It is a good day NPR and PBS. 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,359 The vote came down early this morning in the Senate 11 00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:40,560 to defund them, finally fulfilling a wish of conservative and 12 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:48,000 Republican and libertarian citizens for decades. And of course this 13 00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:49,560 is all now the end of the world. I'm not 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,240 going to spend much more time on this, but at 15 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,439 the end of the last hour we had a call 16 00:00:54,479 --> 00:01:00,520 from Brian, who I don't really know the point of it. 17 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,319 How he wanted to complain about warning systems or something 18 00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:07,599 in Texas but whatever, and so Mark has called in 19 00:01:08,599 --> 00:01:10,719 with reply, Hello, Mark, welcome to the show. 20 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,719 Speaker 2: What's going on? I couldn't couldn't help, but I want 21 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,120 to make fun of Mark. I mean, sorry, make fun 22 00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:23,840 of Brian. There, he didn't he couldn't tell his hand 23 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,680 from his ass there. Oh my god, Oh yeah, he's 24 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,519 a primiple of what of how roles are I? 25 00:01:31,599 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: Can't you mark? Your signal is dropping in and out? 26 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,159 It sounds like you're are you walking someplace? Are you driving? 27 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,519 Speaker 2: Can you uh not trying to give you a Verizon 28 00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:44,120 commercial book? 29 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,159 Speaker 1: Can you hear me now? Right now? 30 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:52,159 Speaker 2: It's clear okay, Yeah, they've got this checklist to where 31 00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:54,079 when they hear something, they have to look at their 32 00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:56,560 checklist to see if it's something that they believe in, 33 00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:00,359 and the and and and the right column how to 34 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,519 respond to it as opposed to I mean, it's clear 35 00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:05,319 as day he wouldn't let you think the way you 36 00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:08,560 wanted to think. If you want to be a little 37 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,639 bit liberal here, a little bit Republican there, he's trying 38 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,879 to say that that's not a good thing. You have 39 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,680 to go by one column whatever that column says. And 40 00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:19,520 those are the kind of morons that hold us back. 41 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree. And that's the very thing that 42 00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:26,159 they accuse Trump supporters of doing. And I look, I 43 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,919 recognize that that makes it difficult for people like Brian 44 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,080 when trying to argue with me that they can't put 45 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,080 me in a box. It makes it difficult for them. 46 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,919 I am sympathetic to that, but that's not going to 47 00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:45,280 prompt me to now abandon principles or opinions and say 48 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,599 I have to now align with this political party or 49 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,400 this political leader. I have to agree with everything they say. 50 00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:55,520 I've never thought that way, and I think that's a problem, 51 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,080 and it's a problem in the Democrat Party. They're saying 52 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,240 this themselves party leadership, saying these purity tests are killing 53 00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:05,960 us in the Democrat Party. 54 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's comical how they how they don't they don't 55 00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:11,439 hear themselves speak when they speak. They can't tell the 56 00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:13,960 content of what they're of what they're saying. They can't 57 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,879 analyze of how stupid they sound when they're saying whatever 58 00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:19,360 they're saying, especially Brian there. I mean, I wish I 59 00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:21,039 had more jokes. I wish I was a comedian to 60 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,280 really lay it to him, but well I can't. 61 00:03:24,439 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think we all we all hear 62 00:03:26,719 --> 00:03:31,240 how Brian operates. He calls enough shows and we hear 63 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,479 his pattern. It's a familiar pattern. So yeah, Mark, I 64 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,840 appreciate the call. It's like I just I give him chances, 65 00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:42,240 you know, to see if he can engage in the issue. 66 00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:46,599 And I'm hopeful that one day he will to just 67 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,240 engage in the issue rather than throw the barbs make 68 00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:55,479 it personal, you know, oh your present, like those little 69 00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,319 those little slings that he has, Like they don't work 70 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,919 on me. I don't think they work on any host here. 71 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,919 They don't work on you know, anybody trying to engage 72 00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:09,319 in a good faith conversation. And he comes across as 73 00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:13,479 petty and unprepared, you know. But if you if he 74 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,680 ever wants to have just a discussion about an issue, 75 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,160 a topic, like I can do that. I talked about 76 00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:23,680 this the other day. I had an hour long conversation 77 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,879 with a niece of mine who was on the left, 78 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,759 and we talked about all sorts of topics and it 79 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,000 never got personal because it was all done in good faith. 