Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
An extended edition right side of Hollywood, gracious enough with
their time to stick around for one more segment debor
Floor Christian Total because there's just something I wanted to
get to and I needed their input on, and I
didn't let them leave, So they are now captors.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
No, no, we'll set the record straight. We are not
locked down.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Okay, good, thanks, We're very happy here.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
Ryan.

Speaker 5 (00:18):
Don't don't punish us anymore.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Hold up that newspaper so that we could take a
video of you being a live proof of life video
all Zach Seger's on this side of the glass helping
us along. You want to stay tuned too, special guests
coming up Bottom of the Hour. He filled it in
the mornings here the last two days, and he was
mad at himself because he forgot to promote the fact
that he's filling in as well for Joe PAGs tonight.

(00:41):
This guy is like the energizer Bunny. He is a
liquid caffeine on steroids. Lely Conway will be joining us
coming up Bottom of the Hour and we're looking forward
to that. In fact, in real time, he'll be filling
in for Joe PAGs from four pm to seven pm
Mountain Time so it'll going to get him before he
goes live with that. You'll hear it here starting at

(01:03):
six pm, right after the Dan Caplis show. Let's get
to the text. The votes are coming in, and this
is staggering because I thought these were some solid nominees.
I try to stack these up home. It's a tough decision.
And Hunter Biden, of all people, right like he had nail,
he had it. It was a layup. It was a
horrible quote about Miranda divine. Yet here we go to
the text line here, Ryan, ninety nine point nine to

(01:25):
nine percent of all Democrats, not just the politicians, are
narcissistic sociopaths. How Democrats respond to daily life as predictable
because of that fact, Well, that's a strong you're bringing
the heat.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
That's a hot take.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
I'm not saying you're all wrong about it, but I
have a different explanation to that, and that would be
for a lot of Democrats, they're secular. They are not
only indifferent toward religion organized religion, but really hostile and
politics becomes their religion, and political figures become like their gods.

(02:00):
And when they treat it with that kind of reverence,
I mean This is the type of out These are
the types of outcomes that you'll have, like transing the
kids doing crazy stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
But that's just my tick carrying out with the votes. Ryan.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Not only what everybody is saying about Hunter Biden, but
that sob has gotten away with everything. Little fing rich
kids get away with everything. Sorry, but I know that
is a fact. That's a different Texter. A lot of
facts come.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
In my way on the text, Slunk, you're so informed.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well, these this listener base smartest in talk radio in
my tin, spitting facts because they're listening to us. Come on,
they're obviously really smart. But yeah, this goes against the
whole working class, blue collar John Fetterman type Democrat, upper
Midwest russ spelt the kind I grew up with Union.

(02:46):
It just flies in the face of all of that.
When you have somebody entitled like Hunter Biden doesn't play
by anybody's rules. He's entitled, he's spoiled, he gets all
the advantages. You know, he has privilege. He's not going
to do with has to do with his last name
and whose dad was.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
By the way, if you're a journalist, you're talking to
him when your first question be you got some pretty
sweet gigs for some pretty sweet money with no qualifications.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
Can you break it down for us?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, explain to me your energy policy position on the
board of Baris Moth.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, you'd be a great first interview.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
Yeah. You guys have a reason to have him on,
and it's not just to let him talk trash about
other people.

Speaker 7 (03:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
So here go, all the votes going one way, and
you're gonna hear where they're going right now, Ryan, nobody
has ever asked any black woman to straighten their flipping hair.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
That's their choice, not ours. I'm tired of. We're not
going to call Michelle big mic on this program. Okay,
I know that's a.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Thing, but Michelle Obama, we don't want the adhaminema tex
We don't want to be like Hunter Biden.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
And you know, wise choice.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Two wrongs don't make a right.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
And I am still really worked up and angry on
behalf of Miranda Devine because like I cannot tell you
enough what a sweet person she is and again good
at her job, and he was over the target and
that's why she took all this heat from Hunter Biden.
But the votes Michelle Obama for the win says this
Texter not a compliment another I vote for Michelle Obama

