[00:00:28] Israel just assassinated another, another, another person in Damascus, maybe in the past 20 minutes to an hour. We're going to hit that later. And who's best to not have war break out, not only in the Middle East, but World War III possibly with China, Taiwan, and North Korea and Russia and Ukraine and Europe.

[00:00:53] I'm telling you something. This is a bad way for our country and our world to be in. And it's all because Biden let this world go catch on fire and is appeasing the people who want to kill us, dominate us, own us, subjugate us, and put us into the, under their submission.

[00:01:15] So that Iran, China and Russia and, well, North Korea has a little, as a little tiny little henchman on the side, but can, can run the world.

[00:01:26] And they're doing one heck of a job under three and a half years of a vacuum and appeasement.

[00:01:34] So we'll get to that in a little bit. But right now I want to tell you something. Every day I read my job, you know, a lot of news and I watch a lot of news, listen to such.

[00:01:46] And I also have that privilege for hours to do that every day. But also I get a feeling each day.

[00:01:54] And I learned a long time ago and with maturity and growing up in the business, you know what I'm saying?

[00:01:59] Like after 20 years or so, you start to actually get some wisdom and I've seen things, trends, patterns, whatever.

[00:02:07] And I'm telling you right now, telling you right now today.

[00:02:11] And I've also come up, come up with something that instead of me trying to be, you know, a solid this and thinking that with elections,

[00:02:18] literally every day I realized the best way for me to do what I do in discussing these kinds of issues with this election right now

[00:02:26] is to be honest with you and tell you every day when it comes up naturally, what I feel like there's a meter, right?

[00:02:34] The meter, it's like looking at a, you know, the little meter that goes up and down when you're watching, you know, the music or volume or whatever.

[00:02:41] And it goes up and down.

[00:02:43] And the meter today or, you know, like a meter you'd see on like the political truth meter, you know, false, you know, in the middle.

[00:02:54] Okay, so today that meter is pathetically, we are in a bad way about our chances of winning this election.

[00:03:04] I'm telling you right as far, when I say we, I'm talking about, I'm a Trump guy.

[00:03:08] I know that you may not be.

[00:03:09] Sorry, I always say we because I'm like, well, me and whoever's in that camp.

[00:03:13] All right, so don't misunderstand me.

[00:03:15] But my point is we are in a bad way if you're a Trump voter, if you're a Republican.

[00:03:20] Bad way today.

[00:03:21] I'm telling you something.

[00:03:22] Every mistake that we can make, that Trump can make is happening.

[00:03:27] And it's only because of his words and his decisions.

[00:03:33] And this freaking woman, who was our vice president, who literally has the most anti-American liberal policies about immigration, health care, guns, electric vehicles, energy production in America.

[00:03:57] America.

[00:04:00] And there's so many more.

[00:04:01] Health care I already mentioned.

[00:04:03] The list goes on and on and on.

[00:04:05] But things that will destroy this country.

[00:04:07] And she openly has said this.

[00:04:09] The woman who was more liberal than Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, the most liberal person in the Senate for one year in 2019.

[00:04:15] And number two, after that, 2020 was the second most liberal after Bernie Sanders, more so than Elizabeth Warren, who wants to give the 12 million to 14 million illegals that have invaded us under Kamala being the border czar and Joe Biden.

[00:04:29] She wants to give them all amnesty and citizenship and free health care that we pay for.

[00:04:35] And she wants you, even if you're a plumber or a janitor, to pay for an upper middle class or higher person's college that they can afford to pay off.

[00:04:47] But you're going to pay it.

[00:04:47] And you ain't going to get a, you know what, a darn thing for your plumbing business or your truck, if you're a truck and a truck working your way up with an HVAC business.

[00:04:56] You ain't getting nothing.

[00:04:57] You're going to pay for somebody who makes $150,000, $125,000, $175,000 or combined income with a woman or a man, you know, their husband or whatever, or their partner, if you will.

[00:05:08] They're making between $150,000 and $250,000 a year, maybe even more.

[00:05:12] And you're going to pay for their education that they are paying off that they can afford to pay off.

[00:05:17] And they just did another $1.7 billion.

