Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is on fire. Yeah, we're all supposed to panic now,
Oh my god, the world's on fire. You know why
John Kerry hasn't given up on this global warming thing. Yeah,
and the rest of the people. Bill Gates gave up
on it. Bill Gates basically announced there's no more fear
of climate change. Now we've moved on to another thing.
The reason is because AI is the next big thing.
(00:23):
As you well know, it's already here, and it's just
gonna get better or worse depending on your look at it.
AI uses a lot of energy that you gotta have
a lot like electricity, you know what I'm saying? Sure right,
AI uses a huge amount of electricity to generate it
and to keep it going and all that. I don't
(00:44):
know how that all works exactly. I just know that
it does. And uh, what does climate change want to do?
Climate change wants to stop making a lot of electricity
or energy. They want to give you windmills, you know,
they want to give you solar, all that kind of stuff. No,
what Bill Gates wants now nuclear? So first he had
to climb down off of the climate change ladder where
(01:07):
he was screaming for years, And he has to climb
up the ladder over there for the nuclear crowd. And
so we need nuclear energy, we need more nuclear power plants.
Climate change and the problem anymore, Well, we'll deal with it.
But now we have to have it for Ai because
he's gonna make another boatload of money from that.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
That's exactly correct. I agree with Bill Gates on the
nuclear energy thing.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I do. I think nuclear energy is great. They espoused
more nuclear power plants.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Nuclear energy is good. It's if you took one rock
of uranium, you would get as much energy out of
it as you would get from an entire baseball stadium
filled with coal.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
How about that.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Uranium's great, and you could count all the nuclear disasters
on one hand.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It's a lot safer than people think. If you still
have a hand.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
If you still have a hand, yeah, now of course
your hand might have nine or ten fingers on it.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Don't get too close to the nuclear.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Right, Yeah, three Mile Island, Fukushima. And then with Chernobyl,
right is there that one is there another Chernobyl? But
nuclear is great. That's nuclear has never been the issue.
The fact that Bill Gates has just suddenly changed his
mind about climate change tells you that there's a reason.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Why isn't we got to have the power? The AI
The theory about it didn't change.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Now he travels around the world in a six hundred
and forty five million dollar mega yacht. That's how this
guy gets around. How much energy do you think that
thing uses?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Oh? A little. His boat's got a boat, His boat's
got a helicopter. Maybe he's got a little mini nuclear
power plant on board. I would imagine he probably does.
He's keeping it a secret because he doesn't want us
to know.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yesterday, The New York Times published a story many fighting
climate change where they are losing the information war. Shifting politics,
intensive lobbying, and surging disinformation online have undermined international efforts
to respond to the threat.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
The threat of weather. Oh no, yeah, some of the
best advice I ever got about climate change was really
advice for young people. You know how young people get
all hand ringy? What are we gonna do about climate change?
What are we gonna do about? The best advice I
ever got forced climate change goes right and pay attention. Sure,
don't worry about it. That's it, h don't worry about it.
(03:21):
It's the weather. Okay, what are you gonna do about it.
If you want to worry about it all day long.
It's still the weather. It's still gonna do what it's
gonna do. Forget what you did. Yeah, you driving your
truck to work this morning. You didn't calls whatever it
is that they're saying you did.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah. And so with all that being said, I just
want to make something clear here at your favorite morning show,
we are big advocates for environmentalism.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
We are I'm against pollution. Again, it's nothing to do
with climate chair. It has nothing to do with it.
Pollution and global warming to entirely different topics. By the way,
one of our listeners wrote in with some information that
baby that's gone missing up in northern Michigan to tell me.
It's a sad story where a sister. Maybe it's starting
(04:08):
to look like they think that the sister and the
pregnant lady's boyfriend colluded to a killer and steal her child.
I don't know where the baby is, but one of
our emailers wrote in and said, and I'm going to
read it the way he would have said it out loud.