(04:10):
for Full of the Week, Ryan, while they're all stupid,
but I think Michelle Obama takes the cake as the
most dumbest person ever.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Two barf emojis and two laugh cry emojis.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I was eloquently put I think you were the.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
When I see something like that, got it. You're the
most dumbest person ever. Gotta go to full w on
that one. We won't get fooled again. Okay, quoting the
who Ryan, I want to vote for Hunter because Miranda
is awesome and he's a d bag to be mean
to her, But Michelle Obama gets my vote. She's just

(04:45):
an ungrateful jerk who is nasty and hateful. Yeah, you
talk about just taking so much for granted in her life.
She marries this wonderful husband because president of the United States,
she's first lady. She gets all this first class treatment.
It's not a luxury though, you know.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
I know Netflix threw so much money at that couple.
They had no real experience, and how he would I mean,
they're sort of tangentially involved and they're not dumb begrudge
in that. But my gosh, just kiss the ground that
it is America that you had the opportunities to.

Speaker 6 (05:16):
Yes, indeed, I mean, and instead of celebrating the fact,
if you want to celebrate the fact the first black
president of the United States of America, that's something we
can all celebrate. Whether or not we thought his policies
were good for the country. It's pausing. But here's the
biggest thing is if you don't have a default of gratitude,
if you have a default in your heart of entitlement,
this is what you get.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
It is And like you said, no matter what you
think of Barack Obama, he is a historically significant figure.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
He just is.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
And take that, Yes, run with that, do a victory lap, Michelle,
be thankful for something.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
By the way, I'm old enough.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Remember the Eddie Murphy bit where Jesse Jackson was an
elected president and he would have to kind of do
serpentine on stage to avoid people shooting him. The thought was,
if you had a black president in this country, would
try to assassinate him? Right, and God forbid, I think
nothing of the kind. I don't think it's I've never
heard of any attacks or any content. And maybe the
Secret Service, maybe sure, they supported some blow level.

Speaker 6 (06:12):
Any president, but no, there was no even people that
did not vote for him who saw the bad policies
and where it was taking the United States of America,
which is we're still paying for so much of that.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Look at ACA and now I have to have substies
for it.

Speaker 6 (06:26):
But nobody was out there saying hateful things about him.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
That I was aware of.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Nobody in the mainstream right on our side.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
They would be lunatic fringe, yes, and they would be outcasts.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
And that's again how we police our own side.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Finally, Stephen Littleton retired law enforcement officers, as I vote
for Michelle Obama.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
A complete self pitying ingrate. Nicely done. Still time for
you to vote five seven, seven.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Three nine our Friday fool of the Week, although Michelle
Obama is apparently running away with it.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
I do feel like Commlin now gets the award for
this sad full of the week because you didn't get
any vote, no matter whether she's talking about three dimensional chess.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Wow, that was like stocked in them alone back in
the nineties for the Utah Jazz. Well, this one really
drew my ire because Katie Kuric is abominable in this
but this goes back for me, and I mentioned this before.
It's post nine to eleven. I believe it's early two thousands.
I'm living in Virginia. I just happened to be watching

(07:29):
the Today Show and they're talking about Andrea Yates. Andrea
Yates systemically murdered drowned each of her children, one after
the other in a bathtub. Katie Kurk had the lawyer
on for Andrea Yates and put up on the screen
the phone number that that viewers could contribute to the
legal defense fund of Andrea Yates because she passed it

(07:53):
off as well postpartum depression. Like, Okay, any father who
would do that what I just described rightfully would be
thrown away in prison for life, throw away the key
at minimum, I think you should be executed. That's just
my death penalty stance there. But the fact that she
went there should have foretold what we're about to hear.

(08:14):
This is another edition of based Fetterman. I think it's
the first one I've had Christian Deborah on air live
to react to.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
It's extended, but it's worth the listen. Take in.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I want you a prepper here for Katie Kirk. Imagine
if Charlie Kirk had been a leftist right an activist leftist,
and then take into account what Katie Kirk says, and
imagine if like a Megan Kelly or somebody on the
right had tried to either equivocate or justify that, you

(08:44):
know what kind of had it coming.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
That's what this is.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
But thankfully we've got John Fetterman and now everybody's favorite
Democratic Congress with another edition of based Fetterman.

Speaker 8 (09:02):
Do you think that flags should have been flown at
half staff? Do you think his body should have been
flown on air force too? Do you think he should
have posthumously be given the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I
think some people.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Felt that that was.

