This is the FCB Radio Network,Real Talk worldwide online at FCB radio dot
com. Kick the tires and lightthe fires, begging you go way through
(00:43):
riding when everything else sounds wrong,This is sounds right with Jen and Scott.
Good morning, Good morning, goodmorning. This is sounds right with
Jen and Scott. I am ScottHounsel and over there in her what I
(01:07):
understand is going to be a veryranty corner is Jennifer van Laar. Jen,
how are you doing a little ranty? Why so ranty? Jennifer?
Okay, You're going to totally getinto this rant and it reminds me that
of a kind of a video segmentwe're going to need to do someday.
An idea I came up with today. So all of my family has like
(01:30):
a flu cold thing after our Thanksgivingtogether, and so I wasn't feeling so
well this morning, but I reallywanted Panera. So I went out grabbed
I did a no contact order,and on the way back, I'm going
to get into this left turn laneto go into my subdivision. Now,
this left turn signal is notorious forbeing about three seconds long when you get
a green, and it takes foreverto rotate back through. Something's messed up
(01:56):
with the rotation on that light.So one of my pet peeves with driving
is people who are going straight throughand on a street and they're in the
fast lane, but then there's aleft turn lane to left of them,
right, so people will stop likeand leave a full car length between them
and the person in front of them, right, jer sorry, don't make
(02:21):
me laugh, all right, mightcough? So anyway, they're about then,
or there's other people that feel likethey even if they're turning into that
left turn lane or going straight,that feel like they have to slow down
to like twenty miles an hour,like a mile before the red light right
when there's no one in front ofthem. So we had both of these
happening. Zam wanting to get back, wanting to and it's a very long
(02:43):
left turn lane, you know whereI'm talking about, yes, and so
trying to get around of there,this person in front of me slams on
their brakes basically to twenty I canbarely and they stop with just barely not
enough room for me to get intothat left turn lane right, and I
can see that it's going to turngreen any second. So I'm like,
I'm kind of up in their rear. They finally go up another inch.
(03:05):
I get in there. I barelyshut up. I barely get through the
left turn, and I'm just infuriatedat that point because people don't understand the
backups in traffic that they create byleaving that extra freaking car link between them
and the person in front of them, so then no one can get in
that left turn lane, and thenI would have had to wait another full
probably five minutes literally to go throughthat signal again, right, because they're
(03:31):
dummy. I would say a lotmore, but Darvo would get mad if
I would use the words I reallywanted to use there. So here's my
idea. You know how, bothyou and I have all these major traffic
peeves and we're total road rage people. Either you or I probably you needs
to be driving and the other oneneeds to have a camera. And we're
(03:52):
going to go around and we're goingto make a series of how not to
be a dumb ass when you're drivingright, and everyone make everyone else mad
about about how you want to see. That would be a full time job
in law. No. We couldprobably find like the top five or ten
there would be maybe two three hoursof sleep at night, and I would
just be driving around swearing at everyonethe rest of the time. But isn't
that the one of the worst onesthough, when people leave that much space?
(04:13):
I understand leaving it. The reasonwhy a few feet why I went
like nuts on it is it happenedliterally yesterday to me. Now I'm in
my little like five hundred feet atfive hundred so, yes, I drive
a little electric dropper and well it'snot a name dropper, it's a dude.
What is not a panty dropper either, it's a so and so.
