7-8-25 - 8am - Superman and Antisemitism

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Back when Epstein was first prosecuted, the prosecutor Alex Acosta,
who gave him a sweetheart deal, said he was told
to back off because Epstein quote belonged to intelligence.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Now that's interesting to me.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
It's also interesting that there were some holdouts to the
Big Beautiful Bill and then they said that there was
no client list, and then that big beautiful Bill passed.
I wonder if it was used to sway some boats there.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hut, see, he can go on forever, and they were dragon.
We can just take text messages and thumb calls about nothing,
but just what's your conspiracy theory about the Epstein client list?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Just remember there are.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
There are secrets within the government. I know some of them.
And there's a there's some sort of dividing line. Several
of you on the text line have said, you know,
we're tired. I'm just paraphrasing. Why are we treated like children?

(01:06):
Why can't we see these things? And one example is
you know all the go pro video from the October
seven Hamas attacks. Well, I agree, I have a sick desire.
I mean I don't really want to see the murders
and the beheadings and stuff. And I don't want the

(01:27):
families of those victims to have to relive those atrocities.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
But I do.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Believe that Israel probably could have gotten a little gotten
a head of the story a little bit by releasing
more than they did. Doesn't have to be graphic, you know,
you know how in a movie, because this segment I

(01:56):
want to talk about a movie, how in a movie? Well,
this will date me, but it kind of fits in
with when I'm talking about the movie. Remember Alfred, remember
this psycho? You never saw him stabbing her, but you
knew it happened. You knew it happened. Well, I'm not

(02:20):
trying to compare a movie to the go pro video
from October seventh, but what I am saying is that
there is a way that you could release more of
that footage without making it so graphic that we're all
up chucking because it's so horribly graphic.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Just now.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
I do believe that there are a lot of things
that we are never shown, that we never see. Do
you think about, not that this is related, but think
about how many times we hear on television that, well,
you know, there was an acrogen on the twenty five today,
and well, we wanted to show. It was a twelve

(03:01):
car pile up. And while the footage is graphic and
may make some of you uncomfortable, you may want.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
To, you know, turn away.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
What are they really saying, Hey, we got some really,
really sick old footage here we want you to see,
so be sure and watch it. That's all they're trying
to do. They're not trying to warn you. They're trying
to entice you.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
Oh it drives me nuts. Anyway.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, I could go on, but I'm I'm sick of it,
sick of it. One of the things about one of
the great things about being a boomer, besides finally getting
old and that it's okay not to care about much
of anything anymore. Been there done that? Oh yeah, I've
seen that, is that we were the right exact age

(03:48):
to appreciate some of the greatest political and pop culture
of the twentieth century. I when I started thinking about that,
I think through and this shows a lot of sick mind.
I have the watch Riots, the Rodney King riots, Watergate,

(04:12):
the all the impeachment trials, Monica Lewinsky. But then some
of the great movies too, And I'm not even going
to go down some of those but you know, when
I think of people often ask me or some of
you will call in and use a line. Yesterday, we

(04:33):
had someone that was referring to a Michael Douglas movie
and I have to go look up and see what
it was. But I didn't get the reference because I
tend to go to movies for entertainment. I want to
turn my brain off, set my fat ass in a
comfortable reclining chair, preferably in front of an IMAX screen,

(04:55):
have the Dolby surround sound, eat a bunch of overpriced popcorn,
drinking over priced diet co course sometimes maybe have a
little adult beverage, depending on the theater, and sit back and
just okay, brains off, entertain me. That's what I want.
So I often don't remember much about movies that I

(05:15):
go see. Some exceptions are you know Shindler's List. There
are scenes in Schindler's List that I can't get out
of my head. Well, I could probably go on and
list movies and you know what do we see? We
saw the Have you seen a New Mission Impossible movie?

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yet?

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Von No?

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Are you going to see it?

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Probably eventually?

