In this episode, we talk about why Kamala Harris is the best choice to defeat Donald Trump and why she should be our next president. We also talk about reproductive rights, climate change, and why we should vote for women s issues.
00:08:13.600I don't have any specific examples, but I guess I would venture to say that men with their wives trying to have children and being able to follow through with IVF and to do things like that.
00:08:25.360I want Trump going. I don't want Trump to win.
00:08:27.860I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican. And I'm not an independent.
00:08:31.000But we are human beings, okay? And by being human, he don't act human. Trump do not act human to me.
00:08:38.640So I want him gone. And I'm here to support her 100%.
00:08:45.540To me, the number one thing this election season is that Project 2025 does not get implemented.
00:08:52.780We'll lose NOAA. We'll lose the Department of Education.
00:08:57.020Trump will become a dictator because that's part of Project 2025.
00:09:01.040And if someone hasn't read the highlights and they're voting for Trump,
00:09:04.220they should read the highlights of Project 2025.
00:09:06.820I'm voting for Kamala Harris for all the obvious reasons.
00:09:09.440But what I really think is important is we should acknowledge the Republicans.
00:09:13.320who have decided to place country over party and who might not agree with policies of Kamala Harris
00:09:19.240and are yet moving toward to vote for her. I'm a lifelong Republican, but Trump is the biggest
00:09:24.340reason I'm voting for this. What policies did you not like of Trump? Well, there's, it's very
00:09:28.460difficult to say which policies I didn't like because it's hard to understand what his policies
00:09:31.560actually are. I just want government to stay out of our medical decisions, especially for women.
00:09:36.260What policies are you hoping that she passes in order to get equality? I, there's so many,
00:09:43.320don't know where to begin to be honest with you it's almost everything better benefits for veterans
00:09:49.080and for the lg i just got retirement i would like to see that we try to finish doing something about
00:09:58.600the borders and i think that kamala has a really good plan oh my gosh i don't think there's a number
00:10:04.360one reproductive rights is one but also i just want things to calm down and have some civility
00:10:12.120some intelligence. That's what I'm looking for. I'm just so tired of just all the anger and the
00:10:18.080hostility and the meanness that's been happening. Let me give some more of my opinion. I want Trump
00:10:24.240gone, okay? And I want Kamala Harris to win, okay? And I'm here for them, okay? Donald Trump is the
00:10:31.840reason I'm voting for Harris. I was in the military, ex-veteran, and this is why a lot of
00:10:36.980men died for a Democratic-Republic country, and we're not going to have one if he wins.
00:10:43.760What specific policy do you want to see changed?
00:10:47.900Hatred, envy, jealousy, modesty. And I think she kind of represents a lot of love from her heart.
00:10:56.180And whatever people are holding against her from way back when, I believe that they need to just
00:11:03.480realize people make mistakes we all do we all have but we change but what policy would you like the
00:11:10.280policies is to change well her policies is to come together and save the democracy child care
00:11:31.160for our young families. I would love to see some sort of law passed that would require companies
00:11:38.860that say have over 5,000 employees to provide subsidized child care for their workers. I do,
00:11:46.500I am excited about abortion being available to people again. Democrats don't say you can't have
00:11:54.380an abortion or you can. They're saying everyone gets to make their own choice. Well, the policy,
00:11:59.880you know the right for the production for this right that gotta change it
00:12:09.320should not be what it is right now the border should be fixed that's that's for
00:12:15.900sure but I think then why don't you go Trump if you wanted the border I know
00:12:20.580Kamala will fix that Trump is the reason why the border was bad because he
00:12:24.720He refused to approve the, you know, he told the Democrats not to approve the, you know, what they put together initially to improve the border.
00:12:41.020Is there a specific policy you'd like to see change?
00:12:43.940Term limits should be on politicians all the way up to the Supreme Court.
00:15:58.400And so her being the first lady with the first gentleman, that just shows that women can be everything, but so can men.
00:16:07.460We don't have to put a man in a box, and it gives them liberty to really express themselves how every other man in this country can as well.
00:16:14.400But I'm asking, like, what specific policies, because there are men's issues, right?
00:16:18.720There's, like, for example, like, paternity fraud is a men's issue where men are raising kids that aren't theirs.