Speaker 8 (09:19):
Perhaps over the top in terms of mourning someone liked
Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
How did you feel about that?

Speaker 9 (09:29):
I'd say that that was his choice and his prerogative,
and that's that's where that's and that was that was
really entirely up to him.

Speaker 8 (09:38):
Did you have any issues now in hindsight over some
of the things that Charlie Kirk said and some of
the rhetoric he used during his life.

Speaker 9 (09:49):
I didn't agree with with much of it. I didn't
closely followed his specific kinds of views, but I'm sure.

Speaker 8 (09:57):
You learned about them after his death, though.

Speaker 9 (10:01):
No, I haven't done a deep dive on it, you know,
I described I mean, we've all seen that terrible video,
perhaps if you've seen the actual video I have, and
it's like appalling, and that's part of the political violence.
And from what I'm saying, it's like that's unacceptable and
engaging in a debate and views I strongly disagree on.

(10:21):
That's part of the American democracy, and for me, it's
that would never justify what's happened. And I just chose
not to take the opportunity to argue his views after
after children loft his father in the most violent public way.
I mean, so that's I would say the equivalent, the

(10:44):
equivalent on the left might be, say, mister Piker, I
strongly disagree with his views, but I would I'm appalled
if something like that happened to him. Oh my god.
I mean that's you know, like we have to we
have to disagree in better ways where you know you're
going to solve it by shooting people. And that's why
the kinds of rhetoric we have to turn the temperature

(11:06):
down extreme rhetoric makes it easier for extreme reactions or
to justify them.

Speaker 8 (11:13):
I think some people might say Charlie Kirk's rhetoric was extreme,
you know. I think that's the conversation that happened. People
condemned political violence, but they also felt a great deal
of discomfort with his language, suggesting that these kinds of
words lead to violence.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I don't know, I'm just kind.

Speaker 8 (11:36):
Of sharing my observations as I saw the conversations unfold.

Speaker 9 (11:42):
Yeah, I agree. I mean, I think we agree that
we probably didn't agree with much of what he said,
but I think I'm sure we both agree that you
shouldn't shoot people, you know, and you shouldn't execute them
in public. And that's I think that two things must
be true that free speech. I'm an absolute free speech guy,

(12:07):
and you have the right to say these things, and
you definitely also have the right not to get shot
by sharing your views.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
God bless John Fetterman.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Wow, what a good human and quite the contrast with
Katie Kirk. Fetterman mentions by name Hassan Piker. Now he
is a left wing influencer, but I can say without equivocation,
without qualification, no matter what his rhetoric is and it
could be ugly.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
I don't even know that much. I'm like John Fetterman.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Here, if he were to be murdered in broad daylight,
executed in public in front of his kids and his wife,
we the three of us, and I hope everybody in
our audience.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Would condemn it outright.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
And for Katie Kuric to sit there and go, wow,
all his rhetoric was pretty the first thing. And I'll
turn to you, Deborah, give me specific examples, Katie, nothing
just well as rhetoric, you know what, you get shot.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Sometimes there was not. She just didn't do her homework,
didn't do a reason.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
There's just kind of a real surface level analysis, and
try to get John Fetterman right, well, didn't Charlie kind
of have it gunning well?

Speaker 6 (13:06):
And I'm just I'm just even listening to this chain
of questioning. She has John Fetterman on. He's a senator
from Pennsylvania. He is doing many other things that he
would be the authority on. But her entire chain is
to try to get him to join what really seems
to be the subtext that this was all justified. And

(13:27):
the biggest thing is she put John Fetterman basically on
trial for not being willing.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
To say this horrific act was okay.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
That weird fixation is.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Just It's just stunning to me, and good for John Fetterman.

Speaker 6 (13:42):
I mean, honestly, I love the fact, by the way,
he actually asked her the type of question of all,
you know, did you see the video of what happened?

Speaker 2 (13:49):
And there's no response from her. He didn't give a pause.
But that's really it. And I agree with you wholeheartedly.
If I would see anyone, even.

