Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to October twentieth.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
October twentieth is National Chicken and Waffle's Day.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
So with me.
Speaker 4 (00:07):
Today.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I brought my chicken and waffle delicious, super good, so good.
My stomach is growling.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I can hear it from over here.
Speaker 5 (00:14):
I'm sure you have it.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Just is not naking enough.
Speaker 5 (00:18):
Black one off?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Where's my walk off? He's love chickens.
Speaker 5 (00:22):
All right, I'm ready to try these signal.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
In this PAS crisis. Government is not the solution to
our problem. Government is the problem.
Speaker 6 (00:34):
This is Charlotte County speaks, Your chance to let your
voice be heard on local, stay don National, It's hues
and Now broadcasting live from a dumpy little warehouse behind
a taco bell. The host of Charlotte County speaks, Ken love.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Joy, thank you, Johnny News Radio fifteen eighty one hundred
point nine FM, WCCF Radio dot com, and on your
iHeart Radio app. Charlotte County speaks. Ten oh eight is
the time on Ken Lovejoy and on the phone with
me is none other than Dan Perkins. Dan, how you doing, sir?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I'm fine?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Thank you and yourself good good? What's going on in
Dan's world?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Well? I was thinking about a lot of things over
the weekend, and uh, I have numbers I want to
share with you and your audience. This morning, gold was
up one hundred and twenty seven dollars announced at almost
four four hundred dollars. Simarily, the yield on the ten
(01:42):
year treasury broke four percent. Why are those two facts related.
Most of the gold that's bought in quantity in the
world is bought on leverage, meaning you borrow money to
buy more gold. And so as that price of borrowing
the money went up, the price of gold started to decline.
(02:07):
But when the market started bringing interest rates down, the
value of gold went up. And now we're under four percent.
So I would expect to see a continue increase in
the price of gold. I think the fees got to
cut at least one percent out of the cost of funds.
(02:28):
And so watch gold and watch the yield on the
ten year and you'll see another analogy, and that is
the price of crude oil. Price of crude oil this
morning hit a twelve month low at around fifty six
dollars and twenty five cents. That's been a big drop
(02:48):
over the last two weeks. Fifty six dollars. We're going
to see continued decline in prices at the pump, and again,
the cost of money to get the fuel is an
impact on the price of the fuel. So what we're
seeing is that Donald Trump is putting pressure on the
(03:08):
Fed and the market likes that. So the market is
ahead of the Fed in lowering interest rates, and as
a result, we're going to see the cost of money
come down, which means that houses could be bought, cars
could be bought, people could go out to dinner, they
could go on vacations, and things are going to change.
(03:29):
It might even be a refinancing of mortgages. It have
to go a long way to get there, but it's
certainly within their own possibility. So all the things that
mister Trump is doing is by the numbers. He's looking
at the numbers and saying, you know what's going to
happen here. So watch gold, watch the eel on the
ten year treasury, Watch the price of crude oil, and
(03:49):
which you'll see. As the price of crude oil comes down,
you're going to see a continuing decline in the inflation
rate in this country, which is one of the things
if you promise. So things are looking very positive and
the numbers support that positive outlook. Okay. Now, the other
(04:12):
thing that I've got kind of an analogy of two
unlike things that actually are similar. I want to talk
to you about Lendavi's idea of creating government owned supermarkets
in New York Okay, yeah, and the price of the
(04:34):
Affordable Care Act that they've got Congress shut down pricing
in both cases. In both cases, the government has to
put up your money to make the product or the
service affordable, which means that the government is going to
have to subsidize these markets in New York City in
(04:57):
order to try and bring prices down. But that means
that the taxpayers who are not shopping at the more
at that market are paying for the decreasing in price
of the markets because they're raising their taxes or they're
taking their tax dollars to spend to buy the food
for the markets. Now, Kansas City, Kansas City was one
(05:18):
of the first cities in the country a while ago
to establish a government market, and they closed it down
because they lost twenty million dollars. Oh yeah, because you know,
couldn't figure out how.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
If governments subsidizing it, you know, the costs are going
to keep going up for the government to subsidize.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yes, yes, and that means more tax dollars have to
be spent to produce the same benefit. It's the same
thing that's happening.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It's like the transportationment. I'm sorry, it's like public transportation.
It always it will always cost more and more and more.
It will never prices will never line, So the taxpayer
is always going to be getting jacked for more and
more taxation to pay for the subsidies.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's exactly where I was headed. And so that the
idea here is that the Affordable Care Act isn't affordable
because the government has to increasingly subsidize the premium because
on the free market standpoint, the products couldn't survive the
free market pricing of the Affordable Care Act, nobody could
(06:30):
afford to buy it. And so we have government legislation,
the Affordable Care Act, which was supposed to save us money.
And let's keep our doctor on all those wonderful things
at Obama Cross, none of them which came through. But
what's happening is the Democrats have got the government shut
down because they want a trillion and a half to
(06:52):
go into subsidy for Affordable Care Act. So that illegals
and other people can get affordable health care. Well, that's misleading,
because affordable healthcare is what the Democrats are defining as
affordable health care, and that is the Affordable Care Act.
(07:15):
And so that they know that the prices because there's
less and less competition, are going up enough and enough,
so they need more money to continue to subsidize the
American consumer who could never afford to pay the actual
market price of the Affordable Care Act insurance, so that
the government needs to put up more and more money.
(07:35):
And exactly what you were talking about. So the government
has to put up money in order for the markets
to be opened, or the subways to be free, or
colleges and universities be free. But there's still expenses that
are going on that have to be paid, and the
taxpayer is paying it through increased taxes, not efficiency in
(07:56):
the marketplace. And so the similarity between what Bundabi wants
to do in New York and the Affordable Care Rack,
which is holding a Congress hostage is the fact that
the Democrats want to keep these programs in place, but
realize they have to use tax dollars because in the
free market society, they couldn't survive because they couldn't compete
(08:20):
in the open marketplace.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Now, Mondami, I mean, he's got to know that his
plan isn't going to work. Is this just a do
you think this is just a campaign tactic? Or does
he actually plan on going through with this because there's
just way too much evidence to show his plan is
stupid and won't work because it always fails.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
That's a that's a great question, and I appolugi you
for that question. But the reality is New York is
a different world and it's it's been dominated by Democrats
liberal democrats, and that he will he will probably be elected,
although there's there's some rumblings about maybe his support is
(09:09):
beginning to falter as people again focusing an election that's
two and a half weeks away. That how realistic it
is the things that he can accomplish. So if they
go to bring him in and he can't do any
of the things he talked about, then why should we
