Speaker 2: i'll tell you what. You know, you start off the
Speaker 2: show prep and you start on Sunday and you start
Speaker 2: looking at stuff and you think, Okay, here's how the
Speaker 2: show's going to lay out. But all of a sudden
Speaker 2: news gets in the way, and we're going to get
Speaker 2: to all that on the latest stuff that we've got
Speaker 2: as far as the latest assassination attempt on Donald Trump
Speaker 2: and basically, folks, this has got to stop and somebody
Speaker 2: needs to take responsibility for this, and they need to
Speaker 2: take responsibility for it immediately, and it needs to stop,
Speaker 2: and they need to start walking back there crap that
Speaker 2: they've been saying.
Speaker 3: But we'll get to all that.
Speaker 2: By the way, if you've you know that when I'm
Speaker 2: in I usually not usually all the time, I post
Speaker 2: on Facebook what my show guests are and what we've
Speaker 2: got lined up.
Speaker 3: And let me just run through that.
Speaker 2: You got me basically news and views from now until
Speaker 2: six fifty five at seven o'clock, we're going to be
Speaker 2: talking with Ken Anderson and not that guy, the other
Speaker 2: Ken Anderson. He's an author and we'll talk about third
Speaker 2: Party Factor in November. And he's an author of a
Speaker 2: couple of books, and of course we'll be talking to him.
Speaker 2: And then from about seven thirty five, you know, after
Speaker 2: the end of the break or the news at the
Speaker 2: bottom of the hour, So eight twenty five more news
Speaker 2: and views and you know me, I may you know,
Speaker 2: I may come out of my shell today and I
Speaker 2: may offer an opinion or two. I you know, it
Speaker 2: depends an eight thirty five to eight to fifty five.
Speaker 2: We're going to be talking to Vic rum Man Sharh Ramani.
Speaker 2: He is an economist author, and we'll talk about his
Speaker 2: latest book, The Making of a Generalist an independent Thinker
Speaker 2: finds unconventional success in an uncertain world. So we'll be
Speaker 2: talking to him and a couple of things about him
Speaker 2: we'll get to later on. But you know, this weekend
Speaker 2: was very interesting. We had well over in Northern Kentucky
Speaker 2: the annual Northern Kentucky Right to Life Banquet Awards dinners,
Speaker 2: you know, a celebration, the celebration for life and it
Speaker 2: was a little I will say it was not a
Speaker 2: packed house, but it was a very well attended function
Speaker 2: and people were talking about or people were thinking back
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, after the Supreme Court rightly overturned
Speaker 2: Roe v. Wade and being turned back to the States
Speaker 2: that well, okay, this would you know, be an issue
Speaker 2: that be done on a state by state basis. But
Speaker 2: the Democrats and the so called feminists have not let
Speaker 2: this issue go. They make it seem that there's to
Speaker 2: be this country wide national ban on abortion and they
Speaker 2: don't want any limitations whatsoever. They're saying that, you know,
Speaker 2: they're all for women and so on. But and they
Speaker 2: say that we want to just go back to Roe v.
Speaker 2: Wade on a national basis and codify that. The problem
Speaker 2: is is that Roe v. Wade was open ended. There
Speaker 2: were no limitations. That's one of the myths. There were
Speaker 2: no limitations on abortion all the way up to the
Speaker 2: ninth month, right even before birth. And Hillary Clinton said this,
Speaker 2: said so much when she was running for president. And
Speaker 2: this is the hidden little secret that they don't want
Speaker 2: to talk about, and also one of the other hidden
Speaker 2: secrets in here, and people don't talk about it. Is
Speaker 2: the fact that Justice Blackman, who wrote the opinion, pretty
Speaker 2: much and I'm gonna paraphrase a little bit, if you
Speaker 2: determine when life begins, this whole idea of rogue goes
Speaker 2: out the window. And he went into this big discussion
Speaker 2: and maybe too much into the weeds here, but he
Speaker 2: did go into this discussion about, well, how has life
Speaker 2: been interpreted in the past, And he went back to
Speaker 2: the fifteenth century when they were talking about what they
Speaker 2: called the quickening when you can actually feel the baby kick.
Speaker 2: There are some I think some of my Jewish friends
Speaker 2: have told me that in some sex or I think
Speaker 2: I don't remember whether it's Reformed or Orthodox or whatever.
Speaker 2: I'm sure one of them will call me and correct
Speaker 2: me on this, but they don't believe that life begins
Speaker 2: until birth. And so when you have this, it should
Speaker 2: be you know, if what do we keep hearing during COVID,
Speaker 2: what do we keep hearing during the clminess trying to
Speaker 2: take over the world and this type of thing and
Speaker 2: climiness is a combination of communism and environmentalisms, so I
Speaker 2: just call it climiness. What do they keep telling us?
Speaker 2: Follow the science, follow the science, follow the science. Oh,
Speaker 2: except unless you're talking about abortion, unless you're talking about
Speaker 2: life issue, you know, because if they determine that life
Speaker 2: begins at conception, well then that kind of throws everything
Speaker 2: out the window, if you I mean, and quite honestly,
Speaker 2: the question becomes And as I tell my people that
Speaker 2: people that ever talk I talk to about this issue
Speaker 2: is I make the comment that if your pro choice,
Speaker 2: you just haven't thought about it long enough. Because if
Speaker 2: you start thinking about what actually happens from the moment
Speaker 2: of conception until the actual birth, where is it that
Speaker 2: somewhere if you were to do the ultrasound of the
Speaker 2: uterus and see the little cell in there and start
Speaker 2: growing and all this sort of stuff, when does this
Speaker 2: you know, ban of life start walking across the uterus
Speaker 2: and then jump into that fetus, so to speak. If
Speaker 2: you do nothing, if the baby is implanted in the
Speaker 2: womb and no interference whatsoever, the outcome is going to
Speaker 2: be a baby, is going to be a man or
Speaker 2: a woman, or a.
Speaker 3: Boy or a girl.
Speaker 2: It ain't going to be a giraffe, and ain't gonna
Speaker 2: be a dog, and it ain't gonna be a cat. So
Speaker 2: the whole premise of this business of well, you know,
Speaker 2: we don't know when life begins. Well, when stuff starts
Speaker 2: growing organically and sells divide according to science, that's when
Speaker 2: life begins, folks. And then this whole business of you know,
Speaker 2: these journalists and everybody starting to change the language because
Speaker 2: it doesn't suit their purposes. They're defending reproductive rights, well, folks,
Speaker 2: apparently nobody's interrupting.
Speaker 3: With the reproductive rights.
Speaker 2: Otherwise they would be seeking an abortion because apparently their
Speaker 2: reproductive rights are working just fine. What they are looking
Speaker 2: for is a legal permission to do a moral wrong.
Speaker 2: They know that what they're doing is not right, but
Speaker 2: they're looking for the government. They're looking for the laws.
Speaker 2: They're looking for somebody to tell them what to do
Speaker 2: or that it's giving them permission to do. And the
Speaker 2: individual person knows individually. And I have delved into this
Speaker 2: so many different times with different organizations, talking to people
Speaker 2: who have women who have survived abortions, because it is
Speaker 2: a trauma, no matter what they say, no matter what
Speaker 2: they try to couch, it is a trauma on the
Speaker 2: woman that a lot of times.
Speaker 3: There is regret.
Speaker 2: They don't want to talk about the suicide rate, They
Speaker 2: don't want to talk about the addiction rate. They don't
Speaker 2: want to talk about some of the other things that
Speaker 2: come as a result of the side effects of having
Speaker 2: an abortion. They don't want to talk about, you know,
Speaker 2: the fact that in some cases the man who tried
Speaker 2: to talk to a woman out of having an abortion
Speaker 2: winds up committing suicide as well. So all this stuff,
Speaker 2: But this Northern Kentucky Right to Life, it's a wonderful event.
Speaker 2: The program was the largest program that they've had, a
Speaker 2: number of advertisers, the number of people involved, and as
Speaker 2: I said, it wasn't a packed house, but there were
Speaker 2: a hell of a lot of people there. And this
Speaker 2: this issue is not over, and it needs to People
Speaker 2: that are pro life need to get off their butts,
Speaker 2: need to get out and talk, need to be bold
Speaker 2: and be warriors for life. And the fact that people
Speaker 2: will kind of, you know what, pretty much seed the
Speaker 2: discussion to other people and say, well, you know, I
Speaker 2: personally am not for it, I wouldn't do it, but
Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell anybody else what to do.
Speaker 2: Or men how sometimes they'll cop out and say, hey,
Speaker 2: you know, whatever you want to do, babe. You know
Speaker 2: the number of times I've talked to people that are
Speaker 2: involved with these crisis pregnancy or organizations that by the way,
Speaker 2: Planned parenthood and whatever, and the Left is trying to
Speaker 2: shut down and put out a business.
Speaker 3: But I've talked to.
Speaker 2: Some of them and they talk about how a lot
Speaker 2: of times these women will come in and they have
Speaker 2: they had talked to ten people, ten of their friends
Speaker 2: before they came in to get care and how to
Speaker 2: go through the pregnancy, and what options they have, you know,
Speaker 2: through the pregnancy and whatnot, as far as maybe given
Speaker 2: the child up for adoption, keep keeping the child, what
Speaker 2: type of things they can be done to help them
Speaker 2: in the first few years or encourage them to keep
Speaker 2: the child. And they comes down to they were looking
Speaker 2: for that one person, that one person to tell them
Speaker 2: that it'll be okay. Yet planned parenthood will take somebody
Speaker 2: at their most vulnerable, at their most at when they
Speaker 2: feel as though the world is crashing down around them,
Speaker 2: and say, oh, we can take care of this, no
Speaker 2: problem anyway, We'll pick this up and talk about some
Speaker 2: of the other stuff. Of course, we got to get
Speaker 2: to the latest assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: I'm Kevin Gordon, fifty five KRS. The talks.
Speaker 2: Five nineteen in the morning, Kevin Mordon in for Brian's
Speaker 2: Thomas fifty five kr SE the talk station Hey by
Speaker 2: the way, phone number seven four nine fifty five hundred
Speaker 2: one eight hundred eighty two three talk one eight hundred
Speaker 2: eighty two three eight two five five pound five point
Speaker 2: fifty on that AT and T wireless phone, you know,
Speaker 2: and talking about my weekend in addition to this right
Speaker 2: to life, and it's amazing. And you know, I have
Speaker 2: a little bit of problem with journalists, well so called journalists,
Speaker 2: because as I refer to them, the spoon fed regurgitators
Speaker 2: in the mainstream media. And for those of you that
Speaker 2: are not familiar with that term that I use. When
Speaker 2: you look at in Europe, they do not call these
Speaker 2: news anchors. They call them presenters because they're you know,
Speaker 2: when you look at the news anymore, they are not
Speaker 2: going out and doing the investigation. They're not going out
Speaker 2: and doing the man on the street interviews, they're not
Speaker 2: going out there with the cameras. All they're doing is
Speaker 2: reading off a teleprompter. And if you notice over the years,
Speaker 2: you see, if you watch certain channels, you'll start seeing
Speaker 2: the same phrase used over and over again. You'll see
Speaker 2: that on MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, whatever, all the different
Speaker 2: alphabets where they'll say the same thing, you know, basically
Speaker 2: when you I mean, how many times have you heard
Speaker 2: in the same day when like Biden or Harris says something,
Speaker 2: then it's repeated. You know, Trump is an existential threat,
Speaker 2: Trump is this, Trump is that, and so on. It's
Speaker 2: almost like they have the same script that goes to
Speaker 2: everyone and they all repeat the thing. And so when
Speaker 2: I refer to it is that they are spoon fed
Speaker 2: the news and all they do is just regurgitate it
Speaker 2: to us. So I call them spoon fed regurgitators in
Speaker 2: the mainstream media. Problem I have with them is that
Speaker 2: sometimes it's not necessarily the news that they cover, which
Speaker 2: is bad enough, but it's the news that they choose
Speaker 2: not to cover, the news that they don't even talk about.
Speaker 2: And then the way they turn phrases and supposedly I
Speaker 2: would assume that if you're a journalist, you have at
Speaker 2: least some basic knowledge of the English language, and with
Speaker 2: the English language, you have certain definitions and certain words
Speaker 2: mean certain things. So you don't allow or you should
Speaker 2: be correcting, those who try to change the language, because,
Speaker 2: as the Communists showed us back during Stalin and Mao
Speaker 2: and all these other Communist dictators, if you control the language,
Speaker 2: you can control the people I mentioned in the previous
Speaker 2: segment saving reproductive rights. Why nobody's interfering with your reproductive rights.
Speaker 2: Otherwise you wouldn't be seeking an abortion. Which you're looking
Speaker 2: for is legal permission to do a moral wrong. When
Speaker 2: we talk about this gender affirming surgery, wait a minute,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. You already have a gender. What you're trying
Speaker 2: to do is reassign that and mutilate yourself.
Speaker 3: So call it what it is.
Speaker 2: And when it comes to the life issue, and this
Speaker 2: is one of the things that really bugs me and
Speaker 2: has been bugging me well, probably for thirty plus years
Speaker 2: or more. In the newsrooms, they all have what they
Speaker 2: call the AP style Book, and that AP style book
Speaker 2: tells them how to phrase certain things, how to address
Speaker 2: like a you know, if you're right, a story about
Speaker 2: a congressman.
Speaker 3: How you say Rep?
Speaker 2: You know, representative like Thomas Massey, my congressman from northern Kentucky, Rep.
Speaker 2: Thomas Massey, and then put in parentheses are ky fourth
Speaker 2: or the honorable this or whatever? How you do these
Speaker 2: things whenever it comes to a pro life organization. In
Speaker 2: the style book, it says when you do a pro
Speaker 2: life when you introduce the organization, COMMA an anti abortion organization.
Speaker 2: So the organization is called Northern Kentucky Right to Life.
Speaker 2: If you see it in print, it's Northern Kentucky Right
Speaker 2: to Life. COMMA an anti abortion organization. They're a pro
Speaker 2: life organization. So should do you see anything about Planned
Speaker 2: Parenthood COMMA a pro death organization? Planned Parenthood a pro
Speaker 2: abortion organization. No, there is no disclaimer there, there is
Speaker 2: no adjective, There is no comma and explanation. Cincinnati Write
Speaker 2: to Life COMMA an anti abortion organization. Even though their
Speaker 2: name says pro life, doesn't say anything about anti abortion.
Speaker 2: They're going to add that phrase to it. And this
Speaker 2: is one of the things that we see in terms
Speaker 2: of journalism and the way they twist things, they turn things,
Speaker 2: and then they just regurgitate what they are handed and
Speaker 2: they just don't even put any thought behind it and
Speaker 2: even think about what the hell it is that they're
Speaker 2: reporting coming up. I want to talk it a little
Speaker 2: bit about this. I've been involved over the last several weeks.
Speaker 2: I got contacted by a person I knew about twenty
Speaker 2: years ago. He's doing this podcast and ask me if
Speaker 2: I'd participate in it because they needed a conservative voice.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, boy, do I have my work cut out
Speaker 2: for me?
Speaker 3: AnyWho?
Speaker 2: I phone numbers five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty

Speaker 3: Well, she's you watch the Bengals yesterday?
