It'll be on CNN with Dana Bash. That's Dana, by the way, not Dana. Most people pronounce it Dana. She decided to pronounce it Dana. Dana Bash. - Here we go with the pronunciation of the public. - Is it racist? Is it racist to pronounce her name wrong, too? Or does it not count 'cause she's white? It could be sexist, racist. I'm not sure what type of isst or phobia or whatever. - I'm gonna go with xenophobic on this one. - Yeah, yeah, that fits, you know. They'll find a way to spin it back. Oh, they're talking Dana Bash. - Okay, we'll see. We also gotta get to a couple of other stories, including Lowe's and Harley Davidson and Levi's in the world of DEI and Culture Wars as more companies abandoning DEI initiatives. They're interesting. I wonder how that's gonna play out. We'll get to that in a moment, but let's get to some of the other stories of the day and the news, time for Don Stensland, Big Three at 906. - It's the Big Three and nine on Kieling Company. (upbeat music) - Sponsored by Piazza Autogroup this morning. So backlash in Bucks County and in the burbs, backlash in the burbs as school district parents, Democrats, are demanding the resignation of one Bill Formica, William Formica, who we've talked about, that he resigned his position, they say, because he made some misogynistic posts on Twitter that they say were inappropriate. I will say this, that he immediately deleted the one comment he made about Kamala, which was a while back, deleted it, they screenshotted it, they're after him and sang, this guy's gotta go, but in truth, and as they're having meetings this week, in truth, this is political, this is all political, and these are Democrats going after Bill Formica on the school board there. - And this is, Satterton or a prophecy? - Oh, Satterton. - That's what I thought, okay, yeah. Well, I mean, he shouldn't have to lose his job over, because you're right, it is political. If it was a Democrat posting on social media, something vile about Donald Trump, odds are they keep their job, I hate to sound like Stocker here, but again, if you're a teacher, and it's really not your lane to be issuing political statements as somewhat, I don't even wanna call him a public figure, but as a public employee, so to speak, was it worth it? Was it worth, I mean, I guess hindsight being 2020, he probably would take it back, although I kind of would applaud him if he says, you know what, no, I don't take it back, I stand by what I said. - No, he immediately deleted the one, and he was saying that at the time, this was, 'cause people were questioning the Vib Kamala Harris, her qualifications, and he said that she bleeped a lot of dudes, that was the comment that got everybody's attention, and she bleeped a lot of dudes so you can imagine what the bleep word was, it's a sex act, right? To give oral gratification, if you will, compliments to a lot of guys, to get ahead. That's the implication here, and so they said it was lewd, it was inappropriate, unprofessional, et cetera, et cetera. I don't think there's a rule against, because he does have First Amendment rights, but he is the director of their school board, and so, to your point-- - When you have the title, you gotta be more careful, right? - You know, he needs a brand manager like our own Greg Stalker to say, "Bill, stay off the Twitter." - Yeah, you're right, absolutely. - Everything needs to be on Twitter. - Thank you, that's the message. By the way, speaking of social media, is your YouTube down, all I'm seeing is that we're in commercial. We don't, I don't see you or myself for sure. - Really? - What are we doing? - Yeah, we're having some technical details. - Okay, all right. - Are we being shadow banned again? - YouTube hang by, get on to the Odyssey app if you're not able to see anything. - I see us on YouTube now. - Oh, you do? - Okay. - I think I do. - All right, well, anyway. - Unless it's running behind, we'll see. - It could be. - It says 909 AM, yeah, we're good. - Okay. - We're up. - So-- - Maybe it's concussed. (laughing) - So we'll talk about that. We may have a guest calling in just to give us the latest about Director Formica's situation there. But he did, for the record, he did issue an apology. He did, you know, the tweet in question, he did delete it and apologize. - Okay. - And said it was not, you know, professional. - Yeah. - And that he apologized and regretted it. - Right. - So there's that going on. - Okay. - And that's the apology enough. - I just hate apology culture. It's like, you know, stand by what you said, own it, you know, and even if you apologize to your family, 'cause that's the thing that really matters, right? Like, it's not so much about apologizing to the school board or to other people. It's, you know, a guy that's, you know, probably living paycheck to paycheck, like the rest of us, that has to go home and then ultimately apologize to, you know, possibly the wife and kids, you know, daddy blew the paycheck the whole bit. So like I get that, but this whole public apology tour is just so nauseating to live through. - It's, you know, are you ready to cancel