Speaker 2 (01:04):
Welcome to another edition of Carnivor Bites. I'm your host,
Jeff Sherman, along with doctor Eric Lopkin and doctor Lopkin.
Quite quite a week since our last podcast, and we're
going to start with a quasi state of the Union
by Trump, and I'm still reeling from it, reeling from

(01:28):
the disarray of the Democratic Party. We always talked, even
on terrestrial radio, that I and you kind of concurred,
wouldn't let most Democrats change your oil, but they were
good at spin doctory. I don't know if that train
left the station. Your thoughts, Doctor Lopkin.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
No thee.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
The behavior at the State of the Union address last
night was appalling, And the best description that I've heard
was they got together said we have a twenty one
percent approval rating.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
How can we make it lower?

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yes, there's no question about it. And it also, I
think is indicative of your opinion, please, of an organization
with outer rudder or leadership, that what happened last night
was indicative of an organization without leadership. And also I'm

(02:35):
not so sure Bill Maher, who is a liberal, and
I think he has a very good point, and a
point rooted in history. You go back in time one
hundred years ago, one hundred and twenty years ago, the
Whig Party was more than viable.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yes, are the.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Democrats going to be the new Wigs? I mean what
we've seen, I mean it's actually something out of a
Seinfeld episode or curb your enthusiasm. They have a kid,
I mean I'm not laughing. I mean he's a brave,
brave kid. He has got cancer. And if you were
to plot that, I mean yeah, I mean, are you

(03:13):
kidding me?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
When when you're when you have such trumped derangement syndrome
that you can't stand to support a kid who survived
brain cancer. And another child who's well he's not really
a child, but who's young adult whose father passed away

(03:35):
when he was young and his big dream was to
serve his country and get into the military academy at
West Point, and they announced that he made it. They're
sitting on their hands, they're looking at their phones. It's like, really,
you are out of touch with the American people. And

(03:56):
what really cracked me up was that they did decided
to wear pink to show that they're for supporting women.
And yet twenty four hours earlier, every Democrat senator voted
against the Protection of Women Act.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
You are correct, And it goes down to also the
eighty twenty rule. And it happens hardly ever in politics.
Usually you're splitting hairs. Okay, but these things like the border,
transgender nonsense, guys in women's sports, they're eighty twenty and.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, like you said, eight, yeah, eighty percent of the
country was behind the Protection of Women rule, and they decided, no,
this is the hill we're gonna die on. We're gonna
fight for the twenty percent of of the of the

(05:01):
American people that don't want women protected.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Okay. The analysis doctor lopkin doctor. Why why it's not
a rhetorical question, Yeah, got it. I mean because logic
would even if you don't f and believe it, okay,
like you don't believe the company is going in the
right or you have to keep your job, and you say, yes,
it's great, everything's awesome. There's gotta be okay. So what

(05:29):
is it? Are they so indoctrinated that they don't I
don't know, tell me what it is. I really don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Honestly, I can't tell you. This is beyond me.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
CNN, in covering this this morning, actually said, you take
these visuals and the Democrats have no chance of recovering
during the midterms. This is this is CNN saying it.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
It was like, again, I'm not play acting. I'm aghast.
I just came with a stupid little signs. And then
we had Al Green, not the soul guy, the moron
congressman who I think he Macy needs to go to
a mental hospital. That was insane. You just play that,
You're just play what the hell are you doing?

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Well?

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Al Al Green, Let's let's face it. This was this
wasn't just a random Democrat. This is a moron who
has already crafted articles of impeachment because quoting.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yep. And he also had okay, yes, and he also
had that dastardly deep yes, Okay, I don't never see that.
I'm older than you. That was never in a Perry
Mason episode, He's chargement dastardly deeds. Okay, yeah, that.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Was dastardly deeds. Was what you were guilty of in
Saturday Morning cartoons.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
There you go. Yeah, well, they probably haven't elevated themselves
to that, you know, beyond that. But I mean, not
to belabor a point, but it is shelshhocking that CNN
is actually one hundred percent correct that you just play
these and the mid terms are always I don't think
the midterms are going to be bad for for for

(07:33):
the Republicans, and I think Trump look at his approvals
of the quasi state of the Union. You look at
majority of polls have it, it's sixty nine percent approval CBS,
no friend of Donald g seventy six percent overall approval.

