0:02
a recent social media trend which consisted
0:04
of flying on a plane with no
0:06
music, no movies, no entertainment. But a
0:08

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,

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.
7:52
right, Chris Matthews got
7:54
a run to say how Good
7:56

7:58

8:00
