[00:00:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Story from our pals here in town WC and C

[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_00]: NBC affiliate

[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_00]: TV news piece by Hank Lee

[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Headline

[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Can you guess what Tim Walls ordered at cookout?

[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_00]: No, and I don't care. I

[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't care what the man is eating at a cookout with Roy Cooper

[00:00:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Stop trying to make fetch happen. Oh my gosh

[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walls is tripped in North Carolina is making headlines, but not for the reasons you'd expect

[00:01:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Dude, you guys determine what the headlines are

[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_00]: What am I missing here? I

[00:01:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Would expect I don't know he's making headlines because he's here in North Carolina talking about some stuff related to his presidential campaign

[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Haha, you would be mistaken Pete. No

[00:01:26] [SPEAKER_00]: He's making headlines because we decided that his flavor of milkshake is more important

[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Not kidding. That's what the story is about

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you to AP Dylan for sending this over to me

[00:01:42] [SPEAKER_00]: AP Dylan from North State Journal and her sub stack walls who is Minnesota's governor

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Hey was in Raleigh by the way Tim Walls liar

[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_00]: He was in Raleigh for a private fundraiser for Kamala Harris's campaign and while in town governor Ray Cooper

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_00]: My good friend Ray treated walls who's a liar to a cookout milkshake

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_00]: They stopped at the cookout on South Wilmington Street if you are curious

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I was not I was not curious at all

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_00]: With dozens of flavors to choose from the cookout milkshake menu can be overwhelming

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Honestly just trying to order anything at cookout can be stressful for newbies

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Really

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Ordering off of a fast food menu can be stressful

[00:02:26] [SPEAKER_00]: This has got to be written by a Gen Z or millennial holy cow

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Ordering off of a menu is stressful. Okay, but walls played it safe ordering a mint chocolate chip

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_00]: chocolate chip milkshake

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_00]: He's just like us this is what it reminds me have you ever see those those?

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what they call them in there like tabloid magazines people magazine stars

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_00]: They're just like us he too enjoys mint chocolate chip

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_00]: You see what they're doing here, right?

[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Roy Cooper takes walls to the cookout so he can have another one of these stupid Joe Biden chocolate chocolate chip moments

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what this reminds me of you know when you have a TV show or sitcom

[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, mainly a sitcom only where you've got like a lead character who says a little catchphrase

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Like what you talking about Willis or whatever or a like Fonzie and then something happens, right?

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Something happens in the sitcom like you know

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_00]: The kid grows up or you know dies or something whatever like one of the characters leaves the show and

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Then they bring in some other person who then tries to do some sort of a twist on

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_00]: the catchphrase or something or

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_00]: They swap out somebody

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Like

[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Richie Cunningham's older brother whatever happened to that guy no

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_00]: But like they bring somebody in and they pretend that they want you to pretend you never notice like the the sister

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_00]: In that 70s show right? I think they swapped her out something like that

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what this is

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_00]: They well it worked for Joe Biden and his love of ice cream and everybody loved it so much and this will give

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_00]: People to something to talk about yeah, so he's not talking about his lies

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_00]: So he doesn't have to defend himself against the stolen valor charges, which he still can't do apparently after six weeks

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_00]: The best he came up with was well my grammar isn't always correct dude

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't the grammar that was your mess up on that it was the words that you said that were the lies that were the problem

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, let's go over to Ralph thanks for hanging on Ralph welcome to the program

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Great day to be talking to mr. Pete calendar

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, you know a policy that I think would be hard to straddle and be painful would be his views on

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Putting tampons in fourth grade boys bathrooms

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean that's the policy that I think would be the one that really be hard to

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_01]: The grass well, yeah

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean it they don't want to ask him about that because then he's gonna end up having to address why he did that thing

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Again like there all of the questions were these sort of softball hanging, you know

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Floaters over the plate and even then they couldn't even make contact on a lot of this stuff

