Happy New Year, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Just Listen to Yourself with Kira Davis. I am your host, Kia Davis, and this is a podcast where we take hot topics, hot button issues, and we discuss the talking points on those topics, and we draw those talking points all the way out to their logical conclusion. Just under the wire. I'm getting you a New Year's show. As you guys know, if you've been following me, twenty twenty four has been a really rough year for me and I feel that in a lot of ways, it's going to turn out to be a really great year for me because I'm going through some kind of transformation here and I want to share it all with you. But I haven't finished my transformation yet, so I don't want to jinx anything. But I am feeling a little more positive now than I have been in the last year. But I am ready to close the door in twenty twenty four. I'm ready to close the door on the last four years at least, but for sure the last four years, and I feel America is right there with me. We were all holding our breaths until all holding our breath, a collective breath until November. We talked about that, and then the unthinkable happened. It was a landslide victory from President Trump. Now I feel that we're all holding our breath for January, for January twentieth, and for this inauguration to just there's just so much weird stuff, drones in the sky and all foreign actors doing weird things, and South Korea's imploding and all of this weird stuff is going on, and all of us are going Okay, we just need to make it to the end. Of January, and we will have a new president and the world is going to look a lot different. And that's what's so crazy and awesome about being America. What happens here matters to the rest of the world. And that is why our burden as citizens, I believe, is much much greater than the citizenry of other nations. I don't mean to sound cocky about that, but I just think that our responsibility, I don't know if responsibilities is a word I'm looking for, but our role in this world, our responsibility as citizens, I believe is much greater than that of other nations because we are the caretakers of freedom, at least earthly freedom. You all know that. I believe true liberty comes from God, comes from freedom in Christ. But we live in this earthly realm, and there are the affairs of God and there are the affairs of man. And so when it comes to the affairs of man, at this point in history, Americans are the caretakers of freedom. And when we're struggling with the idea of freedom, the world struggles too. And we've seen the world struggling, and so I think we're just all ready to get back to some sort of structure Daddy's home. Everybody start putting the toys away and get the big piece of chicken ready for him. So I wanted to do just end your countdown, something fun, something late, and something easy, because I'm not into complicated right now at this point in my life. And so I found a clip at a little clip montage for us to go through together and be reminded of some of the fun things. And we can say it's fun now, but some of the fun things that happened in twenty twenty four. So our friends over at Graby and News Service compiled a list of twenty twenty four's most mortifying media moments, and I thought it would be So it's their top ten. I thought it would be fun to go through those together be reminded of where we've come from. It's just so crazy to think about what has happened. You know, my son's home for Christmas break, and yesterday we met my uncle and his wife out for lunch. Was my uncle's birthday. He wanted to celebrate with us. Love you, uncle, Jerald, and so he took us out to lunch. I have the best kind of uncle. He takes me to a meal. He takes me out when it's his birthday. That's the best kind of uncle. Anyways, I hadn't seen my uncle since the election, and they're conservatives. They live in Arizona and they're very involved in Arizona politics and so and a lot of our family is liberal, and so we were just catching up and sharing war stories from election night, and my son said, my uncle asked my son, well, what was school like? What was campus like? And my son said, it was crazy because the next day I woke up and like, the world seemed brighter and the birds were singing. It was November, but there seemed like there were flowers out, and I was feeling so good and positive about the world. And then I get to campus and it's like, so everybody's mother was murdered overnight. It was just bizarre, but that's how it was. Right, Like. The world shifted on its axis in November. I do not think there is anyone who would disagree, even the people who don't like the direction it shifted in. Just something changed overnight. And before we get into this, let me be serious for a moment here. This is why America it is important to hang on even when it looks like things are hopeless. Even when it looks like America is lost and Americans have completely strayed off the path of liberty, even still, it matters that you hold the line. And that's why it matters that you know what you believe, because people are going to come along and they're going to disappoint you. I'm going to address this whole Elon vivk Visa thing. I have some things to say about it. I will address that. But one of the interesting parts, it's what I really want to talk about, is how quickly it's soured many people on Elon Viveig and the things that they're planning to do. And I'm not going to litigate that right now, but what it brings to mind is that we we are not to put our trust or hope in man that belongs to the Lord and his ideas. We need to know our ideas because men and women leaders will come and go. They're all going to die. None of them be death. They're all going to die. They're all fallible, they're all just human. They're all going to disappoint us. If you don't know what you believe, then you're going to be knocked off your game. When a guy like Elon Musk comes along to disappoint you with something he says or does, or a guy like Trump, or a woman like Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris, whoever your hero is, when that person messes up, you're going to be totally knocked off your game. This is why you see so many Christians in the worship industry, if you will deconstruct, they didn't know what they believed in the first place. They put their hope in man, and when a man disappointed them, all was lost. So it is important. This is why what we're doing on this show. What you do every day when you sit down, you think about things, and you're not reactionary, but you're thoughtful. As little as it seems, as silly as it seems, what you're doing is a huge part of sustaining liberty. Just thinking is a huge part of sustaining liberty. You're doing something because if you know what you believe, then you're going to be able to defend that idea even in the face of disappointment or bad leaders. So it mattered that there were people out there who are