We unpack why a 43‑day shutdown ended with the same extension Democrats rejected, and how the fallout hit workers, flyers, and families. From Hollywood scolding to Berkeley arrests, media editing scandals, clan politics in Minneapolis, and a rising socialist bench, we track where power actually moved.

• the extension through January 2026 and the seven plus one votes
• lost October data and the lag to restore pay, travel, and benefits
• celebrity outrage contrasted with working families’ reality
• free speech confrontations at Berkeley and TPUSA events
• the BBC editing controversy and looming legal risk
• generational turnover in Congress and a socialist surge
• Somali clan dynamics shaping Minneapolis outcomes
• bioethics debate over pet cloning and cultural consequences

SPEAKER_01 (00:00):
It's the Alpha Curl Show with Clay Nova, serving up
trending news and conservativeviews.
Brought to you by the Alpha CurlClub and Refuge Medical.
And now it's time for the show.

SPEAKER_04 (00:19):
Oh hey, y'all.
So we gotta talk about thisplay.
Literally just before we hit thestart button there, Clay goes,
hey, beard trim.
So my husband, so his place ofemployment um does not allow
beards.
It's just a nope for them,except for No Shave November.
So he sneaks in, don't tell hisboss, he sneaks in like a week

(00:43):
or so, maybe even a little bitlonger before November starts,
and he starts growing it in.
And he this is his favorite timeof year, just for that reason
alone that he gets to grow thebeard.
And I love the beard.
I think it's freaking adorable.
So I like beards.
They're just rugged, they'regood, they're cool.
I like it.
And he's but you know, theminute he does, he pulls up the

(01:03):
beard brush and the and thebeard oil and like all and then
he goes for his trims likeevery, I don't know, whatever he
does, like every week and ahalf, every 10 days or so to
neaten it all up and everything.
I'm like, the drama.
I feel like I don't know.
Do you do all that?

SPEAKER_11 (01:19):
Is this is this a big I I have a beard brush, I
have beard wax.
Um I do not use beard oil.
Um, but you remember I shavedmine not that long ago.

SPEAKER_04 (01:27):
I remember.
Look how full it grew inalready.

SPEAKER_11 (01:29):
Yeah, I haven't I haven't shaved it since.
Um, and even my I saw my sisterover the weekend, and even she
said she was like, Your beard isback quick.

SPEAKER_04 (01:36):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 (01:37):
Yeah, because it's very odd.
Like my dad, um my son, likemost most of the men in my
family on my dad's side, theycan't grow facial hair to save
their lives.
But I got my mom's Italian,that's where all the comes from.

SPEAKER_04 (01:50):
Thanks, mom's side.

SPEAKER_11 (01:52):
I I I'm the one guy who gets to grow a beard and I
love it.
I mean, you know the deal verymuch like your husband, you
know, 25 plus years in the army,and then I worked a job that you
couldn't have a beard for youknow three years after I
retired, and as soon as I wasable, beard and I'll never be
without it.
Like I'll do it for cleanup, butother than that, I'm keeping it.

SPEAKER_04 (02:12):
Yeah, I totally get it.
Like all all the women watchingright now are like, yeah, we get
it, we get our version of it.
Like, if I didn't have to shavemy legs for, you know, for an
extended period of time, thatwould be delightful.
That would be amazing.
We don't get that luxury.
I mean, yes, I know there arewomen that are like, I don't
care, blah, blah, blah.
I I'm a woman who cares.
That's all I can say.

(02:32):
You know, I mean, uh, I'm notgonna be walking around like
Chewbacca or something.

SPEAKER_11 (02:36):
Just always go back to, you know, uh in in remote
places in the like worst weatherconditions, whether it was cold,
freezing, desert, pouring rain,whatever it was, there I was.

SPEAKER_04 (02:50):
Yep.

SPEAKER_11 (02:50):
Oh never again.

SPEAKER_04 (02:52):
No, I don't think I think my husband will be the
same way when he does retire.
That's gonna be it.
Uh he's gonna be uh he's gonnahave that furry face for the
very long foreseeable future,which is fine by me.
I like it.
He's got the you know, he's gotthe salt and pepper hair and
everything.
He looks very distinguished.
So I like it.
It's all good.
All right, I'm sorry.
I have derailed all of us withthis beard talk.

(03:14):
So, hello everyone.
It's great to be here.
We've got a great show for you.

SPEAKER_09 (03:19):
The government's open again, but who really
blinked first?
Hollywood's elite are fuming.
Turns out they don't like whentheir party folds faster than
their Botox.
Chaos at Berkeley.
Turning point USA meets theangry mob, and free speech takes
another hit.
Democrats are eating theirelders alive, the old guards

(03:40):
losing control, and Gen Zcalling the shots.
Across the pond, the BBC's inmeltdown, caught editing Trump's
words, and now bracing for abillion-dollar lawsuit.
Back home, Somali tribalpolitics are showing up in
Minneapolis, and America's unityis on the line.
Oh, and Tom Brady cloned his dogbecause apparently science ran

(04:04):
out of things to fix.

SPEAKER_04 (04:06):
And starting right off with this, and this this is
such a good one because it likesegues right, you know, it just
piggybacks right on the next oneafter it.
Um, yeah, so some people arefeeling pretty happy and some
other people are not.
And I think it's very easy toguess which ones are what.
Um, so government's finally backopen after weeks of will they or

(04:28):
won't they?
Washington finally flipped theswitch and somehow made it sound
heroic.
Um, so uh they passed the billto reopen the government.
I think it's still gotta gothrough the final approval,
right?

SPEAKER_11 (04:42):
There's a yeah, there's a vote that's gonna
happen today, folks.
It is uh Wednesday, uh ournormal recording time-ish.
It's about uh 4 45 on the EastCoast right now.
But uh yes, so there's still avote today, and then it's gotta
go to the president's desk forsignature.
And he has said the bill as itstands right now, he will sign.
Uh so as long as between what hewas shown yesterday and what is,

(05:05):
you know, gets to his desk latertoday, um, he he will sign it.
So no delay from the WhiteHouse.
The question is um, how quicklydoes the rest of this open back
up?
And I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 (05:17):
Yeah, I haven't the faintest idea.
Um, you know, obviously,hopefully it's very, very
quickly.
Um it was eight Democrats thatit was seven plus one.

SPEAKER_11 (05:29):
So it was seven plus one, thank you.
Democrats and one independent.
And I've got the you know,Fetterman has been that that guy
the whole time.
Um he's been on board with withuh keeping the government open.
Um so you've got two fromNevada, uh Cortez Masto and
Rosen, both from Nevada.
You've got um the independent isKing from Maine, um then you've

(05:52):
got two from New Hampshire,Shaheen and Hassan.
Um, and then you've got Kanefrom Virginia and Dick Durbin
from Illinois, um who wasprobably the biggest surprise.
However, um you've got you know,Fetterman is is, and I think he
knows this, he's probably done.

(06:13):
Um the the Dems are gonna doeverything to make sure when it
comes time for his uhre-election that he is not uh
that he loses.
Like I don't think he's gonnaget any support from the DNC
funding-wise.
Um, and I know he's trying to dothe right thing, um, but he is
probably a lame duck, whether helikes it or not.
Maybe not, who knows?
Um, but Durban and Shaheen areboth lame ducks.

(06:36):
So they're not, and that'sanother discussion, you know,
another topic for later, butthey're in that crowd of folks
who are not coming back.
Um so yeah, seven plus one wasthe count uh to get it over the
line to get it to sixty.

SPEAKER_04 (06:48):
So, you know, I mean I you know, I don't think that
they're they're true, there's noattempt here at damage control.
Seven is, you know, it's not agreat number.
So they're still they're stillif it were up to them, if they
didn't have those seven thatlooked over, um, they this would
still be going on.
They would still be, you know,stomping their feet and holding
their breath and holding Americahostage, Americans hostage,

(07:10):
right?
There's no question about it.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
And which now they're, you know,let's face it, they're still
jumping up and down and holdingtheir breath like toddlers.
It's just, you know, a differenttantrum that they're so mad that
they gave in.
Um, you know, particularlySchumer.
This was supposed to be his, youknow, his big stand, and now
it's ruined.

