Speaker 2 (01:04):
Welcome to another edition of Carnivor Bites. I'm your host,
Jeff Sherman along with doctor Eric Elopkin. And you know,
we talked about it last week. It's certainly been in
the news, but it's like keeps on coming, and we
talked about this in the prep before the podcast today.
(01:25):
I've never really seen this in any political party in
terms of yeah, every party has a falling out, even
during Clinton when the Gangrich took control of Congress after
like forty years, you know, it never was in Republican control.
I think all the time since FDR, So you know,
every party goes into the wilderness. But this is a
(01:49):
new level. And just to kind of put some facts
into that, there was a Democratic poll and only thirty
nine percent of Democrats. I think the Democratic Party values
work not good.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
No, it's not good for them at all. I think,
you know, you said you've never seen this before. I
think this is the first time that a political party
has ever been this out of touch.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And I think that.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Part of it, part of it is because of social
media and technology and the growing influence of the echo chamber.
That we've been talking about this for almost fifteen years now.
Prior to now, when a party started to fall out
of favor, they were spending time in their districts, they
(02:50):
were talking to their constituents, they were traveling, they actually
heard from people. Now they're only hearing from the die hard.
They're all stuck in the Washington bubble. Look reading no
pro pro democratic media, which is also out of touch.
(03:10):
Take a look at their ratings. So I don't know
that they can help themselves unless they first say, you
know what, we have to get out of this bubble
and actually listen to people. And you know, I have
never been a fan of Hillary Clinton. The one thing
she did, right, was during the twenty sixteen she went
(03:34):
on a listening tour to actually talk to people and
find out what they wanted. What they wanted was.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
She She had her earbit buds in right.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
What they wanted wasn't her, but that she didn't want
to hear. But that's what the Democrats need to do.
They need to get out of Washington, DC. They need
to start talking to people around the country and not
just in their limited congressional districts. They need to talk
(04:08):
to other people because they're not seeing what America is seeing.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen, doctor Lopkin.
I think they're going to have to lose another presidential election.
Here's some reasons why I think it's the case. We'll
talk more about why, because there is the issue of
the government shutdown, but before we get into that, the
reason why, one of the reasons I'll point to this
before we get into others after the shutdown issue, is
(04:40):
that Bernie and AOC are selling selling out like the
Rolling Stones a Lah nineteen seventy five. So I don't know,
you know, a year ago we talked about, you know,
how their influence was waning no, I think I don't
see and progresses bs term. I don't believe the communist
(05:04):
wing of the Democratic Party is fading anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well, I think they have faded to a certain extent,
because that's why they lost the election. If the party
powerful decide they want to keep they want to continue
to cowtow to the far left, they're going to lose
more and more seats. They're going to keep losing the
(05:30):
White House because this is not a recipe for success
in America. It might play very well in limited congressional districts,
but it's certainly not playing well across the country.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I would agree. I think you might be right about
the waning meeting technically, but I think in terms of
you taking up the oxygen, that has not stopped. And
let's be clear for our listeners, what the progressive socialist
communists want for America is what Europe is going through,
and it is absolutely fascinating. Europe has more people the
(06:10):
EU than the United States by about one hundred million
people roughly. Okay, before this all happened, we talked about
this last week. They were at the same level as
the United States in terms of GDP growth, innovation, top
companies all plumbing. I think you have to go down
(06:32):
to thirty before it say European company and their productivity,
their GDP is half that. So all listeners out there
that want the liticity in quotations progressivism, then you're looking
at Europe and you're looking at a country countries also
like England, that were once right up there, that are
(06:55):
now shells of themselves like shells your comments do Lopkin?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, I mean, on the best of days, Europe isn't
what it once was. But to be fair, I think
most Americans don't have an idea of actually what is
going on in Europe because we've heard all of these
celebrities going, oh, I'm going to leave the country. I'm
(07:23):
going to move to Canada. I'm going to move to England.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Well, first of all, Ireland.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yes, yes, Rosie O'Donnell is moving to Ireland. Well, guess what.
Neither Canada, England or Ireland have freedom of the press.
There is no nothing in their constitutions to protect a
free press. England and Canada don't have anything protecting freedom
(07:57):
of speech. Ireland does have some thing that protects free expression,
but it can be taken away anytime. The government wants.
So you are making this determination of what do you want.
You want this progressive world where you don't actually have
(08:20):
any freedoms.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, but you only say yeah, that's true too. Okay,
that's important, but the average person doesn't can really get
impacted by that. What the average person gets impacted by
is economic opportunity, and increasingly there are none in Europe.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Literally, well, yeah, there are fading economic opportunities. But I'm
going to push back on you with it. Doesn't these
freedoms don't affect the average person. Because the UK has
been going after the average person for insulting people on
social media. They actually were demanding that social media companies
(09:06):
give them access to the contact information of not just
their own citizens, but people around the world who are
criticizing the UK government.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
So this is stand corrected once again. That's why you're
the doctor.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yes, one of our stigst allies. And yet they are
cracking down on free speech and they actually stated that
they wanted to extradite people from America that criticized them.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
There is no question about that, and that is a
certainly a relevant situation. But you know, when you use
the term allies, I think you know marriages fade, sometimes
relationships fade. Sometimes relationships are just built. I'm convenience, not
all the time, but sometimes I think allies or allies
(10:06):
because it's based on a particular point in time. I
believe there is an old Europe that is Western Europe
and New Europe, which is Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe has
a lot more in common with the United States and
vice versa than France, England, and basically I would think
has been nations. And that's why I believe Trump rattling
(10:31):
the saber a little bit with NATO. It's very good
in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Your thoughts, Oh, it's definitely a good thing to rattle
the saber. In this case, what we're seeing is that
Europe still has a Cold war mentality, and that's simply
not the case anymore. I'm never going to say that
(10:55):
Putin is a good guy. That's simply not true. But
he's also not the biggest threat we face anymore. China
is a bigger threat. Middle Eastern terrorism is a bigger threat.
So we have to adapt what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
And you know, Europe.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Doesn't seem interested in joining the twenty first century. They're
stuck with their traditions and sometimes it's time to move
past that. And we're seeing.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, but they're all, they're all, But they're also spoiled brats.
Because I looked at a expose on England's defense capabilities
or military capabilities. They fought the Falklands War forty years
ago and a pretty impressive we help them, but a
pretty impressive military engagement. They are so weak now they
(11:54):
fail to be a power at all. Uh So we
because of them, because of us, we've a name them.
They're pathetic losers. They're pathetic politically, ideology wise, ideologically wise,
and military wise. And I think they need to stand
up on their own two feet and they'll think they
will be and we both them and we will be
(12:16):
much better off. And I believe NATO has Basically, yes,
Putin is an ass. I get it more than a
Nassi's a monster. But we certainly didn't help the situation.
Let's just say that.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
No, we didn't help the situation at all. In fact,
when the Soviet Union broke up, part of the agreement
literally stated that NATO would not move one inch closer
to Russia. And then the Clinton administration said, yeah, we
(12:52):
don't need to follow that, so we NATO has been
encroaching on territor. Sorry that in the treaty we guaranteed
we would not encroach on So yes, there's more than
enough blame to go around. The bigger problem, I think
(13:13):
is we've put up with Europe bed mouthing us for years.
