00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:22,239

favorite Conservative we'll be skyping in. But

11
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:30,719
also we have someone in studio with
us. If you're gonna play in Texas,

12
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,920
you gotta have a fiddle in the
band. Then League guitar is hot

13
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:44,000
but not far Lousiana Man Soul rolls
both Baby in Love and then sold names.

14
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:47,959
If you're going and play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in

15
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:55,719
the band. Yeehah, Texas.
Mike is here, Ye welcome, Texas

16
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:59,200
Mike. Thank you. It's a
nice surprise. I heard from you right

17
00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:02,159
before the show that you are around. Yeah. Yeah, I just finished

18
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:07,319
given bite at the Gayoshing Memorial blood
Drive, and I had time to kill

19
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:13,039
in between events. So I'm like, I'm gonna see if I can go

20
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,520
on EVA John Hop shows. So
oh, I'm like, I know you

21
00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:21,960
andenter quickly. So yes, yes, well I'm glad you chose me.

22
00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:24,520
Thank you, Texas Mike. I
didn't realize the blood drive was going on

23
00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:29,680
this week. Yeah, yeah,
yeah today, and oh jeez, I

24
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:35,000
didn't even realize. I feel badly
I've been I've been so busy, and

25
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,080
I think Peter hasn't mentioned at all. Oh really, I think he hasn't.

26
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,879
Oh that's unusual. Yes, he
usually he does promote it. But

27
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:46,520
yeah, that that might be why
I didn't know. Well, I well

28
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,240
that's uh so that's uh today and
tomorrow. Yeah, and where is that

29
00:02:50,719 --> 00:02:53,800
down at the center newhamp DoubleTree Hotel? Excellent? Excellent, So we encourage

30
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,280
people to head down there and donate
blood. Absolutely, and they they feed

31
00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:01,039
you, right, don't They give
you a donut or something afterward to kind

32
00:03:01,039 --> 00:03:05,479
of get some calories in you.
Yeah, so I was able to have

33
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:12,439
a West movie from the movie movie
buff and they had pizza and a couple

34
00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:16,000
of me a good goodie bag of
this pile. Oh, very good,

35
00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:20,400
very good. Yes, excellent.
Well that's a that's a great cause and

36
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,680
good on you for doing that.
Yeah, So Texas Mike is here,

37
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,520
and of course Eric Pilcher, because
it is Wednesday, he's going to be

38
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,759
skyping in and uh, I don't
know what we'll talk about. The news

39
00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:35,919
has been so so slow lately.
Actually there's breaking news. Jenny just sent

40
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:42,400
me. Giuliani just turned himself in
in Georgia, America's mayor. But uh,

41
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,360
yeah, so there's there's plenty to
discuss. And Eric will be on

42
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:47,479
with us via Skype, which means
the studio line will be open. Uh

43
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,039
six ozho three two five zero six
zoh seven six zho three two five zero

44
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,759
six zero seven. You can also
text me at six one seven nine one

45
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:00,280
seven four four seven six. I'm
on social media at Matt Connor. You

46
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,639
can email me Matt at Matt Connerton
dot com. And of course you can

47
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:06,520
interact endo Pine in the Facebook live
chat. But the best thing to do

48
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,199
so that we can hear and enjoy
your dulcet tones is give us a call

49
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:15,080
at six zo three two five zero
six zero seven. But yes, Eric

50
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,639
will be joining us, and then
later in the show in the second hour.

51
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,600
I do have some I've been thinking
about it a lot, and I

52
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:24,399
even went back and I really listened
to it. Just some reflections on yesterday's

53
00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:28,800
show. We had Mary Ann Williamson
in studio with us for the first hour

54
00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:31,920
or most of the first hour,
and a pretty interesting discussion. The feedback

55
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,240
I've gotten from it has been very
positive, so but I do have some

56
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,720
thoughts on that, and you know, and I'm sure we'll have her back

57
00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:43,120
in the future, of course.
But our friend Ron is on the line.

58
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,720
Hi, Ron, Hi, Thank
Matt. How are you doing good?

59
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:51,040
How are you? No comment?
Oh? No, no comment?

60
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,560
Yeah, listen, I'm I'm tuned
in. I gotta go on a little

61
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,639
errand somewhere and I'm going to be
in it out. But I mean,

62
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:01,399
I am I tuned in. I
can't wait to see what kind of no

63
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,720
thoughts comments gloss up all of that, because well, boy, between Trump

64
00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:11,759
and Biden stuff that's been coming out
of their mouse. Holy cow. Yes,

65
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,600
yes, I would say two cows, one for each. Yeah.

66
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:19,360
Well, even if you don't get
to it today, I hope it's on

67
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:24,120
your to do list. Oh yeah, probably be more to talk about tomorrow.

68
00:05:24,439 --> 00:05:26,879
Give it twenty four hours, it'll
probably be more to say tomorrow.

69
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,000
Well, it's a nice thing about
doing a show like this is I am

70
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:36,160
never at a loss for subjects to
discuss, that's for sure. All right,

71
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:40,519

get too yet. J Fett is
in there, of course, from the

88
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:54,480
Great state of Vermont, says good

89
00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:59,199
Banish joins us. Mike from Queen
City cabinetr He says hello everyone, Mike,

90
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,000
of course one of our not only
one of our great sponsors here a

91
00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:05,839
Queen City Cabinetry at WMNH, but
Mike is also one of our co hosts

92
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:11,040
Friday nights for Retro Spectrum Radio with
Paul ec I get to hang out with

93
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,920
him on Friday's. Melanie Liberty joins
us and says, hey, guys.

94
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:21,160
Also Crystal from the Great State of
Illinois, let's see Eric Pilcher, I

95
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:29,480
see that you're in the chat room
as well. Let's see, uh,

96
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,279
Crystal said, Trump supposedly is turning
himself in tomorrow in Georgia. Yes,

97
00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:40,240
apparently, Today's Giuliani's day and tomorrow
will be Trump's day. Very exciting,

98
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:48,360
very exciting and darkness, My old
friend, are you Are you excited for

99
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:58,279
the debate tonight? Eric, you
know, like blow on. I think

100
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:03,279
it's so funny that its like again, we just every week we we talk

101
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:09,839
about this, and it's like we're
beating old Yeller in the head with a

102
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,600
stick. But Eric, I don't
believe you. I don't believe you beat

103
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:20,439
old Yeller with a stick. I
believe you shoot him. Correct, well,

104
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,040
after you shot him, it's like
you're beating the dead corpse with a

105
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:26,439
stick. Oh, I see,
it's like beating a It's like beating a

106
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,439
dead horse, but in this case
it's a dog. Because it's old Yeller.

107
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,320
You're mixing metaphors. I understand.
I get confused. Well, I

108
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:37,440
I want to try to make things
to my own. Yes, well that's

109
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,919
wise, especially for you know,
intellectual property. Oh hello to Greg.

110
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,320
Joseph by the way, from Clemento
is another one of our great sponsors here

111
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,360
at WMNH. Yeah, everything could
change tonight, though, Eric, with

112
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,360
the debate, I mean, you
know that it's been taking part in it.

113
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,919
I know he's counterprogramming with Tucker Carlson, although seeing Trump could still show

114
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,559
up at the debate though in theory
because the interview with Tucker Carlson was pre

115
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,039
recorded and it's going to air as
counter programming. But I still think it

116
00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:15,720
would be cool if Trump fools everybody
and he shot what's that? It'd be

117
00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:22,000
like Rick Rude the night he joined
the nWo and he was on WWF programming.

118
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:24,919
Yes, exactly, Oh, well
done, sir, well done.

119
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:30,399
Only only wrestling fans with a deep
knowledge of the history of the Monday Night

120
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:31,840
War will know the reference. But
but if you know, you know,

121
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:33,879
and if you got it, that
was that was well done, Eric,

122
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,919
Actually that was very clever. Yes, I think it would be great.

123
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,200
Actually if Trump, and you know, I'm not a fan of him,

124
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:45,279
but if he does do a run
in during the debate and hit someone with

125
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,200
a steel chair, I might be
persuaded to vote for him. I mean,

126
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,159
but he Here's the thing is like
his followers are like, yeah,

127
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,960
he knows he's gonna win, so
he doesn't even need to show up,

128
00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:05,639
and it's like, no, he
knows if he shows up, he is

129
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:15,159
going to get a third By the
Scientists by Nikki Hayley by I mean even

130
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,759
by Christy because they're going to and
he doesn't want to answer questions about these

131
00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:24,279
indictments. Well, I think he's
I think both things are true. I

132
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,080
do think that. Yeah, I
think it's probably dangerous for him to show

133
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:31,240
up. But I also think it's
true that there's there is no reason for

134
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,480
him too. I mean, if
I were advising him, I would tell

135
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:35,480
him not to show up. That
would be my advice. I mean,

136
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:39,480
what four he's going to be the
nominee. It doesn't have I would have

137
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,320
more respect for the guy, and
I think a lot of Americans would if

138
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:48,960
he showed up. Oh sure,
yeah, but but but it's not going

139
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,559
to matter to the thirty five to
forty percent that are going to support him

140
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,759
no matter what. It doesn't matter
to them. It's like, this is

141
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,399
the equivalent of when you're playing mad
non law against someone. They're up ten

142
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:07,080
points and they're just running the ball
with like seven minutes left. They're trying

143
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:13,759
to drain the clock and minimize what
you can do. And to me,

144
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:22,120
that's not what the political process is
in this country. It isn't about saving

145
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:30,200
face, It isn't about cowardly tucking
your tail and running it's about standing in

146
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,639
the face of adversity. You know
something, I don't like the guy.

147
00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:41,840
I don't even like the family.
But Bill Clinton when he had his issues

148
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:48,159
with Monica Lewinsky, he never missed
a debate, never back down. He

149
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:56,600
stood steadfast and said, yeah,
I'm gonna face it. Donald Trump has

150
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,519
to be the first ever former president
been. Richard Nixon, who was the

151
00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:09,559
scummiest of scumbag presidents, did the
interview with David Frost and took it on

152
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,799
the chin. Didn't take it well
on the chin, but he took it

153
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,879
on the chin nonetheless. Well,
but that was after his presidency too.

154
00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:20,679
I mean it didn't it didn't really
matter at that point, but well it

155
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,480
did matter in the court of public
opinion. Yeah. The thing is,

156
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:31,200
uh, in view, I didn't
know a lot about the Frost Nixon interviews

157
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,399
until I saw the movie Oh in
two thousand and eight. Isn't that a

158
00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:41,720
great film? It is amazing and
from what I understand from the people that

159
00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:46,399
lived it, uh, pretty spot
on. Have you watched Have you watched

160
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:52,799
the actual interview? Actually in one
of my media classes. Yeah, yeah,

161
00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:56,480
my father and I have had conversations
about that. My father told me

162
00:12:56,519 --> 00:13:01,080
that he's been saying this for years. He thinks Nixon was clinically insane by

163
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:07,440
that point. I mean it was
it wasn't a good move for him.

164
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,440
I mean, there was no way
you were going to win unless it was

165
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,600
a complete fluff piece. But at
the end of the day, he still

166
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:20,639
did it. And that's my thing. That's another strike on Donald Trump for

167
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,000
me. Look, if you didn't
do anything wrong, like you're saying,

168
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:31,960
go to the debate, go debate. I feel like I'm Bernie Mack and

169
00:13:33,039 --> 00:13:37,799
Chris Rock and the movie had a
state here trying to go Donald Trump to

170
00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:45,639
debate these candidates. Yeah, I
don't think he's well, we know he's

171
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,480
not showing up tonight. I mean
again, he could physically show up,

172
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,720
but he's not going to. Clearly, Crystal said in the chat room she

173
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:58,039
thinks Trump is turning himself in tomorrow
to steal away the press from the GOP

174
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:03,600
debate talks since he refuses to attend
the debates himself. That's true, Trump

175
00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:09,200
will suck up tomorrow's news cycle as
well. But no, I just you

176
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,919
know, I mean, you know
how I feel about Trump. I don't

177
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,639
I don't like him either, But
I just don't see any I don't see

178
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,320
anything to be gained politically from him
showing up, and I don't blame him,

179
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,480
and I would say the same,
you know. I don't know if

180
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,360
you had a chance to check it
out, Eric, But yesterday we had

181
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,600
Mary Ann Williamson on the show,
who of course is challenging Joe Biden for

182
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:31,679
the Democratic nomination, as is RFK, you know, and Biden's not going

183
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,639
to debate them, and I don't
I don't blame him either. I mean,

184
00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:37,440
you know what for or you're the
incumbent president. Don't get me wrong,

185
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,720
I agree with you in principle.
In principle, I absolutely agree with

186
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:45,679
you. I'm just saying. I'm
just saying, as a dispassionate political analysis,

187
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:46,639
I just don't see any reason for
it, you know what I mean.

