Talking on all political subjects and taking on all colors, this is Matt Flynn direct.
With your host, Matt Flynn.
Welcome to Matt Flynn direct.
Community statewide on civic media.
Our lines are open 844-967-2789.
No subject is off limits and all points of view are welcome.
Remember, you're not woke if you don't know history.
You're not woke unless and until you know history, you're going right to the front lines
of history in the making and as always, there's a lot of it being made.
Well, today, the House finally voted in committee, Republican majority, the jury-mandered majority,
I might say, 18 to 15 on party lines to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland
Security.
Now, the Constitution says you can impeach someone, it can be a president, it could be a judge,
Supreme Court justice, it could be a cabinet member, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
What crimes, much less high crimes, did Alejandro Mayorkas commit?
What misdemeanors did he commit?
The articles of impeachment and they are going to be submitted to the floor and very likely
to be voted on this week.
Say there are two things, breach of public trust and willful and systemic refusal to comply
with the law.
Could you be more general, maybe, I mean, breach of public trust?
I have trust in the guy, the majority of the country does.
breach of trust by Marjorie Taylor Greene, for instance, okay, and how about willful
and systemic refusal to comply with the law?
What law?
He complies with all of the immigration laws right now.
The irony is that a new tougher law has been proposed by a negotiating team, bipartisan
in the U.S. Senate.
There would be a lot tougher than a present law.
It would be unlawful from Mayorkas to on his own freelance and apply laws and enforce
them that weren't passed by Congress.
Congress demanded these new laws.
And then Donald Trump, who is lagging in his campaign, latest polls show Biden ahead
of him in the swing states, said, I need this to campaign on.
Do not pass any legislation that people are still compouring in under our present law
and then I'll make an issue of it.
Now here's the deal.
Here's the deal.
The only other secretary of anything, the only other cabinet member in history, was a guy
in the 1870s who was impeached.
Ulysses Grant's Secretary of Defense, they used to call the Secretary of War.
And he was as crooked as the dog sign like.
He took bribes.
He took bribes.
Ulysses Grant personally was very honest, but he was a very weak manager when it came
to discipline him people who were loyal to him.
He was impeached in the House of Representatives and he was acquitted in the Senate because
they couldn't get two-thirds votes.
That's the only other time.
In this time, they're going after Mayorkas for no high crimes, no misdemeanors, no nothing.
Each of the public trust is not an impeachable offense.
Number one, and number two, failure to comply with the law, you have to say what law?
Did he murder somebody?
Did he steal?
What law?
And they say the immigration law, oh really, okay, which one, the one that is being proposed
and you refuse to vote on, or some other law that no one ever heard of?
This is the same crowd that voted to reduce his pay to $1 a year.
This is the same crowd that voted to reduce the pay of the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd
Austin, to $1 a year.
This is the crowd that supported Tuberville's refusal to promote and blocking promotion
for 10 months of our military officers.
This is the crowd that has voted not to pay our military.
And then at the last minute, they won't pass a budget.
The day of the shutdown at about 5 p.m., they do a continuing resolution for a couple of
weeks or a month and a half, that kind of thing.
This is the crowd.
This is a fake.
You know, the other thing about it, they need an impeachment.
Their main guy, Donald Trump, has a serious problem.
And I'm not talking about the 91 felonies that he's accused of.
I'm not talking about raping Eugene Carroll in line about it twice.
And I'm not talking about the porn star, where he fraudulently hid some money in violation
of New York law.
I'm not talking about any of that, even about his submissiveness to Putin.
What I'm talking about here is he was impeached twice and he was not convicted because the
first time at the end of all the senators, one Republican voted to convict him for trying
to commit extortion against Zelensky, President of Ukraine.
And the second time, eight senators supported convicting him for the insurrection, Virginia
and it up.
Now you think that 58 senators out of 158 percent of the Senate and the majority of the
House is pretty clear indication that this guy is no good.
But the Constitution requires two-thirds.
Two-thirds now is 67 senators and 67 senators didn't fall in line and as a result, he wasn't
convicted.
But they know that's a problem.