80 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,839 It was done like, oh, why do you think the 81 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,120 way you think? Oh that's interesting, what do you think 82 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,680 about this? How did you come to that opinion? You know, 83 00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:44,959 stuff like that. You can engage in that kind of discourse. 84 00:04:46,439 --> 00:04:51,439 But if you're coming in looking to score points or uh, 85 00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:55,360 you know, embarrass the host, you or whoever, Like if 86 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,759 you're if you're going into it to try to destroy 87 00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:03,120 the per that you're having a conversation with, at some 88 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,079 point they're going to figure it out. And with Brian, 89 00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:09,560 I already know that's how he approaches these conversations, and 90 00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:11,959 so you're not going to get a good faith conversation. 91 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,319 But I suspect that's not what he wants. That's my suspicion. 92 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,319 I do have a bunch of messages here on the 93 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,839 Liberty Buick GMC text line. Here on the PBS and 94 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,120 NPR cuts. This is from a nine to eight OHO number. 95 00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:35,319 This is long overdue, Pete. Many more government cuts to go, though. 96 00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:40,720 Robert in Charlotte says, NPR has so many listeners, why 97 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,399 weren't they bringing in revenue for the federal government. Private 98 00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:51,439 radio stations are profitable, so why was NPR costing us money? Pete? 99 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,920 You should check out the ground News app. Actually, I'm 100 00:05:54,959 --> 00:05:58,680 an affiliate of theirs, so yes, you can. I use 101 00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:02,879 ground News all the time because they ground News does 102 00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:05,160 this thing where it's and I get no money for this, 103 00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:07,120 by the way, I pay for my subscriptions, So this 104 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,040 is not illegal to tell you that ground News does a. 105 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,120 They do a media bias, and so you can see 106 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,079 where stories are moving and what outlets they're moving on, 107 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,120 and then the outlets they are. They have ratings compiled 108 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,079 by these different sources and stuff, so it'll show you, 109 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,800 like stories that are getting reported heavily by the right 110 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,240 or by the left, or you know, in the middle whatever, 111 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,879 So you could see your own blind spots. That's why. 112 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,279 It's one of the reasons why when people say, you know, oh, 113 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,079 what about this story? That's why I go. When people 114 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,879 like Brian call in and they want to raise the 115 00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:44,079 question about the floods down in Texas and the warning systems, 116 00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:46,759 that's all being reported on the left, not so much 117 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,560 on the right. And I know that because Ground News. 118 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:55,560 So there you go, and that's not a paid endorsement. Okay. 119 00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:58,959 I don't know if Pat McCrory is on the PBS stations. 120 00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:02,399 I don't know that. And I don't know if Brian 121 00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:06,279 is Tony or not. People keep asking if they are 122 00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:10,959 the same people, and Sean as well, how many aliases? 123 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,240 This is another one. How many aliases does he have? 124 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,199 I don't know. But when Porch oh, it was so 125 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:29,680 who is this from Hendersonville? You have apparently mellowed out 126 00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:32,720 since Brian C. I don't know who Brian C is. 127 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,319 I think you stopped halfway through your tweet here or 128 00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:48,040 your text message. Mister Hendersonville, you let nutjob Tony carry 129 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,279 on and just heard loco Brian venting. But when poor 130 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,079 Chernobyl Bob called in, you would cut him off, don't you, 131 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,160 miss old Bob? No, I don't. Chernobyl Bob was a 132 00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:04,279 guy who when I went to Ashville, one of the 133 00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:07,839 first callers I got was a caller named Bob, and 134 00:08:08,439 --> 00:08:13,879 the previous host would allow this caller to just rant, 135 00:08:14,079 --> 00:08:17,079 and they gave him this nickname Chernobyl Bob because he 136 00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:20,199 starts off really calm and then he blows up like Chernobyl, right. 