I bet on the road all right. Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Is the big story just unceremoniously.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Cut?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I mean, can you stay canceled? I guess. I mean
it's yes, indefinitely.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Uh So this? Wow?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Is this? This is in the Daily Mail. Matt just
handed this to me. Jimmy Kimmel's canned show will be
replaced by a Charlie Kirk tribute, and the star won't
be allowed back on air unless he makes a donation
to Turning Point USA.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Is this? Have you seen this anywhere else? Matthew?
Speaker 6 (02:28):
That's oh, sorry, and go ahead. That's from Sinclair Media.
That's a request Sinclair is making in order to put
Kimmel back on their ABC stations.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
That's sorry, Matthew. I didn't mean to interrupt you.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
That's where well, we appreciate that, right. Nothing else that you.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
No, No, you said it better than I could have, Heather,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
So that is let me.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Break this down for those of you who don't know.
Let's set the story, shall we. Disney ABC is taking
Jimmy Kimmel Night talk show off the air indefinitely. Now,
this is a mid controversy over some comments that he
made about Charlie Kirk, suspected killer.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Now correct me if I'm wrong here, Heather, But.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Everything I saw publicly from Jimmy Kimmel on social media
was that he said that it was an ugly situation.
He didn't in any way mock the murder or assassination
of Charlie Kirk. From what I saw that, he put
(03:39):
heartfelt thoughts out to the family and do.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
You want to play? I have the clip here, do
you want to play? Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Please? Do.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
He hit some new lows over the weekend with the
Magga Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered
Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, And
do everything they can to score political points from. In
between the finger pointing, there was grieving. On Friday, the
White House flew the flags at half staff, which got
some criticism. But on a human level, you can see
(04:09):
how hard the president is taking this.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I can don't own the.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Locking your friend, Charlie Kirk, sir, personally, how are you
holding up for the last day and a half, sir?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
I think very good.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
And by the way, right there, you see all the trucks.
They just started construction of the new ballroom for the
White House, which is something they've been trying to get.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
As you know, for about one hundred and fifty years.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
And it's going to be a beauty. Yes, he's at
the fourth stage of grief construction.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Okay, So I'm sorry, that's a legitimate hit. So I
guess comedy wise, that's a legitimate hit. I know that
it's very tense. I hate the state of late night TV.
I'm a Carson guy. I enjoyed Jay Leno as well.
David Letterman was a huge fan of I love Conan,
(05:00):
and I think late night television is garbage. I think
it has gone these it seems like they've become political
activists that have a late night show. I want to
be entertained. I want to be taken away. Klgon take
me away. I want that, And it doesn't mean you
can't pick fun of the president. I think that's legitimate.
(05:22):
So I hate that and I want that out there
in the front. However, I do not agree that Jimmy
Kimmel should have been fired or his show canceled indefinitely.
I don't for what was said. I hated when Gina
Carano got taken off of the Mandalorian as Carradoon. I
(05:43):
enjoyed the character. I enjoyed her in it. I don't
agree with her politics across the board, but I think
she's a neat lady. I think she really cares, and
I think she was absolutely right to fight back and
she won. So Originally, when I heard this, my first thought, well,
it was Disney ABC, and I said, of course they did.
(06:05):
They have to because they did it to Gina, and
they have to stay consistent because it bit him in
the ass. Pedro Pascal had said something, who was the star,
had said something about uh It ties to Nazi Germany,
and he didn't get punished. There are others that had
(06:27):
that from the Disney. Uh, you know from Marvel Mark
what's his name, Ruffalo? Ruffalo, who's always shooting his mouth
off is a flaming liberal to the degree as well.
I can't I'm done with polars. Do you know why
we don't live at the North and South poles? They
are basically uninhabitable and and that's where I think politic
(06:51):
politics has gone to the most un inhabitable places on
the polar opposites. And I can't stand that we don't
think anymore. People are emotional since the nineties. You trace
it back, you go back to the nineties, schools stopped
teaching the basics and started focusing on emotions. It's really weird,
(07:13):
but you can see it in the curriculum, and we
don't teach reason anymore. Intellect is not based on memorization.
I can't stand that memorization is the lowest form of learning.
That's like jeopardy knowledge. It's not worth much problem solving.