It's kind of a weird thing.
The guy's been impeached twice.
He's the only guy in history that's been impeached twice, only President.
And so they need a conviction.
They need a scalp and they've talked about going after Joe Biden, but that's the bridge
too far.
Joe Biden is a terrific president and he hasn't done anything wrong.
And it's one thing for these clowns in the Republican caucus to vote to impeach Alejandro
Mayorkas.
It's quite another thing to do that with Joe Biden when 18 of the Republicans represent
districts that Joe Biden carried in the last election.
They pull something like that and those people can be out of a job and they know it and
they're afraid.
But they spin off of this and there is a spin off of it and a couple of them.
One of them is this sends a message to Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping, to the jihadists in the
Middle East that are attacking our troops and a Putin that we're divided.
We have a Congress that voted to reduce the pay of some of the principal cabinet office
to one buck and by the way, it would never pass the Senate it died so it didn't happen.
They did it, however, to show discord, to show division.
And now the clowns are impeaching the Secretary of Homeland Security.
They lick their chops, Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping, Putin, everybody in the Middle East that's
shooting at our troops.
They're looking at a Congress that very came close to not even paying our troops, reducing
our defense secretary to a buck.
And the other spin off of this is in Texas, Abbott, the governor, has closed off Shelby
Park in Eagle Pass.
Why is that important?
I've been to Eagle Pass, right in the Mexican border, Shelby Park is right in the Mexican
border.
They're putting up razor wire.
Spring Court said that the federal agents can take it down and they, at gunpoint, they're
prohibiting federal agents from going in there.
They're armed.
There's the Texas National Guard.
And there's some people thought it'd be a great idea.
I can't imagine they'll do it to put crocodile moats or alligator moats.
So some woman and her two little kids are trying to get across the Rio Grande and they get
eaten.
Now, that's not going to happen.
I don't think there's stupid enough to do that, but that's one meme that's going around.
It's very cruel and a woman and her two young kids did drown because the federal agents
were barred by the Texas people from going in to help them.
There is a group in Texas, in Texas, the secession party.
Their president is again named David Miller and he was asked, what did he think about Gregory
Abbott barring federal agents from even going in to the border itself, which under the
Constitution is the jurisdiction of the United States government.
And he said he was very pleased.
He said it validates and confirms the position we've held all along.
And that is the position of South Carolina in 1860 and 1861 that because Abraham Lincoln
was elected and he was an abolitionist that that had broken the compact between the
states and the federal government and therefore the states could succeed.
It's a core issue of the Civil War, slavery being at the bottom of it.
That was resolved at Shiloh and Bull Run and T&M, Gettysburg, a lot of places.
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
The U.S. Supreme Court after that issued a decision.
It was in litigation.
Some of the Confederates said, well, let's bring a lawsuit that says we can succeed.
Lincoln court said, no way, unanimous.
The clowns in Texas are now dividing the country again, doing that Joe Biden has a decision
does he federalize the Texas National Guard, go in with our own troops and if they resist
a rest-who-ever resists and arrest Abbott for insurrection and put Abbott in jail.
In the middle of a campaign for president, with our troops under fire in the Middle
East and a Republican party that may not pay them or promote them and with China getting
active in the South China Sea, okay, coming up, how did Donald Trump go from 5 million
to 83.3 million in two defamation cases fairly close together?
At least surprise at what the experts are saying, coming up.
Welcome back to Metrolin Direct, our lines are open, 844-967-2789.
