democrat. caller: good morning and thank you for taking my call. i have a comment about your no last -- her last guest the libertarian party. i believe that they are trumpers and sheep's clothing. they are soft or kinder arm of the nationalist party and everything else that trump stands for. it seems like they do not really have an idea, they just have a line, a party line. i just hope that americans are smarter than that. and that they can speak to these things and if -- and joe biden is doing a great job. he came in in the middle of a pandemic and his experience paid off because it got us back to where we were. the only thing they can do is to scare the voters, what if joe

biden dies who will be the president and to come up with a narrative that he is too old. if it wasn't for that they would have no arguments. that is just my comment. america is smarter than this. let us vote and save america. thank you. host: larry in rapid city, independent. good morning. caller: good morning. look, i was watching the gal from the libertarian party and i am sure that she had a very -- he was a very caring person. but one of the things that i see with a lot of these people is they are so small minded. this world is not a little state. it is not a little county. it is not little. the world is huge and there are all kinds of problems in it. and we want to back out of the whole thing. that is being quite ridiculous.

you know back in 1840's, they had little schoolhouses and kids went to school and they learned. were they dummies? what is this lady talking about. how did the smart kids get so smart? when did it change? administration does something but you still teach kids and the kids have to learn. that is that situation. as far as the federal government goes, they try to keep the wheels on that thing. like i said before. this is a big country. and it is a big world. and you have to keep your eyes open everywhere you go. and for us to back away, i do not know what trump is thinking make america great. when was that? when was american great? and we were killing the indians or enslaving people? when was america great? the 1950's? host: democratic line on natalie

in myrtle beach, south carolina. caller: good morning. good morning, thank you for having me. i just want to say that i am a democrat and i have always been one and no matter who is running , i will probably be with them or independent. i just want to say i am concerned about our country. i see it is very divided and i see the hatefulness and that is the part that hurts my heart. i see trump being a cult leader and cult followers. i think about the jim jones era and manson and i see people following this man and following him straight to hell. and so god bless america and thank you so much for having me. host: as you know president biden and prime minister netanyahu had a 30 minute call to talk about the protection of

aid workers and getting humanitarian aid into gaza. here is secretary of state blinken spoke about the call at a nieto anniversary event in -- nato anniversary event in brussels. [video clip] >> this week's horrific attack on world central kitchen was not the first incident but it must be the last. president biden spoke a short while ago with prime minister netanyahu. they discussed the situation in gaza. the president emphasized that the constraints on they committed terry workers and the unitarian situation is unacceptable. he made clear the need for israel to announce a series of specific, concrete and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering and the safety of aid workers. he made clear that u.s. policy with respect to gaza will be determined by our assessment of

israel's immediate action on the steps. he underscored that an immediate cease oil -- cease fire is essential to stabilize the situation and protect innocent civilians and urged prime minister netanyahu to conclude a deal without delay to bring the hostages home. they also discussed public iranian threats against israel and the israeli people. president biden reaffirmed the strong support for israel in the face of the threats and our commitment to israeli security. right now there is no higher priority in gaza than protecting civilians, serving him unitarian existence -- humanitarian efforts and security. israel must meet this moment. [end video clip] host: that was secretary blinken from yesterday and here is rich on the republican line. nutley, new jersey. caller: i tell you, blinken has

a lot of kahunas because if you remember, august 29 in 2021, ok they evolved innocent children, seven innocent children, and three adults in cabal. august -- kabul, and that was accident. it was a five-minute story, and now because there was a mistake made by israel it is the end of the world, ok? we have made mistakes and they covered it up, they had to get a freedom of information act to get the film. the media tried to cover it up. so i do not understand how everybody is so upset, ok. in war, sometimes people die because of mistakes. and nobody wants to see that. but the way they are going because the accident happened.

i mean, show the people, bring it up on your computer. show it on august 29. show them killing seven children and three adults. for these other people calling in about democracy but they want to keep people off the ballot, that is democracy? i do not think so. thank you. host: caller: i was just calling about your earlier program on the real estate and housing crisis and affordability. i know you covered the tax drop cuts that disallowed interest in your property tax reduction for most americans and that we can the affordability of homes. also, with all of these

corporation buying homes they should increase the tax on these corporate homes and real estate holders and double or triple the tax if you have multiple properties and that would help homeowners. just a couple of things i wanted to cover in dear libertarian party. i think history shows if you have an effective, organized government you are more likely to succeed than a that is also on our ops and online. we go to tanya in harrisburg, kentucky, and democrat. caller: i just wanted to say a republican state legislature here in kentucky has passed a

law that if you have a hybrid vehicle or electronic vehicle that you are surcharged anywhere from $60-100 dollars just because you own one of those type of vehicles. host: bill also in paducah, kentucky. caller: donald trump's property rights. that is all i need to say. host: speaking of the former president we have this from the washington post that says this, judge cannon shoots down the presidential records claimant to the game as special counsel jack smith suggesting his filing was

unprecedented and unjust. eileen canada rejected trump's bid to have his charges of mishandling of documents and defended her handling of her issue saying that the presidential records act took priority over the espionage act when it came to confidential documents that went to florida after his presidency. cannon shot down the argument saying it does not provide a pretrial basis to dismiss. either with handling charges by diffusing a looming confrontation this ruling may clear a path to help her resolve

pretrial issues including when it will be held over the possible rival events -- relevance. jim is calling from cairo, missouri, democrat. caller: an ancestor of mine was an abortionist born about 1900. she would've grown up with little or no contraception. six kids on a farm was different than six kids on the ghetto. the wealthy would fly here in because of one time teenage pregnancy was a disgrace and if you can imagine a biracial pregnancy in certain times and places it would be a problem.

host: what year was this? caller: around 1900. she lived to see the pill. she lived to see roe. i looked her up near the end of her life and within moments she was talking to my girlfriend about lady stuff. her whole life was dedicated to women's health, children's issues. she raised a special needs person well past life expectancy. she was instrumental in adoptions including my own. i wish there was a line she could call in because i think there'd be something to say. host: darrell in houston, texas, a republican. caller: i do not think we have a uni-party. we have a

government that is way out of their spending. we need a smaller government. the federal government should to take care of military but not involved in foreign wars. i can't understand why a mother would kill her child. i am just appalled at the idea that it is legal in this country. i think we should have a different government. i am going to vote for president trump because i believe he has the best solution for all the problems our country has. host: let's talk to james in detroit. caller: i would like to answer

the question that the guy who called in about when was america great. 1491. that is all. host: sarah in coal city, indiana, a republican. caller: who is the head of c-span? is it still brian lamb? host: we have two copresidents and brian lamb is the chairman. the executive chairman. caller: my point is i watched the show every day for months and years and am considering not watching anymore but you especially. if you guys go back in your archives go back and look how

many republicans you call versus democrats and independents. i am asking brian lamb have a talk with all of your host and tell them to be fair. host: do you mean to the callers or guests? caller: yes versus democrat or independent. i used to mark down and a lot of times the minute they start talking you know. please, be fair. put it in alphabetical number. it would be democrat, independent and then republic and still start be more fair. host: we have to take the calls

that come in. you could talk to other republicans and tell them they should call more and we are happy to take the calls that come in. caller: that's not right at all. look at how many they call and you will know. host: don't give up on us. rick and west hope, north dakota. caller: good morning. a couple of things. the jewish, the israeli/hamas conflict.