Speaker 6 (13:57):
Somebody who's treated me horrifically, I'm not thinking of anyone
in particular, someone who's saying stuff that I think is
damaging to our country, I would call outright the violence
of murdering somewhat that the total lack of morality here,
the moral equivalency that Katie Kirk is trying to paint

(14:17):
that somehow his words, what.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
She says, caused discomfort.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
She uses that word caused discomfort as though there.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Is any justification for what happened. And I bet you
I wonder.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
If she's actually ever really listened to to Charlie Kurk.
That's my point, because whether you agree with him or not,
and I did on most of this, he said, not
one hundred percent. He did it in a way where
he was simply getting people to talk.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
He invited disagreement. He was full of love and acceptance
in bringing people in. And that's why he had these conversations.
That's why he went into the hornet's nest of liberal
college campuses to initiate these conversations. That's what John Fetterman's
talking about, my main Western Christian about Katie Kirk's part
of this, Why why is she doing this?

Speaker 4 (15:05):
Her lack of journalistic ethics caused me discomfort. This is
the woman who's been on the air for thirty forty
five and while talking about a years, she should know better.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
You know it.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
Every time one of these.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
Hack journalists lose their gig and have to go solo,
whether it's on substack or YouTube, the true journalist with.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
That and glare all out.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yeah, and they're all the same, and they're all duplicitous,
and they all shouldn't be in this business.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
And I'd had one other thing.

Speaker 6 (15:33):
You s heard this story of the woman who horrifically
killed her children mentally ill or not, that's not the
place to put your compassion in this moment, but on
top of it, remember she is the one that interviewed
Sarah Palin for four hours and then cut it together
in a way that made her look like a blithering idiot.
She had an agenda then all the way back to

(15:55):
the McCain campaign, and now she's not even hiding that
agenda and her fixation on this line of questioning is
the most telling thing of anything.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
You made a great point by that. And also it's
been weeks since he died. He died September tenth. Yes,
why you bring this up now again? Because you've got
a senator in your studio. You could ask him any
number of questions.

Speaker 5 (16:17):
Yes, under the zoom whatever they were, Yeah, connecting by yeah.

Speaker 6 (16:20):
And if that's what's consuming your thoughts to drive the interview,
it tells you what she's not thinking about. What does
it say about our country? What does it say about
us as a human being? What's really going on that
we can be positive about and look for solutions for?
This is just obviously it seems like just obsessing her mind.

Speaker 7 (16:36):
This on X.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
From John Fetterman's account and his staff statement from Senator
fendermu spokesperson quote during an early morning walk. Senator Fetterman
sustained a fall near his home in Braddock. Out of
an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital
in Pittsburgh. Upon evaluation, it was established he had a
ventricular fibrillation flare up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling lightheaded,

(17:01):
falling to the ground, and hitting his face with minor injuries.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Senator Fetterman had this.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
To say, quote, if you thought my face looked bad before,
wait until you see it now.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Unquote.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
He is doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital.
He has opted to stay so doctors can fine tune
his medication regimen. Senator Feenderman is grateful for the EMTs,
doctors and nurses who are providing his care, and of
course our prayers and thoughts go out to him.

Speaker 7 (17:25):
Christian.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
He just it's amazing the person he's become after his stroke.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
I I just I'm agass at it.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
He himself recently said I should not have been should
have been in that race, which was obvious to also
another sign of extreme media malpractice that they didn't hold
him accountable. He should have been nowhere near a run
like he was. He should have gotten better and then
maybe resumed his professional career.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
That was a travesty. He could barely speak.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Put to tell first final word, Debra Flores, Yeah, I
would say.

Speaker 6 (17:53):
It just shows that he's a decent human being and
he's calling for people to get back to that day
where we can disagree, not call it hate, disagree on policy,
but come together in good will for that which brings
our country together, figureous debate on the issues that would
keep us, by the way, from devolving into political violence.

(18:13):
So I just think it shows he's a decent person
and he's an old fashioned blue dog Democrat in the
days where people could actually come together and talk about
real issues.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Wishing him a full and speedy recovery.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
We need more John Fetterman than our political discourse, not fewer.
Debraah Flora, thanks for staying late, Christian total got to
go get your kid from school. So we're gonna let
him fly. Leland Conway next on Ryan Schuling Live in
we style, bringing him in. He is burning the candle
at both ends. But what else is new? He joins

(18:45):
us here on Ryan Schuling Live. Leland My man, what's up?

Speaker 3 (18:50):
What's up?

