Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, Tony Dwight off today. I am Leland Conway sitting
in for him. Thanks for letting me hang out. Pretty
proud of myself. Uh, winning, winning really. In the year's
last segment, we're hoping to get Representative Jason Nemus on
the program, but we will see if we can dial
him up before. But if he does, we do connect
(00:21):
with him, we will get him on here in just
this minute. But I want to go back to something
we started the show off with because it's kind of
like the Talk of America right now, and it's this
issue of President Trump signing an executive order that essentially
would make it illegal to burn a flag. Here's the
President speaking about this lastly, sir, this is.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
An executive order on flag burning that charges your attorney general.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Would you listen to this. This is a point flag
burning all over the country. They're burning flags all over
the world.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
They burn the American flag, and as you know, through
a very said court.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I guess it was a five to four decision. They
called it for a speech.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
But there's another reason, which is perhaps much more important.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
It's called death. Because what happens when you burn a
flag is the area goes crazy. If you have hundreds
of people, they go crazy. You could do other things.
You can burn this piece of paper, you can and
it's but when you burn the American flag, it incites riots.
So there you go. It's President Trump. Yesterday. Antonin Scalia,
(01:26):
the great conservative Supreme Court justice himself back in twenty
twenty twelve, had this to say about our king.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I would not allow people to go about burning the
American flag. However, we have a First Amendment which says
that the right of free speech shall not be abridged,
and it is addressed in particular to speech critical.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Of the government.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
I mean that was the main kind of speech that
tyrants would seek to suppress. Burning the flag is a
form of expression. Speech doesn't just mean written words or
oral words.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It could be semaphore and gus and I learned what
that means this morning.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Burning a flag is a symbol that expresses an idea.
I hate the government, the government is unjust. Whatever.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
If you're not sure, then in the end, does no
one knows the Constitution better than you do. Doesn't it
come down to your personal interpretation of the Constitution If
it isn't clear, which it clearly isn't You in the
end have to make an opinion, don't you.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Well, I don't forget.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
This person has to be convicted by a jury of
twelve people who unanimously have to find that he was
inciting to riot.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So, okay, a couple things. One I disagree with President
Trump on this. I think it should be legal to
burn a flag. I hate flag burners. I hate them
with all of my heart. I also think that though
fix to this is to make it legal to punch
them in the face, I think we should be That's
the one time you should be able to punch somebody
in a face is when they're burning a flag. There
(03:07):
should be consequences to your speech. So we talked about
that in the first hour. If you want to go
back and listen to the podcast, you can. And I
made my point very clear. I'm a free speech absolutist.
I don't care if people don't like the speech. I
don't care if I don't like the speech. I'm going
to stand up for your right to say it, no
matter how grotesque I think it is. Okay that being said,
(03:29):
the left is going nuts about this, and they're going
cee cee. We told you that Trump was an authoritarian CEC.
We told you. Well, here's their precious Joe Biden in
nineteen ninety five, proposing a constitutional amendment to make it
illegal to damage an American flag for any reason at all.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Our diversity naturally pushes us apart, not together. What holds
us together as a nation, President is not a common language,
although I think that is necessary.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It is the national symbol.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
The reason it is worth preserving is because it unifies
this diverse nation. The flag's unique place in our national
life means that we should preserve it against all manner
of destruction. A statute making an unlawful to burn, mutilate,
or trample upon any flag of the United States period.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
There you go. There's there's Joe Biden nineteen ninety five,
no matter, not not even make it illegal to burn
the flag, make it illegal to step on the flag.
I know, I just I love liberals. This is okay.
Let me give you an example of why I love liberals.
(04:50):
They're fun, they really are. Let me see if I
can pull this up. Where is it? Here we go? Okay,
so you guys know about the illegal immigrant who is
Miss thirteen gang member accused of being a human trafficker, right,
what's his name of Brago, kill Mar Abrago Garcia. So
this guy's been picked up, he's turned himself in and
(05:15):
now apparently I think they got him somehow he got
out and now I think he's going to like some
other country, I don't know, Uganda or someplace like that. Anyway,
the left was protesting his detention because this is an
MS thirteen gang member accused of human trafficking. And they
all a bunch of these people like this is exactly
(05:35):
who you think they are. They're all white liberals. They're
all wearing gardening hats, you know, the big wide brim
gardening hats, and they're all wearing pink vests. And they
did a protest, and they did a singing protest. This
is this is heck no, kill Mar. It's our neighbor.
(06:06):
You can't have him Trump what they're all wearing pink vests,
you can't have him. No, heck no. It's just like
the most estrogen fueled protest I have ever seen in
my life. The dude in the front, he's wearing like
(06:27):
a Paisley shirt and he's got his little fruit fru
beard and he's leading the song. Kill Mar is our neighbor.
The dude's an MS thirteen gangbanger, a human trafficker, allegedly.
This is this is why I love liberals, because they're idiots.
So anyway, they're all upset about this. And here's here's
(06:50):
the reason why I bring all of this up. I
have a point that I'm trying to make. I do
not agree with burning the American flag. I do not
agree with burning really any flag because I think it's
I think it's a particularly inhumane insult. Right. This is
why I think it should be illegal to punch somebody
in the face that burns the American flag. But I
(07:12):
have to make this point about the juxtaposition of hypocrisy
in political speak in America, because this is fascinating to me.
The moment we drop American flag from this and insert
LGBTQ flag, the left will support it. In fact, it's
(07:34):
not only that they've already got that. It is currently
illegal to damage an LB LGBTQ flag. Don't not technically,
it's not technically in the law that you can't burn one.
But trust me, you burn one, you're going to jail.
I mean, there where did that happen? Was it? Gus?
Was it in West Virginia that the guy did the Yeah, Huntsville,
(07:58):
he did the burnout on the LGBTQ cross crosswalk or
something like, they had the rainbow painted on there. Dudes
in jail. Dude goes to jail for that, gets charged
with a hate crime. Right, And that's not even a flag,
that's just a symbol. That's just a symbol. Now do
I think that people should be doing No. Number One,
I have friends that are gay, So I just there
(08:21):
are political elements of the LGBTQ movement that I get
very vehemently disagreement with, especially when it comes to grown
ass men wearing dresses in women's bathrooms and locker rooms,
like that's my line, No, you can't go in there. Sorry.
Other than that, I don't care how you live your life.
I'm not here to judge you by that. But there's
also a lot of really good people that that's their lifestyle, right,
(08:43):
And I'm not here to burn their flag because I
don't like them. Whatever. I don't dislike them, I disagree
with politics, I don't disagree with them entirely as a
group as human beings, right, So, as a normal, logical
minded human being, I can separate those too. So do
I like it when somebody burns an LGBTQ flag or
(09:04):
something like that. No, I don't think it's I don't
think that's a productive way of disagreeing with human beings.
