00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919
<v Speaker 1>This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI

2
00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839
<v Speaker 1>AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand

3
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:09.560
<v Speaker 1>on the iHeartRadio app. Don't shoot the messenger. But but

4
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:12.720
<v Speaker 1>for the third day, cocaine is in the news.

5
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:13.000
<v Speaker 2>No.

6
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that flunky secret Service director who is now in

7
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>a closet somewhere with Debbie Wasserman. She threw out that

8
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>cocaine that was found at the White House last year,

9
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.079
<v Speaker 1>and apparently her subordinates were like, no, we need to

10
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.520
<v Speaker 1>keep that. And there's a partial DNA profile and it matches.

11
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 1>We've got hits in the national database. We could probably

12
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:41.200
<v Speaker 1>track down where that cocaine came from. And she said, no,

13
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 1>we're tossing it.

14
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's a reason why we keep it.

15
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yes, she was horrible at her job. What else

16
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>did she sandbag?

17
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 4>It's a very it was Hey, listen once you start.

18
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 4>And I think part of it is recency bias. You've

19
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 4>had cocaine on the mind so much lately that probably

20
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:01.880
<v Speaker 4>you're attracted to those headlines.

21
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so, you don't think so. But maybe

22
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.959
<v Speaker 1>my computer's listening and dishes me those headlines.

23
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 4>It is very possible, man, It's going to be a

24
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.280
<v Speaker 4>rough weekend in Georgia, South and North Carolina.

25
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:15.239
<v Speaker 3>They're talking about this.

26
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 4>What was Hurricane Debbie now tropical Storm Debbie just continuing

27
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:21.480
<v Speaker 4>to sit there and churn off the coast.

28
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh and it's wreaking havage havage. It's wreaking havoc. What

29
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>is havage havoc? It's a freaking havoc on flights throughout

30
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.359
<v Speaker 1>the country because of that ripple effect that we talked

31
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 1>about happening.

32
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 4>Ooh, and another we haven't done a lot of I

33
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 4>should say we have done a lot of these, but

34
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.560
<v Speaker 4>not as many dam stories as we have cocaine stories.

35
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 4>But in Colton County, South Carolina, the McGrady dam is

36
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 4>about to break. Now, We've seen these before and they've

37
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:55.040
<v Speaker 4>not materialized. I'm not wishing for a dam to break

38
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.799
<v Speaker 4>usually that's not great news. But Coleton County Fire Rescue

39
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.920
<v Speaker 4>officials again in South Carolina, say that the McGrady dam

40
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.760
<v Speaker 4>is currently holding, but that there is substantial flooding in

41
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 4>the area of the dam and the creek that resulted

42
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 4>in a couple of roads being closed, ringing the beavers.

43
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.479
<v Speaker 4>That's going to be more than beavers, more than more.

44
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>You're going to need more than several beavers.

45
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:18.800
<v Speaker 3>You're going to need a bigger boat.

46
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, the Democrats had their coming out party in that

47
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 1>rally in Pennsylvania, and wow, what a coming out party

48
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>it was. The crowd was electric. This guy, Tim Walls,

49
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 1>the jacket does not match the book.

50
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 3>Welcome the next Vice President of the United States, Tim Wall.

51
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>And she's able to just stand behind him and smile

52
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>while he's the attack dog. It's perfectly strategized. This whole

53
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 1>optic that the Democrats have right now is really good,

54
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 1>and it's all hiding the ball. It's a freaking shell game. Gus,

55
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 1>what it is?

56
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 4>I heard somebody reference this this morning, and I hadn't

57
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.599
<v Speaker 4>heard it put this way, But it makes perfect sense

58
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 4>that a lot of times, you know, we talk about

59
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.080
<v Speaker 4>the demographic choice for a vice president to cover some

60
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 4>bases that the presidential candidate doesn't cover. Geographic choices, Maybe

61
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.560
<v Speaker 4>there's a swing state that you need and that person

62
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.520
<v Speaker 4>represents that swing state, something along those lines, or even

63
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 4>god forbid, there'd be a policy difference or a policy

64
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 4>weakness that a presidential candidate has that a vice presidential

65
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:27.919
<v Speaker 4>candidate would be able to fill in in this The

66
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 4>way I saw it or heard it put this morning

67
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 4>was you pick somebody who is going to do the

68
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 4>dirty work for you so that you can keep your

69
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:39.400
<v Speaker 4>nose clean.

