1 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,879 Speaker 1: And Hi, how are you Welcome to The Big Podcast. 2 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,120 It is Thursday. Today is the eighteenth day of September, 3 00:00:31,399 --> 00:00:34,759 Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. My name is 4 00:00:34,799 --> 00:00:38,240 Tom Sullivan. We are now. We've got a lot to 5 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,759 cover today. I want to We've got, you know, all 6 00:00:42,799 --> 00:00:45,359 the latest update about Charlie Kirk and I got the 7 00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:48,560 list of the speakers at his funeral, which I'm just 8 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,840 holding my head about. I'll fill you in on all 9 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,039 of that. We've got Jimmy Kimmel and the story about 10 00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:59,759 ABC dropping his show indefinitely. All of that to go 11 00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:02,039 over to day. But I want I want to start 12 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:08,760 in York County, Pennsylvania. And it's a little county on 13 00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:15,599 the southern side of southeastern side of Pennsylvania. And yesterday 14 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,920 there was some police that were going to serve a 15 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,359 warrant on a guy who a woman had called. She 16 00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:26,319 lived in a house that was out in the country 17 00:01:26,359 --> 00:01:29,640 and was across the street from a oh big I 18 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,519 don't know how much how big it was, it was 19 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,480 huge corn, uh, just corn as far as you could see. 20 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,840 So there were cornstocks. And the police came to serve 21 00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:41,799 a warrant on this guy for stalking the woman in 22 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,400 this particular house. They got out of their police car 23 00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:50,599 and the guy was hiding in the cornstalks and unloaded 24 00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:57,040 on them, shot five of them, killed three of them. 25 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,319 Two of them are in critical condition. We got word 26 00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:05,599 just before we started taping the podcast today that the 27 00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:09,759 police they are saying that they will eventually fully recover. 28 00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:14,360 But I mean, we talked so much about Charlie Kirk 29 00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:19,240 and his funeral and the shooting and his widow, and 30 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,719 I'm going this is just as bad. Nobody knew who 31 00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:29,800 these officers were. But when they went to work casteray, 32 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,400 it's broad daylight yesterday. When they went to work yesterday, 33 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,800 they thought they were going to be coming home. Their 34 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,719 families thought they were going to be coming home. 35 00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:39,319 Speaker 2: And so the. 36 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:46,159 Speaker 1: Grief and the shock of their spouses and children just 37 00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:51,919 as intense as Charlie Kirk's wife and his well, his 38 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,800 little children don't know. But it's just one of those 39 00:02:55,879 --> 00:03:03,280 where evil, evil is alive. And well, here's the announcement 40 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,919 that was made by the Colonel in charge of the 41 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,319 Pennsylvania State Police yesterday evening. 42 00:03:08,199 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 3: I can confirm that the shooter is dead. I can 43 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,680 confirm that there were five law enforcement officers who were 44 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,080 shot today, three fatally, two that were transported here to 45 00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:26,360 well Span in York. They are currently listed in critical 46 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:27,960 but stable condition. 47 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: And John Hoyt is the person in charge of the 48 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,199 Fraternal Order of Police in the state of Pennsylvania. Is 49 00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:38,919 here's reaction are they're critical but stable. 50 00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 4: It's still so early to tell, but the County of York, 51 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,800 It's people, law enforcement in Pennsylvania are all there beside them, 52 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,120 rallying for them. We're going to do everything we can 53 00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:53,960 for them. Sure, I can't get two into the details today, 54 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,120 but they were serving a warrant for an event that 55 00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:02,719 happened the day prior. They knew who the individual was. Unfortunately, 56 00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:06,520 the individual was set up and had a advantage on 57 00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:11,879 them and ambush as soon as they arrived. I don't 58 00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:13,919 have the details. I don't want to speak on any details. 59 00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:16,480 I'm not one hundred percent sure on but that's my 60 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,399 opinion at this time. We know the risks. Doesn't mean 61 00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:25,480 we like them, but we accept them and with who 62 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,240 we lost yesterday, Yesterday's an awful, tragic day, but I 63 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,720 think we need to remember how they conducted themselves and 64 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,920 chose to live their lives for years serving your county 65 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,360 with distinction and honor, and being the hero for so 66 00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:41,959 many people for so many years. 67 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,319 Speaker 1: So there you go. It is. Nobody goes into law 68 00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:51,079 enforcement with a death wish, but they're willing to accept 69 00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:53,199 that risk as they go out there every day and 70 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,360 every night to keep the criminals as far away from 71 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,800 you as they possibly can. God bless them to the 72 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:08,040 families that are suffering from finding out that their spouse 73 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,040 has died yesterday in the line of duty. And by 74 00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:15,519 the way, the body count, if you will, thirty police 75 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,800 officers have been killed so far this year. All right, 76 00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:25,560 onto silly business, if you will, talking about Jimmy Kimmel. 