Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Paul DeMarco joins us in the studio. Now, so many

(00:02):
different things I wanted to talk with you about today. Paul,
Good morning, welcome in, Good to see you.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Good morning. Hope you're will on this Friday.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Hey, how was your trip to the New England area?
He went to Boston, didn't.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
You, Well, no, John did, but I've been there before. Yeah,
and it was I knew John went up there. Yeah,
I've been up there before. It's beautiful up there, especially
in the summer when it's not as.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
I thought you were traveling recently.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yeah, but around the southeast.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Oh, okay, around the southeast, that's not up not up there,
up north, lobster rolls.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Well, the Olympics.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I don't know if you've been watching some of Juny
and I've been watching some of the girls. The gymnastics
seem just amazing. Uh. I'm kind of torn about watching
the Olympics and uh, you know, it's it's what took
place with the opening ceremonies, what took place with the
boxing situation now, the females boxers having to fight to.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
You know, a guy in the in the ring, the.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
The idiocracy of the IOC, and where we are in
this whole wave across our country right now with you know,
the stupidity is just outrageously you know, blowing me away.
And I really thought, you know what, I don't really
I want our people to do well in the Games.
We got what five hundred athletes over there. They've worked

(01:14):
hard to get there. So I said, you know what,
they didn't come up with these stupid policies. You know,
they're they're fighting to do as best they can in
their events. So we've been watching some of it, but
I saw this whole thing come out yesterday, you know,
with the with the boxing situation, and we'll get to
that in a second, but let's talk about the opening

(01:35):
ceremony and the attack on Christians here. And they tried
to spend it it's just French history and it's you know,
Marie Antoinette, it's not the Last Supper, and it's just
I don't care what you want to spin it as.
And it's clearly attack on Christianity. And all these celebrities
dressing up as Satan and putting the red on. I
mean that's everywhere these days award shows, and you know,

(01:59):
people come out and you know, their backup dancers have
the yells of Bob's head on them, and it's like,
what the hell are we doing in this country? I mean,
what a dumpster fire we're in. So just your general
thoughts on the Olympic Committee, you know, buying in and
weighing into all this woke crap that's going on.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Well, yeah, looks, kudos to the athletes and look there
are about seven of them from Alabama and congratulations own
getting to that pinnacle of athletic skill that you can
be there, right, And we've always looked at the Olympics,
but I think everybody's saying they've lost a lot of
respect for the Olympics at the beginning ceremony. And there's
been so much talk about the ceremony, but whatdn't he

(02:37):
interesting even here in Alabama if you were a Christian
and you said, I don't like what they did with
the Last Supper, Look, it clearly was that they were
even they've admitted it. They've admitted it, and you know
that people who are Christian were attacked for saying they
were offended by it. That is crazy where we are

(02:58):
right now, because other folks, if you say the wrong pronoun,
they want to throw you in jail, right, right, But
if a Christian is offended because of the mockery of
the Last Supper, which again it was, they've admitted it.
Now you look at all thems it was. Oh, but
you can't be offended by that.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
You're mean spirited if you are, Yeah, how dare you
say that's not good?

Speaker 2 (03:18):
If they look at what it's happened in France, the
number of attacks against Catholic churches. There was a Catholic
priest murdered own the altar a couple of years ago,
but we don't talk about all the attacks against Christians
that have happened in France. So this, this mockery, is
exactly what's saying.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
And I don't think we can be all that surprise.
France has been traditionally, you know, godless and moved in
this direction before, as you mentioned the killing of that priest.
But they've been down on Christians in France for quite
some time now.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
But it's also in the mockery.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
No cathedral and all these great religious figures and a
lot of people with faith this matter. One of the
French politicians like, don't take that opening ceremony as reflective
of all the French people right, because that was a
mockery and don't don't know that that's not us. But
again the people that are attacking, don't you're you're you know.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Here's the other thing.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
I think the French leadership and the next Summer Games
are going to be in Los Angeles in twenty twenty eight.
I think the leaders of the country have got to
sit down or require a sit down with the IOC
and guar what's your plan, what do you got what
creative directory I have you brought into to smear our
beliefs in this game?

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Joe Biden said it was spectacular.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Oh I know, sure, well you got.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
So I'd be careful on who you asked to judge
it was spectacular.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Probably say well, there's not enough of that, let's do
it at every event.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, good point.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
But at some point you got to say, look, no,
we're not going to do all that craziness. Okay, can
we stick to the sport and not try and you know,
just bring an agenda and throwing people's face.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
But how do you trust the Olympics committee? Now, look
what happened with the boxing and that poor Italian boxer.
So I don't trust the Olympics. I don't trust the
Olympic Committee because they are defending that. They're defending uh,
that boxing match. I mean if you took it outside
the boxing that would be an assault and you'd be
arrested for assault and battery.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
The World Boxing Association didn't clear this guy to box women.
This was already decided before this in the AA. The
IOC said, well, what we do is we allow the
extual individual sport event committees like the swimming committee, the
boxing committee, the track committee. We let those committees decide
what the rules are for participation. So they're blaming it

(05:44):
and pointing the finger over here, But you're right, the
IOC is in charge and they could have stopped this.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Ultimately, they're supposed to make sure the games are fair.
You watched the second, the forty second sex seconds of
forty six seconds or it wasn't fair. No, it was
horrible's and kudos to her or for stepping out, for
stepping out and saying no, I'm not gonna She had
a broken nose.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
I've never been hit this hard. She said, I'm not
going on with this, could call it, went to her
corner and told her manager to call this we're done.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
And give her also price for step and said, no,
don't kind of kind of cold't try to console me
after what you just did. You know, you shouldn't be
in this ring with me.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Donald Trump's comments when he went to speak with I
believe it was the National Association of Black Broadcasters and
he was talking to this aggressive ABC woman who was
coming after him for calling Kamala Harris out on her
claiming to be black, where she has claimed she used
to be an Indian. And then it's like she changes,
you know, wherever she is or what audience she's with,

(06:40):
she decides that's who she's going to be. And this
one was like so offended and said how dare you
do that?

