Speaker 1 (00:00):
When mommy and daddy get old, they happen to, uh,
you know, do stuff that just blends the days together,
and you're gonna have to forgive them. And that's where
I'm at. Did you do you see any of this
Elon Trump thing? I heard that it crashed, it did
too many people trying to watch it.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah, that is that the final word on it, because
it wasn't told Elon saying it was a D D
O S attack Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Or whatever you think.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Uh and when he's got to be careful, Okay, here
you go.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I'm just gonna say it and screw it. I'm just
gonna say it.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Say it Elon being a specific part of this conversation,
all right, this interview, if you will. Uh Mmm, I
can't believe everything anything he says.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
He's too he's too close to the situation. How's that
you can't believe his.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
If he if he explains that it was an attack
or whatever, I am not very specifically going to just
like up and believe him.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, we need a third party investigation.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Like X posted this overnight said between seven forty seven
pm and ten forty seven pm, that's a three hour window.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
That this is like on Twitter spaces.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
So this wasn't like a pre recorded video like I
thought it probably would be of those guys just joshing around. No,
it was just them chatting, and it was like a
radio broadcast if you will, just over X and people
could log into and it went over two hours the
post itself. According to X, they posted this and this
is Eastern times seven forty seven and ten forty seven pm,
(01:44):
seventy three million views, and they are about four million
posts about the conversation, which generated a total of nine
hundred and ninety eight million views. Now that's coming from
the X account talking about X things.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Can I believe that? I don't know?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Is that fair? Is it fair for me to like
just question and everything right now?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
It's a little bit fair. It's kind of like, you
know when you see those products on the shelf at
the grocery store and they say new look, but same
great taste, and I say, I'll be the one to
determine how it tastes, thank you very much. Generic pop tarts,
great value, strawberry strusel.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I was gonna say, they don't call them pop tarts? Yeah,
what do they call them? Like flavored cardboard? Oh? Come On.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
That's the generic pop tarts. That's what I used to
call them. Yeah, I'm a bit cynical.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I apologize.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, well, there's a bunch of things that happened. It
was two hours long. I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I just.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Is it bad that I didn't sit there and listen
to the whole thing? Matt, Well, you had to wait
for a while first off, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Forty commitment.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, it's late, and I was at the fair and
I was doing all sorts of stuff trying to have
fun here, so I skimmed through, you know, the parts
that people were sharing online. Elon praised Donald Trump for,
you know, some of his policies and some of his
perspectives on things, and that was I think predicted, and
(03:08):
then gave him an endorsement, which I think also was predicted.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Not a whole lot going on there.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
It was rementioned, which it needed to be for legal purposes,
that that was sponsored by or paid for by Donald J.
Trump for twenty four for President twenty twenty four incorporated.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
So he paid for the interview. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I don't know exactly how it works, Matt, I'll be honest,
but they had to mention that it was like paid for,
like there was promotional in it, right, even though Elon
would have endorsed him anyway, Elon, I think the return
to X and then the big push that X gave
(03:49):
it when they paid for X to push it, I
think they have to buy law put that there. Even
if they're not paying specifically for the interview, they've paid
Twitter or X to advertise on it to generate you.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
That makes sense, right because of campaign financi laws. It's
not like they paid for the interview. They just paid
to advertise it on the platform they were using to
do the interview, and it made waves because he hadn't
been on that platform for three years essentially, right, how
can I miss you if you're never gone? That kind
of thing right now. This isn't to say that he
didn't have a good reason for leaving X. He created
(04:26):
and you know, with the help of you know, the
whiz kids at his fingertips, they built truth social a
platform where you go there and you literally can just
do whatever you want. There wasn't overlords looking down and
censoring or silencing things. It was all people who are
very like minded going into their own social media platform
to be around people, or be around posts, or be
(04:48):
around celebrities that think like them.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Well, and the great thing is you don't even have
to fact check anything because as such, the way it's labeled,
it is the truth.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Well yeah, but on top of that, even the fact
checking X, I don't know if you've gone on there,
there are community notes people can add, and so many
of those are fact checked in the comments, like community notes,
like they will. There will be something in a video
or a post, somebody will community notes that and say
this isn't true. These are the real facts, and then
somebody in the comments will be fact checking the fact
(05:18):
check in the internet in twenty twenty four, I don't
know if there is such a thing as the truth, Matt.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Is there such a thing as the truth?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Is there anything that we can truly fact check and
be like, we learned this before social media even became
a thing. Right, You would do like your composition. Were
you in a comp class, like a composition class, I was, yeah,
me too, And they tell you very specifically, especially when
you're in composition two, which was when you were writing.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
It wasn't like creative writing. It was more like research.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You know how to do the proper notations of your bibliography,
and you have to have so many sources and all
that stuff like what do they call that APA or whatever,
the APA formatting or whatever like, you have to do
all of that so properly. And half of the sources,
even if they were like listed on the internet, the
(06:07):
Internet was just never considered as a legitimate source. You
had to have like a book, you had to have
a newspaper. You had to have some sort of person
a person interview that you had, not something that was
recorded on the internet. It was something you did and
wrote down otherwise it didn't fit the format. I mean,
there are so many things, especially when you get to
like journalism as we know journalism to be, you can't
(06:30):
like this was before social media or like at the
dawn of social media in the mid two thousands, you.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Couldn't do that.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You couldn't just jump on the Internet and be like, yeah,
i'll notate this, Yeah I'll notate this. You had to
have like a true source that wasn't Internet related. And
this is the thing about watching the pieces that I
did see last night.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Again, there wasn't much to learn.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It was just you know, a conversation's like you it
kind of felt like you were just having a beer
with you know, Trump and Elon.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
That was and I bet that's kind of what the
point was.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
But for somebody that follows the cycle all the time,
it was whatever. But they can just say all they want,
and there are people in the chat that are like, oh, yeah,
they're one hundred percent right on this, and there are
people in the chat that were saying, oh no, they
completely got this wrong. The uh, you know, conservative leaning
news organizations today, if you go and look at their
complete you know, rundown of all the things that are
(07:21):
notable or that they fact checked, there's not a whole
lot of reporting being done on the conversation, especially because
you know, they weren't paid to do it. But if
you look at some of the liberal ones like CNN,
and you look at the like the the Axiosies of
the World and stuff, and some of the more liberal
writers in the opinions and also like they'll have here's
total fact check on Elon Muskin and Donald Trump, and
(07:42):
there's a laundry list of things they say isn't true
or was you know, embellished or was it totally facked
little bit falsehoods, because that's what they do, and they're
trying to find every little thing that he says attribute
it as if he's saying everything very specifically with the truth,
and they're looking for any that was incorrect so they
can go online and say that he's lying. Is this
(08:04):
is the internet in twenty twenty four, But unfortunately the
internet plays such a huge role in everything even if
we can't fully get to the truth that we're just
left with our palms in the air. People on the
left think everything that they consume is correct, people on
the far right think everything they consume is correct. And
the people who are looking for the true facts in
the middle there's nowhere to go for them. There's nowhere
to go. Unless you're reading all of these things and
(08:25):
you come to some comprehensive aggregation of what you've seen,
you're not gonna have legitimate effects to make your opinion on.
