Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air. Good morning, Michael.
It's Jack Nicholson.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Heard America lost a little kickball game against something called Belgium.
Somebody bring me a waffle and a sight of code read.
Good morning, John, Detective Colombo here, World Cup fever.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
For me and a messis.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Listen. I'm trying to wrap my head around this football thing.
American football with two o's, European football with a U
one thing.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I'm short of.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
These shaka guys are scoring less than me and a
missus since nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
For real Scoobs. The World Cup countries are leaving Houston. Yeah,
more reservations for Scooby snacks.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
It's Keith Morrison.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Dateline investigates what's worse a zero zero tie in soccer
or watching fresh paint dry on a wall.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Good morning you, Michael Beery. How you learned that? I
read it to my money? Oh good morn eexcess.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Listen to Good Morning Texas, Morning your card Mo Morning
Texas's on his day.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
We're happy talking about everything.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Good morning, We're not wearing Good morning Texes, Morning Texas.
Good morning, good morning, Wake goleste, goddamn.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Well. The issue of good morning, the issue of birthright
sitsonship has been top of mind the last few weeks
with the Supreme Court decision, and when we look at
immigration to this country and illegal immigration and what we
intended in what is right and what is proper? We
were told for years you couldn't close the border. The
(02:19):
problem was too big, it was multifaceted, so let's do
nothing and let it get worse. But President Trump did
close the border and did begin deporting. And once that happened,
you started noticing that it wasn't as complicated as you thought.
There were people who were creating winners and losers based
(02:39):
on how much money they made on illegal immigration. So
a news story out a South Texas hospital caught advertising
birth packages on billboards inside Mexico. Greg Abbott has ordered
officials to determine whether it violated Texas law.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Republican Rep.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Mara Florites posted a photo of the billboard she says
was in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, which went viral after being caught.
The hospital says it immediately ceased the campaign. The story
from KVUEKU In Austin.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
Governor Greg Abbott orders an immediate investigation into a South
Texas hospital accused of marketing to foreign nationals. The directive
target's Mission Regional Medical Center, alleging the facility is at
advertising birth packages abroad in order to profit from one
officials call birth tourism. The governor says American citizenship is
(03:40):
in for sale and wants the state health agency to
check for any law violations. If proof of wrongdoing is found,
the hospital could face fines or even criminal prosecution, with
the governor promising tougher state laws to stop the practice
during the next legislative session. kV reached out to Mission
Regional Medical Center. They sent us the follow up statement,
(04:00):
reading that the hospitals across the country and throughout the
region share information about the healthcare services provided. It goes
on to say, quote the marketing materials regarding maternity services
are no longer in use due to any unintended misunderstanding,
and they plan to work cooperatively with local and state officials.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Oh, it's just a misunderstanding.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Every licensing, every regulation, every a lot of dollars these
folks receive are from state and federal agencies. You could
shut them down in a second, in a second if
you wanted to. They wouldn't try this if they didn't
think they could get away with it. The hospital had
(04:45):
an international maternity website entitled have my Baby in Texas?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Hmm, isn't that interesting?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Spokesman for Mission Regional Medical Centers said the hospital has
discontinued its maternity marketing materials quote due to any unintended misunderstanding.
I don't think there's any misunderstanding at all. The billboard,
written in Spanish and English, advertised bundled birth packages starting
(05:18):
at thirty nine to fifty three nine hundred fifty for
natural birth in five five twenty five for C section
birth packages. Advertised services that come with packages include breastfeeding
support and prenatal classes, private delivery and postpartum rooms, nick
you discharge education.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Rooms, and quote much more.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
You think that much more might include some help with
some legal documentation. The website featured multiple testimonials of success
stories from their maternity services, including a review from as
far as Mexico City.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Social media posts also.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Echo similar messaging, targeting non US residents to come to
their hospital, with one translated post on Instagram stating are
you pregnant, living abroad and looking to welcome your baby
to South Texas? Look no further. See this is the
problem with birthright citizenship. We would normally not have a
problem with a hospital marketing their services to anyone to
(06:21):
partake of them, unless the hospital was already overcrowded. They're
a service delivery provider. Wouldn't have a problem with that.
But when you can have your baby on American soil
and get immediate American citizenship, creating all sorts of problems
that we've all dealt with and decided we're not going
to continue dealing with in that manner any longer, then
(06:45):
this becomes a nefarious act. This is yet another reason
why birthright citizenship is so wrong, and the Supreme Court
knows it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
There's been a lot.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Written that Justice kevanaugh since then opened the door to
a change in law that would correct what they call
cure What was the intention, Because nobody intended.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
What we've ended.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Up with the reality is, we all know that a
country cannot sustain itself if people from around the world
are allowed to invade without any regulation, without any sense
of strategic admission. We all know that and the people
who do know that but work against us, or people
(07:30):
who want to transform the United States away from what
it is into something that they can control or profit
off of, or rise to a political position of power
over because they don't feel that the Natives would ever
vote for them and their crazy ideas and their crazy
views and their crazy policy plans. So yet you've been
(07:54):
left with this ugly situation from within where we're having
to deal with a situation that frankly was worsened by
illegal immigration itself, a situation where you've had people come
to this country, who arrive in this country and begin
the process of hating it the moment they arrived.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
That's what we're dealing with.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
And a lot of very naive Americans who cannot see
through that.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The lifestyles of the not so rich and famous are
as I call it the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Glynn Campbell died on this day nine years ago at
eighty one years old. I have to say, I don't
know how many people go out on top. Not most
most folks, particularly famous folks, have a run early in life,
and if they can hold on to it for a while,
(08:49):
good and then you just kind of dig in and
hope you can get to the grave still able to
pay your bills off the celebrity you once had had.
