Speaker 1 (00:00):
You get two guesses March twenty six so it's kind
of like an early spring independance.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
So what do you think about that?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
So that's not when the war ended, it's when they
declared it.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
This country's declaration of independence from another country occurred on
March twenty sixth to nineteen seventy one.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Nineteen seventy one, and so you're thinking about the timing there,
you're declaring independence. It's the beginning of spring, so you
know war is about to break out. So I feel
like it's got to be a cold place, you know,
my off.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I wouldn't say this is a cold place, okay, I
would say this is a pretty warm place.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Actually, why don't we say Trinidad and Tobagom.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
No, I'll go with let's let's go to the other hemisphere,
the other hemisphere.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
You know what's funny, I don't even know where that
hemisphere is for Trinidad is.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
That over It's in the Caribbean. It's in the Caribbean.
It was a trick.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I just wanted to make sure you knew your geography.
I'll say New Zealand. No, No, they freed themselves from
those alb lamas down there.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, I don't think they have those either.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, it's today, twenty sixth of March nineteen seventy one,
Bangladesh declared independence from Pakistan and today they're celebrating. So
if you are what do you call a bangladesh What
are they? A Bangladeshian? If you're a Bangladesher, you happy
(01:26):
Independence Day? Oh sorry, a Bangladeshi.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
A Bangladeshi. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
It doesn't matter, you know what doesn't matter. I'm just
does matter? Yeah, it matters to them. Yeah, you know
who it hurts, It hurts the pakistanis well, does it
You think Great Britain really cares on the fourth of
July if we're firing for a bunch of fireworks. Those
people don't care anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I bet there's still a couple that's sequester themselves into
quiet sadness in a dark room and brood for a while,
probably sip some tea and mutter some things under their breath.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I just feel like they have other things they need
to be worried about. My guess would be, uh, this
is early enough, so maybe there were still Pakistani Pakistan
people alive at this point in nineteen seventy one, when
this happened. I just don't know if you're living in
Pakistani you really care about Bangladesh at this point?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Who knows?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Although Bangladeshi is like a big area and a lot
of people live there, you know what. To just to
wrap this up because I don't want to bore people
with this at the top of the show, but how
many people live in Bangladesh?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Two point nine million?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
By the way, it's BEng Ghali. Benghali is what they
call them. People from Bangladesh are Bengalis.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yep. Okay, Oh, anyway, you know what the population is?
Two point nine million?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Two point nine million, Yeah, try one hundred and seventy
four million. Whoa, it's the eighth largest country in the.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
World, really, Bangladesh.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Who would have guessed? That's what I'm saying, isn't it?
Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It's ninety second in total area, So that just tells
you how dense the population actually is. Eighth, but ninety second, yeah,
ninety second in space, eighth in population. Okay, population density
is thirteenth, by the way, you know, the number one,
number one most punctuated country in density. In density, as
(03:10):
far as like the populate, I would say, you'll.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Never get this.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
It's Macaw technically, it's like it's like a Chinese, right thing. Yeah,
that Monaco, which is also number two, and that's also
kind of not fair because that's just a tiny little
city micro thing. Singapore is third, so that's like the
first legitimate country, if you will, Singapore that lands on
this list. Then Hong Kong is four, Gibraltar is five,
(03:35):
Bahrain is sixth. Again, these are generally pretty small places
geographically speaking. Vatican City, which of course is the least
populated country technically in the world, the Maldives, Malta, and
then Bangladesh, so that's the first like big country that
lands here. So yeah, it's incredibly highly populated. So there
(03:55):
you go. The more you know, uh, we'll get more
into this Atlantic are when we get to the bottom
of the hour. I gotta talk about jaz mccrockett. I
saw this yesterday, didn't talk about it, but Jasmin Crockett,
the Democratic Representative of Texas called Greg Abbott, the governor
of Texas who has been paralyzed for decades, who needs
(04:16):
a wheelchair to get around, called him governor hot wheels. Yeah,
governor hot wheels.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Is that really a negative thing.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I mean, it's it was mint derogatory. If it was,
you know, she wouldn't have said that if she was
trying to not make fun of him.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
If I was so, if I was the governor, and
you know I was on social media, I might even
have an X account that you know, says hot wheels
in there. Like I could see that being not a
negative thing. It's kind of like your calling card. Maybe
he wears like race and gloves, you know, I don't know,
what do you think?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
First of all?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
First of all, just governor hot wheels. A representative saying
this about a governor. What are your your inclination is
like I think if you're going to dish it out,
you better be able to take it. You think that's
something different than want Trump would I said, he would
not have called him governor hot Wheels. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I'm not that guy. Sorry.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I saw something that popped up here. I'm gonna talk
about later. It's crazy what the internet does. It's just like, hey,
you need to see this, and it's like, oh, I
do need to see that. I'll talk to you about
what that looks like. No, no, but uh yeah, That's
the thing is like Trump, he calls people names too.
So I don't want to get too overtly offensitive about this.
It's just kind of crazy to hear somebody talk to
(05:30):
about somebody like that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, it'd be nice if neither side did it.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
But here we are.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Well, that's true, she said. She called him governor hot wheels.
I want to play some audio from her, but she
uses some language that I can't play on the radio,
which is unfortunate. It's like, dang, Jasmine, like chill out.
But yeah, I don't know. And now she's being like
protected by Capitol police because she thinks she's being harassed
(05:59):
by people who think that that she crossed a line.
And uh, yeah, she basically said, the idea you want
to shut everybody down, that's not Fox News is BS.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
She used the real word.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
While in Congress, Jasmine, geez, take it easy. But I
do think that there's a little bit of a double
standard here, right. Uh And and you know, should you apologize?
How often do we hear politicians apologizing for anything? Now,
she didn't apologize. She refused to apologize. There. She did an
interview with Fox News. I'm trying to find good audio
(06:31):
of this, and it's I'm finding it to be fairly
difficult to to find good audio here. But essentially she says, uh,
you know, I don't know. I my big my bigger
thing here is what she said to this reporter is like,
I had a statement out. Why would I apologize when
I put out a statement? My statement was clear. The
Fox News reporter, who was Hillary Vaughan by the way,
(06:53):
said you didn't apologize though. Do you not understand how
calling Greg Abbott governor hot wheels how that's offensive to people?
And she said, I I don't understand how many times
you need me to repeat this to you? And then
Hillary Vaughn says, okay, so, but why won't you apologize?
And she said, I put out a statement, and then
Hillary Vann said, but it didn't have an apology. You
don't feel bad about making fun of someone who's in
a wheelchair. And so he said, okay, well I'm done
(07:15):
here and then walked away.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I'm done. I'm done with this.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
That's my uh, that's my Jasmine crocket Come on now.
And if she would just use not so colorful language,
it could play the audio. But she says bad words.
