WEBVTT - Keep Your Knees Together 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.920 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:12.520 Jettie and he. 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:26.119 Armstrong and Yetty. He did what was right for our nation, 0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:28.640 and so. 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:32.200 On that terrible day September tenth, twenty twenty. 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:37.560 Five, our greatest evangelist for American liberty became immortal. 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:43.200 He's a model now for American freedom. 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:49.160 The Charlie Cook Memorial yesterday, Charlie Kirks Memorial, drew about 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:54.280 one hundred million people in viewership according to ratings. 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:54.920 I just saw. 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.680 That's big. They had about two hundred thousand people show 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.040 up in person. They got about eighty thousand people into 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.160 the building. It was five hours long, and it was 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:09.880 a combination of politics and you know, tent revival, thereat, 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:14.000 the next great awakening of Christianity in this country. 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:15.840 Yeah, it was really interesting. 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.080 I didn't watch the whole thing again, it was five 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:23.400 hours long, but what I witnessed personally and the clips 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.760 I've come across as well, the good, the bad, the ugly, 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:33.560 the strange. It was a very American ceremony. And we'll 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.040 play you some of the highlights and perhaps you might 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:36.800 think low lights. 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.280 I don't know. But that was Donald J. 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.520 Trump, the President of the United States, who was the 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.000 keynote speaker, the last fella to speak, and he went 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:49.840 on for about forty five minutes. What he just said 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.120 there was beautiful, I think, and most can agree with it. 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:53.919 Then he went on to say this. 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:58.160 It was a missionary with a noble spirit and a great, 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.680 great purpose, did not hate his opponents. 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:02.760 He wanted. 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.680 The best for them. That's where I disagreed with Charlie. 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.440 I hate my opponent and I don't want the best 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:11.799 for them. 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.160 I'm sorry. I am sorry, Erica. 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.480 But now Erica can talk to me and the whole 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.079 group and maybe they can convince me that that's not right. 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:21.880 But I can't stand my opponent. 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.799 That's interesting. It's interesting taking it. It seems to have been, 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:28.239 you know, ad libbed. 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.520 Yeah, And you know what, it's a lot more charming 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:36.240 in the audio than it is in print. Sure, because 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.160 a lot of news outlets are going with that, and 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.919 in the cold black and white to print, it seems 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.760 very well cold. But I like the way he said, Sorry, Erica, 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.800 I'm trying, but you know it was it was a 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.160 very human I didn't mind that a bit. Speaking of 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:53.080 Erica Kirk, she wowed, as she seems to every time 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.720 she opens her mouth. Charlie Kirk's widow, in the new 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:04.040 CEO for Turning Point USA, said this, that man, that 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:05.120 young man. 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:17.799 I forgive him. 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.280 I forgive him because it was what Christ did. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:28.079 And is what Charlie would do. The answer to hate 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.000 is not hate. 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:31.680 The answer we. 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:36.520 Know from the Gospel is love and always love, love 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:41.520 for our enemies, and love for those who persecute us. 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.280 And she's like, I'm looking up at the TV bank 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:48.680 right now. She is on all three networks right now, 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.160 the big networks, which don't mean anything, by the way, 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.280 which is a part of the FCC discussion we'll get 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.680 to later. But as Joe pointed out in our one 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:01.320 tremendous amount of fair positive coverage from the mainstream media 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:06.400 media about what she had to say yesterday, which was heartening. 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.120 The lead up to her saying she forgives him was 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.040 that the young man that killed her husband was the 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.640 exact sort of guy, young man that Charlie Kirk was 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.960 going around the country trying to reach with his message 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:26.479 of the Gospels. Again, the emphasis from her was really 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.560 more about spreading the Word of Jesus, and then you know, 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:35.440 throughout the five hour Speakethon there is stuff that leaned 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.000 more toward, you know, the politics of it as opposed 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:40.760 to spreading the Gospel. 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:41.560 Right. 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.000 I think that's probably at least somewhat uncomfortable with the 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.560 fact that Charlie is characterized over and over again as 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:49.760 a proselytizer for Donald J. 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.359 Trump, Right, yeah, Jesus Christ. 