(07:31):
Um, he's really like a cartoonvillain, isn't he?
He's just a cartoon villain thatcharacters.

SPEAKER_11 (07:36):
He's just it's bad leadership.
But you know, here's the here'sthe thing that I think people
are losing sight of.
This is actually just anextension.
There's a balanced budget inthis, there's no budget period
in this.
This is an extension to the endof January 2026.
So that same extension that theGOP was asking for in late
December to keep this open sothat they could discuss it, come

(07:59):
up with a plan, come up with abudget, and then pass a budget
that the Dems refused tosupport.
That's where we're going anyway.
So they shut this down for whatis it, 43 days now, I think.
43 days um for for nothing.

SPEAKER_04 (08:14):
Absolutely nothing.
They gained nothing, they wonnothing, they did nothing.
And that is, you know, a perfectsummarization of their entire
existence.
Do nothing, say a lot of BS anddo nothing, accomplish nothing.
And none of what they did helpedone single American, so
whatsoever.
And you know, and of course,they that's how they're trying

(08:35):
to paint this, like that theywere fighting for the American
people as you're starving them,as you're denying them, you
know, pay.
Yeah, it's amazing to me.

SPEAKER_11 (08:43):
So, like the question you brought up,
Schumer, which is, you know, Imean, he's at the middle, he is
the epicenter of all this.
And the question that keepsgetting asked, and it's a great
strategy question, um, you know,and even even the the Raj and
Cajun, who uh, you know, I dopay attention to, even he
brought it up is what was theend state?
Like what the Democrats had noplan going into this, their only

(09:08):
plan was no.
Um, and and because uh you know,the the GOP, the Republicans had
the advantage.
Um, they you know, they theyknew where they sat, they knew
that this was, you know, theythey had a uh a message, they
had all of that prepared.
Um, and the democrats walked inwith nothing other than you
know, the the very, verydishonest, you know, ACA for um

(09:34):
for Americans.
When in reality it's not ACA,it's not Obamacare for
Americans.
Right.
It's you know, it's Obamacarefor um illegal aliens, is the
biggest thing.
And so, you know, even even hesaid he's like they there was no
there was there was no otheroption.
This was gonna fail from thebeginning, which again rests in
you know Schumer's lap.

(09:56):
And and there are a lot ofpeople, a lot of people, both
inside and outside of politics,calling for his resignation,
calling for, you know, callingfor his head.
But that's what they're lookingat.

SPEAKER_04 (10:08):
Yeah, I'm you know, I mean, obviously, pretty much
everyone on the right would besaying that, no matter what, um,
because he's just garbage.
And he's, you know, he's acorpse.
He's a walking corpse, he's ahundred years old.
Enough, just go away.
Same with Pelosi, who is finallygoing to be going away,
supposedly.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Um, right?
Like she's just a bad penny.
She keeps turning up.

SPEAKER_11 (10:29):
Yeah, I mean, we're gonna talk about that, you know,
the exodus that's happening umin a little while.
But but Schumer is truthfully,he's not up for re-election
until 2028, and and has not saidanything one way or the other,
whether he's staying or going.
Um, but you know, the the moveright now is for him to be
caucused out of his job, and youknow, the name everybody keeps

(10:51):
thrown out there is the dumbest,probably the second dumbest
person in Congress behindCrockett, and that's AOC.

SPEAKER_04 (10:58):
Yeah, yeah.
It just, I mean, listen, I'mrooting for that.
I'm completely right.

SPEAKER_11 (11:04):
Here's what you need to do.
Let's get ahead of things alittle bit.
You need to start working onyour impression of AOC.
That's where this needs to go,right?
Yeah, you you need to get AOCdown pat.
That's what you need to do.

SPEAKER_04 (11:15):
Yes, yeah, and I'm so ready to fully retire Kamala.
I mean, she can come out, youknow, every once in a blue moon
for a quick, quick visit.
I I just I just did a videorecently.
Uh it was just, you know, likeone of those how to talk like a
politician, and it was justusing that, you know, word salad
circular speaking.
I didn't even do it in Kamala'svoice.
And I knew that people weregonna be like, do it as Kamala,
you should have done it asKamala, blah, blah, blah.

(11:37):
I'm like, eh, I just, I justdon't feel like it.
I just don't feel like it.
I I'm not saying I'm never gonnado it, but um it's time to move
on.
It's time to move on to AOC.
I I agree.
Stay tuned, guys, it'll happen.

SPEAKER_11 (11:50):
Um, but yeah, I mean this, so you know, that that
group of folks, that eight sevenplus one, um, they they got it,
you know, they're they'regetting it over the line today.
Yeah, it'll go to the president,he'll sign it.
And then, but but the questionis, and then what?
Um, you know, uh CarolineLeavitt came out today and said
basically every um every pieceof governmental data that we

(12:13):
rely on uh for the month ofOctober will never be recovered.
So unemployment, inflation, um,you know, jobs, all of those
things, the economic numbersthat we rely on um are you know
are never to be recovered.
They're just not.
They're they're done.

SPEAKER_04 (12:32):
It's so crazy.
It's so crazy.
All for nothing.
All for nothing.
It was, you know, there werepower plays going on here, and
that's kind of the extent of it.
You know, the the Dems, Schumerspecifically, thought they could
um that they could pull this offand paint Trump as the the
villain in this, the the doer ofof you know all of this

(12:53):
happening, not the case, as wehave stated over and over again,
not the case at all.
And um, this is what you get forit.
This is what you got forabsolutely nothing, the scorn
now of your own party and thecalling for um you to be done,
just go away, Chuck.
Everybody wants you to be gonenow, your own party, because you

(13:15):
thought you could pull offsomething that you couldn't.

SPEAKER_11 (13:18):
So yeah.
And it and you know, like yousaid, they tried to paint the
president as the bad guy, right?
And very quickly dispelled in anumber of ways.
One was like, because you saw itand I saw it for the last 40
days.
It's been they control theHouse, they control the Senate,
they control the White House,they could, you know, they
control and they threw POTUS oruh uh SCOTUS in there.
You know, they said they controlthe Supreme Court, they could

(13:39):
end this if they wanted to.
And in reality, that's not howit works.

SPEAKER_02 (13:44):
Not how it works.

SPEAKER_11 (13:49):
And they pulled out all the old footage of Obama and
others talking about, you know,you can't hijack, you can't
blackmail a president, you can'tdo this, it's irresponsible.
And they all look like idiots,all of them.
Um again, it rests on Schumerbecause he is good, bad, or
indifferent.
He's the guy in charge.
And so, yeah, they all lookstupid.

(14:11):
Um after a great quote unquotegreat um election night a week
ago, less than a week ago, um,they still all look dumb.
All of them, collectively.
They all look dumb.

SPEAKER_04 (14:22):
So yeah, yeah, it's like taking a big win, which you
know, as we talked about lastweek.
It's not the win that peoplewant it to be pinches.
Yes, I mean, we, you know, yes,we should have flipped those and
everything, of course, yeah.
Um, but these are deep blueplaces.
They were expected.
This was fully expected.
Not to say that an attemptshouldn't be made, obviously it

(14:42):
should, and was.
I mean, you know, valiantattempt is just a really hard.
And then, you know, then youhave all the illegal voters
going on in there.
So there's so many thingshappening in those states that I
don't want to call them a wash,but that's kind of what it feels
like.
So wasn't this big win?
Didn't wasn't the um, you know,signal of a blue tide or
anything like that.