(07:36):
Reason is intellect. That's why you can't get intellect in
a school. Doesn't mean you're intelligent because you have your degrees.
It means you're educated. There're two different things. So we've
gotten to this place where we.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Don't. We don't reason anymore.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
And I would love sometimes to mac Jimmy Kimmel in
the face for some of the things he says. It
just is so smug and left wingy and I can't
stand it. But I feel the same way about right
wingy smug stuff that I just go shut up, bring
some reason. And again, I don't like the state of
late night TV. It's boring, it's preachy, it's not fun
(08:23):
or creative.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
You don't like the games that Fallon plays, some of.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Them I do.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Actually, some of the stuff Fallon does I think is
smart and playful, and I think out of all of them,
I think he tries. And when it comes to Stephen Colbert,
I felt like he was defined that way based on
his previous show where he played like a Republican foe Republican.
So I give him he's allowed to play in that sandbox.
(08:50):
To me, yeah, because he kind of set it up
as it's like The Daily Show or something.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Where yeah, you set it up that way, I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I know what I'm getting into, But don't take Carson's
seat and make it a political platform, because that's not
what I want in that seat.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I feel like fallon though, is like the least political.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I agree, I agree, I absolutely agree, But I still
don't think that I think that he gets nailed for
stuff that he does. You know had recently Greg gut Failed.
Guttfeld from who once tried to make me fight. Uh
there's a guy who played Jesus in Passion of the Christ.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Oh yes, yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
So we were at a party and Guttfeld was drunk
and he kept trying to get me to fight the Visil.
He said, I want to see too, Jesus is fight.
He is the funniest guy. He is genuinely a super
smart and funny guy. But he wanted me to fight
fight Jim Cavisel at a party anyway, So my money's
(09:56):
on Savedra. Oh yeah, yeah, Diesel, He's take him down.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
So that's where I land on this, and I think
that it is incredibly dangerous, especially with a comedian. I
think that was a legitimate jab at Trump. He blew
off the question, and I think that was a completely
Now I disagree with the whole You know that he
that the kid was Maga.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
He's obviously not.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
He It seems he was in a relationship with a
guy transitioning and that although his parents seemed deep in
the MAGA system, it seems like he had other thoughts
and that he, you know, started going down this path.
But ultimately, I said it before, I don't care if
he killed Kirk because Charlie Kirk because he thought he
(10:46):
was too conservative, or that he killed him because he
thought he wasn't conservative enough. He killed someone for their
views and their speech, which is protected. And so I
don't think this is even if you're a MAGA hat,
I don't think this is a place to celebrate. Yes,
(11:06):
have I wanted to smack Himmel on occasion, Yeah, I
get it, But I don't think the show deserves to
be canceled based on what he said. His public statements
seemed to be genuine towards the family and the ugliness
of the assassination. And this was a setup for a joke.
(11:27):
Was he wrong Yeah about the MAGA situation. Absolutely, But
it is what President Trump said horrific.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah, he blew off.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
How you feeling after you know, your supposed buddy was assassinated,
shot in the neck?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I'm feeling pretty good. Look what I'm doing here, I mean,
that's weird. That's weird.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Neil Sevadra in the Morning Crew here this week and
next week. So the alleged assassin, which I hate saying
because it just I mean, it's the guy right for
all intentsive purposes, I.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Still have to say alleged that I know you do,
but do I we.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Do, because in America you are innocent until proven guilty.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
And where yeah, America, Well no, in South America, you're
guilty until proven innocent. In there America, the middle part
of the continent, America. Okay, Okay, I guess, so we
have to say alleged, Okay, alleged basically admitted to it.
But anyways, So the transgender roommate that he was living
(12:38):
with and was apparently his lover from the texts that
we saw so far, not the not the maga hat
that Jimmy Kimmel talked about, but uh, I guess he
was a bit of a handful. He was previously kicked
(12:59):
out of his parent's house over all kinds of issues
like substance abuse, gender identity. I don't know why you'd
kick somebody out of your house for gender identity, but
especially your your son or daughter. And then persistent video
game addiction, which is a scary thing as a dad
(13:23):
with a as a boy dad that you know, you
you got to watch that stuff because it is addicting.