[00:05:19] But this woman's going to win.

[00:05:21] And why I say that is for a few reasons.

[00:05:24] A few reasons.

[00:05:25] Now, there's some good news that came in.

[00:05:27] And by the way, tomorrow I think she's going to lose.

[00:05:29] But every day I get these feelings and these facts.

[00:05:32] And I gather them.

[00:05:34] Okay, Nate Silver, the supposedly revered pollster, came out with a poll that says Trump has a 61% chance of winning.

[00:05:41] Kamala has a 38%.

[00:05:42] All right?

[00:05:43] The model last month had Trump at 66 to 34, you know, Trump over Biden.

[00:05:50] So what happened was it's now five points up for Kamala.

[00:05:53] Doesn't mean she's going to win.

[00:05:54] And he's still, you know, 61 to 38.

[00:05:58] But she went up five and he went down five, roughly.

[00:06:01] He said in this poll, he's a liberal Democrat.

[00:06:04] He said Harris will give the Democrats a fighting chance.

[00:06:07] She's a slight favor over Trump for the popular vote.

[00:06:09] But that means nothing.

[00:06:10] Every Democrat has won every popular vote for the past 24 years, including 2000.

[00:06:14] But many of them lost, like Hillary.

[00:06:18] Doesn't mean anything in that regard.

[00:06:20] They've won in all – actually, they've won in all but one election.

[00:06:24] Oh, my gosh.

[00:06:24] They've won – they always won the popular vote except for 2000.

[00:06:27] So there you go.

[00:06:28] Hillary won it and she still lost.

[00:06:29] That's my point.

[00:06:30] And so it doesn't mean they're going to win at all.

[00:06:34] I think Babylon Beast sums it up best.

[00:06:38] They had one of their headlines.

[00:06:39] It's so perfect today.

[00:06:40] Google search confirms Kamala Harris did not exist prior to July 22, 2024.

[00:06:45] None of her records were real.

[00:06:46] It's all fake.

[00:06:47] Joe Rogan coming out.

[00:06:49] This was another little layup for Kamala.

[00:06:52] He said today he doesn't support her per se.

[00:06:54] He says he predicts she's going to win in November, arguing voters just don't want Trump in office again.

[00:07:00] He says she's going to win.

[00:07:01] I feel like we're in this very bizarre time where people are giving in to the BS in a way that I've never suspected before that they would before.

[00:07:10] He says in a way I would never suspect people would before.

[00:07:13] They just want no Trump no matter what.

[00:07:15] They're willing to gaslight themselves.

[00:07:17] And by the way, I think Hillary could win.

[00:07:20] And so my reaction to that is I believe that.

[00:07:24] People literally tickle my ears, whisper things into my ear, and I will believe it.

[00:07:30] And I know you're a liar.

[00:07:31] And she literally, all of her positions, she literally is saying the opposite today, which means she has no character.

[00:07:37] The woman has no character.

[00:07:39] Everything she stands for, she is now forsaking.

[00:07:43] No character.

[00:07:44] Just give me power.

[00:07:45] What does that mean?

[00:07:46] That means the people of this country, many of them, and you have to understand this, don't use your glasses on that I have and you have.

[00:07:53] Take them off.

[00:07:54] The people of this country will put somebody in office who will destroy their way of life in their country in order to get Trump out of office.

[00:08:03] He also said, remember, you would have thought Trump getting shot four years ago.

[00:08:07] Corporate journalist, you would think, would be talking about hate speech causing violence to be like, hey, let's take a step back.

[00:08:13] That went for, what, a week?

[00:08:14] He says it's gone.

[00:08:15] That went for a week and now it's gone.

[00:08:17] Everybody forever was like Kamala is the worst vice president.

[00:08:20] By the way, in February of this year, five months ago, everybody in the media was saying, get her off the ticket.

[00:08:26] She's a disaster.

[00:08:27] She's hurting Joe.

[00:08:28] She cannot be the president.

[00:08:29] Now she's a second coming.

[00:08:32] And I think the people of this country that will put in whoever's the next president, whoever the majority of them is, not the college vote, you know, the electoral college vote, not the popular vote.

