Donald 10 00:00:29,719 --> 00:00:32,520 Trump is doing a Q and A in the Oval 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,719 office after he announced the uh, the winning bidder for 12 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,560 the F forty seven. I don't know if that's purely 13 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,679 coincidental that he's also forty seventh president, but the new 14 00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:47,520 fighter jet. But now he's taken questions, they're all over 15 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,640 the place. At one point he called Tim Walls a loser, 16 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,880 which is fact check true. 17 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,359 Speaker 1: And so let's see here. 18 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,439 Speaker 3: Next question about Canada becoming the fifty first state. 19 00:00:58,039 --> 00:00:59,799 Speaker 4: Concerned Canada, they became the. 20 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,599 Speaker 3: Ifty first state, they would be a very very blue state. 21 00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:06,159 Speaker 4: Very very big and very very blue. 22 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,359 Speaker 5: Now there might be, but it would you know, you 23 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,359 have that artificial line that goes that straight, artific that 24 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,359 looked like it was drawn by a ruler, somebody with 25 00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:16,920 a I don't mean a ruler. 26 00:01:16,599 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 4: Like a king. 27 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 5: I mean like a ruler, like a ruler this way 28 00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:24,280 and just an artificial line that was drawn in the 29 00:01:24,359 --> 00:01:26,319 sand or in the ice. 30 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 4: And you know, can I tell Peter just you add 31 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,359 that to this country. 32 00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 5: What a beautiful landmss the most beautiful land mass anywhere 33 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,319 in the world, and it was just cut off for 34 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,040 whatever reason. 35 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,719 Speaker 4: It would be great now, is it? Liberal? Maybe? 36 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 5: But you know, a conservative until I got involved, because 37 00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:47,640 I don't care who wins up there, frankly, probably would 38 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,439 do better with a liberal than the conservative, if you 39 00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:53,640 want another truth. But just a little while ago before 40 00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:57,519 I got involved and totally changed the election, which I 41 00:01:57,519 --> 00:01:58,079 don't care. 42 00:01:57,959 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: About right towards the liberals. 43 00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 5: Probably it's our advantage actually, but the Conservatives was leading 44 00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:07,719 against I call him Governor Tutto. The conservative was leading, 45 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,919 So I don't know about that. I think Canada is 46 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,680 a place, like a lot of other places. If you 47 00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:16,719 have a good candidate, the candidate's going to win. 48 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:22,479 Speaker 6: And the two astronauts that you just helped save from space, 49 00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:25,520 they didn't get any overtime pay. We're all that extra 50 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,120 time they got five dollars a day per diem for 51 00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:31,919 two hundred eighty six days. That is fourteen hundred and 52 00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:36,759 thirty dollars in extra pay. Is there anything the administration 53 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,439 can do to get them to make them hold well? 54 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,719 Speaker 5: Nobody's ever mentioned this to me. If I have to, 55 00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:45,280 I'll pay it out of my own pocket. Okay, I'll get. 56 00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 4: It for I'll take care of that. I like that. 57 00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 5: I think I'll pay it right out of my Is 58 00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:53,560 that all? That's not a lot for what they had 59 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,719 to go through. And I want to thank Elon Musk 60 00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:59,319 by the way, because think if we don't have him, 61 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,879 you know, it's only so long even though they're in 62 00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:05,560 the capsule up there that the body starts to deteriorate 63 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,520 after nine or ten months and gets really bad after 64 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,879 fourteen fifteen months with the bones and the blood and all. 65 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 4: The things that you've been in the body very well. 66 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,639 And if we don't have Elan, they could be up 67 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,280 there a long time. 68 00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:21,879 Speaker 5: Who else is going to get him? And I just 69 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,240 want to thank him. He's going through a lot, what 70 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,199 they're doing to him. And these people are going to 71 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,159 be caught, and they're going to be caught, and they're 72 00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:32,599 going to be prosecuted. And from what they tell me, 73 00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:36,599 I see this just by watching your programs and read 74 00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:38,639 in the news. But from what they tell me, they 75 00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:40,919 could get twenty years in jail and they'll get it. 76 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,719 I'll tell you there's going to be no leniency and 77 00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:43,759 there'll be no pardons. 