77 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,399 So last night news came out ABC said we're indefinitely 78 00:05:31,639 --> 00:05:36,319 stopping the Jimmy Kimmel program. There's so many angles to 79 00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:39,240 this that I want to share with you. One of 80 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,800 them is I worked in local and network television for 81 00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:48,079 a long time, and I remember when I first started 82 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,839 in local television, I worked for an NBC affiliate KCRA. 83 00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:02,759 Those days, the network's paid the local affiliates to take 84 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,600 their programming. You signed up to be an NBC affiliate, 85 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,160 NBC would write you a check for taking their programming 86 00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:13,680 because in their programming they got to sell advertising, and 87 00:06:13,879 --> 00:06:18,199 NBC kept the money from the advertising mostly and the 88 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,040 local affiliate maybe would get a little bit, but it 89 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,759 was the networks paid the affiliates. And I don't remember 90 00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:27,560 the exact year, but I want to say it was 91 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,839 somewhere around nineteen ninety nineteen ninety five, somewhere around and there. 92 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,839 I remember it was the buzz of the station that 93 00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:43,480 all of a sudden, the networks ABC, NBCCBS decided, wait 94 00:06:43,519 --> 00:06:47,000 a minute, we're providing you with all this great programming 95 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,920 and we're bringing eyeballs to your TV station, why don't 96 00:06:52,959 --> 00:06:57,399 you pay us. So the affiliates had to pay the 97 00:06:57,519 --> 00:07:03,000 networks for the programming that they would then air on 98 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,839 their stations. And so it's gone full circle because what's 99 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,560 happened over the years, and I've said it many times, 100 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,279 I don't know anybody that would invest in television today. 101 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,240 It's not dying, but it certainly is a lot smaller 102 00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:23,240 than it used to be. Cable took a lot of 103 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:28,079 that business away. The number of eyeballs watching ABC NBCCBS 104 00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:31,680 dropped precipitously over the years with the advent of cable, 105 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,120 but now cable is feeling the exact same effect of 106 00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:41,000 a lot of people that watched television then watch cable. 107 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,399 They're getting older and it's a smaller audience and the 108 00:07:45,439 --> 00:07:48,959 younger audiences, which is the place where the advertisers want 109 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,839 to see, they're watching streaming. That's they're watching online, they're 110 00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:59,160 watching on their phones, they're watching movies on Netflix. So 111 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,399 it's really changed everything. And in the world of local television, 112 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,160 they have a lot of stations have been sold and 113 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,839 they've been sold to two primary companies. There's a lot 114 00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:15,079 of different companies that own TV stations, but the two 115 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:25,360 biggies are Tegna, which used to be Gannet Broadcasting USA 116 00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:29,079 today and Gannet. It's one company. They sold off the 117 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,720 broadcasting and they kept the newspapers, but the new company 118 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,519 that used to be Gannet is called Tegna. Well, Tegna 119 00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:41,919 is owned a whole bunch of television stations, and there 120 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,879 is another company out there, next Star, which is the 121 00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:50,720 biggest owner of television stations in the country. They have 122 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:57,399 two hundred and sixty five local television stations in forty 123 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,240 four states. You may be watching your local ABC or 124 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,960 NBC or CBS network shows whatever channel. That number that is, 125 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,320 but it's probably a Next Star station or the second 126 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,200 biggest is accompanied by the name of Sinclair. And I 127 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,440 don't mean to bog you down with all the weeds here, 128 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,360 but I spent a lot of time in TV and Sinclair. 129 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,559 They own one hundred and eighty five stations and they're 130 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,919 in eighty five different markets. And what they have done 131 00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:34,679 is they've bought up a lot of these local stations. 132 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,159 Some of them are ABC affiliates, some NBC, some CBS, 133 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,759 but collectively everything has changed. The tail is now wagging 134 00:09:45,799 --> 00:09:51,200 the dog because the affiliates are the ones that turned 135 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,159 on ABC. They did not like what Jimmy Kimmel said, 136 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,720 kind of. I'll get into that in just a second, 137 00:09:57,799 --> 00:10:00,960 into what the real reason is behind all this. They 138 00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:05,320 didn't like what he said, and so they said, guess what, ABC, 139 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,320 we are carrying your programming and we're going to stop 140 00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:15,399 carrying Jimmy Kimmel effective immediately. That was Next Star. Then 141 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,840 Sinclair said, yeah, me too. So now ABC found themselves 142 00:10:19,879 --> 00:10:24,559 in a real predicament. They had the heavy majority of 143 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:30,679 their stations saying we're not carrying Jimmy Kimmel. So ABC said, okay, 144 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,759 then we're canceling Jimmy Kimmel's program indefinitely. Then you get 145 00:10:36,799 --> 00:10:40,759 into the whole thing about people are yelling about free 146 00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:43,960 speech in this country. I've told you the other day 147 00:10:44,279 --> 00:10:49,399 about free speech. Free speech is the government cannot stop 148 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,159 you from saying whatever you want to say. But other 149 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,080 than the government, you can say something, but you may 150 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,159 be held accountable. If you say something that offend somebody 151 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,919 walking down the street, they may give you a knuckle sandwich. 