[00:08:42] I'm telling you something.

[00:08:43] They will destroy this country.

[00:08:45] They will hurt themselves economically.

[00:08:46] Their checkbooks, their cars, their houses, they will, they are going to do this to themselves.

[00:08:53] We will no longer be energy independent.

[00:08:55] We will continue to be dominated on the world stage.

[00:08:57] We will continue to go down more and more notches with our dominancy.

[00:09:00] They will hurt themselves to get this guy out of office.

[00:09:02] I feel that today.

[00:09:04] They will be lied to.

[00:09:05] And that means we have a fallen people.

[00:09:07] We have a fallen state.

[00:09:09] We have a fallen country.

[00:09:10] I hope that's not true.

[00:09:11] But I'm telling you, that's my feeling today.

[00:09:14] Lie to me.

[00:09:15] Tickle my ear.

[00:09:16] They don't care if their economic situation will get more and more dire and their gasoline prices will go up more and they'll be forced to buy EVs.

[00:09:24] And illegal aliens will become citizens and more illegal aliens will invade million after million.

[00:09:30] Replacing the American citizens and their votes.

[00:09:33] And illegal immigrants getting free health care.

[00:09:36] And then all of us having single-payer government-funded health care and no private insurance.

[00:09:42] If we like our insurance or our employer insurance, we will not be able to keep it.

[00:09:46] It's all going into one.

[00:09:49] And you will be forced to sell your guns back to the government at the end of a barrel of a gun, whether you like your guns or not.

[00:09:55] If you're in a difficult part of the city and you want to protect yourself for whatever your reasons.

[00:09:59] It's one of our constitutional amendments.

[00:10:02] And then also, I mean, so many things.

[00:10:06] You will cease drilling offshore and stop fracking.

[00:10:11] This is all what Kamala has said.

[00:10:13] Oh, ICE is going to be abolished.

[00:10:16] So, and no illegal will be criminal anymore.

[00:10:18] It'll be, that'll be wiped out.

[00:10:20] Okay.

[00:10:23] And even though right now the polls look good slightly, with the latest, one of the latest polls, Harvard Harris came in, 52 Trump over 48 Harris.

[00:10:32] And with leans, people who are leaning a certain way, in general, the regular polling is he's up by three.

[00:10:40] And then if RFK Jr. and others go in there, he's up by four still.

[00:10:45] But that doesn't mean anything because we have, what, 90 or 88 days.

[00:10:51] Hey, people in Pennsylvania are going to start voting in like, I think, 40 days or 45 days or 38 days.

[00:11:00] So, and Kamala is hiding.

[00:11:02] And her position, she's totally flip-flopping everything, which means she has no character, but it doesn't matter.

[00:11:06] Joe Rogan's right.

[00:11:07] He thinks people hate Trump so much they're going to vote for Kamala.

[00:11:11] And, oh, you'll get the 48% that Trump always gets, but you will lose.

[00:11:14] And I'm voting for him.

[00:11:15] I always have and always will.

[00:11:17] But you have to understand something.

[00:11:18] Discipline and focus and messaging sucks.

[00:11:22] This is how we lose.

[00:11:24] Trump responded to the weird stuff, which is stupid.

[00:11:27] Now he's accused of saying that Kamala's husband is a bad Jew.

[00:11:31] He doesn't like Jewish people.

[00:11:33] She doesn't like Jewish people.

[00:11:37] Bertie, or excuse me, Sid Rosenberg, WABC New York.

[00:11:41] I have nothing but respect for him, but he's Jewish.

[00:11:45] He can say stuff.

[00:11:46] Trump is not.

[00:11:46] And he's running for the president.

[00:11:47] People hate him.

[00:11:48] You can see the disdain, Trump said of Harris.

[00:11:50] I guess this was yesterday on an interview.

[00:11:52] He said about her for Jews.

[00:11:57] Number one, she doesn't like Israel.

[00:11:59] Number two, she doesn't like Jewish people.

[00:12:00] And, you know, I know it, and everyone knows it, and nobody wants to say it.

[00:12:04] Yeah, but, dude, just because it's real or true, perhaps, doesn't mean you should say it.

