Speaker 1 (00:00):
What was the craziest thing that happened this weekend?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
To you? Craziest? That's a hard question to answer. I
wasn't expecting craziest, so I have to think about that.
It was it was a good weekend. It did a
lot of really fun stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Is that right? Oh? You know what?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Actually I can answer that, Okay, I can. It's crazy
in a really crazy it's crazy good.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
What was the commercial? It's crazy good? Remember those? I
don't know? But uh, what was what was that selling?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Obviously it must not have been that good of an
ad because I don't remember what it was for.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Do you remember the one commercial that was for microwavable dinners?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
And never mind?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
No, no, it's a Monday, This is a this is
hop tart, This is a family show pop tarts.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's crazy good. Oh that's it? Yeah that was good?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Real?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Anyway, what was crazy about it? I finally saw the
red panda at the zoo. Finally. I've been to the
zoo so many times. I've had a membership the last year,
and I don't know what it is. Man, every single
time I've gone, that adorable little red panda is just
never out there hanging out or do you not see it,
because no, I look, trust me, it's up at the
(01:04):
top of its little, uh absolutely treehouse, and there's a
little place in the treehouse where theoretically he could hide.
So maybe there was a time or two where he
just was doing such a good job that I could
not see any piece of him.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Enough to see from the ground. Yeah, and I have.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I mean, there's a couple of different angles you can
look when you're walking around the enclosure. Trust me, I've tried.
But this last time, finally got to see the red panda.
And not only did I get to see him, I
got to see him in action. He was just kind
of walking back and forth. And man, what a beautiful
animal that that just like the rich color of red.
That that red panda is a beautiful animal is super cool. Said, well,
(01:38):
that was what was crazy good about my weekend. I
saw a couple of muskrats. Did you see my Facebook video?
Do you see how I put on Facebook?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
But I did not. I'll check it out. We were
on a walk.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
We were on a walk and uh, my wife is like,
there's a fury thing on the lake. Because the lake
was mostly ice, there's a furrief thing on the lake.
I was like where and then I saw it was
like beaver, It's not a beaver. Look closer, like, that's
way too small to be a beaver. And then I
saw the tail and it's like a rat tail, not
a not a beaver tail. So it's a muskrat. I
(02:12):
saw a couple of muskrats. Apparently that's probably a male
and female muskrat. Nice.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
So that was good. Yes, it was a good day
to get on a walk. You saw it yesterday? Yeah,
so you saw a muskrat, but not a groundhog. No,
I didn't. I didn't see a groundhog.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Thanks. Thanks for reminding me that yesterday was groundhog Day.
It was In case you forgot, I celebrated, did you
What did you celebrate?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Like?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
How did you celebrate?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You want to have this conversation right now.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I mean, I'd like to get into the news at
some point, but I'd rather talk about this than tariffs.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
So yeah, okay, I'll try to tell it to you
as briefly as I can. Yesterday morning, you know, I was,
I was getting ready for church. It was eight oh
five in the morning. And sometimes you have bathroom time.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Right, Sometimes you have bathroom time. Sometimes when you get
ready in the morning, you have bathroom time. You like
to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah right, yeah, you try to go to the bathroom
before you get going. Healthy thing for humans to do.
I think, well, I was quite regular yesterday morning. And
let me tell you exactly how okay? You know you
have your smart device when you when when you try
to be regular, I suppose they recommend that you don't
do more than ten minutes because that's not helping about
of screen time at a time. Yes, sure, no, I
(03:17):
mean I mean regular.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Now that's you get to the point here, pal, Well,
come on, snagge.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Am I recommended.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
In the YouTube recommended there was a live stream of
the Groundhog's Day at Punk Satani, and I tuned in
just at the right time to just see how stupid
and lame that holiday is.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Dumbest I saw the Gobbler Knob.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I too, I live streamed right to Gobbler's Knob and
all of these schmucks in their tuxedos and there. I mean,
give me a break that holiday. Put it in a
spaceship and send it to the moon. Belief fill here, No,
don't send it to the moon. I like the moon
too much. Put that thing out into the stratosphere. Yeah,
Phil can stay. I feel so bad for Phil. That
(04:01):
guy's just locked in his little chamber. He's just hanging
out there. Hopefully he had enough oxygen, because I can
tell you I'm a little worried that he didn't, because
then when they pull him out, you know what they
you know what he did when they when they pulled
him out of that place, he just laid down on
the little platform. Something was wrong with that groundhog, That's
all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
No, I think he gets handled pretty regularly. It would
be my guess.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I'm guessing he eats well. I don't think he's in
a lot of peril. I'll be honest with you, as
long as Build Deblasia doesn't accidentally drop him and kill him.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
But you know that's beside the point.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
It did happen to a groundhog once, not in Pucksatani,
but then in New York City when Build de Oblasi
decided to show up and hold the groundhog. He dropped
the groundhog. Groundhog guy from his injuries. Go back and
look at that up. We go look that up. And
if that doesn't get you angry, I come on. But
the point here is that the holiday is a big sham.
