Speaker 1: All media.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to it could happen here a podcast recorded
Speaker 2: at the Republican National Convention, which I do not very
Speaker 2: much like. We're having a great time.
Speaker 3: Though, well not really. This is the worst day we've
Speaker 3: had so far.
Speaker 2: This is one of the worst days I've ever had. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we did get to talk with Rudy Giuliani, which was
Speaker 2: a highlight of the day. Hearing more about that later,
Speaker 2: But first let's go around. Let you know who's going
Speaker 2: to be talking on this episode. First off, we've got
Speaker 2: Garrison Davis hello, finally identified as she her by the
Speaker 2: Secret Service.
Speaker 3: There you go. Congrats, They're going woke.
Speaker 2: They're going woke.
Speaker 3: That's why it happened.
Speaker 2: That's what Rudy talked about, and I guess he was right.
Speaker 2: And then speaking of woke, de.
Speaker 3: Supervisor Sophie Lichterman, I've.
Speaker 1: Had a day.
Speaker 3: I'll bet make fun of me.
Speaker 2: We are in the like the chunk of the there's
Speaker 2: like the main stadium where all of the very red
Speaker 2: and botox people give their speeches, and then there's this
Speaker 2: part where all of the different media companies have booths
Speaker 2: set up. Iheart's got a booth.
Speaker 1: There a very large booth very.
Speaker 2: Large booth, and we are kind of above that right
Speaker 2: now because it's a relatively quiet place to record for
Speaker 2: some visuals.
Speaker 1: Here we are sitting in this part of a arena.
Speaker 3: The Panther Arena, the Panther Arena.
Speaker 1: There's red carpet everywhere, and there are cubicle style booths
Speaker 1: for various publications.
Speaker 3: Let's see, I see O A n.
Speaker 4: We are sitting right above the iHeart to end the
Speaker 4: Daily Wire booth. They have a whole wall of Matt Walsh,
Speaker 4: a wall of walls wallsh if you will.
Speaker 2: Bright Bart's got a tiny little cue, very small.
Speaker 4: Frank'speach has a little booth. You know, a lot of
Speaker 4: a lot of local radio, you know.
Speaker 2: For there was that when we met Rudy earlier today,
Speaker 2: he was that the wvo in booth, which is a
Speaker 2: local radio station. They did not let him speak this
Speaker 2: year at the r n C. Did not really seemed
Speaker 2: to want him to be here.
Speaker 3: That's too bad.
Speaker 2: He claimed to be happy that that was the case. Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: interesting guy.
Speaker 3: Took a little tumble today.
Speaker 2: Took a little tumble today, fell and then kept falling
Speaker 2: on the floor of the event. Classic Rudy. And when
Speaker 2: we went to lunch earlier and wound up in the
Speaker 2: same room as Ted Cruz briefly, who was also at
Speaker 2: that restaurant. A lady came up to us, a Republican
Speaker 2: alternate delegate, and said, are you a band?
Speaker 3: Are you musicians? You look like musicians?
Speaker 1: Solely based off of Robert having tattoos.
Speaker 2: I do think it was entirely based on the fact
Speaker 2: that I have to.
Speaker 3: Have We probably look cooler than anyone else here.
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, I said, we that's the first
Speaker 2: time you've said that to me, Garrison, and it really
Speaker 2: you know what, I I.
Speaker 3: Took a convention.
Speaker 4: I took a convention publish older than my grandparents.
Speaker 1: I will say that at this restaurant, the restaurant worker
Speaker 1: did give us all free shots of vodka because she
Speaker 1: said we had looked like we had had a week
Speaker 1: and boy, how do you Is she right?
Speaker 2: I'm sure she's been having one too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was very nice. So Garon, Robert, you want
Speaker 1: to take me we weren't together for most of today.
Speaker 1: Do you want to take me through your day? And
Speaker 1: then I can tell you about my really fun day?
Speaker 4: Good?
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we'll start by talking about our morning. So
Speaker 2: yesterday was a pro Palestine march that that was Monday
Speaker 2: from Monday ference kind of build us a march on
Speaker 2: the RNC. It was a sizable demonstration, at least five hundred.
Speaker 2: At least five hundred uncleared to me the exact numbers,
Speaker 2: but not tiny march is a little bit of a misnumber.
Speaker 2: It was located in the park that's kind of closest
Speaker 2: to the RNC security area today. It was a very
Speaker 2: different vibe. There were counter protesters, but there were also
Speaker 2: like there was like a church group who was there
Speaker 2: with signs.
Speaker 4: It's like a Westboro Baptist church styles street preacher group.
Speaker 2: They do not like Catholics.
Speaker 4: They don't like gay people or Catholics, or fornication or adultery,
Speaker 4: that sort of thing. You know, if you can picture
Speaker 4: the big signs that people carry around, it's.
Speaker 1: That sounds sounds fun. Guys.
Speaker 4: We saw an amazing T shirt today, Robert, do you
Speaker 4: do you have a do you have a recollection of
Speaker 4: the best T shirt that we saw today?
Speaker 2: Oh God, is that the prolapsed rectum tissue is atal
Speaker 2: sex equals prolapsed rectum? And then wow, god, it felt
Speaker 2: like a John quote. There was a book of the
Speaker 2: Bible that I know does not refer directly to prolapse.
Speaker 3: Reptive romans romans Paul, so you know.
Speaker 2: Paul was not talking about rectums.
Speaker 4: Well, but Paul is the most homophobic out of all
Speaker 4: the New Testament writers. But basically we talked to some
Speaker 4: of these types of people gathered at this little this
Speaker 4: little squares little park. There was maybe like one or
Speaker 4: two people protesting the RNC itself, just holding signs, you know,
Speaker 4: someone with a megaphone, But the rest of the people
Speaker 4: gathered where these were these street preacher types. And then
Speaker 4: we went over to this media section earlier this morning.
Speaker 4: That's where we talked to our good are now good friend,
Speaker 4: Rudy Giuliani.
Speaker 2: So again, if you're picturing this floor, it's like a
Speaker 2: bunch of large cubicles. So have you've ever been to
Speaker 2: a trade show. It looks like a trade show, right,
Speaker 2: But the cubicles is a different radio station or internet
Speaker 2: media company. And Rudy was just sort of chilling at
Speaker 2: a local radio station booth with Laura Lumer. When we
Speaker 2: first walked up, amazing vibes, she thanked God left and
Speaker 2: I will say Laura Lumer famous on the Internet for
Speaker 2: looking very peculiar, one of the more normal looking people
Speaker 2: at the RNC.
