He's a self made business executive 6 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:21.120 here to help you find your success from the New 7 00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.839 York City projects to the Avenue Montaigne in Paris.

Mark is classic 10 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:38.200 proof that the American dream is alive and well, here's 11 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.280 your host of Always in Fashion, Mark Webber. 12 00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.439 Mark Weber. The one thing I've learned as my hair 13 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.560 turns gray. This gray hair brings wisdom if you're open 14 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.600 minded and if you're open to it. Common sense is 15 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.320 the key to navigating life. There's lots of gray out there, 16 00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:58.119 not just in our hair. This black and white choices 17 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.320 would be easy, but there's always an approach. Funny thing, 18 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.879 common sense is not so common. You have to be open. 19 00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:09.280 Let me apologize to the idiots and morons out there. 20 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.920 If you're not smart, chances are you'll not be endowed 21 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.159 with common sense. I learned in business there was nothing 22 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.040 worse than a dealing with a stupid person who doesn't 23 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.599 know they're stupid. You just can't reason with them. Another 24 00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.879 lesson I learned from Albert Einstein. The quote doing the 25 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.079 same thing over and over again and expecting another outcome 26 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.599 is the definition of insanity. I'll take some poetic license 27 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.439 tonight and translate it to stupidity. Yeah, I've been thinking 28 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.079 about common sense this week. With two years of campaigning, 29 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.920 two months with the candidates lined up in a few days, 30 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.439 to think about America's choices, you have to wonder why 31 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.519 common sense is not so common left or right of 32 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.760 the political spectrum. You have to wonder in life. I 33 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.640 wake up often with dreams of work. I don't work yet. 34 00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.519 I'm dreaming while I'm working, but I'm really sleepy. The 35 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.640 retail business isn't working right now. I guess why. When 36 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:06.680 I was twenty three years old, I had a talk 37 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.039 with my boss, kind of a liberal arts discussion. A 38 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.919 man in this world, go know, I'd be so prophetic 39 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.439 in life of thinking about environmental issues. When I stated it, 40 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.000 if we could all stop eating, drinking, and breeding, we'd 41 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.080 live forever. The aras polluted the water filled with chemicals. 42 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.680 We switched the bottled water and find that the bottles 43 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.360 themselves are craving for carcinogenic chemicals. And of course, our food, 44 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.599 our processed food, which is almost all our food, is 45 00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:37.520 encompassing and overpowering and it's dangerous. Yeah, a little common sense, 46 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.039 starting with obesity and the food we eat, would be 47 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:44.439 a help in this obese nation. But tonight I'm gonna 48 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.800 fix it all because I'm going to use some common 49 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.879 sense and maybe also time for a few observations that 50 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.719 we haven't thought about in a while. You confront every day, 51 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.400 but I'll straighten out where we are in the political landscape, 52 00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:01.000 and hey, maybe indoctrinate you in the world of common sense, 53 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.360 because tonight this is common sense, it's not so common 54 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:09.199 The twenty twenty four edition now joining me the Voice 55 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.520 of Reason, my co host, my lawyer, my son Jesse Weber. 56 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.560 Good evening, everybody, good to be here. So you sound 57 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.280 a little bit like RFK. Yeah, he's going to fix 58 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.719 the whole health of our whole country. So you seem 59 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:23.639 to be in alignment with what he's about to do. 60 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.199 It's funny because I'm electioned out. I think I'm done 61 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.439 with all of the election. I've been talking about it 62 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.759 for months and months and months. I've covered it this week. 63 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:36.680 I'm done. I think it's time to hate differently. What 64 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.000 do you think about that? Do we ever need common sense? 65 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.759 I think we do? And here's a thought. Here's a thought. 66 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.159 Why don't we all agree on the obvious and leave 67 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.960 all the discussions to the philosophical What do you think 68 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:49.400 about that? 69 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.759 Of course that would require common sense? What a simple 70 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.039 approach you just laid out? Are you going to need examples? 