Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from wor Now the WOOR Saturday
Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Here's Larry Minty.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Good Saturday morning to you.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Coming up on today's show, Minnesota Governor Tim Walls, a
guy nobody outside of Minnesota new gets picked to be
Kamala Harris's running mate. We'll talk with columnist Alex Chediak,
who wrote a column Tim Walls is a gift that
will keep on giving and what is Project twenty twenty five.
(00:31):
The Democrats are using it to attack Republicans running for office.
So what is it and why is it so controversial?
We'll ask Washington based Republican political consultant Reynard Jackson. But
first a look back at the weeks it was. It
was Wall's week. On Monday, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris
(00:55):
introduced Minnesota Governor Tim Walls as her running mate, and
in ninety one.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Days the Nason will know coach Waltz by another name.
Vice President of the United States.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Kamala Harris was pressured by the far left in her
party to choose Walls, making them now together the most
liberal ticket ever to run for presidents. A few days
before Walls was picked, he was on a video call
with donors and was asked about his liberal record that
borders on socialism, and this is what he said.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Thank you, Madam Vice President, for the trust you put
in me, but maybe more so, thank you for bringing
back the joy.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Just ask the people in Venezuela if socialism is neighborly.
Nancy Pelosi has been in the media campaigning for the
Harris Wall's ticket, and she was asked if she was
the one who finally forced President Biden to step aside.
I wasn't asking him to step down.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
I was asking for a campaign that would win, and
I wasn't seeing that on the horizon.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
If you watch the video of this, Pelosi gives a
sly smile when asked the question. We'll have to wait
for the inevitable tell All book to find out what
really happened, But my money is on Pelosi as the
one who gave the final shove out the door. Will
there be a debate? Donald Trump says the debate he
(02:37):
agreed to with President Biden on ABC is now no
and void because President Biden's no longer in the race,
but he will debate Kamala on his terms.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
She doesn't do interviews because she can't answer questions. I
don't know how she debates. He hears she's sort of
a nasty person, but not good debater. But we'll see,
because we'll be debate, I guess in the pretty near future.
It's going to be announced fairly soon, but we'll be
debating her. I'd like to see it on Fox, by
the way. I would like to see it. My preference
(03:09):
would be Fox, But we have to debate.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
That was Wednesday. No word on a finalized debate yet,
but Trump sure made it seem that one is in
the offing. We shall see. And the most bizarre story
of the week, Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Junior
was the one who dropped the bear cub dead bear
(03:32):
cub in Central Park, solving a decade long crime.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
A music for whoever found it or something.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
There will be no charges filed. RFK, by the way,
says he found the bear on the road in upstate
New York and took it home and put it in
his freezer to eat. This is a strange story all around.
Speaking of strange, when is Kamala Harris going to find
only talked to the media since Biden stepped down, She's
(04:04):
answered no questions. She's had no press conferences, no sit
down interview, nothing, just teleprompter events. Jd Vance even walked
over to her plane and tried to ask her questions
himself since the media isn't doing its job.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Had a little bit of fun.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
I don't think the Vice president waived at me as
she drove away, but I'm glad to have done it.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Forget what the mainstream media keeps pushing about jd Vance.
He has been nothing but impressive on the campaign and
has been to the border. Unlike Kamala, the Buddhers are
and a story that is slowly getting a lot of attention.
The Democratic vice presidential nominee is being accused of stolen valor,
(04:49):
of embellishing his military service with the National Guard to
burnish his political career.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
He said, we shouldn't allow weapons that I used in
war to be on America's streets.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Well, I wondered, Tim Walts, when were you ever in war?
Speaker 8 (05:05):
When was this?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
What was this weapon that you carried into war?
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Given that you abandoned your unit right before they went
to Iraq and he has not spent a day in
a combat zone.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Sergeant Walls announced that he resigned from the National Guard
right after they got the orders to deploy to a
rock and then claimed in interviews that he saw war.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
The story is not going away.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
And Donald Trump holds a news conference where he challenges
Kamala to three debates.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I think it's very important to have debates.
Speaker 9 (05:38):
And we've agreed with Fox on a date of September fourth.
We've agreed with NBC fairly full agreement, subject to them
on September tenth, and we've agreed with ABC on September
twenty fifth.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
That news conference and debate challenge is brilliant as it's
drawing Kamala out of her metaphorical basement.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
And that's the week that was still to come.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Is Tim Walls the gift that will keep on giving
for Republicans? Columnist Alex Chediac thinks, so we'll talk with
him next.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Now, more of the woor Saturday Morning Show and Larry Minty.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Oh my, there's a whole lot coming out about Democratic
vice presidential nominee Tim Walls, the governor of Minnesota, and
none of it's good. Let's talk about it with columnist
Alex Chediac, who wrote a column called Tim Walls a
gift that keeps on giving. Alex, thank you so much
for agreeing to talk with us today. I roally appreciate
(06:44):
your time. Yeah, I was looking up stories about Tim
Walls and I came across yours. Tim Walls a gift
that will keep on giving. Now, that article could have
gone either way. Explain what you were writing.
Speaker 10 (07:00):
Yeah, I think it's a gift of the Trump campaign
because he's not centrist at all. I thought if Kamala
Harris had chosen somebody like Josh Sapiro in Pennsylvania or
Mark Kelly in Arizona, she would have had a much
better chance to reach out to a larger constituency. But
(07:22):
instead she kind of doubled down on progressive policies that
may be popular in her party but are probably not
popular with independence in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Not picking Josh Shapiro was so weird, and then making
the announcement in Philadelphia, and then he gets up and
gives a speech that wows the crowd and you could
tell the crowd had buyer's remorse immediately.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Was it because he's Jewish?
