Get Off My Lawn! - The Mad Ramblings of a Gen X-er
Voting for Kamala? Just Remember 'Joy' Don't play the bills!
Can the media's obsession with political figures and their outrageous rhetoric shape how we perceive reality? We challenge conventional narratives surrounding former President Donald Trump, examining the extreme reactions from media outlets and personalities like Whoopi Goldberg. With the upcoming election on the horizon, we grapple with the potential geopolitical implications under different administrations, particularly regarding the China-Taiwan situation. Our discussion highlights the pressing need for calm and rational discourse in a politically charged environment, as we assess the broader impact these narratives have on society's behavior and political engagement.
The second half of our episode tackles the contentious debates surrounding the Biden administration's approach to governance and its implications on individual freedoms. We express our frustration with the current political leaders, scrutinizing their roles in the issues we face today, such as free speech and gun rights. The conversation is a candid critique of government control over media and social platforms, with a spotlight on the importance of safeguarding First and Second Amendment rights. We emphasize the necessity of prioritizing competence over charisma in political candidates, urging voters to focus on solutions to economic hardships. This episode serves as a wake-up call for voters to prioritize effective problem-solving over likability at the polls.
What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to. It is now dumber for having listened to it. You don't know what that ought to is, mr Trash. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too fucking blind. If I were the man I was five years ago.
Speaker 2:I'd take a flamethrower to this place. Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? You want answers. I think I'm entitled. You want answers. I want the truth. You can't handle the truth.
Speaker 2:We've said it once, we've said it before, we've said it a million times the truth shall always set you free. This is Dennis. Get off my lawn the mad ramblings of a Gen Xer. Oh, we're getting closer to the election. You can hear the 60 minutes stopwatch ticking in my head Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, boom.
Speaker 2:Where will this election go? Who is going to be the next president? Are we going to be underneath a communist regime? Are we going to? I love that, because you always see the posts. In a couple days, I'm going to know whether I can afford groceries or if I'm going to go into World War III, and we're going to talk about that, I think, on Friday. Not World War III, but I've been kind of going through some things with China and Taiwan and I've been talking to a couple people who have some knowledge about this situation and gave me some good insight about what the China's thought process might be, with the difference between a Kamala Harris regime and a Donald Trump regime. Listen, right now the left is just freaking bonkers. I mean, they've gone nuts about Donald Trump winning. I love that. This is the view which we always love the view where Whoopi says that Trump's going to break up interracial marriages and deport the woman, but put the white guy, the husband, with somebody else.
Speaker 1:He's not going to be, he's not going to, you know, say oh, you're with a white guy, I'm going to keep you from being deported. No, he's going to deport you and put the white guy with someone else. The man is out there.
Speaker 2:When did he ever say this? I must've missed this. I've seen a lot of his rallies. I've seen a lot of his things on TV. I've never once seen him say he's going to do this. It's lunacy at its finest Now.
Speaker 2:Whoopi Goldberg has always been a little bit somewhere over the crazy rainbow. She's always been there, but to come out, I mean, they are becoming so unhinged about potentially losing that the rhetoric has been dialed up to, like they say in Spinal Tap, but these got to 11. We have dialed the rhetoric up to 11. We wonder why people are taking shots at the former president to try and attempt assassination attempts because of the fact that they, they, they treat him and vilify him like he's the antichrist. I don't get it. And these are, these are supposed to be, the people that are going to be, you know, the ones that are going to save america. They are going to keep us on this righteous path and make sure that everything's taken care of. They've gone fucking bonkers, and all they have to talk about is we have this joyful feeling. We are going to be different. It's. We are not going back. So we're not going to go back to the three and a half, almost four years that you created. We are not going to go back to the high inflation which you created. We're not going to go back to the high inflation which you created. We're not going to fly. We're not going to go back to energy prices. You know, shoot through the roof that you created. We're not going to go.
