We do have a text message from a good googer here,
since Michael, when you look at the opening screen on
your iHeartRadio app, after you've got the presets, you can
scan and all, that's the new stuff. Pull your head
out of your butt.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Pull your head out of your butt.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yes, you've got presets and scan and all. That's that.
That's the new stuff. Pull your head out of your butt.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Oh oh, you mean already this morning somebody's telling me
to pull my head on my butt.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, it only took a few minutes.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Well, you know what, you know what I would say
to them? Mean you me? You, I'm I did more
thinking driving in today than I normally do because that
that insane program Foxing's Friends.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
What that's why you're already so grouchy?

Speaker 1 (06:20):
It is? You know, I think maybe it is why
I'm already so grouchy. So Fox and Friends look up here.
Governor Polus accused Trump of making up gang crisis. Ha ha.
Maybe they're also maybe.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
They're maybe they're all they've arrested nineteen. Huh yesterday it
was fourteen fourteen.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Announced nineteen. So there's nothing to see here, just move along.
But they're talking about the crime situation in the country,
and they're talking about, for example, Tom Homan, the borders
are has announced in Chicago, or did announce in Chicago,

(07:00):
that there's a federal statute that says harboring if you
harbor a federal criminal fugitive, that's a felony. And he's
going to start if he can prove that mayors and
city councilmen or whomever are harboring a fugitive, someone that

(07:20):
ICE is looking for, or someone who is in the
country illegally, he's going to start arresting them. And I'm thinking, oh, man,
there's not a popcorn tub big enough there's not. I mean,
I'm going to need one of those, you know, the
barrels you usually get your beer in your kegs a beer,

(07:41):
I'm going to need a keg at tequila because man,
do I want to watch that? Then they swerved in
to talking about crime in the country, and the announcement
was that the smashing grabs are back. Apparently there have
been some several smashing grabs this week, and that Walmart
this I think this, I think they said, the second

(08:03):
largest employer behind Amazon, private employer, has decided to put
body cams on some, if not all, of their employees
so that when they encounter someone, they can turn on
their body cam, or if they if there's a smash
and grab going on, they can turn on their body

(08:25):
cam and start recording it. And then that swerved into
but they're going to have to stop allowing people to
wear masks in public, and I thought, holy cow, how
fed up is this country that we try to mandate masks?

(08:48):
This company right here mandated do you remember that dragon when?
And in fact, most of us ignored the company policy
of masks. And I am particular because you know, I
walk in this door in the morning and walk unless today,
I like put my extra dight coking the refrigerator, but
even then I don't walk within twenty feet of anybody.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Well, while we were in these studios, we could take
our mask off, Yes, as soon as we walk up
the door, we had to put it back on.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Right, But then they started figuring out that many people,
including me, were not wearing our masks at all. We
weren't getting on the elevators, we weren't. I I was
not going to the trouble putting on a mask and
taking off a mask, and I was kind of hoping
that I might get challenged on it. But they never did.
But they did start sending memos reminding us that is

(09:39):
the rule now, and you got.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
To call the right eye. Nobody specifically said hey, hey, hey, hey,
mask on, but I definitely got the side eye for
some of the higher ups.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
But nobody said anything till you did that.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, which is kind.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Of why I was trying to get challenged, because I
know that they knew that they really couldn't do it.
But you know, but nonetheless, but now we've think about
the arc we've gone from. You know, CoP's going to
arrest you if you are caught in a Walmart without
a mask to now they're going to put body cams

(10:14):
on employees in Walmart. And Fox and Friends is talking
about how we need to have a non mask mandate
that you cannot wear a mask when you walk into
a Walmart. That and if you're so afraid still of
COVID that you feel like you need to wear a
mask in public, then maybe you just shouldn't go out
in public.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Buy your crap online.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, just buy your crap online. Walmart will even deliver
it to you. I mean, Disney have be Amazon. Walmart
will deliver Hell's bells, My King Supers will deliver come
on you, Yeah, you can. You can get anybody to
deliver anything now. And that led me to start thinking
about how we have go back to the to the