willing to tell the truth no matter what, no matter what it costs them, and the truth is becoming revealed. This is scriptural. This is from the Lord. What's done in the dark will come to light. Your soon will find you out. America sins are finding her out, and it's going to be a really twenty twenty five is going to be really bumpy. Maybe I'll save this for the end of the show. I'll save it all right, Let's get into these clips. Top ten mortifying media moments of twenty twenty four a courtesy of grabyan clip service. We love those guys over there. Let's get into it. Number ten. Ignore your eyes. Those are cheap fakes. There's a growing and insidious trend in right wing media broadcast, print, and social media. It is to take highly misleading and selectively edited videos of President Biden directly from Republican National Committee social media accounts, and then use those videos to spread messages virally to cast out on President Biden's fitness for office. Here is this headline from The New York Post quote Biden appears to freeze up, has to be led off stage by Obama at Megabucks LA fundraiser. The full video posted by biden financed chair on Twitter shows something entirely different. Biden reacting to applause and then walking off stage with former President Obama. It comes less than one week after The New York Post made a cover out of another piece of deceptively edited tape, calling him Meander in Chief due to what they claim was Biden walking away during a skydiving demonstration during the G seven seven last week. Biden was going over to congratulate one of the skydivers. The articles are based on cheap fakes, videos of real events that are intentionally manipulated to fool viewers. Cheap fakes. Wow wow wow. If there is any story that is more more, is more illuminating of just the absolute misinformation propaganda machine that the legacy media has become, it's it's this one. It is this story. This laid the mouthfeastings of the mainstream media bear this story more so than the Hunter Biden laptop, more so than Hillary Clinton's emails. Because Hunter's laptop and Hillary Clinton's emails requires a certain level of political awareness that most Americans didn't have. It did make a difference those story. The email story did make a difference, and the laptop story would have made a difference in informed voters, which in a tight races helps right, It swings those voters important voters. But as far as general public awareness, those stories didn't do a whole lot for the American public. We're very entertainment minded, you know, short clip oriented. A lot of Americans aren't paying attention to those kinds of stories. But this story was one no one can ignore because this wasn't Biden the candidate. This was Biden the president. So we got to see him all the time. We had to see him all the time. He had to be out there doing his job. We didn't see him all the time, but we certainly got to see him more than when he was campaigning. And Americans saw what was right in front of their eyes. And even the stupid Americans can see when an old man is becoming senile, when an old man is failing in his health and mental acuity. It's it's quite obvious we were this. You don't have to be an expert, you know, we've been dumped into the middle of this believe the experts culture, and you don't have to be an expert right to know what a person looks like when their health is failing and they are aging. Because we all age, we all have friends and family who age. Being part of humanity means watching people age and die, and that's a universal experience, so we all have experience in it. We don't need to be experts. We saw it right in front of our eyes. It was absolutely undeniable. Although the press, like you saw here, that was Nicole Wallace from MSNBC in that particular clip. But the press tried to deny it, and it was really hard to imagine that they didn't see what we saw. It couldn't be possible. Although you've had a slate of mia culpas since the election from certain members of the left wing media, going, well, you know, we didn't do enough research, We didn't look hard enough what exactly was happening there. What do you think were they blatantly lying or were they blatantly stupid. I'm going to give you my opinion here. I think that they that most of them, some of them were absolutely lying after they got to be one on one with the president and saw Some of those people got to be one on one with the president and they saw up close his condition, and those people did lie. But I believe people like Nicole Wallace, others in the in the legacy media, I believe that they are actually incredibly stupid. Stupid isn't the word, because I don't think you get to be in the upper echelons of media if you're a complete idiot. I'll say that stupid. It's not the word lazy. What happens is this business is tough, right, I'm still I'm fifty, I'm still slogging it. I'm I'm never going to really make it probably to a tier where this business is easy for me. This business is tough. It's a slog it's a hustle. When you get to the top, you get you get producers. You get people to do the legwork for you. Makes your job a lot easier. They pick the stories, they tell you what's trending. They research the stories, They go get your guests. You don't have to do anything when you get to the level of Nicole Wallace on MSNBC. You don't have to do anything except read and have an opinion. So what's happening is she's going home at the end of the day. She's not watching the news rundowns. She's going home and pouring the glass of wine and doing whatever it is Nicole Wallace does to relax in the evenings. Her producers are doing that work. And the producers are gen z idiots who definitely are too stupid to get the whole story. So they're finding clips, they're clipping up what satisfies their bias. They're giving it to Nicole Wallace, and Nicole Wallace is just looking at that and going, this doesn't look so bad. What is everyone complaining about? So it is actual stupidity. It's laziness, not stupidity. It's actual laziness, is what it is. And this is the symptom of success. And this is what we're seeing. And I believe that's what happened to James Carvill. You he just went off in this epic rant on the complete incompetence of the Harris campaign. But a week prior he was out there talking about how Harris is gonna win, She's gonna win. I feel good about this. Here's the numbers, YadA, YadA, YadA. James Carville is one of the most accomplished analysts in the game. He's not an idiot, for sure. He's successful for a reason. Why didn't he know? It's not because James Carville is stupid, It's because he's lazy. He's old. He's an old man. He's done all the leg worker his whole life. Now he's got a bunch of interns doing the work for him, and they're just feeding him with confirming not only their bias, but his bias because they want to impress their boss. So he got lazy and he paid the price for it. The difference between James