Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Mandy Connall Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
No, it's Mandy connellyn on ninety one m god Way.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
I want to Sady cam Nicety, Andy Connell, Keith sad
thing as over into the Mandy verse.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. It's a very special edition of the
Mandy Connell Show. Ross was gathering up his business as
he does at the end of his program, and I said, Ross,
why not stick around because we need to talk about
regular season NFL games in Australia, which is absurd.

Speaker 5 (00:46):
I bet, I bet Jeremy Crosshaw would be happy though
it was Jeremy Crosshaw, Mandy.

Speaker 6 (00:51):
Connell, what new punter of the Denver Oh my.

Speaker 7 (00:53):
Bad, yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Can you imagine being able to play in front of
his own family at home, well close enough to home.

Speaker 6 (01:00):
Same continent, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
Well he's from I mean, I assume the game would
be in or near Sydney, but it doesn't happen.

Speaker 6 (01:06):
It probably is, and he's it, says Melbourne, does it? Really?
It does?

Speaker 5 (01:10):
Okay, So Crosshaw is from a suburb that is near Sydney.
Cross Shaw is from what you might think of like
Morrison or or or Evergreen right of Sydney in the
foothills in the mountains. Melbourne is an awesome city, very
very European feel as compared to Sydney.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
So the classic convicts got sent to Melbourn. Yeah, okay,
So the reason I asked Ross to stay if you
don't listen to the Roskamensky Store show. First of all,
what's wrong with you right? Second of all, Ross is
married to an Australian dame, true, a dame he courted
from far far away in Chicago, Illinois, before technology made
it kind of easy to have that kind of long distance.

(01:50):
Did you have to like do the long distance phone
call where you had to say something and then it
was like a three second pause and then she'd say
something back.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
It was very early internet days. I helped her get
an email account. My email at that time was still
on AOL as they all were, all the best, yeah were,
and and so we kept in touch that way, and
then I and then I moved there, chasing her.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
It's successfully chasing her and she's still here.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
But still.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
The thing that relates to what you're talking about is
when I told her I wanted to date her, and
nobody else. I said, we'll never be apart for more
than a month while we're dating, and either I paid
for her to come to me or I flew there.
So I was a one hundred thousand mile you know, was
still called one K flyer on United, never traveling on
business only for dating. I was a one K flyer

(02:37):
on United because of my dating. So I've done this
trip a lot that you're concerned about.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
And after going to Japan, which has a fourteen hour
time difference Korea, in Japan, I have a fourteen hour
time difference, I am here to tell you that jetlag
just about did me in. It was the worst jet lag,
the longest lasting jet lag that I've had ever. And
I find as I get older, the jet lag it
gets me worse. It's just like another thing about aging

(03:02):
that sucks. But I thought to myself when I saw
that the NFL was going to do games in Australia,
I was like, holy crap, what time zones?

Speaker 6 (03:09):
How many time zones away are they? Are?

Speaker 4 (03:11):
They like fourteen as well? Fourteen fifteen.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
I think it's I mean, I think it's seventeen. I
think is Sydney.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
I think is seventeen because I think about it as
seven hours.

Speaker 6 (03:22):
Earlier, but the next day, right, so I think that
would be seventeen.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
And then also their daylight savings time is a little
bit different from hours when they have it and when
they don't have it and so on.

Speaker 6 (03:32):
But I don't know.

Speaker 5 (03:32):
You even check the local time in Sydney, I'm gonna
guess it's five am.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Well, I went to Melbourne. Since they're going to be
playing it, they are seventeen hours ahead of dead hours,
so they're only eight hours off.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
So our schedule, yeah, seven hours, but it's brutal.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
It's brutal, but it's eight Oh, you're right? What am
I saying? Seven hours? Correct?

Speaker 5 (03:51):
When you were having your jet lag struggles with the
Japan trip, was it more when you got there or
more when you got home?

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Part of it is when you're on vacation, because like
we were trying to do so much, we had tours
that we were you know, we had a lot of
stuff that we were doing. It kind of forced us
into that routine. Whereas coming back here, for whatever reason,
it was a lot harder coming back than it was
going over there. Back to this and so I'm just
this just sounds like a bad idea to me.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
You do have to wonder for these teams that are
going to travel there, how are they going to do
it if they don't.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
Have the next week off. That's just a patently unfair advantage.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Or the right before, depending on either way, you need
help the one on.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
The way back week on the way back as well.
And I appreciate what the NFL is trying to do, right,
I get it one hundred percent.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
I they want.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
To grow the game. It's why we have Bad Bundy
playing at the halftime show. Okay, so we're going after
new demographics, but at some point it feels like that
becomes a safety concern. You know, when you got guys
that are coming back and you can't sleep and you
haven't slept in five days, and you play a very violent,
physical game. This just seems like it would be interesting
to watch to see if there's any sort of uptick

(05:02):
in injuries after some of these long long you know,
going to Germany and Ireland and stuff like that, which
isn't that far from the East coast, but West coast teams,
that's a hall.

Speaker 6 (05:12):
That's a hall. I think.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
I mean, you and I were talking before your show started.
I think they have to plan the.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
Australia game right before the bye week.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
That's the only if it were me, if I were
an NFL owner, I would be like, no thank you, Yeah,
no thank you at all, No thank you.

Speaker 6 (05:27):
I'll pass on that one.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Ross. Can I do my blog and then I want
to talk about a couple of other things right here?

Thanks Nancy. I didn't realize it was that long until
I was well in I like, either, oh god, what
what is Okay? What we're talking about is we're about
to have our cess potential, which I am super excited
about because I'm old enough to remember the Bison tent only.

Speaker 8 (07:28):
It was super funny. I'll practiced its.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
Potentny, I know you know what it is.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
I got. I'm streetening my teeth using this, using this
a liner system, so all across.

Speaker 7 (07:40):
My bottle lit down here, ross and over here.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
There's these little pegs that hold the trays in that
I wear at night. But they just make me lisp.
Now because this, my lips don't quite at every day

Speaker 6 (08:00):
The coin, the coin, so the sentential next.

Year centennial, centennial, saying it wrong this entire time.

Speaker 6 (08:10):

Rashie can make a decision like Nancy.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
That's Nancy.

Speaker 7 (08:26):
That was her trying to.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Deliver the pithy comment that someone on her staff wrote
about the TikTok sale uh huh, tick tech toe a winner.

Speaker 6 (08:35):
That's Nancy. Anyway, you should see the awesome.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
There's two sound bites that will always bring me great joy,
and one of them shouldn't. Okay, Nancy, of course, the
first one brings me great joy. What is the second one, Anthony, No,
that's not it.

Speaker 6 (08:51):
It's a third one. It's the third one, Okay, it's this,
and the fourth one.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
The passage of time.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
Yeah, it's it's that. And because that that was just
literally a thing you said. We didn't edit that ross.
We just cut it out of a longer piece of audio. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
Yeah, I understand why it brings you joy.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
I don't know why. It just makes me laugh. On
the coin, anyway, this.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Is not.

Speaker 6 (09:22):
Usually the squirrel guys.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah, no, so Trump, the Trump administration, the Treasury Department
has released this, this commemorative one dollar coin. Right you guys,
if we if we lived in the US s R,
they would not have done anything. Like Stalin would have
been like, I think it's too much, you know, just

(09:44):
like Trump's on both sides. I don't know that.

Speaker 6 (09:47):
They released it. I think talking about it on both sides.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
Of this coin, he's like and one side it actually
says fight fight from his assassination attempt. What are we doing? No, No,
I just want a firm No, that is not a
thing we're doing.

Speaker 8 (10:03):
Maybe they're just trolling. Everybody gotta be I mean, and
you're like, okay, now that's probably real, all right.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
Anyway, the thing I.

Speaker 6 (10:14):
Wanted to talk to you about two things. Okay.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
Number one, we were both early adopters of the free
press and early fans of Barry Weiss. And Barry Weiss
is a woman who was writing for The New York
Times and became keenly aware of the sort of editorial
institutional bias at the Times when stories she wanted to
write specifically about Israel and other subjects that are near

(10:36):
and dear to her heart were shut down, and so
she left and started an independent news site.

Speaker 6 (10:41):
At first it was her and.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Nobody else, and then her and her wife Nelly writing
the snarky Friday column, and now it has grown into
a juggernaut in a very short period of time.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
Yeah, a million and a half subscribers.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
Yeah, which doesn't sound like a lot, but right now
in the media landscape, that's a ton of eyeballs. That
is a ton of people that subscribe to this and
she just recently, like last week, sold that property to Paramount.
And today, officially it has been announced that Barry Weiss
is the new editor in chief at CBS News. And

(11:16):
I don't know if you did you see the letter
she sent. Yes, so in this letter, and I'm not
going to read the whole thing because the first part's
like buttering up, you know, like, hey, guys, I love CBS.
What But this is what she said her journalistic values
are and that she will champion them alongside, she says,
the folks who currently work at CBS. Number one journalism

(11:38):
that reports on the world as it actually is. Number
two journalism that is fair, fearless, and factual. Number three
journalism that respects our audience enough to tell the truth
plainly wherever it leads. Number four journalism that makes a
sense of a noisy, confusing world. Number five journalism that
explains things clearly without pretension or jargon. Journalism that holds

(12:01):
both American political parties to equal scrutiny. Number seven journalism
that embraces a wide spectrum of views and voices so
that the audience can contend with the best arguments on
all sides of a debate. Number eight journalism that rushes
toward the most interesting and important stories, regardless of their unpopularity.

(12:22):
Number nine journalism that uses all of the tools of
the digital era. And number ten journalism that understands that
the best way to serve America is to endeavor to
present the public with the facts first and foremost. Wells,
I got a thrill down my spine. So when I
read this.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
Yeah, I'll say two things.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
First, just going back one second, the million and a
half subscribers, just to get folks a sense of things, right,
you know how big the Washington Post is.

Speaker 6 (12:46):
What an institution the Washington Post is.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
So the Free Press, which hasn't been around very long,
has sixty percent as many subscribers digital subscribers as the.

Speaker 6 (12:54):
Washington Post, which is ormous, an enormous number. Yeah, it's
really massive the thing.

Speaker 5 (12:59):
So I get that same kind of thrill that you
get reading that. But what really strikes me about all
that is that I believe that Barry Weiss means it, yeah,
and is really really going to implement it.

Speaker 6 (13:14):
We have heard so.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Much, you know, we'll just spew out some good talking
points about how we're real journalists and.

Speaker 6 (13:21):
Then they don't do it.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
How many times have we heard this at CNN with
every revamp and then they don't.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Chris licked out when Chris came into CNN. And this
is such inside baseball for people who just watch media
and you don't really kind of consume the environment around media,
But you should consume the media around the environment around media,
because that is what everything in media is, right. All
the stuff Ross and I are talking about are the
decision makers of what you see or what you don't

(13:47):
see on your nightly newscast. And for Barry Wise, who
I absolutely believe she has seen both sides of the
coin on this. She has seen what group think and
ideological lock looks like the New York Times, and then
she had the opportunity to create the Free Press, where
for the most part, I agree with you know the

(14:08):
slant if you will, if they're reporting a lot. But
there are authors on the Free Press that challenge me,
and it's not that I hate them, but they challenge me,
and it's it's refreshing.

Speaker 5 (14:17):
And there are also authors on the Free Press who
challenge other authors.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
On the free Press, which is so much fun to read.
And I think. I said this a few hours ago
on my show.