Oh you know, we're uncivilized. They don't like the way
we do things, except we are responsible for their defense,
we are responsible for their economy. They have huge tariffs
on our goods going into the EU, huge regulations on
(13:38):
are goods going into the EU, And now they're throwing
a temper tantrum because Trump said, you know what, We're
gonna do this reciprocally. You want the tariffs to go away,
you get rid of yours.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yes, And you know something, the feeble minded people, especially
in mainstream media don't understand that. And even they're too
stupid to understand regulatory tariffs, meaning in Japan you cannot
sell an American car because of regulation. So it's a
implicit tariff that has real world impacts. But before we
(14:15):
move on, we need to address the issue which I
think is hysterical of the government shutdown, which I think,
you know, thirty years ago, was like, oh my god,
you saw I get scared me the first time. I
don't know whatever. Now I'm like a big yawn. I
really could give a shit quite frankly, however, I think
it is funny how when it came under Biden's administration,
(14:36):
it was the worst thing that could ever happen to America.
We may not even survived this, but doctor Lockett looks
like only one Democrat voted for even though all the
funding was still there. Your comments.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, the Republican controlled House pushed through a funding bill
that will take the government to September, which is the
next fiscal year, essentially leaving spending flat with the exception
of a bump in defense spending. And the Democrats are
(15:13):
lockstep with one exception in the House saying they'd rather
shut the government down than give Trump the victory at again.
For years, anytime they were in power and they needed
Republican votes to get something through, Oh my god, a
(15:34):
government shutdown.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
It's horrible, you know, It's like, now, first life, are
you kidding me? Right?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
And the first first of all, the fact of the
matter is, even if the government has a total shutdown,
there are certain agencies that are not affected. Social Security
payments go out during a shutdown, Medicare and Medicaid payments
(16:04):
go continue to go out during a shutdown. Every government
worker that is furloughed for the shutdown gets that time off,
but when they return to work, they get all their
back pay. So the idea that a government shutdown is
(16:24):
catastrophic is a myth pushed by you know, whichever party
doesn't want the shutdown.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Of course, after years of the Democrats pushing that, oh,
a government shutdown is catastrophic, now they want to shut
the government down because they refuse to work with Trump.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
One hundred percent. But I will say yes, both parties
play into that. But as Democrats, because they're so tied
into entitlements and governments, they freak out a little more.
But who wants to split hairs? I don't really care.
But the bigger issue of the Democratic viral is hysterical
and it hits home very close to doctor Eric Elopion,
(17:09):
your congress person. I emphasize that again, your congressperson. The
purple haired genius Rosa Dolora put out a video that
is unwatchable. Did you see the video? First?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Well, first of all, I have to ask you which
one she has.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
She has actually put out over a dozen videos in
the past few weeks because she thinks she's going to
be a TikTok star.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
She had one that you have a seventy year old
person with purple hair trying to say these buzzwords to
try to be cool. Yes, it goes. It's about as
cool as like the sun. There you go. She looks
like a complete idiot. And then there's a clip of
her in a congressional hearing basically outraged because it's sexists
(18:08):
that crash dummies and for our listeners, you have to
see this. Have a beer to I'm not encouraging drinking,
but this is kind of worth it. She's saying that
crash dummies are sexist because they're all men. Either you're
mentally ill or you got way too time much time
on your hands. It's one or the other.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Okay. In terms of the problems that the country is facing,
crash test dummies is pretty low on the list. However,
I actually do have to defend her on this, not
the sexist comment, but a study was done probably about
(18:50):
twenty years ago that showed that men and women are
actually affected differently in car crashes, and there are female
crash tests dummies because of that study. So I don't
know why she's yelling that they need more of them.
They're already being used.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Okay, but her pea brain wasn't talking about the technical aspects.
She was talking about the the wokeness of yes. So
that's yeah. It was talking about yes because women and
men are built differently. Just throw that wild concept out
to everyone. So yeah, But no, she wasn't talking about
the structural implications of ramification. No, she's insane, and I
(19:34):
think she's trying to position we're really fortunate because we're
in Connecticut. We have two rock stars in our myth
Rosa Delora, the purple haired genius, and then we also
have Chris Murphy, the person that walked away from his
house I'm talking financially and now has walked away from
his wife and he has just it's just been uncovered
(19:55):
that he's had a link with Tara mcdowan, a maybe
a third of his age, a super far left. I
use the term reporter, and that's really using the term loosely,
no pun intended, And question doctor Lockin, does it impact
him in any way? I think it does, by the way,
(20:18):
and let me just be clear just for one second,
because yeah, onto itself, who gives a you know what?
But it's that the uh you know though he's a
strong believer in education, but his kids go to private school,
you know, walking away from a house. The guy's less
than exactly stellar. The character leads a little bit. Oh
(20:38):
he has.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
He has no character whatsoever. Non does does this hurt him? Honestly,
I don't think it does because his chances of ever
getting any any political position outside of Connecticut is pretty
close to zero. I mean we we here in Connecticut
(21:01):
have a long history of Democrats thinking they're going to
run for president or be cabinet members, and generally in
the polling they tend to fall somewhere under the margin
of error.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
That is correct, and he's something that's that's why you're
the doctor. And I love this because it applies to
other people like Kamala. The list can go on, and
certainly Biden super low, devoid of talent, but high on
an ambition. Most normal people, like cliniche Wood said, a
man needs to know his limitations, but these people don't.
(21:40):
Chris Murphy basically is maybe a middle manager and that
would be shooting for the stars. Correct.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, I don't even know that he's quality claim to
be middle management.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Claims processor at Dietna. There you go, but hi on ambition.
I'll give him credit for that. Yeah, you're right. I
like that. You know, it's yes, So he's decreased his
chances of winning from point five zero. There you go
something like that that. You know, it's.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
The simple fact of the matter is if you're going
to run for president, and you know this keeps happening
to Connecticut politicians. The whole reason that Murphy is, you know,
trying to push to be a rising star and he's
all over the media, is because he was convinced he
(22:39):
was going to have a cabinet position in a Harris presidency. Well,
bloom Blumenthal did the same thing with the Clinton with
the Hillary Clinton presidency, he was sure he was going
to be head of the Department of Justice. And well,
guess what. They keep backing these candidates that can't win,
(23:04):
and not because they're female, not because it's a woman
of color in Harris's case, because they're simply not qualified.
And the American electorate sees that every time they open
their mouths.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yes, I agree with that one, but it also is
even like Chrissy Dodd Lightweight said best having the audacity,
the hutzpah to think they're ready for prime time. I
think that is absolutely frigging hysterical. But it's not hysterical, though,
is when you have Bill Maher basically saying that they
(23:42):
continue to behave like this, And to set an example,
there's a hearing they have a transwoman now in the
Democratic Party and a Republican said, I yield to whatever
her their name is, and he called the.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Trans male called it mister.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yes, mister, and them freaks out. It's just doesn't play well.
And when you have Bill Maher saying that they may
never win another and I know never, it's just a
term that's used, but it's gonna be a long time.
That's more accurate that they'll ever win a presidential election
(24:21):
if they behave like that, like, for instance, having being
so stupid that Corey Booker not a genius, by the way,
but having like Corey Booker arrange a social media campaign
that everyone says the same thing using the profanity shit.