71 00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.000 I have to think one of the biggest issues that 72 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:01.479 it was a deciding factor and the electtion men on 73 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:02.680 women's sports. 74 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:07.000 That one feels like common sense. Can't we all agree 75 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:07.560 on that one? 76 00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:11.599 But of course we can't abortion right to choose that's 77 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:13.800 a little bit more difficult. But I mean, how do 78 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.279 you not allow a woman to make her decision about 79 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.560 what she wants to do? And I don't care what 80 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.360 side of the aisle you're on. Can we all agree 81 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.399 we have a border crisis. We have a really really 82 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.639 serious problem. We may disagree on how to get it done. Again, 83 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.160 I'm electioned out, but it was quite the week. 84 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.199 Yeah, it was, and I happen to agree with you. 85 00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.920 That's the point of tonight's show. Common sense needs to rule. 86 00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.319 I want to talk about the election because that's all 87 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.040 that anybody wants to talk about, and I think it's worthwhile, 88 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:45.759 and I'm going to let you go to start, Jesse, 89 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.839 But I have a question more than anything else. I 90 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:56.199 was under the impression that identification wasn't necessary to vote, 91 00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:01.240 and in theory, it's not. To My local polling place 92 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.160 was the high school near where I live. I walked in, 93 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.240 they asked me my name. I gave them my name, 94 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.040 and they told me which table to check in with, 95 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.800 so they had my name there. And then when I 96 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.279 got to the table, they asked my address, and I 97 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.000 gave them my address and my name and they let 98 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:22.120 me vote. So it's not without some preordained or pre 99 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:26.800 work that they had me listed. Is that enough? Can 100 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:28.639 anybody just walk in and vote if the name is 101 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.959 not on a list? I suppose so. So you don't 102 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.319 have to be a citizen, Well, you need us an address? 103 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:34.160 Do you know? 104 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.040 You have to be registered to vote, And in order 105 00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:38.399 to register to vote in a. 106 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.240 Lot of states, you have to fill out the appropriate 107 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.079 paperwork like your DMV paperwork, you have to prove you're 108 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.399 a citizen at some point. You might not need your 109 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.759 ID on the day of to go into a polling place, 110 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.560 but you have to already be registered. I did an 111 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.319 absentee ballot because I'm actually registered in Long Island, but 112 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.759 I was going to be in the city and when 113 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.839 I did it, I mean I was registered to vote. 114 00:05:58.199 --> 00:05:59.800 I had to, you know, at test to who I 115 00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:02.040 was too. It wasn't so simple. And by the way, 116 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.480 if you get caught lying on any of these forms, 117 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.959 that's prison time, all right, that's no joke. So you 118 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.800 can't just realize, yeah, it's a crime fraud. You ever 119 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.519 sign anything, You ever sign any of these documents. When 120 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.519 you're doing it, you have to attest to who you are. 121 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.720 So all this talk on the Republican side that we're 122 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.240 allowing people to vote without ID is a little twisted 123 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.959 because they have to register and at some point you're 124 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.680 saying if they're not citizens, they will get caught when 125 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:32.480 they're registering. That's what you're saying. 126 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:34.959 You have to be a citizen to vote, and you can't. 127 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.120 It's not like I just go in, Hey I'm John Smith. 128 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:39.800 I'm ready to vote. Okay, sounds good. 129 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.959 It's there had to be something there for you to 130 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.680 be certified to be able to vote. And so I, look, 131 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:47.959 I do I think it would be better for people 132 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.720 to come in at their voting polls and have actual 133 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:51.439 idea to vote. 134 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:52.600 Yeah, I think that would be better. 135 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:53.839 Yeah, prove who they are. 136 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.800 But aside, Yeah, but look, I think there's already safeguards 137 00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:59.519 put in place. I'll tell you this much from the election. 138 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.560 You know who the biggest winner was out of the 139 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.000 whole election America? 140 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:05.439 Why? 141 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:10.480 Because there was no fraud, There was no election interference. 