(15:03):
It was very predictable, it wasvery unfortunate.
We were saying Mamdanny wasgonna win, you know, months
before uh this ever evenhappened, like really, yeah, we
already know it's gonna happenbecause we know what that state
looks like.
We already know what it lookslike.
So come on.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 (15:14):
Jay Jones, I think, was the one uh that crept up on
us, but it it's you knowregardless.
But the the question is, even ifthey vote today, which they're
supposed to, and it goes to thepresident's desk and he signs
it, which he's gonna, um, howlong until like the airlines are
back to normal?
How long until they rectify thepay situation, right?
How long does all of that taketo get things back on track

(15:37):
again for federal lawenforcement, for air traffic
controllers, for all of thosethings, um, you know, before
things are quote unquote back tonormal.
Um, you know, one of theconcessions that were made, that
was made, were um, you know, allof the layoffs from last fall
have been essentially put backin place and or maybe not from

(15:58):
last fall, but within the lastfew months.
And and all those people aregetting back pay.
You know, it's uh I think fromthe beginning of the shutdown,
everybody who got laid off as aresult, or maybe as even a
little before that, they're allgetting put back on the job and
they're getting back pay.
Okay, fine.
How quick does all of thathappen?
That's the question.

SPEAKER_04 (16:16):
Yeah, did you see the tweet from uh, or not, I
guess not the truth social, Iguess technically, from uh
President Trump uh calling out,I think it was air traffic
controllers, the people you knowcall calling out and and not
showing up for work and doingall that stuff and really laid
into them for stepping away fromtheir, you know, their their
duty, their service, basically.
And it was a big, it was a longthing that I kind of as a

(16:43):
traveler, as in my selfishneeds, of course I agreed.
I was like, yeah, you tell them,get to work, dang it.
And then there's the other sideof that.
It's like, hang on, hang on.
If my family, you know, if Ican't pay my bills and I can't
do the things I need to dobecause your government, my
government is not doing whatthey're supposed to do for me.
You know, this is a give andtake, not a take, take, take,

(17:04):
take, take, or a give, give,give, give, give.
So, yeah.

SPEAKER_11 (17:08):
Yeah, I I I don't I don't buy, I don't, I don't
agree with that, truthfully.
Um, this wasn't a strike, theydidn't ask for this.
They didn't like this, isn'tlike Reagan back in the 80s when
he fired them all and you know,and because they refused.
This is like you said, this isthem, they they've got to feed
their families.
These folks have got, you know,they've got income, they've got

(17:28):
they've got to pay their rent,they gotta pay all of those
things.
And, you know, when they usedauthorized PTO, which they
weren't getting paid for, wasessentially just like, hey, I
I've still got four days off, orI've got whatever, to not be at
work to potentially go interviewor look for another job or work
a side job or something to makesome money to feed the family.
I okay, fine.

(17:49):
I have no problem with that.
I know he probably got a littleirritated with it, but like
folks gotta eat.
Like, I I'm not I'm not upsetwith them for that.
Um, because it's not of theirown doing, they're victims of
all of this.
And yeah, you know, there therewas no recourse for them for a
lot of them.
Um and and you know, it is whatit is.
So I I just want them to getback online.
Truthfully, I want the peoplewho need I'm clarifying here,

(18:13):
the people who need Wick andSnap, I want them to get that
back online, right?
Not the freeloaders, not thepeople who are taking it and
selling their food stamp, theircard, whatever.
Not those people, but the peoplewho really need those things to
feed their family and survive,those I want to get back online
as soon as possible.
But, you know, it's thegovernment.
So how long is it going to taketo turn the lights back on?

(18:33):
And and you know, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 (18:35):
Right.
And you know, and I guess ifthere's any, you know, upsides
here, I I think part of thatwhole thing with the SNAP um
benefits, it did expose, itbrought it shined a pretty
bright light, a pretty, prettybright spotlight on the uh
problems with that and theabuses of it is really, you
know, really the case.
The the extreme amounts of abusegoing on with that system.

(18:58):
So, you know, there in thatregard, there's definitely some
good to come, and I agree withyou fully that uh the people who
are truly in need and and simplyneed it.
Um let's get them restored asquickly as possible.
That would probably be, youknow, the number one probably
priority in service members,obviously, and everything else.
But uh it's a great question,Clay.
I don't I don't know the timefor that.

(19:20):
I mean, right?
Like uh Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 (19:22):
Yeah.
So we'll just have to, you know,travelers are gonna have to be
patient for another, I I wouldassume a week or so till things
settle down.
You know, those the uh ATA, youknow, air traffic control ATC
folks are probably not gonna getpaid tomorrow.
Um, it's probably gonna take alittle while to figure all that
out and get them paid.
Um, but they're probably knowingthey're gonna get paid, are

(19:43):
probably a little more apt toshow up to work.
And I think a lot of that stuffwill clarify, but um, it's
probably gonna be dicey foranother week or so, and then and
then I think things will getback to normal.
Um, but it's still, you know,the de if this is just a black
eye for the Dems.
But here's the here's the thing.
We collectively, as Americans,cannot forget this.
And we have a horrible habit ofdoing that.
Yeah.

(20:03):
We have a horrible habit of theheadline news, 30-minute
attention span maximum, and comenext election cycle a year from
now, you know, every single GOPcandidate for every single
political job across the countryneeds to bring this back up.
Forget that this happened um,you know, a year from now.

SPEAKER_04 (20:23):
Yeah, absolutely.
And it's it's historic,obviously.
You know, this has neverhappened to this extent.
Right.
Yep.
So yeah, hopefully, uh hopefullyAmericans will remember that and
remember who is responsible forit most importantly.
And and you know, remember,remember guys like this, you
know, which video I'm gonnashow.

SPEAKER_08 (20:41):
Whatever reason those members decided to uh vote
the way that they did.
Uh, I again I'm disappointed.
I think that more could havebeen done here, uh, but uh there
is another opportunity inJanuary, and we'll see what
happens.

SPEAKER_04 (20:54):
He's disappointed and doesn't understand how they
could have voted the way theydid.
Well, because they actually gavea crap about Americans and what
they actually needed.
Um, yeah, how about that, youselfish round man?

SPEAKER_11 (21:11):
Right.
For those of you that aren'tfamiliar, I think most people
are, that's JB Pritzker, thegovernor of Illinois.
He's a guy during COVID whovacated his own state.
He was the guy, he's thegovernor of Illinois during
COVID.
He's got a place in Wisconsin,and he's got a place in Florida,
and that's where he spent mostof COVID.
And when I say a place, I'm nottalking an apartment.
I'm not talking a condo, I'mtalking horse ranches, right?

(21:34):
And and so he vacated, left hisstate as the governor, um, you
know, and he's disappointedbecause more could have been
done.
He needs to shut his fat face,yes, uh, and and and realize
that people need to eat, peopleneed to pay bills, and
legislative, you know, people inin those elected positions have

(21:54):
an obligation to theirconstituency, which he does not
give a crap about, no matterwhat he tells you.

SPEAKER_04 (22:00):
Yeah, yeah.
He's obviously made thatcompletely.
He's not alone.
He's not alone, he's not alonein the boat of out-of-touch,
uncaring, selfish people, right?
Let's talk about thesegoofballs.
Oh my goodness.
Listen, we're we're all so sickand tired of listening to them.
And you have a better list thanI do.

(22:21):
I have the late night people,you know, went on their little
pouty rants and snapped theirfeet and had a fit.
Um, but you know, yeah, sothey're there are moral
superiors.
They are they are angry again.
Maybe they'll make a nice blackand white video about it, like
they like to do, and they canall sing a song together.

SPEAKER_11 (22:38):
So listen, folks, the the list of celebrities, and
and I use that term veryloosely, uh who are upset
because these seven plus one,the Democrats caved, that's the
word that they keep using, umare the they're the usual
suspects.
And so it's Jon Stewart, it'sStephen Colbert, it's Seth

(23:00):
Myers, it's Jimmy Kimmel, it'sDon Laman, uh Whoopi Goldberg,
Sonny Hoston, you know, and whatdo all these people have in
common?
They don't have to worry aboutmoney.
They don't have to worry aboutfeeding their family, they don't
have to worry about any of thosethings because they're extremely
wealthy.
All of them extremely wealthy.
So, you know, they're upset verymuch in the vein of JB Pritzker

(23:23):
about, you know, the governmentreopening.
Well, you know what?
Screw you from the workingpeople of America screw you.
Like, I don't want to hear anyof your high horse crap.
You're disappointed in theDemocrats for quote unquote
caving.
I don't care.
I really don't care.
This has gone on way too long,and these people on these
platforms, listen, we all knowDon Lamon's done.

