from your carrier anyway. You know,

10
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:07.840
over the past uh gee, you
know it's when you think go backwards

11
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.719
in time. There's a lot of
things to you know, to take into

12
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:17.359
account, to think about how we
got here as a nation, and specifically

13
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:25.239
I mean here as a nation as
it pertains to just the political climate,

14
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.319
right. And we've talked about this
a lot, but I've I've warned you

15
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:37.200
as you well know, any just
as a rational, observant, logically thinking

16
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:44.040
individual, do you know we know
that we are about to embark upon the

17
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:56.120
single most intense divisive political season in
American history, well in modern American history,

18
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:00.120
let's say that, because of course, and that's the first thing I

19
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:04.640
always want to make sure that we
stop and note is that we've had politically

20
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:10.240
divisive times at various points throughout the
history of this country as well. I

21
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:16.520
like to remind people that even according
to the second President of the United States,

22
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:22.240
John Adams, when he explained,
this is a historical record, this

23
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:29.240
is I believe somewhere in a maybe
one of the historical sites in this country,

24
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.800
or I believe that there's a placard
or something with us on it.

25
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:38.680
It's elsewhere as well. But basically, John Adams points out that there is

26
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.159
during the Revolution, during the American
Revolution, it was basically, this is

27
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:51.680
maybe a bit oversimplified, but there
were basically three groups of people, and

28
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:59.159
each of those groups had roughly a
third of Americans in them. There were

29
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:07.400
those who were loyal to the king, those who were actual, actual fans

30
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:13.479
of monarchy of dare I say,
a type of authoritarianism, those that just

31
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:19.800
wanted to not ruffle the feathers,
those that trusted, I guess the king,

32
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:24.000
and all have his infinite wisdom to
do what was best for them and

33
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:30.000
for their families, or at least
they didn't want to upset the all knowing

34
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:36.560
king. There were those that were
prepared and willing and who took action to

35
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.560
fight for their freedom, for their
independence. These were the American Revolutionaries.

36
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:46.759
These were folks like Thomas Jefferson and
Samuel Adams and just the founding fathers in

37
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:53.599
general, and of course all the
people that they inspired and helped to lead

38
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.680
to American revolution. And then there
was a third group that said, just

39
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:04.080
leave us alone. Care who's in
control of what We just want to be

40
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:10.120
left alone. We want to go
about our business. We don't want to

41
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:18.279
be basically thrust into this civil war. And so even when we're on the

42
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:25.160
side that the American Revolutionaries were on
the side of victory, the odds were

43
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.680
typically not not in their favor.
You go back to the Civil War,

44
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.759
the Civil War, I mean,
obviously, this nation reached a point,

45
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:40.920
reached a point to where it was
prepared, God forbid this should ever happen.

46
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:50.959
But they were prepared to or they
were divided enough and were convicted or

47
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:57.160
angry enough, or whatever, how
you want to look at this different reasons

48
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:01.759
for different folks, I imagine,
but they were prepared to actually go to

49
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:08.360
war with their fellow Americans. And
you look at the people that led us

50
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:13.600
through those times, I'm reminded of
George Washington and his leadership. You know,

51
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.680
he was the unanimous choice. It's
a remarkable thing. He was the

52
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:26.279
unanimous choice of the founders. They
all wanted him to be the President of

53
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.680
the United States. In fact,
they wanted him to run a third term,

54
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.319
be president for a third term.
And he basically told them, if

55
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:39.560
you can't this nation can't work without
me, this nation isn't going to make

56
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.959
it. And so that's kind of
where we got the idea of a two

57
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:49.920
term president eight years. Even though
we of course had that, we didn't

58
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:58.199
actually put that into set that into
stone until Fdr Franklin Delano Roosevelt back in

59
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.480
the what was it the thies and
forties when he actually served I believe the

60
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:08.439
beginning of a fourth term. And
that's when we you know, the the

61
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:13.480
new it was set in place that
you could only have to consect well,

62
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.519
two terms as president of the United
States anyway, So there was been points

63
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:23.680
in history where there has been contention
before, but this is largely new to

64
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:29.480
many of us today. This in
modern times, I suppose. You know,

65
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:31.399
there was a lot of tension,
of course, back in the sixties

