story. not bernie, but most of the mainstream media really didn t get that. and now that everyone is caught up and realized it, oh, yeah, he definitely has this strong appeal, do you think there s anything that could break trump voters from him? there s a recent piece out in which a trump voter says well, i guess if he killed someone in cold blood, i d change my mind. i mean, really well, he can shoot a gun down fifth avenue, right. yeah. yeah. and get away with it. yeah. and all of a sudden we ve got a crouch grabber for a president. yeah. this is the darkest political moment in american history. who is going to argue that? and i m wondering too because one of the things about that period in the 80s was there was sorted of a certain dallas and dynasty culture, the love of sbreb rit. and this is donald trump also in your interview talking about his book sales, because the art of the deal had come out which tony swarts actually wrote but he took credit for. this is donal
yeah. and, you know, one of the things, you know, that i guess the media missed during the campaign, that you had to sort of be a trump supporter to get is that he did even back in the 1980s make this appeal to a certain kind of american who feels put upon by foreigners, put upon by, you know, people of color, whatever it is they re put upon by. and this is donald trump back in 1987 talking about japan and other countries ripping off the country. take a listen. kuwait r saudi arabia, they re ripping off this country and i don t like seeing it. other countries have to pay us for the services we re rendering or this country is going to go right down the tubes. that is no different than his campaign appeal, no different. and that s a variation on the theme that i think earned him so much voting power, enough to become president. he would go to these i wonder, who are these people under the you know, when he walks out and the big rallies.
saying what about me? well, you know, but this is the question i have whenever i hear that. don t we talk about these folks all the time? there have been so many stories of this particular trump voter staying soulfulel out a window that i think you can print an entire new york times of just that picture. we talk about them every day. had there are polls about them every week. we re constantly talking about these people. how can they feel not talked about? we talk about them every day? well, this is a hard point to make because it is true. not everything sucks. i mean, there are i ve had howard stern on my show, so i ll watch my language. it is true, a lot of good work going on. and not all the media deserves to be criticized. i see these women in iraq and afghanistan with the helmets and i think holely cow, what if their parents are watching. daddy will get you a job at starbucks. and it was true. it wasn t totally ignored, but
there again today. despite protests against holding the preeminent women s tournament at a course owned by someone who has bragged about groping women, the usga has rejected calls to move the open off trump s course. joining me now is shawna thomas, cofounder of ultraviolet. and shawna, thank you for being here. the spectacle of any kind of sporting event being held on the grounds of a course owned by the president of the united states, with the president of the united states presiding, feels very unlike what america is like. your thoughts? i agree with you, but in this case, in the case of donald trump, it almost doesn t matter if he s president or not. the usga associating themselves with donald trump and forcing women to play on his golf course is absolutely shameful. in our view.
out, saying she hoped trump stayed away from the open so the spotlight is on the players, not him. when she asked daly to golf at her tournament, he said, tough to do things when people down one of my great friends. sorry, some things shouldn t be said. so, essentially, you have a male pro golfer siding with donald trump against women. i mean, what is there i don t know, is there any solidarity there in the golf world for women golfers? evidently, there isn t. this isn t about whether you like donald trump, it s about what we represents. what he has said hums aboimself who he is, a sexual predator. they had an opportunity to come to the defense of women golfers, who, frankly, don t have the leverage and are not in a position to force the usga to do anything. and they didn t. they did the exact opposite. they sided with trump, they untim dated the women players and, you know, essentially, they re endorsing this hor rofic, frankly, behavior and