188
00:14:48,039 --> 00:14:50,600
I'm I and I know exactly what
you're saying, and it makes perfect

189
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:56,519
sense. Now on the incumbent side, I'm gonna say there's political decorum that

190
00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:01,320
goes with it too, that you
know, he's the inc And I give

191
00:15:01,039 --> 00:15:09,720
credit to Mary Ann Williamson and disgustingly
a minimal amount of credit to our FK

192
00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:16,960
yeah for for standing up and saying
no, we're gonna throw our hat into

193
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:22,480
this. Kudos to both of them, sure, because I don't think Biden

194
00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:28,879
or Harris is the answer. I
think both of them are tone deaf in

195
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:35,159
regards to the country. I mean, I read a headline and I didn't

196
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:39,840
have a chance to click on it
because this this has been a busy day

197
00:15:39,879 --> 00:15:46,159
off for me. But I did
see that it's being floated that Joe Biden

198
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:52,919
fell asleep during a speech for the
Maui wildfire victims. Oh dear God,

199
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,200
Yeah, this is this. This
trip has been a disaster. I don't

200
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,879
know if you heard the top of
the show, but I played I played

201
00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:07,320
a clip of Biden speaking and I
played the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme music under

202
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,360
it, because Biden was talking about
how he could kind of he was trying

203
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,159
to relate, and he was talking
about how once, uh, you know,

204
00:16:15,159 --> 00:16:18,639
he's speaking to these these people who've
lost their homes in this terrible fire,

205
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,480
and he's talking about how there was
once a fire at one of his

206
00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:26,440
homes and he almost lost his corvette, and you know, and it comes

207
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:33,159
off really really badly. It's so
it's so bad, and then uh,

208
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:38,120
and then you know, but and
it's not. You know, some people

209
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,159
look at that and they'll say,
oh, he's you know what, a

210
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,759
jerk or whatever. I just look
at that, and I say, he's

211
00:16:44,799 --> 00:16:48,159
an eighty year old man and it's
clearly time to take Grandpa's keys away from

212
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,799
him. That's and which is which
some people aren't gonna like me saying that.

213
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,600
I understand that, and I know
I sound agious, but that's just

214
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,440
the reality of it. And then
that's compounded by yeah, this video of

215
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:06,440
him, he looks like he's very
much falling asleep, and I'm sure he's

216
00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:10,799
tired, and it's exhausting. You
know. Look, the dude's got a

217
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:12,519
big job. I get it,
you know, leader of the free world.

218
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,039
But but it's another example of and
by the way, even if he's

219
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:19,000
not asleep, even if he was, because if he's asked, I don't

220
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,519
know if he's taken any questions on
this, I'm sure if he's asked,

221
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,680
he'll say that he was just deep
in prayer or something like that. But

222
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:32,279
but even if that's true, that's
still a problem because even he was he

223
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,599
was asleep, I'm sure of it. But even if he was, just

224
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,079
even if he just had his head
bowed in prayer. Even that's a problem

225
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,920
because he should have the self awareness
to know what that's going to look like,

226
00:17:42,039 --> 00:17:45,079
and that people are going to assume
he was asleep, which I'm sure

227
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:52,039
he was asleep. So it's just
it's it's uh ah. I can't I

228
00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:57,519
can't believe we're in this position.
I can't believe we're on course to get

229
00:17:57,559 --> 00:18:00,480
a Trump Biden re match. I
know I say this all the time,

230
00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:06,079
people are probably saying it, but
oh my god, how is this happening?

231
00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:11,880
How is this happening? I mean, I my head's gonna explode.

232
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:17,799
I mean, look, you just
sit back and enjoy the ride. Matt

233
00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:19,799
Well, I mean, it's it's
great for the show, it is.

234
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,559
I've I understand that. I got
it. You know, it's great for

235
00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:29,200
the show, but it's so horrible
for the country. I mean, Matt,

236
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:33,839
you know what this is gonna do? Right? What ratings? True?

237
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:41,559
Doue that's right, that's right.
Yeah, Well, you know,

238
00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:44,200
I think I think sweeps Weeak is
coming. I need to check on that,

239
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,359
Mike, Mikey, do you know
is sweeps Weeak coming up? We

240
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,960
gotta get those ratings. I was
just kidding, don't bother to Mikey.

241
00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:56,200
What what are you wanting to you
to help with the ratings? Our ratings

242
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,799
are awful, Mikey. Yeah,
we need we need to get I'm concerned

243
00:18:59,799 --> 00:19:04,079
that week Are is currently beating us
in this market. I'm also very,

244
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,519
very concerned that there's going to be
this new big show, the second coming

245
00:19:08,559 --> 00:19:14,000
of Howard, that's been coming for
over six years out of New York.

246
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:17,400
I think that I think it's been
more like a decade that that's been in

247
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,759
the works. But it's coming,
and we're all going to be out of

248
00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:25,920
jobs, Mikey, all out of
jobs. We will have no place to

249
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,920
have our talent on WMNH once this
happens. I think what Eric is saying,

250
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,759
Mikey is we need you to save
us. You have a solution for

251
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:37,680
us. I'm trying to thank you, all right, Maybe maybe check with

252
00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:44,559
a chat GPT or something. I
mean, I know a guy who says

253
00:19:44,599 --> 00:19:51,640
he can help the ratings if you
need his information, right, maybe he'll

254
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:57,359
call today. By the way,
Christ what's that. Let let's let's not

255
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,559
well. You just never know if
you if you vaguely refer to him three

256
00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:10,559
times, you run the risk of
conjuring, of conjuring him. He is

257
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:18,559
about as tolerable as the film you're
referring to, the film Beetle Juice.

258
00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:21,599
Oh yes, yes, yeah,
yeah. I was never a big Beetle

259
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:26,200
Juice fan either, but I love
the idea of it. Yeah. Tim

260
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,279
Burton did the best he could.
But I've told John Hopwood this, I'm

261
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:33,359
pretty sure. And he is accused
of me of betraying him yet again.

262
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:41,519
Yes, no, this time it
was a private text message to me.

263
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:48,960
Oh my goodness, betraying him.
Wow, But but I digress. I

264
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:55,319
just I am not a Winona writer
fan. What is oh sorry, what

265
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,839
are you bothered by the shoplifting?
Or what is it before the shoplifting?

266
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:06,640
Her face just annoys me. I
understand you don't like her face? Yeah,

267
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,519
like it's that level of vitriol.
Wow, yeah, I don't like

268
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,599
her face. Okay, if you
don't want to turn me off to a

269
00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:21,720
movie, you want me to never
see this movie have these words attached to

270
00:21:21,759 --> 00:21:29,160
it, directed by Michael Bay starring
Winona Ryder, I will never see it.

271
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:34,680
Wow? All right, well,
fair enough now, Crystal said in

272
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,599
the chat room. The Hawaiians are
pissed a Biden for his no comments statement

273
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:44,039
while on vacation himself. Bad,
bad look for Biden. Totally crappy of

274
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:48,039
him. I'm gonna I'm actually gonna
Crystal, I'm actually gonna defend Biden on

275
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,200
that one because I've seen the video
of that. I don't think he heard

276
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,440
the question. I think all and
again, you know, you're talking about

277
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,279
an eighty year old man with you
know, unless he's wearing hearing aids,

278
00:21:57,279 --> 00:22:00,839
he's got the hearing of an eighty
year old man. So if somebody's shouting

279
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,839
a question at him from a distance, he probably didn't even hear the question.

280
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,960
He probably just knew that somebody from
the media was shouting a question at

281
00:22:08,039 --> 00:22:11,160
him, and that's why he said
no comments. So I give him a

282
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,519
pass on that one. I've seen. Have you seen the video of that,

283
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,599
Eric, because that did upset some
people. But I'm gonna get Biden

284
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:23,680
a pass on that one. I'm
I'm gonna give him. Uh yeah,

285
00:22:23,759 --> 00:22:27,480
I don't think. I don't think
he heard the question. Look, in

286
00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:33,039
a situation like that one, as
the president of the free world, you

287
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:38,240
have to know some craps going down
here. Okay, Yeah, if I'm

288
00:22:38,279 --> 00:22:41,759
being asked anything, and I don't
hear, and I'm saying, come again,

289
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,440
can you please repeat that? Yeah, I don't care. If I'm

290
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:51,359
sitting at a restaurant, May said, do you do you want? Would

291
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:57,200
you like ice with your drink?
And if I don't, you know,

292
00:22:59,279 --> 00:23:03,440
if I don't understand, and I'm
jump Biden, I'd be like, say

293
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,200
that again, even if I'm ninety
percent sure I know what they said.

294
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:14,839
Yeah, I'm getting that clarity because
anything you say dismissive is gonna come off

295
00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:18,200
as insensitive and that you're out of
touch. True, true, No,

296
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,880
I take your point. And Jenny
said in the chat room, why the

297
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,400
hell did he stay on vacation?
No, pass, Well, the president's

298
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,240
never really on vacation though, I
mean he you know, he's on vacation,

299
00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:33,839
but he's always still the president to
me, I mean, in my

300
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:41,880
lifetime, I swear, and I'm
forty, the president's vacation days have went

301
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:47,559
up with every new president. There
are some who claim that, uh,

302
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,559
yeah, I don't know. I
don't, but you know, I mean,

303
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,960
you know, leader of the free
world, you're you're allowed some downtime.

304
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,000
I mean, especially the golfing,
like that's something you know, it's

305
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,519
funny. As much as I don't
like Trump, that's something he took a

306
00:24:00,519 --> 00:24:04,400
lot of criticism for that. I
never criticized him for People used to knock

307
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,160
him for being on the golf course
all the time. I always said,

308
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,039
Hey, that's the guy's only form
of exercise. That's I mean that,

309
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,480
And it literally is like he basically
he has said he's not really into exercise,

310
00:24:15,799 --> 00:24:19,559
but I do want the leader of
the free world to get some exercise,

311
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,160
so im You know, I never
cared with each other here, Matt

312
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:30,000
and Texas Mike. Please feel free
to chime in there. People if they

313
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:36,880
hate a president, that president could
cure cancer, and they're gonna say he

314
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,359
didn't do it quick enough. Too
many rats died in the testing, right,

315
00:24:41,759 --> 00:24:45,599
they're gonna find something. Yeah,
so let's let's be honest there.

316
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:52,720
Oh yeah, there's always criticism about
anything you talked about. Everything's trying to

317
00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:56,720
have a positive and a negative.
Yes, that's right, Texas Mike,

318
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:03,799
Texas Mike. I think we would
make Texas Micr President, or at least

319
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:07,759
I would vote, or at least
the president of Texas because he's already in

320
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:11,759
his name, So how hard could
that be? I did take my dog

321
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:18,680
Rocky to a rally at the dog
park this past weekend. Rally at the

322
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,720
dog park. Well, yeah,
because, like I said on one of

323
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,039
my Wednesday chats, that my dog
would be a better candidate. Oh,

324
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:33,480
I took him out to meet his
constituents. And I'm gonna try to keep

325
00:25:33,559 --> 00:25:37,680
this PG. How he met his
constituents. He would have thought he was

326
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:44,960
a Kennedy. I yeah, it
didn't go well. I think I think

327
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:55,279
Rocky needs to withdraw his name from
consideration, right, yeah, well that's

328
00:25:53,799 --> 00:25:59,240
uh, that's all right. Uh, look looking at a scandal here,

329
00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:04,599
yes, unfold. And he doesn't
need this. He's a seven year old

330
00:26:04,599 --> 00:26:11,880
pit bowl. He needs life of
leisure and weekly hamburgers from our local meat

331
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:19,079
market. Well, maybe he needs
to start golfing. Brocky likes eating grass,

332
00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:22,559
so I don't know if him on
a golf course would be a good

333
00:26:22,599 --> 00:26:30,400
idea. No, I see that
that could be a problematic. Barely he

334
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,559
barely gets a lap in on the
bike trail by my apartment, so he

335
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:40,839
could not do eighteen I see,
Melanie says in the chat room, I

336
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,960
referring to trump my beef around the
golfing is the cost to the American people,

337
00:26:45,519 --> 00:26:48,480
while he said he wasn't taking a
paycheck. Yeah, I guess I

338
00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:52,599
don't know. That's never been I
never worried about that much with him,

339
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,799
no matter why. Yeah, I
mean, I mean I get her point,

340
00:26:59,519 --> 00:27:04,559
and it's a fair point. But
to be fair again, he didn't

341
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:11,880
take a paycheck. He did donate
it to causes. I mean, granted

342
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:17,319
he did get money from secret service
staying at his hotels. And yes,

343
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:26,079
that's a bit bit slippery, yes, now that you mention it. Yeah,

344
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,000
I'm not taking a paycheck. But
uh, these guys are staying at

345
00:27:30,039 --> 00:27:36,079
Mara Lago and it's a Trump hotel. But but my son in law owns

346
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:41,400
it. Yeah, there is that. There is that. It's like,

347
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:47,400
okay, listen to steal a line
from Judge Judy, don't pee on my

348
00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:52,640
leg and tell me it's raining,
Like, come on, put him up

349
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:57,400
in a Best Western. That's not
so bad. Actually, uh six O

350
00:27:57,599 --> 00:28:00,240
three two five o six. When
the studio line is open, if you'd

351
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:03,799
like to join the discussion, if
you are just joining us. Of course,

352
00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:07,319
it is Wednesdays, so we're talking
with my it is a Wednesday,

353
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,000
rather, it is Wednesdays. It
is a Wednesday, or it is Wednesday.

