Hi, everybody, welcome back to another episode of Just Listen to Yourself with Kia Davis. I'm your host, Kia Davis, and this is a podcast where we take hot topics, hop button issues, and we discuss the talking points on those issues, and we draw those talking points all the way out to their logical conclusion. I decided today would be a great day to talk about Trump's interview with the National Association of Black Journalists to cause some controversy beforehand, I think unnecessarily. If you've listened to this show, you already know my arguments. I've never understood this. People did this. When Tucker interviewed Putin, people even conservatives were calling him some kind of sellout or saying that he had done the wrong thing by interviewing this evil man. But it's like, if you're in journalism. You should be wanting to interview everybody on the world stage. If somebody has some position of influence, that's a person worth interviewing. I think it's very childish but also shortsighted idea that there are some people that journalists just can't talk to. We need to know all of these ideas and black people. I'll say this, and I don't know how many of you I'm actually talking to, because I think a lot of you out there think like I do on this issue. But for those of you who are feeling anxious or angsty about Trump's appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists, if you believe that Trump is a white supremacist and a racist and then he's going to put us all back in chains, then you should definitely want to hear from this guy. You should definitely know what his plans are. You should definitely hear that firsthand because that's going to be important information for you to know. And if he does pop off and say something crazy, then here is your opportunity. You can say, hey, look, I saw it with my own eyes. It's right here. So I just can't think of any any angle or any explanation for why this would be a bad thing. I think this is just the sensitive snowflake cancel culture at work. Just people who are we're not going to normalize these people, Well they are normalized. They are in American society. You should want to hear from a candidate for president who has at least a fifty percent chance of winning, maybe more depending on which pulls you believe. But this guy, this isn't just some extremists that running. Like here in California, we have and we might have twenty thirty people running for governor on any given day. We have porn stars that run for governor, Gary Coleman from different strokes. He ran a Rest in Peace, Gary Coleman. We get the craziest people running here. I can understand if you're like, I'm not really interested in hearing from the people who are going to get two hundred votes or whatever. But this isn't that right. This guy is going to get millions of votes. This guy has captured the hearts and minds of half the country at least, and he's been a president before, so all of these are qualities of a candidate you should want to hear from. This is your presidential candidate. Black folks don't let people tell us it's okay for us to be ignorant. I don't know why we're okay with doing this. We're okay with just sort of opening TikTok, opening the headlines, and saying, oh, well, you know this, one person told me that this is a white supremacist, or that Donald Trump said this. Indeed, that person may very well be right, But I do think it's kind of odd that you're depending on other people to tell you what's right and what's true and to inform all of your most important opinions. Just go look for yourself. You should want to know what if this guy wins. Again, I'm talking to the black people it might not like him and thought, maybe he shouldn't have been there in Chicago. What if this guy wins? Don't you want to be informed? Don't you want to know how to fight him? Don't you want to know how to campaign, maybe for the other side, if you want to go out there and campaign for the Democrat. Information is power. So even if you do think that all of these things are true about him, you should want to know. The more information you have, the better. So this idea of we don't want to normalize him. We don't want to. It's just ridiculous to me, all right, So we're going to play the full interview. It's about thirty three minutes, and I'll stop for commentary. I'll do my best to keep it short. I have saved this. I've seen clips. I've seen a couple of the more uncomfortable moments or the controversial moments, but I really saved this for you guys. I thought this would be great to watch it together and you can get my unfiltered view of what's happening. So before we get started, just in case there are people who are new to the show here, I want to let you know I am conservative. I'm going into this with a bias. I fully planned to vote for Donald Trump. I like Donald Trump. I think he was a good president, and I think he is the best choice of who we have running now, and I'm going to be happy to vote for him. So know that there is definitely a bias here. But again, if you listen to this show, you know that that's not a problem. I will always announce that, but b I think part of getting good media or good information is knowing bias to somebody before you go in So if you hear something that I say that feels a little off or you disagree with, you can go and confirm that with your own bias publication. So you at least you know that I'm coming from an angle, I have a point of view, I have a filter. So that's just a trigger warning, I guess for anyone. But let's get into this and just in a place I do know. I watched the introduction I'll start it right here when he has just entered the stage, and he he did not get a very warm welcome. Of course, I don't think that should be surprising, but it probably did feel odd for him because he's used to doing rallies and he's going places where people really want him, and to wade into a place where you're facing some hostility, it takes guts, first of all, so good on him. It's what we've been begging Republican politicians to do forever now, So good on him. But it definitely he must feel a little strange to walk into a room and you're not being cheered and hailed. Now, people didn't boo or anything. This was largely a professional audience. There were a few rabbel rousers, in there. But to be fair, a large portion of the crowd was black, and black people were real vocal. We're very expressive, so to be fair, I would expect this place was quieter actually than I would have expected. Forget about politics. We just like to make noise wherever we go. We make noise in church, we make noise in the movies. Don't come to a cookout because you will not be heard unless you can speak above a certain decibel. We're just we're loud folks, and we like to interact. So there's some of that in here. But just to set up, he's walking in and he is introducing himself to the ABC interviewer. Let's see who is he he was with? He was with Harris Faulkner. Why didn't I get these ladies' names? Okay, well I'm sorry, ABC News, Harris Faulkner, and then I think another independent journalist, all black, all all women, okay, because they could have got at least one dude up there to interview the guy. But anyways, all right, so I'm gonna start this. Let's not be labor the point here. I mister President, we so appreciate you giving us an hour of your time. I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, Sir. A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today. You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals, from Nicki Haley to former president of brocc Obama, saying that they were not born in the United States, which is not true. You have told four congressman Movement. Of Color who were American citizens to go back to where they came from. You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that they ask are. Quote stupid and racist. You've had dinner with the white supremacists at your marologue resort. So my question, sir, now that you were asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that. Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been asked a question so in such a horrible manner. The first question, I guess suffer back there. I was cringing when I was listening to the opening of this question. I want everyone to remember to try to take after I just made this big announcement about my bias. Try to take as many filters off as you can. Let's try to look at this from a little up above, from a higher elevation, and take as many of our filters off as we can. We're talking to a former president and a man who has a good chance of being the next president. Okay, that question. Now, the whole world is watching. Everybody's been waiting to see what Trump is gonna say at this association of black journalists. It's a big deal. Let us remember that less than three weeks ago, Trump almost died. Someone almost murdered him. An assassin's bullet grazed his ear. The man was almost murdered while running for president. Forget about running for president. If you were almost murdered and you had a near death experience, how do you think you'd be doing three weeks later? You know, but that would be like heavy on your mind. That would be a big deal. Let's not forget that. Not only has Trump gone through that, but that is a hugely newsworthy event. And this is the first question she chooses to ask, and it was barely a question. It was basically, why are you a racist? So good for him for starting out by pointing out that that question was bunk, That question was total bs. It's not even good journalism. This is a man who has seen some of the most classified documents in American history. Right, he's been on the inside already. You're getting to interview this guy. Now. I'm not saying you shouldn't ask uncomfortable questions or hard questions, but that's what you chose to start off with. I don't even think that's what black voters are most interested. And that's why I said there needs to be a dude up here, because that's a chick question. If you that's a girl question, that's a that's a yes queen question. It's not structured for. And what are black people worried about? Honestly, if you pull the average black person, what is what are they most concerned about? Do you really think they're concerned about the white supremacists hiding around every corner. No, We're