00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:09.640
<v Speaker 1>This is the seventy seven WABC Mini.

2
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 2>Castro, which says, in part, he was an organizer, a fighter,

3
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.839
<v Speaker 2>and endors as a stalwart symbol of anti imperialist struggle

4
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:19.160
<v Speaker 2>and self determination for the like, what is this?

5
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:19.600
<v Speaker 1>What is this?

6
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 2>It's true, It's objectively true. It is objectively true. I'm

7
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Speaker 2>sick and tired of Americans and media just being like.

8
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 1>Fido Castro sucks. He was a buncher, he was a murderer.

9
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Shut the up, dude. Fido Castro and Chagavara were lions. Okay,

10
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 2>they were lions. I'm sorry that you don't have the

11
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 2>adequate history lesson to understand that. And as an American

12
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to pull your head out of your

13
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.640
<v Speaker 2>ass and understand why the rest of the planet refers

14
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.799
<v Speaker 2>to Fido Castro and Chagavara as very differently than.

15
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>We do here.

16
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 2>It is so delusional, It's so ridiculous.

17
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I just, oh god, this makes me so.

18
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:12.239
<v Speaker 3>Mad that my friends is the face of the Democrat Party.

19
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 3>He should just be We should just start calling him

20
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 3>the spokesman of the Democrat Party. Hassan Piker official unofficial

21
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 3>spokesman of the Democrat Party. Again giving us Americans insult

22
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 3>after insult to declare, we don't know what we're talking about.

23
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 3>No Fidel Castro, who left Cuba a wreck that is

24
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 3>still an ongoing moving train wreck of a country.

25
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Chay Gavara.

26
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 3>Oh, they're lions, and you stupid Americans don't know history

27
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.959
<v Speaker 3>well enough to understand that these communists that ran Cuba

28
00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:00.200
<v Speaker 3>into the ground were horrific people. Oh, by the way,

29
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:07.200
<v Speaker 3>primary elections today, we'll get into that. Florita is Floodita's

30
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:11.240
<v Speaker 3>turned to deal with the young socialists. Their spokesman, the

31
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:15.719
<v Speaker 3>spokesman for the Democrat unofficial spokesman, Hassan Piker, has weighed

32
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:21.360
<v Speaker 3>on that too, in the race that Congresswoman Debbie Washerman

33
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 3>Schultz is facing in a newly drawn district in Florida.

34
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.879
<v Speaker 3>So many other things to discuss on. This is a

35
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Tuesday edition of Boston Nerdlies Russia, our fastest hour in

36
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 3>American media. Got word, Thank you, Darren. Darren always hooks

37
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 3>me up with information that comes through that I don't see,

38
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 3>And this I didn't see. I guess it was just

39
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 3>announced right before the program. Frank Beard passed away. Zizi

40
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 3>Top's founding drummer seventy seven years old. Frank Beard the

41
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 3>only one of zz tops that didn't have a beard.

42
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Ironically, yes.

43
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.439
<v Speaker 3>For a beard of zz Top has passed away at

44
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 3>age seventy seven. Let us where to start. There's a

45
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 3>lot going on. Let me just go through a few

46
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 3>headlines really quickly before we delve into today's SoundBite. ABC

47
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:25.120
<v Speaker 3>Television Network Disney Mickey Mouse is suing the Trump administration

48
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 3>over the threats against their broadcast license. They filed a

49
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:38.240
<v Speaker 3>First Amendment lawsuit against the FCC, claiming that the FCC

50
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 3>is heading up a retaliatory campaign on ABC Television. The

51
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 3>lawsuit was filed in federal court in Washington, d C. Disney,

52
00:03:53.719 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 3>the Mouse, the Rodent Kingdom says that ABC the campaign

53
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:06.080
<v Speaker 3>against them has been building over the course of the

54
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:15.400
<v Speaker 3>administration's second term. It began in earnest, when, the lawsuit says,

55
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 3>when the administration installed a chairman who had promised to

56
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 3>aggressively advance the agenda, and built steadily to the president

57
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.519
<v Speaker 3>inflection point where the Commission demanded the station's apply for

58
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 3>license renewal years in advance, which is which they can

59
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 3>do legally. They said that the administration's threats to the

60
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:45.879
<v Speaker 3>station's licenses are neither new nor off the cuff, adding

61
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 3>that President Donald Trump has long criticized the content of

62
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 3>ABC's news coverage and has repeatedly floated the revocation of

63
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.360
<v Speaker 3>the broadcast license as a means of punishing ABC for

64
00:04:58.480 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 3>its speech.

