Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very Show is on the air. My Republican colleagues,
do not trust women. You don't trust women? Do you
all ever talk to women? They deserve better? Trust women,
My friends trust women. They will get it right.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
It was a nay where him and I were texting
back and forth and he had taken something that I
said as an invitation and that's not how I meant it.
And I quickly clarified, and he sent a message back
indicating that he would come over, and I said, no,
don't come over, Like I'm not in the mood, don't
come over. And I was more sterned with that message.

(00:48):
And then I didn't hear back from him, so I
thought that that meant he got the message or gave
up on it or whatnot. Like half an hour later,
I heard a noise outside my door and then he
he came in, and I realized, Okay, he didn't listen.
He's in my home and I was laying on the couch.
It was probably pretty late at night, and I was

(01:09):
getting I was already ready for bed. I just wasn't
in dead, and so he had kind of like jumped
on top of me and indicated that he had intentions
that were sexual in nature. And I remember just at
first being like, hey, I'm not into this, like don't
I'm not in the mood like don't go whatever. And

(01:31):
it got to the point where I was like, I
feel like I've said this enough times, like he's not
listening to me or he's not hearing me. And I
looked at him and I remember this very specific look
in his eyes and I could smell alcohol, and I
was like, this is different. He is heavily intoxicated, like

(01:52):
and that blank stare was kind of like a photographic
memory that I still have of that night, and that
was me recognizing what the situation was. And this wasn't
just like, oh, hey, somebody showed up and I'm gonna
time go home, like she was heavily intoxicated, had intentions
with me, and what it wasn't less.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I said, Now, well, of course, with the Senate as
close as it is, every Senate race matters, and we will,
of course talk about the Senate race in the state
of Maine. As part of the compromise that brought together
our government, the lower house of our legislative branch known

(02:32):
as the Congress, although they're both the Congress, but the
Congress is actually made of the House of Representatives, the
lower house, and the Senate the upper house. The House
of Representatives is four hundred and thirty five elected officials
based purely on population, So the state of Texas could

(02:55):
have twenty representatives one year and thirty the next. The
four point thirty five is regulated, but California can gain
or lose, New York can gain, or every state can
gain or lose. But the Senate in order to get
the smaller states in and not be dominated by the
larger states and the population of the larger states, each

(03:18):
state in the higher house, the upper house, the Senate
gets two representatives to senators. So Vermont and Rhode Island
and Maine, little tiny states, they get the same amount
of representation as Texas, Florida, California, New York, the big states.

(03:39):
Well pause for a second. Oh yeah, this is why
the Senate race in Maine matters so much. This is
why the race in Texas matters so much. One vote
in the Senate, one race, and you're there for six years.
You can't get that wrong. That's why you cannot get

(04:01):
these elections wrong. You cannot let the Democrats convince you
we'll vote for this guy because he's the same skin
color as you, or vote for her because she's also
a girl, y'all have the same reproduction, or vote for
this person for reasons other than the vote they will
cast as a senator. But even more powerful is the

(04:23):
chief executive of a state, the governor. So there was
a story in the news. I'm going to start with.
You might not have heard about it yet, and it
hasn't made the news to the extent that it probably should.
And that is that Andrew Gillim was taken into custody
a couple of days ago in Daphne, Alabama and booked

(04:46):
into the county jail for a number of charges. Okay,
do you remember the name Andrew Gillim? Some of you will,
the real political junkie will. Andrew Gillim was the mayor
of Tallahassee, Florida. Turns out he was involved in a

(05:07):
lot of scandals while he was the mayor of Tallahassee, Florida.
But in twenty eighteen he won the Democrat nomination to
run for governor of Florida, and it was a big
prize for Florida to put a Democrat back in office.
Andrew Gillum was black. He had a good story, and
they told that story, and Gillim got within thirty four

(05:31):
thousand votes of winning the governor's race in Florida. That
is point four percent, less than half of one percent
of the vote. He barely lost. It's one of the
closest gubernatorial race results in American history. Gillim was within

(05:57):
a whisker of being the governor. Of course, Ron de
Santists won and things proceeded from there. But that's not
what makes this interesting. What makes this interesting is what
we then learned about Gillim. He would be indicted on
twenty one felon accounts wirefraud, conspiracy, making false statements. And

(06:21):
then there was, of course that moment where the fella
died and he was in the hotel room with him,
and when they discovered Gillim, he was allegedly buttnked, laid out,
and drugs all over the floor, and nobody knows how
the fellow has died. Gilliam now has been arrested again.

