The Common Sense Conservatives

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Common Sense Conservatives, a political discussion group
about current events and other government related matters, every Wednesday
evening from seven to eight pm right here on WUSMN
fifteen ninety AM, WUSMN ninety five point three FM, and
streaming live on WUSMN dot Live. Making sense of the
inverted reality we are subject to you every day, the

(00:24):
Common Sense Conservatives like here to help bring you back
to reality. Now your host Chris Wyatt, Todd McKinley, and
John Gorvin.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Hey, folks, welcome back. It's John and Chris. It looks
like Todd is tied up somewhere doing something rather important.
What's the word tonight, John, how are you doing up
there in New Hampshire. I'm not sure if it's your
leader my lead tonight. I guess we'll figure it out.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
I have no idea whose lead it is tonight. The
last time it was just you and I. We just
kind of split the lead, and I guess that we're
doing tonight. No big deal, you know, we always get
through it one way or another. We don't care who leads, right, Well.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
That's true. I mean it's look, it's we don't get
paid more if we if we lean.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
No, we don't. It all pays the same. Oh, but
that's okay. We don't mind. We do it for the
fun of it and hope that other people enjoy what
it is we do.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
All right, Well cool, let's talk about my favorite topic.
The man who just keeps winning. He just can't stop winning.
He ended another war and now he's gone to Asia.
He got a trade agree with Vietnam and Malaysia and
Thailand and Singapore. And then he goes Japan. He gets
their highest award and the Prime Minister wants the nominating

(01:36):
for a Nobel Peace Prize. He gets a trade deal
for five hundred and fifty billion dollars. Then he goes
to South Korea. He gets another trade deal for three
hundred and fifty billion, and he lowers the tariffs for
South Korea down to fifteen percent, and for the US
imports it matches a fifteen percent. Now that's fair trade.
Trump just wins everywhere, goes man.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, a lot of people don't understand the tariffs. The
tariffs are a good thing the way Trump is using them.
And we're bringing Todd in now, Hey, hey.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Hey, Todd, welcome back. Now it's quite all right. Todd Chris, Well, no,
it's I mean it was only I say, we've been
on for four minutes. I only talk trash for three
so that doesn't count.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Only three quarters the first four minutes.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
But seriously, you know, it's he just keeps winning and
winning and winning. I mean, it's it's it's it's it's
been ten not even ten months, you know, and we're
looking at we're looking at this. Well, I guess it's
ten months or not. Whatever, it's it's a short period
of time, just one thing. But I'll tell you this months. Yeah,
I tell you the secret to the success, I think,
and I said it when he started this, because they

(02:38):
were just buffeted. They spent four years building a playbook
for this. This is like the Indianapolis Colts come out
and they run the whole first quarter without even calling
a play. Everyone knows what the play is going to be.
Every day, execute this, next day, execute this. They did
so many things, they pushed the left. It so far
confused them so much they had to they had to
marshal the resource. So how many court case they're going

(02:59):
to try and eventually now they're just giving up on
these things. Even Bill Gason it's a global warming isn't
an issue any working that's influence.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Man.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Yeah, if if the global warming was such a problem,
you wouldn't just roll over and be like, yeah, that's okay.
Now come on now, Bill Gates exactly.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
You know, see this though, the people are businesses, and
people tend to roll whatever the president's is agenda. They
try to fit into it somehow, don't they eventually. I
mean Trump had to be a strong advocate for all
this for this to happen. But yeah, when Biden come in,
everybody was all over his agenda. Now Trump come and
it took him ten months. But now they're falling in line.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
I had an agenda. I thought it was all about depends.
He did not have it.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh well, I well he had agenda for sure.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
There that's the answer right there. No, but Trump is
Trump is just he's just knocking out of the park
everywhere he goes. I mean, he's even been trolling the
left about running for a third term, which is unconstitutional.
Right the other day, and they took they took him seriously,
even though Washington Times, a conservative out ran that he
was gonna run.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Sid you gotta turn on your microphone man.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
He said something yesterday about you know, I can hear
something that he's not authorized to run for another term.
But basically he just let out the cattle on the
bag that he's trolling. Basically, you know, he's like, he's like,
IA have it. I don't have the authority to run
for another term. You know that's what he said.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, John, I did have my headset turned down a
little bit. But he was falling underneath as far as all.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, no, he's good. He was. He was going out
over there because I listened in on the air. Yeah, no,
it's it's yeah. He did say that. That's what's so
funny about it. I mean, these people because it fulfills
their wildest bizarrest fantasies, remember right, they wanted to so
so isn't this ironic? I should have sent you guys
this image. I don't know if I did, or maybe
I did. I made a banner with no king's protest,

(04:45):
but of course I put King Franklin Delano Roosevelt on
there and his four elected terms, and the flip side
of it was the current king and Queen Chucky Schumer,
for it was he been in fifty years and then
Nancy Pelosi thirty years, eighty eight years in Congress. The
two of them, you want to talk, and they're worried
about Donald trumping in office for four years and nine months.
Give me a break. These people are just absolute clowns.

(05:08):
No kings, Yeah, no more dingbats. You know, they should
wear signs. You know, Bill vol said, stupid people, but anyway,
crazy stuff. Well I made a song last week called
were a sign. That's right.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
But you got Bernie Sanders, you got AOC and Mom
Dottie all run around New York City, you know, out
there campaigning for him. And I'm like, these are some
of the most dangerous people in our country. And I
know they're not the most dangerous, but these are people
that are have a lot of power, a lot of influence.
You know, anything that they say, people believe it, people
buy into it, you know. So they are really dangerous people.
Maybe not physically themselves, but what they say and what

(05:46):
they do and who follows them makes them dangerous.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Is there something to the name Bernie? I mean when
I think about Bernie, I think of Bernie Sanders. Bernie
made off Bernie co sar and weekend at Bernie's. Yeah,
Bernie goes up. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
I was about to say Bernie Sanders, but I'm I'm like,
wait a minute, Barry Sanders, not Bernie anyway.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Sorry there running back, Barry. I'm just messing around with it,
having fun with it. Yeah, anyway, No, but it's look,
I mean, Trump is kicking out of the park man.
He's just absolutely knocking out. He goes in aircraft care,
gets the heroes welcome from the troops. The troops aren't
being paid, the troops are deployed, they're not being paid,
and they gave him a heroes welcome. You know, the left,

(06:27):
you try to make up all they went about Donald Trump,
but you know, it's it's it's it's it's it's just
it's falling a deaf ears. The world is listening. Heads
of state all over the world are are lining up
to praise Donald Trump for his efforts and get on
board with America despite the fact that we did reciprocal tariffs,
and people are like, okay, we got to work away
through it. We got to negotiate with the Americans, got
to quit cheating them. I love it. I love it.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
I was listening to talk radio today going on doing
some business and some errands, and I heard it, you know,
one of the lefties talk about you know, oh we
got soldiers, we got to law enforcement.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
All these people work without pay.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
And I'm thinking to myself, I've worked with during government
shutdowns and I've worked going without pay for a number
of times.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
You get the back pay. You know you're gonna get paid. Yeah,
But the issue is not that. The issue is now
we're gonna hit actual payday, and people have mortgages, they've
got credit card payments, they've got car payments, so I
mean that's where they get it. But you're right, we've
we've well Congress doesn't work without paid, but we've worked
without pay many times.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
I don't see what the problem is. I'm a truck driver, man,
It's like we've been working without paid forever in a day. Man,
this business is usual for us.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Well, yeah, that makes it tough to pay for that gasoline,
that diesel for the truck if you're not getting paid.
But I'm sure you got to get paid.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Aventution, well, no, the company pays for that. But truck
drivers in general, just that's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Oh, well, being underpaid is a different story than not.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Being it's like not being paid.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Okay, you're sure trying to you're trying to embellish. Okay,
got you.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Got a little bit. It was meant to become of
somewhat humorist, but you missed it.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Never mind, No, I didn't miss it. I that was humorous,
but I just wanted to make sure we were going there. No,
but truck is good, really not, It's okay, neither's Nancy Pelosi.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Well I got something in common with her, then that's true.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
You probably probably hate her. Her nephew too, she hates
him as well.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Kevin is Yeah, that guy. I thinks he's gonna be.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
For sure. Yeah, he's definitely that, that's for sure. You know,
it just amazes me. They just keep trying to pull
this crap everything, this whole thing, like you know what's
going on now with the Democrats, Todd and they're trying
to lay this millstone around Donald Trump's neck and Trump
is preventing healthcare from millions of people. No, he's not. No,

(08:38):
do we all remember what was what was the phrase,
vote for the bill? Just vote for it. Then you
can read the bill. Who said that? Nancy Pelosi way
fifteen years ago when this was passed, and what did
they put in that bill? A sunset clause of thirty
September twenty twenty five. And here it is. They're the
ones denying people healthcare. They're the ones that perverted the

(08:59):
insurance market. They're the ones who hid the true cost
of health care for twenty million Americans. And now they're
no longer in a free ride. They realize how bad
it is because now they have to pay like the
rest of the folks. And that's all been hidden by Obamacare,
the Unaffordable Care Act.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
So messed up thinking about, man, we got to pay
one point two trillion dollars in subsidies to keep the
program going. What kind of program is that? If you're
running the business, you're out of business in no time.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, the problem is that we're paying it is tax payers.
This is an employer sus funding and so we're already
paying taxes which pay for that, and we bury in debt.
Is enough money for it? And oh, by the way,
we pay for other people's health care, but are they
paying for ours? No? Nope. So the whole thing was
never feasible. And this is the insurance companies thought they
were clever, like we're gonna get a guaranteed revenue stream.

(09:45):
It'll grow every year. This is awesome. The government work
with us more when we do billing. No no, no, no,
no no. See, the Democrats put in you can't ban
for pre existing conditions. When they stop pre existing conditions,
the insurance companies were screwed. And that's when this all
took off. People forget that. When this Unaffordable Care Act
went into effect, twenty million working Americans were pushed off

(10:07):
of healthcare because their employers couldn't afford the new premiums.
Twenty million lost their health insurance. Ten many of the
illegals were given healthcare, and twenty million Americans were removed
from health care and they had to go on to
this subsidy program. Now, many of them hard working Americans
who previously got their insurance through their employer because it
was affordable. But now it's not affordable because what the
Democrats did. And and you know a lot of Americans

(10:28):
just don't get it because they don't pay attention. But
I was there. You guys were there. We saw this movie.
We saw it unfold, and many of us said it
was a disaster at the time. Of course, none of
us were on the radio at the time, but I'm
sure we taught our friends and neighbors and tried to
convince the idiots. Well yeah, that was but that was
early days of social media and so you know, Twitter

(10:48):
was the realm of horrible leftists. So I pretty much
stayed off it.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
I remember doctors told me, oh, yeah, it's not perfect,
but we have to start somewhere. It's like you just
released a plan that's not perfect, that's not adequate, telling
me that's okay.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
I will start the place I would have started. Tort reform,
maximum payouts for for medical malpractice. That's where you start.
You fix tort reform. Then from there you go and
you subsidize medical school for people are qualified. Oh yeah,
that's right. As a small government guy, I'm all into
subsidizing medical tuition for valid medical students who qualify for it. Right,

(11:24):
But there's there's a payback. They have to pay us back,
and I'm not telling with the money. It could be
that I'm talking about serving. So if you go and
you become a specialist, you become a plastic surgeon, well
then you have to give so much time, so many years,
so many weeks per year to doing reconstructive surgery for
accident victims and things like that, you know, or or
maybe part of our foreign policy, we need somebody to

(11:44):
go abroad that's an AIDS doctor. You know, it goes
over to Africa or Thailand, helps people with HIV. Any
interest of our national security, our national policy. But you
know that's how you start. You don't, you don't, you
don't Jerry rig and corrupt the insurance market and the payer.
You know, people, most people don't pay for the health
care at all out their pocket. It's the poor people,
I mean poor I means and poor bastards that actually

(12:04):
pay their pocket to see what it costs. Most people
have a co pay or they pay nothing, especially if
it's Medicaid or Medicare or some program that's subsidized. Then
you know, people don't see it. But those of us
who work for ourselves know what that stuff costs. We
pay eighteen percent of income social Security, Medicare. It's a
lot of money. Yep. Oh, absolutely for sure.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
It kind of violates free market, doesn't it. I mean,
if the government isn't controlling it and manipulating.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
It, well, there's no such thing as for free market
in America. I mean, our central Bank pretend to be independent,
but they tend to do things in favor of certain
presidents and not in favor of other presidents. And they
pretend to be in favor of the public, but there
aren't always. That's one aspect of the Other aspect of
it is we subsidize sugar beets, We subsidize oil in
this country. Well, yeah, I meant to say ethanol. That's

(12:56):
what I say. It subsidize ethanol to the detriment of
the economy. You only get one hundred and five percent
of the energy out of the ethanol. That's that's not
a good value and return for all the energy and
pollution that goes into it. Yeah, So I mean it's
it's not a frame market. The government intrudes everywhere. The
government nearly collapsed the entire housing market because they cornered
the market with Fanny May and Freddie Mac by buying
mortgage back, collateral back mortgage securities, packaging mortgages, putting together

(13:20):
and then reselling the marketplace or holding on to them
and getting the dividends paying out from that. You know,
Fandy Man and Freddie Mac. A small portion of Americans
actually qualify for a loan sponsored by them. Only a
handful of people, small percentage people. Most people don't qualify
for it. But in the end, when the subprime mortgage
crisis hit, two out of three every three, sixty seven
percent of all mortgages home loan merges were in the

(13:42):
hands of Fanny Man, Freddie Pack, Freddie Mac because they
had a congressional responsibility, a congressional mandate and a congressional
charter and execute them any but they were allowed to
become publicly traded companies, and therefore they had to respond
to shareholders and have growth. The only way to get
growth in that place, because they were so big, was
to do the collateral backed mortgage securities and make money

(14:04):
off the interest in selling those loans of other people
and buying loans up. And it's just they wound up
controlling two thirds of the housing market without anybody even
realizing it, and they put us in jeopardy because less
than five percent of subprime loans, which is less than
five percent of all loans, so a fraction, maybe one
percent plus of all loans were actually in jeopardy being defaulted.
They didn'tven all default just in jeopardy during the subprime

(14:26):
crisis of two thousand and eight. But because Fandomann Freddie
Mac held most of that worthless paper, the entire system
was put at risk. And here's the bad part. Fandoman
Freddie Mac. Whenever they went into the credit markets to
borrow money as a corporation, because that's what banks do,
they borrow money from other banks, and they prefer lending,
they got preferred rates. They always got a quarter to

(14:47):
half a basis point lower than countrywide, than Washington mutual
country companies that don't exist anymore than Bank of America.
Any formal banking company that went and even if they
were fantastic, I had a great balance sheet, paid more.
Why because the full faith in credit the United States
backs FANO made and freedomac people knew that they were
gold standard. They wouldn't go under, they would survive, and

(15:08):
we bail them out and we proved that be the case.
And so that's a perversion of the free market. That
is not a free market. And the housing market is
such a huge segment because of construction, because of loads,
because of transportation, because of the materials. All of that
comes into play, and by corrupting that marketplace, they've tainted
the entire US economy, and most people don't even even

(15:28):
think about it for a second. But think about it. Also,
the housing sector is one of the biggest employers of
illegal aliens, many of whom are unqualified electricians, plumbers, masons,
and carpenters. Yet they build our homes. Think about that. Yep,
very very true. One hundred percent of what you said.
I agree with it.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
So you're you drinking one of those real cokes from
Mexico with them?

