Mike Papantonio: Vice President Harris recently received endorsements from some of the worst human beings on the earth, the worst war criminals on the earth and she seems really proud of that. It’s a list includes Dick Cheney and Alberto Gonzales. The campaign is thrilled about the endorsement of these war whores that seem to be the average Democrat nowadays when you look at what the party has become. Used to be the Republicans, I still think they are. Don’t get me wrong. Republicans on this issue they’re the same war pimps that we see with the Democrats. But the Democrats are trying to hide behind, no, we’re different. We’re different. I go back to John Kerry when John Kerry talked about what’s happening with the military industrial complex creating a crisis of historical proportions because he was concerned that the Democrats were embracing the war machine. John Kerry, now he said that while he was running.
Farron Cousins: 20 years ago.
Mike Papantonio: 20 years ago. And it’s just gotten worse. And now, like I said, now we have Liz Cheney. Dick Cheney is our hero for the Democratic Party? The Democratic Party is endorsed by 132 war whores, neocon war whores, and the Democrats, oh, this is wonderful. Well, you know why? because the money’s good.
Farron Cousins: Right.
Mike Papantonio: The money’s good. All of these people are part of the weapons industry. They are the modern Doctor Strange Love. That’s what’s going on here. And the Democrats seem to embrace them. I used to look at this and on front of this missile would be a Republican sign. It would not be that. It would be an elephant. Wouldn’t be a donkey.
Farron Cousins: Yeah. And I do think you’re absolutely right about that. I think with the shift of these war criminals, I mean, Dick Cheney, Alberto Gonzales, he’s the guy that wrote the torture memos.
Mike Papantonio: Right.
Farron Cousins: He should be in the Hague, not out here endorsing candidates for office. And these are people that when we started Ring of Fire here, we were trashing these people every week for the damage they were causing across the planet.
Mike Papantonio: Republicans. This is what we did for years. We talked about Alberto Gonzales needs to be perp walked. Dick Cheney killed hundreds of thousands of people based on the lie of weapons of mass destruction. And then his daughter, Liz, who is now the favorite on cabal cable television, the talking head, she’s loved by the Democrats because she’s so critical of Trump. She is nothing more than a war pimp, just like daddy and just like the 132 neocons who supported, who absolutely now say, yeah, Harris is our woman. Why?
Farron Cousins: We disagree with her on some things. But we still think she’s better. Look, everybody that we’re talking about here that has come out and endorsed her right now, these are the very same people that for many, many years through the Trump administration, we had, you remember the way the old office was, we had these file cabinets filled to the brim.
Mike Papantonio: Yes.
Farron Cousins: Some of them with paper coming out the top. Filled with attacks on these people, lists of the horrible things they had done. We spent years, I spent years of my life researching how horrible these people are. And if they want me to get excited about Dick Cheney or Liz Cheney, they are kidding themselves. I’ve been going after Liz Cheney ever since Democrats started embracing her in 2020 because she hates Trump too and I said, no, she is not our friend. She does not believe anything we believe in. Stop falling for this charade.
Mike Papantonio: See, that’s the difference. The difference, you know why when I get a call, I get an email, we love Farron Cousins. You know why? Because you will step across that aisle and you will call BS. And it’s BS when you have numb nuts within the Democratic organization saying, yeah, these are our pals. This is who we are. We are not the party of war. Just like John Kerry said, we’re not the party of war. It started with Bill Clinton. Right. Bill Clinton wanted to take the party to the center. He wanted to get all the money from the weapons industry and it’s gotten worse. And then Hillary, hell, she was ready to pull the plug on Russia. She would’ve started a cold war with Russia had she been elected. Ultimately she did. But the point is,
Farron Cousins: She was back at it this week. I don’t know if you saw that. I’m gonna send you that story.
Mike Papantonio: Oh, absolutely. She can’t help herself because the weapons industry have done so much with her, for her globalism stand and we need to get tougher. We need to attack Iran. We need to attack China.
Farron Cousins: She called for the prosecution this week, I think it was yesterday, of anyone that uses Russian talking points as she calls them, and they should be thrown in jail.
Mike Papantonio: Wow.
Farron Cousins: Uh, so, so much for freedom of speech there.
Mike Papantonio: So she’s nothing more, just like unfortunately, the very heart of the Democratic party have become shills for war. They’ve become shills for the weapons industry. And that’s not to say the Republicans are any less, but we used to do stories, Farron, if you think about it, where we were only saying this because we could tie up the stories to Republicans. Now, Jesus Christ. I mean, it’s we are the party of war. You had 30 members of the Democratic Party, for example, asking Biden, please negotiate on the Ukraine issue. You remember that? Bernie Sanders, some of the people that’s saying, look, let’s go negotiate. You know who shattered him down? People like Schumer and Pelosi. People that were running the party, running it under the new guise of we are a war machine. We are a war nation. We are war Democrats. And now all those people are wrapping themselves around Harris. There’s no way to ignore it.
Farron Cousins: 20 years ago, millions of people took to the streets to protest the Iraq war. Those are the same people that we talked to, the people that were our audience at the time, and I think they still are, but I don’t know that they feel the same anymore. I think they have changed while we are actually sitting here being the same. We have not done anything different. But they forgot who they were 20 years ago when they were marching in the streets with Code Pink and the other groups, their names escape me unfortunately, with Cindy Sheehan. Right.
Mike Papantonio: Yeah. Cindy Sheehan.
Farron Cousins: Those people were in the streets saying these folks need to go to jail and now the Democrat party.
Mike Papantonio: And now they are these folks. Now this fellow right here.
Farron Cousins: I’m not saying Cindy Sheehan is, but, the party.
Mike Papantonio: Yeah, the party is. But this is now a donkey. It used to be an elephant.
Farron Cousins: Yep.
Mike Papantonio: Thanks for joining me. Okay.
Farron Cousins: Thank you.
