Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michael, Dragon, what's up, buddy? Hey, I remember the dollar

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Back into the late sixties early seventies, And yes, I
am showing my age when they had TV commercials where
they would advertise you and come in and get a
meal and get change back from your dollar.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
No, I was feeling old until you said that. No,
I do not remember that. Come come and get a
meal and get change for your dollar or your Benjamin?
Which one is it? Holy cow? By the way, congratulations,

We'll put it in the mail.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Toy.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Well, we got his phone number. We can just zell
or venmo a toing just I don't know what do
you think today? A couple of million bucks?

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Well, I think I can give one of these too.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
There you go, enjoy.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Oh oh oh, let's see here, and another seven ninety
five three, Mike, Oh, I see I already saved you under.
Oh I see I already saved you under Michael Brown.
I can quit touching you now at blank blank blank
and think you'll sit and thinking you'll see it. Loving
the show. And you're eight am slot. I'm listening from
Central California. Thanks, Yes, the way from Central California, listening.

(01:44):
If only we had if only we had a map,
if only we had a map that we could put
up the shows. We got a listener listening to Kowa
at you know, at uh nine oh seven in the morning,
California time, and put it up on a map.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Now, when you ordered the map, did you CUSTOMI it
and it said, you know, Goober's And then like everybody else.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
No, I didn't do any customization.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Okay, because because I'm a cheap ass, I'm not to
customize it. Because I'm sure once we put it up
in here the way.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Curious, we need to measure this right here, it's about
three feet give or take.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, I'd like to know whether I'd like to know
the give or take because that would be the perfect
place for it.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Right. Yeah, that's where the great question board was. So
just where the what was the Great question board. I
don't remember the Great curse for the Colors Morning News.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Whenever they would ask a great question, people take on
the board.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Oh so it's just like a whiteboard or something.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yeah, okay, it's fun when you're doing interviews and you ask.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
You know, someone should have been a hanging electronic map
where you could just like light up, you know, every
little place.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Get right of it, Get right on that.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, somebody to get on. I'm not going to get
on it. Is the Maga coalition breaking up? Is it
fracture beyond repair?

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Over the.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I guess i'd been greatly irritated. Imagine that. I've been
greatly irritated. And it's not just dragging either. I've been
greatly irritated by a lot of things lately. You know,
the dogs irritated me because they're having a difficult time.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
You know what the heck did the dogs do?

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Well?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
They're puppies. They didn't irritate me.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
But this morning I was reading in bed, so I
didn't get out of bed quite as early as I
normally do. But I heard tammer rumbling around downstairs. So
I got up and I opened the bedroom door, turn
the light on. And because I get their food ready
at night, so all they all they gotta do is
just go down and Tamra could put their bowls out
for them, but no, they had to wait until I

(03:42):
finished taking a shower.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
I'm like, you guys are idiots.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
They themselves decided to wait when their food was available.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yes, okay, because they're so there's it's such a routine
to them that until until Dad gets out of the
shower and puts clothes.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
On, we can't eat.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
You wouldn't it be wonderful if children were that way?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Good?

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Imagine the field our spouses were that way. Oh, it's
for it, it's for it, it's for the afternoon.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
I'm angry. I need to go eat. I need to
go eat.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
The old joke that I love. Put your dog and
put your wife in the trunk, leaving there for an hour.
See which one's happy when you open it up.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Dragon at iHeartMedia dot com for all you wives out there,
Dragon at iHeartMedia dot com. So I've been greatly irritated
by the online spaces you know, Facebook, X, Instagram, all
of them for the last I don't know, umpteen weeks,
primarily because it really has been this hub of negativity
that does very little by the way of pushing any.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Sort of action. You know.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
I sometimes try to at least provide some actionable items,
you know, some things by which we can measure whether
we're being successful or not. It's just it's become, uh,
everything's become overblown by all all this extravagant bitching. Just
that's there's the key phrase of the day, just extravagant bitching.

