Speaker 5 (01:52):
My God is really.

Speaker 6 (01:53):
Really special and I love my dad Lack.

Speaker 7 (02:00):
I'm proud of him and that even though he is
in here with us, but he died as a true hero.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
How much everything about him.

Speaker 8 (02:13):
In the moment that the officers and I had to
come see the children, my biggest reaction was, I don't
have seven arms. I have seven children who just lost
their father, and I don't have seven arms to wrap
around them.

Speaker 9 (02:27):
I'm Frank Cla, chairman of the steven Sila Tunnel to
Tawis Foundation. Our foundation is committed to delivering mortgage free
homes for gold Star families and fall and first respond
to families.

Speaker 8 (02:38):
To not have to.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
Worry financially is a huge peace of mind. The thought
of what in the world will I possibly do to
pay the bills? How will I possibly let the children
have a life that feels normal. I don't want them
to have to quit their piano lessons or their basketball.
I don't want them to feel that we have to
move into a little apartment and struggle financially. In addition
to the emotional weight.

Speaker 10 (02:59):
There are one thout and families that need our help.
Talent of Towers is honoring those heroes that risk their
lives by providing them with mortgage free homes.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
Those who serve us and then lay down their lives
protecting our freedoms and our safety. The least we can
do is eleven dollars a month to give them that
piece of always knowing there's a home. There's that sanctuary
when life feels like it's been tipped upside down, because
it has when you lose a parent in the line
of duty, to know you can go home, you can
be safe, there's no risk of losing your home. That's

(03:30):
a peace of mind that I can't believe you can
get for eleven dollars a month.

Speaker 10 (03:33):
I'd like to ask you to contribute eleven dollars a
month to support their efforts.

Speaker 9 (03:38):
Please donate eleven dollars a month by calling one eighth

I listen to a lot of true crime.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
I listened to her that night.

Speaker 9 (04:34):
I like the girl talk makes me like scary stories in.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
The morning, and I like her that night.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
I don't like the girl talk, guys, they made me
feel just right.

Speaker 10 (04:52):
I listen to a lot of true crime.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
All right, folks, we're gonna have to give me a minute.
We are having an issue with the mothership. I don't
know what is going on. I have a spinning wheel,
so I can't get back in here to bring the
actual host in.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
So uh yeah, I can't really.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Do much of anything at the moment moment until I
can figure this out. So hang on just a seconding
the problem because I don't know. I hate to say it,
but I may have to just crash this and bring it.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Okay. I had to get creative. You guys are alive,
but I had to do with her my phone. I'm
gonna try to go back all right, okay, I can
hear you, you can hear me. Yeah, they got you,
so do. I had to do through my phone. I
gotta go figure out for all on my computer.

Speaker 11 (05:47):
Hey man, no problem, I'm doing mine from our phone
today too. So uh well, I'll go and get started then,
Rick and I'll take it and take off running with it.
So welcome. It's a little delayed start tonight. That's happened
from time to time. I'm glad you're all here joining us.

(06:09):
I see some people in the chat already, which is good.
But to start off. On the morning of June fourteenth,
twenty seventeen, the sun rose quietly over Alexandria, Virginia. It
was a typical humid summer morning. Just outside the nation's capital,

(06:32):
Bird's Church, joggers passed by, and I'm a baseball diamond.
At Eugene Simpsons Stadium Park, a group of Republican members
of Congress were practicing for an annual tradition, the Bipartisan
Congressional Baseball Game for charity. It was meant to be

(06:52):
a rare show of unity in a deeply divided political climate,
but at seven o nine am that quite morning was
shattered A long gumming open fire with a semi automatic
rifle and a handgun. More than sixty shots were fired,
people scrambled for covered Capitol police officers engaged in a

(07:14):
disparate gun battle that lasted more or right around ten minutes.
The field, once a symbol of friendly and brivalry, became
a scene of bloodshed and chaos. I am bumpstock can tonight,
I am by myself. The lovely Bumpstock Barbie is unable

(07:37):
to join us. And this is front Ports for Insance.
Today is June fourteenth, eight year anniversary of that solemn day,
and this episode is the one about James Hodgkinson, the
softball practice shooter.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
So if you've all been watching.

Speaker 11 (08:01):
The news today, you see some pretty stuff, some hard
stuff going on in Minnesota today. And we had this
planned out for a little while already, but we noticed
the irony of it being on the same day. All
this stuff going on had the similarities of the political leanings.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
But we'll get to that later.

Speaker 11 (08:27):
Right now, we're going to focus more on Hodgkinson than
what he'd done. So again, just twenty seventeen, June fourteenth,
early morning, the shooter was sixty six year old James
Thomas Hodgkinson, a home inspector from Belleville, Illinois. His name

(08:47):
might not be well known, but his actions since shockwaves
across the country. The shooting injured six people, including House
Majority Whip Steve KAlSi, who was critically wounded. But this
was not a random act of violence. Hodgkinson had a
clear political motive. He was a staunch supporter of progressive

(09:09):
causes and a staunch Bernie Sanders supporter in particular, and
he's a fierce opponent of the President Donald Trump and
the Republican Party. In the weeks leading up to the shooting,
Hodgkinson had posted angry political rants on Facebook, calling Republicans
traders and increasingly convinced that they were going to kill

(09:31):
the elderly by cutting the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
That sounds familiar.

Speaker 11 (09:37):
You still hear people using those fear factors, scare tactics
and inciting fear and elderly right now, that's kind of
a you can see that's been going for a long time.
So how did a middle aged Midwestern man, a husband

(09:59):
of father, a Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer, radicalized to the
point of domestic terrorism?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
So let's be real. This is what this is, so
let's rewind.

Speaker 11 (10:16):
Hodgkinson had a long history of personal struggles, financial instability,
brushes with the law, and a deteriorating home life. In
two thousand and six, he was arrested for domestic battery.
By the twenty tens, he was losing work and already drifting.
Friends described him as a quiet, angry, and increasingly bitter.

(10:39):
He absorbed a steady diet of anti Republican rhetoric online,
becoming deeply entrenched in particism and partisan media echo chambers.
In March twenty seventeen, Hodgkinson left his home in Illinois
and traveled to Alexandria, Virginia. He was living out of

(11:00):
his van at the time. He spent weeks near the ballpark.
He even visited Williamca, adjacent to the field. By the
time June robe around, he knew the practice schedule of
the Republican team. He was absolutely casing the joint. He
arrived there in March with this intent, and he was

(11:20):
doing his homework, you know, making sure that this was
that he had everything involved or they had to have
everything that he needed to do was planned out. This
was it spontaneous at all. This was very much premeditated,
so we would call him, I guess, an organized killer,

(11:41):
but with some disorganized background. So at seven am on
June fourteenth, twenty seventeen, GOP lawmakers and staffers began their practice.
More than twenty Republican members of Congress and their staff
were president on the field.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
You had Steve's Galise.

Speaker 11 (12:02):
Republican Louisiana Ran, Paul Roger Williamson from Texas Mowbrooks and
Gary Palmer from Alabama, brad Winstrup from Ohio, Jeff Duncan
from South Carolina, and other staff and individuals were their
president as well. Zach Barth, a staffer for Representative Williams,

(12:25):
Matt Meeka, lobbyists for Tyson Foods, and the Capital police
officers Crystal Grinder and David Bailey were all in attendance
at that moment when the shooter approached. So the shooter
he waited and the cordon eye witnesses. Hoskinson's asked representative
of Jeff Duncan, who was leaving the field at the time,

(12:48):
quote is this the Republican or their Democrat team? And
moments later, once he got his answer, Hodgkinson began firing.
Armed with an SKA, a semi automatic rifle, and a
nine millimeter handgun, Hodgkinson fired bullets toward the field. Congressman
Steve Scalise was hit in the hip and collapsed on

(13:11):
the infield.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Congressman Mobrooks and Brad Renstrup.

Speaker 11 (13:15):
Who was a former Army former Army combat surgeon, rushed
to provide aid to Scalici. Two Capitol Police officers, part
of Scale's protection detail, were struck as they returned fire.
The lobbyist Matt and Michaeh and staffer Zach Barth, aid
to Representative Williams, were also injured. But despite being outgunned,

(13:42):
the Capitol Police engaged Howkinson in a firefight that lasted
nearly ten minutes, just returning fire from his position to theirs.
When it was all over, Hodskinson lay dead on the pavement,
killed by the police gun fire. The attack was over,
but the after math was just beginning. So we knew

(14:02):
that Hoskinsins showed up with a plan. He waited and wait,
he verified his target, and then he engaged his targets.
So we know that Steve's galase was shot, and I'm
pretty sure everybody's familiar with the trauma he had to
go through in his rehabilitation and all that. To this day,
he's still not back to one hundred percent. There's the

(14:25):
scars that he will forever have. Okay, I'm here now,
so sorry. So Steve Scalisee was rushed to a hospital
and in critical condition. He underwent multiple surgeries and faced

(14:46):
a month.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
And we just lost him. Fun times, fun times, fun times,
all right, so let me at least do this. He
didn't give me any video.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Clips or anything that I could run this time, but
they didn't give me pictures. So we'll try to see
if we can get them back.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
And I don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
They were really wanting to do the show tonight, which
is why they're trying to do it in this fashion,
but I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
How it's gonna work.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
I wouldn't to let anybody try anything once though, especially
because lately my system's in.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
They're great either. Wait, I think he's back now.

Speaker 8 (15:28):
Man.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
I don't know what happened. Just my phone made a bleep,
the noise and just shut off.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
So nice, nice fun time.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Oh yeah, it's not stopping. It's for sure.

Speaker 11 (15:38):
We might not make it all two hours, but we're
gonna do our best. So while the last thing y'all heard, Rick, Uh.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
You were just really starting to get into the meat
of everything about what the guy was doing and why
he was doing it. From what I could hear, I
was trying to button down gremlins on my own right.

Speaker 11 (15:57):
Uh, let's see, uh talk about who was there at
seven am?

Speaker 2 (16:02):
The Steve Scalise and Ran Paul and all them.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
I would just pick up from there and keep going
just in.

Speaker 11 (16:10):
Case everybody knows basically the story behind it. Him showing
up opening fire on the practice field and all that.
The shooter he'd like said he'll wait. According to witnesses,
Hoskinson asked Representative Jeff Duncan, who was leaving the field,
is Republican or Democrat team here? And once he verified

(16:31):
that there was the Republican team, that's when he went
back to his vehicle and got what he needed and
opened fire on everybody there. He had armed with an
s k S semi automatic rifle and a nine millimeter handgun.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
He fired bullets toward the field.

Speaker 11 (16:49):
Congressman's Steve's Galise was hit in the right hip and
collapsing infield. And we all know that he had suffered
major trauma from that injury. He's not even even to
this day, he's still in bad shape as far as
that goes. Of course he's got better, but he's far
from one hundred percent. So let's see. So he was

(17:15):
hit and he clapsed in the infield. Congressman Bolbrooks from
Alabama and Brad Winstrup from Ohio. And Winstrup, who is
a former Army combat surgeon, rushed to provide aid to Scalice.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Two Capitol Police officers.

Speaker 11 (17:30):
The ones went I mentioned earlier, part of Scalice's protective detail,
was struck as they returned fire as well. The lobbyist
Matt Micah and staffer Zach Bars, who was an aid
to Representative Williams, was also injured. Despite being outgunned, though,

(17:51):
the Capitol Police engaged Hokinson in the field in a
firefight that lasted nearly ten minutes, and that's a lot
time for a gun battle. Ten minutes is pretty good,
you know, firing back and forth like that. When it
was over, Hoskinson lay dead on the pavement, killed by

(18:13):
police gunfire. And the attack was over, But after math
was just the beginning. Steve'scalice was rushed to the hospital
in critical condition. He underwent multiple surgeries and faced months
of recovery. The incident sparked intense debate about political rhetoric,

(18:35):
security for lawmakers, and the dangerous polarization tearing through American society.
Though Hoskins Hodgkinson acted along, he wasn't invisible. The signs
were there in his outline post, in his isolation, in
his anger, yet no one could have predicted the violent

(18:58):
outlet that it would lead to. The FBI later classified
the shooting as an act of domestic terrorism fuelled by
political extremism, and I think that fits the bill perfectly.
I can't think off the top of my head what
the actual definition of terrorism is, but I know it's

(19:19):
politically motivated to force their ideals, and that's what he done.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
So so let's see.