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oh yeah, amigo me goo, yeah, me and migo. That's right,
that's made in Mexico. That's the good stuff. Man. That's
the high test. None of that, none of that that
that you know, low low What are you looking for?
Low lead? This is the high test. Yeah, low lead
for the listeners out there where the colonel of Casa.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
He'll mute his mic and you'll take a big swig
like you Santa Claus on a Coca Cola commercial.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
So I actually I hadn't thought about that, but yeah,
that could be it. And I promise there's no Elves here.
I need some help.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
I think you were trying to say high octane, weren't you.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah, No, no, high test. That's what we used to
call it back in the day, you know it the
octan exactly, the higher octane was called high test. That's
back when we went to filling stations, man, Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Kubert had the airline out. You had the airline with
the bolt at the end of it that ring the
bell every time you ran it over.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
That's right, Yeah, that's that's that's the real world, not
this this stuff of today. Now. I got a discount
club that builds a brand new discount club and they
make the gasoline station so small that nobody can get out.
I experienced that the other day, and there's only like
one little exit and then we put like you know,
twenty and fifteen feet after the pumps, and like four
cars We're all trying to get out, and nobody knew

(17:01):
what the right of way was. So else I wasn't
moving yet, so I was still filling it up. I
hope they get out of there. Yeah. No, it's a
different world now, it's a different world. That's for darn shut.
That's the old d is. You know. I can still
go to New Jersey and you can't pump your gas
there right for for now. Yeah, it's funny.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Driving through there, going to New York years ago, and
I I get to the gas station, I get out
and I'm like about the pumping and they're like, oh no,
there's a guy.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I'm like, oh, no, way, that's cool.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
That's that's a that's a throwback for me from the
from the way back then.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
People don't people don't realize it can be if you're
not if you don't know what you're doing, you can't
doesn't commonly happen. But you can set yourself on fire.
You'll cell phone in the end, all the dis is
a little spark and.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
You're not supposed to be using a cell phone and
a gasoline station.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Well, you also get static.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
What about.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
You get out?

Speaker 2 (17:45):
You can get What about cret you're smoking while you're
filled up? No, that's why I always touched the body
of the car before I grab a pump handle. I
grab myself. Yeah, give me.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
That's why. That's why they have that law in New Jersey.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yep. No, they did it to create jobs and it didn't.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
That's an employment Yeah, that's an employment thing.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Safety, I don't think Okay, they don't care about your safety.
I mean, this is New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Have you ever drank the United State?

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Have you ever drank the water there?

Speaker 3 (18:16):
I must have. I've been in New Jersey more times
than I can count.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
It's so easy. I'll tell you. Every time I go
to jay Zy, I make sure I got plenty of
gas f ily mad and I leave Pennsylvania. It's no
way I'm going to joy Zy getting gas. I went
to Costco and the guy would let me pump gass.
Like what the heck I forgot about their law?

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Did you ever notice when you pay a toll, you're
always paying a toll going out of New Jersey?

Speaker 2 (18:36):
I mean they should pay me for taking time and
spending in New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah, but they're paying you to get out. It was
almost like paying to get out of jail.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
I mean, I've actually stayed in hotels in New Jersey.
I've stayed overnight there. I won't admit that in good company,
but I have.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Apparently we're not good company, Todd either, the listeners.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
No, right, last time I've stayed in Jersey was Cherry Hill,
and this was, you know, two decades ago, and that
was like just for like one week, so that in
and out. But basically i'd spend some time in Philly
doing doing some work for it was advanced work with
the Vice President, and of course he had a visit
to Terry Hill.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
As soon as that was over, I got the heck
out of there. Well, I stayed in New Jersey when
I worked in National Security Agency. I went up to
the AT and T National or their their global operations center. Wow,
you know, the entire world, the entire network. It was
a really cool thing to say. And we had things
similar to that without elaborating at National Security Agency, so
it was pretty cool. And then that's that's up in Bedminster.

(19:29):
That's where Trump's got his golf course of not mistaken. Yeah,
and then I've also stayed there to go watch US
rugby team play Ireland overnighted and where where where where
Spartak is from? He's from? What's the town was?

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Yeah, he's actually not Trenting, Newark.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, he's in Newark. Yes he's from Yeah, yeah, so
where Spartacus is from. I stayed overnight there for a
rugby game. I've stayed over night a couple other times
there too, But yeah, yeah, No, Jersey's all right, we
give it a hard time, but South new he's gorgeous.
It's absolutely beautiful down there. Go east of the I
ninety five gets quite lovely down there. But anyway, but
that's another state that it would prison you for having
a firearm in a violation of the constitution. So you know, yeah, Well,

(20:13):
I used to tell you a story. This was many
years ago.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
My dad was working in New Jersey when I was
a kid, and he had a little thirty eight revolver
five shot snubnose and he clip it on the bottom
of his seat and of course back and then he
had in nineteen eighty he had springs in your seats,
and he just clipped it on there and he got
pulled over by a state trooper out of state tags Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
He went and looked everywhere in that car. He thought
something maybe hit.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
He looked under the seat, leans up, looks back down,
and then looks back up and he goes, all right,
you're free to go.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
And he's like, I know he had to see it.
I know he had to see it. Oh he did,
and he could have arrested in New Jersey. Right, that's
a felony, So let him go. Wow. I don't know
if it's a felony back then, but it is now.
Because we know the case of the woman from Pennsylvania
who'd been raped. He lived in Philadelphia, and you know,
if you've been down the round there were across from Philadelphia,
you gotta be very careful because you make the wrong turn,

(21:03):
you wind up looping around and going across that darn
bridge into New Jersey, which is a toll bridge coming back.
But when you get on the other side, you get
off the first exit you're in New Jersey, you turn around,
and that's what happened to her. She missed the turn.
So she had been raped like twice and her brother said,
get a gun. Get a gun. You could be killed.
So she went. She got a license firearm, she went

(21:23):
to the Raine, she practiced it, she had her permit,
she had it was authorized, was in the car, and
she missed that turn. She went and I've almost missed
that term, so I know, and I've also done intentionally
gone across, so I know where she missed it. And
then you can't turn around. You're going to go across
the bridge, whether you want to or not. So she
went across the bridge, came the first exit, went down.
There was a tripper waiting because she had Pennsylvania plates.

(21:45):
She turned around, went back and had towards the bridge.
Woo pulled over and arrested her for a felony possession
of firearm in those license in yeah, well, well because
she's black. The media jumped on it and the ards
were dismissed, but they put put a white guy from
Georgia whose mother lived in New Jersey during the Bush

(22:06):
administration in prison for like seven years for feenony conviction
or possessional firearm. He was from New Jersey, moved to Georgia,
was married the stranger with his wife was getting divorced.
His mother knew he was coming up. He left, came
up on ninety five. She hadn't heard from him. I
don't know why his phone was dead or no self coverage.
She called the cops for a welfare check on him.
So all they were supposed to do is find him.
The troopers found him on the Jersey Turnpike before he

(22:28):
got to her house, pulled him over, and that was
all I was supposed to be. But they decided to
do a search and he had a lawful licensed firearm
in the back in the trunk in a lock box
like it's supposed to be, and he got a seven
year if I remember call correctly, seven year felony conviction
and spent years as a felon in prison New Jersey
for a second, A member, right, this country is screwed.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
Right, Yeah, And here's the thing, you know, when it
comes to something like that that violates the US Constitution,
the president should be able to, you know, render a
part even if it's a state conviction.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
So it's going to say, that's a promise of state conviction.
So but the governor should have had clemency, but they don't.
They're just evil in New Jersey. So yeah, should never
be prosecuted.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Although not they don't follow laws. You know, there's supposed
to be a law, a federal law saying you have
a right to transport your firearms. So if you want
a firearm here in New Hampshire and say I'm going
to go to Florida, the Florida's reciprocal and laws whatever,
I can legally have it in possession of Florida. I
have a right to transport it in my vehicle between
here and Florida.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
You try to that law, You try that, You try that.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Marylands they don't care about the laws. They just regot
you don't know.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
The law, and well that's a concept of allitercation, which
is a legitimate in this case. Yeah, I agree with you, Supreme.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Well, it's spremacy clause that the U all federal laws
are supreme over state laws.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
When I lived in Maryland, just outside of d C,
there near Andrews, I mean nearly every night you would
hear gunshots, especially on weekends, Friday, Saturdays, gunshots quite regular.
Prince George County, PG County police always blue lights going
somewhere to responding to gunfire.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, no, no doubt about it. I mean that's like music.
I was in the UK and then one time I
was in it, like every five minutes the sirens going off, Like,
my goodness, how dangerous is it are out here? Yeah,
it's funny.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
As there was a guy in the parking lot, you know,
and he's like as a police officer and he lived there,
but they paid him to sit out there, and off
duty on occasion, I just kind of patrolled the parking
lot and he's like, hey, why do you live here?

Speaker 2 (24:33):
And I'm like, and I told him why and where
I worked at and everything. I said.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
It's convenient to get in and out of work. You know,
I'm learning the city, so it's gonna be easy to
live here for a year whatever. And he's like, yeah,
as soon as that year's up, he said, I suggest
you get the heck out of it. He was a
PG County police officer in uniform. He's like, he's like,
he's a black guy too. He's like, you don't belong
over here. Joking with me, He's like, you don't belong
over here.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Well, you know, I had a conversation with a veteran
today at a Starbucks stopped coming back from judge training
down at the county seat and uh, I guess my
when my uh Starbucks app it's a military car the
one I used, and I forgot that was that, And
so she asked me which which spranchure in. So we
got in a conversation while she was ringing up to
drink and we were talking about things because you know,

(25:16):
she still has Ohio license plates on her car. I said, yeah.
I said, you know, I've been pulled over many times
while driving well in the military, and I peeplw I
saw my driving while black. Tried driving well in the military.
You're always in a state and you don't have the
license plate. You drive around the city a couple of times,
and people see the car repeatedly they pull you over.
You pulled her all the time for having out of
state plates and get harrassed. So anyway, yeah, so she said, yep, yep,

(25:39):
because she's security force in there, patrol in the in
the Air Force. And she's like, yep, you're right. It's
driving while in the military.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
Oh yeah, I got pulled over in DC one time,
just going around the block, you know, concentric circles near
the White House, just trying to get a spot to
park because the Ellipse was having some construction or whatever.
Got pulled over for that. They're like, oh, we've seen
you here a couple of times. I'm like, I'm trying
to park a vehicle for crying out loud, Why are
you pulling me over?

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah? I think they're really sensitive DC. I mean they
pulled me over. I was just doing donuts in front
of the capitobility. I know what the problem was, no
big yeah, yeah, okay, Now can you do it to
you right?

Speaker 3 (26:13):
You know, lead it on bad jokes. You got to
bring donuts if you're gonna do donuts.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
Oh my god, I did get pulled over one time,
and I lived This is when I lived in Crystal City,
just across the way near the Pentagon.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
I'd left the Ellipse, and of course I left an event.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
Yeah yeah, I did have like one or two beers,
but you know, I know, I wasn't drunk or anything.
I'm trying to pull in front of this taxi to
make this right hand or near the Jefferson Memorial, and
he's just being kind of a jackass. So I gooseitt
and get in front of him and go on get
pulled over by a white minivan Secret Service uniform division.
He goes, hey, where are you going? And I was like, well,
I told him where I was going. And I told

(26:49):
him where I worked at, and I showed him my
DS and everything, and I was like, you know, I'm
not trying to get out of it, but just let
you know where I work at, you know, and you know,
and he's like, he's like, well, where are you going?
I told me where I was going, and he's like,
can you make it? You know, no problem, he said,
you're not going to come back tonight, right he? I said,
not coming back. I can make it home. He said,
all right, if I see you back over here, I'm
going to arrest you. I said, not a problem, and

(27:09):
I got got out of there, which I don't think
I was drunk. But he said, you know, well, because
you said you had a couple of beers and you
sped in front of the taxi, I have the rights
to actually pull you over and arrest you if I
suspect that you're drunk. He said, I don't think that
you're too intoxicated, So I'm not gonna do his field,
sobriety will let you go.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
You're not too intoxicated, he said, I don't think. He said,
I don't think you're to that level.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
Technically any amount of alcohols intoxication, right or whatever.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Still, that's that's why I was that's his words. I
was going to say, that's why probably not the best.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
This was many years ago, but of course Uniform Division
didn't nearly have filled sobriety tests. They'd have to call
Metro police to come in. And he knew if I
got arrested by them, and then it's gonna be a big,
big trouble for sure.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Well, on that note, in drunken while drive and I'm
just kidding, he gave me a solid. He gave me
a solid. There you go, folks. You're listening to WSMN
The Common Sense Conservatives fifteen ninety on your AM dial,
ninety five point three on the FM dial every Wednesday evening,
rain or shine, snow, sleet or hail, like the postman.
Actually better than the Postman. We're here. Actually that's not true.