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_00]: It's it's it's sad

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_00]: But it's infuriating because I have a higher standard for media and that's my own that that's my own

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Problem like I still hold them to some standard and I I still think of them and want them to be

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_00]: better than they are and well

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_01]: And you know and you know, they're pandering to their crowd seeing in whatever

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Small percentage of viewers they have but you know it does say

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_01]: What the intelligence of society is at this day, I mean

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_01]: people people don't grasp

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Politics they're not involved in

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_01]: And how things work how the legislature I mean, you know

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_01]: It made me a lot of people can't even name who the first president but I mean that's what we're at today, Pete

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I know I'm 65

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_01]: But it's just astounding that you would want to pay higher prices on everything you buy destroy your wealth

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_01]: So that you can say oh

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_01]: We got our first lady president, you know, I mean amazing. Yeah

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, these are the times we are in Ralph. I appreciate the call man. Have a great weekend. I

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Remember a sociological experiment

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_00]: That was done and people would

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Would take less money if it meant somebody else in the group got less money than they did

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_00]: In other words, they would penalize that in fact

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_00]: There's a there's a Netflix show that my wife found it's sort of a reality show

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_00]: And remember the old CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin?

[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_00]: She's now the host of this show and it's called The Trust and

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_00]: As I'm watching it. I'm like, this is that sociological experiment

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_00]: They put everybody together they start off with like 10 or 11 people and they say

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_00]: There's a trust

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_00]: 250,000 it's already there you all split it evenly

[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_00]: But every day or whatever it is you get to vote

[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_00]: And if you vote to share it then everybody stays but if you vote somebody out then and all takes is

[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_00]: One vote a majority of the vote. So if nobody votes except one person and they vote against me, I'm gone and

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_00]: You watch the machinations just start developing among people to try to

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Hurt others to get them out so they get more money in the case of the show

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_00]: But in the original experiment, it wasn't even that they would get more money

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_00]: They would get less and it didn't matter to them

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_00]: They just wanted to penalize other people

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_00]: John wants to know if

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_00]: If walls got a triple thick chocolate shake like Joe Biden did I will not be able to rest this weekend until I know that's good

[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Not that's a good question, right? Where is the hard-hitting?

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Journalisming that we expect

[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_00]: From our political press

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Why would you not why would you not test the viscosity of the milkshake?

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_00]: How dare you leave us in

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Alerts here not knowing we're like in purgatory here milkshake purgatory

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Matthew says I am pretty sure that the bubble of joy

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Was Willie Brown's nickname for Kamala when they did oh my goodness. Okay. All right. All righty. Matthew

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you have a good weekend to you too. Greg wants to know cookout

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_00]: What about char grill?

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_00]: You're in Raleigh and you don't go to char grill losers

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_00]: They are missing out on the best burger in Raleigh. I think that's the place

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I was actually trying to think of they've got one in I think mint Hill, right?

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I want to say is that the one char grill or char bar was at the char bar. I don't remember

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, we were talking during the break about

[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_00]: about the burgers

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Jim says

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Regarding Kamala Harris she said she would not ban fracking but she didn't say she wouldn't over

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Regulate it out of existence

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, someone should ask her for more than just the commitment not to ban it

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, we're gonna Jim we're gonna have to wait for somebody with a little bit better journalisming chops than Dana Batch as I

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_00]: promised

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's get to some of the audio of Kamala Harris. No

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_00]: She was asked what would you do on day one here is her entire answer well?

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_02]: There are a number of things okay. I'll tell you first and foremost one of my

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class such as

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_02]: when I look at

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_02]: The

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_02]: aspirations the goals the ambitions of the American people. Yeah, I think that

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_02]: People are ready for a new way forward. Okay, which is um

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_02]: In a way that generations of Americans have been fueled by by hope and by optimism

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I think sadly in the last decade

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_02]: We have had in the former president someone who has

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Really been pushing an agenda and an environment that is about

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_02]: diminishing

[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_02]: The character and the strength of who we are as Americans

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Really dividing our nation and I agree about Obama turn the page on that. Oh, did you do day one day?