78 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 4: I can tell you that right now. 79 00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 6: He said fail and then you know you said this morning, 80 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000 twenty years in jail, and then maybe they'll go to 81 00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:53,120 one of these prisons in Al Salvador. 82 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: Do you think with the way that the judges have 83 00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:59,360 been issuing injunctions, it would be easier or harder to 84 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,680 send these sloid domestic terrorists to a jail in El 85 00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:05,520 Salvador than these Amas thirteen are trying to arrive with guys. 86 00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 4: Well, I view these people as terrorists just like others. 87 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 5: When I looked at those showrooms burning and those cars 88 00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:16,839 not one or two, like seven, eight ten burning exploding 89 00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:19,240 all over the place, these are terrorists. 90 00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 4: You didn't have that on January sixth. 91 00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:23,079 Speaker 5: I can tell you you didn't have anything like that 92 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,240 on January sixth, which is sort of amazing because on 93 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:32,319 January sixth, the the Democrats were talking, nobody was killed 94 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,079 other than a very beautiful young woman, Ashley Ashley Babbitt. 95 00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:41,279 Nobody was killed. And you look at what's going on 96 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,480 now with these terrorists. These are terrorist and that's an 97 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,680 organized event, you know. Take a look at their signs. 98 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,199 Speaker 4: Take a look. 99 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,079 Speaker 5: They're all made by the same sign company. A nice 100 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,879 expensive job. Now, these are the people that finance it are, 101 00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:57,000 in my opinion, in just as big a trouble as 102 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,680 the people that are setting the match and setting the fires. 103 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,680 So we'll see it's under very serious investigation by the 104 00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:07,600 FBI and by the Justice Department. These people are terrorists. 105 00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 4: Okay, going behind. 106 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 5: You, what did you say to American military families where 107 00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:18,040 seeing Elon Muskitt the pindagon today are hearing about the 108 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,639 best Parlament cuts and their thoughts are immediately going to 109 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,519 the stafy of their love once we're herman employing. 110 00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 4: Well, we're making our country strong. And when they see 111 00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:28,759 a thing like that and. 112 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,319 Speaker 5: They hear that story about Elon and China, what they 113 00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:34,639 should do is realize that The New York Times is 114 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,439 a corrupt institution. 115 00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:38,199 Speaker 4: Because I think they're the ones they knew that story 116 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:38,759 wasn't true. 117 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 5: Nobody believed that story people that when I first call, 118 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,959 they laughed when they heard the story. Nobody believed it 119 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,439 that the Pentagon was giving him a briefing on what 120 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,959 war with China was looking like and he has businesses. No, 121 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,879 they made that up because it's a good story to 122 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,759 make up. They're very dishonest people. Look, I have it 123 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,120 with the Times and you'll see more and more of it. 124 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,879 To me, it's a very very very dishonest organization. But 125 00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:09,000 a story like that has made up. It's total fiction. 126 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000 And I just wanted to make sure. I called up 127 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,360 Chief of Staff and I called up Pete and I said, 128 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,360 is it any truth to that? Absolutely not. He's there 129 00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:23,680 for Dosee, not there for China. And if you ever 130 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,600 mentioned China, I think he'd walk out of the room. 131 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,279 He wouldn't, he wouldn't take it anyway. So it's just 132 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,079 a made up story. Nobody's taken better care of the military. 133 00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:35,000 What are the things that I know the peach doing 134 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,600 is he's talking about a lot of the civilian staff 135 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,439 and we're going to get them other jobs. You know, 136 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,560 we're gonna have a lot of jobs in this country 137 00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:45,560 because but we don't want to have wasteful jobs. 138 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 4: We want to have meaningful jobs, and those were wasteful jobs. 139 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 5: Those are jobs that not only military, but jobs where 140 00:06:53,319 --> 00:06:55,439 people don't show up. We had you to take a 141 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,000 look at Department of Education. I've never seen so many 142 00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:00,839 buildings with the names owner. You go past one after another, 143 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,040 Department of Education, and they're empty. The people don't show up. 144 00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:07,600 You know why, because they have other jobs. Because they're 145 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,000 playing golf, or they're playing something. They're doing something. 