Speaker 1 (00:00):
I got this very thoughtful email, great email from one
of our I think I could nominate this woman as
the Hall of Fame listener and her husband, Rosie Renee says,
first off, my husband and I enjoy the majority of
your morning show, including the popular jocularity and sparring you
Jim and Lucy engage you. Much of your content is
(00:22):
interesting to us living in our little village of Julian,
Julian population forty one down there in Nemaha County Morning
Julian local politics, weather, local news, and most importantly sports,
and we both anticipate and greatly enjoy the Rosie de
Genosi every day. But here comes James. I take major
(00:44):
exception to your perpetuation of misinformation.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Don't like the butt part.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Well, this practice, she says, does nothing to continue, but
continue to divide people into camps or factions. I fully
realize your base are conservatives, but why villify democrats lefties
in parentheses like me who enjoy your show. Emails have
(01:08):
percolated in my head since January twentieth, and I'm finally
pulling the trigger. This may be the first of many
emails that will challenge your facts. And then Rene goes
on to say did Trump win a mandate? No, she says,
In fact, Trump won less than half of the popular vote,
which given the turnout, amounts to less than one third
of registered voters. His margin of victory was the titus
(01:32):
since two thousand, the fourth titus since nineteen forty. Subsequent
polling shows solid majorities opposed as tariff plans, birthright citizenship ban,
withdrawal from the Paris Climate Deal, January sixth pardons, and
the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico. I am in
that majority who definitely do not like Donald Trump nor
(01:54):
most of his politics. Please stop perpetuating the myth of
a mandate for Donald Trump. One of your devoted listeners, Renee,
Thank you, Renee very well written, very well written mandate
in terms of what we have seen in recent presidential elections,
that they're all going to be narrow now from now on.
(02:15):
Apparently won all the swing states, won a solid majority
in the electoral College, and won the popular vote. To me,
that says America looked at the two and says, I
want that guy. I like what he's saying. I want
to see him do some of this stuff, even if
I don't like him. So Now, if a mandate by
(02:35):
Renee's definition, I guess as you have an overwhelming popular
vote went well.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
The bigger the most important metric to look at when
you start deciding whether somebody had a good election night
from a national standpoint, is legislative congressional districts. There are
about twenty nine hundred voting precincts in the country, and
from New York City to Los Angeles to Julia, Nebraska,
(03:04):
about twenty nine hundred. Trump won twenty two hundred of
the twenty nine hundred voting precincts. Now, that's a mandate.
It's not the top popular vote. It's not you know,
the Swing States, because he didn't win the Swing States
by you know, a lot of margin, just like Joe
Biden didn't win the Swing States by a lot of
margin in twenty and twenty. But when you look at
(03:26):
the number of voting precincts carried by Donald Trump, it's
a gigantic red mask, right, and with a little bit
of blue dot here and there, typically in the very evilated,
heavily populated urban areas.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, that's true. And this goes to also why the
Founders and the Framers decided that the electoral college was a
good idea. They want everybody to kind have a voice.
But regarding Renee's point about vilifying Democrats, I don't consciously
do that. When I say lefties, I'm not talking about
(03:59):
all Democrats. I don't know what word to use, the progressives,
the TDS, victims, what's the proper no, even liberal? But
there are you know this, Renee and anybody who's paying
attention to some of these people are off their nut. Man.
It's they're just gone well and they're running the party.
They really are. And I have a lot of friends.
(04:21):
Let me just finish the thought. I have a ton
of friends who are Democrats and vote that way, and
we can agree all day long to disagree about that.
I'm not talking about them. So I hope that answers
that part of it.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Renee Gent, Well, it may be, And I think probably
what you look at to me is common sense approach
to the issues and dollars and cents and what's fair
and what's unfair. It is unfair for boys to play
on girls teams. If we can't agree on that, I
don't know what we can't agree on. I don't think
(04:54):
it's fair, but you don't have to hate people that
disagree with you. But I don't hate people. I just
say we need a third We need a third division,
trans division that you can't have boys running track against
girls or boys playing volleyball against girls. That's unfair to girls.
And so what the progressive left and what progressivism has initiated,
(05:18):
and I think wrapped its arms around Sateller, is we
had all of these years of bad behavior and mischief
by stale pale and male political leaders, and now we're
making up for it. And that brings about the argument
of reparations, and that brings about the argument of okay,
eoe is not for today, it's to make up for
(05:38):
all the crap that happened all those years ago. And
my point is you can't change history. Yes, we did
have slaves in this country, but we're the first civilized
society to end slavery in this game, nobody ever gets
credit for that. Well, and even Barack Obama said but
by law, by presidential law and mandate, And even Barack
(06:01):
Obama has said this, You cannot judge the progressive nature
of our society by simply picking and choosing the issues
that matter to you. You have to look at the
whole picture in totality. Anyway, I want to thank that's
the difference. Thank Renee and her husband for listening every morning.
Appreciate it very much. Yeah, and you too. Studio's fair
(06:23):
that you pay taxes so this able bodied person doesn't
have to work.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Now you want to have the debate here, I'm just
talking about that's I appreciate Renee's point, and I hope
we addressed it fairly.
