[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_06]: The Millennial Round Table, Point of View

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_04]: The Millennial Round Table, Point of View

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_04]: The Millennial Round Table, Point of View

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_04]: The Millennial Round Table, Point of View

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_04]: The Millennial Round Table, Point of View

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_04]: The Millennial Round Table, Point of View

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_06]: The Millennial Round Table, Point of View

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_06]: The Millennial Round Table, Point of View

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_06]: create a government that thrives and an America that flourishes, and that those things are

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_06]: worthy of protecting, that those things are valuable, that those guardrails are so important

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_06]: and foundational to everything.

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_06]: It's the originalist concept.

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_06]: So reform when there are mistakes in places to reform, but keep the foundation.

[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_06]: But liberalism is founded in this idea of revolution, not reform.

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_06]: So liberalism says if there's a crack in the foundation of our constitution, racism, slavery

[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_06]: is a good example.

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_06]: We must throw it all out and rebuild like a phoenix from the ashes.

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_06]: You know, if there's an ounce of brokenness in the system, the whole system must be fleshed

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_06]: out.

[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_06]: And so the difference being, you know, Richard, that they don't, I don't think they

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_06]: value democracy in the same way.

[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_06]: That's why voter fraud can be rampant and there's not outcry in the streets.

[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_06]: That's why their candidate can be elected for them because what they care about is identity

[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_06]: politics.

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_06]: They care about the fact that she's African-American and a minority.

[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_06]: They care about the fact that she's a woman.

[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_06]: She's not announced a single policy for weeks or done a single media interview.

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_06]: And the one that she didn't announce was a Trump policy.

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_06]: So Josh, that's my take on it in a brief few minutes here before our break.

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Did you have you thought through, you know, how did we get here and how do they not care?

[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_06]: You know what the Democrat voters not care.

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm going to try not to be too much of a conspiracy theorist here.

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_03]: But you know, it seems more and more like there is a plan that that's been in place.

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_03]: At least we can see over the last several weeks that there have been operatives in

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_03]: the Democratic Party that have decided that Biden was out and have decided that whether

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_03]: they wanted to originally or not, I finally come to decide that Kamala Harris is the

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_03]: nominee.

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_03]: And I hate conspiracy theories.

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_03]: They detest, you know, they're just detested by them.

[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_03]: But you can't get around the fact there's something going on behind the scenes here

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_03]: that is not democratic.

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a few people in a smoke filled room that are making decisions for the people.

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_03]: And the fact that this does not outrage 99 percent of America is just beyond me.

[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_03]: That is really shocking to me.

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_03]: And we get point to a lot of reasons for it.

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_03]: But that that is certainly concerning.

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_03]: How we got here has to be a part of well, there has to be a lot of things that are

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_03]: a part of that.

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_03]: But a plan is certainly a part of that.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_03]: The media decided that Biden wasn't good enough.

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_03]: And then they started reporting that he was that he was going crazy.

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_03]: He'd been going. I mean, he'd been losing his mind for many years.

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_03]: But all of a sudden they decided that he was out.

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_03]: So they pushed him out by actually reporting on it.

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_03]: And then they pushed in Kamala because they decided that she was good enough and

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_03]: they started giving her all this good publicity.

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_03]: So if you don't see a plan behind that, I just again, I'm not a conspiracy theorist.

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I just I can't I can't not see the plan behind it.

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I would add to that.

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't think that the media is even the one who decided.

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that the media and our articles on point of view dot net allude to this.

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_06]: The media is the mouthpiece for the Democrat Party.

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_06]: And so they all speak from the same talking points as well established.

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_06]: You'll add the news runs.

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_06]: You can look at headlines are all going to be using the same key phrases,

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_06]: came see same messaging.

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_06]: I've done media over 10 years now.

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_06]: That's just part of how it works.

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_06]: But the bigger piece is if you're looking for media and news that you can trust,

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm so grateful you're listening to point of view because it takes some research.

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_06]: And we try to do that for you.

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_06]: We try to get down to the truth and the facts in a world where there's no such thing as truth anymore.

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_06]: I would say we're post reality.

[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_06]: There's no such thing as it's your reality versus mine.

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_06]: And so I think point of view is a really great place to come to get that news.

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_06]: And then there's also a Google search now called free spoke search that tries not to

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_06]: bury news either.

[00:21:23] [SPEAKER_06]: So I'll talk about that in a minute when we get back after this break.

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Where does moral truth come from?

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_02]: According to 58 percent of Americans, individuals determine moral truth.

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_02]: A quarter of Generation Z says society determines moral truth and morality can even change over time.