146 00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 4: And we have a lot of great people, but we 147 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,199 have to move that back to the States. 148 00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 5: We're going to make our country strong and we're going 149 00:07:17,399 --> 00:07:21,000 to get people much better jobs because we have companies 150 00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:23,439 moving into our country the likes of which we've never 151 00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:28,240 seen before. Nothing like this has happened, and it's automatic. 152 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,319 They don't want to pay the tariffs. How do you 153 00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:34,120 get How do you avoid paying the tariffs? You build 154 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,439 your plant in the United States, and it's going to 155 00:07:37,439 --> 00:07:37,879 be it's. 156 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 4: A beautiful thing to see. 157 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 5: I see it so far. It's say, four trillion dollars. 158 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,480 Nobody's ever heard of them. No country's ever heard of 159 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,920 numbers like that. Four trillion dollars. And those are the 160 00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:51,879 best ones. The biggest, best chip maker in the world. 161 00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 4: I don't. 162 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 5: I'm not a fan of the Chip Act where you 163 00:07:54,759 --> 00:07:57,759 get billions away to billions of dollars away to companies 164 00:07:57,839 --> 00:08:00,399 that don't need it, and it won't bring them here. 165 00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:02,759 Speaker 4: I'm giving nothing away. 166 00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 5: All they're doing is coming here to their building because 167 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,160 they want to avoid Remember this on the tariffs too, 168 00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:09,639 because that's going to be you know, Liberation day April second. 169 00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:16,000 It's reciprocal. If they charge us, we charge them. So 170 00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:19,079 somebody say, well, how much are the tariffs very fair? 171 00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:23,800 If India as an example, it's been very bad to 172 00:08:23,959 --> 00:08:27,120 us on tariffs, they charge one hundred percent, two hundred 173 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:33,000 percent whatever they charge. Now, Europe just announce there lowering 174 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,720 the tariffs on cars. You know, we charge, like a joke, 175 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:39,480 two and a half percent. That's what this country charges. 176 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,759 Europe just announced that they're reducing their tariffs on cars. 177 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:44,759 Speaker 4: To two and a half percent. 178 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 5: It's nice, but they also have non monetary tariffs where 179 00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:50,480 they make it impossible for the cars to get in 180 00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:53,440 even without the dollars on them a dollar sizes. 181 00:08:53,919 --> 00:08:56,039 Speaker 4: It's called the non monetary tariff. 182 00:08:55,759 --> 00:08:58,879 Speaker 5: Where they put on controls where no matter what happens, 183 00:08:58,919 --> 00:09:01,159 because they don't want cars They don't want the American 184 00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:04,200 car in their market, and yet they send us millions 185 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,600 of cars.

And so as his protocol, 237 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,759 they have to reach out to other intel agencies like 238 00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:45,799 the CIA and say, hey, just to make sure he's 239 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,639 one of he's not one of your assets, is he 240 00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:50,639 And the CIA said, actually, yes, he's been working with 241 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,200 us for a while. And that's when the FBI lawyer, 242 00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:54,279 Kevin Kleinsmith. 243 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: I believe. 244 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 2: That's when he left that out of the documentation when 245 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:05,720 they filed the warrant application in the FISA court, because 246 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,279 if the court had known that Carter Page was working 247 00:12:09,399 --> 00:12:11,759 with the CIA on stuff, then the court would have 248 00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:14,440 been like, oh, well, that explains why he would be 249 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,159 going to Russia. 250 00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: He's talking to the CIA after so, no, you can't. 251 00:12:19,039 --> 00:12:19,440 You don't have. 252 00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:23,519 Speaker 2: Probable cause basically to wiretap his stuff. But if you 253 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,559 omit that fact now it's like, oh, look at this, 254 00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:28,120 he's going to rush all these times. We need to 255 00:12:28,159 --> 00:12:31,000 figure it out. Is is Trump a puppet of Putin right? 256 00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:34,519 And that's how they That's how they did it, and 257 00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:38,000 that's what it kind of smacks of this the wrap 258 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:43,480 up smear right, as Nancy Pelosi called it. Trump also 259 00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:47,080 said that he would pay the overtime pay for the astronauts. 