Did you ever wonder, I did, but I didn't wonder too long, I'll tell you that, why the first
jury for E. Jean Carroll gave her 5 million bucks and I'm not saying that's not a lot of
money, so obviously a lot of money and they thought it was a lot of money for defaming
her. And why the second jury, not that far later, really, when you think about it in litigation
terms, less than a year, came back with 83.3 million, 83.3 million. And E. Jean Carroll's
lawyer did a great job in the closing of the summation and said, I'll leave it up to
you whatever it takes to make him stop. That was a very good way to put it. Because he
had been sadistic to her, deliberately hounding her, resulting in death threats she had to carry
a gun, she had bought a pitball for her apartment, was afraid to go out, destroy her life, say this,
sadistic conduct. And I was reading what some of the experts said who were closer to it and I
think one may have actually been at the trial and I agree with them. And that's this. Donald
Trump did not testify in the first hearing, first trial. He didn't even appear at the first
trial. Juries are very reluctant if they don't see the object. One of the reasons, for instance,
that defense lawyers always tell their clients, don't take the stand because if you take the
stand, you're going to screw up, you may lie about something and then they'll feel good and
vindicate about nailing you. But if they have any doubt at all, it bothers Jury. So Trump wasn't there,
you know, busy guy, blah, blah. Yeah, they're saying great five million bucks. If he had not come to
the second trial, in my opinion, the opinion of some of the experts, it's very, very possible.
That the argument, make him stop. Okay, well, we'll give him 10 million. We'll give him 5 million
again or 15 million. Why did they go from 5 million to 83 million? And the reason is what Trump did
in the courtroom. He basically squeezed out his former lawyer who advised him not to show up and
that was the correct advice because Trump's very vain, egotistical. And he thought, okay,
if I go now and I show myself and I explain things and blah, blah, blah, they'll realize they
shouldn't award any money at all, something like that. But what he did was he continued to mutter
under his breath, say such, the Catholic things like, oh, now she can remember, huh? Juries could hear
that. Juries don't like that. But the icing on the cake was when he got up in the middle of the
closing argument of the other lawyer, of her lawyer and stalked out and Judge Kaplan said,
and as he's required to, let the record show that Mr. Trump has left the courtroom.
That level of anger, that level of total disregard for court rules. His lawyer is arguing with Judge
Kaplan, who's considered a fairly good judge. Juries will punish that. In other words, if they don't
see it right in front of their noses, they don't necessarily always appreciate the severity of what
happened. They don't always appreciate the impact of it, all that. But when somebody gets in their
face and he gets up in a rage and stalks out, and he's a fairly big guy physically, and E. Jean
Carroll is a slim, attractive, not too tall woman. And the level of disregard hatred, really,
I think really bothered those, those jurors. And I'm not the only one that thinks that. And they
thought, okay, we will put an end to this. If he had not shown up and his lawyer got an up and
said, look, you know, he gave an interview to Caitlin Collins. And, you know, that's his position.
Okay, blah, blah, blah. But she's, she's already gotten five million. Give her a million more.
Give her two million more. All right, give her five million more. He would have saved 78 million
dollars if he hadn't done this. The other thing to keep in mind, I don't know if you've ever
served on a jury. I've been called the number of times and never been selected for a jury because
trial lawyers don't want other lawyers on the jury because they lose control over the whole case.
But my experience has been frequently, you know, you have 12 people. Well, in this case, I guess you
had, you had nine. There's a six person jury and a few extras and they let them stay on and
deliberate. But frequently happens with juries is people roll over a lot. Somebody will say,
all right, give her five million. Another person might be very offended. Give her 200 million.
blah, blah, blah. You know what they do? They frequently take an average of it. They pull out their
phone, the, the, the calculator and the average it. And sometimes they throw out the outliers,
the high and the low and the average, the rest, 83.3. How do you think they got to that? They
averaged them. So, I mean, I'm glad that it happened, but he was very foolish to even show up.
And if he was going to show up, he should have sat there respectfully and sat there through the
whole summation. Go to the lines, John of Boaz, my friend. Thanks for going, John. What's in your
mind today? Who said all cats are gray at night? Ben Prinkland. So, I thought, I thought he
said a penny saved as a penny earned. What's on your mind today, John?
He and you know how they used to talk about him. Well, give me a chance to explain something about
Mr. Trump, our former president, because like you said, he is a little bit behind the eight ball,
so to speak. He is competing against a real good democratic president, Joe Biden.
So, Matt, what happens when we think about listing some of the foul ups he made on his first
attempt at president from 19 from 2016 to 2020? He did everything. He mixed up the CIA,
the Defense Department, the National Security Advisor, when Iran was stepping on our toes.
