Netanyahu Goes to Washington | Biden Addresses the People | Cat Ladies in Politics

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
We have stuff that just happened.Benjamin Netanya, who just finishing up his
speech to Congress. Based on thevisuals, looked like it was fairly well
received by the people in Congress.Seemed like most people were applauding, shaking
his hand. You know, there'sall sorts of you know, different types
of people that I'm sure have differentfeelings about Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel, but

(00:24):
for the most part, looked likeCongress was you know, we weren't listening
word for word, but Congress seemedto be respectful of him as a whole.
Outside, it's a different story.There are many people protesting, much
like they were in the Capitol rotundayesterday, pretty much just angry that this
thing is still going on. Andof course, you know, they I'm

(00:45):
sure they were like pro Palestinian oranti Israel or pro Hamas or whatever you
want to say. Protests that werefairly disruptive in different spots. But this
is the first re hash, forthe most part, legitimately, that I've
seen weeks since really the debate,because we haven't really talked about the Israel
Hamas thing since Joe Biden and DonaldTrump's first debate, so we'll try to

(01:07):
get you some specifics on exactly whatwas said and what that might mean.
Mostly just I'm more fascinated by howthe reception was, and we'll let you
know if there was anything specifically thatwas of note there. Tonight, though,
or a few hours ahead of whatis supposed to be an address to

(01:27):
the nation by President Joe Biden thatis supposed to start at seven pm.
According to Joe Biden's ex account yesterday, he said tomorrow evening at seven or
eight pm Eastern, which would beseven pm Central, I will address the
nation from the Oval Office on whatlies ahead and how I will finish the
job for the American people. Well, Matt Case and I like to play

(01:47):
fantasy press conference ball. Now,this isn't necessarily by definition of press conference
because he's just hopping on to doan address in the Oval Office with nobody
else around except him in a camera. But we could still play the game.
Address in the Oval Office well makesme think of Monica Lewinsky, But
I digress. You know, thisis also something I was thinking about.

(02:09):
He did an address from the OvalOffice the day after Trump's assassination at HIMT
and he was on the air forroughly six or seven minutes. It really
wasn't that long, but it wasjust him like saying stuff reading from a
prompter kind of. I think hewas riffing a little off the prompter,
uh, because he kind of losthis way there. He kept saying,

(02:30):
look, folks, you know,because he's got a few of those things
that you know, he just kindof says as kind of conjunctions in between
his sentence, like look, folks, or number two or fact of the
matter is he says number two alot. Yeah, because like in the
debate he said it about like twentyfive times. Who is number two?

(02:51):
Who does number two work for?Well, I think he was just referring
to the fact that he needed tocount his points. He would say he
would say first of all or somethinglike that, and then say stuff,
and then he'd stop and say numbertwo and then say his second point.
But he didn't tell us who numbertwo works for or what number two even
means. I mean, I feellike a lot of people already thinks he's

(03:12):
number two in a lot of differentways. If you're picking up what I'm
putting down, you're smelling what I'mstepping in. Mm eh, Yeah,
there you go, how long istonight's address where you set the over under
at I think he's gonna take histime with this one. I mean,
look at it this way. Hecan stumble all he wants. It's not
gonna hurt his campaign. That's true. There's a lot less on the line

(03:35):
now than there has been for himdoing something live and in front of the
camera. Now. I don't thinkhe's gonna go ninety two minutes, but
I think you imagine, can youimagine? I think he gets a solid,
solid, solid sitcom episode in there. I'll say twenty one twenty two
minutes. I'm going a lot less. Okay, I just don't know what
he's gonna say, Like, whatcan you possibly say? What would he

(03:59):
possibly say? It's going to talkabout how he was the greatest president of
all time? Yeah, but howmany times can you say that over and
over again? You just said it. It took like five seconds. Well
if you say it's slower, it'lltake like nine or ten seconds. Oh
okay, we're repeated a couple oftimes, and now we are already at
thirty seconds. Number two, thebest president of all time besides me,

(04:21):
will be a Comma Harris, Right, so here's the Okay, so I
think he's going to be around tenI think ten minutes is probably the right
amount of time. How many beinggo card things can we think of that
he is very likely to say.I think the first thing that he starts
with is the exact way he startedthat letter over the weekend. It's the

(04:41):
exact same thing. Folks, We'vemade incredible progress in America over the last
three and a half years. That'show it's gonna start, because he's gonna
think that none of us have readthe letter and also somebody whoever wrote that
it's like, oh, nobody cares. Is strong. It's a strong open,
it's really strong. Yeah. Soif that's what we're talking about here,

(05:03):
then what's the like, what's theamount of time that goes by before
he mentions Kamala Harris. Does hetalk about himself and then Kamala or does
he immediately go for the juggular andsay, Kamala is going to be a
great next president of the United States. If you want our work to continue,
you need to vote Kamala Harris.But he's not going to talk about
his work. He's going to talkabout how bad the other guy is still