Uh huh if he hadn't been typing the Dane go
(04:29):
that baby really that's what he wrote. Now could be
a dingo up in the northern Michigan woods.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
People in Michigan sound an awful lot like people from
the south South South Pacific.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
It is weird, isn't it. Yeah, what a weird coincidence.
You know, maybe they transplanted like the Thamalians. They check
this out. It's knowing anife. This is anife, but there's
no knife in the story.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, but like, doesn't it sound like one of those
Michigan people.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, I just like them. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, Now I'm gonna do an impersonation of people from Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Listen to this. Well from Wisconsin. Ho, no, no, no loud, No,
that's how people in Wisconsin. Dog do Minnesota? Now, people
in Minnesota talk like this. Alah Wakbard. Actually that one
probably is pretty accurate. Yeah, I think it actually is.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
All Right, so we take you now back to Minnesota,
where the ongoing investigation is taking place as to figure
out what happened to billions of dollars that were just
mysteriously sent to al Shabab.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
They said, this maybe the biggest this is hard to imagine,
the biggest money wise fraud case. Yeah, in the history
of the United States of America two hundred and fifty
years almost and this Tim Walls is right in the
middle of it all.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The Minnesota Governor Tim Walls was warned about massive fraud
in a pandemic food aid program for children. He didn't
do anything about it. Instead, whistleblowers who raise concerns are
now facing retaliation. According to the House Oversight Committee leader,
James Comer not to be confused with James Camey, who's
in trouble for totally different reasons.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Homer wishes he had a different name, yeah, or Comy
would change he as one or the other, because people
do confusion them and they're way different.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
It is confusing, right. Here's how you could tell the difference.
If you're talking about a guy who used stones to
take a photo and spell out a message, secret coded
message on the beach about possibly killing the president, that's
James Comy.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Ah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
If you're talking about a guy who is not a
member of the intelligence agency but investigates members of the
intelligence agencies, that's James Comber. If you're talking about a
guy who tried to rig a presidential election, that's James
Komy uh huh. If You're talking about a guy who
probably gets praying phone calls all the time because people
think he's James Komy.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
That's James Comer. You know what would be handy? What
was he? If one of them was black, we could
call like black Comy and not black Cobe. You know
that that would be really easy to tell the difference there.
That's a good point because they're both white guys. Yeah,
I know, and they're both about I mean, you put
side by side two white dudes about that, and then
you look at them and then you tell them run
(07:04):
around the room and I'll see if I can spot
you think you can't pick two white people out of
a line of so they all look alike.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
This was money that was supposed to go to children.
Chairman of the powerful GOP parts his hair and combs
it over to the side. You know, you know how
y'all all about them parts in your hair? What do
you mean you gotta part in your hair?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I'm sorry? Are you stereotyping all white people like he is?
Whoa mister? Oh? That was super racist? Thank you appreciate
that all right? Now?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Because of Governor Walls's negligence, criminals including Somali terrorists stole
nearly one billion dollars from the program while children suffered.
And so the James Comer is issuing subpoenas referring alleged
crimes to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. The
DOJ is already convicted fifty nine fraudsters in the scheme.
This isn't nothing. There's a mountain of evidence. People have
(07:53):
already gotten caught. People have already been convicted dozens of people,
and there's probably going to be more. The question is
how much did the governor's office know when this was
taking place?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Hmmm, apparently he knew quite a bit. Apparently he knew
quite a bit. You know that all of the money
did not go to Somalia. Yeah, they said there's over
a billion dollars in fraud, and it looks like the
money went to Somalia terrorists. But these are politicians, believe me,
(08:25):
some of it stuck to their fingertips. Wow, you have
stolen my dreams in my childhood with your empty words.