354
00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:15,680
We're so we're talking with my favorite
conservative, Eric Pilcher joining us via

355
00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:18,920
Skype, and of course Texas Mike
is here at the news desk. And

356
00:28:19,799 --> 00:28:23,559
oh you started, we got derailed. I want to hear more about So

357
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:29,920
John Hopwood texted you and said you've
betrayed him. So it was over this

358
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,960
week's film and John has been trying
to expose me to it's called redneck cinema

359
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:41,119
movies that were made in the South, and Burt Reynolds was the was the

360
00:28:42,039 --> 00:28:49,039
catalyst for this because a lot of
his action Flix were these redneck classics Smokey

361
00:28:49,119 --> 00:28:56,839
and the Bandit, thunder Row,
Gator, and so forth. And I

362
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:02,920
think he's upset, because actually I
know he's upset, and this wasn't done

363
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,920
to slight the great John Hopwood.
I have a great deal of admiration,

364
00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:15,119
love and respect for John C.
Hopwood that I'm doing the longest yard this

365
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,799
week. Oh yes, classic film
review and it's an honor of college football

366
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:25,079
starting. And I think he was
I think his issue is is that it's

367
00:29:25,119 --> 00:29:33,160
a Burt Reynolds film and not a
redneck classic except for when except for when

368
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:38,799
he crashes the girl's Maserati into a
lake and leads the cops on a chase.

369
00:29:41,119 --> 00:29:47,039
Yeah. So, yes, I
have been accused of betraying John Hopwood

370
00:29:47,079 --> 00:29:51,119
again. But I will say this, this is my volley. In order

371
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:57,839
for betrayal to be betrayal, a
person has to knowingly be trying to betray

372
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:03,559
them. Uh. Yes, and
I was not. That was not your

373
00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:10,839
intention, Smokey in the Bandit will
be reviewed in November. I didn't even

374
00:30:10,839 --> 00:30:12,839
know. I'd never heard that term
before. What is it redneck cinema?

375
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:19,160
Is that what? Yeah, because
Convoy is a part of it. Convoy.

376
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,440
That's that's come up on Paul Show
on Retrospectum Radio. I didn't even

377
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,640
I didn't even know. Because,
believe it or not, I cannot explain

378
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,519
why this is. I'm sure my
dad remembers this because he listens to the

379
00:30:30,519 --> 00:30:34,240
show. I actually loved that song
when I was a kid. Why I

380
00:30:34,279 --> 00:30:37,119
loved it? What I loved about
it? I could not begin to tell

381
00:30:37,119 --> 00:30:41,839
you. I have no idea.
I didn't know what's criminal about the movie

382
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,680
Convoy. I see, I've never
seen the movie. What what's criminal about

383
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:52,519
it? Is? It's Sam Peckinpaw's
highest grossing film is it? Yep,

384
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:57,519
that's It's the film of his that
made the most money. And John Hopwood

385
00:30:57,519 --> 00:31:03,519
and I have had private discussion about
this. It is also his worst film,

386
00:31:03,559 --> 00:31:07,880
even the films where he was just
coked out of his mind charged at

387
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:17,880
Charlton Heston on a horse with a
sword. No, those movies fail in

388
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,160
comparison to Convoy. See. I
didn't even know. For some reason,

389
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,799
I loved the song, but until
probably a couple of years ago, the

390
00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:30,839
first time it came up on Paul's
show, I didn't realize there had even

391
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,039
been a movie, Nor did I
know that there was a part two to

392
00:31:33,119 --> 00:31:37,720
the song. I didn't know there
was a part two to the song.

393
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,440
Yeah there is. Yeah, there's
a sequel to the song. And it's

394
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,279
just like it just continues the story. Not that it's much of a story

395
00:31:45,319 --> 00:31:49,880
to begin with, but but yeah, Matt, maybe we need someone who's

396
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:55,720
a CB radio expert to decipher part
one and two for us. I know

397
00:31:55,839 --> 00:32:00,240
a guy. I know a guy
from New York who apparently has actually put

398
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,960
people on ten seven. I was
just gonna say, you don't want to

399
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,200
be ten seven. Don't want to
be put on ten seven? I mean

400
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,559
he and this guy's a legend for
doing that. He's in the like the

401
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,119
CBE Hall of Fame or something.
It's incredible he has he has a video

402
00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:20,000
on YouTube where he shows you all
of his CB equipment. Yeah, it

403
00:32:20,079 --> 00:32:22,240
looks like a flea market threw up
in there. It does. Yes,

404
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:28,640
what uh? What dumb plug the
world would the CB Radio Hall of Fame

405
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:35,279
be in? I don't know.
I think it's gotta be like in like

406
00:32:35,839 --> 00:32:40,359
Brandon, Iowa, or home of
the world's largest drying pan by the way,

407
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:49,680
somewhere that's like just total dumped uh
huh. And it's this ramshackle meth

408
00:32:49,799 --> 00:32:58,000
lab house that just has a old
oaken wooden sign that says CBE Hall of

409
00:32:58,039 --> 00:33:07,359
Fame and haul in Fame are both
misspelled, right, Crystal says in the

410
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,039
chat room Smoking in the Bandit was
a good movie. Oh, I agree,

411
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:15,160
I like Smoking and the Bandit.
The thing with movies that have just

412
00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:22,640
tons of car chase is there isn't
a lot to talk on, right because

413
00:33:22,519 --> 00:33:29,720
you can explain it, but until
people see it, they don't understand how

414
00:33:29,799 --> 00:33:32,240
awesome it is. It would be
like explaining the car chase scene in the

415
00:33:32,279 --> 00:33:37,720
movie Bullet, Yeah, which I've
actually seen. I've never seen the movie

416
00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:42,559
Bullet, but I've seen that scene
just because I think I found it on

417
00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:46,960
YouTube actually after hearing you talk about
it once. It's an amazing scene,

418
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:54,920
and I got introduced to it by
weird means. I'm a big Metallica fan

419
00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:00,519
people on the show listeners of the
show Now This and Matt you know this?

420
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:05,839
They're my favorite band of all time. Yes, And the video for

421
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:13,199
I Disappear has James Hetfield driving a
car that is the actual model used in

422
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,000
the movie Bullet, and they mimic
the car chase scene. Oh no kidding,

423
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:22,920
It was Jakes Stead that's driving car. Oh no kidding. Yeah,

424
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,320
and that's where they got it from
and they stole it shot by shot.

425
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:30,679
So that's how I got it that
car chase. I didn't realize that.

426
00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:32,480
See, I've never seen the video
for I Disappear. I'll have to look

427
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:37,519
at that up. I'm really curious
now it's one of them. It's a

428
00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:42,599
great video. I mean, Lars
is running through an exploding room glass.

429
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,840
Oh wait a minute, No,
no, no, I take it back.

430
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,840
I have seen that. Yeah,
I have seen that video. I

431
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:53,039
didn't Okay, I guess. Okay. So so the Headfield part, that's

432
00:34:53,079 --> 00:34:57,079
just one part of the video.
But there's other things going on with Lars.

433
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,920
Okay, I got you, I
got you, Okay, I have

434
00:35:00,039 --> 00:35:04,360
I have seen the video like Dangerous
Missions because it was a song for Mission

435
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,679
Impossible too, right, Okay,
I remember now, Yes, they went

436
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:15,039
after Napster because Hollywood Records was coming
down on them. How did this song

437
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:21,400
get released? This is the lead
single off a blockbuster summer movie soundtrack.

438
00:35:21,639 --> 00:35:29,519
How does this happen? Yeah?
And like, well, they're like basically

439
00:35:29,559 --> 00:35:35,679
they were like our bad was really
the response they gave, and somehow when

440
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:42,039
it's millions upon millions of dollars,
my bad doesn't cut it. Yeah,

441
00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:45,800
and then they're like, well,
you guys need to do something about this.

442
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:53,280
Oh well, James is in Russia, our bass player is about to

443
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:59,039
leave the band. We're on a
we're taking a break from our tour.

444
00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:09,360
Lar's gone out there and handle business. Yeah. I remember that, like

445
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:19,639
the absolute worse person you could have
probably speak for the band, and that's

446
00:36:19,679 --> 00:36:23,119
the option. Well, I would
argue Lars is no, Oh, I

447
00:36:23,119 --> 00:36:25,480
don't know. I would argue that
of the four of them, Lars is

448
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:34,199
probably the most articulate. So actually
I would disagree with you. Really shockingly

449
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:42,719
enough, Kirk Hammett is really really
articulate, very well spoken. Just he

450
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,760
doesn't talk right, right, I
was gonna say, I feel like I

451
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,840
never, like on the rare occasion
that I've heard Kirk Hammett speak, it's

452
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,519
like, oh, Kirk is talking. I think I've just yeah, I

453
00:36:51,519 --> 00:36:54,679
think over the years, I've just
heard a lot more Lars Ulric just because

454
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:59,719
he's he's loquacious. He talks a
lot, you know. I've heard him

455
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,920
interview on Howard Stern a couple of
times without the rest of the band.

456
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:08,360
They all, I mean, they
all are. They kind of defy the

457
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:15,599
dumb metal band player stereotype. If
you listen to them all talk, they

458
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:22,239
all are pretty pretty smart and well
spoken. I mean, to write the

459
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:29,079
lyrics they've written, they would have
to be to a degree. Yeah,

460
00:37:29,079 --> 00:37:32,000
So that's my defense of them.
I forgot how much I like this song.

461
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,320
I haven't heard it and so long. I don't know if you can

462
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,760
hear it on Skype, but I
can. The whole soundtrack for Mission Impossible

463
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:44,119
too is amazing. I don't remember
what else is on it. It's been

464
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:51,119
so long. Some of girth Limp
Biscuit has a song on it where they

465
00:37:51,159 --> 00:37:53,519
sample the mission Impossible themes. Oh
yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,

466
00:37:53,559 --> 00:37:59,360
I totally remember that now that did
Yeah, I do remember that now yeah.

467
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:04,400
Yeah. Just a great soundtrack.
I think Prodigy is on there.

468
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:13,400
Uh, Dope is on there.
It was a great soundtrack and one of

469
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:21,039
the most underrated John Move films in
my opinion. I still can't get over

470
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,000
Convoy being Peck and PA's most successful
film. That blows my mind. Don't

471
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,880
don't blood it, flinger with you. You will get very angry because then

472
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,480
you think about the other films he
did, you know, like then you

473
00:38:34,599 --> 00:38:37,280
get madder. Yes, I can
look at my movie Shelf and I own

474
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:43,360
almost every film he is directed on
Blu Ray. Yeah, and I'm like,

475
00:38:43,679 --> 00:38:47,480
really, bring me the Head of
Alfredo Garcia, The Wild Bunch,

476
00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:59,519
Major Dundee, Cross of Iron,
and Convoy. So strange. One of

477
00:38:59,559 --> 00:39:06,400
these things is not like the other. Yeah, great genre films, and

478
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:14,679
Convoy we very very weird. I
have a book filled with interviews with Sam

479
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:21,760
Peck and Paul about all of his
films, and he is like so dismissive

480
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,320
of convoy. It's probably the shortest
segment in the book. Yeah, I

481
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,400
mean I assume that was just They
probably offered him a lot of money.

482
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,440
I mean, why else would have
even directed that? Well one, I

483
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:42,199
mean it's just Bert Young is comedic
relief. Couldn't even save it. I

484
00:39:42,199 --> 00:39:49,599
mean, Chris Stopperson can't act.
Uh, I forget her name. Uh

485
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:58,719
was dating Steve McQueen. Allie Allie
McGraw can't act. So then those are

486
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,960
your two stars. What if Winona
Ryder had been in it? Would that

487
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:07,480
have saved it? Do you think, Matt? Why why do you got

488
00:40:07,599 --> 00:40:10,679
to poke it? Man? I'm
sorry I didn't know until today. You're

489
00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:20,039
man, she's your kryptonite. Yeah, I have one on rants against Winona

490
00:40:20,199 --> 00:40:24,320
Ryder. Dirk don has heard a
few of them. Wow, yeah,

491
00:40:24,599 --> 00:40:30,760
all right, got it eat her? Yeah yeah, well all right,

492
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:36,199
I've actually told him the whole I
hate her face, like, yeah,

493
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:43,519
wow, it's up there, Drew
Barrymore really yeah, don't like her either?

494
00:40:44,599 --> 00:40:47,840
Is it her face? Oh?
The way she does the side talking.

495
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:54,679
H never noticed the side talking,
like talks out of the side of

496
00:40:54,679 --> 00:41:01,239
her mouth. It's like alien like. I never noticed that. Wow.

497
00:41:02,159 --> 00:41:07,760
Watch her in like comedies, especially
like she tries to adjust her face and

498
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:14,079
it's like, just stop, you
look ridiculous. Wow, you would think,

499
00:41:14,119 --> 00:41:15,840
I mean, she's a big Hollywood
star, you could think you would

500
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:21,239
think she'd be able to get some
help with that adjusting her face, like

501
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,719
a scheech, like a speech therapist
to help her adjust her face when she

502
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:30,000
talks. Every role she's in is
she just comes off as fake to me?