I've never gone down the video game even though I
was raised in the eighties. I went to Casey's, went
to Casey's all the time, played video games in the
Dark Space Invaders Asteroids.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
Man, that was a Nintendo gal. I was all about Mario.
Give me any Mario game even to this day, and
I'll be.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Like, you're rich, I'll play I know right who, Yeah,
you played at home all the time.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Wow, you were rich.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
We gotta we got a Tari when everybody would when
everybody got Nintendo's like we had like the hand me downs.
We're playing Pong and everybody's you know, like eight bit,
like full on sixteen bit, not even.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Before my time. I'm very youthful. I'm very young.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yes, oh, you wouldn't understand that. No, you're like, what
you didn't have three D graphics? Uh so, yeah, they're fighting,
we're finding stuff. Lance Twigs is the gentleman's Wait has
he transitioned?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
I think so? I think.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I really I'm not looking to hurt people's feelings with
stupid stuff. Not that I'm a fan of having one
hundred and eight different pronouns, but I certainly want to
be respectful. But if it says lance twigs, I'm going
to go with with mail, I would yeah, not been
(15:02):
charged with a crime. Moved in to a town home
there in Saint George, Utah, which is gorgeous, by the way,
beautiful place out there. He was living with his grandparents
for a while, father kicked him out, says a relative.
And the twenty two year old is also in the
process of transitioning from male to female. So he was
(15:28):
kicked out of his parents' home at the age of eighteen.
And that's basically what we're learning about this guy and
his transitioning might have been and their love affair that
it appears to be might be part of the motive.
(15:51):
Because even the parents of Tyler Tyler Robinson Robinson, who's
accused of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, even his parents
said that he was his belief system started skewing heavily left,
(16:15):
and even I guess extreme left. I'd say, if you're
going to pick up a gun and shoot somebody, that's
pretty extreme, and that might have been part of this
love affair and him seeing things differently. He's referred to
as a Reddit kid too. Somebody does deep dive you know.
(16:36):
I know you were talking on this morning on wake
Up Call Heather about discord it in the line. Yeah,
I'm a part of all that stuff. I'm part of Reddit,
but I don't go down those paths. I certainly don't
go down political paths on either one of them. You know.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
There's I've been trying to read more about this sub sect,
this group of people who are claiming that Tyler Robinson
was called a groper.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
So yeah, so there is a frog cartoon you mean
that ties into this, So that's why. And and these
are would be uber conservatives who think that even people
that you might think is a extreme are not conservative,
are not extreme enough.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
So that's that's.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
It's like far far right extreme, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Saying everybody's rhinos basically. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
And it's a really fascinating deep dive into what can
happen when people get too far into the Internet and
subcultures and extremism on Reddit channels, on discord, on four Chan.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
You'll start hearing more of that term. But basically that's
what it is.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Believe. And that's why I said.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Whether he got shot because he wasn't conservative enough because
of that element, or he got shot because he was
too conservative, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
It is just a great reminder, as you said, though,
for parents to keep an eye on what their kids
are doing online, because some of the conversations in the
rooms in discord and on Reddit channels and stuff are
are above their understanding of what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
But that's where reason comes in. There is a massive
difference between good sound reasoning and reasons that sound good,
and people don't know the difference anymore because we're emotive.
We're emotive, and we do not think through things anymore.
It's just an emotional, ejaculatory, knee jerk reaction to things.
(18:34):
That's not what that means. Cono, idiot, these.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Are very colorful.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
We bought our word of the Day dictionary out today,
for sure, he laughs at dictionary.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Great.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
All right, So America, are you a proud American? Cono
the proudest? Yeah? What about you, Heather Brooker? You a
proud American? Turn on that mic there, it's the one,
and I'm proud to be American. Well, at least I
know I'm a proud American.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I have no shame. Are we perfect? No?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
But man, I believe in the Great experiment ex experiment.
I say it weird, but I believe in it. I
think we are a fantastic country, warts and all. And
I have never been ashamed of America. Am I ashamed
(19:26):
of certain things, of course, you know, just like a
person of faith. I'm ashamed of some of the history
of Christianity and the Crusades, the Inquisition, things like that.
But I'm a proud American and I've traveled a lot
of places in this beautiful world of ours, and I've
never had a problem telling anybody that I was an American.
