Trump's Horrible Lies about Haitian Residents in Springfield, Ohio and More Assassination Talk

Author: Time To Say Goodbye September 18, 2024 Duration: 1:03:41

Hello!

A quick note before we start: We recorded this as we always do on Tuesday for an early Wednesday release. The last part of the show focuses on what at the time was a wishy-washy and evasive response from Kamala Harris when asked about what Trump and Vance were doing to Haitian residents in Springfield, Ohio. Since then, Harris has come out and called their attacks a “crying shame” and likened it to Trump’s demonization of the Central Park Five. We decided to keep the section in the show because while it’s great that Harris did finally address it, I (Jay) still find it interesting that she chose to liken it to well-worn things she’s already talked about, but decline to say anything positive about immigrants or immigration at all. This defensiveness is what we were responding to and while I think the tone we reached would’ve been muted a bit, I still think the logic is sound and relevant.

Other than that, we talked about how we now view the “fascism debate” in light of these disgusting attacks on a specific, vulnerable population who already is seeing daily bomb threats at schools, and we talked a bit about the latest assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life.

Enjoy!

You’ll find Time To Say Goodbye hosted by Jay Caspian Kang and Tyler Austin Harper, a conversation that moves as unpredictably as the tides they sometimes discuss. While rooted in the urgent currents of politics and culture, the dialogue often drifts into the personal rhythms of life-like the patience of fishing or the sudden rush of catching a wave. These diversions aren’t just filler; they’re where larger ideas about society and how we live within it often surface. Each episode feels like a meandering but purposeful walk, where the destination is less important than the ground covered along the way. The podcast thrives on this specific blend of the analytical and the anecdotal, offering a respite from more rigid commentary. It’s the kind of show where a debate about policy might naturally lead to a story about a cold morning on the water, all threaded together with thoughtful, often wry, observation. For listeners tired of compartmentalized talk, this offers a cohesive, if wonderfully eclectic, listen. You’re simply tuning into a conversation between two curious minds, one that acknowledges that understanding the world means talking about everything in it-even, and especially, the stuff that seems unrelated.
