Speaker 1 (00:00):
Great news America.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Thanks to the courageous paid protesters that were dropped off
on buses and handed signs and told exactly what to
chant repeatedly all day long, America has no king. Now.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
This weekend, brave Americans took to the streets to protest
the monarchy. Yes, the monarchy. They marched, they chanted, they
posted selfies, and by golly, they won.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
What do we want now?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
When do we want it? Also unclear? Why do we
want it?

Speaker 5 (00:41):
Because it was forwarded to us, so it must be true.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Today America officially has no kings. It's a historic moment because,
as everyone knows, there was absolutely a king to overthrow. Apparently. Now,
if you were really looking for kings, you might have
missed your chance a few years back back when the
royal court told you which businesses were essential, when the

(01:08):
peasants could buy socks at Walmart, but Mom's diner had
to close its doors forever, or when the crown decreed
you couldn't work unless you took the royal jab. That
was the closest thing we've had a monarchy in centuries,
and it came with daily press briefings instead of royal decrees.
But don't worry the folks who acted like Kings back then,

(01:30):
they're still out there handing out pitchforks and warning everyone
to rise up against the tyranny, which is rich coming
from the people who built the castle.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
What do we want now? When do we want it?
Also unclear?

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Why do we want it? Because it was.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
So ah, yes, another flop, But you ever stop and
thinking about the fact that this was a completely gemmed
up issue. There are people paid a lot of money

(02:12):
and they say, all right, we're gonna need to distract
from Trump's success. We got to keep the people constantly
Pavlov's dog. You know, you got to get them salivating.
We've got to give them a reason. You got to
get them all fired up. What can we do? No

(02:33):
Kings was not, in my opinion, a really inspired choice,
but that's what they choose. And then they start the
machine into place. They go down the democratic hierarchy, like
like the KPO, down to the street level. You've got
each one gets paid along the way, and they've got
this this machine of an army. There's a logistics effort

(02:57):
to this. You got to get the signs printed handed
to them, you got to get the shirts on them.
You got to make it look like, you know, they
all chose to be out here. And there are lots
of interviews and we'll play some of these on the
evening show today of people who said, yeah, we were
paid to be out here, we don't really know, and
so they create this moment and then all the media

(03:17):
covers it, Yeah, no keys, as if this just spontaneously occurred.
And then Trump has to bother to say, no, I'm
not a king, and then it's figure of the house
is no, he's not a king, and we're all over here,
no they're not kings. But there is a success in
and of itself that you can control the American mindset

(03:41):
and the conversation in this way. If you spend a
certain amount of money, you simply create this whole, this
whole funeral that did not exist organically. It is not authentic.
It is not a grassroots movement the way the tea
party was. It is planned in an office room and

(04:04):
the orders are sent down, and then the people come
out to the streets and they chant and they do
their thing, and then the whole thing is over and
everybody goes home. And the performative experience at Kabuki theaters
has occurred yet again.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
I mean, it really is.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
When you step back, it's profoundly absurd.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
This a tomad.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
My guess is more Texans have heard of the Yano
Estacado from Gary P.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Nunn song than any other single place.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
It was on this day four hundred and eighty four
years ago October twentieth, fifteen forty one, in a letter
to the King of Spain, that Coronado was the first
to describe the Yano Estacado staked plane. Fifteen forty one,
Spanish explorer Oh, hold on, I lost my screen. Hold on,

(05:09):
play something nice for the people. Jimmy, I just lost
my screen. Oh there we go, all right. On this
day in fifteen forty one, the Spanish explorer Francisco vicequezde Coronado,
in a letter to the King of Spain, became the
first man to describe the vast Yano Estacado. The Yano
Estacado Staked Plains, the southern extension of the High Plains

(05:33):
of North America, is a high mesa lying south of
the Canadian River in northwest Texas and northeast New Mexico.
Coronado had been appointed in fifteen forty to lead an
expedition to the seven cities of Cibola, wondrous tales of
which have been brought to Mexico by Alvar Nunez Cabeesa