Stay tuned for more. Waltman Johnson. Those of you who
are not industrious enough or criminally negligent enough in your
thinking process to figure out how to defraud the government
of a billion dollars or more. Here's basics how it
(08:48):
worked out. Lay it on us. They used Minnesota's Medicaid
system and turned it into what is now considered to
be probably the largest welfare fraud in US history. Over
autism and autism therapy. They built autism therapy clinics, opened
(09:10):
their doors, and then started funneling hundreds of millions of
dollars a year of taxpayer money because they knew you
wouldn't want to take money away from people suffering from autism, right, No,
except that these people weren't actually suffering from autism. The
spending per year in Minnesota for autism therapy whatever treatment
(09:35):
went from say back in the twenty eighteens twenty eighteen,
about three million a year. By twenty twenty three it
was four hundred million. Wow, in five years. They saw
the need arise to go from three million to four
hundred million dollars taxpayer money. And what they would do
(09:57):
now is they would open and they dozens of these
clinics opened all over the state, many of them owned
by Somali's by the way, which they might be the
front man so to speak, for the clinic. I'm guessing
there's some there's some dollars behind this from the George
(10:18):
Sorows types that sort of thing away. So they opened
these autism clinics and then enrolled a bunch of people,
including a lot of children who did not have autism,
provided them with really no therapy because they didn't really
need it, and build Medicaid for the maximum reimbursement every
single week, year after year. This one company founded by
(10:40):
Asha Hassan, built in fourteen million dollars in the last
five years before somebody popped a head up and went, hey,
wait a minute. They said, these are fake autism cases.
They provided fake evaluations, untrained therapists. Sometimes they were teenagers
the people that worked at clinic. Sometimes they were relatives
(11:01):
of the people that were in the clinic claiming autism.
The transferring money to Somalia, Kenya and Dubai. And this
is just what they found so far. This just all
came to a hit about a week ago. Yeah, it's
an interesting thing. I mean, it's not interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's shockingly frustrating how common this is and how much
people don't pay attention to it. We've pointed out many
times on this show. If you go do a news
search for food stamp fraud. Kind of like teachers having
sex with students. There's always a new story, always. Now,
foodstamp's been around since nineteen thirty nine, but a lot
of people don't pay attention to it. Over the last
eighty six years, interestingly enough, thousands of liquor stores and
(11:40):
smoke shops have become approved retailers, increasing the possibility of fraud.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
According to a new report, which I mean to approve
retailers of what.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Okay, So we just had this long government shutdown foodstamps
forty three days, right, and for the first time in
a long time, federal food stamp programs have been thrust
it back into the spotlight.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
People when people were panicking they can't get my snap,
can't get my ebt. And apparently if you do get
your snaps and your EBTs, you can go to the
liquor store with them. Right. The government says, yeah, take
this taxpayer money and go down there and get you
some liquor.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Now, let's be fair. Some liquor stores have food.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Do they, what, yes, chips and beef jerky or something. Well,
you can don't have a selection of fruits and vegetables
that would be a better diet for some of these
people who are in need of assistance.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Okay, yeah, but that doesn't matter because you can buy
then tell people what they know. You could buy beef
jerky and chips and stuff with your food stamps.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
The government could, but they just don't. They don't, right.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
But okay, so probably frauds happening at the liquor store.
But remember the other thing I just said, smoke shops.
There's no food at a smoke shop. Guys, there's nothing
there but smoking mapparatuses. And there should be because you
could get the munchies while you're there. Okay, so what
about popcorn? Do they do give you some really free popcorn?
That'd be good, and then then you might want to
(13:01):
buy a beverage because it's salty. I don't think they
have popcorn at smoke shops. No, getting off the topic, right,
So we have this very long government shutdown forty three days,
and it forced a lot of average people to take
a look at something they just ignore all the time.
So now there's all these studies and investigations, independent third
party watchdog groups looking into what happens here, and people
(13:23):
are starting to realize this analysis of snap retailer data
by the Foundation for Government Accountability five thousand liquor stores. Guys,
probably billions of dollars worth of fraud happening. Why would
smoke shops be giving getting EBT bene? Why would you
be able to use a food stamp at a smoke shop?
