[00:00:28] Okay, this is a really, really fascinating take from one of my buddies who is a really wonderful political writer, Eric Erickson. And it's about the whole weird thing that's going back and forth. To me, it's the stupidest thing ever. And it should be get almost no response. It should be issues.

[00:00:53] And it's unfortunately with the gentleman I'm voting for, President Trump, and always have voted for when he runs for president, is he responds to that and plays the game. And when you play their game, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, you got it? You lose! Woo! We've got a loser! Yay! But we victoriously go marching thinking we're going to win to lose again!

[00:01:22] When we win! When we play their game, we lose. That's it. When you play their game, guess what? They set it up and you follow like a dog following a ball.

[00:01:33] The moment, the second, the day, the hour when Trump doesn't follow and play their game is the moment we win. And I'm going to read something from Sagar and Jetty who was on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show all the time.

[00:01:45] I mean, he was with, I can't remember, Newsweek or one of the publications that are actually conservative.

[00:01:52] And he tweeted this today, and you've got to hear this. This is so important. It's been sitting at the top of my view here.

[00:01:58] I've been meaning to say this with you. I retweeted it, responded to it earlier.

[00:02:01] There is no chance Kamala could survive a real 18-month run for president.

[00:02:07] Her primary run fell apart through interviews, multiple debates, etc.

[00:02:11] But now she's only got to duck and hide for 97 days in a friendly space.

[00:02:17] In friendly spaces. And commit to a single debate. Major structural problem for the Republicans.

[00:02:23] Yes, yes, yes, yes. This is on Barack Obama's terms. This is his fourth term.

[00:02:31] He put this together. These are his people. He blessed her. He did all this.

[00:02:36] He's the one who, according to one report from journalist Seymour Hirsch, that he was the one who threatened Joe with the 25th Amendment.

[00:02:46] We know the New York Post reported that Pelosi and Schumer did, but that came from Obama, undoubtedly, in my view.

[00:02:55] But, and Seymour Hirsch's view. But listen, no way Kamala could survive 18 months.

[00:03:01] She never has, never will for any presidential run.

[00:03:05] But this has been orchestrated and timed out perfectly.

[00:03:07] Who timed this out? Barack Obama.

[00:03:09] Who chose when to pull the trigger? Barack Obama.

[00:03:12] Who was mad and angry and is disgusted and horribly angry at Joe Biden.

[00:03:19] He was forced into this.

[00:03:22] So, let me share Eric's column under this thing about the whole weird thing and going back and forth.

[00:03:29] And the headline here, by the way, is separately from Mediate, who hates Trump.

[00:03:34] Trump fires back at Democrats attacking him as, quote, weird.

[00:03:37] Weird.

[00:03:38] Trump fires back at Kamala Harris.

[00:03:39] Allies attacking him as weird with stunning originality.

[00:03:42] She's a weird person.

[00:03:43] Like, you know, I know you are, but what am I?

[00:03:46] Just plain weird, he said.

[00:03:47] You know who's plain weird?

[00:03:48] She's weird.

[00:03:48] She's a weird person.

[00:03:49] Look at her past.

[00:03:50] Look at what she does.

[00:03:50] And look at what she used to say about herself.

[00:03:52] And I don't, I won't get into it.

[00:03:53] What she used to say and who she was compared to, what she said.

[00:03:57] Starting in 2016, she became a totally different person for political reasons.

[00:04:01] Okay, that's not winning.

[00:04:02] That's losing.

[00:04:03] Put a little L on your, put the L shape on your hand and then put it on your forehead.

[00:04:08] Here's what Eric wrote today that's so perfect.

[00:04:11] And so write.

[00:04:13] Historian Gertrude Himelfarb, whoever that is, you probably made it up.

[00:04:16] Just kidding.

[00:04:17] Once wrote, what was once stigmatized as deviant behavior is now tolerated and even sanctioned.

[00:04:25] What was once regarded as abnormal has been normalized.

[00:04:29] As deviancy is normalized, so what once was normal becomes deviant.

[00:04:34] The kind of family that has been regarded for centuries as natural and moral, the Burgess family has, family as it is invidiously called, is now seen as pathological.

[00:04:48] He writes, the Democrats are taking a bet that Americans are far more willing to embrace men who think they are women and men who dressed as dogs, which is what some of the people in his administration, what was his name, Sam Brinson, the guy who was stealing women's luggages at airports and was prosecuted, charged, and convicted.

[00:05:08] They held on to him for a long time before they fired him.

[00:05:10] There's another gentleman now who's kind of similar to Britain in their top echelon there in the White House that was promoted recently.

