WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:07.080 A passionate instigator and dynamic problem solver. Doctor Kevin ross Emery, the host 2 00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:11.119 of the Doctor Kevin Radio Show. We'll be taking you outside the box, 3 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:16.239 behind the curtain and identifying the load of bs we are fed every day. 4 00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:25.320 And now Doctor Kevin, Hello, Hello, Hello, and welcome to the 5 00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:34.320 Doctor Kevin Show here on Home Time where we're daving the world for it one 6 00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:40.240 oh not a time. So this is the first Thursday of the month, 7 00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.200 and I would like I always said, and like every first Thursday of the 8 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:50.439 month we have our returning co host, but we've missed the last couple of 9 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:54.679 months Thursdays, so I can't say every first Thursday of the month, but 10 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.320 most Thursdays of the month, first Thursday of the month, we are joined 11 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:03.319 by a dapper young man knowing him as Matt Connerton. Matt Connerton has his 12 00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:11.120 own Monday through Friday drivetime show on WMNHU and you can listen to it if 13 00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:17.159 you're not in the Manchester, New Hampshire areasten to it on mat conton dot 14 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:23.120 com or ipmnation dot com where you know it used to be where he spent 15 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:29.920 a lot of time carrying apart to politics of the Day claims to be neither 16 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.480 a liberal or a conservative, but one of those you know in between. 17 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.480 Can't make up his mind people. But I think he swayed a little over 18 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:44.640 the years and he now has really last time I talk to him, has 19 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:49.519 blown a show out and it's probably half politics and half music. Is that 20 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.359 fair, Matt? Is that what's still going on there on Matt Connerton Unleashed? 21 00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.400 So probably more like maybe two thirds still politics and a third music, 22 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:07.120 a lot more music than we used to do. Yeah, okay, well 23 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:08.639 that's good. So like we used to have, we used to have in 24 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:13.800 studio musical guests maybe two or three times a month. Now it's more like 25 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:20.560 two or three times a week. So and it's a two hour show, 26 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.560 so you have ten hours of airtime every week to fill. So yeah, 27 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:30.520 that's good. No, it's been it's been really successful with the increase in 28 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.439 the musical guests. The feedback across the board has just been incredible. People 29 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.280 are really digging it. It's a good balance and it's it's good for me. 30 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.360 It's good for my mental health. I love politics, but the music 31 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.639 is like a because when we have musical guests, it's always in the second 32 00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:50.960 hour's that's like a palette cleanser, you know. Yeah, you gotta get 33 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.039 to con do something to to wash that horrible taste out of your mouth of 34 00:02:54.120 --> 00:03:01.199 talking about politics for an hour. Yeah. So now I just want to 35 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:05.240 remind our listeners this is a live call in show, so is Matt and 36 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.639 I kind of dig into the cycles of what's been going on over the last 37 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:13.080 two or three months, Matt, because we have antarg for a while and 38 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:17.000 I'd like to get your view on a few different things as our local as 39 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:23.599 our local political expert. But it is a live call in show, So 40 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:27.960 you can call in at two two five seven seven five seven two O two 41 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:32.479 five seven h seven O five seven and you're gonna ask Matt or I any 42 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:38.120 conversations or questions you'd like. We just ask that you make them respectful, 43 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:40.199 because if you're not respectful, that's why we have the hang out. Putton, 44 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:47.840 So met you. First of all, how are you doing? You're 45 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:52.840 talked about mental health and you've been very open on your social media pages that 46 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.719 you struggle at times. How are you doing these days? I do it 47 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:02.240 okay, Summers summer is her time for me. I think the I think 48 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.719 the increase in sunlight is helpful to me. And and also I like the 49 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:13.000 warm weather. I'm not particularly bothered by heat. A dry heats always better, 50 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.879 but I can handle humidity pretty well, although Jenny keeps it nice and 51 00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:20.519 cool in the apartment. She likes to run the air conditioning. But yeah, 52 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:25.480 so you know, doing okay, you know, staying busy this week. 53 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:30.160 I'm actually so normally I'm calling you from the radio station right after I 54 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:31.959 get off the air, but this week we're on our summer break. It's 55 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.560 only for a week, so we're just running best of this week. So 56 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:41.519 I'm actually I'm actually calling you from a parking lot because I was on my 57 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:47.120 way back from seeing a client, hypnotherapy client and running a little late coming 58 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.600 back, so I was like, oh'll just pull into this target and call 59 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:55.439 into the show from here. So I'm actually in the parking lot of Target 60 00:04:55.480 --> 00:05:00.360 in Hooks at New Hampshire right now talking to you. Oh okay, Well, 61 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.519 and I guess that makes sense that you just finished with a hypnotherapist client, 62 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:10.000 because you know, isn't there like a target involved in hypnotherapy that you're 63 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.480 supposed to try to hit her something that's kind of a tortured analogy. But 64 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:20.279 I suppose sure, but yes I should mention too if I can just give 65 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:27.399 myself a shameless plug. We've installed a brand new booking system and I'm sorry 66 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.120 oops at Matt Connerton dot com for booking sessions with me. You know, 67 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.079 I do them virtually, or if you're within thirty minutes of Manchester, New 68 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.399 Hampshire, I will go to you. And we also, oh, this 69 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:43.639 is something new too, doctor Kevin, because it has been a couple of 70 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:47.360 months since we've talked on the show. I'm also now doing sessions at Birchwood 71 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:53.720 Salon in Hooks at New Hampshire, which is a wonderful place, so there's 72 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.040 some options there. But we've we've got a whole new booking system up at 73 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.360 Matt Conterton dot com and it works us endedly and it's very very user friendly. 74 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.920 So but I know you have listeners, you know, probably all over 75 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:10.240 the world, so wherever you are, you know. One one of the 76 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:14.399 few good things about the pandemic, because we have to find these silver linings 77 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:19.920 where we can, is people got used to doing things like therapy and doctor 78 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.079 visits and hypnotherapy. In my case, people got used to doing that virtually 79 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:30.000 online using platforms like doxy dot Me for example. And you yeah, I 80 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.240 mean you probably see a lot of clients online, I would imagine, don't 81 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:40.439 you. Well I I have, I have for quite a while, even 82 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:46.160 pre pandemic. Yeah, a lot of phone clients. And it's really interesting. 