Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Standing Ground with Jeremy Lady.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I used to think the Democrats were crazy for saying
that men have periods, but then I met Tim walltz Well.
I'd better wrap up because Mayor Adams told me earlier
that I needed to make this one very quick, especially
the city has reserved this room for a large group
of illegal aliens coming in from Texas. There's a group
(00:29):
called white Dudes for Harris. Have you seen this white
dude for Harris? If anybody know some of you hear
white dudes. It doesn't sound like it. But I'm not
worried about them at all because their wives and their
wives lovers are all voting for me. Made your issue
of this racist childcare, and Kamala has put forward a
(00:51):
concept of a plan. A lot of people don't like it.
The only piece of advice I would have for her
and the event that she wins, would be not to
let her husband, Doug anywhere near the nannies. That's a
nasty one. Chuck Schumer is here.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Looking very glum.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Looks dumb.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Me, it looks lovely. But look on the bright shot, Chuck,
considering how woke your party has become. If Kamala loses
used to have a chance to become the first woman president.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Chuky, Chunky's chuky what you said me?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
This is I've got to see. Standing Ground is a
production of lahy media.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
I've taken the liberty of anticipating your condition and I
brought you orange juice, coffee and espritance or do you
need to throw up?
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Hours before the US launched these surprise attacks on the
Houthy militant group in Yemen, the Atlantics editor in chief
Jeffrey Goldberg had all the details right in front of him.
Speaker 7 (02:38):
And I'm sitting in a Safeway parking lot watching my
phone and realizing, oh my god, this might be real.
Speaker 8 (02:45):
I think.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
Pete Hegseth just sent this group actual targeting information, actual
sequencing of an attack.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
He'd been mistakenly invited to an encrypted group chat by
Donald Trump's own national security advice Mike Waltz. It was
their defense secretary. Pete Hegseth posted the wool plans.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
Why would they do it on signal? Why would they
do this on a messaging app? And why would they
invite the editor in chieva The Atlantic to watch? And
it's a level of recklessness that I have not seen
in many years of reporting our national security issues.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Shall we ray.
Speaker 9 (03:24):
How about global thermal nuclear war?
Speaker 10 (03:31):
Working to you per a game chefs later, let's play
global thermal nuclear or fir.
Speaker 11 (04:00):
Well.
Speaker 12 (04:10):
Okay, right off the bat, I have to say, because
I want to establish this right in the billboard in
the beginning of today's program, and that is this. Those
individuals Pete hegseth at All and others should not have
been using the signal app to be discussing things like
(04:33):
they were discussing. Now it's become a war of words
because the White House is saying it was not classified
information and the press is saying that it was, So
it becomes sort of a back and forth. But notwithstanding,
it was what I would definitely call sensitive information. Two,
(04:55):
the reporter from the Atlantic got into the thread by accident.
Speaker 13 (05:02):
It was not intentional.
Speaker 12 (05:05):
It wouldn't be like the same thing as someone intentionally
putting an unsecured server without a government firewall on their property.
There's no malice involved, right, mensrea. The doer of the
act shall not be guilty of the act unless the
mind be shown to be guilty. Accidents, generally speaking, are
(05:30):
not illegal. They're accidents. The ones that really the ones
that really made this a problem, if you want to
make it a national security issue, is The Atlantic. They
published it, they put it on the internet. It went
to all corners of the earth. The White House didn't.
(05:51):
The Atlantic did. And they're calling they're calling the White
House reckless. Who's being reckless? You'd think the reporter would say, Hey,
wait a minute, I'm not supposed to be on this thread.
I'm calling the NSA guys. I don't know how to
tell you this, but I'm not supposed to see any
of the shit. Oh no, put it out there. But
(06:13):
it's a terrible thing that it's out there.
Speaker 13 (06:15):
All right.
Speaker 12 (06:16):
I think you know where I'm going. I'm german Ly.
This is Standing Ground, this is Mojo Fible Radio. It
is Wednesday, April second. Let's get this show on the road.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Why would they do this on a messaging app and
why would they invite the editor in Chieva the Atlantic
to watch? And it's a level of recklessness that I
have not seen in many years of reporting our national
security issues.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
You're listening to Standing Ground with Jeremy Lahy.
Speaker 14 (07:29):
How did you learn that a journalists was privy to
the targets, the types of weapons used.
Speaker 13 (07:34):
I've heard I was characterized. Nobody was texting war plans.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Donald Trump told reporters he was unaware of the incident.
Speaker 15 (07:44):
I know nothing about it. You're saying that they had what.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
This is an extraordinary national security breach. Not only were
military plans shared with a journalist, but it was done
outside the usual secure government channels. It raises serious questions
about how this administered stration handles classified information and the
security protocols.
Speaker 16 (08:04):
It follows.
Speaker 17 (08:05):
This whole Trump administration is filled with lackeys and incompetent cronies.
Think about that, you've put these people in charge.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
The White House has told the ABC the group chat
appears to be authentic, an accidental invite that could have
career ending ramifications.
Speaker 12 (08:34):
Okay, welcome to the program. I am Germanly. This is
Mojo Fiber Radio. My email standing ground seventeen seventy six
at gmail dot com standing around one seven seven six
at gmail dot com.
Speaker 13 (08:44):
Follow me on.
Speaker 12 (08:44):
Twitter at leahy l e a h y jeremy j
e r e m Y. That is at le e
l e a h y jeremy j e r e
m Y. Make sure you hit notifications. Okay, so is
this a constitutional crisis as the as the media loves
to put out there nowadays, everything's a constitutional crisis. No,
(09:06):
it's not. It was a bad thing. I have to
confess because I have to give proper attribution. I was
speaking to one of my producers about a week ago,
Reagan Ronald, and Reagan Ronald made a fair point where
he said it was probably better if the administration just
(09:28):
didn't say anything and said, I'm sorry, it was a mistake,
but it's under review. We're not commenting on it. That's it.
It's it's a fair point to make. I don't know
if I believe I agree with him in totem because
that might cause more suspicion. But at the same time,
his point was, and if he's listening, he can call
(09:48):
and correct me. He's got my private number. Is that
once you start talking about it, you give it legs.
And that's a very that's a fair point. But it
is a bit of a catch twenty two because if
they don't answer, then they think they've got something to hide.
So it's kind of a it's a two way street
if you will, well it kind the whole thing kind
(10:09):
kind of reminded me a little bit. We played the
opening there from the movie War Games with Matthew Broderick
and Ally Sheety, and you know, the whole classified information
thing now more obtusely has been more under the microscope
really since the Hillary Clinton thing.
Speaker 13 (10:30):
Well, the the.
Speaker 12 (10:33):
Idea is, and I said before in the beginning, is
that you have to show malice Hillary Clinton, of all people.
She weighed in on this and called it irresponsible and
hypocritical about d da da da da da. What they
did or they've been accused of doing, you know, what
they did, actually what they did is so.
Speaker 13 (10:57):
It's so far different than what she did.
Speaker 12 (11:01):
What she did is what she did something where she
knew could put national security at risk when the State
Department told her not to do it. So I think,
quite frankly, I think this story is pretty much already
(11:22):
dead in the water, you know, career ending ramifications. I
don't think so. But it did kind of remind me of,
you know, if I ever came across anything like that.
Speaking of the movie War Games, you guys knows, you
guys know the actor Eddie Deason.
Speaker 13 (11:39):
He always plays a geek.
Speaker 12 (11:41):
Do you remember the scene when when Matthew Broderick brings
him the information he's found, the classified information, or he
thinks it's he thinks it's a gaming company, but it
turns out to be something not a gaming company. It's
like the government, it's NORAD, it's everything. I the love
the way this guy played the part.
Speaker 13 (11:56):
Listen to this.
Speaker 9 (11:57):
This didn't come from pro division.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
You bet that's where it did come from. Jim, go
ahead ask him.
Speaker 18 (12:01):
I told you already looks military to me. Definitely military,
probably classify too. Yeah, but if it's military, what is
games like checkers and backgam You're.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Not suppoted to the CIENA that stuff.
Speaker 18 (12:12):
That system probably get paints the nude data encryption algorithm.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You'll never get in there.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I don't believe that any system is totally secure. I
bet you, Jim could get in.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah, I bet you could. I bet you you could.
Speaker 11 (12:22):
Well, you'll never get in through the frontline securities, but
you might look for a backdoor.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I can't believe it, Jim. That girl standing over there
listening and you're tone over our back doors head just
a potita head. Back Doors are not secrets. Yeah, but
jimmy're giving away all our best tricks.
Speaker 12 (12:38):
It's it's it's almost like if Eddie Deson, that actor
got into the signal chat.
Speaker 13 (12:44):
You know, this is what he would say.
Speaker 18 (12:46):
Looks military to me, definitely military. Probably classify too. You're
not suppoted to the CENA that stuff. That system probably
get paints the nude data encryption algorithm.
Speaker 12 (12:55):
Unless I'm missing something. As of today, we still don't
know how this reporter got in the thread, So they're
kind of pinning it somewhat on Mike Walls, the National
Security Advisor to the President, when in fact he may
(13:16):
had nothing to do with it. Now, as a sidebar,
and I said this at the top, I don't think
they should be using the signal app. The signal app
is available to you and I. Anyone can get the
signal ap right, and there's no such thing as a
system that can't be broken into. That's well, it can
(13:36):
make it extremely difficult. But I remember once, I don't
know if these still are they they have them or
they don't have them.