142 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:15.120 This was a very smooth, clear cut election. It was 143 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.279 so clear who the winners and the losers were. There 144 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:22.279 was no doubt cast. Now, of course Donald Trump won. 145 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.399 There's been arguments that if he didn't win, what would 146 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.920 the of argument have been. But at this point, no 147 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.000 one is saying that this election was illegitimate. They might 148 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.720 disagree with the results of it, but I think it 149 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.839 was a clean, fair, perfect election in that sense, and 150 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.639 that was a breath of fresh air to say, yeah, 151 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:40.560 it was really great. 152 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.040 So what do you think about the outcome? 153 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.519 Look, a lot of people are divided about this, about 154 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:49.720 the outcome. As they are about going into the election, 155 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.399 I think what we have to say is we have 156 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:54.839 to accept the results. No matter what side you are, 157 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.920 accept the results. You wish for success for the new 158 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:02.360 president and the administer, and try to find places to 159 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.199 come together. You know, it's interesting you look at it. 160 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:08.199 He won the popular vote and he won the electoral college. 161 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.920 You can't say seventy million people who voted for him 162 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.920 are all fascists or all love everything he says, or 163 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.920 all believe that or garbage, or you can't you just 164 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.959 can't do that. What you can say is maybe the 165 00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.319 things they voted on and maybe the things I believe 166 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:27.519 are not that dissimilar. 167 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.519 Maybe we're a lot more alike than we think. 168 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:34.080 And it's not because sure, people didn't vote for Kamala 169 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.440 Harris for inappropriate reasons because of the racist or their 170 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.840 sexist Sure, I'm sure that exists. I'm sure that exists. 171 00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.159 But when you think about what the issues are and 172 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.840 what you think about the grievances are, I imagine if 173 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:46.759 you take these people and you put them in a 174 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.639 room with people who voted for Kamala Harris, there would 175 00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:53.120 be more a greater degree of similarity than people realize. 176 00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:55.360 And I think it's a wake up call for Democrats 177 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.159 that going all the way to the left and going 178 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:02.200 very extreme on these issues is not only not resonating, 179 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:06.120 but you're not going to win. And they need to revamp. 180 00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.480 They need to set a new course and try to 181 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.480 be the party of common sense. They need to see 182 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.159 that these things they're pushing to the left are really 183 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.639 pushing people away. And I can't say that all the 184 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.399 people that voted for Donald Trump, they're probably looking for 185 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.080 that middle ground approach. And I think that that is 186 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.320 a breath of fresh air. I think that's maybe a 187 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:27.000 takeaway to move forward with. 188 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:27.840 Am I wrong? 189 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:29.840 Well, I would say to you this, I have a 190 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:31.879 question more than an answer. I'll have my own point 191 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.240 of view in a minute. When I first watched the 192 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:37.799 TV coverage the following morning, I was afraid to watch 193 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:39.879 at night. I just didn't want to go to sleep 194 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:41.679 one way or the other. And I woke up in 195 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.279 the morning, turned on my iPhone and saw who was 196 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.200 president and I was astounded. But anyway, to make a 197 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.679 long story short, the newscast is on any station, whether 198 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.840 it's Fox or CNBC. They were all genuine, Hey, the 199 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.200 country one. Like you said, Jesse, the election was fair. 200 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:00.440 We have to accept it, and we sho you wish 201 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.480 the new president good luck. I don't think that lasted 202 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:04.840 very long, did it? No? 203 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:08.000 Because people are really angry. And look, I'm going to 204 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:12.159 read you something right now. This is Jeff Bezos. Jeff Bezos, 205 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:15.559 the guy who founded the Washington Post, who we will 206 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.360 all agree is a left leaning publication. He wrote, big 207 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.720 congratulations to our forty fifth and now forty seventh president 208 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:27.200 