(28:15):
We missed a couple of shows, so we'll have to
tell the truth that. But we're here every Wednesday night,
seven and nine pm talking about issues of importance local, national,
geostrategic politics, and events that affect your lives around the world.
We do have a global audience, even though we're based
out of in Nashville, New Hampshire. That's where John Grovener
is sitting in the studio right now, and my other
colleague there, Todd McKinley, is in East Tennessee. I'm in

(28:38):
Central Pennsylvania and we appreciate you joining us once again
this evening for a conversation. Guys. Let me turn direction
to you know, you know, guys, I mean Todd. You
know I'm all into her. I lust after you know,
every republic wh wants to date her. Alexandra Ocazio Cortes.
She screamed like a banshee this week and named every
identity politics group you possibly think of, gays, lesbians, two

(29:00):
eared elves, and and and you know, she was just
it was crazy and and and and you know, and
this group and that group, and she went through the
Irish in there. Okay, uh, yeah, she's like screaming like
a lunatic. But then a couple of days later she
did a tweet in which she attacked Riley Gaines again.
I mean, she's you know, if you would have spent
more time focused on swimming, we'd have done better than

(29:20):
fifth place. Ow. She's what like a twelve time All
American or something like that. I mean, you know, Riley
Gaines is because she's a scholar athlete. Now she's got
like probably the most important job of her life. She's
a mom. How about Alexander Cortees, you know, go back
to mixing drinks a little bit better, That might be
a good use of her time. Yeah, what a piece
of crap.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
One of the greatest female swimmers in the world for
crying out loud. You know, sadly had to compete against
trans man for sure, Uh, but still better than most
men out there for sure.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Actually I must correct you. It's a trans woman. It's
a biological male. You see trans men.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
I'm with Todd. I can't keep track.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
I'm just I don't care enough to keep it straight.
Yeah right, I am going to protest the two of you.
You're canceled. You're canceled. I've been there, got the T shirt. Yeah,
it's been canceled before anyway. Yeah, no, it's so. Riley
Gaines is an amazing person. And here's the thing about
Riley that people forget. Before she got married. She's single,

(30:26):
she's a college student. She stood up with courage in
the face of the woke tide. It was a tsunami
of wokeism coming down the pike. Most people sat back
and said, we were talking about it, we were challenging it.
But most people just sat back and don't. I don't
want to be called a big and I don't want
to be called this. I don't call that. I don't

(30:46):
want to. I don't want to be accused of saying
people with this are mentally ill, even though the American
Psychology Associations said they were until about ten years ago.
You know, I don't want to be accused of that,
So most people just sat back and just let it
all ride. Next thing, you know, we got the nonsense
happening and girls' bathrooms in high schools, which we've seen
in Virginia and elsewhere, which got helped get Glenn Youngkin elected.
But Riley Gaines stood against the wind. You know she was.

(31:10):
She was like facing Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica. That's what
she was, all by herself, leaning to that one hundred
and ninety five mint o. Man. That was crazy one
hundred and ninety five min hour gusts or not gus,
but you know, sustained wins. She did that when it
wasn't cool or popular. Now the tithes have changed, the
tides have shifted. The now look, folks, if you are

(31:31):
transgender or you know someone's transgender, we're not attacking transgender.
We have you know, I just know we have respect
and empathy for people that go through that. We're talking
about the woke political narrative and objective. It was meant
to pervert and twist the minds of prepebest and pe
bestent kids going through puberty, whether pebstent who are going

(31:52):
with surge of hormones, boys and girls and going through
a difficult time in their life. We all went through that.
Just because you feel out of place, does me you're
a different gender or sex than someone who's talking your
ears telling you. So that's what we're talking about. But
she stood up when no one else would stand up,
and that was brave. Now, to be fair, she's famous now,

(32:12):
you know, But but I mean, you know, she could
have been a footnote history. I mean, what's what's what's
what's what's the Miller likee girl? The transgender? Uh? Yeah,
what's Dylan Dylan Dion? Yeah, Dylan Dylan mulvaney there you go.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
You guys remember his name. I'm kind of curious.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
Well, there was a comedian named mullaney, so I kind
of remember it that way.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Mullaney made an association John Mullaney. So you were you
put up like a poster of this guy or anything? Right?

Speaker 2 (32:38):
It wasn't like you, Hey John, how's that bud Light? Man?

Speaker 3 (32:46):
I don't know. I don't drink bud Light. Even when
I drink bud was Remember when I had.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
My first beer? Guys? It was rolling rock? Oh, PBR
perhaps Blue Rhythm? You remember it?

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Remember it? Seems to me that truge transgender folks were
taking offense to what the left wards was.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Doing well, And that's exactly true. And I told people
in the gay community about ten years before that, I said, guys,
you're gonna be Yesterday's fish. They're gonna throw you out. Yeah, like,
were you talking about man, Like this transgender thing. You
pay attention. This is gonna be gonna be a big thing.
And I didn't know how long it's gonna take, but
I was right. I was ten years then. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
Yeah, several years ago I was talking to a log
cabin Republican at Seapack and we were talking about that,
and he said, it's not gonna just be trans. It's
going to be the child Molesser's the pedals. They're gonna
they're gonna come in the moment.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
They've been trying to do that for a long time
with yamble and things like that. But yeah, yeah, I mean,
so that's that's been coming for a long time. But
I saw this. I saw this as a political movement,
and sure enough, and they tried to de pick people
as biggots because they are unwilling to suspend reality. Yeah,
that's just tough. That's tough anyway. I mean the conversation
we're having now. If we'd have done this on YouTube,

(33:56):
the channel will be gone, you know a few years
ago because they were censoring people's content. They call people
on the conservative side anti science. Yet we're the ones
that believe in science. We're the ones that look at
ice cores. We're the ones that know that the temperature
was lower a thousand years ago, we had many ice stage.
We're the ones that know that the amount of carbon
dioxide in the are easy and remotely approaching what it

(34:16):
was during the Jurassic period when the entire planet was
heavily vegetated. You know, we're the ones that believe in science.
We're the ones that believe science will lead us out
of trouble. We reduce emissions, we get rid of acid rain,
we improve you know, mileage and vehicles. We're the ones
believe that it's the left that doesn't believe life begins
a conception. That's science, right, that's science. A sperm today

(34:39):
meets and divide and life is formed. Right, and then
left says trust the science. There you go, you just
explained it done. Trust exactly exactly. You know, so it's
it's the left that doesn't believe in that. So anyway,
just once again, this won't be that clear because some
people get emotional about these issues and understandably so we're
not maligning anyone who's truly man's gender or someone that

(35:01):
thinks they might be that's going through that. But if
someone's talking in your ear, you should be suspicious. Yep.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
Absolutely, yeah, especially in sysing that you believe their way.
And if you have even have a question and they
want to attack you or slight you or defriend you whatever, Yeah,
then I would definitely not follow their agenda. They don't
know what they're talking about. They want to force you
to try to follow. How about you let me investigate,
let me come to my own conclusion. You know, factual
people do that.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
I like the I like the old days when we
see people like kill the Clinton talking against homosexual people.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
What you ran for president in twenty sixteen?

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Right, yeah he suddenly now she's oh, I'm for it.
I always have been. It's like, you know, there's recorded
footage if you like, come on, give me a break.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
So I see The Times in London was duped by
a Bill de Blasio look alike.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
It is.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yeah, so this Bill de Blasia look alike said all
these bad things about Zora and Mom Donnie as if
it's hard to find anything bad to say about him,
and de Blasio came out with double barrel. I didn't
know what happened to Wilhelm. He just disappeared. But Bill
Deblasio came out on an act and he said, I
want to be one hundred percent clear, the story of
the Times of London is entirely false and fabricated. That

(36:13):
would be redundant. Well no, not really both, Okay, it
was just brought to my attention. I'm appalled. I never
spoke to that reporter. I never said those things. Those
quotes aren't mine. They don't reflect my views. Oh he
supports there on Mom DOMMI uh. Good to see that
the city that was attacked by fanatical racist Muslims is
now the city embracing son of a fanatical Islamist from

(36:38):
Uganda slash South Africa. Good to see that the city's
completely turn around now and we've handed it over to
someone who actually endorses hamas endorses what happened on nine
to eleven. Pretty scary stuff.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
Yeah, and what happened all the people that were running
around talking about never forget, you know, that were so united,
you know, let's never forget nine to eleven. All of
a sudden you're gonna you're basically it's like I liked
in one of the terror to hijack one of the aircraft.
Maybe he survived somehow, it climbed down the World Trade Center.
Now he's running for mayor. It'd be like electing one
of those guys in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Well, I mean, this is the same crowd that had
you know, Ukrainian American lapel pins on until they got
tired of carrying him. But the warst still going on.
Now they've all melted into the woodwork. It's just people
that don't think for themselves and don't get it, you know,
It's just the people. I remember, I came back from
Tunisia after nine eleven, and that's when I haven't been

(37:30):
the States for years because I've been overseas. I came
back and everyone is thanking me for my service, and
I'm like, okay, thanks, I've never experienced this before. After
eight years in the army, suddenly people were walking up
in the street and thanking me for being in the Army.
It was kind of weird. A lot of those people
met well. But I guarantee that most of those people
it wasn't a core part of who they were. It
was just because that's what was being done at the time.
That's what's expected. Now Here in Pennsylvania, you get all

(37:52):
the time people. People are very very patriotic in Pennsylvania,
at least in the Middle Park. I can't speak for
Phildelphia Pittsburgh, but in the Middle Park they're very patrio people.
Thank you all the time. But that's genuine. I mean
genuin from a standpoint. Some of them might be younger
and not know why they do it and understand the
true meaning of it, but they do it because they
genuinely mean it, whereas back then people just did it
because it was rah rah Look. Oh the Cowboys are
number one. I'm a Cowboys fan. Oh the Ravens a

(38:14):
number one. I'm a Ravens fan. You know that's you know, yeah, anyway.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
The bandwagon effect.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Oh yeah, exactly. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
It's funny that back whenever I was a much younger guy,
you go to the bars or whatever right after the
Super Bowl. You come in the next week, see who's
wearing those jerseys in that hat and everything.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
It's like, wait a minute.

Speaker 4 (38:31):
Last week, like you said, you're the Raiders fan, Now
you're the Patriots fan because they won the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Come on now, pick a teen, pick a lane. Well,
you know, it's interesting because with sports, I've always been
a one team. I've never changed. I've been Orioles fans
since I was five, which is my favorite number, and
it was Brooks Robins's number, and so it worked out
pretty well. And I was a Colts fan since nineteen
seventy five, was a little bit older, but it's when
I finally got to watch my first Colts game. I
was actually living in Pennsylvan eighth time and stuck with

(38:56):
the colt even though I watch the NFL anymore. In
the NBA, I was a kid. I was a Bullets fan,
but then they became you know, the Capitals, but I
became I didn't really follow the NBA until Jordan came
in the league. I mean, I found a little bit
of bird and Magic, but it wasn't my cup team.
But when Jordan came in, because I followed him in
college basketball, that's when I became a Bulls fan. But

(39:18):
that was just while Jordan was playing. I followed him
when he went to DC. But the one time I changed,
I changed my hats all the time. But that's the NHL.
That's the NHL. There was no hockey team around when
I was a kid, and you couldn't watch hockey. So
I as a kid living in Pennsylvania, briefly I became
a Flyers fan because you know, it was Bobby Clark,
you know, the broad Street Bullies and so, but I
never get to watch it. Then I came back in

(39:39):
nineteen eighty nine from Germany after my first tour there,
and the New Jersey Devils had come into league and
Mark Temporo Door was a goalie. I liked him and
watching timber Door class maybe watching international hockey. Yeah, the
greatest goalie of all time. Yes, yes, And I became
a Devil's fan because of him alone, and they later
wound up winning two Sami Cups from it was pretty cool.

(40:00):
Then I left those overseas, I came back and I
wound up becoming years later, well they weren't doing anything,
so I mean I came back and New Jersey was boring.
Was their salad days whatever? So I saw that Peter Forstburg,
who was one of my favorite hockey players, was now
going to be playing for Colorado, and so they were

(40:21):
a new team that used to be the Quebec nord Eaks,
and so they became a Colorado Avalanche. I love the
color scheme and Peter Forrestberg's here, so I became a fan.
And then they want to stand the cup for me
Patrick wa Yeah. They won that one, and then after
that I was overseas again. I came back and Columbus
had a team now, and I went to high school
and college in Ohio. I liked it. They called themselves

(40:42):
the name they gave themselves as tribute to the Civil War,
and so I became a Columbus fan. And they won
eighteen straight games. And then I went to the nineteenth
game and they lost to the Capitols in DC. I
must have been bad on a night when I had
to drive home in four inches of snow. It was
especial evening, to say the least. But then on came
the Vegas gold Knights to the the The Golden Knights

(41:04):
was owned by a former Army officer West Point graduate,
and he wanted to pay homage and tribute to the Army,
and so he named his team. He wanted to call
him the Black Knights, but of course that's the Academy,
so it couldn't do that. So it came up with
the gold Knights because Vegas golden glitz, you know, and
casinos money and that. You know. The Army actually sued
him US government over the trademark for a couple of years.
They finally settled it. But I became a Golden Knights.

(41:26):
I was crazy. I became. I became a Golden Knights
even though he didn't use Black Knights. I became a
gold Knights fan the moment I found out that a
franchise didn't even know what players are going to get.
And then I watched every single game of their first
season all the way through to the Stanley Cup Finals. Ah.
It just so, that's the one sport that was a
long story there, but that's the one sport where I
change hats. But Tod's day Vegas first, then for me

(41:49):
it's Columbus Colorado, and now it's also Utah mammoth Utah, huh. Yeah,
they got a team. It's out Salt Lake. Yeah, I
see you, Tom mammoth Man. I was just there. That's
where they came. Is that mine? Lee? What is that
is that? No? That's NHL? Is it last season? They
had a winning season in an August season. Now they're

(42:10):
in the second season. Yeah, man, okay, yeah, yeah, I
I couldn't remember that. Okay, Wow, very cool. I don't
have a jersey because I was at the store in
Salt Lake. They didn't sell any jerseys, and I'm what
that is this? What kind of kind of what kind
of pro store is this? There's no jerseys probably just
as well, they probably would have been five hundred dollars
and everything that was way overpriced. Thanks anyway. Yeah, so

(42:30):
that's the one sport where I change anyway. All right.
But Willhelm Willhelm was uh, the the Wilhelm look alike
duped the Times of London. Yeah, that's hilarious. I mean
what did he say? Was he just going off on
Mamdani or whatever? Well, let me see if it's something here.
It's uh, I don't know what exactly he said. The

(42:51):
Times apologize. Yeah, that doesn't say what was said. Because
the story was ripped down. I don't think many people
got a screencapture of it. If you click on the link,
the story is gone. The Times took me down. They apologize,
but he said, you know, this guy's policies are all
messed up, unworkable. But that's not what happened. It was.
It was it was a body double.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
But you would have to be like, this is suspect.
What happened to you?