Speaker 11 (19:33):
I'm sorry, I'm still trying to catch myself on the
phone that keeps going off. There was one haunting detail
just before the day that. Okay, there was one haunting detail.
Just the day before, Hoskinson had compiled a list of
Republican lawmakers, and I mean he made a hit list.
He had a whole list of targets, and we saw

(19:55):
that earlier today in the news that this guy who
fired who killed the lady in Minnesota, he had a
list as well. The baseball field tuning could have been
far deadlier if not for a quick response from the
Capitol police that detail that was assigned only because the
member of the House Leadership was present, it might have

(20:17):
become a mass casual event because normally just the staffers
things like that, they wouldn't have that protection detail there.
But because of the House Leadership members, they was actually
lucky enough to have that detail. And if it wasn't
for that, for them being on site, I don't think

(20:38):
anyone would have survived that day. The annual Congressional baseball
game still took place the next day, only thirty six
hours later, members of both parties stood together at National's Park.
They prayed, they hugged, they played ball, and for a
brief moment there was unity. But the scars, both physical

(20:58):
and political. And we've seen that before, where someone of
some sort of tragedy happens and for a briefest moment,
both sides are together. I hate that it takes something
horrible like that to get us to see past our
differences on both sides. There's one side that seems to

(21:23):
be a little more out for violence than the other,
but we'll get.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
To that later. U.

Speaker 11 (21:30):
The James Hodgkinson attack was a chilling reminder of what
happens when political anger turns into violence, when partisanship becomes
the dehumanizing, and when the lines between protests and extremism disappeared.
The baseball field should have been a place for camaraderie

(21:50):
and competition and said have become a battleground.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
And that's.

Speaker 11 (21:59):
The main thing that we see that even today, it's
this rhetoric about us versus them, they and us. I mean,
it's when you talk about violence and you talk about
people being hitler or communists or this or that or
the other, and you label them and take that humanization

(22:22):
away from them, you dehumanize them. You create a monster
that people are, that people think it's okay to hate,
and that they think it's okay to fight against physically,
and that when they do something violent like this, they
don't see it as an injustice. They see it as
doing a good deed. And you see, to an extent

(22:46):
from both sides, this hatred that's being built up. Some
of it I think is more reactionary from one side
reacting to the other side, just for the violeness and
the hatred that you see in the news all the time.
And I said, this was twenty seventeen. The only death
that day was Hodgkinson. But like I said, Stevesclie, his

(23:12):
entire life has changed turned upside down, him, his family,
the other people that was injured there too. We got
to remember that they had They deserved none of this either.
And it was all because, in my opinion, and I
think bump Stott Barbie would agree, from the rhetoric of

(23:32):
you know, orange man bad.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
The get out getting their faces bought.

Speaker 11 (23:39):
You know, when you see them out in a restaurant,
get up in there and interrupt them and getting.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Their face and yell at them.

Speaker 11 (23:46):
And you saw this rhetoric played out over and over
and over for twenty four hour news cycles, seven days
a week. How you can't having a disagreement, can't just
be a disagreement anymore. You have to be anti racist.
You can't just be against racist and got to be
anti this. You can't just agree with somebody on a basis.

(24:08):
You have to take it a step more further more
and actually fight back against it. Now, but only fight
back against it the way they want you to fight
back against it. You can't just be outspoken about something.
They need to take it to the next level of
like I said, mat seene Waters, get in their face,

(24:31):
roll up on them and yell at them, get meaner.
You know, we go when they go high, we go low.
Kind of bull craft, you know. So yeah, I think
in this situation, even from what he was writing Hodgkinson,
what he was writing, what he was saying on his post,

(24:53):
in his daily life leading up to that day in
twenty seventeen, you could see the hatred building building up
with him. The talking points he was saying was directly
from the talking points from the Democratic Party. And yes,
I know that all Democrats aren't like that. I honestly

(25:16):
think that the majority of them are not. There is
a left wing extreme aside that pushes this loudly, and
I think they in the sickest part to me is
I think they know what they're doing. They're not just
causing fear, They're not just creating a bad guy that
we all can hate. They're actually stirring the populace up

(25:40):
to a point of of what we're seeing in the streets.
Now this uh, this violent rhetoric, this this violent display
of what they call protest. And because they have created
this monster in their own minds, how they've made one

(26:00):
side of the half the country. They've made half the
country into this evil entity, these evil people that they
justify what they're doing. And we saw that again this morning.
This morning, America witnessed another violent political attack, an assassination,

(26:21):
the kind of tragedy we often associate with distant foreign countries.
You see this grainy footage like from the nineteen sixties
or whatever. You see reports coming from a heavily accented
news source talking about an assassination attempter or a political
figure was killed or whatnot. And we can see that

(26:42):
on the news and and kind of let it go
because it's not here. This is the noted States. You know,
we're not a third word country. This is that's not
how it works here. But this morning we saw it
again and it did happen here. Last year, we had
the President of the United States assassination tempt He was

(27:04):
shot at least three attempts that I know of. One
of them they got close enough to actually shoot him.
So we're seeing this escalation, and it's coming mainly from that.
For right now, it's coming from one side, and it's
going to get more people killed.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
At this point. I think.

Speaker 11 (27:26):
Now today's events, the details are still coming into focus,
but one thing is already clear. We are not immune
from this, this rage, this political extremism.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
It hasn't subsided.

Speaker 11 (27:40):
If anything, is getting worse, it's getting stronger, it's getting louder,
is getting more frequent, and it's getting cheered on by
certain people in politics, and our political leaders are actually
cheering it on and encouraging it.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Out.

Speaker 11 (28:00):
Another name joins the list that is getting far too long,
and another family is left grieving.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Today a couple of families.

Speaker 11 (28:07):
Another violent act enters the bloodstream of the Republic, already
straining under the weight of distrust and division. Minnesota State
Representative Melissa Hortman, a top Democrat in the Minnesota House,
and her husband Mark was shot and killed earlier this morning.

(28:28):
Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were also
targeted by the same individual. The neat shot multiple times,
but they survived. They were insurging. The last update I
heard was that they are expected to survive.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
I have something changed. I don't know. The last thing
I've heard is that they're suspected to survive, that.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
I'll do a quick surgency we have in the updates.
But last I heard, that's all you too.

Speaker 11 (28:55):
And I said, some of this by the time, y'all,
y'all hear this show, if you listen to a replay,
some of this information may change because this is this
is happening life, you know, happening today. So it's it's
it could change and we'll see. That's that's the problem
with the bleeding edge of news is that when you
get out in front of it, sometimes you wind up

(29:18):
getting you know, you missing your shot, you know what
I mean. So the shooter was identified earlier as fifty
seven year old Vance Bolture Voltaire. However he said his name.
I heard him say that I thought it was Bolter
and he has and I know in his truck they

(29:42):
found flyers saying the no Kings protests that were going
on throughout the day was found in his vehicle, along
with what they're calling a manifesto, and I know, to me,
it sounded more like just a hit list. They had
a bunch of Democrat members from the Minnesota's from Minnesota

(30:03):
congressional delegation that.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
We know of. I don't know who all else was
on there.

Speaker 11 (30:10):
Some of the reports I heard they were just saying
a hit list of political figures, and I know that
Walls was actually one of them according to that report.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
But again, it's all so brand new right now.

Speaker 11 (30:21):
It's hard to tell if they were all Democrats, if
there were Democrats and Republicans, if those people who weren't
political political members on the list, I'm not sure yet.
It's too new information unless you have something else about that.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
No, as of right now, not on that. I do
know that I did just check. According to last known information,
Minnesota's state Senator John Hoffman and his wife have bet
aron stable condition after i'mgoing undergoing surgery for multiple guns trablems.
I'm still looking into the rest of it to see
if we can get any other updates. One of the
most interesting twists I've seen in the last little bit,
because I've been paying attention to the parade, is now

(30:59):
all of a sudden, the New York Times just coming
out and saying that he was anti abortion and the
Trump supporter. Yeah, And I'm like, I really because apparently
his roommate said, so when the first thing I thought
of was that line from Spaceballs.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
I'm your father's brother is second cousin's sister's room. What
does that make us? Absolutely nothing? Kind of like the
truth on this.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
But of course all the leftists are lapping up the
New York Times on the dude, they like to you
about Biden for at least two years, but sure keep
believing them.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah, exactly now what we do know?

Speaker 11 (31:30):
And I saw a report by that too earlier that
he was a he said all over on it to
people just loving the fact that he was opposedly anti
abortion and all this. And if your anti abortion, then
obviously you have to be as far extremist rot winger.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
You know, you can't just be a normal human being
to be anti abortion. But I know that.

Speaker 11 (31:55):
Bolter appears to be a Democrat to me because he
from was some of his writings and stuff before they
took everything down. He was obviously pro Gaza and he
worked for and he worked He served on a workforce
on the Workforce Development Board of Govenor Tim Wallas. He's

(32:20):
on the board member of the I'm not sure I
can say this Praetorian Guard Secretary security company and that
the capacity worked, and in that capacity he worked a
security gig in Gaza, the West Bank and South Lebanon,
places run by Hamas and Hesba as we know, and

(32:44):
he could have used that access to as a board
member of the security company to gained access to the
police light car and uniform. Uh you know, because he
was seen wearing that outfit in this car looked like
unmarked police unit even though I had a light bar
on top of it and he was wearing the police outfit.

(33:08):
I saw a picture from supposedly going around. I hadn't
been able to verify it yet, that of what's supposed
to be him at the front door, and it's obvious
there's he's wearing a bald mask.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Have you seen that Rick that picture going around?

Speaker 3 (33:25):
I saw it earlier.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
I'm trying to see if I can find it again
to pull it up, but I'm not finding it.

Speaker 11 (33:29):
Yeah, yeah, and that'sen. I can't verify that because, like
I said, all this is still going on now, so
that's hard to tell for sure. But that picture that
they're saying is him is obviously a mask.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
I mean it's you can.

Speaker 11 (33:45):
See the eye cut out holes, you can see the
neck roll around it. So and these days they have
some pretty cool looking mask out. They're not like the
old school Halloween mask I used as a kid, that's
for sure. But what we do know as far as

(34:05):
if he's some sort of anti abortion guy or not,
that's up and the air. But we do know for
sure that he was on staff for Tim Governor Tim Wallas.
There's no denying that far. And if you look at it,
I mean, there's obviously a trend going around. Uh, there's

(34:28):
a there seems to be following a trend of political
and ideologically motivated attacks of the attack acts of domestic
terrorism coming predominantly from the left. Again, I like to
say left instead of Democrat, but we both know that's
kind of two sides of the same coin there. But

(34:50):
there seems to be more of an extremest side of
the Democrats, because you see a lot of the Democrats here,
especially the past several years, moving more toward words the
center are more given to the right and the far
left one since stream and I don't understand how that
it keeps happening, but these folks keep getting elected, re

(35:13):
elected back into power.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
I don't know that's that seems that.

Speaker 11 (35:20):
Yes, there's left side of streamers, there's right side extreamis
if either side sees this extreme, that these extremes actions
and don't can you know and don't speak out against them,
and they continue to support the party that's causing these
issues and saying these rhetorics, then guess.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
What, you're no better than they are. And that can
be left or right. I don't care what side you're on.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Well, this is one of the only reasons why I
don't really buy the whole narrative coming out now that
is supposedly he's a Trump supporter. Now I haven't checked
to see if Minneapolis has open primaries, because he may
have infect it's a cross party lines and voted for
Trump and a prime mary to try to throw things
off because Democrats love to do that in open primary states.
But a little bit of information that I know everybody

(36:06):
knows what We're going to go over it again real quick, anyway,
is he was actually appointed to and you'd mentioned this before,
the Minnesota Workforce Development Board under two separate Democratic governors
in twenty sixteen and twenty eighteen. I seriously doubt if
he had any Republican ties and all, he would have
been appointed to that. I'm just saying, not now, not

(36:29):
in Minneapolis. That's just my take on it.

Speaker 11 (36:33):
What din't they since you've mentioned it that the shooter
that shot Trump wouldn't he obviously a lifelong Democrat, But yeah,
the republican.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Lifelong Democrat who recently changed his voter registration to a Republican.
Common consensus was he was trying to recap it in
a primary.

Speaker 11 (36:55):
Yeah, yeah, so I mean we have a you know,
we say that happens, so it very well could be
this point too, But yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
It's like, well, it may also be part of I'm
really starting to think there's something else going on with
all this stuff, because it may also be part of
something that they're being told to do by whoever's pulling
the strings. Because all of this stuff cannot be happening
without some sort of sort of an organizational thing going on,
in my opinion, because it's popping off too often. So

(37:25):
I'm wondering how many of these people are being told,
you know, go ahead and change your voter registrations so
in case you don't survive this, they'll think you're a Republican, right,
or they.

