TRANSCRIPTS:
1
00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:02,440
Early on, they were talking about the Republicans didn’t
2
00:00:02,440 –> 00:00:03,840
have their shit together.
3
00:00:03,840 –> 00:00:04,400
Like, you know,
4
00:00:04,640 –> 00:00:06,440
there’s no brand associated with,
5
00:00:06,440 –> 00:00:07,360
what do they stand for?
6
00:00:07,360 –> 00:00:08,400
We talked about that.
7
00:00:09,000 –> 00:00:10,240
And then the Democrats,
8
00:00:10,480 –> 00:00:15,360
to me, they have fallen apart with no brand for what
9
00:00:15,360 –> 00:00:16,600
they stand for at all.
10
00:00:16,600 –> 00:00:18,160
And I think that’s what undermines this whole.
11
00:00:18,960 –> 00:00:19,680
Well, yeah,
12
00:00:19,680 –> 00:00:21,800
but people like the bravado of Trump.
13
00:00:21,800 –> 00:00:22,800
They like the fact that,
14
00:00:22,880 –> 00:00:23,160
you know,
15
00:00:23,200 –> 00:00:25,160
you look at how he did with Latino men with black
16
00:00:25,160 –> 00:00:26,160
men, there is.
17
00:00:26,520 –> 00:00:28,480
And with white women,
18
00:00:29,360 –> 00:00:32,360
maybe it’s just things are fucking terrible and that
19
00:00:32,480 –> 00:00:33,640
and we need some sense,
20
00:00:33,640 –> 00:00:35,360
some sensibility because,
21
00:00:35,520 –> 00:00:35,720
you know,
22
00:00:35,720 –> 00:00:37,040
just talking to my loved ones,
23
00:00:38,560 –> 00:00:40,520
if Harris got 47.5%
24
00:00:40,520 –> 00:00:41,560
of the it was a blowout,
25
00:00:41,560 –> 00:00:42,120
actually,
26
00:00:42,120 –> 00:00:43,240
and I think I called it.
27
00:00:43,240 –> 00:00:43,880
There’s always a 3%
28
00:00:43,880 –> 00:00:45,560
hidden Trump vote.
29
00:00:45,600 –> 00:00:46,400
History shows it.
30
00:00:47,200 –> 00:00:50,720
40 of the 47.5 was not Trump.
31
00:00:51,120 –> 00:00:51,760
That’s all.
32
00:00:52,040 –> 00:00:53,280
And the people have spoken.
33
00:00:54,720 –> 00:00:55,600
Well, and again,
34
00:00:55,600 –> 00:00:56,600
look at what Dearborn,
35
00:00:57,040 –> 00:00:57,480
Jill Stein,
36
00:00:57,480 –> 00:00:57,680
2020%, you know,
37
00:00:57,680 –> 00:00:58,000
of the vote.
38
00:00:58,000 –> 00:00:58,560
Did she get 20?
39
00:00:58,560 –> 00:01:01,360
Yeah, she almost came in third in Dearborn cause I
40
00:01:01,360 –> 00:01:05,280
mean the projections that she would do 40 amongst
41
00:01:05,280 –> 00:01:06,120
Arabs, right.
42
00:01:06,880 –> 00:01:08,920
And so obviously Dearborn’s broader than that,
43
00:01:08,920 –> 00:01:11,600
but that would make sense if if she came in at 20
44
00:01:11,680 –> 00:01:12,240
in Dearborn.
45
00:01:12,240 –> 00:01:14,640
But this was all known.
46
00:01:15,200 –> 00:01:19,200
And yet we’re being fed from the outside in.
47
00:01:19,560 –> 00:01:20,600
White women are coming.
48
00:01:21,040 –> 00:01:21,600
Oh my God.
49
00:01:21,680 –> 00:01:22,320
Oh, did you?
50
00:01:22,320 –> 00:01:22,800
Did you see?
51
00:01:23,680 –> 00:01:27,440
Did you see that that thing in the Detroit News?
52
00:01:28,480 –> 00:01:28,880
What thing?
53
00:01:29,640 –> 00:01:31,840
I don’t see anything like that.
54
00:01:32,560 –> 00:01:34,840
What a fucking bunch of goofs over there,
55
00:01:35,200 –> 00:01:36,720
Like, for two cycles,
56
00:01:36,720 –> 00:01:38,800
you’re the conservative paper and you’re not.
57
00:01:39,200 –> 00:01:40,080
Endorsing anyone.
58
00:01:40,720 –> 00:01:41,280
Funny thing is,
59
00:01:41,520 –> 00:01:42,160
nobody noticed.
60
00:01:42,320 –> 00:01:44,160
But this should be a wake up call to everybody.
61
00:01:44,320 –> 00:01:46,800
I mean, it just things are different.
62
00:01:47,040 –> 00:01:48,400
Things are worse.
63
00:01:48,400 –> 00:01:50,640
People, things that are that you think are resonating
64
00:01:50,640 –> 00:01:51,680
with people are not,
65
00:01:52,000 –> 00:01:52,480
you know?
66
00:01:52,480 –> 00:01:55,200
I mean, it just the whole playbook thing doesn’t work.
67
00:01:55,280 –> 00:01:56,720
I mean, it just does not work.
68
00:01:57,280 –> 00:01:58,240
Well, here’s the thing.
69
00:01:58,400 –> 00:01:59,400
What are you doing on the phone,
70
00:02:00,720 –> 00:02:01,840
Responding to a text.
71
00:02:02,240 –> 00:02:03,520
We’re not on on,
72
00:02:04,160 –> 00:02:05,840
Well, we are.
73
00:02:07,120 –> 00:02:08,400
And I’m sorry for being late,
74
00:02:08,400 –> 00:02:10,960
but it was a bloodbath out there on day one.
75
00:02:10,960 –> 00:02:13,400
There were Nazis marching in the street and I had to
76
00:02:13,400 –> 00:02:14,160
get through.
77
00:02:20,440 –> 00:02:21,200
It’s getting ready.
78
00:02:22,000 –> 00:02:25,400
I spent last week in Detroit processing absentee ballots
79
00:02:25,400 –> 00:02:29,760
at Cobo Hall or TCF or Huntington Place or whatever
80
00:02:29,760 –> 00:02:30,960
they’re calling it this year.
81
00:02:32,680 –> 00:02:36,200
I want to thank the great people of Detroit for participating.
82
00:02:37,280 –> 00:02:39,680
In the great experiment known as American democracy,
83
00:02:40,240 –> 00:02:45,160
these very fine people have not sat at home.
84
00:02:45,360 –> 00:02:50,160
They participated while you’re bitching.
85
00:02:50,760 –> 00:02:53,680
These are poll challengers who stand over us to make
86
00:02:54,320 –> 00:02:55,280
We don’t cheat.
87
00:02:56,080 –> 00:02:57,120
They worked for free.
88
00:02:57,400 –> 00:02:58,800
Participating in democracy.
89
00:02:59,840 –> 00:03:03,040
The four of us at each processing table got paid 300
90
00:03:03,040 –> 00:03:04,640
bucks every day for three days’
91
00:03:04,640 –> 00:03:07,040
work to process 600 votes.
92
00:03:07,520 –> 00:03:08,760
That’s $6 a vote.
93
00:03:09,920 –> 00:03:12,000
And that didn’t account for the supervisors,
94
00:03:12,000 –> 00:03:12,880
hall rental,
95
00:03:13,120 –> 00:03:13,840
the coffee,
96
00:03:14,000 –> 00:03:14,960
or the Danish.
97
00:03:18,560 –> 00:03:20,800
It was all on the up and up at the voting tables,
98
00:03:22,080 –> 00:03:23,200
Looking at the ballot,
99
00:03:23,200 –> 00:03:26,760
I realized I’d done a journalism piece on at least
100
00:03:26,880 –> 00:03:28,720
40% of the primary office seekers.
101
00:03:29,040 –> 00:03:31,040
That includes the candidates for president,
102
00:03:31,120 –> 00:03:32,560
senator, Congress,
103
00:03:32,640 –> 00:03:33,520
state Rep,
104
00:03:33,600 –> 00:03:34,480
prosecutor,
105
00:03:34,640 –> 00:03:35,280
treasurer,
106
00:03:35,360 –> 00:03:36,480
sheriff, clerk,
107
00:03:36,640 –> 00:03:37,760
register of deeds,
108
00:03:37,920 –> 00:03:40,560
judges for the district circuit and supreme courts,
109
00:03:41,040 –> 00:03:42,160
even the school board.
110
00:03:42,640 –> 00:03:44,640
Oh, the stories,
111
00:03:44,960 –> 00:03:46,080
the fake priest,
112
00:03:46,240 –> 00:03:47,280
the tax cheats,
113
00:03:47,440 –> 00:03:48,480
the war criminal,
114
00:03:48,640 –> 00:03:49,760
the womanizers.
115
00:03:50,080 –> 00:03:51,760
It was glorious.
116
00:03:52,200 –> 00:03:55,520
Until the reality of the American political scene dawned
117
00:03:55,520 –> 00:03:57,520
upon me, we’re fucked.
118
00:03:58,320 –> 00:04:06,400
Remember to vote and vote often live from downtown
119
00:04:07,520 –> 00:04:12,000
It’s the No Bullshit News Hour with my main man,
120
00:04:12,440 –> 00:04:18,400
Charlie, and Karen Dumas.
121
00:04:21,440 –> 00:04:22,640
Double bullshit.
122
00:04:22,880 –> 00:04:23,760
Double bullshit.
123
00:04:24,080 –> 00:04:25,920
And the politicians lie to you.
124
00:04:25,920 –> 00:04:27,200
The media lies to you.
125
00:04:27,200 –> 00:04:28,960
The pollsters lie to you.
126
00:04:29,920 –> 00:04:31,280
Cable news lied to you.
127
00:04:31,280 –> 00:04:33,920
How do you know your investment statements are not
128
00:04:33,920 –> 00:04:34,720
lying to you?
129
00:04:34,880 –> 00:04:36,320
Remember, if you’re managing,
130
00:04:36,560 –> 00:04:37,720
you’re not managing your wealth.
131
00:04:37,720 –> 00:04:40,080
That’s some unseen guy working for a big bank,
132
00:04:40,320 –> 00:04:42,240
jocking some unknown algorithm,
133
00:04:42,480 –> 00:04:44,560
but he’s not making decisions based on what’s best
134
00:04:45,120 –> 00:04:48,880
Why is the stock market going up and gold is going
135
00:04:48,960 –> 00:04:50,880
Why would a commodity be going up?
136
00:04:50,880 –> 00:04:53,520
Because nobody wants to buy American debt.
137
00:04:53,920 –> 00:04:55,120
It’s we’re in a bad spot.
138
00:04:55,760 –> 00:04:56,800
You don’t know what to do.
139
00:04:57,160 –> 00:04:58,960
You’re not supposed to know what you’re supposed to
140
00:04:58,960 –> 00:05:00,560
go to work and do what you do.
141
00:05:01,200 –> 00:05:03,480
Luke Nowacki will handle your money.
142
00:05:03,480 –> 00:05:06,360
He’ll tailor a financial financial plan specifically
143
00:05:06,360 –> 00:05:08,480
for you, from annuities to retirement accounts to
144
00:05:08,480 –> 00:05:09,280
college savings.
145
00:05:09,520 –> 00:05:11,680
He’ll keep you up to date and always a phone call away.
146
00:05:11,680 –> 00:05:14,320
Let Newt Nowacki worry so you don’t have to.
147
00:05:14,560 –> 00:05:15,280
Luke Nowacki,
148
00:05:15,280 –> 00:05:20,480
248-663-4748 and also the no bullshit news hour on
149
00:05:20,480 –> 00:05:23,520
this day after the national election that went on
150
00:05:23,520 –> 00:05:26,000
for fucking ever.
151
00:05:26,160 –> 00:05:26,960
Nine years.