(23:44):
I would tell you the views daysare numbered.
Um, you know, Kimmel is walkinga very tight rope.
Colbert's on his way out.
Like these folks, you know,their their message is is really
wearing on people.
But I've had it.
Like, literally, screw you.
I'm tired.

SPEAKER_04 (24:01):
Oh, the uh, you know, just the the arrogance and
the audacity, and I don't knowwho it was.
Uh I don't think she was anybodyof any big name, maybe she was,
but uh one of them, I caught aclip of them talking about uh
her going to her her her eyebrowtechnician or something.
Did you see that?
No, I just like, oh, when I wentto get my eyebrows done, you

(24:24):
know, they're having a hardtime.
And it's like to be more out oftouch, oh, more elite and out of
touch.
Like you really thought that wasa winning smart thing to say.
Like, you know, these people arestruggling to put food on their
table, and you're pressed aboutyour, you know, your
appointment, not being able to.

(24:46):
Oh, I can't.
I can't.
It's insane.
Uh, you mentioned that the talkshow host people who uh I know
you don't watch them, I don'twatch them.
Probably most of our audiencedoesn't watch them either.
So, all the more reason just togive you the the quick um you
know snapshot, so to speak, ofwhat they all have to say about
this on your stuff.

SPEAKER_00 (25:06):
We've got huge victories in the first day's
elections.
So naturally, Democrats look atall of that and said, now is the
time to look.

SPEAKER_10 (25:14):
I just got a funny email from the Democrats that
said, it's basically everyparent that tells their kid no

(26:44):
more iPad.
That's it.
By the Democrats, Bruce Wayneoffered to buy it.

SPEAKER_04 (26:54):
Yeah, I mean first of all, let me talk about Jon
Stewart.
That the man it he needs to calmdown.
He needs to calm down.
He's like gonna have an aneurysmright there.
Uh like is he always like that?

SPEAKER_11 (27:07):
Is that his been the New York angry Jew his entire
adult life?
Like that.

SPEAKER_04 (27:16):
I don't under I listen, I genuinely and and I'll
tell you this honestly, whetherhe was on the if he was on the
right and that's the way hedelivered everything that he
said, there was no possible wayI could sit and watch that.
I don't know how anybody doesit.
And if anybody's able to, Godbless you.
I don't know how you do it, butawful, awful.
But you know, again, that thatthe theme obviously throughout,
they must have all compared, youknow, it's they cave, they cave.

(27:37):
How could they cave?
Because American citizens needto live, they need to work and
they need to get paychecks, andwe need to live, and we need to
not be held ransom by elitistdemocrats who want to, you know,
stomp their feet and make somepolitical power play uh for

(27:58):
their own benefit and not forours, because we know that's a
big crock.
Oh, they're awful, awful humans.

SPEAKER_11 (28:04):
Yeah, it but again, it goes back to the fact what
they kept going back to at theend was the ACA thing, right?
And the fact that Republicansare like, we'll vote on it
later.
And okay, they know the what theoutcome is gonna be.
That's great.
But it goes back to the factthat they didn't have a plan
going in.
They knew this was a loss, theyknew America as a whole, right?
Even their own constituentsdon't want to pay for ACA for

(28:29):
illegal immigrants.
They don't.
We're tired of it, right?
Um, even Democrats don't want topay for that stuff, they're
tired of it too.
Um, so you know, they didn'thave a good position going in,
and they didn't have anothercourse of action except to, you
know, this never should happenin the first place, but once
they started it, this was theonly outcome, the only.

(28:50):
So they can be as pissed off asthey want as they sit in their
mansions, you know, in BeverlyHills, or they sit in their
penthouses in New York and allthese other places.
But the rest of America, youknow, I the rest of us gotta
eat, the rest of us gotta work.
People have got to do thosethings.
That's how this place survives.
It doesn't survive on, you know,entertainers running their

(29:10):
mouth.
That's not how America works.
They think it does, they thinkthat life is centered around
them, but it's they really do.
They really fully believe them.
They could all go off the airtomorrow, and you know what it
does to America?
Zero.

SPEAKER_04 (29:22):
Not a damn nothing, no one will miss them.
We've got TikTok people.
We don't need you.

SPEAKER_11 (29:27):
It's the level of arrogance, and and Kimmel's the
worst.
I know he's talking about Trumpand his sick of fans.

SPEAKER_04 (29:33):
Yeah, like wow, pot.

SPEAKER_11 (29:35):
Like the guy who's surrounded by yes men, literally
his entire staff is is filledwith yes men.
Shut up.
We're tired of your mouth.
The rest of us have got to workand we gotta eat.

SPEAKER_04 (29:46):
That you know, the thing when when I actually pause
for a moment to give them anactual thought, um, the thing
that I always question is dothey believe what they're
saying?
Like that's what I would if Icould have.
Get if I could get them aloneand go, okay, but really,
really, is this just about themoney you're getting and you'll

(30:06):
just say whatever they tell youto say?
Or you really believe suchabsolute drivel and nonsense.
You think yes?
You think they believe itwholeheartedly?

SPEAKER_11 (30:16):
Yeah.
Because they they live in thatecho chamber, right?
Right.
They're surrounded by they'reonly surrounded by people like
them.
They're only surrounded bywealthy people who have no
monetary worries of any kind,right?
Yeah.
And so they they live in that.
That's why there's the highdensity, truthfully, that's why
there's the high density oftrans kids in Hollywood.
It's the same thing.

(30:36):
Right.
Right.
They all talk themselves intowhat right looks like.
Um, and they don't get anyoutside influence.
There's no other discussion.
Uh, and so that's what theytruly believe.
I I honestly, you know, I truly,truly believe that that is who
they are.
Um, and and it you could I ifyou took their money away and

(30:57):
they were forced to actuallyearn a living, they their views
would probably change.
But unless you change that,they're that's who those people
are, period.

SPEAKER_04 (31:04):
Yeah.
Yeah, it seems like all of themthat live in that, you know,
Hollywood bubble, whether it'sNew York or Hollywood, you know,
it's a conceptually I mean thesame thing.
Um, but in that celebrity, we'llcall it the celebrity bubble.
They all seem to, you know, dothat loxy hurt all of them.
They're basically, you know,shared notes to have the same
talking points.

(31:25):
Um, it's those ones.
And then you see the ones thathave kind of pulled themselves
away from and looked around andsaid, this place is crazy.
This mentality is not right.
And I'm gonna go out somewherein the Midwest and you know, get
it by a farm or a ranch orsomething and just have some
land and get out of this.
Those are the ones you seesaying some pretty sensible.

(31:46):
You're Matthew McConaughey's ofthe world.
And um, you know, he's I thinkhe might be a somewhere in the
middle potentially.
I'm not even positive to tellyou the truth, but I've heard
him say some very intelligentthings.
Yeah.
Um, I've also heard him say somegoofy things too, but that's
because, you know, whatever.
Um, you know, your Gary Siniseis of the world, your uh Adam

(32:07):
Carolla's of the world, right?

SPEAKER_11 (32:09):
That's that's actually the the example I was
gonna bring up.
If you go back to the man show,right, right, you had Carolla
and Kimmel sitting next to eachother, you know, back when they
were nobodies.

SPEAKER_02 (32:19):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 (32:19):
Really, right?
And that was their first break,both of them, was the man's
show.
Now, Corolla went in a in adirection where he truthfully
didn't get a lot of recognitionand notoriety after that show
ended.
Kimmel, however, jumped and wentinto that and he got
full-fledged into Hollywood.

