1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,360 The next Stephen Good Day Download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,039 part by Kellatrin, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 3 00:00:08,279 --> 00:00:12,839 keep it off, and also by priviging keeping your brain healthy. The good 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,920 news is that it's Monday. It's a day to celebrate, but only here 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,800 in Massachusetts. End up in Maine, it's officially Patriot's Day. So the 6 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,280 question, as that fabulous consultant has said to me, and I keep reminding 7 00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:34,240 everybody of this. I don't know why I remind everybody because most people don't 8 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,640 care how we work this. We just want to make sure we work it 9 00:00:37,799 --> 00:00:42,359 right right. So the question at the beginning of the hour is do you 10 00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:47,200 know what Patriots Day is really all about? Yes? Jay, Yes, 11 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,600 yes, Yes? What is it all about? Isn't it? What's it 12 00:00:51,640 --> 00:01:00,439 all about? Jay? Is it regarding the It's not the original answer a 13 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,560 question with a question. I want to answer a question with a question. 14 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,040 You have to give me yes it is. Well, this day is actually 15 00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:12,920 the official there let's see today's anks to the seventeen, so we're two days 16 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:21,920 off from the beginning of the Revolutionary War. It was originally this day celebrated 17 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:27,680 on the nineteenth, which was the actual anniversary of the battles which were fought 18 00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:34,799 in seventeen seventy five of Lexington and conquered and then up in Maine there was 19 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:41,400 a there was a battle not so significant. If you go to Lexington, 20 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,879 Massachusetts and go to the Green, I've bet a lot of people who are 21 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,760 tourists like to go around Massachusetts, take the bus ride and see the statues 22 00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:57,719 and see the pictures and hear the stories of what actually I should I said, 23 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,560 Massachusetts Maine pretty much it is the It's Massachusetts where it's really celebrate in 24 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,520 the and the marathon is run on Patriots Date, its official holiday. Schools 25 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,719 are closed, banks are closed, everything's closed. Isn't this one of those 26 00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:15,919 holidays where there's a lot of battle re enactments indications, Yes, yep, 27 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:25,000 yep, and so in let's see what things will happen today include observations in 28 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:34,000 Massachusetts, main Florida and Wisconsin and Connecticut North Dakota have a day that's set 29 00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:39,400 aside. Usually it's the third Monday in April, and it is there are 30 00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:46,080 all kinds of historical societies that were set up and as a result, there 31 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,960 are this whole business about the meaning of Patriot has changed, along with so 32 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,719 many other things. Right, the things that we know. There's a radio 33 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:07,400 a few radio stations and formats called the Patriot that was a syndicated radio format 34 00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:10,360 that lasted about five minutes. It was based on the same stuff that you 35 00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:16,039 hear on lots of the other conservative programs. And I was out and about 36 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:22,719 yesterday doing farm stuff, and I had stopped at one of my favorite little 37 00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:28,120 haunts that just opened for springtime so I could get some clams. And as 38 00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:31,240 I'm standing there in line, people are ordering this and ordering. They's one 39 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:37,039 of those outdoor things that really do mark the beginning of the good weather because 40 00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:39,319 they are only opened and the good weather. Those places they serve you. 41 00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:43,719 Okay, I'm Hamburger, you know what I'm talking about, those places that 42 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,599 people love to go. So anyway, as I'm standing there, there were 43 00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:53,599 a bunch of pickup trucks and motorcycles that drove by at very high rates of 44 00:03:53,639 --> 00:04:00,280 speed. The pickup trucks all had American flags sort of attached to the rear 45 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:06,639 of the pickup truck bed, and the motorcycles had you know, the flags 46 00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:12,520 were attached to the back part of the motorcycle and they're all wearing red, 47 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,120 white and blue, and they're blowing their horns and whatever it is. And 48 00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:24,319 so that's all well and good. It maybe is a nice expression of whatever 49 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,160 you think Patriot's Day is all about. But that doesn't make you a patriot. 