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Yeah? I have to. It was it was entertaining.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
It was.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Predictable because post mission impossible, this mission impossible, something crazy
happens and they win. Yes, right, And there's always there's
there's always a conspira. Speaking of Epstein, there's always a
conspiracy going on where the good guys really turn out
to be the bad guys, and they're always what they're

(06:08):
always part of the government. So it's the outsider fighting
the insider, and the outsider always wins. So it's total
fiction because that's not the way that's the way it
works in real life. I'd be curious, like, in terms
of pop culture, I don't care whether you're a gen
xer or a baby.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Boomer or a millennial.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
What are some of the great greatest pop culture of
the twentieth century. Some of you might say Star Wars
or Indiana Jones or a terminator, a RoboCop. I just
think there's a whole bunch of stuff. Well, we were boomers,
and I guess some of you gen xers and millennials
you were there for a lot of that. And I

(06:50):
think too, we were the perfect age to enjoy it
for what it was. We had not become jaded yet.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
But of course there's.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Another side to that. Coin We've also watched helplessly as
so many of those great movies were turned into franchises,
speaking of Mission Impossible or Top Gun, and each successive
round of sequels and reboots has been worse than the last,

(07:19):
or if they've not been worse than the last, they've
been predictably the same as the last. Just the same
franchise actors, the same franchise movies, basically the same storyline
as Dragon puts it.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
You know, bad things happen, good guys win.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
The thing that's different is the special effects are better
these days. Cgi IS is really amazing, but the characters aren't.
There's a and there a new I'm sorry I disrupt
to interrupt you. I know you're asleep this morning. Isn't
there another Jurassic Media?

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Sure is?

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Have you seen it already?

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I want to because it's dinosaurs and dinosaurs cool?

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Right?

Speaker 2 (08:08):
But no they no, No, I'm done. They made six
of them. I'm I'm good. I don't I don't really
need to see another Dinosaurs get loose. They need to
go get the DNA from this dinosaur to make new dinosaurs. No,
I don't care. And then there's some kind of mutant dinosaur.
That they created.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Oh we'll see there now there was there's a little
tiny hook.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
You can do that, but create a whole new story
about making don't don't do you know they haven't done that.
Don't call it Jurassic Park though, call it something new.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
How do you know they haven't done that until you
go to PLoP down your seventy five dollars for two
tickets and some drinks to go see it. You know,
Missus Red Beer's gonna want to see it. She does,
she does, doesn't she She did? By the way, yesterday
I got behind the car. It was an out of
state plate.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Uh huh.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
But it was a personalized plate. Okay, Otherwise I would
have thought, I'm gonnaf that's.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Her, miss Beard m SB E A r D. I
started to pull around, but then it was like, eh,
it was a escalade and black tended windows, and I thought, nah,
it's not missus Redbeard. Well, i'd still see her driving

(09:20):
a black tended escalate. This doesn't fit her personality. But
I thought about her for a moment, so yeah, you'll
you'll end up going. I grew hunt guy. I to
admit this, but I grew up remembering the television series Superman. Yes,

(09:45):
and I've seen the Superman movies, so I've kind of
been watching the approach of James Gunn's Superman reboot. I
was originally watching it with some optimism, kind of like
the bat You know, if there was another Batman movie,
I have to admit I'd probably go see it because

(10:07):
maybe they you know, maybe there's a character maybe when
when the evil characters they haven't used yet. But you
gotta admit, the Joker was really good. It was really good.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
So what having grown up watching the television series with
I can't remember the guy's name. It was the actor.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
It's a different Reeve. It's not Christopher Reeves.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yeah, I think Christopher Reeves was the original movie Superman.
He's uh, you know, Superman shows that he can handle
misfits like you know, the Guardians of the Galaxy and
the Suicide Squad, but the Man of Tomorrow himself the
paragon of truth justice in the American way.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Well, you think James Gunn is up to that. Well.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
I like some of what they've shown us so far,
crypto Guy Gardner, Superman's old school swagger, but some of
the other stuff not so much. The costume Clark has
permed hair having that many other superheroes in a solo outing.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
So the premiere's coming up, and this is Gunn's last
chance to sell me on this new movie. Why should
I go see this in a theater when I haven't
enjoyed a movie with Superman in it since maybe Zod's
dreams were crushed along with his hand. This is from
Gun's interview with Jonathan Dean of the Times of the
United Kingdom. I mean, this is the director talking about

(11:40):
his movie. I mean, Superman is the story of America,
an immigrant that came from other places and populated the country.
But for me, it is mostly a story that says
basic human kindness is of value and is something we
have lost. Yes, it plays differently in blue cities than