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.360 So I think that's what I missed in the last 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.320 week because I was not. I'm not a young man, 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.599 that's for certain, and I was not in the Charlie 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:01.559 Kirk orbit. What I think I missed most mainstream media 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.240 is missing because how much of the mainstream media that 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:09.599 covered his assassination, and since then some of them didn't 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.680 even know his name, and then some of them knew 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.160 his name, but nothing beyond that, and then all of 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.440 a sudden they're covering it, and it's just he was 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.400 a surrogate for Donald Trump as opposed to is a 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.200 surrogate for Jesus. That's his main thing in life is 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:26.760 going around the country preaching the Gospels. 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.719 And certainly part of the package of messages he brought 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.240 to people went beyond that, sure, but it was all 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.400 about you know, principles and holding them dear, and which 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.719 principles work for your life and which don't speaking which 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.600 I think this is a perspective worth hearing. 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.800 Clip forty two. This is ABC News. 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.000 Tens of thousands of mourners gathering at State Farm Stadium 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:53.080 in Glendale, Arizona, to honor slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk. 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.880 Attendees asked to dress in their quote Sunday best, with red, white, 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.000 and blue colors encouraged. The service was given the high 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:04.039 possible security risk assessment rating by the Department of Homeland Security, 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.080 local police telling our Jacqueline Lee that the stadium would 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.000 be monitored by thousands of cameras and hundreds of law 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:14.240 enforcement officers, some on horseback, others equipped with canine units 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:15.680 and drone support. 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.560 Lots of drone support, from what I understand, which was 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.920 obviously missing on that dark, dark day. 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.840 Right which you know we talked about this a little 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.880 while you were gone. Was talking to a friend in 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:32.400 the world of security. It's unrealistic to have. Well, first 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:37.200 of all, Donald Trump nearly got killed with presidential level security, right. 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.679 He came close enough to getting killed two different times 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.080 with presidential level security, one of them after a previous 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.560 assassination attempts. He can't get better security than that. The 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.520 idea that you're going to have anything with him, you know, 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.799 miles of that for every controversial person that steps onto 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:53.599 a college campus. 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:54.920 It's just unrealistic. 0:06:55.839 --> 0:07:02.760 Wow wow, yeah, true. So I think there was one more. 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:07.360 I definitely wanted to run. Well, here's a question for you, Jack. 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:13.920 Do you want Marco Rubio being very sincere speaking eloquently 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:16.320 or Tucker Carlson being weird? 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:17.680 Oh? 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.680 Man, I won't actually have time for both. Yeah, I 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.440 want to hear both of those. Yeah, bring us Rubio first. 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.120 Michael forty seven place. 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:29.960 His deep belief that we were all created, every single one. 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.960 Of us before the beginning of time, by the hands. 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.320 Of the God of the universe and all powerful God, 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:37.640 who loved us and created us for the. 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.480 Purpose of living with him in eternity. 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.840 But then sin entered the world and separated us from 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:43.440 our creator. 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:45.760 And so God took on the form of. 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.320 A man and came down and lived among us, and 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.960 he suffered like men, and he. 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:52.960 Died like a man. 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.600 But on the third day he rose unlike any mortal man. 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:03.600 And then, and to prove any. 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.200 Doubters wrong, he ate with his disciples so they could 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:07.800 see and they touched his wounds. 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.080 He didn't rise as a ghost or as a spirit, 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.360 but his flesh. 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:13.520 And then he rose to the heaven. 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.000 But he promised he would return, and he will. 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.720 And when he returns, because he took on that death, 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:20.520 because he. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.880 Carried that cross, we were freed from the sin that 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:24.040 separated us from him. 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.520 And when he returns, there will be a new heaven 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.760 and a new earth, and we will all be together and. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.280 We are going to have a great reunion. 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.120 There again with Charlie and all the people we love. 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:36.760 Thank you, and God bless me. 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.080 That's not about Donald Trump. Yeah, that's not about Donald Trump. 