00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>They really are. So I've you know, John, I'm not

29
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 2>just finally with Bruce Blakeman. He's not just on the show,

30
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.280
<v Speaker 2>not justin dorsing Home. I'm taking a very active role

31
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 2>in his campaign. We talk every day, a couple of

32
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 2>times a day. My son Gabriel. As you know, John

<v Speaker 2>works for Blakeman in his office as an intern, and

34
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>I really want him to win. So I know you

35
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 2>had Kathy Hunkle speak at those great breakfasts you got

36
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 2>but on I saw the videos look like a huge event.

37
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 2>Julie Mennon was there and many many other public officials

38
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 2>at this big breakfast on Saturday morning. How did it

39
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:12.319
<v Speaker 2>go with the current governor?

40
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, she is the governor, and not only usually we

41
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:21.800
<v Speaker 1>have the entire back part of the restaurant for about

42
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 1>eighty to one hundred people, we had both sides of

43
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.919
<v Speaker 1>the restaurant this time, and she had to speak from

44
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the restaurant. Look, and I had warned

45
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>everybody that was coming the week before, Look, she is

46
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.759
<v Speaker 1>the governor. No matter where you like her, you don't

47
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 1>like her. You got to be civilized. And we had

48
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of important people there.

49
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:44.520
<v Speaker 2>We had.

50
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>People flew up from Palm Beach. The bishop from Palm

51
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Beach came up to give a prayer.

52
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:50.919
<v Speaker 2>I saw that.

53
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, in the Julie men and Mosere, like you said,

54
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 1>now the only time in our little nervous Yeah, I

55
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 1>mean the Lieutenant governor Betsy McCoy. You remember what she

56
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>did to Governor Protacky when when when Governor Patacy was

57
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 1>giving his inaugural speech or whatever, she stood up next

58
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:20.039
<v Speaker 1>to him. Yep, Well, five minutes into Governor hoko speech, Well,

59
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Betsy lookaway gets up and stands four feet away, four

60
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:31.439
<v Speaker 1>feet away from the governor. I started. I started looking

61
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>at the at the Governor's husband and the tough to

62
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.439
<v Speaker 1>Green and uh and Todd Shapiro, and I said, what

63
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>are we getting ourselves into? Now? I must say everybody

64
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>was civilized and Betsy McCoy was civilized. McCoy is all

65
00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:01.439
<v Speaker 1>about I argue, argue with everybody. I disagreed different policies,

66
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:03.039
<v Speaker 1>but be civilized to each other.

67
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 2>I think Betsy McCoy's wanning for governor in Connecticut anyway.

68
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:10.159
<v Speaker 1>Right, No, she had to pull out, so she there's

69
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>a technicality in she pulled out because of a technicality

70
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.759
<v Speaker 1>in god connecticutte but looks she's a smart lady and

71
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>but she did the right thing and was very civilized.

72
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Did Governor Hunkle walk up to you and say, please

73
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.199
<v Speaker 2>send my regards to your morning show host?

74
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely not.

75
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.199
<v Speaker 2>You know, you know what I enjoyed this morning. I

76
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 2>knew that was the answer. What I enjoyed this morning

77
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.040
<v Speaker 2>was I know you're still close with the former Vice

78
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.480
<v Speaker 2>president Mike Pence, and I played a cut earlier today

79
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.439
<v Speaker 2>something I've been saying, you know it, John, for a

80
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 2>long time. There is no such thing anymore as a

81
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.160
<v Speaker 2>common sense democrat. It's a unicorn. It's a cute saying

82
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.680
<v Speaker 2>that don't exist. This one. His name is John Betterman.

83
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 2>So I was really happy to see. I'm talking about

84
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 2>people serving now, not retired people like Governor David Patterson.

85
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 2>So it was nice to see Tom Cotton say that

86
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.480
<v Speaker 2>same exact thing with Mark Levin on Saturday Night and

87
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>listening to Mike Pence with you. He kind of said

88
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 2>the same thing. He said, Look, Republicans aren't perfect, They're

89
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 2>not perfect, but the Democrats have completely lost their minds.

90
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 1>They have completely lost their minds. And I am so

91
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 1>much disappointed in major major people in the Democratic Party

92
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:37.399
<v Speaker 1>endorsing that lunatic in Michigan and that lunatic in Minnesota.

93
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>That's gonna run. And I mean, all we want is

94
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 1>common sense. And I think the only way that the

95
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party is going to learn that is they lose

96
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 1>forty nine states. Secord did in nineteen eighty four.

97
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Remember that Reagan? Yeah, you're too younger, No I remember, no, No, no,

98
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.319
<v Speaker 2>I was, I was seventeen. It was Ronald Reagan, and

99
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 2>I do remember it.

100
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I'll tell you that. But nobody's well, somebody got

101
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.199
<v Speaker 1>up yesterday. I don't know. I didn't read the story.

102
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:17.319
<v Speaker 1>I sort of headlined some common sense. Democrats put up

103
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:22.319
<v Speaker 1>fifteen million dollars to to fight the Democratic Socialist Committee,

104
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>and the Democratic Socialist Committee is not that big. But

105
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 1>guess what they know how to wage war?

106
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, great point, exactly what?

107
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, they know how to wage war, and they

108
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>know how to go up to weak Democrats looked him

109
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 1>in the eye and said, we're gonna take you down. Okay,

110
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>you were you Remember what I did to that guy

111
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.639
<v Speaker 1>that tried to pick it my home?

112
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.120
<v Speaker 2>You were great, You were great.

113
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 1>I took him, I grabbed his arm, I held on

114
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>to it. I said, make sure they take make sure

115
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>they take the photograph of us, because the fake your

116
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>recognition equipment. We'll know in five minutes who the hell

117
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:03.639
<v Speaker 1>you really are.

118
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.160
<v Speaker 2>You were great that there. I were standing right next

119
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.199
<v Speaker 2>to you outside your home when you did that. But

120
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.759
<v Speaker 2>you're you're actually very good because you were stern in

121
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.519
<v Speaker 2>your point, but you're also very very friendly, and you

122
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.759
<v Speaker 2>cooled down that temperature. John to your credit, literally in

123
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>five minutes. I was impressed. I thought I was gonna

124
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.839
<v Speaker 2>get a little hectic there, but you did an excellent job, which,

125
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:24.639
<v Speaker 2>by the way, brings me to this one of the

126
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:27.920
<v Speaker 2>things I enjoy most on the station. It's a new feature.

127
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm not patronizing you, I'm not blowing smoke your way.

128
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 2>I really enjoy the Cat's Corner. I really enjoyed a lot.

129
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:35.079
<v Speaker 2>It's great stuff.

130
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:38.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, we've put it out and the entire the Salem

131
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:43.839
<v Speaker 1>Network is running it. Countrywide and we're running it. And

132
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.639
<v Speaker 1>you know what the cat's corner is saying in one

133
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:52.439
<v Speaker 1>minute or less, common sense, and that's where we were

134
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 1>trying to put through common sense in one minute or

135
00:07:55.279 --> 00:08:02.079
<v Speaker 1>less and it's important now. Sick. Whenever you're out in
