[00:00:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And as we do on Wednesdays at 1, we head to Western North Carolina when Mark Starling joins us. Morning Guy, WWNC. Mark, how are you, sir?

[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Good, Pete. How's things?

[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_01]: They're okay. Like, I have not jabbed any pencils into my eyeballs from the DNC coverage so far. So I got that going for me.

[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_02]: That is a plus. I spent some time watching it last night and then felt the need to bathe directly afterwards. But aside from that, you know...

[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_01]: So of the speeches that you saw, and we'll throw in the first night as well, of the first two nights, what have been your favorite speeches?

[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And you can take, when I say favorite, you can take that to be a sarcastic favorite or you can take that as your actual favorite.

[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow. That's, I mean, you've really kind of thrown down the gauntlet question there. You know, I have to think the infernal screeching of AOC may have been one of my favorites.

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Also, I mean, how could we disregard the 178 and a half seconds that Kamala Harris spoke on the first night of the convention?

[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, really just a stellar performance there.

[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Right. Well, I mean, it is only appropriate to provide some kind of a eulogy, even if it is only two minutes long or so.

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_01]: But, yeah, I mean, for the guy that you whacked or benefited from the whacking, I think it's only proper.

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I guess the part of it that has been so hard for me to square in my head is, you know, if we go back like six weeks ago,

[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_02]: the policies were working, they were fantastic.

[00:02:21] [SPEAKER_02]: They've never seen results like this.

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, by the way, did you happen to see the latest headline that popped about the job numbers?

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I did.

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, geez, you hate to see that when they now they've admitted that they were cooking the books.

[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_02]: So, but, you know, I guess what's hard for me to square is if the policies were working, this guy is doing great.

[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_02]: The polls are not to be believed.

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Joe's going to trounce Trump.

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, then how is it that Kamala has to fix the country?

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm hmm.

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't understand that part, because if all the policies are working, then there's really nothing to fix.

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, yeah, they're caught.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I was saying earlier, they are caught in this this jam of trying to tell us that Kamala was a vital partner in creating all of the awesomeness of the Biden administration,

[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_01]: while at the same time that things are really bad right now.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_01]: She's going to correct the course.

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_01]: She's going to fix the grocery prices.

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_01]: She's going to do all of these things that she apparently was unable to do under St. Joe Biden's administration.

[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know what this has also caused, and I didn't realize that this was actually a thing,

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_02]: but I saw an article yesterday where CNN was actually fact-checking the debate or fact-checking the convention.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And they actually called out all of Biden's lies during his portion of the speech and all the lies that were, you know,

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_02]: led up to the Joe Biden portion of the speech.

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And I was just kind of dumbfounded.

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_02]: There was like three pages of them.

[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_01]: That CNN did?

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I can only figure, Pete, that CNN's website was hacked.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_01]: It's possible.

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's really, it's called CNN fact-checking the DNC was the title of the article.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And there was, gosh, there was three screenfuls.

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, but how did they, right, but how did they, how did they rate these, quote, fact-checks?

[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Was it all just lies or did they say, so-and-so said this thing, you know, like Joe Biden said that, you know,

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Charlottesville, find good people or find people on both sides?

[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_02]: That one was actually mentioned.

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_02]: They actually went back and said, no, this was, you know, this was disproven.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Which is weird because it was not true.

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_01]: And we knew that seven years ago.

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I, well, I, listen, now I think you're splitting hair, Pete.

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe so.

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe so.

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I think you're getting a little persnickety with this and the details.

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, it's not like there was like video and audio of Trump saying the thing that he said

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_01]: that would disprove what Joe Biden says Trump said.

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah.

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And that was part of Biden's entire origin story.

[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's been hammering away at this for the last, what, six years?

[00:05:08] [SPEAKER_02]: At least.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, I'm beginning to believe that maybe the Axios website was hacked as well.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Because this morning they had a fact check of all of Tim Walsh's statements.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a liar.

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_01]: You got to, when, anytime you mention, when, anytime you say Tim Walsh, you have to also

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_01]: throw in who is a liar.

