Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. The ladies won the gold yesterday
and Simone Biles posted a picture saying something like, oh,
just a bunch of lazy people who lack work ethic
winning the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And I'm paraphrasing because that was so.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
That was a shot at former teammate Michayla Skinner, who
had said at the time that the talent there would
have been a drop off in talent on the women's team,
and so Simone Biles, being the consummate teammate and professional,
decided to take a swipe at her when they won.
(00:44):
And now Simone Bile says she's been blocked after taking
that shot. My goodness, I've got an update on the
pommel horse guy.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
He's now being called Google guy.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, Google, yeah, instead of goggles. Uh yeah, no.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
No, no again.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
You're trying to get in on my Google thing, right,
and you have no business.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
You don't want any of this.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I do not want any of that. Smoked.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
He's now being called the Clark Kent of Men's Day.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Last day, I'm the one who said Clark Kent. I
said Clark Kent. Oh, Clark Kent glasses.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
You did a couple of times, so.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You started this. His parents are now reacting Stephen Nedoro
sick netarosic. Excuse me.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
It should be a household name now, shouldn't it.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
He has earned that nickname after he took off his
glasses and helped the men's team win their first medal
in sixteen years. His mother, Cheryl, says he has never
worn his glasses will competing, so they're used to seeing
him take them off before he performs. She added that
his coach at Penn State decided Stephen would be a
pommel horse specialist after recruiting him. He will be competing
(01:55):
for an individual medal in the pommel horse on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
We were talking earlier about this new artificial intelligence friend
thing that you can get, can't wear around your neck
and talk to it and it'll send you text messages.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Fine, awful idea.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
This is Robert up here at Mount Shasta. Yeah, the
whole loneliness thing, it's I don't even know I will.
I don't need AI, you know, I kind of look
at you guys as my friends, you know, you're there
every morning.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
You make me laugh.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Thank you keep me company and uh it's getting me
by so thanks for that.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I appreciate you. Guys.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
We appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Have a good day you too.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Out of the fire, Mount Shasta, Mount Shasta, beautiful part
of the day, just gorgeous.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Hey, guys, it's pronounced try ath lawn, not try ath
a lawn. You're dying a bunch of people who are
so sticklers for driver license versus driver's license. Where's Crystal
Little when you need them to correct your pronunciation triathlon athlon?
(03:07):
You know?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Where is Chris Little when we need yet?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Not even wait?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
There is nobody here today. Have you guys noticed that
it's just.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Nobody's coming in today because I mean Wednesday?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Well, okay, so this is something fun.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So there's a there's a whole area near where our
office is, and it's filled with cubicles for people who
don't really work with us. They work in other I
don't even know what they do. Let's be let's be real.
I have no idea what their office. They work for,
like a radio network somewhere. I don't know they anyway,
we have no idea who these people are. And they change,
(03:50):
They change from day to day.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Tuesdays they're one person, I mean, one group of people,
and then the other days they're different groups of people.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I guess you could just call it like a shared workspace,
But they're not here every day some days, and many
days we come in and there's nobody there. Not anybody
is there, and I don't know why. Just for so
long that has been a ghost town over there. It's
only recently that they's been a shared workspace. This morning,
(04:20):
I walk in and I see Jacob in the hallway
and we start doing some jokes and they're not clean.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
They're not clean, Yes, they're not.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
And I was rounding the corner as I'm yelling something
back at Jacob in the hallway, and I round the
corner as the words are leaving my lips, and there's
a whole slew of strangers that heard what I said,
and I'm wondering.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Hello, everybody, I'm Amy King.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I totally should have done that. I've done that before
and I'll do it again. But I was wondering if
I did, and I probably did offend several people, how
would that work out for HR? Since it's a shared workspace,
they're not my they're not my colleagues, they don't work
for the same company.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Really, it would.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Find its way to you. What is it?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Is it a problem for me parent company? Or am
I in a safe harbor because I don't even know
who these people are.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Good news is they don't know who you are.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
True that you've true told everybody on the air, though
they'll they'll be able to find you.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
So you think they're listening to this show.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Let's get into swamp watch.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Swamp is horrible.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
The government doesn't work.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Man gonna make.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
This like a reality TV show.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Bad news.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, DC.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Hey, Joe, a town hall too, clearly built on a
swamp and in so many ways still a swamp.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
I watch. Nobody said drained the swamp? I said, Oh,
that's so hope.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
You know the thing, although it would be funny if
this show is currently being played on the speakers know well,
we know kind of what the style is going to
look like for the next ninety five days. As we
get closer to November fifth, election day, Vice President Kamala
Harris held an election held a campaign rally in Atlanta,
(06:14):
Georgia yesterday.
Speaker 8 (06:15):
So the momentum in this race is shifting, and there
are signs that Donald Trump is feeling it.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
You may have noticed.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
So last week you may have seen he pulled out
of the debate in September he had previously agreed to.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
So so here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Here's the funny thing about that. Here's the funny thing
about that.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
So he won't to be.
Speaker 8 (06:53):
But he and his running mate should seemed to have
a lot to say about me. And by the way,
don't you find some of their stuff to just be
plain weird?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Okay, that gets back to a weird part of the thing.
Here's her big line. She's gonna use She's gonna use
this over and over again.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
Well, Donald, Okay, I do hope you'll reconsider to meet
me on the debate stage.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I try to cut out some of the applause.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
Because, as the saying goes, if you've got something to say.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Well, and she's got the Georgia crowd and the Georgia
accent going on a little bit there. The juxtaposition between
the energy at her events versus Biden's events is night
and freaking day.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah, And that's the other thing that's incredibly noticeable about
this that momentum is a real thing.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Whether you like her or not, that's momentum.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
That's the sound of people being excited about the Democrat
nominee presumptive.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Now does it last? I don't know. We'll see.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Let me throw this in there the way she says Donald.
