Two entertainment legends left us on the same day, each leaving behind an extraordinary legacy that shaped American culture in profound ways.

Robert Redford, Hollywood's golden boy who died at 89, wasn't just the handsome leading man who made hearts flutter in classics like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." He revolutionized filmmaking through his founding of the Sundance Film Institute, creating a platform for independent cinema that forever changed how stories reach audiences. His Oscar-winning direction of "Ordinary People" (which controversially beat "Raging Bull") showcased his commitment to meaningful storytelling over commercial appeal. Redford's environmental activism and anti-establishment approach allowed him to use his celebrity to advance creative agendas while subverting Hollywood norms.

Simultaneously, we lost Bobby Hart at 86, the songwriting genius behind hits that defined generations. Working alongside Tommy Boyce, Hart crafted the soundtrack to the 1960s through unforgettable Monkees songs including their theme song, "Last Train to Clarksville," and "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone." Mickey Dolenz remembered him as "the stillness in the eye of the hurricane" during the band's meteoric rise. Hart's talents extended beyond the Monkees, writing "Hurt So Bad" for Little Anthony and the Imperials and "Come a Little Bit Closer" for Jay and the Americans – songs that still resonate decades later.

We also explore a powerful perspective on the Charlie Kirk shooting from the LFR family, discussing race, opportunity, and victimhood mentality in America. Their commentary provides thought-provoking insights on personal responsibility and overcoming obstacles.

Join us as we pay tribute to these cultural giants and explore how their work continues to influence our world today. Subscribe to hear more conversations about the legends who shape our culture and the discussions that matter in today's America.

It was warm yesterday, like inthe 90s.
Anyhow, I think that's where wecan expect.
Today is another day in the 90sand then, as I understand,

By the way, my name is PatWalsh.
I'm also the host of the PatWalsh Radio Show.
It's the Pat Walsh Show asheard on KFBK Radio in

(01:43):
Sacramento, 93.1 FM, 1530 AM,and we stream live everywhere,
just like my podcast.
Tonight, when I go in, I'm goingto talk about the loss of
Robert Redford, who passed awayat the age of 89.
I always liked that guy.
I mean, if you know me, I'm nota huge movie guy, but there are

(02:04):
movies that I like and when Isee them I'll always remember
them, because for me they're fewand far between.
Robert Redford had some greatmovies and I respected the way
he treated filmmaking.
He didn't appreciate some ofthe Hollywood style of making
over-budget films and things.
He was responsible.
I believe he was the founder,obviously, of the Sundance Film

(02:26):
Festival and he has died, like Isay, at 89 years old.
What a handsome guy this guy.
All the ladies loved him.
He was always the talk like asone of the top hunks of
Hollywood that the women alwaysloved this guy, the top sex
symbol in the 70s, certainly,and into the 80s, the leading

(02:47):
man.
He was like the golden boy.
He won an Oscar for directing agreat movie Ordinary People.
Now, wait a minute.
Didn't Ordinary People beat outa movie I liked?
Now, I'm curious about that.
I need to Google that.
I think Ordinary People nowagain, I don't know that much
about movies, but I don't evenknow why that.
Just need to google that.
I think ordinary people nowagain, I don't know that much
about movies, but I don't evenknow why.
That just occurred to me.

(03:08):
Did, let me see, did or did?
I'm just gonna do this on thefly.
Did ordinary people win anoscar?
Um, because I think it beat outraging bull Bull, which is my
favorite movie.
Let me see.
Yes, I can't believe it.

(03:30):
I can't believe I knew thatOrdinary People, which is a good
, it's a great movie.
I forgot what it's about.
I remember watching it and Iknew it was.
I can't remember what it wasabout.
Sorry, it really has to stickin my mind.
Where's Raging Bull Dead?
That was at the 53rd AcademyAwards.

(03:51):
Ordinary People won four OscarsBest Picture, best Director,
four Robert Redford, bestAdapted Screenplay.
Raging Bull won two Oscars BestActor, for the guy that used to
be my favorite actor.
Now he's a bum, robert De Niro.
I say bum I'm being mild withthat now.

