Speaker 2 (00:24):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Del john This is your morning show.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Chris Crocken for Michael ol Jorno, Michael, Michael Reggy. Okay,
there's scoops, Michael Scoob, Michael del Jano.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
He'll be back Monday.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Is a blast in for Michael Rory O'Neill, our National
correspondent of the National Corresponder, This great show. Joining us
now for the RFK testimony recap. Roy, that was some
sparks flying.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
My gosh, I.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
Told you the Cassidy questioning was going to be good,
and he set them up in that little trap of
do you think you should get the Nobel Pride the
President should get the.

Speaker 6 (01:14):
Nobel Prize for Operation warp Speed.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
He said yes, and then the Secretary minutes before though,
he said that the Secretary had said that the mRNA
vaccine developed during COVID was one of the deadliest ever developed.
So it's tough to figure out where things stand this morning.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
You know, one of the things that producer Red and
I were talking about, and I think it's a great
point is and he did end up saying that, yes,
it saved a lot of lives, so but it both
could be true it saved lots and lots of lives
from people with comorbid of these, et cetera. But also
mayer card ice is in fact one of the effects
from people taking it that happens, right, So it can

(01:51):
hurt and it can help.

Speaker 5 (01:52):
Right, especially Yeah, I found that in what teenage Boys,
I think it was most prevalent for that side effect
to happen, although still rare. But yeah, it's a lot
of back and forth though. You know, it's up to
cut through the performances that are there. You know, the
folks that want to end up on Fox news or
on MSNBC. You know, let's cut through that and let's
ask some serious questions and try to get through the performance.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Was any rory, was any points did any peace or
good stuff come out between a Democrat interacting with RFK Junior?
Or I mean, was there any glimmer of togetherness in this?
Because all I saw was either you know, like you
just said, a friendly fire complimenting and then a bad
fire coming in from Democrats. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
Well, I think the more interesting part was how much
criticism it was the Republicans who gave r. F. K. Junior,
especially those Republican physicians on the panel, Senator Cassidy, Senator Barasso,
both of them doctors. There was another senator from Kansas
who is a bit more. He was a bit more
He gave Kennedy a bit more leeway. It was a
bit looser with him, but said, hey, you know, we

(02:58):
can still we can still find.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
The good parts of the COVID vaccine.

Speaker 5 (03:02):
So yeah, but I think that we heard from the
Democrats they're concerned about the vaccine panel that's being replaced
by Kennedy's choices. Essentially, he wiped out the old panel,
putting in his people who are more skeptical of vaccines,
whether or not that's everyone. I mean, it's help. There's
healthy skepticism and then there's destructive, right, So you'll want

(03:22):
all of them to be have a healthy skepticism about vaccines,
but whether or not they're just already set in their
ways against them, that doesn't really that may not serve anyone.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Well and Rory, what if anything is going to come
out of this other than you know, people getting you know,
great clips, attacking or praising you know, each other. Is
there anything that you see coming out of this that
might be productive in some way?

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Or is it pretty much the same old political spectacle.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Yeah, it's pretty much a show with the big tent
and the floppy shoes and the big red nose and all.
But I think that the it's also a measure of
how does President Trump stand behind Kennedy? Does he still
you know what that relationship look like? You know, President
Trump gets very close to people and then gets very
far away elon muk like, it's either all in or

(04:09):
all out. There's not really a middle of ground. So
if he sticks, if the President and Secretary Kennedy can
stay at they hit together, that'll then Kennedy's fine. If
they starts something that where the President may want a
distance himself, obviously all bets are off. But I think
as it stands right now, this is a whole lot
of theater.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Good stuff, man, Rory, thank you.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
We'll see at eight fifty eastern four National Guard up day.
Big stuff. They're out of Chicago and other cities. Appreciate you, sir,
talk to you the bit.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Thanks. Yeah, there he goes. Okay, we have the top
five stories of the day.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
Well, Fox News Bill Malugin reporting that federal Judge Kathleen Williams,
who ordered to close down elegantor Alcatraz and hold construction
home gone Federal US Circuit Court of Appeals Eleventh Circuit
blocks the Obama appointed judge. That is great news in
my camp. Okay, what else, this is quite the story.