You just have to basically trust that certain sources are
going to tell you this is how it is, or
this isn't how it is, or this guy's lying, or
that person's lying, or this person says that this is
going on, and that's not necessarily always the truth, and
there's just no way to get around it man, and
(08:46):
I don't know, I'm incredibly overwhelmed. I almost just want
the Internet to get nerfed as far as you know,
politics are concerned, and we go back to the old
days of you know, political soapboxes town to town. That's
probably a bad idea, but you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
it's just frustrating. It's frustrating. It's frustrating watching you know,
like I said, the conversation, it was whatever, but it
(09:08):
was frustrating watching the two sides basically war in the
comments about this, and nobody changes their mind.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Nobody has an open mind.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
You either like Trump, you don't like Trump, You've already
made up your mind before you listen to any of this.
If you don't like him, you're listening for the first
thing that you disagree with or you hate, you think
is a lie, and you're gonna go out there and
you're gonna try to stand up and be like.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Pitchfork's in torches.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
And if you already like Trump, you listened last night
and you're not in your head along the whole time.
You're like, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, he's got it. I
want this guy to be elected again. Yeah, And then
you like Elon Moore, You're like, oh yeah, and then
you probably like X more based on the way that
this went last night. He was like, oh yeah, Elon's cool.
X is great. I'm gonna get back on there. That's
what I got out of it. Now, that's not the
only thing people got out of it. A Trump rival
(09:53):
basically says, the groundwork has been laid for Donald Trump
to do something that many people are afraid of, and
I will explain what this person said and get your
thoughts on it too. So stick around on news radio
eleven ten KFAB and Reese on news Radio eleven ten
KFAB Top.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Three Trump rivals politically of all time.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, So, like what if I told you Michael Jordan
lists his rivals? Yeah, Okay, I got you know, you
know what I mean. It's just like you'd probably say
something like, Reggie Miller's in there somewhere, Clyde Drexler may
yeah truck, Clydedrexler's in there, Charles Barkley might be in there,
Karl Malone might be in there, that kind of thing,
and then you rank them like, okay, so who's like
the most notable I'm asking you about the Donald Trump
(10:37):
biggest political rivals, your top three off the top of
your noggin, what's up?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
First one I would think I would would be Hillary Clinton.
Mm hmmm, hmmmm hmmm. I would say that's number one
to me too.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I would say, you gotta have a big one from
his own party. I'm leaning towards saying Chris Christie because
it's fascinating that he was the first person to endorse him,
but then so public ran against him in a sort
of like not even a real campaign, just like I'm
here to make sure he doesn't win sort of way.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, that exactly is what, uh why Chris Christy probably
doesn't have much legitimacy anymore because of that big switcher
root I would I would say Biden's got to be
in there, obviously, because they ran a presidential election. I
think the Hillary thing is a bigger one. Okay, who'd
be third? Though I don't think it's Kamala It's too
early for that.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Hmmm.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I would say somebody who's not immediately in the conversation,
but somebody who's so starkly anti Trump that I'd consider
as Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Okay, you know feel to burn right? Sure?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I mean if as far as an ideological spectrum, like
you can't really get farther apart, you know, right.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And I'll tell you what Bernie had to say about
what Donald Trump is kind of laying the groundwork for.
But first I want to get to the phone lines
at four h two five five, eight eleven ten, and
we got Tracy there. Tracy, thanks for being on the
show today.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
What's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
I just was, you know, watching the news where they
kind of show the little clip of the Mala Harris
single week or two go, the first time she ever talked,
you know, and the last time anyway, Oh, red, white
and blue in the crowd. You go watch a Trump
rally and white and blue everywhere. Yes, they just hate America.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, I mean I'd have to pay closer attention Tracy
to that.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
But the watch one next time and you steal se
me nothing I didn't see.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Nothing, Yeah I will, I will, Tracy. I appreciate you
mentioning that too.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Us.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
We keep an eye on that next time. Okay, great,
d yep, you two all right. So Bernie Sanders, so
this is what he says, and this is Bernie. On
his official social media accounts, he put out this little
release and it says news Sanders statement on Trump laying
groundwork for election denial.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Dont dunn here it is.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Senator Bernie Sanders, Independent of Vermont, on Tuesday released the
following statement on former President Torontald Trump's efforts to lay
the groundwork to deny the results of the twenty twenty
four election. And here's the coth Donald Trump may be crazy,
but he's not stupid. When he claims that nobody showed
up at a ten thousand person Harris Walls rally in
Michigan that was live streamed and widely covered by the media,
that it was all ai and that Democrats cheat all
(13:09):
the time, there is a method to his madness. Clearly
and dangerously, what Trump is doing is laying the groundwork
for rejecting the election results if he loses. If you
can convince your supporters that thousands of people who attended
a televised rally do not exist, it will not be
hard to convince them that the election returns in Pennsylvania,
Michigan and elsewhere are fake and fraudulent. This is what
(13:29):
it's destroying faith in institutions is all about. This is
what undermining democracy is about. This is what fascism is about.
