Good morning, everybody happy fancying Friday. It's all in the morning, and
it's common sense Radio. And yes, one of the stars of yesterday's You
Know What show was not under than Marjorie Taylor Green, who did not heed
the pre advice of the news media and others finger wagging hall monitors to make
sure that she upheld decorum at the State of the Union address. There was
no such thing as decorum, and Joe Biden made sure of that as he
put it right out the window, not not to mention, out of the
blocks threatening the US Supreme vow. I respect justices. Women are not without
elect electoral power. Excuse me, electoral or political power. You're about to
realize just how much you've brought about as he mumbles his way, And it
was like a two minute sustained standing ovation with the flying monkeys of the Democrat
Party all hovering around and standing around the US Supreme Court. At that point,
decorum's out the window. There's no need to play the game anymore.
And I'm glad Marjorie Taylor Green was there and suited up when the game started.
Oh she had her hat on, she had her color. I mean,
it's too bad we don't have more republic Can you imagine she was the
only one like that out of all of our Republican congress people. She was
the only one who came ready for the fight. And that's what the state
of the Union is going to be. I hope actually it deteriorates into just
an all out food fight next time around. And when President Trump was president,
I hope it's the same way because he and we'll have more people who
will be ready to fight, and maybe there'll be some punches thrown or something,
but we might as well go ahead and go all out. I mean,
if it's gonna go that way, let's just let it all just hang
out, you know, and and do it that way. Oh and by
the way, the other thing that Marjorie Taylor Green did was she got Joe
Biden to use the term illegal, which was crazy because you'd never think that
a Democrat. They don't even mention the word illegal. They've undocumented, you
know, they won't even say the word homeless. They are unhowls. I
mean, these people are all twisted and bizarre. But yeah, Marjorie Taylor
Green got Joe Biden to kind of light his hair on fire there I'd be
a winner, not really, I Lincoln and then is a young woman who
was killed? Why? And illegal? That's right, but how many of
the thousands of people being killed by legal? I mean, that's that's good
way to go, MTG. You got Joe Biden to go ahead and just
uh call him illegals. And so, of course, you know, Nancy
Nancy Pelosi went on the uh CNN and and and she wasn't happy that he
used that term. You know, they should have said undocumented, but it's
not. Yeah, he should have said undocumented. Yeah, well, too
late. He already was tricked into using the terminology by Marjorie Taylor Greed.
So that was a real big advancement. Then afterwards, CNN came out with
one of these live polls. It was a poll of people who were uh
watching the watching this on CNN. Uh and and so what do you think
you're gonna get when you've got I mean, who watches that you're gonna if
you're if you're already on CNN, you're watching on CNN, you're all you
already love Joe Biden. That's that's there's no doubt about that, because you
want him to have a speech there and then and then you want all the
people on CNN to love his speech and talk about how amazing it was and
a tour in the forest, which is exactly what they did. They don't.
They don't mention that he called this murdered woman Lincoln instead of Lincoln.
They don't even they don't even mention that he's you realize, he said thousands
and thousands have been killed by illegals, So so she got him to say
that too, even though that's technically not true. But who's counting, right?
But yeah, here's here's the here's the post State of the Union poll
CNN. Yeah, Anderson, I should just remind everyone this is a poll
of speech watchers, so it's not a pole that is representative of the electorate
overall, the way people are used to watching poles. In fact, in
this sample of speech watchers, which is normal, it's a little more democratic
than the public is at large. Yeah, well, at least they're mentioning
it, right, But listen, listen to the number on it. This
is this is how desperate they Democrats are for any kind of good news.
And anytime Joe Biden completed a sentence, it was a major victory for these
people kind of like, uh, I don't want to go there, but
you know, you know what I mean. It's kind of like Joe Biden's
special, you know, And so anytime he's able to achieve some minor thing
like walking in the right direction or completing a sentence without mumbling through the words,
they consider that to be a tourative force. It's Churchillian as far as
they're concerned. So it's gotten to that point. And you know what I'm
talking about being special, So he's he's kind of like, you know,
any little step that he takes is applauded. And so these are the people
responding to this. Find this When a Democrat is president, more Democrats tend
to overrepresent and tune into the speech. Same thing happens on the Republican side
when a Republican is president. So why even do the poll then, I
mean, if there's going to be this much qualification of the poll on the
part of the Sea and End guy, he's talking us out of actually believing
in any credibility of the poll before he tells us what the poll results are,
which is really interesting, And he spends almost thirty seconds telling us that
this poll really doesn't mean anything, but he's gonna tell us about it anyway.