culture? - Are you sorry that you, like, said something that you actually think is offensive? Or are you sorry that it had a negative impact on your life? - Right. - You know? - Right. - 'Cause that's a lot of the reasons why people apologize isn't because they actually think they did something wrong. It's because, you know, they lost the paycheck, right? So in that regard, you're not really sorry for what you said or how it made somebody feel. And we could argue about the sensitivity and, you know, everybody getting all carried away about things, but a lot of people will apologize because it had a negative impact on them. - Yeah. - Not on whomever is claiming to be offended. So it's not even a genuine apology in the case. - Right. And, you know, he could always call into us and go by the name of Gus in Sellersville, say the same thing and be okay. - Right. - His apology included the words. He said he apologized. It was misguided, inappropriate, the tweet or tweets about Kamala Harris and said that she was a national figure and he was expressing some kind of frustration, apparently, but he did say it was misguided and inappropriate and he did apologize, and especially for those because they voted for him. They voted him into, you know, represent the school board leadership. Now, apparently, his, you know, a lot of his supporters have come out and this is pretty consistent since we've been reporting on this issue, that they've come out, number one, and they've said that this guy, as far as managing the money and the dollars, because obviously, these school boards have a lot of power, as far as your property taxes and really keep, you know, holding an even keel, as far as looking at how the money is distributed. And they say, actually, it's a lot of work and then he puts that work in and that he's dedicated. And they're calling this a political witch hunt that this is all political. I will tell you that this school board in particular and they have very good schools here, they're the one Republican stronghold, this board, the one Republican stronghold. And so it's many saying, geez, this is unfortunate that, you know, this occurred and please don't tweet anymore. - Right, but the good news is though, yesterday, Athens told us that Bucks County now has officially more registered Republicans and Democrats. - Yeah, thank you, Scott Pressler. - Yes, exactly. - That guy is unbelievable. - Yeah, he's a sweetheart, but he's on the work ethic. Like nobody else I've ever seen. - We don't have to do a poll question. Who has better hair, stalker, ferris, or Pressler? - Pressler's hair is-- - Well, my hair's gone now. I cut it, you know, we're not looking at it. - No, wait a minute, wait a minute. - It's down, it's not down to the shoulders now. - Let me see this, I got my-- - That's a school haircut. - I got a pull up YouTube on my laptop because my monitor-- - A lot of people say I look tremendous, by the way. A lot of people say I look beautiful. A lot of people say it's the handsome, it's a wonderful thing. - I got tired of it, it was bothering me. And it was, it's like cutting. - I've never seen you-- - It's not totally short. - But I've never seen you with a hat off. Or is your hat off right now? Because if it is, I'm behind on delay. - No, my hat's on. - Okay. - Hats on. - Do you wanna take it off for the audience and show us without the hat? - I'm making it off. - So now I'm stripping. Now I'm stripping on the radio. - What is this, is this only fans? All right, we'll do it, let's go. You're gonna start throwing money at me now? What I-- - Here's what? - Here's what we'll do. - You take off your hat, I'll take off my flip flops. - I'll take your hat off. - It's not like short, short, but it's no longer, you know, we don't have homeless hair at this point. (laughing) I agree with Peter M in the chat, says Sean has great hair. Appreciate you, Peter, smartest person in the chat. - Oh, there it is. - Oh, you got a nice hat on the lettuce, man. You should show it off. - Lettuce, yeah. - That's the hat, it's all about the hat. No, the hat is in there because when the headphones sit atop the head, sometimes it holds on to there when I take it off, it hurts. - I have no idea how you and Don do it with hair. - I was just about to say, you know, he's like, you don't really have that problem. - No, I'm an earbud guy, yeah. - Number two, warplanes and not women, lonely Middle Eastern guys who turn to the popular dating app Tinder, wow, they got quite an eyeful with Centcom posting the message on the popular dating app, and this was in Lebanon today. US Central Command is fully prepared and ready with F-16 fighting Falcons and A-10 Tudor Bolt supersonic fighters currently in the region, the ads posted in Arabic along with photos of these warplanes, and so warnings that do not take up arms against the United States and its partners. - So they're, I'm trying to process it. So they're using Tinder as a communication mode for intentions not to find women. What's going on here? - They're using, so in other words, the allegation here, the look here, is that Centcom, US Central