Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
From the most trusted journalist at Comedy Central's America's only
sorts for news.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
That's the Daily Choice. With your Holy Show doing welcome,
(00:46):
Let's just talk about how am I to show? Please? Please?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
How was every how is everybody doing? Wow?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
What all a terrible walking week? Hey? John, come back
to the Daily Show just to the election. It'll be fine.
You'll do one day week. You'll be alarm. What would
go wrong? Obviously, we were supposed to be doing our shows.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
From Milwaukee for the RNC this week, but because of
the attempt on the former president's life, our venue, the
venue in which we planned to this show is a theater,
which was originally located in the soft perimeter they called
it security wise, was shifted understandably so to the hard perimeter.
(01:45):
They called it the hard perimeter. You really don't want
to be in the hard perimeter. It was locked down.
They built cages around the theater, and because of that,
we felt that we cannot logistically put on the theater
shows effectively without.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
People. But I do want to say to the city
of Milwaukee.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
The Mayor of Milwaukee could not have been more accommodating
to the show more gracious to us. We thank you
so much. I do hope that we will be able
to come back to Milwaukee. We really do want to
come back at some point and make up some of
the events we had planned, especially our in Dog Decisions.
(02:34):
We get dogs adopted and people registered to vote, or
or it's the other way around. I don't really, I
don't remember. But as always, the biggest slice of praise
is reserved for our production team and crew.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
They turned this ocean line all around on the dine
on a dime. It is a big.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Production to take a show like this on the road
on short notice. Our crap production team and our crew
got us back to New York City, rejiggered all the
things in the studio to get us ready to do
a program this very Tuesday night. It's remarkable work, and
I just want to thank.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
The remarkable remarkable.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
All right, But even though we are not in Milwaukee,
last night was night one of the RNC, and obviously,
after what happened this weekend, there was a clear theme
going in.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Obviously right now, unity is a theme that we need
to be focused on.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I think that we're going to hear a lot of
unifying top speeches.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
We got to create some unity.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
The vitriol and the hatred it needs to stop.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
We shall bring the temperature down.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Let's turn this moment into a moment that helps us
down that path of healing and unity.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
That that is Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. He is
known as a particularly divisive, divisive or whoever you want to.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Pronounce that, a divisive figure.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
So to hear that healing rhetoric coming from Ron Johnson
is impressive.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I for one, look forward to hearing his unifying remarks
on the convention floor today's Democrat agenda.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Their policies are a clear and pressing danger to America.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I'm sorry, I guess he's what's known as unity in
the streets, divisive in the sheets.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
But to be fair, to be fair, and I want
to be fair in this new environment.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Senator Johnson did not mean to stoke anger his teleprompter did.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
What he wanted loaded in the prompture was that we
needed a somber moment in history. We should heed President
Trump's call to unite, to be strong, to be determined,
We must heal. He said, I don't know how the
other one got in there and screwed up the teleprompter,
but again he went ahead and read it.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
What a douchebag. Sorry, I didn't mean to say that
that was in my teleprompter. I apologize.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Rogue teleprompters weren't the only ones having trouble adjusting to
the Republican's new tone. One particularly fiery member of Congress
struggled mightily as her body rejected the unity theme.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
As though it were transplanted like a monkey heart.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
The founding father of the America First Movement, Donald John Trump,
make America successful again, wealthy again, the country we deserve.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
She knows she's making that noise, right, Okay? Oh? Is
that is that the noise she makes?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
When the interior monologue is going, Marjorie, there's gonna be
plenty of time to talk about satanic democrats.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Just keep it in, Marjorie. Just I just oh, this
is this is hard to do.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
But perhaps the weirdest moment of last night was the
RNC looked like it was turning into the DNC. One
of its featured speakers was Amber Rose, founder of the
La Slut Walk and a sex positive pro choice internet celebrity.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're black, white, gay,
or straight.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
It's all love. It's all love. It's love.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
You just better hope oh that love doesn't lead to
an eck topic of pregnancy, because ah, the guys know
what I'm talking about. They're failing that in the old
Filippian tubes over. But the moment that really felt like
(07:43):
the DNC had snuck into the RNC was when Sean O'Brien,
the president of the Teamsters union and apparently Rob Qudrey Dppelganger,
came up to the lectern.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Come on, Codrey, it's an honor to be the first
Teamster and our one and only one year history to
address the Republican National Convention.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
The crowd went crazy until he began to tell them
what he thinks.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Legal protections that make it safer for workers to get.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
A contract, trade policies that put American workers first.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Label law must be reformed.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Companies fireworkers who try to join unions and hide behind
toothless laws that are meant to protect working people but
are manipulated to benefit corporations.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
The to where are the chairs on the Florida Conversion Yes,
apparently Republicans are pro worker now in pro union. Somebody
tells all the Republican governors who passed right to work
anti union laws in their states, and all the Republican
appointed judges who made it easier to break unions, and
Donald Trump himself who helped kill a bill that would
have protected unions, they are going to be some best.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Of course.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
The main event from last night was the crowning of
Donald Trump's MAGA movement.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Air Apparent.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
No, not that guy, No the here you go, the
other dark haired, bearded dude right in front of that one.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Jd Vance. I gotta tell you something, man, that ain't right.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
It's like for Vice President Donald selected the actor who
would be hired to play Don Junior in the lifetime.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It's not right. It's like Don Junior was the beta
version that had to have some kingsmort doubt.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
He's the default avatar in the video game, and the
Donald Trump Senior adjusted the pretty eyes and charisma sliders
up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Sixty six intelligence.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
And then it was time for Donald Trump's big entrance.