This is why we must do everything we can to
see that Trump is defeated.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
End quote. So what say you, Matt?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I mean, this is kind of rich coming from the
Ideological Party, not that Bernie belongs to the Democratic Party,
but the other side, the anti Trump side that basically
told us that Joe Biden was just fine and that
everything was deep faked, of him stumbling around like a
zombie for a few months leading up to that first debate.
Is it kind of rich hearing him say that the
AI claims are you know, done maliciously with the idea
(14:08):
of trying to bamboozle American voters.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You know, he's so he's saying that that's going to
be the excuse if it doesn't go his way in November.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
That's what Bernie says.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Bernie's saying that there's not that many people showing up
for Harris rallies. They've they're you know, deep faking or
AI ing them. Bernie is saying that they are. Bernie
is saying that Trump is saying that. But the reason
Trump is saying that is because he wants to say, oh, well,
not many people are supporting them, So people won't believe
the election.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Results in November. Oh I see, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
So I'm just like, these are the same people that
told us that Biden was fine and all the you
know videos of him acting really old and stumbling around
or deep fakes and AI.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
So which is it like on once?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I can claim AI is messing around and edited and
you know a bunch of you know, Biden stumbling around videos,
But the other guy saying that AI could be utilize
even if it's not true, like the other guy saying
AI is involved as all of a sudden across the
line and maliciously done to bamboozoo American voters.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I mean, if you're asking me, you know how I feel.
I think they're both liars.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Like exactly, exactly, no, no, And that's that's correct, right.
And I'm not saying that Donald Trump truly thinks that,
because I think he just throws a lot of stuff
out there to generate reactions. He's generating reactions here, and
this is what the fear mongering part of this is.
And this isn't to say that Bertie Sanders can't have
an opinion, but when you look at his opinion here,
he is saying this with the idea that Donald Trump
(15:31):
needs to lose because he's a big liar and he's
trying to get people to think that the election results
will be fake. Now I don't think that's the case,
because he said a lot of things, including last night,
that he would want he wants everything to be fair,
and he will accept whatever election results.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Assuming things are fair.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Time is going to tell on that we're going to
have an election in a few months, and that's going
to tell us everything we need to know about the
way that that's going to be handled, not just by
the candidates themselves, but also by the people that are
voting for them. But at the same time, this this
is the kind of thing that is spread by people
on the left against Trump, saying he is a threat,
not just emotionally, not just with his policies, but his
(16:10):
supporters are a threat that if you don't give him
their way, or if they lose, they're going to just
blame the system as the reason they lost. And I
think that is terrible that you can't talk about the
policies of how you're going to beat him. You're just
gonna say, well, look at him, he's a big liar.
That's probably not a good Bernie. He's so it's a
big liar that you have to maintain all of the
(16:31):
integrity of our fair and free elections.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, you kind of sound like is a Yogi
bearra Oh yeah, yeah, but that's good.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I never knew that there's kind of a comparison there.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I feel like one thing we definitely have to do
is look at Denmark, the best democratic socialism on the planet.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
You know, one thing that old Yogi and Bernie have
in common, they're both looking for a free meal. Yeah,
and well one of them is at the other one's
almost dead. Say, that's also something they have in common.
Not that I'm cheering for that, I'm just you know,
making an observation. Two twenty nine. You got thoughts on it?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Do you think Donald Trump really is planting the seats
so he can deny election results? Call us now four
oh two, five to five, eight to eleven ten.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Four oh two, five five, eight, eleven ten news Radio
eleven ten Kfaby Emery Sunger on news radio eleven ten
kfab the Red, White, and Blue bunting bunting.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, it's like the thing that they put an opening
day for all baseball teams. You know the red white
and blue thing that just like hangs from like a
balcony and stuff. Okay, sure, yeah, there's a bunch of that,
And there's a bunch of stars and people wearing bracelets
that are lighting up red and blue at this at
this thing.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I looked up a video. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I think there's less red white and blue, but it's
not like there's no red white and blue. We had
a caller Tracy last segment that you know, said good
luck finding red white and blue at a Harrison wall,
And I don't know, it's there. It may not be
as much as like Donald Trump, but I just don't
think that we can properly judge the level of liking
(18:11):
or disliking America based on just the amount of red,
white and blue that we're seeing there, because it's definitely there.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Am I blind?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Here?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Are you seeing the same things? I'm seeing the same things?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
And when he called in, it reminded me a little
bit of when now this is going back Away's emory
when Bill Callahan was the head coach of Nebraska of Nebraska,
he was wearing beige when people thought he should have
been wearing red and that caused a little bit of
a controversy, you know, So it just reminded me of
that a little bit. But yeah, I was seeing the
same thing in the pictures. I've seen some red and blue.
(18:43):
I've seen even some like hues of red and blue
that were not like the primary red and blue.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
But yeah, still kind of there.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And yeah, well, this is one thing that we do know.
And this isn't an attack on the caller. It's not
an attack on anybody who doesn't like the Democrats or whatever.
But we're getting kind of arbitrary talking about reds and blues,
aren't we. I hate to be this guy, but if
we're going to be talking about policies, platforms, what makes
(19:13):
America better greater? I'm just not subscribing to the fact
that these people subliminally are trying to say they dislike
the United States of America. I just I don't. I
don't see that. They don't govern the way a lot
of us would like them to. They're far from the
worst people. I can't say that either, because people will
jump on me about that. They may be awful to
(19:34):
you in your opinion, there are still a lot of
people who think they're doing the right things. People in
major metropolitan areas mostly, or people that just like one
or two things that you know are allowed or legalized
or banished or government ran when they don't probably need
to be. There are a lot of people out there
that have different perspectives between you know, Republicans and Democrats.