137 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,680 And so when I first started engaging with this guy, 138 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,240 it didn't take long before much like caller Winston, who 139 00:08:29,279 --> 00:08:32,600 I have also blocked from my show, but I hear 140 00:08:32,639 --> 00:08:34,840 them call other shows. Every host can do what they want, 141 00:08:34,879 --> 00:08:38,440 but I don't take Winston's calls because after you start 142 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,639 engaging with them a little bit and ask them why 143 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,200 they think certain things, and ask them for, you know, 144 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,879 evidence for their opinions and that sort of stuff, all 145 00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:50,519 of a sudden, it turns into the Jews. It's the Jews. 146 00:08:51,399 --> 00:08:53,840 And at that point it's like, okay, I'm done. I 147 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,000 I have no patience for it. And the guy starts 148 00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:01,120 screaming and yelling and going off the deep end and 149 00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:03,600 he can curse and you know, jeopardize the FCC license. 150 00:09:03,639 --> 00:09:06,720 So now that's why like the callers that I allow 151 00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:09,200 on to the program, and to be sure I allow 152 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,960 them on. I don't have to put them on, but 153 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,879 I choose to put them on. But whatever you think 154 00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:18,440 of Brian or Tony or whatever names they're using, they're 155 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,360 not dropping F bombs. They're not cursing, right, And as 156 00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:24,240 long as people stay within the FCC guidelines and stuff, 157 00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:26,960 I'm I'm fine with that. And you know, or it's 158 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,240 like you want to you want to blame everything on 159 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,320 Jewish people, like, either way, yeah, that'll get your banned 160 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,279 and usually. I mean I warned Bob too, and then 161 00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:36,480 I let him back on. I gave him a warning again, 162 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,759 and then he blew it again, and then I banned 163 00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:40,960 him again. So that's how that went down up in Ashville. 164 00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:45,519 Oh the trip down memorily, here's a great idea. How 165 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,639 about making an escape to a really special and secluded 166 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,519 getaway in western North Carolina, just a quick drive up 167 00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:54,679 the mountain and Cabins of Ashville is your connection.

I'm reading the messages, gaess, 187 00:10:59,799 --> 00:11:02,799 but like I feel like we can move on. There's 188 00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:07,200 no need to, no need to complete the pile on here. Okay, well, 189 00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:09,480 just because I got other stuff I gotta get to, 190 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:17,039 all right. So I mentioned earlier this appeal by the 191 00:11:17,159 --> 00:11:22,440 NPR supporters and PBS supporters that say we have to 192 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,840 keep the taxpayer funding or else these rural communities will 193 00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:31,399 no longer have NPR, and that can be life or 194 00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:34,600 death in times of emergency, as if there are no 195 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:40,279 other radio stations or TV stations for that matter. I mean, 196 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,879 I don't know who goes to the PBS station in 197 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,799 times of an emergency. Have you ever done that? Like, 198 00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:49,120 oh my gosh, there's a tornado coming, we need to 199 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,399 turn on doctor who Like, No, you don't turn on 200 00:11:54,039 --> 00:11:56,759 You don't turn on your PBS station for that. You 201 00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,440 turn on your local news station for that. And those 202 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,120 are commercial broadcasts. You turn on your local radio station, 203 00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:08,039 right because that's local commercial and they've got people there 204 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:13,000 versus like these NPR affiliates where there's virtually ever, if 205 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,200 ever people in the building. You know, a lot of 206 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,759 it's just automated, a lot of so a lot of 207 00:12:19,799 --> 00:12:22,200 them are just automated. That's not to say that the 208 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,240 EAS alert doesn't go out on the NPR stations. They do, 209 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,200 but they go out on every station, right so, and 210 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,559 they go out on your phones. But that's that line 211 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:39,159 of argument about the rural Americans needing this, and those 212 00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:43,480 Republicans are targeting rural Americans. See. I started thinking as 213 00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:48,240 I was seeing this obviously coordinated narrative take hold yesterday, 214 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,399 because everybody was saying it, like everybody fell in line, 215 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,440 Democrats and the CEO of NPR, they were all out 216 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,840 there making the rounds, and they were all saying the 217 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,320 same talking point about rural Americains. 218 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 2: And it. 219 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: Made me think, huh, are you guys saying this for 220 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,960 some other reason? Because look, you surely must know that 221 00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:16,000 you got you know, Murkowski, you got Susan Collins of Maine, 222 00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:18,919 because of course you did. You got Mitch McConnell. But 223 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,000 it's still passed, it's still got the votes in the Senate, 224 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,559 so who are you making this argument for. Is this 225 00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:29,120 to actually prevent the cuts? Which, don't get me wrong, 226 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,360 I fully believe they want the cuts to not happen. 