But usually you outlive the money and the fame. And
then there are those people who don't even go to
your concerts, who will see a video of you in concert,
(09:13):
who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Who's that?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
He's hanging up.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
He need to quit anst at home and not not
play anymore. Well, you didn't go, What are you disappointed?
Everybody knows if somebody's old and they perform what it's
going to be. When it was announced that Glenn Campbell
had I forget what his actual condition was, Jim, do
you remember what the condition was? The actual it was
(09:38):
some form of dementia, But he was he was losing
his memory and he'd lose it in little packets of
time and and so he goes on tour and he
sings Gentle on My Mind, and then you know they
they made a documentary of it, and you know in
(10:01):
a songletter he'd he'd turned to his son and the family,
the band and general on my Mind. No, no, we
did that, and sometimes they let him do it. Several
times he didn't know.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's a popular song. Everybody loves the song.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
It's timeless and wonderful, and you can hear it a
few times, and so the audience would would sort of
indulge him in this, and nobody seemed to mind. You
knew before you went to the concert that he was
in this condition, this was his this was his farewell tour,
and it wouldn't be long, and that he'd had these
significant memory issues, and nobody, everybody, kind of everybody kind
(10:40):
of joined in.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
You know.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
It was sort of like a closing of the ranks to.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Show Glenn Campbell some love.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
And his very few people are so in their public lives,
are so lucky to get that kind of public compassion
and mercy and grace. The public can be cruel, the
very public that once loved you can be terribly, terribly cruel,
(11:16):
and especially toward age. And as I've said many times
times before, I don't think it has anything to do
with the person that they're talking about. I think that
we cringe, We look away from age. We don't want
to wither, we don't want to be wizened, we don't
want to be drawn up, seized up, crippled, slooped over,
(11:39):
stumped over, with wrinkles.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
And our hair fall out or our hair changed colors.
We don't want that. We reject it.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
We viscerally rejected it, so that when we see it
in someone who was beloved, we want them to hide,
to go away, to withdraw from public life.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Don't go out and sing anymore.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
You can't sing the way you once could, and having
to look at you grosses me out. That's the impression
I get. That's the distinct impression I get. Scott Jennings
on CNN absolute brilliance talking about Graham Platner, the Democrats
senate candidate from Maine.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
He said this, I'm amazed that is how breezily Democrats
are out there publicly discussing subverting the will of the
people of Maine. Graham Platner overwhelmingly won a primary ninety
eight percent. Of what we know about Graham Platner, we
already knew. The voters knew, the Democrats knew, the activists new,
the donors knew. Everybody knew. There is a reason where
(12:45):
they voted for him of twenty four they voted for anyway.
Your grandplayer hasn't droped out of this region.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Grand Planter does drop out, but all these.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Democrats and even some of the well, I guess we'll
have to get somebody else.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
You had a vote.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
This is a democracy. The Democrat ass voted, and now
the Party of Democracy is apparently going to subvert the
will of the people.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
From Scott though, is that obviously the Republicans at this
point would love to run again scram platform.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I mean got a gift. I mean that would be
a gift for that.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
And it's not a gift that someone like this was
allowed to make it this far in this process. But
he did make it this far. And I think the
Demics sometimes, what's the old saying, you know, you made
your bed, now you got to lie in it. Well,
the process here, the Democrats ought to have to lie
in this.
Speaker 10 (13:33):
I just.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Everybody knew Graham Platner's dark secrets, but look the other way.
Until now, everyone except the folks at NPR, they're still
holding on to hope.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
The following program is only made possible by contributions from
listeners like you Good Evening.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
This is hard fact's soft voices, And I'm Wesley Cardigan.
Tonight we must sit with something uncomfortable, and I want
you to sit with me in the discomfort on a
cushion ideally reclaimed sit it. Candidate Graham Platner, oyster man,
poet ally has been accused, and the corporate media wants
a simple answer. But friends, I want to ask a harder.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Question, a braver question.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Who among us has not not literally obviously, please don't
clip that, But consider, for four hundred years, American capitalism
has taken from this land without consent. It stripped the topsoil,
it fracked the bedrock. Did anyone ask the Ogolalla aquifer
how it felt? Did anyone ask the prairie? So when
(14:38):
we condemn one man, are we not deflecting? Are we
not letting big oil off the hook?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I'm just asking.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I'm just a small voice in a large fleece. Platner
is running against a Republican who voted against Wetlands Wetland's friends, So,
in a very real sense, staying in this race may
be the most feminist thing he can do. We believe survivors,
We believe them so much, and we also believe in
the map, in the count, in the sixty vote threshold,
(15:08):
we believe her. We're just believing her quietly off cycle
in a state that doesn't matter. Following this program, Junipermonhollow
demonstrates throat singing for reluctant sourdough starters. I'm Wesley Cardigan
and this has been.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Complicated very y'all.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
I don't know who Sonny Hostin was before The View.
I don't know how she ended up on the View,
but I am grateful she's there, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Grateful that show is there.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
The View is one of those programs that nobody actually
watches in real time. Joy Reid Show was this way,
and there was actually a programmer at CNN or MSNBC
who talked about this that shown some shows are programmed
(16:13):
to be talked about later, nobody ever actually watches them,
and the hope is that because they're talked about later,
people will say, well, I keep hearing about in this case,
the View, let me watch it. But it doesn't happen.