Speaker 2: It seems to be one of the top headlines on
Speaker 2: every one of the newscasts. We'll go through the different
Speaker 2: stories in the different local media, and wow, what a
Speaker 2: heartbreaking loss. I got home yesterday after that Right to
Speaker 2: Life function over in Northern Kentucky, well in Northern Kentucky
Speaker 2: where I live, and got home basically in time to
Speaker 2: start watching the gag. Actually, the game had been on
Speaker 2: and think into the first quarter and whatnot, and I
Speaker 2: told myself I wasn't gonna watch because I had a
Speaker 2: lot of show prep that I wanted to do some
Speaker 2: things loose ends I needed to tie up. I was
Speaker 2: making phone calls pretty much well starting Friday, and getting
Speaker 2: in touch with people, and then you start playing telephone
Speaker 2: tag and then they call you when you're in the shower,
Speaker 2: and then you call them back and they're doing stuff,
Speaker 2: and so really, until three point thirty this morning, I
Speaker 2: hadn't nailed down my last guests. So it was interesting
Speaker 2: to say the lead beast. But uh so I got
Speaker 2: home and I had a couple of messages from a
Speaker 2: couple of the guests and we needed to talk about
Speaker 2: some things. So I talked to them and returned a
Speaker 2: couple of phone calls to people that called me and
Speaker 2: so on. So by that time I started watching the game,
Speaker 2: and I kept saying well I'm gonna you know, I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna watch, not gonna watch.
Speaker 3: But of course, you know, I feel like I feel like.
Speaker 2: Mark Mike, Michael Corleone, you know, Godfather three. You know,
Speaker 2: just when I think I'm getting out, they pull me
Speaker 2: back in. Well, they just did enough just to keep
Speaker 2: the pique my interest to the point where you know,
Speaker 2: you see the you know, a missed h extra point,
Speaker 2: you see a miss blocking assignment, you see this and
Speaker 2: so on, and then what they refer to as a
Speaker 2: heartbreaking loss there at the end, and uh allowing that
Speaker 2: field well to pass interference. Well, quite honestly, I don't
Speaker 2: think that was past interference. He was going for the ball.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, the guy kind of ran
Speaker 2: into him. I guess you could have called it either
Speaker 2: way in my opinion, and was and you know, so
Speaker 2: they you know, it's ever so you know, it just
Speaker 2: seems that every time you turn around, you know, we
Speaker 2: keep hearing the same thing over and over and over
Speaker 2: again in the National Football League, in baseball, in the
Speaker 2: very that the referees become the story, not the players
Speaker 2: on the field, and it just irritates the hell.
Speaker 3: Out of me.
Speaker 2: That's what's going on there. Hey, let's get to our
Speaker 2: first phone call. Let's talk to a dick. Dick, how
Speaker 2: are you A long time? No see no long long time,
Speaker 2: no talk to you.
Speaker 4: How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm doing just great. I'm behind the microphone. Brian's off,
Speaker 2: so it doesn't get any better for me.
Speaker 5: Well, you know something, I.
Speaker 3: Know what you was going to say. You've missed me.
Speaker 5: Yes, all right, I'm telling you to your point and
Speaker 5: everything going. And I didn't like that call either. I
Speaker 5: didn't like that call. Uh it was it was just
Speaker 5: you could see and I said, you know what if
Speaker 5: now they're going to you know, yeah, just but I
Speaker 5: want to say something though. I was listening to the
Speaker 5: postgame show with Tom Brendaman and chickwood with they were happier.
Speaker 5: I think Burrow looked pretty good yesterday, don't you.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he looked on target. He looked like he
Speaker 2: was with it. Now, of course he needs to do
Speaker 2: a little bit better ball control because he did have
Speaker 2: that fumble, and you need to clutch the ball a
Speaker 2: little bit tighter because you know they're going to go
Speaker 2: for it. And once you get the reputation of somebody
Speaker 2: that will fumble, they will make you fumble.
Speaker 3: So yeah, but you.
Speaker 5: Know, I think they can build on this. Now, you know,
Speaker 5: I think they can build on this, and they should
Speaker 5: next Monday night beat the Commanders.
Speaker 6: They could.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we hope, so we hope.
Speaker 5: Someone to tell you to one of my friends. He's
Speaker 5: known as Uh. He's uh.
Speaker 6: Dave, Dave from Dayton, and he's uh.
Speaker 5: He brings me a lot of stuff.
Speaker 6: His family works at art Grass and he buys me
Speaker 6: these uh from Rowley. See, he gets me these jerseys
Speaker 6: like with Bengals, and he gets an embroidered and he
Speaker 6: puts stick from Dayton on there.
Speaker 5: How about that?
Speaker 3: That's awesome? That is a yeah.
Speaker 5: But I just wanted to say though, you know, uh,
Speaker 5: I think the Bengals are gonna be okay, I really do.
Speaker 5: And you know, it was nice to hear he was
Speaker 5: with Chick Pudwick. Now, Chick I knew down here in
Speaker 5: Dayton one of my favorites. And uh, Tom, not Tom Brenneman.
Speaker 5: To hear Tom Brenneman back, you.
Speaker 3: Know that is good. Yeah, I was just talking about a.
Speaker 5: Lot of music. I'm gonna have to come down to

Speaker 2: for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRC the Talk Station.
Speaker 7: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station onety four
Speaker 7: Americans suffers from it.
Speaker 2: Five thirty nine in the morning. Kevin Gordon in for
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas, fifty five k r C the Talk Station.
Speaker 2: I mentioned previous segment that I got contacted by a
Speaker 2: guy that I knew or met about twenty years ago
Speaker 2: when I first started getting on the air and doing
Speaker 2: some radio and stuff way back in the day. But uh,
Speaker 2: and I surprised guy still had my phone number. But
Speaker 2: he called me and he said he was doing this
Speaker 2: podcast with a guy from the Since I inquirer and
Speaker 2: I want to know if I wanted to participate. They
Speaker 2: were looking for a conservative, and I'm thinking, you know,
Speaker 2: of off the top of my head, I'm thinking, Okay,
Speaker 2: you've been around, you've been doing some radio for the
Speaker 2: last twenty This other guy, he's been doing radio for
Speaker 2: twenty some years, and the only conservative he could think about,
Speaker 2: the only conservative that he's met in the last twenty years,
Speaker 2: was me. I mean, you know, not that I'm not
Speaker 2: that I'm opposed to it, It just kind of, in
Speaker 2: my opinion, kind.
Speaker 3: Of shows the.
Speaker 2: Ven ear or lack of intellectual curiosity, if you will,
Speaker 2: in terms of other people out there. I mean, right
Speaker 2: off the top of my head, I can think of
Speaker 2: in the last twenty years a dozen or so of
Speaker 2: liberals that I have either dealt with, talked to, had
Speaker 2: on the program, or worked with on a particular issue,
Speaker 2: and the biggest one being you know, I've talked about
Speaker 2: this before. I don't want to go too much in
Speaker 2: detail on it, but remember the whole concept or the
Speaker 2: whole idea back in twenty thirteen about tolling the Brent
Speaker 2: Spence Bridge and that they had to build this right here,
Speaker 2: right now. And I've been I was part of a
Speaker 2: group that stopped the tolls on the Brent Spence Bridge,
Speaker 2: we called it, you know, tolls or taxes and whatever.
Speaker 3: As part of our group. One of the.
Speaker 2: People that got involved was an avowed socialist. I mean,
Speaker 2: she was a Bernie. She is a Bernie Sanders supporter,
Speaker 2: and we're friends on Facebook. She doesn't you know, she
Speaker 2: doesn't attack me, and so I don't attack her. So
Speaker 2: we just you know, whatever. But she was one of
Speaker 2: the spokespeople for the organization and as far as nailing
Speaker 2: the Chamber of Commerce whenever they had come up with
Speaker 2: something ridiculous, I mean, she was spot on. And we've
Speaker 2: talked and we've had several conversations that except for this
Speaker 2: one issue, there is no reason that either one of
Speaker 2: us should ever even talk to each other or be
Speaker 2: in the same room.
Speaker 3: And yet I still, as.
Speaker 2: Far as this particular issue, she was fantastic, and I
Speaker 2: have a lot of respect for other than you know,
Speaker 2: her political leanings. Her and I met so many different
Speaker 2: people as a result of that, and so I will
Speaker 2: talk to if we can find common ground on a
Speaker 2: particular item, I will work with anybody on that to
Speaker 2: solve a particular problem, and then we can go away
Speaker 2: and fight later on about other things. But to be
Speaker 2: called after twenty years, he could think of any other conservative.
Speaker 2: So anyway, I've been participating in this for the last
Speaker 2: few weeks. This past Friday, he decided to take it
Speaker 2: live and you know, do the comments on the side.
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you what debating liberals is just amaze
Speaker 2: the thought process that goes into their minds in terms
Speaker 2: of how they process information. It seems that, and people
Speaker 2: have talked about this on numerous occasions, it is so
Speaker 2: hard to be a conservative. You have to study the issue,
Speaker 2: you have to know the issue, and you have to
Speaker 2: be able to discuss the issue. Being a liberal, all
Speaker 2: you have to do is have feelings. I feel this,
Speaker 2: or I feel this, or you can just get a
Speaker 2: talking point no matter how many times it's been debunked,
Speaker 2: and you can throw that out into conversation, just in
Speaker 2: the conversations that we've had. In fact, well this past
Speaker 2: conversation on Friday, the whole idea of this. You know,
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris during the debate talking about the damn teap
Speaker 2: tiki torches and the find people on both sides, and
Speaker 2: I said, are you kidding me? After seven and a
Speaker 2: half years, Snopes not a conservative organization, Probably one of
Speaker 2: the most left leaning organizations around actually finally said that
Speaker 2: this is a hoax that listening to the entire comments
Speaker 2: that Trump made at that time, he did not call
Speaker 2: the Nazis fine people. And this guy says, I heard
Speaker 2: him say it, And I'm saying, did you hear the
Speaker 2: whole conversation? Did you hear what was said before? And
Speaker 2: the fact that he said, I'm not talking about these people,
Speaker 2: but there were fine people, and then we're talking, of
Speaker 2: course about Charlottesville, and it's like once something's in their brain. Man,
Speaker 2: I mean, no wonder Kamala Harris was able to get
Speaker 2: away with all the lies that she did and of
Speaker 2: course never fact checked by ABC. I counted what seven
Speaker 2: eight times that she lied as a matter of fact,
Speaker 2: anybody out there and that talks about Trump's convictions of
Speaker 2: thirty four convictions, that's thirty four lies right there. Because
Speaker 2: until somebody is actually sentenced, It is my understanding from
Speaker 2: the people that I've talked to. And again, if you're
Speaker 2: in a turney out there and you can correct this,
Speaker 2: I'd like to hear from you, But until you were sentenced,
Speaker 2: your conviction does not stand because until sentencing, the judge
Speaker 2: actually has the option of throwing that verdict doubt and
Speaker 2: acquitting you of all charges that, in his opinion, they
Speaker 2: didn't rise to the level of a conviction. And so
Speaker 2: you know, all this nonsense, and let's face it, I mean,
Speaker 2: starting in twenty fifteen, they spied on his campaign, they
Speaker 2: tried to tie him as a Russian agent, they did
Speaker 2: the whole Russia hoax, they tried to impeach him, they've
Speaker 2: tried to bankrupt him, and now they're trying to kill him.
Speaker 2: And if anybody thinks that this isn't something that is intentional,
Speaker 2: I you know, I'm you have a tough time when
Speaker 2: somebody keeps saying that somebody is hitler, that somebody is
Speaker 2: an existential threat to democracy, that this man, when we
Speaker 2: will do anything to keep him out of that office.
Speaker 2: That reminds me of going back to twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen,
Speaker 2: the insurance program, the insurance plan by Peter Struck and
Speaker 2: Lisa Page and the entire FBI. Yeah, okay, if you're
Speaker 2: saying comments like we will do everything to keep him
Speaker 2: out of office, I take them at their word. Everything
Speaker 2: is everything five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five
Speaker 2: one eight hundred eight two three Talk one eight hundred
Speaker 2: eighty two three eight two five five pound five point
Speaker 2: fifty on your AT and T wireless phone. Kevin Gordon
Speaker 2: in for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRC Deetalk Station.
Speaker 8: Fifty five KRC dot com.
Speaker 2: Get you Go, five point fifty one in the morning.
Speaker 2: Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five kr C
Speaker 2: the talk station. You know, I over the weekend. My
Speaker 2: wife and I, uh, this is so weird. Our birthdays
Speaker 2: are are about eight days apart, and my birthday's the
Speaker 2: end of August, or is the first part of September.
Speaker 2: Now you kind of give you an idea of what
Speaker 2: goes on in our lives. We said, okay, you know what,
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a kind of a combined thing. Will
Speaker 2: we'll go out to dinner and maybe we'll go to
Speaker 2: we'll go to a movie and you know, depending on
Speaker 2: what order, go to the movie and go to dinner,
Speaker 2: or go to a movie, or go to dinner and
Speaker 2: then go to a movie.
Speaker 3: And we were.
Speaker 2: Looking around for different movies to look and of course,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not gonna look at some of the
Speaker 2: garbages out there. It was interested in maybe going and
Speaker 2: watching the movie Reagan. I've heard a lot of people
Speaker 2: have great reviews on that, which again gives you an
Speaker 2: idea of the liberal bias and the media. According to
Speaker 2: Rotten Tomatoes, they pan that movie, they hate it ninety
Speaker 2: eight percent, and yet the people that watch it and
Speaker 2: have seen it are loving it by ninety eight percent.
Speaker 3: It is the widest gap.
Speaker 2: Maybe not have their numbers wrong, maybe it's eighty three
Speaker 2: percent of Rotten tomnice, but whatever, it is the largest
Speaker 2: gap between the critics and the fans in the history
Speaker 2: of movies. The other movie out there that I wanted
Speaker 2: to we were talking about watching going to see is
Speaker 2: am I Racist? That is that a movie with Matt
Speaker 2: Walsh and where he goes under cover and he you know,
Speaker 2: if you've seen any of his videos and stuff, they're
Speaker 2: kind of hilarious, kind of pointing the craziness on the left,
Speaker 2: And we talked about seeing that. But the weird thing
Speaker 2: is is that some of these times are so kind
Speaker 2: of you know, it would be great to go to
Speaker 2: dinner and then go to a movie at like seven
Speaker 2: or something like that. But these movies, at least the
Speaker 2: ones that we were looking at in the times, maybe
Speaker 2: it'll change, but are like at six thirty and then
Speaker 2: goes to eight. Eight is a little bit too late
Speaker 2: to eat, depending upon some of the restaurants and stuff.
Speaker 2: But then again four o'clock for us is a little
Speaker 2: too early. But anyway, but I bring this up because
Speaker 2: there seems to be a pushback now that they're the
Speaker 2: cancel culture. The left is attacking. See, you know, you
Speaker 2: can't have a right wing you can have a conservative
Speaker 2: first of all, you know it started. You can't have
Speaker 2: conservatives coming to campus. God forbid that the liberals actually
Speaker 2: hear a conservative thought on a campus, because that will
Speaker 2: just trigger them. So you can't even have the movie now.
Speaker 2: Because I saw this over the weekend. It said that
Speaker 2: dell Oro Theater, I don't know where the hell that is,
Speaker 2: but it's Prime Cinemas.
Speaker 9: Do to a.
Speaker 2: These strong reactions from our community for and against the film,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw the BS flag on this one, my friends,
Speaker 2: because if somebody has a strong reaction for the film,
Speaker 2: don't you think that they would run the film? And
Speaker 2: concerns for the well being of our staff, we will
Speaker 2: not be playing the film. Am I racist? As originally intended?
Speaker 2: Please know that it was not our intention to cause
Speaker 2: such division by playing the film. We noticed that many
Speaker 2: of the theaters in Sacramento area were booked to play
Speaker 2: this film, and quite frankly, this reaction caught us off guard.
Speaker 3: The safety of our staff is.
