Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's very interesting to see what the Dems are mad about.
Let's see, they're mad about Trump's team deporting someone who
is here illegally, who is also a criminal. They're mad
about Robert F. Kennedy's team wanting to take the poisons
out of our food. And now they're mad about student
loans have to be repaid that they signed that they
(00:21):
would repay for Okay, got it.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
And they're mad about makeup. This is not what I
intend to start out with today, but the what makeup?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Makeup? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
And here this one.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, I just found it.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I literally I opened up you know, our clipping service stuff,
you know the ANBC, you know news radio clips and
all the gravyan clips, and I'm scrolling through and I
run across one. I didn't listened to it yet. I'm
just I'm just reading the title to it. And I
find it funny because so.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Wait a minute, you're just checking out the headlines. Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
As a matter of fact, I on the sound bites.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
I thought that was my job.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Well, I've learned so much from you just reading headlines.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, I've learned so much.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You know, in fact, life's just better if you just
read the headlines and move on. Place your own interpretation
onto the headlines, and then just move on. No more
critical thinking. I mean, I've decided that the Libs have
really got something going here. Life is a lot easier
if you just emote, just you know, just deal with
everything on an emotional basis, not a logical basis, and
(01:33):
then just go on.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Who cares? Life's so much easier.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Sounds good enough for me.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, Well, this caught my attention because I find it
ironic because of who's saying it. And I find it
funny too, because yesterday I did a hit with News Nation,
and uh, I have the lighting and everything in my
studio downstairs, and I also keep some makeup. It's just
(02:00):
some I don't know, it's not foundation, but it's just like.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
The powder, just to keep your forehead not so shiny, right,
That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Dragon. I put a little bit on my forehead.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I put a little bit on my nose so that
the lighting is not like there was a glaring, you know,
bright spot over here.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
TV.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
You can't do anything about the years.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Well, I can't do anything about the face. I can't
do anything about you know, the siggy old man I
can't do anything about the old man. Look, no, I
can't just least keep or maybe I should just leave
the shining part on there so they're focused more on
the bright.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Light on my nose or on my blind.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
But and there were times when I would have several
news hits during the day, and particularly whether it was
here in Denver at you know, I'd be down to
the Fox affiliate, or whether when I was the under secretary,
and you would put the makeup on, and instead of
taking all the makeup.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Off, you would just leave it off, and you know, go.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
About your business and then an hour later, go back
here and do another hit. Go about your business now,
you know, an hour later, go do another hit. Or
you might sit in a chair for a while and
they keep you know, they always come over and they
refix it and redo it, because you know, the makeup
people want to just be just perfect. And in the
days of high definition television, it really does make a difference.
So a politician wearing makeup does not surprise me or
(03:25):
bother me in the least.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah, it ain't nothing new.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
It ain't nothing new. But apparently.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
If you're on television like that's your job, such as
I don't know, maybe a light a late night Now.
They call themselves comedians, but let's just call them a
late night host because I'm not quite sure they're really comedians.
They try to be funny, but they're not. This is
(03:53):
Jimmy Kimmel at the meetings.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Maybe she's a designated driver, we learn.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
We also learned, according.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
To CBS News, that Pete Hegseth had a little makeup
studio built at the Pentagon to get.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
His face ready for TV interviews.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
He has strongly denied this. He called it a totally
fake story, and a Defense Department official added uh that
he said it makes no sense because Pete does his
own makeup, which is more embarrassing. Thanks for the help, guys,
I'll handle the next oneld. I don't know why he
would be ashamed of this. A lot of warriors wear
(04:30):
a makeup. You ever see Mel Gibson and Brave Heart,
He's got it all over. Nothing sparks fear in the
hearts of our enemies like a Defense secretary who puts
foundation on his face and a big palmful of suavecito
palmade in his hair.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Every day his career. Do what says the guy? Who
is currently wearing.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
My point, that's the point. The guy who has in
these studios a separate room where he goes and sits,
and someone who has paid pretty good money to do
nothing but make Jimmy Kimmel look good on IDFTV is
(05:10):
sitting here mocking somebody who's wearing makeup to do a
TV hit. Now, I'll tell you something else I'm surprised about.
I'm surprised that there wasn't already a makeup room somewhere
in the press office, because there's a makeup room in
(05:32):
the West Wing and it's been there for I don't know,
probably forty years or longer.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
By the way, you know who this is. This is
Lloyd Austin.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
He is a.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Four star general.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
He was the previous Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Have you ever seen him before?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
No, you know why.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
He's inside the Pentagon doing his job.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
On room every day.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Of course, they're also days when we did not know.
There were days on the end where we had no
clue where the Secretary of the Defense was because he
decided to go have surgery. You know, all surgery is
life threatening, and didn't didn't bother to tell the commander
in chief.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
He had said, is on TV now more than Ryan Seacrest.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
We're back with another DoD reform.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Americans want to join a military.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
With high clear standards. Who can meet those standards?
Speaker 7 (06:31):
Biden couldn't.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Wasn't all right?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
You know what he does do in nice job, he's
very pretty and goods is when he gets booted from
the Pentagon, he'll being able to get a job at Sephora.
The Defense secretary as a makeup proof. The Vice president
wears eyeliner. And yet somehow this administration spends all day
every day complaining about trans women ruining sports.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I'm up and then that bothers me because there's old
comparison between what Jimmy Kimmel himself is doing, what I
did last night, what other people do when they are
appearing on television, whether they're politicians or business people or
anybody that's doing a hit on the cable TV anybody.
(07:18):
How can you compare that to a male who wants
to play like pretend being a female, going and bashing
in the heads of girls in sports. But you know
this is this is supposed to be comedy.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
All right?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Can we bring out the kid there?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
There? You have it.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I just find it really stupid, really really stupid. So
there's a lot of on X. There's there's a lot
of complaining on both sides of the aisle about Alexandria
Cassia Cortes got a you know, AOC. I wish I
could just be known as MDB just you know, hey MB, MB,
(08:12):
m MDB aoc chare you know, just just one you know,
Michael Brown. I mean that's just so blase, like, you know,
just MB just you know, come on, you give me
what what are you looking at me like that for?
