- 0:01Speaker 1: Now seor presents.
- 0:04Speaker 2: No marks, some moon show. Well, hey, we got a
- 0:09Speaker 2: lot to get to. We'll get to the war crimes hoax.
- 0:11Speaker 2: We'll get to Mom Donnie, some interesting developments there. We'll
- 0:16Speaker 2: get to the Russia Ukraine meetings. We'll get to the
- 0:19Speaker 2: Cabinet meeting. We'll get to Oh, yesterday's election, of course,
- 0:23Speaker 2: a couple of the interesting elections. What does it mean
- 0:26Speaker 2: for the mid terms. We'll get to Christmas. Today's one
- 0:29Speaker 2: of those gridlock alert days. This is a regular thing
- 0:33Speaker 2: now we keep hearing the other day was a gridlock
- 0:35Speaker 2: alert day. Today's a gridlock alert day. I thought congestion
- 0:40Speaker 2: pricing was supposed to fix all of that. Apparently it
- 0:43Speaker 2: doesn't do much. We still have gridlock alert days. Christmas
- 0:46Speaker 2: tree lighting is tonight Rockefeller Center. That's where you'll see
- 0:50Speaker 2: some gridlock. That is an absolute snarled up mess around
- 0:54Speaker 2: that tree lighting. So that's tonight at Rockefeller Center. So
- 0:58Speaker 2: just avoid that area completely if you're driving, even if
- 1:01Speaker 2: you're walking, it's tough to walk around there. The sidewalks
- 1:04Speaker 2: is so packed. So has get to the elections. A
- 1:08Speaker 2: special election in Tennessee. This was an interesting election. Nashville
- 1:12Speaker 2: is the district is pretty much covering Nashville, Tennessee. You
- 1:16Speaker 2: know what, they call it, music City, the country music
- 1:18Speaker 2: capital of the world. So they had a Mom Donnie running.
- 1:21Speaker 2: It's a woman, but as we've been telling you, there's
- 1:24Speaker 2: about twenty six other Mom Donni's ready to be launched
- 1:27Speaker 2: by Democrats. And she was just like Mom Donnie on paper,
- 1:31Speaker 2: a total disaster, horrible past, horrible things she said in
- 1:35Speaker 2: her past, I mean, crazy socialist nonsense on paper, no
- 1:40Speaker 2: chance to win anything. But like Mom Donnie in person
- 1:45Speaker 2: and online and social media and on camera, charming, got
- 1:50Speaker 2: a nice smile, got a nice personality, lots of energy, young, energetic, charming,
- 1:56Speaker 2: just like a Mom Donnie. And she did very, very well.
- 2:00Speaker 2: She made it a real race. It was supposed to
- 2:02Speaker 2: be no contest at all, but she made it very close.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Republicans panicked and came in with millions of dollars trying
- 2:10Speaker 2: to save that race. And then the Republican Matt Van
- 2:13Speaker 2: Epps one easily. It turns out by nine points. But
- 2:20Speaker 2: you're going to hear the fake news try to make
- 2:23Speaker 2: it sound like it's a real nightmare. For it's a
- 2:25Speaker 2: warning sign for Republicans. Why Trump won that district by
- 2:29Speaker 2: twenty two points. That's a tremendous loss of points for
- 2:33Speaker 2: the not Really that's Trump and this Republican candidate, Matt
- 2:38Speaker 2: Van Epps, he's good, but he's a boring, drab sort
- 2:41Speaker 2: of a guy. How's he going to get the numbers
- 2:42Speaker 2: Trump gets and no local candidate's gonna get Trump numbers.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Trump gets Trump numbers. So Van Epps did just fine.
- 2:52Speaker 2: But again, you're gonna have a lot more of these candidates.
- 2:55Speaker 2: And it's a strange phenomenon, but these mom types. This
- 3:00Speaker 2: woman in the color the AOC of Tennessee, she's running
- 3:08Speaker 2: for Congress in the district that is Nashville, Tennessee. She
- 3:11Speaker 2: comes right out and says, I hate Nashville. She even
- 3:14Speaker 2: said I hate country music. She hates Nashville. She hates
- 3:17Speaker 2: country music. That's their main industry, country music. That's why
- 3:20Speaker 2: they call it music. City tourism is the number one industry.