152
00:05:28,360 –> 00:05:30,360
Are you an entrepreneur looking for a safe and socially
153
00:05:30,360 –> 00:05:31,800
responsible real estate investment?
154
00:05:31,800 –> 00:05:33,840
I asked Bobby Kennedy.
155
00:05:34,400 –> 00:05:36,320
Dude, what are we going to do about end of life care?
156
00:05:36,320 –> 00:05:37,040
It’s terrible,
157
00:05:38,160 –> 00:05:40,800
Gretchen Whitmer could not deliver Michigan.
158
00:05:40,960 –> 00:05:41,320
She’s dead.
159
00:05:41,320 –> 00:05:42,160
Her career’s dead.
160
00:05:43,120 –> 00:05:43,920
The nursing homes.
161
00:05:44,240 –> 00:05:44,960
If you think about it,
162
00:05:45,200 –> 00:05:46,560
it really comes down to that.
163
00:05:46,720 –> 00:05:47,920
Everybody ignored it.
164
00:05:48,320 –> 00:05:49,360
Working girls,
165
00:05:49,520 –> 00:05:50,480
working boys.
166
00:05:50,480 –> 00:05:51,440
We didn’t forget it.
167
00:05:51,600 –> 00:05:53,600
What do we do with our elders?
168
00:05:53,680 –> 00:05:55,200
We can put them in a good.
169
00:05:55,680 –> 00:05:56,320
Wholesome,
170
00:05:56,560 –> 00:05:58,720
safe, communal place.
171
00:05:58,880 –> 00:05:59,760
If you’re an investor,
172
00:05:59,760 –> 00:06:00,800
you can be part of this.
173
00:06:01,760 –> 00:06:04,960
Archangel has formed partnerships with a nursing school
174
00:06:05,200 –> 00:06:06,640
and Majestic Residences,
175
00:06:06,640 –> 00:06:09,040
a home-based assisted living franchise system.
176
00:06:09,360 –> 00:06:11,600
The partnership provides authentic caregivers with
177
00:06:11,600 –> 00:06:14,640
the tools and training to manage their own care homes
178
00:06:14,800 –> 00:06:15,920
that you invest in,
179
00:06:16,320 –> 00:06:18,720
and Archangel investors in that real estate can feel
180
00:06:18,720 –> 00:06:20,720
secure in both their investment,
181
00:06:20,880 –> 00:06:21,760
their return.
182
00:06:22,000 –> 00:06:23,600
And the care that the elders get.
183
00:06:23,760 –> 00:06:24,640
The care is genuine.
184
00:06:24,640 –> 00:06:27,520
The owners are local and Archangel has Overwatch.
185
00:06:27,520 –> 00:06:29,520
If interested in this opportunity,
186
00:06:29,520 –> 00:06:35,760

187
00:06:36,160 –> 00:06:39,360
Joining us Jason Cable Row.
188
00:06:41,280 –> 00:06:41,800
Is it Cable?
189
00:06:42,160 –> 00:06:42,760
It is Cable.
190
00:06:43,120 –> 00:06:43,640
Is it really?
191
00:06:45,200 –> 00:06:47,760
My dad’s favorite movie when I was born was The Ballad
192
00:06:47,800 –> 00:06:50,160
of Cable Hogue starring Jason Rowe Bartz.
193
00:06:50,800 –> 00:06:53,760
I thought he was making a an alcoholic womanizing ne’er
194
00:06:53,760 –> 00:06:56,880
do well in the Old West who stumbles across an Oasis
195
00:06:56,880 –> 00:06:59,320
in the Arizona desert and plants his flag and starts
196
00:06:59,320 –> 00:07:01,880
his own little town along the incoming train line.
197
00:07:01,920 –> 00:07:02,720
Sounds about right.
198
00:07:02,880 –> 00:07:08,720
So Jason Robard in the Cable Guy.
199
00:07:10,080 –> 00:07:10,720
Cable Guy.
200
00:07:12,320 –> 00:07:13,680
Anyway, so Jason,
201
00:07:13,680 –> 00:07:17,760
the former executive director of the Michigan Republican
202
00:07:18,720 –> 00:07:21,120
Left because of the nonsense of 2020,
203
00:07:21,360 –> 00:07:21,920
all of that.
204
00:07:22,480 –> 00:07:26,160
Now you’re pretty much a big time strategist.
205
00:07:26,160 –> 00:07:26,880
Huge, right?
206
00:07:26,880 –> 00:07:27,600
Well, you won.
207
00:07:28,640 –> 00:07:32,480
You won probably the most hotly contested,
208
00:07:32,720 –> 00:07:35,920
most expensive congressional races,
209
00:07:36,720 –> 00:07:37,920
basically out of the Lansing area.
210
00:07:38,240 –> 00:07:39,680
Tom Barrett was been here.
211
00:07:39,920 –> 00:07:40,720
How’d that turn out for you,
212
00:07:42,320 –> 00:07:43,440
We it was.
213
00:07:43,520 –> 00:07:45,360
It should be the most expensive,
214
00:07:45,360 –> 00:07:46,720
if not in the top five.
215
00:07:46,720 –> 00:07:49,680
It’ll be over $40 million for one House seat,
216
00:07:50,480 –> 00:07:51,160
one House seat.
217
00:07:52,480 –> 00:07:55,680
And at one point there was consideration when I was
218
00:07:55,680 –> 00:08:00,160
talking to people in Washington in the Speaker’s office
219
00:08:00,200 –> 00:08:02,920
and in the majority Leader’s office last night that
220
00:08:02,920 –> 00:08:06,720
Tom could be end up being the 218th seat,
221
00:08:06,720 –> 00:08:08,880
giving Republicans A1 seat majority.
222
00:08:09,920 –> 00:08:12,120
We’re looking across to California and we get more
223
00:08:12,640 –> 00:08:14,680
It looks like the incumbents in California are going
224
00:08:14,680 –> 00:08:15,080
to survive.
225
00:08:15,080 –> 00:08:16,800
There was a lot of concern that they would lose and
226
00:08:16,800 –> 00:08:18,960
we may pick up three house seats in California.
227
00:08:19,080 –> 00:08:20,800
So we might as well keep going with that because I
228
00:08:20,800 –> 00:08:21,840
woke up this morning going,
229
00:08:22,480 –> 00:08:25,760
fuck, I’m tired cause I did Polish TV,
230
00:08:25,840 –> 00:08:27,360
Israeli TV,
231
00:08:28,160 –> 00:08:28,960
Glenn Beck,
232
00:08:28,960 –> 00:08:29,160
you know,
233
00:08:29,160 –> 00:08:31,280
I mean I was for a minute.
234
00:08:31,600 –> 00:08:32,800
People are interested in us,
235
00:08:32,800 –> 00:08:34,720
but they don’t know a fucking thing about us.
236
00:08:35,680 –> 00:08:36,560
So give it,
237
00:08:37,200 –> 00:08:38,280
The big sweep.
238
00:08:38,400 –> 00:08:40,440
We’re going to go short today because everybody’s going
239
00:08:40,440 –> 00:08:41,280
to be dialing around.
240
00:08:41,680 –> 00:08:42,240
But, you know,
241
00:08:42,240 –> 00:08:44,920
give us the sweep of the country and Michigan.
242
00:08:44,920 –> 00:08:45,640
What do we got here?
243
00:08:45,640 –> 00:08:46,560
What’s happened?
244
00:08:47,880 –> 00:08:48,280
Oh, listen,
245
00:08:48,320 –> 00:08:50,080
this is actually really important because this is
246
00:08:50,080 –> 00:08:50,840
the cheat sheet.
247
00:08:51,040 –> 00:08:53,680
Everyone knows there was 7 battleground States and,
248
00:08:53,680 –> 00:08:53,920
you know,
249
00:08:53,920 –> 00:08:56,000
there was a lot of debate on who’s going to win the
250
00:08:56,000 –> 00:08:58,560
Sunbelt states and who’s going to win the Blue Wall,
251
00:08:58,720 –> 00:08:59,840
the Rust Belt states.
252
00:09:00,760 –> 00:09:02,800
And it looks like Trump’s going to end up winning all
253
00:09:02,800 –> 00:09:03,360
seven of them.
254
00:09:04,000 –> 00:09:05,440
And not only win all seven,
255
00:09:05,440 –> 00:09:09,360
but dragging along probably a pretty significant Senate
256
00:09:09,360 –> 00:09:10,000
Majority.
257
00:09:11,040 –> 00:09:12,320
He picked up Ohio,
258
00:09:12,320 –> 00:09:13,200
West Virginia,
259
00:09:15,360 –> 00:09:17,280
Republicans are leading narrowly.
260
00:09:17,280 –> 00:09:19,800
It is margin of error in Pennsylvania and Nevada.
261
00:09:20,080 –> 00:09:22,880
Democrats are narrowly leading here in Michigan and
262
00:09:22,880 –> 00:09:23,680
in Wisconsin.
263
00:09:24,080 –> 00:09:25,080
So, you know,
264
00:09:25,080 –> 00:09:28,320
it’s going to be a four to six seat pickup just in
265
00:09:28,320 –> 00:09:28,960
the US Senate.
266
00:09:29,760 –> 00:09:32,880
And Republicans could end up with a 10 to 12 seat majority
267
00:09:32,880 –> 00:09:34,240
of all those California seats.
268
00:09:34,240 –> 00:09:37,040
Now we won’t know for weeks because California for
269
00:09:37,040 –> 00:09:40,160
some reason can’t figure out how to count votes like
270
00:09:40,240 –> 00:09:43,680
other red states like Florida seem to be able to do.
271
00:09:44,720 –> 00:09:47,160
But just talking to some consultants in California
272
00:09:47,160 –> 00:09:49,600
today, they feel pretty bullish that all the incumbents
273
00:09:49,600 –> 00:09:52,560
will survive and we maximum probably 3 pick up seats
274
00:09:52,560 –> 00:09:52,920
in the state.
275
00:09:52,920 –> 00:09:54,720
OK, so just in short.
276
00:09:55,040 –> 00:09:55,840
See if we got this,
277
00:09:56,720 –> 00:09:58,080
Trump’s won the popular vote.
278
00:09:58,320 –> 00:09:59,600
He’s won the Senate back,
279
00:09:59,600 –> 00:10:02,160
and most likely he’s got the House with a couple of
280
00:10:02,160 –> 00:10:02,680
more seats.
281
00:10:03,120 –> 00:10:05,200
OK, let’s go to Michigan.
282
00:10:06,120 –> 00:10:07,440
What was the spread here?
283
00:10:07,440 –> 00:10:09,640
What did we know about your congressional race?
284
00:10:09,640 –> 00:10:11,280
What about the Senate race?
285
00:10:11,320 –> 00:10:13,840
And what about the State House?
286
00:10:13,840 –> 00:10:16,480
Yeah, so the US Senate race,
287
00:10:16,480 –> 00:10:16,920
this is a,
288
00:10:17,040 –> 00:10:17,240
you know,
289
00:10:17,240 –> 00:10:18,400
a huge race.
290
00:10:18,400 –> 00:10:20,880
It’s gotten a lot of national and even international
291
00:10:20,880 –> 00:10:21,440
attention.
292
00:10:22,320 –> 00:10:23,560
You know, when I woke up this morning,
293
00:10:23,560 –> 00:10:25,520
Mike Rogers had a very slight lead.
294
00:10:25,520 –> 00:10:27,040
Kalamazoo County came in.
295
00:10:28,080 –> 00:10:30,320
Slotkin took a a very slight lead,
296
00:10:30,320 –> 00:10:32,280
I think about 3600 votes.
297
00:10:32,280 –> 00:10:34,600
That’s that is one vote per precinct in the state of
298
00:10:34,600 –> 00:10:35,040
Michigan.