Speaker 13 (13:44):
Do you remember the Congressman Stephen Lynch.
Speaker 12 (13:47):
Stephen Lynch was in Boston at an event and I
was talking to him and he showed me his government phone. Now,
he just he kind of showed it was all the
screen was locked and everything like that. But he had
he showed me this device that he had that is
a it's a secure network among a certain group of people,
and no one else can get in if they try to,
(14:09):
it's just it becomes encrypted. They can't see anything. And
my understanding was that all government officials are in the
executive branch, in the legislative. I think Stephen Lynch was
on armed services. People at high level positions have phones
that they can carry that are that are very safe
to use to communicate back and forth with people.
Speaker 13 (14:34):
So the technology exists.
Speaker 12 (14:36):
That's what That's what bothers me about it that they
would they would choose to do this over over signal.
But once again, the media is just making it out
to be something that it's really not. Okay, here's Donald
Trump being asked about it.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Saified.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Do you think that Mike Wweltz made in the state
and doesn't needs to apologize.
Speaker 15 (14:55):
No, I don't think he should apologize. I think he's
doing his best. It's equipment and technology that's not perfect,
and probably he won't be using it again, at least
not in the very near future.
Speaker 12 (15:09):
What do you do, that's sir, I agree with you,
let's get everybody in the room whenever possible.
Speaker 15 (15:15):
A lot of times you find out defects by exactly
things like that. But I don't think it's something we're
looking forward to using. Again, we may be forced to
use it. You may be in a situation where you
need speed as opposed to gross safety, and you may
be forced to use it, But generally speaking, I think
we probably won't be using it very much.
Speaker 12 (15:37):
I mean, the media would do anything they could depin
it on Trump himself personally do it. But other than
exception of a few people in that room, through the
entire Hillary debacle, which was a serious breach of national security,
(16:01):
they all just went over it. A lot of them
did and just said, you know, it really wasn't a
big deal, and they defended her, when in fact, when
James Komi came out, he said, no, this was the
serious problem. So once again not saying that it's okay,
but it's not the same thing as others. The other
(16:22):
point too, about classified information when it comes to the left, well,
I'm saying classified information, the White House is saying once again,
this was not But anyway, when it comes to sensitive
or classified information, the left has always had this thing
about what our right to know?
Speaker 13 (16:42):
We have a right to know everything? Well, no, we don't.
Speaker 12 (16:47):
In the nineteen seventies, when Daniel Ellsberg stole classified information
from the Pentagon and gave it to the press, the
left cheer led for him. Edward Snowden released classified information, gave.
Speaker 13 (17:07):
It to the media, and he is a hero.
Speaker 12 (17:15):
Yet yet for some while we know the reason. But
you know what I mean, it's obvious that when it
happens to the other side, the media and the left
in general, they take a completely different tag. This is
very dangerous, that information should not.
Speaker 13 (17:34):
Be available to the press. Please, And they say.
Speaker 12 (17:38):
Well, Edward Snowden, Edward Snowden gave out plans that the
government was using to spy on Americans, and da da
da da. Okay, fine, fair enough. I mean they are
different things, I'll give you that. But classified is classified.
Whether it's whether it is a military strike or it's
(17:58):
a picture of a tomato floating floating in a bucket
of milk, it's classified, all right. Here is here's Telsey
Gabbard testifying in front of Congress regarding the matter.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
Director Gabbett, were.
Speaker 19 (18:13):
You overseas during any parts of these discussions. Yes, Senator,
I was were you using your private phone or a
public phone for the signal discussions?
Speaker 20 (18:26):
I won't speak to this because it's under review by
the National Security Council. Once that review is complete, I'm
sure we'll share the results with the committee.
Speaker 19 (18:35):
What is under review, It's a very simple question. Your
private phone or are officially issued phone? What could be
under review?
Speaker 20 (18:43):
National Security Council is reviewing all aspects of how this
came to be, how the journalist was inadvertently added to
the group chat, and what occurred within that chat across
the board.
Speaker 12 (18:57):
Okay, there you have it. Now we're going to move
on in the next break. I mean I only do
real two breaks. Anyway, I'm gonna crime a few things in.
But I wanted to get on and jump on and
talk about this. But as of today, the story itself
is beginning to fade. However, when I went through the
wires this morning, they're saying that Mike Walls may have
(19:19):
used his Gmail account to send his travel plan.
Speaker 13 (19:23):
Here we go again.
Speaker 12 (19:25):
So when it comes to I guess, compromising safety and
national security, there is plenty plenty of blame to go around.
I can assure you, uh both well, Joe Biden had
classified information, Donald Trump had classified information, Mike Pence had it,
Hillary Clinton had it. So who's who's gonna Who's going
(19:49):
to establish the rule book for who gets in trouble
and who doesn't? I don't know, all right, I'm germanly.
This is standing Ground. This is Mojo fiber radio quick
breakway back.
Speaker 18 (19:58):
Military to me, definitely military, probably classified too.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Yeah, but if it's military, what is it? Games like
checkers and back. Then you're not supposed to see any
of that stuff.
Speaker 18 (20:06):
That system probably contains a nude data encryption algorithm.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
You'll never get in there.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You're listening to Standing Ground with Jeremy.
Speaker 5 (21:03):

Speaker 1 (22:00):
You're listening to standing ground with Jeremy. Lady.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
My orders came through my squadron ships out tomorrow. We're
bombing the storage depots at Decorate at eighteen hundred hours.
We're coming in from the north below their radar. I
can't tell you that it's classified.
Speaker 14 (22:47):
Ready, Trump, let's walk, let's talk. First of all, you
can't make Canada the fifty first state without going to
war with them. And let me explain how that happened,
how that worked out. The last time we tried to
go to war with Canada, they burned the White House
to the ground in eighteenth fourteen.
Speaker 13 (23:06):
Brand won the war. So Canada beat us in the
war eighteen twelve.
Speaker 21 (23:13):
They probably liked their chances against us.
Speaker 14 (23:16):
We're not gonna beat them in a war because we
have never been able to react.
Speaker 21 (23:21):
You'd have to occupy a country that is equivalent of
the size of the United States, in which the top
two thirds of it is uninhabited.
Speaker 14 (23:33):
Frozen forest land that touches the Arctic. You know how
that worked out when the Nazis tried that with Russia,
which is the equivalent of Canada on that part of
the world.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
We gonna lose.
Speaker 12 (23:50):
Okay, there's Joy Reid, Joy Reid, formerly of MSNBC.
Speaker 13 (23:56):
How she lasted at MSNBC for so long.
Speaker 12 (23:59):
I don't know. That woman is clinically stupid. She thinks
Canada burned the White House down in eighteen twelve. Canada
was not a nation till eighteen sixty seven. And well,
we we had we had, uh, we had attacked what
(24:20):
I forget the name of the city was, would be
Toronto nowadays, way back when and the invasion came down
from Canada with British troops and they burned the White House,
the capitol.
Speaker 13 (24:31):
They took another shot at it, if you will.
Speaker 12 (24:33):
And here she is going on the air talking about
how we went to war with Canada and Canada burned
the White She you know, you know what she reminds
me of. Tell me you're not thinking about this. It
reminds me of you guessed at John Belushian animal house.
Speaker 13 (24:48):
Remember this, nothing is.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Over until we decided it is.
Speaker 22 (24:53):
Was it over when the German's bombpar.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
German?
Speaker 21 (24:59):
Forget it.
Speaker 23 (25:01):
Over?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Now, that's why not going and gets tough?
Speaker 13 (25:06):
The Shermans says Joy Reid a tough get going, right,
Let's go God.
Speaker 12 (25:18):
That that discussion that Joy Reid was having was with
Don Lemon and Don lemonhead, who's not a stupid guy.
I don't believe he is. I think he's a pretty
bright guy. He's an ass, But just because you're an
ass doesn't make you stupid, right, So he kind of
was awkwardly laughing in the background, but he never corrected
(25:39):
her and said, hey, Joy, you got you got, you
got this one wrong.
Speaker 13 (25:45):
But what does it feed into? It feeds in. It's
a perfect segue.
Speaker 12 (25:52):
Did you guys happen to see the her name is
mar I forget her first name, who was tested buying
in front of Congress this past week. In regards to
whether or not the government should continue to fund NPR
(26:14):
public broadcasting, it's simple. Should the American taxpayer be stuck
with the bill to fund a network that has an agenda?
Now do they have a right to have an agenda, Yes,
they do, but why should the taxpayer pick up the bill?
(26:42):
It's the same thing that we've talked about before about
the National Endowment for the Arts, the Kennedy Center.
Speaker 13 (26:48):
Leave the taxpayer out of it.
Speaker 12 (26:53):
You know, if you're having a conversation with a liberal,
say to the liberal, do you think taxpayer dollars should
be used to fund Fox News? Well, I definitely don't.
Should taxpayer dollars be used to fund the NRA?
Speaker 14 (27:11):
No?
Speaker 12 (27:12):
Should taxpayer dollars be used to fund the offices of
lgbt Q plus what alphabet people?
Speaker 8 (27:20):
No?
Speaker 12 (27:22):
All those in the fforementioned have a right under the
free speech clause of the First Amendment to express their
opinions on anything, but they shouldn't pull the taxpayer into it.
So the voice of Reason, Bill Maher, I mean, I
(27:46):
when I heard the joy read thing is just an example,
but it's Aggestion't you pick on her? But you turn
on a lot of these or the or the newspapers.