I can't play the radio. No, come on, Jasmine, if
you want me to play the audio and make you
famous on kfa B, you gotta.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
You gotta keep it clean for the people. I could
bleep it.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
No, no, I'm not. I'm not gonna know. I'm not
gonna tell. I'm not gonna I'm a clean boy. Okay,
I'm a you're I'm not gonna promote that kind of
language on my show. Yeah, No, no, No, foul mouthed
person's gonna get publicity, good publicity on my show.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
How dare they?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I've never I don't swear ever about anything ever, right,
squeaky clean.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
That's a lie. I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I say a lot of bad words a lot, but
you know what I never do. I don't say them
in public to people. I'm a clean boy.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I got Greg Abbott audio. He had a response to this.
What do you think Governor hot Wheel says about this?
Right like, hey, Governor hot Wheels, you just got called
Governor hot Wheels and he has a pretty i think,
profound response and will play that for you coming up next.
We're just getting started to have some fun with us
on News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Emery Sunger on News Radio eleven.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Ten kfab Again, I'm not saying there is a double standard,
because the Republicans have kind of made a living of
making nicknames for the people that are their opposition or
the people that are opposing them in general.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And I but Governor hot Wheels. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
The fact that she says that it wasn't meant to
be offensive or anything, or refuses to apologize for it
is just kind of one of those things of like,
come on, really, also, do you expect her to apologize?
Who's apologizing in politics right now? But like, why is
it offensive? Let's break that down. I don't know if
it's really patently offensive. I think you know, back in
the day, you'd call somebody wheelchair old ironsides and that
(09:14):
wasn't offensive.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Dang, but that would.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Be now oh well nowadays needs to take a chill pill.
I don't disagree we've become overtly sensitive. But if we're
talking about trying to be not hateful to one another,
and this is the political party of tolerance and inclusivity
and diversity.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Well maybe they don't want to be anymore.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
And we have a fully handicapped paraplegic governor who's been
a paraplegic for decades, who was still found a way
to be the governor of the one of the most
populated states in the Union. And we're making fun of
that disability, and you're the party of inclusivity and diversity
and tolerance. That the optics of that alone, whether this
(09:58):
is patently offensive or not, the optics of that alone
make you sound foolish, makes you sound like a dufis.
It's like, I'm the better person and I'm virtue signaling
you because you're a bad person. And if you're not
a Democrat, you're a bad person. And oh, by the way,
I'm going to make fun of this handicapped guy because
he doesn't agree with my politics.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
It's a bad look. The optics of that are awful.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Offensive or not, I do agree we need to get
less sensitive, but regardless, I got audio from Fox News
earlier today. Actually I think this was late last night.
This was Greg Abbott on Fox News talking about this,
as he was referred to as governor hot wheels.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
You had an accident a twenty six and you were
jogging and you had a very severe injury. And yes,
you are in a wheelchair, and I've gotten to know you.
You're a personal friend of mine. I take it personally
when friends of mine are attacked viciously for no reason.
And there's no way in hell that this woman and
her expost is going to convince me she meant anything
(10:57):
other than what we all believe it to be.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Okay, hold on a second. Obviously this is Sean Hannity.
Didn't clip that Shawn's question here, and you probably you
know you listen to Sean Hannity, even on the radio,
and everything. Sean is a personal friend of Greg Abbott.
I think that changes the scope of how you talk
about somebody. So you know, I don't mind what he's
saying here. It is interesting, though, because there was nothing
(11:22):
said on the other end when you know we're calling
Joe Biden sleepy or making fun of his you know,
cognitive disabilities as he ages. You know, I feel like
we need the world's smallest violin to be playing when
Shawn's talking. Oh, oh, Sean, he was so I bet
I bet he could hardly get through his day yesterday.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Oh he couldn't stop thinking about it, Oh, Sean. I
feel bad for Sean Hannity the most poor.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Guyeh, Okay, you've made your point. But I again, I'm
just saying that I can understand why he would be
a little bit more on the offended side because this
is a personal friend of his.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I'm gonna go cry.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
He if somebody made fun of you, even if otherwise
it was somebody else, I might laugh.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I might stick up for you.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I might be like, hey, you don't call him plaid
shirt four eyes.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Oh, come on, you could do worse than that. Say
something about my character? What about this?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Look at those double chin it's like eight chins, eight
chins McGee over here, Yeah, eight chins McGee. But you
manufacture that. It's not how you actually look. You're doing
that intentionally.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
This is how I normally look. Yeah, this is not
how it looks. All right.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Greg Abbott and Sean Hannity talking last night about Greg
Abbott being called governor hot wheels by Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Your reaction, Well, Shawn, is another day and another disaster
by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision,
no policy, that have nothing to sell but hate, and
Americans are.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Not buying it.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
One reason why Texas is going to remain red and
why Republicans are going to continue to win elections across
the country. The fact Sean is that Texas is actually
in direct contrast.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
To what she was talking about.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Texas has ranked number one for the most new jobs
in America over the past month, number one for the
most new jobs over the past year, and.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
For several years.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Texas ranks number one for the most new economic development
projects for thirteen years in a row. CEOs who run
businesses have ranked Texas the best state for doing business
for twenty years in a row. And Texas is in
the vanguard as it concerns the future of the United States,
such as space exploration, such as artificial intelligence such as
(13:31):
semi conductors, as well as power generation. The bottom line
is that Republican states like Texas are leading the way
and with comments like this by Democrats, we will just
leave them in the dust in future elections.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I don't disagree with him there. You can't tell me
that you are the party of tolerance and diversity and
inclusion and inclusivity and all the key demographic keywords that
Democrats like to view us to virtue signal people that
aren't them. But you can't say that and then call
a guy in a wheelchair governor hot wheels. That's fair,
(14:08):
And I don't mind a little spiciness in politics, you know.
And if the Republicans are gonna dish it, they just
should be willing to take it in some regard. But
I don't remember hearing Greg Abbott call anybody names, especially
anybody that you know is suffering from a physical disability. Now,
what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
We can get a little less hateful. But when he
brings up all the statistics like that, and the fact
(14:30):
that outside of like Austin and maybe another couple of pockets,
maybe around Houston, maybe around Dallas, those big metropolitan areas,
there's gonna be some blue in there, and that's how
somebody like Jasmine Crockett gets elected.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
But that's a red state.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It governs like a red state, it operates like a
red state, and it's going to remain a red state.
And you're not seeing a lot of red states flip blue,
but you're seeing red states get redder. And almost every
single county across the country during this last presidential election
somehow went a little or read especially across all demographics.