Speaker 10 (07:51):
I think that Harris is tied to the more anti
Israel wing of the Democratic Party. And that's part of
her wing, and so she couldn't go that way. I
also heard that maybe Shapiro was declining and kind of
respectfully saying he wasn't interested. I heard that as well.
So it's not totally clear, but I think she may
have feared also him upstaging her. I mean, he's so
(08:13):
good in those rust belt voters that he may have
outshown her. So to speak on the state in the
national state, Well, we.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Did learn one thing from the choice, and that is
she did not care at all about picking a moderate. This,
I think you can argue is the most progressive team
running for president and vice president ever.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (08:34):
Absolutely, And I think their strategy seems to be a
basement strategy. He hasn't any interviews, no press conferences, and
she seems to rely on rallies and friendly media and
surrogates to go make her case. And she only has
eighty nine eighty eight days or whatever left, and so
I think she's trying to minimize her exposure for gas
(08:55):
and just rely on the vibe, the positive vibe of
the first president, the first woman of color. And you
know that maybe she's doing okay. She's been just in
rising in the polls. I think she's relying on that.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
We're speaking with Alex Chediak, who wrote the article Tim
Walls a Gift that will keep on giving. You can
see it on stream dot org. What is stream dot org.
Speaker 10 (09:19):
By the way, It's a daily website that puts out
articles from a Christian perspective on the news, some faith
based articles, some just general news, cultural commentary, a variety
of things of that sort.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I think the more people learn about Tim Walls, the
less they're going to like him, because I don't think
most people know him. God explain, explain who he is.
Speaker 10 (09:45):
Yeah, I mean the background is he to have rural roots.
He did win in a Reddish district when he went
went to Congress. The military thing is is very strange.
I think that's going to come out very negatively for him.
He seems to have bailed in two thousand and five
from his National Guard duties, though he had committed to
additional service. He retired early. He had committed to go
(10:09):
into Iraq, but he didn't go to Iraq. He started
using a title that he didn't earn. He didn't fulfill
his obligations to earn that title. Then that title had
to be reversed formally and was essentially demoted at that point,
so that the stolen valor thing is coming out, and
that's really negative. He's using a title as if he
went into a combat zone. He didn't go into a
(10:30):
combat zone. And the good event did go to combat, oh.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Absolutely as a marine and and did actually fire his
gun when he was over there. So yeah, there's a
there's a big difference. It's it's the contrast is Stark
what does he stand for?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Well?
Speaker 10 (10:48):
As a governor, he's been extremely left wing. He was
a state he hit a sanctuary state for miners to
come into Minnesota to have sex change operations or to
puberty blockers or hormone therapy. He passed the bills putting
tampounds in boy's bathrooms from the grade four through twelve.
(11:08):
These are not very popular positions. He duringed the during
the COVID pandemic, he set up a snitch line, a
hotline where you could call and report what your neighbors
were doing. Your neighbors not walking their dog, you call in,
they're playing basketball, you call in. That hotline was monitored
by the police even after the stay at home order
had ended, So if COVID handling was terrible. The riots
(11:29):
that occurred in Minneapolis even worse. He told the command
post to stand down and give it up, give up
the third precinct, gave up that precinct entirely and let
it run to lawlessness and chaos. So it's very bad
for him in terms of how he handled crime crime
his way up in Minnesota. He tried raising taxes during
the pandemic, a lot of left wing things that I
(11:53):
don't think will play well in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin's mich a.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Right and through in the states that he's trying to
get in.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Uh. In Michigan, as you said, in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Uh,
there there is a very conservative strain that goes through there.
So I think the more you learn about about both
of them, they're going to have difficulty. That's why I'm
shocked that she didn't. She didn't take a moderate I
there's also this quote out there. Have you heard it
(12:23):
from his wife who left her windows open because she
wanted to She wanted to smell the smoke of the
fires during the riots.
Speaker 10 (12:31):
Yeah, It's it's almost like they feel they have to
sympathize with the rioters. And kind of it's kind of
this white guilt sort of thing of you know, we
want to be victims like like other races are. It's
just kind of cultural critical race theory kind of white guilt.
Let's feel bad and go ahead and burn the tires
(12:52):
and we'll endure the smell because that's that way we
kind of connect with you in your rage. But we're
afraid to go in there and actually bring a lot
law and order because now we're telling you that you
can't do something that you want to do, and you're outranged.
It's sort of this strange unwillingness to stand up for
a principle. Yeah, it's very very, very very odd. It's
(13:12):
hard to believe too. Who would let their windows open
and smell rubber? No one really does that, so it's
kind of a weird thing to say.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah, and she went out of her way to say that.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I want you know, there's a lot of bad stuff
coming out of at tim Walls, and that is Kamala
Harris and her team not vetting him properly because it
seems like as right now he's a disaster.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
Yeah, I don't think he's doing very well and I
don't think he'll debate well against Vance. I hope they
have a vice presidence of debate because Vance is a
very good debater, and I think that would be a
very informative, especially with a military background, and that's that's
a big deal with a lot of people that you
don't don't say something that's not true about yourself. So
that that's I think that residence with with voters of
all strands. Say what you mean and be what you say.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
You are very well put Professor Alex Chediac. You can
read more of his.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Stuff at Alex chediac chediak dot com. He's also got
a book called Thriving at College that's a good read
for parents who are sending their kids to college, or
have kids at college, or kids that are in college.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Alex, I really appreciate your time.
Speaker 10 (14:19):
Thanks for having me, Larry, appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Still to come Donald Trump and black voters. He was
making inroads against Joe Biden. But what about Kamala Harris.
