Open Phone Line Friday: Biden Debate Gets Intense

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
It's gonna be pretty hot today,just high in ninety one, so we'll
see if we get there. Butthis weekend it ramps up Saturday, and
throughout this week, Saturday has gottenhotter and hotter every forecast. Right now,
they're saying high of ninety eight withheat index values as high as one
hundred and eight. I don't havethe heat index values for Sunday, but

(00:24):
I can only imagine it'll top Saturday. So you're probably looking at the one
hundred teens for Sunday, sunny andhot with a high of one hundred and
one. Yeah, so I haveto uh, I have to tell you
I like the heat, but thisis the kind of heat where I'm not
sure about. It's the kind ofheat that I'm I'm not sure I'm going

(00:47):
to really like just cave inside andnever come outside. Maybe I don't know.
Yeah, well, it's gonna behot, so stay hydrated. The
that I my friends in Iowa,Iowa Speedway has those double header, that
double header of the Indy Car,which is pretty fun, pretty crazy.
It's not going to be as hotthere as it's going to be here,

(01:08):
I don't think, but it's goingto be pretty pretty warm. So if
anybody's going to be outside doing somethinglike that for a lot of hours,
I mean, probably drink the waternow, right, Isn't that how that's
supposed to work. You want tohydrate for like tomorrow or even the two
days ahead of time by drinking alot. Now you end up watching the
Joe Biden presser. I did not. Why would you? I mean,

(01:32):
if you don't have to, whywould you? Yeah, well, I
did you know when they started whenyou have to gast? Oh, six
seventeen six twenty eight, six twentyeight. Okay, so they pushed it
back and still we're twenty eight minuteslate. They push you back twice.
He didn't start until twenty eight after. You'd love to be a fly on
the wall to see why things getpushed back like that. I just want

(01:53):
to, like, what do youthink about this? I told I talked
about how embarrassing it felt for meto be hyping it for a certain time,
talking about how we were planning toplay it towards the end of our
program, and then for it notto happen, And it didn't happen for
another hour after we were apparently told, and then it wasn't until right as
it was supposed to start, theypushed it back to the top of the

(02:15):
hour, but then even then itwas still in almost another half hour later.
Before he even got on stage,nobody came out with him. He
was all by himself, and hedid almost oh I would say probably eight
ish eight eight to ten minutes maybeof statement about NATO, mostly before he
took questions. Okay, so hehad about an eight minute statement that fits

(02:37):
in our window, right, Ithink exactly where my over under was.
I thought, yeah, eight minutes, yeah, yeah, all right,
all right? You know what thefirst question was, what is Kamala Harris
a qualified person to run the country? Huh? Not a single person asked
about the doctor really, but youknow how they did the questions. He
came up and already had a listof people to call on. Oh so

(02:58):
he just ran down the list multipletimes where he lost to where he was
on the list, and he hadto sit there and stare at it figure
out where he was, and thenhe called on people in the order they
were supposed to be called on.Yeah, so were those questions vetted ahead
of time? I don't know,you know, like we were talking about
like the idea like how they couldcontrol the situation and how they could make

(03:19):
sure they knew who was asking whatwas there was a chance that that's how
that worked. What question are yougoing to ask? And we'll put you
in order? Now. There werea couple of good questions. Most of
the time he did the politician trickof just kind of readjusting what they asked
into something else. He had acouple of like five to ten minute answers.
I wasn't keeping track with the Stopwatchabout like foreign policy stuff because NATO.

(03:43):
A couple of the questions were justabout NATO, and I just was
like, what are we talking abouthere. We also had deb Fisher on
the Senator from Nebraska on earlier thisweek, and she said pretty much point
blank, all these world leaders andfor NATO, and not a single one
of them generally about how we doour elections. They're not pulling for anybody.
They're nice, they're cordial, they'relike that with everybody. They really

(04:06):
just want us to figure our ownstuff out like they figure their stuff out
in their country. I believe thathow often do you and I debate about
Bulgarian politics? Don't think we haveyet? Okay, And that's kind of
the point, right, How oftenin Bulgaria do they really give a rip
about what we got going on.I know, we want to be all
high and mighty and think that,yeah, they care about exactly who the

(04:29):
president is, but I just don'tbelieve that to be the case. You
know, we see like conservative candidateswinning in Britain or ultra radical candidates winning
in France or Italy or something likethat. You read about that in BBC
News or Reuter's or something, andyou're just like, how does that affect
anything? It ends up not affectingmuch of anything at all. The only

(04:51):
thing that I can think of is, you know, the most frictiony thing
that people are talking about within someof these countries is how much much they're
supporting Israel and how much they thinkIsrael is committing war crimes for what they
are doing in Gaza. Like that'sthe one thing it feels like there's dissension
on within this group of countries.Everything else, it just doesn't seem to

(05:14):
matter what political affiliation a lot ofthese people have. Yet. I watched
Biden last night basically talking all abouthow much they want him to be the
president, Like they are just likethey're thinking me for what I've done for
NATO, and I still can't figureout what he's done for NATO except just
say NATO's important. And he's like, this is like the best conference that

(05:34):
we've ever had. I'm just like, how would you even know that?
Like, NATO has conferences I thinkpretty regularly, and what he's been a
part of like the two or threeof them. Yet it's the best that
they've ever had. I hate thathyperbole. It's so stupid. But that's
where we are now, Okay.Within that first question, he referred to
Kamala Harris's vice President Trump. Sohe did the exact same thing he did

(05:58):
with Putin and Zelensky an hour beforethat, accidentally calling a person by the
absolute possible worst name you could thinkof. But yeah, I just got
I got kind of bored and frustrated. I was just like some of the
questions were I think legitimate asking aboutyou know, if you feel this way
right now and you talk about notbeing young anymore, how can you tell

(06:19):
us with confidence that you can bea great leader two three, four years
from now? Fair question? Andwe didn't really get a good answer.
I mean, he basically was justsaying I feel great, I know I
can win in November kind of thing, and nobody, you know, like
they mute that microphone. Like somepeople got a chance to ask a follow
up or something else, but itjust it just felt kind of contrived,

(06:43):
way too controlled of an environment whichis predictable. And I just couldn't believe
that nobody asked about the Parkinson's doctor, Kevin Cannard. But maybe that was
part of the deal, was you'reonly getting questions like they I'm guessing that
his people vetted the questions ahead oftime. There was a guy that I
think was from Poland that was calledon. He was like the fourth or

(07:04):
fifth question, and he said somethinglike this in part of my Polish,
but he's like people in Poland veryconcerned that Donald Trump would become president once
again and all the like. Hespoke for like a sixty seconds before he
finally like got to the question,and it was basically just talking about how

