Speaker 3 (00:31):
Can you remember how Hillary Clinton lied and said Tulsi
Gabbard supposedly was a Russian agent? Do you remember how
they put Talsi Gabbard on the terror watch lists earlier
this year? Well, Nash's the director of National Intelligence. This
should be fun.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
It should be fun, and I can't wait for it
to dig in and try to find out. Hey, hey,
boys and girls, come here. I end up on a
terror watch list, and I want to know precisely how
that happened. And I've brought in an outside lawyer here,
and you're going to cooperate with this lawyer, and you're
going to give them anything and everything they asked for

(01:14):
us that we can find out exactly how that happened. Yeah,
I think that's a brilliant pick. I don't know why
the left is apoplectic over it, other than the fact
that she used to be a Democrat and she's gone
to the dark side.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
What are they gonna do when he decides? What do
you think?

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Do you think, Bobby Kennedy, do you think RFK Junior
ends up being Secretary of Health and Human Services? And
if so, do you think he could he get confirmed?

Speaker 5 (01:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
And of course then we got Matt Gates. So I'm
driving back from lunch meeting yesterday and I hear about
how all I hear them talking about is how the
nomination of Gates, the nomination of Gates, And they never
say to what or anything that because I'm coming in
the middle of the story, and I'm thinking Gates, Gate,
Bill Gates, Bob. I thought Bob Gates died, the former

(02:06):
Defense secretary maybe still alive. I don't know, but I
can figu out who the hell it was. But anyway,
the left's all, well, everybody's apoplectic about that one, and
I would be kind of interested in send me a
text message thirty three one zero three. You know the rule,
and start the message with one of two words Mike

(02:27):
or Michael, and tell me what do you think huh
or both or both If you want to be a
smart ass, do both, and then tell me what you
think about the Matt Gates nomination to be the Attorney
General of the United States of America before I say anything,
and I'm not going to say much about it today
because I'm still trying to process it in my own head.

(02:47):
But what we will have some fun with is the
left and how the Democrats are going absolutely apoplectic about it,
which kind of leads into where I want to start today.
So doing doing show prep, I'm hearing all of these
post mortems, including some Republicans, you know, like, you know,

(03:09):
can we figure out how in the world we keep
losing Maricopa County and losing you know, we lost the
Arizona gubernatorial seat with Terry Lake and then we lose
the US Senate race with Kerry Lake. Uh, you know,
California had what other states do too, three three strikes?

Speaker 5 (03:27):
You're out?

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Do we really need Kerry Lake one more time before
we recognize that it's time to move on? And and
what's with the counting Americopa County. So there's on our
side of the aisle, there is some post mortem, some
autopsies going on. But the left and what they're doing

(03:48):
with their post mortems are absolutely fascinating. And it started
with yesterday with a speech by Chuck Schumer. No, it's
a ten minute speech. It's exactly ten minutes long, the
first eight minutes of which he goes through and talks
about how great Democrats are and how you know, he's

(04:10):
really sad that, you know, we lost, but you know,
we pick up and we learn from it and we
move on. And I'm thinking, do you really learn from
it or not? And then he goes through every individuality.
He talks about Shared Brown who lost in Ohio, he
talks about John Tester who lost in Montana, and how

(04:31):
he's certain that the people of Montana are so disappointed
and I'm thinking, well, they elected somebody else, so the
majority of people in Montana are not disappointed. They're happy
with the outcome, unless you always vote against your self interest,
which doesn't mean any sense to me, but apparently that's

(04:52):
how that's the convoluted thinking of Chuck Schumer, who frank
quite frankly can barely read a speech. It's just time
for Chuck to go away, along with Nancy Pelosi, all
the all the others. And after eight minutes, eight minutes
and two seconds to be precise, of him going through

(05:13):
welcoming the new senators and talking about how you know,
we always listen to the people, and you know we're
responsive to the people. And I'm thinking, really, how how
are your responsive to the people. You just keep burying
us in debt. You just keep doing all these things
that mandate this and mandate that. You you really do

(05:33):
think you ride this. You know you're a shining knight
and armor in there. You're gonna save us from ourselves. Well,
bite my ass and go away. But then he gets
to the last two minutes, in the last two minutes,
that kind of makes me want of puke.