(11:00):
Luis jamangiom and his killing of Brian Thompson. How did
they catch him? Because New York has imposed or put
in I forget to sit in the name of the system,
and it's not it's not like London where they're everywhere.
You know, if you watch uh, you know, art imitates life,

(11:22):
if you watch any of the London uh you know,
secret agent movies or crime movies or series or whatever.
You know that they have traffic cameras, video cameras, closed
circuit TV cameras, CCTVs everywhere, so you literally cannot walk
out of your flat and go to you know, Piccadilly

(11:42):
Square or whatever without you know, they can trace your
steps everywhere, They can go back and just trace everything.
And we're quickly becoming that also, and it struck me
that part of the region. Oh then they had one
of the hosts on Fox and Friends when they talked about,
you know, requiring people are preventing people from wearing masks,

(12:05):
and that we need more video coverage. Now, just don't
get into the details about public versus private, because that's
immaterial to my broader point. And the broader point is
think about how over time, you know, there was a

(12:25):
time in my life when part of the public debate,
the national debate, was whether or not we needed a
national ID. Now you think about we're all clamoring for
an ID to go vote. In essence, we're clamoring for

(12:45):
some form of national ID. Also because of illegal aliens
being able to just board it. You know, I'm going
to be boarding an airplane Sunday and I'm going to
have to you know, and of course I won't because
of Tammer, because it'll piss her off. But I'm tempted
to walk up to the TSA agent and when he
asked from my ID, just say I don't have one. Now,

(13:08):
according to the law, according to federal law, you're not
required to have an ID to board an airplane. That's
a violation of the Constitution. Now they'll make it painful
for you. And the airlines, well, they can require an
ID because they're not the government, and so the First
Amendment doesn't always apply to them. But now we're all like,

(13:32):
we all want IDs, want we want cameras everywhere because
now crime has become so rampant that once again we're
clamoring for a little bit of security and willing to
give up some freedom and some privacy in order to
get some security. Now I'm not necessarily sitting here telling

(13:52):
you that I'm opposed to that. I'm just making the
observation that how our how our expectations have changed, and
it's being driven by crime, whether the crime is illegal
aliens just kind of at large, or it's illegal aliens

(14:14):
like Trendo Ragua in Aurora. Well, by the way, I
found an interesting dragon that when they started arresting them,
the police chief comes out and says, I'm not going
to say that they are a part of the Venezuelan
gang until I have proof or link that they are,
because I don't want to And I forget what phrase

(14:34):
he used, but it was obvious that he did not
want to feed into the idea that Venezuelan gangs are
operating in in Aurora. Well, let me think the criminals
that they arrested are all Venezuelan. The people that they
tortured and pulled the fingernails out and stabbed and shot

(14:57):
and beat and everything else are all venezuel Can we
not just come to some reasonable conclusion that perhaps there
is a link between TDA and Venezuelan because we know
TDA is a Venezuelan gang, So can we not make
a link between at least a potential correlation, maybe just

(15:18):
a correlation, not causation, Maybe just a correlative link between
their Venezuelan and they're extorting Venezuelans. Perhaps they're part of
a Venezuelan gang.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
That's far too big of a leap, too, Is that
too big of a link.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
That's okay? Well, you know, I just haven't had enough
dight cochi yet this morning. So now let's go back
to the crime. Why is crime the precursor to all
of these things? And we're having a a which I
believe is a normal human reaction. Hey, crime is becoming round.