Speaker 4: Which I don't think is a testament to how normal
Speaker 4: Laura Lumer looks. It's a testament to the types of
Speaker 4: people that we are seeing every day at the RNC
Speaker 4: that everyone kind of looks a little lumor esque. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so she looks a little bit less bizarre in comparison
Speaker 4: to just everyone else we're seeing, who all has, you know,
Speaker 4: a curious amount of facial surgeries, Yeah going on that
Speaker 4: makes them just look just look a little different, just.
Speaker 2: A little different. We saw the Fox News had anchored
Speaker 2: today whose face was as smooth as a baby's ass.
Speaker 3: It looked like carved marble.
Speaker 2: It looked like carved marble, and was clearly bloated with
Speaker 2: Bachelin toxin.
Speaker 1: Incredible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a beautiful man, Sophie. He was a beauty.
Speaker 1: I think he uses retinal.
Speaker 2: He must use retinal. And he had a chin as
Speaker 2: wide as like Glory days Bruce Campbell.
Speaker 3: Very wide face.
Speaker 1: I bet he never forgot to wear sunscreen, unlike you two.
Speaker 2: So yeah, kind of the last thing we did at
Speaker 2: the convention before coming back was we had a little
Speaker 2: conversation with Rudy primarily about Ukraine. His basic stance is
Speaker 2: that Ukraine is stealing all of the money that the
Speaker 2: government gives it. When I pointed out that that money
Speaker 2: was primarily coming in military subsidies and like military weapons,
Speaker 2: he said they were stealing the weapons and selling them.
Speaker 2: And I asked who, and he said he didn't know,
Speaker 2: at which point his handler got him out of there,
Speaker 2: and we wound up walking over to the iHeart booth
Speaker 2: where one of our coworkers, Dan O'Donnell, who's a more
Speaker 2: conservative guy in the network, but who through a law
Speaker 2: enforcement contact, got the story that a man had just
Speaker 2: been shot outside of the RNC security zone, but by
Speaker 2: police who were in town for the RNC. It wound
Speaker 2: up that they are Columbus, Ohio police. So we rushed
Speaker 2: down there, split up with him pretty quickly because I
Speaker 2: think he was mostly interested and talking to the police
Speaker 2: on scene, and we wound up right in the middle
Speaker 2: of you know, what is the poorest neighborhood in Milwaukee,
Speaker 2: the poorest zip code in the state, one of the
Speaker 2: highest rates of incarceration in the country. It is a
Speaker 2: deeply deprived area. The first guy we talked to, he
Speaker 2: was with Lighthouse Ministries I think was the name of
Speaker 2: the organization, which is essentially he was running like a
Speaker 2: Christian halfway house, and we saw another larger halfway house
Speaker 2: even closer to the shooting, Like there were two half
Speaker 2: way houses effectively right next to each other. That's the
Speaker 2: kind of neighborhood this was. And when we got there,
Speaker 2: police had just started setting up cordons. They had started
Speaker 2: it with about a block or two fenced off with
Speaker 2: police tapes, but were widening at every few minutes. They
Speaker 2: were adding new blocks, quickly expanding, and a large number
Speaker 2: of cops were on scene. There were horse cops on scene.
Speaker 2: We could not get close to them, about a block
Speaker 2: from the site of the shooting itself, but we were
Speaker 2: able to get into a park where there were a
Speaker 2: lot of local people who were very angry at what
Speaker 2: had happened. And one of the first things I encountered
Speaker 2: was a couple of guys, you know, one of whom
Speaker 2: was filming on his phone yell and got the police,
Speaker 2: a couple of whom were sitting in lawn chairs, and
Speaker 2: one of whom was speaking about like you know, who
Speaker 2: had clearly witnessed the shooting, saying like you know, they
Speaker 2: were just having an argument. If you'd let us the
Speaker 2: neighborhood handle it, we would have handled it. The most
Speaker 2: there would have been was a black guy. What the
Speaker 2: fuck is wrong with you guys. We talked to him.
Speaker 2: His name is Emmanual, And I'm actually just gonna play
Speaker 2: a clip from that interview with the Manual right now.
Speaker 5: Here's the on the bikes. I want to let you see.
Speaker 6: So they parked in the King Center alley and they
Speaker 6: were just basically patrolling, watching us, right.
Speaker 5: So the two guys have a little about the ball.
Speaker 5: That's about the f So they didn't really fight. Toby's
Speaker 5: shopping Freeze shot him. They emptied the clip.
Speaker 6: Every twelve officers on the bike empty their clips because
Speaker 6: you speak Coby.
Speaker 5: Their clients.
Speaker 6: And then when they were done, they're turning guns on
Speaker 6: us and then now their person that's further further away
Speaker 6: issue because they don't want us to tell you guys
Speaker 6: what really happened when they could have Tasted and the
Speaker 6: rest of them city in the jail.
Speaker 5: They shot him, and they was going to shoot the
Speaker 5: other guy and he ran, so they turn the guns.
Speaker 6: Are about sixteen of us Robert, Yeah, yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 6: they were others.
Speaker 5: Why didn't shoot? Because I realized their guns were empty,
Speaker 5: so they caught the backups.
Speaker 6: And that's why they have more backups and more backups
Speaker 6: and more backups, and that's why we are backing up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and is that the that's the plan now, is
Speaker 2: my guest?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, I don't know if they're they were the
Speaker 5: r n C.
Speaker 2: The yep, tear gas and masks. Well, thank you, Emmanuel,
Speaker 2: nice to meet you. Yeah, yep, tear gas and masks.
Speaker 2: Starting to feel like Portland again. And yeah, I would
Speaker 2: say that what a manual said is can assistant. We
Speaker 2: talked to two other people who had witnessed the shooting,
Speaker 2: and then a couple other people who had been close by,
Speaker 2: and they all agreed with the gist of what Emmanuel
Speaker 2: had said.
Speaker 4: Well, and Manuel told you something before he started recording
Speaker 4: there about how like they felt this was like a
Speaker 4: very very solvable problem. Yeah, for like the community, like
Speaker 4: this is just like an average fight that they could
Speaker 4: they could have ended themselves. Yeah, and you know, in
Speaker 4: the next hour these people would have been friends again.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And instead police from out of state showed up and
Speaker 4: just started shooting.