50 00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:33,240 What makes you a patriot, in my estimation, is some deed, 51 00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:43,199 some act, some effort that's made to show that you are an American, 52 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,959 that you support America in a solid way, not with words, but with 53 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:54,519 deeds, with things that For example, the people that gave their lives on 54 00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:59,319 September eleventh, those people because of what happened in New York City. Those 55 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:06,439 are patrio riots. People who have fought in just causes wars and have given 56 00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:12,879 the ultimate sacrifice, or who have paid with legs and limbs and that sort 57 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,800 of thing. They responded to the call for duty and they did what they 58 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,399 were asked to do. Whether it made sense or it didn't make sense, 59 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:27,879 it was something that that you know, they they went the full extent, 60 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,279 they went to the end in order to and that's really what the meaning of 61 00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:38,720 Patriots Day is here. It was meant to honor the men in the battles 62 00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:46,160 of Lexington and conquered. There were other certainly battles, but that's where it 63 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:55,959 started, and then they was as we went forward. In eighteen oh four, 64 00:05:56,319 --> 00:06:00,639 I'm sorry, eighteen ninety four, the governor of Massachusett the time was 65 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,079 the one who really started calling a Patriot's Day. It had been Fast Day 66 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,199 before that. The idea of celebrating by not eating. I don't know why 67 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:15,800 people think that that's a celebration, but that's you know, it's with two 68 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,279 each his own, as far as I'm concerned, right, and that's it. 69 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:27,560 And so it usually here we are in Massachusetts, and this is how 70 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,639 the three day weekend started. It used to be when I was a kid, 71 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,600 Patriots Day was celebrated on the actual day, April nineteenth, wherever it 72 00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:38,480 came. Usually it was school vacation week anyway, So you know, the 73 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,600 third week in April is nominally as is the third week in February the school 74 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,600 vacation week. So in February it's meant to It was at that time because 75 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:55,040 both Presidents Lincoln and Washington had birthdays were close, so they were celebrated in 76 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,920 that week. And then it was made into a Monday holiday, you know, 77 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,720 all of the things that corruptive just what reality is today? No school, 78 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,839 well, there's no school in most place around the country today that have 79 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,720 April and February vacations because third week in April and so no, there's no 80 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,199 there isn't any there is no school, but there there wouldn't be any school 81 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:23,279 anyway because school vacation is this week. But there are no banks open, 82 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,279 there are no public buildings that are you know, no towns, no cities, 83 00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:31,240 no offices are open. And you know what, it really feels like 84 00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:34,720 a holiday to me. There are very few of these Monday holidays that I 85 00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:38,519 feel like, or a very few holidays period. You know, if you've 86 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,120 listened to me for any amount of time, you know that I think we 87 00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:44,639 have way too many holidays, and most of them are nonsensical because we don't 88 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,680 really do anything you want. For example, Martin Luther King Day, Okay, 89 00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:53,240 it's great, or maybe we should have a Black history there's something that 90 00:07:53,399 --> 00:08:00,360 people actually do something. And there are other I think Memorial Day, candid, 91 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,240 it's a quasi it's a Monday holiday that kind of people acknowledge. Veterans 92 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,319 Day. I don't think people pay as much attention to that as they ought 93 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,959 to, but there are other days that are just you know, they don't 94 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,399 really that nothing happens. I think youngsters should be in school, frankly on 95 00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:24,319 Patriots Day and on all these other holidays, so that they can learn about 96 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,000 what this all means. What does it mean? People don't even remember a 97 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:33,200 lot of people And I'm not going to embarrass James by asking them a question, 98 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:35,799 but there are a lot of people who haven't got a clue as to 99 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:39,919 what Most of the holidays that we have now that we celebrate are all about. 