Speaker 1 (00:00):
John mounts in for a JT and we're joined in
studio as we are every week by the venerable Paul DeMarco.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Paul, Welcome to the show. Good morning jee Jeff. Listen
to me.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
None of us know what we're doing today. It's been
one of those weeks.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Good morning John, Good morning Paul.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
So one of the things that we always have you
on to talk about is something that ties into a
lot of the things going on in the media today.
You know, we're talking about like the what happened on
that bus and Charlotte with that guy who never should
have been out there who slipped the throat of the
Ukrainian girl. We talk about this guy, we don't have
the details yet, but the guy that's supposedly having custody
who shot Charlie Kirk. We talk about all these people
that are out doing bad things that shouldn't be out
(00:38):
because they are, you know, they were let out without
parole and.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You have an updown on this.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Well, unfortunately, the parole board released two more killers. One
was someone who murdered a victim after opening fire at
a graduation party. They were sentenced to twenty five years,
served twenty and they were paroled. Then we had another
one murdered, somebody sentenced to forty five years serve twenty
one years an out. But this current parole board is
(01:05):
failing the citizens of the state of Alabama. I think
they've released four individuals felons who are convicted of murdered,
one for manslaughter. They are hurting criminal, the crime victims,
and they're endangering the public. They are failing. The Alabama
pro board is failing the citizens of the state of Alabama.
Let me tell you it's not the prole officers, so
(01:29):
we can't blame them. It's the three member parole board
that is failing the citizens by allowing these killers back
on the street. And when you talk to your state
representatives and senators and you say, hey, you've got a
failing parole board, you fix this once back in twenty nineteen,
y'all've got to go back and revisit this.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Paul DeMarco is sitting next to me in the studio,
and Paul, we've been talking about the all of these
people who are coming out of the woodwork to celebrate,
to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk. And we're not
talking about like some random person on just on the internet.
We're talking although they're doing it on the internet, we're
talking about people who are actually teaching our kids in
school at universities.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I've seen teachers, I've seen doctors. I have seen there
were some soldiers. They may not be soldiers anymore, they
may have been relieved a duty. But I'm just trying
to think what goes through your mind. Someone was assassinated
in this country because of his political thought, and you
think I'm going to go own Twitter or Facebook and celebrated,
(02:31):
And you've got to really think what's going through that
person's brain when they post that. Now, thanks to libs
of TikTok, if you follow that, they have followed it.
And there was somebody i think at Ole, miss that
was terminated. There was somebody at Middle Tennessee State that
was terminated. You've seen was it the NFL team, somebody
(02:55):
on one of the the Panther No, let's say, what's
the Charlotte team.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
That was the Charlotte Panthers.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, I think somebody was terminated. So thank goodness. People say, no,
we're not going to tolerate you celebrating the assassination of
Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
The Mississippi. It was they said.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Charlie Kirk was a regimented clan member, the KKK Kirk
they called it. And the thing is and she worked
for the Chancellor's office at the O miss The academia
is full of those kind of people, sadly full full
of those said. We had some here locally who say
things the reason and they have been let me just
say that, there were a couple of folks here locally.
(03:34):
Now let me tell you they have been completely roasted
by people saying, what were you freaking thinking?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Good?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Why would you do this? What what in your mindset?
You live in our community and you're celebrating this. Why
would I want to be associated with you? Period? Because
of how awful you are in your comments are It's
just it's been horrible the past couple of days.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
It's because it's because of what we were talking about
earlier on the show, Paul, the idea that Charlie Kirk
is quote literally Hitler.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
If it's literally Hitler, you.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Can say anything. You can say anything you want bad
about Hitler. And so if anyone is equal to Hitler,
then you can say anything bad about the person because
they're literally Hitler or the Klan or whatever. You can
see like this professor here talking about how he was
a member of that. He wasn't a member. If you
go back and watch his video. He's never attacked anyone
even remotely, for for their race, or for their for
any of that sort of thing. Now he's the only
(04:26):
thing that he has. An attack is not the right word.
He has called out this, this farce that is this
whole transgender A man can be a woman, a woman
can be He's called that out because that's just ridiculous.
But that's not the same. But that's not the same
thing as putting people some of these.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
For them, their their their mindset is so evil that
they would come in and I would say that some
of the folks who live in our community who've been
to this, there's evil in their heart to celebrate the
death of Charlie Kirk. It's horrible. And again it hasn't
been in you know, other play in California, but we've
had folks right here in our community, right here in Birmingham, Alabama,
(05:03):
who have done this, and shame on them. But let
me just tell you they have been shamed. Trust me.
They have heard from a lot of people who have
roasted them said you were horrible for what you said
and did well.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
In this cancel culture we live in on the right,
somebody so much as breathes a word that doesn't comport
with the left's opinion of the way the world should be,
and they they get completely you know, they don't can't
have a job, they can't show their face in polite
society anymore. I don't think I don't like it on
either side, this whole cancel culture thing, but I do
(05:34):
think that if somebody, if somebody wants to go out
there and say things, they should be held accountable for
their actions.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well exactly, And I think that's what people said, is like,
if you're going to say this, I'm going to call
you out on it because it's so horrible that it's
not like you're for this, and I'm for this, and
you're a Republican, I'm a Democrat. It's no, it's like
you're celebrating somebody being assassinated and now you've left a
widow and two young children. You're horrible for saying that
and celebrating that.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
And you're also intellectual dishonest, because usually these people when
you try and actually nail them down. Okay, really, he's
literally hitler. Explain how he's hitler. They can't explain it.