(05:11):
Wisconson Governor Tony evers Or evers erases the term pregnant
woman and puts in the new administrative rule puts pregnant
member and then changes his father to other parent. Why
because while we want to destroy the breakdown of the
nuclear family, that's the way you can destroy a community
and destroy a city, county of state in a country.
Jonathan pod Hortz with a great, great take on Twitter.

(05:33):
Tim Kane doesn't think our rights come from God. He
learned that when he was picking coffee beans to show
solidarity with the Stalinist regime in nik Rocket.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
He's what do they say yesterday?

Speaker 4 (05:42):
He said, he said that our rights don't come from God,
from the preamble of the constitution, right.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
He attacked that. We'll play that a little bit later
in some of our Sounds of the day.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Joe Biden seeing with a massive head wound as former
president's appearance sparks concerns a massive cash.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
I kind of wrote my little notes this. I kind
of chuckled.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Gash o rama, massive cash walking around like man, you
see that picture? Guys, that was a disaster, wasn't it?
Might you might want to stay inside till the gash
heels up.

Speaker 6 (06:12):
Yes, Producer Redcavely had cancer cancer removed from his head.
And but we didn't know about that either, did we.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
No?

Speaker 4 (06:24):
No, no, no, no no no, you will know you
he was in tip Top show. He'd be running the country.
I know better than Trump. He runs circles around everybody.
Did you see him? He was doing handstands on the
top of the car when he was shaking the hands
with the cash in his head was wonderful.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
What he look, this is a great little one.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Uh an investor who bought a one ounce gold bar
costcomember They were selling out and people were buying him
like Bazancos. Uh. Well, if you bought one of those
one ounce gold bars of Costco a year ago, you
would have paid two thousand and four to ninety five
bucks for it.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
Right.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
That investment today worth three.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Thousand, five hundred and seventy seven is a Thursday a
one year gain of fourty to two percent one thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
How about dah? How about dah? That's a one heck.

Speaker 6 (07:04):
Of a good nott better than Nancy Pelosi.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Well, you got to follow Paul Pelosi's trading account, right
or whatever that whatever it is that that feed, apparently
it's it's shut down. The party's done. Nancy's done. She's
made so much obscene amount of money.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
She's done. No more of that. You can't.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
You can't profit off that. We they're mad at you
for profiting to nothing. Nothing for you, no suit for you,
Eagles superstar. I don't know if you saw this this
is really nasty. Eagle superstar Jailing Carter ejected six seconds
into the game last night, actually into the NFL season.
The game didn't even start for spitting on Dallas Cowboy.

(07:39):
Dak Prescott Cowboy.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
So literally they came out and he goes up to
him and he says something in his face and spits
on him.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
DJ is now deliberating over gun ban for transgender people.
The DJ's discussion center on the fact that those who's
had gentity identity is transgender suffered from gender dysphoria, a
mental disorder. Wow, wow, well you got two transgender terrorist
shooters and in what one year? Two was the two
years from Audre Hell, the transgender she was at the

(08:09):
terrorist in Nashville. And then last but not least, remember
the FED board member Cook, Miss Cook, and she was
fired Leasa Cook and for mortgage for our allegations mortgage fraud.
The initial scrutiny the Wall Street Jeneral report yesterday has
centered on Cook's properties in ann Arbor, Michigan, and Atlanta,
with investigators using Grand Juries as a part of the probe,

(08:31):
all because of referrals from Bill Palti former NUBB director,
I should say a federal Housing Finance agency. Now, I
wanted to get back into some points on the illegal
illegals in our country and what's been going on in
Chicago and other areas, so I hit on this a
little bit. Fifty one thousand illegals have have been sent

(08:53):
up or invaded in Chicago since twenty twenty two, fifty
one thousand in the city of Chicago, according to Fox
Mike Tobin yesterday afternoon, as will by the end of
this year twenty twenty five, they will have spent in
three years over two and a half billion dollars two
point five billion b with a B and boy as
in boy, two hundred and two point five billion on