I don't know if this is going to help the
(15:04):
Democrats calling people names like this. This is exactly the
kind of thing that they went out of their way
to demonize from the trumpetministration.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Saying, oh, they're just hateful people.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
So, by the way, they referenced a few different things
that she posted, And I don't know, I just I
think that she's I think she probably if she had
to do it over again, she wouldn't say that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
But alas, what do you do? What are you? What
are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
She's she's I'm sure that there are Democrats out there
that are cheering for her in that situation, But.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Hn, what do you think? I mean?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I don't want to I don't want to be I
don't want to be out out here, you know, speaking
out of turn. I feel like it's not that big
a deal. But at the same time, it's just really
a situation where somebody who's a younger Democratic representative is
trying to make some loud noises about things that she
disagrees with in the state that she's from. And it's
(16:03):
not really even like a conversation because she is in
the United States represent House representatives. There's nothing that she
does in Washington that is overtly going to work together
with Republicans governing Texas. If she wanted to do that,
she needed to be in the state legislature of Texas.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
But this is what they do for attention.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I mean, Jasmin Crockett's been I've said her name more
in the last half hour than I have in the
first two years I've worked here, and that's got to
mean something for her.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I just think it turns my stomach when I see
pundits and politicians working together to feign outrage over something.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I'm over it. I'm over it.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I don't really think this is that big of an insult.
I really don't.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
You're probably right, and if you're Jasmine, why would you
ever apologize anyway?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Nobody's apologizing politics.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I mean, let's face it, the guy in the White
House is basically branded.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Never apologize. Also, jaysent this in I don't disagree with this.
This is a huge marketing opportunity for Hot Wheels. Get
him a branded chairduse some AI generated race video clips,
and have him be like the voice of Hot Wheels
or something. I'm all in on that. I still have
some Hot Wheels capitalize. I'm with you, Jay. Unfortunately, I
think the political implications, and you know, you don't want
(17:11):
to upset any Democratic parents who might be bought one
of them by their kids some hot wheels and they
don't want that message. And you know Matchbox is still
kind of hanging out there ready to take the leftovers.
So you know, you've got to be a little careful
with whom you're aligning with. Maybe we can bring everyone
together and say, Jasmine gets a car, and uh, you know,
Governor Abbott gets a car, and we put them on
(17:33):
like some Texas themed track or something, and everybody can
sing Kumbaya while we're bonding over hot wheels just like
the old days.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Can we can we have a drum circle.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
No Tude twenty nine Emory Songer with you, Matt Case
and my producer. We got plenty more. We'll open the
phones if you want to talk about this or anything else.
We'll talk more about this signal app issue because the
Atlanta keeps dropping bombs on us on this literally fake
Regily on news radio eleven ten kfab Emery's songer. We're
(18:04):
doing the best that we can to manage our time. Sometimes,
you know, you just feel a little bit short circuited. Well,
it's okay, because that's why I have you. You're you're
here to listen to me and uh talk with me
as well, and that's why the phone lines are open
at four ROH two five five eight eleven ten. Four
H two five five eight eleven ten. We're talking about
Jasmine Crockett, representative from the Dallas area in Washington d
c UH in the House of Representatives, and she called
(18:27):
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who is a paraplegic and has
been since the eighties, called him Governor hot wheels to
many people's ire and also to some people's in the
Democratic Party saying, oh go, Jasmine, call them names. It's weird.
I don't know, but that's what we're talking about. Joe's
on the phone line to talk about it. Four ROH
two five five eight eleven ten. Joe, what do you
(18:48):
think about this?
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Well, you know, well, we have people hired their handicapped,
but they're able to work and contribute. And I know
if I made fun of one of them and called
them a name, or even older people, you don't called
somebody gray beard or you know, fatty or whatever, I'd
be an hr and I'd be fired.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
That is one hundred percent true, one hundred percent true.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You're right. I mean, I guess politics has a double standard, right. Hey,
I don't know why I guess so, uh maybe that's uh.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I guess that's part of the power you get when
you get elected by people.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I suppose.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
But Joe, that's a great point. Thanks for calling in man,
Thanks for listening to us.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Thanks, have a good day.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
He's right.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
If I called you names and you went to the
HR and said they called me names, it was something
I would do, by the way, and guess what they
would call me in and I would get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, so don't trigger me or you're done for okay,
Oh take it easy. Yeah, that's right. You look very
nice today. Thank you. What else?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Your glasses look nice and shiny? Well, okay, and answer
the phone for I.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Uh. This is what we do. We have a lot
of fun.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
We have a lot of fun on this Two thirty
nine is the time, and if you want to call
in four h two five, five, eight eleven ten. We
also have an email emory at KFB dot com. Patrick
said Democrat parents don't buy hot wheels for the children.
They're buying gender neutral dots in doctrination, books on gender bending,
and anything they can find to go against reality, insanity.
(20:23):
Democrats hate the beautiful country that we live in. I
mean I don't know that to be a fact. I
mean I think legos, hot wheels, Lincoln logs, there are
a lot of things that I just think write a
passage for kids to have, right, I mean political parties, Eh,
I don't know. I feel like a lot of Democrats
(20:43):
like good solid cars. Why wouldn't you buy your kid
like many cars to play with? Bottom line verdict, what
do you think?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Well, I don't know. I kind of have my vertic
sure that what's your verdict? I don't think it's that
big of an insult, I think, and I think that
this is just, Yeah, it just kind of turns my
stomach when I see politicians and pundits, you know, walking
hand in hand, acting like they're so outraged by something
just to just to win, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
But it's yeah, but it's only outrage against the people
on the other side, you know, if it was happening.
I mean, it's not it's not fair. Now, nobody in
politics is fair, but nobody's gonna get it right all
the time. Nobody's going to be right about everything all
the time. Nobody apologizes for being wrong or admits that
they were wrong. Nobody does.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
But here we are in twenty twenty five, because of
course you're gonna have that news network and that guy
Feane outrage because it's a slam dunk for his party.
And I don't like the news outlets being involved so
deeply hand and fist with politicians.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, but you can say that, but that's the whole
point of what we're doing now. I mean, it's both ways,
and it's not good, it's not hell, it's both sides.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
They do the same thing.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
They enable one side over the other, and they do
that because that's what's gonna get the h the audience,
the viewing audience, that's what's gonna get them riled up.
So yeah, you know the people watching Hannity's show. And
this is no disrespect to Sean, but he knows he's
talking to And if this was going the other direction,
this wouldn't even be discussed. That's just the unfair part
of what politics is. Same thing, MSNBC. You know what
(22:06):
they're doing. They're not They're not even talking about this.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Today, right, that's the unfair part. Of what politics is.
We get that, we understand that's how that works. It's
just too bad it's bled over into our quote unquote
news outlets.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Yeah, but come on, they're entertainment outlets. We've talked about this.
They're across a spectrum. They're not giving you information as
much as they're giving you entertainment. And it's literally talking
about the news from the angle or the slant that
you want it to be across the entire spectrum. This
goes far. I mean, you know how many news networks
there are. There's a ton of them now.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, so many. Even even beyond.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
The mainstream ones, you're gonna be able to find one
that you're like, oh, I agree with most of these people.
But it's not gonna be down the middle news. It's
telling you the news about things from a specific angle,
and that's this story is a perfect example of that,
because it's lining it up from you know, super duper
liberal all the way to the mid probably not even
mentioning this story because they don't think it's a big deal,
(23:03):
while the Republicans are weaponizing it for themselves and they
should saying listen to how callous this group that says
that they are the tolerant and diverse and inclusive party,
Yet we have one of their representatives making fun of
a paraplegic who happens to be the governor of her state.