66
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:40.000
and seventies, and I just it
was different. It was it was different,

67
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:44.040
but there was still tension, especially
as it pertained to the Vietnam War

68
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:48.399
and the protests and all that civil
rights movement. Of course, a lot

69
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:53.920
of a lot of intense moments.
But for those that those, those things

70
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:59.120
are far enough in the past to
where most Americans can't can't really relate to

71
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.839
that. They may be if we're
lucky today, maybe they've read a book

72
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:10.000
on it, maybe they've seen video
on this, but they didn't personally experience

73
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.399
it. And I used to learn
from Rush, and he had a way,

74
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.680
of course, but he said that
history began for most people, history

75
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:24.040
begins on the day that they are
born. That's unfortunately the perspective of a

76
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:30.639
lot of people. They don't really
think too much or grasp too much the

77
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:35.279
history that existed before them. I'm
reminded of some of these men on the

78
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:41.240
street interviews that I see where individuals
are asked what y'ared in America when its

79
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:45.839
independence, and people say things like
nineteen twenty four, and ridiculous things.

80
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:50.639
Who did America fight to gain her
independence from? And you'll hear nations like

81
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:57.600
Poland and Czechoslovakia or whatever. You
hear the most ridiculous and absurd things,

82
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.040
because again, these are just things. I mean, you know, there's

83
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.839
so many things that have gotten us
to this point. I think one of

84
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.839
them is we've been blessed with so
much prosperity. Last week we talked about

85
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:13.759
the true story of Thanksgiving. We
talked about how the pilgrims before that second

86
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:20.720
Thanksgiving. We talked about how they
learned, or how Bradford would say,

87
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.480
how God showed them, taught them
a better way to live. And that

88
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:30.560
was basically in a free market economy, not where everyone owned an equal share

89
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.559
of everything, but rather where people
had their own private property and could do

90
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:41.679
with it what they wished. And
that basically ignited kind of an entrepreneurial spirit.

91
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:52.960
It gave people an opportunity to reap
the rewards of their hard work,

92
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:58.399
of their sacrifice, of maybe some
risk taking. Before then, if you

93
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.200
worked hard, you actually got less
than you worked for because the people who

94
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:07.919
worked less got more. Because everything
was equalized, everything was equalized. So

95
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:13.720
if you were a slacker, you
actually got more than you participated in producing.

96
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.720
If you were an achiever, you
got less than you produced. So

97
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:26.559
it was it served to make well, It served to deincentivize people, to

98
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.919
make them less motivated. Why work
hard when Billy sits on his duff all

99
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.879
day, we get the same thing
at the end of the day. That

100
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.200
doesn't make sense. And so anyway, we talked about that the true story

101
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.000
of Thanksgiving last week, but I
don't think you know that that started.

102
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.320
That was just the very very beginning
of this is four hundred years ago.

103
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:54.159
But now we have this prospers just
unimaginably prosperous economic engine in this country that

104
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.960
has survived so many, so many
attempts, so many attempts that had been

105
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.919
thrown at it by these radicals,
these lovers of big government, who want

106
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:11.080
to micro manage everything to the nth
degree. This economy keeps chugging along.

107
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:18.559
It's almost it seems unstoppable. There's
always unless a leftist is running the governments

108
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.879
at the moment that there's you can
generally, of course, there's been tough

109
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.879
times, the depression and so forth, but you know, there's there's opportunities

110
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.840
for jobs. In fact, I've
shared before I'm always amazed by this.

111
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.519
We have we pay for entertainment,
say in the form of let's say professional

112
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:41.240
football. Then there's people whose career
is to talk about entertainment, and we

113
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:46.279
have people that are in sports talk
and that sort of thing. So people

114
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.399
who are talking strictly about the entertainment. Then we have another degree. It's

115
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:56.639
so prosperous that we can have degrees
of entertainment. Drilling another level down into

116
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:03.600
entertainment. You've got people who talk
about the fantasy aspect of professional football or

117
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.399
basketball. Right, We've got fantasy
sports, so meaning there are people whose

118
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:16.759
entire career is to talk about a
fantasy of which players you would have on

119
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.399
your team. And I'm just I'm
not criticizing, I'm just saying this is

120
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:26.240
where we've gotten as a country.
But you have people who take entertainment,

