big picture they want you to see is the main
draw for the landing page is Thursday February twenty. So
I'm thinking, okay, well click on today because that's today. No,
(03:22):

Then over here in the left hand corner is national
and in big red letters is the word today. So

Now he's yelling at the old man. He says, no,
look over here, click on today. Well there is across
the top there are one, two, three, four, five tabs,
sa tabs, six tabs, seven tabs. Because this thing is
for this is a horrible website.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Horrible.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Whoever designed this needs to just go to squares go
somewhere and just do your own website.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I think it's because you've got the old man magnifier
on your Mac, so it's you know, so it's not
quite formatted properly.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
So if you would to, you know what regular it
would be proper.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
When I decrease the magnification, that today in videos is
still together. It never it never separates. So while you
may because apparently this is something Kaminsky lights.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Yes he does like the national Days.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Okay, so apparently you have, over the course of years
figured out how to navigate this piece of crap website.
So someone looking at it for the first time being
told by someone yelling.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
At them at six o'clock in the morning, click on today,
click on today.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Well, there's like twenty places that say today, you've got today,
you've got nationals, Today, you've got feature today, you've got
Today's holidays.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
View Today's holidays somehow or no, you head over to
the twenty second for reason.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I don't know how you did that.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Well, so I I, uh, well, let's just go let's
just skip all of.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
That crap and go straight to view today's holidays.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yes, now, as I said, the first one is now
to show you how bad this website is. When you
click on Today's holidays, the page it takes to you
shows today's holidays. But over in the corner was a
thing that had November holidays in February. I don't know
(05:31):
why it has that. Now it's gotten to an ad
to slip over to an ad today for some Oh
it's a pharmaceuticalad. Imagine that it's a pharmaceutical ad for
something called creon. Would you take something called creon? I mean,
whoever the marketers were, Hey take creon? Uh, crayons?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Neon?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Just how long the list of side effects are?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Let's see? Uh, something I miss something about pigs. If
you're having different culty paying for your medicine, ABBYV may
be able to help. Visit abbv dot com pasient access

for you to think about that. Think about cleaning out
your bookcase today or today is also great American spit out.

that one away.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
It's such a you know what? So what happened was
the battery dead?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
This morning? Was another seat belt broken? Did say something?
Why are you ragging on me so much today?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
You don't want to get me on that seatbelt missus Redbeard?
I love you, But when you choose to go to
a dealership, you get dealership prices.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Is it done?
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Do not be astonished when you go. Well, that's a
lot more than I thought it was going to be. Yes,
yes it is.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Have you picked it up?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
No, not yet.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
But did you call to see if it was ready?
She did?
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Yeah, they gave her a price yesterday.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
And so also it's not even they just gave her
the price yesterday.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Lame.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Today is Thursday, huh? Now know Monday was a holiday.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Right, But you dropped it off on Tuesday. Tuesday for
an appointment that she has.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
She had an appointment on Tuesday, So I thought the
appointment was for them.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
To do the work, right.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
That's what we thought too, But that was just an
appointment time.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
So that was an appointment to drop it off. And
they don't give you a price until to yesterday.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yesterday when when they actually finally get to it.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Yeah, so did they tell you before I before I
asked the price because I do want to know the price.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Did they tell you what was wrong?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
They may have told her, yes, but frankly, she went
up to them and said, I want my seat belt replaced.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
So whatever what was wrong with it, don't know, didn't matter.
She just wanted it fully replaced, okay.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
So to replace it, and this is the driver's side,
I assume correct, And this is a jeep, Yes, cheap
compass okay, And to replace a seat belt on the
driver's side of a jeep Compass calls you?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
What?
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Yeah? Exactly that much.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
You don't want to say, I'll tell you, but I'm
not telling them.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Oh you didn't tell them. Oh I didn't see I
didn't notice the microphone. Oh but I can't tell them.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
You know, you go to a dealership, you get dealership prices.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Uh, that's about.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Twice what I thought.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Probably twice.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah, yeah, I was just say I was just say
maybe a little more than twice, but not quite more
than but yeah, at least twice I thought it was
gonna be. Okay, any guesses out there, what was gonna
cost dragon to replace the seat belt and driver's side
of a jeep jeep compass? Let us know, anyway, today
is also great American spit out. Now I have to
(09:45):
every day when I finish the program, I have to
take my laptop and I have to clean my what
I have to wipe my laptop down with, you know,
a special cleaner for the screen.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Because you talk a little like telveth sir, full life
all over.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Let me just say to you a whole what just
because you're mad about having to spend that much money
to replace a seat belt doesn't mean you have to
take the rest of the day out on me. Okay,
let's just let's just we We still have three hours
and forty five minutes to go, and if we kill
(10:29):
the politics and if we keep going down this path,
it's gonna be really nasty. But time we get to
ten o'clock, So it just suggest that you you just.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Kind of back off a little bit so.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
That it says great Americans spinout day all I can
think about is by the end of the program, I
have to wipe my screen because as I talk, as
I speak, as I speak quite animatedly, I tend to
get a little spittle on the screen, and I have
to clean it off, or I could just be like
(11:04):
the monitors here that nobody's cleaned in years, and you
can barely see through it because it's so covered between
spittle and dust and whatever it is. The Martino and
Kapalists and you know, and who knows what Ryan does
in here. Ryan's probably eating his grilled cheese sandwich and
French fries. Well, actually, you know his poutine. He's eating
grilled cheese sandwiches and poutine and just spitting the poutine
(11:27):
all over the monitors. You can't read crap on these,
I mean, well you can't read crap because that's what
these monitors look like.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You know.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
If they wanted me to, like although I just signed
a new contract, if they wanted me to quit, they
put new monitors in here because I wouldn't be able
to handle it. I mean, it's stu bright. I can't
see it. It's like I can't read it. It's too bright.