I guess it was right, not knowing boy genius that
(24:44):
it's social media. Hello, yeah, it's not nineteen ninety. You
can't say that exactly the same thing. And then also
doctor Lapham. There's a lot here, but I just I'll
leave with this. I think it's really kind of interesting
that now they think to get the youth vote, which
they're bleeding, you gotta say swear words.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, they're they're desperate to win back the young vote.
They lost ground with young voters by a tremendous amount
in the twenty twenty four election, and they think the
way to do it is to swear, is to pretend
(25:25):
they know something about video games.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
And you know superhero videos. Remember we were your Defender?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Well that that was actually that was Yes, that was
actually a video game they were. They were trying to
Oh I didn't know that, Kate Mortal Kombat.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I have to give a shout out to my wife
on this because she came across that video where they're
all going choose your defender, And in response to the post,
my wife posted a photo of Tulsi gab and said chosen.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Tell her yes, thumbs up on that one. That's quite good,
but it is cringe worthy. The whole situation. You had
the hearings, you know, a while back, you had the
whole trans thing. It's just really becoming problematic for them.
I don't know how they get, you know, get through this.
(26:25):
Even things like the sanctuary city hearings not a good
look your thoughts. I mean, Mayor Wu the same moron,
and I use the term moron. I'm sure she has
an Ivy League degree, but it certainly does not prevent
her from being an abject moron. The same person that
had the Christmas party with no whites. Talk about an
(26:47):
entitled piece of shit.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah, honestly, I don't know how the Democrats are going
to turn this around unless they actually say, you know what,
we were wrong about our the issues that we chose,
I mean the sanctuary city's and immigration, the transgender issue.
These are issues that nationally eighty percent of the country agrees,
(27:16):
and they're taking the twenty percent side. Well, guess what.
You cannot win a national election if you are against
eighty percent of the population.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Well, well, I don't know about that, Lopkin, because these
people you look at Al Green and others, they're not
exactly mens the candids. Are you sure they know that
high level Matt I'm serious. They made twenty he goes
into eighty, go you know what. I don't know. They
may not, but it's certainly interesting to see.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I mean, actually think it's a bigger problem than that,
because we're seeing now there have been a number of
arrests in political corruption charges here in Connecticut, and everybody
thought this was a local issue, and the folks that
(28:08):
are being charged have publicly said no, no, this comes
from the top of the state Democratic Party. It benefited
and they listed all of our congressmen, all of our senators.
And I'm starting to think that the reason the Democratic
Party isn't paying attention to what Americans think about the
(28:30):
issues is because they've gotten so used to rigging the
elections that they think the voter doesn't matter anymore.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I think that's part of it. But I think the
other part is they're enriching themselves at the voter's expense,
so therefore they're out of touch. They're not connected to
the economy. They're connected to trust funds or slush funds.
More accurately, that that's why they're so outraged dose because
(29:03):
if you cut it's like a spoiled brat on some
kind of inheritance allowance. You cut it off, and little
Biffy's got to get his ass and gear and work
at the gas station.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, I mean talking about the slush funds. Act Blue,
which is a democratic activist group, was getting a ton
of funds from USAID. Now they're actually firing people. People
are leaving before they get prosecuted. But USAID issued a
(29:38):
memo yesterday having people come in to shred their documents
because they don't want the Justice Department to get a
hold of any evidence of what they've been doing.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Certainly, but you know, it is a little interesting because
it's like the basement when you you basically take people
off or fire people in the government. Okay, you do
it by hand. It's kind of interesting. Yeah, shredding's part
of but they're probably so backwards there's no computer linkage
to that. But that's another issue. I think it is
(30:16):
interesting to say USAID Samantha Powers is her name. She
was once an ambassador to Africa. Okay, she's always been
a public servant, probably making a buck fifty something like
that from USAID. You're a smart person. You'd have to
(30:37):
be an investment guru to turn that salary into what
she's currently worth, which is over twelve million. Seems to
be a common theme for Democratic socialists. You know, maybe
it's part of their socialism that they're damn good at investing.
Not the Carl Marx manifesto I believe. No, that doesn't
(30:57):
come out of Marx. But I mean maybe not a
groutcho Marx, but I like that.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Yes, it is amazing how much the Democratic socialists rely
on capitalism to enrich themselves, but they don't want anybody
else being able to do it. Yeah, we've said our buddy.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yep, even our buddy Bernie got thrown out of a
commune for being a lazy shit, is worth probably ten million.
We do the math, so really interesting when you talk
about people who can't do the math. Linda McMahon is
cutting the education budget by a half. Do you know
that the staff I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
She's letting them of half the staff and we're.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Seeing our educational Do you think our educational system will
survive that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Absolutely without I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
It's rhetorical.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Hello Jesus, you're actually seeing this in multiple departments, not
to the extent of the Department of Education, but they're
starting to let people go on a fairly large scale.
And the reason for this is because these departments did
not work and under the Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
They wait, I have to interject, I excuse me, I
know I have to interject. I think that the Department
of Education was among the most effective because, let me
be clear, from nineteen seventy eight, so this so let's
call it roughly a fifty something year, it's fifty years ago.
Whatever it went from. We went forty something years. Oh,
(32:45):
sorry about that. We went from number one in education
to dead last. Now that's pretty effective. Oh yeah, that's effective. No,
come on, you can't do that. You tried doing that.
You're a smart guy. You go from number one to
dead last in less than fifty years.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Of course you can do it.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
It's all up.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
It's it all comes back down to Casey Stengel. It
was a team effort.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Yes, certainly was. But yeah, I don't think anyone's gonna
be singing the blues. I hate How do you like
this concept, Lapkin? I think it does go to the state.
It's gonna further fuel the exodus from blue states. How
do you like that? Because they because how do you
like this? I believe in my little theory that the
constraints will be off Blue states, whatever constraints there are
(33:33):
from the Department of Ed, and they'll be willing to
go full bore woke, and people will It'll just be
more reasons, not that there's not enough now to exit
New York. The list goes on, Am I not correct
in that? I think I am. I think you let
Blue go blue, it's gonna be off the hook. I
(33:55):
don't know how.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Much it'll accelerate the process, because it's going pretty quickly now, but.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
You go much faster than white.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Yeah, you are going to see more people. You're going
to see more opportunities in Red states. And you're already
seeing this. I mean Red states have been turning their
educational systems around for years. It was, you know, they
were the joke. They were hill buildings, dummy couldn't read.
And now they're actually turning back the clock on their
(34:27):
educational systems and bringing back things like phonics, like actually teaching.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Math and what the hell is going on here? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
That's outrageous. That's outrageous, and the other thing on that.
I do think we talked about it last week, So
I did not forget, but you think about it, if
you really do a deep dive on how bad things are.
We talked about that case in Hartford, that young lady
(34:54):
who was like at the top of her class, right
but couldn't read or yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Completely illiterate according to her, and graduated with honors.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Okay, and then you got to take a real gasp.
