Speaker 1 (00:00):
I want to get through the first couple of segments
and then we'll we'll take some calls here. But the
phone number, just to put it in your phone at
four oh two five five eight eleven ten. Four oh two,
five five eight eleven ten, and yeah, let's do that.
Let's let's let's have you call in at some point
as we talk about some important things today. Matt Case
is my producer. He's alongside. Hey, Matt, how's it going.
(00:20):
It's going pretty good. How are you good? I got this,
I got this letter. It's an envelope. It's got something
in it.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
M hmm.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I can feel it. The weight is enough to where
there are four stamps. They needed to put four of
these stamps on here to get this scent in the mail.
This was this was mailed to me, and it says
the charming and effervescent emery songer.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Hm.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Effervescent quite quite a word. Let's get an adjective. Should
I open this right now? Yeah, let's just puff this
bad boy open, giving off bubbles? Fizzy? Is that what
that is?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Okay, let me see here or vivacious and enthusiastic. There's
two days yeah, now see, I think that's probably more
of what more of what this person is probably going for.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, what is that? What is that poetry?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
No, it's not poetry, it's it's it's uh, it's just
discussion points about stuff. Oh, I'll have to I'll have
to look through that when I have more time. Not
quite as exciting as I thought. It might have been
like a greeting card or something. Some meetings could have
just been an email. It looks like that letter could
have just been an email. Yeah. I mean, the only
(01:35):
person that would know who sent this is the one
that sent it and probably listening right now. And yeah,
I mean I'll read through it. I'll see what he
has to say.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
What what font was he used? Okay?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, I kind of pushed back on Times New Roman,
So Ariel is good Times New Romans overused.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I like Courier, Courier news. That's my that's my stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
All right. Well, before we think our ratings too badly,
let's go ahead and talk about something important. I got
a couple of things that got drug into politics. First
of all, old Nancy Pelosi still getting asked questions about
stuff I don't know. She said something along the lines
of when she was on TV this week that Trump
(02:21):
is a threat to the United States like the British
were a threat to the Thirteen Colonies. Now again, I
think this is tongue in chee. Could think she's trying
to illustrate that. You know, hey, you wouldn't want the
British invading you tomorrow, would you. I don't know, does
that one hit for you?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Hey, they want to try it.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I guess third times the charm, right, that'd be the
third time for the Brits.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Well, they kind of already had.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Us the first time. If you want to be you
want to be honest about it. We beat him in
a war to basically have our freedom. Then they tried
to take us back. Yeah, they tried that would and
then they were like, okay, yeah, probably these guys don't
like us. This is probably a bad idea, and.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Now we're like buddies.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Yeah, lull him into lull him into friendship, and then
you never see it coming. That's I honestly, I am
always on watch for when the Brits come back yet again.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
They got to break some lobster backs back over here. Yeah, sure, okay,
So Nitcey Pelosi suggested that Donald Trump would skip the
debate tomorrow. She was asked here at the Texas Tribune Festival,
which she was on a panel doing getting an interviewed.
She was asked, what advice would you give President former
(03:33):
President Trump ahead of the matchup on Tuesday, And she said,
you think he's going to show up? She's like, I know,
cowardice when I see it as if she's going to
run like he's he's going to be I don't know.
I remember when Nancy was behind him when he did
the State of the Union in twenty twenty, and she
ripped up the State of the Union, the copy of
the State of the Union address he was giving, and
(03:53):
she just ripped it in half for the cameras. She like,
she's all about performative politics, Like she just loves it
when there's something to like act out. It makes her
feel like she's in her own TV show. I mean,
remember the camera's following her around on January sixth, Like
when that came out, it was like her like panicking
(04:14):
and like all this stuff, like, hey, in turn film this,
it'll be good for the good for the brand. I
feel like Nancy really just wanted to be, you know,
the main character of her own TV sitcom or something,
maybe a drama, and she tried her best to create
one within Congress for many years, and here she is again. Oh,
Donald Trump, he may not show up. I know cowardice
(04:35):
when I see it. What would that do to the
If Donald Trump decides not to show up and take
on Kamala Harris tomorrow? What do you think would happen.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
To the polls? I don't think it would be good.
It wouldn't be good.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Abc'd be feel mad, like, wait a second, you agree
to this, We're gonna sue you. Look, and the Trump
campaign already was like, she's a liar. Nancy Pelosi is
a liar. But that led me to the next thing,
is like, well, you know what everybody's gonna say after
tomorrow night's debate. What's gonna be the one thing everybody's
(05:06):
gonna say? Everybody from left to right to in between.
What's the one thing you're gonna hear everybody say at
least a little bit as part of their discussion about
the debate after it's over, the one the one surefire thing, yep,
one surefire thing. Everyone will say, well, what do you
think is going to happen? Depending on which side the
person is on they're going to declare their candidate the winner,
(05:30):
and and then in in conversely they will say what
about the other candidate? Right, they will say they are
the loser and a another l word, a a liaring man.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I had a text today when I was doing the
Iowa Show.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Somebody was like, Hey, you know what would be interesting
is if they're you know, like they have that stat
cast on ESPN two during a big football and baseball games,
like a stat cast where you can watch the same
game but it's different broadcast, which basically is like going
through a bunch of analytical stats as things are going on.
ABC's got enough channels where why couldn't we have just
(06:10):
like real time like fact checks on the screen as
this happens. And I think it'd be fun after like
a commercial break later in the show, that they feed
the moderators a couple of questions to call out lies
that both of the candidates had earlier. Don't you think
that'd be kind of interesting, don't you think?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah? I don't see why you couldn't do it. Would
that change anything?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Though?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I Mean CNN literally has a guy that they hire
to be a quote fact checker, but he really just
fact checks Trump ninety percent of the time. He'll throw
in a few Bidener Harris fact checks every once in
a while when they do a live interview or they
show up on a debate stage, just to make it
seem like they're fair. But the only reason you're paying
attention to Daniel Dale and seeing in in the first
(06:52):
place most of the time is because you're already left leaning.
You want to hear all the lies that Donald Trump said.
You could do the exact same thing in the first debate.
Some of the more right wing websites and news outlets
went out of their way to fact check a bunch
of stuff that Joe Biden had to say all the
way down to his handicap.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
It's just weird that he's still the president. Like, we
haven't heard it. We haven't heard it all the time.