260 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,759 Speaker 1: I don't know. I was unaware of this. 261 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 2: Peter Doocey asked Trump during this Q and A in 262 00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:59,159 the Oval office and asked him, Hey, these astronauts were 263 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,799 up there and they apparent don't get overtime pay. 264 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: They were supposed to be up there for a. 265 00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 2: Three hour tour I believe, a three hour tour, a 266 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,399 three hour tour, and ended up being up there for 267 00:13:10,519 --> 00:13:15,360 like nine months. I feel like that should be overtime pay, right, No, 268 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,519 it seems I mean that seems fair. But apparently they're 269 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,799 not eligible for the overtime pay. And so Trump wasn't 270 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,279 aware of that either before the question, he said, and 271 00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:27,000 so he was like, well, like they only get five 272 00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:28,879 bucks an hour, so they're only getting like fourteen hundred 273 00:13:28,919 --> 00:13:31,000 dollars for being up there for eight or nine months. 274 00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:33,000 So he said, yeah, that we'll look into it, and 275 00:13:33,039 --> 00:13:34,759 if I have to pay it myself, I'll pay it myself. 276 00:13:34,879 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: So I don't know. 277 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. We shall see what happens. What else, Oh, 278 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,759 Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders has for a very long time, 279 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,360 you know, tried to position himself as not of the 280 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,039 Democrat Party, kind of of the Democrat Party. I'll call 281 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,279 us with you, guys. I'll vote with you, guys. I 282 00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:00,919 agree with you on a whole bunch of stuff. But 283 00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:04,519 I'm a socialist. I'm an independent, and so therefore I'm 284 00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:07,480 not going to be a registered Democrat. I'm going to 285 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,960 run for president on the Democrat ticket, but I'm not 286 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:19,039 of you. I'm Democrat adjacent, right, And as Ed Morrissey says, 287 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,120 Sanders has tried to distance himself from the party while 288 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,919 simultaneously attempting to seize control of it. 289 00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:27,559 Speaker 1: Now, the New York Times. 290 00:14:27,399 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 2: Reports, and again this is the New York Times, or, 291 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,240 as Donald Trump calls it, the failing, corrupt. New York 292 00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:39,360 Times reports that Sanders is now urging progressives to run 293 00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:46,279 in elections as independents rather than Democrats. That would create 294 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,840 an actual split in the party. 295 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 4: Right. 296 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,519 Speaker 1: This is not in a primary. 297 00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 2: This is in a general because if you are a 298 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,679 quote independent, then you would not be running in the 299 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,080 Democrat primary. So he's saying, hey, all you Bernie bros. 300 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,360 When you're not out there trying to assassinate all of 301 00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:07,879 the Republicans on a softball field like that guy Hodgkinson did, 302 00:15:08,679 --> 00:15:13,600 then you need to be running for office as independents 303 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,000 or socialists right in the general election. New York Times 304 00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:24,679 here's their report, or part of it. Sanders's admonition came 305 00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:26,320 in an interview with The New York Times on the 306 00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:29,320 eve of a three day, five city swing through western 307 00:15:29,399 --> 00:15:34,279 states alongside Representative Alexandria Cazo Cortes of New York. He 308 00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:37,159 predicted that they would draw tens of thousands of people 309 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,279 to rally against President Trump, Elon Musk, and the influence 310 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,440 of the billionaires on the American government. The suggestion that 311 00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:48,720 would be leaders of the left should abandon the Democrat 312 00:15:48,799 --> 00:15:53,120 Party picks at a political scab that has never fully healed. Sanders, 313 00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:57,000 who is eighty three years old, a long time independent, 314 00:15:57,159 --> 00:16:01,080 has had a tense yet codependent relationship with the party 315 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:06,879 for decades. And Ed Morrisey asks a very important question. 316 00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:11,320 Is this a tactic to simply ramp up the pressure 317 00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:16,639 on Chuck Schumer to resign? Is that what this is 318 00:16:16,919 --> 00:16:20,360 designed to do? And does he then backtrack much like 319 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,320 he did with Hillary Clinton, right when he's like, I'm 320 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,799 going to run for president against Hillary Clinton, and then 321 00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:30,440 the next debate it's I'm tired of hearing about our emails. Right, 322 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,159 So he's sort of a controlled opposition inside the Democrat Party. 323 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: Is that what he's doing? There's more to this, all right? 324 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,919 Speaker 2: If you're listening to this show, you know I try 325 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,720 to keep up with all sorts of current events, and 326 00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:47,799 I know you do too, And you've probably heard me 327 00:16:47,879 --> 00:16:52,120 say get your news from multiple sources.

