Speaker 1: This is the seventy seven WABC Mini.
Speaker 2: Castro, which says, in part, he was an organizer, a fighter,
Speaker 2: and endors as a stalwart symbol of anti imperialist struggle
Speaker 2: and self determination for the like, what is this?
Speaker 1: What is this?
Speaker 2: It's true, It's objectively true. It is objectively true. I'm
Speaker 2: sick and tired of Americans and media just being like.
Speaker 1: Fido Castro sucks. He was a buncher, he was a murderer.
Speaker 2: Shut the up, dude. Fido Castro and Chagavara were lions. Okay,
Speaker 2: they were lions. I'm sorry that you don't have the
Speaker 2: adequate history lesson to understand that. And as an American
Speaker 2: you don't want to pull your head out of your
Speaker 2: ass and understand why the rest of the planet refers
Speaker 2: to Fido Castro and Chagavara as very differently than.
Speaker 1: We do here.
Speaker 2: It is so delusional, It's so ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I just, oh god, this makes me so.
Speaker 3: Mad that my friends is the face of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 3: He should just be We should just start calling him
Speaker 3: the spokesman of the Democrat Party. Hassan Piker official unofficial
Speaker 3: spokesman of the Democrat Party. Again giving us Americans insult
Speaker 3: after insult to declare, we don't know what we're talking about.
Speaker 3: No Fidel Castro, who left Cuba a wreck that is
Speaker 3: still an ongoing moving train wreck of a country.
Speaker 1: Chay Gavara.
Speaker 3: Oh, they're lions, and you stupid Americans don't know history
Speaker 3: well enough to understand that these communists that ran Cuba
Speaker 3: into the ground were horrific people. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 3: primary elections today, we'll get into that. Florita is Floodita's
Speaker 3: turned to deal with the young socialists. Their spokesman, the
Speaker 3: spokesman for the Democrat unofficial spokesman, Hassan Piker, has weighed
Speaker 3: on that too, in the race that Congresswoman Debbie Washerman
Speaker 3: Schultz is facing in a newly drawn district in Florida.
Speaker 3: So many other things to discuss on. This is a
Speaker 3: Tuesday edition of Boston Nerdlies Russia, our fastest hour in
Speaker 3: American media. Got word, Thank you, Darren. Darren always hooks
Speaker 3: me up with information that comes through that I don't see,
Speaker 3: And this I didn't see. I guess it was just
Speaker 3: announced right before the program. Frank Beard passed away. Zizi
Speaker 3: Top's founding drummer seventy seven years old. Frank Beard the
Speaker 3: only one of zz tops that didn't have a beard.
Speaker 1: Ironically, yes.
Speaker 3: For a beard of zz Top has passed away at
Speaker 3: age seventy seven. Let us where to start. There's a
Speaker 3: lot going on. Let me just go through a few
Speaker 3: headlines really quickly before we delve into today's SoundBite. ABC
Speaker 3: Television Network Disney Mickey Mouse is suing the Trump administration
Speaker 3: over the threats against their broadcast license. They filed a
Speaker 3: First Amendment lawsuit against the FCC, claiming that the FCC
Speaker 3: is heading up a retaliatory campaign on ABC Television. The
Speaker 3: lawsuit was filed in federal court in Washington, d C. Disney,
Speaker 3: the Mouse, the Rodent Kingdom says that ABC the campaign
Speaker 3: against them has been building over the course of the
Speaker 3: administration's second term. It began in earnest, when, the lawsuit says,
Speaker 3: when the administration installed a chairman who had promised to
Speaker 3: aggressively advance the agenda, and built steadily to the president
Speaker 3: inflection point where the Commission demanded the station's apply for
Speaker 3: license renewal years in advance, which is which they can
Speaker 3: do legally. They said that the administration's threats to the
Speaker 3: station's licenses are neither new nor off the cuff, adding
Speaker 3: that President Donald Trump has long criticized the content of
Speaker 3: ABC's news coverage and has repeatedly floated the revocation of
Speaker 3: the broadcast license as a means of punishing ABC for
Speaker 3: its speech.
Speaker 1: Well, no, Well, I will answer that briefly.
Speaker 3: The Commission has demanded a review of the station's licenses
Speaker 3: extraordinarily early.
Speaker 1: For all but two of the stations.
Speaker 3: This early review comes before their current license terms that
Speaker 3: have even reached the half way point, and years before
Speaker 3: the Commission is statutorily authorized to grant renewal. They can
Speaker 3: look at a license at any point, a FCC spokesperson
Speaker 3: told the DCNF. That's the Daily Callers News Foundation and
Speaker 3: the statement that all broadcasters have a legal obligation to
Speaker 3: operate in the public interest, even the Mouse, even Disney.
Speaker 3: The FCC has been examining claims that Disney engaged in
Speaker 3: illegal DEI discrimination for over a year. Disney is obviously
Speaker 3: very concerned about the FCC's proceedings, as evidence by their
Speaker 3: ongoing campaign of disinformation as well as their decision to
Speaker 3: ask a court to stop the FEC from pursuing matters
Speaker 3: the FCC will continue to follow the facts and the
Speaker 3: law wherever they lead.
Speaker 1: Now, let me just say this about all of that.
Speaker 1: These are public airways.
Speaker 3: We're talking about ABC Television Network. Like them, hate them, whatever,
Speaker 3: that's up to people, But one thing for sure, they're
Speaker 3: supposed to serve all of the public, not just the
Speaker 3: liberal public. And I think that if you look at
Speaker 3: their programming, one would question if that's what they want
Speaker 3: to do. You look at the areas that they delve
Speaker 3: into political matters in hopes of swaying political opinions. They
Speaker 3: do not service the public. They service a point of
Speaker 3: view of the public. You have a Clinton hack who
Speaker 3: is the face of their news that would be George Stephanie.
Speaker 3: You have this Timmel person who does what he does,
Speaker 3: and then you have the rest of it to view
Speaker 3: claims they're some kind of news program that's unbiased, and
Speaker 3: we all know that that's complete hogwash just from what
Speaker 3: is said on the program. So yeah, they're being reviewed,
Speaker 3: and I would hope that at the end of the review,
Speaker 3: perhaps ABC has like.
Speaker 1: They own it.
Speaker 3: They they own the public airwaves. We own this. We
Speaker 3: don't have to answer anybody. These liberal television networks it's
Speaker 3: okay for us to be as openly biased and hateful
Speaker 3: of the half of the country that we don't agree with,
Speaker 3: and we've been doing this for so long that you're
Speaker 3: not going to stop us. Well, they need to face
Speaker 3: review as well. I'm not suggesting which way it go.
Speaker 3: If the evidence says that they have a right to
Speaker 3: the public airwaves, still that they have done what is
Speaker 3: required to fulfill their requirements, and by all means, let
Speaker 3: them continue. But if the evidence shows otherwise, they should
Speaker 3: not believe that they have impunity to ignore the Charter,
Speaker 3: the mandate from the FCC, which is that they serve
Speaker 3: in the public interest over public airwaves, not just for liberals,
Speaker 3: progressives and socialists.