concerned about how we're gonna put gas in our car, where our kids are gonna go to school. Some of our kids can't read. The cost of living is insane, Inflation is insane, Illegal immigration is insane. We are on the precipice of World War iree. And people don't even know if they're going to be able to afford to send their kids back to school in new clothes, let alone send them to college. These are the things that are on black people's minds. And she's in Chicago, and the first question you wouldn't ask if you're there to ask questions on behalf of the black community. The first question you're going to ask is this. It's not going to be Hey, what's going on on the South Side. They're having a lot of problems with illegal immigration and the mayor is ignoring them. What do you plan to do for them? This? He's absolutely right to push back against her on this, and this is this is a disgusting, terrible, ignorant, and stupid question coming from a supposed professional journalist. Don't even say how are you here? Are you with ABC? Because I think they're a fake news that work a terrible lem and. I think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the black population of this country. I've done so much for the black population of this country, including employment, including opportunity zones. With Senator Timscott of South Carolina, which is one of the greatest programs ever for black workers and black entrepreneurs. I've done so much. And you know when I say this, Historically black colleges and universities were out of money. There were stone call broke, and I saved them and I gave them long term finanswing and nobody else was doing it. I think it's a very rude introduction. I don't know exactly why you would do something like that. And let me go with a step further. I was invited here, and I was told my opponent, whether it was Biden or Kamala, I was told my opponent was going to be here. It turned out my opponent isn't here. You invited me under fools pretense, and then you said you can't do it with zoom. Well you know where zoom. She's going to do it with zoom, and she's not coming. And then you were half an hour l a. Just so we understand, I have too much respect for you to be late. They couldn't get their equipment working or something I would. I think it's a very nasty I have answered the question. I have been the best president for the blackmulation since Abraham Lincoln. Than my answer. For you to start off a questioned and answer pariod, especially when you're thirty five minutes late because you couldn't get your equipment to. Work in such a hostile manner. I think it's a disgrace. Let me just ask a follow up, sir, and then we'll move on to. He's getting a lot of crap for this. Even a lot of conservatives were sort of cringing. I learned early on back in twenty sixteen that the first question to ask when Trump says something that makes you, you know, do that faith it makes you cringe, The first question to ask is is it true? Because Trump is not a politician, we really really really need to understand this. And also, here's one thing everyone needs to stop saying. I wish Trump would fill in the blank. If only Trump could fill in the blank. He's not that guy. He's not going to listen to you. Go back and listen. I broke down the I think I didn't I talk about his speech. I don't know. Somewhere I talked about his RNC speech and how it started out very very calm. I'm usually calm for him. Now he use three days out from an assassination attempt, almost losing his life. But as the speech rolled on, Trump started getting into the swing of things, and you realize that Trump is Trump. He just has to be Trump. He doesn't talk like a politician, he doesn't talk like a diplomat. Ducks very plainly. So you and I might feel uncomfortable. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable when I hear him say the blacks. I think a lot of people do I've done more for the blacks. I did this for the blacks. But then I ask myself, what is it that I'm objecting to that he's saying. Is it the use of that term. It's not a particularly offensive term. It might be cringey because we say black population or black community are African American, But what's the difference between people like people of color and colored people. It's that kind of thing. So when I really dig in, I think, well, what am I really objecting to here? I guess I don't. I guess I don't like it. It sounds weird to my ears. It sounds like comfortable. But what's he's saying. I'm the president that has done more for this community. Opportunity zones are a real thing. The HBCU funding that was a real thing. And he took the time to actually go to HBCUs and talk to them and stop into their communities. So all of that's real. Everything that he's saying is true, that he has done that, and he did answer her question. Now what she wants is for him to say, oh, I'm not a word supremacist, which is the dumbest thing. That you don't say stuff like that because then somebody's got those words coming out of your mouth. Now, Trump himself doesn't even heed that advice that's the number one advice from advice he's from consultants. He doesn't heed that. But when I dig into what he's saying, I don't think he's saying anything crazy here. It just sounds weird because we're used to diplomats speak. But I want people to think about what that means when you're feeling uncomfortable with a guy who speaks as straightforwardly and very poetically frankly as Trump or even diplomatically. You see a guy like that and you think there's something wrong with him. I think there's something wrong with us. I think we've learned to accept the lie. How would I put this, We've learned to our ears are attuned to the lilt of lying. That's what diplomatic speech is. It's a way to lie. When you hear Governor Gavin Newsom talking and he's using a lot of big words, ten dollars words and are all strung together when you actually I can't do a breakdown of Gavin Newsom like I'm doing with Trump, because Gavin Newsom is never saying anything, but people think he is because he's using a polite tone and a calm tone, and he's using these big words and they sound authoritative. So I think we're the ones actually that we've had our view of what a politician should sound like retarded in some way. We've had that view retarded, as in twisted up or perverted. So I think we're the ones that hear these things wrong. Good on him. I have to admit, when I first heard that little clip, I only heard the part where he's talking about I'm doing this for the Blacks, and I was like, what's going on here? But he's absolutely right. That was a terribly rude question. Good on him for calling them out for being late. Good on him for calling them out about the zoom. She's the host, she should have at least had an apology or some kind of explanation for why she made a president, not a sitting president, but a president. There's only been forty six of them, a living former president. Why she made him wait thirty five even if it wasn't her fault. And I'm sure it wasn't her fault, but any good hosts would do that, So he's absolutely right. She did not ask a question that was worth answering. He answered it anyway, but she didn't like the answer. Let's go. F c B Faith is your rhythm and prey station. I listen, my mom listens, pretty much the whole family. Can know me, can know me? Said, don't. I know you'll come to I don't know. Listen to f CB Faith on iHeartRadio, Odissey at fcbfaith dot com, or tell your smart speaker to play FCB Faith on iHeartRadio. The other questions here, Some of your own supporters, including Republicans on Capitol Hill, have labeled Vice President Kamala Harris, who was the first black and Asian American woman to serve as vice president and be on a major party ticket, as a DEI hire. Is that acceptable language to you? And will you tell those Republicans and those supporters. I'm going to go on. I'm going I just want to point out again that this man, three weeks ago, someone tried to shoot him to death. He was almost murdered in pursuit of the highest office in the land, the office of President was attacked three weeks ago. And this is the question she chooses to start out with. Orders to stop it. How do you how do you define DEEI go ahead? How do you define an the equity inclusion? Okay, yeah, go ahead? Is that what your definition? That is? That is? Give me a definition? Would a definition? Give me a definition, Sarah'm asking you a question. Define define? I just defined it, sir. Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she is a black woman? Well, I can say no. I think it's maybe a little bit different. So I've known her a long time, indirectly, not directly very much, and she was always of Indian heritage and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black, and now. She wants so I don't know is she Indian or is she she. Is always age. I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because she was in. I'm gonna let you guys in on a little secret. I've been holding my tongue. I say this to people personally. I've been holding my tongue partly because I think because I'm biracial and so I do understand the whole you're not really black thing. Even I get that a lot from white people and black people. Hilariously enough, I'm fifteen now, so I don't really care about it. I know who I am. However, I know how it looks, and I've sort of held my tongue. But I have to say this. I agree with President Trump here, and I think a lot of black people do. I think it's very strange that all of a sudden she's black. She was not black. She may have gone to an HBCU, but there's white people there too. That means nothing. She has never identified as a black woman. I've never even heard her say it. I don't think she would. I think she I think she has enough good sense to know that that's offensive. She doesn't identify as black, she doesn't live as black. She was raised Indian, and that doesn't necessarily mean a course that you can't claim you're black, but I don't. She doesn't identify, is that even her father's Jamaican even, and so that place that's a different thing as well. There are lots of Jamaicans in this country who refuse to identify as African American. They do not, I would say actually the majority of them, most black immigrants do not like the term African American. Okay, that being