night to the Joint Session of Congress. I do have
audio clips, so I basically watched it last night and
then I re listened to it again today all seventeen
hours of it each time. And no, it wasn't that long,
but it was like the longest. It was the biggest
speech ever. It was longer than even Bill Clinton's long speeches.
So yeah, I went on for a while. It's like
two hours or so. I think it was like what
did clock in? Like an hour fifty minutes or something
over forty five minutes. Very lengthy, So sorry, what did
you think? Seven four, five, seven eleven ten.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Continuing with the phone calls, here we go to Marvin
welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Hello Marvin, oh, hello, thanks for having.
Speaker 4: Me my call.
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, is a democratic perspective. I've been here in
this morning, your show and all your listeners with their opinion.
Speaker 4: From the republic Party.
Speaker 3: But it didn't have anything to do with a kid
that was would bring damn it colors with cancer. It
was about the line, the line, Donald Trump, you continue
the line, you continue the band base Democrats for no reason,
he continued.
Speaker 4: Us ain't nobody.
Speaker 3: Fact checking every day customs of people get on your
phone and they say three hundred and fifty billion dollars,
we'll give it to you.
Speaker 4: You correct.
Speaker 3: Everybody knows that's so, it's not true.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard Hey, Marvin, have you ever heard
me talk about the funding for Ukraine?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: I have, And what have I said about it?
Speaker 3: You have said it was three hundred and fifty million,
a billion dollars to give it to Ukraine age and
you have continued you haven't.
Speaker 1: You haven't heard me talk about it?
Speaker 3: Then I have, so, sir, and you continue to let
people come on your show.
Speaker 1: Now, No, see, Marvin, See, here's the thing. I know
what I say because like I do, I do the
prep to know what to say, and I have been
very I have said this repeatedly, Marvin. I have said
this repeatedly. See because now you're lying. What I have
said repeatedly is that people think that all of the
aid that went to Ukraine was cash out the door.
And that's not the case.
Speaker 4: I understand.
Speaker 1: I broke down the I broke down the numbers on
the Ukraine Fund Ukraine funding on Monday. I broke them
all down.
Speaker 3: Like I said, what's again, what you have given to
forret What do you.
Speaker 1: Mean it's not correct? I cited left I cited left wing,
a left wing publication, their breakdown of the numbers. Yes,
so how Marvin, how much money? How much money has
gone to Ukraine? Marvin, how much has gone to Ukraine?
Speaker 5: And that's what we're going to continue to.
Speaker 1: Fight, Marvin, Marvin, Marvin that you can believe all you
can believe that all you want, Marvin, Like I said
before the Marvin, I said, Marvin, Marvin, Marvin, Marvin, Marvin, Marvin.
First off, you're not going to be able to fill
a buster me on the show, because well no, Marvin,
say you can't even can you help yourself? Hang on, Marvin,
can you Marvin, can you help yourself here? Can you
even stop yourself? Like, can you just not speak for a.
Speaker 5: Second, well a minute, ninety seconds before you hang up?
Speaker 1: Well, you've already you've already been on for three minutes almost,
So that's a lie too. So that's a lie as well.
So all I'm trying to do is talk with you
about the things that you are asserting. And I give
people a lot of time, particularly those who disagree with me,
because I find these to be better conversations to illuminate
and to enlighten than people who just agree with me.
So I'm asking you whether you know what the Ukraine
funding breakdown is.
Speaker 5: Oh, yes, I do not have any fun of me apologize,
I'm right now, So I don't have a computer in
find me right now, I can look up the numbers
for that.
Speaker 1: Sake, all right, So what's the total?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: No, all right, No, that's fine. No, I'm just asking.
So I'm just asking if you know if you know
what the breakdown is?
Speaker 6: Trended it out?
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's on Yeah, No, I know because I
did it on Monday. I know that. So like, so
you and I both did the same breakdown, Okay, right,
but you accused me of lying. Does that mean your
breakdown is lying as well?
Speaker 5: You allow people to come on your air?
Speaker 3: I allowed, I listened to you every day.
Speaker 5: I'll just be having a senior moment.
Speaker 3: I listened w BT every day.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that you have moment.
Speaker 3: So excuse people being crazy, because.
Speaker 1: Oh no, you're not crazy.
Speaker 6: Hey, your words, I just got Marvin Democrat word.
Speaker 5: Is God and that's the that's the line you're going
to go with. So have your next call it coming.
Speaker 1: You seem to be in a rush to get off
the You seem to be in a rush to end
the conversation.