The Great Lee Greenwood did the honors with a rousing rendition.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Of God Bless the USA.
Speaker 9 (09:59):
Doubt Who's to be the next President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Rare works, this station based on faith, rare work, because
he was sure.
Speaker 9 (10:13):
As Donald Trump turned his head just slightly that the
bullet missed.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Him just enough. You know what, I'm sorry. We're gonna
have to skip ahead just a little bit. None of
the side pattern, if you could. The Great Lake Greenwood
introducing Donald Trump. Here we go.
Speaker 9 (10:31):
We have believed for so long that God will make
some changes in this country, and he's about to make
a change in the current administration and send them home.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Thank you everybody for being here.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Just he get to it.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
The man is wearing a time release ear sav for
God's sakes, help for.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
Our veterans, and God bless our military wherever they are.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And they see United States and abroad.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
The lady, please welcome the next president of the United States.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
They cut him off.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Is it is it possible to bring out another band
to play a band off?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
But then finally Donald Trump himself.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Arrived, waving to his adoring crowd, and then went to
sit down and what can only be described as some
sort of chair trap.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh what's that ahead? Oh well that's what that being back?
What the hell mean?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
While back at the back cave, Joe Biden was sitting
down with NBC News anchor Lester Holt to answer questions
about what he would do to cool our nation's overheated rhetoric.
Speaker 10 (11:58):
But have you taking a step back and done a
little soul searching on things that you may have said
that could incite people who are not balanced?
Speaker 11 (12:09):
How do you talk about the threat to democracy which
is real when a president says things like he says,
do you just not say an him? He's a man,
incite somebody. My opponent's engaged.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
That rhetoric he.
Speaker 11 (12:21):
Talks about to be a bloodbath if he loses, Like
remember the picture of Donald Trump one Nancy Pelosi's husband's
hip of the hammer going talking about joking about it.
Speaker 10 (12:32):
This doesn't sound like you're turning down the heat, though.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
He's telling you what the other guy had been saying.
I was supposed to discuss the temperature of the rhetoric.
If you're not allowed to mention the rhetoric. It became
clear that Biden was ready to turn it down for everybody.
Speaker 10 (12:50):
But Lesterholt, are you seeing what they saw, which was
moments of frankly that appeared to be you appeared to
be confused.
Speaker 11 (13:00):
Lester, Look why don't you guys ever talk about the
eighteen twenty eight lies?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
He told, where are you from?
Speaker 12 (13:08):
This?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
All shit? Seriously, you won't answer the question.
Speaker 11 (13:21):
But why didn't the press talk about all the lies?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
He told me, Let me ask you something, Lester, Let
me ask you something. Let me let me let me
let me ask you this. Who's got two thumbs? Lester?
And it is about to beat your ass?
Speaker 5 (13:39):
But of course, because the entire debate over rhetoric is
happening because of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump over
the weekend at a rally in Pennsylvania, which was obviously
terrifying and disorienting. And I think I learned that in
an emergency, when shit hits the fan in this country,
the Internet is a great source of information.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
For instance, within minutes.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
I found out that this is staged, and then I
found out that it was actually an inside job, and
then I found out that it was Joe Biden who
ordered it, and then I found out that this guy
is the shooter. Great job, Internet, you did it, except
it turns out that that guy is an Italian football
(14:26):
commentator named Marco Violi, who.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Does, to be fair, who the little shootery?
Speaker 5 (14:37):
But I can only assume was in Italy sipping Apparol's
Princes on the piazza when he got a panicked call
from his nona.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
A lot of gold, A lot of gold? Why am
lot Cole?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
And I have to say, and I mean this, and
I have a slight confession to make, and I am
not proud of this in any way, shape or form,
but I'm following social media during all this to find
out who did it, because it's this pattern I feel
like we now have in the country. When we hear
about a horrific event, you're on pins and needles in
(15:19):
this sort of reverse demographic lottery to make sure that
the psychopathic shooter doesn't belong to one of your teams.
You know, you just sit there going please no Democrats,
no liberals, no progressives. It's like that press your luck game.
No Dewey, no Jewey, no Dewey, no Dewey, no Dewey.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
And we're all doing it.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
We're all doing it because we have to know what
our posture will be on the tragedy. Will it be
a haughty I told you, or perhaps a circumspect Well,
let's not rush to judgment. We shouldn't generalize and then
it ends up being someone we can't even figure out
in the first place. A bullied, loner, white guy, registered
(16:02):
Republican donated to a blue pack argued conservative causes is
a dude, but if you flip his picture upside down,
kind of looks like an old lady.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I don't know what's going on with this guy. It's
a jump ball.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
We don't know yet who's got DIBs, who wins, and
none of us knows what's going to happen next, other
than there will be another tragedy in this country, self
inflicted by us to us, and then we'll have this
feeling again. I remember it on nine to eleven, this disorienting,
holy shit stopped the world.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I would like to get off feeling.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
And in that moment, there will be some incredible Americans who,
in the midst of it, for some unknown reason, rush
towards it and get us back to some sort of equilibrium.
And we'll count on those folks to hold us together again.
And it does remind us that by a hair's breath,
we dodged a catastrophe, but it was still a tragedy
(17:01):
because one of those first responders lost his life. His
name was Corey Comparatore. He was a retired fire chief
in the area. He had given his life in service
to his community, and he died literally shielding his family.
