I've got a lot of um 10 00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:26,159 I'm gonna try to This is one of those days where I'm alone here again. 11 00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:32,159 Today I'm gonna try to get through as many fascinating news stories as possible, 12 00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:37,120 things that I think are interesting. But and perhaps you will too in 13 00:01:37,239 --> 00:01:40,280 an ideal situation. By the way. That track that we opened with that 14 00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:44,400 is called Ain't Life a Struggle?

It's 18 00:01:55,319 --> 00:01:57,120 funny. I was just looking at a picture of him online. He reminds 19 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,480 me a little bit of Paul Simon, just in how he looks, although 20 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,400 he's probably taller because most people are taller than Paul Simon. But no, 21 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,759 he's got a great voice and I really look forward to meeting him, talking 22 00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:13,560 with him and getting to hear him live. So that will be on Thursday. 23 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,800 We have a musical guest tomorrow as well, skyping in in the second 24 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:23,520 hour, Becoming Human.

Actually, I'm gonna give you a I'm gonna 28 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,039 give you two for Tuesday at the top of the hour. Well no, 29 00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:39,080 well that's what they say on Radio two for Tuesday. I'm not actually going 30 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,680 to play two Becoming Human songs. I'm only gonna play one. But I 31 00:02:42,719 --> 00:02:46,879 usually only play one song at the break as we transition from the first hour 32 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,560 to the second hour. But I'm gonna play two songs today. I'm gonna 33 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,719 play something from Becoming Human and I'm also gonna play the track Angel, the 34 00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:57,879 great single from the band Infinite e Vain, because I happen to be wearing 35 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,960 for those of you watching online, you can see to be wearing the Infinity 36 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,000 Vein shirt, this wonderful shirt they had made for us. There are another 37 00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:07,319 Texas band, but we talked to them via Skype a couple times and they 38 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,400 made they made this wonderful shirt where it's got the band's logo on the front 39 00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:15,039 and on the back it's a custom shirt. On the back it says uh 40 00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:17,840 WMH ninety five point three FM. They were so uh. They were so 41 00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:23,520 grateful to be interviewed and have their music played on our on our program on 42 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,599 the station here. So they sent us a couple shirts, one for myself 43 00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:29,800 and one for Jenny. So I'm gonna play their single at the top of 44 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,039 the hour as well. So so yeah, that's what I meant when I 45 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,400 said two for Tuesday, You're gonna get two songs. Usually only get one 46 00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:38,400 song, but they're both uh you know, three minutes and change, so 47 00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:44,960 they're shorter songs. So there you go. Six zo three two five six 48 00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:47,360 seven is a number to call today. Six zo three two five six zoo 49 00:03:47,479 --> 00:03:51,719 seven. You can also text me at six one seven nine one seven four 50 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,039 four seven six. I'm on social media at Matt Connerton. You can email 51 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,919 me Matt at matt Connerton dot com. You can interact endo in the Facebook 52 00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:02,439 live chat. But the best thing to do so that we can hear and 53 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:08,639 enjoy your dulcet tones is to give us a call at six zero three two 54 00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:13,960 five six zero seven. And my friends, I do have one other very 55 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:20,800 exciting programming note for you. Although this particular programming note does not actually involve 56 00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:28,040 me or this program or a WMNH. It is about my dad. My 57 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:34,839 father will be officially a guest tonight on a Patriot Confederation. Now, if 58 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,920 you're a longtime listener of the show, you might be familiar with Billy Painter. 59 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,240 He also goes by Bad Billy, but I like to call I like 60 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,920 to use his real name Billy Painter because I just think it's a cool name. 61 00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:47,519 I think it's an even cooler name. I think Billy Painter sounds even 62 00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:51,000 cooler than Bad Billy. That's just what I think. God, I don't 63 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,079 know if I've ever told him that directly, but I think you should just 64 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,199 use Billy Painter. It sounds like a he sounds like a musician, right, 65 00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:00,399 you know, Hey, do you get the new Billy Painter or CD? 66 00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:03,279 You know what I mean? So anyway, he's not a musician, 67 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,839 of course, he's a talk showist. But it's his show that he does 68 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:13,639 along with John Grosvenor on is It WSMN in Nashua, New Hampshire. But 69 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,199 you can you can actually go to the YouTube channel. If you go to 70 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,519 the Patriot Confederation YouTube channel, you can stream the show live. So that 71 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:27,959 will be tonight at seven pm Eastern with Billy and John again, John Grovener, 72 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,759 who does a show in Nashua. They're gonna have my dad on as 73 00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:34,600 a guest. I assume I assume my dad's calling in. I assume he's 74 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,560 not skyping in because we're zooming in, because I don't think he's set up 75 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,000 for that. But so that'll be interesting. I don't know if I'll get 76 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,920 a chance to hear it live or not, but it'll be on YouTube so 77 00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:47,879 I can catch it after the fact if I don't get to hear live. 78 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,240 But I know my dad listens to this show, so Dad, good luck 79 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:56,560 tonight with that. I'm sure it'll be fun. I think I was trying 80 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,680 to remember on my way here if I'd been on that show or not. 81 00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:02,839 I definitely did something with Billy and John via Zoom, but I don't think 82 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:08,959 it was for Patriot Confederation. I think it was for Billy's show Outlaw Radio, 83 00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:13,279 but I'm not one hundred percent positive on that. It was a while 84 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:17,240 ago. It was several months ago, but I had a good time doing 85 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,480 that. So so anyway, so yes, my Dad, me Padre me 86 00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:28,399 Familia will be on the air tonight in Nashua, New Hampshire, and of 87 00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:32,560 course online again. Go to the Patriot Confederation YouTube channel. Let's go ahead 88 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,920 and say hello to everybody in our Facebook live chat here, and then we 89 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:42,560 shall get into some stuff. Jenny of course joins us and says shalom peeps. 90 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,639 Also, Jay Fed from the Great State of Vermont says good afternoon everyone. 91 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,279 Jay Fed is asking does he sing? Paul Simon, referring to our 92 00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:53,759 guests, our Thursday guest Peter Pappis if you're just joining us. He's asking 93 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,160 that because I made a comment that in one of his pictures he kind of 94 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,240 looks like Paul Simon. I don't know if he does any Paul him in 95 00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:02,279 songs. He does do covers and originals, but I don't know if he 96 00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:08,600 does any Paul Simon. Let's see, Jenny shared in the Facebook live chat 97 00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:15,360 the link to the Infinity Vein Facebook page and also the Peter Pappas Peter Pappas 98 00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:18,839 Facebook page and the Becoming Human Facebook page. So there you go. Check 99 00:07:18,879 --> 00:07:24,959 all of those wonderful artists out. Please, you'll be glad that you did. 100 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,800 Let me give the studio line one more time. Six three two five 101 00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:33,040 six seven six zho three two five six seven before we get into um, 102 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:39,720 before we get into any political news and so forth, because you know, 103 00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:44,639 the president made it official today. He announced his reelection and so forth, 104 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,199 and they made a nice video and he he didn't do an official campaign rally, 105 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,240 but he went and spoke at a union event and it was kind of 106 00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:56,839 like an unofficial campaign rally speech but to coincide with the video. But it 107 00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:00,319 is now official, So we'll talk about that a little bit in a moment. 108 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,920 We probably won't spend a lot of time on it because, frankly, 109 00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:07,480 to me, it's kind of a yawn because we all knew he was running, 110 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,000 he just hadn't made the official announcement. So now it's just official, 111 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,439 but it's not. J Fed says in the chat room. Well, when 112 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,319 he was on Thursday, I'll just call him al. A's a reference to 113 00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:24,639 the you know, referring to Peter Pappis Paul Simon song you can call me 114 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,800 al. Chevy Chase was in the video with him for that, remember that. 115 00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:31,720 Let's see. But so, you know, we'll get into that, 116 00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,879 and we've we've had a ton of other stuff. But I do want to 117 00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:41,559 acknowledge this, Harry Bellifonte passing away today at the age of ninety six. 118 00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:46,600 And no, I'm not going to play the Banana Boat song. I don't 119 00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:52,240 care about that, but he also did. Harry Bellafonte was also very active 120 00:08:52,240 --> 00:09:00,600 in terms of championing civil rights, and I happen to find this. I 121 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:07,240 was initially I wanted to share something. They kind of got into his broader 122 00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:11,080 history in the civil rights movement. But then I saw this on newsweek dot 123 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,840 Com and I said, you know, actually, let's go with this and 124 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,240 we'll look at this article and this will be kind of how we memorialize him 125 00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:24,600 today. Harry Belafonte's unique personal connection to Martin Luther King Junior. So this 126 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,879 is again, this is from Newsweek. This one up today as Harry Belafonte 127 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,320 has been has passed away at the age of ninety six, it says here. 128 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,080 Bernice King, the youngest daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. Eulogized singer 129 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:43,240 and civil rights activist Harry Bellafonte on social media this week, reflecting on the 130 00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:50,200 close relationship that he had with her family, in particularly her father. Bernice 131 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:56,159 tweeted today along alongside a picture of Bellefonte at her father's nineteen sixty eight funeral, 132 00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:01,799 quote, when I was a child hashtag Harry Bellefonte showed up for my 133 00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:05,279 family in very compassionate ways. In fact, he paid for the babysitter for 134 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,840 me and my siblings. Here he is mourning with my mother at the funeral 135 00:10:09,879 --> 00:10:16,279 service for my father at Morehouse College. I won't forget rest well, sir. 136 00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:22,679 Quote. Earlier that morning, Bellefonte's longtime spokesman announced at Bellefonte, ninety 137 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:28,120 six, had died at his Manhattan home from congestive heart failure. Bellefonte is 138 00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:33,720 remembered as a barrier's breaking figure who rose to start him at a time when 139 00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:39,039 racial discrimination and segregation were still widespread in the US. Besides his success as 140 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,240 a singer and actor, his legacy is largely defined by his work toward achieving 141 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:52,559 racial justice and his lifelong friendship with doctor King. Bellefonte befriended the civil rights 142 00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:56,600 leader early in his career, acting as a major donor to King's Southern Christian 143 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,039 Leadership Conference and repeatedly providing the funds to bail out King and other activists from 144 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,399 jail. He said that his political views were already in place when he met 145 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,840 King and that he was quote utterly committed to the civil rights struggle unquote, 146 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:15,399 but King affirmed his outlook. In nineteen sixty three, he participated in the 147 00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:20,559 March on Washington, which was led by King and became the most prominent protest 148 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,960 action for civil rights in American history. King famously delivered his Eye of a 149 00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:28,879 Dream speech as the event's keynote speaker. On the fiftieth, the anniversary of 150 00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:33,600 that day, Bellefonte recalled how truly inspiring the march was and revealed his thoughts 151 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:39,919 on his friend's renowned speech, which he said he helped write. I did 152 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,080 not know that. I had no idea that Bellefontae had helped write that speech, 153 00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:48,279 Bellefonte wrote in a twenty thirteen op ed for The Guardian, quote, 154 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,600 I was not surprised by the content because we had worked with him on it 155 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:58,360 and we were in tune with the message, but we were not prepared for 156 00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:05,080 what was the delivery the oratory. The imagery flowed, the language flowed. 157 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,039 It was Shakespearean ute. In the op ed, he urged America to stop 158 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:16,679 the idification of King so people could quote begin to understand how an ordinary man 159 00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:24,080 is empowered to find himself. King came from somewhere, and that somewhere was 160 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,759 the same hardship and struggle to survive of many of his followers. He had 161 00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:33,000 the same fears and hopes and anxieties and aspirations. To deify him is in 162 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:39,120 a way to reduce his achievement and to remove the radicalism from it. Unquote. 