For every single person, and I say this a lot,
(19:55):
I know, but I find it to be pretty darn
accurate most of the time. For every thing that you
believe in yourself, there is a very opposite person in
America somewhere that believes the exact opposite where you guys
are not going to have a lot of middle ground
on almost anything politically. That person is real, and that
person is going to vote the opposite of what you're
going to vote on. That's kind of the beauty of
(20:16):
our system is that the people with strong opinions, as
long as they keep their voices heard, the people in
the middle are going to generally decide the election, which
puts a yonus on the politicians and the parties themselves
to have platforms to make themselves electable so they can
then put their agendas through and try to make America
or their state or their district or their county or
(20:40):
their city, or their school board or whatever we're talking about,
and make that the best it can be by representing
the constituents that voted for them. That's politics. It doesn't
all have to be very subliminal. Well, they must hate
America because they don't have enough red and blue, red,
white and blue in the crowd when they do these rallies.
I'm sorry, I just every single time I see Karine
(21:02):
John Pierre speaking in the White House, there's two American
flags behind her. What am I supposed to think about that?
The presence of a couple of American flags should change
my opinion about how patriotic Karine John Pierre is.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I'm skeptical. Haven't crossed the line yet? Have you had
a mutiny?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
No? Your mic is still on? All right, that's good,
That's probably good. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I don't agree necessarily with Bernie Sanders' assessment that Donald
Trump is literally just talking about AI being utilized to
make Kamala's rallies look better. I honestly think that he's
saying that ingest a lot of it. So many people
take every little thing that he says one percent serious.
If you watch videos of him just hanging out with
(21:43):
people like dare I say the Bryson de Shambau golf video. Again,
he says stuff kind of with like a ry smile
because he knows he's gonna get a reaction, and just
too many people on both sides take everything he says
incredibly seriously. We don't allow for any sort of star
chasm or communication of you know, maybe a different way.
He's an entertainer, right as a speaker. He's an entertainer.
(22:08):
He knows how to get the people watching and paying attention.
Yet here we are, we are writing down every single
thing that he says, and there are people on CNN
and MSNBC and all those left wingy, you know, news
outlets that are literally writing every single thing down as
if he's trying to memorize exact specific things. I did
a report once on the Civil War, is I think
more specifically a battle of Gettysburg back in like seventh
(22:30):
or eighth grade. You want to know what happened, hmm,
I got docked points. It was we did like a
little skit of a couple of different miniature battles related
to Gettysburg and there were judges from around town that
came and watched us do this skit. It was us
against another group that did a skit, and we, you know,
probably were underprepared. We didn't really know what we were doing.
(22:51):
But we took a bunch of information, put it on
note cards, and were trying to, you know, do this thing.
That was a little skit that educated some people over
a five minut span on the Civil War and the
Battle of Gettysburg. And I got docked points because two
of the judges were apparently Civil War buffs and said
that I said incorrect information about some of the I
(23:13):
think one of it was the casualties and another thing
was the geographical location of one of the hills.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I was duck points for that.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
It's like you don't get well, you get the gist
of it, Come on, right, Maybe my source wasn't exactly
the sources that they learned from, but I was docked
because the judges didn't agree with the numbers. I was saying,
that's what we're doing right now. And again, to be fair,
it's both parties. You say one thing that's just a
slight embellishment from the actual truth, or something that's a
(23:44):
rounded off number or something that makes it more exciting
or entertaining to listen to, Like when Trump says the
best ever or the worst ever had he does it
all the time. That to me, I mean, if you
were going to be completely accurate, that is impossible. There's
no way something is always either the best ever or
the worst ever. It is not an objective thing. It's
(24:04):
very subjective. It's things that people have opinions on. But
people take it as if it's fact, and then they
fact check it and say, oh no, he said this
was the best ever under him, but this all happened
and it was all his fault.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's like you are missing the point man.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
He speaks to the American public in a way that
they are interested in hearing more. How many politicians can
you say ever had that skill or talent? Anyone so
much so that the people who hate this guy would
rather listen to him talk and hate listen so they
can fact check everything he says, then listen to their
own people try to come up with whatever stuff they're
(24:40):
trying to run on a platform for.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
It's just blowing my mind over here. What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I don't care that there may not be the right
shades of red, white and blue at these rallies. And
I don't care how much of red, white and blue
there are at the rallies.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
This is not like.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
The Olympics where I'm like very closely watching what these
people are, you know, doing as they represent our nations. No,
these are people running to be the leader of our nation.
And I'll be honest with you, I'm not going to
agree with a lot of what the policies are for somebody,
probably like Kamala Harris, but you want to know one thing.
One thing that I do know is that if she wins,
(25:13):
she's going to have to govern the way that she
says she's governed could be very much like Joe Biden.
And we can say, if you're a conservative, well, they
hate America because of all of these policies they're making
their intentionally tanking this country. But like I said, half
of America obviously agrees with what they're doing. And it's
been like that since the dawn of our constitutional federal republic.
(25:36):
We have a lot of people with very different opinions
about how we should be operating as a nation. And
it's been that way every single presidential election. Very few
times have there been legitimate electoral college land sides. And
you know why, because people are generally split on their opinions.
Those people exist, and I'm not going to go out
(25:57):
of my way to say they all hate America. They
just see America is a very different thing than a
lot of us conservatives do. We need to start talking
about why our policies make more sense, why our policies
make America great again, and not that well, they have
less red, white and blue on their stages during their rallies,
and they hate America and that's a pretty obvious signal
for it. That's not what I want to be spending
(26:18):
my time talking about. Yet here I am Matt. You've
let me talk about this for eight straight minutes. It's
all your fault. It's all my fault. Write that down people,
all who to blame? Yeah, it's your fault, your fault.
