26:28 As you'll tell by my clips today, because I got some of the most shallow stories. Although entertaining! Yes well that is part of what we do Some of the most shallow stories...I mean we did have-the only thing that kind of came out let's get back to the upcoming primaries Is The Monkey Story Yeah I have a I have the original clip if that'll...I see you have some clips. Well actually, I have it there but I have the original clip incorporated and then kind of edited. Okay. I-I have a decent background in it. The only reason i say that is because I felt after I'd read all the headlines like oh my goodness That when I really heard his whole clip in context, it's such bullshit. Oh yeah, play the whole clip and then you'll hear it again with this clip. Okay so this is Ron DeSantis and he's talking about...is it Gillum who is now the Democratic
27:21 He'll be running for governor, right? Yeah he was promoted by Bernie Sanders and he's a good associate of in at least in kind an associate of AOC. Oh yeah! He has a very socialist message And in this context, it is important to understand that he's black. Well look I mean this is a Florida elections are always competitive and you know This is a guy who although he's much too too liberal for Florida. He's got huge problems with how he's governed Tallahassee You know, he is an articulate spokesman for those far left views and he's a charismatic candidate. And I watched those Democrat debates none of that was my cup of tea but I mean he performed better than the other people there so we've got to work hard to make sure that we continue Florida going in a good direction let's build off the success we've had on Governor Scott The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up
28:15 by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state. That is not going to work, that's not going to be good for Florida." So of course immediately the headlines came out saying oh he said articulate and he said monkeying up! And you've got to be a racist prick if you receive those words and immediately translate it into racism What how was your brain functioning? I mean, this is the dimension B brain. I mean what he clearly would have wanted to say is F it up because that's what the term is mess It up f it up and somehow monkey came out. Oh, you must be racist oh my goodness I mean people really believe this and the weird thing is they've also transposed it to monkey business
29:08 They did that on PBS. I've heard that number of times. Oh, monkey business! Dog whistle! Dog whistle! Monkey business? Is it dog whistle? Yeah you say monkey businesses is a dog whistle to uh... For racists. Racists. Racists. Racists yeah all right let's listen to the way they handle this on PBS when they do their rundown i thought because the way they told us started to begin with i thought there were any pbs picked this up as a story This, now you're reflecting my thoughts at the moment. Which were I was thinking well these idiots won't go on in that direction because that's really kind of a CNN MSNBC take on things but no! No they not only went there but they worsened it and they added a third element So Lisa no sooner though did we see these results and there is already some controversy
30:03 in this contest for the Senate. For Congressman DeSantis, this was a huge win and much coveted prize for him, his primary win in Florida This morning he goes on Fox News talking about now the race against Mr Gillum And he says something that's gotten a lot of attention Let's play it He is an articulate spokesman for those far left views and he's a charismatic candidate. The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace the socialist agenda with huge tax increases, and bankrupting the state. Not minutes later, but seconds later of course many people on Twitter pointing out that those are words monkeying around that are offensive to many African-Americans and have long been used as race baiting terms. And also the term articulate to describe a minority is something that is seen not being post racial The last time someone was accused of that you know who that was? Chuck Schumer about Obama
31:01 But she said, she changed the word monkey, uh monkeyed up to monkying around. Yes. Did he never say monkeying around? Nope Americans have long been used as race bait in terms and also the term articulate to describe minority is something that is seen not being post racial so we talked to the DeSantis campaign they sent us a statement but did you say not seeing this something not being his post-racial It's not being seen as post-racial, I guess. What is post racial? Well this is another one of these things that you and I and much of our audience don't seem to understand which is because Obama and because the way what was taught in college today everything that you do publicly should
31:51 post-racial and now the MMPO special doesn't mean there's no racism to know races it means that you should be I This is my interpretation. So yeah Everything you do should be extremely hypersensitive To anything possibly it any element should be incredibly subtle race racially, you have to be Squeaky clean, squeaky clean. You have to be really cautious so you can't say monkey it up or as she takes a and monkeying around which he didn't say which will make the note of that and then the thing the other thing which what she pointed out and you pointed out already which is this saying the guy's articulate yeah
32:38 If I say that you're articulate or if you say, I'm articulate. That's fine Yeah But if you say a black guy is articulate that's racism God Now this to me Is like A very...I don't understand how the black community at large doesn't see this as incredibly insulting No shit So in other words Black person cannot be articulate That what I am saying The people who come up with this are racist They're the ones thinking that. That's crazy! Well, did you... does that play out? No no no I'm sorry not even halfway through it i'm already tripping. Seen as and not being post-racial so we talked to the DeSantis campaign they sent us a statement saying Ron DeSantis was obviously thinking about Floridians not making the wrong decision on policies and the policies that Gillum espouses
33:33 But Judy, I think this is resonating today and for Republicans to have race be an issue right out of the gate is not just a problem overall in terms of Republicans' messaging but in Florida. President Trump won in Florida, we know, in 2016 but that was also a year where we saw large sharp decreases in minority turnout in Florida President Obama won in Florida twice. So if you see an African-American at the top of the ballot, especially when there's concern about minority issues it is something Democrats think could drive out their voters And meantime on the other side Kyle, the president has endorsed DeSantis
34:12 some time ago. Today he's weighing in, already criticizing Gillum with a tweet and I'm quoting he said not only did Congressman Ron DeSantis easily win in the Republican primary but his opponent in November is his biggest dream of failed socialist mayor named Andrew Gillum who has allowed crime and many other problems to flourish in his city this is not what Florida wants or needs so now Now this is of course Trump being a racist. Racist! This would make nothing but sense to support this guy who's obviously a racist because he used the word... He is racist! ...monkey it up, or phrase and he also said that he also complimented the guys being articulate which is an insult yeah so we have to get all these things straight now and now there's a third guy sitting there who's like did just kind of sit down analyst
35:04 And he's listening to this whole thing and he, I think, and it is a classic modern PBS news hour lefty. He's sitting there and I know what he's doing, he's thinking wow geez They're gonna draw it to me in a minute. I gotta come up with something to kind of like shake it up bit, I got to earn my spurs! I'm gonna have and he thinks I'm sure is always thinking he's thinking I'm going to top this or at least put some icing on this cake or some lipstick on the pig hit I think that you may see Trump sort of echoing kind of a, sort of racially charged statement talking about crime in relation to an African American candidate. I will say there is sort of X factor in this race and that is that there's an FBI investigation of Tallahassee City Government where Gillum is the mayor it's not clear as to whether Gillum would be involved in that but that is sort
35:57 a cloud hanging over his campaign and I think the reason why some Democrats were sort of hesitant to support him in this campaign. To be fair we should say he says he's not. Now at the very beginning that he pointed out which is icing on the cake, that by Trump calling this guy out for running a crappy city Tallahassee that's crime ridden Anytime you use crime rated in association with a black racist, it's racist because I think that you may see Trump sort of echoing kind of the sort of a racially charged statement talking about crime in relation to an African American Canada. I will say there is sort of an x-factor in this race and that is unbelievable. Jeez