SPEAKER_02 (32:35):
Right.

SPEAKER_11 (32:36):
And as soon as he did that, and then he got the
tonight show gig and everythingelse, you can see him drifting
further and further left becausehe got isolated.
Where Corolla was the opposite,right?
And he kind of held true to whohe is.
But 20 years ago, they weresitting on the same set, yeah,
watching women on trampolines,right?
Watching young kids like kidsunder the age of 15 saying some

(32:59):
really outlandish stuff andlaughing like crazy.

SPEAKER_04 (33:02):
Remember that kid?
I remember that very well.

SPEAKER_11 (33:03):
Yeah, Kimmel with the blackface and all that other
stuff, right?
That's what he used to be.
Yeah.
But once he got into thatelitist Hollywood crowd, he has
changed completely.

SPEAKER_04 (33:12):
Such a perfect example.
Such a pretty and and I'll tellyou, I'll commend both of them,
uh Corolla and Kimmel, that theyhave actually maintained a
friendship over the years, thatthey are still friends.
Uh Adam Carolla still sayskindly things about him and kind
of gives them a not necessarilya pass, but it counters the
off-puttingness of um of Kimmelwith you know saying that he

(33:35):
knows him personally, he knowshim on a personal level, and he
believes he's, you know, areally terrific guy and a
good-hearted man.
I I have an extremely difficulttime believing that, that that's
the case.
Uh, if you, you know, but uhcredit to him for maintaining
that friendship and not lettinguh you know the vast differences
between them um, you know, andthe friendship.

(33:56):
And most people can't do thatthese days.
And I'll be honest, I don't evenknow if I could uh these days.
I just don't know if I canmaintain a relationship with
somebody who disagreesfundamentally uh morally.
I I think that's the biggestthing.
Like we can agree um as far asreligion is because we got
completely to no problem, noproblem whatsoever.

(34:17):
Um, we could be on differentsides of the political aisle, no
problem.
But when you get down to themoral-ethical uh core of
everything, those values, likeif we can't align on something
that is kind of the core of myexistence, I don't know what
where do we go from there?
So, you know, all just to saycredit to both of them for being

(34:38):
able to do that.
I don't know if I've ever heardKimmel talk about his friendship
with Corolla, though.

SPEAKER_11 (34:42):
Have you?
I never have.
Nope.
He avoids it.
He avoids it completely.

SPEAKER_04 (34:47):
Yeah, because he knows he could get canceled for
it.
Yeah, you know, you can't be youcan't be can't be friends with
the other side, you can't likethe other side.
They're evil, they're fascists,they're fascists.
Speaking of, oh, there we go.
Accidental segue.

SPEAKER_11 (35:06):
So this is right, so this is the perpetual, right?
And I hate using that word, butthat's kind of where we're at
with this.
Charlie Kirk's assassination.
Um, you know, there's been anuptick in violence on college
campuses specifically againstturning point TPUSA uh events.
And we had, you know, we hadIllinois State table flipping,

(35:26):
we had University of Iowa tableflipping.
Um and listen, folks, these thisthis is not new news.
The targeting of TP USA is newbecause we could go back to
Riley Gaines, right?
Being locked in a classroom,fear for her life, right?
We can talk about you knowCharlie Kirk having some um
events, turning point of hisown, you know, before his
assassination where there wassome some issues.

(35:48):
Um but but um you know we hadBerkeley just the other day, uh
and and so turning point USA umevent, and you had Antifa
outside.

SPEAKER_04 (36:02):
Yep, yeah, awful.
Uh here is what that lookedlike.

(36:27):
I mean, just just despicable,just despicable and grotesque.
And and we're gonna talk aboutit in a second, but let me to to
calm everyone's blood pressureuh for one, and there's many
more videos like it from all ofthis, um, but let's calm our
blood pressure just for a momentand take a look at this.

(36:58):
Oh my gosh, I'm such a loser.
I'm already tearing I'm tearingup at that.

SPEAKER_11 (37:01):
Um that's perfect though.
Well well done to you.
Yeah, because thank you theinside versus the outside,
right?
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 (37:09):
Totally different vibe, right?

SPEAKER_11 (37:10):
900, because these are the numbers, the 900 CPUSA
folks on the inside.
And then you've got about 150Antifa uh or associated people
on the outside.

SPEAKER_12 (37:22):
Right.

SPEAKER_11 (37:22):
Uh, and and what ended up happening was four
arrests.
Um, two of them I couldquestionably related.
They actually got in a fightwith each other and both got
arrested.
Um but then there were twopeople that were specifically
from Antifa that got arrested.
Um, I think only one personpotentially got hurt, uh, but
just general stupidity, right?

(37:43):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 (37:43):
Um yeah, well, it's you know, the irony of it, Clay,
right?
You you have these peoplescreaming no fascists or
whatever their little chant wasin order to silence an opposing
view.
Like it never fails.
They never fail to fail.
They are consistently failing.
And I caught this here, I gotone more thing for the I caught

(38:05):
this little short video of thisyoung woman.
And if she isn't the embodimentof the stupidity, the ignorance,
and the I can't even hear it,here it is, take a look.

SPEAKER_06 (38:18):
Here and they are like a lot of organization, and
nobody here agrees with whatthey are saying, and uh
obviously what Charlie Kirk isgoing to be with like a lot of
color competitors or coloredcompanies oh we just think like
I mean, obviously, I I don'treally follow him a lot of
knowing what's going on andknowing what's going on with
like violent.

(38:38):
We don't want to supportorganization, and I don't think
that the Berkeley counselorswould have to let them come
here.

SPEAKER_11 (38:46):
There we go.
I don't know God, I don't likeyou, I don't really know
anything about you.
I have heard what you stand for,and I don't support that.
So therefore you shouldn't beallowed here at all.

SPEAKER_04 (38:57):
And Carrie, you're clearly you must be a fascist
because other people said so.

SPEAKER_12 (39:01):
Yes.

SPEAKER_04 (39:02):
I mean, this is what, you know, this is what
we're dealing with.
This is what we're dealing with,and every single argument that
they have falls apart like ahouse of cards, just by, you
know, you don't even, you justhave to do a little to just blow
on it, just on the house ofcards all falls down because
they have nothing of anyintellect or resonance to say,

(39:26):
nothing to back up thesestatements, and that you know,
that's the part that thatenrages and exhausts all of us
because to kind of lowereverybody's blood pressure, that
car was backfiring.

SPEAKER_11 (39:41):
Those were not gunshots, which truthfully was a
concern.
The people who are standing inthe lobby from TPUSA heard that.
Um, they actually there was aconcern for a few seconds that
they were gunshots.
Um, but you had those idiots inthe car.
Um, you've got some classiccultural uh appropriation with
the head scarves, which isalways great because the you

(40:03):
know, the people who alwayschastise you for cultural
appropriation are the ones whoare appropriating culture, quote
unquote.
Um, so you've got that, you'vegot the screaming, like you
said, uh about fascism and andall that other stuff.
There's a simple solution forthis.
I hate to say this.
The simplest solution is there's900 inside and there's 150
outside.
So all we have to do is blockthe streets off, both ends,

(40:26):
yeah, and open the doors.
And and let it solve itself.

SPEAKER_04 (40:31):
Let it just let it go.

SPEAKER_11 (40:33):
I think I think I hate to say this because I'm not
necessarily advocating forviolence, but as I have said
from being in many parts of theworld and many cultures, there
are people who only, onlyunderstand violence.
Period.
And sometimes you have to teachthem in the language that they
understand.
And and that's unfortunatelywhat is gonna have to happen.

(40:55):
Uh, I think at some point to todo this.
There has to be, there's gonnahave to be some sort of
response, a counter protest ofsome sort.
Um to to let these people knowthat uh it there there is
repercussions for your actions,right?
And sometimes it hurts.
Being stupid hurts, and andthat's how you stop being
stupid, right?
Um and so this is just anotheranother example of you know the

(41:19):
continued uninformed hatredagainst Charlie Kirk and TP USA
by you know people like Lily,Lily Berkeley.