227 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,159 But if you know that, you don't control the House 228 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,279 and the Senate and the presidency. And now it's past 229 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,480 the House, or sorry, now it passed the Senate. So 230 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,919 is there some other reason you're making this particular argument. 231 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:53,879 And then I remembered our very breezy Anderson Clayton, the 232 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:59,279 chair of the North Carolina Democrat Party. She likes to curse, 233 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,480 and she's from Person County, and so she says y'all 234 00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:08,679 a lot, and that's the way she intends to help 235 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,840 win back these conservative, blue dog rural American Trump loving 236 00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:19,399 voters because she curses and she says y'all, y'all. And 237 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,279 they've been doing a listening tour. Remember I've talked about this, 238 00:14:23,919 --> 00:14:27,879 pointing out that like they're trying to okay, not win 239 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,440 these rural areas, but to just not lose as badly. 240 00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:34,960 And on the flip side of that, Republicans are in 241 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,879 the urban areas, they're trying not to lose as badly too. Okay, 242 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,000 So that's the listening tour in the rural areas of 243 00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:47,000 North Carolina. And then I was like, ah, now it 244 00:14:47,039 --> 00:14:51,399 makes sense. That's why these senators were cursing. They were 245 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:58,279 dropping h bombs and d bombs like hades and darn right, 246 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,799 So they were pepper their speeches and their tweets and 247 00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:06,080 stuff with the curse words. Why would they do that. Well, 248 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,960 it's Breezy Andres and Clayton. I call her that because 249 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,759 she's Her Twitter handle is a Breezy Clayton. So anyway, 250 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,919 and she's breezy. From what I understand, this is part 251 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:27,080 of their outreach effort to rural North Carolinians and rural Americans. 252 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,759 I suspect, just like they do with the quote healthcare topic, 253 00:15:31,159 --> 00:15:33,879 and they're using Medicaid for this very same purpose. Right, 254 00:15:33,919 --> 00:15:36,320 the cuts to Medicaid, it's gonna hurt the rural hospitals, 255 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,000 it's gonna hurt the rural people. It's gonna hurt rural America. 256 00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:42,360 Where for you? Where for you? That's part of this strategy. 257 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,279 One of the other parts of their strategy find the 258 00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:52,919 liberal Joe Rogan. Democrats need to have a Joe Rogan, 259 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,200 which is funny because they had Joe Rogan and then 260 00:15:57,879 --> 00:16:04,759 they Deep sixth Bernie Sanders' presidential aspirations twice, and that 261 00:16:04,879 --> 00:16:06,840 kind of hacked off Joe Rogan. And then they went 262 00:16:06,879 --> 00:16:08,679 so far to the left on the social stuff that 263 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,759 even Joe Rogan was like, this is nuts. So they 264 00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:15,159 had Joe and then they went so far to the 265 00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:17,039 left they lost Joe. So now they need to find 266 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,759 another Joe Rogan. So they have been talking about finding 267 00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:24,879 themselves a Joe Rogan and not you, Harry Sissons. Sit down, 268 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,799 they're not talking about you. So who could be the 269 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,320 next Joe Rogan? Well, I am pleased to tell you that. 270 00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:37,799 According to David Weigel at semaphore dot com, the search 271 00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:48,279 for a liberal Joe Rogan has led Democrats to Jamie Harrison. Yeah, 272 00:16:48,679 --> 00:16:52,919 you don't know who that guy is, Okay, Jamie Harrison 273 00:16:53,639 --> 00:17:01,000 is the former chairman of the National Democratic Party. That's 274 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,160 who they He's gonna he's going to be able to 275 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:09,559 speak to the to the young dudes, that's yeah. Jamie Harrison. 276 00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:17,279 He is going to launch a podcast called at Our Table. 277 00:17:20,759 --> 00:17:24,400 I don't even want to listen to this now. At 278 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,839 our Table it's an interview show that he has been 279 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,440 recording from his home in South Carolina, as well as 280 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,519 from the Road, where he frequently spends time with the 281 00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:42,279 parties Once and Future Stars, and he sat for an 282 00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:46,160 interview with David Weigel just before he had an interview 283 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:51,680 lined up with Kentucky Governor Andy Basheer. Okay, he's already 284 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,799 recorded a couple of episodes, because you want to have 285 00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:55,599 some in the can as they say, you want to 286 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,599 have some ready to go when you launch, and so 287 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,759 he's got a couple of them all racked up, ready 288 00:17:59,799 --> 00:17:59,920 to go. 289 