(00:42):
and I'm Rick Trader coming to you from the Micla Studios,
the Meister studios of the TV network. And joining me
today as my co host, as she does a couple
of times a week, is Sharon Angele, the Patriot from
the Battleground State, the battle Born State, the Silver State
of and here she is Welcome, Sharon, Welcome back to
(01:03):
Conservative Commands.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Well, well, thank you, Rick. It's always great to be here.
I always like to discuss some of my favorite topics.
I hope our audience enjoys that too, that we pick
out things that are interesting, sometimes kind of odd. I
have one, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I've always interesting thing.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
It's odd and interesting in a way. You know, I've
always been interested in education. You have too, because you're
I've been a teacher. So we have an interest there.
And it turns out that even though education doesn't involve transportation,
(01:50):
it always gets in the mix. Are you going to
get these kids to school because you know it's it
should be their parents' responsibility, but we know that parents
are responsible. Is really basically what the school districts are saying.
If we don't provide the school buses, they won't come.
(02:10):
And in a way, there is some truth to that.
But with the homeschooling movement and also with the private
school and charter school movement, there's no buses for a
lot of that, and the kids still get to school.
So here's one for you. School districts ditch hard to
(02:31):
repair electric buses. Okay, they're decided that after Biden was gone,
so were those electric buses. And the reason there and
I don't know exactly how to go into this except
for that Biden spend one hundred and fifty nine million
(02:56):
to award the Quebec base lie In Electric to manufacture
four hundred and thirty five school buses between twenty twenty
two and twenty twenty four, and now that company has
fallen into bankruptcy.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Did you say Quebec Quebec as in Canada.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
As in Canada, so we have we have enough.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Money going overseas to China for the solar panels and windmills.
And so they wasted all this money on electric buses.
But they didn't even waste it here, they wasted it
in Canada.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, there's a lot of odd things going on in
this story. That's why I thought, well, this is something
that we probably need to just look at. Indeed, so
as a result of their bankruptcy, now they've fallen into bankruptcy, right,
they spent one hundred and fifty nine million to get
these four hundred and thirty five school buses. That's an
(04:00):
outrageous amount, one hundred and fifty nine million for four
hundred and thirty five buses. I haven't done the math
on that rick, but it seems like there's a lot.
There's a lot of money involved in each school bus.
These electric buses aren't coming cheap, that's what I'm saying.
(04:21):
And they warrant school districts after they went bankrupt that
because of their diet dire financial straits, they won't be
able to service these electric school buses. So now we
got four hund and thirty five school buses that we're
(04:42):
going to have to take the hit on. You know,
they're not what would they be, less than four years old?
And if they've got any service problems, gosh except to us, right,
no warranty. And because they're a Canadian company, it's kind
of hard for us to go after a foreign country
to make good or prove up or you know, give us,
(05:08):
give us the service that we need on this all
electric fleet. And also because they declared bankruptcy, that pretty
much takes them out of the picture for any kind
of liabilities here. So now we've got this going. Uh So,
several superintendents explained that while they would try to keep
(05:30):
the electric fleet of school buses operating for as long
as possible, they would eventually have to return to diesel
due to the diesel school buses being more affordable.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Efficient.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yes, and right the whole there's a there's a whole
list of problems here besides them being so very expensive.
Uh And it seems like they just took the electric
fleet because it was government, you know, government provided.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
This.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Mike Aleskovich of Homer School District in Michigan said that
we're going to keep our electric fleet on the roads
as long as possible. His school district received two point
eight million in federal funding to procure seven love these
buses per seven eight seven.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
So that's roughly.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
A million, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Let's see, what is that five hundred thousand bus?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Well, yeah, that's what well I'm thinking it's yeah, five
hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, so at least all right, look I got here
the cost of an electric school bus up from upfront
costs were new. Electric school bus typically ranges from two
hundred and sixty thousand to five hundred and fifty thousand,
with the average can fall between three hundred and four
hundred thousand. That's for an electric school bus. Now, you know, Sharon,
(07:14):
you talk about school buses. You know, when I was
a kid, I didn't walk through knee deep snow or
anything to get to school. But my school was about
six blocks away. So why either walked or rode a bike.
That's how I got to school, At least for the
first twelve years that was in school, I either walked
(07:36):
or I took a bye rode my bike. There was
no school buses at that time. You had to live
more than two miles away from the school for the
school to provide a bus for you. And then when
I went to high school, the high school was about
twelve miles away, and I did get a bus, a
(07:56):
school bus, but even that I had to go through
three blocks away to get the school bus. Now, if
you follow a school bus today, anybody that follows the
school bus today, they know the dorm bus stops just
out in front of every single house. They don't want
kids even to walk to the corner. I mean, they
stop at each and every house. So I would think
(08:24):
I would think the maintenance on school buses this is
pretty high because that's a lot of breaking, that's a
lot of changing of gears, that's a lot of pushing
of the clutch. I would think that school buses there's
a lot of maintenance on them. So now these school buses,
this company is going out of business or going bankrupt,
(08:45):
and you're not going to be able to get them
serviced by the company manufactured them. So how much, as
I said, this was the upfront cost with these school buses,
all right, I wonder what it's going to cost now
to keep them on the road.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Well, like you said, they have to be plugged in.
They have a completely different maintenance model than a diesel,
so your mechanics have to be brained a different way.
It's the same. You know what happens if you have
to go long distance on a bus trip. I don't
(09:24):
think I would want to take a diesel bus to
a game that's too far away. You know, you might
not be able to cant, might not get it charged.
You know, there's all kinds of a really kind of.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
You said, well, they go along with the other thing
is each one of these school buses, they're going to
need to be charged every night, right, So that means
you need a charger for each and every school bus.
So that's an additional cost. And any time in school
has anything done any kind of maintenance, any kind of construction.
(10:01):
You know, you're getting unions involved. Not saying anything negative
about the union bus drivers or about the union contractors,
but that's an additional cost. Just give you an idea, Sharon.
The cost of a new diesel school bus between one
hundred and twenty five thousand and one hundred and sixty thousand.
(10:25):
So you're looking at the cost of an electric school bus.
The initial cost of an electric school bus is double.
It's more than double, at least almost triple, almost triple.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Well, those ones in Michigan, we're four hundred thousand apiece,
that's what they got to buy these buses. And the
government paid three hundred and sixty five thousand a piece
for these buses. Peece, there's a little there's a little
wiggle room there.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
That's yeah, yeah, And say, the whole thing is this
is a solution that didn't work to solve a problem
that didn't exist. You know, you could say that about
all this renewable garbage, the wind, the solar, the electric cars,
(11:22):
the electric school buses. It's a solution that does not
work for a problem that never existed. Right.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Well, there's a guy in Louisiana superintendent. They got some
of these school buses, fourteen of them in fact, and
they're still new because he's having difficulty finding companies that
can repair them. So he's they're still new sitting in
the bus yard because right, yep, yet another that another
(12:01):
problem that they're having is there will be these things
when you switch over to electric fickles. For anyone who's
thought the transition to an EV is easy and even profitable,
yet another example that perhaps there will be big problems
(12:22):
trying to do that switch. Over there have been big
problems for private ownership. People that have go ahead and
purchased an EV and then found out there's problems. We
had a friend and Fallon who purchased one. Well, one
of the problems is that they don't get as good
(12:43):
as gas mileage, don't get as good as electric mileage
going up and down mountains, and so he got worse
gas mileage than he expected. In worse mileage than he expected,
I shouldn't say gas mileage, but the electric out before
he got to Reno coming from Fallen, and he thought
he had enough to get in, and so he said,
(13:06):
forget it. He sold his EV because it's not it's
not practical for him to have an EV out where
he's driving around in the mountains and a solution. It's
only a sixty mile trip from Fallen to Reno, and
so he thought, well, with half of a charge on
his on his EV, he should have been able to
(13:29):
make it for sixty miles. Well, not so fast. It didn't.
It didn't happen for him, and so he he he said, well,
I'm I'm going.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Back to gas.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Maybe hybrids might work. I know we have a friend
who has a hybrid he's trying that out, and they
charged themselves as they're running on the road. But still,
as you said, it's something.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Well, you know, you know there's other things that has
an end of the road. That's this segment, you know,
because it goes for like twelve minutes, and we're about there,
so let's get a break in. And you are listening

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Welcome Back, Welcome back to the Conservative Commandos with Sharon
Angle and I'm Rick Trader, coming to you from the
Miclus Studios, the Mysture Studios of ourbur you onn eight
un TV Network. Sharon, what else is filling up your
radar screen.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Building it up. You know, it's a constant barrage here.
The Democrats don't have anything. It's kind of a nothing
burger over there on that Democrat side. And so they've
they've flipped their stand on the Epstein files. They flipped
(18:07):
it right. Well, they were reluctant to release any of
the eptein Epstein files. They didn't want those to go out.
And a lot of it had to do with their guys.
You know, Clinton was part of that. We know that
the Prince of England was, yes, he was, he was involved.
(18:34):
There was just a lot of stuff they didn't want
to come out, and these guys are kind of all
their friends and so they didn't want to have it
come out, and so that became the push and they
must be hiding something. So that was a push during
the twenty twenty four election was they must be hiding something.