(07:24):
can you like confidently say you'll bethe president in November because people in Poland
are scared that Trump will be presidentagain. I'm trying to figure out who
in Poland gives a crap what doesPoland have to do with anything except there
in NATO? What is uh likethe are we thinking like Adolph is like
on the other side of the borderabout to roll in, Like what are
we talking about here? I hada sitting US senator, granted one from

(07:47):
the opposing political party of Joe Biden, but literally tell me she's meeting with
some of these leaders and saying absolutelynone of them seem to care about how
we do our election, and theyjust want our stuff to be taken care
of by ourselves, just like theyhave their own stuff to worry about.
And I have this seemingly incredibly liberalPolish reporter at the White House for some

(08:09):
reason, or covering Washington, dC. For some reason and basically giving
Biden the old pat on the backabout how much he's loved in Poland and
how Polish people are afraid of DonaldTrump becoming the president again. Well,
his question got on the list.We know that much. Of course it
did. Of course it did becausehe said I'm gonna give Biden old you

(08:31):
know, ah, another thing Iprobably shouldn't say, but you know what
I'm saying. I thought you werejust picking an ice cream cone from the
drop down machine there. Yeah,just grabbing that, like four or five
of them, just one very happyendings over here. No, just one
just saying he's like so unnecessary,Like what kind of journalist does that?

(08:52):
I got more thoughts on this.If you got thoughts on it, you
got thoughts on anything else. It'san open Phoneline Friday. You can call
in at any point four two,five, I eight eleven ten, news
Radio eleven ten kfy b Emory's songeron news radio eleven ten kfab Merle,
Welcome to the show. What areyou thinking about? Thanks, Emery.

(09:13):
I just have one thing to sayin respect to everybody listening, yep,
and I want you to hear me. How can you hate something someone so
much more than your country more thanyou love your country? How can you
hate a person more than you loveyour country? Yeah, that's a good
question, Merle. I guess,Merle. And before you go, though,

(09:35):
I guess I'm going to try toput it in perspective as I understand
it. Love for country is.I guess it's subjective. I guess it's
open for interpretation. You can sayyou love where you live. You can
love your city, or your state, or your country. In a variety

(09:56):
of ways. But I think wejust live in an era where people just
kind of take for granted where theylive because of the freedoms that they have
in this country, and no matterwhat other opinions they have, they just
kind of feel like they exist onthis spot and nobody did anything to make
that happen. They just kind ofare like, I, I have every

(10:16):
right in the world because I justlive right here. What they don't know
is that it's not like that anywhereelse in the world, you know what
I mean exactly one of the greatestsights. And I sit there sometimes out
of FNB Jaza and just stare atthe flags. Yeah. I mean,
it's a powerful flag down there.Yeah, it's a powerful thing, man,

(10:39):
And Merle, go ahead. Itis one of the most powerful things
that is bestowed on us, isto be able to sit in a park
and just took the American flock.Yeah, you know, for sure,
Merle. I appreciate your perspective,man, And it's a it's a heavy
question, especially when we have ahard time understanding why people don't feel the
same way that we do. ButI really appreciate at you calling in and

(11:01):
talking to us today. Yes,it is pective. Thank you, thanks
man, appreciate it. Yeah,so I don't again, I don't want
to make people who disagree with meseem like bad people because I inherently don't
feel that way. I think thatwe live in a very free country with
the idea that we can all haveour own opinions about anything, and it

(11:22):
isn't necessarily always life or death likeit used to have to be. People
are going to see the world thesame way we do. That's why urban
voters and rule voters generally don't align. I say generally because there are obviously
exceptions to the rule. But mostpeople that live in urban areas around the
country are mostly voting Democratic these days, and most people in rural America are

(11:43):
voting Republican these days. And Ijust feel like there are reasons for both
people, both types of people tofeel like those parties more accurately represent the
values that they have and what theywant out of our government. I don't
think that's a wrong thing. Itdoes, though, create kind of a
barrier between the two sides, whereurban people and rural people, who already

(12:09):
probably don't understand much about each other'slives. There's an additional disconnect on why
each side feels the way they doabout these political figures and political issues in
general. And I think it's fairfor us to ask those questions. But
I also think it's going to bedifficult for us to understand because it's really
hard to be both. You know, you can't really be an urban person
and rural person at the same time. You can't be a Democrat and a

(12:31):
Republican at the same time. Youmight be independent, but I feel like
most independent people aren't that fanatical aboutpolitics on a day to day basis,
Otherwise they'd have stronger opinions. Jennie'son our phone line at four two five
five eight eleven ten. Hello,Jeanie, what's up. Well, you
were talking about Poland being afraid ofDonald Trump getting reelected and why would they

(12:52):
care? But if you well,if I remember right, didn't Donald Trump
make these other countries pay their fairshare into NATO in the UN and all
that that was a big deal forhim? Yeah? Yeah, and Biden
is footing the bill again. Well, we are footing the bill again,
so that's probably the reason that Polanddoesn't want him in there. Yeah,

(13:15):
I just I don't know how manypeople in Poland care, like maybe their
government cares. So I just don'tknow how many Polish people who are you
know, living their daily lives.They're working in the coal mines or whatever
they do in Poland, and theygo home, like, how often are
they thinking, Oh, man,I hope the American president is Joe Biden
not Donald Trump. You know,like, well, why do we know
that this guy was even Polish?Well he definitely sounded Polish for whatever it's

(13:39):
worth, you know, But you'reright, I mean, we we it's
it's not wrong to ask those questions, Genie. You just never know these
days. Appreciate the call, Geenie, thank you so much. Have a
good day you too. I gotmore thoughts on what we saw last night,
if you want to share them.I don't want to spend the whole
show on this. Obviously, it'sa Friday. I want to have a
lot more fun. But if youhave thoughts on it, it's an open
phone line Friday. Anything you wantto talk about, I'll take your calls.

(14:01):
That's, you know, kind ofwhat we do here. Four oh
two five five eight eleven ten isthe number. Four oh two five five
eight eleven ten News Radio eleven tenkfab. Hey, Maurice Sung on news
Radio eleven ten kfab. Things relatedto getting out of the race. The
most notable things that were being saidby Joe Biden when he answered real live

(14:22):
questions for the first time outside ofa debate for the first time in eight
months. It was all foreign policyand NATO related and I guess you could
technically expect that, but it justfeels like that would have been a different
a different time. Right. Youhad this guy right there Tabe asking about
his health and very generic questions thathe was able to deflect and move on.