bring him in? But that's that's that's a topic for
another show. My point is that we've we've it doesn't
(09:31):
make any difference to him whether it fails or not
or gets implemented. It is the story that he's usually
using to attract voters to change the paradigm in New
York City to elect a Communist for the mayor of
New York City. And he doesn't care whether the New
Yorkers really understand or believe what he wants to do
(09:53):
or not. It doesn't make any difference. He wants to
get in. He's going to try to put these things
in place, and he'll have a city council who will
support him. But the question becomes, how long will it
be before he starts dealing with the police force and
getting ready police officers and using eminent domain to take
(10:16):
people's houses and contamitiums and tournam into homeless shelters and
all this stuff, and the grocery stores and subways and
all these things start to happen, you're going to see,
in my opinion, a greater exodus of people. We now
know that the major all the major money center banks
that are in New York have already set up and
(10:37):
been running and testing. Uh there are operations in other
parts of the country. City Bank has got an operation
in Texas that could they could literally swall to throw
the switch in a minute and move everything from New
York to Texas to run and not skip a beat.
The New York Stock Exchange already has it had to
use during the pandemic remote processing to process trends, so
(11:01):
they're ready to go. So I would expect to see that.
If he gets in and he starts rattling the saber
about the things he's going to do, and he starts
proposing stuff, you're going to see an acceleration of people
wanting to leave New York to go some other place.
And unfortunately for us, it's going to be. Florida is
one of those places. Yea, Now, I gotta tell.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You, they just go to Jersey. Jersey's closer, Jersey. It's
right over the bridge. Come on.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, Well, there are there are some banks who have
set up remote processing operations in Jersey City and have
run them and tested them. But City Bank and other
major banks are moving way out of it, out of
the New York metropolitan in the Carolinas, Texas, and Florida.
But what's important to understand is I think that again,
(11:52):
speaking of numbers, Okay, most of the stuff that I
have read about online and in the local press about
Fort Fort Myers area, including Cape Coral that Cape Coral
is the worst performing real estate market in the country.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
And I was out yesterday and the day before, driving
around and about in a Cape Coral. I can't tell
you the number of houses that I saw being built.
I saw places in various sections of Cape Coral where four, six,
or eight houses in a row are being built new,
the new construction, the wall.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
But I've read that too, that it's not Cape Coral
Fort Myers, our area here in Sarasota, Venice, that housing
markets are down. But you're right, everybody's building, so I
don't know what's going on.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I suspect that they may be anticipating the move from
New York.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah. Yeah, but the articles that now don't move here.
We're full.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
But when you drive around as I did, and you
see over Cape Coral huge acreage of undeveloped plan, I mean,
it's this enormous amount.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Of Yeah, but Cape Coral's got Cape Coral's got infrastructure
problems big time.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Yes. Yes, So now I want to talk about another
set of numbers. I was looking at transgender and I
did a show last week on at it with my
mom's and and so let me give you the numbers
that I have. At the moment. According to Rutgers University,
(13:46):
less than one percent of the population of the United
States between the ages of thirteen and seventeen identify as transgender.
One percent.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah right, and it's going down too.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yes, I actually peaked in twenty nineteen and here we
are twenty twenty five. Last year, of course, again, according
to this study, we had twelve thousand transgender surgeries primarily
girls to boys, which was the and the major is
radical mess aactomies. Now twelve thousand out of two point
(14:27):
eight million, and two point eight million is one percent
of the age group then, and you're talking about twelve
thousand surgeries? Am I missing something? But it's just like,
why are we even talking about it?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Well, because again the left us.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Is why are the Democrats continuing to talk about transgender
and the rights of transgender people to participate males to
participate in female sports. Why are they still doing that
when the market that they could appeal to, the largest
market is two point eight million between the ages of
(15:05):
thirteen and seventeen, and none of them can vote. Now, yeah,
they have to grow older. So what what am I
missing here? Boss?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I think they were just sold on it. I mean,
the whole thing was a ruse to begin with. They
needed a new group to exploit, and transgenders seemed to
be it, but it didn't work. And and it was
also about gas lighting the rest of us too, getting
us to go in on the big lie that a
(15:36):
man can become a woman woman me. You can't question
it all will cancel your ass. You can't, you can't
question a thing, And so that was part of it.
It was part about gas lighting and syoping us as
well as exploiting this group of people for their own uses.
And now that you start seeing the they peaked and
(15:58):
people aren't you know, I think I think they peaked
during the Rona, and then coming out of that, everybody's
mental health started getting better. They're hanging around people and
doing things, participating in life, and it's dropping precipitously, and
I'm glad to see that it's dropping. And I can't
explain why the Left wants to still hang on to
(16:21):
this other than the fact that you know, they've bought
into the lies so big that they can't reject it
now they have to. It's like with the Trump derangement syndrome.
They're so sold on it now at this point from
brainwashing themselves and everybody else, they can't let go of it.
And I think that transgenderism has a lot to do
with it. Plus, you got a lot of doctors out
(16:42):
there now who've been who are butchers, and they're going
to try going to be trying to justify it as well,
else they lose their license like they should and be
publicly humiliated like they should.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
We've had several research groups have been looking at the
application forms for students coming into colleges in the freshman
year in this past September, and most of the applications
have about seven different or eight different categories. You can
say you are male, female, and the rest of the world. However,
(17:18):
what what the what the surveys are showing is that
the number of people who identified something other than male
or female is falling like a rock in the people
who are enrolling in colleges. Good, But I want to
take I want to. I know you're a lot younger
than I am, so you may not pardon me.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yes, I am as.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
You are, but I want to. I want to take
you back in time and see if you remember this story,
because this story fits with what you just talked about.
Do you remember the city of Gloucester, Massachusetts in the
Lakes when seventeen high school students girls all decided to
(18:05):
get pregnant and go to school, wear their maternity dresses
and form a club and they were going to raise
the children in the community of the seventeen and the
media was saying that it was spreading like wildfire all
over the country. Do you remember that story or not?
I do not, Okay, that's okay. So the reason why
(18:28):
I bring that story up is that it was the
mainstream media who I mean, Time Magazine, New York Times,
Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, all the networks were hyping
the seventeen girls as a fundamental shift in our economy
in America, that we're going to see pregnancy all over
(18:49):
the country and these clubs are going to be formed.
Never happened, but the media beat it to death, just like.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't remember that. I remember that, And it would