It's a giant lie, it's a conspiracy, it's it's garbage. Brother,
(04:52):
I've been saying this for years. I didn't know that
the groundhog didn't actually come out like they.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Pulled him out.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
They pull him out, he doesn't look at his shat
and then they read a pre a pre written statement
that supposedly was from a groundhog. He doesn't have a
posable thumbs that didn't come from him. Brother, what have
I been saying? Are you not listening to me? I
am not to help you.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I am now.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I was trying to help you. I didn't know, but
now you know, and now I know what.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I'm mad. I told you.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I'm ticked off, and I'm mad at Peter for having
such a dumb idea of how to replace it. That
was their moment. They blew it. They blew it.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I'm Peter. Now move out of the way.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeh you, Peter. I'm pta. Everybody's peda. I'll take some
Petera with some hummus delicious. I like me some Peter
Griffin on the TV. Yeah, Petera yo, pitera Lois. That's
a good Yeah, that's a good pat sometimes they go
out each other.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
But there's a bit that they do of like maybe
you should go to a Peter rally, and then Peter
Griffin's like, somebody's having a rally for me now, and
it goes back and forth a bit. It's really funny.
You got to go find it. I can't play on
the air though, anyway. Yeah, the bottom line here is,
you know, there are a positivity where you want to
find it in the news cycle, of course, beyond what
(06:01):
was happening at Gobbler's Knob in Punk Satanti, Pennsylvania. And
Shapiro was there. Did you see Shapiro there? Jos Shapiro
was there. He was, Yeah, he was there. You would think,
you know, a hardcore Democrat, which he really kind of isn't.
I'll be honest with you. He's not like the liberaliest
guy ever. But he's there, and he's like, come and
take it from our cold dead hands, basically to people
(06:23):
like us who are like, this is the stupidest thing
in the world. But obviously it's like people, there are
some of us that February second in Punksatani, Pennsylvania is
up there on the list of bucket items that we
need to go, much like you know New Year's Eve
in Times Square or the Fourth of July in a
highly patriotic city. I guess you know a lot of
(06:45):
people decide to go to Gobbler's Knob to enjoy those
festivities from around the country. I couldn't tell you why,
like what kind of lives those people lead, But jos
Shapiro obviously is very protective of that holiday for his
for his people. And that was the moral of that story,
was that Joshapiro showed up and basically said, if you
want to if you want to try to come and
(07:07):
take away our groundhog Day, you're gonna have to do
it from our cold dead hands. Talking about groundhog Day.
That's ridiculous. Get a better holiday, make up a better holiday.
Everything about that holiday is ridiculous. Maybe if you like
st Philadelphia and like cut it off and then scent
it into the ocean or something.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Maybe that'd be a fair trade. Maybe I'd let you
keep it. I don't know. Yeah, it's just really stupid.
And I'm glad you finally saw the light. I'm just
I'm glad. I'm glad to have some support in this room. Now.
Everything about the holiday I understand being silly, you know,
like it's we're silly to be silly. It's fun to
be silly, But to have a whole holiday organized around
all these people standing out there in the cold and
they're pulling a.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah, you're seeing the light. I'm proud of you. I'm
glad that you were able to come to your senses.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Pulling that groundhog out of that little chamber he was in.
After they after they're bloviating into the into the cold morning,
and I'm sitting there, I'm past my ten minutes of
recommended regulating. I don't what he cares, and I'm waiting
for this to happen, and I'm getting waiting waiting for what.