Carvill and the rest of the Democrat Party is he's smart enough to learn even at his age. They're not. All right, Let's move on. Number nine. CNN thinks America is a democracy. There's a lot of criticisms of Trump, that he is bad for democracy, that he's for American democracy. We are a republic, a republican, We're not a democracy. I've heard a lot of conspiracy theories. I hear a lot of things out on the road, But to hear Americans, people who would describe themselves as patriots say that America is not a democracy, that stopped me in my tracks. You are hearing people say America is not a democracy because there are people around Trump who want them to be saying that, who've been planting that narrative. Amazing these This was from CNN. This club was from CNN to supposedly informed reporters, one of them clearly Irish, so not even American, covetching over the idea that Trump supporters believe America is not a democracy. It's no wonder that these people have ratings in the tanks. They're idiots. What did I just tell you? Like, stupidity does play a role here, It's not all just just blatant lying. These people aren't necessarily evil liars. They're stupid. And that's what makes this so gross and so offensive what we've been through. These are the people who've been telling us that they're better than us for four years and they don't even know that America is not a democracy. Again laziness, because there's no way that those two So you heard this, gentleman, This Irish reporter was interviewing two Trump supporters. Now in the video they have Trump gearon. They're clearly maga. You know clearly now you've heard it cut off when they said it's not a democracy, and it cut off you. And I know, without a shadow of a doubt, I would bet every penny in my savings account that what followed that statement was we are a republic, right and you'll notice CNN cut that off. Why that reporter definitely heard those people say we are a republic. There's no way he didn't hear that from them, and yet he chose to clip that. Now, his interns or the his producers, his gen Z producers were like, this, this is what we want. This is a section we want. They took it to that other reporter lady who probably wasn't there and didn't care to view the whole clip because she doesn't do research, and she believed it. Obviously, this is what Trump is telling people. No, honey, the Constitution tells us we're a republic, not a democracy. But this is what we're up against. These are the people who told you that going outside in the sunshine was dangerous for your health and taking an experimental vaccine was the only thing that would save you. These are the people that told you standing six feet from the person in front of you would keep you, say, from a virus. These are the people who told you to let your grandmother die alone, confused and isolated in her nursing home, lest you kill her with COVID. Part of my transformation that I'm making this year is on what I think grace is and what I think grace looks like. And I think we are moving out of the persuasion phase of grace and moving into the boundaries phase of grace. And I think we're gonna have to meet out some discipline here because these people almost killed us, and they would have had we given them the chance. So we need to make it so they don't have that chance again for a long long time. They will because this is just the human cycle, people, right, Let's keep it moving. Number eight, Beyonce is performing at the d NC. There are rumors, there are rumors that Beyonce might make an appearance. I personally think that that's true. Is the Unia Center going to be turning into the Beehive tonight? The behind is buzzing right now because the preparation for the Beehive, it has to start her all lg Ja Donor confirmed to. Me that she's also hearing that Beyonce is in root. Beyonce, I mean it's going to show up, you mean. Bay, I'm breaking Beyonce. News and Beyonce. This is my favorite. This is my favorite mortifying media moment. Or I would put this on one of the biggest lives of twenty twenty four list. Would I would put it on that kind of list. The Beyonce I wrote an article over on my substack and if you don't subscribe, just go hit that subscribe button over on substack. I wrote at the time, I wrote an article called the Beyonce Campaign, and I thought that this moment in media was really indicative of the entire Kamala Harris campaign. I felt like it really encompassed the whole vibe. It was fake from the start. The entire campaign was astro turf. The entire campaign was based on a lie, and the entire campaign was an empty promise. And that's what the Beyonce promise was that you know they were going in the end, they were going with the Beyonce lie. Don't think that the DNC staffers knew what they were doing. They knew they were planting that lie. They were letting the media go with that media right all the media. Gail Kings sitting there going I personally believe it. Why did she believe it? Because Gail King made a phone call to her contacts inside the DNC and said, Hey, is Beyonce showing up? And at the very least they did nothing to dispel her suspicions. Why because nobody was watching the DNC, because everybody hated them, and no one understood what was going on. Everyone was confused. Half the there was a huge bat the Biden battle was just simmering down. Biden had dropped the bombshell of endorsing Kamela when that was not what they wanted. It was a mess. It was a mess. They were in chaos, and they knew no one was watching and no one cared about Kamala, and they needed to get eyes on that conference because Trump had come out and the Republicans had come out and just blown the campaign circuit out of the water with the RNC freaking whole, Cogan ripping his shirt off, and they needed the eyes. Well, who's the biggest star in the world besides Taylor Swift, It's Beyonce. How do you get your base, especially your black voters, especially, how do you get them out really tell them Beyonce's going to show up. So there's this rumor floating around, nobody needs, nobody can converm it, and everyone's just there to see her. And then in the end it was just a big They just pulled the rug out from under the people there. It was a big lie just to get people to stick around, the big lie, just to get your vote. And it's kind of funny because once the people realized that Beyonce wasn't shown up showing up. I don't know if you can even find this video anymore, but the live stream you could see people just filing out, and CaMLA hadn't even come out yet. People were filing out, and the presidential candidate had not come out yet. So the Beyonce story is funny, but it's also very poignant because I believe it is a perfect representation of what was happening, of what that entire campaign was, which was a total lie based on fake phony, filtered glitz and glamour, and then you know the ensuing a collapse of the celebrity endorsement. The campaign was based on nothing. It was cotton