163 00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:46,279 Interesting, that's an interesting perspective. Bellefonte provided financially for the King family 164 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,840 throughout his friendship with the civil rights leader. The babysitter that Bernice remembered today 165 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:56,200 is well documented. Bellefonte had hired a nurse help the family shortly after Bernice's 166 00:12:56,279 --> 00:12:58,960 birth in nineteen sixty three, at the peak of the civil rights movement. 167 00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:05,600 Even after King's assassination, Bellefonte continued to give money to the family. King's 168 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,600 wife, Careta Scott King said of Bellefonte and her autobiography quote, whenever we 169 00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:13,840 got into trouble or when tragedy struck, Harry has always come to our aid, 170 00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:18,600 his generous heart, wide open nute. However, his relationship with the 171 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:24,039 King children was rocky at times. In two thousand and six, he see 172 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,360 I didn't know about this. In two thousand and six, he was disinvited 173 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,159 by the children to speak at Coretta's funeral after then President George W. Bush 174 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,240 said he would attend. Bellefonte had been an outspoken critic of Bush. In 175 00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:43,559 twenty thirteen, Bellefonte sued King's three surviving children, including Bernice, in a 176 00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:48,399 dispute over three documents that Bellefonte said where his property, but that the children 177 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,559 said belonged to their father's estate. The documents consisted of an outline of one 178 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,320 of King's famous speeches, reflections about the two men's friendship, and notes King 179 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,639 carried in his pocket the day of his death. The suit was settled the 180 00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:05,840 next year, with Bellefonte retaining possession. All right, so there you have 181 00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:09,639 it. So Harry, Harry Belafonte has passed away at the age of ninety 182 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:15,080 six. So I wanted to look at something to uh, you know, 183 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:20,159 to honor him. And um, let's see six zo three two five six 184 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:22,639 seven is a number of the time goes so fast. That's why I said, 185 00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:24,960 oh, six three two five six z seven, if you'd like to 186 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,159 join us on the studio line today. Something I saw, by the way, 187 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,200 purely by we'll get to the Biden's announcement and that, but something I 188 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:39,519 just s happened to see purely by a happenstance. Prank stallone who is at 189 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,360 the c JS on Twitter. That is, of course Chris James from not 190 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:48,600 even a Show, our friend Chris James, our token Canadian. No, 191 00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:52,600 we we know several Canadians actually, but but we love Chris James. Um 192 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,480 he this is just uh This is completely random, but it just struck me 193 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:03,279 as kind of f So, you know, if you're not familiar with Chris 194 00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:07,600 on not even a show. He makes crank calls and but he does or 195 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,480 prank calls, but he does something beyond that too. He's got You've got 196 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,840 to see the show. Check out any as on YouTube and you'll be glad 197 00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:20,960 that you did. It's very entertaining. But so this is on. He 198 00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:26,399 tweeted this earlier. I just happened to see this. Texted Jordan Peterson to 199 00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:31,279 ask him how he fell for a satire or article from a site called The 200 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,480 Dunning Krueger Times, and his response was to tell me to stop trying to 201 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,320 pretend I'm smart and cool and recommended a website to get my life back on 202 00:15:39,399 --> 00:15:48,000 track. He never addressed the question. So this is what Chris James sent 203 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:54,639 to Jordan Peterson. Doctor Peterson, I'm genuinely wondering how someone brilliant like you 204 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,679 and a psychologist to boot could fall for a satire site called the Dunning Krueger 205 00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:04,759 Time Times. That is a valid question, and Peterson replied, don't you 206 00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:08,120 have something better to do with your life than sneak about like this? And 207 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,399 pretend you're smart and cool. Is that the best you can do? Try 208 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,519 the self authoring dot com site and see if you can put your life on 209 00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:22,559 a more productive track. Truly. Now I'm going to click that link because 210 00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:29,159 I'm curious what self authoring dot com is, But we'll do that in a 211 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,159 moment. Maybe our friend EASYG already knows the answer. EAZYG, what is 212 00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:41,480 self authoring dot com? Can you tell us about that site? Hello? 213 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:48,279 Oh, hi, Hi, Hey, I don't really do any restarts, 214 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,080 but um oh, so you don't know? A guy named Larry Elder is 215 00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:53,360 running for president. He's a radio guy. You know anything about that fellow 216 00:16:53,559 --> 00:16:56,519 Larry Elder? Yes, I am familiar with him. He also ran for 217 00:16:56,559 --> 00:17:03,600 a governor of California, Lengene Gavin Newsom. Yes, I am familiar with 218 00:17:03,679 --> 00:17:08,920 Larry Elder. He is running for the Republic. Radio guy conservative. He 219 00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:14,440 is, Uh, he's an African American conservative. He is very successful. 220 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,400 He's nationally syndicated and I've seen him on quite a few television programs. Very 221 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,880 bright guy, sharp guy. I you know, I'm not a conservative, 222 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,079 so I disagree with him on some things, but uh, but I do, 223 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,480 but I do respect him and uh, yes, he has thrown his 224 00:17:29,519 --> 00:17:33,519 hat into the ring for the Republican nomination. Yes, you know, my 225 00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:38,000 friends said he can't win because he's not old. Larry Elder is a joke. 226 00:17:40,319 --> 00:17:42,079 He's not He's not in his seventies, righties, is he? Oh? 227 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,720 I get it? Uh no, Uh, he's probably he might be 228 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,000 in his sixties or younger. I'm not actually not sure how old Larry Elder 229 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,440 is, but seventy two or something. He's too young, you know, 230 00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:55,960 seventy two. I don't think he's it. I don't think he's that old. 231 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,640 I think I Waken's gold. Google. I guess I might have been 232 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,720 wrong. I think he was says seventy two. Is Larry Elder seventy? 233 00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:07,559 I guess it's possible. I didn't think he was that old. Let's see, 234 00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:08,799 he's too older, run though, isn't he. You're gonna be a 235 00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:12,000 really old not the way you mean too young to run? Boy? Yeah, 236 00:18:12,039 --> 00:18:15,039 we need uh let's keep we get stuck. We get stuck with Trump 237 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,720 and Biden. I'm definitely gonna be. I'm definitely gonna be. I'm gonna 238 00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:22,680 be angry. Uh prepared to be angry, because that's exactly what's likely to 239 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,880 happen. Larry Larry Larry Elder is done on duck, then Larry Elder is 240 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:33,480 seventy seventy Okay, yep, yeah, I'm not gonna be happy. But 241 00:18:33,559 --> 00:18:37,519 oh yeah, First of all, I'm gonna vote for um somebody else. 242 00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:42,160 I shouldn't. I shouldn't WoT fall on the on on your show, because 243 00:18:42,319 --> 00:18:45,559 no, I was listening. That's my personal business, right. I shouldn't 244 00:18:45,559 --> 00:18:52,640 be announceding on the radio. Uh what what shouldn't you be announcing that you're 245 00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:53,920 going to announce anyway? Why? I'm right? I think I already. 246 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,759 I think I already announced it. Im An, you won't be around in 247 00:18:56,759 --> 00:19:02,680 the general lux Nicky Hilly in the primary election. Oh you, you will 248 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,799 be on an election in November. Probably she will not be the nominee. 249 00:19:06,839 --> 00:19:10,000 The nominee will be Donald Trump, and we will get a rematch of Trump 250 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,039 versus Biden. God help us all. And I'm not even a religious man. 251 00:19:14,839 --> 00:19:18,599 I say, Biden's already beat Trump before, So don't you think he 252 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,079 would have a good chase of beat them again? I think so. I 253 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,000 think so. Jen Jenny doesn't think so. We disagree on that. I 254 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,759 think he will beat Uh, I think he will beat Trump again. But 255 00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:33,400 I you know my feelings, easy g and I think we agree on this. 256 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,240 I'd prefer that neither of them were running. Uh, I say, 257 00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:40,519 we don't need to elect an old the president three times in our own Yeah, 258 00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:41,680 I say, let's let I know, it's a little you know, 259 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,720 it's a little scary, you know, putting the kids in charge. But 260 00:19:45,799 --> 00:19:49,599 I think we should elect a young, fresh faced sixty five to sixty seven 261 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,519 year old to get it, some some young whipper snapper in their sixties to 262 00:19:53,519 --> 00:19:56,480 get in there. And uh, you know, we don't need to be 263 00:19:56,839 --> 00:20:02,160 electing. You know, Biden will be eighty two upon his inauguration if he 264 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,160 wins the second term. Trump is in his late seventy. Seen his little 265 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,599 promo, uh, you know, vote for Me on h W m R. 266 00:20:08,839 --> 00:20:11,680 It was like three minutes. Oh god, it sounds good.

I 270 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,000 mean I think by vote why, I'm running and I gotta do this and 271 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,079 do that and it's like, oh, Okay, finish the job. That's 272 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,480 the that's the slogan. Apparent promised the moon. And then they say, 273 00:20:34,519 --> 00:20:38,039 well, I don't have time to finish all four years. They gotta have 274 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,759 another four years. Well, you know, very rarely a president loses. 275 00:20:42,839 --> 00:20:49,559 I don't Joe, oh god, Trump's senior laws, but very rarely the 276 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:55,400 president of all trouble laws. Did you just say, really, president loses 277 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,440 for the second term, right, did you just say Trump senior? Because 278 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:03,880 I don't remember Fred Trump ever being president, Biden senior. Biden he didn't 279 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,400 win the election. In court, Trump still thinking he won, but Trumps 280 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,359 he lost. Biden. Very often, president does not win your election. 281 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,440 You don't see that very often. Oh that's true. Yes, well you 282 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,640 do have a the Ricardo, then why not? I guess yeah, the 283 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,559 Ricardo. Then I went, yeah, I mean and and coming.

The president lose the second term, right, 291 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,839 does happen very often? Doesn't happen very often? We can only hope 292 00:21:48,839 --> 00:21:52,359 he does. But then again, we're stuck with the other guys. Damn 293 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,519 Ford, Damn we don't. Yeah, I'm gonna go back to voting third 294 00:21:56,519 --> 00:22:02,079 party. I think for this election. Hey, I vote on doctors. 295 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,480 I voted for Gary Johnson in both twenty twelve and twenty sixteen. I might 296 00:22:06,519 --> 00:22:08,279 be you know at this point, Hey, he's not running again, though, 297 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,279 is he? I doubt it? But hey, you know what, 298 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,240 give me the guy, give me that Larry Old. I know he won't 299 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:21,240 be he won't be on the radio report though I said, I don't know. 300 00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:26,759 I say, give me the craziest third party independent candidate you can find 301 00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:29,839 and run him, and I'll vote for him. How's that? Screw it? 302 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:30,759 Once I got with a thing on his head, that brew on his 303 00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:34,400 side, the seat running again, vermin supreme, I certainly hope so I'll 304 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,640 vote for him. He's on your he's been on your show. Right. 305 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,319 Has he been on your shoulder for Yeah, he's been on my show multiple 306 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,400 times, yes, only on only on the phone. Has he been live 307 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,240 in in the studio. I don't think he's been live in studio here with 308 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,480 me at w MNH. He was when I did the television show. But 309 00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:55,920 we've had him on the phone, We've had him to a call in here 310 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,680 since I've been at WMH. I believe, yeah, yeah, the guy. 311 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,799 That's a lot of good ideas, but I don't think he has great 312 00:23:03,839 --> 00:23:10,000 ideas. EZG Listen. First of all, dental hygiene is very very important. 313 00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:12,279 Um, I'm not sure about the free pony. I think it's a 314 00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:18,400 great idea as long as it's not compulsory. You shouldn't force people to have 315 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,319 a free pony because what if they have nowhere to put it now? Our 316 00:23:21,319 --> 00:23:23,240 friend Nick Murdoch, who is in the chat room says in all caps, 317 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,559 free ponies for all Americans. I would say I would make it like, 318 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,599 you know, like Pete Boudagage, he had the medicare for all who want 319 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,720 it. That was his thing. I would say I would modify that to 320 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:42,559 free ponies for all who want them, not everyone can handle of Pete Bodajage. 321 00:23:45,039 --> 00:23:48,279 No, the other guy who's just talking about Verbon Supreme, the guy 322 00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:52,160 in charge, the guy in charge of the roads, the guy in charge 323 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:57,519 of the roads. No, no, you're red for president before Pete Boudagage 324 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,519 the transport. Shouldn't you run again? Yeah? I said that before and 325 00:24:02,559 --> 00:24:04,599 you said no. Uh yes. I do think he'll run again in the 326 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,640 future. He's not going to challenge Biden, if that's why you're getting at. 327 00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:14,400 But he'll run again in the future.

