Speaker 1 (00:00):
We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was, a
man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted
Black Americans the right to vote was a mistake, who,
after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi, claimed that quote
some amazing patriot unquote should bail out his brutal assailant,

(00:22):
an accused Jews of controlling quote not just the colleges,
it's the nonprofits, it's the movies, it's Hollywood, it's all
of it, unquote. His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated,
and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans far from the

(00:43):
working quote working tirelessly to promote unityote asserted by the
majority in this resolution.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
AOC earlier today voting against the resolution to honor Charlie
Kirk after his assassination last week. Back here, we're on
the right side of Hollywood Hour two special edition Michael
Loftus with this Jody Coom, Christian Toto, and the easy
explanation to write off what AOC just said is that
she's dangerously stupid. The dangerous part is right, But I

(01:10):
don't think she's stupid because this is what the left does.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
You heard what she described Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
He sounds awful. That's terrible, right, But they're taking snippets
out of context, and we're going to take those one
at a time. Right now. It needs to be done.
Maybe I'm the only show that does it. Charlie Kirk
was not racist, he was not anti Semitic, and the
comment about Paul Pelosi's attacker, as you will hear, was
taken out of context. Here is the Civil Rights Act

(01:36):
comment that he had, and I'll give a little bit
of explanation on the back end. This is from one
of his previous podcasts from The Charlie Kirk Show.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
We need to really relook at how we've enforced civil
rights laws. And again I'm not saying that because I
think we need to re litigate the wisdom of the
nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Act.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
It was.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
It was put in at a particular time to solve
a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
I've criticized it. Yeah, yeah, but thing yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
I mean yeah, And Chris Caldwell is a colleague of mine,
and I think it's you know, it's fine to do that.
But I think just as a political strategy, I think
if people want to say, hey, that was there was
there were absolutely real problems that it was addressing, whether
you think he did it in the perfect way or not.
But we're as far from that time right now as

(02:18):
they were from the Wright brothers. So there's a lot
of things that have changed in American society. We're not
worried about people not being served at lunch counters anymore.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
Yeah, and the Civil Rights Act bill, let's be clear,
created a beast, and that beast has now turned into
an anti white weapon.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Now a lot of people are pouncing on that quote.
I'm going to use their terminology against them, Republicans, pounds,
conservative sees. What Charlie klark Kirk was pointing out is
that the nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Act there were
things about it that had unintended consequences. His criticism of
MLK were stemming from these allegations. You may agree with him,
you may not, I may not, but this is what

(02:54):
he said. That he was engaging in Marxist socialist types
of ideals. Also that he was a philander, he messed
around on his wife. That's pretty well documented. But the
nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Act, as you might recall
if you know history, was championed by Republicans, and a
higher percentage of Republicans in Congress voted for it. And
they brought Lyndon Baines Johnson along, who was able to
kind of whip up some of the Southern Democrats who

(03:15):
were very racist by the way, and continued Jim crow
Laws that was the Democrats, and LBJ had the famous
quote where he said, we'll have these n words voting
for us for the next one hundred years. This is
a clear cynical political calculation by LBJ, and that's what
happened in this Now, Charlie Kirk's criticism of the nineteen
sixty four Civil Rights Act, all of that again taken

(03:37):
out of context, it can make him sound pretty bad.
We're going to go move on in order AOC's references here,
Let's go to the Paul Pelosi attack and in full context,
listen to what Charlie actually said.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
For example, Politico says top Republicans reject any link between
GOP rhetoric and Paul Pelosi assault. Of course you should
reject any link. Why is the Republican Party, why is
the conservative movement to blame for gay schizophrenic nudists that
are Hemp jewelry makers, breaking into somebody's home, or maybe

(04:12):
not breaking into somebody's home. Why are we to blame
for that exactly? And why is he still in jail?
Why has he not been bailed out? By the way,
if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or
the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero,
someone should go and bail this guy out. I bet
his bail's like thirty or forty thousand bucks. Bail him

(04:33):
out and then go.

Speaker 6 (04:35):
Ask him some questions, ask him some questions.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
I was left out of the quote. Sure what his
bail is?