You know, her father's name is Donald. She comes from
a broken home. Her mom had sole custody of her
and her daughter, her and her sister, starting off when
I believe Kamala was eight and her sister was six.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Dad was not very involved.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I don't think a little bit of twang in the name.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
A little bit of yeah, there's a little spark that
comes out of her tongue when.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
She's maybe I don't know, maybe they have a great relationship,
but I know that that was definitely the case, and
that is his name.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
We do expect President Trump to be speaking at the
National Association of Black Journalists. There are three moderators on
the stage, one from Semaphore, one from ABC News, and
one from Fox.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
So we may be able to dip into a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, let's do that because he's they've gotten a lot
of backlash for having him there. But now that I
see there are three moderators. They may be grilling him.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Yeah, at least two of them will.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Fir Wackner on Fox is not going to grill him.
But the other two Mike.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Who signed off on this, who in the Trump campaign
thought that this was going to be a good move.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
This is a disaster.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
President Trump right now has taken the stage in Chicago
at the National Association of Black Journalists.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
There's three moderators and they're questioning him and it's going
very poorly.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
The moderators are Rachel Scott from ABC News. She was
the one who asked questions first. Right now, Harris Faulkner
has been talking, but also Kadia Goba from Semaphors on sing.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
He is stepping in it.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
He's saying things like I didn't even know Kamala was black.
I thought she was like she's Oh my goodness. All
the wrong things are being said.
Speaker 9 (09:41):
People are coming into our country and they're taking black
jobs and Hispanic jobs, and frankly, they're taking union jobs.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
Unions are being.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
Very badly affected by all of the millions of people
that are pouring into our country.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
And one thing has as.
Speaker 9 (09:55):
We discussed, many of these people are coming in from
mental institutions from from jails, their gang members, and other countries.
Other countries are setting loose their prisoners.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
They're opening up their prisons.
Speaker 9 (10:08):
And their mental institutions, and they're taking their bad people,
drug dealers, gang members, and they're bringing them into the
United States. And by the way, their crime rate is
going down, and our crime rate is going to be
a disaster.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
President.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
I want to get into how you address some of
the issues with black communities. And I say that plural
because we live in communities of color that are different.
We're not all the same, we don't vote the same,
we don't think the strinth.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
It's not monolithic.
Speaker 10 (10:37):
So as you come here today, I want to talk
about something that burfs and this is the weight of
the inflation on this country right now. The nonprofit Money
Management International recently released data from its mid year analysis
that we have found a fifty two percent rise in
people who are seeking counseling for being in credit debt.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
They're paying for.
Speaker 10 (11:01):
Food that is sky high on their credit cards and
now they can't pay that off. The credit counseling nonprofit MMI,
as I said, is saying now that they've seen surges
that they haven't seen since we were in a pandemic
of people in financial trouble. Much of that falls on
the shoulders of single moms, single black moms. When you
(11:21):
look statistically, how do you turn it around? What's your
plan for the black community when it comes to money.
Speaker 9 (11:27):
So, first of all, it's very hard to hear you
for whatever reason, because of the fact that they have
bad equipment, because I guess this woman was unable to
get the right equipment. But it's very hard for me
to hear you, but I can hear every other word.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
It's very difficult, actually, But so I.
Speaker 9 (11:42):
Don't know if they can fix it or do something
with it, but I'll do the best I.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Can with it.
Speaker 9 (11:48):
The inflation is absolutely destroying our middle class, our working class,
virtually every class. Inflation is a disaster in our country.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Inflation turned it around, it started off well again. And
we'll get the audio.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
This is Harris Faulkner from Fox News who's interviewing, and
she's she's been a fan of his for a long time.
It was Rachel Scott from ABC that was the first questioner. Yeah,
that we didn't hear the introduction, but he immediately said,
what an awful introduction, Why would you say that about me?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
And then she asked about.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Whether he believes that Kamala Harris was a dei hire,
saying it as a derogatory thing, and he didn't answer
the question. All he had to do was say, Joe
Biden said that he was going to pick a woman
of color and then chose Kamala Harris.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
The question was do you think that she was named
just because she's a black woman? And he starts to say,
I didn't even know she was black, right, And it
was just kind of touching on things that you don't
touch on in certain places.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
He doesn't care there's no third rail.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He doesn't understand that. That's kind of a well, he's
been a topic of conversation about people who pass as
white or black or what have you. He has no
idea about that entire conversation.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
In that room. That's a that's a hard uh.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Would you say it's a hard vote for him to
He doesn't get a vote in that one anyway.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It's who's signed off on this.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I am recording it, so so we'll go back and
play for you some of the highlights.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
If he sticks to inflation and his talking points, there,
You're gonna be fine because that's the thing that's a
great unifier. Right, We're all paying these ridiculous prices and
we want them to go away. And what are you
going to do about businesses that are taking advantage and
exploiting the inflation that we've had, where maybe they're distributors
or distributors or things, the costs have come down, but
(13:45):
they're keeping them elevated.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
What about that aspect too?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
And I mean to her point, to hers Faulkner's point
there about this in it in are disproportionately affects those
communities of color, to use her term, I will point
out the National Association a Black Journalist co chair and
Washington Post columnist Karen Atia, announced that she had stepped
down from her position at the convention after the announcement
(14:10):
that the former president was going to come and address
the group.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
But if this is what they were going to do,
just question him. What's the harm in that. It's not
like they're giving him the stage. That's what I thought.