Speaker 2: And that is what the initial thing we heard through
Speaker 2: our you know, coworker who was talking to law enforcement
Speaker 2: was a man had had a knife or knives, was
Speaker 2: brandishing them. Police told him to drop, he didn't and
Speaker 2: they had to shoot him. Locals on scenes said police
Speaker 2: did not tell him to drop anything, ran up and
Speaker 2: just started shooting. And as you heard from Manual, his
Speaker 2: experience at the event was that police then turned their
Speaker 2: guns on the crowd, and you know, he felt threatened
Speaker 2: deeply by this for reasons that are obvious. And I
Speaker 2: will say that everyone we talked to in the neighborhood
Speaker 2: had broadly consistent stories. This was not a serious fight,
Speaker 2: This was not a thing that would have escalated to
Speaker 2: lethal violence in the normal course of human events. But
Speaker 2: a huge number of out of state cops rolled up
Speaker 2: to the altercation unnecessarily and drew their guns and started shooting.
Speaker 4: So there was a fairly nice homeless encampment. They had
Speaker 4: a wonderful community garden, really nice garden, just like a
Speaker 4: block away, and we figured, oh, this, this guy might
Speaker 4: might have been houseless, And we started to talk to
Speaker 4: more people who knew him, and yes, we found out
Speaker 4: we actually walked right past his tent on the way
Speaker 4: to the shooting. He had a tent by himself in
Speaker 4: this little alleyway. I guess, Robert, you talked more to that,
Speaker 4: to that guy that knew him.
Speaker 2: I talked to a guy who knew him who he
Speaker 2: said his nickname was Jehovah because he was at Jehovah's witness.
Speaker 2: The guy who I was speaking to was a Muslim
Speaker 2: and specifically stated to me, like, you know, I'm a Muslim,
Speaker 2: he's a Jehovah's witness. But we always got along. He
Speaker 2: was a really nice guy. He didn't deserve this like.
Speaker 2: He wasn't a dude who generally caused problems. He was
Speaker 2: not a dangerous person. He was maybe a guy who
Speaker 2: was having a little bit of a heated moment with
Speaker 2: another dude. And again there happened to be a bunch
Speaker 2: of out of state cops who decided to make it
Speaker 2: everyone's problem. That was his attitude. And a couple of
Speaker 2: things were notewhere they I mean, we talked to a
Speaker 2: woman who was kind of dropping her daughter off at
Speaker 2: work who lived nearby. This is a lady who lived
Speaker 2: in a little bit nicer of a neighborhood. She wasn't
Speaker 2: quite there. An older black woman who was like, you know,
Speaker 2: the cops show up to do this, but there's no cops,
Speaker 2: Like if this had been any other time of the year,
Speaker 2: there would have been no cops in this neighborhood ever
Speaker 2: at all. Like they're never around when anybody wants them
Speaker 2: to be, but they show up to kill a guy
Speaker 2: because the RNC is in town. And that was very
Speaker 2: much the consistent response we got from everyone in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2: You know, we stayed there a while.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what happened.
Speaker 2: One of the things that I couldn't not notice is
Speaker 2: once we were down in the RNC, you know, earlier
Speaker 2: in the day, very cool, a lot of shame tall buildings.
Speaker 2: When we were in that neighborhood near a fourteenth and Boulette.
Speaker 4: Right outside the Martin Luther King Junior Community Center.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sun was beating down us. There was very little cover,
Speaker 2: it was very hot. The streets were notably poor repair,
Speaker 2: the buildings were in a lot poorer repair. But there
Speaker 2: was actually also evidence of like street life like here,
Speaker 2: the RNC is, all of downtown Milwaukee has been sanitized, right.
Speaker 4: They swept encampment's close to the R and Z perimeter
Speaker 4: and stuff people have had to move around.
Speaker 2: And no one you encounter lives here right not during
Speaker 2: the event, that's just the way that it goes. A
Speaker 2: lot of the local buildings are shut down. And one
Speaker 2: of the things that was interesting about this was the
Speaker 2: degree to which all of these people in the most
Speaker 2: deprived neighborhood Milwaukee had a really clear understanding of what
Speaker 2: had happened near and around them and knew each other.
Speaker 2: And we're talking. There were a couple of people we
Speaker 2: saw who were going around different chunks within a block
Speaker 2: or two of each other and clearly knew all of
Speaker 2: their neighbors, which was, you know, very different from kind
Speaker 2: of the vibes that we've gotten Downtown Milwaukee is as
Speaker 2: nice as it is, and I think we've all really
Speaker 2: enjoyed this city, one of the most segregated cities in
Speaker 2: the country. And that was very clear because I think
Speaker 2: there was one white person who was a resident of
Speaker 2: the neighborhood that we talked to, that woman who was
Speaker 2: next to the guy who knew Jehovah, And I guess
Speaker 2: that's most of what I have to say.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, more and more place kept showing up.
Speaker 4: There was this basically like a riot squad with mace
Speaker 4: and yah, gas masks showed up. You know, there was
Speaker 4: biite cops, mounted patrol cops. They just they started to
Speaker 4: flood this area. Eventually they slowly kind of you know,
Speaker 4: dispersed out as this scene got more under control and
Speaker 4: they realized there probably wasn't going to be a huge
Speaker 4: protest at this location. I believe there's gonna be a
Speaker 4: vigil tonight, Yeah, at eight pm near the side of
Speaker 4: the shooting. So yeah, I mean it's just tough to
Speaker 4: go from the RNC with you know, massive police presence
Speaker 4: all of these extremely wealthy, rich white Republicans and then
Speaker 4: be reminded the real people exist and yeah, put events
Speaker 4: like this on people get killed by police to make
Speaker 4: sure that that that people feel comfortable going to these
Speaker 4: sorts of events and just completely unnecessarily.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's.
Speaker 4: That's just a good a good uh, A good reminder
Speaker 4: every time I walk through one of these police checkpoints.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Donald Donald Trump, you know, survived his brush with
Speaker 2: the shooting. This young man didn't, and he died because
Speaker 2: this event was set up in his town. We know
Speaker 2: that the Secret Service and the you know, the other agencies,
Speaker 2: because it wasn't just the Secret Service that was responsible
Speaker 2: for Trump getting shot. There were a lot of other
Speaker 2: law enforcement agencies there failed at their job, you know,
Speaker 2: last Saturday to stop the former president from getting shot.