Today is also Hoodie who day, Hoodie Who Day?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
What's a hoodie who?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Well, you can.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Click on and it will tell you Hoody Who Day
is on February twenty. If you're sick of the heaters,
coats on, sweaters, red noses and boots.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Mark the end of.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Winter with fun as you join your community to say
goodbye to winter. Spring is a beautiful season of the
year that we always look forward to. We cannot wait
for winter to end, so we shout hoodi who on
hooty Who Day. Here's the history of Hooty Hoo Day. Uh,
Hoody Hoo Day was a stablished i just like saying
(12:33):
who hooty Who Day. He was established by the owners
of Welcat and is set on a day exactly a
month before spring. On Hoodi Hoo Day, people in the
community gather in a place at noon, wave their hands
and shout hoody who to say goodbye to winter and
welcome to spring. Spring is a beautiful season where the
flowers bloom, the sun is warm and pleasant, children grow faster,
(12:56):
and animals give birth. However, it has its dawn side. Man,
this this, this is a piece of crap website. You
build us up about how great it is because we're
mon month away from springing and all back. By the way,
it's when spring arrives. This paragraph says it is also
a season where diseases spread spread faster, is considered a
(13:19):
bad time to have children. More tornadoes occur during spring
than any other season of the year. Well, then, HOODI,
who here come the tornadoes? Hoody, who here comes the diseases? Nevertheless,
we cannot help but look forward to feeling the warm
sun on our faces and the cool breeze blowing through hair.
Spring is a special season in many places. Who started
(13:41):
this stupid thing? A wellcap? And if you ever wonder
what HOODI who means? We're not sure either, but it
was first used in the Andy Griffith Show, meaning how
are you in country slang hood who? I challenge you
to walk up to your cowork today, or your spouse,
(14:02):
or your girlfriend, or your boyfriend, or even your pet,
since it's National Love your Pet Day and just say.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Who do who?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Who do?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Who? Who do you who?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
It's also National Terry Pie Day. I can get into
that National Comfy Day. On this day, push yourself to
be totally comfortable no matter the circumstances. Let's get comfy now.
This is the one I'm going to celebrate because I
fit both of these. This is National Day of Solidarity
(14:37):
with Muslim, Arab and South Asian Immigrants. This is characterized
by a show of support to the affected groups and
the organizing of special events to rebuke unjust treatments meeted
out on them in the United States following the infamous
(14:58):
September eleven attacks. What many Americans have long spoken against
the trampling of Muslim and Arab immigrants rights? Where where
did we trample out Muslim or Arab American immigrants rights?
(15:18):
Get them? Okay, Dragon, this is your website National Handcuff Day,
so you and missus Redbeard today, can you know, in
celebration of the amount that you're going to spend on
replacing the seat belt, you can engage in a little
bdsm Although my guess is you'll be the one wearing
(15:41):
the handcuffs and you'll be the one with a stiletto
heel smash right into your left eye.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, you'll come in wearing an eye patch tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
You'll feel better than pay for the seatbelts.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
National Leadership Day. I am a horrible human being. I
absolutely know that. It's also in case you want to
wear your handcuffs. It's National Muffin Day? Can you think
of something more universally Can you think it's something more
(16:19):
universally loved than muffins?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Can you?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
It's also National Whistleblower Reward Day, and we finally get
to after being screamed at by my producer about.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Stupid old man. Can't you find anything? Just go here?
Go here?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
So, after scrolling through at least three fourths of the page,
we finally get After National Muffin Day, I skip National
Student Volunteer Day, National Whistleblower Reward Day. Oh now we
get to No Politics Day for all those who want
(16:59):
to break from the talk about elections and even speeches
from the newly elected. No Politics Day on February twenty
is just your kind of celebration. This event used to
be observed on February one until twenty twenty. The celebrations
are meant to so that's kind of interesting. The election
(17:20):
of Joe Biden and suddenly they want no politics, huh.
The celebrations are meant to help people move away from
the constant political talk, even if only for a day.
This event makes a refreshing statement. It aims to bring
people of opposing views together in peace, laughter and fund Yeah,
(17:40):
bite my ass. Here's the history. The profession itself is
EON's old and is a vital and noble activity. Even
Aristotle agreed he viewed ethics and politics as being intrinsically linked.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Well, there's our problem.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Aristotle said that ethics and politics were intrinsically linked. I
think that has been broken. This was started by Bob
Matthews from Rochester, New York.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
The day is.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Unofficial dragging, bringing up the book Deadly Indifference.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I tried reading that thing once, but.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I was neither here.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Nor there on it.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Oh, I'm sure it's a real page turner.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
So what is today?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
I mean, if I scrolled further down on the National
Today Day stupid website that you, apparently you and Kaminsky
just think is the greatest thing since I don't know,
war in peace or something. We'll finally just this on
Michael Brown Day Today? Is that what it is?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
It's a woman in blue jeans day? Also, that's a
line in.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Isn't that a line in Neil Diamond song?
Speaker 5 (18:52):
I'm sure it must be.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yeah, women in blue jeans or something?
