Speaker 1 (00:00):
Going through some old audio, I came across this.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It was a story in the New York Post that
New Jersey hospitals are now asking parents to quote identify
pronouns and sexual orientations of newborn babies. This obsession is deranged.
This is from the devil. This is purely and simply
(00:29):
from the devil.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
This story is from Holly Shepsy. Sorry, this story is
from Newsmax.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
The person speaking is New Jersey Republican state Senator Holly Shepsy,
admitting that when she saw this story, she thought it
was a fake.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
This can't be true, but it is true. These people
are crazy.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
When I saw it, I thought maybe it was something
made up to be provocatives. So I had my staff
reach out directly to the health network to confirm that
it was indeed real, because you looked at it and
you go, there's no way.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
It's so stupid.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
It has absolutely no.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Efficacy in the medical world.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
And how are they providing this to parents of newborn patients.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
I mean, this is a statement when it's absolutely absurd,
I mean sexualizing a newborn child asking how they identify.
But this is a statement from the New Jersey Department
of Health spokesperson saying that the Department stresses any collection
of sexual orientation gender identity data, it should be done
in a clinically appropriate and culturally competent manner, including patient
(01:47):
populations for which certain data may not be appropriate, as
in the case for newborns. Now, then they recommended that
hospitals develop internal policies and procedures based on clinical advice
to assist employees and collecting such data. Are they trying
to walk back now what they're having mothers fill out
(02:09):
for their newborn babies. I mean, what does this statement
tell you about their reaction?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I think once again, and it's kind of like, as
Van Jones said, Democrats have realized that they've gone too far.
The entire legislature as well as the governor is up
this year in New Jersey, and I think you're starting
to see, once the public expresses outrage, a walking back
of some of the more insane policies that have been
(02:39):
implemented under this administration and under democratic control in the state.
Had this not come to light, had the publicity around
it not occurred, hospital networks were under the impression, based
upon direct communications with Department of Health, that they were
mandated under this law. To provide it to all populations,
(03:02):
regardless of age. I have new legislation that's being introduced
on Monday that is going to specify that minors are
not part and parcel of collection of the sort of data.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And it's going to be interesting to see. Ramon, what
are your pronouns? Brisket in you two? Okay, okay, that's clever.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
You are such a goober, but you know what, you
made your point to be funny, and those are as
good of answers as any. Picking your pronouns is arbitrary,
and I can hear you. I can hear you, and
people who do it have mental issues. Somebody has their
pronouns and their email I mean even Pete Boudagig took
(03:48):
his pronouns out of his email address. People who do this,
you think you're being inclusive. You've being an idiot, is
what it is. Here's a group of white rules explaining
why pronouns matter.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Just because I may present more of them doesn't mean
that I'm any less they them.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
You know that thing where you're eating a meal, but
you're not really eating a meal, You're just kind of
picking a food on the counter. My family and I
were doing that one night, and I just kind of
looked at them and said, hey, guys, I'm non binary.
I don't have a gender.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
In my opinion, gender is a universe. It is a
broad spectrum of planets and stars and sky that truly
cannot be contained into a binary.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
My pronouns are they them theirs, and that's a non negotiable,
and they were all kind of like okay.
Speaker 8 (04:44):
I think one of the main reasons pronouns are so
important is because, other than our name, it's one of
the main ways that people identify and call us.
Speaker 9 (04:53):
My pronouns are personally very important to me going up,
you know, in culture into kind of a system that
really subscribes to toxic masculinity. I was always uncomfortable with
being called dude, you know what's up? Man. I was
so bad at tapping people up, like you know how
(05:14):
like guys like do that whole like like that thing.
I was so bad at that, and it just like
I felt very alienated every time someone would do that
to me.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
So when someone identifies with a pronoun, they're essentially taking
their little piece of that broad universe and identifying with
that and so in using their correct pronouns, we're validating that, yes,
you are right in your identity, and you are important,
and we're respecting you.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
Laverne Cox kind of famously said, misgendering a transperson is
an act of violence, and it is. It's an act
of psychological violence. It's a denial of somebody's personhood and
a complete refusal to acknowledge their identity, whether intentional or not.