Speaker 2: Failed very badly at that. But still at the RNC,
Speaker 2: the only thing that the security State knows how to
Speaker 2: do is flood the zone with cops. And the only
Speaker 2: thing those cops know how to do is when they
Speaker 2: encounter anything a little bit hostile, draw their guns and
Speaker 2: empty them. You know, that was my impression, And uh yeah,
Speaker 2: I think that's probably all we need to say about
Speaker 2: that right now.
Speaker 4: Now Sophie will tell us about her experience. As me
Speaker 4: and Robert were walking around this side of this police
Speaker 4: murder after this short break.
Speaker 1: And we're back. Well, my colleagues were out on the ground.
Speaker 1: I went to a super super fun event called Giving
Speaker 1: Americans a Voice town hall hosted by the Moms for Liberty.
Speaker 1: It was interesting, to say the least. It was a
Speaker 1: three hour event with various long event very long, and
Speaker 1: I recorded all of it so we can put that
Speaker 1: out at a later date. Let me just give you
Speaker 1: a quick rundown of what the event was.
Speaker 4: And Moms for Liberty is as like a lobbying group
Speaker 4: for parental Rights.
Speaker 2: Very supportive of banning books.
Speaker 4: Banning books, parental rights, a lot of stuff around education
Speaker 4: in school. They they're very active in Washington. They're the
Speaker 4: sponsor of a lot of these really really like horrible
Speaker 4: bills about limiting information to children, limiting the rights of children,
Speaker 4: that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And additional sponsors for this event where Conservative Partnership Institute, Heritage.
Speaker 3: Character Foundation, authors of Project twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Five, Young America's. I can't even read this logo.
Speaker 3: It's like the Young Republicans Voting Association.
Speaker 1: Young Americans Foundation.
Speaker 3: We did it, great job.
Speaker 1: And Public Square, which is a very strange app and
Speaker 1: there were three panels and some of the people that
Speaker 1: were featured on the panel were Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida.
Speaker 3: Sara Huckabe Sanders made an appearance, Governor.
Speaker 1: Sarah Huckabye Sanders, Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin.
Speaker 3: The governor of Wisconsin was there.
Speaker 1: He opened The governor, the governor of Wisconsin was there.
Speaker 4: That's upsetting. He was like one of the first people
Speaker 4: who spoke, not a senator, not the actual governor.
Speaker 1: The forty fifth Governor, Jesus Wisconsin, Scott Walker, yes, correct,
Speaker 1: various groups of attorneys general and get the Senator Oswell
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, and it was it was it
Speaker 1: was a strange event.
Speaker 3: What sort of things do they talk about?
Speaker 1: Well, they started off with them giving an excuse that
Speaker 1: the reason why that there was an attempted assassination on
Speaker 1: former President Trump was because of the media falseley compare
Speaker 1: hip to Hitler, to which they said, there is only
Speaker 1: one Hitler.
Speaker 2: There's actually been quite a few Hitlers, although there's less.
Speaker 4: Now also I would I would like for them to
Speaker 4: feel that question to jd Vance But anyway.
Speaker 1: Fair enough. And then there was, you know, as there
Speaker 1: are at most of these events, there was a prayer
Speaker 1: and I just thought it was super interesting that the
Speaker 1: person giving the prayer referred to the panelists and various
Speaker 1: speakers as great actors, which was just like an interesting
Speaker 1: word choice to me.
Speaker 4: This extensively like political actors, I would assume, but interesting associations.
Speaker 1: And like one of the one of the main things
Speaker 1: that they talked about this was education, and they said
Speaker 1: their biggest issue that they have in the United States
Speaker 1: is the creation of the federal Department of Education, and
Speaker 1: that they were going to change that, which got huge,
Speaker 1: huge cheers from the crowd. They claim that one of
Speaker 1: the reasons why the young man had attempted to assassinate
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was because he had gone to a large school.
Speaker 3: They are very anti large school why.
Speaker 1: Not, and that was one of the main reasons, as
Speaker 1: well as the media referring to foreign President Trump as hitler.
Speaker 1: They were adamant that teachers unions do not protect kids
Speaker 1: and that they are only out for themselves, and that
Speaker 1: all teachers' unions have been infiltrated by the left.
Speaker 4: Well, that part is kind of drown yeah, but no,
Speaker 4: I mean attacks on teachers unions are I've seen those
Speaker 4: more in the past four years among a lot of
Speaker 4: either like right wing influencers or actual politicians. The teachers'
Speaker 4: unions is a very good boogeyman. Yeah, because some people,
Speaker 4: you know, like their individual teachers. But no, no, no, the
Speaker 4: real problem is the teachers union.
Speaker 1: Yes, that actual distinction was brought up multiple times. There
Speaker 1: you go, there you go, And at one point somebody
Speaker 1: in the back of the room dropped their phone, but
Speaker 1: it was very loud and unsettling noise to the point
Speaker 1: where everybody thought that it might have been a gun,
Speaker 1: and everyone kind of understandably so jumped up and around.
Speaker 2: Oh they're scared of guns.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 3: The Republicans really fucking babies.
Speaker 1: And the overall energy is that they ate the federal government.
Speaker 1: They want things to go back to a local level,
Speaker 1: and that the Left is ruining and grooming children. Lots
Speaker 1: of weird as you can imagine, stuff about gender, lots of.
Speaker 2: Stuff about consistently got some of the biggest, biggest applause.
Speaker 1: Oh something to note here. Anytime Elon Musk was brought up,
Speaker 1: which was quite a bit, the crowd went bat shit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: huge wild cheers for anything to do with Elon, which
Speaker 1: I thought was, you know, not unexpected, but just that, like,
Speaker 1: he got louder cheers than I think he got a
Speaker 1: louder cheer than when they brought up Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: He's really one of their new great heroes. What did
Speaker 4: the Attorney's General talk about?
Speaker 1: They were mostly talking about different winds they had had
Speaker 1: in terms of like their states and things they were
Speaker 1: bringing the table, and mostly like personal stories of like
Speaker 1: things that they look for in their family. The Missouri
Speaker 1: Attorney General Andrew Bailey, his biggest reaction from the crowd
Speaker 1: was when he said in Missouri, we don't co parent
Speaker 1: with the government, and sure the crowd loved that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is a big, big, big parental
Speaker 3: rights group.