(14:43):
Uh, but we're talking about anypart of this that you want With
open phone line Friday, you cancall in now four oh two five five
eight eleven ten. Four oh twofive five eight eleven ten. Inga is
on the phone line, INGA,thank you for calling. What are you
thinking about? Hi, Emri,thank you for taking my call, letting
me respond to a lap collar andthe point that she brought up about why

(15:05):
Poland doesn't want Trump in the WhiteHouse. So, my mother's a green
cardholder from Germany, so I havefirst generation cousins and we had this conversation
or I had this conversation with mycousin who's in late fifties to sixties last
summer, and he was urging meto vote for Biden because he said Europe

(15:31):
fears that if Trump gets in theWhite House, he will revert back to
the policies he's had in the past, not just hey, NATO has to
pay a fair share, but thisis your problem. And I think he
kind of said something to that effect, whether when he was in office before
or since, that Europe, that'syour issue. We've got our own issues.

(15:54):
He kind of does tend to bea little bit more isolational isolationists.
And he said we're afraid that Idon't know why this is, but he
said, we're afraid that China isgoing to invade. I don't know if
he met Russia. China is invadewhere a Taiwan Europe. Maybe maybe that
is what he meant, but Igot the feeling he was like, you

(16:17):
know, they're gonna the NATO borderswill get pushed and they will get invaded,
which does make sense if we don'tsupport Ukraine. That has been the
argument that Russia will just keep going. Okay, So that's that's his perspective,
and I know that other people thathave been in Germany they had been

(16:37):
accosted by people saying, you betternot vote for Trump. You didn't vote
for Trump, did you? Sothey really they really don't. Yeah,
okay, well they don't like him. There are people all over the world
that don't like celebrities and stuff likethat. Right, I just guess I'm
confused. But Putin didn't do whathe did to Ukraine until after Trump was
out of office, Like that wasan intentional decision by him. I like,

(17:03):
sure, you know what I mean, Like I I understand what they're
saying, but the like my pointon that, And we can talk about
even where Germany is on a map, and how far they'd have to go
to invade Germany if that wants totake everything back that includes East Germany,
I would think in their minds becauseit did belong to the Soviet Unions.

(17:26):
So I don't know that they havea different memory of history than we do.
And they perceive Trump. They believethe rhetoric that he's a hitler.
So they're they're crazy though, andlike you know what I mean, like,
like what evidence do they have besidesthe media telling them that that that
he is that right. They arevery conformist and in their media, you

(17:49):
know, if somebody says it's true, then it's true if it comes from
like if you think about the vaccines, they were so much about like everybody
must conform. Ever, if youdon't conform, we're going to push you
out of society. They are justthey are very conformists, and they're very
much like that, and so theywill beat to the drum, they will

(18:10):
march to the drum of whatever theiryou know, you know, whatever the
media says, Well, it's thatexplains an awful lot of what was happening
in the nineteen thirties, doesn't itinga yes, it does, it doesn't.
It didn't really change. But that'sthat's okay, different type, right,
I know, I know as abad example. No, No,
this is good. Ingo, I'mgot No. I'm glad that you're talking

(18:30):
to me about this because I don'thave that kind of close close range perspective.
I guess my biggest conversation piece tothem. And obviously they're your family.
So I'm not expecting you guys tobe sitting around a you know,
campfire talking politics. That'd be thatdrive me nuts too, But I just
like the idea of Russia not doinganything aggressive at all while Trump was in

(18:52):
office, and then as soon asBiden took office, they mobilized, got
next to the Ukrainian border and thenwent in in and have been there for
two years now. Like, Idon't know, And if Ukraine is fighting
them like this for two years andthey don't really have like control of Ukraine
to this point, you think themgoing into a NATO country is going to

(19:15):
end well for them, even ifthe United States isn't like super super duper
active in that. Like, Ijust feel like that Donald Trump is like
one very small piece of the piethat would have to like fall into line
to allow that to happen, youknow what I mean? Well, he
said I'd be curious to know.He said the war will stop when I
get into office. So I'm justreally curious about how he plans on getting

(19:38):
that war to that would which warI would want? Yeah? In which
war? Honestly? Inga that he'dstop first, the Israel thing or Ukraine
in Russia? Right, which onedoes he prioritize? A good question?
I don't know. I really don'tknow. That's that's a really good one.
I would I would think he hassomething at least to start with with
the Israeli war, because he didthe Abraham Accords, so it seems like

(20:02):
he would go back to them andsay, let's put that back together again
and let's get back going on that. That's what I would think you would
too. This is good. Hey, No, if there's anything foreign like
European and we need a perspective onpeople, can you please call in with
how your family's feeling about it,because that helps us understand why they might
feel that way. You know whatI mean, I will do that.
I will definitely do that. Thanksto diging MI call. Yeah, absolutely

(20:23):
and really really appreciate it. Landin'son the phone line. Landon, I
appreciate you for calling in. What'sup? Yeah, I just wanted to
kind of touch on the Ukraine thing. I mean, at the end of
the day, I really think weneed to go back to being in isolation
this country. I mean, whenyou're thirty eight trillion dollars in debt,
how much help can you really offerto the rest of the world. Yeah,
but I mean I feel like,you know, we should clean our

(20:44):
own room before we start teaching otherpeople how to clean theirs. Yeah,
here's my thing. I guess isolationismis one thing land in. But I'll
be honest with you, I justthink that the national debt is a political
talking point. It just kind ofdoa because there's just no chance that we're
ever like, we're ever getting outof that. There's no way to make

(21:07):
it come off, you know,as like a political thing or you know,
one party screwing us and the otherparty is not right no more.
That was a team effort that thatnational debt was, for sure. Yeah,
and it's like, you know,us taxpayers, I mean, we're
we're feeling it every time they addto that national debt. You can see
it in the stores, you feelit everywhere you go. It's like,
at what point do we realize,you know, maybe we need to get
our own stuff together before we startworrying about what the rest of the world's

(21:30):
doing. Yeah, I mean,fourteen thousand miles away. No, And
I'm hearing you. I'm hearing it. Why we care? Yeah, I'm
hearing you. Lands And I thinkthere are ultra reasons that the United States
is involved in a lot of thisstuff, and it's just kind of weird
because we are so far away fromwhere most of this stuff ever happens,

(21:51):
So it would be interesting to seea different take on what that would look
like in twenty twenty four versus whenthey did this seventy five years ago.
But at the same time, Ican understand how the United is States still
really much matters to a lot ofthese European countries, not just for the
power we wield, but for therespect that we command. And I think
that still tells us how important weare, even if we think our country
is kind of a mess, howimportant they see us, even with weak

(22:12):
leadership. I mean that has tomean something, even optic wise, optically
you know what I mean. Yeah, I mean realistically, don't understand why
the rest of the world hasn't takena page out of America's book. I
mean, look at how much wespend on defense, how much technology we
put it into defense. You know, our defense budget surpasses anybody in the
world. So we can live alife that we all live. You know,

(22:34):
we get we get to have peacein America. The rest of the
world doesn't get to see that veryoften. It's like, well, maybe
you guys should have put your eggsin a different basket for a while instead
of being the cool hippie countries forever. And I'm a hippie myself. There
we're wrong. Yeah, well youcan be hippie and still be you know,
intelligent Landing And it sounds like you'refinding that balance. Oh yeah.