I mean, you're Dragon red Beard what troll B just
wanted to be MB you know, just AOC MB.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
You know what, we don't need to inflate your ego
or any larger than it already is.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I haven't completely filled the room yet. There's there's room
for growth the Dragon. There's always room for growth. There's
always room for improvement, you know, stronger, bigger, larger ego.
They complained complaining about AOC and Bernie Sanders particularly, but
AOC she's made five private jet trips to go protest
(09:05):
against the oligarchy. Now, I don't know, I do fairly
well financially, Dragon does, okay, financially where you know, we
got roofs over our heads, and we we eat pretty well,
and you know, we both have transportation, and we both
have clothes. Well, Dragon does anything but a pair of shorts,
sneakers and some T shirts. That's all he owns. I
(09:27):
think that back he's he got one suit. He's got
one I think one suit, correct, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
So he's got he's got the he's got the funeral attire.
And h AOC's got a one hundred and say seventy
five thousand dollars plus whatever it is a year's salary.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And and she has available to her, which is, you know,
not only to be used for official purposes, but she
is available to her you know, a Gulf stream or whatever.
She's you know, going somewhere on a codell a can
national delegation, a congressional trip. But when she goes somewhere
to bitch about the oligarchy, nothing says, you know, hypocrite,
(10:11):
like taking a private jet to do that. So what
are we to make? But just what do you make
of a country in which the David Brooks, the so
called moderate of the New York Times opinion pages. I
find that hilarious calls for a comprehensive national civic uprising
(10:37):
so that we can fight against the tyranny of Donald Trump.
So we got the fight against the oligarchy. Now we
got the fight against the tyranny.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
What are we to make of it?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
This is one in which the traditional thinking about how
the Democrat Party can wield power has just been crushed. Absolutely,
it's become meaningless because it's one in which voters that
are disillusioned by these repeated attempts to try to defeat Trump.
Every time they've tried to defeat Trump, they have utterly
completely failed. So their utter hopelessness does what most I mean,
(11:18):
I think with every human being, your hopelessness at some
point turns to rage. Uh Kamala Harris that she's not
channeling that fury. Who is Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Cassia Cortes.
They just finished this barn storming speaking tour of the West,
(11:40):
and what are they doing. They're filling a vacuum. They're
sketching out a roadmap for how to resist the current
administration and reinvigorate a Democrat Party that is on its deathbed.
They actually call it the fighting oligarchy tour. So here's
(12:01):
an octagenarian so called independent, who's really a socialist communist
from the all places Vermont, of course, who has spent
the last decade or more bashing the Overton window of
American politics towards the left. Just one single rally, one
little speech, one little outrage, everything, just one single thing
(12:22):
at a time. And then over here, so you got
the octagenarian on the left. Well they're both on the left,
but he's on the left. And then over here you
got aoc his thirty five year old air apparent. I
think she's the air apparent to Bernie Sanders speaking to
all these huge crowds right here in Denver, out in
(12:44):
Los Angeles, they preached to this does disturb me. This
is the chaos we talked about yesterday. Do you know
that they went to Idaho. Idaho? Yeah, the Potato state, Uh,
Potato state, Idaho. You don't get much redder, maybe other
(13:09):
than maybe say Oklahoma, you don't get much redder than Idaho.
They spoke to a crowd of twelve thousand people in Idaho.
That's a state that Trump carried by forty points or more.
They said that the organizers of the fight fighting oligarchy.
(13:29):
Crowd say that so far they've reached more than two
hundred thousand people two ndred almost a quarter million people
have turned out to see the odd Couple, which is
really what they really are. It's like Daddy and his
little girl are out there rating against income inequality, which
(13:50):
I find hilarious income inequality. Look, give me Bernie's wealth,
give me AOC's wealth. Well, and they want to also
a bit about the corrupting influence of money in politics.
Yet they don't want to get rid of money in politics.
(14:13):
They want to take your money, taxpayer money, and use
it in politics because they recognize the fundamental principle, the
fundamental it's like a law of physics when it comes
to politics. You have to have money. You have to
have money to run a campaign. Well, they don't like
the idea that a corporation might contribute, or that, you know,
(14:35):
the wealthiest person in the world, Elon Musk, might contribute.
They don't like the idea that the little people might contribute.
They want everyone to contribute. It is such a socialist
idea taxpayer funded elections. Now, she's been working hard, really hard,
trying to shed her reputation as a you know, a
left wing deleton and has in just a few years
(14:58):
she's really you got How do you give her credit?
She has become a pretty savvy and pragmatic politician, and
she obviously has grassroots appeal. How much money you think
they've raised raised? The average donation is twenty one dollars.
How much at twenty one dollars? How much do you
think they've raised on these little fight the oligarch tours?
(15:22):
I should of itself is kind of funny when you
think about it. We're gonna go fight the oligarch and
we're gonna get the little people to give us an
average of twenty one dollars, and they've raised a staggering
nine point six million dollars. Nine point six million dollars.
Now there, They ostensibly aren't running for anything. They're just
(15:44):
trying to fight the oligarchy and they've raised almost ten
million dollars to do so. They're organizing prowess is you
have to sit back and give it credit. Now they're
out there doing that. I just want you to think
about the whole photo here that let's we're not going
(16:08):
to photoshop this like Biden. We're going to look at
the entire picture, so in the middle of the picture
almost like that, Oh, who's the artist that did the
picture of the of the farmer and his wife holding
the pitchfork's I can't think of the name of that photo,
but there you have. Uh, the old farmer is Bernie
(16:31):
and his younger wife is aoc and they're standing in
the middle. Well, what happened to Gavin Newsom? He's running
a podcast? What's happened to John Fetterman. Fetterman's approval ratings
are in the toilet. Why because he's been moderate, he's
(16:52):
been supporting Israel, He's shown a willingness to at least
work with Trump, to at least have a conversation with Trump.