(04:38):
I'm driving this little tiny electric carand I'm trying to squeeze into this little
little spot in between two cars toget into a left turn lane. This
lady had literally at least a carand a half length in front of her,
probably closer to two car lengths infront of her. But she and
I two to the horn. Shewouldn't pull up, and I was like,
come on, like, let mejust squeeze through here. All I
(04:58):
need is like another foot and youcan any I can make. Note wouldn't
pull up two to the horn severaltimes, and then she probably thinks that
you're just being an impatient, beinga jerk, and of course the guy
behind the is funny because the guythat was behind her even backed up as
far as he could to try tolet me through because she was she had
so much and he was just sittingthere shaking his head. I mean that
(05:24):
gives women drivers a bad name.I don't know if it's because my dad
is a race car driver and taughtme how to drive and taught me a
bunch of things. You should watchthis, you should do that. Maybe
I just see started driving school.Probably not a bad idea. So we
have an old friend joining us thismorning, Jennifer, meaning we've known him
(05:44):
a long time. We're not callinghim old. Well, yes, that's
obviously true. But so I'm gonnalet you introduce our our our guest while
we while we head in here,because he's been such a fixture in our
history as well, and I knewhim first yep. So anyway, our
(06:08):
guest today is uh, Mike Miller, who I've known since our IG Review
days. I can't remember if Mikewas my editor when I was there or
not, but probably, And we'reso glad that he's now joined us over
at Red State and and Mike hasbeen all over this story with CNN's phone
calls that Project Veritas recorded for sixmonths, and we're going to talk to
(06:32):
him some more about that right now. Good morning, Mike. Hello,
how are you guys doing. Ithink you heard you heard our rans.
I was lipening to you. Andbefore we continue, I need you to
digress with me for a minute becauseyou had me at dumbass drivers. I
(06:53):
question, do you have roundabouts outthere everywhere? No, not everywhere,
but we do have you know whatthey are up? We'll see, um
what's happening here? So I livein kind of a knife Indianapoli suburb.
The mayor some years back went toEurope and he fell in love with roundabouts,
so they slap him up everywhere here. I wrote a whole piece one
(07:15):
time that was humorous based on irritation. But it's my belief you need to
get a certificate, certificate or astamp or something on your damn driver's license.
It allows you to drive in thoseidiot agreed. Oh my god,
I mean I've seen you know.I don't have any times or how often
you guys go through him, butI mean I've what's a good example the
(07:39):
last time ladies coming around could havebeen a man coming around kind of relatively
so season me pull up stops inthe middle of the roundabout to let me
in. Bro right. It's alsoone slams into her from behind. I've
always had issues with drivers too,so anyway, I just had to make
(07:59):
that point because and you need tobe taught how to drive in a damn
roundabout or keep your ass out ofit. They put one in the most
random place though, for a realquick out by. There's this two mass
casino up in northern Santa Barbara County, and then there's um, there's like
a not if you don't take theone on one to get there, you
take this back road because it's normallynot as congested, and at this intersection
(08:22):
where you would before you would haveturned left to go to the road to
the casino. Apparently they've had alot of bad crashes there because it's a
little nowhere and it's a big intersection, so they put a round about in
there. And it's just so weirdto just be growing along at like seventy
miles an hour in the middle ofthese farm fields and cow pastures, and
then all of sudden they do thatbecause obviously Indiana corn you know, it's
(08:43):
not in the broad right right outwhere there's cornfields in all four directions.
There's a damn roundabout. Yeah.Anyway, So anyway, yes, back
to James O'Keefe and parting Veritas.Was that awesome him or what I mean?
You guys obviously watching the video rightwhen he so, I mean just
(09:03):
to kind of fill people in ifyou haven't seen this, which would surprise
me. So James James O'Keefe ProjectRatas sitting at his desk, explains he's
about to call into CNN's morning Businessconference call. Now obviously someone has had
to give him this. I'd liketo noodle of you guys do that a
little bit. How did this happen? But so he's live streaming this thing.
(09:28):
He gets Zucker gets on the phoneand you know, you guys know
how O'Keefe he's got to kind oflaid back. He doesn't get irritated.
He irritates the crap out of otherpeople. So when he asks him,
do um, I just have acouple of questions for you, and you
know, like Zucker is going,oh my god, And I'd just like
to know if you still think CNNis um, what do they call themselves?
