Speaker 1 (00:00):
Debra, welcome remotely. Where are you calling us from?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:03):
Thank you, I'm calling you from the beautiful rocky mountains
up in Grand Lake, Colorado and feeling like I'm right
there with you in the studio.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Well beautiful as always. We appreciate you joining us no
matter where you might be, and you can text us
throughout today's program at five seven seven three nine. Now,
the purpose of this hour every single Friday is to
examine where pop culture and politics intersect, but more and
more Christian. It seems like those that are in the
(00:31):
sphere of entertainment are speaking up more in ways that
maybe they didn't before. And not just about Trump, but
in taking these positions I think, in my view, alienate
a great deal of their fan base. We'll start with
Bruce Springsteen. But just your thoughts. You brought this to
my attention. Yeah, they don't care. They just don't care.
(00:52):
They need to speak, they need to say things. They
need to be ill informed and listen.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I could we can always agree to disagree, and I
don't want to be smirch that great American riot, But
so often what they say is just not thoughtful, it's
not base in fact, and it also flies in the
face of their silence when legitimate concerns were happening across
the country. Need we mention a cognitively declining Joe Biden.
(01:18):
Where was Bruce Springsteen when that was happening? Where was
his outrage? Did he do any fundraisers for Biden? He
might have, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I think he did. Yeah, but Kamala, I believe.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
And maybe they weren't like back to back, they weren't together.
But shouldn't he as an American, as a blue collar patriot,
shouldn't be he the outrage that a Democratic Party, one
of our two main parties, hid this decline in the
media along with it. Where is his concern?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And it seems to me these comments seem to amplify
overseas and Deborah brought another example. We'll get to in
a moment about this, but going back in time, even
what I recall and I disagreed with it at the time,
we're talking like over twenty years ago, when the Dixie
Chicks overseas apologized for the United States having George W.
(02:04):
Bush as president, they were blacklisted on country radio stations nationwide.
They really did tank their careers after Wide Open Spaces
was a big international hit album. Here's Bruce Springsteen overseas.
These are the comments that drew so much attention.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
They're removing residents off American street but without due process
of law? Are you boarding under foreign detention centers at prisons?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
This is all happening now.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
The majority of our elected representatives will have failed to
protect the American people from the illusions of an unfit president.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Well, I hate to break it to the boss, but
I think the residents of Colorado, specifically here in a
Rapahole County, that those words are gonna fall upon deaf
ears because this fifteen year old punk illegal alien certainly
got more than his due process after murdering Caitlin Weaver
in a vehicle going ninety miles an hour in a
forty five uninsured, unlicensed to drive, took the vehicle without
(03:21):
his mother's permission, and got a lighter sentence because Amy Padden,
the DA knew that if she came down hard on
this juvenile and he got hard time, he could be
subject to deportation by Ice. And we'll talk to John
Fabricatory coming up in hour number two about that. But
important to note Donald Trump has not been shy to
address these things in the past, and our own mister
(03:43):
President talking about Taylor Swift before.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Has anyone noticed that ever since I said I hate
Dyala Swift, she's no longer hot.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Meanwhile, your favorite president is hotter than ever before.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Believe me, that's Sean Ferrish. Of course, be sure to
tune into him online on X And this from the
President in regards to the comments you heard from Bruce
Springsteen just a moment ago. This is just me now
reading this street social post. I see that highly overrated
Bruce Springsteen goes to a foreign country to speak badly
(04:19):
about the President of the United States.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Never liked him, never liked his music or his radical
left politics. And importantly, he's not a talented guy, just
a pushy, obnoxious jerk who fervently supported crooked Joe Biden
and a mentally incompetent fool and our worst ever president
who came close to destroying our country.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
If I wasn't elected, it would have been gone by now.
Sleepy Joe didn't have a clue as to what he
was doing. But Springsteen is dumb as a rock in
quotes for some reason and couldn't see what was doing
on or could he which is even worse. This dried
out prune of a rocker. His skin is all atrified
and read the cities the keep his mouth shut until
(05:04):
he gets back into the country. That's just standard Fair
getting quotes for some reason. Standard Fair. Don't know why.
Then we'll all see how it goes for him. Deborah.
The response to what Springsteen said and Trump's epic response
on True Social.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
You know, I think I do not need to edit
anything to Trump's response, but one thing that I will say.
You know, Christian, you daled it. You can have your
opinion based on fact. There is some you know, amazing
work done by artists calling out sayings, you know, with
the Vietnam War in the sixties, and there were things
to call out about that not against their truths, but
(05:39):
against the policy. But here it is completely not factual.
On the hypocrisy is what really gets me. GIRs Springstein
calls President Trump incompetent, like Christian was saying, while artists, actors,
people in the media completely ignored the real incompetency when
we still don't know exactly who is running our country
(06:00):
during the four years of the Biden administration, and then
when Bruce Springsteen in that quote abroad said the president
was not protecting Americans, and he tied that in with
a legal immigration I got to tell you, Ryan, you've
pointed out exactly who is not being protected by the
terrible immigration policies under the previous incompetent president, and that
(06:22):
was actually American. So I mean, it's just it's interesting
to me also by the way, you know, stay it abroad.
But really, the reason why you even have the ability
to say whatever you want to is because of the
greatest constitution in the history of mankind, which is in
the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Deborah Flora joining us by a phone, Christian Toto here
and study. I want to build on a point that
Dever just made because this is important historically too Christian
about what an American celebrity says or does overseas compared
to doing it on the mainland. I think there's a
lack of courage that goes along with I'm going to
fit in overseas because they don't like America anyway. But
what I compare this to, as Debra brought up, the
(07:01):
Vietnam War, very unpopular, especially with that generation, the boomers
who were younger. They were protesting on college campuses. But
to Debra's point, there were those that say, hey, I'm
not gonna, you know, protest our troops. They're being sent
there against their will, They're being drafted into Vietnam. But
I don't like the government policy and I don't like
the war. But that line was crossed. Our troops came back.
They were spat upon at airports. There's documentation of this,
(07:24):
and Crosby Stills, A Nash or Bob Dylan. They might
write a song protesting the war, okay, But then Hanoi,
Jane Fonda goes over there and shows allegiance to the
viet Cong. That's a whole different matter.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Yeah, I got you know, there's so much to explore there.
I want to I want to circle back to Springsteen
in a couple of facts. First of all, you know,
if he were a true blue collar troubadour like he
once was, he might write a song about Lake and
Riley and what happened to her. But he probably doesn't
even know her name. You know, he's so detashed, And
I wonder us bring this up from a couple of
years ago. I covered this at Hollywood and Toto, where
(07:57):
there was a lot of outcry about Bruce Springsteen going
back on tour and the ticket prices were exorbitant, and
he left it to his manager to basically run defense
for him and why he's putting those huge prices on there,
And then he later swung back after that wasn't effective
and said, hey, the guys are out there. I want
to do what everyone else is doing my peers. So
that's what happened. That's what they did. And he said, well,
(08:20):
I shouldn't the money go to the guys that are
going to be up there sweating three hours a night
for it. Well, maybe because your fans can't afford it. Okay,
maybe that's right. Maybe you don't need another gazillion dollars.
So so detached from what he is, his brand, he's
not alone. Howard Stern has lost it, Bil Young has
lost it. Throw Bruce Springsteen into that camp and saying
that they're plucking people off the streets without giving the
(08:43):
very specific facts of what they did is really reprehensible.
And I guarantee he won't do the stick when he
comes to America on tours. I don't think it's going
to fly. I don't think he's going to get the response.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
He thinks, first of all, total that was a remarkable
Bruce Springsteen impersonation.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I'm like John.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I welcome you to do that again and again. But Deborah,
I want to focus in on what Bruce Springsteen wasn't
doing isn't doing talking about those ticket prices, That's one thing.
How about the toxic chemical spill in Ohio. You remember
that all those Trump voters, blue collar workers that were affected.
Where was Bruce Springsteen? Then how about the hurricanes it
(09:19):
went through western North Carolina, where the Biden administration ignored them.
Where was Bruce Springsteen? Then? I mean, these are the bedrock.
Even if he's just thinking about it left bring logical.