Speaker 7: I'm not.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, okay, good right, So let me all right,
so let's move away from the Ukraine thing. Well, because
I know what I have said, you don't, that's fine,
So I will just now let me move back to
something you said. You said initially that it that uh
it didn't. The Democrats behavior didn't have anything to do
with that kid.
Speaker 5: They did not, all right.
Speaker 1: You said it's because he's Donald Trump's a liar. So
did Donald Trump lie about something regarding that kid?
Speaker 5: Okay, But so they didn't have anything to do with
the kid, Okay, in fact, he had Cancony survived, Breadcaster
isn't gonna change that.
Speaker 4: Nobody said the.
Speaker 1: Head right, So so what would be the so what
would be the downside? What would be the downside of
applauding a child who has beaten cancer?
Speaker 5: Because five seconds before that or minutes before that, he
talking to Democrats like, we're children, and you don't expect
somebody to come and give you trade for doing something
that anybody would, any kind of decently would have did
to introduce the young man. And now you upset because
we didn't give you praise because you did.
Speaker 4: Okay, so excuse me for thinking about yourself.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: So the so the Democrats were were right, and it
was the decent thing to do to withhold it was was.
Speaker 5: The circumstances we had the make a point. The Republicans
did the same thing, were Greens, and it had been
people that got up and called the President of the
United States a liar.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the reaction, Marvin, Do you remember the
reaction when Joe Wilson said that during Obama speech? Do
you remember what happened?
Speaker 5: The Republicans clapped in a ploe.
Speaker 3: That's what they ate.
Speaker 1: They did.
Speaker 4: What the Republicans clapped in a ploe.
Speaker 1: No they no, they did not. It is so no, no,
not go.
Speaker 5: Back to yeah, twenty nineteen, No, twenty sixty entry right there,
it's online.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So when Joe Wilson said you lie, the chamber
erupted in booze against him a Democratic Congress. And then
and then Joe Wilson was chastised by his fellow Republicans.
And then he called and had a conversation with Obama
where he apologized. He made a public apology about it,
and then he refused to ever talk about it again
because he didn't want to keep adding any fuel to
the fire. He was like, I've made my apology and
it's over. And Obama accepted the apology. So he expressed
regret and contritions.
Speaker 5: Right about what the Democrats doing that you don't take
us reguit for that you were senting sit down and
have to go to that measure to uh, that protest
of president of the United States.
Speaker 1: Right, So you right, So here's the so, here's the
thing it has.
Speaker 5: To be deepened to just I'm not going to announce
this child.
Speaker 3: They would announce it Donald Trump.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 1: So the fact that and this is what I said, Marvin,
And so Marvin, he's a feeling Marvin. Marvin, Marvin, Marvin,
you're spiraling, Marvin. What you are, what you've just articulated
now is exactly what I said before in the last hour,
which I know you heard because you said you listen
all day. So what I said, what I said, But
what I said in Marvin, hang on, Marvin, I'm going
to finish a freaking sentence with you. I swear what
I said in the first hour was that you Democrats
are unable to differentiate between a thirteen year old child
up in the balcony and the man at the front
of the room. And that is too and that and
that is indicative of your inn ability to think clearly
when it comes to Donald Trump, because that kid up
there did nothing to you to deserve to be shunned
as you did.
Speaker 2: He.
Speaker 4: I didn't shun him.
Speaker 2: I wasn't in the building.
Speaker 1: No, what you're you're defending the shunning. So I'm throwing
you in the group.
Speaker 5: Every every single time Donald Trump get up there and
tail lives, I want the Democrat podge a boo him
said down because the man's tail lives.
Speaker 1: Fine, that's separate fine, that's separate. You can boot boot
Donald Trump first lives. How do you defend how do
you defend shunning the child? Defend shunning the child victate
that every president brings gifts, Yes.
Speaker 5: Until that meets right addressed to the state state for
the Union of right.
Speaker 4: Who comps.
Speaker 5: So if you, if you was a bron one of
the proud boys in there.
Speaker 1: Stop doing and stop doing metaphors and analogies. Deal with
the topic that we have at hand, which is that child,
that thirteen, that thirteen Marvin. Marvin, I'm asking you, he
didn't bring a proud boy. He had a thirteen year
old kid up there. Defend defend the Democrats shunning him.
Speaker 3: No, I'm like, I say, he's shunning Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: No, they are not shunning Donald Trump. They're shunning the child. Marvin.
See and again they.