(05:24):
because I think that's still where weare. There's not a whole lot to
celebrate on the left except I guesspotentially just mentioning and rehashing women's reproductive rights,
which is the one issue that Democratsgenerally feel like they can win on.
I don't know, I got morethoughts on this. We'll make more
guesses and figure out some of theother things that we think he's going to

(05:46):
for sure say in this address tonight, and that'll be coming up next.
It is two fifteen on news radioeleven to ten KFAB and Ray's songer on
news Radio eleven ten kfab. Anaddress today from the Oval officer will be
no questions. It's all gonna beprepared. I'm at about ten maybe twelve
minutes, like in that window abouthalf of his have as much time as

(06:09):
you think that there's going to be. I just don't know how much he's
going to be like be willing tosay and talk about. Does he start
late or is it going to startright at the top of the seven o'clock
hour. Oh, this is goingto be a late start if he's if
he was still on the campaign trail, starting an hour or so late.
I mean, I mean it wasan hour late after they already delayed it

(06:30):
an hour. Right, What timeis it. It's supposed to be right
at seven seven tonight, eight histime. Yeah, oh boy, maybe
he starts early. That's late.I'd like to revise my initial answer.
It's it's I mean, it's outside, it's well outside his window. It's
way outside the window, his tenam to four pm window. My I

(06:54):
think the there's a big chance there'sOkay, I want to get careful about
this because we set all this stuffalready. But the Oval office thing is
kind of a throwback, isn't it. A lot of history, A lot
of things that are historic existed withinthe parameters of a time where things were

(07:15):
simple. You couldn't really grab thepresident and move him somewhere else and then
film what he was saying and likesend that out to all the live places.
The best place to do that wasjust to set those hookups up in
the White House. So there's somethingkind of historic about a presidential address in
the Oval Office. However, forthis president, I don't know about how

(07:35):
it being like historically relevant that hewould do an Oval office address as much
as it's just this president needs asmuch protection from outside variables as possible.
What's the odds that they've put thisin the can and it airs not live
but as a recording. Okay,yeah, we're not going to know that.

(07:58):
That's the move. Isn't that tomove that is? Wouldn't they be
like filming that thing at like noontoday or where else? Has he got
to be right after he's you know, not all his stuff to get him
nice and energized. He's eight,he's eighties lunch, he's had his been
b twelve, you know, andhe's ready to go for another couple hours.
That's when you turn the camera onand say, all right, we're

(08:18):
firing away. That's that's what Ithink probably is the most likely scenario to
happen. The risk of doing thatwould be that somebody out there is going
to leak what is going to betalked about or something? Can you trust
the people around you if you diddo that? I don't know, And
again we're unlikely to know the details. We talked about what he could potentially

(08:41):
be talking first, how long itmight end up being, how late it
may not end up Sorry, Ibet it starts on time. I think
they want as many people to seethis and say, this guy's being transparent.
Does he give a reason for himdropping out? And No, saying
it's best for the party doesn't countbecause that doesn't elaborate at all. I
would say he's not specific. He'snot going to be specific because they sit

(09:03):
in sort of like idealistic, veiledterms, right, like, this is
what's best for the political party inthe nation at this time that I focus
on finishing my job, which twoweeks ago it wasn't a problem for him
to finish his job on top ofall of the campaigning that he was planning
to do. So what changed.I don't think he's going to give us
an answer to that. I don'tthink he's going to blame COVID nineteen either.

(09:26):
I don't think he's going to sayhe felt a ton of pressure.
I don't think he's going to becandid about this at all. Kareem John
Pierre goes completely out of and againI don't hate Kareem John Pierre. She
works a job that is basically whoever'sgoing to do that is going to be
hated by somebody. That's just areality of the matter. She's got to
be like the spokesperson for everything thisWhite House wants her to say to all

(09:50):
of the media, the piranhas thatare out there trying like us to feed
off of information that we're given fromthe White House, and this White House,
specifically through her, has said allof this stuff that we're seeing about
Joe Biden in his health, JoeBiden's cognitive ability or disabilities, it's all
fake. It's all a lot.And then he did the debate and all
of a sudden, it wasn't alie anymore. He just had a bad

(10:11):
night. Oh, he was sick. Ah, he was jet lagged.
He jetlagged from a week and ahalf ago. Still, you know,
he's not a young man anymore.But he had excuses. It was just
a bad night. What about thedonors and all the money they refused to
give to the campaign until he gota stepped aside, And now all of
a sudden, a bunch of moneyis flowing through, even before they officially

(10:33):
named Kamala Harris the nominee. Isthat not messy? Of course it's messy.
Donald Trump and his campaign have alreadyfiled a lawsuit basically saying, hey,
they're challenging this money, whether ornot should be used because he's still
technically the nominee and they weren't sendingthat money until he said he was getting
out. We don't technically have anominee for the Democrats yet, are we

(10:54):
sure that it's legal to basically buya nomination, which is what this sounds
like. You give this money withthe idea that the only person who can
use it is Kamala Harris. Idon't think he's going to mention that either.
I think he's going to say andlike you said, in very veil,
very vague terms, I think it'sbest for my political party and for
our nation for me to finish thisjob and not seek another term of reelection.