- 3:23Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter to Democratic voters. You see the
- 3:27Speaker 2: same thing here with Mamdanni hates capitalism. That's our main
- 3:31Speaker 2: industry in New York, Wall Street, financial world, hedge funds,
- 3:35Speaker 2: that's the main industry of New York. Years ago, it
- 3:39Speaker 2: was other stuff. It was like the garment center, but
- 3:41Speaker 2: that's all gone. So now the main industry of New
- 3:43Speaker 2: York is the financial business. And Mamdannie runs saying he
- 3:47Speaker 2: hates them, he can't stand them. So you're going to
- 3:49Speaker 2: see a lot of this. Now you're going to see
- 3:50Speaker 2: somebody run for mayor of Detroit. He says, I hate cars.
- 3:54Speaker 2: You're going to see this all the time. These Democratic
- 3:57Speaker 2: voters don't care. Show them how bad the candidate is.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Look what they said in the past. Look at this,
- 4:03Speaker 2: Look how they never worked, they never had it. The
- 4:05Speaker 2: Democratic voters don't care. Doesn't matter long as the person
- 4:09Speaker 2: yells the word affordability all the time. That's all you
- 4:12Speaker 2: gotta do. It. Just keep saying affordability, affordability, affordability. Now,
- 4:15Speaker 2: there's nobody on earth less qualified to do something about
- 4:19Speaker 2: affordability than Zoraon Mamdannie or this woman in Tennessee. What's
- 4:26Speaker 2: their name is it Afton Baine. That's another name nobody
- 4:30Speaker 2: can pronounce, like Mam Donnie. So they all got weird names,
- 4:33Speaker 2: no resume. They've said crazy kookie things in the past,
- 4:37Speaker 2: but they look good, they sound good, and they keep
- 4:39Speaker 2: saying affordability. So Democrats vote for them. You got two
- 4:43Speaker 2: things going on. They're voting on just knee jerk emotional voting,
- 4:48Speaker 2: affordability I'll vote for or they just hate Trump so
- 4:51Speaker 2: much they'll vote for anybody who they think hates Trump.
- 4:55Speaker 2: And if you get one of these socialists, one of
- 4:57Speaker 2: these affordability young no resume, they must really hate Trump,
- 5:02Speaker 2: I'll vote for them. So Democrats going crazy to vote
- 5:06Speaker 2: for this stuff. What does it mean for the midterms. Well,
- 5:10Speaker 2: it's going to be a factor in the midterms. If
- 5:11Speaker 2: these kind of voters are going to turn out in
- 5:14Speaker 2: droves to vote for anybody they think hates Trump, that's
- 5:17Speaker 2: a problem for Republicans in the midterms. Now, the good
- 5:20Speaker 2: news is it's a year away. You got plenty of time.
- 5:24Speaker 2: There's a couple of groups that do the research for
- 5:27Speaker 2: the Democratic Party and then it's distributed to everybody and
- 5:31Speaker 2: they all jump on it. One of them came up
- 5:34Speaker 2: with the word affordability a while back, and that's why,
- 5:37Speaker 2: all of a sudden, in every race they're all using
- 5:39Speaker 2: the word affordability. This is very, very coordinated. There's a
- 5:43Speaker 2: couple of these groups, big monstrous organizations that do incredible
- 5:47Speaker 2: intense research focus groups studying that they come up with
- 5:52Speaker 2: the stuff, and then there's other groups K Street that
- 5:55Speaker 2: distribute it. They have these morning conference calls and they
- 5:58Speaker 2: have these things that go on to every Democrat telling
- 6:01Speaker 2: him what words, what phrases, what sentences to say. So
- 6:05Speaker 2: one of them is a navigator. Navigator does incredible research done.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Then the other thing they've come up with a navigator
- 6:11Speaker 2: is not only is affordability working, it's growing. The momentum
- 6:15Speaker 2: behind this affordability affordability they are finding in their studying
- 6:20Speaker 2: studying people the ballroom is a good issue to use
- 6:24Speaker 2: on this people. When when you talk to these people, well,
- 6:28Speaker 2: what do you mean affordability voters? They're terrified of the
- 6:33Speaker 2: prices going up and they can't afford groceries, or they
- 6:36Speaker 2: can't afford their medicine, and really terrified that they won't
- 6:39Speaker 2: be able to afford their healthcare, that they'll lose their healthcare,
- 6:41Speaker 2: this kind of stuff. So they're finding in this latest
- 6:46Speaker 2: round of studying, you can use the ballroom on that
- 6:49Speaker 2: that while you're terrified of being able to buy groceries
- 6:53Speaker 2: and pay your health care, he's building a ballroom and
- 6:55Speaker 2: look at all the gold He's putting up all over
- 6:57Speaker 2: the walls, and this vers sie like ballroom. This is
- 7:00Speaker 2: the last thing in the world you want to see
- 7:02Speaker 2: when it's an affordability crisis. So expect to see a
- 7:06Speaker 2: lot of ballroom stuff coming in the next few weeks,
- 7:09Speaker 2: maybe the next few months. They're going to start using
- 7:13Speaker 2: the ballroom as a major issue. You know, Trump is
- 7:17Speaker 2: like some sort of emperor, some sort of king in
- 7:19Speaker 2: a palace while you can't afford your groceries. The ballroom
- 7:23Speaker 2: it's symbolic, it's not real. I mean, first of all,
- 7:25Speaker 2: the ballroom isn't costing taxpayers anything. It's privately funded, and
- 7:30Speaker 2: it's something they actually do need. They've talked about it
- 7:32Speaker 2: for years. But they're going to start using it against Trump.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Here's the first round, New York Times doing a story
- 7:40Speaker 2: about the ballroom. Every story about the ballroom is negative.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Of course, it's too big. It's to this, it's to that.
