Government is 39 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:29.919 the problem. The nine most terrifying words in the English 40 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.520 language are I'm from the government and I'm here to help. 41 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.479 We have come together here because the American people deserve 42 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.719 better from those as to whom. 43 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.759 They entrust our nation's highest offices. 44 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.680 We stand united, and I resolved to do something about it. 45 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.439 You tuned into right Side Radio. 46 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:41.639 Alright, folks, happy new year, and you have found it 47 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.879 the first episode of twenty twenty six. My goodness, how 48 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.360 hard is that going to be able to say the 49 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.839 first couple of weeks to move away from twenty twenty 50 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:59.079 five and into the new year of twenty twenty six. 51 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.759 I'm your ho Jack Fairchild's. This episode is actually being 52 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:07.319 recorded on Wednesday, December the thirty first, twenty twenty five, 53 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.360 but I'm going to release this at midnight Central Standard 54 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:17.680 time tonight, so anyone listening to this, it will officially 55 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.639 be twenty twenty six when you hear it. But I 56 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.600 want to put that disclaimer in there just in case 57 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:29.160 something crazy happens tonight and you're wondering why it's not 58 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.480 a part of this show. The show's being recorded December 59 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.600 thirty first. Of course, if something outrageous happens that it 60 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.439 warrants us coming back on the airwaves, you know, I will. 61 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.519 You know, that's just one of those things that we 62 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.600 do every single time. But remember, if you don't want 63 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.959 to miss an episode of the Right Side Radio Show, 64 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.519 remember to liken subscribe to us on your podcatcher of choice. 65 00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:00.680 We're on Apple Podcast iHeartRadio, Spotify, Speaker, Ammazon on Music, 66 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:05.040 and many many more, So please make it a point 67 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.639 to subscribe and never miss an episode of The Right 68 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.959 Side Radio Show. Again, a couple of things I want 69 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.839 to get into before we get into the meat of 70 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:20.360 today's show. First, keep an eye on the Midnight Ride. 71 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:25.399 There might be some new things happening soon, so keep 72 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:27.759 a close out on what's going on over at the 73 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:32.600 Midnight Rides YouTube page. Make a b line to see 74 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:36.000 I don't know if the website will be updated, but 75 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:40.959 there's there's going to be some potential announcements coming up 76 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:45.439 really really soon in twenty twenty six, so make sure 77 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.920 that you're paying attention to that. Maybe maybe the Right 78 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:54.000 Side and Chris McDaniels America maybe getting some some new 79 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:59.279 faces on the network alongside us, So stay tuned. You know, 80 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.360 nothing to announce yet. That, my friends, is what we 81 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:07.240 call a teaser, so just stay tuned, and once we 82 00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:09.560 have something to announce, I'm sure we'll announce it right 83 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:13.000 here on the Right Side Radio Show. Still toying with 84 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:18.399 the idea of running video on the Right Side. I 85 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.480 just really enjoy the audio side, and I do video 86 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:26.120 on so many other shows that part of what I 87 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.680 enjoy about the right side is I just jump in 88 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.800 front of the microphone, go and record. I don't have 89 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:33.959 to make sure my hair is right. I don't have 90 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:38.439 to make sure that certain things are done in a 91 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:43.160 manner of professionalism because you can't see me, you know, 92 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:47.399 I can just talk. And that's one of the reels 93 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:52.560 I have of doing this show. But again, looking forward 94 00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:57.839 to carrying on here in twenty twenty six. Now, I 95 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.959 don't want to get too deep into the woods when 96 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:04.959 it comes to this particular episode, but what I did 97 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:09.000 think would be fun would be to look back at 98 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.279 the year that was. Let's look back at twenty twenty five, 99 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:17.079 and CBS News put out top news headlines of twenty 100 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:21.040 twenty five month by month. I also have one from 101 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:25.319 ABC News where it says the US stories everyone was 102 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:30.240 talking about in twenty twenty five this particular episode, this 103 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:34.960 particular article on CBS News was written by Jane Polly, 104 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.039 and I thought it'd be fun. We can look back 105 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.240 and see what she thinks was the top stories month 106 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.000 by month, and we'll look back and see if we 107 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:48.240 agree or disagree. And of course in January, I think 108 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:53.399 it's hard pressed to disagree with what she chose, which 109 00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:57.200 was Donald Trump being inaugurated as the forty seventh President 110 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:02.159 of the United States, becoming just the second person ever 111 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:07.519 elected to non consecutive terms. It was a big moment, 112 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.440 and I think it was the defining moment of January. 