I haven't heard much from him, have you. No, he's
just kind of been behind the scenes. He's just been
eating ice cream in Delaware's He's just he's going to
the beach.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
He's going to He's going to whatever beach of Delaware has,
And you know he's sitting there and is a lazy
boy on the on the old beach and joining the
last bit of his relevancy and said much though has
he It's pretty weird. It's pretty weird. Indeed, Yeah, all right. Anyway,
Dance Pelosi says Donald Trump's not showing up. I would
be very surprised if Donald Trump did not show up
at the last minute to that debate tomorrow night. But
(07:46):
we're going to have a watch party there whether he's
there or not. And of course he's going to be there.
And what Berty Sanders say, Uh, this weekend, he showed
up on that Meet the Press show and he had
something to say about why Kamala Harris has changed some
of her ideas and some of her policies. What did
Bernie have to say? It's pretty interesting, and I'll say
(08:08):
that coming up on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And raised on her.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
They reunited at the US Open Championship over the weekend
in Flushing, madous and now all of a sudden, the
Swifties are saying, Taylor.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
No, don't go hang out with that Trump supporter.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Good talk about that a little bit too. What did
Bernie say. Well, Kristen Welker, who I have a lot
of respect for, works for NBC and she hosts Meet
the Press, and she said she basically called out Kamala's changing,
changing policies. Okay, so this was the question. She has
(08:47):
previously supported medicare for all, now she does not. She's
previously supported a ban on fracking, now she does not. These,
Senator Sanders are ideas that you have campaigned on. Do
you think she's abandoning her progressive ideals?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
End quote?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Okay, Okay, fair question, right, fair question to be asked, Matt.
You are Bernie Sanders. What do you think he says here?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I I read I read some snippets, so you cheat, cheated, cheated, Okay, but.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
What do you think he says? It's kind of funny,
you know, in context, it's like did he really just
say that? Right?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
It's kind of like, hey, thanks for being honest, and
that's the to be honestly, Like Bernie's kind of like that.
He'll just he'll just I mean, did you see his
interview with THEO Vaughn. Yeah, yeah, he is pretty honest
in that too. I mean THEO confronted him and said, hey,
the d n C really did you unfairly twice twice?
And he said, yeah, they sure did.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I mean he you know, well he's technically an independence,
so you know he doesn't know anybody anything.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I guess as far as that's going on.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Hey, no, if you didn't know, what he said is no,
I don't think she's abandoning her ideals.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Oh I can do a Bernie Boyce.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yeah, No, I don't think she's abandoning her ideals. I
do think she's trying to be pragmatic and do what
she thinks is right in order to win the election.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
What do you mean? Of course, this is what's going on.
And we talked about this on this show.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Straight up. Remember what I said.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
This is what I said, ladies and gentlemen, if if
if you, if you're new to the show, dear new,
then welcome to the truth factory over here. What I
said as Kamala changed her mind on several issues over
the last several weeks, including the border, including fracking, and
environmental restrictions on American businesses on several of the major
(10:44):
major issues, Medicare for all. You want to know what
I said, I said, she's doing this to win votes.
She's doing this to win the election. You are if
you are somebody who is deciding whether or not to
support Trump or whether or not you should be supporting Harris.
You're gonna have to weigh in your brain. You're gonna
(11:05):
have to try to weigh in your brain which person
is more likely telling the truth about what they will
do when you go to the polls. I use this analogy.
Nebraska played Colorado and football over the weekend. We could
talk all week long leading up to that Nebraska Colorado
game about what we think might happen, what we think
are the important factors, what we think are the keys
(11:26):
to the game, who the important players are, and then
you know what we should do. Let's take a poll
and everybody out there decide which side is gonna win
this game. You have to write down will who you
think is the better football team, and then we send
that in and then they send back the trophy and
we give it to the team that has the most votes.
In sports, we actually play the game, so we can
(11:48):
talk about it, but it means nothing. It really doesn't
mean much. We can get you prepared for it, We
get you ready for it. It's a lot of fun
to talk about, but they play the game. At the
end of the day, it's just sided on the field.
We elect the people, and then we have to hope
that they do the job that we have elected them
to do. This is a weird situation where we have
evidence of both of these people serving in some capacity
(12:10):
in the job that we're about to hire them. Kamala
Harris is trying to bank on the idea that you
don't attach her to the failing Biden administration. Donald Trump
actually did get to serve three or so good years
of a four year term before COVID nineteen turned everything
upside down.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
We have that evidence. We know what happened.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
However, that doesn't necessarily mean that the stuff that Donald
Trump is saying about abortion and he would veto a
federal ban on abortion, and Kamala Harris and her ban
on fracking, did you think she'd actually do that? You
think she's actually gonna spend money building that wall, You
think any of that's actually gonna happen. Maybe it will,
But you have to decide as a voter of all
(12:50):
of the stuff that you're being told. Now, as both
of these candidates rush back into the middle of America
to the moderate voters and try to scoop up some
of those topics and try to bridge those gaps, with
the people that feel disenfranchised by both sides, Which one
of these people can you trust more? And that's why
the whole liar thing that we've talked about before. That
makes a difference. Which of these two sides do you
(13:13):
think is more likely or less likely to be lying
to you? And the unfortunate thing is they cannot prove
it to you until after you voted. They're gonna need
to be in that office, they're gonna probably need to
have a cooperative Congress as well, So you better hope
that those races go the right way regardless of who
you vote for, and they're gonna have to, you know,
do whatever agenda they think is right. And then you
(13:34):
have to keep score at home and say, you know what,
you actually didn't do everything you said you did. However,
they're going to tell you they did everything that they
said they were going to do everything that you wanted
them to do. They did all that. Even if they didn't,
they'll tell you they did. You have to go find
people that can help explain all of the ins and
the outs of the stuff that they're lying about, because
it's not as easy as just going online and like
(13:55):
reading what was passing what wasn't past. There are a
lot of things that they said should have been passed.
For instance, how about that illegal immigration bill that they
say the bipart is in illegal immigration bill. There were
like four Republicans that pushed that, like four of them.