Speaker 8 (05:57):
And so it is something that is entirely wrapped around
our everyday lives. So just walking into a restaurant and
hearing someone say she like will happen within two seconds
of me entering, which doesn't happen about any of my
other identities. They're not gonna be like, oh, you straight person,
you know like that doesn't happen. But automatically someone will
(06:19):
make assumptions about gender, which translate into pronouns, which means
that I will hear over and over again people saying
something about my identity which is false.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
And I also don't like that people call them their
preferred pronouns because it's also not a preference, it's who
they are. You need to use those pronouns. It's literally
an extension of my arm or my leg. It's it's
just as a part of me, as a vital organ
my identity, although you can't see it, still needs to
(06:49):
be validated, just as much as you would validate the fact.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Don't you call me? They don't you call Melick.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I was going through my show prep and cleaning out
things that I used and I came across something I
don't think I ever did this story, and I just
realized it. Why is the Federal Reserve in Houston hosting
blatant political events? Since the Federal Reserve has been in
the news a lot, the Houston Chronicle was very upset
(07:28):
that the Federal Reserve was forced to cancel back in
February and a new Trump administration an lgbtq MS thirteen
event because Trump banned Dei, making the CEO of Houston's
LGBTQMS thirteen Chamber of Commerce the victim and thus, as
(07:51):
according to Houston Chronicle, a hero in the article quote
Tammy Wallace said she is no stranger to feeling austinsized.
Prior to helping found the LGBTQMS thirteen Chamber of Commerce,
The fifty six year old said she weathered more than
a decade working in corporate America during a time when
(08:11):
revealing her sexuality could cost her her career. So my
question is, why on Earth did we have a homo
chamber of commerce. Nobody's bothering homos anymore. By the way,
the only people out there screaming and hollering about being
(08:32):
homos are people that other homos don't like. They're people
who want to build some political power, to want to
get paid, They want to threaten boycotts, they want attention.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Nobody gay gives a crap. They don't.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
They're just going about their lives like everybody else. If
you don't like them, so be it. That's your business.
But they're not asking you to do anything special. They're
not trying to have sex with your kid. They're not
trying to go into the schools and read. They're not
trying to wear a bikini out in public and claim
they're all. They just want to be left alone. They
just and a lot of them you don't know they're gay.
They just want to be left alone. And these people
(09:07):
ruin it for them. What do we do with the
homo chamber of commerce? We need to call up, Hey,
I need to I need to buy some flowers. Is
there a gay florist in town. Honestly, I wonder what
it would be like to call Houston's homo Chamber of Commerce.
Speaker 10 (09:31):
Hello, thanks for calling Houston's LGBTQ plus Chamber of Commerce.
We're just like the straight people's Chamber of Commerce, but
with a twist.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
We're day.
Speaker 10 (09:42):
Isn't that wonderful?
Speaker 8 (09:44):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (09:44):
I'd be loud and proud to tell you about our
gay members. Yes, I can recommend a wonderful custom home builder,
custom homo builder and design. They design each home with
a queer eye. Every home standard with a three car gayarage.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
It's like a straight garage, but gay.
Speaker 10 (10:05):
That standard the owner Butch insists on it. Also, no closets,
Butch and his designers no, none of us want to
step foot back inside a closet.
Speaker 11 (10:18):
Am I right?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Or Am I right? I'm right, I'm right, I'm right.
Speaker 10 (10:22):
Every home comes with a standard gadar that's the home
security system. It's a nice feature. I can also recommend
a lesbian couple who makes beautiful window treatments. They own
gold Star Scissoring. It's a fabric store, but they make
custom curtains that are to darve for. We also have
(10:43):
an audio visual company that works hand in hand with
Butch to give you a spectacular.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Home theater system.
Speaker 10 (10:50):
You do not want to set up your theater room
by yourself.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
That can be.
Speaker 10 (10:54):
Such a bear. Daddy's boy home theater.
