[00:00:29] [SPEAKER_00]: All right. I did get a message

[00:00:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Last hour I was talking about Sheriff not my fault McFadden in Mecklenburg County

[00:00:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Saying that all of the jail deaths 18 under his watch over the last five years or so

[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Roughly three per year not his fault. I know that's gonna come as a surprise and I I got a tweet

[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_00]: That said that he's a narcissist and then I ran through the Darvo, which is

[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_00]: deny attack and

[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Reverse victim offender RVO reverse the victim and the offender in any scenario

[00:01:03] [SPEAKER_00]: And I got a message here confirming my diagnosis from Russ who is not a professional

[00:01:11] [SPEAKER_00]: but

[00:01:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Was a psychology minor in college?

[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_00]: And so he says you have my totally not professional backing for your narcissism and Darvo

[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Diagnosis of McFadden feel free to use it anytime you need an appeal to authority

[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_00]: So I thank you for that Russ. I shall

[00:01:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of the jail a lot of people are very very upset with Donald Trump

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, I just end the sentence there but they I was actually watching

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Megan Kelly did a podcast with a fella named

[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Sean Ryan I think is his name. I'd never heard of him. He's a former

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Navy SEAL guy and she did this four-hour long

[00:01:59] [SPEAKER_00]: interview with him this fascinating and

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_00]: One of the things that she said was that like Trump has driven people crazy

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_00]: like really he drives them nuts and

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I find myself agreeing with this assessment. I've said this for years that he broke people's brains

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's you know for him and against him there are people

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_00]: They've become just completely, you know wrapped up in the cult of Trump and then there are people that

[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_00]: See Trump behind every tree under every rock and he's the reason for every bad thing that ever happens

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Like Trump derangement syndrome

[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Like he's driven people crazy

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_00]: for example

[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Alex Thompson

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_00]: National political correspondent for Axios. He is also a CNN commentator and

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_00]: He was highlighting something two things that Donald Trump said one on his truth social platform and

[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_00]: another in an interview that he did with Time magazine back in April and

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_00]: First I will just give you these pieces of information and then you can decide and maybe guess

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Where Trump is saying the outrageous thing, okay? Alright, so first off. Let's go back to April

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Time magazine

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_00]: He says

[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Regarding the deportation of undocumented immigrants. He said he has no choice but to deport them

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_00]: He says I don't believe this is sustainable for a country

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_00]: What's happening to us with probably 15 million as many as 20 million by the time Biden is out

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_00]: 20 million people many of them from jails many of them from prisons many of them from mental institutions

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_00]: So that's the first piece of evidence that Alex Thompson from Axios and CNN has identified

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, number number one number two on his truth social platform

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_00]: He threatened to jail

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_00]: his adversaries

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_00]: including

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Democratic donors. Oh my gosh. Oh, this sounds awful like you so you donate money to a Democrat

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_00]: He's gonna throw you in jail. What did he say?

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, here's what he said quote when I win those people that cheated

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Which will include long-term prison sentences

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Please beware that this legal exposure extends to lawyers political operatives donors

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Illegal voters and corrupt election officials

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_00]: and cool

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_00]: So well, well if I was in studio, I would play my dun dun dun

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Sound bite because wait, but what's wrong with that?

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_00]: When I win those people that cheated will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Which will include long prison sentences

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Well right there he says prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_00]: So that would mean that you would have to be found guilty of

[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Right election fraud or cheating or something right?

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_00]: You would have to have broken some law and then he's saying if you if we

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Do find out that you were doing this stuff. We charge you you go to trial we convict you and

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna we're gonna seek the max. We're gonna send messages that you don't get to

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_00]: commit fraud and cheat in elections

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you

[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Very well played there John Mark. So right like that isn't that

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_00]: But isn't that the law?

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Why are you upset if people are being?

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Prosecuted and then convicted and then sent to jail because they were convicted

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Why would you be upset if people are found guilty to be?

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Engaged in cheating and fraud that they get convicted and sent to jail for it

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Are you saying that people should not be?