And you know why it didn't pass. It wasn't because
Donald Trump put the phone call into Mike Johnson and said, hey,
(14:16):
kill this before it gets out of there. No, what
ended up happening was there was a ton and I'm
talking ten of billions of dollars in foreign eight in there.
You think the headlines talked about that that much. Of
course they didn't, especially now when Kamala says, I'm going
to back that we need stricter rules at the at
the border. We're gonna pass this bill, We're gonna make
(14:37):
it more secure. Okay, Well, if she does do that,
I'd love you to read the fine print. Does it
actually make us safer? Does it actually change anything that's
happening down there right now? Is there any additional funding
that is going to help make the people of you know,
the border patrol empowered to actually turn people away who
are not American citizens. Those are all things I think
(15:00):
are worth talking about now, if they are, kudos, congratulations, Wow,
I'm glad that we finally were able to come to
an agreement on that. What took us so long? If
it's not, what are we even talking about here. It's
all about trying to trick you, the American voter, into
believing one side or the other. And that's the unfortunate
reality that we live in today. Now with social media,
we got a lot of people saying that both sides
(15:21):
are liars. There are people out there that do fact check.
Problem is a lot of the fact checkers are also
slanted one direction or the other. You can't necessarily believe
that everything that's being fact checked is truly incorrect. Maybe
they're taking some of what was set out of context
from either candidate. Maybe they say context was additional context
was needed and say, well, that technically was a lie.
(15:43):
And then some of the more blatant lives. We'll just
come out right and say all this stuff that is
incorrect about this one lie and completely ignore the other
candidate doing the exact same thing. I don't know, man,
What I do know is that we're going to be
paying attention to that debate tomorrow night, very very closely,
and American people are going to have to deduce ourselves
who won, who lost, who lied who didn't, and if
(16:05):
they both lied, who lied better, which that may end
up coming down to who wins this election. More on
the way phone lines will open up in the next
half hour on news Radio eleven to ten kfab Emrie Sunger.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I mean, it's main character energy what they're doing, especially Taylor,
you know, singing lip syncing to the song that's blaring
over the loudspeakers as loudly as they can, and knowing
there are a ton of cameras on them. I'm not
saying it's disingenuous. I'm just saying, is it cringe? Is
it cringe you to watch them lip syncing?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
This?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Is it cringey to watch Travis Kelcey look more embarrassed
and horrified than he is having fun for half of
that video. There are people speculating that, you know, maybe
he's afraid to touch her in different ways, you know,
like he's not super comfortable with their relationship at this point.
There have been rumors, of course, that there's like some
plot for them to break up at a very specific
point of the year.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I think that's the X file stuff. But what's what's
say you, Matt, Let's say to farm this out to you. Yeah,
let's see, Uh what is this?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Was it cringe? I don't know. Let me see if
I can find an opinion for.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
It, right, You're not the kind of person that's going
to be like, well, I.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Don't know, like, well, I've never really I mean, you know, I,
like everyone else check out at a grocery store and
see the tabloids and just think to myself, like gosh,
who sits around and thinks about this stuff? You know,
I don't know, like it's for me. It's just like, well,
she was kind of just acting like every other normal
person does. And it incidentally, there's always a camera on her.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah. Is that the kind of thing that you know,
like you're at a you're you're at a football game
or a basketball game or in this case, a tennis match,
and they start playing a song you really like over
the loudspeaker, You're going to be, you know, doing the
full on air guitar lip syncing. I mean, I'm not
even famous, and I don't, like, I don't even want
that attention.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
I don't know like if it was just me and
I was anonymous and just hanging out having fun with friends, Like, yeah,
that's a possibility. I used to drive around and my friends,
what was it. It was a green Dodge Shadow. He
used to drive around the back roads of York and
belt that song and sing along. And let me tell you,
that's not the same things.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I'm just telling you, Yeah, that's not the same thing
as what we're talking about here.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
It's not the same thing. They know there are cameras
all over them, but I don't know what that's like though.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Can you imagine living your life and there's just always
a camera on you when you're out in public. No,
I mean that would be exhausting. I feel like it
would be torturing. And you know what, she's doing well
with it, and partially because she definitely, as you've said,
you know, main character energy. She definitely has that, like
no doubt. I think that they both enjoy it to
a certain extent. But he definitely has the attention. I
(18:52):
don't know if he loves this kind of attention. Yeah, anyway,
he's wearing suspenders in a bucket has so you know,
whatever he has in his life that's going wrong he deserves.
With a mustache he had, he kind of looked like
a lampshade, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I don't know what the heck he's going for there,
but that's a mess.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I wanted to mention there's somebody else in the right
side of that video, and it's Brittany Mahomes because Patrick
Mahomes a Brittany Mahomes were there and there was like
this idea of falling out between Taylor and Brittany. They
became such great, you know, cohorts at these Chiefs games,
cheering on their guys, their men, right, and we all
(19:31):
knew Brittany would not be famous if it won for Patrick.
And she's also generally kind of a nightmares person as
far as social media goes. Right, there was one time
they won a game to win like the division or something,
and they were in their big box and she popped
a bottle of champagne just sprayed it on everybody in
front of her, like in the stands, and everybody's like.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Why is this woman like this? Why is she like that?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, she tries to be main character energy, but really
she's just super annoying. However, she did come out and
on social media people, you know, the super sluice out
there that fall these celebrities around, found out that she
had liked a bunch of Donald Trump, like positive Donald
Trump stuff on social media, you know, because that stuff
lives somewhere. So then they started going after Brittany and say, hey,
(20:15):
you're a terrible person because you like Donald Trump, you know,
all these swifties and whatever. And Brittany basically said, hey,
we're allowed to disagree on things, so whatever, you know.
And I don't like Brittany, but she has a point.
