Gutting the filibuster and dodging tough questions (09-24-2024--Hour3)

[00:00:17] [SPEAKER_01]: What's going on? Thank you so much for listening to this podcast.

[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_01]: In an interview that she apparently did with Wisconsin Public Radio, she said she supports

[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_01]: eliminating the Senate filibuster to codify Roe V Wade. US Senator Kristen Cinema, about 39

[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_01]: minutes ago sent out a tweet saying to state the supremely obvious eliminating the filibuster

[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_01]: to codify Roe V Wade also enables a future Congress to ban all abortion nationwide.

[00:01:02] [SPEAKER_01]: What an absolutely terrible, short-sighted idea. Cinema is of course correct and the irony here

[00:01:13] [SPEAKER_01]: is that the left has been trucking up victories on this question state to state.

[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_01]: So why does it need to blow up the filibuster and ram this thing through?

[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Which by the way, I'm not even sure you're going to have the Senate majority after the selection

[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_01]: cycle, all of the polling indicates you're not going to be able to defend it but maybe they're

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_01]: thinking in two years from now that in 26, they may flip some seats or something.

[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_01]: But the map is just not good for Democrats, the Senate seats that are open, that are probably

[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_01]: going to go for Republicans, that sort of thing. So I'm not so sure why you would even be saying this

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_01]: unless it is to motivate the abortion vote. Why would you do this? It's a terrible idea.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_01]: But it's common to Harris, so that's kind of her jam. Also Miranda Divine at the New York Post

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Simple question, who is running the country? Who is exactly who is running the country at this point?

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Because it appears to be Dr. Jilson and maybe some of the media folks could take just a minute,

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_01]: not even like 15 seconds if you can get a question in to the ever elusive vice president as she

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_01]: campaigns all over the country does minimal interviews with anybody but maybe if you get one of those

[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_01]: maybe ask, you know, maybe ask about who's running the country. I'd like to know, I think that'd be

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_01]: important to know. Miranda Divine says it's easy to forget because Joe Biden is usually invisible

[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_01]: but we still have him as president for at least four months. That is a scary prospect considering his

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_01]: obvious cognitive decline which by the way, nobody has asked Kamala Harris yet when did she notice it?

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Nobody's asked her that. I wish somebody would bud Mark Robinson made some posts on a porn site.

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_01]: So Biden has spent almost half of his presidency goofing off and being shielded from scrutiny

[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_01]: but the situation is rapidly getting worse. The fate of the free world should not be left in the

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_01]: hands of a man who cannot remember where he is or what he's meant to be doing at any given moment.

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_01]: On Saturday, for example, Saturday, he makes the prime ministers of India, Japan and Australia

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_01]: slip on out to Wilmington, Delaware for the annual meeting of the quad. You know what the quad is?

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, if you guessed it's India, Japan, Australia and America will you be correct the quad. It's a

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_01]: in check. So they come over for the annual meet and rather than have them at the White House,

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_01]: they make them go to Delaware. Go to the president's mansion in Delaware which of course

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_01]: nobody wonders how he could afford that mansion on a public servant salary on top of this other two homes

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_01]: but he gets up there he makes his comments and then he's supposed to hand it off to the prime minister

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_01]: of India, Narendra Modi or Modi, Modi, I think it's Modi actually or Modi.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, that's who he's supposed to hand it off to and here is what that sounded like when he attempted

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_02]: to do so but not knowing what he's attempting to do. Thank you all for being here and now

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just guessing. The prime minister of the Republic of India.

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_01]: First, or people is like who am I supposed to introduce and he's like look around who's next and he's

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_01]: getting and he got angry again. There's that flash of it. Why weren't they at the White House? By the way,

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_01]: well, the quad leaders were not hosted at the White House.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Instead, housed at a at the rundown hotel du Pont in Biden's Po-Dunk home town

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_01]: and had to hold their summit at Archmere Academy. The posh Catholic prep school Biden attended while

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_01]: as younger brothers had to contend themselves with the local public school. At least the quad

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_01]: leaders got individual tours of Joe's police, which has been off limits to the media due to

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_01]: fascinating speculation about how the self described poorest man and Congress could afford such

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_01]: luxury. So why were they down there instead of at the White House? Well Miranda divine.

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_01]: The White House patched up a story about Biden wanting to show off his hometown,

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_01]: but he's never had that urge before and quite honestly there's not a whole lot to show off.

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_01]: More likely it was that the White House was already booked for what? Good question.