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 2: Oh. 290 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:11,559 Speaker 1: The first episodes will include such luminaries as Tim Walls Man. Oh, 291 00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:15,839 that's gonna be some podcast gold right there. Not sure 292 00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:18,240 how long these episodes are going to run, because that's 293 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,960 one of the things about these long form podcasts. And 294 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,960 when I say long form, I mean like Roganesque three hours, 295 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,440 Sean Ryan he just did one, or he does them 296 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,400 and his are like three to four hours. He just 297 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,519 did one with Governor Gavin Newsome. It did not go 298 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,960 well because here's the thing. When you sit for a 299 00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:45,400 long period of time beyond sound bites, your arguments have 300 00:18:45,559 --> 00:18:49,880 to stand up because as you have the conversations with 301 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,519 somebody about a particular issue, if you do not have 302 00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:57,039 well formulated arguments or thoughts on a topic. It gets 303 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,519 laid bare, it gets exposed over the time, and politicians 304 00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:04,400 are terrible at being able to maintain sort of the 305 00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:06,400 dance that they have to dance when they're doing just 306 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,359 sound bites. You know, they can last five or ten minutes, 307 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,279 but you keep them going for an hour with no commercials, 308 00:19:13,319 --> 00:19:17,559 two hours no commercials, it gets tougher. I don't know 309 00:19:17,559 --> 00:19:20,279 what kind of format Jamie is doing, but man, I'm 310 00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:24,480 looking forward to the full what hour two, three, four 311 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,680 five with Tim Walls or Governor Wes Moore of Maryland, 312 00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:34,319 or James Clyburn from South Carolina, or Hunter Biden, that's 313 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,640 one of the guests. I actually probably will watch that 314 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,680 one because I'm just curious to know what Hunter Biden says. 315 00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:41,880 All right, if you're listening to this show, you know 316 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,920 I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, 317 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,000 and I know you do too, And you've probably heard 318 00:19:46,079 --> 00:19:50,160 me say get your news from multiple sources. Why, Well, 319 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,880 because it's how you detect media bias, which is why 320 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,119 I've been so impressed with ground News. It's an app 321 00:19:56,319 --> 00:19:59,519 and it's a website, and it combines news from around 322 00:19:59,519 --> 00:20:02,279 the world one place, so you can compare coverage and 323 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,240 verify information.

I started using ground News a few 326 00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:15,559 months ago and more recently chose to work with them 327 00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:18,359 as an affiliate because it lets me see clearly how 328 00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:21,920 stories get covered and by whom.

Semaphore dot 336 00:20:46,279 --> 00:20:50,319 com article by David Weigel. He got an interview with 337 00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:56,000 the Democrats hope to be the next Joe Rogan and 338 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:02,519 it is the former DNC chairman Jamie Harrison household name. 339 00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:04,640 So a lot of people are going to obviously flock 340 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,960 to this podcast, but he had lined up a bunch 341 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,880 of people. He did, He's already done a bunch of shows, 342 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:16,119 and Wigel asked him first off how'd you do this? 343 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,599 Where did the what was the germ of the ideas? 344 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,079 What he asked, and Harrison says he's been thinking about 345 00:21:23,079 --> 00:21:25,079 doing it for a while. When I was DNC chair, 346 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,960 I had this whole idea about a channel on YouTube 347 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:33,880 called DTV Oh Spicy. I would anchor a podcast, and 348 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,920 then we would have a number of other shows with 349 00:21:36,039 --> 00:21:39,960 Democrat elected officials and activists. The only thing we ended 350 00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:49,119 up doing was my DNC podcast called Welcome to the Party. Like, 351 00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:57,799 that's terrible. You're going to have a show with Democrat 352 00:21:57,799 --> 00:22:01,279 elected officials and activists. How does that not get turned 353 00:22:01,319 --> 00:22:07,359 into campaign ads against you guys, because you know, Republican 354 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,799 oppo researchers are just going to sit there and watch it. 355 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,559 Because there's the left can never go too far, and 356 00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:17,079 so you bring these people on, you get them comfortable, 357 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:22,119 they start talking, and they're gonna say some crazy stuff. Anyway, 358 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,240 very quickly, Harrison says, listen to this. He says, our 359 00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:29,200 folks said that we don't have the bandwidth to do that, 360 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,559 so we abandoned the effort. But as we saw from 361 00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:34,759 the twenty twenty four elections, more and more people are 362 00:22:34,759 --> 00:22:37,880 getting their news from social media channels. This was something 363 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,200 I knew that we needed, but we weren't able