[00:05:17] And anyway, she says, Democrats bet that Americans are far more willing to embrace women and men who dress as dogs to have relations, sexual relations, than a veteran married to an Indian woman with mixed-race kids who thinks perpetuating humanity and the nation is a good thing.

[00:05:35] It is the logical end of deviancy, he writes, deviancy becoming normal.

[00:05:42] When Democrats think J.D. Vance is weird and Rachel Levine, the admiral guy in the skirt, is not, we reach a tipping point in the direction of the nation.

[00:05:50] When Kamala thinks standing next to a drag queen is normal but Vance standing next to his wife is not, we reach a tipping point in the direction of the nation.

[00:05:58] When progressives think a multiracial family and interracial adoption are weird but separating political supporters by race and gender is not, we reach a tipping point in the direction of the nation.

[00:06:11] All right, so – and he says, you know, Democrats doing name-calling to distract from the issues, grocery prices, inflation, wars all over the world, border invasion under the border czar who's running now and everything like that.

[00:06:26] All these issues, all these things are in Trump's favor but yet this is the game he's playing because they're playing and he's fighting it on that level.

[00:06:33] This is what they want to do.

[00:06:33] They know how to push his button.

[00:06:35] The button is to call them names and then he responds with names and he loses.

[00:06:39] They don't.

[00:06:40] Perfect.

[00:06:41] It's like when you and I – I had two brothers, did you?

[00:06:44] And it was like when you're playing kick the can or hide – kick the can or hide and go seek or whatever and your brother's taunting you and you take the bait and he keeps kicking your butt and winning and you keep getting more angry.

[00:06:58] Then eventually you have a temper tantrum because you're eight or you're seven or you're six or whatever.

[00:07:02] I remember those days.

[00:07:04] I never won.

[00:07:05] My brother always won.

[00:07:07] And there was about a year or two where I could whoop his butt because we were – but then he hit puberty and I forever was behind the eight ball and that was all there was at that point.

[00:07:15] Okay, so Vance, J.D. Vance with his Indian wife who he married and they have children and they're not white versus Democrats.

[00:07:30] Who seems weirder to you when you think about that?

[00:07:35] What Eric just talked about, my buddy with guys in skirts, being the admiral and guys dressed up in dog suits, having relations.

[00:07:44] The same guy was also in a gag ball literally almost 100 percent naked with straps around and the gag ball in his mouth bent over something in his social media pictures.

[00:07:54] That literally is Biden administration people, and they love that and they're proud of that.

[00:07:59] Who seems weirder to you?

[00:08:01] Vance are the Democrats who are supporting this stuff like Kamala.

[00:08:05] And what makes you think that one side is weirder than the other?

[00:08:10] Brand new news from Fox News, Bill Malujan, the Salvadoran illegal who Kamala – thanks to one of Kamala's illegals that just got in recently –

[00:08:20] is charged with fatally carjacking a grandmother in Virginia on Sunday.

[00:08:26] And she – I think she died.

[00:08:29] I think he killed her.

[00:08:31] But nonetheless, he has a valid driver license in Kamala's home state of California where I'm sure she supported this driver license for illegals, a sanctuary state.

[00:08:43] I'm sure she supports that.

[00:08:45] She wants to make America a sanctuary country, as you know.

[00:08:48] She doesn't think it should be a crime to be illegal.

[00:08:50] So there you go.

[00:08:51] Thank you, Kamala.

[00:08:52] Thank you, Joe.

[00:08:53] We appreciate that.

[00:08:53] More of that, please.

[00:08:54] Who wants to see their grandma alive, right, and living a decent life?

[00:08:59] Who doesn't want their grandmother carjacked and maybe murdered?

[00:09:03] Obviously, that's sarcasm.

[00:09:05] But for those who don't know me, it is.

[00:09:07] This is Newstalk 1110-993-WBT.

[00:09:10] Chris Kroc filling in for Pete Callender on the Pete Callender Show.

[00:09:12] He'll be back Monday.

[00:09:14] 7045-701110 is our number.

[00:09:16] We're talking about that stupid term weird and going back and forth between Trump and the Kamala campaign.

[00:09:21] It's perfect bait for Trump.

[00:09:22] He took it, and now he's going back at them with weird stuff.

[00:09:25] That's how you lose, and that's what he's doing.

[00:09:27] And we're not doing a good job no matter what the polls say.

[00:09:30] We're going to lose the way this is going.

[00:09:33] Anyway, so Vance versus the Democrats.

[00:09:36] Who seems weirder to you?

