Talk Show Host Michelangelo Signorile handles a Trumper (from yesterday)

If you've never heard Michelangelo Signorile's show, he has a very soothing, thoughtful, quiet voice, so it's unusual to hear him explode, like he does in this call. This is just an example of one way to handle a Trumper. Signorile's program is on the SiriusXM Progressive channel, 3PM - 6PM EST.

(Transcript)

Michelangelo Signorile : Matt is in Kansas City. Hi Matt, what’s going on? (long pause) Hi, Matt.

Matt: Yeah, hi there, how are you doing?

MS: Okay, what’s happening?

Matt: You know, I was just listening to your show and it’s crazy to hear somebody that, you know, is saying so much honest truth. What’s coming out of your mouth, is that really what you believe? Because I think it’s just beautiful, you know what I’m saying? It’s hard to hear that here in the Mid-west.

MS: You mean you’re not hearing that kind of criticism of this administration, of Donald Trump, of the Republican National Convention?

Matt: Here in the mid-west all I get is honesty, honesty, honesty, and it’s such a relief to hear complete bullshit lies come out of your mouth. It’s like a breath of fresh air. Because you’re a piece of shit.

MS: Ah! Is that what it is Matt? You’re a piece of shit who doesn’t have the balls to call up and say, “I disagree with him and I want to talk about disagreeing with him.” Why are you so small, Matt? And now you’re going to hang up, right?

Matt: I’m not going to hang up.

MS: Why do you lie, Matt, to get on the show? Why do you pull that kind of thing? Why do you engage in deception to get on the show? I have no problem taking on assholes like you, alright? I have no fucking problem taking you apart. So bring it the fuck on, Matt!

Matt: Hey, dipshit!

MS: (Inaudible due to loud distortion as MS shouts into microphone) ..Dipshit! Bring it on, Matt. What’s your case, what’s your case?

Matt: What do you want?

MS: What is your case for Donald Trump?

Matt: Okay, I don’t think there’s anything good in any of this stuff. That’s my case. All you’re doing is spreading more dissention between a country that needs to be united, not divided.

MS: You’re not making sense, Matt. You don’t think there’s any sense in any of this, but, you don’t like Donald Trump, is that it?

Matt: I’m saying propaganda…

MS: Do you like Donald Trump, Matt?

Matt: Propaganda.

MS: Do you like Donald Trump, Matt?! Yes or no?

Matt: I don’t like Trump, I don’t like anybody.

MS: You know, Matt, what you are is a complete waste of time. And you’re a waste of my time. Because this country is completely and utterly under collapse. Our democracy is in danger of withering, and you’re sitting around in your mid-west piece of shit house that I’m sure you’re in and saying, “I don’t really care about anything.” Right? “I don’t give a shit about anything.” Because you have White Privilege, Matt. Because you can sit around and say you don’t care. And then what do you do? You call up radio shows lying, lying, and making believe— Why did you call this show as if you were calling to say you agreed with me?

Matt: (Laughing) Because it’s…

MS: Why did you do that, Matt, why? Because you are a liar and a deceiver like your Savior-in-Chief Donald Trump, and don’t tell me you don’t support Donald Trump. Because there is nobody who doesn’t either hate or love Donald Trump. And we know exactly what you’re up to. And you’re a piece of shit liar and we have your number, 913-370… I’m not going to say the rest of it. You will never call this fucking show again. Now get off the show you piece of shit.

they call in to spew their talking points, or when they lie to get on like this guy.

but that was epic. I agree with his sentiment, however; I can’t stand nihilism in the face of this existential threat.

in their defense of rump (?, a pathetically feeble defense). They don't have the facts (how can they, they've lied so much so, that they wouldn't know what the truth is if it hit them in the face), so they have to continue to lie, cheat, etc. their way in everything.

If I were a business, I wouldn't hire any of these people by the way.

If I were a church going person, I wouldn't trust the top leadership (for example, Jerry 'scumbag' Falwell, Jr., or the crybaby 'snake oil' salesman (jim bakker) trying to push his wares that they cure the CV).

How proud Jerry Falwell Senior must be, after his photo of his son, made the rounds in social media circles. Barely dressed in his gross, half-buttoned pants that barely covering up his protruding gut. God fearing indeed, aren't they?

He takes apart their talking points like big bad wolf does a straw house.... But does it without disrespecting the caller .even if they do... I was upset when SiriusXM cancelled his program at 12 and moved it to 9 pm on a different channel.
