Latest / V / Dems Are Paying Big Bucks To Make Kamala Cool (Ep.17)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bongina Report Early Edition. I
- 0:02Speaker 1: am your host, Evita. There's a lot to get to today.
- 0:05Speaker 1: We're gonna uncover the real reason it appeared Kamala Harris
- 0:09Speaker 1: and Tim Walz drew a big crowd in Wisconsin yesterday.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Then allegations that Democrats are paying social media influencers to
- 0:17Speaker 1: post pro-Harris and pro-Walz content. Politico and Bloomberg caught openly
- 0:22Speaker 1: coordinating with the Biden admin for more favorable coverage. The
- 0:26Speaker 1: media's fawning over Tim Walz keeps getting worse. Joe Biden
- 0:31Speaker 1: is completely MIA. Meanwhile, Kamala refuses to sit down with
- 0:35Speaker 1: the media, and the government has released illegal aliens on
- 0:38Speaker 1: the terror watch list into this country. All this on
- 0:42Speaker 1: Bongina Report, early edition. So Kamala Harris and Tampon Tim
- 0:58Speaker 1: made their first campaign stop to the Midwest yesterday, and
- 1:01Speaker 1: they traveled to Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I know it well.
- 1:05Speaker 1: I'm a Wisconsin native. And according to the media, the
- 1:08Speaker 1: crowd was just spectacularly massive, and there's just so much
- 1:12Speaker 1: support around Kamala and Walsh in Wisconsin. And we have
- 1:16Speaker 1: some video of that event. If we can. This is
- 1:21Speaker 1: what democracy looks like! This is what democracy looks like!
- 1:24Speaker 2: Show me what democracy looks like!
- 1:26Speaker 1: This is what democracy looks like! Show me what democracy
- 1:30Speaker 1: looks like! This is what democracy looks like!
- 1:32Speaker 3: Show me what democracy looks like!
- 1:34Speaker 2: This is what democracy looks like!
- 1:37Speaker 1: So, okay, we're good with that. So all this energy, right,
- 1:39Speaker 1: everybody's sharing the videos, they're saying it's so amazing, look,
- 1:43Speaker 1: Comble's got all this support in Wisconsin. Incredible. Until you
- 1:48Speaker 1: dig a little deeper. Here's Dinesh D'Souza adding some essential
- 1:53Speaker 1: context to these very sweeping reports about the crowds yesterday.
- 1:59Speaker 1: He says the real reason for Kamala's huge crowd in
- 2:02Speaker 1: Wisconsin is just like her huge crowd in Atlanta. You
- 2:05Speaker 1: guys remember she brought in famous rappers, hip-hop artists. He continues,
- 2:10Speaker 1: the Harris team brought in Billboard number one charting band
- 2:13Speaker 1: Bon Iver to perform at the rally. Now, you guys,
- 2:17Speaker 1: Bon Iver was a... was founded by singer-songwriter Justin Vernon,
- 2:23Speaker 1: who was actually born and raised in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
- 2:27Speaker 1: So this is a huge deal. He's wildly famous in
- 2:29Speaker 1: this area, and he's bound to draw big crowds in
- 2:33Speaker 1: this area. It's a free concert, essentially. I have a
- 2:36Speaker 1: funny story for you guys about Bon Iver. The band's
- 2:39Speaker 1: manager actually ran against my dad, who was the congressman
- 2:43Speaker 1: for Wisconsin's 7th District at the time. I believe this
- 2:46Speaker 1: was back, I think it was 2018. And my brother
- 2:48Speaker 1: and I, we actually like a couple Bon Iver songs.
- 2:51Speaker 1: I would not say I'm a Bon Iver fan, but
- 2:52Speaker 1: there's a few of them that are good. And my
- 2:55Speaker 1: dad would always jokingly say, turn these liberals off. Anytime
- 2:58Speaker 1: my brother and I would play Bon Iver because the
- 3:01Speaker 1: band manager was his running mate. Anyways, the point is
- 3:04Speaker 1: Kamala has a lot of hype around her, but it
- 3:08Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be very organic. It feels very contrived.