100 00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:46,679 And this is one of the holidays that people and when I was in 101 00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:50,840 school, and I don't know how much is done now because the curriculum has 102 00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:58,000 changed so much. The Boston Marathon is today. There are lots of sporting 103 00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:05,360 events. Even during World War Two the marathon was run. The only time 104 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:11,799 it wasn't run was guess what when would the only time would you in recent 105 00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:18,240 memory that there was no marathon? Yeah, pandemic COVID, Yeah there was 106 00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:26,559 no They were both canceled anyway, Well I shouldn't say that because the the 107 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,120 COVID, the cancelation in twenty twenty happened as it was just beginning. Everything 108 00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,919 was just starting in March and in April, you know, it was everybody 109 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,720 was up to the ears and fear. So what happened in twenty twenty one 110 00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:46,080 was it was moved from April to October, and it was a big bust 111 00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:50,360 because nobody kind of got into it and there was still a lot of fear, 112 00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:54,919 that sort of thing. The Red Sox always play a home game at 113 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,799 Fenway Park on Patriot's Day, and they've been doing that forever since I can 114 00:10:00,879 --> 00:10:09,559 remember. Frankly, the weather here today for the race is rainy and miserable, 115 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,879 but it's but that's actually some of the racers some of that. I 116 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,480 used to drive the pace car for the race. I did for six years 117 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,039 because I was on the radio station that carried the Patriots the Sorry the Marathon 118 00:10:24,799 --> 00:10:28,240 play by play, if you will. So I drove the car that was 119 00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:31,960 out in front of the racers with celebrities and that sort of thing. And 120 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,519 I never could understand and I said this, and when I said it, 121 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,679 it was the last year. The last year I drove the car. Why 122 00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:43,879 do we have a car And there's a truck with photographers and video right in 123 00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:48,200 front of the racers, and we were right in front. So the exhaust 124 00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:52,080 from the truck, the exhaust from the car is being breathed in by the 125 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,600 front runners. And so when I asked the question, I was dismissed. 126 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:03,799 So I think that told me. I think that told me as something about 127 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:09,039 the reality of a little bit too much sense, right, I may I 128 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,120 may have been on to something. Yes, right. It's also known as 129 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,799 Bunker Hill Day because that's where one of the races up sorry, one of 130 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:22,080 the battles took place. And so anyway, it's kind of an evacuation day, 131 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:31,600 and so it's considered by the FEDS as a minor American holiday. Leave 132 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,120 it to the FEDS to come up with that, because if it wasn't for 133 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:41,399 the American Revolution starting and Lexingen conquered, we'd be speaking with a British accent, 134 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:48,480 right, and think about it, what happened under the circumstances. The 135 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:54,440 first blood was given, if you will, on this date, and so 136 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,840 anyway, I thought it would be interesting to go through that a little bit 137 00:11:56,879 --> 00:12:00,960 and talk about it as today is a good day to celebrate America. The 138 00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:07,039 controversy at the moment when it comes to social media things that people are flapping 139 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:16,240 about the situation with Miley Cyrus and Dolly parton song controversy, nonsense continues. 140 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,279 From my point of view, it's nonsense anyway. The idea, well, 141 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,159 let me get into this in detail, because it's kind of a sticky wicket, 142 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,840 if you will. The song is called rainbow Land. Maybe that tells 143 00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:35,799 you at all. So I think they sang that on the show that they 144 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,080 Miley Cyrus hosted, but Dolly was a part of it, right if you 145 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,080 know what the show was something I don't think they did. But this is 146 00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:48,519 on Miley's album and it's the song starts off really sweet with a real voicemail 147 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,320 that Dolly left for Miley, and then they go into this. They co 148 00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:54,720 wrote this together, and Doug, you and I had already discussed this once 149 00:12:54,799 --> 00:12:58,519 upon a time when it first came out that there was a first grade class 150 00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:01,519 and they were going to do their kind of like fine arts program and have 151 00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:07,559 songs and the theme was along the lines of this and rainbow Land was perfect 152 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,639 for it, and the students were excited about it, and then parents spoke 153 00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:16,480 out that they felt like it just wasn't a great situation. They shouldn't seem 154 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,320 the song it was also the parents say they have the courage to say why. 155 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,639 Yeah, there were a couple of parents that said that they wouldn't They 156 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:30,159 just they weren't comfortable with it. And then one of them why ties with 157 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,840 a lot of pride stuff because of the rainbow flag. And then this teacher 158 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,320 spoke out about it and it was saying that the students were so excited about 159 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,919 this, and the teacher was put on leave, and so a lot of 160 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,600 parents, pretty much the rest of the parents are all standing behind the teacher. 