113 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:15.120 So it's kind of hard to disagree with Jane on 114 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:20.039 this particular one because based on how twenty twenty four 115 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:28.000 was dominated by the election and Trump's resounding victory, it 116 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:32.399 has it was definitely the thing that everybody was keeping 117 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:35.919 close the eyes on to see exactly how things were 118 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:40.080 going to play out. And of course Trump dominated a 119 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:44.000 lot of the headlines throughout twenty twenty five, and we'll 120 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.159 talk more about that, I'm sure as we go on. 121 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.399 Then we get to February, where her top story in 122 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.360 February was the Philadelphia Eagles winning the Super Bowl by 123 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.639 defeating the Kansas City Chiefs forty to twenty two, denying 124 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.360 the Kansas City Chiefs a three pet I'm trying hard 125 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:08.399 to think back to February to see what other stories 126 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.720 could have topped the Super Bowl because to me, that 127 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:18.240 just that didn't really speak to me. So I just 128 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:23.519 I'm not sure about that one. Maybe it's because I'm 129 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:27.480 not a Philadelphia Eagles fan. It was nice to see 130 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:36.240 the Chiefs take a loss, but outside of that, it 131 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:42.080 just did not that That really seems like if that 132 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:47.519 was the top story, that February must have been an old, 133 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.519 a slow news mode. But of course I think that 134 00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:55.200 when you talk about looming tariffs threatened, I think that 135 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:58.720 was probably a bigger story. I think that there was 136 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.799 a couple of their stories that we could have maybe 137 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:07.200 focused on besides the super Bowl, but Jan chose the 138 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.720 super Bowl and the Eagles winning. But well, we'll move 139 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.440 on from that. Her next story, we go to March. 140 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:19.559 In March or top story is that the US government 141 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:25.360 deported nearly two hundred and eighty immigrants to Savadorian prison 142 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:29.600 without hearings or trials, relying in part on rarely used 143 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:35.440 eighteenth century wartime law. And that is a that was 144 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.639 a big story in March, and the president was able 145 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:43.720 to get these folks deported and out of the country, 146 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:47.799 and that most of them, I'm pretty sure almost all 147 00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:53.240 of them were violent criminals, so kind of hard to 148 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:56.679 be mad. But of course you heard how I read that. 149 00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.799 That was exactly the way it read in Polly's article here, 150 00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:07.240 and it's definitely trying to lead the reader into believing 151 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.720 that this was a bad move. But I just don't. 152 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.000 I don't know that I agree with thinking it was 153 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.399 a bad move, but we'll move on from that. I 154 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.200 do think it probably was the top news story in March. 155 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.399 I also think I agree with her on what she 156 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:29.279 has down as her top news story from the month 157 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:35.039 of April, which was Pope Francis death. Pope Francis when 158 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.320 he passed away, it set off a wave of morning 159 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:43.039 among the world's one point four billion Catholics. It was 160 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:48.240 a big news story. It definitely dominated the news. I'm 161 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:53.039 not Catholic, but of course, anytime a pope passes and 162 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:57.720 then the intrigue over who's going to come next, it's 163 00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.639 something that catches your attention. So yes, I agree, And 164 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:04.799 I also agree with April because April also Pope related, 165 00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:12.480 you know it, it was of course, now I skipped one. Now, 166 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:16.759 March was Stevador. April was Pope Francis dying. So I 167 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.240 think I just kind of said wrong. I think after 168 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.759 going through the February I kind of tried to skip 169 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.679 over March. I think I said it but yeah, April 170 00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:32.799 was Pope Francis. May was the election of his successor, 171 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:38.840 the first US Pope, Chicago born Cardinal Robert Provost, who 172 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:44.159 took the name of Pope Leo. So he is now 173 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:49.600 the first American to lead the US, So Pope Leo 174 00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:54.279 the fourteenth. I believe it is so awesome to see 175 00:13:54.320 --> 00:14:00.919 an American born pope. Now we'll head to June and 176 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.399 Polly's top story was Minnesota state lawmaker Melissa Hartman and 177 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.440 her husband Mark were shot and killed at their home 178 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:15.440 in politically motivated attack. And again, can't think of a 179 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.879 story that would top this when it shocked us at 180 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:21.200 the time, and it was a sign of things to 181 00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:25.080 come in the coming months, sadly, because we see too 182 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:29.080 many folks thinking that this is the correct way to go. 183 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:34.480 Tragedy is once again the top news story in Polly's 184 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:38.720 article on julye which is about the catastrophic floods in 185 