very fitting that we come back on the Sammy Hagar lead Van Halen song his this
next guest cannot drive 55 at
its one thing I know about him
most of time podcast co-host of
America’s newsroom.
>> Battle and Bill Hemmer in
the House in this corner.
>> Harry is I would have been
here sooner the elevators take
a longer have you notice,
they’re not your friend
here haha no I they were your
friend during when nobody was
in there in the bill that right
now we don’t know how to budget
for time
haha great and if you have to
do this now this is a Fe, this
is fatal now they used to be a
time in this building
where you can get in and hit
the wrong forming I’m coming to
15, but I
hit one, okay, okay, one I’d
like all me let me get back
yeah now that rig in elevators
come to think it here in a
Toyota Sienna and 12 minutes a
day we must show starts in 3
about this one you know FOX
business yella Vader’s here I I
love business news yaya I’m
kind of a geek for right.
So they’ll be telling a story
during covid I just can’t get
out of the So tell me I just
wait there and the elevator
never leaves the And then when
the segments over the
interviews done and I just said
door open tonight so that’s
putting those days are gone
Brown because at least you can
get out. I’ve also been on the
receiving end of this when I
couldn’t open the door and
someone gets an a legacy.
You just live in an elevator.
I get it, it’s got a squatter
this guy’s an elevator squatter
yeah cause we’ve been having a
very spirited conversation
around inflation and gas and
everything in between the
question I have for you bill
Hemmer what was your first car.
All my first car. It is easy.
It was a 19 73.
>> He grand Torino
ladies it was
$625.
We sold it a year later for
$525. 2 months into ownership.
We realize the rear we’ll
Hobbs.
Had been pay the rusted been
painted over
haha time of for the pain to
fall off now and it was a mess.
>> We put a $100 you know where
we put a $700 enough $625 car and I think we have the power haha we had
we had big
speaker Ojeda had that they
weren’t mounted like the cool
kids say they laid on the back
him that backseat was huge, you
know those robots those are
battleships bad it was yours
uttering allow I had a Chrysler
lebaron I know nobody likes to
show But I had it actually like
it was it was interesting
because it prepared me well for
cab driving in that the lebaron
I got.
>> Had such a bad alignment
situation was missing a bearing
on the steering COLUMN and
so I had to turn right to turn
And was interesting because I
get when I became a cab driver
later in life, you know you
never knew what you had gotten
when you jump then whether
it was the quality of the car
or the dinner, somebody left
behind or heaven forbid some
transaction, some Alyssa advice
that took place in the back
seat. You know you got to play
the teams on the schedule and
kept driving 6 and it was there
was always a formidable
opponent waiting for you before
you even start or you know it’s
good so I got one of the
reasons we were talking you
have to turn right before you
could just feel you had this is
what you actually had to do you
had to spin the wheel. Yes
to center the steering to go
left does this make sense how
it does how this car passed
inspector year of the worst
we’ve got one of those like
used car dealers on hillside
Avenue where they give you a to
a 2 hour
2 mile But now we cover the
whole car we get a warranty
than ever tell you the length
of the warranty. Yeah, it’s the
minute you leave the minute
your checklist that you looked
handsome by dinner right.
I didn’t write you know, I mean
I don’t quite have your speaker
system but we’ve got a lot on
South Mount solace hammer.
Well, there’s nothing like
there’s nothing like those
those moments, those first
moments of adult autonomy when
you’re in a car without
parental oversight, you just
out in the world and I keep
thinking as you know we deal
with gas prices and stuff,
none of us ever approach it
from that standpoint we talk
about how it affects drivers in
all of that no talks about the
18 year-old who just wants the
Blair, whatever Hamill was
Blair and I I don’t know you
are blind and then I mean it
was hard rock and Russian.
It was Springsteen.
>> I mean it was the sound of
the day you do it all wasn’t
quite Sammy Hagar haha we’re in
the same yeah
area haha but it you know to
talk about their plight hammer
that that’s one of my big
concerns when I hear something
like you know I was watching
Kirby climate change is an
emergency and Mayor Pete say
and well you know the high gas
prices I mean it’s just another
benefit to the people like us
who have a you know green
energy vehicle Evie.
>> There’s an indifference
there’s an indifference to
everybody but we never discuss
the indifferent to high school
kids in your opinion
are they showing a little
indifference now but not offer
yes, absolutely I must confess
that you know it’s a
consideration I really haven’t
given yeah a lot of time to
end. I should may I mean if I
was 1617 years old.