I had to take a quick shower afterwards, didn't have
enough time. Thank you for nothing, Groundhog's Day. I waited
(08:11):
for that. You shouldn't have I what did he say?
He said six more weeks of winter? Didn't he cares?
The squirrel stuffed his toe and we got two more
weeks of summer.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
What's the difference.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Did you know that in England the people who started
this is from like the England Ireland area, and they're
actually like it's supposed to be a hedgehog, but we
don't have hedgehogs in North America, so they turned it
into a groundhog. It's supposed to be a hedgehogs, Like
the lore is, the hedgehog tells.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You what the what the winter's supposed to do? I
don't know anyway.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Terras, Donald Trump, Mexico, Canada, all this stuff. Well, we'll
help you out here. And we're sorry for getting off
the rails here, but it's a monday. You know, what
do you want from us? What do you want from us?
And I just ate my lunch, So yeah, and stick around.
We got more coming up on news radio eleven ten KFA,
Bay Oh tarriffs and all sorts of other stuff going
(09:01):
on here.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Panama Canal, what do I say? I say Panama Canal?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You say, what, Why don't we rename it to Americana Canal?
Are we renaming everything America these days?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah? Maybe we could workshop the name a little bit.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, okay, So Marco Rubio said, yesterday I met with
the Panamanian President Jose raoulu and Molino and Foreign Minister
Javi or Choppama to make clear the United States cannot
and will not allow the Chinese Communist Party to continue
with this effective and growing control over the Panama Canal area.
We also discussed efforts to end the hemispheres mass migration
crisis and ensure fair competition for US firms. Guess what
(09:37):
happened shortly thereafter? Are you ready for this? Panama agreed
to facilitate and offer free passage to all US Navy
ships through the canal following this visit, and agreed to
end China's Panama Canal deal and leave from China's Belt
and Roade initiative from twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
That's all it took. It's over with.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
The United States has control over the Panama CANALCKEA. What
do we say about this? What are we going to
do with it?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I'm guessing put ships through there and not let China
control it would be my guess. Anyway, Now we now
they got Panama taken care of. What about these Canada
and Mexico tariffs that are supposed to go in this week?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Well?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Which country between Canada and Mexico? Mexico? Do you think, Matt,
we have bigger problems with right now between Canada and Mexico. Yep,
I suppose Mexico because of the border crisis. I would agree,
although it does feel like we are a little bit
more polar opposite with Canada these days, with the way
that they're pushing back and more on that in a second.
As far as Mexico is concerned, Yes, what happened this morning?
(10:38):
Donald Trump put on his truth social and I quote,
I just spoke with President Claudia Shinbaum of Mexico. It
was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately
supply ten thousand Mexican soldiers on the border separating Mexico
in the United States. These soldiers will be specifically designated
to stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal migrants into
(10:59):
our country. We further agreed to immediately pause the anticipated
tariffs for one month, during which we will have negotiations
headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of the
Treasury Scott Descent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnik, and
high level representatives of Mexico. I look forward to participating
in these negotiations with President Steinbaum as we attempt to
(11:21):
achieve a deal between our two countries. Why don't we
just let this stuff play out like just a little
bit before we all get up in arms all week
in long. I was here in tariff this and tariff that,
and here Mexico and the United States have come to
an agreement at least for a month. Mexico's going to
supply soldiers to help out at the border, and the
United States is going to apply tariffs for a month
(11:42):
until we get like a hardline agreement on how trade
can be fair and how we can help Mexico can
help us solve our immigration or i legal migrant in
our drug trafficking problem, and we'll work on you know,
the weapons trafficking and all sorts of other stuff that
I'm sure the United States could help Mexico with. Mexico
is a very nearby US. Of course, we share thousand,
(12:04):
over one thousand miles of border, you know, but there,
it is, there, it is Now Canada, things are getting
more contention to Canada. You want to know what's going
on there. Well, even before that happened, guess what happened today?