161 00:13:45,639 --> 00:13:50,519 But here's the thing with this song. It's actually about people just loving 162 00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:52,600 one another, life being a little bit better, being a little bit sweeter 163 00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:56,559 if we could live in a rainbow land. Kind of like what people always 164 00:13:56,799 --> 00:14:00,480 give whenever they're trying to be like a little sarcastic. If somebody is looking 165 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,679 at sunshines, it's always like, oh, life is always sunshines and rainbows 166 00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:07,120 or unicorns and rainbows. It's kind of like sunuation. It has nothing to 167 00:14:07,399 --> 00:14:11,159 do with yeah, with pride. To the lgbt QA community, right, 168 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:16,480 people are so ignorant about dreaming, hoping and ignorance. There is so much 169 00:14:16,519 --> 00:14:24,000 ignorance supported by stupid stuff on social media. So here's this first grade concert 170 00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:26,799 and the teacher who this, By the way, in Washika, that's how 171 00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:31,600 you pronounce it. I think that's hypernounza Washika, Wisconsin. And the parents 172 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:37,200 want to hold a school district accountable for this bullying. And that's what they 173 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,919 call it, not what I'm calling. They call it bullying, especially when 174 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,240 they don't really these parents would go off on this happens so often. They 175 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,799 don't really know what the issue is. They don't know what songs about everything, 176 00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:54,399 so triggering. That rainbow can only be tied to one thing. Do 177 00:14:54,440 --> 00:15:00,279 you get mad when you see a rainbow in the sky? That is the 178 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:07,840 best question of all. Thank you for dropping that on as Jays. As 179 00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:13,399 long as Jennifer is here. We had to talk about the contract for Andrew 180 00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:16,320 Tolls. That's a good thing, Okay. I thought you're going to talk 181 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:22,159 about the games this weekend and I didn't really want to talk about that. 182 00:15:22,159 --> 00:15:24,919 That must mean that they didn't do so well. Oh, just still stinging 183 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,799 from Friday night, that's all. When Dave Romins left a picture in for 184 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,759 two innings when he gave up that runs so Anyway, this fellow, Andrew 185 00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:39,759 Tolls, hasn't played a Major League baseball game since twenty eighteen, but the 186 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,679 Dodgers have renewed his contract. You want to give us the story behind the 187 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,159 story of why he hasn't played any much. Well, you might remember that 188 00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:52,240 this guy was like found in Florida. He's got a really serious about of 189 00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:56,759 mental illness. Yeah, right, And he was found in Florida and he 190 00:15:56,919 --> 00:16:00,000 was like people, couldn't you know? His family was looking for him, 191 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,200 and then they finally tracked him down and the guy needs help. And so 192 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,919 the Dodgers, knowing this, resigned him just simply so that he could get 193 00:16:07,919 --> 00:16:11,960 his health insurance and that he wouldn't have to pay for it. So I 194 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,480 think that's that's a pretty big deal. The team's health insurance probably better than 195 00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:21,840 what he could get on the public duel. And he played every every season 196 00:16:21,879 --> 00:16:23,879 he was in the major leagues. He played with the Dodgers, but he 197 00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:27,759 hasn't played with them for a very long time. But he was homeless in 198 00:16:27,919 --> 00:16:33,200 Key Wests back in twenty twenty. That's when that's when it was so he 199 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,600 was charged with trespassing before he was released to his dad they found out he 200 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,240 had all of this mental illness and stuff, but his dad's been trying to 201 00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:42,080 treat him. So the medical stuff is going to really help. From the 202 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,200 Dodgers, I think it's great for them, good for them. Ye, 203 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:51,519 yes, all right. I've been doing some data examination and before we get 204 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,759 to the data about what's going on in the Republican Party. Because Jennifer's here 205 00:16:55,759 --> 00:17:00,080 and she's always on top of that sort of thing, Marjorie Taylor Green and 206 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,679 Lindsey Graham, etcetera, etcetera, I thought you'd be personal friends, so 207 00:17:03,879 --> 00:17:08,119 you know, yes, right, yeah, she hasn't called back though the 208 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:14,119 top touring records at the moment. This is not of all time, this 209 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,960 is at the moment. So the data that I have examined on the touring 210 00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:25,160 records of those tours that are out on the road right now, you are 211 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:33,960 going to be amazed. All right, the top ten? Are you ready? 