Peter Burgess COMMENTARY Peter Burgess Transcript 0:00 Now for the questions from our well-informed listeners who really have been paying attention uh these last couple weeks, even more than usual. Uh John uh in Gurnie, Illinois. I got to go to Gurnie, Illinois and meet John because he writes every week and they're always good questions. James, he said, 'Regardless of recent Democrat election wins, the Republicans are gathering huge campaign donations. Does this concern you or will Democrat will a Democratic money spot start to flow now?' A Democrat has not lost an election in this century for a lack of money. They're not going to lose the next one for a lack of money. I'm telling you, and you're going to see that that there was some reservation about the Democrats. Um there's not going to beat those reservations. There's going to be tremendous enthusiasm and a lot of these companies that somehow or another thought this condition was permanent are going to be adjusting their strategies. 1:02 I tell you who's going to make out like a bandit right now. If if I were Democratic lobbyist, my 2026 income is going to quadruple my 2025 income. That's for sure. I mean, believe you me, they they hear the hoof prints now and they're going, 'Oh [ __ ] look what did we do?' And if there's anything any impropriy, you you better lawyer up because the these congressional committees got a pretty good idea what was coming. Um Roger, I that's why Trump is so desperate to try to fix the 2026 election and you know he will clearly try to pressure the Supreme Court uh to fix it further, but I don't think he's going to succeed short term there. Roger in Woodland Hills, California says, 'What asked rather, what could we have done and why didn't we do it during the four years Biden was in office and Democrats controlled Congress to prepare for the possibility of Trump winning a second term, laws, executive orders, 2:00 anything to reinforce whatever guard rails are left?' Roger, sadly, the answer is almost nothing. Trump doesn't pay attention to laws. Trump doesn't pay attention to executive orders. Trump likes to knock down guard rails. The idea that they Democrats could have passed certain protective measures and Trump would have heeded them, I just think is uh is is just naive. And uh I appreciate the question, but I really don't think you could have done anything. So I want to talk to just Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Leo, Justice Barrett, Justice Kavanaaugh, Justice Gorish Gorage. I might be forgetting one. I'm going tell you what's going to happen. A Democrat is going to be elected in 2028. You know that. I know that. There's going to be a Democratic House, going to be a Democratic Senate. The Democratic president is going to 3:00 announce a special transition advisory committee on the re reform of the Supreme Court that we could have our third branch of government has lost the faith and trusted American people and his president would going to do everything alone. He's going to appoint a blue ribbon may maybe judge Ludik and the dean of the you know just the usual [ __ ] suspects. All right. and they're going to recommend that the number of Supreme Court justices go from 9 to 13. That's going to happen, people. That's going to happen to you. They're going to win. They're going to do some blue ribbon panel of of distinguished jurists and they are going to recommend 13 and a Democratic Senate and House. They're going to pass it and the Democratic president is going to sign it because they have to do an intervention so we can have a Supreme Court that the American people trust to get. So just 4:00 keep that in the bag of your mind. And I I I I would bet a lot of money that that's what's going to happen. Mhm. A lot. James Donald in the Bay Area. And we're going to ask this question. Donald, next time tell us where in the Bay Area. He said he was playing on chat uh GPT and it said that the poor sentiment of the economy is demoralizing Republicans. Yeah, of course it is. Uh and then he says, 'How do we help demoralize the GOP base further for the 2026 election?' I just think it's Well, Mark Russell used to say doing what is just rip and read. You don't have to prepare much stuff. I I think they're pretty demoralized. Yeah. Yeah. No, you know, I do too. Uh so um DKM also from California says if Gavin Newsome is his Democratic nominee for the sake of getting a win, what type of demographic candidates per VP should he select or avoid? I would bet in the 5:00 next couple polls Gavin Newsome is going to become the front runner. Well, that's interesting. It's a long time away. Just think of some of the other front runners, you know, like uh Jeb Bush uh and Bernie Sanders at one point and Mario Cuomo and Rudy Giuliani. So, it's a long way to go. Uh but, you know, if Nuome should be the person they pick, he's got to pick someone of some balance. He'll be painted as a left-wing uh liberal. He's certainly walking away from some of that. uh you know someone like an Andy Basher and Alyssa Slotkin would be great but um let's not quite nominate him yet. Uh DKM you know he's uh I mean he's been very opportunistic in a way that Democrats like he's a little bit of communicator. Uh I I take Kim and I you know a little bit persuaded I had dinner last night DD Meyers who's very close to him then pointed to any number of things. I 6:02 I I if he's a front he's certainly one of the front runners and he's a little more substantial than maybe uh I originally thought and I've been kind of watching him. Yeah, I agree. You know I don't think he's going to flame out or anything like that now. he's, you know, and I think he's smart enough to know this, uh, he's going to be running on a on a very fast track and one ability is going to be a huge and when I say huge, I mean it's going to unless there's some kind of massive recession that there could be that that but if it's anything toward a a mediocre economy, I just like Trump, don't kid yourself. This the the big it this race was not the big winner was Madamino. The big winner was Spanber Cheryl or the big winner was just it was it was one staggering fact in this election and it was the giant lose. It was Trump. That's what this was all about. 