Donald Trump called Justin Trudeau, who's still the Prime Minister
of Canada, even though he's on his way out, he's
still the guy. And you want to know something, something
(12:24):
positive must have come from it, because he said Donald
Trump that he was going to talk to him again
at two o'clock hour time today, which means they should
be talking right now. Who knows, Maybe they're fashionably relate
to their conversation. But if something comes from that conversation
during our show today, we will let you know of
the details. But earlier today Donald Trump went on his
truth social and said Canada doesn't even allow US banks
(12:45):
to open or do business there. What's that all about?
Many such things, but it's also a drug war and
hundreds of thousands of people have died in the US
from drugs pouring through the borders of Mexico and Canada.
Just spoke to Justin Trudeau will be speaking to him
again at two So two calls in the same day,
one earliest morning, one this afternoon. After the news of
(13:07):
Claudia Scheinbaum in Mexico deciding to play some ball here,
and the news over the weekend that the Panama Canal
is now playing ball with US. Panama's playing ball with US,
I feel with some level of confidence that there's going
to be at least a temporary deal in place for
whatever the United States needs. That Trudeau is going to
at some point have to be like, Okay, we will
help you with that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
What are your demands? You want to know something else.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
The political left is sit in here saying, oh, Donald
Trump's backing down, He's losing his spine.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
What are you talking about, brother? What are you talking about? Pal?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
We're getting everything we want here, We're getting into deeper
negotiations here.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Of course, he's not gonna tear if them if they're
playing ball. Why would you do that? That doesn't make any sense.
It's the art of the deal. Donald Trump puts something
into the ether, people latch onto it. He was campaigning
on these TIFFs, right, He was talking about these tariffs
as a campaign ploy, and a lot of us were
just like, eh, I'm not sure exactly if we like
that idea. Guess what, He's been using the tariff as
(14:03):
a tool to get what we want from our neighbors.
So the United States isn't just carrying all of North America.
We actually are a part of it fairly, and we
are actually getting something from the other people around us.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
It is.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
This is why there's a book that he's attached to
called The Art of the Deal.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That's what this is.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
He loves this stuff, and I have a question ask
how much more winning will he have to do before
the political f say, okay, okay, maybe that was a
Maybe that was a good tactic because no tariffs have
been implemented, yet we're acting like it's the end of
the world. The Canadians were booing the American anthem at
the Toronto Raptors game yesterday. Uh oh, did you see that? No,
(14:44):
poor girls up there. It's in Toronto and she's singing
the national anthem, our national land. They're playing the Clippers,
so you know, you have to play the national anthem
of the team that you're playing.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Maybe they were just booing the Clippers.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
No, no, no, the national anthem started and you start
hearing the Raptor's crowd boo United States national anthem. Now
by proxy, same girl, thankfully, was also singing the Canadian
national anthem and they all started singing with her, so
she knew it wasn't personal obviously, But yeah, maybe we
have instilled some sort of national pride into Canadians all
(15:15):
of a sudden, you know, historically kind of like do
they even care they're in Canada conversation, Well, they apparently
they do. What I guess the lesson is, let's let
some of this stuff play out before we get to
ahead of our over our skis on this, right, Like,
I don't want to go head over heels trying to
break a lot of this stuff down until we know
what's happening. And so we're reporting what's happening. And for
(15:37):
all this talk about twenty five percent tariffs, there seems
there's an increasingly large dance that none of it happens.
And it will be interesting to see what the stock
markets do because they have, Like the analysis that I've
been reading today is after this Mexico conversation came out,
sounds like, uh, be ready for kind of a rebound here.
And that makes sense, right, It's like, oh, they're not
going to do tariffs. Well, bye bye bye? You know
(15:59):
that makes sense. Not that I'm an expert on this stuff?
What am I an expert on? Is there something I'm
an expert on? I sit here and I'm talk into
a hunk of metal for a living. I am I
smart about anything? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
You know about a lot of stuff. You know a
lot about greyhounds. That's first thing came to mind. That's
good dogs. Yeah, good point.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
And I was just thinking, is that n Sync song
about the stock market which one baby bye bye bye
bye bye.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
You could well the verses kind of specifically are talking
to a girl. But I mean, if you read it
like a poem, you could probably apply some of the
song to the stock market. Yeah, but you'd have to
like reado the spelling of buy are we sure? Bye
by like b u y b uy b uy.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Just hoping it's not a pump and dump scheme, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Oh, where's talk to a when you need her?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
E Marie SONGA will be back right after he finishes
his tea and scrumpets All News Radio eleven ten kfab

What was the craziest thing that happened this weekend?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
To you? Craziest? That's a hard question to answer. I
wasn't expecting craziest, so I have to think about that.