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:43.200 central Texas. Those floods killed one hundred and thirty five 186 00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.600 at least one hundred and thirty five, including twenty seven 187 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:51.960 campers and councilors at Camp Mystic. If you remember, the 188 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.480 floods were flash floods that happened without warning and gave 189 00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:02.759 little chance for anyone to and figure out where to 190 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:08.080 go to survive. It happened too fast. We're still sending 191 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:13.039 out prayers for the families of the victims because it's 192 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:17.240 it's a tragedy that I don't know how you could 193 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:21.879 prevent it. And I understand there are people that want 194 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:25.559 to blame somebody or find somebody to blame. This is 195 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.639 one of those instances where I'm not sure there is 196 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:33.919 anyone you can correctly blame here. But yeah, that's I 197 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.559 agree with her in this one. And now we'll march 198 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:42.279 on to August, where Polly has President Trump dispatching the 199 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:46.840 National Guard troops to Washington, d C. Which was a 200 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:51.759 rare domestic deployment of military that, of course, has been 201 00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:58.080 met with legal challenges. We have seen a judge block 202 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.440 Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops to Poland, I 203 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:09.000 mean portly. Oh goodness, last night was delivery night, and 204 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.399 there may be some slip ups like that because I 205 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.399 am probably a little sleep deprived here on New Year's Eve, 206 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:21.840 but I digress. We've also seen judge blocked Trump administration 207 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:27.120 from deployment of California National Guard in LA Supreme Court 208 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.679 also said that Trump cannot deploy National Guard to Chicago 209 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:36.039 as the legal challenge is moving forward. So it's set 210 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:42.960 off a storm of legal challenges and for now they 211 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:45.879 have not gone Trump's way, but we'll see how things 212 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:52.080 play out as we roll into twenty twenty six September. 213 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.399 Once again, there's no other story that she could have picked, 214 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:57.840 And if she had picked any other story, I would 215 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:03.159 have vehetimently disagreed with her. But she picked the assassination 216 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:09.440 of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Of course, Charlie Kirk shot 217 00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:16.480 and killed at a campus event in Utah. Kirk's alleged 218 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.680 killer has been charged with murder and has not entered 219 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.680 a plea as of yet, and they're starting the initial 220 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:29.000 part of the hearing here. It's one of those moments 221 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.799 that you'll never forget where you were when you heard 222 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:37.000 the news that Kirk had been assassinated. I was sitting 223 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:42.640 in my recliner. It was a Wednesday, and I had 224 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:46.359 we had just we had done the deliveries in the 225 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:52.240 newspaper the night before, so I had not headed towards 226 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:57.960 the office yet and when I got the news it 227 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:01.559 was a friend sent us a text message with a video, 228 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:05.960 and at first we're like, is this real? None of 229 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:10.519 us knew for sure, and I flipped over to Fox News, CNN, 230 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:13.319 all the twenty four hour news, and they all were 231 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:15.680 showing it, so then I knew it was very much real. 232 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:25.799 Wasn't long after that that the graphic video that you 233 00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:30.240 probably only watched once. One of the folks found that 234 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:34.160 and send it our way, and that's when you realize 235 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:38.839 that this this was not going to be a happy ending. Yeah, 236 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.119 you were still praying that you were wrong, praying that 237 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:48.480 maybe that's not as bad as it looked. But ultimately 238 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.880 we got the news that Kirk had passed and it 239 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:58.640 was still it's still to this day devastating and shocking 240 00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:03.440 to even talk about. But right now we're seeing turning 241 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:07.559 point USA soldier on. We're seeing them find folks to 242 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:12.039 go onto the college campuses and continue Charlie's legacy. Our 243 00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:16.119 own Chris McDaniel even hosted one of these events at 244 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:21.079 the University of Southern Mississippi. My understanding is he's working 245 00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:24.960 with them to do another one in the spring and 246 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:28.799 maybe even go to all miss and Misspech State for 247 00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:32.759 some so that'd be something that once we find out 248 00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:36.319 if something's been scheduled, we will update you here on 249 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:41.960 the Right Side radio show. Of course, her October story 250 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:46.599 another one I agree with. Israel and Hamas reached a 251 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:52.720 ceasefire agreement and days later Hamas released the remaining twenty 252 00:19:52.920 --> 00:20:01.240 living Israeli hostages. The ceasefire has been shaky since that happened, 253 00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:05.400 and each side continues to say that the other one 254 00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:12.960 is guilty of breaking said ceasefire. But it's it's interesting 255 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:18.759 to see how