She has a point, and you should be allowed to
disagree and still have friendships. Right There used to be
a time in America where you didn't lead your new
(20:36):
friendships with your political ideologies.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
You know. Yeah, don't you miss those days. I've definitely
missed those days too.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
There was probably a time where I could do this
show and I don't have to talk about politics all
the time. But it's what everybody cares about right now,
and I take that responsibility wholeheartedly. Do you think I'm
going to walk around and have one of those blue
dots outside my house? Though everybody liked, the cool kid
thing around town is to have a blue dot outside
your house for you're voting Democrat. You can walk drive
(21:04):
through Midtown and Zarbon like there's a ton of them.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Obviously the Trump people have their red hats and their
own signs, the MAGA stuff. Right, I'm not gonna have
that stuff either. You'll never know. I mean, if you
listen to the show, you'll know. But like if you'll
never know if you're like meeting me for the first
time and you see me on a Husher game, or
you just want to say hey or something, you know,
the last thing I'm gonna be talking to you about
is generally gonna be politics, unless really like a political event.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
It's just not something that I'm leading with.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Right. There used to be a time where you could
be of something politically and not worry about it costing
you relationships with friendships, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
this is not that time in the history of mankind.
So I noticed on Thursday in the Taylor swift box
there was an absence. It was a first game of
the season. They got their rings. You'd think this is
(21:53):
a big deal for the Chiefs fans. Brittany was in
a different place watching the game, away from Taylor Swift.
I was the only one that noticed this. This was
all over social media. Taylor Swift now she's gonna pull
herself away from Brittany Mahomes because she doesn't want to
be known as somebody who acknowledges a Trump supporter. Well
guess what there, Mattie Boy, her and Brittany were hanging out,
(22:13):
high fiveing, hugging each other, and people got it all
on camera. And now the Swifties are coming after Taylor
now saying Taylor, no, you.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Can't talk to an actual Trump supporter. She's a bad versus.
She's come, stay away from her. What do you think
about that? Do you think about that there, buddy boy?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Me?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Uh yeah, the people are like that. Huh.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
You know, people online are nuts, man, But is that
You open up Twitter and it's just like what is happening?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
And then you close Twitter and you're like, oh, yeah,
that's just online.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Yeah, And you're right, mostly normal out in public, out
in the real world. I go to the gas station
and I see normal people everywhere. Then you get online
you think we're all nuts. But it's just online, man. Yeah,
I mean you make a good point. I'm seeing it.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I don't hang out with anybody who actually like is
a big Tailor Swift fan. So I guess I'm maybe
not in the loop. Maybe most of them don't actually care,
but online they care.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
And a lot of it, a lot of it could
be bots, you know, there is so much bot traffic online.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Elon has killed X I can't. It's hard.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I love the app because of what I've been able
to do on it, and it's easy to like organize stuff,
and it's gotten harder and harder to be on it.
It really has, it really has. And I'm gonna have
the guy who always you know, wants to call in
and be like, Elon save Twitter. It's like, ah, man,
I'd rather Twitter have just exploded and gone away then.
(23:37):
I mean, it is boded to death. There are hundreds
of bots on these popular posts. You can't even get
to real people commenting on it because of all of
the bots that are premium accounts that just are pre
programmed to just jump on anything that's trending in post ads.
Basically sucks anyway, congrats Elon, but you're right, it could
(23:58):
be bots.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
It could be pre programmed.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Instead, are trying to knock Taylor Swift off her high
Horse or maybe help out the Donald Trump campaign in
some way. You know, there are bots out there that
talk about conservative politics too, So either way, it's an
interesting dichotomy though, because even the celebrities can't get away
from leading with political identity. We're still waiting on that
Taylor Swift endorsement. By the way, she hadn't said anything
(24:22):
about it anything. People try to make it seem like
she did something to acknowledge Kamala Harris or whatever. I
just I didn't see that. I didn't see aybody else
talking about it. She hasn't said anything overtly like political
in a while, so it'll be interesting to see if
she does give eventually that Kamala endorsement that you figure
(24:42):
would be coming at some point. If she really cared
about politics, or if she cares about her audience, maybe
she'll refrain this time around.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Who's to say.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
If you want to call in, the phone lines are
now open. Four two five five eight eleven ten four
h two five five eight eleven ten, News Radio eleven
ten kfab. The plagues would be coming through on the
Egyptians right, and the Israelites would have to like put
paint or something. I'm butchering this. I'm not Jewish, but
(25:12):
they had to put like paint to identify something to
protect them from, you know, yeah, the Passover. Yeah something baddie,
right right, something like that. I'm butchering it. I apologize.
It's been a while since I watched the Ruggrets Passover special,
which does a good job outlining it.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
That's the extent of knowledge about Passover that I have. Now.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
The thing that about that that's interesting is you had
to kind of, like you publicly out yourself one way
or another about that, right, And this is another thing
about like fascism that a lot of people dislike. I mean,
there's a lot to dislike about fascism, obviously, but it's
that you have to like outwardly identify yourself as a
certain type of person. Okay, A lot of societies have
(25:54):
done that in the past and it's never ended. Well,
not that this is the same, but you have this
idea of this self outing essentially of your own political
perspective and your own political viewpoints. And I'm just not
sure how healthy that is when you have people in
such a visceral society in my in the neighborhood that
(26:14):
I live in, there's a ton of people with those
little blue dots. I've never once been like like I
don't care about this. I did have somebody send an
email and share some like a couple of photos where
you can see like five or six of them in
a row in a single block, and like, of course,
of course these are people that live similar lifestyles in
(26:36):
similar areas. They probably think very similarly. I just I
think in my own brain, I don't want anybody to
think they know me without actually having to get to
know me. And that's my biggest point of contention with
all of this. And I feel like anybody that's got
a blue dot in like imagine getting invited over to
(26:57):
like a friend's house, like a new coworker. Like you
start a new job and you get invited by a
new coworker to come over, you know, and when you.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
You know, do that.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
You go over to their house and like they have
either a blue dot signing their yard or they have
a pro Vargas or pro Bacon or pro Trump or
whatever a political sign right in front of their yard,
and it's like they definitely live this. Does that affect
the way that you like, enjoy that dinner? Do you
(27:27):
avoid talking politics, do you do you grasp on to
political conversations kind of knowing what their ideologies are going
to be? Does that actually help you in those situations?
Do you feel more like pandering to what the room feels,
even if it's not necessarily what you have convicted in
your stomach.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I don't know, man.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Those are the battles that we have as Americans now
because people are so outwardly obvious with their political backgrounds,
and I'm just not so sure that that's going to
be a healthy thing for America long term. Maybe we
can get past it after this election. You can call
it at four h two, five five eight eleven ten
will take your calls next on news radio eleven ten
KF A B.