Speaker 11 (37:36):
Can get also there, they can get into registered Republican
events as well. You know some of those events are
they want to know what you're who you're registered, ask
before they'll let you in. I know around here we
have events coming up that if you're a registered Democratic
or regis Republican only.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
And it's just stump picked speech.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
I think his phone's trying to go to sleep again.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
Do do do do do do do?

Speaker 1 (38:11):
But yeah, like he was saying, and like, Oklahoma is
a close primary stage, so there are times when there
are certain events and only certain people are allowed to
be there.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
And I think I just heard you again.

Speaker 11 (38:19):
I think, yeah, my back now, Yeah, you're back now.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Okay, yeah, my phone went to sleep again. I'm sorry.

Speaker 11 (38:31):
I wasn't looking at the phone when I saw the
screen going dark, and I missed it.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
So yeah, I don't know what Brandon phone you're using,
but if if you're in this emergency situation again, there's
a spot where you can tell it to not go.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Dark for like forever, So that should help next time.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Okay, yeah, I'm not going to try to find that
right now.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
But I'll I'll look at Oh no, please don't. I've
tried to help you with technology if I'm just playing.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Mostly right, hold on, can you hear me now? Yep?

Speaker 3 (39:15):
I got you.

Speaker 11 (39:17):
Okay, I think my bluetooth picked up for some reason.
My phone's giving me all kinds of craziness right now.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
Of course it is Saturday night, you're trying to do
a live show. Of course it is now.

Speaker 11 (39:31):
I say, everything's fighting against is on your end to
my end? So but yeah, you just bringing up there
that there's a trend going on here and and yeah
it's coming from the left right now. Who knows, ten
years from now, maybe from.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
The right side. I seriously doubt it.

Speaker 11 (39:46):
Looking at historical events and what's going on in the
past is going to stay like it's going. But like
December fourth of last year, that twenty seven year old man,
Luigi Maggie on or have you say his name? He's
shot and killed Brian Thompson, the CEO of United health Care.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
I just called him. It's because his name is Luigi.

Speaker 11 (40:11):
Yeah, yeah, Luigi yeah. And his after he got arrested
everything they found a letter criticizing the American health care system.
The authority stated that they believed Luigi was motivated by
what was perceived to be a parasitic health, insurance company
and industry altogether, as well as a broader objections to

(40:35):
corporate greed and a concern for modern society.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
Also written in his diary, diary.

Speaker 11 (40:41):
Wasn't an intent to carry out an attack, quoting I feel.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
I finally feel confident about what I will do.

Speaker 11 (40:51):
The details are coming together, and I don't feel any
doubt about whether it's right or justified. I'm glad in
a way that I procrastinated because it allowed.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Me to learn more about United Healthcare.

Speaker 11 (41:06):
So, I mean, it's clear that the hostility and sometimes
violent rhetoric from Democrats and the far.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Left is influencing these people.

Speaker 11 (41:17):
There is influencing to commit certain types of violent crime,
violent acts based on their belief that what they're hearing
is true. We did an episode not long ago on
a murdered suicide committed by man after Trump's election victory
in twenty twenty four, and the man had posted things

(41:37):
on social media, a young family talking about this the
fictional world of glead. This is the city in the
novel from The Handmaid's Tale, and he was saying that
the glee that is coming, and you see these idiots
walking around in this Handmaid's tell outfits and these parades

(41:58):
and all this crap. It's become such so common that
it's a battle cry now for the for Democrats and.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
To the left.

Speaker 11 (42:06):
Uh, especially when it comes about to abortion and other
hot topics of that time like that. We see numerous
protests where women march around silently wearing that red robes
and the white hoods.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
You know, you've seen that, Rick, We all seen that.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
But and and it's that it's not just with that.
I mean, you see, I keep.

Speaker 11 (42:33):
Going back to matching waters, that idiot and the waste
of what she's talking about, and even walls. Just a
couple of days ago, he said that we've got to
get meaner when he's talking about dealing with with Republicans
with the other side.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
There's the things.

Speaker 11 (42:49):
They're saying that this this fantasy that they're building and
selling their followers is proving to be dangerous.

Speaker 8 (42:59):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (42:59):
You can't call someone hitler, you can't call you know,
saying that he's going to end the world and he's
gonna be a dictator. He's going to take over everything,
and he's gonna lock you up, and he's gonna make
you bear children. No matter what, and you're gonna become cattle.
You know, you can't say things like that and expect

(43:21):
people to go like they don't mean it. There's enough
nuts out there who's going to pick up on this
and believe it and actually act on it. We're seeing
it play out. We saw it play out this morning.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
I believe.

Speaker 11 (43:36):
I noticed the news also speaking of this morning. Now
they're going to run with him being quote unquote pro
Trump and anti abortion, but they're not saying anything about
the House representative who just voted against you know, against
party lines. Basically they're gonna leave that part out.

Speaker 3 (44:02):
Well, yeah, of course they're going to keep anything out
that doesn't fit the narrative.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
Yep, because they.

Speaker 11 (44:11):
They don't want the seed to be planted that it
may be retaliation because they stepped out of a step
with the Democratic Party and listeners from front Ports friends,
let me step back real quick. The other voice you're hear,
and you've heard him before, we all love him. This
is Rowdy Rick, and he's our producer and the boss man,

(44:35):
and I'm glad he's stepping in and making the show
tonight with me. Otherwise I would probably bore all of
you to death because I normally i'm second will to
bump shot barber, who's not with us tonight.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
So I want to thank Rick real quick.

Speaker 11 (44:51):
And introduce him properly and bring him in for the
remainder of the show. Ever, how long we decided to do,
and I'd been your saving my skin tonight, That's for sure.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
It's why I am here.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Brother, when I hear the second voice chip, when I
never heard the second voice start chiming, and I was like,
I should probably open my Mac.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
Yeah, yeah, it's just me by myself.

Speaker 11 (45:16):
Tonight, we had storm rolled through and knock out the
power flash for a second, and the internet never came
back on, so I'd reset everything, but it didn't come out.
It turns out that there's an outage in our area
for miles of miles of miles. Got a bunch of
people not that and the estimated time to get it

(45:40):
back on was like ten thirty pm local time. So
I came to I left the bump Stock studio and
I came out to our secret location where it's kind
of like on the road with diesel dand tonight, you know,
so you're getting uh, you're getting a.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
Raw cut and.

Speaker 11 (46:04):
This this episode was going to be run by Bumpstock
Barbie as normal, and she was.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
She kind of had all the.

Speaker 11 (46:10):
Notes ready and ready to go, and and now I'm
just kind of winging it. So I definitely need the
the co host ton.

Speaker 3 (46:18):
So not a prime brother. That's why I'm here.

Speaker 11 (46:23):
Yeah, I'm getting a lot of weird looks by people
walking by every now and then, so I just wave
at them.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
Keep on going.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
Dude, Hey, I'm bump Stock in with Killer and Radio.
Do you have any thoughts on the assassination since today?

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Hey, you know, I probably ought to. I might do that.

Speaker 11 (46:39):
If I see somebody walk by again, I'll do that.
That might be interesting. In this area, you're either going
to get somebody who sounds a lot like me or
somebody who's probably on meth, so it could go either way.
But anyways, Yeah, I don't want to sound like I'm

(47:02):
just because it very easily could become me just hounding
and and and and beating the Democrats into the ground
on this because this rhetoric's been going on for so
long and people's warned them, please tone it down. You're
going to get somebody hurt, and they just keep doubling down.

(47:23):
It seems like they get worse every time every time
until something like this happens. Then they're all like, oh,
we need to come together, we need to work this out.
We can't you know, we can't let all these uh,
all these Nazis get.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Away with this.

Speaker 11 (47:38):
But we can't, uh, we can't do this out in
public like this. We should just talk to them meaner,
don't shoot them, Just be meaner in other ways.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
Be meaner, but don't shoot them. But no, I mean, well,
that's just it.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
They've been saying this now for months, that they that
they had to start taking the fight to us, that
they had to start being meaner with us, because that's
what that's what that's what their base has wanted them
to do. And the funny thing about all this was,
and look, I don't know if dude was a Trump voter.
I don't really care. I know he's a psycho, that's
all I give a shit about. I don't care what
is partly a party is because whoever he voted for

(48:11):
is irrelevant, because once he starts just shooting people for
the sake of shooting people, then I don't give a
damn anymore because I don't I don't claim him either
as a citizen, a human being, or an American anymore,
because he doesn't deserve any.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
Of those things.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
But I will say this because the Crassenstein brothers were
really heavy today when everybody was talking about the fact
that he had ties to the Dayton administration as well
as the Walls administration. Party affiliation shouldn't matter because he
did something that was unthinkable. I'll never say that when
all of a sudden everybody start well, it's obvious according

(48:44):
to the New York Times that he was a Trump
voter and he's anti abortion, so obviously he wasn't he
wasn't a Democrat.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
Like I said, and I've said this all day, I
don't seriously believe that anybody that was appointed by both
the Dayton and the Walls administrations would have had any
affiliation or ties with Trump at all. Now, granted, it's
been a few years, so he may he may have
radicalized in some way, but I still firmly believe. And

(49:15):
it'll probably be a while because even with as quick
as conspiracy theories are uncovered anymore, it still takes us
a while to get all the details. I think we're
about to find out if some weird like CIA slash
Deep State op that is like deep showing these people, Hey,
before you go do all this crazy stuff that we're
asking you to do, make sure you're registered as a Republican.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
M hmm.

Speaker 11 (49:36):
Yeah, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that was
to eventually come out.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
But that's what's happening. I've always had a little level.

Speaker 11 (49:45):
Of conspiracy theorists in me, but as I'm getting older
and I'm saying all this stuff play out, it's becoming
like Alice Jones level almost.

Speaker 3 (49:58):
We'll see that's just me. You're You're not a conspiracy
theorist anymore. You're you're you're an historian.

Speaker 11 (50:07):
Yes, what it's turned into. I'm not quite Alice Jones level.
I'm more of a Gavin McGuinness level, you know right there.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
I mean, sadly he was. He was kind of right
on that one because it was doing weird things to
their genetics. But yeah, anyway, yeah, that was another one he.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
Got to have it.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
That's kind of.

Speaker 11 (50:31):
About say he's, uh, we we owe him an apology
on a lot of stuff. That's what it comes down to.
But yeah, the the rhetoric like you said. It really
started picking up in twenty sixteen, you know, fifteen sixteen,
whenever Trump was running and and just like clock work again,

(50:54):
people was talking about all these uh roots that they call, you.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Know, protests.

Speaker 11 (51:03):
It seems like every time I don't won't to say
every time, but since with Trump, okay, every time with Trump, Yeah,
so's their playbook. They go right back to it. They're
going to cause this all this damage. They're gonna cause
all these fights. They're gonna cause mass destruction, and they
get praised for it. And it's not like they keep saying,

(51:24):
go out and have a peaceful protest. Well, yeah, that's fine,
but that's not what they're doing. It's like, you have
a peaceful protest wink, wink, nod, nod.

Speaker 10 (51:34):
You know.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
Yeah, well then that's just that I've been talking about
this all day. Look, this is just as much the
problem of the media as it is anybody who has
basically been saying, oh, these people aren't being violent, they're
not hurting anybody, They're just they're just peacefully protesting while
they're lighting things on fire and throwing rocks at people
and throwing bricks at people. This is a symptom of

(51:59):
the same problem when you build colts around the people
that just you know, gun down to CEO. I mean, dude,
the Luigi Manngioni has like a GoFundMe with like millions
of dollars in at this point, he's got chicks whose
panties are constantly moist for him, and he's gunned down
to CEO in the middle of New York City and

(52:19):
he's like some sort of a cult hero now. And
this is the problem with this because all of these
people that feel like they are just nobody and nobody
knows who they are, and they can't figure out a
way to break through the signal to noise ratio on anything,
and all they want is they're fifteen minutes of fame.
Is because that's how half the country makes money now
is once you get noticed and it blows up, you

(52:40):
get paid out of like fourteen million different ways if
you know how to do it right. So these people
are all doing the same things thinking they're going to
get somewhere, and when they don't, they just get more
and more frustrated. And this, I mean these people. The
thing about it is they're not realizing that all these
people that are protesting that are doing all these things
are being paid and they're being incited to do it.