83 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.319 Go ahead. So I was just gonna say, that's what that's what 84 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:58.040 I thought. Yeah, I do a lot of phone clients. I've always 85 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:03.279 done. I mean, I mean, there was there was a time back 86 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:09.319 in the early nineties and then again in the early two thousands where I had 87 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:14.680 a physical location and a center and people did work out of it and people 88 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:23.720 I remember see me. Yeah. But and then I did another center in 89 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.600 the late nineties early two thousands, So I mean I've had centers a few 90 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:31.560 times through the years, but right now, I mean, in the pandemic 91 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:41.040 just really just really put it into perspective for me. You know, if 92 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:45.079 I need a place to that I want to teach a class, there's plenty 93 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.279 of places I can rent space or people that will host me. And I 94 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:53.800 frankly don't want all that overhead, right, you know, And I don't 95 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.399 want to have to worry about having to get other people in to help off 96 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.439 set the costs and been at one point, I was so busy and I 97 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.519 had two spaces. I had one Imports with New Hampshire one in Portland, 98 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:11.399 Maine, and you know, and I was going back and forth, and 99 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.560 I always had full days at both of them. But yeah, you know, 100 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:20.399 then I needed to find somebody to take my spaces on the days I 101 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.600 weren't in that location or they were just sitting empty, right, So you 102 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.439 know, it is kind of a new way. I mean, this way 103 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.279 of doing business. I don't do a lot of it on the internet. 104 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:37.279 I do a lot of it on the phone, okay. And occasionally some 105 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.440 people will say to me, you know, I'd like to be like, 106 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.600 well, could we do a zoom? And I'm like, we can do 107 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.000 a zoom. I prefer to do phone because I move around a lot. 108 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:54.159 If I'm not sitting in yeah, so I'm not sitting with you and connected 109 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.879 with your energy in the same room that I tend to be up and around 110 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.600 and I'm moving a lot. And as you know, I mean I've said 111 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.480 before, you know, on a busy client day, I might walk eight 112 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:11.360 or ten miles. I'm just not walking in the woods. Interesting. I 113 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.480 wouldn't have thought of that. Yeah. Yeah, so I just like I'm 114 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.159 walking right now. I walk. I usually am walking when we do the 115 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.039 show. It's a great way to have the energy flow and you know where 116 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:30.039 because one of my area's specialty is ADD and ADHD about all the other stuff. 117 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.799 A lot of my ADD clients really get that, and they're sometimes walking 118 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.039 on the other end of the phone while I'm working with them, right, 119 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:45.039 They're like, this works for me. So no, no, that makes 120 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:50.240 sense. Yeah. And of course the other thing is is because I have 121 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:56.759 clients all over the US and in Europe, and so of course they're not 122 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.360 you know, they're not going to be buying in from the UK or or 123 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:07.159 France or Switzerland to do an in person office appointment with me, right, 124 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.759 so yeah, yeah, so yeah, that all kind of works a good. 125 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:18.240 I'm glad that that that that's working on your system, because it feels 126 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:24.240 like there was a while there, will you the hypnotherapy kind of took a 127 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:31.639 back seat to the to the to the Matt Connerton radio persona um, and 128 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.279 I'm glad that you're bringing more of bringing that back up in a more viable 129 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.360 way. I think it's a good balance for you, oh, thank you, 130 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.360 thank you. Well. It's also more lucrative. It's you know, 131 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.080 radio unless you're you know, I think Howard Stern took all the money and 132 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.799 there's none left over, so you know, you know what I mean, 133 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.840 there's there's always the financial concerns. But no, I love all of it 134 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.519 though I'm fortunate and that I love. You know, I love radio. 135 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.639 I love doing hypnotherapy. I you know, it's all it's it's all good, 136 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.840 so well, and sometimes the two mix. You know, sometimes I 137 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.159 have clients I meet in the music industry who want to quit smoking or want 138 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.159 to be just more confident on stage or whatever it is. You know, 139 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.879 there's a lot of crossover, which is nice. But I don't go out 140 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:22.559 in the woods. So I do it all. Uh, I do it 141 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.159 all online. I don't go into the woods. There's a deer ticks, 142 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:30.679 there's uh mountain lions. I think the Blair witches out in the woods. 143 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:37.799 That's frightening to me. So no, I stay safe and sound. Yeah, 144 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:43.639 you know, is you're gonna live a life in fear? Why bother? 145 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.600 Yeah, I appreciate. I mean, I try not to make too 146 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.720 many stupid decisions. But I'm also kind of I'm also kind of sort of 147 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.159 like, look, I have said for a long time, and I know 148 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.320 you've heard me say this, but I haven't said it to you for a 149 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.000 while. If I have a gravestone, which I don't even know if I 150 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.000 want one, but if I do have a gravestone on my gravestone, I 151 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:16.159 wanted to be I wanted to say he died living. Yeah, that's it. 152 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:26.159 He died living. Yeah, I've said, because dementia runs in my 153 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:31.559 family. Oh you know, and I and I see my eighty seven year 154 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.559 old mother, who is you know, on the one way track in a 155 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:43.559 nursing home in memory care, and you know, sometimes she still remembers me 156 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.480 sometimes and sometimes she doesn't remember me at all, And you know, and 157 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.639 her father would through it, and her sisters went through it. She had 158 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:56.320 two of her sisters that went through it. And she said to me before 159 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:03.000 she ended up going in before, you know, everything really got triggered when 160 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.120 my stepdad, who was her husband for fifty years, died, and then 161 