I do need to get to some other topics, 11 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,679 but I do have some field reporters still, so just 12 00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:41,840 to reset with Operation Storm Panic snowmaged in twenty twenty 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,399 five Part two, Snowman on the Street, because you can 14 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,799 never brand these storms enough, right, You got to have 15 00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:54,119 a lot of branding to separate yourself from all of 16 00:00:54,159 --> 00:00:56,880 the other media outlets that are branding their coverage. So 17 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,759 we're just like branding it in the most over the 18 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:05,079 time Operation Storm Panic snowma get in twenty twenty five 19 00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:09,120 Part two, because I believe the last one was like 20 00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:13,319 in January where we had to activate operations Snowman on 21 00:01:13,359 --> 00:01:17,879 the Street, and Snowman on the Street is where we 22 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,760 would you know, in the old days, you would go out, 23 00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:23,000 you know, reporters would walk out onto the street and 24 00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:25,680 they would go someplace and stick a mic in some 25 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,000 random person's face, ask them a question, get the sound bite, 26 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,319 and then file a report and say, you know, people 27 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,159 are saying blah blah blah and it's just one person, 28 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,519 maybe two, and like what do they know about anything? 29 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,719 But you know, you ask them some random question, some 30 00:01:39,879 --> 00:01:43,159 random person gives you the random answer, and you know, 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,480 fills the news hole. 32 00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:45,799 Speaker 1: That's all that you need to do. 33 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,959 Speaker 2: So rather than hire a bunch of attempts to go 34 00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:55,400 out onto the street and file these reports, I figured 35 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,480 let's save some money and let's just have you do 36 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,840 it free. And so I call this snowman on the 37 00:02:03,879 --> 00:02:06,920 street and so I'm going to throw it to you. 38 00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:10,199 I'm going to ask you with the toss. I'm going 39 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,360 to ask you what's the mood? Because that is the 40 00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:17,080 question that the anchors always ask, is what's the mood? 41 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,240 When they don't know what to ask, they ask what's 42 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,199 the mood there? And however you answer is up to you. 43 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,879 Reporters sometimes don't even answer the question because it's not 44 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,439 really about the question, it's just the anchor trying to 45 00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:32,400 find some question to toss it to the anchor or, 46 00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:34,280 to the reporter. So I'm gonna throw it to you. 47 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,280 I'm gonna say what's the mood? And then again I 48 00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:41,159 cannot stress this enough. You have to lock out your reports. 49 00:02:41,479 --> 00:02:43,560 If you don't lock it out, I'm not going to 50 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,840 know that you're done. And also I'm not going to 51 00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:48,439 pay you, although truth be told, I'm not paying you anyway. 52 00:02:48,719 --> 00:02:51,319 So lock out the report. If you can work in 53 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,199 some net sound that works as well. Now I do 54 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,680 have some reports. I've got a tweet here from Melissa 55 00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:01,879 who shows me a video that I cannot play on 56 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,159 the radio, but reporting white out conditions in rock Hill. 57 00:03:06,759 --> 00:03:10,800 Although the video it it just it just seems like 58 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:16,840 nothing's happening, like no snow or precipitation. So just be 59 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:24,439 safe down there in in rock Hill.

I am here at the Harris Theater store, and 211 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,000 it's a combination of just chaos and panic. 212 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:43,159 Speaker 10: You know. 213 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,759 Speaker 9: When I got here, I encountered quite a few snowflakes, 214 00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:48,759 and I found a lady who said she was a 215 00:11:49,039 --> 00:11:52,799 native Davidsonian, and she was telling me that she was 216 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,039 going to make snow cream with her eight gallons of milk. 217 00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:58,320 And just as we started talking, gentlemen came over to 218 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,720 tell her not only how to make the snow cream, 219 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,240 but also how to drive home. He said he was 220 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,720 from Michigan, and we were talking and then just panic 221 00:12:06,799 --> 00:12:10,120 broke out. He realized he had left his keys in 222 00:12:10,159 --> 00:12:13,279 his car, and so he went running out. And after 223 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,600 she and I wrapped up the conversation, I walked out 224 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,600 and a buddy of his enrolled up, and so they 225 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,639 were trying to jimmy the trunk. I walked over to 226 00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:23,679 give him some advice, and the buddy said, no, no, no, 227 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,960 I'm a union guy built these cars. And so they 228 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,080 continued to try to jimmy the door and try to 229 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,440 get into the trunk. And my concern is the tops 230 00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:35,960 down on that car and it's snowing and you're just 231 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,799 going to have all kinds of damage. But maybe maybe 232 00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:41,480 they'll get in, maybe they'll figure this out. So back 233 00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:42,279 to you, Pete. 234 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: Gosh, it's a harrowing tail. 235 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 9: Rob. 236 00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:47,919 Speaker 2: I'm glad you made it out.