Speaker 7 (18:50):
Brother boy? That music gives me pumped up every time
I hear it. I freaking love it.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
I always love that as your intro theme and as
a pro wrestler. If you're a baseball player, it may
be perfect for you coming up to the plate as well.
But take us through you filled in in the mornings
these last two days on six thirty K how a
return home Welcome home week, Leland.

Speaker 7 (19:09):
Dude, it was fun. I really enjoyed. It was an
honor to sit in. I love love the kil audience
and miss you guys all, and it was awesome to
be able to sit in. And I know that they
just going through some change, so it's good to kind
of help out the family a little bit. I'm always
happy to do that. So it was a lot of
fun and a lot of fun to go back and
forth with the listeners the last couple of days, and
it's work getting up early for my friend.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
I was just going to ask you about that because
I know Leland Conway pretty well. We used to work together.
He was in this time slot. I produced the show.
He did a lot of stuff together, had a lot
of fun together. Here might remember the twisted View segments
that would be in this very hour on Fridays. Now,
I couldn't steal that bit. That is the intellectual property
of Leland Conway, so we do Right Side of Hollywood instead.

(19:51):
But I'm thinking, Leland, you are NonStop energy. I have
no doubts or concerns about you filling four hours, which
you know, a lot for a solo host to do.
I sometimes marvel the fact that Michael Brown was able
to do it as well as he did. But you
mentioned the time element. I'm a night owl. You're pretty
much twenty four to seven. But do you lean more
to being a night owl or do you do the

(20:13):
early morning thing well? Or you like me where you're
kind of grouchy, you need a lot of coffee.

Speaker 7 (20:18):
I'm always grouchy, a lot of coffee. But I think
I think I'm kind of like in the middle, Okay,
Like I'm not. I'm not. I used to be like
a total night out like I used to be, you know,
give me the give me the midnight to six am shift,
And as I got older, like I kind of sort
of moved more towards the middle. So if I'm waking
up like on my normal time on a day, like

(20:38):
if I'm going to get up at a normal time
and just lay there, you know, until I'm ready. It's
probably gonna be about seven, seven thirty eight o'clock, right,
And I don't know if i'd call that a night owl,
but I would definitely call that somewhere between between a
night owl and an early riser. I don't know about
those guys that get up at four four o'clock in
the morning and they start brewing the coffee and hanging out.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
That's a raw Kamenski.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
It's a little bit more of Michael Brown, although he's
living the life now he's doing the nine to noon show.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
You can wake up a little bit later. I think
he's enjoying that over on KOA. So that's the move.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
If you're just tuning in, you're on vacation, you've been
under a rock or something. Michael Brown has moved from
mornings on six thirty k How to the late mornings
on KOA, our sister station over there, nine am to noon.
Ross Kaminsky goes earlier, back to his original times thought
that he occupied here on k HOW now on KOA
with Gina Gondek as his news anchor in that new

(21:30):
format from six am to nine am over there, So
that leaves the vacancy that we're talking about six thirty k.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
How six am to ten am.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
And as I mentioned, Leland Conway filling in these last
two days on Thursday and Friday. So Leland, what were
the big topics for you over these last two days
that we're kind of getting your attention?

Speaker 7 (21:51):
Yeah, I mean, obviously the shutdown, you know, it's over.
The reaction to it is pretty hilarious. I think probably
my favorite story was one we did this morning and
I'm going to talk about it again this evening, but
it was the act Commissioner Bill Collins revealing how many
people they've found out we're getting double Snap benefits checks

(22:13):
they were getting twice on the same name, and how
many people that were dead we're getting a check and
somebody's catching those checks, right, So an enormous amount of fraud.
So one of the big mistakes the Democrats made and
drawing so much attention to Snap Benefits was, you know,
they were, as they always trying to do, you know,
trying to exaggerate and pull out the heartstrings. And forty
three million people are going to starve to death, and

(22:35):
everybody else in America goes why are there forty three
million people on food stamps? It be possible. You look
around and you go, there's a lot of people that
can work and they're not. And that really, I think
created a problem because what she announced this morning was
and this was a new bomb that she dropped on Newsmax,
was Hey, guess what, We're going to make everybody resign

(22:55):
up for all of those snap benefits. Everybody that was
just kicked off of them is going to have to
resign up and prove they actually need it. And so
we're going to end up with a huge clean out
of the system. And I think the Left is going
to absolutely lose their ever loving minds, but most of
America is going to think it's pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Leland Conway joining us of course right now part of
Conway and Larson on Cogo in San Diego.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
He's a madman. He's insane. So along with doing the
mornings on k.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
HOW today six am to ten am Mountain time, you're
filling in for Joe PAGs tonight on the National Stick.
So that's four pm to seven pm Mountain time. Leland,
that's seven hours of on air content.