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Tim Walsh was a liar.

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Literally this latest one about the only reason he has a family is because of IVF.

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Like what?

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Why would you lie about something like that?

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Because, so, so I have a couple, so number one, because it was politically expedient to

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_01]: do so.

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_01]: But more importantly, he knows that there's no repercussions for doing so.

[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah.

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Or at least there wasn't.

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, I mean, granted, is anybody actually going to read the Axios article about the fact

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_02]: checking of Tim Walsh?

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think so.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, but it was surprising to see those articles there.

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And arguably the information in it is, you know, pretty full page on all the different

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_02]: things that he has said and all the different misrepresentations and all of the, you know,

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I was just kind of like, wow, I wonder, I wonder what's going on.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, but I, well, so here's the thing.

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I, like, Axios.com, I pulled the same article that you read.

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Headline.

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Tim Walsh's words have been getting him in trouble for years.

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the headline.

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_01]: So as if this thing is happening to him, like, oh, my words, they've done this thing to me,

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_01]: you know?

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And then, well, if it had been Trump, it would have been like after having tea with Satan,

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Donald Trump's words came back to bite him.

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Without evidence and all of the little adjectives.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_01]: So here's how they, because I highlighted in the piece here, I highlighted how they describe

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_01]: this.

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_01]: So they say Tim Walsh's, who's a liar, his own words are tripping him up.

[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_01]: That was one way they said it.

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, his tendency to misspeak or make inaccurate or inconsistent public comments,

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_01]: misstating his military rank.

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And then they say that in one news cycle in 2006, repeated false state, he repeated false

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_01]: statements.

[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Because that's what all of this is.

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_01]: He lied about a whole bunch of stuff.

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_01]: The guy is a congenital liar.

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And they have to kind of dress it up by calling it misspeak.

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_01]: He used a commonly understood shorthand for fertility treatments.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_01]: That's what they're saying about him saying that he and his wife used IVF.

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_01]: They did not use IVF.

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_01]: They used what?

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_01]: An IUI, which is different.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Different.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And, like, why would you say that?

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And, like, well, it was a shorthand thing.

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, people have more understanding of IVF.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but it's not the same procedure.

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not the same thing.

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And so you clouding the public's mind with this information is a lie.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not applicable.

[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_02]: That's like saying that a killer ceased someone from living instead of saying that they killed

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_02]: someone, right?

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, and here you go.

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_01]: And this is from the spokesperson that spoke to Axios because, you know, neither one of the

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_01]: candidates actually speak to the news.

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_01]: So here's Governor Walz.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_01]: People appreciate that Governor Walz, who's a liar, tells it like it is and doesn't talk like

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_01]: a politician.

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And they appreciate the difference between someone who occasionally misspeaks and a pathological

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_01]: liar like Donald Trump.

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_01]: See?

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_01]: So our guy just, he's not a politician.

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't speak like a politician.

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_01]: He just occasionally misspeaks like we all do versus Donald Trump, who's a pathological

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_01]: liar.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_02]: It's funny how those words do have meanings.

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, hey, and before I forget, there is, I think we have to, I think we have to call

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_02]: out a special honorable mention for the DNC so far.

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_02]: That would be the group of ladies that opened the convention yesterday with the national

[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_02]: anthem.

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_02]: God bless them.

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Awful.

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_02]: God bless those ladies.

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean.

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely awful.

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, from what I understand, all of them have gone into alcohol treatment.

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Which is what happens after you mangle the Star Spangled Banner as badly as they did.

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Just ask Roseanne.

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_02]: She'll tell you.

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_01]: What was the country music star who just did it like a couple weeks ago at the All-Star

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_01]: game?

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know her name.

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I had never even heard of her name before, and then I watched it, and I was like, I don't

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_02]: think we're going to hear her name again, to be honest with you.

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's pretty much the end of that career.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I will say, checking yourself into rehab immediately afterwards, even if you

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_01]: were not drunk or have a drinking problem at all, that is the right PR move.

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, and it's very on brand for Democrats because they're used to taking resources

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_02]: that actual people need and keeping them for themselves.