(11:16):
And then he'll go into some thankyous. But that doesn't answer the
question. And Kareem John Pierre,like I mentioned, going completely out of
her way to tell us that it'sridiculous that he's not fit to lead this
country with his health. We havesix months left that this guy's going to
have to be the leader of thisnation one way or another. What's the
likelihood that we can assume he's goingto be okay with that? And then

(11:37):
I think he's going to take aVictory lap about Kamala saying, the first
thing that I did when I waswhen I got the nomination was I wanted
Kamala Harris to be my running mate. She's overqualified for the job. Now
we can't talk about how unqualified shemay have been for this specific job because
they have gotten JD. Vance onthe other side, who has much less
political experience than Kamala was as arunning mate for Donald Trump. At the

(12:01):
same time, I completely understand whyhe would do this, because he wants
the Kamala Harris presidency if it wereto happen, to be a part of
the Biden legacy. And that's whyhe's going to claim that it was his
call. And one of the firstthings he did was to get this person
who was certainly not fit to bein the position she was about to have,
and he tabbed her not because hethought she was the best person for

(12:22):
the job, but because of theidentity politics that certainly existed that they hoped
would help them win an election.The identity politics that still exists, they
make Kamala Harris kind of an excitingcandidate for a lot of people who might
not like Donald Trump to actually votefor has nothing to do with her ideals
or her policies. It has everythingto She's an African American woman, she

(12:43):
is a potentially the first woman presidentof all time. She is married to
a Jewish man. I mean,there are all different types of demographics.
She's much younger than Biden, overtwenty two years younger than he is.
So even if she is, youknow, like almost sixty and will be
sixty election day, you know,that's that's really youthful comparative to you know,

(13:03):
the Trump and Biden ages. Sothey're going to take a victory lap
on all of that. Of course. Phill's on our phone on fourth two,
five, five, eight to eleventen. Phil, Welcome to the
show today. What's on your mind? Well, Emory, I'm having a
good day today. You know,I was thinking, you know, one
thing that we know for sure tonighthe's going to endorse Kamala Harris. Right,

(13:26):
yeah, Now, I want togo through the names. Eisenhower,
Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, the
first Clinton, Bush, the secondObama, Trump, Biden. Yep.
What do all those presidents have incommon? I mean, besides them being

(13:48):
men? I don't know. Youtell me, they all have children of
their own. Interesting. Yeah,so Kamala Harris has no children of her
own. She's a sixty year oldbaby with no children. Yeah, is
this where we want to go here? Well, I mean, as somebody
that doesn't have children of my own, I feel like I'm a little underqualified

(14:09):
to speak on that specifically. Youknow, I you have no idea what
life's about until you have children,and any parent will tell you that.
So, so what you're saying,Phil, is people who don't have kids
shouldn't be in politics. I'm I'msaying, do you really want to go
there to have somebody that's never hadchildren be the president of the United States?

(14:31):
I mean, I guess I reallywant that. I mean you're asking
me, Phil, I don't careabout that. So I mean, no,
no, no, I'm asking thatto the audience. Okay, in
the audience. I guess it isgoing to have to come to their own
you know, specific you know background. I think a bigger deal for her
is that she wasn't even really agood prosecutor and has very little record of
what she accomplished in the Senate.I think that's a little bit more concerning

(14:52):
for some people besides her personal life, identity, politics, or Jewish husband
being. You know, I thinksomebody that they can utilize as a way
to kind of bring independence to thetable. I don't I haven't even thought
one time about the kid thing.But maybe that's just because I don't have
kids. I don't know. Idon't think that's going to stop Democrats from
voting for her. Well, Idon't think that's going to stop single women

(15:13):
from voting for her. That that'sfor sure. The single women vote like
seventy five percent Democrats. Yeah,there, but there's many more married women
than there are single women. Andthere's plenty of people of the single women
that have had children, that havehad mouse to feed, that have gone
home with that little baby and beenresponsible for feeding that little baby. That

(15:33):
is something that Kamala Harris has noclue on. Okay, well neither do
I, Phil. I wish Icould help you out more than that,
But maybe it's that is something thatthey decide to target and the fact that
she hasn't had that kind of responsibilityin her life before. But I appreciate
the calls always, Phil, havea good day you as well. Yeah,

(15:54):
I mean, it's an angle Iactually grabbed a JD vance thing off
this and I will play tell youthat coming up next because JAD fans mentioned
something about children or not having children, and I'll play that because I feel
like that's relevant and that was fromI think either yesterday the day before.
But I'll get to that audio next. On news radio eleven ten kfab em
Marie's Sunger on news Radio eleven tenkfab. Thanks, you're not kind of

(16:22):
like vested, like you have avested interest in the future of the country
in the same way as you mightif you had your own children, I
guess is the premise of the point. Is that a legitimate point from your
perspective. Well, first off,let's talk about what we talked about in
the break. Yeah, Kamala Harrisactually has two step kids. She is
a mom. Yeah, so DougImhoff, her husband who she married in