And that's the now do you A recent poll found
that Fetterman to be the only Democrat in office with
a net negative favorability rating, clocking in at a dismal
negative seventeen point two percent among Democrats. The one Democrat
(17:13):
that the rest of us look at and go, oh,
there's a guy we could actually talk to. Democrats themselves
look at that guy and say, oh, nope, nope, you're
you're toast. So he's at a dismal negative seventeen point
two AOC boasted a positive plus sixty net favorability in
(17:35):
the exact same poll. Harry Inton, CNN's chief data analysis, says,
it's absolutely the case if you look at the polling
right now among Democrats, that they want fighters, they do
not want compromise with Trump. So what do you think
(17:56):
this means for the twenty twenty eight election. Well, obviously
anti establishment candidates, and you've got Bernie So so you know,
the people like Hillary that got coordinated, he's out the window.
Kamala Harris, give you might as little run for governor
because you ain't gonna make a sweetheart. Your cackle's just
(18:16):
that that's over whip. So the bottom line is Alexandria
Cassia Cortez the next lead of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Mike, you're right there. This late night stuff these days
is not funny, Timmy Kimmel blah, not good. They're also political.
I mean stating that life was funny about.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Forty years ago.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
You know, you used to have Jay Leno, you had
Johnny Carson, people who were funny and they didn't have
to be complete political psychos.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
We need some meaning to go back in those days.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
There's cat again to feed meal. He he's upset. It's
breakfast time. Come on, get on that. Yeah, and jump
back to the whole pete headsec thing really quickly.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yes, because there's there's a text message I wanted to
address dude.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
But yes, I just got to get this off my chest.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
You've got people in the White House like Rachel Levine
and Sam.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Sam Brendon, Brighton.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Brinton or something like that.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
The guy that stole the pluggage from airports to steal
women's dresses.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Right, yeah, you've got those people in the White House.
But now, but only now, are we upset about a
guy wearing makeup? Yes, exact, and now we are now,
not then now right, not then now right, Okay, now
now it's funny, then it's not, and.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Are supposed to be funny.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, I you know again text messages, it's hard to
read the tone. So I don't know the tone. I
can only go by the word. So goober fifty five
ninety rides Michael. You're showcasing, and that's the key word.
You're showcasing Kimmel, who is a distant excuse me, who
(20:09):
is a distant third in the ratings, gut Failed is
kicking all their asses and he's not even on over
the air terrestrial broadcast late night talk show ratings week
in March third source, Bar Media gut Felt three point
seven million forty six percent, Colbert CBS one point eight
million twenty three percent, Kimmel ABC one point five million
(20:31):
nineteen percent foul, and NBC one million twelve percent total
eight million. I'm not showcasing Kimmel. When you're showcasing something,
you're presenting something favorable to a to general attention. You're
(20:55):
you're you're trying to You're you're, without using a word, showcasing,
you're you're putting it up on a pedestal. I'm not
putting Kimmel on a pedestal at all. I'm mocking Kimmel,
the very, the, the something more important than just Kimmel himself.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Too. One.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
This was just a random thing that appeared up that
appeared in our list of sound bites this morning, and
I found it hilariously ironic and hypocritical.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Also to which if you want to go watch that clip,
it's up at Michael says go here dot com.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
And and particularly particularly hypocritical that a guy that spends
and I'm not kidding because when when I would be
in New York or I would come to go to
the Fox affiliate in Denver and Michelle, who was a
makeup artist that worked here in Denver, would do my makeup.
I needed to be there at least, I would say,
(21:53):
thirty minutes beforehand so that she could get all the
makeup done, get the hair just right, do everything. In
New York, they would take at least that long, if
not longer, and then they follow you around. And the
same thing is true with Jimmy Kimmel. So here's Jimmy Kimmel,
a guy that, while he's wearing makeup, is mocking people
(22:15):
who are doing the same thing because they're also going
to be on television. And I just find it hilarious.
And then to Dragon's point, Rachel Levine, the ugly old bag,
the admiral I admire, Admiral Rachel Levine who tried her
(22:40):
best to take that male face and look like a woman.
You know, sometimes people joke about uniforms turn them on. Well,
not so much there. And then Sam Britton, I mean,
my guys, here's a bald headed. If I we call you,
he's a bald headed I drink like you. Dragon would
(23:00):
put on this Gaudi makeup and wear these women's dresses
that he stole from airports.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
And I think would keep the facial hair.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Yeah, I don't remember the favorite.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
He had ruby red lips, and he had like a
lot of eye makeup on and stuff.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
So yes, there are photos of Sam with a goatee,
oh good grief with the lipstick.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
And then there's one final point on when I make
about Kimmel before I get back to AOC, and that
is this the audience. Do you do? You listen to
it again? Because listen to now I know they are coached.
They have applause signs that are you know, saying applause, applause, applause.
(23:48):
So they're just like trained seals. That's why I refer
to the people that watch the view as trained seals,
because they have no clue. I mean, you know, like
most liberals, most left wing, they have no think, they
have virtually no IQ. Anyway, they're just Boo's supposed to
be funny.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
We also learned We also learned, according to CBS News,
that Pete Hegseth had a little makeup studio built at
the Pentagon to get.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
His face ready for TV interviews.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
He has strongly denied this. He called it a totally
fake story, and the Defense Department official added that he
said it makes no sense because Pete does his own makeup,
which is more embarrassing. Thanks for the help, guys, I'll
handle the next oneld.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
I don't know why he would be.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Ashamed of this.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
A lot of warriors wear a makeup.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
You ever see Mel.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Gibson and Brave Heart, He's got it all over. Nothing
sparks fear in the hearts of our enemies like a
Defense secretary who puts foundation on his face and a
big palm full of Suavecito palmade in his hair every day.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
It's now, I don't know what Swaveca Palm eight is.
I assume it's some gel that guy's wearing their hair.
I've never been a jail a product guy from my hair,
which is quite obvious if you see me in person.