But should you be able to, Absolutely, you should be
able to because it's free speech. It's absolutely. There's there's
no difference, no functional difference whatsoever between burning an lgbt
flag or burning an American flag when it comes to
the level of insult that is aimed at somebody. And
(09:28):
so if free speech is free, if we're allowed to
have free speech, we have to be allowed to have it,
and it doesn't matter how egregious. Would I call it
egregious to burn an LGBTQ flag, Absolutely, Would I call
it egregious to burn an American flag? Absolutely? But you
(09:48):
have to be free to do it. I just think
it should be legal to punch somebody in the face
for it. I think, I think to me, that's that's
that's the way you fix this problem. So all right,
we have we have a representative, Jason Nemus on the
line with us. Sir, how are you man, It's good
to talk to you again.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
My friend couldn't be any better. What kind of weather
is I mean, this is the best weather in the world, dude.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
When the humidity moves out, even if just for a
little while, that's when it's best time to be in Kentucky.
That spring and fall. Man, it's my favorite. I love it.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I agree, So I agree.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
While we're on the subject, I do want to get
your thoughts on this, you know, at the Kentucky level,
the President saying we should make it illegal to burn
American flags. Do you agree with that sentiment? What do
you think about that?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I don't agree with that. I think it's protected by
the First Amendment. I do think that it's it's it
could it could be used. It could incite people to response,
some kind of response, and so I know it's not
exactly you know, it's not like burning leaves or anything.
It does have a symbolic meaning and so it means more.
I understand that. But we do have the First Amendment
right that I think should be protected.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
What we should do though, Leland, you know, people on
our side, we need to focus on fostering more respect
for the flag, for example, in our high schools, for
you know, uh in JCPS I'm told by students that
when they have the pledge of allegiance, nobody stands up
except for just a few kids, and so you know
that that should be required to stand up. So there's
(11:19):
a lot of things we need to do to foster
respect for the flag. Yeah, I do think you should
be able to burn up, but I do think it
should be it's your constantional right to them. So well,
and now if you're do it in public, by the way,
you can't burn stuff in public, So that's the end.
That might be the way to answer it.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Where So like a citation for citation for setting a
fire in public.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, you can't set a fire in public. You can't
burn you know, you can't burn any flags or anything.
You can't burn your shirt in public. So if you
do it and look it's part of a protest, I
think the police should should stop that because we can't
allow arson or anything of that nature. So that may
be a way to stop it.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
But but not growing them in jail for a year
with no bail.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
That's right. Yeah, fundamentally it's a you know, it's ugly.
I don't like it. My grandfather would be it would
be very upset. If you heard me say it, but
I do believe it's it's.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
A constant right to be a dumbass. Excuse me, Yeah, no,
I get it. Let's talk a little bit about Kentucky stuff.
What's going on in the getting ready for what? January sixth,
I think the new legislature starts. What what do you
have on tap for next year? What is what is
your party going to do? And how might it change
the landscape here in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Well, we've done a lot. We've had the voters in
twenty sixteen gave the keys of the ship of state,
so to speak to Republicans, and we've done a great
deal on uh, you know, on economics front and on
and on social issues as well, on schools. So we've
done We've done a great deal. This next year is
a budget session, so that'll take the majority of the
of the time. There's is nuts and boats budgeting. We're
(12:46):
hoping to reduce taxes again. We went from six percent
to three point five percent on the state income tax.
We're going to try to reduce that a little bit
again if we can.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Is it let me pause you there is it? Is
the goal there to drive zero Yeah, okay, because man,
all the way back to Steve Basheer when he was governor,
I was in his office with like a plan that said, hey,
we gotta get to zero income taxes. He didn't agree,
but he at least met with me. So that's your
plan is to drive it down to zero.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It's not just my plan, it's the legislature's plan. So
we've enacted a law that says we're going to get
to zero, and so we're doing it. It's a conservative
approach to a conservative goal. And so what we're doing
is we're budgeting very conservatively and for every if we
can get two dollars of unbudget in revenue for every
dollar that's not budgeted, so then we can reduce it
(13:34):
by half of a percent. So what that means is
if you reduce it about half a percent, that takes
about seven hundred million dollars out of the coffers.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yes we can.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
If we can have one point four billion in revenues
that aren't budgeted, then we can reduce it that half
of a percent. So it's a conservative a go and
a good thing for that is two things. One, it
gets there overtime, So we're being methodical and we're not
starving the legitimate needs of government. But it also requires
us to be very disciplined.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So we talk.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
We always talk about when we're talking about buzzing, is
this a need or is this a one? Now we
can argue on whether something's a need or something's a one,
but the important point is we're asking those questions on
every on every buzzeting issue. So we're being very disciplined
with the taxpayer's dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
To really get this done though to zero are you
gonna have to have I hate to be partisan, but
are you gonna have to have a supportive Republican governor
to do it?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Uh? Well, we don't care about who the governor is
on with respect to this. You know, my favorite, my
third favorite day of the year's veto override Day. My
favorite days each or my second favorites Christmas. My third
favorite day is veto overright day because Leland, what's the
only thing better than voting for a good bill once
vote for twice. So we don't care about the governor's vetoes.
We override every one of them. By the way we vote.
(14:46):
We override all of Governor Bevan's metoes as well, so
it would be great to have a governor because he
could do who supported this, because he could be out
there pitching it to the people more. But we're gonna
do it whether the governor likes it or not. Now,
I will say this, here's the here's the beautiful thing.
When the governor, when we first passed the bill, the
governor vetoed, we overrode the veto. Then when we reduce
(15:07):
taxes the first time for the second time, the governor
then signed it and acted like he's the reason that
we're reducing taxes and running first nationwide, saying, look, I'm
the guy that's reducing taxes, so he's you know, that's
obviously is not true. But we're happy to have his
signature even though we don't have his his real support.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I'm sure the media helps him take credit for that too,
don't they.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Oh yeah, they're not gonna have to question him. And
the other thing, by the way, I want to say
is on coming up with this coming session. I hope
when we look back at the twenty twenty sixth session
and we look at and we label it the Housing Session.
Representative Susan Whitten is the head of our Housing Task
Force and thankfully she's right here in Louisville, obviously.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah. I love her, and not not not just because
she's she's Dwight Whitting the hosts of the shows. Yeah, yeah,
in spite of that. Yeah, I'll tell I'll tell Dwight
you said that.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
That's good, I'll tell that, right. But she's a serious
legislator getting it done. That's a massive issue we have
across Kentucky, especially in Louisville, and we have to get
it right. And when we hear about affordable housing, I
don't know what that means. It means if you have,
if you ask ten people, it means something different. To me.