I thought he was going to be a speaker, just
speak and just speak. That's not what this is. This
is And maybe they shifted, maybe they pivoted after the
backlash to this format.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
That could have quite We'll see how long it goes.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, uh okay, Former president guys, this is to me,
this is funny. Former President Trump is speaking before a
panel at the National Association of Black Journalists and Annual
Convention and Career Fair in Chicago. He's already complained that
they were thirty five minutes late. He's complained about the
audio equipment because he can't hear the moderators, which is
(14:53):
weird because they're sitting on stage with him, and one
of the Rachel Harris from ABC News, had said something,
could we stay on topic because we only have a
short time, and he immediately fires back, Yeah, well we
started thirty five minutes late.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I mean, it's really good.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
He had my endorsement that helped.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
They're asking specifically about Janie Vance right.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
Now to the United States.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
So he's a United States Center so and so Harris like,
I respect you for your success. I respect people for
their success.
Speaker 10 (15:24):
The reason I asked the question is because the last
time you and I sat and talked was the day
that you were shot. We've been together for much of
that day. You left to go to Butler, Pennsylvania, and
we didn't know what was next.
Speaker 9 (15:37):
And two days after that, I cannot understand your microphone.
Speaker 10 (15:41):
I know it is really hard for me.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
And I can understand you perfectly.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
I can understand, but I can't understand Harris because of
the distance and the mics are really in lousy shape.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
But I cannot understand what you're saying.
Speaker 10 (15:59):
So what I want to say was, the last time
we spoke, you said some words that were prophetic because
I asked you who you wanted to choose for vice president,
and you said, normally it really wouldn't matter what they
would bring. You know, you choose somebody that you think
has a future, that sort of thing. But you said
these words three and a half hours before an attempted
(16:21):
assassination on your life. You told me that bad things happen, Harris,
and that's why this decision is important this time, bad
things happen. You said it twice. When you look at
jd Vance, is he ready on day one?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Interesting?
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Does he what ready on day one?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
If he has to be.
Speaker 9 (16:40):
I've always had great respect for him and for the
other candidates too, But I will say this, and I
think this is well documented. Historically, the vice president in
terms of the election does not have any impact. I
mean virtually no impact. You have two or three days
where there's a.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Lot that's not the question, right, but maybe I can
hear a.
Speaker 9 (17:00):
Democrat side who it's going to be, and then that
dies down and it's all about the presidential pick.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Virtually never has it mattered.
Speaker 9 (17:09):
Maybe lived In Johnson mattered for different reasons of what
we're talking about, not for vote reasons, but for political reasons,
other political reasons. But historically the choice of a vice
president makes no difference.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
You're voting for the.
Speaker 9 (17:22):
President, and you can have a vice president who's outstanding
in every way, and I think jd is I think
that all of them would have been.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
But you're not voting that way.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
You're voting for the president. You're voting for me. If
you like me, I'm gonna win. If you don't like me,
I'm not gonna win.
Speaker 11 (17:38):
I'm going to get my jd Vance question in jd Vance.
I'm going to get my jd Vance question in. To
your point and to Rachel's point.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
He this is kind of semaphore.
Speaker 11 (17:50):
Childish women like myself or divorce people like yourself.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Do you think, well, it's true?
Speaker 7 (17:59):
Said in a friendly manner.
Speaker 11 (18:01):
My point is, do you think the party, the Republican Party,
is getting a little bit too judgy about people's lives
when you think about abortion, or when you think about
what jd.
Speaker 7 (18:12):
Vance is saying. I don't think.
Speaker 9 (18:14):
Look, I think that the Democrat Party is really the
one that has the problem. I think they're radical on
abortion because they're allowing abortion in the ninth month that
is not.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
A baby after the baby is born.
Speaker 12 (18:29):
Basically, that is not Governor of Virginia.
Speaker 9 (18:33):
Based on the Governor of Virginia. They're allowing the death
of the baby after it's born. They're allowing abortions in
the eighth and ninth month.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
We Democrats, I.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
Think they are, and I think the Republican Party is
actually much lesser. I think I've made them much less radical, perhaps,
but the Republican Party, what we're doing is bringing it
back to the States where everybody wanted it. Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives,
everybody wanted abortion brought back.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
They didn't want Roe v. Wade in the federal government.
They wanted it.
Speaker 13 (19:03):
Everybody but the Americans opposed.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
They don't know about this right now, they're voting it.
Brought it back to the states.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Now.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
I happen to believe in the three exceptions.
Speaker 9 (19:14):
Ronald Reagan believed with rape, incest, Life of the Mother,
I do.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
I think most people do.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
I think most Republicans do also. But if you take
a look right now they're doing, it's an amazing thing
out of the federal government.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
It's in states and people are voting.
Speaker 9 (19:31):
And I will say, Ohio is let's call it a
more liberal version has been approved Kansas the same thing.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
A little bit surprising to a.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
Lot of people, but the people are now voting, and
it's taking this issue that's been going on for fifty
two years and has torn our country apart, and it's
giving it to the people to vote on and they're voting,
and many states have already voted, others are in the
process of voting, and it's bringing back to the people
(20:00):
and a vote of the people. And it's not at
all radical. And again, you have to follow your heart.
I happen to believe in the three exceptions. Most people
believe in the three exceptions. Most Republicans believe in the exceptions,
but they don't want to see an abortion in the
ninth month or the eighth month. Almost everybody agrees to that,
and they certainly don't want to see in the case
(20:21):
of the governor of Virginia, the former governor and my dad,
who said, we set the baby aside and then we
decide what to do, meaning what are we doing execute
the baby?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Nobody's executing babies, and that is insane.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
He's got some saying that I don't want it. They
set the baby aside.
Speaker 11 (20:40):
The question visual about you, what' of health?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Harris? You're an active man.
Speaker 11 (20:48):
You we see you golfing all the time. But if
if you win, you'll still be president at eighty two,
which is older than Biden is right now, but not mentally.