Who are my fans? What is my fan base? What
do they represent? He's ignored them, and he's become what
his music I think despises as the coastal liberal elite mentality.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I think it's such a great point. And we've seen
a true shift even in the party lines over the
last few decades, and really the Republican Party has become
the party of the blue collar worker. And that is
where someone like Bruce Springsteen's now tone dep and why
I think you would have a hard time saying this
in the United States because the fans who used to
(10:01):
like his music, that he used to represent the working
class folks, they realize now that this leftist, elite ideology
and really misrepresentation of facts no longer resonates with the
very base that he used to have. That's why the
Dixie Chicks took it so hard, because they forgot who
their consumer base was. But I do want to go
(10:22):
back one thing that you brought up, Brian about Jane Fonda,
because I just had to say this. I'm going to
be dating myself a little bit here. My father served
in Vietnam. I was very, very young when he came back,
but I remember he was one of the few lucky
ones that was able to come back and land on
an air force base and it was beautiful and flags
were flying. Minute we got off the air Force base,
(10:44):
we had people throwing things at us, screaming at our cars,
and I, as a young child, couldn't hear it why
they hated it so much. And later in life, my
father refused to let it watch anything that Jane Fonda
was in and I didn't understand it until I looked
at that it had been a police action haf been
been fully declared a war, she would have been arrested
(11:04):
for treason. I actually consider it to be somewhat treason.
If you don't like America, move out and claim another
country that you love, but don't take cheap shots at
the place you call home somewhere else and just move out.
If you actually think you have greater freedom somewhere else,
go there. By all means there is nothing holding you in.
(11:26):
And that's the category that I put some of these
folks in.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, Deborah Flora joining us by phone here on the
right side of Hollywood along with Christian total Ryan shooling
with you and Deborah brought this one of my attention.
Also from overseas at the Camp Film Festival, Robert de Niro,
no stranger to bashing Trump, does it again.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
In my country. We are fighting like hell for the
democracy we once took for granted. And that affects all
of us. That affects all of us here because the art,
democratic art is inclusive. It brings people together with tonight.
(12:04):
Art looks for truth, art embraces diversity, and that's why
is a threat. That's why we are a threat to
autocrats and fascists. America's philistine president has had himself appointed
head of one of our premier cultural institutions. He has
(12:24):
cut funding and support to the arts, humanities, and education,
and now he has announced the one hundred percent tariff
on films produced outside the US. Let that sink in
for a minute. You can't put a price on creativity,
but apparently you can put a tariff on it. Of course,
(12:47):
this is unacceptable. All these attacks are unacceptable, and this
isn't just an American problem, it's a global one.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Like a film, we can't just full sit back and watch.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
We have to act, and we have to act now
without violence, but with great passion and determination. It's time
for everyone who cares about liberty to organize, to protest,
and when there are elections, of course, to vote.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Debraah. I want to focus on this part of it because,
like I said, back to that and even now to
a large extent, I didn't like the so called cancelation
of the Dixie Chicks based on what they said, But
now I view it through a different lens because we're
the ones conservatives being canceled. We're the ones. You are
the ones, along with Gary Sonise and John Void that
had to meet underground for Friends of Aid for fear
(13:42):
of being canceled. We're the ones that will still go
to a Bruce Springsteen or John Mellencamp concert because we
like their music. We'll set their politics aside. Are we
just schmucks and suckers and not willing to stand up
for our principles because you know, people on the left
are willing to cancel artists on the right if they
disagree politically.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Yeah, No, I think we actually are the true conservative.
And first of all, I just have to say this
every time I heard someone misquoted. We are not a democracy.
We are a republic. So let's just make that clear,
Robert de Niro. But by the way, the reality is
we don't cancel because we actually believe the Constitution provides
freedom for everyone to express themselves. We are not the
(14:23):
ones out there targeting that kind of art work that
we don't agree with. You know, I'm a Christian. When
when our national funding went towards a crucifix dypt in Urine,
my only you know, objection to that was that our
money was paying for it, not that somebody couldn't do that.
So that's the reason why we're not canceling in return.
(14:44):
But I do find it quite hilarious that Robert de Niro,
by the way, who says art is inclusive, art embraceive diversity,
not if it does not go with the homogeny and
the one viewpoint that is a lie out and sanctioned
in Hollywood. We had people, and I told this story before.
(15:05):
Ari Emanuel, who runs one of the top agencies, who
and everyone knew about this and runs many of the
talk shows, would walk onto sets and say to everyone there,
if you don't vote for Barack Obama, I will find
out and you will never work in this town again.
The list is long of those who are canceled, or
movies that never get made, or comedians who are canceled
(15:29):
if they dare to actually have a diverse viewpoint, real
true diversity. Think I don't want to cancel them, But
at the time we stand up and correct the false
narrative that people like Robert Denier are.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Spreading and Christian This is an industry, Hollywood. We've talked
about it at length. You can't even qualify for an
Academy award. Lets you check a certain number of wolf
boxes on your production staff or casting Come on, I have.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
To jump in with this. It builds upon what Dever
just said. Variety Magazine today put out a it says,
does being a Morgan Wallen fan make you maga? It says,
can we enjoy the Tennessee Superstars music without seeing red hats?
As eighty years of pop music show, it can be
difficult to separate the art from the artists. You can't
even accept Morgan Wallan as a country superstar because he
(16:16):
may be giving some sort of some little clues that
he might be right of center. That's where we are
in the cults in the culture today, and Variety is
not only aokay with that, they're blasting it from their headlines.
It is disgusting. I mean, here's what gets me the
most angry about all of this. These cowards de Niro
and Springsteen, and they are cowards. Springsteen's on a stage
(16:39):
yelling that to his fans who paid good money to
get lectured to. You know, who's never going to talk
to me or someone like me, or someone's gonna challenge
him on any of his stupid beliefs. And they're stupid. Okay,
he doesn't get challenged. He's a coward. He will never
go on any platform where someone gonna say, you know,
mister Springsteen, you mentioned this, you mentioned this, Actually the
facts are this way, in the facts that way, and
(17:00):
why didn't you stand up on Baba. We just said,
they'll never ever ever do it. There cowards a lot
of them, and the fact they don't stand up for
true diversity, shame on them. They are disgracing themselves. They
are shattering their legacy.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Excep. Final minute is yours. This insular mentality feeds the
projection and the very criticism they have the Nero Springsteen
of those of us on the right there exclusive, they're
the ones that are excluding us, and they don't think
twice about it.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Oh, without a doubt. I mean it's interesting because you know,
I told this story before one of the last projects
we pitched while we were still in Hollywood. It has
a very Americana heart to it, and the studios one
and across the board we're like, yeah, we like it.
We think Americans will like it, but it won't fell
in China. I mean, it's just so I don't know,
(17:49):
it's just so two face. And one of the other
things I'd want to say about this, Robert de Niro
called out President Trump because Trump is now a part
of the Kennedys, as though she is in some way centering.
Let's be really clear, it's the cast of Lady Misarov
who chose not to perform there for President Trump, not
(18:10):
the other way around.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
It is the producers of Hamilton who decided not to
have their show be at the Kennedy Center named after
John F. Kennedy because somehow the President of the United
States is related to it. And ironically, it's going to
come back to buy every single one of these people
on the far left. Lynn Manuel Miranda, the composer of
Hamilton's getting graded from the left, saying he whitewash history
(18:34):
while it is now.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
When it comes to my upcoming nuptials, I think I'm
saying that word right. I'm getting married in October to
the lovely Kelsey Currents. We want to support businesses that
share our values. For instance, Jason Ganall, husband of Heidi Ganaal,
former nominee for governor in the state of Colorado. We
are going to enlist his services through GQ to cater
(18:56):
our reception very tiny. Reception can be very friendly, very small,
but do you want GQ to do that? Because we
know that the Ganals share our values. Kelsey's in mind
also masterpiece cake shop shake Jack Phillips rather in supplying
us with a cake, he does a wonderful job. We
are going to enlist his services for our cake because
we know that Jack shares our values. The same comes
(19:20):
to real estate. Now, Kelsey and I aren't quite in
the market for a home yet, but when we are,
you can bet your bottom dollar and ours that we're
going to be going with Ashley Key. She is faith based,
family minded, and values driven. That's the thing you need
to know. Off the top, specializing in mountain properties, cross
state relocations, luxury properties as well. However, her true passion
(19:44):
is working with quality people, and I hope that Kelsey
and I qualify. I would submit that we do, but
I know that Ashley Key does, and she values doing
what is right, always giving one hundred percent to her
buyers and sellers. Her premier listing services include staging, professional photography,
aeriel and Twilight Shots, all back by the global reach
(20:05):
of Live Southeby's International Realty. Ashley Key fights hard for
her clients and for the causes she believes in, such
as Jeff Coo Kids First, we talked to ash Lindsay
Datko yesterday and since twenty twenty two, Ashley has donated
ten percent of every closing she's made to jeff Co Kids. First,
that's what you need to know about Ashley Key. Keyfrontrangehomes
(20:27):
dot Com is where you can get your journey started.