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_02]: One it's gonna be about one implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity economy

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I've already laid out a number of proposals in that regard wait what which include what we're gonna do to bring down

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_02]: The cost of everyday goods what we're gonna do to invest in America's small businesses what we're gonna do to invest in

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Families for example extending the child tax credit to six thousand dollars for families for the first year of their child's life

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_02]: To help them buy a car seat to help them buy baby clothes a crib

[00:11:15] [SPEAKER_02]: There's the work that we're gonna do that is about investing in the

[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_02]: American family around affordable housing a big issue in our country right now

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_02]: So there are a number of things on day one

[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, why won't you tell us what they are then?

[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_00]: The closest I heard to any kind of a policy there was the child tax credit thing which she stole from JD Vance after they mocked it

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_00]: but

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Are you talking about the price caps?

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Is that what you were talking about price caps on on grocers?

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_00]: So as to induce famine and bread lines is that the idea? That's how are you exactly going to do that?

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_00]: This stuff requires legislation. That's a day one thing. This is such a joke

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Such a joke. That's a non-answer

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't even know what you're going to do on day one again

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_00]: That is like the most mundane and normal and usual question

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Politicians at every level get asked and she can't answer it

[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_00]: She says to the whole, you know, we're not going back slogan. She was asked

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_00]: What do you say to voters who want those lower prices for groceries? She then blames Trump for

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_00]: mismanaging COVID and how you know, we did our best to rescue America prices are too high price gouging

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Child tax credit she mentioned that three times the first time homebuyer credit

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_00]: No explanation of how that's going to get paid for what kind of distortions it does in the market

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_00]: And then she's asked why haven't you done these things already? I was in Nevada recently a

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_02]: grandmother

[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_02]: who showed me her receipts and

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Before we kept the cost of insulin for seniors at $35 a month

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_02]: She was playing hundreds of dollars up to thousands of dollars a month for her insulin

[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_02]: She's not doing that and you maintain by nomics is a success

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I maintain that when we do the work of bringing down prescription medication for the American people including capping the cost of

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_02]: The annual cost of prescription medication for seniors at $2,000

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_02]: When we do what we did in the first year of being in office to extend the child tax credit

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_02]: So that we cut child poverty in America by over 50 percent

[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_02]: When we do what we have done to invest in the American people and bringing

[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Manufacturing back to the United States so that we created over 800,000 new manufacturing jobs

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Bringing business back to America what we have done to improve the supply chain

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_02]: So we're not relying on foreign governments to supply American families with their basic needs

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll say that that's good work. There's more to do but that's good work

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_00]: So the question you'll recall was so by dynamics is a success and

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_00]: She didn't answer that now you can frame that headline as

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Harris refuses to say

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_00]: by dynamics is a success

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Think that's one way to write that headline

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_00]: But we've done good work more to do but we've done good work well, that's what

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Biden did are you tethering yourself to the by dynamics or no?

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_00]: See again trying to have it both ways. This is why I say their campaign slogan should be

[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_00]: the same but different

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_00]: They wanted both ways

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_00]: This is a continuation of all these fantastic policies

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is why Joe Biden was so popular

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is why we had to overthrow him in a palace coup to put me in place to go in a different direction

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_00]: But not a different direction where we're doing different things because everything we did worked

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_00]: This is insanity this is gaslighting and

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_00]: For I suspect half the country it won't matter

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_00]: All right

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Hey real quick if you would like to get your product or service in front of about 10,000 people multiple times a day

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Send me an email at Pete at the Pete calendar show calm and ask me about advertising

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_00]: It's super affordable

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_00]: It's baked into this podcast forever and podcasts have a higher conversion rate than other social media platforms making it

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_00]: The best bang for your buck send me a message Pete at the Pete calendar show calm and I can show you how it works

[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Run the numbers with you again. That's Pete at the Pete calendar show calm

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Patty on the Twitter machines in it. It's a Pete tweet Patty says ordering a burger at Cookout is overwhelming

[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_00]: And you want this guy as vice president?