Speaker 5 (14:28):
I I hope she's massively successful.

Speaker 6 (14:32):
And the guy who is running Paramount.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
Ellison, I guess he's probably Larry Ellison's kid. I think
I believe it he is. He when he announced it,
the thing that his focus was on was trust, and
I think that's exactly the right focus.

Speaker 6 (14:46):
Nobody trusts media anymore.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
And I would love to see one of these old
lion legacy broadcast networks become a place that you and
I will say, you know what, I trust them pretty well.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
Correct.

Speaker 5 (14:59):
I haven't said that about any of those old line
places in at least years.

Speaker 9 (15:04):
You know.

Speaker 6 (15:05):
And here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
If CBS makes it work, Okay, if CBS puts this
product together and they.

Speaker 6 (15:10):
Do real journalism like they did back in the day, and.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
They and they start to get eyeballs and people start
to watch, that changes the tone and tenor of everything.
Sure it changes the other networks because they have no
choice in that. They must respond, right if they're shedding viewers.
And Network News has been really underperforming for a very
long time. They've seen a pretty good erosion of their

(15:34):
of their fan base. Now they're sort of fighting over
scraps if you will, to a certain extent. But if
they could regain some of that putting at CBS and
the other networks would be forced to pay attention. My
question is did they give her the power that she needs,
meaning the power to fire the people that will not
get on board? And that's really what it comes down to,

(15:57):
because it's not everybody's like, oh, can she hire who
she wants? No, can she fire someone who will not
get on board with a new direction, Because it only
takes a few rabble rousers to hold everybody else back.
So you have to have the ability to say you
can go and have it backed up.

Speaker 5 (16:14):
Definitely the right question. I have no idea what the
answer is. I haven't seen that addressed in any of
the articles. You'd have to think that Barry Weiss knows
what's going on enough that she would or should have
made that a condition, or at least tried to make
it a condition.

Speaker 6 (16:29):
I mean maybe maybe mister.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
Ellison would would have said, well, you can recommend and
all aside.

Speaker 6 (16:34):
I don't know, but I meant that is.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
As important as being able to hire her you want. Now,
what I'm hoping is is that the bad apples will
go ahead and leave, because if you see the writing
on the wall and you think that the company is
behind the new writing, and you feel like you know
you're not going to be able to rabble rouse yourself
into a more comfortable position at the company, then why
not leave now on your own term?

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Ways to do that like when when Leland Vodder got
a little bit critical of the Trump administration and Trump
spokespeople claiming that they won the twenty twenty election, he
got kind of shuffled out of Fox News by and
their initial way to do it was just rescheduling.

Speaker 6 (17:15):
Him not on when he wants to be on anymore, right,
and then.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
At some point he's like, I gotta I gotta get go.
It's the soft fireing one other quick thing I want
to say on this so and relating to this Leland
Vodter thing.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
So he made some comments.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
He was he was pretty aggressive in an interview with
a Trump spokesperson who was claiming that Trump won the
twenty twenty election, and an email was sent about him
saying he needs to respect the audience, and what they
meant was we have a conservative audience and they believe this,
and what.

Speaker 6 (17:48):
They meant by respecting the audience.

Speaker 5 (17:50):
The Fox management was don't challenge the audience, right, But
I don't think that's what respecting the audience is.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
You know what that is a craven to get viewership.
There's no other way. Respecting the audience isn't spoon feeding
them what they believe. I mean, maybe it is to
some people, it's not to me, right, I mean, I
know on the radio, I've put myself on the wrong
side of an issue with my audience several times, and

(18:17):
it's wildly unpleasant. Right, It's just unpleasant. But it doesn't
mean I'm not going to do it.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
You know, it doesn't mean you don't respect them, right.
And in fact, the fact that you or I is
willing to occasionally take a position that we know the
audience won't like, I think is a real sign of
respect for the audience. Like we can still be friends, right,
And I hope that Barry Weiss thinks of respecting the
audience the way you and I do and not.

Speaker 6 (18:40):
The way that Fox News management did.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
One thing I'd like to see and I'll be doing this.
I tried it with CNN when Chris took over, and
there was little like little glimmers of hope, you know,
but then they were all just smashed into garbage.

Speaker 6 (18:54):
And so I am going to be watching.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
I'm going to give Barry Weiss probably a couple months,
and then I'm going to tune in and I'm gonna
see what's up. Because CBS Sunday Morning, which long has
been one of my I've been watching it since I
was twenty years ago, back in and how surprising was
that to find out that guy had a whole second
family when he died.

Speaker 6 (19:11):
Did you know that?

Speaker 4 (19:12):
Oh yeah, whole second family anyway.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
The most in America.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, people were bowtyes. Oh well that was Charles Osgod,
but I mean Charles Crawl anyway.

Speaker 9 (19:21):
Huh.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
I relentlessly tweeted at CBS Sunday Morning because there's no
way to email anybody, huh, And I was like, stop
with the politics. Come to find out, they hired a
producer from NBC News who was their political producer, and
he ruined CBS Sunday Morning for a very long time.
It appears to be back now.

Speaker 5 (19:41):
It'll also be interesting to see if there's any noticeable
change to sixty minutes, which is.

Speaker 6 (19:45):
A huge show for them.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yes, I mean you know, sixty minutes has done a
better job I think, aside from the blatant Dan rather
attempts to torpedo George W.

Speaker 6 (19:55):
Bush.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
Yeah, they still remained a respectable news organization as long
as their cover non.

Speaker 6 (20:00):
Political things right.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
It'll also be interesting what's the Sunday Morning Gal's name
on Face Nations That Margaret Brennan, Margaret Brennan, She's gotta go,
She's gotta go. That I think will be an interesting
test for Barry Weiss.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
We shall Can you hang around one more segment? We
talked about Hamas and Israel and all that deal. Because
Ross and I are you lovers. That's it, That's what
we are. Just ask that guy on the text line. Anyway,
I was feeling lazy and uh one reason somebody well,
I ruin his show. I figure if we get in
an hour with you right now, then that's worth like
at twenty shows of me ruining the last five minutes

(20:35):
of yours. So there you go. I got this. Texas
is a bit of an emergency. Let me go ahead
and read this, Hi, Andy, I heard cars for kids
on my way to love Field in Dallas this morning.
On both ninety five nine, the ranch and eight twenty
WBAP just got into my truck at DIA and it
was the first thing I just heard. Well played that commercial.

(20:56):
It's like an antibiotic resistant rash. It's everywhere.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
It's not going away. It's the Mersa of commercials.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Anyway, on that note, we're gonna move on to something simple.

Speaker 6 (21:11):
We're talking about Hamas.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
So over the weekend there was some movement on a
peace agreement between Israel and AMAS that starts with all
of the hostages must be released, but it also has
some other not so crazy things that must happen. Hamas
has to leave any leadership in the Gaza strip. They

(21:33):
have to be completely disarmed in the Gaza strip. And
Ross and I were talking about this before the show,
and like it or not, guys, the reality is we
must control the population, the Palestinian population that includes Hamas.
We must control Hamas, and the only way to control
someone is to disarm them. It has to happen.

Speaker 5 (21:54):
These aren't normal people with guns, right, These are not
people who care about self defense. These are not people
who you know, have any concept of anything even vaguely
like a second Amendment. This is just about killing everybody
who doesn't agree with them, even their own, you know,
Palestinian people. And then of course their number one goal
kill every Jew in every Israeli that they that they
can find, and they do have to be disharmed, but
of course that's going to be one.

Speaker 6 (22:14):
Of the biggest hurdles of that. That is going to
be a huge sticking point.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
And so my daughter, who's an APUs government this semester,
she's taken that. So she sends me a text, what's
going on with Israel and Amas, and like, Okay, there's
talk of the peace deal, but I'll believe it when
I see it. I don't trust Amos to do anything
that they've said they've done. But I've got a really
interesting article on the blog today from the Free Press,
and the headline is how Trump brought a moss to

(22:39):
the table. And you know, for all of the things
that I don't like about Donald Trump, when you look
at how he views foreign policy, it is so completely
different than the same foreign policy we have had since
World War Two, which is this sort of old democratic
order that's going to kind of be the protectorate of
our friends and me of all of our shared enemies, right,

(23:02):
And Donald Trump is like that model sucks? What's in
it for us? And I never realized how much I
wanted someone to ask what's in it for us? Until
he did? And then I was like, Yeah, what is
in it for us? Because it feels like all we've
done is give and spend and give and spend for what.

Speaker 5 (23:22):
Well, I don't want, I don't know that we want
to get in that whole huge conversation today.

Speaker 6 (23:25):
There is a lot in it for us. We got
twenty four minutes left.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
There's a lot in it for us. But that doesn't
mean that we should be shouldering as much of the
cost as we have.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
Correct But there's a lot in it for the entire
world that's been very happy to let us fit the bill.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
Yeah, and we do a lot of things like we've
been the primary force keeping sea lanes open, right we
you know, taking out pirates and making sure all this
world trade can happen, which is directly in indirectly good
for us.

Speaker 6 (23:50):
But the big question that Trump has talked about.

Speaker 5 (23:53):
For a long long time is why are we spending
so much Europe?

Speaker 6 (23:56):
You need to spend more. It's also been interesting.

Speaker 5 (23:58):
Actually with the Russia Ukraine thing that Trump's been a
lot more positive about NATO recently.

Speaker 6 (24:03):
Yep, you know, he's sort of changed a little bit
on that.

Speaker 5 (24:05):
I'm not sure why that's not our main topic, but but.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
I think that's all part of the bigger strategy. Trump
came in hot at NATO in his first administration and
guess what, ross it freaking works.

Speaker 6 (24:17):
It did work.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
You have multiple NATO nations that were like, holy crap,
this guy is kind of crazy, but he's also kind
of right, so we need to up our spending. He
comes in hot this time, and guess what happens for
the rest of the laggards. They're like, oh, oh crap,
we forgot. We're taking care of that.

Speaker 5 (24:31):
Now, right, And now they have the extra incentive. We're
seeing Russia attack Ukraine, so they got a war right
near him, and now, oh, if the US isn't going
to be there, we better step up exactly.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
And now that they are finally doing what they've committed to,
do you see Trump come in.

Speaker 6 (24:44):
And go my partner's my friend, right, yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
Because they're living up to their side of the bargain.
And you know it's just so unusual is that it's
kind of shocking. But when you look at it in
the grand scheme of things. You're like, it really makes sense.
It's a very capitalist business way, you win, we win
kind of thing. And I don't think that's what diplomacy
has been forever. I don't think it's been that, you know,

(25:08):
since we were paying tributes to other kings so they
wouldn't kill us.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
Well, you know the old saying, you know, if the
only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like
a nail, right, And I think that's the situation with
much of the foreign policy establishment. They're all about talking, right,
and they they've always they've talked the same way since
I studied. I majored in foreign policy right right in
the eighties, and nothing has changed until Donald Trump.

Speaker 6 (25:32):
And I do think it's a really welcome and interesting change.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
Well, and it's turned in terms of the Palestinian conflict.
It's significant because instead of going at it with let's
drag out whatever guy from the Palestinians that's going to
say no to whatever we present, Donald Trump said, Hey,
Turkey cutter, Hey, let's get you guys on board. Let's
get you guys involved here, and then once we hammer

(25:56):
it out, you guys can lean on Hamas, which is
something that has never happened before. No American president has
tried to triangulate basically a situation where you would be
left if you are Hamas, you are essentially going to
be left with two allies Yemen and Iran and Russia.
But Russia's busy right now, right like Russia can't be
bothered right now. They're busy with their own stuff. And

(26:19):
he's now got the Abraham Accords have expanded where more
nations is normalized relations with Israel. It's really very genius
And why didn't anybody think of this before?