I mean, are we shooting the taxpayer fund newspapers? The
Wall Street Journal is conservative, The New York Times is liberal. No,
no tax dollars are used, So why should we fund NPR. Well,
(28:08):
Bill Maher, the voice of Reason, laid it out.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
And he's a guy.
Speaker 13 (28:13):
Look, he just had dinner with Trump.
Speaker 12 (28:15):
He is a liberal, but he's one of these people
that I love watching him because he's not afraid to
tell his own side.
Speaker 13 (28:23):
Go stick it, you're wrong on this issue.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
Now to listen, the heads of NPR and PBS testified
before Congress this week amid accusations of liberal bias. Should
the government continue to send taxpayer dollars to public broadcasters? Well,
a little background here. I mean they've been after them
for the Republicans have wanted to get rid of PBS
for as long as I can remember. This crowd will
(28:47):
probably do it. I mean I also read my namesake
Catherine Maher was head of NPR and you she said,
we're completely unbiased. Give me a break, lady. I mean
they're crazy far left. So I mean, I think we're
past my view, we're past the age really where the government.
(29:10):
First of all, they why do we need to subsidize?
Why can't we have outlets like this? And we're so polarized.
These outlets became popular at a time when Republicans and
Democrats didn't hate each other and weren't at each other's
throats and didn't think each other was an existential threat.
In that world, you can't have places like this, I
(29:33):
think anymore. They have to be private.
Speaker 12 (29:36):
I look, when I was a producer in talk radio
in Boston. Our station had a conservative slant, but right
down the hallway from the production studio I was in
was something called a sales department where they had to
(29:56):
go out and sell the show, and the rep would
come to me and I was producing, Like, for example,
I was doing Jay Severn for a while. Hey, Jeremy,
do you think Jay would be interested in doing an
endorsement for XYZ? Let me talk to him. There's all
sorts of rules, but the product and all this fine.
We made our own money. We didn't take it from
(30:19):
the taxpayer.
Speaker 23 (30:21):
Right.
Speaker 13 (30:22):
Well, there are.
Speaker 12 (30:27):
People believe it or not believe it or not think
that because the taxpayers, sorry strike that. There are people
out there, real left wing loonies who feel that because
what NPR is doing is a constitutional right, which it is, speech, expression, opining,
(30:52):
whatever you want to call it, because it's constitutional, the
government should pay for it to protect did to which
my response is okay, if you want to play that game.
I want the I'm going to send the government a
bill from my internet connection, my microphone, my software, my
(31:14):
road mixing board, all the tools, all the things that
I use here so I can expouse my opinion two
times a week.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
If that.
Speaker 13 (31:26):
No, it is, it's my responsibility.
Speaker 12 (31:31):
If you want to go down to the end of
the street and hold up a sign that says whatever
whatever you're protesting or whatever you believe in, that's fine.
But the government's not going to pay for your poster
board and your magic markers. It doesn't work that way.
Fun stuff, isn't it. So No, NPR is on the
chopping block, and they should have been years ago. I
(31:53):
think there was a bit of a pullback for a
while where they lost some money, and but now it's
basically I think Trump just wants to say, hey, look,
we're not denying your right to exist. Now, the people
on the the anti trumpels will say, oh, he's a suppressionist.
Speaker 13 (32:11):
No he's not suppression he's just the opposite. They're the suppressionists.
Speaker 12 (32:16):
Just pay for it yourself, just like I said, I
gotta pay for this myself. Do you want to see
do you want to see? Think a liberal out there
who listens to my program thinks that the taxpayers should
fund my equipment and everything I use here to to
to to open my pie hole I do. I think not,
and I don't blame them. They're not wrong, all right.
I'm germanly dissustaining ground. This is Mojo five oz Radio.
(32:38):
When we get back final break, there is a couple
of things I want to address. I want to address
the whole liberal that the glass is always half empty thing.
It's it's more obvious today than it has ever been
in my opinion. But there is a movie coming out, uh,
(32:58):
it's open Stirs Day, and I'm gonna go see it
called The Luckiest Man Alive.
Speaker 13 (33:05):
It's the story of.
Speaker 12 (33:09):
Michael Larson, an unemployed ice cream truck driver in nineteen
eighty four that went on the show Press Your Luck
and walked away with one hundred and twenty thousand dollars,
which in nineteen eighty four was unheard of.
Speaker 13 (33:27):
It would be equivalent to about three hundred and thirty
grand today. And the movie is.
Speaker 12 (33:34):
Being billed as the Michael Larson Pressed Your Luck scandal.
It may have been a lot of things, but it
was no scandal, and that's what I want to address,
amongst a couple of other things. All Right, I'm germanly.
This is standing ground, this is Mojo fiber radio, quick
break right back.
Speaker 14 (33:54):
You can't make Canada the fifty first state without going
to war with them. And let me explain how that happened,
how that worked out. The last time we tried to
go to war with Canada, they burned the White House
to the ground in eighteen.
Speaker 13 (34:07):
Fourteen and won the war. She's so standad up, get
us in the war in eighteen twelve.
Speaker 12 (34:14):
Nothing is over until we decided this was it over.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
When the Sherman's bomb pour, hon.
Speaker 9 (34:20):
Hello, Sherman for gotted. He's rolling hey.
Speaker 24 (34:24):
Over now, that's why they're going and gets tough.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Hit the Sherman's book, says Joy Reid.
Speaker 13 (34:35):
A tough get gone right was with me? Let's go gone.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
You're listening to Standing Ground with Jeremy. Lady. Have you
been crying like.
Speaker 16 (35:45):
A bitch over Elon musk. Do you find yourself sobbing
at the thought of your taxpayer funded transgender basket weaving
club losing its funding? You may be suffering from a
common condition known as libtartism induced meltdown, but don't worry.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
There's hell.
Speaker 16 (36:00):
Introducing Grow a Pair, the revolutionary prescription solution designed to
help you accept reality.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
With just one dose a day, you'll.
Speaker 16 (36:08):
Start to understand that tax dollars aren't meant for gender
numeral electric vehicle startups in Vietnam. After taking Grow a Pair,
you may notice life changing improvements such as smaller man boobs,
the ability to fund your own transgender basket weaving without
relying on Uncle Sam, and a newfound indifference to the
defunding of the US Department of Slope Sidewalk Studies. Grow
(36:30):
a Pair won't solve all your problems, but it can
help you stop fixating on who's going to pay for
DEI putting packs in Cambodia. Side effects may include dry mouth,
increased common sense, employment, smaller man boobs, and lower taxes.
Ask your doctor if Grow a Pair is right for you,
because adulting is hard, but it.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Doesn't have to be. You're listening to Standing Ground with
Jeremy Lahy.
Speaker 9 (36:53):
Yes, ma'am, the data and the megas inaccurate.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
How's that, Jennett, Well, I just happened to see a
MiG twenty eight.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
Sorry, we happen to see a MiG twenty eight do
a four G negative dive?
Speaker 14 (37:10):
Where did you see this?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
That's classified? That's what it's classified. I could tell you,
but then I'd have to kill you.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Let's meet out three contestants buying for the big bucks.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Big bucks. Now the big board is filled with money.
But be careful of the whammies because they'll think you
right back down to zero.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Let's see those.
Speaker 12 (37:53):
Box four thousand and a sten I'm gonna keep going,
steals this pass.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
The mathematicians are giving me six to one odds.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
What's around with this guy?

Keep going?
Speaker 8 (38:08):
He's gonna do.
Speaker 13 (38:11):
Twenty gowns dolls.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
We have a problem.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Somebody didn't vet this guy. He's not playing the game right.
Speaker 24 (38:22):
We got to scare him a little pity he got
held up here in LA.
Speaker 9 (38:28):
It's a lot of money. Do you want to spend
and misk losing it?
Speaker 13 (38:31):
All that said again, I try to want it.
Speaker 8 (38:40):
Let's find out who this guy is.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Are you doing something wrong?
Speaker 8 (38:50):
Nextual closing a big deal right now?
Speaker 18 (38:52):
That's gonna change yourn.
Speaker 10 (38:56):
I don't want to tell you an you're gonna rule
for that, and I know you from somewhere not American
must wanted.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Right, do you think that he's working alone?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
I have no idea of art a game.
Speaker 14 (39:07):
Right.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
You just made more than anyone in the history of
game shows.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Luck is just a good excuse to do nothing and
then hope that an opportunity becomes a knocking.
Speaker 12 (39:24):
Okay, welcome back to the final break. I'm German Lay.
This is standing Ground. This is Mojo Fiber Radio. Guys,
don't forget follow me on Twitter at Lady l E
A h Y Jeremy j E R E M Y
Hit Notifications. That is the trailer to a film that
I'm going to see on Thursday, and I'm actually really
excited about it because I remember this as a kid
called the Luckiest Man in America starring Paul Houser. I
(39:48):
think I have that name right. If you guys are
movie bops, you'll know him. He played Richard Jewel in
the Clint Eastwood film about you know, the the Atlantic,
the Centennial Park bombing, where he was wrongly targeted. Very
good actor. He's also in a movie called Queen Pins
and so I like him. But he's perfect for the park.