I did this thing that I said I shouldn't be
doing right now?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
All right?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, two forty nine, I'll come back, wrap things up. Hey,
can you want to give away an F next? Sure,
let's change it up. You get an f next. News
Radio eleven ten kfab em Very songer on news Radio
eleven ten kfab
When mommy and daddy get old, they happen to, uh,
you know, do stuff that just blends the days together,
and you're gonna have to forgive them. And that's where
I'm at. Did you do you see any of this
Elon Trump thing? I heard that it crashed, it did
too many people trying to watch it.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah, that is that the final word on it, because
it wasn't told Elon saying it was a D D
O S attack Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Or whatever you think.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Uh and when he's got to be careful, Okay, here
you go.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I'm just gonna say it and screw it. I'm just
gonna say it.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Say it Elon being a specific part of this conversation,
all right, this interview, if you will. Uh Mmm, I
can't believe everything anything he says.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
He's too he's too close to the situation. How's that
you can't believe his.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
If he if he explains that it was an attack
or whatever, I am not very specifically going to just
like up and believe him.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, we need a third party investigation.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Like X posted this overnight said between seven forty seven
pm and ten forty seven pm, that's a three hour window.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
That this is like on Twitter spaces.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
So this wasn't like a pre recorded video like I
thought it probably would be of those guys just joshing around. No,
it was just them chatting, and it was like a
radio broadcast if you will, just over X and people
could log into and it went over two hours the
post itself. According to X, they posted this and this
is Eastern times seven forty seven and ten forty seven pm,
(01:44):
seventy three million views, and they are about four million
posts about the conversation, which generated a total of nine
hundred and ninety eight million views. Now that's coming from
the X account talking about X things.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Can I believe that? I don't know?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Is that fair? Is it fair for me to like
just question and everything right now?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
It's a little bit fair. It's kind of like, you
know when you see those products on the shelf at
the grocery store and they say new look, but same
great taste, and I say, I'll be the one to
determine how it tastes, thank you very much. Generic pop tarts,
great value, strawberry strusel.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I was gonna say, they don't call them pop tarts? Yeah,
what do they call them? Like flavored cardboard? Oh? Come On.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
That's the generic pop tarts. That's what I used to
call them. Yeah, I'm a bit cynical.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I apologize.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, well, there's a bunch of things that happened. It
was two hours long. I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I just.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Is it bad that I didn't sit there and listen
to the whole thing? Matt, Well, you had to wait
for a while first off, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Forty commitment.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, it's late, and I was at the fair and
I was doing all sorts of stuff trying to have
fun here, so I skimmed through, you know, the parts
that people were sharing online. Elon praised Donald Trump for,
you know, some of his policies and some of his
perspectives on things, and that was I think predicted, and
(03:08):
then gave him an endorsement, which I think also was predicted.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Not a whole lot going on there.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
It was rementioned, which it needed to be for legal purposes,
that that was sponsored by or paid for by Donald J.
Trump for twenty four for President twenty twenty four incorporated.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
So he paid for the interview. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I don't know exactly how it works, Matt, I'll be honest,
but they had to mention that it was like paid for,
like there was promotional in it, right, even though Elon
would have endorsed him anyway, Elon, I think the return
to X and then the big push that X gave
(03:49):
it when they paid for X to push it, I
think they have to buy law put that there. Even
if they're not paying specifically for the interview, they've paid
Twitter or X to advertise on it to generate you.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
That makes sense, right because of campaign financi laws. It's
not like they paid for the interview. They just paid
to advertise it on the platform they were using to
do the interview, and it made waves because he hadn't
been on that platform for three years essentially, right, how
can I miss you if you're never gone? That kind
of thing right now. This isn't to say that he
didn't have a good reason for leaving X. He created
(04:26):
and you know, with the help of you know, the
whiz kids at his fingertips, they built truth social a
platform where you go there and you literally can just
do whatever you want. There wasn't overlords looking down and
censoring or silencing things. It was all people who are
very like minded going into their own social media platform
to be around people, or be around posts, or be
(04:48):
around celebrities that think like them.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Well, and the great thing is you don't even have
to fact check anything because as such, the way it's labeled,
it is the truth.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Well yeah, but on top of that, even the fact
checking X, I don't know if you've gone on there,
there are community notes people can add, and so many
of those are fact checked in the comments, like community notes,
like they will. There will be something in a video
or a post, somebody will community notes that and say
this isn't true. These are the real facts, and then
somebody in the comments will be fact checking the fact
(05:18):
check in the internet in twenty twenty four, I don't
know if there is such a thing as the truth, Matt.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Is there such a thing as the truth?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Is there anything that we can truly fact check and
be like, we learned this before social media even became
a thing. Right, You would do like your composition. Were
you in a comp class, like a composition class, I was, yeah,
me too, And they tell you very specifically, especially when
you're in composition two, which was when you were writing.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
It wasn't like creative writing. It was more like research.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You know how to do the proper notations of your bibliography,
and you have to have so many sources and all
that stuff like what do they call that APA or whatever,
the APA formatting or whatever like, you have to do
all of that so properly. And half of the sources,
even if they were like listed on the internet, the
(06:07):
Internet was just never considered as a legitimate source. You
had to have like a book, you had to have
a newspaper. You had to have some sort of person
a person interview that you had, not something that was
recorded on the internet. It was something you did and
wrote down otherwise it didn't fit the format. I mean,
there are so many things, especially when you get to
like journalism as we know journalism to be, you can't
(06:30):
like this was before social media or like at the
dawn of social media in the mid two thousands, you.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Couldn't do that.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You couldn't just jump on the Internet and be like, yeah,
i'll notate this, Yeah I'll notate this. You had to
have like a true source that wasn't Internet related. And
this is the thing about watching the pieces that I
did see last night.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Again, there wasn't much to learn.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It was just you know, a conversation's like you it
kind of felt like you were just having a beer
with you know, Trump and Elon.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
That was and I bet that's kind of what the
point was.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
But for somebody that follows the cycle all the time,
it was whatever. But they can just say all they want,
and there are people in the chat that are like, oh, yeah,
they're one hundred percent right on this, and there are
people in the chat that were saying, oh no, they
completely got this wrong. The uh, you know, conservative leaning
news organizations today, if you go and look at their
complete you know, rundown of all the things that are
(07:21):
notable or that they fact checked, there's not a whole
lot of reporting being done on the conversation, especially because
you know, they weren't paid to do it. But if
you look at some of the liberal ones like CNN,
and you look at the like the the Axiosies of
the World and stuff, and some of the more liberal
writers in the opinions and also like they'll have here's
total fact check on Elon Muskin and Donald Trump, and
(07:42):
there's a laundry list of things they say isn't true
or was you know, embellished or was it totally facked
little bit falsehoods, because that's what they do, and they're
trying to find every little thing that he says attribute
it as if he's saying everything very specifically with the truth,
and they're looking for any that was incorrect so they
can go online and say that he's lying. Is this
(08:04):
is the internet in twenty twenty four, But unfortunately the
internet plays such a huge role in everything even if
we can't fully get to the truth that we're just
left with our palms in the air. People on the
left think everything that they consume is correct, people on
the far right think everything they consume is correct. And
the people who are looking for the true facts in
the middle there's nowhere to go for them. There's nowhere
to go. Unless you're reading all of these things and
(08:25):
you come to some comprehensive aggregation of what you've seen,
you're not gonna have legitimate effects to make your opinion on.