00:16:24.920things like that. Like what policies would be appealing to men? You know, I'm married and my
00:16:30.900husband, he's voting for Harris. He kind of votes, he considers himself independent. He voted for
00:16:37.040Trump last time and he's voting for Harris this time. And I think for him, it's about, as my
00:16:42.420friend said, you know, having decency in the White House, but specifically, you know, he's a parent.
00:16:47.720So as a guy with kids, he's concerned that we send our kids to school every day and we don't know if
00:16:53.460they're safe or not we have a daughter who is gay so making sure that everyone who everyone can love
00:17:00.260who they want to love doesn't matter what gender you are or what your preference is so i think
00:17:04.240that that's a man's issue and a woman's issue but i'm asking like specifically issues that just
00:17:09.200affect men and i don't think either side's really doing it but like you know for example we always
00:17:15.260hear like breast cancer awareness or but i've just never heard anything that's like for men
00:17:20.500just just for men just for men nothing to do with women but see I guess I don't see reproductive
00:17:25.860rights being just for women yeah I think that's a really good question because most women's rights
00:17:32.080only come secondary to men's rights men tend to have their rights by default women have to
00:17:38.300scavenge for what they can scrape up and in this case nobody is challenging the rights of men and
00:17:43.740their reproductive choices I hear issues that specifically are for women and I just never
00:17:49.100heard that for men so because men aren't under attack women are sure they're important but
00:17:54.380people are taking care of that that's not under assault like what can't they do so i'll give you
00:18:00.740three issues so one is that men are more likely to be to commit suicide they're more likely to
00:18:06.300have workplace deaths and they're also more likely to be victims of a violent crime but i've never
00:18:12.260heard politicians on either side address that i'd have to look i would have to look at where that's
00:18:17.380coming from but crime is down in the last four years so violent crime is down so to me democrats
00:18:23.620are better on that issue i think when you talk about women's rights women's health for many of
00:18:28.340the issues there's a man involved and so when you talk about all those things it helps make our
00:18:33.700family stronger our economy stronger and helps make relationships stronger what i'm trying to
00:18:38.900get at is i hear policies that specifically benefit women like a woman's right to choose
00:18:43.700i would say that's a woman's issue but i never hear policies that are specifically men's issues
00:18:48.660so an example of an issue that only affects men is paternity fraud that's something that like
00:18:53.460millions of men are paying child support on kids that they don't know aren't theirs every year
00:18:57.860or male suicide is higher than female suicide but i've never heard either politician like
00:19:04.100vie for those votes oh i understand where you're coming from but uh while those issues are serious
00:19:10.900issues for a lot of people you know they wouldn't be high on my list. I don't know that they would
00:19:16.740be particularly high on my issue either. I feel that men already have enough rights so let's
00:19:22.260concentrate more on helping women to make the same amount as men. I know I don't really have anything
00:19:27.940I mean I think being a man especially a white man you don't really need anything you pretty much have
00:19:33.140everything given to us on a platter it seems. Really I disagree because you guys commit suicide
00:19:38.340at the highest rate i think men have it pretty tough you know maybe getting rid of some of the
00:19:42.500toxic masculinity and allowing men to just be who they are no matter what kind of man you consider
00:19:49.220yourself to be they started this country so a lot of people may not know but white men are the most
00:19:55.060likely to commit suicide the most likely to have workplace deaths be victims of a violent crime
00:20:00.420but i've never heard politicians address any of these issues on either side it's so it's hard for
00:20:06.580young men i mean there's a lot of pressure on them to do well and to make money because you know
00:20:12.420america is all about capitalism and making money and getting ahead and i think some young men suffer
00:20:18.500from that so like you're pulling me on the woman card here okay so i think about you know we need
00:20:23.300jobs we need education we're looking at the ability to go to school the ability to buy a home the
00:20:28.900ability to just have the american dream this is for everybody this isn't just a male or a female
00:20:34.580issue so i think that's for everybody so when we try to draw the line you asked me like one thing
00:20:38.900that really got my goat when something got shifted so far away things i fought for when i was a
00:20:43.380teenager that now that i'm older are just gone and i didn't think that could ever happen in this
00:20:48.260country so that's why it's an issue for me because i watch how quickly if we don't pay attention how
00:20:53.700things can just go away so that's why i mentioned that i mean patriarchy like yes i feel like it's
00:21:01.060it's been run by men. I think not only like, yes, they care about men, but it's like things have
00:21:06.620been run by men for so long. I think whether people choose to actually pay attention to this
