Reaction to Donald Trump and Elon Musk's X spaces last night; Tuesday edition of Deep Thoughts with Kamala Harris

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
August thirteenth through almost midway through the month, the DNC
starting on Monday, and the strategy by both campaigns right
now seems to be in a holding pattern of sorts.
We heard Donald Trump and the press conference that he held
at mar A Lago say that he kind of wanted

(00:20):
to let the air, the steam come out of the engine,
the air out of the balloon for Kamala Harris as
she makes this kind of run through a sugar high
moment from now. And this is going back all the
way to July twenty first, and that is when Joe
Biden announced he would not be running for reelection he
would throw his support behind Kamala Harris. So that's been

(00:41):
one two, three plus weeks. Now today would be day
twenty two at least of Kamala Harris not conducting a
single press conference or sitting down for a single interview,
even with friendly media. Meanwhile, last night, Donald Trump after
a significant delay on x spaces that was akin to

(01:05):
what happened with Ron DeSantis rolling out his campaign in
the primary. You might recall a couple of years ago,
overwhelmed the servers, Elon Musk claimed about some kind of
cyber attack and then they finally got up and running
about forty minutes past the hour if you were tuned
in for that on X about six forty our time,

(01:25):
and went over two hours, just kind of going back
and forth, two guys talking won a billionaire, you know,
very successful in his field, one of the most sharpest
intellects and minds in the history of our country and
the world in Elon Musk, and then other Donald Trump himself,
of course, successful in his own right. I thought it

(01:47):
was fascinating, and Greg Guttfeld made this point to just
hear these two go back and forth. There are experiences
in life and in business very different in terms of
how they reached their levels of success. But I think
you heard two people that were really serious about addressing
the problems of the country.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
One of the things that stood out, and I was
messaging this with Kelly and Dan and Lex and several
others out there, there seem to be a sound issue.
So there are things like when we're talking about Secret
Service security and protocols, I don't know anything about that,
and I'll tell you, I'll defer.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
I'll say, hey, you want to.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Make sure you listen to Dan Bongino on this he
was a secret service agent, he's worked in law enforcement.
He still maintains and has a lot of those contacts
and sources, so he would be an expert opinion. However,
I would throw my hat in the ring against anybody
when it comes to audio, audio editing, audio quality. I
think my skills have been developed over many, many years.

(02:44):
I have taught audio production at the college level, and
I edit every single day. I'm going through that's I
was rolling in here like just moments before the start
of the day's show, having edited a whole bunch of
audio clips for Dan and myself. I think Kelly Old
tests this too. I got a very sharp and keen
ear for the types of audio that are out there,

(03:08):
and I'm very meticulous and finicky about how something sounds,
and I put a lot of time and effort into that.
I say that as a prelude and a preface to
what I was hearing last night, and I don't think
it started off that way. So this is where I
kind of got confused. And I'll get Kelly's feedback on
this too, because again we were talking about in real time,

(03:31):
there appeared to be some kind of sound issue what
I heard, So Donald Trump is actually a year older
than my dad, and my father when his dentures are
not incorrectly, he'll kind of have this whistling sound or
his essays there's a slur that's there, and it's not
because you know, he hasn't had a drink in almost

(03:52):
twenty years now, but it's you really need your teeth
in the proper position to articulate, you know, fricatives and
plosives and all of these things. And it seemed like
something was askew, and I wasn't sure what, but I
know that I noticed it, and I think I noticed
it just about before anybody else on X because then

(04:13):
the Libs came in and they were piling on, you know,
Donald Trump's on some kind of drugs, you know, or
his dentures are slipping, which I don't even know if
he has dentures. I don't know the state of Donald
Trump's dental records, if he has you know, implants or
dentures or anything else's original teeth, I don't know. I

(04:35):
have no idea, but I know what I heard, and
it didn't sound right to me. So there were those
two theories that were out there were all another one
who he's old.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
You know, it's too late for him. He's tired.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
But Kelly, what was the theory that you had that
apparently was backed up by others that were on X
watching this in real time. Because I want to make
sure we addressed this. It's a line of attack and
it's distracting, I think from the over all impact and
message that Donald Trump was trying to get across last
night in this iconic event with Elon Musk. So, Kelly,

(05:07):
what were you noticing?

