The Great America Show - U.S. WILL REJECT WOKE MOB AND 2022 IS A WAVE WIN FOR GOP

00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Great America podcast with Lou Dobbs,

00:00:04.200 always in the fight for truth, justice, and yes, our American way of life.

00:00:09.240 And now here he is, the Peabody award-winning voice of truth, the great Lou Dobbs.

00:00:14.540 Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Great America show. Thanks for sharing part of your

00:00:18.920 day with us. It's an extraordinary period, isn't it? It's a midterm election year, but

00:00:24.860 I have to say, for a midterm election year, this is turning out to be a campaign season

00:00:31.140 that will use up a lot of money and a lot of energy, and most likely more money than ever

00:00:38.380 spent before on a midterm in our country's history, because of the local issues, and they are many,

00:00:45.760 and they are very, very important. Whether it's redistricting, local control of schools and school

00:00:52.540 boards, whether it's decisions made by boards of supervisors at the county level or city councils,

00:00:59.320 the citizen participation this year at all levels of government is critical. The election of state

00:01:07.040 legislatures and governors, all in the balance, all critical to the nation's direction and our quality

00:01:16.280 and standard of life in this country. The national issues also critically important, and we know that

00:01:24.980 this will definitely be the most expensive year in campaign history in an election year. And at the

00:01:32.560 national level, obviously a critical, critical year, a critical midterm election year. Historically,

00:01:40.880 we know that incumbent presidents on average lose 26 congressional seats in midterm elections and

00:01:49.380 four Senate seats in midterm elections. If that is the case, this will indeed turn out to be a very

00:01:56.980 good year for the Republican party and indeed for the balance of power in Washington, D.C. The answer

00:02:05.760 as to whether or not history will hold up on the average, well, we're going to have to find out

00:02:11.600 because a lot is at play. So to guide us through these issues and to help us understand with greater

00:02:20.140 clarity what's going on in this very important election year, we've invited Matt Schlapp to join

00:02:25.420 us. Matt is the chairman of the Conservative Political Action Conference, the most important gathering of

00:02:31.560 conservatives in this country every year. He is also the chairman of the American Conservative Union. He is a

00:02:39.600 brilliant strategist and lobbyist. His firm, Cove Strategies, very important to the conservative movement and

00:02:49.600 to Washington, D.C. And I understand he makes a little money on the side doing that as well. And Matt Schlapp, it is

00:02:57.480 great to have you with us, my friend, on the Great America Show. Welcome. And first, how are you doing? How are you

00:03:04.300 feeling about this great country of ours? Well, I feel great, but I always feel great. And it's really, really

00:03:10.360 great to hear your voice. I've missed hearing your voice. I think a lot of people have. And I think

00:03:16.020 they're very happy to hear it again. And I feel, you know, I'm always a bit of an optimist, just the way I am, but I am

00:03:24.680 actually pretty worried about the country. I don't think we have much time left to turn it around. I think in the short

00:03:31.540 term, it looks like we're going to spank our enemies. Spank our enemies. How so and how soon?

00:03:40.640 Well, my view, Lou, is the victories. Everyone talks about the blue state of Virginia, the Commonwealth of Virginia,

00:03:48.860 electing a Republican governor. Matter of fact, it was a Republican sweep. They won every statewide elected official.

00:03:54.440 And they won a majority in the House of Delegates. But to me, that was very important. But to me,

00:04:00.100 what was even more important is why they won. They won because ordinary citizens stood up and said,

00:04:06.420 I'm not going to have any more of this CRT in our schools. We don't have to teach this Black Lives

00:04:11.860 Matter 1619 stuff if we're a cop. It was a grassroots revolt. But you know what? It happened in Minneapolis.

00:04:20.120 It happened in Seattle. It happened in my home state of Kansas, where if you were pro-CRT, you lost your

00:04:25.900 school board seat. So really what happened last year was victories up and down the ballot. And I'm

00:04:33.280 looking at these poll numbers going into November. I think America is going to reject the woke mob that

00:04:40.640 has become the Democratic Party. The woke mob, just the mob. It's a thuggish party. It's a party without

00:04:48.560 conscience or soul or apparent interest in this country's prosperity, its future, the well-being

00:04:55.200 of working men and women, the American family. I mean, who the hell are the Democrats? I don't know who

00:05:02.100 they serve. I don't know who they represent. Who are they? Who are they, Matt? Well, I think you can

00:05:09.920 answer that question by checking out what Ilhan Omar puts out on her Twitter feed today. And I think,

00:05:15.980 you know, the Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, AOCs of the world, they won the argument within the

00:05:23.280 Democratic circles. And I don't understand why all their funders who have made their money in all types

00:05:29.260 of ways hate the idea of a free market and profit and the rest. But this argument has been settled.

00:05:36.140 There is no debate within the Democratic Party as to whether or not they're going to embrace these

00:05:40.660 radicalized leftist policies. By the way, Lou, you know this. They're not liberal policies anymore.

00:05:45.560 Liberal policies were about a lot more government and a little less constitution. But yet there were

00:05:52.040 some things we could agree on, including letting each other speak and having some First Amendment

00:05:56.100 freedoms. This Democratic Party is a hardcore Marxist party that tries to shut down, literally

00:06:03.740 throw in jail their political enemies. We're seeing this with the 1-6 Committee. You know, this is stuff

00:06:10.600 of the Russian Revolution. It's the antithesis of what our founders wanted in America.

00:06:15.520 Absolutely. And the January 6th Committee, let's go there right now, because that is a one-party,

00:06:24.060 partisan, vicious show trial. It is the stuff of the Soviet era. This has no place in America.

00:06:33.120 There is no analog in our history, by the way, to this, unless you go to the McCarthy hearings

00:06:39.240 in the 50s. It's the closest we get. But it's even that was not as broad based and vicious and

00:06:48.780 focused as the January 6th Committee on propaganda, on pursuing specific left wing ideals and corrupting

00:06:59.060 the entire political system and trying to do so. It looks like in perpetuity, based on the length of

00:07:07.860 the investigations and the nonsense they're spewing, what happens next on the January 6th Committee?

00:07:14.380 Do they just enlarge it with more left wingers on the committee? What do they do?

00:07:20.800 I think what they're doing is I call this a taxpayer funded opposition research campaign,

00:07:26.180 which is akin to a third impeachment of Donald Trump. The whole focus of the committee

00:07:31.120 has nothing to do with security against terrorism or securing the Capitol. All these phony terms

00:07:37.660 that get thrown out there. It is 100% focused on finding any dirt they can on President Trump or

00:07:44.700 his family and the last attempt to just rid Donald Trump from American politics. Of course,

00:07:52.620 they will fail at that, but they will destroy dozens of lives in the process. I have friends who are

00:07:58.220 caught up in this. It doesn't matter even if they think that you're guilty of wrongdoing, which in

00:08:02.500 most of the cases they don't. They're just squeezing people because they have power right now. And by

00:08:07.860 the way, they're squeezing people on an illegitimate committee with no minority, no minority councils.