We're going to we're going to get in there and
find out what they're hiding. Well, as Trump has put
(18:57):
his people on it, they're saying, you know, actually there
wasn't anything to find. We've disclosed it, we've given it
to you, and it's really, as they said, most of
it came out right there in the beginning, and there's
not anything else to really learn from those files, but
they did put them out there saying, you know that
(19:21):
there were thirty three thousand files that they put out there,
you got them, but that the Democrats are still not
happy with this. This is the thing now that they've
decided they're just going to sink their teeth into and
ride it for all it's worth. And they had to
(19:41):
flip to the full transparency. Well, we've never gotten full
transparency from the Democrats on anything, So it's an interesting
political stand that they're making. You wait a second, you know,
they flip flopped here, and nobody's pointing that out, that
there's a big flip flop.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Well, I think there's a reason for flip flop, and
I'll tell you where I'm coming. Remember that Brett kavanall right, Yes,
you remember during his confirmation hearings, this woman come forward
and saying that Brett kavanall uh sexually harassed her or
groped or something at a party. And it was pretty
(20:25):
well prooven that this information was totally false. Remember that. Well, now,
from what I'm hearing is the the women, the women
that were victims of Epstein's whatever he did there, parties
rate seduction whatever. Well, they have these women now, I
(20:51):
think there are like thirty of them that have come forward.
They said they're going to compile their own list. Now.
So with the that being said, Sharon, I will guarantee you,
I will bet just about anything that on these lists
(21:12):
or some of these lists that are being compiled by
these women who were quote unquote the victims of Epstein.
I will guarantee you Donald Trump's name will come up
with this.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Well, they've already tried to well not well.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
This is this is different. This is there is no
list what is coming out now, There is no list,
there is no Epstein list. But these women, these thirty
women that have come forward, have gotten together and say, well,
we're going to create a list. We're going to create
a list. So I can oh, I can guarantee you, Sharon,
(21:55):
that on at least one of these lists then named
Donald Trump will be on it. The way Brett Cavanaugh
was accused by I forget her name, Do you remember
her name, Sharon, woman who accused Brett Kevanall, Maybe you
could google that. While we're doing this little segment, my
(22:16):
computer is running very badly today, Like I can't even
see you as a matter of fact right now, but
I guarantee you that one of these lists will be
constructed and it will contain the name Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
It.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Well, Christine lazy.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Ford, there you go, Chris.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
The woman that accused Brad Cavanaugh sexual assault, right, and
that became a nothing as you say, Uh, that was
never there was never anything really there there and she
fabricated right. See.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Well, what I'm saying is I guarantee you at least
one of these women are going to fabricate a list
and put the name Donald Trump on it. You know, Sharon,
the Iranians have been and are a thorn in our
side since nineteen seventy nine thanks to Jimmy Carter. They
continue to be a thorn on our side with their
(23:24):
nuclear program and their hate of America. Sharon, these are
just nasty, nasty, evil people. Maybe we're not talking about
the people of Iran, as they say all the time,
but certainly the heads of the government in Iran leave
a lot to be desired.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, they do, and they are really not willing, I guess,
to just call it quits on this wary They now
are thinking of other ways to punish the West. I
guess is this idea. They have now arrested fifty three Christians,
(24:16):
and they're doing it because they say they're spying from
the Massad that's there. They're associated with Massad, and they're
the ones right that they gave the gave the Massad,
which is Israel's CIA, gave them the look inside of Iran,
(24:43):
so they knew where to attack and when to attack,
what to attack those things. That's what they're saying that
these Christians are the ones that are to blame for that.
And their Christian population in Iran is only about eight
(25:06):
hundred thousand. Many of them don't even have a church
to attend. They are underground already. These are Christians who
have no real Israeli ties. These are Christians that came
out of Islam, that are Muslim converts, so they are
(25:27):
traders to Islam. And this is just a to me,
this is just a trumped up charge in order to
do a genocide. That's kind of what these guys do.
You know?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
They well.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
They go in to get rid of people that don't
agree with them.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Well, i'll tell you why this happens, Sharon. The same
reason for in this country. You can't say anything negative
about the Muslims, but you can sure say anything you
want to negative about Christians. And I'll tell you why
they get away with it, because Christians are too nice.
(26:18):
They don't fight back. They're not evil like the Muslims,
like the Islamists are. You know, they don't kill. They
don't go around killing people because of their religious belief
is different. They don't go around killing people because they
there is their goal to erase Islam from the face
(26:44):
of the earth. Christians are too damn nice. They are
absolutely too nice, and maybe maybe Christians needs to start
being a little bit more militant. I don't know, Sharon.
I mean, we tried, we tried turning the other cheek
and maybe in the end that'll work. I don't know,
(27:07):
but I think that I think Christians are too nice
too forgiving two understanding.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
And these Christians that they're aiming at are Christians that
have converted from Islam to Christianity, and they they are
more vulnerable to persecution and discrimination. The government controls their
places where they think they live, and are looking for them.
(27:37):
But they have a certain anonymity in these urban areas
because of the large populations there, so they're easy it's
easier for them to kind of hide where they're at. However, however,
they did go out of country and they did that.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
They what do they mean they went out of country.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
It seems like they went to a conference of some
kind and the government picked up on it, and that's
how they were arrested. That's how they found them, was
they were coming back in country and they had their bibles,
and then they were accused of smuggling bibles in as well,
(28:24):
so they confiscated their bibles and their literature and they
were caught that way.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
All I'm saying is I really do believe, and I
do believe throughout the world that Christians are too Christians.
I think that you look at this country, Sharon, look
at this country how Christians are persecuted compared to non Christians.
(28:57):
I mean, you can't say anything about the Muslims, can't
say anything about all these You can't say anything about
the black community, you can't say anything about the Hispanic community.
You can't say anything about the muslim But Christianity, Oh,
you can go after that any way you want. You
can't say anything negative about the homosexuals. But Christians, Oh,
(29:20):
you can attack them day and night and day and night.
Do you know why? Because the attackers know the Christians
won't do a thing, won't do a thing about it. Well,
I know you disagree with me, Sharon, but you know what.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
That disagreement Christian? How about that?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
You know what I say? Well, Sharon, we got to
go to a break. I hate to do this. The
old evil clockmaster is at it once again, and you're
listening too much in conservative commandos. I'm roturiting them my coast, Sharon, angle,

All right, Sharon, where we go it?
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Oh, we're going to a win in the courts for Trump,
and that is that part I know. It's it's great
when he gets an overturn an Obama appointed judge in
the US District Circuit DC Circuit court said that twenty
(36:09):
billion dollars couldn't be frozen because it was needed, it's necessary.
Let me tell you what the necessity was. These funds
were to use to be for the reduction of greenhouse
(36:29):
gas emissions. So that's what they were doing. They were
funneling these greenhouse gas emission moneys twenty billion dollars into
some nonprofits just before Trump took office. And he says, no,
that's not going to fly, and he froze it and
(36:51):
he shielded these twenty billion dollars in climate related grants.
He said, We're not going to do that. And this
judge says, oh, yes, you must. Well they've overturned that
and said, no, Trump is right. Trump is right.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Who ever returned it an appellate court, the Supreme court?
I mean what court has now overturned it? Because it
makes a difference, you know, Okay, if he goes through
an appeals court gets returned, well guess what they could
then appeal the appeal to a higher court.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
And I'm going to say, well, because it's an appeals court,
three judge panel, let's put two to one, so they
have an appeal there because one one dissented another Obama
appointee dissented, but this was the opinion of the ones
(37:49):
who overturned it. We conclude the District Court abused its
discretion in issuing the injunction. The grantees are not likely
to succeed on merits because their claims are essential contractual
and therefore jurisdiction lies exclusively in the court of federal claims.
And while the District Court has jurisdiction over grantees constitutional claim,
(38:11):
the claimate is merit, the claim is meritless. Moreover, the
equities strongly favor the government, which on behalf of the
public must ensure the proper oversight and management of this
multi billion dollar fund. The nonprofits that were set to
receive this money included Coalition for Green Capital, Climate United Fund,
(38:37):
Power Forward Communities, Opportunity Finance Network Inclusive, and the Justice
Climate Fund. Wow, you know, I've never heard of any
of those, but I'm sure achieving billions of dollars and
Opportunity Finance Network doesn't even sound like climate It sounds
(39:01):
like a real slash fund. There sure or any guarantee.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
You every one of these every one of these organizations
had the solution to climate change. Every one of them
had this solution to climate change, and without this twenty
billion dollars, we're all gonna I don't know, are we
going to freeze to a crisp or burn to a crisp?
(39:25):
I mean, which is it? Which is it this week?
Which is it? Which is it this week?
Speaker 2 (39:31):
I don't know. But the twenty billion dollars now is
looking for a home. The administration is considering how to
use that twenty billion.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Give it back to better taxpayer. Give it back to
the taxpayer. I think that's better way. This is waste,
fraud and abuse. This twenty billion dollars, it's nothing but
waste front abuse. And as you say, it was a
gift from o'biden on his way out the door. He
didn't even what he was doing. I guarantee there is
some little idiot in the administration who put it in,
(40:06):
who know how to use the auto pen in both
twenty billion dollars down a drain, down a drain, And Sharon,
I say this all the time. The American people work
hard for their money, They really work hard for the money,
and to see it wasted, wasted, I'm calling this a
total waste. Again. Solutions that don't work for a problem
(40:31):
that does not exist. And it's all to do one thing, Sharon,
And you know this. You know this, Sharon. It's all
to reward their coronies. They figure this game out to
use the public's money to bribe the public into electing them.