(40:10):
But what happened, Well, the way they're describing what happened
and This is why I want to watch the movie
is because I always believe in the old Confucius maxim,
which is the first step towards wisdom is calling something
by its proper name. And they're referring to this whole
(40:31):
thing as the Michael Larson Press Your Luck scandal. Okay,
Michael Larson was an unemployed ice cream truck driver that
auditioned for the show Pressed Your Luck. For those of
you who don't remember the show, Pressed Your Lock. Press
Your Luck was you know, there were contestants and they
sat in the middle. I'm just going to give you
a quick genesis, and the lights would go in a
(40:51):
crazy pattern, and then you'd hit the button and it
would land on five hundred dollars, and then you get
to a certain to keep it and leave and wait,
or you could press your luck and go further, and
then if you got whammy, the little devil comes up
and you lose it all like bankrupt on Wheel of Fortune.
Speaker 13 (41:11):
The same time, same same principle. But they were pre
they they were they were. There were a light pattern
that went back and forth.
Speaker 12 (41:18):
You know, your head would spin around and you'd try
to hit it without getting without getting whammied. Well, what
Michael Larson did, who was being portrayed by Paul Hauser
in this movie, is he he had a history of
being a scam artist said here that he he going
back to uh A junior high. He he got involved
(41:42):
in a money making scheme where he upmarked the price
of candy bars and sold them to unsuspecting those schoolers.
But he his whole life, his whole life was he
did he did crazy things. He started up a company
in one of his family members' names, and then he
fired himself so he could collect unemployment insurance. He had
(42:03):
a criminal mind. Well, when he went on pressure luck,
what happened was he saw it one day, any boy,
this is interesting, and he went out and he bought
he got a VCR, which those days that was the
recording device, and he recorded several of the shows and
he sat in front of the TV with his remote
(42:26):
to the VCR and he would stop it at a
certain point. And what he determined was is that what
he determined was that the light patterns back and forth
were five predetermined patterns that went in a certain direction.
Speaker 13 (42:44):
He just studied it. He figured it out.
Speaker 12 (42:49):
So he figured by practicing he would know when to
hit the button. He didn't know that he was going
to win a new sailboat or one thousand dollars, but
he knew when to hit it, so at least he
wouldn't want you guessed it get whimmied. So he went
on the show, and he kept going and going and going.
(43:12):
A lot of game shows had a cap you could
only win so much, but he went and he got
all the way to one hundred and twenty thousand dollars,
and then the other two they lost, They got whammied,
and he won everything like that, And it was a
major embarrassment to CBS because they're like, how the hell
did he do this? Well, the way the movie's being described,
(43:37):
not just in the trailer I played, but the reviews
I'm reading, they're using the words scandal and cheating. It
was not a scandal and there was no cheating involved
at all.
Speaker 13 (43:51):
Call it what it is.
Speaker 12 (43:53):
What he outsmarted the network. He figured out he figured
out the pattern. It's like, it's like the story of
those MIT students who figured out the pattern at a
blackjack table in Vegas. They just were math whizzes, you know,
they did statistics and all this kind of stuff, and
(44:15):
they figured out how to go in and win. They
got to a million dollars and they kicked them out
of the casino. They didn't break the law, they just
figured it out. So my understanding is is that CBS.
CBS never challenged the payment in court because I think
they probably felt, this is my own posit is that
(44:36):
they felt they already had one black guy. If they
went to prison, they'd get two because any judge in
good standing would say, show me how he cheated, you know,
hypothetically if he had gone in, Yeah, as a hypo,
if he went in and he was conspiring with somebody
behind the scenes to tell him when, that.
Speaker 13 (44:55):
Would be different. He didn't do that. He figured it
out on its own and he beat the system. And
that was a shitload of cake back then.
Speaker 12 (45:05):
So anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the movie, but
I just get irritated when I see things being called something.
Speaker 13 (45:12):
I'm like, no, it's not, it's it's not.
Speaker 12 (45:15):
I mean, if anybody out there who's seen or read
about it, if you think that he cheated or it
would be equivalent to a scandal, please send me an
email and justify your opinion. Back your opinion up at
sorry at standing ground, Standing ground seventeen seventy six at
gmail dot com. Standing round one seven seven six at
gmail dot com. I'd love to hear your opinion. All right, Well,
(45:36):
I want to end yes on a negative note, but
amusing at the same time.
Speaker 13 (45:42):
Okay, bear with me. Oh god, I sound like Rachel Maddow.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
Bear with me. Bear with me.
Speaker 13 (45:48):
Don't you hate when she does that? Don't go anywhere.
This is important. Okay.
Speaker 12 (45:53):
You've heard the expression that liberals the glass is always
half right. Have you ever heard the expression of Hobson's choice.
I think I have this right the political philosopher. You
have a choice over something, but if you say no,
you get nothing. All right, So when it comes to
(46:16):
the left, it's always everything's horrible, nothing's positive.
Speaker 13 (46:21):
Nothing.
Speaker 12 (46:21):
For instance, I said, I said it earlier. You have
one thousand dollars in the bank. You know you'd like
to have a thousand dollars in the bank, but you
check your out, you got five hundred. We'll be happy
you got the five hundred.
Speaker 8 (46:32):
Whatever.
Speaker 13 (46:33):
But the whole everything is bad. Everything is I mean,
this goes way back.
Speaker 12 (46:37):
I mean I grew up in the eighties and I
remember acid rain, the aids epidemic was going to kill us.
All AIDS was bad, but it was going to get
into the heterosexual community, was going to wipe us all out.
You know, the rising tides, the temperatures, the earth was
still now going through it, the earth warming, the overpopulation,
and none of it, none of it matric matriculated. You know,
(47:01):
crazy stuff, cats and dogs living together, mice meeting with fish.
Speaker 13 (47:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (47:05):
Call it whatever you want, but the left doesn't have
the ability anymore really to laugh. I was having a
conversation with a friend of mine the other night, and
I say, the left has put a stick up society's
ass because everything is bad, everything's offensive, and well, not
(47:26):
here I choose to tell any joke I want.
Speaker 13 (47:28):
I don't care. I don't do I don't do PC.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
I just don't.
Speaker 24 (47:32):
Okay, all right, but.
Speaker 12 (47:35):
That's my personal thing. If they had it their way,
I would be finder or I wouldn't be allowed to
be doing what I'm doing. But just to give an example,
after the election, when Donald Trump won, I think we
got to them more. Was that the fact that he
clearly won, there was no question about it. Do you
remember Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 23 (47:52):
It was a terrible night, for women, for children, for
the hundreds of thousands of hard working immigrants who make
this country go for healthcare, for climate, for science, for
our eyes in Ukraine, Bernado.
Speaker 13 (48:12):
Oh, Johnny Carson, where are you? We miss you? We
miss you.
Speaker 12 (48:18):
Look, there's there's so many there's so many different cuts
I could find. Like Meryl Streep after Donald Trump won
and she talked about how we were all going to
be in a nuclear ash and we're all going to
die and all this sort of thing. It really is true.
If you have any if you have any if you
have any friends or family on the left, I'd like
to bet in the last month you've had a conversation
(48:39):
with him where when it cut to any social political issue,
everything was bad. Everything is bad.
Speaker 14 (48:48):
And the.
Speaker 12 (48:50):
Constitutional crisis, that's the new one. That's that's the that's
the new fear mongering.
Speaker 13 (48:56):
Here we go.
Speaker 6 (48:57):
Is a constitutional crisis, closed, constitutional crisis.
Speaker 16 (49:01):
Sousing, a constitutional crisis, a constitutional crisis, a constitutional crisis,
constitutional crisis. It means constitutional crisis in a constitutional crisis,
institutional crisis, constitutional crisis, constitutional crisis, constitutional crisis, constitutional crisis.
Speaker 12 (49:19):
Constitutional crisis, constitutional crisis.
Speaker 6 (49:23):
We have a constitutional crisis, as a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
In this constitutional crisis.
Speaker 3 (49:28):
This is a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 9 (49:31):
This is the most serious constitution crisis, the constitutional crisis.
Speaker 13 (49:38):
Yeah, constitutional crisis. You're right, all right, Well.
Speaker 3 (49:46):
There you have it.
Speaker 13 (49:47):
I mean, yeah, the the word the world. The world
is ending. And it's always been that way with the
lab I grew up. It was all around me.
Speaker 12 (50:05):
Domestically, academically, I was surrounded by well, I'm in Massachusetts.
You know, it's just the world's gonna end tomorrow. But anyway, hey,
so I thought I would leave on that nice positive note.
We're in a constitutional crisis. The world's gonna end any day,
you know what I mean, And hey, let's go out.
Let's go out with Basically, this is Leonard Niemoy. Now,
(50:28):
to be honest with you, I don't really remember and
I don't know what Leonard Nimoy's politics were, but I
kind of assumed just by listening to him that he
was probably a liberal guy. Okay, doctor Spock. But someone
posted this on the internet and this is it was
on X this I'm gonna end the show. This sums
(50:49):
liberals up. It's beautiful. All right, till next time, guys,
God bless, I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 24 (50:53):
Each of us must at some time confront the grim
reality of growing old steadily. Millions of killer bees warming
Northwood toward the United States. We have no way to
stop the tornado.
Speaker 8 (51:04):
We can only try to cope with it.
Speaker 11 (51:05):
Giant tremors can still strike suddenly and without warning.
Speaker 1 (51:10):
The violent forces of the earth and the sea.
Speaker 11 (51:12):
May combine, sending a tidal wave speeding toward our populated shorts.