If you're moving out of state, if somebody's moving in
from out of state, if you're moving across the state,
if you're buying or selling your home, tune into Ashley
Key at Keyfrontrange homes dot com and let Ashley Key
be your trusted guide. With integrity, hustle, and heart. Ashley
is the key to your next move.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
The left is kind of thinking and that kind of
stuff because they are as crazy in their own way,
they're just not as dangerous, right you mean the left
is the left is not.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
As dangerous because they still would say that they are.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
That's an interesting because it seems like the right wingers
are the ones with the guns and this and that,
and we'll.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Take it feels that way.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
But I mean, all of a sudden, Alaska a few years,
I'm looking at who the mass shooters are and this
and that, and it is great I'm.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
Talking about our way of life, which is which is
governed by the type of government we have, and they
are still constitutionalists and institutionalists.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Now have they nibbled at the edges?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yes? Have they invited?
Speaker 7 (21:36):
As always what we were saying with the other thing,
there's always an invited backlash when you go too far. So,
you know, did Joe Biden do things that were imperial
presidency things?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yes, Bill Maher, Unfortunately, I've been doing so well and
sounded like he was coming on over to the side
of common sense and then kill Tony Tony Hinchcliffe, thank god,
on that little exchange set them straight a little and
did so in a pretty diplomatic and gentle way. But
Bill Maher, what are you doing man? Nibbling at the
(22:10):
edges was Chaz Chop nibbling at the edges where the
George Floyd fiery but mostly peaceful riots. Nibbling at the
edges was the trans identifying anti Christian mass shooter in Nashville?
Was that nibbling at the edges? Christ What do you
make of Bill Maher and his comments here that the
(22:30):
left goes too far but they're not quite as bad
as the right.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
It's such a frustrating experience with Bill Maher because he's
been so common sense driven, he's been so willing to
critique his own side, he's been so willing to reach
across the aisle again and again and again, and yet
there's this core of him that has this rabid, sort
of emotionally charged rage against the right that is just
(22:54):
not factually based. It just not You can critique the riot.
There are certainly imperfections all across the bold you could
look at it. But when he goes in this direction,
it's almost like it's like there's a firewall where he
can't really go center right. It always hits this this
this brick, this brick wall that says, no, no, they're evil,
(23:14):
they're the bad ones there, really, and then he'll play
into the well, you know, January sixth, and didn't accept
the outcome of the elections. Meanwhile, the left very off,
it doesn't accept the outcome of the elections. Hillary Clinton,
and this has been brought up to his face, by
the way, by Dave Ruben. Hillary Clinton still believes that
the election was stolen from you know, the twenty sixteen.
She still goes on and on, and he can't process
(23:36):
that so I have complicated feelings for Bill Moore, and
I cut him slack because he's been so good in
so many ways, and just reaching across that aisle and
talking to Kid Rock and talking to Dave Ruben and
talking to Tony Hinchcliff, people who don't align with his worldview.
That's a really big thing in our culture, and it
shouldn't be. It should be microscopically small. But I give
him all the credit in the world. But there is
(23:58):
this end in describable thing that he keeps running into,
that he keeps saying that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Bill Maher, therefore our first nominee for Friday Fool of
the Week, and send those votes in five, seven, seven,
three nine. Kelly will tell you them by the end
of the program. Now, honorable mention, I just want to
get this out there. We'll talk about it in an
hour number two a little bit more James Comy with
the I Stumbled upon the Seashells on the Shore. First
of all, that's lane, we know, come on, we're not stupid.
(24:26):
And then secondly it says eighty six forty seven. And
the only reason he's not a nominee is because there's
no audio of it, so we can't really, you know,
think our teeth into that. But he deserves some mention.
So there you go. There's number two. I guess honorary
with an asterisk. But we go. Now, this is an
issue that's become a touch point, a touchstone here in
(24:48):
a rapahole county where I live. I live in Greenwood Village.
Amy Padden sadly is now my da. Before that, at
John Kelner, before him, at George Brockler, I was living good.
I was feeling good. And then comes this story about
a twenty four year old young woman obliterated in an
intersection by a fifteen year old juvenile illegal alien from Columbia,
(25:13):
who didn't have a license to drive, who is not
in this country legally, who is not insured, who stole
the vehicle from his mother without her permission, who slammed
into this young woman at ninety miles an hour in
a forty five mile an hour zone, and was awarded
with probation because Amy Padden tear coming down her left
cheek got to be the left cheek. Didn't want to
(25:35):
see him get deported. That's who Amy Padden. The Democrats
in Colorado value over you the Colorado citizens. They can
murder you with the car, wantonly and get off because
we don't want to be the bad guys and deport him.
That's the side of the fence that AOC is on.
(25:55):
Another Democrats that would storm ice detention centers without authorization
and then have the wherewithal, have the goal, have the
audacity to say they better not lay a hand on us.
We're on the twenty percent side of this eighty twenty issue.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
If anyone's breaking the law in this situation, it's.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Not members of Congress, it's the Department of Homeland Security.
If people like Tom Holman and Secretary Christine Noan, you
lay a finger on them, we are.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Going to have a problem again.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Eighty twenty here, Christian eighty percent of America is going
to be rooting Tom Holman, Ice and Christine Noman.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Yes, I would think so it hope to be higher. Honestly, Yeah, right,
I'd say. AOC is the one politician on the left
that genuinely scares me because she seems to have She
has charisma, she understands social media, she's very attractive, obviously,
she has a lot of innate skills, and I think
her views, her opinions are just flat out dangerous. I mean,
(26:50):
just that alone is a hint of what she could
bring to this country. It's terrifying again.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Five seven, seven, three nine. To submit your vote, one person,
one vote. Your voice will be heard on this program.
The winner to be declared at the end of today's show.
Final nominee and this required a montage. He's hitting in
the three hole for a reason. It's like a batting order.
He want hearing judge right there right, That's what Christian
Toto is a Yankees fan, would like. But Jake Tapper
(27:19):
doing his magical mystery to he promoting this book that
he's been working on with Alex Thompson of Axios, basically
entitled Biden Who knew he was senile? When nobody told us.
We were none the wiser. We were like Phil Wiser,
the Attorney General in Colorado. We had no idea, no clue,
no inkling. Here it is laid bare Jake Tapper, and
(27:44):
just what a fraud he is.
Speaker 10 (27:46):
You have an entire White House Press corps though, following
him around, and I'm just curious as to whether or
not this kind of trying to hide what was happening
with the president at the time had an impact on
the press like why didn't we hear some of these
details from what they actually saw? And we're dealing with
trying to get information.
Speaker 11 (28:06):
Well, Alex Thompson and I were on the case, as
were lots of other reporters trying to figure out what
was going on behind the scenes. But the bottom line
is the White House was lying not only to the press,
not only to the public, but they were lying to
members of their own cabinet. They were lying to White
House staffers, they were lying to Democratic members of Congress,
(28:27):
to donors about how bad things had gotten. And it
was there that President Biden walked over to George Clooney,
and Clooney realized and other people witnessing realized that Biden
did not recognize him, and Aid said, you know, George,
and the President was like, yeah, sure, how are you,
thanks for being here, and the AID had to say, no,
(28:48):
George Clooney, and it was just shocking for everyone involved.
How do you think it makes little kids with stutters
feel when they see you make a comment like that?
Very clearly a cognitive decline, That's what I'm referring to.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
It makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
You are No, that's so amazing.
Speaker 11 (29:08):
It's so amazing to me that trying to figure out
an answer cognitive Declinesative Biden embraces his stutter talking about it,
while Trump, mox said, exaggerates.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
It, belittles it. He's sharp physically, I mean mentally.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Yeah. I think the question is physically right right or
so right right.