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Saturday night was a pet project for a glitzy party for the lifelong educator on the

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_01]: House to celebrate the start of a new school year. No room at the White House for the leaders

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_01]: of 2 billion people to discuss how to combat Chinese aggression. No, no, no, we got to welcome

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_01]: the teachers back to school. But not as much of it's she called it a joke but not as much of the joke

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_01]: as what happened Friday at Joe's first cabinet meeting in 11 months. He brought in Jill

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_01]: to sit at the head of the table as if she were running the show. She delivered a little speech on

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_01]: topics while Joe stared vacantly into space and cabinet members had to politely clap.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_01]: The minor standing is that the cabinet meeting lasted about 13 hours because everybody was afraid

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_01]: to be the first one to stop clapping as an auditorium for James. I'm kidding, it did last that long.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Whether it's Jill's or someone else running the country, the bottom line here is that we don't

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_01]: have a functional president. Miranda, the near post continues, this is a constitutional crisis.

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Kamala Harris is most to blame because she has the constitutional duty as vice president to ensure

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_01]: the president's brain is not a wall. She also knows more about Biden's cognitive health than

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_01]: anybody apart from Jill or Hunter. She has lunch lunch with him regularly and often has boasted of

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_01]: being the last person in the room when decisions get made. But she has been lying through her teeth

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_01]: to the American people about Joe Biden's health. She also now has said she's not going to go

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_01]: to the Alzheimer's dinner. This is from the archdiocese of New York's Alzheimer's charity dinner.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_01]: They do this all the time. Like, she would be the first candidate in 40 years to not attend

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_01]: this roast. People make fun of them. They make jokes about each other and that sort of thing.

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Does that show how incapable she is of the impromptu and humorous appearances that Donald

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Trump excels at? She can hide from the Alzheimer's dinner but she can't hide from her

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_01]: constitutional duty. It is her duty to ensure that Biden is fit for office and if he's not,

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_01]: then she and a majority of the cabinet are bound to invoke the 25th Amendment at which point

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Harris becomes acting present. Okay, hang on second. I think I have discovered a flaw in this plan.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, stories are powerful. They help us make sense of things to understand experiences.

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Stories connect us to the people of our past while transcending generations. They help us process

[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_01]: the meaning of life and our stories are told through images and videos. Preserve your stories

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Hello, Debbie. Hi. Hey. What's up? Hi. So what if the plan is to see who wins the election

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_06]: and if Mr. Trump wins the election then Jill will allow Joe to step down after he's pardoned

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_06]: everybody and then Kamala gets to be the first female president even for like too much.

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's true. That's possible. Okay. Well, that's what I was thinking. Yeah. No.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Look. I mean, that's the thing about predictions. Right. Nobody knows. Right. So yeah, that could happen.

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It could happen. Yeah. Debbie, I appreciate the call now. Joe Joe Biden has said he will not

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_01]: pardon his son. But Kamala might. I would not. Yeah. That would not surprise me.

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_01]: And the people who have been shouting the most loudly about preserving our norms. They got nothing

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_01]: to say today about the filibuster, you know, getting blown up just for this one thing just for a

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_01]: row of you way right? No, of course. You can't do that. You can't limit the destruction of the

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_01]: filibuster. It's just one topic like it's just anyway. The Harris Walls ticket is on pace to do fewer

[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_01]: interviews and press conferences than any major party's presidential pairing in modern US history.

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Axios reporting that the Harris team is betting that she and her running mate, Minnesota governor Tim

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Walls who's a liar can avoid many tough interviews and still win as they run out the clock

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_01]: to election day. What did I tell you? What have I been saying ever since she advanced

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_01]: as the nominee after the coup? I've said this. They're just running out the clock.

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_01]: They're going to campaign. Yes, but they're going to do it in a way that gives the impression

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_01]: that they are doing all of this outreach. But they're not going to, they don't want to give her

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_01]: many opportunities to speak in her in her silly word salads. So they're going to limit that.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_01]: And then just going to run out the clock and they're going to bank on people hating Donald Trump

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_01]: enough that she wins. That strategy comes even as voters, a lot of them say they want to

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_01]: know more about her and as her campaign has said that she has changed many of her past

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_01]: liberal positions to more centrist policies. By the way, the video that just came out yesterday

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_01]: a resurfaced, I should say, didn't come out. It resurfaced. She's at some protest against ice

[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_01]: and she's screaming along with the chanting moonbat brigade to end deportations.