This show is designed to gather a hen party of
(16:37):
women who are incredibly uninformed on anything. They're all dysfunctional
afternoon drunks and talk about important, serious issues, but from
a postmenopausal, very uninformed, highly emotional perspective, and because it's
(17:03):
so stupid, it makes for a good talk radio and
Fox uses a lot of their stuff, so they get
a lot of secondhand attention just based on the stuff
they do. Sonny Houstin is a great example of the
perfect casting for this program. So she goes on the
(17:27):
View and says out loud into a microphone that's being
filmed that she would have plugged her nose and voted
for Graham Platner anyway.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 9 (17:41):
I lived in Maine, I would have, you know, plugged
my nose and I would have voted for him.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Anyway.
Speaker 9 (17:46):
I think that we are in a time of eccientil
crisis in this country. I think Republicans fall in line,
they don't fall in love. Democrats want to fall in
love and not fall in line. You know, the Republican Party,
the bar is.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
So very low.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
Believe I cannot believe that they want to try to
assume the moral high ground the Republican Party. I mean,
you know, you can miss me with all that, especially
when you have Pete Hexap, who was confirmed by the
Senate in twenty twenty five as the head as a
cabinet member as the Defense Secretary, when he had one
(18:24):
drinking allegations his sister in law. His sister in law
submitted a sworn affidavit describing his drinking problem, and in
order to get confirmed, he pledged he wouldn't drink on
the job. Number two, he had a tattoo controversy, not one,
but two tattoo controversies. One was a Day's vault tattoo,
which is used by white nationalist groups. Two he had
(18:46):
as a Jerusalem cross tattoo, which has been interpreted as
an extreme extremist symbol. And finally, in twenty seventeen, a
woman claimed he had sexually assaulted her after a conference.
She reported that assaulted me. Imediately, she had a sexual
assault examination and in twenty twenty and he says it
was a consensual encounter. And in twenty twenty he paid
(19:07):
her fifty thousand dollars to settle the claim. Yet yet
there all yet condemned Republicans that Republicans confirmed him, and.
Speaker 11 (19:17):
Republican right here, anyone who's been credibly used.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
I'm thinking about the Republican Party as a whole. So
when they are the Epstein, they are the Epstein file
protect protection party.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
There was a time women couldn't vote here.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
She is she's she's afraid of the American flag.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
And I said this on this show many many years ago,
because this is my tenth year on the show, and
I said, there are times when I walk into a
community and I see American flags all over the community,
and I suddenly feel unsafe because there is a section
of this country that has co opted the American flag,
and they equate a b an American or an American
(20:01):
flag with white supremacy, and that should never be the
symbol of white supremacy, but they have weaponized because the flag.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Belongs to all of us. It does belong to all
of us. Were both memories? Oh yes, oh yes.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Some woman in the crowd is feeling very empowered. She's
gonna clap for that one, and some others clapped with her.
Yes they have. They're weighing in on the very important
issues in people are listening to them. Mika Brazinski, mourning
(20:36):
Joe's mistress, spent five minutes grilling the Politico reporter who
broke the Platiner story. No police report, no legal case,
what makes this publishable? Adam Wrenn walked through it. There
were there were corroborating pieces of evidence, this is Adam Wrenn,
Politico reporter.
Speaker 11 (20:57):
We found ultimately the number of grading pieces of evidence, uh,
to to support her story, uh in a way that
we could report it.
Speaker 10 (21:08):
So what are some of those corroborating pieces of evidence.
So you've got uh, conversations with her therapist and people
who she confide it in any any conversations with Graham
Platner at the time of it, where she said because
apparently as part of this story, she says she even
(21:29):
confirmed to him that this was not consent.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Do you have that? What? What do you have that.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
Actually connects this literally Graham Platner to raping this victim.
Speaker 12 (21:43):
Yeah, she reached out to him the day after via
Instagram and essentially, you know, told him that, you know,
she didn't want to hear from again.
Speaker 11 (21:55):
She told him that morning as well.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
And uh, you know, we.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
Looked at messages that she had sent to others in
the months after this happened through.
Speaker 10 (22:06):
Social media to see those dms.
Speaker 11 (22:10):
She tried to recover those dms. We did not We
were not able to review those dms, but she described
them to us. We also, long before he was a
public before he was a political candidate, we saw her
essentially explain to others that he was quote in her words,
consensually careless end quote.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
But were you able to see the interactions between Graham
Platner and this alleged victim. Did you actually physically see them?
Did she produce them for you?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
She attempted to uncover them?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
What was unable to.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
Such a weird place in this country where the only
thing that can disalign how a person in politics is sex?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Nothing you do.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
You can leave the borders wide open, you can. You
can deplete the treasury, you can give contracts to every
family member. You can steal billions of dollars. You can
take money from the Chinese, the Russians, the Ukrainians. It
doesn't matter, none of it, None of it is disqualifying.
(23:32):
The only thing we ever care about is sex. There's
something deep rooted here, There's something really deeply rooted in
our public consciousness that the one violation that anybody cares
about is sex. So look, this guy should be gone.
(23:57):
The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for him. But
we didn't need a girl saying. He came over and
wanted saxon. I said no, and he continued. It didn't
take that to get there. We should have seen this
ten steps ago. Democrats have been so eager to find
(24:17):
candidates that they can then put their grassroots, their organization,
their paid money, their activists, their media friendships toward winning.
But they got to go find the candidate. You will
remember that Alexandria Cassio Cortez, Sandy from the block, the
bartender from the neighborhood block, auditioned along with other people.