70
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>They learned from Hillary Clinton, didn't they? You cannot have

71
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>an angry woman at a podium. It doesn't play, and

72
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>this is the way to do it.

73
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:53.639
<v Speaker 4>So here here was Coach Tim Walls, Governor speaking at

74
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 4>that rally last night in Pennsylvania.

75
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:55.840
<v Speaker 5>JD.

76
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.639
<v Speaker 6>Vans literally literally wrote the foreword for.

77
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.759
<v Speaker 2>The arc TechEd of the Project twenty twenty five agenda.

78
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.919
<v Speaker 4>Okay, now that was confusing when I heard it, I

79
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:08.400
<v Speaker 4>had to I had to look it up.

80
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:09.000
<v Speaker 3>JD.

81
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 4>Vance wrote a forward for a book, a fictional book

82
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.160
<v Speaker 4>by a guy who works at the Heritage Foundation. Heritage

83
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 4>Foundation was responsible for this Project twenty twenty five piece

84
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:24.279
<v Speaker 4>that came out that has completely blown up. The Trump

85
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.319
<v Speaker 4>campaign has completely disavowed Project twenty twenty five, but they

86
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.560
<v Speaker 4>are still using it, which is okay. I mean, it's

87
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.759
<v Speaker 4>a political game, and a lot of stuff goes in

88
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 4>political manners.

89
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 6>Like all regular people I grew up with in the Heartland,

90
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 6>JD studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon

91
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 6>Valley billionaires and then wrote a bestseller trashing that community.

92
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.680
<v Speaker 3>Come on, did he trash it in the book?

93
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 2>That's not is?

94
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean?

95
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:55.279
<v Speaker 3>There, I got it.

96
00:04:55.480 --> 00:05:00.319
<v Speaker 1>There were some moments where the Appalachian families and wasn't

97
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>a good look. But that's just because the money evaporated

98
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>from those communities, you know, the old mining communities, things

99
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 1>like that. The business dried up. So what happens when

100
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 1>you have people without jobs, you have drug use, you

101
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>have Loserville sometimes.

102
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 4>And he described in the way that I've seen I've

103
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 4>not read the book, so correct me if I'm wrong,

104
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:23.279
<v Speaker 4>that part of it is sort of a doom loop,

105
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 4>sort of a spiral where other families caught in the

106
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 4>same circumstances that you are, look down on you. If

107
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.360
<v Speaker 4>you try to get out of it, they look down

108
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.360
<v Speaker 4>on you if you try to reach past you know,

109
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 4>your circumstances and maybe do better, like go to Yale.

110
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:45.160
<v Speaker 1>The takeaway for me from that book was that these

111
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 1>are communities that feel forgotten by the elite circles that

112
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>run the political game in this country.

113
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:53.720
<v Speaker 4>And then he goes and becomes a member of the

114
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 4>political elite by going to Yale. I just it was

115
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 4>something that kind of feel it's a funny line, but

116
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 4>it kind of fell flat. Well, there's more of this

117
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:02.720
<v Speaker 4>because he gets into.

118
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:03.319
<v Speaker 3>The couch thing.

119
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 4>It's silliness. And then believe I want the sex with

120
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.720
<v Speaker 4>the couch thing to go to bed. Well, it's right wrong,

121
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:13.800
<v Speaker 4>it's dumb.

122
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.759
<v Speaker 1>And you know what's glaring to me listening to that

123
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>rally is that the Democrats are done playing fair, They're

124
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 1>done playing nice. They've taken the mantle of name calling

125
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.399
<v Speaker 1>and blow blows and they're running with that ball as well.