Speaker 5 (18:55):
Okay, devil in a blue dress it was devil in a.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Blue dress, blue suede shoes. There's all of that Jen blues,
blue Jeen blues. That's right.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Uh, let me just say that first of all, Yes,
I'm disappointed that Dragon didn't go to the garage for
his repair. But the reason Dragon didn't go to the
garage is because Missus Redbeard wanted a dealer to do it.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Well, we went to our local favorite shop that's not
very far away. And yeah, they looked at it and goes,
you know, I feel comfortable doing that here. It's a
safety issue. You really should go to the dealership. So
that is all Missus Redbeard heard after that was dealership only.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Yes, So okay, yes, and we will say that since
you can't see the text line, one of you guess correctly.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
You probably work at the dealership.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
You probably, you probably do work at the dealership. You're
probably the one that made the quote. But I also
love the one that guessed a certain amount based on
how many times you went. That's pretty clever.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Bo I can't.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
However, he can't, right, he can't cough that many times
without just driving us all crazy. Well, he's already driven
me crazy, and that's all it's not even seven o'clock yet, Chimney.
And you know I came in in such a good
mood today too. That that's the other thing I kind.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Oft is that because it's World Anthropology Day or World
Day of Social Justice.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Oh well, see, now there you need to treat you know,
I feel like I'm being diss I feel like I'm
not being treated with the kind of social justice, the
kind of equity and inclusion that I deserve. And if
you keep this up, I'm going to sue you and
iHeart for dissing me.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Today.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Bring out your inner activists and promote the growing importance
of social justice.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Did you say the word social justice?
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Against social justice?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Now you know how I feel about hate crimes. You
also know how I feel about excuse me, so unprofessional
to me. But you know, since we don't have a.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Cough button, hey you hit the off button. I know,
but that'll work just fine when you want to cough.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
See there you go. Perfect. It was great.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, but i'd hear I'd rather hear me cough be taught. Huh.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
After twenty years, he can be taught.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Let me just say right now.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Also, by birthdays, we've got Rihanna's birthday, Charles Barkley's birthday,
Cindy Crawford's birthday. There are a lot of pretty good
birthdays here. Kurt Copain's birthday, Trevor Noah.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
If you care about that kind of thing, can we
just go home?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
You and me?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Just I'll have I'll gladly just back up and go home. Okay,
don't stop.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I think I suppose your name is on the show,
so you could you can continue?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Oh, thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
So, you know, so every night I'm doing these Michael
Brown minutes that air over on Freedom to promote the
nationally syndicated weekend program. And some days it's it's like boom,
they just pop out and I go, oh, that's that's
a perfect Michael Brown minute. Yesterday I was having a
(22:39):
difficult time finding anything that one that I cared about,
because first of all, I have to care about it.
And then and I go to my usual because they
want us to be a local news minute. I'm going
to you know, I go to the television websites. I
go to the Denver Gazette, I go to Westward, I
go to the Denver Compost, I go to Complete Colorado
(23:03):
I'm going to all of the local stuff to see
if I can find a story. Yesterday I land on
KDIVR dot com and I what happened to the story?
Here it goes, and I land on this story. Here's
the headline. Please just listen solely to the headline. This
(23:23):
is under local news quote arrest made after to yell
white power, Nazi power at Denver protesters against ice raids. Now,
if you read the headline, that implies that the Denver
Police Department arrested two individuals for yelling white power, Nazi
(23:50):
power at Denver protesters during these ice raid protests that
occurred back on I think February eighth. Now, let's go
through the story, because I'm like, what are you talking about?
You arrested people for yelling Denver police, Denver KDVR. This
(24:12):
story was first published yesterday. By the way, today is
February twentieth, and we are one month into the Trump administration.
Denver KDVR. Denver police on Tuesday arrested two people after
several protesters joining demonstrations against recent immigration crackdowns were targeted
(24:35):
with racist messages in early February. Now, so far, the
headline and the lead paragraph would lead you to believe
KDVR want you to believe that these two were arrested
because they screamed white power Nazi power at these protesters. Now,
now they got my attention because I'm like, wait a minute,
(24:59):
you can't arrest somebody for yelling, even though it may
be bigoted, and it may be hateful, and it may
it may be offensive. We are not Germany, we are
not the United Kingdom. The story then gets to the
third paragraph, where you get most of the details. Except
(25:20):
here's the third paragraph. Three women were going to the
Colorado State Capitol in February eighth to participate in a
protest in response to recent immigrations and customs enforcement actions
directed by the Trump administration, the Denver Police Department said
in a Wednesday press release. Just after three pm, near
(25:41):
tenth and Lincoln Streets, I would point out downtown, a
pickup truck approached the women, and two people allegedly yelled
white power and Nazi power at them. Now I'm now
headlines one two paragraphs into the story, and I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Why were they arrested?
Speaker 4 (26:07):
I still don't know way they were arrested because they
yelled white power and Nazi power at these two women. No,
it can't be. Oh, now we get finally to one
simple paragraph near the end of the story. The two
also allegedly threw glass objects at the women and drove away,
(26:29):
but not before one displayed a Nazi salute. Police said, well, no,
let's back up. Were they arrested because they yelled white
power Nazi power at Denver protesters, as your headline says,
(26:49):
or were they arrested because they were targeted with racist messages,
as your first paragraph says, or as your third paragraph says.
Were they arrested because they were in a pickup truck
and two people allegedly yelled white power and Nazi power
at them, as your second paragraph says. In the story, No,
(27:14):
we finally get to the third paragraphere we find out, Oh,
they threw a glass object at the women, but not
before they displayed.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
A Nazi salute. So what were they charged with.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I'm not Look, I'm not condoning throwing glass bottles or
any glass objects at people from a pickup while you're
I assume lawfully and peacefully protesting on a public right away.
But what I am objecting to is this particular charge
(27:53):
these two yahoos uh. The two people, one of which
was identified as David Halverson.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
A forty eight you're old enough to know abouty you
dip wad.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
We're arrested on February eighteen on three counts of investigation
of attempted bias motivated crime with bodily injury Attempted bias
motivated crime with bodily injury. The other suspect was a
(28:24):
juvenile and his name was not released. Attempted bias motivated
crime with bodily injury? Why do we need the bias
motivated crime? If you are driving along and don't do this.
