Episode Transcript

(00:00):
We go walking to the program.I guess Colorado US Senator Michael Bennett,

(00:04):
a Democrat, I was on CNNlast night and he said that this is
the first I've heard from any ofthe Colorado damns of Michael Bennett said that
in his estimation, he says Bidencan't win. Trump could win by a
landslide. I'm not sure about that, but we shall see. But Michael

(00:24):
Bennett is the first one. Ikept trying to find statements from Polish yesterday
to see if police had said anythingbecause he was at the Governor's compact.
They had last week. Nothing fromhim, but Michael Bennett, Michael Bennett,
Marblemouth has decided. He told CNNthat he's not a big Biden fan
right now. So it's interesting.There's not a lot of senators that have

(00:48):
come out like that and said thosethings. They've done pretty good at closing
rings. So Michael Bennett on therecord that he's not a fan here,
So why it's worth that we shouldwe should have breaking news, breaking news,
breaking news, Probably not, butit is kind of interesting to hear
that from Bennett. He's usually MichaelBennett using it on the forefront of anything
He's not the tip of any spear, but that's what he says. All

(01:10):
right. Good to have everybody here. Jimmy Lakey is my name, pleasured,
pleased, And I hope you feelthe exact same way about being here
with me as I feel about beingwith you. On six hundred kcol let
me welcome into the program, misterSteve Laffey Steve Laffey dot com, author
filmmaker has run for the presidency ofthe United States, and he suffers here
with me every week on the radioshow Steve Laffy. Good morning, sir,

(01:36):
Good morning. You were just speakingabout Michael Bennett. And you know
in Colorado, nobody seems to carethat the US senators are faceless, nameless
and don't do anything, never makesstatements. It is interesting with his I
mean, he sounds worse than Bidenwhen he speaks in many ways, but
that he actually spoke, that someonespoke to him. Because I lived in

(01:57):
Colorado for fourteen years, I meanfrom Rhde Island, Sheldon whitehouses in the
news every day in Tennessee. Yousee people in the news all the time,
and Colorado looks like I got electedand I can just sleep and people
don't care. They're just happy.And I guess we'd have to do the
roads. We could just hang out. But Michael Bennett, you know,
this whole thing, the Biden isturning south, and it's just it's going

(02:20):
to be the Lowell Perry before hegets out. But it's just it's unbelievable
to watch the whole thing that we'vetalked about that I specifically said was going
to happen, and now it's happening. Yeah, it's it's fascinating to see.
I mean, Pelosi gave a ringingendorsement recently of Biden. She says,
I want Joe to do what Joewants to do. I'm like,
that's well, Joe's doing what hewants to do. Well, I want

(02:42):
him to do what he wants todo. It wasn't like I want him
to stay in the races. Iwant Joe to do what Joe wants to
do. So that's not necessarily abig ringing endorsement in my estimation. No,
no, don't think about it.Did any of these people care about
the American people? Did they careabout being ready with national defense? Do
they care about who has to answerthe phone or pick up the red phone
or carry around the nuclear secrets.Is anybody associated with Joe Biden or the

(03:07):
Democratic Party care the winters? Theydon't care, folks. They couldn't care
less. And that's why it's upto Trump to pick somebody who will show
up so well versus Kamila Harris andmake a statement whenever he makes it,
a very serious statement that would bethis is why I'm doing this. I
don't do the color thing, Idon't do the sex thing. I just

(03:29):
think if something happened to me,this person with this experience will be able
to pick up the ball and carryon for the American people and keep you
all safe. That statement alone,they could run ads versus Kamila Harris with
their goofy laughter, not going tothe border. We got all day about
it. That alone will pick upanother point in the polls. And the
top of the news just came out, Jimmy where the new poles are showing

(03:51):
that, as I've said, he'sgonna get, he's gonna he's gonna lose
Minnesota at this rate. And nowMinnesota is like you know in play,
which Democrats have to go to Minnesotato spent money, maybe find the ancestors
of McGovern and Eagleston and see ifthey can take Minnesota like they did in
eighty four. But I don't evenknow what to say about this. It's