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.560 And that's what most of the crowd is there for, 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.560 is that sort of thing. And I do think that 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.959 that has been missed the last week and a half. 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.960 Yeah, And I'd meant to make the point after the 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.680 clip from ABC News that they're now referring to. Charlie 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:03.000 Kirk is a conservative activist which has evolved slightly from 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:08.440 far right wing provocateur, which seemed to be the wording 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.959 of choice. I believe this is no pun intended, a 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.199 turning point and a preference cascade, a term you've heard 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.640 us throwing around lately. We'll talk about that a little 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:19.240 bit more later in the hour. 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.439 Let's see, is now the appropriate time, Michael. 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.840 To speak to the good folks about our friends at Webroot. Yes, Webroote. 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:32.800 TransUnion confirmed a breach recently, over four million people affected. 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.800 That's a wake up call, friends, let's do this. 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.840 That's a company that got hacked and then it affects you, 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.240 as we all know, or sometimes you can get hacked 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.719 and that is a nightmare.

So it's 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.959 about two thousand years ago in Jerusalem and Jesus shows 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:49.040 up and he starts talking about the people in power, 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.920 and he starts doing the worst thing that you can do, 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.200 which is telling the truth about people. And they hate it, 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.880 and they just go bonkers. They hate it, and they 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.400 become obsessed with make and stop. This guy's got to 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:05.120 stop talking. We've got to shut this guy up. And 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:06.839 I can just sort of picture the scene in a 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.120 lamp lit room with a bunch of guys sitting around 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.600 eating hummus, thinking about what do we do about this 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.400 guy telling the truth about us? 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:19.120 We must make him stop talking. And there's always. 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.320 One guy with the bright idea, and I could just 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:21.880 hear him say I've got an idea, why don't we 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:32.480 just kill him. That'll shut him up, that'll fix the problem. 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:33.920 It doesn't work that way. 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:35.560 I get it. 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.640 Yeah, I understand exactly what he's saying. They thought they 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:45.800 was unhinged visually. Oh really, I see that's interesting that 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.880 that's the way you describe it, because I've only heard 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.720 that and read about it, and it sounded like a 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:53.960 pretty good description of what happened. You got Jesus spreading 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.760 the word and being disruptive to the powerful, and they 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.319 thought we'll kill him, and that did not shut him up. 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.000 And he's making point about Charlie kirk Charlie Kirks got killed, 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:03.560 and that is not going to shut him up or 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:04.600 end his movement either. 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.480 No, No, indeed, quite the opposite. I believe. 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.439 I think it's worth noting, as a semi professional communicator 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:19.079 that Trump's words were made much more human and and 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.800 and endearing by hearing the actual audio as opposed to 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.240 the print, where Tucker's were made to seem much more 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:31.120 reasonable and and you know, acceptable in print than the 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.160 audio slash visual, which again I found. I mean, he 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:38.400 was like cracking himself up with the cleverness of his comparison, 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:39.440 it's just weird. 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:44.120 Tucker did say some strong things anti Pam Bondi following 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.520 Trump's orders over the weekend, that I was happy to 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.320 hear the right and left seems to have joined hands. 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.760 Normal right and left have joined hands in the now. 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:57.480 We can't call hate speech. We can't start cracking down 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:01.000 on something called hay speech hate speech. And we need 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:02.679 to talk about that later because I think that's a 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.760 good movement, maybe a turning point itself. 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.280 Lots of stuff on the way, stay here. 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:14.640 You know, Tucker Carlson was clearly right in his comparison that, 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:19.000 you know, the in the attempt to shut down Jesus's message, 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.360 they killed him and it only amplified the message. I 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:26.280 think that is almost certainly true of Charlie Kirk. I mean, 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.800 his organization is going to be bigger than it's ever been. 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.920 His wife is going to continue delete it. So people 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.920 who were, you know, doing touchdown dances about him dying, 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:42.080 thinking that shut up that voice are just wrong, just 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:46.080 factually wrong. But then you know, the killer he was 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.839 just he just had the toll trans thing I think 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.360 is what drove him. 