Speaker 2:You want me to vote for you to fix the problems that you created? That's just garbage. Talking about how Joe Biden thinks about us, but that's what you want us to do. That's what you want us to think. It's crazy. It's crazyville, and I love it to this point. Over and over again. We've always talked about it. We are the party of democracy. This is what we're going to do. We are the. We are the party of democracy. This is what we're going to do. We are. We are going to save the nation. He is going to destroy everyone. Okay, okay. I love this, though, because there was a uh. This just happened today. I got. I got to listen to this. This is funny. This is uh. This is Kamala Harris at a rally in Pittsburgh, PA. Now I'm screwed. Harrisburg, pa, says. Dozen of protesters yelled out slogans Kamala supports genocide, blood on your hands and F you.
Speaker 1:Right now I am speaking. Let me say something. Let me say something we are we are six days out of an election. We are six days away from an election.
Speaker 2:I swear to God she's drunk. If she's not drunk, I don't know what the hell's wrong with this crazy woman. But getting back to the fact, about how they're going to save democracy, kamala Harris and her administration, which is going to be the Biden administration, which is going to be the Obama administration, are going to save democracy. Let's talk about how they're going to save democracy First. They're going to limit your First Amendment rights. That seems like a good plan. They are going to limit your freedom of speech on the internet. They are ones that are going to be the guardians of hate speech, guardians of what they deem to be untruthful. They are going to work closely with the likes of Meta and Zuckerberg, which they already did, and they are going to limit your ability to say things that they deem not to be correct. They are, they are going to. You know, it reminds me of Planet of the Apes. They are going to be guardians of the faith, and you're just going to have to deal with it. They are going to probably try to go back, like they did before under Biden, and have their person that's going to be in charge of all the internet and all speech on the internet. And that woman was a fucking loon and they think that's going to be a good plan. But they know this.
Speaker 2:In any banana republic, in any dictatorship, the first thing you do is control the media. They already have the print media, they already have the regular terrestrial media, and now they're looking to go after what we refer to as a social media. They already have Meta and Facebook in their pocket. They're going to try to control Instagram by banning it because of China. And then they tried to go after Twitter, but of course Elon purchased it and is now X. But here's the problem Now they're just going after Elon Musk, which is crazy to me. You have a guy that is building rockets. You have a guy that's advancing the space program that we killed, but we're going to limit anyone's speech.
Speaker 2:That they did, and again, it's not what is deemed by us as being inaccurate or what is hate speech, because that's the thing about the First Amendment it protects all speech, even the speech that makes you uncomfortable. You can't go we've said it before. You can't go into a crowded movie theater and yell fire, because to me that's not your First Amendment, right? But you have to have the ability to have differences of opinions. They want to control that narrative. They've talked about this. They've talked about this ad nauseum. Then they're going to go after your second amendment rights to bear arms. She's a.
Speaker 2:Glock owner. I still love that interview. Kamala Harris, what kind of gun do you own? Well, I own a Glock, and I've said this before as a gun owner for multitudes of years and a people, someone that goes to the shooting range all the time and someone that has spoken to many people that own handguns. When you ask somebody what's your, what's your favorite gun that you own, I can tell you right now. If you're a person who actually actively fires your firearm, cleans your firearm, understands how to break down your weapon, you don't sit there and go well, my favorite gun is a Glock. No, you will sit there and go. Hey, tim, my favorite gun, oh, it's the Glock 19. It's a Sig Sauer P226. You know, it's the Springfield 1911. You don't just say, well, I own a Glock. That's the bullshit way to get out of it because of the fact you're not really a gun owner.
Speaker 2:But she's talked about gun confiscation. She's talked about that. She ran on that platform for years but all of a sudden now she's a gun owner. She was in law enforcement because she was the prosecutor in San Francisco. She was like fucking Batman. She was riding around in the prosecutor mobile, going out there and fighting crime. You didn't know that I'm batman. She was fucking batman. Or maybe she was fucking batman, because what I keep hearing, what everyone tells us, I like what judge willie brown said you know what kamala used to do? She couldn't get away, she just hiked up her skirt. Hey, oh, but she's batman.