things happen November. November is an interesting 256 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:24.200 one because you could talk about the longest government shut 257 00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.480 down in American history, or you could talk about the 258 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:34.160 off year elections that saw Democrats sweep most as they 259 00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:38.319 called it competitive races, but again, as I said at 260 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:42.680 the time, the Democrats in most of those races should 261 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:47.559 have been the favorite. The shutdown, I think is the 262 00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:50.640 correct answer in the top story of November. But you 263 00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:57.519 could also point to Zoran Mandini, the Socialists that New 264 00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:04.000 York elected as It's made, which again is a disturbing 265 00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:08.640 but an equally big event. So I think those two 266 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:12.640 could very easily be ones to share. But because of 267 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:18.799 how much the government shut down dominated the headlines. You 268 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:24.279 kind of had to talk about that one. You kind 269 00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:27.039 of had to talk about that one. And then in December. 270 00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:30.359 I disagree with her, even though I think this story 271 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:36.279 is one that could easily be picked as a top headline, 272 00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:40.640 but I think that she purposely didn't choose the one 273 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.039 that I think is the top headline of December, in 274 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:49.680 which she talks about the tragic shooting in Sydney, Australia, 275 00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:54.039 where two terrorist gunmen opened fire on a Honkkah celebration 276 00:21:54.839 --> 00:22:02.400 at Bondi Beach in Sydney. Fifteen were killed in this 277 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.759 there was a hero that jumped in and took the 278 00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:11.400 gun away from one of the terrorists and that probably 279 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.960 saved several lives. It's a good one to pick, for sure, 280 00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.720 and to understand why you would want to pick that. 281 00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:26.839 But to me, the biggest story in December is the Minnesota, 282 00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:32.279 the Minnesota Somali scandal, where we're finding out that funds 283 00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:35.200 have been misappropriate, Funds that were supposed to go to 284 00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:41.599 children have been misappropriated and sent to Somalia, and it's 285 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:46.400 leaving Tim Walls, the former Democratic nominee for Vice President 286 00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:50.279 of the United States. It leaves him on shaky political 287 00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:53.480 ground because this has been going on for a while 288 00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:56.480 under his administration and he couldn't figure out a way 289 00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:01.200 to stop it. So Polly conveniently does not select that 290 00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:07.880 particular story because I guess it's just not the big gotcha, 291 00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:09.920 because I think she chose the one she did, even 292 00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:12.599 though it's in Australia. I think it's another one of 293 00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:15.920 those we picked this because it'll make guns look bad, 294 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.920 and we're going to ignore the one that makes one 295 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:27.079 of our Democrat darlings and Timmy Walls look bad. So 296 00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:30.799 I disagree with her on December. For the most part, 297 00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:34.319 several of hers I agreed with from month to month, 298 00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:38.599 and they were big stories, and they were ones that 299 00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:45.440 warranted a conversation or two. Now I'm going to Paul's 300 00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.279 right here for a quick commercial break. When we come back, 301 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:51.519 I'm going to go through what ABC News. They didn't 302 00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:54.759 go month to month, but they did put together a 303 00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:59.480 list of stories that they said everybody was talking about. 304 00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:03.279 Some of the may be repeated from Polly's month to month, obviously, 305 00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:06.240 but I want to go through it and see what 306 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:09.319 we think of the stories they said that everyone was 307 00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:13.319 talking about in twenty twenty five and see how much 308 00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:16.759 I agree that everyone was talking about them. This is 309 00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:55.720 the right Side Radio Show. We'll be right back. The 310 00:24:55.960 --> 00:25:03.160 Midnight Ride, your hope for the anti establishment movement.

Be a part of the anti establishment movement 316 00:25:33.039 --> 00:26:08.480 The Midnight Ride. All right, guys, welcome back here to 317 00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:11.720 the Right Side Radio Show and what will probably be 318 00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.240 the home stretch of the radio show, the final segment 319 00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:19.839 of the program today and your first episode of twenty 320 00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:25.160 twenty six. It's a time to erupt the applause and 321 00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:29.440 get folks all excited here as we are entering a 322 00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:36.519 glorious new year of twenty twenty six. Folks, it's exciting. 323 00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:39.240 People were ringing in the new year last night. I'm 324 00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:44.000 sure there were some firework blast I'm sure all kinds 325 00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:48.720 of fireworks and you know, explosions. The excitement that ring 326 00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:53.000 in the new year was all there. As we say goodbye. 