(24:44):
They sat across from a table. How does she look?
How does she speak? Can she repeat the lines we
give her? Is she coachable? Teachable? Ownable? Because this was
the camel's nose under the tent. We're going to get
her in there and make her nationally famous, and damned
if they didn't do it.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Well.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
You want to know how Graham Plattner became the Democrat
candidate for US Senate in Maine. Three people found him
on the internet. They liked his oyster farm. It's not
a joke. They pulled his Federal Election Commission history. They
saw that he had donated to Bernie Sanders. They said, oh,
(25:27):
this is our guy. We've got our guy. They hired
a firm to vet him. The Wall Street Journal sat
down with the people who built Graham Platner.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
How did you find Graham Platner?
Speaker 13 (25:44):
Well, so, I mean, we went through thousands and thousands
of prospects. I'm dad, you know, Lee, I'm pulled up
this video of this guy with an oyster farm.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
My name is Graham Plattner and I live in hold On.
I'm going to have to hear this dude's voice again.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
And this is the weasel who is choosing caledates for
the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Oh my goodness, he.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
Has a lower testosterone level than James tall Rico. This
is a Democrat man.
Speaker 13 (26:15):
Here we go off this video of this guy with
an oyster farm.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
My name is Graham Plattner and I live in Sullivan, Maine,
the owner of Frenchman Bay Oyster Company.
Speaker 13 (26:24):
And then she pulled up his FEC history and saw, Yeah,
the money he'd given to Bernie Sanders and you know,
some other people. And that was enough information to know
that we had the best prospects that we'd maybe ever seen.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
How did you go about vetting him?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
And why did you we paid?
Speaker 13 (26:43):
Yeah, we paid a nice firm a whole chunk of
money and got some stuff back.
Speaker 14 (26:50):
Did the vetting process turn up the tattoo that became
so controversial.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Now the Reddit posts did that turn up in the
vetting process.
Speaker 13 (27:06):
The firm sent us a thing and it had some
of the ps, but it didn't have all of them.
Speaker 14 (27:12):
How did you think your way through the fact that
he had posted these things on social media?
Speaker 13 (27:18):
I said, none of this well or should stop him
from becoming a US.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Center good grief. That is choosing people from outside outsiders,
choosing a person.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
This is Lena Hidalgo all over again, thrusting that person
in front of you with all the machinery. This is
a king tut type situation. This is what you would
have in the royal family. The heir to the throne
would be placed up there and they would have his
entire court, in his military and his advisors, and he
(28:01):
would just be there as the front. And that's what
here's a manly man. We got some manly man at
an oyster farm. They probably already had the spots written.
Graham Platner understands a hard day's work. This is him
at his oyster farm. Susan Collins, She's not an oyster farmer.
(28:24):
Graham Platiner is, and he understands it. You gotta dig
a little to get to the truth. Graham Platner, Democrat
for Senator, and you find out that it's this little
sissified weasel up talker.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Well, we thought.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
That none of it.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Would be a problem. We really like him.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Good.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
Let's hear that again. We gotta hear that again. This
is who is choosing candidates for the Democrats. These are
not people who choose to run. They go and knock
on the door. You're a real manly man. We think
we can put you in the Senate. You'll get really rich,
and George Soros has a lot of money and we'll
(29:13):
we'll run the campaign for you. You're such a manly man
and that's what we need.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Listen to this guy.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
How did you find Graham Platner?
Speaker 13 (29:25):
Well, so, I mean, we went through thousands and thousands
of prospects. I'm dead, you know, prospects. Stop this video
of this guy with an oyster farm.
Speaker 12 (29:33):
My name is Graham Plattner and I live in Sullivan, Maine,
the owner of Frenchman Bay Oaster Company.
Speaker 13 (29:38):
And then she pulled up his FEC history and saw,
you know, the money he'd given to Bernie Sanders and
you know some other people, and that was enough information
to know that we had the best prospect that we'd
maybe ever seen.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
How did you go about vetting him?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
And why did you We paid a Yeah, we paid.
Speaker 13 (29:58):
We paid a nice firm a whole money and got
some stuff back.
Speaker 14 (30:04):
Did the vetting process turn up the tattoo that became
so controversial?
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Now the reddit posts did notice how they process?
Speaker 13 (30:19):
The firm sent us a thing and it had some
of the pace, but it didn't have all of them.
Speaker 14 (30:26):
How did you think your way through the fact that
he had posted these things on social media?
Speaker 13 (30:32):
I said, none of this well or should stop him
from becoming a US senator.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
He decided that this would be the nominee, this little weasel. Here,
there's your American political process at play, and we have
obtained exclusive audio of the actual vetting process.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Qualifications rape, murder, awesome and rape.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You said rape twice. I like grape, new jobbing sign
right here.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
There's a blazing saddles for everything. So I want you
to stop and ponder for a moment. This is bigger
than aoc or Tall Rico or Graham Platner. This gets
to the fundamental foundation of our political system.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
In America today.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
These people are being chosen, groomed, funded. The package is
handed to the media. What to highlight, what to stay
away from. There's millions of dollars pumped into creating a
glossy ad. This is what our process has become. That
(32:04):
it'd be interesting to know. Do they care what this
person thinks about any issues? And what would be those
few issues that he has to pledge allegiance to the
important thing is to defeat the Republicans with a controllable Democrat.
(32:26):
And they these these three people, they choose him. And
now now you've heard from them, and you wonder why
DC is what it is.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air. Good morning, Michael.