126
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:32.360
<v Speaker 1>And we are done of the days of George H. W.

127
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.839
<v Speaker 1>Bush and Bill Clinton being polite to each other and

128
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.480
<v Speaker 1>passing off the Oval office with cute little notes. And

129
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:40.959
<v Speaker 1>I just don't agree with him. He's a good man,

130
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>but I don't agree with him. We are so done

131
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:44.199
<v Speaker 1>with that in this country.

132
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:46.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to rehash history.

133
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 4>But I'm looking for an email, specifically from May of

134
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:51.959
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty, and I was just going through in the

135
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 4>break and found I found an email that says nearly

136
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:59.839
<v Speaker 4>two thirds of consumers say they will resume some normal activities.

137
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:01.959
<v Speaker 1>Why are you doing that?

138
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.720
<v Speaker 4>It's just a thing, It's just a reminder like this

139
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.480
<v Speaker 4>weird time capsule that we we've talked about weird COVID

140
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.560
<v Speaker 4>crap that we were in and we were waiting for

141
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 4>people to quote resume some normal activities we have.

142
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 1>How did we not drive off of a client? Know

143
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.879
<v Speaker 1>we have collective PTSD from that that had it has

144
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.439
<v Speaker 1>not been dealt with. You know, you and I got

145
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>through it. I think just coming in here every day

146
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.319
<v Speaker 1>and talking about it and trying to make sense of things.

147
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh but could you imagine if you were just hold

148
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.959
<v Speaker 1>up in your home and how about this and not

149
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.120
<v Speaker 1>doing normal The datified.

<v Speaker 4>team to week number nine, shelter at home.

152
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Stop it, stop the spread.

153
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.480
<v Speaker 4>We were talking about Governor Tim Wallas, the new vice

154
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 4>presidential candidate. Of course, who is It was introduced to

155
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 4>the world last night. Still a lot of people do

156
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:05.839
<v Speaker 4>not know him. And like you said, the book does

157
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.160
<v Speaker 4>not match the jacket. In this case, it does. Very

158
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.800
<v Speaker 4>progressive governor who speaks like your old high school football coach.

159
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:15.800
<v Speaker 3>That's not what Middle America is.

160
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:18.680
<v Speaker 2>And I gotta tell you, I.

161
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:19.959
<v Speaker 3>Can't wait to debate the guy.

162
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.120
<v Speaker 4>Okay, it's gonna be a good debate. I want to

163
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.439
<v Speaker 4>move it forward. There's a good ten to fifteen seconds

164
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 4>of cheering there. He says, I want to. I can't

165
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.720
<v Speaker 4>wait to debate the guy, that is.

166
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 2>If he's willing to get off the couch and show up.

167
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:38.799
<v Speaker 1>So couch joke, just to be clear, was made up.

168
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.000
<v Speaker 4>The whole thing about him having sex with a couch

169
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.240
<v Speaker 4>was a complete internet joke that people now. Don't get

170
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker 4>me wrong, it was funny, but people now think it

171
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.960
<v Speaker 4>was like, well he really wrote that in a book.

172
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.559
<v Speaker 1>Some you can only get so much mileage out of

173
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:57.360
<v Speaker 1>a masturbation joke. Well tell that, and when you're a

174
00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:01.440
<v Speaker 1>dude like that, an old dude doing a masturbation Joe,

175
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to. I had no bandwidth for that.

176
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.559
<v Speaker 1>It's not funny. I don't want to associate you, Tim

177
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Walls with any sort of emissions. It's true.

178
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:17.559
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to play this for you because I wanted

179
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.679
<v Speaker 4>to get your reaction. He was a linebackers coach and

180
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.240
<v Speaker 4>a defensive coordinator for a high school football.

181
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.080
<v Speaker 2>So were you a position coach offensive guy as a

182
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 2>defensive coordinator?

183
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, what'd you run? Yeah, we ran a four to

184
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:29.440
<v Speaker 3>four where we read guards.