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:56.600 Right, right and a disaffected hyper online gamer Unplugged from Reality, 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:00.720 troubled Kid, just terrible. The Babylon PE's headline to your point, 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:05.800 Jack twelve million Charlie Kirks created overnight, which I thought 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:09.760 was a good one, and they retweeted or just showed 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.960 a note from Matt who's part of Turning Point USA. 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.480 He writes, we have eighteen thousand new chapter requests since 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.280 Erica spoke. We had nine thousand college chapters and eleven 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.560 hundred high school chapters prior to this. This is the 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.800 Turning Point, which I thought was really interesting, and then 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.640 I came across with the help of honorary producer Jeff. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:33.520 Thanks for sending along. 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.400 Jeff Glen Harlan Reynolds, who is the writer and thinker 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:41.520 I've been quoting when talking about preference distortions and preference cascades, 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:47.480 and he writes on this topic, preference cascades were large 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:51.480 portions of the public, often a majority conceal their views 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:55.360 for fear of punishment, which leads to everybody having a 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.920 distorted view of who thinks what and what percentage of 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.040 people think what anyway, only to re field those views 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.760 when some precipitating event takes place. And his classic example 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.080 includes the fall of some communist regimes like Romania, where 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:13.360 the dictator Chichesku himself thought everyone loved him until shortly 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:14.960 before he was stood up in front of a wall 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.320 and shot because everybody despised him, but everybody was afraid 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.680 to say so. Anyway, he says, usually those things happen 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.680 in one direction, but in contemporary America they're happening in two. 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.520 The murder of Charlie Cook at the hands of a 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.040 leftist gunman has revealed it in many I got to 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:31.680 jump in with a Kirk, did I say Cook? 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:32.520 Yeah? 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:33.760 And I'm rereading it. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:35.040 Isn't that weird? 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:36.520 I know, it's so odd. 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.120 The murder of Charlie Kirk at the hands of a 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.840 leftist gunman has revealed that many, many more Americans and 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:45.520 even people elsewhere around the world supported Charlie and his 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.160 views and was commonly appreciated. And he goes into New 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.560 Zealanders in London dancing the Hakka dance in his honor 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:56.000 people all over the US as well as Rome, London, Germany, Israel. 0:15:56.560 --> 0:16:01.120 Charlie's views, uniformly disparaged by the presses far right, are 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:05.640 in fact mainstream generally held by the majority of people. 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:09.440 His assassination has caused people to step forward and realize 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.320 that the normal American community. 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.080 Is a huge majority. 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.280 I like that normal Americans as as. 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:19.600 If Irish American. That's very thing. 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:24.120 As Jonathan Turley writes, Charlie was brave and he was brash. 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.680 He refused to yield to the threats while encouraging others 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.800 to speak out on our campuses. He was particularly hated 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.080 for holding a mirror to the face of higher education, 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.880 exposing the hate and hypocrisy on our campuses. For decades, 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:39.720 faculty have purged the ranks of conservatives and libertarians. Faced 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.400 with the intolerance of most schools. Polls show that a 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.520 large percentage of students. 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:48.120 Hide their values to avoid retaliation from faculty or their 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:48.960 fellow students. 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:53.440 Charlie chose to change all that. TPUSA challenges people to 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.800 engage and debate them. People are getting the courage not 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.240 to hide their views, which is problematic for the left, 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:03.000 who state has consisted of using bullying in propaganda to 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:07.000 convince eighty percent of Americans that the view and other people, 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.480 we'll just say the population. They've used bullying in propaganda 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.919 to convince eighty percent of the population, that the views 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.080 of the twenty percent of the population are in the 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:17.879 majority not anymore. 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.879 That could be a turning point. That's very interesting. 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:28.080 Vice President Vance gave quite a emotional and emotional speeches 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.560 he and Charlie Kirk got closed over the last couple 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:34.080 of years. He said it's better to die a young 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.360 man in this world than sell your soul for an 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.320 easy life with no purpose, no risk, no love, and no. 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:43.440 Truth, which got a out of cheers. Yeah, we autograph 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.280 some quotes of JD. I surprised we don't have them, 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.719 but maybe for later in the show. Will this event 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:56.680 actually break through and be looked back at as a 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:57.600 point of inflection. 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.919 I don't know. It's difficul to make a dent in 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.280 the modern world. Everything comes and goes so fast. 