Broughtie courtesy and why liberals be worn? Your viewpoints will be subjected to straight

been blown wide, we have come together here because the American people deserve better
from those to whom they entrust, our nation's highest officers. We stand united
and are resolved to do something about it, which, whether we like it
or not, spelled you. You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.
You tuned into right Side Radio, all right? You have found that it
is the right Side Radio program being recorded on Wednesday, June the nineteenth,
twenty twenty four. I'm your host, Jack Fairchild's and tonight's show is going
to be a little different. The majority of the show was actually recorded yesterday.
If you're familiar with the other show that I'm doing on the midnight Ride
Network, you're familiar with Chris McDaniel's America, Well yesterday for circumstances that couldn't
be controlled and know nothing that we could work around. Chris was unable to
be a part of the show yesterday, so I had to fill in as
the main host. It was a lot of fun. Jim Sigelski filled my
role, complete with the rhino mask no less. So I think we put
together a pretty good episode. But the truth be told, you know,
normally when I do Chris McDaniels America, I'm the reactor. Chris is putting
together the show. He's crafting the show. I don't have to do much
more than to show up and react. Now do I have my own stories
So that way, if he goes to a story, I can pull it
up and know exactly what Yes, absolutely that's happening. But at the same
time, I don't know what we're going to talk about until Chris starts talking
about it. In most instances, and because I ended up having to do
the show, I had to craft my own show yesterday since I was sitting
in his seat. The creative juices for tonight are a little lacking. So
I have made the conscious decision to go ahead and play the audio version of
yesterday's Chris McDaniel's America as this week's episode of the Right Side. So we're
going to go to that audio and you guys can enjoy. I think Jim
and I did a bang up job. Neither one of us will ever be
Chris, and we both recognize that he is one of a kind when it
comes to this show. I mean, he's very impressive. If you've not
watched Chris McDaniels America yet, you really need to. But I do think
that we both filled in for him admirably yesterday, and I was pleased with
the results and pleased enough that this can be the Right Side show this week
as well, because trust me, again, the creative juices, they're kind
of seeped away at the moment. So I'm going to utilize the show I'll
put together yesterday for this week's Right Side as well. And before we switch
over to the audio from yesterday, don't forget like us on whichever podcatcher you
like. Give us a five star review on all the podcaschers there are out
there. We're on iTunes, iHeartRadio, Spotify, Spreaker, Amazon Music,
and so many more. So make it a point to give us a five
star review. Make it a point to like and subscribe to us there.
This is how you will never miss any content. The reviews really help us
get over the hump. With that said, let me throw this to the
start of yesterday's Chris McDaniel's America. All right, everyone, welcome to another
episode of Chris McDaniel's America. Of course, am not Chris McDaniel. I
am Jack Fairchild stilling in for Chris today. Who is elsewhere? I think
that'll be the best way we'll describe today. But I do have a co
host with me today, and my good friend and one of the owners of
the Midnight Ride, Jim Sigelski, is joining me today for this program.
Jim, thanks for doing this with me. Jack, thank you, Thank
you for filling in for Chris. And I'm not sure which one of us
has a more difficult job. I'm pretty sure it's you. You're feeling in
for Chris. I'm feeling in for you so that you've got a very easy
yeah, my long view, I may or may not ask you to put
on the Rhino masks. It'll be a game day decision, so I can't.
It would be payback if you did. You did purchase that, that
is true. Well, you know, I wanted to come on today and
I wanted to talk about how we see the left as started to twist everything
and how they're starting to influence different medias. Now. Of course, they've
always been entrenched in Hollywood. We know that they've always come up with different
ways to make films deliver the message that they want them to. Well,
what we've seen in the last couple of years is we've seen a shift.
Instead of them just creating new, woke content that nobody's going to watch,
what they've started doing is they're taking established brands and they're trying to come out
with this diversity initiative. And don't get me wrong, I have no problem
with the diverse cast as long as it's serving the story or it's not just
diversity for the sake of a diversity, because force diversity is easy to tell.
We have seen them go down this path countless times now, and it's
very frustrating because as you watch this, as you see what they're doing,
you're seeing beloved franchises get completely destroyed. And you can look no further than
to the Disney Company and what they've done to two of the biggest box office
bonanzas throughout the years, throughout the history of cinema. When you look at
what they've done to Star Wars and what they've done to the Marvel series.
As you know, Marvel was a cash cow for Disney. They pretty much
were printing money every time they play out a new Marvel movie. Whether it
was an Avengers film, whether it was Captain America, it didn't matter.
It was a guaranteed hit. And they knew it. Well, you go
to the last couple of movies and they've started to take they've started to take
down. Matter of fact, the last one the Marvels was a bona fide
flop. It just to me. You're seeing what they're doing here, and
you you have to understand this is by design to try to force feed their
agenda upon folks, and they understand these established brands give them a built in
audience, or they thought it did, but people are rebelling against it.