(53:02):
So some of these people, I think are connected to
groups that are kind of kind of doing the same
thing on the next level. Because I've said it before,
they want, they wanted, they wanted the senator the other day,
who got who got tackled in outside of the briefing
to be there to be their Jorge Floyd.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
They they need their martyr.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
And I think that's why they have done everything they
can to paint this guy as a Trump supporter, even
though everything kind of points to the contrary, because again
he was, he was affiliated with two different, very heavily
democratic administrations in a very blue state. I find it
really hard to believe that they wouldn't have vetted him
and been like, oh, you're a Trump supporter. Oh hell no,
I mean, hell look what they did to Elon Musk

(53:43):
as soon as he said I'm going to vote for Trump?

Speaker 3 (53:46):
Are you kidding me? But I mean it's all part
of the same thing.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
These people are just doing everything that they can to
get famous, and all of these people that are constantly
connected to devices that don't see things the way that
you and I do, and I think that's part of it.
There's like this emotional disconnect when you re your life
through a screen. And the thing about it is the
military has known that for a long time. Nobody knows,

(54:11):
nobody really talks about this anymore. But most video games
were designed to start boosting I hand coordination for children
because they wanted them to be better soldiers.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
And one of the reasons why a lot of the
video games were so started to be so violent is
because they realized that if they could, if they could
get them used to seeing violence on TV and on
video video game screens, they wouldn't see it the same
way as you and I.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Do exactly now.

Speaker 11 (54:43):
They desensitize it, like you said, it's been going on
since the fifties. Really they desensitize you by even before
the fifties, honestly, to violence by dehumanizing your enemy. I know,
even back in World War One and stuff, you shot helmets,

(55:03):
you didn't shoot the people. You looked at the uniform,
you looked at the helmet, you didn't think of them
as a person. And now with modern technology, like you said,
with the video games, you're not I mean, there's people
to fly to drones, Okay, I mean it's getting to
the point where the unmanned drawns they don't it's easy
to fire upon a little pixelated image, right, you know,

(55:28):
this is where you're supposed to target.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
You don't see who you're who you're hitting.

Speaker 11 (55:35):
And I'm not saying that's right or wrong, it's just
the way it is right now. But yeah, you take
the humanity out of it on any level, and it
becomes easy to do. At that point, you can do horrible, violent,
inhumane things when your victim is no longer human in

(55:56):
your eyes.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
Well yeah, I mean you remember the video game So
Command when we were kidds. Most of the people that
do warfare today are playing that game in real time.
They basically hit a button and it's everybody's trying to
get the missiles in while the other side tries to
knock them out, or they're or they're doing bombing raids
and missile runs from thirty thousand feet. So everything is

(56:20):
just so disconnected. And the reason this all ties together
is because that's the same reason why you have so
many people that are of this. You know usually, I mean,
this guy's a little bit older, to be honest, I
think what he's about. He's a little bit older than me.
I think they said he was like fifty seven. So
this kind of surprises me a little bit because he
would have been in the next category if this is true.

(56:40):
And we're usually way too nihilistic for the shit that
he just pulled off, which is another thing that kind
of surprised with me. But for the you know, the
twenty to thirty five crowd, those are the ones that
have spent their entire life jacked into a screen and
they see things completely different than me and you. I
think this is another reason why we have this this
rise of social disorders, because people don't know.

Speaker 3 (57:01):
How to interact with one another in order.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
To take care to learn because they never see anybody
that they really give is it about other than on
the screen, because they don't give them about their families.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
They never see them right.

Speaker 11 (57:13):
Well, you saw also going on in the world. You
got Israel and I am right now, and you've seen
some of the videos coming out of there where you
see and you saw it a lot when it was
is Israel and in God's as well, those video shots

(57:34):
of I guess it's infra red, that's the green screen
and you see the white dots of the vehicles and
the people moving around and all of a sudden, yeah,
your missile comes in and obliterates them. Right, there's video
games now that looks exactly like that, and so when
you see it on TV, it's the same kind of graph.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
It's just the same.

Speaker 11 (57:56):
Look as those video games that kids are playing now
and a lot of kids by now, the call of
duties and everything are so real, realistic and everything. There's
things that you think if you didn't know no better,
you would think that you would seeing a actual wartime
video of what's going on, and it desensitizes everybody. Now,

(58:19):
that's kind of speaking back to what she was talking
about on those Now with this guy today, fifty seven
year old, whether he's Democrat or Republican or not, I
saw where he had a hatred for all things government
because I actually thought, hey, yeah, I understand that.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
So I think there was a lot of.

Speaker 11 (58:40):
Hatred and this guy too, built up over time that
was able to be manipulated and turned toward one party. Now,
maybe because this woman voted against the party lines, and
I know the senator also was lined up to vote
against party lines, and either he just did or he

(59:00):
was lined up to support something that was against the
Democrat party lines coming up. So you have that, I
guess you have that situation, you have that knowledge going
in that maybe.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
This was retaliatory uh strike and uh he. And we
just had that other.

Speaker 11 (59:26):
Vote the other day where a lot of the Democrats
and on the federal level was stepping over and shaking
hands and being bipartisan on some stuff coming up. So
I think that just again from history, from the from
the the violent rhetoric, the de humanity, dehumanitization of the

(59:49):
of the right, and the uh the way the left
puts these violent actors on a pedestal and give this
kind of shines that light on them almost like like Luigi.
I think that all kind of day of adds up
to what we saw today. Again, I was surprised with

(01:00:14):
his age as well. I was when I saw it happening.
I was expected, you know, twenty five to thirty five.
But who knows. I mean, you see people marching right now,
who's the elders?

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
You know? Sixt season seventies.

Speaker 11 (01:00:31):
I saw an interview would a seventy four year old
woman that one of these marches?

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
Oh dude, she was like I'm so a friend.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
I'm terrible.

Speaker 8 (01:00:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
I was like, she.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
Was singing that one song, but she was crying instead.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
Yeah. Yeah, they the left. That's what I was gonna say.
With the fear, with the fear tactics, they have these
people so twisted.

Speaker 11 (01:00:57):
Up, whether it be into balls of rage and anger
or into these little balls of fear and anxiety and
and just they got them so brainwashed that they actually
believe this. That seventy four year old woman, she has
nothing to fear, nothing, nothing but not gonna go after.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
That's not what's going on.

Speaker 11 (01:01:21):
But they've got her convinced to the point that you
saw the state she was in today.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
All right, so apparently the internet is back on at
the highs ends. I'm trying to get her to get
in here.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
Oh yeah cool, Yeah, but.

Speaker 11 (01:01:47):
Yeah, that's that's what I was saying, is like, you
can't the the I tell you one thing about Democrats
that I actually admired, Okay, the way they can stay
in locks up with each other, and that they can
play the long game, and the way that the way
that they can manipulate their followers, I guess, or convince
their followers that they're the right that the right, that's

(01:02:11):
just it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
They've been playing the long game for over one hundred years.

Speaker 11 (01:02:14):
Yes they are, and that's something that the right just
can't seem to to to understand. They keep shooting assessing
the foot, so to speak, because we have morals and
we have you know, honor and uh so when when
we take the high roads, there's a lot of people

(01:02:34):
who get left behind, and therefore we lose elections. It's
frustra I love it about us, but it's very frustrated
when you see the Democrats.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
I don't I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
But your spouse is now with us too.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
So are you on now?

Speaker 7 (01:02:51):
Yeah? I'm here.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Good.

Speaker 7 (01:02:56):
Yeah. I haven't been able to listen at all because
I haven't had internets. I've no idea where y'all are
at on the show now.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
We actually kind of just ran through everything and can
been kind of rambling for the last fifteen minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Yeah, it's yea, all.

Speaker 7 (01:03:12):
The Hotchinson stuff covered and.

Speaker 11 (01:03:16):
We get it exactly the way we had talked about it,
and it was perfectly done.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
I was a shining example and you should be proud
of me.

Speaker 7 (01:03:24):
I'm always proud of you.

Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
No, Lady's detected that's all I'm going to say from here.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
So we went you remember that, right up, we've done.

Speaker 11 (01:03:36):
Yeah, we went through all that, and now we're just
to the part where we're talking about the similarities of
what happened today.

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
Versus back then and.

Speaker 11 (01:03:45):
How you can see the rhetoric and what it's created,
and how successful the Left is with pushing their agenda
through that rhetoric, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:03:55):
Well, and then turning it around and playing off like
what rhetoric, it's the right rhetoric that is doing this.

Speaker 3 (01:04:01):
Doing exactly that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:03):
Basically, we saw that plane out in real time today.
It was absolutely.

Speaker 7 (01:04:09):
Anything else, Like, has there been any new updates on this? Uh?
This Dvance guy from today.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
Well, according according to his according to his roommates, fathers, brothers,
second cousins. You know, har dude was a Trump voter.

Speaker 7 (01:04:24):
Now, so yeah, I saw, I saw the roommate thing,
but didn't Advance have like a wife and five kids, Like,
who's this roommate? Why does he need a roommate?

Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
That's kind of what I.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
But Okay, I mean, there's there's all kinds of stuff
going on, but but I still firmly stand with the
fact that there's no way that in that in many
that did in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which as far as I know,
was where the capital Minnesota is. And if I'm wrong,
somebody can correct me. But two separate governors that were
both deep blue Democrats appointed a Trump voter to one

(01:04:56):
of their boards.

Speaker 3 (01:04:57):
Yeah, I don't think so.

Speaker 7 (01:04:58):
Yeah, that's that's out of character for any Democrat today. Like,
if you have ever voted for Trump or spoken even
slightly positively about him, you're not gonna get hired with them.

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Not only are you not going to get hired, you're
gonna get destroyed, and they're going to make sure you.

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Lose your job.

Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
I mean, we've seen it over and over and over again.
So I don't know if maybe, if maybe that's part
of what happened.

Speaker 3 (01:05:24):
OC.

Speaker 1 (01:05:25):
Now, I got a light mine up over there, smoking
your NAM cigar mhm, and he tried to turn his
camera on and then he disappeared. What you get for
trying to show off, sir?

Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
Hang on all right, now, you hit the button.

Speaker 11 (01:05:49):
I thobbled my phone and my thought and I hit
the camera button and messed it up.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
I got her thing back off now though.

Speaker 3 (01:05:56):
So mhmm.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
But yeah, the funniest thing about this was when they when,
Because let's just assume for the moment that The New
York Times isn't lying, even though they've been lying to
the American people for at least three years at this point.
Let's assume for a moment that they're not. When everyone
thought that he was a Democrat, the Crassest Steen Crass

(01:06:22):
and Estein brothers were.

Speaker 3 (01:06:23):
Like, political affiliation shouldn't matter.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
And now that there's coming out that he's supposedly a
Trump supporter, that are like, see, we told you it
wasn't us.

Speaker 7 (01:06:33):
I mean I posted earlier. I do not give a
single solitary craft. If this dude is left or right whatever,
he needs to be found. He needs to be tried
with capital murder, and then Minnesota needs to reinstate the
death penalty. Let's start making examples of these people.

Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
I have a different suggestion, but I can't say it
on the air.

Speaker 8 (01:06:55):
So I.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:06:57):
I get the feeling like during the course of the
existence of from Fort Forensics, I've probably said things that
I should not have said.

Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
M hm, Yes, I'm taking your advice. I'm taking your
advice and never putting anything in recorded form.

Speaker 7 (01:07:11):
Or printing there you go. See, y'all learn from me.
My show is educational.

Speaker 11 (01:07:27):
I gotta say something to brass here and said, yeah,
I do, I have I get I do enjoy your book.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
He's in the chat.

Speaker 11 (01:07:35):
I don't have the ability to top this. So I
was gonna say, I do enjoy the book. I read
through a lot of it, and I'm going to inflict
I mean, share it with Laura and the tiny tyrant
tonight in the morning.

Speaker 7 (01:07:46):
So yeah, I don't know why you sent him that
that's gonna be painful.

Speaker 3 (01:07:53):
That's the exact reason why I was sent.

Speaker 7 (01:08:00):
I think everybody trying to look out for Daniel and
make sure he gets me back for a grocery lists.

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
Probably.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
You know.

Speaker 11 (01:08:11):
We was talking earlier about the rhetoric coming from one
side mainly and the dangers of it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
Do you two have any examples that I may.

Speaker 11 (01:08:21):
Not know of of this coming from the right side,
this violence and the rhetoric.

Speaker 7 (01:08:26):
Like I told you earlier when I was writing everything up,
that like, there was nothing that really came to mind
at all, And I mean there very well could be
stuff out there, absolutely, but just nothing to this extent
that we've seen where these nutjobs, these people who are
already kind of teetering mentally are hearing all of this

(01:08:50):
and it's normally coming from the left, and they decide
to go act on it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
Yeah, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 11 (01:08:57):
But I just mean, like the rhetoric and the encouragement
i'ming from the political side or even what they call
rot wing news sources. Have you see anybody cheering them all?