(04:12):
I have other things I mightcall him at this point and best
film editing for ThelmaSchoonmaker in that movie, but I
just remembered that for somereason that it beat out Raging
Bull.
I cannot believe a movie beatout Raging Bull.
With all due respect, that's anamazing movie.
So yeah, and again, he was thefounder of the Sundance Film

(04:35):
Institute.
He passed away today at hishome in Utah.
He was an actor turned director, like so many people do.
Ron Howard, so many others hada stellar run in films like the
Way we Were, oh my gosh, which,of course, go back.

(04:57):
I mean, barbara Streisand, ofcourse, sang the song the Way we
Were.
That was a huge hit.
The Sting, which, of course,sang the song the way we were.

(05:22):
That was worked less frequently, both in front and behind the
camera in recent years.
Matter of fact, his laston-screen acting job was in
2019's Avengers Endgame, inwhich he reprised the role of
Secretary Alexander Pierce,joined several other Marvel vets

(05:46):
as Michael Douglas and TildaSwinton, but in his heyday in
the 1970s, there were very fewactors that possessed Robert
Redford's star quality.
I mean geez, you know.

(06:07):
I mean again, he was a sexsymbol.
What can you say he was?
He was the Farrah Fawcett.
You know we had Farrah Fawcettas guys For the women.
It was Robert Redford and PaulNewman.
He was an environmentalactivist and, as I mentioned
before, he had ananti-establishment approach to

(06:29):
filmmaking.
That's what I really love.
He pioneered efforts inproviding a platform for indie
filmmakers and he was able touse his celebrity to subvert the
status quo while advancing hisown creative agenda.
One of my favorite movies withRobert Redford is when he teams

(06:52):
up with Paul Newman.
This movie was so popular ButchCassidy and the Sundance Kid
1969.
They're stranded on the cliffNot stranded, but they're on the
cliff.
I should say Sort of stranded.
Well, the way I figure it, wecan either fight or give.

(07:18):
If we give, we go to jail.
I've been there already.
If we fight, we stay rightwhere they are and starve us out
, or go for position, shoot us.
Might even get a rock slidestarted and get us that way.
What else can they do?
They could surrender to us, butI wouldn't count on that.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
They're going for position, all right.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Better get ready.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Better get ready, kid , the next time I say let's go
someplace like Bolivia.
Let's go someplace like BoliviaNext time, ready, no we'll jump

(08:04):
.
Like hell, we will.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
No, it'll be okay If the water's deep enough we don't
get squished to death, he'llnever follow us.
How do you know?
Would you make a jump like that?
And you didn't have to.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
I have to, and I'm not gonna.
Well, we got to, otherwisewe're dead.
They're just gonna have to goback down the same way.
They come, come on.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Just one clear shot.
That's all I want.
Come on, we got to Get awayfrom me.
Why I want to fight them?
They'll kill us Maybe.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
You want to die, do you?
All?
Right, I'll jump first.
No, then you jump first no.
I said what's the matter withthe fall will?

We'll be talking about RobertRedford and his passing tonight
and take your phone calls aswell.

(09:25):
So also today we have somelistener content.
Oh, it is 9-1-6 day, so we'regoing to celebrate Sacramento on
the Pat Wall show tonight aswell.
So happy 9-1-6 day if you're inthe Sacramento area.
So listener content today.

(09:45):
Here's a great one from Joe.
Now, I've never seen thisbefore, neither had Joe, and I'm
a big baseball fan, so I havenever seen an umpire.
Now, I've seen a lot of umpireseject players, but I never

(10:05):
until this point seen an umpireejected from a game until now
and tucker nathans was justejected by warren nicholson.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Now he'll get his money's worth.
T TJ Stanton sprinted down fromthe third base coaching box and
Nathans continues to plead hiscase, getting in Nicholson's
face Now.
Reed TJ standing with his armsfolded.
Now and now Nicholson just madecontact with Nathans and TJ is

(10:45):
pulling Tucker out of the fray.
One of the boulders left thedugout.
He's incensed.
Cito Culver comes over fromshortstop into foul ground.
The three umpires now makingtheir way up the first baseline,
but Tucker Nathans is reallyheated now.
Warren Nicholson appeared tohave shoved him and in all my
years of watching baseball atevery level imaginable, I have

(11:09):
never seen an umpire ejectedfrom a game.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Exactly Ejected from a minor league baseball game
after a physical altercationwith a player, he turned around,
basically punched him, lookedlike he punched him to me in the
gut.
This is during an argumentduring a league mandated tablet
used for sign stealingaccusations.
This is according to SportsIllustrated.