Speaker 12 (21:00):
Look mentally, here's the question shot he shot, But most
people would most people I know many people in their
eighties and their nineties.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
People are some of our greatest leaders.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
You look at throughout the world, world history, the greatest leaders,
some of the greatest leaders in the world were in
their eighties.
Speaker 12 (21:19):
But here's the question.
Speaker 11 (21:20):
Would you consider stepping down if you felt that your
health was declining?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Would absolutely not?
Speaker 7 (21:28):
I think I know.
Speaker 9 (21:29):
Look if I came onto a stage like this and
I got treated so rudely, is this woman trump my goodness.
And I'm fine with it because she it does that.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
She was very rude, sir, very rude. That was a
nasty That wasn't a question.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
We got to hear what that was.
Speaker 7 (21:45):
Yeah, I got to go back and find that wast
a question.
Speaker 13 (21:47):
I repeated, you said you would you would.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Watch if I this again.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Former President Trump speaking at the National Association Black Journalist's
Annual Convention and Career who was invited to speak, as
was the Vice president apparently, but she had scheduling conflicts
and said that she wasn't going to be able to
make it. He's on stage answering questions from these three moderators.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
There the executing the abortions in the eighth and ninth
month and executing the babies. Those are just lies, like
that's just nobody is saying that wordiness.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
And then there's a baby, and we set aside the baby,
we execute the baby.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
We put it on a pile of all the other babies.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
The hell is he talking about?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Well, we tracked down the initial question that caused all
the consternation from him, repeatedly going after Rachel Scott from
ABC News. She's the one who kind of opened up
this question. And answer forum.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yeah, she's from a like you said, ABC News.
Speaker 13 (22:43):
This was SA Sir, the President, We so appreciate you
giving us an.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Hour of your time. Okay.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
This is the very beginning National Association of Black Journalists
annual convention that they're doing.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
And they have.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Rachel from ABC News, a reporter from Someophore, Harris Faulkner
from Falk News of Fox News, and they're all up
there asking questions of the president.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
So again this is they're all black journalists, right, Okay.
Speaker 13 (23:07):
Yeah, mister President, we so appreciate you giving us an
hour of your time. I want to start by addressing
the elephant in the room, Sir. A lot of people
did not think it was appropriate for.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
You to be here today.
Speaker 13 (23:20):
You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals,
from Nicki Haley to former President Barack Obama, saying that
they were not born in the United States, which is
not true. You have told four congressman women of color
who were American citizens to go back to where they
came from. You have used words like animal and rabbit
to describe black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists, calling
(23:43):
them a loser, saying the questions that they asked are
quote stupid and racist. You've had dinner with a white
supremacists at.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Your Marologu resort.
Speaker 13 (23:51):
So my question, sir, now that you are asking black
supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust
you after you have use language like that.
Speaker 9 (24:02):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrible manner. First question,
you don't even say hello, Hello? Are you with ABC?
Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network.
And I think it's disgraceful that I came here in
(24:24):
good spirit. I love the black population of this country.
I've done so much for the black population of this country,
including employment, including opportunity zones. With Senator Tim Scott of
South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
He goes on to talk about a funding of historically
black colleges and universities, which he gets a lot of
credit for. As a matter of fact, this was the
other question that came up was Rachel Harris again from
ABC News, asked about his reference to Kamala Harris being
a DEI higher in all of this when when she
(25:02):
was chosen as the vice presidential running mate.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Find the define it from me if I just defined.
Speaker 13 (25:06):
It, sir, do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris
is only on the ticket because she is a black woman.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Well, I can say no. I think it's maybe a
little bit different.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
So I've known her a long time, indirectly, not directly
very much, and she was always of Indian heritage, and
she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she
was black until a number of years ago when she
happened to turn black.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
And now she wants to be known as black. So
I don't know is she Indian or is she black?
Speaker 12 (25:35):
She is always college I respect either one, but she
obviously doesn't because she was Indian all the way.
Speaker 9 (25:43):
And then all of a sudden, she made a turn
and she went she became a black.
Speaker 14 (25:48):
Just to be oh my gosh, so cringe worthy, and
then she became black to go back to.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
And people have asked for the specific wording of what
Governor Ralph Northam was talking about the Virginia governor during
this radio interview, So he was talking specifically about whether
or not he was supporting state legislation in Virginia that
would have loosened restrictions on abortions laid in pregnancy, and
it was specifically about it was a hypothetical of what
(26:18):
would happen if a mother, if the fetus had severe
deformities or otherwise wasn't viable, and that the mother requested
an abortion while in labor.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Again, these are.
Speaker 14 (26:29):
Such ridiculous pastical examples, cinematic, but his quote was, if
a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly
what would happen.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
The infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable,
the infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother
and family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between
the physicians and the mother. Now, he was specifically addressing
what happens in a case where a baby was born
with severe deformities and low chance of survival. They're not
(27:02):
talking about killing the baby.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
No, and colliative care at that point.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Right, And that's a very different thing now, And I
know that he has talked about it.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
That's been discussed over and over again.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Governor Northam has has clarified the comments over and over again.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
But that doesn't I mean.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
What if there's a woman who gets pregnant, she goes
to Mars and on Mars, there are little aliens that
are trying to eat babies, would you let I mean,
the hypotheticals people put on the table are just ridiculous
on both sides.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
And I hope it's not a main topic because I
hate talking about it.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I don't want to talk about it well, and it
distracts from the actual arguments about what it is, why
you have it, why it's available, what other.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Countries, the things that actually do come up in real life.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
All right, good lord g l.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Okay am I okay.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Yeah, we were going to talk about the boar's head
lunch meat problem.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I'm trying well, I'm not okay about that.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
That hits really close to my heart when you start
messing with my meats.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. You
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. The ladies won the gold yesterday
and Simone Biles posted a picture saying something like, oh,
just a bunch of lazy people who lack work ethic
winning the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And I'm paraphrasing because that was so.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
That was a shot at former teammate Michayla Skinner, who
had said at the time that the talent there would
have been a drop off in talent on the women's team,
and so Simone Biles, being the consummate teammate and professional,
decided to take a swipe at her when they won.