Speaker 5 (04:39):
They're going after him with attempted murder, political assassination, all
this sort of stuff.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
I'm not qualifying it. I think it's awful. It's not right.
It's awful, it's not right.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
But why is it that in Chicago you're able to
commit murder and be out the next day. Why is
it that you're able to trespass second degree murder arsin
threat of public official casualist bail? This happens all over
San Francisco. But if you go after the pelosis, oh,
you're leut out immediately.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Much different in context.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
The most nefarious one though is right here that Charlie
Kirk is some kind of anti Semite.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
This is an argument which Ben.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Shapiro, himself an Orthodox Jew, makes these observations very often.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Ben Shapiro was a very close friend of Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Ben Shapiro, Daily Wire, all of those guys just guest
hosted Charlie Kirk show. If Charlie Kirk was an anti Semite,
that would not have happened. And so this notion that
he was anti Semitic, this is the full context quote
that AOC bastardized.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
There is a real reckoning happening.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
By the way, there are self hating people in any group, right,
and there are some Jews that are still like making
excuses for all this. Not all of them, though, You're
starting to see a fair amount start to defect and say,
hold on, hold on, hold on a second, what.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Have we done?

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Maybe those crazy right winger is right about immigration, that
you can't keep on importing people that don't share your values.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
The ADL, by the way, has spent decades.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
The ADL raises nearly one hundred million dollars a year
to just quote unquote fight anti Semitism. They've been oddly
quiet recently. Why because they're only focused on random conservatives
in Middle America. The ADL makes liberals think that random
Trump voters in Idaho want to do a second Holocaust,
when the jew haters were right in front of them
the whole time. In fact, the ADL demanded we let

(06:33):
the jew haters in, and in a stunning turn of events,
the people that the ADL said were jew haters are
actually the biggest defenders of Judaism in Israel right now.
In the country US, conservative evangelical Christians and Jewish donors,
they have a lot of explaining to do, a lot
of decoupling to do, because Jewish donors have been the

(06:56):
number one funding mechanism of radical open border neoliberal, quasi
Marxist policies, cultural institutions and nonprofits. This is a beast
created by secular Jews secular and now it's coming for
Jews and they're like, what on earth happened? And it's
not just the colleges, it's the nonprofits, it's the movies,

(07:19):
it's Hollywood, is all of it. It's like time for
you guys to wake up and say no more. Draw
a line in the sand. I don't care if you
hate me. I will not live through another Holocaust.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Now, what Ben Shapiro is careful to delineate here what
Charlie was talking about, and I don't think he was
clear enough.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
This is where I would criticize Charlie. You've got to
be very clear.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
He was talking about secular Jews who identify as ethnic Jews,
not religious Jewish people who are pro Israel Prozionists. There's
a clear delineation demarcation there between those two factions. And
it's why Ben Shapiro explained, you know why do let's say,
Jews in New York vote over overwhelmingly Democrat. Well, but

(07:57):
it's because they're not like practicing Jews, Orthodox Jews, synagogue
attending Jews.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
They're just ethnic Jews.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
That happen to identify that way, and they identify with
these leftist policies that the ADL advances and allows people
who are truly anti Semitic into the country. That is
our third nominee for a Fool of the Week here
on this Friday on the right side of Hollywood, Michael Loftist,
Jody Kalm, Christian Toto. Here Christian he responds to the
full context quotes that you heard from Charlie and what

(08:27):
AOC put out there today.

Speaker 6 (08:29):
It's it's unbelievable that she gets away with it.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
For starters.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
Also, this whole thing where we have to cherry pick
quotes from people to make them into monsters, where if
they were actually monsters, you wouldn't have to do that
and they'd be ample evidence. Charlie Kirk spoke endlessly, and
they have to focus on one little thing that he
may have said slightly imperfectly that if you take it
a certain way, looks bad. It is really a terrible

(08:56):
trait in our culture and it should be shut down completely.
The fact that there's no journalists in the country who's
going to hear her comments and not examine them the
way you have is just darn right depressing.

Speaker 7 (09:09):
Jody, Yeah, I think what was the first one, the
civil rights Yeah, the Paul Pelosi attack. That one is
really irritating because they also took a tweet out of
context where he was what he was doing was criticizing
the cashless bail policy in Chicago and California, and he

(09:31):
was he was twisting it to to be like okay,
So so when is it okay? When is it not Okay,
why do you have these policies in place? And then
they tried to make the spin on it that he
was saying like, yeah, let's get this guy out. And
also he was a lunatic. He was a newdist and
possibly his lover right part.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Of the San Francisco art scene full of conservatives. Oh totally.