(40:51):
That's what it's all about. That's why we're thirty eight
trillion dollars in debt. This money has been wasted, squandered
by these people on their cronies to keep them in
power and to keep them voting for them. And the
shame of it is a lot of this, a lot
(41:11):
of this cronied up money can never be taken back.
You're never going to take away welfare. You're not gonna
take away food stamps. You're never going to take away
public housing. You're never going to take away freeze cell phones.
Because one season titlements are in place, can never take
them back. For instance, in nineteen sixty four, Lyndon Baines
(41:36):
Johnson had a great idea because things were tough, things
were a little tough, and let's make it easier for
people to put food on the table. So they come
up with something called the food stamp program, which was
only going to be for six months only going to
be for six months. Guess what, how many years later,
(41:58):
fifty one year years later or sixty one years later,
we're still we still got this food stamp program that
was started in nineteen sixty four as a six month
temporary program just to help people out a little bit.
This money has been squandered, it's wasted, it's gone. I'd
(42:20):
rather see that twenty billion dollars go back to the
taxpayer cut taxes again.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Well, obviously, if we cut taxes again, our economy is
gonna buzz more, because that's what happens is it expands
the economy, and with that expansion, then there's more money
that comes in to pay down the debts temporarily.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
Right, it's a temporarily temporarily until the next Democrat administration
comes in and raises taxes. Then all the good is
going down the drad And I always say this to people,
learn from your lessons. Okay, learn from your lessons by
(43:05):
never voting for another Democrat again. Never vote for another
Rhino again. Okay, never vote for Republican. And it says, oh,
we need this program in that program, blooney, you know
what the federal government needs to do? Share and protect us,
(43:27):
a defense military, protect us and in my opinion that
all the federal government should be spending money on and
nothing else, nothing else, leave the rest to private enterprise.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
So I wanted to conclude this with this undercovered project
Veritas investigation that captured the EPA advisor Brent Efron, admitting
that these payouts were deliberately accelerated. So here is this.
This is a quote. It was an insurance palsey against
(44:03):
Trump winning, Ephraim said in the recording, get the money
out as fast as possible before the Trump admission administration
comes in. It's like we're on the Titanicum. We're throwing
gold bars off the edge. So it's it was a
deliberate attempt to get this money out the door before
(44:27):
Trump won. And this, what they're calling a clawback, is
what they've been doing all along. This is where Elon
Musk started with these clawbacks, and not necessarily with this
particular twenty billion, but he had many of these earmarked.
So at the end of the day, twenty billion here,
(44:50):
twenty billion there. I'm pretty soon we're talking about real money.
And that's that's my thought when it comes to this debt,
is that we need to start talking about real money
and looking at how to pull back from the extravagant
(45:11):
spending that the Democrats have been doing.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
Well, you know, Sharon, you talk about use the money
to pay down the debt. Just the fact that they're
pulling this money back is taking twenty billion dollars off
that debt, right understand, Just pulling back that, just pulling
it now instead of using it for some other silly,
ridiculous program. Give it back to the taxpayer. Got taxes again.
(45:40):
But that's Sharon, guess what we are up against it
once again? Once again, we're up against the break and
you are listening to and watching the Conservative Commanders with
Sharon Angle. I'm Rick Traider. Don't forget on the other
side of this break, we're going to be playing playing
a couple of the best of interviews here on the
server to Commando's radio show.
Speaker 10 (46:08):
Okay, are you tired of seeing money all around the house,
Then start saving money with First American Home Warranty.
Speaker 11 (46:31):
First American covers the systems and appliances you depend on
every day, and if we can't repair your covered item,
we'll replace it.
Speaker 7 (46:38):
Five save thousands and that makes me happy.
Speaker 11 (46:41):
All plans included no questions, ask money back guarantee and
flexible payment options so you can never pay for covered
repairs again.
Speaker 12 (46:47):
Call one eight hundred four zero two seven zero nine four.
That's one eight hundred four zero two seven zero nine four.
Call one eight hundred four zero two seven zero nine four.
That's one eight hundred four zero two seven zero.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
And welcome back, Welcome back to the Conservative Commando's Radio.
Shall we share an angle and your shrerely Rick Trader,
and we are coming to you from the my Pillar
studios and my store studios of oarvarian A un TV
Network and Sharoner. The first guest of the day is
with us, and please make that introduction.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
It's Alwa. It's my pleasure to introduce Timothy Head, who's
the executive director for the Faith and Freedom Coalition. Tim
is extensive media experience and over one hundred outlets and
publications such as Fox News, National Review, Christian Post, Washington Examiner,
The Hill, The Jerusalem Post, and many more. And prior
(47:42):
to joining Faith and Freedom, Tim worked in public policy
as a district director for the Member for a Member
of the Texas Congressional Delegation. He also has served as
chief of staff and policy advisors to members of the
Texas Legislature and worked in the Republic and Party of
Texas Victory Texas Effort. Tim, welcome back to the Conservative
(48:05):
Commandos radio shows.
Speaker 13 (48:07):
Always great to be with you guys, and thanks for
having us. And we're coming down the home stretch here.
We just have a few more days, just a few
more days.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Yes, it's a week. It's a week as we speak.
So it's kind of interesting. Faith and Freedom Coalition is
breaking records now, and I know, and that's in the
battleground states. I live in a battleground state. I live
in Nevada, and we've seen your presence out here from
(48:36):
the very beginning, since before the primary elections, and we're
noticing it in our early voting turnout. It has far
surpassed the records of past years. And I know that's
because there's a lot of effort being put in by
the Trump campaign and others. But I'm going to lay
(48:57):
a lot of that at your doorstep. That you guys
have been involved, that you've been working with the churches.
That's been the main thrust of the Faith and Freedom Coalition.
They've been saying, why aren't churches they have a lot
to lose, why aren't they involved? And we're speaking of
(49:19):
the First Amendment. So with that, I'm going to let
you I've bragged the way I can. I want to
have you tell us a kind of what the strategy
was behind this, how you've been working in these battleground states,
and really why it has been so successful.
Speaker 13 (49:37):
Well, it's a great question, and thank you for pointing
out those observations. It's always great for me personally and
for our team to hear kind of first or secondhand
of reports. Just like you just mentioned.
Speaker 1 (49:49):
I'll say, you.
Speaker 13 (49:50):
Know, one of the interesting pieces that I've we've found
over the years, I worked, as you mentioned, for members
of the state legislature in Texas, worked for a Congression
member in the in the state of Texas, UH, and
I wound up transitioning about ten years ago to a nonprofit,
of course, the Faith and Freedom Coalition, because I found
not only in Texas, but in other states and now
(50:12):
across the country that the nonprofits have this ability to
kind of continue to improve and kind of evolve over time.
So even in the in a kind of a prolonged
or protracted experience like like a Donald Trump campaign, who
obviously ran and won for four years, lost a race
(50:33):
continued for four years, and and uh, you know, persists.
But eventually the Trump campaign will will will be no
more frankly next week, you know, when we're the other
But but nonprofits like the Faith and Freedom Coalition and
others will continue. We were here before Trump, we'll be
here after Trump. And and and that means that not
only of our messages persist, but also our methodologies kind
(50:57):
of get a little bit better every every two years.
So I think it's important to kind of highlight that
because you know, what you're talking about there in Nevada
is we we have kind of refined our processes over
you know, I've been here for ten years. Faith and
Freedom has existed about fifteen a little over fifteen years now,
and so we certainly still not doors. The records I
(51:20):
think you're alluding to, we have hit over nine million
doors now. I think that either on Monday or maybe
on election Day next Tuesday, we'll actually should surpass a
ten million door threshold, which is I mean, that sounds
like a big number, but it's it's even hard to
kind of articulate that that's that's the largest number of
(51:40):
a nonprofit of kind of a parallel advocacy organization as
far as we can tell in American political history, and
so you know, generally you have like major campaigns or
you know, presidentials, a major parties, national parties. But frankly,
the Faith and Freedom Coalition has become kind of a
(52:01):
political entity unto itself. And so as we mobilize and
educate people of faith, particularly Christian and Catholic voters, we
believe that so just numerically, that is, those two together
are the largest political constituency in all of American politics.
Between the two, about twenty six twenty seven percent evangelicals
and about ten or eleven percent are self identified Catholic
(52:24):
Conservative Catholics. So thirty six thirty seven percent of all
Republican of all voters fall into those categories. And we're
seeing more and more turnout for those and those voters
are going more and more for the pro life, pro faith,
pro family candidates, and frankly, it's moving the needle. And
(52:45):
the last piece I'll allude to that is very important.