(00:44):
And now Simone Bile says she's been blocked after taking
that shot. My goodness, I've got an update on the
pommel horse guy.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
He's now being called Google guy.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, Google, yeah, instead of goggles. Uh yeah, no.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
No, no again.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
You're trying to get in on my Google thing, right,
and you have no business.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
You don't want any of this.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I do not want any of that. Smoked.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
He's now being called the Clark Kent of Men's Day.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Last day, I'm the one who said Clark Kent. I
said Clark Kent. Oh, Clark Kent glasses.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
You did a couple of times, so.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You started this. His parents are now reacting Stephen Nedoro
sick netarosic. Excuse me.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
It should be a household name now, shouldn't it.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
He has earned that nickname after he took off his
glasses and helped the men's team win their first medal
in sixteen years. His mother, Cheryl, says he has never
worn his glasses will competing, so they're used to seeing
him take them off before he performs. She added that
his coach at Penn State decided Stephen would be a
pommel horse specialist after recruiting him. He will be competing
(01:55):
for an individual medal in the pommel horse on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
We were talking earlier about this new artificial intelligence friend
thing that you can get, can't wear around your neck
and talk to it and it'll send you text messages.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Fine, awful idea.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
This is Robert up here at Mount Shasta. Yeah, the
whole loneliness thing, it's I don't even know I will.
I don't need AI, you know, I kind of look
at you guys as my friends, you know, you're there
every morning.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
You make me laugh.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Thank you keep me company and uh it's getting me
by so thanks for that.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I appreciate you. Guys.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
We appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Have a good day you too.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Out of the fire, Mount Shasta, Mount Shasta, beautiful part
of the day, just gorgeous.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Hey, guys, it's pronounced try ath lawn, not try ath
a lawn. You're dying a bunch of people who are
so sticklers for driver license versus driver's license. Where's Crystal
Little when you need them to correct your pronunciation triathlon athlon?
(03:07):
You know?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Where is Chris Little when we need yet?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Not even wait?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
There is nobody here today. Have you guys noticed that
it's just.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Nobody's coming in today because I mean Wednesday?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Well, okay, so this is something fun.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So there's a there's a whole area near where our
office is, and it's filled with cubicles for people who
don't really work with us. They work in other I
don't even know what they do. Let's be let's be real.
I have no idea what their office. They work for,
like a radio network somewhere. I don't know they anyway,
we have no idea who these people are. And they change,
(03:50):
They change from day to day.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Tuesdays they're one person, I mean, one group of people,
and then the other days they're different groups of people.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I guess you could just call it like a shared workspace,
But they're not here every day some days, and many
days we come in and there's nobody there. Not anybody
is there, and I don't know why. Just for so
long that has been a ghost town over there. It's
only recently that they's been a shared workspace. This morning,
(04:20):
I walk in and I see Jacob in the hallway
and we start doing some jokes and they're not clean.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
They're not clean, Yes, they're not.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
And I was rounding the corner as I'm yelling something
back at Jacob in the hallway, and I round the
corner as the words are leaving my lips, and there's
a whole slew of strangers that heard what I said,
and I'm wondering.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Hello, everybody, I'm Amy King.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I totally should have done that. I've done that before
and I'll do it again. But I was wondering if
I did, and I probably did offend several people, how
would that work out for HR? Since it's a shared workspace,
they're not my they're not my colleagues, they don't work
for the same company.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Really, it would.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Find its way to you. What is it?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Is it a problem for me parent company? Or am
I in a safe harbor because I don't even know
who these people are.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Good news is they don't know who you are.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
True that you've true told everybody on the air, though
they'll they'll be able to find you.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
So you think they're listening to this show.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Let's get into swamp watch.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Swamp is horrible.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
The government doesn't work.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Man gonna make.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
This like a reality TV show.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Bad news.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, DC.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Hey, Joe, a town hall too, clearly built on a
swamp and in so many ways still a swamp.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
I watch. Nobody said drained the swamp? I said, Oh,
that's so hope.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
You know the thing, although it would be funny if
this show is currently being played on the speakers know well,
we know kind of what the style is going to
look like for the next ninety five days. As we
get closer to November fifth, election day, Vice President Kamala
Harris held an election held a campaign rally in Atlanta,
(06:14):
Georgia yesterday.
Speaker 8 (06:15):
So the momentum in this race is shifting, and there
are signs that Donald Trump is feeling it.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
You may have noticed.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
So last week you may have seen he pulled out
of the debate in September he had previously agreed to.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
So so here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Here's the funny thing about that. Here's the funny thing
about that.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
So he won't to be.
Speaker 8 (06:53):
But he and his running mate should seemed to have
a lot to say about me. And by the way,
don't you find some of their stuff to just be
plain weird?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Okay, that gets back to a weird part of the thing.
Here's her big line. She's gonna use She's gonna use
this over and over again.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
Well, Donald, Okay, I do hope you'll reconsider to meet
me on the debate stage.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I try to cut out some of the applause.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
Because, as the saying goes, if you've got something to say.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Well, and she's got the Georgia crowd and the Georgia
accent going on a little bit there. The juxtaposition between
the energy at her events versus Biden's events is night
and freaking day.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah, And that's the other thing that's incredibly noticeable about
this that momentum is a real thing.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Whether you like her or not, that's momentum.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
That's the sound of people being excited about the Democrat
nominee presumptive.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Now does it last? I don't know. We'll see.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Let me throw this in there the way she says Donald.