Absolutely insane, absolutely ridiculous, and it's hypocritical. But we have
(23:29):
to be honest with ourselves. The only reason the Republicans
are talking about it is because it was a Democrat
talking about a Republican. If it was the other way around,
the roles would be one hundred percent reversed. The Republicans
wouldn't think it's a big deal, and the Democrats would
be going crazy. Anyway, it's two forty five. We'll have
more on the way. Stick around. We love talking to
you here on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Emery Sunger on news Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Fairly offensive, But if politics has become this and we
weaponize each other's language, then that's just the way it is.
And I'm just kind of okay with both sides playing
by the same rules, even if it is a bit crass.
But you can't get mad at Donald Trump and his
rhetoric when you have somebody like did you remember what
she said? What Jasmine said? I have Jasmine. I have
(24:19):
a quote here when she was talking. I remember her
and Marjorie got into it a little while ago. I
remember that, you know what she remember what she said.
She was trying to clarify the limits on personal comments
because they were going back and forth because Marjorie Taylor
Green said something like, I think your fake eyelashes are
messing up what you're reading. Remember when Marjorie said that,
(24:43):
and Jasmine was like, okay, and then she said Committee
Chairman James Comer said that that remark did not violate
House protocol even if yeah, we're getting a little personal there,
your fake eyelashes are getting in the way of what
you're reading. And then Jasmine said, okay, So to clarify
the limit on personal comments. If someone on this committee
(25:03):
then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde, bad built, butch body,
that would not be engaging in personalities.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Correct. She was just clarifying.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
And then Kumber was like, uh what now come again?
Uh what'd you say? And of course you know I
got some headlines forget about that, right, we didn't really
I forget that was Jasmine who did that. But she's
not afraid to mix it up and you know what,
I'm okay with it. To be honest with you, I
just I if that's what you're going to be known for,
(25:34):
then you can't call other people out for it. So
if Jasmine gets, you know, her appearance, look called out
because she's been dishing it okay, fair game is also
a fair game for her to respond to that. And
that's politics and America, baby, that's what we like to see. Also,
the news that I was kind of like distracted by
was it is being reported by John Rothstein, who is
(25:58):
a college basketball Insiders Sports. Within the last hour or two,
he said Omaha's Chris Crutchfield is finalizing a contract extension
through the twenty twenty nine to twenty thirty season, and
he would put crutch Field near the top of the
Summit League in terms of salary and incentives.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
This is this is great.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
You would think after the job Chris Crutchfield did, and
considering what we talked about with college basketball especially, he'd
be a guy that you know, could graduate maybe to
like a bigger conference or the next level of conference,
if you will. I don't know what that would look like.
But instead it sounds like he's wanting to stay in Omaha.
I'm not surprised by that, but it is kind of
a nice change of pace from what we've been seeing
(26:36):
in college hoops.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
That's great move, that's great news for a program that's
on the move, and that continuity is only going to help.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
And that's going to keep players too, Right, because the
coaching changes, you basically just have to rebuild the entire
roster when.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
That happens these days, you know, I mean.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Look at Drake and Iowa, and we'll look at Creighton
being able to keep Greg McDermott all these years, being
able to move from the Zuri Valley to the Big
East and still be a powerful team in the Big East.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I mean, yeah, how cool is that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
They're not all built that way though. Man, They're not
all built where they want to be here. They want
to hang out and they want to build something special
at a school. You know, kind of like that, kind
of like it or a few in Gonzaga. Okay, Now,
he's the example of this. He took a program that
was somewhat relevant at a mid major level. He made
(27:27):
them matter on a national level, not just in winning games,
but also on the recruiting front. I mean, he's been
able to recruit some major players around the country and
gotten them to be at Gonzaga. And you know, they've
fallen just short of winning a national title a few times,
but they definitely have been a player on a major
stage every single year. And it's pretty fascinating, pretty fascinating
(27:50):
what he's been able to do because he was willing
to stay there. I just don't think many coaches are
built like that anymore, where they're just like, this is
my school and I want to stay here. I was
talking about this morning on my eye was about Northern.
I was coach Ben Jacobson. He was the coach when
Ali for Okbanesh and that team beat Kansas and went
to the Sweet sixteen. They've danced around with the Sweet
sixteen a couple of times since then. I've been really
(28:11):
successful for their size and out of a Missouri Valley
conference that's becoming, I hate to say it like this,
but less and less relevant on a national stage. Once
wichitass State, and once Creighton left, once Saint Louis left,
you know, the big brands of that conference no longer
in it. But he's been willing to stay in Cedar
Falls and coach that team and try to keep them successful.
(28:33):
So I don't know, it's just nice to hear that.
So congrats to coach crutch Field. If that indeed is
exactly what is happening, it's great news to have that
continuity staying with the MAVs.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
How do you.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Grade, by the way, now that we're sitting here heading
into the sweet sixteen, your interest in watching the game
starting tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
There's a lot of factors here. Probably for me, it
is an all time low.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Now would you attribute that to why would it be
an all time low?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Personally? Just I'm so busy.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I honestly only watched one game and it was the
Omaha game. We watched it together. I just I'm just
so busy that I and you don't have it don't
and I don't have cable either, so you don't have
a team though.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Also that's drawing you to want to pay attention to it. Yeah,
there's really not an adoptable team here, you know, like
it's there's not like a Cinderella I mean by you
kind of because they're kind of new to the Big twelve,
they kind of feel like they're a smaller school. But
BWAYU isn't a small school by any means at the
Tator Todd angle, Yeah, I mean I'm team Tater Todd
(29:39):
at this point. I like Maryland because it's been a
while since they've been super great. It'd be cool to
see them beat Florida tomorrow. Obviously, you have Duke in
Cooper Flag and a lot of people would like to see
him go deeper in the tournament. He's a great player.
I mean, he's really fun to watch. Like Caleb Love
in Arizona, that should be a fun matchup. And then
John Calli Party has the law was seated team left
(30:01):
and that is Arkansas. I wouldn't call them a Cinderella
by any means, but yeah, they're at least kind of
a fun newish team to roof for, even though they've
actually been in the Sweet sixteen multiple times here in
the last five years, even with different coaches.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Arkansas is one of those teams, not a blue blood,
but like they're always kind of floating around. You forget
about it, They're always hanging around. They won a couple
then they want at least won Natty in the nineties.
They're really good.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Yeah, and then Caliparti being there now they can build
on that brand. And then the other four games on Friday,
Ole Miss in Michigan State, Chris Beard and ole Miss
trying to beat Tom Izzo' Michigan State. That's actually a
juicy matchup. Kentucky and Tennessee is a good SEC battle.