It was it was a good weekend. It did a
lot of really fun stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Is that right? Oh? You know what?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Actually I can answer that, Okay, I can. It's crazy
in a really crazy it's crazy good.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
What was the commercial? It's crazy good? Remember those? I
don't know? But uh, what was what was that selling?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Obviously it must not have been that good of an
ad because I don't remember what it was for.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Do you remember the one commercial that was for microwavable dinners?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
And never mind?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
No, no, it's a Monday, This is a this is
hop tart, This is a family show pop tarts.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's crazy good. Oh that's it? Yeah that was good?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Real?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Anyway, what was crazy about it? I finally saw the
red panda at the zoo. Finally. I've been to the
zoo so many times. I've had a membership the last year,
and I don't know what it is. Man, every single
time I've gone, that adorable little red panda is just
never out there hanging out or do you not see it,
because no, I look, trust me, it's up at the
(01:04):
top of its little, uh absolutely treehouse, and there's a
little place in the treehouse where theoretically he could hide.
So maybe there was a time or two where he
just was doing such a good job that I could
not see any piece of him.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Enough to see from the ground. Yeah, and I have.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I mean, there's a couple of different angles you can
look when you're walking around the enclosure. Trust me, I've tried.
But this last time, finally got to see the red panda.
And not only did I get to see him, I
got to see him in action. He was just kind
of walking back and forth. And man, what a beautiful
animal that that just like the rich color of red.
That that red panda is a beautiful animal is super cool. Said, well,
(01:38):
that was what was crazy good about my weekend. I
saw a couple of muskrats. Did you see my Facebook video?
Do you see how I put on Facebook?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
But I did not. I'll check it out. We were
on a walk.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
We were on a walk and uh, my wife is like,
there's a fury thing on the lake. Because the lake
was mostly ice, there's a furrief thing on the lake.
I was like where and then I saw it was
like beaver, It's not a beaver. Look closer, like, that's
way too small to be a beaver. And then I
saw the tail and it's like a rat tail, not
a not a beaver tail. So it's a muskrat. I
(02:12):
saw a couple of muskrats. Apparently that's probably a male
and female muskrat. Nice.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
So that was good. Yes, it was a good day
to get on a walk. You saw it yesterday? Yeah,
so you saw a muskrat, but not a groundhog. No,
I didn't. I didn't see a groundhog.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Thanks. Thanks for reminding me that yesterday was groundhog Day.
It was In case you forgot, I celebrated, did you
What did you celebrate?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Like?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
How did you celebrate?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You want to have this conversation right now.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I mean, I'd like to get into the news at
some point, but I'd rather talk about this than tariffs.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
So yeah, okay, I'll try to tell it to you
as briefly as I can. Yesterday morning, you know, I was,
I was getting ready for church. It was eight oh
five in the morning. And sometimes you have bathroom time.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Right, Sometimes you have bathroom time. Sometimes when you get
ready in the morning, you have bathroom time. You like
to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah right, yeah, you try to go to the bathroom
before you get going. Healthy thing for humans to do.
I think, well, I was quite regular yesterday morning. And
let me tell you exactly how okay? You know you
have your smart device when you when when you try
to be regular, I suppose they recommend that you don't
do more than ten minutes because that's not helping about
of screen time at a time. Yes, sure, no, I
(03:17):
mean I mean regular.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Now that's you get to the point here, pal, Well,
come on, snagge.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Am I recommended.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
In the YouTube recommended there was a live stream of
the Groundhog's Day at Punk Satani, and I tuned in
just at the right time to just see how stupid
and lame that holiday is.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Dumbest I saw the Gobbler Knob.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I too, I live streamed right to Gobbler's Knob and
all of these schmucks in their tuxedos and there. I mean,
give me a break that holiday. Put it in a
spaceship and send it to the moon. Belief fill here, No,
don't send it to the moon. I like the moon
too much. Put that thing out into the stratosphere. Yeah,
Phil can stay. I feel so bad for Phil. That
(04:01):
guy's just locked in his little chamber. He's just hanging
out there. Hopefully he had enough oxygen, because I can
tell you I'm a little worried that he didn't, because
then when they pull him out, you know what they
you know what he did when they when they pulled
him out of that place, he just laid down on
the little platform. Something was wrong with that groundhog, That's
all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
No, I think he gets handled pretty regularly. It would
be my guess.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I'm guessing he eats well. I don't think he's in
a lot of peril. I'll be honest with you, as
long as Build Deblasia doesn't accidentally drop him and kill him.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
But you know that's beside the point.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
It did happen to a groundhog once, not in Pucksatani,
but then in New York City when Build de Oblasi
decided to show up and hold the groundhog. He dropped
the groundhog. Groundhog guy from his injuries. Go back and
look at that up. We go look that up. And
if that doesn't get you angry, I come on. But
the point here is that the holiday is a big sham.