00:08:13.480 This has never happened in the history of America, never happened in the history of Congress. You

00:08:18.180 brought up McCarthyism. The minority was always allowed to have an active role. Same with Watergate,

00:08:23.700 all these other moments. This is something we have never seen before. And if we, if the Republican Party,

00:08:29.100 and of course I am a Republican, but if we get the majority, we have got to go after the people

00:08:34.220 that broke all the laws on this renegade committee. Well, you start there with Pelosi,

00:08:41.160 of course, because she named the committee, formed the committee. She's running at the age of 81

00:08:47.580 for reelection. And I'm not really sure why more people aren't paying attention to her promises not

00:08:57.060 to step down as Speaker, to retire, if you will, from the arena. She's violating everything she

00:09:05.380 promised AOC and the squad and the left wing of the party. Instead, she has taken over the left wing,

00:09:14.220 it seems. You know, Lou, it's a, it's a funny thing that people forget is there are certain legal

00:09:20.760 immunities you get by serving in Congress. And I wonder if one of the reasons she's running again

00:09:26.420 at the age of 81 is because she wonders what the Republicans are going to do if they get the

00:09:32.140 majority. I think Jim Jordan and Jim Banks, the Republicans who weren't allowed to serve on the

00:09:37.180 committee because she called them the enemy within domestic terrorists. Anybody, by the way,

00:09:42.180 he was espoused as just banally Republican views is now all of a sudden a domestic terrorist,

00:09:48.060 an insurgent. You know, that's what they do. And, and I think that, you know, Jim Jordan coming in as

00:09:54.520 chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, I think it's time for the Republicans, if they really want

00:10:00.320 to save the country, is to make this all stop by making the Democrats go through the same thing they

00:10:06.620 always put Republicans through. And I think that's one of the things Donald Trump tried to get DOJ to do

00:10:11.600 when he was president. We play patty cake with the other side and they try to destroy our lives when

00:10:17.500 they get power. Exactly. And I don't, by the way, I don't, I'm among those now, I don't want this to

00:10:23.180 stop. I don't want civility. I find myself very comfortable in this atmosphere of incivility

00:10:32.360 because, you know, the Democratic Party has become the enemy within, as Nancy Pelosi said of Jim Jordan

00:10:42.660 and other Republicans. They are the enemy within. They are the, not only the party of loyal opposition

00:10:50.880 or disloyal opposition, perhaps is better termed, but they have become something entirely unique.

00:11:01.180 They're a fifth column. They are, they are in point of fact trying to destroy the basic institutions

00:11:10.000 of the country, the basic precepts of this constitutional republic. It is, they look,

00:11:17.380 they're looking to upend the United States of America as we know it. The American way is not their

00:11:25.360 way. And I think we have to engage on that. Don't you? I do. And I share your desire to accept the

00:11:34.000 reality at hand. You know, you're a person that was brought up to be mannerly as was I. I can be

00:11:40.880 perfectly civil and hospitable, but when you have a party that's embraced radicalism, embraced socialism,

00:11:48.720 there's no consensus on support of the police or support of our military. We've lost this idea that

00:11:57.080 the two big parties would have a consensus on some basic things that are good for the country, like

00:12:02.620 everybody should stand and salute and pledge the flag. And everybody agrees that there are institutions

00:12:08.700 that make the country strong and allow for society. They're destroying all those pillars. And

00:12:14.840 Lou, if you'll forgive me, this is exactly why I wrote this book called The Desecrators

00:12:19.280 with Deal Hudson, because we're sitting around as Trump supporters wondering what happened.

00:12:27.260 Everybody, it seems that associated with Trump, there was this consequence where your First Amendment

00:12:32.600 rights were taken from you. And my co-author said, you know, we keep calling it cancel culture where

00:12:38.680 politically someone can shut you down because of your views or a corporation can say,

00:12:43.080 we don't want you to shop here or work for us. It's much more diabolical.

00:12:48.560 I hope that never happens to me, for crying out loud.

00:12:51.140 I can't imagine, Deal. I mean, I can't imagine, Lou. I can't. As I said, it's really good to hear

00:12:58.400 your voice. And I mean that. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. And I hope it's good

00:13:02.160 for everyone to know that all of this in the end is just causing this uprising around the country.

00:13:08.900 So it's a little bit latent, but I think we're going to win this battle, at least in the short

00:13:14.320 term. But we called our book The Desecrators because it's not just cancel culture. It's not

00:13:19.360 just, oh, I prefer this politics over that politics. What the left is doing and what the Democratic Party

00:13:24.720 is doing is they are focused on destroying everything that's good, that's holy, that's truthful,

00:13:31.440 that's foundational to America. They are a wrecking ball for the family. They are a wrecking ball for

00:13:38.520 the military. They are a wrecking ball for any company that wants to produce something innovative

00:13:43.440 and not do it on the back of the government. They are wrecking our schools, but whether they be elite

00:13:49.560 private schools or public schools, they are trying to get inside the minds of our children and my five

00:13:55.740 children and to make them hate this country, to make them question the gender that God made them

00:14:02.100 in, to make them question all these things. And I'm telling you, it is diabolical and we got to fight

00:14:07.900 it. Yeah. The left and the two big teachers unions, straightforwardly, they're all about

00:14:14.860 indoctrination, not education. They are, you know, the Democratic Party now, the radical Dems are

00:14:24.280 simply, they're awful. They are absolutely awful in what they are trying to do, whether it's

00:14:31.660 indoctrinate our children, whether it is the cancel culture that they've created or the lies of CRT and

00:14:40.080 the so-called woke culture. It's just disgusting what they become. They're lower than snake bellies

00:14:49.160 as they pursue their aims, which are to, as I said, upend this constitutional republic.

00:14:57.140 I want to turn back to your book, The Desecrators, and I, and I, I love the title and the subtitle is

00:15:03.740 defeating the cancel culture mob and reclaiming one nation under God. And I just want to tell

00:15:09.720 everybody, we recommend this book to you highly. It's available for pre-order on Amazon and everywhere

00:15:16.600 else. Matt, this is just a, you know, it's a timely book and it is time for us to engage,

00:15:22.680 whether it is dealing with the cancel culture or the chamber of commerce. I used to call it the U.S.

00:15:28.620 chamber of commerce. You know, I've had more than my share of conflicts with the chamber,

00:15:33.600 but finally the Republican party, Kevin McCarthy of all people has told the chamber of commerce to go

00:15:41.900 to hell because they've lined up with the democratic party and are more closely aligned with China than

00:15:47.000 they are with the U.S. government. Your thoughts? Yeah, I call them the chamberlain of commerce.

00:15:53.780 Everybody has their favorite slight, but I give Kevin McCarthy a lot of credit and the Republicans.