Speaker 2: Our number one priority BS, and this is what conservatives
Speaker 2: are up against. If you want to, if you're a
Speaker 2: young person, and if you're a parent of a young
Speaker 2: person or the grandparent of a young person, tell them
Speaker 2: if they want to be a rebel, put on a
Speaker 2: maga hat, support concern privative causes and go to school.
Speaker 2: You want to talk about being a rebel these days,
Speaker 2: that's how you do it. I will pick this up.
Speaker 2: I'm Kevin Gordon. Phone numbers by the way, five one, three, seven,
Speaker 2: four nine, fifty, five hundred one, eight hundred eight two

Speaker 10: the world.
Speaker 8: At the top end, bottom of the hour. This is

Speaker 10: So if you want to keep up a copycat campaign.
Speaker 10: Keep us on fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 1: And now Kevin Golden filling in for Brian Thomas on
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC the Talk station.
Speaker 3: Four minutes after six o'clock.
Speaker 2: Brian is off today doing Brianny things, and I'm here
Speaker 2: happy Monday to you. We're talking at a previous hour
Speaker 2: about some of the stuff's going on this past weekend,
Speaker 2: and of course we need to touch on this latest
Speaker 2: assassination attempt at Donald Trump. Just yesterday I had mentioned yesterday,
Speaker 2: had mentioned in the previous hour that I had been
Speaker 2: at a pro life function over in Northern Kentucky, Northern
Speaker 2: Kentucky Right to Life, and just a fantastic function, and
Speaker 2: the speaker was just incredible. It's like every time I
Speaker 2: attend one of these functions, whether it's care Net, which
Speaker 2: is an organization that helps women with crisis pregnancies, to
Speaker 2: give them the assistance and make sure that they can
Speaker 2: have the resources going forward to make the right decision
Speaker 2: as far as their child is concerned, and to offer
Speaker 2: medical treatment and recommend and areas for them and help
Speaker 2: basically support and push them in the right show them
Speaker 2: the right direction, and put them in touch with resources
Speaker 2: that can help them throughout their pregnancy and then on
Speaker 2: into giving childbirth all the way. I mean to make
Speaker 2: the decision if they want to give the child up
Speaker 2: for adoption or whatever, help them with that process as well.
Speaker 2: But again, talking to these different organizations and being involved
Speaker 2: in these organizations, and when I go to these banquets banquets,
Speaker 2: you always learn something new, You learn something new about somebody,
Speaker 2: You learn the individual speaker, and the speaker yesterday a
Speaker 2: fellow by the name of Stephen W.
Speaker 3: Moser.
Speaker 2: I'm going to have him on the program at some
Speaker 2: point in time next time I fill in. But he's
Speaker 2: with the president of Population Research Institute and a gentleman
Speaker 2: that was an atheist very much in the doing work
Speaker 2: in China, by witnessing what went on there with their
Speaker 2: one child policy, became pro life, converted to Catholicism, and
Speaker 2: has been a pro life advocate along.
Speaker 3: And again, when I.
Speaker 2: Talked about last hour, that one of the things that
Speaker 2: I usually say to people is that if your pro choice,
Speaker 2: you just haven't thought about the issue long enough. So anyway,
Speaker 2: but talking about this, and then of course during that
Speaker 2: function yesterday, it started at one o'clock and some presentations
Speaker 2: and stuff, and then the speaker started at two o'clock.
Speaker 2: And of course you know that around one point thirty
Speaker 2: yesterday there was another assassination attempt on Donald Trump, and
Speaker 2: so start I started noticing texts coming in off my phone,
Speaker 2: you know, saying that Trump was safe and so on.
Speaker 2: So I didn't leave the function in order to read it.
Speaker 2: But I was reading some of the text while I
Speaker 2: was there, and it is amazing to me. And the
Speaker 2: rhetoric hasn't stopped. I touched on this a little bit
Speaker 2: last that and of course, you know, I have an opinion.
Speaker 2: I'm not afraid to use it. And I think all
Speaker 2: this rhetoric has an intended purpose. When you keep referring
Speaker 2: to somebody as Hitler, when you keep referring to somebody
Speaker 2: as Mussolini, when you keep saying that somebody is an
Speaker 2: existential threat to democracy, when you keep saying that we
Speaker 2: have to do everything in our power to make sure
Speaker 2: that this man never gets to the White House, what
Speaker 2: the hell is supposed What do you expects.
Speaker 3: Going to happen?
Speaker 2: And for the left, for the news media, for the
Speaker 2: spoon fed regurgitators in the mainstream media to keep repeating
Speaker 2: those lines. How can you think that they're not hoping
Speaker 2: for something. You saw some of the tweets. I'm sure
Speaker 2: after that first assassination attempt that some of the campaign people,
Speaker 2: of course they were fired, said stuff like, hey, don't
Speaker 2: miss the next time, and stuff like that, put the
Speaker 2: shoe on the other foot. Can you imagine? Can you
Speaker 2: even imagine all of the talking points, all the stuff
Speaker 2: that would be said if the shoe was on the
Speaker 2: other foot. How many times do you see when something happens?
Speaker 2: How many times when a stupid comment is made or
Speaker 2: somebody makes a comment, and then everybody from the head
Speaker 2: of the RNC, Donald Trump all the way down even
Speaker 2: to the dog catcher in some po dunk town somewhere
Speaker 2: has to make amends. Or the first question, well, do
Speaker 2: you condemn this type of rhetoric? Do you condemn this?
Speaker 2: Do you condemn that? Do you condemn this? And it's like,
Speaker 2: move along, okay, I'm not going to answer the question.
Speaker 11: Yet.
Speaker 2: If a liberal were to be asked that question, they'll
Speaker 2: say something like and something that was an obvious news cycle.
Speaker 2: I'll say, gee, I'm not aware that that happened. I'm
Speaker 2: not aware that that happened, So I can't really speak
Speaker 2: to that. So I'm gonna have to look on to
Speaker 2: that and I'll have to get back to you. And
Speaker 2: it is just insidious the way the left will pounce
Speaker 2: on something. Just imagine if the shoe was on the
Speaker 2: other foot, would they be saying the same things about
Speaker 2: what they're saying here? You know, last night before I
Speaker 2: went to bed, actually well actually right before I went
Speaker 2: to bed, hit this headline from NBC news. Man in
Speaker 2: custody after Trump golf club incident was once convicted of
Speaker 2: possessing a machine gun. Golf club incident.
Speaker 12: From Bloomberg.
Speaker 2: Suspect and Trump incident is fifty eight year old Ryan Ruth,
Speaker 2: according to officials.
Speaker 3: According to The Daily Beast, who is alleged.
Speaker 2: Trump golf course gunman, whyan Rest Wesley Ruth alleged Trump
Speaker 2: golf course gunman. Well, if somebody just goes on the
Speaker 2: golf course and has a gun and he's shooting, no,
Speaker 2: this was an assassination attempt. USA today, Oh, the lovely
Speaker 2: Gannett news service, and I'm sure the Inquirer will pick
Speaker 2: this headline up and run with it. Shots fired near
Speaker 2: Trump Live updates after golf course shooting shots fired near
Speaker 2: Trumps just unbelievable. And the fact that this rhetoric continues,
Speaker 2: the fact that the news media or the spoon fed
Speaker 2: regurgitators in the mainstream media won't call this out for
Speaker 2: what it is and call an end and ask every
Speaker 2: Democratic candidate to condemn this, get them on the record
Speaker 2: to condemn this, to tell them, don't you think it's
Speaker 2: time to start pulling back on the rhetoric. No, because
Speaker 2: the spoon fed regurgitators in the mainstream media, who are
Speaker 2: the Democratic or who are the journalists, Not journalists, but
Speaker 2: the news division or the propaganda arm of the DNC,
Speaker 2: they're all in on this.
Speaker 3: They're all into this. Did you happen to.
Speaker 2: Catch the interview with Dana Bash talking about how when
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris and her support dog Tim Walls were on
Speaker 2: the interview and they said, well, why don't you press
Speaker 2: her harder on her flip flop on the issues? And
Speaker 2: she goes, well, you know, you asked the question and
Speaker 2: then you do the follow up, and you can only
Speaker 2: press so far if they're not going to answer, how
Speaker 2: many When you look at the interview that jd Vance
Speaker 2: had with her for the first ten minutes, all she
Speaker 2: talked about was one particular item all she she kept
Speaker 2: asking the same question over and over and over again.
Speaker 2: And yet when a conservative is being interviewed, they will
Speaker 2: keep asking the same stupid question. You know, do you
Speaker 2: condemn this? Why aren't you condemning this? How do you
Speaker 2: defend this? How do you defend that? And instead of
Speaker 2: asking the basic questions that you're supposed to ask.
Speaker 3: And it's just amazing.
Speaker 2: And when you watch these news programs and you see
Speaker 2: the adjectives that are added, when you look at how
Speaker 2: somebody is portrayed, or a phrase that is thrown in
Speaker 2: there that you kind of and they throw it in
Speaker 2: there so quickly that you don't Sometimes you don't catch it,
Speaker 2: but so many times I'll be listening. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: they used to talk about Walter Cronkite being the godfather
Speaker 2: of journalism, that he was the most trusted man in
Speaker 2: the United States, and all this sorts of the best
Speaker 2: newsman out there.
Speaker 3: Even him.
Speaker 2: I can remember watching the news with my mom and
Speaker 2: she'll say, well, well, look at what he just said there,
Speaker 2: look at how the adged the extra adjective that he
Speaker 2: threw in there, and look at the facial expression. Look
Speaker 2: at the way you know, the tone of voice changes
Speaker 2: when he's talking about this particular story versus this particular story.
Speaker 2: And it was always involved. If there's a conservative that
Speaker 2: you know, he would have a different tone of voice.
Speaker 2: And you pick this up when you're when you're keen
Speaker 2: to it and you know what to look for. You
Speaker 2: see this all the time and when they and you know,
Speaker 2: we don't even have There has not been one press
Speaker 2: conference by the Secret Service since the since the assassination
Speaker 2: attempt of Trump, what sixty four now sixty five days ago,
Speaker 2: no press conference. And yet if there's a school shooter
Speaker 2: within a half hour, we know every social media account,
Speaker 2: we know everything that they've said, we know who they are,
Speaker 2: we know what their background is, we know everything about them.
Speaker 2: We still don't know about the shooter in Pennsylvania. We
Speaker 2: still don't know that person. We don't have all the
Speaker 2: details the failures of the Secret Service.
Speaker 3: On that day.
Speaker 2: The only thing we're getting is from any of the whistleblowers. Now,
Speaker 2: what does that say. Nobody's lost their job. And Donald
Speaker 2: Trump during the debate pointed out and one of the
Speaker 2: things that's lost on all the idiots that are talking
Speaker 2: about this debate and talking about I mean, yeah, Donald
Speaker 2: Trump did not do a great job that night. And yes,
Speaker 2: I think there were a couple a lot of opportunities
Speaker 2: where he could have just done the knockout punch or whatever,
Speaker 2: but he didn't do it, and I fall to him
Speaker 2: for that. But when he makes comments and certain things
Speaker 2: that the media isn't picking up on, and the media
Speaker 2: isn't saying this, or isn't saying that that was lost,
Speaker 2: and the fact that nobody has been fired in this administration.
Speaker 3: Nobody was fired for.
Speaker 2: The debacle in Afghanistan. Thirteen people were thirteen service members
Speaker 2: were killed as a result of the failure to act
Speaker 2: properly and do that was all properly. Thirteen servicemen were killed,
Speaker 2: and I think what was the number, one hundred and
Speaker 2: sixty Afghan civilians were killed, and a lot of our
Speaker 2: soldiers were harmed, maimed and wounded. And yet nobody got
Speaker 2: fired for that. Nobody's gotten fired for the invasion at
Speaker 2: the border. Nobody has been fired on the economic team
Speaker 2: in terms of this rampant inflation, no accountability, and as
Speaker 2: I've said for a long period of time, being a
Speaker 2: liberal means never having to say you're sorry. Phone number

Speaker 2: Of course, we're talking a lot about this is latest
Speaker 2: assassination attempt from on President Trump and former President Trump.
Speaker 2: And you know, Eric Trump kind of hit the nail
Speaker 2: on the head. How many lives does his father have?
Speaker 3: Does he? Is he? You know? How many?
Speaker 2: You know, you talk about cats having nine lives. This
Speaker 2: almost seems as though that there doesn't seem to be
Speaker 2: as though that the Secret Service or the FBI or
Speaker 2: any of these organizations are taking this seriously. It appears
Speaker 2: as though that they are not what do you want
Speaker 2: to say, have their finger on the pulse or concerned
Speaker 2: about this? They're not changing. Did you I don't know
Speaker 2: if you happen to catch one of the one of
Speaker 2: the press conferences. I didn't catch the guy's name, but
Speaker 2: he's there in the press conference, and apparently somebody was
Speaker 2: asking him, well, how is this happening or or or
Speaker 2: why wasn't this there? And he said, well, he's not
Speaker 2: the president, and he doesn't get the level of Secret
Speaker 2: Service protection that the president would get.
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? You've got three people.
Speaker 2: You've got you know, Biden, who by some all but
Speaker 2: supposedly is still in charge. You've got Kamala Harris, and
Speaker 2: you've got Donald Trump. You got three of the most
Speaker 2: the top people in terms of running for office or
Speaker 2: currently occupying the office. And you mean to tell me
Speaker 2: that that's not one of.
Speaker 3: The top priorities.
Speaker 2: That if he were president, there would be a perimeter
Speaker 2: around the golf course, that there would be people stationed
Speaker 2: out there, that they would be doing these things and
Speaker 2: not just willy nilly just doing the very You don't
Speaker 2: even know if it's even the basics. When I heard
Speaker 2: that there was a Secret Service agent that was walking
Speaker 2: ahead of the.
Speaker 3: Golf party.
Speaker 2: Because if you're not familiar with what happened, Donald Trump
Speaker 2: was out on the golf course with a friend and
Speaker 2: they were playing golf, and they were on the fifth hole,
Speaker 2: and he was getting ready to do a putt and
Speaker 2: that's when Secret Service started coming at him and you know,
Speaker 2: tackled him, covered him up, and rushing him off.
Speaker 3: The golf course.
Speaker 2: There was a advance officer Secret Service officer that was
Speaker 2: walking ahead by a couple of well to the next
Speaker 2: hole one. No police dogs on either side of the
Speaker 2: course going through and seeing if there's any explosive devices
Speaker 2: or or seeking out anybody or anything along those lines. Folks,
Speaker 2: this is like the Keystone cops. I mean, this is
Speaker 2: not even you know, if you listen to certain security
Speaker 2: people talk about this issue and they say, this is
Speaker 2: so amateurish that it's almost as laughable. If it weren't
Speaker 2: for the fact that this man is the hopefully the
Speaker 2: next president of the United States, this would be laughable.
Speaker 2: To not have the trained dogs along the course to
Speaker 2: be sniffing this stuff out, to not be scouring social media.
Speaker 2: I mean, the FBI was able to find all these
Speaker 2: rioters at the Capitol fifteen hundred and some grandmas who
Speaker 2: were just standing in there praying. I mean, no investigation
Speaker 2: to this point of how many FBI undercover agents were
Speaker 2: actually stoking the crowd on that day.
Speaker 3: It just boggles my mind. And the fact that this
Speaker 3: guy would have.
Speaker 2: The other So why don't you just telegraph to the world,
Speaker 2: and especially there's an Iranian threat?
Speaker 3: There has been.
