A Thumbs Up From America

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, what we need is more common sense.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Common breaking down the world's nonsense about.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
How American common sense.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
We'll see us through with the common sense of Houston.
I'm just pro common sense for Houston. From Houston dot com.
This is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by
viewind dot com. Now here's Jimmy Barrett.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Hey, Happy Columbus Day. We'll talk a little more about
Columbus Date before we actually end the show today. But
before we do it, I realized that probably some of
you don't have to work today. Thank you for listening. Anyway,
it's much appreciating for those of you that are coming
home from work today and you did have to work
on Columbus Date, thank you for doing it. As you
can see, I'm here, I'm working. I'd worked. In fact,

(00:55):
I worked a double. I worked the morning show and
I work on this show on Columbus Day. All Right,
we had a talkback question today. I'm going to share
with you here because one of the main many problems
I have with college football now is that can we
can we stop pretending that there is anything amateur or

(01:15):
there's anything student about student athletes? Can we can we
just forget that. Now, can we officially just give up
on that? Can we just call college football what it is,
the minor leagues of the National Football League. I mean,
we're not going to pretend anymore, are we, that this
is about you know, going to school, getting a degree,

(01:36):
you know, playing playing for your your particular school. You're
caring about your alma mater at some point in time. Yeah,
I think we can just give up on that. One
of the things, in addition to nil money that is
really changed in college sports is coaching and what is

(01:57):
expected of a head coach. And but the alumni are
willing to do to jettison a head coach who they
think is no longer worth retaining. And we found that
out yesterday when Penn State decided they were going to
fire James Franklin. Now to me, James Franklin, you know,

(02:20):
I don't know in the annals of coaching history, you
know how great or how good they're ultimately going to
look back at his career and think that he was.
I do know that he brought a certain level of
success to Penn State that hadn't been there since the
Joe Paterno days. That he made them a perennial winner,
that he was competing for Big Ten championships, that his

(02:44):
football program was highly rated. It was highly rated this
year up until the point they lost three games, highly unusual.
I don't know what happened. Maybe maybe it is a
coaching problem, but it's it's really strange that your three
three So you're six games into the season, the season
is far from over, there's still time to write the ship.

(03:07):
Why would you just get rid of the guy? And
I can only assume that there's a tremendous amount of pressure,
probably from the same alumni groups that you know, come
up with the money for the millions of dollars necessary
fundraising necessary in order to pay these college athletes, to
give these kids a name likeness deal. That's multi millions

(03:27):
of dollars. I mean, that's what's going on now. These
top players, these top recruits, they go to whichever school's
willing to pay them, in many cases, the most money,
and it's millions of dollars. When Bryce Underwood got recruited
to quarterback at Michigan, I think his deals like eight
million dollars. It's for a kid right out of high
school who hasn't proven anything yet. I mean he's going

(03:50):
to be a great talent. Yeah, he probably is, but
eight million dollars, I mean, come on, So anyway, in
the case of James Franklin, you know, these coach just
have contracts because you know, clearly, you know, when the
alumni decides they don't like you anymore, they can fire you.
So most of these things have a buyout plan on
both ends. A buyout if you get fired and a

(04:15):
buy out to you if you want to leave for
another job. And as the length of the contract goes on,
the buyout is generally less money. Well, James Franklin signed
a brand new contract not all that long ago. So
the buyout are you ready for this one? The buyout
for him, I should say, the buyout for the university
to get out of the contract with James Franklin. Forty

(04:39):
nine million dollars. Forty nine million dollars.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
I can hang on.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
I gotta I gotta repeat that one more time, just
to Litz think in forty nine million dollars to walk away. Clearly,
he doesn't have to work another day his life, and
there's got to be a certain amount of the liberation there.
You're the pressure's off now, I mean, on one hand,
you know, if you're competitive, and I'm sure he is.