152 00:11:04,799 --> 00:11:08,519 In the case of saying things that your employer doesn't like, 153 00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:12,559 they may give you a pink slip. You do not 154 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,919 have free speech at work. And for those of us 155 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:23,519 that have been in broadcasting, it's not a perfect line, 156 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,000 but we know about where the line is that we 157 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:32,320 should not cross because if we do, we might get 158 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:37,399 in trouble with our employer. And that is exactly what 159 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,679 has been happening with Jimmy Kimmel. Let me give you 160 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,519 another comment about Kimmel. One of the things that you 161 00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:47,480 know is that if you are out in the forest 162 00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:51,960 and you keep poking the bear, the bear is going 163 00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:57,159 to eat you. It just is. And Jimmy Kimmel doesn't 164 00:11:57,279 --> 00:12:01,840 like Donald Trump and the feeling's mutual. Donald Trump doesn't 165 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:07,720 like Jimmy Kimmel, and so he kept poking Trump. He's 166 00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:10,759 been making fun of him, he's been mocking him. I 167 00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:15,320 know he's a comedian. I actually I haven't seen Jimmy 168 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,759 Kimmel's program. I don't in the evening. I don't think 169 00:12:17,759 --> 00:12:21,279 I've ever seen a full program. I've only watched maybe 170 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,799 pieces of it two or three times. I just am 171 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,159 not up that late. My bedtime is before that. But 172 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,639 I will tell you when, back in the day, when 173 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,639 Jimmy Kimmel was on The Man Show, I thought he 174 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,120 was hilarious, thought he was a very funny guy. But 175 00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:41,039 he's fallen into the same trap that Colbert fell into, 176 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,240 which is, instead of taking an entertainment show that airs 177 00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:50,679 at eleven thirty at night, they've turned both of them 178 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:56,120 turned their shows into political political shows. And right away, 179 00:12:56,159 --> 00:13:00,159 you're going to lose half of your audience because half 180 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:05,600 your audience doesn't agree with you the other half. There's 181 00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:08,720 not that many that tune in every night. And I'm 182 00:13:08,759 --> 00:13:12,519 waiting to find out CBS was losing a fortune on 183 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,279 Colbert's show. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it 184 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,000 wasn't the same with Jimmy Kimmel. The ABC was losing 185 00:13:19,039 --> 00:13:22,559 a lot of money. But let's go back to the money. 186 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,559 You always follow the money. I've told you a million times. 187 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:31,320 The story behind this is well, Kimmel kept poking the bear, 188 00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:35,399 so it was just a matter of time. Let me 189 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,320 play for you what Kimmel said on his last show, 190 00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:46,559 and I don't know about you, but I wasn't shocked 191 00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:47,519 by what he said. 192 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 5: He hit some new lows over the weekend with the 193 00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:54,639 Maga gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered 194 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,360 Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and 195 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,440 everything they can to score a political points from it. 196 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,799 In between the finger pointing, there was grieving. On Friday, 197 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,240 the White House flew the flags at half staff, which 198 00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:12,360 got some criticism. 199 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was it. I mean, I from the fact 200 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,279 that ABC dumped him, I thought maybe he had come 201 00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:24,480 out and attacked Charlie Kirk or said Charlie Kirk was 202 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,240 a really bad guy, or was a fake hypocrite, or 203 00:14:27,279 --> 00:14:30,600 what some kind of name calling, But instead he was 204 00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:33,639 talking about the Maga crowd did not want to be 205 00:14:33,679 --> 00:14:37,799 associated with the killer and trying to pretend like they're 206 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,799 not part The guy was no more Mega than the 207 00:14:40,799 --> 00:14:41,559 Man in the Moon. 208 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,519 Speaker 2: But that was. 209 00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: Going into a territory of talking about Mega, talking about 210 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,919 Charlie Kirk, talking about the assassination, and that's all it took. 211 00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:57,039 And I think that was all that people, well, the 212 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,600 people at Next Star put out a statement about how 213 00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:04,159 it was offensive and insensitive, and that's why they said 214 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,120 they were no longer taking the show. And it was 215 00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:11,720 it was offensive and insensitive, and it was dumb on 216 00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:17,399 the part of Kimmel to even go into that area. 217 00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:20,320 You know, there's another show on ABC. It's on in 218 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,840 the morning. Used to be years ago, Regis and Kathy 219 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,200 Lee and then Regis Philbin and Kelly, and Kelly's gone 220 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,639 through a whole bunch of co hosts. She must be 221 00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:36,200 hard to get along with. I don't know, but her 222 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:41,039 current co host is her husband, Mark Well. Kelly and 223 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,639 Mark have been on ABC for a long time and 224 00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:47,720 they apparently are doing just fine. You know why, because 225 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,120 they talk about stupid stuff. They talk about silly business, 226 00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:59,960 they talk about husband's snoring. They don't go anywhere near politics. 