503
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:37,920
Yeah, not a fan. Oh
okay, all right, we should

504
00:41:37,199 --> 00:41:43,320
pivot back to Uh, I do
want to ask you because obviously you are

505
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,679
in Iowa. It still surprises me
that the first debate is not in Iowa,

506
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:52,119
that it's in Milwaukee, But any
anything interesting there since we talked last

507
00:41:52,159 --> 00:41:58,239
week in terms of I know,
Chris Christie is surging in the polls here

508
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,760
in New Hampshire. I mean by
surging, I mean he's still a very

509
00:42:00,159 --> 00:42:05,480
distant number two but to Trump.
But he's he's I believe he is uh

510
00:42:06,039 --> 00:42:09,079
past RHN de Santis. But you
know New Hampshire of course, Uh,

511
00:42:09,119 --> 00:42:13,440
you know, it's it's the northeast. It's not not Iowa. So I

512
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:17,880
don't know if things are different there. No, I mean, you know

513
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,559
there have been a couple of people
that have rosen the polls, kind of

514
00:42:22,599 --> 00:42:30,360
like Chris Christy did in New Hampshire
after this state fair of vivic has actually

515
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,800
really come up in the polls here. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

516
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:43,599
yeah, has really come up.
Yeah, I U his nine to eleven

517
00:42:43,639 --> 00:42:51,480
comments were really strange. He says
some weird stuff and he uh, you

518
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,199
know, I know, my my
dad's kind of a fan of him,

519
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:59,679
but he's very uh pro Russia.
It would seem like he wants to let

520
00:43:00,039 --> 00:43:06,960
Shad have crimea if it'll end the
war. Yeah. I've never been a

521
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:15,719
fan of giving a brutal communist dictatorship
countries to end a war because it'll never

522
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:21,400
end. Then you're at their power. It's appeasement. Yeah, you fed

523
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:28,320
their ego. Yeah no, there
let their ego do them in. Yeah,

524
00:43:29,199 --> 00:43:36,000
there is. Yeah, I don't
know, I don't know what It'll

525
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,400
be interesting to see how he does
tonight. Did we talk about or was

526
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:44,440
it after Whens? Was it after
last week? When the Yeah, it

527
00:43:44,519 --> 00:43:49,159
was after last the last time we
talked when the superPAC Rhonda Santis is superPAC

528
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:54,159
never back down. They posted that
memo, Yeah, that that was after

529
00:43:54,480 --> 00:44:04,800
who boy, but Santus is third
there, right, Yeah, yeah,

530
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:10,519
I guess I guess his pork chops
weren't weren't good his pork chops, oh

531
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,320
right, right right, because they
all do the thing with the you know,

532
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,880
he had to serve food and whatnot. He's the only one who did

533
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:22,480
it, yeah, the other ones. I mean it was pretty hot.

534
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:27,440
So I mean I give him credit
for standing at that grill. And I

535
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:32,960
mean vivic. I don't know his
religious affiliation, but might not want to

536
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,400
be around pork. And I'm not
stereotyping. I'm just saying generally, yea,

537
00:44:38,679 --> 00:44:45,519
even if they're not a part of
even if they don't practice Islam,

538
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:51,199
they still are like, no,
don't want to be around it. So

539
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:55,039
yeah, I mean I get that. I mean I always thought when they

540
00:44:55,119 --> 00:45:01,760
did that or served food, I
thought it was just pathetic looking and glad

541
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:07,719
handling. Well yeah, I mean
it certainly comes off as pandering. Yeah,

542
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:13,559
it's it's it just is unauthentic.
Mike Pence didn't do any of that.

543
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:22,079
I mean, I wouldn't take a
pork chap from Mike Pence. I

544
00:45:22,199 --> 00:45:25,840
just looked up so vek Ramaswami.
He says, I'm Hindu, but I

545
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:32,519
share the same values as Christians.
He said this on News Nation. To

546
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:38,760
share the same values as Christians,
then you wouldn't be Hindu. I mean

547
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:47,079
that whole fall sidals thing. I
don't know one of those important commandments.

548
00:45:47,079 --> 00:45:53,599
It says here Republican presidential candidate the
Veke Ramaswamy says he practices Hinduism but shares

549
00:45:53,639 --> 00:45:58,760
the same values as Christians. Quote, I'm Hindu, I'm not Christian,

550
00:45:59,159 --> 00:46:02,679
and we are a nation and founded
on Judeo Christian values. That's not going

551
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:07,519
to fly with evangelicals, right,
absolutely not. Yeah, he's going to

552
00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:14,440
get one vote in the Bible belt, right. Yeah, you're basically saying,

553
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:19,719
I mean, how it's going to
be painted with evangelicals and as it

554
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:24,039
should be, because it's pretty accurate, is you're Judeo Christian because it's going

555
00:46:24,079 --> 00:46:29,559
to get you votes. Yeah.
So that means so Trump can't pick him

556
00:46:29,599 --> 00:46:32,480
to be his VEEP then either.
I don't know why this didn't occur to

557
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:37,039
me until now, because you know, I'm always talking about how obviously there's

558
00:46:37,079 --> 00:46:39,840
other reasons to run for president other
than wanting to be president, because some

559
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:44,039
of these people will actually frankly,
I think all the people who are going

560
00:46:44,079 --> 00:46:46,119
to be on that debate stage just
tonight. Realize none of them are going

561
00:46:46,159 --> 00:46:50,000
to be the nominee, let alone
president. But one of the reasons,

562
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,800
one of the other reasons to run
is you're running for the vice presidency.

563
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:57,480
And I kind of figured Vavak might
be in that lane. You know,

564
00:46:57,519 --> 00:47:00,639
maybe he thinks he has a shot
at being Trump's VEEP. But Trump can't

565
00:47:00,639 --> 00:47:02,440
pick him if he's if he's not
Christian. I mean, that's just that

566
00:47:02,519 --> 00:47:07,519
just won't fly, especially in the
Republican Party, but really in either party.

567
00:47:07,119 --> 00:47:15,400
Right, No, No, So
that's interesting. Now are you so

568
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:16,639
I don't think you ever answered my
question? Or are you going to watch

569
00:47:16,639 --> 00:47:22,639
the debate? I might tune in
for a little bit as much as it

570
00:47:22,039 --> 00:47:29,679
tolerate as I can tolerate. I
generally how I handle early debates is I

571
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:36,800
watch the highlights or low lights as
it yeah, and go from there.

572
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,159
See, I have to, uh, I have to watch the whole thing.

573
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:44,559
To me, Uh, I love
I love debates. I watch all

574
00:47:44,599 --> 00:47:46,800
the debates. I mean when I
say all the debates, I mean all

575
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:51,880
the presidential debates, whether they're primary
or general election. I don't mean I

576
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:53,920
watch like every debate. Ever,
Like I'm not going to watch a debate

577
00:47:53,960 --> 00:48:00,280
among local aldermen here in Manchester,
for example, I'd probably uh, very

578
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:04,800
drowsy quickly. But I'm just saying, but but I do love I will

579
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:09,480
watch every Republican debate in this primary, and I will I will enjoy them

580
00:48:09,519 --> 00:48:15,320
tremendously, no doubt they to me, they make they make for tremendous television.

581
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,679
And of course, uh, you
know in the twenty twenty cycle,

582
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:22,599
you know, I watched all the
Biden versus Bernie debates. I love those,

583
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,920
just fascinating stuff. I'm just fascinated
by it all. I mean,

584
00:48:25,159 --> 00:48:29,159
now Jenny's saying, oh, no, have to hear it all, and

585
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:34,239
I think I might now have to. I mean, you're gonna watch it

586
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,719
all. Jenny's gonna watch it all. I might I might have to DVR

587
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:42,920
it. You know. Working for
a cable company, I get the fancy

588
00:48:43,079 --> 00:48:46,000
stuff for free. Oh that's cool. Yeah. Well the thing is,

589
00:48:46,199 --> 00:48:53,119
I mean what, I'm pretty fascinated
because I'm intrigued because I really don't know

590
00:48:53,199 --> 00:48:57,239
what we're gonna see tonight, you
know, I mean, these debates they

591
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,440
do have an air of predictability to
them, and that you know, you

592
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:04,280
know who the characters are, and
you kind of have have an idea of

593
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,239
what they're gonna do. I honestly
don't know what tonight's gonna be, like,

594
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:12,360
I mean, I do know,
you know, I assume these characters

595
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,199
will play their roles as one would
expect. Chris Christy will be on the

596
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:21,119
attack against Trump and the other candidates
on the stage. Mike Pence will kind

597
00:49:21,119 --> 00:49:23,559
of do his aw shucks, you
know, the former president, and I

598
00:49:23,599 --> 00:49:28,960
disagree, but you know, oh
but I still just love him, you

599
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,440
know, uh, that kind of
thing. You know, everyone will will

600
00:49:31,519 --> 00:49:37,679
will play their roles. But but
how that how that pans out in real

601
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:44,559
time? I don't know. I
to what extent will people play their roles

602
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,079
or will someone surprise us? Will
someone kind of break out? You know,

603
00:49:47,559 --> 00:49:52,559
will Mike Pence break into some sort
of profane tirade against Trump or something?

604
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,719
I mean, I don't think.
I don't think. I don't think

605
00:49:54,760 --> 00:50:00,440
it will happen, but I'd respect
him. I mean, look, I

606
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,920
I got a parlay card in for
the Little League World Series tonight, so

607
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,599
I gotta pay attention to my bets. Yes, yes, yeah, I

608
00:50:08,599 --> 00:50:12,840
don't know if I'll even be able
to watch it live. I might be

609
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:17,079
with clients, but obviously it'll be
on a line afterward. But yeah,

610
00:50:17,119 --> 00:50:22,119
I mean it's uh, I'm I'm
really looking forward to this. I'm really

611
00:50:22,119 --> 00:50:24,920
looking forward to this, even with
Trump not being there. I mean that

612
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,599
would have been fascinating too, but
him not being there, to me,

613
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,079
honestly, it's just as interesting.
You know, do they go after Trump?

614
00:50:31,199 --> 00:50:35,719
Do they do some of them say, you know, do some of

615
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,920
the people who've been kind of deferential
to him, you know, take shots

616
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:44,239
at him for not being there?
You know, do do some of them

617
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:49,360
kind of snap out of this you
know, this zone that they've been in

618
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,320
where you know, they don't want
to say anything too harsh because they don't

619
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,920
want to upset the magabase. But
then they realize that there they are on

620
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:00,960
that stage and Trump doesn't even respect
them enough to show up to debate them.

621
00:51:01,039 --> 00:51:04,119
You know, do they say,
Okay, that's it, We're pulling

622
00:51:04,119 --> 00:51:08,559
out the knives. You know,
that could happen. I hope that is

623
00:51:08,679 --> 00:51:14,960
my hope, that this just becomes
a two hour attack ad on Donald Trump.

624
00:51:15,199 --> 00:51:20,519
Yeah, it could, It could
love it, you know what,

625
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:24,559
I would love it if either RHNDA
scientists or Chris Christie, because if any

626
00:51:24,599 --> 00:51:30,519
of them have a shot, it's
my opinion it's those two. As much

627
00:51:30,559 --> 00:51:37,360
as I think Nicki Haley, if
Trump were smart, he would really start

628
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:43,199
laying off her and be like,
hey, I got this VP spot open

629
00:51:44,119 --> 00:51:54,119
because Dendy caters to the the women
vote true, Ben vote again. There's

630
00:51:54,159 --> 00:51:59,719
also Tim Scott, who I know
that a lot of de Santis is big

631
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:05,199
money donors have defected to Tim Scott's
campaign, so he might uh this,

632
00:52:05,199 --> 00:52:07,199
this could be a good night for
him. I mean, he's been trying

633
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,800
to be, you know, the
more positive. I mean, I disagree

634
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,760
with him on policy on many things, but I do appreciate. I mean,

635
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,280
at least he's he's been positive.
He's not like, you know,

636
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,679
he's not a doomsayer, like,
you know, America has fallen apart and

637
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,639
only I can save it that kind
of thing. He's more more optimistic generally

638
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:31,840
him on a video clip when he
was on the View, and those cackling

639
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:40,960
hens on the View run over anyone
that is not a far left leaning uh

640
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:47,320
Democrat, They just do they talk
over them and then they crow that they

641
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:52,960
won and it's like, no,
you didn't just because you yell louder than

642
00:52:52,039 --> 00:52:55,119
them, and there's more of them
than there's more of you than them.

643
00:52:55,199 --> 00:53:01,599
You did not win. Shot up
all of you. And look, I

644
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:09,800
think individually they some of them,
minus Joy Behar and Whoopie Goldberg have very

645
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:15,000
smart, very great things to say
about fixing this country. But you get

646
00:53:15,079 --> 00:53:22,960
them together and it's like it's awful. But I digress on that. Tim

647
00:53:23,039 --> 00:53:30,880
Scott handled it very well. I
mean, even when Joy Behar thinly veiled

648
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:37,159
attacked him pretty much saying that he
wasn't black because he's a Republican. I

649
00:53:37,199 --> 00:53:42,159
didn't see the full interview, but
I do. I do know he got

650
00:53:42,199 --> 00:53:45,800
some good press from that, though
he acquitted himself well as seems to be

651
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:52,679
the Yeah, And I mean,
and what hurt me the most is Whoopie

652
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:59,679
Goldberg sat there and took it and
it's like, wait a minute. Even

653
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:06,840
Spike Lee came out and said that
was wrong. Yeah, yeah, I

654
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,039
don't know the full context because I
haven't seen the I'll love to go back

655
00:54:09,079 --> 00:54:14,639
and check that out. I'm curious
now. Just it was. It was

656
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:19,920
sickening. It was up there when
Chelsea Handler said she had to remind fifty

657
00:54:20,039 --> 00:54:25,800
cents he was black. It's like, why because he wanted to because he

658
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:32,440
supported Donald Trump. You can't be
black and support the Republican Party? It

659
00:54:34,199 --> 00:54:39,400
is is that what we're saying now
in America? Well, there was that

660
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:45,960
moment she is now I'm reminded of. It was a mini controversy, but

661
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:52,119
it blew over quickly. But remember
when Biden was on the Breakfast Club and

662
00:54:52,159 --> 00:54:54,400
when when he when what he said
to Charlemagne about you know, if you're

663
00:54:54,440 --> 00:55:01,480
not for me, you're not black
in Charlemagne I thought handled that very well

664
00:55:01,519 --> 00:55:08,119
because if you watch his face,
you can tell he wants to go off

665
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:13,800
on Joe Biden. I love Charlemagne
mcguy. I do too. That guy

666
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:19,679
is a pro. He he's someone
I actually really look up to as a

667
00:55:19,679 --> 00:55:23,519
as a host. His book Shook
One. Yeah I haven't. No,

668
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:28,480
have you read his book Shook One? No? No, I have not

669
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:34,360
very good really, some things I
disagree with in it, obviously. Yeah,

670
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:39,000
But like I think I've proven I
can disagree with you and still have

671
00:55:39,159 --> 00:55:45,119
the most, the utmost respect for
you. Why do you think you're my

672
00:55:45,159 --> 00:55:52,480
favorite conservative? Could be a good
reason. Yeah, I can disagree with

673
00:55:52,519 --> 00:55:55,760
you and still respect you. Yes, it's all in how you put it

674
00:55:55,840 --> 00:56:00,960
and how you carry yourself with it. Like I don't watch The Breakfast Club

675
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:09,159
every morning on b ET his gaily
talk show Monday through Friday, but that

676
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:14,360
and it's on during first take,
and I love that show. Oh is

677
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,599
that a that's a sports show,
right, yep? Stephen A Smith?