A bit of DNAs flies into a harmless bacterium could
create a deadly germ. If this shark is capable of
committing such savagery on large animals, one shutters at what
it can do. Demand If the vast ocean could be
pulled toward the beckoning Moon, could we also be at.
Speaker 1 (51:33):
The mercy of her gravity?
Speaker 24 (51:34):
And a sudden gust of wind in a closed room
and unearthly cry in.
Speaker 1 (51:39):
The dead of night.
Speaker 24 (51:41):
These are physical examples of the ghost reliving its final
moments as a human. Given the very real possibility of
a catastrophic event, will we be given time to react
when the killer bees will arrive and exactly how they
will behave when they get here?
Speaker 6 (51:55):
We don't know.

Standing Ground has been a production of Lahy Media.
You're listening to Standing Ground with Jeremy Lady.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I used to think the Democrats were crazy for saying
that men have periods, but then I met Tim walltz Well.
I'd better wrap up because Mayor Adams told me earlier
that I needed to make this one very quick, especially
the city has reserved this room for a large group
of illegal aliens coming in from Texas. There's a group
(00:29):
called white Dudes for Harris. Have you seen this white
dude for Harris? If anybody know some of you hear
white dudes. It doesn't sound like it. But I'm not
worried about them at all because their wives and their
wives lovers are all voting for me. Made your issue
of this racist childcare, and Kamala has put forward a
(00:51):
concept of a plan. A lot of people don't like it.
The only piece of advice I would have for her
and the event that she wins, would be not to
let her husband, Doug anywhere near the nannies. That's a
nasty one. Chuck Schumer is here.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Looking very glum.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Looks dumb.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Me, it looks lovely. But look on the bright shot, Chuck,
considering how woke your party has become. If Kamala loses
used to have a chance to become the first woman president.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Chuky, Chunky's chuky what you said me?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
This is I've got to see. Standing Ground is a
production of lahy media.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
I've taken the liberty of anticipating your condition and I
brought you orange juice, coffee and espritance or do you
need to throw up?
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Hours before the US launched these surprise attacks on the
Houthy militant group in Yemen, the Atlantics editor in chief
Jeffrey Goldberg had all the details right in front of him.
Speaker 7 (02:38):
And I'm sitting in a Safeway parking lot watching my
phone and realizing, oh my god, this might be real.
Speaker 8 (02:45):
I think.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
Pete Hegseth just sent this group actual targeting information, actual
sequencing of an attack.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
He'd been mistakenly invited to an encrypted group chat by
Donald Trump's own national security advice Mike Waltz. It was
their defense secretary. Pete Hegseth posted the wool plans.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
Why would they do it on signal? Why would they
do this on a messaging app? And why would they
invite the editor in chieva The Atlantic to watch? And
it's a level of recklessness that I have not seen
in many years of reporting our national security issues.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Shall we ray.
Speaker 9 (03:24):
How about global thermal nuclear war?
Speaker 10 (03:31):
Working to you per a game chefs later, let's play
global thermal nuclear or fir.
Speaker 11 (04:00):
Well.
Speaker 12 (04:10):
Okay, right off the bat, I have to say, because
I want to establish this right in the billboard in
the beginning of today's program, and that is this. Those
individuals Pete hegseth at All and others should not have
been using the signal app to be discussing things like
(04:33):
they were discussing. Now it's become a war of words
because the White House is saying it was not classified
information and the press is saying that it was, So
it becomes sort of a back and forth. But notwithstanding,
it was what I would definitely call sensitive information. Two,
(04:55):
the reporter from the Atlantic got into the thread by accident.
Speaker 13 (05:02):
It was not intentional.
Speaker 12 (05:05):
It wouldn't be like the same thing as someone intentionally
putting an unsecured server without a government firewall on their property.
There's no malice involved, right, mensrea. The doer of the
act shall not be guilty of the act unless the
mind be shown to be guilty. Accidents, generally speaking, are
(05:30):
not illegal. They're accidents. The ones that really the ones
that really made this a problem, if you want to
make it a national security issue, is The Atlantic. They
published it, they put it on the internet. It went
to all corners of the earth. The White House didn't.
(05:51):
The Atlantic did. And they're calling they're calling the White
House reckless. Who's being reckless? You'd think the reporter would say, Hey,
wait a minute, I'm not supposed to be on this thread.
I'm calling the NSA guys. I don't know how to
tell you this, but I'm not supposed to see any
of the shit. Oh no, put it out there. But
(06:13):
it's a terrible thing that it's out there.
Speaker 13 (06:15):
All right.
Speaker 12 (06:16):
I think you know where I'm going. I'm german Ly.
This is Standing Ground, this is Mojo Fible Radio. It
is Wednesday, April second. Let's get this show on the road.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Why would they do this on a messaging app and
why would they invite the editor in Chieva the Atlantic
to watch? And it's a level of recklessness that I
have not seen in many years of reporting our national
security issues.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
You're listening to Standing Ground with Jeremy Lahy.
Speaker 14 (07:29):
How did you learn that a journalists was privy to
the targets, the types of weapons used.
Speaker 13 (07:34):
I've heard I was characterized. Nobody was texting war plans.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Donald Trump told reporters he was unaware of the incident.
Speaker 15 (07:44):
I know nothing about it. You're saying that they had what.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
This is an extraordinary national security breach. Not only were
military plans shared with a journalist, but it was done
outside the usual secure government channels. It raises serious questions
about how this administered stration handles classified information and the
security protocols.
Speaker 16 (08:04):
It follows.
Speaker 17 (08:05):
This whole Trump administration is filled with lackeys and incompetent cronies.
Think about that, you've put these people in charge.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
The White House has told the ABC the group chat
appears to be authentic, an accidental invite that could have
career ending ramifications.
Speaker 12 (08:34):
Okay, welcome to the program. I am Germanly. This is
Mojo Fiber Radio. My email standing ground seventeen seventy six
at gmail dot com standing around one seven seven six
at gmail dot com.
Speaker 13 (08:44):
Follow me on.
Speaker 12 (08:44):
Twitter at leahy l e a h y jeremy j
e r e m Y. That is at le e
l e a h y jeremy j e r e
m Y. Make sure you hit notifications. Okay, so is
this a constitutional crisis as the as the media loves
to put out there nowadays, everything's a constitutional crisis. No,
(09:06):
it's not. It was a bad thing. I have to
confess because I have to give proper attribution. I was
speaking to one of my producers about a week ago,
Reagan Ronald, and Reagan Ronald made a fair point where
he said it was probably better if the administration just
(09:28):
didn't say anything and said, I'm sorry, it was a mistake,
but it's under review. We're not commenting on it. That's it.
It's it's a fair point to make. I don't know
if I believe I agree with him in totem because
that might cause more suspicion. But at the same time,
his point was, and if he's listening, he can call
(09:48):
and correct me. He's got my private number. Is that
once you start talking about it, you give it legs.
And that's a very that's a fair point. But it
is a bit of a catch twenty two because if
they don't answer, then they think they've got something to hide.
So it's kind of a it's a two way street
if you will, well it kind the whole thing kind
(10:09):
kind of reminded me a little bit. We played the
opening there from the movie War Games with Matthew Broderick
and Ally Sheety, and you know, the whole classified information
thing now more obtusely has been more under the microscope
really since the Hillary Clinton thing.
Speaker 13 (10:30):
Well, the the.
Speaker 12 (10:33):
Idea is, and I said before in the beginning, is
that you have to show malice Hillary Clinton, of all people.
She weighed in on this and called it irresponsible and
hypocritical about d da da da da da. What they
did or they've been accused of doing, you know, what
they did, actually what they did is so.
Speaker 13 (10:57):
It's so far different than what she did.
Speaker 12 (11:01):
What she did is what she did something where she
knew could put national security at risk when the State
Department told her not to do it. So I think,
quite frankly, I think this story is pretty much already
(11:22):
dead in the water, you know, career ending ramifications. I
don't think so. But it did kind of remind me of,
you know, if I ever came across anything like that.
Speaking of the movie War Games, you guys knows, you
guys know the actor Eddie Deason.
Speaker 13 (11:39):
He always plays a geek.
Speaker 12 (11:41):
Do you remember the scene when when Matthew Broderick brings
him the information he's found, the classified information, or he
thinks it's he thinks it's a gaming company, but it
turns out to be something not a gaming company. It's
like the government, it's NORAD, it's everything. I the love
the way this guy played the part.
Speaker 13 (11:56):
Listen to this.
Speaker 9 (11:57):
This didn't come from pro division.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
You bet that's where it did come from. Jim, go
ahead ask him.
Speaker 18 (12:01):
I told you already looks military to me. Definitely military,
probably classify too. Yeah, but if it's military, what is
games like checkers and backgam You're.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Not suppoted to the CIENA that stuff.
Speaker 18 (12:12):
That system probably get paints the nude data encryption algorithm.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You'll never get in there.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I don't believe that any system is totally secure. I
bet you, Jim could get in.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah, I bet you could. I bet you you could.
Speaker 11 (12:22):
Well, you'll never get in through the frontline securities, but
you might look for a backdoor.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I can't believe it, Jim. That girl standing over there
listening and you're tone over our back doors head just
a potita head. Back Doors are not secrets. Yeah, but
jimmy're giving away all our best tricks.
Speaker 12 (12:38):
It's it's it's almost like if Eddie Deson, that actor
got into the signal chat.
Speaker 13 (12:44):
You know, this is what he would say.