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_00]: It's ridiculous

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_00]: All right, so back to the audio from last night what clip number am I on here number three?

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_00]: About halfway done. I oh this is the question from Dana Bash

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I want to get some clarity on where you stand on some of the issues

[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Sorry that wasn't the clip

[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Here's the clip and in 2019 you said quote there is no question

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm in favor of banning fracking fracking as you know is a pretty big issue

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Particularly in your must-win state of Pennsylvania. Do you still want to ban fracking?

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_02]: No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, first off she said Joe Biden will not ban fracking

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_00]: In 2020 she was out of the race at that point

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_00]: She said that during the vice presidential debate after Joe Biden had made her his veep pick

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_02]: After she called him a segregationist as vice president. I did not ban fracking as president

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I will not ban fracking. Okay, also vice presidents don't get the ban fracking

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Just heads up on that for everybody that failed civics

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_03]: In 2019 I believe at a town hall you said you were asked

[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Would you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking on your first day in office?

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_03]: And you said there's no question. I'm in favor of banning fracking. So yes

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_02]: So it changed in the in that campaign

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_02]: In 2020 I made very clear where I stand we are in 2024 and I've not changed that position or will I going forward

[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I kept and you can believe her now

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_00]: She changed it before but now she's set. This is it. She's not gonna change it again

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_02]: My word and I will keep my word. She will keep her word

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Now need you change that position at the time. Well, let's be clear. My values have not changed

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_02]: guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate and

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_02]: To do that we can do what we have accomplished thus far the inflation reduction act

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_02]: What we have done to invest by my calculation over

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Probably a trillion dollars over the next ten years

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Investing in a clean energy economy what we've already done creating over

[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_02]: 300,000 new clean energy jobs that tells me from my experience as vice president

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_02]: We can do it without banning fracking. In fact Dana Dana, excuse me. Oh

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_02]: cast the tie-breaking vote

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_02]: That actually increased leases for fracking as vice president

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm very clear about where I stand and was there some policy

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Or scientific data that you saw that you said, oh, okay, I get it now

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_02]: What I have seen is that we can

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_02]: We can grow and we can increase a thriving clean energy economy without banning fracking. All right

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_00]: so

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Claire is mud and I am a little unclear I wanted to go back and just listen to this one part

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_02]: What just one more to do that we can do what we have accomplished thus far

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_02]: To do that we can do what we have accomplished thus far. I don't know what that means

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_00]: To do that we can do what we've already done

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_00]: That's far what we've accomplished by the way

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_00]: That is an admission right there that the inflation reduction act

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Was in fact a green New Deal bill

[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Right. She is admitting that without realizing it. I'm sure but that's because that's the tie-breaking vote

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_00]: She also broke the tie on the American Rescue Plan too. So

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_00]: That that's what she's claiming credit for all of the the

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_00]: green energy

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_00]: spending in the inflation production act that's

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what that was about

[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_00]: The Vick Ramiswamy

[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_00]: He went on Twitter and he said in 2019 Kamala Harris said that she would absolutely ban fracking at present

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_00]: She says she won't ban fracking tonight. She said her position on a fracking ban has not changed

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_00]: At least one of those three statements has to be false and that's not a partisan point. It's just logic

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see here. I had a couple other comments from people on the fracking

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_00]: This is from Ari Fleischer who said when she ran for president

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_00]: She said she would ban fracking on day one. She did in fact say that

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Next

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Immigration during the Biden Harris administration

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_03]: There were record numbers of illegal border crossings. Why did the Biden Harris administration wait three and a half years to implement

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_03]: sweeping asylum restrictions