SPEAKER_04 (41:28):
Oh Lily, yeah, it's yeah, yeah.
It's um you know, I I you get sotired of being angry too.
Like I I look at this girl, thisLily, and I think you are
somebody's daughter, you aresomebody's dumb, brainwashed
daughter.
And I I get a little bit mad atthe parents because we always

(41:51):
blame the parents, and as aparent, I know that is a fact
that we always get blamed foreverything.
So I kind of half mean this andI half don't.
But it's like these look likethe products of gentle
parenting.
So can we not right?
Like, can we not like teach yourteacher kid?
You want to do your kid aservice, teach your kid that
their opinion and their feelingsare not the most important thing

(42:15):
in the world.
Being a good, caring,productive, useful to society
and to others is more valuablethan your personal feelings.
They just are.
And you raise them like that,and you will find yourself
producing a very well-equipped,well-balanced, useful human

(42:37):
instead of these dippy kids.
And don't send them to theseliberal colleges for heck's
sake.
Oh my goodness, stop that.

SPEAKER_11 (42:44):
The best news, truthfully, is that this crowd
is the crowd that one believesin abortion and two same-sex
marriages.
So the reproduction value ofthis crowd goes down with every
generation.
And you know.

SPEAKER_04 (42:57):
I mean, that is the most brilliant point of all.
Let let the evolution or lack ofuh evolution itself, right?
Yeah, let it let it handleitself.
We probably oh my gosh, Clay,there's like you've said a lot
of brilliant things, but I thinkthat might be the most brilliant
one I've heard you say of all.

SPEAKER_11 (43:15):
And oh, by the way, and the patriarchy.
So they they really don't wantthat going on.

SPEAKER_04 (43:19):
Yes, hate the patriarchy.
I love that they're gonna beable to do it.

SPEAKER_11 (43:22):
It's all downhill.
It's all downhill for them.

SPEAKER_04 (43:24):
All downhill.
Everybody just sit back, relax,relax, laugh about it, shake
your head, and you know, maybemaybe throw a flying elbow once
in a while, but no, I'm notadvocating violence.
Yes, I am.
Yes, I am.
Yes, I am.
I'm not saying I'm not sayingstart it.
I'm saying finish it if you haveto, right?

SPEAKER_11 (43:44):
Yeah, never, never, never hit first.

SPEAKER_04 (43:47):
Never hit first.

SPEAKER_11 (43:48):
Always hit back.

SPEAKER_04 (43:49):
Yes.
Yeah.
Oh, there's gonna be so manypeople in the comments mad about
that.
I don't care.

SPEAKER_11 (43:53):
They're gonna tell you you're unchristian-like, but
that's it.

SPEAKER_04 (43:55):
No, that's so unchristian of you.
You're a bad Christian else.
I like that.
Yeah, yeah.
I like I like the one.
You ever hear the one?
I know it's a cliche, butthey're like, oh, I'm I'm you
know, I'm from the kingdom, yes,but I'm from the south side of
the kingdom.
So yeah.

SPEAKER_11 (44:13):
Oh, else is dying out.
True, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Folks, we have got agenerational shift happening in
politics in general, butspecifically in Congress.
I went through um, you know, asElsa and I, as I threw this at
Elsa, even I didn't understand,and I knew this was a topic, but
even I didn't understand howsevere this is in the next

(44:36):
election cycle, uh, thechangeover that's happening in
Congress.
And when I say that, so 37representatives and eight
senators are not have alreadysaid they're not running for
re-election.
That's almost 10% of Congress.
This has not happened indecades.

(44:56):
Like it's it's been a long timesince we've seen this much
turnover, voluntary turnover.
Now, a normal election cycle,you're gonna get some older
folks who lose, you're gonna getwhatever.
Um, even obviously you've gotsome folks who even die in
office.
But right now we've got 37 uhplus eight.
We've got 45 uh that arevolunteering to not return to

(45:17):
Congress.
Um, and some some of the bighitters, right?
See the big names, you know,you've got Pelosi who said she's
not coming back, right?
Uh McConnell's not coming back,Durbin, Joni Ernst, Tuberville,
who's not that old in Congress,but a big name, and and even
Nancy Mace, right?
Those folks are either retiringfrom politics or they're
stepping down to try and run forgovernor's office, which is the

(45:41):
case of Joni Ernst, uh,Tuberville, and Nancy Mace are
all running for governor intheir home states.
Um, but you've got some heavyhitters in there.
You also have some folks who areold as dirt who are still
playing on Maxine Waters isplanning on running again,
right?
It's so crazy.
Who's the um the really old?
Who's the guy who got thrown outof the last uh Trump stage?

SPEAKER_04 (46:02):
Yeah, I can I can picture him.
I can picture it.

SPEAKER_11 (46:04):
That old guy, that old guy's running again, right?
No surprise.
Yeah, so there's plenty ofpeople in their early to mid-80s
that are continuing to run foroffice two years from now, a
year from now, or even threeyears from now.
Um, but we've got 10% turnoverguaranteed in the next election
cycle.

SPEAKER_04 (46:22):
Oh boy.
Well, I mean, you know, this issomething we've been all asking
for for ages, right?
Get all of these, you know,decrepit corpses out of there
who, you know, can barely walk.
You got McConnell who's fallingall over the place every two
minutes, stroken out.
And, you know, sorry, I knowit's mean, but I mean, come on
now.
Enough is enough.
This is ridiculous.

(46:43):
Um, but you know, then you addthe next, the scary level to
that, particularly when you'retalking about the left, with
this, these new democrats, theseare, you know, for the most
part, openly socialistdemocrats.
And um, they are taking, youknow, we've talked about this
before in in multiple episodes,that um they are taking over
that party.
And now here's the next bigpower move uh for them to step

(47:06):
into a you know prettysignificant positions uh within
our government.
So that's a little scary.
So we really need to be, youknow, really matching them, you
know, matching fire with fire,really.
And uh I hope that's gonna bethe case because uh we're gonna
have to really be on our toeshere and have real, genuine
fighters um ready to gotoe-to-toe uh against that.

(47:27):
Otherwise, we're in deep troublewith these people.

SPEAKER_11 (47:29):
Well, and the last election just last week is uh is
not a great indicator.
I I mean, so you've got um, youknow, you've got uh uh obviously
Mom Donnie, you know, we've gotrise of socialists across
Congress.
Um there's probably gonna be asocialist mayor in Seattle.
I don't know if you've seenthis.
Um there is uh a young lady whois still taking money from her

(47:50):
parents.
She's married, her husbandworks, and and they still take
money from her very wealthyparents um so that they can
continue to live in Seattle.
Um, but she she's a she's aknown and admitted socialist,
right?
And so and now you talk aboutSchumer being on his way out,
yeah.
Potentially being replaced byAOC.
So now you've got this not justthe old people leaving, but

(48:12):
you've got a generational shiftin ideas to the younger crowd.
It just so happens that theyounger crowd, many of them on
the left are socialists.

SPEAKER_02 (48:20):
Right.

SPEAKER_11 (48:21):
Um and so you're right.
We there's gotta be some very,very pointed, very focused
efforts by the GOP tocountermand or counterattack
those people.
Unfortunately, what both partiesare relying on at this point is
gerrymandering.
Like, yeah, right.
That's the solution, which Ihate personally.
Yeah, I do hate it.

(48:42):
Um, but but that's where thingsare, that's where things are
going, is the gerrymandering isthe solution for a lot of this.
Um, but that doesn't change theideas that walk into the Capitol
building um and into thechambers of Congress.
Um, you know, if you get 50whatever seats out of
California, um, you know, andyou make them all blue, some of

(49:03):
those folks are gonna, you'regonna increase the potential for
population of socialists walkinginto you know the halls of
government for the UnitedStates, which is very scary.