What it means principally, it means I want to I
want housing, fervid. I got that principally for me. The mechanic,
(16:18):
the nurse, the guy in the gal who's going to
work every day busting their tail, and they are making
America work. They need to have an opportunity to purchase
something Leland. Our kids don't. Our kids are priced out
of the market right now, and we know the best
way to accumulate. Well, if you want to rent your
whole life, great, that's your choice. But we know the
best way to accumulate wealth and the way to get
our citizens of care a little bit more about their
area is to get them a little bit of ownership.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
And that's what we need to fight for.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy and most of its government interference
that's driving those prices up. And uh yeah, I look,
I live in Colorado. It's it's pricing houses here. The
housing prices are insane here. Yeah, we got a little
before it spiked. But yeah, well listen, Representative Nemus. It's
always good to talk talk to you. It's great to
hear your voice again. Thanks for constantly being a fighter
(17:03):
for freedom in Kentucky. And we appreciate your your measured
leadership anytime. All right, brother, talk soon, all right, when
we continue. I don't usually like to talk about what
some rando liberal says on Twitter, but sometimes they say
something so stupid and it lines up with issues that
are actually happening in America, and it becomes fun to
(17:25):
make fun of them for a little bit. Coming up
at the bottom of the hour, Leland Conway in for
Tony and Dwight News Radio eight forty wajas It's Antonia
Dwight Show. Leland Conway hanging out with you today. I'll
be back tomorrow thanks to the guys Tony and Dwight
for letting me sit in their seat. Niked just saying yeah,
(17:46):
love those guys. They'll be back coming up next. Rarely
do I ever want to just have a conversation about
something some rando said on Twitter. But sometimes people say
stuff so stupid and it coincides with stuff that's going
on in society at the same time that it's worth
actually talking about. That's coming up next. It has to
(18:07):
do with home invasions and idiots who think you should
just cooperate with criminals. Next, Leland Conway and for Tony
and Dwight on News Radio eight forty wahas Leland Conway
sitting in for Tony and Dwight the legendary here on
news Radio eight forty whas. You can follow along on
Twitter slash x at Leland Show. Just search for Gavin
(18:31):
Newsom's hair. We're also on the insta same Gavin Newsom's
hair at Gavin Newsom's Hair. That's what you're looking for,
so come join the conversation. We have fun. I post
pictures of my wife's cat that works for the NSA
and it's trying to kill me, and I'm just posting
them in case there is some kind of weird demise.
I will not have committed suicide. It will most likely
have been my wife's cat. So I rarely like to
(18:53):
talk about what some rando on Twitter says, like some
rando lefty, because it rarely matters to me what some
rando lefty thinks. But every now and then, just once
in a while, some rando lefty says something that is
so absurd, so ridiculous, and it it ties into some
(19:16):
level of the national conversation, perhaps by accident that you
just and you see them get ratioed and then you
just have to talk about it. And that's the case
right here. Like again some rando on Twitter, like, who
the heck cares what they think. But against the backdrop
of the crime problems that are happening here in Louisville,
(19:38):
that are happening in San Diego where I do a
daily show, that are happening in Colorado or I live
like it, there's so much violent crime and it's going
down right because a lot of people that were perpetrating
violent crime have been rounded up. No, I'm not saying
most illegal immigrants are violent criminals. I'm saying a bunch
(19:59):
of them were, and they were let in by Biden,
and in the process of picking up everybody, we're getting
some of those guys out. I mean, just talk to
the residents of the apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado that
was taken over by trende Agua. I mean, if if
that doesn't mean violent crime hasn't gone down because those
guys have been removed. But I mean the stats coming
(20:20):
out of DC are crazy, like eighty percent lower murder rate,
forty five percent lower car theft rate, all in just
a week from basically the President going, hey, this is
our capital. We're going to clean it up. And I
didn't have a problem with that, Like I'm not a
statist by any stage, safe or form or form. I'm
totally a libertarian. But in this case, it's the nation's capital.
The federal government does have a little bit of play
(20:40):
there because it's not really a state. And since the
nation's capital was lying to its voters, to its people,
to its constituents about the crime. President but Trump was like, hey,
this is our house. We got to clean it up.
This is this is our this is the front room
of our house, the welcome room of our house. But anyway,
crime is a huge issue in all of America's major city.
And what do all of america America's major cities have
(21:02):
in common where this crime has gone up. They all
have Democrat mayors. And it's funny because a lot of
those Democrat mayors right now are very hilariously taking credit.
They're go, oh, I don't know why you're upset with me.
I mean, crime is down twenty five percent, yeah, because
enforcement is taking place now. Okay, so that's the backdrop.
(21:22):
I gotta talk about this. This is pretty funny. Some
rando on Twitter was, I guess I don't know what
possessed this person, but he does have I can say
he because he put his pronouns in his bio on
Twitter slash acts. He him, so I can say he him.
So here's what he him said. He him said, people
(21:42):
think before you react. Now, wait, let me pause. I
gotta I gotta set the scene here for a second. Okay,
I all right. I want you to imagine that you're
a home asleep in bed peacefully s right. Okay, You're
(22:04):
sleeping home, safe in bed, your fourteen year old daughter
is in her bedroom asleep, your wife snuggled up next
to you, Your twelve year old son is in his
bedroom asleep, and all of a sudden, you hear the
proverbial bump in the night. Okay, that's the scene, and
(22:26):
you realize that somebody has broken into your house. Okay,
that's the scene. Now that's the scene. Imagine that's the scene.
Let's go out. That's the scene. Okay. Some dude named
Mike Gerald gibbs Hee him said, people think before you react.
It is not, in all caps a good idea to
(22:47):
encourage people to violently resist a home invader or robber.
Asterisk asterisk, asterisk. That's how people get killed. Your best
self defense is cooperate, don't resist, and wait for help
to arrive. He then goes on to say, no, no,
(23:11):
he's not done. This is what I'm saying. Some people
just step in it, and you gotta make fun of him.
He says, the notion that people should use violence to
defend their property is insane. Life is more important than property.
Leave subduing and capturing the robber to professional police officers. Okay,
now again, let's go back to the scene that I
set according to this guy, like we don't. First of all,
(23:35):
people that break into other people's houses. Sometimes it's to
steal your stuff, sometimes it's to rape your daughter. Okay,
So what this guy is saying is, hey, look that
robber slash rapist's life is more important than protecting your
daughter's sanctity. You need to wait until the professionals arrive.
(23:57):
This is what this guy is saying. What Now, clearly
this is absurd, right, I mean, I don't even think
most liberals believe this, Like I know liberals at own guns.
I think most liberals don't even believe this at all themselves. Right,
this is just some But here's where liberalism tends to lead.