(04:13):
people are such losers that there isnothing even to add. And this is
America where we're all at risk becauseof the clown's running the company the country.
You're thinking of the average person onthe streets. I know people left,
right and center, and I've talkedto all of them. They're like,
yeah, this has got to change. We have a real problem here.
And yet you have a President Bidenwho seemingly gets advice from his son

(04:34):
Hunter and Jill and whoever else hasgiven him advice. And have you sent
me a note? Have any ofthese people? Do any of these people
have like normal circles of friends oraverage people. They all live in like
this bubble, and all of us, all of us little pleabes out here,
the plebeians obviously not pleasure to bein the circle. In the within

(04:54):
the game, the audience of thesebourgeoisie type of leads. Nobody's nobody's average
year. So I think you overso just for everybody you know. Over
in France, macran is so farremoved that a month ago or whatever.
He wakes up and says, let'shave some snap elections. Let's, you
know, even though the polls,even though I haven't talked to anybody normally,

(05:15):
I haven't talked to a farmer,but let's just do it because people
must love me in my party.And he gets his butt kicked right and
in fact in the facon that theydo second rounds. Not to bore people
with this, but people do anythingthey can to make sure that Marie Penn
or whatever whose father says something aboutnazis make sure she doesn't win everything right.
But he loses face, he loseseverything he gets because he's not up

(05:39):
for re election himself, so hegets to stick around. Then you have
this guy Sunak, the practicing himdo, who worships Cows. He says
the same thing, let's do asnap election. Let's not late to the
it's not wait till next year.I'm doing fine. He doesn't bother to
visit with Nigel Farage, who runsthis new party. And Farage gets in
the race in the Great Britain,it's a winner take off. So Suona

(06:00):
the Prime Minister has been visited withten normal people. In ten years,
he's worth seven hundred million dollars becausehe married a rich lady, right,
And so they get destroyed. It'sthe biggest loss by conservatives who aren't conservative
by the way, they call themselvesconservatives in Great Britain. It's the biggest
loss in one hundred and ninety years. One hundred and ninety years. And
he doesn't know what's going to happen. And then move to the Democratic Party.

(06:24):
They have no idea what's going onwith normal people. Nancy Pelosi's husband's
the richest guy around. Biden somehowis worth over ten million dollars despite never
making more than one hundred and ninetythree a year, right, he doesn't
even So all these people have noidea what's going on. And yet they're
just gonna head down this road,a careeming off a cliff, a car
in a ditch. What metaphor dowe need? They're just going to keep

(06:46):
doing this. Every day they dothis. It's harder to turn it around,
and they just keep doing it.And Biden writes letters to people.
And now you just reported that oneof the congressman and senators has to change
his mind. Can mention the pressureon these people. He's got to go,
oh, he looks great. Ididn't know. I said he was
eighty one. He's actually eighteen.I got to transposed on just like,

(07:09):
what is going on? All threeof these parties don't have any idea what's
going on with a normal, everydaymiddle class person who's actually running out of
money and is totally ticked off aboutinflation. Yeah, the voice is Steve
laffe his website Steve Laffey dot com. Steve, I'm glad you sent this
piece over. I was reading itthen I realized you're the one that wrote
it. I guess in the BaltimoreSun. And it's an op ed piece.

(07:32):
It's talking about the debt problem.We got a real debt problem in
America. We got an inflation problemin America. We got real problems here.
And as Barack Obama's pastor said onetime, the chickens are coming home
to roost. He goes back tothe same three countries again. Nobody who
ran for office on any of thosethree major parties in Trance cared about the

(07:56):
debt. Nobody in Great Britain ranthe labor parties. They now have practicing
atheists at the prime minister replacing thepracticing Hindu. Okay, at least his
father was a toolmaker like mine.So so they don't care. They're not
going to talk about it, right. And then in America, I rot
in our bed, a great newnewspaper taken over by conservative people. You

(08:16):
know, I'm strong. Williams andother people run the Baltimore Sun now one
of the great old newspapers at alltime. And so my outbed goes through,
like, listen, I've gone overlots of these problems. We can
go watch them. We can solvelots of problems. We now cannot solve
the debt problem. The only answersare like, well, you and I

