ant conservatives to even have a message. But then when they invite them on, they talk over them. I mean just grossly talk over them so they can't say a thing. Now you could argue that same thing happens if a liberal goes on a conservative show. There might be the same thing. But my larger point is that the traditional media is a talk-over media. Here's my summary: traditional media is about talk…

lked about it, and then he bookended it by talking about light. But the other experts didn't know he was talking about light or missed that point, and they talked about other things. He never talked about anything but light.

That was the idea, and that was actively being tested when Trump talked about it. And then the news turned it into drinking bleach. And then years later CNN still reports it like it's news.

And he probably wants her to lose because honestly if I were running for president and I got replaced, I would want my replacement to lose so that I could always say, you know, yeah I was a little behind in the polls but I had a chance of coming back. You replaced me with an idiot. I mean she's sort of a...

can't say her name right. And they've already come down on the point that if you can't say her name right you're probably a racist or a sexist. But it turns out that one of her big supporters, Bruce Springsteen, also known as The Boss, calls her "Kala." So do at least half of the black supporters that anybody talks to on the street. As do maybe 25 percent of one of the supporters of hers that show…