But if you're driving along the twenty five today and
there's you know, somebody driving slowly in the left lane,
(28:45):
I know, which would be highly unusual, and you decide
to pass on the right because they're driving, you know,
they're driving, you know, forty five, and of course you're not.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Who's going forty five and I twenty five? Right now?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
They was speaking of me to even think that. But
if you're driving a long ey twenty five and you
get you know, you get pissed off at somebody and
you you roll your window down and you take your
your bottle of your your bud light, because I making
sure that's what you're drinking was bud light. Uh, Dylan,
and you decide to throw that at the car next
to you, that's attempted bodily injury. Now, if you yell
(29:22):
the inward, or you yell you know, the F word,
you know, like like a Brittish cigarette, or you know,
give a Nazi salute, or you yell white power and
Nazi power, isn't there a difference even in that because
(29:44):
the the first two the inward and the F word,
go to a racist comment, even though it's still racist
that I think those words are still those two words
are whether you uh? And nobody likes either one of
those words. But those are still two words in the
English language. But you wouldn't be You probably would not
(30:08):
be charged with what does it hit? I gotta get
its exactly right now?
Speaker 3 (30:14):
This is interesting if true? From a good Goober Texter
as zero nine three eight, Mike, did the story include
the part about the protesters throwing rocks at the truck?
Speaker 5 (30:26):
First? It's true?
Speaker 3 (30:29):
This is just one text message is saying that no,
because I'm very interesting if true.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
That's fascinating if true, because I've read this story. Now
reading it this morning is probably now the fourth time
that I've read this story, and there is never a
mention anywhere of the protesters throwing rocks.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Is what they said, That's what the text claims.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
At the pickup truck. Huh, So wouldn't that be attempted
bodily injury by throwing the rocks? So the point I
want to make is, here's Katie v R. Bearing the
lead and making you believe that, Oh my gosh, these
aren't Look we got white supremacists in front of us,
(31:11):
we got Nazis around us. No, they threw a bottle
at somebody or some glass object. And if the texture
is true, goober number whatever you were, If that's true,
then that shows that this story is even more biased
than I anticipated.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Is it bodily b O d I l y injury
or is it bodily b O T T l E
dash y injury?
Speaker 4 (31:43):
For the charge, well, according to the story's bodily b
O d I A l oy But and and for
the let me let me let me find your goober numbers,
so you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
You? Uh?
Speaker 4 (31:58):
According to Gouber number zero nine three eight, Mike, some
self proclaimed reporter tracked the driver down and confronted him.
Not sure if you'll get the link or not. So
I I highlighted, and you know, control see copied the
link and then pasted it. And I can't even read.
It's a reddit. It's Unreddit. I can't even tell you
(32:22):
what it brought up. I can't read it. It's it's uh,
let's see. Scrolling through it, I can't find anywhere it's
all about.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
It's all about gay sex. New printers for my business?
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Uh? Well, does Denver need to become a great city?
I just went through thirty one days without watching porn.
Need help with this old sony printer. I don't think
you got me the right link. If you did, I'm
missing something.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
What have you been searching on Reddit? Because it seems
to pull up something completely different from me. We've got
Pence denounces Trump's claim over Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Trump attacks Selensky in post, calls him a dictator. Trump
lost his fresh air attack on Zelensky.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
You posted in the same way. Holy crap? Where I
get that stuff?
Speaker 5 (33:20):
Yeah? What do you search it on?
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Now? Kind of kind of freaks me out. It's like, Okay,
what's this about? I do want to get to Oh,
dang it, now I've lost it. So you know that
Trump drove the beast through the Daytona. Well, apparently that
(33:42):
wasn't such a good idea because people are really upset
that he did that. Now where did that thang clip go?
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Now that?
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Oh I must have lost it on this let me
go back here, dad gumment. Well, I'm gonna have to
find it in the next break. But uh, CNN is
really upset that Trump drove the beast around the track
of the Daytona five hundred. Did you see when his
(34:15):
granddaughter got out of the beast with him. She had
all these bright red little shoes. It was so dang cute,
and she had I think, at least for a little while,
had a maga hat on too.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
But CNN is.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Really upset because Trump took away from the fact that
there were they were celebrating electric vehicles, and by dragging
the beast around the track, he took away from that.
You'll hear that coming up nept. Meanwhile, I'm gonna go
back and see what the hell's going on at read it,
because well that's kind of got me freaked out.
Goes forward it to the irs. The names of the
one hundred and sixty three people in Congress to be audited.
One hundred and fifty six of them are Democrats. Who
do you think the seven Republicans are should be interesting
to watch? Well?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I could probably count seven Republicans right in Colorado.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Now, I frankly don't care who they are. Audit them all,
all of them.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
All of them.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
But let's not be derailed by that dragon. Let's not
let it talk back derail the program.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
It's never happened before.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Because according to you, well not according according to you,
which goes to a website called nationaltoday dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Today is now, according to you, it's no politics day.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
That's what it says at National today dot com.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Yes, but that's when you scroll past all the others
you finally get well, we'll just work through the others
before we get to know politics, Okay, and let's just
let's think about these now. The first So the the
website is, and this is just kind of mood I'm
in today. So just strap in and get ready to go,
(01:16):
because we got a lot of different, really weird, kind
of weird things to cover this morning. I dis covered
more crap yesterday doing show prep. I mean, just oddball crap.
You heard the Michael Brown minute. That's gonna be an
entire segment or an hour, well or an hour now.