00:16:00.820 And you know what it comes down to is when we went through all the aftermath of the election and I was

00:16:06.240 out in Nevada and Mercy and I were in Georgia and I saw the fraud firsthand and, and I'm an old hand at

00:16:12.640 this. I'm 54 years old. My only job has been in politics. And, uh, I was shocked at the level of

00:16:18.340 illegal voting that occurred, the complete not following of the rules to check signatures on

00:16:24.480 mail-in ballots and when signature, when mail-in ballots can be used. And, uh, you know, uh, what

00:16:31.120 you realized is then all these corporations really under the leadership of the chamber of commerce,

00:16:36.220 which by the way, bragged in time magazine, they, they helped quote unquote fortify the election,

00:16:40.160 which means allow for all this fraudulent voting to occur. They then normalized this idea that they

00:16:46.860 shouldn't, no corporation should use it to pack to support any Republican that actually was trying to

00:16:52.640 stand up and speak in support of voter ID. By the way, the American people in their good judgment

00:16:58.200 support voter ID 80% plus in every poll you look at. Uh, and somehow we've normalized this idea

00:17:05.880 through these corporate elites that voter ID is racist. And, and by the way, the most outrageous

00:17:12.460 thing is it's done in support of the democratic party, which held the KKK, uh, and Jim Crow in its

00:17:19.320 bosom and fostered the pushback on the sub full civil rights for former slaves. So the fact that we're

00:17:26.440 not teaching our history allows them to propagandize these outrageous things without any, uh, without any

00:17:32.700 mitigation whatsoever, uh, and voter ID, uh, and the support that is given in, uh, the fight against

00:17:41.920 voter ID by the left. Uh, and by the way, even the black caucus that goes along with that nonsense,

00:17:48.880 if there is ever bigotry by condescension, it is the issue of voter ID and the fight against it

00:17:56.980 to suggest that minorities are incapable of getting identification to vote in this country. Are you

00:18:04.540 kidding me? What kind of awful condense condescension is that? And what kind of bigotry, uh, could be

00:18:12.540 worse. And what you're noticing in polls, Lou, and I, I love to read polls. I think they're interesting. And

00:18:18.440 what I'm seeing is a very big trend with, uh, with, uh, people of color here, legally, Hispanics,

00:18:27.200 blacks who are actually turning towards these populist policies, these Trump policies. Um, uh,

00:18:35.080 they are associating themselves because they believe their kids were born boys and girls. They like

00:18:40.920 cops. They have cops in their family. Um, they support the military. They think, they think the, uh,

00:18:47.000 American experiences made the world better. It's the best hope for freedom on the globe. These are

00:18:52.300 not just trite sayings I'm throwing out there. Their fight against America is actually a fight

00:18:58.960 against Americans. And what's ironic is the very populations they're pandering to, uh, the Democrats.

00:19:06.140 I mean, these populations are turning against them because they realize many of the countries they

00:19:12.100 fled tried all these policies, by the way, it's why they're here. They ran from those policies. They

00:19:16.760 don't work. So one thing we know that does work, those are Trump policies. One thing we do know

00:19:23.220 works. And that is a wall of the Southern border. One thing we do know is important to sovereignty

00:19:28.880 and where the hell are Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy on those issues right now?

00:19:33.980 Where are they? They don't even talk about it. And Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy,

00:19:39.200 one moment they want to try to see if they can sound just a little like Trump. And the next,

00:19:44.120 there's this, uh, milk toast, uh, brew, uh, spilling from their lips. Uh, that sounds like

00:19:50.840 to me are another rhino in the wrong place in leadership, your thoughts.

00:19:56.500 Well, I think that these are very open questions in these primaries around the country.

00:20:01.120 I think that the, uh, the, the folks, I think there's a lot more independence in politics than we've

00:20:07.080 had in a long time. I also think, uh, with everything Trump did in our politics,

00:20:12.220 I still think there's a lot of change going on and a lot of people still getting

00:20:15.780 more attuned to why his policy simply worked. Non-political people just want politicians to

00:20:21.660 get out of the way and allow their lives to get a little bit better. And if you look at these polls,

00:20:27.160 the, uh, we have a third of Democrats already saying, you know, they don't want to support Biden

00:20:32.620 again. You have Republicans leading in the congressional and the generic ballot. You have, uh,

00:20:37.860 unfortunately dangerously low numbers of Americans saying the country's on the right track. So what

00:20:44.100 I would say to Kevin. Well, 70%, more than 70% of the country says that's right. Country's on the

00:20:48.860 wrong track. I mean, that's, that spells disaster, but the rest of these manufactured corporate polls

00:20:54.980 are bull. You know what? Uh, let me use the expression. My wife prefers. I use pure BS. Uh,

00:21:03.100 and we need, we need to understand corporate America right now is working against the interest

00:21:09.800 of the American people. And I don't, and I mean, every American who depends upon the public education

00:21:15.640 system for the, for being the great equalizer in this society. Uh, the left is trying to destroy that

00:21:22.320 great institution. They want to defund the police. Uh, they want to make terrorists out of parents who

00:21:27.860 actually have the energy and the passion to go to their school board meetings and stand up for their

00:21:33.180 children and what they are taught. I mean, this is, this is a perversion of the American society by the

00:21:41.200 left. That's got to be ended now. You know, Lou at a CPAC, we started a fund with our C3 called the

00:21:47.780 first amendment fund. And it's based on the NAACP legal defense fund, but kind of in reverse.

00:21:53.580 And, uh, we're raising money to protect the constitutional rights of American people.

00:21:58.400 And if you really think about it, this is a quite a scary thing. Not just can a Marjorie Taylor

00:22:04.640 Green lose her committee assignments because by fiat, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats just take away

00:22:10.440 the right of the voters of her district in Georgia. Let me interject very quickly, man. I'm sorry.

00:22:14.940 And then I'll let you go on. Yeah. Uh, Marjorie Taylor Green is a woman who has been attacked

00:22:22.060 viciously by the left, viciously by the corporate media in this country and by the, by the rhinos in

00:22:30.300 the Republican party. And I say to each of those groups, go to hell. Marjorie Taylor Green is a

00:22:36.520 great representative for her people in her district and for all Americans in this country who care about

00:22:44.060 our institutions, the American way of life, truth and justice. She is great. Uh, and you know, I just

00:22:52.420 can't believe somebody would go after because they're afraid of a strong woman with a conservative

00:22:57.220 view. I completely concurred. And it's the same thing they did to Congressman Banks and Congressman

00:23:03.660 Jordan by not allowing them to sit on the one six committee. They are disenfranchising voters all over

00:23:08.800 the country while they run around and say, Oh, it's the Republicans disenfranchising blacks.