Command, and we've seen this propaganda, you know, from, you know, dropping flyers or whatever in war, but what they're doing is they're trying to get inside the heads of anybody who might take up arms as tensions are rising in the Middle East. - Yeah, yeah. - You know what I'm saying? - Yeah, I got that, so what does Tinder have to do with this? - Because they're, they figured that men would go on a dating app to look at women. - Before they go to war? - But they're, so they're running ads to say don't do it. - Okay, do you know what I mean? I don't, I don't know, this is not your fault though, I'm assuming either my fault or I don't understand or the story's just bizarre. So, so dudes go on Tinder and Lebanon to look for chicks, but now they'll get hit with a message of a warning? Is that the takeaway? - Yeah, basically they are, you know, basically the, the Centcom is America. - Yes. - Our government. - Yep, got that part. - It puts out, puts out the word to say to anybody who wants to take up arms. - Uh-huh. - Against-- - I kinda like that actually. - For this government, for our government? Hey, Lebanon, while you're scrolling and swiping left and right looking at hot Lebanese broads, get ready 'cause we're coming for you. (laughing) Right? That's my observation. - Hey, for once they're, for once they're scioping our enemies and not, you know, messin' with us. I mean, I'm sure they're still messin' with us, but it's nice to see them actually doing, you know, it kind of reminds me of your watch Homeland, that show. That was a great show. - Yes. - Was it good? I'm actually catching up on, I'm binging Stranger Things right now. We're on the season, season three. - What a show that was, but Homeland is an old showtime show. - Okay. - And it was phenomenal, really good. The middle season's not so much, but the first two. - Yeah. - And the last season and a half. - Yeah. - Fantastic. - And by the way, just some hot middle Eastern chicks in America. You ever see a nice, beautiful Lebanese lady? Man. - Are you married? - I am, but I can still, you know, give credit to where credit to do. Gotta go home and fold my underwear. - I love it. - Roll it. Trust me, it takes up less space. - Number three, I'll go, and we are sponsored by Piazza Otter Group this morning. Number three, I will go to the latest health warnings. So a couple of 'em. Do you know what? We've heard of this sloth disease warning, these diseases carried by ticks, by mosquitoes, but the latest one is EEE. So this appears-- - So that's the encephalitis. - Yes. The equine encephalitis, and I think that's the one that actually made Dr. Anthony Fauci ill. - Oh, okay. - Okay. - So that triggers the West Nile. - So this is EEE. So all of these different diseases and all of these warnings are being, you know, ramped up across America as, right, I know, right? - I'm so sick of it. (laughs) - Yes, there's gonna be flu. Yes, there's gonna be COVID. Yes, there's gonna be this. And we're not going back. - So that's sloth pox now? Is that what we have? - So there's, so that's one of 'em. - Okay. - And that one didn't really go anywhere for whatever reason. - Yep. - But now we have, this week, the newest one is the EEE, the Eastern equine encephalitis. - Yep. - And in here on the East Coast, and I know that Massachusetts health officials and others on the East Coast, say they're watching out for this because this disease has been detected in several states. It is spread by mosquitoes, ticks, other critters that might bite you. - Right. - And so New York State Department, they're announcing this, that they found it in horses. So they're testing for it, but there were no human cases confirmed in New York as of last night, Vermont as well. So it's making its way, and I always just watch for these kinds of things. - Yeah, I'm not. - 'Cause we inch toward election day. - I'm tracking a list now. I've got sloth pox, we've got M pox, we've got a M pox, we've got EEE, we've got COVID, we've got the flu, anything else that we can put on the radar. I'm gonna go shopping for vaccines today. - All I'm gonna say is if it's in New York and they track it in horses, Tim Wall's better to stay out of New York. - Oh. (laughing) - Because, you know, because there's rumors. I'm just saying. - I know what mental illness looks like. (laughing) - Sloth pox, I don't know if that spreads the same way as monkey pox, maybe we should ask Pete Buttigetch. - Oh. - Oh, oh, oh, oh. - Boot edge, eh. - Has to do it. - Boot edge edge. He has an unpronounceable name. It's boot edge edge. - So former, you know, former NIAID director, Anthony Fauci, is still recovering at home from one of these, I forget, if it's, is it West Nile? - West Nile, I think that's what he had. - 'Cause EE is apparently like serious, like very, like West Nile serious, but EE is like, you could, it's bad. - Yep. - Man, these mosquitoes, they carry a lot of diseases. Maybe we should look into their autoimmune system. - Well, maybe we should stop doing what Bill Gates does and releasing GMO mosquitoes. - Right? - You know, they tried doing this whole thing where we're