Speaker 7 (09:54):
I mean, he had all of the signs all over
his house, he had, you know, queer roommate. To think
the only thing that they were trying to connect him
to was the QAnon something or other, and I don't
I've never seen any actual evidence of any of that.

Speaker 8 (10:09):
Anyway, He's all.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Over the place. He's a lunatic. He was not like
ideologically bent. He was also an illegal alien from Canada.
This was a unique distinction there.

Speaker 9 (10:17):
Michael Loftus, I'm sick and tired of these Canadians coming
down here and take it off. Somebody. Here's a wonderful thing.
Like I wish I was a lawyer right now.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
I tell you what.

Speaker 9 (10:30):
Erica Kirk's phone just must be blowing up with every
law firm in the country going, hey, we would like
to sue AOC because this is lawsuit ready. You just
can't slander somebody like that. However, the good news is
this stuff and it takes a while. It almost always backfires.

(10:51):
You had that Brandon Straka kid, Yeah, it did the
walk away away walk.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Away, the thing that threw him over the edge.

Speaker 9 (10:57):
He's like, how can these people be conservative and and
be Christians?

Speaker 3 (11:01):
And and and after.

Speaker 9 (11:03):
Donald Trump has said such a thing that he said
in Charlottesville.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
So you go to get your own.

Speaker 9 (11:09):
He went to look at it for himself and he
was like, holy smoke, I haven't seen the whole quote. Yeah,
And so then he becomes an active, super active member.
And that's what it's like, Uh, AOC just really did
everybody a favor by wrapping herself up and pimping out
this these real horrible smears and taking somebody out of context.

(11:30):
How many Democrats are gonna go, yeah, I bet he
did say something like that. That's right, and they're gonna
look it up and then go wait what. But only
if they're honest.

Speaker 6 (11:40):
You know, journalists won't do that because they wouldn't even
debunk when President Obama said that Trump did the fairy
fine people thing.

Speaker 9 (11:47):
Can you remember when when Chris Wallace did it at
the debate correctly. That's when I was like, that really
threw me for a loop. Now it was like it
was years after you know, he knew it. He was
most of the Fox News Sunday or some incredible sense
and then he comes out and throws Trump under the bus,

(12:08):
and I'm like, Wow, whoa.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
That's amazing.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
I didn't realize that that's amazing his transformation. He used
to be a pretty credible news person. He seemed like
one of the like him and Jake Tapper were like
through the mainstream media. But they like they're they're straight shooters.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, wild, isn't it wild?

Speaker 7 (12:26):
But I'm with you, Ryan, I think that you're right.
I think that she knows exactly what she's doing. I
think she knows that she's lying. I think the same
thing with Jimmy Kimmel, and I think the same thing
with Mark, Matt Wallace, whoever it was. All these people
they know that they're lying, which is why I think
that there's so much more like SI up going on,
because they're riling up stupid people that don't, you know,

(12:47):
take the time to go and look this stuff up.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
So is it wrong that I find her attractive? Saying
I was sandwhich they both have to promise not to talk.
I can't talk talking, no talking.

Speaker 8 (13:00):
Into horses too.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
We continue with the btlity portion of the program. Kamala
Harris one of our nominees for doing the whole identity
politics silo thing with their VP picks. I can't pick
a gay guy, so I'll pick a gay guy, Tim
Walls as my running mate. That was one Matthew Dowd.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
What about me? It isn't fair. They're not talking about
me anymore? Got fired too, just like Jimmy Kimmel.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
That was our second nominee AOC for what you just heard, folks,
This is murders roll. This is like nineteen twenty seven Yankees.
Credit to Christian Toto. They're the Yankees fan in the room.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
This one. Oh, this is bad.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
But I don't know how to reconcile this because this
is literally the stupidest person ever to serving Congress in
either chamber, the House or the Senate. The Honorable Senator
Mazi Herono, Democrat, Hawaii.

