Matt Connarton Unleashed 6-28-23

0:41 Hello, everybody, Welcome, here we go. It is that time again,

0:44 Matt Connerton Unleashed and we are live from the studios of w m HIM

0:51 and Glorious Downtown Manchester, New Hampshire, also on Comcast ninety seven. If

0:56 you're in Manchester and hello to Oliver our online listeners across the nation and around

1:00 the globe. You can go to my website Matt Connerton dot com for oli

1:03 her live streaming options, social media links, contact info, show archives,

1:07 etc. Etc. Today is Wednesday, June twenty eight, twenty twenty three.

1:11 By the way, I am happy to report that Jenny has made at

1:15 home safely from Washington, d C. If you've been paying attention, there's

1:19 been a lot of travel issues amongst the airlines, and it looks like it's

1:26 going to be a rough uh. If you're if you're traveling, if you're

1:30 if you've already got your flights booked and everything for the fourth of July weekend

1:34 coming up, I uh, I wish you my best because they're expecting a

1:41 lot of problems. But there are a lot of problems right now. And

1:44 in fact, Jenny was supposed to be back last night and her flight was

1:49 canceled, and then first it was delayed, then it was canceled, and

1:52 then she was able to get a flight up this morning. So she's back

1:55 all as well. But at one point it was looking like she wasn't going

1:59 to be able to get out of there until Friday, and so she's lucky.

2:05 But people's action was the organization she was there with, they were able

2:09 to, you know, to help her, of course, a problem solve

2:13 and you know, and get back. But she said, yeah, there

2:15 were people there who were There were people in the airport in DC who were

2:21 looking at possibly not being able to leave until Friday, and they were trying

2:23 to leave yesterday. Just incredible. What's going on. So apparently a big

2:28 part of the problem is a lack of air traffic controllers. There's a real

2:31 shortage of those folks, and they're kind of important to the process of air

2:38 travel. But I've always said too about the airlines themselves, that with the

2:44 possible exception of consumer banking, you'd be hard pressed to find an industry less

2:49 interested and committed to a positive customer experience than the airline industry. Don't get

2:59 me wrong, I'm sure there's plenty of good people in the airline industry who

3:00 are doing the best that they can. And I certainly have a lot of

3:04 sympathy for the flight attendants who over the course of the pandemic, when it

3:08 became when it became fashionable for anti maskers to violently assault flight attendants on airplanes

3:15 twenty thousand feet in the air, that became like the cool thing to do.

3:20 But that seems to have settled down. But there are a lot of

3:24 problems right now in terms of air travel. So I was very happy that

3:28 Jenny was able to get a flight for this morning. So there you go.

3:32 We've got a great show for you coming up in just a few minutes.

3:36 We're gonna be joined a via phone. I assume via phone, although

3:38 sometimes he joins us via Skype. I should have Skype ready just in case.

3:43 Our friend Eric Pilcher, my favorite Conservative as I like to call him,

3:46 making his return this week. He will be joining us. And then

3:50 in the second hour, our musical guests for today is the band the Jaratones,

3:53 And that track that I played take the Day Off Work that is from

3:58 the Jarretones. That's one of their earlier ones. But they're gonna come in.

4:03 this band a lot, so they will be with us in our number two

4:08 Numero dose. Speaking of music and musical guests. If you miss yesterday's show,

4:13 please go back and check it out. We had Alex Cormier here and

4:16 he brought him He brought in his acoustic guitar and he played some songs for

4:29 well, and we're gonna get We're gonna get a sewn on by himself and

4:32 have himba featured guests as well. I want to have a conversation with him

4:35 specifically about all the things he's doing, and we touched on a little bit

4:39 of that yesterday. He's got a lot going on. Really interesting guy,

4:42 so that will be happening. But if you missed yesterday's show, please go

4:46 back. Not right now, stay with me live, but please go back

4:49 and take a listen when you get a chance. Alex SCormier just incredible.

4:57 the studio line is open six zo three two five six seven six zo three

5:33 Hop Knot right across the street at one thousand Elm Street. They've got those

5:36 delicious scoremet pretzels if an assortment of craft beer. And it is Wednesday,

5:41 which means tonight is industry night at the Hop Knot. Did I remember to

5:45 say the date? Abbles feel like I forgot It's Wednesday, June twenty eight.

5:50 Well maybe I did say it. I'm not sure. Now I've been

5:54 kind of changing it up lately in the in terms of the order in which

5:57 I say things at the top of the show. Just freshen it up,

5:59 you know, a little rearranging. But yeah, the hop Knot tonight's Industry

6:03 Night and this weekend Saturday night, July first. The musical guest at the

6:24 like it. But she will be at the Hopknot this weekend. We'll say

6:28 hello to everybody in the Facebook live chat. I wonder if Facebook is being

6:32 glitchy because it's it's unusually sparse in there. This is really unusual. I

6:40 wonder if there's some people trying to get in who can't for some reason.

7:33 five six seven six three two five six seven Um sou. By the way,

7:42 Eric, I want to uh, I just want you to know.