SPEAKER_04 (49:12):
It's extremely scary, and um, we should all be
paying very, very closeattention to this.
So uh everybody be on your toes,be paying attention.
And listen, if you have anyaspirations to get involved in
politics at all, now's the time.
Get involved locally.
And I love to say this to peopleso that they can come back to me
and say, Are you doing that?
Well, no, I'm I'm here.
I'm doing this, guys.
That I'm not going intopolitics, it's not gonna happen.

(49:34):
So that will never happen.

SPEAKER_11 (49:35):
I've had a lot of people tell me that I can't.

SPEAKER_04 (49:38):
Yeah, I could see you doing it better than I
could.
I would prefer to see you doingsomething like that rather than
me, although I don't, becausethen you would have to leave me
and that's not okay.
So never mind to take it back,retract it, did not even say it,
didn't even suggest it.
Um, but that's something I wouldnever I just I don't have the
bandwidth for that kind ofnonsense.
Um, I we got a couple more Ireally want to get to them.

SPEAKER_11 (49:57):
So these are so another shift, another shift.
Um, yeah, I'll probably shouldhave done the other one.
Okay.
Yeah, BBC.
Um, so President Trump is uhJanuary 6th, January 7th speech,
January 6th speech, knowinglyaltered by the BBC, uh, changed
the context significantly, andhe did what he does, which is he

(50:19):
turned around and he told themhe's gonna sue them for a
million dollars.
Yeah, or a billion.

SPEAKER_04 (50:24):
Billions, billions, yeah, billions with a bucket.

SPEAKER_11 (50:27):
They have two of their board members, they're run
by a board, two of their boardmembers immediately resigned.
Immediately.
And they're taking a lot offlack from inside their own
organization that they have losttheir way, they've lost their
journalistic integrity.
Um, they know that PresidentTrump wins these lawsuits hands
down.

SPEAKER_02 (50:45):
Yes.

SPEAKER_11 (50:46):
Um, and because he's done it what what four times
already?

SPEAKER_04 (50:50):
Right, yeah, yeah.
I think this will be, yeah.

SPEAKER_11 (50:52):
So so the BBC is in a bad way.
In a in a bad, bad way.

SPEAKER_04 (50:57):
Really bad way.
And let me let me tell you guys,if you haven't seen it, it's not
just a little bit of editing.
It is it is so bad.
Like, here it is.
This is it.

(51:32):
So um um say what now?
I yeah, he should not back downfrom that, he should sue them
for a billion dollars, bankruptthem, and you know, it's bad
from scratch.
That I mean, that is so bad.
I mean, what what happens herein our media?

(51:53):
Same, you know, close, same bad,same bad.
A little different.
Like, I don't even think oursdid it to that degree, right?
Did we?
I mean, maybe they had maybetheir ones were ones that cut
it.
There's a lot of selectiveediting.
They tend to, you know, theythey go right up to the line
generally.

SPEAKER_11 (52:10):
And CBS is the one that comes to mind with the but
they they edited not necessarilyPresident Trump, but they did do
some of that.
They edited your girl Mamala,Mamala, in favor of her to, you
know, go against him.
So, you know, it's a little bit,it's different in the context.

(52:30):
This one is so blatant.
Um, but yes, lawsuit one billionwith a B, and um immediate, you
know, resignation by a couple ofboard members.
There's a lot of internal strifeat the BBC, including their own
journalists who are saying thatthey they've got some issues
they've got to resolve.
And I would tell you thatthey're gonna get handed an
apology letter from the WhiteHouse, probably written by
Caroline Levitt.

(52:51):
They're gonna read it, andthere's some other people that
are probably gonna get fired,and then uh he will drop the
lawsuit, and and you know,they'll be on their best
behavior until they get caughtagain.

SPEAKER_04 (53:01):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
And this is what has to be done,and this is what needs to be
done.
Every single thing, every singleone of them, you're gonna you're
gonna do that, you're gettingheld accountable, and you're
gonna pay.
You're gonna pay dearly for it.
You're gonna get called out,you're gonna pay all of the
things, and you know, the theworld, not just the country, the
world is gonna know how badlyyou have lied and manipul

(53:23):
manipulated um the opinions ofpeople.
And you know, and I hope itstarts, I mean, how many times
can we say I hope it startswaking people up?
It it does though.
It does, it does wake people.
You have seen, I have seenpeople who have been, what do
they call it, red pilled, youknow, red pilled, they're they
were left, even they callthemselves far left uh at times

(53:44):
or extreme liberal, liberal.
And you know, then it was likejust one thing, one thing tipped
it for them, and they started tosay, hang on a second, if that's
not true, this thing that Ibelieved for so long, if I if
that's not true, what else isn'ttrue?
And you know, and so we can'tget um jaded, we can't get that

(54:04):
jaded that we say so and so isnot saveable or or you can't
change your mind.
You can you can just keeptrying, don't give up, just keep
putting truth out.
Like that's like that's thewhole thing, right?
Just keep putting the truth outfor people and somebody will see
it.
Somebody who didn't believe itbefore, they'll come around.
One person at a time.

SPEAKER_11 (54:25):
Listen, put this on our list for next week.
But okay, if you think that ifyou think that this doesn't
affect international relationswith our greatest ally on the
planet, you're wrong.
Because things are changing.
That relationship betweenEngland and the United States is
changing right now.
Um, and and again, we'll putthat on the list for next week

(54:45):
because it's still developing.
It's some stuff I read today,but uh we'll see how it pans
out.
But uh this may go well beyondjust um bad journalism, folks.

SPEAKER_04 (54:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I I think you're very right, andthat's a great idea.
Um, should I do the last one orshould I do the one that I was
supposed to do?

SPEAKER_11 (55:01):
Um, let's do I'll we'll hit very quickly
Minneapolis because I think thisthis is you know a little bit on
the nose for what we weretalking about before.
Folks, just very, very quicklybecause the last one I want to
do because it's funny, uh Elsapicked a great funny one.
But this um I was not aware ofthis, and and uh a former
intelligence officer, uh friendof mine sent me an article about

(55:21):
this.
And and so what happened in inMinneapolis on Tuesday night,
last Tuesday in the election wasthat um Omar Fateh um was not
elected.
Uh he was the Somali, right?
The very very deliberate, veryoutwardly Somali spoken.
Wait in the flag, yeah, waitingthe flag and all that stuff,
right?
He did not win his election, butwe didn't really know why until

(55:47):
I read this article.
And so um what happened was wehave Somali tribalism, clanism
going on in Minneapolis.
So Omar Fateh, right, is in thesame clan, which is the Daroud
clan, comes from the same clanin Somalia that Ilyan Omar comes

(56:08):
from, right?
She obviously endorsed him formayor of Minneapolis, right?
There is, you know, we I thinkwe've all come to learn that
there's a dense Somalipopulation, transplanted
population in Minneapolis,because if we wanted to move
them from Somalia to the UnitedStates, the the best thing we

(56:29):
could do is put them in thecoldest climate we could find.
Um so dense Somali population inMinneapolis, but there is
another dense clan population upthere, and it's I'll probably
mispronounce it, but it's theHawiah tribe, H A W I Y E clan
um from Somalia.
They refused to support OmarFateh uh for mayor because he's

(56:56):
from a different clan.
We have Somali clan allegiancealliances going on that's
affecting American politics.
And this thing it just sohappened to work out in our
favor, but that doesn't mean itwill always be that way.
Right.
And so, in all of my travels allover the bad places in the
world, what I've tried toexplain to people in Afghanistan
is the best example is Afghansdon't give a crap about being an

(57:20):
Afghan.

SPEAKER_12 (57:20):
They don't.

SPEAKER_11 (57:21):
It is their family, it is their tribe, it is their
religion, and then actually it'sprobably the sect of their
religion, and then theirreligion as a whole, and then
being an Afghan.
Because all the lines on thatmap were drawn by some white guy
from Europe.
They don't care aboutAfghanistan, truthfully, as a
country.
They don't.
This is very much the samething.