7:01 And when people come it's going to be all about wability. And I you know and people are going to say and I'll be hey you represent a state that you can't lose. Why don't we go with a guy like from Kentucky that we lose by 20 and he wins by five and that will be a convincing argument that I never believed in process arguments, you know, anything like that. Process is going to play a big role in the 2028 28 nominating process. Well, one advantage that Newsome has, and I think two and a half years out, it's always perilous. Just look at history, uh, is that, uh, he'll be free to do whatever. He won't be governor anymore starting in 2027. I think that's that is actually liberating as a candidate. It gives him a lot of uh you know he can travel around. So, but you know again it's a long way off. Uh and we'll just have to see u what happens. Patrick in Eugene, Oregon says when the mainstream media reports on poverty, SNAP benefits, rent subsidies, and the like, they always show African-Americans 8:01 or Latino people. Politically, would it be more effective for the liberals to show poor whites also who are disadvantaged and destitute and actually are the majority of the poor? All right. I I want to take a little issue with that. The stories that I've read, I understand and that may be true of TV and I'm not I never mind attacking the New York Times, but they've had some stories. I think the other other entities too I've seen maybe I don't want to single people out. I can't have that good of recall. And in two areas that were hurt the most and uh a lot of red state voters, a lot of white voters are really really hurt by this. And Trump's so stupid. He he points out that only Democrats get blue. That is demonstrabably not true. And the reason I know it's not true is because I read the mainstream media. Then I don't always defend them. I think some the coverage can be mindless. But on this issue, uh, our good friend here 9:01 from Eugene, uh, got a point, you know, you got, you got to look a little bit deeper and they actually have covered this. Yeah. No, I agree. Taylor in Chico, California asked, 'What do you think of Kevin Roberts decision?' Kevin Roberts is the head of the uh Heritage Foundation not to distance Heritage from Tucker Carlson following his recent uh softball interview with Nick Fuentes, who was a a vicious anti-semite. He's actually pro-Nazi in many ways. Said Hitler doesn't really bother him. Here's the problem, uh, Taylor, for Kevin Roberts and and the, uh, those Republicans, those hatemongers, those neo-Nazis, they're part of the coalition. They really are. And, uh, you know, Yeah. Yeah. I, it's, it's outrageous. But I am particularly, I guess, in sense for the fact that Trump and his people have made such a big deal of anti-semitism on college campuses, 10:01 which clearly has been a problem. And then they go and they have the head of the most important foundation supporting them say, 'Ah, well, I'm not going to get upset about Tucker Carlson interviewing a a man who says Hitler really wasn't all that bad.' That's just where they are. But what Donald Trump what what he who do he have for Fidel? He had dinner with him, I think, Fuentes, didn't he? And Ye. Yeah. I mean, you know, I I have to say this. We all must say and he said on campus is a big problem. Our friend Jill Averson who taught at Harvard who is Jewish and did serious outreach to Jewish students and she said none of them felt threatened. Now that I know she said I'm not saying there's no anti-semitism on campus but I I never would suggest that. She said I'm sorry James I missed it. She said she said that she, you 11:00 know, talked to Jewish students and all. This was back in the kind of middle of the whole thing. And I remember her saying they didn't feel threatened. Yeah. Yeah. Right. And but but it's and now they're all split and crazed and it's only going to get worse. It's only going to get what what about this chat they had with in this uh sana? What's this guy in Long Island? And in these chats and uh and they said, 'Oh, it's just a bunch of kids. I'm It was like people in their 40s. It was all these right-wingers.' And it was the most racist anti-semitic [ __ ] you can imagine. Yeah. You know, but we're going to have, you know, Bill Aman, you know what? Maybe the big guy. He's not giving any more money to Columbia. Whatever he does, Harvard Springs, I mean, meanwhile, all this shit's going on. All right, James, our final 12:02 question, and it is a good one. Jim in Eastern Maryland says, 'James, do not burn your LSU diplomas. Keep them as a reminder of what LSU used to be and let those documents continue to fuel your desire to turn the institution around.' And now that Brian Kelly has been fired as the OSU football coach, he adds as a PS, can he now drop his fake southern accent? Okay, this good uh with our previous we first of all if there was a higher education administration hall of fame, I don't have any doubt that Mark Emir and Bill Tate would be in it. I mean, they were Mark Emir went the left to be the president of the NCAA. Uh and Bill was run out by Jeff Landry in think is now the president of Rutgers University which is a very very good university with a lot of different 13:01 professors who is ranked number 41 by in the whole country by the US news. I'm not much of a credentialist but I guess you got to use some reference point and we've now hired the president of Mcnes State University in Lake Charles. All right. It is ranked 80th among southern regional universities and I I I there's no such tor. I've looked at it to see if you is there such a tort as devaluation of the worth of a degree. I have two degrees from LSU. My oldest daughter has a graduate degree. My youngest daughter has an undergraduate degree. I'm in the LSU Hall of Distinction. I'm in the Manship 13:38 School Hall of Fame. Uh my my dad and all of his siblings went uh five myself and five of my siblings went to LSU. I think I have 20 something nieces nephews and it is a utter disgrace what they have done to that university. It is just a disgrace. It's a race toward mediocrity. I think that Jeff Landry 14:01 would be happy if they made us a JO college. But you're right. Something is gonna change here because and I asked myself the same question. I as it to you, Albert. If John Bell was governor and he said, 'I'm gonna let Barack Obama hired a basketball coach.' I would be equally outraged. Of course, he wouldn't do that. We never do that. So, I don't have to worry about that problem. But your question is spot on. It it is it to me it's it's another disgrace that they have intentionally trying to dismantle this the university. And by the way, it succeeded. Well, listen, we love your questions. Please keep them in. Keep them coming. If we didn't get to it this week, send it again. We'll try to get to it next week. Tell us where you're from. And we really, really, really appreciate uh every question we get. [Music]