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Part of what he's done this is going to be
somewhat of a simplication, but the mindset used to be,
especially among Arab countries, that peace between Israel and the
Arab countries was contingent upon the creation of a Palestinian nation, right,
So a Palestinian nation first.

Speaker 6 (26:47):
And then peace. And Trump has basically reversed that, yep.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
And Trump has said, no, you want there to be
a Palestinian state, we need to have better relations with Israel.
You countries need to have better relations with Israel first,
and then we can do that.

Speaker 6 (27:01):
And that's I think he's.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
And that's very smart and I think that's what he's
continuing here, because he's not guaranteeing them.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
A Palestinian state. Now, he's saying, you know.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
We got to one step at a time, and we
got to get Hamas out and all that, and then
and then we can talk about it later. But in
the meantime he's going to want to do the Abraham
Accords with Saudi Arabia and whatever else.

Speaker 6 (27:22):
This text or asked what is Hamas?

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Is it a people, a region, a form of government,
a state. Hamas is a terror organization that has taken
over control of the Gaza Strip.

Speaker 6 (27:32):
They did so at first.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
In two thousand and seven, rising to the top of
the political parties, but then they have run it like
North Korea. It is a completely oppressive situation. Hamas kills
Palestinians on a regular basis that disagree with them, and
as a terror organization that has also taken control. They're
a little bit of everything. They are, the politics they are.
But the Palestinian people voted for it initially. They haven't

(27:55):
had the opportunity to vote for it again.

Speaker 6 (27:57):
At the risk of violating Godwin's Law.

Speaker 5 (27:59):
The easy way to think about Hamas is being the
Nazi Party in Germany in the nineteen thirties, and there
are a lot of situations, there are a lot of
similarities between them, and not just how they want to
kill every Jewel, but also they won an election. It
was one man, one vote, one time. There was never
another election, and they maintained their murderous ideology the whole time.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
And it's so bad. And this is not reported here,
but I know exactly. I got it on good authority
and I know it to be true. Israel, over the
last few months, trying to get aid to the actual
Palestinian people, has been dropping leaflets letting the Palestinians know
that if they are stopped to or from getting aid
by a quote Hamas checkpoint, they can just let Israel

(28:45):
know and Israel will blow it up for them.

Speaker 6 (28:47):
I mean, that's a caring people.

Speaker 5 (28:50):
Israel does so much that they don't give credit for
to try to protect Palestinian civilians.

Speaker 6 (28:55):
And you know, let me. I don't know if you
heard me talk about this on my show, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (28:59):
My my older kid who you know is in Seattle
now at a community college and taking two math classes
and a science class and something else that has nothing
to do with history or politics or religion.

Speaker 6 (29:12):
One of them is sort of self study. So basically
three professors.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
I guess all three teachers have told the class that
Israel is committing genocide. We're talking about two math classes
and a science class. It's not history, not world affairs.
It's three out of three. And it's pretty shocking how
much anti Semitism is out there and how much misinformation
is out there. And I'm actually a little bit afraid

(29:40):
when sort of the people coming up right now being
brain damaged like this are going to be the ones
in charge in a little while.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (29:48):
And I think it's something significant.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
But this is exactly why Israel will continue to do
what they think is in their best interests. They have
realized once again that the rest of the world will
hang them out to dry. We'll be right back with
my friend Roskeminski after this. I wanted to do did
you talk about the Saudi Arabian Festival comedy festival a
little bit? So. On the one hand, I never wouldgrudge
somebody getting a big paycheck right like, straight up, but

(30:10):
there have been a couple of different times when I've
either like perhaps the opportunity to go to Saudi Arabia
was in the horizon, and I just said, no, I'm
not going to a country where they treat women like
second class citizens. I'm not doing it. I'm not giving
them my money. It's why when they opened up Cuba,
I was like, there's no way I'm going to Cuba
because the people that are suffering there are not getting

(30:32):
the money. Right. So when I saw these comedians going
to Saudi Arabia, my first thought is how many of
these fools signed that free speech letter that went around
after Kimmel got knocked off the air, you know, and
how many they all signed the same contract there was
released by another.

Speaker 6 (30:46):
Comedian, Right, you talk bad about Saudi Arabia or the kingdom,
or religion, I mean anything.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
They basically were like, here, let's take off a quarter
of your comedy topics and just shove them off to
this high Yeah.

Speaker 6 (30:58):
And then Dave Chappelle was saying how much free speech
they have over there?

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Okay, wait, I got corrected. I jumped on that. I
jumped on that that quote, and I got corrected by
my maybe Bill Burr, but no Dave Chappelle. They took
a snippet of his set and in it. He says
it's easier to talk about things here than it is
in the United States. Right before that, he had said, now,
if you say anything about Charlie Kirk, you get canceled.

(31:21):
It's easier to talk about stuff here in the Kingdom
than it is in the United States, which is actually
kind of a funny joke when you get Annabiding commentary
at the same time.

Speaker 6 (31:29):
Did you know he's Muslim?

Speaker 4 (31:30):
Dave Chappelle, I had no idea.

Speaker 6 (31:33):
I just learned that this weekend.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
I just watched on CBS Sunday morning yesterday there was
a thing on Kat Stevens or Yusef Islam. And you know,
when he first became a Muslim, he thought playing and
singing music was Haram. And then I guess he ran
out of money and he's touring again. So I don't
know if that's why, but he said, oh no, nothing
that's good for you is harrahm and in Islam.

Speaker 6 (31:54):
I'm like, oh, okay, okay.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
But I still love his music and his story's got
a new book out, that's what he was pimping.

Speaker 10 (32:02):
All right.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
Well, I mean it's that he's one of those I
don't love folk music.

Speaker 6 (32:08):
Yeah, it's so boring, you.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Know, like and I understand, Like, I'm sure Peter, Paul
and Mary were riveting when they came out, but so boring.
But for some reason, I like. I like him all right.

Speaker 6 (32:21):
Maybe those guys weren't even when they came out. I
don't know. I mean they had to then, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
I try to listen to older music and try and
figure out what made that sound stand out when it
came out. Like you hate grunge music, right, but I
I understand where that came from. It was like the
flip side of the coin for the hair bands. Right.
You have all these glam rock hit you know, wild
hair spandex wearing guys, and then there's these guys in

(32:48):
Seattle going no, we're not going to do that. And
that's where grunge was born. So if you look at
it from that perspective. But I'm kind of with you.
The music is not great, yeah, I mean some of
it is. Some of it is really good, but overall
it's sort of a genre in musical history. I don't

(33:08):
think it's gonna be as long live I can live
without it. I think when gen X is dead, grunge
music is dead as well, I'm just saying.

Speaker 6 (33:14):
You and I are gen X.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
We are gen X, and I feel it every day
in my gen X poems. You know, I got trying
not to get sucked into that generational stuff, but god,
it's so accurate.

Speaker 8 (33:25):
But gen X used to be the young people. It
used to be like the boomers and whatever where the
older people. Gen X used to be the young people.

Speaker 5 (33:34):
And now I sort of vaguely feel like we're not
the young people anymore.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
I got an email a couple of weeks ago to
plan my fortieth high.

Speaker 6 (33:46):
School union fortieth zero. How did that happen? I don't know,
I mean, what are you going?

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Of course, my class was awesome. I have so many
mats that I would love to see in person again.
We are all on Facebook together. Wow, and we all
I mean, yeah, it's a super fun group of people.
Lots and lots of very successful people came out of
my class, not just white collar but blue collar as well. Yeah,
and great people. And I can't wait to go back.

(34:16):
And because I obviously don't live there anymore since my
dad died, I haven't been.

Speaker 5 (34:19):
Home at all when I was When I was away
for a few days a couple of weeks ago. It
was with two of my friends from high school, and
and because we all have our birthday around the same time,
so we're celebrating our birthday. Beyond those two guys, I
probably could tell you the names of like four other
people I went to high school with, and I don't
care about seeing any of them.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
Well. As we established during your Leland Vinnert interview, I
loved high school like I loved it.

Speaker 6 (34:46):
It was fantastic. That's good. I'm glad I did.

Speaker 5 (34:49):
This.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
Person said collective soul great music. Come on, Mandy, collective soul.
I hate to break it to you was more pop
than grunge. I'm just gonna say it. Okay, Okay, I'm
giving you an out. Grunge rockers couldn't afford because heroin
is more expensive than hairspray, correct and all that.

Speaker 11 (35:04):
Note.

Speaker 6 (35:04):
Ross, Good to see you, my friend. Thanks, I will
be back. I have no idea what's coming up next.
Keep it right here.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock

Speaker 2 (35:14):
No, it's Mandy Connell manna.

Speaker 10 (35:20):
KA ninety one am God, stay the nicety through free
many connal keeping No sad thing.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
Well, welcome, Welcome to the second hour of the show.
This one's Ross free and I want to jump back
into a text message that I got when Ross was
still in here. I didn't see it until in between
the break, and I got two text messages back to
back from two different people. We were talking specifically about
the situation.

Speaker 6 (35:55):
Hamas has been offered a deal.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
Trump has used relationship building with other Arab nations to
put a different kind of pressure on Hamas this time,
and of course the details of the deal have to
be worked out.

Speaker 6 (36:07):
And frankly, I don't believe.

Speaker 4 (36:09):
That Hamas will release the hostages until they've been released
and the bodies have been tested with DNA.

Speaker 6 (36:15):
Right, I don't trust them.

Speaker 4 (36:17):
But one of these texters said, because Hamas is a
terrorist organization, it explains why both Egypt and Jordan have
closed access to the Gaza Strip because they don't want
Hamas infiltrating their land, just as the PLO infiltrated Jordan
years ago.

Speaker 6 (36:32):
Correct, but then this one.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
But aren't Hamas made up of Palestinians, So aren't they
killing their brothers and sisters? Okay, See, this is a
great question and it will allow me to expound on
something that I hope is helpful. When you're thinking about
the situation with the Palestinians and the Israelis, you cannot
look at it through a lens that you would normally
look at it as an American. Even with the way

(36:57):
things are going right now in the United States, and
I have a lot of stuff we're going to talk
about some of the tone of how things are going,
and you know, we'll get into that in a moment.

Speaker 6 (37:08):
But you're assuming that the people.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
Who live in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinians who live
in the Gaza Strip, are raised with similar values as
the values that we are raised here in the United States.
Values that actually value human life. I mean what used to,
but values that value human life, that believe that until recently,
it's not okay to kill someone just because they disagree

(37:31):
with you. And the problem with that is is that
we have video it's been out for years of a
kindergarten ceremony where parents are coming to a Palestinian kindergarten.
By the way, those kindergarteners were run by the UN
Refugee Works Association, right, they were run by the UN,

(37:53):
and they have all of these parents coming around, so
they're little children. They're little five six year old kindergarteners
are there in fake bomb belts with fake guns, pretending
to be suicide bombers in kindergarten.

Speaker 6 (38:09):
They don't believe that human life on this earth has value.

Speaker 4 (38:13):
They believe that their reward comes from defending Islam, their
version or their brand of Islam, whatever you want to
call it, and that there's glory to be found in
the next life from killing people, and if women and
children have to be killed in the meantime, so they
can bring over the TV cameras and trot out the
victims so they can make themselves look like the victim.

