Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I can hear you.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I'm not going to tell you something. I'm not in
resistance of protecting.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Anybody, and I think that my work over the years
that I've been involved have been absolutely on point in
dealing what has to be dealt with in order to
help the people.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
The first thing you've.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Got to understand is services costs money, and we should
be willing to get the richest people in this country,
the richest one percent that is protected, make sure they
pay their fair taxes so that we can have the
money to provide the services.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
We have a broken tax system that let's Elon Musk
free loaded off everyone else, and it needs to stop.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Usually, if you're a billionaire, that means that you control.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
A massive system.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
It means that you own oil supplies, it means that
you control textiles, it means that you have a massive.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Labor force under your control.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
And to be ethical, if you're a billionaire today, the
thing that you need to do is give up control
and power. So I don't want your money as much
as we want your power.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Rich you're not paying their fair share in any nation
that is facing the kind of employment issues, whether it's
in visual, corporate, whatever the taxation forms are.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
And I go back to the question about Brazil.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Brazil has the highest tax to GDP rate in the
Western hemisphere. And guess what, it's growing like crazy and
the rich are getting richer, but they're pulling people out
of poverty.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Do we want to keep tax cuts for the wealthiest
Americans who don't need them and didn't ask for them,
or do we want to make sure that they're paying
their fair share?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Do we want to.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
Do we want to keep subsidizing big oil or do
we want.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
To make sure we're investing in clean energy.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Do we want to jack up interest rates on millions
of students, or do we want to keep investing in
things that will help us and help them in the
long term, things like education and science and a strong
military and care for our veterans. We can't do both.
We can't have it both ways. We've got to make
a choice about what our priorities up.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Well, let me tell you Donald Trump and is billion
a half friends on.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
The my policy, I'm going to pay a hell of
a lot more in taxes today.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Taxes in the future of that paying today. Well, the
highest profile race in the land last night was the
governor's primary in Wisconsin. The Republican Tiffany, who was expected
to win President Trump's choice, Congressman Tiffany did win with
(03:24):
I think over ninety five percent of the vote. Okay,
not a lot of fireworks there. But you had a
very interesting Democrat primary. You had a traditional black Democrat
who was running, and you had an Asian American self
(03:46):
avowed Democrat Socialist of America candidate named Francesca Hong. And
she was shooting from the hip. And she wants to
cancel Thanksgiving because it should have been canceled in sixteen
to twenty one, and it hurts people's feelings. And she
wants to do away with prisons and cops, and I mean,
(04:07):
she'd redistribute and pay everybody more money. And I mean,
she's really really out there. And the media kept telling
us that that she was going to win. In fact,
the likelihood of her winning the last number I saw
was a ninety six percent likelihood. That means she's got
a pretty good lead, right because you can't know who's
going to show up. But then she didn't win. In fact,
(04:31):
she came very close, which is noteworthy, but it was
thirty nine point eight percent to thirty nine point four percent.
What happened, How did this, how did this happen, and
why did it happen? That's very important to understand. This
is Fox News talking about the fact that the Democrat
(04:53):
establishment did not want her to win because then you
would fire up. See. We have said for year that
the Democrats are crazy and what they want to do
is crazy, and their defense has always been, oh, they're
just saying that Republicans are extremists. No, you're extremists. You're crazy,
(05:13):
and if people could understand what you're up to, most
people would never vote for you. So that's why the
Democrats always that's why they used to have Joe Biden
come out and eat ice cream. Oh, he's eating ice
pepall's eating ice cream. They can't be doing bad things.
They can't be leaving the border open for rapists and
(05:35):
drug traffickers and child traffickers and fentanyl to kill our children.
They can't be taking over the country and committing crimes
and opening the prisons and letting them out. They can't
be doing that. He's eating ice cream. He's a nice fella.
Look at that he's eating ice cream. Oh, and there's Barack.
He's just shooting baskets. Look at him the swagger after
(05:55):
he makes the body. He's such a swagger. And fella
isn't just sweat guy, you know, just like you and me.
You know, he slipped out and had a burger. And
there's Joe, he's eating a nice cream. Look at that.
They're just like And there's Kamala, she's dancing at the concert.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
She did.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Look at her just danceing the Wow, it's such a
h it's just so much fun. They're just like you.
They're not crazy or dangerous or radical or extreme. You
have nothing to worry about. They're just like you. Right.
But then when they started saying what they really want,
once people stopped sugarcoating and started saying, we're communists and
(06:34):
we're gonna site we are. Oh, the people who control
the party, the powerbrokers, they're scared, and so that's why
they had to sabotage Francesca here at the end.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
Fox News, this was not the outcome that many had predicted.
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley beef from Chessca Hank by
less than a percentage point. Establishment Democrats are certainly.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
So raiting this win.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
They were afraid that a Honk victory would essentially hand
the GOP the keys to the governor's mansion. In November,
Honk had faced scrutiney over previous social media posts and
lack the endorsements of prominent progressives like Senator Bernie Sanders
and aoc her narrow loss coming on the heels of
a close race in Michigan, showing that centrist voters still
(07:21):
yields significant influence, especially in swing states. Crowley will now
take on Republican Tom Tiffany in November. But the fallow
up did get a boost in Minnesota, where progressive candidate
Lieutenant Governor Penny Peggy Flanagan being moderate congress of an
Angie Craig to win the Democratic nomination for Senate. Flanagan
was backed by Sanders, and she will face former sports
(07:42):
broadcaster Michelle Tafoya.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
In the general election. But Michael Barry show, I think
Eugene Daniels co hosts a show on MS now what's
their name for it? Now? It's so funny. Natly is
not a conservative by any measure. He is not someone
who has spent his career criticizing the media, coming from
(08:04):
the right. He is a member of the media, and
he is sitting on his own network admitting something that
the people who work in that building have known for
a very long time and chosen not to say out loud.
They don't cover anything on the basis of its real
significance to your life. They want the juiciest story, the
(08:26):
train wreck, the blood, the gore, the crazy, the weird.
Dog bites man, not news man bites dog. It leads
what the voters actually care about. They don't care about that.
It's what crazy story and the crazy it's the carnival barker.