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Only 42 percent of Americans believe that truth comes from God.

[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know about you, but I find these numbers extremely troubling.

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It really is a crisis of truth.

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And that crisis has consequences.

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Look at society.

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Evil is called good, good called evil.

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_02]: People with biblical beliefs are called bigots or worse.

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_02]: They're canceled.

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_02]: But there is hope.

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_02]: The Bible promises the truth will set us free.

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's why point of view is relentless in our commitment to the ultimate source of moral truth.

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_02]: God's word at point of view, we know that God's truth is eternal.

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_02]: And if we stand together, we can help more Americans apply his truth in their daily life.

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Help Americans find truth again by giving at point of view dot net or call one eight

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_02]: three four seven fifty one fifty one.

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_02]: That's point of view dot net and eight hundred three four seven fifty one fifty one.

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Point of view will continue after this.

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_02]: You are listening to point of view.

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_02]: The opinions expressed on point of view do not necessarily reflect the views of the management or staff of the station.

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_02]: And now here again, Chelsea Yeoman.

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, welcome back to the Millennial Roundtable where you can look up the articles we're discussing today on point of view dot net.

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_06]: I am joined by Richard Lim and Josh Barnes.

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_06]: And we're having a great discussion really about two different topics.

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_06]: One is really the fundamental differences between the electorate or the voters of both parties.

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_06]: The fact that Harris was able to be dubbed the nominee and there wasn't necessarily an outcry on their side.

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_06]: We're just moving full steam ahead.

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_06]: But the other thing we're talking about is the role of the media as the mouthpiece.

[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_06]: If you Google, for instance, presidential assassination or assassination attempt,

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_06]: you might not see President Trump's most recent assassination attempt appear at all in your Google searches.

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_06]: This is something that I've seen it make the news a little bit.

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_06]: This idea of information control and hiding the ball on some things that they want us to forget,

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_06]: the media does, and then really teasing out the narratives that they want to take up for the American people.

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm using this.

[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_06]: The top article is on national review, which is a very great resource if you're looking for news coverage

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_06]: that's going to talk about the issues you care about and less narrative, more content,

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_06]: which is something that's important to me.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_06]: National review is on that list.

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_06]: And they are talking about the fact that Kamala Harris's campaign is very,

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_06]: very different than traditional presidential campaigns, not just because it's inception,

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_06]: which we've already talked about how she got here, but because she's not taking interviews,

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_06]: for instance, she doesn't feel the need to speak to the American public directly.

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_06]: For example, answering hard questions would be topic one.

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_06]: You guys can feel free to go on that route.

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_06]: I think area two would be a failure to announce policies.

[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_06]: It's very unusual for a party not to be leading on the policies and issues.

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, I think if their voters don't care about policies but they care about personality,

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_06]: maybe that's why we could talk about that.

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_06]: I would say another area that's very uncommon besides the fact that she's not taking media interviews,

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_06]: she's not really talking to the public, there's no policy announcements,

[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_06]: is also this idea that they're almost like erasing her record.

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_06]: She has a record to speak of.

[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_06]: She's been with the Biden administration for four years.

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_06]: She's had the chance to own this economy, turn it around, fix the border.

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_06]: It's not that she is a new candidate, but no one is talking about that.

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_06]: What is her record?

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_06]: It's almost like Democrat voters might not prioritize or care about those things.

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_06]: I wanted to hear y'all's thoughts on any of those topics or more that stood out from you

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_06]: on this article about how her campaign is really different and she's just able to rely

[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_06]: on the media to get the messages she wants out there for her,

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_06]: which is essentially the topic of this article.

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, so the Democrats are the experts at taking something radical

[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_04]: and making it seem mainstream.

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_04]: We did see this with Barack Obama in 2004.

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_04]: 2004, or I'm sorry, 2008.

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Barack Obama had been in the Senate just for a handful of years.

[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_04]: He was a junior senator and he had compiled the most liberal voting record

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_04]: in the Senate among the hundred senators there according to National Journal.

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Number two was Joe Biden.

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_04]: The two most liberal senators ran as a ticket and, as we all know, they won twice.

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_04]: They won because Barack Obama was able to convince enough Americans that

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_04]: he was a mainstream political leader.

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_04]: There were many people that bought into what Obama said about there are no white America

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_04]: or black America or Asian America.

[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_04]: There's the United States of America.

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_04]: That's what he said.

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_04]: He ended up being as radical of a president,

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_04]: radical left of a president as we've ever had.

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Joe Biden was supposed to be moderate in 2020,

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_04]: but he's governed even more left than Barack Obama.