Speaker 4: And yeah, I'm intered in the attorney general because back
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three, the attorney's generals from a lot
Speaker 4: of these red states drafted this this very angry, kind
Speaker 4: of threatening letter to Target, kind of demanding that because
Speaker 4: some of their states own like interest in Target, they
Speaker 4: have to remove any kind of any products that cater
Speaker 4: to trans people because this is betraying the investors by
Speaker 4: making this poor economic decision. And really, the attorneys general
Speaker 4: have been one of the strongest forces against trans rights
Speaker 4: in a lot of these states. And I believe because
Speaker 4: I showed up near the end of the attorney general's segment,
Speaker 4: I believe they refer to themselves as like the last
Speaker 4: line of defense. Even if you have like a democrat,
Speaker 4: you know, like mayor, or you know you have more
Speaker 4: democratic officials in like your city or state, the attorney's
Speaker 4: generals are are like the ones that are going to
Speaker 4: hold it down, even if the rest have kind.
Speaker 3: Of sold out or are liberals Democrats.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say the ags were the most transphobic
Speaker 1: of the bunch. If I was doing ranking, which santas, Yeah,
Speaker 1: one of them said, you know, in a laughing way,
Speaker 1: which again got a great reaction from the crowd. Think
Speaker 1: about a kindergartener saying what's your pronoun?
Speaker 3: Very very funny ha ha ha ha.
Speaker 1: They were laughing and hahaha about that. And just the
Speaker 1: last thing I'll say about the ags was that that
Speaker 1: same ag from Missouri said our rights come from God,
Speaker 1: not man.
Speaker 3: And famously in the Constitution.
Speaker 1: Yes, anyways, and then DeSantis and Sarah Huckeby Sanders closed
Speaker 1: it out.
Speaker 3: Which we arrived for.
Speaker 4: We arrived just in time to see DeSantis, Thank god,
Speaker 4: Oh meatball Ron Dissentis and Huckeby Sanders got to be
Speaker 4: the two most uncharismatic speakers I've seen at the convention
Speaker 4: so far.
Speaker 2: I'm not surprised they were both shunted off to the
Speaker 2: I would call it the shame callus. So.
Speaker 4: DeSantis was wearing jeans, which is just a fascinating move,
Speaker 4: but these were very warm, very.
Speaker 1: Warm, and essentially when he got up he basically did
Speaker 1: like a brag list of all the things that he
Speaker 1: has gotten done in.
Speaker 4: Florida, talking about, you know, taking the fight to Disney,
Speaker 4: enacting universal school choice, making sure that there's no sex
Speaker 4: at in his schools. Very cool, and then, uh, you
Speaker 4: talked oddly enough a lot about college.
Speaker 1: University is correct.
Speaker 4: Yes, he was talking about how like, even if you
Speaker 4: raise your kid, right, even if we fix you know, public.
Speaker 2: Schools, you put in eighteen hard years.
Speaker 4: He spent eighteen years raising your kid, You do it right,
Speaker 4: we fix all of the public schools, everything's good. As
Speaker 4: soon as they turn eighteen, they're gonna go after one
Speaker 4: of these liberal colleges and they're gonna undo all of
Speaker 4: the good work that you've put in, and that needs
Speaker 4: to be the next thing to stop. And he said
Speaker 4: that Florida is the first state to take on higher education.
Speaker 4: We've had a lot of focus on lower education. We
Speaker 4: now we have to take on higher education, including doing
Speaker 4: like performance reviews for ten good professors every five years,
Speaker 4: in which case they can be fired for poor performance,
Speaker 4: which is kind of a wild concept for a Tenian professor.
Speaker 1: He also had a one off wild line where he
Speaker 1: was like, you did see Hamas over on our universities.
Speaker 4: Yes, he referred to palestinating human rights campus protesters as Hamas,
Speaker 4: just saying that they are Hamas, Like he didn't like say,
Speaker 4: these people are like Hamas. You just said when Hamas
Speaker 4: was coming to the universities, they didn't show up in Florida.
Speaker 2: Which is a very standard Republican line.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's just no difference between someone showing up to
Speaker 4: a protest in the United States because they don't like
Speaker 4: that thousands and thousands of Palestinians are being murdered, and
Speaker 4: that person is now indistinguishable from Hamas according to the
Speaker 4: Republican Party, according to all of these speakers. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: so Sarah Sanders just tried to kind of write on
Speaker 4: the coattails of disantist being like, hey, we're also plighting
Speaker 4: the transgenders.
Speaker 1: She did the same. She listed, you know, some of
Speaker 1: her brags mentioned it always has to do she talks
Speaker 1: about her dad. I wrote down something she said because
Speaker 1: I was like, she said, the only war on women
Speaker 1: is on conservative women from the far left. Where are
Speaker 1: the feminists? They can't even tell you what a woman is.
Speaker 4: Well, someone who's famously taken a woman's studies course where
Speaker 4: they never define what a woman is totally because the
Speaker 4: main upsetting thing for me because the police just killed
Speaker 4: a black man a few hours ago. I was just reminded,
Speaker 4: you know, there's so many real people in Milwaukee, right.
Speaker 4: All the food service workers have been very nice. So
Speaker 4: there's all these real people facing real issues in the
Speaker 4: poorest part of Milwaukee. And we just saw someone whose
Speaker 4: life was ended because police were here for the RNC
Speaker 4: from a totally different state, and people with real economic concerns,
Speaker 4: real concerns about, you know, their life from police brutality,
Speaker 4: all this type of stuff. And as soon as you
Speaker 4: walked into this Mom's for Liberty panel, the first thing
Speaker 4: we heard them complaining about was that they were being
Speaker 4: censored on Twitter, yep, and that that was their concern.
Speaker 2: Joe Biden censored us.
Speaker 4: Their hardest thing to them was that they find all
Speaker 4: this gender stuff a little bit icky and that we're
Speaker 4: being censored on Twitter. And that is the level of
Speaker 4: problems that these people are dealing well.
Speaker 2: And our kids didn't turn into the people we wanted
Speaker 2: them to. Yeah, and that should be the entire country's problem.
Speaker 2: They are not fundamentally, they don't have real problems. These people,
Speaker 2: they don't have real problems, but they are unhappy that
Speaker 2: everyone in the world does not inherently act to serve
Speaker 2: and validate them, and they are going to make that
Speaker 2: everyone's promise. You know. That is what the RNC is.