[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's...

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Like the housing.

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Like Michelle Obama's three houses.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, I thought it was really rich that Bernie Sanders was talking about, you

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_02]: know, billionaires.

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_02]: And then the guy that spoke directly after him, Governor Pritzker, his net worth, $3.5

[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_02]: billion.

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_02]: So there's that.

[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_01]: He's...

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_01]: On the...

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_01]: One guy gets up there and bashes billionaires, although because he can't bash millionaires

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_01]: anymore because Bernie is himself now a millionaire.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Correct.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_01]: So he can't bash the millionaires as he used to.

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Now he goes after the billionaires.

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And immediately after him, the very next speaker is Pritzker, who bragged about being an actual

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_01]: billionaire as opposed to Donald Trump.

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Like...

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it was...

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm actually wearing a neck brace this morning because my neck is so sore from the whiplash

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_02]: back and forth.

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_02]: So follow that.

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_01]: That's it.

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I know you'll be watching some of it tonight, as will I.

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Mark, I appreciate your time, buddy.

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Good to hear from you.

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And we'll talk with you next week.

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_01]: You got it, Pete.

[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Take care.

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I have some breaking news.

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Joe Biden on his Twitter account, quote, what is better than one triple thick black and

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_01]: white milkshake after a convention speech?

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_01]: A second to share with a friend.

[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Whoa.

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my God.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_03]: What?

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_03]: What?

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Who got that?

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Who did that?

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_03]: You did that.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_03]: This is a restaurant in Delaware.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_03]: I was going to.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Where are you going to go?

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's where you're in high school.

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I think that's where I'm going to go.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, the charcoal.

[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_01]: They're the best triple thick black and white milkshakes.

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_01]: There you go.

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and he's with, oh, he's with Kamala.

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_03]: And Paul.

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Emendorf.

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Emendorf.

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, they're drinking a milkshake together.

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, they're drinking a milkshake together.

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, look at that.

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Now you're up to date.

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_01]: The president still likes ice cream.

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_01]: In case that was in doubt.

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, also the U.S.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Added about 800,000 fewer jobs than they told us that they had when they've been telling us

[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_01]: how great everything is for the last year.

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Apparently that was a bit of an overestimation of the jobs that were actually created.

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_01]: It was far, far, far fewer.

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of lies, Tim Walls, the governor of Minnesota, as we were going over with Mark

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Starling there moments ago, the Axios story, Minnesota Governor Tim Walls' own words are

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_01]: tripping him up as he transitions to the national stage.

[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_01]: To close observers back home, his tendency to misspeak or make inaccurate or inconsistent

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_01]: public comments may sound familiar.

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Walls' rise from a largely under-the-radar governor to a vice presidential candidate has

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_01]: put the Minnesota Democrats' record and statements under new intensified scrutiny.

[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_01]: All of this stuff just happening to poor old Tim.

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Folksy Tim.

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_01]: This week, Walls' family members said their efforts to start a family were not, in fact,

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_01]: aided by IVF as previous statements and coverage indicated.

[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_01]: So his statements, his prior statements indicated that they had gotten their kids via IVF.

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that people, I think people jumped to this conclusion that it was indicated because

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_01]: he literally said that.

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_01]: That's why I think people believe that that's how they got pregnant.

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Since joining the Democrat ticket, Walls, who's a liar, has been criticized for misstating

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_01]: his military rank at retirement and saying he carried weapons of war in war when he was

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_01]: never actually deployed to a war.

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_01]: He also faced a fresh news cycle over the repeated false statements his 2006 congressional

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_01]: campaign made about his arrest back in 1995 on suspicion of driving under the influence.

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_01]: He said that he had that he wasn't drunk at the time.

[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_01]: He couldn't hear the officer's commands or something.

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_01]: And that wasn't true either.

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_01]: That was just a flat out lie.

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Tim Walls has been lying about stuff like this his entire career.

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_01]: These aren't misstatements and these things aren't tripping him up.

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_01]: These this is not something that has happened to him.

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_01]: This is what he has said and done himself.