(09:54):
I do it all the time.Now it's the independent journalist. No,
no, no, what's what's thepast? Starned? I do it
all the time. Um, thesomething of news. I just put up
with the trademark. I know thisthing. Wait a minute, I gotta
look at this. This is justunbelievable. Him the most trusted name of
news. Yeah, they've gone.They've gone with that forever. So so
O'Keefe says, do you still thinkdo you look at yourself as the most
(10:18):
trusted name of news? And ofcourse Zucker doesn't say anything, and I'll
keep you so, and he goes, because you know, I've been listening
to some phone calls and I don'tthink you guys are independent journalists. So
then, obviously, and I'm sayingthis for people who haven't seen it.
So Zucker says something to the effectof, uh, thanks for all your
questions, everybody. I think inlight of that, well we'll go ahead
(10:41):
and set up a new system andget back with you. We'll do the
rest of the call later. Now, what I immediately thought is what's going
through his mind? Right? Sohe's he's living you know, he's he's
going crazy. How did that bastard, though Keefe get into our effing conference
call? And it just he's gotto be losing his mind, right,
(11:03):
correct. That's that's probably the bestpart about this is that he just probably
I mean, as I as Iretweeted the article yesterday, I put I
think I think that Zucker is goingto have to change more than his conference
call number. Didn't you put thaton flash? Yeah? I sent it
to you as I was telling youthat, I was telling you that Twitter.
(11:24):
But I mean, it's it's tome, it's it's hilarious because he
probably was like ash oh. Andthen you know the people that are in
there, you know, they're panicstricken because when he tells him, we've
been recording you for We've got acouple of months calls here, these people
are thinking, what the hell didI have I said in the last two
months or done That might ruin therest of my career if I want to
(11:46):
get away from the most trusted nameof news at some point. So I
just would have loved to be thefly on the proverbial CNN wall and watched
that all go down, because youknow, Zucker was living because he's embattled
anyway, right people also look atif you also look at his at the
CNN COM's Twitter channel, they're outin full damage control right now, right.
(12:11):
Yeah, So I put that upat that second piece up last night,
as you guys know. I think, by the way, did you
see where um Levin retweeted the originalone this morning after after Donald retweeted it
yesterday? So I felt nice,yes, and joined the president retweeted club
I have and I, um,that's the first time to see because I
(12:33):
don't do Twitter. I mean Iwish you know, I have a large
Facebook page, as you guys know, but I really wish I had started
Twitter back in the day. Butyeah, it's last night. So I
put the second piece up and theyhad um I don't know if I saw
that, but you know, they'rewhat they say. You know, some
legal people think that, you know, this could be a felony. And
(12:54):
then I thought O'Keefe's response on Twitterwas hilarious because he's bring it theysically and
boy, yeah he wasn't kid andhe went after it. And see the
problem is is that most other peopleand this is the point that the media
hates most of the people would havebowed to that. Most of the people
would, oh, we're so sorry, we we you know, it's we're
(13:16):
gonna take it down. We're sorry, We're sorry, We're sorry. And
O'Keefe has beat enough lawsuits where he'skind of like, bring it, sure,
sure he is. That's why helaughed it off because I think who
was he wasn't there an actress hewas following or somebody some years back,
and I think it was a felony, and by the time it was over,
it was reduced to like basically aminor misdemeanor and a little fine.