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.759 that I mean, she was she was already showing the signs, but he 162 00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.200 was kind of hiding it from us. He wasn't coming to us know that. 163 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.080 He was kind of just covering for her. And they lived in Florida 164 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.120 and we only saw them, you know, we talked to him on the 165 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.840 phone and you know, and stuff like that is but one of the time 166 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.159 before he died, I was down there. We drove by a memory care 167 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:31.600 unit and like a memory care specialty home doown. I mean, they're they're 168 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:37.559 all over Florida. I think it's one of the reasons why the political situation 169 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.960 got so bad. Whose they can't remember that Jackass moved that the Santas made 170 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:48.679 last week, so they vote for him again. But anyways, but she 171 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.360 pointed it out to me and she said, you know, that's where I'm 172 00:13:52.360 --> 00:14:00.200 headed. And I said, okay, And she goes, when I no 173 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:05.039 longer know who you are, I don't want you to come back. Oh 174 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:11.519 wow, because she yeah, I mean, she had that experience of you 175 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.159 know, she was in her early thirties and she was the baby of the 176 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.480 family, and she was daddy's little girl, you know, like the spoiled 177 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:24.679 last child, and she was in her early thirties when he stopped knowing who 178 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:30.519 she was. I don't think she ever recovered from it. And then the 179 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:35.080 same thing happened to two of her sisters. So she was like, Yep, 180 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.559 when I no longer know who you are, don't come back. M 181 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.000 you know, just make sure I'm taken care of. And I was like, 182 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:50.639 okay, but you know, she still has moments, so I still 183 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.200 go but yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, but I kind of 184 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.120 I keep that in mind. So I always say, if it's clear that 185 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:03.440 I'm that I'm following my mother's family and not my father's family on this issue, 186 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.120 I said, you get me to the point where I can know that 187 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.000 it's the mind's going away and it's not going to come back. I'm like, 188 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:16.360 it's a ball of champagne and skydiving. Those straps are cut when I 189 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:24.320 jump right. Yeah, I want to pop a bottle, be drinking champagne 190 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.919 and be splattened and have it all done. I have no fear of death. 191 00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:33.879 I have no fear of where I'm going. I don't have any deviant, 192 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.360 perverted god that wants to punish me with an eternity of roasting my marshmallows. 193 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:54.320 Yea, all that shit that you can have it. Yeah, I've 194 00:15:54.320 --> 00:16:06.600 been having lots of what they called a coming home to Jesus. Meeting about 195 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:11.399 religious nutcases on the shows a lot lately. Oh yeah, yeah, it's 196 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:22.360 like the disgusting amount of indoctrination that happens with these nut case religions, not 197 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.720 the not the middle of the road. Hey, that's your way to God. 198 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.440 Great, you go on it, honey, it's your path you live 199 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:37.360 in. The nutcases? Yeah, who twist everything around cherry pick what they 200 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:42.440 want to do. Oh yeah, you know you used to You remember when 201 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:48.399 I used to call them. There were the Bible bullies. Yeah, christ 202 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:51.120 got off the cross, they broke it into four equal pieces of wood, 203 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:56.120 used him as chats to beat people with. Yeah, and I've just had 204 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.120 it. I mean, I'm watching these people take power and it's scary. 205 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.359 Last time I saw and you can verify this, All of these book bannings 206 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:11.839 going on generated out of eleven people who created packets of exactly how to go 207 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:17.640 into your school and get these books bans. Yeah. And then they work 208 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:25.519 through through fascist groups like Christian Nationalism, fascist group. It's not Christian, 209 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:32.400 Mom's for liberty, fascist group, not Fastian, Okay, And I'm not 210 00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:36.359 Christian. I'm proud of the fact. Oh dear God, don't give me 211 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:40.720 that disease. I have enough challenges in this life that I'm about getting Christianity. 212 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:48.680 I just it's remarkable to me. I remember being a kid and uh, 213 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:53.160 you know, in the eighties seeing news stories about book bannings and at 214 00:17:53.240 --> 00:18:00.160 that time thinking wow, this sounds like something from another time, like from 215 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:04.400 the fifties or something. This is happening now. And I was thinking that 216 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:10.559 then, and now here it is twenty twenty three and they're banning books. 217 00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:15.839 It's wild. It's just incredible. Yeah. Yeah, but I think every 218 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.039 opportunity I can to call them off for what they are. In fact, 219 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:23.759 my thing is, I really, you know, the Christians made this mess. 220 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:27.039 They should frank and clean it up themselves. It should be it. 221 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:33.279 There should be a Christian in action group of all Christians that are true Christians 222 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.039 living a Christian life that's their belief system, that are tired of having their 223 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:47.359 Christ perverted and made as the ultimate bully and bad guy. And they're the 224 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:49.079 ones that need to get it in front of all of these fundamental faith and 225 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:52.799 say hey, back off. They should be marching in front of the drag 226 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:57.920 boards to say leave them alone. You're not being very Christian. I think 227 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:03.480 that you Christians made this mess. You need to clean these nut cases up 228 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:08.400 and get them back in line. Yeah. Well, my belief about organized 229 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:12.200 religion is that it's it's generally it has very little, uh to do with 230 00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:18.079 God and much more to do with politics. Um unfortunately. Uh. And 231 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.079 that's what people use it because that's what people use it for. They use 232 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:25.960 it for politics. Um, they don't use it. Uh, you know, 233 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.599 they don't use it for God. So um. And it's uh And 234 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.119 I think it's always been that way. I had that pretty you know, 235 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:34.559 figured out from a pretty young age, you know, like I know my 236 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:37.519 dad would you know, I was Rae's Catholic, and I know my dad's 237 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.599 frustrated with me. He would like me to go back to the church and 238 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:42.240 whatnot. I probably told him, I said, you know, to me, 239 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:47.359 organized religion, it's not about God, it's about politics. And uh. 240 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:49.720 Well and I don't agree. I don't agree with the politics that are 241 