- 7:46Speaker 2: It screws up the White House grounds. It's me. He
- 7:49Speaker 2: said he wouldn't tear down anything of the building. Well
- 7:54Speaker 2: I guess he did. But you know it's fine. There
- 7:56Speaker 2: was nothing in what the party tore down had nothing
- 7:59Speaker 2: in it. Lady's office, you can easily move her to
- 8:01Speaker 2: somewhere else. And the main thing in there was the
- 8:04Speaker 2: calligraphy office. They do the the you know, the little
- 8:07Speaker 2: place cards for dinner and sometimes the invitations. It's not
- 8:10Speaker 2: vital government work. But now this New York Times expos
- 8:15Speaker 2: is pretty frightening. It's pretty frightening. It goes on and
- 8:19Speaker 2: on about the terrible problems now with this ballroom. According
- 8:24Speaker 2: to this New York Times article, there have been disagreements
- 8:27Speaker 2: between Trump and the contractor and Trump and the architect. Now,
- 8:33Speaker 2: if you're one of these crazy old ladies who watches
- 8:35Speaker 2: MSNBC and reads The New York Times and hates Trump,
- 8:38Speaker 2: and you run around yelling about this is perfect, We'll
- 8:41Speaker 2: talk about this all this, he's not getting along, even
- 8:43Speaker 2: the architect has arguing with him, even the contractors are.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Of course, you can't ever explain to him reality that
- 8:51Speaker 2: this is perfectly normal. Everybody, when you're doing remodeling, when
- 8:56Speaker 2: you're remodeling your bathroom, your kitchen, building a house, this
- 9:00Speaker 2: is perfectly normal. About eleven times in the process you
- 9:04Speaker 2: fight with the contractor about something, you disagree with the
- 9:07Speaker 2: architect about something, it's perfectly normal. And then it goes
- 9:11Speaker 2: on to say that Trump has. The reason they're going
- 9:14Speaker 2: so crazy is Trump's behavior has been unbelieved. It was
- 9:16Speaker 2: supposed to be a five hundred seat ballroom, then it
- 9:19Speaker 2: grew to six hundred and fifty seats. Next he wanted
- 9:21Speaker 2: a nine hundred and ninety nine seat ballroom. Now he's
- 9:24Speaker 2: talking about room for thirteen hundred. That way they could
- 9:27Speaker 2: host the inaugural. Yeah, it's a pretty good idea. I
- 9:29Speaker 2: like that. So they go on and on the size
- 9:33Speaker 2: of the prods, raising alarms. People working on the ballroom
- 9:37Speaker 2: have been told they don't need to follow permitting, zoning,
- 9:41Speaker 2: or code requirements. Why this is outrageous, Trump pointing out
- 9:44Speaker 2: since it's on the White House grounds, it's not subject
- 9:47Speaker 2: to local Washington DC permit requirement. Well, he's probably right,
- 9:52Speaker 2: that makes perfect sense. So this goes on in a
- 9:55Speaker 2: but they never explained in the article. This is not
- 9:59Speaker 2: like Baraco bomb. I'm trying to tell these guys what
- 10:01Speaker 2: to do. This is one of the greatest builders in
- 10:04Speaker 2: the history of the world, and out of all the
- 10:06Speaker 2: great builders in America right now, nobody has more experience
- 10:10Speaker 2: building ballrooms than this guy. In fact, the architect, who
- 10:15Speaker 2: they think is some god you should bow down to.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Apparently he's never built a ballroom in his life. He's
- 10:20Speaker 2: done cathedrals and he's done with work in Washington, but
- 10:24Speaker 2: he's never actually done it. But Trump is the world
- 10:27Speaker 2: expert on building ballrooms. So they don't point this out
- 10:31Speaker 2: in this article. I would have total confidence in what
- 10:35Speaker 2: he's doing here. But you're gonna hear a lot more
- 10:36Speaker 2: about the ballroom. They're gonna make this a big thing now.