7:45 Just be aware that our our conversation today is being recorded. So if I

7:51 if I h you know, in case I should happen to pull out a

7:55 secret document. Now I have a piece of paper right here, but I

7:58 can't tell you what's on it. It's a secret, but I might wave

8:00 it around. Do you hear the rustling of the paper That might come back

8:05 to bite me later. Maybe I shouldn't have done that. Um, Matt,

8:07 if it's declassified and you share it, you if it's classified and you

8:11 share it, you can't declassify it after the fact, right, I could

8:16 have actually declassified this at one time, but I didn't. Oops. Well

8:24 just blame Hillary, that's right, that's right, Hillary. But our emails,

8:33 yes, and be emails, because that that is what's wrong with America

8:41 right now, something that happened seven years five, seven years ago. Yeah,

8:50 yeah, well, uh you did mention now during our exchange on messenger,

8:56 you did say that there was something specific I was it? Was it

9:00 that that you were interested in discussing as Uh oh, yeah, I am

9:05 completely Yeah, I guess I'm not shocked. I'm not shocked at the complete

9:11 arrogance shown in that recording. Yeah, I guess I'm more shocked and how

9:22 how ignorant your arrogance made you. One You're sitting there with someone who's a

9:31 member of the media, so nothing is off the record. You're sitting there

9:37 with a group with people who I would guess don't have clarence to even be

9:43 around classified documents, and you're waiving them around. Yes, yes, and

9:50 and let's let's not in these were actually like and there are some classified documents

9:58 that it's like, why is that classified? Still? Oh? Sure,

10:01 yeah, absolutely that a lot of people in the intelligence community, and fairness

10:07 to acknowledge that that there's there's over classification and uh and and things that,

10:11 uh well I heard some echo there and things that were classified at one time

10:16 that could probably be declassified now and so forth. But but that doesn't excuse

10:20 anything. This was like secrets on a plan. We had to let me

10:30 see if I can pull up the article, Matt, sure, sure,

10:31 yeah, And I found it. Yes, I got the text from TMZ.

10:37 Yeah, so, and immediately I sent it to you. And we

10:43 can't repeat what I said on air, right right, Um, well,

10:52 we knew, I mean, it wasn't a complete surprise because we knew there

10:56 was a recording. There had already been a transcript, least a partial transcript

11:01 of the recording that the media had, but then to hear the actual recording,

11:05 Um, and yes, yeah, go ahead here, Sorry to interrupt,

11:09 Matt. It soon devolved into a conversation about a secret plan against Iran.

11:16 I ran in that I'm not saying Iran as in the statement I ran

11:22 this morning. I am saying I ran as in the country, as in

11:28 the country that has nuclear weapons pointed righting at us. This was a secret

11:35 plan against them drawn up by Defense Department General Mark Miley. Uh, yeah,

11:45 General Milly. Yes, Uh what was that? I apologize? Oh

11:52 that's okay, Yes, yes, Miley. You're thinking of Miley Cyrus.

11:54 She has nothing to do with this. Um, she has some documents.

12:01 Maybe she's the only Miley I could think of. Yeah. No, General

12:03 Milly, with whom Trump has been at odds. And I assume that the

12:11 reason this document exists, as this goes back to And by the way,

12:15 at the time, I did give Trump credit for this. We were about

12:18 to I forget exactly what the context was, but in retaliation for something,

12:24 we were about to actually directly attack Iran, and Trump at the last minute

12:30 called it off and said, no, the response that we have planned would

12:35 not be reciprocal with what our grievance is, and we should not do this.

12:41 And I gave him credit at the time because I said, that's good,

12:43 because that is a potential flashpoint in my view for possibly World War three.

12:50 And so I think attacking Iran would have been a horrendous error. And

12:56 Trump seemed to be the cooler head in that scenario. So I assume that

13:01 the document in question here relates to that. But I don't know. Is

13:07 the cooler head, as I said, might need to re evacuate things.

13:15 Well, he was the cooler head in terms of calling off the attack,

13:18 is what I mean. Okay, I'll get I'll give him credit for I

13:22 try to give you know, I try to give Trump credit where I can,

13:28 you know, to fend off the accusations of Trump de arrangement syndrome.

13:33 Right, I mean, but here here, this isn't derangement syndrome. And

13:37 I'm sure there are conservatives out there that are gonna say I'm not a conservative

13:43 anymore, or heaven forbid, I go a flying spaghetti monster of conservatism that

13:50 is Donald Trump. Right, But I must say this right now to all

13:56 you conservatives that have that opinion of me spoiler alert, I don't care.