But 307 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,640 I want to talk right now with Stacy Matthews. She 308 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,119 is a writer over at RedState dot com, and you 309 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,839 may know her by the handle's sister told you that 310 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,119 was Stacy Welcome if I remember correctly, wasn't that your 311 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,440 blog that you started like like a million years ago 312 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:19,000 or something. 313 00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:22,799 Speaker 1: When when the blog of sphere started up, it. 314 00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 4: Was Pete back in two thousand and three, I've been 315 00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:26,400 around a long time. 316 00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,519 Speaker 2: That's crazy, two thousand and three. I gosh, I didn't 317 00:17:29,519 --> 00:17:31,440 even think about it that long. But that does make 318 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,480 sense because I remember when when here they were like, hey, 319 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,480 we want everybody to try their hand at writing this 320 00:17:36,519 --> 00:17:37,359 thing called a blog. 321 00:17:38,759 --> 00:17:41,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, and instapundit and all those were I mean that 322 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,039 was back in the heyday. 323 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:44,839 Speaker 1: The wild West. 324 00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:47,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a wild West and a different way now, 325 00:17:47,799 --> 00:17:49,440 but I think it's kind of in a good way. 326 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. So all right, so let's talk about names. What's 327 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:53,720 in a name? 328 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,279 Speaker 2: So for people who may not be aware, tell us 329 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:04,839 what the deal is with this hullabaloo over naming the 330 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,160 Gulf of Mexico Gulf of America and how it relates 331 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:14,079 to the Associated Press being able to attend White House 332 00:18:14,079 --> 00:18:15,240 press briefings or something. 333 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,039 Speaker 4: Well, about two weeks before he was inaugurated, President Trump 334 00:18:20,079 --> 00:18:24,240 or then President elect Troump, he expressed a desire to 335 00:18:24,279 --> 00:18:28,839 rename the Gulf of Mexico Golf of America in his 336 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,599 own trumpy in way. And when he wrote, he wrote 337 00:18:31,599 --> 00:18:35,359 an executive order. He signed an executive order the very 338 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,920 first day he was back in office. And he's the 339 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,359 reason he cited was in recognition of this flourishing economic 340 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,759 resource and its critical importance to our economy, I'm directing 341 00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:49,000 that would officially be renamed Gulf of America. Two weeks later, 342 00:18:49,319 --> 00:18:51,519 he had what was called a Gulf of America Day, 343 00:18:51,519 --> 00:18:55,400 and I think he visited the region around the time 344 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,920 that he did that. But what's interesting about this is 345 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,519 that the Associated On, like other media outlets and even 346 00:19:02,519 --> 00:19:06,920 Google Maps, who has updated their information accordingly, the Associated 347 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,240 Press has not played along. They are continuing to refer 348 00:19:10,319 --> 00:19:12,519 to it as the Golf of Mexico. And they say 349 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,839 they have to do that because they serve not just 350 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,200 a primarily American audience, but an international audience because their 351 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,160 reports are picked up by you know, news outlets overseas, 352 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,440 and why not that they have to in their explanations. 353 00:19:29,519 --> 00:19:34,119 They have to use it because international audiences understand it 354 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,359 more as the Golf of Mexico. 355 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 2: Couldn't they, I don't know, maybe do a report that 356 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,279 tells people that it's now the Gulf of America. 