Speaker 12 (10:57):
It's the way to go.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
We haven't mentioned Lufkin, Texas in a while, and we
have an affiliate there once the home of Charlie Wilson,
Home of a lot of timber and a lot of
our listeners.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Good folks. In Lufkin, Texas, a dude tried to have
some kind of Easter egg hunt.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Popo and Luffkin say they found plastic eggs filled with
weed at the town's parks and motel. They're now actively
searching for a man believed responsible. He posted on social
media about the special egg. Luffkin Popo wrote on the
Facebook page that they are quote actively searching for Avante
(11:45):
Nicholson in connection with plastic eggs containing marijuana placed in
three city parks and a local motel. On April twentieth,
four warrants have been issued for Avante Nicholson. Three of
the warrants are felony three third degree felony delivery of
marijuana in a drug free zone and The fourth is
(12:08):
a state jail felony for delivery of marijuana. Following up
on a tip from a resident about posts they saw
on Facebook, officers found eggs in Morris Frank Winston and
Grace Dunn Richardson Parks and one behind the Motel six.
They'll leave the light on for you for a moment.
(12:28):
The suspect posted four photos on Facebook showing each location
as hints to locate the eggs. He also posted a
photo of five plastic eggs in the seat of a vehicle.
Popo found four eggs and believed he had not placed
the fifth. However, the fifth egg was found by a
man and his granddaughter at Winston Park the following day
and brought to the pop Post station. The deliveries totaled
(12:51):
more than a quarter of an ounce of marijuana. After
a deeper search of the suspect's Facebook page, officers were
able to positively identify Nicholson as the Facebook page owner.
They also found statements referencing selling narcotics on multiple occasions,
and in the post he stated whoever shopped with him
the day of the scavenger hunt would get hints to
(13:12):
the locations of the eggs.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Okay so he's prime in the pulp.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Here a little you know, free giveaway to get people
to follow his I like it. It's very clever, very entrepreneurial.
Comedian Dave Attell says, if you've never seen a pothead
getting arrested, it's a sad affair.
Speaker 13 (13:31):
We need to legalize stuff here. Paw to be legal.
I think everybody in this found right pot. Are you
a pot eye or no? No exactly. You're like at
that age where like if I can't afford coke, I'll
do nothing. Paw to be legal. Have you ever seen
a pote get arrested? It's a sad arrest. Okay, they
hate Kuffham. He has no idea what's going on. He
(13:52):
thinks he's being shown a magic trick. He has nothing,
no idea. What are the cops? The guy is smoking pot,
a silly harmless drug. It's a vitamin in Baltimore.
Speaker 12 (14:05):
I don't even know.
Speaker 13 (14:08):
Oh, watch out, he's smoking pot. He might have a
long story with no ending on him. This guy's a
pot of.
Speaker 2 (14:18):

even probably got more gummy listeners. Now, a lot of
folks are doing the gummy thing.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I'm taking a group of listeners in glad to be
September or October. We do these listener events.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
The third time we've done. We do Aspen in the
summer in Palm Beach and done them in the spring.
This one we're going to do in the fall. And
I expect to visit with President Trump while I'm there,
and I am going to tell him. You know, he
has asked that Fort Knox be opened up and let's
see what's in there. And it is my intention to
(16:24):
tell him that I suspect that it's in a bank
in the middle of Beverly Hills. I don't know how
he'll take that, but that's what I'm going to tell him.
Larry Gatlin born on this day seventy seven years ago.
Gospel country singer songwriter went to the University of Houston.
(16:45):
It was a wide receiver, believe or not, because he's
not very tall if you see him, but he was
kind of built on the on the West Welker model,
little fella. But he did score a touchdown as a
wide receiver in a game that the University of Houston
score over one hundred points in Believe it or not,
I'm going to ask you a trivia question because I
like trivia questions, and you're going to answer out loud,
(17:09):
so the people in your truck if you get it right,
If you get it right, the people in your truck
will be able to know, oh, Dad got the answer right.