Yeah, I saw 338 00:24:57,039 --> 00:25:00,440 him there too. He hadn't met a lot of the camp. Well, 339 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,640 one last question, are you guys gonna be done as a general election? 340 00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:07,920 I mean the primary probably in the early January. You guys would be done 341 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,559 at the hotel again. Oh, I don't know yet. That's the ways 342 00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:15,599 off. Probably I would assume. Yeah, I was a good radio guys 343 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,599 went through all the people and yeah, it was fun. Yeah, I 344 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:26,759 enjoyed that very much. Stephen Conley Senior came and visited us. Stephen Connley 345 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,319 Senior with the guy with the secret document. I wasn't gonna mention that name. 346 00:25:30,839 --> 00:25:34,640 I wasn't gonna mentioning a guy's name anymore. I have a very nice 347 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,079 picture of myself with Tulsi Gabbard from that event. Of course, now she's 348 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,680 a total psycho. But yeah, I met her man, heard the matter, 349 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,319 heard the bookery. Uh huh. I was I was gonna vote for 350 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,519 him, but the I didn't. I wasn't an independent that time. I 351 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,759 voted for the other guy. Oh. Probably would be along the studio anymore. 352 00:25:53,799 --> 00:25:59,359 But you brought it up, easyg. This is very important because Scott 353 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,279 Robinson ings this up and I know you're not. This is not an official 354 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,200 entertainment report, but perhaps you can answer this. Scott Robinson says, I 355 00:26:06,279 --> 00:26:10,400 heard the Hulkster is running for president. That's who I'm voting for. How 356 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:17,319 can you confirm that? Easyg Are we gonna get some news his hulkamania gonna 357 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:22,880 run wild in the White House? Yeah, Rustling one more thing I heard 358 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,440 that. I think it was just kind of causing trouble as he always does. 359 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,240 The ce him Funk was hiding out back and he was talking to people 360 00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:33,000 and talking to Triple as he said, Hi, I guess, and then 361 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,000 visiting Mantel and hit the road. You think that's all about. I think 362 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,680 it's all but it's all good. It's all about. It's nothing of the 363 00:26:38,759 --> 00:26:44,400 sea there. He's still contract a W right, He's only it's twenty minutes. 364 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,599 Do you think it's gonna be I don't think he's gonna go so w 365 00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:52,160 to leave on good terms. He is still under contract with a E W. 366 00:26:52,960 --> 00:27:00,240 His appearance backstage at a w w E event was either a publicity son 367 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,960 or he genuinely wanted to bury the bury the hatchet and hang out for a 368 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,359 little bit. But yeah, they had to ask him to leave. Yeah, 369 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,880 he was there briefly. Well it was in Chicago and that's where he 370 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,759 lives. Um, but they did have to ask him to leave because they 371 00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:19,680 don't want to get accused of contract tampering because then they get right, yeah, 372 00:27:19,759 --> 00:27:22,839 think about that. Yep, yep, So they didn't want him sticking 373 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,039 around. Who knows I wanted his contract for it. They don't really ad 374 00:27:26,039 --> 00:27:33,200 outside anymore. They don't want it really announce all along the contractor for it. 375 00:27:33,279 --> 00:27:36,920 Plus they got like that want didn't want to give that information. He's 376 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,079 on I don't know if it's going back. He's on a multi yefferent business. 377 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,559 I wrote that on the Facebook. Messager wrote that. He said, 378 00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:51,480 it's not to do about nothing. You don't think it's coming back to WWE, 379 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,559 right, No, what's your opinion? Maybe someday, But he's got 380 00:27:55,559 --> 00:27:57,160 it. He's not a multi year deal with a e W he's going back 381 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,480 to He's supposed to be on the June of that they're running in Chicago. 382 00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:06,759 They'll be there and then talk about him being on the Saturday Saturday night show. 383 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,279 Yes, and Eric could that was a bad idea their new Saturday show. 384 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,839 Eric who you you're Eric, No, the other the other Eric Privlos 385 00:28:15,839 --> 00:28:18,559 the guy does we reviewed? Oh, Eric Filcher? Yes, so I 386 00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:23,599 thought maybe you meant Eric Saturday Night show? I agree with Yes, how 387 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:30,079 much? How much wrestling you watch? EASYG? Yeah, all right, 388 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:36,039 well that's my my store of fat. Go open the lines with somebody else, 389 00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:38,720 easy G. You are a real American? All right? Very good? 390 00:28:38,759 --> 00:28:48,000 Wow, let's just hear a little bit of this Shelley. Yes, 391 00:28:48,119 --> 00:28:52,480 I genuinely like that song. I always have a little bit of Rick Derringer, 392 00:28:52,599 --> 00:28:56,839 real American who I believe. I think he's actually Canadian, but I'm 393 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:03,599 trying to research that. Um I actually uh. I got in touch with 394 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:10,559 his management once, Rick Deringer's management, and uh, I asked for I 395 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,279 asked to see his uh you know, they claim he is actually an American 396 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,799 and I said, well, I'd like to see his birth certificate and uh 397 00:29:18,319 --> 00:29:22,200 and I got a response. I said, well, are you one of 398 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,240 those people who if even if we show you as birth certificate, You're just 399 00:29:25,319 --> 00:29:27,880 going to claim it was fake and photoshopped and still not believe it. And 400 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,920 I said, uh no, I'm not one of those folks. But point 401 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,559 taken six ZO three two five O six Z seven is a number if you'd 402 00:29:36,559 --> 00:29:38,640 like to join us today. Six three two five O six zero seven. 403 00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:42,160 Uh. Miriam Bannish joins us in the Facebook laugh chat, Hello, Miriam. 404 00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:47,839 Nick Murdoch says, Jesus mayor Pete is young forty one. I'm older 405 00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:51,240 than Pete. Why are they letting kids run for potus? I know, 406 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,920 yes, I mean it's crazy, right, I mean, you know you 407 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,279 gotta be I think, uh, you know, in this era, you 408 00:29:59,279 --> 00:30:04,119 should be at least seventy seven years old. Nick Murdock also says Tulsie was 409 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,440 always a total psycho, grew up in a cult. When she was like 410 00:30:08,519 --> 00:30:14,640 seventeen or eighteen, she was anti LGBT. Oh, she was in anti 411 00:30:14,759 --> 00:30:18,240 LGBT ads. I didn't know that. But her weird cult decided to go 412 00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:22,279 Democrats, so she did. But now not so much going Democrat. Oh 413 00:30:22,319 --> 00:30:26,319 yeah, she's totally flipped. I mean now she's uh yeah, she's she's 414 00:30:26,319 --> 00:30:32,880 totally moved over, you know, but but she's she cashed in. You 415 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,599 know. It's uh, um listen. I I've always said, obviously people 416 00:30:38,039 --> 00:30:41,480 change over time. Some people do, some people don't. Some people change 417 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,720 politically over time. They evolved or they evolved, depending on your point of 418 00:30:45,759 --> 00:30:49,640 view. And uh, but she's she's one of those who I don't think 419 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:55,559 it's genuine with her at all. I think she uh the stuff she says 420 00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:02,359 now, uh, you know, it's like whoa, you know, she's 421 00:31:02,359 --> 00:31:06,319 she was going on Tucker Carlson on a regular basis and going on there and 422 00:31:06,319 --> 00:31:11,359 disagreeing with him about everything. Uh she's uh, she's totally pro Russia, 423 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,960 anti Ukraine, as was Tucker Carlson. Probably why they got along so well. 424 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,880 Uh not sorry to see that guy go, you know, uh going 425 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:25,680 on you know he uh he actually, I mean we might get into it 426 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,279 today if we have time. There's there's uh some growing consensus about why uh 427 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:37,880 he was given the heav hoe from Fox News. But uh uh you know 428 00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:42,759 he was probably the biggest pro Russian propagandist in all of conservative media. Well 429 00:31:42,839 --> 00:31:45,559 yeah, I mean he I shouldn't say probably he was, you know, 430 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,160 I mean he came right out and said, I remember when the invasion first 431 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,960 happened. He came right out and said he was he was rooting for Putin. 432 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:59,000 Um, you know, I don't know, Uh, I mean, 433 00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:04,920 it's one thing. Listen, it is one thing to have questions about. 434 00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:08,440 Listen, I've said it on the show. I mean, I have questions. 435 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:14,400 I've doubts. I've worries about potential nuclear escalation with the Russians, for 436 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,039 example, and I think that's the legitimate thing to be concerned about. And 437 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:22,319 our involvement in this. I know, you know I mentioned Billy Painter earlier 438 00:32:22,319 --> 00:32:25,960 because tonight my dad is going to be on Billy's show along with John Grosvenor, 439 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,079 and I wonder if, I wonder if they'll get into that. You 440 00:32:30,079 --> 00:32:37,599 know, my dad's position is he's very pro Ukraine and very anti Russia and 441 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,000 anti Putin. And I know, I know, I don't know what John 442 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,640 Grovenor's position is. I know Billy's position is, you know, we shouldn't 443 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:49,559 be uh, we shouldn't be involved. My position is, of course, 444 00:32:49,599 --> 00:32:52,559 we have to stand up to Russia and we can't let this abide. And 445 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:57,039 I think we've been doing the right thing in helping Ukraine. But obviously, 446 00:32:57,119 --> 00:33:00,920 if you know, if it begins to look like actually are on the break 447 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,559 of World War three, I might change my mind. But so but the 448 00:33:04,559 --> 00:33:07,880 point of making is it's one thing to have questions and doubts and concerns. 449 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:13,559 In fact, I think it's healthy to do so if you're if you're totally 450 00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:17,640 committed to one position, you know, you might not be thinking about it 451 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:23,599 hard enough if you don't have any doubts at all about how we're proceeding and 452 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:31,279 how the United States is managing our involvement there. Having said that, Tucker 453 00:33:31,319 --> 00:33:37,039 Carlson would not present it that way on his show, and neither would Tulsey 454 00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:44,920 Gabbert, and neither would others on both the right and the left who continue 455 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,559 to Although the ones on the left that I see online like what's his name, 456 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,839 Jackson Hinkle and people like this, I don't think. I think they're 457 00:33:53,839 --> 00:33:57,480 just in it for the grift they see. They see a lane there that 458 00:33:57,519 --> 00:34:00,160 they can make money with. Um. Jackson Hinkle definitely a grifter in my 459 00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:07,760 view. But it's one thing, like I said, to have doubts and 460 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:12,960 questions and concerns. It's another to just be totally like, well, yes, 461 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,800 we have to support Putin, you know. I mean, maybe Trump 462 00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:22,639 laid the ground work for all of that when he stood next to Putin and 463 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:28,639 and Helsinki incided with him against our own American intelligence agencies. But but that 464 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,239 was Tucker Carlson's position. No, he's he's pro putin. He wasn't shy 465 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:37,559 about telling you, and he wasn't subtle about it. And uh so I 466 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:42,239 am happy to see him gone, frankly, but not that he's really gone. 467 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,239 He's gonna pop up somewhere and he'll he'll he'll have taken a big chunk 468 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,280 of that audience with him. Oh sorry, I didn't see this in time, 469 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,920 Scott. But Scott was asking in the chat room, easy, can 470 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,519 you give a shout out to my granddaughter Amara. She's in the car with 471 00:34:55,599 --> 00:35:00,360 me. I'll give her a shout out. Shout outs to Amara or Amera. 472 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:07,480 I apologize if I'm not saying that correctly. M Yeah, Pete Bootage. 473 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,679 Miriam brings it up to, Yeah, Pete Bootage only forty one years 474 00:35:09,679 --> 00:35:14,360 old. Yeah, when he was when he first got into the presidential race 475 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:21,840 in twenty twenty. I mean, he was by far the youngest, the 476 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:27,159 youngest candidate in the field. It's hard to believe Tulsi Gabbard was also on 477 00:35:27,199 --> 00:35:31,079 that stage with the others. So I'll tell you, but yeah, Axios 478 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:37,239 does have the story up here. This was Yeah, April twenty First, 479 00:35:39,679 --> 00:35:43,760 this one up Larry Elder, as EASYG brought up. He says he is 480 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,360 running for the presidency. Oh, but the thing that I wanted to look 481 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,960 at, so I want to see what this, uh this site is that 482 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:57,800 doctor Peterson, Jordan Peterson was recommending to Chris James this self authoring dot com. 483 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:07,039 I'm curious what this is, Okay, I guess it's just about self 484 00:36:07,079 --> 00:36:12,280 publishing your own books. Why would Jordan Peterson send Chris James that site? 485 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,079 Though, Like, what's what's the point of that? Is there some sort 486 00:36:16,079 --> 00:36:22,599 of joke there I'm not getting. I don't understand my feelings about I can 487 00:36:22,639 --> 00:36:25,280 tell you though this my feelings about and I suspect Chris James and I might 488 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:30,960 disagree on this. My feelings about doctor Jordan Peterson are a little complex because, 489 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,800 on the one hand, I've seen interviews with him where he's made political 490 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,920 arguments where not only do I disagree with him, but some of the things 491 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:45,679 he says, I think he sounds himself like he is might be insane. 492 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:51,000 On the other hand, some of his self help stuff, some of the 493 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,079 videos that he has posted. I haven't read any of his books with some 494 00:36:53,119 --> 00:36:58,239 of the videos that he's posted on YouTube just giving advice, mental health advice. 