212 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:41,559 Swet? No? She no, not even she's not even this is 213 00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:45,119 currently on tour. She's not even in the top ten. Where do you 214 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,920 get this list the highest grossing list? If you go to data examiner dot 215 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:59,599 com you will see the information at number ten. Metallica the current tour has 216 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,039 taken in four hundred and seventeen million dollars. The current tour for ac DC 217 00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:10,119 has taken in four hundred forty one million dollars. The what what do you 218 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,519 mean? What? Cole Play five hundred and twenty three, the Rolling Stones 219 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,599 five hundred forty seven million. But the one on the top, this is 220 00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:26,240 the one that's most that is amazing. The rocket Man end of what end 221 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:33,240 of performance? The highest grossing tour of all time eight hundred eighteen million dollars 222 00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:37,960 according to Billboard magazine. Let's see Edge Shear and its seven hundred and seventy 223 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:44,559 six million. And you've taken the fact that all of these shows, like 224 00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:48,119 the Rocket Man final tour has been they've been two hundred and seventy eight shows 225 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,240 and they have fifty one more dates. So this guy's going to make a 226 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:59,000 billion dollars on his final tour. And that's what I find, all right? 227 00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:02,640 So where's Taylor Stript? Must have found her in there someplace. I 228 00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:06,359 figured that girls would go right for the Yeah, I was. I was 229 00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:07,920 totally tuned into what you were saying. I was. I went to your 230 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:15,920 list data examiner dot com because I didn't want to get Chinese. Sorry, 231 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,119 take it for what you tell us. Thank you. All right, So 232 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,240 let's get to a Senator Lindsey Graham taking your shake over your webcam tonight before 233 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:32,440 you. Okay, I'll do that, Jennifer. Thank you. Senator Lindsey 234 00:19:32,519 --> 00:19:40,759 Graham blasting Marjorie Taylor Green for defending the kid who stole all of the classified 235 00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:45,920 military secrets from the Pentagon. So, according to Lindsey Graham, Miss Green's 236 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:53,680 statement was unjustifiable and irresponsible. Well, see, there's everybody's going to different 237 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,200 pieces of this. Tucker on Tucker Carlson on Thursday night, as this guy 238 00:19:59,279 --> 00:20:03,200 was arrested, it was pretty much defending him, saying, you know where 239 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,640 what happened. I take a little different track. I do think there's more 240 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,200 to this story. And maybe you taught me that, Doug, because there's 241 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:17,839 always more to the story when it comes to the government. But I would 242 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,400 say that this, you know, twenty one year old, however old he 243 00:20:21,599 --> 00:20:26,400 was, it is questionable why he had the clearance that he had. That's 244 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:33,519 where I'm coming down. It's questionable how that information came from him and went 245 00:20:33,519 --> 00:20:37,160 into an online chat form when they can tell when Doug stuff and posts about, 246 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,519 you know, a COVID vaccine or the virus coming from China, and 247 00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:44,359 they can find you, but they can't find a guy who's put out our 248 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:49,920 most secret classified information on the web. So I do take it. I 249 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:56,799 think that's very strange and either you know, intentional or ineptitude, I think 250 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,839 is what you have to say. So, and then the other kid in 251 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,680 in the group who then starts passing this around and it still doesn't get detected. 252 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,559 It takes the media who finally gets a hold of this story and puts 253 00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:11,759 it out there. And then it takes the media once again to identify this 254 00:21:11,839 --> 00:21:15,319 person and put his name out there, so then the FBI is forced to 255 00:21:15,319 --> 00:21:18,720 come in and arrest him. I mean, if you want to look like 256 00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:22,960 this is not I mean, you're not in control of your narrative. That's 257 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,559 what the government has looked like through all of this. They're just not in 258 00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:29,599 control of what's happening or what should happen. They wouldn't even verify whether or 259 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,440 not these documents are real, yet they had the investigation, and then not 260 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,960 one member of this dumb mainstream news media asked if the information that was in 261 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,759 the classified documents was true because a lot of what was in the classified documents 262 00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:47,640 that was released is in really sharp contrast to what the government's been telling us 263 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,160 the last few months, including whether or not Russia is winning or losing the 264 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,000 Ukraine War. The documents in sinuate that they're actually doing a lot better than 265 00:21:56,039 --> 00:22:00,599 the media has been reporting, which is that Russia's losing and losing in droves. 