Speaker 2 (00:16):
Mainstream media dumb, over educated and unaccomplished. That's been my
experience over the years and dealing with them. A couple
stories from this past week. This one was classic Dana Bash.

(00:37):
Dana Bash yesh, she always delivers the stupidity. Basically talking
about Kamala Harris's outreach outreach to men and I quote,
they are targeting men who might not be the testosterone laden,

(00:57):
gun toting type of a guy who wants to listen
and to Hulk Hogan. Now I I don't listen to
Hulk Hogan, but if Arnold Schwarzenegger speak, I'm gonna listen
Sebsist alone. Yeah, I did a lot of you know,
high testosterone guys that that that I will listen to.

(01:19):
There's no doubt about it. More than likely if they've
got a man bun and they're soy boys, you know,
I'm probably not going to be that interested. Basically, Dana
Bash is saying that the Harris campaign is reaching out
to kitty cats. What's synonymous with kitty cats? Yeah, yeah,

(01:40):
you know exactly what I'm talking about. Again, you just
saw who attended the convention anyway. Anyway, Anyway, neither here
nor there. This story, the New Report public the New Republic.

(02:01):
They actually basically put Elon Musk out as like basically
the most sinister, evil guy on the planet. This is
the guy right now that is being tasked to save
the astronauts that can't come home because Boeing's crap doesn't work. Again, anyway,
this is behind all of Elon musk bloviating and attention

(02:23):
seeking is a small man who is simply not very
good at anything. Yeah, you may disagree with Elon Musk.
You may not like the fact that he bought Twitter personally,
in my opinion, his purchase of Twitter now x is

(02:46):
helping to save free speech here in this country. I
don't like the fact that Elon Musk they got tax
credits for a while there for Tesla's and I wasn't
a fan of that. But a man, small man who
is not good at anything. Again, I've driven a Tesla.

(03:11):
I don't want one. I don't want one right, that
doesn't fit in my lifestyle. But they're pretty freaking awesome. Okay,
the technology is pretty cool. You know, you start your
own you know, I don't space company and you're launching
rockets that land back down on Earth, blowing away anything
that freaking NASA can do. For crying out loud, you

(03:33):
kind of think it did something. When I was in Greece,
I actually saw we actually saw the star. I was
like across the sky, dots in the sky. His starlink
internet service that one of the hotels they had actually
utilized and was great. The guy didn't accomplish anything. Chold

(03:54):
Lefever put this out and he's spot on. Most journalists
from privilege, privilege, and like I've said, are dumb, over educated,
and unaccomplished. They conflate derive self importance from power from
the more important people they write about and the institutions

(04:16):
they work for. They use intellectual snobbery, socially approved hierarchies,
and merit badges as a crutch. They insulate themselves in
a bubble of like minded people who they rely on
for validation and approval. They feel underpaid and expensive cities.
They delude themselves into thinking they have all they all

(04:39):
have a best seller in their head that they're going
to write at some point in time. Yeah, all of
this and most certainly true. And my experience going back
decades in dealing with the media, their inability to think,
complete reliance on the teleprompter. Again. But they get paid well, okay,

(05:01):
they get paid well at least at least the ones
that are on TV. What we're seeing now more and
more are these these same journalists that are kids that
are now taken the reins and publications, not necessarily the
rains that they're running the show, but they're writing the
columns for once great newspapers like the Wall Street Journal,

(05:24):
and for lack of a better phrase, they suck. They
don't know what they're doing. The columns are ridiculous at best.
But hey, hey again, yeah, let's let's shut down X. Right,
you can't can't allow any of that, right, Let's let's
allow these uh, let's allow these kids, these these over educated,

(05:47):
these uh, pompous, dumb, unaccomplished, and let them run the show.