495 00:36:59,079 --> 00:37:04,920 Some of that is actually really good. You know, he posted a 496 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,039 video I remember there was one day, you know, I struggle with depression 497 00:37:09,039 --> 00:37:14,880 and whatnot and ideations that are not helpful, and there's one day I was 498 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,760 looking around for it, for stuff online to try trying to I don't know, 499 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,760 just reaching out for something on YouTube that I can watch that maybe it 500 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,480 would make me feel better. And I've been doing that for as long as 501 00:37:23,519 --> 00:37:27,719 YouTube has existed, and I've known about it, looking for things to try 502 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,880 to make me feel better. Nothing ever actually does, but I keep searching, 503 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:37,440 and I stumbled upon one of his videos and Jordan Peterson he was talking 504 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:43,239 about suicidal ideations and he was saying and this I think he said it was 505 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,119 something that someone had told him or something that he had read. So he 506 00:37:47,159 --> 00:37:52,400 didn't come up with this concept, but he was repeating it to others because 507 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,440 it helped him and his own depression, with his own depression and his ideations, 508 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,320 and he would repeat it to others. He would say, you know, 509 00:38:00,039 --> 00:38:05,840 as far as um now they say unliving yourself instead of the other term, 510 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,880 because you know, you I suppose if I, if I use the 511 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,079 other term too much, I won't be able to post this video on YouTube 512 00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:16,480 after. But as far as harming yourself, let's just put it that way, 513 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,840 he would he would tell people, you know, put it, just 514 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,960 put it off. Just put it off to tomorrow. You can always harm 515 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:28,480 yourself tomorrow. You don't have to do it today. Procrastinate And it sounds 516 00:38:28,519 --> 00:38:30,000 weird, right, you know, Oh, that's how you deal with it, 517 00:38:30,039 --> 00:38:35,719 just put it off. But the idea is every day you procrastinate if 518 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:40,079 you're having thoughts about harming yourself. Every day, when that when those thoughts 519 00:38:40,159 --> 00:38:45,519 creep in, you just say, you know what, i have this urge, 520 00:38:45,599 --> 00:38:47,719 this ideation, but I'm gonna put it off to tomorrow. I can 521 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,239 do it tomorrow. I don't have to do it right now. And then 522 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,079 every day you just put it off another day and another day and another day, 523 00:38:53,679 --> 00:38:59,000 until you eventually get to a point where you get a break from the 524 00:38:59,039 --> 00:39:02,079 ideations and and you don't think about it anymore and you're in a better place. 525 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:07,480 But just a sort of a quick, easy way, almost like a 526 00:39:07,559 --> 00:39:09,880 cheat code, you might call it if you're a gamer, just a way 527 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:15,320 to deal with that ideation in the moment. Okay, you're you're having these 528 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,360 thoughts, you recognize them, but then you say the way that you deal 529 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,159 with them is you say, Okay, this is what I'm thinking about doing, 530 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,880 but I'm gonna but I can always do it tomorrow. I don't have 531 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:30,840 to do it today, you know, And it becomes a way of just 532 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,880 you know, you keep putting it off and putting it off, and you 533 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:37,719 know, it's the nature of procrastination, right, if you're a procrastinator, 534 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,360 if you're someone who puts things off, a lot of the things you put 535 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,599 off, you just never end up getting around too, right because you put 536 00:39:43,639 --> 00:39:45,840 them off so long that after a while there doesn't seem to be a point. 537 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,639 You know, you say I'll do that when I get around to it. 538 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,679 Most of the things, if you say i'll get around to it, 539 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,039 you're probably that's another way of saying that you're never actually going to do it. 540 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,920 So think think of it that way when you have those ideations. Anywa, 541 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,159 I watched that video where he talked about it, and it I gotta 542 00:40:04,199 --> 00:40:07,119 tell you, it resonated with me. I really got something from that. 543 00:40:07,159 --> 00:40:10,400 I was like, all right, if I'm having those thoughts. Okay, 544 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:15,079 I'm thinking about this, but I'm gonna put it off. I'm not gonna 545 00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:19,559 do it right now. I can always do it tomorrow. For whatever reason, 546 00:40:19,639 --> 00:40:22,079 that connected with me in my mind. And I've I've seen some of 547 00:40:22,119 --> 00:40:25,480 his other videos too, that where he talks about depression and ideations and so 548 00:40:25,559 --> 00:40:30,800 forth, and I do I find um, I find his self help stuff 549 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:38,159 pretty interesting and um and useful. I heard David Packman once say something similar. 550 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:43,360 If you're not familiar with David Packman, he's he's an online he's a 551 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:50,320 content creator. He and uh, he's someone who's also very critical of Jordan 552 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:55,639 Peterson politically, but he did acknowledge he said, uh. In one of 553 00:40:55,639 --> 00:40:59,280 his videos, he said, you know, someone who helps self help stuff 554 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:06,400 is actually pretty good. Jay Fed in the chat room says ice bath can 555 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,760 help with depression. I don't know. If I get hypothermia, I'm gonna 556 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:14,320 probably be more depressed. But Jay Fed he's always trying to talk people into 557 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,360 the ice bath. No, it sounds like it's it's working wonderus for you, 558 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,039 Jay Fed, and you're you're still you're still getting something from it. 559 00:41:21,039 --> 00:41:23,119 So I think that's great in all seriousness. I think that's awesome. Wouldn't 560 00:41:23,159 --> 00:41:27,280 be for me, but I think that's awesome. Miriam says in the chat, 561 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,039 I had a bad feeling about Tulsi from the start. I don't know 562 00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:34,599 why, but apparently it was accurate. I need to trust my gut. 563 00:41:35,159 --> 00:41:43,039 Oh yeah. Miriam also said obsessing about some intense interest can raise dopamine levels, 564 00:41:43,159 --> 00:41:47,559 which is super helpful. Watching puppy videos. Listen to a singing clown, 565 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,519 Yeah, that one just works for me, of course, referring to 566 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,400 Puddles, Puddles, Pity Party, the singing clown. He's very talented. 567 00:41:55,239 --> 00:42:00,079 Jenny actually went to see went with Miriam to a show to see Puddles and 568 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,800 conquered. Not too too long ago, Chris Rose from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts 569 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,880 joins us in the Facebook live chat. Hello Chris anyway, but I applaud 570 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:15,800 what our friend prank stallone on Twitter at the EJS what he does. And 571 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:27,719 I am truly baffled by how doctor Peterson chose to respond to Chris's query about 572 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,360 the sat the satirical website. I'll tell you what, though, there's always 573 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:35,400 people who will believe. I mean, I don't think anyone really believes the 574 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,719 Onion if they see a news story from the Onion. Everyone knows the Onion, 575 00:42:38,199 --> 00:42:42,719 but or Babylon be. I think that one's pretty obvious. But some 576 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:49,599 of these saterial websites, they'll actually fool some people and then people will will 577 00:42:49,639 --> 00:42:52,719 see them. It's happened to me where I've shared out a news story from 578 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:57,960 a satire site and then people you know, most people know, but there's 579 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:05,719 always somebody who who will start commenting on it because they they think it's real. 580 00:43:07,119 --> 00:43:10,840 It's like, no, no satire, what's the there's a military one 581 00:43:12,079 --> 00:43:19,199 like duffel Bag News or something. Um that it's it's funny, but not 582 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:23,480 everyone gets it. It's but that's the nature of humor though anyway. Everybody's 583 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:28,519 sense of humor is different, and there's some types of humor. Listen, 584 00:43:28,639 --> 00:43:30,280 I've said things. I have a very dry sense of humor, and I 585 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,760 can be very uh. I can say almost anything with a straight face, 586 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,119 no matter how completely absurd and insane sounding it is. And I'm sure that 587 00:43:37,199 --> 00:43:39,960 I've said things on this show where I was kidding, and I assume the 588 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:44,599 audience knows I'm kidding, but there was probably somebody out there listening, especially 589 00:43:44,639 --> 00:43:45,960 if as a newer listener who doesn't know my sense of humor, who thought 590 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:51,400 that I was completely serious. Um. Yeah, Miriam says, not everyone 591 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,679 gets satire. Yeah, satire, it's not. It's not a kind of 592 00:43:53,760 --> 00:44:00,400 humor that everyone can really appreciate. Nick Murdock says, Not Even a Show 593 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:05,079 is how I found Matt Connerton unleafed. Yes, thank you for that, 594 00:44:05,199 --> 00:44:07,679 Nick. Yes, well, we're so glad that you found us, my 595 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:14,000 friend. We are so glad. Yeah. I've definitely benefited from being it's 596 00:44:14,039 --> 00:44:16,199 so funny. If you're a long time listener, you already know the whole 597 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:20,559 story, So I won't go through the whole thing. But the way that 598 00:44:20,639 --> 00:44:27,239 we originally wound up on Not Even a Show was the very first time because 599 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,199 I went back and I found all of them the very first time that Chris 600 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:35,519 James ever called us. When I realized, like months and months later, 601 00:44:36,199 --> 00:44:38,719 who he actually was and where he was from and what he was doing with 602 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:43,039 this content, I just thought he was a prank caller. I always suspected 603 00:44:43,079 --> 00:44:45,599 it was something specific that he was doing, but I wasn't sure what it 604 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:50,679 was. I thought it was for some sort of content, but I found 605 00:44:50,679 --> 00:45:00,800 the very first episode of not even a show where he called us and yeah. 606 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,920 Nick says Chris would order a pizza and say a swear word yeah. 607 00:45:05,039 --> 00:45:10,760 The very first time Chris called us and he put us in his show, 608 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:16,880 he introduced the clip. This was before we became friends. He introduced the 609 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:21,599 clip by referring to me as a right wing shock jock. He said, 610 00:45:21,599 --> 00:45:25,519 Matt Connerton is a right wing shock jock, and we had some fun and 611 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:30,840 because apparently that's how he perceived me initially, which is funny because I'm not 612 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:36,679 right wing clearly, but I must have I don't whatever, something about me 613 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:42,760 gave him the impression that I was, and I don't know, I don't 614 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,960 know why. And I remember I was on a show that he was doing. 615 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:51,199 What was the name of it. He was doing this other show where 616 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:52,760 he would have guests on an interview of them. I can't remember the name 617 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:58,679 of the show now because he's had a bunch of different content over the years. 618 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,199 But but I remember asking about that, and he didn't remember that actually, 619 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:06,079 that he had that misconception about me. But anyway, but he learned 620 00:46:06,679 --> 00:46:12,639 he learned more about you know over time that I'm not conservative and he learned 621 00:46:13,119 --> 00:46:15,480 that I actually have a sense of humor and you can prank call my show, 622 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:20,840 and I'll actually go along with the bit because to me it's interesting and 623 00:46:21,199 --> 00:46:22,199 I'm like, let's have fun with it, and you can call and make 624 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,880 fun of me. I don't take myself that seriously. I take the show 625 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:29,239 seriously in the sense that I'm passionate about it and I take pride in it, 626 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,320 but I never take myself that seriously, which is important. And we 627 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:37,079 ended up becoming friends, so which which I'm very happy about. Well, 628 00:46:37,119 --> 00:46:40,159 we should get to the big political news of the day, which of course 629 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:46,599 is uh sorry, I'm getting a sleepy just thinking about it. But Joe 630 00:46:46,639 --> 00:46:52,280 Biden, eighty year old Joe Biden didn't announce his candidacy before we get into 631 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,039 it. And again, we're not gonna spend a lot of time on it 632 00:46:54,079 --> 00:46:57,400 because, like I said to me, it's a big yawn and a snore, 633 00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,199 as I've demonstrated, because we knew it was common, we knew he 634 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:06,960 was going to announce. It's going to be Trump versus Biden again in twenty 635 00:47:07,039 --> 00:47:12,760 twenty four. That's what we get. Doesn't have to be that way, 636 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:17,079 but that's what. It's good that that's the trajectory that we're on. I 637 00:47:17,119 --> 00:47:23,320 don't see it changing. But let me give the studio line number again quickly, 638 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:29,079 six three two five six seven six three two five six seven. But 639 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,000 one thing that Biden did say that in his speech at you know, he 640 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,679 gave a union speech. He's very pro union. Of course I am too. 641 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:43,840 That is something we agree on. But during the speech, and again 642 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:50,760 it sort of served as you know, it wasn't an official rally speech obviously, 643 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,760 um, that wasn't why he was there, but it did sort of 644 00:47:53,800 --> 00:48:00,559 serve as that by default. But he quoted Trump on something and it's something 645 00:48:00,599 --> 00:48:04,159 that I've talked about. So if you're a longtime listener of the show, 646 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,119 you know I'm not a big fan of the forty fifth president, Donald John 647 00:48:07,159 --> 00:48:14,159 Trump. I have many criticisms, but I while I have my opinions, 648 00:48:14,199 --> 00:48:16,320 I try to be fair and give credit where a due And something that I 649 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:22,519 always gave Trump credit for was his position on the debt ceiling. Well here 650 00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:30,239 this is what we'll actually here. We'll just go through the article because it's 651 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:34,280 not very long, but we'll get to that. But Biden quoted something Trump 652 00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,320 said because you know we're And by the way, I am not to be 653 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,920 a downer and not to alarm anybody. I am genuinely worried. I have 654 00:48:40,039 --> 00:48:45,639 the same level of worry right now that I did in the summer of twenty 655 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:51,679 eleven, twelve years ago about the debt limit. And you know, I 656 00:48:51,679 --> 00:48:54,840 don't know if people know this, but we've already technically crashed through it. 657 00:48:55,360 --> 00:49:00,480 Right now. The government is operating under what they call extraordinary measures. I 658 00:49:00,519 --> 00:49:06,480 think that's the term, extraordinary measures where they find ways to pay for stuff, 659 00:49:06,679 --> 00:49:13,599 basically even having already passed a debt limit. But eventually that will expire, 660 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:20,760 could be in June, could be sooner, and when that does, 661 00:49:21,079 --> 00:49:23,039 the country will go into default for the first time in our nation's history. 