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_00]: charged if they're cheating or or committing fraud is

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Explain this to me Alex Thompson, please now he does though of course not but this doesn't make sense

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Unless of course you believe that it's not happening right which I went over this yesterday

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Right where it's that you get the stages the four stages. It's you know first. It's not happening

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_00]: That's the that's the first argument and then it's okay

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_00]: It is happening, but it's very very rare and

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_00]: then

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, it's happening and

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_00]: It may not be rare, but it doesn't affect anybody or it doesn't alter any outcomes

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_00]: And then the last one is okay. It is happening and here's why it's good

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_00]: These are the four steps and we're at and this is my frustration with voter ID laws and the arguments against the voter ID laws

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Because this was the same pattern over and over and over again

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Is that you end up and I would run through all four of these steps in every debate

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I would have with leftists who are opposed to voter ID

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is wildly popular like 70% of the public of the public supports voter ID laws

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_00]: So for some reason you always have to go through

[00:07:15] [SPEAKER_00]: the

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_00]: The same steps

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_00]: You got to start off with it's not happening. You got to show them that it's happening

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, okay. Well, it's not really a lot. It's so rare and it's okay. Well actually here are some cases where

[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_00]: It's current here and here and here. It's not actually terribly rare

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, fine, but it hasn't altered any outcomes like okay

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, actually there are a couple races that were decided by a coin toss in North Carolina last time because they was tied

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_00]: The votes were tied and if there was one voter fraud in that election that would have affected the outcome

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, so okay fine, but here's why it's a good thing

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Like and then they run away

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you don't hear from them again. Couple of us later. They're back in your Twitter feed

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Saying once again vote fraud doesn't happen election fraud doesn't happen

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you're you got to argue the same stuff over and over again

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Donald Trump is simply saying that if fraud occurs he will prosecute it and

[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_00]: The only reason why you would object to that is if you want fraud to occur

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_00]: What other explanation is there right? There's no other reason why you would be opposed to

[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Sending people who commit vote fraud to prison

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Are you saying that people who commit vote fraud and maybe impact elections and we're talking like if you got like

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Like ballot harvesting operations that kind of thing or you've got these

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_00]: NGOs and nonprofits that are doing massive registration campaigns and registering people who can't legally vote like illegal immigrants

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_00]: For example, and then they go vote

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Like they should be held responsible for that. No

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Isn't our democracy worth it

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_00]: David Strom at hot air comm

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_00]: He covered this story about

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Donald Trump saying we should jail people who are engaged in election fraud and cheating and

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_00]: He cited Alex Thompson from Axios and

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Alex Thompson's two pieces of evidence that you know, Donald Trump is going to try to jail all of his opponents

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_00]: when in fact he is talking about

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Drop in the hammer or throwing the book at

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_00]: People who engage in election fraud and cheating and honestly good

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Good

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Isn't that actually a way that you would protect our democracy? No

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_00]: If you're not going to enforce these laws then why have them right and if

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, okay, think of it this way. Why do police?

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_00]: set up

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_00]: extra speed

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Sorry

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_00]: enforcement actions

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_00]: On holiday weekends

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Why do they do that?

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_00]: All right, it's to try to encourage people with the threat

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_00]: that

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_00]: you know a ticket or

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Getting pulled over maybe even arrested if you're going really fast. All right, they will do speed enforcement

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_00]: efforts

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_00]: why

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Because the threat of being caught keeps people

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_00]: from breaking the law

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Right, they step up enforcement around DUIs. They do checkpoints and stuff

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_00]: So why shouldn't that same sort of approach apply to a targeted enforcement on election laws?