185
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.360
<v Speaker 2>At the time, I had really good athletes and good

186
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:33.639
<v Speaker 2>linebackers are your corners.

187
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:35.320
<v Speaker 6>They were good.

188
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.559
<v Speaker 3>That was an age when I was coaching that. You know,

189
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:40.679
<v Speaker 3>it was unusual to see.

190
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:43.240
<v Speaker 2>A twenty five hundred to three thousand yard pastor on

191
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:44.600
<v Speaker 2>the other side, but it was starting.

192
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:46.759
<v Speaker 3>To come along. So they were running the ball a lot. Yeah,

193
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.320
<v Speaker 3>your reaction, I'm just kidding.

194
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I have no reaction to that. I mean, that's that's

195
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>very like. I mean, I love a high school football coach.

196
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I love all football coach is when they can get

197
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>into that headspace of talking football and being motivational. There's

198
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:12.559
<v Speaker 1>nothing political on that. Hopefully there's nothing political football. And

199
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.519
<v Speaker 1>I knew that's the guy we were going to get.

200
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday at their rally, I was I was saying, you know,

201
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.799
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be the football coach. Wells, that's

202
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>what you're going to get. And that's what Kamala Harris

203
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.600
<v Speaker 1>kept referring to him as and walls.

204
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.799
<v Speaker 3>I think that is brilliantly political.

205
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's so smart. Everything they're doing is so smart

206
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 1>and so strategic, and it's just it's very much the

207
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris brand.

208
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:36.039
<v Speaker 3>Strategic.

209
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.360
<v Speaker 4>Yes, there's a couple of things I wanted to point

210
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.480
<v Speaker 4>out we'll come back and do this regarding how you

211
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:44.840
<v Speaker 4>define the Midwest. Right again, this is not a race

212
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:48.240
<v Speaker 4>between JD. Vance and Tim Walls, but there is some

213
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.799
<v Speaker 4>value in finding out the difference between these two guys

214
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:53.639
<v Speaker 4>and the piece I think was in Politico today where

215
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:57.120
<v Speaker 4>they referred to Tim Walls as comfort food for some

216
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:00.519
<v Speaker 4>of the same things you're explaining, like football, high school

217
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:04.960
<v Speaker 4>football coach. The vast majority of us have positive memories

218
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.200
<v Speaker 4>of a high school football right. It's regardless of whether

219
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.600
<v Speaker 4>they were mean to us or not, you look back

220
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.919
<v Speaker 4>and think they helped shape that person.

221
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Right. World War three is about to break out.

222
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:22.200
<v Speaker 4>Dramatic video now shows Ukrainian jets and troops burging into Russia.

223
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.679
<v Speaker 4>Vladimir Putin has told members of the Russian government the

224
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 4>Kiev regime has launched another major provocation. Putin has accused

225
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:35.320
<v Speaker 4>Ukrainian forces of firing indiscriminately at civilian targets. There is

226
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.080
<v Speaker 4>some concern also that there is a key nuclear plant

227
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.759
<v Speaker 4>in that area that the Ukrainians may try to take.

228
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:47.039
<v Speaker 1>Planning for the twenty twenty eight LA Olympics as well underway.

229
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:51.120
<v Speaker 1>That's going to be interesting, isn't it. Are they going

230
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:52.960
<v Speaker 1>to clean this place up? We're going to have to

231
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.960
<v Speaker 1>do a regular Olympics update. Are they going to pour

232
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>all the billions of dollars more into that? People mover lax?

233
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.559
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, people move her. They're going to clean up

234
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.639
<v Speaker 4>the river. They're going to do the river. It's not

235
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.120
<v Speaker 4>a river, it is it's not a river.

236
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:10.440
<v Speaker 3>You're so closed minded.

237
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:18.480
<v Speaker 4>We're talking about the big introduction. Last night, Kamala Harris

238
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 4>of course introduces her vice presidential running mate, Governor Tim

239
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:24.919
<v Speaker 4>Wallas of Minnesota. And for a lot of people, it's

240
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.039
<v Speaker 4>the first time they've here heard this guy speak. And

241
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.399
<v Speaker 4>to be honest, I mean he's a he's a good speaker.