Right. Yeah, you know what he did, and I think you're under something. Not only doesn't he have any
knowledge or expertise, but he didn't even read briefing memos. They said that the president gets
a very confidential briefing memo every day from the CIA about all the terrible things that
happened in the world, very confidential. He wouldn't read them. They had a boil at down in
Ducks and Bunnies, like on one page. And frequently they had to give him graphs because he couldn't
he couldn't be bothered to read him. Secondly, what he did is he is servile to Vladimir Putin. He's
a Russian agent basically because he's been paid. He owes the Russian mob a lot of money. And also
because there is the cup or file video, the golden shower video, and he's definitely afraid it will
come out. And he is like Tim Scott was to him. He's like the Tim Scott to Vladimir Putin.
Thanks for calling, John. Coming up, coming up very, very shortly. The monitor of Trump's businesses,
I believe has uncovered a massive tax fraud coming up.
Welcome back to Math and Director. Lines are open 844-967-2789. Going to the lines first, Bob,
and Madison, my friend. Thanks for calling. What's in your mind, Eddie, Bob?
Well, I'm trying to figure out why Trump did something stupid like he did in the courtroom to
get himself a $65 million extra penalty and so forth. It doesn't make a lot of sense unless you
consider that he's picking on senators and congressmen all the time. And they cow-tow to him so
easily that I think he thinks he can get away with things a lot easier than the reality is.
And so I think that's why he treats people awful because he gets away with it against some
pretty big people, congressmen. Yeah, that's a good point. The thing is you can't get away
in front of a jury. And this is an anonymous jury. You can't follow up with them. Number one,
number two, he's paying, this last year, he paid $50 million in legal 50, $50 million for all
his lawyers and all his cases. And you know what he's taken out of his, taking out of that fund
after the 2020 election where he said the election was rigged and everybody sent in 10, 20 bucks type
thing and he made tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions and he got up to $250 million.
And then he didn't use it to challenge the election or anything like that afterwards. He basically
used it for his legal fees and whatever personal reasons he wanted. I think there's a legal problem
with his doing that, but he paid his lawyers with it. And Bob, the other thing I want to say is,
and I mentioned this the other day and I was very glad to see this idea now beginning to circulate.
He defamed her once and he got, she got five million bucks. Defamed her again,
repeated the same stuff. She got 83.3 million. He is now not personally saying it, but posting
other people saying it. Now that is defamatory. If let's say that you say somebody, for instance,
has a felony conviction or murdered his wife, say you say something like that and it's totally
not true. That's the family story. You'll pay damages. If the next time you post a newspaper article
on it on social media saying the same thing, but having the editors say this is what was said in
the previous trial or something, that's the family story. And he keeps doing that now. I do not know
if Eugene Carroll wants to go through the grind again, collecting 83 million from a crook who
will hide it is going to take a lot of legal skill in the part of her lawyer, but he's continuing
to do it. He's continuing to do it. And the bottom line on that one for me, the bothers me most
of all is, okay, he's lied and he attacked her. But the relentless sadism of trying to crush
a woman who is by herself is not politically powerful, is not wealthy, except for the verdict
she's getting against him, is not connected, is not influential. The relentless sadism to
destroy a human being, that is something that's inexplicable to me. And I think it shows a
a core of hate in his character. And we don't need that in the President of the United States.
Unfortunately, we had it for four years with him. We don't want it again. We don't want it again.
Thanks for coming by. Well, we talked about this yesterday, a special monitor named Barbara Jones,
very distinguished former federal judge, appointed by Judge Ingram to be the monitor
of Donald Trump's business enterprises throughout this litigation because of a big enough number
comes in. If Engoran says he has to pay $370 million or $250 million, you want to make sure that
he hasn't been a shester about it and stuck it over in Switzerland or something. So we mentioned
yesterday, he's dissolved something like 161 of his companies. He has 520 or 30 companies.
Everything is a little unit that he's separately incorporated to make it difficult to go after him.