Speaker 5: Were shunning Donald trumpel mother of the just release prisoner
prisoner war.
Speaker 1: No, I wasn't talking about a prisoner of war. Yeah,
but whatever you call he was a hostage Marvin. He
was an American teacher held hostage.
Speaker 5: She was detained illegally. They had to list him under
illegal detention in orders for the for them to bey
the move forward with his act, well his official release.
That's how it works.
Speaker 1: Okay, Marvin, you have now moved to another You have
now moved on to another topic. I know you're trying
to scramble for higher ground because you cannot defend shunning
of the child, and you cannot differentiate shunning the child
with booing the president. You see them as the same thing.
And Trump has broken your brain, which is what I
said in the first hour, which I know you heard
because you listen all the time. Thank you for the call, Marvin.

to the phones and get Karmen on. Hello Karmen, thanks.
Speaker 6: For hanging on, Thank you for taking my call, peek
and sure.
Speaker 1: I can now. To be fair, I have like two
and a half minutes before the news. I'm happy to
keep you over through the news, but I just want
you to know ahead of time.
Speaker 6: Thank you. I'll try to keep it short it's generally
what I want to speak about is politics, but there's
a couple of different topics. I guess I could consider
myself somewhat extinct because I would be considered a conservative Democrat,
which I don't think there's any of those left that way.
Speaker 1: The old blue dogs.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so the party. I leave the party, the
party left me. And in regards to last night with
that teenager, I just think in general that was a
little bit discussing because we as adults, we need to
learn to separate issues and the fact that we had
this pact mentality, which is one of the problems with
our politics, I think is you're all on one side
or all on the other side. Well, that's a problem
right away. You know. I'm to the point now where
I'd like to see every elected official go on and
just put new people in. Just he came to the
debt because they don't work for us, and they seem
like they work for everybody else, and they just talk
a lot, and one person talks about this one lieing.
They all seem to lie, and that's the problem, and
that's why their ratings are so bad. And I wish
there's something you could we could do about that. You know,
the fact that everybody should have acknowledged that teenager and
also the other kid that was going to West Point,
and people didn't do that, well, shame on them. I
don't care if you're a Democrat, Republican, communist, whatever, it
shouldn't make a difference. What's good is good. You know,
you should be able to applaud what is good, and
people just can't seem to do that anymore. I will
somebody they hate everything to talk about.
Speaker 1: I think that. I think that's the I think that
might be the problem. Is when you say what's good
is good, if people have lost the ability to decipher
what is good, then it makes that kind of behavior
we saw last night more explainable.
Speaker 6: I think you are absolutely correct, and our whole society
seems to do that that way, and I just think
it's not fair. I actually feel sorry for my grandchildren
dealing with this stuff because it never used to be
like that, you know, And I just think it's sad
that everybody's on one side and you got a whole
bunch of people on the other. They mean to tell me,
there is this stuff you can deal with, and that's why,
you know, like Donald Trump or not like Donald Trump
some of the things I like a bondim At least
he's trying to do something, you know. I feel that
our government definitely is too big and it doesn't work
for the individual people anymore. You could tell by everything
it does, because if it worked for the people, you'd
be able to do something today, and if it didn't
work six months a year from now, you.
Speaker 3: Could change it.
Speaker 6: But we can't change anything once it's in place. It's
like there forever that tells you there is a problem
right away because it's not nimble.
Speaker 2: Enough at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I got you.
Speaker 4: Can you help the people?
Speaker 6: When you do that? You just can't help the people.
But I want to thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, hey, that's what I'm here for, Carmen.
I appreciate that. I appreciate the call. There the old,
the nearly extinct blue Dog Democrat, No, they Reagan Democrats.
They were called right, and these are people that heard
Kennedy say, ask what you can do for your country
and they then answered that call. And that the party
as it is formed today, the Democrat Party, does not
resemble what the party was, and nor does the Republican Party.
But does not resemble what the party was like under Kennedy.
It has changed, as Carmen said, the party left him.
All right, if you're listening to this show, you know
I try to keep up with all sorts of current events,
and I know you do too, And you've probably heard
me say get your news from multiple sources. Why well,
because it's how you detect media bias, which is why
I've been so impressed with ground News. It's an app,
and it's a website, and it combines news from around
the world in one place so you can compare coverage
and verify information. You can check it out at check
dot ground, dot news slash pete. I put the link
in the podcast description too. I started using ground News
a few months ago and more recently chose to work
with them as an affiliate because it lets me see
clearly how stories get covered and by whom. The blind
spot feature shows you which stories get ignored by the
left and the right. See for yourself check dot ground,
dot news, slash pete. Subscribe through that link and you'll
get fifteen percent off any subscription. I use the Vantage
plan to get unlimited access to every feature your subscription.