But I'm showcasing not Jimmy Kimmel. I'm showcasing Jimmy Kimmel's hypocrisy.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Hypocrisy.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Now let's go back to fighting the oligarchy, because I'm
really serious about this. I think what we see emerging
is Alexander. It's not going to be David Hogg. I mean,
David Hogg's already in trouble with his fellow committee members,
his fellow travelers on the DNC about wanting to spend
what was it, twelve million, twenty million something on going
(25:47):
to primary Democratic candidates. Gee, sounds like some people the
Republican Party who want to primary Republican candidates. So the
DNC is in a little bit of disarray, and you know,
you got Dick Durbin, who's you know, running away the
I think Dick Durbin is now either the fourth or
the sixth Democrat that has announced he's not running. If
(26:09):
we can't keep control of the Senate, then you know,
we deserve to lose because the numbers are just working
out for us incredibly well. So meanwhile, while all of
that's going on, AOC and Bernie Sanders are out there
just very quietly, now not quiet when they're at the
venue themselves, but very quietly under the radar, organizing you
(26:35):
might call her a quote community organizer Matt Dust, who
used to be an advisor to Bernie Sanders, says this,
Democrats have lost working people.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Duh, you're just now figuring that out.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
He says.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
The tour is a profound message. It's starting to resonate
because it's part of a broader, unified theory of what's
happening to our democracy? Why has our government failed for
so many years to actually deliver for working people? Because
our politics is captured by very wealthy interests. So what
(27:12):
have they done? What is AOC and Bernie done? They
have rallied the Democrat base. Now what I find fascinating
too about the Democrat base if you look at these rallies,
if you go back and you look at the rally
that was held in Denver, it was a sea of
white baby boomers. Now I know, yes, there were millennials
(27:37):
and gen xers and there were all ages there, but
it was predominantly white Caucasian baby boomers. So yeah, they're
rallying around, you know, another octagenarian Bernie. But then you
got cute little, you know, AOC there, you know, with
her little squeaky voice, you know, railing against whatever she's
(27:59):
going to rat against. And I think the Democrats, whether
they want to accept it or not, they are organizing.
They're organizing the socialists. So the organizing prowess of America's
so called democratic socialists, which is what Bernie and Aoz
(28:21):
represent has put has really put in stark relief the
disarray that is gripping the moderate faction of the Democrat Party.
In fact, it's virtually non existent at this point. All
of this revolutionary because it is that they're talking about revolution.
(28:43):
It's a great kind of forward looking signal that twenty
twenty eight is going to be fertile ground for these
anti establishment candidates. The ambitions of the fighting the Oligarchy
tour go way, I think, way beyond the personal ambitions
(29:03):
and the personal prospects of both Sanders and AOC. They're
out there doing and Republicans maybe we ought to take
a lesson from this. They're looking to recruit nationwide candidates
to their cause, and after the end of the tour
made their first endorsement Abdul i say Ed, a progressive
(29:26):
socialist running for the Senate in Michigan. Now, Lsied's going
to face a really crowded primary, but the contest itself,
that particular election is seen as a bell weather for
what voters are looking for in the twenty six midterm elections,
and of course probably beyond that too, And the question
(29:47):
is whether the left wing populism that's aimed at a
working class which continues to feel that it's been left
behind can be competitive. I think we'll be a paying
attention to it.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Don't blow it off, Michael.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I'm just glad that Heads Up doesn't take makeup tips
from KJAP.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Oh. Yeah, man, I miss her.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
That's a little harsh. I mean, it was a bold
choice with the gold, but it worked. It worked, in
my opinion, it worked.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Okay, don't you miss her? Think about remember the giant
notebook she always came out with.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Well, oh, she was tiny to begin with.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
So if she's just holding the ale a five inch,
you know, the spiral notebook.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, but I wonder how many tabs were on that
notebook for every possible issue that could possibly come up,
and she'd always flip to it. But I don't know
why she always slipped to it, because it would always
be well, I really can't say anything about that, or
I don't know, or we don't we're not going to
address that, or I've already addressed that before or whatever
it was. And now you got Caroline Leve that comes
(30:56):
out without anything. Maybe one piece of paper or something
to read something President has said to her, and she
just boom boom boom boom, answers, answers, questions until the
cows come.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Oh I missed, circle back?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Oh circle back, Yeah, I'll circle back, circle back, circle back.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Well we can, we can watch her.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
She's she's she's up on uh circle Back's got her
own show on MSNBC.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
So circle back, circle back.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
So yesterday we talked about chaos, and I think this
is an extension of that same point that I made yesterday.
So you got this socialist running for Senate in Michigan.
In New York, you have a Democrat socialist, a state
assemblyman from Queens, Zo ron Mondani.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
I don't m A M A M D A n
I uh. He's running for mayor.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Now his platform just listen to this, make New York
more for sable freeze rents jack at the minimum wage
to thirty dollars an hour, which will still barely get
your buy in New York. Unless he can win. Unless
(32:15):
he can accomplish the first one, which is to make
the city more affordable, which seems to contradict the last one,
which is jacking the minimum wage up to thirty dollars.
They'll seem to be in conflict with one another. But
what do I know, But listen to this.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
As of.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
The end of the month last month, end of March,
he had raised seven million dollars. Now for a young
kind of just state assemblyman from who's a socialist who
has well let me just say the name again, Zorron
Mondani raising seven million dollars. Looking so a socialist raising
(33:04):
seven million dollars, which is a pretty good war chest,
looking to run to be the mayor of the capital
of capitalism. This is where the country is headed. This
is what we wanted. We have got to figure out
(33:25):
a way to stomp them, stomp them into oblivion. Now, unfortunately,
I'm just being honest with you as I always am.
I don't have a lot of confidence and Republicans. I
don't have a lot of confidence that they have the
cajones to stand up and just take on what it meant.
(33:48):
Because think about this, Think about it's difficult for you
because you're smart. Put on your dummy hat for a moment,
all right, If somebody told you this is when I
joked earlier in the morning about thinking like a liberal
is so much easier think about this. Someone comes to
you and says, hey, I'm going to make Denver more affordable.
(34:11):
I'm going to freeze rents and i'm gonna jack. I'm
going to follow Michael Brown's advice, and I'm going to
jack at the minimum wage in Denver to fifty two
dollars and eighty cents an hour. If you're a stupid person,
you're like, wow, I'm voting for you.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
These publicans have.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Got to learn to counter this, otherwise we will turn
into a socialist utopia, which means will just be even
more of a crap old place than we are right now.