[00:09:38] When you talk about one guy who's in an interracial marriage with a woman and children, and I guess he adopted some.

[00:09:47] And is that weird?

[00:09:48] Or instead men dressed as dogs to have relations or in gag balls and half naked, bent over.

[00:09:55] Sorry, but this is the Sam Britton stuff.

[00:09:57] And now there's a new gentleman that is similar in nature in that realm from what I've seen in his profiles and everything in the news.

[00:10:07] So – and men who think they're women like Admiral Rachel Levine or a former Marine in an interracial marriage standing up for marriage and perpetuating humanity.

[00:10:15] Who's weirder there?

[00:10:16] And by all means, you might think that J.D. Vance is weirder.

[00:10:19] Okay?

[00:10:20] Vance versus the Democrat.

[00:10:21] Who seems weirder to you, Democrats?

[00:10:24] And what makes you think that one side is weirder than the other?

[00:10:27] Since that's the topic du jour today, unfortunately.

[00:10:31] Our number is 704-570-1110, 704-570-1110.

[00:10:34] Let's go to Michael.

[00:10:36] Michael, you are on News Talk 1110 and 99.3 WBT.

[00:10:40] Chris in for Pete.

[00:10:40] Hello.

[00:10:42] Hey, how you doing?

[00:10:43] Thanks for taking my call.

[00:10:44] My name is Michael.

[00:10:44] I'm a 20-year Navy veteran.

[00:10:46] Thank you for your service.

[00:10:47] And yesterday you were talking about how Camille's got all this stuff on her.

[00:10:52] And she does.

[00:10:53] And she's the most radical ever.

[00:10:54] And we all know that.

[00:10:55] And Judge Joe Brown says it perfectly on the stuff on TikTok.

[00:10:59] But here's the thing that you said yesterday, that we have to focus on that.

[00:11:03] But I disagree with you on that.

[00:11:05] Because Joe Biden, you know, like Social Security, he's the one that did the tax.

[00:11:09] But he's also said so many racial things.

[00:11:12] And, I mean, I've been in the Navy.

[00:11:14] Everything he's done, he's never been correct on anything.

[00:11:18] And he has said the N-word and said so much stuff.

[00:11:22] And nobody cares.

[00:11:23] And all the stuff we're talking about is all nothing but noise.

[00:11:27] Because I just don't see how Trump—now, Trump won the last time.

[00:11:31] I just don't see how Trump is going to win.

[00:11:33] No, he didn't.

[00:11:34] Because of one thing.

[00:11:35] No, he didn't win last time.

[00:11:38] Whether we believe so or not, it doesn't matter.

[00:11:40] He's not the president right now.

[00:11:41] Yeah, well, I understand that, and I'm correct.

[00:11:44] You know, you are correct about that.

[00:11:46] But the thing about it is, what have the Republicans done in the last four years that have—did the voter integrity?

[00:11:54] I mean, Ron DeSantis in Florida, his state's perfect about doing that.

[00:11:58] But until we do that—

[00:12:00] Right.

[00:12:00] You're definitely correct.

[00:12:02] I agree.

[00:12:03] France, and we're going to get into this either today or tomorrow on Pete's show here.

[00:12:08] France and Britain have same-day voting, paper ballots, and there's almost no exceptions to early voting.

[00:12:14] It's strict.

[00:12:15] And they don't have any problems.

[00:12:17] You find out who's elected the next morning, and that's it.

[00:12:20] And we don't have that, and we are so rife to be hacked by the Chinese, the Russians, the Iranian, whoever, or some punk.

[00:12:28] So there we are.

[00:12:29] And I agree with you on that 110%.

[00:12:31] Thank you for your call.

[00:12:31] Dan, you, my friend—looks like you agree with me.

[00:12:35] You are on News Talk 1110 and 993 WBT.

[00:12:38] Chris in for Pete.

[00:12:39] Hello, sir.

[00:12:39] Hi, Dan.

[00:12:40] Hey.

[00:12:41] How are you today?

[00:12:42] Good.

[00:12:42] Thank you.

[00:12:43] Good.

[00:12:44] Yeah, I'm a little mad that Trump would do something like this.

[00:12:48] I mean, he knows the game.

[00:12:50] He does it every time.

[00:12:51] And by now, he should be just focusing on the policies.

[00:12:55] And it just aggravates me that we're going to potentially lose an election because he can't act like a president.

[00:13:01] To a woman who has no business being elected.

[00:13:05] She didn't even get a vote.

[00:13:07] Yep.

[00:13:07] I mean, she has not been able to prove herself in any regard.