Speaker 6 (05:51):
Now, let me turn to my colleagues on the other
side of the aisle. Another closely contested election now comes
to an end. To my Republican colleagues, I offer a
word of caution in good faith.

Speaker 5 (06:06):
Ooh, Chucks, going to caution us.

Speaker 6 (06:11):
Take care not to misread the will of the people.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Take care not to misread the will of the people. Now,
the will of the people to me seem to be
fairly overwhelming, particularly an age where partisanship has really divided
the nation, and we have two competing and opposite views

(06:36):
of how this country ought to be governed and what
this country ought to be about.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
For that matter.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
We have the cultural wars, we got political wars, we
got religious wars. We've got every kind of societal war
that you can imagine going on in this country. We're
ripping ourselves apart. And somebody has emerged, and a majority
has emerged that says, we reject you and your view
of governing and your view of politics, and we.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
Want to go with this guy, and we want to
go with these people.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
And he's going to chastise us and warn us about that.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
Now, let me turn to my colleagues on the other
side of the aisle. Another closely contested election now comes
to an end. To my Republican colleagues, I offer a
word of caution, in good faith, take care not to
misread the will of the people, and do not abandon

(07:39):
the need for bipartisanship.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
Wow, don't abandon the need for bipartisanship. The inflation reduction
Act all of the COVID spending which probably was done
on it.

Speaker 5 (08:01):
Well, it was done on a bipartisan basis.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
But think about Obamacare, think about proposing that stupid immigration
bill that did nothing it.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
Yeah, I mean they threw in a.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Bunch of extra CBP and ICE agents but did nothing
to reduce the actual number of illegal aliens coming into
the country and then use that as a blunt instrument
against Republicans and Kamala Harris use it throughout the campaign. Well,
you know, Congress needs to do its job. Republicans need
to you know.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
Blah blah blah.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Really you're gonna lecture us about bipartisanship. I know it's
early in the morning, but bite my ass.

Speaker 6 (08:41):
And multiple swing seats will remain with Democrats.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
Now, to my newly elected.

Speaker 6 (08:47):
Democratic colleagues from across the country, I extend a welcoming hand.
I met with these new members just now in my office.
We're excited to get to work. We're excited you're joining
our caucus. Now let me turn to my colleagues on
the other side of the aisle. Another closely contested election

(09:07):
now comes to an end. To my Republican colleagues, I
offer a word of caution in good faith, take care
not to misread the will of the people, and do
not abandon the need for bipartisanship. After winning an election,
the temptation may be to go to the extreme. We've

(09:28):
seen that happen over the decades, and it's consistently backfired
on the party in power. So instead of going to
the extremes, I remind my colleagues that this body is
most effective when it's bipartisan.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
If we want in.

Speaker 6 (09:42):
The next four years the Senate to be as productive
as the last four, the only way that will happen
is through by partisan cooperation. Democrats will be ready to
do what we have consistently done, work with both sides
when the opportunity arises.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
Democrats will never abandon in.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
Our values, but neither will we reject an opportunity to
move the ball forward to make people's lives better when
we can. The question is now whether or not Republicans
are willing to do the same. So my colleagues on
the other side, once again, do not abandon bipartisanship. It's
the best and most effective way to get things done.

(10:22):
It was true in the last four years and will
be true in the years to come. Finally, let me
end with this. For millions of Americans, particularly those on
this side of the aisle, this is a difficult moment.
But as John F. Kennedy once said, let us not
despair but act. Let us not despair but act. Let

(10:47):
us not give up on the dream that is America. Instead,
let us do what those who came before us have
always done. Let us persevere, let us persist, let us
get to work.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
Let us get to work.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Isn't it fascinating how those on the left think that
the way to make your life better is for more government.
They sincerely, I mean in the depths of their souls,
they sincerely believe that the way to improve your life
is through and I just want to use a broad

(11:26):
phrase here, government action. They think that by the government
doing things either on your behalf or in place of
your own free will, in other words, mandating that you
do something or prohibit you from doing something, that that's
how they make your life better. When those of us

(11:50):
over here on this side of the aisle believe that
the way to make a person's life better is to
get them, is to get government out of the way,
to let you make you know to succeed and fail
on your own, to let you make your choices about
everything that we do, what we eat, what we drive,

(12:13):
what we wear, how we house ourselves, how we transport ourselves,
how we do everything, because every individual. This is the
great thing about this country, and it started with freedom
of religion. Everybody gets to go worship their God. Everybody

(12:36):
gets to go worship as they choose. And inherent in that,
which we often forget about, is choice that we, based
on our own particular faith and our own particular belief,
choose a set of principles set forth in the Bible or.