Speaker 11 (29:24):
And the guy who's his chief opponent is only three
or four years younger than I mean. You have questioned
President Biden's age, mental fitness, ability to lead. Of those
supporting Biden, you said, quote, shame on all of you
pretending everything is okay.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
You're leading us and him into a disaster. Do you
worry that you damaged him at all?
Speaker 11 (29:39):
False claims to The Wall Street Journal about President Biden's
mental fitness and acuity quote behind closed doors, Biden's shows signs.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Of slipping unquote.
Speaker 11 (29:49):
The Wall Street Journal is owned by Newscore, which is
run by the Murdocks.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Beyond the headline, there is some critical nuance here.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
The article is mostly based on observations of Republicans, with
former Speaker Kevin McCarthy the only one going on the record.
The Russians are trying to do to make us in
the public not trusting our election integrity. Joe Biden has dimension.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
All this stuff. Behind closed Doors was the title of
an SNL cold open in May that made fun of
people claiming, like Gavin Newsom and others that behind closed doors,
Joe Biden is bouncing off the walls. He's leading the charge.
SNL was making fun of it, but not Jake Tapper. Christian,
(30:29):
you know, the.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Term the death of shame keeps popping up on social media,
and I don't think that even covers Jake Tapper, the
Jake Tapper experience. I don't know how he sleeps at night.
I just don't know how he looks in the mirror.
I don't understand how he is still employed by a
news agency. It is so embarrassing, so baldly fictitious. I mean,
(30:51):
even that classic Joe Scarborough, this is the best Joe Biden.
If you don't believe it, bleep you Even that moment
pales in comparison to the fraud show. I just I
can't imagine the deception that you have to be able
to absorb and stamp down in your soul to go
out there. And he's gonna probably get a lot of
(31:12):
money for this book he's writing called writing. I can't.
I can't process. I mean, I need a psychologist to
come in and really break this down, because it's not
just him, but he is the poster child for this
insane push that the entire world knew that that Joe
Biden was clearly sick, and he pretended he didn't know.
And he's a journalist on the beat. I can't. I
(31:35):
can't think of the words. I can't frame it. I
really can't. I don't know what to say. I'm speechless.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
But when he does come up with the words, you
can find them at Hollywoodintoto dot com and be sure
to subscribe, download, listen to his podcast, Hollywood in Toto
on your favorite podcast platform. Those are the nominees, Bill Maher, AOC,
Jake Tapper, Throwing James call me if you want get
to some of your thoughts at five seven, seven, three
nine to close out this edition of the Right of Hollywood.
After this, I'm very excited for my next meeting coming
(32:04):
up on Wednesday. I believe it is so just a
few days with Trajan Wealth going to plot out my
future in terms of long term wealth investment retirement planning.
Here I am age fifty. It's a little late in
the game. I wish I was Zack's age and doing
this same thing. Zach, you should do this too. I'm
going to recommend at Trajanwealth dot Com is where you
can get started and in this personal consultation one on
(32:27):
one meeting, which I might add is free. I'm going
to get the low down on everything going on in
the markets, expert advice that I don't have privy access to,
and I get it right here in the Denver metro.
I'll be meeting at their offices which are just outside
of Fiddler's Green Greenwood Village DTC. They also have offices
(32:48):
in Broomfield and Loveland if those two, either of those
two are closer for you, and the way you set
up that initial consultation is seven two oh four zero
five thirty three hundred by phone four zero five thirty
three hundred. The Nugget's got a game six win, Okay,
they're going to go to a game seven. Anything can
happen in a game seven. They might win, But you
(33:10):
don't want to put your long term investments on the
line in just one game and have it come down
to a buzzer beater. You want to have that long
term planning that goes along with it that Trajan Wealth
can provide at your local trusted financial fiduciary. And one
more time to get it all started, do it this weekend.
Dial it up online Trajanwealth dot com or buy phone
(33:32):
seven two oh four zero five thirty three hundred. That's
seven two oh four zero five thirty three hundred for
Trajan Wealth, a proud sponsor of Ryan Schuling. Live advisory
service is offered through Trajan Wealth LLC and SEC Registered
Investment advisor paid advertisement. That song, though, is a Vietnam
(33:53):
protest song about the blue collar boys that were sent oversea.
These are the same kind of guys that my mom
grew up with in the blue collar town of River Rouge,
just south of Detroit. She was very angry about that war.
She shared a lot of those views, the anti war
views of Bruce Springsteen, who if you would just realize,
Donald Trump's the most anti war president we've ever had
(34:15):
in our lifetimes, but it's lost on Bruce the Boss,
leading to this text, Ryan people probably pay ridiculous amounts
of money for tickets to see Springsteen perform overseas. Most
were probably not American citizens, not applicable to this audience
or any paying audience. Black Toto, what say you? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (34:34):
I agree? You know, actually kid Rock has been getting
a little political at times at his concerts. I don't
agree with that either. I mean, there are probably liberal
fans there who don't want to hear it. And joy.
When I go see my favorite singers, I do like
when they talk between songs. It makes it a little
more special, a little bit more personal. And if they've
got little anecdotes about why this song came to be,
(34:54):
what happened, maybe some great performances in the past, working
with a colleague, those are magical moments that you can't
get when you just listened to the song on Spotify.
It just doesn't exist. But to turn those moments and
when you played that tape before the audio, the crowd
was not cheering. The crowd was kind of dumb struck
in a way. Good point worn into it and again
it's a not even an American crowd. And listen, by
(35:16):
the way, hey Bruce, in England, they can arrest you
for putting up the wrong social media message. You want
to say something about that, because that's complete Western values.
That are being attacked right there in that country. Maybe
that's more important this text.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Did you know that yesterday was exactly eighty six hundred
and forty seven days since nine to eleven? Was it?
Somebody knew the math on that, Zach, Go think that's
what Komy was talking about. Oh, that's a stretch, pretty sure. No,
And yeah, James Comy was just revealed on CNN the
Secret Service is going to have a little talk with Knock.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Not a little talk.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
They're going to gather for teen crumpets.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
You know, they should do the January sixth thing. We'd
have like tanks and men with weapons outsides.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Kil Yeah, this textter says, I was gonna, I was
gonna it's exactly that many days. Okay, that's wild. So
I got a little bit of chills right there. But
that's not what Kulle was doing with the sea shells
on the sea shore. He's not the smart No, he
wasn't doing that kind of math anyway. I was gonna
vote for Comy, says this texter. But geez, after hearing
(36:21):
Jake Tapper, he wins. He's such a weenie weasel. And
you said something during the break, Christian about Tapper's little
media tour going up next week.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Yeah, he's gonna talk to Megan Kelly. Megan Kelly and
Tapper are technically friends. That's that's the way she described it.
She promised to grill him, and let me tell you,
if she doesn't grill him, I am done with Megan Kelly.
I'm sure she will do exactly that. But I don't
I don't think you can grill him sufficiently and actually
be friends walking out of the studio. So but he
(36:50):
wants to sell books. It's gonna help him sell books.
And I can't imagine what he's gonna say, can't.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
This is from a two time guest on The Megan
Kelly Show, Christian Toto, saying that he's done with Megan
kellif she doesn't grill him. I think she will.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
She will.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
She had what it took. Let me rephrase that to
press Donald Trump during the debate about his comments on women.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
She took a lot of heat, but she did it.
She's tough, she's tough as nail. She'll she'll do fine.
But I don't think that any human alive can do
it enough to make it.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Justifer, this Texter, Nobody in the right mind can say
AOC is attractive texture. I tend to agree with you,
but it's more about what comes out of her mouth. Christian,
defend yourself. You said she was attractive.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
She's an attractive woman.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
What say you, aoc hey your name?
Speaker 4 (37:33):
She's attractive?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Oh man, I do I'm in the minority here. I
don't the buggy eyes, the teeth there a little too
much shapely.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
Listen, she's I think she's conventionally attractive for a politician.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Okay, sliding scale there a little bit. Alex Stein, he's obsessed,
calls her this is these are his words. Is big
boody latina. That's what he calls AOC. Alex.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Shame on you, shame Shall.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
I get the finger right there? Your vote for Fool
of the Week?
