Rosie's Friday Leftovers

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fake news you can trust from the Babylon Bee Democrats
quietly add have you ever raped anyone? To candidate questionnaires.
Now for the real thing, it's Friday. All you need
to know the definition of a preliminary hearing is to
watch a few episodes of Boston Legal or LA Law.

(00:20):
The prosecution presents evidence, the defense attorneys listen, and then
each aside delivers oral arguments. If the evidence is even
close to compelling, the judge asks, if the accused has
a plea not guilty, we go to trial. Guilty, he
goes to jail or worse. What we've seen this week.
In the case against the Tyler Robinson, accused of murdering

(00:43):
conservative activist Charlie Kirk in broad daylight ten months ago,
is not a preliminary hearing, but a re enactment of
the circus like courtroom of OJ Simpson. The judge, Stephen
Groff allows Robinson's lawyers to throw smoke screens into the
court room, hatch half baked conspiracy theories suggesting media coverage

(01:05):
is tainting the jury pool, when in fact, the prosecution
has text messages, videos, written notes, a weapon, a motive
more than enough to move this to trial. If Robinson
pleads not guilty, what Kirk's family and the judicial system
didn't expect is a judge who wants to be a celebrity.

(01:26):
The governor is pulling the state's budgetary belt a little tighter,
asking state agencies to cut another five percent on top
of the ten percent they trim this spring. Revenues are down.
We aren't buying the big ticket items. And each of
us got an income tax rate cut. Take out the
billion we pour into that bucket that reads Property Tax
Relief Fund, and we've got plenty, But that means balancing

(01:48):
what gets taxed. Right now, it's almost all income and property.
Can't heal a compound fracture with a band aid. Be
careful with the stock market. Big money is pouring into AI,
driven stock values to record highs. Remember what Buffet warns
when the market grows larger than the US economy look

(02:09):
out called the Buffet indicator. Take the total US stock
market value and divided by GDP. He says, when that
number gets to two hundred percent, you're playing with fire.
Today it's at two hundred and thirty five percent. Traven
and Leezer Magazine has picked its best destination city in
the country for the second year in a row. Santa Fe,

(02:33):
New Mexico. Great restaurants are galleries, foothills to hike in
three hundred days of Sunshine. Got to watch America's Got Talented.
On Tuesday, Omahak College professor will be on doing Celebrity
Impressions seven o'clock Channel six. His Mark Wahlberg is killer.
At age forty two, Mary Wallace Funk was picked as

(02:54):
one of the elite women in NASA's Mercury thirteen program.
She's successful, fully completed the same rigorous physical and psychological
testing program administered to Mercury seven's male astronauts, even beat
them on several tests. But that was nineteen sixty one,
and as a country we had a hang up about

(03:15):
women doing important things, So man after man walked past
Wally Funk into the rocket ships. Finally, at age eighty two,
she was part of Blue Origins New Shepherd mission with
Jeff Bezos, making her the oldest ever female space traveler
and the only member of Mercury thirteen to reach the

(03:36):
New Frontier. Wallyfunk died yesterday at eighty seven, proving that
dreams have no expiration date. It's back to the future
for Pizza Hut, they've been getting clocked by Dominoes and
Little Caesars for takeout and delivery. The new owners are
encouraging franchisees to bring back the red cups, the checkered tablecloths,

(03:58):
personal pan pizzas, to bring the families back, even the
red roof logo. This is their last shot, or some
two hundred and fifty Pizza Huts could fold by the
end of the year. In this week's Tournament of Rosies,
Don and Cindy Kraft of Lincoln Sweethearts since Northeast High
School this week together now for fifty July. One more

(04:19):
Sign of the Times memes, sent in by listener Pauline.
It reads, if guns can kill people, I guess, pencils
misspell words, cars drive drunk, and spoons will make me fat.