I want to get through the first couple of segments
and then we'll we'll take some calls here. But the
phone number, just to put it in your phone at
four oh two five five eight eleven ten. Four oh two,
five five eight eleven ten, and yeah, let's do that.
Let's let's let's have you call in at some point
as we talk about some important things today. Matt Case
is my producer. He's alongside. Hey, Matt, how's it going.
(00:20):
It's going pretty good. How are you good? I got this,
I got this letter. It's an envelope. It's got something
in it.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
M hmm.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I can feel it. The weight is enough to where
there are four stamps. They needed to put four of
these stamps on here to get this scent in the mail.
This was this was mailed to me, and it says
the charming and effervescent emery songer.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Hm.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Effervescent quite quite a word. Let's get an adjective. Should
I open this right now? Yeah, let's just puff this
bad boy open, giving off bubbles? Fizzy? Is that what
that is?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Okay, let me see here or vivacious and enthusiastic. There's
two days yeah, now see, I think that's probably more
of what more of what this person is probably going for.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, what is that? What is that poetry?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
No, it's not poetry, it's it's it's uh, it's just
discussion points about stuff. Oh, I'll have to I'll have
to look through that when I have more time. Not
quite as exciting as I thought. It might have been
like a greeting card or something. Some meetings could have
just been an email. It looks like that letter could
have just been an email. Yeah. I mean, the only
(01:35):
person that would know who sent this is the one
that sent it and probably listening right now. And yeah,
I mean I'll read through it. I'll see what he
has to say.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
What what font was he used? Okay?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, I kind of pushed back on Times New Roman,
So Ariel is good Times New Romans overused.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I like Courier, Courier news. That's my that's my stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
All right. Well, before we think our ratings too badly,
let's go ahead and talk about something important. I got
a couple of things that got drug into politics. First
of all, old Nancy Pelosi still getting asked questions about
stuff I don't know. She said something along the lines
of when she was on TV this week that Trump
(02:21):
is a threat to the United States like the British
were a threat to the Thirteen Colonies. Now again, I
think this is tongue in chee. Could think she's trying
to illustrate that. You know, hey, you wouldn't want the
British invading you tomorrow, would you. I don't know, does
that one hit for you?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Hey, they want to try it.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I guess third times the charm, right, that'd be the
third time for the Brits.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Well, they kind of already had.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Us the first time. If you want to be you
want to be honest about it. We beat him in
a war to basically have our freedom. Then they tried
to take us back. Yeah, they tried that would and
then they were like, okay, yeah, probably these guys don't
like us. This is probably a bad idea, and.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Now we're like buddies.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Yeah, lull him into lull him into friendship, and then
you never see it coming. That's I honestly, I am
always on watch for when the Brits come back yet again.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
They got to break some lobster backs back over here. Yeah, sure, okay,
So Nitcey Pelosi suggested that Donald Trump would skip the
debate tomorrow. She was asked here at the Texas Tribune Festival,
which she was on a panel doing getting an interviewed.
She was asked, what advice would you give President former
(03:33):
President Trump ahead of the matchup on Tuesday, And she said,
you think he's going to show up? She's like, I know,
cowardice when I see it as if she's going to
run like he's he's going to be I don't know.
I remember when Nancy was behind him when he did
the State of the Union in twenty twenty, and she
ripped up the State of the Union, the copy of
the State of the Union address he was giving, and
(03:53):
she just ripped it in half for the cameras. She like,
she's all about performative politics, Like she just loves it
when there's something to like act out. It makes her
feel like she's in her own TV show. I mean,
remember the camera's following her around on January sixth, Like
when that came out, it was like her like panicking
(04:14):
and like all this stuff, like, hey, in turn film this,
it'll be good for the good for the brand. I
feel like Nancy really just wanted to be, you know,
the main character of her own TV sitcom or something,
maybe a drama, and she tried her best to create
one within Congress for many years, and here she is again. Oh,
Donald Trump, he may not show up. I know cowardice
(04:35):
when I see it. What would that do to the
If Donald Trump decides not to show up and take
on Kamala Harris tomorrow? What do you think would happen.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
To the polls? I don't think it would be good.
It wouldn't be good.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Abc'd be feel mad, like, wait a second, you agree
to this, We're gonna sue you. Look, and the Trump
campaign already was like, she's a liar. Nancy Pelosi is
a liar. But that led me to the next thing,
is like, well, you know what everybody's gonna say after
tomorrow night's debate. What's gonna be the one thing everybody's
(05:06):
gonna say? Everybody from left to right to in between.
What's the one thing you're gonna hear everybody say at
least a little bit as part of their discussion about
the debate after it's over, the one the one surefire thing, yep,
one surefire thing. Everyone will say, well, what do you
think is going to happen? Depending on which side the
person is on they're going to declare their candidate the winner,
(05:30):
and and then in in conversely they will say what
about the other candidate? Right, they will say they are
the loser and a another l word, a a liaring man.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I had a text today when I was doing the
Iowa Show.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Somebody was like, Hey, you know what would be interesting
is if they're you know, like they have that stat
cast on ESPN two during a big football and baseball games,
like a stat cast where you can watch the same
game but it's different broadcast, which basically is like going
through a bunch of analytical stats as things are going on.
ABC's got enough channels where why couldn't we have just
(06:10):
like real time like fact checks on the screen as
this happens. And I think it'd be fun after like
a commercial break later in the show, that they feed
the moderators a couple of questions to call out lies
that both of the candidates had earlier. Don't you think
that'd be kind of interesting, don't you think?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah? I don't see why you couldn't do it. Would
that change anything?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Though?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I Mean CNN literally has a guy that they hire
to be a quote fact checker, but he really just
fact checks Trump ninety percent of the time. He'll throw
in a few Bidener Harris fact checks every once in
a while when they do a live interview or they
show up on a debate stage, just to make it
seem like they're fair. But the only reason you're paying
attention to Daniel Dale and seeing in in the first
(06:52):
place most of the time is because you're already left leaning.
You want to hear all the lies that Donald Trump said.
You could do the exact same thing in the first debate.
Some of the more right wing websites and news outlets
went out of their way to fact check a bunch
of stuff that Joe Biden had to say all the
way down to his handicap.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
It's just weird that he's still the president. Like, we
haven't heard it. We haven't heard it all the time.