candy. It was it was worse kind of cotton candy. It was cotton candy. And when you get to the core of the cotton candy, there's just like a stick of broccoli on the inside. They started out all joy, Oh, this is the Joy campaign, and they turned into the most miserable creatures on the planet, and it only got worse every day. Let's keep it moving. Number seven, The media tries to scare people about Project twenty twenty five. The far right manifesto puts forth sealing the border, and it seeks to do so with military force. It aims to use every lever of government to find, detain, and deport undocumented people. Take funding and housing away from. People who are just associated with undocumented him quote deny loan assistance to those who are not US citizens, are lawful permanent residents. Project twenty twenty five, but scary music in here. Next Halloween, I'm going to go as Project twenty twenty five. Actually, I think I'm gonna do that. It's one of those things that's it was one of those stories, those talking points that is such a it's so representative of the division in America that our division is just based on absurdities that are fed to us by enemies, by our enemies, really by our enemies in the media and the Democrat Party. They want us to hate each other. In the Project twenty twenty five. Trump had so much going for him this campaign, and Kamala Harrison took thirty days even being the vice president for four years, took her thirty days to even put anything policy related on her platform on her website, and so they needed something. Right, Trump's a Nazi is not good enough. It wasn't that they just wore that out. They wore it out. So they needed something, and somebody went and plucked Project twenty twenty five. And it's always good or in the past, has been a good idea to have a talking point, something to nail to your opponent. So I understand the logic behind it to use that term loosely, but it was it was such a huge mistake and base again, this is the problem. They're listening to their gen Z interns. Go back and listen to Carvils rant on this. Why are you listening to any of these little snot nosed kids. They know nothing, They have zero life experience. They don't even deserve to have their to be called by their names. That's like what carpl was saying. But that's what they're doing. They're placing all of this in the hands of these gen Zers and that they have a cartoonish view of what conservatives are. So they sell this Project twenty twenty five as the second coming of Hitler, and no conservative knows what it is because it's not really a thing. It was just some think tank white paper from Heritage, from the Heritage Foundations. There's a bunch of freaking nerds over there. They're not Hitler's, they're not taking over the world. So a nobody could understand it, and b it turned out to be to their detriment that no conservative could really even respond to it. You know, it's one thing, you know, when you say, when you're explaining, you're losing, and conservatives are terrible at that. We're always explaining ourselves when we should just be going, I don't care if you know, if you believe it's true or not, it just is. Sometimes you need to explain, right, we do a lot of that on this show. Oh sometimes you need to persuade, but sometimes when you're explaining, you're losing, and we do that a lot. But conservatives couldn't even explain Project twenty twenty five because we didn't know what it was, because it wasn't even a thing. So all we did was make fun of it. Absolutely backfired on them, absolutely, and now it's just a punchline like the entire Harris campaign. What's next? Number six Media tries to hype up the amount of misinformation on X. After Elon Musk took over in twenty twenty two, most of its fact checkers were fired. Now the site is rife with trash talk and lies. Little would you know that this said to be footage from Gaza is really from a video game. Eventually X users added a warning label these are AI generated images of Well, see for yourself. Did your research find that there was more misinformation spread by conservatives? Absolutely? X has turned into a haven for the spread of misinformation. Since buying the site almost two years ago, Musk's site has struggled to control it on topics ranging from the election to the assassination attempt against Trump. Elon Musk has struggled to control it. These people tell on themselves. See they view they view everything through the lens of what can be controlled, and they think social media needs to be controlled because your ideas need to be controlled. And that's why they hate what Elon's done with X. You know in that report that they in that clip, it was Leslie Stall interviewing some non binary fact hashtag fact checker who conveniently found that most of the misinformations from the conservative side were running down a list of mediaized that that's what her incredible fact checking found out. The misinformation, most of it come from the coming from the right. But then they talked about how look at this video on acts, you'd think they said it was a train in Gaza, but it's just from some other thing. It's a lie. And then she said eventually readers corrected that, and she just glossed over that like that was nothing, Like that was for nothing, Leslie, that was the fact checker. What you just glossed over was the fact checker. You went to some weirdo, random lady who can't possibly know all of the things in the world, and you took her word over a crowdsource fact checking program. Right, they got fact checked. That is what's amazing. It wasn't. But what is offensive to Leslie and people like the non binary fact checker. What's offensive to them is that that could even be seen. They don't even want you to see things that might be untrue or wrong because a you might believe what they don't want you to believe, but also you might correct it, and you're not the ones that are allowed to be correcting things. They're the ones that correct things not you. These people are ridiculous and we dodged a bullet literally on July thirteenth and figuratively by defeating these people. And like I said, we need to put down this movement and make sure it's got to work hard for a long time to come back. These people were going to end us. They were. Next number five. Tim Watts is the best. JD Vance is the worst. Midwestern dad like super clean cut vibe everybody. Likes right, so plain spoken and relatable. Pretty moderate Democrats, very moderate. Ragor the new moderate is right down the middle. He's not just an old white man's America, you know. Hawks like a regular person is. The opposite of weird populist approach to fear on the Republican side and the happy populism that Tim. Walls is on the ticket on the Democratic side. Happy warriors, happy. Warriors, even certainly the happy warrior that night. Happy warrior, folksy backstory. In sense of humor, we're at happy the pig looks good and jd Vance is weird, extreme and angry