(06:48):
If Gillim wins that race in twenty eighteen, turns out
he's a really bad guy. We've learned that since that's
what the Democrats do, they put up really bad guys.
He would have been the main he would have been
the governor during COVID. Florida would not have been the
example of freedom. Florida would have been a lockdown state.

(07:13):
Florida would not have been the high water mark for
states to say, like we did in Texas, Hey Abbott,
do what Desantus is doing. That would have been a
lockdown state. It would have been as bad as New York,
and this country would have taken a very different direction.
But for a handful of votes, it matters, folks, it matters.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Chuck Norris is the only person who can slam a
revolving bud if Chuck Norris can eat just one lady's
potato chip.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
So there's an interesting thing about the Monkeys, whether they
were a real, authentic, legitimate band, And I think most
people would say no, they really weren't. They were just
thrown together for TV. And there are some other examples
of this. But it really gets to a more philosophical,

(08:10):
fundamental question, and that is what is reality? What is
authentic reality? So a funny thing happened to me the
other day. My niece and her husband, who we are
very close with. The have two little kids as well.

(08:33):
They had a tree in their front yard, the only
tree in their front yard. That the tree snapped, and
it snapped at about seven feet high with a heavy
wind and leaving them a stump. So the question when

(08:58):
the tree is presumably dead, and I think they had
come to the conclusion it was the question was do
you just grind the stump up? Nothing really grows there.
You're left with kind of a gaping hole. And here
was this tree that gave them shade that anchored the
front yard. It would have been planted years ago by

(09:21):
the homeowner to give some beauty to this home. Houston's
really hot, so trees are unusually important to us because
you want some shade, you want some shade on your home,
you want shade to get under there. And so you know,
it's a bummer they've lost this tree. They were very
fond of this tree. So they hired somebody to come

(09:44):
in and carved this tree into a work of art.
And they had the most beautiful rose drawn or carved
out of this tree stump seven tall, and so now
it looked like they had just glorious yard art, which

(10:06):
in effect they do. But the reason I tell you
that's tell you this. When my niece sent us the
pictures of the stump, she also sent a picture of
the rose, but it was an AI version of the
rose that she had created to give to the chainsaw

(10:27):
artist to know what she wanted the rose to look
like that she carved. The problem was the rose art
that she sent her looked so real. In me, being
a paupaw, I don't know, so I posted it. I said,

(10:49):
look at this. My niece and her husband got lemons,
they made lemonade. Look at this beautiful art. Well, people
started posting that's not the same tree. Because a lot
of people, for whatever reason, and I won't I won't
get into their motives, are so worried that something is

(11:13):
not real it is artificial that they will study the
details and eventually AI artificial intelligence will be able to
replicate things. So well, because it's in its infancy now
you can you can, I guess, if you, if you
look hard enough, you can catch things. So apparently the

(11:34):
size of the stump at the base was a different
size than the stump that that the original stump in
its raw form, as opposed to its carved up for them.
So there were several people that's say, that's not the
same tree. I don't know that it matters. But my
niece said that someone had contacted her about it. And

(11:56):
when I replace the photo of the actual tree as
it was carved and replace the AI and I said, sweetheart,
I don't know how to do that. I just posted
the pictures in a nice statement and a lot of
people liked it. Does it matter? And she said, well,
they're pointing out that's that's AI and I don't think
that's a good thing. And well, I don't care. I

(12:19):
really don't care. Because the AI version, the art that
ended up was so close to the AI version. I
didn't know that it mattered. But so then I replace.
I figured out how to do that on Facebook. I'm
not very technical, but it raises I don't know if

(12:39):
it's an ethical question, it's a philosophical question, and it's
a question we're going to have to grapple with as
a society as to what is reality. I don't know
why people create fake things and put them out into
the public sphere that then the public reacts to and

(13:03):
then someone points out that's not true, or more importantly,
I don't know why it matters. And I'll give an example.
If someone posts the story of a dog that's under
attack by other dogs in the pound or in the kennel,

(13:24):
and a dog that's kind of the toughest dog in
the kennel goes up and finds off the other dogs
and then cuddles up to that dog, and you feel
warm fuzzies over what has just happened. Does it matter
whether that really happened or it's ai because such things

(13:50):
do happen. It's not unrealistic. The emotion you felt, is
it tied to the fact that you need to know
that that exact same thing happened, that that thing happened
and was recorded as opposed to generally a kindness occurred.