Speaker 8 (38:34):
Again.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
They don't care.

Speaker 6 (38:37):
They really don't care.

Speaker 4 (38:39):
Within the last year, we've had video of Hamas actually
murdering people who protested Hamas in the Gaza Strip. A
young man who was seen on camera protesting and saying
Hamas go out or get out was found dismembered on
the front step of his family's house. Who do you
think did that? That was a moss Amas doesn't care

(39:02):
about fatalities. That is why they aim their rockets directly
at city centers. That's why during the into Fada, you
know that thing that kids are running around chanting globalizing
into Fada. They would send suicide bombers into pizza parlors
because they don't care who dies. They don't care if
there's Palestinians in their eating, they don't care. They just
want the most carnage possible because they believe that killing

(39:26):
Jews is their mission, it is their very reason for being,
so to think that they would care about killing their
brothers and sisters. Notice, when someone does get killed, they
call them a martyr. That person is a martyr, and
they believe, because of the bastardized version of Islam that
they support, that that is a good thing. So you

(39:49):
can't look at what's happening over there through the lens
of what's happening here unless you want to look at Israel,
because Israel still does things like before dropping bombs on
the last of Gaza city that is known to be
a Hamas stronghold, they drop tons of leaflets letting people know,
you guys gotta go, you gotta go. We're coming to
kill militants and we're ready to do it. And they're

(40:11):
right here and you're right here, so you need to go.
We know that Hamas doesn't care about killing civilians because
they continually put their headquarters underneath hospitals. They put rocket
launching sites right next to kindergartens. They purposely stage their
weapons and carnage in places where the most civilian casualties
are going to occur because they're counting on people, honestly, people.

Speaker 6 (40:34):
Like you, Texter.

Speaker 4 (40:36):
They're counting on people like you not being able to
recognize the difference, and they're counting on people like you
to see the terrible things and people have been killed
in Israel. Isn't it interesting though, that the Health Ministry
does not separate out Hamas fighters and Hamas civilians, right
Doesn't that kind of tell you all you need to know.

(40:59):
Israel has gone above and beyond multiple times to spare
civilian lives. It's why they keep moving people from one
part of Gaza to another, because they're trying not to
kill civilians. What cracks me up. And honestly, the notion
that Israel is committing genocide is laughable to me. It's
laughable because the Gaza strip is tiny. It is a

(41:21):
very very small piece of real estate. If they really
wanted to commit genocide on the Palestinians. They could carpet
bomb every single one of them with very little effort,
because now they're packed into it to an even smaller
part of the Gaza strip, which is already small. If
Israel was trying to commit genocide, every Palestinian would already

(41:43):
be dead. That's just that's the fact, that is it.
And for us to sit here and think, oh gosh,
they would never do that to their neighbor, they would.
I mean, you, guys, it seems foreign to us, doesn't it.
But the reality is is that I also have on
the blog today some really ugly polling data, very ugly

(42:04):
polling data the left today. This is from Michael Schellenberger
justifies political violence at a rate five times higher than
the right. Twenty five percent of very liberal and seventeen
percent of liberal versus six percent of conservative and three
percent of very conservative believe that political violence is justified

(42:29):
in some circumstances. So if, for instance, you were just
polling the very liberal at twenty five percent say yes,
violence can sometimes be justified, is it really hard to
understand why Hamas views every Palestinian death as a necessary
thing that must happen so they can get the world
to unite against Israel, which isn't that hard because anti

(42:52):
Semitism is just running wild. It's really I mean, it's
genius strategy. But in today's environment in the United States,
is it that hard to believe that that's what could
be happening. So thank you for asking Texter. I appreciate
the question. I hope that I hope that you are

(43:12):
asking that question from truly a position of wanting to
understand the conflict better. And I say, this is someone
Ross and I were actually talking about this off the air.
I'm ready for Benjamin Yahu to go. I'm ready to
not have him be a part of this conflict anymore.
But on the flip side of this, I think he
is absolutely right when he believes strongly that Hamas cannot

(43:36):
be allowed to continue to exist in any significant way
in the Gaza Strip. They must be disarmed. I think
he's right about that. And I think for us the
United States, for Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio is on as
saying our Secretary of State is on record as saying, Hey,
we're going to go ahead and come after the hostages fast,

(43:57):
and first, we're going to take care of the hostages first,
and then we're gonna worry about everything else that is
not that's not. Those things cannot be separated because in
order to control Hamas, you have to disarm Hamas completely.
Now they'll have no trouble getting more weapons from Yemen
and from Iran and wherever else they want to get weapons,

(44:18):
There's no doubt about that. But if anybody in the
Goaza strip is seen with a weapon, they need to
be seen as a combatant and just taken down right there.
And I hate, hate, hate that I feel this way,
I really do. I think it's it would be terrible.
But the reality is this, the indoctrination of the Palestinian
people has been so complete that they are so filled

(44:42):
with just reflexive hatred of Jews and Israel that it
gave them the ability to go and work. A lot
of people don't realize this, but the kibbutz that was
rated by Hamas terrorists who then murdered everyone little b
and children and raped women and cut off the heads

(45:03):
of young men who worked on the kibbutz is one
of those. Kibbutz had a lot of Palestinians that were
they had already gone through a security checkpoint, and they
were allowed to come over and work in Israel on
the kibbutz is every day, those same Palestinians who went
to work with those people side by side every single day.
And one thing you need to realize about a kibbutz
in Israel is that a lot of it's farming and

(45:26):
you know, creating food and crops and things like that.
It's a lot of farming and greenhouse work and things
of that nature. Every single person on that kibbutz works
the same. There's no hierarchy, right, So it's not like
a sort of a plantation model where people are like,
oh they of course they put the No. The Israelis
are working side by side every single day to allow

(45:48):
the Palestinians to make a decent living. And some of
those Palestinians were instrumental in letting Hamas know where everything was.
They made maps so they could kill more efficiently the
people that they worked side by side with every single day.
Is that an ideology you can wrap your head around. No,

(46:08):
of course not, because we're not savages. That kind of thing,
that thinking is a savage mentality. And if you do
feel that way, if you do feel like you could
go in to your workplace tomorrow and share it with
the enemy, knowing that everyone will be murdered and tortured
in the process. Please don't listen to this show anymore
because it would creep me out knowing you were there

(46:30):
just saying, Mandy, genocide scholars are not laughing at the
notion of possible Israeli genocide. Genocide scholars, uh huh, I'm sorry,
you guys. The only genocide that would occur in the
Gaza strip or Israel would be the one that Hamas
would inflict on Israeli's given the opportunity. Look at what

(46:53):
they did on October seventh. Go back and watch the
hours a video that they streamed of them committing the
worst atrocities in the history recent history, certainly of the
twenty first century, and they live streamed it. They didn't
just do it, they didn't even have the decency to

(47:15):
feel horrible about it. They shared it with the world
so everybody could celebrate the murder of Jews. So I'm
super sorry that because they put their headquarters and their
weapons and their weapons caches in the middle of suburban
and you know, urban populations, I'm super sorry that some
people have died. But the fact of the matter is

(47:37):
is when you're dealing with evil of that rate, and
I use the word evil purposefully, when you're dealing with
evil of that level, unfortunately, it's not going to be perfect,
just like it wasn't perfect when we dropped the atomic
bomb on Japan twice. Don't you think that there was
innocent victims there in Japan, People who were going about

(48:00):
their business, living their lives every single day. But nobody
looks back now and says, gosh, we shouldn't have done that,
because we know we saved thousands and thousands and thousands
of American lives because of that.

Speaker 6 (48:13):
We chose.

Speaker 4 (48:14):
Guess what Israel is choosing, And they're choosing their own people,
the people who are targeted every single day by rockets
fired by Gaza, every single day, by people who flew
into a music festival full of helming people and started
murdering like their lives depended on it. Israel has chosen,

(48:39):
and I stand with Israel's right to choose, and I
stand with the fact that they chose their people. Unlike
a Moss. By the way, guys, that Moss has enough
tunnels underground for pretty much every single person in the
Gaza strip. They could go into those tunnels and they
wouldn't get killed by a single bomb. You know why

(49:00):
they don't because Hamas won't let them, because Hamas needs
them to die.

Speaker 6 (49:05):
So people like you can keep sending me text messages,
but if.

Speaker 4 (49:10):
You're waiting for me to change my mind, if you're
waiting for me to somehow back down, it's not going
to happen. It's not going to happen because until Hamas
is gone a memory, and by the way, Arab nations
step up and rebuild Gazo with an eye towards living
in a vibrant society that is integrated with the rest

(49:32):
of the world, Israel will never have peace and they
know it. So yeah, I'm all for it. Do what
you gotta do, Do what you gotta do. Anyway, I
want to get back to what I was talking about.
The Michael Schellenberger tweet is part of a longer post
that I have on my blog today at mandy'sblog dot com.

(49:56):
It started there's a bunch of news stories kind of
woven into one longer blog post here. I don't know
if you heard this, but over the weekend there was
an ice activity in Chicago, and now these crazy maniacs
are now going and they're getting in the way of
ICE activities as they're trying to enforce immigration law. And

(50:18):
at one point they were surrounded by vehicles. The ICE
agents were surrounded by other vehicles. They were being rammed.
They were forced to open fire on people in Chicago,
and when they called the police, the police department from
somewhere told the police to stand down and not respond to.

Speaker 6 (50:36):
Any of their calls for help.

Speaker 4 (50:39):
So, just to be clear, so you understand what I
just said, someone in the Chicago Police department ordered the
patrol officers, who normally would have responded to shots fired
and calls for help, they were told not to respond
by someone in the Chicago Police department because it was ICE.

(50:59):
And I guess if you work for ICE, you get
what you deserve, right, I mean enforcing the law.

Speaker 6 (51:03):
You should die, right.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
There was a woman who was involved in this, by
the way, who shot at ICE officers and they shot
back and they hit her.

Speaker 6 (51:10):
She has lived thus far, but.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
I'm wondering if Illinois is even going to prosecutor if
the federal government will prosecute her.

Speaker 6 (51:17):
I'm sure, and that's what's going to have to happen.

Speaker 4 (51:20):
But when I read this, and I'm thinking to myself, Okay,
here we are. Now, we're in a situation now where
we've got local police actively rooting for and working against
the federal government's law enforcement arm.

Speaker 6 (51:33):
And you've got the governor of Illinois.

Speaker 4 (51:36):
Out on TV talking about how Ice the people who
were attacked. He accused him of thuggery and accused the
ICE agents of lying about these so called stand down orders,
except certain police officers who were not happy about it,
took pictures of their devices in their car with the

(51:59):
order from the main headquarters. And now they're everywhere, all
over social media, so there's no way to not see it.
And you couple this in with another story out of Virginia,
and if you have not seen this story out of Virginia.

Speaker 6 (52:15):
Holy crap, Holy crap.

Speaker 4 (52:20):
So there's a guy running for lieutenant governor.

Speaker 6 (52:22):
He is the Democratic candadate. His name is Jay Jones.

Speaker 4 (52:27):
J Jones is black, he is a Democrat, and in
twenty twenty two, we now know that he has sent
to a Republican colleague text messages in which he speculated
who eat shoot if given the chance, only meaning Republicans.
By the way, he wished that one of House Speaker

(52:47):
Todd Gilbert's children would die to make the Republican reconsider
his position on guns, and then said that he Gilbert
and his wife were breeding little fascists. He actually said
two bullets Gilbert, Polpot and Hitler. I'm putting two in Gilbert.
That was in the text message exchange from twenty twenty two.