14:05 I don't care. I actually love it because because you know what, at

14:16 the end of the day, you're still talking about me, and you're still

14:20 listening to me, and you're still listening to me on WMNA Tradio on Matt

14:24 Connerton Unleashed every Wednesday at three so guess what you're My haters are your number

14:31 one fans. Thank you? There you go. Yes, yes. By

14:35 the way, we should clarify for anyone who's confused, Eric said three o'clock

14:39 because he's in the Central Lot time zone or o'clock Eastern. Yes, yes,

14:43 yes, um um so so yeah. I look, I'm a conservative

14:50 in the sense that I that I believe strongly in American values. I believe,

14:58 I don't care. We have a we have a derangement syndrome going on

15:01 right now, and it is not Trump derangement syndrome. It is political party

15:07 derangement syndrome. We sit here and we antiquate right and wrong based on political

15:15 affiliation. If you're if you're a Republican, what the Republicans do is all

15:24 right, and what the Democrats do is all wrong. If you're a Democrat,

15:28 you look at it and say, oh, the Democrats do everything right

15:31 and the Republicans can do no right. Yeah. I actually have a term

15:37 for that, Eric. By the way, I haven't said this on the

15:39 show in a long time, but I call it pig partisan ideological group think.

15:46 I love that. Yes, I'm stealing that. Yes, please please,

15:50 by all means, and it's ridiculous because it blinds you to what is

15:58 going wrong in our country. Wrong is wrong. Wrong does not have a

16:06 political party. Um, wrong does not have a political party. If if

16:15 Joe Biden had classified documents in his garage, he should be punished as much

16:22 as Donald Trump for having classified documents in a shoebox and Mara Lago, Well,

16:30 I have to I have to disagree with you there. I think that's

16:33 a punished as much. I think that's a false equivalence, Eric, because

16:37 um, one one involves obstruction of justice and the other seemingly does not.

16:44 One of them. I mean, they're they're not exactly the same situation.

16:48 Just looking at it as a classified document situation, Okay, okay, sure,

16:52 taking the obstruction out of it and just yeah, no, right obstruction

16:56 out of it, right right? Party does not matter. Like did Hillary

17:00 Clinton do wrong sending emails on an unsecure server? Yes she did, Okay,

17:07 Yes that was wrong. But I don't think it's wrong because she was

17:11 a Democrat or because I have some deep seated hatred for the Clintons. Right,

17:18 it's wrong because it's wrong in America. We have to get back to

17:22 that point. Oh, I agree, I although I don't think we were

17:26 ever there. I mean, I think it's worse than ever now because of

17:32 Trump, because the Republican Party has become such a cult of personality that revolves

17:37 around Trump. But I but I don't think I think people I mean,

17:40 at least for as long as I can remember, I think people have always

17:41 looked at things politically through a partisan lens, unfortunately, and in a very

17:48 binary way where everything is left or right, you know, liberal or conservative,

17:52 right or wrong, without really thinking about it much deeper than that.

17:56 To be honest with you, I think that's always been with us. But

17:59 I do think it's worse than it's ever been. It's worse. It's like,

18:06 it's almost as bad as that movie Mean Girls. It's just so abhorrently

18:15 cliquish and we can't get past that. Oh yeah, it's quite disturbing.

18:22 Yeah. Trump is like the Uh, it's been a long time since I've

18:25 watched Mean Girls. But watched Mean Girls. I will go on the record

18:29 and say I never watched that. Oh okay, I've seen it, but

18:32 a long time ago, but never be reviewed for classics. But yeah,

18:37 Trump, Trump is like the captain of the football team and uh, you

18:42 know, and you have to like whoever he says to like, and not

18:45 like whoever he says not to like. By the way, we have a

18:48 question for Eric in the chat room. Uh Hue, the gecko who's going

18:52 to be with us in studio on Friday. He says, Eric, who

18:55 is a conservative politician, you would like to see Republicans back. That's a

19:00 very good question. I think all the listeners that have listened to my segments

19:06 over the last couple of weeks and follow me on Facebook know who I'm backing.

19:11 I want the Republicans to rally behind Chris Christie. But I would I

19:15 would argue though, and you can probably predict that I would bring this up

19:19 that from my vantage point, Chris Christie's not He calls himself a conservative to

19:25 me though, he's more of a moderate I view him. But that's what

19:29 the part, that's what the conservatives need right now. We need a moderate.

19:33 Because I have said this since I've started coming on your show. Elections

19:37 are not won by party supporters anymore. You're not gonna win as a Democrat

19:45 just based on Democratic voters, right, You're not gonna win as a Republican

19:48 just based on Republican voters. You're going to win if you can get the

19:55 people like you, Matt. You have to get the independent, you have

20:00 to get the moderates, you have to get the undecided. That's how you

20:06 win an election. Donald Trump is not capable of getting them this year,

20:12 this cycle. He just isn't. Um. Ben Shapiro and I've mentioned this

20:18 video Ben Shapiro made, and I don't. I don't have an issue with

20:22 Ben Shapiro per se. I think more oftentimes than not, he makes a

20:27 valid point and his his over zealousness gets in the way. Yeah, yeah,

20:36 um yeah, I know what you mean. Um. So with that

20:40 being said, I don't think with that being said, I don't think he's

20:48 I don't think he's as bad as other conservative pundits out there. I don't

20:52 put him in the uh Stephen Crowder, Max Candice Owens. No. I

21:03 think he does make some valid points, but then his he just goes overboard

21:12 with that point and it goes to another level where it shouldn't. But regardless,

21:17 he said he doesn't think Donald Trump can carry the minority vote like he

21:23 did in twenty twenty. He knows he can't carry the women vote like he

21:30 did in twenty twenty. Right, So who in the Republican Party can look

21:37 at this and say he's a viable candidate. No, he isn't, because

21:44 the numbers that got him that close to the finish line won't be there anymore.