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, first of all

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_02]: The root causes work that I did as vice president that I was asked to not as our president has actually resulted in a number of

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Benefits including historic investments by American businesses in that region

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_02]: the number of

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Immigrants coming from that region has actually reduced

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Since we began that work, but coming from China that

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Joe Biden and I and our administration

[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Worked with members of the United States Congress on an immigration

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Issue that is very significant to the American people and to our security, which is the border

[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and we are aware partisan work including some of the most conservative members of the United States Congress

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_02]: a bill was crafted which we supported which I support and

[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Donald Trump got word of this bill that would have contributed to securing our border and because

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_02]: He believes that it would not have helped him politically

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_02]: He told his folks in Congress don't put it forward. He killed the bill a

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Border security bill that would have put 1500 more agents on the border

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And let me tell you something the border patrol endorsed the bill. It was a bad bill. It was a terrible bill

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_00]: That's why Republicans did not sign on to it. That's why Trump opposed it

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_00]: You set these daily minimums basically that allowed

[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Thousands of people every single day and then gave the Secretary of Homeland Security

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Mayorkas who nobody trusts gave him the ability

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_00]: To implement it whenever he wanted and the president the ability to just overrule him whenever he wanted

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a terrible bill and I'm sure and I'm sure in large part because they knew they were working around the clock and

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_02]: 1500 more agents would help them that bill would have allowed us to increase seizures of fentanyl

[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Ask any

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Community in America that has been devastated by fentanyl

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_02]: What nothing that bill would have done to address their concern and a pain that they've experienced

[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_02]: So you would push that legislation again? I just want to push it

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I will make sure that it comes to my desk and I would sign it just one other question about

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Something that you said in 2019 when you first ran there was a debate you raised your hand when asked whether or not

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_03]: The border should be decriminalized

[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Do you still believe that I?

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Believe there should be consequence. We have laws that have to be followed and enforced

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_02]: That address and deal with people who cross our border illegally and there should be consequence

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And let's be clear in this race. I'm the only person

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Who has

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_02]: prosecuted

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Transnational criminal organizations who trafficking guns drugs and human beings. I'm the only person in this race

[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Who actually served a border state as attorney general to enforce our laws and I would enforce our laws as president going forward

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_00]: I recognize the problem. Okay, so back in 2017 Kamala Harris tweeted quote an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm sure she has now had some sort of road to Damascus moment on this too

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And she by the way points out that she was the only one that prosecuted these things

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that as president Donald Trump did a little bit of the prosecution too

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Right through policy through shutting down the border

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_00]: right

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_00]: building a wall

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Like he didn't try them in a criminal courtroom personally

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_00]: But he also was the president of all of the border states not just California. Let me get to some reactions

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Liam Donovan

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Hosts the Lobby shop podcast

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_00]: He said whatever you think of Kamala Harris's performance

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine what the Biden version would have been like and it's easy to understand then why Democrats think that she crushed it

[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is true

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I oh, thank God. It was not Biden. That's it. That's literally the only bar. She has to walk over

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Here's one from a fellow on Twitter called a newsman. It's an anonymous account

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_00]: He says what's important for the public to understand is that if Dana Bash landed a political knockout punch

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_00]: She would never work in American media again

[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_00]: The vast majority of the people you see on cable news

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Wouldn't remotely be able to afford their lifestyle based on actual consumer demand for their work

[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_00]: So they spend every waking hour clinging to their job of doing the bidding of the powerful and lying to the public

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_00]: None of it is news

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Kyle Smith over at the Wall Street Journal

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Said everything Kamala says is like the website. I look up for that temperature to bake bacon

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_00]: For a search engine optimization purposes, it has to be over a thousand words. Did you know that?

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll get back to that

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_00]: So the website begins bacon, right who doesn't love bacon

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a morning treat that I first discovered while backpacking across your blah blah blah blah blah

[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_00]: All right, and then you got to scroll down like five times to get to 400 degrees 18 minutes, right?