It's Jack Nicholson.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Heard America lost a little kickball game against something called Belgium.
Somebody bring me a waffle and a sight of code read.
Good morning, John, Detective Colombo here, World Cup fever.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
For me and a messis.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Listen. I'm trying to wrap my head around this football thing.
American football with two o's, European football with a U
one thing.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I'm short of.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
These shaka guys are scoring less than me and a
missus since nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
For real Scoobs. The World Cup countries are leaving Houston. Yeah,
more reservations for Scooby snacks.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
It's Keith Morrison.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Dateline investigates what's worse a zero zero tie in soccer
or watching fresh paint dry on a wall.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Good morning you, Michael Beery. How you learned that? I
read it to my money? Oh good morn eexcess.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Listen to Good Morning Texas, Morning your card Mo Morning
Texas's on his day.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
We're happy talking about everything.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Good morning, We're not wearing Good morning Texes, Morning Texas.
Good morning, good morning, Wake goleste, goddamn.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Well. The issue of good morning, the issue of birthright
sitsonship has been top of mind the last few weeks
with the Supreme Court decision, and when we look at
immigration to this country and illegal immigration and what we
intended in what is right and what is proper? We
were told for years you couldn't close the border. The
(02:19):
problem was too big, it was multifaceted, so let's do
nothing and let it get worse. But President Trump did
close the border and did begin deporting. And once that happened,
you started noticing that it wasn't as complicated as you thought.
There were people who were creating winners and losers based
(02:39):
on how much money they made on illegal immigration. So
a news story out a South Texas hospital caught advertising
birth packages on billboards inside Mexico. Greg Abbott has ordered
officials to determine whether it violated Texas law.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Republican Rep.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Mara Florites posted a photo of the billboard she says
was in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, which went viral after being caught.
The hospital says it immediately ceased the campaign. The story
from KVUEKU In Austin.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
Governor Greg Abbott orders an immediate investigation into a South
Texas hospital accused of marketing to foreign nationals. The directive
target's Mission Regional Medical Center, alleging the facility is at
advertising birth packages abroad in order to profit from one
officials call birth tourism. The governor says American citizenship is
(03:40):
in for sale and wants the state health agency to
check for any law violations. If proof of wrongdoing is found,
the hospital could face fines or even criminal prosecution, with
the governor promising tougher state laws to stop the practice
during the next legislative session. kV reached out to Mission
Regional Medical Center. They sent us the follow up statement,
(04:00):
reading that the hospitals across the country and throughout the
region share information about the healthcare services provided. It goes
on to say, quote the marketing materials regarding maternity services
are no longer in use due to any unintended misunderstanding,
and they plan to work cooperatively with local and state officials.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Oh, it's just a misunderstanding.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Every licensing, every regulation, every a lot of dollars these
folks receive are from state and federal agencies. You could
shut them down in a second, in a second if
you wanted to. They wouldn't try this if they didn't
think they could get away with it. The hospital had
(04:45):
an international maternity website entitled have my Baby in Texas?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Hmm, isn't that interesting?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Spokesman for Mission Regional Medical Centers said the hospital has
discontinued its maternity marketing materials quote due to any unintended misunderstanding.
I don't think there's any misunderstanding at all. The billboard,
written in Spanish and English, advertised bundled birth packages starting
(05:18):
at thirty nine to fifty three nine hundred fifty for
natural birth in five five twenty five for C section
birth packages. Advertised services that come with packages include breastfeeding
support and prenatal classes, private delivery and postpartum rooms, nick
you discharge education.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Rooms, and quote much more.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
You think that much more might include some help with
some legal documentation. The website featured multiple testimonials of success
stories from their maternity services, including a review from as
far as Mexico City.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Social media posts also.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Echo similar messaging, targeting non US residents to come to
their hospital, with one translated post on Instagram stating are
you pregnant, living abroad and looking to welcome your baby
to South Texas? Look no further. See this is the
problem with birthright citizenship. We would normally not have a
problem with a hospital marketing their services to anyone to
(06:21):
partake of them, unless the hospital was already overcrowded. They're
a service delivery provider. Wouldn't have a problem with that.
But when you can have your baby on American soil
and get immediate American citizenship, creating all sorts of problems
that we've all dealt with and decided we're not going
to continue dealing with in that manner any longer, then
(06:45):
this becomes a nefarious act. This is yet another reason
why birthright citizenship is so wrong, and the Supreme Court
knows it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
There's been a lot.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Written that Justice kevanaugh since then opened the door to
a change in law that would correct what they call
cure What was the intention, Because nobody intended.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
What we've ended.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Up with the reality is, we all know that a
country cannot sustain itself if people from around the world
are allowed to invade without any regulation, without any sense
of strategic admission. We all know that and the people
who do know that but work against us, or people
(07:30):
who want to transform the United States away from what
it is into something that they can control or profit
off of, or rise to a political position of power
over because they don't feel that the Natives would ever
vote for them and their crazy ideas and their crazy
views and their crazy policy plans. So yet you've been
(07:54):
left with this ugly situation from within where we're having
to deal with a situation that frankly was worsened by
illegal immigration itself, a situation where you've had people come
to this country, who arrive in this country and begin
the process of hating it the moment they arrived.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
That's what we're dealing with.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
And a lot of very naive Americans who cannot see
through that.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The lifestyles of the not so rich and famous are
as I call it the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Glynn Campbell died on this day nine years ago at
eighty one years old. I have to say, I don't
know how many people go out on top. Not most
most folks, particularly famous folks, have a run early in life,
and if they can hold on to it for a while,
(08:49):
good and then you just kind of dig in and
hope you can get to the grave still able to
pay your bills off the celebrity you once had had.
