Speaker 1: Welcome back to The David
Pakman Show. My name is Brittany Page, host of the Page Perspective here on YouTube.
And I am your guest host today. I'm feeling a little insecure about my voice and whether or
not I sound sick because I'm actually Covid positive right now. After attending the
Democratic National Convention in Chicago last week. Let this be your reminder to book your
appointments for your boosters, and to continue to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. Thank
you for being here with me today. You know, it's rare that we get such a perfect example
of Fox News working overtime to protect their audience from understanding reality. But we got
a good one today. Everyone's favorite governor and Democratic nominee for vice president, Tim
Walz, made an appearance at the firefighters union conference in Boston. He delivered a
speech at the 57th International Association of Firefighters convention, and Fox News actually
covered it. We had Bret Baer and Dana Perino. And if you don't know these Fox News hosts, I'll
tell you more about Brett Baer after this clip. But he is supposedly on the news side.
Quote unquote, over on Fox. And Dana Perino, of course, was the white House press secretary
under George W Bush. They were working this hour while Fox News carried Tim Walz a speech.
And I want you to notice during this clip, when Brett and Dana, our esteemed hosts, decide
it is crucial that they cut in. Tell me if you notice anything about the timing on this.
Speaker 3: Watch some of you in here. And I'm going to say this because I know we're
bipartisan, some of the gray hairs in here. I know what you're thinking. And I remember it
too, because it's my family. When Republicans used to talk about freedom. They meant it.
They meant it. Not anymore. These guys over there. They want government to have the
freedom to invade every corner of your life. From our union halls to our kids schools,
even our doctors offices. Vice president. Like, we got a little bit different vision of
that. We believe that you, not politicians, should be made free to make your own health
care choices. We believe that workers deserve to collectively bargain for fair wages, safe
working conditions, good health care and secure retirement. No interference from government.
Speaker 4: I'm listening to Governor Tim Walz in Minnesota. He's also the vice presidential nominee
for the Democratic ticket. He's speaking to the firefighters union in Boston, Massachusetts,
about 350,000 members, Brett, and speaking there enthusiastically without notes. And they really
want to get this union vote. I don't know, though, Brett, if the rank and file would agree with him.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's interesting, I think that this is a pitch, a speech designed
specifically for the union. A lot of talk about collective bargaining, a lot
of talk about, you know, issues that those union members talk about in those halls.
Speaker 1: Interesting. Right. When Walz is leaning in with specifics about the Harris Walz
policies and plans and that a place is going wild, Brett and Dana are popping in to say, hey, now
it's time for our analysis about how the union doesn't seem to be buying what they're selling.
I guess thunderous applause can mean different things to different people. Now, Dana Perino,
having worked for George W Bush, is an obvious partizan when she's not interrupting Tim Walz the
speech, because it is sounding just a little too good. She can be found as one of the hosts on
the five, attacking any of the usual suspects, but often homeless people or other similarly
marginalized and mistreated groups in America, while Brett well, Brett Baer, he loves
to spend Thanksgiving at Mar-A-Lago, as you can see here. And he and Trump seem
pretty close, because here's Donald Trump praising Brett's golf game recently at a rally.
Speaker 2: And when you went to club championship, that means you can play under
pressure. You can ask a lot of the people up there like Brett Bear.
Brett Bear's a good golfer. Ask him, Can Trump play? Ask a lot of the people.
Speaker 1: But so these two people very obviously have their thumb on the scale for Trump. But I
want to hear more from walls, not just because I am Foley walls pilled, but because I want both
Harrison walls to win. I think it is crucial that they win. But I also want to hear more from
Tim Walz because he is good. He makes the case, he makes you want to support him and take action
to support him. So let's hear more from him this time without interruption from the Trump minions.
Speaker 3: Look, I'll keep saying it. Words are cheap. Actions is all you should care about.
Make sure you're counting on what was delivered when Donald Trump was president. He blocked
overtime benefits for millions of workers. He opposed efforts to raise the minimum wage, and
he even proposed slashing budgets for federal fire service programs. Those are just simply
facts. But look, it's not just what they've done, it's what they're going to do. This is the big
thing. One of the goals of their project, 2025, is to screw the middle class, making it harder
for workers to collectively bargain, allowing employers to drastically cut overtime or eliminate
it, slash taxes for the ultra wealthy by imposing a national sales tax on the rest of us. Look, I've
said this. I'm an old time football coach. If you draw up a playbook, you plan on using it. Project
2025 is a plan to reshape what America looks like, moving away from the middle class and putting it
right back on the oligarchs and the wealthy at the top, he said. He's going to repeal the Affordable
Care Act. That thing is preexisting conditions. Those are things that make sure that our family
gets health care. And for many of our families, and I know you don't get to participate in
it, but your families do. My mom does. Social Security and Medicare are life saving programs
for them. Instead of funding those programs, they talk about cutting them. So here is
what I always say. If you got $1 billion, you don't give a damn if your Social Security
check shows up. But if you're like my mom, that's how you pay for your food. That's how you
pay for your heat. That's how things get done. So that check pretty damn important to protect it.
Speaker 1: That is right. This is the energy we need. Reminders that Donald Trump is fundamentally
a rich guy who has lived a life of luxury, never wanting for anything, surrounded by
a bubble of constant protection. He can't relate to us. He can't relate to you. And when
I was at the Democratic National Convention last week getting Covid, I was so happy that they
really centered project 2025 throughout the week. Each day there was a speaker who carried
out a massive book and put it on the podium and highlighted a specific aspect of project 2025
that would harm people, harm us. As Kamala Harris and Tim Walz prepared to sit for their
big interview with CNN's Dana Bash, I'm looking forward to hearing more of this direct messages
about the damage a Trump administration would do and a unifying message we can all get behind.
I'd love to know what you think about this in the comments below. Or you can connect with me here