to 364 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:45,200 do so. They so, the pooh bahs of the Democrat Party, 365 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,079 they wouldn't let Jamie be Jamie. They would just they 366 00:22:49,079 --> 00:22:53,680 would not allow him to become an influencer. So they 367 00:22:53,799 --> 00:22:56,839 they he says at one point in this interview, that 368 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,119 they put restrict plates on him or something like they 369 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,079 did to Kamala Harris. Oh yeah, he says that there's 370 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,960 he says, there's this hypersensitivity not to mess up in 371 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,759 the Democrat Party. I saw this at the DNC sometimes, 372 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,039 I would submit that's probably also the case over at 373 00:23:17,079 --> 00:23:23,119 the Republican Party as well. Nobody wants to mess up. Okay, 374 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,880 he says, but you know he talks about Joe Biden. 375 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,799 They didn't want to Joe Biden going out there and 376 00:23:28,839 --> 00:23:32,480 making his gaffs and such. Yeah, that was the reason. 377 00:23:32,519 --> 00:23:34,880 It was his gaffs. The guy was a gaff machine 378 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,839 his entire career. It's not just the gafs. It was 379 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,039 his mental decline anyway, he says. But Donald Trump gafs 380 00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:43,319 every time he opens his mouth, but he keeps going. 381 00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:45,960 It shows that he's real. The part that many of 382 00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:49,960 us loved about Joe Biden is that he's real. Joe's 383 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,400 real too. Joe's reel too. That's the thing. Joe was 384 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,599 a real jerk. Joe was always a jerk. You guys 385 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,440 tried to make him into something that he wasn't, which 386 00:24:00,519 --> 00:24:04,960 was not a jerk. Okay, he says. But we democrats 387 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,920 I love this. This the views that the people in 388 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,559 both parties have of themselves versus the other party. They 389 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,799 all say the same thing. They're like, oh, we're like 390 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,000 herding cats. You know, we can't be governed. We're all 391 00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:21,519 over the place. We attack each other. Look at the 392 00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:24,640 other guy, the other team, the other party. They all 393 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,759 fall in line. They're all in lockstep. Both parties say 394 00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:33,519 the same thing. And here's Harrison saying, we Democrats put 395 00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:37,960 ourselves in straight jackets and we sanitize every bleeping thing 396 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,599 that comes out of our mouths. So what does come 397 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,200 of that? So what does come out comes out without 398 00:24:45,319 --> 00:24:50,799 any soul. Republicans understand the power of emotion. It could 399 00:24:50,839 --> 00:24:53,480 be fear or it could be joy, but it's emotion 400 00:24:53,839 --> 00:24:57,000 and they use it. Oh all right, So here's something 401 00:24:57,039 --> 00:25:00,359 to keep in mind if Democrats want to win you 402 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,519 got to do the more cursing, right, more cursing, more 403 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:11,759 rural outreach, right, and apparently more podcasts and more emotion 404 00:25:12,319 --> 00:25:17,640 because when I think Democrats, I think lack of emotion. Right. 405 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:24,960 Oh yeah, Democrats never never appeal to emotion. They need more. 406 00:25:25,799 --> 00:25:33,039 According to Harrison, he was asked, is there anybody you 407 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,279 blame in the Kamala Harris campaign for her not doing 408 00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:42,160 more podcasts? And he said, we had. He says, I 409 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,160 don't know who made that ultimate decision, but you know, 410 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,279 for the first two weeks when she wasn't doing them, 411 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,599 everybody was asking why isn't Kamala doing the interviews. Prior 412 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:58,079 to that, she was knocking interviews out of the box, which, 413 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:05,839 if I'm assuming this is a baseball metaphor, which I 414 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,640 think would be true. She was knocking them out of 415 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,640 the box. Barely they were, but they were getting out 416 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,079 of the box. That would be the batter's box, right. 417 00:26:14,319 --> 00:26:15,799 She was knocking them out of the box, which would 418 00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:18,480 otherwise be known as a bunt or I guess it 419 00:26:18,519 --> 00:26:21,160 could be you know, a pop fly, It could be 420 00:26:21,759 --> 00:26:25,839 a ground out, a double play, whatever I think you 421 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,400 meant to say. Out of the park, you're knocking them 422 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,720 out of the park. Right, that's a home run, which 423 00:26:31,799 --> 00:26:33,920 we all know she was not doing, which is why 424 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,119 they didn't want her doing the podcast. See here's the problem. 425 00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:40,319 This is the problem that Harrison's gonna have. You can't 426 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,960 do podcasts or radio shows for that matter, and just 427 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,720 gaslight people all the time. You can't. You can't just lie. 428 00:26:49,319 --> 00:26:54,400 The audience sniffs it out. And if maybe this is 429 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,279 what your audience wants to hear, maybe they want to 430 00:26:56,319 --> 00:26:58,559 be gaslight at this point. But you're not going to 431 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,680 be a Joe Rogan. You know, stories are powerful.