- 10:39Speaker 2: They're going to continue with the war crimes hoax for
- 10:41Speaker 2: a while, hoping that works. If that doesn't work, they'll
- 10:45Speaker 2: go to the ballroom. Here's Trump on the ballroom.
- 10:47Speaker 1: We're building one of the great I think maybe the
- 10:50Speaker 1: greatest ballroom. We needed it for one hundred and fifty years.
- 10:53Speaker 1: They've been asking. You see that the trucks and cranes
- 10:56Speaker 1: and excavators in the background, and you hear them. And
- 10:59Speaker 1: every time I hear them.
- 11:00Speaker 2: I love to show he said that once. I heard
- 11:04Speaker 2: him say that once. You know when when when you're
- 11:07Speaker 2: a home and they're doing construction next door, you're in
- 11:09Speaker 2: your apartment, they're doing construction. Oh god, that noise, Oh
- 11:13Speaker 2: my god, when's this gonna you just hate that noise?
- 11:16Speaker 2: He loves that sound. Construction. It's music to him. It's
- 11:21Speaker 2: the thing he loves most in life, construction. So he
- 11:24Speaker 2: enjoys hearing the noise outside of the Oval office. But
- 11:26Speaker 2: so they may use the ballroom. Once the war crimes
- 11:30Speaker 2: hoax will die out. The war crimes hoax, they think
- 11:34Speaker 2: they got them here. These are war crimes. You know.
- 11:37Speaker 2: First of a if you're gonna you decided you're gonna
- 11:40Speaker 2: blow up that boat with drugs on it and drug
- 11:43Speaker 2: cartel members. It's a boat filled with drug cartel and drugs.
- 11:47Speaker 2: You've decided you will blow it up. You will kill
- 11:50Speaker 2: them all and blow it up. So you fire a bomb.
- 11:52Speaker 2: I guess they fire a few bombs and if there's
- 11:55Speaker 2: anything left, you fire another bomber. Well, that sounds perfectly
- 11:58Speaker 2: normal to me. I'm not a military, but I'm not
- 12:01Speaker 2: an expert. But if you talk to the top generals
- 12:04Speaker 2: of the world, the jack Keanes sort of guys, they'll
- 12:06Speaker 2: tell you it's perfectly normal. You hit it with bombs
- 12:10Speaker 2: and you keep hitting it until you're absolutely certain everything
- 12:13Speaker 2: is gone. Like when they went to take out the
- 12:16Speaker 2: Iran nuclear reactors. You don't drop one bomb and that's it.
- 12:20Speaker 2: You keep remember you remember the videos, they just get
- 12:23Speaker 2: bombinan and bombinan and bombited until they were absolutely sure
- 12:26Speaker 2: they got everything. That's the way you do it. So
- 12:28Speaker 2: there's no war crime here. You're going to see all
- 12:32Speaker 2: these fake Newsy it's these Martha raddits as if she
- 12:35Speaker 2: knows what she's talking about. If violates the geneva and
- 12:39Speaker 2: as an enemy combatant and you're not allowed to kill
- 12:42Speaker 2: an enemy combatant. When did this rule happen? Now? You
- 12:46Speaker 2: remember during the Obama administration, he was doing it as
- 12:50Speaker 2: drone strikes. There were drone strikes all the time in Afghanistan,
- 12:53Speaker 2: in Iraq, and very often he killed civilians. We know this.
- 12:59Speaker 2: He killed a lot of civil millions accidentally with the
- 13:01Speaker 2: drone strikes and sometimes on purpose because they were near
- 13:04Speaker 2: what they target was, so they took him out. And
- 13:09Speaker 2: you remember the one time he hit a wedding with
- 13:11Speaker 2: one of the drones, blew up a wedding, killed a
- 13:13Speaker 2: lot of people. But of the millions of times that
- 13:15Speaker 2: killed civilians, and of course the same fake news didn't
- 13:18Speaker 2: care I mention a word about it. There's even a hearing. Actually,
- 13:22Speaker 2: if you go to my Twitter you can see the
- 13:23Speaker 2: video there's a great hearing. This is from the Biden
- 13:26Speaker 2: administration where the drone strike killed a bunch of civilians,
- 13:30Speaker 2: innocent civilians, and Mark Kelly seditious. Mark Kelly is interviewing
- 13:35Speaker 2: the general about it and he explains, yes, we did
- 13:37Speaker 2: kill the civilians. And Mark Kelly said, okay, my next
- 13:42Speaker 2: question is and that just moves right on. He couldn't
- 13:44Speaker 2: care less let it go, turned the other way. But
- 13:47Speaker 2: that's the way they're at it. The hypocrisy Democrats are
- 13:49Speaker 2: famous for. So when the war crimes hoax fizzles out
- 13:53Speaker 2: because people aren't buying it, nobody cares. They'll move on
- 13:57Speaker 2: to the ballroom now right now. They're also trying the
- 13:59Speaker 2: health thing. Trump he didn't doze off, but there were
- 14:04Speaker 2: one time and Pete Hegsath, I think it was Pete
- 14:06Speaker 2: Heggsath's going a little long. Trump closed his eyes, so
- 14:11Speaker 2: they showed the video. Look at this, his eyes are closed.