The our makeup hears about thirty seven percent Democratic, thirty percent Republican,
thirty three percent independent, so about eight points more Democrat than the country is
as a whole. With that in mind, take a look at it.
Go ahead and do it anyway. And there's no way that the CNN watchers
are thirty percent Republican. I mean, there might be a chance of that,
and obviously every once in a while I'll check in, do it,
because you want to know what the enemy is up to. But still thirty
percent, no, I doubt it. These results here reaction to Biden speech.
Among those watching it tonight, thirty five percent said they had a very
positive reaction, twenty nine percent somewhat positive reaction. That's sixty four percent their
total, and thirty five percent had a negative reaction. Who wouldn't, I
mean, after sitting through an hour of some screaming, snarling, dippy old
man, I mean, everything was negative. There was no positivity there at
all, And of course I would expect that from Joe Biden doesn't have to
be but he he went, he took it to a whole new level of
snarl and yelling and you know, shaming the US Supreme Court. It was
just we we can look at that very positive number. How does that compare
with Biden's speeches to joint sessions of Congress past here, Well, you can
see thirty five percent this year, thirty four percent in twenty twenty three,
forty one percent in twenty twenty two, and fifty one percent twenty twenty one.
His poll numbers go down here with reviews of his speech, kind of
like they have overall with his job approval ratings. Biden's policies will they move
the United States in the right direction or wrong direction? Sixty two percent said
they're going to move in the right direction. Thirty eight percent said they're going
to move the country in the wrong direction. But keep that there's there's no
way that sixty two percent of people watching this, I guess there is a
way. Since they're mostly Democrats, they have to say that. But sixty
two percent think that Biden's policies are taking it will take us in the right
direction. There's no chance, although again he goes back and kind of waters
down the effect of the number. Keep that an eye on that. Sixty
two percent, because we also asked how people felt that way prior to the
speech, and if you compare here, before the speech started, these speech
watchers only forty five percent said Biden's policy would move the US in the right
direction. With watching the speech, that went up from forty five percent to
sixty two percent. Just no way, there's no way that that. It
went up almost twenty points before and after the speech, and there was nothing
that Joe Biden said in any way, shape or form related to policy whatever
that could have possibly. I mean, again, you have to understand that
people watch CNN and Republicans don't watch CNN. Republicans aren't checking out what Anderson
Cooper, Gloria Vanderbilt's son has to say. They're just not doing it.
And Jake Tapper and all these other clowns. There's no way but forty five
to sixty two. So this is the spin after all this. I mean,
you had Joe Scarborough talking about this was a brilliant, this is amazing,
Tour de forrest whatever, So it didn't really matter what came out of
Joe Biden's mouth. They were gonna lavish praise on him because he actually got
there. I guess I mean, he still hardly knew where he was going.
He was so embarrassing and he was really super mean, Which is why
I and I'm glad because we were able to see the real guy here and
were able to see what we're truly up against for twenty twenty four and we
know that we have a fight on our hands that has to be had.
This has to be a political deathmatch, and somebody has to win and somebody
has to lose. If you had any if I had any ounce of respect
or even empathy left for Joe Biden, it absolutely went completely and totally out
the window yesterday. It was an embarrassment. He was nasty, he was
evil, He was disrespectful and disgustingly so to the US Supreme Court, he
was a bully, screamer and a liar. Other than that, the speech
was wonderful three point four or five five Sixfore, your commentary is welcome here.
It's the Almond in the Morning Show. It's All in the Morning and
it's common Sense Radio. Happy Friday to all of you and yours. Jamie
Allman here with you one a Fournite and patriots. You're in the right place.