It seems kind of like a kind of whittling around
the edge a bit. But voting early, it's not just
a matter of kind of of convenient into preference. What
it does is it allows campaigns and the nonprofits like
ours the ability to kind of see who is voting
(53:08):
and once once people are kind of coming off their
voting and they're coming off of the voter rolls. It
allows us every night we're in contact with the voter
with the Secretary of State's office in states across the
country Nevada, but really twenty four states we're working in
this cycle. So every night we get an update. We
(53:28):
don't know how people are voting, but we do know
who's voting every night every day and we get an
update that night. And it allows us to kind of
customize and whittle our outreach experiences to to kind of
to chase or kind of like pursue the kind of
(53:49):
later voters, I guess you could say. But the more
the better, truly, and I'm thankful now the conservative voters
are starting to kind of get the memo, get the
message that it's really really important to participate early, not
only for your own individual's sake, but really kind of
for the whole collective effort.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
Rett large Well, we saw the Christian Coalition, if you will,
or the Christian right really band together starting with Reagan,
and it was kind of an organic thing, but now
it's more of a political let's refine this thing. And
(54:27):
I have to tell you on my cell phone, I'm
being chased because I haven't voted yet. I always vote
on election there and as it has helped me to
see the way that this campaign is moving as far
as chasing those voters, those late voters. So you're exactly right,
(54:48):
that's what's happening. It's not just getting the vote out,
but chasing the vote, as you said, making sure that
those that we know should be voting with are voting.
The other thing that I've noticed in my in Reno,
that's where I live in my hometown, is the number
(55:08):
of pastors now that have awakened to this idea that
I can't just sit on the sidelines during elections. I
need to make a statement and I need to know
how to make that statement. And that's one of the
things that Faith and Freedom has done is worked with
pastors on refining their statements so they don't get crossways
(55:31):
with the government. They don't have somebody come in and
give them a hard time about their five O one C. Three.
But they also know that some of that is just
plain lying and actually coercion if you any you know,
(55:52):
a form of extortion. If you don't do it our way,
we'll take whatever. So would you go into that little
bit just how you've been able to interface with pastors
and get them to stand courageously in their pulpit and say,
we have to vote the Bible, vote our values.
Speaker 13 (56:10):
Yeah, that's that's exactly right. So, uh So, in the sixties,
Lyndon B. Johnson put in place what's now become come
to be known as the Johnson Amendment, which, uh so ironically,
in that era the Catholic Church, a handful of bishops
and rectors in the Catholic Church spoke pretty, uh pretty
(56:34):
directly against Johnson on a camp on a couple of
different issues. And so you put in place this, uh
this piece that that's that basically prohibited or at least
limited political speech by churches. And so they they the
I R. S. Likes to uh to kind of send
around uh notices in the last last few weeks before
(56:56):
each election saying hey, you know, uh five months three
particularly churches just remember that you can't, you know, make
political political statements from them from the from the pulpit
or what have you. And but they don't really kind
of fill in the rest of the sentence that since
the sixties, so we're we're almost exactly it's sixty years now. Uh,
(57:16):
since since that was put in place, only one church
has ever actually had their C three status removed, and
and that they were it was in the eighties, and
that was a pretty pretty egregious I will admit that.
I mean, they basically were running a political campaign out
of their church. But but since then, you know, literally
for for over half a century, nobody has actually lost
(57:39):
their five O one C three status. So churches can
actually say and do a lot more like a lot
more than they uh that a lot of pastors and
and uh and bishops believe and so thankfully, I think
more and more again uh church church leaders across the
country are getting the memo uh that and frankly, they
probably even could endorse a can candidate. We have faith
(58:01):
in Freedom don't necessarily suggest that, but but we do
suggest very strongly that they should should be educating their
parishioners or their members where candidates stand on issues, particularly
biblically relevant issues, and then just urge people to vote
and get a registered to vote, you know, early in
the process, and then make sure when it's actually voting
(58:23):
time that nobody's sitting on the sidelines, that everybody's fully
engaged and fully participating. And I think that those are
very easy, very safe things that the candidate that the
churches can do, which is exactly those are the resources
that we try to provide for churches. Is exactly that vote.
And here's where candidates stand on issues.
Speaker 2 (58:44):
And I have a couple of those right here that
I picked up in church this Sunday, and they actually
compare party platforms and then they go down the list
of candidates and the issue and where that candidate stands
on those values issues. I have watched though. You know,
(59:06):
churches have a and I guess I want your opinion
on this. Churches have a visibility within their neighborhoods. And
I've seen my pastor said, you know, a guy came
in and he says, I wouldn't put a sign on
on your lot here? Is that okay? And he said,
(59:27):
let's talk a minute. Found out the guy lined up
with him, and he said, sure, but that sign up.
So in a way, it's not an endorsement, but it
is this is a values candidate? Is that what it says?
Or is that an endorsement?
Speaker 13 (59:44):
Well, it's a good question. I think the answer is
that they would not be considered or construed to be
an endorsement. Really, you're just kind of providing anymore than
and than essentially allowing somebody to speak, you know, from
a pulpit. It would not necessarily be considered a legal endorsement.
But you know, you're certainly lending, if you will, kind
of your platform or at least kind of a window
(01:00:06):
of your of your program. You're the the the time
that you have, You're you're allocating uh, some of that
time and some of that platform to a particular message
or messenger, and so I think that but but again
those are those are completely valid kind of legal uses,
and then you can kind of ask other questions on
whether it's useful like an effective or or or effect
(01:00:30):
like politically effective, and then also whether you know any
of the the kind of ancillary uh detractions that might
come from it at a community. You know, every every
church and the pastor has to kind of make their
own analysis from that vantage point. But again, our position
is is uh that we try to get as many resources,
as as much information as possible to uh church church leaders,
(01:00:53):
and then you know, and just kind of urge people
to to maybe go a little bit further than they've
gone on the path, just you know, to make sure
again that people get information, but prisoners get information, and
that they were getting more and more people engaged and
not just kind of complaining at home.
Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Well, I know Pastor Jack Hibbs in making his congregation
available and encouraging his congregation to actually be proactive within
their community. What he was able to accomplish and their community,
their church was able to accomplish there in Liberal California
(01:01:32):
was during the COVID year. They did not close their church.
They were not bothered by elected officials because they'd made
friends with those officials, and those officials were really very
pro that church because they knew there were going to
be votes coming out of that church for them, and
so they were inclined to listen to the argument that
(01:01:55):
said we need to keep our program open, even though
the whole nation pretty much was saying no, no, you
can't do that. So I know, there is a benefit
beyond the election for the church that gets involved in
the community in ways that actually influence those that are
(01:02:19):
making policy, and with that we have to go to
our commercial bug on it. Sometimes. Oh you know, I'm
on a roll. No, I'm going to let you have
your I have your chance. I just want to say that.
So we are going to our break here. We are
coming to you from the Commando's Radio Network studios and

(01:06:16):
and we're discussing their efforts to get out the vote,
and Hey, Tim, thank you for holding through that break.
We really, really really do appreciate your time. Hey Tim,
what is your message? When Faith and Freedom goes out
and talks to people, what is their message? And how
is the message coming from a nonprofit? How is it
(01:06:39):
received differently than a message coming from a particular or
any particular campaign.
Speaker 13 (01:06:48):
Yeah, good question. Well, you know, clearly campaigns can be
that can be built around policies or principles, and either
explicitly or implicitly, they almost always are. But but you know,
clearly campaigns are also built around personalities and it's a
it's a very natural natural thing to happen, it should happen.
(01:07:10):
But you know, I think one of the important elements
of of nonprofit advocacy organizations is they're not necessarily built
around an individual person or personality.
Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (01:07:19):
They really are kind of built on or focused focused
around advancing certain principles and values. And that's that's really
kind of what Faith and Freedom is built to do.
Is is not to not to advance one personality, one
person one one viewpoint even but the really a collection
or a cadre of issues that we believe are biblically based.
Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (01:07:41):
You know, sometimes the way we like to say it
is is that we we we espouse policies from a
biblical worldview within a constitutional framework. And so uh, you know,
I think that that's uh, that's kind of the core mission,
if you will, for us at Faith and Freedom is
is to to to champion not only those values or
(01:08:02):
those principles, but then also to find candidates who are
in agreement with those, whether that be on the federal side,
you know clearly at the presidential level, US Senate, US House,
and then governors on the state on the state levels, governors,
state Senate, state House judges in a decent number of
states run for office, you know, across the across the gambit.
(01:08:26):
We're we're looking for people to be in office that
align with and will actually protect or advance those policy
those principles, uh that that we believe are really kind
of their their bedrock, kind of core principles of what
has made America, you know, through almost two hundred and
fifty years now, the America that we know today, and
(01:08:49):
that that tends to those biblical values, tend to bring
about a flourishing family, a freer society, and and really
becomes a blessing not only to that country, but frankly
be on the borders of that country.
Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
You know, I'm glad you brought that up, especially about
the down ballot, Timmy, you know, because I think obviously
everyone is so focused on the presidential campaign they forget
about the down ballot and how important that the House
and the Senate is going to be to any president.
And I believe it's I believe those races are are
(01:09:23):
as important as the as the race for the presidency.
Tim I want to talk about the elephant in the room,
or should I say the elephant and the donkey in
the room. You've got these two presidential candidates, Kamala Harris, well,
I haven't heard her talk a lot about her faith.
And then you've got Donald Trump. And I'd love to
(01:09:46):
say in this love to say it show that Donald
Trump may be an imperfect man, but he's perfect. I
think he's perfect for what this country needs. Over the
past few months, we've seen a couple of assassination attempts.
And I believe in divine intervention, I really do. I
(01:10:06):
believe in the divine How divine intervention has affected this
country going all the way back to the Revolutionary War,
and how George Washington was unscathed through that war and
so many times little quirks saved his army. Do you
see when you're out there talking to people that they're
(01:10:31):
also talking about these elephants in the room. Well, Kamala
Harris never talks about a faith, but Donald Trump is
such an imperfect man. What's your take on those conversations?