be weird for the media to beat something like that
to death because they love abortions so much, yet they
were trying to get all these girls to get knocked up.
I don't understand that.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Dan, I don't either, But I'm just telling you I
know that's what happened. They hyped it for days and
days and days and expected an explosion of pregnancy circles.
Never happened.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So how come that story didn't work but the transgender
story did work? Is that what you're implying here?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
No, I'm saying. I'm saying that when the media got
behind the transgender story and hiked it so hard, they
killed it. And that's why it started dropping in twenty
nineteen and is at the point today now where colleges
and universities are saying that dramatically less people are applying
under some kind of alternative to mail or female, so
(19:52):
the transgender movement, and so that's the situation that Democrats
have put themselves in a whole and using abusing Title
nine to have male male people participate in female sports
and in the locker rooms and all that stuff that
(20:13):
still still made no sense to me at all as
a viable strategy. But for somehow they got on the
horse and decided to ride it, and they're still trying
to ride it, and the American people are saying it
absolutely not. Now. Last set of numbers we in this
country perform approximately one million abortions abortions a year. And
(20:41):
according to the World Health this is gonna, I believe
will shock you. According to the World Health Organization, last
year across the world, seventy three million abortions were performed.
Damn really, that's equal No wait a minute, let me
(21:02):
let me put in context. That's equal to the entire
population of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales wiped out in
one year. Man, seventy three million. Now they're they're they're saying, well,
we've got eight billion people, so seventy three million is
(21:25):
not a big number. Seventy three mountain million is.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
A huge huge It's an insane k.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Yes, and and we've we and I've I found it,
but I've never seen it anywhere else publicized in the
American media ever. A million is bad enough, but seventy
three million, it's just it's just a situation where and
(21:54):
we wonder we have people who Again, I think that
part of the problem with some people, Democrats and or
Republicans who support abortion, do not understand what the long
term ramifications will be if the population continues to decline.
For example, going back to the colleges, the Department of
(22:20):
Education has run a study looking at the population of
high schools over the next four years, which would be
the cattle barns to send children to college, He's going
to drop dramatically and you could see a very significant
percentage of high school students who aren't going to be
(22:40):
there because of abortion and other factors, and they're not
going to be able to go to colleges. We have.
Most colleges and universities today are seeing a decline in
their population of their student body. Part of that is
driven because three hundred thousand are going to Europe and
other places because it's cheaper and it's safer than it
(23:01):
did American universities. But three hundred thousand just boom went away,
and that student body came out of the student body
of what was going to go either going to go
to college, and now we're going to have this population
smash where we're going to have a lot less people.
I was talking to a young man yesterday and he's
(23:23):
in he's a senior in high school, and I said,
you go to go to college. He says, you know,
I'm thinking about going to a trade school. I said why,
he said, because everything I read is that you take
six years to get a four year degree. The college
is stacked the program against getting it in four years.
Almost impossible to get the classes you want and need
to get out in four years, to get six years
(23:46):
with the college debt and the job prospects depending on
what you're doing are not great. But from what I
can tell is what he's saying, trade schools seem to
be growing rapidly and it looks like you can make
a decent living working in a trade I said, yes,
(24:07):
now that can you get a disegliving. You can afford
to buy a house, a car, get married and have kids, yeah,
and have no college debt. So this past weekend was
a weekend of numbers, well just thinking about a lot
of things.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, well good numbers too. I mean again, I like
the fact that kids are thinking about trade schools now
instead of burying themselves in debt for what I mean,
there's a few things for five years, yeah things. There's
a few things worth going to college for, but there's
a lot that aren't.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Yeah. And the President's new student loan repayments system is
in order to get any amount of forgiveness, you have
to make payments for twenty five years. So if you
graduate at twenty one, you're looking at forty six to
fifty years of age before you had to get to
the point where you could get the rest of your
student loan if you make the payment for all those times,
(25:07):
get get paid off. And that's that's and the people
who thought they were going to get there was a
huge mistake, and the Democrats let it, let it happen
under under Biden when they talked about loan forgiveness people,
they let people young people think that they were going
to get money back, and there was no never They
never have any money back on the table under the
(25:29):
Biden forgiveness. But they all, I think they got sold
this idea that they were going to be out of
debt and somebody else is going to have to pay
for their college. And none of those things passed, and
they didn't get through Congress and they didn't get through
the Supreme Court. So he didn't do anything. And now
Trump's doing something, and the kids are saying, well, wait
a minute, what do you mean we thought we were
promised it was going to get paid off right away. No,
(25:51):
you were, You might you might thought you were promised,
but it wasn't there. So it's it's it's it's an
amazing thing. And and the King the more Kings protests
were quote mostly mostly peaceful.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Well, yeah, these old farts are too old to really
be getting their gander up too much anymore. You know,
it's enough for them just to be able to hold
the sign up for about ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
You know that's true.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
All right, sir, all right, it's Dan Perkins. Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for Dan and check out his website.
Janperkinsmedia dot org. Dan Perkinsmedia dot org. Thank you, my friend,
and we'll talk to you again very soon.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
You bet take care.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I know a lot of you are already on my side.
And for you naysa is I have two strong words
for you.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Gam on.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Damin Okay, I'm gonnake.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Sure, all right, we'll be right back with Charlotte County
Speaks on news radio fifteen eighty WCCs.
Speaker 7 (26:58):
So I guess they're gonna try to banned congressional stock trading. Okay,
it's going to include the president the vice president.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
This has been going on.
Speaker 7 (27:07):
Now, I gotta say maybe what fifteen years plus.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Peter Schweizer wrote a book on this.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
Back in the day they passed some legislation and then oh,
all's well, and there's a million loopholes that were put in.
It was so bad back in the day that it
was actually legal for Congressional aids to place stock trades
based upon the information they were getting.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Again, it's past the Senate. They're now getting it to
the House. But you know where we're at now, right guys,
it's you know, clock is ticking here. It's almost August,
and everybody will disappear. So I'm starting to think, and again,
I know I'm a bit of a cynic when it
comes to these people in Washington, DC. Rightfully, so I
don't see anything happening. Watchdog on Wall Street dot Com.