121
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.039
say football, and then there's a
fantasy aspect of the entertainment, as though

122
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:37.840
you could build your own team,
a fantasy team of entertainers. Which again

123
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.919
I don't mean any of this bad. I'm just saying it's so prosperous that

124
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.039
we've gotten to that point. It's
so prosperous to where people can sit around

125
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:54.320
and dream up problems make them bigger
than they really are. You know,

126
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.720
it's amazing to me. It's amazing
to me if you look at some of

127
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:05.759
the skeptical questions that people might have
say about God, just as an example,

128
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:11.360
these questions more times than not,
more times than not come from places

129
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:16.039
that have reached a level of prosperity
where people can sit around and think about

130
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:22.039
these things in an ironic way.
Some of the people who have suffered the

131
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:28.440
most don't question God to the same
degree that some of us Americans or people

132
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:35.279
who have lived in the West under
prosperity have dreamed up concocted as we've sat

133
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:41.279
around and sipped our chardonnay or whatever, and some you know, Ivory Tower,

134
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:48.200
some academics and so forth. But
it's so prosperous, this nation is.

135
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:56.279
It's so prosperous that I think people
begin to dream up things that's not

136
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:01.240
rooted in reality. They either create
problems and you look, I look at

137
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.279
things like the trans movement and so
forth. This is this is an example,

138
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.200
in my humble opinion, of that
where people have sat around we have

139
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:16.080
no real direct problems of day to
day survival, going out and you know,

140
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.799
hunting something and bringing it in,
or we starve and so we create

141
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:24.559
other problems, or we magnify other
issues. And I'm not saying there's not

142
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.080
Please don't misunderstand. I'm not saying
there's not problems and people have to deal

143
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:35.120
with other things psychologically and all that. I'm not commenting on that. I'm

144
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.519
just saying that there's certainly an element
that says these problems can be created because

145
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:48.200
we're so overly prosperous this nation has
been. And so you get these groups.

146
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.879
You get these groups who sit around
and they talk about things, and

147
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:58.799
they develop and deepen these worldviews into
you know, they sit around on social

148
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.519
media day they've got a way to
connect and to share ideas and to build

149
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:11.440
movements. And you can almost have
a subculture that exists only online, for

150
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.320
example, that average Americans may not
even know. It's not out there in

151
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:18.799
the world these you know, in
the real world where we're walking around running

152
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:24.759
into these folks. They're organizing and
communicating online and then they start to publicly

153
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.120
display their thoughts and ideas and opinions, and it can be shocking at times.

154
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.919
Where are these folks come from?
How did they come up with these

155
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:39.120
ideas? How could they be so
far off from reality? And so it's

156
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.320
in that climate I guess that we
exist today as a nation. We have

157
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.240
folks who have, because of prosperity, have been able to sit around not

158
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:54.320
really be productive members of society.
You know, I'm amazed sometimes at how

159
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.519
little people do and actually get paid. Some of you work your tails off.

160
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.240
I'm not saying that this is universal, but there are a lot of

161
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.960
folks out there that don't do anything
and get pretty good pay. And it's

162
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.360
again all due to the massive amounts
of prosperity that we have, and so

163
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.799
we were designed to have some sort
of battle, right. I think there

164
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.480
was a book years ago, and
I've got to take a break. I'm

165
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:24.159
a little long here, but there
was a book years ago. What's the

166
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.600
John Elders was the author. Minute
was that book? Eyes? Do you

167
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:33.000
remember? Minute? Off to look
it up during the break. But anyway,

168
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:39.279
he talked about how every man has
a battle to fight. We'll look

169
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.039
it up during the break. I
will look it up now. And there's

170
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.200
an element of being a human being
where we need to have something to fight.

171
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:50.519
And when everything is you know,
economically prosperous and it's relatively peaceful.

172
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.000
I know it's gotten more intense,
but relatively peaceful. We don't deal with

173
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.320
some of the things that people have
had to deal with historically around the world.

174
00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:58.799
Wow, that heart there. It
is a great book, by the

175
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:06.639
way, I loved that book anyway. So these these things begin to fester

176
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.000
and to grow, and there's real
problems. So I'm not glossing over that.