[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Gosh, if only we had known that she would open the border. Anyway, depreviously press friendly

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_01]: walls whose alire has joined Harrison largely dodging the media while campaigning before friendly

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_01]: enthusiastic crowds. Many of whom get busted during those 59 days since the coup,

[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Republican Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have participated in more than 70 interviews and press

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_01]: conferences with TV and print reporters while Harris and walls have taken part in 1234 has seven seven

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_01]: vans alone has done more than seven times more interviews and press conferences than Harris and

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_01]: walls combined. Local TV Harris 1, walls 3 National Print Harris 1, walls 0,

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_01]: National TV Harris 1, walls 1 Press conferences Harris 0, walls 0 that's an axioc analysis

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_01]: they say we didn't even include partisan leading commentators. So they ruled out Fox News news,

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Max, the New York Post, podcasters. They didn't include MSNBC when walls did the interview with

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_01]: the Rachel Maddo. Harris's team believes limiting interactions with the press is the right strategy

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_01]: even if it frustrates reporters. Trump and Vance make it more attention for interviews,

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_01]: but that often brings negative attention as well. Think about that. What a difference in philosophy,

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Trump's philosophy of any press is good press as long as they're talking about us kind of

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_01]: the thing you know? And Harris walls their strategies don't say nothing and no.

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Because that tells me that they assume every interview will be bad. There's very little juice

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_01]: worth that squeeze. The Harris campaign, well this makes sense. Declined to make either candidate

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_01]: available for an interview. That's okay. I mean that is on brand. ABC polling in mid-August found

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_01]: that before the Democrat convention nearly one third of voters had no opinion of Tim walls.

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, that is totally fine by the Democrats. They are fine with that.

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Some of Harris's worst moments as Veeb have come during the interviews where she made

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_01]: flip or unclear comments about key policies and her campaign is trying to avoid more moments

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_01]: like that, which is quite the admission. All right. How about a season approaches? And here's

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_01]: an idea. Give a gift that makes a difference. With simply N.C. goods, you directly support North

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go over to the phones. Let's talk with J.C. Hello, J.C. Welcome to the show.

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Hello, sir. How are you today? I am doing all right. How are you?

[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm doing all wrong. Well, that's good. It's a fair contrast. Yeah. This is kind of like,

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I guess mostly a warning sort of like some things are better left on said. Like the lady

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_05]: called in earlier and she was talking about Kamala maybe being a president for like two months.

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. Whatever. So, if on a spiritual nature, if we get our ideas from the spirit world,

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_05]: you know, Christ or or demons possibly like how do we know like I'm not to say that some

[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_05]: issues aren't. Aren't to be like brought to you know the conversation platform. But sometimes

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_05]: like that idea might not even it's been heard unless someone actually spoke it because it's kind of

[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_05]: like a pebble in the water. People's go out and then a million people hear it and then it's an issue.

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_05]: So how we should maybe be cautious how we get these ideas like I understand where she was coming from.

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I get that but if she would have made you like not broadcast that to the general public maybe

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_05]: you know a million people would not have heard it and therefore like our energy together

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_05]: prayer like if it's multiplied by more than one or two or three or ten or a hundred thousand

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_05]: people like and that's kind of easy to remember with this. Yeah, it's sort of the line about

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_01]: don't throw that out into the universe. You know, don't speak it into existence. That kind of thing

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_01]: right and I'm trying to like well no air so so number one, I think you that you may be

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_01]: underestimating the audience here on the program just a little bit.

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Number one, number two and I understand the point but I also like I've heard this before

[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I have no doubt that people on the left who are animated by the pursuit of power.

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think that that idea has not crossed their mind at some point. And honestly

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_01]: right doing so if that were to actually occur then not only would she yes go down in history as

[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_01]: the first female president but there would also be an asterisk there because she was not elected

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_01]: right just like Gerald Ford was not elected. So like there's there's a problem with that scenario

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_01]: but on the other hand the benefit of it is that it checks off the box right now we can say

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_01]: hey we had a woman president I mean there's only two months but we already we already cleared that

[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_01]: hurdle yay us you know and then it's not a thing they don't they don't get to use it again

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_01]: except well they would like as they could say you know the first female elected president they could

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_05]: say that. Sure sure I guess also what I'm sort of implying is that maybe in our general lives

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_05]: maybe if we don't get some grandiose idea as a possibility that could happen maybe it wouldn't