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Go? Okay, Tapper.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Here Christian Toto always grateful for your time. Hollywood in
Toto is the podcast also online hollywoodintoto dot com or
thanks to Deborah Floor as well. Stay tuned. John Fabricatory
next on Ryan Schuling Live
Debra, welcome remotely. Where are you calling us from?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:03):
Thank you, I'm calling you from the beautiful rocky mountains
up in Grand Lake, Colorado and feeling like I'm right
there with you in the studio.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Well beautiful as always. We appreciate you joining us no
matter where you might be, and you can text us
throughout today's program at five seven seven three nine. Now,
the purpose of this hour every single Friday is to
examine where pop culture and politics intersect, but more and
more Christian. It seems like those that are in the
(00:31):
sphere of entertainment are speaking up more in ways that
maybe they didn't before. And not just about Trump, but
in taking these positions I think, in my view, alienate
a great deal of their fan base. We'll start with
Bruce Springsteen. But just your thoughts. You brought this to
my attention. Yeah, they don't care. They just don't care.
(00:52):
They need to speak, they need to say things. They
need to be ill informed and listen.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I could we can always agree to disagree, and I
don't want to be smirch that great American riot, But
so often what they say is just not thoughtful, it's
not base in fact, and it also flies in the
face of their silence when legitimate concerns were happening across
the country. Need we mention a cognitively declining Joe Biden.
(01:18):
Where was Bruce Springsteen when that was happening? Where was
his outrage? Did he do any fundraisers for Biden? He
might have, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I think he did. Yeah, but Kamala, I believe.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
And maybe they weren't like back to back, they weren't together.
But shouldn't he as an American, as a blue collar patriot,
shouldn't be he the outrage that a Democratic Party, one
of our two main parties, hid this decline in the
media along with it. Where is his concern?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And it seems to me these comments seem to amplify
overseas and Deborah brought another example. We'll get to in
a moment about this, but going back in time, even
what I recall and I disagreed with it at the time,
we're talking like over twenty years ago, when the Dixie
Chicks overseas apologized for the United States having George W.
(02:04):
Bush as president, they were blacklisted on country radio stations nationwide.
They really did tank their careers after Wide Open Spaces
was a big international hit album. Here's Bruce Springsteen overseas.
These are the comments that drew so much attention.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
They're removing residents off American street but without due process
of law? Are you boarding under foreign detention centers at prisons?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
This is all happening now.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
The majority of our elected representatives will have failed to
protect the American people from the illusions of an unfit president.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Well, I hate to break it to the boss, but
I think the residents of Colorado, specifically here in a
Rapahole County, that those words are gonna fall upon deaf
ears because this fifteen year old punk illegal alien certainly
got more than his due process after murdering Caitlin Weaver
in a vehicle going ninety miles an hour in a
forty five uninsured, unlicensed to drive, took the vehicle without
(03:21):
his mother's permission, and got a lighter sentence because Amy Padden,
the DA knew that if she came down hard on
this juvenile and he got hard time, he could be
subject to deportation by Ice. And we'll talk to John
Fabricatory coming up in hour number two about that. But
important to note Donald Trump has not been shy to
address these things in the past, and our own mister
(03:43):
President talking about Taylor Swift before.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Has anyone noticed that ever since I said I hate
Dyala Swift, she's no longer hot.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Meanwhile, your favorite president is hotter than ever before.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Believe me, that's Sean Ferrish. Of course, be sure to
tune into him online on X And this from the
President in regards to the comments you heard from Bruce
Springsteen just a moment ago. This is just me now
reading this street social post. I see that highly overrated
Bruce Springsteen goes to a foreign country to speak badly
(04:19):
about the President of the United States.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Never liked him, never liked his music or his radical
left politics. And importantly, he's not a talented guy, just
a pushy, obnoxious jerk who fervently supported crooked Joe Biden
and a mentally incompetent fool and our worst ever president
who came close to destroying our country.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
If I wasn't elected, it would have been gone by now.
Sleepy Joe didn't have a clue as to what he
was doing. But Springsteen is dumb as a rock in
quotes for some reason and couldn't see what was doing
on or could he which is even worse. This dried
out prune of a rocker. His skin is all atrified
and read the cities the keep his mouth shut until
(05:04):
he gets back into the country. That's just standard Fair
getting quotes for some reason. Standard Fair. Don't know why.
Then we'll all see how it goes for him. Deborah.
The response to what Springsteen said and Trump's epic response
on True Social.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
You know, I think I do not need to edit
anything to Trump's response, but one thing that I will say.
You know, Christian, you daled it. You can have your
opinion based on fact. There is some you know, amazing
work done by artists calling out sayings, you know, with
the Vietnam War in the sixties, and there were things
to call out about that not against their truths, but
(05:39):
against the policy. But here it is completely not factual.
On the hypocrisy is what really gets me. GIRs Springstein
calls President Trump incompetent, like Christian was saying, while artists, actors,
people in the media completely ignored the real incompetency when
we still don't know exactly who is running our country
(06:00):
during the four years of the Biden administration, and then
when Bruce Springsteen in that quote abroad said the president
was not protecting Americans, and he tied that in with
a legal immigration I got to tell you, Ryan, you've
pointed out exactly who is not being protected by the
terrible immigration policies under the previous incompetent president, and that
(06:22):
was actually American. So I mean, it's just it's interesting
to me also by the way, you know, stay it abroad.
But really, the reason why you even have the ability
to say whatever you want to is because of the
greatest constitution in the history of mankind, which is in
the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Deborah Flora joining us by a phone, Christian Toto here
and study. I want to build on a point that
Dever just made because this is important historically too Christian
about what an American celebrity says or does overseas compared
to doing it on the mainland. I think there's a
lack of courage that goes along with I'm going to
fit in overseas because they don't like America anyway. But
what I compare this to, as Debra brought up, the
(07:01):
Vietnam War, very unpopular, especially with that generation, the boomers
who were younger. They were protesting on college campuses. But
to Debra's point, there were those that say, hey, I'm
not gonna, you know, protest our troops. They're being sent
there against their will, They're being drafted into Vietnam. But
I don't like the government policy and I don't like
the war. But that line was crossed. Our troops came back.
They were spat upon at airports. There's documentation of this,
(07:24):
and Crosby Stills, A Nash or Bob Dylan. They might
write a song protesting the war, okay, But then Hanoi,
Jane Fonda goes over there and shows allegiance to the
viet Cong. That's a whole different matter.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Yeah, I got you know, there's so much to explore there.
I want to I want to circle back to Springsteen
in a couple of facts. First of all, you know,
if he were a true blue collar troubadour like he
once was, he might write a song about Lake and
Riley and what happened to her. But he probably doesn't
even know her name. You know, he's so detashed, And
I wonder us bring this up from a couple of
years ago. I covered this at Hollywood and Toto, where
(07:57):
there was a lot of outcry about Bruce Springsteen going
back on tour and the ticket prices were exorbitant, and
he left it to his manager to basically run defense
for him and why he's putting those huge prices on there,
And then he later swung back after that wasn't effective
and said, hey, the guys are out there. I want
to do what everyone else is doing my peers. So
that's what happened. That's what they did. And he said, well,
(08:20):
I shouldn't the money go to the guys that are
going to be up there sweating three hours a night
for it. Well, maybe because your fans can't afford it. Okay,
maybe that's right. Maybe you don't need another gazillion dollars.
So so detached from what he is, his brand, he's
not alone. Howard Stern has lost it, Bil Young has
lost it. Throw Bruce Springsteen into that camp and saying
that they're plucking people off the streets without giving the
(08:43):
very specific facts of what they did is really reprehensible.
And I guarantee he won't do the stick when he
comes to America on tours. I don't think it's going
to fly. I don't think he's going to get the response.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
He thinks, first of all, total that was a remarkable
Bruce Springsteen impersonation.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I'm like John.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I welcome you to do that again and again. But Deborah,
I want to focus in on what Bruce Springsteen wasn't
doing isn't doing talking about those ticket prices, That's one thing.
How about the toxic chemical spill in Ohio. You remember
that all those Trump voters, blue collar workers that were affected.
Where was Bruce Springsteen? Then how about the hurricanes it
(09:19):
went through western North Carolina, where the Biden administration ignored them.
Where was Bruce Springsteen? Then? I mean, these are the bedrock.
Even if he's just thinking about it left bring logical.