(05:54):
de Vaca. Coronado found no gold in Sibylo in western
New Mexico, but he was led on by stories of Quivera,
a region far to the east. It was during his
search for Quivera that Cornado came upon the Yano Estacado,
which he described thusly, I reached some plains so vast

(06:16):
that I did not find their limit anywhere I went,
although I traveled over them for more than three hundred leagues,
with no more landmarks than if we had been swallowed
up by the sea. There was not a stone, nor
bit of rising ground, nor a tree, nor a shrub,
nor anything to go by. Future explorers echoed his impressions

(06:36):
of the region, and development did not begin until the
eighteen seventies, though it proceeded rapidly thereafter. Indeed, the Yano
witnessed the most rapid development of any section of the state,
progressing from an economy based on unfenced public grazing land
to a modern industrial economy within half a century. The

(06:57):
region's population in eighteen eighty was only one on thy
eighty one. A century later, it was more than nine
hundred thousand.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
The Yano Esticado. What was the song that Gary P.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Nunn mentions that in I got to stop and think
for a second. Going in, I got Westchester Cathedral in
my mind right now, so it may take me a
moment to get to it. The Department of Justice has
indicted two Antifa goons on terrorism charges over the July
fourth attack at an ICE facility in North Texas that
wounded an officer. The story from Fox four DFW.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
FBI director Casptel dubbed the charges for the fourth of
July ice attack in Alvarado as first time ever, calling
it the first time the DOJ has prosecuted someone for
an Antifa related terrorism charge.

Speaker 6 (07:48):
I think the FBI director on the Justice Department have
been trying to make it seem like somehow this prosecution
relates to that designation, and it doesn't.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
The indictment was until Thursday. The ambus style attack happened
on the fourth of July at an ICE facility in Alvaredo,
south of Arlington. Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evitts are named
in the indictment in charge with providing material to support terrorism,
attempted murder of a federal and assisting officer, and discharging
firearms during attempted murders. I spoke to former assisting US

(08:23):
Attorney John Elms, who told me these terrorism charges would
have been the charge regardless if these people were in
or not in a designated terrorist organization.

Speaker 6 (08:33):
I want people to understand that this was not a
situation where the government has searched out and found people
who were members of Antifa and are prosecuting them, but
cause their members of Antifa. These people are being prosecuted
because of the ambush in the late night hours on
July fourth on a federal facility that resulted in them

(08:56):
shooting at people and shooting a law enforcement officer in
the that and.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Alvaredo Police officer was shot in the neck during the incident.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
The officer survived.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
These charges come a few weeks after President Trump signed
an executive order classifying Antifa as a terrorist organization.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Helm says these.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Charges would have been brought by the DOJ regardless of
what party the president is in.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
This prosecution has been going on for months. The indictment
just came out, But all the charges and all the
tools have been around for years.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
You know, FAFO.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Has a new meaning when it comes to this. There
were no Kings Rallies in Canada, which is interesting for
two reasons. Number One, you're Canadians, not Americans. I know
you'd like to be Americans. I know you would, but
you're not. So you don't need to worry about what

(09:57):
we're doing, except that you all want to end up
at some point or another, and so you think of
yourselves as kind of Puerto Ricans or Guamians in that
one day you might get to live here if you're lucky.
But the even better part of that of no Kings
Rallies in Canada is that Canada has a king. Canada

(10:22):
is actually a constitutional monarchy. The head of state in
Canada is not the Prime Minister. It is the King
of Canada, who is King Charles the Third, who became
the King of Canada after his mother, Queen Elizabeth I,

(10:42):
passed in September twenty second, making him automatically her by
succession her next in line. The Canadian monarchy is real.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
In fact, I wrote it down here. Let's see.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Oh yeah, in Canada His official title is Charles the Third,
by the grace of God, King of Canada and his
other realms and territories, Head of the Commonwealth. No kings,
no kings, Actually you have a king. Well, we don't

(11:19):
want Trump to be king. He's not trying to be.
You have a king already. But we're opposed to kings,
but you have a king. How are you opposed to
kings when you actually have a king. The irony of it,
all of people taking to the streets saying no kings

(11:43):
when they have a king.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, we mean no kings in America.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Oh, so kings for you, But you don't want kings
in another country because you're opposed to kings in other
countries but not in your own. How much did they
pay you? What price dignity? How does that work? Do

(12:12):
they pay you in cash? What do you do with
what they gave you? To stand around all day with
your sign that says something that you don't understand or mean?