gonna release all the male mosquitoes and they're not gonna bite the people and it's gonna control the population. So this is just like as asinine as it was when they said, you know, having no symptoms is having a symptom of COVID. They're like, we're gonna release, get this. You're not gonna see this one coming. We're gonna release more mosquitoes so that there are less mosquitoes. - Yeah. - Whoever thinks that these people are geniuses needs their heads examined. - You know what? I'm not gonna come back to the studio on Tuesday. It's too dangerous. - Yeah. - I'm gonna go remote for the rest of the year. - Robot mosquitoes, what could possibly go wrong? - There you go. - It's not too much. - This is perfectly fine. - This is which says, hey, Piazza Autogroup sponsors are big three, the dream days are here.

By the way, I'm getting comments on hot Middle Eastern natives. I'll give you a prime example. Who was Trump's attorney in New York? What's her name? Elena Haba. - I am. - Yeah? - Haba Haba. - Her rock native. - This is the Kaling Company podcast from Dark Radio 1210WPHD and on the free Odyssey app. - I'm Sally Helm with the podcast History This Week. In each episode, we serve as your eyes and ears and history's biggest events and the lesser told stories. Ones you might not even know happened. Find History This Week on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. - We know that Kamala Harris will sit down with Tim Walls and will sit down with Dana Bash and it'll air tomorrow night for the first time on CNN at nine o'clock. What are the people saying about the latest revelations as far as interviews go after the news came down late in the afternoon yesterday? Well, we're about to find out. It is time for a Wednesday edition of What's on the Cut Sheet Part 2. What's on the Cut Sheet? - I do. - All right, part two, I gotta tell ya. I think Scott Jennings is probably the only reason you should ever turn on CNN. He's that good and he just calls it right down the middle just the way he sees it, which I give him credit for. And I actually give, I'll see you in a little bit of credit for actually putting on a Republican and getting a guy in there to break it up with all the monotony and the boringness that is Anderson Cooper and Aaron Bernad and Caitlin Collins and Wolf Blitzer and all these low energy men and women. This is clip number 25. Let's go to this one as Scott Jennings just lays in the Kamala Harris who finally has emerged from the interview shadows. Listen and watch clip 25. - Is there the line now gonna be, well, why isn't she doing it by herself? - Yeah, I do think people are gonna bring that up. Look, I have great confidence in Dana and CNN to do this. I think it's incredibly weak. Weak sauce to show up with your running mate. The fact that they don't have enough confidence in her to let her sit herself, the actual top of the ticket and do a single interview. In fact, I think the hand ringing and the generations over this, over the last month, show a troubling lack of confidence in her political ability, which also makes you wonder as a voter, well, what kind of president would you be if this kind of a small time decision, can we do an interview or not? What does that look like for your decision-making process? So on, yes, I think Republicans are gonna think it's pretty weak to show up with effectively someone to take up half the time. - Sean Ferris, I think weak sauce is a great way to describe this first interview. And I don't think it even needs to be Republicans or Trump supporters. I mean, if you were just objectively looking at this from a nonpartisan perspective, you would say it's been six weeks, she hasn't done an interview, but she needs to sit down with her running mate with a softball interviewer in a tape setting on a holiday weekend with a lady who's known for only going after Republicans. It doesn't project strength in my opinion. - It definitely doesn't. And you know what the talking point is gonna be from, you know, the Kamala HQ and the Crasson Steens on Twitter to go, wow, you wanted to do an interview, you got one. It's like, huh, we didn't think that when we were saying, please do an interview that we would have to specify, do it by yourself, because we thought that would be, you know, that would be pretty much understood that when you do an interview with the media, you don't have somebody holding your hand and feeding you Doritos in between each question, right? So it's, he's right. Jennings is right, but are Democrats and left-leaning independents gonna see that? Are they gonna agree with him? Hopefully they do and say, you know, he's got a point, but I feel like it's gonna be spun that while they're go Republicans, they're moving the goalposts, you know, even though it's, you know, we thought the goalposts are pretty much understood. You sit down with a reporter, usually you're on your own. Now, on the other side, I do believe Trump and Vance have done some joint interviews, you know, in the past as well, but they've also proven that they can do interviews by themselves. Are we gonna ever get Kamala Harris