(13:37):
He's not worried at all. Butyou're right, I mean, you know,
if you had any integrity. Wait, I think we lost some Zucker
and CNN at integrity. But yeah, you do what you would do what
you said, you know. AndI don't know. I'm I'm not I'm
not of the mind, you know. Initially, when I'm looking at this,
thinking, oh my gosh, youknow, these guys are already swirling
(13:58):
down the toilet, they're just gonnas faster. But the more I think
about it, it's just kind ofa microcosm of everything that's been going on
over four years. I mean,we're more politically divided, more racially divided
than we ever have been, andof course Obama purposely did that for eight
years. And now with the workthat the liberal media and the Democrat Party
(14:20):
has done to try to destroy it. Donald Trump from the nanosecond he was
announced or he was projected as thewinner in twenty sixteen, I'm thinking,
this country is so divided. Dothey really care? I mean, i'd
like you guys opinion, you know, like the CNN really care because Bank
you know, I was laughing atmyself this morning, thinking maybe to drive
their driver ratings up because they geta bunch of clowns to come back because
(14:43):
they called Tucker Carls and a whitesupremacist. I mean, it's just crazy
out there. We've never seeing thepolitical climate like, but I'm wondering just
how much. I mean, there'sbeen times where Project Veritas is released stuff
and it's been a big deal,and other times it's been a dropping the
bucket at the brial bucket of problems, and so I'm really wondering what they
(15:05):
have. I mean, if suddenlythey've they come out and they're they're saying
that they were taking talking points fromthe Biden campaign or whatever. That's different.
That's a issue for them, andso I think I think that I
think that it will all depend uponhow much they got. I mean,
I can't imagine that those calls weresuper innocent either. I mean, I'm
(15:28):
sure that they were ragging on Trumpand all sorts of stuff. So I
mean, I can only imagine howfar it goes. Well, yeah,
go ahead, No, I agreethat I think that it depends on how
far it goes. And but Ithink also one point, and hopefully this
isn't too much of a digression,is that like for instance, some of
(15:48):
us on Red State will sometimes haveconference calls and we might yuck it up
or talk, you know, makefun of liberal politicians or never Trump people.
But to me, it's I don'thave necessarily problem with that. But
the problem is that they are tryingto, like you said, the most
trusted name of news in there.That's a serious journalism. And at Red
(16:10):
State, we do journalism, butwe're we're right out front with that.
We're Red State, we're conservative.Everyone knows that we have a bias,
so we're not trying to cover up. We give the facts. We don't
put out things that are not true, but we definitely amus so we're not
venomous like the left right, Well, we're not venomous while pretending to be
(16:32):
unbiased. And there's the thing,you know, back to I think back
to my original point and then andthen Scott's point. Um if um,
you know when I was talking about, I don't know what this is gonna
have a much impacted at all onthem in terms of, for example,
to talk to Carlson thing, becausethey basically call called Carlson a rite supremacist
(16:55):
on air. So you know,they talked in the other I think they
released three last night, and oneof them they talked about not covering you
know, Trump pursuing the legal activitiesand stuff. I don't know if they
follow them through because I never watchedCNN. UM, but I think again,
secondly to Scott's point, unless there'ssome way that this drags in the
biding people, I don't think it'snot going to be that big of a
(17:18):
deal. But I love it becauseit's embarrassing. It's still embarrassing. Still
got to be embarrassing. Yeah,and it should. If anything, it
has Jeff Zucker and all those othersandons people looking over their shoulder all the
time or constantly wondering if they're beinglistened to or watched. And to me,
that's awesome. It also has circlingall the sharks circling at CNN wondering
who gave him the number? Wow? Absolutely, I mean can you see
(17:44):
that they're walking down the hall andlooking at me. Why goes you know,
looking at the corner of their eye. People they're like, oh,
you know, and it's just allthe backbiting and finger pointing that's going on
at CNN right and now he's livingrent free in their heads right, Like
to me, that's the biggest Yeah, what does he have? What does
he have? Yeah? What ifhe got? And like I said,
(18:04):
they're all thinking, like what haveis there anything we said? You know,
they probably had a meeting like ina in a sound proved booth andwhere
an abasement you know, to talkabout We got to think this through,
you know, we got to tryto rack our brains and maybe they got
maybe they got tapes. I mean, maybe they've recorded their meetings or whatever,
and they're they're like feverishly trying tofigure out if they said anything or
(18:25):
if anything happened along the line Scottof like what you said, I mean,
you know, oh gosh, rememberwhen we talked to the Biden.