678
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:20,199
Oh yeah, yeah, I like
we've talked about. Even though I don't

679
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,760
follow sports, I do like if
I if I see something on YouTube related

680
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,719
to stephen A. Smith and it
looks interesting, I'll click it just because

681
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:32,199
I like him. It is a
YouTube His YouTube show No Mercy is really

682
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:39,679
insightful, is it? Yes?
And it's spelled no like k n Oh

683
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:46,320
you sorry, I can't spell today, okay and ow yeah No Mercy and

684
00:56:47,119 --> 00:56:53,199
so yeah, it's pretty clever.
I'll check it out. Oh, but

685
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:59,039
you were saying about Charlemagne the God. Yeah, I like Charlemagne. I

686
00:56:59,079 --> 00:57:02,079
really do. I really when I
gained respect for him is when he was

687
00:57:02,119 --> 00:57:12,239
on the Daily Show and he really
just kind of came at Trevor Noah really

688
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,400
well. He just was kind of
like, you know, in a way

689
00:57:16,199 --> 00:57:23,079
you promote division within the country,
and he's like when you attack only one

690
00:57:23,159 --> 00:57:30,800
side of the spectrum constantly and ridicule
them. What what did what did Trevor

691
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:34,960
Noah? How did he respond to
that? Trevor Noah's like, you know,

692
00:57:35,119 --> 00:57:37,519
it's just that, you know,
the president is a Republican right now,

693
00:57:37,559 --> 00:57:42,239
the president is always in the news, and that is fair to a

694
00:57:42,239 --> 00:57:45,440
degree. But but Charlemagne said,
well, no, it's an issue with

695
00:57:45,599 --> 00:57:51,159
all late night talk. He's like, it just seems like you guys find

696
00:57:51,199 --> 00:57:55,960
the viable target and go after it, right, And he's like, and

697
00:57:57,039 --> 00:58:00,679
more often than not, it's the
old men, and it's like that you're

698
00:58:00,719 --> 00:58:07,920
in you can be seen as alienating
one part of this country. Yeah,

699
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,280
that's interesting, and that's coming from
from you know, Charlemagne obviously as a

700
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:15,880
left leaning guy, so that's coming
from someone who he's like, I rip

701
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,360
on him too, he goes,
But I also realize that when I do

702
00:58:19,519 --> 00:58:23,480
that, I'm taking he goes,
there could be a large number of people

703
00:58:23,519 --> 00:58:28,719
that just turned me off at that
point, right, And he goes,

704
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,000
And then you turn around and say, why can't we be friends? Okay,

705
00:58:32,039 --> 00:58:37,320
well you keep making fun of my
beliefs, right, right, And

706
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:42,719
it was a very good point and
I'm greatly paraphrasing there, but that was

707
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:49,400
this bit. It came shortly after
he had a Tommy Layering on his show,

708
00:58:51,119 --> 00:58:55,000
that train wreck of an interview.
I didn't know about that. Oh

709
00:58:55,079 --> 00:59:00,760
it was bad, just bad TV. I can imagine right after she first

710
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:15,760
started and really started becoming big.
Yeah, huh and uh, and she

711
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:21,719
just you could tell she was trying
to decipher if Trevor Noah was joking with

712
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:28,599
her or really trying to be sincere, and she came off as, oh,

713
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:30,119
I know, I'm sorry, Eric, I know what you're talking about

714
00:59:30,119 --> 00:59:35,199
now. I misunderstood. I thought
you were talking about Charlemagne having Tommy Laurent

715
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,840
on the Breakfast Club. I didn't
realize you met the Daily Show. I

716
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,920
have I have seen the interview with
her on the Daily Show. Yeah,

717
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:45,360
yeah, that was bad. And
no her on the Breakfast Club. I

718
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:51,199
would be up with a bag of
popcorn and that would be musty TV.

719
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:58,039
That would be on the DVR marked
never Delete. Yeah, yeah, it

720
00:59:58,079 --> 01:00:02,760
would be a train because there's three
of them on the Breakfast Club, yes,

721
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:07,840
and one of them I forget her
name. She's awesome. I love

722
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:15,079
how Well's like, how direct she
is to the point. Oh, Charlemagne

723
01:00:15,119 --> 01:00:19,280
and the other guy would just shut
up, Yes, turn off the mics

724
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:24,039
and let them go. Yeah.
H well, Eric, we are we

725
01:00:24,079 --> 01:00:27,920
are a bit past the top of
the hour, so so we'll start to

726
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,599
wrap up with you. But but
yeah, I think you should. I

727
01:00:30,599 --> 01:00:36,039
think you should watch the debate.
I think it'll be very entertaining and uh,

728
01:00:36,159 --> 01:00:38,679
I think it should have its moments. I really agree with you,

729
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:44,000
Matt. I hope the knives come
out. Mike, are you gonna watch

730
01:00:44,039 --> 01:00:49,800
the debate? I'm actually going to
a date debate myself tonight. You're you're

731
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:55,800
going to a debate yourself? Yeah? What what debate? I know you

732
01:00:55,840 --> 01:01:00,159
don't want to talk about, so
I won't bring it up. Oh is

733
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,800
a local political thing? Oh okay, yeah, yeah, okay yeah yeah.

734
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:08,639
Oh well, well very good.
I mean local stuff is always good

735
01:01:08,679 --> 01:01:15,960
Texas, Mike, So you get
a pass I'm misma debate. Yes,

736
01:01:15,159 --> 01:01:20,079
yes, all right to be involved
in the community, Texas, Mike.

737
01:01:20,519 --> 01:01:22,519
Yep, yep. Uh. By
the way, since you're on Texas,

738
01:01:22,599 --> 01:01:27,320
Mike, where are my ice cream
bars? Oh? Mike, I totally

739
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:34,199
forgot about that. Well he should
have plenty of time now that he's no

740
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,000
longer the manager or producer for New
Force of the Spark. He should have

741
01:01:37,079 --> 01:01:45,000
time to deal with the ice cream
bars issue. Wait, whoa, I'm

742
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:52,599
a rising star at WMNH, Texas, Mike, I have the number four

Cedar Rapids the night the Exorcist sequel
premieres. Yes, that's gonna be a

748
01:02:30,719 --> 01:02:34,119
that's gonna be a big uh.
I'm sure when you get to making my

749
01:02:34,199 --> 01:02:38,159
ice cream bars, they will be
amazing. I'll try my best. That's

750
01:02:38,239 --> 01:02:43,079
right. Your best is all that
I needed. Texas Mike. Oh,

well, that's good. That's good. I will not fire you like uh

Queen City Chronicles. I'm sure you help

01:03:22,719 --> 01:03:30,159
You're busy. Budding relationship, I
understand. Thanks, okay, I appreciate

01:03:30,239 --> 01:03:36,159

go to what's the film review for Friday,

760
01:03:36,199 --> 01:03:45,360
please remind us all in honor of
my thirty plus year of hoping that

761
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:51,079
Notre Dame football does not let me
down and they inevitably will? Uh?

762
01:03:52,639 --> 01:03:55,639
Or is it, in other words, to start a college football we will?

763
01:03:55,719 --> 01:04:01,280
I will be reviewing the Burt Reynolds
Robert all Rich classic The Longest Yard.

764
01:04:02,599 --> 01:04:09,400
That's another film I've never seen,
but you know I had never I've

765
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:13,079
seen the read the Adam Sandl remake, yeah, but I've first seen the

766
01:04:13,119 --> 01:04:17,079
original until I watched it this weekend. Oh okay, well, very good.

767
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:23,360
So yeah, it was a great
film. I'd seen clips of it,

768
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:27,679
but never the whole film. Yeah. Yeah, all right, Well,

769
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,559
very good. While we look forward
to that. You're a classic film

770
01:04:30,559 --> 01:04:33,880
review this Friday, The Longest Yard? Very good? All right? Well,

771
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:38,719

772
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,519

774
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:53,119
Yeah, and I'm out as well. There's a social album for the debate.

775
01:04:53,199 --> 01:04:56,000
So oh okay, very good.
All right, Mike, he's leaving

776
01:04:56,039 --> 01:04:58,559
us too, yep, all right, thanks mikey, you are welcome.

777
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:03,280
And Mike all right, and thank
you Eric, and we will well we

778
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:08,320
look forward to your review on Friday. Absolutely, thanks Matt, all right,

779
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:12,400
you got it, take care bye
bye. All right, very good.

780
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:15,519
So whoa, everyone's leaving. So
Eric Pilcher has left us and Texas

781
01:05:15,519 --> 01:05:18,079
Mike has left us, and I'm
gonna leave you for a few minutes.

782
01:05:18,079 --> 01:05:24,039
We're gonna take a break. I'm
gonna play this track is called Ventilator.

783
01:05:24,079 --> 01:05:28,599
This is from Brooks Young, who
will be our musical guest tomorrow on the

784
01:05:28,639 --> 01:05:30,679
program. So I'm gonna play a
little Brooks Young. I think he's uh.

785
01:05:30,719 --> 01:05:33,119
I think he's gonna come in and
play live for us. But if

786
01:05:33,119 --> 01:05:38,079
not, I mean he's definitely coming
in for an interview. I think I

787
01:05:38,119 --> 01:05:42,239
interviewed Brooks probably the first time I
was talking about this yesterday. Actually,

788
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:46,000
I think like fifteen years ago.
So I see pictures of him now and

789
01:05:46,039 --> 01:05:48,559
he has gray hair, and I'm
like, whoa other than that, he

790
01:05:48,599 --> 01:05:53,880
looks exactly the same. But such
a talented guy, very very talented,

791
01:05:54,679 --> 01:06:00,360
incredible guitar player. And he's gonna
be I think Jenny mentioned yes today he's

792
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:04,039
gonna be going on tour with George
Thoroughgood, I think. So let's give

793
01:06:04,079 --> 01:06:08,639
this a listen. This is Ventilator
from Brooks Young and then we'll show some

818
01:08:27,119 --> 01:08:31,600
a little sense. Jill and I
closet like to lose a home. Years

819
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:35,960
ago, now fifteen years ago,
I was in Washington. Do we meet

820
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:43,920
the press. That was a Sunday
Sunday, and lightning struck at home on

821
01:08:44,079 --> 01:08:45,640
a little lake. It's outside of
our home, and I don't lake a

822
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:53,159
big pond and hit the wire.
I came up underneath our home into the

823
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:59,800
heating ducks, the air conditioning duck. Make a long story short. Almost

824

my wife why sixty seven corvette and
my cat walking aside, I watched the

825
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:23,159

826
01:09:23,359 --> 01:09:30,439
the Cammerah, mugshot big gas.
I say, he blows nine a pleasant

827

charges by all this ninety nine. Everybody

01:09:56,439 --> 01:10:04,119
the car, all the people Sara, as if he weren't just quite a

831
01:10:04,359 --> 01:11:02,760

Trivia Nights a very popular feature there.

01:12:32,319 --> 01:12:39,520
by the way, well I thought
there was one other thing. Oh no,

854
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,720
okay, I guess that's it.
But yeah, so the Hopnot,

855
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:47,239
like I said, Trivia night especially, that's probably the most popular night of

856
01:12:47,279 --> 01:12:50,359
the week there Thursday nights, and
you do want to reserve a spot if

857
01:12:50,399 --> 01:12:53,800
you want to do that, But
then again, you can always show up

858
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:56,680
and just you don't have to participate
in trivia. You could just go for

859
01:12:56,760 --> 01:13:00,640
the delicious gourmet pretzels and the assortment
of Kraft beers and it's a wonderful place,

860

and of course you can interact endo
Pine in the Facebook live chat. But

866
01:13:23,159 --> 01:13:26,600
the best thing to do so that
we can hear and enjoy your dulcet tones

867
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,359
is to give us a call at
six zoo three two five zero six z

868

seven six zo three two five zero
six zero seven. By the way,

869
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:36,439
I did see Chris from the band
Edgewise in the Facebook live chat as well

870
01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:44,079
as uh Stephen Arnold Beck in the
chat, and I does anyone in there

871
01:13:44,279 --> 01:13:46,319
I missed apologize. We will get
caught up on the chat. Actually,

872
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:49,760
we had some good comments in there
while I was talking with our friend Eric

873
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:55,800
Pilcher. Chrystal in the chat says
both the GOP and d NC need to

874
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:59,479
make a tendance of every debate mandatory
in order to win the primary. It's

875
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:03,560
ridiculous for Trump and Biden to refuse
to debate. Americans have questions that need

876
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:11,359
their answers. Screw them both for
refusing to show up. This is a

877
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:17,159
job. Application to half asset should
be automatic disqualification to be an eventual nominee.