You know, Jim, how familiar are you with Joseph Campbell's A Hero's Journey?
Have you? Have you ever looked in to the explanation, Because Joseph
Campbell has written about the characteristics of a hero. He's written about how you
put a hero in works of literature and works of fiction, how you put
them down the path of a hero's journey? Have you ever paid attention to
that? I have not, Jack and throw me a brain on the spot
there, did, Well, welcome to my seat. Well, of course,
if you go and look at Joseph Campbell's work, he talks about the
characteristics of a hero, and he says the hero is usually male, and
according to Campbell, women typically represent creation and ultimate wisdom and therefore do not
need to make the journey. So from Joseph Campbell's teaching, he was saying
that the reason why most of your hero protagonists were males because the females had
already reached a certain level of enlightenment to where they didn't need to take that
journey. He also said that the hero is often times is of lowly birth,
but may secretly have a special power or higher birth right that the hero
is not aware of at the time. The hero's parents are often dead,
absent, we're uncaring. So again, as I started to go through this,
you're starting to see familiar characteristics that you've seen in several of these movies
and films that take you on this hero's journey. And he talks about the
call to adventure, you know where the hero may receive his call to adventure,
and of course the next step after he receives the call, the stages
of the it, he goes on his departure where he takes the call.
But then at some point near the story, he's going to try to refuse
the call of adventure. He's going to try to refuse the call of the
journy. This is something that Joseph Campbell has laid out. He talks about
how a lot of these stories come up with a supernatural aid of some kind.
He goes further on to crossing the first threshold that will ultimately get the
hero to where needs to be. You see these things, and these are
techniques and practices that have weren't throughout history. When it comes to writing a
story of a hero, it doesn't need to be reinvented. It doesn't need
to be changed. And I think that that's one of the things that is
why folks are rebelling against this Wolk ideology, this diversity for the sake of
adversity. Is the formula was already working, and when you start to change
it, you take a character that has always been a male character and you
turn it into a female character. For example, just for the sake of
it being a female. It doesn't serve the story in any way, shape
or form. Is just being done for the sake of diversity. Don't you
think, Jack, that movie studios right now are making movies for their employees
and not their audience. That's an It's these woke kids who just got out
of college. They've been indoctrinated, and they're raising a fuss. And so
the executives at these movie companies are willing to take a loss to please their
employees and really don't care that much about the audience anymore. And it's prooven
over and over again because they continue to make the same mistakes over and over
again. Oh absolutely, you know. And I think if they could just
go back to the teachings of Campbell here, you know, because again,
all he did was take works of literature that have already been written, and
he broke down the elements. And when you start to hear him laid out,
you understand. This is the way they've broke down these films for years,
and it was working, was working until Hollywood decided we can put our
agenda out there, we can change things, or they simply decided that it's
not going to versen. Now. Look when I was talking about some of
these characteristics of a hero outside of it being defined as a male, and
he gave his reason, it's not a sexist reason. In my opinion,
I think it's a logical reason. When you look at his reason. Moeny
talks about them coming from a lowly position in life, that that's not just
one single race. So you could employ these techniques and still incorporate whatever race
of character you want to. There's no definition there where it's locked in.
But they're not even following these techniques. They're not even following this because they're
just putting out stories that a lot of times just don't seem to make sense
anymore. And it just seems to be falling away because people aren't excited to
watch the latest diversity checkbox movie. I mean, Jim, are you an
avid film wauncher or are you somebody that you know because I love movies.
It depends on the type of film. Jack. I'm not a huge science
fiction fantasy yet, but I've seen the original Star Wars movies and the second
batch of Star Wars movies. But then I stopped watching Star Wars and for
pretty good reason. It became pretty bad. Yeah. I think the person
who's now taken over these Star Wars films has actually come out and stated she
wants to teach men a lesson. Yeah, and you know, I think
the male audience for Star Wars makes up a pretty darn big percentage of that
fans so sweet. You got to you gotta ask yourself, well, what
actually is the strategy here. It used to be about making money. It
used to be about making these big box office bonanzas, but that doesn't seem
to be a strategy anymore. Yeah. The person in charge of lucasfilm is
a woman by the name of Kathleen Kennedy who proudly is run around with t
shirts that say the Force is female, which you know anything about the movies.
No, the force is the force. It doesn't doesn't identify as anything.
It's just the mystical force that binds everyone around. Well, it's funny
that you bring up, you know, how the numbers here, because let
me see if I can find the article here where I have it, Because
there's a breakdown and if you look at the breakdown of the numbers of the
folks that are watching Star Wars films, it's like it only thirty percent women.