21:52 Well, he's kind of in a position where it's and this is not

21:56 anything new, he's sort of an extreme example of it. But both parties,

22:00 for as long as I can remember, you know they've got you've got

22:06 a kind of attack to the almost the extremes of whomever your base is in

22:10 your party to get to the nomination and then try to attack to the middle

22:14 to actually win the presidency. Which is why election after election we end up

22:19 with candidates who in the general election who nobody is really that thrilled with,

22:25 because you end up with people who are sort of seen as being on whether

22:29 it's fair or not. I mean Hillary Clinton, for example, in twenty

22:32 sixteen, I wouldn't call put her on the fringes in terms of she's no

22:36 like super left wing liberal, she's a pretty moderate ideologically, but nobody was

22:42 really that happy with her. But Trump is in this situation where the more

22:48 trouble he gets into, the more likely he is to be the nominee because

22:52 the Republican Party is such a cult of personality that revolves around Trump now that

22:57 they will absolutely make sure he's the nominee. He's according to polling data,

23:02 he's in a strong, much stronger position now than he was when he ran

23:04 in twenty sixteen. It's incredible, um and uh and running even running for

23:10 re election in twenty twenty in terms of you know, he's guaranteed to be

23:14 almost guaranteed to be the nominee. That's why I refer to him as the

23:17 presumptive presumptive nominee. But but you're right, he's not. He can't possibly

23:21 win the general election unless Biden just really really implodes, which is possible.

23:26 But he's a horrendous general election candidate. But here, here is where I

23:33 stand on this, and I stood on this ground for quite some time.

23:41 This situation is constantly evolving. Here now with this recording, if I am

23:52 an advisor for Rhonda Santis or Chris Christie, I'm writing on this tape right

24:00 now, I'm going on this saying, look at how nonchalant he is with

24:03 this country's secrets, because that's how you're going to get those people that are

24:11 undecided that sit at home on caucus night, or I forget the other term

24:19 for it, I'm sorry, the primary primary. There we go, thank

24:23 you primary night. You're going to get them to come out and actually have

24:29 a say. And that's the most disturbing thing with me in regards to our

24:34 voting process. People think that they're doing their civic duty just by going out

24:41 and voting. I believe it's a two step process. I believe you must

24:45 caucus or go to the primary, and then vote. That is your full

24:49 civic duty. If you only vote, you're only doing half way, and

24:53 really you're voting for who you think is the lesser of two evils, not

25:00 voting for who you really want. Right Well, that's and that's the position

25:04 that so many of us end up in on election day. Absolutely, caucus,

25:11 you're voting for who you want, or when you go to a primary,

25:15 you're voting for who you want. Right then, when you vote for

25:18 the lesser of two evils, I'm less likely to say, Okay, uh,

25:26 thanks, I guess you did something right, but you didn't do the

25:30 other half right. Um. Yeah. I have a major issue with people

25:36 who do not who do not Caucus. Yeah yeah. Um. By the

25:41 way, Hello to Chris Rose, who joins us in the chat, as

25:44 well as Chris from the band Edgewise, Hello, sir, and Huey.

25:48 The Gecko asked another question, This one's directed at me. Okay, fantasy

25:52 world, Christy versus Biden, who would you vote for? Matt Well,

25:56 So here's my my answer, so idiot. Logically, as someone who's kind

26:00 of center left, my politics would line up more with Biden than with Christie.

26:07 However, I will say Chris Christie is the kind of Republican that I'm

26:11 comfortable with. I'm not unlike say a Rhonda Santis. I don't find Chris

26:15 Christie, uh, completely terrifying. Although I don't trust him. I still

26:21 don't. I still don't trust I'll never trust him because with Bridgegate, I

26:23 believe he absolutely knew what was going on there. Um my, but idiologically

26:29 I would lean toward Biden. But at the same time, if it gets

26:32 if Chris Christie's a nominee and it starts getting close to election time and it

26:36 looks like Biden is really starting to come apart cognitively because I am very concerned

26:41 about that, then I you know, I could see myself getting into a

26:45 headspace where I'm going, I'm not sure if Biden is up for this.