by herself? Are we gonna ever get Kamala Harris live by herself, not pre-taped because that, in my opinion, is what the American people need to see. How can your presidential candidate, how can your presidential nominee handle herself when being questioned live without the benefit of a teleprompter or an editor, you know, before the interview airs? And I don't think this is an unreasonable ask, but they are gonna spin it and say, well, you guys are moving the goalposts, you wanted the interview and now you're still not happy. You know, that's what they're gonna do. You know, Don, I've ruled out the possibility of Tucker Carlson getting a one-on-one with Kamala. I've ruled out the possibility of Kamala sitting down on the Joe Rogan podcast. But what about the Breakfast Club? With Charlemagne the God, his radio show. Now, he's a Democrat, but he's been critical of the Biden-Harris administration. Why not sit down with him for a commercial free hour on his show and just let him pick her apart with question after question and not be given advanced warning? And like, if you can't come up with an answer to what you're gonna do with the border, how the hell can you protect the border? - Yeah, remember he was, I believe it was on Charlemagne's show in New York where he was interviewing her and asked about has she ever toked or smoked weed? And then that's when she said, well, you know, I am half Jamaican as my dad's side. And then her father, the Marxist- - I'm Stanford economist, Stanford emeritus professor, was issued that scathing statement that said, how dare you and this is a bad look for our family, et cetera. But that, so Charlemagne is somebody who Kamala knows well, but he's somebody who does a long form interview and asks questions like that, much like Joe Rogan does. You know what I mean? He's gonna ask the zinger question, that's how she gets herself into trouble. - Yeah, and I'm officially extending the invite to Kamala Harris and her campaign right now. We've interviewed Donald Trump. He's been on with us. We had him on May 10th for about 10 minutes. Would love more, but I know he's got a lot going on. Same thing with Kamala Harris. I'm officially extending the invitation to you. Come here and tell my audience. This is the number one show on the number one station in the entire company for Odyssey nationwide. Come speak to people and tell us what your policies are. Tell us what you're gonna do with the border. Tell us what your stance is on the economy. Tell us what you're gonna do with World War III on the precipice. You have an official seat here on Kaling Company on Talk Radio 1210WPHT. I said all that for nothing because there's zero chance in hell so I ever appear. But I'm putting the offer out. I wanna be on record and say that. We'll have her on. I'll talk to her. - Sure. - She's not gonna talk to us. - Yeah, that's fine. - Because we're not predictable and they don't, that's the real issue here, that they want that predictability. They want the safe spot. - By the way, Charlemagne, one of Charlemagne the gods, one of his sayings on social media, nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining. - Mm, very interesting. So one last thing, by the way, I wanna just get your guys' thoughts on this because I thought this was interesting. So we were told that Kamala would only do the interview on ABC. I don't know why that was a thing and then it becomes CNN. But we're also told that the debate will go on as scheduled rules-wise based on the same setup and format as June 27th, when Trump basically retired Joe Biden. Do we really believe, and Trump posted this on Truth Social, saying that the ABC debate on September 10th, the questions will not be given in advance to either side. Do we really believe that ABC will not give Kamala Harris the prep in advance? Because I have my doubts. You can say, I'm cynical or you can say, "Oh, you're spot on, you have every right to believe that." I find it hard to believe that Kamala Harris is gonna go into that debate on September 10th, not knowing where ABC is going. Sean Ferris, do you trust ABC to keep it on the up and the up? - No, I don't trust ABC. They're owned by Disney. I don't trust Disney with anything. And I definitely don't trust anything. Anything anyone says on the left, that's where ABC resides. They're gonna put up this facade as we're not gonna do this. She's not gonna have the questions in advance. This is somebody who two days ago was demanding that she brings notes out onto the debate stage. So she's gonna have some sort of knowledge of what's going to be asked so that it can be rehearsed because the job of the mainstream media is not to be objective. The job of the mainstream media, if that's what it's supposed to be. But the job of the mainstream media right now is to cover for Democrats and to prop up Democrat politicians. And that's exactly what they're gonna do. - Don, do you trust ABC? - Of course not. - Okay, I'm just checking. - No, and I think George, what do you call him, Stephen Olafakis or whatever, Stephen Olafos. I mean, he's-- - Stephen Olafakis. - Stephen