(09:15):
illegals in Chicago in just three years. Can you imagine
that's almost a billion dollars a year? And for what
it's un Let me tell you something else too. I'm born,
raised Chicago, got a lot of friends who are Chicago
police and other police in the areas.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
And guess what I have been told by them.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
I've seen Actually when this was going down, at the
height of it, I always sent pictures from the thirteenth
District of Chicago police and I put them up, put
them up my social media feeds on Milwaukee Avenue and
then the north side of the city, and there were
illegals sleeping all over the floor in the sixteenth precinct.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
This is all the precincts.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Can you imagine being a police officer showing up every
day and having to climb over the had crate. They
had milk crates to step on and kind of walk
over to get over the illegals.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
They're all over the floor.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
Like if you're a citizen like you or me, you
are literally walking in between illegals sleeping all over the floors.
And guess what else. They would go into the bathroom
and they would do haircuts. There was hair the entire
floor of the bathroom in the Chicago Police Department assisting
district bathroom was just like two inches of hair. And
second of all, they had a bus running right in
front of the police They had tents set up all
around the front lawn and side lawn of.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
The of the police headquarters too.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Of its one district alone, but it was all a
bunch of them, almost all of them from what I understand.
And so they had a bus running when it got
cold in the evening they would have like fifty illegals
or you know, sleeping on a bus with it running
all night long. I mean, this is this is the
just how just how vile this twenty million, you know,
twelve to twenty million invasion of this country was and

(10:44):
what it's done to just one city for example, in
the crime and then did Agua. I'll tell you one
more thing with the illegal invasion that happened in Chicago
that you may or may not remember. You may not
have caught an illegal from the Islamic Republic of Mauritania,
which Trump that's one of the countries that's very uh,
radical Islamic terrorism friendly. We don't want people from that country. Really,

(11:05):
it's a it's a very dangerous aspect because they're as
I said, they're terrorists friendly. Anyways, he want illegal from
from Martigna walked down the street and hunted a Jew
who was having the audacity to walk down the street
with his jarmicle on his kip his skull cap to
go to worship God on Saturday afternoon. He was shot
and killed by that radical Islamic terrorists who hunted a

(11:26):
Jew and because he's a terrorist in the streets of Chicago.
And that's one of Joe Biden's legals. That's one of
the illegals that the Mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson said,
we want you here where you're part of our community. Uh.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
And Governor pritzkerb one more thing too.

Speaker 6 (11:40):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
This is I find this hysterical and and in filling
in Chicago regularly. This this this had come up before.
You know how they have these festivals for you know,
Latino Festival or you know Pride Festival, for you know,
Puerto Rican Pride Festival, whatever, these.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Kind of things.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Well, some of these places are canceling because the're afraid
this will be an immigration rate. They're not going to
do an immigration rate in the middle of a like
a community festival unless there's somebody wanted that's going to
show up there that they actually.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Have a warrant for.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
You know what I mean that that's they're hunting down
like a dangerous person is a criminal.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
So they canceled.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
This came in today yesterday, yesterday after the too in September,
the Mexican Independence Parade that's this this month in Wakegan,
which is right by where I was lived lived in
the first you know from age two to twelve in Chicagoland. Uh,
they canceled the Mexican An Impendant parade because of this,
like as if they're going to show up and like
arrest everybody. You're you know, this is the lie from

(12:32):
the left.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
You know, you're brownskin, you're under arrest.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
You know.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
I put a loll when I retweeted this on my
Twitter feeds. So this is so absurd read did you
want to say something.

Speaker 6 (12:43):
Like I think that I think I remember them reading
that they had canceled Sinca de Mayo things too back.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
I mean, yeah, they're going to show up and you
know what coming in, bash people, skulls it and arrest everybody. No,
it's it shows how they're lied to by the media
and in their own minds, Like you know how they
they think that that Trump is evil and he's going
to hunt everybody. It's the life and the Left saying
they're hunting brown and black people the whole lot. You know.

(13:11):
So anyway, September Mexican Independence Parades and Wakegan canceled the
parade Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago, which is a very you know,
one of these areas has a lot of crime, but
also has a lot of Hispanics and other folks. Anyways,
the Pills neighborhood is continuing. But listening to this, you
want a real good laugh. Watch this. They're continuing their
Mexican Independence parade, but they're going to have spotters in

(13:33):
the crowd with cell phones, radios and whistles. Remember when
the Democrat planned for our our girls on campuses if
somebody was trying to actually assault them, it was don't
give them a weapon, give them a rape whistle. Do
you remember that, here's your rape. No, I want my

(13:55):
daughter to carry a pistol.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
The absurd of the left right.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono York Posts.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yesterday, Chicago tried a Trump style surge to stop a crime,
stop crime a decade ago, and it worked, but dem
leaders candidate because of optics. They realized, oh my gosh,
people that are Democrats at least they thought, don't want
to solve in crimes and don't want to be safe,
so they candidate. This is all about a man who

