Time Text
It's the heart of the nation's capital.
Not really entirely sure the nation's capital has a heart.
It has some other body parts.
Some of which are inflicted upon us fairly regularly.
But heart may not be at the top of the lists.
I am Chris Plant.
I do my radio show ordinarily, Monday through Friday night afternoon out of WMAL in Washington, D.C. I've lived in Washington for far too long now, I think.
I've lived there for longer than I've lived everybody else, but I am originally from the United States of America and uh raised primarily on the north shore of uh sunny Chicago along the shores of uh Lake Michigan.
A little bit of New York when I was a small child, and and a little bit of Milwaukee when I was a small child.
And I lived in California for seven years.
I lived in Kansas City for six months, and then somehow uh you know the Cadillac got uh stuck in the ditch in uh Washington, DC, and here I am all these years later.
But having a good time, and uh as was mentioned in the in the generous lead in there, uh a veteran journalist I was with CNN of all places for for seventeen years, where I had a grand old time and uh I'll try to clean it up, um, was able to go on the All the World's Hellholes tour for a bunch of years as uh a first producer and then correspondent covering military matters and intelligence matters for uh for CNN and uh having a grand old time getting
uh getting to do all kinds of great uh boy stuff.
You cover the Pentagon for a news organization and you get to do all kinds of great stuff.
You get to fly fighter jets, and I drove the USS Enterprise, the aircraft carrier, and uh spent several days on a nuclear attack submarine in Los Angeles class at Texas, which I also drove.
I've driven a lot of I don't have a license to drive a submarine or an F-16, but I I got to fly an F sixteen, F-18, A6 intruder off the deck of the Enterprise three times.
Good boy stuff, fall out of airplanes with the army with the golden knights a couple of times and uh good good fun.
Good fun stuff.
And you do some news in the meantime, and uh that's back when CNN wasn't quite the way it is now.
I we have uh Jeffrey Lord joining us this hour, and there's one story I just want to want to uh sort of uh slip in uh here.
The Columbus Dispatch, Green Party presidential candidate, you know Jill Stein, everybody knows Jill Stein, she's got two percent of the vote.
Did you see the poll a couple of weeks ago?
They did the poll and they included Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, who got two percent of the vote, and uh Gary Johnson, who got seven percent of the voters.
And then they swapped out Gary Johnson and Jill Stein with other things, and and they swapped out Jill Stein with Harambe, the dead gorilla.
Remember Harambe the dead gorilla from the enclosure?
And Harambe the dead gorilla also got two percentage points.
Got the same got the same as that had to hurt a little bit, didn't it?
I'm thinking Harambe Harambe's dead, and and uh and when he was living he was a gorilla.
And you'd vote for him as much as you'd vote for me.
Yes, Jill, that's that's exactly the case.
And here's one reason why the Columbus Dispatch.
Green Party presidential candidates, Capitol University speech delayed after she flies to wrong city.
Oh, that can't be good.
See, if you have Air Force One, if you're they always fly to the right city.
Air Force One rarely lands lands in the wrong city.
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein was scheduled to speak at Capitol University in Bexley at noon, but it looks like she's running a little late.
That's because instead of flying to Columbus, she accidentally flew to Cincinnati instead, according to the Capitol University Greens student organization who are sponsoring the event.
Yes, you heard that correctly.
And listen to this.
About one hundred people were waiting at Shaff Lawn on campus.
It's unclear if they're all hang around, all one hundred of them.
It's unclear if they will all hang around.
There are a hundred people waiting in line for a hot dog down on the on the corner here at the intersection.
She's drumming up those big crowds.
It's unclear if uh if they're all going to wait around while Stein drives up from Cincinnati, but pizzas are being ordered to thank the people for their patience.
I hope they're green pizzas.
No meat, they're gotta be vegan pizzas, right?
Gotta have uh vegan.
It's all uh meat free and all that kind of stuff.
It's also unclear how and why she flew to the wrong airport.