Speaker 3 (05:09):
I thought he sounded very tired.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
So you did think he sounded I did, But.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
I will tell you Donald Trump probably does not wear dentures.
If anything. Jazzy and I were just talking. He's got implants.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Right, he'd be able to afford the impact stuff.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
And those don't slip no, and the other thing we
were also talking about. I used to do and produce
a lot of live events, as you know, back in
the day, and we used to have to do a
lot of guests via zoom or that. It sounded a
lot like that, like the quality of the audio was

(05:46):
just really not perfection.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
I'm not sure if was Jack Pasobac, it was somebody
along those lines who was very online with X saying
that there may have been a compression issue, that this
has happened before with spaces or X, and that for instance,
when Kama was having one of her first events, and
remember she had Joe Biden on speakerphone, that it was
happening with him as well. I'm not sure, but I

(06:12):
just know that it sounded off to me. And the
reason I bring this up again is to blunt this.
You know, right where it starts. You don't want to
ignore it because I knew, and I was right, the
left would come out and they're attacking him about the
slurring or whatever that was.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
He was making good points. He made many good.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Points, and there's a lot that I'm going to go
to sound from the exchanges last night. It just can
be distracting, and I was just wondering as to the
reason why.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
But that being said, but wait a minute, you're way
sensitive to that.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
But that's kind of why I preface the whole thing
with right where I'm coming from.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
So to me, it wasn't as bad because I'm kind
of used to hearing that from doing all of the
zoom crap we had to do during COVID. But I
I didn't hear slow luring. I heard that there was
an almost like it. I don't know if it was
the compression, because you know, I'm not inn a one.

(07:09):
You are, so you can probably figure it out more.
But to me, it just it wasn't as distracting as
it was to you.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Well, I know that these platforms they're all different and
their compression level. To explain that, what's compression compression is
that so more of a signal can get through less
of a vehicle or an outlet to transmit. Now, the
reason that would make sense. When you overly compress something,

(07:37):
the sound gets distorted. The advantage to that is you
can transmit more to more people. And they needed that
last night because what was a one point three million
constant listeners throughout the whole thing, almost a billion total
listeners at this point overall. So that makes sense to
me from a numbers standpoint. The compression. You want to

(07:58):
avoid it entirely if you can. But it's why, like
when you hear somebody in an interview with me on
this radio program, if they're on a phone that's a
very limited bandwidth, you're not hearing as much trouble. You're
not hearing as much bass. A telephone line just doesn't
have as high a quality of sound, dynamic range of
sound as when somebody joins me, like Ross when he's

(08:19):
on Access and you do have that wide bandwidth and
it sounds like he's right next to me, sounds like
I do right now.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Well, you know the other thing I would equate it
to in this, I know Jazzy does it. I know
you do it. You're a very big streaming guy. You
have all these platforms that you like to watch streaming, and.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
You've complained about the audio on that.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Theme nuts because they compress the audio so badly. When
you go to watch something on Netflix, it is not
the same as when you watch it on television.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
What I had some people too say, well, I didn't
notice it till you pointed it out.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Ryan.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
You know, like, now I notice it.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
You ruined it.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I think I ruined Christmas for everybody. But that's not
the meat of the matter here. That's the mountain out
of the molehill. It's just something that as a technical
guy behind the scenes, I would have liked to have
fine tuned that. But rubber meets the road. This conversation
was big, it was effective. I'm not sure what kind
of impact it'll have on the polls, but the takeaways

(09:21):
kind of what you call, you know, the drop quotes
out of this Elon Musk, this is very important. He's
a guy who a lot of people follow that aren't
necessarily of our political persuasion, but they admire him. They
might listen to him, they might tune into this, whereas
they would not otherwise hear this kind of exchange or