Speaker 2: A FBI Director Ray has said that there is an
Speaker 2: Iranian threat to assassinate Donald Trump. That's not on your
Speaker 2: high priority list that you're telegraphing to everybody that well,
Speaker 2: you know, he has basically the minimum security that's necessary.
Speaker 2: Now if he were president, he'd have a little bit
Speaker 2: more security. Are you freaking kidding me? Phone numbers five one, three, seven,
Speaker 2: four nine, fifty, five, hundred one, eight hundred eight two
Speaker 2: three eight two five pound, five fifty at and T Wallace.
Speaker 2: I mean, is anybody outraged by this? Is anybody else
Speaker 2: concerned about this? Is this on anybody else's mind? Anyway,
Speaker 2: we'll pick this up on the other side of the break.
Speaker 2: I'm Kevin Gore.
Speaker 13: Fifty five KR see the talk station fifty five KRC.

Speaker 2: One three, seven, four nine fifty eight hundred eight two
Speaker 2: three talk one eight hundred eight two three eight two
Speaker 2: five five or pound five fifty on that AT and
Speaker 2: T wireless phone. Looking at some of the headlines. I'm
Speaker 2: just scanning, you know, scanning some of the headlines. I'm
Speaker 2: seeing this from the Daily Mail. You get this son
Speaker 2: of alleged would be assassin Ryan Wesley Ruth says his
Speaker 2: dad hates Trump like all reasonable people, but he's never
Speaker 2: owned a gun and wouldn't do any bat I guess
Speaker 2: backcrap crazy? Oh really, well, what was the article before
Speaker 2: where he was possibly convicted of having a machine gun
Speaker 2: or something along those lines? The you know, how did
Speaker 2: he have weapons with him? How did he you know
Speaker 2: what this isn't He's not a gunman, He's not the gunman.
Speaker 2: He wasn't there was it just a plant by somebody?
Speaker 2: Like reason all reasonable people. The Trump derangement syndrome in
Speaker 2: this country is just insane. When they talk about what
Speaker 2: Trump will do, how Trump is going to govern, do
Speaker 2: they forget that he was president for four years. What
Speaker 2: was the economy like prior to the pandemic, And make
Speaker 2: no mistake about this, more and more it is looking
Speaker 2: like it was a pandemic. Look at the stock market
Speaker 2: prior to that. Look at the jobs numbers, Look at
Speaker 2: the economy, Look at the GDP, Look at how strong
Speaker 2: the economy was. We were energy independent for the first
Speaker 2: time since nineteen forty nine. In twenty twenty, oil was
Speaker 2: down around five dollars or fifty dollars a barrel.
Speaker 3: Iran was going broke.
Speaker 2: Russia was going broke because they couldn't make money pumping
Speaker 2: oil and selling it on the open market for fifty
Speaker 2: dollars a barrel. Nobody in this world, with the exception
Speaker 2: possibly of Norway, drills for oil cleaner, cheaper, more energy
Speaker 2: efficient than we do in the United States. And for
Speaker 2: the Biden administration to come in shut down the Keystone
Speaker 2: XL pipeline on day one, stop drilling on federal lands,
Speaker 2: stop selling leases, which by law they're supposed to do.
Speaker 2: But again, you can't let laws get in the way
Speaker 2: of a good story or.
Speaker 9: For in.
Speaker 2: An administration, Look at what was going Did we have
Speaker 2: any wars going on anywhere? Was Russia and isn't it
Speaker 2: interesting that Russia invaded Crimea, or as Maxine Waters calls it,
Speaker 2: Korea back in twenty twelve during the Obama administration, And
Speaker 2: then they've got troops on the border, and Biden says, well,
Speaker 2: as long as there's a minor incursion, we may not
Speaker 2: do anything. A minor incursion. Define minor incursion. Fifteen twenty
Speaker 2: thirty forty people, ten towns overtaken, a mile invasion, two
Speaker 2: miles invasion. What the hell kind of thing is that?
Speaker 2: Do you think October seventh, the attack on Israel would
Speaker 2: have happened under Trump's watch? Do you think the thirteen
Speaker 2: Marines are thirteen members of our military that were killed
Speaker 2: at Abbigate and the pullout of Afghanistan would have happened?
Speaker 2: Have you seen the clip that Brian Donald and I
Speaker 2: can't think of the other guy's name off the top
Speaker 2: of my head, but there's a video where they're talking
Speaker 2: to Sage Steel and they were talking about a moment
Speaker 2: where Donald Trump was negotiating with the Taliban and said
Speaker 2: that if you harm a hair of a military of
Speaker 2: a US military soldier, we will take you and gave
Speaker 2: him a picture, a satellite photo of the guy's home
Speaker 2: and he walked out of the meeting. I mean they
Speaker 2: were dumbfounded, the interpreter according to their comments, and I think,
Speaker 2: maybe we'll see if we can find that clip somewhere,
Speaker 2: but they it was incredible that, you know, Kim Jong un,
Speaker 2: look at the number of rockets that were filed fired
Speaker 2: in the last year of the Trump administration, and look
Speaker 2: at the number of rockets that have been fired since
Speaker 2: there have been days where there have been these test
Speaker 2: rockets that North Korea have been doing. I mean it
Speaker 2: is in the dozens. It is, you know, dozens per
Speaker 2: year were in the last year the Trump administration, there
Speaker 2: was like five or six seven that were fired. There
Speaker 2: was there was peace in the Middle East, there was
Speaker 2: moving toward with the Abraham Accords. And yet the Biden
Speaker 2: administration comes in, We're on the verge of World War three.
Speaker 2: He allowed Russia to invade Ukraine, and make no mistake
Speaker 2: about it. NATO could have stopped it, the UN could
Speaker 2: have stopped it. They could have put troops on the border.
Speaker 2: They could have said no. But with the Biden administration
Speaker 2: coming into office, lifting the stopping the production of oil
Speaker 2: in the country, a lot of production of the oil.
Speaker 3: Oil prices got up to the seventy eighty.
Speaker 2: Ninety dollars a barrel now and then releasing all the
Speaker 2: funds to Iran, the state's sponsor of terror. They have
Speaker 2: had over one hundred billion dollars that they have earned
Speaker 2: under the Biden administration, and they were almost broke under
Speaker 2: the Trump administration. Russia is flushed with cash now that
Speaker 2: they can buy weapons and invade other countries because they
Speaker 2: have the money to do that. Iran can send money
Speaker 2: to their proxies, the Hutis and Yemen Uh, the Hezbollah
Speaker 2: in the northern part of Israel, Hamas at the southern
Speaker 2: end of Israel. And yet, well, we're supposed to ignore
Speaker 2: all this, and we're supposed to say that, oh, well,
Speaker 2: we're supposed to forget that went on during the four years.
Speaker 2: Was he a dictator then? Was he a uh? Anyway,
Speaker 2: we're late for a break five one, three, seven, four nine,

Speaker 2: eight hundred two three eight two five five pound, five
Speaker 2: point fifty AT and T wireless phone. Let's see, uh
Speaker 2: I thought I had I thought I saw a call
Speaker 2: up there on the call screen. But continuing on this
Speaker 2: discussion as far as this latest assassination attempt, and it
Speaker 2: seems that the rhetoric from the left is not slowing down,
Speaker 2: and it is becoming clearer and clearer and clearer that
Speaker 2: in my opinion, I don't know how you can come
Speaker 2: to any other conclusion when you keep talking about somebody
Speaker 2: being an existential threat and just break down. The word
Speaker 2: existential threat means that they are a threat to the
Speaker 2: existence of something. So when you hear something being an
Speaker 2: existential threat to climate change, that isn't a or to
Speaker 2: the climate.
Speaker 3: That is.
Speaker 2: An attack or a threat to the existence of climate.
Speaker 2: The threat to democracy an existential threat to the existence
Speaker 2: of democracy. We've had this guy in office for four years?
Speaker 2: Did he destroy democracy then? And the lies that are
Speaker 2: perpetuated about January the sixth are just absolutely astounding.
Speaker 3: Let's go to the phone.
Speaker 2: Let's talk to Bobby, Bobby fifty five K see thanks
Speaker 2: for calling.
Speaker 3: How are you this morning.
Speaker 15: I'm doing great, my frame. Good to hear from you again.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm perplexed, I am, I am confused.
Speaker 2: I'm not confused. I'm not surprised by what I'm seeing.
Speaker 2: I'm not surprised by what the left is trying to
Speaker 2: pull off here.
Speaker 15: But anyway, well, I'll give you my opinion. And it's
Speaker 15: just one of many people have to realize. And I've
Speaker 15: said this for a long time, we are in the
Speaker 15: midst of a cultural revolution. Anytime in the world, any
Speaker 15: place you've ever in history, anytime you have something like that,
Speaker 15: it's a prelude to war. People don't know the difference
Speaker 15: between a friend and a foe, and an adversary and
Speaker 15: an enemy. People need to make that determination of who
Speaker 15: they're around. Well, when it's not getting me better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, when you've got a media which is
Speaker 2: just an extension of the Democratic Party, when you have people,
Speaker 2: you know, when you look at the suppression on Google,
Speaker 2: how many times now do you search for something on
Speaker 2: Google and it's and the only choices are something that
Speaker 2: you didn't even ask for. You can't get a straight answer.
Speaker 2: You have to go to different sources to get the
Speaker 2: information when you post something now on Facebook, and ever
Speaker 2: since the twenty twenty election, when they started suppressing that,
Speaker 2: they're not sending these things out, they're fact checking, they're
Speaker 2: putting the pixeling over things. You can't even I mean
Speaker 2: nine to eleven photos. You can't even post a picture
Speaker 2: of somebody hanging out of the burning building because this
Speaker 2: is too sensitive to the people. And isn't it amazing
Speaker 2: that every one of these things that they're caught doing,
Speaker 2: in terms of suppressing conservative thought or suppressing this particular story,
Speaker 2: seems to only go one way. It never goes the
Speaker 2: opposite way. It's never the liberal thought that's being suppressed.
Speaker 15: When you have ABCCBS, MSNBC, NBC, New York Times, Washington Post,
Speaker 15: the Seven Deadly Sins, it's the Joseph Gerbels media network.
Speaker 15: And that's how I feel about it. And people are naive,
Speaker 15: they don't know the dangers and everything this is causing
Speaker 15: our country, and it will explode eventually when one or
Speaker 15: twenty or two hundred of these illegals that we got
Speaker 15: in this country that are going to do harm to us.
Speaker 15: And it's coming. Yeah, people were not prepared. They're not
Speaker 15: prepared for the seventy two hour window. They're not prepared
Speaker 15: for the water and electricity going out. They're not prepared
Speaker 15: for seemens having an eighteen month of EAD time on transformers.
Speaker 15: They're they're just living in a dream world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And you know people are being the
Speaker 2: Paul Revere's out there. They're giving the warnings. They're talking
Speaker 2: about the infrastructure that isn't strong enough. You talk about
Speaker 2: I mean, look back at nine to eleven and so on,
Speaker 2: when you started seeing some of these water treatment plans
Speaker 2: all that all of a sudden, the security that had
Speaker 2: to go with them. We are so unprepared for uh,
Speaker 2: terrorist attacks.
Speaker 3: It's not even it's not even funny at this point.
Speaker 3: But anyway, Bobby Brother, all right, I appreciate, I appreciate
Speaker 3: the phone call. You have a safe day and be
Speaker 3: safe out there. Phone numbers five one, three, seven, four nine,

Speaker 16: a break and kick your.
Speaker 3: Phone six forty nine.
Speaker 2: I'm actually six fifty in the morning, Kevin Bardon in
Speaker 2: for Brian Thomas, fifty five KR see de talk station
Speaker 2: phone numbers five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty, five
Speaker 2: hundred one, eight hundred eight two three talk one eight
Speaker 2: hundred eight two three eight two five five pound five
Speaker 2: fifty AT and T wireless phone. Back to the phones
Speaker 2: we go. Let's talk to Dave. Dave fifty five, how
Speaker 2: are you this morning? Thanks for calling in.
Speaker 9: Hey, Kevin.
Speaker 17: Always great when you're in there too. This is uh,
Speaker 17: it's kind of like when uh, like on five fifth, uh,
Speaker 17: when you have a normal call in show like it
Speaker 17: used to be, Rush Limball will be out and and
Speaker 17: you'd be like, oh gosh, who's this guy. He's always
Speaker 17: a drop off the town. But when we go from
Speaker 17: Brian Thomas to you, you feel like, hey, well the
Speaker 17: ship is still moving, moving all ahead, full So glad
Speaker 17: to have you here.
Speaker 3: Thanks, I appreciate it. I try all right, well.
Speaker 9: Here's what yeah, there there you go.
Speaker 17: So here's what I get it that as you say,
Speaker 17: it's it's really they've hyped up the rhetoric to an
Speaker 17: ungodly amount, to the point where he's a threat of democracy.
Speaker 17: And I think most Americans all they ask of their
Speaker 17: media is make it fair. If COVID is so bad
Speaker 17: that no one can go outside, we shouldn't be able
Speaker 17: to go outside for Black Lives Matter, uh, you know, protests,
Speaker 17: let alone when you have so many Black Lives Matter riots. Meanwhile,
Speaker 17: all we still keep hearing about to this day is
Speaker 17: January sixth. I mean, how could they not think that
Speaker 17: there's a threat to democracy when the plain focus that
Speaker 17: Trump is is January sixth, while they ignore all these
Speaker 17: all the riots that took place in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Looks actually, well, Dave, look at all the violations of
Speaker 2: the COVID lockdown, that Nancy Pelosi getting her hair done,
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom going and partying with his friends.
Speaker 17: Megan Whitmer, Megan Whitmer's.
Speaker 2: Husband, Yeah, yeah, poor, Yeah.
Speaker 17: I mean, it's just one of the quietest coups that
Speaker 17: have ever been pulled off in history. Were literally they
Speaker 17: may I mean, I think you go back and look now,
Speaker 17: it's very obvious they were putting the debate in June
Speaker 17: so that they could see, let's see how Biden handles it.
Speaker 17: We want to make sure it's late enough when we're
Speaker 17: past the primary, so we can drop Kamala right in,
Speaker 17: but without having to run against anyone else. But at
Speaker 17: the same time, just do an immediate replacement. And that
Speaker 17: goes again Democracy. There are people who should have had
Speaker 17: the opportunity to vote for replacement for Biden, and they
Speaker 17: didn't get it exactly.
Speaker 2: And look at the situation there too. Six months before
Speaker 2: the coup, how many people in the Democratic Party were saying,
Speaker 2: we got to get rid of this woman. We've got
Speaker 2: to find a different running mate for Joe's She's just
Speaker 2: not cutting it. Her poll numbers are horrendous. And then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden they staged this palace coup and
Speaker 2: everybody jumps on board.
Speaker 3: What a breath of fresh air.
Speaker 2: It's almost like, oh, she dropped out of the sky
Speaker 2: like some sort of Obama like messiah type of thing,
Speaker 2: and she's the greatest thing since pockets were invented. And
Speaker 2: yet the media isn't concerned about being dissed for what
Speaker 2: now how many is it now? Fifty six days without
Speaker 2: an interview. She's just basically given them the middle finger
Speaker 2: and saying you're irrelevant.
Speaker 17: And meanwhile, it was not but a few before that
Speaker 17: we heard that Joe Biden was all he's sharp as ever,
Speaker 17: sharp as attack. And then I asked you if we
Speaker 17: were to put up a poll a week before he
Speaker 17: stepped down and said, all right, here's the people. Whittmer
Speaker 17: knew some Cali out in Arizona, Shapiro in Pennsylvania, and Kamala.
Speaker 17: Who would you pick it, or even throw in Bernie
Speaker 17: Sanders for that matter, who would you pick as your representative?