Aaron Suarez, who's president of the Capitol University Greens student organization and a sophomore political science major from Marion said they just got on the road and they will be two hours late.
Things happen.
I assume they cropped off man, where he said man.
And then he took a hit from his vape and uh went back.
Where's the pizza?
He's a green.
He's a green guy.
All right, and with that, let's uh let's go to uh let's go to Jeffrey Lord, who is uh, I believe, I hope, hanging on the line.
And uh Jeffrey Lord, a remarkable career, going all kinds of places, working on the administration of President Ronald Reagan, thank you very much, the president, the greatest president of my lifetime, certainly, and a uh journalist, an author, now an analyst for CNN, the cable news network, my alma mater.
And uh uh Jeffrey Lord, thanks for being with us.
Hello, Chris, it's good to be here.
Thanks for having me.
You bet.
So uh tell me, we've been talking about Donald Trump and the the immigration, the illegal immigration uh evolutions.
Would you say that there have been evolutions?
Uh you know, uh I don't I just don't agree with that.
I mean, I think we're we're you know, all the media fascination with this gets off on the uh gets off the topic here.
I mean, he gave his speech the other day and he was pretty clear about what he'd do, which is sounds to me about what he always said he would do.
And uh I I I just I just think that we we know we get into semantics here.
I I think why I have a column at the American Spectator Today, as a matter of fact, comparing his trip to Mexico to uh Reagan's dealings with uh the the the Cold War.
And if you'll recall, Chris, and I know you do, um, that when Ronald Reagan took over, uh, you know, he was viewed as an extremist by even people like Gerald Ford.
And uh at his very first press conference, which was nine days after he was inaugurated, and Sam Donaldson stood up and asked him about his policies towards the Soviet Union, and he said to gasps in the room that they observe under themselves the right to lie and to cheat and that we have to be aware of this when we deal with them, and you know, th there was a gasp in the room, and that sort of set the tone.
But in fact, uh it was that kind of reality that that ended the Cold War, won the Cold War, etc.
He took the status quo and you know d you know, got rid of it.
And of course his strategy that's exactly what Donald Trump is about here is that we have been lulled into the status quo here with people streaming across this border, causing all kinds of chaos.
Uh yes, in fact there are crimes committed.
I mean, I and I I hear this constant refrain from people, oh well, there's more Americans, natural born Americans who commit crimes.
I mean, the point is there should be zero crime rate from illegal immigrants because they shouldn't be here.
Yeah.
Well, I would hope I would hope that uh indigenous Americans commit more crimes.
Um it'd be pretty extraordinary if the uh you know, ten, eleven, whatever the number of fifteen million people committed more crimes than the rest of the population in a nation of three hundred and twenty million people.
This kind of thing a little crazy.
But it's very clear that when he says that the immigration system is a mess and that it that we have it's in even worse shape than we thought, that he's correct.
And uh you know, at first all this focus was on illegal immigration, which by the way, as I repeatedly point out on CNN, America's the only country in the world in which one hundred percent of the population is descended from immigrants.
So he's hardly, including Donald Trump, he's hardly anti-immigrant, but illegal immigration is a whole nother topic.
And when we realize with uh what went on in in uh California with the the shootings by the uh Muslim couple and the woman who came into the country uh on a what do they call it, a K one visa fiance visa or whatever, and they didn't even check her out to see what was going on here, what could go wrong in San Bernardino?
Right, sure.
And they had no idea.
So so you realize that the actual regular immigration process is a mess.
And that's before you even get to the illegal immigration situation.
Right.
So it really you really almost have uh electric shock therapy here for a lot of elites in this country because it is so bad and they just they just sort of sit back and accept as the status quo.
Meanwhile, regular folks out there have had enough.
Well, and as I'm Fond of pointing out they would never be accepting of this level of illegal immigration and open borders if we were talking about France.
If we were talking about Canada.
If we were even talking about Mexico, they would defend Mexico's right to protect their southern border for the United States.
Can you imagine, Chris, if eleven million Americans illegally streamed across the Mexican border to settle in?
