hey pad Tom how are you a great thank you for filling in for me for the first
half hour
choice fun II I so appreciate it so what
it what is at the top of your head right now what's what's got you
cranked well I've out a I did a I did a story this week
54 the radio segment offering a far I just thought was so
interesting in it is week you know we always time we always talk about it at
this division
love at for Republican Party
I V you and I have been talking about this for two years
but now it's been turned up full-tilt
and watch what we're seeing now is is you have call Rove is created this
Frankenstein monster
it's now unleashed it's now moving about the country
%uh in in by way of people like Matt Bevan
in in kentucky who's run against Mitch McConnell I
who it were saying or saying race after race
%uh really I i'm no I don't state this
this is a solid statement wingnuts
image dinner chooses like and crazy his finally been freed the Freak Show
warmup is now at full-tilt clown cars are pulling up everywhere
in Seoul right now with Portugal funny to watch to me
is it you've got guys like up to tony Perkins
you know with the christian right who is making this statement that now is our
time we are the great we have the greatest potential
to have the greatest impact right now your religious liberties are being
stolen from you
americans are descending into a quagmire of self-destructive socialism run by the
gay entities and every other
awful thing according to tony Perkins and that your religious liberties been
take away now
what this is really about is you have the Koch brothers
still at war okay just changed what they've done is they've slightly changed
the narrative
before it before it was just the TE members just the Tea Party
now it is the Christian Tea Party the Christian tea party right
that is putting up these candidates and i couldnt I honestly I could not make
up some other stories about how how how crazy are they
are representative frank wolf I you've got to
got name Richard black contesting the Republican primary to replace
party the got aim up Frank Walsh
in Virginia now black is the guy says I don't know how you could validly get a
conviction up a husband and wife
*** it just is not right what was what he's done is come
he's coming out a supporting the idea that it's OK for american ***
yeah it's it's just fine and you've got mail the store is gone Trevor that its
its
its incredible material you've got Chris mcdaniel running instead cochran he was
all were already a crazy right
freak in every regard he says
his one of his platforms are you know I'm gonna change what hollywood does if
I'm elected
because right now there's a lack of Muslim not my own you know they are
making is up but I'm not
there's a lack of Muslims villains in Hollywood films
right now when we need to do something about it but the stories
the edge have crazy has been fully open Tom
in its just outta control it in in and truthfully
mcconnell can't do anything about it growth can't do anything about it
of bosnia doing this coming now these right-wing billionaires Prince for the
Koch brothers who has the stuff and
I'm wonderin you know what's the end game it seems to mean PAP
that I I me look back in history Erbe go back to russel Kirk in 1951 he wrote the
book the conservative mind that the that was the foundation for barry goldwater
in
and for a bill buckley and all those guys and and he said in 51
if the middle class gets too large into affluent
america is going to become destabilized the net will be a destructive thing for
american society
and in the sixties as the middle class reached the peak of affluence in the
history of the world
and you saw women too many rights young people saying hello I will go to war
after American saying hey you know it's its are turning over the civil rights
act so I
it bit by the by 71 you had the cities burning and 69 you at Stonewall gazers
say what about us
and everybody was smoking pot taking acid and and and
that and the people on the right not thomas jefferson what I love this cuz he
thought that
change was a good thing but conservatives historically
think the change is a bad thing band or at least it should be very very slow and
gradual an incremental
and and so you had all these guys in the right say holy cow Russell Kirk was
right we've got to
Gaza Strip a lot of his wealth away from the middle class
because these people have too much time on their hands in too much money and
they have succeeded
i mean you know they they've thrown a third of what used to be the middle
class and the working poor
they've thrown the students a trillion dollars into debt when it used to be. go
to college for free
and I or for damn close to it you can work a part-time job through the summer
and pay for your tuition
and it seems to me like the endgame others
is to take us back to Dickens England you know to it as stable
society where you got controllable stable exactly my point
yeah AAA's a stay at does that that's the natural state capitalism actually is
dickens
England you know middle class is not a normal thing no classes have to be
created by government policy
that that represses or horse or reduces the power of the super wealthy
and enhances the power working people relative to their employers
and if you don't do those things a middle working-class middle-class will
not emerge
the only kinda middle-class whatever emerges as what you had during dickens
time