Speaker 5 (12:59):
The Qur'an or the Torah, what what.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
What, whatever it might be that we that we decide
that this is what's going to guide our lives, and
then we're going to make individual choices.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
You know, as Christians, we know we're all sinners.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
And we all you know, at one point or violate
the Ten Commandments in one way or another. We we
we you know, go against God's will, We do all
sorts of things that make us sinners because we're humans.
But we recognize that that free will and everybody making
those individual choices, every that the three hundred plus million
Americans in this country making an individual choice about what

(13:39):
they're going to do, either in terms of how they live,
what they do in terms of their education, or their profession,
their jobs, their work, whatever it might be. So what
makes the country great. And so we believe that free markets,
free will, individual liberty, individual freedom, all of these things

(14:00):
is what makes us great. And so government, we just
want you to provide a minimal amount of regulation.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
And I always use restaurants as an example.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
I just want to make certain that when I go
into a restaurant that they're complying with health codes. I
can go into third world countries and I can eat,
you know, off a food truck on the side of
the road, or for that matter, I can go as
I recall doing in Hawaii when we were in Hawaii
back in lock Nobra on vacation, of driving around the

(14:34):
Big Island and finding a group of food trucks and
I remember thinking to myself, should I look to see
if they've been inspected? And I look around, Not that
it makes any difference, because I already know that this
is what everybody wants to do, but this is how unfortunately,
this is how I think. But I'm looking around and
I'm thinking, again, has anybody inspected these food trucks? And

(14:59):
then I look and I see everybody sitting around, people
that have been out surfing, swimming, fishing, just enjoying the
sun out in these little, tiny rural communities, just out
enjoying life, you know, and it seems like it was
a weekend I don't remember, but just enjoying the food.

(15:23):
And I chuckle to myself because that's a risk that
I'm willing to take. I do that when I go
to all sorts of foreign countries. I have no clue
what their regulatory scheme is, nor do I care. And
if I get sick, I get sick. Now I try
to be somewhat discerning about I mean, if it looks

(15:44):
like a dump, smells like a dump, you know, tastes
like a dump, maybe I'm not gonna eat there. But
if it seems to be somewhat on the up and up, yeah,
you know.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
What, let's go on. Let's try.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
It might makes you stronger. You know, what doesn't kill
you makes you stronger. But their idea is everything needs
to be regulated everything, And the problem is we've gone
from just the idea that, hey, let's just make certain
that if you're going to open up to the public
and provide, you know, food for the public, that you
ought to meet some minimal standard. We've gone from that

(16:19):
to well, you shouldn't eat this, or you shouldn't eat that,
or you know, cow's produce too much methane and that's
going to destroy the planet, so you've got to.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
Start eating bugs and quit eating meat. Get all that
kind of crap.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
It's two entirely different views world views of what the
role of government is. And Chuck Schumer his vision. Democrats
vision is that they truly do. I just don't know
how much to keep emphasizing this, but having roamed among

(16:55):
them in the wild, I can tell you that this
is how they believe every single day, is what can
we do in terms of legislation to pass a law
that's going to regulate something that they believe will limit
your choice and by limiting your choice, will make your
life better, while at the same time, in their own

(17:18):
private lives, because they are the elitists, they get to
live their life however they want to. You think that now,
some of them do, some of them don't. Depending on
Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer, for example, obviously doesn't go through TSA,
so he has no clue what TSA is like. But
the rest of you schlubs, go get your proctology examination,

(17:41):
you know, go ahead and check your prostate.