Then not only helps my podcast, but it also supports
ground news as they make the media landscape more transparent.
All right, Look, Democrats, and like, I get it, you
didn't want to have to go there and see Donald
Trapp take a victory lap. I understand that. Look, as
one who has until the last election, never had a
president that I voted for win, I know what it's
like to see somebody that you did not vote for
get up in front of everybody and take victory laps.
I understand what that feels like. And I've always urged
people keep this in mind, right because at some point
your guy is gonna win, and the other side is
going to feel like you feel right now, and so
maybe we get to a better place by not making
people feel worse. Right, maybe show a little grace or something.
I have never been able to persuade people to do that.
But here's the thing. Trump earned it. He earned the
victory lab and you may not like it, but he
earned it. He won. He won all the swing states,
he won the popular vote, he won the electoral College,
he made massive gains, he swung like all of these
counties over all these racial demographics. Like you may not
like it, but that means you just don't like that.
The majority of Americans do not agree with you. They
just don't agree with you. And I think the sooner
you kind of come to terms with that, then I
think the sooner it is, you'll be happy. I know
that's a big that's a high, Barty get over for
some people. Some people are They're not happy unless they're miserable.
I get it. The protests that we saw at the
speech last night were planned. This is widely reported, Okay,
Manu Raju over at CNN. He says, I've been in
the House chamber for the speech. I have not seen
any opposition party mount a protest like tonight. House and
Senate Democratic leaders did not join the escort committee for
the President. Democrats turned their back on him when he
entered the chamber and did not shake his hand. They
did not applaud virtually anything. Several walked down in the
middle of the speech, lots of signs in the back
being held up by Democrat members, repeated shouts of lies
and you're lying. A Democrat member, Al Green, had to
be thrown out by the sergeant at arms because he
was disrupting the speech. Democrat leaders endorsed a no applause strategy,
but Hakim Jeffries, House minority leader for Democrats, they reportedly
urged members against using signs and props and loud outbursts,
for all the good that advice did them. Matt Woking,
who is the vice president of communications for Axiom Strategies,
a consultant guy. He's like, one of the oldest and
most obvious rules of Capitol hillcomms is do not, under
any circumstances hold a sign that can be photoshopped. And
Democrats were like, hey, let's just do it anyway, because
now have you seen the photoshopping It is hilarious. All right,
let's go over and chat with Alan. Hello, Alan, welcome
to the show.
Speaker 7: Hey, Pet, you know I was going to talk about
themmbarrassment that you said Malcolm Graham was talking about.
Speaker 2: But before I.
Speaker 7: Go there, it's like, uh, I think his name was Marvin.
You need to have him on more often because he
will convince those old timey Democrats that the party has
left them. They will realize the party has left them.
I talked to a lot of them. They said I
was a Democrat, my daddy was a Democrat. And then
all of a sudden they're saying, Wow, yeah, their beliefs
is not my belief So you need to have Marvin on.
Speaker 1: More often as you'll call. I'll have them on, no doubt.
Speaker 7: Oh but but the embarrassment last night, the young kid
cancer survivor, brain cancer survivor.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, for.
Speaker 7: Him to even be there, everybody needed to recognize him.
That wasn't That wasn't anything Democrat Republican. It was the
fact of a teenager survived brain cancer. Okay, recognize the kid,
and hey, I'll tell you. I watched it off and
on I sort of go into naps. Lincoln Riley was
her parents, Her parents was there and reorganized.
Speaker 2: Was that right?
Speaker 4: Yep?
Speaker 7: Okay, Now let me ask you this Lincoln Riley bill.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 7: That was a bipartisan bill. That was a Republican Democrat bill.
You're gonna tell me those people couldn't stand up and
recognize her parents. That's the embarrassment that we're facing today.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 7: You know, I ride the roads and I look and
I see these these you know, like political signs. Okay,
I said, embarrassed to be a Democrat. That's absolutely right. Okay,
And Malcolm Graham needs to be embarrassed. Okay, and that's
pretty much all I've got to say, Pete.
Speaker 1: All right, Alan, I appreciate the call. I think uh.
I think part of the reaction we are seeing from
a lot of Democrats, uh. And I think Marvin also
is that they they know they cannot defend what occurred.