(14:30):
was a former first Assistant State's Attorney for Cook County,
Robert Mylin or Milan. It's Cook County States, Siurning, they
don't call it da okay in Chicago, Illinois and Illinois itself,
they call them the state's attorney. So this first assistant,
so it's like a top assistant, right for Cook County
was Chicago. They flooded the three most dangerous district with

(14:51):
extra cops and ATF and US marshalls on a single
weekend November twenty sixteen. And guess what that whole weekend,
just one shooting across the streets during the weekend. Citywide
crime dropped forty one percent in one weekend. Well, he says,
no mayor wants to be the first mayor of Chicago
to ask the National Guard to come in and patrol

(15:12):
the streets for public safety. I was told that because
he wanted that, he asked for it. With the success,
he thinks Johnson. Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker are fools
fighting the unbelievable opportunity from Trump. This has been going
on since before I was born, He said. The murder
rate is still in Chicago dramatically higher than New York
City or Los Angeles. Because it's Trump, We're not going
to do it, So people are going to die, he said,

(15:33):
Rob Emmanuel when he was mayor on the Chicago South
and West side. To anybody to touch you the south side,
the worst doesn't know Chicago. It's both as a West
and South are equally just as bad. Anyways, Rob em
Manuel surged them, and he and the prosecutor and former
Marshall US Marshall James Smith cooked up the plan for
another police saturation operation in Chicago's K Town and brought

(15:55):
two months in the early two thousands no shooting during
a period otherwise would have had doze. I'll continue with
it next. This is Chris Crockett from Michael del Jorno.
I'm Joe Big in Tampa and my morning show is
your Morning show with Michael del Jorno.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Hi, I'm Michael del Jorno and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern. Non great stations like
six point twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi or Akrons, News
Talk six forty WHLO and AKRON Ohio and News Radio
five seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine, but we're glad you're

(16:39):
here now.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Enjoyed the podcast.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
Michael's back on Monday. It's been a blast of this
week with you.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
So I'm in the middle of this great story from
New York Post a Chicago try day Trump style surgs
to stop Crome a decade ago and it worked, but
then leaders candidate because of optics. You have a former
First Assistant State Attorney for Cook County, which is their
DA if you will, Robert Milan, and he goes on
and says, we did a big surge with ATF and

(17:10):
US marshals and it worked and there was one one
gun shot incident in a weekend. Crime was down forty
and every time we try this, we did it and
it worked well. But they told me, we don't like
the optics. He says, the Democrats can control of the city.
So it said we don't like the optics, and the
governor we don't like the optics with the National Guard.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
And that was in twenty sixteen, I believe.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
And the New York Post also said the murder rate
in Chicago is still dramatically higher right now the New
York City and Los Angeles, and the former assistants first
Assistant States attorney says, it's because it's Trump, we're not
going to do it. We're not going to do the
law enforcement surge, even though of course we've done it,
he says, and it worked really well. So people are
going to die, and that's exactly right. The choice is

(17:58):
let people die. Like we talked about with the MMR
shot in black young black youth getting the measles mumsterbella
shot and the scientists with the CDC that discovered a
two hundred and sixty percent increase in autism. He was
told to destroy the evidence and he came out as
a whistleblower twelve years later, and that came up yesterday

(18:20):
in our case testimony. And the message I said earlier was,
you know, let the black children get autism because we
don't want to tell people the truth doesn't fit our narrative. Well,
here it's this assistant first Assistance States attorney saying, now,
you know, because it's Trump, we're not going to do it.
So people are going to die, and typically it's disproportionately
African American people in the inner cities that are being killed.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
There are victims of crime.

Speaker 4 (18:46):
So yes, people are going to die, and it doesn't
affect the elite, predominantly white politicians.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Even even there's a lot of African American.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
Politicians at Chicago, obviously, and their just decision is, yeah,
let them die, doesn't We don't like them optics, We
don't like the politics of it. Mayor Ram Emmanuel's administration
when he was the mayor of Chicago, they deployed a
lot of cops into the South and West sides. The
former US for the former Assistant States Attorney said, he
and US Marshall James Smith cooked up this plan saturation

(19:18):
over Chicago's Ktown neighborhood for two months in the early
two thousands, no shootings for that whole period that otherwise
would have had dozens.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
So it works. The crime surge works. He says. We
had wielet's listened to this. This is so cool.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
We had wire taps going on in the on the gangs,
so we were listening and they're saying, we got to
get out of here. Five ers everywhere. We can't do anything,
he says. When the city tried it again in twenty sixteen,
the city coffers and cops a police force could not
sustain the operations.

