Episode #2201- Hammer and Nigel Full Show

**Nick Nianakis** (0:00)
Hammer and Nigel. You believe these characters are weirdos?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:06)
You have this guy who's saying he's going to make a speech to make a contrast or draw a contrast against himself and Susan Collins. He stands up for women, she does not because she voted for Brett Kavanaugh. Yet we just had, not more than a week ago, very serious allegations against this very same guy who's now the defender of women. So to me, it seems like maybe a defender of women for my Democratic friends when it's convenient for them. But now that there's a political electoral opportunity to maintain their majority in the Senate, and Graham Platner could outseat Susan Collins, you know what? It doesn't necessarily matter the 10 plus years of arguments we've made about morals and ethics against Trump, and Republicans even power Trump because we can win a seat. It's very Machiavellian in many ways. And to me, any argument that Democrats have framed against Trump, against Republicans, is not null and void. They have revealed themselves to be nothing but hypocrites, nothing but liars. And I think as we get into the general election, you're going to see the case made by Susan Collins, made by the NRSC, that Democrats are not the people that they said that they are. Look at who they're supporting, the guy with the Nazi tattoo.

**Nigel** (1:11)
That was Sher Michael Singleton, part of a panel on CNN decimating Democrats for getting behind this guy named Graham Platner, who just won his primary over in Maine. Somebody, I think his challenger actually was the governor of Maine dropped out last year because the polling was so bad. So he's running unopposed and we'll be battling Susan Collins for that Senate seat, which everybody needs to be paying attention to. My name is Nigel. Jason Hammer is out. Ethan Hatcher is in. And we need to be paying attention to what just happened in Maine for several reasons. Yeah, that could flip a seat there. Susan Collins, no staunch MAGA Republican herself, but it's a red seat. And this guy is everything that the Democrats pointed and said Donald Trump and his supporters were. He is, literally. Graham Plattner, the guy with the Nazi tattoo, sexted women while married, appraising Islamic terrorists.
You know, he said he's a communist. Join this app known to be used by predators.
He is a weird guy, dude.

**Ethan Hatcher** (2:24)
What Democrats have signaled to all of us is that at the end of the day, if morals are what stands between you and power, then morals go to the sidelines because power is more important. But that should come as no surprise to those of us who have been paying attention to the left. After all, it's in the name, Nazi National Socialist Party of Germany. There we go, so in this case, it's the National Socialist Party of Maine. Who would have thought it? I would have thought it. Apparently, Graham Plattner is the man of the people for the Maine Democrat Party, and this is some shocking stuff.

**Nigel** (3:01)
I mean, where's like the Indiana Democrats saying coming out against this guy? I mean, there had been some common sense Democrat high-profile lawmakers come out against him.

**Ethan Hatcher** (3:11)
Where are the people wearing the cafeas? Remember?

**Nigel** (3:14)
Right.

**Ethan Hatcher** (3:15)
Yeah, you know, the anti-fascists.

**Nigel** (3:17)
Yeah.

**Ethan Hatcher** (3:17)
Yeah.

**Nigel** (3:18)
Yeah, and now this guy has a shot. I don't know. I mean, Susan Collins is a beast. I mean, she is had she's been there for years. I don't think she's ever missed a vote in the in the Senate.

**Ethan Hatcher** (3:30)
I mean, I think six terms.

**Nigel** (3:33)
Let me here's Donald Trump earlier this afternoon talking about whether or not he would endorse someone named Susan Collins as senator, even though she's gone against them before.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:48)
You mentioned the Senate race in Maine.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:50)
Are you all in in supporting Susan Collins?

**Tony Kinnick** (3:53)
Does she have your full support and endorsement in her?

**Donald Trump** (3:56)
She does, because she's a sane woman. She's not my best friend at all. These guys are. I get along well, but I have some, but she's a sane person. She's a person that never missed a vote in many years. She's like had 10,000 votes. She had 10,000 votes. She never missed a vote, unfortunately, because sometimes she voted against me. You know, she's a sane woman and she's a respected person.
Maybe a little different ideology than me.
But this guy is a thug. He's a fake. He's a fake thug. He's a phony.