[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_04]: This is something that the Democrats have perfected.

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_04]: In this case, they have somebody who's completely,

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_04]: not just a radical leftist in Kamala Harris and a radical leftist in walls,

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_04]: but they also have somebody who's completely unlikable and inarticulate in Kamala Harris.

[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_04]: They're hiding all of it.

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_04]: They're running on Donald Trump is Hitler and Kamala Harris.

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's have the first woman president.

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Those are the two things that they're running on and they're so effective at that.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_04]: The question is, will they have to pay the bill eventually?

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_04]: They were able to gaslight the American people that Joe Biden was not falling apart

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_04]: and they did it all the way through the campaign in 2020

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_04]: and through the majority of his presidency.

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_04]: But at some point, they had to pay the bill and deal with this situation.

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Kamala Harris, if she gets elected,

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_04]: she's going to have to give press conferences to some extent.

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_04]: She's going to have to give speeches.

[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_04]: She's going to have to give an inaugural address,

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_04]: state of the union address.

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_04]: She's going to have to go and meet with foreign leaders

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_04]: and have to speak in public

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_04]: and we're going to have to see the results of those relationships.

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_04]: At some point, maybe they don't care.

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_04]: They don't care as long as they get her into power.

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_04]: It doesn't matter.

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_04]: They'll deal with it later.

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_04]: But they are the experts in gaslighting and that's what we're doing.

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_06]: That is.

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_06]: You know, Josh, to add to this as well,

[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_06]: I think the American people are smarter than the left will give them credit for.

[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_06]: I think the left tries to treat them like sheep and some fall into that, okay?

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_06]: But I do think Americans understand when they're paying for groceries

[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_06]: and paying for gas and losing their jobs

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_06]: and the stock market is crashing.

[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, they feel that.

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_06]: You know, the American public, I think, can't help but feel the reality of Bidenomics

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_06]: and understand that Kamala is a part of that.

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_06]: And if they want something different,

[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_06]: I think the Democrat voters are going to have to choose between identity politics.

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_06]: Are we more excited that she's a woman and a minority

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_06]: or do we care more about being able to feed our kids?

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_06]: That's going to be a decision that they have to make,

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_06]: whether they're willing to get into the work.

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_06]: And trust me, it does take work to understand their records

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_06]: and the policies and what they are for and what they're against

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_06]: because, like you said, Richard, they're just trying to hide all of that

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_06]: under the cuteness of her persona.

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Josh, I'd love your input on that.

[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think you made an excellent point at the end of the last half hour

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_03]: where when you said that when you made the point about

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_03]: point of view is a great place to go to get your news

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_03]: and the few news outlets like this

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_03]: where you can get good, well-researched information are really important.

[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think that is so essential for Christian people.

[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_03]: We're supposed to be people who have our faith is based on evidence.

[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, Christ came to prove that he was the Messiah.

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_03]: He did miracles. He rose from the dead.

[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_03]: It was all proof that he was truly who he said he was.

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_03]: We are a people of evidence.

[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And what's shocking to me is that it's something in the neighborhood of 60%

[00:31:07] [SPEAKER_03]: of the Democratic Party claim Christianity.

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_03]: 60% of people who are registered Democrats claim to be Christians.

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_03]: And I wonder if so many Christian people or people who call themselves Christians

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_03]: are voting based on their emotions, what they feel.

[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think that's a lot of what they're trying to capitalize

[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_03]: on with Kamala Harris right now.

[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_03]: They're trying to start an emotional ticket really where you vote for her

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_03]: because she's a woman, vote for her because she has darker skin,

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_03]: vote for her because she has these singers at her concerts.

[00:31:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Since they're concerts, they're not so much political rallies.

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Vote for her because of and fill in the blank with anything

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_03]: but actual reasoned thoughts and educated policies.

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's the problem.

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_03]: So what we need to do is have Christian people in this country rise up

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and be evidentiary people that are actually doing their research

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_03]: and studying things out like this.

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, and more than that, we also, you know,

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_06]: on either side of the parliament or where you land,

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_06]: both parties can be drawn into the temptation of charisma.

[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_06]: We've always had charismatic presidents have been one of the number one indicator

[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_06]: of whether they were going to win or not for history.

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_06]: But now we have the benefit of social media and TV.

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_06]: But this idea of identity politics happens, you know, on the right as well

[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_06]: and making sure that for the Republicans that they're holding President Trump

[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_06]: accountable to their conservative ideals to represent them well,

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_06]: which is something, you know, we've seen his campaign be tempted into those

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_06]: media and voters, middle voters.