177
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.000
I'm just saying that there's there's a
lot of factors into this. So

178
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:18.440
we create this political tension. There's
the echo chambers, they're the massive hatred

179
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.759
of President Trump. There's people who
have been demonizing him. And of course

180
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:27.600
you got that factor too, those
in government who are absolutely terrified of someone

181
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:37.080
like Trump coming in and basically uprooting
their cozy little existence there inside the bureaucratic

182
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:40.759
state, the deep state, the
swamp. And you get all these factors

183
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:45.240
working together, and now we've got
a clash of ideologies, a clash of

184
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:49.639
worldviews, and this battle is being
fought. It's being waged metaphorically on the

185
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:53.840
political battleground. And I told you
and you know this, that this is

186
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:59.679
going to be the most intense political
season that we've had in modern history.

187
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.960
This is not going anywhere away.
So with that being said, timeouts in

188
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:08.880
order want to play some soundbites next
segment. One of them is from Michael

189
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:15.279
Cohen. I just it's incredible.
I think I've got one from Whoope Goldberg

190
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:21.160
on the View and you'll hear this
rhetoric, I mean the rhetoric. Remember,

191
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.359
we are a year a little bit
less, almost eleven months away from

192
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:30.599
election day. There's a mystery pneumonia
virus going around China, supposedly just in

193
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:36.839
time for the election cycle. Anyway, you've got all this stuff brewing,

194
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.799
bubbling beneath the surface. It's starting
to rear its ugly head here as we

195
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.279
get into soon to be twenty twenty
four and the actual year of the camp

196
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:51.599
or the election, the actual physical
start of primary season, which is just

197
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:55.319
a little bit less than two months
away now. Anyway, I want to

198
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:00.000
share what's the craziness that's already being
said. And this is just the beginning.

199
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:04.440
It is going to get very rabid, very out of control. So

200
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:08.559
we need to be prepared for that, so quick, time out play these

201
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.319
sound bites. On the other side
of this break. Be back in the

202
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:29.400
minute, my friends. Welcome back, my friends. So for the break,

203
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:32.559
I mentioned to you that we were
going to play some sound bites.

204
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:45.599
Play some sound bites of some folks
who are already in maximum fear mongering mode.

205
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:53.559
These folks have absolutely lost their ever
loving minds, and they know,

206
00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:03.240
they know without a shadow of doubt
that the only chance they have, well,

207
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:08.880
there's two chances. One, oh
boy. One is if they can

208
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:15.480
cause people to be so afraid of
a second term of Trump that they'll go

209
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.119
and push the button for the other
guy, no matter who it is.

210
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:25.839
That's what happened in twenty twenty.
Well, it's a lot packed into that

211
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:30.839
statement. The other is if they
can somehow pull off something sketchy. We'll

212
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:37.400
just say that if this is about
ideas, if this is about the direction

213
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:45.160
of the country, if this is
about whether someone's life was better in prior

214
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:51.480
to, you know, during Trump's
administration versus Biden's, this is not even

215
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:55.799
remotely close. Polling shows this.
I know we're still a ways away,

216
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:02.000
but that look, it's it's really
bad. For it's really bad. You

217
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:06.000
know. People will point out that
polling can change, and you hear me

218
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:08.519
say that polling is just a tool, but it's still a tool. It's

219
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:12.240
still a gauge. I know there
can be some funny business going on with

220
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:17.000
polling and all that. I know
there's things called push polls. I know

221
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:21.599
that the way that the questions are
asked, who they call, what's the

222
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:26.440
sample size of Republicans and Democrats,
all that stuff can factor in obviously to

223
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:33.079
the result of the poll. But
it's still is still a tool, and

224
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:40.640
it typically I would I would dare
say almost always. I would even go

225
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:44.240
as far to say, oh,
I hate to be I hate to say

226
00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:48.680
something that. There may be one
exception to somewhere, but virtually every time,

227
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:53.440
every time that I'm aware pulling,
typically the closer we get to the

228
00:20:53.480 --> 00:21:02.400
election moves closer, it actually benefits
the republic And I think there's lots of

229
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:07.480
reasons for that. One of those
reasons is because they're trying to communicate a

230
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:12.519
message that people don't like the Republican
candidate or whatever. They're trying to shape

231
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:18.039
public opinion with polls versus reveal it
anyway. But all that being said,

232
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.039
it rarely comes out where the Republicans'
poll numbers are fantastic. And then it

233
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:27.319
shifts dramatically to the other, to
the Democrat anyway, So they so they've

234
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:30.920
got a mess. They know that
though Democrats have a mess. So Michael

235
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:33.240
Cohen, does he have his own
show? I don't know. I can't

236
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:34.960
be very good to listen to.
But here it is Michael Cohen. I

237
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:40.000
don't know if yeah, he's got
a show. He's got a show.