It's a giant lie, it's a conspiracy, it's it's garbage. Brother,
(04:52):
I've been saying this for years. I didn't know that
the groundhog didn't actually come out like they.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Pulled him out.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
They pull him out, he doesn't look at his shat
and then they read a pre a pre written statement
that supposedly was from a groundhog. He doesn't have a
posable thumbs that didn't come from him. Brother, what have
I been saying? Are you not listening to me? I
am not to help you.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I am now.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I was trying to help you. I didn't know, but
now you know, and now I know what.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I'm mad. I told you.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I'm ticked off, and I'm mad at Peter for having
such a dumb idea of how to replace it. That
was their moment. They blew it. They blew it.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I'm Peter. Now move out of the way.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeh you, Peter. I'm pta. Everybody's peda. I'll take some
Petera with some hummus delicious. I like me some Peter
Griffin on the TV. Yeah, Petera yo, pitera Lois. That's
a good Yeah, that's a good pat sometimes they go
out each other.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
But there's a bit that they do of like maybe
you should go to a Peter rally, and then Peter
Griffin's like, somebody's having a rally for me now, and
it goes back and forth a bit. It's really funny.
You got to go find it. I can't play on
the air though, anyway. Yeah, the bottom line here is,
you know, there are a positivity where you want to
find it in the news cycle, of course, beyond what
(06:01):
was happening at Gobbler's Knob in Punk Satanti, Pennsylvania. And
Shapiro was there. Did you see Shapiro there? Jos Shapiro
was there. He was, Yeah, he was there. You would think,
you know, a hardcore Democrat, which he really kind of isn't.
I'll be honest with you. He's not like the liberaliest
guy ever. But he's there, and he's like, come and
take it from our cold dead hands, basically to people
(06:23):
like us who are like, this is the stupidest thing
in the world. But obviously it's like people, there are
some of us that February second in Punksatani, Pennsylvania is
up there on the list of bucket items that we
need to go, much like you know New Year's Eve
in Times Square or the Fourth of July in a
highly patriotic city. I guess you know a lot of
(06:45):
people decide to go to Gobbler's Knob to enjoy those
festivities from around the country. I couldn't tell you why,
like what kind of lives those people lead, But jos
Shapiro obviously is very protective of that holiday for his
for his people. And that was the moral of that story,
was that Joshapiro showed up and basically said, if you
want to if you want to try to come and
(07:07):
take away our groundhog Day, you're gonna have to do
it from our cold dead hands. Talking about groundhog Day.
That's ridiculous. Get a better holiday, make up a better holiday.
Everything about that holiday is ridiculous. Maybe if you like
st Philadelphia and like cut it off and then scent
it into the ocean or something.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Maybe that'd be a fair trade. Maybe I'd let you
keep it. I don't know. Yeah, it's just really stupid.
And I'm glad you finally saw the light. I'm just
I'm glad. I'm glad to have some support in this room. Now.
Everything about the holiday I understand being silly, you know,
like it's we're silly to be silly. It's fun to
be silly, But to have a whole holiday organized around
all these people standing out there in the cold and
they're pulling a.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah, you're seeing the light. I'm proud of you. I'm
glad that you were able to come to your senses.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Pulling that groundhog out of that little chamber he was in.
After they after they're bloviating into the into the cold morning,
and I'm sitting there, I'm past my ten minutes of
recommended regulating. I don't what he cares, and I'm waiting
for this to happen, and I'm getting waiting waiting for what.