Well, in the course of doing it, and I alluded to this yesterday, but it's been fleshed out
considerably. I've heard other people write and talk about it as this. She's going through the
documents and she sees $48 million come into it, came into it. And she goes, what is that?
And as people go, well, let's say it's a loan. Oh, it is, okay. Because if it was income, he
didn't pay taxes on it. If you get, if you're going to nail 100 Biden for a million and a half,
you better nail this guy for 48 million. Okay, and loan. Can I see the loan documents, please?
Uh, loan documents. What do you mean by that? Well, if you have a loan, there's some documents.
Yeah, well, this was verbal. This is verbal. $48 million verbal loan. Great. You know,
parenthetically, look, if you go to your parents or your brother in borrow a grand or you lend them
a grand, that can be verbal. You know, that's a handshake. 48 million bones is a lot of mula.
It's a lot of mula. So she goes, well, okay, let's see who loaned it to him. Doesn't say who
loaned it. Oh, that's um, Chicago unit acquisition. Not kidding. What did they acquire?
I don't know. I don't remember. Why did they loan them 48 million? I don't know. There's no loan
documents. How, how soon does he have to pay it back? And is there an interest rate?
I don't know. Because you know, if there's no interest rate, that's considered a gift.
And then they had to pay gift tax. Yeah, I don't know who they are.
This is the former president running for president. Being accused, actually being found guilty of fraud
by Judge Engoran and some re-judgerant. This whole deal is only about how much she has to pay.
She turns over some stones and see some worms crawling around under her. She goes, what's that? Yeah, I
don't know. It's all verbal. Here's my question. At what point do people look at this and say,
this is too much. This is too far. This is not business. It's not business.
When she asked for information on the 100-and-some-odd companies you dissolve,
they stonewall there for eight months, eight months. And the problem is you and I, and most people,
the jury says you owe 83 million. And of course, that would kill most people. But I mean,
let's say you had the money to pay it, you go, okay, you appeal, and then you're ready to check.
That's only the beginning of the collection process with somebody like this.
Only the beginning of it. And any rule that you may think of that binds him to obey the judge
and all that, that's out the window. That's out the window. This guy feels that he's bound by no
rules, but he's very serious problem. Because if some entity paid him $48 million, they didn't do it
just because they're good guys. Nobody pays that. Especially people named the Chicago unit.
They don't do that kind of thing. So was it for services rendered?
Like he gets money from Chinese banks, then he defends China. And he gets money from Russian
oligarchs and he defends Russia. If it was for services, that's income. And he had to pay tax and he
didn't. If it is not for services, but it's a loan, we're entitled to know what the interest rate
is, what the terms are, how soon it has to be repaid, what the condition is, what the purpose
of the loan was. None of that is available. They just say it's verbal. They just say it's verbal.
This is just another step in the saga. Some special prosecutors are going to have to look at this too.
But remember one thing, keep this in mind. In my view, the principal reason may be the only reason
he ran for president was to stay out of prison. Or in this case, stay out of prison for criminal
tax evasion. Or try to avoid civil judgments. What are you going to do? Go to the White House
for the collections lawyer and the local sheriff and say, I'm here to seize your house.
Well, my house is the White House. You can't seize it. Get the hell out of here.
And then he'll hang on for four more years and maybe even beyond that.
Maybe beyond that. And you know, the pathology and the Republican Party is extraordinary.
This is an item that I saw. And you know, Tim Scott, I thought he was servile.
I thought Trump was sadistic to him to humiliate him like that in front of everybody.
But I always thought, you know, he's kind of a genial guy. What the heck? Kind of a genial guy.
Coming to find out, Trump allies have now warned him to knock it off. And what is he doing that
had to be knocked off from? He has hired opposition researchers to go after a least
of panic and other potential vice presidential picks of Trump to trash him.
So that Trump will have to pick him as vice president. Now, let me tell you something.
Trump is not going to be elected and nobody's going to be vice president other than Kamala Harris.
However, however, if there was going to be somebody, it ain't going to be Tim Scott.
I mean, Tim Scott looked terrible on that stage in New Hampshire where Trump humiliates him,
to grade him, says, you must really hate Nikki Haley. She appointed you and you stabbed her.