00:21:13.820issue, I think they'll be more informed. And I feel like, yes, the government or like, I guess
00:21:19.420policy should also represent men and health care issues, mental health issues, whether it's like
00:21:26.580just focusing on men and women i feel like the attention to just mental health should be brought
00:21:33.140up like whether it's for men for women i think mental health matters for everyone so i feel like
00:21:38.260this specific topic mental health it should be addressed for everyone even though stats are like
00:21:43.620men commit more suicide men are more likely to not seek help like these are true like stats so the
00:21:50.580reason i i men's voter turnout is much lower than women and i would hypothesize maybe that's one of
00:21:56.100the reasons why. Do you think mental health is the reason why or why do you? No, I think that
00:22:00.660it's because neither cares about men's issues. So what do you think? I'd like to see paternity fraud
00:22:06.740be criminally prosecuted. Let's go. Sorry. This conversation was okay. No problem. No, I actually
00:22:16.820want to know, aside from the interview, I actually want to know what you think. Men's mental health,
00:22:21.220I think there's a lot of scholarships and opportunities specifically for women. I don't
00:22:25.140see that for men you know i just don't think it's fair that we have all these like um programs for
00:22:29.620us and there's none for men i had a cousin that had a really hard time getting um access to see
00:22:36.100his kid so there's issues that specifically affect men but i never hear the right or the left talk
00:22:41.620about it i just think it's an issue in general yeah i don't think like it's aside from the left
00:22:46.260or the right i think mental health is just an issue period not really politics like to me at
00:22:51.140At least if you're asking me, I think mental health should be taken a lot more seriously.
00:22:55.300Like not even like politics, like just in general.
00:22:57.920Like, yes, there should be more access for men.
00:27:21.260They get offended when I ask. I'm like, well, why would he be a dictator?
00:27:24.280you know one time he made a joke about that one time he made a joke and and that's all he said
00:27:33.160and it was funny because he's got a sense of humor and they have no sense of humor it was right along
00:27:38.220with he was for one day he was going to like start sending people like he's going to be a dictator
00:27:41.980one day and then he was going to drill baby drill that's when he said that drill baby drill he's
00:27:46.620going to make our america back to where take it back to where we were and the other question i
00:27:50.780have what is up with um what was the other one that democracy what else do we get a lot today
00:27:56.300oh he's gonna take democracy away yeah they think he's gonna like how i'm so why do they think that
00:28:01.380is it the same thing the dictator comment no well one they put on him everything that they are doing
00:28:07.480if you think about it oh he's a liar they're he's weird whatever they're a liar they're weird yeah
00:28:12.940it's all the things that come back on what they're doing she wasn't even democracy you wouldn't take
00:28:18.540go so far democratically they did not put her in they just dropped her in she wasn't voted on
00:28:24.400there was nothing demot yeah i should have said that you know it's good sorry but no but as far
00:28:31.100as when it comes to democracy they're not doing it they're not following their own rules and you
00:28:35.460know he's not going to take our guns away she's already said uh buy back you know they're gonna
00:28:39.800take our guns there's not free speech they have done pretty uh politically they have challenged
00:28:45.300him all the way up so when they're like oh we're gonna be put in jail they tried to put him in jail
00:28:50.620what is it with our gender and wanting to kill our kids so but like what is it i don't know i just
00:28:57.500don't can we just ask is it that hard to get birth control isn't that difficult isn't it free
00:29:02.480everywhere that's it like can't you get an iud and you're good what are they fighting for abortion
00:29:07.740so bad just just just lock it up you know well that's what abstinence is an option but i know
00:29:12.700they won't like they're not gonna do that so go get you an iud you're good what's the we're voting
00:29:18.000on this and that is what comes down to it i have talked to so many people because i have knocked
00:29:22.220on doors and literally they go well this is an abortion thing my my girlfriend might get an
00:29:26.840abortion well then can you not take a little bit of care and not have that happen what is it
00:29:33.500they march they march for this i know i'm like oh let's kill babies now that's something to be
00:29:39.260proud about sorry i can't go against that but you know yes there are exceptions to every rule i get
00:29:45.720it but there that's the one thing they keep saying over and over oh trump is going to put a national
00:29:50.540ban that's a lie he just pushed it to the states that's where it should be if you don't like your
00:29:55.460state move but when it comes to all this education i am well i'm a retired school team school that i
00:30:01.980taught in because i would have never tried to confuse the genders of children or shown in
00:30:06.320pornography in elementary school. That's wrong too. Yeah, has he changed the Republican Party?