I haven't heard much from him, have you. No, he's
just kind of been behind the scenes. He's just been
eating ice cream in Delaware's He's just he's going to
the beach.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
He's going to He's going to whatever beach of Delaware has,
And you know he's sitting there and is a lazy
boy on the on the old beach and joining the
last bit of his relevancy and said much though has
he It's pretty weird. It's pretty weird. Indeed, Yeah, all right. Anyway,
Dance Pelosi says Donald Trump's not showing up. I would
be very surprised if Donald Trump did not show up
at the last minute to that debate tomorrow night. But
(07:46):
we're going to have a watch party there whether he's
there or not. And of course he's going to be there.
And what Berty Sanders say, Uh, this weekend, he showed
up on that Meet the Press show and he had
something to say about why Kamala Harris has changed some
of her ideas and some of her policies. What did
Bernie have to say? It's pretty interesting, and I'll say
(08:08):
that coming up on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And raised on her.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
They reunited at the US Open Championship over the weekend
in Flushing, madous and now all of a sudden, the
Swifties are saying, Taylor.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
No, don't go hang out with that Trump supporter.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Good talk about that a little bit too. What did
Bernie say. Well, Kristen Welker, who I have a lot
of respect for, works for NBC and she hosts Meet
the Press, and she said she basically called out Kamala's changing,
changing policies. Okay, so this was the question. She has
(08:47):
previously supported medicare for all, now she does not. She's
previously supported a ban on fracking, now she does not. These,
Senator Sanders are ideas that you have campaigned on. Do
you think she's abandoning her progressive ideals?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
End quote?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Okay, Okay, fair question, right, fair question to be asked, Matt.
You are Bernie Sanders. What do you think he says here?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I I read I read some snippets, so you cheat, cheated, cheated, Okay, but.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
What do you think he says? It's kind of funny,
you know, in context, it's like did he really just
say that? Right?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
It's kind of like, hey, thanks for being honest, and
that's the to be honestly, Like Bernie's kind of like that.
He'll just he'll just I mean, did you see his
interview with THEO Vaughn. Yeah, yeah, he is pretty honest
in that too. I mean THEO confronted him and said, hey,
the d n C really did you unfairly twice twice?
And he said, yeah, they sure did.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I mean he you know, well he's technically an independence,
so you know he doesn't know anybody anything.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I guess as far as that's going on.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Hey, no, if you didn't know, what he said is no,
I don't think she's abandoning her ideals.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Oh I can do a Bernie Boyce.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yeah, No, I don't think she's abandoning her ideals. I
do think she's trying to be pragmatic and do what
she thinks is right in order to win the election.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
What do you mean? Of course, this is what's going on.
And we talked about this on this show.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Straight up. Remember what I said.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
This is what I said, ladies and gentlemen, if if
if you, if you're new to the show, dear new,
then welcome to the truth factory over here. What I
said as Kamala changed her mind on several issues over
the last several weeks, including the border, including fracking, and
environmental restrictions on American businesses on several of the major
(10:44):
major issues, Medicare for all. You want to know what
I said, I said, she's doing this to win votes.
She's doing this to win the election. You are if
you are somebody who is deciding whether or not to
support Trump or whether or not you should be supporting Harris.
You're gonna have to weigh in your brain. You're gonna
(11:05):
have to try to weigh in your brain which person
is more likely telling the truth about what they will
do when you go to the polls. I use this analogy.
Nebraska played Colorado and football over the weekend. We could
talk all week long leading up to that Nebraska Colorado
game about what we think might happen, what we think
are the important factors, what we think are the keys
(11:26):
to the game, who the important players are, and then
you know what we should do. Let's take a poll
and everybody out there decide which side is gonna win
this game. You have to write down will who you
think is the better football team, and then we send
that in and then they send back the trophy and
we give it to the team that has the most votes.
In sports, we actually play the game, so we can
(11:48):
talk about it, but it means nothing. It really doesn't
mean much. We can get you prepared for it, We
get you ready for it. It's a lot of fun
to talk about, but they play the game. At the
end of the day, it's just sided on the field.
We elect the people, and then we have to hope
that they do the job that we have elected them
to do. This is a weird situation where we have
evidence of both of these people serving in some capacity
(12:10):
in the job that we're about to hire them. Kamala
Harris is trying to bank on the idea that you
don't attach her to the failing Biden administration. Donald Trump
actually did get to serve three or so good years
of a four year term before COVID nineteen turned everything
upside down.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
We have that evidence. We know what happened.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
However, that doesn't necessarily mean that the stuff that Donald
Trump is saying about abortion and he would veto a
federal ban on abortion, and Kamala Harris and her ban
on fracking, did you think she'd actually do that? You
think she's actually gonna spend money building that wall, You
think any of that's actually gonna happen. Maybe it will,
But you have to decide as a voter of all
(12:50):
of the stuff that you're being told. Now, as both
of these candidates rush back into the middle of America
to the moderate voters and try to scoop up some
of those topics and try to bridge those gaps, with
the people that feel disenfranchised by both sides, Which one
of these people can you trust more? And that's why
the whole liar thing that we've talked about before. That
makes a difference. Which of these two sides do you
(13:13):
think is more likely or less likely to be lying
to you? And the unfortunate thing is they cannot prove
it to you until after you voted. They're gonna need
to be in that office, they're gonna probably need to
have a cooperative Congress as well, So you better hope
that those races go the right way regardless of who
you vote for, and they're gonna have to, you know,
do whatever agenda they think is right. And then you
(13:34):
have to keep score at home and say, you know what,
you actually didn't do everything you said you did. However,
they're going to tell you they did everything that they
said they were going to do everything that you wanted
them to do. They did all that. Even if they didn't,
they'll tell you they did. You have to go find
people that can help explain all of the ins and
the outs of the stuff that they're lying about, because
it's not as easy as just going online and like
(13:55):
reading what was passing what wasn't past. There are a
lot of things that they said should have been passed.
For instance, how about that illegal immigration bill that they
say the bipart is in illegal immigration bill. There were
like four Republicans that pushed that, like four of them.