And he comes around and Trump was afraid I think he was going to attack him. And he looks at him with
this servile, really sad grand goes, I love you. Well, who the hell says something like that?
Other than to your wife, come on, give me a break. What do I mean? I love you.
It was a crazy thing. It was servile. He'd been whipped by Trump and he begged for more.
He's not going to be vice president, but what he's going around apparently, what he's going around
doing is trashing the opposition. Now, at least to panic,
as plenty of things on plenty of stains on her escutcheon, let me put it that way.
And not the least of which in Trump's mind is that she is disloyal early on right after
the insurrection. She went after Trump big time, say, she should be prosecuted. And there may be
other things as well. I don't know. Gina will clear my friend. Thanks for calling.
Gina, what's in your mind today?
Hi, Matt. Great show as usual. Boy, you know, seriously, people need to wake up because this guy
is a has dangerous personality disorder. And he does. And he has to be on top. I bet he was
a positional defiant disorder when he was a kid and it grew up and it got even worse than
adults. You know, and this guy has never been held accountable. Let's think about kids in
school or, you know, they're nasty to people or don't care anybody about themselves or, you know,
to climb people bullies. You know, they get help. This guy has never been held accountable for
a thing in his life. And he's known for prolonging losses so the people run out of money and they
can't even take him down for stuff that they've pulled on him. I mean, I think people need to
really and truly. This is not a Republican presidential candidate. He says, he's a liar.
He's a fraud. He's a laster. He looks at young girls and talks about, oh, he, you know, wasn't his
daughter. He'd, you know, be with her. I mean, come on, folks, what in the world are you thinking
and think of the young kids? No wonder we got kids depressed. We got huge amounts of young people
with depression, no hopes for the future. Take a look at these people that are running around
supporting Trump. It's like they got a school of some sort to see it that way. That's nasty of me,
but I've about had it with those people because they're sick. And what they're doing is hurting
our country significantly and those idiots that are sitting in the border, the border is water.
Have that chance to do something about it. And what are they doing? Coen after Homeland
security. Give me a point. Excellent call. Excellent call. Thank you so much. And by the way,
that call you made yesterday about the hospitals up in the Eau Claire area was terrific. That lighted
up the lines. So love to hear that kind of stuff. I see when the lines don't, don't hang up.
We're going to step away briefly coming back. I'm coming right back to the lines. And a judge
has ruled now that minor errors in absentee ballots should not bar the ballot. Good news coming up.
All the time. I keep the ends out for the tight advance because you're mine. I walk the line.
Because you're mine. I walk the line. Because
you're mine.
Welcome back to Mad Flynn Director. Lines are open 844-967-278. Now I'm going to go right to the
line's mat of middle 10. My friend. Thanks for calling mat. What's in your mind today?
Hello, Mr. Flynn. I wanted to bring up something I thought interesting and maybe an idea.
The Postal Service is a tool for democracy. It's a way to send information to every person in
the country a lot more affordably than commercials and whatnot. And Andrew Yang back in 2016,
he did something interesting that I like. He had a PowerPoint presentation showing data points
of all the ways that America has fallen down since the 50s compared to other countries. Drug abuse,
job loss, financial problems, income inequality, all these things. And I'm wondering why the
Democratic Party can't just send every American through the mail a bullet point presentation showing
maybe on a piece of paper to all the ways that Republicans contributed to the position that
we're in right now in the world and all of our problems. From George Bush with the illegal Iraq war
that angered other countries, also Putin, Putin kind of lost a lot of respect for us and will
work with us because of that. Then you had the 2008 financial crisis worldwide problem, again,
bush policies. Then we had Obama did indeed make an error in Syria, but then we had Trump.
A whole bunch of other problems came from him. He assassinated the general and I ran, which angered
I ran. He works with Putin, but a lot of this insecurity it seems is because of the Republicans.
And on that list, you could also point to all the jobs that Democrats have created, all the
messes that Republicans create that we come in and check. You know, there's all these things that
we could just put on a piece of paper to send every American. And once they see that,
we might also be able to figure out how many people just can't be saved and how far down the
Kool-Aid gone, so to speak. So I just wonder what you think about that. Thank you.