Give me one good reason.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I wish I had answers. Well, we have is questions.
Seems on the surface at least it's wrong, and we
will should fix it.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
We will continue to cover this news story as it evolves,
and I imagine it's not going anywhere. There will be
new revelations in the coming weeks, probably months.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Who knows. Oh, it's got keep going for a pretty
good while. I reckon in the meantime.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Today in Tennessee there's a big election with a guy
named Matt Van Epps. I don't like his name either,
and he's facing off against a woman who just hates Nashville.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah, she is a Oh she's a treat, ain't she
She loves two? She's four. I don't know if she's
had the ability and the power yet to convince others,
but she loves her. Some of that sex change operation
for kids without parental consent. She's all for that, all
for uh, not paying cops, not even not having cops around.
(14:36):
You see how well that's worked out. And yet she's
still standing on it. Man, she is still right there saying, no,
that's what we got to have.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
If you are for sex change, a gender affirming care
for preteens.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
That's what they call it. Yeah, gender affirming. That is
straight up demonic.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
These drugs that they're using, so called puberty blockers, they're
not new. In fact, they it used to be called
chemical castration drives. They used to use these same drugs
on imprisoned sex offenders, but at some point judges started
to feel that they were unethical or immoral, so they
stopped using that as a punishment in a courtroom. And
(15:17):
so the pharmaceutical companies who are still making these drugs say, hey,
what else.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Can we do with it? I know, let's give it
to children. So now they're giving it to kids.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Now they'll tell you, okay, so you use the puberty blockers,
it's okay, you can have puberty later on.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
That's actually not true.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
If you use the puberty blockers and you skip puberty,
you never get puberty again after that it doesn't happened.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
You have.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And so when people on the right say that these
you know, people on the left are mutilating the genitals
and children, they literally mean mutilating the genitals. Someone on
the left will say that's not true. Nobody's getting their
junk snipped off. Well, they kind of are.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
There, They kind of are.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, And if you're okay with that, I got to
think there's probably some suspicious stuff on your computer, I
would imagine.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Anyway, So the Tennessee special election today taking place, and
this is a district that Trump won by nearly twenty
two points. And what's weird about this is the polling
data says she actually stands a chance of winning.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
The Well, the polling data told us the Hillary Clinton
was gonna be president too. Yeah, I don't believe in
polls for a minute. They tell you what they want.
That's this is how we'd like it to come out.
So we're gonna tell you that's probably how it's gonna
come out. And then you're just gonna go ahead and
go home, because you why bother standing in line to vote.
And if it's cold or rainy, even worse, if your
(16:33):
side's gonna lose anyway, and I was already told my
side's gonna lose, So I guess I'll just stay home.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
The polling data is always intended to trick you. It's
always always intended to influence you. So if you are
one of those people in Tennessee that's that can vote
in this election, get out there today, vote five six
times if you can.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
That's a joke, just sir, you know, just making sure.
It's the new useful idiot action figure. Loaded with megaphone,
protest sign and paper pack. He shouts, he marches, he
never thinks twice. Post him against authority or make him
run from it.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Useful dame.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Tune for more Waltman Johnson
Is on fire. Yeah, we're all supposed to panic now,
Oh my god, the world's on fire. You know why
John Kerry hasn't given up on this global warming thing. Yeah,
and the rest of the people. Bill Gates gave up

Climate change wants to stop making a lot of electricity

I'm sorry? Are you stereotyping all white people like he is?
Whoa mister? Oh? That was super racist? Thank you appreciate
that all right? Now?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Because of Governor Walls's negligence, criminals including Somali terrorists stole
nearly one billion dollars from the program while children suffered.
And so the James Comer is issuing subpoenas referring alleged
crimes to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. The
DOJ is already convicted fifty nine fraudsters in the scheme.