It leads to this sort of outsized moral superiority. First
of all, this guy probably couldn't fight his way out
(24:18):
of a wet paper bag. Okay, he him's getting his
ass kicked, all right. I'm just saying because he because
and I love the arrogance of it. Like he knows
all about self defense, he knows he's an expert. Let's
look at his profile. Let's see. I'm gonna dig in
(24:39):
here a little bit. He's a family caregiver and aspiring astronomer. Yeah, Okay,
he looks exactly in his Twitter picture. He looks exactly
like you think he looks. He's a dork times a thousand.
(25:02):
He ain't winning that fight. Maybe he should cooperate. I
just find it interesting, especially from the leftist point of view,
that I mean, we went through the whole mean too thing.
You're basically you're really you're gonna tell Okay, you're telling
that to a female homeowner, she's home by herself, tell
her to cooperate. Really, really, that's what you're doing. That's
you're hanging your hat on that. Yeah, Jackwagon, come on, No,
(25:27):
somebody breaks into your house. People are them away. I'm
just saying. I'm not saying, but I'm saying right like
I mean, I'm not. Look, I don't believe in defending
property with deadly force. I really don't. That's what jac
a state farm is for. I'm calling on Monday morning
getting a new car or whatever. So if I come downstairs,
if I hear the bump of the night and I
come downstairs and I see Jackwagon one carrying my eighty
(25:51):
five inch television out, I'm not gonna shoot him because
I don't want to hurt my eighty five inch television.
I mean, you know, it's nice television. Somebody ought to
be able to enjoy it. And I'll get a new
one from Jake. And if it's a seventy five inch,
when I call Jake at Stay Farm Money, I'm gonna
tell him it's to eighty five. I'm just kidding. No,
I'm just kidding. I'll be honest. I promise. If I
see jack Wagon number two carrying I don't know my
(26:14):
spatula that I got at eleven o'clock at night on Amazon,
and it is very precious to me out of the kitchen,
I'm probably not gonna shoot him either, because I know
they're stealing my property. Now I'm gonna shut the door,
and if they come back in, we're gonna have another conversation.
But I'm calling the police and like letting them know
what this Jackwagon number one and Jackwaggon number two looks like.
But if I catch them on the other way around,
(26:35):
if I catch them as they're coming in and they
don't have anything in their hands as far as my stuff,
they're not stealing my stuff yet, they're just coming in,
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna pop quism. Hey, are
you here to attack my wife, rape my daughter or
just steal my TV? Because I just need to know
which one. No, we're having an entirely different conversation. And
you know what that is. That's you're god given right.
(26:57):
And everybody in America knows this, even even even liberals
know this. It's not But here's my point in all this, Like,
why am I even bringing this up again? What some
rando says on Twitter slash x typically doesn't matter, and
there are a lot of stupid things being said on
(27:21):
Twitter slash x, But every now and then, somebody, you
have an ignoramus the size of Uranus the planet. You
have an ignoramus coming in on one side, and then
you have on the other side, you have h a
thing that's happening in society where when the two converge,
(27:43):
it just makes sense because it taps into that sort
of vein. And right now in America, people are very
concerned about violent crime, and it's an ongoing issue, and
especially if you live in Democrat run cities like Louisville,
it's a bigger it's a bigger issue, I mean how much.
(28:04):
And they like to call it the left like to
call it gun violence. How much gun violence have we
had in Louisville this year? I mean it's a lot.
I don't like to call it gun violence. I call
it violence. Right. Like, it's like assault weapons. I can
make you an assault turtle if you want me to.
I'll just tape an AR fifteen to it, tie a
little string to the trigger, and then send it across
the neighborhood to you. It's going to be a slow
(28:24):
assault weapon. But it's an assault weapon. It's assult turtle. Right.
An assault is an action that a human takes against
another action. That's what an assault is. What they use
is only relevant to the extent of the amount of
damage that what they use can do. Right, Like a
baseball back can do just as much damage physically to
an individual, if not more, as a firearm can. Now,
(28:46):
obviously a firearm can do it faster and therefore can multiply,
but it's still it's not an assault weapon. It's just
a firearm. And in most cases in America ninety nine
point nine nine nine percent of the time, it's being
used in a self defense situation and it's stopping bad
things from happening. But we have a few nut bags
out there. They're going around and they're hurting people. And
(29:10):
then we have other nut bags that are leftists on
Twitter and they go, you know, I really think you
should probably cooperate with them. That's probably the best thing
to do. You should probably cooperate. I don't know if
this was a situation, but there was a couple Hollywood
power couple in Beverly Hills a couple of weeks ago.
They were the former producers of I think it was
(29:34):
might have been Shark Tank. It was one of the
reality TV shows, and they came home and there was
a there was a burglar in their house. And I
don't know whether they were cooperative or not, but the
burglar just decided to kill them. And if the burglar
has a deadly weapon, and you don't necessarily know that
when they come in, so you don't know what their
intentions are. That's that's how dumb this guy is, right, Like,
(29:55):
you don't know what their intentions are, so it becomes difficult. Anyway.
I'm not talking about this to give you a lecture
on home safety. I'm talking about this because I think
it's funny that every now and then you'll have like
one Dingleberry like this, who I think, in some ways
is representative of the total dumbness of thought on the
(30:16):
left in America. Like that's what I'm getting at, Like
it's a there's a total dumbness factor of thought on
the left in America. And this guy kind of even
though a lot of Democrats probably don't even agree with him,
but it's just one pops up and it's like, these
are the booyes that tell us, that warn us don't
go in there. These are the buoyes that they're bobbing
up and down in the waves. They're going, hey, there's
(30:38):
a storm ahead, let's not go in there. Like these
people are stupid. And if these people that think like
this are allowed to stay in charge of Democrat cities
because he's what is he what he's doing larger point,
what he's doing is he's embodying the larger philosophy, even
though rank and file Democrats don't believe with this, the
larger philosophy of Democrats in Democrat run cities is let
(31:00):
the criminal get away with what they're doing and everyone
else just cooperate with them. That's why in San Francisco
you have to people have to leave their hatchback open
on their car and roll their windows down and put
notes on their seats that say, there's nothing valuable in here,
please don't break my windows because the city has basically said, no,
you need to cooperate with criminals. That's why they had
to do an app to tell you where to not
(31:20):
step in poop, because rather than clean the poop up
and get these guys off the street, unless the Chinese
are visiting, you know, the President of China's visiting, they
basically just let everybody that's homeless do whatever they want,
but you'll get a ticket for parking in a space
you shouldn't park in. Right anyway, just absolutely absurdly. I
thought it was hilarious. I'm just pointing it out. Pointy
headed leftists have no clue. All right, there you go. Okay,
(31:43):
thank you, thank you for letting me sit in this week.
It's been fun. I'll be here tomorrow one more day.
We've got Congressman Thomas Massey pop it on the program
tomorrow at eleven thirty, so that'll be a lot of fun.