266 00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:03,440 So why not ask those questions. It's like there is no honesty around 267 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,599 here. So I do I agree that something stinks now. I don't think 268 00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:11,319 that we should treat people who put like information like this up as heroes because 269 00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:15,720 there's still stealing stuff that's not theirs. But there is something else going on, 270 00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:21,359 I think. So here's the thing I take exception too. Lindsey Graham 271 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:26,759 was on ABC's This Week and he was asked about this whole kerfluffle, and 272 00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:33,839 he said that that Marjorie Taylor Greene's remarks could destroy America's ability to defend itself. 273 00:22:33,279 --> 00:22:37,599 I'm not sure where he full of it gets that. I think that's 274 00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:41,839 a little puffery. He says there are military members serving today from Georgia and 275 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:48,160 other places who are less safe because of this airman there's no American involvement other 276 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,160 than supplying weaponry, unless maybe we don't know. Oh no, that was 277 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,720 released. There are American soldiers in Ukraine, now that was part of it. 278 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,960 Even though they told us, oh no, there are no American soul 279 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,240 will know the documents say that they're American soldiers at the embassy. So that's 280 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,400 why I'm saying, we don't prop the kid up to say that he's a 281 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,079 hero, because he is putting people at risk, and he's also making our 282 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,519 allies not trust us, because can we be a trusted partner? But I 283 00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:18,960 think there is also a lot of other questions to examine here too. It's 284 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:25,119 the same debate with Snowton hero or zero. Right, yeah, but yeah, 285 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:32,119 And so I'm interested in when I ran into Marjorie Taylor Green at the 286 00:23:32,839 --> 00:23:37,119 where on the plane coming back from Orlando a couple of weeks ago, I 287 00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:41,759 just kind of watched what she was doing, and she doesn't The thing that 288 00:23:42,039 --> 00:23:45,000 I always bring up when it comes to her is that she doesn't do anything 289 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,480 that helps the people that voted her in. She's doing a lot to help 290 00:23:48,519 --> 00:23:53,079 herself, and she's everywhere where there's something going on, But you know, 291 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,079 she went to the jail in New York to talk to the January six guys. 292 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:02,559 Well, because they were being you know, how does that help her 293 00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:06,599 constituents? Well, that's true, it's not a directly. I mean, 294 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,000 we don't know if her constituents we're in there, that's one one thing. 295 00:24:10,039 --> 00:24:12,559 But everybody left these guys, you know, up the river, and that's 296 00:24:12,599 --> 00:24:15,759 what's going to happen to this kid. He's dad. I mean, he's 297 00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:19,279 going to be just thrown away. And part of the comment that she made 298 00:24:19,799 --> 00:24:26,279 is it's interesting how some leagues remain anonymous where some are right there, and 299 00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:27,880 this guy happened to be in a god and guns group, and so of 300 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:33,039 course the media jumps on that like he's some sort of extremistn that becomes his 301 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,599 identifier. Yeah, right, And so now it's it's just I don't know, 302 00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:41,680 well, it's more of the double level playing field against you know, 303 00:24:41,799 --> 00:24:45,920 people who are blowing the whistle on Trump, who are anonymous and heroes, 304 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,440 and then somebody who's putting information out there. We don't even know where he 305 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,559 stands politically, but he's in a godden guns group, and so it makes 306 00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:56,759 the Biden administration look stupid the information he's putting out there. So now we're 307 00:24:56,759 --> 00:25:02,240 going to vilify him. So Majorie Taylor Green, firing back at Lindsey Graham 308 00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:07,759 after the criticism, she was there were tweets all over the places you can 309 00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:12,640 imagine about this kid. His name is Texierra. He's from Massachuset to Shara 310 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,440 to share. Is that already pronounces it? I would think so, because 311 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,039 there's a baseball player named Mark to Shara with the same spelling. Don't think 312 00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:25,039 they're related though, anyway, so Green writes, Jake is white, male, 313 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,160 Christian, and Andy war that makes him an enemy to the Biden regime. 314 00:25:29,559 --> 00:25:32,799 He told the truth about troops being on the ground in Ukraine and a 315 00:25:32,839 --> 00:25:37,960 lot more. Well, okay, so the leak is talking about whatever, 316 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:42,359 pointing fingers if you will, at our response and what's going on, She 317 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:48,880 continues. If you're a member of the Military Intelligence Committee and you disagree with 318 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,559 American policy and you think you're going to be okay when it comes to leaking 319 00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:56,440 classified information, you're going to go to jail. Well that is kind of 320 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,400 the way it works, whether you like it or you don't like get I 321 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:06,240 was happy that things when Snowdon released the stuff and when what's his face? 322 00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:11,480 What's the other guy's name that you got extra that no, well manning. 