[The following are notes taken from the interview noted in the title of this page]
- Boyles got a call from Tanc last night – 8pm – says, You know what happened today? He was attacked by Karl Rove (“Fat Dwarf” “questionable character” “fat creep” “premier swamp creature” “Bush’s Brain”) goes on a tirade—“disgraced former Congressman” on national TV (FoxNews) Tom was constructing his reply: “I don’t take moral advice or criticism from a guy who gave us false narrative that brought the Iraq war and chaos in the middle east”. Fox still lies down for the Bush family. Tom’s right – that bush crew got thousands killed and started ISIS. Rove is a GOP consultant – called Tom “Disgraced” — why disgraced? I told Tom to use the word “Lie” but he opted for “false narrative”. Let’s see what local news outlets do with this…. You know, they’re flat-out anti-Tancredo. We all know that. Serious as a heart attack
- Later: Peter attacks Suthers for his stance on VDARE in COSPrings – Peter says VDare is not white supremacist.
- 8:10am 11/15/17 Tom Tancredo appearance – Peter recounts the phonecall from Tom last night (see above). Peter plays audio from FoxNews featuring Karl Rove.
- To tom: I was sleeping
- I’m sorry
- My friend, motorcyclist, mad-bomber, bon vivant, and Gubernatorial hopeful, TT
- No matter how hard I try to keep a low profile
- They keep finding me
- Like that line in the Godfather – they keep pulling you back!
- Politics – ugly and nasty – like that movie “Road to Perdition” when Hanks and Newman are in the basement arguing, and newman says, “Hey, this is the life we have chosen.”
- Same with my life in politics.
- Clint Eastwood movie – “Kid, we’ve all got it coming.” I was reading a book about FDR and the National Recovery Act – wonderful book. And the bat phone rings – and Tom is calling to tell me about what Karl Rove said. Rove is a contributer – he gets a paycheck from FoxNews – [plays audio from FoxNews] Pete says: none of what he said is true!
- It’s annoying that hes’ paid by Fox
- What are his contributions? What is the value to his participation? He has nothing to show for his work
- He doesn’t like you!
- Right after 9/11, I was giving an interview to WashTimes, and I urged the need for secure borders
- And then I get a call from the white house – it was Rove, and he had read the article
- He starts yelling, calling me a traitor. We yelled at each other throughout my entire commute. Finished by telling me “don’t ever darken the doorway of the White House again.”
- And we don’t agree on anything.
- He considers me a traitor, because:
- I attacked Bush on immigration stance
- And the war
- Karl Rove takes the money from Fox, and his role becomes blurred. He’s gunning for Bannon and you. Is he stumping for Walker Stapleton? Karl Rove is a weak little pit bull that mommy and daddy let loose in the yard
- It is interesting that he pulled me out to attack, of all the lines of attack available to attack Bannon
- I don’t know what prompted it – but he does have it in for Bannon
- Bannon hired me at Breitbart, and I admire him. But he has never pressured me to run for anything.
- But if he supports me,
- And can help me win….
- He came after you a month ago on Fox News also…. “Bannon’s Motley Crew of Challengers”
- And I wasn’t even in the race yet
- It’s going to be an interesting situation and race
- It’s going to get so ugly
- And you called it Peter, with your remarks about the nature of the race we’re facing
- And it’s not comforting
- Brauchler was on, and we said that every Gov since Romer seems to have a winky-winky life behind the PR glossy image. You’ve been faithful to Jackie
- For 40 years
- And she is really good at sucking it up for campaigns
- She’s the best.
- Now what happens?
- Well, the best thing…
- I’m certainly not going to let it go
- If I hadn’t immediately responded – in the press or publicly – you have to go straight to the press. Rove didn’t expect that, when I did it after the commute call in DC after 9/11
- He’s a bad guy. What do you think the local media and talk show hosts are going to do with this story?
- No one else will call him out on this stuff
- So I have t
- [commercial break]
- What will local media – the POST – do with this story
- Nothing
- They won’t run it
- Bush’s Brain-= Karl Rove, Man he’s a mysterious interesting character
- Ask the question: why is he doing this?
- Because last time I ran, I was leading the R field AND Hick
- And that’s when the RGA decided they had to play interference –
- They would have rather had Hick
- They respond to the polls
- That’s what the establishment does
- And the Dems don’t have to do anything, cuz the Republicans will do their dirty work
- Money is a huge benefit in elections, but it isn’t always the ultimate determinant –
- Does Fox see creepy Karl Rove as a bomb thrower who can come on, shit the bed, and then disappear
- I don’t know
- But it wasn’t an accident
- I’d say the polls are indicating that I’m doing well
- VDARE and Suthers made you into a spox for white supremacy
- This will be the script for next 9 months
- Tom’s a racist
- But people who know me, and I know who I am
- I don’t hold animus for color of skin or ethnicity
- You’ll not find me supporting white supremacy
- Reading an email from a listener: very insulting toward Boyles. Lebsock is such a weanie. Saying he feels threatened by an email. He doesn’t know how bad it can get
- We’ll be watching local coverage on this story