Speaker 1 (12:22):
How sad are you? I knew there was a song.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Mentioning Leano esticado. Somebody sent me a message at Couter
Graul had a song.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Called Yano Esticado.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
We'll see if we can find it in play it
coming up. I'm partial because I grew up in Texas,
but I don't know of another state that people talk
about driving their state the way we Texans do. And
I have talked to people about that, even California, with
the beauty of California and their politics aside, there is

(12:56):
no doubt that California is glorious.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Really, really is.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Much of the allure of California was lost for you because,
like most things, when something is beautiful or glorious or
wonderful in some way, it gets overcrowded. Everybody wants to
be there, and that happened to California when you I

(13:24):
had an opportunity to fly the the Pacific Coast Highway
p CH in.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Evening drive time traffic, and we drew. We flew from.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Los Angeles down to pretty far down south into to
the to the Mexican border and back, and the traffic
was just still. At one point we hovered and the
traffic was just still, and people were spending several hours
in traffic. Now, I know some of you are saying, ck,

(14:01):
it takes me that to get home to Katie, but
this was far worse. I mean, they weren't moving at all.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
It was awful. But even Californians.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Don't brag about the beauty of driving along the Pacific
Coast and beautiful water and all that. The way we
do driving the mostly internal portions of the state, there's
no water body to look at. It's just our people,
and that says a lot about the state, and I

(14:33):
don't want that to change. The funniest thing about the
No Kings event in Hawaii is that it had to
be rebranded to the No Dictator's Rally because Hawaiians had
kings and they loved them. The first No Kings March
on June fourteenth came two days after the entire state

(14:56):
of Hawaii had a hollow day called King come a
Heei Maha.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Kamahi Maha Day. How'd I do on that? Chad Kamahe
Kameha Comeha Maha Day.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
So two days after King Kameya Maha Day, they had
a No King's event. Well that's weird. So the No
Dictators Rally on Saturday met on the corner of poh
He po po He Pahe and Kamehameha, named for the King,

(15:34):
and po Ha pa ouh po Ahi po Ahi is
named for Bernice pau Ahi Bishop, who was a member
of the Hawaiian royal family. Her trust today is valued
at over fifteen billion dollars, making it one of the
largest charitable trusts in the US. Of course, there's been
massive scandals regarding the trust, with trustees actually going to jail.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
In addition to the state's love of.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Kings, one of the biggest events in Hawaii is annual
international hula competition in Hilo called the Mary Monarch event,
named in honor of the last King of.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Hawaii, which is King Kalukawa.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
He was known as the Mary Monarch because he loved
a party and fought back against the Christian theocrats who
pushed previous kings to do away with hula. Well that's
sort of awkward, isn't it. Let's have a no King's Day,
all right. Make sure that Hawaii's included. Oh, they actually like.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Kings in Hawaii. This is going to be weird. Yeah,
what do we do about that?

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Jackie Norris, the Des Moines, Iowa school board member who
hired the illegal alien superintendent and who previously served as
Michelle Obama's chief of staff, announces that she's dropping out
of the Iowa Senate race. In typical Democrat fashion, she
plays the victyctim card, saying she's been subjected to vicious,
coordinated attacks after the news of her role in hiring

(17:06):
an illegal alien with the criminal record a superintendent for
Des Moines Schools became a national story. The story from
KCCI TV in Des Moines clip number six sabon.