878
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:27,880
I agree in principle. Let's see. Oh, wonder Swede joins us

879
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:32,960
in the Facebook live chat and is
arguing with Jay fed Wonder Swede says,

880
01:14:33,279 --> 01:14:39,640
mister hashtag Jason Feederson, we didn't
hack Isaac Banks. We are innocent.

881
01:14:40,239 --> 01:14:46,359
And there's more Jason for you corporation
that we eat just good friends with Isaac

882
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:49,439
Banks. If you don't understand this, it's how they talk in Greensboro,

883
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:55,560
North Carolina. You see us to
you, Jason, our soul man,

884
01:14:56,119 --> 01:15:00,880
from us to you, mister Feederson. Oh, mister Fetterson. Wow.

885
01:15:03,199 --> 01:15:08,920
Uh and there's more, Jason,
we see we are not wondrous Swede.

886
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:13,359
This is very confusing. Oh,
our friend Eric Pilcher is on the phone

887
01:15:13,359 --> 01:15:17,079
line. Hello, Hey man,
I know I was just one so sorry

888
01:15:17,159 --> 01:15:21,560
to call back in so soon.
I just got a breaking news alert from

889
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:28,359
the world of professional wrestling. Oh
I saw that, actually, yes,

890
01:15:29,079 --> 01:15:35,640
but go ahead break the news.
Hardcore wrestling legend Terry Funk has died.

891
01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:41,359
Yes, Terry Funk. I know
he was ill for a while, so

892
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:45,319
it's it's not you know, I'm
not terribly surprised. Shock, No,

893
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:50,720
not a shocking really poorly Yeah yeah, i'd seen video a number of months

894
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:56,000
ago of someone who had gone to
visit him, and uh, yeah,

895
01:15:56,319 --> 01:16:00,399
he looked he looked pretty rough.
But do we know the cause of death.

896
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:09,399
I'm not yet. I believe he
had some form of leukemia. Oh,

897
01:16:09,399 --> 01:16:12,199
I didn't realize I think. Oh
I didn't know that. Yeah.

898
01:16:12,199 --> 01:16:17,600
I think he had like some form
of cancer or some degenerative disease. It's

899
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:21,960
one or the other. I think. Yeah, I thought he had something

900
01:16:23,079 --> 01:16:28,159
degenerative, but I didn't. I
didn't know anything further than that. But

901
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:32,880
I mean, you watch the matches
he was in. Yeah, you can

902
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:39,119
draw your own conclusions. Yeah,
absolutely, yeah, he really mean.

903
01:16:40,279 --> 01:16:45,840
People say wrestling is fake. Watch
it hardcore Harry Funk match and come back

904
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:53,319
to me, yeah and say the
wrestling is fake. The guy was thrown

905
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:58,520
on a flaming board of barbed wire
with C fours under it. Yeah,

906
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:03,159
oh yeah, how old was he? Seventy nine? Okay? I thought

907
01:17:03,199 --> 01:17:08,399
he was around eighty. Yeah,
yeah, I mean he's probably honestly with

908
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,920
with the abuse that he went through
physically, he's probably fortunate to have made

909
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:15,399
it as long as he did.
To tell you the truth, Oh yeah,

910
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:21,079
yeah, I just yeah, just
there are there are some of his

911
01:17:21,359 --> 01:17:27,560
matches that I have not that I
can't watch and make it all the way

912
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:32,479
through. His matches with Onita in
FMW are just oh yeah, I can't

913
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:40,399
watch that stuff either. Yeah.
Blood baths, Yeah, I mean it's

914
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:45,079
just like, ah yeah, I
can't watch that. It's hard to watch.

915
01:17:45,239 --> 01:17:51,359
But then his stuff in easy W
he did were amazing matches. His

916
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:59,119
matches with Sabo, Shane Douglas stand
man, you know, we're really good.

917
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:03,199
Yeah. I mean he was a
rare guy like mcfoley that could use

918
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:09,680
violence to tell a story. Oh
yeah, absolutely. By the way,

919
01:18:10,039 --> 01:18:14,000
Wonder Swade in the chat room says, oh god, we say that is

920
01:18:14,039 --> 01:18:19,079
so terrible. Terry Funk passed away
from us a wrestler. We say so.

921
01:18:19,399 --> 01:18:24,560
Greensboro, North Carolina, weighing in
on the subject, Well, I

922
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:30,720
mean Greensboro, North Carolina was a
Terry Funk copbed. I mean for the

923
01:18:30,079 --> 01:18:35,399
I mean it's an NWA hotbed in
that's where he got his star. Is

924
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:41,560
the NWA Florida, so safe to
say he probably had quite had many,

925
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:49,960
many A matches in in North Carolina. Yes, oh, absolutely absolutely.

926
01:18:50,359 --> 01:18:55,199
Well that's very sad, but I
do appreciate h I do appreciate you filling

927
01:18:55,279 --> 01:19:00,039
us in, Eric. Yeah,
I just yeah. My cousin sent me

928
01:19:00,119 --> 01:19:06,359
a text. My cousin Austin and
told me, and I checked and I

929
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:11,640
checked my phone and then I saw
the breaking news alert from I have pro

930
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:15,840
wrestling news alert turned on and I
saw it and I was like, wow,

931
01:19:16,119 --> 01:19:24,359
wondrous Swede, says Eric of us. That is so true. Yeah,

932
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:29,119
I mean you watch enough pro wrestling
you learn these things. Yes,

933
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:32,880
yes, yeah, all right,
Eric, Well we appreciate the call.

934
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:36,439
Thank you. Yep, sorry to
interrupt, man, Oh not at all,

935
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:39,560
not at all. All right,
thank you, my friend, take

936
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:44,319
care bye bye. Yeah, Terry
funk. Yeah. Like I said,

937
01:19:44,359 --> 01:19:47,439
it's not a not a big surprise. I know that he hadn't been doing

938
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:50,359
well for at least a couple of
years. And boy, boy, the

939
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:55,880
the abuse the human body can only
take so much. But that's terrible if

940
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,479
you had something else going on on
top on top of that. I know

941
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:00,279
he had to have been in on
payin and I think he was in a

942
01:20:00,279 --> 01:20:04,800
wheelchair towards the end, if I'm
not mistaken, But anyway, well,

943
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:11,000
rest in peace, Terry Funk,
a true legend. Six zo three two

944
01:20:11,079 --> 01:20:13,319
five zero six zero seven is a
number if you'd like to join us.

945
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:16,520
The studio line is open. Six
zero three two five six zero seven.

946
01:20:17,079 --> 01:20:20,640
Wondrous Wade in the chat room also
says, uh, this is regarding the

947
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:29,079
manager and producer position from which Texas
Mike had recently resigned from from new affirm

948
01:20:29,239 --> 01:20:31,520
or new New Force of the Spark, whatever it is, Wondrous way,

949
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:35,800
it says well from us to say
new Force of the Spark has a new

950
01:20:36,079 --> 01:20:44,720
manager producer is Dustin Blake. Hashtag
Matt and hashtag jen n Dustin Blake.

951
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:48,960
He beat me out. I was
going to go for that, all right,

952
01:20:51,119 --> 01:21:02,880
let's see, I wanted to just
briefly and then of course it's a

953
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:10,760
very big news day, but just
briefly, just some thoughts on yesterday.

954
01:21:11,119 --> 01:21:15,760
If you missed yesterday's show, we
had Mary Anne Williamson, a presidential candidate

955
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:23,119
running as a Democrat, challenging Joe
Biden, and uh, she was here

956
01:21:23,239 --> 01:21:26,319
with us on the show. She
was with us for she got here a

957
01:21:26,359 --> 01:21:29,399
little late. They were running behind, but but she did make it and

958
01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:32,479
it was wonderful to get to talk
with her and to meet her and very

959
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,000
nice, by the way, very
nice even you know, off Mike.

960
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:40,399
She's got a certain she's got a
warmth about her. Really seems like a

961
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:45,359
really nice person. And so I
think we got about forty five minutes with

962
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:48,760
her during the first hour, and
I really enjoyed the discussion. And what

963
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:53,359
I'm hoping is uh and I'm sure
we'll be able to make this happen,

964
01:21:54,159 --> 01:21:58,079
and I don't see why not.
I'd like to have her back on the

965
01:21:58,119 --> 01:22:01,319
show in the near future, and
you know, obviously she'll be spending a

966
01:22:01,399 --> 01:22:04,880
lot of time here in New Hampshire. We do have the first in the

967
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:09,640
nation primary. I think, I
know the DNC was trying to take that

968
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:13,520
away from us and give it to
South Carolina. But regardless, I'm sure

969
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:15,760
we'll be seeing more of Mary Ann
Williamson. And what I what I would

970
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:18,520
like to do ideally is to is
to have her on one day where we

971
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:23,920
don't have anybody else and if she
if she's able to give us the time,

972
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:27,800
I'd like to And I've seen her
do long form interviews on other programs,

973
01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:30,560
so I have to assume she would
be amenable to it. I'd like

974
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:35,479
to have her here for the full
two hours and really kind of drill down

975
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:44,119
on some subjects. Yesterday, really
we just kind of we didn't really talk

976
01:22:44,159 --> 01:22:48,359
about any one issue for too long. I wanted to kind of just get

977
01:22:48,399 --> 01:22:53,520
her on record in terms of her
positions on a lot of different things,

978
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:56,600
and really just kind of for the
audience, who, you know, because

979
01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:00,439
she is a not to be disrespectful, but I think what you would consider

980
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:03,359
a quote unquote fringe candidate in the
sense that obviously she's not a threat.

981
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:09,000
She's not a legitimate threat to the
incumbent, who is President Joe Biden,

982
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:14,720
in terms of the nomination, but
but she is very interesting and she talks

983
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:19,439
about a lot of issues that in
ways that the president does not, and

984
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:27,479
I wanted to just kind of get
her her positions on a lot of different

985
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:30,840
things, so we kind of kept
the conversation moving. She said some things

986
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:34,600
that I agreed with and some things
that I certainly did not agree with,

987
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:38,479
But like I said, I didn't
want to get stuck on any one thing

988
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:41,359
because I wanted to try to get
in. You know, we only had

989
01:23:41,399 --> 01:23:44,199
her for a limited time, but
if we can in the future get her

990
01:23:44,239 --> 01:23:47,199
back for the full two hours,
I would love to and I'm sure Jenny

991
01:23:47,239 --> 01:23:50,399
would like to do this as well, you know, get really in depth

992
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:55,520
on some things and you know,
try to focus maybe on I think the

993
01:23:55,600 --> 01:24:00,800
most interesting thing would be, and
I would certainly to be the more intellectually

994
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:03,760
stimulating thing would be to talk about
some of the issues where we disagree.

995
01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:11,000
And I've seen her go on on
podcasts and really kind of debate people.

996
01:24:12,039 --> 01:24:17,319
I was watching her appearance on Bill
Maher's podcast Club Random, and you know,

997
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,600
they politically, they're they're kind of
coming from the same place. But

998
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:25,720
I think Bill Bill Maher's politics are
probably a lot closer to mine, you

999
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:29,680
know, in terms of being you
know, sort of center left but also

1000
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:35,479
kind of libertarian in some ways.
But but it was interesting the conversation between

1001
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:38,640
the two of them, in the
way they interacted, and you know,

1002
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,600
I'd like to be able to do
something like that with Mary Anne Williamson.

1003
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:43,680
So I'm, like I said,
I'm sure she'll be back. She seemed

1004
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:45,840
to enjoy the experience. She was
she was very nice afterwards, and we

1005
01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:50,560
took pictures with her, and it
was a really enjoyed talking with her.

1006
01:24:54,039 --> 01:24:56,640
Like I said, you know,
she said some things that I did not

1007
01:24:56,760 --> 01:25:00,960
agree with from a policy standpoint,
but I want to to get her opinions.

1008
01:25:00,039 --> 01:25:03,159
But it's funny. There was one
thing at the end, and I

1009
01:25:03,319 --> 01:25:05,840
was watching the time because I knew
she needed to be out of here at

1010
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:09,600
five pm, and we had other
guests coming in in the second hour.

1011
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:14,159
Anyway, we had again if you
miss yesterday's show, Cody Pope and Byron

1012
01:25:14,279 --> 01:25:16,319
g were here in the second hour
and they performed live for us, and

1013
01:25:16,359 --> 01:25:19,479
it was just so good. Those
guys just get better and better. Love

1014
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:25,159
having them on. And I love
the positivity too of what they're doing.

1015
01:25:26,239 --> 01:25:32,159
Great stuff. But right at the
it was at the end. I think

1016
01:25:32,199 --> 01:25:38,439
it might have been. The last
real political issue that we talked about was

1017
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:41,840
the debt limit, and when that
came up, I had to and again

1018
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:45,840
I wasn't you know, I wasn't
looking to get stuck on anything. I

1019
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:48,479
just kind of wanted to get her
on the record about all these things.