299
00:10:35,040 –> 00:10:36,960
So anyone that says your vote doesn’t count,
300
00:10:36,960 –> 00:10:38,560
that’s an example of your vote counting.
301
00:10:39,360 –> 00:10:41,520
The remaining votes to be counted are in Wayne County.
302
00:10:41,520 –> 00:10:42,880
So depending on where they are,
303
00:10:43,760 –> 00:10:44,000
you know,
304
00:10:44,000 –> 00:10:44,640
who knows,
305
00:10:45,200 –> 00:10:45,440
you know,
306
00:10:45,760 –> 00:10:47,920
that means like.
307
00:10:48,800 –> 00:10:49,840
Who’s still outstanding?
308
00:10:49,840 –> 00:10:50,560
Is it Detroit?
309
00:10:50,560 –> 00:10:52,600
Which I don’t think it is because that piece we showed
310
00:10:52,600 –> 00:10:54,880
you that that was the absentee and we we started.
311
00:10:54,960 –> 00:10:57,120
Well, you were there to make sure that that was working
312
00:10:57,440 –> 00:11:00,360
So it’s had to be somewhere outside of a TCS.
313
00:11:00,360 –> 00:11:00,800
Yeah, I was.
314
00:11:00,880 –> 00:11:01,440
I was on it.
315
00:11:01,440 –> 00:11:03,160
You know, it was not to get lost.
316
00:11:03,160 –> 00:11:04,800
But what was interesting in 2020,
317
00:11:04,880 –> 00:11:05,760
the way, you know,
318
00:11:05,760 –> 00:11:06,960
cause there wasn’t,
319
00:11:07,440 –> 00:11:08,480
there wasn’t fraud.
320
00:11:08,480 –> 00:11:09,600
You know it and I know it.
321
00:11:10,640 –> 00:11:14,320
The way that you could tell 150,000 bogus valence didn’t
322
00:11:14,320 –> 00:11:16,240
come in at 4:00 in the morning is because.
323
00:11:17,040 –> 00:11:18,280
The guy sitting in chair one,
324
00:11:18,280 –> 00:11:19,840
me logged them in,
325
00:11:20,400 –> 00:11:21,560
logged the envelopes in,
326
00:11:21,560 –> 00:11:23,400
and then the envelope got opened,
327
00:11:23,440 –> 00:11:25,960
then the the ballot tab got torn off,
328
00:11:25,960 –> 00:11:27,080
then the ballot got processed.
329
00:11:27,520 –> 00:11:29,280
So there was an electronic time stamp.
330
00:11:29,280 –> 00:11:31,880
So you could just see there wasn’t 150,000 votes at
331
00:11:31,880 –> 00:11:32,440
5:00 in the morning.
332
00:11:32,960 –> 00:11:34,120
This year there was no computer,
333
00:11:35,120 –> 00:11:36,640
which I I I tell you,
334
00:11:36,640 –> 00:11:37,600
I didn’t see any fraud.
335
00:11:37,600 –> 00:11:38,800
It was on the up and up.
336
00:11:39,760 –> 00:11:42,400
But at a time when we’re worried about the sanctity
337
00:11:42,400 –> 00:11:43,360
of it, you know?
338
00:11:45,120 –> 00:11:47,280
To have the redundancy didn’t make sense to me.
339
00:11:47,760 –> 00:11:49,760
They it was almost like we were children.
340
00:11:50,560 –> 00:11:51,880
First envelope.
341
00:11:52,320 –> 00:11:53,640
Look, is it signed?
342
00:11:53,680 –> 00:11:54,800
Yes, it’s signed.
343
00:11:54,800 –> 00:11:55,680
Cut it open,
344
00:11:56,000 –> 00:11:56,880
give it to him.
345
00:11:57,440 –> 00:12:00,640
So was that for accuracy or is that just it was just
346
00:12:00,640 –> 00:12:01,600
for accuracy,
347
00:12:01,840 –> 00:12:05,760
Because you know it’s human error when you scan,
348
00:12:05,760 –> 00:12:06,760
scan the envelope.
349
00:12:07,160 –> 00:12:08,400
And then you process the ballot.
350
00:12:08,400 –> 00:12:10,440
You better have one envelope and you better have one
351
00:12:11,200 –> 00:12:12,000
Sometimes,
352
00:12:12,000 –> 00:12:13,680
like when you’re the clerk at the grocery store and
353
00:12:13,680 –> 00:12:17,000
you scan the corn and you thought you scanned it and
354
00:12:17,000 –> 00:12:17,320
you didn’t,
355
00:12:17,320 –> 00:12:18,640
but you put it in the bag anyway,
356
00:12:19,280 –> 00:12:19,680
that’s all.
357
00:12:19,760 –> 00:12:20,960
That’s all it was.
358
00:12:21,040 –> 00:12:22,320
So they didn’t want that now.
359
00:12:22,720 –> 00:12:24,920
Now it’s like one at a time.
360
00:12:24,920 –> 00:12:27,200
And instead of feeding all of these ballots in,
361
00:12:27,440 –> 00:12:29,160
it was one at a time.
362
00:12:29,200 –> 00:12:32,400
It was watching paint dry and the supervisor,
363
00:12:32,480 –> 00:12:33,160
cause I’m Laduff,
364
00:12:33,160 –> 00:12:33,680
you know what I mean?
365
00:12:34,320 –> 00:12:35,240
You couldn’t please this fuck.
366
00:12:35,240 –> 00:12:36,480
He was like my first stepdad.
367
00:12:36,480 –> 00:12:38,120
Nothing was ever good for these guys.
368
00:12:38,120 –> 00:12:41,280
It was just get off my fucking back or I’m not coming
369
00:12:41,280 –> 00:12:42,000
back tomorrow.
370
00:12:42,000 –> 00:12:42,880
But these are people that,
371
00:12:42,880 –> 00:12:43,120
you know,
372
00:12:43,120 –> 00:12:44,800
this is their opportunity to shine.
373
00:12:45,000 –> 00:12:46,320
You know, this is their one.
374
00:12:46,400 –> 00:12:47,120
So you got to give them,
375
00:12:47,120 –> 00:12:49,000
you got to give them that and just proceed.
376
00:12:49,440 –> 00:12:50,120
We had one of those.
377
00:12:50,320 –> 00:12:51,440
You may proceed.
378
00:12:51,800 –> 00:12:52,880
Just let him go.
379
00:12:53,040 –> 00:12:54,160
But OK, so where,
380
00:12:54,360 –> 00:12:55,040
OK, so right.
381
00:12:55,040 –> 00:12:56,240
So this one is.
382
00:12:56,720 –> 00:12:58,400
It’s a jump ball,
383
00:12:58,600 –> 00:13:00,640
And I think there’ll probably end up being a recount
384
00:13:00,640 –> 00:13:01,360
no matter who wins.
385
00:13:02,080 –> 00:13:03,280
So I expect that.
386
00:13:03,280 –> 00:13:04,720
And we might see that in Pennsylvania.
387
00:13:04,720 –> 00:13:05,840
We might see that in Nevada.
388
00:13:06,000 –> 00:13:08,000
Let me let me go back to Rogers for a minute.
389
00:13:09,520 –> 00:13:12,200
The Republicans blew that because they didn’t take
390
00:13:12,200 –> 00:13:13,760
it serious as a as a toss up.
391
00:13:13,760 –> 00:13:15,440
Because how much did Slotkin spend?
392
00:13:15,840 –> 00:13:17,120
Oh, the number.
393
00:13:17,160 –> 00:13:19,600
I mean, she just her campaign has to be around $40
394
00:13:19,600 –> 00:13:22,000
million and that doesn’t account for all the outside
395
00:13:22,000 –> 00:13:23,360
money that came in on her behalf,
396
00:13:23,360 –> 00:13:24,120
100 million.
397
00:13:24,120 –> 00:13:24,680
But I also,
398
00:13:24,800 –> 00:13:26,960
you got to be fair about the map that they were looking
399
00:13:27,080 –> 00:13:28,640
When this election cycle started,
400
00:13:28,640 –> 00:13:32,480
there were arguably 10 pick up opportunities for Republicans
401
00:13:32,480 –> 00:13:33,120
in the country.
402
00:13:33,840 –> 00:13:36,560
And when you look at the list and the history,
403
00:13:36,560 –> 00:13:39,040
most of those other states had a history of electing
404
00:13:39,040 –> 00:13:41,440
Republican senators in recent years.
405
00:13:41,920 –> 00:13:43,040
In the last 50 years,
406
00:13:43,040 –> 00:13:43,960
we have 19 U.S.
407
00:13:43,960 –> 00:13:46,640
Senate races in Michigan and Republicans won one time
408
00:13:47,000 –> 00:13:48,560
and that was in 1994.
409
00:13:49,040 –> 00:13:50,400
So when you look at,
410
00:13:50,400 –> 00:13:50,600
you know,
411
00:13:50,600 –> 00:13:52,320
what was going on in those other seats,
412
00:13:52,400 –> 00:13:54,880
Pennsylvania has elected Republican senators,
413
00:13:54,880 –> 00:13:56,560
Nevada, Wisconsin,
414
00:13:56,560 –> 00:13:59,160
all these states looked a lot better because we had
415
00:13:59,160 –> 00:14:01,440
elected Republican senators in those states in the
416
00:14:01,440 –> 00:14:02,640
last decade or two.
417
00:14:02,960 –> 00:14:04,360
Michigan was not like that.
418
00:14:04,360 –> 00:14:05,280
And then you had Slotkin,
419
00:14:05,520 –> 00:14:07,520
who’s one of the most formidable fundraisers in the
420
00:14:07,960 –> 00:14:09,360
I mean, her last congressional race,
421
00:14:09,360 –> 00:14:11,520
she raised $12 million for one House seat.
422
00:14:11,920 –> 00:14:14,320
And had another 14 million that came in in outside
423
00:14:14,320 –> 00:14:15,120
spending for her.
424
00:14:15,120 –> 00:14:15,680
So I think,
425
00:14:16,080 –> 00:14:16,320
you know,
426
00:14:16,320 –> 00:14:18,400
the NRSC and the Senate Leadership Fund,
427
00:14:18,400 –> 00:14:21,800
the big DC PACs that fund the outside spending in
428
00:14:21,800 –> 00:14:24,000
these campaigns looking at the map are like,
429
00:14:24,240 –> 00:14:25,280
well, Rogers could.
430
00:14:25,800 –> 00:14:28,600
And so his real challenge was to get himself in that
431
00:14:28,600 –> 00:14:30,480
top tier of races.
432
00:14:30,560 –> 00:14:33,600
And you saw Nevada kind of fall off because Sam Brown
433
00:14:33,600 –> 00:14:34,760
wasn’t doing very well.
434
00:14:34,760 –> 00:14:36,640
You saw Kerry Lake start to fall off.
435
00:14:36,960 –> 00:14:37,840
Larry Hogan,
436
00:14:38,240 –> 00:14:39,400
former governor of Maryland,
437
00:14:39,400 –> 00:14:40,200
was running in a.
438
00:14:42,320 –> 00:14:44,800
In perspective,
439
00:14:44,800 –> 00:14:46,880
he’s Delaware.
440
00:14:48,720 –> 00:14:50,000
Lake is Arizona.
441
00:14:50,400 –> 00:14:51,440
And what’s the third?
442
00:14:51,440 –> 00:14:53,560
Sam Brown’s in Nevada and he got blown out.
443
00:14:53,760 –> 00:14:55,680
No, he’s he’s right now.
444
00:14:55,680 –> 00:14:57,600
He has a slight lead in Nevada.
445
00:14:57,680 –> 00:14:58,920
OK, now Mike,
446
00:14:58,960 –> 00:15:00,240
but but a couple weeks ago,
447
00:15:01,440 –> 00:15:02,520
Sam Brown wasn’t on the map.
448
00:15:02,720 –> 00:15:03,440
Wisconsin.
449
00:15:03,440 –> 00:15:04,880
Eric Hovdy wasn’t on the map.