Speaker 2:But she's already talked about gun confiscation. She's already talked about a national registry. She's always talked about these things that they need to do to keep you safe by taking the firearms out of your hands, because we all know law. Law-abiding criminals will not go out and get a handgun illegally. You, they can have guns to protect her. They can have guns to protect her. They can have guns to protect senators, anyone else and their family, but you don't have that right. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2:Then she's talked about this before and Joe Biden's going to continue with the green, new, fake Gas-powered vehicles. Those suckers are going to be gone in 10 years, according to her, and she's going to make it. So you have to buy electric Now. These are the same people that spent $5 billion on electric chargers, that they made three. $5 billion for three. That's a pretty good deal. I can't do the math in my head right now, but $5 billion, that's like $1.6 billion per charger, and one of them is in a garage in New York, like in a basement.
Speaker 2:Let alone the fact that our electrical grid can't handle these types of things. And if you don't believe me, go look about what's happening with the rolling brownouts in California for years, especially in the hot seasons, where they literally tell you don't run your air conditioning, don't go on your washer and dryer, don't do anything between these hours and I love it because the hours were like between 11 PM and 6 AM. So when the hell are you supposed to charge your car? When are you supposed, when are you supposed to do that? Our electrical grid, our infrastructure is not ready for this? Maybe in 30, 40 years, but to force people to buy electric and to force people to buy cars that they can't afford. That's why I just laugh with the truckers union.
Speaker 2:A big rig can cost you anywhere between $90,000 to $150,000. A electrical semi costs you anywhere between $500,000 and above, and I forget how many batteries they have, but these batteries weigh like 8,000 pounds and the problem is with these batteries they are so heavy they limit the range of the vehicle, of the truck itself. When you have a semi and you have two tanks, one on each side, and you fill those tanks as you go. The weight of the vehicle lessens, which then puts less stress on the road and allows you to go further. With these electrical trucks, you may now only be able to drive six hours a day and you have these 16,000 pounds on our roads, on our infrastructure. That can't support the weight of these vehicles, let alone the fact that the truckers can't afford a half a million dollars for a rig. So now you have these batteries that weigh 16,000 pounds, you are limiting your ability to then go from place to place and deliver goods and services on time, because they are going to push a green agenda that we are not ready for. But don't worry, they're all for liberty and justice for all, even though they're the ones that don't really come up with anything in reference to what they're going to do plan-wise. It's just the fact that you can't vote for Donald Trump.
Speaker 2:Then we've talked about eliminating the filibuster. Kamala Harris is all for this taking out the filibuster so they can ram through an abortion agenda, national abortion agenda. Listen, if you want to have an abortion, that's not my business, it's really not. That's your business and you have to make your peace with God with that. It's not for me to decide, but I shouldn't have to pay for it. You should not have taxpayer funded abortions. I say I believe the same thing with birth control I should not be responsible. Women are always like, well, you shouldn't be responsible for my body, it's my body, it's my choice. Okay, then the fact that if that's the case, since I'm a taxpayer, I shouldn't have to be responsible for paying for your birth control, because it's your body, your choice. Go out and afford the $23 a month and fucking do that, but they're going to eliminate the filibuster so they can push through their agenda. That does not have. I mean it's you know.
Speaker 2:You have the likes of people that stood strong against eliminating the filibuster. You really have, and Joe Manchin is gone, but you've got Cinebrand is still there, cinebon, I call her Cinebon. But you're going to reach a point where they may have the votes one day to eliminate the filibuster, which is then going to just drive this nation to such a far left turn that we may never recover. But don't worry, they're going to do it for all the right reasons. Now let's go to the fact that you have some liberals, because they're all for truth and justice and democracy because Trump is a threat against democracy talking about either eliminating the Supreme Court or packing the Supreme Court where more justices to make it more even or give them a liberal advantage.
Speaker 2:So everything our founding fathers worked towards, all that the founding fathers, what they did is everything they outlined in the Constitution they want to destroy because they're about democracy. Right, think about that fact. Think about that for a fact. The people that are saying they're about democracy want to take away your rights and we've learned with COVID that it's easy to take away certain Americans' rights because they want to give up the power to the government, because they don't want to make these choices. That's like people are, like I'm going to vote for Tim Walz because he's the father I've always wanted.