- 14:13Speaker 2: He fell asleep in the cabin. At mean, this is all,
- 14:15Speaker 2: but watch it carefully. Go watch the video for yourself.
- 14:18Speaker 2: There's a couple of times you see Pete Heggatt made
- 14:19Speaker 2: some kind of joke and you can see Trump's laughing.
- 14:22Speaker 2: His eyes are closed, but he's laughing. He's reacting to
- 14:24Speaker 2: everything he's saying. But they love talking about his health
- 14:27Speaker 2: and how bad he is.
- 14:28Speaker 1: If I go one day, I had one day where
- 14:31Speaker 1: I didn't do a news conference. There's something wrong with
- 14:33Speaker 1: the president. Few people are crazy. I'll let you know
- 14:37Speaker 1: with there's something wrong. There will be someday that's gonna
- 14:41Speaker 1: happen to all of us. But right now, I think
- 14:42Speaker 1: I'm sharper than I was twenty five years ago. But
- 14:44Speaker 1: who the hell does I took By the way I
- 14:47Speaker 1: took my physical I got all a's everything.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Yeah, but uh, he's very funny yesterday.
- 14:54Speaker 1: But you always find something new, like is he in
- 14:57Speaker 1: good health? Biden was great, but he's trumply good health.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I said, here I do for news conferences a day.
- 15:07Speaker 1: I asked questions from very intelligent Luna text. I always give.
- 15:13Speaker 1: I give them the right edges. There's never a scandal, there's
- 15:15Speaker 1: never a problem. I give you engines that solve you
- 15:18Speaker 1: a little problem.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Now he's in great health, of course, and the cabinet
- 15:22Speaker 2: meeting was pretty interesting. We'll go over that cabinet meeting
- 15:25Speaker 2: a little later. But you know, a lot of people
- 15:29Speaker 2: think Trump has to go back to campaign mode. Like
- 15:33Speaker 2: we were talking about the affordability, even though it's a
- 15:36Speaker 2: fake issue. I mean, you want affordability, it's fake in
- 15:39Speaker 2: that these Democrats couldn't possibly do anything about it. This
- 15:43Speaker 2: guy like Zoron Mamdani or this woman that ran in
- 15:46Speaker 2: Tennessee could never ever ever do anything about affordability. They
- 15:50Speaker 2: wouldn't know how to do. They wouldn't begin to know how
- 15:52Speaker 2: to So they went to Trump before the midterms. Go
- 15:56Speaker 2: back into campaign mode. You know, he was different in
- 15:58Speaker 2: the campaign. Now he's in the oval office and it's
- 16:01Speaker 2: very ornate. It's the other problem. It was nice to
- 16:04Speaker 2: make it all gold and look unbelievably unbelievably luxurious, and
- 16:11Speaker 2: it looks like a palace, but that kind of reinforces
- 16:14Speaker 2: the dictator king kind of thing. He made it look
- 16:18Speaker 2: like a palace, so psychologically it made him look more
- 16:21Speaker 2: like a king. They want him to go back into
- 16:22Speaker 2: campaign mode. Remember when we got in the garbage truck
- 16:25Speaker 2: and he drove the garbage truck. Remember when he worked
- 16:27Speaker 2: in McDonald's. That's where he looked like he was really
- 16:29Speaker 2: in touch. So he's got to do more of that. Also,
- 16:33Speaker 2: people are advising him. You got to do more. Go
- 16:35Speaker 2: back to those podcasts, the Joe Rogan type podcasts, that
- 16:39Speaker 2: kind of stuff, you know, those blue collar, down to
- 16:41Speaker 2: earth kind of podcasts. More of that, more driving the
- 16:44Speaker 2: garbage truck, so you might see more of that coming
- 16:47Speaker 2: at some point to counter all of this stuff. Hey,
- 16:50Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two,
- 16:53Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
- 16:57Speaker 2: to two, one zero seven ten