(12:02):
in red states, but it's about human kindness, and obviously
there will be jerks out there who are just not
kind and will take it as offensive just because it
is about kindness.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
I think he just convinced me not to go see
the movie.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
I think he just convinced me that, oh, you're going
to be this politically woke, be kind or screw you.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
Seems that kind of a bit combative. Doesn't it.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
And of course, if you are a fan of Superman,
you should also be a fan of the massive flood
of the illegal aliens that Biden let into the country.
They're just immigrants, right, They're just migrants, just migrants. Sure,
And if cal Hell really existed, all those people could
go live in this fortress of solitude.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
But he doesn't, so they can't. You know, we still
have laws.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Even if the guy, even if the guy writing the
latest iteration of Superman doesn't like them, but let's hear
him out. He Gun adds this. I couldn't find audio
of this. This Superman does seem to come at a
particular time when people are feeling a loss of hope
in other people's goodness. I'm telling a story about a

(13:14):
guy who's uniquely good, and that feels needed now because
there is a meanness that has emerged due to cultural
figures being mean online. Okay, cultural figures. I wonder what
he means, Oh, he means trump Gun got fired from
Marvel because a few Trump fans dug up some of

(13:36):
his old tweets, and now he's getting his revenge. Yes,
he's trying to get people into theaters by calling them
meanis I'm just trying to make you better human beings.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
You jerked. The thing I've always liked about Superman is
all the scolding.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
I think back. I think back to both the TV
series and the original Superman. I don't remember being scolded,
but now I'm being scolded.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
I'm going to go.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
I'm gonna pay to go watch a guy who's scolding us.
If America is as far gone as this director says, well,
anything changes because of a movie about a guy in
blue tights flying around punching out dudes. How ab they
giving us a good exciting story. You know that we

(14:20):
can't see anywhere else. Why beate us for disappointing you,
mister director. Almost fifty years ago, the tagline was, you'll
believe that a man can fly? Now all we believe.
Now we all believe it. The trick now is he
wants to make us care. Well, guess what I don't

(14:44):
this uh Superman and lois You? That was canceled after
fifty three episodes and had good ratings. I think they
canceled it so it wouldn't dilute the impact of mister Gunn's.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
New Superman movie, which kind of seems dumb to me.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Audience know all about superhero multiverses now, but that's why
those stupid Hollywood geniuses make the big bucks. They know
what they were doing when they spent ninety million dollars
on a Batgirl movie and.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
Just didn't what they didn't release it.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
That's too bad because that Superman Lewis was actually kind
of a fun show. Tyler Hoschlan was a good Superman
and even better Clark Kent.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
In my opinion, I'm actually pretty disappointed in the Backgirl
movies never going to be released because it has crap.
Michael Keaton as Batman.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
That's right. That's as well as that.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Fraser recent user winning Brendan Fraser in the movie I
forgot about.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
It, actually spaced that out. I haven't seen I love
Michael Keaton, haven't seen him in ages.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Good Free is the true talking about like Sanna's naughty List?
Is that who I think it was?

Speaker 2 (16:01):
It is who you think it was?

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Dad? Shame on you?

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, she better not be listening to the.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
Whole shame shame, shame, shame on you. Good grief. I
think that might be worthy of a court martial.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
I mean, it is a naughty list but well, it is.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
A naughty list. But sweetheart, listen, Uncle Mike would never
ever do anything too Chi. I need to come up
there and rescue you and your mother. Good grief, what
a pathetic situation. What time is it in Alaska? Don't
have time to get there today? I got time to

(16:42):
get up there. I'm moving on. But during the break,
I pulled up the Drug Report just because I you know,
I'm tempted. One day someday I may do this. Today
would actually be a good day to do it. Pull
up the Drudge Report. I don't want to read this.
I want to go through the headlines and point out

(17:04):
the obvious implications of what Drudge. Well, I shouldn't say
Drudge because Matt doesn't own it anymore, but what the
Drudge Report is trying to get you to think. It
is such a decidedly leftist rag now that it's amazing,
But as I was looking through it, there's a story

(17:26):
brutal first Superman review, and I just glanced at it
and it is pretty brutal. Uh, Superman might just be
a woos just Superman, which seems pretty fitting for modern America.
Doesn't it that the Superman that we all loved and adored.
Whether it was George Reeves or Christopher Reeves is now

(17:48):
just well, just just a woos. Yes, there was a
meeting yesterday, meeting maybe going on again today too. I'm
just not quite quite sure. But the meeting was with
Cheetah I hate, I hate to a minute, Benjamin Thatt