- 3:13Speaker 1: It feels very sterile. She's collaborating with all these big celebrities, or,
- 3:19Speaker 1: and this brings me to my next story, paying influencers
- 3:22Speaker 1: to make her seem cool. So Senator, I mean, there's
- 3:26Speaker 1: not a Senator, Jake Hoffman, the state Senator, has come
- 3:30Speaker 1: out accusing Democrats of paying social media influencers to post
- 3:35Speaker 1: pro-Harris-Walls content on Instagram, according to Hoffman.com. quote, an Instagram
- 3:40Speaker 1: whistleblower with nearly 150,000 followers contacted me with screenshots exposing
- 3:46Speaker 1: a sophisticated astroturfing effort underway by the Harris-Walls campaign. And
- 3:51Speaker 1: we have a letter that he posted with this expose.
- 3:57Speaker 1: And the letter, it pretty much just essentially offers to
- 4:01Speaker 1: pay an influencer for three pro-Kamala posts. It doesn't specify
- 4:05Speaker 1: how much they're willing to pay, But it does seem
- 4:10Speaker 1: like something that's really happening. I have a little montage
- 4:13Speaker 1: for you guys of influencers chilling for Kamala. And I
- 4:16Speaker 1: want you guys to just think, does this seem genuine
- 4:19Speaker 1: or does this seem a little bit contrived as you
- 4:21Speaker 1: listen to these videos?
- 4:21Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm never quick to praise a white man,
- 4:24Speaker 2: but Tim Walz?
- 4:25Speaker 1: I like that Caucasian man.
- 4:27Speaker 4: I like him.
- 4:28Speaker 1: How do y'all feel? I like that Caucasian man. What's up, howdy,
- 4:32Speaker 1: this is your girl, Megan Thee Stallion, a.k.a. the hot
- 4:33Speaker 1: girl coach, reporting live with the future president of the
- 4:36Speaker 1: United States.
- 4:38Speaker 2: We are here at the Kamala Harris for President kickoff
- 4:41Speaker 2: rally with her new vice presidential pick, Tim Walz.
- 4:44Speaker 1: And the crowd is on fire. Let me show you
- 4:47Speaker 1: right now. Kamala Harris picked Tim Walz. She picked Tim
- 4:54Speaker 1: Walz to be VP. We're going to win, y'all. We're
- 4:59Speaker 1: going to win. So we can never really tell if
- 5:04Speaker 1: these are collaborations, paid collaborations or not, and I'm going
- 5:08Speaker 1: to tell you why in a second. But again, this
- 5:12Speaker 1: report from Hoffman is an allegation, not yet verified, but
- 5:15Speaker 1: I suspect it's real because of this report from the
- 5:18Speaker 1: New York Times in November of 2022. Campaigns pay influencers
- 5:23Speaker 1: to carry their messages, skirting the political ad rules. And
- 5:27Speaker 1: I have a quote from this article. Political firms, mostly
- 5:29Speaker 1: those aligned with Democrats and progressive causes, are increasingly turning
- 5:33Speaker 1: to Instagram influencers in hopes of finding ways to reach
- 5:37Speaker 1: Gen Z and non-English speaking voters. And the New York
- 5:41Speaker 1: Times goes on to say that labeling this Democrat paid
- 5:44Speaker 1: for content as sponsored is pretty much on the honor
- 5:47Speaker 1: system with really no federal way of overseeing it. So
- 5:53Speaker 1: in other words, it's a shady but extremely effective way
- 5:56Speaker 1: for Democrats to get their message out there. It's contrived,
- 6:00Speaker 1: it's not organic, I know, but it is effective because
- 6:04Speaker 1: influencers are trusted by their audiences. And so their impact
- 6:09Speaker 1: is much more meaningful than if you were to pay
- 6:13Speaker 1: for a TV ad or a random billboard. This is targeted.