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_00]: right like hey everybody just a heads up if

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_00]: We catch you committing election fraud

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_00]: We are going to throw the book at you

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_00]: It seems to me like people who were the defenders of the democracy would be very

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_00]: interested in

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_00]: In that kind of hammer getting dropped

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Thompson though this reporter for Axios is apparently horrified that Donald Trump wants to jail election cheaters

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_00]: He makes the false claim that a friend election fraud allegations were debunked in 2020 and David Strom says that's simply not true

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Almost all challenges were never adjudicated with judges denying that people challenging the vote counts did not have standing

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_00]: In Georgia Trump's opponents are hiding the ball

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_00]: They want to destroy the evidence before it's ever examined and have have had to admit many errors in the process

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_00]: We don't know if there was cheating, but we sure haven't had an accounting as

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_00]: For cheating this year if it does exist and Trump then six the FBI on the cheaters

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I would assume that all right-thinking people would applaud that only people in favor of cheating would not

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_00]: It really is striking he says how triggered the left is by Donald Trump as

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_00]: The Democrats move heaven and earth to put Trump in jail for BS charges

[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_00]: They darkly warned that he might jail his political enemies

[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_00]: The truth is though. He only threatened to jail people trying to defraud the American people

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_00]: By committing election fraud

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Also

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_00]: It has been the Biden administration

[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_00]: weaponizing government and using law fair

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Strom says Trump is simply warning people that election cheaters are breaking the law and

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Unlike in times past when such behavior has been treated lightly

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_00]: He's gonna come down hard on it. In fact a

[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Specific

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Former prosecutor running for office should applaud this right?

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Unless of course you like the idea of

[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Massive voter fraud Thompson seems to think it is rampant

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_00]: He worries that people who commit vote fraud are so numerous that it would take a federal drag net to get them all

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Even I Strom says a skeptic of the fairness of elections

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Only suspect that a few hundred people would have to be jailed

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_00]: But Axios's national correspondent Alex Thompson seems to think that it's gonna be way more

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is kind of an interesting tell this is the thing about Trump and the Trump derangement syndrome that he has inspired

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Is that the mask has fallen off of so many people

[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Right he like he has either you know intentionally or just because of the way he behaves and what he says

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_00]: We now have a very clear understanding of

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_00]: People's motives and how they actually behave and what they actually believe

[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_00]: All right real quick

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_00]: There was a piece over at the blaze

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_00]: written by Patrick Casey who is a writer and host of

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Substack newsletter called restoring order and

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_00]: He was talking about whether or not

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Donald Trump is to blame for the decline of civility, right?

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_00]: and

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_00]: he

[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Quotes a New York Times podcast called the Daily

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is how you have to say it I believe for it to be a true like NPR New York Times kind of

[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_00]: podcast or broadcast and

[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_00]: They were walking around with some Kamala Harris door knocker and

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_00]: One of the people that

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Was like that opened up a door for the door knocker

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_00]: said that

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Donald Trump's rhetoric has definitely had a huge part in the the division of this country and the New York Times

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_00]: would agree

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Like its competitors

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Casey writes that the paper has made the same point in more than a few articles published since 2016

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_00]: This explanation also no doubt appeals to the readers of the New York Times as it absolves them of any wrongdoing

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_00]: And it places all the blame on Donald Trump public enemy number one

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Political disagreements are bound to arise in any country

[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_00]: What matters is how are they handled and that's where the civility comes into play

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_00]: According to the Cambridge Dictionary

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Which I'm not sure if they know what a woman is defined as but I digress Cambridge Dictionary defines the term politeness

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Or defines the term as politeness. Okay, so civility is politeness and that's a good start

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_00]: But civility in a political context is

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Something deeper it is the ability to agree to disagree

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Right that you and I have different political ideas and that's okay

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_00]: We can have a discussion. I'm not gonna call you names. You're not gonna call me names

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_00]: We have a difference of opinion about a political issue the American Bar Association

[00:18:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Did a survey?