238
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:45.359
Here he's interviewing a congressman or senator
that's not even relevant. He just goes

239
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.480
on a rant here. And I
want you to hear this rant. I

240
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:53.079
want you to listen to the picture
he paints. I want you to listen

241
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:59.559
to the words he uses and how
he describes what a second Trump campaign or

242
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:04.160
excuse me, Trump term would look
like. Now the audio is not feeding.

243
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:10.799
She was all right, I'm taking
a break. This is aggravating a

244
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:15.440
heck for me. All right,
reconnect this. Sorry about the technical difficulty

245
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:19.440
here. This happens sometimes when you're
playing a sound bite. But let me

246
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.920
figure this out during the break,
quick time out my friends back in just

247
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:38.200
a minute. I'm not gonna believe
this, but literally literally, as it

248
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:44.200
went to break, the SoundBite played
through my head through the system. It

249
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:48.359
would not do it. I cannot. You would not believe. You would

250
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:56.640
not believe when this acts up the
system. Here it it works until I

251
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.599
hit try to trigger the ad anyway, That's what it did last segment.

252
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:07.559
So let's see, let's see if
it cooperates. This segment, Michael Cohen

253
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:15.000
doing his best to convince people not
to vote for Trump by scaring them into

254
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.759
believing that folks are going to be
sent to Guantanamo Bay. That's right,

255
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:25.240
my friends. Guantanamo Bay is the
destination for many people who are the political

256
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:29.079
enemies of Trump. If you listen
to Michael Cohen here it is I hope

257
00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:33.000
he is look at that this sounds
I mean, think about this. We're

258
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:40.039
talking about Donald Trump, a guy
who's twice impeached for indictments ninety one criminal

259
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:44.240
charges against him, you know,
a sexual assaulter. I mean, on

260
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:48.000
and on and on, his company
found you know, criminally, you know,

261
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:51.079
I should say civilly liable for fraud, et cetera. We can go

262
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:56.160
on and on, and yet there's
still like seventy million people that are following

263
00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:00.599
this authoritarian wannabe. Do they not
re anything? Do we need to sort

264
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:06.759
of like dumb down the New York
Times article for them, or even the

265
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:11.279
New York Post article for them,
or some article for them, so that

266
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.880
they understand that if you vote,
a vote for Donald Trump is a vote

267
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:22.759
for the end of democracy. And
I personally don't want to be led around.

268
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.400
I don't want anybody telling me,
as they're doing already right now,

269
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:30.759
what you can and can't do in
your bedroom. I don't want them to

270
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.400
talking, turning on and saying who
can and who can't vote. All of

271
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.680
a sudden, you're gonna have somebody
knock down your door, and it's gonna

272
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.519
be Trump's brown shirts pulling you out
and sending you off to guantanamobey. And

273
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:45.960
I know that sounds hyperbolic, but
I know him so well. Yes,

274
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:49.640
I know what's on his mind,
and I know what he intends to do.

275
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:55.720
He's looking to stere the piss out
of everyone so that nobody, and

276
00:24:55.799 --> 00:25:00.799
I mean nobody, like the way
Kim Jong un runs nor Korea. He

277
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:04.640
wants to run the United States of
America that way, the way that Vladimir

278
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:11.880
Putin controls Russia. He wants to
control America the way that Mohammed ben Selman

279
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:15.799
controls in Saudi Arabia. He wants
to control America, the city. I

280
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:19.599
mean, it's the stupidity of this. And you know what, it's not

281
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:23.400
even that you know when I describe
well, how they how they do this,

282
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:26.759
it's exactly what he did. They
start going through, they start listening

283
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:33.039
the number of indictments, the number
of criminal charges, the number of well

284
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:37.079
court cases, I should say,
the number of whatever. You know,

285
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:44.079
they make grandiose claims about Trump being
sexual, whatever, whatever. They just

286
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:48.079
start throwing these things out. I'm
surprised he didn't say in office Trump lied

287
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.039
thirty thousand, three hundred and sixteen
times or whatever the stupid number is.