00:23:14.260 It's actually the democratic party in their leadership, which is disenfranchising the voters

00:23:18.500 in these district to elect these representatives. They're the ones who get to decide who comes to

00:23:23.120 Congress, not Nancy Pelosi, not Steny Hoyer, not the rest of these people. But by the way,

00:23:27.880 it's a lot of cops who are losing their job, uh, because they don't go along with a lot of the

00:23:32.220 nonsense they're being, uh, they're being told they have to go along with, whether it's having to take

00:23:36.920 a vaccine or having to submit to this black lives matter orthodoxy. There's a lot of teachers

00:23:41.660 who are losing their jobs because they believe parents should be listened to. And the parents

00:23:46.040 are the most important, uh, uh, adjudicator of what their kids do. Um, there's everyday Americans

00:23:52.940 all over this country. It's not just powerful people like Congressman getting canceled and being

00:23:57.100 desecrated. It's people without wealth, status, or power. And I think our great cause besides kind of

00:24:03.760 refounding this country and defending her is defending these people. We all have to do it.

00:24:09.060 You've done it for years and for decades and been a voice for these folks, but we have to specifically

00:24:14.820 help the victims. I mean, McCarthy, they always use McCarthy. They are the McCarthyites. They are

00:24:21.160 destroying people's lives on a daily basis. And so why is it that we can't get, uh, a clear statement

00:24:29.380 from Kevin McCarthy, the minority leader in the house, uh, the Senate minority leader,

00:24:34.680 Mitch McConnell, uh, that they will stand up for America first, that they understand that this is

00:24:40.680 the party of Trump and that by God, uh, we will put America first in our policies and that we will,

00:24:48.680 will, uh, follow Trump, uh, as, uh, as the leader of the party. They seem to be trying to, uh,

00:24:56.820 I mean, for crying out loud, Mitch McConnell decides it's going to be, uh, John Thune. I mean,

00:25:01.380 they look like something out of the walking dead. Uh, they are passionless. They are, uh, unoriginal

00:25:07.500 and they're thinking and they don't stand up. They actually stood up against president Trump.

00:25:12.660 It's unforgivable. I think after the election, um, uh, people, too many people, uh, especially in

00:25:21.040 leadership thought they were done with Donald Trump and they thought they'd be able to just push him

00:25:24.920 off the stage. And, uh, what they've come to realize is that anybody who's running for,

00:25:31.280 and I've made this trip and you've made this trip down to Mar-a-Lago, uh, anybody who's running for

00:25:36.400 a Republican position anywhere is waiting in that waiting room to get the blessing of Donald Trump.

00:25:42.340 And, uh, he's the endorsement that matters and really the only endorsement that matters.

00:25:47.540 And that's because his policies worked. And what's ironic is that, uh, you know, if we get these

00:25:53.660 majorities, these leaders will only be in leadership because people ran on Trump policies in these

00:25:59.660 primaries. So I would just urge, whether it's Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, others in leadership,

00:26:04.740 that if the people are demanding the policies, and if the people believe that Donald Trump's

00:26:10.480 endorsement is the most important factor in how they vote, they're going to have to reverse course

00:26:15.520 or they're going to have to get out of the way.

00:26:17.040 Well, I mean, I'm going to, I agree with you a hundred percent because as your book focuses on

00:26:22.460 it, I mean, we've got to cancel the culture mob. We've got to reclaim this, uh, nation under God.

00:26:28.520 And so let me make a suggestion to McConnell and to McCarthy and see if you agree with me.

00:26:34.320 I don't want to wait to the election to tell those two men to get the hell out of the way.

00:26:39.840 They're not listening to Trump. They're not listening to his, uh, his supporters who represent,

00:26:45.280 uh, half more than half of the country for crying out loud. So, uh, get out of the way now. What do

00:26:52.580 you think? Well, I also wonder if they're just, you know, uh, not that people can't be great, uh,

00:26:59.440 uh, well into the, the winter of their life, but I mean, I mean, come on, can't we get some fresh

00:27:05.620 blood? There's nothing wrong with it. Right. I mean, that's okay. That's a good thing.

00:27:08.940 It's not about fresh blood. It's about people who are smart enough and have enough integrity and

00:27:15.040 enough passion for this country to stand up for America and Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy

00:27:22.280 won't do it for crying out loud. Kevin McCarthy wants to keep, keep Liz Cheney in the Republican

00:27:27.900 party. What kind of madness is that? She's outrageous. Well, outrageous. Hell get him out of

00:27:35.100 the way. Outrageous. And we got Mitt Romney leading the way on doing her fundraisers. And,

00:27:40.640 you know, uh, the thing is that I get that bozo the hell out of the Senate is a Republican. You

00:27:46.440 can't get him out of the city. You don't want to, uh, but he, it's ridiculous to have him there.

00:27:52.140 Well, I think that, look, I think you're making a, I think you're making a point that a lot of people

00:27:57.100 believe in. We're going to ask in our CPAC straw poll coming up in February in Orlando, uh, what the,

00:28:03.740 what the people that come to CPAC, what they think, do we need new leadership in Congress? Uh, do we need to,

00:28:09.540 uh, have a new course? And I think it makes a lot of these conservatives wonder if they should be

00:28:16.160 associating with the Republican party. If there shouldn't be a new party, should they be an

00:28:20.200 independent? I think it's a very live question. I know Donald Trump has doubled down on his

00:28:24.860 commitment to the party and I think it was the right decision, but you know, a strange orthodoxy

00:28:30.540 to, uh, the Republican tradition of just kind of keeping everything on simmer and not doing anything

00:28:37.240 bold. I think their people are done with that strategy. They want senators to work.

00:28:42.460 They want senators to fight back on Biden each and every day. Matt, how about this? Kick the rhinos the

00:28:48.980 hell out of the party. I'm for it. Get, get rid of them. If they, if they can't line up with Donald

00:28:54.600 Trump, put America first and actually say out loud, they won't put up with any more corporate nonsense

00:29:01.100 from the chamber of commerce and all of the lobbyists that, uh, on K street, uh, you know,

00:29:07.760 who are we? What is a conservative? Because right now, uh, McCarthy, uh, McConnell and Thune and their

00:29:18.980 ilk, you know, they're just, they're corporate bag men. Uh, and I really think it's embarrassing

00:29:25.560 for the Republican party to even have them there. It's Donald Trump's party by God, and it's going

00:29:30.460 to be a long time before it isn't. Uh, yeah, I think that's right. I know it's right because I'm

00:29:36.820 still traveling the country and I just came back from some events and, uh, you know, the number one

00:29:42.780 people, number one question is, is Trump going to run again? Number two question is, will Republicans

00:29:48.860 have the guts to stand up about illegal voting? And number three is exactly the point you're making,

00:29:54.720 which is all these corporations that will not allow their PACs to donate to any Republicans who

00:30:01.340 questioned election fraud or support, uh, voter ID. Uh, what happens when Republicans get power?