(05:07):
There are there are some posters that I trust for
data who entered into the funnel of all this online doom,
and now I think they're struggling to.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Get out of that online doom.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
But what makes it worse is that I think I'm
the one who feels like the fool because I actually
am optimistic. I'm focusing on the long term battle for
the survival of the republic, And as I tried to
point out in that thing, like that comment that I
made on X last night, I truly do. In fact,

(05:37):
let me just pull it up one talking about it.
Let me just pull it up and I'll tell you
what I wrote and see if you agree or disagree
with this, because some of you obviously did not, or
one person in particular did not. Progressives and Marxists since
about nineteen twenty have caused this slow moving auto accident

(05:57):
that we're living through right now. The car is rolling
over and over and over and slowly coming to a stop. Now,
what I should have added in hindsight was it did
speed up for a while, like between FDR and Obama,
the rollover of the car really sped up. But now
it's slowly coming to a stop because of Donald Trump,

(06:18):
because the Republicans controlling the federal legislature to Congress, and
it is rolling to a stop and is queen of
Land on all fours. But nonetheless, the car is going
to be damaged. Now, I believe that we American citizens
are going to walk away from this slow rolling accident,

(06:40):
but we're going to be scarred, We're going to be injured,
and we're going to be scared. Well, I say one
word which I can't say on air. Let's just say
I say, we're going to be scared, feaciless. But the
car will land on its now flattened wheels. We just
have to walk away, take those things that endure, like
the Constitution, and rebuild the car. We're starting that rebuilding now,

(07:05):
but the people who cause the accident are trying to
keep all the first responders away, hoping the car explodes
before we can be rescued, because then they can impose
their wonderful utopia with a total car and we'll have
to start everything over from scratch, you know, with the
Color Revolution or the Second American Revolution, or whatever it
might be. And I don't think that we necessarily have

(07:27):
to do that. That's why I'm optimistic. I truly am
optimistic that we can survive this. There will be, obviously,
there'll be anytime you suffer a major car accident like this,
there are obviously ups and downs in your recovery.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
But overall, I.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Sincerely believe that we are going to survive this. But
even if we survive it, and I do feel like
a fool sometimes for being optimistic.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
There have been multiple elections this year in.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Which I knew Democrats were going to win, they were
going to win, and that narratives were going to start,
and the Republicans still have a lot of work to
do when it comes to motivating voters, particularly without Donald
Trump on the ticket. The Wisconsin Supreme Court race, I
just knew, based on things I was reading, that we
were going to win that back by a comfortable margin.

(08:23):
The Wisconsin Supreme Court race I called by a comfortable
margin for the Democrat sanctioned candidate, plus the top of
the ticket races in Virginia, New Jersey. But I've also
talked about weak points in various executive actions. I've suggested
areas for stronger action, and I've also cautioned against escalation
of various conflicts throughout the world, just based on my

(08:45):
understanding of military history and strategy in world's history, we
should reject raw, raw voices that are incapable of seeing
fault lines. But likewise, it's necessary to reign in the
voices that do nothing but despair. They are particularly dangerous

(09:07):
because they demoralize our greater effort for our long term success.
But let's take a stab at addressing the movement that
we are in right now. And I want to address
the movement that we're in because there's a lot of
turmoil in that movement, and I'm afraid that turmoil could

(09:28):
consume even more people in.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Paralysis by analysis, if you will.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Now, none of this is to this point answers the
question posed by the basic question, and that is, is
the maga coalition fractured beyond repair. First and foremost, the
de factor, leader of the Mega movement, has three years
and so many months and so many days left until

(09:57):
he will hand over the presidency to his success By
version of so much time remaining on the clock, more
than three quarters of the term fracture beyond repair is out. Now,
let's address this question with two items suggesting a need
for positivity about the administration, and two that might suggest

(10:19):
imminent danger that could lead to graver consequences if we
don't address those on the positive side, I would make
the first point one of the great flaws of our
political system is that eight to ten major ideologies are
stuffed into a system that requires supporting one of two
major parties. In each of those parties, there are anywhere

(10:40):
between eight and ten major ideologies stuffed into those two parties. Now,
you can argue with me all you want to about
Libertarians or the Green the greeny Weenies, or the no
Labels group, but significant minor party support died off back
in the nineteen nineties, and big money on advertise, big
money on voter contact, big money on pointing out polarization