- 6:17Speaker 1: It's personal. It's what makes an ad really work. Guys,
- 6:23Speaker 1: Democrats are smart. What they're doing here is really, really smart.
- 6:28Speaker 1: And it's baffling to me why Republicans don't do this too.
- 6:33Speaker 1: There are young conservative influencers out there. There are influencers
- 6:36Speaker 1: who aren't even that conservative, but they love Trump. Why
- 6:40Speaker 1: aren't we tapping into this strategy? Is it the consultant
- 6:43Speaker 1: class incompetence? We cannot expect to win in November if
- 6:48Speaker 1: we aren't engaging in new media. Influence campaigns are won
- 6:53Speaker 1: on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. This is just the reality
- 6:55Speaker 1: we live in. And Republicans need to be there too.
- 7:00Speaker 1: It's essential. All right, this next report is infuriating, but
- 7:04Speaker 1: it is to be expected. Per MRC Free Speech, Politico
- 7:08Speaker 1: and Bloomberg Opinion, and this is a quote from MRC,
- 7:12Speaker 1: not me, hoard themselves out to the Biden-Harris White House.
- 7:16Speaker 1: According to the outlet, a Politico reporter forwarded his paywalled
- 7:20Speaker 1: Politico pro piece slapping down worries of the IRS hiring 87,000
- 7:24Speaker 1: new employees. You guys probably remember that story. He forwarded
- 7:28Speaker 1: this article to a Biden-Harris Treasury official who then edited
- 7:32Speaker 1: some of the languages used for the free version of
- 7:34Speaker 1: Politico published a day later. So Politico forwarded it to
- 7:39Speaker 1: the Biden official who edited it to make the hiring
- 7:42Speaker 1: spree appear less bad. And then Politico reported published the
- 7:45Speaker 1: Biden admin-edited article on the free version of their website. Additionally,
- 7:52Speaker 1: Biden Treasury officials were sent interview questions in advance of
- 7:56Speaker 1: a Softball 2022 transcribed Q & A session with a
- 8:00Speaker 1: Bloomberg opinion columnist, with then Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy.
- 8:07Speaker 1: And in an email chain between Bloomberg and Treasury officials,
- 8:12Speaker 1: the Treasury officials actually made edits to the questions. So
- 8:16Speaker 1: what this means is the media, and we have real
- 8:19Speaker 1: evidence of it, is just in shameless collusion with the
- 8:23Speaker 1: Biden-Kamala admin. It's not even unspoken. They aren't just ideologically
- 8:29Speaker 1: on the same page so their voices are very similar. No,
- 8:32Speaker 1: they are fully working together. Seeking approval on content and
- 8:36Speaker 1: a story from a government entity is clearly a violation
- 8:39Speaker 1: of journalistic ethics, but these are propagandists. They aren't interested
- 8:44Speaker 1: in honesty. They don't even believe that truth exists, you guys.
- 8:48Speaker 1: And this is something that's, I think, really fundamental to
- 8:52Speaker 1: understand about leftists. If something furthers so-called progress, even if
- 8:58Speaker 1: it breaks laws or moral codes, it is justified. In
- 9:02Speaker 1: other words, they have no code other than furthering their
- 9:06Speaker 1: political ideology. Why do you think that Trump exercised restraint
- 9:11Speaker 1: and his admin did not prosecute Hillary Clinton when he
- 9:14Speaker 1: won in 2016. But the left tried to stage a
- 9:18Speaker 1: coup against Trump, stole the 2020 election from him, tried
- 9:20Speaker 1: to bankrupt him, tried to throw him in jail, and
- 9:23Speaker 1: potentially tried to kill him with gross negligence. To them,
- 9:27Speaker 1: morality is relative, and everything is permitted in the name
- 9:32Speaker 1: of progress. Of course, the journalistic ethics have been thrown
- 9:38Speaker 1: right out the window when it comes to covering tampon
- 9:41Speaker 1: Tim as well. Here's how ABC condensed Walsh's resume for
- 9:47Speaker 1: viewer consumption.