242
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.840
<v Speaker 3>He he fit that or he met that moment last night.

243
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.200
<v Speaker 4>I hate to use that term, but but he came

244
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:46.120
<v Speaker 4>from small town Nebraska, right. He has a medium sized

245
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.639
<v Speaker 4>state in the Midwest that he's been the governor of

246
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.000
<v Speaker 4>and he goes into this arena with thousands of people

247
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:53.759
<v Speaker 4>and knocks it out of the park.

248
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota strengths comes from our values, our commitment to working together,

249
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:02.440
<v Speaker 2>to seeing pastor differences, to always being willing to lend

250
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.200
<v Speaker 2>a helping hand. Those are the same values I learned

251
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.440
<v Speaker 2>on the family farm and tried to instill.

252
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:08.559
<v Speaker 1>In my students, lean it into it.

253
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:09.159
<v Speaker 3>I took it to.

254
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Congress and to the state Capitol, and now Vice President

255
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Harris and I are running to take those very values

256
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:18.360
<v Speaker 2>to the White House now, which.

257
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:19.679
<v Speaker 3>Is fine, I understand that.

258
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:23.279
<v Speaker 4>But you find me a farmer in Nebraska who wants

259
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:27.080
<v Speaker 4>to put tampons in boys' restrooms. Or find me one

260
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:28.919
<v Speaker 4>farmer in Nebraska.

261
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>One farmer who may have a successful farm and maybe

262
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.399
<v Speaker 1>his neighbor does not, and taking the successful farmer's money

263
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.240
<v Speaker 1>and giving it to the neighbor who doesn't know how

264
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:39.919
<v Speaker 1>to use water.

265
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.200
<v Speaker 4>The guy with the two cows, you take one of

266
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:44.440
<v Speaker 4>his successful cows and give it to the other guy,

267
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.600
<v Speaker 4>simply because he doesn't.

268
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Have one socialism for everybody on this farm. He is

269
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.200
<v Speaker 1>not what he appears, is not. You got to do

270
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:54.759
<v Speaker 1>your research and the Republicans and Trump, I don't know

271
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:57.480
<v Speaker 1>if he's going to be able to do this to

272
00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:00.840
<v Speaker 1>drill down on the policy points, or if he's just

273
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:05.120
<v Speaker 1>going to name call and go wild with conspiracy theories

274
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.799
<v Speaker 1>like he did last night on Truth Social when he

275
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.960
<v Speaker 1>made this rant about Joe Biden's going to come back

276
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and steal the election.

277
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:14.320
<v Speaker 3>I love that.

278
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:15.639
<v Speaker 1>My God, could.

279
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.679
<v Speaker 3>You imagine you'll just storming into the United Center.

280
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:23.000
<v Speaker 1>You don't need the conspiracy theories, the Republicans don't. All

281
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:26.320
<v Speaker 1>they need to do is drill down on what these

282
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.600
<v Speaker 1>two stand for. It's because it'll terrify the people in

283
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:32.360
<v Speaker 1>the middle and probably the economy.

284
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:34.799
<v Speaker 3>It's the economy. It's the economy.

285
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.840
<v Speaker 4>Remember at the National Association of Black Journalists, when when

286
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:40.399
<v Speaker 4>Trump started getting into well she was Indian and I

287
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 4>don't know when she turned black or whatever, all he

288
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:45.279
<v Speaker 4>started talking about the ecologation.

289
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.559
<v Speaker 1>Just just sit there, stick to that.

290
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.120
<v Speaker 3>That's all you got to Let everybody else make their

291
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.480
<v Speaker 3>own decisions about her or whatever him is.

292
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Because right now the Democrats are putting on a hell

293
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:58.879
<v Speaker 1>of a show. They are shiny, they are exuberant, they've

294
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>got momentum, they've got passion. But they're not talking about

295
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:04.360
<v Speaker 1>what their plans are.