Michigan in Auburn, number one overall seed. Michigan's outplayed expectations
this year. And then Purdue in Houston. And Purdue is
(30:46):
the one team left that their entire rotation are all
guys who actually were recruited by Purdue. They don't have
a transfer that plays for them, which is pretty interesting. Well,
head into Greenland Talk next on News Radio eleven to
in KFA ME
You get two guesses March twenty six so it's kind
of like an early spring independance.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
So what do you think about that?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
So that's not when the war ended, it's when they
declared it.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
This country's declaration of independence from another country occurred on
March twenty sixth to nineteen seventy one.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Nineteen seventy one, and so you're thinking about the timing there,
you're declaring independence. It's the beginning of spring, so you
know war is about to break out. So I feel
like it's got to be a cold place, you know,
my off.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I wouldn't say this is a cold place, okay, I
would say this is a pretty warm place.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Actually, why don't we say Trinidad and Tobagom.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
No, I'll go with let's let's go to the other hemisphere,
the other hemisphere.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
You know what's funny, I don't even know where that
hemisphere is for Trinidad is.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
That over It's in the Caribbean. It's in the Caribbean.
It was a trick.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I just wanted to make sure you knew your geography.
I'll say New Zealand. No, No, they freed themselves from
those alb lamas down there.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, I don't think they have those either.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, it's today, twenty sixth of March nineteen seventy one,
Bangladesh declared independence from Pakistan and today they're celebrating. So
if you are what do you call a bangladesh What
are they? A Bangladeshian? If you're a Bangladesher, you happy
(01:26):
Independence Day? Oh sorry, a Bangladeshi.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
A Bangladeshi. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
It doesn't matter, you know what doesn't matter. I'm just
does matter? Yeah, it matters to them. Yeah, you know
who it hurts, It hurts the pakistanis well, does it
You think Great Britain really cares on the fourth of
July if we're firing for a bunch of fireworks. Those
people don't care anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I bet there's still a couple that's sequester themselves into
quiet sadness in a dark room and brood for a while,
probably sip some tea and mutter some things under their breath.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I just feel like they have other things they need
to be worried about. My guess would be, uh, this
is early enough, so maybe there were still Pakistani Pakistan
people alive at this point in nineteen seventy one, when
this happened. I just don't know if you're living in
Pakistani you really care about Bangladesh at this point?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Who knows?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Although Bangladeshi is like a big area and a lot
of people live there, you know what. To just to
wrap this up because I don't want to bore people
with this at the top of the show, but how
many people live in Bangladesh?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Two point nine million?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
By the way, it's BEng Ghali. Benghali is what they
call them. People from Bangladesh are Bengalis.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yep. Okay, Oh, anyway, you know what the population is?
Two point nine million?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Two point nine million, Yeah, try one hundred and seventy
four million. Whoa, it's the eighth largest country in the.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
World, really, Bangladesh.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Who would have guessed? That's what I'm saying, isn't it?
Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It's ninety second in total area, So that just tells
you how dense the population actually is. Eighth, but ninety second, yeah,
ninety second in space, eighth in population. Okay, population density
is thirteenth, by the way, you know, the number one,
number one most punctuated country in density. In density, as
(03:10):
far as like the populate, I would say, you'll.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Never get this.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
It's Macaw technically, it's like it's like a Chinese, right thing. Yeah,
that Monaco, which is also number two, and that's also
kind of not fair because that's just a tiny little
city micro thing. Singapore is third, so that's like the
first legitimate country, if you will, Singapore that lands on
this list. Then Hong Kong is four, Gibraltar is five,
(03:35):
Bahrain is sixth. Again, these are generally pretty small places
geographically speaking. Vatican City, which of course is the least
populated country technically in the world, the Maldives, Malta, and
then Bangladesh, so that's the first like big country that
lands here. So yeah, it's incredibly highly populated. So there
(03:55):
you go. The more you know, uh, we'll get more
into this Atlantic are when we get to the bottom
of the hour. I gotta talk about jaz mccrockett. I
saw this yesterday, didn't talk about it, but Jasmin Crockett,
the Democratic Representative of Texas called Greg Abbott, the governor
of Texas who has been paralyzed for decades, who needs
(04:16):
a wheelchair to get around, called him governor hot wheels. Yeah,
governor hot wheels.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Is that really a negative thing.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I mean, it's it was mint derogatory. If it was,
you know, she wouldn't have said that if she was
trying to not make fun of him.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
If I was so, if I was the governor, and
you know I was on social media, I might even
have an X account that you know, says hot wheels
in there. Like I could see that being not a
negative thing. It's kind of like your calling card. Maybe
he wears like race and gloves, you know, I don't know,
what do you think?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
First of all?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
First of all, just governor hot wheels. A representative saying
this about a governor. What are your your inclination is
like I think if you're going to dish it out,
you better be able to take it. You think that's
something different than want Trump would I said, he would
not have called him governor hot Wheels. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I'm not that guy. Sorry.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I saw something that popped up here. I'm gonna talk
about later. It's crazy what the internet does. It's just like, hey,
you need to see this, and it's like, oh, I
do need to see that. I'll talk to you about
what that looks like. No, no, but uh yeah, That's
the thing is like Trump, he calls people names too.
So I don't want to get too overtly offensitive about this.
It's just kind of crazy to hear somebody talk to
(05:30):
about somebody like that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, it'd be nice if neither side did it.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
But here we are.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Well, that's true, she said. She called him governor hot wheels.
I want to play some audio from her, but she
uses some language that I can't play on the radio,
which is unfortunate. It's like, dang, Jasmine, like chill out.
But yeah, I don't know. And now she's being like
protected by Capitol police because she thinks she's being harassed
(05:59):
by people who think that that she crossed a line.
And uh, yeah, she basically said, the idea you want
to shut everybody down, that's not Fox News is BS.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
She used the real word.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
While in Congress, Jasmine, geez, take it easy. But I
do think that there's a little bit of a double
standard here, right. Uh And and you know, should you apologize?
How often do we hear politicians apologizing for anything? Now,
she didn't apologize. She refused to apologize. There. She did an
interview with Fox News. I'm trying to find good audio
(06:31):
of this, and it's I'm finding it to be fairly
difficult to to find good audio here. But essentially she says, uh,
you know, I don't know. I my big my bigger
thing here is what she said to this reporter is like,
I had a statement out. Why would I apologize when
I put out a statement? My statement was clear. The
Fox News reporter, who was Hillary Vaughan by the way,
(06:53):
said you didn't apologize though. Do you not understand how
calling Greg Abbott governor hot wheels how that's offensive to people?
And she said, I I don't understand how many times
you need me to repeat this to you? And then
Hillary Vaughn says, okay, so, but why won't you apologize?
And she said, I put out a statement, and then
Hillary Vann said, but it didn't have an apology. You
don't feel bad about making fun of someone who's in
a wheelchair. And so he said, okay, well I'm done
(07:15):
here and then walked away.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I'm done. I'm done with this.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
That's my uh, that's my Jasmine crocket Come on now.
And if she would just use not so colorful language,
it could play the audio. But she says bad words.