Speaker 10 (13:51):
This is what's happening, and that is why the bills.
Senator Marquis, Senator Klobuchar, and I have introduced some others, well,
some relief for the millions of small businesses in our
country who are taking it in the neck with these
terrors taking it.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
In the neck Christian about a week after Charlie Kirk
was shot in the neck and assassinated unfortunate choice of.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Words, Oh boy, I began, she is.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
I mean, she is really dumb, and I know over
the years, I mean it's almost she's kind of escaped
the pop culture radar, like she should be. Uh, you know,
Michael loftis ungutfeld lot Gutfeld should be. I mean, for
some reason, she just is just not well known enough
to pop up and to make her a target because
she is incredibly done dumb. Also, what kind of a

(14:46):
reference is that shot in the neck? That's not even
a pop culture colloquialism.

Speaker 10 (14:50):
Is it?

Speaker 6 (14:51):
Take it, take it the neck, take it in the neck?

Speaker 3 (14:56):
You know who she reminds me of. She reminds me
of that crazy Anton Bewitched.

Speaker 6 (15:01):
I know that makes me that one.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
I remember what was her name, Agatha or something.

Speaker 9 (15:08):
I don't know anyway, but there was this one goofy
she'd show up on like special episodes just kind of
like it, like she was half drunk time but she
knew magic. That's Mazy is her first name, Mazy, Yes, okay,
Mazy Corono.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
She had another one.

Speaker 9 (15:25):
I'd like to nominate the quote where she's talking to
Cash Patel talking about like, and you're gonna make these
women differences between men and women.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Yeah, right in that.

Speaker 9 (15:39):
Quote, don't tell listen, you can either take it in
the shorts.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
You can't take it in the neck. You can have
it up to your eyes. You could be a pain
in the neck.

Speaker 6 (15:50):
But she's gonna take it in the shorts. Tell us
more about your pitching days there.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Pictures and report. Was that the one you're thinking, that's
the one? I, oh, you cheated? Cheated? Jody?

Speaker 6 (16:04):
Who was the actress who played itad?

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Maybe this is Marian Lorne.

Speaker 9 (16:10):
Yeah, Morehead was a babe back in the day. Really, Yeah,
I'm talking about like the nineteen twenties.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
We're going back in time. Jody man stupid or.

Speaker 7 (16:20):
Just I think she's actually genuinely stupid. And people say
this all the time about AOC and Jasmine Crockett, But
like I said, I think they're they're propagandists.

Speaker 8 (16:30):
They're like they know what they're doing.

Speaker 7 (16:32):
Even Jasmine Crockett as ridiculous as the things that she says.
I think that she's smarter than people.

Speaker 8 (16:37):
Realize, Yes, and I agree, I agree.

Speaker 7 (16:40):
I think definitely Herna is by far the dumbest person
in Congress.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
Jody Calm, did you just say, Jasmine Crockett.

Speaker 7 (16:47):
I think she's smarter than we I.

Speaker 8 (16:52):
Not even reading ahead crazy on.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
The same wavelength that it's kind of freaking me out,
But she is and nomine are fool the week she
is like perennial here, and she normally has more than
one submission, like Alexa sent me won earlier this week
it was like, oh, that's pretty dumb, and then I'm like,
we got to go with this one. Just listen to
what she says and try to wrap your mind around
this without throwing up.

Speaker 11 (17:16):
So when people are like, oh, you know, crime is terrible,
and yes, it is right, like because when somebody goes
out and commits a crime, they don't typically, you know,
say well, I'm a dr RMI. It's not like literally like,
it's about well, how do you fix it?

Speaker 6 (17:31):
How do you make community safer?

Speaker 11 (17:33):
And I do think that I'm in a unique situation
because I was having the conversations with people that were
going out and committing crimes, and so I understood what
was kind of pushing them there. And so I do
want people to know that just because someone has committed
a crime, it doesn't make them a criminal. That is

(17:55):
completely different. Being a criminal is more so about your mindset.
Committing a crime can come for a lot of different reasons.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Michaels isn't a criminal by definition someone who commits crimes.

Speaker 9 (18:09):
Yeah, right, that's a I think I feel confident with
my response.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
On this one. If you commit a crime, you are
a criminal.

Speaker 9 (18:17):
Yes, I think that's like, let's go, can I could
you use it in a sentence?

Speaker 3 (18:23):
It's like Jasmin Crockett.

Speaker 9 (18:25):
I was like, I was happy to hear her using
her semi semi street voice for that one.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
I like how her persona change is based on where
she is. I think she's a wheel that she spins
on her accents. Yeah, she's a social chameleon.