[00:12:08] What does that give Harris?

[00:12:10] Thank you.

[00:12:11] I don't have to explain my failures and my flip-flops on the border.

[00:12:14] Yes, now I can make it about you insulting Jewish people.

[00:12:18] Win, win, win, win, win.

[00:12:20] If you keep doing this, I will win.

[00:12:22] You will lose.

[00:12:23] Hide the issues.

[00:12:25] Hide my flip-flops.

[00:12:26] Just let's talk about Jews and how bad you are, Trump.

[00:12:30] Sid Rosenberg brought up Doug Emhoff, whatever he is, the vice president's husband.

[00:12:36] He's a Jewish.

[00:12:37] He's Jewish like Bernie Sanders is Jewish, Sid Rosenberg said.

[00:12:40] Are you kidding me?

[00:12:41] And then Trump said, yeah.

[00:12:42] He's a crappy Jew.

[00:12:44] You said Rosenberg.

[00:12:45] Yeah, said Trump again.

[00:12:46] Rosenberg added without explanation.

[00:12:47] He's a horrible Jew.

[00:12:48] That's fine.

[00:12:49] He's Jewish.

[00:12:50] You can do whatever you want with that.

[00:12:51] You're not running for president.

[00:12:52] The remarks drew immediate response from Harris.

[00:12:54] Save the day.

[00:12:55] Another day where Trump looks bad in the news cycle, by the way, guys.

[00:12:59] America is better than fear, hate, and despicable insults of Donald Trump, said her spokesperson.

[00:13:03] Vice President Harris believes Americans want a president who unites our country instead of divides it,

[00:13:07] uses the power of presidency to help families instead of hurt them,

[00:13:09] and has vision for the future instead of taking us backward.

[00:13:12] And guess what?

[00:13:13] That's all that matters.

[00:13:14] Nobody cares about the border invasion anymore.

[00:13:16] Nobody cares about all the stuff I told you about.

[00:13:18] That's all that matters.

[00:13:19] We lose.

[00:13:23] Jerry, you are an Uber driver driving about town.

[00:13:28] You are on News Talk 1110 and 993 WBT.

[00:13:31] Hello.

[00:13:32] Hello.

[00:13:32] How are you?

[00:13:33] I love your show so far.

[00:13:35] Thank you.

[00:13:35] I do, too.

[00:13:36] I am a—

[00:13:37] Thank you.

[00:13:38] That's a joke.

[00:13:39] Anyway, I am an Uber driver, and I've been picking up people.

[00:13:44] And last night, I picked up a wealthy—because I know where he lives—criminal defense attorney who says he's got still,

[00:13:53] you know, almost $150,000 in debt for going to law school, and he's going to vote for Kamala because he's going to get his debt wiped out,

[00:14:02] and I'm going to have to pay for it.

[00:14:04] Yeah, listen to me, Jerry.

[00:14:05] I don't make that much money driving an Uber.

[00:14:06] Jerry, you need to work for Lyft on the side.

[00:14:09] You have a lot of debt to pay for.

[00:14:12] You are going to pay it off.

[00:14:14] You need to get off this phone and get to work to pay off that guy's debt.

[00:14:18] You understand me?

[00:14:19] I'm working on it.

[00:14:20] That's your job.

[00:14:22] Good.

[00:14:23] And vote for Kamala.

[00:14:24] We're almost there.

[00:14:25] We are so close.

[00:14:27] We are so close.

[00:14:28] The economy is amazing.

[00:14:29] We're almost there.

[00:14:30] If you want this finished off and the economy to go 100%, you've got to keep voting.

[00:14:33] Vote Kamala and get to work.

[00:14:37] We're almost there.

[00:14:39] Well, there is inflation's gone.

[00:14:42] Housing prices are cheap.

[00:14:43] Interest rates are low.

[00:14:45] Everything's great.

[00:14:46] We're almost there.

[00:14:47] We're so close.

[00:14:47] You just need a couple more years of this policy.

[00:14:50] It's working.

[00:14:50] Okay?

[00:14:51] Get to work.

[00:14:52] Get off my phone.