And you know why it didn't pass. It wasn't because
Donald Trump put the phone call into Mike Johnson and said, hey,
(14:16):
kill this before it gets out of there. No, what
ended up happening was there was a ton and I'm
talking ten of billions of dollars in foreign eight in there.
You think the headlines talked about that that much. Of
course they didn't, especially now when Kamala says, I'm going
to back that we need stricter rules at the at
the border. We're gonna pass this bill, We're gonna make
(14:37):
it more secure. Okay, Well, if she does do that,
I'd love you to read the fine print. Does it
actually make us safer? Does it actually change anything that's
happening down there right now? Is there any additional funding
that is going to help make the people of you know,
the border patrol empowered to actually turn people away who
are not American citizens. Those are all things I think
(15:00):
are worth talking about now, if they are, kudos, congratulations, Wow,
I'm glad that we finally were able to come to
an agreement on that. What took us so long? If
it's not, what are we even talking about here. It's
all about trying to trick you, the American voter, into
believing one side or the other. And that's the unfortunate
reality that we live in today. Now with social media,
we got a lot of people saying that both sides
(15:21):
are liars. There are people out there that do fact check.
Problem is a lot of the fact checkers are also
slanted one direction or the other. You can't necessarily believe
that everything that's being fact checked is truly incorrect. Maybe
they're taking some of what was set out of context
from either candidate. Maybe they say context was additional context
was needed and say, well, that technically was a lie.
(15:43):
And then some of the more blatant lives. We'll just
come out right and say all this stuff that is
incorrect about this one lie and completely ignore the other
candidate doing the exact same thing. I don't know, man,
What I do know is that we're going to be
paying attention to that debate tomorrow night, very very closely,
and American people are going to have to deduce ourselves
who won, who lost, who lied who didn't, and if
(16:05):
they both lied, who lied better, which that may end
up coming down to who wins this election. More on
the way phone lines will open up in the next
half hour on news Radio eleven to ten kfab Emrie Sunger.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I mean, it's main character energy what they're doing, especially Taylor,
you know, singing lip syncing to the song that's blaring
over the loudspeakers as loudly as they can, and knowing
there are a ton of cameras on them. I'm not
saying it's disingenuous. I'm just saying, is it cringe? Is
it cringe you to watch them lip syncing?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
This?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Is it cringey to watch Travis Kelcey look more embarrassed
and horrified than he is having fun for half of
that video. There are people speculating that, you know, maybe
he's afraid to touch her in different ways, you know,
like he's not super comfortable with their relationship at this point.
There have been rumors, of course, that there's like some
plot for them to break up at a very specific
point of the year.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I think that's the X file stuff. But what's what's
say you, Matt, Let's say to farm this out to you. Yeah,
let's see, Uh what is this?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Was it cringe? I don't know. Let me see if
I can find an opinion for.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
It, right, You're not the kind of person that's going
to be like, well, I.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Don't know, like, well, I've never really I mean, you know, I,
like everyone else check out at a grocery store and
see the tabloids and just think to myself, like gosh,
who sits around and thinks about this stuff? You know,
I don't know, like it's for me. It's just like, well,
she was kind of just acting like every other normal
person does. And it incidentally, there's always a camera on her.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah. Is that the kind of thing that you know,
like you're at a you're you're at a football game
or a basketball game or in this case, a tennis match,
and they start playing a song you really like over
the loudspeaker, You're going to be, you know, doing the
full on air guitar lip syncing. I mean, I'm not
even famous, and I don't, like, I don't even want
that attention.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
I don't know like if it was just me and
I was anonymous and just hanging out having fun with friends, Like, yeah,
that's a possibility. I used to drive around and my friends,
what was it. It was a green Dodge Shadow. He
used to drive around the back roads of York and
belt that song and sing along. And let me tell you,
that's not the same things.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I'm just telling you, Yeah, that's not the same thing
as what we're talking about here.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
It's not the same thing. They know there are cameras
all over them, but I don't know what that's like though.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Can you imagine living your life and there's just always
a camera on you when you're out in public. No,
I mean that would be exhausting. I feel like it
would be torturing. And you know what, she's doing well
with it, and partially because she definitely, as you've said,
you know, main character energy. She definitely has that, like
no doubt. I think that they both enjoy it to
a certain extent. But he definitely has the attention. I
(18:52):
don't know if he loves this kind of attention. Yeah, anyway,
he's wearing suspenders in a bucket has so you know,
whatever he has in his life that's going wrong he deserves.
With a mustache he had, he kind of looked like
a lampshade, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I don't know what the heck he's going for there,
but that's a mess.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I wanted to mention there's somebody else in the right
side of that video, and it's Brittany Mahomes because Patrick
Mahomes a Brittany Mahomes were there and there was like
this idea of falling out between Taylor and Brittany. They
became such great, you know, cohorts at these Chiefs games,
cheering on their guys, their men, right, and we all
(19:31):
knew Brittany would not be famous if it won for Patrick.
And she's also generally kind of a nightmares person as
far as social media goes. Right, there was one time
they won a game to win like the division or something,
and they were in their big box and she popped
a bottle of champagne just sprayed it on everybody in
front of her, like in the stands, and everybody's like.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Why is this woman like this? Why is she like that?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, she tries to be main character energy, but really
she's just super annoying. However, she did come out and
on social media people, you know, the super sluice out
there that fall these celebrities around, found out that she
had liked a bunch of Donald Trump, like positive Donald
Trump stuff on social media, you know, because that stuff
lives somewhere. So then they started going after Brittany and say, hey,
(20:15):
you're a terrible person because you like Donald Trump, you know,
all these swifties and whatever. And Brittany basically said, hey,
we're allowed to disagree on things, so whatever, you know.
And I don't like Brittany, but she has a point.