Speaker 7 (18:39):
Yet like Kamala, Uh yeah, I'm just waiting for Michael
to say, is it weird?

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Did I find her track? I know I've had to
pass on.

Speaker 9 (18:49):
I've passed on Mazie Herona, though I don't think I
could joink any girl named Maizie.

Speaker 6 (18:56):
I think that's a deal breaker. Yeah, probably fair.

Speaker 8 (18:59):
So we have one thing to say.

Speaker 7 (19:01):
I came across a Lauren Shen tweet where there's a
picture of Jasmine saying, quote, I do not feel safe
as a black woman in this country, and Lauren Chen
put up the stat if the black woman is murdered
in America, there's a ninety point six percent chance that
her murderer is black.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Actually true.

Speaker 9 (19:20):
Yes, so that's the that's the greatest threat to black people.

Speaker 6 (19:25):
Yeah, yeah, Lauren En.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Those are the one quick thing.

Speaker 6 (19:31):
Please on miss Crockett. You know, I cheated on my wife,
but I wasn't like thinking of it as a cheat.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
It wasn't in my mind.

Speaker 6 (19:38):
It was just time.

Speaker 9 (19:39):
So like the sexual act, sexual act with a stranger
is one thing, a cheating is another.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Yeah, stranger danger mindset.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
I was thinking of my mind at the time. It
was just thinking of her.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
You had her face so much, Yeah, exactly, didn't twice.

Speaker 9 (19:56):
I was actually having the conversations with the criminals. She
said that he said that really down in a basement,
that they have little cars. And then you'll wait outside
the bank when you hear the bell. You gotta be
there with the car correct, all right, folks, it's a
tough choice. We got the nominees for a Friday Fool
the Week. We'll get our votes from our panelists when
we come back. Kamala Harris the identity politics choice of

(20:17):
her vice presidential nominee, Matthew Doubt. It's about me?

Speaker 3 (20:20):
What about me? Don't people notice that I lost my job.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
For MSNBC as well AOC You heard her disparaging the
good name of Charlie Kirk. I like Michaeloftus's idea there's
some maybe lawsuit material there and how it was characterized.
The Honorable Senator Maizie Herono with the ill timed remark
about taking it in the neck. Hi paused there. And
Representative Jasmine Crockett. Somebody that commits a crime is not

(20:47):
necessarily a criminal. Your votes five, seven, seven, three nine.
We've got another edition of hot takes from your President
overseas across the Pond, Donald.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Trump when we come back.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
And words of wisdom from one of the all time greats,
Johnny Carson when we come back after.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
This on the right side of Hollywood.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
He said it could end my career, but here I'm
gonna say it the women were beautiful, but the guys
were too, Jody.

Speaker 6 (21:14):
Did he save himself with that at the end or
did it matter?

Speaker 3 (21:16):
Can we say women are beautiful again? Is that okay?

Speaker 8 (21:19):
I mean, it's always been fine by me.

Speaker 7 (21:21):
I think that he says he says beautiful probably more
than any other words. Yeah, I mean, but yeah, he
might have gotten some some gay points there.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Michael.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
You could tell that the president was having fun with this.
He's on air a yeah, but he does.

Speaker 9 (21:40):
He does these at rallies as well. We'll talk about
and I don't do a Donald Trump. I do Christopher walking,
but it's the same vibe. But he'll call guy like,
look at that guy. He's a tall guy.

Speaker 6 (21:56):
Like, I don't go that way.

Speaker 9 (21:57):
But whoa, that's a beautiful man. Oh I shook his hand.
That's a lot of men over there. Yeah, that's the
great Would you get all you have to be known for?
And this is what Trump has done some well, it's
like I talk a lot of smack about. Look at her,
she's beautiful, beautiful lady. Guys are pretty too, Hey, little

(22:19):
legs on her, long legs.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
That guy's got big legs too.

Speaker 6 (22:23):
She's got great gams.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Okay, and Michael loftus right there.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
He is coming to the Improv to night Denver Improv
seven thirty pm, Tomorrow at six thirty and Sunday at six.
You can get tickets at improv dot com slash Denver.
Jody Kalma also with us in Christian Toto for the
President here and it's having a good time.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
He kicks it old school.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I think this is a large part of his appeal
because we're sick of the cancel culture, stuff.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
About you know, you're not allowed to compliment with women.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
And we know about his past, you know, billion our
playboy Bruce Wayne type stuff, the accusations, et cetera.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
So all that is part of the equation.