Speaker 3 (06:46):
You know? And the JD Vance was.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Asked yesterday, you know, does it give you pause, you
know when when you hear about this and what Donald
Trump did at that Black conference and JD Vance's response, they.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Don't give me pause at all. Look, all he said
is that Kamala Harris is a chameleon. She goes to
Georgia two days ago, she was raised in Canada, she
puts on a fake Southern accent. She is everything to everybody,
and she pritends to be somebody different depending on which
audience she's in front of. I think it's totally reasonable
for the president to call that out, and that's all
he did. I mean, look, she's running as a tough
on crime prosecutor, even though she implemented open border policies.

(07:25):
She's saying that she wants to support the police, yet
she wanted to defund the police just three years ago.
It's totally reasonable to call out the fact that she
pretends to be somebody different depending on the audience she's
talking to.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Common the chameleon.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
There's a hat, all right, Paul, your thoughts on Kamala
Harrison her Southern accent?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Did you catch that too?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I did? I mean Hillary Clinton did this that the
Southern Well, they want to make folle onto the South
and then they come down what to be like us.
But you know what, we recognize a fake Southern accent,
right we live here exactly. You can't y'all as good
as we can. So don't don't try it. It ain't right,
it's not we don't like it. Come down. Just be yourself.

(08:06):
That's the problem with politics. People who come and then
they don't write. It's not real, But don't do that.
We don't like that. We don't like it in Hollywood,
and we don't like it with politicians. Don't try to
out y'all when you come down here.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Look, Kamala Harris right now is on a bit of
a honeymoon with the announcement Joe Biden's pulling out and she's.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Obviously going to be the next one running for president.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
The money came back all of a sudden, that was
drying up when Joe was being you know, more less
cognitive than ever. Now all the money's back plus some.
She laughs at everything these days. No matter where she is,
she's yet to have, you know, a real press conference
or question and answers because they don't want to. They're
going to hide her in the basement till it's time,
probably and keep her away from press conferences. She's got

(08:54):
scripts she reads from the teleprompter. At some point, the
honeymoon's going to fade before this selection and the reality
of having to address policies and issues is going to
step front and center. Okay, the cackling your way through
something because you're uncomfortable, you know, that's going to fade.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
It's not going to be acceptable anymore.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Well, there'll be a couple more weeks of honeymoon because
she's going to pick her VP VP. I think it's
they said to August the seventh. It's Tuesday, Yeah, so
that's around the corner. Then they'll have the Democratic Convention.
Of course it's in Chicago, so what kind of show
is that going to be in Chicago? So but then
you're right, folks say, well, let's talk about your policies

(09:33):
in the border and in increased prices at the grocery
store and the energy prices and then the border. And
you supported defund the police. That was you were all
about defund the police. Kamala Harris, the wars in the
Middle East and Ukraine, so you own and own.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Well, let's talk about Israel and Iran and the situation
that's you know, ramping up even more now with what
took place with Israel's attack and the leader Hamas in Tehran.
So you've got to Joe Biden, who kind of waffled
because no, you got to have Minnesota and Michigan, you know,
and there's some you know, Muslims there that are not
really on board with Israel.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
So you got.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Appease this part of our country. So he was back
and forth, he's talking about chameleons. But Kamala Harris on
the issue is further left than Joe Biden will ever
be in a number of things, including Israel and her
position on you know, stop the genocide, you know, you
know with Palestinians. So I'm I'm thinking that she's going

(10:34):
to be in worse shape than Joe Biden was when
it comes to supporting Israel.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
And that's not going to sid.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Well because the Biden Harris administration coddled Iran. They gave
them all the money back. They oh, we don't want
to bother you about the new nuclear weapons and everything.
Here's the problem is they emboldened. When you embolden terrorists,
they don't understand the curate approach. They only understand the
stick approach, which is what Israel understands because they're having

(11:02):
to survive with enemies at all of their borders.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
And we've grown through this for hundreds thousands of years.
Israel has been the center of attack from all directions, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
And at all centers in Iran.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, so yeah, and ya, who's taking the
attitude now, I'm not waiting on the United States. I'm
going and this is it. And next thing you know,
Iran's going. Well, you came to tey Ran. This ups
the game here, so it's inevitable that it's coming. So
all right, I want to get one last thought for you.
With the prisoner swap, the most recent news with the
Americans coming home. I love that, But what we gave

(11:36):
up as a hitman from Russia it's never even But
what does this send as far as a message to
the rest of the world adversaries that we'll just pluck
an American tourist out of the pot somewhere and hold
them until we get what we want. I mean, I
get it on one side. On the other side, it's
like Britney Griner was first to be negotiated home instead
of these guys.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
That's kind of weird.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Well, that to me bothers me as much as anything.
Why weren't these individuals considered earlier? And you look at this,
why do

Speaker 3 (12:05):
You think, all right,
