Mike Papantonio: I think I showed you this right before we started here, where you’ve got these Democratic leaders, donors, everybody saying, who was it? Lindy Li says, we have become, we have a stench of being a loser. And I don’t know if we can ever reverse that. I thought it was an interesting statement. She said, we have such a loser stench that I don’t think we’ll recover by four or eight years. Four to eight years. Now, this is a woman who’s given gazillions of dollars to Democrats, okay. And she’s out there on all the talk shows, mad as hell, that Harris blew $1.5 billion. Okay. Blew $1.5 billion that I’m not gonna give her any more money. And she’s still raising money to pay off the $20 million debt apparently. So, these people are so angry that if you watch, they’re all over the talk shows. And this woman, her talking point, we have the stench of hopeless losers right now. What’s your take?
Farron Cousins: I think she’s right. I think they do have the stench of losers on ’em right now. And the problem is not that you have the stench, okay. You can wash the stench off and go about your day. Problem is they’re not washing it off. They have learned nothing. You know, there was an instance, I think it was about two weeks ago, report came out saying that Black Friday holiday shopping was breaking records. People booking flights was breaking records. You know what the Democratic response was on social media?
Mike Papantonio: I saw that. It’s unbelievable.
Farron Cousins: From the Democrats on the House. I think it was oversight committee and they tweeted out that report and said, oh, we thought y’all couldn’t afford eggs. They’re mocking people for, oh, you’re concerned about the economy, but you’re still traveling for the holidays.
Mike Papantonio: You know, when I saw that story, I do what you do, you do this more completely than I do. But when I saw that story, I said, this can’t be true. You can’t have Democratic leadership making fun of people who can’t buy eggs by saying, hey, travel’s up, vacation’s up. You must be having a wonderful time. I really had to look in another source to say, this has got to be a planted story. This can’t be true. But you found the same story I did.
Farron Cousins: Yeah. It was real. They did that. They ended up deleting the tweet after, of course, huge backlash. But that just shows you how out of touch they are. So that’s stench of being losers does extend to, they don’t get why they lost. You had, look, Harris had good policies. She had policies that would’ve sparked and given these loans, debt-free loans to small businesses.
Mike Papantonio: Did you hear about ’em?
Farron Cousins: I had to go find them.
Mike Papantonio: Did you? I never heard about it because they were afraid to put her in front of a camera.
Farron Cousins: Right. And so there were good policies there, but she didn’t really run on them. Instead it was, hey, this guy over here is so dangerous, but I’m not dangerous. I’m fun. I just went to a record store. Look at the records I bought. And those, by the way, those are real things that happened.
Mike Papantonio: I worked at McDonald’s and no you didn’t. No, you didn’t.
Farron Cousins: Well, there’s no evidence that she didn’t work there. It was 1983.
Mike Papantonio: I know. But you get the point.
Farron Cousins: Well, yeah. But that becomes a stupid thing instead of.
Mike Papantonio: She becomes, she’s always trying to become whoever she was. If she was talking to Latinos, we heard the Latino accent. She’s talking to African Americans we heard that pushed in there. She’s a nutcase. And the American public saw she was a nutcase.
Farron Cousins: And what she should have been out there doing this entire campaign, the only thing she should have talked about was economic issues. That is it.
Mike Papantonio: Is she over, I mean, are we done with her?
Farron Cousins: I think she has to be.
Mike Papantonio: Other than California. She’ll prosper in California, obviously, but I mean, the rest of the country. Aren’t we done with her?
Farron Cousins: I’m always of the opinion that once you get your butt kicked in a presidential election, go away. I don’t want to see you again. And maybe that’s just me. But even with, I’m kind of that way with Bernie Sanders. I think you’ve given it a good shot, but I don’t want to see you run again. I love your policies. I would’ve loved it if you’d become president, but you’ve tried, you’ve failed. It’s not gonna work for you. It’s the same thing with Hillary. It’s the same thing with Kamala. It was the same thing with John Kerry. Hey, you gave it your best shot, kind of, go the hell away.
Mike Papantonio: But you just can’t connect. And you could dress her up any way you wanna dress her up, just like they tried with Hillary. Let’s dress her up in this weird little, I don’t even know how to describe the outfit. Fix her hair. Have her talk a different way. People see it. They say, no, she’s an awful character.
Farron Cousins: She was just mean and mad and entitled.
Mike Papantonio: And that’s what I, and what everybody saw.
Farron Cousins: And Harris was not mean or mad. I think they kind of saw her as a little bit, maybe she’s a little too silly. Maybe she’s not serious about this.
Mike Papantonio: Well, I think it was, she’s not bright. I really think the word salad thing got it. But that’s old news. The only question I have is, is she done with? I think she is. She could succeed in California. She could succeed in New York. Nowhere else in the country. She’s not even a legitimate player anymore.
Farron Cousins: She can go on the speaking circuit and make way more money there doing whatever.
Mike Papantonio: You know, she could probably, the way she communicates, she’d be really good on The View. I could see her as the new person on The View. That would work.
