Speaker 1 (00:13):
We better call Saul, and that's what we do to
get political perspective from the man from Michigan who's now
in the nation's capital. He's the former chair of the
Michigan Republican Party and you can read his publication every
week at Saulsnews dot com. Thank you for being here,
Welcome back to the program.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
That great to be with you.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I have a little story for you that has to
do with Ron Wiser, who was chair of the Michigan
Republican Party as well, and I know you know him well.
I was recently at a place in Las Vegas called
the Westgate Hotel, which used to be the International, which
was very well known for Elvis and now has Barry
Manilo there, but it was also the hotel if you
(00:54):
saw the movie Diamonds Are Forever, the Double O seven
James Bond movie. Are you a James Bond fan? So
he am, okay, you remember that Willard White was at
the top of that hotel, and that was the International Hotel.
And so I started doing a little studying for a
column I was writing about the hotel and Diamonds Are Forever,
(01:15):
and I came across this clip of Double Oh seven
in M's office, which often happened at the beginning of
the Double oh seven pictures.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Now this is come on, how do you do?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Come on to boonton.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
He's done.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Thank you, Sherry, not for me.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Thanks Doctor zulis nice.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Thank you you've been on the holiday. I understand.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Relaxing, I hope.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Well, hardly relaxing, but most satisfying. Pretty a bout your liver.
Shaw's don't usually find CELERA fifty one.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I believe there is no year for Chevy.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I was referring to the original vintage on which the
Sherry is based, eighteen fifty one.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
It's unstickable, so it was a super flex right sophistication
from Double O seven on the Sherry. So I sent
that clip to Chairman Wiser, who is one of the
great wine collectors in the world. Actually, and I said,
this clip reminded me of you. And do you know
(02:26):
what he texted back. He texted back, eighteen forty eight
was a better year.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Of course you did.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
He flexed right back on top of it. They cracked
me up. So those of you who know him, you
realize that he he knows his stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And if you, yeah, have you ever had the of
actually visiting his wine cellar, you realize that there's a
good chance he's got a bottle that somewhere hidden down there.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
So yeah, yeah, it's astonishing. And he's raised a lot
of money for the University of Michigan by selling some
of that wine too from time to time. But anyhow,
I thought you'd get a kick out of one of
your other chairs in that situation. Another bit of entertainment
that took place this weekend was Bill Maher on the
Real Time Show. I don't know if you ever watched
(03:19):
that on HBO, but he was talking about Governor Whitmer
and Democrats and the woke generation.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Bill Maher considers himself an old school liberal. He's not
nuts about some of the fringe elements of the Democrat Party.
But he brought up and showed the photo of our
Governor Gretchen Whitber with the folder in front of her
face in the Oval Office earlier this year, and here's
what he said, I think we have that audience.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
The reason Gretchen Whitmer looked like a toddler playing peekaboo
in the Oval Office is she's afraid of the Liz
Brats of the world and the twelve social justice warriors
on the internet and what they might swe to their
seven followers. Alyssa Slotkin calls her party weak and woke.
She's right. People vote on instinct. They can smell fear
(04:10):
a swing state away, and they'd rather have strong and wrong.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I think that's true. I think that's probably true. I mean, look,
the problem is that, you know, Governor w has been
trying to play both sides of this. I mean, you know,
I love her current you know, ask to you know,
fix the damn roads, which I believe we've heard several
times before. And somebody who has you know, is a
sitting governor and had control of the legislator who hasn't
(04:36):
been able to fix the road. It's a little bit
ironic for her to keep, you know, pitch, the same
pitch that didn't work. You know, there was basically a
promise that she couldn't keep. So instead of promises made,
promises cap she's got to run on you know, promises
made and well something going to make them again and
hopefully you'll forget that I didn't do it the first
time around. So I think that you know, people are watching.
(04:57):
I mean, she's a very good politician. She's willing to
say whatever it takes to be credible and influential and popular,
and unfortunately it works with a lot of people because
her popularity seems to be holding in Michigan, which I find,
I'm unbelievable. But eventually her record's going to catch up
with her.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Do you think that Alyssa Slotkin has a better chance
to be president than Gretchen Whitmer, Boy.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
That's hard to say. You know, both of those are
scary scenarios from my perspective, But you know, I look,
I mean, you know, the Democratic Party is in chaos
right now, so I guess anybody could potentially be the
nominee for the Democrats, and therefore anybody could be president.
But the reality is that, you know, these guys have
(05:46):
pushed the parties so far to the left and is
so extreme and is so woke, and it's so out
of touch with the average American person. I think that
America is starting to pay attention. And the reason that
you know, President Trump has gotten the support he has
is that even though a lot of people don't like
how he does it, or what he actually says or
his style, you have a pretty hard time disagreeing with
(06:08):
most of his policies, I mean, other than you know,
what he's doing in Ukraine. I mean I find it
hard to you know, say I don't agree with him
and what he's done with the border, what he's doing
with taxes, what he's doing with regulation, what he's doing
with education. So what about what he's.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Doing in Washington, d C? With the crime situation? Do
you feel unsafe living there?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I'll tell you what. You see a difference this week,
I mean it is unbelievable. I specifically took a walk
around you know, d C yesterday in the day before,
and the changes are unbelievable. They're cleaning up the homeless
uh uh. You know areas that have people out there
where a lot of people were attacked by you know,
mentally ill people and others. They're cleaning up the areas
(06:49):
where you know, young teenagers are out there causing all
kinds of griefs. They're putting you know, National Gardenens on
the on the ground, and they're also supporting the local police.
So they're they're letting the local police do their job,
but with the support of four to six to twelve
you know National guardsman behind them, gives them a heck
a lot more capabilities to go out and stop and
(07:11):
deter these kinds of activities in criminals. So yeah, it's
making a big difference in Washington.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You see interesting to see today. Saul and newsis will
be where the action is, where the meeting is in
the nation's capital at the White House. Find him at
saulsnews dot com. Thank you, I lift a glass of
sherry to you, Coppercraft. When it comes to healthcare costs,
we often focus on one thing, our insurance premiums. But whatever,
we're only seeing part of the picture. The truth is
(07:38):
our health insurance costs reside downstream at the end of
the cost equation. But to really understand what's driving up costs,
we need to look upstream to the healthcare system itself. Upstream,
there are costs like the price is charged by hospitals
and doctors, and the cost of prescription drugs, healthcare administration,
and technology. These costs flow downstream directly into your health
(08:02):
insurance premium. That's why Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan
is advocating for a system wide solution to address the
rising cost of healthcare. Blue Cross knows that healthcare is
personal needs to work for everyone, and affordability matters, and
that starts with shedding light on the entire cost equation,
from upstream costs to downstream premiums. Want to learn more,