(07:54):
So it's just unbelievable. I mean, and I think again,
I do have a twist to you where you have,
like you said, the guy who lost his father, the
young adult the cancer survived. You don't get up in
a PLoud and I think, I want, here's what I
like your viewpoint on. I'm sure our listeners would as well.
Isn't it really a juxtapose of position you had Trump,

(08:18):
which you know three years ago, four years ago, time flights,
we would never be saying this was the adult in
the room. Yeah, across as the adult in the room. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
The switch is amazing.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
And I think it's more than just him being the
adult in the room.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
He was having.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Fun last night. He was enjoying himself.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
And you know the pole.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
The poles are all overwhelmingly positive, but the one that
got me was the Quinnipiac poll. According to Quinnipiac, sixty
four percent of viewers left the left watching the The
State of the Union feeling upbeat, fifty six percent left

(09:10):
and feeling proud of the direction America is going in.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
We have we have to interject one thing because you're
that's really good information something I did not know. But
it's even probably better than because Quinnipiac always pushes to
the left.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
It does.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
We have not had fifty six percent of Americans feeling
proud of the direction of the country in at least
six years.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
At least easily maybe back to Clinton or something. Yeah.
So okay, so let's regroup and what what do the
Democrats do? We don't want to give them help, but
what you can or is it really It might be
I'm really not kidding. It could be so fragmaned. It
may be hopeless. You look at AOC and Omar the

(10:03):
anti well it's both anti Semite. But yeah, they're giving
webinars on how to defeat Ice. And if you saw
AOC she was interviewed by MPR, she was a little
bit scared.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
I mean, well, they think they are looking into whether
or not her Yeah, her webinars are make her guilty
of obstruction of justice. I have a feeling, and it's
it's splitting hairs, but I have a feeling if this

(10:40):
is if it were to go to the Supreme Court,
she would not be found guilty because technically she's just
talking and it's freedom of speech.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Okay, I understand that would that would Yeah, I think
you're probably right. I do think again, we're talking about
messaging as well, in terms of a marketing perspective. I
think her ship we talked about this before Bernie ship
Elizabeth ship has sailed. It is like, Okay, I've seen

(11:13):
the Beach Boys reunion like twenty years ago. I think
I'm good, Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
You know, there were a lot of polls and a
lot of surveys that said the turning point in the
twenty twenty four election was an ad that Trump ran
saying that he was for you, while the Democrats were

(11:40):
for them.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yes, last night, heavily in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yes, last night, the Democrats doubled down on not being
for you. They've basically said, you know what, We're not
even going to try to fight for a We want
Trump to fail so badly that we will throw the
country under a bus rather than do what's right for

(12:10):
our constituents.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
I think that is well said doctor Lopkin, and that
hits the nail on the head. There is no question
about it. Because they're so indoctrinated, they're so out of
their minds, are so they got such Trump derangements syndrome
that I think did They've always had that inclination, but
now they're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Yeah,

(12:35):
they don't give a shit.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
And it's not good for the country the country actually needs. Well,
I was going to say they the country needs a
strong Democratic party, but it's they need a strong second
party doesn't have to be the Democrats, because if you
look at every city that is falling apart in the US,

(12:59):
it is always one party rule. It is a strong
opposition party that keeps everything on track.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
The Democrats have.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Now abandoned actual opposition in favor of throwing temper tantrums.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
That is correct, and they also have lost their ability
to lead. You look at the difference in the increasing
divide between red and blue states. Where are people moving
to red? Where the people retired to red? And I
think when you look at Connecticut, doctor Lopkin, that's an
example of a state that was once the envy of

(13:42):
maybe the rest of the nation. How do you like
this or at least in the top five in many
attributes business, quality of life, and education. But with the
Democratic leadership unopposed as you said, over the last forty years.
And one of the things about Connecticut was that, well,

(14:04):
it's a little more expensive, but companies come here because
our workforce is so highly educated and evolved. You look
at the damage that a Republican unchecked Republican stewardship. Can
do you have people graduating high school with honors in
Connecticut getting scholarships to a highly ranked public education school

(14:30):
college Yukon't who are literate?