Eugene Daniels MS.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
Now, what do you think this is saying right now
about the electric Let me start with you, Eugene.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I think part of it is.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
I think it's more about us in the in the
in the media that covered these things. Is we chase
often what is what is the juiciest story that we
can tell, what's the clearest story that we can tell
about this election? What's the clearer story we can tell
about this primary? Instead of sometimes just like letting the
voters tell us what it is, what we heard from
what McDuffie on the ground is that like some people,
(09:14):
people weren't interested in Francesca Long to vote for.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Just because someone goes to.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
A rally does not mean they're going to vote for
that person on Tuesday, right, It doesn't mean that they
are going to actually think that person can be electable.
And so we have to do a better job as well.
Think we do great here, and that's like the larger
ecomedia ecosystem and making sure that when we're telling the stories,
we're telling all the stories. It's the exciting part of it.
France as goong because that's oh, out of nowhere. But
then maybe that's not the story of tonight.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
So Republicans in Texas or get annoyed with me, peeved
at me because they show me a poll that says
it Tallafrico is beating Paxton, and I say, I can
show you a poll that showed Beto was beating Cruise.
If we do our jobs and people pay attention, tell
their friends and neighbors, hey, here's who Talafrico is. He's
(10:02):
not the packaged product they're sending to you. Read the label,
read the list of ingredients, realize what you're dealing with
then voters will not vote for that. They won't they
will vote against that, they will vote for Paxton. They
will prevent Talafrico from going to US Senate. That's what
has to happen. Well, the reason these polls come out
(10:28):
is the polls convince weak people, and most people are weak.
Oh well, I might go and vote for that parton
because everybody wants to vote for the winner. Right. I
give an example. In Houston where I left, you never
saw Patriots jerseys. Tom Brady started bringing home the hardware.
All of a sudden there were Patriots fans everywhere. Hey,
(10:49):
I didn't realize you were. I've always been a Patriots fan. Yeah, yeah,
I'm a big Patriots fan. Really what going back to
Steve Grogan, the Ron Meyer years. Wait, what what was
it Tony who was the other quarterback he came in
at the end of Tony Easton? Was it Tony Easton?
Speaker 10 (11:11):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
You go back to those days. You go back to
the old jerseys with the with the guy squaded or
the old pirate looking. Oh okay, all right, you're you're
a Patriots fan from way back in the day. Okay,
Well that's funny because you never wore a jersey when
the Steelers won the Super Bowl. There also these Steelers
fans in Houston. Wait, what, I don't remember you being
a Steelers fan. When when somebody's gonna win, other people
(11:36):
want to be associated with the winning they get, they
get the gold dust on them. But when you're gonna lose,
nobody wants to vote for you. If you're going to lose,
so the polls tell people, oh, you better switch over
and vote there, and then you've got the money people
money people can't afford to be wrong because if you
live off the government, if you have government contracts, and
(11:57):
you need to be with whoever is going to win.
But because that's who's going to vote to continue to
fund your product or your project, you got to get
it right. So when the poll says that X is
going to win, now X gets a bunch more money
from the people who need to win and the people
who want to control the Senate. For instance, if you're
(12:18):
if Tallafrico looks like he's going to win, in money
that would be used in other races will now redirect
to Texas. Because you don't want to put good money
after bad. You don't want to put money into a
state where you're going to lose. So what do you do.
You go, oh, he can win. See the poll shows
he can win. Oh, here comes all the money. Well,
then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. That's why these
polls are important. But Francesca Holm wasn't leading big, That
(12:42):
wasn't true, and I would argue it wasn't an honest
mistake in npolling. It never is. There's a reason for this,
there's a reason for these poles. You me see a
CNN commentator, not a Republican, not a conservative, goal was
on CNN Newsnight and says Francesca Home is a deeply
un serious person. Wait what, she's a deeply unseerious person.
(13:07):
She's just like AOC. Oh that was AOC part one.
AOC has changed now, AOC is moderate. The Overton window
has moved. AOC is the center of the party. Now
that's what they're they're rebranding her. That's why she didn't
get involved in this race. She has to move to
the center. Now they're gearing up for a national campaign
(13:27):
with her. Oh yes, there's a lot going on here.
This is CNN Newsnight with Abbey Philip Boy they're changing
their tune.
Speaker 11 (13:36):
There are people like Francesca Hong who adapted to a
lot of that rhetoric and fully believe it, and she's
leading a campaign with that ask her values. I think
Francesca Hong is a deeply unseerious person. I think we've
all but lost Wisconsin if she wins this primary over
David Crowley. I sincerely hope people in Wisconsin choose differently,
(13:58):
but I.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Need to be clear. I can for her.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
She is a reflection of the way we're laughing now.
But this is the way a lot of people were talking.
White women were apologizing to me about their own whiteness,
and so Francesca Hang saying her proximity to whiteness and
her biracial son makes her uncomfortable.
Speaker 11 (14:14):
Quite frankly, if we take that and put it in
twenty nineteen, it all kind of gels and fits together.
Speaker 10 (14:19):
Which is why it's just so ironic to hear AOC
talk about woke one point oh as if number one
she wasn't a part of it when she obviously was,
and she's trying to rewrite history.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
But Woke two point zero is just as bad.
Speaker 10 (14:29):
They maybe adapted some of the language that they use,
and they've adopted some of the really easy strategic media
moves to say well, no, I've evolved from that position.
The question then becomes for anyone who says Woke one
point zero was crazy?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Was okay? Tell us what specifically?
Speaker 10 (14:44):
Tell us what positions were too far to one side?
Was it the defunding the police? Because you'll still get
the same answer out of a lot of these folks.
They'll just give it in a slightly different way, but
their end result is exactly well, this.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Is the thing, right.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I actually give Francesca Haun a little bit of credit.
I mean, unlike Aos, she's moderated her position on Thanksgiving.
She's really come around and sort of embraced the middle
of the road perspective that Thanksgiving is good and delicious.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
But to AOC, I would ask the question, if Woke
one was crazy, well, which priors did you hold during
Woke one that you no longer subscribe to? Do you
believe that children should not be able to have sex
change operations anymore? Do you believe that biological men should
not be able to participate in women's sports? Do you
disavowed defunding the police? Not prosecuting repeat offenders, the border
(15:32):
policies of the first Bided administration. These are all very
good questions, because I don't haven't heard her change her
mind on any.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Of the world as we know it. To Michael into
the world thoughts to the TV, the Republican Party underwent
a massive transformation, and you know when that happened, Now,
(16:02):
your immediate reaction is going your first guess is going
to be twenty sixteen with Trump. It actually preceded Trump.