said, I agree and pick a lane here. Again, he's pointing out, as immature as it may sound to you, what he is pointing out is that there's a double standard here. She can be fluid and whatever. Who's going to get her the votes, whatever is going to get your attention. You can hold everyone else to these strict standards for race or for gender, or you're not allowed to talk about abortion unless you're a woman, and you're not allowed to talk about black issues unless you're black. We can hold all these other people to these strict standards, But then you have Kamala who isn't being held to any standards at all. They told him he couldn't zoom in even, and they told her that. So he's just pointing that out and While I know that there's a lot of conservatives out there who are finding this part of it distasteful, and I'm not even telling you not to it is distasteful, I still think it's fair to point out I do not think of Kamala Harris as a black woman. She's done nothing for the black community. I don't she doesn't care about us. There's no discussions with Kamala about how black people can prosper or what the Black American experience has been, or she's not and every black person who gets her in a room comes away with that opinions. Ask these people privately what they think of her. When Kimala was on I'm rambling now, but when she was on the primary circuit, when she was running in twenty twenty, her Immaxine Waters had this really nice little media surge and they got invited everywhere, and you know what happened. They never got invited back because you can you can go find video, I swear, especially of Maxine Waters. Go find video of professionally professional black journalists, especially women, interviewing Kamela and Maxine especially, and you can see their faces drop as they're interviewing them. There they are processing the knowledge that, oh my god, I'm talking to an idiot. This person isn't on our side. This person doesn't know what's going on. You can see that those wheels turning as she's being interviewed, both her and Maxine Waters. So I think Trump is perfectly well within his rights to point this out. And the reason he's pointing this out is because he is talking to black people and he's hearing it. And all the way. And then all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went she became a black As you look into that too, when a genuine a very hostile, nasty time. It's a direct question, sir, do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is a DEI higher as someone? There are plenty. I know this lady right over there, Parris is a fantastic person who just interviewed me at length, and we had a great interview, I think, and I heard you get very good greeting. When you told me it was the longest one of your life. So we had a good discussion. Look, I want to talk. About why you're here today. I mean, it is not lost honors, how divided we are as a country, and as. You were coming today. We really got to see that we. Are divided along the lines of race, along the lines of gender. And there is this question of in this moment where we are, why come here? What is your message today? Okay, thank you Harris Faulkner of Fox News for asking a substantive question. That's a good quest. Wish to ask, right, Rachel Scott just okay that the ABC reporter was Rachel Scott. Okay, again, this is a problem for I live in southern California. This is the land of celebrities. They're walking around everywhere that you live next to them. They're at your grocery store, they're in line at Starbucks, they're everywhere. When you first get here, you're like whoa. And then after a while you just kind of settle in and you realize these are just people, and like you, they don't like to be bothered when they're just running out for a cup of coffee. You know, didn't put a bran, didn't put makeup on, you know, or or didn't brush their hair. They don't want to be bothered and taking pictures of just out to quick get a coffee and go back to their cave, just like you. You see whoever pick a celebrity, Chris Pride. You see it, Chris Pratt out there, and this is your one shot at him, right You're probably never going to see him in public again. So of course in your mind you're like, I've got to take this opportunity. I've got to take this chance, ask him for an autograph, asking for a picture. But for him, this is his whole day. This is all he's done is run into people who are getting their one shot. And so the person who who understands the culture here in southern California leaves Chris Pratt alone. They let him get his coffee and they go. But the person who doesn't understand how it works is just and understandably. So I'm not criticizing you if you're this person. This understandably. So this person is thinking, this is my one shot, and I'm gonna blow my wad right here. That's what Rachel Scott did. She blew her wad. That is what you do. If you're a tourist in LA and you see Chris Pratt in a coffee shop, that is not what you do. If you are a professional journalist and you have the opportunity to interview a former president, and you claim to be doing that on behalf of black people. Again, let the man tell black people what he is or isn't there for. And she she just used the opportunity to yes, queen it and well what a waste, just a waste, a waste of space, a waste of timing. Was right to call her out. Harris asked the right question, what are you doing here. Is to stop people from invading our country that are taking frankly, a lot of problems with it, but one of the big problems, and a lot of the journalists in this room I've know, and I have great respect for a lot of the journalists in this room are black. I will tell you that coming from the voter are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking black jobs. You had the. Best what exactly the black jobs? A black job is anybody that has a job. That's what it is, anybody that has and they're taking they're taking the employment away from black people. They're coming in, and they're coming in, they're invading. It's an invasion millions of people, probably fifteen sixteen, seventeen million people. I have a feeling it's much more than that, and everybody's been seeing what's happened. The first group of people, the black population is affected most by that, and Kamala is allowing it to happen. She's the borders are. She's the worst borders are in the history of the world. There's never been a borders are like this. She's never even essentially been She said she was there once, but not the right part of the border, so she was at borders. She's done a horrible job. These people are coming into our country and they're taking black jobs and Hispanic jobs, and frankly, they're taking union jobs. Unions are being very badly affected by all of the millions of people that are pouring into our country. And one thing, as we discussed, many of these people are coming in from mental institutions, from prisons, from jails, their gang members, and other countries, other countries are setting loose their prisoners, they're opening up their prisons and their mental institutions, and they're taking their they're bad people, drug dealers, gang members, and they're bringing them into the United States. By the way, that crime rate is going down, and our crime rate is going to be a disaster. President, I want to get. Into great answer, and he pushed through, Okay, you'll see again, black folks are loud, so that's what we do. You're gonna hear it's mostly women in the audience ridiculing his black jobs thing. And then he said, well, black job is any job? Really? I mean, guys, jobs that black people have, that's a black job. It's really not that serious. But again with Trump, you have to decide which filter you're looking at him through. And again when he says something that might make you want to cringe, you got to ask yourself is it true? So instead of the question shouldn't be what's a black job? The question should be is a true? Like it didn't matter to her. The substance of what he was saying is that black people are losing work to illegal immigrants. That's a big deal. She didn't drill down on that. She what's a black job? Don't you want to know more about jobs that black people have? Does that make you feel better? Jobs that black people have that are being taken away? That's the issue here. So you heard the crowd get a little rowdy and she started to ask queen it again. She writes, she was like, I'm gonna pin him down. This is masterful by Trumpy. Didn't letter, he didn't let her even let her stop the conversation. And you'll notice the crowd dot quiet because he started spitting truth. He started sounding off on facts. Jobs that black people have are being taken by illegal immigrants, and these people are living in Chicago. And five years ago, maybe they would have laughed at him when he said it's gang members, it's drug dealers, it's mentally ill, it's murderers coming across some border. Maybe five years ago they still would have been in that oh, these are just good people mode. But these people are living it, they're seeing it up close, so then they couldn't laugh or make noise when he said that. They knew it was true. He pushed through and told the truth, and he went over that audience, or at least he won their silence. That's that's pretty a pretty big deal so far. He's handling this again. It's not eloquent. Don't stop looking for eloquence, right and stop even looking for things that are going to make you feel comfortable. That's not Trump. It's never going to be Trump. It's not who he is. Stop asking for it, stop hoping for it. Stop wishing it were true. Stop saying, oh, he could win everything if he would. Just this is the guy. That's who he is, and he won. That guy won in twenty sixteen. And guess who we didn't see in twenty twenty. This guy, this guy now is not the guy we saw in twenty twenty, twenty twenty. He was far more arrogant. He did not think he had to push as hard as he should have. He thought he was going to waltz into a second term because he had done so well. That's the Trump that didn't win. This is the Trump that won. So again, I know it makes you uncomfortable, but it put your big girl pennies on. All right, let's go. How you address some of the issues with black communities. And I said that, poor. Old because we live in communities of color that are