Speaker 2 (43:13):
Did he did?

Speaker 4 (43:13):
Did Blasio fall and hit his head or something? Why
would he be against mom GANI, you know, because that's
that's where he would want to go.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Exactly. I don't understand it, you know, I mean they're
all falling a line from mom Donnie. The guy is
all I mean, he's got this in the bag. He
doesn't have to try, but he still runs around the lines.
Did you guys catch the lie this week about how
his aunt was so terrified here in New York City
she could go out wear a good job after I
love it? Does the wear hit job is not from
New York, doesn't live there, and it's dead and was

(43:40):
living in Uganda at the time that this is supposedly happened.
It wasn't his aunt.

Speaker 4 (43:43):
It was a cousin, right, and there's a picture of
her right beside him with no hit job.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Yeah, exactly, So you know this guy's uh. I guess
his mother came out and said he's not really an American.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
Yeah all that.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
Yeah, and didn't she say something back in twenty thirteen
she gave an interview and like, oh, he's more you
ganded in this than he is.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
You know, he's not really American.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
Basically he doesn't live here as much, he doesn't have
much to do with America whatever she said, but basically
he's not an American.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
Well, I've lived in Uganda. He's sure as heck isn't Uganda.
And no, I'm not saying it from a position to bigotry.
I know Indians who live in Uganda, and he ain't
like them. No, no, no, no, not at all. It's
like I'm watching a Bond villain Zora and Mandami. You
know what was that was the one movie, the later
Bond movie, The mid Range Zorn Industries or something like that.

(44:29):
So it's like, I feel like I'm listening a Bond
villain here. Yeah that's exactly right.

Speaker 4 (44:34):
Yeah, a b movie or Bond villain. But but here
he's going to be mayor of New York City, for
granted aloud, I mean danger here.

Speaker 3 (44:40):
Well, you sure I'm looking at the poles yesterday because
we were enterviewing Gonzala durand I know they closed up.
He's running for public advocate anyway. So I'm looking at
the poles over there, and the poles are showing maybe
hold six hundred people voters.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
That's a small sam.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Yeah, I'm thinking all of them were that way, five hundred,
six hundred, and they're showing him maybe a ten point
to fifteen point spread between the pom all when and
Mom don me and so I'm thinking to myself, you know,
there's millions and millions of people of in New York City,
you know, like two point five million in Brooklyn, two
point five million in Bronx, somewhere around their five hundred
thousand in Staten Island. So it's it seems to me

(45:21):
that they weren't doing very hard in these polls, more
or less like they were trying to sway people's opinion
based on the polls.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Well, this is not this is not going the way
I thought it would go. Because I thought that what
would happen here is slave Wood would get twenty five
to thirty two percent, and that the other two would
split the Democratic vote and courteusly would slip in as
a republican government with a plurality or a republican mayor.
But it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. But if
that's only a fifteen point spread, that's not what it

(45:49):
was a couple weeks ago. He was leading fifty something
to twenty eight. So if it's down to fifteen points,
that that quickly, that that might be something's catchable, especially
if yeah, well.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
There are already starting voting, right, They got early voting
starting this weekend and Tuesday next week, so we'll see
what happens.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
Quinnipiac has him at forty three thirty three, and Slilo
Sliwa is fourteen percent. So I don't know if he
if he dropped out indorse Cuomo, you know, bite the bullet,
indorse Cuomo, maybe that pulls him even I don't know.

Speaker 3 (46:20):
He was last night or by the way they do
the polls the previous day.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
Ut yeah, I was just looking at different poles, and
Quinnipiac's pretty popular and good, well, it's pretty reliable Quinnipiac too,
that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
But I mean, so look, I find that Cuomo thoroughly repulsive.
But the sexual perve is better than the Islamic fanatic.

Speaker 4 (46:38):
No, absolutely, I'd take a PERV because we know, we
know how we can deal with a PERV. You know,
how could we get kick him out of office once
he's in office?

Speaker 3 (46:45):
You know exactly that that's the issue within itself, isn't it.
I mean it's voting for the lesser two evils.

Speaker 4 (46:51):
Right, which is sad. But we have to discuss that,
you know, And that's where we're at. But we know
what we're getting with Cuomo. You know, we're getting pure evil.

Speaker 3 (46:59):
We ain't we're not getting anything what we New York.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
Is arguably still the most important city and in the
nation and one of the most Yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (47:08):
We do get it because the financial district of New
York affects all of us and and and Madison Avenue,
the place that thinks that the only people in America
live here are black Americans, based on the advertisings ICE
on TV ninety five percent black. You know, when it's
only lepers in the population. Madison Avenue and Wall Street
have a ripple effect across this country and affect everything
from finance to business development to you know, it's just

(47:31):
without those and that's in New York and he wants
to tax those people even more, which is is not
going to be good for the rest of us. It's
just insane. Free government run grocery stores. What is this?
The Soviet Union did not see that movie?

Speaker 4 (47:44):
How quick would that? How quick would that collapse? You
think two months with it? Yeah, a couple of months maybe?

Speaker 3 (47:52):
Yeah. What I think about it is, I mean it's
proven time and time again. We just talked about earlier
with the Wallmacare. Government is enough when it comes to
managing these sorts of things.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
And that's what the Left just can't wrap their head around,
or refuse to wrap their head around, the fact that
human beings are freethinking creatures and they behave the way
that's in their interest. That's why incentives work. The profit
motive is the best incentive. The free market is the
best system because it will drive people towards a profit
motive in a responsible way so that they profit. But

(48:24):
oftentimes there's other beneficiaries of it. You know, it drives
me nuts that they think that they can just legislate
how people behave. They don't understand human nature at all.
There will always be creepy, nasty people. Fortunately, it's a
small percentage population, there will always be people cheat others.
Hopefully it's a small percentage, but people are motivated by incentives.

(48:45):
If the state runs something, the only people motivated are
the people in charge of the state enterprise and not
the people working for them, because they can't get ahead,
they can't get somewhere. But the people a top can
grift to do what they want. So they have to
understand that. But the left refuses to accept the people
have in an nature, and that is to do what's
in their self interest.

Speaker 3 (49:03):
So to your point, years ago, I was at a
very very large trucking company and when the dispatcher's made
stiment says, so we love our owner operators. And the
reason why she said that is because they will work very,
very hard because they feel like they got a stake
in it. They feel like they have their own business.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
You have skin in the game.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
Yeah, right, So they they will even though they're making
less money. And this is what I was referring to
early want to talk about working for free right, because
a lot of owner operators struggle. They but they will
work their butts off because they want to be successful.
They know they have something at stake care now and
they want to win.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Well, it's like corporations to do profit sharing, or the
employees are our members, they're they're shareholders. They want the
company to succeed because it's in their best interest. People
that simply receive a paycheck for corporation may see that,
but most won't see that, and most won't care. What
do I care if this company succeeds or fails, right
in a job somewhere else. But when it's your st

(50:00):
when it's your skin in the game, you put forth
your best effort most of the time. And that's the key.
And that's the magic of capitalism. That's why capitalism is
so successful. That plus it's the simplicity of it. Supply demand,
too much supply, no demand, too much demand, very pricey supply.
So you know, it's a perfect system. You can't legislate communism.
It doesn't work. There's no utopia out there. I mean, look,

(50:23):
even in the places of utopia, I watched them zap
all the guys and Logan's run, so it really wasn't
a utopia right right now, It's true.

Speaker 4 (50:31):
And they chased them down when they said, hey, we
don't want to be killed we don't want to go
with a carousel, leave us alone.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
Yeah, you go to carousel, your light turns on. Yeah,
you can't live past the age of thirty. What a
great movie, Jenny Ager, Michael Yorke, what a great movie, man.

Speaker 4 (50:47):
Yeah, well, a couple of those people, the main actors
were actually over thirty anyway while they're playing.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Yeah, and then of course Peter usen Off when they
go out and then see him, he was like he
was ancient. Yeah. No, what a great movie. I mean
I saw that as a kid. It's still I still
remember vividly. And Jennie Ager. She was hot. Farah Fawson
had a cameo as as a sex partner in that thing.
There's no sex, but she's just like, you know, you
flip through and then you know, right, hook up.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
It's kind of like where we're at now with technology,
you know, where it's just swiped this way, swiped that way.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Whatever. It's kind of it was kind of her precursor,
if you will, you know, looking at that, Yeah, I
guess the all the difference is it's not a hologram
in front of you. You could just I especially could
go on to tic or not ticked up, But WhatsApp
or something or telegram or do that? Do it that good?
That way? Right? Absolutely?

Speaker 4 (51:33):
And it's funny is these movies from way back, you know,
like Stanley Kubrick's two thousand and one. I mean just
such a such a great movie that was filmed before
you you even went to the Moon, before we even
had Earth rise. If you will, that picture of Earth
from the Moon from space, what does it look like?
I think that's probably the only thing that they really
got wrong in that entire movie. I mean, just what
the stuff that they projected, you know, so this is

(51:55):
how space travel will work, and now we're finding out, yeah,
it actually works that way.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
Well, I've always loved science fiction. I've been a fascinated
whether there's a kid. Of course you had Star Trek
and Lost in Space stuff like that. But if you
think about all the things, you know, Kirk had a communicator.
Now we've got mobile phones. I mean I remember back
in the day it was a flip phone basically the
same thing as that they had, right, and they use
a try quorder to do all kinds of medical measurement
stuff like that. Now you got the cardiomobile. You can

(52:21):
check your your it's any kg in your fingers, you know.
I mean it's not quite the same as a try quarder,
but but you get the point. I mean all these.
I mean the other thing I'm a little LERI is
the transporter. I think I'll pass on that one, right,
But well, here's the debate. Is it still you or
is it a different you? At that point?

Speaker 4 (52:37):
You know, what did you die during that situation?

Speaker 2 (52:40):
And you are your legs the same length that your
ears come out in the right place.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
You're measuring, kirk, let me see what happened You're you're
crossing this with the fly, right, and then what happened
to him?

Speaker 2 (52:54):
Yes? Is that Jeff Jeff Goldblum was in there or
the second one?

Speaker 3 (52:58):
The second one? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (53:00):
And then you know these movies you see back in
the day, like you know, the Invasion of the Body Snatchers,
So that was a kid that that's it scared the
Jesus out of me. That's a creepy Donald Sutheram was
in that, if I remember correctly.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
I think I remember about that as it was the
dog with the man, the barking manhead or something.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
Oh well, dark barking dogheads. I remember, you know, Mars
invades and that's what's gotten Sarah Sarah Jessica Parker on
her head on. That was great, man, No, there was.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
There was a bit in that because it freaked me out.
I don't remember now, I was a little kid when
that came out, but yeah, invasion of the body snatches.
It was like a dog, but it had a man's
head on them, but it was barking at somebody.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
But I mean, if you go back at time, audiences
are so easy, man. People were enthralled by the blob.
You know, come oh, it's just it's just a bunch
of petroleum jelly using through the streets, man, come down.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
Yeah, but it was consuming people, right, Well that's good.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
That's because they need to wear a sign. They stood
around instead of run away, get away from it. Here's
just how sorry, you don't need anywhere you've been consumed
by the blob. Let me just exit States Left suffering
suck attash E said, State's left.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
Cultural references Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did one of those
things judge training and they're asking questions. It was getting
late in the day and I'm like, mister kuta, mischa.
Two or three people laugh. The room had one hundred people.
I was like, man, these people have no idea what
I'm talking about. Oh my goodness. Tough crowd, right, yeah,

(54:28):
they all should have got it. They were older than me.

Speaker 3 (54:32):
You can get no respect, that's.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
Right, no respect. I can't get no respect. I gotta
grab a collar. Yeah. Rodney Dangerfield, Yeah, it's funny how
guys will make career like he did that no respect.
And of course Foster Brooks, you know, Foster Brooks had
made a crew of pretending to be a drunk. I
don'tive drank. He's pretty good at though.

Speaker 4 (54:51):
Rodney Dangerville, like in the Green Roope, could just do
a shtick back there and make all the comics just
laugh and cut up.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
You know, he can entertain anybody.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
Yeah, tunny. Oh it's really funny back in the day.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:04):
Yeah, some of these guys really were and became famous
much later in life. You know, if you will most
people nowadays, it's your teenage or twenty something. But I
think he was in his forties whenever he became really famous.

Speaker 5 (55:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:16):
Yeah, but what Caddy Shack? Did he playing Caddy Shack?

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Yeah he was, Yeah, he was in Caddy Shack.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
Yeah, he he did that one in the mid nineteen eighties.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
Back to School, Back to School.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
Yeah, yeah, that was funny.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
That was great, easy money. Yeah, oh yeah, the Triple Lindy.
He goes and hits all the different diving boards. Guys.
You know, company's making a comeback. We've been swhere almost
out of time now, but we'll finish the second half
half too. But but comedy's making comeback. You know, for
years now you couldn't say anying because of political correctness.

(55:47):
But we got some fantastic comedians now, like Leonardo Joni
and Nicholas Decanta. We'll talk about that next hour. Guy.
Stick around with us ye.

Speaker 5 (56:12):
WUSMN fifteen ninety WSMN ninety five point three FM, nashaua
listen watch in stream at WSMN got live.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
Memorials of Distinction once again, gainst it the mindments. I
wonder how Roger's doing this week there, John Hope, He's
doing well.

Speaker 3 (56:32):
Oh yeah, as do I.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
Yeah, you know they're talking there a few moments ago
about you know, Big Lou he's on meds too. Sounds
like a lot of Democrats they need to be on meds.

