DONALD TRUMP IS APPARENTLY INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT ABOUT
THE REAL ISSUES THAT REAL AMERICANS CARE ABOUT, UNFILTERED
FROM ALL OF THAT MAINSTREAM MEDIA B.S., SO IF YOU ARE ONE OF
THE LUCKY FEW ON HIS EMAIL LISTSERV YOU MIGHT HAVE RECEIVED
AN EMAIL INCLUDING A SECTION LIKE THIS --
POLITICIANS HAVE SPENT TOO MUCH TIME BICKERING AND NOT
ENOUGH TIME LISTENING.
SO TODAY WE'RE TURNING OFF THAT AWFUL,
BLISTERING NOISE OF WASHINGTON.
INSTEAD I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE AMERICAN HEARTLAND, THE REAL AMERICA THAT
LIVES OUTSIDE OF THE DC MEDIA FANTASY WORLD.
BECAUSE OF OUTSIDE OF DC IT'S JUST THE HEARTLAND, THERE
ARE NO COASTS.
WITH OUR SIX MONTH MARK APPROACHING I WANT YOU TO TAKE
THE LISTENING TO AMERICA SURVEY TO TELL ME THE TRUE SENTIMENTS,
CONCERNS, AND INTERESTS OF REAL AMERICA.
AND THERE WERE SOME
MORE BASHING OF THE MEDIA AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
YOU CLICK ON
THE LINK AND YOU GO TO THE SURVEY, I THINK WE CAN HELP THEM
OUT, BUT I WANT TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE SORTS OF QUESTIONS
THAT WERE IN THIS SURVEY.
SOME OF THEM ARE SORT OF NORMAL
THINGS YOU EXPECT FROM A RIGHT-WINGER, HAVE EXCESSIVE
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS, RULES, AND REDTAPE BURDENED YOU
PERSONALLY?
PROBABLY NOT, BUT THEY WANT TO FIND OUT ABOUT
THAT.
DO YOU THINK UNIVERSITIES TODAY INDOCTRINATE RATHER THAN
TEACH STUDENTS?
SLIGHTLY MORE QUESTIONABLE TERRITORY.
DO YOU
TRUST THE MEDIA?
WE KNOW THEY PROBABLY DON'T IF THEY ARE ON
HIS LISTSERV.
DO YOU FIND THE NEWS TO BE GENERALLY TOO
NEGATIVE/HATEFUL?
THEY LOVE TO SAY HATEFUL.
THIS IS A CLASSIC PUSH POLL, WHICH IS SOMETHING DESIGNED TO
GET YOU TO THINK ONE WAY WHILE OPPOSING IT IS A QUESTION.
IN
THE OLD DAYS YOU WOULD'VE HAD HALF OF THESE QUESTIONS WITH THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY ANYWAY, DO YOU DISTRUST THE MEDIA, ETC., BUT
THE TRUMP TEAM ADDS EXTRA WORDS TO IT LIKE, DO YOU FIND THE
MEDIA TO BE HATEFUL?
THEY WOULDN'T SAY THAT IN THE PAST,
NOW TRUMP IS LIKE, THEY ARE ONLY CRITICIZING ME BECAUSE THEY HATE
ME.
THEY TAKE THAT TRUMP TALKING POINT AND PUSH IT THROUGH THEIR
POLL, WHILE THEY TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WANT.
WHILE THEY
LISTEN TO YOU.
NO, THE WHOLE POINT IS TO TALK TO YOU.
THE WHOLE THING SEEMS TO BE LEADING IN THAT DIRECTION.
DO
YOU FEEL THAT YOU CANNOT PUBLICLY ADMIT THAT YOU SUPPORT
TRUMP?
THAT'S AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
IT'S INTERESTING, I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A BIT OF SHAME,
AND CERTAINLY IT WILL LEAD TO THAT AFTER MORE PEOPLE SEEING
THE QUESTION.
ENGLISH IS NOT CURRENTLY RECOGNIZED AS THE
OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF THE UNITED STATES.
DO YOU THINK IT SHOULD
BE?
AGAIN THIS IS ABOUT REAL ISSUES THAT REAL AMERICANS CARE
ABOUT.