This isn't nothing. There's a mountain of evidence. People have
(07:53):
already gotten caught. People have already been convicted dozens of people,
and there's probably going to be more. The question is
how much did the governor's office know when this was
taking place?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Hmmm, apparently he knew quite a bit. Apparently he knew
quite a bit. You know that all of the money
did not go to Somalia. Yeah, they said there's over
a billion dollars in fraud, and it looks like the
money went to Somalia terrorists. But these are politicians, believe me,
(08:25):
some of it stuck to their fingertips. Wow, you have
stolen my dreams in my childhood with your empty words.
Stay tuned for more. Waltman Johnson. Those of you who
are not industrious enough or criminally negligent enough in your
thinking process to figure out how to defraud the government
of a billion dollars or more. Here's basics how it
(08:48):
worked out. Lay it on us. They used Minnesota's Medicaid
system and turned it into what is now considered to
be probably the largest welfare fraud in US history. Over
autism and autism therapy. They built autism therapy clinics, opened
(09:10):
their doors, and then started funneling hundreds of millions of
dollars a year of taxpayer money because they knew you
wouldn't want to take money away from people suffering from autism, right, No,
except that these people weren't actually suffering from autism. The
spending per year in Minnesota for autism therapy whatever treatment
(09:35):
went from say back in the twenty eighteens twenty eighteen,
about three million a year. By twenty twenty three it
was four hundred million. Wow, in five years. They saw
the need arise to go from three million to four
hundred million dollars taxpayer money. And what they would do
(09:57):
now is they would open and they dozens of these
clinics opened all over the state, many of them owned
by Somali's by the way, which they might be the
front man so to speak, for the clinic. I'm guessing
there's some there's some dollars behind this from the George
(10:18):
Sorows types that sort of thing away. So they opened
these autism clinics and then enrolled a bunch of people,
including a lot of children who did not have autism,
provided them with really no therapy because they didn't really
need it, and build Medicaid for the maximum reimbursement every
single week, year after year. This one company founded by
(10:40):
Asha Hassan, built in fourteen million dollars in the last
five years before somebody popped a head up and went, hey,
wait a minute. They said, these are fake autism cases.
They provided fake evaluations, untrained therapists. Sometimes they were teenagers
the people that worked at clinic. Sometimes they were relatives
(11:01):
of the people that were in the clinic claiming autism.
The transferring money to Somalia, Kenya and Dubai. And this
is just what they found so far. This just all
came to a hit about a week ago. Yeah, it's
an interesting thing. I mean, it's not interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's shockingly frustrating how common this is and how much
people don't pay attention to it. We've pointed out many
times on this show. If you go do a news
search for food stamp fraud. Kind of like teachers having
sex with students. There's always a new story, always. Now,
foodstamp's been around since nineteen thirty nine, but a lot
of people don't pay attention to it. Over the last
eighty six years, interestingly enough, thousands of liquor stores and
(11:40):
smoke shops have become approved retailers, increasing the possibility of fraud.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
According to a new report, which I mean to approve
retailers of what.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Okay, So we just had this long government shutdown foodstamps
forty three days, right, and for the first time in
a long time, federal food stamp programs have been thrust
it back into the spotlight.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
People when people were panicking they can't get my snap,
can't get my ebt. And apparently if you do get
your snaps and your EBTs, you can go to the
liquor store with them. Right. The government says, yeah, take
this taxpayer money and go down there and get you
some liquor.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Now, let's be fair. Some liquor stores have food.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Do they, what, yes, chips and beef jerky or something. Well,
you can don't have a selection of fruits and vegetables
that would be a better diet for some of these
people who are in need of assistance.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Okay, yeah, but that doesn't matter because you can buy
then tell people what they know. You could buy beef
jerky and chips and stuff with your food stamps.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
The government could, but they just don't. They don't, right.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
But okay, so probably frauds happening at the liquor store.
But remember the other thing I just said, smoke shops.