- 9:49Speaker 2: Walsh grew up in rural Nebraska, served 24 years in
- 9:52Speaker 2: the Army National Guard. He moved to Minnesota, his wife
- 9:55Speaker 2: Gwen's home state, taught high school social studies, coached the
- 9:58Speaker 2: football team. In 2007, Walls unseated a Republican, serving six
- 10:03Speaker 2: terms in Congress. The two-term governor codifying abortion rights in
- 10:07Speaker 2: the state after the fall of Roe v. Wade, enacting
- 10:10Speaker 2: gun safety legislation and guaranteeing free lunches in public schools. Walls,
- 10:16Speaker 2: laughing off criticism, his record is too liberal.
- 10:19Speaker 3: What a monster. Kids are eating and having full bellies
- 10:21Speaker 3: so they can go learn, and women are making their
- 10:24Speaker 3: own healthcare decisions.
- 10:27Speaker 1: You guys, note the framing in that video. Abortion rights
- 10:31Speaker 1: instead of legalizing abortion up until birth, which is what
- 10:34Speaker 1: Tim Walls did. Gun safety instead of curtailing the Second Amendment.
- 10:40Speaker 1: And then, of course, he's in there. He's just hugging children.
- 10:42Speaker 1: He's feeding the hungry children. He's protecting the rights of women.
- 10:47Speaker 1: That wasn't a balanced or fair montage. It's supposed to
- 10:53Speaker 1: be an honest breakdown of this man's career, and instead,
- 10:56Speaker 1: it looks like an ad straight out of the Kamala campaign.
- 10:58Speaker 1: It's shameful. That's why on this show, we tell the
- 11:02Speaker 1: stories and do the research the corporate media refuses to do.
- 11:06Speaker 1: And on that note, I have some real Tim Walz
- 11:09Speaker 1: news for you guys. Now, I briefly went over his
- 11:14Speaker 1: admiration of and sketchy ties to China yesterday, but I
- 11:19Speaker 1: have more information. Tim Walz taught in communist China between
- 11:25Speaker 1: 1989 and 1990. And do you guys know what happened
- 11:28Speaker 1: in 1989? That was the year of the bloody Tiananmen
- 11:33Speaker 1: Square massacre, which killed tens of thousands of peaceful protesters.
- 11:39Speaker 1: And here's the shocking thing. None of this brutality and
- 11:42Speaker 1: evil stopped Walls from admiring the Chinese communist regime. This
- 11:48Speaker 1: is from the New York Post. Walls fawned over his
- 11:51Speaker 1: time living in China, saying, quote, no matter how long
- 11:55Speaker 1: I live, I will never be treated that well again,
- 11:59Speaker 1: adding that he was deeply impressed by the lack of
- 12:02Speaker 1: crime in China. Why do you think they have no crime,
- 12:06Speaker 1: you guys? So he was in China around the time
- 12:10Speaker 1: of the most famous political, one of at least the
- 12:12Speaker 1: most famous political massacres in global history. And he came
- 12:16Speaker 1: back to America praising that regime. And it gets worse.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Walls got married on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
- 12:25Speaker 1: And his wife is quoted in an article from years
- 12:27Speaker 1: back saying, quote, he wanted a date he'll always remember. What?