Yeah, that's a great idea. Remember one thing, Matt, I want to back up what you just said.
The United States Post Office is mentioned in the Constitution. It's one of the few agencies
or entities that's actually mentioned in the US Constitution. We have to constitutionally have
a post office. So whenever the Republican Party tries to marginalize it, they really want to
privatize it. The guy that founded FedEx graduated from Yale University in 1968 in the same class as
George W. Bush, and they were both members of Scull and Bones together. So George W. Bush and
this guy were thick as thieves. And a lot of the legislation that you see passed, you don't know
the full background on. But for instance, the US Post Office was required to reserve for pensions
and healthcare billions of dollars, but FedEx and UPS were not. And right now, you can say all
you want about the post office, I think it's a terrific organization. I was in college over
Christmas as I would throw bags of mail around the post office to get some extra money during the
vacation. It's very efficient. It's very, very good. And if you privatize it, you'd be spending
three bucks to mail a letter, five bucks to mail letters. So we have to hold on to it. You remember
that that Republican scrapped some of the sorting machines back before the last election.
And especially in the large urban areas, they could sort 50,000 pieces of mail an hour
and deliberately did that to slow up absentee ballots getting in time under the law.
The Republican Party has pulled this stuff for a long time. But whenever you're in a discussion
with one of them, just remind them and say, the United States Post Office is mentioned in the US
Constitution in the 18th century. And we're not going to get rid of it. Now, yeah, I love the idea of
direct mail. The Democratic Party does a ton of advertising like that, certainly on social media.
Without exaggeration, I get 200 emails a day or text from candidates all over the country,
you know, wanting money from, and you contribute as much as you can. And then from the Democratic
Party of Wisconsin, in my case, the Milwaukee County Democratic Party, the DNC, the DCC,
but I like your idea of highlighting with two columns. One is everything the Democratic Party
has done in the last 50 years and everything the Republican Party has done. And the statistic that's
most chilling to me is that since 1989, 1989, 98 percent of the new jobs that were created in this
country were created under Democratic presidents. And since 1989, 2 percent of the new jobs are
created under Republican presidents. And that is because the Democratic Party does come in,
cleans up the mess as fair policies. The Republicans were always trying to privatize,
voucherize, cut any kind of benefit, any spending power, and then give the money to basically
their donor corporations to use it to buy back stock. And that's it in a nutshell. Thanks a lot for
calling. Well, there's a judge in Madison, Judge Nilsis Stone, Ryan Nilsis Stone came out with a
great decision. He's ordered the state Wisconsin Election Commission to immediately implement his
ruling that absentee ballots with incomplete but non-material address mistakes of witnesses
and the outside of the envelope have to be counted. Because what will happen is you'll go next
store to your neighbor and his wife and you go, can you witness my ballot? They go, yeah.
Then on the outside, he'll put John Jones with his address and she'll put, you know, Mrs.
Barbara Jones and then she'll put Ditto or same or he might leave out a zip code, which you can
easily find. Because if you have the address, you can find the zip code. The Republicans have done
everything they can to make sure as far as they can that as few absentee ballots are counted as
possible because they believe that the majority of Democratic ballots. The sad thing for them is
I remember growing up and I remember until recently, if there was a close election instead but the
absentee ballots haven't been counted, every professional would go, well, the Republicans are going
to win because Republicans use them a lot more than Democrats. That is no longer the case because
of Donald Trump because he's trashed them and salted them and all that is more Democrats to it.
That doesn't have to be the case, Republicans. Why doesn't everybody say vote absentee if you can?
We want everybody to vote. We want fair elections, but Nilsa Stone came out with a decision that's
quite good. And it says, if somebody next to the spouse of signature says same address,
look at the other address. If it doesn't have a zip code, so what? It has the street address, so what?
Coming up, a lot of news and weather and the Republicans now are trying to put poison pill writers
on any extension of funding the U.S. government even by the March deadline. Coming up.