Speaker 6 (22:54):
But we're gonna miss him when he's gone and he's
out of office. I mean, this is the most entertaining
present in anyone's lifetime.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
I don't deserve him.

Speaker 6 (23:01):
He's just so silly and funny and off the cuff
and unique. And it's really a shame that the people
who hate him so intensely are missing all the fun
because this is actually rather joyful. I listen, he doesn't
always say the right thing. I can criticize them all
day long, but there's something remarkable about him when he's
riffing it. Just yeah, he's a stand up and chief.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
He really is.

Speaker 6 (23:24):
You know, Obama was pretty good with the punchline, and
Clinton could handle himself well, and even Bush was solid
a time.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Trump's a performer. He's got the charisma, the charm even
in that instance. And maybe Jody picked up on this.
The reporter who asked him the question British one. You
a beautiful too, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Mister president. Right, help, but buckle.

Speaker 6 (23:43):
Your knees is like, oh, he said I was beautiful.

Speaker 9 (23:46):
And I think what people are responding to is like
the same thing that construction workers that worked for Trump
responded to.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
He's a genuine guy.

Speaker 8 (23:56):
You were going to say, there whistle.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
No, he's like he.

Speaker 9 (23:59):
Can along with anybody, and he doesn't need note cards
and he doesn't, you know, because he truly believes what
he's saying. And if that, if that, we are going
to miss him when he's gone. And hopefully every all
these horrible politicians are learning this lesson of like you
have to like really believe what you're saying. And it's

(24:20):
nice to see jd Vance. Jd Vance has like gone
up several notches. Yeah, show so is Marco Rul. I'm
just gonna tell it like it is. I'm not gonna
sugarcoat it. You guys obviously can take it. Rubio has
been a huge surprise. Ye, and none of it seems performative, correct.
I don't like it on the left where they're like, ohh.

(24:41):
Study shows a middle class America responds well to curse words. Ye,
So I'm going to inject curse words and to buy
missives about races.

Speaker 6 (24:50):
The Yeah, I don't have the same five o'clock shadow
perfectly attuned. It's particularly you know.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Gavin Newsom tried to get trumpy there, or at least
his staff was tweeting, as Trump doesn't work, fall flat.

Speaker 6 (25:01):
He kind of stopped out. Now I don't because it
doesn't work.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Yeah, it didn't pull well.

Speaker 6 (25:05):
What Michael said is is rather profound. I sort of
sort of insult you, Michael. But we're living in an
air of authenticity. It's why Joe Rogan is so successful.
He just is who he is. That's Trump, and we
see right through so many people in our lives right now.
And Trump is authentically Trump. You can't take away from him.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
You can love him. You can hate him anywhere in between.
But that's Trump and you hear him. You see him
on Air First One. He's riffing, he's getting, you know,
mixing up. What do you guys want to know? I
hope the plane lands, but only because I'm on it, Okay.

Speaker 9 (25:34):
I just hope that in the next few years the
left doesn't realize.

Speaker 6 (25:38):
How well he would respond to flattery. I've thought.

Speaker 9 (25:43):
The New York Times, right, the New York Times, who
smeared him up one side and down the other. All
they'd have to do is call him today and go,
you know what, we really think you're doing a great job.

Speaker 8 (25:54):
The hands, you've got the biggest hands.

Speaker 9 (25:56):
And sit down interview.

Speaker 6 (26:01):
More important than the signs, like a Chuck Schumer type.
If they had a kiss up to him, they could probably.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Get a lot of dealsything. Lord, it's so smart and
they're not smart. So there you go.

Speaker 9 (26:11):
That's the end of that conversation. Well, goodness, take this
time out.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
We'll get to that Johnny Carson quote that I mentioned before,
and another edition We're spoiled today Hot takes Donald Trump
on Air Force one talking about no talent. Jimmy Kimmel Okay,
Michael Offtis, Jody Coom, Christian Toto will get their votes
for Friday Fool of the Week. We'll get yours as well.
Once again the nominees. As we go back. If you're
just tuning in, where have you been? You missed everything?

(26:35):
Go back and listen to the podcast. That's an assignment.
You have to do it.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
Okay. So you have Matthew Dowd, what about me?