450
00:15:06,160 –> 00:15:06,960
You know, they were there.
451
00:15:06,960 –> 00:15:08,400
Mike was ahead of all of them.
452
00:15:08,560 –> 00:15:11,040
And and so then all of a sudden a ton of money started
453
00:15:11,040 –> 00:15:13,000
flowing into Mike cause he started looking like one
454
00:15:13,000 –> 00:15:13,840
of the better bets.
455
00:15:14,320 –> 00:15:19,360
And then maybe three weeks ago the senatorial committee
456
00:15:19,520 –> 00:15:22,440
sent 6 million or Senate leadership fund sent $6,000,000
457
00:15:22,440 –> 00:15:25,200
to Nevada because all of a sudden Sam Brown started
458
00:15:25,200 –> 00:15:27,760
closing in on the incumbent Democrat there,
459
00:15:28,000 –> 00:15:28,880
Jackie Rosen.
460
00:15:29,360 –> 00:15:29,960
And you know,
461
00:15:29,960 –> 00:15:32,080
all of a sudden the map got wider again,
462
00:15:32,400 –> 00:15:34,320
but they stayed committed to Mike.
463
00:15:35,360 –> 00:15:37,920
But you can’t underestimate Slotkin.
464
00:15:37,920 –> 00:15:40,560
She somehow has convinced people she’s a moderate.
465
00:15:40,560 –> 00:15:41,120
She’s not,
466
00:15:41,280 –> 00:15:42,480
but she’s got an image.
467
00:15:42,480 –> 00:15:43,080
It’s just money.
468
00:15:43,360 –> 00:15:43,840
But what’s?
469
00:15:43,880 –> 00:15:44,240
And I know,
470
00:15:45,280 –> 00:15:46,480
bear with me on this question,
471
00:15:46,480 –> 00:15:49,200
but what is the return on investment with that amount
472
00:15:49,200 –> 00:15:50,800
of money into a campaign?
473
00:15:50,800 –> 00:15:52,960
I mean, we talk about the money from an advertising
474
00:15:52,960 –> 00:15:53,760
standpoint that,
475
00:15:54,080 –> 00:15:54,320
you know,
476
00:15:54,320 –> 00:15:56,800
Harris Walspin and just in political campaigns,
477
00:15:57,520 –> 00:15:58,920
even if it’s just for the American people,
478
00:15:58,920 –> 00:16:00,160
what’s the return on investment?
479
00:16:00,880 –> 00:16:02,080
Well, for the people funding it,
480
00:16:02,080 –> 00:16:04,240
it is power controlling the Senate,
481
00:16:04,240 –> 00:16:04,880
the House,
482
00:16:04,880 –> 00:16:05,520
the agenda.
483
00:16:06,160 –> 00:16:07,720
Listen, there’s there’s some ideologues.
484
00:16:07,720 –> 00:16:09,720
There’s some rich ideologues that just want to see
485
00:16:09,720 –> 00:16:11,520
a conservative America that will spend money.
486
00:16:11,520 –> 00:16:14,480
But there’s a lot of rich special interests that want
487
00:16:14,480 –> 00:16:17,360
Republicans in control because they find it beneficial
488
00:16:17,360 –> 00:16:18,240
to their business.
489
00:16:18,240 –> 00:16:19,200
So that’s the ROI.
490
00:16:19,440 –> 00:16:20,000
But you know,
491
00:16:20,000 –> 00:16:22,080
it’s funny you bring that up when when Elissa Slotkin
492
00:16:22,080 –> 00:16:25,480
ran last time for that 7th district that Tom Barrett
493
00:16:25,480 –> 00:16:25,920
just won.
494
00:16:26,320 –> 00:16:29,080
The combined spending was $30 million,
495
00:16:29,080 –> 00:16:30,960
$39 million for that one House seat.
496
00:16:31,360 –> 00:16:33,680
And in February after that election,
497
00:16:33,680 –> 00:16:34,960
she announced for the US Senate.
498
00:16:35,360 –> 00:16:39,440
So they spent $39 million for someone to one month
499
00:16:39,440 –> 00:16:41,440
into being sworn in for her term,
500
00:16:41,600 –> 00:16:42,160
announces,
501
00:16:42,160 –> 00:16:43,120
oh, hey, I’m going to leave.
502
00:16:43,440 –> 00:16:45,680
Now imagine if she does lose this Senate seat,
503
00:16:45,680 –> 00:16:48,720
she will have cost them that House seat and the Senate
504
00:16:48,720 –> 00:16:50,560
seat if she if she doesn’t prevail.
505
00:16:50,640 –> 00:16:52,440
OK, so I’m sitting there last night cause I’m like,
506
00:16:52,560 –> 00:16:53,680
I got to go to bed.
507
00:16:53,680 –> 00:16:55,600
But these are some of my mad notes.
508
00:16:55,600 –> 00:16:56,080
I’m going to.
509
00:16:56,320 –> 00:16:56,680
Read them.
510
00:16:56,680 –> 00:16:59,280
You guys jump in the big losers,
511
00:17:00,800 –> 00:17:03,840
the media and the pollsters are dead.
512
00:17:04,640 –> 00:17:05,200
You agree with that?
513
00:17:07,120 –> 00:17:09,680
But but more the media than the pollsters.
514
00:17:09,680 –> 00:17:10,120
The pollsters,
515
00:17:10,120 –> 00:17:11,280
they’re doing what they can.
516
00:17:11,280 –> 00:17:13,920
But it’s hard to figure this stuff out when you don’t
517
00:17:13,920 –> 00:17:17,160
have people in your pool of voters that you’re trying
518
00:17:17,160 –> 00:17:19,120
to reach participating.
519
00:17:19,120 –> 00:17:21,360
And there’s a there was a New York Times column.
520
00:17:22,080 –> 00:17:26,960
That was talking about the gap in college educated
521
00:17:26,960 –> 00:17:29,360
men showing up because a lot of these guys just don’t
522
00:17:29,360 –> 00:17:30,320
participate in the poll.
523
00:17:30,560 –> 00:17:32,560
So you can’t get a representative sample when these
524
00:17:32,560 –> 00:17:35,040
guys are dialing and sending out texts and in,
525
00:17:35,280 –> 00:17:35,480
you know,
526
00:17:35,480 –> 00:17:38,120
they do a lot of web-based polling now because used
527
00:17:38,120 –> 00:17:39,440
to be even 10 years ago,
528
00:17:39,440 –> 00:17:40,880
everything was landlines,
529
00:17:41,160 –> 00:17:41,920
all landlines.
530
00:17:42,400 –> 00:17:44,640
Then you started adding in mobiles because you were
531
00:17:44,640 –> 00:17:46,000
getting a lot more old people.
532
00:17:46,000 –> 00:17:48,800
So you were getting more conservative sample of voters.
533
00:17:49,120 –> 00:17:50,640
So then they started working in mobile.
534
00:17:50,960 –> 00:17:52,720
Then people just on your mobile phone,
535
00:17:52,720 –> 00:17:53,600
if you don’t know the number,
536
00:17:54,000 –> 00:17:55,440
you just send it to voicemail.
537
00:17:55,440 –> 00:17:56,800
You’re not answering a number you don’t know.
538
00:17:56,800 –> 00:17:59,840
So then they start texting and then there’s web-based.
539
00:17:59,840 –> 00:18:02,560
So now usually you’ve got a hybrid of about four different
540
00:18:02,560 –> 00:18:03,960
ways that they’re collecting data.
541
00:18:03,960 –> 00:18:05,440
They consistently come on in,
542
00:18:05,680 –> 00:18:06,240
come on in.
543
00:18:06,640 –> 00:18:08,040
They consistently get it wrong.
544
00:18:08,640 –> 00:18:10,000
Well, they do because.
545
00:18:10,960 –> 00:18:11,840
So last cycle,
546
00:18:11,840 –> 00:18:12,120
you know,
547
00:18:12,120 –> 00:18:14,200
people didn’t want to admit that they supported Trump.
548
00:18:14,200 –> 00:18:16,160
And now these people just don’t want to participate
549
00:18:16,160 –> 00:18:16,600
in the poll.
550
00:18:16,800 –> 00:18:17,440
You want to sit in?
551
00:18:19,200 –> 00:18:20,240
Yeah, pull in a chair.
552
00:18:20,400 –> 00:18:21,120
Pull in a chair.
553
00:18:23,600 –> 00:18:24,080
No, come on,
554
00:18:24,080 –> 00:18:25,120
be part of the program.
555
00:18:25,640 –> 00:18:26,640
Are you Sky TV?
556
00:18:27,440 –> 00:18:28,240
Is that Australia?
557
00:18:30,280 –> 00:18:30,720
That’s OK.
558
00:18:31,880 –> 00:18:32,440
That’s OK.
559
00:18:32,640 –> 00:18:34,520
That’s a good Rupert Murdoch product.
560
00:18:34,520 –> 00:18:36,720
You’re going to start paying your fair share to NATO,
561
00:18:36,720 –> 00:18:37,280
motherfucker.
562
00:18:42,080 –> 00:18:43,040
They’re they’re back.
563
00:18:43,040 –> 00:18:44,320
We’re like,
564
00:18:44,960 –> 00:18:46,640
we’re like mating baboons.
565
00:18:47,120 –> 00:18:49,040
Everybody’s here in in Michigan for a day.
566
00:18:49,080 –> 00:18:50,880
And then and then here’s what I’m going to tell you,
567
00:18:52,960 –> 00:18:54,640
It’s all bullshit.
568
00:18:55,120 –> 00:18:56,240
Math bullshit.
569
00:18:56,400 –> 00:18:58,480
Do you know what’s going on with our auto jobs?
570
00:18:59,640 –> 00:19:01,000
Remember, we had a UAW strike.
571
00:19:01,000 –> 00:19:02,160
They got this great contract.
572
00:19:02,640 –> 00:19:04,320
Everybody’s getting laid off.
573
00:19:04,320 –> 00:19:06,560
They closed the plant in Warren.
574
00:19:07,560 –> 00:19:08,640
They’re shutting it down.
575
00:19:09,040 –> 00:19:10,560
In the east side of Detroit,
576
00:19:10,960 –> 00:19:12,720
the F-150,
577
00:19:12,720 –> 00:19:13,280
the Lightning,
578
00:19:13,280 –> 00:19:14,600
the Ford electric truck,
579
00:19:15,600 –> 00:19:16,880
that’s gone dark.
580
00:19:17,600 –> 00:19:18,720
This is what’s really going on.
581
00:19:18,720 –> 00:19:19,440
You know, you know,
582
00:19:19,920 –> 00:19:22,800
Dearborn was important because that’s where Ford’s
583
00:19:22,880 –> 00:19:24,000
world headquarters are.
584
00:19:25,640 –> 00:19:26,040
That’s it.
585
00:19:26,160 –> 00:19:26,800
Well, look at Lily.
586
00:19:26,960 –> 00:19:28,200
Look, they’re trying to direct me to my show,
587
00:19:28,360 –> 00:19:31,040
No, we want you to save that because the camera’s not
588
00:19:32,720 –> 00:19:33,920
No, you can ask me later.
589
00:19:33,920 –> 00:19:34,360
You can just,
590
00:19:34,360 –> 00:19:34,520
you know,
591
00:19:34,520 –> 00:19:35,440
we’ll fix it in post.
592
00:19:36,080 –> 00:19:36,520
No problem.
593
00:19:37,520 –> 00:19:38,400
Let’s go to the next one.
594
00:19:38,560 –> 00:19:39,760
Jocelyn Benson,
595
00:19:40,160 –> 00:19:41,440
the Secretary of State,
596
00:19:42,200 –> 00:19:42,960
Election Barbie,
597
00:19:42,960 –> 00:19:45,120
who election Barbie who wants to run for.