We'll talk with Republican political consultant Reynard Jackson and also
ask him about the Project twenty twenty five controversy.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Here again is Larry Menti with the wr Saturday Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Welcome back.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
The Democrats believe Project twenty twenty five is so dangerous
that they have been using it to run against Donald
Trump and other Republicans. But I don't think most people
even know what Project twenty twenty five is. For more
on that, we you go to Washington political consultant Reynard Jackson. Reynard,
thanks so much for talking with us this morning. I
(15:06):
appreciate your time. Before we get to Project twenty twenty five,
what are your thoughts on the selection by Kamala Harris
of Tim Walls as a running mate.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I was stunned. I think as a total disaster. Here
you have the most liberal.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Ticket in the history of the US, one from California,
one from Minnesota. I think the Democrats can't win in November,
but Trump can lose.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Explain that if that makes sense to you.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
There's nothing in my view that the Democratic ticket of
Harris and Walls can do to win in November because
on the issue they don't have enough support among the
American people. Now, Trump, if he's not careful to stick
to the issue and stop going off on these tangents,
he can lose the race. So that's what I mean
(15:57):
when I say the Democrats cannot win it, but Trump
canluded by opening his mouth and getting off track.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Well, you know what.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I was going to ask one question on this, but
you're insisting on a couple of follow ups by your answers.
Donald Trump, are you talking about specifically when he answered
the question the Black Journalist's Convention that Kamala Harris once
ran as a in an Indian American but now, in
his words, became black.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, that's fastly true.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
I have videotaped from her campaign for Attorney General as
well as the past two years where she's then media interviews.
She said I'm Indian Americans. She did not say I'm
Indian and black or Indian in Jamaica.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
She ignored her black side so fastly. Trump did what
he said was true. But the issue is, Larry, we
don't need to get distracted. They have given us.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
So many issues of substance to attack them on. We
don't need to go down these rabbit holes.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
All right, Let's get to your article.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Now.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
You wrote an article about title twenty five where you
shared a conversation you had and just for context, I
will point out, because this isn't television. If people haven't
seen you. You are a black man and you were
having a conversation with another black man who is high
profile on the Democratic Party. Please share us what he
told you.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Uh yeah, that was that was interesting. I've gotten a
lot of feedback on that.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
Basically, he's a high level Democrat officers at the highest
levels of the party, and he was basically joking and
pulling my leg and giving me the business.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
About when are you Republicans gonna wake up?
Speaker 6 (17:34):
We keep planning a race card with you guys because
we know you all are too afraid to respond aggressively
and push back on especially when there's no evidence of it.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
So we keep throwing out racial fishes because we know.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
You all at a party that's gonna put your head
in the sands and allow us to beat you up
on it as opposed to push it back.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
And we started laughing about it because what he said
was actually true.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
And I've been criticizing our own party in and conversations
with party leaderships making the same point.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
But Conservatives and Republican are terrified on dealing with the
issue of race in any meaningful manner.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
By the way, you can read the article I was
just talking about at thy Blackman dot com, Thy Blackman
dot com, and we're talking this morning with political consultant
Reynard Jackson. Now in the article, he specifically started to
talk about Project twenty five before we get into that.
(18:34):
I don't think most people even know what Project twenty
five is. So before we start talking about it, please
explain title twenty five and what it does.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, Project twenty twenty five is very simple, Larry. This
is something the Heritage.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Found Foundation in Washington, DC, the preeminent conservative think tank
in the country, and they have been.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
For over fifty years.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Every president who cycles, says Ronald Reagan, they issue a blueprint.
This year is called twenty twenty five. For obvious reason.
The new president will.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Be sworn in in January of twenty twenty five, thus
the title.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
But it's basically a series of recommendations for the incoming
Republican administration on personnel issues, on abortion, on economic issue,
It's a whole plethora of conservative issues that we address
from a conservative perspective. It is not sanctioned by any
(19:33):
presidential campaign. It's not has no connection to a campaign
nor an income administration. Is a series of recommendations. Now
president since Reagan, all the way through Trump and twenty sixteen.
They've adopted some of these policies, they've ignored others, and
Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Is no different this year.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Whoever becomes president, well, Trump becomes president, he'll look at.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
That Project twenty twenty five. Some of the policies he'll adopt,
others he'll ignore. This has been going on for fifty
years now.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
He is disavowedant, even though I think that he would
be all four and I know these are in the
Republican platform, all for many of the things, school choice,
getting rid of the Green New Deal, the wall being
built along the border. It would seem like most of
this is a Republican dream. Why did Trump disavow it.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
He made a political decision that I disagree with that,
especially on the issue of abortion. Some of the policy
prescription on abortion and Project twenty twenty five. Trump feels
like it's too far to the right, and he's trying
to move to the center on the issue of abortion,
(20:49):
and therefore he decided to throw the Heritage Foundation in
Project twenty twenty five under the bus to score political
points with independent women to thinking behind it.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I totally disagree with it.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
The Heritage Foundation has been a good conservative ally and
partner for over fifty years, and I totally disagree with
the President's approach on this, But that's the lottic behind it.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
And the reason I bring it up is because in
your article on thy black Man dot com Thy Blackman
dot com, your friend specifically brought up Project twenty twenty
five as something to use against Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Right, yes, and it has.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Project twenty twenty five has zero to do.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
They did not go to Trump to get his permission
to do this. They have no affiliation with the campaign.
Yet a lot of people who wrote policy brief for
the document work in the Trump administration and have prise
to the Trump campaign and administration. But this document has
no formal connection to Trump the person or Trump the candidate.
(21:58):
And so I think, and I've talked to my friends
at the Heritage Foundation, I think the mistake Trump made
is trying to throw Heritage under the bus.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
The mistake the Heritage Foundation made, in.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
My view, is they have not pushed back on this
notion that is a racist documents authoritarian.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
That is Hitler line.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
They have not addictually, in my mind, pushed back on
it in the media and that's so it's almost like
the perfect storm, Larry, that Trump is doing doing what
he's doing.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
This is himself on the one hand.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Heritage is not responding aggressively enough on the other hand.