[00:13:11] And it's extremely frustrating that we could potentially be under the rule of—

[00:13:17] This is a layup, my friend, isn't it?

[00:13:18] This is a freaking layup.

[00:13:20] It's like being—you know, somebody tossing up the badminton thing for you.

[00:13:22] You're cranked back, and you've got to waylay that thing over the net.

[00:13:27] Yeah.

[00:13:28] Yeah.

[00:13:28] Like, I don't care about her husband.

[00:13:30] I could care less about her husband.

[00:13:33] Focus on the fact that my wallet is a lot lighter because of her and Biden's policy.

[00:13:38] And wars are going on all over the world because of Joe Biden and Kamala.

[00:13:43] She said Afghanistan.

[00:13:44] I think she said it was in the room, and it was great or perfect or something like that.

[00:13:49] I mean, what—have you talked about—no!

[00:13:51] We're talking about weird!

[00:13:52] Why?

[00:13:53] Because they told me to say weird.

[00:13:54] I'm a dog.

[00:13:55] They say squirrel, and I go over there.

[00:13:57] I want to lose.

[00:13:58] Right.

[00:13:59] Yeah.

[00:14:00] It aggravates me because you're a smart man.

[00:14:03] Please.

[00:14:04] Act like a president.

[00:14:05] I beg you.

[00:14:07] Yeah.

[00:14:08] I beg him, too.

[00:14:08] That's why I'm saying this.

[00:14:10] And I get super passionate about it because it's just right in front of us.

[00:14:14] And, you know, and the people—there was a nice lady who called me earlier, and she was upset with me.

[00:14:18] Like, what are you doing saying we're going to lose?

[00:14:20] What do you want me to do?

[00:14:21] Pretend we're not going to lose, and we lose?

[00:14:22] And you get mad and say it was all cheating?

[00:14:24] You know?

[00:14:25] Go ahead.

[00:14:25] What?

[00:14:26] But she's telling them.

[00:14:27] You know, a lot of—

[00:14:29] I'm not trying to be rude to her, but yeah, yeah.

[00:14:31] It's tone deaf.

[00:14:31] How about you say if?

[00:14:33] That way, yeah.

[00:14:33] People are being tone deaf.

[00:14:34] Yeah.

[00:14:36] Yes, because, I mean, just like they blindly followed Barack—and by the way, when they say Barack Hussein, I just—

[00:14:42] Mr. Hussein Obama.

[00:14:44] Call him former President Hussein Obama.

[00:14:46] Go ahead.

[00:14:47] And Mrs. Hussein Obama.

[00:14:49] Go ahead, please.

[00:14:50] So, you know what I mean.

[00:14:51] It's just frustrating for me because I just want to—

[00:14:53] You're saying it bothers you because it's a distraction?

[00:14:56] Yes.

[00:14:57] Yes.

[00:14:57] If I'm a talk show host doing it to be funny or silly or stupid, that's different.

[00:15:03] I'm not running for office.

[00:15:04] And when Sid Rosenberg, who's Jewish, who said that, he can say whatever he wants.

[00:15:09] He's not running for president and he's Jewish.

[00:15:10] It doesn't matter.

[00:15:11] But you don't react to that.

[00:15:12] You just don't say anything.

[00:15:14] Or you say, I'd rather talk about the issues than not her or her husband.

[00:15:17] I don't care about that.

[00:15:19] Yeah.

[00:15:19] Focus on the economy.

[00:15:20] I mean, that's what people care about.

[00:15:22] But when somebody threw a ball out in the yard, you've got to chase it because you don't want to win.

[00:15:28] You're too busy chasing the ball.

[00:15:30] And there you go.

[00:15:31] The victory is right over there in front of you.

[00:15:33] You can touch it.

[00:15:33] It's not even—you don't have to reach for it.

[00:15:35] It's right there.

[00:15:35] But don't do that.

[00:15:36] Go for the squirrel.

[00:15:38] There you go.

[00:15:39] And the worst part is he's making the independents go in her direction.

[00:15:43] Yes!

[00:15:43] Or stay at home.

[00:15:44] Yes.

[00:15:45] Yes.

[00:15:46] Yes.

[00:15:46] Appreciate your call, Dan.

[00:15:49] J.D. Vance versus the Democrats.

[00:15:51] You know, guys in skirts and men as dressed up as dogs for relations.

[00:15:57] And, you know, they say that a guy who's married to an Indian-American woman with children of color for children who adopted them, I guess, or had them.

[00:16:07] I'm not sure which, but my buddy Eric Erickson writing about that today.

[00:16:11] And who seems weirder to you?

[00:16:13] And what makes you think that one side is weirder than the other?