Speaker 3 (56:44):
I was cracking up on that one. I heard that.

Speaker 4 (56:47):
It reminds me of one flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
right where they medicate him so heavily that they're just
kind of there in person, but their mind's gone.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
That's not the damn though.

Speaker 4 (56:55):
They're making mindless decisions out there. Maybe they should take
meds and get their mind right.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
I don't know if that would help.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
The dims are making up the zombie nation.

Speaker 4 (57:04):
Somebody like us if we take if we take medication
like that, you know, we're gonna be like zombies. But
if they take it, maybe they'll put them in the
right mind. I don't know, we'll see Nurse Ratchet anyone.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
You'd like them for the mines to go right, but
they keep going left, all.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
Right, Yeah, going the wrong way. So we got another
case of trafficking of British women, white women by these
people from elsewhere. A Romanian grooming gang led by a winking,
smirking pimp have been jailed for raping and sexually abusing
ten women in flats across Dundee. Remember that little girl

(57:38):
who was brandishing a machete because this creepy pito was
coming up and trying to get her sister? Well, yeah,
that was also in Scotland. Yeah. So the ringleader Marianna
Companassu thirty eight, long with Remus Stan thirty five, Christian
or Latinau forty one, Catalan Dobra forty five and Alexandra
Buginea thirty five were previously vic to thirty charges at

(58:01):
the High Court in Glasgow. But Companisco is sentenced to
twenty four years or Latano to twelve years stand of
twelve years or twenty years then twelve years, dell Bray
to ten years and will go on into eight years.
And the judge, Lord Scott said the number of the
group deflected and minimize their offending against vulnerable victims. He added,
by offering them an unending supply of mostly free crack cocaine,

(58:24):
you exacerbated their vulnerabilities and proceeded to exploit them for
your own sexual gratification in some cases for financial gain.
No doubt you assume rightly for some times the drug
related lifestyles these women meant that you were not reported
or detected. He said that the gang used the vulnerability
of the women to try to attack their credibility in
the trial, and the judge said, it may be you

(58:45):
thought that no one cared for your victims, mean, you
could do whatever you wanted to them without consequences. If so,
events have proved you wrong. Each of the women found
the strength to give evidence despite their difficulties and have
taken steps to move on from that stage of their lives. Wow,
that's crazy. So once again aliens in the midst of
the United Kingdom abusing women and girls in that country.

(59:06):
It's sick. It went on for decades while the police
look the other way. It reminds me of the German
police looking the other way when over thirteen hundred German
women and girls were sexual assaulted in a rape during
the year's festival around the country, covered up by the
Buddhist criminad opt intentionally and Miracle's government trying to hide
the fact that they let millions of undocumented people into
the country, who many of whom have no respect for

(59:28):
women and just think their objects and just assault them
in public anyway. Yep, absolutely, And they did it to
themselves by having just open borders, allowing people just to
come in.

Speaker 4 (59:38):
There freely, not checking who's there, not having a true
immigration system, kind of like how the Left wants to
do in our country here.

Speaker 3 (59:44):
Well, they've been doing in our country well.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
Until January twenty first, yeah, oh of course.

Speaker 4 (59:49):
But I'm talking about we're going to get to the
point where we can't even call the police on these
illegal immigrants who are raping kids, you know, because are
going to cover up for it.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
That's where we're going to get. Well, the if the
police are either complicit or they don't want to be exposed,
then they just start harassing you, you know, come by,
you know, what have you done? And sorry, why are
you why are you being such as xenophobe or whatever?
You know, you need to stop it. We're gonna rest you.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
Well, what Chris, what Chris read there is they use
drugs as an influence to manipulate these girls into this.
And that's why it's so important for us to stop
our muling and our drug trades here in the United
States because the same thing happens here. We don't want
to admit that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Oh no, it does. I mean I know this story.
Go ahead, I'll let you go to then I'll tell
a story. It does, but it doesn't happen with these
these grooming gangs like like they have in the UK.
We don't have that problem yet.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
But it doesn't matter that we have dreaming gangs.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
Oh oh no, I get I get.

Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
It, but not we've not allowed illegals in here, in
alloted of well operated autonomy.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
I think one of the different I think the difference
here between what happened in the Midlands of the UK,
which affected three or four thousand young girls, most of
them are like nine to twelve or thirteen years old.
When they're they're drug and this stuff. The difference there
is that is that the police knew about it, and
he turned a blind eye, which basically gave these creeps
the green light to rape and sexually assault, and and

(01:01:11):
and and prostitute and imprison these girls and then fill
them full of alcohol and drugs. Whereas in the US,
I'm not aware of major rings like this that are
undetected or ignored by authorities. Usually we have FBI staying
operations going on all the time trying to hunt down
human traffickers. It's the Democrats that facilitate human trafficking by
allowing their orders to be open. I can see us

(01:01:33):
getting to that point.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Abrigio Garcias was caught doing that, trafficking women among different
states in these games. That's what they do. They have affiliations,
and they move these women around so they don't get
settled into a place and start figuring a place out
and make it escape. They keep them all all they
keep shuttling them around, exchanging them. It's pretty bad in
this country. We just don't want it's one of the
worst countries in the world for human trafficking. We just

(01:01:56):
won't admit it. NFL you have, you have a super
or you have NFL games, they're trafficking them the stadium
so they're available for these people, for tourists or whatever.
It's a horrible thing. And I'm thinking to myself, you
know they're doing this, that should be the prime target
to surveil this, to find who's doing this and apprehend them.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Well, it's such a pervasive, global, corrupt enterprise that it's difficult.
But I mean, we had the situation here when I
moved back to the States in twenty fifteen that had
cropped up public you know, just before that exposed about
the girls from the Toledo area being recruited, groomed, and
trafficked and brought to Pennsylvania to work truck stops as prostitutes.

(01:02:36):
And those are thirteen twelve thirteen year old girls. Yes,
it's unreal. It's sickening that was busted. Then they got
a lot of the people involved.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
What's unreal to me is it takes a participant. What
I'm saying here is there are people out there that
are probably hearing us now, that are willing to engage
in these activities, and they ought to be ashamed of
themselves because they're supporting criminal activities are harming individuals of
the United States of America, but it's also harming our
country as a whole well, and it's not just that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
I mean, you know, on an individual basis, an event
like this happening to a child, it's one thing to
be robbed or a physically assault that or even sexual assaulted.
As an adult, when your mind is formed, your mannerisms
are better for your defenses, your coping mechanism there. But
a child, I mean, this damage is someone potentially for

(01:03:26):
their entire life unless they have a really strong person
really strong personality and a lot of constitution, which is
difficult for kids to do, you know, But I imagine
this happened to thousands of kids and the police ignored
it intentionally because they didn't want to be called racists
because the people that are perpetrators were overwhelmingly from South Asia.
And so the cowards let it go on for years,
and those who spoke out of publicly were deemonized by

(01:03:48):
the British government and threatened with legal action for telling
the truth. It's sick.

Speaker 3 (01:03:53):
Imagine a place like the United States of America, or
people in positions of high authority, like the President of
the United States turnable, like the border is open, engaging
in trafficking of children throughout the country. Then the next
president is rounding all these children up, finding these what
you find I maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
Twenty three twenty he found twenty They found twenty three
thousand children that are missing that we're trafficked this year
alone of the what one hundred and ninety thousand that
the Biden regime lost control over two thirty thousand something
like that.

Speaker 3 (01:04:20):
Yeah, it's sick. It's sick, and we we as a
people need to stop tolerating this nonsense. Honest to God,
we as a people got to start standing there.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
I mean, when the president sniffs little girl's hair, I mean,
you know, we teller a lot. Yeah, and they hear
all those numbers, and I hear people.

Speaker 4 (01:04:33):
Then I harken back to people say, you know, in
case our government becomes tyrannical, And I'm like, it seems
to be tyrannical if they're allowing this.

Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
Yeah, we're saying we're turning into a socialist nation without
realizing we've been a socialist nation.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
And social security, the civilian, the conservation Corps, you know,
the Tennessee Valley Authority. I mean even argue that. Yeah, no,
you know we've had socialism forever. You know.

Speaker 3 (01:04:58):
Yes, true, it's gotten disgusting too, because, like we said,
they're an out. They don't handle it well. You know,
the concept of social security was so that you can
re tell you with dignity turned into may it may
not work too. It's actually not working.

Speaker 4 (01:05:13):
No, And people now nowadays, and I've seen a lot
of people that are about to retire, I think that
that's their pension plan.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
That's a pension plan. Brother.

Speaker 4 (01:05:21):
You know, if you've not been saving and you don't
have a pension plan, you know, and you just want
to do an odd job for thirty years, you've just
kind of screwed yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
If you've not saved. Yeah, exact, wegan, I all have
to pay for it. You know.

Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
It's sad is you see people that plan their lives
for retirement and you have deals like what Ron happened,
and all these bad investments are bad management, and there
said are looking at it or or was it yellow
freight went up and all these union workers are going, hey,
that was my retirement just went out the door. Uh yeah,
you can plan, yeah, even then you could be I understand.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
Yeah, but you've got to have responsibility in the planning.
You can't just you know. So, I mean companies that
have one K plans they dictate that the employees put
their money in the stock of the company. That's illegitimate.
It's okay to put your money, some of your money
into stock, but every portfolio should be diversified. If you're
overly dependent on one source of that wealth, you're going

(01:06:16):
to be disappointed. I mean, now, if you're Elon Musk
and that source of wealth is SpaceX or Tessela, you're
going to be okay because there's a multile almost trillion
dollar enterprises. But when you work for a company and
you put all your eggs in one basket, That's why
I'm so angry about Enron because Enron forced its employees
to buy its stock for their full K plan, and
that's government should not allow that. You should be allowed
to buy some You shouldn't be allowed to put the

(01:06:38):
proponents of your money there. You should diversify and have
some of this some of that, and that's how you
write out these things. But again the problem is that
we have not educated our society. People do not understand
the true role of sale security. It was supposed to
help you in a bind, and then it became the
concept of retirement. Of course, the King Franklin's Court of
Gestures that known as the Executive Brand sold this as

(01:07:01):
not a tax, and that's how they got approved because
you can't tax people for that. At the Supreme Court
they agreed it was a tax, but then when the
challenge came up again, they claimed it is in fact
a tax. The government has the power to tax, and
therefore we can tax social security even though it's not.
They claimed it was a retirement plan, which is not anyway.
It's just such a mess. There's no money in the fund.
Every penny paid out is coming from somebody's income. Today,

(01:07:22):
there's no nest Egg and the number of people in
the workforce. Contooners decline. It's it's a recipe for absolute disaster,
and that's that's what's going to be at some point.
You know, in the nineteen eighty six Reagan and in
the Congress double the rate of taxation for Social Security,
and we're still in a mess because they spent all
the money. They take the excess revenue that comes in

(01:07:42):
instead of putting it into an investment or a national
sovereign wealth fund, they put it in the general treasury
and they waste it and they bury us in debt.
So they spend all the surplus f soci Security, plus
they spend more, and they claim the debts barely there.
It's just they're just a bunch of frauds.

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
I mean, we just crossed over a thirty eight trillion
dollars debt. Let me talk about fraud. They can't they can't,
they can't stop the deficit spending. Now we're thirty eight
trillion dollars. Well, they got the whole government held up
as hostage. People may not be getting checks next week
because the Left once another one point two trillion dollars
on top of the thirty eight trillion dollars were in

(01:08:16):
debt for so they can cover the subsidies of Obamacare.

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
Okay, well, John Todd and I aren't getting paid, right,
that's true a couple of days. I understand paid.

Speaker 3 (01:08:27):
I think you might be prepared for it and be
able to handle it for a short period of time,
and and you'll enjoy the back pay because that will come.
I know you are. But what happened because they didn't
used to do this before. Veterans got their pay, military
got their pay, and so security JECK checks got cut
when we've had previous shutdowns, So why is it different
this time?

Speaker 4 (01:08:46):
There was no repercussions at that point. Now, all of
a sudden, there's greater stakes at hand.

Speaker 2 (01:08:51):
I think, well, and there's only ever been one lockdown
that went through an entire pay period for military one
month paper. I know some people can pay the month,
but what they don't realize is they just paid for
what happened six weeks ago. Right, Because you're paid in arrears,
so at the beginning of November, you get paid for October.
If you get mid month in November, that means you're
getting half the money you didn't get in October. You're

(01:09:12):
only getting half of it on the first and they
don't think about that. I guess something like the paid
twice a month. But the point is that it's never
gone beyond thirty four days. This is the only second time.
We're not there yet. We're twenty nine days. But the
rate we're going, we're gonna beyond thirty four. But I
think the Democrats will collapse in the end.

Speaker 3 (01:09:27):
Hope they're gonna have to. We don't have the money
to spend, so they're gonna have to make adjustments elsewhere.
This comes out of that. It's gotta be responsible some
way or another. If you don't have the revenue streams,
you can't spend more than your taking. And that's just
simple stuff. Second grader can figure that out, right.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
Are you than the fifth grader?

Speaker 4 (01:09:47):
I think Republicans are probably going to have to throw
some small win to the dams for them to get
them all to the table, or get enough to the table,
just to get it wrapped up, get the government back open,
you know, throw some win that way they can pretend
like they got something out of you know whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
The government's back up, but we can move forward.

Speaker 3 (01:10:02):
They've been what they've been trying to do is. I
think they've been trying to make some adjustments for what
you're talking about to make sure that people are getting
paid so they don't suffer from this. And even the
Dems held out on that and voted that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
Well, that was voted down too. But see, you know,
as a photokoff I said in this program, but the
Democrats have now voted down thirteen times a flat spending
bill during the Biden regime. In that four years they
put continued resolutions thirteen of them, they voted all of
them in, so the exact same thing that they gave
to Biden they refuse to get to Trump. It's pure politics,
it's utter nonsense, and it's going to backfire them. A

(01:10:35):
lot of Americans are much better informed than they used
to be, and they're taking heat right now. The largest
union representing state or federal employees has told them to capitulate,
to go sign a deal with the Republicans. It's only
going to mount as forty two million people go without
food stamps on Friday. Those of us retire from military
will not get our pay on Friday because you get

(01:10:57):
paid the last day of the month if the first
is on weekend holiday. So we're not gonnet paid active
to the military. The air traff controllers are already be
our boycott and I shuff work. They're given sick days,
and this is what I say to them. Fire every
one of them. Does that, every one of them don't
have a doctor's note? Is fire them because that's what
Reagan did and he was right and you'd be right
to do it too. These people have no right to

(01:11:18):
hold our nation hostage because their personal parochial interests. Right. Absolutely,
you know what we should be doing is holding the
Democrats responsible at this point, I mean, pure and simple, Well,
we shouldn't, but their propaganda machine is pretty effective, right.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
To say, that's up to the people. Man, they need
their Democrat leaders and told them doing that.