Speaker 7 (01:09:07):
Or like I said, nothing comes to mind, But you
gotta keep in mind, like I gave up on like
the mainstream media, like the Fox News is, the CNN's
all that kind of stuff. I gave up on them
ters ago when we figured it out just how awful
they are. And I mean maybe Fox News is like
a little bit better than most of the other ones,

(01:09:28):
but I mean they still have agenda as well.

Speaker 11 (01:09:31):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
They have lost quite a few steps in my opinion.

Speaker 7 (01:09:39):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
I mean they're still better than some. But it's like
everybody because everybody did they was like, Oh, you're just
saying that because you watch Fox News. I'm like, dude,
I watched I watched two shows on Fox News. I
turned in on this afternoon for the parade. Other than that,
I usually watched The Five and I usually watch Gutfeld.

Speaker 8 (01:10:00):
Too.

Speaker 7 (01:10:00):
He is my guy on Fox. I will tune in
for his show. But that's about it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:06):
I mean, and that's one of the reason I watching.
That's the reason why I watched the Fight, because he's
on there too. But Michael lost them all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
So I always try to support that show because, you know,
when one of my clients is getting access to a
pretty big platform, I want to make sure that gets
to stay alife.

Speaker 7 (01:10:20):
Just saying yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm kind of flipping
back and forth. I got it muted. I'm trying to
see if there's I'm reading like those little shower runs
and everything at the bottom, trying to see if there
was any more new information on the Van sky. But
like Fox, right now, there is still just doing footage
of the parade. I don't even know if I wanted.

Speaker 11 (01:10:47):
They probably hadn't gotten any new information. They probably hadn't
got any new information here, they're not cutting in with it. Yeah,
kind of no sense rehashing the same information over and over,
you know, But.

Speaker 7 (01:11:00):
Say I just tuned in the I think it's MSNBC
that Jen Pisaki her show and the Chiro. One thousands
turnout for nationwide no Kings protests. So obviously in MSNBC
is not going to cover the parade.

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
But was that MSNBC, Uh, yes.

Speaker 7 (01:11:17):
MSNBC the breathing of Jen Psaki. That's the current chyron
right now. Thousands turnout for nationwide protests, and she's not thousands, Yeah, thousands,
but it's not her on screen, it's on the street
type interviews going on right now.

Speaker 11 (01:11:36):
Because earlier they would say in millions projected to turn out.
Now yes, thousands, not hundreds, thousands, just outs.

Speaker 7 (01:11:46):
I think the Democrats really underestimate, like just how many
people genuinely don't care about whatever their cause of the
day is.

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
Well, it's it's not just well, it's not it's not that.
So they really because after they were able to motivate
so well with George Floyd using you know, agitators and
everybody else to get every day people spun up, they
thought they were going to be able to do it again.
What they don't realize is eighty percent of the country
agrees with most of what is happening with our immigration

(01:12:19):
stuff right now. Now they may not, they agree with
almost all of it, so it's really hard for them
to spin up a lot of people. I mean everybody
that was there today, I guarantee it was one of
the people that was making depending on where they are,
anywhere between one hundred and fifty dollars to three hundred
dollars to day to stand out there.

Speaker 7 (01:12:35):
Yeah, exactly, the paid agitation.

Speaker 3 (01:12:38):
That's why the crowds were so small, because they could.

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
Get the people out there that they could pay, but
they couldn't get any kind of boost off of those payments.
I mean, there was almost there was almost no information
about the one today at the Capitol. I've seen one
thing on kfo R on their Facebook page that looked
like there was maybe a thousand people there.

Speaker 7 (01:12:58):
Yeah. ABC News now it's his live breaking news. Just
immigration protests intensify in Los Angeles. But I mean that's
been going on for what a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:13:09):
Now again, well they are they already gave it. They
already gave a disperse order for the no Kings win
in l A. So now just the regular ones are
still going.

Speaker 7 (01:13:20):
Yeah, i mean I'm just seeing Okay, there's a one
of the Pride flags and everything, but I see California
flags and like Mexico flags. But I mean there's it's
a handful of people. And what are the anchor guys
or the reporter guys walking around just a black shirt,
but he's wearing a mask. What is that still a thing?
Are we still trying a mask?

Speaker 11 (01:13:43):
Well, then I think the mask mouse. I think the
mask mouse taking all its own new image. I don't
think it has anything to do with COVID anymore. I
think it's Yeah, it's a symbol. I think it's more
of a symbol of unity with light the Antifa tope people.

Speaker 7 (01:13:58):
Probably that makes the most.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
That's how I see it.

Speaker 7 (01:14:01):
I mean, you're outside, it's la, it's hot, like, there's
no COVID there, Guys, come on, this is not even
the season for But that's ABC News covering them.

Speaker 11 (01:14:17):
But see, this falls back into that rhetoric we're talking about.
We see on the news that the mainstream media is
actually showing the violence because there's no way of getting
around it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:29):
Now.

Speaker 11 (01:14:31):
The vast majority of that coverage is coming from people's
cell phones and things like that that you're seeing on
ads and the last free market for at independent use
at big main main mainstream anyways. And then so you're
seeing that, but the mainstream media is gonna have that

(01:14:53):
reporter with a fire behind him, having to wear a
damn helmet to keep a brick from him in the head,
saying peaceful.

Speaker 7 (01:15:00):
Protest, mostly peaceful and mostly did they did they not
think about that when they ran that that little segment.
I mean, they had to know how that looked. Him
standing there with like a taxable helmet on and fires
raging behind him. He's like, Oh, everything's mostly been peaceful.

Speaker 11 (01:15:19):
That's That's the thing though, is that they're I'm not
gonna say gas lighting because I think that's overused, but
they're painting a you narrative.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
They've been doing it for a decade now.

Speaker 7 (01:15:30):
Nowadays they took as an instruction manual.

Speaker 11 (01:15:35):
Yeah, they're they're making that type of right into a
peaceful protest. They're going to say, ten years from now,
when they're out shooting guns and actually with pop bombs,
we're going to look back on today's protest and.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
Go like, yeah, I guess that was mostly Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:15:53):
They're they're ramping it up. They're they're building those layers
making it more acceptable.

Speaker 7 (01:15:58):
Just that they're similar when we did that episode on
the murder suicide from that guy who thought like Gilead
was coming, and he thought he was saving his family
from you know, a new Trump roushiet and everything. They
I think that the Democrats and the media. I think
that they absolutely know what they're doing. They are hoping
stuff like this that they can pin at Trump's feet,

(01:16:20):
to twist it and pen at Trump's feet because they're
they're growing more and more mentally unsound. I think as
far as the far left goes, like we see this
increasing now, like they're playing off this instability now and
they're hoping that all this stuff is going to happen.

Speaker 11 (01:16:42):
Yeah, that's the thing that being rick and mentioned that
we talked about the Gilead or however you pronounce it,
We talked about that too, Yeah, and how that's just
another form of them normalizing this crazy behavior, and that
kind of led us into talking about some of the
way uh.

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
D huge d d d D human humanization.

Speaker 11 (01:17:06):
Yes of people, specifically those that they disagree with uh
even into the military levels these and it's across the board.
That's what I'm trying to get at. Mainly, it's it's
militarized by the Left. The way they're doing it on
the level of person to person. UH neighbor versus neighbor,

(01:17:31):
you said, in the military with the video games where
your your enemy is no longer a person, it's just
a helmet or it's just they blip on a map
that you that you blow up and then you get
light stars for doing a good job. Yeah, you know,
you see that in video games now too. And the
left is taking it to a neighbor versus neighbor type

(01:17:52):
level as well. And they've been doing it for a
long long time. And this rhetoric that they're doing like
Luigi him.

Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
Yeah uh, they made him a rock star.

Speaker 7 (01:18:05):
And okay, that one. That one always gets me because
I don't think anybody on the left really understands that
the rules and regulations that health insurance companies have to
adhere to are caused by the federal government getting involved,
Like the federal government that has every time they touch something,

(01:18:27):
I mean, what is the opposite of like the Midas
touched like that, Everything the government touches just turns to
absolute crap.

Speaker 11 (01:18:35):
Yeah uh, I think I have that touch sometimes too,
But I know what you're talking about. But that's that's
part of the brainwashing part too, because.

Speaker 7 (01:18:45):
This Luigi kid did not know any of this.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
No, they think that number one, it's rich people. They
blame it on the rich people with the company.

Speaker 11 (01:18:56):
They don't understand, like you said, they lead out the
part that his government regulations that's causing this stuff to happen.
You get you get the gun out of and actually
let the private business run it. It's gonna fix ninety
percent of this crowd.

Speaker 7 (01:19:10):
They talk about all the time, the whole tax the
rich movement. If you actually look at tax brackets in
the US, the rich are already paying the bulk of
the taxes. They pay way more than the rest.

Speaker 2 (01:19:22):
Of us do.

Speaker 11 (01:19:25):
Yeah, I say that like some people saying, like the
profit margin for insurance companies is pretty small, and it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:35):
Is in the in the what in to the extent that.

Speaker 11 (01:19:42):
What the insurance companies make them pay versus what they'll
pay out to the suppliers and big pharma.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
You know, Yeah, that.

Speaker 11 (01:19:50):
That's what hospitals and the doctors and the hospitals themselves
aren't making that big of a margin. The insurance companies
and the big farm and stuff like that. That's where
it's going. That's what's regulated, right, Get that regulations out
of the way, to let doctors compete against other doctors,
and the prices for the consumer are going to go
way down. The last surgery I had on my hip,

(01:20:12):
when I had my hip replacement, the bill on that was,
you know, a quarter of a million dollars almost okay,
the doctor only made the doctor himself only made like
forty eight hundred bucks without surgery. Fourth out less than
five thousand dollars on almost two hundred thousand dollars bill
went to the actual doctor, insurance, Big Pharma, the all

(01:20:34):
that kind of regulations where you have to go in
and get your rehab, all that kind of stuff. The
insurance companies was making all that money. The rehab guys.
If I was able to pay out to catch pocket,
you know, out of pocket for my rehabilitation, would have
been like fifty dollars a visit. But through the insurance
it was seven hundred, almost eight hundred dollars a visit.
Because of those regulations and those things that the government

(01:20:55):
puts on them, get them out of the way and everything.
Getting them out of way, and you'll see it improved now.
The left, okay, I'm not even gonna say that the
government in general, left and right when it comes to
this they will paint it as the rich man making
profit that old blue Cross, Blue Shield or or uh

(01:21:19):
whatever this other company was that who was the guy
he killed?

Speaker 7 (01:21:24):
Brian Thompson from United Healthcare CEO.

Speaker 11 (01:21:29):
Yeah, they made unit of health Care the bad guy. Yeah,
because because he was taking advantage of this poor guy
in his family and his wife or whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
That really follow the money.

Speaker 11 (01:21:41):
If you go back to it, it's going to go
straight back to the insurance companies, not their policies, but
the policies they have to follow because of the government
restrictions and the government taking over.

Speaker 2 (01:21:53):
Now that's twisted Thompson to the points.

Speaker 11 (01:22:00):
The left will twist it saying that you just let
the government take it over completely. Yes, we will get
rid of insurance companies, but the private market can't handle that.
The government is only one big enough to handle that,
so we got to do it. And that's the way
they sell it.

Speaker 7 (01:22:17):
Yeah, not telling anybody that the reason that everything is
kind of jacked up the way it is is because
of the government. Government causes a problem and then tells
you they're the only solution to that problem.

Speaker 2 (01:22:29):
That's exactly the way. That's exactly what they're doing.

Speaker 7 (01:22:32):
And I mean this Brian is Brian Thompson Like he wasn't.
He wasn't just this like cruel jerk, you know that
was denying coverage random families and everything and laughing about it.
He literally his hands are tied. He has to adhere
to these regulations that are in place.

Speaker 2 (01:22:51):
And here and made to defend that a little bit.
If I'm.

Speaker 11 (01:22:55):
If I'm running this business, uh United Healthcare or whatever,
I'm running it, and I got an insurance regulation coming
in and go like, well, for you to make money
on this thirty five dollars prescription, we're gonna charge you
thirty five hundred dollars and you're gonna have to sell
it to the company for thirty five hundred dollars for
you to make a profit off of, or thirty eight

(01:23:16):
hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:23:17):
So you make a profit off of it, but you're
guaranteed to get that profit. You have to go that way.
You can't not do that. And that's that's base.