Uh So Dragon comes in and he goes, Today's no

what are you talking about? You know, we'll old man
go to National Today dot com. So I type in
Nationalsday dot com in facts.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I didn't start loft saying old man. It took me
a minute before I got to old man, click on

Speaker 4 (01:56):
I will, because because I go to Now, let let's
just let's just back up from a buco.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
You type in Nationaltoday dot com and the very first
thing you see is Thursday February twenty National Love your
Pet Day?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
And that's sweet.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Well, and of.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Course, as I said to you, is there a national
I think you actually said, is there a National.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Kick Puppy Day Day?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I mean, what if you if you don't love your pet,
why do you have a pet?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
So that was the first thing, and then I and
then it has you know, it's.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
One of these scrolling around like a wild man day.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
You you know, just f you right now, just right now,
six old nine in the morning on a Thursday. Go
ahead and just get froll right there, I.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Say, click on today.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
So he starts clicking around random spots on the pages
like no, no.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Because he all right, now listen list the.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Day.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
But back there, click on today. Now, let me tell
you what the options are for today. Now, today is
Thursday February twenty. And on that big bold thing, that
big picture they want you to see is the main
draw for the landing page is Thursday February twenty. So
I'm thinking, okay, well click on today because that's today. No,
(03:22):
don't mean that's not it. So I scrolled back up.
Then over here in the left hand corner is national
and in big red letters is the word today. So
I think, okay, that's it. And he's now yelling at me.
He's yelling at the old man.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Back to the page.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Now he's yelling at the old man. He says, no,
look over here, click on today. Well there is across
the top there are one, two, three, four, five tabs,
sa tabs, six tabs, seven tabs. Because this thing is
for this is a horrible website.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Horrible.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Whoever designed this needs to just go to squares go
somewhere and just do your own website.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I think it's because you've got the old man magnifier
on your Mac, so it's you know, so it's not
quite formatted properly.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
So if you would to, you know what regular it
would be proper.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
When I decrease the magnification, that today in videos is
still together. It never it never separates. So while you
may because apparently this is something Kaminsky lights.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Yes he does like the national Days.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Okay, so apparently you have, over the course of years
figured out how to navigate this piece of crap website.
So someone looking at it for the first time being
told by someone yelling.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
At them at six o'clock in the morning, click on today,
click on today.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Well, there's like twenty places that say today, you've got today,
you've got nationals, Today, you've got feature today, you've got
Today's holidays.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
View Today's holidays somehow or no, you head over to
the twenty second for reason.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I don't know how you did that.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Well, so I I, uh, well, let's just go let's
just skip all of.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
That crap and go straight to view today's holidays.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yes, now, as I said, the first one is now
to show you how bad this website is. When you
click on Today's holidays, the page it takes to you
shows today's holidays. But over in the corner was a
thing that had November holidays in February. I don't know
(05:31):
why it has that. Now it's gotten to an ad
to slip over to an ad today for some Oh
it's a pharmaceuticalad. Imagine that it's a pharmaceutical ad for
something called creon. Would you take something called creon? I mean,
whoever the marketers were, Hey take creon? Uh, crayons?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Neon?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Just how long the list of side effects are?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Let's see? Uh, something I miss something about pigs. If
you're having different culty paying for your medicine, ABBYV may
be able to help. Visit abbv dot com pasient access
support to learn more. That never works out.

it's a piece of crap website. So national Love your
Pet Day, But here are the other days for today
(06:31):
clean out your book case day. That silence is just
for you to think about that. Think about cleaning out
your bookcase today or today is also great American spit out.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Make sure you find that deadly indifference book and throw
that one away.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
It's such a you know what? So what happened was
the battery dead?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
This morning? Was another seat belt broken? Did say something?
Why are you ragging on me so much today?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
You don't want to get me on that seatbelt missus Redbeard?
I love you, But when you choose to go to
a dealership, you get dealership prices.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Is it done?
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Do not be astonished when you go. Well, that's a
lot more than I thought it was going to be. Yes,
yes it is.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Have you picked it up?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
No, not yet.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
But did you call to see if it was ready?
She did?
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Yeah, they gave her a price yesterday.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
And so also it's not even they just gave her
the price yesterday.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Lame.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Today is Thursday, huh? Now know Monday was a holiday.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Right, But you dropped it off on Tuesday. Tuesday for
an appointment that she has.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
She had an appointment on Tuesday, So I thought the
appointment was for them.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
To do the work, right.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
That's what we thought too, But that was just an
appointment time.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
So that was an appointment to drop it off. And
they don't give you a price until to yesterday.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yesterday when when they actually finally get to it.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Yeah, so did they tell you before I before I
asked the price because I do want to know the price.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Did they tell you what was wrong?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
They may have told her, yes, but frankly, she went
up to them and said, I want my seat belt replaced.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
So whatever what was wrong with it, don't know, didn't matter.
She just wanted it fully replaced, okay.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
So to replace it, and this is the driver's side,
I assume correct, And this is a jeep, Yes, cheap
compass okay, And to replace a seat belt on the
driver's side of a jeep Compass calls you?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
What?