(14:13):
I don't know. We don't want our president out you
know a video of here's his speech and it's not him,
although they did do that with Biden. There were doubles
and they did send them out there, and that's happened
a lot in history. That's what the Monkeys represent? Or are
they a real band? Because if I say, oh, I
like the Monkeys, I like their music, people will say
to me they're not a real band. When I hear

(14:37):
the music, I enjoy the music. Do I need to
know that they were necessarily an authentic band out of
a garage? No, I don't, but I guess some people do. Unfortunately,
this is something that as a society is with us
and will only get worse as AI gets back.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Is actually hiding from Chuck Norris with the Michael Ferry.
Chuck Norris uses pepper spray to season his meat.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Democrats will stop at nothing to win the seats that
give them the votes to control the United States Senate.
They will look aside from every aspect of Tall Rico.
They will lie sheet Steele. They will claim he's something
he's not. They will claim things he has said he

(15:29):
didn't say. They will stop at nothing, nothing to win
the seat that gets to vote. And I have told
people this day in and day out, I'm not sure
who I'm will vote for. Kim Paxton is imperfect. He
and his wife, you know, they had a divorce. I

(15:52):
don't know. I might vote for the other fella. Okay,
it's a six year term. Two four or five years
from now, will have a major issue that you hope
the Senate will vote down. Tall Rico is going to
vote for every Obama proposal, every Biden proposal, every Hukkeem Jeffries,
every Chuck Schumer, every AOC. He's going to vote with him.

(16:17):
This is not a question of who you want to
date your daughter or live next door or be your friend.
This is who do you want to cast a vote?
Do you want to vote? Cast for Trump? Do you
want to vote cast for Barack Obama? Because that's the
only thing that person's going to do. You're not trying
to create an inspiration. You're not trying to create a
model for a perfect marriage, whatever that is. That's not

(16:41):
what you're going for. You're putting someone in a job.
You don't ask someone when they're going to be the
quarterback of your football team, if their marriage is working out,
or if it's on the rocks. You want to know,
can they read defenses? Can they throw the football right?
Understand the assignment? This is why democracy or a Democrat

(17:03):
republic is so difficult, is that people get caught up
in well, I want fairness and I want these to
be nice for everybody. I want fairness and goodness, and
sometimes things cost lot. I just I feel like a
democrat'll be nice. They'll nice you into Obamacare, they'll nice

(17:24):
you into the Green New Deal. They'll nice you into
losing your job. If you don't take the job, that'll
kill you. So before you hear from I think it's Rasakott,
I'm not sure how to pronounce her last name, the
woman who now says that Platina raped her, and even
the Democrats are siding with her. And the reason is
they want him out, just like Swawell. He's the candidate

(17:47):
until the moment that they realize we can't win with him.
So now they all turn and go. He's got to
go because they're going to replace him with a better candidate.
Before you hear from her, you need to hear from
the New York Times, because before Democrats decided to back
Graham Platner for Senate in Maine anyway, they needed someone

(18:07):
credible to come on TV and explain why this was different.
While these particular accusations were not the kind that you
had to take seriously, you don't have to believe all
women all the time, Jody Cantor of The Times, reporter
who helped break the Harvey Weinstein story, obliged these were

(18:27):
mostly consensual relationships she said, not boss and employee, not
classic me too. Here's the moment.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Well, let's talk about what they may or may not
be willing to overlook. The accusations against Graham Platner are
not classic me too accusations. They're not about a boss
and a young female employee being subjected to sexual advances.
They were mostly made in the context of consensual relationships.

(18:57):
There are these very sensational texts about sex. There are
allegations from former girlfriends that are not the way my
colleagues reported them. Were not like classic abuse allegations. They
were mostly like being his boyfriend gave me a view
into him, and I did not like what I saw.