[00:16:15] And, by the way, Trump even getting into the weird game is just horrible.

[00:16:18] Unfortunately, we're seeing the same thing at the NAVJ National Association of Black Journalists.

[00:16:23] It was no friend of Trump's.

[00:16:24] But nonetheless, he went there.

[00:16:26] And you're going to hear some stuff I'm going to play for you in a minute.

[00:16:29] And it's very entertaining, but I think it's very bad.

[00:16:31] I mean, he's burying himself more and more.

[00:16:35] Producer John and I were just listening to it, and he's like, yeah, just hand him a shovel.

[00:16:39] He just keeps digging.

[00:16:40] Julian Michaels says the Olympics opening ceremony.

[00:16:43] She's the fitness guru who left California because it was too radical for her.

[00:16:48] Lesbian woman with multiracial children she's adopted.

[00:16:51] She attacked the Olympics for the opening ceremony.

[00:16:54] She says, we demand tolerance and respect, but they make a mockery of something sacred for over 2 billion Christians.

[00:16:59] This type of hypocrisy and lack of understanding is a bad look.

[00:17:02] We get outraged when the extreme right bashes us, but then we do this S word.

[00:17:07] What kind of reaction do you think they will have towards the LGBTQ community after this?

[00:17:11] This is not how we break down barriers.

[00:17:13] It's how you build them.

[00:17:15] There's a history for the gay community feeling that religious communities have issues with gay marriage.

[00:17:19] As you know, gay marriage comes with 1,100-plus federal rights.

[00:17:24] I completely understand if it's not your religion and you don't want to have gay marriages in your church or in your temple or your mosque.

[00:17:30] But anyways, she goes on and on and on, but she's ripping them.

[00:17:32] And she's right.

[00:17:34] Now, here's Trump.

[00:17:34] Before we go to, we got Paul and Sean who've called in, plus your call, 704-570-1110.

[00:17:40] But I wanted to play this cut.

[00:17:42] We're going to play another one in just a bit.

[00:17:44] This is quite entertaining, but it is just not good for us.

[00:17:49] Listen to this.

[00:17:50] And we'll move on to other questions here.

[00:17:52] Some of your own supporters, including Republicans on Capitol Hill, have labeled Vice President Kamala Harris, who was the first black and Asian-American woman to serve as vice president and be on a major party ticket, as a DEI hire.

[00:18:05] Is that acceptable language to you?

[00:18:07] And will you tell those Republicans and those supporters to stop it?

[00:18:11] How do you define DEI?

[00:18:14] Go ahead.

[00:18:14] How do you define it?

[00:18:15] Diversity, equity, inclusion.

[00:18:16] Okay, yeah.

[00:18:17] Go ahead.

[00:18:18] Is that what your definition?

[00:18:19] That is literally the words.

[00:18:20] Give me a definition then.

[00:18:21] Would you give me a definition of that?

[00:18:23] Give me a definition of that.

[00:18:24] Sir, I'm asking you a question.

[00:18:25] You have to define it.

[00:18:27] Define it for me, if you would.

[00:18:28] I just defined it, sir.

[00:18:29] Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she is a black woman?

[00:18:33] Well, I can say no.

[00:18:34] I think it's maybe a little bit different.

[00:18:37] So I've known her a long time indirectly, not directly very much.

[00:18:42] And she was always of Indian heritage.

[00:18:45] And she was only promoting Indian heritage.

[00:18:49] I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black.

[00:18:53] And now she wants to be known as black.

[00:18:55] So I don't know.

[00:18:56] Is she Indian or is she black?

[00:18:58] She is always identified as a black woman.

[00:18:59] I respect either one.

[00:19:01] I respect either one.

[00:19:02] But she obviously doesn't.

[00:19:04] Because she was Indian all the way.

[00:19:06] And then all of a sudden she made a turn.

[00:19:07] And she went, she became a black person.

[00:19:10] Just to be clear, sir, do you believe that she is a...

[00:19:12] I think somebody should look into that too when you ask.

[00:19:15] Continue in a very hostile, nasty town.

[00:19:17] Oh, boy.

[00:19:19] I mean, it's very entertaining.

[00:19:20] But we are losing.

[00:19:22] That will play on and on for days and weeks.

[00:19:24] She'll go on the air.

[00:19:25] She's an ABC News person, I guess.

[00:19:26] And she'll say how racist and horrible and how personally offensive it was.

[00:19:30] This is terrible.

[00:19:32] If he was already president, it'd be very entertaining.

[00:19:35] I wouldn't really have a problem.