No, it's seventy four percent men are watching Star Wars against twenty six
percent of women. So again, and this is even after the sequels came
out and you've seen them go down this woke path, it's still a dominated
male series. So why are you doing this Because it's not working. You're
not drawing in the female audience the way that you won't when you look at
the Marvel movies. It's a little bit closer in number, but it's still
like seventy five seventy percent men. So it's or maybe even sixty five percent
men. So it might be a little closer, but they're not drawing in
the audience that they're trying to cater to. As a matter of fact,
they're trying to slap in the face of the audience that made this content in
the first place as successful as it is. And if you're following what they've
been doing lately in Star Wars again, I'm a huge fan, you know,
of the series. I grew up on it. The original Star Wars
movie came out when I was two years old. It's the first movie I
remember going to see. In the movie theater. So it's something that's very
important to me. It's something that I've been a fan of since I was
a child. And even when the prequels came out, they weren't as good,
but I still enjoyed them because the story still was good. The dialogue
might have been a problem, but the overall story still worked for me.
Then the sequels came out. The first Badge done by Disney, and the
first movie it got me excited again. I say, Okay, this is
gonna work, even though if you listen to a lot of the critics they
say that it was kind of a rehash of the original Star Warts movie,
but it was working for me. Then they came out with the second film
in the sequel trilogy, which was called The Last Jedi, completely undid everything
that the Verse one did, almost to the point where it felt like they
were intentionally trying to undo some of the threads they had started. In that
film, it took the hero of the original trilogy, Luke Skywalker, and
it made him weak. It made him almost a coward in many levels,
and put the focus on the female lead of the new trilogy, right who
is just good at everything Jim. She doesn't there's no struggle for her.
When you meet her, she's just by herself on a desolated planet, and
yet when she comes around, she's instantly able to best a strong Dark Side
Force user and she had never picked up a lightsaber before in her life.
But she's the best at everything. So that right there there already cracks,
you know, because and then when the second one comes out and she is
scolding the hero from the original, you're just sitting here scratching your head.
And that's when you're understanding this is a part of an agenda. This is
part of what they're going for with this. And I think that's where the
frustration came in as you watched this forced diversity come down our throat because it
wasn't working for anybody. That film created a bunch of division, Jim,
to the point that I don't think that the series has been able to recover.
I mean, the best thing they could have done was just forget that
the sequel trilogy ever happened and start over, try again. I think the
best thing they could do is just sell the franchise back to Lucas. I
agree. I would think that's the best thing they can do, because anything
in the hands of Disney right now is pretty much forced diversity, and it
turns out to be a failure. Oh yeah, and you look at things
like what's going on inside of Disney. Gina Carano incident, you know,
where she basically got fired for saying something that one of her co stars that
on the same show had made the same comparison. She got fired. Well,
first, she got in trouble because during this whole puts your pronouns on
your signature thing, she had the audacity to make a joke out and put
deep boop on it instead of putting her Then yeah, so I mean she
put out there a joke at it, and they got offended, and that's
when they first started the call let's fire Gina. Well, then she put
out a tweet where she was making a comparison the Conservatives are being prosecuted in
the same way that Jews were in Germany during World War Two. And of
course you know that's a big no no unless you're on the left side and
you make that comparison. Because her co star in The Mandalorian Pedro Pascal,
made a similar comparison before she did, nothing ever happened to him. He
was allowed to do it, and it was fine, but Gina, Gina,
it was a problem. She gets fired. Of course, she's now
in the middle of a lawsuit again Lucasfilm and Disney over the termination. I
don't know that she's gonna be successful in it, but I'm definitely rooting for
her because I think she was unjustly let go of and and that just goes
to show is correct. She was correct, you know. And that's that's
the other point, because again, as somebody she has to have identified more
conservative than the rest of them. She can't feel welcome in Hollywood. I
mean, no story after she won't feel welcome at any studio in Hollywood.
There's there's no such place as a conservative Hollywood movie making business, or franchise
or anything else that you I mean, if you're not the verse right now,
you can't work in Hollywood, even as an actor or actress. If
you're conservative, you're shunned. That's why any conservative right now in Hollywood has
to hide their political affiliation, whereas left cleaning actors and actresses, they can
appear at Biden functions millions of dollars. Yeah, it's it's insane, you
know. I mean, you have somebody like Will Smith who got up there
during the Oscars and slapped comedian Chris rop And yet here he's still getting rolls.
He's still getting cast you know, physically assaulted somebody. Not a big
deal. If you or I had done the same thing, not only had
we been called racist because we had been slapping a black comedian, we would
have been blackballed. We would have been kicked out. I'm not sure you're
allowed to say blackballed, Jack. That might be that that might get us
right now. Well, it's been a good run. But I mean,
you see that the hypocrisy here, and they continue to go down this path.
And when you look at the Marvel movies again, Jim, you're you're
not necessarily a fan from what I understand that you haven't really been watching really
just like comic book movies. I mean, except for that one funny one
with Ryan Reynolds. Yep, that's about it. Yeah, I can definitely
see you as a did for no but you you can you know how big
of a hit they were and that they were rolling. And of course last
year when the Marvels flop, they say it's comic book fatigue. It's not
because you're gonna see later this summer when the new Deadpool film comes out.