Speaker 7 (23:34):
What are you thinking, man, it's actually nine by the
end of the day and then I go back on
Cogo from nine time.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Wow, eight times, You're crazy.

Speaker 7 (23:44):
So I'm a glutton for punishment. As far as Joe PAGs,
I just felt like annoying the Denver audience one more
time since they're carried by key out, so you're stuck
with me one more time. But yeah, it's it's fun.
I think I posted on social media that I was
going to say all the words today and then after
I'm done, they'll probably maybe no more words left for
me to I'll just get them all out today and

(24:04):
then I'll just I'll be silent the rest of my life. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Right, I'll hold my breath on that one. This Texter says, Ryan,
you have a trader on your show right now.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Hi, Leland. I don't know what that means.

Speaker 7 (24:16):
I don't know what that means either, but Hi, but Hi.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
So Leland, you you wake up at the crack of
noon today, You're you're doing the Joe Pag stuff nationally,
the co Goo stuff in San Diego. I mean, what
is it about talk radio that you think fits what
you love.

Speaker 7 (24:36):
To do so much? Hmm, that's a great question. My
mom used to tell me i'd argue with the devil.
So I guess I was just born talking about things,
and you know, it's a great outlet. So so I
enjoyed the conversation. I especially enjoy the back and forth,
and I enjoy very vehemently. I was. I was over

(24:59):
in Sandy last week and got an opportunity to meet
some of the co Go listeners, and there were some
folks that came up that were vehemently the opposite politically
than me, and one of them gave me a big
old hug and said, I agree, I disagree with aut
about everything you say, but I just love the show, right,
And it's like, if you can kind of find a

(25:19):
way to, you know, make a strong stance, take a
strong point of view on something, but without making people
think that you hate them, right, to me, that's kind
of a fun art. And so I don't know, I
guess I just I just enjoy that process of dialogue,
whether you know, whether it's with people I agree with
or even people I disagree with. I just enjoy the

(25:41):
back and forth of dialogue and making people think and
them making me think. And you know, I love discovering
things I didn't know I thought, and you do that
when you you know this because you're you're a phenomenal
show host, and you you dig into the information and
you're you're one of the most well prepared show hosts
I know. And as you start digging into that information,

(26:01):
you discover things you didn't even know that you thought.
I never thought of it that way. And then you
get to impart that because there's probably a lot of
other people that maybe aren't aware yet, and you can
kind of impart that to people. So that's to me,
that's kind of the fun of it, if that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Yeah, I think that's such a great point, that dynamic
live aspect of a personal interaction with the audience, whether
that's taking calls or in this instance with texts, you know,
instantaneously you get that feedback. It's almost like the closest thing.
And I'm going to be seeing Kevin Neeland tonight at
Comedy Works South. You know, that's a past failed grade.
You stand and deliver and you either get the laugh

(26:37):
or you don't. You get heckled and cajoled and booed,
or you get cheered, you get applause, and you get
the laugh. So I like having like you said, Leland,
that instant feedback. So I'm going to give you the
opportunity to spike the football the hot take based on
something you just said. I know you and I are
of a like mind in a libertarian sense that less
government is better, more private sector is better.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
I've never been on board with.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
The whole FDR, big New deal whatever with social Security,
the Ponzi scheme that you and I both know that
it is, and when it comes to help like snap
food stamps, et cetera, there's so many people that are
dependent on it, and the whole point of the matter,
the exercise should be it's a temporary thing.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Somebody's down on their.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Luck, okay, but the goal is to get off of them,
not for it to be a way of life. My
question is this, could we privatize that? In other words,
you have charities that are left to provide those services
for people who need them, that they can seek them out,
that they don't have to rely on the government, which
is so inefficient, so ineffective, so full of corruption. Or
is that genie kind of out of the bottle there's

(27:37):
no way to put it back in.