All right, Ed Morrissey at hot air dot com, 347 00:17:49,519 --> 00:17:57,240 writing about Bernie Sanders's call for quote independence his followers 348 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:03,799 to start running for offices against Democrats and Republicans in 349 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:10,000 general elections. Do not call this a civil war, people, 350 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:15,279 This is merely Democrats in disarray. Okay, only the Republicans 351 00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:18,119 have a civil war inside their ranks. This would go 352 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,519 beyond just challenging establishment Democrat incumbents and primaries. Morrissey rights. 353 00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:27,359 If Sanders convinces Progressives to run as independents in most states, 354 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,559 they would have to do so in the general elections. 355 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,960 They would then run against Democrats and Republicans, likely splitting 356 00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:39,000 voters on the left while allowing right leaning voters to 357 00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:43,839 unite behind the GOP nominee. That would portend an absolute 358 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:51,759 disaster for Democrats, essentially forcing a party split, or or 359 00:18:53,200 --> 00:19:00,119 it solidifies a more moderate Democrat party. See I'm what 360 00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:03,160 do I always tell you Rule Number one about Marxists 361 00:19:04,319 --> 00:19:08,440 is that they lie, right, and Bernie being a Marxist, 362 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:09,839 he lies. 363 00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: So you don't know what the actual motivation is here. 364 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 2: He could be, as I said earlier, controlled opposition inside 365 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,039 the Democrat Party. He's like a pressure release valve. So 366 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,240 you got a lot of people on the left, a 367 00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:30,240 lot of leftists inside the Democrat Party that are really 368 00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:33,920 really mad at Chuck Schumer, and they're really mad at 369 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,880 other Democrats who aren't, you know, pushing back hard enough 370 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,279 against Donald Trump. Like I guess we need to burn 371 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,839 more car dealerships or something. 372 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:41,279 Speaker 1: I don't know. 373 00:19:41,599 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 2: But if Bernie is there to offer that sort of 374 00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:54,000 a pressure release valve to the leftists, and then that 375 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:59,200 may empower the more moderates in the Democrat Party to 376 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:08,240 like rise and then ostracize some of these more leftist candidates, 377 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,400 I don't know, That's what I mean. Like all of 378 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,960 this is just speculation on my part, just trying to 379 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,279 kind of game in out in my head, and I'm 380 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,839 just operating under this you know, guiding principle that commis 381 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,519 lie and Bernie's a commy, so I like I cannot 382 00:20:23,559 --> 00:20:29,119 trust I cannot trust him. And Ed Morrisy says, one 383 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,160 has to wonder what Sanders envisions the outcome of this 384 00:20:32,279 --> 00:20:36,599 strategy is right, You have to wonder just how many 385 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,160 progressives Bernie is going to convince to commit electoral suicide. Right, 386 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,319 But maybe that's the point. You run for these offices, 387 00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:48,359 you get blown out badly, you cost Democrats elections, you 388 00:20:48,519 --> 00:20:56,440 then get blackballed, Right, maybe that's the point. If the 389 00:20:56,519 --> 00:21:03,400 party establishment finds less radical alternatives, though, they might hold 390 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,440 the blue, the deep blue districts even with a split 391 00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:12,279 on the ticket, and then that might actually rid themselves 392 00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:16,519 of the toxic influence of the cultural political Marxists for 393 00:21:16,599 --> 00:21:19,839 a while. Because the other thing about Bernie is that 394 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,319 he's lazy. He always has been. Remember this is the 395 00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:25,079 guy that got kicked out of a Kami commune because 396 00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:27,720 he wasn't doing anything, which is very on brand for 397 00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:28,440 commune's right. 