Speaker 5 (17:44):
Just do that. We don't care. All we know is
it makes us feel safer. And we wanted to do this.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
We wanted to create this behemoth called DHS because we
needed to be seen doing something. We don't care how
to affect you. These people are despicable. They're truly despicable
and in some cases to be perfectly blunt as human beings.

(18:13):
They're despicable. Now, there are Democrats. I worked with a
lot of Democrats that I found to be quite personable, entertaining, fun,
kind of a pleasure to be around. But then there
were people like Chuck Schumer, and there were Republicans like
John McCain that I found to be absolutely despicable human beings.

(18:34):
Now I know they you know, Tuck's got a family,
John McCain has a family, and you know, they love
They all love each other, and so they are, you know,
in that regard, they're just no.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
Different than the rest of us.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
Boy, they don't think that, they think they're so much
better than you are, which then raises the question, what
lessons will the Democrats?

Speaker 5 (19:00):
Well, what not?

Speaker 4 (19:01):
What lessons will they worry? What lessons will the Democrats
refuse to learn?

Speaker 7 (19:10):

Speaker 9 (20:10):
Those idiots on the left actually think my parsonship means
that the right comes to the left. It just doesn't
work that way.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
But Chuck says that it does. Chuck says that to
that to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
We would all get along if you just agreed with me.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
Right, if you all would just shut up and sit
down and do as we tell you to do, then
everything would be fine, even if we're in the minority.
Just do what we say. In fact, that's a great
lead lead in to my contention that the great thing
about being a Democrat is that you're always right about everything.

(20:57):
Even if you're wrong, you're always right. You see, the
Democrats don't need to learn from their mistakes because they
don't make any mistakes. If they implement something, if they
pass the law and something goes wrong, they can always
just fix it by pointing the fingers at somebody else.

(21:18):
They're the good guys, we're the bad guys. Everything they
do is for a good reason. So the only way
that they can fail is if you racist, sexist, transphobic
Republicans go out there and ruin it for the Democrats.
And to Chuck's point, this election that my gosh, it

(21:40):
was just last week, wasn't it. Dragon, It seems like
it's been a long time ago. It was just last week.
And Republican has always run it for me, and you
Republicans ruined it for the Democrats and the last election.
See Chuck's right. Now, Let's think about this Democrats and

(22:01):
their wholly owned subsidiaries that does all their marketing and media.
Uh sometimes we refer to them as ABC or NBC, CBS,
the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, CNN. Uh, you
know all of those that that's that's the publicity arm

(22:25):
of the Democrat Party. Well, the Democrats and and their
their media subsidiary.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
Did everything right.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
When you when we do when we do a post
mortem from a Democrat point of view, everything they did
was right, and we're the ones that messed it up.
They ran an eighty one year old, demented Joe Biden
that could barely walk through the beach day before or

(22:57):
over the weekend.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
Did you ever we have it? Do we have vide
up on the website.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
It has posted that Michael says, go here dot com.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
You'll probably scrolled down and find he's probably buried somewhere now.
But you really, if you haven't seen that video, it
really it's sad, not just because he's I expected any
moment for him to fall flat on his face.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
And anybody around him could have just steadied him. But
nobody did.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
Nobody, I mean not some secret service agent, but even
more importantly, his wife, who is a doctor, didn't do it.
You would think that a doctor that you know, because
she is doctor Jill Biden after all, that she would
have seen that he was unsteady and kind of taken
him by the elbow and helped him get through the sand.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
But she didn't do it.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
Anyway, So they ran this eighty one year old guy
that can't walk on the beach and they completely self
assuredly reassured themselves that Joe Biden was the only person
to even to ever beat Trump in an election. They
led about his dementia, They just kept, you know, think

(24:03):
about sometimes a little retrospective is good for all of us.
Think about how many times on this program we would
play the sound bites of Joe mumbling or stumbling or
doing whatever he happened to be doing, and we could
see it for ourselves. Now, if we can see it,

(24:23):
they can see it. The difference is we we believe
what we saw. Yeah, And they the Democrats kept reassuring
themselves that Joe Biden was the only person to ever
beat Trump in election, and that they kept lying about the.