00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:59.000 being presented by organized religions. So so, and that's an interesting thing math 242 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:03.279 because I would say it's about politics slash power, because there's a lot of 243 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.519 ways to have power outside of politics, and church uses all of them. 244 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:17.640 Shame humiliation, Um, you know discrimination, you know, people people protecting 245 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:23.920 or doing things. And it's so funny because some of the most racist things 246 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:29.960 that go on go on, Well, one good buddy Christian you know, 247 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:37.359 screws over a a bypoc um you know, black or person of color, 248 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:44.160 which is like they really that means they're all people of color. But anyways, 249 00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.359 um, you know, being a good Christian to another good Christian buddy 250 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:55.119 and justifying the screwing over the BIPOC person or family is okay because they're supporting 251 00:20:55.160 --> 00:21:00.079 their good Christian brother. It's just it's just it's nauseating and I'm going to 252 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.920 call it out till the day I die, which is either a cranky old 253 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.079 man or they'll lock me off next week and you know, be over with. 254 00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:14.839 But anyways, so let's let's shift to why we have you on this 255 00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:17.119 show. I mean I have you on the show because I enjoy talking to 256 00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:18.240 you, and I enjoy the ways that you look and see the world, 257 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:26.519 even when they're wrong. But what's been the hot topics for you these days? 258 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.440 And I always like to hear what you think that people are not paying 259 00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.720 attention to as well. So at some point, what you think is a 260 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.359 big story that no one's paying attention to. I'd definitely like you to address. 261 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:41.960 But what's the general what's the general shakedown these days? What are your 262 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:48.000 things happening? Oh, I don't know. It's there's always so much. 263 00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.559 There's always so much. It's hard to pick something. Like sometimes on my 264 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.559 show, there's always so much. It's hard to pick something. Sometimes I 265 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.960 just leave it to the audience. I intro the show and see what happens 266 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:04.799 in the chat room, see what that first caller decides to uh to say 267 00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:10.640 and uh and then we uh we go from there. It's it's pretty spontaneous. 268 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:12.759 It's um. I mean, there's always so much. There's you know, 269 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:18.880 Trump's never ending legal problems. There's uh, you know, the war 270 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.240 on trans people that seems to be going on in this country, speaking of 271 00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:26.240 you know, people using religion for politics. There's uh uh you know, 272 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:33.920 uh concerns about Biden as a candidate for reelection, and you know, cocaine 273 00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:38.799 in the White House. Although that I was already on summer break when that 274 00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:44.079 story broke. But you know, I mean, there's there's always so much. 275 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:48.240 I mean, it's hard to pick something if you want to fire something 276 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.480 at me. I'll tell you what I think. I can't even pick something. 277 00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:57.720 There's so much, Okay, So first of all, before I throw 278 00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:03.160 something at you, I do want to put two things out. One is 279 00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:11.039 this is where I do like to point out that the religion that I'm involved 280 00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:19.799 with, which is an organized religion, is based on the principles Unitarian Universalism 281 00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:23.279 been around two thousand years in some form or another. I mean it goes 282 00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:27.519 way back, but that they have principles about how to treat people and how 283 00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:30.160 to treat the world, and how to be in the world. And you 284 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:34.400 can belong to that religion and be a Christian, you can be a Muslim, 285 00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:38.519 you can be a Buddhist, you can be Jewish, you can be 286 00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:41.160 an agnostic, you can be an atheist, you can be a humanist. 287 00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:48.640 It's we agree that these are the principles that one should be living their life 288 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.480 in the world. And so I just always like to point that out to 289 00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.839 people. Because God has, you know, spiritual abuse. People are just 290 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:03.000 starting to recognize how intense and for how long spiritual abuse has not only been 291 00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:10.279 tolerated, but has been put up as an example of the good and godly 292 00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:15.880 way to do things you know, you know, and so I think that 293 00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:21.799 we're going to see I hope, I hope, for the good of humanity, 294 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:27.160 we see some of these these religions that have no that do not live 295 00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:32.279 any of the principles they expose in actions. I want to see them collapse. 296 00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:34.519 I want to see them fall in on themselves. I want to see 297 00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:38.400 the people turn around and go, I've decided not to be stupid anymore, 298 00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:45.279 and turn around and walk away. Because everything you say disagrees with everything you 299 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:49.000 say you believe. And so if we could get all of the hypocrite churches 300 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:53.359 out of the way, you know, it wouldn't be quite so bad. 301 00:24:53.920 --> 00:25:00.480 So I wanted to share that. Yeah, the other thing is on the 302 00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.599 first Thursday of the month, when you're doing your Thursday's show, drop a 303 00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:06.599 hint that people can tune in and call in here if they didn't get to 304 00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:10.200 call in your show. I'd love to have more call ins. We get 305 00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:14.279 them occasionally here, but I do whatever I can to try to get people 306 00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:17.519 to call in, and I love to have callins. But I don't know 307 00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:19.799 what it is. We just you know, I know we have people listening. 308 00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:22.720 You know what I you know, I always say on my show, 309 00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.400 because I do I do, I do do that on you know, when 310 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.640 when it's that time, I always I do promote that I'm gonna be on. 311 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:34.079 But I always tell people if you if you're a listener of mine and 312 00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:37.960 you get to the end of my show and you say to yourself, oh 313 00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:42.359 my god, I need more Matt Connerton, there's a way you can get 314 00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:45.319 it, but you have to be willing to share me with doctor Kevin for 315 00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:51.240 an hour and then I tell them how they can find the show. Well, 316 00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:53.279 I thank you for that, and I just would do wish I could 317 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:56.000 steal some of your call ins. I'd return them the next morning, I 318 00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:02.920 promise, yes, yes, So the first thing I want to do is 319 00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:06.839 always we have to we you know, we have to talk about the big 320 00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:11.279 circus. It's in town. Where are you thinking where all of the Trump 321 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:17.960 stuff is? Walter Malta today pleaded not guilty to the fact that they caught 322 00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:22.319 him on camera moving the boxes to hide them before the search came for the 323 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.799 lawyer came to get the things. Kind of sort of incriminating evidence. But 324 00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:32.440 anyways, so, where where are you standing on all of the Trump stuff 325 00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:36.480 at this point, What do you think, how is that going to unfold? 