Joe Satriani surfing with the alien.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
That's what I was.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
A couple of stories here showing uh, just how bad
London has become and why they need to be Uh, yeah,
we don't need to protect them anymore. I don't these
guys they're going They're going over the cliff. The UK
is just going over the cliff. A Jewish lawyer was
(29:18):
arrested at a demonstration outside of an Israeli embassy in
London for wearing a Star of David necklace, and it
offended some of the muzzy protesters. Footage of his interrogation
(29:42):
obtained by the Daily Telegraph reportedly documents officers questioning the
man about his political beliefs and suggesting that he was
antagonizing the protesters just for wearing a Star of David necklace.
Detective is quoted asking if he was quote stoking the
fire with these pro Palestinian protesters, before specifically referencing the
(30:05):
lawyer's Star of David necklace quote. It's not to discriminate.
I want to have that on record. I'm not asking
that question to cause you any offense. However, if we
had proceeded with my line of questioning, the officers have
noted in their statements that they believed because the Star
of David was out and present to people, they felt
that was antagonizing the situation. Further, You're going to incite
(30:33):
these angry Muslim protesters that are protesting out front of
the Israeli embassy. You're going to antagonize him with that
Star David necklace. However, he denied that the actually the
police denied that the lawyer was arrested for wearing a
Star of David, but rather for allegedly quote repeatedly breaching
(30:57):
a police order to keep distance from the pro Palace
Annian demonstrators. The lawyer claimed to have been acting as
legal adviser at the time of his arrest, claimed that
it represented one of the clearest examples of two tiered
policing you will ever find. Police are arguing that wearing
a Star of David is antagonizing protesters. While we have
(31:17):
seen all manner of anti Semitic slogans on placards and
shouted at Jews that have gone unpunished. It's gone to
where the illegal aliens in the UK are treated better
than the citizens. Sound familiar. Here's another one. Spanish priest
(31:43):
is facing years in prison for a comment that offended muzzies.
If you pay any attention to American ideological discourse, you've
no doubt heard the one about Christian nationalism. It's the
big boogeyman Apparently US Christians are trying to take over
the world politically, culturally, and spiritually, as if that's a
(32:06):
bad thing. But Islam is the one who's actually doing it.
If you're paying any attention at all, we've been in
a religious war with him since about six seventy AD.
For anybody paying attention, you've seen this. Father Custodio Balister,
(32:26):
Catholic priest in Spain, is facing the possibility of prison
time on charges of Islamophobia. Three years in prison. The
big crime. He answered a question about the possibility of
an interfaith dialogue between Christians and Muslims, and this happened
(32:49):
in twenty sixteen, mind you, full decade ago, But now
we're just getting the sentencing. Apparently, the quote the renew
revival of Christian Muslim dialogue paralyzed by the alleged imprudence
of the Blood Benedict is far from a reality. Balister
wrote in a letter responding to the question quote, Islam
(33:11):
does not allow for dialogue. You either believe or you
are an infidel who must be subdued one way or another. Well,
that's true. I don't even give a damn if it
offends a Muslim or not. It's true. The Christian Broadcasting
Network added in twenty seventeen a YouTube video. Balister expanded
(33:31):
on his twenty sixteen remarks, warning that Islam not only
poses a threat in Europe, but also that in many
Muslim majority countries Christians face persecution because they do. They're
wiping them out in Africa as we speak. So despite
the route, who's fairly accurate the description of Islamic culture.
(33:56):
It's true what he said. Apparently Balister incensed the Association
of Spanish Muslims against Islamophobia by telling the truth about Islam.
Apparently you're not supposed to tell the truth about Islam
in Spain. So the association responded to those remarks before
filing a complaint that would ultimately lead to charges against
(34:19):
father Balister, a fellow priest, and another journalist. Trial was
held October first. Again. He made these remarks in twenty sixteen,
twenty seventeen, and Balister's currently awaiting a verdict if he
does face those potential three years in prison. He's already
said he plans on appealing with his lawyer to the
European Court of Human Rights, but he said the struggle
(34:43):
is far more than himself quote. The survival of freedom
of expression in today's Spain depends on the ruling in
this case. Otherwise will be headed towards a new Cuban dictatorship,
one where you are arrested for what you said as
well as for what you thought if it differed from
what the Cuban communist dictator Fidel Castro decided, or in
(35:05):
this case, the local i'mum the local Muslim Cleric Catholic
outlet also noted that doing no small part to his
military background, Ballister is demonstrating a remarkable calm about his
monumental case. Quote in the Spanish Army Special Forces, we Wow.
Father was a former Spanish Spanish Army speck up. He said,
(35:27):
prepare for the worst. The easy stuff has already been
planned for. That's why I'm calm. If everything goes well,
I'll even be happier. We'll say prayer for the father
and for free speech. Hello, everybody, this is Montecoy. He's