different. We're not all the same, we don't vote the same, we don't think the strip. It's not monolithic. So as you come here today, I want. To talk about something that bursts, and this is the weight of the inflation on this country right now. The nonprofit Money Management International recently released data from its mid year analysis that we have found a fifty two percent rise and people who are seeking counseling for being in credit debt. They're paying for food that is sky high on their credit cards and now they can't pay that off. The credit counseling nonprofit MMI, as I said, is saying now that they've seen surges that they haven't seen since we were in a pandemic of people in financial trouble. Much of that falls on the shoulders of single moms, single black moms. When you look statistically, how do. You turn it around? What's short plan for the black community when it comes to much. So, first of all, it's very hard to hear you, for whatever reason, because of the fact that they have been equipment because I guess you know, this woman was unable to get the right equipment. But it's very hard for me to hear you, but I can hear every other word. It's very difficult, actually, But so I don't know whether they can fix it or do something with it. But he's still mad. He's still mad. He's still mad. He sounds like this is another reason. This is how you know Trump's not a politician, because this is like, this is what a five star businessman. It was like the accommodations are. My husband is an executive at his company, and over the years he's risen through the ranks and he gets to travel the pretty nice style these days. When he's traveling for work, he gets to fly first class and all that fun stuff. And one time he ended up in the hospital for a little issue to be there for a few days, and he called me. He was so mad because he kept ringing for the nurse. He wanted more food or different food, and she wasn't coming, like she had other patients she had to take care of, and he was so put out, And I said, honey, you're not in a hotel. This is a hospital. That nurse is saving lives. Yeah, they don't come right away when you call unless you're dying, and they'll know that when your heart monitor goes off. So that's a very business attitude. He's complaining about the accommodations, but also he's perturbed and he should be because listen to the question Harris Faukner just asked. Compared to what Rachel Scott asked, I was watching her body language. I'm pretty much an expert now because you know, I watched body language videos on YouTube now, so basically I'm an expert, and I was watching Rachel Scott's body language and she was very uncomfortable. She's shifting. She know she apped up right. Harris is asking a big girl question. Now he claims he didn't hear it, so let's see if he can answer it. But that, ladies and gentlemen, is a question of a journalist. F CB Faith is your rhythm and preystation. I listen, my mom listens, pretty much the whole family. You know me. That just say what do I dout? And know? Jill come Trow. Listen to FDB Faith on iHeartRadio, Audity at fcbfaith dot com, or tell your smart speaker to play FCB Faith on iHeartRadio. I'll do the best I can with it. The inflation is absolutely destroying our middle class, our working class, virtually every class. Inflation is a disaster in our country. Inflation is a country buster. It breaks every country. And we had, in my opinion, the worst inflation we've had. They say it's fifty eight years, but I think it's much more than that. It's been devastating and if you just take a look at a lot of things they don't include, like interest rates. Interest rates one from two point four percent to ten percent, and you can't get the money people can buy houses. They no longer have the American dream. Young people, young black people, they don't have the American dream anymore. They can't buy a house. They can't borrow the money because of the cost of the money. They can't buy it, because of the cost of housing, because of the cost to building, because of inflation. Inflation is a disaster and it's destroying our country, and it's destroying the Black community, probably as much of it. What do you do. You know, we have to do. We have to bring down the cost of energy, and that's going to bring down the cost of inflation. This was all started with a bad energy policy by Joe Biden. By the way, just if I might, I was running against a man named Biden. You probably saw that, and he was losing very badly in the balls, and. Then he had a rather bad debate. I would say it was a bad debate. They would say it was one of the worst worst debates in history. And his bold numbers crashed. And instead of saying, you know, let's keep going and maybe something happens the other way, they said, oh, we're going to replace him. Let's just replace him. That's like you're in a fight. A price fighter is in a fight. He's not doing where you say, let's bring in another fighter. So our whole campaign we're steered toward him, and now we have to steer it to her. But ultimately it's the same because they have bad policy. They have policies of open borders, unbelievable open borders, horrible energy policies. They want to get rid of, as you say, gasoline in cars, they want to get rid of oil, they want to get rid of efficient, efficient heating. Environmentally, what they're doing is killing our country. They're absolutely destroyed. Okay, I just I'm going to pause it here for just one second because as I'm watching this video and he just got interrupted, I think that's Rachel Scott again. She doesn't like that he's rambling, she doesn't like that she's not controlling this interview. But this is he's campaigning, and this is what he's doing. So he moved. He made a salient point just in case nobody asks him. Hey, by the way, y'all switched horses mid race. It's not really how democracy works. He had to get that in. But she said, mister president, now you can't see this if you're listening, but he points, He does this little thing with his hands. He's you know, he talks with his hands and he points to her, hold on, I'm not done talking. That's an authoritative gesture. And she responded to it. And that's the right thing he's talking. He's the candidate and he's a former president, so there is some measure of respect that he is owed here. But once again you'll hear the audience is silent. Now you may not be able to pick this up on audio, but every time he says the word black, there's a few titters in the audience, but they always calm down because they're doing I think involuntarily, but they're doing what I do. When I hear Trump make weird expressions or use the strange expressions, I then say, well, what's he really saying? What's he saying? Is it true? And he's speaking a lot of truth because these people are living it right now. These are no longer ethereal ideas or ideas that just apply to the upper class or to the middle class. Now all of these struggles and stresses are trickling down all the way down to the bottom. Everybody's feeling it at a very real level. And I think I'm hearing that. The audience knows that, and so it's hard for them to get riled up when he's talking about things that are true in their lives. They might not like the solutions he's positing. Although you know, although this is all very vague still, but that's what you're hearing. But Rachel Scott again, she's med. She wants him to pin him down on the white supremacy stuff, and I just I don't think most people care about that at this point growing our country. But the inflation is the thing that's hurting the black worker, the black population, and every other population within our country. Inflation is the worst has been I think it over one hundred years. And they'll fact check it. They'll say it's only fifty eight whatever it may be. They don't add all the numbers, they don't add the really bad numbers, and you can check that too, But inflation, Harris, is absolutely destroying this country and the people in our country. Yes, it's the president. Can I ask you another question that is also impact in black women. And that's very clear, man, I'm sorry, it's very clear. I hear you. Okay, So Sadia Massey, someone from Illinois and a lot of the black woman was shot the other day in her home by a deputy sheriff. The deputy has since been charged with murder. You said police would get immunity from prostitution if you win. Why shouldn't someone like that officer have immunity? In your opinion, community, I don't know the exact case, but I saw something and it didn't look It didn't look. Good to me. It didn't look good to me. Are you talking with the water right? Yeah? Well, I mean police unions are not backing this person either. But again, are they going to be charging the officer? I guess they're charging the officer, So why should he receive immunity? Well he might not. I mean, it depends, It depends on what happens. I'm talking about people that are much different cases than that. We need people to protect ourselves. And by the way, in Chicago is an example. A few weeks ago, July fourth weekend, THEA had one hundred and seventeen shootings and seventeen deaths. Nobody wants that. Nobody wants that. We need to have our police officers have the respect indignity. Back in this particular case, I saw something that didn't look good to me. I didn't like it. I didn't like it at all. So can you get a little more specific back to the community question? Those see those right now. For the most part. For the most part, people are protected by their unions, by their police unions, or by their police departments. But I'm saying if I felt, or if a group of people would feel that somebody was being unfairly prosecuted because the person did a good job maybe with prime or made a mistake, an innocent mistake. There's a big difference between being a bad person and make it an innocent mistake. But if somebody made an innocent mistake, I would want to help that person. What would those exceptions be? What would determined to go after for somebody? And it's a very close goal, and it's very dangerous, and you know, they have the policeman's life and woman is a very difficult thing because sometimes you have less than a second to make it, you know, life and death decision, and sometimes the very mad decisions are made. They're not made from an