(09:41):
Donald Trump saying things that a lot of us we've
heard before. But I bet there were a lot of
people who were hearing him and are articulating these views
for the very first time. And for Elon to say this,
I thought was important.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
You are the path to prosperity, and I think Kamala
is the opposite. My last opinion, I'm gonna I'm gonna
get attacked like crazy, and you know, I've also experienced
part of it a lowfair myself, and but I'm just
trying to tell people my honest opinion. And I haven't
been active, really active in politics before, and I'm just
trying to point out that my track record historically has

(10:17):
been moderate, if not moderate, slightly left, And so this
is the people out there who are in the moderate
camp to say, I think you should support Donald Trump
for president, and I think it's actually a very important
junction in the road and we're in deep trouble if
if if it goes.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
The other way, well that's thirty nine seconds of what
we would describe as earned media. So Donald Trump didn't
have to pay for it. He did joke at one point,
you got big numbers. Congratulations. Am I gonna make any
money on this? Are you gonna pay me? And Elon
was laughing about that. But this had value for Donald Trump.
For Elon to say something like that in a forum

(10:56):
this big, that drew this much attention, you could see
by the reaction to the left they were absolutely freaking
out talking about this and trying to undermine it. And
that's why I was talking about the audio quality of
their grasping at straw as looking for anything they can
do to undermine this. And then the other kind of
pull quote from all of this is Donald Trump talking
about the Department of Education. Now, this has not always

(11:18):
been in existence in this country. Obviously, it was a
government bureaucracy created by a Democrat president, Jimmy Carter in
nineteen seventy nine, I think it was fully enacted in
nineteen eighty So for all of my lower elementary high
school education, there was a Department of Education, but if
you went to school in the seventies, there wasn't one.

(11:40):
And it federalized education in a way that I don't
think even Jimmy Carter could have foreseen the impact or
the consequences of that. It's become a very politicized agency,
obviously Randy Weingarten and the far left teachers' unions, it's
a political entity, body, etc. For it, much like I

(12:01):
feel about public broadcasting, and I worked in public broadcasting,
but it's a liberal enclave. It's not something that I
think the federal government should be funding when there's a
clearly partisan agenda and apparatus in place that you and
I are paying for as taxpayers. And Donald Trump he

(12:21):
cut to the chase with this analysis and again very cogent.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
But we're ranked at the bottom, almost at the bottom,
thirty eight, thirty nine forty, in other words, horrible. And
yet we spend more per pupil than any other country
in the world. So we spend more, and what I'm
going to do one of the first accidents, this is
where I need an Elon Musk. I need somebody that
has a lot of strength and courage and smarts. I
want to close up Department of Education, move education back

(12:48):
to the States.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
I love that plan. That's a big message. But did
you hear what I was talking about? It kind of
sounds the way I would describe it as Sylvester from
the Warner Brothers cartoons. Sylvester and Tweety are in Suckatash.
And it's not how Donald Trump normally speaks. So that's
why it really stood out to me. It was an outlier,
and it's bothering me. And you might why are ringing

(13:09):
this up? Well, I'm just telling you what I heard.
And then this is something that again is going to
be kind of brought into the public square. But the
message of closing down the Department of Education returning it
to the States, much like was done with the overturn
of Roe v.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Wade.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
The more local a government is, the more it represents
you personally and your family directly. So when Michael Brown
talks about you got to win school board elections, he's right.
You know, even dog catch or you know your board
of supervisors, your local school board, any of these commissioners

(13:44):
that are on the local level. These are the kind
of positions that most impact your everyday life, your property,
just how you live your life. And I don't like
having a federal agency bureaucracy dictating to me what I
can cannot do or how money is spent for education.

(14:05):
When you make it more of a competitive environment, this
is me the capitalist speaking, then a school has to
compete on its own merits. In some states, Donald Trump
pointed this out, they'll do extremely well, like he mentioned
Iowa and Idaho in particular, and then he mentioned Gavin
Newscom as he puts it in California, and that might

(14:27):
completely collapse. And of course Democrats, they're going to be
against the elimination of any government bureaucracies or a cut
in any spending or department. And this is part of
the problem that is driving our economy in the wrong direction.
Donald Trump had a couple of other moments to hear
that I think are worth highlighting. And Elon Musk, I
think very astutely began the conversation with the assassination attempt,

(14:51):
which you might notice it has not even been a
full month Kelly since Butler Pennsylvania. In the events of
that day, and yet how much of the news cycle
has it occupied Let's say, over the last week, the
attempted assassination of a former president. Have you seen it
in the news even on Fox News, not a whole lot.