He's a reminder that in those moments of crisis, there
are helpers, and we can all make a choice to
try and be one of those people, or.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You can be one of these guys.
Speaker 13 (17:24):
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, an article from
Forbes titled while Surviving Gunfire be Donald Trump's next appeal
to black voters not helping when we.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Come back, Bella rau, be here, don't go away.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Let me go.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
JOm I got close. He is the host of the
o'reiley Update and is the author of the forthcoming book
Confronting the Presidents. Please welcome back to the program. Bell O'Reilly, sir,
come on that.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Take the problem.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Thanks for having me take appreciated.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
William Yes, sir, you our country. We are in such
a dangerous moment.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
You've written books on almost every assassination, as you have
a whole line of the killings, the killing, the killing,
the children's series you write about killing presidents?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Is the time we're in? In your mind?
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Are we in a unique time in American history of
polarization or as you looked back on those other moments
of terrible tragedy in our country. Are there similarities or difference?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Yeah, it's uh, not unique, but the social media and
the corporate media heighten everything.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
So you're saying Lincoln's tweets were not a part of He.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Had to like get a pigeon and throw them out
and limited. But the assassins all had one thing in common.
They were all mentally ill, all of them, and most
of them did their terrible deeds because they were in
a rage. And you're gonna find out that this guy
(19:33):
in Pennsylvania fits both of those categories that has been
human nature since they do.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
You believe then that the political rhetoric, I mean, John
Wilkes Booth was clearly a political actor.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
No, but he was also mentally ill.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Well.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
John Wilkes Booth was a fanatical conservative and racist who
hated Lincoln.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Good thing that's gone out of the country.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
No, I know I was saying it too.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
I'm saying that we were both saying it simultaneous.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
No, we're obviously sharing that opinion where SYMPATICO.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yes, exactly exactly. Don't so Latin.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
So it's not new, but where now in a society
where hatred is rewarded.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
It's incentivized, it's monetized.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
That's right, And I'm on the hate brigade is now
pulling back a little bit because they have to, but
they're going to be back in two weeks because they
get paid to do this. They're so untalented. And oh boy,
oh boy, I want to make this point because Stuart
and I have a history.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
All right, we'll go back. But if you watch, if
you google, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Really do it, and ship's passing in a night.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
It's really.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
We are able to disagree without hating each other. Now
I truly hate him, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I don't show it. You hold it.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Absolutely, But now that's not rewarded. That kind of deaton
where two people look at life differently, isn't rewarded. The
haters get the big money, and so that's what you have.
And I think all Americans start to hold the corporations accountable.
You can't do anything about the guys and the basement
(21:22):
that are chucking this stuff out, and you just had
it on these conspiratorial nuts can't do anything about that,
but you can say to corporations you better knock this
stuff off. You better stop calling people racist and naziason,
this and that. Now your question, and thank you for
letting me take a question.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I don't remember.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Thank you for letting me you were talking.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
I was watching a different program I'm watching. I'm watching
South Park reruns right now. I don't even know what
you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
But this one is better. So listen to me.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I'm gonna listen to But then I have a fall
up to this, which I think is important.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Okay, So your question is, then what can people do
about this? All right? Reject it, don't celebrate it.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
So this kid twenty years old in Pennsylvania, and we
don't know why caused him to do that. We knew
he was a miserable kid who was bullied. All of
this stuff, right right, we all know that, But we
don't get into always a Republican. That's the first thing
they said on the View, the first thing they said
on Monday undview ed a Republican.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Stop it. That does nobody any good? All right, But.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Bill, let me push back a bit. Look, you and
I are both.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Somewhat fossilized practitioners of the rhetorical arts that are confrontational
at times, provocative at times, and we made a really
spectacular living pushing those envelopes. It seems now to say, hey,
these other people should stop.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Hey, look well, it's like it's like it's like.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Beach.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
But don't you believe let me let me put this Stewart.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
We keep saying like, we don't know why these people
do it, they're all mentally ill.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
But let's stop the rhetoric. Even though we have no idea.
Wouldn't it be better to come up with.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
People can be passionate, people can defend their position, and
shouldn't we be shouldn't the argument be we have to
start arguing with each other in good faith?
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Okay, So Biden made a good point last night in
the Lester Hold interview when he said, what am I
supposed to do? Not criticize Trump because I feels it
is a threat towards is the Third Reich?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You know? Okay, you know he didn't say that.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
But no, but he was thinking it, Stuart. He was
thinking and I could read it.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Stop monetizing your anger? So anyway, stop, I don't like it.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
I don't like it one day, but he made a
point yes where I got to criticize the guy because
I don't believe he's good for American and I believe
he's x Y and say, Okay, criticism is good, Robust
debate is good. I like coming on here in front
of all of your friends out here and the audience.
You know, I have no friends here, okay.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
My friends not just here. Well I'm giving them that one,
all right, Okay, So.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
We have made a nice living confronting other people, sometimes
making fun of them, sometimes serious debate.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
I'm going to do your podcast tomorrow. I'm direct and
now I'm going to kick your butt, of course.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
So, but we don't want to see them, at least
I don't destroyed.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
That's the difference.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
The fanatics on the left and the right want to
see their opposition destroyed.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
They want to hurt them.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But I've heard a lot about and even from you,
arguing that point. Are you I'm not arguing that point.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
I think that's a more measured point than you've probably
been making and that I've been hearing come on.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Most of your points.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
From what I've been following, is that the left has
to take it down a notch. You've mentioned MSNBC.