Speaker 4 (01:11:37):
But you know, you got elections in Virginia and New
York and just like what next week.

Speaker 2 (01:11:42):
Right at Pennsylvania everywhere on the second first Tuesday of the.

Speaker 4 (01:11:46):
Month next week for crime outline, and people are still
thinking about voting for Democrats. I mean, you got to
think about this. This is as a result of their
policies and their actions here.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
No, absolutely, that's that's that's but the Democrats think they're
they're not the public is not happy and wait and
wait until people go with out a paycheck and food
stamps on the first of all, that's not going to
be pretet And what they're doing is creating a logjam
because things aren't getting done well.

Speaker 3 (01:12:12):
The bad thing is here, guys, is they're they're required
by their own laws that they've written that they're supposed
to have a balance by April fifteenth of every year.
And what they did this year, like they do every year,
is they do a reconciliation and uh yeah right resolution. Yeah,

(01:12:35):
but they only they staged it. They didn't really do
a balanced budget. They didn't do a budget. They just
staged it up for throughout uaring. This is while we're
doing continuing, continuing resolutions, is because they don't do their
job in the first place. If they do their job
and they balance the budget every year like responsible people would,
then we wouldn't be in these situations as Congress is

(01:12:56):
failing us constantly time and time again.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
Yeah, I agree, and I can't argue with that. The
Commis lets us down over and over and over again. Yep. Hey,
can we go back to the Islamic fascists in chief?
Can we talk about that for a moment. Sure, I've
got the comments from Mommy, Mommy dearest talking about zoron
mom Donaldy. She said, he's a total deasy. He's very

(01:13:21):
much US Indian. He's not an American at all. He
was born you Ganda, raised between Indian America. He is
at home in many places. He thinks of himself as
you've gone and as an Indian. Well, then why does
he want to be mare of New York City? You're
not an American? Just saying, just.

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
Saying, it must be a good paying job.

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
Well it is. Also this is all part of the
tip of the spear for how they're trying to pervert
and turn this country. They've already given away to so
many people that shouldn't even be here. Yeah, so what
are you going to do?

Speaker 4 (01:13:55):
Absolutely, and if people talk about, you know, the Constitution
and you know matters, it only matters that the people
you will like it matters to them, you know, Other
than that it's just a piece of paper. If they
don't respect it, it's it's nothing to you know.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
On hundred percent, I agree with a hundred percent. Did
you see that Trump eliminated the entire Biden appointed design Commission? Yeah,
what's the design commission, you might be asking.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
No clue what it was the Arts and Something? Right,
our arts is a commission. It was the Arts and
Something Commission and.

Speaker 4 (01:14:27):
The Arts Humanities Commission of Fine Arts.

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
That's it. Yeah anyway, Yeah, six members the board would
notify it by an email. Well that's a tough way
to find out. You don't have a job anymore. Email.

Speaker 3 (01:14:39):
That's why you get business gets done done. These days,
we're cold hearted email it is. This isn't like chairs.
Remember Norman Cheers when he would have beers and cry
with them about getting fired. He was the guy who
got the fire everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
But this, this is uh, this is not cool. This
is not cool anyway. Yeah. So what I mean by
not being cool is how the media is carrying the
water for this. I have no problem with Trump firing
these guys from the commission. Yeah, I didn't even know
we had this commission, to be quite honest.

Speaker 4 (01:15:08):
There's a lot of commissions out there that you don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
I know, there's a lot of stuff out there. There's
the left handed you know, step sister commission.

Speaker 5 (01:15:14):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:15:14):
Yeah, it's there's a lot of government that's red.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
Handed, left step sister, right handed, red haired, left handed stepsister.
I had a link last Trump administration.

Speaker 4 (01:15:26):
It had all the different jobs that the president has
a point appoints someone too, And if it was a
pretty book, it probably be that thick.

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
I mean, yeah, there's I think I think for the
immediate Senate confirmation appointment is like thirty seven hundred and
thirty nine hundred or something forty three. A lot of
them were just voted on, you know, just right right.
But but those but I mean, but there's also a
lot to the points that don't require congressional There are
they are considered officers that I say, different schedules and stuff.
Yeah right, yeah, yeah, those people are officers. And I
say so yeah, it's a lot. I mean because when

(01:15:55):
I think maybe one of you guys finally got me
the link to when they're trying to find people with trumpdministration,
and I knew about it, but I had never been
inside the database, I'm like, okay, what about this? What
about this? There's so many jobs in there?

Speaker 3 (01:16:04):
Oh, well you file for when you file for a position. Yeah, yeah,
through the G A O L G S A.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
What it was. But I mean I looked into it
when Trump came in.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
I think I sent that to you so you can
apply the ambassador to I.

Speaker 2 (01:16:19):
Did, and in fact I did, along with what else
did I put in there? There was in the State
Department under Secretary for African Affairs and then Under Assistant
Secrety Aft Affairs and Under Secretary for African Affairs. In
this in the Department Offense, I put about six jobs
in there, and of course I haven't heard from them.
The problem is that I'm too honest and too vocal.
They don't want me. Not a yes, but to get

(01:16:40):
the upper echelon stuff, you have to be in that orbit, you.

Speaker 4 (01:16:43):
Know, or yeah, you've got to given millions of dollars,
which that absolutely or be be in that orbit of
everybody who's in his camp.

Speaker 2 (01:16:50):
I mean to get, not just that.

Speaker 3 (01:16:53):
It's also being part of the party and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
Of elections.

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
But that's not deep entrenched into the part already right now.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
It's nothing to do with the party. It's nonpartisan totally so,
and it's not something I necessarily want to do. But
someone put my name on the ballot so I'll probably win.
So you're right, you're up again this time, Yes, Tuesday,
my name is on the ballot, you know, And it's
not it's not arrogance of me saying I'll probably win.
Sixty percent of the voters in this in this congressional

(01:17:23):
district for the state are Republican. In my precinct, probably
seventy five to eighty percent of the voters a Republican.
So you're running for public candidate. I've got the nomination.
I mean, people are going to check my name. Well,
see how it goes. I mean, if I all I
need is one vote if there's no other candidate. But
I mean, not that I want it, but let's talk
next week. I went. But yeah, next week I'll probably

(01:17:43):
be a little bit tired because maybe not I do
the election until by the time it turn results in
I get home about eleven thirty every election night if
things go well, right, and that's after working since six am,
So it's a long day.

Speaker 3 (01:17:58):
Sean wants to know why it is congressional members get
their pay checks while people aren't even positions of making
legislations or in control of the situation do not get paid.
That would probably be because that'd probably be because they're
in such a position every year when they want to
give themselves a pay raise. They could just drop a
gavel and say we all get fifteen percent yay.

Speaker 2 (01:18:19):
But yeah, it is a different branch of government.

Speaker 3 (01:18:22):
They favor themselves quite well, right, Oh, absolutely, yeah, that's
the only reason I can.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
Congress controls the purse spring. So you know they're going
to put anything in there, make sure they.

Speaker 3 (01:18:31):
They take care of themselves quite well. They don't care
about the rest of us, trust me. I mean Tuskegee
Experiment and kay Ultra, and these are just conspiracies, right,
real stuff giving people cephalis, LSD all this stuff, you know, yeah, absolutely, yeah,
involuntarily testing on people during MK Ultra. Can you imagine

(01:18:52):
being a citizen of the United States American be abducted
and do into some experiment that you didn't even sign
up for.

Speaker 2 (01:18:57):
How many people died as a result, you know, or.

Speaker 3 (01:18:59):
Committed or just been to languished the rest of their
lives And yeah, it's crazy, man. But you don't even
know what there's spraining on you for testing. I've heard
I've heard stories about you know, they might drop stuff
in certain areas or counties or whatever to see the
results of something. You know, it's it's nuts, man.

Speaker 2 (01:19:16):
Quit being so sensitive. In nineteen and thirties and forties
and fifties, kids went to public swimming pools and they
got sprayed down with DDT. What are you being such
a coward for?

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
Yeah, and only died of cancer thirty years later.

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
Right, did you ever see any of those videos from
like that time they show these kids gleefully running through
the uh through the DDT spray that it was crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:19:36):
Yeah, I hate to tell you. In the seventies, I
was probably one of those kids that were spraying from
mosquitos and we thought it was cool, Like, hey man,
big fog machine. Yeah, I'll probably have lung cancer here
in a couple of years.

Speaker 2 (01:19:46):
Well, Todd, now we understand a lot more. Right, as
he was paint chips, he was eating paint chips.

Speaker 3 (01:19:54):
There was nothing like sitting outside next to the house
picking off.

Speaker 2 (01:19:59):
Guy. Hey guys, an interestval disclosure. John grew up in poverty.
They couldn't afford potato ships, so they pay chips.

Speaker 3 (01:20:07):
Poverty, Thank you, thanks to the United States government. Yeah,
we were pretty poor for a long time.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
Oh my goodness, that pretty scary stuff there. Hey, folks,
once again you're listening to the common sense Conservatives right
here on WSMN ninety five point three on the FM
dial thirteen or fifteen ninety. Excuse me, it's another radio
station I worked at fifteen ninety. On your AM dial,
it's like WNPO Middleport, Parmery, Ohio. That's for the thirteen ninety,
but fifteen ninety. Thanks for tuning in to joining us.

(01:20:35):
Every Wednesday evening, we comment to you live from our
studio in National, New Hampshire, remotely located in East Tennessee,
somewhere in the hills where Daniel Boden once upon a
time road is Todd McKinley, and then John Grosvenor up
there in the studio in National Hampshire. I'm Chris White
in Central Pennsylvania. Yeah, it's it's every Wednesday, folks, seven

(01:20:56):
and nine pm. And we do have a global audience.
A lot of people tune in on our social media
AC Council watching them around the world, particularly folks from
my own is from South Africa who like to jump
in here. And I think it's kind of interesting you
have a global audience, guys, especially South Africans. They pop
in and they ask interesting questions. Every now and then
it comes in our chat about things you know that
are maybe a little aliens in them because their system

(01:21:17):
of governance is different, and you know, given the perilous
state of civics education in our society, probably not a
bad idea. We talk about those things and answer their questions.
What do you think, Dodd?

Speaker 3 (01:21:30):
Oh, I thought you were muted form thinking your mouth
was moving and nothing was coming out.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
Now Todd's multitasking, but it's buffer's full.

Speaker 3 (01:21:36):
No, no, no, it was muted.

Speaker 4 (01:21:37):
I was bringing something up real quick. I got to
send to somebody. Sorry, but yeah, you're absolutely agree with
you hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (01:21:42):
Yeah. You know. In the last hour BEFO, we went
to the break, I said, we're going to talk about
those comedians. I don't know if people are I mean, look,
this is These aren't comedians you listen to in a
good company. Number one, of course, is Leonard and Joni
originally from New York, now living in Austin, Texas. She
is not politically correct. Have you ever heard her?

Speaker 3 (01:21:58):
John O, Man, I can't think I have.

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
So she's up on stage and she invites guys up.
It's like, you know, an improvut club. She says, come
on up, guys. So there's like fearful guys, I'm obviously
the comedian's gonna ask me questions. And so right out
of the gate, she looks the guy next to her
and says, so, what do you do for a living?
And he said, what do you say?

Speaker 1 (01:22:18):
Was?

Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
I can't remember what he was, but she just says, oh,
that that's just so gay. I mean, you can't say
that today, you know, And it's just it was so
fun So she's hilarious. And then you also got Dessanto.
That guy's pretty funny too. He uh, he is an
Italian who lives in the UK but now lives in America,
and he's just exquiriating the British government for some of
the stupid stuff they got going on. Pretty crazy stuff anyway.
But you know, it's interesting because for a long time,

(01:22:41):
you know, the only comedian that was really saying it
like it is was Dave Chappelle, you know, and he
was the only one who was bulletproof from the political left.
They couldn't hurt him, but all the other comics went silent,
and on comedy died, I mean, you turn on, you turn.
I don't watch it, but I see the clips of
Kimmel and these other idiots of Late Night. They're not
even remotely funny because they're afraid to hurt people's feelings.
Hurting feelings.

Speaker 3 (01:23:01):
I remember I was looking I was looking at an
analyzing one day. I'm thinking, Wow, the only place you
can get with being really edgy and saying colorful things
is comedy. People could say some pretty dicey things on
on stage at a comedy club, and even those that
have a certain race that they might be saying it,
but we'd be laughing about it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:23:19):
Oh that's true, that's true. It's so fun. But nowadays, man,
they say one thing wrong and it's like boo, you know,
we're done with you and we're going to persecute you
for the rest of your life. And now there's the joke.
Get over it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:30):
But these guys are showing that you can still do
edgy comedy and it's hilarious and people people get it,
you know, I mean, I mean, it's not like the
kind of foul stuff, even if it isn't said like
Andrew Dice, Clay, Jack and Jill went up the hill
and Jill came back with a buck in a quarter
two fifty. Yeah, and the quarter. Jill came back with,

(01:23:52):
that's right there. Yeah, that's uh, you know, I mean
that's yeah, there you go, that's perfect. Actually, you got
a get better memory than I do on that one.
But I mean, well, comedy just died. It died before COVID.
It was it was diet, it was boring.

Speaker 5 (01:24:07):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
These guys Leonarda Joni, she's amazing, She's hilarious and she
just she just calls it like it is so funny.
And then Desanta the guy, he's just really funny too,
and he just he beat up on the UK. Uh.
He was telling jokes and he's talking about the the
Irish comedy writer that got arrested because he did it.