Speaker 18 (12:46):
Looks military to me, definitely military. Probably classify too. You're
not suppoted to the CENA that stuff. That system probably
get paints the nude data encryption algorithm.
Speaker 12 (12:55):
Unless I'm missing something. As of today, we still don't
know how this reporter got in the thread, So they're
kind of pinning it somewhat on Mike Walls, the National
Security Advisor to the President, when in fact he may
(13:16):
had nothing to do with it. Now, as a sidebar,
and I said this at the top, I don't think
they should be using the signal app. The signal app
is available to you and I. Anyone can get the
signal ap right, and there's no such thing as a
system that can't be broken into. That's well, it can
(13:36):
make it extremely difficult. But I remember once, I don't
know if these still are they they have them or
they don't have them.
Speaker 13 (13:44):
Do you remember the Congressman Stephen Lynch.
Speaker 12 (13:47):
Stephen Lynch was in Boston at an event and I
was talking to him and he showed me his government phone. Now,
he just he kind of showed it was all the
screen was locked and everything like that. But he had
he showed me this device that he had that is
a it's a secure network among a certain group of people,
and no one else can get in if they try to,
(14:09):
it's just it becomes encrypted. They can't see anything. And
my understanding was that all government officials are in the
executive branch, in the legislative. I think Stephen Lynch was
on armed services. People at high level positions have phones
that they can carry that are that are very safe
to use to communicate back and forth with people.
Speaker 13 (14:34):
So the technology exists.
Speaker 12 (14:36):
That's what That's what bothers me about it that they
would they would choose to do this over over signal.
But once again, the media is just making it out
to be something that it's really not. Okay, here's Donald
Trump being asked about it.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Saified.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Do you think that Mike Wweltz made in the state
and doesn't needs to apologize.
Speaker 15 (14:55):
No, I don't think he should apologize. I think he's
doing his best. It's equipment and technology that's not perfect,
and probably he won't be using it again, at least
not in the very near future.
Speaker 12 (15:09):
What do you do, that's sir, I agree with you,
let's get everybody in the room whenever possible.
Speaker 15 (15:15):
A lot of times you find out defects by exactly
things like that. But I don't think it's something we're
looking forward to using. Again, we may be forced to
use it. You may be in a situation where you
need speed as opposed to gross safety, and you may
be forced to use it, But generally speaking, I think
we probably won't be using it very much.
Speaker 12 (15:37):
I mean, the media would do anything they could depin
it on Trump himself personally do it. But other than
exception of a few people in that room, through the
entire Hillary debacle, which was a serious breach of national security,
(16:01):
they all just went over it. A lot of them
did and just said, you know, it really wasn't a
big deal, and they defended her, when in fact, when
James Komi came out, he said, no, this was the
serious problem. So once again not saying that it's okay,
but it's not the same thing as others. The other
(16:22):
point too, about classified information when it comes to the left, well,
I'm saying classified information, the White House is saying once again,
this was not But anyway, when it comes to sensitive
or classified information, the left has always had this thing
about what our right to know?
Speaker 13 (16:42):
We have a right to know everything? Well, no, we don't.
Speaker 12 (16:47):
In the nineteen seventies, when Daniel Ellsberg stole classified information
from the Pentagon and gave it to the press, the
left cheer led for him. Edward Snowden released classified information, gave.
Speaker 13 (17:07):
It to the media, and he is a hero.
Speaker 12 (17:15):
Yet yet for some while we know the reason. But
you know what I mean, it's obvious that when it
happens to the other side, the media and the left
in general, they take a completely different tag. This is
very dangerous, that information should not.
Speaker 13 (17:34):
Be available to the press. Please, And they say.
Speaker 12 (17:38):
Well, Edward Snowden, Edward Snowden gave out plans that the
government was using to spy on Americans, and da da
da da. Okay, fine, fair enough. I mean they are
different things, I'll give you that. But classified is classified.
Whether it's whether it is a military strike or it's
(17:58):
a picture of a tomato floating floating in a bucket
of milk, it's classified, all right. Here is here's Telsey
Gabbard testifying in front of Congress regarding the matter.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
Director Gabbett, were.
Speaker 19 (18:13):
You overseas during any parts of these discussions. Yes, Senator,
I was were you using your private phone or a
public phone for the signal discussions?
Speaker 20 (18:26):
I won't speak to this because it's under review by
the National Security Council. Once that review is complete, I'm
sure we'll share the results with the committee.
Speaker 19 (18:35):
What is under review, It's a very simple question. Your
private phone or are officially issued phone? What could be
under review?
Speaker 20 (18:43):
National Security Council is reviewing all aspects of how this
came to be, how the journalist was inadvertently added to
the group chat, and what occurred within that chat across
the board.
Speaker 12 (18:57):
Okay, there you have it. Now we're going to move
on in the next break. I mean I only do
real two breaks. Anyway, I'm gonna crime a few things in.
But I wanted to get on and jump on and
talk about this. But as of today, the story itself
is beginning to fade. However, when I went through the
wires this morning, they're saying that Mike Walls may have
(19:19):
used his Gmail account to send his travel plan.
Speaker 13 (19:23):
Here we go again.
Speaker 12 (19:25):
So when it comes to I guess, compromising safety and
national security, there is plenty plenty of blame to go around.
I can assure you, uh both well, Joe Biden had
classified information, Donald Trump had classified information, Mike Pence had it,
Hillary Clinton had it. So who's who's gonna Who's going
(19:49):
to establish the rule book for who gets in trouble
and who doesn't? I don't know, all right, I'm germanly.
This is standing Ground. This is Mojo fiber radio quick
breakway back.
Speaker 18 (19:58):
Military to me, definitely military, probably classified too.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Yeah, but if it's military, what is it? Games like
checkers and back. Then you're not supposed to see any
of that stuff.
Speaker 18 (20:06):
That system probably contains a nude data encryption algorithm.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
You'll never get in there.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You're listening to Standing Ground with Jeremy.
Speaker 5 (21:03):

Speaker 1 (22:00):
You're listening to standing ground with Jeremy. Lady.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
My orders came through my squadron ships out tomorrow. We're
bombing the storage depots at Decorate at eighteen hundred hours.
We're coming in from the north below their radar. I
can't tell you that it's classified.
Speaker 14 (22:47):
Ready, Trump, let's walk, let's talk. First of all, you
can't make Canada the fifty first state without going to
war with them. And let me explain how that happened,
how that worked out. The last time we tried to
go to war with Canada, they burned the White House
to the ground in eighteenth fourteen.
Speaker 13 (23:06):
Brand won the war. So Canada beat us in the
war eighteen twelve.
Speaker 21 (23:13):
They probably liked their chances against us.
Speaker 14 (23:16):
We're not gonna beat them in a war because we
have never been able to react.
Speaker 21 (23:21):
You'd have to occupy a country that is equivalent of
the size of the United States, in which the top
two thirds of it is uninhabited.
Speaker 14 (23:33):
Frozen forest land that touches the Arctic. You know how
that worked out when the Nazis tried that with Russia,
which is the equivalent of Canada on that part of
the world.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
We gonna lose.
Speaker 12 (23:50):
Okay, there's Joy Reid, Joy Reid, formerly of MSNBC.
Speaker 13 (23:56):
How she lasted at MSNBC for so long.
Speaker 12 (23:59):
I don't know. That woman is clinically stupid. She thinks
Canada burned the White House down in eighteen twelve. Canada
was not a nation till eighteen sixty seven. And well,
we we had we had, uh, we had attacked what
(24:20):
I forget the name of the city was, would be
Toronto nowadays, way back when and the invasion came down
from Canada with British troops and they burned the White House,
the capitol.
Speaker 13 (24:31):
They took another shot at it, if you will.
Speaker 12 (24:33):
And here she is going on the air talking about
how we went to war with Canada and Canada burned
the White She you know, you know what she reminds
me of. Tell me you're not thinking about this. It
reminds me of you guessed at John Belushian animal house.
Speaker 13 (24:48):
Remember this, nothing is.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Over until we decided it is.
Speaker 22 (24:53):
Was it over when the German's bombpar.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
German?
Speaker 21 (24:59):
Forget it.
Speaker 23 (25:01):
Over?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Now, that's why not going and gets tough?
Speaker 13 (25:06):
The Shermans says Joy Reid a tough get going, right,
Let's go God.
Speaker 12 (25:18):
That that discussion that Joy Reid was having was with
Don Lemon and Don lemonhead, who's not a stupid guy.
I don't believe he is. I think he's a pretty
bright guy. He's an ass, But just because you're an
ass doesn't make you stupid, right, So he kind of
was awkwardly laughing in the background, but he never corrected
(25:39):
her and said, hey, Joy, you got you got, you
got this one wrong.
Speaker 13 (25:45):
But what does it feed into? It feeds in. It's
a perfect segue.
Speaker 12 (25:52):
Did you guys happen to see the her name is
mar I forget her first name, who was tested buying
in front of Congress this past week. In regards to
whether or not the government should continue to fund NPR
(26:14):
public broadcasting, it's simple. Should the American taxpayer be stuck
with the bill to fund a network that has an agenda?
Now do they have a right to have an agenda, Yes,
they do, but why should the taxpayer pick up the bill?
(26:42):
It's the same thing that we've talked about before about
the National Endowment for the Arts, the Kennedy Center.
Speaker 13 (26:48):
Leave the taxpayer out of it.
Speaker 12 (26:53):
You know, if you're having a conversation with a liberal,
say to the liberal, do you think taxpayer dollars should
be used to fund Fox News? Well, I definitely don't.