(19:18):
His character was scary, he had this Nazi tattoo, et cetera.
There was one allegation of crossing a line physically, but
I think that means that these are pretty different accusations than, say,
the one that the ones that President Trump faced, And
of course, in the Access Hollywood tape, President Trump bragged
about grabbing women against their will, and so I think

(19:42):
it speaks to the kind of confusion of the long
post me to moment in which like gender related accusations
get bundled together. But they're actually very different.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Anytime someone talks with that uptalk and they're trying to
say things that don't make any sense, because that's how
they talk. Whenever they're defending something that is indefensible, you
will notice that they always have that same exact way

(20:16):
of talking. But guess what, this was a typical me too.
The dude, by their definition, raped her here she is.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
It was a nay where him and I were texting
back and forth and he had taken something that I
said as an imitation and.

Speaker 5 (20:37):
That's not how I meant it.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
And I quickly clarified, and he sent a message back
indicating that he would come over, and I said, no,
don't come over, Like I'm not in the mood, don't
come over. And I was more sterned with that message.
And then I didn't hear back from him, So I
thought that that meant he got the message or gave
up on it or whatnot.

Speaker 5 (20:57):
And so.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Like half an hour later I heard a noise outside
my door and then he came in.

Speaker 5 (21:06):
He just came into my house. It was unlocked.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
I live in an area where you don't usually have
to lock your doors.

Speaker 5 (21:11):
I do now, So.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
He came in and I realized, Okay, he didn't listen.
He's in my home and I was laying.

Speaker 5 (21:19):
On the couch.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
It was probably pretty late at night, and I was
getting I was already ready for bed, I just wasn't.

Speaker 5 (21:24):
In bed, and.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
So he had kind of like jumped on top of
me and indicated that he had intentions that were sexual
in nature. And I remember just at first being like, hey,
I'm not into this, like I'm not in the mood.

Speaker 5 (21:41):
Like don't go whatever.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
And it got to the point where I was like, Okay,
I feel like I've said this enough times, like he's
not listening to me or he's not hearing me. And
I looked at him and I remember this very specific
look in his eyes and I could smell out, and
I was like, this is different.

Speaker 5 (22:02):
He is heavily intoxicated.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
And that blank stare was kind of like a photographic
memory that I still have of that night and his
that was me recognizing what the situation was. And this
wasn't just like, oh, hey, somebody showed up and I'm
gonna tell him go home, Like he was heavily intoxicated,

(22:27):
had intentions with me, and was listening that.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
I said no, I've said it before, I'll say it again.
This is a classic example. Graham Platner's politics are whack.
Graham Platner could be in favor of taking every penny
that's in your bank account and confiscating it for the

(22:52):
sake of the government. He could be in favor of
another round of booster shots for Codd without any scientific proof.
He could be in favor of wide open borders. None
of those are disqualifying positions. The only thing that can

(23:13):
disqualify a politician in the United States is a sex game.
That's the only thing anybody will ever pay attention to.
You didn't mind him being a socialist, You didn't mind
his open embrace of Nazism, tattoos, language, writings, meetings, the

(23:34):
whole thing. None of that matter. But let him have
an inappropriate series of relationships. And now, okay, yeah, he's
got to go. We'll replaced Michael Bay good show on Bablum.
All right, I'm going to rush through these because this
is a great example of a takedown by the Democrat

(23:56):
Party of one of their own. Because he's no longer used.
All right, so at this point they haven't pushed him
out yet, but they've I think they've probably set up
for the accuser to be on CNN with Jake Tapper,
and they're setting up this is not just him going
a little far. This is not him having an affair.
This is an all out rape six oh three, and

(24:19):
you were saying no, don't, no, don't over and over.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
I remember, you know, obviously I've had to recall a
lot of this.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
This is something that I tried.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
For many years to forget, and so small details.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
You know, might get past me.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
But yes, I remember very specifically saying I'm not into this.
In my message. Previously, I had told him I had
had an old back injury, and I remember saying like.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
I'm not in this. I've had a long day and
my back hurts.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Like like I was in that kind of mood, like
to leave me alone mood.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
And there was a little bit of like uh full
like altercation.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
The house that I live in has like this antique
sewing kit that I kept beside the cat.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Right, so let's let's move forward because I want to
get all these in. The sewing kit falls over throat,
it goes everywhere. That's when she realizes this guy's gotten violent. Okay,
we're setting this up. They need him out, and they
can't drag this out. They only have five or six
days to get him out of the Democrat slot and

(25:28):
replace him. So now they're attacking him in a way
far stronger than the Republicans are they continue. I think
you said that, I.