utter humorlessness. Try to believe that jd Vance could be any more extreme. It's like a freak show of bros. Dark and ugly, beneath the dignity of most politicians. JV Vance JD is at the far. Extreme, the most extreme, be one of the most extreme. Angry and mean and dark. This guy's really weird, y'all. This this guy's really weird again. This kind of goes back to my Beyonce campaign. It's just all just rumors in you wendovers say things, whisper things, and hopefully people will believe it. If we say that Tim Walls is a normal coach and a joyful, happy warrior. If we say that enough, you'll believe it. You won't pay attention to how freaking weird he is every time he comes out on a stage. If you say it enough, it's true. And then we call JD Vance weird. And it was opposite, like they worked so hard to paint JD Vance as weird, and every time we saw Kamela and Tim Walls, they were the weirdest doing the weirdest things, and they looked weird and they sounded weird, and it was almost like me things the Lady Dult were tests too much. They just use the word weird so much. It just seems so workshopped and focus grouped and marketed fake fake fake fake, fake fake from beginning to end. I told you guys the story, and I think it's I think it really is a really poignant story. Puts a pin in exactly what happened, exactly what happened. Towards the end of the campaign, as Trump and Fance started hitting the alternate media circuit more and we watched the Ja d Vance debate, the Van's Walls debate. I've already almost forgot about that guy, Tim Wall's debate. I had it on obviously. My seventeen year old daughter was not interested in sitting down and watching it with me, but she came in the room for a couple of minutes as she was getting ready to leave to go do something more fun. And she, in that two minutes said she sat down and saw jd Vance talking. As she got up to leave, it said, wait, tell me what you thought of what you just saw. Give me your opinion, your fresh opinion. She said, well, I didn't see much. I said, that's fine, Just tell me what you saw in that couple And she said, well, I guess I don't really know much about what they're talking about or what's going on, but I guess the one thing that I does make me think is like jd. Vance doesn't seem nearly as weird as they make him seem on TikTok. I thought that that blew my mind. I was like, that was when I knew they won. I think, if I'm going back, I think, if i'm you know, hindsight's twenty twenty, so I think, if I'm going back and looking at the moments that made me think, yeah, they're gonna win. I think that was one because it made me realize that's what people are seeing. And then when Trump did Rogan and Kamala didn't, there were a lot like New York Times, the liberal outlets, Washington Post. They were interviewing people. There were a lot of particularly young men, who said, well, I saw Trump on Rogan or I saw him on THEO Vaughn, and he wasn't that weird. Maybe the news made it seem like he was so weird, and my body sounded kind of funny. And then I was waiting. One guy said I loved this. I think he was talking to the New York Post and he said, I was waiting for I'm a Democrat. He was black, he was a young Man. So I'm a Democrat and I was waiting for a camera to go on Joe Rogan because I thought, Okay, everyone's talking about how she's not specific, she doesn't have policy platforms, she doesn't know what she's talking about. So I thought, well, I'll wait for her to go on here, and you know, she'll clarify it and she'll show everybody, and then I'll feel confident about my vote. And she didn't go. And then I saw her on Charlemagne on the Breakfast Club. I thinking the same thing, and she didn't say anything, and I thought, I can't vote for her. I don't even know what she thinks. I don't think that young man was alone at all. So it's just they just living up upside down world. All right, this is fun. Let's see what's coming up next. Here we go Number four. Very very bad things will happen if Trump wins. Think about what happens. If all of our access to healthcare goes away next Tuesday. The stakes literally are life and death for every woman in America. I'm just laughing because she's so so sad. Exaggeration prop will fulfill his promise to be a dictator on day one. That's up a network of camps, extraordinarily erratic foreign policy in the Middle East. Being profound and possibly permanent damage to American democracy. If historians in the future are allowed to write books, and by the way, that question is opened this morning, and if people are allowed to go on television and say what they think in the future, which again that question is opened this morning. That's what happens when strong men come to power. That happened in Italy in the nineteen twenties and nineteen thirties, Germany and the nineteen thirties. Suspend the constitution, fit the Justice Department, the Defense Department against political enemies, and run this country out of the White House. He literally just described what the Democrats were doing. These people, all they're doing from this point forward. All you have to do is this, send jail tylisteners. I know you're already there because we talk about all the time, and you guys are informed. Well, just treat everything they say as projection. Whatever they accuse Republicans and Conservatives and Donald Trump specifically of doing, is what they were doing or wanted to do. So when you hear that guy say suspending the constitution, suspending the rule of law camps. That's what they want. Oh, we might not be able to write history books, we might not be able to come on TV and say the things we want to say. That's what they want, and that's why they're scared that Republicans are going to do it, because they think we're like them, and thankfully for them, they ain't like us. What's next? Number three? Joe Biden would never pardon his son because he is such a great guy. Presidential promise to put the law before a family. The president has ruled out pardoning his son. Pludging not to pardon his son. Just sit there and say, well, I'm not going to intervene in the legal process, and I wouldn't pardon my son. Democrats and Joe Biden protecting the justice system. A current president of the United States has. So much respect for the law that he has said he would not pardon his son. And Joe Biden has very clearly said he would not pardon his son, he would not commun his sentence. How can Republicans cheat making this argument now that, now that Joe Biden has really put it out there, he. Is not doing it because he is living what it means to have a rule of law in this country, and that is it is. I mean, if you want to know if he believes it, you could actually see what is happening with his own son. Even President Biden saying in a statement that he would respect the outcome of this case. This was a good day for the system, good day for sort of of sort of America as an example of. How the rule of law should work. We're