They just get mad at you and then they start,
you know, cursing at you and things like that, and
then when they run out of words, then they use bullets,
which is what this assassin did.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Well, again, it has been a horrible week. This was
a horrible what has happened. And you got to keep
his wife and kids in your prayers. And as for
these people who have been celebrating, I don't know in
their mind. Maybe one day they will say, God, will
I hope that one day they may be eighty years old,
(06:37):
they'll be laying in their bed and said, yeah, what
I did was wrong. What I did was wrong. But
maybe not, Maybe they'll never understand that what they did
to post and celebrate this was wrong.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well, at least some places, even Matthew Dowbt, you know,
even MSNBC fired. At least they made the right decision
on that one, because he said something stupid, and it
was really stupid. If he was the one who made
that stupid cop meant about how he thinks he was fired,
that he was shot by a member of his own
a fan in his crowd who was having celebratory gunfire,
(07:08):
celebrating what. I don't know, but that was that was
what he posited just moments after or just hours after
we saw this happen.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, I guess give credit to I haven't given a
credit to MSNBC.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
But if the red letter read letter day, Paul DeMarco
gives credit to MSNBC for doing something right.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
He needed to be fired.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
But he's just the first of many who need to
be held account I.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Will, like I said, as there were at least three
or four yesterday. So I'm assuming you're going to see
some more individuals held accountable by their employers for their comments.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Because Paul, right now, your your voice and your name
is associated with your voice going over these airwaves right now,
and everything you're saying is out there and you're accountable
for them. And everyone should be held accountable for any
statement they say, if it's brilliant, if it's idiotic, but
you should be held accountable, held to account well, if
it's if you say, if you're out there celebrating the
assassnation of something that reflects on your employer, it does
(08:04):
because you your work, if your employer's out there doing
business in the business world. And somebody said, I don't
want to be associated with a company that hires people
who say these sort of things. And like I said,
it happens all the time from the left, canceling people
on the right. And all we do is we just,
you know, we want to, I don't know, say maybe
we shouldn't have to. Maybe we want to go to
church on Sunday. No that's bad.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Maybe you do.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I don't want to wear a mask when I'm alone
in my car. No, that's bad. You get canceled. That's
I remember during COVID you got canceled for all sorts
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I mean, yeah, we were saying, yeah, we can leave
the liquor stores open, but close the churches exactly exactly.
I disagree with that. But you have a rally. You
can have a rally against something, but you can't go
to church.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Not only that, Paul, you can't even say it. If
you say it, you get canceled. Yea.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Oh look, people who had the say, you know, I'm
gonna go to the school board and say, hey, I
disagree with this policy. Oh look, you're just some radical
nut job. You're a right wing radical Hitler because you're
just said, hey, I disagree with the policy. But that's
what you know. School boards are. You can get to
go to the school board and say, hey, these are
my children. I want to give you my opinion on
(09:09):
the policies that are going to affect my children. But
if you remember right, they were calling them terrorism, Yeah, terrorists.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Domestic terrorists because they were usually and what they would
the terrorist thing they would do is they would read
back the school board's own actions. I would like to
read from the minutes of last week's meeting. You can't
do that. That's a terrorist thing to read for the
minutes I would like to read from this book that
you put in the library. You can't read that out loud.
Why you want it on the shelves of the library
for the kids to read? Well, what happened this week
(09:36):
was terrorism, just like at the walmart and Homewood when
this individual set the fire inside and they set the
fire because of the whole uh police situation, which is
or why yeah, which would yeah, that's that's terrorism. And
I hope very soon that individual they've got one that
they have the other individual, and that is terrorism because
(09:59):
because the one guy. He was the one South Hall
South Paul.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
What was his name?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, yeah, he so he went in and piled up
all the flammable stuff and then he left and somebody
else came back in said it a blazer.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I So hopefully there will be a rest as well,
and they'll have both of these individuals and they need
to be charged because somebody could have died. Yeah. Yes,
he set a fire in a Walmart, a crowded Walmart
or any business. You know, it doesn't have to be Walmart.
You know that somebody could die. And then it was
based on politics. Again, they weren't going in there stealing
(10:34):
the reason. This was all tied to the protest that
happened that day, and it was all tied to a
political lie. Yeah, because they're still they're still saying that
it was that it was you know, police brutality and
his white supremacy and all.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
None of that was true. None of it was true,
But that doesn't matter to them because they want to
go ahead and just jin up animus and just jint
up that kind of protest. And that's the kind of thing, Paul,
that I think we have to we have to call
out in this country that's the kind of thing Charlie
Kirk was.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
He lost his life for it. But we can't let
that silence everybody. No, no, and you know again, just
thank law enforcement for what they do here locally and
what they're doing nashally when it comes to Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Paul DeMarco, thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Thank you