I can't play the radio. No, come on, Jasmine, if
you want me to play the audio and make you
famous on kfa B, you gotta.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
You gotta keep it clean for the people. I could
bleep it.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
No, no, I'm not. I'm not gonna know. I'm not
gonna tell. I'm not gonna I'm a clean boy. Okay,
I'm a you're I'm not gonna promote that kind of
language on my show. Yeah, No, no, No, foul mouthed
person's gonna get publicity, good publicity on my show.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
How dare they?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I've never I don't swear ever about anything ever, right,
squeaky clean.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
That's a lie. I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I say a lot of bad words a lot, but
you know what I never do. I don't say them
in public to people. I'm a clean boy.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I got Greg Abbott audio. He had a response to this.
What do you think Governor hot Wheel says about this?
Right like, hey, Governor hot Wheels, you just got called
Governor hot Wheels and he has a pretty i think,
profound response and will play that for you coming up next.
We're just getting started to have some fun with us
on News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Emery Sunger on News Radio eleven.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Ten kfab Again, I'm not saying there is a double standard,
because the Republicans have kind of made a living of
making nicknames for the people that are their opposition or
the people that are opposing them in general.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And I but Governor hot Wheels. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
The fact that she says that it wasn't meant to
be offensive or anything, or refuses to apologize for it
is just kind of one of those things of like,
come on, really, also, do you expect her to apologize?
Who's apologizing in politics right now? But like, why is
it offensive? Let's break that down. I don't know if
it's really patently offensive. I think you know, back in
the day, you'd call somebody wheelchair old ironsides and that
(09:14):
wasn't offensive.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Dang, but that would.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Be now oh well nowadays needs to take a chill pill.
I don't disagree we've become overtly sensitive. But if we're
talking about trying to be not hateful to one another,
and this is the political party of tolerance and inclusivity
and diversity.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Well maybe they don't want to be anymore.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
And we have a fully handicapped paraplegic governor who's been
a paraplegic for decades, who was still found a way
to be the governor of the one of the most
populated states in the Union. And we're making fun of
that disability, and you're the party of inclusivity and diversity
and tolerance. That the optics of that alone, whether this
(09:58):
is patently offensive or not, the optics of that alone
make you sound foolish, makes you sound like a dufis.
It's like, I'm the better person and I'm virtue signaling
you because you're a bad person. And if you're not
a Democrat, you're a bad person. And oh, by the way,
I'm going to make fun of this handicapped guy because
he doesn't agree with my politics.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
It's a bad look. The optics of that are awful.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Offensive or not, I do agree we need to get
less sensitive, but regardless, I got audio from Fox News
earlier today. Actually I think this was late last night.
This was Greg Abbott on Fox News talking about this,
as he was referred to as governor hot wheels.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
You had an accident a twenty six and you were
jogging and you had a very severe injury. And yes,
you are in a wheelchair, and I've gotten to know you.
You're a personal friend of mine. I take it personally
when friends of mine are attacked viciously for no reason.
And there's no way in hell that this woman and
her expost is going to convince me she meant anything
(10:57):
other than what we all believe it to be.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Okay, hold on a second. Obviously this is Sean Hannity.
Didn't clip that Shawn's question here, and you probably you
know you listen to Sean Hannity, even on the radio,
and everything. Sean is a personal friend of Greg Abbott.
I think that changes the scope of how you talk
about somebody. So you know, I don't mind what he's
saying here. It is interesting, though, because there was nothing
(11:22):
said on the other end when you know we're calling
Joe Biden sleepy or making fun of his you know,
cognitive disabilities as he ages. You know, I feel like
we need the world's smallest violin to be playing when
Shawn's talking. Oh, oh, Sean, he was so I bet
I bet he could hardly get through his day yesterday.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Oh he couldn't stop thinking about it, Oh, Sean. I
feel bad for Sean Hannity the most poor.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Guyeh, Okay, you've made your point. But I again, I'm
just saying that I can understand why he would be
a little bit more on the offended side because this
is a personal friend of his.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I'm gonna go cry.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
He if somebody made fun of you, even if otherwise
it was somebody else, I might laugh.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I might stick up for you.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I might be like, hey, you don't call him plaid
shirt four eyes.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Oh, come on, you could do worse than that. Say
something about my character? What about this?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Look at those double chin it's like eight chins, eight
chins McGee over here, Yeah, eight chins McGee. But you
manufacture that. It's not how you actually look. You're doing
that intentionally.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
This is how I normally look. Yeah, this is not
how it looks. All right.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Greg Abbott and Sean Hannity talking last night about Greg
Abbott being called governor hot wheels by Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Your reaction, Well, Shawn, is another day and another disaster
by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision,
no policy, that have nothing to sell but hate, and
Americans are.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Not buying it.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
One reason why Texas is going to remain red and
why Republicans are going to continue to win elections across
the country. The fact Sean is that Texas is actually
in direct contrast.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
To what she was talking about.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Texas has ranked number one for the most new jobs
in America over the past month, number one for the
most new jobs over the past year, and.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
For several years.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Texas ranks number one for the most new economic development
projects for thirteen years in a row. CEOs who run
businesses have ranked Texas the best state for doing business
for twenty years in a row. And Texas is in
the vanguard as it concerns the future of the United States,
such as space exploration, such as artificial intelligence such as
(13:31):
semi conductors, as well as power generation. The bottom line
is that Republican states like Texas are leading the way
and with comments like this by Democrats, we will just
leave them in the dust in future elections.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I don't disagree with him there. You can't tell me
that you are the party of tolerance and diversity and
inclusion and inclusivity and all the key demographic keywords that
Democrats like to view us to virtue signal people that
aren't them. But you can't say that and then call
a guy in a wheelchair governor hot wheels. That's fair,
(14:08):
And I don't mind a little spiciness in politics, you know.
And if the Republicans are gonna dish it, they just
should be willing to take it in some regard. But
I don't remember hearing Greg Abbott call anybody names, especially
anybody that you know is suffering from a physical disability. Now,
what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
We can get a little less hateful. But when he
brings up all the statistics like that, and the fact
(14:30):
that outside of like Austin and maybe another couple of pockets,
maybe around Houston, maybe around Dallas, those big metropolitan areas,
there's gonna be some blue in there, and that's how
somebody like Jasmine Crockett gets elected.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
But that's a red state.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It governs like a red state, it operates like a
red state, and it's going to remain a red state.
And you're not seeing a lot of red states flip blue,
but you're seeing red states get redder. And almost every
single county across the country during this last presidential election
somehow went a little or read especially across all demographics.