(11:04):
canalyzes the electorate. One way or the other Democrat or Republican.
And it is even more pronounced in midterm years in
which minor parties don't even go to the trouble of
fielding candidates for either House or Senate seats, let alone
state legislative chang chambers. So with that noted, if you

(11:29):
track voter registration by party, I think you'll understand my
reasoning to be optimistic, because voter registration by party is
the clearest indicator of voter sentiment and the most predictive
way of pegging the the trajectory, if you will, of
states for the next presidential election, we have thirty states

(11:52):
registered voters by party, thirty states, and in every state
but New York and Utah, Republican have a greater raw
registration lead or just a small deficit than they did
in the November election last year. New York's drift, I think,
is owed to the mayoral race, in which everybody in

(12:13):
their mother registered Democrat to go pick the next mayor,
and Utah's is owed to voter role maintenance. In what
is an overwhelmingly Republican state, Democrats are making gains practically nowhere.
Now that could change, and if it does, You'll hear
about it before anybody else, because I'll obviously talk about it.

(12:37):
States were notably swinging away from Obama by the by
the time the twenty ten midterms came around. Remember in
twenty twelve, forty three out of fifty states moved toward
Romney from the previous election.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Now, I could.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Definitely tell you that the country is moving away from
MAGA if and when I see it in the voter
registration records. But that does not mean Republicans are going
to win the twenty twenty six midterms, as those elections
are a completely different animal. They're subject to political dynamics
consistent for over ninety years.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Now. It does, however, point.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
To sustain Republican success over the long run and a
transformation of the electorate. So far, voters in the greater
electorate aren't getting the online message to go embrace the Democrats. Now,
if you are just buried deep into the online minutia,

(13:36):
you might perceive, and I know sometimes perception is reality,
but here I don't think it is. You might perceive
that a lot of voters are now beginning to embrace Democrats,
but so far the reality is they have not. This
means that Trump is still, to quote Teddy Roosevelt, Little Roosevelt,

(13:58):
Trump's still the man in the arena. He's still the
guy with the ability and most importantly, the time to
make things happen. That's the first positive point. Second positive
point is this, we've been here before.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
We we ignore history to our own peril.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Trump's rise in time in office reminds me of and
this may date me, but this reminds me of Ronald
Reagan's journey. I suspect history would remember those years differently
if X formerly Twitter, Facebook, or all the other forms
of social media.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Were there in the background at the time.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
If you're old enough to remember the Reagan years, you
would remember Reagan is destroying and betraying his bass. Reagan
is owned by filling the blank. Why the Reagan cabinet
is sabotaging the president himself. Oh, we're not going to
win the mid terms. Everything's gonna be We're gonna be
lost forever in the wilderness. You know what happened. Reagan

(15:03):
got smoked in both of his midterms. And what's most
incredible about that is that he had a sixty three
percent approval rating in nineteen eighty six. Then after getting
trampled in the nineteen eighty two midterms. His approval ranking
sank two thirty five percent. Does that sound familiar? Then
the boom happened, the Reagan boom happened only after he'd

(15:28):
been in office for a year or two. Does that
sound familiar? What do we keep hearing from Scott Descent
and the others. Oh, you know, first quarter of next year,
first quarter of next year, all these things are going
to kick in and we'll start to see a boom.
Same thing happened back in the eighties, Absolutely same thing.
All the damage that Carter inflicted on the country started

(15:51):
to reverse. Now they're already signs the damage of the
Biden economy is going to do the same, and it's
going to give a window of opportunity that none of
us saw coming. That issue, and not immigration, which most voters,
particularly swing voters, see is a fixed issue because of
Donald Trump, will dominate the midterms and determine the level
of Republican success next fall, or perhaps the lack thereof.

(16:14):
So what we ought to do is just get our
minds right for the midterms. And I know, may I know,
it's only Friday, November twenty one, twenty twenty five may
seem early talk about the midterms, but I guarantemn to
you the people that are running the big donors the
parties are already getting prepared. Do you how I know
that one little blurb I heard in the news this morning,

(16:36):
one little tiny blurb which people don't understand the significance
of the Republican National Committee right now has over ninety
million dollars in the bank and zero debts.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Do you know what?