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_06]: And what we're seeing is Kamala Harris was able to close that gap.

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Now it's early.

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_06]: There's months to go.

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think that shiny excitement can wear off in the upcoming months.

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_06]: But, you know, the base needs to be shored up for both parties,

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_06]: no matter who's running.

[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_06]: That's just good campaigning and making sure that your base is excited about you.

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_06]: One of the ways we've seen the Democrats do this is who they elected

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_06]: as their vice president, which we're going to talk about after this next break.

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Vice presidential nominee, I guess, would be his title.

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Walls, governor of Minnesota.

[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_06]: You know, his record is about as blue as it could be,

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_06]: but he's being painted as something else.

[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_06]: So we'll get back on those details in just a minute.

[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_01]: To point of view.

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Welcome back to the Millennial Roundtable.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_06]: We are rounding out our discussion about Kamala Harris's vice presidential pick

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_06]: in Tim Walls.

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_06]: We're talking about how the media is really personifying certain candidates,

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_06]: identity politics on both sides.

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_06]: And of course, this ticket is no exception.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_06]: He is largely known as the Minnesota governor.

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_06]: I would say most mainstream Americans might not know much about him.

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_06]: And he was really unveiled as what I would call a persona.

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Kamala Harris started calling him coach as she addressed him.

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_06]: He's been picked almost to be the persona of a dad, a teacher, old-fashioned values.

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Again, she kept calling him coach, talks about how he likes to hunt.

[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_06]: You know, by all accounts, he would be a blue dog looking Democrat

[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_06]: where he's for the working class and working man.

[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_06]: And that might look to appear that way if you turn on your media.

[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_06]: But when you look at his record as the governor of Minnesota

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_06]: and even his record as a teacher where he visited China 30 times,

[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_06]: spent his honeymoon in China, has a lot of close ties in China,

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_06]: you start to see a different picture and one that is even more progressive,

[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_06]: maybe even than Kamala Harris who had more of a,

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_06]: I would say a traditional governmental route in her career to be the candidate.

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_06]: When you look at his record, I'm going to start with you, Josh.

[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_06]: There were a lot of things that stood out to me.

[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_06]: We could talk about everything from him allowing the BLM riots to burn down

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_06]: Minnesota's biggest city for four days before calling in the National Guard.

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_06]: We could talk about the statements of his wife who said she left the windows open

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_06]: so she could smell the smoke of the burning city at night

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_06]: or his daughter helping BLM rioters avoid the National Guard when they were brought in.

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_06]: But that doesn't even include his COVID protocols, which we could also talk about.

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_06]: So I want to really get past this persona idea

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_06]: and really get to the nitty gritty of who are these candidates that have been elected

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_06]: for us to choose from? Josh, I'd love to hear from your perspective.

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and you made the point earlier and I think Richard did as well about how the media is

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_03]: just sculpting this image of these people that appears to be,

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_03]: they're just these wonderful people and anyone who knows anything about

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_03]: their background knows that's not the case.

[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_03]: The thing that probably disturbs me the most as a pastor is his push for the transgender

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_03]: stuff and the tampons in boys' bathroom and all this stuff.

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_03]: The way the media has even responded to the outcry about this is just ridiculous.

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_03]: He's a dad, he's looking out for those boys who need tampons kind of a thing.

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's just disgusting.

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_03]: His lies about his military service is just in any kind of a sane America,

[00:37:06] [SPEAKER_03]: these two would not receive one single vote.

[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's just shocking to me how effective the media has been able to

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_03]: effectively, excuse me, I guess I should say how effectively they've been able to rebrand

[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_03]: these two people.

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I think a lot's coming to light at the same time though, Richard,

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_06]: a few other things that stand out to me about his record besides the writing in his state.

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_06]: He did repeal every single protection for unborn children possible.

[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Protections, really basic ones, ones allowing children or babies who are born

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_06]: and survive a botched abortion to receive medical care, basic humanity care, right?

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_06]: For a child who survived a botched abortion.

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_06]: He repealed that and eight kids were born alive after abortion and died on the table

[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_06]: without receiving any medical care whatsoever.

[00:37:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Allowing underprivileged minor children to receive abortions without telling their

[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_06]: parents.

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_06]: That's a basic safety protocol to prevent things like human trafficking

[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_06]: or even sexual abuse and rape.

[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, he's repealed every semblance of protections for unborn children.

[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_06]: He's also very anti-gun.

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_06]: They're putting up a bunch of photos of him hunting and fishing.

[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_06]: He's a Minnesota guy, but at the end of the day, he has statements.

[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Some of them he's reneged.