which is a middle-class a professionals doctors lawyers and mercantilist shop
owners that's it
and more you know scrooge Marley was mem scrooge was a mark middle-class got your
own he was a small business owner ed
to employees himself in bed Bob Cratchit and Bob Cratchit was the working poor in
and I'm wondering are the Koch brothers who are the sole libertarian thing in
this this like
let's fuel the crazy on the right are they
really working toward that vision the Russell Kirk talked about 1951
up let's literally destroy the American middle class so we can have a plutocracy
basically
and and Ben have a very healthy and stable country from the point of view
the very rich
yeah I i get there very well may affect Richard perlman I think prominent you
wrote the book on the nixon years if you re yeah I think you interviewed in one
time I
I believe I saw your interview with my know I did and I I was very impressed
with his message is the same message you just deliver to if you think about it
what what nixon what nixon was able to do
with a you know with his who with his dirty tricks can have guys
%uh he was able to go out and he was able to scare the hell outta the
American public is saying look what's happening
people are in the streets over the war people in the streets over
verge of there being a drug use drug abuse is at all-time high
burning their broader a very badly versions in show what he did is he had
people likes a Greddy you remember the name of a dinosaur right
okay so you have people likes a Greddy that were able to to take that in
moulded
and actually create the the mantra
to where we've lost control now let me jump
now to 28-14 this is the same thing
the Colts are saying to this Christian right Tea Party
look we have lost control you have gays who are you now have rights that they've
never had
you have a socialist president who is taking us to the
edge to the abyss and by the way if you look at the color of his skin
yeah the yet but by the way you have to be african-american
and that's scary and show what we're seeing a repeat of that problem and had
to I think
she said the same thing that you just laid out and that is that
this this was repeating itself with this is this is simply a
remake up what happened in nixon land I believe was the name of the Dove the
book
right but it was show well done I was just absolutely so captivated by it
as a matter fact I'm inclined to go back and reread that book because it could
has
a it has such an impact for what we're seeing right here with people like tony
Perkins
tony Perkins doesn't care about any of this stuff tony Perkins is a fraud I
mean you know the true since he's a frames in with ralph reed
of course but what now is happen is you have this alliance between the money
goes the coke said you know we read
yeah I remember we came out with tea party and it worked pretty well for us
now we have two
amp it up it has to be the Christian Right tea party that's what is with us
what has become
right yeah it and and the
imparted that is let's put on a show so that they don't notice what we're doing
with the tax code
you don't notice what we're doing with Nash international trade policy they
don't notice what we're doing with the court's
they don't notice what we're doing with products to kill people and
it's like it's like bread and circus yeah well
you know for somebody to watch it will I'm always
amazed at how you here %uh you know the
rank-and-file talk about the Taliban oh my god you know they won't let women
have any rights they you know they they have to dress
in an awful way they don't have any liberties at all you can't dance
you can't dance this is the Taliban wingnut
question right that's what we're saying it's the reinvention overtime now think
about this
think it how silent they have been for a while now the christian right they've
been out there
but we haven't had a tony Perkins out front
saying you know now is our time now is our time to reject conservative
beltway republicans because their socialist to
because they're on godly to because they don't do enough about stopping abortion
because
they voted yet that you know they're all behind gay rights issue
now is the time is the message and now is the time is coming from
the very people who invented these wingnuts to begin with
and we're just saying it's just a it's just a new version you know the Madison
project
Madison project is is out there it sits in awful
you know it's just like a the Senate conservatives fund which are familiar
with I'm sure
those two organizations are putting huge
money behind these races where you hang out with you have
I frankly they have a very good chance to
unseat of Mitch McConnell with this guide Matt bevin
yeah it's the kind a right-wing populism that we saw in the twenties and thirties
in and Spain Germany and Italy
frankly on I i realize how people recoil
anything that you know soon as you mention Germany in the thirties but
its its right-wing populism yeah I don't I don't understand that recall to end
because there's so much truth to it
you know what it is it is that we had that mainstream media say all you can't
talk about that how dare you use it but it's the truth
we sing some ugly things happen yeah I am mostly invented the word fashions
merger state business interests yes and my Capitani always will be back with
more with my Capitani a hearing to Martin program
45 minutes past the hour 50 minutes before that lebed
you