227 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:07,639 They're trying to make their morning talk show entertaining. You 228 00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:10,000 want to listen to the King of late night talk 229 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:16,200 Johnny Carson. This was him telling sixty minutes after he 230 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,559 retired about what late night talk show should be. 231 00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:21,879 Speaker 6: Why do they think that just because you have it 232 00:16:21,879 --> 00:16:26,080 tonight's show, that you must deal in serious issues. It's 233 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,000 a danger, It's a real danger. Once you start that, 234 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,799 do you start to get that self important feeling that 235 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,960 what you say has great import and you know, strangely enough, 236 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,639 you could use that show as a form you could 237 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,080 sway people, And I don't think you should as an entertainment. 238 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, as an entertainer, And they've gotten away from entertaining. 239 00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:47,840 They think telling political jokes is funny. Well, some people 240 00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:49,919 on one side of the aisle probably think some of 241 00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:56,039 them are funny. But I, I don't know. I don't 242 00:16:56,039 --> 00:16:59,320 know where this is going to go. Will Jimmy fallon? 243 00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:02,559 And who's the other guy on late at night? Are 244 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,079 they the last of the Mohicans? I think the era 245 00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:09,039 of late night television is over because they did get 246 00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:11,960 away from something that you could at the end of 247 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,599 the day, when all of the troubles of the day 248 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,240 and you're settling down at night, or maybe even in 249 00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:22,559 bed and they made you laugh, they entertained you. But 250 00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:28,599 somehow along the line, everybody's all upset about about the 251 00:17:28,599 --> 00:17:32,720 fact that the companies actually want to have different type 252 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:39,160 of programming. But this is also dicey territory of ABC 253 00:17:39,319 --> 00:17:43,960 pulling that show. Did they do it for programming reasons? Maybe? 254 00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:48,480 But there's also always follow the money. There's always money involved, 255 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,960 and that is that Next Star wants to buy Tagna. 256 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,039 It's a multi billion dollar deal. It must get approval 257 00:17:58,079 --> 00:18:01,200 by the Federal Traige Commission, And the Federal Treak Commission 258 00:18:01,279 --> 00:18:04,160 is run by a guy named Brendan Carr who is 259 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,359 a heavy duty Republican guy, and he's trying to crack 260 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,240 down on these stations. So they need approval of Brendan 261 00:18:13,279 --> 00:18:17,039 Carr in the Federal Communication Commission. And so this is 262 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,039 obviously part of why ABC said let's just get rid 263 00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:26,039 of Kimmel. He's nothing but trouble. It's the say. I 264 00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:28,400 think there was a great part of why CBS got 265 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,039 rid of Cobert was they were trying to do a 266 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,920 multi billion dollar deal with sky Dance, who bought them. 267 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,079 It's so there's a lot of money involved between all 268 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,279 of this. Follow the money now I'll tell you this 269 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:48,119 is there was a book written back in I think 270 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:53,640 it was nineteen ninety one ken Aletta, and it's called 271 00:18:53,759 --> 00:18:57,279 Three Blind Mice. And what it's about is the three 272 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,079 mice that he wrote about were ABC in CBS, and 273 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,000 there was a big hubbub because of the fact that 274 00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:06,359 they were laying off some of the reporters. In nineteen 275 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:11,079 ninety one, that's when the peak of television had passed, 276 00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:14,400 and down it went from there and it's still going down. 277 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,960 But what he wrote about was that there were reporters 278 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,720 and anchors and all these other people you see on 279 00:19:21,799 --> 00:19:25,079 TV and behind the scenes were upset because of the 280 00:19:25,079 --> 00:19:29,440 Three Blind Mice. We're actually saying, we have to make money. 281 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,960 We're publicly traded companies, we have shareholders, and we can't 282 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,079 afford to just pay you whatever you want to get paid. 283 00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:41,680 So we're going to keep some highly paid people, but 284 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,680 we're going to trim the staff. And oh the squealing 285 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,400 led to the book by Ken Allet a Three Blind Mice, 286 00:19:50,319 --> 00:19:53,200 and it was the same arguments that's been going on 287 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,440 ever since. Why we're journalists, you can't do this to us. 288 00:19:56,519 --> 00:20:01,279 We have we're journalists and the company said, we're a company, 289 00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:05,599 a profit oriented company, we're not nonprofit, so sorry, see 290 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,319 you later, and a lot of those people went away, 291 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,960 and we've never seen him since. 292 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 2: So I. 293 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: Look at this. Let me just play this other cautionary 294 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,319 note though. David Slayne I believe is his name. He's 295 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:25,319 a political commentator over at CNN, and he makes a 296 00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:29,599 very interesting point as they were debating this whole issue 297 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,079 about Jimmy Kimmel this morning. 