So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all

about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run show on the breakfast club would you rather have the black president or a white president i'm a problem figuring out whether you're premier trump and you ain't black it's enough america has a brain yes turn turn the mics on after the intro donkey of the day for monday august 26 goes to donald trump's running mate jd vance now i'm about to say something that is so obvious and so basic. And what I'm about to tell you is that women make up a significant portion of the American electorate.

Did y'all know that? Oh, my God. 53 to 55 percent of the voting population in America, the election, the voters are women. OK, 53 to 55 percent of the voting population in American elections are women. So you have to be a pretty terrible politician to do things to upset that base. All of you folks who championed abolishing Roe v. Wade, I am talking to you. And that's why J.D. Vance is probably the worst VP pick of all time. If I was Donald Trump, I would have chosen a woman. You know, maybe Nikki Haley.

I just feel with the attack that the GOP has waged on women's reproductive rights, you need a woman on your ticket out there explaining that issue because Trump and everybody around him with a penis are horrible at it. Okay, especially J.D. Vance. Now back in 2021, J.D. Vance referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as a childless cat lady who doesn't have a direct stake in the future of this country. Let's listen. We're effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made. And so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too. If you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC, the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children.

Pete has two kids, though. JD and the JD stands for just dumb, or maybe it stands for jackass donkey. Now, if you had a running mate for someone running, you know, for running with a person who takes credit for getting rid of Roe v. Wade, if you are that human, I would think you would want to clear that up because you don't want to have a ticket of men who just seem like they hate women. But no, that's not who jackass donkey Vance is. Okay, he was on Meet the Press yesterday and told Kristen Walker that he doesn't have any regrets. Let's listen. Yes, I made a sarcastic comment years ago that I think that a lot of Democrats have willfully misinterpreted. But what I've simply said is

that I think that it's really a profound change that's happened in our country where we become anti-family. And I would like to change that. Do you regret making that comment, Senator? Look, Kristen, I'm going to say things from time to time that people disagree with. I'm a real person. I'm going to make jokes. I'm going to say things sarcastically. There are certainly going to be things that I say. If I'm elected vice president, people are going to say, well, I wish he had said that differently. I think it's most important to actually be the person I actually am and to say those sarcastic comments were made in the service of a real substantive point. Given that people have told you directly, have spoken out, have said that they were offended, they were hurt by those comments, do you wish you never made those

childless cat lady comments? I think that it's much more important for me to just be a normal human being who sometimes says things that people disagree with. I have a lot of regrets, Kristen, but making a joke three years ago is not in the top ten of the list. That explanation would work if it was me, okay? But not if you are running with someone who's running for president of the United States of America. I just don't understand why you would choose to purposely insult 22 million people.

Yes, according to census data, nearly 22 million U.S. women between the ages of 20 and 39 don't have children. That's a lot of people to potentially piss off when you run for president of the United States of America. Now, it's not a given, you know, those women will vote for Madam Vice President. We saw that with Hillary in 2016. But if you're out here campaigning, explaining yourself to people applies as to why you should be president of the United States of America. The one thing you should be attempting to do is avoid purposely offending people, purposely pissing people off. Just dumb Vance. You said that women with no children should have less political influence because they aren't invested in the future in the same way as parents. Jackass donkey Vance feels like if you don't have kids, you're somehow

less capable of understanding or caring about the direction of this country. I feel like you challenged 22 million women to a duel with those comments. OK, I believe those women are going to go out in November and show you how much political influence they actually have. Not to mention, J.D., your opponent is a woman. Being that she's a woman, there is not an interview you're going to be in that you will not be asked about this. Eventually, you're going to have to walk it back just for political purposes. OK, I saw Trump tweet out that his administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights. This is when you don't listen to what a person says they're going to do.

You look and see what they have done, okay? He put three judges on the Supreme Court that voted to abolish Roe v. Wade, and Trump takes the credit for abolishing Roe v. Wade. And then he adds a running mate to his ticket like J.D. Vance who thinks women with no kids have less value than women with kids, and J.D. refuses to walk that point back? Not even for political purposes will he walk it back?

Let me explain to you why you should. And it's really simple. The idea that someone's worth or investment in society is tied to whether they have children is as ridiculous as you being chosen to be someone's running mate. Okay, people contribute to society in countless ways, regardless of whether they're parents. And this notion that only women with kids should have a significant say in our nation's future, it's insulting and dangerous. What about the millions of childless adults who work in education, healthcare, and all these other fields that shape our communities? What about the women who physically can't have children or the women who choose not to have kids for whatever reason? You they do have that choice right i know y'all want to take away a woman's right to choose but they still have a choice i know you're trying to score points with the mega base but while but

doing it while alienating a massive portion of the electorate women that's just not good politics see jackass donkey vance being a parent doesn't make you a better person or a more valuable citizen it just makes you a parent okay respect for others and their choices however is what truly makes someone worthy of leadership you don't have those values please give jd vance the sweet sounds as a matter of fact let remy ma.D. Vance the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother-----, are you dumb? Mm-hmm. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