326 00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:40.400 What is your best guest? Well, I still think he's going to 327 00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:45.079 be the nominee no matter what. The more illegal problems that pile up, 328 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:51.160 the more money he raises, the more devout his followers become, the more 329 00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:56.200 they become convinced that it's all just you know, the deep state and the 330 00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:00.440 Democrats and the blood drinkers out to get him. And uh so he'll he'll 331 00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:04.680 be the nominee. I even if he ends up in jail, He'll still 332 00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:11.960 be the nominee no matter what. Sou We'll we'll see. I mean, 333 00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.839 I also don't know. I mean this case about the documents, I don't 334 00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:19.839 know if that's going to happen, if that's even I know that Judge Eileen 335 00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:25.839 Cannon set a trial date of August, but obviously that don't get pushed back. 336 00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:30.039 There will be delays and continuances, and there's a lot of questions about 337 00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:33.720 whether she can be trusted to be impartial to begin with. So um, 338 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:41.480 we'll see. I mean, I'm I perceived through life just generally skeptical when 339 00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:45.119 it comes to the wealthy and powerful and the elite. And I know his 340 00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:49.039 supporters like to pretend that he's not a member of the elite, which of 341 00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:52.039 course he is. He's a billionaire. You don't get much more elite than 342 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:56.480 Trump, right, than a billionaire. I you know, we have a 343 00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:02.240 system in this country that generally doesn't like to hold the elite accountable for what 344 00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:07.559 they do. So I'm always skeptical that, you know, when it seems 345 00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:10.119 like, oh, this time, this time, they're really gonna get him. 346 00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:12.559 They're definitely gonna get him this time. I mean, it sure looks 347 00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:17.519 like it, you know, because he's got so much going against him legally. 348 00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:19.880 It really does look like this time he's going to pay some sort of 349 00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:26.119 a price. But but I'll believe it when I see it. But but 350 00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:32.079 the sick thing is because he's convinced his supporters, whom you know, he 351 00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:34.920 could tell them the sky is green, and they'd all go outside and look 352 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:37.759 up and they'd go, oh wow, I can't believe I never noticed it 353 00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:42.960 before. It is green. Um, you know, it's it's actually good 354 00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:47.920 for him. I mean, Maggie Aberman has been reporting that, you know, 355 00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:52.119 from her sources, Trump is stressed out. He's worried about you know, 356 00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:56.400 nobody likes to be criminally indicted for things. But but it's also good 357 00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:00.680 news for him because these indictments they bring in money. They they get that 358 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.839 gravy trained rolling. By the way, he's a billionaire. I don't know 359 00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.799 why he needs all this money, but apparently he does. And uh, 360 00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:12.400 and it works, you know. It's it's a very unique approach to a 361 00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:17.400 political campaign, and he's probably the only one who could pull it off. 362 00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:19.240 But yeah, the worst it goes for him legally, the better it is 363 00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:25.680 for him in terms of phrasing money. So he kind of can't lose in 364 00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:27.599 that respect. I mean, don't get me wrong. It makes him a 365 00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:32.759 horrendous general election candidate, but it makes him a phenomenal nominee. I mean, 366 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:33.920 you know, I'm more convinced than ever. And by the way, 367 00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:38.240 the polling data shows that he actually is more popular within the Republican Party as 368 00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:44.160 these indictments pile up. So so he'll definitely be the nominee. I don't 369 00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:47.319 think he'll win the election, but we certainly hope not, but he'll be 370 00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:52.599 the nominee. Well, you know, he cannot win an election without some 371 00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:57.920 moderates and if nothing, now, all of this I think we'll lose him 372 00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:06.160 those moderate Yeah, independent.

That's videos right, Matt. I'm not a 411 00:33:52.680 --> 00:34:01.000 magic I'm not a magician at Okay. So the Trump train moves on. 412 00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:07.840 You think he's still gonna be up in general election. Christie is taking some 413 00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:13.599 big pot shots at him, but got gotten a few points from direct right 414 00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:21.119 directly attacking him, um and calling him out on his crap. And Santos 415 00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.440 seems to be kind of like a fish out of water, flopping all over 416 00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:30.280 the places, making big mistakes asn't he? I think people are beginning to 417 00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:35.280 view Ronda Santis as a psychopath, which would make sense because I believe he 418 00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:39.000 is a psychopath. Um. I I I understand he's trying to appeal to 419 00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:45.079 the you know, the hate, the really hateful part of the Republican Party. 420 00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:47.840 But I think he's I think he's gone so overboard with it that even, 421 00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:53.199 you know, even even the people who really hate trans people are kind 422 00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:57.679 of like, yeah, okay, we hate trans people, but jeez, 423 00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:00.440 to dial it back a little bit, U you know. I think he 424 00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:05.199 just I think he may have overplayed his hand. Chris Christie has been a 425 00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:09.639 lot of fun to watch, though I don't trust Chris Christie because I've never 426 00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:15.519 believed that he didn't know anything about what was going on with Bridgegate. So 427 00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:17.199 I think he's lying about that. I think he's always been lying about that. 428 00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:22.920 I absolutely believe he knew. But I have to admit there's I've always 429 00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:25.559 kind of liked the guy a little bit. Sometimes when he talks, I 430 00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:30.760 like to pretend he's a Sopranos character just for fun and uh, and I 431 00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:34.599 like the way, I mean, obviously, of anybody in the Republican field, 432 00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:38.480 he's been the most aggressive in terms of attacking Trump, and I do 433 00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:45.559 enjoy that. And Eric Pilcher, who is I call him my favorite conservatives. 