598
00:19:45,363 –> 00:19:46,083
It’s over for her,
599
00:19:46,083 –> 00:19:46,643
is it not?
600
00:19:47,123 –> 00:19:47,763
It should be.
601
00:19:48,563 –> 00:19:49,163
I mean, you know,
602
00:19:49,163 –> 00:19:52,923
we were told that illegal aliens can’t vote in our
603
00:19:52,923 –> 00:19:55,283
elections and then they catch one,
604
00:19:55,283 –> 00:19:57,123
but they didn’t catch one because the system caught
605
00:19:57,283 –> 00:19:59,883
The guy wanted to go change his ballot and went and
606
00:19:59,883 –> 00:20:00,523
asked for it back.
607
00:20:00,523 –> 00:20:02,483
That’s the only way they caught a Chinese national
608
00:20:02,723 –> 00:20:05,203
voting in our elections and then had to admit that
609
00:20:05,203 –> 00:20:06,963
because he already submitted his ballot,
610
00:20:07,283 –> 00:20:08,163
it’s already in the system.
611
00:20:08,163 –> 00:20:08,923
It’s going to be counted.
612
00:20:09,443 –> 00:20:09,963
Oh, come on,
613
00:20:10,003 –> 00:20:14,123
Jason, you know that it’s exceedingly rare that illegal
614
00:20:14,123 –> 00:20:14,883
immigrants vote.
615
00:20:15,483 –> 00:20:17,203
Which everybody.
616
00:20:17,203 –> 00:20:18,043
That’s what I was told.
617
00:20:18,083 –> 00:20:20,163
Everybody quotes the Brennan Center,
618
00:20:20,563 –> 00:20:21,603
the study they did.
619
00:20:21,603 –> 00:20:22,203
But you want to know,
620
00:20:22,243 –> 00:20:23,363
I looked into a real like,
621
00:20:23,363 –> 00:20:24,963
I got to know what they’re talking about.
622
00:20:25,043 –> 00:20:26,163
OK, right.
623
00:20:26,323 –> 00:20:29,123
Because when everything goes wrong in the United States,
624
00:20:29,683 –> 00:20:31,843
legislative body can’t get things done.
625
00:20:31,843 –> 00:20:33,203
The courts are weaponized.
626
00:20:33,283 –> 00:20:33,963
What have you.
627
00:20:33,963 –> 00:20:35,083
Everybody’s at each other’s throat.
628
00:20:35,523 –> 00:20:38,643
The great thing about America is we call a grand plebiscite
629
00:20:39,123 –> 00:20:43,203
that is a jury of 165 million people.
630
00:20:44,563 –> 00:20:54,403
It’s with ACPLEBICI public school.
631
00:20:54,403 –> 00:21:01,203
Watch this phonetics PLEBICITE.
632
00:21:01,683 –> 00:21:03,763
And I want to thank the great people of Michigan for
633
00:21:03,763 –> 00:21:06,483
paying their taxes and sending me to public school
634
00:21:07,123 –> 00:21:09,363
to learn to read and write and think.
635
00:21:10,323 –> 00:21:14,083
And I always try to return that favor to my community.
636
00:21:14,563 –> 00:21:17,443
They really helped me in life and spell and our schools
637
00:21:17,443 –> 00:21:18,083
are shit.
638
00:21:18,643 –> 00:21:19,843
OK, so Benson,
639
00:21:20,003 –> 00:21:20,483
you’re out.
640
00:21:21,683 –> 00:21:21,923
Wait, wait,
641
00:21:23,443 –> 00:21:23,883
The video.
642
00:21:23,883 –> 00:21:26,243
Did you see the video of her of her dancing?
643
00:21:27,203 –> 00:21:30,163
I mean, and that is kind of reflective of what the
644
00:21:30,163 –> 00:21:31,923
governor’s been doing and the whole night.
645
00:21:32,083 –> 00:21:35,363
So is that where we’re moving now in terms of convincing
646
00:21:35,363 –> 00:21:38,643
people that we’re capable of leading them dancing
647
00:21:38,643 –> 00:21:40,323
and the whole pandering and.
648
00:21:41,003 –> 00:21:42,963
I just, that’s too much for me.
649
00:21:43,883 –> 00:21:44,643
Whitmer’s dead.
650
00:21:45,203 –> 00:21:47,363
OK, yeah, we’re driven by click bait now.
651
00:21:47,443 –> 00:21:49,523
I mean, you look at AOC and the squad,
652
00:21:49,523 –> 00:21:51,123
you look at Marjorie Taylor Greene,
653
00:21:51,123 –> 00:21:52,283
you look at Lauren.
654
00:21:52,283 –> 00:21:53,523
What’s her name out in Colorado?
655
00:21:53,683 –> 00:21:54,083
All these.
656
00:21:54,883 –> 00:21:56,323
Yeah, Lauren Boebert.
657
00:21:56,323 –> 00:21:57,843
All these Paul’s now think that,
658
00:21:57,923 –> 00:21:58,163
you know,
659
00:21:58,163 –> 00:22:00,483
the way to to attract voters is to act like a fool
660
00:22:00,483 –> 00:22:01,283
on social media.
661
00:22:02,003 –> 00:22:02,403
All right.
662
00:22:02,403 –> 00:22:04,163
So we’re we’re talking.
663
00:22:04,723 –> 00:22:05,443
You were talking.
664
00:22:06,363 –> 00:22:09,683
Pre-show about you talked to a Democratic strategist
665
00:22:09,683 –> 00:22:12,243
who not only voted Trump but badgered her husband
666
00:22:12,723 –> 00:22:13,443
to vote Trump.
667
00:22:15,043 –> 00:22:15,603
Two reasons.
668
00:22:15,603 –> 00:22:18,643
One, the transgender stuff,
669
00:22:18,883 –> 00:22:20,403
like just what’s going on.
670
00:22:20,403 –> 00:22:22,723
And the 2nd is abortion.
671
00:22:23,043 –> 00:22:24,483
And she’s pro-choice.
672
00:22:24,963 –> 00:22:27,403
But she said the way they talk about abortion,
673
00:22:27,403 –> 00:22:28,723
it’s like something to be proud of.
674
00:22:28,803 –> 00:22:30,523
Like they want to hold the fetus up in the air and
675
00:22:30,523 –> 00:22:31,603
say look what I did and.
676
00:22:31,923 –> 00:22:33,283
There’s no humility about it.
677
00:22:33,283 –> 00:22:34,563
There’s no shame about it.
678
00:22:34,603 –> 00:22:35,443
There’s no stigma.
679
00:22:35,763 –> 00:22:36,963
It is like a virtue.
680
00:22:37,123 –> 00:22:38,243
You know, if you got an abortion,
681
00:22:38,243 –> 00:22:39,683
somehow that makes you a better person.
682
00:22:40,083 –> 00:22:41,923
And she’s just grossed out by.
683
00:22:42,243 –> 00:22:47,283
But she was worried because if Harris won,
684
00:22:47,283 –> 00:22:50,803
that that ends the political career of Whitmer.
685
00:22:50,803 –> 00:22:52,003
Now that Harris lost,
686
00:22:52,003 –> 00:22:52,883
Whitmer can run,
687
00:22:53,043 –> 00:22:53,563
start running.
688
00:22:53,563 –> 00:22:55,443
Well, that was a different person that said that.
689
00:22:55,443 –> 00:22:57,923
But they voted for Harris because they wanted to prevent
690
00:22:58,163 –> 00:22:59,763
Whitmer from running for president.
691
00:22:59,843 –> 00:23:01,523
See, and I don’t believe that Whitmer.
692
00:23:02,003 –> 00:23:04,123
I believe it’s over because you couldn’t even deliver
693
00:23:04,123 –> 00:23:05,923
Michigan for the Democrats.
694
00:23:06,243 –> 00:23:08,043
Like, and I know we said we were going to talk about
695
00:23:08,043 –> 00:23:08,363
this later.
696
00:23:08,363 –> 00:23:09,163
Hey, get out of my camera,
697
00:23:09,163 –> 00:23:09,643
motherfucker.
698
00:23:13,203 –> 00:23:14,483
And this is her good side,
699
00:23:14,483 –> 00:23:15,123
by the way.
700
00:23:15,723 –> 00:23:17,763
We’re trying to have a serious conversation here.
701
00:23:18,723 –> 00:23:20,883
But, but, but it’s going to change.
702
00:23:20,883 –> 00:23:22,603
You know, everybody’s waiting for the 7th,
703
00:23:23,123 –> 00:23:24,523
You know, we’ve got a mayoral election,
704
00:23:24,523 –> 00:23:26,163
we’ve got a governor’s race,
705
00:23:26,163 –> 00:23:26,483
you know,
706
00:23:27,443 –> 00:23:29,523
This is going to change the dynamics of that political
707
00:23:29,523 –> 00:23:32,003
chess game here in the state of Michigan drastically.
708
00:23:32,083 –> 00:23:33,283
As I call this,
709
00:23:33,283 –> 00:23:34,003
I will tell you,
710
00:23:34,083 –> 00:23:36,563
I will call the governor’s race right now.
711
00:23:36,643 –> 00:23:39,043
It’s going to be Duggan versus John James.
712
00:23:39,043 –> 00:23:40,243
Just throwing that out there.
713
00:23:40,563 –> 00:23:42,003
Just bookmark that.
714
00:23:42,723 –> 00:23:44,603
UK Sky TV wants to ask something.
715
00:23:44,883 –> 00:23:46,163
I mean, what’s,
716
00:23:46,163 –> 00:23:46,923
I guess, shocking to people?
717
00:23:47,123 –> 00:23:49,403
In the UK is the number of black people,
718
00:23:49,403 –> 00:23:52,443
Latinos, of Arab Americans,
719
00:23:52,523 –> 00:23:55,323
Muslims, ethnic minorities basically who’ve come out
720
00:23:55,323 –> 00:23:56,163
in support of Trump.
721
00:23:56,683 –> 00:23:57,603
What do you guys make of that?
722
00:23:57,643 –> 00:23:58,403
I mean, you’re in Michigan,
723
00:23:58,403 –> 00:23:59,323
so you see everything.
724
00:23:59,683 –> 00:24:00,083
These are,
725
00:24:00,083 –> 00:24:02,483
these are our loved ones and our neighbors and people
726
00:24:02,483 –> 00:24:03,123
we grew up with.
727
00:24:03,123 –> 00:24:05,923
So you guys don’t get us like this.
728
00:24:06,163 –> 00:24:07,843
It’s not working in the UK,
729
00:24:08,243 –> 00:24:08,723
You’re not.
730
00:24:09,043 –> 00:24:09,483
First of all,
731
00:24:09,483 –> 00:24:11,523
it’s too many people to absorb at once.
732
00:24:13,043 –> 00:24:14,163
For many decades,
733
00:24:14,163 –> 00:24:15,843
absorb people all at once.
734
00:24:15,923 –> 00:24:17,283
Doesn’t work for human beings.
735
00:24:17,363 –> 00:24:19,083
It’s got to be controlled.
736
00:24:19,203 –> 00:24:20,803
But black people,
737
00:24:20,963 –> 00:24:21,843
white people,
738
00:24:22,003 –> 00:24:22,803
brown people,
739
00:24:22,803 –> 00:24:24,883
we’ve been here forever.
740
00:24:25,363 –> 00:24:29,763
And I think we all see there’s no food in the cupboard.
741
00:24:30,483 –> 00:24:32,243
I can’t put gas in the car.
742
00:24:34,163 –> 00:24:35,563
You don’t wave fetuses around.
743
00:24:35,683 –> 00:24:36,883
Woman’s right to choose.
744
00:24:37,123 –> 00:24:37,683
It’s settled.
745
00:24:37,683 –> 00:24:38,723
We all agree with that.
746
00:24:38,723 –> 00:24:40,643
But it’s being hyperpoliticized.
747
00:24:41,123 –> 00:24:42,803
Tampons in the boys bathroom.