It's very interesting to see what the Dems are mad about.
Let's see, they're mad about Trump's team deporting someone who
is here illegally, who is also a criminal. They're mad
about Robert F. Kennedy's team wanting to take the poisons
out of our food. And now they're mad about student
loans have to be repaid that they signed that they
(00:21):
would repay for Okay, got it.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
And they're mad about makeup. This is not what I
intend to start out with today, but the what makeup?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Makeup? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
And here this one.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, I just found it.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I literally I opened up you know, our clipping service stuff,
you know the ANBC, you know news radio clips and
all the gravyan clips, and I'm scrolling through and I
run across one. I didn't listened to it yet. I'm
just I'm just reading the title to it. And I
find it funny because so.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Wait a minute, you're just checking out the headlines. Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
As a matter of fact, I on the sound bites.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
I thought that was my job.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Well, I've learned so much from you just reading headlines.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, I've learned so much.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You know, in fact, life's just better if you just
read the headlines and move on. Place your own interpretation
onto the headlines, and then just move on. No more
critical thinking. I mean, I've decided that the Libs have
really got something going here. Life is a lot easier
if you just emote, just you know, just deal with
everything on an emotional basis, not a logical basis, and
(01:33):
then just go on.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Who cares? Life's so much easier.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Sounds good enough for me.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, Well, this caught my attention because I find it
ironic because of who's saying it. And I find it
funny too, because yesterday I did a hit with News Nation,
and uh, I have the lighting and everything in my
studio downstairs, and I also keep some makeup. It's just
(02:00):
some I don't know, it's not foundation, but it's just like.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
The powder, just to keep your forehead not so shiny, right,
That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Dragon. I put a little bit on my forehead.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I put a little bit on my nose so that
the lighting is not like there was a glaring, you know,
bright spot over here.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
TV.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
You can't do anything about the years.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Well, I can't do anything about the face. I can't
do anything about you know, the siggy old man I
can't do anything about the old man. Look, no, I
can't just least keep or maybe I should just leave
the shining part on there so they're focused more on
the bright.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Light on my nose or on my blind.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
But and there were times when I would have several
news hits during the day, and particularly whether it was
here in Denver at you know, I'd be down to
the Fox affiliate, or whether when I was the under secretary,
and you would put the makeup on, and instead of
taking all the makeup.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Off, you would just leave it off, and you know, go.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
About your business and then an hour later, go back
here and do another hit. Go about your business now,
you know, an hour later, go do another hit. Or
you might sit in a chair for a while and
they keep you know, they always come over and they
refix it and redo it, because you know, the makeup
people want to just be just perfect. And in the
days of high definition television, it really does make a difference.
So a politician wearing makeup does not surprise me or
(03:25):
bother me in the least.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah, it ain't nothing new.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
It ain't nothing new. But apparently.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
If you're on television like that's your job, such as
I don't know, maybe a light a late night Now.
They call themselves comedians, but let's just call them a
late night host because I'm not quite sure they're really comedians.
They try to be funny, but they're not. This is
(03:53):
Jimmy Kimmel at the meetings.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Maybe she's a designated driver, we learn.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
We also learned, according.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
To CBS News, that Pete Hegseth had a little makeup
studio built at the Pentagon to get.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
His face ready for TV interviews.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
He has strongly denied this. He called it a totally
fake story, and a Defense Department official added uh that
he said it makes no sense because Pete does his
own makeup, which is more embarrassing. Thanks for the help, guys,
I'll handle the next oneld. I don't know why he
would be ashamed of this. A lot of warriors wear
(04:30):
a makeup. You ever see Mel Gibson and Brave Heart,
He's got it all over. Nothing sparks fear in the
hearts of our enemies like a Defense secretary who puts
foundation on his face and a big palmful of suavecito
palmade in his hair.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Every day his career. Do what says the guy? Who
is currently wearing.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
My point, that's the point. The guy who has in
these studios a separate room where he goes and sits,
and someone who has paid pretty good money to do
nothing but make Jimmy Kimmel look good on IDFTV is
(05:10):
sitting here mocking somebody who's wearing makeup to do a
TV hit. Now, I'll tell you something else I'm surprised about.
I'm surprised that there wasn't already a makeup room somewhere
in the press office, because there's a makeup room in
(05:32):
the West Wing and it's been there for I don't know,
probably forty years or longer.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
By the way, you know who this is. This is
Lloyd Austin.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
He is a.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Four star general.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
He was the previous Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Have you ever seen him before?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
No, you know why.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
He's inside the Pentagon doing his job.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
On room every day.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Of course, they're also days when we did not know.
There were days on the end where we had no
clue where the Secretary of the Defense was because he
decided to go have surgery. You know, all surgery is
life threatening, and didn't didn't bother to tell the commander
in chief.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
He had said, is on TV now more than Ryan Seacrest.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
We're back with another DoD reform.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Americans want to join a military.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
With high clear standards. Who can meet those standards?
Speaker 7 (06:31):
Biden couldn't.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Wasn't all right?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
You know what he does do in nice job, he's
very pretty and goods is when he gets booted from
the Pentagon, he'll being able to get a job at Sephora.
The Defense secretary as a makeup proof. The Vice president
wears eyeliner. And yet somehow this administration spends all day
every day complaining about trans women ruining sports.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I'm up and then that bothers me because there's old
comparison between what Jimmy Kimmel himself is doing, what I
did last night, what other people do when they are
appearing on television, whether they're politicians or business people or
anybody that's doing a hit on the cable TV anybody.
(07:18):
How can you compare that to a male who wants
to play like pretend being a female, going and bashing
in the heads of girls in sports. But you know
this is this is supposed to be comedy.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
All right?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Can we bring out the kid there?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
There? You have it.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I just find it really stupid, really really stupid. So
there's a lot of on X. There's there's a lot
of complaining on both sides of the aisle about Alexandria
Cassia Cortes got a you know, AOC. I wish I
could just be known as MDB just you know, hey MB, MB,
(08:12):
m MDB aoc chare you know, just just one you know,
Michael Brown. I mean that's just so blase, like, you know,
just MB just you know, come on, you give me
what what are you looking at me like that for?