(16:45):
twenty fourteen, he had two children, Cole and Ella, and she's stepmother
to those two. Those two people, so she's a mom. So this
conversation can be wadded up and thrownin the trash again, this is ridiculous.
Well about her, about her specifically, Yeah, she's not a childless
cat lady, which is the termthat JD Vans Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(17:07):
And you corrected me. This isn'tfrom this week. This is from
a few years ago. This isjust resurfacing this week for sim Do we
have it available to the audio?Yeah, yeah, let's fire let's fire
that up. And just like thisis Jadvans, this is pre him actually
being elected. This is like twentytwenty one. So here's Jdvans in twenty
twenty one talking about these individuals.He's saying is that we're effectively run in

(17:33):
this country via the Democrats, viaour corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of
childless cat ladies who are miserable attheir own lives and the choices that they've
made, and so they want tomake the rest of the country miserable too.
And it's just a basic fact.You look a Kamala Harris, Pete
Bootage AOC. The entire future ofthe Democrats is controlled by people without children.
And how does it make any sensethat we've turned our country over to

(17:56):
people who don't really have a directstake in it them so direct stake in
it, I guess is you knowkind of the overarching point that is made
about And I guess that's what Phil'stalking about too, is you know,
the we we want to turn overthe country to people that don't have a
direct steak in it. You needthe kids to have a direct steak in
it. I think it's pretty Ithink as far as being if you're a

(18:18):
step parent, then you still havekids. I mean, you think Kamala
Harris is not thinking about those twolike kids that she's I mean, she
was fifty years old when they orforty nine and forty eight or forty nine
years old when she was when theygot married. But you don't think she's
thinking about those kids, yeah,all the time and talking to them all
the time. Still, the ageand when she became a mom and their

(18:38):
age when she became a mom doesnot matter. She's a mom and there's
still much younger to challenge that.What are your thoughts on adoption? Don't
even get me started. She's amom, right, okay? So you
know as for AOC and Pete Bodhagide, I mean they're how in charge of
the country are they? Would bemy next question on that point. I

(19:00):
gave you another jd vance thing thatI'll play a little later. It's I
think it's him trying to be funny. I guess I don't know it.
I am kind of in a weirdspot. I very publicly do not have
children. I very publicly do notcare about having a child at this point

(19:21):
of my life. Now, ifit were to happen for my wife and
I and we tried, you know, we're still in our early thirties.
Like if we tried to have achild and we did, I mean,
great. I hear from many peoplethat it's a life changing experience. I
totally understand. And Phil even said, you can't even begin to know,
like what it's like to be aleader when you don't have children, because

(19:42):
you know what, your perspective oneverything changes. I've heard that from many
people. Your perspective on everything changeswhen you have a child. I'm not
trying to debate that. I'm sayinghaving a child is a choice. I
mean, there are billions of peoplein the world, right the Pope said
this too. Can I talk aboutthis when the Pope said it? I
think I did. The Pope islike pet parents, which is I don't

(20:06):
say I'm a parent of a pet, but I have dogs, have adopted
dogs. But pet parents who don'thave children? Are they're not good for
the earth because we need to procreate, is what they said, you know,
because we need to leave people,you know, behind and leave our
legacies within these children. Okay,And that's one thing. I hate to

(20:30):
break it to you, but likethere are other ways to live, Like
we're in the handbook. And youmight come at me with like some something
religious from like the Old Testament whenthey really were trying to just populate the
earth. You know, I'm sorry, But in twenty twenty four, there
is a choice that you can make, and I think it's a responsible choice.
We sit here and we talk aboutall the major issues that we have

(20:51):
in America. How does a familyof four on a shoe string budget,
with the prices that things cost thesedays, with our income taxes, with
our property taxes, with how muchfood and the energy cost, how is
a family of four people supposed toget by? Right If a family of
four, if we're talking about howmuch a family of four is struggling right

(21:11):
now, why on earth would somebodywant to just voluntarily have children? And
if someone were to get themselves atall pregnant in this environment, in this
situation, and they might be incrediblyscared. That's why there's places like the
Sure Women's Health and all that stuffto try to give support to these young
people so they might have the opportunityto make a good decision or have the

(21:33):
baby and put it up for adoptionor something like that. But you want
to you wonder why there are somany people who are straight up afraid of
the reproductive rights conversation, why Democratsare running every election on that, because
it's a scary thing for a lotof younger people or women in general to
say, well, you have nocontrol of your body anymore. Oh okay,
And don't get me wrong, thereare ways that you can be much

(21:56):
more careful about that. You don'thave to be super about the consequences of
those types of actions if you arenot ready for a child in that regard.
But I guess I just find itto be fascinating that people can't have
camp. As far as the JDVance conversation, and again, I'm learning
as much about JD fans as Ican, just like I'm sure most of