(15:55):
But remember we talked about porch pirates yesterday. I got
a lot of text messages about that.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
You remember something we talked about from yesterday.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Only because when I was thinking about types of crime,
porch pirates, and it being Christmas time, and well, I'm
not going to tell you, but maybe maybe Dragon has
some packages showing up. And Dragon's address at forty six
ninety five South Euclid Drive, Aurora, Colorado eight nine two
seventy five six is expecting several packages today and he

(16:27):
and missus Redbeard are both at work. So you know,
maybe you want to pick up some free Christmas gifts.
That's how I was able to remember it.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
There's a fan coming. I think some protein shakes, something
for my son.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Of course my gift, because give my gift yet, So
I assume my gift showing up today, right? You know,
if I get a gift from Dragon, I s probably shouldn't.
Probably shouldn't say this, because if I get a gift
from Dragon, I'll probably have a heart attack, and then
of course i'll make him. I'll be in the hospital

(17:01):
of dead. So I probably will get a gift now,
but I don't want one. I don't expect one.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
I'd give it to you after we come back because
I know we're going on vacation here shortly, so there's
no point in me giving you something to give you
a heart attack. Now, I'll wait till later, so then
I go.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Perfect cent, perfect cent. Now, stop and think about all
of the causes or reasons that we now have this
this tidal way of crime crossing all across the country.
And that's where I got into the deep thoughts, and
I would say, overall it is a Now we can

(17:37):
divide these up, and we can dissect each of these,
but I would say, first and foremost is just a
total collapse of morality. Now, I'm not talking about religion,
although you could say that the lack of religion is
one of the reasons for this collapse of morality, but
I think it's much broader than that. You could say

(18:00):
that this influx of illegal aliens that don't share our
values that don't share, that don't even know. I mean,
they come from a crabhole country. Think about you come
from a country that is controlled by gangs or cartels,
and so when you come into this country and the
cartels or TDA is you know, pulling fingernails out at

(18:22):
an apartment in Aurora. Okay, Well that's just situation normal
for them.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
It's not normal for all average today.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
It's just yeah, it's a day ending and why for them?
So you add all those together and suddenly we're all
just living in a crime ridden turning into a crabhole country. Michael,
this is Guber seven three one six of Louisville, Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Hey, I happen to be out in Colorado today and
I'm on Lukiland Avenue. And I tell you what man,
you gave Dragon and his wife and thatsed up plung
as somebody enjoys it. That's fine.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Uh. You know, when you're trying to make up just
a fake address, huh, ask me where Euclid came from?
No idea I did same here, no idea whatsoever. I just,
you know, rather than do one two three Main Street,
I was trying to just think of something. It might
sound kind of real, just to make people think I
may have actually given your real address out.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
No, you had to throw in the four six ninety five,
which is the address here.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Oh man, I didn't even think about that. How subliminal was.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
That Euclid must be? Is it a house you grew
up on or whatever, a previous address or something.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
The only thing I okay, Euclid is when you turn
into my son's subdivision. Euclid is kind of the feeder street.
To get into where his house you still have to
make a couple of turns. That's like the main feeder street.
So maybe that's where that came from. I don't know
what ZIP did I give.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
You made that up completely? It was eight one seven five.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
I just knew I needed an eight.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
It was bad? Yeah, was it bad?

Speaker 1 (20:07):
I'm sorry. I'm you know, I'm so sorry to disappoint
you so early.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
I mean, the auroras are in the eight hundred and
elevens thirteen's fifteen, so you could have done better that way.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
But yeah, you think I really care what an Aurora's
ZIP code is? Or do you think I truly give
eight rats petuit even a rats ass about what your
home address.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Is you cared enough to start it with an eight?
Which is there? That's good?

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah? Well, so if I want your home address, trust me,
I have ways of getting your home address.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
It just asked missus Redbard. You should be happy to
give it to you.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Certainly would, particularly if I said, listen, you really pissed
me off today.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
I want a couple visit.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
I listend a couple of goons over just to beat
the snob out of it, because I don't want to
get my hands. I don't want to do it myself.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
So I just want to make sure the scheduling is
right because hur goons coming over to kick my ass
versus erraguons. I don't want to get You know double what?
You don't want everybody to show up at the same time.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Right right, right, right right? How far apart do you
want them? How much recovery time do you want? Like
thirty minutes an hour? What do you want? So we're
talking about crime and how crime has really changed our culture. Yeah,