(01:24:27):
Uh an Anti transing on X when he flew back
from the States, and and he talked about you know,
the stuff he says, and his stuff is a little
more edgy than what Lenna said anyway, but uh, you
know it's uh, it's good to see that people can
laugh again. You don't see a lot of this, you know,
Comedy I said, just died. Nobody's been funny for a
long time. But I remember growing up, we had all
these funny comedians, you know, Richard Pryor was hilarious. Fox

(01:24:50):
was Fred Fox was funny. You had you had, you had,
uh garp what's his name?

Speaker 3 (01:24:56):
Robin Williams.

Speaker 2 (01:24:57):
Robin Williams, you know who really must have been going.

Speaker 3 (01:25:00):
Oh that guy was a guy. That guy had had
his act together.

Speaker 2 (01:25:03):
He was he was, he was the king of improv.

Speaker 5 (01:25:05):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:25:05):
That guy was amazing. He just said he just riffed
from one thing to the other. Uh. A guy that
didn't have the same kind of energy but much slower delivery,
but really a funny guy who was also a master
of improv. Is Colin Mockery. That guy's fantastic. Have you
ever seen him? That guy's really don't I have?

Speaker 3 (01:25:20):
But yeah, of course classic George carl and uh yeah,
yeah of course local here in New England was just
as much cynical and and uh sarcastic guy was his name?
There became an actor and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:25:33):
Dennis Leary, Larry, Oh, yeah, hilario classic yeah. Yeah, people
forget he was a comedian. Yeah right, he was good. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:25:41):
He was big on MTV there for the longest time.
He would do those little commercials between videos and stuff
like that. Right, they he had his own show too right. Anyway,
he had a number of a number of sitcoms later on.

Speaker 2 (01:25:53):
So he did.

Speaker 3 (01:25:54):
He did a lot of good stuff. He was interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
Rescuing Me was good. Yeah. I liked the first couple
of seasons, but it kind of I don't know, I
lost it for me after that. But I thought it
was good in the beginning. But you know, we've had
good comics, but I mean it's been clean comedy, you know,
like Bill Engvall and Jeff Foxworthy, you know, Larry the
Cable Guy, a little bit more edgy and then Bill
Bill White. Yeah, Ron White right off, the.

Speaker 3 (01:26:19):
Mister got a whiskey in my hand every time a
month stayed and.

Speaker 2 (01:26:22):
The other on the other hand. Yeah, yeah, he told
good stories. Tater salad, Yeah, tater salad. You you got me,
you got you got the tater salad we got Yeah,
they got tater tot.

Speaker 3 (01:26:40):
Oh my god. Yeah. Mel Brooks movies, Yeah, it was
his name there.

Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
Jane Wilder, yeah, classic, Yeah, Jean water Blazing. He did
a lot of stuff with with Richard. Yeah. Yeah, a
lot of a lot of great movies those two together.
But I mean, we we had some good but it
wasn't the edgy stuff, the edgy stuff you kind of
need every now and then, you know, it's it pushes
the boundaries of you know, what's what's acceptable, but it's

(01:27:07):
still funny. And that's kind of what I'm seeing a
rebirth of now. And it's really I think, encourage you
because comedians are so important, especially if they're really good.
You know, they're so important to a society.

Speaker 3 (01:27:17):
So I think about it. What you're saying, Oh, go ahead,
you go say something.

Speaker 2 (01:27:21):
No, I have a friend. It's just surprise, surprise, I
have a friend. I have a friend who's one of
the most famous comics in South Africa's name is Barry
Hilton and he's in fact, I was chatting with him
today because I was checking in his health. He had
some health issues a few months back, and he thought
I was in South Africa. It's like, Chris, you got
to come over for a bride. It's a barbecue. You
gotta come over for a bride. How long much all
you in country? I'm like, very, I'm sorry, man, I

(01:27:42):
was just checking in the and you make sure you're okay.
I'm I'm been Pennsylvania. It's gonna be a long trip
to come for that. Barbecue tonight. But that was really nice.
But but his is very clean humor too. But it's
very different and it's it's suited to a you know,
a Southern Africa audience because he grew up in Verdisius, Hibabwe.
But Barry Hilton is very funny guy. He has this
thing about, you know, how everybody's connected, so he calls
everybody his cousin. So I ended my things and I said,

(01:28:04):
you know that good to hear fromim and my cousin. Today.
He's Barry Hilt. He's well known. He's played He's played
in Vegas and he's huge there. He's played in London
and of course in Southern Africa. Really funny guy, Barry Hilton.
He just some people just you know, And it's funny
because some comedians they obviously have something that's not quite
I don't want to say not right, but I think,

(01:28:25):
you know what I mean, something's a little bit off
that's different about them. Robin Williams obviously had a side
to him that really affected what it was. But Barry's
the same way. Barry's got like O c D. He
can't focus for like a second, so he's all over
the place and He's constantly doing stuff and that's all
part of his act, and this is its fascinating. I've
interviewed him twice. I've interviewed him online, I've interviewed him
in person in South after my last trip, and I've

(01:28:46):
invited to his son's soccer game, which is pretty cool,
even though I can't find that soccer is boring to me,
but it was nice to go to that. But yeah,
but no comedians are. They're a different breed. And a
friend of mine who's an American who lives in South
Africa opens for Barry occasionally. What was that, Yeah, Joe Emilio,

(01:29:07):
he's an American comedian in South Africa. But I said
a little bone to pick with Joe. Last time I
was there, he opened for Barry and he sort of
had some of these, you know, pickout America jokes because
the South africaart has laughed hard. I think it was
just kind of backup in cases routine wasn't going directly.
Wanted to go, but I gave him a hard time,
but it was good stuff. You know, comedy is important.
I think people sell short how important comedy is and

(01:29:27):
how much you miss it when it's not there.

Speaker 3 (01:29:28):
So yeah, that's what I was going to say earlier,
is uh, people who went through hard times, the depression,
World Wars, creer of Vietnam, they always found relief in comedy.
They made fun of their own circumstances and stuff. So
they were there were good time people back in the day.

Speaker 2 (01:29:42):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:29:42):
I like to think of my wife's parents, saw people
my father's age and stuff like that. They they went
through difficult times and they made light of it and
they dealt with it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:51):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
It was a coping mechanism for them, the same way
like say the Blues was to people that dealt with
difficult times, or country music tearing my beer stuff, and
so yeah, it was got like a coping mechanism. But
people also found each other in it. You know, it
was a gathering point. You laughed about it. You went
to work the next day and say, did you catch
that act that you shared the end of, like you
do a football game or something.

Speaker 2 (01:30:12):
Well, I mean, it takes us back to time if
we go back to like the nineteen nineties, eighties, cheers
in the eighties, Seinfeld, the nineties, and friends and people
go gather around the watercool at work, and that's what
you talk about. You know. You know, even if you
didn't watch the show, you knew everything happened because somebody
was telling a story around the water cooling, you got
to throst. Most just kind of sunk in. But you know,
with people working remotely with you know, I mean, I
can't work next to this person because they're straight and

(01:30:34):
they're trends. I can't work, you know, with all that
nonsense going on. It seemed to have lost that in
a lot of our in our workplace, and it's a shame.
But you know, comedy really is such a key component
of our I think our good mental health. I really
think that's true. It's you know, it can just be
so funny, you know, and it can even be you know.

(01:30:54):
I mean I look back to the Jeffersons as Sherman Helmsley,
My goodness, there's stuff he said was racist.

Speaker 3 (01:31:00):
But he was the counterpart to Archie Bunker. Yeah right,
he was the.

Speaker 2 (01:31:03):
Flip side of the coin. It was just as big
a big and as Archie was. It was so hilarious.
Like remember his his son in law, his daughter in
law is the product of a mixed marriage. And yeah,
the neighbors always calling his daughter in law like a
zebra man like, well, you can't say that stuff? What's
up with you? Oh my goodness. You know it's like,
you know, you can't use certain phrase. You can't like listen,

(01:31:27):
listen here boy, you can't say that unless you do
fall Gordon Leghorn. I'll say, I'll say, I'll say a ball.
I said, listen to here ball, then you can do
it fall gornon Legorn. But comedy is really I mean,
you know, it's maybe that's we need more of more comedy.
And Trump is like a master comedian too. The guy
is hilarious. I love how he is just trolling on
this whole up running for president three times, well actually

(01:31:47):
four times.

Speaker 3 (01:31:48):
But you know he knows how to play off that stuff.
He really does.

Speaker 2 (01:31:51):
He does it reminds so it reminds me of and
I'll mess this up, but I'll do my best. Of
the debate between Mondale and Reagan, in which Y talking
about Reagan's age and Reagan says something like, I won't
hold age against a right No, I I if if
my opponent won't hold my age against me, I won't
hold his youth and immaturity against yeah, experience youth and

(01:32:14):
an experience that was like that won him the election.
That one statement. I mean, there's no doubt that that
was That election.

Speaker 3 (01:32:21):
Was a landslide. The only story got was Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (01:32:24):
Yeah, some Minnesota. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:32:26):
If you remember mindew at that moment, he put his
head down and just shook his head because he's it's over.

Speaker 2 (01:32:30):
At that, it's over. Yeah. In fact, he said that later,
I knew the race was over, but he just walked
right into Because you start talking about Reagan's age, because
that's what all Reagan's too. Oh, and he can't do this.
He's it's like, you won't if you that's pretty good.
If you won't hold my age against me, I won't
hold his youth and experience against him. That was classic, man.
That that's how you disarm people. Yeah, I mean just
that's that's how you just you you you you dissipate,

(01:32:53):
you know, it's it's anyway, that's uh, I missed that.
I do it. I've been watching these these these comedians
like and then that just I mean, I I've been
his stitches. I've almost had to go to the bathroom
a couple of times. It's just so funny.

Speaker 3 (01:33:04):
Let's refer to his diffusion. He diffused the circumstances. He
diffused it by turning it around on him and saying, well,
you know what, there's a counter to this.

Speaker 2 (01:33:13):
Well, Y Reagan was probably the best I ever saw
that from a public figure. He just could. He disarmed people.
He just turned that bad situation around in a heartbeat.
Most of his time, until Untilie Alzheimer started affecting.

Speaker 3 (01:33:23):
He was quick witted. He really was. Like that time
that bloom popped, and I don't think it was stage
like some people might accuse of being stage. Now they
have set up to drop out of the ceiling at
the beach and one of them popped unexpectedly, and he
saw him stop and he goes, you missed.

Speaker 2 (01:33:40):
That was great. No, But I mean, you know, even
if it's not comedy, the reaction of leaders in the
moment really matters. When Donald Trump was shot in the
head and he stood up and raised that business fight fight,
I mean, that is an iconomy. If it wasn't for
leftist media, we would have bronze statues that already we
would have, We would have figurines that would be it

(01:34:02):
would be such an iconic part of our culture. But
because the left controls Hollywood, the left controls the media
and the newsrooms. We're not going to see that, which
is a shame. Whether you like Trump or not, you
should be proud of the courage the man had to
stand up, not even knowing if the shooter had been
had been neutralized. He gets back up and fight, fight, fight,
making himself a target again. Driving the Secret Service certain

(01:34:25):
days just backcrap crazy. They weren't happy. You're like, you
get on the ground, certain and then of course, you
know the the the tub tubby Warris is there that
can't pass the PT test right secret Service agents? You know,
they couldn't even couldn't even couldn't even be bothered to
lift it, lift their arms up. You know.

Speaker 3 (01:34:42):
It was it was sad they couldn't cover them. There
was there. They're like leaning out of it. Something couldn't
cover them.

Speaker 4 (01:34:47):
You had the one that had a little pistol out,
and I'm like, your little your little pistol is not
going to do much in this situation.

Speaker 3 (01:34:52):
The one that could reholster it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
Yeah, yeah, but it's something Yeah, she can't missing the holster.
I mean, oh my god.

Speaker 4 (01:34:58):
At this point, you it's best to just get your
body on the man, not worry about your pistol at
this point, there's.

Speaker 2 (01:35:04):
Other officers that your job. So the mission, that's the
mission the president.

Speaker 4 (01:35:09):
Yes, Yeah, as a personal security detachment whatever secret service,
your job is to get your principal the heck out
of there, not to sit there and return fire.

Speaker 3 (01:35:17):
Well, you know, I think he knew he was pretty
much diffused because you heard him say, let me get
my shoes well down.

Speaker 2 (01:35:24):
Especial as in charge was on the radio.

Speaker 4 (01:35:26):
He could hear that that that target was down utilized
because he wasn't gonna let him up until he knew
he was.

Speaker 2 (01:35:34):
Behind the podium, and the podium.

Speaker 4 (01:35:36):
Has there's armor that that that that's I shouldn't go
into that, but that obviously you know there's a armor
right around him. Yeah, so if something happens, he can
just drop down and there's armor right there.

Speaker 2 (01:35:47):
So let me ask you this question back to the comedians,
because we we kind of straight from that, not to
get you far away, but one of the one of
the viewers watching the program, not on the radio but
watching it on the internet mentioned Andy Kaufman. Let me
ask you guys this, what's your opinion? Andy Kaufman. I mean,
he died very young as a comedian. Any thoughts on
that from taxi of course, right.

Speaker 3 (01:36:08):
Man on the Moon, they did the whole. Yeah, I
didn't have opinion on one way or the other. I
just remember from taxi, and I didn't know him any
other ways, So I.

Speaker 4 (01:36:15):
Didn't know he was before my time. But I knew
him through reruns. And of course I think the.

Speaker 2 (01:36:20):
Stick got a little long, if you will. He stayed
with the act a bit much. Yeah. Look, I mean
he was considered the comic genius and when he when
he when he offed you know, mini Mouse did the
Mini Mouse thing. Yeah, but people thought, they really thought
was I remember, he was like a comedy genius, they said.
And I watched him on taxi and I saw him
also in a couple of other things. But I mean
it's always like you know, I mean, it's it's like

(01:36:42):
it got I mean, I'm not trying to diss any
Kaufin and you know his combat, but I mean I
just I didn't get it. I didn't get the connection there. Yeah,
some of these people that they like, you know, Lily
Tomlin was not funny, No, not funny at all. He
just runner them out.

Speaker 4 (01:36:55):
Yeah, and I hate the right and everybody on the right.
NA what she had maybe one moment, you know, that
was it. Andy Koppan had one moment you.