(18:08):
and Yahoo. Yeah, that evil Jewish guy. Yes, yes, yes,
which leads me to this. We talked to Earth we
just mentioned casually earlier October seventh. We know, ever since
Hamas murdered more than a thousand Jews in just that
one single day, the Democrat Party Democrats in general refused

(18:28):
to see any form of anti Semitism unless it's wearing
a Maga hat or a Maga T shirt or you're
a white, straight Republican. They just block it out unless
they think somehow they can use the anti Semitism for
their own political game. Karen Diamond, one of the Jews
in Boulder who marched for Hamas to release their hostages,

(18:51):
as you know, finally succumbed to her injuries after that
Muslim psychopath.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
In Illegal Alien by the way, threw fire at.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
I have a third degree of separation from Ms Diamond
her husband is my son's former dean at the medical school.
But try asking a liberal about Karen and you'll just
get a blank stare because they've never heard of her.

(19:23):
That infamous alt right rally in Charlottesville. You know, the
idiots with tiki torches chanting Jews will not replace this.
That was in August of twenty seventeen. That's almost eight
years ago. Yet the Democrats can't shut up about that. Meanwhile,
elsewhere in Virginia, children at a prestigious DC area private

(19:46):
school are being taught are being taught to harassed Jews
and admire Hitler. That's a pregnant pause for that for you,
for the I went to had to sink in. Now,
if our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters on the left
stay true to form, they'll turn a blind eye to

(20:08):
that too.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Adam Creedle with the Washington Free Beacon.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Reports their prestigious Nicemith School in northern Virginia received a
civil rights complaint for allegedly expelling three Jewish students who
faced anti Semitic harassment and whom the school's headmaster told
to toughen up. Just toughen up after they reported the conduct.

(20:39):
Just take it out of the antisemitic sector for just
a moment. Your child gets bullied at school, and it's
a private school. You're paying a boatload, a fesis load
of money to a private school, and your two boys
get bullied. So they go to the headmaster and say, hey,

(21:01):
you know, dragon's bullying us. And the prince of the
Headmaster's response is you just need a tough enough.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
I don't think you'd stand for it, but this is
animitic bully. The Freebeacon goes on to report the Nicemith
School Notice, one of the top ten institutions in the
country for students between kindergarten and eighth grade, allegedly expelled
Brian Vasquez and aishach Roy's three Jewish children in March

(21:31):
after the parents complained about its quote unwillingness to respond
to anti Semitic harassment of their eleven year old daughter.
The school quote allowed anti Semitism to take root in
her class over the course of several months, including with
a social studies project that saw students promote Adolf Hitler

(21:55):
as a strong historical leader. That project quote was shared
with the entire school community and contributed to a pattern
of persistent and severe anti Semitic harassment, according to the complaint. Seriously,
if you look the you can find a photograph on

(22:18):
the Free Beacon of a drawing of Hitler has a
nice red tie on blue shirt. It's got some sort
of green you know, uh man person holding a sword,
and all sorts of things written about it. You want
to go to read the whole thing. American school children
are being taught to admire Hitler and harassed Jews, and

(22:41):
those parents are paying forty thousand dollars a year to
do it. October seventh opened the floodgates on this antisemitic hatred,
and now it's mainstream on the left. Let me say
that again. I believe that anti Semitic behavior, anti Semitic
anti semitism writ large, has become mainstream among Democrats and

(23:06):
among the left. I've never seen any of those Charlottesville
guys on Fox News, but you can turn on CNN
or MSNBC almost at any time of the day or
night and you can hear somebody somehow to faming Jews. Now,
at this point, America might actually be more anti Semitic
than Europe.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
And that's saving out all of the lot. Bob Villain not.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Dylan Villain is being dropped from festivals in England, Germany
and France for chanting death death to the IDF. Well,
that's not gonna end well. And I have no time
for anybody that's trying to deny it because they want
to win elections. So think about Mondalmie in New York.