357 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,839 Speaker 4: You would think so. But what's happened from all this 358 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,559 peat is that it's irritated Trump and he has said, well, 359 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,000 you know, we're going to restrict their access to the 360 00:19:54,039 --> 00:19:58,000 Oval Office and Air Force One going forward until they 361 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,319 start referring to it as the Gulf of Vexica Gulf 362 00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:06,039 of American. And it's kind of sort of this media 363 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,200 war with Trump saying, you know, they can't, you know, 364 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,960 the administration can't dictate terms that news outlets can use 365 00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:18,240 to in their coverage and whatnot. And while in some 366 00:20:18,319 --> 00:20:20,599 ways that's a fair point, I think there's a bigger 367 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,319 point that's being made by Trump in his own unique way, 368 00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:28,200 and this was I think, kind of done to expose 369 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,839 the bias of the press. It's not just over about 370 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,839 Golf of America, as his people in his administrative staff say, 371 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,279 the Associated Press continues to ignore the lawful geographic name 372 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,880 change of the Gulf of America. But this is not 373 00:20:42,079 --> 00:20:44,759 just about the Gulf of America. And this is according 374 00:20:44,759 --> 00:20:47,880 to Taylor Butterwitz, who is the White House Debuty Chief 375 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,160 of Staff. He says, this is about APE weaponizing language 376 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,559 through their style book to push a partisan worldview in 377 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,000 contrast with the traditional and deeply held beliefs of many 378 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,839 Americans and many people around the world. But that's what 379 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,559 this is really about. It's not just Gulf of America. 380 00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:08,240 But the Associated Press basically cowcow in to the leftist 381 00:21:08,279 --> 00:21:12,640 agenda and updating their terminology based on how it would 382 00:21:13,079 --> 00:21:15,599 help the left and their arguments. And that's what they're 383 00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:16,519 fighting again. 384 00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 2: Right, And so you mentioned the AP Stylebook, and for 385 00:21:19,519 --> 00:21:22,400 people who are unaware, the AP Style Book is sort 386 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:27,680 of the bible for all newsrooms where in journalism school 387 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,440 as well. There's another one I forget, but I think 388 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,799 it's like the Chicago Style Book or something like that. 389 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,200 And so the AP and they say like, this is 390 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,000 how you know, we are going to, for example, punctuate, 391 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,880 We're going to you know, Oxford comma, no, Oxford comma. 392 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,599 Like they make a standard rule. So everybody around the 393 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,279 world filing stories for the AP all follow a similar thing. 394 00:21:49,319 --> 00:21:52,720 And so when they drop their guidance on certain things, 395 00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:55,799 everybody kind of falls in line. All these news operations 396 00:21:55,839 --> 00:21:58,000 fall in line. And so when they start saying, you know, 397 00:21:58,039 --> 00:22:00,480 from now on, we're going to capitalize the word black 398 00:22:01,319 --> 00:22:03,880 when referring to black people, but we're not going to 399 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,880 capitalize white, right, everybody falls in line. So they obviously 400 00:22:09,319 --> 00:22:12,599 they they they do know how to rename things. I'm 401 00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:15,839 thinking also, remember was it Turkey and now they're like, no, no, no, 402 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,960 we're going to spell it and pronounce it differently. It's 403 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,799 not tra kea or something. And they added some little 404 00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:22,640 two dots or something on the end. They threw an 405 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,200 e at the end of their name, and AP followed 406 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,519 along with that. So they obviously don't have a problem 407 00:22:27,559 --> 00:22:31,680 with governments saying to them, this is how we want this, uh, 408 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,839 you know, this geographical area to be named from now on, right, 409 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:36,680 And it's. 410 00:22:36,519 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 4: Not just that peete Again, it goes back to them 411 00:22:40,599 --> 00:22:44,440 kind of changing their terminology to accommodate lest this viewpoint 412 00:22:44,519 --> 00:22:49,200 and group thanks, which they did during the uh George 413 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,279 Floyd riot or George Floyd riots when they AP actually 414 00:22:53,279 --> 00:22:55,880 put out a director or not a directive, but guidance 415 00:22:56,079 --> 00:23:02,480 suggested that riots should not be called it right because 416 00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:05,400 because in their views, sometimes they riot could have a 417 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,759 legitimate grievance, so they didn't want to riots had a 418 00:23:08,759 --> 00:23:12,920 negative connotation, a negative racial connotation, I believe was one 419 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,000 of their rationales. And another when the anytime the illegal 420 00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:22,000 immigration debate heats up, they always put out news guidance 421 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,319 about how to refer to illegal immigrants. They do not 422 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:29,359 refer to illegal immigrants as illegal immigrants. They are undocumented. 