434 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:50.679 He's a part of my show. We do a regular segment on Wednesdays, 435 00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:52.760 and he also does the classic film reviews on my show too. He 436 00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:59.840 is actually endorsed. And again Eric's an evangelical conservative, but he has endorsed 437 00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:07.719 a moderate northeastern former governor Chris Christie, for for the Republican nomination, to 438 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:12.800 the consternation of many of his peers. In Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He 439 00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:16.639 has endorsed Chris Christie. So um, so he's he's kind of fun to 440 00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:22.360 watch, but but yeah, I think the Santis is just uh, you 441 00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:28.800 know, he's he just seems like a lunatic. Like the thing about the 442 00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:32.719 Santas. You know, usually in politics you try to bring people in, 443 00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:37.159 right, you know, you've got your core base who's already with you, 444 00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:38.480 but then you try to bring more people in. You know, you want 445 00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:42.199 to have as here in this phrase big tent, want to have a big 446 00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:45.119 tent party. But the Santis, I feel like he wants to keep his 447 00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:52.320 base small, you know, like like he he actually if you're anything approaching 448 00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:57.280 what he calls woke whatever that's supposed to mean exactly. He actually doesn't want 449 00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:00.559 you. He doesn't want your vote. He hates you, and he'll tell 450 00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:05.000 you he hates you. I mean, I've never seen anything quite like it. 451 00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:09.920 And I think it's backfiring and backfiring on him because as much as you 452 00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:15.119 know, obviously some Republicans like that kind of thing, I think they recognize 453 00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:20.760 he will be a disastrous general election candidate if he's a nominee. How's that 454 00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:24.400 guy going to appeal We're going to appeal to moderates and independence, you know, 455 00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:36.960 yep. So where would you lay your money on the odds that you're 456 00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:42.639 even going to have a Republican debate, because oh well that is never gonna 457 00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:50.559 Trump is never gonna sign the agreement that says he'll back whoever is chosen. 458 00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:54.360 Yeah, you're you're gonna have Republican debates. I think the first one is 459 00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:58.719 in August, but Trump won't be there. And and Trump, I mean, 460 00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:01.639 I agree with him on this. He says he sees no reason to 461 00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:06.760 be there, and I think he's right. Um, when you're that far 462 00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:12.440 ahead in the polls and you look pretty untouchable, I refer to him on 463 00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:17.239 my show as the presumptive presumptive nominee. Um, when you're that far ahead, 464 00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:20.440 there's just no reason. I mean, he said it. He said 465 00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:22.719 it to Uh. Who was it? Uh? Really who was interviewing him? 466 00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:25.719 Now? Oh? I think it was Brett Bear. He said, 467 00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:28.920 yeah, I mean, why should I? Why should I debate? And 468 00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:31.360 I think he's right about that. He has he has nothing to gain from 469 00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:36.840 it. So so there will be Republican debates. He just won't be a 470 00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:39.840 part of them. And if he's not a part of them, did they 471 00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:46.840 really count? I mean what? Well? I think they will be an 472 00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:54.519 opportunity for prospective vice presidential candidates to kind of show theirself a little bit. 473 00:38:54.679 --> 00:39:00.960 Like the Senator Tim Scott, for example, I've said regarding his candidacy on 474 00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:05.280 my show, I've said from the beginning, he's not running for president, 475 00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:09.239 he's running for vice president. He knows he's not going to be the Republican 476 00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:14.480 nominee. He's not an idiot, but he knows he does have a shot 477 00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:19.280 at being the VEEP. So he's going to continue to avoid criticizing Trump directly. 478 00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:24.000 And uh and and he might get picked for VP. So so that 479 00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:28.719 that's another reason to run. Uh. Nicky Hayley, she's actually been a 480 00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:31.119 little bit critical of Trump, so she might not be playing that game obviously. 481 00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:34.760 Chris Christ he knows he's not going to be veep, and neither is 482 00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:39.000 Asa Hutchinson, and neither is uh. Um Who's Who's who else? Was 483 00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:45.679 I run the Santas well? This? Yeah, probably not de Santas, 484 00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:47.639 although I don't know who knows what goes on in his head, but I 485 00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:52.760 think I think Tim Scott definitely is running to be beep. I think what's 486 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:55.920 his name? I forgot his name now? The mayor of uh is in 487 00:39:57.000 --> 00:40:00.880 Miami. Who's running? I think he might be running for viet you know. 488 00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:06.280 Again, he doesn't want to criticize Trump directly. Um. Oh, 489 00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:08.159 Mike Pence was the other one I was seeing. Mike Pence obviously knows he's 490 00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:13.960 not going to be Trump's to veep again, nor will he be the nominee. 491 00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:15.400 I think Mike Pence has a book to sell, you know. I 492 00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:19.400 mean, there's other reasons to run for president other than wanting to be president. 493 00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:22.039 Maybe you want to be vice president, Maybe you have a book to 494 00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:28.440 sell, Maybe you just want to raise your profile for when you run in 495 00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:31.239 four years when Trump is out of the way, you know, there's there's 496 00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:37.280 plenty of other reasons to run. But Tim, Tim Scott, I think 497 00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:43.960 is a particular example of someone who clearly is running for the vice presidency. 498 00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:55.599 So now so the Santos will be on the stage, pencil on the stage, 499 00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:00.760 Everybody's going to be there, and and Trump is going to sit there 500 00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:06.760 and ridicule them all when it's done. Yeah, I mean he's skipped. 