In this episode of The Chris Abraham Show, Chris uncovers the unchecked lies that Kamala Harris told during the recent presidential debate. Despite the moderators rigorously fact-checking Trump, Harris's misstatements, including her false portrayal of Trump’s “dictator for one day” joke, were left unchallenged. Chris explores the larger implications of selective scrutiny and political bias in debates, using metaphors like a Geiger counter to illustrate how overreactions signal hidden truths. The episode also dives into social engineering, manipulation, and how both the January 6th event and 9/11 were used to craft political narratives.

Show Notes:

  • Opening with the key debate lies told by Kamala Harris that were left unchecked by moderators, including her misrepresentation of Trump’s joke about being a "dictator for one day."

  • Criticism of the double standard in how Trump was fact-checked repeatedly, while Harris’s falsehoods were ignored.

  • Examples of other Harris misstatements, like her false claims about third-trimester abortions and U.S. troops in combat zones.

  • Discussion on how political debates are often manipulated to craft specific narratives, using selective fact-checking as a tool to guide public perception.

  • Comparison of the post-9/11 and post-January 6th political climates, with both events being used to shape public sentiment and justify new measures of control.

  • Reflection on the power of language, repetition, and media framing in perpetuating these narratives.

FAQ:

  1. What specific lies did Kamala Harris tell during the debate? Harris falsely claimed that Trump would be a dictator from day one, based on his joke about being a dictator for a single day to roll back executive orders. Other misstatements included false claims about U.S. troops and third-trimester abortions.

  2. Why weren’t Kamala Harris’s statements fact-checked? The moderators appeared to focus on fact-checking Trump while allowing Harris's statements to go unchallenged, reflecting a possible bias in the debate.

  3. How does Chris interpret the selective scrutiny of debates? Chris sees selective fact-checking as part of a larger narrative-building process, where certain truths are hidden or ignored while others are amplified to shape public opinion.

  4. How do the post-9/11 and post-January 6th narratives compare? Both events were used to galvanize public sentiment—9/11 against terrorism and January 6th against domestic extremism. Chris argues that these moments were exploited to push political agendas and increase governmental control.

  5. What’s the Geiger counter metaphor? The Geiger counter metaphor is used to describe how the closer someone gets to revealing a hidden truth, the more intense the overreactions from individuals or institutions, signaling that they may be onto something.

Glossary:

  • Geiger Counter: A device detecting radiation, used here as a metaphor for discovering hidden truths through overreactions.

  • Ray Epps: A controversial figure tied to conspiracy theories about the January 6th breach.

  • Selective Fact-Checking: The practice of only challenging certain statements during debates, often based on political bias.

  • Gaslighting: Manipulating someone to doubt their perception of reality, often used in media and political narratives.

  • Useful Idiot: A person unwittingly promoting a cause or agenda, often without realizing their manipulation.