And now if you repeat a lot enough time, Larry,
it becomes the truth.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
And that's where the Heritage Foundation is.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Now, how do you change the thinking and the perception
of this document after you've been.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Cited for so long?
Speaker 6 (22:52):
And again that's what Hopefully it's gonna be more aggressive
going forward.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Thank you so much, Raynard. It was a pleasure. We'll
talk again, Seculary.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Of all the lies about Donald Trump, the ugliest is
that he is a racist. You see, because the Democrats
have nothing to run on, they need to make things
like that up. They can't run on the economy with
prices twenty percent higher than they were when Biden Harris
took office. They can't run on border security with a
record breaking number of illegals pouring across the border still
(23:25):
and spilling into communities like New York. They can't run
on foreign policy, with the embarrassment of the Afghanistan War,
the invasion of Ukraine, and a war in the Middle
East still exploding. So with the help of the media
and the Justice Department. They need to make Donald Trump
a criminal, a racist, a threat to democracy, all manipulated
(23:51):
and fabricated, and all with the media in tow. But
the ugliest of all those accusations is racism. That's why
I want to go back a couple of days ago
and deal with a Trump controversy about something he said
that the Democrats and their minions in the media pounced on.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only
promoting Indian heritage.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
I didn't know she was black.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
That was followed by immediate outrage in the media and
some outrageous accusations.
Speaker 12 (24:24):
I surely believe that he went with the intention of
showing himself and his hardest core right wing supporters that
he is fully ready to put black people in their place,
particularly black women.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
What how did she possibly get that from what Donald
Trump said, he was trying to put black people in
their place. Don't you get the feeling she was going
to say that no matter what she was asked. That
was Mara Gay from The New York Times on MSNBC
on the show hosted by Ali Veshi. That's a triple
(25:04):
dose of crazy. A triple dose of Trump derangement syndrome.
And God forbid anyone tried to defend Donald Trump's comments.
How dare the media? The media gods have already decided
on a narrative and you must now bow to it.
Congressman Byron Donald's a black man apparently didn't get the memo,
(25:27):
and ooh boy, did that make little Georgie Stephanopolis mad.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
I guess this is really a phony controversy. I don't
really care. Most people don't. But if we're gonna be accurate,
when Kamala Harris went into the United States Senate, it
was AP that says she was the first Indian American
United States senator. It was actually played up a lot
when she came into the Senate. Now she's running nationally,
obviously the campaign has shifted. They're talking much more about
about her father's heritage, of her black identity.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Now on this week with itsy bitsy George Stephanopolis, you
can't question the democratic narrative ever, or he goes on
the attack like a rabid chihuahuah. Down Georgie, down, boy.
See what Georgie and the rest of the media doesn't
(26:16):
understand is that Donald Trump was correct. When Kamala Harris
ran for the Senate seven years ago, she embraced the
fact that she was Indian.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
And certainly you could become the first Indian senator in
US history, which would quite an accomplishment.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Not and when she ran for president four years ago,
she was still running as an Indian American. But once
she became President Biden's vice president, she was the first
black vice president, even though President Biden apparently thought he
was also black. By the way, I'm proud to be,
(26:52):
as I said, the first vice president, first black woman
heard with a black president. And now she is running
to be the first black woman president. And when she
appears before a crowd of black Americans or in a
podcast with a dominantly black audience, well listen to how
(27:13):
she changes.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
I said to the congressman, I didn't know what he
could preach like that.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
All right, yeah, girl, I'm out here in these.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Streets and let me touch as they say they're not
like us. Can I get a witness?
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Didn't sound at all like the regular Kamala does it.
She changes who she is and what she is depending
on the situation and who she is around.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Kamala Harris is a chameleon. She goes to Georgia two
days ago. She was raised in Canada. She puts on
a fake Southern accent. She is everything to everybody, and
she priced it's to be somebody different depending on which
audience she's in front of.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
And it's important to understand that this isn't just Trump.
He was just echoing a conversation that is already being
discussed in the black community. Here's proof. A TV station
in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania went to a black barbershop and the
reporter asked a question that did not go where he expected.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
Is Kamala gonna make you a little more likely or
less likely to vote Democrats?
Speaker 12 (28:25):
Of course?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Great? Oh? No, right, it's Kamala black.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Guess or no, I'm gonna let her speak on that.
But to me, no, oh as.
Speaker 8 (28:34):
Black, I share that same view.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Wow, it's Kamla black. Yess. No, I heard she was.
Speaker 9 (28:41):
I heard she's half black, half Asian.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
It feels like she's black when she want to be.
That's I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
What Trump said was a debate that was already happening
in the black community. He was talking beyond the room.
He was talking to the neighborhoods Now, do I wish
he didn't say it that way? Yes, he must know
by now that the media is going to grab onto
that and ignore everything else. He says, it plays into
(29:11):
their ugly racist narrative. And I know Kamala is both
Indian American and Black American. And do I care that
she wears one or the other? Depending on the crowd
or the moment, I guess. I guess I care a little,
but not as much as I care that she is
changing her radical positions on single payer health insurance for all.
(29:32):
She wanted to defund the police, ban fracking, and promote
radical climate change proposals, and she wants to decriminalize crossing
the Southern border illegally. I would rather Trump focus solely
on that, but that's not Donald Trump, and he has
been very successful at being just Donald Trump. That wraps
(29:56):
up Saturday morning. As always, thanks so much for listening.
I'll be back Monday morning with Len Berman and Michael
Riedo in the morning. Have a great rest of your weekend.