26:49 Whereas Chris Christie, he's uh, you know, he's sixty years old,

26:55 but obviously next to Biden, he seems like a young whipper snapper. And

26:59 uh so I can see a scenario in that scenario where I would be tempted

27:03 to vote for Chris Christie. You you obviously would go for Chris Christi in

27:07 that does scenario? Eric, I like how you said starting to show cognitive

27:12 She's well, I see. The thing is with Biden, it's a little

27:17 hard to tell because he's been gaff prone his entire career. So when when

27:21 when there is a gaff? But but I'm concerned about today and this is

27:25 part of why this is sort of top of mind with me. I guess

27:27 he referred to China as as India, like he was getting those mixed up

27:32 and getting a rack and Ukraine mixed up or something, and it's like,

27:36 uh that that worries me. And I'll tell you what. There there there

27:38 are many many times where he seems really energetic and with it, you know,

27:41 when he's given a speech or whatever. And then there's other times where

27:45 it's like, oh no, if if we were in World War and he

27:51 had to nuke one of them, and he's just like, ah yeah,

27:55 dropping on Ukraine. Well, in that in that type of situation, it

28:00 wouldn't much matter, it wouldn't within within at least we would have entertainment for

28:07 our last moments, like, oh okay, Ukraine, we helped you for

28:15 so long. Here's a new to keep you warm. Yeah, yeah,

28:19 Hughey said, Uh. I think it's tough though, to sway any independent

28:25 voters with Christie or De Santis. Well, I think I think it's easier

28:29 with Christie because De Santis. See the thing about Ron De Santis and Eric

28:33 You've you've expressed in the past, Uh, some things that you like about

28:37 DeSantis. I don't know if that holds. But every time I see or

28:41 here to Santas talking to the media or any anyone anybody's interviewing him, the

28:47 first thing out of De Santis's mouth is, well, we have to defeat

28:49 wokeness and and leftist ideology and it's ruining the country. You know nothing about

28:55 inflation or or other economic issues or foreign policy. I mean, he'll get

29:00 to that, but his openings. The thing is always about wokeness and trans

29:06 people and critical race theory and all the stuff that Chris Christie doesn't seem to

29:11 have any interest in. But but De Santa's just to me, De Santa

29:17 seems like a psychopath, to be honest with you. That's a lot of

29:21 my issue with him as well. Yeah, when you look, when you

29:26 attack an ideology, you know you are attacking a personal viewpoint of someone,

29:34 right. And look, I can say anyone who knows me knows I'm against

29:41 white nationalism. Okay, but every time I come on your show, I

29:48 don't have to start off by saying I hate white nationalists, right right?

29:56 Yes, But and that's my issue with Ron De Santis is, yes,

30:02 is the woke movement uh somewhat of a problem? Well yeah, but is

30:07 it as big of a problem as blatant racism. Is it as big of

30:14 a problem as wanting to enforce the banned books lest nationwide? Is it as

30:23 big of a problem as inflation? No? Is it as big of a

30:27 problem as immigration control? Absolutely not. It's like, so I agree with

30:34 you that his scope it seems like he's trying to take the Trump people.

30:41 Yes, but he's but he's but he's he gets to the right of Trump

30:47 a Trump even and this was actually I thought a good moment for Trump,

30:49 even though I don't like the guy. Again, I try to give him

30:52 credit where a due. I don't know if you saw this, Eric where

30:55 Trump and he got a good laugh actually the crowd speaking that he was speaking

30:59 in front of when he's uh, you know, uh, dysanctimonious or whatever

31:03 he was calling him that day. You know, he's always talking about wokeness,

31:06 wokeness, I woke, woke. I don't even know what that means.

31:07 Nobody knows what it means. The way he said it was funny,

31:11 but uh, you know, because he doesn't seem to be particularly interested in

31:15 that stuff either, you know. And uh and I thought the way he

31:19 said it kind of made me laugh. Um, yeah, go ahead.

31:26 I think Rodd Scantists is going to fail. And here's why I think he's

31:33 gonna fail. And it's really it's I know, you don't like this.

31:38 It's kind of a conspiracy theory in a way. Rod de Santists targeted Disney.

31:51 Yes, and please hear me out. Okay, what network is a

31:57 part of the Disney family link ABC, what network airs the debates, airs

32:09 political programming during the election cycle? ABC. When you upset a media group

32:22 and this isn't like upsetting Fox News, You're upsetting a giant media empire because

32:30 Disney is far reaching. Oh, you mess with If you mess with Disney,

32:37 you're messing with ESPN, MTV. And yes, I know that crowd

32:44 probably doesn't give a hoot about what Rhnda Santis says. But you're limiting the

32:52 platforms that will paint you in a positive light or give you the opportunity to

32:58 paint yourself in a positive light. Yeah. So I think he really hurt

33:06 himself when he did that, referring to his war with Disney. Yes,

33:14 yeah, I think it hurts him. I think that's going to come back

33:17 and bite him. You don't tug on Superman's Cape and you don't make one

33:24 of the big three networks mad. Yeah, I mean I think it hurts

33:30 him just in a more just in a broader sense, and that I think

33:34 it gives his opponents in the primary kind of something to use against him.

33:38 Well, and it has been used against him somewhat where they say, well,

33:42 how can he be a conservative when conservatives are supposed to be pro business,

33:45 and here he is trying to take down the largest employer in the entire

33:51 state of Florida. You know what is he doing And he's doing it just

33:54 because they criticized but don't say gay Bill, the so called don't say gay

33:59 Bill, and this is just so he's actually harming, trying to harm his

34:06 state's largest employer out of vindictiveness, but also kind of going back to what

34:10 you were saying about how the way de Santists presents he's attacking somebody's viewpoint that

34:16 also will not work in a general election. Not that I think he's going

34:20 to be the nominee again. I think it's going to be Trump. But

34:22 it's what because see Desantist. To me, I remember there was a time.