Speaker 6 (25:37):
Just want to find out more. You say he was.
He was forcing himself on you. It was getting violent.
You were pushing him off, you were kicking him off,
needles and sewing, the equipment was falling all over. And

(25:57):
walk us through the process where you decided that the
safest thing you could.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Do was just let him rape view.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yeah, I had never been in that situation before, and
I realized. I remember it being an instant where I
had recognized that he wasn't listening to me.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
It wasn't just that he wasn't hearing me or whatnot.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
And then I recognized his level of intoxication, and I
knew in that moment I wasn't safe, and I don't
think I was. I don't think I was safe to
physically fight back.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
He's big, he's strong.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
All right, Let's keep moving on. Now we have established
these are all setting in place. The elements she fears
for her safety. He is violent, this is rape because
you have to get past some people's unwillingness to see
this as rape if they had a previously consensual relationship. Okay,

(27:05):
So next you go to the next to the point
where okay, but even if he raped you, Democrats want
to win this seat so badly, some of them are
still going to vote for him. What do you say
to those people? Six seventeen.

Speaker 6 (27:24):
There are going to be Democrats who say, I believe you, but.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
I don't care.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, I'm going.

Speaker 6 (27:32):
To vote from anyway because we need a progressive voice.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
In the United States Senate. Are you gonna be okay
with that? Are you gonna be able to handle that?

Speaker 6 (27:41):
I'm not saying it's the right answer or the right response, but.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
No, I have friends who feel that way, and that's
been a hard.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
Pill to swallow.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
And I guess I need to not ask potentially, I
mean I need to not ask in order to not
care what they do.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
I understand. I understand that.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
The state of our political environment is so much so
that we need a lot of change, and he's offering
that change. And you know, I'm not mad at anyone
who has voted for him all along. If he wasn't
who he was, I would be voting for him as well.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
There you go straight there. So what we're saying is
the movement is bigger than justice for this individual. Even
she understands if I have to be sacrificed so that
we win a sit at seat. Here is Graham Platner.
Here is Graham Platner's denial. But notice he doesn't say

(28:44):
he was he wasn't there.

Speaker 7 (28:51):
Thorohner wanted to directly address the troubling, serious and false
allegations against me. Any accusation of not consensual behavior is
categorically false. Over the last ten months, I've been deeply
humbled by the faith Manners have put in me. You
have welcomed me into your homes and into your places

(29:12):
of work, into your restaurants and your houses of worship.
You have shown that a different kind of politics, one
that puts the interest of people over corporations, is not
just possible, but is it.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Wait a minute, this movement we have built, this sounds
exactly like Eric Swaalwell's denials just a few months ago.
Eric Swalwell did his little look into the camera and
tell you, oh, it's almost as if the same guy

(29:47):
wrote all of this. So there's a character named May's
m Aze on Twitter and he put together a mashup
of Eric Swalwell and Graham Platner. It means lay them
together so that you could both of them denying the
sexual allegations. Different men, different states, different exact same words,

(30:14):
same cadence, almost word for word. There is a format
for this, there is a template. There are professionals who
write this stuff. This is not natural. There are professionals
putting these words in front of them, and they are
reading them after they are coached as to how you

(30:37):
read them. It is all performative theater. Listen to the
two of them laid over the top of each other.

Speaker 8 (30:44):
A lot has been said about me today through anonymous allegations.
I thought it was important that you see and hear
from me directly. I wanted to directly address the troubling,
serious and false allegations against me. These allegations of sexual
assault false.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
They're absolutely false.

Speaker 7 (31:02):
Any accusation of non consensual behavior is categorically false.

Speaker 8 (31:07):
They also come on the eve of an election where
I have been the frontliner candidate for governor in Califuna.

Speaker 7 (31:13):
Regardless of the can accuracy of the reporting. It's a
mindful of political reality will inflict.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
And You're not suggesting to you.

Speaker 8 (31:20):
In any way that I'm perfect or that I'm a sink.
I've been deeply humbled. Why the faith may or site
put me. I think you know who I am. For
over twenty years I have served the public.

Speaker 7 (31:32):
You have welcomed me into your homes, into your places
at work, into your restaurants, into your.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Houses of worship.

Speaker 8 (31:39):
I also apologize to you if in any way you
have doubted your support from me throughout it all.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
You never turn your back on me.

Speaker 8 (31:46):
This weekend, I'm going to spend time with my family
and friends.

Speaker 7 (31:49):
You're taking the time to reflect on the best path forward.