Speaker 13 (25:10):
I ran a.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Montage on the No Spin News last night. So I'm
Bill O'Reilly dot com. By the way, four million.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
By the way, happy log on. It is hard to
get on there, it is.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
It's not hard for the four million people that watch
me all the weekend, four million, four million, wasn't hard
for them.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Look a lot of change, thank you? All right?
Speaker 6 (25:32):
So I ran a montage of haters on the left
and the right. Okay, I just and I didn't have to,
but he he's terrible. I just let their words speak
for themselves.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
On the right, and I don't know if you would
argue this. There is a feeling that they haven't been
doing that and that it is the.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Purview of the left. Okay, there's been a lot of that.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
People believe what they want to believe. But those of
us who are seen and fact based, right, and.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
That might not be you. We know what reality is
because we can see and hear it.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
But we're no longer agreeing.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
How can we have a conversation about rhetoric if we
can't even agree, If there are delusions of it's really
only them. I mean, when I watch the guy from
the Heritage Foundation say the revolution will be bloodless if
the left, you know, allows that right, and you're just like,
(26:27):
what are we doing here? You know, some of the
fears of people are justified. Tens of millions of women
lost access to reproductive choice based on the decisions of
that party. Those are real life consequences of great gravity
and weight.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
How do we talk about those in a way that
so that you're able to express it?
Speaker 12 (26:47):
Is?
Speaker 4 (26:47):
It's not difficult to talk about it, and you don't.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
It seems like it is.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
See the mistake that you made, one of the many
you are trying to get the fringe people in to
be reasonable.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
You're errig on the lead is not the fringe. And
when I watch No, No, No, it is that.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
People don't know what that is.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
Most Americans, I put the number of seventy percent are
good people.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Don't do that, not acrimony, They don't want filence.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Those are the people you play to, not the fringe
people who are just out there wanting to, as I said, destroy.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
The other party. Your your candidate, Why no, I don't
have a candidate.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Oh right, okay, independent say that's what this guy did,
and this is what you did.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I really need to take a look at this Cornell westfellow.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
If you guys watch their conditioned lisatorium.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
He did the same thing. Listen to me, Nick Romney, listen,
you are fossil. Listen to me.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Listen the candidate who represents many of your kinfolk. Oh no,
d Foe he said, yeah, the election was stolen and
rigged right and drove people to this madness on January sixth.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
How are we to deal with that? Truly?
Speaker 5 (28:17):
You know, what is the hallmark of a democracy? Peaceful transfer?
That put that in jeopardy.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
That has haunted him every day since.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Oh, he's paid a terrible price.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
No he has. Can I explain the price?
Speaker 5 (28:28):
He's gonna go back to the White House, and if
I have to fix the damage himself, paint that wall.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
If Trump hadn't done that on January sixth, he'd be
ahead of Biden by twenty five points in the poll.
I mean, that's how bad Biden has been for the country.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Well, I disagree with that, but that's what you do.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
But that's okay. Well, I understand how I can back
it up. Do you want me to?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Okay, I'm going to ruin your day I'm going to
ruin your day. You brought a handkerchief, all right, I
was prepared for this.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
Food price is under Biden up twenty percent, Gas price
is thirty eight Mortgage rates one.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Hundred and sixty percent.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, prices are gone.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Drug ODE's up thirty six percent. Okay, car insurance one
hundred and twenty five percent.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
These are folks. They have to spend that month.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
There's no question that post pandemic, this country and the
world have suffered.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Trump two years of post pandemic.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Right, but Trump ran an eight trillion dollar deficit, He
spent one point seven trillion on tax cuts, he deregulated,
inflation was cut.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
One point five percent when he walked out the door.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
But look at it in relation to the world.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
I respectfully say, yes, inflation was too high and that
hurts American consumers.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
You want this, So what did Biden do to create that? Though?
Speaker 14 (29:49):
I don't know, and that's what I would have asked.
I'm look so basically you wrote.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Down a piece of paper, but you didn't look up
the answer.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
I know I'm not going to need to. I want
to ask Biden about that. Okay, So you're saying, why
did Biden do it. I'm not gonna hear it and
show mine.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
That was a very poor impression of how I've been saying.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
It's like, hey, that's.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Nothing, okay, all right, So my job as a journalist
is to say, when did you get that job done?
Speaker 1 (30:33):
You really make it too easy. We're gonna talk tomorrow.
We gotta go. This is too long. Thank you for
being okay.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Funding the Presidents comes out September tenth, available for pre order,
Bill Riley.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
We're gonna take a quick break. We'll toss why do
I talk with?
Speaker 5 (31:00):
But before we go, we're gonna check in with your
host Court tomorrow night, mister Ronnick Chang.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Obviously big things going on. What do you have planned
for Wednesday night?
Speaker 12 (31:15):
Well, John, I'm gonna be talking about jd Vance, the
perfect vice presidential pig for the Trump ticket. He's tall,
he's bearded, and most importantly, he's loyal.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Well, I mean.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
About loyal, like he thought Trump was basically Hitler a
few years ago.
Speaker 12 (31:33):
So John, come on, okay, if that's the standard, then
nobody is loyal, all right? Like, who hasn't called the
boss Hitler at some point?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Have you caught me Hitler?
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Ronnick John.
Speaker 12 (32:01):
Now is a time for unity.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Okay, it doesn't matter what people said yesterday.
Speaker 12 (32:08):
And yes, I do accept your nomination as vice president
of the Daily Show.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Thank you everybody.