Right.
I mean, the Fjor would be unbelievable.
Well, this is another thing that amuses me that uh liberals, whenever we have uh every four years now at this point, uh people like Barbara Streisand and and those of her ilk threatened to move to Canada every time.
Have you ever noticed the fact that not a one of them has ever threatened to move to Mexico?
Yeah.
Very good point.
You know, why why why is that?
I guess it's uh simple case of racism.
They don't like brown people, they like Canadians and Eskimos.
And yeah, I mean it is it is uh I mean that gets off from the whole subject which which I have been saying for for years that the the Democratic Party is the party of race, that they began this way with making an alliance in eighteen hundred with Thomas Jefferson and slave owners, and it has continued all the way through the segregation years and uh lynching and and the founding of the Ku Klux Klan, which was their military arm, their terrorist arm.
You bet.
Uh all the way through to today when it's illegal immigration by skin color.
I mean, that's that's in essence what's really going on here, and uh everything is about race.
They are obsessed with it.
Yeah, I always ask them if Jefferson Davis was their favorite Democrat president.
See if they're a couple of things.
Somebody pointed out the other day that in two thousand eight, when Hillary ran for president, there were a group of people from Arkansas calling themselves the Arkansas Travelers, who who would go around America campaigning for Hillary, and they arrived in South Carolina and their button, which I've seen from two thousand eight that says Arkansas Travelers for Hillary, the background of it is the Confederate battle flag that is so controversial in South Carolina.
Right.
Well, that's you know, the all vestiges of the Democrat Party are being eliminated on college campuses and elsewhere with the tearing down of statues to Confederate generals, Democrat Nathan Bedford Forrest, this was one you mentioned the founding of the KKK.
He was an elected Democrat Nathan Bedford Forrest statewide, and also the KKK was created to terrorize freed blacks and the Republicans that freed them, and they lynched a lot of white Republicans, the KKK did, for their terrible deeds like the Thirteenth Amendment, the Fourteenth Amendment, the 15th Amendment, so which Democrats oppose.
You know, people say to me, Oh, well, they passed the the Democrats were responsible for the civil rights laws in the nineteen sixties, and I keep saying to them, why did we have to have those laws?
And the answer is that all that legislation was passed in the eighteen sixties and eighteen seventies, and the Democrats spent a hundred years uh, you know, trying to overturn it, get around it, uh, or or you know, put a halt to it.
I said, so it had to be redone in nineteen sixty-four.
But so please don't I mean this is like the the uh you know, the fireman who turns out to be the arsonist and arrives on scene to put out the fire and wants the credit.
That's uh that's exactly right.
And and uh also it was the Republicans on Capitol Hill that led the charge.
LBJ gets all the credit for it, and we all know what LBJ is.
Everett Dirksen.
And and Everett Dirksen was the Republican on Capitol Hill from Illinois, the senator leading the uh the charge for civil rights and voting rights, and the Democrats were the ones opposing.
Now they play this little two-step this sleight of hand that they they pretend gives them the get out of jail free card with they say the magic words southern strategy, and then they ha and they high-five each other and walk away like that means something, and it's just another fabrication, honestly, of the Democrat Party to get out of to airbrush their own history.
That's right.
And and and it's an absolute and my my point is that they they haven't walked away from this history.
I mean that that whether whether they were playing to all those uh Southern whites in in the you know, nineteenth century and most of the twentieth century, or whether they're playing to African Americans or Latinos, they make these pitches based on race.
That's what it is.
It's not about jobs and the economy and and uh colorblind arguments.
Everything is about all about race.
That's exactly what they are about.
Which is funding to do it.
Fundamentally anti-American.
We're talking to Jeffrey Lord, we're gonna take a quick break right here.
Can you stay with us for a couple of minutes, Jeffrey?
All right.
Well, we're gonna take a quick one and be right back with uh more from Jeffrey Lord.
We have returned.
Douglas MacArthur once said He said I, though, he didn't say we, he said I Philippines.