This has been a podcast from wor
This is a podcast from wor Now the WOOR Saturday
Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Here's Larry Minty.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Good Saturday morning to you.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Coming up on today's show, Minnesota Governor Tim Walls, a
guy nobody outside of Minnesota new gets picked to be
Kamala Harris's running mate. We'll talk with columnist Alex Chediak,
who wrote a column Tim Walls is a gift that
will keep on giving and what is Project twenty twenty five.
(00:31):
The Democrats are using it to attack Republicans running for office.
So what is it and why is it so controversial?
We'll ask Washington based Republican political consultant Reynard Jackson. But
first a look back at the weeks it was. It
was Wall's week. On Monday, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris
(00:55):
introduced Minnesota Governor Tim Walls as her running mate, and
in ninety one.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Days the Nason will know coach Waltz by another name.
Vice President of the United States.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Kamala Harris was pressured by the far left in her
party to choose Walls, making them now together the most
liberal ticket ever to run for presidents. A few days
before Walls was picked, he was on a video call
with donors and was asked about his liberal record that
borders on socialism, and this is what he said.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Thank you, Madam Vice President, for the trust you put
in me, but maybe more so, thank you for bringing
back the joy.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Just ask the people in Venezuela if socialism is neighborly.
Nancy Pelosi has been in the media campaigning for the
Harris Wall's ticket, and she was asked if she was
the one who finally forced President Biden to step aside.
I wasn't asking him to step down.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
I was asking for a campaign that would win, and
I wasn't seeing that on the horizon.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
If you watch the video of this, Pelosi gives a
sly smile when asked the question. We'll have to wait
for the inevitable tell All book to find out what
really happened, But my money is on Pelosi as the
one who gave the final shove out the door. Will
there be a debate? Donald Trump says the debate he
(02:37):
agreed to with President Biden on ABC is now no
and void because President Biden's no longer in the race,
but he will debate Kamala on his terms.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
She doesn't do interviews because she can't answer questions. I
don't know how she debates. He hears she's sort of
a nasty person, but not good debater. But we'll see,
because we'll be debate, I guess in the pretty near future.
It's going to be announced fairly soon, but we'll be
debating her. I'd like to see it on Fox, by
the way. I would like to see it. My preference
(03:09):
would be Fox, But we have to debate.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
That was Wednesday. No word on a finalized debate yet,
but Trump sure made it seem that one is in
the offing. We shall see. And the most bizarre story
of the week, Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Junior
was the one who dropped the bear cub dead bear
(03:32):
cub in Central Park, solving a decade long crime.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
A music for whoever found it or something.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
There will be no charges filed. RFK, by the way,
says he found the bear on the road in upstate
New York and took it home and put it in
his freezer to eat. This is a strange story all around.
Speaking of strange, when is Kamala Harris going to find
only talked to the media since Biden stepped down, She's
(04:04):
answered no questions. She's had no press conferences, no sit
down interview, nothing, just teleprompter events. Jd Vance even walked
over to her plane and tried to ask her questions
himself since the media isn't doing its job.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Had a little bit of fun.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
I don't think the Vice president waived at me as
she drove away, but I'm glad to have done it.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Forget what the mainstream media keeps pushing about jd Vance.
He has been nothing but impressive on the campaign and
has been to the border. Unlike Kamala, the Buddhers are
and a story that is slowly getting a lot of attention.
The Democratic vice presidential nominee is being accused of stolen valor,
(04:49):
of embellishing his military service with the National Guard to
burnish his political career.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
He said, we shouldn't allow weapons that I used in
war to be on America's streets.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Well, I wondered, Tim Walts, when were you ever in war?
Speaker 8 (05:05):
When was this?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
What was this weapon that you carried into war?
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Given that you abandoned your unit right before they went
to Iraq and he has not spent a day in
a combat zone.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Sergeant Walls announced that he resigned from the National Guard
right after they got the orders to deploy to a
rock and then claimed in interviews that he saw war.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
The story is not going away.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
And Donald Trump holds a news conference where he challenges
Kamala to three debates.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I think it's very important to have debates.
Speaker 9 (05:38):
And we've agreed with Fox on a date of September fourth.
We've agreed with NBC fairly full agreement, subject to them
on September tenth, and we've agreed with ABC on September
twenty fifth.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
That news conference and debate challenge is brilliant as it's
drawing Kamala out of her metaphorical basement.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
And that's the week that was still to come.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Is Tim Walls the gift that will keep on giving
for Republicans? Columnist Alex Chediac thinks, so we'll talk with
him next.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Now, more of the woor Saturday Morning Show and Larry Minty.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Oh my, there's a whole lot coming out about Democratic
vice presidential nominee Tim Walls, the governor of Minnesota, and
none of it's good. Let's talk about it with columnist
Alex Chediac, who wrote a column called Tim Walls a
gift that keeps on giving. Alex, thank you so much
for agreeing to talk with us today. I roally appreciate
(06:44):
your time. Yeah, I was looking up stories about Tim
Walls and I came across yours. Tim Walls a gift
that will keep on giving. Now, that article could have
gone either way. Explain what you were writing.
Speaker 10 (07:00):
Yeah, I think it's a gift of the Trump campaign
because he's not centrist at all. I thought if Kamala
Harris had chosen somebody like Josh Sapiro in Pennsylvania or
Mark Kelly in Arizona, she would have had a much
better chance to reach out to a larger constituency. But
(07:22):
instead she kind of doubled down on progressive policies that
may be popular in her party but are probably not
popular with independence in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Not picking Josh Shapiro was so weird, and then making
the announcement in Philadelphia, and then he gets up and
gives a speech that wows the crowd and you could
tell the crowd had buyer's remorse immediately.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Was it because he's Jewish?