So we'll get with him and find out what's going
on in his world. We'll talk some UK sports all
kinds of fun. Tomorrow, I am Leland. Follow me on
Twitter It's at Leland's show, or just look for Gavin
(32:04):
Newsom's hair Instagram as well at Gavin Newsom's Hair rock
it on news Radio eight forty w h A s
Yeah, Tony Dwight off today. I am Leland Conway sitting
in for him. Thanks for letting me hang out. Pretty
proud of myself. Uh, winning, winning really. In the year's
last segment, we're hoping to get Representative Jason Nemus on
the program, but we will see if we can dial
him up before. But if he does, we do connect
(00:21):
with him, we will get him on here in just
this minute. But I want to go back to something
we started the show off with because it's kind of
like the Talk of America right now, and it's this
issue of President Trump signing an executive order that essentially
would make it illegal to burn a flag. Here's the
President speaking about this lastly, sir, this is.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
An executive order on flag burning that charges your attorney general.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Would you listen to this. This is a point flag
burning all over the country. They're burning flags all over
the world.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
They burn the American flag, and as you know, through
a very said court.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I guess it was a five to four decision. They
called it for a speech.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
But there's another reason, which is perhaps much more important.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
It's called death. Because what happens when you burn a
flag is the area goes crazy. If you have hundreds
of people, they go crazy. You could do other things.
You can burn this piece of paper, you can and
it's but when you burn the American flag, it incites riots.
So there you go. It's President Trump. Yesterday. Antonin Scalia,
(01:26):
the great conservative Supreme Court justice himself back in twenty
twenty twelve, had this to say about our king.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I would not allow people to go about burning the
American flag. However, we have a First Amendment which says
that the right of free speech shall not be abridged,
and it is addressed in particular to speech critical.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Of the government.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
I mean that was the main kind of speech that
tyrants would seek to suppress. Burning the flag is a
form of expression. Speech doesn't just mean written words or
oral words.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It could be semaphore and gus and I learned what
that means this morning.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Burning a flag is a symbol that expresses an idea.
I hate the government, the government is unjust. Whatever.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
If you're not sure, then in the end, does no
one knows the Constitution better than you do. Doesn't it
come down to your personal interpretation of the Constitution If
it isn't clear, which it clearly isn't You in the
end have to make an opinion, don't you.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Well, I don't forget.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
This person has to be convicted by a jury of
twelve people who unanimously have to find that he was
inciting to riot.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So, okay, a couple things. One I disagree with President
Trump on this. I think it should be legal to
burn a flag. I hate flag burners. I hate them
with all of my heart. I also think that though
fix to this is to make it legal to punch
them in the face, I think we should be That's
the one time you should be able to punch somebody
in a face is when they're burning a flag. There
(03:07):
should be consequences to your speech. So we talked about
that in the first hour. If you want to go
back and listen to the podcast, you can. And I
made my point very clear. I'm a free speech absolutist.
I don't care if people don't like the speech. I
don't care if I don't like the speech. I'm going
to stand up for your right to say it, no
matter how grotesque I think it is. Okay that being said,
(03:29):
the left is going nuts about this, and they're going
cee cee. We told you that Trump was an authoritarian CEC.
We told you. Well, here's their precious Joe Biden in
nineteen ninety five, proposing a constitutional amendment to make it
illegal to damage an American flag for any reason at all.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Our diversity naturally pushes us apart, not together. What holds
us together as a nation, President is not a common language,
although I think that is necessary.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It is the national symbol.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
The reason it is worth preserving is because it unifies
this diverse nation. The flag's unique place in our national
life means that we should preserve it against all manner
of destruction. A statute making an unlawful to burn, mutilate,
or trample upon any flag of the United States period.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
There you go. There's there's Joe Biden nineteen ninety five,
no matter, not not even make it illegal to burn
the flag, make it illegal to step on the flag.
I know, I just I love liberals. This is okay.
Let me give you an example of why I love liberals.
(04:50):
They're fun, they really are. Let me see if I
can pull this up. Where is it? Here we go? Okay,
so you guys know about the illegal immigrant who is
Miss thirteen gang member accused of being a human trafficker, right,
what's his name of Brago, kill Mar Abrago Garcia. So
this guy's been picked up, he's turned himself in and
(05:15):
now apparently I think they got him somehow he got
out and now I think he's going to like some
other country, I don't know, Uganda or someplace like that. Anyway,
the left was protesting his detention because this is an
MS thirteen gang member accused of human trafficking. And they
all a bunch of these people like this is exactly
(05:35):
who you think they are. They're all white liberals. They're
all wearing gardening hats, you know, the big wide brim
gardening hats, and they're all wearing pink vests. And they
did a protest, and they did a singing protest. This
is this is heck no, kill Mar. It's our neighbor.
(06:06):
You can't have him Trump what they're all wearing pink vests,
you can't have him. No, heck no. It's just like
the most estrogen fueled protest I have ever seen in
my life. The dude in the front, he's wearing like
(06:27):
a Paisley shirt and he's got his little fruit fru
beard and he's leading the song. Kill Mar is our neighbor.
The dude's an MS thirteen gangbanger, a human trafficker, allegedly.
This is this is why I love liberals, because they're idiots.
So anyway, they're all upset about this. And here's here's
(06:50):
the reason why I bring all of this up. I
have a point that I'm trying to make. I do
not agree with burning the American flag. I do not
agree with burning really any flag because I think it's
I think it's a particularly inhumane insult. Right. This is
why I think it should be illegal to punch somebody
in the face that burns the American flag. But I
(07:12):
have to make this point about the juxtaposition of hypocrisy
in political speak in America, because this is fascinating to me.
The moment we drop American flag from this and insert
LGBTQ flag, the left will support it. In fact, it's
(07:34):
not only that they've already got that. It is currently
illegal to damage an LB LGBTQ flag. Don't not technically,
it's not technically in the law that you can't burn one.
But trust me, you burn one, you're going to jail.
I mean, there where did that happen? Was it? Gus?
Was it in West Virginia that the guy did the Yeah, Huntsville,
(07:58):
he did the burnout on the LGBTQ cross crosswalk or
something like, they had the rainbow painted on there. Dudes
in jail. Dude goes to jail for that, gets charged
with a hate crime. Right, And that's not even a flag,
that's just a symbol. That's just a symbol. Now do
I think that people should be doing No. Number One,
I have friends that are gay, So I just there
(08:21):
are political elements of the LGBTQ movement that I get
very vehemently disagreement with, especially when it comes to grown
ass men wearing dresses in women's bathrooms and locker rooms,
like that's my line, No, you can't go in there. Sorry.
Other than that, I don't care how you live your life.
I'm not here to judge you by that. But there's
also a lot of really good people that that's their lifestyle, right,
(08:43):
And I'm not here to burn their flag because I
don't like them. Whatever. I don't dislike them, I disagree
with politics, I don't disagree with them entirely as a
group as human beings, right, So, as a normal, logical
minded human being, I can separate those too. So do
I like it when somebody burns an LGBTQ flag or
(09:04):
something like that. No, I don't think it's I don't
think that's a productive way of disagreeing with human beings.