You know, her father's name is Donald. She comes from
a broken home. Her mom had sole custody of her
and her daughter, her and her sister, starting off when
I believe Kamala was eight and her sister was six.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Dad was not very involved.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I don't think a little bit of twang in the name.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
A little bit of yeah, there's a little spark that
comes out of her tongue when.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
She's maybe I don't know, maybe they have a great relationship,
but I know that that was definitely the case, and
that is his name.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
We do expect President Trump to be speaking at the
National Association of Black Journalists. There are three moderators on
the stage, one from Semaphore, one from ABC News, and
one from Fox.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
So we may be able to dip into a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, let's do that because he's they've gotten a lot
of backlash for having him there. But now that I
see there are three moderators. They may be grilling him.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Yeah, at least two of them will.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Fir Wackner on Fox is not going to grill him.
But the other two Mike.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Who signed off on this, who in the Trump campaign
thought that this was going to be a good move.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
This is a disaster.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
President Trump right now has taken the stage in Chicago
at the National Association of Black Journalists.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
There's three moderators and they're questioning him and it's going
very poorly.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
The moderators are Rachel Scott from ABC News. She was
the one who asked questions first. Right now, Harris Faulkner
has been talking, but also Kadia Goba from Semaphors on sing.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
He is stepping in it.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
He's saying things like I didn't even know Kamala was black.
I thought she was like she's Oh my goodness. All
the wrong things are being said.
Speaker 9 (09:41):
People are coming into our country and they're taking black
jobs and Hispanic jobs, and frankly, they're taking union jobs.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
Unions are being.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
Very badly affected by all of the millions of people
that are pouring into our country.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
And one thing has as.
Speaker 9 (09:55):
We discussed, many of these people are coming in from
mental institutions from from jails, their gang members, and other countries.
Other countries are setting loose their prisoners.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
They're opening up their prisons.
Speaker 9 (10:08):
And their mental institutions, and they're taking their bad people,
drug dealers, gang members, and they're bringing them into the
United States. And by the way, their crime rate is
going down, and our crime rate is going to be
a disaster.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
President.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
I want to get into how you address some of
the issues with black communities. And I say that plural
because we live in communities of color that are different.
We're not all the same, we don't vote the same,
we don't think the strinth.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
It's not monolithic.
Speaker 10 (10:37):
So as you come here today, I want to talk
about something that burfs and this is the weight of
the inflation on this country right now. The nonprofit Money
Management International recently released data from its mid year analysis
that we have found a fifty two percent rise in
people who are seeking counseling for being in credit debt.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
They're paying for.
Speaker 10 (11:01):
Food that is sky high on their credit cards and
now they can't pay that off. The credit counseling nonprofit MMI,
as I said, is saying now that they've seen surges
that they haven't seen since we were in a pandemic
of people in financial trouble. Much of that falls on
the shoulders of single moms, single black moms. When you
(11:21):
look statistically, how do you turn it around? What's your
plan for the black community when it comes to money.
Speaker 9 (11:27):
So, first of all, it's very hard to hear you
for whatever reason, because of the fact that they have
bad equipment, because I guess this woman was unable to
get the right equipment. But it's very hard for me
to hear you, but I can hear every other word.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
It's very difficult, actually, But so I.
Speaker 9 (11:42):
Don't know if they can fix it or do something
with it, but I'll do the best I.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Can with it.
Speaker 9 (11:48):
The inflation is absolutely destroying our middle class, our working class,
virtually every class. Inflation is a disaster in our country.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Inflation turned it around, it started off well again. And
we'll get the audio.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
This is Harris Faulkner from Fox News who's interviewing, and
she's she's been a fan of his for a long time.
It was Rachel Scott from ABC that was the first questioner. Yeah,
that we didn't hear the introduction, but he immediately said,
what an awful introduction, Why would you say that about me?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
And then she asked about.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Whether he believes that Kamala Harris was a dei hire,
saying it as a derogatory thing, and he didn't answer
the question. All he had to do was say, Joe
Biden said that he was going to pick a woman
of color and then chose Kamala Harris.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
The question was do you think that she was named
just because she's a black woman? And he starts to say,
I didn't even know she was black, right, And it
was just kind of touching on things that you don't
touch on in certain places.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
He doesn't care there's no third rail.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He doesn't understand that. That's kind of a well, he's
been a topic of conversation about people who pass as
white or black or what have you. He has no
idea about that entire conversation.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
In that room. That's a that's a hard uh.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Would you say it's a hard vote for him to
He doesn't get a vote in that one anyway.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It's who's signed off on this.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I am recording it, so so we'll go back and
play for you some of the highlights.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
If he sticks to inflation and his talking points, there,
You're gonna be fine because that's the thing that's a
great unifier. Right, We're all paying these ridiculous prices and
we want them to go away. And what are you
going to do about businesses that are taking advantage and
exploiting the inflation that we've had, where maybe they're distributors
or distributors or things, the costs have come down, but
(13:45):
they're keeping them elevated.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
What about that aspect too?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
And I mean to her point, to hers Faulkner's point
there about this in it in are disproportionately affects those
communities of color, to use her term, I will point
out the National Association a Black Journalist co chair and
Washington Post columnist Karen Atia, announced that she had stepped
down from her position at the convention after the announcement
(14:10):
that the former president was going to come and address
the group.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
But if this is what they were going to do,
just question him. What's the harm in that. It's not
like they're giving him the stage. That's what I thought.