She got into Yukon. There's people that would give their right, yeah,
with a scholarship and I can can how do you
like this? She would have got she would have passed Yukon. No,
I'm not kidding with you.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Not Yukon would have graduated her.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
There you go, So there you go. Well, the Department
of ed that ship cannot sail quick enough. And there's
also you know, talking about you know, the Democratic Mind
Center lock there up. You know, carbon footprint is so
huge you don't even want to burn leaves, but you
can burn Tesler chargers, dealership cars. A lot of plastic
(35:54):
in those things. That's highly that's a highly contributory to
the UH to the instruction of the ozone and global warming.
So why is it, Okay, I don't understand that, And
you're burning electric car vehicle infrastructure isn't that like basically sacrilegious.
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Pretty much? I mean, it goes to show that they
don't really care about the environment.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
The whole thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
The whole electric car, anti fossil fuel had nothing to
do with the environment. It was all about an anti business.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Thank you, and and also a Ponzi scheme as well.
It was a flush fun and anti business and control,
as quoting Marx, of the means of production. That's all
it was about. They didn't give a shit, They didn't
even know what it was.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
No, it's they've been very quick to show their true
colors over the last two months because all of these
issues that they were so passionate about electric cars avoiding
government shutdowns, as we said earlier, they're throwing them all
(37:10):
out the window in what is essentially just a massive
temper tantrum. And I find it hysterical when they they claim, well,
we're the resistance. Really, where where were you during the
Obama administration when he prosecuted more government whistleblowers than every
(37:34):
president before him combined. Where were they when they were
hiding Biden's mental faculties.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Well, no, he was up for the job. He just
used an auto signer because he had carpal tunnel. Correct. Yes,
he was.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Running circles around everybody behind closed doors. As John said
on numerous occasions, the idea that this is a resistance
and that they they're actually have the moral high ground
is full. They're throwing a temper tantrum. And now, as
(38:15):
we saw over the weekend at Tesla dealerships and charging stations,
that temper tantrum is actually turning violent.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Well, that's not that's in their playbook violence. The Republican
has a tea party rally. That's over the top. I mean,
you can burn chargers. What if some guy hurt. They
don't know who's in that dealership. Yeah, it could be late,
maybe someone's working late and you burn the place down.
You could have killed someone, yes, kill well, I mean
(38:45):
that's possible.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
But you're setting fire to electric chargers. I mean that
can cause explosions. That's gonna hurt people. You know that
don't even have to be standing right there. These are
you know, there's a lot going on here. It is
absolutely ridiculous that they have degenerated that quickly. Two you know,
(39:11):
it just blows their story of any moral high ground
they've lost it.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Yeah, they lost it and they and they and I
think time is running out, Like we use the analogy
of drug ethic an alcoholic. You know, time is not
on your side. If you don't get help, things are
gonna go bad real quickly. And they're going really bad.
I mean, you have Bill Maher, you have their own
internal polling. You know, thirty nine percent of Democrats believe
(39:37):
they don't believe in work. I mean, it's it's it's
got they gotta. I believe you're the doctor. I think
if Trump continues to ascend, and by the way, there
might actually be a cease fire, okay, which I think
is fantastic. Obviously is fantastic, but it's one more. What
(39:59):
do you Let's have the doctor analyze that. Let's just
say there is a cease fire in Ukraine. Okay, there
is a ceasefire. What does that do to the whole
situation with the UH, with the Democrats? I mean, four
years of numb nuts and all of a sudden, two
(40:20):
months of Trump, there's a ceasefire. Doesn't look good, does
not look good.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
No, but it's also just par for the course. I mean,
remember the Biden administration said their hands were tied on
the border. There was nothing they could do without legislation,
and the Republicans were blocking the legislation. Trump came in
six weeks later. Border's already secure. Four years of Biden's inflation,
(40:50):
Oh there's nothing we can do. It's it's it started out.
It's transitory. Now now the Democrats have been yelling, well,
he's been in office for six weeks, why has he
fixed it yet? Core inflation came out today, lower than expected.
It's go. It's starting to turn around.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Yeah, but is here a bigger issue? Lopkin? I agree
in job openings have just ticked up, even though they
had a dad a little bit less than expected before.
But I mean, isn't it really don't even isn't the
average person not just political walks, but the average person
started thinking, I think this is happening. Say whose side
are you on? Because they're cheering for our defeat. Yeah,
(41:34):
politics are politics, but you kind of have to say, oh,
this is great, that's great, we're on board with this.
You can't always be the Debbie downer because the average
person can say, what are you for? But you're saying,
we don't want to cease fire like really.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Yeah, they don't want to cease fire. They don't want
to work with other you know, with countries across the
you know, the political spec drum. I honestly think what's
going to be the demise of the Democratic Party, as
though it hasn't fallen apart already, is when people actually
(42:13):
see prices coming down. And everybody's been talking about egg prices.
Egg prices are d actually lower, they are coming down.
So when people can go to the grocery, spend one
hundred dollars and get down to yes and get more
than they were getting during the Biden administration, they're going
(42:37):
to start going, oh, wait a minute, the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Yeah, I agree, I agree with that, But also your strategist,
aren't they petulant children? If you're going to say something,
you need to give something more time, like they were
freaking Alley hasn't been was in office for a month
and they're talking about egg prices. But then you kind
of lose your credibility when they start going down. But now,
(43:03):
what do you say they.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
Lost their credibility when they started because they were going
off about inflation that they caused.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
Creative you know, well, the thing already loaded begin with Yes.
There were some hearings as well with some Ivy League,
Barnard colleges and mothers. I don't think that hurt helps
the face or the image of the Democratic Party when
it's got it's been going on for over a year now,
(43:33):
these Palestinian radicals, okay, a lot of it's astro turfed Columbia.
I love that they got some defunding. Uh. I think
the whole thing does not help, you know, in terms
of what's going on.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
They're branding no because they've chosen to take their stands
in the worst possible cases. The sanctuary cities. You know, again,
we're eighty percent of the country says no, we want
these people deported. And I'm and I mean the one
that blew me away, and I'm blanking on the name
(44:11):
of the Democratic lawmaker that said this. But she has
been pegged as a rising star in the Democratic Party
and she came out on an interview saying crossing the
border illegally is not a crime.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
Well, if you is that the one that did the rebuttal.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
I don't think it was. I think it was another.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Okay, so it's hard.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
It absolutely cracked me up because Judge Janine Piro on
Fox actually quoted the article number that makes it a
crime and says what you would get if you are
found guilty of this? So, yes, fact it is a crime.
And you know they're on a air of what a
(45:00):
crime is? What do you expect from people that can't
define what a woman is? But you're more and more
they're choosing the wrong hill to die on, and I well,
they're so indoctriated.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
I don't think choice is really the operative word. I
think it's it's habit, it's habitual. At this point, they
can't help themselves. I'm dead serious. They're beyond rational thought
at this point in time.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yes, it could be. You know, there's a great video
that Robert Wright released. Now if all of our listeners
don't know who he is, economists, Yeah, he's an economist.
He worked in the Ford administration, he worked in the
Carter administration, so he is, you know, by party bipartisan.
(45:49):
He's also was in the cabinet of Bill Clinton. And
he actually came out with the video telling Democrats what
they need to do to turn the party. And if
you listen closely, what he is saying they need to
do is exactly what Trump is.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Doing that will be hard for them to follow. But
I don't think it's hard for our listeners to follow us,
is it. It's not.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Welcome to another edition of Carnivor Bites. I'm your host,
Jeff Sherman along with doctor Eric Elopkin. And you know,
we talked about it last week. It's certainly been in
the news, but it's like keeps on coming, and we
talked about this in the prep before the podcast today.