But should you be able to, Absolutely, you should be
able to because it's free speech. It's absolutely. There's there's
no difference, no functional difference whatsoever between burning an lgbt
flag or burning an American flag when it comes to
the level of insult that is aimed at somebody. And
(09:28):
so if free speech is free, if we're allowed to
have free speech, we have to be allowed to have it,
and it doesn't matter how egregious. Would I call it
egregious to burn an LGBTQ flag, Absolutely, Would I call
it egregious to burn an American flag? Absolutely? But you
(09:48):
have to be free to do it. I just think
it should be legal to punch somebody in the face
for it. I think, I think to me, that's that's
that's the way you fix this problem. So all right,
we have we have a representative, Jason Nemus on the
line with us. Sir, how are you man, It's good
to talk to you again.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
My friend couldn't be any better. What kind of weather
is I mean, this is the best weather in the world, dude.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
When the humidity moves out, even if just for a
little while, that's when it's best time to be in Kentucky.
That spring and fall. Man, it's my favorite. I love it.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I agree, So I agree.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
While we're on the subject, I do want to get
your thoughts on this, you know, at the Kentucky level,
the President saying we should make it illegal to burn
American flags. Do you agree with that sentiment? What do
you think about that?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I don't agree with that. I think it's protected by
the First Amendment. I do think that it's it's it
could it could be used. It could incite people to response,
some kind of response, and so I know it's not
exactly you know, it's not like burning leaves or anything.
It does have a symbolic meaning and so it means more.
I understand that. But we do have the First Amendment
right that I think should be protected.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
What we should do though, Leland, you know, people on
our side, we need to focus on fostering more respect
for the flag, for example, in our high schools, for
you know, uh in JCPS I'm told by students that
when they have the pledge of allegiance, nobody stands up
except for just a few kids, and so you know
that that should be required to stand up. So there's
(11:19):
a lot of things we need to do to foster
respect for the flag. Yeah, I do think you should
be able to burn up, but I do think it
should be it's your constantional right to them. So well,
and now if you're do it in public, by the way,
you can't burn stuff in public, So that's the end.
That might be the way to answer it.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Where So like a citation for citation for setting a
fire in public.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, you can't set a fire in public. You can't
burn you know, you can't burn any flags or anything.
You can't burn your shirt in public. So if you
do it and look it's part of a protest, I
think the police should should stop that because we can't
allow arson or anything of that nature. So that may
be a way to stop it.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
But but not growing them in jail for a year
with no bail.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
That's right. Yeah, fundamentally it's a you know, it's ugly.
I don't like it. My grandfather would be it would
be very upset. If you heard me say it, but
I do believe it's it's.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
A constant right to be a dumbass. Excuse me, Yeah, no,
I get it. Let's talk a little bit about Kentucky stuff.
What's going on in the getting ready for what? January sixth,
I think the new legislature starts. What what do you
have on tap for next year? What is what is
your party going to do? And how might it change
the landscape here in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Well, we've done a lot. We've had the voters in
twenty sixteen gave the keys of the ship of state,
so to speak to Republicans, and we've done a great
deal on uh, you know, on economics front and on
and on social issues as well, on schools. So we've
done We've done a great deal. This next year is
a budget session, so that'll take the majority of the
of the time. There's is nuts and boats budgeting. We're
(12:46):
hoping to reduce taxes again. We went from six percent
to three point five percent on the state income tax.
We're going to try to reduce that a little bit
again if we can.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Is it let me pause you there is it? Is
the goal there to drive zero Yeah, okay, because man,
all the way back to Steve Basheer when he was governor,
I was in his office with like a plan that said, hey,
we gotta get to zero income taxes. He didn't agree,
but he at least met with me. So that's your
plan is to drive it down to zero.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It's not just my plan, it's the legislature's plan. So
we've enacted a law that says we're going to get
to zero, and so we're doing it. It's a conservative
approach to a conservative goal. And so what we're doing
is we're budgeting very conservatively and for every if we
can get two dollars of unbudget in revenue for every
dollar that's not budgeted, so then we can reduce it
(13:34):
by half of a percent. So what that means is
if you reduce it about half a percent, that takes
about seven hundred million dollars out of the coffers.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yes we can.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
If we can have one point four billion in revenues
that aren't budgeted, then we can reduce it that half
of a percent. So it's a conservative a go and
a good thing for that is two things. One, it
gets there overtime, So we're being methodical and we're not
starving the legitimate needs of government. But it also requires
us to be very disciplined.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So we talk.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
We always talk about when we're talking about buzzing, is
this a need or is this a one? Now we
can argue on whether something's a need or something's a one,
but the important point is we're asking those questions on
every on every buzzeting issue. So we're being very disciplined
with the taxpayer's dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
To really get this done though to zero are you
gonna have to have I hate to be partisan, but
are you gonna have to have a supportive Republican governor
to do it?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Uh? Well, we don't care about who the governor is
on with respect to this. You know, my favorite, my
third favorite day of the year's veto override Day. My
favorite days each or my second favorites Christmas. My third
favorite day is veto overright day because Leland, what's the
only thing better than voting for a good bill once
vote for twice. So we don't care about the governor's vetoes.
We override every one of them. By the way we vote.
(14:46):
We override all of Governor Bevan's metoes as well, so
it would be great to have a governor because he
could do who supported this, because he could be out
there pitching it to the people more. But we're gonna
do it whether the governor likes it or not. Now,
I will say this, here's the here's the beautiful thing.
When the governor, when we first passed the bill, the
governor vetoed, we overrode the veto. Then when we reduce
(15:07):
taxes the first time for the second time, the governor
then signed it and acted like he's the reason that
we're reducing taxes and running first nationwide, saying, look, I'm
the guy that's reducing taxes, so he's you know, that's
obviously is not true. But we're happy to have his
signature even though we don't have his his real support.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I'm sure the media helps him take credit for that too,
don't they.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Oh yeah, they're not gonna have to question him. And
the other thing, by the way, I want to say
is on coming up with this coming session. I hope
when we look back at the twenty twenty sixth session
and we look at and we label it the Housing Session.
Representative Susan Whitten is the head of our Housing Task
Force and thankfully she's right here in Louisville, obviously.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah. I love her, and not not not just because
she's she's Dwight Whitting the hosts of the shows. Yeah, yeah,
in spite of that. Yeah, I'll tell I'll tell Dwight
you said that.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
That's good, I'll tell that, right. But she's a serious
legislator getting it done. That's a massive issue we have
across Kentucky, especially in Louisville, and we have to get
it right. And when we hear about affordable housing, I
don't know what that means. It means if you have,
if you ask ten people, it means something different. To me.