Speaker 3 (16:50):
The Democrats have a vote loaded debts and they just
signed the loan for fifteen million dollars. Now you put
those two in two buckets and walem and see which
bucket you'd rather be in. Trump knows what it's going
to take to make the American economy work for Americans.
But when you're trying to reverse decades, I mean lovely

(17:10):
decades of offshoring and trying to use tariff to do that,
that takes time, patience, and quite frankly, a little bit
of pain to get the message through.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
But our desire for.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Instant gratification, that culture of instant gratification that somehow demands
that things go back to normal to appease investors. The
CEOs of all the type the top line sticklers. But
what a lot of people won't address is that some
of this lag we talked about in the last hour,
particularly the contraction of manufacturing sector under Trump forty seven,

(17:42):
is directly linked to his fulfillment of the deportation plan.
So those companies that employ illegal labor are now shorthanded
and in some cases are unable to meet their business
obligations as they're still unwilling to hire American labor. And
quite frankly, there's some Americans that are unwilling to go
to those jobs. Although if you look at the jobs

(18:04):
numbers this week, it appears that, oh, we were told
that if we have all of the deportations, including the
self deportations, that we won't.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Have anybody to fill those jobs.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Well apparently one hundred nineteen thousand people did, and that
was a good number. And that number are private sector jobs,
not public sector government jobs. And it's break time.

Speaker 5 (18:30):
Scene in the movie Mister Mom where the mom Terry
Garr goes and becomes an executive and she helps the
guy that's the head of the tuna company to lower
his prices, and it's really great in it reminds me
exactly what you're doing. Somebody has to convince people to
lower their prices. And anyway, it's a really fun scene. Thanks,

(18:53):
have a great day.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Wow, that was quite a a reference pulled out of
something I would have never thought. I remember Terry Garr.
Whatever happened? Is she alive or dead? And she was actually,
you know, decent actress?

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (19:15):
Gone, she always used appear on Letterman Show, wasn't it.
She's always appearing on Letterman Show. We have a domestic
dispute going on, so I don't know whether the program
will be able to continue or not. But talent and
producer are having an argument because I'm accusing the producer
of always lying to me.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
Why would I lie about this? Why would I constantly
say on air to clarify exactly how people should text
the show?

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Because all the other times you lied to me about
everything else?

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Wow? Well, I know.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
And then he says, oh, that's harsh, that's harsh. That
itself is a lie.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Also, Terry Garr died last year? Oh just last year?

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Yeah? Hellick Wisher, twenty four do you know, I don't
know what's forty four into twenty four?

Speaker 1 (20:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
You talked to the guy that has to have his
iPhone to do, you know, calculate a tip seventy nine.
It's not bad good for her. Yes, you have to
use the word Michael or Michael at the beginning of
the text message.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Are you happy now? Been saying that for years? He's
right there? How's that dragon is right? Say it again
so I can get it.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
No, no, no, I'm not going to say the yes
so you can give it to AJ so you make
some promo out of it. I'm not going to do that.
I mean, I you know, I may think you're lied
to me, but I'm not stupid. Don't eBay text me
about that either. I don't want to hear. I have no
text messages about that. I want you to imagine if
Trump had given up on the deportation operation.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Think about that. What would the Bay say?

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Then? It just irritates me that clear victories implemented almost
immediately upon taking taking office back in January, get ignored,
while other issues, even if they are valid issues, end
up getting cherry picked elevated and then are used as
a reason to give up on the administration and the
Greater Movement forever. With more than three quarters of the

(21:09):
stupid game remaining to be played, let alone the next seasons,
the future seasons. We're kind of acting like with you know,
we're out of the game with more than two minutes
left to play in the first quarter, and much of
Trump's domestic agenda is already fulfilled. With the economic fix