(05:07):
To be a top college football coach, you've got to
be a pretty competitive person. I'm sure he's pretty competitive.
I'm sure he hates the fact that he got fired.
I'm sure he wishes he's rather, you know, still had
his job. But that's going to make you feel a
little bit better about life, doesn't it. Forty nine million
dollars here, you go, forty nine million, Just go away.
We're going to keep on paying you until we pay

(05:28):
back all the forty nine million. I mean, he's rich,
didn't have to worry about the dog one thing. And
then there's the rest of us. This is kind of
like playing the lottery. What I'm going to propose right here,
this is a lot like, you know, playing the lottery.
How much how much money would it take for you
to win in the lottery before you felt like you

(05:50):
had enough? How much money? If your employer said, where
we want we want you to go, we'd like you
to leave. I never want to see you again, we
never want you to work again. You can no longer
work a job. How much money would it take for
you in order to say that? Yeah, okay, I'll do that.

(06:13):
I thought about that, and I came up with two million,
and it's a combination of things. Two million dollars means
that with money I've already invested, I could just put
that money away and just supplement my income with the
interest off of that and probably be just fine. And rarely,

(06:35):
if ever, I have to touch the principle, unless I
want to go out there and do something stupid, like
by a brand new house or big old boat or
something like that. Two million. Cliff from our newsroom said
five million dollars. The other thing that went into me
saying two million is I you know, and I'm not
trying to brag by saying this bay stretch of the imagination,

(06:56):
but I tried to imagine what my yearly income is
over the next let's say five years, and it's probably
somewhere in that general area. You know, I don't think
I don't think you could reasonably expect somebody to buy
you out of a twenty five thousand dollars year job,
for example, by offering you five million dollars, which is

(07:18):
I'm not saying that that's what Cliff makes, but but
what I'm saying is is that five million dollars. Nobody's
going to pay you five million dollars to leave when
you could work there for ten years and not make
that much money. I think skyt Michaels a little cheaper.
Was he like seventy five bucks in leftovers? Something like that?

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Anyway, it was fun to kind of talk about it.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Anyway, Quick a little break, We're back with Morning a Moment,
Happy Columbus Stag Jimmy Vertt Show. You're an AM nine
to fifty KPRCIX. All right, let's let's start segment two
today by talking about the Nobel Peace Prize, which President
Trump didn't get. Now, President Trump is in Israel today.

(08:02):
Much to my surprise, all of the hostages, all the
living hostages, were released by Hamas. All twenty were released
on schedule. I really thought Hamas would do something stupid
and wouldn't, you know, maybe release a couple of them
but keep the rest, you know, do something, which they
didn't do much to my surprise. So maybe I need

(08:26):
to be a little bit more optimistic here, But I
think it's got less to do with me being optimistic
and more to do with President Trump. I think what
President Trump probably very very shrewdly did is he probably
told them and knowing certain terms, what would happen if
they didn't let the hostages go. You don't let the
hostages go, We're going to come in. We're going to

(08:47):
support Israel, and we're going to make you disappear. I'm
just guessing. But words to that effect, words that would
make you think, okay, yeah, he really would. In probably
around said just so you know, he really would. Okay,
he said we couldn't have a nuclear program. It's gone,

(09:08):
thank you very much. So I think they took him
very seriously. That's number one. But number two of courses
is he's gone to Israel. He's gotten the heroes. Welcome
in Israel. I mean everywhere he goes. I mean even NBC,
which we know just absolutely hates Donald Trump, was you know,

(09:30):
pretty positive about his appearance there in Israel.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
It's the one I points with the remains of twenty
eight others is still more unclear. They have until Thursday
to find all of the remains.

Speaker 6 (09:41):
If you're joining our life coverage now, we're seeing our
first images. Now President Trump, as he's arrived here at
Ben Gurion Airport in Israel. He will address the Kanesse,
which is the Israeli Parlament Parliament. He's being greeted now
by the Prime Minister Benjamin Nettan Yahoo, an ally obviously
in the region, and someone he negotiated with intensely over
the life last few months to get this deal, this

(10:02):
first phase of the peace plan, with Hamas also on hand,
as we've mentioned before, Jared Kushner, his son in law,
Ivanka his daughter, and Steve Witkoff, a special on board
in the Mid East who really has been coordinating a
lot of the negotiations both here and in Katar, to
get to that place where they could agree, at least
on paper, right Richard, they could agree that at the

(10:23):
first phase they'll release the hostages, Israel will hould back
from Gaza. Maybe the most important part, maybe the most
sensitive part, but the most complicated part, is going to
happen in phase two. What happens to Gaza, what happens
to the Israeli military there, and.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Who is in charge?