I mean, you're Dragon red Beard what troll B just
wanted to be MB you know, just AOC MB.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
You know what, we don't need to inflate your ego
or any larger than it already is.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I haven't completely filled the room yet. There's there's room
for growth the Dragon. There's always room for growth. There's
always room for improvement, you know, stronger, bigger, larger ego.
They complained complaining about AOC and Bernie Sanders particularly, but
AOC she's made five private jet trips to go protest
(09:05):
against the oligarchy. Now, I don't know, I do fairly
well financially, Dragon does, okay, financially where you know, we
got roofs over our heads, and we we eat pretty well,
and you know, we both have transportation, and we both
have clothes. Well, Dragon does anything but a pair of shorts,
sneakers and some T shirts. That's all he owns. I
(09:27):
think that back he's he got one suit. He's got
one I think one suit, correct, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
So he's got he's got the he's got the funeral attire.
And h AOC's got a one hundred and say seventy
five thousand dollars plus whatever it is a year's salary.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And and she has available to her, which is, you know,
not only to be used for official purposes, but she
is available to her you know, a Gulf stream or whatever.
She's you know, going somewhere on a codell a can
national delegation, a congressional trip. But when she goes somewhere
to bitch about the oligarchy, nothing says, you know, hypocrite,
(10:11):
like taking a private jet to do that. So what
are we to make? But just what do you make
of a country in which the David Brooks, the so
called moderate of the New York Times opinion pages. I
find that hilarious calls for a comprehensive national civic uprising
(10:37):
so that we can fight against the tyranny of Donald Trump.
So we got the fight against the oligarchy. Now we
got the fight against the tyranny.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
What are we to make of it?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
This is one in which the traditional thinking about how
the Democrat Party can wield power has just been crushed. Absolutely,
it's become meaningless because it's one in which voters that
are disillusioned by these repeated attempts to try to defeat Trump.
Every time they've tried to defeat Trump, they have utterly
completely failed. So their utter hopelessness does what most I mean,
(11:18):
I think with every human being, your hopelessness at some
point turns to rage. Uh Kamala Harris that she's not
channeling that fury. Who is Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Cassia Cortes.
They just finished this barn storming speaking tour of the West,
(11:40):
and what are they doing. They're filling a vacuum. They're
sketching out a roadmap for how to resist the current
administration and reinvigorate a Democrat Party that is on its deathbed.
They actually call it the fighting oligarchy tour. So here's
(12:01):
an octagenarian so called independent, who's really a socialist communist
from the all places Vermont, of course, who has spent
the last decade or more bashing the Overton window of
American politics towards the left. Just one single rally, one
little speech, one little outrage, everything, just one single thing
(12:22):
at a time. And then over here, so you got
the octagenarian on the left. Well they're both on the left,
but he's on the left. And then over here you
got aoc his thirty five year old air apparent. I
think she's the air apparent to Bernie Sanders speaking to
all these huge crowds right here in Denver, out in
(12:44):
Los Angeles, they preached to this does disturb me. This
is the chaos we talked about yesterday. Do you know
that they went to Idaho. Idaho? Yeah, the Potato state, Uh,
Potato state, Idaho. You don't get much redder, maybe other
(13:09):
than maybe say Oklahoma, you don't get much redder than Idaho.
They spoke to a crowd of twelve thousand people in Idaho.
That's a state that Trump carried by forty points or more.
They said that the organizers of the fight fighting oligarchy.
(13:29):
Crowd say that so far they've reached more than two
hundred thousand people two ndred almost a quarter million people
have turned out to see the odd Couple, which is
really what they really are. It's like Daddy and his
little girl are out there rating against income inequality, which
(13:50):
I find hilarious income inequality. Look, give me Bernie's wealth,
give me AOC's wealth. Well, and they want to also
a bit about the corrupting influence of money in politics.
Yet they don't want to get rid of money in politics.
(14:13):
They want to take your money, taxpayer money, and use
it in politics because they recognize the fundamental principle, the
fundamental it's like a law of physics when it comes
to politics. You have to have money. You have to
have money to run a campaign. Well, they don't like
the idea that a corporation might contribute, or that, you know,
(14:35):
the wealthiest person in the world, Elon Musk, might contribute.
They don't like the idea that the little people might contribute.
They want everyone to contribute. It is such a socialist
idea taxpayer funded elections. Now, she's been working hard, really hard,
trying to shed her reputation as a you know, a
left wing deleton and has in just a few years
(14:58):
she's really you got How do you give her credit?
She has become a pretty savvy and pragmatic politician, and
she obviously has grassroots appeal. How much money you think
they've raised raised? The average donation is twenty one dollars.
How much at twenty one dollars? How much do you
think they've raised on these little fight the oligarch tours?
(15:22):
I should of itself is kind of funny when you
think about it. We're gonna go fight the oligarch and
we're gonna get the little people to give us an
average of twenty one dollars, and they've raised a staggering
nine point six million dollars. Nine point six million dollars.
Now there, They ostensibly aren't running for anything. They're just
(15:44):
trying to fight the oligarchy and they've raised almost ten
million dollars to do so. They're organizing prowess is you
have to sit back and give it credit. Now they're
out there doing that. I just want you to think
about the whole photo here that let's we're not going
(16:08):
to photoshop this like Biden. We're going to look at
the entire picture, so in the middle of the picture
almost like that, Oh, who's the artist that did the
picture of the of the farmer and his wife holding
the pitchfork's I can't think of the name of that photo,
but there you have. Uh, the old farmer is Bernie
(16:31):
and his younger wife is aoc and they're standing in
the middle. Well, what happened to Gavin Newsom? He's running
a podcast? What's happened to John Fetterman. Fetterman's approval ratings
are in the toilet. Why because he's been moderate, he's
(16:52):
been supporting Israel, He's shown a willingness to at least
work with Trump, to at least have a conversation with Trump.