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_05]: be a reality if we would have just kept our mouth shut. Yeah maybe but that's just a speculative

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_05]: of it. I'm not sure and I respect it you have heard this before and I'm not challenging you I've just

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_05]: heard that that's where you know my mind went to just as a warning it's not you know

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_05]: it's not like hey just don't do this because where else are we're gonna have to instruct the

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_01]: dialogue right and so this is why and this is why I pointed out just like I did with you right there

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_01]: on that speculation I pointed it out with hers and her prediction is that making predictions has

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_01]: virtually no value right. Now sometimes they have great value but most of the time they don't

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_01]: anybody can make any kind of predictions about anything at all I feel like a big problem that we've

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_01]: got particularly in media and in politics is everything is filtered through this prediction lens

[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_01]: everything is speculative and yeah like it's which is to me a form of worry right it's just like

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I agree yes you're right yeah right because otherwise it's like oh this this could happen and

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_01]: this other thing could happen and this other thing could happen and like literally limitless possibilities

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_01]: exist so are we going to now worry about every single one of these limitless possibilities you'll go

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_01]: crazy so well why not just I try to focus on this stuff for my show I try to and what I say

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I focus on the stuff that has occurred stuff that I believe is you know is close to the truth

[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_01]: as close as I can get to the truth and then I try to talk about ideas. I'm not trying to like no

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't take it is that and even if you did it is fine yeah but your response is really kind of like

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I did me to hear something like that but we should all kind of like be cautious you know when we just

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_05]: like oh well what if this happens not to say that you know that does like you say lead into worry

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_05]: which is kind of like a sin again it's a spirit it's a work but I just hey I don't want to hold

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_05]: up your time there's lots of people that are out there maybe somebody needs to hear that you know

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah maybe no again JC your expectation of everybody waiting to get on the show I think maybe

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_01]: a bit of another overestimation I appreciate the call JC thank you for for calling I got your point

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah these are ideas and I'm much prefer talking about ideas then talking about people right

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_01]: and that's why whenever I talk about stories about particularly in politics I always try to kind of

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_01]: elevate the individual story the anecdote and talk about the idea behind the anecdote like what is

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_01]: debating what is driving a particular people or movements right that to me is a is a more fruitful

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_01]: conversation for example Kamala Harris's campaign do you know they are still requiring the COVID

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_01]: shots and boosters for their staffers so what does that mean now I can go off and like you know

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Ash Kamala Harris but to me that indicates a particular mindset right an idea that I should be

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_01]: able to tell you what to do with regard to this jab right that's an idea that I find to be kind of

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_01]: sort of I mean just a teeny weaning little bit terrifying because if that's what you're thinking

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_01]: for your staffers are you gonna start thinking that way like if if you view all of the country if you

[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_01]: win if you view all of the country as as your employees I'm gonna tell them what to do because I know

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_01]: what's best for them just like I knew what's best for my staffers right that's an idea that's terrifying

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_01]: to me and your mileage may vary so when I was a kid my grandpa died with Alzheimer's and before he died

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_01]: my mom and my dad and all of us really helped take care of them as he got progressively worse

[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_01]: 40 years ago there were no treatments and not much support for caregivers and family

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_01]: things are different today because of the work is so many people including the Alzheimer's

[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Association of Western North Carolina it's a great organization with awesome people they've got huge

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_01]: hearts I've been a supporter for like 25 years this cause means a lot to me I participate in the

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_01]: year it's called Peats Pack you can sign up and join the team and walk with me it's on October

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_01]: my goal I would really appreciate it there are a bunch of other walks around the Carolinas and you

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_01]: go to a.lz.org for all of the dates and locations we are closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer's

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_01]: and if you can help us get there we would really appreciate it will you come walk with me

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_01]: for a different future for families for more time for treatments this is why I walk

[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_01]: let me jump over here and get Ralph welcome to the program hello Ralph

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_04]: hey Pete well in in accordance to your last call or and everything that's the reason I became an

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_04]: independent and everything I mean for so long the Republicans have just you know kept their

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_04]: mouth shut and nice and I understand the element of not yell and fire and at the age or everything but

[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_04]: you know it's just sickening as Rush Limbaugh said we've got to go out and we've got to defeat

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_04]: this ideology and we've got to get in and some people's faces we can't I mean the liberals will break

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_04]: every law in the book and then you know like you say the flight and everything about why they did it

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_04]: and everything and have a reason for what they done and everything and I just so sick of it