288
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.279
This is how they go about doing
this. Do we not read Come on,

289
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:02.079
Michael, you know if you want
to persuade, if you truly want

290
00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:06.119
to persuade somebody, I actually just
read this the other day, and it

291
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:10.759
goes along a lot with what you
know. It well, it goes along

292
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:17.640
perfectly with the philosophy behind this program. You ask questions, you listen,

293
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.799
you seek to understand. And by
the way, persuasion is something you do

294
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:29.160
with someone, not to someone.
Is this is bullying tactics? What is

295
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:34.160
this? Their strategy is to get
you or me, or the American people

296
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:41.799
to be so afraid of being in
this group of people that have been attacked

297
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:48.640
and maligned and so forth, that
we just say, fine, I capitulate,

298
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:53.480
I give in. I'm voting for
Biden, just so, just so

299
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:57.119
I can show the world how smart
I am, just so I can prove

300
00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:03.160
to Michael Cohen, just so I
can prove to Michael Cohen that this is

301
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:08.559
something I read. I read the
New York Times. Michael, please please

302
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:11.480
know that I read the New York
Times. Please know that come on,

303
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:18.720
this is it's beyond stupid. Here's
woop Be Goldberg on that wonderful show The

304
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:25.000
View, talking about, well,
we get what we deserve with Trump.

305
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:29.599
Here she is, well, listen, if he if he, if he

306
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:34.519
gets re elected, we deserve what
we get if we wait, if we

307
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:38.079
put him back in, if we
put him, if he gets back in,

308
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:44.359
we deserve what we got because it
meant that we were not loud enough

309
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:48.400
or strong enough, or that a
constitution wasn't strong enough to keep this bozo

310
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:52.200
out. Well, you have James
working against the good, and the whole

311
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.119
world is getting a little weird.
I mean, they just put a fascist

312
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.480
into an Argentina. Argentina, don't
cry from me. Argentina has never been

313
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:06.079
the pinnacle of democracy, and jokers
and clowns abounds. We get what we

314
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:11.240
deserve. We were too stupid.
If we vote for Trump, we deserve

315
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.519
to be authoritarian under the rule of
an authoritarian regime. And this is beyond

316
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:21.519
ridiculous, my friends. But this
is this is all they've got. What

317
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:23.680
are the reasons to not vote for
Trump because he's going to be a dictator?

318
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:30.039
I've got the best one of all
is actually one from Scarborough Morning Joe

319
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:34.640
that was out. It was actually
last week last week, I think right

320
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:38.119
before Thanksgiving. I just haven't had
time to play it. I'll play it

321
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.960
and it's a little bit longer,
but it's I would even say it's worse

322
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:48.400
than Cohen's. Cohen wants people to
think that Trump is going to send his

323
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:56.680
special secret police after them and throw
them in guantanam obey. I'm it is

324
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:03.119
Meanwhile, they do this, They
do this simultaneously. These two things are

325
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:11.319
happening at the exact same time.
You have Trump being indicted. He has

326
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:18.559
four criminal cases that he's fighting that
are in different parts of the country.

327
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.880
They have weaponized the Department of Justice
against him and against others. Dare I

328
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:27.559
say, and we're not supposed to
even pay any attention to that. It's

329
00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:32.440
this, It's amazing to me.
It is amazing to me. And it

330
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:37.880
reminds me of stories that I've heard
that I read years ago from Joseph about

331
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:42.880
Joseph Stalin. Stalin, of course, the brutal communist thug dictator, an

332
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:51.039
actual dictator. I'm surprised Cohen didn't
reference Stalin. Maybe Cohen didn't know about

333
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:55.240
Stalin. Maybe Cohen is the one
that's not reading. I don't know.