(21:31):
currently in the works. You know, the southern border is
now essentially secured. Almost no one is even bothering just
set foot in the Darien Gap, that deadly stretch of
jungle that goes from South America through Central America. That's
the part where all the human traffickers smuggle personnel through
in these unbelievable numbers. During the Biden years, we lived

(21:54):
through four years of Biden's open borders, and we heard
every day how we couldn't survive four more years of
the same policy. Well, now the border is essentially shut.
Step fare now being taken to ensure that the next
Democrat in charge can't simply just stand down the entire
border like Biden did. So when the Trump economy begins

(22:15):
to take off, which it must be on the verge
of doing. If all the doomsayers are out in force
right now telling us that it's horrible it will be
all the working class needs to never again turn back.
But there are some negatives, and I want to address
some of the negatives that are the elephants in the room.

(22:36):
If you went on a if you're a Mormon or
or bad, I don't care. You went on a church
mission back in September, you came back yesterday, and you
logged into x you'd think that you would have landed
in a different decade, in some sort of post apocalyptic
American because the same people cheering for the government to

(22:57):
shut down are now all up in arms. They're burning
their MAGA hats, proclaiming doom and gloom and focusing on
a really few, tiny handful of issues that haven't been
delivered on yet or in the process of being addressed again.
With more than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter,
with a great recruiting class waiting in the wings, you

(23:18):
look at voter registration by party, and you know what
I mean. I could those my frustrations with how the
x AD revenue program has prioritized negative outrage messaging, which
get all the shares, likes, and re quotes at incredibly
high rates compared to just standard reporting or standard commentary

(23:39):
or like I like to do some rational analysis, or
maybe sometimes.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
I do do smart ass analysis.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
I think sometimes the X even though I know how
to curate X and how to use X formally Twitter,
so it's still a good platform for me for storytelling
and for hearing what it's on people's mind. The people
that follow me on X are really good people. Ninety
nine percent of them are. There's always the one percent,

(24:07):
but it might be well of the worst platforms for
political sanity and just your peace of mind. If you
want to know more about what the you know, there's
you know, I got a couple of articles. I'll see
if I can't find the article that I read recently
about how the monetization.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Of X is really.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Undoing rational political discussion, and then I can think of
no greater issue that's negative than the stupid Epstein FIESCO
and I you know, as I said, I'm glad the
President's encouraging you assign the bill. They're going to have
the full release of the files, which entails you know,
god knows what. But then maybe people can get off

(24:50):
to trying to protect pedophiles. Doesn't want to be implicated
in narrative, which truly defies common sense because if there
was anything damning to Trump, any documentation related to Epstein,
it would have been dumbed a long time ago, and
it would have destroyed any opportunity for Trump to either
become or to remain president. And I'm not sure what

(25:10):
information that is severe enough to the cabal that have
sold out the country that it would have survived four
years of Biden. You know, the cabal knows what's in
those files, because you know the relationship between the Biden administration,
the deep state, between Biden and the cabal, so they
know what's in there. But I know transparency is still

(25:33):
the key, and I hope that we get it. I
hope we get it for the sake of truth, and
I hope we get it for the sake of just
moving on and getting it out of the way of
this administration's future success. And then once Epstein's out of
the way, well guess what, they'll move on to the
next topic. Because Trump derangement syndrome, I believe, is very
very real, and the cabald is just they're what speaking

(25:56):
of COVID, They're a super spreader. The cabal is truly
a super spreader and They just continue to feed people
who are not discerning consumers of news exactly what they
want them to read and hear because they know that, Oh,
did you hear what I heard on the ABC World
News tonight? No, And I really don't give a red

(26:17):
task what you heard on ABC World News tonight.