Should taxpayer dollars be used to fund the NRA?
Speaker 14 (27:11):
No?
Speaker 12 (27:12):
Should taxpayer dollars be used to fund the offices of
lgbt Q plus what alphabet people?
Speaker 8 (27:20):
No?
Speaker 12 (27:22):
All those in the fforementioned have a right under the
free speech clause of the First Amendment to express their
opinions on anything, but they shouldn't pull the taxpayer into it.
So the voice of Reason, Bill Maher, I mean, I
(27:46):
when I heard the joy read thing is just an example,
but it's Aggestion't you pick on her? But you turn
on a lot of these or the or the newspapers.
I mean, are we shooting the taxpayer fund newspapers? The
Wall Street Journal is conservative, The New York Times is liberal. No,
no tax dollars are used, So why should we fund NPR. Well,
(28:08):
Bill Maher, the voice of Reason, laid it out.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
And he's a guy.
Speaker 13 (28:13):
Look, he just had dinner with Trump.
Speaker 12 (28:15):
He is a liberal, but he's one of these people
that I love watching him because he's not afraid to
tell his own side.
Speaker 13 (28:23):
Go stick it, you're wrong on this issue.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
Now to listen, the heads of NPR and PBS testified
before Congress this week amid accusations of liberal bias. Should
the government continue to send taxpayer dollars to public broadcasters? Well,
a little background here. I mean they've been after them
for the Republicans have wanted to get rid of PBS
for as long as I can remember. This crowd will
(28:47):
probably do it. I mean I also read my namesake
Catherine Maher was head of NPR and you she said,
we're completely unbiased. Give me a break, lady. I mean
they're crazy far left. So I mean, I think we're
past my view, we're past the age really where the government.
(29:10):
First of all, they why do we need to subsidize?
Why can't we have outlets like this? And we're so polarized.
These outlets became popular at a time when Republicans and
Democrats didn't hate each other and weren't at each other's
throats and didn't think each other was an existential threat.
In that world, you can't have places like this, I
(29:33):
think anymore. They have to be private.
Speaker 12 (29:36):
I look, when I was a producer in talk radio
in Boston. Our station had a conservative slant, but right
down the hallway from the production studio I was in
was something called a sales department where they had to
(29:56):
go out and sell the show, and the rep would
come to me and I was producing, Like, for example,
I was doing Jay Severn for a while. Hey, Jeremy,
do you think Jay would be interested in doing an
endorsement for XYZ? Let me talk to him. There's all
sorts of rules, but the product and all this fine.
We made our own money. We didn't take it from
(30:19):
the taxpayer.
Speaker 23 (30:21):
Right.
Speaker 13 (30:22):
Well, there are.
Speaker 12 (30:27):
People believe it or not believe it or not think
that because the taxpayers, sorry strike that. There are people
out there, real left wing loonies who feel that because
what NPR is doing is a constitutional right, which it is, speech, expression, opining,
(30:52):
whatever you want to call it, because it's constitutional, the
government should pay for it to protect did to which
my response is okay, if you want to play that game.
I want the I'm going to send the government a
bill from my internet connection, my microphone, my software, my
(31:14):
road mixing board, all the tools, all the things that
I use here so I can expouse my opinion two
times a week.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
If that.
Speaker 13 (31:26):
No, it is, it's my responsibility.
Speaker 12 (31:31):
If you want to go down to the end of
the street and hold up a sign that says whatever
whatever you're protesting or whatever you believe in, that's fine.
But the government's not going to pay for your poster
board and your magic markers. It doesn't work that way.
Fun stuff, isn't it. So No, NPR is on the
chopping block, and they should have been years ago. I
(31:53):
think there was a bit of a pullback for a
while where they lost some money, and but now it's
basically I think Trump just wants to say, hey, look,
we're not denying your right to exist. Now, the people
on the the anti trumpels will say, oh, he's a suppressionist.
Speaker 13 (32:11):
No he's not suppression he's just the opposite. They're the suppressionists.
Speaker 12 (32:16):
Just pay for it yourself, just like I said, I
gotta pay for this myself. Do you want to see
do you want to see? Think a liberal out there
who listens to my program thinks that the taxpayers should
fund my equipment and everything I use here to to
to to open my pie hole I do. I think not,
and I don't blame them. They're not wrong, all right.
I'm germanly dissustaining ground. This is Mojo five oz Radio.
(32:38):
When we get back final break, there is a couple
of things I want to address. I want to address
the whole liberal that the glass is always half empty thing.
It's it's more obvious today than it has ever been
in my opinion. But there is a movie coming out, uh,
(32:58):
it's open Stirs Day, and I'm gonna go see it
called The Luckiest Man Alive.
Speaker 13 (33:05):
It's the story of.
Speaker 12 (33:09):
Michael Larson, an unemployed ice cream truck driver in nineteen
eighty four that went on the show Press Your Luck
and walked away with one hundred and twenty thousand dollars,
which in nineteen eighty four was unheard of.
Speaker 13 (33:27):
It would be equivalent to about three hundred and thirty
grand today. And the movie is.
Speaker 12 (33:34):
Being billed as the Michael Larson Pressed Your Luck scandal.
It may have been a lot of things, but it
was no scandal, and that's what I want to address,
amongst a couple of other things. All Right, I'm germanly.
This is standing ground, this is Mojo fiber radio, quick
break right back.
Speaker 14 (33:54):
You can't make Canada the fifty first state without going
to war with them. And let me explain how that happened,
how that worked out. The last time we tried to
go to war with Canada, they burned the White House
to the ground in eighteen.
Speaker 13 (34:07):
Fourteen and won the war. She's so standad up, get
us in the war in eighteen twelve.
Speaker 12 (34:14):
Nothing is over until we decided this was it over.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
When the Sherman's bomb pour, hon.
Speaker 9 (34:20):
Hello, Sherman for gotted. He's rolling hey.
Speaker 24 (34:24):
Over now, that's why they're going and gets tough.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Hit the Sherman's book, says Joy Reid.
Speaker 13 (34:35):
A tough get gone right was with me? Let's go gone.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
You're listening to Standing Ground with Jeremy. Lady. Have you
been crying like.
Speaker 16 (35:45):
A bitch over Elon musk. Do you find yourself sobbing
at the thought of your taxpayer funded transgender basket weaving
club losing its funding? You may be suffering from a
common condition known as libtartism induced meltdown, but don't worry.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
There's hell.
Speaker 16 (36:00):
Introducing Grow a Pair, the revolutionary prescription solution designed to
help you accept reality.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
With just one dose a day, you'll.
Speaker 16 (36:08):
Start to understand that tax dollars aren't meant for gender
numeral electric vehicle startups in Vietnam. After taking Grow a Pair,
you may notice life changing improvements such as smaller man boobs,
the ability to fund your own transgender basket weaving without
relying on Uncle Sam, and a newfound indifference to the
defunding of the US Department of Slope Sidewalk Studies. Grow
(36:30):
a Pair won't solve all your problems, but it can
help you stop fixating on who's going to pay for
DEI putting packs in Cambodia. Side effects may include dry mouth,
increased common sense, employment, smaller man boobs, and lower taxes.
Ask your doctor if Grow a Pair is right for you,
because adulting is hard, but it.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Doesn't have to be. You're listening to Standing Ground with
Jeremy Lahy.
Speaker 9 (36:53):
Yes, ma'am, the data and the megas inaccurate.

but then I'd have to kill you.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Let's meet out three contestants buying for the big bucks.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Big bucks. Now the big board is filled with money.
But be careful of the whammies because they'll think you

Speaker 1 (39:05):
I have no idea of art a game.
Speaker 14 (39:07):
Right.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
You just made more than anyone in the history of
game shows.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Luck is just a good excuse to do nothing and
then hope that an opportunity becomes a knocking.
Speaker 12 (39:24):
Okay, welcome back to the final break. I'm German Lay.
This is standing Ground. This is Mojo Fiber Radio. Guys,
don't forget follow me on Twitter at Lady l E
A h Y Jeremy j E R E M Y
Hit Notifications. That is the trailer to a film that
I'm going to see on Thursday, and I'm actually really
excited about it because I remember this as a kid
called the Luckiest Man in America starring Paul Houser. I
(39:48):
think I have that name right. If you guys are
movie bops, you'll know him. He played Richard Jewel in
the Clint Eastwood film about you know, the the Atlantic,
the Centennial Park bombing, where he was wrongly targeted. Very
good actor. He's also in a movie called Queen Pins
and so I like him. But he's perfect for the park.
(40:10):
But what happened, Well, the way they're describing what happened
and This is why I want to watch the movie
is because I always believe in the old Confucius maxim,
which is the first step towards wisdom is calling something
by its proper name. And they're referring to this whole
(40:31):
thing as the Michael Larson Press Your Luck scandal. Okay,
Michael Larson was an unemployed ice cream truck driver that
auditioned for the show Pressed Your Luck. For those of
you who don't remember the show, Pressed Your Lock. Press
Your Luck was you know, there were contestants and they
sat in the middle. I'm just going to give you
a quick genesis, and the lights would go in a
(40:51):
crazy pattern, and then you'd hit the button and it
would land on five hundred dollars, and then you get
to a certain to keep it and leave and wait,
or you could press your luck and go further, and
then if you got whammy, the little devil comes up
and you lose it all like bankrupt on Wheel of Fortune.