Speaker 5 (24:41):
Dementia until that damn Donald Trump agreed.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Remember it wasn't Trump's idea. Trump just agreed to it. Hey,
let's hold an early debate. Now, why did they Why
were they doing that? Because they thought they could not
Trump out early, that somehow they could, you know, get
the first knife in. And Trump ruined those plans by

(25:13):
not only not collapsing, but if you recall the visuals
of that debate back in was it June?

Speaker 5 (25:20):
I think it was back in June.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
If you recall the visuals of that debate, Biden could
barely hold himself up at the podium.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
He couldn't close his damn mouth. He just stared gaping.

Speaker 5 (25:34):
He looked like Jimmy Carter, except he was upright.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
That's cold, but accurate.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
I'm just trying to it's steer the mite.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
I'm trying to get people to understand it is what
it looked like and Trump really didn't need to do
anything except I think at one point he did say
something to the effect I'm not really quite sure what
he said, and I'm not quite sure he knew what
he said either. And then when that collapsed, they just
threw out the old man like he was trash. That
we got it, just dumpy. They just I mean, the

(26:08):
swords came out and they just started stabbing him in
the back, the sides, the front, they stabbed him everywhere.
And then they nominated the one person most responsible for
the cover up of Joe's broken brain a woman, and

(26:28):
a woman of color, thereby making it both racist and
sexist to oppose the Democrats for any reason whatsoever, because
if you're a woman and you are of color, thou
shalt not criticize that woman, regardless of how much a
ditch she is.

Speaker 5 (26:48):
And I know I took.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
I took great risk at calling her a dits on air.
The truth is always a defense.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
The truth is she ran a flawless campaign.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
And she ran a flawless campaign. Yes, remember when she
went on the View and Sonny Hofton said, what would
you do differently? And I mean it was a it
was a total layup.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
It was.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
It was a slow pitch ball right across, right in
the strike zone, and Kamala completely lifted and said, well,
I wouldn't change anything, and that sealed her fate right there.

Speaker 5 (27:42):
Now.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
To ensure their success, they spent more than a billion
dollars in three months and still came out owing money
at the end.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Now, our little clarification here. She did not raise the
billion dollar that was from leftover from the Biden campaign.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
Didn't she like the day that she announced, didn't she
raise like five million dollars.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
I'm not arguing the fact that that she people had
raised so much money for her, but there was still
some leftover from the Biden campaign because she was able
to dip into that.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
Correct, No, no, no, they've spent all of that enter in
the whole.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
I guess what I'm getting at is that there was
still money there when she took over. Oh she took it.

Speaker 5 (28:32):
Yes, there was money there, correct, that's the point.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
So to her raising a billion dollars is not quite accurate.

Speaker 9 (28:39):
You know what, It was.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
Too early on that. So they they how about, well
that make you happy? They raised a billion dollars.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Not all for her, but for that right hard.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
But the two of them together raised a billion dollars
and spent a billion twenty million, yeah, and did not win, correct.
And then she lost both the electoral college and a landslide,
and she lost the popular vote. And then the Democrats
lost control of the Senate, and now we know for

(29:13):
a fact today that they've lost control of the House.
It is indeed, as I like to use the phrase,
which I'm surprised people haven't complained about, it was a
magawet dream. It was an absolute wet dream for maga Republicans.
And now it's only a matter of figuring out why
it's not their fault. Now here are a few of
the lessons I think that they.

Speaker 5 (29:33):
Will not learn.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
They for whatever reason, and I think it's because it's elitist.
Now I know that there are Hollywood actors actresses that
are I mean they are elitists in the sense that
they act for a living and they make you know,
bazillions of dollars doing it. But a lot of them

(29:59):
are really on earth people. John vod Nick, Searcy, Clint Eastwood,
these are just really wholesome individuals. But all the rest
of them, yeah, bunch of muckety MUCKs.