Visit creative video dot com. I 450 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:09,279 think this is from Bob. I think yeah, Bob Wow. 451 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:14,079 A new podcast Leaning Left already Sonny Beach. I don't 452 00:28:14,079 --> 00:28:19,440 know what Sunny Beach means, but uh sorry, I'm still 453 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,799 trying to get I'm still learning this text line thing 454 00:28:21,799 --> 00:28:26,920 to try to bounce between the bounce between the messages 455 00:28:29,319 --> 00:28:31,400 from a nine to eight zero number. There are lots 456 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,079 of left wing interview podcast al Harrison has demonstrated is 457 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:41,200 his ability to direct DNC funding to himself. Yes, and 458 00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:44,759 here's a tweet at Pete Calender. It's funny that the 459 00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:47,720 left is choosing the guy that lost to Lindsey Graham 460 00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:52,799 to be there. Joe Rogan, Right, Yeah, I'm look, I 461 00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:59,359 don't It'll be fine for a smallish podcast. That's gonna 462 00:28:59,359 --> 00:29:01,319 be bigger than mine. But still it'll be fine. But 463 00:29:01,359 --> 00:29:03,359 it's not gonna be Joe Rogan. And that's the problem 464 00:29:03,519 --> 00:29:08,519 is it's like it's like, hey, Pete, we want you 465 00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:13,680 to post something on social media that goes viral. You don't. 466 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:19,359 You can't control that stuff, right. Content is king or queen. 467 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,920 I don't want to assign gender, but content is king. 468 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,079 If you do good content, then people will find it. 469 00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:27,039 And if it's really good. You got a lot of 470 00:29:27,079 --> 00:29:30,960 people whatever. Joe Rogan built all of that empire over 471 00:29:31,039 --> 00:29:33,319 the course of years. So this idea that you're like, 472 00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:36,160 I'm gonna be the next Joe Rogan. Anybody who says 473 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,440 that it's like giving yourself a nickname. You can't give 474 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,119 yourself a nickname. You know, that's it just has to 475 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:48,200 happen organically. I think. Let's see here he did. Dave 476 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:54,160 Weigel did ask Jamie Harrison some of the highlights of 477 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,440 the people that he's already spoken with, like Tim Walls 478 00:29:57,039 --> 00:30:03,480 and James Clyburn and Hunt Biden. So let me see 479 00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:06,039 this is from Hunter. He says, Well, I got a 480 00:30:06,119 --> 00:30:07,759 chance to get to know Hunter a lot of the 481 00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:10,640 last a lot over the last four years. I don't 482 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,039 know if you remember, but back in the day when 483 00:30:13,039 --> 00:30:16,400 I was in the South Carolina Democrat Party chairman position, 484 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,039 I had this little series called chair Chats. Oh my gosh, 485 00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:25,720 this guy these names are terrible. Chair chats where I 486 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,960 would sit and talk to a chair in chaerchats. We 487 00:30:30,079 --> 00:30:34,119 talked about moving past caricatures, and in many ways, I 488 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,799 think Hunter Biden has become a caricature in politics. A 489 00:30:37,839 --> 00:30:40,599 lot of people don't know how smart he is, don't 490 00:30:40,599 --> 00:30:43,680 know his background, don't know the stuff that he's worked on. 491 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,160 They only know what either his allies or his enemies 492 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,720 have put out there. And he's been defined by that. No, actually, 493 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,759 I think it was defined. I think I think it 494 00:30:53,799 --> 00:30:56,039 was the whole laptop thing and all of the stuff 495 00:30:56,079 --> 00:30:59,680 that he put on the laptop, and then the book 496 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,920 he wrote about it. I think that's really what defined 497 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,799 him for a lot of people. He says, I thought 498 00:31:05,839 --> 00:31:08,119 it would be really interesting to pull back the curtain 499 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,279 so that people got a chance to understand who he is. Okay, 500 00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:13,400 so it's a softball interview, right that You're not going 501 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,599 to ask him anything about barisma, Right, You're not going 502 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,759 to ask him these he's not going to ask him 503 00:31:19,799 --> 00:31:24,359 about these tough topics. So when did you start sleeping 504 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,319 with your your dead brother's widow? Like, when did you 505 00:31:28,359 --> 00:31:30,079 do that start cheating on your wife with your dead 506 00:31:30,119 --> 00:31:32,000 brother's widow. You're going to ask him anything about that? 507 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,880 Maybe maybe he does. I'm open to being proven wrong, 508 00:31:38,319 --> 00:31:41,680 but we shall see. Or well here, I guess because 509 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,400 it's a podcast, I don't know if they've got video. 