[00:19:36] I'd be like laughing or like, holy crap, whatever.

[00:19:38] But this is different.

[00:19:39] Okay, Paul, you're on.

[00:19:41] We got one more we're going to play.

[00:19:42] This is crazy stuff, man.

[00:19:44] It's not good if we want to win an election.

[00:19:47] Paul, you are on News Talk 1110-993-WBT.

[00:19:50] Chris, in for Pete.

[00:19:52] Hey, thanks so much for taking my call.

[00:19:54] I really appreciate it.

[00:19:55] And I think you're scoring a lot of points with me here.

[00:20:00] You know, I love Trump and his policies.

[00:20:02] But he's got to stop talking sometimes.

[00:20:05] And I think he's got to take a lot of lessons from Ronald Reagan.

[00:20:08] Because people would ask Reagan something, and he could smack them down with dignity and

[00:20:13] tact.

[00:20:13] And then you still want to give him a hug when you were done.

[00:20:16] It was incredible.

[00:20:17] And I think that Trump could learn a lot from that kind of style.

[00:20:21] Like in the clip you just played, if somebody's asking about a DEI inclusion, why would he

[00:20:25] just say, I don't care?

[00:20:26] Let's talk about why millions of people are flooding the border.

[00:20:29] But no, no.

[00:20:30] She threw the ball out there, and he took it.

[00:20:32] Yeah, exactly.

[00:20:34] Exactly.

[00:20:34] And I think that he could be a lot smarter.

[00:20:37] And I love J.D. Vance.

[00:20:38] This is bad.

[00:20:39] This is like questioning Barack Obama whether he's black.

[00:20:42] Dude, what are you doing?

[00:20:42] Just move on.

[00:20:43] Go ahead.

[00:20:44] Just move on.

[00:20:44] Who cares?

[00:20:45] Yeah.

[00:20:45] And I love J.D. Vance, but I don't think he was the right pick for vice president.

[00:20:49] Right.

[00:20:49] I totally agree.

[00:20:51] 100%.

[00:20:51] 100%.

[00:20:52] Yep.

[00:20:53] And if it was me, I would have taken Tim Scott because I just think he's wonderful.

[00:20:58] And I think that he would have balanced Trump's personality perfectly.

[00:21:02] Yep.

[00:21:03] And by the way, he's not going to win, nor should he be the president.

[00:21:06] He's just – he doesn't fight for himself enough.

[00:21:08] But he's perfect for vice.

[00:21:10] Appreciate your call, my friend.

[00:21:11] Sean, you are on News Talk 1110 and 993 WBT.

[00:21:15] Oh, oh, oh.

[00:21:16] Hey, play that shit you just did again with Donald Trump.

[00:21:20] Please play that again.

[00:21:22] He can't even put his sentence together.

[00:21:24] They ask himself if he – oh, I like her.

[00:21:26] Oh, I know anything about her.

[00:21:27] She used her in the end.

[00:21:29] Dude, you want us to – you want that guy who can't put a sentence together to give an answer

[00:21:33] and he's supposed to run the president of the United States?

[00:21:36] Dude.

[00:21:36] That's not my point.

[00:21:37] That's so funny.

[00:21:38] But listen, if you – listen.

[00:21:39] Go ahead.

[00:21:40] I think a much more stronger argument would be what are you – like what are you doing?

[00:21:44] He could finish sentences.

[00:21:46] That's not the issue.

[00:21:47] The issue is what he was saying in there.

[00:21:49] He should have just – he should have gave his definition of it.

[00:21:52] If he knew what it was, everybody knew what it was.

[00:21:54] He should have gave it.

[00:21:54] But my point is, just like you said, y'all saying Kamala can't run the country.

[00:21:59] She don't know what she's doing.

[00:22:01] My thing is, when he was in office, he didn't have no experience.

[00:22:05] All his cabinet members left.

[00:22:07] He hired the secretary of state.

[00:22:09] He left.

[00:22:10] The five-star general, he got out.

[00:22:12] He left.

[00:22:12] Y'all talking about –

[00:22:13] Do you know what percentage – hold on, sir.

[00:22:15] Do you know what percentage of Kamala's staff has left since she's been vice president?

[00:22:18] Take a guess what the percentage is that has left.

[00:22:21] Listen.

[00:22:22] Yo, you brought up leaving.

[00:22:24] What's the percentage of Kamala's staff that's left in the first three and a half years?

[00:22:28] I'd like to talk –

[00:22:29] Take a guess.

[00:22:30] Take a guess what it is.

[00:22:31] I'll tell you what it is.

[00:22:32] I have it.