501 00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:13.559 Uh, he's skipped debates before. In twenty sixteen, he skipped one of 502 00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:17.400 at least one of the Republican debates. And in twenty twenty if you remember, 503 00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:23.199 um, we we always get three presidential debates, but we only got 504 00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:28.079 two in twenty twenty because Trump backed out of one of them because he wouldn't 505 00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:31.360 agree to the rules or something uh for the second debate, so he just 506 00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:37.519 backed out and held a rally instead. Um, so you know, he's 507 00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:40.920 he's not afraid to skip them if he sees he has nothing to lose by 508 00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:54.079 skipping them. So Biden, what's going on with Biden? Joe? Oh, 509 00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:55.760 go ahead. First of all, I want to say, there's only 510 00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:00.800 two years difference between Biden and Trump. So how Biden can be too old 511 00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:06.239 and Trump cannot be too old is just you know that crazy thinking. Go 512 00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:10.960 ahead. Biden, in my view, is selfish. Joe Biden should not 513 00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:17.559 be running for a second term. He should. There are other Gavin Newsom 514 00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:21.599 I think would be a fantastic candidate, for example, And he turned a 515 00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:25.119 lot of heads in that interview where he was on with Hannity on Fox. 516 00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:30.599 People are really looking at Gavin Newsom Biden. Now, part of it is 517 00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:36.320 my own. I have a kind of a unique perspective on Biden. This 518 00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:38.960 is how I look at him. I wanted Joe Biden to be president because 519 00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:43.039 we were in the throes of a terrible pandemic and we needed somebody who would 520 00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:47.840 be serious and consistent about it, which and would be determined to do what 521 00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:52.599 had to be done, getting vaccines distributed and so forth, and and would 522 00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:54.440 be consistent in messaging. And we weren't getting that from Trump. But I 523 00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:58.639 knew we'd get it from Biden, and we did. So. The number 524 00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:01.880 one most important thing that I wanted out of Joe Biden, I got it. 525 00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:07.639 We got it great. And there's other things too. There are some 526 00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:09.920 things I would critique. There are some things I think I would give him 527 00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:16.320 great credit for. But but that's but no, he should not be running 528 00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:21.519 for a second term, and him running for a second term if if he 529 00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:28.199 you know, if there's more incidents of him falling down on stage or confusing 530 00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:31.159 you know, you were talking about dementia earlier, or you know, confusing 531 00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:36.440 Ukraine with Iraq when he's making comments, or what I mean, some of 532 00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:40.119 it, it's hard to know. He's always been gaff prone. That's part 533 00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:45.559 of that is just Biden being Biden. But you know, sometimes he seems 534 00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:50.760 I mean, to some extent its as a matter of energy. Sometimes he 535 00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:54.880 seems really energetic and lucid and with it and and you wouldn't guess he was 536 00:43:54.920 --> 00:44:00.239 eighty years old. And other times he seems like he needs an app I 537 00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:07.920 think that I think he's a terrible candidate for a second term. And polling 538 00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:16.000 data shows most registered Democrats agree. And there's also polling data that shows seventy 539 00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:22.679 percent of the country across the political spectrum, seventy percent of the country doesn't 540 00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:30.639 want either Biden or Trump in the twenty twenty election. So President Biden, 541 00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:36.599 I think, oh, twenty twenty four. That's what I meant. Yeah, 542 00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:39.719 sorry, So, uh, President Biden, thank you for getting us 543 00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:45.159 through the pandemic. Fantastic job, and I mean that sincerely and uh and 544 00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:50.800 doing some other good things and uh, you know. And I think he 545 00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:52.360 deserves a lot of credit, by the way, for his handling of the 546 00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:59.920 situation with Ukraine, that balancing act of supporting Ukraine, getting Ukraine the mut 547 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.760 missions they need to continue to try to fend off Russia and giving them a 548 00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:09.159 really shot at really a real shot at success without going too far and getting 549 00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:15.199 us into a nuclear war. That's a very difficult tight rope and he's walking 550 00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:20.199 it and we haven't gotten into a nuclear war. And so I give him 551 00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:23.119 great credit for that. So I don't want to sound like I'm just dumping 552 00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:30.280 on Biden, but he should not be running for a second term. And 553 00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:32.840 that's my view, and I think he's selfish to do so, and I 554 00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:38.559 think he should put the country first and step aside and let somebody else have 555 00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:44.400 a crack at it, because if if if Trump ends up eating Biden, 556 00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:51.880 well I've only I mean, I understand people assume Biden beat Trump once, 557 00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:55.079 he can do it again, but all it's gonna take is for something to 558 00:45:55.119 --> 00:46:00.280 happen with Biden that really gets people nervous, you know, maybe a string 559 00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:07.880 of incidents where he's falling down or he's confusing things or whatever, and people 560 00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:12.880 are gonna really get worried. And Trump, for all his faults, he 561 00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:15.880 doesn't show any signs of physical frailty that I can see. And he doesn't 562 00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:23.519 show any signs that he's any less competent than he was in twenty twenty, 563 00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:27.800 right, I mean, you know, to the extent that he was competent 564 00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:32.360 to begin with, you know what I mean. So I'm worried. I'm 565 00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:38.039 worried that Biden's presence could actually throw the election into Trump, and it's time 566 00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:43.719 for somebody younger and more energetic to get in there, in my view. 567 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:53.639 And unfortunately, I don't see Harris being a winning candidates. No, there's 568 00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:59.880 a lot of antipathy toward her. Some of it I think is not fair 569 00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:04.880 her. Some of it I do understand. She's got a weird habit of 570 00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:10.199 laughing in very strange moments where it's like, what is she doing that doesn't 571 00:47:10.280 --> 00:47:15.920 make sense? And there's been a couple of those, and sometimes that's Unfortunately, 572 00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:20.400 the way people the way people's memories work, and the way they think 573 00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:22.880 about these things, it only takes a couple of incidents like that to cement 574 00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:27.119 an impression in people's minds that that's how she is all the time, which 575 00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:35.159 is unfair. But yeah, there's a lot of antipathy toward her. Again, 576 00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:37.599 a lot of it I think is oversated and overblown and by the way 577 00:47:37.639 --> 00:47:43.119 that there is, though, there is time for her to rebound from that. 578 00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:47.320 I mean, she is the logical choice, being the current vice president. 579 00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:52.719 But but I think Gavin Newsom would be a phenomenal general election candidate. 580 00:47:52.800 --> 00:48:02.639 I really do. Well, yeah, I mean, and he's doing very 581 00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:10.719 quiet things which are positioning him to step in that position. If Biden says 582 00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:16.599 I've decided not to run, well, I don't think that's going to happen. 