510 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,000 So he goes on to say, uh, it's a really 511 00:31:48,079 --> 00:31:52,599 really interesting conversation. We had everything from laughter and joy 512 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,640 to tears to anger to frustration. He's really selling this, man. 513 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,759 I really want to I really want to watch this now. 514 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,480 One thing that Hunter Biden said in this interview you 515 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,000 may have seen this quote floating around, was that Democrats 516 00:32:06,039 --> 00:32:08,640 lost the election because we did not remain loyal to 517 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:15,000 the leader of the party, which was his dad. That's 518 00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:19,519 the reason Democrats lost. No loyalty among you people. Okay, 519 00:32:20,599 --> 00:32:22,960 Harrison says, you'll hear some of my feedback about that, 520 00:32:23,039 --> 00:32:25,400 but I would say this for now, things may have 521 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,279 been somewhat different had the loyalty that we saw Republicans 522 00:32:29,319 --> 00:32:33,039 have for Donald Trump. When Trump got convicted thirty four times, 523 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,799 and you didn't hear a peep from the Republican Party. 524 00:32:36,039 --> 00:32:37,839 I would love to see a little more of that 525 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:43,319 from Democrats. What did I just say? Right both parties. 526 00:32:43,359 --> 00:32:46,839 People in both parties view the other party as being 527 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:53,240 more coordinated, more ruthless than they are. Like those other guys, 528 00:32:53,279 --> 00:32:56,079 they really know how to run a party. Like look 529 00:32:56,119 --> 00:32:59,519 at this loyalty for Donald Trump. They all got loyalty 530 00:32:59,559 --> 00:33:03,720 for Trump, which I would submit that not outing Hunter's 531 00:33:03,839 --> 00:33:08,000 dad as in cognitive decline like that shows a pretty 532 00:33:08,039 --> 00:33:11,599 high degree of loyalty, don't you think I do. What 533 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:17,519 else would you attribute that to? He says, Democrats are 534 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,279 very quick man to take our knives out and go 535 00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:23,000 after our folks at the first sign of any problem. 536 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:29,279 Once again, Republicans say the same thing about themselves. They 537 00:33:29,359 --> 00:33:33,119 think Democrats close ranks and never let anybody go. They 538 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,960 never stab anybody in the back. He says, I don't 539 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,519 think that's always in the best interest of the party. 540 00:33:41,759 --> 00:33:44,440 I heard this a lot on the campaign trail. That 541 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,079 lack of loyalty, I think is part of the reason 542 00:33:47,119 --> 00:33:49,920 why you see some wavering within the base of our 543 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,880 party because they don't feel as though the party will 544 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:57,000 stand up for them. Well, what did they do that 545 00:33:57,079 --> 00:34:00,680 makes people stab them in the back? Like, are they 546 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:06,160 protecting some invalid that's in the White House? Right? Once again, 547 00:34:06,319 --> 00:34:09,840 like all of this might sell in a country that 548 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,280 didn't just go through four years of the Biden presidency 549 00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:18,719 seeing what we saw, watching people close ranks around the 550 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,639 declining president, right, and then to be gaslit by you 551 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,320 people telling us that what I saw with my own 552 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,199 eyes was not what I was seeing with my own eyes. 553 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,239 So maybe these lamentations about lack of loyalty might play 554 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,119 better had we not just gone through the last four years. 555 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,559 But I could be wrong. What do I know. I'm 556 00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:46,280 just a little old radio host. All right, that'll do 557 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,880 it for this episode.