on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation 209 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:30.799 has bigger opportunities, wishing real Donald Trump all success in 210 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.159 leading and uniting the America we all love. Do you 211 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:36.159 get a more perfect message than that from somebody who 212 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:38.840 I'm pretty sure didn't vote for Donald Trump. I don't 213 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:41.559 know for sure, But he owns a publication where they 214 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:45.080 went up into arms because he decided that the Washington 215 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:48.919 Post wouldn't endorse Donald Trump or Kamala Harris and people 216 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.320 walked off the staff. That's how left leaning that publication is. 217 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.960 So for him to write something like that, or Mark Cuban, 218 00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:58.279 who hates Donald Trump, to say he won fair and square, 219 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:02.200 that's it congratulation. That's what you're hoping to see. But 220 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:08.440 people are really really upset, and people hate Donald Trump, 221 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.240 and they're worried, and they're scared and they're fearful. So 222 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.360 if you're Donald Trump, I think this is an opportunity 223 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:16.720 to try to unite the country and say, I know 224 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.240 all of you are worried, I'm gonna do this. 225 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:20.960 I'm gonna do that. That is not my plan. That is 226 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:21.519 not my plan. 227 00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:24.279 I was reading today what his list of goals are 228 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.159 in the first few days when he becomes president. You 229 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.279 know what one of his goals is no federal ban 230 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:32.240 on abortion. He said that, So that was a big 231 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:34.840 concern that people have. If he's saying, right, that's not 232 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.639 my goal. That's not what I'm gonna do. Maybe that's 233 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:39.039 more of what he has to do to try to 234 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:39.840 bring people together. 235 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.799 Well before we go completely come by, yah, I saw 236 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:47.159 Whoopi Goldberg on the view, I saw Jimmy Kimmel, I 237 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:49.879 saw the hate stunning to come. And it's started to 238 00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.399 bother me because it's just changed. You know, these people 239 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:55.879 who've all talked about uniting, you have a president, thank god. 240 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.919 In his opening address. Towards the end, I was nervous 241 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.360 I wasn't sure he'd say it. He said he wanted 242 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.519 to unite the country. Isn't this the time that everybody 243 00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:07.000 just should suck it up and wish him luck and 244 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.039 hope that he does the right thing. I don't see 245 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:12.960 enough of it. Am I crazy or what? No? 246 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.600 No, the Attorney General of New York, the Attorney General 247 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:19.480 of New York who filed that action against Donald Trump 248 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.240 was able to get it over four hundred million dollar verdict. 249 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.960 She comes out the day after the election, hours after 250 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:30.279 he's announced to be the winner, and says, congratulations. I 251 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.840 hope we can work together, or maybe we can work together. 252 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.399 But then she goes, this is not the outcome we 253 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:38.879 were expecting, but we are ready and basically, like declaring 254 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.919 a preemptive strike, we will declare legal warfare against you 255 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.600 should you do something. I mean, that's a weird thing 256 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.480 to say. That's a weird thing to say. And I 257 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.200 was actually disturbed by the top government lawyer in New 258 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:53.879 York to make a comment like that. 259 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.720 You know, I'm afraid saying something wrong to the mailman 260 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:59.320 that'll never deliver on my mail again. These people are 261 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.600 talking to the press of the United States. They're crazy look, 262 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.080 the first thing we have to talk. I'm just saying, 263 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.039 whatever take you have on the election, whether you're euphoric 264 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:12.120 because Donald Trump won or you're miserable because he lost, 265 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.399 this is an opportunity for us to get back to 266 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.759 being one country. And as long as the elected president 267 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:23.519 is being humble in victory, and he is, he's being gracious, 268 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.799 he's saying the right things, this is the time to 269 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.120 support him. We all should want the country to survive 270 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.799 and thrive. He said it should be the golden era 271 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.559 of the United States. Come on out there. If we're 272 00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:39.240 going to anybody, listen, no matter how much you dislike Trump, 273 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.600 give him a chance. That's what I think now, Jesse, 274 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:45.559 why do you think he won? Is it? 275 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:47.919 Why do I think he won? Or why do I 276 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:49.399 think the Democrats lost? 277 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:51.840 Okay? Why did the Democrats lose? Jesse? 