(53:09):
Now what's really appalling about this, incredibly appalling, is that
the Democrats aren't calling on him to drop out of
the race. The Democrats are making excuses. Mister Jones tried
to get out of it by putting out a weak
sauce statement that said, like.

Speaker 12 (53:29):
All people, I've set text messages that I regret and
I believe that violet rhetoric has they'll place in our politics. Guys,
I can show you every single text message I have
ever sent, not those, but I have never said that
I would put a bullet in someone in my immediate vicinity.
Usually when I say, oh, yeah, if you murder them,

(53:50):
I'll help you bury the body, and then I always
put just kidding.

Speaker 4 (53:55):
I mean certain friends I'd help bury your body, but
not every friend. You know you've really got to have
long history for bodybearing. That's something you gotta, you know,
I and I there are other people probably would be
better at that than me. So the part is not
that he said it, because boy have we seen. We
have seen over the last few weeks what Democrats really think,

(54:16):
at least a chunk of them, what they really think
about people on the right. Not only do they not
care if we die, they celebrate it. So we've seen
the underbelly right now of people on the left. And
no one is calling for this guy to step down.
No one in the Democratic Party is saying this guy

(54:37):
can't run. I mean, we already know the Democrats are
very good at just taking out a Canada to one,
you know, in a primary, and just shoving another one
in there. But this is this is okay, this.

Speaker 6 (54:51):
Is just a little bump in the road.

Speaker 4 (54:52):
It's a casual note.

Speaker 6 (54:53):
Hey, no harm, no foul, right, I mean, hey, what
that thing is? They're defensive.

Speaker 4 (54:57):
He actually called it a smear campaign that someone released
his text messages.

Speaker 6 (55:02):
By the way, do you know why he was so
mad about mister Gilbert.

Speaker 4 (55:06):
Mister Gilbert had just gone and given a eulogy for
a Democratic colleague that this guy did not like he
wasn't left wing enough and use that to wish for
his death. They seem nice. Your text message is five
six six N I O on the common spirital text
sign coming up next. A lot of people who are
on the Israelis Committing genocide bandwagon and are quite salty

(55:29):
with me because I'm not reading their lengthy text messages
about it. But I want to address this. I will
absolutely address this. Is there are there people in massive
food and security in Gaza. Absolutely what about all the
UNAID that's going into Gaza. Let me explain to you
how the UNAID is not getting there. There was a

(55:51):
very recent story about this. So the un which for
an organization that is supposed to bring world peace, does
a really lousy job much everything they do. Just they
are absolutely terrible at pretty much everything they do. And
here's what happens. They have these big trucks full of AID,
they start to go into Gaza. One or three or

(56:11):
four things happen. Number one, the Israelis require them to
allow them to inspect every single parcel. You know why,
because the uh Hamas was sneaking in weapons and explosives
in baby formula and other things like that. So now
the inspection process is quite cumbersome. But ultimately the Israelis

(56:32):
are not looking to re arm Hamas, so they have
to look through everything to make sure there are no weapons.
And then the UN does not have the ability to
get it into Gaza. Why in part because they keep
getting attacked by Hamas. If they don't get attacked by Hamas,
then the Palestinian people who are starving attack the eight
trucks take everything, and then all of their stuff is

(56:52):
taken by Hamas to create a vibrant black market in
Gaza City and in other places. So that's a huge problem.
You want to know why people are starting because the
moss is stealing all the food. That's a big part
of it. And I'll address the whole genocide thing, the
genocide situation. By the way, they keep changing the definition
of genocide so they can shove Israel into it. An

(57:16):
actual term genocide was defined in nineteen forty four and
it refers to the physical destruction of an entire group
in whole or in part because of their identity, like
the Jews were targeted in World War Two. That's where
the word genocide came from. They were taking them all out.

(57:38):
Didn't matter what your situation was, if you were a Jew,
you were going to be killed. That's genocide. Israel has
been fighting against Hummas. They are not trying to wipe
out the Palestinian people. See my earlier comments. They could
have absolutely murdered every single Palestinian at this point, and
that's what it would have been. It would have been murder.

(57:58):
But instead they've gone to great links to let the
Palestinian people know, hey, we're coming after Hamas right there
where you are, so you can either move or possibly
get blown up.

Speaker 6 (58:08):
Is that how we conduct warfare?

Speaker 4 (58:12):
Is that what we expected of American troops when we
were in a Rock and Afghanistan? Did we expect them
to go to every single village and warn people of
what was coming? Of course not that is only put
on Israel, And yet they still do it.

Speaker 6 (58:25):
They still try.

Speaker 4 (58:27):
But Hamas puts all their stuff right next to urban areas,
and therefore that is how Palestinian people are dying. Again,
it's what Hamas wants. It's absolutely what Hamas wants. Israel
has done just they've relocated the Palestinians over and over
and over, trying to get them out. Of harm's way

(58:48):
while still trying to fight Hamas. By the way, one
point I always like to point out, Hamas has tunnels
all over the place in Gaza, all over the place,
and you know what, normal Palestinians know where those tunnels are.
Normal Palestinians could have started helping the Israelis a long
time ago, but they didn't, and they're not. They could
have brought this to an end a long time ago

(59:09):
by helping them get the hostages back. Hamas's actions, by
the way, are the ones that are actually designed to
cause harm to Palestinian civilians so they can blame Israel.
The phrase useful idiots has really been in my mind.

Speaker 6 (59:25):
A lot lately.

Speaker 4 (59:28):
And the people who are like, what about the starving children?
Of course I'm concerned about the starving children. If only
Hamas would stop attacking people when they were getting aid,
If only, wouldn't that be nice? But this is what
drives me crazy about the people on the text line.
You never talk about Hamas. You never talk about Hamas
at all, So why don't you talk about Hamas. Why

(59:52):
don't you understand that if Hamas gave the hostages back, if,
as a matter of fact, if Hamas accepts this part
of the deal and they give the hostages back. That
undercuts a lot any further Israeli shelling and bombing and
things of that nature, because they've been saying it all along,
give us the hostages back and we'll figure it out,

(01:00:14):
so that they would be really, really smart to go
ahead and say, yeah, we're gonna give you the hostages
back at this point, at this moment in time. Holy cow.

Speaker 6 (01:00:25):
But you never talk about the fact that Hamasa's.

Speaker 4 (01:00:27):
Is still there, still agitating, still depressing, still brainwashing. You
never talk about that. And what would you do if
you live next door to Hamasa. Those were your neighbors
and every day they were firing rockets into your backyard
at your kids, what would you do? Would you be
sure and make sure that there was no innocence when
you went over there to recavoc with your own rockets?

(01:00:49):
Of course, not please to this text, or please shut
up and talk about something else. Okay, sure, sure we
can talk about something else. I'm okay with it. When
do we get back, I want to continue my conversation.
I got a I saw this tweet earlier this week,
and I don't know who the guy is but in

(01:01:10):
this story could be completely false, but I'm afraid it's not.
And it was kind of what started the Serbian Civil
War that has been so destructive. And this guy posted
I was talking to a friend who grew up in Yugoslavia.
He's about ten years older than me and recently moved
back to Serbia. What struck me about his recounting of
the years before the war began was the sense of banality,

(01:01:33):
a kind of timelessness, despite all the vitriol, It didn't
really feel like anything was going to happen right away.
But what set off the Homeland War, the conflict between
the new Croatian State and Yugoslavia was a single bus attack.
A group of paramilitaries open fire on Croatian police officers
near poc Rock, killing several and wounding others.

Speaker 6 (01:01:56):
That moment lit the fuse. From there everything erupted.

Speaker 4 (01:02:00):
The war turned brutal very quickly, with civilians swept into atrocities.
Imagine being raped in your own bedroom, beheaded in front
of your family in the garden, ort aid's thrown through
your window, and your bones later collected.

Speaker 6 (01:02:10):
And dropped into a village.

Speaker 4 (01:02:11):
Well, and when I see a young woman today, mocking
the death of someone she disagrees with, or speaking with
ambivalence about an assassination. I can't help think she has
no idea how fast things can change. She doesn't know
that violence, once on leash doesn't stay contained. I feel
sorry for her and for people like her, because they
don't realize what may be coming. The truth is, it's

(01:02:34):
almost impossible to imagine. The shift happens too fast, the
violence too unforgiving and traumatizing, the pain last generations.

Speaker 6 (01:02:42):
I see it in my own family.

Speaker 4 (01:02:44):
My grandparents steals, pinch pennies, mistrust, everyone swear that people
are out to rob them, that fear has been passed
down and it lingers. If Americans speak with such disdain
for people they disagree with, they should be prepared to
endure those traumas too, for themselves and their face families
for decades to come.

Speaker 6 (01:03:02):
So there you go, There you go.

Speaker 4 (01:03:06):
Uh this text, Mandy Wire texts such a holes here.
To be clear, you guys, these people were trying that
They weren't mean about it. They were just expressing a
viewpoint that I find distasteful because to me, it's steeped
in ignorance of the situation. I can look at everything
that's happened in Israel and Gaza and the you know,

(01:03:27):
even in with Palestinian history, right, the fact that Hamas
has been the stumbling block and the Palestinian authority for
decades now for any kind of real, lasting peace, And
I can understand why the Israelis are sick of it,
wouldn't you be? I mean, talk about just a never
ending stream of nonsense. That's what Israeli's citizens deal with

(01:03:51):
every day. Anyway, Okay, when we get back, I'm going
in a totally different direction. I really didn't mean to
spend this much time on something so serious, so let's
do something completely different. Yesterday it was a very important
anniversary of one of the most important film franchises in
the history of film franchises.

Speaker 6 (01:04:12):
And when we get back, let the games begin on
James Bond.

Speaker 4 (01:04:18):
What was released from the Department of Treasury as the
commemorative coin for the Sesqua Centennial, our two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary. I just want to make sure everybody knows
I am a hard pass. The draft shows the coin
will feature the face of President Trump on both the
heads and tails side, but federal lawbrahibits the minting of

(01:04:43):
any coin that features the face of any living president.
So hopefully this is just the first iteration that is
designed to make people crazy because it's just a little
too Hey, everybody, I'm a dictator for my case. Okay,
let's talk about James Bond for a moment, shall we.
Yesterday marked sixty three since Doctor New hit the theaters.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:05:05):
I love James Bond movies, love them. I will watch
them when they are on I own them all on DVD.
I love James Bond movies. So it's always the easy thing, like, oh,
who is the best James Bond and why is it
Sean Connery? And you can't really make that comparison anymore.

(01:05:26):
And you can't even because the franchise has changed so much.
I mean, they gave Daniel Craig like meat to work
with as an actor. They did not give Roger Moore
meat to work with in Moonraker, which, by the way, glorious,
just glorious. Yep, Mandy, check out Tom Hopper for the

(01:05:50):
next James Bond. He plays Raith on the Terminal List
Dark Wolf. I you know a lot of the people
that I would have loved to have seen interest Elba
James Bond. He would have been the most amazing first
black James Bond.

Speaker 6 (01:06:05):
But I don't know who. Wait a minute, hang on,
this is who?

Speaker 11 (01:06:07):
Did you say?

Speaker 4 (01:06:08):
Tom Hopper?

Speaker 6 (01:06:10):
Tom Hopper?

Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
It's always exciting. And when they announced Daniel Craig, I
was like, no, how did they do this? Ooh, he's
kind of cute Tom Hopper. Yes, yes, Tom Hopper at
least forty though. They want somebody a little bit younger
because they're gonna expect him to do ten years worth
of films. One of the things the only reason I

(01:06:31):
wanted to talk about James Bond for a moment is simple.
James Bond has somehow managed to escape being canceled. And
when you go back and you watch you watch the
Sean Connery and you watch the run, I mean, there
is so much ridiculous sexism there. It's not even funny.
I mean, man, not even funny. And yet somehow they

(01:06:56):
still are allowed to continue.

Speaker 6 (01:06:59):
And I love it, love it. They represent a different
time in our country, and it was the time.

Speaker 4 (01:07:04):
It was what it was, y'all. It wasn't perfect, It
just wasn't. Mandy, did you just call George Washington and
Ben Franklin dictators. I don't think I did. I don't
know what I would have said that would have gotten
you to think that.

Speaker 6 (01:07:19):
Anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:07:22):
So with the stipulation about the living president, you would
think that the left no, no, okay, no, Ben George Washington,
Ben Franklin weren't on money when they.

Speaker 6 (01:07:31):
Were still alive.

Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
It's part of the rules. And this textter said, so
with a stipulation about the living president, you wouldn't think
that the left would be in favor of the design,
just saying no, no, And I don't think no no, Mandy,
what do you think about a female James or Jamie Bond?
I just want to say absolutely not, because I think
into every James Bond, no matter who's playing it, no

(01:07:55):
matter the quality of the material that they're working in,
there is a baked in level of macho that is
necessary to make the character work.

Speaker 6 (01:08:05):
There is a certain amount of.

Speaker 4 (01:08:07):
Sort of bravado and sexual liberation that has to exist.
And I don't want to I don't think a woman
could pull it off. I don't want to see a
woman do that. I don't want to see a woman
to behave like that. I love the show The Rookie
Chuck and I love cop procedurals. We watch them all
the time. And if you've not seen The Rookie, the

(01:08:27):
whole premise of it is Nathan Fillian's character has gone
to become a cop when he's like forty something years old,
and I've.

Speaker 6 (01:08:34):
Loved the show.

Speaker 4 (01:08:34):
And then they introduced his love interests Bailey. Okay, so
you start finding out stuff about Bailey. Bailey is a
She's in the reserves, like special Forces of the Reserve,
which I didn't even know is a thing, but I'm
sure it is. She's a firefighter, she you know, like
does all these super macho, kick butt things. Bailey is
like five to four in weighs like ninety pounds. So

(01:08:56):
I'm not buying any of this. I doesn't want to,
let you know. I mean, I'm sure they're little, tiny,
skinny type Hollywood actress looking women who are super strong
and can do a firefighter's job. She does not look
like one of them, but they keep adding all of
these things to make her even more macho and even
like more like kick ass dude, and it just is
such a turn off. I don't want to see women

(01:09:18):
act like men, you know, I don't want to see it.
I don't want to see a female James Bond Mandy.
Look up Aaron Taylor Johnson. He was in the James
Bond conversation. I like him in that conversation. He's one
of the ones that I was like, you know what,
if you're looking somebody for somebody a little bit younger,
my perfect ideal I would cast him right now. James

(01:09:38):
Bond would be Henry Cavill, but he's too old to
get the rest of the movies in Mandy. What if
it's really a tough transvestite playing James Bond.

Speaker 6 (01:09:47):
Well, now you have my interest, Hollywood.

Speaker 4 (01:09:50):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (01:09:57):
No.

Speaker 6 (01:09:58):
Aaron Taylor Johnson. I think he would be amazing.

Speaker 8 (01:10:02):
Charli Hunham, who's playing ed Geen right now in the
new Netflix Monster. He's from Sons of Anarchy.

Speaker 6 (01:10:10):
At You and something Something.

Speaker 8 (01:10:12):
Eh, he's really good act You got to be a
really good actor. You can't just be a good looking
twenty five though he's also forty five. I mean, well,
then you're starting the conversation about Tom Holland, then.

Speaker 4 (01:10:23):
Well, Aaron Taylor Johnson is not that old. He's maybe
thirty something, thirty five. He'd be great he's thirty five,
and he's got a bit of an edge about him.
Like one of the things I didn't like about Daniel
Craig initially was that he was too pretty. He was
too pretty, And now they just like I said, they
gave him such good meat to work with on that franchise.
We'll see who comes up next. We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
No, it's Mandy Connell koam ninety one f m oh God,
say the nice through.

Speaker 3 (01:11:05):
Babyconnell, keeping you real, sad babe.

Speaker 4 (01:11:10):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the third hour of the show. Okay,
I gotta wrap up a little something James Bondi from
the last segment. By the way, if you haven't checked
the podcast or excuse me, not the podcast, the blog today,
it's outstanding. Yes, So a textter just hit me with
this text message, Mandy, do you hear about Amazon digitally
removing the guns in bond promotional photos?

Speaker 6 (01:11:33):
And another text for Mandy.

Speaker 4 (01:11:34):
I saw a post about a streaming platform having edited
the guns out of the main pictures for all the
old double oh seven movies? Is this real? So I
use the Google and yes it was real. They just
Amazon actually just bought MGM. They bought the entire catalog.

(01:11:55):
After acquiring MGM, which owns all of the Bond movies,
they began using modified artwork for the James Bond films
on its Prime Video platform in the UK.

Speaker 6 (01:12:06):
In the new images, guns were.

Speaker 4 (01:12:08):
Removed from his hand in various posters, sometimes by cropping
the image.

Speaker 6 (01:12:13):
Or digitally lengthening the arms.

Speaker 4 (01:12:17):
Let's just say the fans did not react kindly, and
now Amazon has back down and dropped the gun free
James Bond posters.

Speaker 6 (01:12:28):
I mean, what did they really think?

Speaker 4 (01:12:30):
Oh, I'm sorry, I just clicked onto the Guardian's story
about it. And Doctor No, Doctor No.

Speaker 6 (01:12:39):
I mean, you know what, Sean Connery always looked good
in Baby Blue, and the cover.

Speaker 4 (01:12:44):
Of Doctor No is him standing with like, you know,
a golf shirt at the time, no buttons at the top,
just a V neck tucked into his high waisted sands
of belt pants baby blue as well, and he's got
his arms crossed and his arm that is facing upwards
in his crosstarm position.

Speaker 6 (01:13:01):
He's holding his Walter BBK.

Speaker 4 (01:13:05):
Now they've just taken it out now, imagine how stupid
he looks and not tough at all, wearing all baby
blue with no gun, and they have now been they've
now replaced it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:16):
That is.

Speaker 4 (01:13:18):
That is hilarious, Absolutely hilarious.

Speaker 6 (01:13:25):
That is that's excellent. You guys are so smart.

Speaker 4 (01:13:27):
I don't see everything, and yet here you are doing
the rest of the heavy lifting for me. Mandy. Why
don't they keep Jason Statham because Jason Statham isn't bond so, yeah,
that would be a problem. I'm just gonna say it.
I like Jason Statham. I don't think he has the

(01:13:48):
acting chops. I've never seen him in anything with the
acting shops. Somebody else suggested Miles Teller, and I like
Miles Teller as well. I don't know if he has
the acting chops. He's closed. Tarn Egerton is another really
popular you have, Karen Egerton. He's got a certain likability
about him.

Speaker 6 (01:14:06):
Yeah, in the that I like Jackson's fantastic. Obviously, I
don't know. We'll see.

Speaker 4 (01:14:11):
They got to figure something out because they've already greenlit
the next minute. They also green lit Ocean's.

Speaker 8 (01:14:15):
Fourteen Hell to the Yes, Okay, can.

Speaker 4 (01:14:19):
We all just agree to look past Ocean's thirteen.

Speaker 8 (01:14:21):
No, we absolutely cannot, Mandy Connor, because it's my favorite one.
You watch yourself, absolutely and I will never stand for
the Ocean's thirteen disrespect. It's the best one and it's
not close, and I don't care what anyone has to
say about it, and text here you can keep your
opinions on that to your self.

Speaker 6 (01:14:37):
Beathing.

Speaker 8 (01:14:38):
It's my favorite movie ever.

Speaker 6 (01:14:41):
Shut up, Yes it is, okay. I'm gonna go back
and watch it again. Yes you are.

Speaker 4 (01:14:45):
I saw it when it first came out, and my
overwilling feeling was me.

Speaker 6 (01:14:49):
And you'd be wrong and everyone else is wrong.

Speaker 8 (01:14:51):
And if I say you think it's bad, go watch
Ocean's twelve because that one sucked.

Speaker 4 (01:14:55):
Yeah it did.

Speaker 8 (01:14:55):
Ocean's eleven's pretty good. Thirteen is the best.

Speaker 4 (01:14:59):
Oceans eleven is very good. Where I just watched Ocean's
eight again, surprised at how.

Speaker 6 (01:15:07):
Good it is. It's okay, it's not great, it's a
good movie.

Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
If you had Ocean's eight as a standalone chick flick,
without Ocean's eleven being a reference point, it would have
been a phenomenal Like you'd be like, that's a.

Speaker 8 (01:15:17):
Great man, So don't make an Ocean's movie because they
also have to bring back George Clooney, which they kind
of alluded to the fact that they faked his death
anyway in that movie. So back you gotta replace Bernie Mack.
Oh yeah, it would be tough.

Speaker 4 (01:15:29):
Oh wow, I forgot about Bernie Mack. Yep, didn't they
replace it?

Speaker 10 (01:15:32):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:15:33):
I guess not.

Speaker 4 (01:15:35):
He was still alive.

Speaker 8 (01:15:36):
I want to I don't know. I know, you don't
know who this guy is. But he's a comedian that
would also bring in the young crowd. And he literally
feels like a young iteration of Bernie Mac. His name
is Drew Ski. He's a really funny streamer. He's got
like a billion views on YouTube. He looks like him,
he sounds like him. It bring in the young crowd,
it'd be awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:15:53):
I just think that you should probably not try to
just have a carbon copy.

Speaker 8 (01:15:58):
No, but it's like it's it's just and it's humorous.
I think it would work again. It would bring in
the young people big time into the Ocean's franchise and
kind of a little like, you know, a little jolt
of it.

Speaker 4 (01:16:09):
Look exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:16:10):
He's black. But I mean, I don't think it looks
like his voice.

Speaker 8 (01:16:13):
Specifically, he sounds so much like Bernie Mack and I
saw that and I love it.

Speaker 6 (01:16:17):
We're gonna have to find somebody to fill that role.
I can't so excited for this.

Speaker 4 (01:16:22):
They adding people to the roster.

Speaker 8 (01:16:24):
When they keep adding a number, I mean you do,
because I don't even know what what was the first one?

Speaker 6 (01:16:28):
Okay, so what was the first one?

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:16:30):
That's the point.

Speaker 6 (01:16:31):
It makes it feel like, oh wow, where's Oceans one,
two three?

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:16:35):
You know, give you any idea origin story? He's old?

Speaker 6 (01:16:43):
Now, who's going to play young George Clooney? Oh a,
I A, I will.

Speaker 4 (01:16:46):
That's so sad, because it's true. We're going to get
to a point now where where you know, you could
actually film the the Benjamin Buttons movie and just you know,
no makeup.

Speaker 6 (01:16:58):
Mandy, I don't know if you've talked about it yet.