It's gonna be huge. But the Marvels, they try to make excuses for
it, but the problem was, again, it was a diversity chickbox movie.
That's what it was, and that's all it was ever intended to be.
They took a female character, a female superhero, they made her overpowered
to the point to where how do you roup how can you relate to that
there are no flaws there? And that's an inherent problem in storytelling because me
as an audience member, I don't want to watch a movie about the perfect
being. I want to watch a movie that I can relate to that there's
going to be flaws. If you go to the movie's of Iron Man,
if you go to Captain America, you can see some of their flaws.
They're not perfect hero they're just heroes. And I think that's where they're starting
to lose now because again they're getting away from Joseph Campbell because they would rather
figure out a way to check these diversity checkboxes and continue to four speed an
agenda down our throat that is just absurd when you look at it on in
space and when you break down the numbers there been. Marvel has actually had
at least one successful female lead franchise, which was an ABC mini series on
Agent Quarter. But it was well written. She wasn't perfect, she wasn't
the best at everything, and that's the reason why that worked. It's not
a case of people want to reject female leads. That's not the case at
all. But that's what they try to say every time one of these films
flops. Well, it's sexism, it's racism. They never want to acknowledge
the fact that they had successes when they were doing better written material. Black
Panther film was a huge success, better written material. It didn't just feel
like it was diverse. Wasn't wonder woman must have been in success? I
would the first thing, yes, yes, So I don't think it has
anything to do with a female character or a male character. It's when they
start to force their diversity down our throats and basically skip a plotline to do
it. That's the problem. They're not writing good movies. They're just forcing
diversity on us. And I guess what they don't realize is we don't have
to go watch these movies and listen. Disney has a long history of this.
I mean, I think they've just put out bomb after bomb. I
mean, even if you go cartoons light years bomb, Their Little Mermaid remake
was a bomb. I think their Snow White remake was a bomb. Every
one of these movies is coming out, it's a bomb because they don't really
they're not writing for the audience anymore. This has nothing to do with anything
but jamming DEI down our vroats. Yeah, And people were rejecting it because,
again, if it's not going to serve the story, if it's just
spoon fed to you, it doesn't give us an incident to watch. Then,
when you've gotten audience that makes up seventy four percent of your total viewers,
smart business, Jim. You're in business. You understand that if you've
got an audience that skws predominantly this way, if it's predominantly male, who
are you gonna make your content towards. Are you gonna worry about trying,
well, we got to attract more females, or are you just gonna go
ahead and make the content for the audience that you already have and continue to
roll in money that way. Well, it's part of the overall culture right
now, Jack seems to be to want to eliminate straight white males, and
so you if you just watch TV, your commercials, it's really hard to
find a straight white male on any TV show, on any commercial anymore,
on anything. I think they want to exterminate straight white man else in this
country, and they act like if there is one, then they're portrayed as
a complete moron. Absolutely, And it's just that's the other thing I wanted
to get into because if you go in you watch sitcoms, you remember,
back in the day, you had fathers nos best, you had strong male
leads, you know, and it wasn't at the expense to make the female
characters look dumb. It wasn't it in a manner in which they were just
domineering. They were just strong. You had good fatherly figures. Now,
if you go turn on the average sitcom, it's just this group who was
always stupid and the wife has to come in and save the day, because
again, the message they're trying to put out there is that men are stupid.
Yeah, and normally they don't even show a real family anymore. I
mean, families are also kind of you know, banned from television as well.
But I absolutely agree with you one hundred percent that a straight white father
has to be portrayed as a buffoon or they're not going to make any TV
show. No, I mean, and that's being done intentionally to try to
drive the audience, or to drive the folks watching to believe that this is
what is necessary. It's not reality. It's not what we see in everyday
life. It is a complete farce. And it cracks me up when I
see this because they know what they're doing, they understand it, and they
think we're stupid. They don't think that we can see through the nonsense.
So it doesn't just partain to Star Wars or Marvel movies. It is a
broad spectrum of things that we have. I mean, how many times did
they tell us because you remember Tim Allen who used to do Home improvement.
He came back with that Last Man Standing and it was decidedly more conservative.
His character wasn't just an idiot man. And they were constantly criticizing the show,
trying to figure out a way to get it off the air because it
wasn't pushing the agenda that they wanted push. It is absurd what we continue
to see them put out as content and they're wondering why fewer and fewer people
are watching nowadays. It's because you're not catering to an audience that wants to
watch your stuff. And when you cater to a smaller percentage the way that
they are, you're going to get less returns on your investment, because again,
you should be catering to your base, and they're not. They're hoping
to grow things, and I think we're giming up close to where it's time
to acknowledge our sponsors, but I do want to when we come back,
I want to talk too, because they're not just doing this in Hollywood.
We're seeing diversity in the sports world as well, where they're force feeding that
on and I want to come back to that. After we pause for this
quick acknowledgment of our sponsors, we're going to test down my reading skills.