Speaker 15 (32:15):
Else, And if I may, before the benediction, give you
this promise. You're gonna be so blessed, you're gonna be
tired of being blessed.

Let's just talk about how am I to show? Please? Please?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
How was every how is everybody doing? Wow?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
What all a terrible walking week? Hey? John, come back
to the Daily Show just to the election. It'll be fine.
You'll do one day week. You'll be alarm. What would
go wrong? Obviously, we were supposed to be doing our shows.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
From Milwaukee for the RNC this week, but because of
the attempt on the former president's life, our venue, the
venue in which we planned to this show is a theater,
which was originally located in the soft perimeter they called
it security wise, was shifted understandably so to the hard perimeter.
(01:45):
They called it the hard perimeter. You really don't want
to be in the hard perimeter. It was locked down.
They built cages around the theater, and because of that,
we felt that we cannot logistically put on the theater
shows effectively without.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
People. But I do want to say to the city
of Milwaukee.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
The Mayor of Milwaukee could not have been more accommodating
to the show more gracious to us. We thank you
so much. I do hope that we will be able
to come back to Milwaukee. We really do want to
come back at some point and make up some of
the events we had planned, especially our in Dog Decisions.
(02:34):
We get dogs adopted and people registered to vote, or
or it's the other way around. I don't really, I
don't remember. But as always, the biggest slice of praise
is reserved for our production team and crew.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
They turned this ocean line all around on the dine
on a dime. It is a big.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Production to take a show like this on the road
on short notice. Our crap production team and our crew
got us back to New York City, rejiggered all the
things in the studio to get us ready to do
a program this very Tuesday night. It's remarkable work, and
I just want to thank.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
The remarkable remarkable.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
All right, But even though we are not in Milwaukee,
last night was night one of the RNC, and obviously,
after what happened this weekend, there was a clear theme
going in.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Obviously right now, unity is a theme that we need
to be focused on.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I think that we're going to hear a lot of
unifying top speeches.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
We got to create some unity.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
The vitriol and the hatred it needs to stop.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
We shall bring the temperature down.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Let's turn this moment into a moment that helps us
down that path of healing and unity.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
That that is Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. He is
known as a particularly divisive, divisive or whoever you want to.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Pronounce that, a divisive figure.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
So to hear that healing rhetoric coming from Ron Johnson
is impressive.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I for one, look forward to hearing his unifying remarks
on the convention floor today's Democrat agenda.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Their policies are a clear and pressing danger to America.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I'm sorry, I guess he's what's known as unity in
the streets, divisive in the sheets.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
But to be fair, to be fair, and I want
to be fair in this new environment.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Senator Johnson did not mean to stoke anger his teleprompter did.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
What he wanted loaded in the prompture was that we
needed a somber moment in history. We should heed President
Trump's call to unite, to be strong, to be determined,
We must heal. He said, I don't know how the
other one got in there and screwed up the teleprompter,
but again he went ahead and read it.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
What a douchebag. Sorry, I didn't mean to say that
that was in my teleprompter. I apologize.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Rogue teleprompters weren't the only ones having trouble adjusting to
the Republican's new tone. One particularly fiery member of Congress
struggled mightily as her body rejected the unity theme.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
As though it were transplanted like a monkey heart.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
The founding father of the America First Movement, Donald John Trump,
make America successful again, wealthy again, the country we deserve.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
She knows she's making that noise, right, Okay? Oh? Is
that is that the noise she makes?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
When the interior monologue is going, Marjorie, there's gonna be
plenty of time to talk about satanic democrats.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Just keep it in, Marjorie. Just I just oh, this
is this is hard to do.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
But perhaps the weirdest moment of last night was the
RNC looked like it was turning into the DNC. One
of its featured speakers was Amber Rose, founder of the
La Slut Walk and a sex positive pro choice internet celebrity.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're black, white, gay,
or straight.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
It's all love. It's all love. It's love.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
You just better hope oh that love doesn't lead to
an eck topic of pregnancy, because ah, the guys know
what I'm talking about. They're failing that in the old
Filippian tubes over. But the moment that really felt like
(07:43):
the DNC had snuck into the RNC was when Sean O'Brien,
the president of the Teamsters union and apparently Rob Qudrey Dppelganger,
came up to the lectern.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Come on, Codrey, it's an honor to be the first
Teamster and our one and only one year history to
address the Republican National Convention.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
The crowd went crazy until he began to tell them
what he thinks.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Legal protections that make it safer for workers to get.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
A contract, trade policies that put American workers first.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Label law must be reformed.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Companies fireworkers who try to join unions and hide behind
toothless laws that are meant to protect working people but
are manipulated to benefit corporations.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
The to where are the chairs on the Florida Conversion Yes,
apparently Republicans are pro worker now in pro union. Somebody
tells all the Republican governors who passed right to work
anti union laws in their states, and all the Republican
appointed judges who made it easier to break unions, and
Donald Trump himself who helped kill a bill that would
have protected unions, they are going to be some best.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Of course.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
The main event from last night was the crowning of
Donald Trump's MAGA movement.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Air Apparent.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
No, not that guy, No the here you go, the
other dark haired, bearded dude right in front of that one.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Jd Vance. I gotta tell you something, man, that ain't right.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
It's like for Vice President Donald selected the actor who
would be hired to play Don Junior in the lifetime.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It's not right. It's like Don Junior was the beta
version that had to have some kingsmort doubt.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
He's the default avatar in the video game, and the
Donald Trump Senior adjusted the pretty eyes and charisma sliders
up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Sixty six intelligence.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
And then it was time for Donald Trump's big entrance.