Trump was the result of it, and then he took
it to a whole different level. But it actually happened
in twenty ten. What happened was in two thousand and eight,
(16:24):
McCain wins the nomination. McCain had basically dropped out of
the race. He was out of money. Bob Mossbacker, his
finance chairman, who had been the money the money razor
for George H. W. Bush, had gone over to help him,
and McCain had basically backed out of that race, and
(16:47):
so had everybody else. That race in two thousand and
eight was an absolute calamity. It had eight years of
George W. Bush and Republicans were you know, when you
drag people into a war they don't support you, demoralize
the base. This lessons people should learn. And so we
(17:11):
had been in Iraq in Afghanistan, and nobody saw a
way out, and nobody saw why we were there, and
everybody knew somebody who had a kid who'd been killed wounded,
come back with PTSD, committed suicide. And we were spending
(17:32):
a fortune. And I'm sure Dick Cheney and all his
friends at Halliburton got rich, and I'm sure the arms
manufacturers got rich, and I'm sure the think tanks were
filling up their coffers to keep telling us how this
was good for America. We're going to fight them over there,
so we don't fight them over here. But wait a second.
The very Republicans who wanted to go to war, the
(17:54):
Republicans who loved war, the Bush Republicans, they love for
us to go over and fight wars. And they go,
you got I fight them there, or you'll fight them here.
But while you're fighting them there, they bring them in here.
So the husband is off fight him in Afghanistan, and
his wife is back home and they're walking down his
street back in his town in Beaumont or Waco. It
(18:17):
doesn't make sense. And so Republicans had really really turned
off Obama wins, and then he immediately starts in Obamacare
and in twenty ten, in mid two thousand and nine,
there was a movement, a true movement, and very few
(18:39):
things qualify as a movement. They might be a coincidence
on a grand scale. But this was a true movement,
and it didn't have a name yet, and it morphed
into what came to be called the Tea Party. The
beauty of the Tea Party in its early in its
inception was that there wasn't a singular leader. There were
(19:04):
a lot of people claiming to be I'm the leader
of the Tea Party of America. I'm the leader of
the American Tea Party. I'm the leader. And so people
started figuring out real quickly, if I can be the
guy who's quoted on Fox News, I can sell products
to all these people, I can sell memberships, I can
get paid to do so. Everybody started claiming to be
(19:25):
the leader of the Tea Party, and they fight with
each other, but this was a truly grass roots, bottom
up effort. This wasn't the Republican Party, the establishment, any
of that. It came from everywhere America, and so you
started seeing these rallies and I spoke at some of these,
(19:47):
Andrew Breitbarton, I spoke at one in the Woodlands, and
it was organized by just normal people, regular people, non
office holding, non organized having people. It was mostly women,
and it was doers. These were women who were doers
(20:08):
and they would organize these rallies. And so you started
seeing in twenty ten candidates identifying as Tea Party and
buying into this sort of label and this movement, and
it wasn't organized yet and it hadn't been co opted
it co opted yet, and so you saw a lot
(20:30):
of racists where candidates one who called themselves Tea Party.
Freedom Caucus was what it later came to be called
by a lot of people in the US Congress. And
then in twenty twelve it was this movement again, and
there were several people trying to become the Republican candidate
in twenty twelve, who was the Tea Party candidate? Rick
(20:53):
Perry got in and tried, but he just had back surgery.
It wasn't healthy. Rick Santorum was hanging around, you know,
you had these different folks Gingrich tried to get in,
you know, here's a guy that had been, you know,
the sort of maverick leader of the outside Republican forces.
It took over the House in ninety four, but he
had left Congress under a veil of shame and kind
(21:17):
of corruption and book deals. And he's a very thoughtful guy.
He's a historian by nature, he's a good quoter. But
at the end of the day, he wasn't the breath
of fresh air that everybody had hoped. And so you
had these different guys, each trying to be the Tea
Party guy, and the establishment had their one candidate they
(21:40):
had blessed, and they just kept him going, and he
didn't Wednesdays, he'd come in second. He might win one
here when one there, but he just stayed the course
and he racked up enough delegates without anybody actually liking him.
And that was Mett Romney. And then of course here
was Obama, the least popular sitting press running for re
(22:00):
election that we'd seen, and he was highly beatable. But
Romney was the worst candidate ever and the Tea Party
didn't like him. So fast forward to twenty sixteen, you
have almost twenty Republicans running governors of states, well funded candidates,
people with organizations, people would name idea. This was the
most competitive field of Republicans we had ever we had
(22:24):
ever fielded, and that goes back to sixty eight, that
goes back to eighty eight. This was a field and
Trump just absolutely was a juggernaut. And the reason was
Trump was the manifestation of everything tea party before we
used the term maga, which actually had first been used
(22:45):
by Reagan and eighty but Trump was this new movement.
He was the guy who the tea Party got behind,
and not just the tea Party, a lot of people
who didn't consider themselves tea party, but they're disgusted, grossed
out by the process is vulgar, they're sick of it.
And he managed to pull all that together, the Reagan
(23:06):
Coalition and all of it. Well, that transformation occurred in
the Republican Party and then you had the establishment. And
that's where you saw Cornin losing in Texas. That's where
you saw Cassidy losing in Louisiana, Mitch McConnell, who after
forty two years his candidate didn't win in Kentucky, the
Trump endorsed candidate did. So the Republicans have had a
(23:30):
transformation in the party, there's no doubt about that. But
the Democrats, they are where Republicans were in twenty ten.
They now have this energy the socialist communists, that's where
the muscle is in their party, and the establishment can't decide.
They keep saying big tent, big ten, big tent, but
(23:51):
they're secretly working passive, aggressively behind the scenes to kill
off the socialist movement because they want the energy. They
want the foot soldiers, but they don't want them as candidates.