298 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 7: Well, there's no doubt it is a statement about a 299 00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:38,000 bigger thing. It is everything Brian just walked through about 300 00:20:38,599 --> 00:20:41,200 what he observed happened in Hungary and making comparisons here. 301 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,799 I mean that should concern anyone of any political stripe 302 00:20:44,839 --> 00:20:50,160 right because it gets to some fundamental foundational principles about 303 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,640 American democracy. I think you make such a good point, John, 304 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,559 though obviously private employers can do what they want. Why 305 00:20:57,599 --> 00:21:00,680 this is such a concern, why we're talking about it, 306 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,680 is because of this concerted government effort from the president 307 00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:11,200 on down to impose this chilling effect that that is 308 00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:15,240 not the norm. And by the way, if you are 309 00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:17,279 on the right right now and you champion this because 310 00:21:17,279 --> 00:21:20,960 you believe in what Donald Trump is doing in this regard, 311 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,559 just flip the script, because imagine when a Democrat is 312 00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:27,359 in office if they were to pursue this same kind 313 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,319 of strategy. Imagine what you would experience and what would 314 00:21:31,319 --> 00:21:34,279 you feel if you felt that voices that you believe 315 00:21:34,279 --> 00:21:37,519 should be heard were being chilled in silenced through government action. 316 00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: That's the point that I have made endlessly on this 317 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,759 program is flip the script. I think a lot of 318 00:21:43,799 --> 00:21:47,640 people play checkers, they don't play chess, and so could 319 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:52,400 you imagine I'm the next Democrat that occupies the White House? 320 00:21:52,839 --> 00:21:56,839 Will they go after Fox News? Will they go after 321 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:03,079 Wall Street Journal? Will they go after conservative voices? No 322 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,559 matter where do you want to go? The beauty of 323 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,920 podcast is we don't have a government license. I love it. 324 00:22:10,519 --> 00:22:14,799 But what Shelan was talking about was, yeah, can you 325 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,079 imagine Barack Obama? Well he did, he did. He did 326 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,880 call out Fox News. He said Fox News is not 327 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,799 a real news organization. That was as bold as it got. 328 00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:30,519 I don't know what Biden, I don't even know if 329 00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:32,720 he knew what he was doing. But in any case, 330 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,000 a Democrat president could could do the same thing and 331 00:22:37,079 --> 00:22:39,839 go after Fox News and go after some of the 332 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,920 people and their voices on conservative voices in this country. 333 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,240 And so I don't like that part of this is 334 00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:52,119 because it seems like it is checkers are not chess. 335 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,640 And I can't help but think that this is going 336 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,279 to come back to haunt people on the right the 337 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:03,160 next time you have a Democrat in the White House. 338 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,440 So while I'm on a rant about the government being 339 00:23:08,279 --> 00:23:13,559 I'm a small government guy. I'm a true conservative, small government, 340 00:23:14,079 --> 00:23:20,359 smaller taxes. And I saw Cash Patel, who I'm glad 341 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,079 he's the head of the FBI. He's doing a lot 342 00:23:23,079 --> 00:23:27,119 of wonderful things. But he was testifying yesterday. They were 343 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:33,000 asking about social media radicalizing people in this country, and 344 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,039 this is what he had to say, which gave me 345 00:23:36,759 --> 00:23:37,759 a lot upont. 346 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 8: We solve this by giving the FBI more authorities to 347 00:23:42,559 --> 00:23:45,319 go into and work with the private sector. There are 348 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,640 too many online platforms, there are too many social media platforms, 349 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,079 there are too many gaming platforms and infesting the minds 350 00:23:52,079 --> 00:23:55,599 of our children and infecting them with radical ideology. And 351 00:23:55,839 --> 00:23:58,559 that is the root cause of these problems, and we 352 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,680 must tackle it. Is not a nineteen fifties America anymore. 353 00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:06,720 In twenty twenty five, the cyber space needs to be tackles. 354 00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, just wait a minute, did the FBI, 355 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:16,200 not just during the Biden administration, get involved in tampering 356 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:23,160 with Twitter and censoring conservative voices and getting Yes, the 357 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,880 government was involved with social media telling them to censor 358 00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:32,160 conservative voices and this I'm sorry, but just because a 359 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,519 Republican or a conservative is leading the FBI, I think 360 00:24:35,559 --> 00:24:40,400 it's still wrong. The government needs to keep their mind 361 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,759 and their nose out of our business. Please. Here's Andy McCarthy, 362 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,880 who I believe is of the same thought that I am. 363 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,559 Speaker 9: Well, I think it would probably be better to begin 364 00:24:52,079 --> 00:24:55,960 with Congress rather than the FBI. You know, there's two 365 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,359 ways to take what Director Patel said. 366 00:24:58,839 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: One way is. 367 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,519 Speaker 9: To remember that it was during the Biden administration that 368 00:25:04,599 --> 00:25:08,720 the FBI and other government agencies worked with the tech 369 00:25:08,759 --> 00:25:14,039 platforms in a way that ended up suppressing constitutionally protected 370 00:25:14,039 --> 00:25:17,599 speech that should have been available to people but wasn't. 371 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,200 So there's always a slippery slope kind of danger if 372 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:26,160 you get a law enforcement agency together with you know, 373 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,039 these private platforms. What ends up happening is the platforms 374 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:36,519 can do speech suppression and other dicey things that the 375 00:25:36,559 --> 00:25:39,680 government wouldn't be able to do on its own. So 376 00:25:39,799 --> 00:25:43,240 I would be against the FBI being the sort of 377 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,839 point of the sphere for a very necessary investigation of 378 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,440 what is going on online and what things we ow 379 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,240 to be doing about it. That's