The Great Lee Greenwood did the honors with a rousing rendition.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Of God Bless the USA.
Speaker 9 (09:59):
Doubt Who's to be the next President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Rare works, this station based on faith, rare work, because
he was sure.
Speaker 9 (10:13):
As Donald Trump turned his head just slightly that the
bullet missed.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Him just enough. You know what, I'm sorry. We're gonna
have to skip ahead just a little bit. None of
the side pattern, if you could. The Great Lake Greenwood
introducing Donald Trump. Here we go.
Speaker 9 (10:31):
We have believed for so long that God will make
some changes in this country, and he's about to make
a change in the current administration and send them home.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Thank you everybody for being here.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Just he get to it.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
The man is wearing a time release ear sav for
God's sakes, help for.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
Our veterans, and God bless our military wherever they are.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And they see United States and abroad.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
The lady, please welcome the next president of the United States.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
They cut him off.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Is it is it possible to bring out another band
to play a band off?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
But then finally Donald Trump himself.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Arrived, waving to his adoring crowd, and then went to
sit down and what can only be described as some
sort of chair trap.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh what's that ahead? Oh well that's what that being back?
What the hell mean?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
While back at the back cave, Joe Biden was sitting
down with NBC News anchor Lester Holt to answer questions
about what he would do to cool our nation's overheated rhetoric.
Speaker 10 (11:58):
But have you taking a step back and done a
little soul searching on things that you may have said
that could incite people who are not balanced?
Speaker 11 (12:09):
How do you talk about the threat to democracy which
is real when a president says things like he says,
do you just not say an him? He's a man,
incite somebody. My opponent's engaged.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
That rhetoric he.
Speaker 11 (12:21):
Talks about to be a bloodbath if he loses, Like
remember the picture of Donald Trump one Nancy Pelosi's husband's
hip of the hammer going talking about joking about it.
Speaker 10 (12:32):
This doesn't sound like you're turning down the heat, though.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
He's telling you what the other guy had been saying.
I was supposed to discuss the temperature of the rhetoric.
If you're not allowed to mention the rhetoric. It became
clear that Biden was ready to turn it down for everybody.
Speaker 10 (12:50):
But Lesterholt, are you seeing what they saw, which was
moments of frankly that appeared to be you appeared to
be confused.
Speaker 11 (13:00):
Lester, Look why don't you guys ever talk about the
eighteen twenty eight lies?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
He told, where are you from?
Speaker 12 (13:08):
This?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
All shit? Seriously, you won't answer the question.
Speaker 11 (13:21):
But why didn't the press talk about all the lies?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
He told me, Let me ask you something, Lester, Let
me ask you something. Let me let me let me
let me ask you this. Who's got two thumbs? Lester?
And it is about to beat your ass?
Speaker 5 (13:39):
But of course, because the entire debate over rhetoric is
happening because of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump over
the weekend at a rally in Pennsylvania, which was obviously
terrifying and disorienting. And I think I learned that in
an emergency, when shit hits the fan in this country,
the Internet is a great source of information.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
For instance, within minutes.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
I found out that this is staged, and then I
found out that it was actually an inside job, and
then I found out that it was Joe Biden who
ordered it, and then I found out that this guy
is the shooter. Great job, Internet, you did it, except
it turns out that that guy is an Italian football
(14:26):
commentator named Marco Violi, who.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Does, to be fair, who the little shootery?
Speaker 5 (14:37):
But I can only assume was in Italy sipping Apparol's
Princes on the piazza when he got a panicked call
from his nona.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
A lot of gold, A lot of gold? Why am
lot Cole?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
And I have to say, and I mean this, and
I have a slight confession to make, and I am
not proud of this in any way, shape or form,
but I'm following social media during all this to find
out who did it, because it's this pattern I feel
like we now have in the country. When we hear
about a horrific event, you're on pins and needles in
(15:19):
this sort of reverse demographic lottery to make sure that
the psychopathic shooter doesn't belong to one of your teams.
You know, you just sit there going please no Democrats,
no liberals, no progressives. It's like that press your luck game.
No Dewey, no Jewey, no Dewey, no Dewey, no Dewey.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
And we're all doing it.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
We're all doing it because we have to know what
our posture will be on the tragedy. Will it be
a haughty I told you, or perhaps a circumspect Well,
let's not rush to judgment. We shouldn't generalize and then
it ends up being someone we can't even figure out
in the first place. A bullied, loner, white guy, registered
(16:02):
Republican donated to a blue pack argued conservative causes is
a dude, but if you flip his picture upside down,
kind of looks like an old lady.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I don't know what's going on with this guy. It's
a jump ball.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
We don't know yet who's got DIBs, who wins, and
none of us knows what's going to happen next, other
than there will be another tragedy in this country, self
inflicted by us to us, and then we'll have this
feeling again. I remember it on nine to eleven, this disorienting,
holy shit stopped the world.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I would like to get off feeling.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
And in that moment, there will be some incredible Americans who,
in the midst of it, for some unknown reason, rush
towards it and get us back to some sort of equilibrium.
And we'll count on those folks to hold us together again.
And it does remind us that by a hair's breath,
we dodged a catastrophe, but it was still a tragedy
(17:01):
because one of those first responders lost his life. His
name was Corey Comparatore. He was a retired fire chief
in the area. He had given his life in service
to his community, and he died literally shielding his family.