And today, by the way, is the seventy first anniversary of the surrender of the Japanese at the end of World War II on the deck of the USS Missouri, the fan tale of the USS Missouri.
Kind of an important event in uh in American history.
Good uh good stuff.
My father, who art in heaven was a Navy fighter pilot in WII, the big one.
And um uh all that good stuff.
But that's not important now, because we have Jeffrey Lord on the line, don't we?
And uh Jeffrey, I don't know if you I don't know if you saw this.
And I want to ask you about CNN also and how much fun it is there.
But you may have seen this a politico article today.
Clinton advisers tell her to prep for a landslide.
For a landslide.
They say displaying unchecked confidence.
The Democrats paid consultants see plenty of paths to the White House.
I I may maybe they're eating those some of those Colorado brownies.
Um but I'm looking at polls that uh have Donald Trump cutting her lead in half, you know, the real clear politics and uh average and and uh polls here in Pennsylvania that have her and and very much in a race within the margin of error uh in state after state after state.
I mean, I I think these people are smoking something because the this bears no reaction, no no um comparison to re it's it's not reality.
You know, when you talk about uh Jill Stein having a rally there in Columbus and there were a hundred people.
Yeah the other the other week Hillary Clinton was here in here, meaning uh Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, uh and the press accounts had her having a crowd of, and I'm quoting directly hundreds.
Yeah.
Uh I was at the Donald Trump rally, both of them here in the area, and one that was a few days after that Hillary Clinton rally.
I can only tell you it it filled the largest high school in the area.
Uh it had they had about four to five thousand people inside, and there were another five thousand people outside who who wanted to get in and couldn't get in.
This is what I call the enthusiasm gap.
I mean, I just think this is so evident.
Everywhere Trump goes, uh the these crowds are mammoth at the time he was here before that.
He filled what we call the farm show arena, which holds about ten thousand people.
W again with thousands outside trying to get in.
Hillary also spoke to the American American Legion the other day, and the rest of the news media didn't show it, but Fox News had a uh camera in the back of the room and showed a wide shot.
And the even in the front three, four rows, uh there were lots and lots of empty seats and uh smattering of applause, and I assume they put some friendlies in there uh because they're good at staging things like that.
She's not drawing people, she has no charisma, she's not likable.
Uh she's not uh she's not a good retail politician.
When you think of how close this is in these polls, and uh, you know, has been pointed out.
Trump hasn't really launched until now an advertising campaign.
I mean, this is all coming about because she she really is a weak candidate.
She's a terrible candidate.
But uh at the same time, there's I did see something this morning that disturbed me a little bit, and that is that in Florida, and you may have seen this story, the Hillary people have fifty-one offices up and operating in the state of Florida.
The Trump organization has one office in the state of Florida, which as you know is a key, I think we remember 2000, a key state for any president if you're going to win the presidency, and he doesn't have a lot of they call it the ground operation.
He doesn't have a lot of offices scattered in key states around the country.
Are we just relying on enthusiasm and people showing up at rallies?
No, I don't think so.
I I mean I I have I I know Kellyanne Conway a bit from over the years.
Uh I think she's terrific.
I think she really knows exactly what she's doing.
I know the person who is in charge of the campaign in Pennsylvania, and he too has a has a serious track record of winning uh state elections for candidates for the U.S. Senate and uh and other things.
So I have you know you know complete and total confidence in this.
And I I would remind uh that uh the same kind of thing was said about uh Jeb Bush.
You know, he had hundred million dollars plus in the in the bank and you know, had all these ads and all this big organization, and he was just gonna roll over everybody, and he wound up getting uh winning no primaries and getting three delegates.
Right.
Yeah, that's right.
What is that?
Fifty million dollars per delegate, I think is that.
Uh Jeffrey Lord, I mean in some ways I think she is uh you know the the the Democrats Jeb Bush.
Yeah, I I had wanted to ask you about CNN, but we've run out of time.
I appreciate your being here.