coming on the air of this Hour with breaking news. President Biden has just pardoned his son Hunter. More than any of these other stories, I think this story is the one that I think this is the one that that had that is shifting the loyalties of Democrats the most, this one, this one. There's all there's other stories where we're going on the media obviously lied, that's so gross, it's so weird, But this story in particular, I think has the most How should I say this is subtle consequences or hidden consequences, because I do believe that this story has turned a lot of formerly uh loyal Democrats off from their party, but they're not saying it normal people, not just people in the media now and a lot of people in the media too though since then, you've heard you heard Chuck Todd at the end there. He has since come out and said he feels like a fool, and he should. They should all feel like fools. But see it as a cult. You understand the left, the progressive left, as a cult, then you understand their gods and they're worship they worship politicians. I remember I have a good friend. She may be listening. Karen, my former college acting professor. Lover her so much. She's been one of the most influential people in my life. She's liberal but Christian, and yes, you can be both everybody, because you can be a Christian and be wrong. But during the election in twenty twenty, I remember her posting, Joe Biden went and did this. She posted a picture of Biden hugging somebody. She said, this is what Biden looks like because he's a good man. He's going to win this election, because Joe Biden is a good man. And I remember thinking like, she's old enough to be my mother. And I remember thinking like, how could someone be so naive? But how could you look at any politician and say, well, this is a good person. Don't you have any idea, like even a vague idea of the things that politicians have to do to get to the top. And why do you think that you don't know him. I can understand if you say he's a good politician, or I like his policies, or he's done good work for XYZ, but to say he's a good man, and by the way, there's no proof of that. There's plenty of proof that he's a terrible man, much proof And maybe look at the Hunter Biden laptop for more on that. I will not turn your stomach with some of the details. Suffice to say, if you have not done the work of learning why the laptop was so important and exactly what it was on there, you should do it and it might change your mind about how good of a man Joe Biden was. But this didn't change my opinion of my friend Karen and love her and again one of the most influential people in my lives, in my life. But I just remember thinking, like, how can you think that this man, How can you say this is a good man you don't know him. But when politics become your god, then that's how you start judging the players in politics. And you know, I felt like it was a bit cultish to say You're never gonna hear me say you can go back and look anywhere. You're never gonna hear me say that there's some infallible, great perfect politician out there. I've met some politicians who are decent people. I haven't met a single one I haven't met, and I have met many, like the famous ones, the ones you know. I haven't met a single one that doesn't have something about them that would turn you off from them. Whoever you are, wherever you are, every one of them has something going on in their lives. I've seen them. I've seen prostitutes married politicians with prostitutes. I've seen underhanded deals, I've seen all kinds of shady behavior from people that you think are good people. None of them are good, and that's not what you should be voting for anyway. That's a whole different episode, isn't it. But that's what this is. This is just such cultish behavior. And of course they know they're wrong. And I think I've done a couple of I told you so on my personal Facebook page, but for the most part, I haven't done anything. Everyone's quiet. That's the other thing. My liberal friends and family are quiet about it, and that tells me that they're thinking about it. They don't need to hear the I told you sos. These people are peeling off all in their own and at the end of the day, I think this might be Biden's greatest legacy, turning off his own voters from the Democrat Party because that was the lie. They don't care about the crime. They don't care that they've lied about the crime, and the migrants and the murder and the rapes. They don't care that they're lying to your face. But the economy and the border in Venezuelan, gangs in Aurora, Colorado, they don't care about that. What they care about is that they look stupid to you. What they care about is that they're the ones that look foolish. So of course this is the thing that's ripping off the mask for them and making them go, oh my gosh, maybe we weren't Like At what point do they look at themselves and goes, maybe we're the problem here. I don't know. At no point, you'd have to have some modicum of self awareness. All right, Top two, Here we go, Number two. Number two. Media gets caught editing interviews to help Kamala Harris. When we talk about bringing down it's camelat making life. More affordable for people, what are two specific things you have in. Mind for that. Well, I'll start with this. I grew up a middle class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard. She was able to finally save up enough money to buy our first house when I was a teenager. I grew up in a community of hardworking people, you know, construction workers and nurses and teachers. And I try to explain to some people who may not have had the same experience. You know, a lot of people will relate to this. You know, I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who are very proud of their lawn. When we talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people, are one or two specific things you have in mind for that. So when I talk about building an opportunity economy, it is very much with the mind of investing in the ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people. But it seems that Prime Minister Netan Yah who is not listening. Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that we're very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region. But it seems that Prime Minister Netan Yah who is not listening. We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war. Dan. So what you heard there is can hear them? They played the original or what was aired? They played the original and then they played what was aired and they selectively edited that, and that is just Yes, you edit for TV, but you do not edit an interview with the presidential candidate, and certainly not the vice president of the United States. I don't know how much else there was to say about this, except this is just yet another example of the egregious bias of the mainstream media. And this is why they have lost all credibility because even if Americans don't understand what it means to edit a video, I mean maybe if they don't even understand that they saw edited video, we all have the sense that we're not getting this person. We all have the sense that what we're seeing is not real. And you can't edit that kind of idiot. See, I mean, my god, what did she say? Thank God, I cannot to never hear from this woman again. Absolute torture. What did she say? Nothing? Nothing? And that is lying, right because those interviewers, they're sitting there right in her face, and they can see that she's an idiot. They are those people are lying. Charlottmagne, the god from the Breakfast clusband out there. You know, I feel for this young man. He's not young man, he's my age, but he looks young because black don't crack. But I feel for this man because I know where he is. I know what his political alignment needs to be. And he's also pro black, you know, he's he's for the communities. He's out there fighting for, you know, answers for our community. And he's a liberal and he's a default Democrat voter. But he is smart and he is watching all of this stuff unfold in front of him, and he's actually talking to these people on all sides and he's going wait, wait, wait, wait, none of this is lining up, and so what does he do. He can't abandon his fan base, right, but common sense is pulling him to the center. So he's out there. We're all goaling to hold the line on left wing politics while being the reasonable person on say shows like The View and The Thing. The reason why Charlemagne can't he's struggling to hold this lie is because he did get face to face with her. He has been face to face with Biden and he's seen up close how absolutely vacant they are, and he can't square it and he doesn't want to be a liar. That's what happens when you see I called this, y'all go back and listen to my back catalog. I don't even know what show it's on, but you should be listening to the back catalog anyway, Benja. Years ago, I had called this years ago when Kamala was running for president, and I told you about a video. Remember Maxine Waters was having her moment, She had a weird moment in public, and suddenly for five minutes she was a media darling, a social media darling, because she went out there and told people to go out there and get in people's faces and fight Trump and hashtag resist. Maxine Waters is crazy. She's crazy as a three dollar bill. Just look at her wig. It don't ever fit right when you see a woman in a bad fitting wig, that's a crazy woman. Because every woman knows how to make her hair look good. Every sane woman cares about her hair. Your hair is very important as a woman. If you see a woman in a bad wig, she is crazy. Maxine Waters is crazy. So anyways, they went to the Black Women Men's Expo. Every It's a huge, huge, huge, huge event happens every year in New Orleans. And they went there Oprah's are It's it's a big, big deal. And so they had Kamala and Maxine on stage, and I'm watching the moderators. These are professional, you know, professional women, career women, black women. They're so happy to have this supposedly black presidential campaign woman person on there and Maxine Waters. And as the interview is going on, you watch their faces. You watch the faces of these women and slowly start to fall as they realized that they are engaged with two of the dumbest women they have probably ever met. They don't know what questions to ask because every question gets an idiot answer. I mean, it's happening in real time. You can see it. And I said, then, I said, there's nothing there with Kamala. Of course, I knew that because she's from California and we've been dealing with her for years. But I'm like, look, everybody else is finding out that there's nothing there. And then it was a couple of weeks later that her campaign crashed and burned. So I've been saying this for years, everybody, there's no there there. She's a complete moron, and I think that that's obvious to people in the media when they interview her. That's why her staff couldn't let her do a Joe Rogan interview. She can you imagine it? Can you imagine her going toe to toe for three hours with anybody on anything about anything. She can't talk. She can't even talk about her personal life because she's barely a real person. And I mean that, I'm not trying to be mean. I wrote an article about that on my page two. You want to know why she's always using fake accents. It's not on purpose. It's because she doesn't know who she is. All she has by way of personality is the ability to mirror the person in front of her. Most politicians are like that, actually, and it's a trait that you need to be a good politician. I believe just stunning that these people still though, they still believe they're the smartest people in the room, and they believe they're smarter than you. All Right, what's the number one media lie? What do you think it is? Think about it right now in your the number one mortifying media moment Media Live twenty twenty four. Hold that in your head. Think I'm going to give you like a couple of seconds to think about. If you could guess what number one on this clip is, what would it be? I did guess correctly, and I think you did too. Let's go for it. Number one, number one. There's no cognitive decline. In fact, Biden has never been better. Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell you the truth. This version of Biden is the best Biden. Ever you knows so long as he was nine. In fact, I think he's better than he's ever been. He is sharp, intensely probing, and detail oriented and focused. President Biden has a photographic memory, but he's totally focused. He's very sharp, they say he's sharpened meetings and so on, very lucid, well, very well informed. He's older, that doesn't mean that he is unfit. He can clear a dementia bar and that's probably a win more wild speculation from a bunch of people who have probably never been in the room with Joe Biden and certainly don't have medical degrees that I'm aware of. But a huge part of the Maula report talks about Russian disinformation tactics, and one of the themes this election cycle is that Joe Biden is too old to lead, and so everyone is seizing upon this, and it is a classic disinformation tactic. A classic disinformation tactic that Joe Biden is sharp as attack folks. I think at the end of the day, the story of the twenty twenty four election will be that the media lost it. And it's sort of if you think about it. I do believe the media lost it. They did everything wrong. They lied so hard, they got so comfortable with their ability to lie and get away with it that they really did believe that Americans would just believe everything and anything. It turns out we don't. We won't. It turns out that eventually we will believe our own eyes. It turns out. But it's ironic because in twenty sixteen, so the reason we shifted into this heavy censorship era was that in twenty sixteen, the media didn't believe. And when I