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go over and chat with Tony.

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Hello, Tony.

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to the show.

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Pete, how are you doing today?

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, I'm good.

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_01]: What's going on?

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Good.

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Just watching this insanity.

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_00]: That is the Democrat National Convention.

[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_00]: And I can't wait to see when she enters in tomorrow or whatever night she comes in.

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Reminds me of remember that movie Gladiator when Commodus comes back in and one of the senators

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_00]: like he enters Rome like a conquering hero.

[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Mm hmm.

[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Conquered.

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Mm hmm.

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_00]: That's hard to teach.

[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_00]: What is she exactly done and accomplished here?

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't even watch it in its entirety last night.

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Watching all these state delegations probably violate their own state guidelines and constitutions

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_00]: by nominating her with no electoral process whatsoever.

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, they well, they did it last night.

[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Wasn't even the actual nomination because they've already they already did that.

[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_01]: They did that like two weeks ago.

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_01]: They did it on a Zoom call.

[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_01]: So this was just theater last night.

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_00]: And it was it was it was disturbing to watch, actually, with who they chose to speak and

[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_00]: everything.

[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're not representing anybody in this country other than a very small portion

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_00]: of it.

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_01]: No, Tony, don't believe that.

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_01]: That that is not the case.

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_01]: There are a great number of people that they represent.

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's actually the more disturbing part, almost as disturbing as the folks out in front

[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_01]: of the DNC with the abortion vasectomy van celebrating that they killed 10 babies yesterday

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_01]: on the first day of the convention.

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm just waiting for them to pull that van into the arena itself, maybe make it a

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_01]: permanent kind of a structure in, you know, then you'd obviously have to take the top

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_01]: of the van off so people could see it, maybe put like a bed down so everybody could see the

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_01]: actual ritual occur.

[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that that's going to get closer to what they're they're aiming at.

[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Tony, I appreciate the call.

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_01]: See, that's the thing, though.

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to watch it.

[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm watching it for you.

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_01]: What otherwise?

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_01]: What am I even doing?

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I don't have to watch that.

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I had way other better things to do.

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Like I had an HOA meeting to go to last night.

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, come on.

[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_01]: That's axios.com.

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_01]: The campaign has since updated online references to Tim Walls, who's a liar, to his rank at retirement

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_01]: and said that he, quote, misspoke at a 2018 event in which he referenced carrying weapons

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_01]: of war in war, despite the fact that he was never in a combat zone.

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Walls was, quote, using commonly understood shorthand for fertility treatments when he

[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_01]: previously discussed IVF, according to a campaign spokesperson.

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_01]: That's why he lied about he and his wife using IVF.

[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_01]: They did not use IVF, but he was just using commonly understood shorthand for fertility treatments.

[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_01]: He used something called IUI, which works differently.

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_01]: And in fact, stands for intrauterine insemination, which does not include using or throwing away

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_01]: frozen embryos.

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's a kind of different process.

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And by kind of, I mean totally different process.

[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Without any of the ethical concerns surrounding IVF.

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_01]: In the midst of the 2020 uprising over the police killing of George Floyd, Governor Walls, who's

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_01]: a liar, was one of several lawmakers who had to walk back unsubstantiated claims that the

[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_01]: vast majority of the looting and burning was done by people from outside of Minnesota.

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_01]: In other words, he lied, right?

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_01]: He lied and then had to, quote, walk it back.

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_01]: This is the kind of framing you get when you're a Democrat.

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_01]: This is one of the it's a Democrat privilege is that you get to lie and then the media will

[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_01]: frame it as just simply misspeaking stuff that happened to you.

[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Like all these words that I said, they're being used against me.

[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Woe is me.

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_01]: You're the victim for what you've said, obviously, because arrest records showed his assertion

[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_01]: when he said it, that 80 percent of people looting and burning were from outside of Minnesota.

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_01]: And then they pulled the data and they were like, actually, that's not true at all.

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_01]: So then he had to, quote, walk it back.

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_01]: In other words, acknowledge that what he said was not true.

[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_01]: But then he also that wasn't the only thing he walked back.