Speaker 10 (07:51):
I think that Harris is tied to the more anti
Israel wing of the Democratic Party. And that's part of
her wing, and so she couldn't go that way. I
also heard that maybe Shapiro was declining and kind of
respectfully saying he wasn't interested. I heard that as well.
So it's not totally clear, but I think she may
have feared also him upstaging her. I mean, he's so
(08:13):
good in those rust belt voters that he may have
outshown her. So to speak on the state in the
national state, Well, we.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Did learn one thing from the choice, and that is
she did not care at all about picking a moderate. This,
I think you can argue is the most progressive team
running for president and vice president ever.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (08:34):
Absolutely, And I think their strategy seems to be a
basement strategy. He hasn't any interviews, no press conferences, and
she seems to rely on rallies and friendly media and
surrogates to go make her case. And she only has
eighty nine eighty eight days or whatever left, and so
I think she's trying to minimize her exposure for gas
(08:55):
and just rely on the vibe, the positive vibe of
the first president, the first woman of color. And you
know that maybe she's doing okay. She's been just in
rising in the polls. I think she's relying on that.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
We're speaking with Alex Chediak, who wrote the article Tim
Walls a Gift that will keep on giving. You can
see it on stream dot org. What is stream dot org.
Speaker 10 (09:19):
By the way, It's a daily website that puts out
articles from a Christian perspective on the news, some faith
based articles, some just general news, cultural commentary, a variety
of things of that sort.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I think the more people learn about Tim Walls, the
less they're going to like him, because I don't think
most people know him. God explain, explain who he is.
Speaker 10 (09:45):
Yeah, I mean the background is he to have rural roots.
He did win in a Reddish district when he went
went to Congress. The military thing is is very strange.
I think that's going to come out very negatively for him.
He seems to have bailed in two thousand and five
from his National Guard duties, though he had committed to
additional service. He retired early. He had committed to go
(10:09):
into Iraq, but he didn't go to Iraq. He started
using a title that he didn't earn. He didn't fulfill
his obligations to earn that title. Then that title had
to be reversed formally and was essentially demoted at that point,
so that the stolen valor thing is coming out, and
that's really negative. He's using a title as if he
went into a combat zone. He didn't go into a
(10:30):
combat zone. And the good event did go to combat, oh.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Absolutely as a marine and and did actually fire his
gun when he was over there. So yeah, there's a
there's a big difference. It's it's the contrast is Stark
what does he stand for?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Well?
Speaker 10 (10:48):
As a governor, he's been extremely left wing. He was
a state he hit a sanctuary state for miners to
come into Minnesota to have sex change operations or to
puberty blockers or hormone therapy. He passed the bills putting
tampounds in boy's bathrooms from the grade four through twelve.
(11:08):
These are not very popular positions. He duringed the during
the COVID pandemic, he set up a snitch line, a
hotline where you could call and report what your neighbors
were doing. Your neighbors not walking their dog, you call in,
they're playing basketball, you call in. That hotline was monitored
by the police even after the stay at home order
had ended, So if COVID handling was terrible. The riots
(11:29):
that occurred in Minneapolis even worse. He told the command
post to stand down and give it up, give up
the third precinct, gave up that precinct entirely and let
it run to lawlessness and chaos. So it's very bad
for him in terms of how he handled crime crime
his way up in Minnesota. He tried raising taxes during
the pandemic, a lot of left wing things that I
(11:53):
don't think will play well in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin's mich a.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Right and through in the states that he's trying to
get in.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Uh. In Michigan, as you said, in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Uh,
there there is a very conservative strain that goes through there.
So I think the more you learn about about both
of them, they're going to have difficulty. That's why I'm
shocked that she didn't. She didn't take a moderate I
there's also this quote out there. Have you heard it
(12:23):
from his wife who left her windows open because she
wanted to She wanted to smell the smoke of the
fires during the riots.
Speaker 10 (12:31):
Yeah, It's it's almost like they feel they have to
sympathize with the rioters. And kind of it's kind of
this white guilt sort of thing of you know, we
want to be victims like like other races are. It's
just kind of cultural critical race theory kind of white guilt.
Let's feel bad and go ahead and burn the tires
(12:52):
and we'll endure the smell because that's that way we
kind of connect with you in your rage. But we're
afraid to go in there and actually bring a lot
law and order because now we're telling you that you
can't do something that you want to do, and you're outranged.
It's sort of this strange unwillingness to stand up for
a principle. Yeah, it's very very, very very odd. It's
(13:12):
hard to believe too. Who would let their windows open
and smell rubber? No one really does that, so it's
kind of a weird thing to say.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah, and she went out of her way to say that.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I want you know, there's a lot of bad stuff
coming out of at tim Walls, and that is Kamala
Harris and her team not vetting him properly because it
seems like as right now he's a disaster.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
Yeah, I don't think he's doing very well and I
don't think he'll debate well against Vance. I hope they
have a vice presidence of debate because Vance is a
very good debater, and I think that would be a
very informative, especially with a military background, and that's that's
a big deal with a lot of people that you
don't don't say something that's not true about yourself. So
that that's I think that residence with with voters of
all strands. Say what you mean and be what you say.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
You are very well put Professor Alex Chediac. You can
read more of his.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Stuff at Alex chediac chediak dot com. He's also got
a book called Thriving at College that's a good read
for parents who are sending their kids to college, or
have kids at college, or kids that are in college.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Alex, I really appreciate your time.
Speaker 10 (14:19):
Thanks for having me, Larry, appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Still to come Donald Trump and black voters. He was
making inroads against Joe Biden. But what about Kamala Harris.