34:27 It seems like a lifetime ago now, but there was a time Eric

34:29 where the Republican Party used to talk about wanting to be a big tent They

34:31 wanted to be a big tent party with a lot of dynamism. You know,

34:36 you don't have to agree with us on everything. There are some core

34:37 principles, but you don't have to agree on everything. Desantists to me,

34:42 seems like he wants to have the smallest tent possible, and if you don't

34:45 already agree with Desantist, he doesn't want you in his tent. I feel

34:50 like most candidates, if I were saying to encounter them in an elevator and

34:54 I were to say to them, Hey, I'm not I don't really agree

34:58 with you on most things, but what's your elevator pitch why I should vote

35:01 for you? I think most candidates would try to tell me something, try

35:06 to convince me. Right, I'm a voter, right, why wouldn't you.

35:08 I feel like if I were stuck in an elevator with ron to Santus

35:10 and I said that to him, he'd say, what, you don't already

35:14 agree with me? Well, you you're terrible. I hate you. I

35:15 don't want your vote. I mean, he might not say it that directly,

35:19 but I don't think he'd I don't think he'd even be interested in trying

35:22 to convince me. I think he would just be like, oh, what

35:23 are you some sort of leftist? I'm going to defeat you and your leftist

35:28 ideology, you know what I mean? He seems like he's intent on driving

35:32 people away more than he is on bringing people in, and that's a horrendous

35:37 general election strategy. Again, not that he's going to get that far.

35:43 You in the election cycle, your focus is too prong. And this is

35:51 going to sound very simple, but a lot of candidates miss it and it

35:54 really costs them. Your approaches is too prong. You have to hey,

36:00 cheap your supporters and be bring in new ones. Yes, and I think

36:07 that point is missed quite frequently. Yeah, Oh absolutely, and it's it's

36:16 really unfortunate. Yeah, I um, I think so. I think Chris

36:25 Christie is someone who can bring more people in again with his with his being,

36:30 with him presenting as a moderate as as he does, I think he

36:35 can. I think he would be a very strong general election candidate. And

36:39 I think de Santists would be again if you take Trump out of it,

36:42 and I think Decantist would be a horrendous general election candidate. Oh the Sciantists

36:47 gets killed. Yeah, yeah, And I liked when I mean, now

36:52 go ahead. I mean, I think personally Trump's as bad as to say

37:00 Antists. I think neither one of them makes it to when California closes.

37:06 I think it's over before that. I don't know, though, I don't

37:12 know. I mean Biden is uh I thought, what he I don't.

37:16 I don't know if you've had a chance to see this, Uh, Eric,

37:20 I think Biden made a horrendous mistake today with this Bidenomics thing. Did

37:25 you see this? I did not, So what's going on? He gave

37:34 a speech today, and you know, he's trying to take credit for a

37:37 lot of the strong points currently in the economy, and there are a lot

37:42 of them. I mean, actually, you know, if you take inflation

37:45 out of the equation, which is a global problem, not strictly in the

37:49 United States. If you take inflation out, most economic indicators are are very

37:53 good, and we have record job growth and so forth. So anyway,

37:57 so he gave the speech. He's trying to take credit for all the good

38:00 things, and he's calling it biodynamics. And I think that's a terrible idea

38:07 because all it's going to take is if if the economy happens to dip into

38:14 recession, which forecasters seem to be a little less worried about than they were,

38:22 say sixty days ago, but but it could still very well happen if

38:28 the economy does dip into recession. And he's already tried to tag the economy

38:37 things like you know, record low. We have the lowest unemployment in fifty

38:40 years and all of that. He's trying to tag that as biodynomics. He's

38:46 trying to brand it as that. But if the economy tips into recession,

38:52 then he's given his opponents this gift by putting a name on his anomic record.

39:00 And then I just know, you know, the ads, whether it's

39:04 Trump or whomever else, these campaign ads that they're gonna be putting out saying,