- 12:36Speaker 1: What sicko would purposely pick the anniversary of the Tiananmen
- 12:39Speaker 1: Square Massacre to get married because he apparently looked so
- 12:42Speaker 1: fondly on it. And the question is, what is Tim
- 12:45Speaker 1: Walz's plan to do to political dissidents in America? If
- 12:49Speaker 1: he has good things to say about the communist country
- 12:52Speaker 1: that murdered thought criminals en masse, what could he do
- 12:55Speaker 1: to you and me? Just listen to what he says
- 12:58Speaker 1: about free speech here in America. We need to push
- 13:01Speaker 1: back on this. There's no guarantee to free speech on
- 13:04Speaker 1: misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy. So
- 13:11Speaker 1: there's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate
- 13:14Speaker 1: speech around our democracy, whatever that means. Guys, the media
- 13:20Speaker 1: wants us to believe that this man is folksy. He's
- 13:23Speaker 1: Midwestern and harmless, like a grandpa. Meanwhile, he praises communist
- 13:30Speaker 1: China and permitted the Marxist writing that destroyed his state
- 13:33Speaker 1: capital and spread like cancer across the country. That's who
- 13:38Speaker 1: this guy is, and it's truly truly terrifying to think
- 13:42Speaker 1: that he may be in power. Switching gears here, guys,
- 13:45Speaker 1: I know that Biden has been a little MIA, but
- 13:51Speaker 1: I'm still really concerned about what this means for our country.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Who is running our country? And according to Fox News,
- 13:59Speaker 1: Biden was briefly seen Monday walking from Marine One to
- 14:02Speaker 1: the Oval Office, ignoring reporters' questions, and he has not
- 14:06Speaker 1: been seen publicly since. Where's Biden? Where's Biden? Biden has
- 14:12Speaker 1: rarely been seen at all since he dropped out of
- 14:15Speaker 1: the presidential campaign. He's got no public events on his
- 14:18Speaker 1: schedule in the future. This man has just peaced out.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Or he's been forced out. I don't know. Drop a comment.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Tell me which one you think it is. But meanwhile,
- 14:28Speaker 1: State Department officials are warning that Iran may soon attack Israel.
- 14:32Speaker 1: And guys, let me be clear. I want nothing to
- 14:37Speaker 1: do with a conflict with Iran. I think it would
- 14:41Speaker 1: be a horrible mistake for America to get into any
- 14:44Speaker 1: sort of war with Iran while we were funding a
- 14:47Speaker 1: war in Israel and Ukraine, have a wide open border,
- 14:50Speaker 1: our trillions of dollars in debt, are so disunified as
- 14:54Speaker 1: a country and militarily unprepared, it would be a catastrophic mistake.
- 15:00Speaker 1: An American warmongering has done nothing but bankrupt and demoralize
- 15:04Speaker 1: us as a people. So I'm terrified by the thought
- 15:07Speaker 1: that our foreign policy is being run by the military
- 15:10Speaker 1: industrial complex machine who is always thirsting for war. We
- 15:14Speaker 1: need an engaged president who at least selfishly thinks about
- 15:18Speaker 1: his legacy and will want to avoid war for that reason.
- 15:23Speaker 1: This has me really, really concerned, you guys. Speaking of
- 15:26Speaker 1: Biden officials going silent, Vice President Kamala Harris has not
- 15:30Speaker 1: sat down with the press for a single long-form interview.
- 15:34Speaker 1: And she's gotten no upcoming ones. on the schedule. And
- 15:38Speaker 1: we all know why this is, because Kamala is not
- 15:40Speaker 1: the sharpest tool in the shed. And every time she
- 15:42Speaker 1: opens her mouth and speaks off the cuff, it sounds idiotic.
- 15:47Speaker 1: And J.D. Vance used an opportunity to call her out
- 15:49Speaker 1: for this when he was in Wisconsin on the tarmac
- 15:53Speaker 1: where Kamala's plane, Air Force Two, was parked. He just
- 15:57Speaker 1: walked right up to the media on the tarmac, listened
- 15:59Speaker 1: to what he tells them. It is gold.
- 16:03Speaker 4: I figured I'd come by and, uh, I wanted to
- 16:06Speaker 4: take a good look at the plane, because hopefully it's
- 16:08Speaker 4: going to be my plane in a few months, but
- 16:09Speaker 4: I also thought you guys might get lonely because the
- 16:12Speaker 4: Vice President doesn't answer questions from reporters and has it
- 16:15Speaker 4: for 17 days. Uh, can I give you guys an
- 16:18Speaker 4: explanation for why she won't take questions from reporters?
- 16:22Speaker 1: No?
- 16:24Speaker 2: Nobody? Okay, great.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Well.