Speaker 13 (41:11):
The same time, same same principle. But they were pre
they they were they were. There were a light pattern
that went back and forth.
Speaker 12 (41:18):
You know, your head would spin around and you'd try
to hit it without getting without getting whammied. Well, what
Michael Larson did, who was being portrayed by Paul Hauser
in this movie, is he he had a history of
being a scam artist said here that he he going
back to uh A junior high. He he got involved
(41:42):
in a money making scheme where he upmarked the price
of candy bars and sold them to unsuspecting those schoolers.
But he his whole life, his whole life was he
did he did crazy things. He started up a company
in one of his family members' names, and then he
fired himself so he could collect unemployment insurance. He had
(42:03):
a criminal mind. Well, when he went on pressure luck,
what happened was he saw it one day, any boy,
this is interesting, and he went out and he bought
he got a VCR, which those days that was the
recording device, and he recorded several of the shows and
he sat in front of the TV with his remote
(42:26):
to the VCR and he would stop it at a
certain point. And what he determined was is that what
he determined was that the light patterns back and forth
were five predetermined patterns that went in a certain direction.
Speaker 13 (42:44):
He just studied it. He figured it out.
Speaker 12 (42:49):
So he figured by practicing he would know when to
hit the button. He didn't know that he was going
to win a new sailboat or one thousand dollars, but
he knew when to hit it, so at least he
wouldn't want you guessed it get whimmied. So he went
on the show, and he kept going and going and going.
(43:12):
A lot of game shows had a cap you could
only win so much, but he went and he got
all the way to one hundred and twenty thousand dollars,
and then the other two they lost, They got whammied,
and he won everything like that, And it was a
major embarrassment to CBS because they're like, how the hell
did he do this? Well, the way the movie's being described,
(43:37):
not just in the trailer I played, but the reviews
I'm reading, they're using the words scandal and cheating. It
was not a scandal and there was no cheating involved
at all.
Speaker 13 (43:51):
Call it what it is.
Speaker 12 (43:53):
What he outsmarted the network. He figured out he figured
out the pattern. It's like, it's like the story of
those MIT students who figured out the pattern at a
blackjack table in Vegas. They just were math whizzes, you know,
they did statistics and all this kind of stuff, and
(44:15):
they figured out how to go in and win. They
got to a million dollars and they kicked them out
of the casino. They didn't break the law, they just
figured it out. So my understanding is is that CBS.
CBS never challenged the payment in court because I think
they probably felt, this is my own posit is that
(44:36):
they felt they already had one black guy. If they
went to prison, they'd get two because any judge in
good standing would say, show me how he cheated, you know,
hypothetically if he had gone in, Yeah, as a hypo,
if he went in and he was conspiring with somebody
behind the scenes to tell him when, that.
Speaker 13 (44:55):
Would be different. He didn't do that. He figured it
out on its own and he beat the system. And
that was a shitload of cake back then.
Speaker 12 (45:05):
So anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the movie, but
I just get irritated when I see things being called something.
Speaker 13 (45:12):
I'm like, no, it's not, it's it's not.
Speaker 12 (45:15):
I mean, if anybody out there who's seen or read
about it, if you think that he cheated or it
would be equivalent to a scandal, please send me an
email and justify your opinion. Back your opinion up at
sorry at standing ground, Standing ground seventeen seventy six at
gmail dot com. Standing round one seven seven six at
gmail dot com. I'd love to hear your opinion. All right, Well,
(45:36):
I want to end yes on a negative note, but
amusing at the same time.
Speaker 13 (45:42):
Okay, bear with me. Oh god, I sound like Rachel Maddow.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
Bear with me. Bear with me.
Speaker 13 (45:48):
Don't you hate when she does that? Don't go anywhere.
This is important. Okay.
Speaker 12 (45:53):
You've heard the expression that liberals the glass is always
half right. Have you ever heard the expression of Hobson's choice.
I think I have this right the political philosopher. You
have a choice over something, but if you say no,
you get nothing. All right, So when it comes to
(46:16):
the left, it's always everything's horrible, nothing's positive.
Speaker 13 (46:21):
Nothing.
Speaker 12 (46:21):
For instance, I said, I said it earlier. You have
one thousand dollars in the bank. You know you'd like
to have a thousand dollars in the bank, but you
check your out, you got five hundred. We'll be happy
you got the five hundred.
Speaker 8 (46:32):
Whatever.
Speaker 13 (46:33):
But the whole everything is bad. Everything is I mean,
this goes way back.
Speaker 12 (46:37):
I mean I grew up in the eighties and I
remember acid rain, the aids epidemic was going to kill us.
All AIDS was bad, but it was going to get
into the heterosexual community, was going to wipe us all out.
You know, the rising tides, the temperatures, the earth was
still now going through it, the earth warming, the overpopulation,
and none of it, none of it matric matriculated. You know,
(47:01):
crazy stuff, cats and dogs living together, mice meeting with fish.
Speaker 13 (47:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (47:05):
Call it whatever you want, but the left doesn't have
the ability anymore really to laugh. I was having a
conversation with a friend of mine the other night, and
I say, the left has put a stick up society's
ass because everything is bad, everything's offensive, and well, not
(47:26):
here I choose to tell any joke I want.
Speaker 13 (47:28):
I don't care. I don't do I don't do PC.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
I just don't.
Speaker 24 (47:32):
Okay, all right, but.
Speaker 12 (47:35):
That's my personal thing. If they had it their way,
I would be finder or I wouldn't be allowed to
be doing what I'm doing. But just to give an example,
after the election, when Donald Trump won, I think we
got to them more. Was that the fact that he
clearly won, there was no question about it. Do you
remember Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 23 (47:52):
It was a terrible night, for women, for children, for
the hundreds of thousands of hard working immigrants who make
this country go for healthcare, for climate, for science, for
our eyes in Ukraine, Bernado.
Speaker 13 (48:12):
Oh, Johnny Carson, where are you? We miss you? We
miss you.
Speaker 12 (48:18):
Look, there's there's so many there's so many different cuts
I could find. Like Meryl Streep after Donald Trump won
and she talked about how we were all going to
be in a nuclear ash and we're all going to
die and all this sort of thing. It really is true.
If you have any if you have any if you
have any friends or family on the left, I'd like
to bet in the last month you've had a conversation
(48:39):
with him where when it cut to any social political issue,
everything was bad. Everything is bad.
Speaker 14 (48:48):
And the.
Speaker 12 (48:50):
Constitutional crisis, that's the new one. That's that's the that's
the new fear mongering.
Speaker 13 (48:56):
Here we go.
Speaker 6 (48:57):
Is a constitutional crisis, closed, constitutional crisis.
Speaker 16 (49:01):
Sousing, a constitutional crisis, a constitutional crisis, a constitutional crisis,
constitutional crisis. It means constitutional crisis in a constitutional crisis,
institutional crisis, constitutional crisis, constitutional crisis, constitutional crisis, constitutional crisis.
Speaker 12 (49:19):
Constitutional crisis, constitutional crisis.
Speaker 6 (49:23):
We have a constitutional crisis, as a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
In this constitutional crisis.
Speaker 3 (49:28):
This is a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 9 (49:31):
This is the most serious constitution crisis, the constitutional crisis.
Speaker 13 (49:38):
Yeah, constitutional crisis. You're right, all right, Well.
Speaker 3 (49:46):
There you have it.
Speaker 13 (49:47):
I mean, yeah, the the word the world. The world
is ending. And it's always been that way with the
lab I grew up. It was all around me.
Speaker 12 (50:05):
Domestically, academically, I was surrounded by well, I'm in Massachusetts.
You know, it's just the world's gonna end tomorrow. But anyway, hey,
so I thought I would leave on that nice positive note.
We're in a constitutional crisis. The world's gonna end any day,
you know what I mean, And hey, let's go out.
Let's go out with Basically, this is Leonard Niemoy. Now,
(50:28):
to be honest with you, I don't really remember and
I don't know what Leonard Nimoy's politics were, but I
kind of assumed just by listening to him that he
was probably a liberal guy. Okay, doctor Spock. But someone
posted this on the internet and this is it was
on X this I'm gonna end the show. This sums
(50:49):
liberals up. It's beautiful. All right, till next time, guys,
God bless, I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 24 (50:53):
Each of us must at some time confront the grim
reality of growing old steadily. Millions of killer bees warming
Northwood toward the United States. We have no way to
stop the tornado.
Speaker 8 (51:04):
We can only try to cope with it.
Speaker 11 (51:05):
Giant tremors can still strike suddenly and without warning.
Speaker 1 (51:10):
The violent forces of the earth and the sea.
Speaker 11 (51:12):
May combine, sending a tidal wave speeding toward our populated shorts.
A bit of DNAs flies into a harmless bacterium could
create a deadly germ. If this shark is capable of
committing such savagery on large animals, one shutters at what
it can do. Demand If the vast ocean could be
pulled toward the beckoning Moon, could we also be at.
Speaker 1 (51:33):
The mercy of her gravity?
Speaker 24 (51:34):
And a sudden gust of wind in a closed room
and unearthly cry in.
Speaker 1 (51:39):
The dead of night.
Speaker 24 (51:41):
These are physical examples of the ghost reliving its final
moments as a human. Given the very real possibility of
a catastrophic event, will we be given time to react
when the killer bees will arrive and exactly how they
will behave when they get here?
Speaker 6 (51:55):
We don't know.