323 00:26:11,559 --> 00:26:15,920 Yeah, but the stuff that was in UM was posted on Wickham Po. 324 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,400 That's an oslange. So yeah, right in that circumstance, I thought that 325 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,000 information was important to know. I don't know that I feel the same way 326 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,559 about the stuff that's been We don't even know if it was intentional. That's 327 00:26:30,599 --> 00:26:33,200 the other thing. Yeah, all right, So still lots of questions, 328 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,200 not a lot of answers. But then that's what makes it sound much fun 329 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,519 in the manner is speaking to keep yacting about this stuff. I am Robert 330 00:26:42,599 --> 00:26:48,119 Strickler. My wife Joyce, and I have been married for fifty three years. 331 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,519 Certainly one of the really important things in my life are our children and 332 00:26:52,599 --> 00:26:57,039 our grandchildren. I am essentially a writer. I've been involved in communications and 333 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:02,839 the media. I've been an avid fly fisherman for at least forty or more 334 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,240 years. I've been taking Privigen on a regular basis for at least eight years. 335 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,359 For me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that Privigen seems 336 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:18,319 to help me recall things and also think more clearly, have a crisper ability 337 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:23,960 to remember and think through things, and I enthusiastically recommend privigen. It has 338 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:30,079 helped me an awful lot provigen healthier brain, better life. Robert Strickler is 339 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,680 a content contributor for Priviagen and real User. Based on a clinical study of 340 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,759 subgroups of individuals who are cognitively normal or mildly impaired, this product is not 341 00:27:37,839 --> 00:27:41,960 intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Trending social 342 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:48,920 media items of interest. Let's start with NPR, and they're doing a little 343 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:55,079 too much anywhere. Ah, But I think there is something to what they 344 00:27:55,079 --> 00:27:59,599 have said about being delisted by Twitter, the political impact of it, etc. 345 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,240 Etc. But as usual, they're making it worse than it actually is. 346 00:28:03,759 --> 00:28:08,240 So now there's a big to do. The National Association of Broadcaster having 347 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:14,440 their annual convention this week, and one of the things that they're talking about 348 00:28:14,519 --> 00:28:21,839 is whether or not social media will support or be supportive of public media, 349 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:27,400 which is in this case they're focusing on NPR and whether or not traditional media 350 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:33,519 ought to be worried about Twitter and what it does. I think that's not 351 00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:36,960 the right argument, of the right position to take. There is way too 352 00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:41,880 much social media. It is way too influential. And just because the folks 353 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,000 get caught in the crosshairs from NPR, they're making it about them. I 354 00:28:45,039 --> 00:28:51,359 don't think it's about them. I think it's about everybody. It's about everything. 355 00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:55,799 It has, you know, the audience. I suppose maybe in a 356 00:28:55,839 --> 00:29:00,519 manner of speaking there, the people who support of NPR are going to agree 357 00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:03,599 with their point of view. There's no news there. It's like the people 358 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:10,359 who listen to Jennifer and Carola are supportive of her point of view and the 359 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:15,759 information that comes. They're right. Oh okay, why did I think of 360 00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:18,279 that? Right? They are right with a small R and not a capital 361 00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:22,480 arn necessarily so anyway, I just think there's much ado. There's not much 362 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,799 ado, but nothing but the focus different. Then it's that this it's that 363 00:29:27,079 --> 00:29:32,160 NPR is taking money from the government and so they mark of a state media, 364 00:29:32,319 --> 00:29:34,680 which is legitimately true. But then APR then nprs like, oh, 365 00:29:34,759 --> 00:29:38,880 then you're taking away the fact that we are serious journalists here that were you 366 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,839 know, are there any serious journalists? I mean, is there anyone that's 367 00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:45,240 not on the take from the government, Because even if they're not taking money 368 00:29:45,559 --> 00:29:51,160 there's no reason for NPR to gain any government money. That's always been my 369 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,880 point of view. Jennifer, You've been with me a long time. I've 370 00:29:52,880 --> 00:30:00,000 been off on this rant for years, for decades because it's inappropriate. Oh 371 00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:03,039 my god, I keep interrupting you. What did your I'll just add in 372 00:30:03,079 --> 00:30:07,559 this part. The thing that bothers me is that if they're so conceivably, 373 00:30:07,559 --> 00:30:11,839 if