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Yeah? Exactly that much.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
You don't want to say, I'll tell you, but I'm
not telling them.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Oh you didn't tell them. Oh I didn't see I
didn't notice the microphone. Oh but I can't tell them.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
You know, you go to a dealership, you get dealership prices.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Uh, that's about.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Twice what I thought.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Probably twice.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah, yeah, I was just say I was just say
maybe a little more than twice, but not quite more
than but yeah, at least twice I thought it was
gonna be. Okay, any guesses out there, what was gonna
cost dragon to replace the seat belt and driver's side
of a jeep jeep compass? Let us know, anyway, today
is also great American spit out. Now I have to
(09:45):
every day when I finish the program, I have to
take my laptop and I have to clean my what
I have to wipe my laptop down with, you know,
a special cleaner for the screen.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Because you talk a little like telveth sir, full life
all over.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Let me just say to you a whole what just
because you're mad about having to spend that much money
to replace a seat belt doesn't mean you have to
take the rest of the day out on me. Okay,
let's just let's just we We still have three hours
and forty five minutes to go, and if we kill
(10:29):
the politics and if we keep going down this path,
it's gonna be really nasty. But time we get to
ten o'clock, So it just suggest that you you just.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Kind of back off a little bit so.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
That it says great Americans spinout day all I can
think about is by the end of the program, I
have to wipe my screen because as I talk, as
I speak, as I speak quite animatedly, I tend to
get a little spittle on the screen, and I have
to clean it off, or I could just be like
(11:04):
the monitors here that nobody's cleaned in years, and you
can barely see through it because it's so covered between
spittle and dust and whatever it is. The Martino and
Kapalists and you know, and who knows what Ryan does
in here. Ryan's probably eating his grilled cheese sandwich and
French fries. Well, actually, you know his poutine. He's eating
grilled cheese sandwiches and poutine and just spitting the poutine
(11:27):
all over the monitors. You can't read crap on these,
I mean, well you can't read crap because that's what
these monitors look like.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You know.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
If they wanted me to, like although I just signed
a new contract, if they wanted me to quit, they
put new monitors in here because I wouldn't be able
to handle it. I mean, it's stu bright. I can't
see it. It's like I can't read it. It's too bright.
Today is also Hoodie who day, Hoodie Who Day?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
What's a hoodie who?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Well, you can.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Click on and it will tell you Hoody Who Day
is on February twenty. If you're sick of the heaters,
coats on, sweaters, red noses and boots.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Mark the end of.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Winter with fun as you join your community to say
goodbye to winter. Spring is a beautiful season of the
year that we always look forward to. We cannot wait
for winter to end, so we shout hoodi who on
hooty Who Day. Here's the history of Hooty Hoo Day. Uh,
Hoody Hoo Day was a stablished i just like saying
(12:33):
who hooty Who Day. He was established by the owners
of Welcat and is set on a day exactly a
month before spring. On Hoodi Hoo Day, people in the
community gather in a place at noon, wave their hands
and shout hoody who to say goodbye to winter and
welcome to spring. Spring is a beautiful season where the
flowers bloom, the sun is warm and pleasant, children grow faster,
(12:56):
and animals give birth. However, it has its dawn side. Man,
this this, this is a piece of crap website. You
build us up about how great it is because we're
mon month away from springing and all back. By the way,
it's when spring arrives. This paragraph says it is also
a season where diseases spread spread faster, is considered a
(13:19):
bad time to have children. More tornadoes occur during spring
than any other season of the year. Well, then, HOODI,
who here come the tornadoes? Hoody, who here comes the diseases? Nevertheless,
we cannot help but look forward to feeling the warm
sun on our faces and the cool breeze blowing through hair.
Spring is a special season in many places. Who started
(13:41):
this stupid thing? A wellcap? And if you ever wonder
what HOODI who means? We're not sure either, but it
was first used in the Andy Griffith Show, meaning how
are you in country slang hood who? I challenge you
to walk up to your cowork today, or your spouse,
(14:02):
or your girlfriend, or your boyfriend, or even your pet,
since it's National Love your Pet Day and just say.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Who do who?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Who do?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Who? Who do you who?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
It's also National Terry Pie Day. I can get into
that National Comfy Day. On this day, push yourself to
be totally comfortable no matter the circumstances. Let's get comfy now.
This is the one I'm going to celebrate because I
fit both of these. This is National Day of Solidarity
(14:37):
with Muslim, Arab and South Asian Immigrants. This is characterized
by a show of support to the affected groups and
the organizing of special events to rebuke unjust treatments meeted
out on them in the United States following the infamous
(14:58):
September eleven attacks. What many Americans have long spoken against
the trampling of Muslim and Arab immigrants rights? Where where
did we trample out Muslim or Arab American immigrants rights?
(15:18):
Get them? Okay, Dragon, this is your website National Handcuff Day,
so you and missus Redbeard today, can you know, in
celebration of the amount that you're going to spend on
replacing the seat belt, you can engage in a little
bdsm Although my guess is you'll be the one wearing
(15:41):
the handcuffs and you'll be the one with a stiletto
heel smash right into your left eye.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, you'll come in wearing an eye patch tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
You'll feel better than pay for the seatbelts.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
National Leadership Day. I am a horrible human being. I
absolutely know that. It's also in case you want to
wear your handcuffs. It's National Muffin Day? Can you think
of something more universally Can you think it's something more
(16:19):
universally loved than muffins?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Can you?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
It's also National Whistleblower Reward Day, and we finally get
to after being screamed at by my producer about.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Stupid old man. Can't you find anything? Just go here?
Go here?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
So, after scrolling through at least three fourths of the page,
we finally get After National Muffin Day, I skip National
Student Volunteer Day, National Whistleblower Reward Day. Oh now we
get to No Politics Day for all those who want
(16:59):
to break from the talk about elections and even speeches
from the newly elected. No Politics Day on February twenty
is just your kind of celebration. This event used to
be observed on February one until twenty twenty. The celebrations
are meant to so that's kind of interesting. The election
(17:20):
of Joe Biden and suddenly they want no politics, huh.
The celebrations are meant to help people move away from
the constant political talk, even if only for a day.