I don't know, it's it's funWe've gotten from the Biden campaign that yeah,
yeah, Joe's pissed, right,So oh man, it's just funny
because you know, I mean,they're obviously preaching to their choir into an
(18:45):
extent. Foctions was doing the samething. But I think just the embarrassment
of it. And again, youknow, the people above Zucker can't like
that, you know, because atone at some point where that guy's gone,
you got to think, at somepoints can buy this thing and straighten
it out. I suggested that maybeTrump aught to buy it, just like
(19:07):
as if they would sell it tothem, right, But I just just
to change it around a little bit. Right, So we got to take
a quick little break. But Mike, we'll come back with you in just
a minute and kind of wrap thisup and talk a little bit more about
the fall out of this. Sowe'll be right, we'll be right back
with more sounds, Right, Jenand Scott, do you feel like everyone
is yelling at each other but noone is listening to each other? Or
(19:27):
themselves. I'm Cura Davis, hostof Just Listen to Yourself, a weekly
exercise and critical thinking and drawing ourtalking points all the way out to their
logical conclusions, because I believe whenwe take the time to examine our own
talking points, we can realize we'renot always saying what we think we're saying.
Download Just Listen to Yourself with CuraDavis on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts,
(19:51):
or wherever you get your podcasts.This sounds right, Jen and Scott Radio
Network, Welcome back. This soundsright with Jen and Scott, where we've
(20:18):
been talking with Mike Miller, fellowRed State writer about CNN and Jeff Sucker
and James O'Keefe and how he's nowliving rent free in the heads of pretty
much everyone who participates in those weeklyCNN editorial calls. I think they were,
But is that what they were,Mike, Yeah, they're they're they're
they're they're there morning, they doit every morning. I guess kind of
(20:41):
point. Yeah, they're conference calls. You know, with all of the
big shots at CNN, they havethe narrative correct exactly and you know you
obviously see it. Someone leaked oneof those calls or leaked something from it
a few months ago, or amI just imagining that. I don't know,
I didn't see it. Did eitherof you see any um? Obviously
(21:03):
we don't watch CNN, but anybodyit would have been interesting to pop in
there last night or if there areany you know, on Twitter or YouTube
or whatever. Did they cover this? And how of course they didn't cover
it the way they should have.Yeah, they did. Is we we've
been targeted and it's illegal? Right? Oh? Yeah, that's the funniest
(21:25):
part of it. I mean,and you know what's extremely funny is that
they were the I don't know ifyou're the tweet you were talking about last
night from CMT CNN Comms that saidthat it was that legal experts would say
that it was potentially illegal. Yeah, I have it right here, and
someone someone tweeted back, isn't JeffreyTubin your legal expert, man? There
(21:48):
was some brutal There was some brutalto he was he was asleep at the
wheel or something response his tweet,So you got okay, so you've got
and ends okay. Whoever's listening tous legal experts say this maybe a felony
we've referred it to law enforcement.So then okay, that was at five
thirty eight. Within less than anhour, O'Keefe tweets our legal experts says
(22:15):
or Jeff Sucker is just mad atembarrassed, and then he puts the laughing
emoji there and then he's got tostay tuned below and then obviously he rolled
out three of those things. Umthat night, I liked his line somewhere
he said, Um, what didhe say? He said, he said
he was going to he's going torelease recordings daily like a like a December
(22:37):
advent calendar. That nice, youknow what? When he tweeted about two
But if he had put the eggplant emoji, that would have just been
like a chef kiss. Somebody askedme if who was it was? Was
it if if Zucker was Weinstein's minyme or if um, maybe it was
Stelter, maybe Stelter was with Suckersminime or whatever. But again, Shelter
(23:03):
does look like a mini me doesShelter was raging on who is he raggon
on yesterday about not being he saidsomething was just not journalistic, you know,
it wasn't I mean the journalism thatgoes on at CNN for those people
to call anybody out about anything relativeto journalism of just laugh out loud,
hysterical, right. You know it'salso funny is as CNN talking about well
(23:29):
this, legal experts may say thisto felony, we referred it to a
law enforcement or I guess funny tome is I've had someone say that about
one of my stories before. Ohwow, a big story from last year
or from twenty nineteen. But ohguess who law enforcement never called me because
it wasn't There wasn't anything illegal aboutexposing someone's sexual harassment. I don't even
(23:52):
know what you're talking about, butI was just I was just referring to
it. I said about someone's sexualas California, right that you went after?