say the media, obviously I mean legacy media. They didn't believe Trump was gonna win. They thought he was a joke. They treated him like a joke. Back then, he was on all the late night shows, He did all of the media and press stuff. They loved him. He was great for ratings. Obviously still is, that's never changed. But they loved him. They could, they loved talking about him, they loved having him on the shows. Then he won, and they didn't expect it because they're dumb, and they blamed themselves. You might not remember this because so much else has happened since then, but in twenty sixteen, they blamed themselves for his victory. That's how highly they think of themselves. And they believed that it was because they gave him too much airtime. If they hadn't have given him so much free publicity and free airtime, that he wouldn't have won, you know, home. They believed it was their fault. And so they thought, well, now we've got to make sure that he can't be covered, he can't be seen, he can't be heard. We're not going to play as direct comments. We're going to put everything in context for you, you idiot Americans. And so this time around, they did. They really did lose it. They really were responsible for it, but not for the reason they thought, but because they were so bold and bald faced in their lives that it truly was a bridge too far for America and there was no other cho then. Even my seventeen year old daughter, who knows nothing about politics and does not pay attention to anything, could see one minute of JD Vance and go, oh, that guy's not weird, and that's what America did. Oh wait, these guys aren't weird. You guys are the weird ones. I mean, you guys are the ones telling me that my daughter can be a boy if she has her body mutilated. That seems weird. That's weird. You are the ones that are telling me that we live in the best economy ever and my son will never be able to own a home in his home state, and everyone's living paycheck to paycheck and gases through the roof. That's weird. The media did it to themselves, and that really is the story of twenty twenty four. I thank you to Gravy and for this clip. List that was so fun. Tell me what your favorite media.

It's the best way by just give me a gift on substack. It helps me so much. You know, MoMA's got to eat too, And this game's a hustle. You know, I don't work for a corporation. I work for you, So I appreciate your support. I appreciate the way you've supported the show through all my inconsistencies over the last year. I've always received so many positive messages from you guys. Always, always, you get a few haters. I don't read the haters very much. I don't believe in focusing on them, and I kind of think that's clickbaity. Sometimes sometimes if they amuse me, I'll share them, But I read all of your encouragement. And one of the things that I have been so blessed by doing this show is that as I have shared elements of my stories over the years, you in turn have shared yours. And we're not afraid to be dorky with each other, in corny with each other, you know, to say the things that might make us sound weak to others or in other contexts. We've been able to say those things to each other on this show, and it's one thing I pride myself on and being that safe place for people people to say the weird things and say the vulnerable things so that we can hash out those ideas. Because if you can't say those weird and maybe even stupid things out loud, then how can you fix those ideas. How can you round out those ideas? How can you become a better thinker? That's what we've all got to move towards. We've all got to be better thinkers about all aspects of our lives. I've learned since I got sober this last year. One of the things I've learned. Maybe I should do a show on it, because I've learned so much. But one of the things I've learned is how to be a better thinker, and that my mind is we talk a lot about our souls and our spirit and Christianity, but we do not spend a lot of time talking about our brains and our minds and what happens in there and what they are. I'm going to have a guest on next year. Next year. I'm really excited. I ran across them totally by accident. He was one of the guests that the producer's booked for me on Stacy Washington Show. I feel in for her over and serious, Stacy on the right and can look around bout Twitter. Stacy on the right, no E for Stacy, And he talked a lot about the mind. He wrote a book about the mind. What is the mind? Exactly? I want to delve into that. We don't talk a lot about that in the Christian space. I know I'm in the political space, but I am a Christian, so all the spaces are Christ's spaces, if you ask me, I want to talk about that and what it means to be a clear thinker, and why that's an important tool, why it's an important weapon as we move forward and reshape America. I'm looking forward to twenty twenty five. I'm looking forward to closing the door. In twenty twenty four. It was a well to just put it, frankly, a shit here. But today, almost in this very moment, I think it's the first time I've allowed myself to feel hopeful for twenty twenty five, and I do. I'm hopeful for it, and I'm excited where this show is going to go. Like I said, I've got some plans, and I've been chatting with Darvo and darve O. Y'all, Darvo's out there making some moves. You don't even know how he's working out there. That guy never stops. That is my brother, That is my family, Dario. I want to say to you, you're editing this show, I want to say to you that it has been my privilege to get to know your family and be a part of your family. We lost your dad this year, and I know that's rough, and it's going to continue to be rough. But honestly, that's the sign of a good dad. If you're sad that he's gone, that's the sign of a good dad. So I don't know why I said that. Blessings to you, my brother. I'm so happy that we're family, and I'm so glad to know you always have my back. It's just in this business is invaluable. I'd rather have a thousand. I'd rather have one Darvio than a thousand big name producers. Because people are fickle, and when you find people who are gonna ride or die with you, you hang on to those people. That's one thing I'm learning at fifty. You find those people and you do not let them go. All right, Well, I hope you find your ride our eyes out there in twenty twenty five, if you haven't found them already, I I'd like to be one of yours. I'm not done yet. We've got a lot more to talk about in twenty twenty five, and I'm really looking forward to it. Thank you so much for everything you've done to support this show, support my voice. God bless you. In twenty twenty five, God bless America. Daddy's Home. We're back, Happy New Year. Our prayers all masda ta that we won't with say and then we won't to say, oh we got it? Does no one get dictato? And it is gonna be okay? Our prayers all so that we won't with say. Then we won't to say, oh we got it? Does no one take that away.