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_01]: so here's okay so I got Ralph if you're talking about getting into people's faces and having debates

[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_01]: and arguments a quick pointer you want to give people an off ramp in any kind of a debate or

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_01]: discussion right unless you're talking with like a you know a full-on comedy kind of you know moon bat

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_01]: brigade member but if you're talking to a reasonable person somebody in your life right you

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_01]: you always want to try to give them away to to take an off ramp and to distance themselves

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_01]: from something that is too radical so they don't get a source they don't feel like they're associated with it right

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_01]: so I would recommend that you use a different term besides liberals I would say leftists

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_01]: and then attribute to the leftist the radical ideology because it is and then that gives people who are

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_01]: liberal left leaning sort of mushy moderate middle at least as they perceive themselves even if

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_01]: they're not but it gives them an opportunity to take an off ramp to say oh I don't agree with all of that stuff right

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_01]: so this way you have sort of an an agreement on the definition of terms does that make sense?

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah well I realize that and everything you know but it's they always could they always come back to that

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_04]: on I'm not for putting tampons and the fork grade boys you know I'm not but you know

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_01]: but they won't stop it that's the and this is the this is the problem is they they you can we cannot count

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_01]: on liberals to fight leftists it's nice when they do I'm not saying they never will I'm just saying

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_01]: they rarely do they usually just give in to the more radical wing of the the democrat party and

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_01]: you're seeing it now with the like common terraces comments about the filibuster being blown up

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_01]: for roe v Wade that has become the central issue to the democrat party that is it and you

[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean who's come out against it on you know in the democrat party is Joe Manchin and Kristen Cinema

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_04]: and that's it hey on your topic about you know local news reporters could you imagine me live in the

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_04]: town like gamey bowls or something and and having a conversation about come on man you don't need to

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_04]: report the other side of the spectrum. Do you live next door to Jamie Bills? I've talked about you know

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_04]: as far as local news reporters and stuff like that they never you mean they had mile hours on WBTV last night

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_04]: you know given her points about wide JD van shouldn't be in Charlotte and it is viewpoint since

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I did not see the I did not see the interview now I yeah now I mean and so like you

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_01]: so something you always gotta keep in mind when it comes to local reporters is that their beat is local

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_01]: right so they and and I realized this when I was when I did my brief stint in TV news

[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_01]: and I was off chasing like a a TV reporter now I know Jamie's an anchor so it's it's different

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what goes into that gig but from from a reporter standpoint you're responsible for one

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_01]: story as a TV reporter one story per shift so you gotta get everything you need for that one story and

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_01]: then you know try to develop stuff for the next day you can work on other things too sort of

[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_01]: but that's all in the background you have to turn one story every single day and so if you're doing

[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_01]: local news every your whole day is basically dedicated to making sure you get that one story on the

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_01]: so you you are not seeing a lot of national stuff unless you're doing it on your own time you know

[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_01]: so I don't expect local reporters to be up to speed on national arguments

[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_01]: and and that's not an excuse it's just the reality of it

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_04]: well they didn't get to the inquire inquire my answer one of them yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Ralph I appreciate the call man I see the only way to hide your footprint on the internet is to use

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_01]: a browser like brave in private mode and use a VPN says J right right but go on that's from

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_01]: the first hour discussion about the they found child porn on the would be assassins sons computer

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and this apparently happens often where like somebody gets in trouble

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_01]: and then some relative turns out to have the child porn it's kind of like well let's go

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_01]: on here it's happened enough times now where it's like are these pressure points being applied

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_01]: by some external forces I don't know I am not saying that's the case I'm just asking questions

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just asking questions but I do use the brave um browser ever since I found it I've been

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I use brave as my browser it is fantastic I love it I am not a pain endorser for brave either

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_01]: the federalists Augusta my rat says the biggest clue that Kamala Harris would be an authoritarian

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_01]: president is the senseless covid shot mandate she's forcing on her staff one of the worst

[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_01]: abuses of power in the general response to covid 19 was forcing Americans to take the shot nearly

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_01]: every major employer including the federal government required that employees take an untested drug to

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_01]: quote vaccinate them from a virus that the majority had already had worse still the shot did not

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_01]: prevent people from contracting or transmitting covid it did however result in a number of side effects

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_01]: some even worse than the disease itself eventually after some pushback in the courts the

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Biden administration and most organizations dropped the mandates but against all logic the Harris

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_01]: walls presidential campaign is bringing it back getting the band back together yeah that's kind