Speaker 2: The people on the floor are what you would call
Speaker 2: like successful used car dealers, like level of capitalist, right,
Speaker 2: and they are worshiping an alliance of venture capitalists, guys
Speaker 2: like the VEC, guys like JD. Vance, and of course
Speaker 2: people who inherited a shitload of wealth and then eventually
Speaker 2: succeeded in making money through a combination of vice casinos
Speaker 2: and the entertainment industry. Trump, you know, like that's that's
Speaker 2: who this is.
Speaker 1: And uh, speaking of a VIC. As we were getting
Speaker 1: up to leave, they quickly announced that there was one
Speaker 1: more person who was going to speak, and it was him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he sure did speak. He gave a speech that
Speaker 4: I would say was indistinguishable from AI. Yes, just about
Speaker 4: how how good America can be and even though we're
Speaker 4: a to GPT could, even though we're in a tough spot
Speaker 4: right now, I feel like America can do better. And
Speaker 4: it was just it was like I could predict every
Speaker 4: other word. Yeah, hey, this is gear recording. Just outside
Speaker 4: of the main arena at the rn c where Governor
Speaker 4: Greg Aba just gave a speed and now I'm giving
Speaker 4: you a short speech to tell you to enjoy these
Speaker 4: messages from our sponsors.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back. This is Robert M.
Speaker 4: Garrison recording from our hotel room later in the night,
Speaker 4: because we have learned some new information about the police
Speaker 4: killing that happened earlier today, and also we listened to
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of the RNC closing speeches tonight which
Speaker 4: kind of relate to this question of police violence.
Speaker 3: I'll hand this off to Robert.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, so since we were down there, the
Speaker 2: police have released both their security camera footage body camera footage,
Speaker 2: and we have the name of the decedent, who was
Speaker 2: Samuel Sharp Junior. This is the guy everyone in the
Speaker 2: neighborhood identified as Jehovah, and that was the nickname that
Speaker 2: he went by. He looked younger. I've seen some reports
Speaker 2: that he was like forty three, but he doesn't look
Speaker 2: forty three from the footage, you know, and he had
Speaker 2: just he had used a community shower earlier that day
Speaker 2: that comes by the neighborhood for some of the homeless folks,
Speaker 2: and you know everyone he loved them. Footage is I
Speaker 2: understand like exactly how it's going to be used and
Speaker 2: already as being used by the police, And I understand
Speaker 2: what they're saying, which is that if you look at
Speaker 2: the footage, is they rush on scene, I think about
Speaker 2: fifteen of them. Five of them fired at once and
Speaker 2: immediately open fire. You can see from a distance the
Speaker 2: two guys are five to seven feet apart and are
Speaker 2: kind of crossing the street together while it looks like
Speaker 2: they are yelling as the police rush in, Samuel runs forward,
Speaker 2: and if you clip frames out of the video, you
Speaker 2: can make a case that he was charging the guy
Speaker 2: with his knife or knives. Police are saying multiple It's
Speaker 2: a little unclear to me in the footage if he
Speaker 2: had two or just one. But I can see how
Speaker 2: the police showing up un scene, being trained the way
Speaker 2: that they are, why they opened fire. The problem is
Speaker 2: that he ran forward in the first place, because they
Speaker 2: rushed in, like these two guys were squared up on
Speaker 2: the street and not in an encounter that any of
Speaker 2: the locals considered to be particularly threatening. If you have
Speaker 2: spent a lot of time around homeless encampments, if you
Speaker 2: have spent a lot of time in neighborhoods that have
Speaker 2: a lot of homeless residence, it is not wild or
Speaker 2: uncommon to see people yelling and to see people with
Speaker 2: knives on their person, you know, even in their hands. Obviously,
Speaker 2: that can be upsetting to some people. But like the
Speaker 2: folks who lived in the neighborhood did not consider this
Speaker 2: an odd circumstance and with something that, in the normal
Speaker 2: circumstance of events and the normal following of events, would
Speaker 2: have been de escalated. And in this case it wasn't
Speaker 2: the police open fire before there was any attempt at
Speaker 2: de escalation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And like conservatives will always point out, you know,
Speaker 4: why is he just following orders? Why isn't he just
Speaker 4: just doing blah blah blah blah blah. They will they
Speaker 4: will take they'll take low screenshots that make something look
Speaker 4: a certain way. And the simple fact is that these
Speaker 4: two men were not in any physical altercation before police arrived.
Speaker 4: He started running away as police started charging towards him.
Speaker 4: I think it would be very odd that he would
Speaker 4: choose that moment to suddenly lunge forward and stab this
Speaker 4: person he knew. And I think it's very clear that
Speaker 4: he's actually just running away from police. As people often do,
Speaker 4: and police have a long history of just shooting at
Speaker 4: people and killing people who are running away. You can
Speaker 4: look at what happened at the Wendy's in Atlanta in
Speaker 4: twenty twenty. They shoot people when they don't follow what
Speaker 4: they're saying. They shoot people when people try to run
Speaker 4: away from them, and that's just how cops work. So
Speaker 4: this video came out later in the evening, right as
Speaker 4: me and Robert arrived at the RNC second session. And
Speaker 4: the theme today for the RNC is make America Safe Again.
Speaker 4: And some of the first few speeches I heard, one
Speaker 4: was from the mayor of Dallas, Eric Johnson.
Speaker 7: Democrats in power demonstrate they don't care about stopping the killers.
Speaker 5: Or the thieves who.
Speaker 7: Terrorize black and brown communities. They don't care about securing
Speaker 7: our border, and they don't care about dangerous homeless encampments.
Speaker 2: And then there was also like a police chief who
Speaker 2: spoke a former police chief who now runs a charity
Speaker 2: I think for like wounded police officers. Yeah, but he's
Speaker 2: like a cop who is also an activist.
Speaker 4: And so all this framing is around talking about how
Speaker 4: the Democrats are the defund the police party, how Joe
Speaker 4: Biden and Kamala Harris themselves advocate for defunding the police,
Speaker 4: which is simply not true if you look at what
Speaker 4: they say. Joe Biden will always reiterate that he always
Speaker 4: has argued for more police funding, for more police training.