Speaker 5 (19:46):
So the.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
Prosecutor, pass city leaders, why not bring in the National Guard?
This is twenty sixteen. It was immediately dismissed and crime
search right backed up. He says all about as he said,
the optics that he told DC's leaders, as you know,
have reported a forty five percent reduction in crime since
the Guard arrived. And that's why Miroboser says it's working.

(20:09):
She obviously is hearing from constituents that it's great, they
love it, and she signed it as far as we know,
I mean, it's in perpetuity until she decides not to
because it's good policy.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
So who's mad about that? In DC? You know who
it is.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
It's the elite white liberals who live in the districts
that have very low crime compared to the seventh and
eighth wards of the city of DC, where it's high homicide,
high crime, prenominally African American. So once again, it's the affluent,
elite white liberals that don't care about the crime over
there or the people being victimized. They care about optics

(20:46):
and Orange Man bad.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
So here's another crit Yes, yes, go ahead, rest Chris.

Speaker 6 (20:52):
In Chicago, they probably have less police now than they
just stayed in twenty sixteen. Well, I was on the police.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
I was at a gathering when I was in Chicago,
my hometown, about two three weeks ago, and I was
talking to two former Chicago police who left after years
who are not in the suburbs. I cannot tell you
how many. It's insane like this is not an exaggeration.
How many police officers leave the city and go to
the suburbs. And the other thing that people need to

(21:22):
know is you become the cops. Each cop becomes extraordinarily
irreplaceable and invaluable after five years of service because the
statistics show and the studies show, and law enforcement experts
not my world, but their world that they have gone
through almost everything they could possibly go through after five years,
and so they're like at their best. Five years in

(21:43):
past is like gold, and they're losing so so many
of the best of the best because they don't want
to go to jail for doing their jobs. I can
tell you a story. I won't get into it, but
because otherwise it gets in the weeds and could take.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
A while unless you guys want me to.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
There is in Frisco, Texas, which is suburban Dallas Forth
where I live now.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
There was cops.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
It was an incident. The guy happened to be black.
He died, and when he was tasered with something, there
was a righteous situation. Those two cops were on desk
or you know, we're on you know, they investigated. You
don't know their names pending the investigation. Two weeks later.
Investigation said they vote, they violated no policies back on
the job. You'll never know who the cops were, okay,
because they did their job righteously. Something happened in Chicago

(22:27):
that was somewhat similar. The guy was white, he didn't die,
and that cop was told we're gonna you know, we're
investigating it. One year later, he had the sort of
damocles over him for one year.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
At the end of his shift.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
After a year, he was arrested in uniform and charged
with I believe aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for
tasering somebody righteously. Who would who kept getting up and
down and up and down, and finally, you know, he
was the taser RS like I'm gonna tassee youyog And
he got up and down and up and down, and
he was acting like he was getting on the ground.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
They would get up by vice first ary.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
We tased him and he happened to fall right on
his nose, face forward and it looks horrible, broke.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
His nose, ocular socket and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
But he wasn't even an African American with racial tension
or anything like that, and they fired. This is the vile,
disgusting hatred for the police officers in Cook County and Chicago, Illinois.
You see the same thing with Mamdani, Commedy Mamdani in
New York City. He say the same thing in Los Angeles.
If you're not woke and playing a game, we hate you.
We're gonna take you down, and we lose the best

(23:27):
of the best of the best. And the people of
the Black Lives Matter movement from back in the day,
the godless, anti family, communists, anti police, anti law, Marxist outlook,
they and the people that supported them and or were
hoodwinked into it, they have destroyed so much of the

(23:48):
policing and of the safety. And this is not even
be The effects of it will redound for years to come.
It will not get better for at least another decade,
maybe more. It's gonna be so horrified, and you look
at I forget which police force it is it It
could be Chicago.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
I forget if it was New York or Chicago. I
can't remember which one. So many different stuff we talk
about every day. But it was like that, they're.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
Down like a nine hundred officers, uh, and they can't
get anybody.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
You know, why did Memphis happen with that?