00:30:11.460Absolutely. Back to where it was. I mean, the Republicans have always been more in the middle
00:30:20.340and then all of a sudden you've got these lefties that took it way far away. And even the Democrats,
00:30:26.820there's a lot of Democrats have come over to the Republican side because the Democratic Party
00:30:30.840moved away you know we just want you know food that's sensibly priced so we
00:30:36.340can feed our families we want gas it's not out of the roof we need to be
00:30:39.580drilling oil here that is this trail baby drill drill baby drill I'm telling
00:30:45.080you that's that's what it comes down to it we we have got to be energy efficient
00:30:50.520because all their green New Deal stuff I'm sorry but it nothing happens without
00:30:55.740without without the petroleum side so they're they can't do it do you think that men that vote for
00:31:01.520harris are beta did you see that commercial no the commercial was was hysterical do you know
00:31:10.480they were all actors obviously it's just like oh my goodness who would vote for her so why are you
00:31:16.220voting for trump you know i i love trump i love everything about him i think his sense of humor
00:31:21.760is good he is hilarious you know they always say would you like to have dinner with him or have a
00:31:27.020beer or whatever you know yeah i would love to have dinner with trump i think he's of the ultimate
00:31:32.320he's funny and plus i want some guy i love his personality but i tell people if you don't like
00:31:38.000the personality vote policy i love his policies and i want somebody with a big stick at the door
00:31:44.220of america do you think women should vote i'm gonna answer that with uh yes and i think christians
00:31:51.080should vote i'm a little disappointed with my uh christian brothers and sisters because they need
00:31:56.180to get out there and vote so i have a question if it required us to be drafted again would you give
00:32:00.720up your right to vote so if we're yes if there's a war and they said you have to go be drafted just
00:32:05.820like the men because you know that's why we weren't allowed to vote was because it came with
00:32:09.440the draft tomorrow they said you have the choice you can go fight in the war just like the men
00:32:14.640like there's world war three tomorrow or give up your right to vote what would you do i guess i
00:32:18.800have to fight. You'd fight? I would give it up. No. I'm giving it up. That's the only voice you really have. What about my husband? You know what I mean? I can't give out. We have three daughters if that tells you what. You know, there's so many people who have died for this country. Yeah. And we respect them and that's, that's a, that's a respectful job. They don't want us in the front lines. We weren't supposed to be on the front line. Yeah. You know, they need men, real men. Yeah. You know what I'm saying
00:32:48.660though it's like it um it's like women are going to decide this election when we pay the minority
00:32:53.540the taxes and do the minority of the work i don't think that's fair i don't know how to make it more
00:32:58.200fair at this point but i'm like i always wonder how why do we have an equal set like it has to
00:33:02.660be net taxpayers or something because there's too many people that are just living off the system
00:33:07.280vote that have no like of course they're going to keep voting for free stuff but isn't trump
00:33:11.840trying to make that he's trying to do a flat tax republicans have tried to do flat taxes in the
00:33:16.440past. Good luck. I know. Well, and you know, you talk to so many people, if they get money from
00:33:21.460the government, then they're going to vote, but that's still imprisonment. Yeah. I don't want to
00:33:25.580be in prison to the government. I'd rather work myself to the bone and still have my dignity
00:33:31.040instead of have someone just handing me food stamps. Have you talked to any, um, Kamala or
00:33:36.280Harris supporters today? Have you like actually sat down with them, talked to them? I've got a few
00:33:40.520friends. Yeah. I meant today here. No, because we just walked over here, but I would love to. They,
00:33:45.320I'm sure they don't want to talk to us. We would love to talk to them. I would talk Trump all day.
00:33:50.380Okay, well, you've been great. It's very nice to meet you.