(11:34):
The umpire, warren Nicholson,was subsequently removed from
the game by the chief umpire andthen replaced by a quote nearby
umpire.
This was the frontier leaguebaseball game between the new
york boulders and the tri-cityvalley cats.
I'll tell you that the minorleague teams have the best names
of any teams in sports the newyork boulders and the tri-city

(11:58):
valley cats.
And again, the incident beganwhen they found a tablet in the
dugout as they're stealing signs.
Amazing.
Now for something a little less.
Shall we say something a littlemore serious.

(12:20):
This comes from Raymond.
This is the LFR family and theyare discussing the the Murder
of Charlie Kirk.
Now I thought this would be avery interesting perspective.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
This is a black perspective on the shooting LFR
family especially black peoplethat are saying Charlie Kirk was
racist and was not for blackpeople and did not know black
people.
I am 100 percent convinced thatyou have never sat through a
full debate of his or watchedany of his debates with a sound

(13:02):
understanding.
Black people are always soquick to want to be the victim
of a situation that they can'tthrive, and this is one of the
things that Charlie Kirk wasexposing to black people.
We have such a cap on usbecause we think we're limited
because we're black or becausewe're women, and because we
think our ancestors, whateverthey went through, is still

(13:22):
impacting us today.
But we are not there anymore.
Charlie kirk wasn't saying thatwe didn't need or black
problems didn't matter.
He was saying hey, you're not aslave anymore and there are no
more laws that are holding youback, saying that you can't do
what a white person can do.
You should get up and go andtry these methods and become
somebody.
One thing we got to understandis life is hard and we don't

(13:44):
need handouts.
Handouts is making people weakand sensitive.
That's why this man was justkilled over mere opinions Having
an opinion.
This man never said nothingracist or hated or hateful
towards black people.
I followed this man very closelyand watched many of his debates

(14:05):
and I stand in agreement with alot of the things that he said,
and I really, if I disagreewith anything, it was so small.
I can't even think aboutnothing I disagree with, and I
just hate that we are a peoplewho are so quick to be
controlled by the word racismthat just one little clip
misrepresenting what somebodysaid is all we need to throw

(14:27):
somebody under the bus.
We gotta think about this.
Who are the kind of people?
This was a white on white crime, and whenever these type of
people get involved, that meansthere is some power being seeped
out somewhere to the massesthat the people in control don't
want the power to be with, andthis is what he was doing.

(14:49):
He was showing a lot of peoplethat are blind and programmed by
the system to wake up and getout the matrix, and this was the
problem.
Telling black people you don'tneed government assistance
because you can be somebody isnot racist.
Telling us that governmentassistance has hindered us
because before we were ongovernment assistance, we were a

(15:10):
more successful people.
It is not racist by reading andunderstanding the facts ever
since we start gettingsubsidized by the government.
We have been controlled by thegovernment, and not in only what
we can do, but how we think,and this is a person who
challenges you to think foryourself.

(15:30):
The things he said about GeorgeFloyd y'all act like because an
officer killed George Floyd.
That made him a saint, like hewasn't a criminal, like he
wasn't on drugs.
That's what caused him to besuffocated and pass out.
That made him a saint.
Like he wasn't a criminal, likehe wasn't on drugs.
That's what caused him to besuffocated and pass out.
Yeah, like he wasn't resisting,like he was just being a good
law abiding citizen and was justtaken out senselessly like we

(15:51):
do each other.
That wasn't the case.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
That wasn't the case at all.
I'm a letter cook, but that wasnot the case at all.
Man, this brother could havebeen in the back of the car.
Y'all know how much it took toget him to sit in the back of
the car.
Did you commit a crime?
Yes, are there witnesses?
Yes, could you please get outof the car and turn around?
But what I do, I can't get outof the car, I can't get in there
, I can't put the cuffs on.
I'm claustrophobic.