(22:55):
I mean, you know, yougot to have defense, you got to
have a military. Can't be withoutweapon, and I mean hunting's kind of
hard without a weapon. Yeah.Well, and on top of this,
you know, you got all theseyou know, people that are democrats that
want to weaken our military yet stillbe very involved in NATO and all this
other stuff. It's just like,hey, you know, you can't have
both things. Can't have that cakeand eat it too. You have to
come to some compromise mentally about howyou guys are approaching this. I appreciate

(23:18):
it. Landon, thank you somuch for calling in. Thank you.
All right, we'll be back.We'll take more calls four h two five
five eight eleven ten. If youwant to talk to us about anything,
we'll take you right here on newsradio eleven ten. Kfab Brian's on a
phone line of four h two fivefive eight eleven ten. It's an open
phone line Friday. It's crazy anyway, Okay, Brian, what's on your
mind? Oh, if you wantto hold people in Poland are thinking?
There is polling in Poland, andthere are organizations that whole countries worldwide.

(23:42):
First poll that came up was fromthe Pew Research Organization under an article title
Globally Biden receives higher ratings than Trump. And I ask people in thirty six
different countries between the two, whodo they have confidence in the right thing
regarding world affairs? And in PolandBiden got seventy percent and Trump got twenty

(24:03):
eight percent. Yeah, hey,Brian, Brian, what what do these
people have to do with our electionsystem? And what do they even know
about Donald Trump versus Joe Biden andthe day to day politics of our country?
You know what I mean? Well, you just said, how do
we know what people in Poland arethinking? No, well, I want
to know how do not? Howdo we know what they're thinking? Specifically?

(24:26):
Like why do we care what theythink about American politics? The President
does more here than he does abroadto communicate to us about our foreign policy
with other countries, not Poland's foreignpolicy with us. That's their president's job.
You know what I mean, Well, I don't know why our president

(24:47):
matters to how they're doing it.In fact, I have a quote from
earlier this week, Brian from thepresident of Poland. His name is Andrea's
Duda and andreday Is. He seemsto be a pretty normal looking guy,
and he says, and I quote, we have to be honest and tell
ourselves that the Cold War situation isback, and it has nothing to do

(25:07):
with the actions of the United States. It is because of the revival of
Russian imperial ambitions. That was directlyto Politico at the NATO summit. He
said, it does not matter atall who the president of the United States
is. Putin was going to dothis and has the responsibility for what's happening,
not the president of our United States. So I guess what did Joe

(25:30):
Biden or Donald Trump have anything todo with that? And president? Which
president was under like? Like whichpresident was in power when Putin decided to
invade another country? That's what Iwant to know. That's because they are
friends and Putin as enemies with Biden. So it doesn't make sense, Brian,
It doesn't make sense if you're talkingyou're telling Putin. You're telling me
that Putin is a bad guy andhe wants to be imperial and just run

(25:53):
through all of these European countries,and they're afraid because of his relationship with
Donald Trump. Don't you think himnot invading while Trump's in office makes a
lot more sense. It's like,oh, well, we might as well
have him there because he won't invadeanybody. Isn't that what you're telling me
they're afraid of who are willing togo on forever with the woman had relatives
in Germany? But with me,you can't wait to cut me off.

(26:15):
I think it shows your argument thisweek. And yeah, Bran, No,
here's the thing. I'm not goingto cut you off. If you
want to stay on the line,I'll take your call again when we come
back on the other side. Ifyou have more to say about this,
all right, we do. Justokay, just stay right there. Then,
you know what, I'm a fairperson here. I'm interested in what
Inga has to say because she actuallyhas relatives in Germany. I'm hearing about
poll numbers from Poland from a guyin the United States of America with no

(26:40):
actual connections to Poland. And Ijust literally said a quote from earlier this
week at the NATO summon in Washington, where the Polish President, himself the
most important guy in Poland, says, it doesn't matter who our president is.
I don't even know what we're talkingabout anymore. Keep calling in four
h two, five, five,eight, eleven ten. We can do
this all day on news Ready eleventen, kfab Brian is right. I

(27:00):
jumped in. I jumped over someof the stuff that he was saying.
I didn't want to forget the pointI wanted to make that was on the
tip of my tongue, and forthat I apologize. So Brian is still
here. Brian, I'm going togive you as much uninterrupted time as you
need to get your point across forme here, so fire away. Oh.
I looked up what the Polish presidenthad to say, and what he

(27:22):
said was first, blame the ColdWar situation on the United States because of
Russia's imperial ambitions. So he blamedit on Russia. And then it wasn't
that he didn't care who was thepresident of the United States, said quote.
As president of Poland, I cananswer only in the following way.

(27:42):
They're going to accept and welcome anychoice that he's going to be made by
the American cheap people. So whathe was saying is, you know,
whether you vote for Abraham Lincoln orAdolf Hitler, we're going to have to
try to get along. Okay,Seriously, they are concerned that Russia is

(28:03):
going to come rolling across the borderand take country after country Montenegro, Estonia,
lat Via, Lithuania. I putin one's piece, you know,
a little piece of Poland, alittle piece of France, a little piece
of Echoslovakia. Perchance now from springtimefor Hitler and all that. But now

(28:25):
we can't have a back and forthconversation. You know, I didn't have
some manifesto to deliver. But yeah, Europe and NATO are threatened. They
know that Trump's policy is iso relationism, to withdraw everyone and everything from everywhere,
and that he wants to be allieswith the dictators of the world because
well of a belief that world isrun by brute force, hard cash other

(28:51):
than by consent of the government.And when you ally yourself with the criminals,
that's what a criminal will do becausethey want to get away with criminal
thanks insults to ally with the lawfuland accountable democracies. Okay, so I
just I would like to know,Brian, what evidence do we have of
any of that being true. Thisman was literally the president for four years.

(29:12):
He met with the so called dictators. They didn't always go well.
I don't know if you remember thosewhere he said, he's not giving me
what I want and we're just goingto ignore him and we're not going to
respect him, or we're not goingto do this. Did it with with
un talked to? Putin ended upflying out a day early because he didn't
wasn't appreciative of the way that themeeting was going. Talked to Ji.