00:30:08.720 And I think they will, what are they going to do with that power? Lou, when it comes to dealing with

00:30:13.800 these corporations, I say they should stand up and give them a one finger salute and say, you know,

00:30:20.120 you chose what side you're on. You're on the side of the desecrators who want to destroy

00:30:24.580 the foundations of the country. Uh, we have to do this without you. And if the Republican party would

00:30:29.920 actually separate itself from the agenda of these freeloading corporations that are like,

00:30:36.800 uh, this, you know, like they used to say the radical chic crowd, they have embraced the worst

00:30:43.320 of everything George Soros is trying to do. And I think we have to be a majority that tells them

00:30:50.320 to screw off. Yeah. And, and why haven't these leaders of the Republican party, particularly

00:30:55.780 in Capitol Hill, whether it's a RNC and, uh, you know, I mean, they've still got the same leadership

00:31:00.720 over the RNC, even after they lose, uh, uh, almost, uh, you know, so much of the, the power of the

00:31:08.840 presidency, for God's sake, you can be, can be put at the feet as well. Uh, uh, of Ronald McDaniel.

00:31:14.800 Uh, it's, and there she is still no consequence for failure. This isn't, this isn't, uh, this isn't

00:31:22.360 the way of American politics. You're talking about new blood. We need it there quickly. Uh, and we need

00:31:27.780 good, good, strong, red blood, uh, red blooded Americans. I, I I've got to say we're out of time

00:31:35.780 here. Uh, I want to, as always give you the opportunity. Uh, we always give our guests the

00:31:41.760 opportunity for the very last word. Uh, and this is your opportunity. And we thank you for the

00:31:49.040 opportunity to talk with you through this podcast. Appreciate it. Matt slap. Yeah, Lou. Well, I appreciate

00:31:55.760 the fact that you're out there fighting for these values, uh, and you understand the dire nature of

00:32:01.660 the country's in, um, you've got kids and grandkids. I've got five kids who are just at these precious

00:32:07.760 ages. And, uh, it is frightening to see the culture that we're being forced to raise them in. And, uh,

00:32:14.420 I wrote a letter to my kids in the beginning of the book, and I apologize for the fact that sometimes

00:32:19.580 having my last name makes their life a little more difficult, but they have to understand that if

00:32:24.420 their parents don't do everything they can to save this country and what makes it great, which Donald

00:32:30.800 Trump demonstrated over four years in the white house, they don't, they're not going to have a

00:32:35.660 country, uh, in a society grow up in. So this is, this is our great cause. And, uh, although it looks

00:32:42.300 dark and dim at times, uh, I think we can still turn it around. And I think this book gives us a plan

00:32:49.380 to do that. And I really appreciate getting to talk with you again. All right, Matt, thank you

00:32:54.640 for being with us. The book is the desecrators defeating the cancel culture mob and reclaiming

00:33:00.020 one nation under God. It would be nice to reclaim one nation under God straight away. I hope your day

00:33:07.560 is going well, that we can all laugh at much of the madness, at least that seems to have gripped our

00:33:13.020 nation. Certainly it's gripped the people we depend on to lead us and the rest of the free world.

00:33:18.480 Well, I'm not so sure. I'm not so sure about the free world. Uh, we used to always remember,

00:33:24.620 referred to the president of the United States as also the leader of the free world,

00:33:28.480 but you notice no one says that anymore. Certainly not since Donald Trump completed his first term in

00:33:35.440 office. Now, I don't know whether there's some question about Biden in the white house, about him

00:33:41.040 actually being recognized as a leader of other nations by other nations. And I, I, I think you

00:33:48.620 and I could see that because he's having a lot of trouble in this country being recognized as the

00:33:54.040 leader. He is actually the president here and being recognized as the leader of the country has been

00:34:00.720 tough enough. He's been to say the least divisive or the just a little awkward, we'll say in his public

00:34:07.380 appearances when he does occasionally make them. He has also been bungling whenever he acts as president

00:34:14.820 and act almost seems like he's pretending and a good 70% of Americans simply don't like the direction

00:34:22.520 of this country right now under this president. Biden's vice president isn't any better. The

00:34:29.780 administration itself is barely functioning. And even when actually functioning, the results are not

00:34:34.620 what you would call particularly impressive. Most often the administration is inept, it struggles to be

00:34:40.460 even remotely effective. And far too often disaster is the result, whether it's runaway inflation, whether

00:34:48.060 it's Afghanistan, his foreign policy or domestic policy. Obviously, all of this spells opportunity for the

00:34:55.280 Republican Party. We'll see what they can do to take back the Senate and the House, they're in position to do so.

00:35:02.360 And of course, win as many state legislatures and governorships as possible. We're delighted to have

00:35:08.660 our next guest with us. She is Amy Tarkanian, Republican strategist, former Nevada Republican

00:35:14.740 chairwoman and great American. Amy, great to have you with us. I am so excited to be back with you, Lou.

00:35:22.820 I am completely honored and I'm just thrilled that you have this wonderful podcast that's excelling and just

00:35:32.100 taking off like wildfire. Not surprised. Well, we had a little boost from the president. I have to be

00:35:37.940 very honest. He was he was absolutely terrific and he helped us. You're here to help us today. And we

00:35:44.280 thank you for that. And we want to thank everybody listening to us. I mean, the support of our audience

00:35:50.020 has just been amazing. And if everybody will keep calling two friends and two members of the family

00:35:56.200 and tell them to join us, you know, we're going to keep this this brush fire going.

00:36:02.560 Amy, let me start with the opportunity right now, as you see it. Just how bad. Let's start out with

00:36:09.280 this. Just how bad is the Biden administration? I personally, I've never seen anything like it.

00:36:17.640 I mean, nothing, not even the Carter days. I wasn't covering the White House in the 19 late 1970s.

00:36:26.580 I was covering presidential politics, but not the White House. Carter was a disaster, I guess,

00:36:35.480 but it took him a while. Biden has taken this first year and he's really run with it, hasn't he?

00:36:41.760 I mean, I guess, you know, he he's going to follow through with the mantra, go big or go home. And so

00:36:48.280 he's he's going all out before his first year was even accomplished. Yeah, he's done a lot of

00:36:56.620 destruction and it's very concerning. And it and it just goes to show how important each election is,

00:37:02.340 because you think, oh, no, it'll take time. There's no way anyone could could turn things around that

00:37:07.880 quickly in one term. Well, forget about one whole term of four years. This is less than a year

00:37:14.160 and it's a disaster. I mean, there is a Rasmussen poll that came out. I think it was yesterday where

00:37:20.880 they said that it was 50 percent of those who if they voted today, they would vote for his impeachment.

00:37:27.780 I think that speaks volumes. And the fact that we have a high amount of third party candidates being

00:37:36.220 registered and a number of Democrats who are not just moving over to third party, but they're also

00:37:42.000 moving over to Republican. And here in the state of Nevada, we have one congressional candidate and a

00:37:49.440 gubernatorial candidate who both recently switched from Democrat to Republican. So you would think that

00:37:55.780 the Democrats would take a look at what's going on and maybe think twice about some of these atrocious

00:38:02.360 policies that they're trying to shove down our throats. Well, who's leading in that Republican race for

00:38:08.920 Congress? Well, that particular race, there's multiple candidates in in that seat. And I think currently

00:38:18.220 there is a female. Her name is Annie Black, and she's a current assemblywoman in the Mesquite area.