(57:42):
Somalis don't really care aboutbeing Somalis, uh maybe third or
fourth priority down the line.
And these are things that we asAmericans are gonna have to come
to grips with because this iswhat's happening inside our
country right now.
And this is not something thatwe have seen in any kind of
recency at all.
You could argue like old Irishversus new Irish hanging around

(58:02):
the turn of the century, um andyou know, the early half of the
1900s, but that's about it,folks.
Like that's that's about theonly old country stuff that got
carried over.
Um, and but now this is a realthing.
And and with these densepopulations um having moved
over, we we have got to do ourpoliticians, our political

(58:23):
strategists now have to docultural analysis inside our own
population centers to make surethat they're hitting the right
voters for elections.
How crazy is that?

SPEAKER_04 (58:34):
It's so crazy.
And, you know, I I blame, Ithink there's two parts of it
that are completely marriedtogether, and that is, you know,
this faction of thesepoliticians um and power people
who are exploiting and takingadvantage of, because it's all
Democrats, it's all Democrats,it's all liberals that are

(58:56):
taking advantage of you knowthat liberal mentality of, you
know, we have to welcome thestranger, welcome everybody in,
and you know, be nice and don't,you know, insult anybody's
heritage or their culture andaccept everybody except for you
know straight white men and youknow, um Americans.
Yeah, um, it it's scary anddangerous, and you can't you

(59:20):
can't discount any of it orignore any of it because that is
exactly how all of this uh hasbeen spreading and will continue
to spread and grow and takeover.
And it's happening right beforeour eyes, and people are still
like, huh?
I don't see it.
You're crazy.
What are you talking about?
That's what scares me.
The number of people with theirheads in the sand.
It always what scares me thatpeople refuse to educate

(59:43):
themselves and and open theireyes.
But um, I can't even I listen, Ican't even segue it.
I'm just gonna jump right intothis, guys.
Are you ready?
I'm gonna read it out loud,guys, because maybe you're you
know making dinner or uh readinga book at the same time.
I don't know, or playing CandyCrush, I don't know.
Tom Brady has cloned his beloveddog, Juno.

(01:00:05):
Judy?
Judy.
I think the dog's name is Judy.
Judy.
Yeah.
Yes, Tom Brady did what all ofus have, like, kind of not all
of us, but a lot of us have kindof half jokingly, half
seriously, have said at one timeor another, like, oh, that was
the bet my that was my favoritedog, best dog I ever had in my
whole life.
If only I could clone my dog.
Well, not only did Tom Brady saythat about his beloved dog, but

(01:00:27):
he gone done it.
Cloned his dog.
It's so surreal to me that thatsomebody has done this or he's
doing this.
Um, so I got some details foryou.
Uh let's see.
His his current okay, I see.
His current dog, Juni, is aclone of his late pickle mix,
Lua.

(01:00:47):
Okay, so I had it wrong.
His his current dog is Juni.
I had it backwards.
Um he hasn't public publiclyconfirmed the specific figure
for his case.
The cloning company involved,which is Baigan, Pets and
Equine, now acquired by ColossalBiosciences, so crazy.
Um lists the service at$50,000for a dog and up to$85,000 for a

(01:01:14):
horse.
I guess I could see it forhorses, because like if you're
talking about like racing horsesand you want to, you know, I
don't know, replicate thewinner.
I can see that they're doingthat, but I know the whole thing
is a heck no.
The whole thing is a heck no.

SPEAKER_11 (01:01:26):
Like from the we've not seen enough movies.
I know, I know.
All goes horribly, horriblywrong.
Horribly wrong.
Right.
So wrong.
You too can clone your favoritepet.

SPEAKER_04 (01:01:39):
Oh, and you know, well, where's the line, Clay?
Where's the line?
Well, you gonna you're gonnaclone your your deceased husband
because he was such a great guy?
You're gonna clone your child.

SPEAKER_00 (01:01:49):
Now bad.
All words.

SPEAKER_04 (01:01:51):
It's really scary.
There, like you said, Clay,there's nothing truly good that
can come from this.
And why?
And my husband said this manyyears ago, and it's never left
my mind.
He said, You know why?
He always said, You know why,honey?
Because people ruin everything.

SPEAKER_12 (01:02:05):
Everything, yes.

SPEAKER_04 (01:02:06):
People ruin right, he's so wise.
Um, people ruin everything.
So everything that is good intheory and in intention and
nature, people, humans willpervert it and destroy it and
make it something ugly.
So, in my opinion, right?
Thank you.
Yeah, in my opinion, it is aflat out no.

(01:02:30):
Don't do it, don't allow it,don't go down that road.
It's not a good road, it willonly lead to bad things.
And, you know, on a verysuperficial level, I'm so happy
for Tom that he, in his mind,got his dog back in some way.
But it's it's honestly it'screepy, it's weird, it's down,
it points down a path of bad,dangerous things that we're

(01:02:50):
probably well on already.
I mean, what was the firstthing?
A goat, a sheep?

SPEAKER_11 (01:02:54):
Sheep.

SPEAKER_04 (01:02:54):
Sheep Sally?
No.

SPEAKER_11 (01:02:57):
Why I don't even know what the name, but I mean,
they're talking about woollymammoths now, they're talking
about extinct, you know, likeJurassic Park kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_04 (01:03:04):
Yeah, here we go.
I mean, did any nobody sawJurassic Park?
This is all sad.

SPEAKER_11 (01:03:10):
But but again, like you said, like your husband
said, Tom Brady's doing this outof completely selfish intention.

SPEAKER_04 (01:03:17):
Yes, yes, completely.

SPEAKER_11 (01:03:19):
That's all it is.
He he could he could go andspend fifty thousand dollars and
probably rescue 50.

SPEAKER_04 (01:03:26):
Yeah, a whole heck of a lot, right?

SPEAKER_11 (01:03:28):
50 dogs for life, right?
Set them up for life.
$50,000.
He could do that, but he's doingit selfishly, recreating this
dog that's gone um for 50k.
You want to talk about FU money,stupid money?
Like that's you're on the highend of things.
Like, this is crazy.
And the simply a just because Ican.
It should be illegal.

SPEAKER_04 (01:03:47):
It should be.
This is not something to playaround with on a whim because
you're you know filthy, rich,and bored and don't feel like I
mean, like, pay somebody totrain the dog that you have,
like pay a trainer.
You can pay for that, you couldpay for a whole bunch of them.
You can train all of the dogs inyour entire neighborhood if you
so so were so inclined.

(01:04:08):
And again, again, fan ofcapitalism.
I'm I'm 100% saying your money,do as you choose with it as long
as it's within the legal boundsof everything and blah blah
blah.
But on the ethical moralityside, morality, all of the
things it is.
Yeah, nope.
Yep, I I agree.
And again, I'll say it again.

(01:04:29):
I get it.
If I, you know, theoretically,if I could clone my German
Shepherd Max, who was such agreat dog, I love that dog so
much.
Yeah, I would love to.
But if somebody said, Okay,let's do it, I would I would say
no, I'm I'm good.
It was a one of a kind, andthat's okay.

SPEAKER_11 (01:04:48):
Like, that's okay.
I've had some great bird dogsalong the way, not doing it.

SPEAKER_04 (01:04:53):
Yeah, yeah, no, just not doing it.
And and again, and it is trulybecause of the slippery slope.
Yeah what's next.
Oh, yeah.
Like what's next and what whatwill happen?
And here we, you know, JurassicPark and the whole darn thing.
So there you have it.
Weigh in on it, guys.
Uh, would you do it?
Be honest.
We're not gonna come at you ifyou're gonna if you would do it
this year.
That's on you.
That's on you.

Gangs armed like soldiers, ashadowy enemy rising from the
past, and one man who refuses tostand down.
From the quiet suburbs to thetowards the Lake Michigan.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