This event makes a refreshing statement. It aims to bring
people of opposing views together in peace, laughter and fund Yeah,
(17:40):
bite my ass. Here's the history. The profession itself is
EON's old and is a vital and noble activity. Even
Aristotle agreed he viewed ethics and politics as being intrinsically linked.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Well, there's our problem.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Aristotle said that ethics and politics were intrinsically linked. I
think that has been broken. This was started by Bob
Matthews from Rochester, New York.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
The day is.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Unofficial dragging, bringing up the book Deadly Indifference.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I tried reading that thing once, but.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I was neither here.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Nor there on it.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Oh, I'm sure it's a real page turner.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
So what is today?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
I mean, if I scrolled further down on the National
Today Day stupid website that you, apparently you and Kaminsky
just think is the greatest thing since I don't know,
war in peace or something. We'll finally just this on
Michael Brown Day Today? Is that what it is?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
It's a woman in blue jeans day? Also, that's a
line in.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Isn't that a line in Neil Diamond song?
Speaker 5 (18:52):
I'm sure it must be.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yeah, women in blue jeans or something?
Speaker 5 (18:55):
Okay, devil in a blue dress it was devil in a.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Blue dress, blue suede shoes. There's all of that Jen blues,
blue Jeen blues. That's right.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Uh, let me just say that first of all, Yes,
I'm disappointed that Dragon didn't go to the garage for
his repair. But the reason Dragon didn't go to the
garage is because Missus Redbeard wanted a dealer to do it.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Well, we went to our local favorite shop that's not
very far away. And yeah, they looked at it and goes,
you know, I feel comfortable doing that here. It's a
safety issue. You really should go to the dealership. So
that is all Missus Redbeard heard after that was dealership only.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Yes, So okay, yes, and we will say that since
you can't see the text line, one of you guess correctly.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
You probably work at the dealership.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
You probably, you probably do work at the dealership. You're
probably the one that made the quote. But I also
love the one that guessed a certain amount based on
how many times you went. That's pretty clever.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Bo I can't.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
However, he can't, right, he can't cough that many times
without just driving us all crazy. Well, he's already driven
me crazy, and that's all it's not even seven o'clock yet, Chimney.
And you know I came in in such a good
mood today too. That that's the other thing I kind.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Oft is that because it's World Anthropology Day or World
Day of Social Justice.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Oh well, see, now there you need to treat you know,
I feel like I'm being diss I feel like I'm
not being treated with the kind of social justice, the
kind of equity and inclusion that I deserve. And if
you keep this up, I'm going to sue you and
iHeart for dissing me.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Today.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Bring out your inner activists and promote the growing importance
of social justice.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Did you say the word social justice?
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Against social justice?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Now you know how I feel about hate crimes. You
also know how I feel about excuse me, so unprofessional
to me. But you know, since we don't have a.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Cough button, hey you hit the off button. I know,
but that'll work just fine when you want to cough.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
See there you go. Perfect. It was great.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, but i'd hear I'd rather hear me cough be taught. Huh.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
After twenty years, he can be taught.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Let me just say right now.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Also, by birthdays, we've got Rihanna's birthday, Charles Barkley's birthday,
Cindy Crawford's birthday. There are a lot of pretty good
birthdays here. Kurt Copain's birthday, Trevor Noah.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
If you care about that kind of thing, can we
just go home?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
You and me?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Just I'll have I'll gladly just back up and go home. Okay,
don't stop.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I think I suppose your name is on the show,
so you could you can continue?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Oh, thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
So, you know, so every night I'm doing these Michael
Brown minutes that air over on Freedom to promote the
nationally syndicated weekend program. And some days it's it's like boom,
they just pop out and I go, oh, that's that's
a perfect Michael Brown minute. Yesterday I was having a
(22:39):
difficult time finding anything that one that I cared about,
because first of all, I have to care about it.
And then and I go to my usual because they
want us to be a local news minute. I'm going
to you know, I go to the television websites. I
go to the Denver Gazette, I go to Westward, I
go to the Denver Compost, I go to Complete Colorado
(23:03):
I'm going to all of the local stuff to see
if I can find a story. Yesterday I land on
KDIVR dot com and I what happened to the story?
Here it goes, and I land on this story. Here's
the headline. Please just listen solely to the headline. This
(23:23):
is under local news quote arrest made after to yell
white power, Nazi power at Denver protesters against ice raids. Now,
if you read the headline, that implies that the Denver
Police Department arrested two individuals for yelling white power, Nazi
(23:50):
power at Denver protesters during these ice raid protests that
occurred back on I think February eighth. Now, let's go
through the story, because I'm like, what are you talking about?
You arrested people for yelling Denver police, Denver KDVR. This
(24:12):
story was first published yesterday. By the way, today is
February twentieth, and we are one month into the Trump administration.
Denver KDVR. Denver police on Tuesday arrested two people after
several protesters joining demonstrations against recent immigration crackdowns were targeted
(24:35):
with racist messages in early February. Now, so far, the
headline and the lead paragraph would lead you to believe
KDVR want you to believe that these two were arrested
because they screamed white power Nazi power at these protesters. Now,
now they got my attention because I'm like, wait a minute,
(24:59):
you can't arrest somebody for yelling, even though it may
be bigoted, and it may be hateful, and it may
it may be offensive. We are not Germany, we are
not the United Kingdom. The story then gets to the
third paragraph, where you get most of the details. Except
(25:20):
here's the third paragraph. Three women were going to the
Colorado State Capitol in February eighth to participate in a
protest in response to recent immigrations and customs enforcement actions
directed by the Trump administration, the Denver Police Department said
in a Wednesday press release. Just after three pm, near
(25:41):
tenth and Lincoln Streets, I would point out downtown, a
pickup truck approached the women, and two people allegedly yelled
white power and Nazi power at them. Now I'm now
headlines one two paragraphs into the story, and I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Why were they arrested?