(15:14):
You've heard it on this program. We were talking about
the Secret Service with Susan Crabtree last week. She's reporting
on this for real clear politics. You'll hear Dan Bongino
talk about it. But these are our corners of the media,
the mainstream media which the average person watches, or the independent, unaffiliated, moderate,
undecided voter. You have to put yourself in whatever realm

(15:37):
they're thinking, and if it's out of sight, it's out
of mind. That's why it was so important in my
view that Elon Musk brought it back into the conversation
because there's a lot of unanswered questions about it, and
Elon was very good, i think, at pointing out a
lot of the questions that we still have. But Donald Trump,
this is a good moment. He was lighthearted about it.
He's found a way to kind of cope with this.

Speaker 7 (16:00):
The the the sort of slide that got you to
turn that, uh, save your life really was the illegal
immigration slide. Maybe maybe we're talking about about that.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
It was it was that side, the illegal immigration saved
my life. You're right, But they had to be at
an exact angle.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
I mean, that's that's a great one.

Speaker 6 (16:26):
You know, the the incredible thing though, when you talk
about the odds, you had to be exactly at that angle.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Again, that was towards the beginning of the conversation, and
the s problem was less at that point. It's possible
that as this went on, the signal got a little
bit less and degraded in quality, et cetera. But the
fact that he says illegal immigration saved my life. They
got to laugh out of Elon Musk and he's right.
I mean, the slide that was displayed caused him to
turn his head. If he doesn't do that, you know,

(16:55):
consequences would have been fatal.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Most likely.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
My favorite part of the entire extra change, and it
went over two hours once again, was when Donald Trump
channeled his inner Wayne's world and you rely, what, just
listen to this. And then I added something to the
end of it.

Speaker 6 (17:14):
I know, putin very well. I got along with him
very well, he respected me, and it's just one of
those things and he would we would talk a lot
about Ukraine. It was the apple of his eye. And
I said, don't do it. You can't do it, Vladimir,
you do it, It's going.

Speaker 5 (17:29):
To be a bad day.

Speaker 6 (17:30):
You cannot do it. And I told him things that
what I do and he said no way, and I
said way, no way, way.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Sure, I just I wanted to believe that that's what happened.
But Vladimir Putin was sitting there playing the part of
Wayne Campbell, no way, and Donald Trump was Garth Algargon way.
And that was just how the conversation ended, and they
had an understanding throughout all all that. So your thoughts

(18:05):
on how you felt the whole thing went five seven,
seven thirty nine, Send those texts, Ryan. The Elon Musk
conversation with Donald Trump streamed on x Live in spaces,
Like I said, about one point three million consistent listeners
throughout that included myself. Kelly, What grade would you give
it in terms of its impact on the campaign, its

(18:25):
effectiveness in driving the message for Donald Trump?

Speaker 3 (18:28):
I thought it was a great thing. Again, you are very.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Very sound quality.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Aside all that, just to.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Give it, I'd give it an a minus.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
I give it an a minus as well, why would
you give it the minus part though.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Because I think it would have been a little bit
more important if they would have been in the same
room instead of like on the phone.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
You know, where we find out Elon was conducting this
Oh gosh, just to the north in Wyoming. Really is
that a friend's house in Wyoming? And it affairs that
Trump was at mar A Lago, So to your point, yeah,
they were not in the same place at the same time.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Maybe that would have helped.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
I still think it was remarkably effective, but it's driving
the left nuts to the point where they're wanting to
shut it down. From Afar as well, we'll get into
more of that when we come back after this.

Speaker 8 (19:24):
Elon Musk is slated to interview Donald Trump tomorrow tonight
on on X. I don't know if the President is
going to feel free to say if he is or not,
but I think that misinformation on Twitter is not just
a campaign issue.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
It's a you know, it's an America issue.