Speaker 2 (26:41):
You have AOC, you have Kamala Harris, you have Mazi Herono,
and you have Representative Jasmine Crockett. Good luck to you all.
Maybe the odds be ever in your favor for Friday
Fool of the Week, and we'll have that for you
when we come back to wrap up the Right Side
of Hollywood after this.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Another edition of Hot Takes.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
There are Friday full of the Week going to be
revealed in mere moments. But first a word from the
great Johnny Carson.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
He nailed it. This is many years ago on sixty
Minutes with Mike Wallace.

Speaker 12 (27:14):
People say you'll never take a serious controversy. Well I
have an answer to that. I said, no, tell me
the last time that Jack Benny red Skelton's any comedian
to use his show to do serious issues. That's not
what I'm there for.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Can't they see that?

Speaker 12 (27:32):
But you and neither they think that just because you
have it tonight show that you must deal in serious issues.

Speaker 6 (27:39):
That's a danger.

Speaker 12 (27:40):
It's a real danger. Once you start that, do you
start to forget that self important feeling that's what you
say has great import and you know, strangely enough, you
could use that show as a form you can sway people,
and I don't think you should as an entertainment.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
I've got the solution.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
New late night hosts for ABC, Michael loftis, are you
ready ready to serve?

Speaker 9 (28:01):
And this whole thing, I'm having these massive flashbacks to yes,
the one time that President.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Trump retweeted me, mentioned me in a tweet.

Speaker 9 (28:10):
I had just done Fox and Friends. I remember this
joke that I did. I'm like, they're all not funny,
They're all going to get fired and it's going to
be a long, quiet line in the unemployment. It was
a thing like that, and Brian kill Me shot me
at text. He's like, the President was just so anyway nice.
I would love to be the next host, but Hollywood
has decided and I've told this story.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
I think I told it to you, Christian.

Speaker 9 (28:34):
I was out with a right leaning version of The
Daily Show. I was pitching it with a well known
Hollywood producer and Netflix Sinclaire. All these people like, well,
this show is great, this show would be hilarious. We
love everything about this, but we just can't afford to
look friendly to the right. So I mean, I'm like,
in effect, I was canceled ages ago. So yeah, it's

(28:59):
a it's a horrible thing. Trump is hilarious. The flight
comment and the only reason I cares because I'm on it.
If I wasn't, I would And.

Speaker 6 (29:07):
It's the best, It's the best.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Are we closer, Christian to a Michael Loftis live on
ABC than we were before Jimmy Kimmel got suspended, let
go whatever?

Speaker 6 (29:15):
A little bit close? They don't want to make money,
so I mean, it's it's really odd. This is what
I've been saying in the social media posts.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Though you put Shane Gillis and then you put Michael
Loftis on there, all of a sudden, that changes the game.
It's a different equation, right, You're appealing to a very
different element of the audience, and you might even chip
into a little bit the gutfelt audience.

Speaker 6 (29:31):
Yeah, and I think at this point it's too late
for Kimmel and for Colbert and for Seth Meyers day.
Their brand is so etched in stone that they start
to be fair and balanced and tell jokes about all sides,
we wouldn't we wouldn't buy it, you know, and then
their old fans would bannonm and drove, So they can't win.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Jody Colbert gone from CBS, Kimmel appears, gone from ABC.
Are Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers next? Can they survive
this purge?

Speaker 3 (29:54):
I certainly hope not.

Speaker 7 (29:56):
And I just want to say, uh, I don't know
if you know this. I was reading about it, but
Gutfield had like fifty percent more viewership.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Than Kemmel easily.

Speaker 6 (30:06):
I mean, oh yeah.

Speaker 7 (30:07):
So to answer your question that you asked, Christian, I
would say we're probably a lot closer because they're going
to start paying attention to where they're getting ratings and
where the money is. And that's ultimately the only reason
that Jimmy is gone. That's ultimately the only reason that
Coolbert is gone.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
I'm sorry to interrupted.

Speaker 6 (30:24):
The only upside here is that there's you take out
Colbert or your take out Kimmel. Then maybe they're going
to go flock to Myers and Fallon the only thing,
only the only people only you know, hoststanding intle of attrition.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
Yeah, I guess maybe.