Speaker 4: But they have framdous issue as there are not enough
Speaker 4: police around. That's what is making cities dangerous. Talking about
Speaker 4: you know, all the people dying of violent crime. Not
Speaker 4: a single mention, of course, that the out of state
Speaker 4: police just killed someone a mile away from the Republican
Speaker 4: National Convention. The make America Safe Again rhetoric shifted towards
Speaker 4: you know, border rhetoric. You know, people believing genuinely the
Speaker 4: people that are speaking in the audience that we currently
Speaker 4: live under an open border policy that people can just
Speaker 4: walk in totally fine. Just a complete alterned reality view
Speaker 4: about what's going on in America, about what Joe Biden
Speaker 4: and Kamala Harris's border policies are. And there was a
Speaker 4: number of speachurees that that tried to capitalize on this
Speaker 4: on this almost like border framing up, like there's isis
Speaker 4: terrorists pouring into the border only under Joe Biden, right,
Speaker 4: as if no one ever crossed the border illegally under
Speaker 4: Donald Trump. I know what, Robert you, You were talking
Speaker 4: about some of the Ted Cruz speech tonight on his
Speaker 4: comments around the border.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Cruz was interesting. I've never considered him a
Speaker 2: particularly strong speaker, and coming out, he initially went into
Speaker 2: kind of a conspiracy theory that you'll hear on the
Speaker 2: right about people being trafficked, sex trafficked, kids being sex
Speaker 2: traffic across the border. He made a comment about them
Speaker 2: having colored wristbands, which is again not a thing that happens,
Speaker 2: but a reference to a widely believed right wing conspiracy,
Speaker 2: and that got kind of a scattered amount of applause.
Speaker 2: Not not what I would call a reaction, given how
Speaker 2: he saw the crowd react, Marjorie Taylor Green and how
Speaker 2: we saw them react, you know, whenever Trump comes out
Speaker 2: very muted. But as it went on, he started going
Speaker 2: into this kind of fear mongering spiel about migrants. He
Speaker 2: talked about the woman in San Francisco who was killed
Speaker 2: by that guy who found a gun in a bag
Speaker 2: and accidentally fired it. He talked about a number of
Speaker 2: different other cases that were people not from the country,
Speaker 2: undocumented immigrants, who killed generally white Americans. And every time
Speaker 2: he would tell a story, he had like a refrain
Speaker 2: line that was something and that's what happens every damn
Speaker 2: time or something. And every time he gave the refrain,
Speaker 2: more and more people started to cheer in the audience.
Speaker 2: And by the end of it, with the last kind
Speaker 2: of couple of cases of migrant on white people crime
Speaker 2: he brought up, the crowd was like legitimately roaring like
Speaker 2: as much as they did for Marjorie Taylor Green. Now
Speaker 2: the cop that came up next got a much louder response,
Speaker 2: and by far the biggest response of the night, even
Speaker 2: maybe including Trump, was when the delegates on the floor
Speaker 2: launched into a series of back the Blue chants. They
Speaker 2: actually interrupted the cop with back the Blue chants. Were
Speaker 2: roaring for that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a lot of a lot of these chants.
Speaker 4: And the Dallas mayor told a really funny story how
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty, some like anti police or defund the
Speaker 4: police activists to shut up around his neighborhood to try to,
Speaker 4: you know, get him to defund the police, and he
Speaker 4: got so scared by this that he changed from being
Speaker 4: a Democrat mayor to a Republican mayor and now he
Speaker 4: runs the biggest Republican led city in the country. And
Speaker 4: he had this comment talking about how he grew up
Speaker 4: in you know, poor black neighborhoods and the thing that
Speaker 4: they've always wanted, the thing that makes them safer, is
Speaker 4: more cops, not less cops. Both.
Speaker 7: I grew up in high prime neighborhoods. What we wanted
Speaker 7: was more.
Speaker 5: And better, not less.
Speaker 4: And just contrasting that with our experiences today in a
Speaker 4: very poor black community that just suffered an incident of
Speaker 4: police killing. That is that is just a lie, right, like,
Speaker 4: and like everyone knows this. This is theater for the convention.
Speaker 4: Everyone at the convention is really into this sort of thing.
Speaker 4: They genuinely believe this sort of stuff, but it's just
Speaker 4: an alternate reality. We spend time one of the poorest
Speaker 4: zip codes in the country and the state today and no,
Speaker 4: it's that's simply not true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, these these people are angry about primarily theoretical problems.
Speaker 2: You know, this kind of specter of migrant crime, which
Speaker 2: is not really real in a demographic you can pick
Speaker 2: out individual cases of that, but you can pick out
Speaker 2: individual cases of doctors stabbing people to death, and that
Speaker 2: doesn't mean we have a wave of doctor related crime, right.
Speaker 2: The reality of the situation is that, like, these are
Speaker 2: super fans of the Republican Party, and they are super
Speaker 2: fans of the narrative, and they are cheering for some
Speaker 2: of the moments, you know, they're not There's some stuff
Speaker 2: that's gotten boring to them. I kind of think the
Speaker 2: child traffick at conspiracy theories might be boring to them,
Speaker 2: maybe because that guy from the child trafficking movie got
Speaker 2: disgraced or whatever. There's not as interested. So you can
Speaker 2: see every now and then as like their interest in
Speaker 2: certain things fades. But they're reacting like an audience that
Speaker 2: like a comic con would to see in like a
Speaker 2: Star Wars trailer where some guy does a thing that's
Speaker 2: evidence of having the comics or whatever. The people I'm
Speaker 2: waiting to see, like when fucking DeSantis comes on and
Speaker 2: starts talking about banning children from receiving gender affirming care,
Speaker 2: that's like fucking Spider Man showing up, right, and they
Speaker 2: react like the guy next to us when DeSantis started
Speaker 2: doing this, started screaming and like sticking his fist out
Speaker 2: towards DeSantis and like yelling at it a volume that
Speaker 2: was honestly kind of surprising the man could project. I'll
Speaker 2: give him that. So I think ultimately the way I
Speaker 2: would sum this up is that these are not normal people.
Speaker 2: These are people who love politics. And again, to be clear,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying these are not normal people. Can They're conservative.
Speaker 2: My entire family are conservative, a lot of them are
Speaker 2: Trump voters, but they would find this audience deeply weird
Speaker 2: because these people are politics fans, and even most of
Speaker 2: the conservatives I know really dislike politics. Most normal people do.
Speaker 2: And I guess that's kind of where I've concluded, is
Speaker 2: the difference between like the crazies and the normies. Normal
Speaker 2: people don't enjoy this stuff.