But usually you outlive the money and the fame. And
then there are those people who don't even go to
your concerts, who will see a video of you in concert,
(09:13):
who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Who's that?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
He's hanging up.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
He need to quit anst at home and not not
play anymore. Well, you didn't go, What are you disappointed?
Everybody knows if somebody's old and they perform what it's
going to be. When it was announced that Glenn Campbell
had I forget what his actual condition was, Jim, do
you remember what the condition was? The actual it was
(09:38):
some form of dementia, But he was he was losing
his memory and he'd lose it in little packets of
time and and so he goes on tour and he
sings Gentle on My Mind, and then you know they
they made a documentary of it, and you know in
(10:01):
a songletter he'd he'd turned to his son and the family,
the band and general on my Mind. No, no, we
did that, and sometimes they let him do it. Several
times he didn't know.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's a popular song. Everybody loves the song.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
It's timeless and wonderful, and you can hear it a
few times, and so the audience would would sort of
indulge him in this, and nobody seemed to mind. You
knew before you went to the concert that he was
in this condition, this was his this was his farewell tour,
and it wouldn't be long, and that he'd had these
significant memory issues, and nobody, everybody, kind of everybody kind
(10:40):
of joined in.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
You know.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
It was sort of like a closing of the ranks to.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Show Glenn Campbell some love.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
And his very few people are so in their public lives,
are so lucky to get that kind of public compassion
and mercy and grace. The public can be cruel, the
very public that once loved you can be terribly, terribly cruel,
(11:16):
and especially toward age. And as I've said many times
times before, I don't think it has anything to do
with the person that they're talking about. I think that
we cringe, We look away from age. We don't want
to wither, we don't want to be wizened, we don't
want to be drawn up, seized up, crippled, slooped over,
(11:39):
stumped over, with wrinkles.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
And our hair fall out or our hair changed colors.
We don't want that. We reject it.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
We viscerally rejected it, so that when we see it
in someone who was beloved, we want them to hide,
to go away, to withdraw from public life.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Don't go out and sing anymore.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
You can't sing the way you once could, and having
to look at you grosses me out. That's the impression
I get. That's the distinct impression I get. Scott Jennings
on CNN absolute brilliance talking about Graham Platner, the Democrats
senate candidate from Maine.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
He said this, I'm amazed that is how breezily Democrats
are out there publicly discussing subverting the will of the
people of Maine. Graham Platner overwhelmingly won a primary ninety
eight percent. Of what we know about Graham Platner, we
already knew. The voters knew, the Democrats knew, the activists new,
the donors knew. Everybody knew. There is a reason where
(12:45):
they voted for him of twenty four they voted for anyway.
Your grandplayer hasn't droped out of this region.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Grand Planter does drop out, but all these.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Democrats and even some of the well, I guess we'll
have to get somebody else.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
You had a vote.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
This is a democracy. The Democrat ass voted, and now
the Party of Democracy is apparently going to subvert the
will of the people.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
From Scott though, is that obviously the Republicans at this
point would love to run again scram platform.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I mean got a gift. I mean that would be
a gift for that.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
And it's not a gift that someone like this was
allowed to make it this far in this process. But
he did make it this far. And I think the
Demics sometimes, what's the old saying, you know, you made
your bed, now you got to lie in it. Well,
the process here, the Democrats ought to have to lie
in this.
Speaker 10 (13:33):
I just.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Everybody knew Graham Platner's dark secrets, but look the other way.
Until now, everyone except the folks at NPR, they're still
holding on to hope.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
The following program is only made possible by contributions from
listeners like you Good Evening.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
This is hard fact's soft voices, And I'm Wesley Cardigan.
Tonight we must sit with something uncomfortable, and I want
you to sit with me in the discomfort on a
cushion ideally reclaimed sit it. Candidate Graham Platner, oyster man,
poet ally has been accused, and the corporate media wants
a simple answer. But friends, I want to ask a harder.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Question, a braver question.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Who among us has not not literally obviously, please don't
clip that, But consider, for four hundred years, American capitalism
has taken from this land without consent. It stripped the topsoil,
it fracked the bedrock. Did anyone ask the Ogolalla aquifer
how it felt? Did anyone ask the prairie? So when
(14:38):
we condemn one man, are we not deflecting? Are we
not letting big oil off the hook?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I'm just asking.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I'm just a small voice in a large fleece. Platner
is running against a Republican who voted against Wetlands Wetland's friends, So,
in a very real sense, staying in this race may
be the most feminist thing he can do. We believe survivors,
We believe them so much, and we also believe in
the map, in the count, in the sixty vote threshold,
(15:08):
we believe her. We're just believing her quietly off cycle
in a state that doesn't matter. Following this program, Junipermonhollow
demonstrates throat singing for reluctant sourdough starters. I'm Wesley Cardigan
and this has been.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Complicated very y'all.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
I don't know who Sonny Hostin was before The View.
I don't know how she ended up on the View,
but I am grateful she's there, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Grateful that show is there.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
The View is one of those programs that nobody actually
watches in real time. Joy Reid Show was this way,
and there was actually a programmer at CNN or MSNBC
who talked about this that shown some shows are programmed
(16:13):
to be talked about later, nobody ever actually watches them,
and the hope is that because they're talked about later,
people will say, well, I keep hearing about in this case,
the View, let me watch it. But it doesn't happen.