I thought he was going to be a speaker, just
speak and just speak. That's not what this is. This
is And maybe they shifted, maybe they pivoted after the
backlash to this format.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
That could have quite We'll see how long it goes.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, uh okay, Former president guys, this is to me,
this is funny. Former President Trump is speaking before a
panel at the National Association of Black Journalists and Annual
Convention and Career Fair in Chicago. He's already complained that
they were thirty five minutes late. He's complained about the
audio equipment because he can't hear the moderators, which is
(14:53):
weird because they're sitting on stage with him, and one
of the Rachel Harris from ABC News, had said something,
could we stay on topic because we only have a
short time, and he immediately fires back, Yeah, well we
started thirty five minutes late.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I mean, it's really good.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
He had my endorsement that helped.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
They're asking specifically about Janie Vance right.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
Now to the United States.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
So he's a United States Center so and so Harris like,
I respect you for your success. I respect people for
their success.
Speaker 10 (15:24):
The reason I asked the question is because the last
time you and I sat and talked was the day
that you were shot. We've been together for much of
that day. You left to go to Butler, Pennsylvania, and
we didn't know what was next.
Speaker 9 (15:37):
And two days after that, I cannot understand your microphone.
Speaker 10 (15:41):
I know it is really hard for me.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
And I can understand you perfectly.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
I can understand, but I can't understand Harris because of
the distance and the mics are really in lousy shape.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
But I cannot understand what you're saying.
Speaker 10 (15:59):
So what I want to say was, the last time
we spoke, you said some words that were prophetic because
I asked you who you wanted to choose for vice president,
and you said, normally it really wouldn't matter what they
would bring. You know, you choose somebody that you think
has a future, that sort of thing. But you said
these words three and a half hours before an attempted
(16:21):
assassination on your life. You told me that bad things happen, Harris,
and that's why this decision is important this time, bad
things happen. You said it twice. When you look at
jd Vance, is he ready on day one?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Interesting?
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Does he what ready on day one?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
If he has to be.
Speaker 9 (16:40):
I've always had great respect for him and for the
other candidates too, But I will say this, and I
think this is well documented. Historically, the vice president in
terms of the election does not have any impact. I
mean virtually no impact. You have two or three days
where there's a.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Lot that's not the question, right, but maybe I can
hear a.
Speaker 9 (17:00):
Democrat side who it's going to be, and then that
dies down and it's all about the presidential pick.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Virtually never has it mattered.
Speaker 9 (17:09):
Maybe lived In Johnson mattered for different reasons of what
we're talking about, not for vote reasons, but for political reasons,
other political reasons. But historically the choice of a vice
president makes no difference.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
You're voting for the.
Speaker 9 (17:22):
President, and you can have a vice president who's outstanding
in every way, and I think jd is I think
that all of them would have been.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
But you're not voting that way.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
You're voting for the president. You're voting for me. If
you like me, I'm gonna win. If you don't like me,
I'm not gonna win.
Speaker 11 (17:38):
I'm going to get my jd Vance question in jd Vance.
I'm going to get my jd Vance question in. To
your point and to Rachel's point.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
He this is kind of semaphore.
Speaker 11 (17:50):
Childish women like myself or divorce people like yourself.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Do you think, well, it's true?
Speaker 7 (17:59):
Said in a friendly manner.
Speaker 11 (18:01):
My point is, do you think the party, the Republican Party,
is getting a little bit too judgy about people's lives
when you think about abortion, or when you think about
what jd.
Speaker 7 (18:12):
Vance is saying. I don't think.
Speaker 9 (18:14):
Look, I think that the Democrat Party is really the
one that has the problem. I think they're radical on
abortion because they're allowing abortion in the ninth month that
is not.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
A baby after the baby is born.
Speaker 12 (18:29):
Basically, that is not Governor of Virginia.
Speaker 9 (18:33):
Based on the Governor of Virginia. They're allowing the death
of the baby after it's born. They're allowing abortions in
the eighth and ninth month.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
We Democrats, I.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
Think they are, and I think the Republican Party is
actually much lesser. I think I've made them much less radical, perhaps,
but the Republican Party, what we're doing is bringing it
back to the States where everybody wanted it. Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives,
everybody wanted abortion brought back.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
They didn't want Roe v. Wade in the federal government.
They wanted it.
Speaker 13 (19:03):
Everybody but the Americans opposed.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
They don't know about this right now, they're voting it.
Brought it back to the states.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Now.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
I happen to believe in the three exceptions.
Speaker 9 (19:14):
Ronald Reagan believed with rape, incest, Life of the Mother,
I do.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
I think most people do.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
I think most Republicans do also. But if you take
a look right now they're doing, it's an amazing thing
out of the federal government.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
It's in states and people are voting.
Speaker 9 (19:31):
And I will say, Ohio is let's call it a
more liberal version has been approved Kansas the same thing.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
A little bit surprising to a.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
Lot of people, but the people are now voting, and
it's taking this issue that's been going on for fifty
two years and has torn our country apart, and it's
giving it to the people to vote on and they're voting,
and many states have already voted, others are in the
process of voting, and it's bringing back to the people
(20:00):
and a vote of the people. And it's not at
all radical. And again, you have to follow your heart.
I happen to believe in the three exceptions. Most people
believe in the three exceptions. Most Republicans believe in the exceptions,
but they don't want to see an abortion in the
ninth month or the eighth month. Almost everybody agrees to that,
and they certainly don't want to see in the case
(20:21):
of the governor of Virginia, the former governor and my dad,
who said, we set the baby aside and then we
decide what to do, meaning what are we doing execute
the baby?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Nobody's executing babies, and that is insane.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
He's got some saying that I don't want it. They
set the baby aside.
Speaker 11 (20:40):
The question visual about you, what' of health?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Harris? You're an active man.
Speaker 11 (20:48):
You we see you golfing all the time. But if
if you win, you'll still be president at eighty two,
which is older than Biden is right now, but not mentally.