As yet, this year has come with a lot of uncertainties. Will red
hot inflation continue, will interest rates continue to soar? How can the Fed
promise a soft landing when all signs point to another serious recession. If the
beginning of this year has shown one thing, inflation is not slowing down,
and the FED is completely incapable of fixing these issues. Like millions of other
Americans, I found myself asking how am I going to protect myself and my
family. That's why we at the Midnight Ride Network spoke to the folks at

Jack, I always go and check out those. I mean, we
were really appreciative of them, as well as our other sponsor with my pillows.
So we appreciate every single one of the sponsors that we have. Absolutely,
the Midnight Ride wouldn't happen with that. Absolutely, we need to go
out and support these sponsors so we can keep bringing this kind of conservative entertainment
to you. Before I go into how sports is starting to check this box
as well. One of the places I think you've seen the biggest effect of
this forced agenda, maybe not necessarily the diversity side, because if you look
at it, it is still a white male dominated industry, but it is
decidedly pushing the leftist message. That's late night television. If you go back
to the days of Johnny Carson or even the Jay Lenaware, you probably didn't
know which side of the political fence they were on. And I do go
back to those days, Jack. And the funny thing is, if the
president was Richard Nixon, they may fun of Richard Nixon. If the president
was Jimmy Carter, they made fun of Jimmy Carter. It doesn't it's not
that it doesn't work that way at all anymore. They're still making fun of
Donald Trump hasn't been the president in three and a half years, and they're
scared to make fun of Joe Biden. As a matter of fact, Jimmy
Kimball just hosted a big shindig where he had Joe Biden on stage with him.
Which have you seen the video from that, and how poor Joe Biden
looked off to Joe Biden looks poor every time he's on any kind of video
or TV show or anything else. Look, I feel bad for the man,
you know, I mean, I know he's ideally he's not on our
side, but I almost feel like, you know, we're witnessing abuse here.
I'm never gonna feel bad for Joe Biden. I'm sorry, Joe Biden
has taken advantage of this country for decades now. He's corrupt. I'm just
not going to feel bad for somebody who's been ripping off the American people for
as long as he has. He's a plagiaristic Howell. Yeah, he's dumb.
He is, He's always been dumb. I can't feel bad for that
man. The best thing he can do is be put out the pasture.
But really he belongs in handcuffs. Well you convinced me I'm no longer to
feel bad. Good dude, but no, I mean you watched the landscape
there, because back in the days of Carson and then when Leno followed him,
it was not focusing on a political message. But if you watch Jimmy
Kimball, it is one hundred percent of political message. If you watch that
Seth Myers guy, which I don't think anybody watches, but he is percent.
I think the only reason he's stolen the air is because he's so left
wing. Yeah, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon is liberal, but he might
be a little bit more moderate, but he's still going to skew that side
of the fence as well. Do you remember when he actually had Trump on,
he took so much heat because he was nice to Donald Trump. I
mean, how sick is that is? You're going to get blasted and then
you and then you got to apologize because you were nice to the President of
the United States at the time. It's ridiculous, It's insane. That's where
we're at when it comes to this culture that is being manifested from Hollywood.
They are trying to push this agenda and they're failing because you're seeing Disney Plus
subscription rates drop. You know, you're seeing Netflix as they put out bad
content. You're seeing folks drop them as well. At some point they're gonna
have to wake up and realize they're costing themselves money by putting this forced diversity
out. It's going to be interesting in the next couple of years, but
they're not stopping there. Back in the old days, when I was on
terrestrial radio with the Right Side Radio Show, I was one of the first
ones I know of that raised the alarm flags about how ESPN was pushing a
left wing agenda, and I got told by people, No, you're just
seeing things that's not real. Nobody will tell me I'm crazy now. Oh
no, I used to love ESPN. I love Sports Center with the Len
Berman days, and but Mike can't. I can't turn that station on anymore.
It makes me sick to my stomach watching it. Well, they knew
by jumping into the sports arena that they had a captured audience. You're there
to watch a game, you're there to see the highlights. We can push
an agenda here, we can have this on this side, and you're going
to watch it because you're not going to turn off sports. And for the
most part, they've been right because even no matter how mad people got at
the NFL about taking a knee, people were still watching football. Yeah,
because back in the day, if you remember, none of us knew what
an a hole Keith Oberman was at that time. But eventually they'll let him
speak his mind. And that's when I turned off ESPN. I mean,
and I think what you're seeing now in sports where they're trying to drive this.
Major League Baseball they just recently decided to recognize the old negro leagues,
which terrible that they had to exist in the first place, the fact that
they weren't allowed to be in the major leagues. I agree that was wrong.
If they were good enough to play in the major so they should have
been allowed, absolutely, But the leagues existed and it was a separate league.