Speaker 9 (30:37):
Well, once again it comes back to the authenticity of
it all. I think Fallen has a real shot to
get in popular Fallon though his writing somebody in the
Fallon camp has steered that show towards clips.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Yeah, clips, clips.

Speaker 9 (30:50):
Which on one hand is very smart and very savvy
for today's media. However, Gutfeld, you can cut that into
clips and people can see my clips at the Loftist
Party YouTube promotion. But the thing is, though the Gutfeld
is a genuine there's a there's a genuineness.

Speaker 6 (31:10):
To that show.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
We all believe it. We're all making jokes like that.

Speaker 9 (31:13):
So if Fallon could kind of have a real conversation,
because no one's done it like Johnny since Johnny No,
like you had to prepare to be on Leno, you know,
So what are you.

Speaker 6 (31:23):
Gonna talk about?

Speaker 3 (31:23):
What's you? What's your name? What's okay? Then now then
I'll say this and us and then it's just it's
just a fake it's just fraudulent. Michael loftis he's at Denver.
Improbably details in just a moment.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
To review our nominees for Friday Fool of the Week,
Kamala Harris the identity silos on her VP pick. She
discriminated against Pete booda judge because he was gay. Also
had Matthew Dowd trying to make it all about him
after Kimmel was let go AOC disparaging the memory of
Charlie Kirk in Congress that was something Senator Mazie Herona

(31:54):
with ill timed remark about taking it in the neck,
and then Representative Jasmine Crockett saying that just because someone
has committed a crime, it doesn't make them a criminal.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
To your vote go.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
I want to pick Jasmine because it kind of goes
with the comedic element of the show, but I can't
let AOC go by. But she said it was absolutely reprehensible.
Fool is not even remotely close to what it is,
but I can't. I have to pick her total for AOC.

Speaker 7 (32:18):
Jody Calm, I'm actually gonna go with Jasmine too, just
because that is just a hilarious quote and I can't
go I mean, AOC is just think evil.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Yeah, that's there is.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
A difference, right, Michael Loft, is your vote, my vote
goes for And I say this with no trepidation, no reluctance.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
AOC, AOC, AOC. She is the fool of the week.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Okay, tale of the table, Alexa. We got a couple
of those votes in and added, what do you got
for us? Who is our Friday fool of the week.

Speaker 8 (32:48):
The woman who passed the bar but doesn't believe Jody,
A crime makes you a criminal?

Speaker 10 (32:54):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Crockets off the top roam. Here we go. Let's hear
that one more time, our Friday fool week.

Speaker 11 (33:01):
So when people are like, oh, you know, crime is terrible,
and yes, it is right, like because when somebody goes
out and commits a crime, they don't typically, you know,
say well, I'm a d R, I'm a r M.
I It's not like literally like, it's about, well, how
do you fix it?

Speaker 6 (33:16):
How do you make community safer?

Speaker 11 (33:18):
And I do think that I'm in a unique situation
because I was having the conversations with people that were
going out and committing crimes, and so I understood what
was kind of pushing them there, and so I do
want people to know that just because someone has committed
a crime, it doesn't make them a criminal. That is

(33:40):
completely different being a criminal. It's more so about your mindset.
Committing a crime can come for a lot of different reasons.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Our Friday for the Week Representative Jasmin Crockett love that
the interviewer went interesting Christian total Hollywood in Toto dot
Com Jody Coom coming to a comedy show near you.
I'm gonna I'm gonna wish it into existence. I'm gonna
speak it into the universe.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Jody.

Speaker 8 (34:07):
Yeah, you're gonna secret it right?

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Yes? Are you ready? Let's do it?

Speaker 2 (34:11):
And then coming up tonight And he's at the Denver
Improv that is coming up tonight at seven seven thirty
six thirty seven seven thirty Okay, a little bit of
signed to prepare, He'll be ready, yes, And you can

Is a blast, and beyond, will you do it again?

(34:33):

Speaker 6 (34:37):
He is very very funny. Yeah, No, he's a network
with him.

Speaker 7 (34:40):
He is.

Speaker 6 (34:40):
He's got a gun point in my head. But still,
you know, there's your endorsement.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Cooler store Otherwise, Michael loftis of Grettfeld and of course
at the Denver Improv this weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday
for all of our panel for Alexa, thanks for your
help and to Zach's thanks for his This has been