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_06]: So look into that.

[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_06]: That really alluded to the fact that he didn't believe in Second Amendment rights.

[00:38:32] [SPEAKER_06]: He thinks hate speech is a crime, which is something you've seen in Australia

[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_06]: and in Europe where it's a crime, but the Supreme Court has held unanimously for a decade

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_06]: as they've tried to push that hate speech is a crime exception into the First Amendment

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_06]: free speech, which has been rejected by the Supreme Court.

[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_06]: But he still talks about that.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Richard, anything stand out to you about his record or this ideal that the media

[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_06]: is painting on him?

[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, I mean, to say nothing of his support for gender affirming care for

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_04]: minors as well as supporting driver's license for illegal immigrants.

[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_04]: This really is an indication of how these positions, which used to be fringe

[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_04]: in the American political landscape are now mainstream in the Democratic Party.

[00:39:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Now, I think I'd rather turn to more anecdotal evidence.

[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_04]: One of my good friends, she's a friend from high school and I've gotten to know her

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_04]: and her husband over the years.

[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I did not know what her political views were.

[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_04]: We didn't talk about it in high school, but she had lived in Minnesota,

[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_04]: in Minneapolis for many years, and they just moved out because of what has happened

[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_04]: there.

[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Essentially, what she said is that because she was in ground zero during the whole

[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_04]: George Floyd riots, she saw so many of the establishments that the cafes,

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_04]: the restaurants, the shops that she used to go through just get burned down.

[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_04]: While this was happening, newspapers, well, not just newspapers but just people

[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_04]: in general in Minneapolis were not allowed to talk about what was happening.

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_04]: It was gaslighting Maoist tactics.

[00:40:20] [SPEAKER_04]: It would make Mao proud that this wasn't happening.

[00:40:26] [SPEAKER_04]: At some point, they were thrilled to just see one little blurb that acknowledged a

[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_04]: little bit of the violence that was happening that convinced them we weren't

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_04]: hallucinating this, that this actually happened.

[00:40:39] [SPEAKER_04]: They finally left.

[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_04]: But with all that said, that is Tim Walz's Minnesota.

[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_04]: That is the state, that is the conditions that he has fostered.

[00:40:50] [SPEAKER_04]: He is happy to go along with that.

[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_04]: We know as Christians that evil like the mask is good.

[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_04]: So we are seeing situations here where, oh, this is just a harmless person.

[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_04]: He's wonderful.

[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, this is scary stuff.

[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_04]: And about a third of our presidents were once vice presidents.

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_04]: A lot of them have come from our vice presidents.

[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_04]: A lot of presidents have come from the vice presidency.

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_04]: So these picks are a big deal.

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_04]: And the fact that Kamala has elevated someone this radical,

[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_04]: it really shows where they're going and there's no stopping.

[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_04]: No one can be too left for this party.

[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_04]: And if Tim Walz is their vice presidential pick,

[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_04]: I think that shows where that party is going and the kind of tactics

[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_04]: we can imagine going forward.

[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Well said, Richard, as always.

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_06]: I'll point out a few things.

[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_06]: In addition, I've seen videos of COVID lockdowns

[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_06]: where an over-militarized SWAT teams were going through the streets

[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_06]: of suburban areas with paint guns, screaming for people to get inside

[00:41:52] [SPEAKER_06]: their homes and shooting their own citizens with paint guns

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_06]: to keep them in their houses.

[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Really, really dark and foreboding things that we're talking about today,

[00:42:01] [SPEAKER_06]: which is why our vote matters.

[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that one of the Democrat campaign tactics

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_06]: is to depress the Republican vote.

[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_06]: That's a well-known demobilization tactic of any campaign on any side.

[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_06]: For people to be mobilized on wherever you stand on these,

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_06]: get out and vote in November.

[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_06]: It's going to be really important.

[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you for being with us today, Richard and Josh.

[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Have a great Thursday.

[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_02]: The Bible tells us not to worry.

[00:43:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And yet there is a lot of worrying stuff in our world today.

[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Thankfully, the Bible doesn't stop at telling us not to worry.

[00:43:24] [SPEAKER_02]: God gives us a next step.

[00:43:27] [SPEAKER_02]: He says we need to pray.

[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_02]: But sometimes even knowing what to pray can be difficult.

[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And that is why Point of View has relaunched our Pray for America movement,

[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_02]: a series of weekly emails to guide you in prayer for our nation.

[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_02]: along with a written prayer that you can easily share with others.

[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll also include a short free resource for you in each email

[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_02]: so you can learn more about the issue at hand.