They only played sixty game seasons, maybe seventy at most, and you're
comparing that to one hundred and sixty two to one hundred and fifty game season,
depending on the year you're looking at. And now you're elevating folks that
played less played against lesser competition as well. And I know they tried to
say no, no, that league was on. It wasn't because when you
look at when they've stacked up against major league talent, they weren't putting up
the same numbers. That tells you that the talent level wasn't as good in
that league. They had some people that were superstars on their stagul page,
on some of the Josh Gibson, Yeah, there was a handful of really
good superstars that could have played in the major leagues, no doubt about it.
Jackie Robinson came in first black player and dominated, but as a league
compared to the major leagues, yeah, probably couldn't have competed with him.
No, and that's proof. But now because they look up and they say
that only six percent of the Major League is African American. You know,
if you see black people playing in the major leagues, they're probably from Puerto
Rico or another country. For the most part, their percentage is way down.
So they think that if they're going to get this diversity checkbox, the
way that they're going to do it is by now recognizing these lead these records
from another league and elevating them above old white stars Ty Cobb, who you
might say was a terrible person based on certain things you might have read about
him. I don't know, because again history is what it is. He's
no longer the all time batting average guy. That's now Josh Gibson. Based
on lesser stats, they've elevated him above that. Abe Ruth I don't think
has the best slow percentages all major League Baseball doing them. This is major
League Baseball is recognized. So now Josh Gibson holds that record too. And
again nothing against Josh Gibson. I think it's a tragedy that he wasn't allowed
to play in the majors. But he wasn't allowed to play in the Major
so he can't elevate his stats to this level the way that they have.
And it's not going to instantly change the perception of a community where they're you
know what, now I want to play in that league. No, if
they it's cheaper to play basketball, let's just be honest, it is.
Well, inner city kids are going to play basketball, be leaning towards basketball
because it's made a concrete. The entire city has made a concrete. There's
not a lot of ball fields in the middle of Manhattan. You just don't
find it. So it just makes sense. And I mean, they keep
talking about the varsity in baseball, what about the varsity and basketball? Are
they trying to get more white kids to play basketball? And if you look
at the treatment of Caitlin Clark in the NBA, I don't think they are.
I mean I don't. I don't really understand. Why is it it's
okay for best NBA to be ninety percent black, but it's really bad for
the Major League Baseball to be ninety percent white. I mean, what's what's
the difference there? And you know they've got to if you look at football,
it's what seventy five percent black? Yeah, So I mean again they're
they're dominating the sports. You know. Here's here's the thing with this DEI
stuff. It's the same in any profession, you play the best people you
can. It's to be about merit, not about race, not about sexral
persuasion, not about anything else. It's like these airlines that are hiring people
based on DEI instead of the most qualified pilots. I think everybody with any
common sense would realize, I want when I'm in there at however many feet
we're gonna be, I want the best person, best qualified person, be
flying that plane. It's the same with sports. You want the best people
playing agree, you know. And that's that's the sad indictment. And here's
a question for you. You know, if ty Cobb was a black man
and he yelled that record, do you think they would have pushed these records
over? Do you think if he was already a minority, they would have
done anything to maybe rob him of a record he held. No, it's
because they want to try to elevate these folks and try to again push out
the past. That's what they're doing. We're constantly being told that Babe Ruth
wasn't as good as he was, which is a fallacy because they try to
say, well, you know, ground rule doubles counted as a home run.
Why went back and looked up, and there are no accounts of his
record sixty home run season of any of them being a ground rule double.
All of them cleared the fence on their own in ballparks where the wall was
way further away than it is today. So it's an impressive feat, but
they try to downplay because they want to elevate something else. Again, it
goes back to similar things they've done with the founders and things like that.
They're trying to take away the historical context the folks that we have for a
long time looked up to, you know, and not because of the race,
but because of the accomplishments, the things that they were able to put
out. That's what we were looking for all these years. Those are the
reasons why we looked up to people like Thomas Jefferson, George Washington. The
reason we looked up to him is their accomplishments in creating this country. The
reason we looked up to a Babe Ruth is because the man saved major League
Baseball after the nineteen nineteen Black Sox scandal. So we looked up to that
stuff and we elevated that. But this is where they're starting to come across
with this forced diversity, and they're taking it to a whole other level now
where they're trying to completely change history. Because again you've got one league that
was considered the top of the top. There was a reason why the Negro
League play wanted to get into the majors because they knew it was the better
competition. Absolutely, you know. And again, Jim, what do you
think do you think if Tacam had been a black person, do you think
they would have touched those records? Do you think they would have done this?
Of course not they of course they wouldn't. Now this is really I
wrote a column called the WARL and White People. This is part of that
WARL on white people. I mean, I hate to say it, but
they want to marginalize the founding fathers and anybody who lived in a different error
than us, didn't play by the same rules, that didn't make George Washington
Thomas Jefferson less great because they lived in a different error. As a matter
of fact, these people should be looked up as American heroes that they have
been throughout our history because they created this country that we're living in. And
how anyone can't see that this is the greatest country because of those people.