This show is designed to gather a hen party of
(16:37):
women who are incredibly uninformed on anything. They're all dysfunctional
afternoon drunks and talk about important, serious issues, but from
a postmenopausal, very uninformed, highly emotional perspective, and because it's
(17:03):
so stupid, it makes for a good talk radio and
Fox uses a lot of their stuff, so they get
a lot of secondhand attention just based on the stuff
they do. Sonny Houstin is a great example of the
perfect casting for this program. So she goes on the
(17:27):
View and says out loud into a microphone that's being
filmed that she would have plugged her nose and voted
for Graham Platner anyway.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 9 (17:41):
I lived in Maine, I would have, you know, plugged
my nose and I would have voted for him.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Anyway.
Speaker 9 (17:46):
I think that we are in a time of eccientil
crisis in this country. I think Republicans fall in line,
they don't fall in love. Democrats want to fall in
love and not fall in line. You know, the Republican Party,
the bar is.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
So very low.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
Believe I cannot believe that they want to try to
assume the moral high ground the Republican Party. I mean,
you know, you can miss me with all that, especially
when you have Pete Hexap, who was confirmed by the
Senate in twenty twenty five as the head as a
cabinet member as the Defense Secretary, when he had one
(18:24):
drinking allegations his sister in law. His sister in law
submitted a sworn affidavit describing his drinking problem, and in
order to get confirmed, he pledged he wouldn't drink on
the job. Number two, he had a tattoo controversy, not one,
but two tattoo controversies. One was a Day's vault tattoo,
which is used by white nationalist groups. Two he had
(18:46):
as a Jerusalem cross tattoo, which has been interpreted as
an extreme extremist symbol. And finally, in twenty seventeen, a
woman claimed he had sexually assaulted her after a conference.
She reported that assaulted me. Imediately, she had a sexual
assault examination and in twenty twenty and he says it
was a consensual encounter. And in twenty twenty he paid
(19:07):
her fifty thousand dollars to settle the claim. Yet yet
there all yet condemned Republicans that Republicans confirmed him, and.
Speaker 11 (19:17):
Republican right here, anyone who's been credibly used.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
I'm thinking about the Republican Party as a whole. So
when they are the Epstein, they are the Epstein file
protect protection party.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
There was a time women couldn't vote here.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
She is she's she's afraid of the American flag.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
And I said this on this show many many years ago,
because this is my tenth year on the show, and
I said, there are times when I walk into a
community and I see American flags all over the community,
and I suddenly feel unsafe because there is a section
of this country that has co opted the American flag,
and they equate a b an American or an American
(20:01):
flag with white supremacy, and that should never be the
symbol of white supremacy, but they have weaponized because the flag.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Belongs to all of us. It does belong to all
of us. Were both memories? Oh yes, oh yes.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Some woman in the crowd is feeling very empowered. She's
gonna clap for that one, and some others clapped with her.
Yes they have. They're weighing in on the very important
issues in people are listening to them. Mika Brazinski, mourning
(20:36):
Joe's mistress, spent five minutes grilling the Politico reporter who
broke the Platiner story. No police report, no legal case,
what makes this publishable? Adam Wrenn walked through it. There
were there were corroborating pieces of evidence, this is Adam Wrenn,
Politico reporter.
Speaker 11 (20:57):
We found ultimately the number of grading pieces of evidence, uh,
to to support her story, uh in a way that
we could report it.
Speaker 10 (21:08):
So what are some of those corroborating pieces of evidence.
So you've got uh, conversations with her therapist and people
who she confide it in any any conversations with Graham
Platner at the time of it, where she said because
apparently as part of this story, she says she even
(21:29):
confirmed to him that this was not consent.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Do you have that? What? What do you have that.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
Actually connects this literally Graham Platner to raping this victim.
Speaker 12 (21:43):
Yeah, she reached out to him the day after via
Instagram and essentially, you know, told him that, you know,
she didn't want to hear from again.
Speaker 11 (21:55):
She told him that morning as well.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
And uh, you know, we.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
Looked at messages that she had sent to others in
the months after this happened through.
Speaker 10 (22:06):
Social media to see those dms.
Speaker 11 (22:10):
She tried to recover those dms. We did not We
were not able to review those dms, but she described
them to us. We also, long before he was a
public before he was a political candidate, we saw her
essentially explain to others that he was quote in her words,
consensually careless end quote.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
But were you able to see the interactions between Graham
Platner and this alleged victim. Did you actually physically see them?
Did she produce them for you?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
She attempted to uncover them?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
What was unable to.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
Such a weird place in this country where the only
thing that can disalign how a person in politics is sex?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Nothing you do.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
You can leave the borders wide open, you can. You
can deplete the treasury, you can give contracts to every
family member. You can steal billions of dollars. You can
take money from the Chinese, the Russians, the Ukrainians. It
doesn't matter, none of it, None of it is disqualifying.
(23:32):
The only thing we ever care about is sex. There's
something deep rooted here, There's something really deeply rooted in
our public consciousness that the one violation that anybody cares
about is sex. So look, this guy should be gone.
(23:57):
The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for him. But
we didn't need a girl saying. He came over and
wanted saxon. I said no, and he continued. It didn't
take that to get there. We should have seen this
ten steps ago. Democrats have been so eager to find
(24:17):
candidates that they can then put their grassroots, their organization,
their paid money, their activists, their media friendships toward winning.
But they got to go find the candidate. You will
remember that Alexandria Cassio Cortez, Sandy from the block, the
bartender from the neighborhood block, auditioned along with other people.