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_00]: 2023 it's called the survey of civic literacy and in that survey

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_00]: respondents cited as

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_00]: The culprits for a decline in civility number one

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Social media 29% cited social media

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_00]: number two

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_00]: cited media in general

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_00]: That came in at 24% so right now you're already over half

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Over half of the respondents say social media or the media are to blame for the decline in civility

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Coming in at number three was public officials

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_00]: 19% in

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Politics is a factor, but it's not the only one

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_00]: All right liberals will point the finger at Donald Trump

[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_00]: However, if you look at some of the rhetoric that is directed towards the right

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Their rhetoric is far from angelic. He says

[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Consider the vitriol directed at whites for example and Christians and men and other groups deemed to be oppressors in recent years

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Right during the height of critical race theory stuff and all of that pull back and all those arguments

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_00]: All right

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_00]: There's clearly plenty of offensive speech to be found on both sides of the aisle what differentiates the two camps is

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_00]: That the left is maniacally obsessed with demolishing the right

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_00]: censorship

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Deplatforming lawfare

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Doxing shunning

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Firing people right these are all arrows in the left quiver

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Arrows that are almost always only aimed at conservatives in response now some to the right of center have adopted a

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Similarly combative approach. He says it's not uncommon to see conservatives call for the cancellation of say teachers who promote

[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_00]: radical gender ideology to kids

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_00]: So what's the difference?

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_00]: conservatives lack the

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Institutional power that is required to actually enforce those efforts those tactics

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Right the left has the institutional powers to do these things

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_00]: By declaring war on Donald Trump liberal elites declared war on civility itself

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_00]: You cannot in good faith weaponize the federal government and weaponize the mainstream media, which I don't like that term either it

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Corporate media or legacy media or as rush called it the drive-by media, which I still think is the best term

[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_00]: right you can't

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_00]: You can't weaponize the government and the media

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Against a president and his supporters and then turn around and blame them for an

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Increasingly uncivil political climate

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_00]: But that's where we are and that's what they will surely continue to do

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_00]: This has been abundantly clear civility is dependent on one thing and that is subservience only those who submit are to be treated fairly I

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Said I wonder

[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Does this have something to do with why all of a sudden dick Cheney is no longer a war criminal?

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Have you noticed that change like that was quite the rehabilitation of dick Cheney. That's pretty amazing, right?

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Like dick Cheney was for Trump and he was a war criminal for like 20 years

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Everybody on the left hated him. All right, they were like they're they try to like throw paint at the guy

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_00]: They wanted to arrest him. They would you know chain themselves trying to like put cuffs on him

[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_00]: They did all this stuff against him and then he said he wants Kamala Harris to win and

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Now all of a sudden he's like he's golden

[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_00]: That's amazing

[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, maybe that time we called you Hitler. Yeah good times man. Sorry about that

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_00]: So when I was a kid my grandpa died with Alzheimer's and before he died my mom and my dad and all of us really helped take care of them

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_00]: As he got progressively worse 40 years ago

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_00]: There were no treatments and not much support for caregivers and family

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Things are different today because of the work of so many people including the Alzheimer's Association of Western North Carolina

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a great organization with awesome people. They've got huge hearts

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I've been a supporter for like 25 years. This cause means a lot to me

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I participate in the annual walk to end Alzheimer's and I am leading a Charlotte team this year

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_00]: It's called Pete's pack you can sign up and join the team and walk with me

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_00]: It's on October 19th at truest field in uptown sign up at ALZ.org

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Slash walk and then just look for my team Pete's pack and there's also a link in the podcast description here

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Also, I'm gonna be emceeing the Gastonia walk on October 5th

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_00]: So make a team and join us or make a donation to help me hit my goal. I would really appreciate it

[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_00]: There are a bunch of other walks around the Carolinas and you can go to ALZ.org

[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_00]: For all of the dates and locations we are closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer's

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_00]: And if you can help us get there, we would really appreciate it

[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Will you come walk with me for a different future for families for more time for treatments?