- 16:26Speaker 4: I hope that she changes her mind because it'd be
- 16:28Speaker 4: good for the American people and I think it'd be
- 16:30Speaker 4: good for you all if she actually ran a real
- 16:32Speaker 4: campaign instead of one from a basement with a teleprompter.
- 16:35Speaker 4: So have a good one, guys.
- 16:36Speaker 2: See ya. What would you like to hear from her?
- 16:38Speaker 1: I'd love her to answer some questions.
- 16:40Speaker 4: I'd love her to just answer what she wants to
- 16:42Speaker 4: do and also explain why every single position she has
- 16:45Speaker 4: has changed. She pretends to be a tough on crime
- 16:48Speaker 4: prosecutor and yet here she is wanting to keep on
- 16:50Speaker 4: the police. She's the border guard and yet she's opened
- 16:54Speaker 4: up the American Southern border. This is a person who
- 16:57Speaker 4: has to answer the questions from the media and.
- 16:59Speaker 1: It's disgraceful that she runs for the press.
- 17:01Speaker 4: It's also insulting to the American people.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Anyway, we're going to go do our event.
- 17:08Speaker 4: I appreciate you guys being here.
- 17:09Speaker 1: I wish she paid you some more attention. See ya.
- 17:11Speaker 1: We're good with that. It's incredible to me that you
- 17:16Speaker 1: have J.D. Vance pointing out that Kamala's not sitting down
- 17:20Speaker 1: with the media. This is an outrage. And it's not
- 17:23Speaker 1: the media saying it's an outrage that Kamala's not sitting
- 17:26Speaker 1: down with the media. That's so backward, you guys. The
- 17:29Speaker 1: media should be on top of this. But again, they're
- 17:31Speaker 1: just permissive with Kamala, as always, because it's state-controlled media.
- 17:36Speaker 1: We covered that. All right, moving on. Just when you
- 17:39Speaker 1: thought the headlines could not get crazier during this show,
- 17:42Speaker 1: I bring to you this next story from The Daily Signal.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Under the Biden-Harris administration, at least 99 illegal aliens on
- 17:50Speaker 1: America's terror watch list have been released into the United States,
- 17:55Speaker 1: according to a congressional report. So from the start of
- 17:58Speaker 1: the 2021 fiscal year to the end of the 2023
- 18:03Speaker 1: fiscal year, the Border Patrol at the southern border encountered
- 18:07Speaker 1: 282 illegal aliens on the terror watch list. And since
- 18:10Speaker 1: the start of the 2024 fiscal year, the border has
- 18:13Speaker 1: encountered an additional 93 aliens on the terror watch list. Now,
- 18:19Speaker 1: the terror watch list aliens are coming from a total
- 18:22Speaker 1: of 36 countries, including nations, and this is from the
- 18:25Speaker 1: congressional report, with an active terrorist presence such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Kyrgyzstan, Mauritania, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Yemen.
- 18:37Speaker 1: This is really serious. And 99 of these guys were
- 18:40Speaker 1: just released into America, free to know who knows what. Guys,
- 18:44Speaker 1: our country is so poorly run. The reason this happened
- 18:48Speaker 1: is because when an illegal alien has committed crimes in
- 18:51Speaker 1: his or her home country, but not in the U.S.,
- 18:54Speaker 1: the border crosser is unlikely to be flagged as a threat.