And now you're watching the Black Coalition going, wait a second,
these people are going to replace us, and the Muslims
are going to replace us. So they are in the
middle of a very tumultuous time. And last night's a
(24:12):
great example of you. So let's talk about that Wisconsin,
the gubernatorial race. They put to goober in gubernatorial. But
what we witness there is something the Democrat Party is
working through. Right now. We are a two party state. Okay,
(24:33):
Captain obvious, I got it. Now, Most people people end
up having to choose a candidate in one or the
other party, and the problem is the people who run
the parties, the party stalwarts, are largely out of touch
with the vast bulk of the American populace. The party
(24:57):
primary is what chooses the candidate who will be there
in November, leaving us in many cases with two candidates,
neither one of which most of the populace would say,
I'd like that person representing me. But they came out
of a situation where the average the average person doesn't
(25:18):
vote in a party primary. They don't pay attention until
the fall. So when they wake up and go, all right,
I got a vote for governor, who's there? And in
this primary, because we're very close to the general election,
now you've got a Democrat socialist, communist Francesca Hong against
(25:39):
your old line black Democrat congressman, and the average person says, hmm,
what do they stand for? How do we end up
with these? But one of them is going to represent
the party that's going to get a lot of votes,
the office that's going to get a lot of votes
simply because they have a D after their name. And
(26:00):
then there'll be people in the middle, But there are
fewer and fewer people in the middle who actually vote
because people say, well, both of them are bad, I'm
not going to show up, And that's just that's the
cost of doing business because the parties have been hijacked
by fringe elements within them. So you have this Francesca Holme,
and she's a Democrat, socialist, communist, and she's talking about
(26:23):
stuff like doing away with prison, doing away with cops.
Thanksgiving hurts people's feelings, we should cancel it. And so
that is the muscle, that is the intellectual basis of
the movement on the left. And I'll give you an example.
(26:44):
I won't spend the time I did this morning. If
you've known somebody, and God help you if this was
your kid, because I've seen it. I know a family.
And you see a teenager goes through a period where
they become kind of reticent, they become withdrawn, and maybe
they start listening to Marilyn Manson music, or are they
(27:04):
start there's a character in the Breakfast Club, the girl
who shakes out her dandriff on the on the on
the sheet, and you see the various personality types. And
maybe they start wearing gloves with the fingertips cut off,
or maybe they start wearing all black, or maybe they
start smoking clothes cigarettes, or they get a tattoo at
a young age, or they're, you know, a dude wearing
(27:27):
an eyeliner, and all of a sudden, they're wearing black
trench coats, and they're listening to odd music, and they're
saying odd things, and they're reading odd books, and they're
spending time on odd websites, and they're closing their door
at home and they won't interact with their parents. When
people go through a phase like this, they start all
of a sudden having really strong opinions about really mundane things,
(27:53):
and the fact that you don't get their opinion causes
them to lash out, you know, like we shouldn't do Thanksgiving.
But but son, Bobby, I'm not Bobby anymore. I'm angel Face.
Wait what who but you're Bobby? Now you will call
(28:15):
me by my new name. I am Demon the angel Face.
Wait what what do you do? What? What is going
on with you? You stay hold up in this room.
You were all black and you don't understand me, and
all of a sudden, you don't know what this creature
is and who they are. But none of what they
say should be taken seriously, none of it unless they
(28:35):
say they're gonna go shoot up to school. Yeah, you
got to take that seriously, But what they're really trying
to do is stake out positions that are at odds
with everything else. But but I can't remember who it
was Van Jones Mayby who said on seeing n the
other days, it's like they've they've got an AI generator
of crazy ideas. Well, that's what these DSA candidates do.
(28:58):
They have an AI are crazy ideas? What could be
the next one? Francesca Holk saying we should cancel Thanksgiving
because it gives people stress and it's about oppression. Wait
what you've got? The Democrat nominee for the US Senate,
Abdul Lsi ed in Michigan. I don't know if we
(29:19):
have that quote handy, but he said football is a
bad thing. Football represents slavery. Wait, what tell those slaves
that they've been freed and they're not going to make
ten million dollars a year to run up and down
the field. They got to go get a day job
and see how fast those slaves. Gonah, this ain't slavery.
But who who wants to destroy Thanksgiving and football? I mean,
(29:43):
can you imagine? Can you imagine you're running for governor
in Wisconsin and you're talking about canceling Thanksgiving. You're you're
running for the US Senate in Michigan and you're talking
about football being oppression. That's the Those are the teams
(30:06):
that play football on Thanksgiving. You're talking about the Big House,
the Michigan Wolverines, Bo Schimbeckler, JJ McCarthy, You're talking about
the great history, the New Rockney's, the Ohio State rivalry.
You talk about football, Michigan State, Nick Saban, and you're
(30:32):
you're you're talking about football being like slavery. Where are
these crazy ideas coming from? If someone asked your opinion
and I didn't like your response, that to be one thing.
But these people are coming up with these issues, like
the fifteen year old kid who's wanting to fight with
their parents and the parents are going, what what are
(30:52):
we doing here? How did you decide this is the
issue that you're gonna You're gonna draw a line. And
I didn't even know thanks having whether we had Thanksgiving
was an issue. Thanksgiving is bad now football is bad?
Speaker 7 (31:04):
Now?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Wait? What? Yes? In America's evil, It's always been evil.
You've never even left the city we live in. How
did you come to all these conclusions? So you've got
this sort of crazy democrat socialist of America, funded from outside,
fomenting revolution, fomenting dysfunction, a dystopian future of no prisons
(31:33):
and no cops and no laws and no nothing, and
you won't have homework and you can eat ice cream
every day and there won't be a bedtime. I mean,
they're just making up just crazy fifteen year old ideas,
except they're running for real offices, and it appeals, it
appeals to that fifteen year old I mentioned earlier. That's
(31:55):
going to that phase because now they're thirty and they
used to work at a record store and that have
their hair down in front of their face, and now
they work at Starbucks and you walk in, you go
to order, and you look at them. You can't see
their eyes, and they're angry at you because you're trying
to look through the through the thicket and see if
you can see their eyes. That's who's running, That's who
their supporters are, that's who's showing up at places. That's
(32:18):
these people doing interviews now and offering opinions because they
can't believe that somebody's listening to their opinions. And then
you hear them ask a question, well, if things are
so bad and socialism is so good, where where has
it worked before? As it hasn't been tried properly. It's
not it's such a isn't really God, But it hasn't
been tried properly. And you're thinking, you don't know what
you're talking about, you're insane. But this is the new
(32:43):
coalition that is now challenging the unions, the blacks. So
you've got all these new groups coming in with crazy opinions,
and then you've got the old line Democrats who were
in power, the blacks, the women, the unions, the gays,
and so now you've got to clash, and the beauty
(33:06):
is in a primary. You get to see them battle
it out, and we just get to sit back and go, well,
I guess he's racist. Well I guess he's a transphobic.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I can hear you.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I'm not going to tell you something. I'm not in
resistance of protecting.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Anybody, and I think that my work over the years
that I've been involved have been absolutely on point in
dealing what has to be dealt with in order to
help the people.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
The first thing you've.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Got to understand is services costs money, and we should
be willing to get the richest people in this country,
the richest one percent that is protected, make sure they
pay their fair taxes so that we can have the
money to provide the services.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
We have a broken tax system that let's Elon Musk
free loaded off everyone else, and it needs to stop.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Usually, if you're a billionaire, that means that you control.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
A massive system.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
It means that you own oil supplies, it means that
you control textiles, it means that you have a massive.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Labor force under your control.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
And to be ethical, if you're a billionaire today, the
thing that you need to do is give up control
and power. So I don't want your money as much
as we want your power.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Rich you're not paying their fair share in any nation
that is facing the kind of employment issues, whether it's
in visual, corporate, whatever the taxation forms are.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
And I go back to the question about Brazil.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Brazil has the highest tax to GDP rate in the
Western hemisphere. And guess what, it's growing like crazy and
the rich are getting richer, but they're pulling people out
of poverty.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Do we want to keep tax cuts for the wealthiest
Americans who don't need them and didn't ask for them,
or do we want to make sure that they're paying
their fair share?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Do we want to.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
Do we want to keep subsidizing big oil or do
we want.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
To make sure we're investing in clean energy.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Do we want to jack up interest rates on millions
of students, or do we want to keep investing in
things that will help us and help them in the
long term, things like education and science and a strong
military and care for our veterans. We can't do both.