evil. Standpoint, but they're made from the standpoint of they made a mistake, so I want. To follow up really quickly. You know. I find it interesting, Okay, a decent question. Again, I don't think this is what's on the minds of most black people. I think this is where it would have been good to have a man up here, because he's gonna ask some questions from a different perspective. But nonetheless, it's a question that I think a lot of black people are interested in, and it definitely pertains to things that are going on in society. I gotta say Trump's answer surprised me. I thought that was a very measured Again, if you can't judge Trump by typical diplomatic standards, so it's not gonna sound as poetic as you might hope it would. But I'm actually surprised. It sounds like that's something he's thought out. Again, that's a very direct answer. If you're a politician, there's a politician who doesn't know about this case is going to give you a large run around. He's saying I don't really know about it, which I believe I don't really know about it or heard something and I don't like what I saw. Well, it's very plain, you know, And again I think we're programmed. We're primed to want big flowery answers and oh this bill x y Z and this measure and these statistics, and I'm praying the thoughts and prayers and I'm praying for this and no, he he, you know, brought up the typical violence in Chicago, which again these people are close to. So this isn't just him in you know, Podunk Minnesota talking about Chicago. He's talking about Chicago to Chicagoans and they all have experienced it, and they all know what's going on there, and they all know what he said is the truth, and they all know they don't want that either. And me and DARBYO say it on this show and his show all the time. We were screaming it to the hills during Black Lives Matter. Black people don't want to get rid of police. We just want good police. We don't want to get rid of police. We know what's going on in our neighborhoods and we call the police, We use them the most, so obviously we don't want to get rid of them. And I do believe most black people's senses she's trying to ask a gotcha question, but at least it's got some substance to it, and it's on a topic that matters to a lot of people and that is relevant, and so I thought that was a very interesting way to answer. I'm not going to actually make a judgment call on I haven't heard him say enough about the immunity stuff or and I don't know much about this case either, So I'll just leave my comments to her question and his responsetes keep going. Because you do talk about reigning in prosecutors, especially when it comes to prosecutors that are prosecuting you, Why doesn't that skepticism apply to law enforcement. Well, I've been prosecuted because I'm a political opponent of two people that have weaponized our justice system. I've been prosecuted. I just won the big case in Florida. Everyone said that was the biggest case, that was the most difficult case, and I just wanted now Biden has a similar case, except much worse. I want to point out again, this man was almost murdered less than three weeks ago. I was protected under the Presidential Records Act. Biden wasn't because he wasn't president at the time, and he had fifty years worth of documents, and they ruled that he was incompetent and therefore he shouldn't stand trial. And I said, isn't that something. He's incompetent and he can't stand trial, and yet he can be president. Is that nice? On the basis that he was incompetent, they said he had no memory, and he was a nice old guy, but he had no memory, and said, therefore we're not going to prosecute him. I won the case, and I got very little publicity. I didn't notice ABC doing any publicity on it. George, I didn't tell us to do any publicity on it at all. I won the case. Is the biggest case, uh this was this is an attack on a political bond. And I have another one where. We're going to uh or I'm going to stop it right here just to say you again, you may I'm imagining some of you are out there going, why is he rambling on about this? And he's like, oh my gosh, this is cringe you. Most of the people in the audience have probably not heard what he's saying. They probably have never heard somebody say this is a political prosecution. And here's why. They probably don't know any of that information about Joe Biden. The exam the testimony of the doctor, how that's been covered up. They probably don't know that Joe Biden has a case. They probably don't know that that Trump's dismissing cases as we speak. They probably know none of this. And you hear you can hear the women trying to break in right when they're not getting the answers they want and when he's telling the story as it is. They don't like that. What they want is a gotcha question that's going to produce I've been got answer, and he's not giving it to them. He's using the opportunity to disseminate information about these trials that probably the majority of this audience has never heard. It's a good use of his time limited type. Sir, I love to live on a different actuation. You're the one that held me up for thirty five minutes. Just so you understand, and we can move on now to the state. Of the race, sir, I want to get okay. I mean, yeah, yeah, This is what I love about Trump because I think people's sense when you're tiptoeing or patronizing, and he doesn't patronize folks just because they're black. I think a lot of black people appreciate that. I know most black men do. Most of the black men that I know like Trump because he doesn't pander. He's not going on you're you before me, like oh, can I wash your feet or whatever ridiculous thing like liberals were doing during the summer of BLM or No. He comes in and he's like, no, the energy you give me I'm given back. So if you're gonna be hostile, I'm being hostile too. You didn't treat me with respect. I'm a former president. You didn't treat me with respect. Now you know what. I don't know Rachel Scott. I don't know this other interviewer, but I bet that if they were going to they if they were invited to an event that Trump was hosting and he kept them waiting for thirty five minutes, it would be nothing but how disrespectful he is towards black women. I felt very confident in saying that, and I think, if you're being fair, you'd have to come to that same conclusion. He's absolutely right to give her a hard time over that they made him wait. This is a former president who was almost murdered three weeks ago. Biggest story in the world and these are the questions he's getting. Get back to the campaign, Senator j D. Vance, as you're running. Maybe he said a lot of controversy lately, and I want to read to a few things that he has said. In the past. He said, the Democrats running the country are a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices they've made, and so they don't they want to make the rest of the country visible too. He's not talking here about how great it is to be a parent. He's attacking what he says are the choices people are making to not have children. Did you know that he had these views? Again, there's Rachel Scott. She's editorializing the question. You'll notice the difference now when Harrah speaks up again whenever that is, I want you to notice a difference in tone, structure, format. She's posing questions like a journalist. Now. It's clear she's obviously friendly to Trump because she's a conservative and she's from a right wing network, but she's also asking questions that have information and that have structure. Now Rachel is editorializing his question right now, she's interpreting JD's comments, and then she's asked asking Trump to comment on her interpretation. That's not a journalists a journalistic question. About people who do not have children. Before you picked him to be your running maiden, do you agree with him? No, I know this. He is very family oriented and he thinks family is a great thing. That doesn't mean he thinks that if you don't have a family, it's not I know people with families. I know people with great families. I know people with very troubled families. And I also know people with no families. They didn't meet the right person. Things happen you go through life. You don't meet the right person. She's not just talking about families here, and also those people that don't have. Children to get less both. On I I'm just speaking for you're speaking family. He strongly believes in family, but I know people with great families. I know people with not great families that don't have a family, and the people without them. Are you seeing what Trump's doing here? He's not getting derailed. She tried. This guy's in charge is no wonder he used to be the president. This guy's in charge hurt again. It might not sound comfortable, might not sound eloquent, but he wrestled that back from her. I'm answering a question. You don't get to interrupt me in the middle of the question to editorialize so that you get a different kind of answer. You'll get the answer I'm giving. A family of far better. They're superior in many cases. Okay, he's not saying they're not. What he's saying is that he thinks the family experience is a very important thing. It's a very good thing. But that doesn't mean that if you grow up and you grow older and you don't meet somebody that would be wonderful to meet, that would have been good, that that's a bad thing. He's not saying that, he was my interpretation. You'll have to ask him, actually, but my interpretation is he strongly family oriented. But that doesn't mean if you don't have a family there's something wrong with it. Just one other point and then we'll move on. Just one of the bedrock principles of American life is one person, one vote. Senator jd Vance. Has suggested that someone who has children should have more votes than a person who does not have children. I just want to be clear here, is that the position of your campaign. Well, no, but it's not something I have ever heard before. I can tell you this right now. You have illegal aliens coming into our country, many from prisons and many from mental institutions, and they want to give them votes. I don't think they should have votes. They came into our country illegally. Her own people in this room that have been here a long time, that have worked hard, that in many cases, and