662 00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:27,199 So we do this dance with the debt limit. I think they should get 663 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,639 rid of the debt limit and then we don't have to do this dance. 664 00:49:30,039 --> 00:49:31,840 But something I always gave Trump credit for it was he was right. He 665 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:37,280 said, we are not going to negotiate on the debt limit. We will 666 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,960 not use that as a negotiating tool. It's reckless and stupid. I remember 667 00:49:40,079 --> 00:49:44,639 mcmulvaney at the time when this came up during the Trump administration. By the 668 00:49:44,679 --> 00:49:47,840 way, Republicans voted three times during the Trump administration to raise the debt limit. 669 00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:52,039 No mcdeal and I remember mcmulvaney making the rounds on the Sunday morning talk 670 00:49:52,079 --> 00:49:57,280 shows and explaining it on more than one occasion. This is the president's position. 671 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,960 We don't use the debt limit to negoti for anything. It's a separate 672 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,880 thing. We can't fool around whether it's too dangerous. And he was right. 673 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,719 That was something Trump was absolutely right about. I'm worried about the current 674 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:14,960 trajectory of things, however, because the Biden administration is saying, we want 675 00:50:15,039 --> 00:50:20,199 a just raise the debt limit like you had been doing during the previous administration. 676 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,679 We want a clean It should be a clean bill, separate from everything. 677 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:27,159 No negotiating on it. Just raised the debt limit on schedule so we 678 00:50:27,159 --> 00:50:30,960 don't risk default default. And of course Kevin McCarthy is saying, no, 679 00:50:31,519 --> 00:50:36,639 we have spending cuts that we want and we want to negotiate, and at 680 00:50:36,679 --> 00:50:43,400 some point they're going to have to negotiate. I mean, Biden's position is 681 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:50,719 correct. I believe in principle the debt limit should be voted on separately as 682 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,760 a clean bill, and it should be done with because, like I said, 683 00:50:53,119 --> 00:50:59,000 Trump was correct, Reagan was correct, this is something you have to 684 00:50:59,079 --> 00:51:04,400 You cannot. You cannot risk defaulting on the full faith and credit of the 685 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,719 United States. You can't. It has never happened in our history, and 686 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,840 it will be catastrophic if it does happen. It's not a question of whether 687 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:15,159 or not it will be catastrophic, it's just a question of how catastrophic. 688 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:21,800 So so, Biden is correct in principle. However, I think he's going 689 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:25,880 to turn out to be incorrect in practice. You know, the principle is 690 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:30,719 correct, but I don't think he's going to be able to avoid some sort 691 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:35,639 of negotiation. But Kevin McCarthy, he's walking a high wire because you know, 692 00:51:35,679 --> 00:51:37,599 he's got people. There are people in the House, in the Republican 693 00:51:37,639 --> 00:51:40,920 House, he's House Freedom Caucus people, some of them who who would actually 694 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,159 rather default to say we won't vote on the debt limit for any reason, 695 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:51,679 we won't vote to raise it. Some of them, I think, genuinely 696 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,280 don't understand the difference between the debt limit and the federal budget itself. That's 697 00:51:55,320 --> 00:52:00,480 a problem. But Anyway, this is the one part of Biden's speech that 698 00:52:00,519 --> 00:52:06,719 I thought was interesting. So again this is from media. I thought this 699 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:08,880 was a smart play. I don't think it'll yield anything ultimately, but it 700 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:15,280 makes sense. Biden quotes Trump to slam House Republicans using the debt ceiling as 701 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:20,639 a negotiating wedge. So it says here President Joe Biden spoke at North America's 702 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:25,239 Building Trades Unions conference in Washington today and torrent House Republicans using the debt ceiling 703 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:30,559 as a negotiating wedge to cut spending, even quoting former President Donald Trump to 704 00:52:30,599 --> 00:52:34,960 make his point. Biden spoke just hours after officially announcing his reelection bid, 705 00:52:35,119 --> 00:52:38,199 and while he never directly mentioned the campaign launch, the President took aim at 706 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:43,840 MAGA Republicans. Notably, MSNBC was the only cable news network to carry the 707 00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:50,519 speech live. While speaking about closing tax loopholes for corporations and animated, Biden 708 00:52:50,559 --> 00:52:54,159 declared, quote, we won't even talk about raising taxes just to stop the 709 00:52:54,239 --> 00:53:01,320 subsidies. Same old trickle down dressed up in magaclothing and unquote Biden raged as 710 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:05,719 he had announced the GOP opposition of making big corporations pay more in taxes. 711 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,599 Quote, only worse because this time they're saying that if they get their way, 712 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,960 if they don't get their way, if Biden doesn't agree with them and 713 00:53:14,039 --> 00:53:17,199 agree to all the cuts and these tax increases for others, working people, 714 00:53:17,519 --> 00:53:23,559 they're going to let the country default on its debt. Unquote. Oh, 715 00:53:23,679 --> 00:53:28,519 then he said, quote this is debt that took over two hundred years to 716 00:53:28,519 --> 00:53:31,639 accumulate. The last administration alone increase the debt by nearly forty percent in four 717 00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:36,320 years. In four years, and every single time they passed the debt ceiling 718 00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:42,119 without any question. Default would be totally irresponsible. It would mean cuts in 719 00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,719 Social Security, Medicare, higher interest rates for your credit cards, car loans, 720 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:52,400 mortgages, the entire economy put at risk. Moody's you know that Economic 721 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,800 Operation had comments on the economy. They said the Republican plan would cost seven 722 00:53:55,880 --> 00:54:01,320 hundred eighty thousand jobs, seven hundred eighty jobs working and middle class seniors paying 723 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:07,880 the price. The speaker likes to quote President Reagan. I love these guys 724 00:54:07,159 --> 00:54:13,519 how they selectively quote people, including makeup quotes for me. While President Reagan 725 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:17,239 made it clear, we pay our debt seriously. Here is a quote from 726 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:22,519 him. He said, the United States has a special responsibility to itself and 727 00:54:22,639 --> 00:54:27,880 the world to meet its obligations. It means we have a well earned reputation, 728 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,320 reliability, and credibility, two things that set us apart from much of 729 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:35,039 the world. Now, I didn't think i'd be quoting Donald Trump, but 730 00:54:35,199 --> 00:54:42,280 even Donald Trump said I can't imagine anyone ever thinking of using the debt ceiling 731 00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:47,000 as a negotiating wedge. And Trump was right. These guys are saying, 732 00:54:47,079 --> 00:54:51,760 unless I agree to cut all these programs by twenty two percent, which is 733 00:54:52,079 --> 00:54:55,599 growing the economy, and cut taxes for the super wealthy incorporations, folks, 734 00:54:55,639 --> 00:55:01,599 America is not a deadbeat nation. We pay our bills. Now. Again, 735 00:55:01,679 --> 00:55:05,840 I don't know. I haven't analyzed what's in the McCarthy plan that was 736 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,440 released. I don't know about that twenty two percent, if that's exactly what 737 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:13,760 it is. And obviously that's a you know, when you negotiate, you 738 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,000 know, you start at something you know you're not going to get, and 739 00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:22,599 you negotiate from there and you try to meet somewhere. But so I don't 740 00:55:22,599 --> 00:55:24,519 know, I don't know about that. How accurate that is, and they 741 00:55:24,519 --> 00:55:27,840 are going to have to sit down at some point. They're just going to 742 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:34,159 have to. But Trump was right, and Reagan was right, and Biden 743 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,360 is correct in quoting them. They were right. I also George W. 744 00:55:38,559 --> 00:55:42,599 Bush, I believe that was his position as well when he was president. 745 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:46,039 Wasn't not We raised the debt ceiling on schedule. You have to, you 746 00:55:46,079 --> 00:55:52,000 cannot risk default. But somewhere along the way, I mean, it started 747 00:55:52,039 --> 00:55:55,760 with the tea partiers, who actually, again, you know, I find 748 00:55:55,800 --> 00:56:01,039 myself doing this more lately. I was a co host on Rock Paper hand 749 00:56:01,039 --> 00:56:06,760 Grenades. Gary Hopper God Rest is Soul. He passed away not long ago. 750 00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:10,199 I love Gary. But on that show, you know, I was 751 00:56:12,119 --> 00:56:16,079 we would have these conservatives on who some of them just didn't seem to get 752 00:56:16,119 --> 00:56:20,440 it. Because again, summer of twenty eleven, I was on that show 753 00:56:20,559 --> 00:56:23,920 at that time, and we would have these people on, who were they 754 00:56:24,039 --> 00:56:30,199 actually wanted? It wasn't just a matter of well we should negotiate spending cuts 755 00:56:30,199 --> 00:56:36,440 and this and that. Some of them. I'm telling you, they sometimes 756 00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:37,519 I tell people this and they say, well, I don't know anyone who 757 00:56:37,519 --> 00:56:42,360 would say that. What I'm telling you, these people exist, and then 758 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,079 then they old elected office, some of them would come on and they would 759 00:56:45,079 --> 00:56:49,239 say, no, we should default. We have to we have to draw 760 00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:52,079 a line somewhere. We should go ahead and default. And it's like, 761 00:56:52,159 --> 00:56:57,000 Okay, do you understand the difference between the dead ceiling and the federal budget. 762 00:56:57,039 --> 00:57:00,079 I'm not sure you do, but they didn't want to hear it. 763 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:06,639 Scary stuff to contemplate. I hope that's not where we're headed. I was 764 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,320 very concerned in the summer of twenty eleven, and I'm very concerned now. 765 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:15,320 But Biden and McCarthy are going to have to sit down and negotiate something. 766 00:57:15,679 --> 00:57:19,159 But part of the problem is, like I said, Biden's correct in principle, 767 00:57:19,199 --> 00:57:23,599 but not in practice, because he's not going to get what he thinks 768 00:57:23,599 --> 00:57:27,960 he wants and what he should want and what we all should want in my 769 00:57:28,119 --> 00:57:31,880 view on this, which is a clean raising of the debt limit. Better 770 00:57:32,079 --> 00:57:37,119 better still, by the way, Mitch McConnell at one point, Senator Mitch 771 00:57:37,199 --> 00:57:42,320 McConnell, obviously the Republican leader he in the past, is proposed, maybe 772 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,000 we should just get rid of the debt limit and then we don't have to 773 00:57:45,039 --> 00:57:51,480 go keep going through this playing chicken with the not just the economy of the 774 00:57:51,559 --> 00:57:54,599 United States, the global economy. The global effects that the United States going 775 00:57:54,639 --> 00:58:00,440 into default would have would probably be quite astrophic. And this is something that 776 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:06,119 economists, you know, across the spectrum will tell you, whether they're Canesians 777 00:58:06,159 --> 00:58:10,440 on the left or supply siders on the right, any economists with any sort 778 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:17,119 of credentials will tell you, yes, default is a very very bad idea. 779 00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:24,679 Ion m vmon four in the chat room that sounds like a the name 780 00:58:24,719 --> 00:58:29,800 of a science fiction film, says, good afternoon, hashtag Matt. We 781 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:34,239 said, what's going on? We are from Greensboro, North Carolina. I 782 00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:38,960 suspected that what are you talking about today? We said? Biden is a 783 00:58:39,039 --> 00:58:45,800 good being president. We say, and Trump just an ex president. Duh. 784 00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:49,920 We said, we are from Greensboro, North Carolina, and we are 785 00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:54,880 a pop singing group of a man man hashtag Matt. Yes. And Nick 786 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:58,800 Murdock says top of the hour, Time for a break? Yes, Nick, 787 00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:07,440 my my my trustee. U producer uh Eon Vmon Forrest says vmon like 788 00:59:07,679 --> 00:59:15,679 that bad hero from Spider Man three? Wait is this is this supposed? 789 00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,719 His name was vi is supposed to be Venom. I don't know. I 790 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,599 don't know what's going I look, listen, guys, I don't know what 791 00:59:22,719 --> 00:59:25,719 goes on in Greensboro, North Carolina. Let me just put it that way, 792 00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:30,119 all right, I'm gonna play a couple of songs. Yeah. Nick 793 00:59:30,199 --> 00:59:31,559 Murdock said the same thing, Venom. I don't know who is the bad 794 00:59:31,599 --> 00:59:37,400 guy in Spider Man am I'm not a big superhero movie guy. I don't 795 00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:42,440 care about any of that. I just don't Sorry, I don't know. 796 00:59:43,239 --> 00:59:45,480 And I uh and I'm sure Greensboro is a lovely place, but I don't 797 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:50,320 know much about it. So uh. Mariam Banish says, uh, I 798 00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:57,039 definitely think he's thinking of Venom. Okay, so it is Venom, so 799 00:59:57,039 --> 01:00:01,760 so why but doesn't this say eon Vmon's I see. I still think that 800 01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:10,639 sounds like a science fiction movie Eon Vmon four. It sounds like a planet 801 01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:16,719 that they would visit. I don't know who they is, astronauts. I 802 01:00:16,719 --> 01:00:21,800 don't know. I don't know what's happening. Melanie says, maybe Spider Man 803 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,480 should mind his own business. Thank you, Melanie. I agree, and 804 01:00:24,639 --> 01:00:29,960 listen, I gotta just tell you this. I think no offense. But 805 01:00:30,239 --> 01:00:35,440 anybody that shoots webbing out of his risks I think is a little weird. 806 01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:37,800 I think that's a little weird. All right, We're gonna play a couple 807 01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,079 of songs for you. It is the top of the hour. I'm gonna 808 01:00:40,119 --> 01:00:45,639 play this great song, Goodbye to When, from the band Becoming Human. 809 01:00:45,039 --> 01:00:49,719 They will be our musical guest tomorrow on the show. In the second hour, 810 01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,639 they're gonna be skyping in from the great state of Texas. Look forward 811 01:00:52,639 --> 01:00:55,079 to that. I love their sound. And then we're also gonna play Angel 812 01:00:55,199 --> 01:00:59,840 from Infinity Vein because I'm more in the shirt today and I love the shirt 813 01:01:00,039 --> 01:01:02,400 and I love the song and I love the band. So we're gonna play 814 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:07,119 those for you, and then we will come back with our number two numerowdose 815 01:01:07,159 --> 01:01:09,639 of Matt Connerton Unleashed. There is plenty more to come.