I don't know if this is going to help the
(15:04):
Democrats calling people names like this. This is exactly the
kind of thing that they went out of their way
to demonize from the trumpetministration.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Saying, oh, they're just hateful people.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
So, by the way, they referenced a few different things
that she posted, And I don't know, I just I
think that she's I think she probably if she had
to do it over again, she wouldn't say that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
But alas, what do you do? What are you? What
are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
She's she's I'm sure that there are Democrats out there
that are cheering for her in that situation, But.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Hn, what do you think? I mean?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I don't want to I don't want to be I
don't want to be out out here, you know, speaking
out of turn. I feel like it's not that big
a deal. But at the same time, it's just really
a situation where somebody who's a younger Democratic representative is
trying to make some loud noises about things that she
disagrees with in the state that she's from. And it's
(16:03):
not really even like a conversation because she is in
the United States represent House representatives. There's nothing that she
does in Washington that is overtly going to work together
with Republicans governing Texas. If she wanted to do that,
she needed to be in the state legislature of Texas.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
But this is what they do for attention.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I mean, Jasmin Crockett's been I've said her name more
in the last half hour than I have in the
first two years I've worked here, and that's got to
mean something for her.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I just think it turns my stomach when I see
pundits and politicians working together to feign outrage over something.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I'm over it. I'm over it.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I don't really think this is that big of an insult.
I really don't.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
You're probably right, and if you're Jasmine, why would you
ever apologize anyway?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Nobody's apologizing politics.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I mean, let's face it, the guy in the White
House is basically branded.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Never apologize. Also, jaysent this in I don't disagree with this.
This is a huge marketing opportunity for Hot Wheels. Get
him a branded chairduse some AI generated race video clips,
and have him be like the voice of Hot Wheels
or something. I'm all in on that. I still have
some Hot Wheels capitalize. I'm with you, Jay. Unfortunately, I
think the political implications, and you know, you don't want
(17:11):
to upset any Democratic parents who might be bought one
of them by their kids some hot wheels and they
don't want that message. And you know Matchbox is still
kind of hanging out there ready to take the leftovers.
So you know, you've got to be a little careful
with whom you're aligning with. Maybe we can bring everyone
together and say, Jasmine gets a car, and uh, you know,
Governor Abbott gets a car, and we put them on
(17:33):
like some Texas themed track or something, and everybody can
sing Kumbaya while we're bonding over hot wheels just like
the old days.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Can we can we have a drum circle.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
No Tude twenty nine Emory Songer with you, Matt Case
and my producer. We got plenty more. We'll open the
phones if you want to talk about this or anything else.
We'll talk more about this signal app issue because the
Atlanta keeps dropping bombs on us on this literally fake
Regily on news radio eleven ten kfab Emery's songer. We're
(18:04):
doing the best that we can to manage our time. Sometimes,
you know, you just feel a little bit short circuited. Well,
it's okay, because that's why I have you. You're you're
here to listen to me and uh talk with me
as well, and that's why the phone lines are open
at four ROH two five five eight eleven ten. Four
H two five five eight eleven ten. We're talking about
Jasmine Crockett, representative from the Dallas area in Washington d
c UH in the House of Representatives, and she called
(18:27):
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who is a paraplegic and has
been since the eighties, called him Governor hot wheels to
many people's ire and also to some people's in the
Democratic Party saying, oh go, Jasmine, call them names. It's weird.
I don't know, but that's what we're talking about. Joe's
on the phone line to talk about it. Four ROH
two five five eight eleven ten. Joe, what do you
(18:48):
think about this?
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Well, you know, well, we have people hired their handicapped,
but they're able to work and contribute. And I know
if I made fun of one of them and called
them a name, or even older people, you don't called
somebody gray beard or you know, fatty or whatever, I'd
be an hr and I'd be fired.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
That is one hundred percent true, one hundred percent true.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You're right. I mean, I guess politics has a double standard, right. Hey,
I don't know why I guess so, uh maybe that's uh.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I guess that's part of the power you get when
you get elected by people.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I suppose.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
But Joe, that's a great point. Thanks for calling in man,
Thanks for listening to us.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Thanks, have a good day.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
He's right.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
If I called you names and you went to the
HR and said they called me names, it was something
I would do, by the way, and guess what they
would call me in and I would get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, so don't trigger me or you're done for okay,
Oh take it easy. Yeah, that's right. You look very
nice today. Thank you. What else?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Your glasses look nice and shiny? Well, okay, and answer
the phone for I.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Uh. This is what we do. We have a lot
of fun.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
We have a lot of fun on this Two thirty
nine is the time, and if you want to call
in four h two five, five, eight eleven ten. We
also have an email emory at KFB dot com. Patrick
said Democrat parents don't buy hot wheels for the children.
They're buying gender neutral dots in doctrination, books on gender bending,
and anything they can find to go against reality, insanity.
(20:23):
Democrats hate the beautiful country that we live in. I
mean I don't know that to be a fact. I
mean I think legos, hot wheels, Lincoln logs, there are
a lot of things that I just think write a
passage for kids to have, right, I mean political parties, Eh,
I don't know. I feel like a lot of Democrats
(20:43):
like good solid cars. Why wouldn't you buy your kid
like many cars to play with? Bottom line verdict, what
do you think?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Well, I don't know. I kind of have my vertic
sure that what's your verdict? I don't think it's that
big of an insult, I think, and I think that
this is just, Yeah, it just kind of turns my
stomach when I see politicians and pundits, you know, walking
hand in hand, acting like they're so outraged by something
just to just to win, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
But it's yeah, but it's only outrage against the people
on the other side, you know, if it was happening.
I mean, it's not it's not fair. Now, nobody in
politics is fair, but nobody's gonna get it right all
the time. Nobody's going to be right about everything all
the time. Nobody apologizes for being wrong or admits that
they were wrong. Nobody does.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
But here we are in twenty twenty five, because of
course you're gonna have that news network and that guy
Feane outrage because it's a slam dunk for his party.
And I don't like the news outlets being involved so
deeply hand and fist with politicians.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, but you can say that, but that's the whole
point of what we're doing now. I mean, it's both ways,
and it's not good, it's not hell, it's both sides.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
They do the same thing.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
They enable one side over the other, and they do
that because that's what's gonna get the h the audience,
the viewing audience, that's what's gonna get them riled up.
So yeah, you know the people watching Hannity's show. And
this is no disrespect to Sean, but he knows he's
talking to And if this was going the other direction,
this wouldn't even be discussed. That's just the unfair part
of what politics is. Same thing, MSNBC. You know what
(22:06):
they're doing. They're not They're not even talking about this.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Today, right, that's the unfair part. Of what politics is.
We get that, we understand that's how that works. It's
just too bad it's bled over into our quote unquote
news outlets.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Yeah, but come on, they're entertainment outlets. We've talked about this.
They're across a spectrum. They're not giving you information as
much as they're giving you entertainment. And it's literally talking
about the news from the angle or the slant that
you want it to be across the entire spectrum. This
goes far. I mean, you know how many news networks
there are. There's a ton of them now.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, so many. Even even beyond.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
The mainstream ones, you're gonna be able to find one
that you're like, oh, I agree with most of these people.
But it's not gonna be down the middle news. It's
telling you the news about things from a specific angle,
and that's this story is a perfect example of that,
because it's lining it up from you know, super duper
liberal all the way to the mid probably not even
mentioning this story because they don't think it's a big deal,
(23:03):
while the Republicans are weaponizing it for themselves and they
should saying listen to how callous this group that says
that they are the tolerant and diverse and inclusive party,
Yet we have one of their representatives making fun of
a paraplegic who happens to be the governor of her state.
