Speaker 2 (00:16):
Here we go, Here come the stupid letters. That's right,
more than two hundred Republicans who previously worked for either
President George W. Bush, John McCain, Senator Vitt Romney, even H. W. Bush,
Oh my god, signing letters saying that they're not going

(00:39):
to vote, not going to vote for Donald Trump, They're
going to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walls. We
have plenty of honest, ideological agreements with Vice President Harris
and Governor Walls. That's to be expected. The alternative, however,
is simply untenable. How many stupid letters did we get?
What was just stupid letters back with the Russia collusion

(01:03):
and stupid letters when it came to the Russia disinformation
with the Hunter laptop. Did anything happened to any of
those people who were wrong and sign those stupid letters? No, no,
even going you could. You can pull the letter up

(01:23):
and you can see the various different people who signed
this letter or any of them accomplished in my sense
of being accomplished. Basically they own businesses or built anything. No, no,
these are these are creatures of the Beltway. These are

(01:46):
creatures of the Beltway. And I don't have I don't
have any respect. I really don't. I zero respect. If
you spend your life within in Washington, d c. And
working your way up in government, zero zero, zilch not.
I have no respect for you. Go get a real job.

(02:08):
It's funny. You know where these people land? You do
you do realize that wherever they get a job, These
people that want to work in politics, wherever they get
a job, that's where their leanings are going to go.
They could care less. They don't care what political party

(02:30):
it is. And they they came out of college and
they happen to get a job with UH. You know,
Dick Geppart, Well, I got a job at I'm a Democrat.
Now they don't care. They got a job where I
got a job at New Gigga job. They're Republican now.
It was funny in the UH. It was a movie
nineteen eighties film Saint Elmo's Fire. There was a character

(02:54):
UH played by Judd Nelson. Name was Alec Newberry and
and he first was he was a congressional staffer, congressional
staffer for a Democrat, and then he got an opportunity
to go work for Republican because it paid for I
remembers his girlfriend wasn't happy with that. He's like it
pays more. Yeah, these people have worked within the Beltway

(03:21):
and they have it. Like I said, they have their
own little club, fratorney, whatever it may be. And if
you are called upon to sign your name to a letter,
because you're called upon to sign your name to a letter,
you're gonna do it. Okay. It's part of the quid

(03:42):
pro quote of having, you know, a ridiculous job within
the Beltway where you really don't do much of anything
even think about what these people do all day long.
They actually think about the actual work that they put in,
the time that they put in. We were talking about

(04:05):
that now, you know, with with corporations watching people's keystrokes
and whatnot. And then they had some some company has
got this mouse mover things try to get around that.
What do you think these people do all day long?
You're going to see more going to see more of

(04:26):
these stupid letters, These stupid letters where we're not going
to vote for Trump. You honestly, they ever give any
reason for voting for Kamala Harris. I mean maybe maybe
they they hope that you know, they can get back
in the game. Sign listen, QUI sign your name to

(04:47):
a letter. You know, we might might be able to
find a spot for you, spot for you somewhere, a
nice cushy gig here there or anywhere, maybe some think
tank where you can sign your name to a think
tanking elect to check in not doing or maybe maybe
become a professor, a professor at Georgetown where you don't
teach a class, kind of like Joe Biden. I was

(05:10):
a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, yet never stepped
foot in the classroom. Okay, this people, this is your country,