Speaker 4 (26:07):
I still don't know way they were arrested because they
yelled white power and Nazi power at these two women. No,
it can't be. Oh, now we get finally to one
simple paragraph near the end of the story. The two
also allegedly threw glass objects at the women and drove away,
(26:29):
but not before one displayed a Nazi salute. Police said, well, no,
let's back up. Were they arrested because they yelled white
power Nazi power at Denver protesters, as your headline says,
(26:49):
or were they arrested because they were targeted with racist messages,
as your first paragraph says, or as your third paragraph says.
Were they arrested because they were in a pickup truck
and two people allegedly yelled white power and Nazi power
at them, as your second paragraph says. In the story, No,
(27:14):
we finally get to the third paragraphere we find out, Oh,
they threw a glass object at the women, but not
before they displayed.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
A Nazi salute. So what were they charged with.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I'm not Look, I'm not condoning throwing glass bottles or
any glass objects at people from a pickup while you're
I assume lawfully and peacefully protesting on a public right away.
But what I am objecting to is this particular charge
(27:53):
these two yahoos uh. The two people, one of which
was identified as David Halverson.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
A forty eight you're old enough to know abouty you
dip wad.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
We're arrested on February eighteen on three counts of investigation
of attempted bias motivated crime with bodily injury Attempted bias
motivated crime with bodily injury. The other suspect was a
(28:24):
juvenile and his name was not released. Attempted bias motivated
crime with bodily injury? Why do we need the bias
motivated crime? If you are driving along and don't do this.
But if you're driving along the twenty five today and
there's you know, somebody driving slowly in the left lane,
(28:45):
I know, which would be highly unusual, and you decide
to pass on the right because they're driving, you know,
they're driving, you know, forty five, and of course you're not.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Who's going forty five and I twenty five? Right now?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
They was speaking of me to even think that. But
if you're driving a long ey twenty five and you
get you know, you get pissed off at somebody and
you you roll your window down and you take your
your bottle of your your bud light, because I making
sure that's what you're drinking was bud light. Uh, Dylan,
and you decide to throw that at the car next
to you, that's attempted bodily injury. Now, if you yell
(29:22):
the inward, or you yell you know, the F word,
you know, like like a Brittish cigarette, or you know,
give a Nazi salute, or you yell white power and
Nazi power, isn't there a difference even in that because
(29:44):
the the first two the inward and the F word,
go to a racist comment, even though it's still racist
that I think those words are still those two words
are whether you uh? And nobody likes either one of
those words. But those are still two words in the
English language. But you wouldn't be You probably would not
(30:08):
be charged with what does it hit? I gotta get
its exactly right now?
Speaker 3 (30:14):
This is interesting if true? From a good Goober Texter
as zero nine three eight, Mike, did the story include
the part about the protesters throwing rocks at the truck?
Speaker 5 (30:26):
First? It's true?
Speaker 3 (30:29):
This is just one text message is saying that no,
because I'm very interesting if true.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
That's fascinating if true, because I've read this story. Now
reading it this morning is probably now the fourth time
that I've read this story, and there is never a
mention anywhere of the protesters throwing rocks.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Is what they said, That's what the text claims.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
At the pickup truck. Huh, So wouldn't that be attempted
bodily injury by throwing the rocks? So the point I
want to make is, here's Katie v R. Bearing the
lead and making you believe that, Oh my gosh, these
aren't Look we got white supremacists in front of us,
(31:11):
we got Nazis around us. No, they threw a bottle
at somebody or some glass object. And if the texture
is true, goober number whatever you were, If that's true,
then that shows that this story is even more biased
than I anticipated.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Is it bodily b O d I l y injury
or is it bodily b O T T l E
dash y injury?
Speaker 4 (31:43):
For the charge, well, according to the story's bodily b
O d I A l oy But and and for
the let me let me let me find your goober numbers,
so you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
You? Uh?
Speaker 4 (31:58):
According to Gouber number zero nine three eight, Mike, some
self proclaimed reporter tracked the driver down and confronted him.
Not sure if you'll get the link or not. So
I I highlighted, and you know, control see copied the
link and then pasted it. And I can't even read.
It's a reddit. It's Unreddit. I can't even tell you
(32:22):
what it brought up. I can't read it. It's it's uh,
let's see. Scrolling through it, I can't find anywhere it's
all about.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
It's all about gay sex. New printers for my business?
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Uh? Well, does Denver need to become a great city?
I just went through thirty one days without watching porn.
Need help with this old sony printer. I don't think
you got me the right link. If you did, I'm
missing something.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
What have you been searching on Reddit? Because it seems
to pull up something completely different from me. We've got
Pence denounces Trump's claim over Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Trump attacks Selensky in post, calls him a dictator. Trump
lost his fresh air attack on Zelensky.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
You posted in the same way. Holy crap? Where I
get that stuff?
Speaker 5 (33:20):
Yeah? What do you search it on?
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Now? Kind of kind of freaks me out. It's like, Okay,
what's this about? I do want to get to Oh,
dang it, now I've lost it. So you know that
Trump drove the beast through the Daytona. Well, apparently that
(33:42):
wasn't such a good idea because people are really upset
that he did that. Now where did that thang clip go?
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Now that?
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Oh I must have lost it on this let me
go back here, dad gumment. Well, I'm gonna have to
find it in the next break. But uh, CNN is
really upset that Trump drove the beast around the track
of the Daytona five hundred. Did you see when his
(34:15):
granddaughter got out of the beast with him. She had
all these bright red little shoes. It was so dang cute,
and she had I think, at least for a little while,
had a maga hat on too.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
But CNN is.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Really upset because Trump took away from the fact that
there were they were celebrating electric vehicles, and by dragging
the beast around the track, he took away from that.
You'll hear that coming up nept. Meanwhile, I'm gonna go
back and see what the hell's going on at read it,
because well that's kind of got me freaked out.