[00:14:53] You've got to get to work.

[00:14:54] You've got to pay for somebody's loan.

[00:14:55] Pay for that guy's loan.

[00:14:56] Sorry.

[00:14:57] You don't have time to work.

[00:14:58] Just go vote when you can.

[00:14:59] Vote by absentee.

[00:15:00] Vote twice.

[00:15:01] All right.

[00:15:02] Lines wide open chiming right now.

[00:15:03] We're talking about how Trump is destroying his chances.

[00:15:08] Now it's about him saying that Kamala's husband, Douglas Emhoff, is a bad Jew

[00:15:14] because it was brought up by a Jewish host in New York City, which he can do.

[00:15:18] But then Trump played along with it and took it a step further, which is fine if you're

[00:15:22] not running for president and your name isn't, or if you are, but your name isn't Trump.

[00:15:27] But that's just a, this is another thing.

[00:15:30] Every day.

[00:15:31] And you have to understand something.

[00:15:32] I'm watching the screen here on fake news CNN, as I like to call it, but they still are right.

[00:15:38] You know, broken clock is right.

[00:15:40] So sometimes they have good stuff.

[00:15:41] But usually it's, I can't, I really have trouble even watching it pretty much ever.

[00:15:45] But it said that Kamala, you know, grassroots, the headline said, you know, grassroots, you know,

[00:15:58] whatever, fervor or, you know, people aren't, basically they're on fire on the grassroots level.

[00:16:02] Grassroots, tremendous support surges.

[00:16:04] And they still go in door to door and these people smiling and everything like that.

[00:16:07] And I'm going to guess they're not the middle or lower middle class people.

[00:16:16] And I don't know.

[00:16:18] I told you in the last segment, I really have to, I really think people are going to,

[00:16:24] I think Joe Rogan was right when he said Kamala's going to win.

[00:16:27] And people literally will destroy their bank accounts and their freedoms to get Trump out of office.

[00:16:33] They just hate him that much.

[00:16:35] And the 48% that always vote for him, including me, will not, is never enough.

[00:16:39] It won't be.

[00:16:40] And the thing is, he has such an easy chance to beat her, but he can't control his mouth.

[00:16:44] And all they want to do is, with Kamala, is have him say stupid things, then make it all about that.

[00:16:51] And that's it, because they do not want to talk about immigration, the economy, inflation, housing prices, rent prices, insurance prices, gas prices, the grocery store prices,

[00:17:05] and how you're paid no matter how much it's been raised is not keeping up with inflation.

[00:17:10] You are, to this very moment, you are losing money as you work.

[00:17:16] You are not gaining.

[00:17:18] You are losing.

[00:17:19] The net increase in inflation and high prices and all that stuff, which is inflation, the net increase in that does not,

[00:17:28] your raises, no matter how nice they are in this country, is not enough to keep up with the inflation.

[00:17:36] 22% in one year is what insurance increased for your car and auto.

[00:17:41] Car purchases, used car purchases, good luck to anybody who has to go through getting that.

[00:17:47] You're not very liquid.

[00:17:50] And then there's the stories.

[00:17:52] And this story in the Wall Street Journal hit me today.

[00:17:58] And the title is The Haves and the Have-Nots at the Center of America's Inflation Fight.

[00:18:06] And I'm telling you something.

[00:18:08] It's amazing.

[00:18:09] And I feel this, and you feel this.

[00:18:11] Third year of America's Inflation Fight widening a split at the heart of the economy, the journal says.

[00:18:16] Stock market soaring.

[00:18:18] Household wealth is at record levels, and investment income never been greater.

[00:18:21] At the same time, some families' pandemic-era savings are running dry.

[00:18:25] Delinquencies on credit card and auto loan payments have jumped.

[00:18:27] Warning signals are flashing more and low in middle Americans, exposing a division.

[00:18:32] Got it?

[00:18:33] A division between people whose gains are being whittled down by elevated inflation and borrowing costs and those who are benefiting from the high asset prices and bond returns.

[00:18:41] And that's the story here.

[00:18:43] You have two people featured, two, three people featured that are totally making bank.

[00:18:47] I'm not mad at them.