(29:36):
I just have to wonder, Okay, why did Putin not do any of
this stuff you're saying that he woulddo if Trump was in office. While
Trump was in office for the thirdtime, he didn't have to because he
was getting everything you wanted. Whatwas he getting all of our alliances?
Okay, well, what does thathave to do. I contribute more to

(29:57):
Ukraine than the United when they comesin a whole, and most of them
are now contributing to their national defense, even more than what's required for under
the NATO treaty. Yeah, No, they don't want Trump as president because
they see him as someone who betraythat alliance and I with the Russia and

(30:19):
China. There's no absolutely no evidenceof that. Look at the TIFFs he
put on these countries. Brian.We're not going to chaite achieve anything to
get more emails of people telling meI should just hang up on you.
I'm not going to do that.Instead, I'm just going to say thank
you for calling, appreciate your thoughts. It's always fun to have the discourse,
and you have a great weekend.Sure fight to anybody who doesn't want

(30:44):
me to talk to people like Brian, this is why I do. And
it's not to torture anybody, andit's it's not to it's not to try
to create some sort of foil forme to argue with. I really am
curious as to what people think.Unfortunately, I just don't think there are
a reason some of the things thatBrian comes up with and talks to me
about. I just don't think thatthere are a lot of truths behind them,

(31:12):
or they are unfounded fears that havebeen mongered from the left, whether
it's their politicians who are leading thecharge on that misinformation, or it's the
media itself, which has done quitea turn on Joe Biden. If you
you know, they're like, ohwow, his debate performance was terrible.

(31:32):
We'd look really stupid if we saidhe did. Okay, they didn't.
Okay. I'm just saying, fromwhere I'm sitting, I'm trying to be
as fair as I possibly can.You cannot tell me, based on any
information from the four years that DonaldTrump was already in office, that a
He's going to be a dictator.However that would work as if one guy

(31:55):
can just decide to do that witheveryone else lying down for him, or
how all of these other countries thatwe're talking about had any adverse thought about
him as a leader in whatever,the weakening of NATO by him saying all
of the NATO countries need to paytheir fair share, which aren't they now?
Aren't they doing a better job ofthat? Isn't it noteworthy that the

(32:20):
Polish president if we're so concerned aboutwhat the Polish people think, and we're
going to polls to not polls thepeople like the polls to see what the
temperature is for the climate in Americanpolitics, how many flipping people in Poland
are following American politics day to dayor are they more likely just listening to

(32:42):
what their media is telling them aboutDonald Trump and how crazy of a guy
he is, or following him onsocial media and like, Wow, this
is crazy. Can't believe this isthe American president. Was their life really
that affected by it? I reallydon't think so. And if the whole
point is to prevent Vladimir Putin frominvading other countries, then how can you
with a straight face tell me thatthey're afraid that if Trump gets in,

(33:04):
he's going to take all of EuropeWhen he didn't even think about going into
Ukraine until after he was gone.Remember the first time he was messing around
with Ukraine and Crimea? Who wasthe president? Deed, it was one
Barack Obama. Isn't that strange?Yeah? Putin was getting everything he wanted
from Donald Trump. I said,well, that's why he wasn't invading.
What was he getting? Can wecan somebody tell me? Looy back to

(33:30):
the phones? Four oh two,five, five, eight to eleven ten.
Dan's on the line. Dan,welcome to the show. Thank you
for being a part of our showtoday. Love the show. Just wanted
to say, can you imagine ifthe tables were turned and Trump was the
one with these mental lapses, allof these little things going on, doctor
visiting, four years of a historyof saying things publicly recorded, TV,

(33:52):
radio, whatever. Can you imaginethe left and the Democratic machine that would
be attacking him and his mental abilities, medical records, and they would be
NonStop twenty four to seven, youknow, to try to get him,
you know, out of out ofoffice for the very same things that they've
been covering up. And I justthink, you know, if the tables

(34:14):
are turned, we'd be seeing adifferent you know game. Yeah, no,
And then you're not wrong, You'renot wrong, Dan. But I
think the reason why they're being protectiveis because it's so late in the game
and that he's protecting himself and beingprotected. This was the first time in
eight months he's actually taken questions fromreporters. Now, again, that was

(34:34):
a protection itself, because they alreadyknew who they wanted to ask questions,
and they had it in a list, and nobody asked specifically about the Parkinson's
or neurology doctor. So there's somethingto be said for the preparation that they
had done about the questions. Hewas going to receive. Not that they
vetted the questions, but they knewthose people weren't going to ask anything too
crazy. Donald Trump doesn't protect himself. He doesn't care. He's out there

(34:58):
on social media, and this isone of his faults. Probably. He's
on social media or in front ofcameras all the time and just wants to
talk to people all the time,and he says things that aren't true.
He says things that are false,he says things that may not be one
hundred percent accurate, or he mispronouncessomebody's name or something or whatever. But
there's never been a question as towhether or not he's all there. He's
just saying things right. So it'sa completely different conversation, even though now

(35:22):
they're trying to turn the tables alittle bit and say, well, he
needs to be a checked too,because we think he's got problems. Like
the problems that Trump has is nothinglike the problems that Biden is having right
now, And you're lying to yourselfif you think it is, and you're
right. If it was the opposite, they would be ruthless in trying to
get Donald Trump out of the way, absolutely ruthless. Well, thank you.

(35:45):
And have you been here? Hasit been a year already? I
remember it was a late last summer. I guess, yeah, it's just
over a year. Yeah. Wow, Well, we love the show.
Was glad you came in and justkeep up the good work. A lot
of fun. Thank you, Thanksso much, Dan, I really appreciate
that means a lot. Okay,Tim, Johnny, Charlie, everybody else
on the phone line. We aregoing to take your call when we come

(36:06):
back and open phone line. Fridayrolls on political or not, I do
not care. Just go ahead andcall in four h two five five eight
to eleven ten News Radio eleven tenkfab. Emrie Sunger on news Radio eleven
ten kfab. Let's go ahead andget back to the phones, and we
have Charlie on the line. Charlie, welcome to the show today. What's
on your mind? Yeah? WhatI wanted to ask about is just the

(36:32):
media technique of forward issues. So, for example, when Biden was found
with all these classified documents, theysaid, oh, well he's he's an
old man, he's nice. Ye, he didn't have anything bad, yep,
but he'd been collecting those documents fordecades. Yeah, so now they

(36:54):
stay sety years old and he's stashingthese things that nobody's talking about. Yeah,
so fast these things when he's fifty. So so, Charlie, this
is the thing is they finally figuredit out. They went in there and
they found all these things, andby the time they got in there,
they're like, this man's too feebleto be standing trial for any of this.
And it's kind of like, well, it's kind of like I understands,
but yeah, but like, butthey're not talking about when he was

(37:15):
fifty he was committed to crime.Yeah, But Charlie, like, that's
not even the point, right,because they don't want to prosecute him.
Now. The point is how canhe be too feeble to stand a trial,
yet we're letting him be the leaderof the free world? Like,
okay, So I have a secondone that's a forward thing, and that
is when the Soviet Unions fell,Ukraine was a nuclear power, and Russia

(37:37):
and the United States signed a treatywith Ukraine that if anybody ever invaded Ukraine,
both parties agreed that they would puttroops on the ground to save Ukraine.
And yet when Russia invaded Crime intwenty fourteen, nobody's talking about the
treaty. Now you know it's beenover two years, yep. It seems