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Anybody who has searched for a recipe online has encountered this phenomena and it has to do with search engine optimization

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_00]: If your website doesn't have or your blog post rather doesn't have enough words in it

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't get optimized for search results

[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's why they end up telling you all of these stupid things before they get to the thing that you're actually

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_00]: They're trying to find out how long do I put this London broil in the oven for?

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_00]: That's it. That's all I want to know. I don't care about your experience on some farm in Iowa, you know I

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_00]: First met the cow that I ate in Iowa 1980 no, I don't care

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Miranda divine at the New York Post just on optics

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_00]: What a peculiar setup for this big-time interview

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Harris hidden behind a table while walls and bash are perched awkwardly in the foreground on either side

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe Harris was going for the commanding CEO look but instead she came across as small and contrived

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_00]: This honestly looks like an interview with a couple of local alderman on a dinky little community TV station

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_00]: CNN should not have agreed to the Harris campaigns ridiculous conditions for this 18 minute

[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Pre-recorded first-ever interview with the woman who wants to be our commander in chief have some self respect CNN

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_00]: It was it did look very weird

[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_00]: It looked very weird, and I think she was like she was kind of hunched over

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Like crouched and not like hunched over

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I guess she was just like sitting there and like she had her hands on the table

[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_00]: So the shoulders kind of get pushed up, you know

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_00]: But then like the lower back slouches a little bit and it made her it made her look very small

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Because she's in the background and the two other people at the table are closer to the lens so

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then the like I was looking at the the the windows behind them and

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_00]: It's but it says something cafe on the back on the windows

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_00]: But it was backwards, you know because it's outward facing and so I'm like this they're at some cafe

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_00]: This is a cafe, and I'm looking at the tables and it looked like it looked like the kind of table that would be in

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Like the office kitchenette area, you know

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Like these very thin table tops. They're all gray all the seats were gray

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_00]: The carpet was gray the walls were gray and then they had the lights down

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And then they had these cups that were just like these coffee mugs scattered on the tables all around like like a zombie

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Apocalypse had happened and everybody ran out of the place immediately

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_00]: just a bizarre

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Setting super Mexican that's his name on Twitter. He's hilarious does a podcast to

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_00]: He says that interview it's L super Mexican is his name L super Mexican. That's

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Soo PR super Mexican

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_00]: He says that interview was so low energy and boring the questions were okay. The answers were okay

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes they deflected Dana Bash didn't really press them on anything. It was like playing prevent defense

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_00]: They think they're winning. They're not gonna swing for the fences. So mixed

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Sports ball metaphors aside

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_00]: That is what's happening. This is a four-corner's offense kind of deal going on

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Four corners that was before they put in the shot clock and basketball

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_00]: You could basically score one basket and then just spread your team out on the basketball court

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Just pass the ball for the remainder of the 48 minute game and you would win 2-0

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_00]: By never giving the ball over right

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, four corners, right is that what that was called right prevent defense in football right prevent defense

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_00]: You're gonna just back up give up everything underneath let them do throw all their little dinky pants and stuff

[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I've never been a fan of it because it usually ends up with the team scoring

[00:29:56] I

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Was it John Madden used to say the only thing that prevent defense does is prevent you from winning

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_00]: But teams play it still to this day. They use that defense like alright

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_00]: We're just gonna you know, we're gonna bend but not break

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna give up because we're the time's almost out. We're winning so we don't need to really do anything

[00:30:14] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what the Harris Walls campaign is doing

[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Ben Shapiro said Dana Bash's lack of follow-up virtually on virtually any difficult question was egregious a

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Full-scale betrayal of her supposed journalistic profession a half dozen easy follow follow-ups would have totally fried Kamala's circuits

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Bash knew it, which is why she didn't do it and

[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_00]: tend to agree

[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I tend to agree

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_00]: um and