And that's the now do you A recent poll found
that Fetterman to be the only Democrat in office with
a net negative favorability rating, clocking in at a dismal
negative seventeen point two percent among Democrats. The one Democrat
(17:13):
that the rest of us look at and go, oh,
there's a guy we could actually talk to. Democrats themselves
look at that guy and say, oh, nope, nope, you're
you're toast. So he's at a dismal negative seventeen point
two AOC boasted a positive plus sixty net favorability in
(17:35):
the exact same poll. Harry Inton, CNN's chief data analysis, says,
it's absolutely the case if you look at the polling
right now among Democrats, that they want fighters, they do
not want compromise with Trump. So what do you think
(17:56):
this means for the twenty twenty eight election. Well, obviously
anti establishment candidates, and you've got Bernie So so you know,
the people like Hillary that got coordinated, he's out the window.
Kamala Harris, give you might as little run for governor
because you ain't gonna make a sweetheart. Your cackle's just
(18:16):
that that's over whip. So the bottom line is Alexandria
Cassia Cortez the next lead of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Mike, you're right there. This late night stuff these days
is not funny, Timmy Kimmel blah, not good. They're also political.
I mean stating that life was funny about.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Forty years ago.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
You know, you used to have Jay Leno, you had
Johnny Carson, people who were funny and they didn't have
to be complete political psychos.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
We need some meaning to go back in those days.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
There's cat again to feed meal. He he's upset. It's
breakfast time. Come on, get on that. Yeah, and jump
back to the whole pete headsec thing really quickly.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yes, because there's there's a text message I wanted to
address dude.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
But yes, I just got to get this off my chest.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
You've got people in the White House like Rachel Levine
and Sam.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Sam Brendon, Brighton.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Brinton or something like that.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
The guy that stole the pluggage from airports to steal
women's dresses.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Right, yeah, you've got those people in the White House.
But now, but only now, are we upset about a
guy wearing makeup? Yes, exact, and now we are now,
not then now right, not then now right, Okay, now
now it's funny, then it's not, and.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Are supposed to be funny.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, I you know again text messages, it's hard to
read the tone. So I don't know the tone. I
can only go by the word. So goober fifty five
ninety rides Michael. You're showcasing, and that's the key word.
You're showcasing Kimmel, who is a distant excuse me, who
(20:09):
is a distant third in the ratings, gut Failed is
kicking all their asses and he's not even on over
the air terrestrial broadcast late night talk show ratings week
in March third source, Bar Media gut Felt three point
seven million forty six percent, Colbert CBS one point eight
million twenty three percent, Kimmel ABC one point five million
(20:31):
nineteen percent foul, and NBC one million twelve percent total
eight million. I'm not showcasing Kimmel. When you're showcasing something,
you're presenting something favorable to a to general attention. You're
(20:55):
you're you're trying to You're you're, without using a word, showcasing,
you're you're putting it up on a pedestal. I'm not
putting Kimmel on a pedestal at all. I'm mocking Kimmel,
the very, the, the something more important than just Kimmel himself.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Too. One.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
This was just a random thing that appeared up that
appeared in our list of sound bites this morning, and
I found it hilariously ironic and hypocritical.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Also to which if you want to go watch that clip,
it's up at Michael says go here dot com.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
And and particularly particularly hypocritical that a guy that spends
and I'm not kidding because when when I would be
in New York or I would come to go to
the Fox affiliate in Denver and Michelle, who was a
makeup artist that worked here in Denver, would do my makeup.
I needed to be there at least, I would say,
(21:53):
thirty minutes beforehand so that she could get all the
makeup done, get the hair just right, do everything. In
New York, they would take at least that long, if
not longer, and then they follow you around. And the
same thing is true with Jimmy Kimmel. So here's Jimmy Kimmel,
a guy that, while he's wearing makeup, is mocking people
(22:15):
who are doing the same thing because they're also going
to be on television. And I just find it hilarious.
And then to Dragon's point, Rachel Levine, the ugly old bag,
the admiral I admire, Admiral Rachel Levine who tried her
(22:40):
best to take that male face and look like a woman.
You know, sometimes people joke about uniforms turn them on. Well,
not so much there. And then Sam Britton, I mean,
my guys, here's a bald headed. If I we call you,
he's a bald headed I drink like you. Dragon would
(23:00):
put on this Gaudi makeup and wear these women's dresses
that he stole from airports.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
And I think would keep the facial hair.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Yeah, I don't remember the favorite.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
He had ruby red lips, and he had like a
lot of eye makeup on and stuff.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
So yes, there are photos of Sam with a goatee,
oh good grief with the lipstick.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
And then there's one final point on when I make
about Kimmel before I get back to AOC, and that
is this the audience. Do you do? You listen to
it again? Because listen to now I know they are coached.
They have applause signs that are you know, saying applause, applause, applause.
(23:48):
So they're just like trained seals. That's why I refer
to the people that watch the view as trained seals,
because they have no clue. I mean, you know, like
most liberals, most left wing, they have no think, they
have virtually no IQ. Anyway, they're just Boo's supposed to
be funny.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
We also learned We also learned, according to CBS News,
that Pete Hegseth had a little makeup studio built at
the Pentagon to get.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
His face ready for TV interviews.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
He has strongly denied this. He called it a totally
fake story, and the Defense Department official added that he
said it makes no sense because Pete does his own makeup,
which is more embarrassing. Thanks for the help, guys, I'll
handle the next oneld.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
I don't know why he would be.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Ashamed of this.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
A lot of warriors wear a makeup.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
You ever see Mel.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Gibson and Brave Heart, He's got it all over. Nothing
sparks fear in the hearts of our enemies like a
Defense secretary who puts foundation on his face and a
big palm full of Suavecito palmade in his hair every day.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
It's now, I don't know what Swaveca Palm eight is.
I assume it's some gel that guy's wearing their hair.
I've never been a jail a product guy from my hair,
which is quite obvious if you see me in person.