(38:00):
like nobody's talking about the treaty wherethe United States said we will put troops
on the ground in Ukraine if anybodyinvades. It's like, okay, why,
I mean, I understand to say, hey, we know we had
this agreement, but we're going toignore it. We're gonna go back,
We're going to renig on our commitments. So it'll Charlie. I guess my

(38:24):
biggest issue would be if that issuch a big deal to the Ukrainians in
that specific way, why hasn't Zelenskimentioned it one time? Well, because
he wants what he can get andthat's a dead end street. Okay,
But but would you would would werather do it this way or would we
rather send our troops to fight theirwar? I guess would be like if

(38:45):
you had one or the other,Well, do we want a country that
stands behind their agreements or do wewant a country that you can't count on
for anything? My man, ifyou go ahead and you read about some
of the treaties that we had evenon our own soil with Native American and
we were breaking those left and right. We have quite the history of breaking
agreements. We do, we do. You got me on that one,

(39:07):
you know what I mean. Hey, I appreciate the call, Charlie as
always. Okay, have a goodday. Let's go ahead and go to
Johnny. Johnny's on the fun linefour O two five five eight eleven ten.
Hello Johnny. What are you thinkingabout? Hey, thanks for taking
my call. What I'm thinking about. Brian is usually right. I've argued
with him before, I actually believeit or not. But he brings the
cold hard facts. Still bring yousurveys, you know, statistics, you

(39:30):
know everything, hard facts, verydry. Yeah, it is, it
is. It's very hard to arguewith him. I don't find that to
be the case. I find youto be much harder to argue with Johnny,
for whatever it's worth. Well,So, yeah, as far as
Trump goes, I feel like he'sa putin puppet. I feel like he's
getting paid. I feel like he'salready gave away classified information. You know,

(39:52):
the information's out there, you cango see it. I think we
exposed some of our our spies andwhatnot. Where he did say he was
going to be a dictator on dayone. On day one, that was
tongue in cheek, taking out ofcontext, But yes he did say that.
You're right, I don't know forsure, because these Patriot Front guys
and these Proud Boys are planning onbeing the new SS for Trump, the

(40:15):
new Nazi Party. So you thinkDonald Trump, you think Donald Trump?
I mean he didn't even like,he barely acknowledged them when he was already
an officer. Were forgetting like thefour years he was already a President's changed
between now and that correct, veryincorrect. People like Nick Faluentz showed up
to Morrow Lago, he invited otherNazis. I don't know all their names.

(40:37):
You can look it up, Okay. So, so Trump is a
Nazi, is what you're saying.I mean, I don't know as close
as you know a fascist dictator,you know, a white Christian nationalist,
I guess which. You know,there's gonna be a lot of white guys
who don't have a problem with that, But the rest of the country,
you know, we're not looking forwardto have enough fascists in charge. So

(40:58):
I think Biden is always to bethe better. My brother, my brother,
I really appreciate your concern. Again, ask what evidence you have that
any of this is going to happen, knowing what we know about Donald Trump's
first four years in in charge ofour country, lays all of it out.
I am also Jeffrey Epstein, JeffreyEpstein. You know what her name

(41:22):
was, Katie Johnson? Katie Johnsonwas her name? So so john Johnny,
Johnny. I only have so muchtime here. You're saying so much.
I'm trying to keep up with thepoints, and I just want to
point by point, if those namesEpstein and Katie, if those are so
important in the conspiracy theory against Trumpbeing this terrible person beyond whatever he's already
been charged with, why hasn't theliberal media just attacked him on that instead

(41:45):
of talking about, well, he'sgoing to be a dictator on day one
because he said it. Did youhear it that one time? I think
that he you know, I thinkthat the media has been purchased. Let's
face it, mass media doesn't reallycatch on as quick social media unfortunately.
I mean, we get all theinformation they already have, like pictures and
photos and videos and the phone recordsand all that stuff. So okay,

(42:06):
So again, so you have thatJohnny, you think that absolutely nobody else
is talking about it except your littlesocial media circle that you are in somehow.
Oh no, no, No,the right, the people, the
MAGA, the extremist Republican MAGA party, they're coming out and admitting that they're
planning on taking over the country andconcentration camps and rounding up illegal immigrants and

(42:30):
just kicking them out. Yep.Possibly Proud Boys talking about you know,
possibly executing people. Yeah, youare seeing this in your circles, Johnny,
You are seeing this where you're lookingfor information, Johnny, the rest
of the world, you know,the sane world, the world that lives
outside of whatever bubble of conspiracy thatthe very far left in people of your

(42:51):
mental makeup, wherever you guys areliving, we're not seeing that because it's
not a mainstream thought. Yes,Proud Boys exist, and I saw them
getting into a fistfight with the otherguys that you say are going to work
with him to become the new ssRight. I'm just telling you right now,
Johnny, I appreciate your concern forour country. Yet when I have
other world leaders that basically say itreally doesn't matter to me which president they

(43:15):
have over there that tells me thatthey know probably a little bit more about
this than we do. And I'mnot trying to say that Donald Trump's some
saint and that there aren't some crazypeople on the very far right that wouldn't
try to do some of this heinousstuff that you're talking about that I don't
agree with, and most Republicans andmost actual people will never agree with that
aren't hiding behind an anonymous avatar onTwitter. But I will say this,

(43:38):
if you think that Donald Trump andthe four years he potentially conservative, he
wins an election all of a suddenturns into some twenty twenty American form of
hitler. I feel like you aregoing into the wrong social media circles and
you probably should meet some real friendsface to face. I'm sorry to be
that blunt about it, but you'rejust not living in the same reality the
rest of us are. Well.I mean, when you guys come out

(44:00):
and say all this stuff, youknow, when you guys come out and
say all this stuff, I haven'tsaid anything. You are putting words in
my mouth thanks to the fact thatyou live in a very small social media
circle that only just fires up allthis stuff that is talking about all these
conspiracy theories because right wingers are bad. I'm done with it. Man.
I appreciate the call. I alwayslike talking to people who have different perspectives

(44:22):
than me. But well, youguys talk about this stuff. How ignorant?
How ignorant? Right? I giveyou. I just talked to this
guy for three and a half minuteson my radio show, and the best
that he could do for me istalking about, Well, you guys talking
about all this stuff. They wantto be the next Ses, They want
to you know, kill all theseyou know, Hispanic immigrants and all this
stuff. Yeah, okay, Sogo and find the three or four crazy

(44:45):
people that you're seeing this from andthen actually go out walk about and talk
to actual people face to face andsee if you hear the same thing.
It's a different world when you're livingwatching thirty second clips that are edited down
of what's that Donald Trump said.I mean, it's just crazy to me
you watch these ads. They're completelyout of context, they aren't the full