1020
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:51,319
And it kind of gives us,
assuming that she will come back, sort

1021
01:25:51,319 --> 01:25:55,079
of gives us a jumping off point
for when she does return, and we

1022
01:25:55,119 --> 01:25:58,079
can get in deeper on some things. But when the debt limit came up,

1023
01:25:58,159 --> 01:26:01,000
I was I had to I had
to push back on what she was

1024
01:26:01,079 --> 01:26:04,399
saying. You know her position,
And if you're a longtime listener of the

1025
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:08,479
show, you know I probably have
talked about the debt ceiling, or the

1026
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:12,279
debt limit, or the fiscal cliff, whatever term you want to use,

1027
01:26:12,399 --> 01:26:16,359
various terms. I probably talked about
that issue specifically more than just about any

1028
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:25,680
other radio show. But when she
said her position on that was that Biden

1029
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:30,159
should not have negotiated with Kevin McCarthy
and negotiated with the Republicans and instead should

1030
01:26:30,159 --> 01:26:36,159
have simply invoked the fourteenth Amendment to
raise the debt limit unilaterally. And I

1031
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:43,479
think that's crazy. You know,
I had to push back on that.

1032
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:46,439
I mean, I just think that
that's that would have been such a dangerous

1033
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:50,279
move because we don't know if the
fourteenth Amendment would have held up, how

1034
01:26:50,279 --> 01:26:53,840
it would even be invoked. It
had never been done before, and I

1035
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:57,359
thought that was much too dangerous.
I did agree with her about she was

1036
01:26:57,399 --> 01:27:01,800
talking about how Democrats are very often
afraid to use their power, whereas Republicans

1037
01:27:02,399 --> 01:27:09,079
can be quite ruthless, you know, As I like to say, Democrats

1038
01:27:09,159 --> 01:27:12,800
will often bring a bring a knife
to a gunfight, and if it's a

1039
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:16,199
knife fight, they'll bring a plastic
spork. So I mean, we had

1040
01:27:16,239 --> 01:27:19,600
some agreement there. But then when
she said she didn't think that Biden should

1041
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:25,039
have negotiated at all and simply invoked
the fourteenth, that would have been so

1042
01:27:25,239 --> 01:27:29,840
dangerous because all it would have taken
was some judge to put an injunction on

1043
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:33,399
Biden's invocation of the fourteenth, and
you know, we would have ended up

1044
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:40,399
in global economic catastrophe. So I
had to I had to say something on

1045
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:43,479
that. Again, I didn't want
to get into the weeds, and especially

1046
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:45,560
where it was almost the top of
the hour at that point, but I

1047
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:49,119
had to say, well, Mary
Ann, come on anyway. I would

1048
01:27:49,159 --> 01:27:51,439
love to talk with her more about
that in the future. So I do

1049
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:56,640
hope she'll come back. But the
other observation that I had, and I

1050
01:27:56,800 --> 01:28:00,359
was thinking about this, it occurred
to me while she was here, but

1051
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:04,239
it also I was thinking about it
a lot today. I did listen back

1052
01:28:04,399 --> 01:28:08,079
to most of it. I didn't
get a chance to listen back to all

1053
01:28:08,079 --> 01:28:10,560
of it, but I did listen
back to most of it, and I

1054
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:14,479
was reflecting on a lot of what
she talked about. And the thing that

1055
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:20,760
occurred to me is much of what
she talks about when we're talking specifically about

1056
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:29,000
economic issues, she's actually expressing a
lot of the same concerns that I hear

1057
01:28:29,119 --> 01:28:33,239
from Republicans and Mary Ann Williamson obviously, I mean, she's certainly to the

1058
01:28:33,359 --> 01:28:36,960
left of Biden. I would put
her more in the realm of Bernie Sanders,

1059
01:28:38,039 --> 01:28:42,319
which I think she endorsed us.
She wound up endorsing Bernie when she

1060
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:46,359
dropped out in twenty twenty. But
what's interesting is so the through line here,

1061
01:28:46,399 --> 01:28:53,920
though, is she's talking about things
like she's talking about inflation, and

1062
01:28:54,399 --> 01:28:57,680
you know, she's talking about the
price of gas and the price of housing

1063
01:28:57,760 --> 01:29:03,920
and whatnot, and she's talking about
things that again these are these are also

1064
01:29:04,119 --> 01:29:11,680
issues that Republicans express about the economy. But you don't hear the President and

1065
01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:15,920
other mainstream Democrats and those who are
going to support Biden no matter what.

1066
01:29:16,079 --> 01:29:21,600
Of course, even though polling data
shows something like seventy percent of Democrats don't

1067
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:27,039
want Biden to run for reelection,
they want somebody new again. It's it

1068
01:29:27,159 --> 01:29:34,119
goes back to we talked about it
in the first hour. But they,

1069
01:29:34,399 --> 01:29:39,920
you know, they frame it as
you know, Biden and others, they

1070
01:29:40,079 --> 01:29:45,479
frame it as they're so confident in
their framing of the economy and of the

1071
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:48,520
current economic picture. They even gave
it. They call it Bidenomics, which

1072
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:56,079
is of course a play on what
was Reaganomics in the eighties. And where

1073
01:29:56,199 --> 01:29:59,600
they're coming from, and this is
I want to be very careful about how

1074
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:01,560
I say that. This is a
nuanced point, and I don't want to

1075
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:06,319
be misunderstood on what I'm saying.
But where they're coming from, they're not

1076
01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:15,439
wrong when they say that overall,
big picture, the fundamentals of the economy

1077
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:20,520
are strong. That is true.
That is true. The economy is growing,

1078
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:27,680
it continues to grow. We have
the lowest unemployment rate really in recorded

1079
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:30,159
history, the three and a half
percent. We're still there, close to

1080
01:30:30,319 --> 01:30:41,319
it. It's pretty remarkable. Labor
participation is very high. We're doing very

1081
01:30:41,399 --> 01:30:48,840
well. Overall, talk of recession, the inevitable recession has receded to the

1082
01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:55,920
point where now I think the FED
has a much rosier long term forecast,

1083
01:30:56,640 --> 01:31:00,920
or at least a short term forecast
and probably long term. So they're right

1084
01:31:01,119 --> 01:31:05,560
in the sense that, you know, the way the American economy rebounded post

1085
01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:13,520
COVID has been really impressive. So
they're not wrong when they say that the

1086
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:18,640
fundamentals of this economy are very strong, and there's even manufacturing is up.

1087
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:23,520
There are a lot of really good
things going on in the economy. That

1088
01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:29,880
is absolutely true, and they feel
so confident in that message. Biden is

1089
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:34,319
actually calling it by denomics. I
think that's a horrible mistake, but I'll

1090
01:31:34,319 --> 01:31:39,920
come back to that. So they're
right when they say that. But then

1091
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:44,239
there's the other side to it,
And the other side to that is,

1092
01:31:45,159 --> 01:31:53,800
yes, the fundamentals are very strong, but one of the weaknesses is a

1093
01:31:54,119 --> 01:32:00,279
huge weakness that is right in everybody's
face every single day. That is inflation,

1094
01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:06,760
which again is coming down progress,
but still it's still too high and

1095
01:32:08,199 --> 01:32:11,960
inflation you feel that every day.
So, in other words, no matter

1096
01:32:12,199 --> 01:32:15,359
how strong the fundamental the fundamentals of
the economy are, and they are,

1097
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:20,399
I think economists generally agree, inflation
is in your face every day. It's

1098
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:24,399
in your face when you're buying gas, it's in your face when you're buying

1099
01:32:24,439 --> 01:32:30,960
groceries, and it's in your face
when you're paying your utility bills, you

1100
01:32:30,039 --> 01:32:35,279
know, And that's real. And
what I saw a pretty shocking number recently.

1101
01:32:35,479 --> 01:32:40,520
It was something like seven hundred dollars. I don't remember the exact number

1102
01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:45,680
in terms of what the average American
household is paying more than they were a

1103
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:49,880
year ago just on living expenses.
How much that has gone up. It's

1104
01:32:50,039 --> 01:32:54,920
it's quite shocking. Actually, when
you see it in real numbers, it's

1105
01:32:54,960 --> 01:33:05,359
like wow. So what mary Ann
Williamson speaks to is, Okay, Biden's

1106
01:33:05,359 --> 01:33:10,760
going to tell you all of this, but here's here's how Americans are struggling.

1107
01:33:11,720 --> 01:33:15,560
And that actually is in line with
what Republicans will say when Republicans will

1108
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:17,159
say, well, yeah, Biden
says, Biden says, the economy is

1109
01:33:17,199 --> 01:33:19,960
great, but what about this,
this and this, Well that this,

1110
01:33:20,199 --> 01:33:24,520
this and this is the same this, this, and this that Mary Ann

1111
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:30,520
Williamson was talking about yesterday. So
it's interesting. There's sort of a it's

1112
01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:33,600
an interesting through line. Not that
I'm saying that Republicans should support mary Ann

1113
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:39,000
Williamson. That's never gonna happen,
because you know, you may have some

1114
01:33:39,239 --> 01:33:45,960
agreement on what the problems are and
what the weaknesses are outside of the Bidenomics

1115
01:33:46,119 --> 01:33:49,720
narrative, right, But that doesn't
mean you're going to ever agree on the

1116
01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:55,720
solutions, and Mary Ann Williamson and
Republicans are never going to agree on the

1117
01:33:55,920 --> 01:34:00,600
solutions, but there is some common
ground there in terms of identifying the problems.

1118
01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:04,479
And I thought that was interesting and
I was thinking about that yesterday as

1119
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:08,640
she was talking, but I also, again I was thinking about it more

1120
01:34:08,720 --> 01:34:14,119
when I was listening back to it
today. It's like she's identifying things that

1121
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:19,920
Biden isn't going to talk about because
politically Biden really can't afford to talk about

1122
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:24,279
them now. And just to kind
of put a bow on that, because

1123
01:34:24,319 --> 01:34:27,079
I do want to in the remaining
minutes of today's show, I do want

1124
01:34:27,079 --> 01:34:35,840
to look at Spen another blockbuster day
in legal news. But I think,

1125
01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:41,520
and I've said this on the show
before, but I think the the Biden

1126
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:48,079
campaign has taken a horrendous risk with
Bidenomics and putting a name on that is

1127
01:34:48,159 --> 01:34:53,039
so bad what they should be doing. And if you're a regular listener,

1128
01:34:53,119 --> 01:34:57,600
you know I talk all the time
on the show about how Democrats are horrible

1129
01:34:57,720 --> 01:35:02,640
at messaging they're really bad at it, and what they should be doing is

1130
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:08,159
they should be out there again,
I'm not I'm not talking about Maryanne because

1131
01:35:08,159 --> 01:35:11,039
she's speaking on a different level.
But I'm talking about the you know,

1132
01:35:11,199 --> 01:35:14,960
the Biden and those who would support
him, who continue to support him.

1133
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:18,920
What they should be out doing every
day is talking about the good things in

1134
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:23,479
the economy, of which there are
many. There are many good things going

1135
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:26,720
on in the economy. You know, three and a half percent unemployment,

1136
01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:30,720
it's pretty good. That's something to
crow about. I think. Do I

1137
01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:32,079
give credit? By the way,
just to be clear though, because I'm

1138
01:35:32,079 --> 01:35:35,199
consistent on this, do I give
Biden credit for that? Absolutely? Not

1139
01:35:36,119 --> 01:35:41,520
that. I don't give presidents credit
or blame for how the economy is doing.

1140
01:35:43,039 --> 01:35:46,000
Sorry, it's much more complex than
that. I know people don't like

1141
01:35:46,199 --> 01:35:53,800
that. People like to view the
economy generally through only a partisan ideological lens.

1142
01:35:54,319 --> 01:35:58,000
I don't do that, So I'm
not giving him credit. But I

1143
01:35:58,079 --> 01:36:01,760
also understanding how the political game is
played, you take credit where you can.

1144
01:36:03,039 --> 01:36:06,439
What they should be doing, what
the Democrats should be doing is out

1145
01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:11,199
there pounding the table every day saying, look at this unemployment rate. This

1146
01:36:11,319 --> 01:36:14,760
is incredible. Look at how manufacturing
has grown. This is incredible. Look

1147
01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:16,279
at this, look at this,
look at this pointing out all the good

1148
01:36:16,319 --> 01:36:21,000
things, but putting a label on
it, putting a brand name to it,

1149
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:29,239
like calling it biodnomics. To me, it's I know it's been a

1150
01:36:29,279 --> 01:36:32,119
few weeks now since we've first heard
that term, but to me, that

1151
01:36:32,279 --> 01:36:38,520
is so risky and frankly stupid.
It's it's actually shocking to me. I

1152
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:45,039
think it's a terrible misstep because,
first of all, anyone who opposes you,

1153
01:36:45,279 --> 01:36:48,000
all they have to do is say, well, what about inflation?

1154
01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:53,600
Is that biden Anomics? I guess
so. Well, what about the price

1155
01:36:53,680 --> 01:37:00,520
of housing people can't afford rent?
Is that bidenomics? That's something Mary Williamson

1156
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:05,520
talked about yesterday too. Is that
bidenomics? I guess so. People's electric

1157
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:09,960
bills have gone way up? Is
that Bidenomics? I guess so. So

1158
01:37:10,319 --> 01:37:14,960
by putting that name on it,
he actually makes it easier for those who

1159
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:18,560
oppose him. We were going to
make a different argument about the economy to

1160
01:37:19,359 --> 01:37:26,720
attach negative things to that name bidonomics. And the other big problem is what

1161
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:31,199
if And again, there seems to
be a lot of optimism that we,

1162
01:37:31,319 --> 01:37:36,399
in fact, are going to be
able to avoid a recession for at least

1163
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:43,399
a while and have what they call
a soft landing as we continue to as

1164
01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:49,439
the economy continues to evolve out of
the pandemic. But what if they're wrong,

1165
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:54,640
and what if the economy does tip
into recession, and what if it

1166
01:37:54,840 --> 01:38:03,319
happens during the campaign. Well,
and he's already labeled he's already labeled the

1167
01:38:03,399 --> 01:38:11,000
current American economy as the result of
Bidenomics. Well, now that becomes an

1168
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:15,199
albatross. Oh, look, the
economy is in recession. That's bydnomics.