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:07.000 I don't think it'll be a sitcom or a rom 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:08.080 com moment of inflection. 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:09.320 It's going to take a long time in a lot 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:10.719 of hard work. But yeah, I think it is. 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.200 Kamala Harris's new book coming out got some fun highlights 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:14.920 and I almost. 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:18.920 Got attacked by there arm Trong and Getty, but it's true. 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.720 Kamala admits Waltz was never her first. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.920 Choice it's the fastest she's turned her back on someone 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:29.240 since Willie Brown asked her to roll over. 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:36.120 Terrible, terrible, it's the crowd reaction. I like to that. 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:43.920 Not particularly good joke, Okay, coming up drama in real life, 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.720 nearly eaten by a bear or anyway, it was enough 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.080 that we ended up packing up our campsite at four 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.160 point thirty in the morning and leaving in the dark 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.399 because neither one of us can get back to sleep 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:58.280 after the bear. M So that coming up in a 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:02.160 little bit, that joke about Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris's book. 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.920 I assume it's coming out eventually. It keeps being talked about. 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.879 It's been going on for months with more. It's probably 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:09.639 not even that long a book. Pretty soon all the 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:11.160 excerpt the entire book will be out in. 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.679 Excerpts, and it's ironic as nobody wants to read it. 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:18.320 No, not really, but Mark Alpern makes this point today 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:22.280 in his newsletter. Before I get to some more bits 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.439 of the book, a super anti Trump New York Times 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:29.320 commalist trashes Kamala Harris in her new tome to such 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:31.520 a degree in the New York Times this weekend that 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:33.880 gives one a clear indication of how difficult it would 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.159 be for her to gain enough support to compete for 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.800 the Oval office, as in, you know, if the anti 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.840 Trump New York Times is gonna trash Kamala Harris this 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:44.439 bad and where's the support gonna come from? 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:45.840 If she decides, I don't. 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:48.280 Think she's gonna run, but no, no. 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.800 Not if not, if she has any grasp of reality. 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:52.879 I don't think she has any grasp of reality. But 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:54.600 I just don't think the money's gonna come together and 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:56.399 enough people, but she won't be able to get any 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:57.359 of the talent on board. 0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:57.840 AnyWho. 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:01.400 Back to the book being reviewed in The New York Times, 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.240 A couple of parts that I thought were interesting or 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:08.480 funny even before the disaster of a debate had ended. 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.600 We all know what debate we're talking about. Kamala writes. 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:15.800 The campaign staff had sent her wildly unrealistic talking points 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.720 to guide her in television appearances. You know, obviously she's 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.440 got to go on TV after the debate, and her 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:23.800 staff was figuring out what she was going to say 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:24.400 that night. 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:28.120 The President at cold he he was slightly tired from 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.480 I don't know, flying around the world, flapping his. 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.960 Arms, including Joe Biden won he fought through his cold 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:35.919 as he was fighting for the American people. 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:38.600 Oh that's good, that's gold right there. 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:44.320 Harris's reaction in the book is italicized. As it points 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:46.920 out here, there are a couple of sentences in italics 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:51.639 that say, are you kidding me? No, don't feed me 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:55.879 that bulls And as the reviewer writes, it's not clear 0:20:56.600 --> 0:21:00.840 if she actually said that to someone. She's describing what 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:04.760 she thought, or she's describing what she wished she had said, 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:09.960 but it's not clear, which she kind of got to 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:13.879 make it clear. You don't get to many many months later, 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:19.560 you know, throw in a what what should have happened? Well, 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.120 right then, that's what I said. You said that, well, 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:29.040 I thought it of the uh remember the old Camp 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.240 Obama people took over her campaign there at the end 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:35.760 to try to write the ship and David Ploof told 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:40.359 Kamala Harris Bluntley people hate Joe Biden, which is one 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.840 of the reasons that those around her couldn't understand how 0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:44.920 she ended up on the view And I was reading 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:47.640 a segment about this the other day. She didn't realize 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:51.520 at the time what a disaster. Her View appearance was 0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:54.680 and then it just blew up. Her phone blew up, 0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:58.080 all of her campaign aid's phones blew up. That's when 0:21:58.119 --> 0:21:59.960