Speaker 6 (26:20):
It's interesting how food prices have gone out, but the
cost of a TV set has dropped significantly. You can
buy a fifty five inch TV for under two hundred
dollars now, which means you could afford to shoot one
once a week.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
I could. We should have a TV shooting contest sometime.
We'll just buy a bunch of TVs and go out
and just put on our least favorite, put on the
View or you know something, and just blow up the
TVs or something. Put out here in the back parking lot.
Be a great, a great listenering event. Come blow up
TVs with Michael Brown. On the negative side, you have

(27:04):
and I'm sure that this is going to, you know,
upset some people and other people agree and I just
don't care. But I'm just throwing out things for you
to think about. Marjorie Taylor Green MTG, you know I
support freedom of speech. Freedom of religion, religious assembly for
all Americans. And I'm a strong supporter of Israel. I'm

(27:24):
a Zionist, if you will, But it kind of makes
me angry to hear so many so called liberty lovers
criticize people.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
For just asking questions, for just asking.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
A question at all about our relationship with Israel, over
that matter, our relationship with any other country.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Taiwan, are Ukraine.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
I think those are all issues that well you should
be asking questions about. It doesn't mean that you don't
support them. It doesn't mean that ultimately you still want
America first and you still want us to take care
of ourselves. But I also you can hold two thoughts
in your head at the same time. I'm promising you
can that while Taiwan and Ukraine and Israel all present

(28:07):
at Saudi Arabia, throw them in the mix too or cutter.
Those are all necessary countries that we need to deal with,
whether you like it or not. Like Trump meeting today
with Zofram, so he's gonna take some zoefram today, and
I can't wait to see how that turns out. You know,

(28:28):
my guess is Trump will be polite and they'll do
you know, some sort of meeting afterwards, and you know
it's not going to be like Trump and Zelenski with
their first meeting, where it turns into a brawl in
the Oval office. But it could, It could, It could.
It'll make for great radio and great great sound.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
But I don't.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
I don't have a problem with Trump talking to a
communist any more than I got a problem with Trump
talking to Putin or Shei jin Ping.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
I have had it.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
I think Marjorie Taylor Green knows that. Why she's making
some of these focal points in her appearances. You know,
she opposes Trump's master deportation plans, and then she tries
to patch that over with opposition to H one B visus.
She blames the Republicans for the shutdown. She's been gracing
CNN coverage and standing in as a guest on the

(29:20):
view of All places, trying to broaden her appeals. I'm
not really sure what she's up up to, but Republicans
are not listening to the younger generation, or at least
as much as they should, to make it more finessed.
And the risk isn't to the twenty twenty six mid terms.
The risk of the twenty twenty six midterms existed the

(29:41):
moment that Donald Trump was elect to go back on
November five of twenty twenty four. The risk of the
long term electorate tired of seeing America relied upon to
fix everybody else's problem is the real problem. And that's
not limited Israel again, I mentioned Ukraine, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, anywhere.
It's an issue that we've got to come to grips with.

(30:03):
So my absolutism about freedom of speech has nothing to
do with skin color, religious views, raised ethnicity, or anything
else other than the government the United States adhering to
its constitutional obligations and to protect our rights. The Republican
leadership and all the Magafire brands have got to remember
that above ideology. We need to grow this base, and

(30:27):
we've got to aim to improve life here and to
improve the economy. And as I said earlier, I do
believe that that is coming. Yes, right now. I spent
the entire hour talking about how COVID got us to
where we are, but how this hour, I do believe
that these economic policies that Trump has put in place
have yet we have get to see the full benefit

(30:48):
of those, and I don't think it is trying to
kick the can down the road. Although some issues are
being kicked down, that can is being kicked down the road.
That generally speaking, the things that Trump is doing. While,
for example, well I might disagree with the concept about
no tax on tips, I do recognize that that's going

(31:08):
to have a good economic benefit. So we've got to
figure out how to start thinking in a nuanced way
to recognize that there are both sides of a coin.
And while we may prefer one side over another side,
we can't just shut down the other side and just

(31:29):
say to the Marjorie Taylor Greens of the world, oh,
you're destroying MAGA. I just don't think she's destroying MAGA.
She's raising issues. But the problem is with a Marjorie
Taylor Green is that notice what I mentioned CNN appearances,
the View appearances. That doesn't help MAGA because those are

(31:51):
not Mega friendly outlets, and her appearance is going to
be on those outlets is going to be used by
those in inflicted with Trump derangement syndrome to try to
drive a fissure, to try to drive a fracture between.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
The Mega movement. That's the problem, and it's breaker