[00:18:49] And you got the rest of us in middle class or maybe slightly higher or whatever that are not in that position.

[00:18:56] And we're hurting.

[00:18:58] And yet these people overall on whole, Rogan is right.

[00:19:03] They're going to put Kamala in because all the issues are not being addressed.

[00:19:08] They're not being defined.

[00:19:10] She, that woman, is on that screen is presidential.

[00:19:13] And it's been decided.

[00:19:15] And now the media who wanted to throw her out in February saying she was horrible, did everything you can for like a third time to get her off that ticket, is now saying she is the best thing ever.

[00:19:26] And many people are going to vote for her.

[00:19:29] Many.

[00:19:30] At their detriment.

[00:19:32] This is the most money we've ever made.

[00:19:34] And it's the brokest we've ever felt, says a mother of three who lives in Flint, Michigan area.

[00:19:40] They've had pay raises, her and her husband, that have helped.

[00:19:43] He's a city manager.

[00:19:44] Doubled their earnings to what they previously seemed unattainable.

[00:19:48] But now, with all the price hikes from groceries, auto insurance, still force them to siphon their funds from savings.

[00:19:55] 35-year-old, the 35-year-old woman now buys many basics on credit, juggling cards to protect her score without letting outstanding debt snowball.

[00:20:04] The top whatever percent has all of this money, she said.

[00:20:07] Those people don't live like most Americans.

[00:20:09] A chief economist and corporate analyst says, right now you're clearly seeing this big divergence.

[00:20:15] Welcome to the Democrat Party turning us into rich and poor, haves and have-nots.

[00:20:21] A retired, destroying the middle class, a retired pharmacist who has owned his home in Long Island and New York for decades,

[00:20:28] says because of my assets I'm actually making more money than the inflation rate is harming me.

[00:20:34] Again, I'm not mad.

[00:20:35] I'm just telling you that this is what people who have a lot more than others are doing.

[00:20:39] They're making money off of this inflation.

[00:20:41] There's no more sticker shocks, says another guy, who is a high-end personal shopping app that he created.

[00:20:47] Membership fees are $1,000 a month.

[00:20:48] He sells Rolexes, helicopters, $36,000 crocodile skin Gucci trunk on the app, for example.

[00:20:55] He's doing great.

[00:20:57] Again, I'm not begrudging this.

[00:20:58] I'm just telling you what's going on.

[00:21:01] One group that helps poor people in Brooklyn says a 456-square, one-foot bedroom was advertised at $460,000.

[00:21:08] Are you kidding me?

[00:21:09] This is not Manhattan.

[00:21:11] I've got more examples of this, but I want to ask you right now.

[00:21:14] Chime in at our number 704-5711-10.

[00:21:19] 704-5711-10.

[00:21:21] How likely is it that you may overlook your economic situation?

[00:21:25] We had a gentleman that called in yesterday.

[00:21:27] We talked for him.

[00:21:27] Wow, it was awesome to be able to pick his brain.

[00:21:30] How likely is it that you may overlook your economic situation and instead vote for Kamali,

[00:21:35] even though her and Biden's policies have taken you to the cleaners, if you will?

[00:21:41] I'm seriously asking this, and I would love to hear from you.

[00:21:46] How likely is it that you may overlook your economic situation and vote instead for Kamali,

[00:21:51] even though her and Joe Biden's policies have taken – have really hurt you, as you know.

[00:21:57] The country has been hurting for almost four years now.

[00:22:00] And how important is this issue to you, economic issue, suffering, the haves and the have-nots,

[00:22:06] growing wider, the chasm?

[00:22:08] And what is your current economic situation like in this economy?

[00:22:12] Our number is 704-5711-10, 704-5711-10.

[00:22:19] Sandy, talk to me.

[00:22:20] What do you say?

[00:22:21] How's your economic situation?

[00:22:24] Hey, Cliff, how's it going?

[00:22:26] Good, sir.

[00:22:26] How are you?

[00:22:27] I appreciate the job you're doing trying to fill in, fill those shoes of Pete's, okay?

[00:22:31] Thank you.