But I'm showcasing not Jimmy Kimmel. I'm showcasing Jimmy Kimmel's hypocrisy.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Hypocrisy.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Now let's go back to fighting the oligarchy, because I'm
really serious about this. I think what we see emerging
is Alexander. It's not going to be David Hogg. I mean,
David Hogg's already in trouble with his fellow committee members,
his fellow travelers on the DNC about wanting to spend
what was it, twelve million, twenty million something on going
(25:47):
to primary Democratic candidates. Gee, sounds like some people the
Republican Party who want to primary Republican candidates. So the
DNC is in a little bit of disarray, and you know,
you got Dick Durbin, who's you know, running away the
I think Dick Durbin is now either the fourth or
the sixth Democrat that has announced he's not running. If
(26:09):
we can't keep control of the Senate, then you know,
we deserve to lose because the numbers are just working
out for us incredibly well. So meanwhile, while all of
that's going on, AOC and Bernie Sanders are out there
just very quietly, now not quiet when they're at the
venue themselves, but very quietly under the radar, organizing you
(26:35):
might call her a quote community organizer Matt Dust, who
used to be an advisor to Bernie Sanders, says this,
Democrats have lost working people.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Duh, you're just now figuring that out.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
He says.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
The tour is a profound message. It's starting to resonate
because it's part of a broader, unified theory of what's
happening to our democracy? Why has our government failed for
so many years to actually deliver for working people? Because
our politics is captured by very wealthy interests. So what
(27:12):
have they done? What is AOC and Bernie done? They
have rallied the Democrat base. Now what I find fascinating
too about the Democrat base if you look at these rallies,
if you go back and you look at the rally
that was held in Denver, it was a sea of
white baby boomers. Now I know, yes, there were millennials
(27:37):
and gen xers and there were all ages there, but
it was predominantly white Caucasian baby boomers. So yeah, they're
rallying around, you know, another octagenarian Bernie. But then you
got cute little, you know, AOC there, you know, with
her little squeaky voice, you know, railing against whatever she's
(27:59):
going to rat against. And I think the Democrats, whether
they want to accept it or not, they are organizing.
They're organizing the socialists. So the organizing prowess of America's
so called democratic socialists, which is what Bernie and Aoz
(28:21):
represent has put has really put in stark relief the
disarray that is gripping the moderate faction of the Democrat Party.
In fact, it's virtually non existent at this point. All
of this revolutionary because it is that they're talking about revolution.
(28:43):
It's a great kind of forward looking signal that twenty
twenty eight is going to be fertile ground for these
anti establishment candidates. The ambitions of the fighting the Oligarchy
tour go way, I think, way beyond the personal ambitions
(29:03):
and the personal prospects of both Sanders and AOC. They're
out there doing and Republicans maybe we ought to take
a lesson from this. They're looking to recruit nationwide candidates
to their cause, and after the end of the tour
made their first endorsement Abdul i say Ed, a progressive
(29:26):
socialist running for the Senate in Michigan. Now, Lsied's going
to face a really crowded primary, but the contest itself,
that particular election is seen as a bell weather for
what voters are looking for in the twenty six midterm elections,
and of course probably beyond that too, And the question
(29:47):
is whether the left wing populism that's aimed at a
working class which continues to feel that it's been left
behind can be competitive. I think we'll be a paying
attention to it.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Don't blow it off, Michael.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I'm just glad that Heads Up doesn't take makeup tips
from KJAP.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Oh. Yeah, man, I miss her.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
That's a little harsh. I mean, it was a bold
choice with the gold, but it worked. It worked, in
my opinion, it worked.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Okay, don't you miss her? Think about remember the giant
notebook she always came out with.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Well, oh, she was tiny to begin with.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
So if she's just holding the ale a five inch,
you know, the spiral notebook.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, but I wonder how many tabs were on that
notebook for every possible issue that could possibly come up,
and she'd always flip to it. But I don't know
why she always slipped to it, because it would always
be well, I really can't say anything about that, or
I don't know, or we don't we're not going to
address that, or I've already addressed that before or whatever
it was. And now you got Caroline Leve that comes
(30:56):
out without anything. Maybe one piece of paper or something
to read something President has said to her, and she
just boom boom boom boom, answers, answers, questions until the
cows come.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Oh I missed, circle back?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Oh circle back, Yeah, I'll circle back, circle back, circle back.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Well we can, we can watch her.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
She's she's she's up on uh circle Back's got her
own show on MSNBC.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
So circle back, circle back.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
So yesterday we talked about chaos, and I think this
is an extension of that same point that I made yesterday.
So you got this socialist running for Senate in Michigan.
In New York, you have a Democrat socialist, a state
assemblyman from Queens, Zo ron Mondani.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
I don't m A M A M D A n
I uh. He's running for mayor.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Now his platform just listen to this, make New York
more for sable freeze rents jack at the minimum wage
to thirty dollars an hour, which will still barely get
your buy in New York. Unless he can win. Unless
(32:15):
he can accomplish the first one, which is to make
the city more affordable, which seems to contradict the last one,
which is jacking the minimum wage up to thirty dollars.
They'll seem to be in conflict with one another. But
what do I know, But listen to this.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
As of.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
The end of the month last month, end of March,
he had raised seven million dollars. Now for a young
kind of just state assemblyman from who's a socialist who
has well let me just say the name again, Zorron
Mondani raising seven million dollars. Looking so a socialist raising
(33:04):
seven million dollars, which is a pretty good war chest,
looking to run to be the mayor of the capital
of capitalism. This is where the country is headed. This
is what we wanted. We have got to figure out
(33:25):
a way to stomp them, stomp them into oblivion. Now, unfortunately,
I'm just being honest with you as I always am.
I don't have a lot of confidence and Republicans. I
don't have a lot of confidence that they have the
cajones to stand up and just take on what it meant.
(33:48):
Because think about this, Think about it's difficult for you
because you're smart. Put on your dummy hat for a moment,
all right, If somebody told you this is when I
joked earlier in the morning about thinking like a liberal
is so much easier think about this. Someone comes to
you and says, hey, I'm going to make Denver more affordable.
(34:11):
I'm going to freeze rents and i'm gonna jack. I'm
going to follow Michael Brown's advice, and I'm going to
jack at the minimum wage in Denver to fifty two
dollars and eighty cents an hour. If you're a stupid person,
you're like, wow, I'm voting for you.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
These publicans have.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Got to learn to counter this, otherwise we will turn
into a socialist utopia, which means will just be even
more of a crap old place than we are right now.