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yes right now is yeah, there's a lawsuit going on
by this honor student. She graduated from from public schools
with honors, got a scholarship to Yukon. She cannot read
or write, and she has decided she is suing because

(14:54):
they have essentially said, you know what, we don't care,
We're just gonna push you through. And this is what
happens when you have one party rule, in this case Democrat,
but it is this is why it's important to have
a strong opposition party that actually comes to the table,

(15:14):
pushes ideas and works with the majority party to get
better things done. And the Democrats have abandoned this. They're
just not We're just going to keep them from doing anything.
And I find it absolutely hysterical that, first of all,
the Democratic rebuttal clearly she wrote this speech before before

(15:40):
the State of the Union, because it was obvious she
hadn't actually watched.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
More.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, I mean that was amazing, but.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
More than that, and Chris Murphy stars, Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
But they have just given up. They have not come
to the table. They refuse to come to the table.
And it is absolutely ludicrous because they're throwing their own
careers away by doubling down on exactly what cost them

(16:23):
the twenty twenty four elections.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Okay, but there's yeah, yes, one hundred percent correct. But
getting back to the education situation. I talked about Yukon.
It's a very prestigious public university. Let me ask you,
doctor Lopkin, how the hell does that happen that she
got into Yukon. We're because you know why? Because no, no, no,

(16:49):
because di you throw. They don't need test scores. That's racist. Obviously,
if test scores were part of the equation, they would
have realized she can't add and she can't read. Hello.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah, I'm I'm actually going to push back on the
idea that Yukon is elite.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
You I have.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
I have worked with a number of businesses who got
interns from Yukon, and to a man, these folks, these
students are completely unprepared for the real world. The workers
that we that these companies got from them are horrible. So,

(17:34):
you know, I think Yukon is basically coasting on their
basketball team.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
That's all they've got left.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Well, no, I think it's bigger than that, because you
do bring out a very good point. It's the whole
illusion of elitism. And I'm nothing social, even though that's
part of the equation. No, No, because these schools, what
they're grinding out is idiots. Yes, okay, And that's why
everything is perceive value and that's why there's a good

(18:02):
YouTube video a college graduate nineteen fifty goes into an office,
fake interview. Obviously da da da, but it's like, whoa,
you got a college Now It's like okay, yeah, yeah,
college degree, okay, whatever. So they're diminishing their own self
worth as prices go up. But it still shows you
that the so called elite institutions are not elite. And

(18:25):
you can even look at the Ivy League Barnard Columbia,
which I completely agree with the Trump administration pulling funding
for their let's just say acquiescence to anti Semitism. But
the bigger pictures we talked about a long time ago. If,
just like the Democratic Party, if our education system doesn't

(18:47):
get its shit together, we're in deep doo doo. And
I am four not against getting rid of the Department
of Education, because yeah, you look at Connecticut, but I
think the band leader of all this is the Department
of Education. You have more willing followers in deep blue
states like Connecticut, but they're setting the tune. And if

(19:09):
you look at some of these inner city schools, I'm
talking high schools, maybe elementary schools, their focus is on victimization.
And that's the ultimate form of abuse. You don't need
to read, Yes it is, and it's a fact of life.
I know people that teach in those kinds of school
districts and if you knew what went on, you'd have

(19:30):
a friggin heart attack. There you go.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
And if you take a look at school systems across
the country, it is these deep school systems in deep
blue states that are failing miserably. If you take a
look at the test scores, the levels of math and reading,

(19:54):
they're dropping well. In more rural areas and I don't
mean suburban, affluent areas, I mean poor rural areas in
red states, their education is actually improving. So you know,
the Democrats are fighting to keep the DOE. How dare

(20:14):
you consider getting rid of it? Of course they're fighting
to keep it because without it, their followers are going
to be upshits Creek without a paddle.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yes, And isn't it ironic that I remember when the
big thing was they always looked down on the chewing
tobacco Tennessee blah blah blah. Well, maybe the joke's on you,
because deep blue Connecticut, elitist Connecticut, you have graduates of
high school that are illiterate. You may want to rethink that,
but it is interesting You're talking about getting rid of