(21:32):
I've always had a habit of and again, I still
have a visceral reaction to and I do. I whenever
I walk into a building, I go to a mall,
I sit in a restaurant. It's just my perverted background

(21:54):
as the Undersecretary of Homeland Security. I always look for
the cameras. I always look for the exits. I always
sit with my back, I always know exactly how I'm
going to get out. I know all of that stuff,
and I'm with if I'm with family and friends, I'm
observing if if somebody bursts into this restaurant with guns ablazing,

(22:17):
how quickly can I reach my gun? How fast can
I shove tamera down under the table. And of course
most of the friends I'm with, they're concealed carrying also,
and how so I don't worry too much about them,
like one of my friends shoving his life under the table.
But then I'm also thinking, how do I get out
of here? How do I get them out of here?

(22:37):
And what's my line of fire going to look? Like?
I'm thinking about all of that stuff. Now do I
do it one hundred percent of the time? No, But
I am really attuned to situational awareness. So when I
see the cameras, I have this kind of contradictory reaction.

(23:00):
It's like, leave me alone, or I should have worn
a baseball cap, you know, I should have pulled a
cap down where you can't see my face or or
then I really you know, then I think, well, at
least this place of business is trying to keep their
employees and their customers secure, and it's private property, and

(23:21):
I understand that, and I really have no legal objection
to that. But then have you ever noticed when you're
driving or you're just walking down the sidewalk in a
shopping area or a and by shopping, I don't mean
a shopping mall, but you're walking along a sidewalk in

(23:42):
you why you would be shopping, for example, on the
sixteenth Street mall? Right now, I have no freaking clue
why you'd be doing that. Idiot, Get off there, go
somewhere else. But look and see all of the cameras
and think about how your privacy now there. I know
you have no privacy on the public street, but we've
gotten that extra step from you know, anybody could take

(24:05):
a picture of you on the street. You know, I've
seen people taking photographs and thought to myself, Uh, I
wonder what the people around them think as they're going
to get caught. You know, as a tourists is taking
a picture of something that you're gonna get caught in
that photograph. So everywhere we've kind of given up any

(24:26):
feelings about privacy, whether you have a visceral reaction to
it or you makes it makes you feel comfortable, we've
just kind of come to accept it. But none of
that has anything to do with how have we gotten
to the point where crime is such a bugaboo? I

(24:51):
and I know this, you know, old man bitching. I
get that, But I really grew up, went you know,
through college, law school, my work life, everything I would
say up until well, for me, for me, the tipping
point was probably nine to eleven. But before that it

(25:13):
was just kind of this normal traditional American American life.
But that normal traditional American life seems to be under
attack from every direction by horrors beyond our comprehension and
unintentionally stupid or maybe intentionally bad stupid ideas. They again
think about TDA and Aurora. Oh, I think, well, it's

(25:38):
over in Aurora. It hasn't come over into Highland trans yet.
But what's to keep that from happening? But there's also
a side of me that thinks the tide is turning
all of this, this these decades now of low level

(25:58):
largely digital warfare waged by isolated, fairly fringed dissident extremists,
you know, like online anonymous posters, the small groups of
outraged parents now, the based boomer grandparents still posting on Facebook,

(26:19):
the girls in sports that are tired of being humiliated. Finally,
I think there is across the country people just saying
enough is enough now. Reinforcements had to arrive to relieve
the cultural warriors in the online battles and going on

(26:44):
in the secret group chat chats. Nearly every single county
in this country moved, ever so slightly or to a
large degree, they all moved right. And I think the
election was the beginning of the end of what we've

(27:07):
been going through. I was walking the dogs yesterday and
so I put my airbuds in and I'm listening to
a podcast and they're talking about how it is a
political podcast, and they were talking about how Biden's turned
on Nancy Pelosi and how Nancy Pelosi and all the

(27:28):
geriatrics in Congress are still trying to keep like Alexandria
Cosi Cortez off the House Oversight Committey and did keep
her off the House Oversight Committee. And it shows that
there's still this these entrenched politicians look at this cee
our bill and think about what was in this spending bill,
this last minute spending bill, which we were told was

(27:51):
not going to happen again. In fact, Mike Johnson told
us We're not going to do it again. He's They
played a SoundBite of him talking to somebody, probably on
Fox News, about how those days were gone. Well here
we are in the right right back to him again.
So that's beginning to change. Because and I found it hilarious.