We can't have it both ways. We've got to make
a choice about what our priorities up.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Well, let me tell you Donald Trump and is billion
a half friends on.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
The my policy, I'm going to pay a hell of
a lot more in taxes today.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Taxes in the future of that paying today. Well, the
highest profile race in the land last night was the
governor's primary in Wisconsin. The Republican Tiffany, who was expected
to win President Trump's choice, Congressman Tiffany did win with
(03:24):
I think over ninety five percent of the vote. Okay,
not a lot of fireworks there. But you had a
very interesting Democrat primary. You had a traditional black Democrat
who was running, and you had an Asian American self
(03:46):
avowed Democrat Socialist of America candidate named Francesca Hong. And
she was shooting from the hip. And she wants to
cancel Thanksgiving because it should have been canceled in sixteen
to twenty one, and it hurts people's feelings. And she
wants to do away with prisons and cops, and I mean,
(04:07):
she'd redistribute and pay everybody more money. And I mean,
she's really really out there. And the media kept telling
us that that she was going to win. In fact,
the likelihood of her winning the last number I saw
was a ninety six percent likelihood. That means she's got
a pretty good lead, right because you can't know who's
going to show up. But then she didn't win. In fact,
(04:31):
she came very close, which is noteworthy, but it was
thirty nine point eight percent to thirty nine point four percent.
What happened, How did this, how did this happen, and
why did it happen? That's very important to understand. This
is Fox News talking about the fact that the Democrat
(04:53):
establishment did not want her to win because then you
would fire up. See. We have said for year that
the Democrats are crazy and what they want to do
is crazy, and their defense has always been, oh, they're
just saying that Republicans are extremists. No, you're extremists. You're crazy,
(05:13):
and if people could understand what you're up to, most
people would never vote for you. So that's why the
Democrats always that's why they used to have Joe Biden
come out and eat ice cream. Oh, he's eating ice
pepall's eating ice cream. They can't be doing bad things.
They can't be leaving the border open for rapists and
(05:35):
drug traffickers and child traffickers and fentanyl to kill our children.
They can't be taking over the country and committing crimes
and opening the prisons and letting them out. They can't
be doing that. He's eating ice cream. He's a nice fella.
Look at that he's eating ice cream. Oh, and there's Barack.
He's just shooting baskets. Look at him the swagger after
(05:55):
he makes the body. He's such a swagger. And fella
isn't just sweat guy, you know, just like you and me.
You know, he slipped out and had a burger. And
there's Joe, he's eating a nice cream. Look at that.
They're just like And there's Kamala, she's dancing at the concert.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
She did.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Look at her just danceing the Wow, it's such a
h it's just so much fun. They're just like you.
They're not crazy or dangerous or radical or extreme. You
have nothing to worry about. They're just like you. Right.
But then when they started saying what they really want,
once people stopped sugarcoating and started saying, we're communists and
(06:34):
we're gonna site we are. Oh, the people who control
the party, the powerbrokers, they're scared, and so that's why
they had to sabotage Francesca here at the end.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
Fox News, this was not the outcome that many had predicted.
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley beef from Chessca Hank by
less than a percentage point. Establishment Democrats are certainly.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
So raiting this win.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
They were afraid that a Honk victory would essentially hand
the GOP the keys to the governor's mansion. In November,
Honk had faced scrutiney over previous social media posts and
lack the endorsements of prominent progressives like Senator Bernie Sanders
and aoc her narrow loss coming on the heels of
a close race in Michigan, showing that centrist voters still
(07:21):
yields significant influence, especially in swing states. Crowley will now
take on Republican Tom Tiffany in November. But the fallow
up did get a boost in Minnesota, where progressive candidate
Lieutenant Governor Penny Peggy Flanagan being moderate congress of an
Angie Craig to win the Democratic nomination for Senate. Flanagan
was backed by Sanders, and she will face former sports
(07:42):
broadcaster Michelle Tafoya.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
In the general election. But Michael Barry show, I think
Eugene Daniels co hosts a show on MS now what's
their name for it? Now? It's so funny. Natly is
not a conservative by any measure. He is not someone
who has spent his career criticizing the media, coming from
(08:04):
the right. He is a member of the media, and
he is sitting on his own network admitting something that
the people who work in that building have known for
a very long time and chosen not to say out loud.
They don't cover anything on the basis of its real
significance to your life. They want the juiciest story, the
(08:26):
train wreck, the blood, the gore, the crazy, the weird.
Dog bites man, not news man bites dog. It leads
what the voters actually care about. They don't care about that.
It's what crazy story and the crazy it's the carnival barker.