(38:11):
five random random, random? Random? Okay, what do we have here?
Number one of your five random facts. Frozen foods will
never expire at zero degrees fahrenheit or lower. However, the
(38:33):
flavor and texture can degrade over time. The tempt can't
rise above zero, so don't hold the door open and
for taste. Keep everything properly packed to avoid the freezer burn. Okay.
Number two. A caterpillar called the tobacco hornworm uses its
(38:54):
bad breath to scare off predators. It eats tobacco leaves
that causes its bad smoker's breath. Okay. Number three. There
is no copyright or patent protection on magic tricks. If
a magician invents a trick, anyone's free to use it.
You just have to figure out how it's done. But
(39:16):
there's an unwritten code, so most magicians refuse to use
other magicians' tricks, unlike comedy. Number four. A study in
two thy twelve found that there had been more than
two hundred academic papers published on Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
(39:37):
which easily made it the most studied TV show or movie.
The Alien Movies were second, with around ninety papers. Academic
papers on a fictional TV show number five of your
five random facts. Starting in the Earth nineteen eighties, pieces
(40:01):
of telephones shaped like Garfield the Cat washed up on
beaches in northwest France and nobody knew why. Well, in
twenty nineteen, a farmer finally found a wrecked shipping container
in a cave that was spilling out the phones, and
there's your five ran in times. Whole shipping container sold
(40:28):
him on eBay, made a bank. Yes, we do have
some good news. There are some good news stories out there.
Here's one of them. A girls volleyball team in Dallas,
Texas bought their high school janitor a new car. That
was pretty nice of him, Not just that, they found
(40:50):
out he was getting rides to work to and from
school every day, so they launched a GoFundMe and surprised
him with a brand new Ford SUV. Pretty cool good
news story there. A mom in California bought an old
Scream mask at Goodwill. I got one of those. Well,
(41:11):
she found out that it was worth a lot more
than she paid for it. Those apparently those ghost face
masks actually pre date the movie Scream, and they came
out for about five years before Scream hit the theaters. Well,
it turns out the mask she bought was from the
first production run in nineteen ninety one. She paid five
bucks for it. She just sold it on eBay eight
(41:34):
hundred and fifty six dollars. It's pretty good. Pretty good.
How does this work for a perk too? Grandmother in
North Carolina? Norah Huntley is a grandmother in North Carolina,
and she works at a gas station forty miles east
(41:56):
of Charlotte. And she was on break when she decided
to buy a lottery ticket. Well, that lottery ticket hit
for two hundred thous and dollars. She showed up at
lottery headquarters last Wednesday to cash it in. She told
an official the money was really going to come in handy. Yeah,