(08:37):
have talked about either they someone getsup in the morning or the evening on
Friday night and tells the foreigners whoowned eight trillion dollars a debt, we're
not paying. All Holy hell breaksfor this on Monday morning, but at
least we lower our debt too.They announced that everybody gets paid who owns
bonds, pension funds, whatever,not to five or six percent or whatever

(08:58):
it might be. They get paidI don't know one percent. And now
the interest of the debt, ifit's forty trillion at that time. When
they do it, it's four hundredbillion, not one point two trillion.
And I guess then we have tobalance the budget, right, because no
one wants any US dollars or pondsor they just do what they're doing now.
They just keep reving up government spending. The Fed tries to lower rates,
which they're going to try to dolater this year because because the Fed

(09:20):
Reserve is losing one hundred and seventybillion dollars this year, they have to
add to the deficit. Because whatdid they do when the rates were low?
They ginned up the money printing.They bought bonds at zero percent.
Think about that, and now they'rerunning off and they have to replace them
or whatever it's five percent. Sothey're losing like everybody else who bought bonds

(09:41):
back then, they're losing money,but they get to report it to the
Congress. So all these people,what would happen if you ran part of
the government and we're losing one hundredbillion dollar plus per year? Junny,
what if you were losing a million? You'd have to resign, right,
So they're losing one hundred billion becauseof their stupidity to keep rates so low

(10:01):
for so long, which did nothing. So think about it. We live
in a country that GDP. Ithink it's fine. I think we're in
a recession right now. They'll reportit next year whatever. But I could
be wrong, but this is whatI think. But think about what's really
happening. We live in a countrythat thinks it's fine to run a six
percent deficit of gross domestic product whenwhen we actually don't have recession, but

(10:24):
they're spending that much money six percentof GDP to get the economy to grow
at two percent? Does anybody thinkthat's okay? But in other words,
we're losing massive not the money becausethe extra debt is a loser. It's
okay when you have no debt,like a country like a little bit of
debt like Panama and they redo thePanama canal right, and they spend like

(10:46):
twenty three billion dollars doing they shouldn'town it, we should own it.
Carda was wrong, but they doit. But that's because they can charge
a lot more for giant, giantvotes to go through and say people lots
of money instead of going around,you know, Argentina. So that makes
some sense when you have debt.If indeed we had no debt in Colorado,
we fixed all the roads. Peoplego, wow, I want to

(11:07):
live in Colorado. We'd save moneyfor people. But with all the debt
we have, we're just throwing itout a window. And so it was
in France and Great Britain. Allof this is coming home to roost as
the Federal Reserve San Francisco reports thateverybody's run out of money. The fifteen
thousand dollars a guy got, hespent it. It's over. So unless
they want to send him more money, which likely they will do, and

(11:31):
what people expect. A third ofAmericans are out of money. A third
of Americans a out of money.Jimmy, wow, you read the stats
on that. The third of Americansout of money. People putting a lot
of their basic life expenses for theirpower bill, to groceries on credit cards,
carrying a ballance. I mean,it's a real deal. And that's
where I sometimes wonder what these politicalguys are out there talking, thinking and

(11:54):
doing that. That's what's going toaffect people how they vote in November.
Now, how they vote is gonnathat's up to them. But I guarantee
you people are going to be thinkingmuch more about their pocketbook and the grocery
store and their credit cards and anythingelse. That's the real deal. One
last thing for Joe Biden or anybodyto listen to. And you and I

(12:15):
have discussed this since twenty fifteen.Donald Trump in the polls is still off
by four or five percent. Inother words, if he's ahead by six
in all the swing states, he'sup by ten. I know this.
People know this. There's still alot of people if you ask about Donald
Trump who will say they're not votingfor him when they are, or will
say I'm undecided when they're not.He's a one off on this, so