Eugene Daniels MS.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
Now, what do you think this is saying right now
about the electric Let me start with you, Eugene.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I think part of it is.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
I think it's more about us in the in the
in the media that covered these things. Is we chase
often what is what is the juiciest story that we
can tell, what's the clearest story that we can tell
about this election? What's the clearer story we can tell
about this primary? Instead of sometimes just like letting the
voters tell us what it is, what we heard from
what McDuffie on the ground is that like some people,
(09:14):
people weren't interested in Francesca Long to vote for.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Just because someone goes to.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
A rally does not mean they're going to vote for
that person on Tuesday, right, It doesn't mean that they
are going to actually think that person can be electable.
And so we have to do a better job as well.
Think we do great here, and that's like the larger
ecomedia ecosystem and making sure that when we're telling the stories,
we're telling all the stories. It's the exciting part of it.
France as goong because that's oh, out of nowhere. But
then maybe that's not the story of tonight.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
So Republicans in Texas or get annoyed with me, peeved
at me because they show me a poll that says
it Tallafrico is beating Paxton, and I say, I can
show you a poll that showed Beto was beating Cruise.
If we do our jobs and people pay attention, tell
their friends and neighbors, hey, here's who Talafrico is. He's
(10:02):
not the packaged product they're sending to you. Read the label,
read the list of ingredients, realize what you're dealing with
then voters will not vote for that. They won't they
will vote against that, they will vote for Paxton. They
will prevent Talafrico from going to US Senate. That's what
has to happen. Well, the reason these polls come out
(10:28):
is the polls convince weak people, and most people are weak.
Oh well, I might go and vote for that parton
because everybody wants to vote for the winner. Right. I
give an example. In Houston where I left, you never
saw Patriots jerseys. Tom Brady started bringing home the hardware.
All of a sudden there were Patriots fans everywhere. Hey,
(10:49):
I didn't realize you were. I've always been a Patriots fan. Yeah, yeah,
I'm a big Patriots fan. Really what going back to
Steve Grogan, the Ron Meyer years. Wait, what what was
it Tony who was the other quarterback he came in
at the end of Tony Easton? Was it Tony Easton?
Speaker 10 (11:11):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
You go back to those days. You go back to
the old jerseys with the with the guy squaded or
the old pirate looking. Oh okay, all right, you're you're
a Patriots fan from way back in the day. Okay,
Well that's funny because you never wore a jersey when
the Steelers won the Super Bowl. There also these Steelers
fans in Houston. Wait, what, I don't remember you being
a Steelers fan. When when somebody's gonna win, other people
(11:36):
want to be associated with the winning they get, they
get the gold dust on them. But when you're gonna lose,
nobody wants to vote for you. If you're going to lose,
so the polls tell people, oh, you better switch over
and vote there, and then you've got the money people
money people can't afford to be wrong because if you
live off the government, if you have government contracts, and
(11:57):
you need to be with whoever is going to win.
But because that's who's going to vote to continue to
fund your product or your project, you got to get
it right. So when the poll says that X is
going to win, now X gets a bunch more money
from the people who need to win and the people
who want to control the Senate. For instance, if you're
(12:18):
if Tallafrico looks like he's going to win, in money
that would be used in other races will now redirect
to Texas. Because you don't want to put good money
after bad. You don't want to put money into a
state where you're going to lose. So what do you do.
You go, oh, he can win. See the poll shows
he can win. Oh, here comes all the money. Well,
then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. That's why these
polls are important. But Francesca Holm wasn't leading big, That
(12:42):
wasn't true, and I would argue it wasn't an honest
mistake in npolling. It never is. There's a reason for this,
there's a reason for these poles. You me see a
CNN commentator, not a Republican, not a conservative, goal was
on CNN Newsnight and says Francesca Home is a deeply
un serious person. Wait what, she's a deeply unseerious person.
(13:07):
She's just like AOC. Oh that was AOC part one.
AOC has changed now, AOC is moderate. The Overton window
has moved. AOC is the center of the party. Now
that's what they're they're rebranding her. That's why she didn't
get involved in this race. She has to move to
the center. Now they're gearing up for a national campaign
(13:27):
with her. Oh yes, there's a lot going on here.
This is CNN Newsnight with Abbey Philip Boy they're changing
their tune.
Speaker 11 (13:36):
There are people like Francesca Hong who adapted to a
lot of that rhetoric and fully believe it, and she's
leading a campaign with that ask her values. I think
Francesca Hong is a deeply unseerious person. I think we've
all but lost Wisconsin if she wins this primary over
David Crowley. I sincerely hope people in Wisconsin choose differently,
(13:58):
but I.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Need to be clear. I can for her.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
She is a reflection of the way we're laughing now.
But this is the way a lot of people were talking.
White women were apologizing to me about their own whiteness,
and so Francesca Hang saying her proximity to whiteness and
her biracial son makes her uncomfortable.
Speaker 11 (14:14):
Quite frankly, if we take that and put it in
twenty nineteen, it all kind of gels and fits together.
Speaker 10 (14:19):
Which is why it's just so ironic to hear AOC
talk about woke one point oh as if number one
she wasn't a part of it when she obviously was,
and she's trying to rewrite history.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
But Woke two point zero is just as bad.
Speaker 10 (14:29):
They maybe adapted some of the language that they use,
and they've adopted some of the really easy strategic media
moves to say well, no, I've evolved from that position.
The question then becomes for anyone who says Woke one
point zero was crazy?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Was okay? Tell us what specifically?
Speaker 10 (14:44):
Tell us what positions were too far to one side?
Was it the defunding the police? Because you'll still get
the same answer out of a lot of these folks.
They'll just give it in a slightly different way, but
their end result is exactly well, this.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Is the thing, right.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I actually give Francesca Haun a little bit of credit.
I mean, unlike Aos, she's moderated her position on Thanksgiving.
She's really come around and sort of embraced the middle
of the road perspective that Thanksgiving is good and delicious.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
But to AOC, I would ask the question, if Woke
one was crazy, well, which priors did you hold during
Woke one that you no longer subscribe to? Do you
believe that children should not be able to have sex
change operations anymore? Do you believe that biological men should
not be able to participate in women's sports? Do you
disavowed defunding the police? Not prosecuting repeat offenders, the border
(15:32):
policies of the first Bided administration. These are all very
good questions, because I don't haven't heard her change her
mind on any.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Of the world as we know it. To Michael into
the world thoughts to the TV, the Republican Party underwent
a massive transformation, and you know when that happened, Now,
(16:02):
your immediate reaction is going your first guess is going
to be twenty sixteen with Trump. It actually preceded Trump.