278 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:57.120 I am not convinced that if Kamala Harris picked a 279 00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.759 different vice president the outcome would have been different. I'm 280 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.039 not convinced that if President Biden stayed in the race 281 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.879 the outcome would have been different. This is actually a 282 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:09.159 larger issue for the Democrats. And I mentioned it before 283 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.960 that they're their own worst enemy and I think they 284 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:17.039 turned a large percentage of the American populace off. Arab 285 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:20.320 Americans had turned on the Biden administration because of their 286 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:23.039 stance on the Middle East. They just didn't vote. They 287 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.799 just didn't vote. And so I think there are people 288 00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:28.440 who voted for Donald Trump who maybe never voted for 289 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.360 him before because Kamala Harris was such an unattractive candidate 290 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.519 and they didn't like where the Democratic Party went. And 291 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:36.320 I think that's a big part of it, and just 292 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:39.159 people were upset at Democrats and just chose not to vote. 293 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:42.519 So it's not just only a referendum. It's not only 294 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:45.399 people liked what Donald Trump was representing. Sure he has 295 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:47.679 the supporters, but I think people were just so turned 296 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:50.600 off by what the Democratic Party has become that it's 297 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:51.200 a wake up call. 298 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:53.759 You know what they forget. This is a big country, 299 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.399 a big country. You know. I have friends that are 300 00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:02.120 from the Midwest. They're different, they process information differently, they 301 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:06.759 talk differently. There's something genuine about them. And when you 302 00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:10.519 start doing some of these really leftist things that went 303 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:14.679 off the left's chart, life changed and they alienated so 304 00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:16.559 many people. But you want to I'm gonna tell you 305 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.399 you want to know my favorite thing that I've heard 306 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:23.919 so far about why they lost. I had something from Politico. 307 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.519 I had it recorded. I'm going to play it right now. 308 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.279 DEM's rage against Biden's arrogance after Harris loss, Democrats are 309 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:34.480 directing their rage over losing the presidential race at Joe Biden, 310 00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:37.279 who they blame for setting up Kamala Harris for failure 311 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:40.519 by not dropping out sooner. They say his advancing age, 312 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.639 questions over his mental acuity, and deep unpopularity put Democrats 313 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.559 at a sharp disadvantage. They are livid that they were 314 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.080 forced to embrace a candidate who voters had made clear 315 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.519 they did not want, and then stayed in the race 316 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:55.679 long after it was clear he couldn't win. Jim Manley, 317 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.360 a top a to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, said, quoting, 318 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:01.960 he should and have run. This is no time to 319 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:05.159 pull punches or be concerned about anyone's feelings. He and 320 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.519 his staff have done an enormous amount of damage to 321 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:10.799 this country. End of quote. According to interviews with nearly 322 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:14.559 a dozen officials and party operatives, Biden squandered valuable months 323 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.320 only to end in disaster on the debate stage and 324 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.600 by the time he decided to pass the torch, he 325 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.720 had saddled Harris with too many challenges and far too 326 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.120 little time to build a winning case for herself. 327 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:31.799 I think that's crazy blaming Biden. The fact that the Democrats, Yeah, 328 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.480 the fact that the Democrats didn't have an open election 329 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.159 to who they could choose. They handed a Tuhar on 330 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.279 a plate. And I remind you that when she was 331 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:44.120 running for the Democratic nomination in the primary, she got 332 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.840 one percent of the vote. America voted whoever the Democrats was. 333 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:50.039 They didn't want to. I think she was one of 334 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.960 the most difficult candidates in the history of government. And 335 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.399 they're blaming Biden. They're not blaming themselves for the whole process. 