There's no food at a smoke shop. Guys, there's nothing
there but smoking mapparatuses. And there should be because you
could get the munchies while you're there. Okay, so what
about popcorn? Do they do give you some really free popcorn?
That'd be good, and then then you might want to
(13:01):
buy a beverage because it's salty. I don't think they
have popcorn at smoke shops. No, getting off the topic, right,
So we have this very long government shutdown forty three days,
and it forced a lot of average people to take
a look at something they just ignore all the time.
So now there's all these studies and investigations, independent third
party watchdog groups looking into what happens here, and people
(13:23):
are starting to realize this analysis of snap retailer data
by the Foundation for Government Accountability five thousand liquor stores. Guys,
probably billions of dollars worth of fraud happening. Why would
smoke shops be giving getting EBT bene? Why would you
be able to use a food stamp at a smoke shop?
Give me one good reason.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I wish I had answers. Well, we have is questions.
Seems on the surface at least it's wrong, and we
will should fix it.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
We will continue to cover this news story as it evolves,
and I imagine it's not going anywhere. There will be
new revelations in the coming weeks, probably months.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Who knows. Oh, it's got keep going for a pretty
good while. I reckon in the meantime.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Today in Tennessee there's a big election with a guy
named Matt Van Epps. I don't like his name either,
and he's facing off against a woman who just hates Nashville.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah, she is a Oh she's a treat, ain't she
She loves two? She's four. I don't know if she's
had the ability and the power yet to convince others,
but she loves her. Some of that sex change operation
for kids without parental consent. She's all for that, all
for uh, not paying cops, not even not having cops around.
(14:36):
You see how well that's worked out. And yet she's
still standing on it. Man, she is still right there saying, no,
that's what we got to have.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
If you are for sex change, a gender affirming care
for preteens.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
That's what they call it. Yeah, gender affirming. That is
straight up demonic.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
These drugs that they're using, so called puberty blockers, they're
not new. In fact, they it used to be called
chemical castration drives. They used to use these same drugs
on imprisoned sex offenders, but at some point judges started
to feel that they were unethical or immoral, so they
stopped using that as a punishment in a courtroom. And
(15:17):
so the pharmaceutical companies who are still making these drugs say, hey,
what else.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Can we do with it? I know, let's give it
to children. So now they're giving it to kids.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Now they'll tell you, okay, so you use the puberty blockers,
it's okay, you can have puberty later on.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
That's actually not true.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
If you use the puberty blockers and you skip puberty,
you never get puberty again after that it doesn't happened.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
You have.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And so when people on the right say that these
you know, people on the left are mutilating the genitals
and children, they literally mean mutilating the genitals. Someone on
the left will say that's not true. Nobody's getting their
junk snipped off. Well, they kind of are.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
There, They kind of are.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, And if you're okay with that, I got to
think there's probably some suspicious stuff on your computer, I
would imagine.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Anyway, So the Tennessee special election today taking place, and
this is a district that Trump won by nearly twenty
two points. And what's weird about this is the polling
data says she actually stands a chance of winning.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
The Well, the polling data told us the Hillary Clinton
was gonna be president too. Yeah, I don't believe in
polls for a minute. They tell you what they want.
That's this is how we'd like it to come out.
So we're gonna tell you that's probably how it's gonna
come out. And then you're just gonna go ahead and
go home, because you why bother standing in line to vote.
And if it's cold or rainy, even worse, if your
(16:33):
side's gonna lose anyway, and I was already told my
side's gonna lose, So I guess I'll just stay home.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
The polling data is always intended to trick you. It's
always always intended to influence you. So if you are
one of those people in Tennessee that's that can vote
in this election, get out there today, vote five six
times if you can.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
That's a joke, just sir, you know, just making sure.
It's the new useful idiot action figure. Loaded with megaphone,
protest sign and paper pack. He shouts, he marches, he
never thinks twice. Post him against authority or make him
run from it.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Useful dame.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