Speaker 2:If that's the father you've always wanted, then you're a fucking nut job and maybe you do need to get some government psychiatric care Because the guy's a nut. He had the police in his state and I find that funny. I just said police state drive around and shoot people with paint guns that were on their porches during COVID. That is something you want to talk about Nazi-esque. That is extremely Nazi-esque. I'm going to shoot them with paint guns and get them back in the house. This guy's a loon. But they're all for fairness and democracy. And then we talk about the fact that we want they want to have their millionaires. We've talked about this. The billionaires have to pay their fair share. Their fair share, they have to pay. We mentioned this a couple weeks ago. There are literally 851 millionaires in the United States and they have more than One million dollars.
Speaker 1:Well, that more than $1 million.
Speaker 2:Well, that's a billion dollars, Dr Ebel, but there's 851. They make up 46% of the current tax revenue in this country. A little over 50% of the people in this country, of the families in this country, don't pay any income tax, don't pay any income tax whatsoever. So the other 54% what happens is that falls on the middle class to make up the rest 150 people paying for almost entirely the entire, almost 50% of the tax revenue in this country. And then you have another 51% that don't pay anything, and that's what we refer to as paying their fair share. In an equal system of democracy, everyone should pay something. In an equal system of democracy, everyone should pay something. Everyone should chip in. You shouldn't have people that work that pay zero and then have people, just because they're better off than you, pay more so those other people can live better.
Speaker 2:They talk about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Talk about how the American dream is no longer a tangible thing. It's no longer reachable. You caused the problem. You caused the issues, kamala. You overheated the economy with the American Rescue Act. You lied about what was in the Inflation Reduction Act, which actually raised inflation and just added to the deficit, because it was all part of the Green New Deal. You created the inflation issue. You created the supply chain issue. You created the fact that people can't afford homes. You created the interest rates on mortgages. You created the gas prices because you decided we don't need to drill anymore, we don't need to explore for energy anymore and we should be energy independent. We should be energy dependent on places like Venezuela. You created this, but for some unknown reason, we have to let you fix it, even though you have no idea what you're doing or have zero plan, because everyone all they said is her ideas are just going to add trillions of dollars onto the deficit that we can't even figure out how to pay. We are right now paying more in interest on our debt than we are bringing in through taxes. Think about that and this was I've said it before you have had in the last 16 years, 12 years controlled by the Democrats.
Speaker 2:The four years of prosperity that we had was under Donald Trump. You can love him, you can hate him, you can say he's an asshole because he's arrogant and all this and that, but you are prosperous. My mortgage rate under Trump was two and a half. You could get a zero interest. Car loan Banks were giving out, not giving out money, but banks were lending money, there was not this huge debt, this crushing credit card debt. And that's what I love.
Speaker 2:When people sit there and say I just can't vote for Trump, I have to vote for Kamala because she's the better choice, because she's about joy. Is joy going to pay your fucking bills? Is joy going to do that? No, you have people now that are making decisions. Do I feed my family or do I make my minimum credit card payment because they needed to use their cards to keep that? We have the largest amount of credit card debt in this nation that we've ever had because of the last three and a half years. But people still flock to these fucking morons because they say I can't vote for Trump because of the things he says and he's arrogant and he's cocky.
Speaker 2:I always loved the person that was on Instagram and she basically said I was going to vote for Kamala until I talked to my father and my father just had surgery, like brain surgery, I believe it was, and she's like you know, how did you pick your surgeon? And they met a couple of surgeons and there was this one that was kind of arrogant, kind of cocky, kind of an asshole kind of thought. He was a know-it-all and the guy, but he was one of the best in the country and his personality his bedside manner turned people off. But her father said I picked him because he was the right choice and he was the best choice. He may not be the nicest person, he may be gruff, but when you're doing something like this and it's your life would you rather have someone that gives you this joy feeling or would you rather have someone that can fix the fucking problem? Vote Trump, because the truth will always set you free. This is Tim. This is Kevin. I'm on the Mad Ramblings of a Gen Xer and I'm out of here.