Speaker 17: You and I and the American people know that Kamala
Speaker 17: would probably wouldn't even get in the top three. No,
Speaker 17: if she would have gotten in the top three, she
Speaker 17: wouldn't have been kicked out in twenty twenty when she
Speaker 17: was running against Biden.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the fact that they've perpetrated the biggest hoax
Speaker 2: on American public since the day he took office, the
Speaker 2: steadied decline in his mental health, that cognitive decline, and
Speaker 2: everybody kept saying, oh, he's the sharpestman behind the crown,
Speaker 2: closed door, he's sharpest.
Speaker 3: Guy in the room, and so on, and it was
Speaker 3: all alive.
Speaker 17: And he's so sharp that he couldn't stand trial. According
Speaker 17: to their own sources. And then on top of that,
Speaker 17: now it's like we still can't figure out who's running
Speaker 17: the country. So he's not good enough for runder reelection,
Speaker 17: but he is good enough to go through to the
Speaker 17: period of January.
Speaker 2: And Dave, I think one of the funniest things I
Speaker 2: heard is that he is less competent to be president
Speaker 2: of the United States than any person that is serving
Speaker 2: time in jail, because in order to serve time in jail,
Speaker 2: you have to be too determined competent to stand trial.
Speaker 2: Joe Biden wasn't even competent to stand trial, and yet
Speaker 2: he's president and all these inmates are incarcerated. I think
Speaker 2: that is that is amazing.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and Kevin, I'll leave you with this.
Speaker 17: It was like this whole situation going on in Springfield, Ohio,
Speaker 17: the media into you know, in conjunction with your sister
Speaker 17: station over there. All they keep covering is the dogs
Speaker 17: and cats. The reality of what the situation should be
Speaker 17: covering is you've dropped off twenty thousand refugees and a
Speaker 17: town of sixty thousand and one of them did kill
Speaker 17: in a vehicular accident a citizen of that area.
Speaker 15: Exactly, you have.
Speaker 17: To You can't just do this without a vote. If
Speaker 17: anything was a threat to democracy, that's it, because we
Speaker 17: should have a chance as citizens to vote.
Speaker 9: Who comes in?
Speaker 17: Why how do they get here? We need to have
Speaker 17: a process, and for them to completely ignore that process,
Speaker 17: that in and of itself is a threat to democracy.
Speaker 17: You bet, Kevin. I thank you very much for your
Speaker 17: time today.
Speaker 3: Dave, take care, have a great day. Yeah. Coming up
Speaker 3: top down, we're gonna be talking to Ken Anderson. No,
Speaker 3: not that one.
Speaker 2: He is an author of a couple of books and
Speaker 2: we'll talk about that when we come back. I'm Kevin
Speaker 2: Gordon in for Brian Thomas. Fifty five kre. See de
Speaker 2: talk station.
Speaker 10: Updates on the twenty twenty four presidential campaign.
Speaker 8: We have to meet this.
Speaker 7: Moment as if our freedoms are at risk.
Speaker 8: Fifty five krs the talk station. This report is sponsored
Speaker 8: by talk Station.
Speaker 3: Six minutes after seven o'clock.
Speaker 2: Brian is off tonight today, so you got me happy Monday.
Speaker 2: I want to welcome to the program friend of mine,
Speaker 2: Ken Anderson. He is author of a couple of books
Speaker 2: of Economic Revolution and Keyboard Alphabet. But I thought i'd
Speaker 2: touch base with him because we have talked about oh
Speaker 2: numerous things over the years, and one of the things
Speaker 2: I was interested in is his take on this coming
Speaker 2: upcoming presidential election. Welcome to the program, ken.
Speaker 11: Well, thank you, thank you, and I appreciate this opportunity
Speaker 11: to have another discussion with you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate it as well well from when we
Speaker 2: talked last, from what transpired yesterday afternoon, I guess there's
Speaker 2: a whole new different wrinkle to this now with a
Speaker 2: yet another assassination attempt. And you've wont to offer your
Speaker 2: thoughts on this or.
Speaker 11: Well, definitely, First of all, I would definitely say that
Speaker 11: these are praying times, and we are praying nation, and
Speaker 11: we need to put aside all of our differences. I
Speaker 11: don't care what race, or gender, or political affiliation or
Speaker 11: non affiliation union. We need to get to rate, get
Speaker 11: away from all of the demographics and really come to
Speaker 11: the Creator as a nation. And actually, I do you
Speaker 11: know from my book Economic Revolution, I believe in a
Speaker 11: spiritual solution to our material problems. And actually Second Chronicles
Speaker 11: seven and fourteen says that if we go to God
Speaker 11: and do what you know in earnest and He will
Speaker 11: heal our land. So there is a spiritual healing. But
Speaker 11: it's up to us. It's up to us as an individual,
Speaker 11: and if each individual does it, then we'll do it
Speaker 11: as a nation. But these are paying times. I definitely
Speaker 11: say pray for our president. There's an office now, Joe
Speaker 11: Biden and all the candidates and our former president and
Speaker 11: candidate Trump as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I just it becomes more and more obvious that there
Speaker 2: needs to be some solutions and everything needs to be
Speaker 2: on the table. I think we have gotten so far
Speaker 2: away from any type of spirituality, any type of moral compass,
Speaker 2: and that needs to be reinstilled. I mean, I am
Speaker 2: not been the most how should I say, a church
Speaker 2: attending religious person, but I mean there's always been that
Speaker 2: guardrail in terms of my Catholic upbringing and certain things
Speaker 2: as far as how you conduct your life. And it's
Speaker 2: it's almost like, you know, we need a rebirth of
Speaker 2: that in this nation. We need something to believe in
Speaker 2: other than government, which is I think pretty much what
Speaker 2: they want us to believe in anyway.
Speaker 3: So we need to.
Speaker 11: Let me interject this real quick, because you brought up
Speaker 11: something that's very important. I'm glad you said it, because
Speaker 11: coming up and understanding the religion and how that goes.
Speaker 11: And then one of that's one of the things that
Speaker 11: divides us, you know, someone the Methodism, Lutherans and all that.
Speaker 11: But there's a difference between religion and spirituality. If I
Speaker 11: was dealing with religion, I have to wait till maybe
Speaker 11: next Wednesday or whatever meeting day, we'd have to go
Speaker 11: to church. But see, spirituality is something people could do
Speaker 11: right now at this moment. It's nothing formal, you see,
Speaker 11: so it's all based on individuals. So so you know,
Speaker 11: that's a good thing that you brought up though, But
Speaker 11: I just want to let people know you could make
Speaker 11: that connection with the Creator yourself right now without anybody knowing.
Speaker 11: That's what counts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you don't need a church, you don't
Speaker 2: need the steeple. You can you can pray anywhere you want,
Speaker 2: and then you can put your creed into your deed
Speaker 2: and and and act your life accordingly. So you know,
Speaker 2: you don't need to wait till Sunday. You don't need
Speaker 2: a Wednesday or whenever, you know, the synagogue on Saturday.
Speaker 2: You can do it every day of the week. Sir,
Speaker 2: we want I want to talk a little bit about
Speaker 2: this third party factor. You know, when we look at
Speaker 2: the third party candidates there. You know, it's interesting that
Speaker 2: the the party that talks about who is an existential
Speaker 2: threat to democracy, how much they are trying to do
Speaker 2: to keep certain candidates that may hurt them off the
Speaker 2: ballot in all these different states.
Speaker 3: And I you know, it appears as.
Speaker 2: Though I keep seeing almost every day another third party candidate,
Speaker 2: whether it's Jill Stein or Cornell West, going to be
Speaker 2: added to the ballots in certain states. How do you
Speaker 2: see this shaking out as far as that is there
Speaker 2: enough there or the Democrats really that concerned about it, or.
Speaker 3: How do you see this?
Speaker 11: Well, you know, you bring up some good points, because
Speaker 11: I think the first thing is when RFK Jr. When
Speaker 11: he stepped out of the race and he endorsed former
Speaker 11: President Trump. That was a huge move because I believe
Speaker 11: at the time he was pulling about nine percent, maybe
Speaker 11: close to ten percent at that point, and that's enough
Speaker 11: to sway an election. If you look back at Ross
Speaker 11: Perrot both times he ran, he got enough to swing
Speaker 11: the election in favor of Clinton somewhere saying that he
Speaker 11: was like Clinton's low uncle or something like that. So
Speaker 11: a third party candidacy can be very important Now in
Speaker 11: this particular case with Cornell West, this could actually cause
Speaker 11: Vice President Harris some problems in Michigan because they both
Speaker 11: appealed to the same anti Israel Hamas sector of the
Speaker 11: Democratic wing. And there are some people they're really kind
Speaker 11: of ticked off with Harris. But I think more than
Speaker 11: them being ticked off with Harris, it's more they don't
Speaker 11: trust her. That is a is a main And see,
Speaker 11: I don't know if the Republican Party had picked up
Speaker 11: on this. I talked to some young people in one
Speaker 11: of the things that came really it surprised me. This
Speaker 11: young man said he looked at debate. At the debate,
Speaker 11: he said, well, I thought I think that President Trump won.
Speaker 11: I'm thinking, like, okay, I didn't understand it.
Speaker 9: And so he was. He was saying.
Speaker 11: The reason why is because even though he came off
Speaker 11: as bombastic talking about things, you know, whatever, but even
Speaker 11: though he came off as unhinged so to speak, he
Speaker 11: came off as authentic, he said, where she came off
Speaker 11: as fake, and he came off as like a parent,
Speaker 11: like knowing seeing danger in front of them for someone
Speaker 11: that he loves. And he's saying, hey, you're approaching the
Speaker 11: you know, danger and the coursure you get the danger,
Speaker 11: the more frantic they get. And he said that's the
Speaker 11: reason why he is so charged right now, because he
Speaker 11: really sees that if we don't make the right decisions,
Speaker 11: it could be catastrophic for our economy.
Speaker 2: You know, I was on air that night doing my
Speaker 2: other show, America's Truck, a network that, by the way,
Speaker 2: goes from midnight to one am Tuesday through Friday on WLW.
Speaker 2: But I was in the studio doing getting ready to
Speaker 2: do the show prep and stuff, and I was watching
Speaker 2: the debate, and I was taking notes, and I was
Speaker 2: taking frantic you know, I was trying to keep up
Speaker 2: and and I'm you know, I don't do shorthands, so
Speaker 2: I was writing stuff down and listening to debate and everything.
Speaker 2: So when the debate was over, I was really upset
Speaker 2: that the fact that, in my opinion, Donald Trump didn't
Speaker 2: do the knockout punch as he should have. He didn't
Speaker 2: take opportunity and correct the record and actually even challenge
Speaker 2: the moderators for not fact checking her and so on.
Speaker 2: But when I went back through and I started looking
Speaker 2: at my notes, I was surprised at the points that
Speaker 2: he did make that were glossed over by the analysis afterwards.
Speaker 2: And now I've seen some comments from some people that
Speaker 2: if you read the transcript of the debate, it is
Speaker 2: so one sided towards Trump. It's not funny because you know,
Speaker 2: you take away the facial expression, she take away the giggling,
Speaker 2: the laughing, the so on her evading reading what she
Speaker 2: actually her answers, there was no substance there, and all
Speaker 2: the substance was over on Trumps side. And I you know,
Speaker 2: I've heard those analysis and it's kind of amazing. And
Speaker 2: when you look at some of the polling with some
Speaker 2: of these independents that like the gentleman you were talking to,
Speaker 2: that's see, that's they saw a lot better than I
Speaker 2: think the people that are too close to the trees.
Speaker 11: Yeah. I think a lot of times we, you know,
Speaker 11: we are really kind of blinded by the partisan lens
Speaker 11: is that we look through whether it's intentional or unintentional,
Speaker 11: and real quick, just to give you an idea of
Speaker 11: a typical answer I would call that can't answer. If
Speaker 11: they were to ask her about, say, global warming, she
Speaker 11: will say, well, I think we need to have a
Speaker 11: conversation about to come about uh, global warming in the future.
Speaker 11: I think that all points need to be heard. Man,
Speaker 11: what do you think about cracking? Well, I think we
Speaker 11: need to have a conversation about fracking in the future
Speaker 11: and on all things that need to be heard. I'm
Speaker 11: here to hear. I mean, okay, we we you know,
Speaker 11: we are looking for leadership, and see we're looking for
Speaker 11: uh uh you know, policy over sentiment. But see, the
Speaker 11: thing is, emotions run so high, and it's so easily
Speaker 11: and more easily to manipulate someone using uh, some emotional
Speaker 11: appeal as opposed to the logistical facts. And for example,
Speaker 11: she came up with this uh line that Trump wanted
Speaker 11: to have a Trump tax, he wanted to raise taxes
Speaker 11: on on a like a national sales tax. And then
Speaker 11: that's the last thing that Trump that I have.
Speaker 3: And I said, I'm you know, I've heard various people
Speaker 3: floating a national sales tax. I haven't heard that probably
Speaker 3: in about eight years or so.
Speaker 11: Yes, yeah, she called it a Trump tax. And so
Speaker 11: but then summer stain because some will say the biggest
Speaker 11: lilli has one grain of truth to it. So what
Speaker 11: what they were talking about is that what they did
Speaker 11: was they manipulated this whole thing about the tear So
Speaker 11: she was saying, well, if you put tariffs on foreign goods,
Speaker 11: then you're gonna then American citizens, we're going to pay
Speaker 11: higher prices for those foreign goods. Therefore that tariff is
Speaker 11: a tax.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that was starting and one of the missing
Speaker 2: points was is that when he was his turn, he said,
Speaker 2: then why has Biden kept these tariffs on for most
Speaker 2: of the things that we did for the last three
Speaker 2: and a half years? And I think that was one
Speaker 2: of his great punches. Hey, we're going to pick this
Speaker 2: up on the other side of the break, and we
Speaker 2: want to talk about some of these other policies and
Speaker 2: some of the things in terms of the giveaways that's
Speaker 2: being talked about in terms from an economic standpoint as
Speaker 2: to what this will do to the economy, but also
Speaker 2: to the nature of the human desire to accomplish something
Speaker 2: as opposed to being handed something.
Speaker 3: My guest is Ken Anderson.
Speaker 2: Author of a couple of books, Economic Revolution and Keyboard Alphabet,
Speaker 2: will pick this up on the other side of the break.
Speaker 2: I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas fifty five kr
Speaker 2: SE the Talk station.
Speaker 7: This is fifty five karc An iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2: In the morning, Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas fifty
Speaker 2: five KR see the talk station. Continuing our conversation with
Speaker 2: Ken Anderson, author and local businessman, economic author of the
Speaker 2: book Economic Revolution and Keyboard Alphabet. Ken again, and thank
Speaker 2: you so much for spending time with us this morning.
Speaker 2: I certainly appreciate it.
Speaker 11: Thank you.
Speaker 2: But you look at the individual freebies that are being
Speaker 2: tossed around, and you know, some would say that's kind
Speaker 2: of long lines of like vote buying, but then has
Speaker 2: so many problems. There are so many issues that we
Speaker 2: see when you start talking about giving away goodies, when
Speaker 2: you start talking about government subsidies and so on, all
Speaker 2: that does is add to inflation and kind of takes
Speaker 2: away the I guess the I don't know the content
Speaker 2: of being proud to have accomplished something, the joy of
Speaker 2: having accomplished something. If something's handed to you, you don't
Speaker 2: appreciate it as much as you do if you earned it.