(22:18):
you are over the last week plussince he's been nominated as vice president for
Donald Trump. And I'm thinking thatyou know, he wrote a very popular
book that was turned into a Netflixshow, and he's now a senator in
Ohio, and he very well couldbe the next vice president and who knows,
maybe the President of the United Statesone day. I see there are
ways that he talks like that thatfor somebody like me who has no child,

(22:44):
like well, I apparently don't havea vested interest in the outcome of
what's happening in this country, becauseapparently you need kids to be able to
do that. And apparently Kamala Harris'sstepchildren don't count to jd Vance or maybe
even to Phil. I don't knowif Phil was aware of the two step
kids, and anybody like I thinkwith Matts say is like, I agree
with one hundred percent with If you'regoing to come back at that and say,

(23:06):
well, step kids don't count,or they were already of age by
the time you know, she metthem, or by the time that she
married her husband who had the kidspreviously, I'd like, again, so
adoption, or you have to beone hundred percent like blood to care about
anybody in this country like you think. I understand the perspective of your life
changes, and your perspective changes whenyou become a legitimate parent. I totally

(23:30):
understand that, but I'm also sayingthat it shouldn't also be an impossibility for
people to care a lot about theplace that they live, or their constituents
or the people in our country justbecause they don't have kids. And I
guess I'm a little protective of theway that that's being thrown around as somebody

(23:51):
who's made a conscious decision because Idon't want to have kids right now,
and I just don't think that makesme less of a person or have less
vested interest in this country because ofthat. Correct me if I'm wrong,
you can call in a four Otwo five five eight eleven ten four two
five five eight eleven ten, NewsRadio eleven ten kfab Hey, Samory,

(24:11):
and how you doing. I'm goodman, what's up? You know?
The same guy talking about, youknow, not having kids to make me
up. You know that doesn't Thatdoesn't fly with me. It doesn't matter
whether or not you have kids.I think more and goes to more of
MLA's character. I mean, Ihave two daughters, but when I want

(24:36):
them to look up to Cammella assomebody to emulate, I mean, all
you know, she got her start, she got her leg up because well,
she started having an affair with amarried man. Is that, you
know? Is that somebody I want? Now? Yeah, Jim, Well,

(24:57):
you know, I mean, asmuch as I'm hear what you're saying,
I'm kind of going a little bitdifferent place with conversation. But for
everybody who feels that way, there'speople on the other side that look at
Donald Trump the same way. Youknow what I mean, Well, you
know it's I don't but I don'tthink he got to where he was just

(25:18):
because he's you know, I mean, you're you're, you're, you're right,
Jim. But still they they will, they will call his character as
in general in question much like youtalk about her. I mean, so,
I mean, there there's a there'snot going to be a winner with
p Addicians are snakes, but evensnakes have their Jim. I appreciate you
calling in. Thanks, thanks forlistening. Uh Branda is on the line.

to call I am I decided I'ma woman I decided that I didn't want
children. I'm a dog mom,and I don't think that having kids defines

(26:02):
who you are. I chose careerover children. I do have steps so
my husband, this is my secondmarriage, and I have adult step children,
and I do. I just don'tthink that having kids defines who you
are, and I don't. AndI applaud you and your wife for not
for taking Some people don't do that. Some people are have kids and then

(26:26):
are very selfish. So I don'tknow. I just wanted to say,
I don't think Kildar. I don'tthink having children defines who you are.
Period. I really appreciate it,Ronda, and please call us again sometime.

you could do it again. Youknow it's great. I mean, if
I had a bunch of me,I don't know who what the next guys
are going to be saying on theair, But like if somebody called in
and was raaming me for not havingchildren, you think that's going to change
how I feel about having children.I hate to break it to you,
but it's not Todd's on our phoneout of four h two, five,
five, eight to eleven ten,Todd, welcome to the show. What
are you thinking about? Well,first time caller to your show for sure.

(27:11):
Thanks. So the caller that broughtup the parent thing is really an
interesting topic. I hadn't really thoughtabout it in that context, at least
not lately. I'm sixty. Imight have thought of it at one point,
but I don't think it doesn't necessarilyhave to define who you are.
But I do think having a presidentthat has the experience of being a parent

(27:37):
would be helpful because as a parent, you do stuff for others before you
do stuff for yourself, like chungingkids pretty diapers. And this can come
again like as an adult if youget caregift. So it's not like check
the Boks. I could see thisin the way our country is going and

(27:59):
our what it's like today, thatthat becomes almost a protected class, whether
you're a parent or not. Yeah, because we're getting so goofy out of
this. I happen to be aparent, but I totally respect people who
aren't parents. It doesn't define you, doesn't make you less of a person.
But we don't have that many presidentsof the United States, and every

(28:25):
experience they could have for they couldunderstand what it's like to act in other
people's interests. I think would bea good thing. That's all I got,
Hey, Todd, Great, greatperspective. Would be helpful. Great,
great perspective, Todd. Thanks forcalling in today. Yeah, pretty
well, said there by Todd.And appreciate another first time caller. We'll