Trump was the result of it, and then he took
it to a whole different level. But it actually happened
in twenty ten. What happened was in two thousand and eight,
(16:24):
McCain wins the nomination. McCain had basically dropped out of
the race. He was out of money. Bob Mossbacker, his
finance chairman, who had been the money the money razor
for George H. W. Bush, had gone over to help him,
and McCain had basically backed out of that race, and
(16:47):
so had everybody else. That race in two thousand and
eight was an absolute calamity. It had eight years of
George W. Bush and Republicans were you know, when you
drag people into a war they don't support you, demoralize
the base. This lessons people should learn. And so we
(17:11):
had been in Iraq in Afghanistan, and nobody saw a
way out, and nobody saw why we were there, and
everybody knew somebody who had a kid who'd been killed wounded,
come back with PTSD, committed suicide. And we were spending
(17:32):
a fortune. And I'm sure Dick Cheney and all his
friends at Halliburton got rich, and I'm sure the arms
manufacturers got rich, and I'm sure the think tanks were
filling up their coffers to keep telling us how this
was good for America. We're going to fight them over there,
so we don't fight them over here. But wait a second.
The very Republicans who wanted to go to war, the
(17:54):
Republicans who loved war, the Bush Republicans, they love for
us to go over and fight wars. And they go,
you got I fight them there, or you'll fight them here.
But while you're fighting them there, they bring them in here.
So the husband is off fight him in Afghanistan, and
his wife is back home and they're walking down his
street back in his town in Beaumont or Waco. It
(18:17):
doesn't make sense. And so Republicans had really really turned
off Obama wins, and then he immediately starts in Obamacare
and in twenty ten, in mid two thousand and nine,
there was a movement, a true movement, and very few
(18:39):
things qualify as a movement. They might be a coincidence
on a grand scale. But this was a true movement,
and it didn't have a name yet, and it morphed
into what came to be called the Tea Party. The
beauty of the Tea Party in its early in its
inception was that there wasn't a singular leader. There were
(19:04):
a lot of people claiming to be I'm the leader
of the Tea Party of America. I'm the leader of
the American Tea Party. I'm the leader. And so people
started figuring out real quickly, if I can be the
guy who's quoted on Fox News, I can sell products
to all these people, I can sell memberships, I can
get paid to do so. Everybody started claiming to be
(19:25):
the leader of the Tea Party, and they fight with
each other, but this was a truly grass roots, bottom
up effort. This wasn't the Republican Party, the establishment, any
of that. It came from everywhere America, and so you
started seeing these rallies and I spoke at some of these,
(19:47):
Andrew Breitbarton, I spoke at one in the Woodlands, and
it was organized by just normal people, regular people, non
office holding, non organized having people. It was mostly women,
and it was doers. These were women who were doers
(20:08):
and they would organize these rallies. And so you started
seeing in twenty ten candidates identifying as Tea Party and
buying into this sort of label and this movement, and
it wasn't organized yet and it hadn't been co opted
it co opted yet, and so you saw a lot
(20:30):
of racists where candidates one who called themselves Tea Party.
Freedom Caucus was what it later came to be called
by a lot of people in the US Congress. And
then in twenty twelve it was this movement again, and
there were several people trying to become the Republican candidate
in twenty twelve, who was the Tea Party candidate? Rick
(20:53):
Perry got in and tried, but he just had back surgery.
It wasn't healthy. Rick Santorum was hanging around, you know,
you had these different folks Gingrich tried to get in,
you know, here's a guy that had been, you know,
the sort of maverick leader of the outside Republican forces.
It took over the House in ninety four, but he
had left Congress under a veil of shame and kind
(21:17):
of corruption and book deals. And he's a very thoughtful guy.
He's a historian by nature, he's a good quoter. But
at the end of the day, he wasn't the breath
of fresh air that everybody had hoped. And so you
had these different guys, each trying to be the Tea
Party guy, and the establishment had their one candidate they
(21:40):
had blessed, and they just kept him going, and he
didn't Wednesdays, he'd come in second. He might win one
here when one there, but he just stayed the course
and he racked up enough delegates without anybody actually liking him.
And that was Mett Romney. And then of course here
was Obama, the least popular sitting press running for re
(22:00):
election that we'd seen, and he was highly beatable. But
Romney was the worst candidate ever and the Tea Party
didn't like him. So fast forward to twenty sixteen, you
have almost twenty Republicans running governors of states, well funded candidates,
people with organizations, people would name idea. This was the
most competitive field of Republicans we had ever we had
(22:24):
ever fielded, and that goes back to sixty eight, that
goes back to eighty eight. This was a field and
Trump just absolutely was a juggernaut. And the reason was
Trump was the manifestation of everything tea party before we
used the term maga, which actually had first been used
(22:45):
by Reagan and eighty but Trump was this new movement.
He was the guy who the tea Party got behind,
and not just the tea Party, a lot of people
who didn't consider themselves tea party, but they're disgusted, grossed
out by the process is vulgar, they're sick of it.
And he managed to pull all that together, the Reagan
(23:06):
Coalition and all of it. Well, that transformation occurred in
the Republican Party and then you had the establishment. And
that's where you saw Cornin losing in Texas. That's where
you saw Cassidy losing in Louisiana, Mitch McConnell, who after
forty two years his candidate didn't win in Kentucky, the
Trump endorsed candidate did. So the Republicans have had a
(23:30):
transformation in the party, there's no doubt about that. But
the Democrats, they are where Republicans were in twenty ten.
They now have this energy the socialist communists, that's where
the muscle is in their party, and the establishment can't decide.
They keep saying big tent, big ten, big tent, but
(23:51):
they're secretly working passive, aggressively behind the scenes to kill
off the socialist movement because they want the energy. They
want the foot soldiers, but they don't want them as candidates.