Speaker 7 (17:19):
In a statement Thursday morning, Jockie Norris said she's ending
her bid for the Democratic nomination for US Senate partially
because of the developing situation with former superintendent Ian Roberts.
She says the crisis demanded her full attention, but also
put her in the crosshairs of quote vicious and coordinated attacks.

(17:40):
Days after Roberts's arrest by Immigration and Customs enforcement, Noras
told casey CI she was focused on the districts, not.

Speaker 8 (17:47):
Her campaign right now.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
I'm focused on doing my volunteer job, and that is
chair of the school board, and I'm so proud to
represent this district.

Speaker 7 (17:54):
Casey CI's political analyst Dennis Goldford says the issue has
eclipsed her campaign.

Speaker 8 (17:59):
If she had continued to campaign, all we would have
heard abouts at least if she tried to get a
message out would have been this particular problem at the
school board, so she never would have been able to
get past that. So this is not surprising at all.
It is a recognition of political reality.

Speaker 7 (18:16):
With Norris out of the running, Democrats Nathan Sage, Richard Cherson,
josh Turick, and Zach Walls will compete for the Blue ticket.
Republicans Jim Carlin, Ashley Henson, and Joshua Smith will compete
for the GOP nomination. Oldver says it's likely that Norris
had supporters who hoped to vote for her in the
Senate race. Now they'll be forced to look to other candidates.

Speaker 8 (18:37):
When one person like that drops out, the question is
where do those actual and perhaps might have been likely
supporters go at this point, So it's reshuffling the deck.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
But do you notice how these people just continue.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
So she's Michelle Obama, chief's staf goes on to be
worth no telling what kind of habit she was wreaking.
Then she's chairman of the board of trustees for the school,
and now she was running for the state Senate.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
These people are there like prolific serial killers. They just
keep going. Remember Stacy Abrams, the.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Big, fat black woman with a Gapner too, who sweated
all the time. She ran for governor. She lost, but
came disturbingly close to winning. And then she claimed that
she had been cheated, and we found out later that
she had cheated. And then when Trump was cheated in
twenty twenty, they said it's a threat to democracy to

(19:39):
claim that there had been cheating after they had all
said she had been cheated. Well, she started a charity
called the New Georgia Project, and she got rich of
that charity. It was also run by Senator Raphael Warnock,
who is also, in addition to being a senator, a

(20:02):
pastor m HM. The Governor Brian Kemp's office set in
a statement, Georgian's everywhere can rest easy tonight, knowing that
there was one less way for Stacy Abrams to fleece
people and get rich. I'm not sure she was fleecing anybody.
I think that was a way to funnel money to her.
I really do, and I think everybody knew it. Abrams

(20:25):
founded the New Georgia Project in twenty thirteen. US Senator
Raphael Warnock, a close Abrams, ally served as the group's
CEO from twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen. New Georgia Project's
goal was to register more non white and young voters
in Georgia and to urge them to turn out. The
organization was credited with helping Abrams turn out more votes

(20:46):
in her twenty eighteen Georgia gubernatorial campaign. She lost, but
went on CNN and MSNBC to claim repeatedly that she
who was the actual winner. In fact, she was calling
herself the governor. Back In January of this year, New
Georgia Project received a historic find by the Georgia State
Ethics Commission for violating numerous campaign finance regulations. The Ethics

(21:07):
Commission found the group illegally had illegally done election work
for Abrams and others without disclosing their campaign contributions and spending.
They were fined three hundred thousand dollars. A US Senate
panel is now investigating Abrams used for about two billion
dollars in federal infrastructure funds she used on another group,

(21:27):
Power Forward Communities or in that queue, they just sit
around like a Wayne's World episode, and they just come
up with one of the silliest progressive terms. We can
use power, okay, powers, good power, yes, power okay, we
need to have a word. We need to have action.