Speaker 4: The term I've used the past few years is politics
Speaker 4: as fandom, and that's all this fucking is. This is
Speaker 4: this is a convention, just like comic con, just like
Speaker 4: an anime con. This is a convention, and that is
Speaker 4: how they view politics. Anyway, back to the past versions
Speaker 4: of us to discuss a funny closing story regarding presidential footwear.
Speaker 4: So that has been our day so far. The last
Speaker 4: thing I say we'll leave you with is on our
Speaker 4: way to the convention site, this morning, we were walking
Speaker 4: through this hotel to get through security and we found
Speaker 4: this wonderful section. It was it it was called the
Speaker 4: Sidential Experience. We walked in. There was a there was
Speaker 4: a replica of the Oval Office. I was told Reagan
Speaker 4: era Oval Office.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 3: It was pretty good, and it was pretty good.
Speaker 2: It was not good Netflix production, but like Netflix production
Speaker 2: level quality.
Speaker 4: Bad Netflix production quality. So we walked through and then
Speaker 4: we found just a glorious site. And I will let
Speaker 4: Past Robert and myself tell you what we found at
Speaker 4: the Presidential Experience. We are hearing the Presidential shoe section.
Speaker 4: We got Harry Truman, Nixon, Gerald Ford, Reagan, Warren G. Harding,
Speaker 4: who has a quote charming spat requested by President Harding
Speaker 4: and sympathized the elegance of the Victorian era. Dwight Eisenhower's
Speaker 4: shoes are pretty good. JFKs are a little bit more
Speaker 4: fancy but less polished.
Speaker 3: Lyndon B.
Speaker 4: Johnson's completely unsurprising, very very versatile, very efficient, can get
Speaker 4: off easy, slip on and off, get those dogs out
Speaker 4: when you need to. Abe Lincoln has some honestly very
Speaker 4: stylish boots. Theodore Roosevelt's as well large foot on Theodore
Speaker 4: and Woodrow Wilson's shoes, the only white shoe in the bunch.
Speaker 4: Very small, tiny feet, very small feet. Kind of surprisingly
Speaker 4: he's it says he chose fashion over tradition with these
Speaker 4: white buckskins. Also, they have Ulysses s. Grant's little little
Speaker 4: riding boots. The Victorian boots are are very very stylish.
Speaker 4: But honestly, I think I would go with Dwight D. Eisenhower's.
Speaker 4: They're just a beautiful, a beautiful shoe. Reagan's aren't bad,
Speaker 4: but I don't know. The Eisenhower shoes just a little
Speaker 4: bit more elegant.
Speaker 8: I'm going for LBJ slip on life.
Speaker 3: That makes sense for you.
Speaker 8: That shows you're a man who's got things to do.
Speaker 8: You know, you don't have time to be tie in
Speaker 8: your shoes.
Speaker 4: No, that that that makes sense, That makes sense. Nick
Speaker 4: Nixons and Kennedy's are very similar.
Speaker 3: Process or, I will tell.
Speaker 4: You the truth. Pretty good. It looks like this was
Speaker 4: presented by c Span this presidential experience. We have a
Speaker 4: Reagan era replica of the Oval Office, not a big room,
Speaker 4: not a big room, but overall of decent, decent replica.
Speaker 3: Nice JFK portrait Up there.
Speaker 2: There's a women's suffrage article, Wally.
Speaker 4: Interesting women's suffrage little table. Very controversial topic among Republicans
Speaker 4: these days.
Speaker 8: It has gotten to be increasingly so.
Speaker 3: Some old Pennsylvania Packet and Daily.
Speaker 8: Advertiser newspapers from seventeen eighty seven. Oh yeah, so this
Speaker 8: is I guess the original Pennsylvania newspaper coverage and printing
Speaker 8: of the.
Speaker 3: Seventeen eighty seven.
Speaker 8: Yeah, of the Constitution. Yeah, there's the preamble right there. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and they spell established Justice as.
Speaker 2: A thab lith just fifth, because that's a yieldie days,
Speaker 2: a lot a lot more f's back in the day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But they have these little information placards about all
Speaker 4: the presidents, the first ladies, that kind of stuff. We'll
Speaker 4: try to talk to the to the organizer of this
Speaker 4: little shindig in a sect. But honestly, the shoe, the
Speaker 4: shoe section, it's the most interesting thing to me just
Speaker 4: because of how tiny, just just how tiny those Woodrow
Speaker 4: Wilson choos are.
Speaker 8: Hey, Jay, that's that's a that's a that's a long foot.
Speaker 2: It's not a wide foot.
Speaker 4: Roosevelt's feet are pretty wide. U. S. Grant also very
Speaker 4: small also very small feet. Hmmm, yeah, you know what
Speaker 4: they say about him?
Speaker 3: Anyway, who's your favorite president?
Speaker 2: Favorite?
Speaker 8: Honestly? You know, I I I think I gotta go
Speaker 8: with US Grant. He's He's not my favorite president in
Speaker 8: terms of what he did in office, but in terms
Speaker 8: of like as a person, sure, he's the US president
Speaker 8: that I think was probably the the best person like
Speaker 8: he really did try.
Speaker 3: Always been a Harrison fan myself.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, William Henry. He was my favorite ass president.
Speaker 4: Right, also rhymes with my first name, So a little
Speaker 4: bit of a bias there.
Speaker 2: He really I like a man who there. There's not
Speaker 2: much like fat on that presidency.
Speaker 3: He really efficient, efficient, efficient time in office.
Speaker 2: You got in and out.
Speaker 3: Wow, very exciting. All those little feet.
Speaker 2: I can't stop thinking about. You know what I think
Speaker 2: about that's the weirdest is that they did not have
Speaker 2: they didn't have any bush feet. Sadly, well, they didn't
Speaker 2: have bush feet. And there was one guy who they
Speaker 2: didn't have his shoes. They just had the US Grant.
Speaker 2: They just had they had like the model that they
Speaker 2: built the shoe around for him, Yes, which was weird.
Speaker 2: I was like, where's your where's your US grant shoe.
Speaker 2: You don't want to show us the hardest working man
Speaker 2: whoever lived to be president.
Speaker 4: But yeah, no, I thought that was some important breaking
Speaker 4: news for our listeners to hear who had the smallest foot. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but as of right now, that is day two of
Speaker 4: the Republican National Convention.
Speaker 2: Until our next update, don't come here, it's unpleasant.