So if you just want to make sure you know exactly what the playing
field is here. Uh, and and how you should have no illusions about
what the left and what the Democrats are after. And Amy, hang on,
I'll take your call here in a second. Uh. The insufferable intoxicated
lush Nicole Wallace is on MSNBC and she lays it out here. This is
this is this is what the Democrats and what the left envision for the next
eight months about them apple speech for me. And then this moves out this
is what the fourth So you know we've watched this before. I think that
grabbing the room by you know, he started with World War Two and the
Civil War and rooted the threat facing our country from my predecessor in those two
you know, epic battles, and then he quit it run a wagon.
It was like a punch in the face every Republican in the room. And
that's how it started. Yeah, the punch in the face to every Republican
in the room. If that's how they want to play the game, we
know how to punch. And we actually absolutely have one of the best pugilists
on the planet in the form of Donald J. Trump. And let's not
hold back this is war and I'm happy about it. Amy Live One,
Good morning, How are you doing? Thanks for calling the show. I'm
great, How are you good? Good? What's up? Well? You
know, I just I'm so tired of everybody talking about how, you know,
Joe Biden goes to church every Sunday and Donald Trump doesn't. But then
last night, you know, he just praised his abortion and I don't understand
how the Catholic Church even gives him communion. It just makes me sick.
Well, yeah, yeah, because he's he's he's a special one, that's
why. Because he has special dispensation. And I don't think he goes to
church every Sunday either, Not that it necessarily matters, but if you're going
to toubt yourself as this devout you know, Catholic or what have you,
then maybe maybe you probably should. But the idea that he can actually also,
you know, for a decision made by a Supreme Court regarding overturning Roe
versus Wade, for him to decide that that's going to be his time to
basically threaten the Supreme Court for making its decision. At that point, all
bets are off. I mean, that was really really bad. It's evil.
It's it just he just looked like an evil, just horrible person.
Well because he is, but it just, you know, I just I've
just seen in the media so many times how they're like, oh, you
know, Donald Trump didn't even go to church, and look at Joe Biden
leaving church. Well cares if those are your beliefs. I mean, at
that point, I don't. I don't understand how he's welcome in the Catholic
Church. Yeah, at least at least Donald Trump is honest about it.
And and he he doesn't go to church, uh and doesn't push himself out
there as some kind of pure person uh and is vulnerable and everything else.
I'll take one of those people over some so called church going goodie guy any
day. And that's why it just is so infuriating that nobody calls him out.
No, yeah, no, they won't. And and and it's too
bad that we don't have more Republicans doing that. I mean, you know
exactly, We've We've got We've got Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Green. I
mean, that's it. Yesterday at the State of a City of Union address,
you could tell look how unified all of these people wore on the Democrat
side. You know, all the women wearing their white dresses, uh,
in supportive abortion, you know, but but at least, but at least
they're unified on the matter. I mean, uh, we can't even be
unified against killing babies. It's like nobody, why why not have a Why
not have the women of the Republican Party dressed in black then, you know
what I mean? Or do something instead of having poor Marjorie Taylor Green,
the only one with the make America Great Again had on a T shirt.
It's like, it's pretty crazy, right, Well, we're chickens, That's
what it is. Everybody's so worried about offending somebody or you know, it's
it's so disappointing. And and why didn't Donald Trump? He did a pre
buddle, but why didn't Donald Trump do the Republican rebuttal to the State of
the Union address? That would have been perfect, that would have shown a
Republican party with some guts, And instead we had this weird Katie Britt in
her kitchen thing. I get what they were trying to do, which was,
you know, well let's get let's get a softer tone. And Katie
Britt is the is the angst ridden mom and wife, and like, I
get it, lots of people feel that way. But her delivery and everything
else was so weird and I couldn't get my hands around it. It was
really creepy. And why not just go ahead and play the game the correct
way with the best quarterback you have and let him let her rip. I
don't understand why they didn't do that. Well, we never do. We
never do. We always have this this weird plan that they think, you
know, if we design it perfectly or we do this perfectly, it's gonna
it's gonna work, and it never does. Yeah, no doubt about it.