Speaker 11: I agree on And what happens is that what we're seeing,
Speaker 11: we're seeing politicians saying, hey, I will give you pree
Speaker 11: be for your votes, and I will give you I
Speaker 11: will promise you things that I know that I can't deliver,
Speaker 11: but you give me your vote now, and then I
Speaker 11: will promise you know I would deliver it. And then
Speaker 11: I always blame it on the other guy. And it's
Speaker 11: like the old wimpy from Popeyes. I will gladly pay
Speaker 11: you next Tuesday for hamburger today. So I will gladly
Speaker 11: promise you everything for your vote today. And by the
Speaker 11: time the voters get around to voting someone out, then
Speaker 11: they get them up into another route up and they
Speaker 11: forget all about it, and it keeps.
Speaker 2: Going, yeah, well, I tried to deliver this for you,
Speaker 2: but those means do it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, And so it happens all the time. And so
Speaker 11: one of the things is, for example, when it comes
Speaker 11: to the real estate, I talked to some people years
Speaker 11: ago and they used to have not as much now,
Speaker 11: but they used to call it sweat equity. So we
Speaker 11: had we had some homeowners who would maybe do some
Speaker 11: of the repairs themselves and the process of closing the loan,
Speaker 11: you know, maybe raking the leaves or painting a porch,
Speaker 11: and that was all in part of the real estate contract,
Speaker 11: and they would get a certain dollar amount towards their
Speaker 11: down payment, maybe towards closing costs, and so that gave
Speaker 11: them a sense of pride because I earned this eight
Speaker 11: hundred dollars or you know. And that's what the American
Speaker 11: experience is all about. And you know, one of the
Speaker 11: things that politics is about, this about control of the language.
Speaker 11: And they very very or very slick, and one of
Speaker 11: the things they talk about is the American experiment. No,
Speaker 11: it's the American experience. And the American experience is what JD.
Speaker 11: Vance represents someone who was born and raised on the
Speaker 11: wrong side of the tracks, who are who's faced with
Speaker 11: adversities and experiences the American dream. The reason why they
Speaker 11: want to get away from that because they want to
Speaker 11: keep that within locked within their own little clique, and
Speaker 11: they don't want it to be out for the masses,
Speaker 11: for people to own real estate and for people to
Speaker 11: prosper and to grow and to build generational wealth. Sure
Speaker 11: their families, it's all for it. They're for that, but
Speaker 11: for everyone else, for the average American citizen, they want
Speaker 11: to shut the doors. And that's the reason why it's
Speaker 11: important that we keep our minds and our options open
Speaker 11: and we focus on the policies and understands policies matter,
Speaker 11: and we have to override the quick emotion because that's
Speaker 11: easy to manipulate.
Speaker 2: It seems to me from what I've seen of watching
Speaker 2: democrats over the years and liberals in particular, is they
Speaker 2: talk a good game about wanting to help people, that
Speaker 2: they want to be there for them and so on.
Speaker 2: But they'll climb the ladder themselves. But instead of leaving
Speaker 2: that ladder down, they'll put it just out of reach
Speaker 2: of the people below them, just so that they can
Speaker 2: attain what they attained, so that they can keep offering
Speaker 2: them something so that they keep voting for them. And
Speaker 2: I think this is one of the insidious things that
Speaker 2: they do, as far as keep promising people that we
Speaker 2: will take care of this, we will keep taking care
Speaker 2: of this. I mean, you look around at all the
Speaker 2: different blue cities around the country, and are they any
Speaker 2: better off now than they were twenty years ago?
Speaker 3: Are there worse?
Speaker 14: All?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I was gonna go ahead, go ahead, No, Well, well,
Speaker 4: I was just going to say, I heard someone say before,
Speaker 4: the best anti poverty program is opportunity for gainful employment.
Speaker 11: And if we foster a business, a business atmosphere that
Speaker 11: is that will offer gainful employment. That is the best
Speaker 11: way to do it as opposed to this class warfare.
Speaker 11: We're going to or rich and they're not paying their
Speaker 11: fair share. You know, you you tax the rich guy
Speaker 11: out on unrealized tax, unrealized uh capital gains. Guess what
Speaker 11: they're going to withdraw their money in the market and
Speaker 11: live on the beach.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 2: Just one final question, have you ever been employed by
Speaker 2: a poor person?
Speaker 9: Actually?
Speaker 11: Uh no? And I've always wanted my bosses to be wealthy.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 11: And I tell people treat your your job like it's
Speaker 11: your business, because one day it just might be your.
Speaker 3: Business very well could be. Ken.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, you bet, thank you so much
Speaker 2: for being on the program today. I certainly appreciate it.
Speaker 2: My friend Gott's questions everyone, my friend Ken Anderson. Uh yeah,
Speaker 2: coming up. Okay, we'll be continuing this and more. I
Speaker 2: got some other thoughts here before we get to the

Speaker 2: eight two three eight two five five pound five point
Speaker 2: fifty AT and T wireless phone. You may have seen
Speaker 2: this last week there was this comment uh supposedly by
Speaker 2: Golden Sachs group economists gained out the potential economic implications
Speaker 2: of Republicans or Democrats victory in November election, cautioning the
Speaker 2: USGDP faces a hit in the case of a win
Speaker 2: for Donald Trump. We estimate that if Trump wins in
Speaker 2: a sweep or with divided government, they hit to growth
Speaker 2: from tariffs in a high immigration policy would outweigh the
Speaker 2: positive fiscal impulse from maintaining the most kinds. The problem
Speaker 2: with that is is that was a group of economists
Speaker 2: within Goldman Sacks and Kamala Harris has repeated this on
Speaker 2: the campaign trail, and you see this in some of
Speaker 2: the news reports and so on. It's a lie CEO
Speaker 2: of Goldman Sacks. David Solomon scorches Kamala Harris for turning
Speaker 2: a report from an independent analyst into something that's bigger
Speaker 2: than what it was intended to be. He set the
Speaker 2: record straight the other day. And the problem is with
Speaker 2: these with this in this particular campaign, it is so
Speaker 2: important for the left, for the Democrats to lie about
Speaker 2: something and figure that that lie will go around the
Speaker 2: world until it can be corrected. Remember Judy Woodruff, PBS
Speaker 2: what we're paying for taxpayer dollars for public broadcasting, made
Speaker 2: the comment on one of their shows that there was
Speaker 2: a peace process in the works between Hamas and Israel.
Speaker 2: But Donald Trump, she understood, had called net Yahu and
Speaker 2: said no, we don't want this piece accord until after
Speaker 2: I'm elected, or you know, this will help the Biden administration.
Speaker 3: This is what she said on air.
Speaker 2: Then the next day on Twitter, not the program, not
Speaker 2: the people that tune in on Twitter said well, I
Speaker 2: had read that from an unsourced comment or read that
Speaker 2: in an article that proved not to be right. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, you throw a lie out there and then
Speaker 2: you never correct. Like I said, being liberal means never
Speaker 2: having to say you're sorry. Phone number seven four nine

Speaker 2: You know we had last week we had this Oh well,
Speaker 2: I mean, and it's it's amazing how when you look
Speaker 2: over the period of time over the Trump administration and
Speaker 2: some of the things that he said while he was president,
Speaker 2: and some of these things that have come true, which
Speaker 2: I got to tell you from the start. When he
Speaker 2: first burst on the I mean when he first came
Speaker 2: on the scene in terms of in twenty twenty fifteen
Speaker 2: and was talking about becoming president and some of the debates,
Speaker 2: I did cringe. I was not on the Trump train
Speaker 2: at the time, and I did cringe. But the more
Speaker 2: and more you listen to what he had to say,
Speaker 2: and the less that the other people were talking about
Speaker 2: certain issues, I became more and more of a fan
Speaker 2: and then when you look at his economic policies and
Speaker 2: you look at what he did while he was in
Speaker 2: office and the stuff that he talked about. I think
Speaker 2: one of the things that was the most fascinating is
Speaker 2: that remember when he spoke before the UN and he
Speaker 2: talked about how that.
Speaker 3: Germany and Europe allow.
Speaker 2: Themselves to become completely dependent on Russian oil or Russian
Speaker 2: national gas. They're going to be wholly dependent on them,
Speaker 2: and Russia will control them. And there was a scene
Speaker 2: where the German Deligraate delegation was laughing like this idiot,
Speaker 2: I mean, what a nutjob. This guy is crazy. And
Speaker 2: what happened. Russia invades Ukraine. Germany has started weaning itself
Speaker 2: off of they started doing investing in wind, solar and whatever.
Speaker 2: Their energy sources or energy supplies were falling tremendously and
Speaker 2: they were totally dependent on Russia. One of the things
Speaker 2: that we see here in this Ukraine war. Think about
Speaker 2: this for a moment. Okay, you've got Russia invading Ukraine.
Speaker 2: Ukraine is their people are being killed left and right
Speaker 2: by Russia. And yes, they are killing a lot of Russians,
Speaker 2: but there is a pipeline that runs through Ukraine that
Speaker 2: services Germany and Europe, And you would think that the
Speaker 2: economic prospects of that, the revenue that is gained from
Speaker 2: Germany and you're paying Russia for these natural gas supplies
Speaker 2: and oil and so on, that if you want to
Speaker 2: win the war, you cut off that revenue. So far
Speaker 2: they haven't because I guess that would be considered an
Speaker 2: act of war against NATO. So you're at war with
Speaker 2: a country that is getting fed money by your neighbors
Speaker 2: as you're trying to fight this enemy from invading your country.
Speaker 2: Does any of this make any sense? Where is the
Speaker 2: European Union? Where is NATO? Where is the UN? The
Speaker 2: governing body? I mean, these liberals all want this new
Speaker 2: world order. They want this central government. They want the
Speaker 2: Klaus Schwabs of the world, the Bill Gates of the
Speaker 2: world to handle all this stuff. Well, none of these
Speaker 2: guys are stepping up to the plate. None of these
Speaker 2: governmental orderszations, none of the NATO, none of the UN.
Speaker 2: Where's the UN peacekeeping troops? They're nowhere to be found.
Speaker 2: And yet this continues on and continues on, and yet
Speaker 2: we are told about all these trouble spots, were told
Speaker 2: about all these things that are going to happen that
Speaker 2: never happened during the first Trump term, that all this
Speaker 2: hell is going to break loose in his second term.
Speaker 2: We have an example of what this man did in
Speaker 2: the first four years. Had it not been for all
Speaker 2: the fighting of the Democrats over the Russian hoax, that
Speaker 2: was a hoax that even that even Obama in October
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty, there's a quote by him saying that
Speaker 2: for Donald Trump to think that the election could possibly
Speaker 2: be rigged, he needs to concentrate on getting out more
Speaker 2: votes and stop whining. There is no way anybody could
Speaker 2: manipulate this election in fifty states. Yet once he was elected,
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Russia was involved. Russia swayed the election,
Speaker 2: Russia helped him. Unbelievable. Had it not been for all
Speaker 2: the stuff attacks on Trump during his term, how much
Speaker 2: more could have been accomplished. We've seen what this group
Speaker 2: does that's in there now that Kamala is trying to
Speaker 2: what unburden herself by the past of the high inflation
Speaker 2: nine point two percent in June of twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: gas price is hitting a high of five dollars and
Speaker 2: two cents a gallon.
Speaker 3: Back in June.
Speaker 2: They want to pat themselves on the back by dropping
Speaker 2: gasoline down to the two to eighty two to three
Speaker 2: dollars national average is what threes something a gallon now
Speaker 2: and when during Trump was at two twenty seven two
Speaker 2: twenty four. We're paying a dollar more or more now
Speaker 2: it was two dollars or more before. And they want
Speaker 2: to pat themselves on the back for a job well done,
Speaker 2: the interest rates being as high as they are, the
Speaker 2: inflation rate being as and this isn't a one off
Speaker 2: on inflation, folks.
Speaker 3: We've seen that.
Speaker 2: You look at these prices compared to twenty twenty, which
Speaker 2: people are starting to now do. It's not just okay,
Speaker 2: it goes up three percent this month and on an
Speaker 2: analyzed basis it's a ten percent increase. Well, no, that
Speaker 2: three percent doesn't go away the next month. The next
Speaker 2: month where there's a two point or a point two
Speaker 2: percent or a three percent raise on top of that.
Speaker 2: These are cumulative effects. That's why you see energy prices
Speaker 2: today being forty seven and fifty some percent higher than then,
Speaker 2: eggs being at forty seven fifty percent when they talk
Speaker 2: about a price a loaf of bread, All these things
Speaker 2: are cumulative effects anyway phone number seven four nine fifty

Speaker 3: You this morning?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 18: Thank you, Kevin, my, thank you so much for your show.
Speaker 18: Can you hear me?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Absolutely, thank you.
Speaker 18: Well, there's a lot of frightening things going on, and
Speaker 18: the one thing that is so painful is the child
Speaker 18: mutilation of the doctors who are willing to remove body
Speaker 18: parts and to cancel adult physical adulthood in children. And
Speaker 18: you know, talk to young people and oh no, it's
Speaker 18: so important though otherwise they'll commit suicide. And I say,
Speaker 18: but they are removing their adulthood. They are castrating boys,
Speaker 18: they're removing their reproductive rights. Yeah, how you know, because
Speaker 18: you're very you're even though you have you know, terrible
Speaker 18: news to share with us. You're very comforting in terms
Speaker 18: of acknowledging that something has to be done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And the thing is that.
Speaker 2: There is a you know, they talk about the brain
Speaker 2: that the typical brain doesn't really formulate completely until age
Speaker 2: twenty six, which you know begs the question about you know,
Speaker 2: military service and drinking age and all that sort of,
Speaker 2: so that being the side the brain isn't fully developed.
Speaker 2: And when you look at adolescents, I mean, all you
Speaker 2: got to do is have a parent and see what
Speaker 2: a child does in terms of they come home from
Speaker 2: school they're crying because Jody or their their best I'm
Speaker 2: because I'm had daughters that Jody was mean to her
Speaker 2: so and so, and you know that was her best
Speaker 2: friend and you just want to go, you know, when
Speaker 2: you want to go talk to the parents and whatever,
Speaker 2: and she goes, well, I'm never going to talk to
Speaker 2: her again, and the next day they're best friends again.
Speaker 2: So kids switch on a dime. Kids they are confused.
Speaker 2: And when you talk about puberty, that is a confusing
Speaker 2: I'm for kids, it is somewhat of a scary time.
Speaker 2: And when what they're not telling people is is that
Speaker 2: what you are doing is that you are making a
Speaker 2: lifetime decision at age well as far as the parents
Speaker 2: are concerned, if they do this at age seven eight,
Speaker 2: they're keeping they're condemning these children to a lifetime because
Speaker 2: you have to keep up the hormonal drugs.
Speaker 3: You have to keep up with the.
Speaker 2: Booster you know, like booster shots for the genetic makeup
Speaker 2: and so on. Otherwise you start reverting back, and once
Speaker 2: the reproductive system is removed, you can't have children. It's
Speaker 2: impossible to have children, and therefore you're robbing them of childhood.
Speaker 2: You know all the facts, first of all, the whole
Speaker 2: idea of the surgery.
Speaker 3: You know, if you're at.
Speaker 2: Age eighteen, twenty twenty one, fine, But to say that
Speaker 2: a parent has no right in terms of what this
Speaker 2: child does, and that you can take it to a
Speaker 2: state like you can take that child to a state
Speaker 2: like Minnesota and Tim Walls will let them start hacking
Speaker 2: off body parts.
Speaker 3: That's insanity, and I just it's just I don't know.
Speaker 18: But you know, thank you, because you know in order
Speaker 18: for some people I.