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_00]: This is why I walk

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_00]: All right, so I

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Got an email from Dennis

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_00]: To Pete at the Pete Callaner show comm

[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_00]: He says for

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Democrats to be in a fit over Donald Trump wanting to arrest election lawbreakers

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Just reveals once again their own modus operandi. I believe that is French. No, I'm kidding

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_00]: MO it's their MO that is first to be the ones who create a problem and then second blame the

[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Republicans or Trump for that matter for the problems that they created and then third claim that they are going to solve the problem

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, the one they created

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_00]: It seems to be what Kamala will expose tonight. Yeah. Well, I mean the

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_00]: The immigration debate the border debate is a pretty good example of that one too

[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Create the problem

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Deny that there's a problem attack anybody who says there's a problem and then

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_00]: When someone comes along to try to you know solve the problem

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_00]: You try to thwart those efforts and then say I will solve the problem

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm the reason why the problem will get solved

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_00]: This is remember there was an old co-worker of mine Mark Thomas used to be a producer for the Keith Larson show

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_00]: but I worked with them down here in Rock Hill too and I think Mark was the first one who had said to me

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_00]: something along the lines of that the antidote is

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_00]: developed in the same lab as the virus and

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_00]: It's it's hard to deny that you know

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Let me see here. This is from

[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Seth I think Trump should get in on get it on the record during the debate

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Whether or not Kamala condemns the assassination attempt on his life and I mean go in-depth about the entire subject

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean that's gonna be a problem. I think for Trump is that he doesn't really go in-depth on really anything

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_00]: He's kind of a high level kind of guy, you know, he's he's up there at like the 20,000 foot level

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm seeing now also where

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Melania Trump has put an ad out or she's in an ad have you seen this she's in an ad and

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_00]: She's demanding answers and

[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_00]: transparency

[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_00]: From the US government about why her husband was shot

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_00]: she wants answers and

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_00]: CNN

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Political commentator Maria Cardona who was a longtime Democrat operative served as a senior advisor to Hillary Clinton's

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_00]: 2008 presidential campaign, but now she's totally an unbiased journalist over at CNN because it's different when Democrats

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Do it anyway? She's a she's saying that this is

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_00]: That Melania Trump

[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_00]: And her call for answers

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_00]: This is irrelevant

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_00]: And I would just point out like I'm old enough to remember

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_00]: When the media was demanding to know where Melania was

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Where's Melania? Oh, I haven't seen her notice that Donald Trump is at all of these things and Melania is not there

[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I guess she's getting ready to file for divorce. Yeah, she's gonna drop his butt. Oh, yeah and

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Then Melania pops up in an ad saying hey

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Why what's the deal who like

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_00]: What happened with the whole assassination attempt on my husband like they tried to kill him

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Could I get some answers as to how that happened wherever the failures and what's being done now?

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_00]: And they're like shut up Melania. Nobody wants to hear from you like this is like

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Just a couple of weeks ago. They were noting her her her absence and now all of a sudden it's

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Now it's shut up now, let's go away. We don't want to hear from you. It's almost like it's not in good faith

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_00]: It's almost as if

[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_00]: We got an update

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Also, I'm gonna get into go in depth a little bit more on this in the next hour

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is that the North Carolina State Board of Elections?

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_00]: has put out an update on

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_00]: the absentee

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_00]: balloting

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_00]: because you may have heard that the state Supreme Court

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_00]: in a partisan ruling along or a ruling along partisan lines was that

[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Robert F Kennedy juniors name has to be removed from the North Carolina ballots and they were in the middle of being printed and

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_00]: So now the Board of Elections has to reprint all the ballots to take RFK juniors name off the ballots

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously outrage has ensued this is all the Republicans trying to hand the state to Donald Trump

[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Which sort of gives away the game there a little bit, right?

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_00]: That Democrats want RFK to stay on the ballot because they believe it's going to hurt Trump and that's probably true

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_00]: You know voters that are still voting for RFK junior would probably otherwise vote for Trump because the ones that would have voted

[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_00]: For anybody besides Trump. They've already left

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_00]: all the RFK junior

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_00]: supporters

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_00]: That were you know double haters they hate Biden they hate Trump

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_00]: They've all now migrated back over to Kamala Harris to the Democrat Party

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And so Democrats think they have an advantage with RFK on the ballot

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_00]: So they want them to stay and so the Board of Elections may have

[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Slow walked it just a little bit in order to miss the deadline and the state Supreme Court called them out on it

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_00]: So now outrage ensues. All right, that'll do it for this episode