Who are my fans? What is my fan base? What
do they represent? He's ignored them, and he's become what
his music I think despises as the coastal liberal elite mentality.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I think it's such a great point. And we've seen
a true shift even in the party lines over the
last few decades, and really the Republican Party has become
the party of the blue collar worker. And that is
where someone like Bruce Springsteen's now tone dep and why
I think you would have a hard time saying this
in the United States because the fans who used to
(10:01):
like his music, that he used to represent the working
class folks, they realize now that this leftist, elite ideology
and really misrepresentation of facts no longer resonates with the
very base that he used to have. That's why the
Dixie Chicks took it so hard, because they forgot who
their consumer base was. But I do want to go
(10:22):
back one thing that you brought up, Brian about Jane Fonda,
because I just had to say this. I'm going to
be dating myself a little bit here. My father served
in Vietnam. I was very, very young when he came back,
but I remember he was one of the few lucky
ones that was able to come back and land on
an air force base and it was beautiful and flags
were flying. Minute we got off the air Force base,
(10:44):
we had people throwing things at us, screaming at our cars,
and I, as a young child, couldn't hear it why
they hated it so much. And later in life, my
father refused to let it watch anything that Jane Fonda
was in and I didn't understand it until I looked
at that it had been a police action haf been
been fully declared a war, she would have been arrested
(11:04):
for treason. I actually consider it to be somewhat treason.
If you don't like America, move out and claim another
country that you love, but don't take cheap shots at
the place you call home somewhere else and just move out.
If you actually think you have greater freedom somewhere else,
go there. By all means there is nothing holding you in.
(11:26):
And that's the category that I put some of these
folks in.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, Deborah Flora joining us by phone here on the
right side of Hollywood along with Christian total Ryan shooling
with you and Deborah brought this one of my attention.
Also from overseas at the Camp Film Festival, Robert de Niro,
no stranger to bashing Trump, does it again.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
In my country. We are fighting like hell for the
democracy we once took for granted. And that affects all
of us. That affects all of us here because the art,
democratic art is inclusive. It brings people together with tonight.
(12:04):
Art looks for truth, art embraces diversity, and that's why
is a threat. That's why we are a threat to
autocrats and fascists. America's philistine president has had himself appointed
head of one of our premier cultural institutions. He has
(12:24):
cut funding and support to the arts, humanities, and education,
and now he has announced the one hundred percent tariff
on films produced outside the US. Let that sink in
for a minute. You can't put a price on creativity,
but apparently you can put a tariff on it. Of course,
(12:47):
this is unacceptable. All these attacks are unacceptable, and this
isn't just an American problem, it's a global one.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Like a film, we can't just full sit back and watch.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
We have to act, and we have to act now
without violence, but with great passion and determination. It's time
for everyone who cares about liberty to organize, to protest,
and when there are elections, of course, to vote.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Debraah. I want to focus on this part of it because,
like I said, back to that and even now to
a large extent, I didn't like the so called cancelation
of the Dixie Chicks based on what they said, But
now I view it through a different lens because we're
the ones conservatives being canceled. We're the ones. You are
the ones, along with Gary Sonise and John Void that
had to meet underground for Friends of Aid for fear
(13:42):
of being canceled. We're the ones that will still go
to a Bruce Springsteen or John Mellencamp concert because we
like their music. We'll set their politics aside. Are we
just schmucks and suckers and not willing to stand up
for our principles because you know, people on the left
are willing to cancel artists on the right if they
disagree politically.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Yeah, No, I think we actually are the true conservative.
And first of all, I just have to say this
every time I heard someone misquoted. We are not a democracy.
We are a republic. So let's just make that clear,
Robert de Niro. But by the way, the reality is
we don't cancel because we actually believe the Constitution provides
freedom for everyone to express themselves. We are not the
(14:23):
ones out there targeting that kind of art work that
we don't agree with. You know, I'm a Christian. When
when our national funding went towards a crucifix dypt in Urine,
my only you know, objection to that was that our
money was paying for it, not that somebody couldn't do that.
So that's the reason why we're not canceling in return.
(14:44):
But I do find it quite hilarious that Robert de Niro,
by the way, who says art is inclusive, art embraceive diversity,
not if it does not go with the homogeny and
the one viewpoint that is a lie out and sanctioned
in Hollywood. We had people, and I told this story before.
(15:05):
Ari Emanuel, who runs one of the top agencies, who
and everyone knew about this and runs many of the
talk shows, would walk onto sets and say to everyone there,
if you don't vote for Barack Obama, I will find
out and you will never work in this town again.
The list is long of those who are canceled, or
movies that never get made, or comedians who are canceled
(15:29):
if they dare to actually have a diverse viewpoint, real
true diversity. Think I don't want to cancel them, But
at the time we stand up and correct the false
narrative that people like Robert Denier are.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Spreading and Christian This is an industry, Hollywood. We've talked
about it at length. You can't even qualify for an
Academy award. Lets you check a certain number of wolf
boxes on your production staff or casting Come on, I have.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
To jump in with this. It builds upon what Dever
just said. Variety Magazine today put out a it says,
does being a Morgan Wallen fan make you maga? It says,
can we enjoy the Tennessee Superstars music without seeing red hats?
As eighty years of pop music show, it can be
difficult to separate the art from the artists. You can't
even accept Morgan Wallan as a country superstar because he
(16:16):
may be giving some sort of some little clues that
he might be right of center. That's where we are
in the cults in the culture today, and Variety is
not only aokay with that, they're blasting it from their headlines.
It is disgusting. I mean, here's what gets me the
most angry about all of this. These cowards de Niro
and Springsteen, and they are cowards. Springsteen's on a stage
(16:39):
yelling that to his fans who paid good money to
get lectured to. You know, who's never going to talk
to me or someone like me, or someone's gonna challenge
him on any of his stupid beliefs. And they're stupid. Okay,
he doesn't get challenged. He's a coward. He will never
go on any platform where someone gonna say, you know,
mister Springsteen, you mentioned this, you mentioned this, Actually the
facts are this way, in the facts that way, and
(17:00):
why didn't you stand up on Baba. We just said,
they'll never ever ever do it. There cowards a lot
of them, and the fact they don't stand up for
true diversity, shame on them. They are disgracing themselves. They
are shattering their legacy.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Excep. Final minute is yours. This insular mentality feeds the
projection and the very criticism they have the Nero Springsteen
of those of us on the right there exclusive, they're
the ones that are excluding us, and they don't think
twice about it.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Oh, without a doubt. I mean it's interesting because you know,
I told this story before one of the last projects
we pitched while we were still in Hollywood. It has
a very Americana heart to it, and the studios one
and across the board we're like, yeah, we like it.
We think Americans will like it, but it won't fell
in China. I mean, it's just so I don't know,
(17:49):
it's just so two face. And one of the other
things I'd want to say about this, Robert de Niro
called out President Trump because Trump is now a part
of the Kennedys, as though she is in some way centering.
Let's be really clear, it's the cast of Lady Misarov
who chose not to perform there for President Trump, not
(18:10):
the other way around.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
It is the producers of Hamilton who decided not to
have their show be at the Kennedy Center named after
John F. Kennedy because somehow the President of the United
States is related to it. And ironically, it's going to
come back to buy every single one of these people
on the far left. Lynn Manuel Miranda, the composer of
Hamilton's getting graded from the left, saying he whitewash history
(18:34):
while it is now.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
When it comes to my upcoming nuptials, I think I'm
saying that word right. I'm getting married in October to
the lovely Kelsey Currents. We want to support businesses that
share our values. For instance, Jason Ganall, husband of Heidi Ganaal,
former nominee for governor in the state of Colorado. We
are going to enlist his services through GQ to cater
(18:56):
our reception very tiny. Reception can be very friendly, very small,
but do you want GQ to do that? Because we
know that the Ganals share our values. Kelsey's in mind
also masterpiece cake shop shake Jack Phillips rather in supplying
us with a cake, he does a wonderful job. We
are going to enlist his services for our cake because
we know that Jack shares our values. The same comes
(19:20):
to real estate. Now, Kelsey and I aren't quite in
the market for a home yet, but when we are,
you can bet your bottom dollar and ours that we're
going to be going with Ashley Key. She is faith based,
family minded, and values driven. That's the thing you need
to know. Off the top, specializing in mountain properties, cross
state relocations, luxury properties as well. However, her true passion
(19:44):
is working with quality people, and I hope that Kelsey
and I qualify. I would submit that we do, but
I know that Ashley Key does, and she values doing
what is right, always giving one hundred percent to her
buyers and sellers. Her premier listing services include staging, professional photography,
aeriel and Twilight Shots, all back by the global reach
(20:05):
of Live Southeby's International Realty. Ashley Key fights hard for
her clients and for the causes she believes in, such
as Jeff Coo Kids First, we talked to ash Lindsay
Datko yesterday and since twenty twenty two, Ashley has donated
ten percent of every closing she's made to jeff Co Kids. First,
that's what you need to know about Ashley Key. Keyfrontrangehomes
(20:27):
dot Com is where you can get your journey started.