1169
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:20,600
See it's such a bad idea.
I still, I swear the first time

1170
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:29,319
I heard him say it, talking
about biodynamics, I thought, this is,

1171
01:38:29,720 --> 01:38:32,720
first of all, it's cringe,
and second of all, what an

1172
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:39,000
unbelievable risk that is to take.
If you want to stand at that podium

1173
01:38:39,039 --> 01:38:42,520
I don't remember where he was given
a speech somewhere, if you want to

1174
01:38:42,600 --> 01:38:45,000
stand at that podium and say,
hey, we got some great stuff going

1175
01:38:45,039 --> 01:38:48,680
on in this economy, and we
do. We do have some very good

1176
01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:53,880
things, are some very strong indicators
in this economy, and this economy continues

1177
01:38:53,920 --> 01:38:59,439
to expand and the job market continues
to do very well. I mean,

1178
01:38:59,520 --> 01:39:01,600
there's a lot to crow about there, if you want to crow about those

1179
01:39:01,720 --> 01:39:05,000
things. And of course, you
know, ignore the things you don't want

1180
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:09,399
to talk about because they're harmful to
you. Politically, that makes sense.

1181
01:39:10,079 --> 01:39:18,000
But to but knowing knowing that you
have critics who are mentioning the bad things

1182
01:39:18,359 --> 01:39:24,359
obviously right because politically that's what they're
going to do. And when you know

1183
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:29,680
that those bad things are valid because
in many instances there are things that everyday

1184
01:39:29,720 --> 01:39:32,840
Americans are feeling every day when they
buy groceries, when they pay their utility

1185
01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:36,680
bills, when they put gas in
the car. Why would you want to

1186
01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:41,720
put a label on that? I
could see? I mean, if we

1187
01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:46,479
had an economy like we had in
the nineteen nineties, where we experienced during

1188
01:39:46,520 --> 01:39:54,439
the Clinton administration the longest period of
sustained economic growth in American history. You

1189
01:39:54,560 --> 01:40:00,399
know, if if Bill Clinton had
wanted to call that Clinton nomics, I

1190
01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:05,640
still would have found it cringe.
But but but I could understand it.

1191
01:40:06,119 --> 01:40:13,840
Right, But the risk, the
risk of calling this by dynamics is quite

1192
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:21,520
perilous. If you want to get
in with a very quick call. We

1193
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:26,079
have a few minutes left in today's
show six ozho three two five zero six

1194
01:40:26,199 --> 01:40:34,359
zero seven six zero three two five
zero six zero seven. What's going on

1195
01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:40,000
in the chat room now? Wondrous
Wade says hashtag Jen. We are from

1196
01:40:40,039 --> 01:40:44,840
Greensboro, North Carolina. We are
covering some soul for Real songs. I

1197
01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:49,079
remember Soul for Real and us to
you Jen Coffee Soul for Real as an

1198
01:40:49,199 --> 01:40:55,479
R and B singing group. And
Miriam asks Mariam Banish, wait, did

1199
01:40:55,560 --> 01:41:00,359
someone say the name Dustin Blake?
Because there was a young person in Manchester

1200
01:41:00,520 --> 01:41:04,520
named Dustin Blake who passed away at
age seventeen. If one of those Greensboro

1201
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:10,439
people said that they better have a
good reason. Where did you get his

1202
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:15,159
name? There was a Dustin Blake? Huh? Interesting, wondrous way,

1203
01:41:15,159 --> 01:41:17,720
it says hashtag Miriam. We say, from us, we said his name

1204
01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:21,560
Dustin Blake. He is from and
lives in Greensboro, North Carolina. Well,

1205
01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:25,239
there certainly could be more than one
person by that name, and he

1206
01:41:25,319 --> 01:41:30,479
works at Libby Hill and now works
at Jimmy John's Sandwich Place. From us

1207
01:41:30,640 --> 01:41:41,680
to you, Miriam, Okay,
let's see so again the debate is tonight?

1208
01:41:42,159 --> 01:41:45,479
Really looking forward to that. I
don't have any particular predictions. I

1209
01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:48,680
think these I think the participants.
Oh you know what did surprise me though,

1210
01:41:49,279 --> 01:41:56,479
So I didn't realize that congressman from
Texas, former Congressman Will Heard,

1211
01:41:56,880 --> 01:42:00,760
I didn't realize that he didn't qualify
for tonight's debate. Now he says he

1212
01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:08,439
should have qualified, but but they're
ignoring some of his numbers or something.

1213
01:42:08,560 --> 01:42:14,079
He said he qualified in terms of
donations. But uh, but he has

1214
01:42:14,119 --> 01:42:16,000
been shut out. And then I
know there was a question about whether Doug

1215
01:42:16,039 --> 01:42:19,159
Bergham was going to be able to
make it. So we'll see, we'll

1216
01:42:19,159 --> 01:42:21,199
see who's there and who's not.
I mean, we know who will be

1217
01:42:21,279 --> 01:42:25,720
there, of course, Chris Christie, Randa Santists, Tim Scott, Nikki

1218
01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:30,840
Hayley, Mike Pence. I'm sure
I'm forgetting people. Oh, Vivek Rama

1219
01:42:30,880 --> 01:42:39,079
Swamy. It will be interesting to
see if if De Santists does go after

1220
01:42:39,199 --> 01:42:45,239
Vivek, or if Vek goes after
De Santis. There was a rumor that

1221
01:42:45,479 --> 01:42:50,680
part of the reason that Vvek Ramaswamy
was running was specifically to take down to

1222
01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:56,920
Santis, that he was chosen by
people to do that. I don't know,

1223
01:42:59,479 --> 01:43:00,880
but I want, Oh, let's
look at this just quickly and then

1224
01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:03,279
we gotta go. We're almost out
of show. But yeah, I don't

1225
01:43:03,279 --> 01:43:08,800
forget the Republican debates tonight. I'm
sure we'll talk about it tomorrow. Media

1226
01:43:09,159 --> 01:43:13,800
reports breaking news. Mug shots of
Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Jenna

1227
01:43:13,880 --> 01:43:20,079
Ellis released after Trump lawyer's a surrender
in Georgia. Let's see, I'm looking

1228
01:43:20,119 --> 01:43:27,279
at Giuliani's mug shot. He looks
like he looks determined, like he's like,

1229
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:38,920
yeah, I'm still America's mayor.
Let's see Sidney Powell. Wow,

1230
01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:46,720
she's got the crazy eyes. And
Jenna Ellis, she's got a huge smile.

1231
01:43:46,920 --> 01:43:54,279
She's very happy to be there.
Unless wait to have Sidney Powell and

1232
01:43:54,359 --> 01:43:58,239
Jenna Ellis mixed up. I don't
know. One of them's got the crazy

1233
01:43:58,319 --> 01:44:00,960
eyes and the other one has a
big smile. That the big smile makes

1234
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:05,640
her look not crazy, it says
here. According to Ammas NBC, Giuliani

1235
01:44:05,720 --> 01:44:12,600
has retained John Esposito as his lawyer
and local counsel Brian TeVeS. It has

1236
01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:16,119
been widely reported that Giuliani is going
through serious financial troubles related to his legal

1237
01:44:16,199 --> 01:44:20,439
bills. Yeah, Trump still owes
him a ton of money. Giuliani,

1238
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:26,399
a top advisor and lawyer to former
President Donald Trump, defended himself to the

1239
01:44:26,479 --> 01:44:30,319
press before boarding the plane that took
him from his home in New York City

1240
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:33,159
to Georgia, saying, quote,
I am fighting for justice. I've been

1241
01:44:33,279 --> 01:44:39,359
from the first moment I represented Donald
Trump. And as a man who has

1242
01:44:39,439 --> 01:44:44,359
now been proven innocent several times unquote, yes, boy, he's got to

1243
01:44:44,399 --> 01:44:47,039
go through his I mean, he's
presumed innocent until proven guilty. He's got

1244
01:44:47,239 --> 01:44:53,319
you know, I don't know.
He might wind up at the end being

1245
01:44:53,399 --> 01:44:56,520
proven innocent several times, but he's
got to have his trials first. By

1246
01:44:56,560 --> 01:44:59,840
the way, Giuliani, interestingly,
so he's been talking about how or it's

1247
01:45:00,039 --> 01:45:03,760
and widely reported he cannot afford.
He's having difficulty of finding lawyers to represent

1248
01:45:03,880 --> 01:45:08,279
him. Apparently he did find a
couple. Because he has a ton of

1249
01:45:08,479 --> 01:45:12,720
legal debt. He's in a terrible
position. He's got all this legal debt.

1250
01:45:12,840 --> 01:45:16,159
He owes money to so many lawyers
whom he hasn't paid. Meanwhile,

1251
01:45:16,279 --> 01:45:20,399
Trump never paid him because Trump treats
all of his lawyers like the buye here

1252
01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:25,319
pay here. Lawyers you see on
TV, you know, the the ambulance

1253
01:45:25,399 --> 01:45:29,600
chasing injury attorneys who tell you,
you know, you don't pay us if

1254
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:32,039
we don't win or something. And
you know, I don't know Jim sokolof

1255
01:45:32,119 --> 01:45:38,479
those guys. So, but that's
why Giuliani's six million dollar apartment in New

1256
01:45:38,560 --> 01:45:44,920
York is apparently on up for sale. Oh but Giuliani was dropped off.

1257
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:47,520
He flew in on a private jet. I don't know who paid for the

1258
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:53,640
private jet, but that's how he
got to the jail. I guess if

1259
01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:57,079
you're on your way to the who'scal
that's a nice way to go, it

1260
01:45:57,119 --> 01:46:00,680
says your. Other defendants from Trump's
legal team turned themselves in on Wednesday,

1261
01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:11,319
including Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell.
Their mug shots were also released. Trump

1262
01:46:11,439 --> 01:46:14,840
is expected to turn himself in and
of his mug shot taken tomorrow, with

1263
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:18,960
a bail agreement of two hundred thousand
dollars. Fulton County District Attorney Fini Willis

1264
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:24,560
gave Trump and his eighteen co defendants
a deadline of August twenty five to turn

1265
01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:30,079
themselves into the Fulton County jail,
already booked an out on bail are trump

1266
01:46:30,239 --> 01:46:33,680
lawyer John Eastman and Scott Hall,
another one of the eighteen co defendants,

1267
01:46:33,680 --> 01:46:38,319
who is also a bail bondsman.
Mark Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff,

1268
01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:44,960
tried to delay his surrender but failed. Ellis and Kenneth Cheesebro, who

1269
01:46:45,079 --> 01:46:48,039
was allegedly responsible for the facal Actors
scheme, are also both out on bail

1270
01:46:48,399 --> 01:46:54,840
after one hundred thousand dollars bond agreements. Trump and his co defendants have been

1271
01:46:54,960 --> 01:47:00,560
charged with allegedly hatching a scheme to
overturn Georgia's twenty twenty action. All right,

1272
01:47:01,439 --> 01:47:06,359
we've got to go. Oh,
Jenny just posted a link in the

1273
01:47:06,399 --> 01:47:10,399
chat room. Here are a bunch
of mug shots. L ol. Well,

1274
01:47:10,479 --> 01:47:15,479
tomorrow we'll get to see uh,
we'll get to see Trump's. But

1275
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:18,560
he you know, I'm sure he
won't mind having his mug shot taken because

1276
01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:24,880
he'll monetize it. He'll have it
put on T shirts and then MAGA people

1277
01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:28,279
will buy the T shirts and to
donate money to his campaign. It'll be

1278
01:47:28,399 --> 01:47:31,600
great. All right, We are
out of time, my friends. If

1279
01:47:31,600 --> 01:47:33,760
you missed any part of today's show
it we'll be up in just a little

1280
01:47:33,760 --> 01:47:38,880
bit at WMACH radio dot org and
at my website Matt Connerton dot com.

1281
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:41,960
Thank you again, of course,
Eric Pilcher for joining us in the first

1282
01:47:42,039 --> 01:47:44,680
hour as he does every Wednesday,
and Texas Mike. That was a nice

1283
01:47:44,680 --> 01:47:46,520
surprise. Good to see him.
I don't forget. Tomorrow on the show,

1284
01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:50,840
our musical guest is the great Brooks
Young. He's gonna come in and

1285
01:47:50,920 --> 01:47:54,479
join us live in studio, and
I haven't seen Brooks in quite a few

1286
01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:58,520
years, so this will be This
will be wonderful and I'm really looking forward

1287
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:00,720
to that. And in fact,
we will leave you with another one of

1288
01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:05,119
his songs to play us out.
This is called Same Old Blues, and

1289
01:48:05,720 --> 01:48:09,000
that's going to do it for us
for now. Don't forget to open Mike

1290
01:48:09,039 --> 01:48:11,760
tonight at the Hopknot, and we'll
talk to y'all a little bit later.

1291
01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:12,399
By everybody,