Speaker 8 (19:44):
What role does the White House or the President have
in sort of stopping that, or stopping the spread of that,
or sort of intervening in that. Some of that was
about campaign, this information, but you know, it's a wider thing.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
Right, Yeah, No, I mean you've heard us talk about
us many times from here about the responsibilities that social
media platforms have when it comes to misinformation disinformation.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Okay, I wanted to start with that. There's more that
KJP said. I'm not sure it shines any brighter light
on what I want to highlight here, but this is
truly chilling. You know, they are the tyrants they warned
us about. It's not Donald Trump. He's not going to
put Rachel Maddow in some kind of concentration camp. He's

(20:32):
not going to put you know, people that are on
the left like Cleve Woodson, who you just heard there
from Washington Post allegedly one of our top newspapers in
the nation. Woodward and Bernstein ring a Bell, that's who
they worked for, was wappo. It's not gonna put Cleave
woots and in a goulog. But you flip the script

(20:54):
here and they want to censor you. They want to
censor me. George Soros is entering the talk radio space
to take over Odyssey. That should be on your radar,
it's on mine.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Obviously.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
I work in this industry, in this field, but they
are working along with more hostile elements of the European
Union to shut down not only speech they don't like.
That's not a strong enough term. They are branding this,
in true Orwellian fashion as misinformation and disinformation, and we

(21:30):
need to stop the spread of this. And remember Scary Poppins,
that absolute lunatic woman that they were going to put
in charges like the tzar of misinformation, and then that
went away quickly. Remember that she was singing these songs
the question you just hold up a mirror to these
people literally now whenever you have a liberal friend, if

(21:52):
you have a liberal friend, and if you don't, I understand,
and well.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
We need to stop misinformations.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Oh that's great, okay, name for me one example, not two,
not five, One example of misinformation or disinformation from your side,
from the left. See if they can answer you, I'm
gonna bet even money they can't, and they won't because

(22:21):
they only classify this so called misinformation or disinformation as
inconvenient information to their narrative, things that they disagree with,
that they just would assume to silence somebody like myself,
like you, like Elon Musk or Donald Trump. That's why

(22:42):
you know, I am truly libertarian in this essence, but
classical liberal and like Democratic Republican Thomas Jefferson's stuff in
another yea, the whole I had liberal Democratic friends. I
got like this ice cream headache and it's not real,
but like on the one side of my head from
from having to die. I sect this because I distinctly

(23:03):
remember having liberal friends in classmates and colleagues in college,
both as an undergrad and as a graduate student, who
adhere to the principle of I may disagree with you,
but I would fight to the death for your right
to say what you have to say, and that sort
of thing.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
They don't do that anymore.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
They've become the fascists they warned us about. They are
the ones who want to silence their opposition. They are
the ones who have chosen to prosecute their opposition. They
are the baddies. In short, never let them forget this,
and don't take your foot off the gas on this topic.

(23:46):
This is important because it threatens the very essence of
our First Amendment and our free speech. And Elon Musk
had a clever retort to the EU, issuing like this
printed warning did you see this about you better be careful,
or we're going to come after you if you spread
any kind of misinformation or this is there another one

(24:07):
of their favorites, hate speech. Okay, define that for me
very specifically what you consider to be hate speech. Not
to mention the fact that in America, in the United States,
hate speech, Yes, it's protected. The ACLU used to protect
the Ku Klux Klan and their ability to demonstrate and

(24:29):
gather and hold rallies. Think about that for a moment,
but know the ACLU became very politicized. And this has
been long ago now, but that would be another instance.
I despise the clan, despise them. I despise was the
Jonesborough Baptist Church or whatever that protests the arrival of
the remains of soldiers that have died, you know, fighting

(24:52):
for our country. It's despicable. But let them have a platform,
let them expose themselves. This is why I would never
shut down. I am hoping ilhan Omar gets voted the
blank out tonight in Minnesota in their primary. It might happen,
could happen. It'd be great if it did happen. Corey
Bush gone, Jamal Bowman gone, ilan Omar Tonight We hope gone.