(28:16):
Democrats were so upset, so pissed off that Elon Musk
sent a tweet that said this spending bill is wrong
and if you vote for it, we're going to primary
you and you're going to lose in two years. Well,
he could have written that same tweet a year ago

(28:40):
and nobody would have paid any attention to it. But
they pay attention to it today because of Doge and
because of his relationship with Donald Trump. And then Ramaswami
comes out you'll hear from him later in the program.
He makes a comment about it, and then Trump comes
out and says, no, this bill's dead. I'm like, I
he's not even President. Donald Trump is not yet president,

(29:04):
and yet he is already influencing the budget process. Right,
I shouldn't even call it the budget process the spending process.
But before I go into the depths of some of
the details of the CR let's go back to some
of the change that I start to I think has
begun to occur because of the election. Now, one thing

(29:28):
I think has not changed, and that is that Wolkeness
is not dead. It just simply kind of got hipped.
It kind of got pushed aside a little bit, but
it's not dead at all. Remember yesterday we talked about
the fats are in San Francisco and how she's going
to be out talking about how we shouldn't be fat

(29:50):
shaming people. Well, I walked back into the house yesterday
camera had the five on that showed that's like five
people talking on Fox News and they and they were
talking about that very story, and they happened to use
part of the very same sound bites that I used.
They must listen to the program, and they were more
than willing. Even even the liberal in that group was

(30:14):
saying that, well, I don't think we should fat shame people,
but neither should we ignore the fact that fat people
have health problems, and that's costing all of us in
increased health care costs, insurance costs, pharmaceutical costs, everything, But
the wokeness because San Francisco points of fats are means

(30:35):
that wolkness is not dead and it could always rise
up again if we're not careful. So what we ought
to do is really be honest with ourselves about what
wokeness and what rhinos and what people have been doing
to us for decades now. Republicans in many ways have

(30:58):
not all Republicans, to get me wrong, but many Republicans
have become almost as progressive as progressive Democrats, and progressive
Democrats have unequivtally become Marxist. Oh, come on, we don't
need to know what was in the CR. It's dead,
leave it alone. Oh man, I don't think I've ever

(31:22):
had such a visceral reaction to a talk back as
I do that one. You absolutely do need to know
what was in there because you're not pissed off enough. Now.
I'm not trying to do you know, angry radio here,
but what was in that CR is proof positive. Member,

(31:48):
I keep telling you that they don't care about you,
and I'm going to generalize and say that's just all
of them. They care more about getting re elected than
they do about you. They don't care how much you're
struggling financially. They don't care what your health insurance costs,

(32:09):
they don't care what your drug costs are, they don't
care what your grocery costs are. Because that CR exacerbates
almost every single thing that is an economic or a
social societal problem in this country today. And there they

(32:31):
were knowingly trying to pass it in the dead to night,
trying to step it through. And but for this goes
back again to my whole theory about the election and
how the election we're gonna look back on this election. Now,
let me make clear that Trump is going to face

(32:53):
incredible headwinds. And as much as I find it weird
that you know, uh Musk is always around, he's always
photo bombing everything, nonetheless he is as Is Ramaswami. And
then when the cabinet finally gets confirmed by the Senate,

(33:15):
Trump is going to have something this time that he
didn't have last time. One, he has the knowledge of
how things really work inside DC. Two, he's going to
have people that he has carefully chosen to represent him
in that behemoth of all those cabinet departments and agencies.

(33:39):
And he's gonna have people like musk and Ramaswami who
are not part of at all the administration. They don't
have official titles or anything, but they've got a virtual
entity does and they have X and they're going to

(34:01):
use because must bought Twitter. We're going to have transparency
like we've never had before.