(24:44):
They sat across from a table. How does she look?
How does she speak? Can she repeat the lines we
give her? Is she coachable? Teachable? Ownable? Because this was
the camel's nose under the tent. We're going to get
her in there and make her nationally famous, and damned
if they didn't do it.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Well.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
You want to know how Graham Plattner became the Democrat
candidate for US Senate in Maine. Three people found him
on the internet. They liked his oyster farm. It's not
a joke. They pulled his Federal Election Commission history. They
saw that he had donated to Bernie Sanders. They said, oh,
(25:27):
this is our guy. We've got our guy. They hired
a firm to vet him. The Wall Street Journal sat
down with the people who built Graham Platner.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
How did you find Graham Platner?
Speaker 13 (25:44):
Well, so, I mean, we went through thousands and thousands
of prospects. I'm dad, you know, Lee, I'm pulled up
this video of this guy with an oyster farm.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
My name is Graham Plattner and I live in hold On.
I'm going to have to hear this dude's voice again.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
And this is the weasel who is choosing caledates for
the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Oh my goodness, he.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
Has a lower testosterone level than James tall Rico. This
is a Democrat man.
Speaker 13 (26:15):
Here we go off this video of this guy with
an oyster farm.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
My name is Graham Plattner and I live in Sullivan, Maine,
the owner of Frenchman Bay Oyster Company.
Speaker 13 (26:24):
And then she pulled up his FEC history and saw, Yeah,
the money he'd given to Bernie Sanders and you know,
some other people. And that was enough information to know
that we had the best prospects that we'd maybe ever seen.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
How did you go about vetting him?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
And why did you we paid?
Speaker 13 (26:43):
Yeah, we paid a nice firm a whole chunk of
money and got some stuff back.
Speaker 14 (26:50):
Did the vetting process turn up the tattoo that became
so controversial.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Now the Reddit posts did that turn up in the
vetting process.
Speaker 13 (27:06):
The firm sent us a thing and it had some
of the ps, but it didn't have all of them.
Speaker 14 (27:12):
How did you think your way through the fact that
he had posted these things on social media?
Speaker 13 (27:18):
I said, none of this well or should stop him
from becoming a US.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Center good grief. That is choosing people from outside outsiders,
choosing a person.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
This is Lena Hidalgo all over again, thrusting that person
in front of you with all the machinery. This is
a king tut type situation. This is what you would
have in the royal family. The heir to the throne
would be placed up there and they would have his
entire court, in his military and his advisors, and he
(28:01):
would just be there as the front. And that's what
here's a manly man. We got some manly man at
an oyster farm. They probably already had the spots written.
Graham Platner understands a hard day's work. This is him
at his oyster farm. Susan Collins, She's not an oyster farmer.
(28:24):
Graham Platiner is, and he understands it. You gotta dig
a little to get to the truth. Graham Platner, Democrat
for Senator, and you find out that it's this little
sissified weasel up talker.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Well, we thought.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
That none of it.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Would be a problem. We really like him.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Good.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
Let's hear that again. We gotta hear that again. This
is who is choosing candidates for the Democrats. These are
not people who choose to run. They go and knock
on the door. You're a real manly man. We think
we can put you in the Senate. You'll get really rich,
and George Soros has a lot of money and we'll
(29:13):
we'll run the campaign for you. You're such a manly man
and that's what we need.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Listen to this guy.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
How did you find Graham Platner?
Speaker 13 (29:25):
Well, so, I mean, we went through thousands and thousands
of prospects. I'm dead, you know, prospects. Stop this video
of this guy with an oyster farm.
Speaker 12 (29:33):
My name is Graham Plattner and I live in Sullivan, Maine,
the owner of Frenchman Bay Oaster Company.
Speaker 13 (29:38):
And then she pulled up his FEC history and saw,
you know, the money he'd given to Bernie Sanders and
you know some other people, and that was enough information
to know that we had the best prospect that we'd
maybe ever seen.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
How did you go about vetting him?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
And why did you We paid a Yeah, we paid.
Speaker 13 (29:58):
We paid a nice firm a whole money and got
some stuff back.
Speaker 14 (30:04):
Did the vetting process turn up the tattoo that became
so controversial?
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Now the reddit posts did notice how they process?
Speaker 13 (30:19):
The firm sent us a thing and it had some
of the pace, but it didn't have all of them.
Speaker 14 (30:26):
How did you think your way through the fact that
he had posted these things on social media?
Speaker 13 (30:32):
I said, none of this well or should stop him
from becoming a US senator.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
He decided that this would be the nominee, this little weasel. Here,
there's your American political process at play, and we have
obtained exclusive audio of the actual vetting process.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Qualifications rape, murder, awesome and rape.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You said rape twice. I like grape, new jobbing sign
right here.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
There's a blazing saddles for everything. So I want you
to stop and ponder for a moment. This is bigger
than aoc or Tall Rico or Graham Platner. This gets
to the fundamental foundation of our political system.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
In America today.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
These people are being chosen, groomed, funded. The package is
handed to the media. What to highlight, what to stay
away from. There's millions of dollars pumped into creating a
glossy ad. This is what our process has become. That
(32:04):
it'd be interesting to know. Do they care what this
person thinks about any issues? And what would be those
few issues that he has to pledge allegiance to the
important thing is to defeat the Republicans with a controllable Democrat.
(32:26):
And they these these three people, they choose him. And
now now you've heard from them, and you wonder why
DC is what it is.