Oh yeah, don't don't share that. Shut up. The best

after putting down a fake one thousand dollar bill. So
now restaurants are putting cameras up throughout the dining rooms

the time on Ken Lovejoy and on the phone with
me is none other than Dan Perkins. Dan, how you doing, sir?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I'm fine?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Thank you and yourself good good? What's going on in
Dan's world?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Well? I was thinking about a lot of things over
the weekend, and uh, I have numbers I want to
share with you and your audience. This morning, gold was
up one hundred and twenty seven dollars announced at almost
four four hundred dollars. Simarily, the yield on the ten
(01:42):
year treasury broke four percent. Why are those two facts related.
Most of the gold that's bought in quantity in the
world is bought on leverage, meaning you borrow money to
buy more gold. And so as that price of borrowing
the money went up, the price of gold started to decline.
(02:07):
But when the market started bringing interest rates down, the
value of gold went up. And now we're under four percent.
So I would expect to see a continue increase in
the price of gold. I think the fees got to
cut at least one percent out of the cost of funds.
(02:28):
And so watch gold and watch the yield on the
ten year and you'll see another analogy, and that is
the price of crude oil. Price of crude oil this
morning hit a twelve month low at around fifty six
dollars and twenty five cents. That's been a big drop
(02:48):
over the last two weeks. Fifty six dollars. We're going
to see continued decline in prices at the pump, and again,
the cost of money to get the fuel is an
impact on the price of the fuel. So what we're
seeing is that Donald Trump is putting pressure on the
(03:08):
Fed and the market likes that. So the market is
ahead of the Fed in lowering interest rates, and as
a result, we're going to see the cost of money
come down, which means that houses could be bought, cars
could be bought, people could go out to dinner, they
could go on vacations, and things are going to change.
(03:29):
It might even be a refinancing of mortgages. It have
to go a long way to get there, but it's
certainly within their own possibility. So all the things that
mister Trump is doing is by the numbers. He's looking
at the numbers and saying, you know what's going to
happen here. So watch gold, watch the eel on the
ten year treasury, Watch the price of crude oil, and
(03:49):
which you'll see. As the price of crude oil comes down,
you're going to see a continuing decline in the inflation
rate in this country, which is one of the things
if you promise. So things are looking very positive and
the numbers support that positive outlook. Okay. Now, the other
(04:12):
thing that I've got kind of an analogy of two
unlike things that actually are similar. I want to talk
to you about Lendavi's idea of creating government owned supermarkets
in New York Okay, yeah, and the price of the
(04:34):
Affordable Care Act that they've got Congress shut down pricing
in both cases. In both cases, the government has to
put up your money to make the product or the
service affordable, which means that the government is going to
have to subsidize these markets in New York City in
(04:57):
order to try and bring prices down. But that means
that the taxpayers who are not shopping at the more
at that market are paying for the decreasing in price
of the markets because they're raising their taxes or they're
taking their tax dollars to spend to buy the food
for the markets. Now, Kansas City, Kansas City was one
(05:18):
of the first cities in the country a while ago
to establish a government market, and they closed it down
because they lost twenty million dollars. Oh yeah, because you know,
couldn't figure out how.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
If governments subsidizing it, you know, the costs are going
to keep going up for the government to subsidize.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yes, yes, and that means more tax dollars have to
be spent to produce the same benefit. It's the same
thing that's happening.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It's like the transportationment. I'm sorry, it's like public transportation.
It always it will always cost more and more and more.
It will never prices will never line, So the taxpayer
is always going to be getting jacked for more and
more taxation to pay for the subsidies.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's exactly where I was headed. And so that the
idea here is that the Affordable Care Act isn't affordable
because the government has to increasingly subsidize the premium because
on the free market standpoint, the products couldn't survive the
free market pricing of the Affordable Care Act, nobody could
(06:30):
afford to buy it. And so we have government legislation,
the Affordable Care Act, which was supposed to save us money.
And let's keep our doctor on all those wonderful things
at Obama Cross, none of them which came through. But
what's happening is the Democrats have got the government shut
down because they want a trillion and a half to
(06:52):
go into subsidy for Affordable Care Act. So that illegals
and other people can get affordable health care. Well, that's misleading,
because affordable healthcare is what the Democrats are defining as
affordable health care, and that is the Affordable Care Act.
(07:15):
And so that they know that the prices because there's
less and less competition, are going up enough and enough,
so they need more money to continue to subsidize the
American consumer who could never afford to pay the actual
market price of the Affordable Care Act insurance, so that
the government needs to put up more and more money.
(07:35):
And exactly what you were talking about. So the government
has to put up money in order for the markets
to be opened, or the subways to be free, or
colleges and universities be free. But there's still expenses that
are going on that have to be paid, and the
taxpayer is paying it through increased taxes, not efficiency in
(07:56):
the marketplace. And so the similarity between what Bundabi wants
to do in New York and the Affordable Care Rack,
which is holding a Congress hostage is the fact that
the Democrats want to keep these programs in place, but
realize they have to use tax dollars because in the
free market society, they couldn't survive because they couldn't compete
(08:20):
in the open marketplace.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Now, Mondami, I mean, he's got to know that his
plan isn't going to work. Is this just a do
you think this is just a campaign tactic? Or does
he actually plan on going through with this because there's
just way too much evidence to show his plan is
stupid and won't work because it always fails.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
That's a that's a great question, and I appolugi you
for that question. But the reality is New York is
a different world and it's it's been dominated by Democrats
liberal democrats, and that he will he will probably be elected,
although there's there's some rumblings about maybe his support is
(09:09):
beginning to falter as people again focusing an election that's
two and a half weeks away. That how realistic it
is the things that he can accomplish. So if they
go to bring him in and he can't do any
of the things he talked about, then why should we
bring him in? But that's that's that's a topic for
another show. My point is that we've we've it doesn't
(09:31):
make any difference to him whether it fails or not
or gets implemented. It is the story that he's usually
using to attract voters to change the paradigm in New
York City to elect a Communist for the mayor of
New York City. And he doesn't care whether the New
Yorkers really understand or believe what he wants to do
(09:53):
or not. It doesn't make any difference. He wants to
get in. He's going to try to put these things
in place, and he'll have a city council who will
support him. But the question becomes, how long will it
be before he starts dealing with the police force and
getting ready police officers and using eminent domain to take
(10:16):
people's houses and contamitiums and tournam into homeless shelters and
all this stuff, and the grocery stores and subways and
all these things start to happen, you're going to see,
in my opinion, a greater exodus of people. We now
know that the major all the major money center banks
that are in New York have already set up and
(10:37):
been running and testing. Uh there are operations in other
parts of the country. City Bank has got an operation
in Texas that could they could literally swall to throw
the switch in a minute and move everything from New
York to Texas to run and not skip a beat.
The New York Stock Exchange already has it had to
use during the pandemic remote processing to process trends, so
(11:01):
they're ready to go. So I would expect to see that.
If he gets in and he starts rattling the saber
about the things he's going to do, and he starts
proposing stuff, you're going to see an acceleration of people
wanting to leave New York to go some other place.
And unfortunately for us, it's going to be. Florida is
one of those places. Yea, Now, I gotta tell.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You, they just go to Jersey. Jersey's closer, Jersey. It's
right over the bridge. Come on.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, Well, there are there are some banks who have
set up remote processing operations in Jersey City and have
run them and tested them. But City Bank and other
major banks are moving way out of it, out of
the New York metropolitan in the Carolinas, Texas, and Florida.
But what's important to understand is I think that again,
(11:52):
speaking of numbers, Okay, most of the stuff that I
have read about online and in the local press about
Fort Fort Myers area, including Cape Coral that Cape Coral
is the worst performing real estate market in the country.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
And I was out yesterday and the day before, driving
around and about in a Cape Coral. I can't tell
you the number of houses that I saw being built.
I saw places in various sections of Cape Coral where four, six,
or eight houses in a row are being built new,
the new construction, the wall.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
But I've read that too, that it's not Cape Coral
Fort Myers, our area here in Sarasota, Venice, that housing
markets are down. But you're right, everybody's building, so I
don't know what's going on.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I suspect that they may be anticipating the move from
New York.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah. Yeah, but the articles that now don't move here.
We're full.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
But when you drive around as I did, and you
see over Cape Coral huge acreage of undeveloped plan, I mean,
it's this enormous amount.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Of Yeah, but Cape Coral's got Cape Coral's got infrastructure
problems big time.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Yes. Yes, So now I want to talk about another
set of numbers. I was looking at transgender and I
did a show last week on at it with my
mom's and and so let me give you the numbers
that I have. At the moment. According to Rutgers University,
(13:46):
less than one percent of the population of the United