I miss taking a big chunk out
of my yet they double gas
prices when you’re 16 doubled
when I was 7, I mean I I mean
what it would cut down on my
drinking that’s the good news I
mean that’s another I wasn’t
much of a drinker that will
that’s how I got out of calm
that’s what you’re hosting
America’s so I got out of
college and things change.
Let me tell you Jim for a sober
thought that grand jury no was
split 3 ways between my brother
my older sister,
200 bucks each get out of 10 my
sister goes to college 3 months
later, she says I need you guys
to buy me out I need the money
haha well it was the
foresight there.
So we had the chalk up a 100
bucks each although there was
no like twitter lawsuit or
anything down there we tried it
was a loud of the DL and one of
the owners was a body that
sense it turned out it was only
2 of us it was amicable bill
Hemmer is in studio elevator.
Enthusiast’s grand jury, no
owner we’re talking cars were
talking climate a good looking
>> when I hear it’s a climate
emergency.
That to me sounds like they’re
trying to just weaponize
whatever power they have to get
done whatever they can you know
the tail end of this
this year reminds me of heading
into the midterm Kelly member
those game shows where they had
a shopping spree. They give you
5 minutes or so
you had to get as much in the
car as he could, but whatever
got the cart you kept
with the minimal majority they
have in the minimal control and
window they have left to
exercise it, I feel like I’m
watching a far-left shopping
spree how well they’re gonna
try to stop some climate
emergency and that’s good
that’s good. I think the only
way it happens is by executive
order. I don’t know what
they’re going to do I read
deeply on this earlier today
and in the debate at the White
House seems to be what can we
do and what can we get away
with. Meanwhile, we put a poll
on the air during our program
this That I’m sure you watch
with Dan it me or religiously
among the top issues in the
recent New York Times poll.
>> Climate change had one
percent.
That’s among Democrats and 3 I
was like is this right. They
said in
the Times. But so I I mean I
ask you what would they do what
would they get done I think
it’s the same thing on the
abortion issue. I think they’re
trying to craft something that
will stand the test of time
legally yeah, and that’s the
holdup right now talking about
abortion pills and maybe that
happens or maybe a dozen
but the climate thing only
makes sense to me in the
following way Jimmy.
It’s July and you know what
it’s going to be hot. It’s
going to be hot this July.
It’s going to be hot next It’s
going to be hot 10 July’s yeah,
it’s called summer. I have to
that Democrats raise a lot of money when they go out and hold events that. Talk about
the climate and I I think
that’s why it happens. Yeah
and the far left will jump on
that bandwagon of time all day.
But when I hear things because
I great but when I hear things
like how we might do through
executive order we’re kind of
power do we have
we’re really getting place in
the country what I mean by that
is an adage in sports they
would say you know
inconsistency is the whole mark
of a bad team. If every time
we trade power in this country,
someone’s going to pick up a
pen and just rewrite the
direction of the country.
It puts us on a very
inconsistent path. It puts this
on the path of a bad team, I
believe it was Joe Torre he
used to say Al Joe Torre they
give you a quote once in a
while come on it was like Jeter
because he didn’t answer
questions you know I mean that
it just said well what do you
think the Red Sox this You know
we just want to play good ball.
Stay within myself, you know
bulletin board material yeah
that’s interesting look I think
Trump did a lot I think obama I
think obama did it a lot.
>> My recollection on Bush is
not as good on that topic is
perhaps it should be but I I
think the last 1214 years of
the executive branch of
government they’ve been
governing by way of is it a
guest of order
and both sides are guilty yes
absolutely and I just think
we’re in a bad spot with that
as far as the Bush thing goes
if only you knew somebody who
worked for him who was willing
to talk about it on TV can you
give me a minute I can if you
want to drink it gave you do a
shot every time. Dana says
George Bush or ice a taxi to be
in bad shape by the end of the
day on the FOX bill Hemmer is
in the House, let me throw this
one just Handicap and now this
is just sports talk radio we’re
going back to the old days.
>> The early edition hammer.
This is in the hammer box at
the time like this is like the
first compact disk it is let’s
be honest.
Just give me Vegas odds, real
Vegas odds Biden runs and
today, yeah, 5149 okay that he
does run today, yes, she is now
there is there a party that
says that by the way that was
in 50 to 48, yeah haha
yeah haha I
can put it at
50.5 49.5 if you want yeah, but
as of today, I think it’s I
don’t think anywhere where he’s
running but I think we respect
you saying, oh no chance 0 I
things I think is 0 chance that
you know that is when I look at
does 2 things the polling
within the party that we’ve all
covered extensively, but the
bigger tell me is when I hear
David Axelrod say it’s time to
step aside
when David Axelrod is talking
you know obama’s lips are
moving like a ventriloquist act
you know that’s obama’s top
strategist, so facts is openly
saying anybody else 2024.