Speaker 7 (27:39):
I think in a great world where we could get
people to think with common sense. I think everything you
said is possible. I think if you took that forty
three million people and you remove to llegal immigrants, you'd
remove about half of them, and then I think you
take the other the other twenty some odd million. And
I think if you remove people that really can, should
and ought to be working, then you would and at
least put them on a path to work to get

(28:01):
off this program. Then you'd be left with about ten million.
And I think that ten million might be the indigent,
they might be the ones that just can't help themselves.
There's some kind of reason why as a society and
as a government, we probably ought to take care of
that group. The rest I think we could absolutely privatize
the vast majority of it. Certainly, whether we privatize it
or not, certainly there should be a system. Back in

(28:23):
the day, man Democrats and Republicans agreed on this welfare
to work a little bit of embarrassment about being on
the dole for the rest of of society. So let's
get those people off of that system by encouraging them
to engage in enterprise and not discouraging that. And so
I think you could probably got if you took those
those thirty million off of that system, right, those thirty

(28:44):
million able bodied or non citizens, then the church and
the private sector could step in and help those that
need to be helped. I'm not saying that everybody that's
on that system that's here illegally has to necessarily be
deported right away, but certainly they could be taken care
of by the private sector until they got up on
their feet, handled their court case, and got their fines paid,

(29:05):
and then maybe got into a system that would leave
them to citizenship. So all those things combined, I truly
think you're probably right, and certainly that's the way it
ought to go, because it's turning into a situation now
where we're almost at the level of basic universal income
right where you've got people that can get an enormous
amount of benefits from Snap, they can get a free phone,
they can get rent assistance if not completely covered, they're

(29:27):
getting healthcare. What else is left to do with your time? Right?
And I think we're getting dangerously close to that, So
whatever has to be done needs to be done quick,
because I think we are getting to that tipping point
where it might be unfixable.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
He didn't disappoint a great take there. I agree with
every single word. You can hear more of it on
Joe PAGs tonight here in Denver. You'll hear that starting
at six pm, right after the Dan Kaplis show. He's
the iron horse of talk radio, especially today. And a
couple of pleasantries to send you off with, Leland, give
you some motivation going into your evening broadcasts. Here, Gina says,

(29:59):
please tell Leland I so enjoyed his stint on AM.
Hopefully we can hear him on a more regular basis.
Miss you, Leland. And then this one really miss Leland
and always loved his shows, loved hearing him for the
last couple of days here in Denver. Again, Ryan, You're
amazing and listen pretty much every day. So keep up
the good stuff. Well, when we get together and we
create the magic, then I could wake up at the

(30:20):
crack of noon and decide what T shirt am I
going to wear? Tenacious D style. So Leland, great stuff,
keep it up, We'll keep in touch and we'll talk
again soon.

Speaker 7 (30:29):
Love it, brother, brother, Appreciate you so much. Have a
great day.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Leland.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Conway in for Joe PAGs tonight. He was in on
the morning here on six point thirty KO Today, send
you into your weekend. We'll have a Friday Fool the
Week determined when we come back after this on Ryan
Schuling Live, Ryan Schuling Live, wrapping up, sending you into
your weekend. Not a lot of drama when it comes
to the Friday Fool the Week front. It was First

(30:55):
Lady Michelle Obama.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
I didn't really have that choices.

Speaker 10 (30:58):
Firstly, yeah, every day, every time I was up, as
we called.

Speaker 5 (31:02):
It, you know, I was up for the public, yes.

Speaker 10 (31:06):
And the days were long, so as you mentioned, to
save time, yes, you know, I know, having a glam team,
a trifecta. It feels like a luxury, it is, but
it was a time.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
Time, this necessity.

Speaker 10 (31:21):
There's absolutely no way that I would be able to
do my hair and make up and have clothes ready
that fit, you know, because where is the woman that
can live.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
Off the rack?

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Yes? No, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
And it just gets worse every time I listen to it.
So congratulations question mark to Michelle Obama, former First Lady
our Friday Fool of the Week. Finally, on the text line,
what's going on with the search for Michael Brown's replacement?

Speaker 3 (31:50):