You just have to basically trust that certain sources are
going to tell you this is how it is, or
this isn't how it is, or this guy's lying, or
that person's lying, or this person says that this is
going on, and that's not necessarily always the truth, and
there's just no way to get around it man, and
(08:46):
I don't know, I'm incredibly overwhelmed. I almost just want
the Internet to get nerfed as far as you know,
politics are concerned, and we go back to the old
days of you know, political soapboxes town to town. That's
probably a bad idea, but you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
it's just frustrating. It's frustrating. It's frustrating watching you know,
like I said, the conversation, it was whatever, but it
(09:08):
was frustrating watching the two sides basically war in the
comments about this, and nobody changes their mind.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Nobody has an open mind.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
You either like Trump, you don't like Trump, You've already
made up your mind before you listen to any of this.
If you don't like him, you're listening for the first
thing that you disagree with or you hate, you think
is a lie, and you're gonna go out there and
you're gonna try to stand up and be like.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Pitchfork's in torches.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
And if you already like Trump, you listened last night
and you're not in your head along the whole time.
You're like, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, he's got it. I
want this guy to be elected again. Yeah, And then
you like Elon Moore, You're like, oh yeah, and then
you probably like X more based on the way that
this went last night. He was like, oh yeah, Elon's cool.
X is great. I'm gonna get back on there. That's
what I got out of it. Now, that's not the
only thing people got out of it. A Trump rival
(09:53):
basically says, the groundwork has been laid for Donald Trump
to do something that many people are afraid of, and
I will explain what this person said and get your
thoughts on it too. So stick around on news radio
eleven ten KFAB and Reese on news Radio eleven ten
KFAB Top.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Three Trump rivals politically of all time.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, So, like what if I told you Michael Jordan
lists his rivals? Yeah, Okay, I got you know, you
know what I mean. It's just like you'd probably say
something like, Reggie Miller's in there somewhere, Clyde Drexler may
yeah truck, Clydedrexler's in there, Charles Barkley might be in there,
Karl Malone might be in there, that kind of thing,
and then you rank them like, okay, so who's like
the most notable I'm asking you about the Donald Trump
(10:37):
biggest political rivals, your top three off the top of
your noggin, what's up?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
First one I would think I would would be Hillary Clinton.
Mm hmmm, hmmmm hmmm. I would say that's number one
to me too.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I would say, you gotta have a big one from
his own party. I'm leaning towards saying Chris Christie because
it's fascinating that he was the first person to endorse him,
but then so public ran against him in a sort
of like not even a real campaign, just like I'm
here to make sure he doesn't win sort of way.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, that exactly is what, uh why Chris Christy probably
doesn't have much legitimacy anymore because of that big switcher
root I would I would say Biden's got to be
in there, obviously, because they ran a presidential election. I
think the Hillary thing is a bigger one. Okay, who'd
be third? Though I don't think it's Kamala It's too
early for that.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Hmmm.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I would say somebody who's not immediately in the conversation,
but somebody who's so starkly anti Trump that I'd consider
as Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Okay, you know feel to burn right? Sure?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I mean if as far as an ideological spectrum, like
you can't really get farther apart, you know, right.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And I'll tell you what Bernie had to say about
what Donald Trump is kind of laying the groundwork for.
But first I want to get to the phone lines
at four h two five five, eight eleven ten, and
we got Tracy there. Tracy, thanks for being on the
show today.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
What's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
I just was, you know, watching the news where they
kind of show the little clip of the Mala Harris
single week or two go, the first time she ever talked,
you know, and the last time anyway, Oh, red, white
and blue in the crowd. You go watch a Trump
rally and white and blue everywhere. Yes, they just hate America.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, I mean I'd have to pay closer attention Tracy
to that.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
But the watch one next time and you steal se
me nothing I didn't see.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Nothing, Yeah I will, I will, Tracy. I appreciate you
mentioning that too.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Us.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
We keep an eye on that next time. Okay, great,
d yep, you two all right. So Bernie Sanders, so
this is what he says, and this is Bernie. On
his official social media accounts, he put out this little
release and it says news Sanders statement on Trump laying
groundwork for election denial.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Dont dunn here it is.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Senator Bernie Sanders, Independent of Vermont, on Tuesday released the
following statement on former President Torontald Trump's efforts to lay
the groundwork to deny the results of the twenty twenty
four election. And here's the coth Donald Trump may be crazy,
but he's not stupid. When he claims that nobody showed
up at a ten thousand person Harris Walls rally in
Michigan that was live streamed and widely covered by the media,
that it was all ai and that Democrats cheat all
(13:09):
the time, there is a method to his madness. Clearly
and dangerously, what Trump is doing is laying the groundwork
for rejecting the election results if he loses. If you
can convince your supporters that thousands of people who attended
a televised rally do not exist, it will not be
hard to convince them that the election returns in Pennsylvania,
Michigan and elsewhere are fake and fraudulent. This is what
(13:29):
it's destroying faith in institutions is all about. This is
what undermining democracy is about. This is what fascism is about.
