Jay Weber Show transcript 5-13-25
I ended the show yesterday with a cut from Bill Maher saying that today’s democrat party needed to reject all of the idiocy that the party stands for now: it is literally the ‘kook fringe’ party on nearly every issue.
Its’ also the ‘America-hating’ party on nearly every issue. And they can’t win elections if the kook fringe leaders like AOC and Bernie take over permanent control of this party.
Listen to a democrat congressman from Florida, Jared Moskowitz.
He just happens to be one of the least popular figures in his own party now because he’s a moderate-and Jewish- in a party that has been taken over by radicals, socialists, and jew-haters.
He appeared in a Fox and was asked about the intra-party hatred that is being directed toward him.
House Democrat Straight Up Tells Fox News ‘Progressives Can’t Win’ Key Races
Moskowitz is correct.
And as ‘wrong’ as Nancy Pelosi was on a lot of things- and a lot of strategy- over the years- one thing she was right about-
And it helped her and barrack build their majority in Obama’s era-
Is Pelosi was smart enough to know that the best strategy was to run a candidate who was ‘moderate enough to win’ in all of these questionable swing districts.
If you want to flip majorities-that’s going to be done in the swing districts-and the voters in those districts are going to reject radical candidates. They are going to reject candidates who sound like socialists...or who defend the indefensible.... like boys ruining girls’ sports...or letting illegals take over their communities...etc.
And so-if Bill Maher and Elissa Slotkin and these other more traditional democrats are right-and their party is ever going to be controlled again-at some point-by common sense democrats-
Well then.... large numbers of democrats across the country are going to have to stand up. Find some guts. And tell the truth in face of the crybullies and wake America-haters.
That-has to happen here-before democrats ever win another election cycle.
Listen to a former democrat strategist who popped up on Hannity’s show the other night.
His name is Dan Turr-ren-teen...and he made this-very good point:
DAN TURRENTINE, 2WAY CO-HOST, FORMER DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST: I sure hope not. I mean, look, we are a party right now that is completely leaderless. I mean, in normal times, it would be Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.
But both of them are terrified of our base. I mean, they are paralyzed with fear. Chuck Schumer is down 20 points here in New York to AOC if there was a primary today.
And on top of that, we don't have an agenda at all. All we really have that holds us together is the dislike of Donald Trump. And we saw how that went in November.
And so for us to ultimately move forward, we have to come up with a real agenda that helps the real lives of real people, even on tariffs. We're not against reshoring jobs here. We're not against opening new markets.
We may quiver with how Trump is going about it. But if he starts putting more points on the board, he's going to get credit. And the American people aren't really going to care about the process the last few months.
He’s correct: both Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer are both afraid of their own activist base now, and it’s keeping them from doing and saying the right things...to get their party back on track.
To be trite: the inmates are running the asylum on their side of the aisle...and if it’s up to ‘Doctor Jefferies and Doctor Schumer’ to restore order. They’re not doing it.
Instead...they are letting the same failures and workerism’s that destroyed the party under Biden...continue to keep harming them.
In fact: I did segment yesterday saying that Joe Biden -really should-go away now for the good of the party.His continued presence is only harming them...and any effort to get the party on a new path.
The critics are correct-who say: every time Joe and Jill go out and do an interview- they are reminding the American people of
A) how much Biden sucked as a president.
B) how dishonest democrats of his era are-
& C) how incompetent and idiotic today’s democrats are.
I said yesterday: I would love nothing more than for Joe Biden to continue to be ‘the example’ of what a ‘democrat is’...
But Joe Biden really does need to just ‘go away’ now. For the good of the country-as well as his party.
So, I love this: of the NY Post says that the NY and DC democrats are trying to ‘spin their way’ out of lying about joe Biden’s dementia- by flipping it around and insisting that ‘they know something about presidential dementia...and Donald trump has all the signs of it.
Honestly.
This is their latest attempt to spin their way out of their obvious and collective effort to ignore and pretend not to see Biden’s dementia.
Trump has always spoken using simple words and concepts. Some of you will remember an analysis that was done when he was first running for president -by linguists who said- he talks like an average fourth grader.
Remember that? For some reason, trump in public uses simple word choice and simple concepts. They claimed.
And so- that was acknowledged around 9 years ago, when he was first running. You can’t use it as ‘evidence of dementia’ now. At least not with any credibility.
But bottom line: the American people can tell Trump is still energetic and fully cognitively capable. We detect no signs of dementia there...as we did so clearly with Biden.
These leftists insisted on trying to gaslight us on President Biden and are now trying to gaslight us on president Trump.
I keep telling you lies, dishonesty, and gaslighting are all this democrat party has left. They have no good ideas. Everything they oversee...is a disaster. They’re on the wrong side of every issue-and refuse to correct course-
So, what do the democrats possibly have to offer the country, at this point?
Nothing.
But- as Miranda Devine and Mark Halperin both pointed out this week-Joe and jill Biden-cannot-just go away.
Because they’ve been the ones doing the gifting and keeping the rest of their family living privileged lives.