Absolutely. Our friend 872 01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:13,159 Crystal from Illinois joined us in the chat room. Our friend Will Vegas who's 873 01:06:13,239 --> 01:06:18,920 a friend of wmnah Hero. He says he's been on the He's never been 874 01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:21,239 on the show.

Will says, we say we love that song becoming Hunan. We 877 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,239 say, is that how you say that? Instead of becoming human? Becoming 878 01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:39,519 Union And Nick Murdoch said in the chat there was a restaurant in my hometown 879 01:06:39,519 --> 01:06:44,239 that actually had that as a typo human chicken. It said, a good 880 01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:48,639 restaurant from what I recall, even if they were serving soil and green soiland 881 01:06:48,639 --> 01:06:59,519 green as people if I understand the movie correctly. That's disgusting. What is 882 01:06:59,639 --> 01:07:10,079 the is? Oh? Yeah, Nick is asking a technical question in the 883 01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:16,480 chat room. Nick said, feel free to ignore that question if you want. 884 01:07:16,679 --> 01:07:19,719 I know you're a political show, and that's more of a tech head 885 01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:24,719 Terry question. Yeah. Tech Head Terry actually did call the show once and 886 01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:28,679 began peppering me with a series of technical questions tech. If you don't know 887 01:07:28,719 --> 01:07:31,599 tech head Terry, he loves tech. He just loves talking about tech. 888 01:07:33,719 --> 01:07:38,480 There was one that's from not even a show. There was one segment where 889 01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:43,199 he's asking somebody how do I how can I make money? How could I 890 01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,800 make a career with my love of tech? And this guy's selling him, 891 01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:50,079 well, do you want to work for? Do you want to do get 892 01:07:50,119 --> 01:07:56,920 into tech support? You could work for a helpline helping people with their technical 893 01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,719 problems. And tech head Terry is like, no, I just I just 894 01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,920 want to talk about tech. I just love tech. It's just you have 895 01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:10,199 to see it. It's very dry humor and it's very very funny. Nick 896 01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:12,760 Burdock says, what kind of microphone you work in? With? There? 897 01:08:14,519 --> 01:08:18,680 I think, I you know, I don't even know. I don't even 898 01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:25,000 know what brand this is. Actually it's funny, A very expensive one sounds 899 01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:30,199 good though. Huh uh six three two five six zero seven is the studio 900 01:08:30,319 --> 01:08:35,680 line six two five six seven. Hey, this is weird. Um, 901 01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:44,720 I just uh remember Peter Navarro the trade guy from was his official title, 902 01:08:45,239 --> 01:08:50,560 I don't know, from the Trump administration. He Um, he's very mad. 903 01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:55,800 This is from media dot com. He's very mad at Brian Kilmeade, 904 01:08:57,399 --> 01:09:02,359 very angry, and it has to do with Tucker Carlson. I really don't 905 01:09:02,359 --> 01:09:05,359 want today's show to be all about Tucker, so I've got some other things 906 01:09:05,359 --> 01:09:08,800 to get to. But well, actually it hasn't been all about Tucker. 907 01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:15,159 We talked a lot about Biden and his big announcement today. Again it's a 908 01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:18,039 you know, like we all knew he was running. We didn't all know. 909 01:09:18,079 --> 01:09:20,600 Actually some people thought he might not, but come on, we all 910 01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:26,439 knew anyway. Peter Navarre, this is what this is from media. Peter 911 01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:32,640 Navarro, torpedo's cowardly scumbag, never trumper. Brian Kilmeade for replacing Tucker on 912 01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:40,319 Fox News. This is a dude. I mean, I guess Tucker Carlson 913 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:43,520 was his buddy or something, but come on, it says here x. 914 01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:49,319 Trump administration official Peter Navarro lashed out at Fox News and Brian Killmeade over Tucker's 915 01:09:49,359 --> 01:09:57,319 firing, calling Killmead a quote cowardly scumbag unquote for daring to host the eight 916 01:09:57,399 --> 01:10:04,279 pm time slot Carlson Its occupied. Monday saw a stunning cable news blood bath. 917 01:10:04,319 --> 01:10:06,239 Oh there you go, Melanie, if you're listening, I know you 918 01:10:06,319 --> 01:10:12,359 like that word bloodbath, as Fox News fired top rated host Tucker Carlson without 919 01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,800 warning. Then within minutes, News broke that CNN was firing longtime anchor and 920 01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:21,880 central pillar of their morning program in an equally shocking faction. Carlson's firing jerusal 921 01:10:23,159 --> 01:10:28,800 celebratory victory dances and insults from Carlson's critics, while Maga World cried out with 922 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:36,720 the anguish of incinerated Alderon residence. Kind of reaching with that reference there. 923 01:10:38,239 --> 01:10:44,000 And when eight o'clock rolled around, Fox and Friends host kill Meade was in 924 01:10:44,039 --> 01:10:49,279 the host's chair to give his great friend quote unquote Tucker and eight seconds send 925 01:10:49,319 --> 01:11:00,800 off? Really what did he What did he say? Just R Tucker will 926 01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:04,560 miss you or something? Wow? Eight seconds thirty one seconds fewer than Lemon 927 01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:10,960 got from his colleagues at CNN this morning. That pillin spot did not sit 928 01:11:11,039 --> 01:11:15,600 well with Navarro, who lashed out at kill Mead on Twitter. When Killmead 929 01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:23,560 invited followers to tune in, Navarro responded by writing, quote hard no at 930 01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:29,960 Brian Killmead, you never Trump suck puppet. Your midget feet won't fit at 931 01:11:30,119 --> 01:11:38,039 Tucker Carlson big shoes in this lifetime cut the at Fox News chord now unquote. 932 01:11:41,159 --> 01:11:45,279 I wonder, like, does he have something personal against Brian Kilmead or 933 01:11:45,279 --> 01:11:48,159 would he be saying this about anybody who was sitting in in that time slot. 934 01:11:49,199 --> 01:11:57,039 I mean, what does Peter Navarro expect Fox News to do? Never 935 01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:00,680 have anyone hosts in that time slot ever, agen and just have it be 936 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:05,880 reruns of Tucker Carlson's show out of respect for Tucker, Like, what is 937 01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:12,159 he expecting? I don't understand his anger. It seems a bit misplaced. 938 01:12:14,039 --> 01:12:17,039 I mean, I've seen a lot of I've seen, you know, on 939 01:12:17,079 --> 01:12:23,439 social media and every I've seen a lot of wild reactions to Tucker Carlson's firing, 940 01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:31,159 but this one is probably the most unhinged I've seen, you know. 941 01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,680 I mean, I'm no great fan of Brian kill me, but come on, 942 01:12:36,039 --> 01:12:40,680 somebody's got to sit there at eight o'clock and for kill me, and 943 01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,199 hey, you know, good for him, this is this is a big 944 01:12:43,239 --> 01:12:46,399 break. You know, Maybe he'll because because I have no idea what Fox's 945 01:12:46,399 --> 01:12:49,680 plan is, but I would not be surprised, just because this is how 946 01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:54,199 it often goes in cable news. I would not be surprised if You'll see 947 01:12:55,720 --> 01:13:00,600 a number of different people sitting in over the course of the days, weeks, 948 01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:05,319 potentially months, sitting in in that spot hosting that hour, and they'll 949 01:13:05,399 --> 01:13:09,960 kind of watch the ratings and see who clicks and who doesn't, and who 950 01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:14,479 seems like the best fit and who seems like they might be best suited for 951 01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:16,439 you know, because that's you know, that's a prime slot, that's prime 952 01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:19,479 time, right, you know, they'll they'll go through that. This is 953 01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:24,279 what I assume again, just because this is what usually happens, and they'll 954 01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:30,199 they'll make a decision eventually on who will be the permanent person. So kill 955 01:13:30,279 --> 01:13:34,039 Mead is probably you know, I'm sure he loves Sucker. I'm sure he's 956 01:13:34,159 --> 01:13:39,159 very sad, but at the same time, opportunity knocks, He's got to 957 01:13:39,199 --> 01:13:43,760 answer the door. I don't understand why Navarro is so irrationally angry at Brian 958 01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:48,840 Kilmead. It says here again, this is from media. He then quote 959 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:55,960 tweeted himself and added quote btw by the way, this is why at Brian 960 01:13:56,039 --> 01:14:00,760 Kilmeade is such a cowardly scumbag. An honorable man would have declined to sit 961 01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:04,760 in for at Tucker Carlson the very first night of the firing. But no, 962 01:14:05,319 --> 01:14:12,920 the biggest never trumper at Fox News this side of Carl Rove went for 963 01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:20,399 the carcass unquote what so, no one is supposed to sit there at eight 964 01:14:20,399 --> 01:14:28,239 o'clock and anyone who does is dishonorable. And I would hardly call Brian kill 965 01:14:28,239 --> 01:14:32,439 me At a never trumper. You know, I don't think that term means 966 01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:40,359 what you think it means there, mister Navarro. Navarro also lashed out at 967 01:14:40,399 --> 01:14:45,880 Fox News on Monday night's edition of Newsmax TVs The Balance with host Eric Boling. 968 01:14:47,079 --> 01:14:50,960 Eric Bolling, isn't he another guy who got who got pushed out of 969 01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:58,720 Fox because he was accused of something I'd forgotten about him? I mean, 970 01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:02,960 there's been many who been pushed out I'm not suggesting that in Tuckers. We 971 01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:08,039 still don't know the reason for Tucker, but it might be. It's probably 972 01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:13,239 it sounds like because of Abby Grossberg, not because of sexual harassment, but 973 01:15:13,319 --> 01:15:15,439 because of anti Semitic comments. It might have been made, but we don't 974 01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:19,680 know that yet for sure. But that's probably what it's looking at. But 975 01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:24,039 I think Eric Bowling didn't he sexually? Did he sexually? Are asked somebody 976 01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:29,000 or you know, like, that's why Bill O'Reilly got pushed out, right, 977 01:15:29,079 --> 01:15:32,199 That's why Roger Ailes he was running the place, he got pushed out. 978 01:15:32,239 --> 01:15:38,760 That's why. Oh there's been others. Seems to be a but I 979 01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:43,640 forgot about Eric Bowling anyway. So this is the exchange they had over on 980 01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:47,840 Newsmax. Peter Navarro said, well, I just want to salute the king 981 01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:51,600 of eight pm television now that the only thing worth watching on Fox News is 982 01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:57,439 gone that network. Fox has cut the chord, that that is a network 983 01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:02,800 that's a never Trump nest of incompetent puppet heads. Eric Bowling the king of 984 01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:08,840 the eight o'clock hour. Now on cable TV, watch Bowling, and then 985 01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:14,119 Eric Bowling responded, will stay conservative. We're not going to move to the 986 01:16:14,199 --> 01:16:17,800 center left like Fox is doing. Peter and Navarro. Always good to have 987 01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:20,359 you on. Thank you, my friend, Bye bye, thank you, 988 01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:29,680 thank you. Yes, Fox News they've gone center left, apparently as evidenced 989 01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:35,039 by their firing of Tucker Carlson. Oh. Nick Murdock says you were one 990 01:16:35,399 --> 01:16:41,960 percent right about Eric Bowling and shared a link This is from the La Times. 991 01:16:42,079 --> 01:16:44,439 Yeah, I couldn't remember the It's hard to keep up with these guys. 992 01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:47,079 Yeah, it says uh here yeah x. Fox News co host House 993 01:16:47,079 --> 01:16:54,039 died over scandal, joins Newsmax. This was back in June of twenty twenty 994 01:16:54,039 --> 01:17:02,960 one, so a little under two years ago, says here. Bowling was 995 01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:08,239 cut loose from Fox in September twenty seventeen. Oh okay, was that long 996 01:17:08,279 --> 01:17:13,119 ago? He was originally on the five I think, following an investigation into 997 01:17:13,159 --> 01:17:16,880 a huff Post report that he used his cell phone to send unsolicited pictures of 998 01:17:17,039 --> 01:17:23,319 his man parts. Shall we say that's some cleaning it up for radio. 