Are you seeing it out there?
Speaker 13 (01:10:45):
Have those conversations quite a bit, And frankly, I've had
them for you know, since back in twenty sixteen. You know,
I think it's no big secret that you know that,
like you said, that Donald Trump is is not a saint.
He's he's certainly has has made his share of mistakes
as as we all have. And and so you know,
(01:11:08):
I think that the reality is that while that may
be true on a personal level, he also is, either
ironically or maybe not so ironically, he has also delivered
actually more more true and kind of sustained victories on
the policy front than uh than frankly any other president
(01:11:29):
who may have have kind of uh, you know and
culocated our our values maybe in their own lives a
little more obviously, but frankly weren't quite as effective in
delivering on advancing you know, true true victories and and
and kind of points on the board, so to speak.
(01:11:50):
So I actually think in a in a in an
interesting way, it's made a lot of probably Americans period,
especially Americans of faith, to kind of like do a
little bit of a a recal recalculation on most of
sorts of like, wow, I wonder if there's something to
be learned here that you know that that people that
(01:12:10):
I might have got to church with in the past
or maybe even taught as lay school class, you know,
that have been in the White House didn't deliver, but
somebody that was, you know, probably less less uh kind
of living living the life on the straight and narrow,
have actually delivered more on what what we have been
wanting to see. So you know that that's it would
be great if you could have kind of the best
(01:12:31):
of both worlds. But but I think, uh, I think
that those they're they're almost may be a little bit
of a of a of an axiom to be found
in that truism to be found in that that sometimes
people that he may not have always felt like he
could that Christians just assumed that he was good for
(01:12:52):
their issues and so he So I think Trump may
have even been more motivated to deliver instead of just
kind of talking to talk but not necessarily walking the
walk quickly. I'll just add, you know, the questions that
you had about about divine intervention and you know, his
life being spared. Ironically, just yesterday here in Atlanta, Georgia,
we had had a rally with almost three thousand, probably
(01:13:15):
twenty seven or eight hundred faith leaders from not just Georgia,
but frankly throughout the Southeast, and he talked for close
to an hour, did a little interview on stage and
talked a lot about not only his own personal his
personal faith, his history kind of growing up in churches,
et cetera. But he did talk about, you know, particularly
(01:13:35):
the Butler Pennsylvania Peace and how that really, I mean,
it's impossible for it not to make a profound impact
on his own life and certainly the life of and
kind of perspectives of his family. So I'm I'm certainly
thankful on an interpersonal level that those that those efforts
were unsuccessful. But I think that a lot of people
(01:13:59):
have kind of looked in from the outside. So maybe
there is a certain kind of element of destiny in
this that's that maybe maybe what God is, what God
is trying to accomplish, may may actually be more fully
accomplished through through a Trump presidency, a second term for
a Trump presidency. So uh, there, there definitely is is
(01:14:20):
that that's a percolating conversation, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (01:14:25):
Tim, you been working on these campaigns, are working around,
not working in, but working around Donald Trump campaigns. As
you say, going back to twenty sixteen, do you see
a change in this man, especially since Butler pa Well,
you know.
Speaker 13 (01:14:42):
I think that he's I do think that they're right there.
There seems to have been a bit of a self reflection,
you know, there of and and you know, so, look,
I think humility is an interesting, an interesting thing, and
I think that that that people can be kind of
demure but not necessarily humble. And I actually also think
(01:15:04):
that people can be pretty outspoken but also have certain
elements of humility. And so I don't think of humility
as kind of self abasement. I think of humility as
thinking more about other people than you think about yourself,
just like focused more on other people. And I think
(01:15:25):
that he's very focused on what he can do for
other people that you know, I mean, I think there's
an element of him wanting to kind of set the
record straight he shouldn't have lost in twenty twenty, and
he wants to make, you know, kind of make amends
if you will, for that. But I really think that
he's going about this whole exercise trying to help people,
to help a nation, to help the world in certain contexts.
(01:15:49):
But I don't think that this really is about, you know,
kind of the scoreboard for Donald Trump. I think that
he's really, he's really he's fully engaged in this process
to try to help as many people as possible, and
that's the way that he sees that. And frankly, I
think that, you know, he kind of alluded to that
a little bit and in his in the interview on
(01:16:11):
stage yesterday as he said, you know, maybe maybe God wants,
uh wants me to be in the White House again
because he has some things for me to do while
I'm there, you know, So I think that's that was
that was encouraging and kind of you know, kind of
peeling the onion back a little bit and getting giving
a bit of an insight into into where he's coming from.
(01:16:32):
That it's it's not just kind of like, you know,
so his legacy of greatness is expounded.
Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
Timothy Head, executive director of Faith and Current Coalition tim
tim one more question. Do you ever think you'd live
to see the day when the Amish have a Trump
parade with horse and buggies? And the reason I point
that out is I see things like that, and I
heares and sermons where I think ministers who are actually
(01:17:04):
leading their flocks, not telling them who to vote for,
but to tell them what to vote for what should
be important to them. Do you see the same thing, Tim.
Speaker 13 (01:17:17):
It's it's really been. I'd say that the last ten years,
you know, eight to ten years have been it's been
a fascinating kind of vignette in American American political history
that we have continued to see a ratchet up and
more and more people of faith voting, which is very
(01:17:38):
encouraging to me, kind of in a very macro sense,
exactly what we've been talking about. You know, for the
last few minutes. We're seeing more and.
Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
More because they're seeing faith and faith and religion on
the ballot.
Speaker 13 (01:17:52):
It's it's it's definitely kind of front and center. And
and I think that that there's been more recognition of that.
And frank, you know, unfortunately because some of that has
been restricted. I think most people didn't think that they
could be or ever would be restricted. And uh, and
I think that some people have been surprised to see,
oh my gosh, like this can either be you know,
(01:18:12):
frustrated or potentially even eliminated in some kind in some places.
And so the more and more people, I think, you know,
not just kind of pastors and faith leaders, but even
just kind of late lay members are saying, you know, this,
this is a big deal, and and we actually have
seen that if the wrong people are in the wrong place,
that this there are no guarantees that this is gonna
(01:18:33):
be here forever. And so I think a lot of
more people are are taking not only you know, uh
it matters into their own hands around life and and uh,
you know, but but Israel, I think is a big
big deals becoming an even bigger deal. And then similarly,
I think religious liberty, you know, when you see it
infringed in some places, that you think this is a
(01:18:53):
this is a very thin veneer, and that there's no
there's no kind of inevitability to this. It really does
have to be protected and treated very delicately.
Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
Well, Tim, we are one week away, one week away
from the presidential election. When do we start ramping up
for twenty twenty six and twenty twenty eight. And with
that being said, how can our listeners and viewers connect
with the Faith and Freedom Coalition and how can they
get on your team?
Speaker 13 (01:19:23):
Yeah? Great question. So you know, so we we kind
of have the joke at Faith and Freedom Coalition is
we have a special name for the day after an
election here at Fight the Faith and Freedom Coalition. It's
just called Wednesday. It just keeps going. For us. This
is a twenty four to seven kind of three sixty
five exercise that you know, we we really won't take
(01:19:45):
a break. We won't pause for catch our breath and
either you know, mourn or celebrate. We just kind of
keep going. And so f Coalition dot Com is our
website and that has links to all of our social
media activity. As soon as this is the election's over, obviously,
you know, Congress will kick in in January, so we'll
(01:20:07):
state legislatures across the country. We're going to be lobbying
and over half the state legislatures across the country on
issues related to life, marriage, religious liberty. Israel is becoming
even a little bit of a state level issue from
time to time. Education, immigration, human trafficking, the criminal justice system,
all of these things have kind of tethers to biblical
(01:20:29):
world views, and so you know, we love certainly for
people to be engaged. We have state chapters now in
twenty four states across the country, and yeah, we just
kind of, you know, keep on keeping on. So our
goal by the end of next year is to have
twenty seven or eight. We're on our way to thirty,
and eventually we want state chapters in all fifty states,
and I think that we're going to get there probably
(01:20:50):
the next four or five years.
Speaker 1 (01:20:52):
Tim Methhead, give out that website please.
Speaker 13 (01:20:55):
It's just f F Coalition dot com. Just f F
Coalition dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
Tommy. You know, I think that people have to understand
that next Tuesday is not the end of the war.
It's not even the end of the battle. That this
is a continuous, continuous struggle against against the evil Left.
It really do Timothy Head. Again, we want to thank
you so much for joining us. Take care and God bless.
Speaker 13 (01:21:21):
Thank you and God bless.
Speaker 1 (01:21:23):
And you are listening to and watching The Conservative Commanders
with Sharon Angle and I'm Rick Trader. On the other side,
We're going to have Bill di Augustino from the Media
Research join us. Media Research Centers join us, and we're
going to talk about the preferential treatment that get Kamala
Harris is getting, not so much for Donald Trump. Don't kowae.
(01:21:45):
We'll be right back with our next guest.
Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
This right here is confidence in a bottle. It makes
me feel so much more confident than I ever felt.
They are some of the hottest videos on social media.
Speaker 14 (01:21:56):
Those videos claiming to instantly get rid of bags under
your eye.
Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Sinette Figureo is here to tell us why. She says,
this one is for real.
Speaker 18 (01:22:04):
This one is for real, and I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (01:22:07):
We even have a video.
Speaker 18 (01:22:08):
And all he uses is a small amount on a clean,
dry face. And what it does is it tightens and
lists the appearance of bags underneath your eyes. And I
did this to my father. We were at home, so
we applied it to his under eye bags and let
me tell you, we were so excited and under ten
minutes they visibly disappeared from view. And now it is
literally part of both of our daily routines. And not
(01:22:30):
only does it work on the bags, it works on
the appearance of rose feet, fine lines and wrinkles.
Speaker 19 (01:22:35):

Speaker 1 (01:23:04):
Four and welcome back, Welcome back to the Conservative Commander's
Radio Show with Sharon Angle and your truly Rictorator, and
(01:23:25):
we are coming to you from the my Pillar Studios
and my store studios of our very own a u
n TV network. And Hey, Sharon, our next guest is
the Word with Us, and please make that introduction.
Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
That's my pleasure to always introduce those who have partnered
us with the Media Research Center, and today is no different.
We have wonderful build the Augustino with us. He's the
research analyst for the Media Research Center's News Analysis Division.
He's previously worked as a video editor for Production Studio
(01:24:03):
in New York he worked. His work has been featured
on Fox News, Dredge Report, The Daily Caller, and other
conservative outlets. Bill, Welcome back to the Conservative Commandos Radio Show.
Speaker 16 (01:24:16):
Thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
Well, if I seem kind of excited to talk about
the media, I am. We're we're seeing some kind of
interesting things happen. La Times is not gonna not gonna
endorse Camala and Washington Post is not going to endorse Kamala.
(01:24:38):
And yet the TV seems to not have gotten a
message where you know, they're still they're still really banging
away on Trump and giving Kamala seventy eight percent positive press.
What's the disconnect on the media here. Some of them
are saying Nope, we can't touch the and others to saying, well,
(01:25:02):
it's false, steam ahead, We're gonna keep with our agenda.
Speaker 20 (01:25:05):
Well, I would I would argue that you shouldn't be
too quick to trust anything to change at the La
Times or the Washington Post. The lack of an endorsement.
If you were to read Jeff Bezos's op ed that
he wrote in the Washington Post, I was a little
surprised to see conservatives heaping as much praise on it
as they were, because if you actually drill down on
what he's really saying there, he didn't read it, that's right.
Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
Yeah, they just saw the headline build they didn't read
the op it.
Speaker 16 (01:25:32):
That's right.
Speaker 20 (01:25:33):
Basically, I assume that's the case because he's he bemoans
the lack of trust that media, that Americans have in
the media. At no point does he suggest that any
of that lack of trust might be earned in some way.
He makes no concession to the existence of bias, and
in fact only just bemoans the appearance of bias or
(01:25:56):
the perception of bias.
Speaker 1 (01:25:58):
Uh.
Speaker 20 (01:25:58):
He asserts that all the journalists at the Washington Post
deserve to be believed and says he's going to try
to do what he can to earn people's trust back.
The whole The whole thing felt a little bit like
if somebody were to cheat on their spouse for like
ten years and then send their spouse a text saying, Hey,
I'm sorry that you think.
Speaker 16 (01:26:18):
I did that. That was that was kind of the
vibe that I got from the whole piece.
Speaker 20 (01:26:22):
So I wouldn't I wouldn't be too too hasty to
suspect that Wackton Posts, certainly not the La Times or
really any other newspaper are going to change their tack
too much. I I think it's just the the appearance
that an endorsement grants, uh, or the appearance of an
endorsement of any political candidate. I think is is just
(01:26:44):
being seen by the people running things there as a
bridge too far. But I their their reporting is still
going to be, I assume, just as stilted as it
always is.
Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
Well, it's kind of interesting. It's it's kind of freak
the left out though, that these they didn't get the
endorsements that they expected. Yeah, so you know, Michelle Obama
for what and she says, oh my gosh, how could
you desert us?
Speaker 4 (01:27:12):
Right?
Speaker 20 (01:27:12):
Yeah, And it's it's funny, right, because the media basically
want everybody to be in one hundred percent complete lockstep.
Speaker 16 (01:27:20):
With each other.
Speaker 13 (01:27:21):
Right.
Speaker 20 (01:27:21):
This is not the Washington Post saying, oh, okay, we're
actually endorsing Donald Trump, or hey, we're we're going to
start reporting on the crimes of illegal aliens a lot more,
and we're actually we're acting the the the entire pro
choice staff. You know, it's nothing like that, right, It's
just that they are not bending a knee to the
Kamala Harris campaign. That alone, even if even if their
(01:27:43):
reporting stays the same, that alone is grounds for massive
resignations at the Post for tons of other outlets to
slam them for cowardice, for not for not endorsing Kamala.
They truly have zero tolerance for even in iota of dissent.
And I always enjoy moments like this because they're very
(01:28:05):
illustrative of that fact, and I think it it wakes
a few people up each time it happens.
Speaker 2 (01:28:10):
Yeah, even one of the their stiller supporter said, now
I'm canceling my subscription. I can't do. I can't deal
with this. It's just amazing that any tremor's in the
force over there. It's just a total total freak out.
(01:28:32):
I don't know how else to describe it.
Speaker 20 (01:28:34):
Yeah, every every tremor is an aid on the rector
scale for them.
Speaker 16 (01:28:37):
It's absolutely true.
Speaker 2 (01:28:41):
The other thing that I thought was kind of funny
is that they're starting now to make some really satirical remarks.
It seems like everything seems to be pointing to a
win for Trump if the election stays fair and honest,
and that's.
Speaker 20 (01:29:02):
That's always a big if. Unfortunately, Sharon these days.
Speaker 2 (01:29:05):
And and the the satirists now are saying, well, even
Biden voted for Trump when he went.
Speaker 20 (01:29:14):
To Yeah, I think I think that might be the
most universally made joke in America when I I I
jokingly remarked that to a friend when I when I
first saw that photo, and he said, oh my god,
I just I just said the same thing to somebody
when I saw that, when I saw the photo of.
Speaker 16 (01:29:31):
Him leaving the voting boot and uh and yeah. Now
there's now there's a bunch of uh of TV comedians
saying it as well. I think that I think everybody
arrived at that joke.
Speaker 20 (01:29:39):
Simultaneously, just because we've seen Biden's antics of the last
couple of weeks.
Speaker 16 (01:29:44):
He's he's sort of thrown Kamala under the bus. Now.
Speaker 20 (01:29:47):
She doesn't even want him campaigning for her. Uh, her
campaign said that he would be a liability on the trail.
So yeah, it's hard. It's hard not to uh not
to enjoy it a little bit when you watch something
like that going on.
Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
And I've seen them kind of Debbie in a conversation
between Obama and Joe, he's, you know, is she going
to make it? Joe says, and Obama says no, and
he says, well, maybe I should come back, and he says,
not a chance, Joe. You know, I'm kind of condensing
that conversation, but it is the laughing stock. The left
(01:30:22):
has now gone from serious to satirical to comical. It
seems like in this last desperation, you know, yeah, I
guess so, I you know, it just seems like they
would try to retreat, retrieve this some way, and I
(01:30:42):
don't see that. I don't see them going back on anything.
It seems like it's No, we're still sold out. The
media is still sold out. It's kind of scary to
do it, kind of fervor.
Speaker 20 (01:30:58):
It would appear that they're just doubleing down harder and
harder on their what what seems to be anyway, their
closing argument, which is essentially Donald Trump as Hitler, He's
a Nazi. Maybe his supporters are Nazis too, depends what
day you ask them and who you ask. But yeah,
and so I mean to your point that you that
you made earlier before, I got a soft topic a
(01:31:19):
little bit on the Washington Post.
Speaker 1 (01:31:21):
Uh.
Speaker 20 (01:31:22):
The the television outlets do not seem to have gotten
the memo as much. Uh, and they are more than
happy to help the Harris campaign broadcast this message.
Speaker 16 (01:31:32):
I don't know if you saw do you see some
of the.
Speaker 20 (01:31:34):
Chirons that were being aired, particularly on CNN and MSNBC
during during that Madison Square Garden rally. They were the
the chirons were directly comparing the rally to the the
nineteen thirty nine Nazi part or American Nazi part, whatever
it was, rally that that, apparently, in their minds, is
(01:31:56):
the only political event that has happened at MSG sit
between Ben and now, right, it's not like the Democratic
National Convention was held there multiple times. It's not like
Bill Clinton accepted the Democratic nomination at Madison Square Garden
to a massive crowd. Right, It's just Madison Square Garden
was closed down for eighty five years. The Nazi Party
at a rally there, then it closed for eighty five years,
(01:32:18):
and then Trump came in and said, hey, you know
what Hitler did, I'll do the same thing.
Speaker 16 (01:32:21):
Oh, Hitler wasn't even there was the American Party.
Speaker 1 (01:32:23):
But whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:32:25):
Yeah, it has been amazing to me to watch the
commercials as well that are coming out and how solidly
they are pushing this reproductive rights thing. It just is
almost the only thing you see coming out of the left,
and it's all the way down the ticket.