(20:48):
the Department of Education and the whole doge thing. Isn't
it interesting? That, isn't it, in some ways of slush
fund for the Democratic Party, especially when you have people
like State I don't know how sushi still around Stacy
Abrams indirectly getting a kick back of almost two billion.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Hello, Well, that's exactly what it is.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
It's why they're so up in arms about yoh. I
mean they're yelling, oh, they're firing government workers. Really, where
was the sympathy for the workers on the Keystone pipeline
that Biden put out of work on day one? Funny,
the Democrats had absolutely no problem with, well, if you

(21:31):
don't get vaccinated, you're going to lose your job. But
they have a problem with you have to do your
job or you'll get fired.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Well, that doesn't really shock me because someone that's been
in the business world would know that happens all the time.
Is it good? Is it fun? No? And everyone that's
not everyone. Many people that have been in the corporate
world have actually had it happen to them. When you
know the consultants coming, well, tell me what you do.
It's not to make conversation, genius, it's to find out

(22:03):
what the hell you're doing. Yeah, so interesting, I have
go ahead.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
I have been in corporate layoffs twice, not not even
with consultants coming, and they just decided they had to
cut the budget. In one case they got rid of
entire departments, and in the other case they got rid
of just a third of the company. This happens why,

(22:31):
because if you don't keep an eye on the bottom.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Line, you go out of business.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
The Democrats got too used to printing money, so they
our deficit is out of control, and now there's a well, no, no, no,
we have to keep these now.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
I'm willing to bet.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
When I worked as a political consultant in New York
City back in the late nineties, there were political jobs
handed out like candy. The winning team always got to
put people in. I am willing to bet that most
of these federal workers that aren't doing their job were

(23:15):
political appointees. They did somebody a favor, or their parents
did somebody a favor, and they were given a job.
And now they're actually going to be held accountable for
doing that job, which apparently they're not qualified for.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
It's also a big Ponzi scheme. Let's be clear on
that these these the monies get shifted over to these
insane organizations and just I'm sure by chance they find
themselves with too democratic causes or constituencies, surprise, surprise. And
it's basically the lifeblood that is keeping a dying organization.

(23:59):
What I mean by that is a Democratic party still alive.
It's their life support, honey, like that, doctor Lopkin.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah, it's it's very true.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Unfortunately, the fraud, the slush funds, we've known, it's been going.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
On forever all bad.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Obama tried to get rid of this, Clinton tried to
get rid of this, and the Democrats always have found
a way to keep it around. Well, now I think
they've met their match because when so much of the
country actually has a favorable opinion of what.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Dog is doing, and they do.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
I think the lowest approval rating I've seen in any
of the polls was fifty four percent.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yes, and I'm sure there's an outliner, but it isn't.
As a marketing professional, coaching businesses, there is. I'm a
big believer in images imagery you have. Like you said,
Trump was enjoying himself, he was relaxed, and then you
look at the demo they're freaked out, They're angry. I

(25:14):
think it's really goes to the point when you look
at Trump's approval rating. Okay, with boomers it's around forty. Okay,
with people under forty, it's over sixty percent. In fact,
it's over sixty five percent. I think they're the demo
Republicans who used to be the country club elite is

(25:38):
boring what they're the hipsters. It's the Democrats that are angry,
mean and old. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
I mean, there was a photograph of part of the
audience last night with the Democrats and it was a
close up on four or five Democrats.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
I don't even know.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Who they are, But if you look at this picture,
the only conclusion you can come to is that the
average age of a democratic lawmaker is extinct.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yeah, I would say it's Jurassic era. Yes, Yeah, Nancy
wasn't looking good either. And you can have a jolly
old old a jolly old person, right, My grandmother was.
But they're old and mean and angry. These are amazing.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
These are These are not the folks that got old
gracefully and they're looking forward to the grandkids coming over
so they can so they can, you know, play with them. No,
these are the old people who live in the house
that when you're a kid you're afraid to go near

(26:54):
the house.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
And when you're.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Tossing around the ball, if the ball goes into their yard,
you say goodbye to that ball.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
One hundred percent I lived that, meaning that two neighbors
down they were just angry, mean and pissed, and if
the ball went there, you'd say, hey, Johnny, do you
want to get it? I gotta die my shoe. Just
no way. But it is. It is a very interesting dynamic.