Uh and uh good luck on CNN between now and election.
Well, that's good.
I know it's a little bit of a tough environment having come from there myself.
But listen, I appreciate your being here, and uh we'll looking for you on the television.
Jeffrey Lord, thanks.
We're gonna take a quick break here.
I'm Chris Plant sitting in for Rush Limbaugh.
All right, who's been to North Korea?
Raise your hand.
No.
Have you been there?
No.
I know people that have been to North Korea.
I know a number of people, uh a bunch of people actually that have been to North Korea for a variety of reasons, mostly news people and government people, but on uh various missions.
There's a uh uh story out last night, and this is this is really one for the books, these guys, the the Hermit Empire, the Hermit Kingdom, the place is just nuttiest.
The headline is long missing U.S. student reportedly kidnapped in China in 2004, forced to tutor North Korean dictator.
Uh what's this?
David Sneddon.
David Sneddon is he related to you, Mr. Snerdley?
No.
No, I don't think so.
David Snedden, then a twenty-four-year-old Brigham Young University student, disappeared in August of 2004 while hiking in China's Yunnan province.
When Chinese police and the U.S. Embassy could not find him.
China sends Snedden likely fell to his death in Tiger Leaping Gorge, a theory that his parents did not believe plausible.
So Chinese uh police work, they it was a it was a closed case.
They closed the case.
He probably jumped into the gorge and sacrificed himself to the god of fire.
Something like that.
Snedden's family claims on a website devoted to the search for him that they believe Snedden was kidnapped by North Korea and is being held hostage there.
The claim appears to have stemmed from information gathered over the years and recent comments from Choi Sung Yong, head of South Korea's obductees family union.
See, they they kidnapped so many South Koreans that they have a union.
They unionized.
Goes on a lot, apparently.
On Wednesday, a Japanese news source reported that Sneddon was abde abducted by agents of the North Korean government and whisked away some two thousand five hundred miles from the Chinese province where he vanished.
Yahoo News Japan also reported that Sneddon became an English tutor to Kim Jong un, the dictatorial leader of North Korea, and is now believed to have a wife and two children.
Got a wife and kids in Pyongyang Mac went out for a walk and I never came back.
Kidnapping with benefits.
That's right.
It comes with all kinds of uh goodies.
Because North Korea is such a nice place to live.
The news outlet, which cited South Korean obductees family union for the information, said Sneddon lives in Pyongyang, where he teaches English.
Snedden's parents say they believe the son was taken by the North Korean regime for training purposes.
This is the Manchurian candidate English language version.
I'm not sure what uh because of his fluency in Korean, according to the Desarray News.
Snedden, who grew up in Nebraska, served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints in South Korea.
That's the uh Mormons.
And um uh the newspaper reported his mother Kathleen Snedden told the paper, report her son being in North Korea doesn't surprise me at all, she said.
We just knew in our heart that he was alive, so we had to keep fighting.
This is North Korea.
You can probably how many wives can you have in North Korea?
And there's uh another one.
He you saw that he had a uh uh minister executed the other day uh by firing squad.
A senior government official executed by firing squad, apparently because in a meeting he he started to slouch.
He was slouching.
His posture was not what it should be.
So they dragged him out of the place and they killed him by way of firing squad, which is not as bad as what he did.
What it was his uncle that he fed to the dogs.
Remember that I had all the high high command people come and watch uh so they could see what happens to people that are disloyal to Lil Kim.
When it goes on your permanent record all the way, they mean it.
It does go on your permanent record, and and everybody knows it.
And and it's uh this is this is rather a an unusual place, I'm happy to say.
But when you give uh radical hardcore left wing dictatorships free reign, this is kind of what you get.
Kim Jong un executes education minister for not sitting properly.
Boy, I mean again, I mentioned earlier I went to Catholic school, and the nuns, they could be pretty tough.
Mr. Macavogue too, he had a fraternity paddle and stuff, and you took him seriously, but North Korea is another level altogether.