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_01]: He had to walk back claims.

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_01]: About an after action report, a covid after action report.

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_01]: He said that after covid, after the pandemic, when he locked everybody down and he set up

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_01]: a snitch line for people to rat out their neighbors who were, you know, walking around

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_01]: without a mask or like leaving their homes.

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_01]: He said, we're we're going to release a covid after action report and it will be the playbook

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_01]: for future administrations and future Minnesotans.

[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_01]: So Axios asked for a copy of that several months later.

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_01]: And his staff had to, quote, walk back the claims.

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And said there isn't a, quote, specific document.

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_01]: OK, so when he said they're going to release an after action report, that would be the playbook.

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_01]: There actually is no after action report.

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_01]: There is no document.

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So he's walking back the claim.

[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_01]: In May of this year, he told reporters that he had been texting late into the night about

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_01]: an infrastructure spending deal.

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_01]: When Axios asked for copies under the state's public records law, his spokesperson said that

[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_01]: the governor misspoke and that such texts did not exist.

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_01]: So he just made up a story about texting late into the night about the infrastructure bill.

[00:21:27] Hmm.

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Making up a story about something that that seems a little bit more than just misspeaking.

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a fabulist.

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_01]: He right.

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Or fabulist, if you will.

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_01]: But he makes up stories.

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_01]: He conjures up stories.

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Out of thin air, just makes them up.

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_01]: That is what you call a liar.

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Former President Trump is such a fountain of exaggerations and mistruths that media outlets

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_01]: have built fact checking efforts around covering him.

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And then there's the quote from the spokesperson for Governor Walz, who's a liar, saying that

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Governor Walz speaks the way real people speak and often off the cuff.

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so do you just make up stories about texting people about stuff when you never texted them?

[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Shouldn't you be asking for more from your elected leaders?

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Isn't that what Democrats have been asking us in their convention, that we should be demanding

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_01]: a higher standard?

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_01]: See, this is why I don't believe anything that Democrats say is because they're liars about

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_01]: this stuff.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_01]: They do not hold these standards for themselves.

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_01]: They do not hold themselves to these standards.

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And the proof was Joe Biden.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_01]: After spending four years bashing Trump as all of these things, this parade of horribles,

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_01]: right, saying he's a liar and they have like their fact checking operations about it.

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_01]: They went and nominated Joe Biden, who, like Governor Walz, is a congenital liar as well.

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Would just make up stories, made up so many stories through the course of his career.

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_01]: He was a joke on Capitol Hill, even inside his own party.

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And then, of course, the narrative crafting begins and we are all to believe, much like

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_01]: we are supposed to believe now about Kamala, that she is the second coming of Barack Obama.

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't buy any of it, nor should you.

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Got a message from, let me read through some of the messages.

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Alan says, Pete, give it up.

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_01]: You can't shame a good Democrat.

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not, okay, I don't cover all of Tim Walz's lies because I'm trying to shame Democrats.

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Again, I recognize that the charge of hypocrisy carries no purchase.

[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_01]: There's no downside to being a hypocrite in politics anymore.

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not saying it for that reason.

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I bring it to you so you are aware of it.

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_01]: So you've heard the information in case you hadn't heard all of the different lies he's told.

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Now you've heard some of them.

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And maybe you, too, will be able to reference some of the lies when you get into conversations

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_01]: with people who talk about how great Tim Walz is and how Donald Trump is a liar or something.

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_01]: And you could point out, well, Tim Walz actually has a very long history of lying in public office

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_01]: as well.

[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_01]: John says, on the DNC vasectomies, I support the people giving out vasectomies at the DNC.

[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Anything that keeps those people from breeding is a good thing.

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_01]: That's, yes, the jokes do write themselves there.

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Where did the term progressive originate to describe a bunch of idiots whose policies only seem to progress to abject failure and socialism?

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Why do conservatives and moderates continue to use the terminology to describe them?

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_01]: The term progressive goes back to, what, now 100 years ago plus.

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And it came from the Marxism school of thought and ideology.

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's what they called themselves, progressive.