Speaker 4 (01:17:00):
The win last night?

Speaker 8 (01:17:01):
No, well no, specifically they I Sora too.

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
What is that?

Speaker 6 (01:17:06):
Oh man, it's scary stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
What is it?

Speaker 6 (01:17:08):
It's the new AI program that.

Speaker 8 (01:17:10):
Is designing full almost hard to tell scenes and AI
like movies and television shows that look so real.

Speaker 6 (01:17:23):
It's the new platform. It's insane. It's insane.

Speaker 8 (01:17:27):
Did I watch missed an episode a little short of
mister Rogers welcoming Tupac onto the show?

Speaker 4 (01:17:35):
Wow?

Speaker 6 (01:17:35):
I absolutely did.

Speaker 8 (01:17:37):
Did I watch Brian Cranston from Breaking Bad do a
funny little stand up outside like a restaurant with Michael Jackson?

Speaker 6 (01:17:44):
Absolutely?

Speaker 8 (01:17:45):
Did it look totally real? Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:17:47):
This is where if I am a celebrity whose face
is known like I, you find out how to trademark
your face right now, trademark your voice right now, because
pretty soon people are going to be making money with
your image. And that is and I let me just
say this, if anybody tries to make money, I don't
know how you make money. I can't even figure out
how to make money. Have we talked about yet? Oh

(01:18:09):
the fake actress? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:18:10):
No, that is the first of the Pandora's box. It's insane. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:18:15):
Do you know where I think this is gonna be
the biggest impact. I think you were gonna see the
rise of AI generated porn because if you can do
like beautifully done AI porn where somebody can literally go
to a website to your point and say, this is
the video I.

Speaker 6 (01:18:34):
Want to see, this is what I want the girls
to look like. This is how I want it to go.

Speaker 4 (01:18:38):
This is how I want every aspect of it to be,
and then boom, you create your own fantasy. People are
not going to be leaving the house.

Speaker 8 (01:18:45):
Let's go a step further, a fully hard to tell
AI video of a world leader declaring war.

Speaker 6 (01:18:53):
Yeah, there you go, there you go, it's coming.

Speaker 8 (01:18:56):
Oh how how would one other country be able to
look at that and determine whether or not that was
real well or even not even that extreme, because you
probably could make a phone.

Speaker 6 (01:19:07):
Call like Yo, it was this your AI, and Yot's
say okay, we're good.

Speaker 3 (01:19:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:19:09):
Maybe other smaller scale stuff that starts to lean correct war.

Speaker 6 (01:19:16):
No, I agree, insane, it's terrifying.

Speaker 4 (01:19:19):
Yeah. On that note, when we get back, a couple
things have happened. One in here in Colorado, we have
capped drug prices and the first drug just hit the
cap and this could be a very bad thing if
you use this drug. I'll explain why after this. Coming
up at two thirty, we have a Colorado chairman of

(01:19:41):
the GOP, Britta Horn, joining us to give us the
latest in the latest of the long line of kerfuffles
that have been going on in the party. And today's
did you see today's cartoon?

Speaker 7 (01:19:53):
Did you see it?

Speaker 4 (01:19:53):
Did you see it?

Speaker 3 (01:19:54):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:19:54):
Please go to my social media and look at the
cartoon I made it. I'm practically a the political cartoonists.

Speaker 6 (01:20:01):
Now with the help of AI.

Speaker 8 (01:20:03):
Very good.

Speaker 4 (01:20:03):
Isn't that nice? Do you know who I'm referring to
right there with the people with the masks on, Well,
those are yes, they are yep, they are big time.
I was pretty pleased with the way that and that
was the first iteration. Hey, Rod, who that's Britta? Oh
that's Britta.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:20:20):
Anyway, I've got news for those of you who like me,
love the Fort restaurant, and I am alternately overjoyed for
Holly Arnold Kinney, who is genuinely one of the nicest
people I've ever met in my entire life. She is
just a lovely human being. She has been a part
of the Fort since her birth, since its inception. Her

(01:20:42):
famili's owned it the entire time, and she it's time
for her to retire and enjoy some time off, so
she is going to be selling it to Revesco Properties,
the former owner and partner with Kronky Sports and Entertainment
for the River Mile development project and Elich Gardens now
Kronky Sports bought the rest of it at Steak former
Vesco properties and is now the sole owner. But Holly

(01:21:06):
seems certain that they are going to lean into the
cultural aspect of the fort, which is so important, and
I just hope they don't screw up the food. That's
my thing. Whenever a restaurant of this magnitude in my
life changes hands, I'm always like, oh no, because in
this situation especially, Holly is the heart and soul of

(01:21:29):
the operation. So when she retires, I'm a little bit
worried about that. Anyway, that is something that's happening. Colorado
becomes the first state to cap prescription drug prices, and
if you get enbral, which is an injectable autoimmune disease drug,
that is an absolute game changer for many, many many people.

(01:21:51):
It could get a lot harder to get your hands
on your enrol in Colorado. They've set the cap at
six hundred dollars for a fifty million dose of enbrol.

Speaker 6 (01:22:01):
That is what adults take weekly.

Speaker 2 (01:22:06):
Right now.

Speaker 4 (01:22:07):
I know I have a friend who was on Enbrol
for many years and it was like twenty five hundred
dollars a month for her part. It's extremely expensive, and
we could argue that there's literally no reason that Enbrel
should not be out of patent and that there should
not be a reasonable you know, generic available. It's been

(01:22:28):
around since nineteen ninety eight, and since then the drug
has increased fifteen hundred percent. Now, I want to make
sure you guys don't think I'm defending drug company prices
because I'm not. I would never, I really wouldn't. They
have a monopoly on our care right they are. They
have the ability to get doctors to put us on
this stuff whether we think we need it or not.

(01:22:50):
But capping the cost of inural is going to lead
to probably, I think shortages. Ali Di Lorenzo, lead technician
at wheat Ridge Professional Pharmacy, an independent pharmacy and Wheatridge,
said that the financial burden these expensive medications placed on
pharmacies is going to be a really big problem. She said,

(01:23:11):
it's a very expensive med it's over seven thousand dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:23:15):
Insurance companies don't.

Speaker 4 (01:23:16):
Really reimburse you, but taking a loss on a quarter
of your scripts is not a business. So now there's
lawsuits flying around. Am Jen, the company that makes mberl
is now suing the state of Colorado, And what I
fear is going to happen is that pharmacies are going

(01:23:36):
to say, Wow, we can't afford to take that kind
of loss on that.

Speaker 6 (01:23:40):
Drug, so we're just not going to carry it.

Speaker 4 (01:23:43):
That is realistically what I see being the most immediate
effect of this, And if I were using mbrol or
another drug similar to that, I would be very, very
very concerned that it was going to get really challenging
to get the medication that I rely on. Now, I
have a friend and this is so anecdotal, and I'm
not going to sit here and say what I'm going
to tell you is going to work for everybody. But

(01:24:05):
after being on one of these immune immunotherapy drugs for
a long time for her plaque psoriasis, which is a
form of arthritis, she decided to try and just take
every morning a big, old, disgusting drink of things like turmeric, ginger,
and black pepper instead and has been getting the same

(01:24:26):
level of relief that she was getting from the pharmaceutical. Now,
again totally anecdotal. I'm not recommending you stop your medicine.
I'm just saying that at least in one case, one
person was able to do something a little less expensively.
We're going to take a quick time out. Britta Horn
joining us next right here on KOA. She is the

(01:24:49):
chief kitten herder of the Colorado Republican Party. Britta Horn.
Welcome back to the show, having me Mandy. So, okay,
So since we spoke Britta, so much has happened.

Speaker 3 (01:25:02):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:25:03):
I talked about the fact that a week ago Saturday,
I'm minding my own bees wax, just you know, going
through my day, and all of a sudden, my phone
starts lighting up with text messages from people saying, oh
my gosh, I just came from the State Assembly. I
have no idea what happened. I think we opted out,
but I'm not sure. I have no idea. So I'm

(01:25:24):
going to ask you to tell my listeners what happened
in that meeting, and then we'll get to the Secretary
of State's office in just a second.

Speaker 6 (01:25:32):
So what happened in that meeting? Britta?

Speaker 7 (01:25:34):
Okay, thank you very much. So we had a meeting
and it was the five hundred and you know three people.

Speaker 8 (01:25:42):
It's the.

Speaker 7 (01:25:43):
State Central Committee, which is from the sixty four counties
three people from each one the chair of the vice
the secretary, and then bonus members based on whether or
not the population of that county. So it's five hundred
a handful of people. We all got together to go
over just really the opt out vote, whether we're going

(01:26:04):
to vote on or not. We had a couple of
items laid over because they were table from the meeting before,
and it just like we went in there with the
understanding that we have to have this vote per law,
and we had had it between was August fifteenth and
October first, So we picked the twenty seventh in so
September and we decided, you know, you have to have

(01:26:25):
this vote, and by law you need to have seventy
five percent to want to do it of that body
to opt out of the primary. And opting out means
that there would be no paper ballots to anybody, and
that just these five hundred people and then PCPs precinct
chair people. It's a whole nother rabbit trail would go

(01:26:47):
to have assemblies or conventions next spring and only vote
for one person for each seat within that district, that community,
that county, that and then and then we'd have to
have a big one for the whole the state seats,
no petitioning on, no paper blots going to any of

(01:27:07):
the nine hundred thousand plus Republicans, and obviously the Independents
in Colorado, nothing going over to military overseas, nothing. It
would just be decided by that small percentage.

Speaker 4 (01:27:22):
And let me, I'm gonna I want to drive this
point home because there is a big, old, fat misconception
that if the Republican Party opted out of the primary,
the open primary, that they would somehow be able to
hold another primary and let all of the nine hundred
thousand plus Republicans that are registered here vote on our candidates.

Speaker 6 (01:27:44):
And I keep telling people to your point.

Speaker 4 (01:27:46):
What you just said, all this would do if we
opted out of the primaries, it would put the power
of choosing the general election candidates in the hands of
a very small group of people. So would essentially disenfranchise
about nine hundred and seventy five thousand Republicans. It would
take away our ability to choose our candidate. And in

(01:28:06):
doing so, it's very reminiscent of the way Kamala Harris
became the candidate for the Democratic Party because I said,
I said the other day, I'm like we still don't
know who decided that. At least we'd know the people
that we're choosing our candidates. But then I'll let you continue.
I just want to reiterate that point. We would not
have a primary. We would have a small group of

(01:28:26):
party insiders who work very hard for the party. I
don't want to in any way, shape or form, you know,
denigrate the work that they do. But I don't want
to concede my primary vote to five hundred people in
change or six hundred, whatever the number is. So go
ahead and tell me what happened next.

Speaker 2 (01:28:46):
So we had we had to go.

Speaker 7 (01:28:47):
We had it as our first item, after all the
you know, the minutes. We kept the rules of the
last time, you know, we do all the things, and
it was next and then there was just that's when
it started that they wanted to have these things that
we were laying over first and not this vote and
put that second. So we had to go through all
those pieces and it just was it was very rowdy

(01:29:10):
and it was very loud, and people were acting as
they would and so it just took a lot. It
was a lot of confusion, a lot of chaos. It
was clumsy. We got through it to the point where
we had to leave the building because we only had
it for X number of hours and our security of
the captain of the police force it like it's time

(01:29:30):
to go. So we never had the vote, so unbeknownst
to what people are trying to say and trying to
trick everybody with their with their wordsmithing, it didn't happen.
We didn't have the vote. We had to vote over
another item that was laid over from the Assembly a
year and a half ago down in Plublo, and they
were trying to change the minutia of that, trying to

(01:29:52):
change that into from a controversy and I know we're
going down the rabbit trail a controversy into a resolution
and to get that to be the vote, and it can't.
You have to have the vote there and seventy five percent,
So let's vote.