kind of why God 380 00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:57,279 made Congress. Well, that's that's pretty typical of Congress. If 381 00:25:57,279 --> 00:26:00,039 somebody else can do it, if they can delegate it 382 00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:02,039 to somebody else, that's what they do, and then they 383 00:26:02,039 --> 00:26:04,200 go on TV to complain about how bad it is. 384 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,279 Speaker 1: Cash Hotel did go into the area about the fact 385 00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:13,400 that young people are being radicalized online. We went through 386 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,640 that with ISIS and all of that business. But now 387 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:23,200 this guy who is charged with assassinating Charlie Kirk, they're 388 00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:31,200 saying he was radicalized online, and how can the FBI, Well, 389 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,400 they're talking about they got to try to figure out 390 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,279 how to put their arms around this radicalization. 391 00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:40,759 Speaker 9: No, I think the problem is not just that it's 392 00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:45,400 kind of a dispersed entity. It's hard to get a 393 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,759 read on exactly what it is, as you just said, 394 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,200 But the bigger problem is to the extent that we're 395 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,720 worried about how it operates here. It's a domestic organization 396 00:26:54,319 --> 00:26:58,400 and Our law only provides for designations of foreign terrorist 397 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:03,240 organizations or what they call, you know, global terrorists, which 398 00:27:03,279 --> 00:27:07,599 means their activities have to be mostly international. And the 399 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,799 reason for that is we have plenty of laws on 400 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,160 the books in the United States to deal with domestic terrorism. 401 00:27:15,599 --> 00:27:20,039 I prosecuted terrorists operating in the United States before we 402 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,359 even had any of these laws. But when their international 403 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,079 Congress has to give the government some jurisdiction to do 404 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,079 the investigative things we need done. 405 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,319 Speaker 1: All right, let's check the email botch. We haven't done 406 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,119 this in quite a while. I got a nice email 407 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,680 from truck and per Mudge. And by the way, my 408 00:27:36,759 --> 00:27:41,960 email address is right on my website, Tom Sullivan dot com, 409 00:27:42,799 --> 00:27:45,720 and it has my web it has my email address, 410 00:27:45,759 --> 00:27:49,279 it has the link to my podcast if you want 411 00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:52,400 to send it to somebody or if you forget how 412 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:59,119 to find it. But Truckin says, what's McClintock's problem. Omar 413 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,640 should not just lose her committee assignments. Her citizenship should 414 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:09,160 be revoked, and she should be d e y. I'm 415 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,119 not sure what that means in any case. Talking about 416 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,799 four congressmen, one of them I believe is his own 417 00:28:15,839 --> 00:28:21,640 congressman who for Republicans who voted to protect Elon Omar 418 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,200 from being censured and stripped of her committee assignments for 419 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,640 making and for making fun of Charlie Kirk's assassination. So 420 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,000 the four of Republicans who said, no, we're not going 421 00:28:34,039 --> 00:28:36,079 to strip her of her committee assignments, We're not going 422 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:43,480 to censure her. Tom McClintock, Congressman Mike Flood, Jeff Hurd, 423 00:28:44,039 --> 00:28:50,480 and Congressman Mills. So those are the four that said, no, 424 00:28:50,519 --> 00:28:54,440 we're not going to punish Omar for making fun of 425 00:28:54,559 --> 00:29:03,880 Charlie Kirk's assassination. Wild This one I got from Dan 426 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:10,079 Lithgow sent me a photo of Charlie Kirk, and I said, insanity. 427 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,720 Thinking is wrong to lose your job because of what 428 00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:20,039 you said. But what you said was Charlie should lose 429 00:29:20,079 --> 00:29:24,079 his life for what he said. Think about that for 430 00:29:24,119 --> 00:29:27,720 a minute. Dan went on to talk about the He says, 431 00:29:27,759 --> 00:29:30,279 I have no problem with the doctor in New Jersey 432 00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:35,079 being fired since he violated the Hippocratic oath. You can't 433 00:29:35,119 --> 00:29:38,799 really defend making fun of someone who dies when others 434 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,680 in your profession swear I will hold the utmost respect 435 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,119 for every human life from fertilization to natural death. The 436 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,559 sad thing this doctor and most medical doctors today don't 437 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,680 even have to take the oath anymore, and most institutions 438 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,119 don't require it. Our medical institutions would be better today 439 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,559 if doctors were required to take the o I did 440 00:30:00,599 --> 00:30:03,480 not know they did not need to, he says. When 441 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,640 I was in the Navy nineteen ninety three, the Navy 442 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,559 instituted the Sailor's Creed, and I believed it helped to 443 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,319 create a common core values for what it meant to 444 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:22,880 be a sailor. That's from Dan Eaglestorm, says. Full aerial 445 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,319 shot of the huge crowd at the London Bridge, United 446 00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:30,119 March this past weekend. It's a Facebook reel, but it's 447 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,240 the only place I could find video enough evidence of 448 00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:36,000 the entire crowd in its full length. Yeah, they have, 449 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,720 I mean, the President's over there and they're having these 450 00:30:38,759 --> 00:30:44,480 wonderful diplomatic meeting. Did you see the state dinner at 451 00:30:44,519 --> 00:30:48,400 Windsor Castle. I swear I tried to count. I think 452 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:53,279 there was about one hundred people at this one long, 453 00:30:53,799 --> 00:30:58,559 giant dinner table. Now, how could you talk to the 454 00:30:58,599 --> 00:31:00,160 people at the other end of the table. We have 455 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:05,000 a let alone ten feet away. Anyway, it was it 456 00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:08,400 was unbelievable. Yeah, Rupert Murdoch was there. I wonder what 457 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,559 he was doing there. There are a bunch of people 458 00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:17,559 there anyway. Back to Eaglestorm, Yeah, the crowd that they're 459 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,400 getting a real pushback in Great Britain about the immigrants 460 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,440 that have flooded into that country, and according to everybody 461 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,559 I've talked to, have changed the culture of Great Britain. 