- 18:58Speaker 1: And then there's also, reportedly, a lack of information sharing
- 19:03Speaker 1: between immigration judges. Just gross negligence. Kind of like the
- 19:09Speaker 1: assassination attempt. And at what point do we go, is
- 19:12Speaker 1: this intentional? The mismanagement of our nation? We have border laws,
- 19:18Speaker 1: and our government simply refuses to enforce them. Why are
- 19:22Speaker 1: they implementing idiotic vetting processes that make it impossible for potential,
- 19:28Speaker 1: make it possible for potential terrorists to be let into
- 19:31Speaker 1: this country? It doesn't make any sense. Why are they
- 19:35Speaker 1: being let into the country at all, right? If you
- 19:37Speaker 1: have potential terror watch lists, aliens being let into the country,
- 19:42Speaker 1: It could have been stopped if we just let no
- 19:44Speaker 1: aliens into the country. And I'll tell you why I
- 19:47Speaker 1: think they're doing this. I think they hate America. They
- 19:50Speaker 1: hate the morals and the values we share as a people,
- 19:52Speaker 1: and they want to demoralize and replace us with different
- 19:54Speaker 1: people who have different values. And again, if it's in
- 19:59Speaker 1: the name of cultural Marxism finally taking root in America,
- 20:03Speaker 1: it is worth it to them. It's worth the open
- 20:07Speaker 1: borders and unleashing terrorists into the general populace. You guys,
- 20:11Speaker 1: don't forget that the FBI is, as our government is
- 20:15Speaker 1: letting in terrorists, terror watch list individuals into the country,
- 20:18Speaker 1: the FBI is spending our tax dollars hunting down pro-lifers
- 20:22Speaker 1: and anyone who was present in D.C. on January 6th
- 20:26Speaker 1: or anyone who expresses support of Trump. And that's a fact.
- 20:28Speaker 1: The FBI has labeled MAGA supporters a risk of domestic terrorism.
- 20:34Speaker 1: And I want to take a second to say that
- 20:35Speaker 1: I know in the wake of 9-11, America was a
- 20:38Speaker 1: terrifying place. I understand that. Many of you listening were
- 20:42Speaker 1: scared and you were angry in the wake of that attack.
- 20:46Speaker 1: And our government took advantage of those raw feelings and
- 20:50Speaker 1: used them to curtail basic and essential liberties that we
- 20:54Speaker 1: have never recovered. Now, I was one year old when
- 20:58Speaker 1: 9-11 happened. I don't know what many of you went
- 21:01Speaker 1: through emotionally at that time. But I can tell you
- 21:04Speaker 1: that today, I'm scared and angry too. I'm terrified by
- 21:08Speaker 1: the growth of the security and surveillance state in the
- 21:11Speaker 1: aftermath of 9-11. I meant that I've grown up in
- 21:14Speaker 1: an America that was never really free. I'm growing up
- 21:18Speaker 1: among a generation that fundamentally doesn't respect essential liberties because
- 21:21Speaker 1: they've grown up in America that was never really that free.
- 21:25Speaker 1: And if you are somebody who supported legislation like the
- 21:27Speaker 1: Patriot Act, I'm angry, but not at you. I'm angry
- 21:32Speaker 1: for you. Because the government manipulated an entire nation into
- 21:37Speaker 1: supporting the annihilation of basic liberties. And the real terrorists
- 21:42Speaker 1: now are the people within the federal government who think
- 21:44Speaker 1: they're above the Constitution and who view you and me
- 21:48Speaker 1: as enemies of the state. I'm going to end on
- 21:53Speaker 1: a lighter note, you guys. If you didn't already know,
- 21:55Speaker 1: I grew up in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. My family
- 21:59Speaker 1: has some really deep Wisconsin roots. My dad grew up
- 22:02Speaker 1: in Hayward, Wisconsin. home of the Lumberjack World Championships. And
- 22:06Speaker 1: he actually is a speed climbing world champion. If you
- 22:09Speaker 1: don't know what speed climbing is, I encourage you to
- 22:11Speaker 1: look it up. It's pretty crazy. It's essentially where you
- 22:14Speaker 1: scurry up a 90 or 60 foot pole and free
- 22:17Speaker 1: fall down. So the first one to the top and
- 22:19Speaker 1: down wins. He also grew up log rolling, which is
- 22:23Speaker 1: where two people fight to stay on top of a
- 22:25Speaker 1: red cedar log. And the first one in the water loses.
- 22:29Speaker 1: He taught me to log roll as a little girl.