748
00:24:42,883 –> 00:24:44,483
War everywhere.
749
00:24:44,883 –> 00:24:45,283
What are we?
750
00:24:45,283 –> 00:24:46,403
What are we doing in Europe?
751
00:24:47,043 –> 00:24:48,083
We baited them in.
752
00:24:48,163 –> 00:24:48,803
Oh, by the way,
753
00:24:48,963 –> 00:24:52,163
the wave of Arabs that you got all at once.
754
00:24:52,243 –> 00:24:53,403
We did that cause of Iraq,
755
00:24:53,403 –> 00:24:53,763
didn’t we?
756
00:24:54,883 –> 00:24:56,003
Tony Blair fucked it up.
757
00:24:56,003 –> 00:24:56,963
George Bush fucked it up.
758
00:24:58,643 –> 00:24:59,443
We all see it.
759
00:24:59,443 –> 00:25:00,363
We’re sick of war.
760
00:25:00,363 –> 00:25:01,603
We’re sick of being broke.
761
00:25:01,603 –> 00:25:03,763
We’re sick of paying for murder.
762
00:25:04,563 –> 00:25:05,923
And it’s just come to be.
763
00:25:05,923 –> 00:25:09,043
It’s pretty simple because we’re all human beings and
764
00:25:09,203 –> 00:25:12,323
we all love our children and we get along pretty good.
765
00:25:14,163 –> 00:25:15,963
We get along really well when our politicians aren’t
766
00:25:15,963 –> 00:25:17,363
trying to pit us against each other.
767
00:25:17,443 –> 00:25:18,923
That’s more often what it is,
768
00:25:19,123 –> 00:25:22,523
is Paul’s exploiting differences where we all want
769
00:25:22,523 –> 00:25:24,003
to focus on our commonalities.
770
00:25:24,003 –> 00:25:26,123
The politicians want to split us up.
771
00:25:26,123 –> 00:25:26,963
Can you let her speak?
772
00:25:26,963 –> 00:25:27,723
Stop mansplaining,
773
00:25:27,923 –> 00:25:28,323
motherfucker.
774
00:25:29,523 –> 00:25:31,683
But I also think that that group,
775
00:25:31,683 –> 00:25:34,363
that demographic got tired of being taken for granted
776
00:25:34,643 –> 00:25:37,363
for so long and not getting anything back.
777
00:25:37,363 –> 00:25:38,323
And I think that,
778
00:25:38,643 –> 00:25:38,883
you know,
779
00:25:38,883 –> 00:25:41,603
social media over time has been both good and bad
780
00:25:41,603 –> 00:25:42,963
as it relates to politics.
781
00:25:43,123 –> 00:25:45,403
But it has allowed people to have a conversation that
782
00:25:45,403 –> 00:25:46,723
they wouldn’t otherwise have,
783
00:25:46,963 –> 00:25:49,123
to be able to get insight that they wouldn’t otherwise
784
00:25:49,123 –> 00:25:50,563
have access to and say,
785
00:25:50,563 –> 00:25:51,123
wait a minute,
786
00:25:51,283 –> 00:25:53,043
we’ve been asking for the same thing.
787
00:25:53,043 –> 00:25:54,323
We’ve been getting promises.
788
00:25:54,323 –> 00:25:56,643
We’ve been getting everything but results.
789
00:25:57,443 –> 00:25:59,563
Maybe let me do something different or let me just
790
00:25:59,563 –> 00:26:01,043
pull back and see where the chips fall.
791
00:26:01,203 –> 00:26:03,363
Well, and I point to your question,
792
00:26:03,363 –> 00:26:04,563
four things that I look at.
793
00:26:04,563 –> 00:26:09,563
One is Trump’s rise in 16 and who his audience was,
794
00:26:09,563 –> 00:26:10,883
which was working class people,
795
00:26:10,883 –> 00:26:12,443
not just white working class people.
796
00:26:12,443 –> 00:26:15,603
And people forget Barack Obama won the presidency because
797
00:26:15,603 –> 00:26:17,043
he won over the white working class.
798
00:26:17,043 –> 00:26:20,083
Well, let me throw this in in 2016 when they didn’t
799
00:26:20,083 –> 00:26:20,803
pick it again.
800
00:26:21,683 –> 00:26:23,043
Oh, we don’t get you folks.
801
00:26:23,763 –> 00:26:29,123
We’re going to send Sky TV to Michigan for three weeks
802
00:26:29,203 –> 00:26:31,203
to understand you folks,
803
00:26:32,003 –> 00:26:34,563
And the New York Times and the New York Times and every.
804
00:26:34,723 –> 00:26:35,603
And then they left.
805
00:26:36,323 –> 00:26:37,683
And now all the sudden we’re back.
806
00:26:37,843 –> 00:26:39,043
We don’t get you folks,
807
00:26:40,363 –> 00:26:41,123
And Obama.
808
00:26:41,763 –> 00:26:44,123
Yeah, we all flipped working class.
809
00:26:45,203 –> 00:26:47,203
But as Trump was coming down that escalator,
810
00:26:47,203 –> 00:26:49,843
this is after we bailed out the big banks for the
811
00:26:49,843 –> 00:26:50,683
mortgage crisis.
812
00:26:50,683 –> 00:26:51,803
You know who didn’t get taken care of?
813
00:26:51,803 –> 00:26:53,043
The people that lost their homes,
814
00:26:53,283 –> 00:26:54,483
people that lost their jobs,
815
00:26:54,483 –> 00:26:56,003
that lost their retirement savings.
816
00:26:57,123 –> 00:26:58,243
You had the auto bailout.
817
00:26:58,243 –> 00:27:00,243
So you had a bunch of bailouts and all the bigs got
818
00:27:00,243 –> 00:27:00,963
taken care of.
819
00:27:01,283 –> 00:27:03,083
Then the 2nd wave was COVID.
820
00:27:03,283 –> 00:27:06,243
Where the elites and the powerful got more powerful
821
00:27:06,243 –> 00:27:06,883
and more rich.
822
00:27:06,883 –> 00:27:08,083
So big government,
823
00:27:08,323 –> 00:27:09,123
big tech,
824
00:27:09,283 –> 00:27:10,163
big business,
825
00:27:10,163 –> 00:27:11,203
big media,
826
00:27:11,363 –> 00:27:13,683
big cities and working class people,
827
00:27:13,683 –> 00:27:14,323
entrepreneurs,
828
00:27:14,323 –> 00:27:16,403
small business owners all had a boot put on their
829
00:27:17,363 –> 00:27:19,523
So I think a lot of people came through that and they
830
00:27:19,603 –> 00:27:22,483
felt like they got gaslit on what was happening.
831
00:27:23,203 –> 00:27:25,923
And then and then a lot of it is the gaslighting.
832
00:27:26,003 –> 00:27:29,043
I mean, just being constantly told that what you see,
833
00:27:29,043 –> 00:27:30,323
don’t believe your lying eyes.
834
00:27:30,403 –> 00:27:31,523
It’s something different.
835
00:27:31,523 –> 00:27:32,483
Let me throw this in now.
836
00:27:32,483 –> 00:27:33,363
Listen, folks,
837
00:27:33,843 –> 00:27:35,123
we got a realignment now,
838
00:27:35,363 –> 00:27:36,083
as you said,
839
00:27:37,123 –> 00:27:37,803
Arab people,
840
00:27:37,803 –> 00:27:38,763
Hispanic people,
841
00:27:38,763 –> 00:27:39,523
white people,
842
00:27:39,523 –> 00:27:40,683
black, OK,
843
00:27:42,483 –> 00:27:46,323
do not let the elites steal it.
844
00:27:47,283 –> 00:27:49,123
So I’ll use Ted Cruz,
845
00:27:49,603 –> 00:27:52,483
Laura Ingraham on Fox says all the working people.
846
00:27:52,483 –> 00:27:54,243
You’re not fucking working people.
847
00:27:54,723 –> 00:27:56,243
Your shit got taken from you.
848
00:27:56,403 –> 00:27:59,763
You’re trying to pretend you’re part of the gang so
849
00:27:59,763 –> 00:28:03,203
you can run the shit into ignominy once again.
850
00:28:03,443 –> 00:28:04,483
Don’t let them do it.
851
00:28:04,723 –> 00:28:06,163
They don’t let them do it.
852
00:28:06,483 –> 00:28:07,923
Our jobs are disappearing.
853
00:28:08,083 –> 00:28:09,323
Our savings are disappearing.
854
00:28:09,363 –> 00:28:11,043
The money’s becoming useless.
855
00:28:11,563 –> 00:28:12,723
We’re up to here in debt.
856
00:28:12,803 –> 00:28:14,003
The schools are terrible.
857
00:28:14,243 –> 00:28:17,363
Do not let them put on a Halloween costume.
858
00:28:18,003 –> 00:28:18,843
But you said something,
859
00:28:18,843 –> 00:28:21,163
Jason, that a lot of people have not talked about
860
00:28:21,163 –> 00:28:22,483
and that’s a small business,
861
00:28:22,563 –> 00:28:25,283
the impact on small business during COVID,
862
00:28:25,363 –> 00:28:26,963
not just from an employee standpoint,
863
00:28:27,203 –> 00:28:29,283
but you think of all the loans that were forgiven
864
00:28:30,043 –> 00:28:31,283
Professional sports teams,
865
00:28:31,283 –> 00:28:31,963
the airlines,
866
00:28:31,963 –> 00:28:32,403
whatever.
867
00:28:32,643 –> 00:28:36,083
The SBA has still saddlebagged a lot of small businesses.
868
00:28:36,243 –> 00:28:37,123
There’s no extension,
869
00:28:37,123 –> 00:28:38,003
there’s no forgiveness,
870
00:28:38,003 –> 00:28:38,403
there’s no,
871
00:28:38,403 –> 00:28:39,203
there’s nothing.
872
00:28:39,483 –> 00:28:40,563
And nobody’s talked about that.
873
00:28:40,563 –> 00:28:41,443
So you know,
874
00:28:41,523 –> 00:28:42,243
did you notice,
875
00:28:42,283 –> 00:28:43,283
did you notice in this,
876
00:28:44,083 –> 00:28:45,443
Inflation Reduction Act,
877
00:28:45,683 –> 00:28:48,323
this trillions we’re throwing out there.
878
00:28:48,323 –> 00:28:51,323
We’re talking to energy providers,
879
00:28:51,323 –> 00:28:53,923
we’re talking to solar panel makers,
880
00:28:54,083 –> 00:28:57,083
but they never invited small business owners into
881
00:28:57,083 –> 00:28:57,723
the discussion,
882
00:28:57,723 –> 00:28:58,723
never to the White House,
883
00:28:58,803 –> 00:29:01,043
which is 2/3 of the employers in this country,
884
00:29:02,243 –> 00:29:03,163
And you know,
885
00:29:03,923 –> 00:29:05,763
you’re talking about giving money to start.
886
00:29:06,003 –> 00:29:06,883
A small business.
887
00:29:06,923 –> 00:29:09,683
What about what needs to be done for sustainability
888
00:29:09,683 –> 00:29:10,643
of those small businesses,
889
00:29:10,643 –> 00:29:11,843
the ones that are already here?
890
00:29:12,083 –> 00:29:13,083
So already on the feet,
891
00:29:13,083 –> 00:29:13,963
already employing people.
892
00:29:14,963 –> 00:29:15,483
You know what?
893
00:29:17,443 –> 00:29:19,243
Fucking this poll out of Iowa,
894
00:29:19,243 –> 00:29:21,923
like all of a sudden Iowa’s going 3%
895
00:29:21,923 –> 00:29:25,523
for Harris because there’s a woman wave going on here.
896
00:29:25,683 –> 00:29:29,723
Well, it turns out that Trump wins Iowa by 13.
897
00:29:29,883 –> 00:29:33,603
This this woman’s over and the media runs with it.