I just you know. And I'm glad he did the pre bubble because
and it's so funny how preciate Trump always is, because here he is giving
the rebuddle, and thank goodness, we at least had that, because the
rebuddle, the official one, was terrible. I think in words it was
perfect, but in delivery it was just way out there and weird. And
so I'm glad we actually had something to play with there from the Republican side,
right right. Well. And the thing is, like you said,
she I think what she was saying was really good, but yes, her
eyes and her weird smile and her kind of starting to cry. Yeah,
lost, I was waiting, you know, once they saw the replay,
I was waiting for like a one eight hundred number to kind of roll across
the bottom for some something. You know. It was so I was actually
listening to it as opposed to watching it, and so listening to it was
even weirder, especially since I got into it mid stream and so and so
I was like, I was like, what is this could have imag what
my story? I mean, I was just like, what is she crying?
Or like, what's happening here? Anyway? God, you know,
I'm sure she's she's a good person and she tried. Oh yeah, absolutely,
all right, Amy, Well thank you for calling that position, I
mean, very bad position. Yeah. I mean you had to come up
with something. And she is really well put together in terms of her policies
and her positioning, so I'll give her that. It just was I I
just wish a couple of Republicans would have just like one rebuttal that didn't have
some thing attached to it that was distracting, you know, like remember Marco
Rubio gulping water, and you know, it just was college. Since we
can't do so get Trump up there? You know who can actually you know
that can withhold the pressure? I mean, just or why not Marjorie Taylor
Green? You know, I mean why not somebody of that of that ILK
who's a fighter? You know? All right, Well, thank you,
Amy. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and thanks for listening to
the show. Thank you, all right, see you, Jimmy talent is
on the way. This is a fancy Friday, it's common sense Radio.
And yeah, do we know why Trump didn't do the rebuttal? What's wrong
with the Republican Party anyway? That's at least we had his prebuddle though the
All New what all four nine? The Patriots? Should I get figure out
why President Trump wasn't chosen to do the official rebuttal. I feel like it
was a great opportunity that ultimately was missed. Since we know that Trump is
going to be running against Joe Biden in twenty twenty four, so it's not
like that's mystery now. And so I'm not quite sure why the Republican Party
didn't go ahead and jump right out of the blocks and say, hey,
let's go ahead and have Trump to the rebuttal. It is perfect. I
don't think there are any rules as to who does the rebuttal for the Republican
Party. And Mind is on the run from his record and lying like crazy
to try and escape accountability for the horrific devastation he and his party have created,
all the while they continue the very policies that are causing this horror show
to go. I mean, why wouldn't he do it? And what's the
Republican Party trying to achieve by having this weird Katie Britt thing going on as
a rebuttal that made pretty much everybody on the planet uncomfortable. Never could have
imagined what my story would entail. To think about what the American Dream can
do across to just one generation in just one lifetime. It's truly breathtaking.
But is this a pamper's commercial or like, what is this? And I
but again, I love the content, The content was great, the the
acting was just too much. Right now, the American Dream has turned into
a nightmare for so many families. I mean, and it's true though,
but she went from this like smiling, gushy almost to the point where it
seemed like she was crying because I was listening to it to this, you
know, her face just immediately changed into this you know, drawn face and
the nightmare thing. It was like, okay, wow, that was that
was quite a transition there, Katie Brett. Anyway, good person, great
content, weird, creepy delivery for sure, But who am I to critique
that? Jim tallon How you doing my friend? Former Senator Jim tallant on
the show, How you doing with my friend? I'm doing very well,
Jamie. So, uh, my guess is I'm sorry, I'm addressing the
point my question. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So my guess is that
they wanted two speeches instead of one. I mean, if if Trump gives
the rebuttal, we get one speech. I mean, I if Trump does
a prebuddle and then she does the rebuttle, we get to So that's probably
that's And as to the delivery, you know, the only thing I'll say
is it's kind. It's it's you know, the manner in which you give
a speech. Different people like different kinds of things. Yeah, right,
so there probably was some idea about targeting particular groups with that. I mean,
you know, her speech was obviously very different in delivery than Trump's and
they both they both made the same points. I mean overall, I was
pleased because I think they focused on what Biden's policies are doing to the American
people, contrasted that with what things were like when President Trump was in office,
which I think is the main message. And no, I have to
say, I was out to dinner last night, so I've only seen some
clips of what she did, and I've looked at a transcript of what Biden
did. And by the way, this is interesting. The transcript I got
from a website of a competitor, so I want to use, so I
won't mention who it is. And it did not contain the language relating to
Gaza. And I had said yesterday I did a couple of interviews, and
I said, I bet they're writing the Middle Eastern language right now, and
they can't decide what they're going to say. Now. I may have missed
it. It's not like I read very closely every word of that speech,
but I did scan it twice and I didn't see anything on Gaza. And
I'm wondering if they wrote that and added it very late. Yeah, they
can't decide what to say because they're caught in the political mind and he's desperate
politically in a lot of ways, but including the Middle East. Yeah.