I don't I don't get it. I don't get marginalized baseball players or anybody
else. They're tearing down statues of great people, Teddy Roosevelt, you name
it. It's just it's the craziest thing I've seen. It's horrible living through
this as somebody my age who has been proud to be an American my entire
life. It's it's horrifying, and I'm horror horrified for my grandchildren and my
children of what this country is turning into. How do we turn it around?
Jack? That's the real key, you know. The first thing we
have to do is we have to start figuring out ways to take back and
fight push back in the areas where we're losing ground. And maybe that's you
know, through new production companies like The Midnight Ride, where we're putting out
our own content. We're putting out content that skews to folks with our ideology.
I think it's the Daily Wire. Don't they already put out their own
content as well, doing similar things, making movies that are skewed more to
a different audience. I think those are the ways, and we're gonna have
to deal with the criticism. We're gonna get hit with a first, it's
gonna come. You can't you cannot be a sissy in this business if and
we've got to start pushing back harder than we have. We've got to start
making fun of these people, because, let's face it, some of this
stuff. People have to be real idiots to believe that a transgender male should
be competing against the female. It's the dumbest thing in the history of the
planet. Or a biological male, i should say, competing against females.
Yeah, you have to be an idiot to think that that's the right thing
to do. But there's half this country who believes that should happen. So
we've got to start fighting back a lot harder. Conservatives and just people with
common sense have to stand up, be louder, stop being afraid, stop
being afraid to be canceled, stop worrying about social media, stop worrying about
your neighbors, speak up and be brave, absolutely, and that's that goes
back to the core tenants of things that we've been preaching since day one on
this show is making sure that people understand that you've got to be in the
fight. You can't just sit back and say, well, you know,
somebody may call me a name if I get involved. They're probably going to
call you a name anyway. Yeah, get involved. And here's the thing.
If you don't, when when things go sideways for you and this country,
you don't have a leg to stand on anymore. You can't sit back
any longer and say, hey, you know, I wish things were the
way that they once were because because you didn't do anything to maintain it,
you didn't do anything to make this fight happen. And I think that's one
of the sad realities what we're watching. And you said something in a second
ago where half the country agrees with this transgender stuff, I don't think that's
so oh, it's a lot about it. I think it's no. I
think it's far less. And I'll give you an example Oregon, State of
Oregon. Would you consider that a conservative or liberal leaning state? Liberal?
There was a transgendered track and field athlete that dominated the crowd, won the
big gold medal at the podium stand. When she he split up there to
take his metal, they booed and makes me. What I was saying was
that there's a lot more people that agree with us. What I really meant,
the problem is we don't speak up the everybody who's loud about this.
Well, first of all, those people have a platform, whereas we have
to do podcasts and create our own networks to be heard. But just everyday
average people, they just want to go about their business and be left alone,
and they don't want to get into this fight. But I hate to
tell these people they have to. They have to stand up and be heard,
because it can't just be a handful of us standing up for common sense,
what's right, for the founding fathers, for the basis of this country
being born. It's just we all have to stand up and start being a
little bit a lot louder. Actually, because the left is as loud as
they can get. They're a minority, but they're so darned loud. And
the people on the left, let's look at them, they're stupid, Like
they're the dullest people ever. You got your Joe Biden's you'r AOC's your Bernie
Sanders. I mean, the people on the left have always been stupid and
they've always been wrong in history. Karl Marx was stupid and wrong. I
mean, even Adolf Hitler was a socialist. I mean, these these people
have never been right throughout history. And unless good, strong people who believe
in what this country stands for start to speak up, we're going to lose
the country. Absolutely. But I see I see the waking up beginning because
I'm seeing folks get frustrated with things that they used to just turn them blind.
I to you, and when you look up and you see folks like
Bill Moore. Bill Moore is a liberal through and through, start to stand
up with is starting to question the woke culture. He's pushing back against it.
I mean, and I remember back in the day when I was doing
the Right Side on the radio, this guy used to be probably a weekly
person that I would call out because he would say the most serd, crazy
liberal things. And now I'm watching him and I'm sitting here shaking my head.
I'm like, that's Bill Moore. I'm green with. But you know
what, Bill Maher has realized, you can never be liberal enough for these
people. They're only to keep pushing further, further, further, further to
the left. I mean, we're heading towards pedophilia being legalized. I mean,
if we continue on the path, you can never be liberal enough for
these people. And that's Bill Moore has actually realized that, wait, hey,
put on the brakes here. We're becoming really really stupid and moral.
And you know, the country's heading towards a path that can't be sustained.