The optics are bad, the optics are terrible, and so
they're just kind of you know, flopping around on the floor,
kicking their feet and banging their fists against the floorboards
because I don't know, I don't know if there's anything
else they can do. And I think that's what we
kind of saw last night. Also, you know, stories are powerful.

The speech made you feel hopeful, said sixty eight percent,
proud fifty four percent, worried only twenty seven percent, and
angry sixteen In the speech, Trump was presidential seventy four percent,
entertaining seventy four percent, inspiring seventy one percent, unifying sixty
two percent, divisive forty six percent. Jessica Tarlov, who is
a former Democrat strategy person, now is yeah, she's a
coh on Fox's The Five. She's a Democrat, She says,
does the opposition ever look good in these things? Hide
the signs forever, Clap for normal, good things like law enforcement,
kids who beat cancer, families that have endured tragedy, iron workers.
Ignore the lies. Most of your time anyway, post good
stuff online. Don't shake canes. That's what al Green did.
He was they're shaking his cane after they threw him
out of the chamber, as was his intent was to
get removed. All right, let me go back to the
phones here. We've got Alex up first. Hey Alex, what's up?
Speaker 8: Hey Pete, how are you doing.
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm good.
Speaker 8: You might remember me. I'm the guy that wrote the
letter of support to President Trump. I read it on
your program a few weeks ago, and I just want
to say, I think that's the greatest speech I've ever
heard him give. I mean, I was so proud of
him last night. That's all I can see. I like
the part where he said the Democrats were saying that
they needed a new bill to stopped the illegal immigration,
and he said, all you need is a new president.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I mean, that's the greatest line I heard him saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually have. And it was intending to start
the show and do a whole bunch of soundbites, but
everybody wants to talk and so like I've got loaded
phone lines, so I've kind of pushed off the soundbites.
But yeah, it was a great line. It was the
best line of the speech last night.
Speaker 2: I thought.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, Alex. Yeah, I appreciate it, man,
Thanks you too. Let me go next up to Dan. Hello, Dan,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: I pete, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my call. Sure,
you know, it's really simple. If Democrats want to win
elections in the future, all they have to learn to
do is to love America more than they hate Donald Trump.
It's that easy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that might be too big of a ask.
Speaker 2: Could be, Yeah, could be. When you can't stand up
an applause for the success of a young cancer survivor,
you have no soul, none, no soul at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, this is why I said that Trump broke them,
Like they are so broken they cannot even recognize a
good thing for being a good thing, you know. And
that's a bad place to be in for them. And
and as a political party, that's a bad place.
Speaker 2: It's tough to be upsettled with that much anger. Yeah,
that much aw, that's not healthy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, Dan. I appreciate the call, buddy.
Speaker 2: Thanks sir, have a wonderful day.
Speaker 1: You too, Thank you. Let me go next to Robert. Hello, Robert,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 9: Good afternoon, Pete. It's it's rare that I get my
thunder stolen, but it's been stolen two or three times.
Just the only way I would sum it up. If
I were a Democrat, which I am not. Anyone who
listens to me here or elsewhere knows that I'm a Republican,
and I want the Democrats to stay in the wilderness
as long as possible.
Speaker 2: But if they had.
Speaker 9: Any sense, and maybe maybe someone like Anderson Clayton, who
is a Southerner, someone like James Carville, they would know
to come out of this wilderness. They need to find
someone who would do exactly the same thing that Bill
Clinton would do in almost any situation. Yet he had
his flaws, but he would have He would have stood
for that young man who wants to be a cop,
dressed in his cop uniform. And then, by the way,
it wouldn't have mattered if he was the only one
standing in his group there. He would have stood and clapped,
and then after the speech he would have gone up
to that young man DJA. I believe is his name. Yes,
he would have hugged him and he would have said, son,
I am the governor of Arkansas. Whenever you are ready,
you come to my state and I will make you
a state trooper.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing the party has moved on from
Bill Clinton, that kind of that kind of a new
Democrat they called themselves. The coalition that makes up the
Democrat Party now does not have any space for that
kind of Democrat. That's that's just where they are now, Robert,
I appreciate the call. Let me try to get a
couple more on before the news here. This is Chris. Hello, Chris, Hey, Pete,
how you doing. Hey, I'm good, what's up?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 4: First time calling. I listen to your show every now
and then. So let me just purpose by saying, I'm
not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican, thloughly independent. I
voted both ways many many times. And my whole thing