Speaker 4 (24:19):
That whole Memphis thing with that guy that that guy
was beaten and died or whatever, remember that, and all
those cops were and diet of that huge story. You know,
you know why? Because they can't get good cops anymore.
Because they won't get good cops. A lot of the
good cops leave and go to suburban departments and the
ones that they get because they're so desperate. They got
one of the guys in there that was one of
the worst of the worst in that whole case was

(24:40):
he he was a former prison guard who had massive
things on his record of abuse and beating people. And
so that's what you wanted, that black lives matter and supports,
you got it. And who died that day a black man.
That's what you're gonna get. That's your fruit. There you go.
That's the bitter fruit. Look, I didn't mean to go
on a little pestle there he went. If you guys

(25:02):
want to pick pull fun of me and play something,
there had some levity decisi I see Red laughing at me.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
You mean to help you to get off that soap buch.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
No, I need some coup down here. Take take me
off the soapbox, kick that soapbux off. Throw it tomaso
at me. Meanwhile, Trump silences the critics, says the Daily
Mail brand new poll daily my love, when Red's laughing
at me, to be serious, it's good though.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
It's good. We can't take these too seriously.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
But Daily Mail jail Partner's poll came in highest approved
ratings ever for Trump's presidency. Fifty five percent approval rating,
forty five percent disapprove.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
And that's a plus ten. It's amazing.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
This is the highest approval, they say, figure we've ever
had for Donald Trump in the Daily Mail poll.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Wild huh.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
And it's they say that that those numbers coming as
he cracks down on crime. All right, I have a
story about road rags that just so badly wanted to
get into. It's pretty short and simple. But the fact
that I was in the middle of a of a
road rate situation yesterday with my cabby made me really
want to do this. Okay, here's what happened. In the

(26:08):
story in the news on the Daily Mail. The North
Carolina construction worker was telling him how to slow down.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
You know how that works.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
They have a little science saying slow down or whatever.
This guy got mad at him. He at first he complied,
Then he got out of his car and he went
hup to the the construction worker and he punched him
in the face. He staggered backward, and then the guy
got in his car and the construction workers try to
bear put him in, box him in with barrels. He
still got around those, but they got his plates and
they're hunting them down.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
They're going to get him.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
And then yesterday I'm sitting in the cab drive it's
like a it's like an eight block or ten block
walk I don't know, to the convention center that I'm
in Town, Florid to go see to go do while
I'm doing the show for Michael and I took a
cabby because I'm sick of being sweaty from just walking
down the streets.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
So hot, muggy.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
You know, it's not compared to Texas at all, or
compared to Nashville, but it's hot where I'm like, I
hate it, and everybody seems to not have good enough
air conditioning.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
In the city of York, I'm not kidding you.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
I don't know what.

Speaker 6 (27:01):
Maybe it's gonna take your ego whorls rules what I figured.
You just didn't want to walk into the convention smelling
like pot.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
Oh no, yeah you don't, Yeah you don't.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
You literally walk outside and your weed is beating the
heck out of you everywhere.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Same thing in the city of Chicago.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
You sell your soul thinking and they lie to you
saying it's going to get all this money. And all
you do is you hurt people's lives and community, the community.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
That's all you do.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
You sell your soul and you don't get the you
don't get the money and the patching of the wherever
the need you have. So same thing with gambling. I
don't mind gambling, but I don't want it to my state.
I don't want to my community. People complain in Dallas
Fort Worth, Oh, we got to drive an hour north
oh Oklahoma and oh, Louisiana making so much revenue. Good,
let them do it. High crime, so much stuff comes
with the studies on that. Let me go to this though,

(27:45):
with the road rate thing. So I'm sitting in the
cab and all of a sudden, we're literally at a
dead stop for like probably ten minutes because some idiot,
you know, half block up, and then everybody's haunking the horn.
So this guy is next to us, and he rolls
his window down because my cabby kind of pulled in
this weird angle where you're shouldn't have done it.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
That's New York. They do this all the time.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
And this guy rolls his window on because my cabby
keeps inching in and he and my cabin has got
his window open. He goes, if you hit my car,
you touch my car, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna cut.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
Your head off.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
It started out first with don't if you touch my car,
I'm gonna come out there and beat the bleep out
of you. And this cabby is an elderly guy. He's
probably sixty five or seventy two, maybe a little bit more,
I don't know. And he said, left hand shakes a
little bit and he's half seeriing, half Italian. I was
enjoying getting to know him. And literally he goes at
this guy. He's like, dude, come down, what do you do.