999 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:30,039 To current and former female colleagues at the network, what a guy? Jeez? 1000 01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:39,880 The you know what's interested to be about some of these guys, you 1001 01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:47,319 know, when they're chosen mode of sexual harassment is sending unsolicited pictures of body 1002 01:17:47,359 --> 01:17:55,479 parts is the I mean, the lack of judgment is beyond stunning, but 1003 01:17:55,640 --> 01:18:00,439 also just the lack of impulse control, because even if you have a very, 1004 01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:04,680 very poor judgment, there has to be there has to be. It 1005 01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:11,159 might only be a teeny tiny whisper, but there has to be a voice 1006 01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:15,760 somewhere, way way back, all the way in the back of your mind, 1007 01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:17,920 perhaps just so you can barely hear it, but it's got to be 1008 01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:26,399 there, that voice that says, this might be a bad idea sending these 1009 01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:33,079 pictures unsolicited to current and former female colleagues. There has to be that voice. 1010 01:18:34,399 --> 01:18:38,000 But I guess if it is just a tiny whisper, you just ignore 1011 01:18:38,039 --> 01:18:42,720 it and you light your own career on fire. I mean, I'm just 1012 01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:46,000 that's always fascinating to me, but just in a broader sense. I'm always 1013 01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,840 fascinated by that too. John Hopplin and I have talked about this on the 1014 01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:53,760 show. When you see someone with a career in news or there's some other 1015 01:18:53,800 --> 01:19:00,880 type of celebrity and they just they just exhibit the worst possible judgment, And 1016 01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:04,359 it's like I've always been fascinated by the psychology of that. What is it 1017 01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:09,640 to drive someone to do that? Like somebody who's on top of the world. 1018 01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:13,000 They've got everything going for them, They've they're having a great career, 1019 01:19:13,039 --> 01:19:15,840 they've got all this success, and then it's like one day they just look 1020 01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:19,039 down at their desk and they say, you know, there's a big red 1021 01:19:19,039 --> 01:19:23,840 button on this desk that says self destruct on it. Maybe I'll push it 1022 01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:26,880 and see what happens. What the hell? And then they just blow themselves 1023 01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:30,560 up. I mean, it's just bizarre. But I think our friend Charles 1024 01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:33,800 Richardson from the Great State of Florida is on the line. Hello sir, 1025 01:19:35,079 --> 01:19:41,880 Hello, good afternoon. Hey, who's hey? Charles? Just let me 1026 01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:45,479 ask you quickly before you discuss whatever. I'm just curious. Do we have 1027 01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:53,000 a winner yet in the Desantists versus Disney deathmatch from Florida? No, that 1028 01:19:53,159 --> 01:19:57,680 death match is still going on right now, still going on with Mickey having 1029 01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:01,560 the full white glove power. Has anyone taken a steel chair to the head 1030 01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:06,039 as of yet? No, not yet, there's but no interference has been 1031 01:20:06,119 --> 01:20:11,880 been a pretty boring match. Gotcha? Gotcha? I heard that. I 1032 01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:17,039 heard I heard the crowd chanting, we want tables right, Well, I 1033 01:20:17,079 --> 01:20:19,680 would, I want, I want to, I want to press on this 1034 01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:28,720 issue with the unsolicited body parts. Uh of you see, the thing is 1035 01:20:29,359 --> 01:20:34,880 it's also very gender related, like all the pressure and all the all the 1036 01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:41,239 the the bad stuff happens to the guys when they send it. You never 1037 01:20:41,359 --> 01:20:48,600 hear about the females sending their unsolicited body parts over uh the pictures of them. 1038 01:20:49,159 --> 01:20:53,359 I don't know why that is. I don't get it. It's just 1039 01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:59,359 I think I think it's just pointed directly at males. Uh and me personally. 1040 01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:03,239 No, but he's ever asked to solicit my my body parts, so 1041 01:21:03,399 --> 01:21:06,720 it's always going to be unsolicited, So I don't understand, you know, 1042 01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:10,880 what's the harm in that? But uh, yes, I am. I 1043 01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:17,199 am very very very focused on that little itty bitty noise that my my brainmates 1044 01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:21,399 to say, this is a bad idea. But I do, like I 1045 01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:25,840 do with anytime my wife tells me to take up a trash, I ignore 1046 01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:30,760 it. Oh but doesn't a little tiny voice in the back of your head 1047 01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,279 say, ignoring your wife when she asked you to take out the trash is 1048 01:21:33,319 --> 01:21:38,479 a bad idea? Yeah? Yes, same thing. Yeah, because I 1049 01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:43,359 would assume there would be consequences for that as well. Not really, but 1050 01:21:44,119 --> 01:21:48,000 I don't know that until later. Ah okay, I get the pictures. 1051 01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:53,920 Yeah, But the bottom line is I think people need to go ahead and 1052 01:21:54,079 --> 01:22:04,119 stop accusing the male gender of exposing themselves when the female gender doesn't get any 1053 01:22:04,119 --> 01:22:10,960 type of reaction like this. I feel it is definitely one sided and I 1054 01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:15,119 could be wrong, but that's my honest opinion on that. So, um, 1055 01:22:15,159 --> 01:22:19,479 I think they need to you know, what, male body parts lives 1056 01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:28,640 matter? Okay, wow, wow, right, I don't know, all 1057 01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:32,319 right, Charles, thank you for the car by. Yeah, I don't 1058 01:22:32,319 --> 01:22:38,720 think uh, I honestly couldn't tell if he was kidding or not. Um 1059 01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:42,800 I I don't think women tend to do that, at least not to their 1060 01:22:43,119 --> 01:22:49,359 colleagues. Um. Yeah. Well, and you know Nick points out too 1061 01:22:49,399 --> 01:22:53,960 in the chat it's probably one sided because there's only men in power who do 1062 01:22:54,000 --> 01:23:00,199 it. Yeah, exactly, um male, And he made an observation in 1063 01:23:00,239 --> 01:23:04,880 the chat that uh, I can't read on the air, but that's uh, 1064 01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:10,840 that's you. You're probably right when you say that. Yeah, I 1065 01:23:11,119 --> 01:23:15,800 mean, yeah, you know, yeah, but uh yeah, I just 1066 01:23:15,159 --> 01:23:20,039 like I said, the the the poor judgment and lack of impulse control is 1067 01:23:20,119 --> 01:23:24,920 just uh stunning. Charles says in the chat room, I was getting he 1068 01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:27,560 lol. Okay, just making sure Charles, you know, because uh, 1069 01:23:28,079 --> 01:23:30,640 you know, Florida is a little different kind of place, if you know 1070 01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:34,079 what I mean, don't you know? But uh yeah, Charles was you 1071 01:23:34,119 --> 01:23:36,800 know the the show that I was talking about earlier that my Dad's gonna be 1072 01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:42,359 on tonight with Billy Painter and John Grosvenor. Charles was on there, I 1073 01:23:42,359 --> 01:23:45,079 think it was last week or the week before, and they were talking about 1074 01:23:45,119 --> 01:23:54,000 the whole uh Disney de Santis. It's it's just it's absolutely bizarre. I 1075 01:23:54,279 --> 01:24:00,680 I don't know what constituency de Santis is going to win when he does begin 1076 01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:04,880 to win over when he does declare himself a presidential candidate. But there's a 1077 01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:11,760 lot of people, I think, uh irrespective of political ideology, there's a 1078 01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:17,239 lot of people in this country who really love Disney, and uh uh and 1079 01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:23,439 Charles and his family they love Disney, and I just, um, it's 1080 01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:30,279 it's bizarre too to watch. Nick says, I've only sent unsolicited picks to 1081 01:24:30,399 --> 01:24:36,680 Rocky huber h Scott Robinson says Matt's sexual harassment goes both ways. Just look 1082 01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:41,800 at the documentary Horrible Bosses. Oh yeah, no doubt, no doubt. 1083 01:24:42,319 --> 01:24:46,920 Um it does. Uh, but I think it tends to go much more 1084 01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:56,039 one way than the other because uh uh you know men, and there's there's 1085 01:24:56,119 --> 01:25:00,199 something I don't want to get into it, into all of it now this 1086 01:25:00,279 --> 01:25:03,399 late in the show. But the psychology of it, I think un. 1087 01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:08,560 I think men are I'll just say this, I think men are far less. 1088 01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:14,199 Men have far less self discipline and impulse control as uh some do, 1089 01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:19,399 as evidenced by by people like Eric Bowling for example, than women do. 1090 01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:25,079 Um, of course women can you know, it's certainly is possible for a 1091 01:25:25,079 --> 01:25:29,359 woman to sexually harass a man, uh if a woman is in a position 1092 01:25:29,399 --> 01:25:31,520 of power, for example, and and she has a male underling. But 1093 01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:35,359 I just don't know if it happens. I don't. I don't think it 1094 01:25:35,399 --> 01:25:46,720 probably happens that often, uh comparatively. Um. Yeah, well, if 1095 01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:49,720 you'd like to get them with a call six three two five six zero seven 1096 01:25:50,079 --> 01:25:59,720 six three two five six seven Um, I think though, because because it 1097 01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:03,319 can him up. Oh hello to Margie Prime. That's a new name in 1098 01:26:03,359 --> 01:26:08,880 the Facebook life chat. Allow there, let's look at this quickly. So 1099 01:26:09,039 --> 01:26:15,239 The Hill dot com has a story up about this um and like I said, 1100 01:26:15,319 --> 01:26:17,439 you know, I think a lot of people love Disney regardless of ideology. 1101 01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:26,000 This. The Hill has this article De Santists versus Disney feud divides GOP 1102 01:26:26,399 --> 01:26:30,720 over attacks on quote woke companies. So it says, here, let's look 1103 01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:33,279 at this because, like I said, I just don't think there's an upside 1104 01:26:33,279 --> 01:26:35,800 to what De Santist is doing here. And by the way, it also 1105 01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:41,079 looks very asked Chris Christie pointed out Chris Christi, who's rumored to be potentially 1106 01:26:41,199 --> 01:26:44,560 running for president. It's not very you know, Republicans are supposed to be 1107 01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:48,720 pro business, right, so why is De Santists just because And this whole 1108 01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:53,560 thing started over the don't say gay bill. I know some people object to 1109 01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:57,680 calling at that, but we speak of these bills in shorthand regardless. So 1110 01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:01,119 you know that's what it came to be called loqually so to speak that don't 1111 01:27:01,159 --> 01:27:05,319 say gay bill. Disney spoke up, spoke up against it, and so 1112 01:27:05,399 --> 01:27:10,000 to Santa said, oh they're woke, and I must now attack them at 1113 01:27:10,039 --> 01:27:13,920 every opportunity and try to run them into the ground. And it's like Disney 1114 01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:17,960 is an enormously popular company and you know, God knows how many people go 1115 01:27:18,039 --> 01:27:24,159 there every year to go to Disney in Florida and Republicans, Democrats and what 1116 01:27:24,359 --> 01:27:28,560 have you. Right, So this is a big risk and it seems just 1117 01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:32,479 inherently anti business. What does Santa's is doing? And Chris Christi pointed out, 1118 01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:35,520 you know, he's not a he's not a really a conservative. I 1119 01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:40,640 mean, obviously he's a conservative with all this culture war stuff, but but 1120 01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:45,560 he's not a pro business conservative if he's using the power of his office and 1121 01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:55,399 the power of government to constantly attack a company like this. Melanie, I 1122 01:27:55,399 --> 01:27:58,880 can't read that comment on the air either, but I do, I do, 1123 01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:05,560 I do agree with you absolutely. Mike from Queen City Cabinetry joins us 1124 01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:11,359 in the Facebook live chat. Hello Mike, Queen City Cabinetry and the Historic 1125 01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:15,199 Sunbeam. Mall one of our great sponsors here at WMH ninety five point three, 1126 01:28:15,199 --> 01:28:18,279 and Mike is one of our co hosts on Retrospectrum Radio with Policy on 1127 01:28:18,319 --> 01:28:25,239 Friday nights. So it says here Republican attacks on quote woke American corporations are 1128 01:28:25,279 --> 01:28:30,640 exposing deep divides within the GOP, with some Republicans worried the party is strained 1129 01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:36,000 from its roots by going after the internal politics of big businesses. Right, 1130 01:28:36,079 --> 01:28:42,359 see, there's a conflict there ideologically. And I've cited too on the show. 1131 01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:46,279 Recently there was that Marist poll that showed that fifty five percent of Republicans 1132 01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:55,199 surveyed don't agree with all this anti LGBTQ plus legislation, you know, all 1133 01:28:55,199 --> 01:28:58,680 the anti trans stuff. They think it's it's the wrong path to be going 1134 01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:01,880 down. Yeah, it makes I mean, obviously there's probably millions of moderate 1135 01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:10,239 suburban Republicans who are much more concerned with the price of groceries than they are, 1136 01:29:10,279 --> 01:29:14,640 you know, obsessing over trans people, right, just practically speaking. 