Speaker 11 (01:23:28):
I know that's real rudimentary and kind of dumbed it down,
but that's basically what's happening.

Speaker 7 (01:23:33):
They Yeah, I mean that's it, And it goes back
to the rhetoric. These people do not understand any of
this because they're not being told.

Speaker 11 (01:23:44):
And one of the reasons that insurance companies are so
expensive right now is because of the welfare side.

Speaker 2 (01:23:50):
Yes, I know, Medicaid and Medicare. I'm like talking about that.

Speaker 11 (01:23:52):
I'm talking about the freebies like are being given to
illegals and anybody else who wants them, apparently for us,
you know, that's that's people that actually got a job
and work for it. We'd ones have to fund it
all and they know they got us by the ball
sack and we have to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:24:13):
I mean, I do think that there probably should be
a revolution in this country, just not the way the
leftists think. Yeah, they have no they have no comprehension
whatsoever that actually reducing the size and scope of the
federal government is actually going to benefit their lives.

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
Yeah. And it almost sounds like.

Speaker 11 (01:24:36):
Starting to be on the side of Luigi Magdaloney or
whatever his name was, just.

Speaker 3 (01:24:45):
Call him, it's me Mario.

Speaker 11 (01:24:49):
Yeah, it almost sounds like I'm starting to fall onto
his side. And I want to be clear that I'm
not I under but I do understand exactly what he
was thinking and why he did it. I can emphasize that,
I get it, but yeah, is his hatred and his
violence was misdirected. He should not in any case ever

(01:25:12):
done what he done, period, But who he targeted was
the wrong target to begin with.

Speaker 7 (01:25:19):
Yeah, exactly. I mean that kind of goes back to
all the cases I think that had been covered tonight,
Like James Hodgkinson absolutely convinced that we were going to
kill Grandma and everything by cutting Medicaid and everything, so
he blamed Republicans for that and tried to tried to

(01:25:41):
commit a mass shooting.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
Basically, Yeah, for sure. I mean it was mentioned.

Speaker 7 (01:25:49):
It was I think his name was, like the Senator
Jeff Duncan. Was it that was leaving the ball field
was actually the one that James Hodgkinson spoke to. Now
is this the Democrat team or the Republican team?

Speaker 2 (01:26:05):
Yeah? Yeah, we mentioned that where he verified his target
because he wanted to make sure.

Speaker 7 (01:26:10):
Yeah, but I just I thought it was amazing that
it was one of the actual like congressman and everything,
that was just leaving the field that he asked M like,
I mean that guy probably hit his knees and thank
god he was leaving the ball field at that particular moment.

Speaker 11 (01:26:24):
You know, right, Yeah, I mean, could you imagine I'd
love to actually interview him and ask him what his
thought was on that day too, because yeah, if he
had answered the wrong way, or if he had, you know,
had hung around for a few more minutes, He's lucky
that the guy didn't have the gun on him at

(01:26:45):
that moment. He could have laid him out immediately exactly.

Speaker 7 (01:26:49):
Well, I mean it was only moments later he started shooting,
so yes, he was armed at that moment. He was
just trying to verify the target.

Speaker 11 (01:26:56):
Yeah, I thought he had to go back to his
car or his van and get his gun actually verified
who they were.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
But either way, I mean, yeah, but I do like it.

Speaker 7 (01:27:06):
I am proud because it was Moe Brooks from Alabama
that even in the midst of the gunfire, him and
another him and another congressman who was actually a former
combat surgeon in the army like went immediately to Steve
Scaleze and started like rendering aid.

Speaker 2 (01:27:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:27:22):
Yeah, so I'm pretty proud of our state there.

Speaker 2 (01:27:26):
Yeah, what's that.

Speaker 7 (01:27:31):
I can't remember the other the former combat surgeon.

Speaker 2 (01:27:35):
I've already closed laptop.

Speaker 7 (01:27:36):
I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (01:27:40):
I didn't write. I didn't handwrite nothing down, so I
don't have my notes easily.

Speaker 11 (01:27:47):
The combat veteran who helped Mo Brooks that day with Scalisi,
do you remember his name?

Speaker 2 (01:27:53):
Scali?

Speaker 7 (01:27:55):
He was, but so yeah, it was another one. Yeah,
they started rendering aid when they saw him fall and everything.
They went straight to and those two. But it was
mow Brooks And we can't remember the other one's name.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
I see.

Speaker 11 (01:28:19):
Somebody mentioned in the chat here Brass mentioned Rand Paul.
He says, yeah, right side o R Paul. Wasn't he
attacked in his yard not.

Speaker 2 (01:28:29):
Too long ago?

Speaker 1 (01:28:29):
It was.

Speaker 3 (01:28:31):
Brad wind Strip of Ohio.

Speaker 2 (01:28:33):
That's right, yep.

Speaker 7 (01:28:37):
But yeah, Ran Paul actually was attacked by his own
neighbor right out in his front yard and he actually was.

Speaker 11 (01:28:47):
Was that politically motivated? Or was just cutting his grass
too early on a Saturday morning? That kind?

Speaker 7 (01:28:53):
I do want to say that it was a It
was slightly political, but I do think him and his
neighbor had some words.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
You know. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29:02):
Okay, Well, before we get any further, mister Brass has
earned this and this. He just asked, if a double
amputy commits a mass shooting, would it still be accurate
to call him armed.

Speaker 3 (01:29:22):
You got a sad tress is always pretty good.

Speaker 7 (01:29:28):
My gosh, dude jokes.

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
You know, so if he was double lampeteite, would he'd
be shooting with his feet? Then I guess.

Speaker 7 (01:29:42):
What I you, you'd kind of if like if if
someone like that did pull off a mass shooting, there
would be kind of part of me that goes, Okay,
you've made it happen.

Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
That's pretty shitty but impressive.

Speaker 7 (01:29:55):
You know, like, I'm absolutely gonna them everything that you
just did, but I'm also gonna be like, you do it,
don't with your feet kind of prince.

Speaker 2 (01:30:09):
Yeah, I mean, you gotta tell some moments of some
humor mids and this up.

Speaker 7 (01:30:15):
Don't especial say levity is levity is very necessary.

Speaker 2 (01:30:21):
Yeah, we'd just be miserable all the time if you didn't.

Speaker 7 (01:30:23):
And I think that's especially the content of our show
is so dark, like, yeah, we knew those little moments
of levity sometimes.

Speaker 11 (01:30:31):
So right, Well, that brings me back to what I
was gonna say about the moments of levity used to
when I was growing up. You got news at six o'clock,
at ten o'clock, okay, and you got you got thirty
minutes to an hour of the bad stuff and then
you went about your day. Now it is twenty four

(01:30:51):
to seven, three hundred and sixty five days a year
of constant verages of just the negative from the news
on all you can't get away with unless you actively
turn it off in your door. You have to work
at getting away from it. These days you carried in
your pocket on your phone. Now you can't get away
from the negative all the time. And I hate that

(01:31:15):
you have to disconnect sometimes now. And yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
Society.

Speaker 11 (01:31:23):
I think you can see that in society these days too.
It's building up into people and it's making people just hateful,
because that's all they're getting fed is just hate all
the time.

Speaker 7 (01:31:33):
I say, what you consume is what you put out,
so right, and then when you got people in these
like very heavy artisan echo chambers and everything, and then
we wonder, oh my gosh, like nobody ever saw this coming, No, no, no,
because they're spewing this hatred elsewhere. And I mean, like

(01:31:56):
with James Hodgkins and like all these you see these
Facebook posts get like in increasingly darker and more violent
and everything, and then they withdraw more and more from
the people around them, and then everybody wonders, like, how
could this have happened? We didn't see any signs? So
these are the signs.

Speaker 11 (01:32:13):
Yeah, the signs are there, just like when we talk
about a serial killers. The signs are usually always there. Yeah,
you just actively choose not to see them. But that's
what I was going to say about It kind of
goes back to the difference between what we're seeing in
the left versus the right in these situations. And you
can argue it if you want, but you'll be wrong

(01:32:33):
because the left is emotional based the right is logical based.

Speaker 7 (01:32:39):
There have been facts, Yeah, there have actually been studies
done on this, and those who identify as more Democrat
or left leaning have a much higher rate of mental
illnesses like anxiety, depression, you know, things like that, and
the right, you know, typically kind of turns out happier.

(01:33:01):
Like you know me, Like I used to actually have
the news on twenty four to seven in the background
while it was like working or doing something else around
the house, but it just got so depressing.

Speaker 11 (01:33:13):
Yeah, I used to do the same thing. I used
to do the same thing I'd have back at work
in the talk radio days. Now I listen to you know,
rustling By on all them and all that. But it
would be on from the first time, well after our
local radio show went on. Yeah, it would like Neil

(01:33:35):
Barts and all them, and it was our flavor of news.
But it was still just negative, you know. And now,
but that's that's the right side. The left news is
even more negative and it's and if you're an emotional
based creature and that's all you're being fed, you can't

(01:33:59):
balance that.

Speaker 7 (01:34:02):
I mean, we've always said that the reason the left
is so inconsistent on everything is because they're entirely rooted
in their emotions. And you cannot expect any kind of
consistency from someone whose worldview relies on emotion, because their
emotions are going to change at the drop of the hat.
What was bad yesterday, they're gonna turn hypocritical and say

(01:34:23):
it's good today, or you know, like if it's good
when their side does it, it's bad when your side
does it. Okay, that makes you a hypocrite, But you're
only a hypocrite because you're so emotional about this.

Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
And their leadership knows that, so they'll tell them this
is bad.

Speaker 7 (01:34:40):
They're praying on this like this is extremely predatory behavior
from the media and the Democrats.

Speaker 11 (01:34:48):
The me and Rick had mentioned earlier about how the
left is playing the long game. Right, they have men
to use terminology that that's common.

Speaker 8 (01:35:00):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:35:01):
They've been grooming their followers.

Speaker 11 (01:35:03):
For one hundred years, absolutely, and they know exactly what
they're doing and they're damn good at it.

Speaker 7 (01:35:13):
Yeah. They I always have said, like the Democrats, Republicans
are feckless and everything because they don't want to be
called like ugly names. And I've always said this, like,
if I ever ran for office a Republican, they're gonna
hate me, probably one they hate Trump because none of
that ship's gonna work on me. I don't care what
you call me because you're gonna call me that name anyway.
So I'm just gonna go in there and I'm gonna

(01:35:33):
get stuff done.

Speaker 2 (01:35:36):
Now.

Speaker 11 (01:35:36):
That's the most frustrating thing to me about the the
Republican the right side of the aisle is the once
they get power, they're they're so worried about what they'll
be called or somebody or that they'll just they ca
all the time.

Speaker 7 (01:35:54):
I mean, we've want to be established. The left gets
offended at the drop of the hat, like it does
not matter. Like they're just going to be offended because
that's that's the way they live their daily lives. It's
just in a constant state of anger and histrionic offense. Right,
So just let them, you know, go in there, do
the job you're hired to do, and let them have

(01:36:16):
their little temper tantrum. It's like me when the time
growing up, Like she'd pitch a fit because she was
tired or something, and I just go about, like washing
the dishes or something. I'd let her cry herself out.

Speaker 2 (01:36:29):
Yep, you do that with me too sometimes, but the hey,
sometimes it's necessary. The thing with.

Speaker 11 (01:36:39):
The Democrats versus Republicans on this that I wish the
Republicans would understand is that if they did nut up
and actually do like we're saying that they would become heroes.

Speaker 2 (01:36:52):
Man. They would be they would never.

Speaker 11 (01:36:56):
They would have the safest seat in and that way,
I bet they've never lose, no, because the people who
the people like us, would love them, the people in
the middle would see their strength and their leadership abilities
and like it, and we'd be on top of the world.

Speaker 2 (01:37:17):
Man. But you know, they're afraid. They're gonna upset somebody,
you know.

Speaker 7 (01:37:21):
That's what I've always said, Like if I ever ran like,
that's exactly what I tell them. Y'all are going to
call me all these names anyway. It does not matter
what I do, what I say. You're going to do
this no matter what. So I'm just not going to
give a crap about it.

Speaker 11 (01:37:37):
I saw where Trump went to that lamer Is play
or whatever it was, and they said a lot of
the actors and the people in that area was boycotting
and not coming to it because He's going to be there.
And the reporter asked, and how does that make you feel?
And Trump says, I couldn't care less. I don't care
if they're here or not, because I'm on the thing

(01:37:59):
the country.

Speaker 2 (01:37:59):
Well, who was it?