898
00:29:34,523 –> 00:29:36,163
As if breathlessly,
899
00:29:36,163 –> 00:29:37,283
something’s happening.
900
00:29:37,683 –> 00:29:38,483
It’s wrong.
901
00:29:38,803 –> 00:29:39,763
It’s on the front page of the.
902
00:29:40,003 –> 00:29:42,723
I need to cancel that subscription.
903
00:29:43,523 –> 00:29:43,963
I need to,
904
00:29:44,163 –> 00:29:45,123
which reminds me,
905
00:29:45,123 –> 00:29:47,523
I’m going to let me call my buddy Alan Foyer,
906
00:29:47,523 –> 00:29:48,243
who covers Trump.
907
00:29:48,883 –> 00:29:50,883
You know, I used to work at the New York Times.
908
00:29:50,883 –> 00:29:52,323
It’s my old time buddy.
909
00:29:52,323 –> 00:29:53,723
I’m just going to call him straight up here.
910
00:29:53,723 –> 00:29:55,883
They didn’t deliver my paper Sunday.
911
00:29:56,323 –> 00:29:58,643
And they didn’t even put it on the porch,
912
00:29:58,883 –> 00:30:00,243
That motherfuckers on the sidewalk.
913
00:30:00,443 –> 00:30:02,323
I call and they said we’ll deliver it tomorrow.
914
00:30:02,323 –> 00:30:03,363
That would have been Monday.
915
00:30:03,363 –> 00:30:04,803
I didn’t get it Monday either.
916
00:30:06,083 –> 00:30:12,243
That’s what happens when you have like natural born
917
00:30:12,363 –> 00:30:14,923
old white guys who don’t want to work hard and get
918
00:30:14,923 –> 00:30:15,923
out of the car and put it.
919
00:30:16,083 –> 00:30:19,443
Get me a Venezuelan to get my fucking paper on the
920
00:30:20,083 –> 00:30:20,963
Charlie, don’t say that.
921
00:30:20,963 –> 00:30:21,643
Well, I’m just saying.
922
00:30:22,083 –> 00:30:24,203
I’m just saying that there’s a young kid.
923
00:30:24,243 –> 00:30:26,563
There’s a young kid that delivers a paper.
924
00:30:28,563 –> 00:30:29,923
What year are you living in?
925
00:30:30,003 –> 00:30:30,403
What is he?
926
00:30:30,563 –> 00:30:31,683
Is he with his banana bike?
927
00:30:31,843 –> 00:30:34,283
No, his his mom drives him actually,
928
00:30:34,283 –> 00:30:36,763
and he throws because he broke something on my porch
929
00:30:38,003 –> 00:30:39,443
So yeah, I remember we had a substitute,
930
00:30:39,443 –> 00:30:39,843
you know,
931
00:30:40,723 –> 00:30:41,563
deliver the papers.
932
00:30:41,563 –> 00:30:44,443
So a guy got a a sub job from his buddy and he asked
933
00:30:44,443 –> 00:30:46,603
me to help him and we just took him out to the woods
934
00:30:46,603 –> 00:30:47,203
and burned them.
935
00:30:48,563 –> 00:30:49,883
I used to do that with magazines.
936
00:30:49,883 –> 00:30:50,283
Say again.
937
00:30:50,283 –> 00:30:51,283
Can I throw a question in?
938
00:30:51,283 –> 00:30:53,283
As a woman of color,
939
00:30:53,843 –> 00:30:55,443
how did the Harris campaign started?
940
00:30:57,163 –> 00:30:58,203
As a woman of color,
941
00:30:58,203 –> 00:31:01,403
how did the Harris campaign speak to you or how did
942
00:31:01,403 –> 00:31:02,483
you feel about it?
943
00:31:02,483 –> 00:31:04,723
Well, I want to take that out because I’m a person
944
00:31:04,723 –> 00:31:06,843
that’s been in politics and I’ve been a person that’s
945
00:31:06,843 –> 00:31:09,843
been in media and I’ve been a resident who is.
946
00:31:10,883 –> 00:31:13,443
Aware of and sensitive to the challenges of people.
947
00:31:13,443 –> 00:31:14,323
So, I mean,
948
00:31:14,363 –> 00:31:15,363
I’m all for,
949
00:31:15,363 –> 00:31:15,603
you know,
950
00:31:15,603 –> 00:31:16,403
the first woman,
951
00:31:16,403 –> 00:31:17,043
the first this,
952
00:31:17,043 –> 00:31:17,763
the first that.
953
00:31:18,003 –> 00:31:19,363
But I wanted substance.
954
00:31:19,363 –> 00:31:22,443
You know, I wanted to hear policy and not promises.
955
00:31:22,443 –> 00:31:26,603
I wanted to hear a plan and a conversation that didn’t
956
00:31:26,603 –> 00:31:27,603
feel performative.
957
00:31:29,123 –> 00:31:29,443
All right,
958
00:31:29,443 –> 00:31:29,963
now let’s call,
959
00:31:29,963 –> 00:31:32,483
let’s call the New York Times and see if he answers.
960
00:31:32,483 –> 00:31:33,603
He’s probably very busy.
961
00:31:34,723 –> 00:31:38,123
OK, here we go.
962
00:31:38,803 –> 00:31:39,443
Hey, Alan.
963
00:31:39,443 –> 00:31:40,243
He practiced.
964
00:31:40,643 –> 00:31:41,203
It’s Charlie,
965
00:31:42,403 –> 00:31:42,803
What’s up?
966
00:31:43,083 –> 00:31:43,883
What are you doing?
967
00:31:43,883 –> 00:31:44,403
Where you at?
968
00:31:45,323 –> 00:31:47,403
You know, just working away,
969
00:31:47,723 –> 00:31:48,323
plugging away,
970
00:31:48,443 –> 00:31:49,203
doing what I do.
971
00:31:49,683 –> 00:31:50,403
What’s going on?
972
00:31:50,403 –> 00:31:51,843
You’re doing the Trump Trump Trump,
973
00:31:52,643 –> 00:31:53,523
So it must have been.
974
00:31:54,003 –> 00:31:55,723
Are you in the Manhattan office?
975
00:31:56,883 –> 00:31:59,283
I came in for the big night.
976
00:31:59,443 –> 00:32:00,043
The big night.
977
00:32:00,323 –> 00:32:01,243
What did they serve?
978
00:32:01,243 –> 00:32:01,963
Did you get food?
979
00:32:01,963 –> 00:32:02,803
Did you get?
980
00:32:03,723 –> 00:32:04,243
Yeah, we had some.
981
00:32:04,323 –> 00:32:05,403
We had some pizza.
982
00:32:05,603 –> 00:32:06,603
We had some Chinese.
983
00:32:07,283 –> 00:32:08,003
There’s a good spread,
984
00:32:08,963 –> 00:32:09,443
And that’s it.
985
00:32:09,683 –> 00:32:10,803
I mean, what would you,
986
00:32:10,883 –> 00:32:11,123
you know,
987
00:32:11,123 –> 00:32:11,883
that sounds like lunch.
988
00:32:11,883 –> 00:32:12,803
What did you get for dinner?
989
00:32:13,923 –> 00:32:15,443
I had a little BBQ.
990
00:32:15,923 –> 00:32:16,563
Little BBQ.
991
00:32:16,563 –> 00:32:19,683
Some Mediterranean.
992
00:32:21,523 –> 00:32:22,083
Mediterranean.
993
00:32:22,083 –> 00:32:22,723
Did they have Kibbe?
994
00:32:22,883 –> 00:32:23,363
You know, like,
995
00:32:24,723 –> 00:32:25,283
yeah, exactly.
996
00:32:25,363 –> 00:32:26,283
Kibbe baked.
997
00:32:26,883 –> 00:32:27,683
Oh, it’s baked Kibbe.
998
00:32:27,763 –> 00:32:28,963
Oh, very sensible.
999
00:32:29,363 –> 00:32:30,803
Bobby Kennedy would approve.
1000
00:32:32,203 –> 00:32:32,763
Perhaps, yeah.
1001
00:32:32,763 –> 00:32:32,963
All right.
1002
00:32:33,883 –> 00:32:35,203
What’s on your mind?
1003
00:32:35,603 –> 00:32:36,723
We were just we’re doing.
1004
00:32:36,723 –> 00:32:37,523
Oh, you’re sorry.
1005
00:32:37,523 –> 00:32:38,163
You’re live,
1006
00:32:38,883 –> 00:32:39,883
You’re on the podcast.
1007
00:32:40,323 –> 00:32:40,803
Oh, oh, oh,
1008
00:32:41,243 –> 00:32:42,843
well, we’ll fix it in the post.
1009
00:32:42,843 –> 00:32:43,483
Sorry about that.
1010
00:32:44,003 –> 00:32:44,363
That’s OK.
1011
00:32:44,723 –> 00:32:46,963
OK, so I’m thinking,
1012
00:32:47,843 –> 00:32:48,883
OK, Trump wins.
1013
00:32:49,123 –> 00:32:50,003
Everybody got it wrong.
1014
00:32:50,163 –> 00:32:54,723
But you’re covering all of his court cases now that
1015
00:32:55,043 –> 00:32:56,963
now that he’s the president-elect.
1016
00:32:57,683 –> 00:33:00,563
What’s going to take us if you could through each one
1017
00:33:00,563 –> 00:33:00,923
real quick.
1018
00:33:00,923 –> 00:33:01,563
I know you’re busy.
1019
00:33:01,563 –> 00:33:02,083
Yeah, yeah,
1020
00:33:02,163 –> 00:33:02,563
yeah, yeah.
1021
00:33:03,123 –> 00:33:05,443
I’ll, I’ll run you through the details and I’ll give
1022
00:33:05,443 –> 00:33:05,923
you the big thought.
1023
00:33:06,323 –> 00:33:06,763
How about that?
1024
00:33:06,763 –> 00:33:07,363
Yeah, that’s great.
1025
00:33:07,363 –> 00:33:07,683
All right.
1026
00:33:08,003 –> 00:33:08,323
All right.
1027
00:33:08,323 –> 00:33:09,523
So, you know,
1028
00:33:10,563 –> 00:33:12,323
4 cases, two federal,
1029
00:33:12,803 –> 00:33:16,043
two brought by state prosecutors,
1030
00:33:16,883 –> 00:33:19,683
So basically as soon as Trump takes office,
1031
00:33:20,163 –> 00:33:20,483
you know,
1032
00:33:20,483 –> 00:33:23,363
he, he, he will have the authority to basically tell
1033
00:33:23,523 –> 00:33:24,843
his new attorney general to.
1034
00:33:25,363 –> 00:33:27,123
To drop the two federal cases,
1035
00:33:27,443 –> 00:33:28,563
The first federal case,
1036
00:33:28,963 –> 00:33:30,483
one of them is in Washington.
1037
00:33:30,723 –> 00:33:33,203
That’s one where he’s been accused of trying to overturn
1038
00:33:33,203 –> 00:33:34,083
the last election.
1039
00:33:34,083 –> 00:33:37,363
And then the other one is in Florida.
1040
00:33:37,363 –> 00:33:40,403
That’s the one where he’s been accused of illegally
1041
00:33:40,403 –> 00:33:43,283
holding on to all those super secret classified documents
1042
00:33:45,083 –> 00:33:48,483
You know, he’s already promised to fire the special
1043
00:33:48,483 –> 00:33:49,203
prosecutor,
1044
00:33:49,203 –> 00:33:49,803
Jack Smith,
1045
00:33:50,123 –> 00:33:52,483
who brought those cases against him to begin with.
1046
00:33:52,883 –> 00:33:53,523
And you know,
1047
00:33:54,083 –> 00:33:56,563
it’ll be within his rights to more or less pull the
1048
00:33:56,563 –> 00:33:57,843
plug on those cases.