(01:25):
I've never really seen this in any political party in
terms of yeah, every party has a falling out, even
during Clinton when the Gangrich took control of Congress after
like forty years, you know, it never was in Republican control.
I think all the time since FDR, So you know,
every party goes into the wilderness. But this is a
(01:49):
new level. And just to kind of put some facts
into that, there was a Democratic poll and only thirty
nine percent of Democrats. I think the Democratic Party values
work not good.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
No, it's not good for them at all. I think,
you know, you said you've never seen this before. I
think this is the first time that a political party
has ever been this out of touch.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And I think that.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Part of it, part of it is because of social
media and technology and the growing influence of the echo chamber.
That we've been talking about this for almost fifteen years now.
Prior to now, when a party started to fall out
of favor, they were spending time in their districts, they
(02:50):
were talking to their constituents, they were traveling, they actually
heard from people. Now they're only hearing from the die hard.
They're all stuck in the Washington bubble. Look reading no
pro pro democratic media, which is also out of touch.
(03:10):
Take a look at their ratings. So I don't know
that they can help themselves unless they first say, you
know what, we have to get out of this bubble
and actually listen to people. And you know, I have
never been a fan of Hillary Clinton. The one thing
she did, right, was during the twenty sixteen she went
(03:34):
on a listening tour to actually talk to people and
find out what they wanted. What they wanted was.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
She She had her earbit buds in right.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
What they wanted wasn't her, but that she didn't want
to hear. But that's what the Democrats need to do.
They need to get out of Washington, DC. They need
to start talking to people around the country and not
just in their limited congressional districts. They need to talk
(04:08):
to other people because they're not seeing what America is seeing.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen, doctor Lopkin.
I think they're going to have to lose another presidential election.
Here's some reasons why I think it's the case. We'll
talk more about why, because there is the issue of
the government shutdown, but before we get into that, the
reason why, one of the reasons I'll point to this
before we get into others after the shutdown issue, is
(04:40):
that Bernie and AOC are selling selling out like the
Rolling Stones a Lah nineteen seventy five. So I don't know,
you know, a year ago we talked about, you know,
how their influence was waning no, I think I don't
see and progresses bs term. I don't believe the communist
(05:04):
wing of the Democratic Party is fading anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well, I think they have faded to a certain extent,
because that's why they lost the election. If the party
powerful decide they want to keep they want to continue
to cowtow to the far left, they're going to lose
more and more seats. They're going to keep losing the
(05:30):
White House because this is not a recipe for success
in America. It might play very well in limited congressional districts,
but it's certainly not playing well across the country.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I would agree. I think you might be right about
the waning meeting technically, but I think in terms of
you taking up the oxygen, that has not stopped. And
let's be clear for our listeners, what the progressive socialist
communists want for America is what Europe is going through,
and it is absolutely fascinating. Europe has more people the
(06:10):
EU than the United States by about one hundred million
people roughly. Okay, before this all happened, we talked about
this last week. They were at the same level as
the United States in terms of GDP growth, innovation, top
companies all plumbing. I think you have to go down
(06:32):
to thirty before it say European company and their productivity,
their GDP is half that. So all listeners out there
that want the liticity in quotations progressivism, then you're looking
at Europe and you're looking at a country countries also
like England, that were once right up there, that are
(06:55):
now shells of themselves like shells your comments do Lopkin?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, I mean, on the best of days, Europe isn't
what it once was. But to be fair, I think
most Americans don't have an idea of actually what is
going on in Europe because we've heard all of these
celebrities going, oh, I'm going to leave the country. I'm
(07:23):
going to move to Canada. I'm going to move to England.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Well, first of all, Ireland.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yes, yes, Rosie O'Donnell is moving to Ireland. Well, guess what.
Neither Canada, England or Ireland have freedom of the press.
There is no nothing in their constitutions to protect a
free press. England and Canada don't have anything protecting freedom
(07:57):
of speech. Ireland does have some thing that protects free expression,
but it can be taken away anytime. The government wants.
So you are making this determination of what do you want.
You want this progressive world where you don't actually have
(08:20):
any freedoms.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, but you only say yeah, that's true too. Okay,
that's important, but the average person doesn't can really get
impacted by that. What the average person gets impacted by
is economic opportunity, and increasingly there are none in Europe.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Literally, well, yeah, there are fading economic opportunities. But I'm
going to push back on you with it. Doesn't these
freedoms don't affect the average person. Because the UK has
been going after the average person for insulting people on
social media. They actually were demanding that social media companies
(09:06):
give them access to the contact information of not just
their own citizens, but people around the world who are
criticizing the UK government.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
So this is stand corrected once again. That's why you're
the doctor.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yes, one of our stigst allies. And yet they are
cracking down on free speech and they actually stated that
they wanted to extradite people from America that criticized them.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
There is no question about that, and that is a
certainly a relevant situation. But you know, when you use
the term allies, I think you know marriages fade, sometimes
relationships fade. Sometimes relationships are just built. I'm convenience, not
all the time, but sometimes I think allies or allies
(10:06):
because it's based on a particular point in time. I
believe there is an old Europe that is Western Europe
and New Europe, which is Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe has
a lot more in common with the United States and
vice versa than France, England, and basically I would think
has been nations. And that's why I believe Trump rattling
(10:31):
the saber a little bit with NATO. It's very good
in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Your thoughts, Oh, it's definitely a good thing to rattle
the saber. In this case, what we're seeing is that
Europe still has a Cold war mentality, and that's simply
not the case anymore. I'm never going to say that
(10:55):
Putin is a good guy. That's simply not true. But
he's also not the biggest threat we face anymore. China
is a bigger threat. Middle Eastern terrorism is a bigger threat.
So we have to adapt what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
And you know, Europe.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Doesn't seem interested in joining the twenty first century. They're
stuck with their traditions and sometimes it's time to move
past that. And we're seeing.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, but they're all, they're all, But they're also spoiled brats.
Because I looked at a expose on England's defense capabilities
or military capabilities. They fought the Falklands War forty years
ago and a pretty impressive we help them, but a
pretty impressive military engagement. They are so weak now they
(11:54):
fail to be a power at all. Uh So we
because of them, because of us, we've a name them.
They're pathetic losers. They're pathetic politically, ideology wise, ideologically wise,
and military wise. And I think they need to stand
up on their own two feet and they'll think they
will be and we both them and we will be
(12:16):
much better off. And I believe NATO has Basically, yes,
Putin is an ass. I get it more than a
Nassi's a monster. But we certainly didn't help the situation.
Let's just say that.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
No, we didn't help the situation at all. In fact,
when the Soviet Union broke up, part of the agreement
literally stated that NATO would not move one inch closer
to Russia. And then the Clinton administration said, yeah, we
(12:52):
don't need to follow that, so we NATO has been
encroaching on territor. Sorry that in the treaty we guaranteed
we would not encroach on So yes, there's more than
enough blame to go around. The bigger problem, I think
(13:13):
is we've put up with Europe bed mouthing us for years.