Kim Jong-un executes education minister by firing squad for not sitting properly during a meeting.
What you skip right over the rap on the knuckles with a ruler and go right to the firing squad.
Kim Jong-un has executed a senior North Korean official by firing squad because he did not sit properly during a meeting.
They apparently don't have a lot of different names to choose from, I'm thinking.
Sixty-three years old was shot dead after his bad sitting posture in Parliament incurred the wrath of the North Korean dictator.
The slouching vice premier was interrogated and found to be an anti-revolutionary agitator.
That's what we're all going to be found to be if Hillary gets elected to before his execution in July, a South Korean official said.
Why would that be a problem?
And then that's hey, that's just he's he's harsh, but fair.
A little strict.
You know, it's kind of it's it's kind of strict.
I wonder if he went to Catholic school.
It might be the birthplace of all of this stuff.
I should go to a uh telephone call.
Should I go to a telephone?
Let's go to a telephone call.
Let's do that.
Let's go to Dave in Laurel, Maryland.
Hey, Chris, uh you talk about table manners, huh?
Yeah, seriously.
We could have gotten rid of Harry Reed a long time ago.
Yeah, if for slouching.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's like a question mark.
He's questioned Mark and the Mysterioans.
He's uh he's got some some kind of spinal thing going on there he should have it looked into.
I know a good surgeon if he needs one.
Uh you know in these uh debates, they're gonna ask Trump some gotcha questions.
They're gonna ask him about I don't know, his bankruptcies, his former marriages, they're gonna ask him things like you called uh Rosie O'Donnell that pig, do you still feel that way?
And I think his answer to every one of these gotcha questions should be exactly the same.
And I think this is what it should be.
He should say, at this point, what difference does it make?
Now once the laughing and the clapping starts, stops.
I think he should look at the camera and say, if that answer was an acceptable answer by a Secretary of State being questioned by a congressional committee looking into the deaths of four Americans, then it certainly is an acceptable answer for a presidential debate.
You should say that every single time they ask him a gotcha question.
That is that is good.
That is that would be a very good response.
I don't know if you can do it with every question, but he should definitely expect, and you're absolutely right, that we have they announced, I mentioned earlier, debate moderators unveiled, unveiled is the headline from the Hill.
It's uh what is it, the new Corvette?
It they weren't unveiled, they just announced the these reporter guys.
One of them is Chris Wallace of uh Fox News, and he's serious, and and uh that's acceptable.
Apparently Donald Trump kind of gave a nod during an interview to Lester Holt.
So Lester Holt from NBC News, who is generally innocuous enough, but the problem is that he's the front man for NBC News, and NBC News is one of the most corrupt or news organizations on the planet.
Then you have Manderson Pooper of CNN, and uh he's a billionaire, member of the Vanderbilt family.
He vacations at Biltmore House.
He bought a firehouse, a fire station in New York as a plaything.
Did you know that?
Yes, he did.
He bought a fire station in New York as a playhouse, go up and down the pole and all that stuff.
Yeah, for parties, yeah, for parties.
And Martha Raditz, Redett's of ABC.
Yeah, uh seriously bought a firehouse.
Yeah, give it a give it the old Google, yeah.
Well, for parties and things, it's a nice play.
Although he's a very wealthy man.
He's from the one of the m wealthiest families in the history of humankind.
The his mother was Gloria Vanderbilt, and it wasn't just the blue jeans, you know.
And his father was no slouch either, so uh no, Anderson Cooper is from one of the world's wealthiest families.
He doesn't he doesn't have to work or anything.
I he just kind of does this.
But and and uh honestly, I used to work with him at at CNN here and there, and he was one of the more intelligent uh articulate, serious people there.
But this this machine just turns everything into what it is at at CNN.
And it's you know, he's voting for Hillary, or th uh uh Lester Holt is voting for Hillary, Martha Raditz of ABC News, who does some good reporting on national security stuff.
Uh and and and I know her, and you know what, I like her.
But they're all Democrats.