I get the feeling the Martha’s
Vineyard crowd doesn’t have the
Delaware hope with Beach crowds
back you get that yeah I get
that feeling that’s right.
It’s just a short helicopter
ride away. If you’ve been
paying attention to the last
month there’s a portion of the
Democratic Party that has
certainly turned and Biden yet
there’s no question about it
they were running cover him for
him for a year and a half
including the chaos in Kabul
and everything that came from
that.
>> But that has changed and not
every circle but a lot of them
and finally it was the New York
Times that jumped on
board politico Washington Post
those and I thought those were
your 3 biggies Yep when they
start writing pieces with
quotes from anonymous people
then you know the tide has
turned and I really thought 2
weeks ago the front page story
by Peter Baker that was
like okay. We’re done here and
we’re looking for
in solid it would I mean if I
were Biden and I was on the
South Lawn of the White House
and a reporter said Mister
president away think about that
poll that said all these
Democrats don’t want you to
run.
>> And he turned his said it’s
not what it said Jack I
probably would not have said
Jack haha every actor with a
level of vigor and enthusiasm
that would have simply rejected
the poll and its which which is
what he did. I don’t know what
he’s thinking inside.
>> But when you go overseas.
And the young governor
from California. Flies across
country.
And next a decision to go to
the White House yet when the
president is.
>> Overseen he wasn’t
scram Jimmy know he was
overseas. Yeah, so in between
the White House and the old
Executive Office building the
Eisenhower. There’s there’s a
driveway and typically when you
want to sneak in or going
subtly or make no grand
entrance. What you would do is
drive up that driveway enter
the side door in the White
House and with with the
photographers do with their
perched up on this place called
Pebble and so they were trained
their lenses on
a zoom and catchy for about a 2
second walk okay, it’s like one
to strides and boom
you’re in you’re in frame
you’re out of okay and that’s
what you get to slow it down
you take a still picture.
Gavin Newsome made a decision
to walk toward the front of
the building wave to the I the
up and enter the door that the
Marine guards guard that
Joe.
>> I’m not mistaken. He walked out with his jacket off over his shoulder a bit of that I
mean the only thing missing was
a tape measure for the drapes
know well, I mean it was a
definite Hill or call it what
you like. And when I hear you
know these conversations that
they have met back channel with
fundraisers out in La Newsome
and kamala.
>> They don’t do that on
speculation. They’re not
showing up saying hey if this
guy doesn’t run would you like
to donate their showing up
saying give me money but my
logic is I don’t know what
yours is, but you’ll tell me
after Biden doesn’t want to
give up the reins can’t
blame them. But there are a lot
of people trying to push him
aside Yep and they’re trying to
force him to make a decision
and for them the sooner.
Yeah that was well
to the point of sports
strategy. This is what I would
say and I think looking back
this will be the fatal flaw of
at least this term. He
could have put some distance
between himself and the crises
by firing advisers like
Afghanistan should have
resulted in the firing or 2
with the minimal maybe a Milli
okay, the same thing when it
comes to inflation okay, there
are firing to fire up how
something like that
you put at least a little
different a little distance
between yourself and the things
dragging you down in the polls
because right now I think their
refusal to own failure.
Flies in the face of so
everyone else’s eyes like
Afghanistan, selling that as a
success really discredited him
he was above water in the polls
before Afghanistan’s close he
was close not my reading of the
polls were in the summer of
2021, and you can look at the
chart June to July things start
going South. Yeah I think that
we’re going that way because of
County came in to kill covid
and.
>> The way it went away it when
his variance we would meant the
other thing is that he was
exposed in a way that he had
not been before and that is can
you defend your own policies
can you defend your own ideas
and when he lacked that ability
people started saying well
what’s up here. And that’s when
the chart starts to go south
and and then mid August is is
where they eventually went and
have not come back since that’s
the way I see it is a mass
having said all of that you
want to lower those odds to
like 4852 Ares
not day. I just don’t want to
get ahead of the storm, no I
agree I agree a 100 bucks you
can get ahead and I don’t know
when you’re Chrysler
lebaron haha what was it it was
a Chrysler lebaron we did have
some steering issue handsome
but I will have you know the
alignment on the show is just
fine bill has see you on the
car thats great under the hood.
Thank you for blessing of the