423 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 2: Citizens, yeah, or illegal aliens, which is like that's the 424 00:23:32,599 --> 00:23:33,559 legal definition. 425 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: They don't use that. They change the terms for gender. 426 00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 2: Like you read some of these stories and I can't 427 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,759 figure out who they're talking about in some cases because 428 00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:44,039 you know, somebody is identifying as they them, and the 429 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,519 man is a she and the woman is a he, 430 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,160 and it's like, I don't I can't even follow the story. 431 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,440 So they are willing yeat to only it seems go 432 00:23:52,519 --> 00:23:56,720 one direction with these types of preferences. Yet when a 433 00:23:56,799 --> 00:24:00,200 government entity or in this case the president who who 434 00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:04,680 is empowered to literally do this, then they don't want 435 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:05,799 to go along with it. 436 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: Even though any. 437 00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:09,279 Speaker 2: Other country wants to change its name or change the 438 00:24:09,319 --> 00:24:11,480 name of a body of water or something, they do 439 00:24:11,519 --> 00:24:13,440 that too. They don't call it the Yellow River in 440 00:24:13,559 --> 00:24:16,440 China anymore, right they China doesn't want to call that. 441 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: They call it something else. 442 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,599 Speaker 4: Now, right right? And you know, PTE. The funny thing 443 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,519 about this is is, you know, and I think you 444 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,279 probably would agree with me on this. This is not 445 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,599 the hill that most conservatives would die on, you know. 446 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,440 I mean, like, if the AP is going to call 447 00:24:31,519 --> 00:24:35,119 them Gulf of Mexico. That's fine, but I think again, 448 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,200 in Trump's own way, this was his way of once 449 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,599 again exposing the bias of the media. I mean, you know, 450 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,680 there's a larger point beyond Gulf of America. It's that 451 00:24:45,799 --> 00:24:49,200 the Associated Press, whenever it comes to leftist dogma, they 452 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,200 are perfectly willing to comply. But when the President of 453 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,599 the United States is a Republican and he takes an 454 00:24:54,599 --> 00:24:58,079 official action to remain something, then all of a sudden, 455 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,680 not to fat yeah, that's this is and I don't, 456 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,480 I don't. This is probably going to go to a judge. 457 00:25:05,519 --> 00:25:07,920 As I wrote in a piece for RedState dot Com, 458 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,680 It's probably going to go to a judge. But again, 459 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,720 the larger, the larger point here, beyond whatever a judge 460 00:25:13,799 --> 00:25:17,559 or courtroom that decides, is that the Associated Press is 461 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:22,039 biased and people should read their stories with that thought 462 00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:22,480 in mind. 463 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: Right, No, you're exactly right, Stacy Matthews. 464 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,039 Speaker 2: The name of the piece, by the way, that she 465 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,359 wrote over at RedState dot Com is isn't just about 466 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,319 Gulf of America. 467 00:25:31,319 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: Trump White House elaborates. 468 00:25:32,599 --> 00:25:35,279 Speaker 2: On dispute with the AP and it makes perfect sense 469 00:25:35,759 --> 00:25:38,160 RedState dot Com. Stacy, thanks so much. For your time today. 470 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,440 Good to talk with you.

Did 480 00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:05,240 you ever get them transferred? And then the room gets 481 00:26:05,279 --> 00:26:08,799 all quiet. All eyes are on dad, who says, oh, 482 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,920 you know, well, I've been meaning to but I just 483 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,920 having gotten around to it. Look, don't let those priceless 484 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,880 memories sit in a box for another year, all right. 485 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,839 Create a Video has been helping families in the Charlotte 486 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,680 area preserve their history since nineteen ninety seven.