Speaker 7 (01:38:01):
I think it was Matt Gates who in an interview,
like some of he was like walking through the lobby
somewhere in a reporter grabbed him like and said, you know,
you're gonna offend a lot of people by your recent
comments and everything. What do you have to say about that?
He said? He just looked at the camera and said, Okay,
be offended. Yeah, I like you, You're going to be offended. No,

(01:38:23):
but that line right there. I was like, dude, keep
that up.

Speaker 2 (01:38:27):
Yeah, you see that.

Speaker 4 (01:38:29):
A lot of.

Speaker 11 (01:38:31):
You seeing Ted Crews and the Santas and uh Massy
even to an extent, you see a lot of them
coming up now saying saying a lot of the same things,
you know, standing on the principles like we can't please
you anymore. You're gonna say whatever you're gonna say, so
say it. We're going to do what's right for the.

Speaker 7 (01:38:47):
Country, exactly Stop trying to please these people because you
got that R by your name and they're gonna hate
you no matter what you do, exactly right, because that
where we're at in this world, everything is so partisan,
is so divided that a lot of these people on
the extreme ends of both sides of the spectrum, they

(01:39:09):
can't there. There is no more nuance anymore with these people,
like you're either all in for Trump or you're all
in for the Democrats. And anybody who says, well, hey,
you know this Democrat says something that you know, I
could kind of like fetterman or something. Okay, I can
see where he's coming from on this, Like I'm willing
to hear him out. But then you got all the

(01:39:30):
mag of people on the other side saying like, now
you're a trader, and they become so hateful and people
have become out.

Speaker 11 (01:39:40):
The thing about Fetterman and Fetterman two point zero. Like
you said, there's a lot of things that he says
that I really like. I'm like, hey, I can get
behind him. But yeah, Bush comes asirt, but when when
when it comes down to voting, he falls right in
the line with the Democrats.

Speaker 7 (01:39:58):
Yeah, I mean sometimes so, I mean he's still a
raging leftist. I mean, let let's not forget that. But
something about that stroke, I think, like factory reset this
man's brain. So he's pretty reasonable, like shockingly so, especially
when it comes to Israel.

Speaker 11 (01:40:15):
Yeah, well that's this kicking point again. He's I haven't
seen him do anything vote wise that actually makes me
happy yet.

Speaker 2 (01:40:23):
So but I do like what he says. I just
wish he'd follow through.

Speaker 7 (01:40:27):
Yeah, I mean, like I said, he's still a raging lefty.

Speaker 11 (01:40:31):
It's bad that I heard saw somebody posting that the
smartest Democrats the one with the brain damage.

Speaker 7 (01:40:39):
Yeah, absolutely, because you've got the other ones like the
mansion in Christen Cinema or Kirsten Cinema, who seemed pretty reasonable.
But I mean they got so bombarded with hate and everything,
even from their own party that because that's just said.

(01:41:00):
There is Democrats say they're all about diversity, but there
is zero tolerance for diversity of thought in the Democrat Party.
You either toe the line or you're out.

Speaker 2 (01:41:13):
Oh yeah, you're ostracized immediately.

Speaker 7 (01:41:18):
Yeah, you're a pariah at this point if you dare
to say, well, hey, let's have a conversation about you know,
say what Senator Cruz said, Let's let's just talk this out. No, no, no,
they do not want to hear any of that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:32):
Why do they become a meat eating fish?

Speaker 7 (01:41:35):
A what'd you say, Paryah, how'd you do with I
forgot that. I put the word metastasizing there. How'd you
do with that?

Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
I can no, I completely skipped over that. I didn't
even say that I thought of that.

Speaker 7 (01:41:52):
That is exactly what's happening. I mean, this kind of
increasingly more and more partisan and more more hostile narrative
and everything being pushed by the left. It is like
a malignant cancer and it is metastasizing now. It is
we are seeing this now with more and more violent

(01:42:13):
acts committed based on that specific rhetoric. This is absolutely
a malignancy that needs to be cut out.

Speaker 11 (01:42:24):
Yeah, I see what you're saying for sure, but it's
so deep now I don't think you could cut it
out without completely killing the host.

Speaker 7 (01:42:34):
If I say, I mean, we're at the point like
it's in to keep with the cancer analogy, it's in
like every organ now, it's in the bones, it's it's everywhere, yep.

Speaker 11 (01:42:45):
And it starts in the brain with them, and that's
how they brainwash their followers. And like I said, normally
front ports friends.

Speaker 2 (01:42:55):
Which is not very political. We try to actually follow
that rule for the for the most party.

Speaker 7 (01:43:03):
Today it was unavoidable with that specific case of James Hodgkinson.
It all came down to politics, like there was no
way for us to get around that.

Speaker 11 (01:43:15):
No, and then with the events of this morning, it
just kind of concreted it. That's really the only direction
we could go today. It's calling it the truth, you know,
that's just what's happening right now, and again twenty years
from now.

Speaker 2 (01:43:28):
It may flip.

Speaker 11 (01:43:29):
It may be some right wing craziness going on. I'd
highly doubt it. But if it is we'll call that
out too.

Speaker 2 (01:43:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:43:37):
Absolutely. I mean, like I said, I said that on
X earlier today that I do not care if this
guy is left or right. I genuinely don't care. That
is not what's important to People are dead because of him, and.

Speaker 11 (01:43:49):
That's that's where I stand on principle or across all
of it. Same thing with the Epstein list. Okay, if
you're doing wrong, if you're on that list, if you're
pulling the trigger against a fellow American or a fellow
person because of political differences, then.

Speaker 2 (01:44:05):
You're in the wrong. Period.

Speaker 11 (01:44:07):
There's no right or wrong, there's no left or right.
You should be brought to justice immediately.

Speaker 7 (01:44:15):
I said. There's like, even if this guy turns out
to be like an anti abortion thing, like I'm going
and y'all know me on abortion, I am absolutely gonna
come out and say this is not the way to
do this.

Speaker 11 (01:44:28):
Well, Okay, directly speaking to that, we have seen some
abortion clinics be firebombed in the past. Yeah, saying don't
do this, that's wrong, you can't do that, that's uncalled
for it, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:44:40):
So we try our best not to.

Speaker 11 (01:44:43):
Be hypocritical when it comes to calling out stuff, and
I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings right now as
a Democrat, then that's on you guys. That's on your leadership,
that's on your folks, that's on the left. Right now,
we're just calling it like it is. I ain't got
nothing personal with you. I love a lot of You's
It's fine. I know several of you out there that's

(01:45:03):
that vote Democrat for some weird freaking reason, you still
do it. But I'm gonna still let you eat my
barbecue when you come over.

Speaker 7 (01:45:12):
Yeah, absolutely, I mean, as long as you're like a
normal rational person, politics really shouldn't get in the way
of any of that. But but it's this is where,
this is where we're at in our country now.

Speaker 11 (01:45:25):
Yeah, it's getting to the point that it's so divided
that you can't you can't vote one way or the
other without supporting it. You see what's happening, And when
you line up and vote for it, you're you're propping
it up, You're allowing it to happen. You are saying
it's okay with me, and you vote for it by

(01:45:46):
your vote, so you can say all you want. You
can say all you want that no it's not right
that we condemn this until election day and then I'm
gonna go ahead and vote d Anyways, Then you're being hypocritical,
You're you're you're lying to yourself.

Speaker 7 (01:46:02):
Yeah, and that's just it, Like it's we're just we're
so polarized now, we're so divided now. I genuinely don't
know how we kind of come back from this as
a country.

Speaker 11 (01:46:17):
Yeah, it's not just today events that you're talking about.
You're talking about the bigger picture.

Speaker 7 (01:46:24):
Yeah, but I mean today's today's events just kind of
highlight this stark divide that we find ourselves in now,
like it's shown us spotlight.

Speaker 1 (01:46:35):
I'm gonna be honest, I've never really been a fan
of Jesse Kelly's idea of a divorce.

Speaker 3 (01:46:40):
I'm kind of there now.

Speaker 7 (01:46:42):
See, I've always agreed with him, like it just I
think it needs to happen. I've always agreed with them, like, look,
these people, there's no coming back for them. They're not
ever going to kind of awaken to see how they've
been manipulated and how they've been played. And again, this
goes for both sides, because I think the stream on
the left and the right, like you get these die

(01:47:03):
hard maga people that are just they're just as bad
shit as the other side, like just in a different way.
They're flip sides of the same coin. So you know what,
y'all go do your own thing. A same people are
gonna like team up again.

Speaker 11 (01:47:17):
Well, I saw where uh Elon Musk when he was
having this feud when momma and daddy was fighting, that
he was saying his time for a third party that
he wanted to call the American Party, And I get
his what he's meaning what he's saying. Yeah, but it
won't work unless there's some sort of major shift.

Speaker 7 (01:47:37):
Yeah, Well that's just it.

Speaker 1 (01:47:40):
Well, I don't mean to cut you off, but this
is this is one of the things that really irritates
me about American politics. They're literally like forty five parties.
We don't we don't need any more of it now
because of ballot restrictions, you don't necessarily have the ability
to vote for all of them, depending on where you live.
But there's literally the Independent basically you can register is

(01:48:02):
in an Independent which has kind of become a party
of its own. Libertarian, Republican Democrat, Green Party, Socialist Party,
Democratic Socialist Party, Communist Party of America. There are forty
or fifty different parties depending on where you live. We
don't need another party. We need people to realize that

(01:48:23):
we need to stop listening to the crazy voices that
are running the parties.

Speaker 7 (01:48:29):
I think a lot of I think a lot of
people now are enjoying the crazies because the crazies are
telling them everything they want to hear.

Speaker 1 (01:48:39):
Well, it's not just that, thanks to social media, you
grab whatever brand of crazy youth support and now you're
making bank, you know, off Facebook and Twitter and Instagram,
and especially if you're a leftist, you can you you
go throw a couple of things on TikTok, and next
thing you know, you've got a thousand dollars paycheck coming.

Speaker 7 (01:49:00):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:49:03):
It's just.

Speaker 7 (01:49:08):
It's lightning here.

Speaker 3 (01:49:09):
But I didn't know what it was, but I can
hear it.

Speaker 11 (01:49:13):
Okay, I'm I'm about to turn my microphone off because
I was about to get drowned out.

Speaker 2 (01:49:17):
I'm gonna let you guys take it for a while.

Speaker 3 (01:49:21):
Fine, just leave me here all alone with the shopping list.

Speaker 11 (01:49:25):
If it's not too loud, I'll stay. But if he
gets the words, if it's getting words too loud or whatever,
I'll turn it off, but.

Speaker 7 (01:49:35):
Clear as day.

Speaker 1 (01:49:36):
So no, I know what you're trying to do here.
She's more likely to put me on a shopping list
than you, so I know exactly what you're trying to
do here. I'm here, Chad always look.

Speaker 7 (01:49:45):
At fouse first, So I mean, that's just way too obvious.

Speaker 11 (01:49:49):
All I'm saying, Rick, is there's more than just a
grocery list that floats around our house.

Speaker 2 (01:49:53):
I think.

Speaker 11 (01:49:54):
So, uh no, I'll just worry because sitting here, you know,
I'm in my pickup doing this, so to me, it's
really loud. I just didn't want it to interfere with
with the recording or anything.

Speaker 7 (01:50:09):
So yeah, on my end, you sound clear as day.
And I mean it's raining here too, but obviously I'm
at that so.

Speaker 11 (01:50:17):
I sound as clear as I normally do. I don't
think I ever sound clear on anything.

Speaker 7 (01:50:23):
I still don't know how people tell me that I
sound more Southern than you do. I kind of find
that a little bit offensive because you got.

Speaker 2 (01:50:29):
To draw baby.

Speaker 1 (01:50:31):
Uh yeah, I wouldn't say you sound more Southern than him,
but I think because your voice is lighter, your droll
shows up a little heavier.

Speaker 11 (01:50:40):
Maybe that's probably what it is too. I think it's
just surprised. It is because you're so well articulate, you
speak so good that people are surprised when they hear
your your accent, because you sound you know.

Speaker 7 (01:50:55):
Oh yeah, where all these backwoods, uneducated red eggs, Like
how does she know all these ten dollars words?

Speaker 3 (01:51:01):
She writes like a road collar. But then you hear talking,
it's like, what the hell.

Speaker 2 (01:51:09):
Exactly?

Speaker 11 (01:51:09):
I think that's more of where they say I'm surprised
about your accent is because more more of that. To me,
it's like, yeah, that fits, But to you it's kind
of surprising.