This is why we must do everything we can to
see that Trump is defeated.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
End quote. So what say you, Matt?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I mean, this is kind of rich coming from the
Ideological Party, not that Bernie belongs to the Democratic Party,
but the other side, the anti Trump side that basically
told us that Joe Biden was just fine and that
everything was deep faked, of him stumbling around like a
zombie for a few months leading up to that first debate.
Is it kind of rich hearing him say that the
AI claims are you know, done maliciously with the idea
(14:08):
of trying to bamboozle American voters.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You know, he's so he's saying that that's going to
be the excuse if it doesn't go his way in November.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
That's what Bernie says.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Bernie's saying that there's not that many people showing up
for Harris rallies. They've they're you know, deep faking or
AI ing them. Bernie is saying that they are. Bernie
is saying that Trump is saying that. But the reason
Trump is saying that is because he wants to say, oh, well,
not many people are supporting them, So people won't believe
the election.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Results in November. Oh I see, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
So I'm just like, these are the same people that
told us that Biden was fine and all the you
know videos of him acting really old and stumbling around
or deep fakes and AI.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
So which is it like on once?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I can claim AI is messing around and edited and
you know a bunch of you know, Biden stumbling around videos,
But the other guy saying that AI could be utilize
even if it's not true, like the other guy saying
AI is involved as all of a sudden across the
line and maliciously done to bamboozoo American voters.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I mean, if you're asking me, you know how I feel.
I think they're both liars.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Like exactly, exactly, no, no, And that's that's correct, right.
And I'm not saying that Donald Trump truly thinks that,
because I think he just throws a lot of stuff
out there to generate reactions. He's generating reactions here, and
this is what the fear mongering part of this is.
And this isn't to say that Bertie Sanders can't have
an opinion, but when you look at his opinion here,
he is saying this with the idea that Donald Trump
(15:31):
needs to lose because he's a big liar and he's
trying to get people to think that the election results
will be fake. Now I don't think that's the case,
because he said a lot of things, including last night,
that he would want he wants everything to be fair,
and he will accept whatever election results.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Assuming things are fair.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Time is going to tell on that we're going to
have an election in a few months, and that's going
to tell us everything we need to know about the
way that that's going to be handled, not just by
the candidates themselves, but also by the people that are
voting for them. But at the same time, this this
is the kind of thing that is spread by people
on the left against Trump, saying he is a threat,
not just emotionally, not just with his policies, but his
(16:10):
supporters are a threat that if you don't give him
their way, or if they lose, they're going to just
blame the system as the reason they lost. And I
think that is terrible that you can't talk about the
policies of how you're going to beat him. You're just
gonna say, well, look at him, he's a big liar.
That's probably not a good Bernie. He's so it's a
big liar that you have to maintain all of the
(16:31):
integrity of our fair and free elections.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, you kind of sound like is a Yogi
bearra Oh yeah, yeah, but that's good.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I never knew that there's kind of a comparison there.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I feel like one thing we definitely have to do
is look at Denmark, the best democratic socialism on the planet.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
You know, one thing that old Yogi and Bernie have
in common, they're both looking for a free meal. Yeah,
and well one of them is at the other one's
almost dead. Say, that's also something they have in common.
Not that I'm cheering for that, I'm just you know,
making an observation. Two twenty nine. You got thoughts on it?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Do you think Donald Trump really is planting the seats
so he can deny election results? Call us now four
oh two, five to five, eight to eleven ten.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Four oh two, five five, eight, eleven ten news Radio
eleven ten Kfaby Emery Sunger on news radio eleven ten
kfab the Red, White, and Blue bunting bunting.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, it's like the thing that they put an opening
day for all baseball teams. You know the red white
and blue thing that just like hangs from like a
balcony and stuff. Okay, sure, yeah, there's a bunch of that,
And there's a bunch of stars and people wearing bracelets
that are lighting up red and blue at this at
this thing.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I looked up a video. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I think there's less red white and blue, but it's
not like there's no red white and blue. We had
a caller Tracy last segment that you know, said good
luck finding red white and blue at a Harrison wall,
And I don't know, it's there. It may not be
as much as like Donald Trump, but I just don't
think that we can properly judge the level of liking
(18:11):
or disliking America based on just the amount of red,
white and blue that we're seeing there, because it's definitely there.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Am I blind?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Here?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Are you seeing the same things? I'm seeing the same things?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
And when he called in, it reminded me a little
bit of when now this is going back Away's emory
when Bill Callahan was the head coach of Nebraska of Nebraska,
he was wearing beige when people thought he should have
been wearing red and that caused a little bit of
a controversy, you know, So it just reminded me of
that a little bit. But yeah, I was seeing the
same thing in the pictures. I've seen some red and blue.
(18:43):
I've seen even some like hues of red and blue
that were not like the primary red and blue.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
But yeah, still kind of there.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And yeah, well, this is one thing that we do know.
And this isn't an attack on the caller. It's not
an attack on anybody who doesn't like the Democrats or whatever.
But we're getting kind of arbitrary talking about reds and blues,
aren't we. I hate to be this guy, but if
we're going to be talking about policies, platforms, what makes
(19:13):
America better greater? I'm just not subscribing to the fact
that these people subliminally are trying to say they dislike
the United States of America. I just I don't. I
don't see that. They don't govern the way a lot
of us would like them to. They're far from the
worst people. I can't say that either, because people will
jump on me about that. They may be awful to
(19:34):
you in your opinion, there are still a lot of
people who think they're doing the right things. People in
major metropolitan areas mostly, or people that just like one
or two things that you know are allowed or legalized
or banished or government ran when they don't probably need
to be. There are a lot of people out there
that have different perspectives between you know, Republicans and Democrats.