Speaker 5 (30:14):
But they they.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Smugly reassure each other that this big barnyard full of
celebrities is a lot cooler than our celebrity celebrities. But
then we don't pay our celebrities. Brett Farb, how much
do you think Brett farv got paid to appear with
Donald Trump? Yeah, not a nicol. But they've got Taylor Swift,

(30:41):
they got Oprah, they got Lizzo, they got Lady Gaga,
they got Madonna, they got Beyonce, they got Bruce Springsteen,
whose music I still like, Harrison Ford, Will Ferrell, George Clooney, Eminem,
Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the entire cast of the Avengers. Now
who do those maga losers have? John Voyd, Nick Serusy,

(31:03):
Kid Rock, Gid Rock. What's the wrestler, Hulk Hogan Hogan, Yeah, yeah,
Hulk Hogan. So that reported one plus billion dollars. They
showed out a million dollars to Oprah's production company. Now
Oprah wanted to make sure somebody told me she was
on Malley that's where that video was yesterday. Uh, Oprah

(31:25):
wanted to make sure that she didn't get paid. But
that's like saying that I didn't get paid, but my
LLC got paid. Yeah, so that's how that happened.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
That's how billionaire skirt around the taxes, ladies and gentlemen
and bingo.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
And that's why I look up and because I got
distracted and realized it's time to take a break. How
about that, mister producer.

Hey, Michael, as much as I loathe and detest Chuck Schumer,
you know and I know and he knows too, that
if Republicans can figure out a way to grew up
the recipe for ice, they will have a nice day.

Speaker 5 (33:06):
King of the goobers. Yeah, yeah, we do have a
way of shooting ourselves in the foot.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
Which, by the way, you may you may stay tuned
today because I got an email that came in late
last night I didn't see until this morning that says
it's time for me to retire and go away because
of what I talked about yesterday. And we're going to well,
I'm gonna have some fun with that one. So let's

(33:31):
go back to what are the lessons that the Democrats.

Speaker 5 (33:36):
Will refuse to learn?

Speaker 4 (33:38):
And the one I was talking about was celebrity endorsements
simply do not work.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
You know.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
The rumor that I saw last night, and again it's
a rumor, but I think that MSNBC will try to
find out.

Speaker 5 (33:52):
The truth.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Is that supposedly Al Sharpton was paid. Let me let
me rephrase that before dragging upst down my throat. The
rumor is that Al Sharpton's National Action Network, his organization,
was paid five hundred thousand dollars or received a five
hundred thousand dollars contribution from the Harris campaign before she

(34:20):
did the Al Sharpton interview. Now, you may or may
not recall that Joe Scarborough got suspended from MSNBC for
I don't know, ten days or two weeks or something,
for having blatantly made contributions to political candidates in violation
of the MSNBC. And don't laugh when I say this

(34:40):
code of ethics. Yes, so Al Sharpton will. Will he
be held to the same standard? Will the black guy
be held in the same standard that the white guy was? Well,
don't hold your breath now. Don't get me wrong. Celebrities
have a right to political opinions like anybody else. But

(35:02):
the difference is they're multimillionaires and they're completely out of
touch with day to day concerns of most Americans, and
most of them sound like they get all their news
from Joy Reid or al Sharbden and then all those
Marvel actors. They've learned that all the money in the
world's not gonna put butts in the seats. If the
product stinks, if it's a rehash of you knows. If

(35:24):
it's version eight and it looks the same as the original, yeah,
we kind of get bored with it. Why do they
think it's going to be any different in the voting booth?
You know, just recognizing somebody's face doesn't necessarily mean you're
going to do what she tells you to do, no
matter how much she got paid to say it. I

(35:46):
think the other lesson, which we may have to finish
at the top of the hour, is that identity politics
does not work identity politics. So for what I hope
is a fatal death blow on November five, a whole

(36:07):
lot of black people refuse to vote for Kamala Harris.
A lot of black women even refuse to vote for
Kamala Harris. And for some it's pure racism. Well she's
not really black, but most of the dissenters people of
color thought she was a bad candidate, and she was

(36:28):
a bad candidate that was pushed on them as some
sort of affirmative action hire and then told this is
who you have to vote for. You know, people don't
generally like to be told what to do. This time,
Trump gained voters all across the color spectrum, and Democrats
are just flabbergasted by it. They see a black guy

(36:52):
wearing a MAGA hat and their brains just completely the
circuit breaker just kicks in.

Speaker 5 (36:59):
They don't want to do it. They don't. Democrats don't
see people as individuals, which is how they govern. Also,