Oh you know, we're uncivilized. They don't like the way
we do things, except we are responsible for their defense,
we are responsible for their economy. They have huge tariffs
on our goods going into the EU, huge regulations on
(13:38):
are goods going into the EU, And now they're throwing
a temper tantrum because Trump said, you know what, We're
gonna do this reciprocally. You want the tariffs to go away,
you get rid of yours.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yes, And you know something, the feeble minded people, especially
in mainstream media don't understand that. And even they're too
stupid to understand regulatory tariffs, meaning in Japan you cannot
sell an American car because of regulation. So it's a
implicit tariff that has real world impacts. But before we
(14:15):
move on, we need to address the issue which I
think is hysterical of the government shutdown, which I think,
you know, thirty years ago, was like, oh my god,
you saw I get scared me the first time. I
don't know whatever. Now I'm like a big yawn. I
really could give a shit quite frankly, however, I think
it is funny how when it came under Biden's administration,
(14:36):
it was the worst thing that could ever happen to America.
We may not even survived this, but doctor Lockett looks
like only one Democrat voted for even though all the
funding was still there. Your comments.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, the Republican controlled House pushed through a funding bill
that will take the government to September, which is the
next fiscal year, essentially leaving spending flat with the exception
of a bump in defense spending. And the Democrats are
(15:13):
lockstep with one exception in the House saying they'd rather
shut the government down than give Trump the victory at again.
For years, anytime they were in power and they needed
Republican votes to get something through, Oh my god, a
(15:34):
government shutdown.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
It's horrible, you know, It's like, now, first life, are
you kidding me? Right?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
And the first first of all, the fact of the
matter is, even if the government has a total shutdown,
there are certain agencies that are not affected. Social Security
payments go out during a shutdown, Medicare and Medicaid payments
(16:04):
go continue to go out during a shutdown. Every government
worker that is furloughed for the shutdown gets that time off,
but when they return to work, they get all their
back pay. So the idea that a government shutdown is
(16:24):
catastrophic is a myth pushed by you know, whichever party
doesn't want the shutdown.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Of course, after years of the Democrats pushing that, oh,
a government shutdown is catastrophic, now they want to shut
the government down because they refuse to work with Trump.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
One hundred percent. But I will say yes, both parties
play into that. But as Democrats, because they're so tied
into entitlements and governments, they freak out a little more.
But who wants to split hairs? I don't really care.
But the bigger issue of the Democratic viral is hysterical
and it hits home very close to doctor Eric Elopion,
(17:09):
your congress person. I emphasize that again, your congressperson. The
purple haired genius Rosa Dolora put out a video that
is unwatchable. Did you see the video? First?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Well, first of all, I have to ask you which
one she has.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
She has actually put out over a dozen videos in
the past few weeks because she thinks she's going to
be a TikTok star.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
She had one that you have a seventy year old
person with purple hair trying to say these buzzwords to
try to be cool. Yes, it goes. It's about as
cool as like the sun. There you go. She looks
like a complete idiot. And then there's a clip of
her in a congressional hearing basically outraged because it's sexists
(18:08):
that crash dummies and for our listeners, you have to
see this. Have a beer to I'm not encouraging drinking,
but this is kind of worth it. She's saying that
crash dummies are sexist because they're all men. Either you're
mentally ill or you got way too time much time
on your hands. It's one or the other.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Okay. In terms of the problems that the country is facing,
crash test dummies is pretty low on the list. However,
I actually do have to defend her on this, not
the sexist comment, but a study was done probably about
(18:50):
twenty years ago that showed that men and women are
actually affected differently in car crashes, and there are female
crash tests dummies because of that study. So I don't
know why she's yelling that they need more of them.
They're already being used.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Okay, but her pea brain wasn't talking about the technical aspects.
She was talking about the the wokeness of yes. So
that's yeah. It was talking about yes because women and
men are built differently. Just throw that wild concept out
to everyone. So yeah, But no, she wasn't talking about
the structural implications of ramification. No, she's insane, and I
(19:34):
think she's trying to position we're really fortunate because we're
in Connecticut. We have two rock stars in our myth
Rosa Delora, the purple haired genius, and then we also
have Chris Murphy, the person that walked away from his
house I'm talking financially and now has walked away from
his wife and he has just it's just been uncovered
(19:55):
that he's had a link with Tara mcdowan, a maybe
a third of his age, a super far left. I
use the term reporter, and that's really using the term loosely,
no pun intended, And question doctor Lockin, does it impact
him in any way? I think it does, by the way,
(20:18):
and let me just be clear just for one second,
because yeah, onto itself, who gives a you know what?
But it's that the uh you know though he's a
strong believer in education, but his kids go to private school,
you know, walking away from a house. The guy's less
than exactly stellar. The character leads a little bit. Oh
(20:38):
he has.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
He has no character whatsoever. Non does does this hurt him? Honestly,
I don't think it does because his chances of ever
getting any any political position outside of Connecticut is pretty
close to zero. I mean we we here in Connecticut
(21:01):
have a long history of Democrats thinking they're going to
run for president or be cabinet members, and generally in
the polling they tend to fall somewhere under the margin
of error.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
That is correct, and he's something that's that's why you're
the doctor. And I love this because it applies to
other people like Kamala. The list can go on, and
certainly Biden super low, devoid of talent, but high on
an ambition. Most normal people, like cliniche Wood said, a
man needs to know his limitations, but these people don't.
(21:40):
Chris Murphy basically is maybe a middle manager and that
would be shooting for the stars. Correct.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, I don't even know that he's quality claim to
be middle management.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Claims processor at Dietna. There you go, but hi on ambition.
I'll give him credit for that. Yeah, you're right. I
like that. You know, it's yes, So he's decreased his
chances of winning from point five zero. There you go
something like that that. You know, it's.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
The simple fact of the matter is if you're going
to run for president, and you know this keeps happening
to Connecticut politicians. The whole reason that Murphy is, you know,
trying to push to be a rising star and he's
all over the media, is because he was convinced he
(22:39):
was going to have a cabinet position in a Harris presidency. Well,
bloom Blumenthal did the same thing with the Clinton with
the Hillary Clinton presidency, he was sure he was going
to be head of the Department of Justice. And well,
guess what. They keep backing these candidates that can't win,
(23:04):
and not because they're female, not because it's a woman
of color in Harris's case, because they're simply not qualified.
And the American electorate sees that every time they open
their mouths.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yes, I agree with that one, but it also is
even like Chrissy Dodd Lightweight said best having the audacity,
the hutzpah to think they're ready for prime time. I
think that is absolutely frigging hysterical. But it's not hysterical, though,
is when you have Bill Maher basically saying that they
(23:42):
continue to behave like this, And to set an example,
there's a hearing they have a transwoman now in the
Democratic Party and a Republican said, I yield to whatever
her their name is, and he called the.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Trans male called it mister.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yes, mister, and them freaks out. It's just doesn't play well.
And when you have Bill Maher saying that they may
never win another and I know never, it's just a
term that's used, but it's gonna be a long time.
That's more accurate that they'll ever win a presidential election
(24:21):
if they behave like that, like, for instance, having being
so stupid that Corey Booker not a genius, by the way,
but having like Corey Booker arrange a social media campaign
that everyone says the same thing using the profanity shit.