39:07 oh, look at what Bidenomics has done to the economy. It's it's

39:12 a very it's very risky, and it's a it's such a gamble, and

39:15 I think a very bad gamble. And um I I uh, I don't

39:22 know, I don't know. I don't know how that's gonna pan out for

39:25 him. Yeah, it's it's like, uh, it's that uh dodgeball mean

39:35 pulled strategy cot and let's see how it plays out for him. M yeah,

39:40 yeah, I just I don't know. Like this the twenty twenty four

39:49 election, the more I talk about it, it's just like that episode of

39:52 South Park, Bag of Douche or Turn Sandwich. It's like, oh,

40:00 okay, yeah, Like I might write in Dog well you could. I

40:09 suppose I might. I might write in Rocky Pilchure for President. Well,

40:15 uh, now, I don't think your dog is constitutionally eligible though. I

40:20 mean, I don't know how long a dog is supposed to live, but

40:22 I assume he's not thirty five. He'll be seven this Tuesday. Oh what

40:30 is that in human years? Is that? I mean that's forty two in

40:37 human years? Okay, all right, well that might work. Um uh

40:42 natural born citizen? Was your dog born in the United States? He was

40:46 he was born in a farm in Eldora, Iowa. Oh wow, very

40:52 Uh that's a very American. You don't get much more American than an Iowa

40:57 farm. I always say, actually, I've never set up I've never said

41:00 that before. Actually, but what's that? I think, Matt, we

41:05 need to start a movement on your shelve right here, right now. Rocky

41:09 Pilcher for President twenty twenty four. Wow. Yes, well then, uh,

41:15 you know, his political opponents would say, wow, this election's really

41:21 gone to the dogs. See what I did there. That's why I'm an

41:24 afternoon drive. But uh oh, Miriam banish showing us in the Facebook live

41:30 chat. Yes, yes, um yeah, so de Santis and Trump were

41:37 both in the state here in New Hampshire yesterday. Um, what do you

41:42 here there in Iowa? Are people still excited? You know? Trump actually

41:47 lost he did very poorly in Iowa, uh in twenty sixteen. But uh,

41:53 what's the vibe there currently or is there one yet? Maybe it's too

41:58 early for there to even be abe there. It's too early for there to

42:02 be a vibe. Like we have local political issues that are really really bad

42:09 right now. Uh. We have a group of homes in one of our

42:14 historic communities that is having imminent domain forced upon them. Yeah, um due

42:23 to uh flood quote unquote flood protection. Yeah, when they really where they

42:30 just want to put high rise apartments there, of course. I mean so

42:38 uh yeah, that's that's a major issue right now. Uh. I actually

42:45 have a friend Facebook friend who's lives in that neighborhood and she's fighting them tooth

42:51 and nail. Yeah on this. Um, I don't know if she'll win.

42:58 Um. I haven't really educated myself well on it. Yeah, but

43:02 I think when the government imposes imminent domain, you're kind of of a proverbial

43:07 creek without a paddle. Yeah. I think in most places there's they don't

43:14 really give you a choice. They tell you that they'll give you I think

43:17 they usually promised to give you fair market or even above fair market value for

43:22 the property, but they don't really, they don't really give you a choice,

43:25 especially if it's a if it's a highway. But but this is for

43:30 high rise apartments. Right after the flood of two thousand and eight, we

43:37 instituted the Floodplane, and the floodplane was to essentially ensure that this one hundred

43:45 thousand year flood would never affect us again. Yeah, all as stupid and

43:52 as ridiculous as that sounds, well, not necessarily but uh well, flood

43:59 like that ever happened again. I'm just telling me, telling you people,

44:02 we have greater concerns than your home. Right, it's time to hit a

44:07 church and go to an altar. It's about to be all over. Uh

44:19 So, yeah, I never understood it. And I worked for a TV

44:25 station, a local TV station when the when the flood happened, So I

44:31 was made me to it and I knew what was going on. Right,

44:37 But in order for us to get this exorberant amount of FEMA funds, there's

44:44 a clause and if I'm getting this wrong. If anyone from Cedar Rapids is

44:49 listening other than me, I apologize. But there's a clause for community improvement.

44:57 Yeah, and it's very loosely wordy. Yeah, that's a very vague

45:04 term to what improvement means. Right, But city council is thinking that that

45:15 means we're going to invoke imminent domain on this area and just build high rise

45:20 apartments right, right, And they probably rationalize that as they're they're raising the

45:25 value, raising the property values in the area. Yeah, I can see

45:31 how. I can see how that would happen. I mean, that's why

45:34 a lot of times, you know, especially with things like zoning laws,

45:37 for example, they're written in a way that they're they're they're vague enough that

45:42 you can kind of interpret them different ways or project onto them whatever your goal

45:46 or agenda might be. Right, And yeah, that's absolutely correct. But

45:58 so that's one of the local issues going on here. Yeah, we also

46:02 want a casino here in Cedar Rapids. The problem is is that the gaming,

46:08 the Idle Gaming Commission won't allow us to have one. Why reason being

46:15 is that forty five minutes south of us, there's Riverside, you know,

46:21 forty five minutes to the east of US there's Tama, and an hour and

46:27 fifteen minutes to the north of US there's Iola Capri, and ninety minutes from

46:32 US there's a casino boat in the Quad Cities. So they're saying that our

46:37 area already has enough casinos and if we were to get one, it would

46:43 take business from the right. Our argument in this community is, but they're

46:47 taking money out of our community now, right right. Yeah, that's that's

46:53 um not unusual what you're describing. I know in other parts of the country

46:59 and even in uh that's even come up here in New Hampshire where um,

47:04 a number of years ago. I don't remember the details, it was quite

47:07 it was quite a while ago, actually, but someone wanted to build a

47:09 casino in Salem, New Hampshire, and it never did get off the ground.