[00:22:32] I'll tell you opposite.

[00:22:35] No, it's way higher than that.

[00:22:38] 92% of her staff, mostly female and mostly black, have left her office.

[00:22:44] 92%.

[00:22:44] That is way more than Trump's.

[00:22:47] 92% more than 9 out of 10, brother.

[00:22:49] Go ahead with the next point.

[00:22:51] She got a second chance.

[00:22:54] So let me ask you –

[00:22:54] She's never had one chance.

[00:22:56] She never got a vote.

[00:22:59] Everybody had a chance to change.

[00:23:01] No, no, no.

[00:23:03] Yeah, they did.

[00:23:03] They voted for Joe.

[00:23:04] Nobody changed it.

[00:23:05] But the rich people voted her – put her in without a vote.

[00:23:08] So that's what it is.

[00:23:09] But you're excited about it, it sounds like.

[00:23:11] You can spin the way you want to spin it.

[00:23:13] The average American people, y'all can spin that –

[00:23:16] Well, who put her in there?

[00:23:17] Sir, who installed her as the president since she's not the president?

[00:23:22] Let me explain to you.

[00:23:23] She didn't get a vote, dude.

[00:23:25] Go ahead.

[00:23:26] Can I talk?

[00:23:27] Yeah.

[00:23:27] Are you going to let me talk?

[00:23:28] It's your show, but can somebody explain?

[00:23:30] No, go.

[00:23:31] You want nobody?

[00:23:32] Okay.

[00:23:32] Go.

[00:23:34] Go.

[00:23:36] Everybody had no objection for it.

[00:23:38] If they do have objections, we got a convention.

[00:23:40] That's what it is.

[00:23:42] Yes.

[00:23:42] Yes.

[00:23:42] You need to worry about – you need to worry about this guy asking a question or somebody

[00:23:46] asking something.

[00:23:47] That's what y'all need to worry about.

[00:23:49] And run that bit again because that's so funny.

[00:23:51] No, because I just – you know, you didn't even know it existed until I played it.

[00:23:56] You're amused?

[00:23:57] That's okay.

[00:23:57] I got to roll.

[00:23:58] Thank you.

[00:24:00] I'm going to play some of this one and another one real quick, and then we'll go to Karen

[00:24:03] plus your call.

[00:24:05] I'm really – he's in the lion's den with the NABJ who – their members, many – most

[00:24:10] of them don't like Trump at all.

[00:24:12] But he went there, and Kamala, I guess, is doing a Zoom and not doing it in person, and

[00:24:17] he made that point too.

[00:24:18] But listen, here's a little bit of this just happening now.

[00:24:21] It's not true.

[00:24:22] You have told four Congresswomen women of color who were American citizens to go back

[00:24:26] to where they came from.

[00:24:27] You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys.

[00:24:32] You've attacked black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that they

[00:24:36] ask are, quote, stupid and racist.

[00:24:39] You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mar-a-Lago resort.

[00:24:43] So my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you, why should

[00:24:49] black voters trust you after you have used language like that?

[00:24:54] Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been asked a question so – in such a horrible

[00:25:00] manner, a first question.

[00:25:02] You don't even say, hello, how are you?

[00:25:05] Are you with ABC?

[00:25:06] Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network.

[00:25:12] That's fun.

[00:25:13] And then here's some more.

[00:25:14] This is really –

[00:25:15] At this point, he has a lot of opinions about childless women like myself or divorced people

[00:25:22] like yourself.

[00:25:23] Do you think – well, I mean, my point is here –

[00:25:27] But at least it was said in a friendly manner.

[00:25:29] My point is –

[00:25:32] Do you think the party – the Republican Party is getting a little bit too judgmental?

[00:25:36] Anyway, that's how you win.

[00:25:38] He's got them laughing.

[00:25:39] He's done some things where it's getting a shovel and taking a deeper grave for himself.

[00:25:44] So they're going to just play the bad parts, and they're going to eat them apart now for

[00:25:48] several more days.

[00:25:50] I just – you know, half of it's great.

[00:25:52] The other half is bad, and they're only going to play the bad.

[00:25:55] Karen, you are on News Talk 1110 and 993 WBT.

[00:25:58] Chris in for Pete on the Pete Collins Show.

[00:26:01] Hello.

[00:26:02] Hi.

[00:26:02] How you doing?

[00:26:03] Good.

[00:26:03] How are you?

[00:26:05] Okay.

[00:26:06] I wanted to make a comment about – I was listening to the tape about when she asked him about

[00:26:12] DEI, about what he thought about it or whatever, and if that was how Kamala got picked or whatever.