583 00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:20.039 I don't think, I mean, I mean, barring some sort of 584 00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:22.519 health crisis, I don't think Biden's going to say that. But I do 585 00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:28.480 think Newsom is setting himself up for twenty twenty eight. I think he's got 586 00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:39.320 twenty twenty eight on his radar. The I mean, my dream team would 587 00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:46.119 be you know that something happens and I don't want to say something happens to 588 00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:52.360 Biden that takes him out of the election, but something happens that Biden goes, 589 00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:59.039 Yep, this is not a good choice. And then I really think 590 00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:07.320 that my I look at the dream team could be Newsome and Pete. Yeah, 591 00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:12.800 I know you're very very fond of Pete Botage. And I think that 592 00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:16.840 if Pete got some years in his vice president the next time he ran for 593 00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:23.079 president, he would be golden. I mean, he's he's done some good 594 00:49:23.079 --> 00:49:29.400 stuff as Secretary Transportation, and he gets down in it and he holds his 595 00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:34.119 own every time he's interviewed, even when it's by hostile interviewers. I mean, 596 00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:37.719 he does well. He seems to be the I've noticed this. Uh. 597 00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:43.480 He seems to kind of be the go to Biden administration official to go 598 00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:50.079 on Fox and uh and defend Biden's policies. And and he's very he's very 599 00:49:50.119 --> 00:49:53.320 adept at doing that to be the one to have to go to Fox to 600 00:49:53.360 --> 00:49:57.760 do that. Um, he seems to be the go to guy for that. 601 00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:00.199 And and he's he's very good. He's very good at that. He 602 00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:07.320 knows what he's doing in terms of talking and presenting things pretty sharp. Yeah, 603 00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:14.840 and you know, I mean, but I know what you're saying about 604 00:50:14.920 --> 00:50:20.280 Nussen, and I do you know he's out there, so we could only 605 00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:23.920 help because I mean, the worst thing that in the world that could happen 606 00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:30.440 would be that Trump stumbles into getting reelected. And it's a real possibility, 607 00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:39.440 you know, And I just I just wish somebody could could talk to about 608 00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:44.000 it. Didn't go. Look, you're going out on a high note, 609 00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:49.920 right, you have established your legacy. You know, his time in the 610 00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:54.519 Senate eight years is VP and now four years as a president. This is 611 00:50:54.599 --> 00:51:02.239 this is the time to take your bow, you know. Yeah, but 612 00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:07.960 we'll see, because I don't know that this country, I mean, Trump 613 00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:15.599 repeatedly lists his revenge list if he gets elected. I don't have a great 614 00:51:15.639 --> 00:51:20.039 hope of this country with if Trump got into office for four more years, 615 00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:25.639 the amount of damon she could do, especially with this kangaroo court in the 616 00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:31.119 Supreme Court. Well, Asa Hutchinson, to his credit and by the way, 617 00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:37.360 h Hudson assa Hutchinson trouble with his name, former governor of Arkansas and 618 00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:40.599 very conservative. I probably don't agree with him on much, but to his 619 00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:46.760 credit, I think He's been very good at pointing out that. And this 620 00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:52.800 was I believe he presented it as the main impetus for him getting in is 621 00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:59.840 that Trump talks about, you know, being vindictive, and it seems as 622 00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:04.000 he just wants to get back into the presidency aside from you know, trying 623 00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:07.480 to uh maybe it'll help him with his legal issues, Like he just wants 624 00:52:07.480 --> 00:52:13.159 to get revenge on everybody. He just wants to get back in there to 625 00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:17.239 uh for vindication and uh and and that's not a good reason to uh. 626 00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:22.440 I forget exactly how Asa Hutchinson put it. He said something about the politics 627 00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:25.719 of vindictiveness or something, but um, I forget exactly how he said it, 628 00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:29.760 but it was very good. It was it was spot on. And 629 00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:31.920 that's what he points out. That's why Trump wants the presidency to get back 630 00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:36.000 at his enemies, not for the country, not for the you know, 631 00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:37.679 not for the good of the American people, not to be a leader, 632 00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:45.559 to get back at his enemies. That's that's the whole thing. Yeah, 633 00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:50.519 except for a lot of people that have drunk the Trump kool aid feel like 634 00:52:50.679 --> 00:52:57.480 somehow Trump getting even with his enemies is a win for them, right, 635 00:52:57.760 --> 00:53:02.000 Well, because yeah, because Trump is very good at doing the inclusion thing. 636 00:53:02.159 --> 00:53:06.199 Oh, they're not just after me, They're after all of us. 637 00:53:06.320 --> 00:53:10.639 They hate all of us, and they fall for it. They absolutely fall 638 00:53:10.719 --> 00:53:14.400 for it. They'll believe anything, Like I said earlier, they'll believe anything 639 00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:23.920 he tells them. Well, I think that we're just there's there is a 640 00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:31.880 lot more that's going to happen between now and that general election, and we're 641 00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:37.280 gonna have to kind of hold on tight and see where it goes. But 642 00:53:37.800 --> 00:53:45.719 you are still pretty like no one is gonna unseat Trump and Biden would only 643 00:53:45.719 --> 00:53:51.400 go away at Biden's choice. Yes, that is that is what I believe 644 00:53:51.440 --> 00:53:54.920 we're getting. We're getting a Trump Biden rematch that nobody wants, but that's 645 00:53:54.920 --> 00:54:07.320 what we're getting. Congratulations America, We've done it again. So do you 646 00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:15.440 think that anything is going to come about with all of the corruption that's coming 647 00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:21.639 out of the Supreme Court? Are they no? Are they being on being 648 00:54:21.719 --> 00:54:27.360 beyond touch? Or do you think that if we got a democratic full democratic 649 00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:31.000 Congress, that they might take the Supreme Court on? No, I don't 650 00:54:31.039 --> 00:54:35.000 think anyone has the stomach to take them on. And uh no, I 651 00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:38.360 don't think look, none of it surprises me. I've never understood. I 652 00:54:38.639 --> 00:54:43.920 did an entire segment on my show about this. I've never understood why people 653 00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:46.559 think that the Supreme Court is any different from the other two branches of government. 654 00:54:46.639 --> 00:54:51.199 You know, why they think the judicial branch is somehow above it all, 655 00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:57.239 just because they're not elected by the people, and you know, like 656 00:54:57.320 --> 00:55:01.639 the like the the executive and the legislative, they're they're part of the elite. 657 00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:06.880 You don't get much more elite than a Supreme Court justice. And they 658 00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:09.480 don't care. That's why they're so arrogant about it. That's why they get 659 00:55:09.480 --> 00:55:14.599 caught and they don't care. That's why Justice Clarence Thomas, you know, 660 00:55:14.679 --> 00:55:17.880 he couldn't care less what you think. Um, I don't believe John Roberts. 661 00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:21.760 People. You know, all is handwringing about oh, Chief Justice John 662 00:55:21.840 --> 00:55:25.039 Roberts. He's got a you know, he's he's probably very concerned about repairing 663 00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:30.800 the how people perceive the Supreme Court. I'm telling you he doesn't care. 664 00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:35.800 I can't. I don't believe for a second John Roberts cares. I've never 665 00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:38.360 believed for a second in my life that the Supreme Court really is above it 666 00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:42.639 all. They are not. They're just as capable of being, just as 667 00:55:42.639 --> 00:55:51.480 corrupt as anybody else. Well mad. We'll see how the world is changed 668 00:55:51.559 --> 00:55:57.280 in four weeks. Thanks for Jenny Journy, You're my best. To Jenny, 669 00:55:58.119 --> 00:56:01.880 I will and you take care of yourself and enjoy the rest of this 670 00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:09.039 warm, moist air, all right. Thanks everybody, Thanks doctor Kevin, 671 00:56:09.119 --> 00:56:10.159 Bye bye h