00:38:24.740 And I believe she's most likely going to end up being our nominee. And that's in congressional

00:38:30.120 district four in Nevada. And and who else is leading in the other other contests for Congress?

00:38:37.300 Because we got obviously 435 seats up. We only need usually the discussion is about five seats

00:38:45.640 to eight seats to flip the House back to the Republicans. Obviously, we do know in a midterm

00:38:52.560 election. Typically, the president's incumbent party loses 26 seats. Now that would be a great

00:39:00.180 event and a great margin for the Republican Party. How does it look in Nevada?

00:39:06.160 That would be better than Christmas, I think. So here in the state of Nevada, unfortunately,

00:39:12.420 we are a Democratic trifecta. And so we do have an uphill battle. The fact that Republicans were the

00:39:20.320 slowest growing party for registration is also concerning. But I think we are going to be able

00:39:26.620 to hopefully enjoy some of that red wave. We do have four congressional districts, I mentioned

00:39:32.840 congressional district four, I think that's going to go to Annie Black is my guess. And then the

00:39:37.220 incumbent, of course, is a Democrat. And then we've got congressional district three, which I believe

00:39:42.860 will be April Becker will be the nominee. And she's going up against a female incumbent. And then

00:39:49.520 in congressional district one, which is a Democratic stronghold, but we have a couple of females that are

00:39:58.420 going to be, I think, contenders. One is Carolina Serrano, and the other one is Diane Steele. And she's a

00:40:05.580 former judge. And then in CD2, that's a Republican stronghold. And right now that's held by Congressman

00:40:12.580 Mark Amaday. But he was also the first congressman to vote for the impeachment inquiry of President

00:40:23.540 Trump. So we'll see if somebody wants to primary him this time and put in an actual America first

00:40:30.080 Republican. Yeah, I sure hope so. Because if you can't do it there, anyone who voted against

00:40:38.240 President Trump, any Republican who says he or she is not an America first Republican,

00:40:45.800 and recognizes Trump as the leader and the inspiration for the policies that are going

00:40:50.420 to drive this country forward. I don't know why the Republican Party would put up with him. Do you?

00:40:55.280 No, no. And this gentleman seems to enjoy coasting and not even really helping the down ticket. So

00:41:04.240 it's unfortunate that we have somebody in a position that could really do a lot, a lot of

00:41:12.220 good and actually shout from the rooftops, all of the wonderful conservative values that we hold.

00:41:20.280 And instead, he chooses to sit at the Capitol grill and smoke cigars. Oh, man. That's sort of like the

00:41:28.660 New Yorker cartoon of a congressman, isn't it? Right. It's depressing, disappointing. It really is.

00:41:36.140 But then again, so much of Congress can be disappointing. A classic rhino. And rhinos are the

00:41:42.240 enemy of not only the Republican Party, but America. They really are. They are disastrous.

00:41:48.460 They're infiltrators. They're a fifth column within the Republican Party.

00:41:54.060 And he's pro-amnesty. He's voted for illegal immigration pro-amnesty. So what is this guy

00:42:00.820 doing with an R? I have no idea. Well, let me guess. He's in a Republican district and he's trying to

00:42:07.620 get by since he couldn't run as a Democrat. And the Republican Party wants him there for whatever

00:42:15.280 reason because the party right now is led by Kevin McCarthy in the House and Mitch McConnell in the

00:42:21.680 Senate, which, by the way, speaking of rhinos, there you go. Right. And he was also looking at a

00:42:27.200 gubernatorial run. So I think he was trying to play both sides for a while with his votes and not

00:42:35.280 speaking out when he should have with the Biden administration making all the messes that they

00:42:40.540 have. He stayed silent. So I think it's time for him to be replaced. Yeah. And the and the usual

00:42:45.820 rhinos are not suspects. They're they're obviously guilty and walking in the open. Dick Durbin in an

00:42:53.100 interview said, quote unquote, several Republicans could be open to the Biden Supreme Court choice.

00:42:59.720 Who is that choice? Oh, she we don't know. But the fact is, she is black and she is female,

00:43:06.900 as the White House has confirmed. And I have to guess that those Republicans would include at least

00:43:14.400 these three Republicans. He used the word several. And that would be three. And and Susan Collins has

00:43:22.380 come out and said she would welcome a black woman in the Supreme Court. You know, what does that mean?

00:43:27.960 You would welcome a black woman in the Supreme Court? Who the hell are you? This is the 21st century.

00:43:34.480 We have equal rights. You would welcome. Of course you would welcome. You would welcome any American

00:43:41.320 who's qualified for the job. Would you not? Susan Collins often seems to me to be, well, a little

00:43:49.900 impaired when it comes to her articulation of her positions and her preferences. Why didn't she say

00:43:57.840 she'd welcome an Asian, a Native American? You know, how about, you know, an Italian American,

00:44:06.260 if we're going to hyphenate everybody? This is right. If I'm Asian right now in this country,

00:44:12.120 I'm going to get a little agitated. Yeah, no, I got out of that, you know, that minority business.

00:44:20.540 Right. And I think at this point, you know, it's funny, my oldest daughter, she signed up for

00:44:25.300 ancestry.com and she was looking into my side of the family and she's, she's like, mom, um, your,

00:44:31.320 your family like to travel and, um, they like to get along very well. They got along very well with

00:44:38.840 people from other countries. Cause I'm pretty much everything. I'm almost everything. I think,

00:44:43.340 except for black and Asian and maybe middle Eastern, I don't know, but I'm pretty much everything.

00:44:47.480 So, you know, how about I'll just be offended for everyone at this point, but I agree. You know

00:44:54.440 what? Great. If the next Supreme court justice happens to be a black woman who is sharp as a

00:45:01.480 tack and follows the constitution and the law, like it should be then phenomenal. Great. Let's all

00:45:09.200 congratulate the new Supreme court justice, but choose somebody because of their gender and their race.

00:45:16.400 I mean, I feel like the democratic party is taking us back to 1950s. They claim we are,

00:45:22.600 we're the older party, but we're not, we're all trying to move forward and, and succeed and excel

00:45:28.760 and, and help each other, uh, move up the ladder in whatever industry. And it seems like they're the

00:45:34.900 ones who keep wanting to hold everybody back. Well, I'm going to do something I seldom do. I'm going to

00:45:40.440 quote a, uh, a, uh, former Democrat, uh, candidate for president and Tulsi, uh, uh, Gabbard, former

00:45:48.680 Congress, a woman from Hawaii, uh, saying basically she's offended that, uh, Biden would, uh, lay out the,

00:45:57.460 the qualifications as female and black. And she went on to say, because if he does that,

00:46:04.300 that's what he did with, uh, Kamala Harris. And how did that work out? It's a, it's a disaster.