And next year, instead of talking 491 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,240 about those memories, imagine gathering the family to watch them 492 00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:42,440 together talk about a memorable gift. 493 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,799 Speaker 1: So do what I did. Trust the experts at Creative. 494 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 2: Video, conveniently located in mint Hill right off I four 495 00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:52,240 eighty five and online at create a video dot com. 496 00:26:52,839 --> 00:26:53,039 Speaker 1: Yeah. 497 00:26:53,079 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 2: So about the renaming of things, I saw a post 498 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:03,640 over here. Yeah, David Harsani from The Washington Examiner. He 499 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,839 points out the fact that the AP, the Associated Press, 500 00:27:08,079 --> 00:27:12,640 is taking a first First Amendment free speech stand on 501 00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:19,559 the Gulf of America, a completely innocuous and legal name change. 502 00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:24,519 That this is rich considering it took editorial notes from 503 00:27:24,599 --> 00:27:31,680 Hamas right, which they did. AP had a bureau over there, 504 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,640 and the only way they were able to get stories 505 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,680 out is if Hamas cleared them. So I don't know 506 00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:44,559 if we should be taking our lead from the Associated Press. 507 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,480 And I also happened to be watching the Megan Kelly 508 00:27:49,519 --> 00:27:55,319 Show on YouTube and she and Michael Knowles were talking 509 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,920 about this. I think Michael Knowles from Daily Wire, I 510 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,799 think this was in their discussion, and she pointed out 511 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,319 made a very good point. I thought that the AP 512 00:28:05,599 --> 00:28:09,160 had a front row seat, literally in the White House 513 00:28:09,319 --> 00:28:15,839 press briefing room to the declining cognitive abilities of our 514 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:21,000 president for all the good that did the American people, right, 515 00:28:21,519 --> 00:28:24,039 truth to power and all of that. You had a 516 00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:28,160 front row seat and you saw this man's performance and 517 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:34,799 you never thought to inform the citizenry that their president 518 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,680 was in mental decline. Is that because you didn't notice it? 519 00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:42,000 Or is it because you did notice it and you 520 00:28:42,039 --> 00:28:46,400 were hoping that we did not? Either way, either way, 521 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,680 I don't think you have the credentials. Let's say you 522 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,920 don't have the gravitas any longer. 523 00:28:54,039 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: You don't. 524 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,759 Speaker 2: You don't have the reputation that people are going to 525 00:28:56,799 --> 00:28:58,920 go to the mat to defend you on this stuff 526 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:06,000 because you have so besmirched yourself besmirched I say. I 527 00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:09,720 mentioned a couple other examples with Stacy, the the you know, 528 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,279 the rewriting of the language for gender identity stuff, right, 529 00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:19,279 the rewriting of the language and the redefinition of illegal 530 00:29:19,319 --> 00:29:23,680 alien to undocumented immigrant to you know, all the various 531 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,680 permutations now migrants, asylum seekers, everything, like all these other words. Right, 532 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,000 because they make some editorial determination. And when you hear 533 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,160 editorial that means opinion. Right, it is in their opinion, 534 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,240 and they want you to believe them and go along 535 00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:46,400 with them because of a reputational I don't know, a 536 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,240 reputational credit that they've got, Like they've built up this 537 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:55,720 balance of reputation in their account and they think that 538 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,279 it's all still there, but it's not anymore. Right you're 539 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,759 using in this. This happens so often I forget who 540 00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:03,799 it is that said it. It might have been David Berg, 541 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:09,559 but I forget that. What the left does is they 542 00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:12,799 get into these institutions, they hollow them out, and then 543 00:30:12,839 --> 00:30:17,599 they walk around in a skin suit basically of the 544 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:22,200 institution and demand the respect that the institution and the 545 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,559 people that built it had required. Right, they demand you 546 00:30:27,079 --> 00:30:31,839 pay fealty to this institutional reputation that no longer exists 547 00:30:31,839 --> 00:30:34,799 because it's been hollowed out. The people that gave it 548 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:39,319 that reputation are no longer there, right, The ethos that 549 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,039 guided the institution is no longer applied. It's all been 550 00:30:43,079 --> 00:30:46,400 hollowed out, and you're walking around in its skin suit 551 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,319 and you're like, I have respect, respect me. Look at 552 00:30:50,359 --> 00:30:53,759 my history. We have a long tradition of blah blah blah. Yeah, 553 00:30:53,799 --> 00:30:57,720 but you ruined it, you hollowed it out. Right, What 554 00:30:57,839 --> 00:31:01,039 the wolf in sheep's clothing has to kill the sheep 555 00:31:01,039 --> 00:31:03,440 in order to get the clothing, right. They don't just 556 00:31:03,519 --> 00:31:05,759 sell sheep clothing at the wolf store down there. I 557 00:31:05,759 --> 00:31:08,720 guess it might be the sheep store actually, and now 558 00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:10,599 that I think about it, they do sell wool clothing, 559 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,440 but or maybe the wolf goes to like one of 560 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,880 those pop up Halloween stores. 561 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. 562 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,599 Speaker 2: I'm just saying, usually there's some killing of a sheep involved, 563 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,880 and that's what this is, and that's what the people 564 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,680 at the AP are doing. And it's said because we 565 00:31:23,839 --> 00:31:26,160 used to be able to rely on the associated press. 566 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,519 Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you 567 00:31:29,599 --> 00:31:30,559 so much for listening. 568 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,799 Speaker 2: I could not do the show without your support and 569 00:31:32,839 --> 00:31:35,559 the support of the businesses that advertise on the podcast, 570 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,000 so if you'd like, please support them too and tell 571 00:31:38,039 --> 00:31:39,759 them you heard it here.