Well, so really there was obviously a difference in style between the rebuttal from
Katie Britt and this and biden speechs Biden was. I mean, I guess
this is what the Democrats want, is they want somebody to scream and yell
and shame the US Supreme Court and do all kinds of things that are really
truly just kind of vile and unbecoming. But that's what the Democrats want because
he's being widely praised for it. And so as long as he just raised
his voice and screamed at people and scowled and snarled, that was good enough
for them, as opposed to just watching him stumble and not know where he
is. So I guess their preference is to have him be just an angry,
stumbling old man as supposed to just a stumbling old man. Well,
my guess is that the both what he said and the manner of it.
Well, first, it's one of two things. One of them is that
may have been the best style to get him through the speech. Yeah,
in other words, you know, yelling and everything. It might have been
easier for him than actually, you know, if you look at a well
delivered speech, you know how it goes. Yeah, there are moments when
you go when you when you're quieter, and then you build it up and
you have a climax and all that sort of thing. But the other possibility
is that they're trying to reinforce their base and some parts of which they're losing
now. And you know when that happens, when you think you're losing your
base as a politician, the first thing you want to do is get them
back. I mean, that's more important than almost anything else I'm speculating now.
I mean, I don't know. I'm also assuming a logic to it.
It may not have been there where they just obviously parts of that speech
were thrown together. But I mean, the basic message is what I thought.
Starts off saying things are great and it's because of me, and then
things are terrible and it's because of the Republicans, and then a bunch of
promises, and then introduce some sympathetic people, so you're hoping everybody has to
applaud at the end. I mean, that's really where it was, you
know, And this point in which he shamed the Supreme Court over the overturning
of Roe versus Waged. Obviously, that was designed, and the whole thing
is designed because the Democrat Party wants more than anything to have the abortion issue
back at the federal level. They want, they want, they want this
more than anything. And unfortunately there are a lot of Republicans talking about federalizing
abortion laws again after we work so hard to overturn Rovers's way and send them
back to the States. But this is an indication, including all the women
in white and all this kind of stuff, they want abortion to be an
issue in twenty twenty four, and we shouldn't let them have it. Yeah,
in part, that's the process of elimination, which is how politicians think.
I mean, the first thing you do is eliminate the things you can't
say, and then you choose from what remains, and this is one of
the things they can say. Now, you notice what he did not address
is the fact that the consumer Price Index has gone up eighteen percent under his
stewardship. Food has gone up twenty percent. The median income is down in
real terms as against inflation thirty six hundred dollars a year. So the average
American. It's like they took a pay cut of three hundred dollars a month.
It's just a credit card debt is at a record level one point one
trillion, I mean, and then nine million people and this is what they
admit to have crossed the border under Biden. Every month there have been more
people under Biden than in the highest month under Trump. And it's directly because,
I mean, there is no question they took office and deliberately dismantled the
arrangement, the architecture that Trump's people had set up. It took President Trump
because it took some time. It took a couple about eighteen months, I
think, for them to put in place the policies that got control of the
border, and they dismantled it in the first couple of months and ever since,
because they dismantled the policy and the message it sent, if you can
get to the border, you can get in. We're in this situation.