Speaker 7 (10:37):
All of those are open questions, some of them still need.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
To be negotiated.

Speaker 8 (10:42):
The Israeli military is calling this operation returning Home, and
I believe you now our first image is the president.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
We are seeing President Trump.

Speaker 6 (10:52):
He's just made that ten hoturd journey from Washington, DC
here to Israel. Right now here in Hostage Square, they
are applauding. Every time they see him, they applaud He's
been greeted again by the Prime Minister Benjamin Nett and
Yahoo here. It'll be It's unclear if he'll speak right away.
The President at times to speak to the press. If
you see some cameras, he'll come up and talk. We

(11:12):
don't have any plans of that right now, at least
one in the schedule. But with President Trump, you never
really know. Richard, this is an incredible day, two years
in the making. Those hostages have lived in hell for
two years, tortured, starved. The twenty living right now hopefully
will be back in Israel at least in a few hours.
Heroes welcome and deserved and deserved, certainly deserve. Heroes welcome

(11:36):
for President Trump in Israel. And he did speak to
the Kanesse, which is their parliament, spoke to them for
a long time. I'm it looked to me because I'm
just doing the morning show at the time, so I
really couldn't listen, but it looked to me like he
was ad libbing a lot. So I'm sure he just

(11:57):
had an opportunity to say whatever the heck he wanted
to say, and he took that opportunity to do so
he's basking as he should in the glory of what's
been accomplished, at least so far. Knock on wood, then
everything works out. The other thing, here's another feather in
the president's cap. Is we talked about last week. There's
no way they were going to give him the Nobel

(12:18):
Peace Prize. I mean, they just weren't. They weren't going
to give the man the Nobel Peace Prize, even though
he deserves it. They gave Barack Obama a Nobel Peace
Prize for doing nothing, but they wouldn't give President Trump
a Peace Prize for actually making peace deals that nobody
else can make, which is, you know, disgusting. But okay,

(12:40):
So the woman who got but this is maybe just
as good. Maria Carina Machado. This is the Venezuelan capitalism supporter.
This is the woman who's trying to bring back democracy
to Venezuela. She's the one that got the Nobel Peace Prize.

(13:02):
Turns out she called Trump and dedicated the Peace prize
the Nobel Peace Prize to him, saying that he deserved it.
So here is President Trump talking about getting that phone call,
and then Maria Cardinal Machado on Fox talking about President
Trump and how he deserved to get the Nobel Peace Prize.

Speaker 8 (13:21):
It's a great honor to be involved with so many.
So the person who actually got the Nobel Prize called
today called me and has said, I'm accepting this in
honor of you, because you really deserved it.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
A very nice thing to do. I didn't.

Speaker 8 (13:39):
I didn't say then give it to me, though I
think she might have. She was very nice, and I've been,
you know, I've been helping her.

Speaker 9 (13:45):
Along the way. They need a lot of help in Venezuela,
and they decided to dedicate it to President Trump because
he deserves it, because not only has he been involved
in only a few months in solving eight wars, but
his actions have been decisive to have Venezuela now at
a first hold of freedom after twenty six years of

(14:10):
tyranny that have destroyed the lives of millions of Venezuela.

Speaker 10 (14:15):
Destabilized region, and undermine the institutions in the United States.
Because ov in Venezuela as I say, heaven of the
enemies of the United States, and using our territory and
our resources to hurt the American people and American institutions
is certainly a threat to the national security of the

(14:37):
United States and the security of the hemisphere. The President
Trump has been very clear courageous in terms of dismantling
the criminal structure on behalf of the Venezuelan people. I
reaffirmed our gratitude and our commitment to this cause for
the whole America. So I insist he deserves it, and

(14:58):
we are very proud to working at this moment with
all these aies for this huge resolution.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
You know, I'm struck by what she's saying, because here's
somebody from a third world country who actually appreciates Trump
and what Trump stands for and what Trump is doing,
and wants to emulate what Trump is doing. And that
is also happening in Europe as well, and plenty of
other countries who have a better sense of appreciation for

(15:30):
what the President's trying to do. It's only the progressive
left in those other countries and in this country who
are so anti Trump, and they're desperately fighting against going
back to things like capitalism and pride in your country.
They're working so hard against that. Greg Guttfeldt, by the way,

(15:55):
said that is only he can said that. Okay, So
he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. He has won
something better than the Nobel Peace Prize with the American people.
Here's Greg Guttfield from his show There's Trump.