Speaker 12 (21:00):
Look mentally, here's the question shot he shot, But most
people would most people I know many people in their
eighties and their nineties.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
People are some of our greatest leaders.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
You look at throughout the world, world history, the greatest leaders,
some of the greatest leaders in the world were in
their eighties.
Speaker 12 (21:19):
But here's the question.
Speaker 11 (21:20):
Would you consider stepping down if you felt that your
health was declining?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Would absolutely not?
Speaker 7 (21:28):
I think I know.
Speaker 9 (21:29):
Look if I came onto a stage like this and
I got treated so rudely, is this woman trump my goodness.
And I'm fine with it because she it does that.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
She was very rude, sir, very rude. That was a
nasty That wasn't a question.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
We got to hear what that was.
Speaker 7 (21:45):
Yeah, I got to go back and find that wast
a question.
Speaker 13 (21:47):
I repeated, you said you would you would.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Watch if I this again.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Former President Trump speaking at the National Association Black Journalist's
Annual Convention and Career who was invited to speak, as
was the Vice president apparently, but she had scheduling conflicts
and said that she wasn't going to be able to
make it. He's on stage answering questions from these three moderators.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
There the executing the abortions in the eighth and ninth
month and executing the babies. Those are just lies, like
that's just nobody is saying that wordiness.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
And then there's a baby, and we set aside the baby,
we execute the baby.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
We put it on a pile of all the other babies.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
The hell is he talking about?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Well, we tracked down the initial question that caused all
the consternation from him, repeatedly going after Rachel Scott from
ABC News. She's the one who kind of opened up
this question. And answer forum.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yeah, she's from a like you said, ABC News.
Speaker 13 (22:43):
This was SA Sir, the President, We so appreciate you
giving us an.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Hour of your time. Okay.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
This is the very beginning National Association of Black Journalists
annual convention that they're doing.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
And they have.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Rachel from ABC News, a reporter from Someophore, Harris Faulkner
from Falk News of Fox News, and they're all up
there asking questions of the president.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
So again this is they're all black journalists, right, Okay.
Speaker 13 (23:07):
Yeah, mister President, we so appreciate you giving us an
hour of your time. I want to start by addressing
the elephant in the room, Sir. A lot of people
did not think it was appropriate for.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
You to be here today.
Speaker 13 (23:20):
You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals,
from Nicki Haley to former President Barack Obama, saying that
they were not born in the United States, which is
not true. You have told four congressman women of color
who were American citizens to go back to where they
came from. You have used words like animal and rabbit
to describe black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists, calling
(23:43):
them a loser, saying the questions that they asked are
quote stupid and racist. You've had dinner with a white
supremacists at.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Your Marologu resort.
Speaker 13 (23:51):
So my question, sir, now that you are asking black
supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust
you after you have use language like that.
Speaker 9 (24:02):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrible manner. First question,
you don't even say hello, Hello? Are you with ABC?
Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network.
And I think it's disgraceful that I came here in
(24:24):
good spirit. I love the black population of this country.
I've done so much for the black population of this country,
including employment, including opportunity zones. With Senator Tim Scott of
South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
He goes on to talk about a funding of historically
black colleges and universities, which he gets a lot of
credit for. As a matter of fact, this was the
other question that came up was Rachel Harris again from
ABC News, asked about his reference to Kamala Harris being
a DEI higher in all of this when when she
(25:02):
was chosen as the vice presidential running mate.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Find the define it from me if I just defined.
Speaker 13 (25:06):
It, sir, do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris
is only on the ticket because she is a black woman.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Well, I can say no. I think it's maybe a
little bit different.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
So I've known her a long time, indirectly, not directly
very much, and she was always of Indian heritage, and
she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she
was black until a number of years ago when she
happened to turn black.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
And now she wants to be known as black. So
I don't know is she Indian or is she black?
Speaker 12 (25:35):
She is always college I respect either one, but she
obviously doesn't because she was Indian all the way.
Speaker 9 (25:43):
And then all of a sudden, she made a turn
and she went she became a black.
Speaker 14 (25:48):
Just to be oh my gosh, so cringe worthy, and
then she became black to go back to.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
And people have asked for the specific wording of what
Governor Ralph Northam was talking about the Virginia governor during
this radio interview, So he was talking specifically about whether
or not he was supporting state legislation in Virginia that
would have loosened restrictions on abortions laid in pregnancy, and
it was specifically about it was a hypothetical of what
(26:18):
would happen if a mother, if the fetus had severe
deformities or otherwise wasn't viable, and that the mother requested
an abortion while in labor.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Again, these are.
Speaker 14 (26:29):
Such ridiculous pastical examples, cinematic, but his quote was, if
a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly
what would happen.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
The infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable,
the infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother
and family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between
the physicians and the mother. Now, he was specifically addressing
what happens in a case where a baby was born
with severe deformities and low chance of survival. They're not
(27:02):
talking about killing the baby.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
No, and colliative care at that point.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Right, And that's a very different thing now, And I
know that he has talked about it.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
That's been discussed over and over again.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Governor Northam has has clarified the comments over and over again.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
But that doesn't I mean.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
What if there's a woman who gets pregnant, she goes
to Mars and on Mars, there are little aliens that
are trying to eat babies, would you let I mean,
the hypotheticals people put on the table are just ridiculous
on both sides.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
And I hope it's not a main topic because I
hate talking about it.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I don't want to talk about it well, and it
distracts from the actual arguments about what it is, why
you have it, why it's available, what other.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Countries, the things that actually do come up in real life.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
All right, good lord g l.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Okay am I okay.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Yeah, we were going to talk about the boar's head
lunch meat problem.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I'm trying well, I'm not okay about that.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
That hits really close to my heart when you start
messing with my meats.