00:46:12.300 So no one should get too excited about what he's doing because it's atrocious that he would play

00:46:18.720 group and identity politics with the Supreme court. And by the way, he, he, he voted, I, I, he, well,

00:46:25.700 he filibustered, uh, a, a black female candidate when he was a U S Senator for two years, because he

00:46:33.860 didn't want a Republican, uh, African American female on the high court. And that's to me, that's

00:46:41.220 just despicable. This is the same guy who fought against the filibuster. Uh, and it was quoted twice,

00:46:47.620 uh, as talking about it as a, it would be a disastrous decision. And now here he is advocating

00:46:54.480 the filibuster being, uh, uh, removed from the Senate. I mean, I, I think that now since we've

00:47:02.920 seen and heard from him, what, what little we have, it's, it's more than enough. And I'd rather

00:47:08.420 hear more, I think coming out of his mouth at this point about, you know, the fact that his favorite

00:47:13.380 ice cream flavors, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate chip, you know, because every time he it's time for

00:47:19.240 him to make a decision, it's just, it's partisan, it's petty. It, it's doesn't seem like it's very

00:47:25.540 well thought through. Um, I mean, this divisiveness with the Supreme court has, like you mentioned,

00:47:30.740 it's gone all the way back from Clarence Thomas up to Amy Coney Barrett. And it's embarrassing. Um,

00:47:37.540 did you listen to justice Breyer when he gave his retirement speech? I mean, that man to me

00:47:44.080 seemed like he absolutely loved his job and he loved sharing his knowledge. He spoke about going

00:47:53.720 and speaking with students and he was beaming from ear to ear, just reminiscing about those moments.

00:48:00.500 That was not the sound of a man who was ready to retire, uh, in my opinion, but, um, you know,

00:48:08.600 I know it's all political. The people that they have listed so far, the, there was three women and

00:48:14.900 I can't recall their names, but their ages are, you know, 45, 51 and 55. So obviously this was a

00:48:21.020 political move. Um, so that way they could keep somebody in that sleep for a longer period of time,

00:48:26.440 because I think they see that in the midterms, you know, they're going to be losing and they very well

00:48:30.340 may lose the presidency in 2024. So it's all politics.

00:48:35.260 It's all politics and the politics, of course, we won't deny that it, it plays a part in all of

00:48:41.700 the decision-making about who a president, uh, chooses to put forward to join the court,

00:48:47.800 but there has been such a high standard, uh, academically and, uh, in, uh, as a, uh, as far

00:48:57.060 as judges go, uh, their, their record and we've seen that dissipate. I have to say John Roberts

00:49:04.800 is a tremendous disappointment. Uh, somebody should have played more politics on that one.

00:49:11.240 Uh, and I'm not, you know, quite sure of what goes on sometimes in, in the thinking of frankly,

00:49:18.300 uh, uh, justice Kavanaugh. Uh, but I do know this Clarence Thomas is a, an absolute, uh, stalwart,

00:49:26.400 uh, a, a conservative, a consistent, constant, and courageous conservative, uh, who, you know,

00:49:33.280 how he thinks and the way in which he will assess and analyze a case. I have the highest respect

00:49:39.180 for Clarence Thomas and guess who voted against him and tried to destroy his, uh, nomination to

00:49:46.920 the court. None other than Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. Uh, it's appalling what this man,

00:49:55.140 uh, his record, his middle name is Robinette. Yes. Yes. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. Well,

00:50:04.100 this is truth, justice in the American way. We get it all out there. And he's a junior.

00:50:11.140 Now that means that you're going to have to, you'll probably admire my analytical skills. When I say

00:50:17.760 this, uh, that means that there are two guys named Robinette out there, uh, that junior thing gives

00:50:24.700 it all away. Uh, but anyway, it's, it's very funny. Uh, let's turn to, uh, your judgment of where we are,

00:50:32.620 uh, with this, uh, this, uh, Pete Buttigieg transportation secretary wanting to bring

00:50:41.120 in into the surveillance state. We pretty well gotten this into a, this country into a surveillance

00:50:46.520 state. I I'm sick of it. And I think we've got to roll it back and stop it now. Uh, because it's

00:50:52.540 just, it's overwhelming. He wants to bring in traffic, so-called safety cameras and write as many

00:50:59.680 tickets as, uh, they could. And you know, they will, uh, across the country. What do you think of

00:51:05.920 that idea? Very popular in parts of Europe? Well, I was going to say, I I'm aware of some

00:51:11.680 of those cameras existing over here on the West coast for speeding purposes, or if you run a red

00:51:17.180 light. Um, now I don't know if there's actually live bodies that are paying attention, uh, to every

00:51:26.000 car that goes through, but I do know that it exists and you can receive a ticket periodically.

00:51:31.400 Uh, it is annoying, but I think that if you're going to have that all over the place though,

00:51:40.860 I agree with you. It is, it's too much. We don't need that. I mean, I live in, I live in Nevada and

00:51:47.540 for maybe a place like the Las Vegas strip, obviously the more cameras you have, the better,

00:51:53.880 because there's, there's a lot that goes on, on the strip that you've got to keep eyes and ears,

00:51:58.600 uh, to the ground for, um, you've got millions of people coming in on a regular basis and there's

00:52:05.580 lots of money involved, um, that exchanges hands and whatnot. Um, but I think, you know, if you take

00:52:13.200 that into the rural part of Nevada, or even to where I am right now in Northern Nevada, outside of Lake

00:52:18.680 Tahoe, uh, people don't even want streetlights, let alone having cameras following their every move.

00:52:25.180 Well, good luck getting that passed. I'm a guy who used to run a big block engine at 120 miles an

00:52:32.080 hour down that highway, uh, from Tonopah into Las Vegas, uh, wide. Oh, the 95. And I, and I have to

00:52:40.780 tell you, I just hate to think of how much money I'd have lost before I even got to Vegas.

00:52:46.920 Yeah. That wouldn't fly over here in Nevada. Um, so, you know, mayor Pete, I, you know, he should

00:52:56.080 probably think about spending some more time at home with his significant other and his, his two,

00:53:02.340 two new children, um, because he's not really making much of an impact as the transportation secretary.

00:53:09.580 What do you, what do you make just on the, just a side note? Whoopi, Whoopi Goldberg apologizing

00:53:16.240 after she said the Holocaust wasn't about race. Uh, do you really think there's anyone who,

00:53:22.100 who is functioning cognitively, who doesn't understand what the Holocaust was, uh, the evil

00:53:30.100 and, and, and, and a statement like that from, from Whoopi Goldberg, just, uh, it's just amazes me.

00:53:37.240 Isn't it? And I think that, I think the thing is she's gotten away with, with being, um, so crass

00:53:46.000 for so long and just lying through her teeth, uh, for so long that she doesn't even think twice.