If you're moving out of state, if somebody's moving in
from out of state, if you're moving across the state,
if you're buying or selling your home, tune into Ashley
Key at Keyfrontrange homes dot com and let Ashley Key
be your trusted guide. With integrity, hustle, and heart. Ashley
is the key to your next move.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
The left is kind of thinking and that kind of
stuff because they are as crazy in their own way,
they're just not as dangerous, right you mean the left
is the left is not.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
As dangerous because they still would say that they are.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
That's an interesting because it seems like the right wingers
are the ones with the guns and this and that,
and we'll.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Take it feels that way.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
But I mean, all of a sudden, Alaska a few years,
I'm looking at who the mass shooters are and this
and that, and it is great I'm.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
Talking about our way of life, which is which is
governed by the type of government we have, and they
are still constitutionalists and institutionalists.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Now have they nibbled at the edges?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yes? Have they invited?
Speaker 7 (21:36):
As always what we were saying with the other thing,
there's always an invited backlash when you go too far. So,
you know, did Joe Biden do things that were imperial
presidency things?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yes, Bill Maher, Unfortunately, I've been doing so well and
sounded like he was coming on over to the side
of common sense and then kill Tony Tony Hinchcliffe, thank god,
on that little exchange set them straight a little and
did so in a pretty diplomatic and gentle way. But
Bill Maher, what are you doing man? Nibbling at the
(22:10):
edges was Chaz Chop nibbling at the edges where the
George Floyd fiery but mostly peaceful riots. Nibbling at the
edges was the trans identifying anti Christian mass shooter in Nashville?
Was that nibbling at the edges? Christ What do you
make of Bill Maher and his comments here that the
(22:30):
left goes too far but they're not quite as bad
as the right.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
It's such a frustrating experience with Bill Maher because he's
been so common sense driven, he's been so willing to
critique his own side, he's been so willing to reach
across the aisle again and again and again, and yet
there's this core of him that has this rabid, sort
of emotionally charged rage against the right that is just
(22:54):
not factually based. It just not You can critique the riot.
There are certainly imperfections all across the bold you could
look at it. But when he goes in this direction,
it's almost like it's like there's a firewall where he
can't really go center right. It always hits this this
this brick, this brick wall that says, no, no, they're evil,
(23:14):
they're the bad ones there, really, and then he'll play
into the well, you know, January sixth, and didn't accept
the outcome of the elections. Meanwhile, the left very off,
it doesn't accept the outcome of the elections. Hillary Clinton,
and this has been brought up to his face, by
the way, by Dave Ruben. Hillary Clinton still believes that
the election was stolen from you know, the twenty sixteen.
She still goes on and on, and he can't process
(23:36):
that so I have complicated feelings for Bill Moore, and
I cut him slack because he's been so good in
so many ways, and just reaching across that aisle and
talking to Kid Rock and talking to Dave Ruben and
talking to Tony Hinchcliff, people who don't align with his worldview.
That's a really big thing in our culture, and it
shouldn't be. It should be microscopically small. But I give
him all the credit in the world. But there is
(23:58):
this end in describable thing that he keeps running into,
that he keeps saying that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Bill Maher, therefore our first nominee for Friday Fool of
the Week, and send those votes in five, seven, seven,
three nine. Kelly will tell you them by the end
of the program. Now, honorable mention, I just want to
get this out there. We'll talk about it in an
hour number two a little bit more James Comy with
the I Stumbled upon the Seashells on the Shore. First
of all, that's lane, we know, come on, we're not stupid.
(24:26):
And then secondly it says eighty six forty seven. And
the only reason he's not a nominee is because there's
no audio of it, so we can't really, you know,
think our teeth into that. But he deserves some mention.
So there you go. There's number two. I guess honorary
with an asterisk. But we go. Now, this is an
issue that's become a touch point, a touchstone here in
(24:48):
a rapahole county where I live. I live in Greenwood Village.
Amy Padden sadly is now my da. Before that, at
John Kelner, before him, at George Brockler, I was living good.
I was feeling good. And then comes this story about
a twenty four year old young woman obliterated in an
intersection by a fifteen year old juvenile illegal alien from Columbia,
(25:13):
who didn't have a license to drive, who is not
in this country legally, who is not insured, who stole
the vehicle from his mother without her permission, who slammed
into this young woman at ninety miles an hour in
a forty five mile an hour zone, and was awarded
with probation because Amy Padden tear coming down her left
cheek got to be the left cheek. Didn't want to
(25:35):
see him get deported. That's who Amy Padden. The Democrats
in Colorado value over you the Colorado citizens. They can
murder you with the car, wantonly and get off because
we don't want to be the bad guys and deport him.
That's the side of the fence that AOC is on.
(25:55):
Another Democrats that would storm ice detention centers without authorization
and then have the wherewithal, have the goal, have the
audacity to say they better not lay a hand on us.
We're on the twenty percent side of this eighty twenty issue.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
If anyone's breaking the law in this situation, it's.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Not members of Congress, it's the Department of Homeland Security.
If people like Tom Holman and Secretary Christine Noan, you
lay a finger on them, we are.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Going to have a problem again.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Eighty twenty here, Christian eighty percent of America is going
to be rooting Tom Holman, Ice and Christine Noman.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Yes, I would think so it hope to be higher. Honestly, Yeah, right,
I'd say. AOC is the one politician on the left
that genuinely scares me because she seems to have She
has charisma, she understands social media, she's very attractive, obviously,
she has a lot of innate skills, and I think
her views, her opinions are just flat out dangerous. I mean,
(26:50):
just that alone is a hint of what she could
bring to this country. It's terrifying again.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Five seven, seven, three nine. To submit your vote, one person,
one vote. Your voice will be heard on this program.
The winner to be declared at the end of today's show.
Final nominee and this required a montage. He's hitting in
the three hole for a reason. It's like a batting order.
He want hearing judge right there right, That's what Christian
Toto is a Yankees fan, would like. But Jake Tapper
(27:19):
doing his magical mystery to he promoting this book that
he's been working on with Alex Thompson of Axios, basically
entitled Biden Who knew he was senile? When nobody told us.
We were none the wiser. We were like Phil Wiser,
the Attorney General in Colorado. We had no idea, no clue,
no inkling. Here it is laid bare Jake Tapper, and
(27:44):
just what a fraud he is.
Speaker 10 (27:46):
You have an entire White House Press corps though, following
him around, and I'm just curious as to whether or
not this kind of trying to hide what was happening
with the president at the time had an impact on
the press like why didn't we hear some of these
details from what they actually saw? And we're dealing with
trying to get information.
Speaker 11 (28:06):
Well, Alex Thompson and I were on the case, as
were lots of other reporters trying to figure out what
was going on behind the scenes. But the bottom line
is the White House was lying not only to the press,
not only to the public, but they were lying to
members of their own cabinet. They were lying to White
House staffers, they were lying to Democratic members of Congress,
(28:27):
to donors about how bad things had gotten. And it
was there that President Biden walked over to George Clooney,
and Clooney realized and other people witnessing realized that Biden
did not recognize him, and Aid said, you know, George,
and the President was like, yeah, sure, how are you,
thanks for being here, and the AID had to say, no,
(28:48):
George Clooney, and it was just shocking for everyone involved.
How do you think it makes little kids with stutters
feel when they see you make a comment like that?
Very clearly a cognitive decline, That's what I'm referring to.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
It makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
You are No, that's so amazing.
Speaker 11 (29:08):
It's so amazing to me that trying to figure out
an answer cognitive Declinesative Biden embraces his stutter talking about it,
while Trump, mox said, exaggerates.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
It, belittles it. He's sharp physically, I mean mentally.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Yeah. I think the question is physically right right or
so right right.