And naturally it doesn't talk about any of that, so you know, it
was about what I expected. But I am interested. I'm going to look
at that transcript again to make certain that there was no discussion of Israel and
what is this port in Kaza. I mean, nobody's ever suggested the problem
with getting aid to the to Gaza. Isn't that logistical? It's Hamas,
you know, yeah, I mean if you give aid, you if you
just send an aid to Gaza right now, you're sending an aid to Hamas.
That is what they just take it all so you know, they'll eat.
The Israelis are getting as much aid as they can get in without giving
it to Hamas. Will be like us sending aid to the Nazis. It's
like us sending aid to burchase garden right in nineteen forty three. I mean,
you know, no, you don't do that well in the aid that's
already been given, and keeping in mind that Israel is the one that has
been giving them electricity everything else out of the goodness of their hearts actually,
but Hamas is intercepting it. And if the Gazans want food and water,
just ask Kamas because they have it. So one thing that's interesting is that
Kamala Harris the other day flat out call for a cease fire. I mean,
is that the is that the Biden administration policy? Well, I mean
we don't know. Uh, they're ping ponging back and forth because of the
political problems they're in. And by the way, everybody in the Middle East
can see how desperate they are politically, So we're going to get played in
the next date or nine months. I mean, just take I mean and
not just by Hamas. I mean like the Saudis, for example. Know
how badly we screwed up our relationship with them, and they're they're going to
try and get as much as they can out of us without you know,
without agreeing to anything. They want to wait until after the election, you
know, to get serious. I mean, it's just his Middle Eastern policy
has been an utter disaster. And the reason is we've talked about this before.
He actually believes that we can get peace in the Middle East and protect
our interests by a partnership with Iran, which everybody in the regime thinks,
in the in the region thinks it's crazy, because it is crazy. Yeah,
I mean, Hamas has built a network of proxies, you know,
and supply depots and supply chains because they want to control the region. And
what we should have been doing was what Trump was doing, which is partnering
with the Gulf States. You know, the UAE has normalized relationships with Iran
because of Biden's policies saying well, if you guys are going to be that
crazy, we'll cut the best deal we can with their run. So,
look, we need President Trump back. I mean, let's just say it,
okay, because if nothing just common sense, you know, we need
back in the White House. Well, are we going to have enough Republican
support of that? I just feel like even last night it's like we've got
We've got Trump, Marjorie Taylor Green and everybody else is just kind of like
really quiet and demure and everything else. So are we gonna be able to
do this with the I didn't watch the speech, but absolutely we can pull
the coalition together. I mean, this is not really any different than any
other situation where you had a set up prime you know, primaries, you're
gonna have some people who are disappointed, and and the person who wins needs
to do what the president is now doing, which is, uh, you
focus on the messages that unite everybody, and the message that unites everybody,
and it's also very good for reaching out to undecided voters. Independence is Look,
I mean it's the truth. It was. It was things were pretty
good. Under President Trump. They've been terrible under Biden, and they can
be good again. And I think if we talk about that absolutely now.
Is everybody who's gonna vote for Donald Trump super enthusiastic about Donald Trump? No,
I mean was the case with any politician. I mean, there are
all There were people who went in when I was running and looked at the
beaut and said, uh, I guess I'll vote for talent. Yeah,
but those those cost the count too, right, and and those are the
people we need. It is interesting how Biden, in his attack on the
US Supreme Court, also seemingly attacked the one remaining functional branch of government,
which which which must actually be uh be the reason why it also felt good
to attack them, because uh they're they're the they're the one branch of government
that seems to actually have a guidepost uh and and have a mission and of
course it's constitutionally based hopefully uh and and and it's it's I don't think it's
any accident that that's that he targeted them, uh with that, with that
shameful uh threat and beyond, so I think that was part of it.
Well, Jamie, let let me let me say this, uh A robust
and independent judiciary is an absolute necessity in a in a free country, in
a republic or democracy, it really is. And the State of the Union
address is not the place to play political games with that issue. Now,
if there's something the courts are doing that you really think is hurting the people
and you want to talk about it in a serious way, I guess you
can do that, but you should not do what he did. I mean,
I know we don't like to talk about norms anymore, but you know
they're ones accusing the President Trump of violating norms. I mean, you really
should not do that in that way in a State of the Union address.
