KEN: So a moment ago we were talking about Liz Cheney, and like so many Republicans, she has mastered the ability to put Liz Cheney first and that\u2019s not what We the People want. And I mentioned last hour, the biggest threat — it has been and it continues to be — are Republicans that pretend to support us and then stab us in the back, figuratively speaking.<\/p>\n
The biggest mistake the Republican Party is making — and I know some of you pay close attention to Frank Luntz\u2019s work. “Luntz\u2019s work.” It\u2019s funny \u2019cause that\u2019s a mistake. But the biggest mistake so many of these people make is they get wrapped up in focus groups and opinion polls, and they\u2019re always checking the wind — and the more you do that as a Republican, the less support you\u2019ll get from We the People.<\/p>\n
See, it\u2019s about We the People. The mistake that the Liz Cheneys and the Chris Christies and Mitt Romney… I don\u2019t even like saying his name. The mistake they make is they believe that they can just beat on Trump, and pathologically lie about Trump, and partake in the farce of an impeachment (the second impeachment, that was BS) and We the People aren\u2019t gonna notice, but here\u2019s the message that — and I believe this is what pollsters are missing.<\/p>\n

And I bring up Frank Luntz \u2019cause I know he\u2019s friends with McCartney — McCarthy, excuse me, Kevin McCarthy — and I know there\u2019s the big “battle” now. The kabuki theater of “Republican leaders Cheney and McCarthy reaching boiling point,” according to NBC. I don\u2019t believe a word of it. I do not believe a word of it. I think that… I think deep state, big party politics — Big Media, big corporate, social media — you\u2019re all on the same page.<\/p>\n
And here\u2019s that page. I don\u2019t care what I and the rest of what We the People have to say, and you\u2019re dumb enough to believe that you could keep trying to railroad people and attack people — for example, Trump — and that doesn\u2019t affect us. That was the biggest disconnect that happened with Republicans. They thought because President Trump rattled their cages and responded to the people so efficiently, that they can just slap \u2019em down.<\/p>\n
But they\u2019re not realizing, the more you go after Trump the more you\u2019re dumping on the American people — and it\u2019s amazing. And I think one of the reasons this happens is because so many of these people are so loaded. I don\u2019t mean drunk. That\u2019s a conversation for another day. I mean tons of dough. I think people like Mitt Romney — and I\u2019ll throw Pat Toomey in there, Senator Pat Toomey from my state, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
I think these people believe that. So who cares what the people think? There\u2019s only 300-and-some million of \u2019em, and more than 75 million voted for Trump. “Like I care. I\u2019m rich,” and that\u2019s gonna catch up with you, and if it hasn\u2019t caught up with you this week, it\u2019s catching up with you politically. Now, as far as Liz Cheney goes, remember when she was a Trump supporter?<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll tell you when she was a Trump supporter: When it was in vogue to be a Trump supporter, when a whole bunch of Republicans were like, “Oh, my God, I made fun of Trump!” He captured the imagination of the American people. He\u2019s making promises. This is as we approach the election; he\u2019s resonating with millions of Americans from all different spectrums.<\/p>\n
“Well, I better start kissing Trump\u2019s butt, \u2019cause I\u2019m gonna have to ride his coattails in,” and, wow, have you seen the down ballots from 2020? Did you see the people that rode into power pretending to be a Trumpster or, as someone put it — I just read an article; forgive me, I forget the author — being a TINO, a Trumpster In Name Only?<\/p>\n