Speaker 2 (01:37:04):
Know, well, I mean, you know, someone that was in
time change, someone that was very popular and considered very funny,
become a slapstick comedy. But I never found I mean,
she's a nice lady and she's talented, but I never
thought she's Ruth Buzzy. I never thought she was entertaining
m Yeah, just was that before Todd's time?

Speaker 3 (01:37:21):
John, Yeah, I'm trying to think Ruth Ruth Buzzy.

Speaker 2 (01:37:24):
She's always with the women that were the front stuff
and had like the hair net of her head and
she to beat guys up.

Speaker 4 (01:37:30):
Yeah, okay, yeah, Well that's just that's just stick that
you know, maybe works in one bit, but it doesn't
work on everything, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:37:38):
But you know, the one the thing that surprised me
is that some people that weren't comedians could really deliver
comedic lines. Now you see that play out if you
watch Dean Martin roast are really good. A good actor
can if they have good timing, they can be comedic
for sure. Good actor like Tom Cruise is not a comedian,
but he could be funny as heck, you know, because

(01:37:59):
he has timing.

Speaker 3 (01:38:01):
Yeah, so yeah, you're talking about people. You have diverse
fight comedians and stuff that can change it up, and
these people just basically like Popcat both way. He got
kind of typecasted in that one Garrit and he got
stuck there. He never really changed it.

Speaker 2 (01:38:14):
It's funny.

Speaker 4 (01:38:15):
After all that time, he went into producing, doing a
few other things, and he's come out in the recent
years doing stand up again. He's like, yeah, the first
time I came out doing stand up again a couple
of years ago, everybody thought I was just gonna come
out and start going.

Speaker 2 (01:38:27):
He's like, I speak normal, just so you know normal. Well,
I mean some of these people are multi talented. I mean,
you know, whether you liked him or that, multi town
like Ellen de Jenners, he's very talented comedian and she's
she's a talk show host done very well and you
see that. But not all of them have those skills.
But you know, it's nice when they have it. But
I mean, again back to comedy, I mean, we need

(01:38:49):
lighthearted moments and there's something wrong with some of the
edgy comedy, you know, make fun of ourselves to a time.
Don't take us absolutely. I think I think Trump does
it all the time. I do the same thing. You know.
That's I was actually called a narcissist by one of
my viewers I show. I'm like, did you look behind
me on the wall? Is there anything there? You don't
even see my name up there anywhere? Actually you do

(01:39:09):
if you look at my YouTube plaqu But I mean,
it's so small you can't see it on screen, and
it's not I told you, you know, I was gonna
I was gonna blow that thing apart with the twelve
gage when I finally got it, because it's so angry YouTube.

Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
But then I realized black, I never even heard of it.

Speaker 2 (01:39:22):
Oh yeah, YouTube placks. Well, get one hundred thousand describers,
you get a silver plaque. Uh and if you get
to a million, you get a gold plaque. So, by
the way, if you have one of these, you are
one of the top one percent on the planet in YouTube.
So anyone with one of these plaques falls in the
top one percent of content creators. So you get in
front of them. They're cheap, though this used to be
three times the size that was heavier. This is a

(01:39:44):
cheap aluminum. You know, it's like, you know, not even
aircraft grade illuminum.

Speaker 3 (01:39:49):
It's for recognition, it's not for yeah all yeah, but
I was gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:39:53):
I was so angry YouTube. I told people, I said,
if I ever get it, I'm just gonna go out
in the woods with a twelve gage and blow it apart,
and I'm gonna video film and then place on YouTube.

Speaker 3 (01:40:01):
And then you'd probably got your gold plaque if you've
done it.

Speaker 5 (01:40:05):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:40:05):
The problem is YouTube, you use firearms. Now, they sent
you all the time care I realized, yeah, they go
back and forth, and then I forgot that, you know,
I thought about and I said, you know what, that's
not for me. That's for the one hundred thousand plus
people subscribed to my channel. That's the recognition for them
that they all join here, and so you keep them
exactly So, I mean, it's so the only I love

(01:40:27):
me thing behind me is that Sonny and I love
me thing. It's a reflection my audience. I mean, yeah,
the Army veteran license plate you see on the bookshelf,
what there's there's a couple of million other Army veterans,
not like it's unique, including Todd.

Speaker 4 (01:40:41):
I do like the rugby balls you got up there, footballs.

Speaker 2 (01:40:46):
They're rugby balls, that's what you call. But yeah, there's
a couple of limited editions. One of them was one
of only five hundred ever produced, and they both commemorate
Rugby World Cup. The The both of those up there
there are from twenty nineteen, the Rugby World Cup in
front in Japan. I also have one for twenty twenty three.
That's over here. It's not up on the shelf right now,

(01:41:08):
but this replicates. It's for South Africa Springboks on one side,
and then they have all the games that they played.
The pool stage is the quarterfinal, semifinals, final. Yeah, so
this is also these. I don't think this is a
limited edition, but this one's uh so, I've got it
from both of those anyway. That's pretty cool though, Yeah,
take it away. Well, what I do is with stuff
like that, I wait till they have a glut of them,

(01:41:28):
and wait months later, and then they try to get
rid of they sound for a song. That's why I
have so many, right, that's what you gotta do. I'm
a frugal shopper. Yeah, I got a lot.

Speaker 4 (01:41:39):
I got several Irish football jerseys I guess you want
to call it, and I got those on sales.

Speaker 2 (01:41:44):
Well I waited, I didn't get them right up front,
I waited. No, Well, I mean there's there's a new
Irish rugby jersey coming up because they're playing against New
Zealand this weekend on the first in Chicago. Ireland and
New Zealand should be huge past games and Soldier Field
has sold out or done quite well. So they've got
a new like warm up shirt. It's really cool pattern

(01:42:04):
on for Island and I like to get it, but
it's one hundred and twenty nine dollars and so I'm
not surewing do that.

Speaker 3 (01:42:09):
So when we were talking about comedians, James says, he
sorry to say, but he doesn't like or can't like
the Three Stooges. And so what were their names? Larry,
Curly and Moe Chimp and Joe Joe. Yeah, yeah, Curly Joe, Yeah,
that was it, Curly Joe yep, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:42:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:42:29):
I kind of like the Three Stooges. They were slapstick,
but they were back in their day. Yeah it was silliness.

Speaker 4 (01:42:37):
Yeah, I think you got to give it, give them
credit because they made everything look like it was so
real even today you watch it like, man, that looks real,
you know.

Speaker 3 (01:42:44):
Yeah really, I mean getting hit in the head and stuff,
and the way they did their stick. Yeah sure. But
you know, Three Stooges to me today is probably be
going back and watching Looney Tunes.

Speaker 2 (01:42:52):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:42:52):
My wife's throwing it on the TV to leave it
running for the dogs. And I can stand and watch
a little bit of the Looney Tunes. But it's gonna
get old really fast. Let's just you know, yell grew
it well hopefully, yeah, hopefully as a grown man in
his fifties. You'd hope so. But they're classics to me.
But and Three Stooges, it's, you know, the same thing.
You watch a little bit, you don't watch it all

(01:43:13):
day now, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:43:16):
You need a little break every now, and they little
escape from the nonsense. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:43:23):
Those guys led some lives too, back in the depression
and stuff. They used to go coffee, and they dressed
they dressed really nice. Offset, right, they had some lives.
And Larry he actually used to pull his air back
and stuff. It wasn't always sticking up like that.

Speaker 2 (01:43:38):
No, no, no, Larry, Yeah, yeah he just he just
put stuff in it pull it out. Yeah yeah, yeah.
So guess who was here in Pennsylvania. Who's that? Oh? Well,
he was here today. I have to say that I
met him in person at O'Hare a couple of years
ago as I came out. Uh no, no, pets was.
I just met him the most recent trip. Uh the

(01:43:59):
heck is my coin at I haven't looked for that recently.
I forgot to look for that, but I met I
met this guy a couple of years ago. He's a
famous celebrity and an athlete. I was. It's not Michael Jordan.
I was coming through a hare and right in the
middle of the airport where the junction is where you
go through and go down the steps, this guy comes
through and he's putting the stuff back on because he
went through security. And I said, Hey, how you doing, Mike?

(01:44:22):
How you doing?

Speaker 5 (01:44:23):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:44:24):
Mike Tyson my tita within Pennsylvania today he is lobbying
for legalization of marijuana. Oh so he comes to Pennsylvania
to do that. Well, there's an effort to legalize it here.
So boxing legend Mike Tyson is in Harrisburg today to
lobby for marijuana legalization, Hoping to break the gridlock on

(01:44:44):
the issue in the state legislature. The former world heavyweight
champion and current cannabis mogul met with state lawmakers in
the capitol to advocate for reform, saying he'll continue to
do so until it becomes legal red shirt and people
stop getting sick off cannabis that is unregulated of low quality. Well, Mike,
I gotta tell you, well, you know, he says. He
says that he's a personal and financial interest in this.

(01:45:05):
He said he credited marijuana to help me get clean
of hard drugs. Okay, yeah, he said. He also started
his own line in marijuana prouks under his brand Tyson
two point zero, including THHC like Guomi's shape, like Evander
Holafield's bit near that's messed up. Yeah anyway, so uh yeah, no,

(01:45:28):
they passed it up though after that. That's kind of
cool that they got. Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, I mean, look,
crazy things happened. What he Hayes punched a football player
in the throat. He was wearing straight bil hats before
straight bil hats were cool, exactly back in the Gator
Ball in nineteen seven. I was watching that game live
I'm like, what the heck. Yeah, And I think that's
why he got fired because he was on TV, right, Yeah, yeah,

(01:45:50):
he got fired for that. Yeah, yeah, because he was
on television.

Speaker 4 (01:45:52):
Had it not been on television, he probably would have
fired him from Ohio State.

Speaker 2 (01:45:55):
Yeah, but it's a bowl game, so but yeah, but yeah,
that's back in that day. That's that's what it tooks.
So you're absolutely right about that. But so so Mike
Tyson's and PA trying to legalize weed. That's the last
thing we needed, by the way, you know, I mean,
I know he's a checkered history. He's convicted of you things,
serve a prison time, but he was a really nice
guy to talk to. He's very polite. I mean, I
didn't spend a lot of time with him, but yeah,

(01:46:16):
I find uh.

Speaker 3 (01:46:17):
I've heard that about Mike Tyson that as he got
older in life he found a greater respect for life
and his youth he was pretty hostile and aggressive.

Speaker 2 (01:46:25):
Well, he grew up in less than I do circumstances,
and aggression is how he survived. People took advantage of
him like crazy. Also at the young age, promoters pushed him,
you know, to be violent in the Ring and so,
you know, I mean he's in some ways he lived
out of personality. The only thing I want to say
about Mike Tayston is that freaking you know Maori tattoo
he got on his face.

Speaker 3 (01:46:42):
You know, I have a feeling that was a pretty
strong marijuana night. Do you think can you imagine it
might have been more than marijuana or a lace?

Speaker 2 (01:46:51):
But yeah, can you imagine you go something like that
happens and you wake up in the morning You've got
their Roadrunner tattoo to one cheek, and why, like Cody
and the other you have to spend the rest of
your life walking around like a cartoon. Nope, yeah, exactly, Well,
I like the Hangover movies? What was a hangover to?

Speaker 4 (01:47:09):
They went, they went over there, he got the tattoo.
He's like, he's like, you know what you're gonna do tomorrow?
He's like, had this laser removed? He said, exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:47:18):
Well, I was kind of wondering maybe that gave them
the inspiration what to make the movie? Was his tattoo.

Speaker 2 (01:47:24):
I don't know if that's true, but uh yeah, so
was so Mike Tyson was in Pennsylvania today. I don't
think it was widely known. Interesting to see. You know
who else was in Pennsylvania today? Oh yeah, that's right,
you guys. Oh oh, there's no moss growing under this pair.
I can't get it. My goodness. I set that up
and they just stay knocked it out of the park. Yes,

(01:47:45):
that's right. I was also in Pennsylvania today. Uh beg
you robbed me in my laugh. I thought I was
gonna get a glas or two out of that one. Now,
I thought you actually had. Somebody really was, yeah, you guys,
you guys hit it right off. I was like, oh man,
all right, anyways, alright, alright.

Speaker 3 (01:48:02):
Alright, what's wrong? What's wrong with your clock? Somebody said
your clock is a testament to Chinese techno.

Speaker 2 (01:48:07):
It is, it's it's it's a lovely, beautiful blue green
did it looks like the lights the turnst or the
street light behind a street like but the turn ah
traffic light behind you? That green looks like that lovely
digital green light. But it doesn't keep time. And there's
it's not like a physical clockwreak and you adjust it
so it goes slower faster. It just doesn't keep time.

(01:48:28):
Over each month, I lose a minute. I haven't changed
in two months, so I'm two minutes behind, two minutes
behind people. People fixate on that. You would you were
surprise behind how many people? Well, the other see and
the other thing people the other thing people fixate on.
And that's why I have it back there, and also
for me, I don't have to be looking around for

(01:48:49):
the time. You know, it's right there. I can see it.
But the other thing is that that has the temperature.
And since much of my audience is international, it's in Celsius.
But all the celicies people always looking and go to
your dates wrong, your days wrong. That's it's not the date,
that's the room temperature. Yeah, the little scene in the
little thing the grave gives it away, right, No you
can't well yeah, I don't know if you see the
sea on there. But so it's nineteen. Then the dates

(01:49:10):
below it, and of course it says ten twenty nine,
but the nineteen usually when it's in summertime, it's twenty
two in here, because you know, I gotta try, but
it's winter time. The heat son on nineteen. It was
actually seventeen the other day celsis, which is about fifty
six degrees fifty eight degrees Yeah, that's how that temperature
was in my house. Well, look, we all got to
save and be refrugal. I'm still I'm going broke because

(01:49:30):
of Joe Biden. I still can't eat like I used
to eat because I can't afford it right, absolutely, at
least beans and rice for you.

the Franks about the be He's a little good trying
to figure it out.

his politics.

I mean, the Zoo later movie is not something that
appeals to me, but that was actually a funny movie.
But but something about Mary is just brilliant. Every level
was such a great ensemble too. You know, Yeah, I
love how they talked the whole movie about that big
honky beefcake. Beefcake. Here her ex boyfriend turns out to
be Brett favre.

Speaker 3 (01:50:30):