- 22:31Speaker 1: I have a video to show you guys what it
- 22:32Speaker 1: looks like. I think I actually have a picture first. Oh,
- 22:35Speaker 1: we can look at the video. I'm not a champion,
- 22:39Speaker 1: world champion log roller. I just know how to log roll.
- 22:43Speaker 1: This is kind of what it looks like. You guys
- 22:45Speaker 1: can see. You're not allowed to cross that white line
- 22:50Speaker 1: in the middle. If you're listening on Spotify or Apple,
- 22:53Speaker 1: I just encourage you to look it up on the internet.
- 22:55Speaker 1: It's a very unique sport, but a lot of fun.
- 23:05Speaker 1: And it's a best, you know, it's a best of,
- 23:08Speaker 1: you know, so it's not one and done. Yeah, anyways,
- 23:15Speaker 1: that's what log rolling looks like. For some context, you
- 23:17Speaker 1: can see I have a picture. That was from that competition.
- 23:19Speaker 1: It was a very cool picture. It was a very fun,
- 23:21Speaker 1: fun match. Anyway, in middle school, I moved from northern
- 23:26Speaker 1: to central Wisconsin, and there was no log rolling program
- 23:29Speaker 1: in my area. So in high school, I lobbied my
- 23:31Speaker 1: local YMCA to buy a synthetic log that could go
- 23:35Speaker 1: in the pool. And I started then a log rolling
- 23:38Speaker 1: program where I taught lessons for free to kids. And
- 23:42Speaker 1: one of my students who I taught how to log
- 23:43Speaker 1: roll was a boy named Marcus Hynek, who this weekend
- 23:47Speaker 1: won the men's log rolling world champion title. And I
- 23:52Speaker 1: could not be prouder of him. I wish I had
- 23:54Speaker 1: a video of his role. I don't have a video,
- 23:55Speaker 1: but I do have this incredible, incredible picture. And so again,
- 24:00Speaker 1: Major congratulations to him. I'm so proud of him. I'm
- 24:04Speaker 1: so glad I started that little log rolling program. It's
- 24:06Speaker 1: an amazing Wisconsin tradition that's being carried on, which I love.
- 24:12Speaker 1: You guys, the Midwest is a really beautiful place. It's
- 24:14Speaker 1: where some of the kindest people in America live. I
- 24:17Speaker 1: really believe that. I know I'm from there, but there's
- 24:20Speaker 1: really something special about that part of the country. Yeah,
- 24:24Speaker 1: it's cold, but the traditions and the values are truly
- 24:28Speaker 1: unique and beautiful. And that's why the framing that Tim
- 24:32Speaker 1: Walz is this folksy, Midwestern, lovable guy, it really gets
- 24:36Speaker 1: to me. Because I know Midwestern values. They're really all
- 24:40Speaker 1: I've ever known. And Tim Walz does not share those values.
- 24:44Speaker 1: The people I grew up with look out for their neighbors.
- 24:48Speaker 1: They don't snitch on them for disobeying government lockdown orders.
- 24:52Speaker 1: The people I grew up with don't look fondly upon
- 24:54Speaker 1: the communist Chinese regime that massacred peaceful freedom of speech
- 24:59Speaker 1: protesters in Tiananmen Square. Those aren't Midwestern values. That's something else.
- 25:04Speaker 1: That's something I don't recognize. So the media can tell
- 25:08Speaker 1: us that Tim Walz is folksy all at once, but
- 25:12Speaker 1: I'm not buying it. Tim Walz is a sympathizer of communism,
- 25:19Speaker 1: and his Marxist and liberal policies do not reflect the
- 25:22Speaker 1: people that I grew up around. All right, that's it
- 25:26Speaker 1: for today. I'm so grateful to you all for tuning in.

- 25:41Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
- 25:43Speaker 3: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
- 25:46Speaker 3: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
- 25:49Speaker 3: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
- 25:52Speaker 3: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue. That is it.
- 25:57Speaker 3: This is not a football game. If you vote, we
- 26:00Speaker 3: will win. It is not complicated.