296
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.600
<v Speaker 3>So there's a couple of pieces today that I saw.

297
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:09.360
<v Speaker 4>One of them was in the Washington Post and it

298
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.080
<v Speaker 4>was a question about what is the Midwest? And these

299
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:14.240
<v Speaker 4>guys are going to argue Jade Vance and Tim Walls

300
00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:17.039
<v Speaker 4>are going to argue, well, I'm Midwest. No, No, I'm Midwest.

301
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:21.639
<v Speaker 4>And a difference between the geographic what the Census Bureau

302
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 4>considers the Midwest, which does include Ohio and Minnesota. But

303
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:30.080
<v Speaker 4>what people if you were to ask people what they

304
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:36.159
<v Speaker 4>consider the Midwest, like, oh, why would they waste Washington

305
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:39.519
<v Speaker 4>Post inc On an article about what is the Midwest?

306
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:41.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you just crumpled that up because I was

307
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:43.480
<v Speaker 1>going to jump across the desk and do the same

308
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:47.279
<v Speaker 1>thing that's asinin. Also there to show party unity was

309
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Josh Shapiro, who got passed over to be the running

310
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:57.000
<v Speaker 1>mate for Kamala Harris, and he sounds eerily similar to

311
00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Barack Obama. Yeah, we'll play some of his stuff when

312
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:00.000
<v Speaker 1>we come back.

313
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.360
<v Speaker 4>I just want to also say that the other the

314
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:06.600
<v Speaker 4>second piece was from Politico where they described Tim Walls

315
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:09.759
<v Speaker 4>as comfort food because when you look at him as

316
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:13.840
<v Speaker 4>the football coach, the farmer, the Midwest guy, kind of,

317
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, no nonsense, willing to call out bad guys

318
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:22.039
<v Speaker 4>that he's the He's probably not wearing his sergeant's chevrons

319
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:24.639
<v Speaker 4>or bearing a coach's whistle over his neck, but his

320
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.000
<v Speaker 4>remarks make clear that he intends to run on his

321
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:31.279
<v Speaker 4>biography and regular bloke style, not his progressive legacy.

322
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:33.759
<v Speaker 1>And that's all the cover of the book, right, that's

323
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.559
<v Speaker 1>the pretty jacket that makes you feel good. And then

324
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.159
<v Speaker 1>you get to page twelve and little boys have tampons

325
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:40.480
<v Speaker 1>in their bathroom.

326
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.480
<v Speaker 5>So didn't the coach there just go up for dad

327
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.720
<v Speaker 5>vance for lifting himself up out of poverty and going

328
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:51.919
<v Speaker 5>Yale and making something of himself. Yes, that's funny because

329
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:53.960
<v Speaker 5>I thought that's why kids went to school was to study,

330
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:56.840
<v Speaker 5>work hard, go to good college. They're going to come

331
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:02.720
<v Speaker 5>after Gary's daughter next for being smart, all right, But and.

332
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:05.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that was my point was it was a funny line.

333
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:07.720
<v Speaker 4>Like all my friends they went together.

334
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, Kamala Harris's father was a Stanford at Econ professor

335
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:19.359
<v Speaker 1>and her mother was a scientist, brilliant who had several

336
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:23.440
<v Speaker 1>advances or helped several advances in breast cancer research.

337
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:25.839
<v Speaker 4>They're not and even those two are not from the

338
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:27.839
<v Speaker 4>same place, even though they want to tell you they're

339
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:28.759
<v Speaker 4>from the same place.

340
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:29.960
<v Speaker 3>That's what's great.

341
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.759
<v Speaker 4>I mean, Kamala Harris kept saying the words only in

342
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:34.000
<v Speaker 4>America last night.

343
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:35.720
<v Speaker 3>That was her thing. Only in America.

344
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:39.799
<v Speaker 4>Would I having grown up in Oakland and Canada, team

345
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:43.279
<v Speaker 4>up with this guy who grew up in Nebraska and Minnesota.