(19:49):
It is funny, though, when my wife and I go
because she's a happy like me, latina on her dad's
side and a white young mom side just like I am,
and my wife can look like she's from anywhere.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
They never know.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
When we were in India, we went to India on
our honeymoon, and the people wanted to take pictures with
her and I couldn't tell if it was because of
her curly hair or I mean, she's a pretty lady.
I want to take pictures with her, But there was
something about her that made people want to take pictures
with her as the weirdest thing. And you always know
(20:30):
what people think you are when you go to a
different country because the little kids that are trying to
get you to buy stuff speak multiple languages on purpose
so that they can sell you whatever. So it's depending
on what they start with.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
It.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Lets you know what you look like in that country
to them, and it's never English. With us, we never
get English.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
First.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
You don't look like you speak English. I mean that
in the nicest way.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
No, I'll take it. Yeah, I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Thank you, grassy ass, pour your nice words. But apparently
Canadians are livid about flag jacking. You know what flagjacking is. No,
that's when you pretend to be Canadian instead of American
because you don't want you don't want the heat. So
(21:27):
there was this lady with her bow and they were
in Canadia, and they were at a bar in Canadia
and there was you know, the two teams playing and
the Americans scored, and she went whoo USA. Everybody looked
(21:51):
at her. They're mad, they hate us, and you know Canadians,
they do not hate It's illegal except Ryan Reynolds. I
think he's probably not a good person.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
What's changed? Why do they hate us? Now? We used to.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Be because Trump? So they they brought they broad brush us.
And there she was talking about flagging down a taxi
during that trip, and a local driver this took them
for Canadians, and she corrected him and he just offered
a Kurt, okay, have a good day and drove off.
(22:30):
So if you notice a lot of Canadians throw their
flag that little maple leaf all over everything. They do
not want to be mistaken for Americans, so they don't
want Americans flag jacking. I don't want to jack that flag.
I'll tell you that right now. That sounds gross.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
It is a cute flag, though, league.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
It's the most non threat. If I saw an army
coming with that flag, I'd go back to bed. I'm like,
I'll be fine, I'll be fine. They'll pass right by us.
I'm sorry. When I see old glory, I pee myself.
I think, man, those colors don't run.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Am I right?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
American play if you could put if you can put
your flag on maple syrup, Come on, now, that's not threatening.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
We put our flag on guns.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Have we played the team America? World Police song yet.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Oh yeah America he hec darn yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, it does.

Speaker 6 (02:28):
That's oh, sorry, and go ahead. That's from Sinclair Media.

thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
So that is let me.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Break this down for those of you who don't know.
Let's set the story, shall we. Disney ABC is taking
Jimmy Kimmel Night talk show off the air indefinitely. Now,
this is a mid controversy over some comments that he
made about Charlie Kirk, suspected killer.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Now correct me if I'm wrong here, Heather, But.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Everything I saw publicly from Jimmy Kimmel on social media
was that he said that it was an ugly situation.
He didn't in any way mock the murder or assassination
of Charlie Kirk. From what I saw that, he put
(03:39):
heartfelt thoughts out to the family and do.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
You want to play? I have the clip here, do
you want to play? Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Please? Do.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
He hit some new lows over the weekend with the
Magga Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered
Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, And
do everything they can to score political points from. In
between the finger pointing, there was grieving. On Friday, the
White House flew the flags at half staff, which got
some criticism. But on a human level, you can see
(04:09):
how hard the president is taking this.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I can don't own the.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Locking your friend, Charlie Kirk, sir, personally, how are you
holding up for the last day and a half, sir?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
I think very good.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
And by the way, right there, you see all the trucks.
They just started construction of the new ballroom for the
White House, which is something they've been trying to get.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
As you know, for about one hundred and fifty years.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
And it's going to be a beauty. Yes, he's at
the fourth stage of grief construction.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Okay, So I'm sorry, that's a legitimate hit. So I
guess comedy wise, that's a legitimate hit. I know that
it's very tense. I hate the state of late night TV.
I'm a Carson guy. I enjoyed Jay Leno as well.