We'll talk with Republican political consultant Reynard Jackson and also
ask him about the Project twenty twenty five controversy.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Here again is Larry Menti with the wr Saturday Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Welcome back.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
The Democrats believe Project twenty twenty five is so dangerous
that they have been using it to run against Donald
Trump and other Republicans. But I don't think most people
even know what Project twenty twenty five is. For more
on that, we you go to Washington political consultant Reynard Jackson. Reynard,
thanks so much for talking with us this morning. I
(15:06):
appreciate your time. Before we get to Project twenty twenty five,
what are your thoughts on the selection by Kamala Harris
of Tim Walls as a running mate.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I was stunned. I think as a total disaster. Here
you have the most liberal.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Ticket in the history of the US, one from California,
one from Minnesota. I think the Democrats can't win in November,
but Trump can lose.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Explain that if that makes sense to you.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
There's nothing in my view that the Democratic ticket of
Harris and Walls can do to win in November because
on the issue they don't have enough support among the
American people. Now, Trump, if he's not careful to stick
to the issue and stop going off on these tangents,
he can lose the race. So that's what I mean
(15:57):
when I say the Democrats cannot win it, but Trump
canluded by opening his mouth and getting off track.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Well, you know what.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I was going to ask one question on this, but
you're insisting on a couple of follow ups by your answers.
Donald Trump, are you talking about specifically when he answered
the question the Black Journalist's Convention that Kamala Harris once
ran as a in an Indian American but now, in
his words, became black.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, that's fastly true.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
I have videotaped from her campaign for Attorney General as
well as the past two years where she's then media interviews.
She said I'm Indian Americans. She did not say I'm
Indian and black or Indian in Jamaica.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
She ignored her black side so fastly. Trump did what
he said was true. But the issue is, Larry, we
don't need to get distracted. They have given us.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
So many issues of substance to attack them on. We
don't need to go down these rabbit holes.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
All right, Let's get to your article.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Now.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
You wrote an article about title twenty five where you
shared a conversation you had and just for context, I
will point out, because this isn't television. If people haven't
seen you. You are a black man and you were
having a conversation with another black man who is high
profile on the Democratic Party. Please share us what he
told you.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Uh yeah, that was that was interesting. I've gotten a
lot of feedback on that.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
Basically, he's a high level Democrat officers at the highest
levels of the party, and he was basically joking and
pulling my leg and giving me the business.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
About when are you Republicans gonna wake up?
Speaker 6 (17:34):
We keep planning a race card with you guys because
we know you all are too afraid to respond aggressively
and push back on especially when there's no evidence of it.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
So we keep throwing out racial fishes because we know.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
You all at a party that's gonna put your head
in the sands and allow us to beat you up
on it as opposed to push it back.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
And we started laughing about it because what he said
was actually true.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
And I've been criticizing our own party in and conversations
with party leaderships making the same point.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
But Conservatives and Republican are terrified on dealing with the
issue of race in any meaningful manner.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
By the way, you can read the article I was
just talking about at thy Blackman dot com, Thy Blackman
dot com, and we're talking this morning with political consultant
Reynard Jackson. Now in the article, he specifically started to
talk about Project twenty five before we get into that.
(18:34):
I don't think most people even know what Project twenty
five is. So before we start talking about it, please
explain title twenty five and what it does.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, Project twenty twenty five is very simple, Larry. This
is something the Heritage.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Found Foundation in Washington, DC, the preeminent conservative think tank
in the country, and they have been.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
For over fifty years.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Every president who cycles, says Ronald Reagan, they issue a blueprint.
This year is called twenty twenty five. For obvious reason.
The new president will.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Be sworn in in January of twenty twenty five, thus
the title.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
But it's basically a series of recommendations for the incoming
Republican administration on personnel issues, on abortion, on economic issue,
It's a whole plethora of conservative issues that we address
from a conservative perspective. It is not sanctioned by any
(19:33):
presidential campaign. It's not has no connection to a campaign
nor an income administration. Is a series of recommendations. Now
president since Reagan, all the way through Trump and twenty sixteen.
They've adopted some of these policies, they've ignored others, and
Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Is no different this year.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Whoever becomes president, well, Trump becomes president, he'll look at.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
That Project twenty twenty five. Some of the policies he'll adopt,
others he'll ignore. This has been going on for fifty
years now.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
He is disavowedant, even though I think that he would
be all four and I know these are in the
Republican platform, all for many of the things, school choice,
getting rid of the Green New Deal, the wall being
built along the border. It would seem like most of
this is a Republican dream. Why did Trump disavow it.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
He made a political decision that I disagree with that,
especially on the issue of abortion. Some of the policy
prescription on abortion and Project twenty twenty five. Trump feels
like it's too far to the right, and he's trying
to move to the center on the issue of abortion,
(20:49):
and therefore he decided to throw the Heritage Foundation in
Project twenty twenty five under the bus to score political
points with independent women to thinking behind it.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I totally disagree with it.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
The Heritage Foundation has been a good conservative ally and
partner for over fifty years, and I totally disagree with
the President's approach on this, But that's the lottic behind it.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
And the reason I bring it up is because in
your article on thy black Man dot com Thy Blackman
dot com, your friend specifically brought up Project twenty twenty
five as something to use against Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Right, yes, and it has.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Project twenty twenty five has zero to do.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
They did not go to Trump to get his permission
to do this. They have no affiliation with the campaign.
Yet a lot of people who wrote policy brief for
the document work in the Trump administration and have prise
to the Trump campaign and administration. But this document has
no formal connection to Trump the person or Trump the candidate.
(21:58):
And so I think, and I've talked to my friends
at the Heritage Foundation, I think the mistake Trump made
is trying to throw Heritage under the bus.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
The mistake the Heritage Foundation made, in.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
My view, is they have not pushed back on this
notion that is a racist documents authoritarian.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
That is Hitler line.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
They have not addictually, in my mind, pushed back on
it in the media and that's so it's almost like
the perfect storm, Larry, that Trump is doing doing what
he's doing.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
This is himself on the one hand.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Heritage is not responding aggressively enough on the other hand.