Speaker 11 (16:08):
He broken peace deals between Israel and Hamas, Indian, Pakistan, Serbia, Kosovo,
Egypt and Ethiopia, Cambodia and Thailand, Congo and Rwanda. And
even as we speak, he's trying to get Ilhan and
her brother to renew their vows. Beautiful, beautiful, and you

(16:29):
want real peace. Even our southern borders calmer under Trump,
illegal crossings hit a fifty five year low. That's the
piece you can measure in reduced crime and drugs, not
killing your cousin. So even though Trump may not get
the prize, he is our prize because when.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
He wins, we win.

Speaker 11 (16:46):
That's because his own personal goals to be great aligned
with Americas. We want to be great too. It would
be far different if that wasn't the case. When a
leader's personal aims don't match the countries, what's that like well,
you live through it. Biden's goals had nothing to do
with ours, which is why Hunter never had to work.

(17:06):
Doctor Jill ran the show and his staff worried that
men might be pregnant if they miss their period. But
Trump's not that way when he's in charge, so are you.
He creates clear lines. You please him, you prosper, You
cross him, you're screwed. So suddenly you get peace deals
you'd never think were possible because you don't want to piss.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
This guy off.

Speaker 11 (17:27):
Just ask SOLEMONI the who the pirates, Iran or the cartels,
But save your breath because they no longer produce any.
That's Trump's persuasion, a peacemaker until you piss him off.
Then you wake up with a horse in your bed
or a cow in your Irish pub.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah, oh thank you.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Never fails, does it?

Speaker 11 (17:53):
And yeah, maybe Trump would like to have the Peace Prize.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
But he doesn't need it.

Speaker 11 (18:00):
Success in life doesn't come from awards handed out by
globalists in some irrelevant European state. It comes from having
the greatest comeback in American politics, which is why we
decided to give Trump something far better than the Nobel
Peace Prize.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
Congratulations President Donald Trump, You're the winner of the biggest, beddest,
most peaceful prize you losers has ever seen.

Speaker 11 (18:34):
So, mister p you may not get a shiny trophy
from elites, but you're getting something better, a thumbs up
from America.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yeah. I'd rather have a thumbs up from America too
if I were the presidents who needs an award by
a bunch of elites who are progressives? Now, you'll want
to be recognized in a positive way by them. That
would mean you're doing the wrong thing. All right, quick
low break back with Morning Mom and Jimmy Bart show
here in a nine fifty KPRC. All right, here's the

(19:10):
conversation from this morning. I think Bear's repeating on our
afternoon show today, and that is Attorney General Ken Paxton,
who's expanded his securing children online through parental Empowerment. It's
called the Scope because we have to have an acronym.
If it's a government program, it has to have an acronym.

(19:30):
Scope Act investigation into online chat platform Discord. Have you
ever heard of discord? I don't imagine that most of
us had heard of discord before Charlie Kirk. And the
only reason why we know about discord after Charlie Kirk
is that supposedly it was a communication device used by

(19:52):
the assassin, the reported assassin who murdered Charlie Kirk, he
used it, some of the people he was talking to
used it. There's a lot of things about it that
are unsavory and that you would not want to have
your children exposed to. In fact, here's what the Attorney

(20:13):
General Ken Paxson said, I'm sending shoulder to shoulder with
the Trump administration to root out and defeat nihilistic violent
extremism in all of its forms. This Court has chosen
to allow extremist content, sexual exploitation, and addiction to floor
Shawna's platform. It has a legal obligation to prevent minors

(20:34):
from being exposed to these evils, but instead its actions
have contributed to the growing wave of nihilistic violence all
across our nation. In other words, this is not a
platform that young people should be on. It's not a
platform anybody should be on. But we do have a
little something called the First Amendment. And if people want

(20:58):
to talk about these things that I guess they have
a right to do so. But you don't have the
right to sexually exploit a minor, which evidently has been happening.
You have the right to groom miners, you don't have
you don't have the right to help create gangs. You'll
have the right to carry out violent, extreme violent acts.