States between the ages of thirteen and seventeen identify as transgender.
One percent.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah right, and it's going down too.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yes, I actually peaked in twenty nineteen and here we
are twenty twenty five. Last year, of course, again, according
to this study, we had twelve thousand transgender surgeries primarily
girls to boys, which was the and the major is
radical mess aactomies. Now twelve thousand out of two point
(14:27):
eight million, and two point eight million is one percent
of the age group then, and you're talking about twelve
thousand surgeries? Am I missing something? But it's just like,
why are we even talking about it?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Well, because again the left us.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Is why are the Democrats continuing to talk about transgender
and the rights of transgender people to participate males to
participate in female sports. Why are they still doing that
when the market that they could appeal to, the largest
market is two point eight million between the ages of
(15:05):
thirteen and seventeen, and none of them can vote. Now, yeah,
they have to grow older. So what what am I
missing here? Boss?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I think they were just sold on it. I mean,
the whole thing was a ruse to begin with. They
needed a new group to exploit, and transgenders seemed to
be it, but it didn't work. And and it was
also about gas lighting the rest of us too, getting
us to go in on the big lie that a
(15:36):
man can become a woman woman me. You can't question
it all will cancel your ass. You can't, you can't
question a thing, And so that was part of it.
It was part about gas lighting and syoping us as
well as exploiting this group of people for their own uses.
And now that you start seeing the they peaked and
(15:58):
people aren't you know, I think I think they peaked
during the Rona, and then coming out of that, everybody's
mental health started getting better. They're hanging around people and
doing things, participating in life, and it's dropping precipitously, and
I'm glad to see that it's dropping. And I can't
explain why the Left wants to still hang on to
(16:21):
this other than the fact that you know, they've bought
into the lies so big that they can't reject it
now they have to. It's like with the Trump derangement syndrome.
They're so sold on it now at this point from
brainwashing themselves and everybody else, they can't let go of it.
And I think that transgenderism has a lot to do
with it. Plus, you got a lot of doctors out
(16:42):
there now who've been who are butchers, and they're going
to try going to be trying to justify it as well,
else they lose their license like they should and be
publicly humiliated like they should.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
We've had several research groups have been looking at the
application forms for students coming into colleges in the freshman
year in this past September, and most of the applications
have about seven different or eight different categories. You can
say you are male, female, and the rest of the world. However,
(17:18):
what what the what the surveys are showing is that
the number of people who identified something other than male
or female is falling like a rock in the people
who are enrolling in colleges. Good, But I want to
take I want to. I know you're a lot younger
than I am, so you may not pardon me.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yes, I am as.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
You are, but I want to. I want to take
you back in time and see if you remember this story,
because this story fits with what you just talked about.
Do you remember the city of Gloucester, Massachusetts in the
Lakes when seventeen high school students girls all decided to
(18:05):
get pregnant and go to school, wear their maternity dresses
and form a club and they were going to raise
the children in the community of the seventeen and the
media was saying that it was spreading like wildfire all
over the country. Do you remember that story or not?
I do not, Okay, that's okay. So the reason why
(18:28):
I bring that story up is that it was the
mainstream media who I mean, Time Magazine, New York Times,
Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, all the networks were hyping
the seventeen girls as a fundamental shift in our economy
in America, that we're going to see pregnancy all over
(18:49):
the country and these clubs are going to be formed.
Never happened, but the media beat it to death, just like.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't remember that. I remember that, And it would
be weird for the media to beat something like that
to death because they love abortions so much, yet they
were trying to get all these girls to get knocked up.
I don't understand that.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Dan, I don't either, But I'm just telling you I
know that's what happened. They hyped it for days and
days and days and expected an explosion of pregnancy circles.
Never happened.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So how come that story didn't work but the transgender
story did work? Is that what you're implying here?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
No, I'm saying. I'm saying that when the media got
behind the transgender story and hiked it so hard, they
killed it. And that's why it started dropping in twenty
nineteen and is at the point today now where colleges
and universities are saying that dramatically less people are applying
under some kind of alternative to mail or female, so
(19:52):
the transgender movement, and so that's the situation that Democrats
have put themselves in a whole and using abusing Title
nine to have male male people participate in female sports
and in the locker rooms and all that stuff that
(20:13):
still still made no sense to me at all as
a viable strategy. But for somehow they got on the
horse and decided to ride it, and they're still trying
to ride it, and the American people are saying it
absolutely not. Now. Last set of numbers we in this
country perform approximately one million abortions abortions a year. And
(20:41):
according to the World Health this is gonna, I believe
will shock you. According to the World Health Organization, last
year across the world, seventy three million abortions were performed.
Damn really, that's equal No wait a minute, let me
(21:02):
let me put in context. That's equal to the entire
population of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales wiped out in
one year. Man, seventy three million. Now they're they're they're saying, well,
we've got eight billion people, so seventy three million is
(21:25):
not a big number. Seventy three mountain million is.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
A huge huge It's an insane k.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Yes, and and we've we and I've I found it,
but I've never seen it anywhere else publicized in the
American media ever. A million is bad enough, but seventy
three million, it's just it's just a situation where and
(21:54):
we wonder we have people who Again, I think that
part of the problem with some people, Democrats and or
Republicans who support abortion, do not understand what the long
term ramifications will be if the population continues to decline.
For example, going back to the colleges, the Department of
(22:20):
Education has run a study looking at the population of
high schools over the next four years, which would be
the cattle barns to send children to college, He's going
to drop dramatically and you could see a very significant
percentage of high school students who aren't going to be
(22:40):
there because of abortion and other factors, and they're not
going to be able to go to colleges. We have.
Most colleges and universities today are seeing a decline in
their population of their student body. Part of that is
driven because three hundred thousand are going to Europe and
other places because it's cheaper and it's safer than it
(23:01):
did American universities. But three hundred thousand just boom went away,
and that student body came out of the student body
of what was going to go either going to go
to college, and now we're going to have this population
smash where we're going to have a lot less people.
I was talking to a young man yesterday and he's
(23:23):
in he's a senior in high school, and I said,
you go to go to college. He says, you know,
I'm thinking about going to a trade school. I said why,
he said, because everything I read is that you take
six years to get a four year degree. The college
is stacked the program against getting it in four years.
Almost impossible to get the classes you want and need
to get out in four years, to get six years
(23:46):
with the college debt and the job prospects depending on
what you're doing are not great. But from what I
can tell is what he's saying, trade schools seem to
be growing rapidly and it looks like you can make
a decent living working in a trade I said, yes,
(24:07):
now that can you get a disegliving. You can afford
to buy a house, a car, get married and have kids, yeah,
and have no college debt. So this past weekend was
a weekend of numbers, well just thinking about a lot
of things.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, well good numbers too. I mean again, I like
the fact that kids are thinking about trade schools now
instead of burying themselves in debt for what I mean,
there's a few things for five years, yeah things. There's
a few things worth going to college for, but there's
a lot that aren't.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Yeah. And the President's new student loan repayments system is
in order to get any amount of forgiveness, you have
to make payments for twenty five years. So if you
graduate at twenty one, you're looking at forty six to
fifty years of age before you had to get to
the point where you could get the rest of your
student loan if you make the payment for all those times,
(25:07):
get get paid off. And that's that's and the people
who thought they were going to get there was a
huge mistake, and the Democrats let it, let it happen
under under Biden when they talked about loan forgiveness people,
they let people young people think that they were going
to get money back, and there was no never They
never have any money back on the table under the
(25:29):
Biden forgiveness. But they all, I think they got sold
this idea that they were going to be out of
debt and somebody else is going to have to pay
for their college. And none of those things passed, and
they didn't get through Congress and they didn't get through
the Supreme Court. So he didn't do anything. And now
Trump's doing something, and the kids are saying, well, wait
a minute, what do you mean we thought we were
promised it was going to get paid off right away. No,
(25:51):
you were, You might you might thought you were promised,
but it wasn't there. So it's it's it's it's an
amazing thing. And and the King the more Kings protests
were quote mostly mostly peaceful.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Well, yeah, these old farts are too old to really
be getting their gander up too much anymore. You know,
it's enough for them just to be able to hold
the sign up for about ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
You know that's true.
Speaker 2 (26:21):