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And then, of course, progressive got a bad name because when people realized, like, what actually you're doing,

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_01]: like the eugenics and the forced vasectomies, not at the DNC.

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Those are voluntary at this point.

[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_01]: But at some point they probably will become forced.

[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_01]: The sterilization project in North Carolina, for example.

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Planned Parenthood's creation.

[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_01]: All of those things come from Woodrow Wilson, progressive.

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Teddy Roosevelt, progressive.

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's not strictly limited to the Democrat Party or to liberalism because, remember, liberal used to mean something else, too.

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_01]: 150 years ago, liberal meant a classic liberal.

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_01]: That word got co-opted and corrupted.

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Progressive, too, was then used.

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_01]: That then was ditched for liberal.

[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Liberal then became co-opted, corrupted, and became a bit of a drag on their brand.

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And so now you hear them using progressive again.

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a – because they don't want to actually have to describe what it is that they are advocating.

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_01]: And what they are advocating is various forms of, yes, socialism, which is beyond – Marxism is beyond some sort of economic plan or economic theory.

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_01]: It's way more than that.

[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_01]: My view on it is that it is a religion.

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It has all the hallmarks of a religion.

[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And it always has.

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_01]: So when people subscribe to that particular faith, it's just like any other faith.

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_01]: There's like cafeteria followers, if you will.

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_01]: They pick and choose certain parts of the faith that they like, you know?

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And they bypass the other ones.

[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, oh, no, I'm going carb-free.

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_01]: So it doesn't matter to me what these terms are.

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Conservatives use the term progressive because I think it actually is closer to, like, the roots of that movement and that ideology, that faith,

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_01]: than the term liberal.

[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Because it's anything but.

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_01]: But different generations have different ideas about what those words mean.

[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_01]: People who are older than me probably find liberal to be more of a slur.

[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_01]: A conservative would use the term liberal more than progressive.

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And, I don't know, people just hear it differently.

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_01]: But it all means the same thing.

[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just a rebrand.

[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Dennis says, thanks for watching the circus last night for us.

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_01]: You are a real trooper.

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_01]: As far as Michelle's plan to make America a much brighter place, she's going to do it by gaslighting the hell out of us.

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_01]: That's one way to make it brighter.

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's see here.

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_01]: This is Tim.

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Tim, thank you, thank you, thank you for watching the convention so I would not have to.

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought I would watch and take a drink every time I heard a lie.

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was poo-faced after about five minutes.

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_01]: So I turned the channel before I had to puke.

[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_01]: There you go.

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Very colorful description there, Tim.

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Matt says, after hearing clips from the Obama speeches last night, it reminds me of the thing I hated about them the most for their eight years in office.

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_01]: That is, their constant slaying of straw men to make their arguments.

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Nearly every single point they make is some version of, some say we'll never do this or do that, followed by, but we believe in a different kind of America.

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And then the call to action is always vote for Democrats, right, or their preferred candidate.

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_01]: The tactic is so tired and thoroughly dishonest, it's pathetic, really.

[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_01]: But that's the thing.

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_01]: It is delivered so well that people become transfixed.

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And when it's your team doing it, the chanting of Obama, Obama, yes we can, right?

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_01]: And something happens in those crowds.

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_01]: It's the power of a mob and people get swept up in it.

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_01]: And if you've got a really good speaker, and Obama is a very good public speaker,

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_01]: and I think that's the reason why people don't recognize it.

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Because, like, what was her name, Kathy Huckle, I think is how she pronounces it, the governor of New York.

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely awful.

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Just a terrible public speaker.

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And she could not do the same thing.

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, she could not, she would not have the kind of success with the same script that Barack Obama has.

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_01]: All right, that'll do it for this episode.

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for listening.

[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I could not do the show without your support and the support of the businesses that advertise on the podcast.

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_01]: So if you'd like, please support them too and tell them you heard it here.

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_01]: You can also become a patron at my Patreon page or go to thepetecalendorshow.com.

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Again, thank you so much for listening.

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_01]: And don't break anything while I'm gone.

[00:30:09] Thank you.