398 00:21:28,519 --> 00:21:29,759 Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of their jam. 399 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 2: They they're lazy, they don't want to do the work, 400 00:21:32,519 --> 00:21:35,519 and so they just want to kind of, you know, 401 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,960 parasitically siphon off of the productive people in the in 402 00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:43,079 the commune. So maybe this is just you know, him saying, hey, 403 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,559 you go out and run, you go out and run, 404 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,279 you split these votes. And meanwhile he's just leading them 405 00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:54,799 to the slaughter rhetorically speaking. Then there's this over at Politico, 406 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,640 as Democrat sene Minoriti leader Chuck Schuma knows better than anybody, 407 00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:05,200 the Democrat base is hacked off, and not just a 408 00:22:05,319 --> 00:22:09,640 little bit, not just a little bit. They're very very man. 409 00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: Related to this actually is an NBC News poll. Have 410 00:22:13,759 --> 00:22:14,160 you heard this? 411 00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:21,039 Speaker 2: Voters' opinions of Donald Trump, JD. Van Cylon, Musk Doge, 412 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:26,680 the gop Zelenski Dei, and the Democrat Party. An NBC 413 00:22:27,559 --> 00:22:32,839 asked this breakdown is demographically of white people, white men, 414 00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:37,680 white women. So I was unaware actually that NBC News 415 00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:39,680 is now of the opinion that there are only men 416 00:22:39,759 --> 00:22:43,200 and women. But anyway, so my white men, white women 417 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,640 with the college degree and without a college degree, and 418 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:55,200 the results here show uniformity, if you will, a general agreement, 419 00:22:55,279 --> 00:22:57,759 not on everything, and there are definitely some gaps here, 420 00:22:58,279 --> 00:23:03,000 but among white men with no degree, white men with 421 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:08,319 a degree, white women with no degree. There is more 422 00:23:09,079 --> 00:23:15,400 cohesion around political favorability on those items that I listed, 423 00:23:16,279 --> 00:23:20,240 those three demographic groups, white dudes within without degrees and 424 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:25,400 white women without degrees. And then there's this one outlier 425 00:23:25,519 --> 00:23:30,960 off to the side, which is white women with college degrees, 426 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,559 and they are in like another They're not even on 427 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:41,119 another planet, They're in another universe. It's not even close 428 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,079 to any of these other groups. It's crazy. Here's a 429 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,920 great idea.

Politico reporting the 451 00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:03,440 u the intensity of the anger roiling the Democrat party 452 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,559 is at a historic level, suggesting a breach between congressional 453 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,880 Democrats and the party grassroots so severe that it could 454 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,599 reshape the twenty twenty six primary election season. 455 00:25:15,079 --> 00:25:17,039 Speaker 1: Once again, this is speculative. 456 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:24,559 Speaker 2: We don't know, as so much journalism is nowadays, but 457 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,119 I suspect part of the problem the Democrats have here 458 00:25:27,319 --> 00:25:33,039 is born out in this NBC News poll, so voters' 459 00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:36,960 opinions of Donald Trump white men forty one percent. White 460 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,960 men with no degree is a plus forty one. Okay, 461 00:25:40,079 --> 00:25:44,240 so white guys without a college degree overwhelmingly support Donald Trump. 462 00:25:44,839 --> 00:25:48,400 White men with a college degree are plus one Donald Trump. 463 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,440 White women no degree plus fourteen for Donald Trump. Favorability 464 00:25:54,279 --> 00:25:59,240 white women with a college degree negative thirty eight. This 465 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:05,160 is like the the most hyperpartisan cohort. Jd Vance. Similar 466 00:26:05,279 --> 00:26:14,839 numbers Elon Musk, similar numbers, Doge, similar swings. Republican Party, 467 00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:22,799 similar swings Vladimir Zolensky, White men with no degree negative 468 00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:26,680 five for Zelensky, White men with a degree plus eleven 469 00:26:26,839 --> 00:26:31,960 for Zelensky, white women no degree minus three White women 470 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,880 with a college degree plus fifty three. 471 00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:38,759 Speaker 1: What is the deal with that? 472 00:26:39,559 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 2: What's up with the white college degree women? Levanon Zelenski 473 00:26:45,279 --> 00:26:48,720 DEI same sort of swings. I mean, they're not even 474 00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:52,960 close to their fellow white women without degrees or their 475 00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:00,799 white male degreed counterparts. Like DEI is its negative. It's 476 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,960 underwater in every category except white women with college degrees. 477 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:13,839 That's the base now of the Democrat Party. Congressional Democrats 478 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,559 have typically enjoyed higher popularity with their voting base than 479 00:27:17,599 --> 00:27:21,400 their Republican counterparts, but the trauma of the twenty twenty 480 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:26,400 four presidential election defeat appears to have ruptured that relationship. 