you'll see this happening. If I'm not elected, You're going to see that. If I am, you're not going to have any problem, but you're going to see it happening a long time. You're going to see the people in this room, and people outside of this room are going to be losing their jobs, the people that have come into this country illegally. Mister President, Can we stay with just kind of the state of the race. Thank you Harris for stepping in. Rachel, I don't know why she gets that number one spot next to Trump is She's terrible. She's not even asking interesting questions. I gosh, again, I know I'm going into this bias and I a lot. I mean, the way the conservatives, I'm really glad I'm watching this fresh with you that I haven't had a chance to ruminate on them. You're literally getting my super fresh take on this. The way I've been reading conservatives breaking down this interview has been this was a disaster for him. Now, maybe it's because I'm looking at this analytically and slowly that I'm seeing it differently, but to me, it's a masterclass. Now. Now, if you thought he was going to go in there and just charm everybody and come out a hero, then that's on you. And then I think, yeah, you will be disappointed. But it's a hostile environment. He knew that going in, and he could have chosen to handle that two ways. He could have been gracious or matched the ender. And this is Trump, so he matched the energy. Now, if I think if this was a Tim Scott or a Marco Rubio or like Mike Pence or something, if he was going even Jade Vance, they may have chosen a more gracious tact. But that is not Trump. And he is no respector of your race, your gender, or your position. You asked him a very heated question and the answer to that whole like jd Vance wants to give people without kids, If you have kids, you sho have more votes. This is sarcasm right there, they're picking out sarcasm, they're picking out humor and pretending that it's real. Of course, the president does not have that ability. This would be a great opportunity to educate the crowd on the functions of government and the three branches and how they work, because a lot of Democrats don't understand that. It's a great another great opportunity to stress that they're not voting for a king who can snap his fingers and tell everyone. But his answer was sure in there, it's no, and then he pivoted, Right, I think JD's a family man and that's what he's saying. But you'll have to ask him, right, that's what they should. That's really well, you have to ask him. But no, of course, not one person will vote. By the way, illegals are stealing both she she interjected, sir, it's illegal for immigrants to vote. Yeah, we we know that's supposedly the case. But if AB News ABC News was doing doing their job at all, they would know that's not always the case. It's right now because I felt like that vice president question, candidate candidate question was right in there with that. So let's talk about JD. Vans for a little bit. She's had some stumbles out of the gate. I don't know if you're hearing what we hear as reporters, but it's been a tough couple of. Weeks for him. Why did you choose JD. Vans? Why did you choose him? And I'm having a hard time hearing to show everybody out there, can I'll. Tell you what. I chose him because he's a very believer in work and the working man and woman, and especially the working man and women who. Have been treated very unfairly. Because you have many of them, many of them in this room, but you have many of those people. They were treated very unfairly. They worked very hard, and they would treated unfairly. He wrote the book that became a best seller. The movie became a smash hit. He's a very smart guy. Without the benefit of having a family that has contacts, like a father that was well connected. He got into Yale Law School. He graduated in two years from Ohio State Summa cublaude. I mean, you'd take a look at his career has been an amazing career. He started off at a level with a difficult family situation, very difficult with the mother, the father, everything else. He ends up going to Yale Law School, was one of the top students, became the. Head of the law journal. I mean, it's an amazing thing. When he's a four year he was in the military with great distinction for four years. Got out all right, great question by Harris. Again, I want to point out he's saying things that most of the people in this room have probably not heard and probably won't hear. They've not heard about JD's background, or his work ethic, or how he feels about family. They've only heard or heard or seen the headlines from people like Rachel Scott, which are like JD. Vance's a white supremacist and he drinks diet mountain dew and he hates cat ladies. That's probably all they've heard. So this is a great opportunity for Trump to explain who this guy is to a hostile group of people who will have no other opportunity to hear the truth than this, because a lot of them aren't going to go seek it out. Went into business, became successful in business, very successful in business. Actually that did public offerings and other things. And I, you know, I have to believe in that. I mean, he's somebody that was born in a rough situation. Most of the people know that situation because it was very well documented. In his book. And I have a lot of respect for somebody that can get into Yale and become one of the best students in Yale, that meets a young woman at Yale who was also outstanding, and they get married. They have a beautiful family. But he had a you know, he's made himself an amazing life. He then gets goes to Ohio, lives in Ohio, and he. Had my endorsement that helped, but he wins. He said, he becomes a United States so he's a United States Center. And so Harris, like, I respect you for your success. I respect people for their success. The reason I asked the question is because the last time you and I sat and talked was the day that you were shot. We've been together for much of that day. You left to go to Butler. Right, this interview is thirty five minutes long. I'm at twenty two minutes and twenty seconds, and this is the first mention of the tuning, and it's Harris. Packner, Pennsylvania. And we didn't know what was next. And two days after that I cannot understand your microphone. I know it is really hard for me. I mean, it's just I can understand you perfectly closer. I can understand. Happy to hear I waited to Rachel's God, I can understand you perfectly. She's like, have a me here, that's sir, if only she was asking real questions. I can't understand, Harris because of the distance and the mics are really in lousy shape. But I cannot understand what you're saying. So what I wanted to say was the last time we spoke, you said some words that were prophetic because I asked you who you wanted to choose for vice president, and you said, normally it really wouldn't matter. What they would. You know, you choose somebody that you think has a future of that sort of thing. But you said these were three and a half hours before an attempted assassination on your life. You told me that bad things. Happen heres, and that's why this decision is important. This time bad things happen. You said it twice. When you look at Jadie Vance, is he ready on day one? Does he what ready on day one? If he has to be? I've always had great respect for him and for the other candidates too. But I will say this, and I think this is well documented. Historically, the vice president in terms of the election does not have any impact. I mean virtually no impact. You have two or three days where there's a lot of commotion as to who like you're having it on the Democrat side, who it's going to be, and then that dies down and it's all about the presidential pick. Virtually never has it mattered. Maybe lived at Johnson matter for different reasons, and what we're talking about not for vout reasons, but for political reasons, other political reasons. But historically, the choice of a vice president makes no difference. You're voting for. The president, and you can have a vice president who's outstanding in every way, and I think J dan Is, I think that all of them would have been. But but you're not voting that way. You're voting for the president. You're voting for me. If you like me, I'm gonna win. If you don't like me, I'm. Not gonna win. I'm going to get my jd vance question, and I'm going to get my jd vance question. To your point and to A. Rangel's point, he you know, has a lot of opinions about childless women like myself, would divorce people like yourself. Do you think, well, I meant friendly manner. My point is, do you think. The party, the Republican Party, is getting a little bit too. Judging about people's lives when you. Think about abortion, or when you think about what Jade Advance is saying. I don't think. Look, I think that the Democrat Party is really the one that has the problem. I think they're radical on abortion because they're allowing abortion in the ninth month. They're allowing if they're allowing the death of a baby after the baby is born, based on state, based on the governor of Virginia. They're allowing the death debate after it's born. They're allowing abortions in the eighth and ninth month. I think they're and I think the Republican. I hate this talking point, and I think every woman who tries to use it sounds so freaking stupid. Nobody is aboarding babies in the ninth month, then why are you opposing legislation to prevent the abortion of babies in the ninth month. If it doesn't exist, what's the big deal? If it doesn't exist. Why is it a debate because it exists. Blican Party is actually much less so I think I've made them much less radical, perhaps, but the Republican Party, what we're doing is bringing it back to the States where everybody wanted it. Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives, everybody wanted abortion brought back. They didn't want Roe v. Wade in the federal government. They wanted it. Everybody but the Americans opposed. They don't know that's right now they're voting it. Brought it back to the States now. I happen to believe. In the three exceptions Ronald Reagan believed with rape and says life of the Mother. I do. I think most people do. I'm just going to posit you a little commentary on this. This is a controversial part for conservatives of Trump's platform. I don't believe in any exceptions. I am a pro life purists to believe if something is living, you either kill it or let it live, and the circumstances under which it came to life don't make a difference on whether or not that person should be valued. So I don't believe in any exceptions. I think he's wrong However, there are many people out there who agree with him, and many conservatives and Republicans who do, so I choose not to let this be the issue that is the ultimate decider for whether or not I vote for him. He's always been, He's been who he's always been. He's a New York Republican, and even that's pretty new. He was registered as a Democrat forever. So this is not an atypical response from a New Yorker, even a conservative New Yorker. So while I disagree with him fundamentally, at a fundamental level about abortion, this is the great thing about Roe v. Wade being repealed. Now this is an argument for me in my state. Now I've lost it. I've been California, so I've lost that argument for now. But this is the only answer that you should give, and he's giving it. It's good. I'm going to believe that he's been listening to this show and listened to my suggestions about the abortion question. The abortion question should always be used as an opportunity to talk about the three branches of government and states rights. F c B. Faith is your rhythm and preystation. I listen, My mom listens pretty much the whole family. Can that just said what. You don't I don't don't I know, Jill come true. Listen to FCB Faith on iHeartRadio, audity at fcbfaith dot com, or tell your smart speaker to play FCB Faith on iHeartRadio. I think most Republicans do also. But if you take a look right now they're doing, it's an amazing thing out of the federal government. It's in states and people are voting, and I will say, Ohio is let's go a little more liberal version has been approved Kansas, the same thing. A little bit surprising to a lot of people, but the people are now voting, and it's taking this issue that's been going on for fifty two years and has torn our country apart, and it's giving it. To the people to vote on and they're voting. And many states have already voted, others are in the process of voting, and it's bringing them back to the people and a voting the people. And it's not at all radical. And again you have to follow your heart. I happen to believe in the three exceptions. Most people believe in the three exceptions. Most Republicans believe in the exceptions, but they don't want to see an abortion in the ninth month or the eighth month. Almost everybody agrees to that, and they certainly don't want to see. In the case of the Governor of Virginia, the former governor, my dad, who said, we set the baby aside and then we decide what to do, meaning what do we do we execute the baby. That's a radical, horrible position, and some people, some people want that. I don't want it. Are you hearing the reaction of the audience again, This is why every Republican politician should weighe into events like this. This should be a clarion call for every Republican politician who's campaigning for the next couple of years show up at these very uncomfortable places, because it's the only time they're going to get to hear the truth on a message. You're hearing people gasp. People didn't know that. The Governor of Virginia said this, Oh, if the mom wanted an abortion, but then the baby's are born, the baby is born a He said this, if the mom wants an abortion but the baby is accidentally born alive, I would suggest setting them. I would support setting the baby aside, and the doctor and mother having a conversation about how to move forward. Now I am going to editorialize on that, but it shouldn't be a big shock. I think we all agree that means we're going to decide whether or not we kill the baby or complete the abortion, or we let the baby live. This is the only time a lot of these people are ever going to hear because ABC News isn't reporting that, CNN isn't going to report that. This is the only time that a lot of these people are going to hear that this is what Democrats think. Most people don't thank you. Can I just five it really quickly to another question about you were of health. Harris. You're an active man. You we see you golfing all the time. But if if you win, you'll still be president at eighty two, which is older than Biden is right now. But look, Mentley, here's the question. Shut he shut, But most people would you consider most people? I know many people in their eighties and their nineties that are in great shape. Some of our greatest leaders. You look at throughout the world, world history, the greatest leaders, some of the greatest leaders in the world were in their eighties. But here's the question, would you consider stepping down if you felt that your health was declining. Or would you absolutely and who would I think? I know, how would you make that decision? I think? I know. Look if I came onto a stage like this and I got treated so rudely? Is this woman how I do this? And I'm fine with it because she it does it. She was very rude, sir, very rude. I was a nasty That wasn't a question. She answer the question. She gave a statement that wasn't a question. They really needed a man up here, They really need a man. And you heard Harris try to interject, because she is such a gracious woman and she's trying to save him. I think, but he again, this is Trump right, he's still caught up on I didn't get good service, he was. He felt very disrespected. Again, I want to remind you, guys that this man almost was almost murdered three weeks ago, almost murdered. That's it's easy for us to forget that he's a real person. And what a traumatizing, horrific experience that must have been. I don't know if any of you have ever had a near death experience, but it changes you. So yeah, he he was almost murdered because indirectly because of the vitriol and divisiveness that people like these reporters promote. So, yeah, he's a little salty. I don't know if I wouldn't be the same, I probably wouldn't have the courage to be that salty on stage. Actually, yeah, he's a little salty, and and I'm gonna give him some grace there. And now I know the rest of the country might not have that same kind of grace for him. That's his problem, not mine. Because I'm not running his campaign. I can only get the Trump that he gives me. But I'm offended for him. This is not how you treat a presidential candidate. This is not how you That stage should everything should have been perfected on that stage. You have a presidential candidate who is also a former president, a former leader of the free world, and may very well be the next one. He's absolutely in my mind, it's fine. Said you would. You would absolutely if I thought that I was failing in some way, I want people to be shoved. I'll go a step further. I want anybody running for president to take an aptitude test, to take a cognitive test. I think it's a great idea. And I took two of them, and I I took two of them. But let me ask you, I would like to have people running for president. And I don't mean because they are seventy five or eighty five. I think anybody running, I'd like to do it. People say it's not constitutional. I would like to have something past where you could do it. I think we should know. I mean, I've watched what's happened in the last couple of years under this gentleman, and our country is a mess. We have inflation, we have dominions of people falling in we have Afghanistan, which was the worst, most embarrassing moment in the history of our country. What he has done to our country, and her too, what they've done to our country. She has been a horrible vice. President that she's considered the worst vice president in the history. Of Would you consider taking the cognitivettack. Mister public, Well, I've already taken two of them, but I'll do it again. Mister. I suggested Harris that let's take one. I said, Joe, and I will go and take a cognitive test. Now, I'd do it with her too. I would do it with her. Also, you know what, she failed her low exam. She didn't pass her low exams, so maybe she would pass the cognitive test. Mister president, thinks she would have just clear, just giving you the fact to be clear, you don't think. Sir, bar exam and she didn't think she would pass it? Is it true? Is it true? And she didn't think she was going to have it pass it And I don't know what happened. Maybe she passed it. Over here, mister president. I would love to ask you about January six. You called yourself the care candidate of law and order. When Time magazine asked you if you would consider pardoning all the rioters, you said yes, absolutely, you call them patriots. One hundred and forty police officers were assaulted that day. Their injuries included broken bones. At least one officer lost an eye, one had two cracked ribs, two smashed spinal discs, another had a stroke. Were the people who. Was I just want to remind you that of the three people running for president or being discussed in a serious way running for president in this campaign, only one has been shot at, only one has survived an assassination attempt, and neither one of the Democrat candidates. Is that person? Three weeks ago, someone tried to murder President Donald Trump on global television. All right, continue with your question. Rachel assaulted those one hundred and forty officers, including those I just mentioned, patriots who deserve parties. Well, let me bring it back to modern day. Like about five days ago, we had an attack on the capitol, horrible attack on the Capitol. Use of the people that were protesting and spring these incredible. Monuments, bells, lions, all these magnificent limestone and granite with red paint, red spray paint that will never actually come off, especially on the limestone. It will never. I've a builder, I know about this stuff. It'll never. You'll see it in a hundred years from now. They viciously attacked our government. They fought with police, they fought with them. That's interesting. I'm just listening to the audience react to that, because clearly there are people in the audience who are hostile and everything he says, they're going to scoff at and to be expected. But again another example of he's saying things people are not getting to hear. He's a builder. So