Speaker 7 (01:51:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:51:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:51:22):
The funny thing is when I was a kid, I
used to sown like you two, and then we started
moving around all over the place and I got made
fun of.

Speaker 3 (01:51:27):
So I learned how to make most of it go away.

Speaker 2 (01:51:31):
Sound like corner bread to the day I die.

Speaker 7 (01:51:34):
Yeah, sweet, what what did already say? Sweet tea for
the soul?

Speaker 2 (01:51:39):
Yeah, you're you're the sweet tea on the corn bread.
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:51:47):
Yeah, well you're the cornbread. Your jokes though not your voice.

Speaker 7 (01:51:53):
Oh they get bad, and the crack himself up over it.

Speaker 2 (01:51:59):
Well, sometimes I have to explain wonder funny.

Speaker 7 (01:52:03):
You don't ever have to explain why they're funny. You
just do and then you start laughing all over again.

Speaker 3 (01:52:09):
If you have to explain the joke, it's not as
funny as you think it is. For one.

Speaker 7 (01:52:14):
No, that is part of the joke for him is
he'll tell like one of those stupid dad jokes it
was so painfully obvious, and then he'll say, see what
the reason is funny, and then he'll explain the joke
and then he'll crack himself up all over again.

Speaker 2 (01:52:28):
Yeah, that's one of Zelda's favorite things.

Speaker 11 (01:52:31):
I think it's her birthday today too, isn't it yesterday?

Speaker 7 (01:52:36):
I think it was.

Speaker 3 (01:52:39):
She and Trumps today.

Speaker 11 (01:52:41):
Okay, Yeah, when I do that, she always gets gets
the kick out of it. She goes like, the reason
that's funny is.

Speaker 2 (01:52:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:52:51):
She'll you'll post one of those dad jokes and she'll
tag me and say the reason why it's funny, and
I'm like, you need to quit it, but.

Speaker 2 (01:52:59):
Uh, we dig. We're congressing again, so.

Speaker 7 (01:53:05):
They know that you've got everything I wrote down.

Speaker 11 (01:53:08):
Yeah, today's events just again. It kind of ties back
into what's going on for a long time on one
particular side at all, and and it's their game plan
and they're working it very efficiently.

Speaker 2 (01:53:24):
Nothing.

Speaker 7 (01:53:24):
I mean, that's like you said, they're they're very clever,
they know what they're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:53:29):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:53:30):
The thing about it is they're still working their game plan,
but for the first time in the longest time, it's
not really working. What do they have like a combined
approval rating right now, like twenty.

Speaker 7 (01:53:39):
Maybe?

Speaker 3 (01:53:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:53:40):
I think people, I think a lot of reasonable people
are waking up to like, Okay, this is getting off
the rails here.

Speaker 3 (01:53:48):
Excuse me, that's Monday. Monday.

Speaker 7 (01:53:51):
Yes, that is another show. That's a really fun one too,
by the way, thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:53:57):
But yeah, I know, it's just it's just interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:53:59):
I mean, I didn't want to go down the historical
rabbit hole that I've gone down on my other shows
a million different times. But we talked a little bit
about the long game they've been playing. Everybody forgets. They've
been making the same argument about why taxation isn't that
big of a deal since you know when was it past,
like nineteen fourteen, because you know, we got a progressive
income tax during the Civil War and then it went

(01:54:20):
away after the Civil War, and then they came back
every two years back to the Republicans.

Speaker 3 (01:54:24):
We need that tax pack, we need that tax pack,
we need that tax pack.

Speaker 1 (01:54:27):
And eventually it was like that scene, remember Spiking the
Little Dog from the cartoons?

Speaker 2 (01:54:32):
Where are we going?

Speaker 3 (01:54:32):
Spike? What are we doing? Spike and spike? Yeah, given, Yeah,
that's exactly what happened.

Speaker 1 (01:54:36):
The Republicans were like, fine, we'll do this, We'll put
it to a vote of the people, because they're like
and because they're thinking, there's no way they're going to
just let them get directly into their.

Speaker 3 (01:54:44):
Pockets, and then they did.

Speaker 1 (01:54:46):
They used the same message then that they're using now, Oh,
it's not gonna affect you.

Speaker 3 (01:54:51):
This is a two This is a two percent tax
on the top one percent of the country, so you're
not even gonna have to worry about it.

Speaker 1 (01:55:00):
And that's the same argument they use today every time
they start talking about new taxes.

Speaker 3 (01:55:04):
This isn't about you, This is about the wealthy people.

Speaker 1 (01:55:08):
And then they're like, oh, and we want to we
want to put this tax on anybody that makes more
than six hundred dollars off of venmo in a year.

Speaker 3 (01:55:15):
Yeah, hell yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:55:19):
The Democrats motto might as well be like for that
kind of rhetoric and that kind of like narrative. If
it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's been working all
the time, so they're just going to keep recycling it
and just kind of updating it every so often.

Speaker 11 (01:55:36):
What their game plan is death by a thousand cuts.
And yeah, the death that they're the death that they're
looking for is the freedom and the will of the
people to die and the government take over everything, and
that way they have complete and total power on on
their end and that we're just a bunch of subjects. Again,

(01:55:58):
that's that's why they're plan is and it's and again
death by thousand cuts. They know that they can't cut
two deep all at once because we'll bleed out to immediately.

Speaker 2 (01:56:10):
They have to do it small increments at a time.
And yeah, you see where we are now.

Speaker 7 (01:56:15):
Well do a better, better analogy and a better little
idiom here, how do you eat an elephant? One by
new and I mean, come on, the elephant for the
Republican Party and everything that just that works.

Speaker 3 (01:56:29):
We should we should change.

Speaker 2 (01:56:31):
I need to.

Speaker 3 (01:56:32):
I need to make a graphic for that to put
it on the shirt. How does a donkey really good.

Speaker 7 (01:56:36):
Actually, I didn't think until you were just talking about
like the Death by a thousand cuts, like it only
starts with small little cuts, just one by one.

Speaker 1 (01:56:45):
Yeah, we should make a graphic with a donkey and
an elephant standing next to each other, and they should say,
how does a donkey eat an elephant?

Speaker 3 (01:56:51):
One better thing that way?

Speaker 1 (01:56:53):
That way everybody completely gets the joke. But no, I
mean it's just it's always the same things.

Speaker 3 (01:56:58):
But but that's just it.

Speaker 1 (01:57:00):
I think the only reason that there seems to be
a resurgence, and you saw it today with the parade,
because there were tons of kids in there, even though
all the leftist mediolities you're like, oh nobody showed up, dude.
I was watching kids that were jumping up and down.
There were kids waving flags, and I was and I
was like, from some of the commercials I saw, I
was like, I guarantee you a bunch of people are

(01:57:21):
running out and then listed on Monday.

Speaker 3 (01:57:23):
I guarantee you.

Speaker 2 (01:57:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:57:25):
So you're seeing a resurgence in you know, patriotism and
things like that. But I think it's partly because the
left so drastically overplayed their hand with COVID because most
parents had completely checked out on their kids' education. I mean, now,
even in the nineties when I had kids in grade school,
we were one of like six or seven parents that
would consistently show up for PTA nights and and freaking

(01:57:47):
parent teacher conferences and all the stuff, and everybody nobody
else showed up.

Speaker 7 (01:57:51):
And I'm like, school, I'm pretty sure the PTA moms.

Speaker 11 (01:57:56):
Do not like me.

Speaker 1 (01:57:58):
Well, yeah, I mean, well they didn't like us either,
because we would always do why are we doing this
this way? But I think everybody got a peek behind
the curtain, and when there were all the parents were like,
why are you teaching my kid about this? Because that's
part of the curriculum. No, my kid doesn't need to
learn about this. If I want my kid to learn
about this, I will teach my kid about this.

Speaker 3 (01:58:18):
And that's the thing that just drives me absolutely nuts.

Speaker 1 (01:58:21):
You can't teach a kid about, you know, the Bible,
which is technically the entire basis for our criminal justice
system in this country. But you can teach them about
about why Bobby should be why Bobby should be allowed
to play with Jimmy's penis.

Speaker 7 (01:58:35):
Yeah, And a lot of that is that that planned
parenthood curriculum in schools now and everything, and yes, they
actually like parents have shown like worksheets and everything in
little books and everything that are teaching children how to masturbate,
not just like what it is maybe for sex education,
which is even a step too far for me, but

(01:58:57):
how to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:58:59):
Yeah, there's if any.

Speaker 7 (01:59:01):
Adult wants to talk to my child about this and
tell her how to do it, I'm going to be
calling the police because that is not a person who
needs to be around children.

Speaker 1 (01:59:12):
Weah, But going going back to how how well their
hypocrisy machine works, go back, go back to the Queen
Padilla thing earlier this week where dude was tackled and
well drug out of a press conference and that eventually
supposedly tackled to the ground.

Speaker 3 (01:59:25):
I watched that he wasn't tackled, he was pushed down.
Wasn't a tackle.

Speaker 1 (01:59:30):
But the interesting thing about everybody like, oh my god,
if they could do this to a senator, imagine what
they'll do to you. We don't have to imagine it.
Y'all were having police tackle parents in school board meetings.

Speaker 7 (01:59:42):
I said, they got parents terrorists. Put him on a list.
I mean, now, I gotta.

Speaker 3 (01:59:48):
Put on a watch list for voting for Trump. I
found out one of the last times I tried to fly.
They're like, you know, you have to go through extra screening.

Speaker 1 (01:59:55):
I'm like, for what, I almost I almost never go anywhere,
Like you're on a list, Like, I guarantee it is
because I fucking voted for trumpets because he told us
he was.

Speaker 2 (02:00:04):
Gonna do it.

Speaker 7 (02:00:06):
Oh, I bet, I bet. I'm on all kinds of
watch this's just basically research for the show.

Speaker 3 (02:00:12):
Yeah, well that was the first thing I thought.

Speaker 1 (02:00:15):
I was like, dude, with the weird, with the weird
amount of stuff that I researched depending on the show.
The show that I do, because sometimes, you know, you'll
send me some stuff and I'll try to do some
research to see what else I can find this to
you if there's anything else useful. And then we've got
the juxtaposition stuff, which is all over the place, and
I've got the political stuff that our research every day.

Speaker 3 (02:00:32):
I'm like, dude, I am probably all every watch list
on demand.

Speaker 7 (02:00:37):
Absolutely, Yeah, I don't think we really have much else
to cover, and we're just a hair pass none.

Speaker 1 (02:00:50):
So yep, I'm gonna say if you guys are. If you,
guys are satisfied with where we are, you can start
wrapping up whenever you're ready.

Speaker 7 (02:00:57):
If I say we don't really have an in memorial,
I'll want to. Obviously the Senator and her husband who
were shot and killed today, obviously keep them in your prayers,
Keep their family and their loved ones in your prayers. Wait,
these are the people. I don't care if you disagree
with everything that they've ever stood for as democrats or whatever.

(02:01:17):
They were still human beings. So like, let we we
need to always make sure we don't lose sight of that.

Speaker 3 (02:01:30):
All right? Well, Ken, you're shorter, Where can folks find you?

Speaker 2 (02:01:37):
Right now? I'm in a rain storm behind them mc donald's.

Speaker 3 (02:01:41):
Damn it, you missed. You missed your momentary. You should
have sent them in a rainstorm behind a circle. K.

Speaker 2 (02:01:47):
Oh No, I know what goes on behind circle K.
I'm not getting involved in that.

Speaker 1 (02:01:51):
So wait, how exactly do you know what happens behind
the circle? K? Then if you've not getting gotten not
not not gotten.

Speaker 3 (02:01:57):
Involved in it?

Speaker 7 (02:01:58):
Hey already breaks rule number on all the time, and
he puts it in writing.

Speaker 11 (02:02:05):
I'm easy to find at bumpstot Ken, on it and
co hosts from Ports Forensics every Saturday, or we try
to do every Saturday, so that's easy for me.

Speaker 7 (02:02:18):
Yeah, and I'm Bumpstock Barbie all right for Twitchy, which
you can find author page in my bio, and I've
actually gotten back in the saddle on that so I've
got some new stuff out. We both run the front
Ports Forensics X page, which is FP Underscore Forensics. Pretty
easy to find us there. I have a plant page

(02:02:41):
and a baking page, but that's really about it. That's
more fun stuff than political stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:02:45):
So I still love the name of the plant page.

Speaker 7 (02:02:50):
That actually came from Daniels, so I give him full
credit for that one, because that's really cute.

Speaker 11 (02:02:56):
See the reason that funny is stop it, but stop
Baker is the other one is your bacon pat Yeah, and.