(23:52):
Best of luck in New York. You've got it right
in front of you. Which path are you going to take?
You're at the proverbial fork in the road. So as
Joe Gibarra says, are you going to take it? My
guess is you probably will. In a related story, a
Manhattan woman who was ripping down Israeli hostage posters right

(24:13):
after ten seven just got arrested for pepper spraying to
cops and trying to take one of their guns. I
wonder how soon before she gets a show on MSNBC,
or at least be called to talk about, Oh yes,
the cops treated me horribly.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
The other day, and.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
Algorithm told me to watch a whoops hang on told
me to watch a music video, and I'm glad I did.
I've watched the video at least thirty times. It's a
great song. John Ciley is a terrific actor, and he
puts his own spin on it. It's Jack White. Archbishop

(24:56):
Harold Holmes is the official video. If he didn't know
Jack White had new music out, well join the club,
because I didn't either. The last thing I heard from
him was that odd kind of disco metal song you
put out several years ago, you know, when he had
that crazy blue plumdor hairdoo.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
I thought the song was yeah, yeah, okay, but it
certainly didn't knock my socks off. The new stuff though.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
This is the Jack White that I miss, And it
turns out that the album containing this song has been
out for almost a year.

Speaker 4 (25:29):
I didn't know it.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
It's called No Name, and White put it out on
his own record label, Third Man Records, in July of
last year. White released it in an amazingly cool way.
Every customer who bought anything at one of his record shops,
also called third Man Records, got a free vinyl copy.
It was just a blank white disc with no name

(25:50):
stamped on it, not even the store clerks. The store
clerks knew what was on it. Once all those hipsters
dropped a needle on it and realized they were to
a brand new Jack White record, they started figuring out online.
White encouraged them to rip the audio and share it
with anybody they wanted, because he just does not DGAF

(26:13):
doesn't give it, you know what. A few weeks later
he did now a now traditional digital release, but that
initial role, that was a master stroke anti marketing, truly
rock and roll meeting rock and roll. But this is
also why clueless old farts like me didn't know about
the album. Fully released the music video a year later,

(26:35):
it hadn't even cracked the top one hundred albums on
the Billboard chart. But he's a multi millionaire. He doesn't
need the money anymore, right, So Jack White did what
he wanted with his own music in a way that
nobody else could or would, and that's what he's all about,
and I respect that kind of spirit. Even if the
results sucked, which it obviously did not. You got to

(26:55):
go listen to it on Spotify or Apple Music. I'm
thinking about actually getting the vible anyway, back to the
anti semitism. Just wanted to point out that all these
things are all happening at the same time, and Jack
White probably got more coverage than the ninth Smith School

(27:17):
did in Northern Virginia actually celebrating Hitler and anti Semitism.
It's a strange world that we live in.

Speaker 5 (27:26):
It's a bird eats a plane. Ai karamba. It's super Mexican.
It's an a baby, it's a hijacked plane. Allahu Akbar.
It's super Mohammed.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
I follow a friend on actually goes by super Mexican speer,
super Mexican. He's pretty good. You got to follow him.
I remember the date, December twenty second, two thousand and one.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
Oh, do I remember it.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
Richard Ree, who was a British national. He was a Briton.
He had been radicalized by Islamist ideology. Boarded a plane
in Paris bound from Miami Americans American Airlines Flight sixty three.
He had explosives petn buried in the heel of a

(28:22):
pair of sneakers.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
He was going to detonate it.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
He had a detonator that came up through the shoe
and then out through the tongue, and there was a
fuse protruding from the near the tongue. So he tried
to light it. Tried to light it several times, wouldn't work.
The threat, well, it was a real threat. Don't get

(28:47):
me wrong, was a real threat, but the threat was
overcome by the passengers and the crew. They saw what
was going on, just like with the underwear bomber. They
saw what was going on, and so they, you know,
they tackle him. No, no, we don't know what you're doing,
but you're crazy. We don't know what We don't know
what you're doing, but you're crazy. Well, once the plane

(29:09):
landed and they discovered that, you know, there is the
the shoe bomber became a reason for the newly found
tsa transportation security agency to now start making everybody take
their shoes off. Yesterday that policy was compute.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
It's gone.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
It was blown up.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
It was blown up.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
It was they finally detonated the stupidity of the take
your shoes off policy. Now, why do I say it
was stupid because at the time, when, when, when we
had barely been alive in terms of homeland security at
the time, and we were discussing the policy about taking
shoes off, and my argument was, well, wait a minute,

(30:00):
it didn't work. It may have been a threat, but
anybody who lights a match on a plane is going
to be tackled by people who don't know what's going
on and it's not going to happen. And then I
made the mistake of saying this, even if it blew up,
do we have any evidence, Do we have any modeling

(30:22):
that shows us what kind of damage you would it?
Would it bring down the plane? No, it might hurt
people around it. It might it might blow a hole