What it means principally, it means I want to I
want housing, fervid. I got that principally for me. The mechanic,
(16:18):
the nurse, the guy in the gal who's going to
work every day busting their tail, and they are making
America work. They need to have an opportunity to purchase
something Leland. Our kids don't. Our kids are priced out
of the market right now, and we know the best
way to accumulate. Well, if you want to rent your
whole life, great, that's your choice. But we know the
best way to accumulate wealth and the way to get
our citizens of care a little bit more about their
area is to get them a little bit of ownership.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
And that's what we need to fight for.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy and most of its government interference
that's driving those prices up. And uh yeah, I look,
I live in Colorado. It's it's pricing houses here. The
housing prices are insane here. Yeah, we got a little
before it spiked. But yeah, well listen, Representative Nemus. It's
always good to talk talk to you. It's great to
hear your voice again. Thanks for constantly being a fighter
(17:03):
for freedom in Kentucky. And we appreciate your your measured
leadership anytime. All right, brother, talk soon, all right, when
we continue. I don't usually like to talk about what
some rando liberal says on Twitter, but sometimes they say
something so stupid and it lines up with issues that
are actually happening in America, and it becomes fun to
(17:25):
make fun of them for a little bit. Coming up
at the bottom of the hour, Leland Conway in for
Tony and Dwight News Radio eight forty wajas It's Antonia
Dwight Show. Leland Conway hanging out with you today. I'll
be back tomorrow thanks to the guys Tony and Dwight
for letting me sit in their seat. Niked just saying yeah,
(17:46):
love those guys. They'll be back coming up next. Rarely
do I ever want to just have a conversation about
something some rando said on Twitter. But sometimes people say
stuff so stupid and it coincides with stuff that's going
on in society at the same time that it's worth
actually talking about. That's coming up next. It has to
(18:07):
do with home invasions and idiots who think you should
just cooperate with criminals. Next, Leland Conway and for Tony
and Dwight on News Radio eight forty wahas Leland Conway
sitting in for Tony and Dwight the legendary here on
news Radio eight forty whas. You can follow along on
Twitter slash x at Leland Show. Just search for Gavin
(18:31):
Newsom's hair. We're also on the insta same Gavin Newsom's
hair at Gavin Newsom's Hair. That's what you're looking for,
so come join the conversation. We have fun. I post
pictures of my wife's cat that works for the NSA
and it's trying to kill me, and I'm just posting
them in case there is some kind of weird demise.
I will not have committed suicide. It will most likely
have been my wife's cat. So I rarely like to
(18:53):
talk about what some rando on Twitter says, like some
rando lefty, because it rarely matters to me what some
rando lefty thinks. But every now and then, just once
in a while, some rando lefty says something that is
so absurd, so ridiculous, and it it ties into some
(19:16):
level of the national conversation, perhaps by accident that you
just and you see them get ratioed and then you
just have to talk about it. And that's the case
right here. Like again some rando on Twitter, like, who
the heck cares what they think. But against the backdrop
of the crime problems that are happening here in Louisville,
(19:38):
that are happening in San Diego where I do a
daily show, that are happening in Colorado or I live
like it, there's so much violent crime and it's going
down right because a lot of people that were perpetrating
violent crime have been rounded up. No, I'm not saying
most illegal immigrants are violent criminals. I'm saying a bunch
(19:59):
of them were, and they were let in by Biden,
and in the process of picking up everybody, we're getting
some of those guys out. I mean, just talk to
the residents of the apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado that
was taken over by trende Agua. I mean, if if
that doesn't mean violent crime hasn't gone down because those
guys have been removed. But I mean the stats coming
(20:20):
out of DC are crazy, like eighty percent lower murder rate,
forty five percent lower car theft rate, all in just
a week from basically the President going, hey, this is
our capital. We're going to clean it up. And I
didn't have a problem with that, Like I'm not a
statist by any stage, safe or form or form. I'm
totally a libertarian. But in this case, it's the nation's capital.
The federal government does have a little bit of play
(20:40):
there because it's not really a state. And since the
nation's capital was lying to its voters, to its people,
to its constituents about the crime. President but Trump was like, hey,
this is our house. We got to clean it up.
This is this is our this is the front room
of our house, the welcome room of our house. But anyway,
crime is a huge issue in all of America's major city.
And what do all of america America's major cities have
(21:02):
in common where this crime has gone up. They all
have Democrat mayors. And it's funny because a lot of
those Democrat mayors right now are very hilariously taking credit.
They're go, oh, I don't know why you're upset with me.
I mean, crime is down twenty five percent, yeah, because
enforcement is taking place now. Okay, so that's the backdrop.
(21:22):
I gotta talk about this. This is pretty funny. Some
rando on Twitter was, I guess I don't know what
possessed this person, but he does have I can say
he because he put his pronouns in his bio on
Twitter slash acts. He him, so I can say he him.
So here's what he him said. He him said, people
(21:42):
think before you react. Now, wait, let me pause. I
gotta I gotta set the scene here for a second. Okay,
I all right. I want you to imagine that you're
a home asleep in bed peacefully s right. Okay, You're
(22:04):
sleeping home, safe in bed, your fourteen year old daughter
is in her bedroom asleep, your wife snuggled up next
to you, Your twelve year old son is in his
bedroom asleep, and all of a sudden, you hear the
proverbial bump in the night. Okay, that's the scene, and
(22:26):
you realize that somebody has broken into your house. Okay,
that's the scene. Now that's the scene. Imagine that's the scene.
Let's go out. That's the scene. Okay. Some dude named
Mike Gerald gibbs Hee him said, people think before you react.
It is not, in all caps a good idea to
(22:47):
encourage people to violently resist a home invader or robber.
Asterisk asterisk, asterisk. That's how people get killed. Your best
self defense is cooperate, don't resist, and wait for help
to arrive. He then goes on to say, no, no,
(23:11):
he's not done. This is what I'm saying. Some people
just step in it, and you gotta make fun of him.
He says, the notion that people should use violence to
defend their property is insane. Life is more important than property.
Leave subduing and capturing the robber to professional police officers. Okay,
now again, let's go back to the scene that I
set according to this guy, like we don't. First of all,
(23:35):
people that break into other people's houses. Sometimes it's to
steal your stuff, sometimes it's to rape your daughter. Okay,
So what this guy is saying is, hey, look that
robber slash rapist's life is more important than protecting your
daughter's sanctity. You need to wait until the professionals arrive.
(23:57):
This is what this guy is saying. What Now, clearly
this is absurd, right, I mean, I don't even think
most liberals believe this, Like I know liberals at own guns.
I think most liberals don't even believe this at all themselves. Right,
this is just some But here's where liberalism tends to lead.