462 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,960 So if you want to go visit jolly old England, 463 00:31:34,039 --> 00:31:38,759 it's not there anymore, apparently. And here's when from John 464 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,960 l He says, why doesn't the Department of Justice just 465 00:31:43,079 --> 00:31:47,000 invalidate all of the signatures by Biden for the past, say, 466 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,720 three months or six months of his presidency unless it 467 00:31:50,759 --> 00:31:52,720 can be proven that he signed them with his own hands. 468 00:31:52,759 --> 00:31:55,319 It's fairly easy to prove it was done by a 469 00:31:55,359 --> 00:32:02,079 machine or done by a person. I hate to say it, John, 470 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:07,319 but I don't think anything's going to happen out of that. Well, 471 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,359 here's an email from Floyd Lloyd Alexander. He responded to 472 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,759 a question I asked you in the audience just a 473 00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:18,599 couple of days ago. I was asking about can Turning 474 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:24,319 Point usay survive without Charlie Kirk? And I likened it too, 475 00:32:26,039 --> 00:32:34,880 Rush Limbaugh, Now, Rush, dear friend, an amazing talent. Nobody 476 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,359 could fill his shoes, and the guys who kind of 477 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,000 took over part of his shoes. A lot of the 478 00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:45,480 stations don't take it. Their ratings are not anywhere. Nobody's 479 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:50,400 in Russia's league, nobody was, nobody is. So I look 480 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,440 at that and I go, that's because of he was 481 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,880 one of a kind. And I think Charlie Kirk in 482 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:03,799 that same paragraph one of a kind. I don't think 483 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:09,279 you can get other people to run this organization any case. 484 00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:11,960 So Floyd tends me this email and he says, just 485 00:33:12,039 --> 00:33:15,359 catching up with the week and listen to your Tuesday show. 486 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,160 You asked if the audience thought Turning Point USA would continue. 487 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,440 Hard to know, however, I will say this, before he 488 00:33:23,519 --> 00:33:27,079 was murdered, I didn't know who Charlie Kirk was. I've 489 00:33:27,119 --> 00:33:31,240 seen occasional mentions of Turning Point USA, but being tired 490 00:33:31,279 --> 00:33:34,000 of politics, assumed that that was what it was about 491 00:33:34,039 --> 00:33:37,079 and never checked into it. All of a sudden, the 492 00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:39,960 people I work with, my children, the news, everyone's talking 493 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,680 about Charlie, both good and bad, made me want to 494 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,480 actually listen to him and decide for myself if he 495 00:33:46,599 --> 00:33:50,759 was a good guy or a bad guy. Eyes opened here. 496 00:33:51,599 --> 00:33:55,000 I imagine there are people such as myself who are 497 00:33:55,039 --> 00:33:59,519 discovering Charlie Kirk and his movement after his death, who 498 00:33:59,559 --> 00:34:05,039 would have never bade much attention before his movement might 499 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:09,639 actually grow. I certainly admire his mission and his courage. 500 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,280 It's sad that he has gone, and just awful that 501 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,599 political violence has claimed another victim. I do hope the 502 00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:20,480 others will take up his quest to restore the civil 503 00:34:20,559 --> 00:34:23,920 exchange of ideas. I missed the old days when we 504 00:34:24,039 --> 00:34:26,760 used to do that. Maybe the teens and college kids 505 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,559 will see the terrible road that we're slipping down and 506 00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:33,840 make a change for the good we sure needed. Go kids. 507 00:34:34,519 --> 00:34:36,760 All the best to you, Tom. We missed the radio show, 508 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,280 but enjoy your podcast. Thanks for keeping that up. Hope 509 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:48,599 you're enjoying semi retirement. Yeah that's from well, it says Floyd, 510 00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:52,559 but then signed by I guess by Debbie, Floyd's wife, 511 00:34:53,079 --> 00:34:58,039 longtime listener. Thank you, Debbie. Yeah, we'll see. I don't 512 00:34:58,079 --> 00:34:59,760 know if there's anybody that's going to be able to 513 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,000 keep live is going to take one personality. He's got 514 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,360 a lot of good people around him, just like Russia 515 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,840 had a lot of good people around him, but they're 516 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,760 not him. The only one that might come close, and 517 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,880 we'll see how she does, is his widow, Erica, And 518 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:23,599 I hope and pray the most success for her for 519 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,599 turning Point USA. For the people that work there that 520 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:34,519 were loyal supporters of Charlie oh speaking, and I really do. 521 00:35:34,599 --> 00:35:36,559 I hope that they are very successful, and I hope 522 00:35:36,559 --> 00:35:42,480 they keep it going. I'm just cynical, that's all. We'll see. 523 00:35:42,639 --> 00:35:45,320 I'm not counting them in or out. I'm just going 524 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,679 to let the calendar pages fly by. So then I 525 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:54,159 got a notice today from CBS Radio about what the 526 00:35:54,360 --> 00:36:01,000 plan is for Sunday for Charlie Kirk's memorial. When they 527 00:36:01,079 --> 00:36:04,480 say memorial, I presume that will be a I don't 528 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,840 even know if if the cask is going to be there. 529 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,480 They may have already buried him somewhere. Maybe he'll be there. 530 00:36:11,519 --> 00:36:14,760 It's anyway, It's in Glendale at the NFL Stadium. There 531 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:19,079 whole sixty five thousand people, says. The program is expected 532 00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:23,880 to begin at two o'clock Eastern time for planning purposes. 533 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,960 The program is expected to be about three hours, but 534 00:36:27,039 --> 00:36:32,559 could be longer. The speakers at his memorial. You know 535 00:36:32,639 --> 00:36:35,199 how I go off on a rant about keep the 536 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,760 politicians away from tragedies instead of them coming out and 537 00:36:40,039 --> 00:36:44,239 lecturing about whatever they want to lecture about. Well, guess 538 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,840 what the program is. It says the speakers will be 539 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:53,400 the President Donald Trump, the Vice President JD. Vance. I 540 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:59,599 get that, Charlie Kirk's widow, Erica, I get that. Then 541 00:36:59,639 --> 00:37:03,440 it goes on, these are the speakers, White House Chief 542 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:10,880 of Staff Susie Wiles. Why, Secretary Marco Rubio? Why?