And now if you repeat a lot enough time, Larry,
it becomes the truth.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
And that's where the Heritage Foundation is.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Now, how do you change the thinking and the perception
of this document after you've been.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Cited for so long?
Speaker 6 (22:52):
And again that's what Hopefully it's gonna be more aggressive
going forward.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Thank you so much, Raynard. It was a pleasure. We'll
talk again, Seculary.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Of all the lies about Donald Trump, the ugliest is
that he is a racist. You see, because the Democrats
have nothing to run on, they need to make things
like that up. They can't run on the economy with
prices twenty percent higher than they were when Biden Harris
took office. They can't run on border security with a
record breaking number of illegals pouring across the border still
(23:25):
and spilling into communities like New York. They can't run
on foreign policy, with the embarrassment of the Afghanistan War,
the invasion of Ukraine, and a war in the Middle
East still exploding. So with the help of the media
and the Justice Department. They need to make Donald Trump
a criminal, a racist, a threat to democracy, all manipulated
(23:51):
and fabricated, and all with the media in tow. But
the ugliest of all those accusations is racism. That's why
I want to go back a couple of days ago
and deal with a Trump controversy about something he said
that the Democrats and their minions in the media pounced on.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only
promoting Indian heritage.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
I didn't know she was black.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
That was followed by immediate outrage in the media and
some outrageous accusations.
Speaker 12 (24:24):
I surely believe that he went with the intention of
showing himself and his hardest core right wing supporters that
he is fully ready to put black people in their place,
particularly black women.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
What how did she possibly get that from what Donald
Trump said, he was trying to put black people in
their place. Don't you get the feeling she was going
to say that no matter what she was asked. That
was Mara Gay from The New York Times on MSNBC
on the show hosted by Ali Veshi. That's a triple
(25:04):
dose of crazy. A triple dose of Trump derangement syndrome.
And God forbid anyone tried to defend Donald Trump's comments.
How dare the media? The media gods have already decided
on a narrative and you must now bow to it.
Congressman Byron Donald's a black man apparently didn't get the memo,
(25:27):
and ooh boy, did that make little Georgie Stephanopolis mad.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
I guess this is really a phony controversy. I don't
really care. Most people don't. But if we're gonna be accurate,
when Kamala Harris went into the United States Senate, it
was AP that says she was the first Indian American
United States senator. It was actually played up a lot
when she came into the Senate. Now she's running nationally,
obviously the campaign has shifted. They're talking much more about
about her father's heritage, of her black identity.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Now on this week with itsy bitsy George Stephanopolis, you
can't question the democratic narrative ever, or he goes on
the attack like a rabid chihuahuah. Down Georgie, down, boy.
See what Georgie and the rest of the media doesn't
(26:16):
understand is that Donald Trump was correct. When Kamala Harris
ran for the Senate seven years ago, she embraced the
fact that she was Indian.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
And certainly you could become the first Indian senator in
US history, which would quite an accomplishment.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Not and when she ran for president four years ago,
she was still running as an Indian American. But once
she became President Biden's vice president, she was the first
black vice president, even though President Biden apparently thought he
was also black. By the way, I'm proud to be,
(26:52):
as I said, the first vice president, first black woman
heard with a black president. And now she is running
to be the first black woman president. And when she
appears before a crowd of black Americans or in a
podcast with a dominantly black audience, well listen to how
(27:13):
she changes.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
I said to the congressman, I didn't know what he
could preach like that.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
All right, yeah, girl, I'm out here in these.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Streets and let me touch as they say they're not
like us. Can I get a witness?
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Didn't sound at all like the regular Kamala does it.
She changes who she is and what she is depending
on the situation and who she is around.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Kamala Harris is a chameleon. She goes to Georgia two
days ago. She was raised in Canada. She puts on
a fake Southern accent. She is everything to everybody, and
she priced it's to be somebody different depending on which
audience she's in front of.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
And it's important to understand that this isn't just Trump.
He was just echoing a conversation that is already being
discussed in the black community. Here's proof. A TV station
in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania went to a black barbershop and the
reporter asked a question that did not go where he expected.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
Is Kamala gonna make you a little more likely or
less likely to vote Democrats?
Speaker 12 (28:25):
Of course?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Great? Oh? No, right, it's Kamala black.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Guess or no, I'm gonna let her speak on that.
But to me, no, oh as.
Speaker 8 (28:34):
Black, I share that same view.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Wow, it's Kamla black. Yess. No, I heard she was.
Speaker 9 (28:41):
I heard she's half black, half Asian.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
It feels like she's black when she want to be.
That's I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
What Trump said was a debate that was already happening
in the black community. He was talking beyond the room.
He was talking to the neighborhoods Now, do I wish
he didn't say it that way? Yes, he must know
by now that the media is going to grab onto
that and ignore everything else. He says, it plays into
(29:11):
their ugly racist narrative. And I know Kamala is both
Indian American and Black American. And do I care that
she wears one or the other? Depending on the crowd
or the moment, I guess. I guess I care a little,
but not as much as I care that she is
changing her radical positions on single payer health insurance for all.
(29:32):
She wanted to defund the police, ban fracking, and promote
radical climate change proposals, and she wants to decriminalize crossing
the Southern border illegally. I would rather Trump focus solely
on that, but that's not Donald Trump, and he has
been very successful at being just Donald Trump. That wraps
(29:56):
up Saturday morning. As always, thanks so much for listening.
I'll be back Monday morning with Len Berman and Michael
Riedo in the morning. Have a great rest of your weekend.