334
00:29:55.880 --> 00:30:04.720
But Stalin was the brutal dictator and
the communist Soviet Republic. He in prison,

335
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:10.839
well, he killed is it twenty
million? Twenty million of his own

336
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:17.839
people? Is the estimate? Brutal, brutal dictator, thug, legitimate brutal

337
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:22.799
dictator. Ironically, if you go
to university campuses around this country, there's

338
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:29.039
a lot of folks there that defend
the likes of Joseph Stalin, that defend

339
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:33.079
the likes of Mao Sedong, who, by the way, the Chinese communist

340
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:37.200
dictator thug killed reportedly sixty million,
I think is the number that they give

341
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:42.920
to Mao. Ultimately, we don't
know it was massive amounts of people,

342
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:47.359
but I've read stories not only did
they kill people, they also put them

343
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:51.759
into camps, into gulags, political
prisoners, people who needed to be re

344
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:59.440
educated, and so forth. That
I mean people that, honestly, Michael

345
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:06.839
Cohen, Michael Cohen would have been
arguing, this is the way I look

346
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:10.160
at it. If you want to
know who's on whose side, look at

347
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:14.279
who's weaponizing the government. Now,
look at who's trying to do everything they

348
00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:18.720
can to prevent using the government.
Not just using argument. They can say

349
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:21.680
whatever they want, they can campaign
however they want, but using the government,

350
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.960
using the Department of Justice to go
after political opponents. Michael Cohen apparently

351
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:33.119
is cool with that. Michael Cohen, if history was the same, group

352
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:37.920
of people was to be laid into
the reality of the world of the Soviet

353
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:44.880
Communist Republic back in the what sixties
or whatever Stalin was. Of course before

354
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.400
that, Stalin World War Two,
so it'd have been fifties when he was

355
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:53.200
really kind of getting things really really
going there in the communist utopia. But

356
00:31:53.279 --> 00:32:00.759
anyway, so Stalin would have had
people like Cohen making the case against his

357
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:07.079
political adversaries. I remind would point
out to Michael Cohen, which side do

358
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:13.400
you really think you would be on
in the nineteen fifties during the during that

359
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:16.799
period of time. Where would you
have been in the nineteen thirties, Where

360
00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:22.000
would you have been the nineteen forties, fifties, sixties, during this whole

361
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:27.880
build up of brutal regimes around the
world in the twentieth century that killed more

362
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:31.160
than one hundred million of your own
people. And as this is going on,

363
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:37.240
as it's really going on now,
it's not obviously to the extent that

364
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:40.119
they dealt with in those places,
but as we have people in power today

365
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:46.640
that are weaponizing the government, that
are getting i mean building you talk about

366
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:52.119
building it like an oligarchy. Look
at what these the ruling class has done.

367
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:54.599
Look at what they've done, Look
at how they've allegedly I'm going to

368
00:32:54.680 --> 00:33:02.880
use the word allegedly enriched themselves.
I'm gonna say this. Look, it's

369
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:08.599
terrible with what's happened to these hostages. This first American that was released as

370
00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:15.039
a four year old girl, and
absolutely atrocious what she's she's been through.

371
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:21.720
But reports are and I'm just look, I'm just I don't know. I'm

372
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:27.000
just sharing information. I'm not that
that doesn't change anything that she's going through

373
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:30.200
what I'm about to say, but
it is, it's just it. It's

374
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:37.359
worth mentioning that her family, that
poor four year old little girl, her

375
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:43.160
family. I'm her aunt or someone
not her mom or dad. I think

376
00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:47.519
it's an aunt I believe was one
of the people that purchased Hunter Biden's art.

377
00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:53.440
It's just and again that that may
be a coincidence because there's obviously a

378
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:58.720
limited number of hostages. And I'm
not I'm just saying. I'm just saying

379
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:04.680
that there is so much crap and
corruption hunter Biden's art. He just got

380
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:07.400
me to thinking about that is why
I had to give you the bridge there.