And I cringe even today, you know when I see that sort of thing
happening. But I know why they did it. It's politics. They don't
want to talk about the big issues that I just discussed. They don't want
to talk about the economy, they don't want to talk about the border,
they don't want to talk about crime, and they don't want to talk about
the disasters in Eastern Europe and in the Middle East. Uh And because those
have all happened on his watch because of his policies. Yeah, and a
disaster at the border. Obviously that's in facting everybody exactly exactly. And so
again I mean I I do, I do want us that's a coalition I'm
a part of. Uh. I don't want us to ping pong from triumphalism
to then well can we do it? You know what I mean. It's
it's it's gonna be tough, but but we absolutely can do it. And
I think we've gotten a good start now, I really do. So,
Yeah, let's just go out and finish the job in the next eight months.
Yeah, no doubt about it. We just need all hands on deck.
And unfortunately, I sometimes feel like some of these guys aren't aren't read
ready to rock and roll. But we'll see, we'll see. But you
know what, Jamie listen, I mean, really look for it when you
like you see Republican congressman and senators and what they're saying. I remember,
the media is not going to feature the Republics who are saying good things about
Trump or or who are you know, you know, they're going to feature
the few who say something that's questionable. But I everybody wants to win,
and and that's a very powerful motive for politicians. I guarantee you. Okay,
yeah, no, I'm I'm I'm with you on that level, buddy.
I appreciate you, and I think I think it's just one you know,
like Mitch McConnell. You know, for a while, you know,
he he didn't initially endorse Donald Trump. Uh, and then the endorsement came
as he quit basically uh. And I don't blame him for doing that.
And it just seems to me that they're just the energy wasn't there. And
it seems like he quit because he knew that he was no longer really gonna
do what he was doing, uh, if Trump came back. And so
I don't know, I think there's a lot there. I just I just
want us to want us to get on the stick and and and have everybody
on board. Can I point I'll just point on something. McConnell and Trump.
So in the first year of the Trump administration, they had some dust
ups and they were both attacking each other, yekay, and then they had
a meeting, which I believe McConnell instigated, and for the next three years
they really worked well together. I mean, you can just go back and
look at Okay, So this is the thing with politicians. They don't have
to love each other. They just have to be professional, and I think
they both were. And I think mcconald' did a really good job. Well
we could go down the list of it, but in any event, he's
leaving the stage. He did what he needed to do. He endorsed Trump,
and he'll say good things for the whole ticket, including the presidential level.
And let's accept yes for an answer. You know, well, of
all the things that people are critical of Mitch McCowell, about the one really
great thing he did, I think could possibly outweigh all of the crazy things
and the things that make him the feeling about him negatively. And the fact
that he intervened on the Merrick Garland Supreme Court appointment actually not only save the
Supreme Court, but quite possibly could have helped Donald Trump get elected because you
had that therefore, he had an open seat, and that up the stakes
of the election considerably with that open seat there. And so McConnell, that
was that was a pretty big thing that he did, that was very very
helpful to us. Well, I'll tell you another thing, and I've got
to go back and look at this. We don't get these facts out well
enough. You and I have discussed that online and offline. But President Trump
had one of the most aggressive regulatory reform and relief agendas. I mean,
he did a lot in the executive branch, and the Congress at the beginning
of the Congress passed a number of bills to get rid of Obama Era regularly,
including in the Senate. McConnell just powered those through. And he was
able to do that because there's a special law that allows you to in the
Senate to pass bills overturning regulations within like I forget, I think it's like
ninety days after the issue and it can't be filibuster. So and mcconnall just
ran those I mean, work right with the Trump administration in doing it.
And there's a lot of examples of this that you know, and I understand
why. It's not like the media is talking about this all the time,
but there's a lot of Trump's agenda. People point to the Obamacare replacement.
Well, it's not McConnell's fault that McCain voted the way he did. I
mean, I know, mc you know I worked with McCain, and you
know you can't couldn't They him vote the way you wanted. So people are
working together a lot more than you know than is evident from what the media
is telling us. So yeah, I think I think we're in pretty good
shape. We just focus on the right things and work very hard. Yeah,
I'm with you, man, need need that energy too, all right,