David Letterman was a huge fan of I love Conan,
(05:00):
and I think late night television is garbage. I think
it has gone these it seems like they've become political
activists that have a late night show. I want to
be entertained. I want to be taken away. Klgon take
me away. I want that, And it doesn't mean you
can't pick fun of the president. I think that's legitimate.
(05:22):
So I hate that and I want that out there
in the front. However, I do not agree that Jimmy
Kimmel should have been fired or his show canceled indefinitely.
I don't for what was said. I hated when Gina
Carano got taken off of the Mandalorian as Carradoon. I
(05:43):
enjoyed the character. I enjoyed her in it. I don't
agree with her politics across the board, but I think
she's a neat lady. I think she really cares, and
I think she was absolutely right to fight back and
she won. So Originally, when I heard this, my first thought, well,
it was Disney ABC, and I said, of course they did.
(06:05):
They have to because they did it to Gina, and
they have to stay consistent because it bit him in
the ass. Pedro Pascal had said something, who was the star,
had said something about uh It ties to Nazi Germany,
and he didn't get punished. There are others that had
(06:27):
that from the Disney. Uh, you know from Marvel Mark
what's his name, Ruffalo? Ruffalo, who's always shooting his mouth
off is a flaming liberal to the degree as well.
I can't I'm done with polars. Do you know why
we don't live at the North and South poles? They
are basically uninhabitable and and that's where I think politic
(06:51):
politics has gone to the most un inhabitable places on
the polar opposites. And I can't stand that we don't
think anymore. People are emotional since the nineties. You trace
it back, you go back to the nineties, schools stopped
teaching the basics and started focusing on emotions. It's really weird,
(07:13):
but you can see it in the curriculum, and we
don't teach reason anymore. Intellect is not based on memorization.
I can't stand that memorization is the lowest form of learning.
That's like jeopardy knowledge. It's not worth much problem solving.
(07:36):
Reason is intellect. That's why you can't get intellect in
a school. Doesn't mean you're intelligent because you have your degrees.
It means you're educated. There're two different things. So we've
gotten to this place where we.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Don't. We don't reason anymore.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
And I would love sometimes to mac Jimmy Kimmel in
the face for some of the things he says. It
just is so smug and left wingy and I can't
stand it. But I feel the same way about right
wingy smug stuff that I just go shut up, bring
some reason. And again, I don't like the state of
late night TV. It's boring, it's preachy, it's not fun
(08:23):
or creative.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
You don't like the games that Fallon plays, some of.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Them I do.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Actually, some of the stuff Fallon does I think is
smart and playful, and I think out of all of them,
I think he tries. And when it comes to Stephen Colbert,
I felt like he was defined that way based on
his previous show where he played like a Republican foe Republican.
So I give him he's allowed to play in that sandbox.
(08:50):
To me, yeah, because he kind of set it up
as it's like The Daily Show or something.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Where yeah, you set it up that way, I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I know what I'm getting into, But don't take Carson's
seat and make it a political platform, because that's not
what I want in that seat.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I feel like fallon though, is like the least political.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I agree, I agree, I absolutely agree, But I still
don't think that I think that he gets nailed for
stuff that he does. You know had recently Greg gut Failed.
Guttfeld from who once tried to make me fight. Uh
there's a guy who played Jesus in Passion of the Christ.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Oh yes, yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
So we were at a party and Guttfeld was drunk
and he kept trying to get me to fight the Visil.
He said, I want to see too, Jesus is fight.
He is the funniest guy. He is genuinely a super
smart and funny guy. But he wanted me to fight
fight Jim Cavisel at a party anyway, So my money's
(09:56):
on Savedra. Oh yeah, yeah, Diesel, He's take him down.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
So that's where I land on this, and I think
that it is incredibly dangerous, especially with a comedian. I
think that was a legitimate jab at Trump. He blew
off the question, and I think that was a completely
Now I disagree with the whole You know that he
that the kid was Maga.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
He's obviously not.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
He It seems he was in a relationship with a
guy transitioning and that although his parents seemed deep in
the MAGA system, it seems like he had other thoughts
and that he, you know, started going down this path.