47:15 There was just too many things, too many things bumping up against it,

47:20 and it never happened. And you know, it would have created some

47:22 jobs. I don't know what else it would have brought that might have been

47:24 on the negative side of the of the ledger also, but uh, but

47:29 but yeah, it just never it just never ended up happening. But um,

47:32 Eric, we are we are approaching the top of the hour and I've

47:36 got to I've got to get our musical guests in. But I always love

47:38 talking to you, my friend, and I always look forward to Wednesday,

1:00:58 I dig it. What what where's the name come from? By the way,

1:01:00 is there a meaning behind the name of the assumption? Usually, but

1:01:06 I think the answer is a resounding nor. Well. I I have a

1:01:09 theory that I that I like to tell people. So I think it came.

1:01:15 I think it came from when we were just joking around and we were

1:01:20 talking about band names, and I was thinking about the Baritones, and I

1:01:23 was like, everyone likes the Baritones. What about his brother? The Jaritones

1:01:28 oh that was it. Yeah, I thought the name Jerry just sounded funny.

1:01:32 I mean it does. That has a lot We were going to call

1:01:35 ourselves Jerry's kids. That's the name of an actual like um like benefit program

1:01:39 or something for like people with some sort of condition. We didn't want to

1:01:43 use that. Yeah, he probably ended up to steer clear end up trademark

1:01:47 issues with that. Yeah. Yeah, we almost ended up with trademark issues

1:12:48 How do you guys describe what you do? Like if somebody asks you,

1:12:53 hasn't heard minimally? Yeah, I tried to avoid describing. Yeah,

1:12:58 I'd like to say that we were silly rock band, a silly little rock

1:13:03 band, because I really do, genuinely believe that there's a lack of silliness

1:13:09 and modern music today. Yeah, Like, I think it's all way too

1:13:13 serious and around. Yeah, we're just we're just trying to goof around.

1:13:16 Where's where's the goof? Yeah? Just remember that ad campaign? Remember that?

1:13:21 Yeah? All right, Hey, we want to sing about a high

1:13:27 school friend of ours. Okay, and by friend we mean enemy, enemy

1:13:30 arch enemy. Oh okay, this one, this next one is called Fauna

1:13:34 Stuck dies tonight. He's okay with this? Okay, okay, And this

1:13:40 is an I legally binding death thread at all f DT here it comes.

1:14:03 He came from a Lasco. He's name is Jacob. He's got a lot

1:14:11 of friends, but I don't really like him. He's six foot five and

1:14:16 he drives to damn. Now let me tell you why. I hate that

1:14:24 man. FDT tripped me on the floor on the way to the store.

1:14:33 He took my Davin card and got in his card. He drove to a

1:14:41 secret place I would never find. And that's why I want him to die.

1:14:50 FDT gonna stop dies tonight. Gonna stop die fa stop dies to Nye

1:15:00 Foni Stop's gonna die tonight. Chick O, he dies tonight. Zigo,

1:15:08 he's all out of wife. Chick he's gonna pay chicken die, hold on,

1:15:16 hold on, hold on, well, the owner of a priestly step

1:15:20 outside, Jacob. That means you it's time to die, all right?

1:15:32 on the bone, Or how about the time he betnet high. I heard

1:16:26 and I don't know how Buddy died. He died, but not legally.

1:16:40 Damn. Very nice, gentlemen, Thank you, very well done,

1:16:54 very more truthful version. There probably was a time when Jacob fed you play

1:16:59 versus he did. He did feed me dog food too. Actually, oh

1:17:02 my goodness, I can see why you would want him to die. I

1:17:05 mean not really, of course. Oh no, no, no, no,

1:17:06 no, really, not right right. Mariam Banish says on that the

1:17:15 previous song there, she says, they did a great job of replacing the

1:17:18 sweares. Also like the goofing around vibe. Thank you so much. I

1:17:24 tell you, where's the goof? She found the goof? She found it,

1:17:28 she pointed it out. Even yeah, excellent. Who are you?

1:17:34 um, okay, Ween Different huge huge influence. Yeah we both like

1:17:40 Ween Devo huge influence, a lot of like eighties rock groups. That's like,

1:17:46 but you're bad. You like the older stuff. I I like to

1:17:48 go way back. I go I go back as far as like some of

1:17:53 the fifties stuff, like Chuck Berry, Marty Robbins. Jack brings all the

1:17:58 folk to the table and then you got the punkin Scott. Yeah, yeah,

1:18:03 exactly, and that that comes together to make a nice broth. I

1:18:06 have an insufferable love for electric guitars and brass sections. There you go,

1:18:11 there you go. Oh yeah, Jack, you reminded me to a little

1:18:14 bit of on that last song of Fred Schneider from the B fifty twos.

1:18:17 Oh thank you. Yeah, the B fifty two s got when he got

1:18:20 that comparison from my mom about five years ago. Yeah, you were rightly

1:18:27 heard us writing that song. Yeah, the Bedroom Wien is great. Peter

1:18:54 I've been staring at your giant head this whole time. Yeah, it's filling

1:18:58 me with hope an ambition. We want to sing this song we got.