(45:07):
quotes, and they have no ideawhat he's even talking about there. They're
just using that against the people likeJohnny who will believe them. That's what's
happening. If you want to callin. I would welcome anybody to call
in with a little bit more thoughtfulnessin the real world, and you can
call in at four h two fivefive eight eleven ten. I'm gonna spend
the next couple of minutes taking awalk, calling myself down and i'll talk

(45:28):
to you next on news radio eleventen. Kfab. I know I like
to have conversations with people, sueme, but yeah, we'll talk to
you about what you have on yourmind, about anything that we've already talked
about, things that you are thinkingabout. And then if you start hearing
me get through these calls, callback in. If you're trying to get
in, let's go ahead and we'regoing to start here. By the way,
the phone number four oh two fivefive eight eleven ten. Neil is

(45:51):
on the line. If we're goingto go to Neil first. Neil,
welcome to the show. What's up? Hey, Emory, My love the
show. You do an awesome job. I want to give you a found
the back for dealing with these fastcup of collars. Thanks man, appreciate
it. Uh. It's it's arough world out there and all the beat
it's tough, and I think yourresponses were great, and those guys,

(46:13):
uh, they weren't very informed.And I just want to raise the question,
like if people forget how many executivequarters that Biden signing up for one
hundred days Sober ninety. Yeah,well, and most of those were just
undoing all the Trump stuff, youknow what I mean. So, I
mean it was just exactly like likethat was the pettiness of him winning and

(46:36):
the Democrats winning. They were justlike, we're gonna let make sure that
Trump has no legacy here. We'rejust going to eliminate his legacy before we
do anything on our own. It'spretty sad. Yeah, And that's I'm
I have a feeling that's kind ofwhat Trump's kind that's doing here. Oh
yeah, if he wins, he'llhe'll give it right back to him,
and that in that way for sure. Yeah. Yeah, I mean that's
probably be good for this country.It might be a good thing for the

(46:58):
country. It's not good for thedisc of course, I tell you that,
because then then when we four yearsafter that, we'll just be having
to hear that again. Right,It's just like a little he did all
this stuff and that's why it sucked. Yeah, whatever, Hey, Neil,
this is good. Thanks for comingin, man. Yeah, I
had Tim's on a full on fouroh two, five, five, eight
to eleven, ten, Tim,welcome to the show. How are you

(47:20):
doing today? Oh? All right, a little warm out here, but
okay, you it's maddening listening tosomebody like Johnny and Brian to where I'm
not even sure how they're listening toyour show, fears. All they listen
to is Rachel Maddow and Joy Read. Yeah, it's that's an interesting case
study, Tim, But you know, I've tried to figure it out because

(47:42):
I'm not I'm a person that Imostly just kind of watch or listen to
stuff that I know, I like, I eat food that I know I
like. I don't surround myself withstuff that gets me angry. But there
are a lot of people out therethat just like to get riled up for
some reason. I don't know why. Well they but they don't not only
don't they seek out a differing opinion, they absolutely refused to listen to one.

(48:07):
And because Trump did a a conferenceor you know, one on one
meeting with Putin and with Kim JohnUn somehow they think that they're buddies.
Yeah, when he was very harshand very firm with both of them.
Yes, it's Biden that gave allthe money back to Iran that ignored the
sanctions on North Korea and Russia.Well, and think think about the yeah,

(48:30):
and think about the tariffs he threwon China. How can you tell
me that you know anything related toChina like Donald Trump is cheering them on
and is going to let them invadeTaiwan. How can you tell me that.
After we saw him, you know, put teriffs so high tariffs,
there were some farmers that were like, well man, take it easy,
you're hurting our business here. Right. He was very harsh with with g

(48:51):
too, And because he elected totalk to them, they see that as
some kind of alliance between them.That's ridiculous. You have to be able
to talk to somebody, to negotiatewith them, and Trump out maneuvered those
guys at every turn, and yetJoy Reid and Rachel Maddow and that all
they see is that he's either undertheir control or allies. Well, you

(49:15):
got to remember that's the same politicalparty that spent two years with resources to
investigate collusion between Russia and the Trumpcampaign to get him elected and found nothing
after two years. So I mean, well, they orchestrated the whole thing
from the start. Yeah, andthat's spent millions of investigating themselves. Yeah.
Just I tell you what it's it'ssomething else, Tim. But at

(49:36):
the same time, this is America. People are going to have thoughts all
on the spectrum. We can havethis discussion, and you and I are
going to fall probably close to thesame spot on the political spectrum. I
firmly welcome people on the opposite sideto call in and to listen, even
if they disagree with the stuff thatwe're saying, Even if what they call
in with is a lot of misinformation, They're going to accuse a lot of

(49:57):
people on the other side of thesame thing, and they'd be right.
There are a lot of people thathave misinformation on the right too. So
it's just a matter of having strongdiscourse and having the ability to talk to
people, and that's what I wantmy show to be. At the same
time, I can only take somuch of just blatant misinformation about stuff that
is either completely false or never actuallyhappened or will never happen in the future.

(50:19):
For me. Before I'm with youthere, I mean, we crossed
a couple of lines on those acouple on those calls earlier today. So
anyway, I appreciate it, Tim, thanks for the call, man,
Thank you. Uh yeah, Idon't know. I'm a talk show host,
right, talking is part of thegig. I'm okay talking to people
that have a different perspective than Ido. I don't want to just shut

(50:40):
people down because they disagree with me. At the same time, man,
just the what it could have shutus or if fans or butts about stuff
that's going to happen in the futurethat we have no evidence is accurate.
Phil's on the phone line four,two, five, five, eight,
eleven to ten. Phil, goahead and shoot a right, good man.

(51:00):
What's up? You know? JesseKelly called called this on Monday about
this project twenty twenty five stuff.Okay, he said, here comes the
deluge of twenty twenty five stuff,right, project twenty twenty five. Now,
if you actually look at this,nope, my daughters are fighting.