346
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:46.680
<v Speaker 1>That's what every ticket is. That's the way it should be.

347
00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:48.799
<v Speaker 1>That's what makes us great. Yeah, what we are.

348
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.880
<v Speaker 4>Yes, there's a weird, weird thing going on with Josh Shapiro.

349
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.279
<v Speaker 1>He must have just studied the hell out of Barack

350
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:58.799
<v Speaker 1>Obama because the cadence is uncanny.

351
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.400
<v Speaker 3>From the Daily Show. By the way, Ronnie.

352
00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:05.319
<v Speaker 7>Chang, listen to this guy speak, because I mean, is

353
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:07.839
<v Speaker 7>he is he doing an Obama?

354
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:08.960
<v Speaker 3>This again?

355
00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:14.240
<v Speaker 4>The Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro super cut with former President Obama.

356
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:18.279
<v Speaker 2>You could not have a clear contrast between Kama Harris

357
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:19.319
<v Speaker 2>and Donald Trump.

358
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:22.359
<v Speaker 1>You deserve better than somebody who's just trying to make

359
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.720
<v Speaker 1>a quick buck, somebody willing to say anything to get attention.

360
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.880
<v Speaker 3>You deserve somebody who knows you. Let me tell you something.

361
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:31.440
<v Speaker 3>He's pretty afraid.

362
00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:34.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah see, he's backing.

363
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Out of the debate.

364
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.079
<v Speaker 4>Now, he's afraid to stand toe to toe with our

365
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.480
<v Speaker 4>vice president now. He actually to me, also sounds a

366
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:43.319
<v Speaker 4>little bit like uh, Gavenussom Gavin Newsom.

367
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my husband said the same thing, a.

368
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Little growley at times like Avenusom.

369
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:49.400
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Let's also talk about Gavin Newsom and

370
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:52.240
<v Speaker 1>how pissed off he is. He's been lost in all

371
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:52.640
<v Speaker 1>of this.

372
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:53.720
<v Speaker 3>I thought about that.

373
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're crowning people. They were frothing at the

374
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:01.680
<v Speaker 1>mouth over Josh Shapiro. Walls and hairs were yesterday. I mean,

375
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>that must be what happens when you get passed over.

376
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:07.319
<v Speaker 1>But it was just like frothing about what a wonderful

377
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.039
<v Speaker 1>person is. He's the future of the party. And somewhere

378
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:13.799
<v Speaker 1>Gavin Newsom is sitting in his underwear, just pissed off,

379
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:16.160
<v Speaker 1>red faced, crying and combing his hair.

380
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:18.519
<v Speaker 4>All I can do is talk about a fire that

381
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:20.160
<v Speaker 4>burning half of my state.

382
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:23.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if Obama asked him for his certificate.

383
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:28.759
<v Speaker 7>I'm like, wait, are you me? At this point, it

384
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:31.039
<v Speaker 7>could be smart for Harris to pick him. I mean

385
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:33.960
<v Speaker 7>she could be like, hey, Trump, you think I'm pretending

386
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:35.200
<v Speaker 7>to be black, Well check.

387
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:35.599
<v Speaker 3>Out my VP.

388
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.279
<v Speaker 1>That's good. He's funny, all right.

389
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.039
<v Speaker 3>The one thing that is not well.

390
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:48.279
<v Speaker 4>Donald Trump then tried to use the I don't even

391
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:49.680
<v Speaker 4>know how to pronounce what he thinks.

392
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:53.519
<v Speaker 1>This is comeab bluh. It's silly. It's just stupid. It's

393
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:56.359
<v Speaker 1>a bad look. Just stick to the tampons in the

394
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.119
<v Speaker 1>boy's bathrooms. That will be more successful than stupid. A

395
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:04.160
<v Speaker 1>calling just the economy or in the economy. Stick sit

396
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:07.680
<v Speaker 1>in the economy, Sit in that money and tampons. That's

397
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:08.200
<v Speaker 1>your lane.

398
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:11.680
<v Speaker 3>I think more money. You've been listening to The Gary
