The Talk Shows

December 22nd, 2019

Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:

FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Marc Short, Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff; Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich.

MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Short; Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker, NJ, NOPE*.

FACE THE NATION (CBS): Democratic presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar, Minn., NOPE*; Sens. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., and Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.; Mark Galli, editor-in-chief of Christianity Today.

THIS WEEK (ABC): Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Doug Jones, D-Ala.

STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Klobuchar, Blunt; Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.

SUNDAY MORNING FUTURES (FNC): ?

*NOPE = “Never Obtain the Presidency, Ever”

[TTFlyer]

I caught that as well. Even Deep State hack Dana PeRINO on Faux said that Klobuchar was “very impressive” and likely won the “debate.” The Deep State is turning to Klobuchar.

Re: Pelosi motivations:

trying to pressure the turtle into doing her bidding ?

hedging her bets, waiting to gauge sentiment over the holidays ?

attempting to stain DJT and offer him no recourse to clear his name ?

avoid a humiliating defeat and thus emboldening orange man bad ?

Consider the cast of characters arguing their options: Schitt, Pelosi, and the Squad. One maniac trying to build his legacy and take over the house, from a "leader" who's nearly senile but trying to save her legacy and her house, and a small but vocal group of bat-schift crazies threatening a revolt of unknown magnitude.

One could do great damage to oneself trying to determine the true motivations here. I would hope voters convince her of the pathetic weakness of the case and how it goes down in history as the only 100 % partisan impeachment, and one that's repudiated in Nov. It's a bad look for Pelosi & dems.

Scott Adams had a keeper: "Pelosi sitting on this impeachment is only halfway to where it should be."

I hope voters have some say in this and convince her to withdraw submission of the articles.

Great catch! Playing with poll numbers is an old trick the drivebys have been using for years. Many of the pollsters don’t care until a week before the election when they are basically forced to give out the real info or risk being tossed into the world of irrelevancy forever.

[rodguy911]

LOL I forgot about all that....

Here’s a link to the whole Vince Guaraldi Trio - The Charlie Brown Christmas album:

Heard that McCarhy interview. Gained a great deal of respect for him

Sample. Reporter asked how much the Dems improved the New Mexico trade deal. Their immediate crowing on impeachment day

McCarthy answered 1 %. He also tied in that China is number 3 in trade as a partner and holding this deal which involved bigger trade partners gave leverage to the Chinese and delayed getting to even phase 1 .

No more mealy mouthed Paul Ryan.

This guy went on attack.....

[bray]

How corrupt is Romney? He sure seemed to make out pretty good on gummit contracts and favors. How much did he make from the Olympics?

[rodguy911]

How much of the black vote will the GOP need to counter immigration problems or is that possible? Also, how likely is it that illegals that now have drivers licenses will try and vote as well?

As usual, the media didn’t give the full story on the Dingell quote. Here it is from Rush’s show:

Transcript of Trump Comments:

THE PRESIDENT: Debbie Dingell, that’s a real beauty. I gave the A-plus treatment. She calls me up. “It’s the nicest thing that’s ever happened, thank you so much. John would be so thrilled. He’s looking down, he’d be so thrilled. Thank you so much, sir.”

I said, “That’s okay, don’t worry about it. Maybe he’s looking up, I don’t know.”

CROWD: (laughter)

THE PRESIDENT: I don’t know. Maybe? Maybe? But let’s assume he’s looking down.”

BACKGROUND Ignored by the media (From Rush Limbaugh Show)

“Trump goes out of his way to give John Dingell an official farewell funeral. John Dingell’s wife, Debbie, calls him and thanks him profusely. He did something nice, he swept away all partisanship. He gave ’em the full state funeral.

And what’d they do? They used it to rip him. He engaged in an act of respect for her husband, John Dingell, who was not a nice guy. Trump goes out of his way to give Debbie Dingell what she wants, a nice funeral.

Trump loves doing nice things for people, and he doesn’t want never ending appreciation, gratitude, and thanks, but it’s like he’s always said, if you hit him, if you come back and attack him, he’s not gonna sit there and take it. So privately she tells him how wonderful it was and how appreciative she is. Publicly she goes and joins chorus about what a reprobate he is and how he deserves to be impeached and how he’s violating the Constitution and everything.

What people may know and have forgotten, Trump was on Fox News once with Bill O’Reilly. And during that appearance, Trump reiterated that he wouldn’t want to be in a foxhole with McCain. So John Dingell tweeted, “On behalf of so many of my fellow veterans, please take two running jumps and go to hell, Mr. Trump.”

L. Graham is doing rather well so far with Maria.

She is totally hip to the facts.

[kabar]

Listen to Graham now on Maria. She asked him about the Steele dossier and why Mueller didn't look into it. The fact is that Mueller used the Steele dossier as his roadmap for his investigation.

Graham saw the dossier when McCain got a copy. He admitted that during his committee hearings with the IG on his report. Maria should ask him why he didn't inform the Trump administration about it. McCain gave the dossier to the FBI. Graham sponsored a resolution supporting the Mueller investigation and that Mueller should not be fired threatening retaliation against Trump. In 2016 Graham proudly announced he was not voting for Trump.

Graham is a snake who is up to his ears on the Russia hoax and Ukraine. On December 30, 2016 President Poroshenko awarded Senator John McCain with the Order of Freedom and presented the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise to Senator Lindsey Graham for their significant personal contribution to the enhancement of relations between Ukraine and USA.

[Alas Babylon!]

I believe this is why Barack is grooming Moochelle to run.

They simply CANNOT lose the black vote.

[a little elbow grease]

Thank you ........... for the info.

[rodguy911]

Thanks very much bud and Merry Christmas to your family as well bud.

No one fishing down here right now but i had a report that is several weeks old that one guy with several on the boat wanted to see how many redfish he could catch in a day and he counted 486,all from 15-21".Amazing number from an excellent source!!

I wish I had a clue what was going on but I don't. If there are close to 50k sealed indictments as of a few moths ago and there are 5,000 more added every month you have to figure something is going going on the background. But it's hard to say what it is.

[rodguy911]

He was awesome Mexico #1 trading partner and Canada #2,the way all the talk about china is you would have thought they were #1 but the are not.
Also in the President's trade package is the thinking that too many of us that deal with china are too dependent on them.Hes right.Developing other markets in the third world and here is a great idea and long overdue.

[chiller]

It’s not today’s guest list, USS....the appeal is especially strong with impeachment in limbo. Does that not interest you ?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I saw a video of a black street vendor in the French Quarter selling MAGA hats, Trump paraphernalia. Talking up the President.

[a little elbow grease]

That is pretty damn disturbing math!

Many moons ago, my friend, Steve Hoffman, remastered this album on vinyl (45RPM) ...

His pre-release comments are interesting...

Fantasy LP versions, KQED Studio, engineer Hank McGill.
A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS.
Mixed 3 to 2: 11/3/65.

I received all the components I need and the project is a go. Just in time for NEXT Christmas, heh. It's hard to believe that the production work parts still exist for the songs that were ruined on the two track. I'm happy that I can keep everything analog and not have to remix anything. The damaged parts of the master all were redubs from 15 two track recordings (like Christmastime Is Here-Vocal version).

Yes, this means we can splice this right in to the master reel and do our cutting in real time analog without having to do any "fixing" in the digital domain. And I don't have to do any remixing which I was not looking forward to; the original mixes have a charm and character that is totally lacking on the three-tracks. That tube-to-tube synergy thing that happens during a vintage mixdown session is something that you cannot easily recreate when you remix today. That charm is missing and you do miss it when you don't hear it after hearing it for so many years.