He's a reminder that in those moments of crisis, there
are helpers, and we can all make a choice to
try and be one of those people, or.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You can be one of these guys.
Speaker 13 (17:24):
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, an article from
Forbes titled while Surviving Gunfire be Donald Trump's next appeal
to black voters not helping when we.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Come back, Bella rau, be here, don't go away.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Let me go.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
JOm I got close. He is the host of the
o'reiley Update and is the author of the forthcoming book
Confronting the Presidents. Please welcome back to the program. Bell O'Reilly, sir,
come on that.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Take the problem.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Thanks for having me take appreciated.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
William Yes, sir, you our country. We are in such
a dangerous moment.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
You've written books on almost every assassination, as you have
a whole line of the killings, the killing, the killing,
the children's series you write about killing presidents?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Is the time we're in? In your mind?
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Are we in a unique time in American history of
polarization or as you looked back on those other moments
of terrible tragedy in our country. Are there similarities or difference?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Yeah, it's uh, not unique, but the social media and
the corporate media heighten everything.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
So you're saying Lincoln's tweets were not a part of He.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Had to like get a pigeon and throw them out
and limited. But the assassins all had one thing in common.
They were all mentally ill, all of them, and most
of them did their terrible deeds because they were in
a rage. And you're gonna find out that this guy
(19:33):
in Pennsylvania fits both of those categories that has been
human nature since they do.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
You believe then that the political rhetoric, I mean, John
Wilkes Booth was clearly a political actor.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
No, but he was also mentally ill.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Well.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
John Wilkes Booth was a fanatical conservative and racist who
hated Lincoln.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Good thing that's gone out of the country.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
No, I know I was saying it too.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
I'm saying that we were both saying it simultaneous.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
No, we're obviously sharing that opinion where SYMPATICO.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yes, exactly exactly. Don't so Latin.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
So it's not new, but where now in a society
where hatred is rewarded.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
It's incentivized, it's monetized.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
That's right, And I'm on the hate brigade is now
pulling back a little bit because they have to, but
they're going to be back in two weeks because they
get paid to do this. They're so untalented. And oh boy,
oh boy, I want to make this point because Stuart
and I have a history.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
All right, we'll go back. But if you watch, if
you google, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Really do it, and ship's passing in a night.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
It's really.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
We are able to disagree without hating each other. Now
I truly hate him, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I don't show it. You hold it.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Absolutely, But now that's not rewarded. That kind of deaton
where two people look at life differently, isn't rewarded. The
haters get the big money, and so that's what you have.
And I think all Americans start to hold the corporations accountable.
You can't do anything about the guys and the basement
(21:22):
that are chucking this stuff out, and you just had
it on these conspiratorial nuts can't do anything about that,
but you can say to corporations you better knock this
stuff off. You better stop calling people racist and naziason,
this and that. Now your question, and thank you for
letting me take a question.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I don't remember.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Thank you for letting me you were talking.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
I was watching a different program I'm watching. I'm watching
South Park reruns right now. I don't even know what
you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
But this one is better. So listen to me.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I'm gonna listen to But then I have a fall
up to this, which I think is important.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Okay, So your question is, then what can people do
about this? All right? Reject it, don't celebrate it.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
So this kid twenty years old in Pennsylvania, and we
don't know why caused him to do that. We knew
he was a miserable kid who was bullied. All of
this stuff, right right, we all know that, But we
don't get into always a Republican. That's the first thing
they said on the View, the first thing they said
on Monday undview ed a Republican.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Stop it. That does nobody any good? All right, But.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Bill, let me push back a bit. Look, you and
I are both.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Somewhat fossilized practitioners of the rhetorical arts that are confrontational
at times, provocative at times, and we made a really
spectacular living pushing those envelopes. It seems now to say, hey,
these other people should stop.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Hey, look well, it's like it's like it's like.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Beach.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
But don't you believe let me let me put this Stewart.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
We keep saying like, we don't know why these people
do it, they're all mentally ill.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
But let's stop the rhetoric. Even though we have no idea.
Wouldn't it be better to come up with.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
People can be passionate, people can defend their position, and
shouldn't we be shouldn't the argument be we have to
start arguing with each other in good faith?
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Okay, So Biden made a good point last night in
the Lester Hold interview when he said, what am I
supposed to do? Not criticize Trump because I feels it
is a threat towards is the Third Reich?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You know? Okay, you know he didn't say that.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
But no, but he was thinking it, Stuart. He was
thinking and I could read it.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Stop monetizing your anger? So anyway, stop, I don't like it.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
I don't like it one day, but he made a
point yes where I got to criticize the guy because
I don't believe he's good for American and I believe
he's x Y and say, Okay, criticism is good, Robust
debate is good. I like coming on here in front
of all of your friends out here and the audience.
You know, I have no friends here, okay.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
My friends not just here. Well I'm giving them that one,
all right, Okay, So.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
We have made a nice living confronting other people, sometimes
making fun of them, sometimes serious debate.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
I'm going to do your podcast tomorrow. I'm direct and
now I'm going to kick your butt, of course.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
So, but we don't want to see them, at least
I don't destroyed.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
That's the difference.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
The fanatics on the left and the right want to
see their opposition destroyed.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
They want to hurt them.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But I've heard a lot about and even from you,
arguing that point. Are you I'm not arguing that point.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
I think that's a more measured point than you've probably
been making and that I've been hearing come on.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Most of your points.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
From what I've been following, is that the left has
to take it down a notch. You've mentioned MSNBC.