[00:22:33] Listen, I just want to get this off my plate right away.

[00:22:37] My pronouns are they, them, and it, and I'm a mental health counselor for Mecklenburg County,

[00:22:43] but I do live in Monroe.

[00:22:44] And we cannot let Agent Orange back in the White House at all, regardless of how much it costs to fill up your tank.

[00:22:52] I drive a Tesla, by the way.

[00:22:56] It's a hard pass for me.

[00:22:57] It's a hard pass for me.

[00:22:58] But I will say that I'm glad that Elon Musk endorsed Trump.

[00:23:04] Yeah, well, I think he's really—

[00:23:06] You're helping him.

[00:23:08] In one way, you really are funding the Trump campaign.

[00:23:10] That's okay.

[00:23:10] Go ahead.

[00:23:11] Go ahead.

[00:23:11] Go ahead.

[00:23:11] No, I'm serious.

[00:23:12] This guy makes Hitler look like Mr. Rogers.

[00:23:14] And I'll tell you right now, booming—business is a booming for me as a mental health counselor.

[00:23:19] I mean, there's TDS out there, the Trump derangement syndrome.

[00:23:22] I'm making a skill in it.

[00:23:23] Can I ask you a quick question?

[00:23:28] Has Donald Trump murdered 6 million people like Hitler did?

[00:23:33] Oh, you have no idea how many of you had to die in the deserts and the open borders, which I'm for, by the way.

[00:23:38] I think they should just keep the gate open.

[00:23:41] Okay, but I mean—

[00:23:42] So has he literally killed 6 million foreigners?

[00:23:46] Well, yeah.

[00:23:47] He cut taxes and made the rich richer.

[00:23:49] But that—

[00:23:50] Yeah, think of all the people dying of starvation in this world.

[00:23:53] In this country.

[00:23:54] Okay, so are you—

[00:23:56] Hold on one second.

[00:23:57] Real fast.

[00:23:57] Real faster.

[00:23:58] Are you claiming that 6 million people have died coming across the border or that—in the deserts?

[00:24:06] Or are you saying that 6 million people in America have died from starvation?

[00:24:10] And if that's true—

[00:24:12] Well, real faster.

[00:24:13] Real faster.

[00:24:14] Real faster.

[00:24:14] Why have we not seen this in any—

[00:24:17] What do you get your news from besides WBT?

[00:24:19] Why have we not seen this in the news?

[00:24:21] This is amazing.

[00:24:23] Listen, I have MSNBC pumping through my veins.

[00:24:26] Good.

[00:24:26] Every audio orifice I can find.

[00:24:28] No problem.

[00:24:29] And I'll tell you what this—

[00:24:29] Have they reported that 6 million people have died from hunger in America?

[00:24:33] Or 6 million people have died coming across the border?

[00:24:35] Huh?

[00:24:36] Coming across the border.

[00:24:37] Hunger.

[00:24:38] War speed.

[00:24:38] The vaccine.

[00:24:39] How many did we kill with the vaccine?

[00:24:40] I mean, I am all for everything this Kamala stands for.

[00:24:44] You're doing gangbusters.

[00:24:46] So you work for the county?

[00:24:49] Yes.

[00:24:50] I'm a mental healthist.

[00:24:51] How is your job stability?

[00:24:53] Mine is not good.

[00:24:54] I'm thankful that I've been at my job now for over 14 years, but that's a rarity in radio.

[00:24:59] So, like, how is your job stability?

[00:25:00] I would think with a government job, you're very secure.

[00:25:04] Absolutely.

[00:25:04] I'm treating—I say 90% of my patients that I see right now, I'm treating for Trump derangement syndrome.

[00:25:10] And you support Trump derangement syndrome.

[00:25:12] You're trying to fight it.

[00:25:13] Wait, wait.

[00:25:14] Trump derangement syndrome means you think he's Hitler.

[00:25:16] I don't understand that.

[00:25:17] Well, exactly.

[00:25:18] But I'm making money off of these policies from Kamala and Joe Bytney.

[00:25:23] I mean—

[00:25:23] Oh, wait a minute.

[00:25:24] So you're joking around.