1049
00:33:58,643 –> 00:34:01,603
A little more complicated with the state cases,
1050
00:34:01,843 –> 00:34:03,683
So one of those state cases is,
1051
00:34:04,083 –> 00:34:06,083
is here in New York City.
1052
00:34:06,643 –> 00:34:08,363
That’s the one where he got convicted,
1053
00:34:08,723 –> 00:34:13,843
34 felony counts falsifying business records to cover
1054
00:34:14,323 –> 00:34:16,963
The payments he made to Stormy Daniels,
1055
00:34:17,123 –> 00:34:17,803
the porn stuff,
1056
00:34:18,963 –> 00:34:20,483
And he’s going to be,
1057
00:34:20,723 –> 00:34:22,443
he’s got a sentencing thing on that,
1058
00:34:22,803 –> 00:34:23,123
you know,
1059
00:34:23,123 –> 00:34:24,323
at the end of this month.
1060
00:34:24,963 –> 00:34:30,003
And So what he’s probably going to do even today is
1061
00:34:30,003 –> 00:34:31,123
go to the judge and say,
1062
00:34:31,123 –> 00:34:33,363
hey, I am now the president-elect.
1063
00:34:33,763 –> 00:34:34,483
You know, you got to,
1064
00:34:34,563 –> 00:34:36,643
you got to put this sentencing thing off because you
1065
00:34:36,643 –> 00:34:37,883
can’t, you can’t,
1066
00:34:37,923 –> 00:34:38,243
you know,
1067
00:34:38,283 –> 00:34:40,563
impose a sentence on me when I’ve got a transition
1068
00:34:40,963 –> 00:34:42,963
I got to get my people in order for the White House.
1069
00:34:43,283 –> 00:34:47,923
So he’s going to use basically the election as a way
1070
00:34:47,923 –> 00:34:52,763
to try to indefinitely delay that sentencing.
1071
00:34:52,803 –> 00:34:53,683
We’ll see if it works.
1072
00:34:53,683 –> 00:34:54,323
It may work.
1073
00:34:54,323 –> 00:34:54,883
It may not.
1074
00:34:55,723 –> 00:34:58,723
What’s almost certainly not going to happen is even
1075
00:34:58,723 –> 00:34:59,443
if the judge says,
1076
00:34:59,443 –> 00:35:01,923
look, I’m going to issue the sentence right.
1077
00:35:02,803 –> 00:35:06,403
It’s not going to be imposed on him until until after
1078
00:35:06,563 –> 00:35:07,603
he gets out of office,
1079
00:35:08,203 –> 00:35:09,483
They’re not going to like,
1080
00:35:09,923 –> 00:35:10,083
you know,
1081
00:35:10,163 –> 00:35:11,363
even if he gets jail time,
1082
00:35:11,403 –> 00:35:12,003
which is an if,
1083
00:35:12,643 –> 00:35:13,043
is an if,
1084
00:35:14,803 –> 00:35:17,523
they’re not going to lock up the president-elect while
1085
00:35:17,523 –> 00:35:19,163
he’s trying to staff a White House.
1086
00:35:19,163 –> 00:35:21,163
This is not going to happen.
1087
00:35:21,163 –> 00:35:23,203
And the 4th is is Fulton County,
1088
00:35:23,203 –> 00:35:24,643
Fulton County,
1089
00:35:25,243 –> 00:35:27,043
That’s that is the mirror,
1090
00:35:27,243 –> 00:35:29,363
the state mirror image of the federal case.
1091
00:35:29,763 –> 00:35:31,283
Trying to overturn the last election.
1092
00:35:31,523 –> 00:35:36,043
That case is is already kind of in limbo because the
1093
00:35:36,043 –> 00:35:40,123
prosecutor who brought it had a a a romantic relationship
1094
00:35:40,123 –> 00:35:42,963
with one of her deputies and the defense found out
1095
00:35:42,963 –> 00:35:43,443
about it.
1096
00:35:44,123 –> 00:35:44,643
Excuse me.
1097
00:35:45,483 –> 00:35:47,763
And there was this whole brouhaha and it’s it’s like
1098
00:35:47,763 –> 00:35:50,803
tied up in in the appeals of whether she should even
1099
00:35:50,803 –> 00:35:51,923
remain on the case.
1100
00:35:52,723 –> 00:35:53,603
That said,
1101
00:35:54,563 –> 00:35:57,363
for sure Trump will at least attempt.
1102
00:35:57,603 –> 00:35:58,323
To say, hey,
1103
00:35:58,643 –> 00:35:59,123
you know,
1104
00:35:59,363 –> 00:36:02,963
you can’t pursue A prosecution against against a sitting
1105
00:36:02,963 –> 00:36:03,603
president.
1106
00:36:03,923 –> 00:36:05,523
It just goes counter to like,
1107
00:36:06,083 –> 00:36:06,323
you know,
1108
00:36:06,323 –> 00:36:08,683
the nature of trying to like you can’t run the government
1109
00:36:08,683 –> 00:36:09,563
while you have these things.
1110
00:36:10,003 –> 00:36:12,883
Again, no guarantee that those arguments will work.
1111
00:36:13,283 –> 00:36:13,763
Let me pause.
1112
00:36:13,763 –> 00:36:16,963
Let me pause you right there cause we got Sky TV in
1113
00:36:17,683 –> 00:36:18,483
Do you hear that?
1114
00:36:18,483 –> 00:36:19,923
Do you hear what’s going on in this country?
1115
00:36:19,963 –> 00:36:21,443
What what the main,
1116
00:36:21,523 –> 00:36:23,523
the only reason I don’t cancel the New York Times
1117
00:36:23,603 –> 00:36:25,763
is cause of this guy cause he’s that good.
1118
00:36:26,643 –> 00:36:27,603
He’s telling you,
1119
00:36:28,483 –> 00:36:31,043
look at the state of the country and and the courts
1120
00:36:31,043 –> 00:36:32,683
and we’re we’re in a position.
1121
00:36:32,683 –> 00:36:37,443
Imagine the Prime Minister has to go to court on some
1122
00:36:37,923 –> 00:36:40,963
ancillary matter and what that does to governance
1123
00:36:41,523 –> 00:36:42,883
in the state of the world right now.
1124
00:36:43,043 –> 00:36:45,443
It’s it’s despicable almost.
1125
00:36:45,483 –> 00:36:45,883
I’m sorry,
1126
00:36:45,883 –> 00:36:46,443
that’s not you,
1127
00:36:46,483 –> 00:36:47,123
Alan, that’s me.
1128
00:36:47,123 –> 00:36:47,923
But give me the.
1129
00:36:47,923 –> 00:36:48,203
That’s right.
1130
00:36:48,403 –> 00:36:48,803
That’s you.
1131
00:36:49,283 –> 00:36:49,923
Yeah, that is.
1132
00:36:50,043 –> 00:36:50,963
Give me the grand thought.
1133
00:36:50,963 –> 00:36:53,363
No, the grand thought is this,
1134
00:36:54,803 –> 00:36:55,203
you know.
1135
00:36:56,083 –> 00:36:59,763
Once, once Trump had four criminal cases facing him,
1136
00:37:00,323 –> 00:37:00,643
you know,
1137
00:37:00,643 –> 00:37:02,963
like, like how do you what’s the,
1138
00:37:03,003 –> 00:37:04,043
what’s the move,
1139
00:37:04,283 –> 00:37:05,763
What’s the strategy?
1140
00:37:06,243 –> 00:37:11,603
And and Trump’s strategy was to make a a big bet.
1141
00:37:12,243 –> 00:37:16,883
The wager was he put everything on the possibility
1142
00:37:16,883 –> 00:37:21,483
that the political process could actually outrun and
1143
00:37:21,483 –> 00:37:23,923
defeat the legal process.
1144
00:37:24,323 –> 00:37:25,763
And what I mean by that is.
1145
00:37:26,243 –> 00:37:32,723
He put all of his energy into winning the political
1146
00:37:32,723 –> 00:37:35,843
arguments in order to have the power to basically
1147
00:37:35,843 –> 00:37:38,563
dispose of the legal problem.
1148
00:37:38,643 –> 00:37:39,243
So the big,
1149
00:37:39,363 –> 00:37:41,443
the big summation is it worked.
1150
00:37:42,363 –> 00:37:42,923
It did work.
1151
00:37:42,923 –> 00:37:43,683
It’s amazing.
1152
00:37:43,843 –> 00:37:46,563
I don’t know if that’s good for us.
1153
00:37:46,643 –> 00:37:48,363
I don’t know either country for the rule of law,
1154
00:37:48,963 –> 00:37:50,043
but there’s no question it worked.
1155
00:37:50,723 –> 00:37:52,443
Amazing times we’re living in,
1156
00:37:52,563 –> 00:37:53,683
It’s amazing times,
1157
00:37:54,723 –> 00:37:56,563
And you’re the guy documenting it.
1158
00:37:56,883 –> 00:37:57,963
And it’s, you know,
1159
00:37:57,963 –> 00:37:58,803
I know you got to go,
1160
00:37:58,803 –> 00:37:59,643
so I’m just cutting you off.
1161
00:38:00,003 –> 00:38:01,363
So I’m going to give you the last thought.
1162
00:38:01,363 –> 00:38:04,483
But dude, I love you and I’m proud of you.
1163
00:38:04,803 –> 00:38:09,803
And I mean it when I say sometimes I just get mad and
1164
00:38:09,803 –> 00:38:12,083
I just, I keep the New York Times to light my fire
1165
00:38:12,083 –> 00:38:12,723
in the winter.
1166
00:38:13,283 –> 00:38:15,363
But you’re the you’re the guy.
1167
00:38:15,363 –> 00:38:16,483
You’re the reason I hold on,
1168
00:38:16,803 –> 00:38:17,563
Like, dude,
1169
00:38:18,723 –> 00:38:20,203
You’re one for the generation,
1170
00:38:20,363 –> 00:38:22,163
Yeah, old friends.
1171
00:38:23,923 –> 00:38:24,323
All right.
1172
00:38:24,563 –> 00:38:25,643
How much are potato chips?
1173
00:38:25,643 –> 00:38:27,163
I’m assuming you’re in the staff room.
1174
00:38:27,163 –> 00:38:29,683
I don’t eat potato chips now.
1175
00:38:30,003 –> 00:38:31,363
I used to eat them all the fucking time.
1176
00:38:31,363 –> 00:38:31,643
I used to.
1177
00:38:31,763 –> 00:38:33,443
They gave me the worst seat in the newsroom.
1178
00:38:33,923 –> 00:38:34,363
They were like,
1179
00:38:35,683 –> 00:38:36,483
don’t you remember that?
1180
00:38:36,483 –> 00:38:37,123
I had your seat.
1181
00:38:37,243 –> 00:38:37,923
That’s how we met.
1182
00:38:38,803 –> 00:38:40,643
Yeah, when they were fucking us for,
1183
00:38:40,643 –> 00:38:41,763
like, forever.
1184
00:38:41,923 –> 00:38:42,883
Late night rewrite,
1185
00:38:43,363 –> 00:38:45,083
That’s right.
1186
00:38:45,123 –> 00:38:47,043
We shared that seat.
1187
00:38:47,203 –> 00:38:48,003
We swapped on the show.
1188
00:38:48,683 –> 00:38:49,203
Yes, we did.
1189
00:38:53,843 –> 00:38:54,243
I love you,
1190
00:38:54,963 –> 00:38:56,083
Write me something good today.
1191
00:38:56,123 –> 00:38:56,483
I’m reading.
1192
00:38:56,483 –> 00:38:57,803
All right.
1193
00:38:59,763 –> 00:38:59,963
All right.
1194
00:38:59,963 –> 00:39:00,283
You know what,
1195
00:39:01,203 –> 00:39:01,843
That was great.
1196
00:39:01,843 –> 00:39:03,363
Nobody wants to hear any more about the election.
1197
00:39:03,363 –> 00:39:04,643
See you next week.