(25:18):
But you handle that at the ballot box, and it's
the vote of the people for whom these individuals would represent.
They decide that's it. If they want to be kooks,
if for Shida to lead wants to be an absolute
maniac and hate Jews, Okay. I want her to say
these things on the record publicly in the arena so

(25:39):
that we can participate in the arena rebut that speech
with our own and in the battle of ideas, hopefully
ours will win. I feel like we have winning ideas.
Maybe that's maybe that's what makes us different. We have
confidence in our ideas, in our principles, in our policies,
in our opinions, that we are willing to put them

(26:02):
up for debate. We are willing to be challenged in
our ideas. Think about how Kamala Harris is hiding right now.
She does not believe that her ideas will win in
the arena. Why is her campaign being quiet? You know,
this is where I differed with Dan and I think,
unlike Biden dropping out, he was right. I own a

(26:22):
tomahawk's steak. I fully fess up to that. However, what
I'm hearing and we'll get to this after this break.
There are members of the media now who are outwardly
vocally publicly calling out the Harris campaign for their unwillingness
to conduct an interview, to sit down with anybody a

(26:43):
friendly from CNN, CBS, ABC, WAPO, New York Times, Time Magazine,
and I just don't think they're going to settle for
this much longer. And you'll hear the reasons why when
we come back. Your text A five seven three nine,
your thoughts on the Elon Musk Donald Trump conversation on

(27:04):
X spaces last night. I want to hear from you,
and I'll get to those next after this time out
Ryan schuling with you on six point thirty K.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
And now deep thoughts by Vice President Kamala Harris.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
I want to give credit to Bernie.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
Take credit, Bernie.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
You know you brought us this foreign Medicare for All.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
I support Medicare for All. I always have.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Oh okay, good luck on ringing that bell. I don't
know how I know we're calling her jokingly, and I
don't know that boy George would be on board with this,
But the whole Kamala chameleon thing, I don't know how
she can seriously about face on that issue. Bernie Sanders

(28:00):
in fact, been asked about, Oh, you.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Have to do what you have to do. You good
to left thing.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
You don't just change every policy position you've ever have,
willy nilly. That doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. You either
believe what she said right there, and you heard her.
She's like, stand up, take a bow, Bernie, medicare for all.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
That was your idea.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
I can't take credit for it. That's your idea, but
I support it and I always have. So what's gonna
stop her from supporting it. She's gonna lie about this, folks.
Let's call this for what it is and call it
from one hundred miles away, and there might be they're
hoping just enough people out there who are low information

(28:43):
voters that are gonna buy it, and then she's gonna
bait and switch.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
That's what this is all about.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
She cannot run, she cannot hide from her policy positions,
which are whack a doodle left. But here's the plan.
I'm gonna outline it for you. I've been thinking a
lot about this. This is what they're trying to do.
They're going to try to build up a big enough
lead between the launch of her campaign, doing the rallies
at the arenas, building up this kind of false momentum,

(29:13):
this sugar high, ginning up excitement with joy.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
With joy. The joy it's back, don't you know?

Speaker 1 (29:20):
It's returned. It's joy, It's joyous. What is joyous about
the last three and two third years that she's been
in office as vice president? I can't think of anything.
I can't think of anything the average voter who's struggling
right now with inflation, the cost of living, that they
have to feel joyful about when it comes to this administration,
of which Kamala Harris has been a central part. She's

(29:43):
the fricking vice president. But that's all she's got, folks.
So they're going to try to coast on this momentum.
Joe Biden is speaking Monday. It'll be a tribute to
him at the DNC in Chicago. Hillary Clinton also speaking
on Monday. Barack Obama's lined up for Tuesday. Bill Clinton
is Wednesday. Interesting though, that they would have Obama before Bill.

(30:09):
I mean, all time, I would say who is the better,
more effective president, It's Bill Clinton. But popularity with the
modern younger crowd, they still love Barack Obama. But fundamentally
Bill was the better president. He was a far better
candidate in ninety two than Dukaccus wasn't eighty eight. And
he was a flip of the script from Jimmy Carter.