Speaker 19: Know don't believe this is actually happening and that they
Speaker 19: they will psychologically be able to overcome the surgery and
Speaker 19: I'm thinking you are condemning somebody to lifelong exactly pain
Speaker 19: and removing suffering and suffering.
Speaker 2: I'm up against the hard break here at the top
Speaker 2: of the hour. I thank you so much for the call,
Speaker 2: certainly appreciate it. You have a great day, Okay. I'm

Speaker 2: council culture, cancel culture.
Speaker 3: Going on with the movie Am I racist?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 2: Some of the theaters are not covering that because of protests,
Speaker 2: and I reiterate this. It says, you know, due to
Speaker 2: strong reactions from our community for and against the film
Speaker 2: and concerns for the well being. Wait a minute, if
Speaker 2: people are calling your theater and saying they want to
Speaker 2: see this movie and they're excited to see this movie,
Speaker 2: how is that for and against the movie? That that anyway?
Speaker 2: So the cancel culture continues.
Speaker 19: Uh.
Speaker 2: And of course we've been talking about this assassination attempt
Speaker 2: and how the media is covering it. By the way,
Speaker 2: in one instance, it appears as though they're saying that
Speaker 2: it's Trump's fault, which is interesting. Anyway, let's get to

Speaker 20: good man. He's a gentle and kind of Republican and
Speaker 20: I've read his book, and we also do a walking club.
Speaker 20: We're members of the same walking club. And when I
Speaker 20: first met him, you know when he talks about a
Speaker 20: spiritual well, well let me get to what I always say.
Speaker 20: I say, we'll spiritual beings going through human experience.
Speaker 8: That's for sure a chapter.
Speaker 20: You have a chapter in his book that's similar to that. Well,
Speaker 20: what that brings me around to. You know, once I
Speaker 20: became a talk show junkie, and you know I listened to.
Speaker 3: What do you become a junkie?
Speaker 9: Like that?
Speaker 3: I became that way back in the early nineties. So anyway,
Speaker 3: go ahead, I'm sorry.
Speaker 9: Okay, So I said, it's so neat that you can sort.
Speaker 20: Of find your balance there listen to both sides with
Speaker 20: their extreme views, and I say it would be not
Speaker 20: I said, if we could do an experiment like back
Speaker 20: in debate class, where they assign you a subject, you know, okay,
Speaker 20: you're gonna be pro this or your cones or whatever.
Speaker 20: And if you take some of the conservative and they
Speaker 20: had to be pro Commala and just the opposite, take
Speaker 20: some of the liberal and they had to be pro Trump.
Speaker 20: I believe that would be a good experience there to
Speaker 20: see what, you know, how they would handle that because
Speaker 20: in reality, you know, you hear all the pros about Commala,
Speaker 20: you hear all the pros about Trump, and I realized,
Speaker 20: you know, a lot of people won't listen to certain things.
Speaker 20: I'm not trying to hear them. They crazy, they is?
Speaker 9: They that? Well, most of the time the truth is
Speaker 9: in the middle, you know.
Speaker 20: Yeah, And I'll be glad when the election come and
Speaker 20: go so we can get back to some civility and
Speaker 20: maybe more of us peoples in the middle, you know,
Speaker 20: can be a better force of boards own heel in
Speaker 20: this this country and this nation or wherever we are.
Speaker 20: And that's the name Mississippi, James, you know, that's where
Speaker 20: I live. About six months at the year, I'll be
Speaker 20: going back in no family, so you know, the same
Speaker 20: thing will You'll.
Speaker 2: Be getting down there to those low gas prices. When
Speaker 2: you look at the gas prices down in Mississippi, they
Speaker 2: have been traditionally less than any They've been the lowest
Speaker 2: gas prices in the country as opposed about two dollars
Speaker 2: cheaper than California, for sure, but interesting, Yes.
Speaker 20: Well I experienced that. When I came back in August,
Speaker 20: we was almost a dollar cheaper down there, and now
Speaker 20: I came on up cross that line. Or wait a minute,
Speaker 20: I did gas get back to three dollars or something.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, I'm going home.
Speaker 11: Yep.
Speaker 9: So God, I love you. Thank you for setting in
Speaker 9: for Brian today.
Speaker 2: Thank you, you know for sure, good day. Appreciate the
Speaker 2: kind words. Thank you very much, Mississippi Gym. And safe
Speaker 2: travels out there. You know, we were talking about some
Speaker 2: of these, and of course we're talking about the assassination attempt,
Speaker 2: and it is shocking to me of how lacks some
Speaker 2: of the security is. And if you look at the
Speaker 2: press conference that was done yesterday afternoon, it was shocking
Speaker 2: to me what was actually said in terms of, well,
Speaker 2: he's not president, he doesn't get the full secret Service
Speaker 2: detail that could be. And when I look back on
Speaker 2: how they treated Bobby Kennedy when he was running and
Speaker 2: he was still in the race, and so on the
Speaker 2: fact that secret Service was denied. I mean, if anybody
Speaker 2: given the family background, and given what had happened to
Speaker 2: his uncle, what happened to his father, you would think
Speaker 2: to just err on the side of caution alone. They
Speaker 2: wouldn't want that on their conscience or a part of that.
Speaker 2: You would think that they we had given a secret
Speaker 2: Service detail, but no, they didn't. And so it's amazing
Speaker 2: to me the lack of intensity of taking these threats
Speaker 2: seriously and the fact that we haven't even had a
Speaker 2: secret Service press conference since the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3: So again, but you know.
Speaker 2: When you look at these and you know, look at
Speaker 2: what happens as far as the left is concerned when
Speaker 2: they want to talk about violence, isn't it amazing how
Speaker 2: much of it is phantom violence. We keep hearing these
Speaker 2: stories about white.
Speaker 3: Supremacists in the mountains gathering and they're going to be
Speaker 3: a threat.
Speaker 2: Well, when was the last time that materialized? We saw
Speaker 2: about oh, the attack on Jesse Smolette. Oh oops, sorry,
Speaker 2: that was wrong. Do you remember back in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 2: after the election, there was some spray painting that was done.
Speaker 2: Nasty Nazi swastika's painted on the Hebrew Union College sign
Speaker 2: out front. Whatever happened to that, I can tell you
Speaker 2: because I followed up on that about six seven months later,
Speaker 2: and it was not in the public realm, but I
Speaker 2: believe from the comments that they were ducking and dodging
Speaker 2: and saying, well, this guy will have to call you back.
Speaker 2: It's been handled, it's been taken care of. I think
Speaker 2: it was probably an inside job. To remember, at the
Speaker 2: same time, there was some spray painting of racial epithets
Speaker 2: put on the bleachers at Withrow High School. They had
Speaker 2: the guy on camera, they could see him. How come
Speaker 2: somebody was not prosecuted for that. Did they find out
Speaker 2: who it was and that, oh, this wasn't some right
Speaker 2: wing extremists, that it was possibly somebody who had access
Speaker 2: to it that was trying to gin up some racial
Speaker 2: animosity towards you know that it's the white racists that
Speaker 2: are creating this. Remember the noos in the garage on
Speaker 2: the NASCAR circuit, Remember the noose that supposedly was found
Speaker 2: at the Obama Library construction site.
Speaker 3: Whatever happened to that investigation? Was it a hoax?
Speaker 2: Did they find out that, oh, actually it wasn't a
Speaker 2: news It was just a loop of something that you know,
Speaker 2: construction material or something along those lines. You know the
Speaker 2: NASCAR the noose, it was the garage polars. It was
Speaker 2: a rope that was put in a loop so that
Speaker 2: you could pull the garage door down. But no, that
Speaker 2: made national headlines. Okay, then, as I said, you would
Speaker 2: think of the Obama Library, if there was a noose
Speaker 2: on the construction site, that somebody would have been prosecuted,
Speaker 2: that they would have made an example out of that person.
Speaker 2: We keep hearing about the transphobic language lead to suicide,
Speaker 2: while the manifesto of that shooter in Tennessee, the trans
Speaker 2: male or the trans woman that did the shooting down
Speaker 2: in Nashville, that manifesto was suppressed. How about we still
Speaker 2: do not have an answer. We do not have an
Speaker 2: idea of the motivation or anything for that Las Vegas shooting.
Speaker 2: Fifty eight people were killed that night, and we don't
Speaker 2: know what happened. We don't know what the bottom line
Speaker 2: of that. We talk about harassment, we talk about these
Speaker 2: various things we talk about, but we don't talk about
Speaker 2: migrant crime. We're not supposed to talk about that. We're
Speaker 2: not talking Remember the knockout game that was going on
Speaker 2: where people would be walking down the sidewalk and they'd
Speaker 2: get punched. We don't talk about the rapes, the murders,
Speaker 2: the well we talk about them, and they're the conservative
Speaker 2: media talks about that. But you don't hear this in
Speaker 2: the national news. They don't talk about the migrant crime
Speaker 2: that's going on in this country. The fact of the
Speaker 2: fact that New York is saying that they are overrun
Speaker 2: with illegal immigrants, that the twenty thousand or more that
Speaker 2: they're housing has stretched their budget, that has cost them
Speaker 2: five billion dollars. When you talk about the thousands of
Speaker 2: people that are coming across the border, or you know
Speaker 2: before on a daily basis, these small towns down in Texas, Arizona,
Speaker 2: and so they have a population of maybe five thousand people,
Speaker 2: they have twice three times that population coming through there
Speaker 2: on a monthly basis, and there's no services for them.
Speaker 2: We see how the liberals handle these migrant invasion, if
Speaker 2: you will, or migrant settlements. What about those forty migrants
Speaker 2: that were taking a Martha's vineyard. Yeah, it was a
Speaker 2: publicity stunt, but look what they did. They claimed that
Speaker 2: all of welcome arms are brothers and all this sort
Speaker 2: of stuff, and in forty eight hours they had the
Speaker 2: National Guard escort them off that island onto an army base. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the liberal caring until it hits their backyard anyway. Phone
Speaker 2: numbers five, one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty one, eight
Speaker 2: hundred eight two three talk one eight hundred eight two
Speaker 2: three eight two five five pound, five point fifty AT
Speaker 2: and T wireless phone Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas
Speaker 2: fifty five KRC the talk.
Speaker 16: Station, fifty five KRC, You're just days away.
Speaker 2: Twenty one in the morning, Kevin Morton and for Brian
Speaker 2: Thomas fifty five KRE SEA the talk station.
Speaker 3: Shine. On Harvest Moon.
Speaker 2: Tuesday, Tomorrow, September the seventeenth, the full Harvest Moon will
Speaker 2: experience a partial lunar eclipse that will be visible for
Speaker 2: North and South America except Alaska, Europe, and most of Africa,
Speaker 2: Western Asia anyway, so on, and so forth. This is
Speaker 2: one of those times during the year when they call
Speaker 2: it the harvest moon because the sun or the moon
Speaker 2: is so big and so bright, and especially if you
Speaker 2: happen to catch that as the moon comes up, I mean,
Speaker 2: it is absolutely huge, and the shine from that is
Speaker 2: so big, and they call it the harvest moon because
Speaker 2: it actually provided enough additional light for farmers back in
Speaker 2: the day that they could extend their workdays on into
Speaker 2: the evening. And this will be a full moon for
Speaker 2: over a three day period of time, and there will
Speaker 2: be a partial eclipse of the Moon that will begin
Speaker 2: around eight forty pm Eastern daylight time on September seventeenth
Speaker 2: and will peak around ten forty four pm. Now what
Speaker 2: I'm looking at here, as far as our weather forecast
Speaker 2: is so on is supposed to be overcast on Tuesday,
Speaker 2: staying a little bit cloudy Tuesday night, which may be
Speaker 2: a problem in terms.
Speaker 3: Of being able to catch this.
Speaker 2: But there are some live streaming events and websites that
Speaker 2: you can do to check that out. But if you
Speaker 2: happen to be able to see that, it happens every year,
Speaker 2: or at least not the eclipse portion, but at least.
Speaker 3: The moon itself.
Speaker 2: And it's amazing when you drive around and it's I
Speaker 2: don't know if you've seen this or whatever, but you
Speaker 2: can be driving down the road and it looks like
Speaker 2: the thing is up there in terms of your vision,
Speaker 2: as big as a basketball in front of your face,
Speaker 2: and you think, well, you know, if I can just
Speaker 2: drive down the road and get up on top of
Speaker 2: this hill, I'll be able to see it even better
Speaker 2: and bigger and maybe get a picture of it. But
Speaker 2: for some sort of optical illusion or what happens by
Speaker 2: the time that seems like the more you drive closer
Speaker 2: to it or get higher up, you can't see it
Speaker 2: as well. So anyway, if you get a chance to
Speaker 2: see that and make sure you get out there around
Speaker 2: you know, September seventeenth, Tuesday evening, like I said, it's
Speaker 2: supposed to begin around eight forty in the evening and
Speaker 2: be able to catch that, it's really great to see.
Speaker 2: So anyway, that's what I have there now when we
Speaker 2: talk about gasoline prices. I was talking with that Mississippi
Speaker 2: Jim James Jim in the previous segment. You know, I
Speaker 2: do America's trucking network, and so I obviously gotline price
Speaker 2: and diesel prices are important to the truckers out there.
Speaker 2: But it is amazing to me when you look at
Speaker 2: the national average for gas prices every day and you
Speaker 2: look at how those prices are compared to around the
Speaker 2: country today. As a matter of fact, California, the average
Speaker 2: gas price in the state of California is four dollars
Speaker 2: and seventy six cents. In Mississippi, the average gas price
Speaker 2: in that state is two dollars and seventy three cents.
Speaker 2: Two dollars and two cents cheaper than California. And it's
Speaker 2: important to realize that California has so many different restrictions
Speaker 2: in terms of products that what happens in California depending
Speaker 2: upon because of their size, manufactures, if they have to
Speaker 2: cowtow California to make a product a certain way to
Speaker 2: satisfy the environmentalism or the climbinists out there, then that's
Speaker 2: what they produce for the rest of the country. And
Speaker 2: so you've got one state dictating to the rest of
Speaker 2: us how and what we are going to be paying
Speaker 2: for certain items. As far as you know, California gas
Speaker 2: emissions and so on. Some of those are in California,
Speaker 2: but some of them filter this way. And if you
Speaker 2: look at their why their prices are so high. There
Speaker 2: they have a state excise tax, a cap and trade tax,
Speaker 2: a sales tax, a CARB regulation costs, underground storage regulation costs,
Speaker 2: on top of the federal excise tax, the national tax,
Speaker 2: as far as a federal gas tax of eighteen point
Speaker 2: four cents a gallons. But all those taxes combine add
Speaker 2: up to a dollar forty three or thereabouts. On top
Speaker 2: of that, you have the state of California that demands
Speaker 2: that the oil companies or that the gasoline distillers make
Speaker 2: a special blend of gasoline that is more carbon neutral,
Speaker 2: and that on itself adds between fifteen to twenty five
Speaker 2: cents a gallon. And so when you see the nonsense
Speaker 2: going on in California in terms of their sanctuary cities,
Speaker 2: in terms of the homeless problem there, in terms of
Speaker 2: the prices that they're paying for their gasoline, why would
Speaker 2: you want a San Francisco radical Marxist liberal running the country.
Speaker 2: And if people don't wake up to that, if people
Speaker 2: don't see the problem with that, I don't know what
Speaker 2: else to say.
Speaker 3: The media isn't going to cover it.
Speaker 2: It's important and it's incumbent on us to get the
Speaker 2: message out. Talk among our friends. Don't be shy, talk
Speaker 2: to people. Hey, you know, if you lose friends over this,
Speaker 2: too damn bad. This country is so important and too
Speaker 2: important to be turned over to a bunch of Marxists anyway.