(51:20):
Anyway. If you actually look,if you actually look at the preference to
that project twenty twenty five, youwill see that the date on that that
it's been around for a year anda half memory. Yeah. And also
Donald Trump disabout it on his Twitteraccount. Okay, he did for whatever
reason. It doesn't really matter.But if you read the preface, it

(51:45):
talks about how the Trump administration basicallyspent three years I'll be able to do
anything because they didn't know how tonavigate the bureaucracy to get anything done.
Okay. That's part of what Projecttwenty twenty five is. It's how to
preparing people to handle the bureaucracy.They've got a conservative LinkedIn site where they're

(52:09):
trying to find people that will manthe second Trump administration to actually get things
done. Okay, these people,these people I've worked with one that brought
up yesterday. I knew he wasgoing to bring it up too, because
I haven't seen him for a week. I saw him the first time I

(52:30):
saw him this week was yesterday,twenty twenty five. Will could you be
Christian? Okay? I said,dude, I said, where do you
think our laws come from? Theycome from the British, from the common
law over in Britain, and thatcame came from it came from the from

(52:52):
the scripture. Okay, but youcan't tell these people anything, no,
And this is the Yeah, ifit wasn't Project twenty twenty five fil they'd
find something else. They just wantto keep attacking the right, knowing that
their guy is under attack and theyhave their own crisis right now, and
this is their diversion. This isthe only thing they can find right now,
is a divergent. See, here'swhat people need to understand, and

(53:15):
this is this is this is JesseKelly spot on with us as well.
And I've known this for a longlong time. We're dealing with people who
their religion is their politics. Iknow this is a religion to these people.
And no matter no matter what typeof logic you use, you you

(53:37):
give them, this is their religion. So therefore, if you don't agree
with their religion, you are guiltyof blasphemy. Sure, and therefore you
you deserve to be to be tobe sentenced to their purgit to their hell.
Okay, we're dealing with people thatare religious, Okay, And that's

(53:59):
what we need to understand. Andhere that's why they're so unhinged. It
makes a lot of sense that way. I just hope that these nutcases,
one of these, or two ofthese, or a number of these nutcases
don't go and buy a bunch ofweapons and start chilling maga people just for
sport. Well, well, thisguy yesterday even talked about how it would

(54:22):
be great. The guy that Iworked with was saying, it would be
great if somebody assassinated President Trump.Yeah, and that's obviously incredibly radical,
and I would bet ninety nine percentof Democrats wouldn't think that way because they're
also anti gun, you know.But you're right, Phil, The religion
analogy is one hundred percent spot on, and it explains a lot of the

(54:43):
behaviors that we're seeing right now.I appreciate the call man, Thanks for
listening, Have a good weekend,You have a fine day, and God
bless you. Yep, you too. We'll get some more phone calls here,
just real quick to follow up onthat. I can understand the fear
of like, hey, they're goingto take up arms and just start killing
people they disagree with. Politically,you got to understand there are people on
the left that feel the same wayif their guy wins and Donald Trump loses,

(55:06):
and they saw what happen on Januarysixth, twenty twenty one, whatever
you guys think happened there, theleft leaning people see it completely differently than
you do. You have to understandthat they live in the same fear space
where they think, well, there'sa good chance that they're going to be
people on the far right, theMAGA people are going to come and they're
going to be violent with us.That's not good. I'm not saying there

(55:27):
are a lot of maga people whowould do that, but just know that
the fear that Phil just said,I hope they don't come and start shooting
and trying to use legitimate violence onus because we feel differently about politics.
Just know that for every one ofus that feels that way, there's somebody
like that on the left as well. Violence is never going to be the
answer. I know a lot ofpeople are saying, hey, we got
to take this country back. That'sjust not the way to do it.
It is twenty twenty four, andwe're all Americans here. We're way more

(55:52):
like than we are different, nomatter how different we seem to be politically.

Steeve, thanks so much for callingin. What are you thinking about.
I'm thinking about the fact that therewere three presidents during my lifetime that should

(56:13):
have resigned, and only one did. The first was Nixon, who went
beyond the pail with Watergate. Andwhat happened is his leaders of his own
party went to him and he agreedto resign, and the right thing happened
there. His vice president became president, and then he lost in the next
election. When Bill Clinton was foundto be having an intern affair with some

(56:34):
twenty year old that would have gottenfired from any corporate job, disgrace himself
in the office the United States.He should have resigned immediately. I remember
Dan Rather saying he's expected to resignwithin hours, but he didn't. He
lied, he diffused, he senthis leaders did not ask him to resign,
said they rallied around him, whichwas really nasty instead of getting him
to resign. But he should haveresigned. Now we have a president who
should resign because mentally he's not capableof handling the job. But instead of

(56:59):
his party defending him, they're nowswitching and wants to do that only because
of the polls. If he wasleading in the polls, they'd probably still
be trying to cover it up.But because of the polls and their fear
of losing. The leaders are nowasking their him or resign, and he
is not going to resign. SoI see in a Democrat case twice now
two presidents who should have resigned,who refused, and one Republican who did

(57:19):
the right thing by resigning. Now, as far as Biden, what he
should do is resign right now,say I'm not capable of doing the job.
Kamala should rise the vice president tomorrowmorning and then she should run for
president, and the leapon chips faullwhat they may if you did the right
thing, I think Steve, honestly, I don't think that that's out of
the question. Still, he's stillvery stubborn. But I think the pressure's
just going to continue to grow hereand it's going to continue to get hotter

(57:44):
under the collar for the Democrats,and I think they'll do whatever it takes
to make sure that the Biden family'staken care of him, whatever way it
takes for them to move out ofthe way. And I think they're going
to only have one choice, andthat's Kamala being the nominee. So we'll
see. I don't know. Idon't think the resigning is going to happen,
though. I think he'll even thoughwe know he's not fit for the
job. I think he's going toride it out, even if he's not

(58:05):
going to run for reelection. He'llwrite it out until the next inauguration in
January, for sure. But you'reright, the Clinton thing is still crazy
to think about, knowing that henot just what he did, but how
he lied to the people in Congressand lied about what was going on.
It's still a wild story to thinkabout. And then here you have an
octogenarian as the president of the UnitedStates, acting like a lot of octogenarians

(58:30):
do when they age. And weusually take the car keys away from people
like this, Yet here we areletting this guy run the entire country.
It's pretty wild. Steve as alwaysappreciate you calling in. Thanks for listening
to us. How much time doI go? Do? I got time
for one more? Katie? Let'sdo Katie real quick. Katie, welcome
to the show. What's up?You know? I read today about the

(58:54):
Washington Post top ed in which theysort of did mia copa concerning their coverage
of Biden and his abilities and thefact that they look the other way,
and they credited the only news thatthey credited, which I find is ironic,
is Fox News for actually reporting onit. But you know, I

(59:17):
find it. I'm so incredibly disappointedin the press that is now starting to
admit that there's a problem, andyou dumb are saying, look, we
were a part of the problem andwe were wrong. You know what,
why would we believe them now?Number one and number two, they're just
as culpable as President Biden's handlers.What people are doing to him is incredibly

(59:45):
disrespectful. For sure. Hey,Katie, I'm running out of time,
but it's great thoughts. Thanks somuch for listening to us. Yeah,
just real quick on that. There'sno doubt that the media is to blame
partially for that, but they aretrying to lead into a specific audience.
Maybe I'm a little bit more leanon that because they're going just for ratings
and not necessarily for information. Thebetter that we figure out that they're running

(01:00:05):
a TV show and not a newsorganization, that's when we're going to really
see them for what they actually are. We're on the way News Radio eleven