Why? 544 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:25,159 And the Director of National Intelligence Tulci Gabbard. There was 545 00:37:25,159 --> 00:37:27,239 somebody else that was on the list earlier that they 546 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,679 took off. But I'm going it's going to be a 547 00:37:29,679 --> 00:37:33,559 bunch of politicians getting up there. Why don't they? Why 548 00:37:33,559 --> 00:37:37,679 don't they just But I know charge I know that 549 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,760 Jadie Vans and Charlie were friends. That should be it, 550 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:46,920 along with his widow and maybe another personal friend of 551 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:53,920 his that really knew him. So that's Sunday in the 552 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,639 afternoon and before we but before we get out of here, 553 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,199 let me just I got a couple of phone call 554 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,119 that I do want to play for you. Let's start 555 00:38:04,119 --> 00:38:08,760 with this guy who is obviously not a fan, but 556 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,440 we include everybody here. 557 00:38:11,519 --> 00:38:14,559 Speaker 10: Hold on, I'm just winning and Tom, I listened to 558 00:38:14,639 --> 00:38:17,320 you for a while. But why ain't kill me fire? 559 00:38:18,559 --> 00:38:21,960 Are you racist? Stick together or what I mean? Come on, man, 560 00:38:22,599 --> 00:38:25,440 you guys have bought Donald Trump hook line and sinker. 561 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,800 Speaker 11: Thank you, bye bye. 562 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,760 Speaker 1: Well, he's bringing up Brian Kilmea said something on the 563 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,599 air the other day, something to the event. I didn't 564 00:38:35,599 --> 00:38:38,719 hear it. I saw the story about it, that they 565 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,480 should just exterminate or kill or do something with homeless, 566 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:48,719 and he apologized profusely for it later. I actually I'm 567 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,599 surprised that they did not take some action and suspend 568 00:38:52,679 --> 00:38:55,840 him for some length of time. It wasn't the right 569 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,280 thing to say, and he knew it. But the caller 570 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,360 also has some other complaining to do. Let's let's get 571 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:02,719 this in. 572 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 11: I had to call you again because you guys taught 573 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,559 this Christian stuff for I don't think there's a real 574 00:39:11,679 --> 00:39:15,119 Christian amongst you. 575 00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 12: You're all here. Donald tells you, you guys are false prophet. 576 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:27,159 Come on Tom later, you've gone off the deep end. Tom, 577 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,039 good luck to you when you meet God. 578 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: What everybody's got a different view. He thinks that there's 579 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,159 not a Christian among us, And good luck to wish 580 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,119 me good luck when I meet God. Thank you. I 581 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,239 need all the support I can get. You sound like 582 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,159 a kind of a grouchy old guy, but I thought 583 00:39:46,199 --> 00:39:49,360 i'd play it for just grins. But we can we 584 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,440 can do better than that. Here's Laurie the comment line. 585 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 2: Lady, something very important I've noticed in the aftermath of 586 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:02,760 Charlie Kirk's assassination. Is there there haven't been any riots. 587 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:08,159 No one is burning police cars or looting stores or 588 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,679 going out in mobs to cause trouble. 589 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:12,119 Speaker 10: Yeah. 590 00:40:12,119 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 1: I've noticed that too. Everybody. In fact, everybody seems to 591 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:20,039 be sad. It's been a very sad a couple of 592 00:40:20,079 --> 00:40:23,760 weeks in this country. I feel it. I just feel 593 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,159 it in my bones. All right, Wall Street, Let's see 594 00:40:27,159 --> 00:40:30,519 if we can find something positive there, and lo and behold, 595 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,119 we have a positive doo Dow was up one hundred 596 00:40:35,159 --> 00:40:40,119 and twenty for the dow at forty six two, the 597 00:40:40,199 --> 00:40:43,119 s and p UP thirty one, the Nasdaq up two 598 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:48,000 hundred and nine. Big news of for Intel because of 599 00:40:48,039 --> 00:40:52,159 the fact that Nvidia is going to invest five billion 600 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:59,159 dollars in Intel. So it's there's another whole story on that. 601 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,480 I think a lot of it is they really just 602 00:41:02,519 --> 00:41:07,480 want to make good, good vibes with the president and 603 00:41:07,519 --> 00:41:10,360 the government wanting people to invest here in the US, 604 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,320 and so that's what they did. Five billion. But the 605 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,679 next five years I think they get five hundred billion 606 00:41:16,159 --> 00:41:19,119 in revenue, So they're not putting it sounds like a 607 00:41:19,199 --> 00:41:22,000 lot of money, but they're not putting huge amounts of 608 00:41:22,039 --> 00:41:25,559 their money into Intel. But good for Intel, and the 609 00:41:25,599 --> 00:41:31,480 Intel stock rallied today as well. Stock was up twenty 610 00:41:31,559 --> 00:41:36,079 three percent today YEP a twenty three percent jump for 611 00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:40,360 Intel because of the investment by Nvidio. What else do 612 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,239 we have on the market today, Yes, we've got also 613 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,920 besides the doubt one twenty four s and p UP 614 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,000 thirty one, Nasdaq up to nine, Gold fell thirty nine 615 00:41:50,079 --> 00:41:54,519 dollars to thirty six seventy eight, and oil down forty 616 00:41:54,599 --> 00:41:58,119 cents down to sixty three dollars and some change for 617 00:41:58,159 --> 00:42:01,400 one barrel of oil. Thank you for coming by today. 618 00:42:01,679 --> 00:42:05,519 Hope you have a wonderful rest of your day. Tomorrow's Friday, Yay, 619 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:06,599 we'll see you then