give it up for Dan and check out his website.

Speaker 7 (26:58):
So I guess they're gonna try to banned congressional stock trading. Okay,
it's going to include the president the vice president.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
This has been going on.
Speaker 7 (27:07):
Now, I gotta say maybe what fifteen years plus.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Peter Schweizer wrote a book on this.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
Back in the day they passed some legislation and then oh,
all's well, and there's a million loopholes that were put in.
It was so bad back in the day that it
was actually legal for Congressional aids to place stock trades
based upon the information they were getting.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Again, it's past the Senate. They're now getting it to
the House. But you know where we're at now, right guys,
it's you know, clock is ticking here. It's almost August,
and everybody will disappear. So I'm starting to think, and again,
I know I'm a bit of a cynic when it
comes to these people in Washington, DC. Rightfully, so I
don't see anything happening. Watchdog on Wall Street dot Com.

Joe Satriani surfing with the alien.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
That's what I was.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
A couple of stories here showing uh, just how bad
London has become and why they need to be Uh, yeah,
we don't need to protect them anymore. I don't these
guys they're going They're going over the cliff. The UK
is just going over the cliff. A Jewish lawyer was
(29:18):
arrested at a demonstration outside of an Israeli embassy in
London for wearing a Star of David necklace, and it
offended some of the muzzy protesters. Footage of his interrogation
(29:42):
obtained by the Daily Telegraph reportedly documents officers questioning the
man about his political beliefs and suggesting that he was
antagonizing the protesters just for wearing a Star of David necklace.
Detective is quoted asking if he was quote stoking the
fire with these pro Palestinian protesters, before specifically referencing the
(30:05):
lawyer's Star of David necklace quote. It's not to discriminate.
I want to have that on record. I'm not asking
that question to cause you any offense. However, if we
had proceeded with my line of questioning, the officers have
noted in their statements that they believed because the Star
of David was out and present to people, they felt
that was antagonizing the situation. Further, You're going to incite
(30:33):
these angry Muslim protesters that are protesting out front of
the Israeli embassy. You're going to antagonize him with that
Star David necklace. However, he denied that the actually the
police denied that the lawyer was arrested for wearing a
Star of David, but rather for allegedly quote repeatedly breaching
(30:57):
a police order to keep distance from the pro Palace
Annian demonstrators. The lawyer claimed to have been acting as
legal adviser at the time of his arrest, claimed that
it represented one of the clearest examples of two tiered
policing you will ever find. Police are arguing that wearing
a Star of David is antagonizing protesters. While we have
(31:17):
seen all manner of anti Semitic slogans on placards and
shouted at Jews that have gone unpunished. It's gone to
where the illegal aliens in the UK are treated better
than the citizens. Sound familiar. Here's another one. Spanish priest
(31:43):
is facing years in prison for a comment that offended muzzies.
If you pay any attention to American ideological discourse, you've
no doubt heard the one about Christian nationalism. It's the
big boogeyman Apparently US Christians are trying to take over
the world politically, culturally, and spiritually, as if that's a
(32:06):
bad thing. But Islam is the one who's actually doing it.
If you're paying any attention at all, we've been in
a religious war with him since about six seventy AD.
For anybody paying attention, you've seen this. Father Custodio Balister,
(32:26):
Catholic priest in Spain, is facing the possibility of prison
time on charges of Islamophobia. Three years in prison. The
big crime. He answered a question about the possibility of
an interfaith dialogue between Christians and Muslims, and this happened
(32:49):
in twenty sixteen, mind you, full decade ago, But now
we're just getting the sentencing. Apparently, the quote the renew
revival of Christian Muslim dialogue paralyzed by the alleged imprudence
of the Blood Benedict is far from a reality. Balister
wrote in a letter responding to the question quote, Islam
(33:11):
does not allow for dialogue. You either believe or you
are an infidel who must be subdued one way or another. Well,
that's true. I don't even give a damn if it
offends a Muslim or not. It's true. The Christian Broadcasting
Network added in twenty seventeen a YouTube video. Balister expanded
(33:31):
on his twenty sixteen remarks, warning that Islam not only
poses a threat in Europe, but also that in many
Muslim majority countries Christians face persecution because they do. They're
wiping them out in Africa as we speak. So despite
the route, who's fairly accurate the description of Islamic culture.
(33:56):
It's true what he said. Apparently Balister incensed the Association
of Spanish Muslims against Islamophobia by telling the truth about Islam.
Apparently you're not supposed to tell the truth about Islam
in Spain. So the association responded to those remarks before
filing a complaint that would ultimately lead to charges against
(34:19):
father Balister, a fellow priest, and another journalist. Trial was
held October first. Again. He made these remarks in twenty sixteen,
twenty seventeen, and Balister's currently awaiting a verdict if he
does face those potential three years in prison. He's already
said he plans on appealing with his lawyer to the
European Court of Human Rights, but he said the struggle
(34:43):
is far more than himself quote. The survival of freedom
of expression in today's Spain depends on the ruling in
this case. Otherwise will be headed towards a new Cuban dictatorship,
one where you are arrested for what you said as
well as for what you thought if it differed from
what the Cuban communist dictator Fidel Castro decided, or in
(35:05):
this case, the local i'mum the local Muslim Cleric Catholic
outlet also noted that doing no small part to his
military background, Ballister is demonstrating a remarkable calm about his
monumental case. Quote in the Spanish Army Special Forces, we Wow.
Father was a former Spanish Spanish Army speck up. He said,
(35:27):
prepare for the worst. The easy stuff has already been
planned for. That's why I'm calm. If everything goes well,
I'll even be happier. We'll say prayer for the father
and for free speech. Hello, everybody, this is Montecoy. He's

She used to do stuff like take the lemp from
the dryer trap balled up into a ball and put
sugar on it.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
You already know.

She would give it to me and my sister and

(38:11):
five random random, random? Random? Okay, what do we have here?
Number one of your five random facts. Frozen foods will
never expire at zero degrees fahrenheit or lower. However, the
(38:33):
flavor and texture can degrade over time. The tempt can't
rise above zero, so don't hold the door open and
for taste. Keep everything properly packed to avoid the freezer burn. Okay.
Number two. A caterpillar called the tobacco hornworm uses its
(38:54):
bad breath to scare off predators. It eats tobacco leaves
that causes its bad smoker's breath. Okay. Number three. There
is no copyright or patent protection on magic tricks. If
a magician invents a trick, anyone's free to use it.
You just have to figure out how it's done. But
(39:16):
there's an unwritten code, so most magicians refuse to use
other magicians' tricks, unlike comedy. Number four. A study in
two thy twelve found that there had been more than
two hundred academic papers published on Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
(39:37):
which easily made it the most studied TV show or movie.
The Alien Movies were second, with around ninety papers. Academic
papers on a fictional TV show number five of your
five random facts. Starting in the Earth nineteen eighties, pieces
(40:01):
of telephones shaped like Garfield the Cat washed up on
beaches in northwest France and nobody knew why. Well, in
twenty nineteen, a farmer finally found a wrecked shipping container
in a cave that was spilling out the phones, and
there's your five ran in times. Whole shipping container sold
(40:28):
him on eBay, made a bank. Yes, we do have
some good news. There are some good news stories out there.
Here's one of them. A girls volleyball team in Dallas,
Texas bought their high school janitor a new car. That
was pretty nice of him, Not just that, they found
(40:50):
out he was getting rides to work to and from
school every day, so they launched a GoFundMe and surprised
him with a brand new Ford SUV. Pretty cool good
news story there. A mom in California bought an old
Scream mask at Goodwill. I got one of those. Well,
(41:11):
she found out that it was worth a lot more
than she paid for it. Those apparently those ghost face
masks actually pre date the movie Scream, and they came
out for about five years before Scream hit the theaters. Well,
it turns out the mask she bought was from the
first production run in nineteen ninety one. She paid five
bucks for it. She just sold it on eBay eight
(41:34):
hundred and fifty six dollars. It's pretty good. Pretty good.
How does this work for a perk too? Grandmother in
North Carolina? Norah Huntley is a grandmother in North Carolina,
and she works at a gas station forty miles east
(41:56):
of Charlotte. And she was on break when she decided
to buy a lottery ticket. Well, that lottery ticket hit
for two hundred thous and dollars. She showed up at
lottery headquarters last Wednesday to cash it in. She told
an official the money was really going to come in handy. Yeah,
(42:16):
I'll bet it would. Two hundred thousand dollars out of

Oh yeah, don't don't share that. Shut up. The best
US city for single people is apparently Saint Louis, Missouri. Sorry,
(43:28):
but that's all you got single folks out there. More
and more restaurant diners are also leaving dining and dashing too.
Not cool, not cool at all these days. Might even
you might even take lead to the buttocks for doing that.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Well, you know people are they got short tempers these days.
Dine and dash you could get shot depending on the
city you're in. I'm just saying be safe, pay for
your meal and including an incident where somebody skipped out
after putting down a fake one thousand dollar bill. So
now restaurants are putting cameras up throughout the dining rooms
(44:07):

don't pay online in time. Yeah, and arrest them too
for dining and dashing.

Artsy Won. They used a crane to smash an upper
upstairs window. They stole eight priceless objects from an area

on motorbikes. Yeah, it does it sound like a movie.
And they got away with it too, so you know
it should be a movie. Probably will be now. I mean,
