Speaker 1: Let's go.
Oh, you know who we haven't heard from for.
For a while?
Our friend Tamisha in New York City, Tamisha.
Welcome.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
How is everything?
Speaker 1: Everything's good.
Speaker 2: I'm calling because I wanted to just quickly talk about the absurdity of the
gun talk.
Yeah.
From right where they say, oh, let's open doors, locked doors and rooftops.
But that whole premise doesn't make any sense, because it would mean you would have to arm
every public place.
You would have to lock every public place.
Right.
And it's not really realistic to have armed guards everywhere all the time.
Wouldn't that be like a welfare state?
Speaker 1: Well, it wouldn't be it not a welfare state.
Be more like a police state.
Speaker 2: Police state?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's completely unrealistic.
And, you know, the thing about it is they never want to just say, let's try dealing
with the guns like we've talked about all this other stuff and we've said the issues,
mental illness, but then they won't fund mental health and then they say the issue's doors,
but then there's an outdoor shooting and then they say, well, the issue is fire escapes,
but then there's one at a movie theater, you know, I mean, they want to just push around
the responsibility and never deal with the guns.
And you're absolutely right.
It's like, well, I guess everybody should wear body armor at a parade and everyone should
wear a helmet at the movies.
Like, how far is this going to go before we say, hey, you know what, let's just try dealing
with the guns?
Speaker 2: And it's like most most commonsense people are not trying to take away guns.
They're just trying to make it so crazy.
People don't get them.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
I mean, it's like, listen, there's some people who want to get rid of the Second Amendment.
I take a more fatalistic approach, which is like, for now we have a Second Amendment,
let's work within it.
Let's require liability insurance.
Let's make ammunition really expensive.
Let's limit the guns that someone under 25 can have.
Let's have a waiting period.
Let's have a psych eval, let's have more extensive training, all these different things.
Let's just really make it so that only the cream of the crop, so to speak, can get the
guns.
Speaker 2: Well, that's where the common sense part comes in.
But we're dealing with people without common sense.
And that brings me to the next thing where, yeah, I'm coming to a similar conclusion to
you where our electorate is just not very bright.
Right?
It's like I talk to people and they talk about gas prices, inflation, and they talk about
Democratic policy and oh, the left is so woke and the left is to this too crazy and radical.
But then they very much ignore the radical left that's on the right side.
Of course, there's so much craziness that goes on on the right and so much authoritarian.
It's all ignored because like I've even heard people that I know that I'm not Republicans.
I talk about how they like DeSantis, like you were saying with yeah, with Reagan.
Like I'm like really?
And I don't like to play the race card, but I like your person of color.
I really don't understand his he and or you support the LGBTQ community.
I don't understand how you can support anything he stands for.
Everything he stands for is against any of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
I mean, he has a zero rating on LGBT stuff.
I mean, listen, it's unfor it's really unfortunate to Miesha, but we're in a world where most
people are incompetent and I know it's so elitist and it's so condescending and it's
so pompous.
I mean, listen, at this point, I've worked with a bunch of real estate agents.
They were mostly all terrible at their jobs other than to at this point.
I've had, you know, over 20, however many years of driving.
How many mechanics have they had?
They've mostly been terrible at their jobs.
And now I know a good mechanic I've had, you know what it's like.
It's just it's so common that people are just incompetent or only minimally competent.
And we're kind of trying to dance through this.
And you know what?
So I could be incompetent, too.
I'm not even saying I'm exempt from this, but it's a reality that we're dealing with
here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
I wouldn't say that I know everything, but I do try to be informed when I form opinions.
I don't just form opinions based on what somebody tells me.
I try to, you know, do my research and form an opinion based on facts.
But it's less like some people just listen to propaganda on news outlets and they say,
well, that's that's the way things are because they said it.
Yes.
I'm like, but there's just so much nuance.
Even with the vaccinations, I hear people say, well, you could still get it.
I was like, There's so much nuance that there's very a variance.
People didn't get it at first.
So it was allowed to spread.
Like there's so much nuance to it that it's not as simple as, Oh, if you get if you get
the vaccine, you can still get it.
So that means the vaccine doesn't work.
That's just a simplified way to think of it.
Speaker 1: 100%.
100% to me showed the kids are okay.
Speaker 2: Yes, they both a school 90 high honors, so I'm very proud of them.
Speaker 1: Ninety's good.
Speaker 2: 97.
Speaker 1: 97.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
All right.
Well, great to hear from you.
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: All right.
There's Michelle from New York City.
Always great to hear from her.
Let's go next to.
You know, I kind of want to figure out what's going on in Florida a little bit.
Let's go next to her here in Florida now.
Are you in Florida or Florida?
Hello.
Corker.
Well, I guess we're not going to figure out.