She has a point, and you should be allowed to
disagree and still have friendships. Right There used to be
a time in America where you didn't lead your new
(20:36):
friendships with your political ideologies.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
You know. Yeah, don't you miss those days. I've definitely
missed those days too.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
There was probably a time where I could do this
show and I don't have to talk about politics all
the time. But it's what everybody cares about right now,
and I take that responsibility wholeheartedly. Do you think I'm
going to walk around and have one of those blue
dots outside my house? Though everybody liked, the cool kid
thing around town is to have a blue dot outside
your house for you're voting Democrat. You can walk drive
(21:04):
through Midtown and Zarbon like there's a ton of them.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Obviously the Trump people have their red hats and their
own signs, the MAGA stuff. Right, I'm not gonna have
that stuff either. You'll never know. I mean, if you
listen to the show, you'll know. But like if you'll
never know if you're like meeting me for the first
time and you see me on a Husher game, or
you just want to say hey or something, you know,
the last thing I'm gonna be talking to you about
is generally gonna be politics, unless really like a political event.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
It's just not something that I'm leading with.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Right. There used to be a time where you could
be of something politically and not worry about it costing
you relationships with friendships, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
this is not that time in the history of mankind.
So I noticed on Thursday in the Taylor swift box
there was an absence. It was a first game of
the season. They got their rings. You'd think this is
(21:53):
a big deal for the Chiefs fans. Brittany was in
a different place watching the game, away from Taylor Swift.
I was the only one that noticed this. This was
all over social media. Taylor Swift now she's gonna pull
herself away from Brittany Mahomes because she doesn't want to
be known as somebody who acknowledges a Trump supporter. Well
guess what there, Mattie Boy, her and Brittany were hanging out,
(22:13):
high fiveing, hugging each other, and people got it all
on camera. And now the Swifties are coming after Taylor
now saying Taylor, no, you.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Can't talk to an actual Trump supporter. She's a bad versus.
She's come, stay away from her. What do you think
about that? Do you think about that there, buddy boy?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Me?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Uh yeah, the people are like that. Huh.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
You know, people online are nuts, man, But is that
You open up Twitter and it's just like what is happening?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
And then you close Twitter and you're like, oh, yeah,
that's just online.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Yeah, And you're right, mostly normal out in public, out
in the real world. I go to the gas station
and I see normal people everywhere. Then you get online
you think we're all nuts. But it's just online, man. Yeah,
I mean you make a good point. I'm seeing it.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I don't hang out with anybody who actually like is
a big Tailor Swift fan. So I guess I'm maybe
not in the loop. Maybe most of them don't actually care,
but online they care.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
And a lot of it, a lot of it could
be bots, you know, there is so much bot traffic online.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Elon has killed X I can't. It's hard.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I love the app because of what I've been able
to do on it, and it's easy to like organize stuff,
and it's gotten harder and harder to be on it.
It really has, it really has. And I'm gonna have
the guy who always you know, wants to call in
and be like, Elon save Twitter. It's like, ah, man,
I'd rather Twitter have just exploded and gone away then.
(23:37):
I mean, it is boded to death. There are hundreds
of bots on these popular posts. You can't even get
to real people commenting on it because of all of
the bots that are premium accounts that just are pre
programmed to just jump on anything that's trending in post ads.
Basically sucks anyway, congrats Elon, but you're right, it could
(23:58):
be bots.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
It could be pre programmed.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Instead, are trying to knock Taylor Swift off her high
Horse or maybe help out the Donald Trump campaign in
some way. You know, there are bots out there that
talk about conservative politics too, So either way, it's an
interesting dichotomy though, because even the celebrities can't get away
from leading with political identity. We're still waiting on that
Taylor Swift endorsement. By the way, she hadn't said anything
(24:22):
about it anything. People try to make it seem like
she did something to acknowledge Kamala Harris or whatever. I
just I didn't see that. I didn't see aybody else
talking about it. She hasn't said anything overtly like political
in a while, so it'll be interesting to see if
she does give eventually that Kamala endorsement that you figure
(24:42):
would be coming at some point. If she really cared
about politics, or if she cares about her audience, maybe
she'll refrain this time around.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Who's to say.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
If you want to call in, the phone lines are
now open. Four two five five eight eleven ten four
h two five five eight eleven ten, News Radio eleven
ten kfab. The plagues would be coming through on the
Egyptians right, and the Israelites would have to like put
paint or something. I'm butchering this. I'm not Jewish, but
(25:12):
they had to put like paint to identify something to
protect them from, you know, yeah, the Passover. Yeah something baddie,
right right, something like that. I'm butchering it. I apologize.
It's been a while since I watched the Ruggrets Passover special,
which does a good job outlining it.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
That's the extent of knowledge about Passover that I have. Now.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
The thing that about that that's interesting is you had
to kind of, like you publicly out yourself one way
or another about that, right, And this is another thing
about like fascism that a lot of people dislike. I mean,
there's a lot to dislike about fascism, obviously, but it's
that you have to like outwardly identify yourself as a
certain type of person. Okay, A lot of societies have
(25:54):
done that in the past and it's never ended. Well,
not that this is the same, but you have this
idea of this self outing essentially of your own political
perspective and your own political viewpoints. And I'm just not
sure how healthy that is when you have people in
such a visceral society in my in the neighborhood that
(26:14):
I live in, there's a ton of people with those
little blue dots. I've never once been like like I
don't care about this. I did have somebody send an
email and share some like a couple of photos where
you can see like five or six of them in
a row in a single block, and like, of course,
of course these are people that live similar lifestyles in
(26:36):
similar areas. They probably think very similarly. I just I
think in my own brain, I don't want anybody to
think they know me without actually having to get to
know me. And that's my biggest point of contention with
all of this. And I feel like anybody that's got
a blue dot in like imagine getting invited over to
(26:57):
like a friend's house, like a new coworker. Like you
start a new job and you get invited by a
new coworker to come over, you know, and when you.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
You know, do that.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
You go over to their house and like they have
either a blue dot signing their yard or they have
a pro Vargas or pro Bacon or pro Trump or
whatever a political sign right in front of their yard,
and it's like they definitely live this. Does that affect
the way that you like, enjoy that dinner? Do you
(27:27):
avoid talking politics, do you do you grasp on to
political conversations kind of knowing what their ideologies are going
to be? Does that actually help you in those situations?
Do you feel more like pandering to what the room feels,
even if it's not necessarily what you have convicted in
your stomach.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I don't know, man.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Those are the battles that we have as Americans now
because people are so outwardly obvious with their political backgrounds,
and I'm just not so sure that that's going to
be a healthy thing for America long term. Maybe we
can get past it after this election. You can call
it at four h two, five five eight eleven ten
will take your calls next on news radio eleven ten