Absolutely insane, absolutely ridiculous, and it's hypocritical. But we have
(23:29):
to be honest with ourselves. The only reason the Republicans
are talking about it is because it was a Democrat
talking about a Republican. If it was the other way around,
the roles would be one hundred percent reversed. The Republicans
wouldn't think it's a big deal, and the Democrats would
be going crazy. Anyway, it's two forty five. We'll have
more on the way. Stick around. We love talking to
you here on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Emery Sunger on news Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Fairly offensive, But if politics has become this and we
weaponize each other's language, then that's just the way it is.
And I'm just kind of okay with both sides playing
by the same rules, even if it is a bit crass.
But you can't get mad at Donald Trump and his
rhetoric when you have somebody like did you remember what
she said? What Jasmine said? I have Jasmine. I have
(24:19):
a quote here when she was talking. I remember her
and Marjorie got into it a little while ago. I
remember that, you know what she remember what she said.
She was trying to clarify the limits on personal comments
because they were going back and forth because Marjorie Taylor
Green said something like, I think your fake eyelashes are
messing up what you're reading. Remember when Marjorie said that,
(24:43):
and Jasmine was like, okay, and then she said Committee
Chairman James Comer said that that remark did not violate
House protocol even if yeah, we're getting a little personal there,
your fake eyelashes are getting in the way of what
you're reading. And then Jasmine said, okay, So to clarify
the limit on personal comments. If someone on this committee
(25:03):
then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde, bad built, butch body,
that would not be engaging in personalities.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Correct. She was just clarifying.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
And then Kumber was like, uh what now come again?
Uh what'd you say? And of course you know I
got some headlines forget about that, right, we didn't really
I forget that was Jasmine who did that. But she's
not afraid to mix it up and you know what,
I'm okay with it. To be honest with you, I
just I if that's what you're going to be known for,
(25:34):
then you can't call other people out for it. So
if Jasmine gets, you know, her appearance, look called out
because she's been dishing it okay, fair game is also
a fair game for her to respond to that. And
that's politics and America, baby, that's what we like to see. Also,
the news that I was kind of like distracted by
was it is being reported by John Rothstein, who is
(25:58):
a college basketball Insiders Sports. Within the last hour or two,
he said Omaha's Chris Crutchfield is finalizing a contract extension
through the twenty twenty nine to twenty thirty season, and
he would put crutch Field near the top of the
Summit League in terms of salary and incentives.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
This is this is great.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
You would think after the job Chris Crutchfield did, and
considering what we talked about with college basketball especially, he'd
be a guy that you know, could graduate maybe to
like a bigger conference or the next level of conference,
if you will. I don't know what that would look like.
But instead it sounds like he's wanting to stay in Omaha.
I'm not surprised by that, but it is kind of
a nice change of pace from what we've been seeing
(26:36):
in college hoops.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
That's great move, that's great news for a program that's
on the move, and that continuity is only going to help.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
And that's going to keep players too, Right, because the
coaching changes, you basically just have to rebuild the entire
roster when.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
That happens these days, you know, I mean.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Look at Drake and Iowa, and we'll look at Creighton
being able to keep Greg McDermott all these years, being
able to move from the Zuri Valley to the Big
East and still be a powerful team in the Big East.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I mean, yeah, how cool is that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
They're not all built that way though. Man, They're not
all built where they want to be here. They want
to hang out and they want to build something special
at a school. You know, kind of like that, kind
of like it or a few in Gonzaga. Okay, Now,
he's the example of this. He took a program that
was somewhat relevant at a mid major level. He made
(27:27):
them matter on a national level, not just in winning games,
but also on the recruiting front. I mean, he's been
able to recruit some major players around the country and
gotten them to be at Gonzaga. And you know, they've
fallen just short of winning a national title a few times,
but they definitely have been a player on a major
stage every single year. And it's pretty fascinating, pretty fascinating
(27:50):
what he's been able to do because he was willing
to stay there. I just don't think many coaches are
built like that anymore, where they're just like, this is
my school and I want to stay here. I was
talking about this morning on my eye was about Northern.
I was coach Ben Jacobson. He was the coach when
Ali for Okbanesh and that team beat Kansas and went
to the Sweet sixteen. They've danced around with the Sweet
sixteen a couple of times since then. I've been really
(28:11):
successful for their size and out of a Missouri Valley
conference that's becoming, I hate to say it like this,
but less and less relevant on a national stage. Once
wichitass State, and once Creighton left, once Saint Louis left,
you know, the big brands of that conference no longer
in it. But he's been willing to stay in Cedar
Falls and coach that team and try to keep them successful.
(28:33):
So I don't know, it's just nice to hear that.
So congrats to coach crutch Field. If that indeed is
exactly what is happening, it's great news to have that
continuity staying with the MAVs.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
How do you.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Grade, by the way, now that we're sitting here heading
into the sweet sixteen, your interest in watching the game
starting tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
There's a lot of factors here. Probably for me, it
is an all time low.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Now would you attribute that to why would it be
an all time low?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Personally? Just I'm so busy.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I honestly only watched one game and it was the
Omaha game. We watched it together. I just I'm just
so busy that I and you don't have it don't
and I don't have cable either, so you don't have
a team though.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Also that's drawing you to want to pay attention to it. Yeah,
there's really not an adoptable team here, you know, like
it's there's not like a Cinderella I mean by you
kind of because they're kind of new to the Big twelve,
they kind of feel like they're a smaller school. But
BWAYU isn't a small school by any means at the
Tator Todd angle, Yeah, I mean I'm team Tater Todd
(29:39):
at this point. I like Maryland because it's been a
while since they've been super great. It'd be cool to
see them beat Florida tomorrow. Obviously, you have Duke in
Cooper Flag and a lot of people would like to see
him go deeper in the tournament. He's a great player.
I mean, he's really fun to watch. Like Caleb Love
in Arizona, that should be a fun matchup. And then
John Calli Party has the law was seated team left
(30:01):
and that is Arkansas. I wouldn't call them a Cinderella
by any means, but yeah, they're at least kind of
a fun newish team to roof for, even though they've
actually been in the Sweet sixteen multiple times here in
the last five years, even with different coaches.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Arkansas is one of those teams, not a blue blood,
but like they're always kind of floating around. You forget
about it, They're always hanging around. They won a couple
then they want at least won Natty in the nineties.
They're really good.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Yeah, and then Caliparti being there now they can build
on that brand. And then the other four games on Friday,
Ole Miss in Michigan State, Chris Beard and ole Miss
trying to beat Tom Izzo' Michigan State. That's actually a
juicy matchup. Kentucky and Tennessee is a good SEC battle.
Michigan in Auburn, number one overall seed. Michigan's outplayed expectations
this year. And then Purdue in Houston. And Purdue is
(30:46):
the one team left that their entire rotation are all
guys who actually were recruited by Purdue. They don't have
a transfer that plays for them, which is pretty interesting. Well,