336 00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:59.360 They're not blaming themselves for their what they were saying 337 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:01.639 with all to respect to her. And I made it 338 00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:05.799 unclear on this radio I had preferred Donald Trump. I 339 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:08.319 like Donald Trump. I have a history with him. I 340 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:10.839 worked with him. He was a solid citizen. He stood 341 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:13.599 up and did everything he said. Do I like everything 342 00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:16.160 he stands for? Do I like the stories about him? 343 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:17.400 Do I like some of the thing? 344 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:17.599 No? 345 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:21.400 But in reality, I liked his presidency. I liked what 346 00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:24.160 he achieved. I liked what he could have achieved if 347 00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:27.240 it wasn't for all the Russian collusion in the Ukrainian 348 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:29.640 phone call, and the hate and the vitriol that was 349 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.119 aimed at him. He had a great president that was 350 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:37.359 undermined by his fellow Americans. You ever remember when called 351 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.839 me and everyone else is saying Donald Trump, Oh Schumer, 352 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:43.920 Donald Trump taking on the CIA and the FBI. Those 353 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:46.160 are powerful people. He doesn't know what he's getting into. 354 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:52.279 That's insane. They picked the wrong candidate with the wrong message, 355 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.000 who was inarticulate and unable to capture the hearts and 356 00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.519 minds in the future of people. I think it's crazy. 357 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.039 All I want to say on that particular issue, it's 358 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.319 time for the country to heal, to get back together. 359 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:10.839 Stop the arguments and let's agree. Jesse said it best. 360 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.559 On things that are common sense, let's just agree. They 361 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.960 don't require much. On things that aren't common sense, that 362 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:23.000 are more philosophical, have a debate. But Donald Trump became 363 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:25.400 a man of the people, a billionaire man of the people, 364 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:27.000 because he knew how to talk to people and how 365 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:29.960 to deal with workers. He has a history and what 366 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:32.519 is his message this think about it. I have a 367 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:36.839 friend who wrote to me, what is his message? It's 368 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:39.519 hard to even think that I have to explain it. 369 00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:42.400 Do you want to talk about common sense, less crime, 370 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:48.039 secure social security, a strong military, a government who'll support 371 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:51.799 their allys like Israel. A guy who wants peace. He 372 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.599 said it from day one. I do not want wars. 373 00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:58.440 He doesn't want war. In the meetings, people are dying. 374 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:02.559 You can't get these people. You can't resurrect their families 375 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:05.480 who are losing their loved ones. In the case of Ukraine, 376 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:10.000 an entire generation is being wiped out. Families are growing up, 377 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:15.680 losing their children. They're male heirs, mothers are widows, children 378 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:19.400 are orphans, and it's going on and on. It's ridiculous. 379 00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:21.599 He said, I will talk to Putin. I'll solve this. 380 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:24.960 Putin has to be reason with. You can't put Pandora 381 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.440 back in the bottle. You can't put the genie back. 382 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:30.119 Whatever has happened has happened. There is going to be 383 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:32.680 a way that has their men. Russia is not going 384 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:36.480 away without anything, and Ukraine is not gonna have everything. 385 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:40.920 Who are we listening to celebrities late night hosts. They've 386 00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:44.640 been dragging down Trump from day one? What is wrong 387 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.400 with this country right now? This man stands for the 388 00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:51.880 right thing. Why should we be buying oil from our enemies, 389 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:54.599 from people who help us when we have it underground? 390 00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.240 And by the way, if you're can allow the rest 391 00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.839 of the world to drill when you wor about climate 392 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.720 change and we have the cleanest coal in the world, 393 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:06.599 wouldn't it be better if those enemies of ours stop 394 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.319 drilling and we drilled. Where is he arguing you want 395 00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:12.440 to give up on the Trump presidency? He says, come, 396 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.960 some comedian made a comment about Puerto Ricans. I can't 397 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.200 think of any group that isn't insulted any given day 398 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.000 by a thousand comedians. That's what they do. I never 399 00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:24.039 heard Trump say he didn't like Asians, or Hispanics or 400 00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:28.200 anything for that matter. Look, this is a time to 401 00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:31.240