For every single person, and I say this a lot,
(19:55):
I know, but I find it to be pretty darn
accurate most of the time. For every thing that you
believe in yourself, there is a very opposite person in
America somewhere that believes the exact opposite where you guys
are not going to have a lot of middle ground
on almost anything politically. That person is real, and that
person is going to vote the opposite of what you're
going to vote on. That's kind of the beauty of
(20:16):
our system is that the people with strong opinions, as
long as they keep their voices heard, the people in
the middle are going to generally decide the election, which
puts a yonus on the politicians and the parties themselves
to have platforms to make themselves electable so they can
then put their agendas through and try to make America
or their state or their district or their county or
(20:40):
their city, or their school board or whatever we're talking about,
and make that the best it can be by representing
the constituents that voted for them. That's politics. It doesn't
all have to be very subliminal. Well, they must hate
America because they don't have enough red and blue, red,
white and blue in the crowd when they do these rallies.
I'm sorry, I just every single time I see Karine
(21:02):
John Pierre speaking in the White House, there's two American
flags behind her. What am I supposed to think about that?
The presence of a couple of American flags should change
my opinion about how patriotic Karine John Pierre is.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I'm skeptical. Haven't crossed the line yet? Have you had
a mutiny?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
No? Your mic is still on? All right, that's good,
That's probably good. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I don't agree necessarily with Bernie Sanders' assessment that Donald
Trump is literally just talking about AI being utilized to
make Kamala's rallies look better. I honestly think that he's
saying that ingest a lot of it. So many people
take every little thing that he says one percent serious.
If you watch videos of him just hanging out with
(21:43):
people like dare I say the Bryson de Shambau golf video. Again,
he says stuff kind of with like a ry smile
because he knows he's gonna get a reaction, and just
too many people on both sides take everything he says
incredibly seriously. We don't allow for any sort of star
chasm or communication of you know, maybe a different way.
He's an entertainer, right as a speaker. He's an entertainer.
(22:08):
He knows how to get the people watching and paying attention.
Yet here we are, we are writing down every single
thing that he says, and there are people on CNN
and MSNBC and all those left wingy, you know, news
outlets that are literally writing every single thing down as
if he's trying to memorize exact specific things. I did
a report once on the Civil War, is I think
more specifically a battle of Gettysburg back in like seventh
(22:30):
or eighth grade. You want to know what happened, hmm,
I got docked points. It was we did like a
little skit of a couple of different miniature battles related
to Gettysburg and there were judges from around town that
came and watched us do this skit. It was us
against another group that did a skit, and we, you know,
probably were underprepared. We didn't really know what we were doing.
(22:51):
But we took a bunch of information, put it on
note cards, and were trying to, you know, do this thing.
That was a little skit that educated some people over
a five minut span on the Civil War and the
Battle of Gettysburg. And I got docked points because two
of the judges were apparently Civil War buffs and said
that I said incorrect information about some of the I
(23:13):
think one of it was the casualties and another thing
was the geographical location of one of the hills.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I was duck points for that.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
It's like you don't get well, you get the gist
of it, Come on, right, Maybe my source wasn't exactly
the sources that they learned from, but I was docked
because the judges didn't agree with the numbers. I was saying,
that's what we're doing right now. And again, to be fair,
it's both parties. You say one thing that's just a
slight embellishment from the actual truth, or something that's a
(23:44):
rounded off number or something that makes it more exciting
or entertaining to listen to, Like when Trump says the
best ever or the worst ever had he does it
all the time. That to me, I mean, if you
were going to be completely accurate, that is impossible. There's
no way something is always either the best ever or
the worst ever. It is not an objective thing. It's
(24:04):
very subjective. It's things that people have opinions on. But
people take it as if it's fact, and then they
fact check it and say, oh no, he said this
was the best ever under him, but this all happened
and it was all his fault.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's like you are missing the point man.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
He speaks to the American public in a way that
they are interested in hearing more. How many politicians can
you say ever had that skill or talent? Anyone so
much so that the people who hate this guy would
rather listen to him talk and hate listen so they
can fact check everything he says, then listen to their
own people try to come up with whatever stuff they're
(24:40):
trying to run on a platform for.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
It's just blowing my mind over here. What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I don't care that there may not be the right
shades of red, white and blue at these rallies. And
I don't care how much of red, white and blue
there are at the rallies.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
This is not like.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
The Olympics where I'm like very closely watching what these
people are, you know, doing as they represent our nations. No,
these are people running to be the leader of our nation.
And I'll be honest with you, I'm not going to
agree with a lot of what the policies are for somebody,
probably like Kamala Harris, but you want to know one thing.
One thing that I do know is that if she wins,
(25:13):
she's going to have to govern the way that she
says she's governed could be very much like Joe Biden.
And we can say, if you're a conservative, well, they
hate America because of all of these policies they're making
their intentionally tanking this country. But like I said, half
of America obviously agrees with what they're doing. And it's
been like that since the dawn of our constitutional federal republic.
(25:36):
We have a lot of people with very different opinions
about how we should be operating as a nation. And
it's been that way every single presidential election. Very few
times have there been legitimate electoral college land sides. And
you know why, because people are generally split on their opinions.
Those people exist, and I'm not going to go out
(25:57):
of my way to say they all hate America. They
just see America is a very different thing than a
lot of us conservatives do. We need to start talking
about why our policies make more sense, why our policies
make America great again, and not that well, they have
less red, white and blue on their stages during their rallies,
and they hate America and that's a pretty obvious signal
for it. That's not what I want to be spending
(26:18):
my time talking about. Yet here I am Matt. You've
let me talk about this for eight straight minutes. It's
all your fault. It's all my fault. Write that down people,
all who to blame? Yeah, it's your fault, your fault.
I did this thing that I said I shouldn't be
doing right now?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
All right?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, two forty nine, I'll come back, wrap things up. Hey,
can you want to give away an F next? Sure,
let's change it up. You get an f next. News