381
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:10.880
So I just read that as I
was preparing for the show. The

382
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:16.000
bridge to corruption is right? Is
it's right there? I mean the Hunter

383
00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:19.760
Biden's art. If it's as worth, if it's worth as much as they

384
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:23.280
want you to believe it's worth,
I think Hunter should start doing auctions for

385
00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:27.480
the federal government. You want to
get rid of thirty three trillion dollars or

386
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.320
thirty four trillion dollars of debt,
give Hunter Biden a paint brush. Let

387
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:35.360
him get after it. Let him
just go to town. He'll have that

388
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:37.960
paid off by the next weekend.
The rate that he's getting for some of

389
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:44.639
his paintings, it's just preposterous.
It's preposterous. It's the same sort of

390
00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:50.960
crap that happened in these Soviet oligarchies, right, these communistic regimes, which

391
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:53.199
was authoritarian, but there was a
group. There was a group that was

392
00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:58.159
living high on the hog. There
was a group that was on all of

393
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:00.360
the deals and so forth, that
were fitting from everything. And then there

394
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:06.480
was the peasantry, the people that
couldn't survive because they had no way because

395
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:12.119
the government was a boot upon their
neck. And Cohen's out here comparing Trump

396
00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:17.519
to that. It's just Authoritarians don't
cut taxes. Authoritarians don't reduce the level

397
00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:27.320
of bureaucracy. Authoritarians don't do things
that are in agreement with religious freedom.

398
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:34.239
I mean, it's remarkable how historically
stupid some of these comments are. That

399
00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:37.039
I hear anyway, time outs in
order to tack my friends back in just

400
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:51.360
a minute, I want to back
my friends. By the way, you

401
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:53.360
know that we're marching towards the end
of the year. You know that we

402
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:58.880
are. I mean we're knocking on
the doorstep. Of December, the twelfth

403
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:04.840
month of the year, health insurance
premiums are set to increase five to eight

404
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:07.760
percents. What I've read in twenty
twenty four, your insurance may be going

405
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:12.079
up. I don't know. It
could be your individual plan, it could

406
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:19.360
be your group plan. Whatever you've
gotten, premiums are likely going up.

407
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:22.039
Maybe a great time to shop around
and see what's out there. If that

408
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:29.079
describes you, now's the time to
do that. Now's the time to go

409
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:35.159
online to iseellhealth dot com. Reach
out to my friend Eric Wilson. There.

00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:47.559

Act. It doesn't mean that he wants

413
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:50.719
to be. He doesn't mean he's
a fan of it. But he knows

414
00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:53.320
how to navigate this stuff is the
point. He knows how it works.

415

He knows how to help his customers, folks that are looking to figure out

416

00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:25.119
pertaining to insurance, I've had Eric
on the program. He's been on Fox

421
00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:31.280
News, He's been on lots of
places talking about Obamacare, insurance related stuff,

422
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:36.519
things that the government can't keep their
hands off of. Anyway. Check

424
00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:44.760
a lot of time here, but
I do want to say there's one other

425
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:47.239
clip that I've got, one other
SoundBite that I've got that I wish I

426
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:55.599
had time to play today, and
you would find it on the website and

427
00:37:55.639 --> 00:38:00.119
the stack of Stuff. You'll find
it. You'll see it there. You

428
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:02.480
go to to HP show dot com. Just go to the Stack of stuff

429
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:06.840
and go to play the clip from
Joe Scarborough. I've just run out of

430
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:14.280
time. He says that Trump's gonna
execute people, He's gonna imprison, execute,

431
00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:16.800
drive from the country. He says, look at his past. It's

432
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:22.400
not really it's not really hard to
read. Absolutely delusion on my friends,

433
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:28.440
Quick time out back in a minute, Welcome back, my friends, that

434
00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:32.920
is the actual clip, the SoundBite, the quote from Joe Scarborough. That's

435
00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:40.159
what he actually said. He actually
said, and I quote Trump will well

436
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:46.239
he said he but Trump will imprison, he will execute whoever he is allowed

437
00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:52.719
to imprison, execute, drive from
the country. Just look at his past.

438
00:38:52.719 --> 00:39:04.639
It's not really hard to read.
That is what Scarborough says Trump is

439
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:09.880
going to do. It's remarkable,
really, it's absolutely delusional, insane,

440
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:16.480
ridiculous. I just we know what's
coming. We know it's going to get

441
00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:23.679
worse. Buckle up for the most
divisive point politically speaking in your life.

442
00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:27.440
Twenty sixteen will look like a joke. Twenty twenty will look like a joke.

443
00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:29.960
I've got to go, my friends. Thanks for listening, See you

444
00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:30.840
tomorrow. SDG