(21:20):
And that's part of what seems to be happening on
this The question becomes what do you do about it?
How do you prevent it? What what do you do?
And that's where we had a guest on this morning
on the Morning Show, and kat Irrich I'm gonna share
that with you right now. He's an attorney. His name
is Steve Hayes, and we're going to talk about what
you can and potentially cannot do about a platform like discord.

(21:44):
If you're the attorney general of the Great State of Texas,
how do you go by looking at any social platform
and making a determination of whether or not it's safe
for kids?

Speaker 12 (21:53):
Well, I think, first of all, if you're the attorney general,
you've got to have some guidance, normally in the form
of a law. There are certain things that are obviously
you know, illegal drinking and things of that type. You know,
promoting things are pretty clear, but the scope tact was very,
very comprehensive attempt at going through and really taking a

(22:17):
lot of opportunities that lead younger people into big problems,
you know, off the board. And they have a judge,
Robert Pittman. I read most of his opinion, and it
was pretty much you know, coming along, and he did
it very carefully. But almost all of this is based

(22:39):
on what you can do, not that it's not a
good idea to protect kids, but what you can do
as a government to do so, like you and I
as parents or me as a grandparent now can do
whatever we want to restrict access. We can try to
do it, but as you know, the younger people are

(23:01):
so adept right now, or they go to somebody else's
home or whatever, that you can only do so much.
So what the state has tried to do is set
some boundaries within which they have to operate now, you know.
And it's interesting because if this were only related to

(23:21):
children in Texas, it would probably be okay in a
different way. In other words, would be less offensive. They
would have to make more things definite. There are some
parts of it that I think all of us would
agree with the judge were very very vague, because we
would have different.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Ideas of what.

Speaker 12 (23:42):
You know, some things like groomy, what does that mean exactly?

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Well, we all know generally what it.

Speaker 12 (23:48):
Means, but it's too vague, and historically the courts have
not allowed things that were vague to be enforced because
two different people could have two different ideas.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (24:01):
The only acception I can tell you right away is
the income text, which is very vague, and they let
that be unfortunate.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
But good point. You really have.

Speaker 12 (24:12):
You really have a situation here where the state's doing
things now. Parts of it, of the scope tact, you know,
have been enjoyed by two different in two different cases.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
By the same judge.

Speaker 12 (24:23):
And but they you know, they still have in Texas
the right to require age restrictions, you know, basically to
register it. You can't restrict it, but you have to
register it. You have to be able to give what
they called the data collection limits and parental control and consense.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
You have to set that up. There's nothing vague about that.

Speaker 12 (24:49):
You've got to disclose the algorithms that your site uses
in order to hook people up with different groups or
suggest groups and things of that type. And you've got
to look at you know, not allowing a youngster to
buy something just by clicking a button. And you've got

(25:12):
to look at also what you can do in terms
of the way you market and advertise and how it's
set up. So there are restrictions, and those are useful.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
Now.

Speaker 12 (25:23):
Unfortunately, I've had to be involved in some situations where
there were younger people that got on Discord as a
matter of fact, and we're accessing let's just say, rather
obnoxious and actually atrocious type content and these were not

(25:47):
monitored and they were refused. And Discord's policy is that
they do not allow, you know, child pornography, which is
what I'm referring to.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
They don't allow that. They take it off.

Speaker 12 (26:00):
In fact, they have in other cases they have shown
that their algorithm, when it finds that kind of contact,
removes it, but they don't find it. I mean, there
are millions and millions and millions.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Of people that use that and they just don't find it.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
As I listened to this, I'm just reminded that there's
no substitute in the world for a diligent parent willing
to spy on their kids in order to protect them.

Speaker 12 (26:27):
That's the real control, that's really the thing. And you know,
and I think Paxson has said this, and I believe
one of his press conferences, but I think it's also true.
I mean, we can do a decent job, like I
have to be. I have a seven year old granddaughter
that likes to sit it in front of an Alexa

(26:47):
and have it play things. But she's some you know,
but she could ask questions and get right on the net.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
So we have to be careful with that.

