Beyonce No-Shows at the Democratic Convention - Was It All A Ratings Ploy? With Cooke and Lowry

this is why I think Rich they they released the lie about Beyonce allegedly showing up at the event last night they wanted to boost ratings there'd be that would be absolutely stupid if to say she's coming when you know she's not coming if if it didn't have a real purpose something that helped you right that's just why would you say like we almost got her and we didn't and just disappoint everybody but it does make sense if your goal is to boost the numbers because we were looking at the numbers the other day Trump's convention didn't do as well on um Monday Tuesday Wednesday obviously kamla had good ratings on Monday because it was Joe Biden it was our sitting president and everybody wanted to see how he was and what he would say given the the Scandal right um and then Tuesday and Wednesday they had big stars of their party the Obama yeah right the the Obama's oppra um Bill Clinton but I do wonder how the numbers will be for the sort of Apples to Apples Kamala versus Trump right and uh I think the whole Beyonce's coming she's not coming thing was a it was an it was a ruse to boost the ratings that's interesting because she's gonna perform at the end and you have to watch the end that's interesting I had I hadn't thought of that but you it's the kind of contrivance I don't know whether that's true or not but kind of contrivance she needs to to boost her I mean if you look at Obama and Trump now these are two extraordinary political talents in their own ways and great performers but they created movements right and hardfought primary battles that they slogged out and won they created new modes of of doing politics they they created signature issues and catchphrases you know whether it's The Audacity Of Hope or build the wall that they came up with on their own and there's just none of that with her and even less less talented political figures you know Bob Dole he got the nomination because he was a you know party stalwart for 30 or 40 years that's that's not her John McCain got the nomination because he was a Maverick and finally won his party over uh to his side at least temporar she she's not like that Bill Clinton you know governor of small rural state who's dismissed because he had a very bad convention speech in 1988 and then just Rises to the top out of sheer talent and verbal Acuity and shamelessness and an ability to do personal po that's not her right it's just none of these things she's she's like where she's originally from Oakland like there's no they're there so they have to manufacture it and you know there's 75 days or less left that's that's still a lot of time but it's not a whole campaign if she had had a run at a primary I don't believe she should have won would have won and then also all these weaknesses would have been exposed and litigated because it wouldn't be you know you saying it or Donald Trump saying it it would have been Pete budded saying it if you'd run against her right so the media they like Pete right so they so they would have reported it they would have at least reported the dispute and none of that has happened she's just uh you know she's like Athena from the head of emerging from the head of Zeus you know just this insta nominee with this insta supposedly movement and this insta Joy what did you call her on National riew um Rich was it a thin wafer yeah wafer thin she's a wafer thin candidate she's I mean normally most women aspire to that but not in the way you're using it here um so just a note on the Beyonce nonsense they said that there was a a there's a hole in the schedule it's going to be Beyonce she's going to come and um Katie fang over at MSNBC absolutely humiliated herself with these momentto moment updates on like she's she's been spotted you know we've seen her um let me see oh yeah I don't have the actual ones in front of me because she just deleted them she's now deleted her tweets out of humiliation but they continued to update okay here we have it in our screen grabs it was like she's coming here she's hearing she's coming hearing the special guest is Beyonce and then well after the point that um who was it that broke The Hollywood Reporter had an exclusive she's not coming we reached out to her reps they said she's not coming she's never been coming there was never a schedule for her to come or an agreement for her to come just stop after that Katie Fang tweets out I'm hearing that Beyonce has arrived she's here all I could think was first of all Steve kraar our executive producer who's a very measured guy he just for Ed it to us with with the word Katie Katie all I can think is like the girl at the high school prom like he's still coming he he'll be here I see a headlight no she's not coming and they were so you know they needed to believe and they certainly needed to believe that it hadn't been a ruse and now after the fact they're trying to tell us that this big surprise guest was a videotaped piece videotaped I say from Steph Curry the basketball player saying I'm for Kamala like that that what I it's just we're lied to around every turn some Americans enjoy using their credit cards because it can be a hassle-free way to pay not to mention a secure one but our sponsor the American payments Coalition says that some DC politicians want to change that with the Durban Marshall credit card bill they say the bill lets corporate megastores pick how your credit card is processed allowing them to use untested payment Network works that could jeopardize your data security and your rewards they say corporate Mega stores will make more money and guess who will wind up paying the price you find out more info at guardy your card.com and consider telling Congress to guard your card while you're