(16:15):
It over and over and over.
Listen, bro.
You like six, five, six, seven.
You weigh like 225, 250.
You're a big dude and you'realready on drugs right now.
This don't have to go that way.
But if you continue to resistand don't want to listen to

(16:35):
anything we say, what do youthink is going to happen?
Are you above being arrested?
Are you above being pulled overin question?
Yes, you have your rights, butwe're not trying to violate that
.
Bro.
You are the one that's in thewrong.
You was just now in theretrying to use a fake 20 bill.
This was all you.
The store owners called you in,bro, and you was high.

(16:58):
You was about to drive away inthis minivan, but yet you're
claustrophobic all of a sudden.
Yeah, make that make sense.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Let her continue to cook so when they are pointing
out this stuff, y'all don't likenobody telling y'all the truth.
Black people don't want to hearthe truth because we benefit
off of not working and beinglazy, off of government
assistance and stuff.
One thing char thing CharlieKirk also said, was, if the
black people want to becomebetter, we're going to have to
stop celebrating crime andmurder.
Our culture is destruction.

(17:28):
Our culture is destruction andit ain't nothing we can do or
say to change that.
Everything we have from thewomen in our idolization groups
Beyonce, summer Walker, sza,cardi B, sexy Red all of them
are horrible examples of how tobe as a woman.
The same thing with the NBAYoungboy Lil Baby, da Baby, lil

(17:49):
Wayne, baby P Diddy All of thoseare examples of how to be a
terrible person.
And what he is saying is getthese examples from in front of
you and your kids so that y'allcan thrive.
Also, let's work on building afamily back.
One of the things thatdestroyed the family was
removing a father out the home.
Put that back together so wecan start becoming a good

(18:12):
community.
But we don't like being toldnothing.
We don't like being told how tobetter ourselves because we
want to be victims so bad wewant to be at the bottom of
somebody's pity party, so badthat we'll take anything we can
to disregard or dismiss anyethical or sound doctrine to
help better ourselves so that wecan steady dwell on a past that

(18:37):
no longer affects us and thatwe can overcome and have the
ability to become somebody.
My last point is I always tellmy daughter, because I made her
read about Madam CJ Walker, aself-made black woman,
millionaire during a time wayworse than today.
So everybody, with all theseexcuses of why you can't be

(18:57):
successful because you black ora woman, with all these excuses
of why you can't be successfulbecause you black or a woman,
odds have always been beingdefeated since the beginning of
time.
Stop teaching your kids andcapping your kids at you black
or you a woman, so there'sstripes against you.
Stop teaching that to your kidsand let them know you're going
to have to work hard forwhatever you want, be
resourceful and go for what itis that your goal is.

(19:17):
But we keep teaching each otherthat, oh, it's hard because we
black.
I've been a victim of thatmentality too, and that keeps
you in a slave mentality.
It keeps you from going tostrive If you are conditioning
people and making people believethat I automatically am going
to lose or fail or it's going tobe even harder for me just
because I'm black.
Most people are not going toeven get up and put their best

(19:38):
foot forward.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Woman.
You better shut up and preach.
You better be quiet andcontinue to preach the way
you're doing.
She is on fire.
The more you tell somebody thatthey can't do anything, they
will listen.
How do we train these elephantsand tigers inside of circuses?
Huh, we will put a chain onthem short enough to move around

(20:03):
in this space right there.
Then we will put a rope on themshort enough to move around in
this space.
Then we will put somethingextremely thin that they can
just rip off, short enough forthem to move around in this one
space, this secluded area.
Then we will remove therestraints and they will
continue to just move around inthat short area.
This has been tested on monkeys, ants and other animals and

(20:28):
insects.
It's been tested on humanbeings.
When you constantly tell us thatwe cannot do, we start to
believe it.
When you constantly tell usthat we are held down by our
race and the color of our skin,we start to believe it.
We start to believe that weneed help.
We start to believe that, evenif we don't have a father in our
house, that we cannot docertain things, which is an all