[00:26:18] Well, we know it was because Biden himself said, I'm going to pick a black woman.

[00:26:25] Yes.

[00:26:25] So to me, that's completely racist to even say that.

[00:26:28] So what you're saying is all the white males out there, all the white females out there,

[00:26:32] they don't have a choice because he's going to pick a black woman.

[00:26:36] Right.

[00:26:36] I mean, she needs to ask Biden that.

[00:26:39] You know?

[00:26:40] Yes, yes.

[00:26:40] But also, it's very offensive to call somebody a DEI hire.

[00:26:46] The fact of it is it's true, but you don't call that to somebody.

[00:26:51] Those two Republicans that did that, I cringed when they said that.

[00:26:53] And I was doing my normal show the other day when that happened, and it came up, and I said,

[00:27:02] this is so stupid because it's offensive because there's other people that get jobs as black people,

[00:27:10] and they're professional, and they're not DEI hires, and they're offended when you say that.

[00:27:15] That goes personal.

[00:27:16] Not politically correct, but just personal.

[00:27:18] And I had a black woman call up who literally said, that's exactly how I feel.

[00:27:22] It's exactly right, and she's voting for Trump.

[00:27:24] And he didn't call her a DEI, no, any of you a DEI.

[00:27:27] It was two Republicans, not him, and he didn't agree with it.

[00:27:29] But I think the term using that is a bad move.

[00:27:35] Is that fair to say?

[00:27:36] You're calling somebody that specifically?

[00:27:38] I mean, yeah, because what you're telling the person is that you don't really qualify,

[00:27:42] but because we've got to check this box, we're going to hire you anyway.

[00:27:45] Right. Hi, black person. You're not qualified.

[00:27:48] Right? Hi, black person. You're not qualified.

[00:27:50] Whoa!

[00:27:53] It's hurtful.

[00:27:54] That's what these policies do, though.

[00:27:56] It's demeaning, you know, and I think it's merit.

[00:28:00] So go ahead with your thought, though.

[00:28:01] I don't know if I rushed you too much there.

[00:28:04] You know, I mean, I completely understand why someone would feel that way.

[00:28:07] Like I said, you know, it shouldn't have anything to do with colors, race, whatever you feel, or anything.

[00:28:14] It just should be because you qualify, and that's how you get it.

[00:28:18] They're the ones who look bad playing the game and saying this stuff, but you have to handle it the right way.

[00:28:23] And he didn't handle it there well when he got into it.

[00:28:26] No, he didn't.

[00:28:27] And that's going to play.

[00:28:29] He just needs to step back and just be the nice guy this time and let Vance get back.

[00:28:35] He's not.

[00:28:35] He's not.

[00:28:36] He's already lost that feeling, not that loving feeling, but he's already lost that feeling.

[00:28:41] I know.

[00:28:42] We just got to pray that he'll get a little bit of it back, you know.

[00:28:45] And this is how we're either going to—

[00:28:46] That's his biggest downfall.

[00:28:48] But, I mean, really—

[00:28:49] Yeah.

[00:28:49] —the biggest question is, are you better off now?

[00:28:52] Yes.

[00:28:53] Or when Trump left?

[00:28:55] And he didn't do that.

[00:28:56] Because where are your finances?

[00:28:59] That's right.

[00:29:00] Your housing costs have gone up.

[00:29:02] Gas has gone up.

[00:29:04] Everything's gone up.

[00:29:05] Interest rates on credit cards that people are having to live on now have gone up.

[00:29:08] Yep.

[00:29:09] I mean, it's just a horrible, horrible thing what's happened to our country.

[00:29:13] I mean, personality isn't a problem, but he has the ability.

[00:29:18] And that's—

[00:29:18] That's what kills me.

[00:29:21] That's what kills me because he's an amazing president, an amazing man, an amazing leader.

[00:29:25] But he just can't control himself.

[00:29:28] And this is all they have to do for 90 days.

[00:29:31] And it overshadows everything.

[00:29:32] I got to roll, but you were a great caller, and I appreciate you very much, Karen.

[00:29:35] Okay?

[00:29:36] Oh, you're welcome.

[00:29:37] Thank you so much, and have a blessed day.

[00:29:38] You too.

[00:29:39] And I will see you guys tomorrow.

[00:29:41] I'm privileged to be able to come back again to fill in for Pete.

[00:29:45] He'll be back Monday.

[00:29:46] All right.

[00:29:47] That'll do it for this episode.

[00:29:48] Thank you so much for listening.

[00:29:50] I could not do the show without your support and the support of the businesses that advertise on the podcast.