(27:24):
And there was also a lot of interesting dynamics in
the speech itself. When he doubled up at his trump
on Greenland, which everyone thought was a joke, but also Pama,
but it looks like that's no joke. Panama.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Panama is no joke.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Panama has agreed not to rejoin the Chinese Alliance, so
we won there. But also yesterday Blackrock Asset Management bought
controlling interest in the ports at either side of the
Panama Canal, giving an American company to facto control. They're

(28:07):
also buying a controlling interest in the company that actually
runs the canal. So without having to do too much negotiations,
American companies have said, you know what, we need to
have control of that canal, and they went out and
did it. And that right there is the big difference

(28:32):
between the Trump administration and the Democratic administrations. The Democrats
are all about throwing their money around and giving tax
breaks to to companies to convince them to do things. Yo, yo,
there are big unraising taxes. Trump is not spending government money.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
They're not.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Trump is not spending taxpayer money. Trump is getting private
companies two pony up. We just had an announcement the
Taiwan Semiconductor Company is going.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
To be investing.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Two hundred billion dollars in chip factories here in the country.
Here in the United States. The only way Biden could
get anybody to to start building chip factories was to
bribe them with the Chips Act.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah, and that went nowhere. And also I'm not so
sure they're interested in tax cuts for companies. I think
your your first point is more apropos and that is
they're just knee jerk reaction is throw money at a problem. Yes,
and everything will be solved because there is no constraints.

(29:50):
You just printed. So I think that is very very interesting,
and you talk about money. One thing I'm totally on
board with his name is Senator Kennedy from Louisiana basically
put together or put forth a bill defunding MPR. I
think that's long over. Du Romney talked about that ten

(30:12):
years ago. I think it's because they're not national public.
They're nation They used to be called as a joke,
national Palestinian Radio. But anyway, the point is they're just
an arm an apparechi of the Democrat elite socialist Party.
They should be defunded. They got enough money. We don't

(30:33):
need any more money.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
When NPR, when there's baleries.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Well yeah, when NPR and PBS were created, there was
a need for them.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
You had three networks.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Other than that, you had maybe two or three, if
you were lucky, local channels other than the networks, and
that was it.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
There needed to be.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
A net work that was going to be guaranteed that
they were going to exist.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Now that's not the case.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
You have what five hundred different networks out there. You
on top of that, you've got podcasts, you've got Internet radio,
you've got YouTube, PPS and and NPR don't serve a
purpose anymore.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Oh, they serve a purpose for disseminating misinformation for the Democratic.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
But yeah, there are propaganda arm of the Democrats, but
there's I.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Don't think they accomplish anything because the only people that
listen to them are dyed in the wool liberals. Anyway,
I used to listen to NPR. Now I have been
a version for them, so I can't. I used to
listen to card Talk and wait, wait, don't tell me,
but now I can't.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
I used to listen to Science Friday.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yes that too, Yes, but that train left the station.
And then you know, speaking of some of some of
Trump's early initiatives and accomplishments, I think calling the cartels
or deeming them terrorist organizations are was really good and
has also spilled into dividends. They're actually afraid to leave

(32:18):
their encampments, and Trump has put forces on the Mexican
border by essentially quasi threatening them. I think long overdue.
It's an accidential, excedense threat to America.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
It is long overdue, and the Mexican government is actually
trying to defend the cartels.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
They are suing.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
The case was actually heard by the Supreme Court yesterday.
We don't know what the decision's going to be, but
they are trying to sue the gun companies. Blaming them
for the cartels violence. Has nothing to do with the
fact that the Mexican government has been in the pocket
of the cartels for twenty years.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
No including their current leadership.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yes, it's you know, it's the gun company's fault. But
what's really interesting is that we have now hit the
lowest number of attempted crossings in probably a decade.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
For four years, the.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Democrats kept saying, well, there's nothing we can do about this.
We need legislation, and the Republicans won't let us do it. Well,
guess what the Republicans got into office. They didn't need legislation.
They were able to clean up the problem in under
thirty days.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Yes, and I believe I heard some analysis on that
that might have been the Trump's greatest found bite. He
didn't need new legislation, he needed a new president that
blew up and exploded that talking pointed, we just needed
to come together and have a new legislation. Yeah, okay,
I don't think so. I think it's totally blown out.