(20:52):
out lie.
It's ridiculous.
Man, I didn't have my mother normy father in my house at all.
Neither did my wife.
She didn't have her mother.
Well, father in my house at all.
Neither did my wife.
She didn't have her mother.
Well, she had her mother, buther mom was.
She was sick.
Let's say that she was sick.
She was one of the people inthe hood that ended up trying
some things that didn't go well,right, and her dad wasn't there

(21:16):
.
But that didn't dictate how wewas when we went to school, how
far we wanted to go, the factthat we wanted to have a nuclear
family for ourselves, the factthat we wanted to involve God's
principles, biblical principles,in our lives, the fact that we
wanted to put education, god andfamily before anything in our

(21:36):
own household.
We held our children to ahigher standard when it came to
their education and because ofthat they are all successful.
Not believing that just becausemy dad went through this, just
because I'm black, just becausemy mom's black, that we don't
have?
No, no, she is absolutely1,000% right.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Okay, let me let her cook for the simple fact that
people don't want to do better,that people hate knowledge.
The Bible says in Proverbs,chapter 1, 22 through 24, when
will you fools stop hatingknowledge?
Fools hate knowledge.
And that's all this man wasgiving out is knowledge.
And if anybody saw fit thatthis man should be executed in

(22:43):
front of his white kids andthousands and thousands of
people just because he wasgiving out knowledge, it's
absolutely insane.
And if anybody thought this wasokay or warranted, it's
absolutely insane.
And we got to pray about yourheart and I pray over this
country in the name of jesus,lord, that you begin to touch
the hearts of the people here inthis world, lord.

(23:03):
Their hearts are growing cold.
They're beginning to lovemurder and death.
They're beginning to love tosee people suffering, good
people suffering.
And I'm just asking heavily,father, in the name of Jesus,
that you come down here and yourest your soul on us and you
open and soften the hearts ofthe people of the world who are
constantly in rejection to youor the truth of any kind.

(23:23):
We speak the truth and declarethe truth, no matter what, in
the name of Jesus, amongsteverybody, no matter how you
feel about it, no matter howyour feelings get hurt, because
all of this saving people'sfeelings and stopping people
from getting offended is whysomebody felt the need to go and
assassinate somebody for havingan opinion.
We got to be careful what welisten to and what we fall for,

(23:45):
and stop falling for thepropaganda and lies that is
being used to control us andtell us how to think instead of
thinking for ourselves amen.

Speaker 1 (23:56):

And I remember I got tointroduce them on stage and
Little Anthony came up to me ashe's coming out on stage right
after I introduced him.
He looks at me, he gave the bigsmile and he goes.
That was a good introduction.
He high-fived me.

(29:37):
But he wrote this song Hurt soBad.
Great tune Written by Bobbybyhart.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
I know you don't know what I'm going through standing
here looking at you you.
Let me tell you that it hurtsso bad.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
It makes me feel so sad.
I remember I used to walkaround singing this song as a
kid.
I'd sing a lot of these kind ofsongs when I was a kid.
Can you imagine?

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Like needles and pins .

Speaker 1 (30:22):
This song also went to number eight by Linda
Ronstadt in 1980.
Here's another one he wrote I'dforgotten about this song, but
man, this would be like on theall-time jukebox 45s.
I would always like GaryPuckett in the Union Gap for

(30:45):
some reason in my mind, and someothers, this one would always
seem like it would be like Zegraand Evans.
This one would be on a jukebox.
Jay and the Americans come alittle bit closer In a little
cafe just the other side of theborder.
It's almost got a little MartyRobbins in it, doesn't it?

Speaker 2 (31:02):
You're sitting there giving me looks that make my
mouth water Water.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
The last part is walking her way.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
She belonged to.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
Batman, jose, and I knew, yes, I knew I should leave
when I heard her say hey, comea little bit closer.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
You're my kind of man , so big and so strong.
Come a little bit closer.
You're my kind of man, so bigand so strong.
Come a little bit closer, I'mall alone.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
And the night is so long.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Very different feel from From the others.
Definitely a tinge of MartyRobbins in there.
Bobby Hart writing that one aswell.
And then he did another one.
He wrote another one thatbecame very well known for a

(31:58):
much different reason.
He also wrote the theme to Daysof Our Lives.
He also wrote the theme to Daysof Our Lives.
If you're a fan of these soap,these soap operas, daytime TV,