I guess it was right, not knowing boy genius that
(24:44):
it's social media. Hello, yeah, it's not nineteen ninety. You
can't say that exactly the same thing. And then also
doctor Lapham. There's a lot here, but I just I'll
leave with this. I think it's really kind of interesting
that now they think to get the youth vote, which
they're bleeding, you gotta say swear words.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, they're they're desperate to win back the young vote.
They lost ground with young voters by a tremendous amount
in the twenty twenty four election, and they think the
way to do it is to swear, is to pretend
(25:25):
they know something about video games.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
And you know superhero videos. Remember we were your Defender?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Well that that was actually that was Yes, that was
actually a video game they were. They were trying to
Oh I didn't know that, Kate Mortal Kombat.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I have to give a shout out to my wife
on this because she came across that video where they're
all going choose your defender, And in response to the post,
my wife posted a photo of Tulsi gab and said chosen.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Tell her yes, thumbs up on that one. That's quite good,
but it is cringe worthy. The whole situation. You had
the hearings, you know, a while back, you had the
whole trans thing. It's just really becoming problematic for them.
I don't know how they get, you know, get through this.
(26:25):
Even things like the sanctuary city hearings not a good
look your thoughts. I mean, Mayor Wu the same moron,
and I use the term moron. I'm sure she has
an Ivy League degree, but it certainly does not prevent
her from being an abject moron. The same person that
had the Christmas party with no whites. Talk about an
(26:47):
entitled piece of shit.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah, honestly, I don't know how the Democrats are going
to turn this around unless they actually say, you know what,
we were wrong about our the issues that we chose,
I mean the sanctuary city's and immigration, the transgender issue.
These are issues that nationally eighty percent of the country agrees,
(27:16):
and they're taking the twenty percent side. Well, guess what.
You cannot win a national election if you are against
eighty percent of the population.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Well, well, I don't know about that, Lopkin, because these
people you look at Al Green and others, they're not
exactly mens the candids. Are you sure they know that
high level Matt I'm serious. They made twenty he goes
into eighty, go you know what. I don't know. They
may not, but it's certainly interesting to see.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I mean, actually think it's a bigger problem than that,
because we're seeing now there have been a number of
arrests in political corruption charges here in Connecticut, and everybody
thought this was a local issue, and the folks that
(28:08):
are being charged have publicly said no, no, this comes
from the top of the state Democratic Party. It benefited
and they listed all of our congressmen, all of our senators.
And I'm starting to think that the reason the Democratic
Party isn't paying attention to what Americans think about the
(28:30):
issues is because they've gotten so used to rigging the
elections that they think the voter doesn't matter anymore.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I think that's part of it. But I think the
other part is they're enriching themselves at the voter's expense,
so therefore they're out of touch. They're not connected to
the economy. They're connected to trust funds or slush funds.
More accurately, that that's why they're so outraged dose because
(29:03):
if you cut it's like a spoiled brat on some
kind of inheritance allowance. You cut it off, and little
Biffy's got to get his ass and gear and work
at the gas station.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, I mean talking about the slush funds. Act Blue,
which is a democratic activist group, was getting a ton
of funds from USAID. Now they're actually firing people. People
are leaving before they get prosecuted. But USAID issued a
(29:38):
memo yesterday having people come in to shred their documents
because they don't want the Justice Department to get a
hold of any evidence of what they've been doing.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Certainly, but you know, it is a little interesting because
it's like the basement when you you basically take people
off or fire people in the government. Okay, you do
it by hand. It's kind of interesting. Yeah, shredding's part
of but they're probably so backwards there's no computer linkage
to that. But that's another issue. I think it is
(30:16):
interesting to say USAID Samantha Powers is her name. She
was once an ambassador to Africa. Okay, she's always been
a public servant, probably making a buck fifty something like
that from USAID. You're a smart person. You'd have to
(30:37):
be an investment guru to turn that salary into what
she's currently worth, which is over twelve million. Seems to
be a common theme for Democratic socialists. You know, maybe
it's part of their socialism that they're damn good at investing.
Not the Carl Marx manifesto I believe. No, that doesn't
(30:57):
come out of Marx. But I mean maybe not a
groutcho Marx, but I like that.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Yes, it is amazing how much the Democratic socialists rely
on capitalism to enrich themselves, but they don't want anybody
else being able to do it. Yeah, we've said our buddy.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yep, even our buddy Bernie got thrown out of a
commune for being a lazy shit, is worth probably ten million.
We do the math, so really interesting when you talk
about people who can't do the math. Linda McMahon is
cutting the education budget by a half. Do you know
that the staff I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
She's letting them of half the staff and we're.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Seeing our educational Do you think our educational system will
survive that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Absolutely without I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
It's rhetorical.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Hello Jesus, you're actually seeing this in multiple departments, not
to the extent of the Department of Education, but they're
starting to let people go on a fairly large scale.
And the reason for this is because these departments did
not work and under the Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
They wait, I have to interject, I excuse me, I
know I have to interject. I think that the Department
of Education was among the most effective because, let me
be clear, from nineteen seventy eight, so this so let's
call it roughly a fifty something year, it's fifty years ago.
Whatever it went from. We went forty something years. Oh,
(32:45):
sorry about that. We went from number one in education
to dead last. Now that's pretty effective. Oh yeah, that's effective. No,
come on, you can't do that. You tried doing that.
You're a smart guy. You go from number one to
dead last in less than fifty years.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Of course you can do it.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
It's all up.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
It's it all comes back down to Casey Stengel. It
was a team effort.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Yes, certainly was. But yeah, I don't think anyone's gonna
be singing the blues. I hate How do you like
this concept, Lapkin? I think it does go to the state.
It's gonna further fuel the exodus from blue states. How
do you like that? Because they because how do you
like this? I believe in my little theory that the
constraints will be off Blue states, whatever constraints there are
(33:33):
from the Department of Ed, and they'll be willing to
go full bore woke, and people will It'll just be
more reasons, not that there's not enough now to exit
New York. The list goes on, Am I not correct
in that? I think I am. I think you let
Blue go blue, it's gonna be off the hook. I
(33:55):
don't know how.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Much it'll accelerate the process, because it's going pretty quickly now, but.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
You go much faster than white.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Yeah, you are going to see more people. You're going
to see more opportunities in Red states. And you're already
seeing this. I mean Red states have been turning their
educational systems around for years. It was, you know, they
were the joke. They were hill buildings, dummy couldn't read.
And now they're actually turning back the clock on their
(34:27):
educational systems and bringing back things like phonics, like actually teaching.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Math and what the hell is going on here? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
That's outrageous. That's outrageous, and the other thing on that.
I do think we talked about it last week, So
I did not forget, but you think about it, if
you really do a deep dive on how bad things are.
We talked about that case in Hartford, that young lady
(34:54):
who was like at the top of her class, right
but couldn't read or yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Completely illiterate according to her, and graduated with honors.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Okay, and then you got to take a real gasp.