(34:09):
And right after our podcast of last week, Doctor Lockkin,
we had a Zelenski meeting at the White House. Very interesting.
I think it was a net positive Honey, like that
your thoughts.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
It wasn't net positive because Zelensky has now said, yes,
he will come back to the negotiating table, because he
learned the hard way that nothing is going to happen
with the Russian Ukraine War without America. They can't defend
themselves without us. We're the ones footing most of the bill.

(34:46):
He flew off to Europe where UK Prime Minister Starmer
put together this great plan for the defense of Ukraine
and the French signed off off on the and in
describing the plan, Starmer actually said, well, of course this

(35:07):
plan's going to rely very heavily on the US.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Well, and that's why we probably disagree on this, but
I am not all that enamored with NATO because I
think we've enabled our children in the EU to become
socialist former shadows of themselves. That England, one of the

(35:34):
big forces in the victory in World War Two, couldn't
invade Rhode Island at this point. And if you look
at the EU over the last twenty years, they are
now fifty percent of the wealth factor of the United States.
You have to go down to like twenty five for
any in the top you know, one hundred corporations in

(35:56):
the world. Innovation gone. So Europe needs to get you
know what they're shipped together too.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Yeah, yeah, they need to get their stuff together. It's
absolutely ridiculous what they've allowed to happen. But what really
got my attention was the media coverage of the Trump
Zelensky argument like this was the only time this had
ever happened in history. Biden had the same argument with Zelenski,

(36:31):
and the Democrats in the liberal media said nothing. Obama
had basically the same argument with Benjamin Netan Yahoo and
with the head of Pakistan.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
The Bush administration had the George W.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Not Not Senior had the same situation with the head
of Pakistan. The only thing that made this different from
all of the others is that there.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Where camera's present. But they're they're trying to use this
as evidence that oh, Trump is unfit, he's in the
pocket of Putin. And again they fell back to Russia, Russia, Russia.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Well, they can't help themselves, and neither can the mainstream
media CNN, MSNBC, even though they're failing Democrats mainten, they can't.
I think they're just so entrenched in their own ideology
or way of doing things. You know, there's an old adage.
You know, we've always solved problems with a pencil, and

(37:37):
you're you know, you have a new computer put in
your office, You're still going to go to the pencil.
I think that's where we are. Where we are with
both the mainstream media and the Democratic Party. I'm kind
of interested. Speaking of the mainstream media, we have chotas
a someone who's always carried water for the Democrats, come

(37:59):
out and and uh, surprise, surprise, Gomer Pyle. He basically
says that yes, he's come to the epiffany that Uncle
Joe is really not a good family man or person,
but really a son of a bitch, and he cites
the point of having two troubled kids, but instead of

(38:19):
taking care of them, decided to go run. That's a shock,
isn't it? And isn't it really interesting? And comes out now?

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Hmmm, well, I mean the timing, I'm gonna I'm not
I'm not gonna say this is a coincidence. I'm sure
all of this is, you know, trying to jump on
the same bed wagon.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
But Jake Tapper, yeah, who for for yes, for four.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Years denied that there was anything wrong with Joe Biden,
is now coming out with a book exposing the conspiracy
to cover up Joe Biden's mental capacity.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
Yes, I think that is. By the way, the covering
up of this mental capacity makes Watergate look like a joke.
I mean, we could have a nuclear conflict with this
guy in office.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Yeah, I shall, I think Tapper, Todd They're just basically
trying to remake themselves so they can attempt to stay
relevant because, let's face it, liberal media is cutting back
left and right. We just saw Joy Reid get fired.

(39:37):
ABC News announced layoffs this morning. The liberal media is
falling apart. They're firing people left and right because they're
not making any money because their viewers are leaving them
in droves.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
They're interesting. I think you're right, they're trying to stake
out a new identity, new relevant. But I think so
Dadage says, too little, too late.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
You know, maybe maybe they're trying to position themselves to get,
you know, to for their own podcasts. Not unlike we're
not hiring them, right, not unlike Governor Newsom. Govin Newsom
announced he's gonna have a podcast It's Oh.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
That's must listen to.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Yeah, unbelievable.