the government's paying their money during times of crisis or emergency, then those 374 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,440 stations would be like kicked into gear or to spread information that people would need. 375 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,559 But you know what's going to happen. It's going to go to the 376 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,000 regular radio stations to click into gear and spread information to people, you know, 377 00:30:22,039 --> 00:30:26,279 if something really awful or catastrophic happened. So I don't see what the 378 00:30:26,359 --> 00:30:30,880 purpose of giving them government money. There is no purpose, there's no reason, 379 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:36,200 there's no excuse, there's no real I should be getting money. If 380 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,119 they give the NPR should get money. I should get money. Where's mine? 381 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,960 Public radio? Then let them have their donations. I mean, that's 382 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,279 what they're doing anyway, So they don't want to support it. Well, 383 00:30:45,359 --> 00:30:49,319 and NPR and NPR politics are two separate handles. Both the same organization and 384 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:56,720 both verified with the gold stamp thing. But NPR has the government funded media 385 00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:02,480 tag where NPR Politics does not. That's interesting point. Montana, speaking of 386 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:07,240 interesting points, become the first state to approve a bill that bands TikTok over 387 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:12,680 the Chinese government's involvement, shall we say, that's a nice way of pointing 388 00:31:12,759 --> 00:31:18,039 him. So they said, a bill to the governor there, and I'm 389 00:31:18,079 --> 00:31:23,000 guessing he'll probably sign this into law. Makes it illegal to download TikTok in 390 00:31:23,079 --> 00:31:27,359 the state. Penalties of ten thousand dollars a day, not for government, 391 00:31:27,559 --> 00:31:33,319 for anybody. If you're caught downloading TikTok, you're going to be fine ten 392 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,880 thousand dollars. That's kind of an interesting a reaction to this. Who would 393 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,960 support that? Everybody anybody here that thinks that's a good idea. If you 394 00:31:42,119 --> 00:31:47,519 get if you're caught with TikTok, ten thousand dollars band in Montana. Wow, 395 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,440 Now I think that's a I don't know, I don't know what I 396 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,799 think serious. I don't like I think TikTok needs to be banned. But 397 00:31:56,319 --> 00:32:00,599 if it should be an educational thing, not a punitive thing, you've got 398 00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:06,279 to realize what you know, what's happening by you using TikTok. That's really 399 00:32:06,319 --> 00:32:08,480 what needs to be the bottom line here. So it's great business time for 400 00:32:08,599 --> 00:32:12,440 Calidron. I would think the phones would be ringing off the hook and people 401 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,640 would be ordering nauseum. That's right.

Bartender says, we don't 422 00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:21,480 serve food here. Okay, I think we've had enough? Yes, no 423 00:34:21,559 --> 00:34:24,840 or no? Remember, let's try to find one more. What what? 424 00:34:25,119 --> 00:34:32,039 Wait a minute? Um, I asked my dog? What's two minus two? 425 00:34:36,519 --> 00:34:39,559 Two minus two? I don't know.

A Bad Jokes Day 428 00:34:55,519 --> 00:35:02,840 Authorities. An Oregon sam man emptied his family's shared bank accounts before throwing thousands 429 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:08,039 of dollars in cash onto a local highway. I suppose this could be considered 430 00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:13,079 good news and bad news. And if you're the guy throwing or the person 431 00:35:13,119 --> 00:35:17,400 catching, yeah, right, exactly, family account right, exactly, State 432 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:22,800 police and argons hit. The man has been identified as Colin McCarthy toss the 433 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:29,760 money out of his car on Interstate five. He's from New Eugene. Argon 434 00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:31,599 I can catch as a rock from a dump truck, Like, how is 435 00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:37,519 this right? We get we're on the Arab in Eugene, So what about 436 00:35:37,519 --> 00:35:40,760 it? Eugenie only what do they call people living in Eugene. I's right, 437 00:35:42,119 --> 00:35:46,639 Eugenians. Eugenians probably, So they had big time was had by all 438 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:52,960 there and the people who stopped to grab the money. You got to consider 439 00:35:53,039 --> 00:35:58,320 this is Interstate five, which is probably the busiest highway on the West coast, 440 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,400 right, it's it's you're if you're on the four or five, which 441 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,280 is an out growth of the five, or any of the five, or 442 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,079 any of these the one or one goes up and down the coast as well. 443 00:36:08,559 --> 00:36:13,519 It is very dangerous all hours of the day and night. So I'm 444 00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:17,440 trying to figure out who is smart enough or dumb enough for lucky enough to 445 00:36:17,559 --> 00:36:21,800 be able to jump out of their car, grab the money, and jump 446 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,320 back into their car before they got to run over. Right, two hundred 447 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:30,159 thousand bucks. This guy took from the bank accounts and just threw it on 448 00:36:30,199 --> 00:36:34,199 the highway. Wow. I don't what like motivated him to do this. 449 00:36:34,519 --> 00:36:37,320 He was doing well and wanted to bless others? Wow? Right, Yeah, 450 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,440 so he genuinely had some good motives. He just didn't check with the 451 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,840 rest of the families who are part of that joint bank account. Ah see 452 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,800 you later, Alligator.