(30:29):
He was a third way. He was a new moderate Democrat,
and he ran like that. He didn't govern like that
in his first term. He was pulled back to the
middle by the ninety four blowout Republican Revolution. But overall,
Bill Clinton had a very successful presidency. He passed balanced
budgets with Newt Gingrich. So that's all common folks. And
next week, what they're going to try to do here,

(30:51):
they're going to stash Kamala away. She's going to roll
out some flimsy economic policies Friday, apparently in a rally.
They're going to get through their convention. They're going to
ride that high. They're going to hope she gets up
to like a four or five point lee and they're
going to hold on for dear life because they know
it's all downhill from there. They got nothing after that.
She can't avoid the media anymore. And here's another example why,

(31:13):
Sarah Sidner CNN.

Speaker 9 (31:15):
Why hasn't Kamala Harris laid out her policy agenda. It's
not even on her campaign's website.

Speaker 10 (31:21):
Oh so she's doing that this week. You know, she's talking,
you know, particularly about her economic message. She's also you know,
been going across the country filling arenas and talking about
what she's going to do on the rights that were
robbed for women when Roe was taken away. That's the

(31:42):
border crisis that she's going to solve. That her economic
policy won't benefit billionaires, but it will benefit hard working Americans.
She calls it, it's working for working people. She's stopping,
you know, before going on stage and talking to reporters,
and I expect more of that as we go into
the convention on Monday.

Speaker 9 (32:01):
A lot of people expecting her to do it a
proper sit down very soon, Frustrated that it hasn't happened yet.
Congressman Eric Swallwell, thank you so much for coming on
this morning. I appreciate you.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Sarah Sittner's not messing around, and she's no conservative folks.
They know that there's going to be a reckoning for
Kamala Harris.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
It's coming.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
It's like the storm on the horizon, and they're going
to try to bulwark this thing, build up a lead
and hope it doesn't just wither away, but it will
give it time, stay the course. Thousand points a light
George Herbert Walker Bush. I'm confident. I'm now over confident.
This could go sideways. It could go south, Kamala could win,

(32:40):
and those would be very dark times. All of that
could happen. I wouldn't bet on it, though, I'm not
betting on it. I'm betting on you. And here's those texts.
Patty says along with she's talking about Cleave Woodson from
Wappo throwing the First Amendment under the bus. He assumed
the Trump must contation would have misinformation in it, as

(33:02):
if it was known ahead of time, their conversation would
be so damning that it should have been taken down
ahead of time.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Patty, let me break.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
This down and distill it as much as I can.
I want Rashida to leave and the squad and all
these others to be out there because sunlight is the
best disinfectant, and I think what they have to say
will hurt them, it will damage them politically. I want
them to speak out and be heard by everyone. I
don't want to censor them other side of that coin,

(33:32):
people like Wootson and the left, Jensaki, KJP, members of
the media. They wanted to silence Donald Trump and Elon
Musk last night because they feared what those two might
say would help them, would work, would be convincing. Because
the policy positions that I heard last night, and I

(33:53):
know I'm biased, they sounded pretty good. They sounded quite relatable,
they sounded reasonable. They just might work. And that's what
they're afraid of. They're afraid that when the truth comes out,
and that means both about Trump's actual policies, what he's

(34:13):
done in office, what he would do in office again,
and that they stack that up against wherever Harris decides
that she's going to land on any of these position
policy positions. They know that that tail of the tape
is not going to go well for them, not at all.
So I want the I want the other side to
have a voice because I think it will hurt them.

(34:35):
They want to silence our side because they know that
sunlight for Donald Trump and Elon Musk and that conversation
will help them, will help Trump and Musk in our
side and hurt the left that needs to silence us
because that's the only chance they've got, and they've got
a lot of things working in their favor, including academia,

(34:57):
the mainstream media, big tech, but some of that come
in Trump's way. All of these institutions, bureaucracies within the government,
they're all pulling us to the left. And Donald Trump,
he is that beachhead for us in the upcoming election.
Plenty more to get to our number two straight ahead