Speaker 4 (01:30:07):
Yeah, let's talk about what happened that year ago in Pueblo,
because there was a vote popped out of the primary.

Speaker 6 (01:30:14):
But the language, the statutory language.

Speaker 4 (01:30:16):
In the Colorado bill about open primaries says, do you
have to have seventy five percent of the state Central Committee, right,
not seventy five percent of the people who are present,
seventy five percent of the State Central Committee have to
vote topped out of the primary. Did that happen in
twenty twenty four, No, that wasn't.

Speaker 7 (01:30:39):
And that was a state Assembly, not the State Central Committee.
So that was thousands of people. I don't remember, three
and a half maybe four thousand, And it was a
controversy trying to turn into a resolution and having people
stand up and they weren't even the people that should
be voting, and to turn that around into something else,
and it just was it because it was an even year.

(01:31:02):
We can only do these odd years during certain days.
So we had to straight up have that vote. That
vote didn't happen, that other one voted, you know, we
voted on whether that was true or not or we're
going to apply for it, and we did a role
called vote and only forty four percent of that five
hundred people total pass what wanted it, So it didn't

(01:31:25):
pass because you need seventy five percent. So it again
it was never there. There's no there there.

Speaker 13 (01:31:32):
So they didn't follow this statute yet rule of law,
follow the rules, and they did the seventy five percent
of the those present and in proxy, that's how we
got that five hundred number.

Speaker 7 (01:31:45):
Did not vote at seventy five percent level.

Speaker 4 (01:31:48):
Okay, so what even happened? What was given to the
Secretary of State's office after the meeting, because this is
where it gets really ridiculous and interesting to be So
there was.

Speaker 7 (01:31:59):
One of those other piece is laid over, was that
a person and myself, you know, does this body want
us to jointly go together and turn in the results?
Somebody went ahead and did that on their own. C
seed me was not joint as I read it, read

(01:32:21):
it or my are you know the party read it?
You know, the GOP State Central Committee, the whole group
together of us, the executive board, did not even executive
just the electeds. They swore that that that what happened
and that nothing could be further from the truth.

Speaker 4 (01:32:38):
So we had to they said that we affirmed they
opt out and this ada why this is also frustrated.
And then you basically sent the same information. Look, we
didn't opt out on anything to the Secretary And you're
just waiting to hear from Jenner Griswelll's office now about what.

Speaker 7 (01:32:55):
Oh no, we heard of it from him last week.
Oh no, no, no, we heard from him last week
the office, the chief of staff, deputy chief of staff,
and their legal counsel senior league counsel. We manage to
get a phone call with them of the staff and
they said, thank you very much for following rule of law.
We agree with you.

Speaker 6 (01:33:15):
Okay, So that's been put to bed.

Speaker 4 (01:33:16):
And the reason that this, well, I mean, in my
mind that's been put to bed, but obviously that's not
the mind of some members of the Republican Party, which
brings me to my second point that I want to
talk about really quickly on the blog. Today, I have
some really interesting polling from from Forbes and Forbes. The

(01:33:37):
headline on Forbes dot com is, well, maybe if I
can get to the headline, new polls show Bluesteak Colorado
is in play for Republicans. I saw that, and I
thought to myself, but are Republicans going to be able
to capitalize on it? So, Britta, I am not fond it.
As a matter of fact, when you go look at

(01:33:59):
my car tune that I made for today that I
put on my social media to promote the blog, I'm
pretty proud of it. And the likeness of you is
just a rough likeness.

Speaker 6 (01:34:09):
I didn't really drill down, but you know, I captured
the hair and all that. So well, we have.

Speaker 4 (01:34:14):
Some people represented on that cartoon, and they've created a
faction of the Republican Party that is very, very, very
persistent about opting out.

Speaker 6 (01:34:26):
Of the primaries.

Speaker 4 (01:34:27):
Now we already have a lawsuit going on right now,
correct about opting out of the primaries, about changing the law,
which is what I think needs to happen, right.

Speaker 7 (01:34:37):
Absolutely, so that one is over possession one eight for
years ago, and that was already done two years ago
that they were going to do do it. There's a
group of people that are saying, and we believe this
as goops, that it's it's in our belief it's unconstitutional
for a certain group to get two ballots, a demarant
and Republican ballot. So we figured that's unconstitutional. We don't

(01:35:00):
know anywhere in the world that gets to do that,
that a certain group gets two ballots. It has to
turn in one that has a militia. A lot of
other reasons why that's a I believe it's a bad idea,
and we can talk about another time. So it's supposed
to be going to the Supreme Court. And so there's
groups of people working on that with Claremont Institute to
take that to the Supreme Court, going as this constitutional

(01:35:22):
are not constitutional, because back in twenty fifteen before, I
think we all remember it, I remember it. If an
independent wanted to be a part of the primary process,
they just had to do what you can do in
Colorado same day voteric you know, stranger registration and get
that ballot, decide and then change back. You know, shenanigans
have been going on for years of that happening before

(01:35:45):
now eight. So that's where we are having that lawsuit.
We will not hear an answer for the twenty sixth election.
Right this is the game that we have in front
of us.

Speaker 6 (01:35:58):
That's it, Britta.

Speaker 7 (01:35:59):
We have to play the game that's in front of me.
Were the rules, Yeah, we can't take a football to
a tennis netch No, we got tennis.

Speaker 4 (01:36:09):
We've got to play the game as the rules are written.
Right now, and know that this lawsuit is working its
way through, and I realize it's very frustrating, and I
realize it takes forever, and I realized that I get it.
I understand all of those frustrations. But what's happening right
now with this divisiveness in the Republican Party is we're

(01:36:30):
about to snatch defeat from potential jaws of victory. And
you know, we've just got to get We've got to
restore some balance to the legislature more than anything.

Speaker 7 (01:36:41):
Absolutely, and we're not going to let this faction. We're
not gonna let this small, the small part of the
greater picture to win the bigger picture. We're finding other
groups to work with. We're finding very conservative groups to
work with, other organizations within the party. You still have
a lot of people that want to win. We want
to win, and the only way to win is to

(01:37:02):
put more you know, points on the board we have.
That's the only way. So we have to reach out
to them. And I'm just going to share with you
what I've seen the best part abo this job right now.
And I know there's a lot of good things, and
I love all of it, and I love getting up
in the morning and hitting the ground running and let's
go is sadly, sadly on the Republican nine to eleven
was nine ten when Charlie Kirk was murdered. Yep, daily,

(01:37:26):
we are getting people coming into the party. They're coming through,
you know, reaching out to us through X you know, individually,
our website. We're just getting people constantly coming in and
I get to take every one of those calls, call them,
talk to them, find where they want to be, what
do they want to do. It's people that are getting
off the fence and finally know that they're conservatives. They're

(01:37:47):
the gen z z's that are really happy to be around.
I was even talking to a high schooler yesterday and
the high schooler was going, what can I do? And
I mean, I'm not going to share his nighbors. Yeah,
he'll be sixteen this week and I'm like, go to
go do your preregistration to be sixteen, and I'm gonna
find you a cannon to help with with school board,
and I'm gonna find you a group that you can

(01:38:07):
work with high school with conservatives, and through turning point,
we're just gonna plug everybody in. That's how big. Everyone's
looking for community, everybody's looking for relationship and we all
need to win.

Speaker 4 (01:38:18):
Amen to that. Bretta Horn, chairman of the Colorado GOP,
Chief Kitten Herder of the Colorado GOP. I do not
enview you that job at all. Thank you for making
time for me. Today.

Speaker 7 (01:38:30):
I appreciate it. Don't forget to hit the donate button
over at Colorado.

Speaker 4 (01:38:34):
GOP or very good, thanks Britta's that's what you do
when you are the actual chair of a political party.
You remind people to hit the donate button. That was
it felt like a donation last night. But man, what
a great game last night, Ryan, what.

Speaker 6 (01:38:51):
A You didn't dare to hope? Like beginning of the
fourth quarter, You're like, do I do.

Speaker 4 (01:38:56):
I begin to do I begin to hope a little
bit that this is going the way it looks like
it's going.

Speaker 8 (01:39:02):
I mean, it was the combination of things, right, because
you had the fact there was only two scores entering
the fourth quarter.

Speaker 11 (01:39:08):
And I think for a lot of people who are like, oh,
that feels impossible. But this team has shown the ability
to score relatively quick. So I wasn't I wasn't stressing
that they wouldn't find a way to make it more interesting.
I thought that was going to happen. It's just could
you actually close the game and inexplicably the the Eagles
to stop running the ball? There are two scores in
the fourth quarter, and at home, I think we rattled

(01:39:30):
their gauge a little bit with Saquon Barkley of all
running backs back there, and they just stopped running.

Speaker 6 (01:39:36):
He got one hand off in the second half. Oh
my god.

Speaker 11 (01:39:38):
One this guy that was the offensive player of the
Year last year and ran for over two thousand yards
had a chance to set the record and they benched
him in the final week.

Speaker 6 (01:39:49):
That just blows my mind.

Speaker 11 (01:39:50):
And I understand, Hey, listen, you know you got your
your wide receivers complaining about not getting the ball enough,
and you feel like you gotta make them happy, but
you're peppering them with tarts early on. It's one of
the reasons why you built the league. You did so
so uh little stunned by that decision making. And then
simultaneously the Broncos they have just sort of figured out
a way to run the ball in the second half,
and that really opened up the passing gap. And I

(01:40:10):
think it was the combination of the two things coming
together at the same time, and it did. At that
point it kind of felt inevitable. And then Sean Payton
going for two, I thought my heart might eat out
of my chest. As we're sitting there, we're like, don't
don't know, what.

Speaker 4 (01:40:26):
Are those decisions that If you're wrong, you will never
it will never be forgotten. But if you're right, it's
like Sean Potton day him, and then you all move
on together, right, legendary call. If it works, yeah, you
were the absolute goat.

Speaker 8 (01:40:39):
Now listen, if it doesn't work, you're the goat of
a completely different guy.

Speaker 3 (01:40:43):
Yes, it was.

Speaker 11 (01:40:44):
There's still seven and a half minutes left in the game,
so if for some reason he didn't get it, there
was time to atone.

Speaker 8 (01:40:51):
But man they got They got to the Broncos twenty nine,
which means if he didn't go for two tying field goal.

Speaker 6 (01:40:56):
Yep, exactly, boom. It was remarkable, but yeah, very very cool.

Speaker 11 (01:41:02):
I'm glad it didn't end on some kind of controversial
note melting down.

Speaker 8 (01:41:06):
Who cares watching that? Replace almost had that Mary watching
the fans was it was nice?

Speaker 6 (01:41:15):
I felt pretty good about it.

Speaker 4 (01:41:16):
Anyway. Let's we've been on the other side of it,
I know, and some of my favorite people are Philly fans,
so I should not be, you know, so glowedy.

Speaker 6 (01:41:23):
But it was better to be on that side than
the side we've been on.

Speaker 4 (01:41:26):
So there you go, and now it's time for the
whoops French Prime minister resigns after twenty seven days.