(12:39):
you can't poll correctly. Most ofthe poles are done by liberals, so
they don't get accurate actage stuff anyway. Right, So if he's up by
six, he's really up by ten. When you're up by ten, it's
July. It's so over you can'tbelieve it's over. It's so over for
Joe Biden, the Democrats. Andunless they do something immatical, I will

(13:00):
give them one last piece of advicethat they won't take. You change the
convention, do whatever you gotta do. Have a convention that's open and let
it be a massive blood letting andcome up on the thirty ninth ballot with
James Garfield type character, which theydid back in the day, right with
a thirty ninth ballot, I think, and you actually could win. But
they don't see this. They onlysee what they see right in front of

(13:24):
their face. And they all andit gets back to why these people keep
doing this, Jimmy. They think, like Marie Antinette thought, nothing's gonna
happen to me, and for themost part nothing has. It only happens
to them. When finally it reallyhappens when you get caught with get pinched
down, as I say in theoutbed, and it's about to happen to
America. Now, these people won'tget arrested, Jimmy. So that's without

(13:48):
all they really care about. Right, unless you're a senator from New Jersey,
you don't get arrested. You getto leave office with a picture.
Yeah again in the voice of Steveving, Steve, real quick, we probably
before we talk next, we willhave a running mate from Donald Trump.
You alluded to the importance of thatrunning mate. Do you have any speculation,
any predictions, any advice, forthe old djt on as he makes

(14:09):
a selection. Well besides me,I think the person that would probably help
the most of the government of Virginiawho never gets mentioned. I don't think
he'll go with that, but that'sthe way to take Virginia. It's a
seasoned guy. He doesn't say stupidthings. He has a background has probably
been checked. I would advise DonaldTrump, who doesn't seem to like to
do this, to do a massivebackground check. Though we don't want to

(14:31):
run into weed. The nation doesn'twant to run into He doesn't want to
run into it. An Egletood situationof seventy two where he had to get
out of the race and then sageantsShreiber I think showed up and they lost
forty nine states. But whoever itwould be, it has to add some
gravitas, and I don't know whatit'll be. It seems as though he
likes really wealthy people. Some mightbe someone who's really wealthy. He needs

(14:54):
someone who says I agree with DonaldTrump all the time. I don't know
that's a good pick. It's hardto see who would do this. I
mean, everybody will do it,but they'll just build this like Maka Ruby
just changes opinion. He changes iton your training, he changes in our
taxes. He'll just keep changing it, right, like Mike pens Die it
to be vice president to hope tobe president one day, because remember President
Trump can't run again after this ifhe wins, So whoever becomes the vice

(15:18):
president is de facto in our systemthe leader of running for president and the
Republican Party. So I'm sure everybody'sdoing whatever they can to be the vice
president's pick. I would hope thathe picks somebody with some real gravitas that
maybe we're not thinking about right now, rather than what people put at the
top of the list. That's myhope. Real quick, I'm going to

(15:39):
run short time, about sixty secondshere. I've said from the beginning,
good or better, indifferent. Ithink I think Tim Scott is the guy
you are on the campaign trail andhe thoughts about Tim Scott. I think
Tim Scott could easily be the guybecause he hits all the boxes except for
winning a state, you know,like that's they used to think about.
He hits all about it. Hewill totally say Trump's the greatest, that

(16:02):
guy forever, He's never done anythingreally important. He's probably never been really
in trouble in his background. Trumpright, So yes, he's done nothing
except he's blacky from South Carolina.He actually now has a girlfriend, I
guess, so he can bring herout again once in a while if they
can find her. And never beenseen again since they found it one day
in the campaign trail. But buthe would be he would be a likely

(16:22):
pick by Trump because he's a totalguest man and he just smiles a lot,
and people like him. So he'sa likable guy. Don't get me
wrong, Mo likable to me.I'm like trying to bounce the bucket.
He's like, I love Donald Trump. He's one of the complete sicker fans.
But that's probably he'll go get allright. I called him from Vienna.
I'll call you from Vienna. Vienna. I like the sausages here.

(16:44):
Tell him I said, Hi,Via, want to call you. I
appreciate you. Steve Laffey, SteveLaffy dot com. I'll be back.