Speaker 11 (29:24):
And the guy who's his chief opponent is only three
or four years younger than I mean. You have questioned
President Biden's age, mental fitness, ability to lead. Of those
supporting Biden, you said, quote, shame on all of you
pretending everything is okay.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
You're leading us and him into a disaster. Do you
worry that you damaged him at all?
Speaker 11 (29:39):
False claims to The Wall Street Journal about President Biden's
mental fitness and acuity quote behind closed doors, Biden's shows signs.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Of slipping unquote.
Speaker 11 (29:49):
The Wall Street Journal is owned by Newscore, which is
run by the Murdocks.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Beyond the headline, there is some critical nuance here.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
The article is mostly based on observations of Republicans, with
former Speaker Kevin McCarthy the only one going on the record.
The Russians are trying to do to make us in
the public not trusting our election integrity. Joe Biden has dimension.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
All this stuff. Behind closed Doors was the title of
an SNL cold open in May that made fun of
people claiming, like Gavin Newsom and others that behind closed doors,
Joe Biden is bouncing off the walls. He's leading the charge.
SNL was making fun of it, but not Jake Tapper. Christian,
(30:29):
you know, the.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Term the death of shame keeps popping up on social media,
and I don't think that even covers Jake Tapper, the
Jake Tapper experience. I don't know how he sleeps at night.
I just don't know how he looks in the mirror.
I don't understand how he is still employed by a
news agency. It is so embarrassing, so baldly fictitious. I mean,
(30:51):
even that classic Joe Scarborough, this is the best Joe Biden.
If you don't believe it, bleep you Even that moment
pales in comparison to the fraud show. I just I
can't imagine the deception that you have to be able
to absorb and stamp down in your soul to go
out there. And he's gonna probably get a lot of
(31:12):
money for this book he's writing called writing. I can't.
I can't process. I mean, I need a psychologist to
come in and really break this down, because it's not
just him, but he is the poster child for this
insane push that the entire world knew that that Joe
Biden was clearly sick, and he pretended he didn't know.
And he's a journalist on the beat. I can't. I
(31:35):
can't think of the words. I can't frame it. I
really can't. I don't know what to say. I'm speechless.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
But when he does come up with the words, you
can find them at Hollywoodintoto dot com and be sure
to subscribe, download, listen to his podcast, Hollywood in Toto
on your favorite podcast platform. Those are the nominees, Bill Maher, AOC,
Jake Tapper, Throwing James call me if you want get
to some of your thoughts at five seven, seven, three
nine to close out this edition of the Right of Hollywood.
After this, I'm very excited for my next meeting coming
(32:04):
up on Wednesday. I believe it is so just a
few days with Trajan Wealth going to plot out my
future in terms of long term wealth investment retirement planning.
Here I am age fifty. It's a little late in
the game. I wish I was Zack's age and doing
this same thing. Zach, you should do this too. I'm
going to recommend at Trajanwealth dot Com is where you
can get started and in this personal consultation one on
(32:27):
one meeting, which I might add is free. I'm going
to get the low down on everything going on in
the markets, expert advice that I don't have privy access to,
and I get it right here in the Denver metro.
I'll be meeting at their offices which are just outside
of Fiddler's Green Greenwood Village DTC. They also have offices
(32:48):
in Broomfield and Loveland if those two, either of those
two are closer for you, and the way you set
up that initial consultation is seven two oh four zero
five thirty three hundred by phone four zero five thirty
three hundred. The Nugget's got a game six win, Okay,
they're going to go to a game seven. Anything can
happen in a game seven. They might win, But you
(33:10):
don't want to put your long term investments on the
line in just one game and have it come down
to a buzzer beater. You want to have that long
term planning that goes along with it that Trajan Wealth
can provide at your local trusted financial fiduciary. And one
more time to get it all started, do it this weekend.
Dial it up online Trajanwealth dot com or buy phone
(33:32):
seven two oh four zero five thirty three hundred. That's
seven two oh four zero five thirty three hundred for
Trajan Wealth, a proud sponsor of Ryan Schuling. Live advisory
service is offered through Trajan Wealth LLC and SEC Registered
Investment advisor paid advertisement. That song, though, is a Vietnam
(33:53):
protest song about the blue collar boys that were sent oversea.
These are the same kind of guys that my mom
grew up with in the blue collar town of River Rouge,
just south of Detroit. She was very angry about that war.
She shared a lot of those views, the anti war
views of Bruce Springsteen, who if you would just realize,
Donald Trump's the most anti war president we've ever had
(34:15):
in our lifetimes, but it's lost on Bruce the Boss,
leading to this text, Ryan people probably pay ridiculous amounts
of money for tickets to see Springsteen perform overseas. Most
were probably not American citizens, not applicable to this audience
or any paying audience. Black Toto, what say you? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (34:34):
I agree? You know, actually kid Rock has been getting
a little political at times at his concerts. I don't
agree with that either. I mean, there are probably liberal
fans there who don't want to hear it. And joy.
When I go see my favorite singers, I do like
when they talk between songs. It makes it a little
more special, a little bit more personal. And if they've
got little anecdotes about why this song came to be,
(34:54):
what happened, maybe some great performances in the past, working
with a colleague, those are magical moments that you can't
get when you just listened to the song on Spotify.
It just doesn't exist. But to turn those moments and
when you played that tape before the audio, the crowd
was not cheering. The crowd was kind of dumb struck
in a way. Good point worn into it and again
it's a not even an American crowd. And listen, by
(35:16):
the way, hey Bruce, in England, they can arrest you
for putting up the wrong social media message. You want
to say something about that, because that's complete Western values.
That are being attacked right there in that country. Maybe
that's more important this text.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Did you know that yesterday was exactly eighty six hundred
and forty seven days since nine to eleven? Was it?
Somebody knew the math on that, Zach, Go think that's
what Komy was talking about. Oh, that's a stretch, pretty sure. No,
And yeah, James Comy was just revealed on CNN the
Secret Service is going to have a little talk with Knock.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Not a little talk.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
They're going to gather for teen crumpets.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
You know, they should do the January sixth thing. We'd
have like tanks and men with weapons outsides.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Kil Yeah, this textter says, I was gonna, I was
gonna it's exactly that many days. Okay, that's wild. So
I got a little bit of chills right there. But
that's not what Kulle was doing with the sea shells
on the sea shore. He's not the smart No, he
wasn't doing that kind of math anyway. I was gonna
vote for Comy, says this texter. But geez, after hearing
(36:21):
Jake Tapper, he wins. He's such a weenie weasel. And
you said something during the break, Christian about Tapper's little
media tour going up next week.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Yeah, he's gonna talk to Megan Kelly. Megan Kelly and
Tapper are technically friends. That's that's the way she described it.
She promised to grill him, and let me tell you,
if she doesn't grill him, I am done with Megan Kelly.
I'm sure she will do exactly that. But I don't
I don't think you can grill him sufficiently and actually
be friends walking out of the studio. So but he
(36:50):
wants to sell books. It's gonna help him sell books.
And I can't imagine what he's gonna say, can't.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
This is from a two time guest on The Megan
Kelly Show, Christian Toto, saying that he's done with Megan
kellif she doesn't grill him. I think she will.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
She will.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
She had what it took. Let me rephrase that to
press Donald Trump during the debate about his comments on women.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
She took a lot of heat, but she did it.
She's tough, she's tough as nail. She'll she'll do fine.
But I don't think that any human alive can do
it enough to make it.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Justifer, this Texter, Nobody in the right mind can say
AOC is attractive texture. I tend to agree with you,
but it's more about what comes out of her mouth. Christian,
defend yourself. You said she was attractive.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
She's an attractive woman.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
What say you, aoc hey your name?
Speaker 4 (37:33):
She's attractive?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Oh man, I do I'm in the minority here. I
don't the buggy eyes, the teeth there a little too
much shapely.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
Listen, she's I think she's conventionally attractive for a politician.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Okay, sliding scale there a little bit. Alex Stein, he's obsessed,
calls her this is these are his words. Is big
boody latina. That's what he calls AOC. Alex.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Shame on you, shame Shall.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
I get the finger right there? Your vote for Fool
of the Week?
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Go? Okay, Tapper.
Speaker 1 (38:07):

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