65
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, Well, I will answer that briefly.

66
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:08.360
<v Speaker 3>The Commission has demanded a review of the station's licenses

67
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 3>extraordinarily early.

68
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 1>For all but two of the stations.

69
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.959
<v Speaker 3>This early review comes before their current license terms that

70
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 3>have even reached the half way point, and years before

71
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 3>the Commission is statutorily authorized to grant renewal. They can

72
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:28.639
<v Speaker 3>look at a license at any point, a FCC spokesperson

73
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 3>told the DCNF. That's the Daily Callers News Foundation and

74
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 3>the statement that all broadcasters have a legal obligation to

75
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:42.879
<v Speaker 3>operate in the public interest, even the Mouse, even Disney.

76
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:48.360
<v Speaker 3>The FCC has been examining claims that Disney engaged in

77
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:55.800
<v Speaker 3>illegal DEI discrimination for over a year. Disney is obviously

78
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 3>very concerned about the FCC's proceedings, as evidence by their

79
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 3>ongoing campaign of disinformation as well as their decision to

80
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:08.000
<v Speaker 3>ask a court to stop the FEC from pursuing matters

81
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 3>the FCC will continue to follow the facts and the

82
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 3>law wherever they lead.

83
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Now, let me just say this about all of that.

84
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>These are public airways.

85
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 3>We're talking about ABC Television Network. Like them, hate them, whatever,

86
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 3>that's up to people, But one thing for sure, they're

87
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 3>supposed to serve all of the public, not just the

88
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:37.600
<v Speaker 3>liberal public. And I think that if you look at

89
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.800
<v Speaker 3>their programming, one would question if that's what they want

90
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 3>to do. You look at the areas that they delve

91
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:49.199
<v Speaker 3>into political matters in hopes of swaying political opinions. They

92
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:52.920
<v Speaker 3>do not service the public. They service a point of

93
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.439
<v Speaker 3>view of the public. You have a Clinton hack who

94
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 3>is the face of their news that would be George Stephanie.

95
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.399
<v Speaker 3>You have this Timmel person who does what he does,

96
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.120
<v Speaker 3>and then you have the rest of it to view

97
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 3>claims they're some kind of news program that's unbiased, and

98
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.399
<v Speaker 3>we all know that that's complete hogwash just from what

99
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.519
<v Speaker 3>is said on the program. So yeah, they're being reviewed,

100
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.720
<v Speaker 3>and I would hope that at the end of the review,

101
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 3>perhaps ABC has like.

102
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 1>They own it.

103
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.519
<v Speaker 3>They they own the public airwaves. We own this. We

104
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 3>don't have to answer anybody. These liberal television networks it's

105
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.920
<v Speaker 3>okay for us to be as openly biased and hateful

106
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:44.319
<v Speaker 3>of the half of the country that we don't agree with,

107
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.439
<v Speaker 3>and we've been doing this for so long that you're

108
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 3>not going to stop us. Well, they need to face

109
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:56.360
<v Speaker 3>review as well. I'm not suggesting which way it go.

110
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.480
<v Speaker 3>If the evidence says that they have a right to

111
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 3>the public airwaves, still that they have done what is

112
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.639
<v Speaker 3>required to fulfill their requirements, and by all means, let

113
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 3>them continue. But if the evidence shows otherwise, they should

114
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.279
<v Speaker 3>not believe that they have impunity to ignore the Charter,

115
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 3>the mandate from the FCC, which is that they serve

116
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:25.439
<v Speaker 3>in the public interest over public airwaves, not just for liberals,

117
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.079
<v Speaker 3>progressives and socialists.