Olafakis. - Yeah, I mean, the thing about it is with Jonathan Carl, who's so nasty. - He's not easily precious. - He's actually nastier than George. I want, you know, I'd rather have George in there. By the way, Trump has come back and said, "Yeah, of course, I'll be at the debate." September 10th. - All right, let's get to clip 13. It's been a while since we've talked about hope and change and joy. JD Vance has got it figured out as to why there's so much joy for Kamala, clip 13. - Are you better off than you were four years ago? - No. - The only person in America who could possibly answer yes to that question is probably Kamala Harris herself. She went from getting no votes for president and having to drop out to getting no votes for president and becoming the Democrat nominee all without lifting a finger. No wonder Kamala is joyful. Now, never mind the fact that Americans can't afford groceries, Kamala got her promotion. Never mind that our fellow citizens can't afford their rent 'cause Kamala, she's having fun. And never mind that Kamala Harris is on the cusp of running us into World War III. Kamala will laugh all the way to the bank while her donors get rich and we know it's not gonna be her family's sacrifice and to pick up the mess. - JD Vance, once again, spot on doing a great job in the public eye, almost on a daily basis. I think he's been very, very impressive and honestly, other than the childless cat lady stuff, they don't have much on him. They can try to swing for the fences but they're not gonna really pick apart JD Vance. He's very buttoned up. He's very good in the public eye. He's a great speaker. I will say this and this is a question on strategy because the media and the Democrats have tried to say this is about joy versus the angry, bitter guy, right? And for whatever it's worth, probably to some extent, they've been able to sell that and that's passed, the sniff test to the oblivious voter out there, the person who tuned into the DNC for all of one night for all of 13 minutes and was like, oh man, look at her giggling, having a great time. This is, I just wanna be able to laugh and enjoy my life. Do you think they need to pivot here for, not only the debate, obviously for the debate, but for this interview. I don't know that Kamala can sit down with Dan Abash and Tim Walls and be, you know, funny, duddy, lollygagging around giggling, making little side comments and jokes. If I'm advising her, like if I took off my radio hat and put on my James Carville, David Axelrod hat, I would say and advise her, she needs to be super, super serious. The time for giggling is over. You can get back to that after Labor Day and then you get serious for the debate and then you can get back to it again from September 11th up until the election. But I would argue, strategy-wise, she needs to come off almost boring on Thursday. Do you guys agree with that or do you think the giggles can still work? - I agree with it and I'll tell you why, because this is the criticism that we used to hear about Donald Trump all the time, right? Oh, he's not, what's the word they use? Presidential, right? Because he has fun on stage because he jokes, because, you know, he makes it, you know, a little lighter, right, it's unconventional, right? I think the joy thing is fine. You wanna have a good time, that's no problem. But she has to appear presidential because if you have to sit down at a negotiating table with Vladimir Putin and you're giggling, what do you think he's gonna do, right? Is that gonna help you on the world stage? Are you gonna giggle with Iran when you're negotiating peace deals in the Middle East or trying to, you know, do a ceasefire? And if you start cackling and having a joyous occasion with, you know, with leaders from Hamas and Hezbollah and, you know, trying to settle the Russia Ukraine conflict, no, you've got to, you have to appear presidential and strong. You wanna do this on the campaign trail with your voters, no issue. But is she gonna try? I think she is gonna try and push the vibes through the interview, because I think she knows she's probably not gonna get pushed back if she doesn't come off as serious, so we'll see. - Yep, well said. - All right, last clip. I wanted to play this because I saw this. I think this was over the weekend. Now the apology has come forward and like I'm not gonna be a hypocrite. I do hate apology culture. Say something, stand by it, own it. But I also hate the fact that there's this hypocrisy on the left, that anybody, if you call out Joe, remember when we were calling out Joe when he would screw up his speeches and we would say, oh, the cognitive decline and then they would, no, no, Joe's always had this lisp and Joe's always had this stutter and we would get criticized for that. Well, what's the excuse for when people on the left, like on CNN, mock RFK Jr, who's got a very serious vocal disability called spasmodic dysphonia. Look it up, it's a totally legit thing and that's why he sounds the way he does. So CNN had to make an apology about this. This is clip 16, boys, as CNN apologizes for making light of