0:02

a recent social media trend which consisted

of flying on a plane with no

0:06

music, no movies, no entertainment. But a

0:30

right, we welcome to the show our

0:32

pal Chris Matthews the political commentator and

0:34

author. He's followed the Democratic Party very

0:36

closely I think he worked for Tip

0:39

O'Neill at one point if I'm not

0:41

mistaken Chris. Six years. Six years. Yeah,

0:43

oh my god. And you wrote you

0:45

wrote speeches for Jimmy Carter, right? That's

0:47

right. Yeah, here you go. I did all

0:50

that. And what do you well, what's next

0:52

for the Democrats, Chris? Look,

0:54

I don't care right now. I mean,

0:57

I think anybody's talking about it.

0:59

Right now, there's no election. What

1:01

should they do? They should do

1:03

anything. They should listen. But this is

1:05

what democracy looks like. I should

1:07

say that one thousand times. This

1:09

is what democracy looks like. When

1:12

you let all the people vote

1:14

and they vote, you pay attention to

1:16

what they say. They don't like the elite.

1:18

They don't like the liberals. don't like

1:20

talking about people getting surgery in prison

1:23

paid for by the taxpayers they don't

1:25

like a legal entry i knew all this stuff

1:27

instead of all my friends and nobody wants

1:29

to hear it they kept saying oh yeah

1:31

but oh blah blah blah blah nobody wanted

1:33

to hear what the people were saying and

1:35

they and they and I'm not sure they're

1:38

willing to hear it now they'll make excuses

1:40

and say well we tried to make a compromise

1:42

I said yeah in the fourth year you try

1:44

to make a compromise what were you doing for

1:46

four years why did you let you let you

1:48

let X many people because why did you

1:50

do this? Why did you talk about

1:53

sexual gender transfer transitions during

1:55

prison paid for by the

1:57

taxpayer? Why are you talking

1:59

about boys? competing in girls score

2:01

scores. Why do you keep doing

2:03

this? Why do you keep doing

2:05

this? What's your motive? Now clearly

2:07

they did to get the Hispanic

2:10

vote. They said we're going to

2:12

let people in a country illegally

2:14

because the Hispanics will like that.

2:16

Well they don't. They don't. It

2:18

didn't work that way. They couldn't

2:20

pander. They wouldn't pander enough. It's

2:22

unbelievable. I mean why did they

2:24

try to get by another sodium

2:26

penithol and said why did you

2:28

open the border? I'm following the

2:30

law. Well, you're running for president.

2:32

You're making the law. You're going

2:34

to come up with the law.

2:36

Don't say you're following the law

2:38

on surgery during prison. You should

2:40

say what I'm going to do.

2:42

I mean, it was all wreckage.

2:44

And I think the people are

2:46

just sick of it. And I

2:48

mean, I walked around Northeast Philly.

2:50

I walked around, written house square

2:52

in Philly, and everybody in their

2:54

bubble. And the concern about was

2:57

the bubble too, but I mean,

2:59

it's just people don't don't listen

3:01

to anybody. And now they're going

3:03

to have to listen, I think.

3:05

And I didn't like her speech

3:07

yesterday entirely because I think she

3:09

was talking about running for re-election

3:11

or something. I sent in it

3:13

that she was still running. And

3:15

that's not what he's supposed to

3:17

say in a concession speech. She's

3:19

supposed to say, it's over, I

3:21

lost. Chris,

3:23

I heard you say that Democrats just don't

3:25

know how people think. I mean, why is

3:27

there such a disconnect? Well, suppose you're driving

3:30

a truck and your kids are going to

3:32

end up, if they're lucky, getting a job

3:34

in a union and driving a truck. What

3:36

do you think about somebody from Yale, knocking

3:38

on your door? Some guy says up from

3:41

Yale, and I'm here to tell you how

3:43

to vote. through me, you can say what

3:45

you want, but you probably don't warm to

3:47

that guy. And all these rich college kids

3:49

came into Pennsylvania this last several weeks, all

3:51

camping, door to door. I hope they said

3:54

they went to temple. Instead they went to

3:56

Yale. I mean, I don't know if they

3:58

did. I don't know if they even know

4:00

how people react to them, the privileged kids,

4:02

who parents paid 80,000 a year to get

4:05

them to college. Oh yeah. They don't get

4:07

it because they don't want to get it.