481 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:31,279 A review of Quinnipiac University's annual first quarter congressional polling 482 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,480 reveals that, for the first time in the poll's history, 483 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:40,480 Congressional Democrats are now underwater with their own voters in 484 00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:45,599 approval ratings. Just forty percent of Democrats approve of the 485 00:27:45,759 --> 00:27:50,799 job performance of Congressional Democrats, compared to forty nine percent 486 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:57,200 who disapprove of their own party's congressional performance. That is 487 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,640 a dramatic change from the same time last year. Now, obviously, 488 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,160 that would have been before the election, when seventy five 489 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,440 percent of Democrats approved and twenty one percent disapproved of 490 00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:12,079 their own parties members of congress. Politico says this is 491 00:28:12,279 --> 00:28:17,920 eerily reminiscent of the Republican grassroots sentiment in the period 492 00:28:18,039 --> 00:28:21,400 leading up to Donald Trump's takeover of the Republican Party. 493 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,680 The numbers are clear. No longer satisfied with the status 494 00:28:25,799 --> 00:28:29,559 quo in their party, Democrats are on the verge of 495 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:35,200 a Tea Party style intra party revolt. What have I 496 00:28:35,279 --> 00:28:40,759 been saying the parties are realigning, and the Democrat Party 497 00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:43,880 is apparently not going to be able to keep a 498 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:49,759 hold of dudes. It's going to become a female dominated 499 00:28:49,839 --> 00:28:56,839 a like college educated white female and black female college 500 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:01,440 and non college educated demographic cowort. That's where this that's 501 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,000 where it looks like this is going. And that's not 502 00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:06,079 good for the society. And it's not good now. I 503 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:11,119 don't think there's a critical mass with this kind of 504 00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:14,599 a breakdown for Democrats to ever actually then win again. 505 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: That's a problem. 506 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 2: For the party, right if they can't win, and if 507 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:28,559 they cannot keep men, particularly white men and even to 508 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:33,160 a lesser extent, black men and Hispanic men who have 509 00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:36,480 also started jumping ship from the Democrat Party. So you're 510 00:29:36,559 --> 00:29:40,160 losing these men, but that means you're losing these these 511 00:29:40,759 --> 00:29:44,440 different racial categories, these different cohorts. And what have I 512 00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:47,480 said for years that when the Democrat or the yeah, 513 00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:52,240 when the Democrat Party no longer attracts the ninety plus 514 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,680 percent of black vote that it enjoys right now, when 515 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,920 black voters start voting like all of the other racial 516 00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:04,079 demographics do, the Democrat Party is done. They can't win. 517 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,920 They need the ninety plus percent. And if you are 518 00:30:08,079 --> 00:30:13,079 alienating black men from your party and they are now 519 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,799 going independent, or they're going to Trump, or they're going 520 00:30:16,839 --> 00:30:20,680 to the Republicans, then the Democrats are finished at a 521 00:30:20,839 --> 00:30:25,240 national level winning national races. You add in the loss 522 00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:30,039 of population in states like New York and California where 523 00:30:30,079 --> 00:30:33,440 you're losing congressional seats, you're not going to be able 524 00:30:33,519 --> 00:30:38,799 to compete to control the US House. This is a 525 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,599 very big problem for Democrats, and they seem completely incapable 526 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,000 of addressing it. I played the clip yesterday Tim Walls, 527 00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:49,880 the VP nominee, who was supposed to attract all of 528 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,960 the rural dudes, and just came across as really weird 529 00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:56,039 and effeminate. Right, they don't even know how to start 530 00:30:56,039 --> 00:30:58,319 the conversation. Oh, by the way, somebody did take them 531 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,480 up on his offer for a fight. I'll tell you 532 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:00,920 in a minute. 533 00:31:02,119 --> 00:31:04,319 Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you 534 00:31:04,519 --> 00:31:05,400 so much for listening. 535 00:31:05,559 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 2: I could not do the show without your support and 536 00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:10,400 the support of the businesses that advertise on the podcast, 537 00:31:10,839 --> 00:31:12,880 So if you'd like, please support them too and tell 538 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,640 them you heard it here.

Again, 540 00:31:19,599 --> 00:31:22,119 thank you so much for listening, and don't break anything 541 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:22,759 while I'm gone.