BUT THERE IS ACTUALLY ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
PEOPLE WHO DO THIS SURVEY TO WRITE BACK.
IF YOU BRING THIS UP
YOU WILL SEE A TEXT FIELD, WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK THE PRESIDENT
NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THE REAL AMERICA?
WE'RE LISTENING.
THE
INTERESTING THING ABOUT TRUMP IS THAT HE DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW
MUCH ABOUT ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY AMERICA AND THE ISSUES THAT
MATTER TO IT MOST, CONSIDERING WHAT HE'S LIKELY TO DO ON TAXES,
HIS APPROACH TO CLIMATE CHANGE, WHAT THEY ARE DOING POTENTIALLY
TO HEALTHCARE EVEN AS WE SPEAK.
HE WANTS TO ASK ABOUT ENGLISH AS
THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE AND WHETHER THE MEDIA SHOULD NOT BE
TRUSTED, BUT THERE ARE SOME BIG ISSUES OUT THERE.
AND
THEORETICALLY IF YOU GO TO GOP.COM, YOU CAN FILL THAT OUT.
WE CAN GIVE HIM SOME SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT HE NEEDS TO KNOW
ABOUT REAL AMERICA.
THESE ARE MEANT TO BE TOUCH POINTS ON CULTURAL ISSUES THAT
DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO ON YOUR LIFE BUT THAT GET TO THE
CORE OF YOUR IDENTITY AND MAKE YOU EMOTIONAL.
HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE YOU HAD A REAL ISSUE WITH ENGLISH AS THE OFFICIAL
LANGUAGE?
I HAVE HAD IT SOMETIMES, WHEN I'M IN MIAMI I
DO GET FRUSTRATED THAT AT LEAST 50% OF THAT PARTICULAR CITY
SPEAKS SPANISH, AND SOME PERCENTAGE SPEAK ONLY SPANISH,
SO I HAVE TROUBLE COMMUNICATING.
IT'S NOT MY CITY SOLELY -- I
LOVE MIAMI -- BUT OTHER PEOPLE LIVE IN IT.
THEY SPEAK SPANISH,
I SPEAKING WAS, YOU COULD SAY THAT'S A SAD DAY FOR ME, I DON'T
WANT TO DICTATE THAT THAT'S THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE.
BUT MY POINT
IS EVEN IF YOU ARE FROM TIME TO TIME FRUSTRATED BY IT AS I AM, I
WISH WE WOULD SPEAK ONE LANGUAGE, BUT THAT'S A WISH --
THAT IS A MINUSCULE ISSUE.
IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN MY LIFE
PARTICULARLY BECAUSE OF MIAMI LIKE SEVEN TIMES, AND IF YOU
LIVE IN KANSAS, HOW MANY TIMES HAS IT HAPPENED TO YOU?
WHERE
YOU ARE LIKE, THERE WE GO AGAIN WITH TAGALOG.
I NEED ENGLISH HERE.
ALWAYS URDU.
URDU, URDU, URDU.
IF I HEAR ONE MORE PERSON TALKING SWAHILI, I WILL MOVE OUT
OF TOPEKA.
THIS IS NOT A REAL ISSUE BUT IT GETS YOU TO GO,
GRR, AMERICANS SHOULD SPEAK ENGLISH.
I'M ANGRY.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT ABOUT, BUT I'M ANGRY.
BUT IN TERMS OF WHAT AFFECTS YOUR
LIFE, HOW HIGH YOUR PREMIUM IS, WHAT IF SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY
GET SICK, THAT IS MONUMENTALLY IMPORTANT.
BUT THE POINT OF
THESE SO-CALLED ISSUES IS TO DISTRACT YOU FROM THAT.
AND PART
OF THE REASON PEOPLE DO DISTRACTIONS, LIKE THEY DO IT IN
A HEIST FOR EXAMPLE, IS SO YOU DON'T SEE THEM TAKING THE MONEY
OUT FROM THE OTHER END OF THE BUILDING.
SO THE TAX CUTS THAT
ARE COMING ARE SO GIGANTIC AND SO EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE RICH THAT
THEY WANT YOU TO WORRY ABOUT THINGS THAT DON'T MATTER AT ALL
WHILE THEY PULL OFF THAT HEIST.