And now you're watching the Black Coalition going, wait a second,
these people are going to replace us, and the Muslims
are going to replace us. So they are in the
middle of a very tumultuous time. And last night's a
(24:12):
great example of you. So let's talk about that Wisconsin,
the gubernatorial race. They put to goober in gubernatorial. But
what we witness there is something the Democrat Party is
working through. Right now. We are a two party state. Okay,
(24:33):
Captain obvious, I got it. Now, Most people people end
up having to choose a candidate in one or the
other party, and the problem is the people who run
the parties, the party stalwarts, are largely out of touch
with the vast bulk of the American populace. The party
(24:57):
primary is what chooses the candidate who will be there
in November, leaving us in many cases with two candidates,
neither one of which most of the populace would say,
I'd like that person representing me. But they came out
of a situation where the average the average person doesn't
(25:18):
vote in a party primary. They don't pay attention until
the fall. So when they wake up and go, all right,
I got a vote for governor, who's there? And in
this primary, because we're very close to the general election,
now you've got a Democrat socialist, communist Francesca Hong against
(25:39):
your old line black Democrat congressman, and the average person says, hmm,
what do they stand for? How do we end up
with these? But one of them is going to represent
the party that's going to get a lot of votes,
the office that's going to get a lot of votes
simply because they have a D after their name. And
(26:00):
then there'll be people in the middle, But there are
fewer and fewer people in the middle who actually vote
because people say, well, both of them are bad, I'm
not going to show up, And that's just that's the
cost of doing business because the parties have been hijacked
by fringe elements within them. So you have this Francesca Holme,
and she's a Democrat, socialist, communist, and she's talking about
(26:23):
stuff like doing away with prison, doing away with cops.
Thanksgiving hurts people's feelings, we should cancel it. And so
that is the muscle, that is the intellectual basis of
the movement on the left. And I'll give you an example.
(26:44):
I won't spend the time I did this morning. If
you've known somebody, and God help you if this was
your kid, because I've seen it. I know a family.
And you see a teenager goes through a period where
they become kind of reticent, they become withdrawn, and maybe
they start listening to Marilyn Manson music, or are they
(27:04):
start there's a character in the Breakfast Club, the girl
who shakes out her dandriff on the on the on
the sheet, and you see the various personality types. And
maybe they start wearing gloves with the fingertips cut off,
or maybe they start wearing all black, or maybe they
start smoking clothes cigarettes, or they get a tattoo at
a young age, or they're, you know, a dude wearing
(27:27):
an eyeliner, and all of a sudden, they're wearing black
trench coats, and they're listening to odd music, and they're
saying odd things, and they're reading odd books, and they're
spending time on odd websites, and they're closing their door
at home and they won't interact with their parents. When
people go through a phase like this, they start all
of a sudden having really strong opinions about really mundane things,
(27:53):
and the fact that you don't get their opinion causes
them to lash out, you know, like we shouldn't do Thanksgiving.
But but son, Bobby, I'm not Bobby anymore. I'm angel Face.
Wait what who but you're Bobby? Now you will call
(28:15):
me by my new name. I am Demon the angel Face.
Wait what what do you do? What? What is going
on with you? You stay hold up in this room.
You were all black and you don't understand me, and
all of a sudden, you don't know what this creature
is and who they are. But none of what they
say should be taken seriously, none of it unless they
(28:35):
say they're gonna go shoot up to school. Yeah, you
got to take that seriously, But what they're really trying
to do is stake out positions that are at odds
with everything else. But but I can't remember who it
was Van Jones Mayby who said on seeing n the
other days, it's like they've they've got an AI generator
of crazy ideas. Well, that's what these DSA candidates do.
(28:58):
They have an AI are crazy ideas? What could be
the next one? Francesca Holk saying we should cancel Thanksgiving
because it gives people stress and it's about oppression. Wait
what you've got? The Democrat nominee for the US Senate,
Abdul Lsi ed in Michigan. I don't know if we
(29:19):
have that quote handy, but he said football is a
bad thing. Football represents slavery. Wait, what tell those slaves
that they've been freed and they're not going to make
ten million dollars a year to run up and down
the field. They got to go get a day job
and see how fast those slaves. Gonah, this ain't slavery.
But who who wants to destroy Thanksgiving and football? I mean,
(29:43):
can you imagine? Can you imagine you're running for governor
in Wisconsin and you're talking about canceling Thanksgiving. You're you're
running for the US Senate in Michigan and you're talking
about football being oppression. That's the Those are the teams
(30:06):
that play football on Thanksgiving. You're talking about the Big House,
the Michigan Wolverines, Bo Schimbeckler, JJ McCarthy, You're talking about
the great history, the New Rockney's, the Ohio State rivalry.
You talk about football, Michigan State, Nick Saban, and you're
(30:32):
you're you're talking about football being like slavery. Where are
these crazy ideas coming from? If someone asked your opinion
and I didn't like your response, that to be one thing.
But these people are coming up with these issues, like
the fifteen year old kid who's wanting to fight with
their parents and the parents are going, what what are
(30:52):
we doing here? How did you decide this is the
issue that you're gonna You're gonna draw a line. And
I didn't even know thanks having whether we had Thanksgiving
was an issue. Thanksgiving is bad now football is bad?
Speaker 7 (31:04):
Now?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Wait? What? Yes? In America's evil, It's always been evil.
You've never even left the city we live in. How
did you come to all these conclusions? So you've got
this sort of crazy democrat socialist of America, funded from outside,
fomenting revolution, fomenting dysfunction, a dystopian future of no prisons
(31:33):
and no cops and no laws and no nothing, and
you won't have homework and you can eat ice cream
every day and there won't be a bedtime. I mean,
they're just making up just crazy fifteen year old ideas,
except they're running for real offices, and it appeals, it
appeals to that fifteen year old I mentioned earlier. That's
(31:55):
going to that phase because now they're thirty and they
used to work at a record store and that have
their hair down in front of their face, and now
they work at Starbucks and you walk in, you go
to order, and you look at them. You can't see
their eyes, and they're angry at you because you're trying
to look through the through the thicket and see if
you can see their eyes. That's who's running, That's who
their supporters are, that's who's showing up at places. That's
(32:18):
these people doing interviews now and offering opinions because they
can't believe that somebody's listening to their opinions. And then
you hear them ask a question, well, if things are
so bad and socialism is so good, where where has
it worked before? As it hasn't been tried properly. It's
not it's such a isn't really God, But it hasn't
been tried properly. And you're thinking, you don't know what
you're talking about, you're insane. But this is the new
(32:43):
coalition that is now challenging the unions, the blacks. So
you've got all these new groups coming in with crazy opinions,
and then you've got the old line Democrats who were
in power, the blacks, the women, the unions, the gays,
and so now you've got to clash, and the beauty
(33:06):
is in a primary. You get to see them battle
it out, and we just get to sit back and go, well,
I guess he's racist. Well I guess he's a transphobic.
