  Speaker 1: I don't know what that tal is about this funk.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: We are at the six forty one. I checked out
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: this is the Power Hour sixtend up on the TV
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and Zach, I just send something to your email. Uh
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: A link. I can't believe people criticize anything anymore. And
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: we'll get into that here in a second. Uh. The Democrats,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the Left, the liberals. I've always I've been I've always
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: been able to handle the debate, discussion, the disagreement as
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: long as it was respectful. I've never had a problem
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: with it. But the rancid, rabid, highly insulting crapola to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: which I have been subjected recently on social media is
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: just it's too much. And it's not like it's rec
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: detect are going, hey check you are a fill in
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the blank hair. It's not that it's they're casting dispersions
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: upon everyone who voted for Donald Trump, supported Donald Trump,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: speaks favorably of Donald Trump, actually sees a benefit to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk going through the books and and finding as
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: much as he can find when it comes to waste,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and uh, I would think that would be something we
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: would all unite around. These are our dollars, they are
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: our dollars, and if we can stop spending money on
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Iranian Sesame Street and diversity equity and inclusion crap for
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Syria and and and all this stuff. Man, it's bad
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: enough when we get involved in, you know, having to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: prop up the militaries of other countries, and sending arms
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to Ukraine and and spending a bunch of money to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: keep NATO going, and all that as bad. But when
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: we're you know, helping some organization further their gay initiatives
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: or their DEI stuff, or that's internal stuff. Each the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: country needs to deal with that their way, and by
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: their way, I mean with their money. They need to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: come up with their programs to do what they can
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: for their people instead of us spinning all of this money.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And when you're talking about social security and recipients being
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty years old, so you know they
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: don't exist, right. You know there's no one hundred and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: fifty year old people in the country, right. You are
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: aware of that, right, But you have a problem with
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: somebody going, hey, we're cutting these payments off to the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: one hundred fifty year old people. I would think you'd
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: want to say thanks instead of just if.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: You support this Eli Musk isn't elected to anything.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: If you support this kind of stuff, you're a fascist Nazi,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: You're a threat to democracy. You sit down and stop it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Stop it. You don't need to throw that kind of
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: garbage out there. And when it's over, if it's been
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a sham, I don't think it is. But if it's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: been a sham, you know what, I'll get on this
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: here microphone and I will say that, and I will
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: tell you I'm sorry. I trusted people who shouldn't have
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: had my trust, but for right now, they've done nothing
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to not deserve my trust. And I'm scared too, about
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: our economy, about our future, about our military, about the safety.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I'm scared too. But I am scared with confidence because
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I truly believe we're on the right track with the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: right people at the HELM. But I don't need to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: be called names because I feel that way, and I
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: need you to understand. As the liberal friends and family,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Democrat friends family, left wing friends family, or even just acquaintances,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I can only tolerate it for so long before I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: just give up and say, you know, this is pointless,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: this is hopeless. I'm not going to subject myself every
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: day to opening up social media getting updates from you
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: telling me what a terrible person I am. I don't
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: do it to you. Why would you do it to me?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: You can disagree without being nasty, hateful, all those nasty,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: terrible things that you you accused conservatives are doing during
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Barack Obama, during Joe Biden, during the prospect of Kamala Harris.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: You're doing that, don't you see it? Are you so
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: blind by this righteous indignation that you feel that you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: don't even see what you're doing? How can you say diversity, diversity,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: diversity and then exclude everyone who doesn't feel and see
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the same way and thing you do. Mirrors are valuable tools.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: A two one nine eight eight six A two one
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: WTV and Pete, you're on six ten WTVN.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Hey, I agree with everything that you're saying, but just
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: to add a little bit to it. For example, I
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: have some old or some previous co workers, and I'm
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: not I'm friends with them on Facebook, but you know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I haven't talked to him in a while, and a
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: few of them are liberals, and the other day, I
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: kid you not one of them shared a post where
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: some other liberal had commented that he hopes that Elon
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Musk is assassinated like that United Healthcare CEO was assassinated.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: So my take on all of this is that when
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Trump won, the Liberals were so angry. Obviously that's not's
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: not my take, but they were just hoping and praying
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: that he would crash and burn, and now he's doing.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: When they hear that word efficient, as in doge what
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: should stand for Democrats officially getting exposed, they that word efficient,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: it makes them burn inside because he's he's doing something
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: with which which is which many other people, uh the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Conservatives that they hate, they absolutely love it. So the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: last thing they wanted to see him do is succeed
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: at something, and that's exactly what he's doing.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: This isn't partisan as far as I'm concerned, Pete, because
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and I've been very clear since the very beginning, if
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Musk goes in there and finds Republicans conservatives that are
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: milking the same cow that the Democrats are, I want
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: those Republicans held accountable and put up there for everybody
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: throw eggs at too.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: You're exactly right about that, no doubt about it. Yes, absolutely,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: But I'm telling you the hatred that I've seen and
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: for for Trump and conservatives. I mean, when I was
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: growing up, I'm fifty four. When I was growing up,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: people dislike the Liberals, disliked Ronald Reagan, they dislike George Bush.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: That's not how they feel towards Trump. They absolutely despise
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the man with a passion and his ilk and anybody
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: who supported him.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that they they hate us as much
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: as they hate Trump. But I'm just saying that this
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: is Uh. I tell you, our society is, our social
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: mood is gonna get worse. This is definitely gonna make
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the country more divided. And it's you just watch. Things
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: are gonna get worse, not better.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I'm with you, Pete. Thanks very much for the call.