(28:48):
take more calls four, two,five, five, eight to eleven ten.
Kids. Are they a deal breakerfor you, for a civilian or
a president. We'll talk more onnews radio eleven ten. Kfab I'm going
to try to get through these callsas fast as I possibly can in this
conversation and unplanned one. Appreciate thecallers so far and the callers that we're
about to talk to about children andtheir role in leadership, but also in

(29:08):
having a vested interest in the placethat you live. Ron's on our phone
line. Ron, thank you somuch for listening to the show and for
holding what's on your mind today?Hey, Amory, So what I was
thinking was you know it, havingkids is not a prerequisit to obviously being
government or to be in leadership,but it certainly helps other parents that you
might be influencing, Like, forexample, you got that best friend,

(29:30):
right, you've got a couple ofkids. If you go over to his
house and you say, hey,you're raising your kids wrong, there's a
you know. That guy may notyou know, accept your criticism for your
critiques or your example because you don'thave kids. And so, like Todd
said earlier, it's experienced, butwe don't have experience necessarily all of this
in big business and now to runbig business. We don't have experience in

(29:51):
how to run the military. Butwe still have a president who hasn't been
in general's right. So I thinkit comes down to perspective and where you
will to gain that experience and allowthe experience to influence others. I think
that's that's more important in having kidsor not having kids. That's a great
point there. Ron How many peoplewho have been president of the United States,
maybe outside of George Washington himself,was uniquely qualified under every possible circumstance

(30:18):
that they would be faced with asthe leader of the free world. Usually
that's why they have a cabinet inyou know, legislators to kind of help
do the job a little bit,I think, but it's a great point.
Ron appreciate you calling in. Thankyou so much for listening. Have
a great one you too. Dave'son our phone line, Dave, welcome
to the show today. What areyou thinking about? Thank you. I
was just going to come home andI thought that Jadie Vance is probably exaggerating

(30:38):
a bit when he said you can'tbe a leader, you know, without
or you can't be forward looking ifyou don't have kids. I'll agree with
that. The thing is and theother aspect you talked about was the financial
thing. You know, having fourkids. It's tough. It is tough.
It's sacrificial to become a parents andraise a family. But that's what
makes it wonderful. I leave outa more earlier of Nebraska. I see

(31:00):
the young people I work with havingkids, the foreign families I work with
having kids. There's nothing greater thangoing and watching your kids do activities of
showing four eh animals that playing ballthe best part of life. Yeah.
Other thing I would say about thatis if you choose to not have kids
and you're kid old and dialone countingyour money. That's kind of saying,

(31:22):
yeah, that's all I have tosay. Every everybody makes their own choices.
I understand for sure, Dave.Thanks for calling in, really appreciate
it. Yeah, there are thingsin life right like you can make decisions
based Like we had Ronda calling andsaid she made a choice that she wanted
her career to be kind of firstand foremost for her and didn't have children

(31:44):
of her own. She has gotstep kids, so I would say that
she's still, you know, amom in a lot of ways. But
even if those kids are grown.You know, from my perspective, I
think that the choices can be madeagain if somebody will come to me and
say, you have to do thisto live what would be a fulfilled life,

(32:06):
and give me those reasonings in thoselists and say, hey, you
know what, It's just like college, buddy. You know, remember how
you approached college. You had togo no matter how expensive it was,
you had to make a decision andgo get that secondary education. Well,
this is how you have to approachkids. Yeah, it might not be
super fun at first, and itmay not be fruitful for you financially,
especially at the beginning, but youknow what, You're going to get incredible

(32:30):
experiences out of the whole thing,and that's going to be worth the financial
sacrifices. And I'm not ruling outever having kids. I'm just saying right
now that trade off isn't one I'mwilling to make at this stage of my
life. Again, I'm also notrunning for public office. Joe is on
the line, Joe, I lovethat you called us today. You're with
Emory on news radio eleven to tenkfa B. Yeah, it was a

(32:50):
boundfall to giving me time to thinkabout what I'm going to say. So
sorry if I want to say,you're doing a great commercial for Kamala Heir
today and so have something to keepin mind. I agree with you.
I agree with you, okay forninety nine percent of the occupations on the
planet. Yeah, I don't thinkyou should have to have kids to be

(33:14):
qualified to do it. My reasonfor that is is when I look at
Kamala Harris, I look at AOC, I look at Pete Buddha, Judge,
I look at you. We doesAmerica want you free? Producing?
Does can need that? Is thata good thing for America? Or is
that not such a good thing?For America. I would submit. I'm

(33:35):
happy with the status quo. Yeah, Joe, look, I know who
you are, I know what youdo. I do. Yeah, yeah,
I don't. I'm not giving youa commercial here, Joe. Here,
here's the thing. The fact thatyou still listen to my show and
you still call in and you havethe gals. That's straight up insult me

(33:57):
like that. I just I wouldlove to know really how you sleep at
night. I would love to knowwhat. I would love to know if
you have friends and what they reallythink about you. I would love to
know what you think of yourself whenyou look in the mirror and like,
oh man, I really got thatradio host today. So and sending me
like actually responding to anything that youjust said. I just I hope whatever