1137 01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:17,159 But so, but this is causing a bit of a divide, So it 1138 01:29:17,199 --> 01:29:23,760 says here the Republican at the center of the fight is Florida Governor Ronda Santis, 1139 01:29:24,159 --> 01:29:29,159 who has tested the limits of the party's appetite for government crackdowns on private 1140 01:29:29,199 --> 01:29:34,399 industry with his war on Disney and Disney World. Prominent Republicans are denouncing to 1141 01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:41,960 Santis's efforts to punish Disney for speaking out against what critics dubbed Florida's Don't Say 1142 01:29:42,039 --> 01:29:47,560 Gay law. Separately, a push by conservatives to boycott bud Light over its 1143 01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:55,560 marketing partnership with a transgender influencer has also sparked internal debates. Nick Murdock says 1144 01:29:55,560 --> 01:29:59,399 in the chat, Conservatives have never been for small government. They just want 1145 01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:04,359 a government to be fascistic. Well, there's there's uh, I think there's 1146 01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:08,840 that element, but there are different kinds of you know it, just there's 1147 01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:15,319 different kinds of conservatives. I think there are conservatives who are genuinely small government, 1148 01:30:15,399 --> 01:30:18,159 but I also think that um. In other words, I guess what 1149 01:30:18,159 --> 01:30:21,479 I'm saying is, I wouldn't paint conservatives with that broda brush. I don't 1150 01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:29,359 think. I don't think conservatives they all don't. They don't all embrace fascism, 1151 01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:33,000 certainly, but some do. Some clearly do absolutely. I mean DeSantis 1152 01:30:33,119 --> 01:30:40,439 is certainly coming across that way here, let's see it says here. This 1153 01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:44,359 debate looms large over the twenty twenty four race. De Santis is drawing heat 1154 01:30:44,399 --> 01:30:48,920 from his potential twenty twenty four presidential opponents for escalating his months long feud with 1155 01:30:49,079 --> 01:30:56,000 Disney, one of Florida's largest employers and taxpayers. Former President Trump, who 1156 01:30:56,039 --> 01:30:59,600 is leading to Santis in the polls, said last week that De Santis is 1157 01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:04,399 quote being absolutely destroyed by Disney. Disney's next move will be the announcement that 1158 01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:10,720 no more money will be invested in Florida because of the governor, unquote, 1159 01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:15,600 Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, later speculating that Disney might 1160 01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,039 leave the state entirely. By the way, and again, it's not often 1161 01:31:18,079 --> 01:31:27,199 that I'll I'll agree with Trump, but he's right there. Disney has out 1162 01:31:27,279 --> 01:31:31,079 maneuvered De Santis thus far. And you know when he says Disney's next move 1163 01:31:31,079 --> 01:31:34,359 will be the announcement that no more money will be invested in Florida because of 1164 01:31:34,359 --> 01:31:40,600 the governor, well, I mean nobody at Disney is going to say that 1165 01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:45,640 overtly but implicitly. I don't think Disney is actually going to leave Florida. 1166 01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:48,800 That's uh. You know, it's not like is a disney World or Disneyland. 1167 01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:53,159 It's a Disney World, right, I get them mixed up. I 1168 01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:56,760 can't keep track. You know. It's not like they can just pack up 1169 01:31:56,760 --> 01:32:00,199 and leaves. It's not that easy. It would be a pretty tum into 1170 01:32:00,439 --> 01:32:02,560 operation. And it's not like the Santas is going to be governor forever. 1171 01:32:03,079 --> 01:32:12,000 But um, but we'll see. Oh Charles is calling back high Charles. 1172 01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:15,199 Oh yeah, yeah yeah, you you know, starting to go in depth 1173 01:32:15,239 --> 01:32:17,039 about Disney again. So it's like I had to call back. Yes, 1174 01:32:17,199 --> 01:32:21,520 by the way, I was joking. Listen, I've i've I've fondly enjoy 1175 01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:27,319 unsolicited oh female pictures. So sure, sure, that's why I was joking. 1176 01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:31,760 Okay, good, I just know, I just this Disney World. 1177 01:32:31,880 --> 01:32:35,600 And secondly, they have way too much invested in there to ever leave it 1178 01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:41,680 would actually cost them billions in revenue. And to even to go ahead and 1179 01:32:42,039 --> 01:32:45,119 do another park in somewhere else just to replace it is there's no way. 1180 01:32:45,199 --> 01:32:48,680 Oh yeah, that's too much invested. Yeah, no doubt. Um. 1181 01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:53,880 One of the things that the Santas after Disney went ahead and pulled the rug 1182 01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:57,079 underneath him, he went ahead and said, you know what, We're gonna 1183 01:32:57,079 --> 01:33:01,560 go ahead, and apparently he lobbied a bill or something or resolution to where 1184 01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:13,600 his cronies apparently can vote um to basically turn overturned the judgment of the Disney 1185 01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:16,800 owning the rights to the land, which and then it's gonna turn to to 1186 01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:19,880 a court battle. But he also stated on there that he's going to use 1187 01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:28,560 the outland land for Disney to either build a park, a park that to 1188 01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:34,079 compete against Disney, or put a prison. I got the impression though, 1189 01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:40,520 Uh, and you're you're there, so you tell me what the impression is 1190 01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:44,560 there. But I saw the clip of him saying that, like musing about 1191 01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:47,119 building a prison next to Disney. I got the impression he was kidding. 1192 01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:51,239 But do you think he was serious? No, I think he's serious. 1193 01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:57,119 I think he's the crazy goon that the crazy goon that he is with him 1194 01:33:57,159 --> 01:34:00,279 doing everything like this. Oh yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't put it 1195 01:34:00,279 --> 01:34:05,920 past them. Wow. And and it's it's right that everybody that's that's that's 1196 01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:11,000 gone ahead against him on this whole Disney thing, is right. How do 1197 01:34:11,039 --> 01:34:15,359 you go ahead and punish your largest employer, your largest revenue maker, and 1198 01:34:15,880 --> 01:34:20,800 this whole tax thing. This is the largest taxpayer in Florida? Yep, 1199 01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:26,239 yep. So how are you gonna go ahead and punish them? Oh? 1200 01:34:26,279 --> 01:34:29,840 Well, they're they're they're not the Kingdom anymore or they're you know, they're 1201 01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:33,960 not their government. They're paying you a buttload of money every every year, 1202 01:34:34,159 --> 01:34:39,520 you kidding me? Yeah, So I don't know where he's getting his facts. 1203 01:34:39,600 --> 01:34:44,439 I think he's just really you know, hurt uh that you know, 1204 01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:46,439 somebody actually called him out and says, well, we don't support this, 1205 01:34:47,039 --> 01:34:49,359 and it's like, oh really, Well, it's like, you know, 1206 01:34:49,439 --> 01:34:53,399 you just picked up my girlfriend and I'm just gonna go ahead and I'll show 1207 01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:59,119 you, right, Yeah, I mean, and it's very Is that Is 1208 01:34:59,159 --> 01:35:00,239 that the type of image you want in the White House? I mean, 1209 01:35:00,279 --> 01:35:04,399 I think we kind of already saw something like that over there with Trump a 1210 01:35:04,479 --> 01:35:08,159 little bit, but this is like ten times worse. Now. It's like 1211 01:35:08,239 --> 01:35:12,800 it doesn't matter how big you are, how how how much influence you have, 1212 01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:16,000 you're gonna get at taft regardless. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's a 1213 01:35:16,119 --> 01:35:20,600 level of pettiness that is beyond what we're used to seeing even in politics. 1214 01:35:23,159 --> 01:35:26,359 And also met too. I know you're you know, you're you're more way 1215 01:35:26,439 --> 01:35:30,680 more political than I ever am. Don't you think all this going on, 1216 01:35:30,079 --> 01:35:36,560 don't you think maybe it's a sign of the First Amendment being used against Disney 1217 01:35:36,720 --> 01:35:42,079 like they can't use their First Amendment right to stand how they want to stand. 1218 01:35:42,199 --> 01:35:45,479 Oh, absolutely, Charles, Absolutely, And that's a great insight. 1219 01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:47,199 Yeah, I mean, you know, they they they took a position. 1220 01:35:47,279 --> 01:35:51,399 It's all like they attacked de Santis personally or something like he's stating it. 1221 01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:55,199 But they just they took a position that they didn't agree with the bill. 1222 01:35:55,239 --> 01:35:59,319 That's all. And uh and that that's all it took. That's all it 1223 01:35:59,359 --> 01:36:02,840 took to set this off. Just incredible. But and believe me, like 1224 01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:06,359 I, like I mentioned on Billie Show, I'm not a fan of everything 1225 01:36:06,399 --> 01:36:11,000 Disney's done. Like they went ahead, they've taken it too far to the 1226 01:36:11,039 --> 01:36:15,319 point where it's no longer princess or prince. Now it's like guests, they're 1227 01:36:15,359 --> 01:36:19,640 not using the gender identities anymore. So now it's like they're they're all going 1228 01:36:20,279 --> 01:36:25,680 everybody's basic. So like everything you see is it's no longer hi, your 1229 01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:29,560 your majesty. It's like you know, the little cute phrases they use for 1230 01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:34,640 kids, it's no longer than anymore. So it's it's really they they've really 1231 01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:39,319 have become a little bit on the on the I guess the woke side, 1232 01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:42,800 but also to the point of listen. That's their choice. Yeah, and 1233 01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:45,399 am I happy with that? No, I'm not very happy with it, 1234 01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:48,159 but that's the stance they have. I'm still going to pay them the thousands 1235 01:36:48,159 --> 01:36:53,800 I pay them for an annual pass and go there and enjoy myself, right 1236 01:36:54,359 --> 01:37:00,039 yeah, um yeah, no, I'm well said, you know. Yeah, 1237 01:37:00,079 --> 01:37:02,359 but like you, like you pointed out, I mean, they're you 1238 01:37:02,359 --> 01:37:06,920 know, Florida's tax base depends on on Disney, and it's just crazy that 1239 01:37:08,079 --> 01:37:12,439 their whole revenue stream depends on on on Central Florida overwall and that's not just 1240 01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:16,199 Disney, that's Universal, Sea World, Bush Gardens, everything like that. 1241 01:37:16,720 --> 01:37:19,680 I'm just you know, I'm just gonna say one thing. When you're a 1242 01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:24,840 governor, you got married at the Grand Floridian Hotel in Disney and you're over 1243 01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:30,000 here attacking them. That shows really really bad presidents right there. And honest 1244 01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:34,720 to god, this is his last term. I will celebrate the day with 1245 01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:40,920 lots of drinks. He's gone, well, very good, you won't. 1246 01:37:41,239 --> 01:37:44,880 You won't be alone in that, I'm sure. Yeah, all right, 1247 01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:46,640 Charles. Anyway, I thought I had to chime in with those five cents. 1248 01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:48,319 Now, I'm glad you did. Thank you for the call, my 1249 01:37:48,359 --> 01:37:51,680 friend.

They're 1264 01:39:00,399 --> 01:39:03,039 right, They're absolutely right. Shannon is on the line. Hi, Shannon, 1265 01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:11,600 Hello, Hello, Um and Joy in the chat room there.

I think I was in the middle of eating 1273 01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:56,079 and drinking and I almost spit it out. Whenever heard that sounded funny. 1274 01:39:56,479 --> 01:40:00,880 Yes, well, it's no laughing matter, Shannon, Peter Navarre.

If you're 1300 01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:57,439 in the Nashua area, you can listen on I think it's wus Man if 1301 01:41:57,439 --> 01:42:00,840 I have the call letters correctly, but probably the easiest thing to do go 1302 01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:03,760 on YouTube, go to Billy Painter's YouTube page and the show will be streaming 1303 01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:09,399 there beginning at seven pm Eastern. And so apparently they're gonna have my dad 1304 01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:12,079 on via phone. I assume. I don't think he's set up for skyper 1305 01:42:12,199 --> 01:42:15,119 zoom, so he'll probably be calling in. But that will be happening tonight 1306 01:42:15,159 --> 01:42:20,840 at seven pm. Um, oh, Brooklyn, all right, we always 1307 01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:25,680 have time for Brooklyn.