[00:25:26] You actually support Trump.

[00:25:27] No, no.

[00:25:27] I'm serious.

[00:25:28] No.

[00:25:29] Who?

[00:25:30] Agent Orange?

[00:25:30] No.

[00:25:32] All right.

[00:25:33] But then why are you calling him Joe Bytney if you're a Democrat and you like Kamala?

[00:25:37] Oh, no.

[00:25:37] Freudian slip there.

[00:25:38] You know, I'm a psychonistrist.

[00:25:40] All right.

[00:25:41] Thank you for your attempted humor.

[00:25:44] Thank you.

[00:25:44] I'm not laughing, but I know you tried.

[00:25:47] Let's go to Drew.

[00:25:48] That was odd.

[00:25:50] That was weird, as the campaigns are saying back and forth.

[00:25:52] Drew, hello.

[00:25:54] You're on News Talk 11.

[00:25:56] I'm laughing at him.

[00:25:57] Not with him.

[00:25:59] You're at News Talk 1110 and 993 WBT.

[00:26:02] Chris in for Pete.

[00:26:02] Hello.

[00:26:04] Hey, man.

[00:26:04] Hey, I just want to say that I think people really need to get over how Trump talks.

[00:26:10] If one thing's evident over the last eight years, we know that the media has just lied

[00:26:16] and lied and lied about Trump.

[00:26:17] Yes.

[00:26:18] He says bad things, and he's not really the best speaker.

[00:26:22] But his policies are what we're paying attention to.

[00:26:26] I got three girls, and so the economy has hit me hard.

[00:26:30] I mean, everything's expensive.

[00:26:32] And, you know, people will say, oh, Trump talks bad.

[00:26:35] But when you come home and you can barely pay the bills or you can barely afford gas,

[00:26:41] you can't take that vacation you want to, your retirement account's not looking that great.

[00:26:45] You know, that's the thing that people need to pay attention to.

[00:26:48] And then on top of that, we have all the wars that are, you know, going on,

[00:26:53] which I don't think would be happening if Trump was at home.

[00:26:56] No, they wouldn't.

[00:26:57] You said get over it.

[00:26:58] You really think get over it works?

[00:27:00] I don't.

[00:27:00] It's not working.

[00:27:02] It doesn't work.

[00:27:02] I think get over it because a lot of the stuff is just hearsay.

[00:27:08] And, you know, it's just the media lying about what he says.

[00:27:11] If you go back and actually listen to what he actually says in the moment.

[00:27:15] They don't care and they don't want to and the media lies and they eat them up.

[00:27:18] I'm talking about the general population out there.

[00:27:21] Otherwise, this would not be happening.

[00:27:22] So I'm going to give you an example.

[00:27:25] There's a guy at a church retreat where I was at years ago.

[00:27:28] And this is when Obama was going running for a second term.

[00:27:31] And he was insisting to me.

[00:27:32] He got angry.

[00:27:33] It was extremely annoying to me.

[00:27:35] I had to kind of tell him off, honestly, and tell him to take a hike.

[00:27:37] I'm not there to talk politics for an hour with some guy who's mad and is a fool thinking Obama's going to lose.

[00:27:42] He's like, everybody sees it.

[00:27:44] What's wrong with you?

[00:27:45] I'm like, you don't understand.

[00:27:47] You have to take your glasses off, dude.

[00:27:49] You don't see what other people see.

[00:27:50] We're going to lose.

[00:27:52] He was so angry.

[00:27:53] I told him off.

[00:27:54] I'm like, I'm not here to do this.

[00:27:55] I'm here to do – I'm at a church retreat.

[00:27:57] Out.

[00:27:59] So that's how I think a lot of people are.

[00:28:02] And that's how we lose.

[00:28:03] We lose.

[00:28:04] We're going to win.

[00:28:04] We're going to win.

[00:28:05] And then we lose.

[00:28:06] I appreciate your call, Drew, and I hope I'm wrong.

[00:28:09] But I agree.

[00:28:11] I'm grateful that you shared your position with me.

[00:28:13] All right.

[00:28:13] That'll do it for this episode.

[00:28:15] Thank you so much for listening.