Speaker 2: Five one, three, seven, four nine fifty hundred eight two
Speaker 2: three A two five five pound, five fifty AT and
Speaker 2: T wireless phone coming off at the bottom of the hour,
Speaker 2: we've got Vikram Man Sharamani, an economists and author, wrote
Speaker 2: a book Making the Making of a Generalist and independent
Speaker 2: Thinker finds unconventional Success in an Uncertain World. I'm Kevin
Speaker 2: Gordon in for Brian Thomas fifty five KR see the
Speaker 2: talk station.
Speaker 10: Fifty five the talk station Dale Donovan here for my
Speaker 10: favorite cause, good Will Autolocks.
Speaker 3: Eight thirty two in the morning. Kevin Gordon in for
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas.
Speaker 2: Fifty five KRC the Talk Station. If you checked out
Speaker 2: my Facebook page this morning, you'll notice that I'm going
Speaker 2: to have my next guest, Vicrum Mansharamani. He is an
Speaker 2: economist and author and has written an interesting book, The
Speaker 2: Making of a Generalist Independent Thinker Finds Unconventional Success in
Speaker 2: an Uncertain World, and then another book that he wrote,
Speaker 2: a Thinking for Yourself. Welcome to the program, Vic Crum
Speaker 2: is certainly appreciated. And I hope I pronounced your name properly.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's perfect, Kevin, yep, Vikram Monstremney. So thank you
Speaker 12: for having me.
Speaker 2: Oh, my pleasure. I guess I want to talk a
Speaker 2: little bit quickly if you don't mind. You ran for
Speaker 2: what the second district congressional seat in New Hampshire and
Speaker 2: the primary was this past Tuesday, correct, and you unfortunately
Speaker 2: and I watched a couple of the comments or a
Speaker 2: couple of the questions that were asked during one of
Speaker 2: the debates. I guess wm R, I think, and I thought,
Speaker 2: this guy's this guy's on fire. But anyway, sorry that
Speaker 2: that didn't work out. Well, I'm sure I'm sure you
Speaker 2: are as well.
Speaker 12: Look, yeah, look, I mean these things.
Speaker 13: As you know, there's a lot of different variables. Unfortunately,
Speaker 13: New Hampshire has a very late primary. Right, we're the
Speaker 13: last in the nation primary, and it's a Tuesday, after
Speaker 13: a week after Labor Day. And for better or worse,
Speaker 13: New Hampshire is also a state where tourists come and
Speaker 13: overcome our state during the summer months, and so no
Speaker 13: one really pays attention until the eleventh hour. And so
Speaker 13: after Labor Day is where the sprint happens. We have
Speaker 13: multiple debates and people pay attention. And despite that, you know,
Speaker 13: there were three major candidates in this race, and the
Speaker 13: three of us, the three of us in aggregate, I think,
Speaker 13: secured less than seventy five or eighty percent. Yeah, that
Speaker 13: means twenty percent just scattered among people that no one
Speaker 13: really knew about, possibly random and even here's an interesting
Speaker 13: kicker roughly.
Speaker 12: I think it was almost ten.
Speaker 13: Of those who came in to vote for the governor's
Speaker 13: race didn't even fill in a CD two candidate left
Speaker 13: it blank. So and by the way, and so if
Speaker 13: six outs, let's just say it was more than six
Speaker 13: thousand people that left it blank. And I came in
Speaker 13: second by a margin about five thousand some on votes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just incredible. And what now, correct me if
Speaker 2: I'm wrong? Apparently I am wrong. I thought New Hampshire
Speaker 2: primary was one of the first ones in the nation.
Speaker 2: It is for the presidency, for the president, so they
Speaker 2: split the primaries.
Speaker 12: Yes, the president.
Speaker 13: The first in the nation presidential primary took place in January.
Speaker 21: Uh huh.
Speaker 12: And then for the state.
Speaker 13: Primary, which is for you know, state offices as well
Speaker 13: as the two federal offices.
Speaker 12: Senate and or Congress.
Speaker 13: If there is a set this this cycle, there happens
Speaker 13: to be no Senate seat that's up, but there are
Speaker 13: the two congressional seats that were part of that process
Speaker 13: as well as the governor's race, so as well as
Speaker 13: all state offices.
Speaker 2: That seems like a double expense for the poll workers,
Speaker 2: the you know, all the network or the networking that
Speaker 2: goes into that and the mechanics of that. That almost
Speaker 2: seems a little duplication of efforts.
Speaker 12: But yeah, I don't know if I don't know if
Speaker 12: that's true, because let me tell you.
Speaker 13: Being in New Hampshire during the first in the nation
Speaker 13: presidential primary process.
Speaker 12: There is a huge value for being first in the nation.
Speaker 13: And I mean, look, every presidential candidate descends on this,
Speaker 13: All of the media, national media descends on New Hampshire.
Speaker 13: There are civic engagement at a level you probably wouldn't
Speaker 13: see elsewhere in the country.
Speaker 12: Frankly town halls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I guess the local candidates would get pushed
Speaker 2: out as far as news coverage and stuff like that.
Speaker 12: So yeah, that's exactly right, That's exactly right.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 12: You know, look, there's is it ideal?
Speaker 13: No, But I will tell you the first of the
Speaker 13: nation process for the presidential stuff is a wonderful thing
Speaker 13: for the state of New Hampshire. It's a wonderful thing
Speaker 13: for America because look, Kevin, I will tell you I
Speaker 13: had multiple presidential candidates in my living room where my
Speaker 13: children get to ask questions, our neighbors get to ask questions,
Speaker 13: and there is no pomp or circumstance. It is one
Speaker 13: on one real conversations with candidates, and New Hampshire does
Speaker 13: a great job of sniffing out, you know, real candidates
Speaker 13: versus those that are a little.
Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing that that, you know, that is one
Speaker 2: of those facets of our political process that is just
Speaker 2: so unique to us and especially unique to New Hampshire. That, yeah,
Speaker 2: that is really cool. Hey, I we need to take
Speaker 2: a quick break. It's away our clock works and we'll
Speaker 2: be right back if you can hang with us. My
Speaker 2: guest is Vic from Charlemani and we're talking about his
Speaker 2: book and some interesting thoughts that he has in terms
Speaker 2: of thinking for yourself, as well as his latest book,
Speaker 2: Being a Generalist, The Making of a Generalists. So anyway,
Speaker 2: we'll pick this up on the other side of the break.
Speaker 2: I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas fifty five KR
Speaker 2: see the talk station.
Speaker 7: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 20: Man.
Speaker 2: If you're Ordant in for Brian Thomas fifty five care
Speaker 2: see the talk station.
Speaker 3: My guess is Vic mon Charmani. He is an economist
Speaker 3: and author lecturer at Harvard School.
Speaker 2: Being a lecturer there just a wealth of knowledge and
Speaker 2: if you got to check out his website and I
Speaker 2: will post that on my Facebook page as well as
Speaker 2: we'll have a link on it to our from our
Speaker 2: website here at fifty five KR. See I'm fascinating you
Speaker 2: know your first book, Thinking for Yourself, I think is
Speaker 2: what caught my attention when you came on my radar
Speaker 2: screen because I read a couple of articles by you.
Speaker 2: And how does that fit with the latest book being
Speaker 2: a general This almost seems like the two don't mesh.
Speaker 13: Or a ken Yeah, look, I would go back even
Speaker 13: further to my original, my first book.
Speaker 12: So I've got three books out there.
Speaker 13: The first book is about financial bubbles, and I'll quickly
Speaker 13: connect the dots between the financial bubble book, the book
Speaker 13: Thinking for Yourself and it's called Think for Yourself, and
Speaker 13: then this latest book to journalist. What I found, Kevin
Speaker 13: very simply was when I studied financial bubbles, it turned
Speaker 13: out that actually, while many economists would say you can't
Speaker 13: see a financial bubble, what I found was that if
Speaker 13: you use multiple lenses to evaluate it, that you could
Speaker 13: in fact probabilistically figure out whether you were more likely
Speaker 13: or not to be in a bubble. And the way
Speaker 13: I did that is I said, not just economics, you
Speaker 13: got to look at psychology, you got to look at politics,
Speaker 13: you got to look at her ba, you have.
Speaker 15: To figure out fomo.
Speaker 13: And then when I applied that multi lens thinking logic
Speaker 13: to the world of strategy, personal decision making, and corporate
Speaker 13: decision making, what I found was actually it also worked.
Speaker 13: You have to be able to connect dots in a
Speaker 13: world where everyone is focused on generating dots. And I
Speaker 13: found this true in medicine. I found it true in
Speaker 13: personal finance as well as large corporate decisions and government actions.
Speaker 13: I said, you have to look through not only an
Speaker 13: economic lens, but also a geopolitical lens. You have to
Speaker 13: understand what's happening with technology, you have to understand what's
Speaker 13: happening in energy, you have to understand what's happening with
Speaker 13: individual psychology, culture, et cetera, and.
Speaker 2: Kind of the big picture effect, not just concentrating on
Speaker 2: a particular focus. And then, as you mentioned, the herd mentality,
Speaker 2: which is extremely dangerous, especially when you start looking at
Speaker 2: some of the investments and that type of thing that
Speaker 2: people were moving into. Well, whenever you've seen these bubbles
Speaker 2: whether it was the dot com bust in the the
Speaker 2: nineties and then the housing market in the late or
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight thereabouts in twenty twentylindsight you say, oh,
Speaker 2: here were the warning signs. Well, the warning signs were there,
Speaker 2: you just chose to ignore them.
Speaker 13: Well, that's right. And so just to quickly finish up there, Kevin.
Speaker 13: The generalist book, the one that's called The Making of
Speaker 13: a Generalist, is in fact that right, which is what
Speaker 13: is a generalist?
Speaker 12: A generalist is someone who.
Speaker 13: Prioritizes breadth of experience over depth of expertise.
Speaker 12: And the logic here.
Speaker 13: Is connecting dots using multiple perspectives, multiple disciplines or lenses
Speaker 13: is actually helpful to navigate uncertainty. So it's sort of
Speaker 13: a contrarian logic. Everyone gets taught, develop your expertise, your niche,
Speaker 13: and get deep and you know, learn something more than
Speaker 13: anyone else. Right, I'm going to suggest, actually that's not helpful.
Speaker 13: That's not helpful, particularly.
Speaker 12: In the time of artificial intelligence and technology.
Speaker 13: What you want is to be able to connect uts
Speaker 13: across these areas of expecuse.
Speaker 2: And you know, when you vic monscharm Ramani is my
Speaker 2: guess the you know when you talk about that in
Speaker 2: terms of drilling down on just a particular data points
Speaker 2: or this is where you see where in I guess
Speaker 2: government or in regulations that they believe that they are
Speaker 2: almost like the center of the universe and that everything
Speaker 2: evolves around them, whether it be the Federal Highway Traffic
Speaker 2: Safety Administration or the EPA or CDC or whatever. They
Speaker 2: don't seem to think outside of their area and see
Speaker 2: how whatever these ramifications will be out in the world.
Speaker 2: And I've seen some people talk in terms of what
Speaker 2: they should do with the federal government is instead of
Speaker 2: having all of these departments in Washington, maybe move them out. Hey,
Speaker 2: how about the Department of Agriculture be out where agriculture is?
Speaker 3: You know that's right?
Speaker 13: No, no, look, I agree with you, completely, completely agree him.
Speaker 12: Look it's not just and I'll broaden it. Look, it's
Speaker 12: this idea that experts know best.
Speaker 13: Yes, that actually there are people behind a desk who
Speaker 13: should tell all of us in the real world what
Speaker 13: to do. Like that is an offensive concept to me.
Speaker 13: I actually think a lot of us have knowledge and insight.
Speaker 13: And you know what, who knows better about me and
Speaker 13: my family than me and my family. No one can
Speaker 13: be literally, I think I'm the most informant person on that,
Speaker 13: and so therefore having experts of any sort tell us
Speaker 13: how to do things is at some level offensive, right,
Speaker 13: I mean again, we'll go back to the pandemic. I
Speaker 13: wrote this and think for yourself. You know, what was
Speaker 13: the cost? Actually I wrote it about think for yourself later,
Speaker 13: what was the cost of people missing mammograms or missing
Speaker 13: dental appointments that was not factored into the public health
Speaker 13: decision making process. Now maybe you could argue it didn't
Speaker 13: need to be, but there was a cost. It was
Speaker 13: not zero. People missing a mammogram led to probably having
Speaker 13: more cancer and probably more death than any public health
Speaker 13: official even factored into their process or.
Speaker 3: Even wanted to talk about it, or even wanted.
Speaker 15: To talk about.
Speaker 13: So they just talk about, oh, we have to lock down,
Speaker 13: we have to do but that's that's okay. Fine, you
Speaker 13: can argue, and I would I'm not sure I would
Speaker 13: agree that there were benefits, but you for sure have
Speaker 13: to accept that there were costs. And this gets to
Speaker 13: your point, which is the expert class, and embodied in
Speaker 13: some bureaucratic institutions, that you have three letter agencies in
Speaker 13: that way, that expert class feels that they know better
Speaker 13: than the rest of us, And that is what for
Speaker 13: yourself is the opposite of that book was written to say,
Speaker 13: all of us know enough to be able to make
Speaker 13: our own decisions. All these experts live in silos. They
Speaker 13: don't understand the big picture. Only you can understand the
Speaker 13: big picture of your own decisions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my wife, from time to time will make the comment,
Speaker 2: you know, it appears as though our best and brightest
Speaker 2: ain't so best and bright sometimes, which.
Speaker 12: Well, that's right, that's right, that's exactly right. Yeah, I mean, look,
Speaker 12: it's funny.
Speaker 13: The reason I used the title for that book called
Speaker 13: Think for Yourself, which is the image I had, was,
Speaker 13: you know, and my mother never really did this, but
Speaker 13: you can imagine a mother sort of slapping, you know,
Speaker 13: not in a violent way, of course. Wait a minute, now,
Speaker 13: it's sort of you know, telling a child stop this
Speaker 13: and think for yourself, Like, don't just follow her behavior,
Speaker 13: don't just these things that are stupid. If you know
Speaker 13: something is stupid, actually don't do it because someone told
Speaker 13: you to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Billy jumps off the cliff, would you jump
Speaker 2: off the cliffs whole.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's freezing cold outside, Go stick your tongue on
Speaker 13: the flagpole.
Speaker 12: Yeah no, don't like, don't do that.
Speaker 15: That's stupid.
Speaker 13: But yet, somehow, as we grow into adults, we start
Speaker 13: listening rather than to the cool kid, we start listening
Speaker 13: to the quote unquote expert who.
Speaker 12: Frankly doesn't understand the world the way they pretend to.
Speaker 2: No, and and and it's and it's obvious by a
Speaker 2: lot of the decisions and a lot of things that
Speaker 2: you see.
Speaker 3: It's it's you come and away scratching your head.
Speaker 2: And especially you know, having a background of economics, and
Speaker 2: I am I am a recovering accountant, so I have
Speaker 2: a tendency of delving out to the numbers way too often,
Speaker 2: and so it it. You know, things have to make
Speaker 2: sense to me. They have to pass the smell test.
Speaker 2: And so yeah, yep, exactly exactly.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's important to that.
Speaker 13: I mean, look, I do I do a lot of
Speaker 13: global work too, so it's important to think globally. It's
Speaker 13: important across industries, silos, think about geopolitics, economic make local
Speaker 13: technology developments. I mean, there's you have to connect dots.
Speaker 13: We live in a world where too many people focus
Speaker 13: on generating dots.
Speaker 12: We need to connect us. That is the way to
Speaker 12: navigate uncertainty.