Speaker 12 (26:54):
But there are a lot of parents, I mean, that
are not as thorough as and they allow their children
much more access. And you go, your child goes to
see that child and guess what.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
Oh that's weird. It ended like that. Okay, all right,
I seem to call that going a little bit further
than that, But I stick with my original point here,
which is, at the end of the day, there is
no substitute for a diligent parent, and we don't have
very many diligent parents right now, at least not diligent

(27:30):
the way my parents were. My parents knew where I
was and what I was doing at all times. Now,
they never let on that they knew exactly where I
was and what I was doing at all times, and
they let me make mistakes. But at the end of
the day, they were vigilant. And the world we live
in requires more vigilance, I think than ever before. So

(27:54):
we have to get back to that. I'm sorry, you're
not your child's friend. I don't have to tell any
of you listening this show, but if you have a
child who's raising children, for example, and you see that,
you know there's not enough. There's there's just not enough vigilance.
I hope, I know, I know, I listen. I know

(28:15):
how hard it is to tell your kids how to
raise their kids. But there are diplomatic ways to do it.
And may I urge you to try to find a diplomatic,
diplomatic way to approach the topic, because this is a
problem has to get fixed, all right, quick little break
back with more in a moment. Jimmy Bart show a
nine fifty KPRCI. A couple of things for the world

(28:41):
of politics worth covering here for nothing else. They're fairly
entertaining things to discuss. One of them has to do
with somebody we were talking about last week. She's a
Democrat candidate for governor in California. Uh, what is it, Katie?
Is that her first name is a Katie or Karen. No, No,

(29:03):
it's not Karen. She just acts like a Karen. That's
why I went with Karen.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
No.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Her name is Katie Porter, and h and Katie. There's
all kinds of videos now, all of a sudden servicing.
Isn't it amazing how that happens? You know, you never
really hear about somebody and then they do something really
bad and it's caught on video and people watch it,
and before you know, the whole media is looking for

(29:31):
other examples of somebody behaving badly, and they find plenty
of them. Megan Kelly on her podcast found one of
this Katie Porter giving an interview with a CBS correspondent
having to do with her position on issues, where she
just kind of starts to lose it and she does

(29:53):
what she always does, which is I'm not going to
do this and and and goes into, you know, into
bitchy mode. So here's Megan Kelly sharing that audio and
reacting to It's pretty funny.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
They're in the midst of the of the Democrat primary
and she gets to Katie Porter, who is the leader.
She looks like she's gonna win. She's far ahead in
the polls, and she's a far left progressive. I mean,
of course California right on brand. You just said you
don't need those Trump voters, so you asked me if
I need them to win?

Speaker 10 (30:21):
You don't think like this is unnecessarily argumentative?

Speaker 3 (30:23):
What is your question?

Speaker 13 (30:24):
So you I don't want to keep doing this, I'm
gonna call it.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
You're not gonna do the interview with them?

Speaker 6 (30:32):
Nope, not like this. I'm not not with seven follow
ups to every single question you.

Speaker 5 (30:35):
Ask every other candidate has.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
I don't care. I have had to do this before.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
Ever, You've never had had an conversation. It's like the
interviewers slipped into Latin, like what do you mean?

Speaker 12 (30:49):
What do you?

Speaker 5 (30:49):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Like?

Speaker 5 (30:51):
What am I gonna do?

Speaker 3 (30:51):
What? Nothing? What do you mean?

Speaker 5 (30:55):
And the reporter who's just I love the reporter because
she pretends she's just asking questions, but she is mildly antagonistic.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Yeah, she got some sass and I love it. I
love some sas she does.

Speaker 5 (31:09):
She does, so it's like the unspoken things. She gets
to pretend that she's just asking questions, but she is poking.
Would I'm sorry, but I just love this clip so much.
My team was like, oh no, she shorten it. You know,
it's like too long. I'm like, what are you crazy?
I'm like, let the whole thing play Let the whole
three and a half minutes play off, because you got
to see how the reporter's like, everybody else has answered

(31:30):
these questions. You can't answer a question about what you're
gonna do to appeal to forty percent well, and then
Katie Porter just blows she can't handle it anymore. She's
got the whole body language there like I'm done and
you're like, oh, ron run. She knows she should keep
it together because she's on camera and she knows. She
knows that this is like her campaign slipping away as
she can't control her anger. And then the little needler