(21:48):
We got to have action.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
Forward, yes, forward, power forward, but we need something that
reflects that all the poor people in this together.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Power forward.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Communities yes, communities, yes, that's always the word that'll do.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Communities well.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
We were told that Harris County was broke, despite the
fact that they're collecting record revenues and taxes are higher
than they've ever been. But then they found the money
for the Gay Softball World Series. Jim, can you find
the Gay Softball World Series? Tim Waltz response, And now
we get this In a four to one commissioner's vote,

(22:37):
only Tom Ramsey disagreeing. They approved more than a million
dollars to Democrat groups for illegal alien assistants to fight
deportation orders. How about that the million dollars plus will
go to the Immigrant Legal Services Program Fund or A
Fund Program or ILSF, which was created by commissioners in

(23:01):
November twenty twenty to provide deportation defense services. Rodney Ellis says, quote,
as ice raids ramp up and federal attacks target communities
of color, Oh, there's that word communities again. It's essential
for Harris County to do everything we can to protect
our residents, no matter their immigration status. Having access to

(23:25):
legal representation not only improves case outcomes but helps keep
families together. You know what else it does? It puts
money into the pockets of your friends who are criminal
defense ATTORNEYSH. Yes, So you say, hey, we're helping the illegals,
But guess who else you're helping?

Speaker 1 (23:46):
The rich criminal defense attorney buddies of yours. Oh yes.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
In a county as diverse as ours, local government must
step up to safeguard safety, justice and the people we serve.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Do you serve them? Really?

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Five organizations will split the handouts. Baker Ripley Ah, baker Ripley.
H baker Ripley. That's a real doozy there. Baker Ripley House. Yes,
baker Ripley House is where the Hispanic politicians go to
get theirs. Baker Ripley House is sort of the combination

(24:26):
of Sheila Jackson, Lee Rodney Ellis, Sylvester Turner and all
the other the sort of black cabal. Well, Baker Ripley
was the answer to that, because you know, we Hispanics
need our share. So baker Ripley tends to be a
place that former Hispanic City Council members, state reps, state

(24:46):
senators staffers where they all go to get theirs. Then
we've got the Galveston Houston Immigration Representation Project. I don't
know who's involved with that, but I'll bet if you
dig into it, it's former Rodney Ellis staffers. Justice for
All Immigrants, Man, You people are really really worried about

(25:07):
people from other countries and not the people in your
own district, aren't you If only the people in your
own district could realize you people would be better off
if you were here illegally than if you live here.
Kind all caps ki nd ink, Well, that sounds nice.
I bet there's still in a lot of money. And
the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Service,

(25:31):
Pining Point Mayor and Republican candidate for Harris County Judge
Eliza Dutt Toll commissioners. Our deputies are stretched thin, and
families are being crushed by everyday living expenses. This is
what is wrong with Harris County under Democrat leadership. They
put illegal aliens first and taxpayers last. And the worst
part is the dumb Democrats the voters. They will continue

(25:57):
to vote for it. They will can continue to vote
for their own displacement and replacement. They will continue to
vote for people who are rewarding themselves and their friends
and the illegal aliens to their own detriment, and all
the while think that we are their enemies. That's the

(26:19):
ultimate stupidity, that's the dumbest of them all. How stupid
do you have to be to realize that thirty years
as your congressman and Sheila Jackson Lee didn't do a
damn thing to help you, thirty six years in public life,
and what did Sylvester Turner do to help you? Oh,

(26:40):
he helped himself. I mean, I guess you can go
to his estates sell and buy some of the stuff
that he bought off of all of that. Rodney ellis
been an elected office for thirty five years, and what
have you gotten from it?

Speaker 1 (26:55):
As your community?

Speaker 2 (26:57):
As three four five young black men in your neighborhood
have been shot and killed, the only thing they fight
for is that those people that kill them be back
out on the streets.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
And you can't get a coffee shop.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Or a grocery store in your neighborhood because nobody wants
to be in that neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
The infrastructure's terrible, and all the while.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
They keep telling you hate whitey, hate whitey. I got
news for you. Whitey ain't your problem.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
White. He ain't the one stealing your money. White. He
ain't the one replacing you. White. He's too busy worried.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
About himself that he ain't worried about you.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
But that's all right. Keep voting on it however you
are