They're and this is the deck is stacked.
Every direction you look, the deck is stacked.
I uh I can tell you from personal experience, decades long, uh learning it the hard way, in the streets, and and in the hallways.
And uh the i it it's just the deck is so stacked against every Republican.
Mitt Romney is one of the you know, sweetest, nicest people you're ever gonna meet in your life.
And he was wasn't the perfect candidate and he wasn't aggressive enough.
But look what they did to him.
I mean, look look what the news media does to Republican candidates.
And then Hillary Clinton, who's one of the great slime balls ever to run for president of the United States, and is as untrustworthy as Kim Jong-ul.
K Kim Jong un is she just gets uh free ride on everything, a free path and you and once again I think a lot of American people are are having their eyes opened this election cycle as to just how corrupt the media machine, and it's not just the news media either.
It's uh it's Stephen Colbert, it's John Stewart, it's uh the list goes on and it was David Letterman when David Letterman was on the air.
These are all arrows in the Democrat Party's quiver.
The jokes are are uh obviously anti-Republican and pro-Democrat, the guests, the treatment of the guests when Michelle Bachman went on uh was it Jimmy Fallon with the roots, the song that they played.
You remember the song they played when she came?
The song was Lion Ass Bitch is the name of can I say that?
That's the name of the song that they played that the Roots played when Michelle Buckman came out.
There were no lyrics uh when they played, it was the instrumental only.
But it's too bad they wasted it because they could have Hillary on soon, and now what are they gonna play?
I I guess they could play the Elton John version, uh, you know, the bitch is back.
Maybe you have to save that for the second time she's on the shouldn't that be the the theme song of the Hillary Clinton campaign when she comes out on stage?
They had uh Bill Clinton and Al Gore with their shirts off doing Fleetwood Mac uh uh don't stop thinking about tomorrow.
I think maybe Elton John should be the choice for the for the Clinton campaign.
But that's that's me.
I think I've I'm looking at the clock now.
I've got to take a break and Mike is nodding at me.
So let's uh let's do that and then we'll come back and do more fun radio.
See, I just I I went to the uh the bing the bing Google machine on Al Gore's amazing internet there, peace be upon him.
To uh look up Anderson Cooper's uh firehouse here.
And uh and again, it's not that he's a bad person, it's just he's a biased journalist.
That's uh doesn't say the well, they're all either bad people or they're just bad journalists, but it's the state of the industry, and it is an industry, and it's a TV show.
But here's a uh here's a great headline from the Daily Mail on Anderson Cooper's Firehouse 2014.
The headline is And Andy Cohen slides down Anderson Cooper's fireman's pole in CNN Anchor's house at book party with guests Monica Lewinsky, Kelly Rippa, and Nene Leeks.
Now wait a minute, you got Andy Cohen sliding down Anderson Cooper's fireman's poll and as firehouse, you got Monica Lewinsky in the fire people are sliding down polls.
I don't know what Kelly Rip is doing there, and then Nene Leaks.
It's a real housewives person, it's some kind of a real house.
I'm glad I didn't know who Nene Leaks was.
I did have uh what I Yeah, Nene Leaks.
When I was a small child, my great grandmother was called Nene.
We called our great-grandmother Nene Leaks.
She lived to be ninety-eight years old, and during the end she leaked a little too.
She was uh kind of in the you know, no, no, Nene, N-E-N-E, Nene Leaks.
And that was, I'm not kidding, that was the name of my great grandmother, at least that's what we called her.
Great grandmother, she lived to be ninety-eight years old, I believe.
And uh she saw some stuff, you know, it's like that.
Nene Leaks.
That's that's what was going on with that.
Where is the uh where is the clock?
Let's see.
Let's uh shall we go to a telephone call?
Let's go to a telephone call.
Why don't we do that?
Talk to some nice people.
Let's go to Dalton in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
I loved you in Roadhouse.
Yeah, I was actually named after Roadhouse.
I was named after Patrick Swayze.
Were you really?
You were named for Roadhouse, baby.