(31:51):
just keeps being like totally like you're not answer the question.
Everybody else is everybody else? Everyone everyone's answered them, but
you you can't answer questions. She's like, this is never
happened before. She's like, you've never asked questions before. One
upsmanship to the point where Katie Porter realizes she cannot
walk away, and it ends in disaster, ruination, and despair,
which is why we all love it so much.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
Disaster rumination and despair. Okay, And as long as we're
talking about candidates melting down or having a meltdown moment,
because because this woe didn't really melt down per se.
She just either didn't know what to say or was
afraid of what she would say if she said something,

(32:37):
and it was really kind of hoping the whole thing
would go away. I'm talking about the Virginia governor's race Virginia,
having lived there for a while, a little bit different. Say,
first of all, if you're a governor, you cannot succeed yourself.
So every four years you have a new candidate for
both parties. Well, not necessarily for both parties. I guess

(32:57):
the losing party can put up the same person they
ran the last and lost if they want. But in
this case, you have the current lieutenant governor running for
governor as a Republican seers and you have a woman
by the name of Abigail Spamberger typical Northern Virginia progressive
female state legislature. She's a part I know, I can't

(33:18):
remember she's I think she's a representative. I don't think
she's in the state Senate anyway. You also have Lieutenant
governor candidates running and attorney general. Well, the attorney general
candidate for the Democrats. It came out that he had
set these text messages basically hoping somebody would shoot in

(33:40):
a local attorney, a Republican attorney who was a member
of the state legislature and threatening his kids. You know,
just despicable stuff. And she has refused. The Democrat Party
in Virginia, first of all, has refused to tell this guy,
you're not not running. We can't get past this, You're

(34:01):
going to have to step down. So he's still running
and I guess has a potential to be elected. All
his poll numbers have gone to hell since this whole
thing broke out, But the Lieutenant governor candidate and the
governor candidate, Abigail Spamberger have refused to disavow this guy.
So this last debate that was the tail endo last week,

(34:22):
this last debate, the topic came up and the Republican
gubernatorial candidate win. Some seers refused to let up on it.
So take a listen to all this in how this
is working out. This might be enough to turn the
election around for Republicans because it hasn't been going that well.

Speaker 13 (34:40):
Will you continue to endorse Jay Jones to be the
next Attorney General of Virginia. So the public was unaware
who had knowledge of these text messages?

Speaker 1 (34:49):
For many of us, you do.

Speaker 13 (34:52):
The text messages the day that they came out, and
I denounced them as soon as I learned of Now,
what you're saying is that as of now, you still
endorse Jay Jones.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
As attorney general.

Speaker 13 (35:03):
I'm saying, as of now, it's up to every voter
to make their own individual decision.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
I was breaking Fox News contributed byer in York for
more on this board. She could have been on Dancing
with the Stars with that answer.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
You know, it seems pretty clear.

Speaker 7 (35:18):
It's October tenth, the election is three and a half
weeks away. Democrats are not going to let Jay Jones go.
And if there was any opportunity that Abigail Spenberger was
going to take to say no, I do not support him,
he should not be the Attorney General of Virginia, it
would have been last night, and she didn't do it.
I think the only problem was was that Winson Earl

(35:40):
Sears kept interrupting Spenberger while she was not answering questions.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
You know, there were some Democrats like Megan Hayes. You say,
absolutely Jay Jones should get out of the race. But
I think this little exchange here last night, well it
was actually the one way exchange really demonstrated the Democrats
seemed to take an attitude that if they just ignore it,
it might go away.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Watch here.

Speaker 14 (36:05):
Would it take him pulling the trigger?

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (36:07):
What would do it?

Speaker 14 (36:08):
And then you would say he needs to get out
of the race, Abigail, you have nothing.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
To say, Abigail.

Speaker 14 (36:16):
What if he said it about your two children, your
three children? Is that when you would say he should
get out of the race, Abigail, you're running.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
To be governor? Gill ain't answered. Luckily she had the
bell to save her on that one. Listen, y'all have
a great day. Thanks for listening. I do appreciate it.
Happy Colymbus day. See you tomorrow morning, bright and early,
starting five am on news Radio seven forty KTRH, we
are back here tour on a nine KPRC