(34:19):
you do when you email me oryou call me and you say stuff like
that, I hope it's worth itto make you feel better about yourself.
So Audios, Joe. I've givenJoe three or four phone calls. Matt.
This is a witness Joe. Idon't know if we're going to ever
be able to like fully screen him, but he's getting red button treatment from
now on. So can you canyou confirm on the air for all of

(34:40):
our listeners. Yeah, sure,no, I mean, hey, you
know, I give everybody a chance. I let everybody have their say.
That guy, he has abused ittoo many times for me. Joe likes
to call in and pretend like he'sgoing to be a part of the conversation
in a productive manner. Yeah,yeah, it took, but but I
took that call. It seems likea sad and ang Yeah, but this
is what I'm going to say aboutit is it's impossible for you to know

(35:04):
this, but what we're doing,and this is why I wanted you to
jump on the air. So thelisteners, we don't we don't screen people
out of the conversation, no matterwhat their perspective is going to be.
That that's not what we do here. But we do have this thing called
the red button treatment that if somebodydecided to do something like that and decide
to go against the conversation, I'mgoing to tell you that there is a
thing called the red button treatment thatwe can do and that basically will erase

(35:28):
the last ten seconds of of radiotime and nobody will even know that person
was on the air. So we'llkeep well if Joe wants to keep trying
to call in and being a partof the conversation and that keeps happening,
he's getting red button treatment. Youknow what, guys like jealous Joe,
There's only so much you can do. I try. I wish as he
had a show too. I try. I tried, and I let him
say his piece. Maybe that iswrong. It will talk. We'll talk

(35:51):
to you again, jealous Joe.Just maybe try to be a part of
the conversation again. I just Ihave no idea why somebody would feel like
that's a that's a productive thing todo. Amber's on our phone line,
Amber, Sorry about that. Thanksso much for listening to our show today.
What's on your Mind? Amber?Are you there? We've lost Amber?
Sorry about that. Well, that'sa great way to end a segment.

(36:15):
My mistake everybody for not just givingJoe the red button treatment before that.
But I'll take more phone calls,everybody that's lining up on the phone
lines. We're going to get toyou just momentarily. So stick around on
news radio eleven ten kfab What's onyour mind? All? What a jerk
of that Joe to call and saythat to you. That's awful. It's
part of it. Yeah, Joanna, I appreciate you were your concern,

(36:38):
and I'm glad that it sounded thatbadly to other people who he wasn't speaking
to. But at the same time, it does kind of come with the
territory. When you're in a positionlike mine, you're not going to please
everybody. So it is what itis. Oh, I understand. My
husband's a delvy mayor, so hegets it too. Oh I understand that.
Oh sure, I can't. Soa couple of thoughts on that.

(36:59):
I a mom to two boys anda stepmom, and I cannot imagine my
life without all of them and thegrandkids. It is definitely challenging to raise
kids, but I don't think it'sanybody's business. If you want to have
kids or not, that's your ownpersonal call. And as a teacher of
twenty eight years, I've seen someparents that probably should never have been parents,

(37:22):
So I think you need to peopleneed to think of that side before
they have kids. If you areat the point that you're ready financially,
mentally, every which way, andalso if you're not, fine, you
can care for your country, youcan care for your city, You can
care for all those things without beinga parent. So I think that's crazy

(37:42):
talk to me, But that's myown personal opinion on that. I appreciate
the perspective, Joanna, thank youso much for calling in you betcha bye
bye bye. Okay, at leastlike Amber's come back to us. Amber,
thank you for holding I'm not surewhat happened last time, but let's
give it another go. It's onyour mind, so I went, it'll
apollo for the last guy. Imean, I think to anybody listening to
that, that was terrible. Butwhen I was listening to the conversation earlier,

(38:07):
I thought about people like the Pope, you know, who've given up
their whole life to serve the church, And to me, I think it
is better to choose a career suchas being president of the United States to
focus on that versus trying to keepup with kids and family. I get

(38:28):
the perspective, but I do thinkthat it is challenging, as I imagine
it was with Barack Obama having kidswhile he was in office. Yeah,
especially young kids. Well, andagain I don't want to say that I
know how everybody would react to that, but I do think that there are
multiple options. I guess Amber,if this makes sense in correct me if

(38:52):
it doesn't. But I feel likeif it's something very important to you and
you want to vote based on thefamily values or the family experience of somebody
has, you should have that abilityto do that. But I think it's
I don't know if it's accurate thatpeople who don't have kids don't have it
necessarily a vested interest in our nationor the place that they live. Well,

(39:12):
I agree, and I think whathappens though, is we don't know
why people don't have kids. Youknow, we know Kamala Harris supports reproductive
rights, but maybe she can't havekids. That's obviously pure speculation. But
there's a lot of women who wantto have kids who can't have kids,
and as a as a woman,you empathize with them. But so you