But ultimately, I said it before, I don't care if
he killed Kirk because Charlie Kirk because he thought he
(10:46):
was too conservative, or that he killed him because he
thought he wasn't conservative enough. He killed someone for their
views and their speech, which is protected. And so I
don't think this is even if you're a MAGA hat,
I don't think this is a place to celebrate. Yes,
(11:06):
have I wanted to smack Himmel on occasion, Yeah, I
get it, But I don't think the show deserves to
be canceled based on what he said. His public statements
seemed to be genuine towards the family and the ugliness
of the assassination. And this was a setup for a joke.
(11:27):
Was he wrong Yeah about the MAGA situation. Absolutely, But
it is what President Trump said horrific.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah, he blew off.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
How you feeling after you know, your supposed buddy was assassinated,
shot in the neck?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I'm feeling pretty good. Look what I'm doing here, I mean,
that's weird. That's weird.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Neil Sevadra in the Morning Crew here this week and
next week. So the alleged assassin, which I hate saying
because it just I mean, it's the guy right for
all intentsive purposes, I.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Still have to say alleged that I know you do,
but do I we.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Do, because in America you are innocent until proven guilty.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
And where yeah, America, Well no, in South America, you're
guilty until proven innocent. In there America, the middle part
of the continent, America. Okay, Okay, I guess, so we
have to say alleged, Okay, alleged basically admitted to it.
But anyways, So the transgender roommate that he was living
(12:38):
with and was apparently his lover from the texts that
we saw so far, not the not the maga hat
that Jimmy Kimmel talked about, but uh, I guess he
was a bit of a handful. He was previously kicked
(12:59):
out of his parent's house over all kinds of issues
like substance abuse, gender identity. I don't know why you'd
kick somebody out of your house for gender identity, but
especially your your son or daughter. And then persistent video
game addiction, which is a scary thing as a dad
(13:23):
with a as a boy dad that you know, you
you got to watch that stuff because it is addicting.
I've never gone down the video game even though I
was raised in the eighties. I went to Casey's, went
to Casey's all the time, played video games in the
Dark Space Invaders Asteroids.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
Man, that was a Nintendo gal. I was all about Mario.
Give me any Mario game even to this day, and
I'll be.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Like, you're rich, I'll play I know right who, Yeah,
you played at home all the time.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Wow, you were rich.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
We gotta we got a Tari when everybody would when
everybody got Nintendo's like we had like the hand me downs.
We're playing Pong and everybody's you know, like eight bit,
like full on sixteen bit, not even.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Before my time. I'm very youthful. I'm very young.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yes, oh, you wouldn't understand that. No, you're like, what
you didn't have three D graphics? Uh so, yeah, they're fighting,
we're finding stuff. Lance Twigs is the gentleman's Wait has
he transitioned?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
I think so? I think.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I really I'm not looking to hurt people's feelings with
stupid stuff. Not that I'm a fan of having one
hundred and eight different pronouns, but I certainly want to
be respectful. But if it says lance twigs, I'm going
to go with with mail, I would yeah, not been
(15:02):
charged with a crime. Moved in to a town home
there in Saint George, Utah, which is gorgeous, by the way,
beautiful place out there. He was living with his grandparents
for a while, father kicked him out, says a relative.
And the twenty two year old is also in the
process of transitioning from male to female. So he was
(15:28):
kicked out of his parents' home at the age of eighteen.
And that's basically what we're learning about this guy and
his transitioning might have been and their love affair that
it appears to be might be part of the motive.
(15:51):
Because even the parents of Tyler Tyler Robinson Robinson, who's
accused of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, even his parents
said that he was his belief system started skewing heavily left,
(16:15):
and even I guess extreme left. I'd say, if you're
going to pick up a gun and shoot somebody, that's
pretty extreme, and that might have been part of this
love affair and him seeing things differently. He's referred to
as a Reddit kid too. Somebody does deep dive you know.