I had to take a quick shower afterwards, didn't have
enough time. Thank you for nothing, Groundhog's Day. I waited
(08:11):
for that. You shouldn't have I what did he say?
He said six more weeks of winter? Didn't he cares?
The squirrel stuffed his toe and we got two more
weeks of summer.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
What's the difference.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Did you know that in England the people who started
this is from like the England Ireland area, and they're
actually like it's supposed to be a hedgehog, but we
don't have hedgehogs in North America, so they turned it
into a groundhog. It's supposed to be a hedgehogs, Like
the lore is, the hedgehog tells.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You what the what the winter's supposed to do? I
don't know anyway.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Terras, Donald Trump, Mexico, Canada, all this stuff. Well, we'll
help you out here. And we're sorry for getting off
the rails here, but it's a monday. You know, what
do you want from us? What do you want from us?
And I just ate my lunch, So yeah, and stick around.
We got more coming up on news radio eleven ten KFA,
Bay Oh tarriffs and all sorts of other stuff going
(09:01):
on here.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Panama Canal, what do I say? I say Panama Canal?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You say, what, Why don't we rename it to Americana Canal?
Are we renaming everything America these days?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah? Maybe we could workshop the name a little bit.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, okay, So Marco Rubio said, yesterday I met with
the Panamanian President Jose raoulu and Molino and Foreign Minister
Javi or Choppama to make clear the United States cannot
and will not allow the Chinese Communist Party to continue
with this effective and growing control over the Panama Canal area.
We also discussed efforts to end the hemispheres mass migration
crisis and ensure fair competition for US firms. Guess what
(09:37):
happened shortly thereafter? Are you ready for this? Panama agreed
to facilitate and offer free passage to all US Navy
ships through the canal following this visit, and agreed to
end China's Panama Canal deal and leave from China's Belt
and Roade initiative from twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
That's all it took. It's over with.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
The United States has control over the Panama CANALCKEA. What
do we say about this? What are we going to
do with it?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I'm guessing put ships through there and not let China
control it would be my guess. Anyway, Now we now
they got Panama taken care of. What about these Canada
and Mexico tariffs that are supposed to go in this week?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Well?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Which country between Canada and Mexico? Mexico? Do you think, Matt,
we have bigger problems with right now between Canada and Mexico. Yep,
I suppose Mexico because of the border crisis. I would agree,
although it does feel like we are a little bit
more polar opposite with Canada these days, with the way
that they're pushing back and more on that in a second.
As far as Mexico is concerned, Yes, what happened this morning?
(10:38):
Donald Trump put on his truth social and I quote,
I just spoke with President Claudia Shinbaum of Mexico. It
was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately
supply ten thousand Mexican soldiers on the border separating Mexico
in the United States. These soldiers will be specifically designated
to stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal migrants into
(10:59):
our country. We further agreed to immediately pause the anticipated
tariffs for one month, during which we will have negotiations
headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of the
Treasury Scott Descent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnik, and
high level representatives of Mexico. I look forward to participating
in these negotiations with President Steinbaum as we attempt to
(11:21):
achieve a deal between our two countries. Why don't we
just let this stuff play out like just a little
bit before we all get up in arms all week
in long. I was here in tariff this and tariff that,
and here Mexico and the United States have come to
an agreement at least for a month. Mexico's going to
supply soldiers to help out at the border, and the
United States is going to apply tariffs for a month
(11:42):
until we get like a hardline agreement on how trade
can be fair and how we can help Mexico can
help us solve our immigration or i legal migrant in
our drug trafficking problem, and we'll work on you know,
the weapons trafficking and all sorts of other stuff that
I'm sure the United States could help Mexico with. Mexico
is a very nearby US. Of course, we share thousand,
(12:04):
over one thousand miles of border, you know, but there,
it is, there, it is Now Canada, things are getting
more contention to Canada. You want to know what's going
on there. Well, even before that happened, guess what happened today?