(28:34):
But he was not mollifying it. He was inflaming it.
And so then this guy pulls a knife, but not
a normal knife, of like a knife that's like a
foot long.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
It's in his sheath. Yeah, it's in his sheath.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
It's not a machety, but it's about a foot long,
maybe ten and ten to twelve inches long on the blade,
and it's in his sheath. But he holds it up
and he holds it up by the handle of the
knife and he says, if you touch my car, I'm
gonna cut your effing hat off.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
Oh wow, And.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
They says I And then you say, kept going back
and for this.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
I will literally get out of this car.

Speaker 4 (29:03):
Now and I will cut your effing head off. And
I'm sitting in the back and I literally was at
that point, I'm like, all right, if this guy gets
out of the car, I'm not getting in between. Because
I was telling the elderly Syrian man too. I didn't
tell them rule was win no, but I said, dude,
I said, just like, don't I said, don't engage, don't engage.
He's serious, I'm trying to save this guy's life. Sure,
and he kept playing the game with the Machisi ball

(29:23):
and he's he's not gonna win, and I'm not gonna
get in between it because I carry a firearm, but
not on the airplane and not in New York.

Speaker 6 (29:29):
City, right, So I'm running period for that knife.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yeah exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah. Knife. It's a knife violence.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
We need knife regular, common sense, knife regulation control, knife control.
You know, when I was in Atlanta doing a talk
show about twelve years ago or fifteen years or whatever
it was, I thought it was a joke, and I
was stunned that long stem kitchen knives were considering being
banned in Great Britain because because the because they literally
continue to ban ban man and the problem is not

(30:01):
the weapon. The problem is man, man's heart, and man
is broken. And then we'll always uh have that in
the heart and have homicidal thoughts or urges or or
tremendous anger, and you'll never stop it.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
That's why I like everything. And they'll still kill some.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
Left to the if they're only left with their fist.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
They will fight with their fist. Jane killed Able with
a rock, right there you go.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
But anyways, so, so I wanted to ask you this,
and so I was ready at that point because I knew,
you know, it was this close to actually happening. So
I was ready to open my door and just sprint
the other way because I'm not gonna I'm not gonna beat.
I'm not Sheriff Bob. I'm not gonna die because my
cab drivers being a fool.

Speaker 6 (30:37):
You're gonna cabin dash.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
Well, I don't want a cab and watch somebody's head
cut off right in front of me, like like as
you hoty guys at the vehicle though, don't you that?

Speaker 6 (30:48):
What was that?

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Here's your twenty bush. So you're saying I didn't have
cash on me. You know I'm not. I'm cashless on
this trip by accident.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
But so I mean you were saying, You're saying I
should sit in the car watch this poor man get
his head cut off so I don't pay, so I
don't get out of pay for my fare.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
Not what I'm saying. I'm saying, don't cab and dash.
That's all playing that. How dare you sound bite. This
is for you. I rebuking you, cruse, so you need
to pay your cab fare once. This man's his head cuffs,
so you don't leave up paid fair. Oh that's the
wrong one.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
I do it all the time. I play the wrong
button all the time. You have no idea.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
It's good, No, not the.

Speaker 6 (31:21):
Only one you were paying.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
You weren't going to pay you two bleep and he bleeps,
sons of bleeps. You two can go take pound sand.
You literally are saying, because I only got ten bucks,
I'm to sit there and be in a car and
watch this guy gets up cut off and they just
look at me with blood lust. And I got no
gun on me. I got no gun on me on
this trip. This is my rolling Stone trip from the

(31:43):
nineteen ninety five show a Soldier field. And and there's little,
tiny little holes because the church's been kept in perfect conditions.
And there's tiny little holes where my gun is because
it wears off. Where's the times like the gun the
print from my concealed carry. So I'm sitting there with
my little holes there, but no gun, no gat in
case this guy comes at me, go ahead.

Speaker 6 (32:03):

help you.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