She got into Yukon. There's people that would give their right, yeah,
with a scholarship and I can can how do you
like this? She would have got she would have passed Yukon. No,
I'm not kidding with you.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Not Yukon would have graduated her.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
There you go, So there you go. Well, the Department
of ed that ship cannot sail quick enough. And there's
also you know, talking about you know, the Democratic Mind
Center lock there up. You know, carbon footprint is so
huge you don't even want to burn leaves, but you
can burn Tesler chargers, dealership cars. A lot of plastic
(35:54):
in those things. That's highly that's a highly contributory to
the UH to the instruction of the ozone and global warming.
So why is it, Okay, I don't understand that, And
you're burning electric car vehicle infrastructure isn't that like basically sacrilegious.
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Pretty much? I mean, it goes to show that they
don't really care about the environment.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
The whole thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
The whole electric car, anti fossil fuel had nothing to
do with the environment. It was all about an anti business.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Thank you, and and also a Ponzi scheme as well.
It was a flush fun and anti business and control,
as quoting Marx, of the means of production. That's all
it was about. They didn't give a shit, They didn't
even know what it was.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
No, it's they've been very quick to show their true
colors over the last two months because all of these
issues that they were so passionate about electric cars avoiding
government shutdowns, as we said earlier, they're throwing them all
(37:10):
out the window in what is essentially just a massive
temper tantrum. And I find it hysterical when they they claim, well,
we're the resistance. Really, where where were you during the
Obama administration when he prosecuted more government whistleblowers than every
(37:34):
president before him combined. Where were they when they were
hiding Biden's mental faculties.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Well, no, he was up for the job. He just
used an auto signer because he had carpal tunnel. Correct. Yes,
he was.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Running circles around everybody behind closed doors. As John said
on numerous occasions, the idea that this is a resistance
and that they they're actually have the moral high ground
is full. They're throwing a temper tantrum. And now, as
(38:15):
we saw over the weekend at Tesla dealerships and charging stations,
that temper tantrum is actually turning violent.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Well, that's not that's in their playbook violence. The Republican
has a tea party rally. That's over the top. I mean,
you can burn chargers. What if some guy hurt. They
don't know who's in that dealership. Yeah, it could be late,
maybe someone's working late and you burn the place down.
You could have killed someone, yes, kill well, I mean
(38:45):
that's possible.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
But you're setting fire to electric chargers. I mean that
can cause explosions. That's gonna hurt people. You know that
don't even have to be standing right there. These are
you know, there's a lot going on here. It is
absolutely ridiculous that they have degenerated that quickly. Two you know,
(39:11):
it just blows their story of any moral high ground
they've lost it.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Yeah, they lost it and they and they and I
think time is running out, Like we use the analogy
of drug ethic an alcoholic. You know, time is not
on your side. If you don't get help, things are
gonna go bad real quickly. And they're going really bad.
I mean, you have Bill Maher, you have their own
internal polling. You know, thirty nine percent of Democrats believe
(39:37):
they don't believe in work. I mean, it's it's it's
got they gotta. I believe you're the doctor. I think
if Trump continues to ascend, and by the way, there
might actually be a cease fire, okay, which I think
is fantastic. Obviously is fantastic, but it's one more. What
(39:59):
do you Let's have the doctor analyze that. Let's just
say there is a cease fire in Ukraine. Okay, there
is a ceasefire. What does that do to the whole
situation with the UH, with the Democrats? I mean, four
years of numb nuts and all of a sudden, two
(40:20):
months of Trump, there's a ceasefire. Doesn't look good, does
not look good.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
No, but it's also just par for the course. I mean,
remember the Biden administration said their hands were tied on
the border. There was nothing they could do without legislation,
and the Republicans were blocking the legislation. Trump came in
six weeks later. Border's already secure. Four years of Biden's inflation,
(40:50):
Oh there's nothing we can do. It's it's it started out.
It's transitory. Now now the Democrats have been yelling, well,
he's been in office for six weeks, why has he
fixed it yet? Core inflation came out today, lower than expected.
It's go. It's starting to turn around.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Yeah, but is here a bigger issue? Lopkin? I agree
in job openings have just ticked up, even though they
had a dad a little bit less than expected before.
But I mean, isn't it really don't even isn't the
average person not just political walks, but the average person
started thinking, I think this is happening. Say whose side
are you on? Because they're cheering for our defeat. Yeah,
(41:34):
politics are politics, but you kind of have to say, oh,
this is great, that's great, we're on board with this.
You can't always be the Debbie downer because the average
person can say, what are you for? But you're saying,
we don't want to cease fire like really.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Yeah, they don't want to cease fire. They don't want
to work with other you know, with countries across the
you know, the political spec drum. I honestly think what's
going to be the demise of the Democratic Party, as
though it hasn't fallen apart already, is when people actually
(42:13):
see prices coming down. And everybody's been talking about egg prices.
Egg prices are d actually lower, they are coming down.
So when people can go to the grocery, spend one
hundred dollars and get down to yes and get more
than they were getting during the Biden administration, they're going
(42:37):
to start going, oh, wait a minute, the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Yeah, I agree, I agree with that, But also your strategist,
aren't they petulant children? If you're going to say something,
you need to give something more time, like they were
freaking Alley hasn't been was in office for a month
and they're talking about egg prices. But then you kind
of lose your credibility when they start going down. But now,
(43:03):
what do you say they.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
Lost their credibility when they started because they were going
off about inflation that they caused.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
Creative you know, well, the thing already loaded begin with Yes.
There were some hearings as well with some Ivy League,
Barnard colleges and mothers. I don't think that hurt helps
the face or the image of the Democratic Party when
it's got it's been going on for over a year now,
(43:33):
these Palestinian radicals, okay, a lot of it's astro turfed Columbia.
I love that they got some defunding. Uh. I think
the whole thing does not help, you know, in terms
of what's going on.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
They're branding no because they've chosen to take their stands
in the worst possible cases. The sanctuary cities. You know, again,
we're eighty percent of the country says no, we want
these people deported. And I'm and I mean the one
that blew me away, and I'm blanking on the name
(44:11):
of the Democratic lawmaker that said this. But she has
been pegged as a rising star in the Democratic Party
and she came out on an interview saying crossing the
border illegally is not a crime.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
Well, if you is that the one that did the rebuttal.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
I don't think it was. I think it was another.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Okay, so it's hard.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
It absolutely cracked me up because Judge Janine Piro on
Fox actually quoted the article number that makes it a
crime and says what you would get if you are
found guilty of this? So, yes, fact it is a crime.
And you know they're on a air of what a
(45:00):
crime is? What do you expect from people that can't
define what a woman is? But you're more and more
they're choosing the wrong hill to die on, and I well,
they're so indoctriated.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
I don't think choice is really the operative word. I
think it's it's habit, it's habitual. At this point, they
can't help themselves. I'm dead serious. They're beyond rational thought
at this point in time.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yes, it could be. You know, there's a great video
that Robert Wright released. Now if all of our listeners
don't know who he is, economists, Yeah, he's an economist.
He worked in the Ford administration, he worked in the
Carter administration, so he is, you know, by party bipartisan.
(45:49):
He's also was in the cabinet of Bill Clinton. And
he actually came out with the video telling Democrats what
they need to do to turn the party. And if
you listen closely, what he is saying they need to
do is exactly what Trump is.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Doing that will be hard for them to follow. But
I don't think it's hard for our listeners to follow us,
is it. It's not.