(16:36):
I know you were talking on this morning on wake
Up Call Heather about discord it in the line. Yeah,
I'm a part of all that stuff. I'm part of Reddit,
but I don't go down those paths. I certainly don't
go down political paths on either one of them. You know.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
There's I've been trying to read more about this sub sect,
this group of people who are claiming that Tyler Robinson
was called a groper.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
So yeah, so there is a frog cartoon you mean
that ties into this, So that's why. And and these
are would be uber conservatives who think that even people
that you might think is a extreme are not conservative,
are not extreme enough.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
So that's that's.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
It's like far far right extreme, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Saying everybody's rhinos basically. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
And it's a really fascinating deep dive into what can
happen when people get too far into the Internet and
subcultures and extremism on Reddit channels, on discord, on four Chan.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
You'll start hearing more of that term. But basically that's
what it is.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Believe. And that's why I said.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Whether he got shot because he wasn't conservative enough because
of that element, or he got shot because he was
too conservative, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
It is just a great reminder, as you said, though,
for parents to keep an eye on what their kids
are doing online, because some of the conversations in the
rooms in discord and on Reddit channels and stuff are
are above their understanding of what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
But that's where reason comes in. There is a massive
difference between good sound reasoning and reasons that sound good,
and people don't know the difference anymore because we're emotive.
We're emotive, and we do not think through things anymore.
It's just an emotional, ejaculatory, knee jerk reaction to things.
(18:34):
That's not what that means. Cono, idiot, these.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Are very colorful.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
We bought our word of the Day dictionary out today,
for sure, he laughs at dictionary.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Great.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
All right, So America, are you a proud American? Cono
the proudest? Yeah? What about you, Heather Brooker? You a
proud American? Turn on that mic there, it's the one,
and I'm proud to be American. Well, at least I
know I'm a proud American.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I have no shame. Are we perfect? No?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
But man, I believe in the Great experiment ex experiment.
I say it weird, but I believe in it. I
think we are a fantastic country, warts and all. And
I have never been ashamed of America. Am I ashamed
(19:26):
of certain things, of course, you know, just like a
person of faith. I'm ashamed of some of the history
of Christianity and the Crusades, the Inquisition, things like that.
But I'm a proud American and I've traveled a lot
of places in this beautiful world of ours, and I've
never had a problem telling anybody that I was an American.
(19:49):
It is funny, though, when my wife and I go
because she's a happy like me, latina on her dad's
side and a white young mom side just like I am,
and my wife can look like she's from anywhere.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
They never know.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
When we were in India, we went to India on
our honeymoon, and the people wanted to take pictures with
her and I couldn't tell if it was because of
her curly hair or I mean, she's a pretty lady.
I want to take pictures with her, But there was
something about her that made people want to take pictures
with her as the weirdest thing. And you always know
(20:30):
what people think you are when you go to a
different country because the little kids that are trying to
get you to buy stuff speak multiple languages on purpose
so that they can sell you whatever. So it's depending
on what they start with.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
It.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Lets you know what you look like in that country
to them, and it's never English. With us, we never
get English.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
First.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
You don't look like you speak English. I mean that
in the nicest way.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
No, I'll take it. Yeah, I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Thank you, grassy ass, pour your nice words. But apparently
Canadians are livid about flag jacking. You know what flagjacking is. No,
that's when you pretend to be Canadian instead of American
because you don't want you don't want the heat. So
(21:27):
there was this lady with her bow and they were
in Canadia, and they were at a bar in Canadia
and there was you know, the two teams playing and
the Americans scored, and she went whoo USA. Everybody looked
(21:51):
at her. They're mad, they hate us, and you know Canadians,
they do not hate It's illegal except Ryan Reynolds. I
think he's probably not a good person.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
What's changed? Why do they hate us? Now? We used to.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Be because Trump? So they they brought they broad brush us.
And there she was talking about flagging down a taxi
during that trip, and a local driver this took them
for Canadians, and she corrected him and he just offered
a Kurt, okay, have a good day and drove off.
(22:30):
So if you notice a lot of Canadians throw their
flag that little maple leaf all over everything. They do
not want to be mistaken for Americans, so they don't
want Americans flag jacking. I don't want to jack that flag.
I'll tell you that right now. That sounds gross.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
It is a cute flag, though, league.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
It's the most non threat. If I saw an army
coming with that flag, I'd go back to bed. I'm like,
I'll be fine, I'll be fine. They'll pass right by us.
I'm sorry. When I see old glory, I pee myself.
I think, man, those colors don't run.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Am I right?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
American play if you could put if you can put
your flag on maple syrup, Come on, now, that's not threatening.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
We put our flag on guns.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Have we played the team America? World Police song yet.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Oh yeah America he hec darn yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, it does.