(39:36):
just don't know their situation, andthat's where I think this conversation gets muddy.
That's a really good point and I'mglad you called us back. Call
again any time. Thank you somuch for listening. All right, thank
you, all right, bye bye. Brian's on the line, Ran,
welcome to the show. What's up? Well? First, praise the drop
button, the interesting thing doing areal live, mapscripted call and talk radio

(39:58):
show about it. Well, it'sokay, Brian, He's going to be
getting red button treatment, dumb buttontreatment from now on if he goes that
route. So I don't like tosilence people, and if I really wanted
to, I do have the abilityto do so. But it's just not
like how we want to roll here, you know. Okay. Second,
I've been listening to the syndicated Buckradio shows, and tell me if that
this is not true. About fifteenminutes into opposing Kamala on the issues,

(40:22):
she's the liberal, the rents toohigh, about border, and the rest
of the two hours and forty fiveminutes, it's all identity politics. Too
many women and minorities have only gottenahead because of the affirmative action. Maybe
there's some positions women shouldn't even spill, particularly women like her who haven't burked
any babies with their own and hadsex with their boss twenty five yeah,

(40:45):
yea years ago, right, Andidentity politics? Is this or is this
not? Yeah? Well, Brian, at the same time, and I
will lean back onto this whole youknow, shebang of what my job is
in what the job is of alot of these people, it's to generate
conversation, and there's no doubting orgetting around that, and that riles people

(41:07):
up when you speak about it thatway. It's not I like talking about
identity politics in the way that itmay affect elections, or it might affect
this, that or the other thing, but it's just not necessarily a productive
conversation to this point because Kamala Harris, regardless of how she got to where
she is, she is where sheis now, and you need to be
starting to talk about where she isnow instead of where she came from if

(41:28):
you want to win this election.And that's kind of where I'm at on
it. Ryan, appreciate you callingin and listening to our show. You
too, Dale's on the line,Dale, welcome in. What do you
got for me? So many thanksfor taking my call. Yeah, this
is just my personal belief taking witha great assult. I think having children

(41:49):
are not having children in their personalchoice, and I think that when it
comes to a leader, having childrenis as a plus at times to be
at a detriment at times. Imean, look at Joe Biden and the
son Hunter. But I like tothink that when you are a parent,

(42:13):
and I do consider you a parentbecause you do have puppies and they are
your curb baby. So, butwhen a person is a parent, they
think about the outcome of the situationin a broader perspective than a more selfish
perspective. When you're thinking, whenyou're thinking about how to run the country,

(42:35):
what's that's the country? You thinkabout how it does win affect the
people have People who who choose notthe deep parent and that are selfish,
don't think about that. Look atthe macroome and the sort of Germany,
how they allowed all the immigrants tocome into their countries and at how it's

(43:00):
just totally messed up their economy.Yeah no, and Dale, Dale,
I got a lot of calls toget to. So I'm totally picking up
what you're putting down and I'm hearingwhat you're saying on that. And again,
I think that if you're looking atit from a perspective of if you're
looking at it from a perspective of, well, we're trying to jump from
you know, like this kind ofleader to this kind of leader, and

(43:22):
we think it's important for this personto have that kind of unselfish perspective of
what they would have if they hadchildren, then you can absolute use your
vote that way. I'm not debatingthat, and I think family values are
really important in a lot of ways. I don't I'm not even going to
go as far as to say thatanybody who doesn't have a family like I

(43:45):
don't think it's a disqualifier to runfor politics. But I do think that
there is an element of importance tosomebody that's like that. I just kind
of take a little bit of anumbrage of being told that I don't have
a vested interest or people that don'thave kids don't have a truly vested interest
in their community, or their stateor their country, just because they don't

(44:06):
have that unselfish thing about them.Before I hit the bottom, I got
to get to Zach here. Zach, thank you so much for calling in
today. What's on your mind?Yeah, I just wanted to touch on
the what you said about Kamala Harrisnot having kids, back to the leadership
perspective of it. I'm thirty yearsold and have three kids, and it

(44:27):
was obviously our choice to have threekids, but it's extremely expensive and I
don't think anyone is wrong for nothaving kids, but having someone in office
that understands that. As far asthe economy and running our economy, I
think that's very important to look after, you know, families that have kids,

(44:52):
and not only will benefit them,that'll benefit people that don't have kids
even more. That's a great wayto put that, Zach. Honestly,
that is a great way to putthat, because they they will be in
the I mean, they have beenin the same boat as people who do
have children. I can totally understandthat being a factor when you go to
the polls and vote for that.Zach. Thank you so much for listening

(45:12):
to us and for calling in today. Yes, thank you. All right,
well, I got an interview comingup. We're going to talk a
little bit of fun. We canrevisit this conversation momentarily, so if you
want to just hang tight, We'regoing to talk though about an awesome music
festival that's coming. Just lightening theconversation just for a moment, and then
after that we can get back intophone calls. If you want to continue
the conversation with us, call usat four h two, five, five,