It leads to this sort of outsized moral superiority. First
of all, this guy probably couldn't fight his way out
(24:18):
of a wet paper bag. Okay, he him's getting his
ass kicked, all right. I'm just saying because he because
and I love the arrogance of it. Like he knows
all about self defense, he knows he's an expert. Let's
look at his profile. Let's see. I'm gonna dig in
(24:39):
here a little bit. He's a family caregiver and aspiring astronomer. Yeah, Okay,
he looks exactly in his Twitter picture. He looks exactly
like you think he looks. He's a dork times a thousand.
(25:02):
He ain't winning that fight. Maybe he should cooperate. I
just find it interesting, especially from the leftist point of view,
that I mean, we went through the whole mean too thing.
You're basically you're really you're gonna tell Okay, you're telling
that to a female homeowner, she's home by herself, tell
her to cooperate. Really, really, that's what you're doing. That's
you're hanging your hat on that. Yeah, Jackwagon, come on, No,
(25:27):
somebody breaks into your house. People are them away. I'm
just saying. I'm not saying, but I'm saying right like
I mean, I'm not. Look, I don't believe in defending
property with deadly force. I really don't. That's what jac
a state farm is for. I'm calling on Monday morning
getting a new car or whatever. So if I come downstairs,
if I hear the bump of the night and I
come downstairs and I see Jackwagon one carrying my eighty
(25:51):
five inch television out, I'm not gonna shoot him because
I don't want to hurt my eighty five inch television.
I mean, you know, it's nice television. Somebody ought to
be able to enjoy it. And I'll get a new
one from Jake. And if it's a seventy five inch,
when I call Jake at Stay Farm Money, I'm gonna
tell him it's to eighty five. I'm just kidding. No,
I'm just kidding. I'll be honest. I promise. If I
see jack Wagon number two carrying I don't know my
(26:14):
spatula that I got at eleven o'clock at night on Amazon,
and it is very precious to me out of the kitchen,
I'm probably not gonna shoot him either, because I know
they're stealing my property. Now I'm gonna shut the door,
and if they come back in, we're gonna have another conversation.
But I'm calling the police and like letting them know
what this Jackwagon number one and Jackwaggon number two looks like.
But if I catch them on the other way around,
(26:35):
if I catch them as they're coming in and they
don't have anything in their hands as far as my stuff,
they're not stealing my stuff yet, they're just coming in,
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna pop quism. Hey, are
you here to attack my wife, rape my daughter or
just steal my TV? Because I just need to know
which one. No, we're having an entirely different conversation. And
you know what that is. That's you're god given right.
(26:57):
And everybody in America knows this, even even even liberals
know this. It's not But here's my point in all this, Like,
why am I even bringing this up again? What some
rando says on Twitter slash x typically doesn't matter, and
there are a lot of stupid things being said on
(27:21):
Twitter slash x, But every now and then, somebody, you
have an ignoramus the size of Uranus the planet. You
have an ignoramus coming in on one side, and then
you have on the other side, you have h a
thing that's happening in society where when the two converge,
(27:43):
it just makes sense because it taps into that sort
of vein. And right now in America, people are very
concerned about violent crime, and it's an ongoing issue, and
especially if you live in Democrat run cities like Louisville,
it's a bigger it's a bigger issue, I mean how much.
(28:04):
And they like to call it the left like to
call it gun violence. How much gun violence have we
had in Louisville this year? I mean it's a lot.
I don't like to call it gun violence. I call
it violence. Right. Like, it's like assault weapons. I can
make you an assault turtle if you want me to.
I'll just tape an AR fifteen to it, tie a
little string to the trigger, and then send it across
the neighborhood to you. It's going to be a slow
(28:24):
assault weapon. But it's an assault weapon. It's assult turtle. Right.
An assault is an action that a human takes against
another action. That's what an assault is. What they use
is only relevant to the extent of the amount of
damage that what they use can do. Right, Like a
baseball back can do just as much damage physically to
an individual, if not more, as a firearm can. Now,
(28:46):
obviously a firearm can do it faster and therefore can multiply,
but it's still it's not an assault weapon. It's just
a firearm. And in most cases in America ninety nine
point nine nine nine percent of the time, it's being
used in a self defense situation and it's stopping bad
things from happening. But we have a few nut bags
out there. They're going around and they're hurting people. And
(29:10):
then we have other nut bags that are leftists on
Twitter and they go, you know, I really think you
should probably cooperate with them. That's probably the best thing
to do. You should probably cooperate. I don't know if
this was a situation, but there was a couple Hollywood
power couple in Beverly Hills a couple of weeks ago.
They were the former producers of I think it was
(29:34):
might have been Shark Tank. It was one of the
reality TV shows, and they came home and there was
a there was a burglar in their house. And I
don't know whether they were cooperative or not, but the
burglar just decided to kill them. And if the burglar
has a deadly weapon, and you don't necessarily know that
when they come in, so you don't know what their
intentions are. That's that's how dumb this guy is, right, Like,
(29:55):
you don't know what their intentions are, so it becomes difficult. Anyway.
I'm not talking about this to give you a lecture
on home safety. I'm talking about this because I think
it's funny that every now and then you'll have like
one Dingleberry like this, who I think, in some ways
is representative of the total dumbness of thought on the
(30:16):
left in America. Like that's what I'm getting at, Like
it's a there's a total dumbness factor of thought on
the left in America. And this guy kind of even
though a lot of Democrats probably don't even agree with him,
but it's just one pops up and it's like, these
are the booyes that tell us, that warn us don't
go in there. These are the buoyes that they're bobbing
up and down in the waves. They're going, hey, there's
(30:38):
a storm ahead, let's not go in there. Like these
people are stupid. And if these people that think like
this are allowed to stay in charge of Democrat cities
because he's what is he what he's doing larger point,
what he's doing is he's embodying the larger philosophy, even
though rank and file Democrats don't believe with this, the
larger philosophy of Democrats in Democrat run cities is let
(31:00):
the criminal get away with what they're doing and everyone
else just cooperate with them. That's why in San Francisco
you have to people have to leave their hatchback open
on their car and roll their windows down and put
notes on their seats that say, there's nothing valuable in here,
please don't break my windows because the city has basically said, no,
you need to cooperate with criminals. That's why they had
to do an app to tell you where to not
(31:20):
step in poop, because rather than clean the poop up
and get these guys off the street, unless the Chinese
are visiting, you know, the President of China's visiting, they
basically just let everybody that's homeless do whatever they want,
but you'll get a ticket for parking in a space
you shouldn't park in. Right anyway, just absolutely absurdly. I
thought it was hilarious. I'm just pointing it out. Pointy
headed leftists have no clue. All right, there you go. Okay,
(31:43):
thank you, thank you for letting me sit in this week.
It's been fun. I'll be here tomorrow one more day.