when you wonder why is it that Trump seems like a man of the people, even though he's a billionaire. He works on construction sites, works closely with construction crews. These are the people who help him build his business literally, so he's got to know about the materials. He's got to know how they're put together. He's got to know the hard work that goes into it. I think this is he's on the street talking to these people. I think Bill Maher had a great monologue about it back in twenty sixteen when he was like, look, I hate Trump. I know why you do too, but don't underestimate the fact, like he knows what's going on in the streets with the working class, not because he's working class, but because those are the people who support his business. He needs builders to build the buildings that he sells, So yeah, he does know a lot about building buildings. And these people only think of him as a celebrity defined by headlines of the New York Times and ABC News. Much more openly than I saw in January sixth. What's going to happen to those people? What's going to happen to the people in Portland that destroyed on thried to ride as officers to what's going to happen? Absolutely, I would, you would. If they're innocent, I would pardon them. They've been convicted, by the way, the Supreme Court just undered, Well, they were convicted by a very very tough system. They were. How come the people that tried to burn down Minneapolis? How come the purple that took over a large percentage of Seattle? How come nothing happened to them? How come that we're talking about people meeting off, talking about dragging them down the stairs? There? Have you seen that videos? You would part those You would pardon those rioters. They shot a young lady in the face who was protesting. They shot her. The you know, nobody died that day, you do know that. But people died in Seattle. Nobody died. But people died in you know, people died in Minneapolis, and nothing happens and nobody ever talks and nothing happens to them, those people. But you went after the j six people with a vengeance. And I'll tell you what, what about the cops that were And I'm all for the polices, you know, but what about the police that are ushering everybody into the capitol, go in, go in, go in? What about that. Look, nothing is nothing is perfect in life. But you have people from Minneapolis, you have people just from five days ago in Washington, d C. They were having fist fights and fighting with the police. They were spraying and destroyed, they were desecrating our monuments in Washington, DC five days ago, and nothing happened to them. And you have to you can't have two systems of justice. That's why they went after me as a political opponent, because they felt they couldn't win without doing that. And we're going to win our cases and we're going to be vindicated, but I have to spend a lot of time with that and money. That's what they want after the election. They want care, although in my case I think they broun probably will because the hater in the spring name. But I'll tell you, they went after me as a political opponent. That's never happened in our country before. And it's such a terrible, terrible precedent. What do you do on Okay, that's great, you pivot. The J six question is just a dog whistle. It's literally a zero substance. Nobody except the reporter class cares anymore. Uh, And so I think he rambled a little bit. I don't think I wouldn't count out as a win on that question. But he, you know, was the right thing to do to point out the double standard in the two tiers and then bring it back to him. He is the candidate and he's campaigning, so turnabout's fair play. I guess I'll say that. Day one if you win. What's your first thing? What do I do? I close the vorter? I do two things because I can do a lot of things simultaneously. Close the voter. And we don't want people coming in. We want people to come in, Harris, but they have to be vetted. They have to be they have to come in legally. We want all I want. People to come into a country, but they have to be vetted, they have to be checked. So when you say, what do I do that? And I drill, baby drill. I bring energy way down, I bring interest rates are down. I bring inflation way down so people can buy bacon again, so people can buy a Hammy sandwich again, so that people can go to a restaurant and afford it, because right now people can't buy food. Your grocery bills are up forty to fifty sixty percent. Right She's a great to me. Oh, she's a great. Thank you, I thank you very much. It's I think we. Are but it's but it's true. Your grocery bills are up, and then they're mandating that you buy an all electric car. You know, Elon Mussel endorse me, and he's a friend of mine. He's a good guy, he's a smart guy. But I'm against all everybody having an electric car. Okay, I'm very much against that. You have to be able to if you want a hybrid or if you want a gasoline propelled car. But you know, we have more liquid gold gasoline oil under our feet than any other country, more than Saudi Arabia, more than Russia, more than any other country. I want to use it. I want to use what we have. I want to bring down prices, bring down casts. I mean about that's the first time most people in that audience have heard we have more oil than Saudi Arabia. And I also have to stop the invasion. And remember, they're taking your jobs. These people coming in are taking your jobs. I think we have to leave it there by the Trump team, all right, so leave it well. That is the last word. Thank you so much, mister Trump. All right, let's stop sharing that. You guys got to peek into what's on my sidebar there, Annabelle, I love horror movies. Excuse me, excuse me my bed? Okay, well that's it. How do you think he did? Write to me? J lt j lt y at proton mailedjltyatt proton mel dot com. How do you think he did? I think he did just fine. I actually that was way better than I thought. I was reading the conservative pundits on this and really thought he kind of crapped the bed, and I don't think he did. But I guess again, if I was watching it live, maybe I would have thought that. But because I'm analyzing it, I get to pick through it. He wasn't at a friendly venue, so you have to understand that it's not his audience. Yes, of course there were people who were just there to be rude. He also, they messed with him. Do you think they would make Mayor Brandon Johnson wait thirty five minutes to get their equipment set up? Yeah, they were messing with him. And you can say, I mean, maybe you can. I can hear some of you out there going, well, he shouldn't let it get to his head but again, that's Trump. I don't know who you expect them to be. I'm not sure if you're waiting for him to turn into this like really classy diplomat that like at midnight, is that what happens is the pumpkin runs out of magic. No, this is Trump. This is how he talks, this is what he does, this is how he is. And he was he felt disrespected and that bothered him, and so he let them know and not believe me, you better believe if that was Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, if that was whoever, if that was Rachel Scott herself, and they were invited to an event and they had to wait thirty five minutes, and then the opening question was something very rude, divisive and dismissive. Yeah, you'd better believe they would be upset, and you would be upset on their behalf. So I don't. And Trump only has himself to defend him when he's on that stage. I thought he did a good job. He answered the questions the way he should have answered them. Again, considering who he is, he got a little long on that J six rant. I think that's something you should miss and is easily dismissable, but he answered the questions. He insisted on being allowed to answer the questions. I'm disappointed that Harris Faukner let herself get talked over so much, but I'm saying that as somebody who probably would have done the same thing, just because you know you're at the disadvantage, you know you're not welcome there as well. She probably had been treated pretty harshly while she was there. She's not welcome, you know. Rachel really dominated, and that was probably on purpose. The other one, who's Katia Somemaphore Kadilla Someophore. I thought she did well. She had more of like a localized angle. I guess she'd drilled down, but still not asking the questions that even black voters, I think are worried about it. If they had been asking about that in twenty twenty or twenty twenty two, yeah, I think those would have been legitimate questions. But I again, I'm just one person, and I don't know every black person clearly, but in my circle and the people that I talk to and the people I read and watch and listen to in black pop culture, they're not worry about most of them barely even think about January sixth, Right, they're not worrying about that. They don't really care if Trump's gonna pardon these guys or not. They don't care. They care about why they can't get a home loan, why they can't qualify for one. They care about why they can't buy bacon at the store. That's a big deal to me, because I love bacon. Right. They care about why they are paying extra taxes for subsidies on electric vehicles they'll never be able to afford and can't charge. These are the things people that they care about. That. The border's big. It's huge. It's huge, And I find it simultaneously disturbing and comforting that the left wing progressive media, as represented by two of the women on that stage, don't seem to yet understand what a big deal the border is for most of America. It's disturbing because again, it's just another sign that this is the elitist class. They don't represent us, nor do they care about us. They don't care to know how we really feel and think about things when it defies their narrative. You are a non person, you don't count, you ain't black, or whatever. You ain't a woman, so that's disturbing, but I also find it comforting that they're prostly underestimating the American voter yet again like they did in twenty sixteen, and they don't have a clue, so they're going to cover all the wrong things until it's too late for them. Hopefully that's the outcome. But you tell me what you think. Jlt Wyatt, ProtonMail dot com. If you haven't yet subscribe to this podcast, please do so. Hit that subscribe button.