In nineteen forty three, this song was banned as what
had it was a marching song for training American airmen,
(17:34):
not Semen airmen. This song was banned because it was
determined to be too lusty. Now, mind you, we're in
the middle of a world war and they're training the
airmen to march to the cadence of this song, and
(17:55):
this song provides the cadence. And they decided that this
song was too lusty, so it was prohibited to be played.
All right, I'll give you another hint if you don't
if you haven't guessed it already, it is a polka
style of music in which it is performed. Is a
polka from nineteen twenty seven, so it was sixteen years
(18:17):
old at that time. It was composed by a Czech
musician by the name of Yaramir Djavoda. Lyrics would be
added seven years later and it would gain worldwide popularity
during World War Two as a drinking song.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
In check.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
The name of the song was Skoda Laski. If I'm
pronouncing that correctly, it would also be known as Rosa mooned.
It was also known as the beer Beer barrel Polka
and the barrel Polka. But you know it best as
(19:04):
roll out the barrel.
Speaker 13 (19:11):
I'm won't turn that off.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
It's too lusty. My goodness alive. The boys are getting
too excited. Turn that, roll out the barrel off.
Speaker 14 (19:29):
The debauchery, have mercy. See, mister President, we're gonna have
(19:56):
to change the training march for the airmen.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
They're like bucks in rut. They're out of control.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
They have become too lusty. Which one do y'all use again?
Roll out the barrel, mister president. Oh yeah, that'll do it.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
When sometimes when.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
When Eleanor is feeling a little frisky and I here
roll out the barrel, I'll think, well, I guess that's
my theme song. And I'll roll on in the living
room and I know.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
She's got her stockings on. She'll put this on and
the old gramophone hums. But it ain't the all thing
that does. It's puts her pink knickers on and I'll
tell you what it takes me back. It does. It
(20:55):
takes me back.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I'm not sure if I if I pointed it out earlier,
but a few days ago, Tilbin Fritida, Houston's own, confirmed
as a US ambassador to Italy and San Marino in
an eighty three fourteen vote. He is expected to step down.
(21:20):
In a letter to the US Office of Government Ethics,
he said that if confirmed, he would resign as CEO
of Landry's. Landry's a pretty far flung enterprise, as you
probably know, which is over six hundred dining, gaming and
entertainment locations. He's also expected to step down as chairman
of the University of Houston System Board of Regents, where
(21:42):
he has made a big difference for that school. It's
amazing what he has done for that school. He will, however,
retain his role as owner of the Houston Rockets. I
will tell you that his son Patrick is more hands
on than he is, something that he has encouraged and
kind of raised him up in that business. And a
(22:05):
fellow named Roel. I think it's Roel who's kind of there,
you know, hired gun guy. They trust basketball guru. But
this is good This is good for Houston. I'm happy
for him. I'm happy his father Vic and his mother
joy Joy or Joyce.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I'm losing my.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Memory, Ramon, it's joy. I'm happy that his family is
getting to see this. His father is is older. I mean,
this is you know, they are of Italian descent. This
is a really, really big deal, and it's an interesting
time with this cute little prime minister in Italy who
(22:53):
broke with Europe and came over to cut her own
deal with Trump on trade. That makes this for Tita
deal very very smart, I mean very very timely. And
for Tita is not just some guy. It's a socialite.
He's going to go there with an agenda. His mind
is a steel trap, and he is ambitious. He's gonna
(23:14):
want he's going to want to increase trade. He's gonna
want to make a difference. He's going to want to
be someone who will have served and you would look back.
You know. When he went on the board of the
University of Houston, he didn't go on to go to receptions.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
He took over. I mean he took over.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
And went to town, got a new basketball arena built,
He started raising money a medical center. I mean, University
of Houston is the better before My UH undergraduate degree
is worth more because of his service than it would
be if he hadn't.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
And that's a fact. There is no doubt in my
mind that the institution is better today.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
You need a good urban UH university in the city
of Houston, and we got it. We We've got it.
Rice is a different deal. It's a it's a it's
a small private school. You need a good urban university
and people can can have a job by day, they
can work and and and I'm very grateful for that.
Tilban is also a sponsor of our show, of which
we are grateful, and uh, I think he's done a
(24:18):
lot for the city.