Hi I'm high fiving.
Yeah, my dad, my dad, it was right after the movie was I guess the movie was out, and um my dad named me after him.
He loved the name.
Uh he was a bounce at the time actually, so it was ironic.
Sure, Patrick Swayze, he's a bouncer in a bar, uh Ben Gazara, he owned the town.
He zigzags down the road.
It's a fun movie.
It's a camp, it's a camp kind of movie.
It still is.
I mean it's it's a little over the top, but it's a fun movie.
In any case, Dalton.
And again, it's uh so I c I call because uh you know last week uh heard something Rush said um he was talking about the woman that actually put out a report um she went across the you know the World Cities uh Pennsylvania and you know put out the the report of you know all the all the Trump signs and talking about you know that they there's people aren't the ones getting polled and that they might you know show up in the you know in in the general election and they're the ones that are going to shoot Trump over the top and I'm one of those people um I'm 22 years old um I have two degrees uh of Bachelors
of art in economics Bachelor of Science and Business and you know I don't I don't get on Twitter.
I don't you know I'm not really on Facebook.
I'm on LinkedIn some but you know working seventy hours a week supporting uh my son and you know I'm I'm not I'm in the world cities I'm actually I live in Hagerstown Maryland.
I I went to Trump rally um and you know I think a couple calls before you had talked about um the Trump rallies and and man there was it was packed it was in the airport and every here and it's probably five or ten thousand people there and those five or ten thousand people waiting outside to get in.
but we're the people that are going to show up, that they're not showing on the polls, the people that aren't on Twitter, that they're not polling and not seeing those numbers out, because I believe that those people are going to show up.
And I just kind of touched on something you were talking about before with the media and the bias, and of course, when I was growing up, and even at the beginning of my freshman and sophomore year in college, I was more democratically and I was, you know, I felt
that my values were were you know um were in line with them and then you know I started and started taking some economics courses and started taking the business courses and really got you know understanding of what's going on and and then switched over started listening to W W M A L U and and Rush and and uh Savage and then you're trying to change my whole perspective on things.
How about that?
It's amazing what additional information we're will do.
You know when you're only given one side of the story I always kind of compare it to a trial in a courtroom where the news media provides you with one side of the story depending on what the story is either with the case that the prosecution wants to make as is uh the the case with Donald Trump for example or the case that the defense makes as is the case with Hillary Clinton.
But they only give you half of the story the the so-called mainstream news media the Lester Holtz and Anderson Coopers and and so on give you uh a half of the story.
And I and I've always said if you listen to my show Dalton that uh the most insidious power that the news media has is the power to ignore.
And if they ignore key facts, key elements of a story, then the listener, the viewer, the reader uh comes away with a misimpression or a corrupt impression of what they should be understanding, but don't because you've only heard from the prosecution or you've only heard from the defense.
And I find that all too many people these days are perfectly content to just take half of the story in willingness and and uh spout off talking points that have been issued to them and and I find Democrats and liberals tend to use the talking points that are issued by the party in in a disturbing disturbingly consistent way.
They use the actual words phrases and thoughts and uh and so on that are issued to them by the party and I I find that to be kind of not delete kind of I find that to be creepy.
Dalton thank you very much my friend we've got to take uh what is it Rush called them?
An an obscene profits break and uh an obscene profits break and then we'll be right back.
We don't know where Rush Limbaugh is or as the Reverend Al Charlatan likes to call him on occasion Russ Lumbar because it's not on purpose.
He's just the Reverend Al Sherlatan since he lost the three hundred and twenty pounds his speech thing doesn't work quite the same.
We were just having a discussion here uh Mr. Bows Nerdly and myself and we want to take a moment just a quick moment to uh to congratulate and and give a hoo ah to Jason Lewis in Minnesota who just won his Republican primary for the second district congressional seat in Minnesota Jason Lewis who at one time did sit in for Rush Limbaugh right here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and he left the glories of talk radio for politics and things are going well because he just won his Republican