Speaker 13 (25:10):
I ran a.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Montage on the No Spin News last night. So I'm
Bill O'Reilly dot com. By the way, four million.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
By the way, happy log on. It is hard to
get on there, it is.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
It's not hard for the four million people that watch
me all the weekend, four million, four million, wasn't hard
for them.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Look a lot of change, thank you? All right?
Speaker 6 (25:32):
So I ran a montage of haters on the left
and the right. Okay, I just and I didn't have to,
but he he's terrible. I just let their words speak
for themselves.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
On the right, and I don't know if you would
argue this. There is a feeling that they haven't been
doing that and that it is the.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Purview of the left. Okay, there's been a lot of that.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
People believe what they want to believe. But those of
us who are seen and fact based, right, and.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
That might not be you. We know what reality is
because we can see and hear it.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
But we're no longer agreeing.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
How can we have a conversation about rhetoric if we
can't even agree, If there are delusions of it's really
only them. I mean, when I watch the guy from
the Heritage Foundation say the revolution will be bloodless if
the left, you know, allows that right, and you're just like,
(26:27):
what are we doing here? You know, some of the
fears of people are justified. Tens of millions of women
lost access to reproductive choice based on the decisions of
that party. Those are real life consequences of great gravity
and weight.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
How do we talk about those in a way that
so that you're able to express it?
Speaker 12 (26:47):
Is?
Speaker 4 (26:47):
It's not difficult to talk about it, and you don't.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
It seems like it is.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
See the mistake that you made, one of the many
you are trying to get the fringe people in to
be reasonable.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
You're errig on the lead is not the fringe. And
when I watch No, No, No, it is that.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
People don't know what that is.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
Most Americans, I put the number of seventy percent are
good people.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Don't do that, not acrimony, They don't want filence.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Those are the people you play to, not the fringe
people who are just out there wanting to, as I said, destroy.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
The other party. Your your candidate, Why no, I don't
have a candidate.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Oh right, okay, independent say that's what this guy did,
and this is what you did.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I really need to take a look at this Cornell westfellow.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
If you guys watch their conditioned lisatorium.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
He did the same thing. Listen to me, Nick Romney, listen,
you are fossil. Listen to me.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Listen the candidate who represents many of your kinfolk. Oh no,
d Foe he said, yeah, the election was stolen and
rigged right and drove people to this madness on January sixth.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
How are we to deal with that? Truly?
Speaker 5 (28:17):
You know, what is the hallmark of a democracy? Peaceful transfer?
That put that in jeopardy.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
That has haunted him every day since.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Oh, he's paid a terrible price.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
No he has. Can I explain the price?
Speaker 5 (28:28):
He's gonna go back to the White House, and if
I have to fix the damage himself, paint that wall.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
If Trump hadn't done that on January sixth, he'd be
ahead of Biden by twenty five points in the poll.
I mean, that's how bad Biden has been for the country.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Well, I disagree with that, but that's what you do.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
But that's okay. Well, I understand how I can back
it up. Do you want me to?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Okay, I'm going to ruin your day I'm going to
ruin your day. You brought a handkerchief, all right, I
was prepared for this.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
Food price is under Biden up twenty percent, Gas price
is thirty eight Mortgage rates one.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Hundred and sixty percent.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, prices are gone.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Drug ODE's up thirty six percent. Okay, car insurance one
hundred and twenty five percent.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
These are folks. They have to spend that month.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
There's no question that post pandemic, this country and the
world have suffered.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Trump two years of post pandemic.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Right, but Trump ran an eight trillion dollar deficit, He
spent one point seven trillion on tax cuts, he deregulated,
inflation was cut.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
One point five percent when he walked out the door.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
But look at it in relation to the world.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
I respectfully say, yes, inflation was too high and that
hurts American consumers.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
You want this, So what did Biden do to create that? Though?
Speaker 14 (29:49):
I don't know, and that's what I would have asked.
I'm look so basically you wrote.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Down a piece of paper, but you didn't look up
the answer.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
I know I'm not going to need to. I want
to ask Biden about that. Okay, So you're saying, why
did Biden do it. I'm not gonna hear it and
show mine.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
That was a very poor impression of how I've been saying.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
It's like, hey, that's.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Nothing, okay, all right, So my job as a journalist
is to say, when did you get that job done?
Speaker 1 (30:33):
You really make it too easy. We're gonna talk tomorrow.
We gotta go. This is too long. Thank you for
being okay.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Funding the Presidents comes out September tenth, available for pre order,
Bill Riley.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
We're gonna take a quick break. We'll toss why do
I talk with?
Speaker 5 (31:00):
But before we go, we're gonna check in with your
host Court tomorrow night, mister Ronnick Chang.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Obviously big things going on. What do you have planned
for Wednesday night?
Speaker 12 (31:15):
Well, John, I'm gonna be talking about jd Vance, the
perfect vice presidential pig for the Trump ticket. He's tall,
he's bearded, and most importantly, he's loyal.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Well, I mean.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
About loyal, like he thought Trump was basically Hitler a
few years ago.
Speaker 12 (31:33):
So John, come on, okay, if that's the standard, then
nobody is loyal, all right? Like, who hasn't called the
boss Hitler at some point?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Have you caught me Hitler?
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Ronnick John.
Speaker 12 (32:01):
Now is a time for unity.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Okay, it doesn't matter what people said yesterday.
Speaker 12 (32:08):