Sodom and gomora is what we're adding towards solutely, you know. And it
starts with culture. It starts with these things. Like we talked about the
pop culture stuff that we let off the show. When you start to infiltrate
the things that we daily consume, the things that we're watching constantly, the
franchise is that we find beloved that we don't want to turn off. There's
a reason why people who don't like the new Star Wars or the new Marvel
movies still will show up in the theaters go see them. There's still folks
that are gonna sit there because they're hoping that it turns that corner and comes
back around. And it might, but it's gonna take more people deciding that
they're not gonna watch it right, you don't want to. This is the
one thing. I mean, we did it really well with bud Light.
You know, they tried to force a trans person down the throats of people
that just want to go drink a beer at a bar. And you know,
these are everyday average Americans who drink bud Light. These these aren't your
craft beer drinkers. These are just good old mom pop drinking beer Americans.
And they're going to force a trans person down their throat. And you know,
as I was proud of conservatives finally standing up or just they don't even
know if they're conservatives, just regular people deciding, you know what, I
just want to drink beer. I don't want I don't want to have a
trans person selling me the beer. And you know, say with Target,
when Target tried to pull that stunt with you know, selling trans stuff to
children, Pride merchandise right up front in the store, use the children's side.
It's just we have to start doing it more. No one should go
see Disney movies anymore. I don't understand why parents keep taking their kids to
Disney. We eventually we have to just say no. I mean, if
we have enough people do it, then they'll finally get the message. But
at this point here, there's too many people that are willing to just go
along to you know, to keep the peace. And we got to start
standing up. The left certainly does it to conservative companies. The right has
to start doing as well. Absolutely, you know, And that's our hero's
journey. As we talk about Joseph Campbell on the Hero's Journey, this is
our call to action. Are we going to reject the call? Or are
we going to stand up and fight for what we believe in? Again?
Yes, he wrote these principles based on works of literature, works of film
in different calls of the hero's Journey. We are currently on a hero's journey
ourselves. We are currently on a path to where we need to be more
vocal. We need to be more engaged in everything. We need to stand
up. And when ESPN is putting out documentaries defending trans swimmers swimming against biological
females, we should turn that off. We shouldn't worry that. Hey,
they're the network that has the NBA Finals, so I'm gonna have to watch
it. You know, you can turn that off. You can walk away
from any of it, is it easy? No? Last night, you
know I'm a big Cubs fan. I know you're a Cardinals fan. Congratulations,
thank you. Last night, the Chicago Cubs were having their annual Pride
Night. I didn't turn that game on. I was like, I'm not
gonna watch it because I know that there's gonna be countless at times that they're
gonna show something on that screen and they're going to be trying to shove that
agenda down my throat. So I turned it off. I wasn't watching it.
Second, I canceled the NFL package when the NFL embraced Black Lives Matter
because they're a terrorist organismuation, so I canceled them. And more people have
to start doing stuff like that. I mean I still haven't. I still
don't watch the NFL. I mean, part of the reason is her root
for the Jets, but the other reason is I just I'm not going to
support that agenda. Yeah, you know, and that's that's noble. Well,
because people don't do that, people don't turn it off, and that's
one of they'll complain about it. They'll be the first to stand up there
and say, you know, I don't like this, but they're not going
to do anything to change it at all. They're going to continue to push
it down that path constantly. Now, I know we're coming close to the
end of the show, Jim, but there's something you know we brought up
at the beginning of the show that I think I want to know what it
feels like to have somebody else where they're rather and this is coming. And
I don't think I can say no, you didn't. You did buy it
and bring it upon me. So do you have a Rhino of the week?
Jack? We can just always go with Mitt Romney or Mitch McConnell or
any of them, because they're always going to be in the news as a
Rhino of the week. So yeah, one of those be the Rhino of
the week, just so that way you can feel better about Avenue wear the
mask. We're right when you said earlier show, this smells really bad to
hear with the plastic. I definitely, I definitely tell you. And sorry,
Chris, this is going to be what gets us canceled. The fact
that I got Jim to put on the mask. That's this is the last
show. You will have nothing to come back now. I'll just canceled.
The Right Side. Chris's show The Right Side didn't have a rhino mask.
That's true. Well, guys that we appreciate you as always watching Chris McDaniels
America, and Chris will be back next week. He apologizes for not being
able to be here this week, of course, but he we tried.
We tried to get it to where we could time inform. Unfortunately schedules didn't
line up. But I hope that you still found what Jim and I were
able to put forth entertaining and we appreciate you guys tuning in. This has
been Chris McDaniels America. Well, I hope you guys enjoyed that that was
a fun time yesterday. Of course, I'm going to happily give the big
seat back to Chris next week when he returned turns to Chris McDaniels America.
But I was pleased to get to fill in for him. It was important
to Chris as well as it was to myself and Jim that we still put
out a show when schedules wouldn't line up to make it work for him.
We all agreed that it was a better idea to have something out there,
and I think we gave you something pretty good, so I hope that you
guys enjoyed it. I look forward to next week, like I said,
being back in my own chair, with or without the rhino mask. Who
knows. I mean maybe moving forward, I'll have to start making Jim wear
the rhino mask a little bit more often, because I think that was awesome.