Speaker 16 (01:32:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 20 (01:32:47):
That, and they're also supposedly running a bunch of ads
on shall we say, adult websites, trying to scare young
men into believing that Trump is going to ban all
adult websites. They're now they have Tim Waltz trying to
reach out to men by streaming himself playing video games.
And so I think it was I think it was
Peter Hassen who said it was one of the Hassen Brothers,
(01:33:09):
So forgive me if it was John. I'm sorry, guys,
uh but he said, very very succinctly, the Harris campaign
is now essentially the party of abortion, weed, porn, and
video games.
Speaker 16 (01:33:21):
That's that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
Yeah, and it and it looks that way to us
that are just sitting on our couch watching and all
of a sudden, this commercial comes in, and you go
and and you know, you watch it once because you're
interested to see what they're actually saying. You watch it
twice because you're angry, and now you're picking up the lies,
(01:33:43):
and by the third time you're muting it and saying,
I don't want to watch that anymore. It's just it's
just awful. You guys over there at the Media Research
Institute must be going. You're used to.
Speaker 20 (01:34:00):
We get, we get very I mean, you know, I
cut my teeth on Mourning Joe.
Speaker 16 (01:34:05):
When I was an intern here years ago.
Speaker 20 (01:34:08):
I watched Morning Joe and then and then the afternoon
I would watch Deadline White House. So I mean, you know,
at this at this point, I feel like I could uh,
just about anything.
Speaker 1 (01:34:22):
You're still with it. You didn't hang yourself yet, No, I.
Speaker 20 (01:34:26):
Mean, you know, I've talked off the ledge a few times,
but uh, you know, before that, actually even even that
felt easy.
Speaker 13 (01:34:32):
I was.
Speaker 20 (01:34:32):
I was because before that, my my job right before
was interning on the hill for a senator. And this
was right right after the Trump inauguration, was in a
purple state, and we were getting so many phone calls
from angry Democratic constituents just to complain about Donald Trump, essentially,
which I mean, look, the Senator couldn't do anything about
(01:34:55):
Donald Trump being president, right, but they needed to, they
needed to complain, and we were getting so many calls
from constituents that we can do any other intern duties. Right,
So there was very little, very little legislative work, very
little anything else other than just essentially having my ear
shouted off by upset Southern Democrats for for eight hours
a day, and so then then just getting to sit
(01:35:17):
in air condition room and watch Morning Joe.
Speaker 16 (01:35:19):
That felt easy.
Speaker 20 (01:35:20):
And now now I'm past that, and uh, I don't know,
I don't, I don't.
Speaker 16 (01:35:25):
I'm older than I was.
Speaker 20 (01:35:26):
I I chalk it up to that, right that, and
the uh that and the hazard pay that I get now,
well it.
Speaker 2 (01:35:33):
Certainly has the the the whole campaign. Even though we're
just a week out now and pretty much wrapping up.
It seems like the October surprise is kind of a
implosion from the left. They seem not to be able
to run through their game. They're they're kind of splintering.
(01:35:56):
It seems like it's that the surprises on them. They
can't keep their well oiled machine oiled, right right.
Speaker 20 (01:36:03):
I think that somebody at the Harris campaign missed the
memo the October surprise is not it's not supposed to
be a surprise gift. But hey, I mean, I like
nice surprises as much as the next guy. So okay,
if that's if that's the path they've chosen, and I
will say, I mean, I'm I'm the constant doom and
gloom guy who's having to be kind of rehabilitated by
(01:36:24):
my friends routinely and told shut up, you're being negative.
But I've got to say, if you if you look
at the early vote numbers that you're seeing, and especially
some of the analyzes of projected election day vote cannibalization
from some of these early voting states like Pennsylvania specifically,
(01:36:45):
the election day vote cannibalization rate seems to be in
the single digits, and so that it would appear then
that a lot of these early votes that we're seeing
for Republicans are actually either new voters or just not
people who would have voted on election day in twenty
twenty regardless, And so.
Speaker 16 (01:37:04):
That you know, it's always too soon.
Speaker 20 (01:37:07):
It's always too soon until we've forced Steve Krnacky at
MSNBC to admit who the winner is. But it does
seem like a good sign right now. So that's that's
as far as I'll go.
Speaker 2 (01:37:19):
Well, and I guess I'm sitting right in your seat
with you, because you know, I see it from the
vat end. We're cautiously optimistic. Oh yeah, I mean that's
what we would say here.
Speaker 16 (01:37:32):
Clark County, for God's sake.
Speaker 20 (01:37:34):
I mean, like you got you guys are within striking
distance of the Democrat vote in twenty twenty in Clark County,
which is remarkable, remarkable. I don't really know what to
make of it other than you know, then I look
at who the Democrats are running and I say, well, okay, these.
Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
Could possibly be no tax on tips.
Speaker 16 (01:37:54):
Could be a big part of it.
Speaker 1 (01:37:55):
I mean, I mean, you know, Las Vegas, Casino City,
those Oh, those dealers, they work on tips. You know,
the majority of money it's made on tips. So Trump's
pledge no tax on tips, well gets that, uh and
den he says, we're not going to text. Uh security.
(01:38:19):
So that gets all the seniors.
Speaker 20 (01:38:21):
That have moved to Las Vegas, you know, right, and
so all the all the dealers and retirees and cast masters.
Speaker 16 (01:38:28):
Yeah, they're like, okay, well I know who I want. Yeah,
I mean, that's a great take. That's a guy. I
don't think about that Rick.
Speaker 1 (01:38:35):
Anywhere, Sharon isn't Reno also a casino town.
Speaker 2 (01:38:40):
Oh, absolutely, every town in Nevada has a casino. That's
just kind of a given. That's where we have good meals.
Any place in' All nevada you can get a good
meal because the casinos want you to eat, there and
then of course stay on and do a little. Gaming but,
yeah it's absolutely a tip every. Place you, know the
(01:39:00):
restaurants are a, tip the casinos are a. Tip it's
we live on tips. Here and so if that's a good,
play it's a. Play it's a good. Play but, again,
Gosh i'm with. You you have to be kind of cautiously
optimistic because we know what has happened in the. Past
so with, that we're going to go to a commercial.

BACK i never would want to work for The Media
Research Center And god bless you guys for doing.
Speaker 20 (01:42:45):
It it's not quite as bad as it. Sounds we
do a lot of for these. Studies, SPECIFICALLY i didn't
work on this. One it was the, uh it was
the Great Rich noise are our former research, director WHO
i could only hope to be as good of a
of an analyst as him. Someday but you most of
most of what we do for our.
Speaker 1 (01:43:06):
Don't wonder he's not AN mrc full time. Anymore, yeah
there's too.
Speaker 20 (01:43:11):
Much there's too much for. Him he started getting a
skin condition from. It, yeah, no it's, yeah, no he looks.
Speaker 16 (01:43:17):
Straight, no but it's we mostly we mostly go through.
Speaker 20 (01:43:21):
Transcripts although, unfortunately it seems they're hell bent on torturing,
us these these broadcast networks because they've become less and
less compliant with their nexus transcript uploading as time has worn.
On uh and and a couple of networks have now
stopped entirely uploading their. Transcripts and so we have to
(01:43:41):
go and watch our recordings of the full, broadcast which
we do. Anyway we compare them to the. Transcripts it's
in a more analytical. Manner but when you don't have
a transcript in front of, you you really have to
sit down and slowly go through and listen to.
Speaker 16 (01:43:54):
Everything and, yeah that's. Tough that's that's no fun at.
Speaker 1 (01:43:57):
All, well maybe they caught onto, you.
Speaker 16 (01:44:00):
GUYS i wonder sometimes and.
Speaker 1 (01:44:02):
Don't put out transcripts because they know what The Media
Research center will do with.
Speaker 20 (01:44:07):
Them right, Right they've got somebody there behind a keyboard, saying,
like you, know what's the point of transcribing all this
if they're just gonna use it to make us look.
Speaker 16 (01:44:15):
Bad i'm not doing this, anymore, right you? Know that's
that's my.
Speaker 1 (01:44:18):
Guess, Hey, bill let's go. Back you And sharon were
talking about the. Endorsements did the, endorsements especially coming from
newspapers like the like The New York, times The Washington,
post THE La, times did they really hold that much weight?
Anymore do people, go, well let me see Who i'm
(01:44:39):
going to vote. For who is this newspaper or that newspaper?
ENDORSING i PROBABLY i am under the believe that the
the endorsement coming from the newspaper doesn't hold the weight
that it used. To what's your?
Speaker 16 (01:44:53):
Take, OH i absolutely.
Speaker 20 (01:44:56):
Agreed in, FACT i think that that's basically the only
thing That Jeff bezos got completely right in that op
ed that he. Wrote he, SAID i don't think that
anybody there's a single Person america that, goes, oh, well
NEWSPAPER a endorsed this, candidate So i'm with that, candidate
right that that person no longer, exists if they ever.
Speaker 16 (01:45:15):
Did at this, point.
Speaker 20 (01:45:17):
There is such a a glut of self selection or
of news rather available to everybody that audiences are really self. Selecting,
Right they're they're kind of clustering on one side or
the other and then congregating in the uh in the
comments sections of the readership of various, newspapers and so,
(01:45:39):
right if you're if you're a, conservative you're you're not
going to want to read The New York. Times you're
probably not getting your your subscription delivered, anymore although there
are there are still some conservatives who subscribed for it
for the crossword or whatever, else but most of their
readership is essentially politically where all of their writing staff
(01:46:00):
are same deal with The Washington, post same DEAL i
would suspect with THE La. Times and so if you
look at what's happened to The Washington, post this is
kind of proof of, that, right is they're getting subscription
cancelations for not Endorsing, kamala which tells you that their
readership already Supported. Kamala that's why they read The Washington.