Donald Trump called Justin Trudeau, who's still the Prime Minister
of Canada, even though he's on his way out, he's
still the guy. And you want to know something, something
(12:24):
positive must have come from it, because he said Donald
Trump that he was going to talk to him again
at two o'clock hour time today, which means they should
be talking right now. Who knows, Maybe they're fashionably relate
to their conversation. But if something comes from that conversation
during our show today, we will let you know of
the details. But earlier today Donald Trump went on his
truth social and said Canada doesn't even allow US banks
(12:45):
to open or do business there. What's that all about?
Many such things, but it's also a drug war and
hundreds of thousands of people have died in the US
from drugs pouring through the borders of Mexico and Canada.
Just spoke to Justin Trudeau will be speaking to him
again at two So two calls in the same day,
one earliest morning, one this afternoon. After the news of
(13:07):
Claudia Scheinbaum in Mexico deciding to play some ball here,
and the news over the weekend that the Panama Canal
is now playing ball with US. Panama's playing ball with US,
I feel with some level of confidence that there's going
to be at least a temporary deal in place for
whatever the United States needs. That Trudeau is going to
at some point have to be like, Okay, we will
help you with that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
What are your demands? You want to know something else.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
The political left is sit in here saying, oh, Donald
Trump's backing down, He's losing his spine.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
What are you talking about, brother? What are you talking about? Pal?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
We're getting everything we want here, We're getting into deeper
negotiations here.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Of course, he's not gonna tear if them if they're
playing ball. Why would you do that? That doesn't make any sense.
It's the art of the deal. Donald Trump puts something
into the ether, people latch onto it. He was campaigning
on these TIFFs, right, He was talking about these tariffs
as a campaign ploy, and a lot of us were
just like, eh, I'm not sure exactly if we like
that idea. Guess what, He's been using the tariff as
(14:03):
a tool to get what we want from our neighbors.
So the United States isn't just carrying all of North America.
We actually are a part of it fairly, and we
are actually getting something from the other people around us.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
It is.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
This is why there's a book that he's attached to
called The Art of the Deal.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That's what this is.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
He loves this stuff, and I have a question ask
how much more winning will he have to do before
the political f say, okay, okay, maybe that was a
Maybe that was a good tactic because no tariffs have
been implemented, yet we're acting like it's the end of
the world. The Canadians were booing the American anthem at
the Toronto Raptors game yesterday. Uh oh, did you see that? No,
(14:44):
poor girls up there. It's in Toronto and she's singing
the national anthem, our national land. They're playing the Clippers,
so you know, you have to play the national anthem
of the team that you're playing.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Maybe they were just booing the Clippers.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
No, no, no, the national anthem started and you start
hearing the Raptor's crowd boo United States national anthem. Now
by proxy, same girl, thankfully, was also singing the Canadian
national anthem and they all started singing with her, so
she knew it wasn't personal obviously, But yeah, maybe we
have instilled some sort of national pride into Canadians all
(15:15):
of a sudden, you know, historically kind of like do
they even care they're in Canada conversation, Well, they apparently
they do. What I guess the lesson is, let's let
some of this stuff play out before we get to
ahead of our over our skis on this, right, Like,
I don't want to go head over heels trying to
break a lot of this stuff down until we know
what's happening. And so we're reporting what's happening. And for
(15:37):
all this talk about twenty five percent tariffs, there seems
there's an increasingly large dance that none of it happens.
And it will be interesting to see what the stock
markets do because they have, Like the analysis that I've
been reading today is after this Mexico conversation came out,
sounds like, uh, be ready for kind of a rebound here.
And that makes sense, right, It's like, oh, they're not
going to do tariffs. Well, bye bye bye? You know
(15:59):
that makes sense. Not that I'm an expert on this stuff?
What am I an expert on? Is there something I'm
an expert on? I sit here and I'm talk into
a hunk of metal for a living. I am I
smart about anything? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
You know about a lot of stuff. You know a
lot about greyhounds. That's first thing came to mind. That's
good dogs. Yeah, good point.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
And I was just thinking, is that n Sync song
about the stock market which one baby bye bye bye
bye bye.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
You could well the verses kind of specifically are talking
to a girl. But I mean, if you read it
like a poem, you could probably apply some of the
song to the stock market. Yeah, but you'd have to
like reado the spelling of buy are we sure? Bye
by like b u y b uy b uy.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Just hoping it's not a pump and dump scheme, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Oh, where's talk to a when you need her?
