Speaker 1 Sunday morning. What is today is Jerry Kremer and he’s a good friends for so many, many many years. And Jerry had a great party last weekend in the Hamptons for a Democratic Party and I was there. Jerry was the chair of the Assembly Energy Committee at one time and he was the ways that means chair and one

common sense Democrat. Jerry. We had a big discussion at your party last Sunday how common sense Democrats have to come together and have more common sense. Now I’ll leave it up to you.

Speaker 2 You tell us, well, ok, this is the way of look at it, and thank you for giving me some mayretime. You know, first of all, we’re going to start out with there is no such thing as a democratic socialist. Okay, you’re either a Democrat or you’re a socialist, because it’s either it’s one or the other, but not the same.

Number Two is this DSA group, if you will, is trying to hijack the Democratic Party. They sense a little bit of weakness on the part of the party and they’re trying to jump in and basically say we’re a small minority, but we can have great influence over you.

Another thing I’ve noticed is that I’ve never met any Democrat in my life who’s the sane one. And there’s a lot of them who is for defunding the police, for many care for all. I mean, this is just like crazy. I also think some of these young people who have been, if you will, attracted to this DSA platform,

really they know nothing about socialism. They really haven’t had enough government lessons to understand, you know, what the evils of the Socialist Party are. So you know, as far as I’m concerned, I give this group two years and once some of them are in a position to govern or give help advice, they’re going to self destruct.

Speaker 1 Well, especially a lot of it I have. We both have a lot of friends that are gay, and in the gays are promoting the Socialist Party. And did anybody forget to tell them that that in so many areas where the the Socialists are from, they’ve they’ve been throwing gays off the roofs of those cities. And the joke

that people say this is like a chicken farm, that the chickens are pro Kentucky fried chicken.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and you know, it is amazing that right now, because there’s just so much going on in the political world even the same headed people, whether a Democrat or Republican, sometimes you know, get swayed by different factions within the party.

And the answer really is is that maybe I’ve told a couple of my friends, I’m going to take two by four and hit them on the side of the head if they start to tell me that the DSA has got some logic. So the answer really is is that, yes, as sound people who understand what they’re doing, we have

to fight these kind of groups because you know, for them today it’s a piece of it, and tomorrow they have the whole thing, and you know, the country can’t afford this direction.

Speaker 1 I agree with you one hundred and ten percent. Uh, what is your movement coming about to put all the common sense Democrats together?

Speaker 2 Yes, well, you know, I’ve been really following what’s been going on in a lot of parts of the country this past week, and some of the Democrats are now starting to really get strong in their opposition to these socialist candidates, and they’re getting the money and they’re spending it, and they’re telling the world that this is not your

cup of tea. These are the wrong people at the wrong time when we really need sound headedness. So yes, I start to hear it. We’re sure as he could use a lot more. But the name of the game is for people like you to ask people, you know, to air their views about these people as to what

kind of threat. And I said it before, they’re trying to hijack the Democratic Party.

Speaker 1 I agree with you, and it’s just we need James Carver, a friend of mine for thirty years, stopped talking to mea two years ago when I started telling him that, and all of a sudden, James Carmerville is on our side, mean yours.

Speaker 2 Well, what took him to get to that point?

Speaker 1 Well, I guess you had to listen to realize what was going on. And so many other Democrats, you know, even Josh Shapiro, I mean, but he’s Jewish and I don’t know where he thinks he stands.

Speaker 2 Yeah, well, you know this is the problem. Some of these people, the old expressions are out ahead of their skis, and you know, they start to really think that you can’t get re elected without the support of these groups.

And the answer is, you don’t have to just talk common sense to the public, and you don’t need these fringe groups to try to control your life.

Speaker 1 Understood anything else you want to tell the American people this morning.

Speaker 2 No, the answer is be aware, whether you’re a Democrat or republic and if there’s factions within your party who are trying to drive you away from common sense solutions, be prepared to fight back at them and basically say you don’t know what you’re talking about. You know the democracy is going to win if everybody stays awake.

Speaker 1 Understood. Thank you so much for coming on this Sunday morning, and look forward to talking again.

Speaker 2 Wilson Kats love you. Thanks for calling me.