4:09

The liberals do not want to be acknowledged

4:11

that they're hated. They don't want to be

4:13

known that way. And there's talk show stuff.

4:15

It's maddening. You know, you can't get anything

4:18

straight on Fox, you can't anything straight on

4:20

other shows. Everybody's selling their own story. And

4:22

the story is not the American story. The

4:24

American story was told on elections, how people

4:26

voted. You know, a guy, Matt Cartwright, lost

4:29

up in Scranton, Susan Wob, lost in Lehigh

4:31

Valley. A Bucks County went for Trump. Got

4:33

the message? Yeah, you paid the message. Yeah,

4:35

I think it's loud and clear. I mean,

4:37

I got a bunch of family members, I

4:39

don't even talk to, because I don't even

4:42

talk to, because I know. What their position

4:44

is, they didn't go to college, their kids

4:46

aren't going to college, and they don't want

4:48

to, they don't want to hear from someone

4:50

like me. And I've known this a long

4:53

time. And maybe I got a conservative bone

4:55

in me, but I definitely understand the attitude.

4:57

And it's the attitude of, screw you. Right.

4:59

And I, the only guy I think is

5:01

Federman seems to understand the wild costumes he

5:03

wears, the hoodie and all that stuff. He

5:06

seems to get it, not that he's got

5:08

the whole truth at the whole truth at

5:10

all truth at all, at all, but, but.

5:12

He seems to understand don't act like some

5:14

some Princeton whatever type and walk around and

5:17

expect people to like you. You got to

5:19

start looking and feeling and dressing a little

5:21

bit more like the people. He doesn't outrageously,

5:23

but he seems to get it. I thought

5:25

shared Brown the too. He went to Yale,

5:27

but he talks like he's got, you know,

5:30

gargle in his mouth. You know, he, he,

5:32

rah, rah, rah, rah, rah. You know, orchard

5:34

people, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

5:36

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

5:38

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

5:41

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

5:43

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

5:45

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

5:47

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

5:49

blah, blah I didn't work with Kim Ryan

5:52

two years ago in Ohio. Those states are

5:54

shut down for Democrats. You know, Chris. Bobby

5:56

Casey lost. Well, that'll tell you something. Yeah,

5:58

Chris, you know, they said on Morning Joe

6:00

the other day, Pennsylvania is a John Wayne

6:02

state, not a Jane Fonda state. Got it?

6:05

Whoa, good line, good line. Hey, Chris, one.

6:07

John Wayne state, not a James Fonda. No,

6:09

it's good. It's good. It's good. It's good.

6:11

Democrats don't want to hear that. They don't

6:13

get it. You know, Chris, we like John

6:16

Wayne. Chris, hang on Chris, Chris, Chris is,

6:18

Chris is delivering a bottle log. Michael's got

6:20

a question for you. Chris, I know he

6:22

loves the old movies, but you know, some,

6:24

I have a lot of friends in the

6:26

liberal bubble that you do too. My friends

6:29

are within New York Times and other places

6:31

in Hollywood and whatnot. They're all telling me,

6:33

you know what the problem is? This country

6:35

is racist and all the people who voted

6:37

for Trump are racist and stupid and that's

6:40

why we lost and they have come to

6:42

double down on the hatred for the Trump

6:44

supporters. Yeah, I don't do it. I don't

6:46

get them through the night. move over because

6:48

I don't think anybody wants you to do

6:50

that. And clearly gender and race all matter.

6:53

They're all part of our thinking, but they're

6:55

us. They're all part of our thinking. There's

6:57

no doubt that because 50 years to let

6:59

women vote, not until the 1920, after giving

7:01

at least technical beliefs to black people, they

7:04

get to vote in 1865, and there was

7:06

a long struggle for that one. I know

7:08

my brother, my brother's daughter told me before

7:10

Kamala got the nomination, that he would never

7:12

vote for a woman. So it's out there,

7:14

it's clearly part of our thinking, and in

7:17

the Puerto Rican community and every community, it's

7:19

there, okay, so you put that in the

7:21

mix and you run a woman, a black

7:23

community. and you you make

7:25

a point of this, well that's

7:28

how you're playing the

7:30

game. Is that how

7:32

you're doing it? It's

7:34

one of the factors

7:36

that you have to

7:38

live with. Yeah, I

7:41

don't know what percentage

7:43

it was Yep. very

7:45

hard even know what any it

7:47

was. say how much

7:49

it was to them.