Speaker 1 (01:46:22):
Post and didn't there an editor.
Speaker 16 (01:46:24):
Quit oh, yeah a number of editors have.
Speaker 20 (01:46:27):
Quit there's there's a whole handful of people that are
that are leaving the newspaper.
Speaker 16 (01:46:32):
Now same deal at The La.
Speaker 20 (01:46:33):
Times and funnily, Enough Jen rubin at The Washington, post
who was formerly called a a conservative, writer although she
she went too far off the deep end during The
trump years and lost even the pretense of being a.
Conservative but she was applauding everybody at The La times
who was. Resigning this was before The Washington post had
(01:46:54):
said they wouldn't Endorse, kamala and so she was applauding
everybody The La times who was resigning and, said why
aren't more people doing? This then The Washington post refused
to Endorse. Kamala radio silence from.
Speaker 16 (01:47:06):
Her she Has she.
Speaker 20 (01:47:07):
Has not said anything on, it other than to sign
a letter condemning the. Choice she hasn't, Resigned so we're all.
Waiting we're all. Waiting, jen hand in your resignation.
Speaker 1 (01:47:18):
At your car? Payments or do you think she's going
to pay off for student? LOAN i don't.
Speaker 20 (01:47:23):
Know he's got more than enough Money bill talking about these.
Speaker 1 (01:47:27):
Endorsements how important are these celebrity. ENDORSEMENTS i Bet bill
The augusty you, know waits with beta breath to see
Who Taylor swift is going to, endorse, right AM i? Right?
Speaker 20 (01:47:40):
Yeah, yeah that is actually WHY i just cast my
vote For kamala earlier.
Speaker 16 (01:47:43):
Today, now.
Speaker 20 (01:47:45):
In, GENERAL i think they don't matter a whole. LOT
i think that what it might do is drive some
modicum of turnout among people who are otherwise disinclined to.
Speaker 16 (01:47:55):
Vote BUT i AND i would.
Speaker 20 (01:47:57):
Argue that it probably plays more of a role than
any newspaper. Endorsement that is to, say though just a
non zero, role, right BECAUSE i genuinely do believe that
a newspaper's endorsement is more a hollow gesture than having
any effect on people's voting. Patterns i'd say it helps,
(01:48:18):
slightly very, Slightly BUT i WOULD i would also speculate
that Having beyonce come to your rally so that you
can pack a stadium and then not having her perform
probably upsets people and causes us just as many people
not to vote out of. Spite, RIGHT i, mean like
we're talking margins that. Small the only really meaningful. ENDORSEMENT
(01:48:41):
i think that has happened this election would Be Elon
musk's endorsement Of Donald. TRUMP i think that the preference
cascade that we've seen in big tech as a result
of that. Choice we now see Like Mark theasen and
others coming out very vocally in support Of. Trump Although
theosen was pretty big On trump, BEFORE i think that
(01:49:02):
it's had a measurable, impact and so he's kind of
the exception to the. Rule i'd say in, general doesn't
really make a big, impact you.
Speaker 1 (01:49:13):
Know, BILL i think these decision makers are probably caught
up in their own, importance the overvalue of their own. Importance, Hey,
BILL i wanted to get back to this survey that
you guys did BECAUSE i think there's some important facts
that need to be brought. Out mrsc As i. Said
mrscy analyzed six hundred and sixty stories about the presidential
(01:49:37):
campaigns and found the media Is Queen Kamala harris received
seventy nine percent positive coverage To trump's eighty five percent negative.
Coverage and THIS mrc puts out that's a difference of
one hundred and sixty four percent swing in favor Of.
(01:49:59):
Harris why is this selection even close? SPILL i, mean
if you go by, this if you go by the
media is self, importance she should be running away with.
This trump should be in single. Digits.
Speaker 20 (01:50:15):
Right, well the media are losing their power because they're losing,
credibility which is frankly the only currency they should really
be trading.
Speaker 16 (01:50:23):
In it at this point is quite.
Speaker 20 (01:50:27):
CLEAR i think to everybody that they are not as
interested in ratings even as they are in affecting political.
Outcomes and that's clear because they'll do something like air
a full night's, coverage a full week's coverage of every
moment of The january sixth, hearings which are the they
were the, driest most. BORING i, mean forget the part
(01:50:49):
is an angle for a. Second who wants to watch?
Speaker 5 (01:50:52):
That?
Speaker 20 (01:50:52):
Right and if you have any successful daytime television show
that you're pulling the plug on so you can hear
Air Liz cheney Quoting nancy, pullah, right, like who wants
to see?
Speaker 16 (01:51:02):
That and so it's quite.
Speaker 20 (01:51:03):
CLEAR i think to everybody at this point that ratings
are not even their primary.
Speaker 16 (01:51:07):
Goal it is simply.
Speaker 20 (01:51:08):
Politics they see their goal as, politics AND i would
argue in fact that at least at these broadcast, networks
and certainly at the cable networks LIKE msnbc AND, cnn
but also AT, ABC, cbs AND. Nbc these three broadcast
networks that we, studied there are very few actual journalists,
left that, is people who got into journalism for the
(01:51:29):
sake of. JOURNALISM i think that what you have instead
are political actors who happen to have just happened to
have chosen journalism as the vehicle for their, activism and
it shows in their.
Speaker 16 (01:51:41):
Behavior and The american people have caught on to.
Speaker 20 (01:51:44):
This in a recent, survey only thirty or as many
as thirty six percent Of americans said they don't trust
the media at, all and only seven percent said they
completely trust the media seven. PERCENT i, mean that's less
popular Than, congress, right notoriously.
Speaker 1 (01:52:00):
Popular bring Back walter Crime kite. Bill are there any
points in, this in this study that really need to
be brought? Out you, know you, guys you guys do
a fantastic. Job and no. Coverage total coverage added up
to twenty four hours fifteen, minutes almost evenly divided among
(01:52:22):
the three, networks eight hours twenty minutes FOR, nbc eight
hours thirteen MINUTES cbs seven hours and forty two. MINUTES. Abc,
wow you guys go into minute.
Speaker 20 (01:52:33):
Details, yeah we're big on showing our. Work that's a
that's that's a cornerstone of a lot of what Rich noise.
Speaker 7 (01:52:41):
DOES i.
Speaker 20 (01:52:41):
DO i do want to clarify something about this study
BECAUSE i think that whenever we put one of these
out there are there are a number of number of
people specifically On, twitter but really all over the place
who kind of misread what we're actually.
Speaker 16 (01:52:54):
Saying.
Speaker 20 (01:52:54):
Here we specifically focus on a valiet of statements about
either of the. Candidates so, if for, example they were
to play a clip of A republican member Of congress
Criticizing Kamala, harris that doesn't count as negative coverage Of Kamala,
harris because it's A republican member Of, congress it's a
it's a political.
Speaker 16 (01:53:12):
Actor or if if we.
Speaker 20 (01:53:15):
Have a neutral statement from a journalist like, Oh President
trump hit the campaign trail, today, well there's there's no
value in rating that positive or.
Speaker 16 (01:53:24):
Negative and so.
Speaker 20 (01:53:26):
We're we're specifically looking at a value of. Statements for,
Example Donald trump embroiled in controversy over racist remark something like,
that that would be considered a negative. Comment Kamala harris
inspires crowd that would be considered a positive. Comment and
We rich actually included some of the some some cases
(01:53:47):
of what he would categorize as positive or negative for
each candidate in the study to sort of highlight what
we're specifically looking at.
Speaker 16 (01:53:55):
Here BUT i WHAT i find particularly entertaining is.
Speaker 20 (01:53:59):
That the, vast vast majority of the positive coverage That trump,
got which is only fifteen percent of.
Speaker 16 (01:54:07):
The trump coverage was.
Speaker 20 (01:54:08):
Positive the vast majority of that was soundbites from voters
who had positive things to say About trump that were
then that were then followed By he didn't have an
answer though For trump wanting to deport all legal you,
know some some negative light that they Paint trump and right,
afterwards and so it was not journalists themselves saying positive
(01:54:31):
things About trump almost ever Almost.
Speaker 1 (01:54:34):
Hey, bill what about the late night? Shows do you
guys analyze?
Speaker 16 (01:54:38):
Them we.
Speaker 20 (01:54:39):
Do we've, actually, uh it's funny you say that we
have we have something coming out tomorrow on late. Night
our poor Dear Alex christie watches all of the late
night shows AND i get to participate a little. Bit
he'll send me clips when he's when he's got a
study coming, out AND i have to make a compilation
of all of the alleged JOKES i guess that's what
(01:55:02):
they call, them that these hosts. Make and you'll notice
that there's very there's very little canned laughter in any
of these, compilations because the audience often needs a few
seconds to realize that a joke has been made before
they start laughing and. Applauding but, yeah we've got we've
got to study coming out on all of the late night.
SHOWS i believe tomorrow that'll be featuring a video cut
(01:55:26):