327 00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:55.720 That was thunder that didn't sound like it maybe, but 328 00:26:55.839 --> 00:27:00.559 the fans they applauded there. I guess they liked the 329 00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:06.400 thunderous firework whatever that was. Oh goodness. Well, we just 330 00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:09.720 went through a list that Jane Polly put together of 331 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:14.160 the top stories month to month. But ABC News and 332 00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:19.400 Emily Shapiro put out her own list of stories that 333 00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:22.720 she said everyone was talking about in twenty twenty five. 334 00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:29.240 One of those stories was the LA wildfires, and I 335 00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:32.599 think that is an accurate one that folks were talking 336 00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:36.880 about NonStop tragic that there were so many people that 337 00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:44.119 lost everything in these fires, and it was a tragic 338 00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:48.519 moment for sure. Then you go back to January, and 339 00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:53.759 we're looking at the end of January when an American 340 00:27:53.799 --> 00:28:00.279 Airliner Regional Jet was on approach to Washington, DC's Ronald 341 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:05.599 Reagan Washington National Airport when it collided with the US 342 00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:11.279 Army Blackhawk helicopter, sending both aircrafts into the Potomac River. 343 00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:15.759 All sixty four people on board the plane and all 344 00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:22.240 three soldiers on the helicopter were killed. The collision marked 345 00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:29.440 the first major commercial airliner crash since two thousand and nine. 346 00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:35.200 It's I remember when it happened. We did a special report, 347 00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:41.079 and it's one of those things that just steal breaks 348 00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:45.240 your heart thinking back to it. Another story that she 349 00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:47.799 has on her list that everyone in twenty twenty five 350 00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:53.519 was talking about was when actor Gene Hackman and his 351 00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:57.400 wife were found dead at their Santa Fe, New Mexico 352 00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:04.559 home during a February twenty six welfare check. In March, 353 00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:11.759 investigators announced that his wife died from a rare disease 354 00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:19.119 that was transmitted through urine through rodent urine droppings or saliva. 355 00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:25.279 Hackman was ninety five years old and died of cardiovascular 356 00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:30.920 and Alheimer's disease. Said he was likely home with his 357 00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:37.359 diseased wife for one week before he died. They say 358 00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.640 that she passed away on February twelfth, and believed that 359 00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:47.279 Hackman died around February eighteenth. Hackman was in an advanced 360 00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:50.839 state of all Timer's and it is quite possible that 361 00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:54.319 he was not aware she was deceased, is what they said. 362 00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:59.599 One of the couple's three dogs was also found dead 363 00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:03.240 inside to create here in the welfare check, and very 364 00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:07.279 possible that the dog passed away from dehydration and starvation 365 00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:14.160 after its owners were deceased as well. It's a sad story. 366 00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:18.240 And Hackman was one of those actors that I was 367 00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:22.559 a big fan of. He was in great movies, from 368 00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:26.279 The French Connection to what I consider the greatest sports 369 00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:31.400 movie of all time, Boogiers, And he's one of those 370 00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:34.319 talents that of course, he had been retired for years 371 00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:43.119 and having Alzheimer's was definitely it was definitely a story 372 00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:46.720 that called a lot of people's attention because him being 373 00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:52.319 elevated as an actor of his status. The next story 374 00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:56.640 that she has on her list is Karen Reid's trial. 375 00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:01.400 It was on June eighteenth, the Massachusetts jury found Karen 376 00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:06.000 Reid not guilty of murdering her Boston police officer boyfriend, 377 00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:10.039 ending a criminal case that had, according to her, gripped 378 00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:14.119 the nation's attention. And I'll be honest with you, I'm 379 00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:16.680 not familiar with this case. I don't know how much 380 00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:20.200 it gripped the nation's attention. It didn't grab grip my attention. 381 00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:25.599 And because of that, I just can't. I don't know 382 00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:27.799 that I agree with this one. But maybe this is 383 00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:32.519 one of those stories that you got captivated by, that 384 00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:36.319 you got drawn into and it was a big story 385 00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:39.160 to you, to me, I'm not familiar with it at all, 386 00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:43.319 so I'm not sure what it was. But they say 387 00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:47.200 that prosecutors alleged that Reid hit her boyfriend with her 388 00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:51.200 car outside of the home of a fellow police officer 389 00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:54.480 after a night of heavy drinking in twenty twenty two, 390 00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:57.920 and then left him to die there in a blizzard. 391 00:31:58.599 --> 00:32:02.640 The defense had argued that read vehicle did not hit o'keith, 392 00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:06.640 and instead said that o'keeith was attacked by a dog 393 00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:11.079 and beaten by other people who were in the house 394 00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:14.559 before he was thrown outside in the snow to die. 395 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:21.039 Apparently she was found innocent, and yeah, but again I 396 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:24.079 just I don't know. Maybe that was something everybody was 397 00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:26.960 talking about. I just I don't even remember it, so 398 00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.400 to me, I don't see that one. It's a big story. 399 00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:33.319 The next one's one that was on Jane Polly's month, 400 00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:38.839 a month which was the July fourth. Heavy rain inundated 401 00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:47.400