00:53:52.800 I don't think about what comes out of her mouth half the time. She's just, she's vicious. She's vile.

00:53:59.380 Um, most of those women are not kind at all. Uh, so does it surprise me? No,

00:54:07.240 not really, because let's see, let's see if something happens to her. I don't know if it

00:54:11.080 will, because now she's kind of backpedaled a little bit and, and trying to save, save herself,

00:54:17.700 um, and apologizing, I guess, to a degree, but I mean, what an ignorant statement. And I think it

00:54:25.740 just, it just further shows how, how the left can get away with, with all of this, um, this hate,

00:54:34.140 this talk of hatred, hatred and, and race baiting. And, and it doesn't matter what color they are on

00:54:39.340 the other side, right? It doesn't matter what gender they are on the other side. If you or I

00:54:43.700 were to say that we'd be done before you could blink. Yeah. And this, and the cancel culture would

00:54:51.920 be after us. And I know a few things about the cancel culture. Uh, Joe Rogan, uh, has guests on

00:54:59.620 his show all the time, spirited discussions, intelligent discussions, talking with two doctors

00:55:06.180 and all of a sudden, uh, Joni Mitchell, uh, comes knocking on the door and saying, you know, it's all

00:55:15.760 over, uh, it's just terrible. And then my favorite Megan Markle and the sad prince, Harry, Harry,

00:55:26.760 the sad prince, they had concerns. And the next thing, you know, Spotify is management of turning

00:55:32.640 things upside down because of, uh, I mean, how do you screw up being a prince? Right. He messed it up

00:55:39.880 entirely. They've got, they've got a gene in that family that just goes wacko at some point in various

00:55:46.720 generations. Uh, and you end up with Megan and the sad prince. Who cares what, who cares what those two,

00:55:57.020 I mean, what have they ever done? What are their accomplishments? Uh, what are their achievements?

00:56:02.760 What is their intelligence? What is their educational background? What, why in the world would anybody give

00:56:09.400 that damn what they think about anything? They're really good at, at narcissism. And I think that

00:56:16.720 probably the sad prince and our sad president, maybe they should write a book together on, on how,

00:56:23.920 how to mess things up, uh, with, with so much given to you, um, in such a short amount of time. Um,

00:56:31.920 it's, I don't know. I don't know why people pay attention to them. You know, we, we started America for a

00:56:38.520 reason. We don't need to listen, um, to, to the year, to the Europeans, uh, to the British. We are

00:56:45.360 no longer connected for a reason. Um, if there's someone happy, they can go back home. Um, you know,

00:56:53.380 in Spotify, it's funny because Joni, you mentioned Joni Mitchell and who was the other one? Neil Young,

00:56:58.840 picked up his toys and went home, you know, the majority of folks and keep moving, just keep moving.

00:57:05.080 Yeah. Just keep moving. The majority of folks who, who probably listened to them in their heyday

00:57:09.280 don't even know what Spotify is or care to know what Spotify is. So the younger generation, while

00:57:15.560 they do listen to some classic rock and, um, and some updated music as well, I don't think that

00:57:21.760 they're heartbroken over the loss of those two. No. And I don't think that, you know, I think a lot

00:57:27.700 of artists will find out a lot of people don't really give a damn about their politics. They need to

00:57:32.780 just be entertainers, uh, stay the hell out of politics. Uh, it's, it's ridiculous. And, but this

00:57:39.040 stuff about Prince Harry just frosts me because good Americans gave their, their lives and sacrificed

00:57:46.840 much, uh, to win the revolutionary war, to win the war of 1812 and the, and to, to absolutely idolize,

00:57:57.400 uh, royalty. And I'm sorry, Queen Elizabeth is cool. She's nice. The whole family. I, I mean, I,

00:58:03.940 I think they make for a really great Netflix story, but I, I really, I don't care what those people do.

00:58:11.000 So, uh, you know, go be tourist attractions, but stay the hell out of politics and especially our

00:58:18.280 politics. Good. Great. Right. I agree. And it's sad because we, we do live in a culture that,

00:58:24.500 you know, thrives off of celebrities and, uh, they read the magazines, they look at the covers,

00:58:30.820 they want, they see the Instagram accounts, you know, they want to dress like Megan Markle.

00:58:35.940 Well, everyone wants to, you know, it's insane. You know, I think we're now at a point where

00:58:41.080 we need to be okay with who we are and quit listening to these morons. Um, it doesn't,

00:58:47.140 it doesn't help anyone doesn't, doesn't better you as a person, because I think you actually

00:58:52.260 lose some brain cells when you listen to these idiots. I think you're probably right. And, uh,

00:58:57.440 we've been listening to so many idiots from Hollywood, uh, for, for whom Megan Markle,

00:59:03.440 I guess, as an emissary, uh, the, the, the British, I mean, and Prince sad, Harry, sad old

00:59:12.500 Harry. I mean, I feel like we should throw a pity party for him. He's a moper and a whiner and get

00:59:18.900 out of the way, Harry. How did he end up here? Did she adopt him? Uh, is it a mare? I mean, what

00:59:25.280 the heck is the relationship there? I don't get it. I really don't get it. He feels so entitled to

00:59:32.800 talk about American politics. I'm going to weigh on a way in on Boris Johnson. And I'm not, I don't

00:59:39.180 care about Boris Johnson, uh, but I do care about Amy Tarkanian. And I appreciate you being with us

00:59:46.320 today. We always give our guests the last word, Amy. So fire away. Oh, well, it's, it's an honor,

00:59:53.080 Lou, honestly. And, and I thoroughly enjoyed, um, being on with you every time that I get to be

01:00:00.980 in your presence and get to speak with you. I always feel like I come away with, with something

01:00:07.420 new and with more knowledge. And I honestly mean that I always feel like, like I'm a better person

01:00:13.580 when I've had a discussion with you, you have, you have a way of, of really explaining things easily

01:00:20.660 to, to people and making people also feel special and important. And I just want to thank you from the

01:00:27.740 bottom of my heart for having me on today. Like I mentioned to you before this started,

01:00:31.520 I was beaming from ear to ear when you sent out the invitation. So I think that 2022 is going to

01:00:40.020 be like Christmas for Republicans. And I hope that everyone stands strong and gets out and starts

01:00:46.820 knocking on doors and making sure that you go to the polls and you watch those polls.

01:00:51.520 Absolutely. And, uh, and if it's Christmas for the Republicans, it'll be Christmas for America. So

01:00:58.100 I, you know, it's, it's a wonderful, uh, uh, uh, thing to contemplate. And Amy, those were kind,

01:01:06.740 kind words. And I appreciate them, especially since all I did was offer up the middle name of the

01:01:11.760 president. That's a lot of credit for me. I always enjoy talking with you. I always leave so happy.

01:01:18.740 So thank you for starting my day off. Well, the right way.

01:01:23.160 Same back to you. Thanks so much. Always great to talk with you and come back soon, please.