RFK's verbal and vocal disability. - The director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, our old friend Larry Savido and Republican strategist Doug High. Guys, thanks to both of you. Doug, let me hear here in the studio. Let me go to you first. I mean, this debate over the debate, it just sounds kind of hokey as a thing to say, coming out of my mouth. I mean, this debate is going to happen, right? - Well, let me say first that you talked about RFK. Last week, I was on this network and I made a joke about the way he speaks, which is totally out of bounds and I just want to acknowledge that and apologize for him. His ideas, totally in bounds, how he speaks differently. But to your question, about the debates. - All right, so look, I get it. He's painful to listen to. I get it every time I play the clip, I just expect anytime we air anything of RFK, I'm going to get a tweet saying it's painful to listen to. I totally get that. It's absolutely right, it is painful. Elon Musk also painful to listen to as well. But I hate the hypocrisy, Sean, of, you know, the left is the first one to say, what's off limits? And they always violate their own rules. You know, I'm against the apology culture, but give me consistency. That's the thing that matters most to me. - Yeah, I think you're right. We need consistency. We need objectivity back. We need to remove the bias from the mainstream media. It's not going to happen on CNN, but the fact that, you know, you prefaced it with everybody making Joe Biden's verbal issues and saying that that's out of bounds from the beginning. And now, you know, you can go after RFK. And the only reason, if RFK endorsed Kamala Harris, they never would have made fun of Harris. - Of course. - Of course. - Never, never. But because they, because he endorsed their political opponents, they came out and slammed them. And what do they do, right? He comes out, he says what he says, we go a few days, and then he comes back and apologizes. This is what the left always does. They throw whatever it is out there, whether it's appropriate or not, and then they come back and say, well, yeah, yeah, we never should have said that. We never should have said it. Well, if you never should have said it, why did you say it? It's a one thing if you make a mistake here or there. But these are no longer just oopsie mistakes. There's an agenda and there's a, it's systematic. This is what they always do, right? Look at Hunter Biden. Look at the Facebook situation we just talked about yesterday, right? For four years, no, there's no censorship online. It's not, it's not an issue. You guys are conspiracy theorists. Now Zuckerberg is like, oh, by the way, you were all right. But everyone doesn't care about that because there's bigger fish to fry now. - That's right. - You see, this is what they do. - Well, we also just talked about, you know, locally, somebody who's a Republican on directing a school board and made some tweets that he, you know, it pretty, pretty quickly erased, realized his error, did issue an apology, but they're not letting it go a month or so later. And they want him to resign and they're making it a big thing. So why is it that when somebody on the left does to me, to your points, they're forgiven? Oh, well, they apologize. - Well, the judge, the left likes to be the judge, the jury and the executioner. And they'll tell you when they've had their pound of flesh and then they move on to the next object. All right, coming up next, we'll find out what's on tap for the Dawn show and what occurred today in music history. Kaling Company back after this. - It's Kaling Company on demand from talk radio 1210WPhD and the free Odyssey app. - Dawn show is up in eight minutes and we find out what she has up at 10 o'clock this morning. - Yeah, so we'll update you on everything happening locally. There's a pre-school board meeting rally that's upcoming. We'll talk about that locally and attacking a Republican school board director. So we'll update you on all of that. We'll have a little bit of an update on the late, great and murdered Sergeant Fitzgerald, Temple University, what's going on with that one as well. But then we'll take you nationally. There's so much breaking with Trump, what's going on with Jack Smith, not so special Jack Smith. Oh my goodness, it just never ends. The hour by hour breaking news that we're gonna be covering throughout the day today. - That's a good thing too, because I like it like that. Makes our job easier. - Well, I mean, I'm one hand though, I will say I hope that people are paying attention. Because part of this is that people will get distracted. And if you zoom out and look at all of this in total and think about what we now know, what we know today that we did not know four years ago, eight years ago, and I hope everybody considers that. - There you go. All right, 952, let's find out what occurred today in music history. ♪ What happened on this day in music history ♪ ♪ Music history is created in a cable company ♪ - Today August 28th, we celebrate the birthdays of Steve Whiteman from Kix, who's now 68.