Yeah, yeah it was a congresswoman. Yes. So how do you
guys, I mean, as conservatives, how can you stand it out there?
I mean, I just I havea friend and I went to visit
(24:15):
her two or three times over overthe last I don't know, eighteen months
maybe, And she lived in asuburb of Portland of all places, and
you know we went and walked around, not at night or whatever, but
even in her nice little neighborhood Imean, or community or whatever. It's
just liberal as hell. I mean, how do you guys deal with that?
Well, both of us live inprobably some of the conservative strongholds of
(24:40):
California, so I mean that somewhatmakes it easier. My my congress person,
my state assembly person, and mystate senator are all Republican. Oh
nice, at my state senator's Democrat. But the other two and almost our
entire city council, just one citycouncil representative is Democrat. The restaurant Republican.
(25:03):
You guys, you guys have thesame thing going on that you see
in Oregon and Washington. I mean, you get out of the large metro
areas and you see lots of conservativepeople. But if you've got a Democrat
like Newsome and then like in Portland, I'm sorry in Oregon. You know,
Portland drives the politics in the state, Eugene and the metro areas.
(25:26):
And that's why I don't think Isaw the piece I put up. I
don't know, a month or sixweeks ago maybe, but and it's just
well, it couldn't been that longbecause it was after the election. But
it's mostly symbolic. But the twotwo the two counties in Oregon that voted
to leave Oregon and become part ofIdaho. Do you know that whole thing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ithink that's hilarious. You know.
(25:48):
What it really comes down to isthat I have no problem living in California
for the most part. I mean, obviously, taxation is a problem.
I have a huge problem with ourgovernor. There's a lot of things that
are wrong with with California. Butbeing able to not have to shovel snow
and half then other things that goalong with it. I mean, being
as close to the beaches as Iam. I mean, I'm thirty minutes.
(26:10):
How far away are you for thirtyminutes? Oh that's nice. Yeah,
So I mean I'm right. There'sthere's a highway between me and Ventura,
which is you know, and it'sI'm it's that that highway to turn
on. That highway is a quartermile from my house. So I hop
on that highway. Thirty minutes later, I'm in Ventura. Uh. And
(26:33):
there's a few beaches out there thatare great, and so it's it's nice
to be able to do that.That the problem that I really do have,
and I think Jen would agree withthis is that we have now liberals
moving into the conservative area. Sowhere I live primarily, there's a lot
of liberals that are moving in here, but they they forget to mention.
And this is one of my biggestpet peeves about is they're moving here because
(26:56):
La sucks, right, and thatthey I'm here and they're all, we're
gonna We're gonna go up to SantaClarita. Why did you come here?
Well, because it's nicer neighborhoods.So what do you want to do?
Well, I want to run foroffice up here, and exactly like La,
Yeah that's happening, and yeah that'shappening in Texas. I mean Oregon
hates Californians now, I mean theLiberals, right, don't come or come
(27:19):
and then just don't stay very longand get the hell out of here.
So I'm going to put in asa woman so I can be heard of.
No, So I agree that withthe snow shoveling thing. It was
funny because we had so My middleson lives in Madison, Wisconsin, and
they just got their first snow rightbefore they came out for him and his
(27:40):
wife came out for Thanksgiving and sothen I'm also about thirty minutes from Ventura.
So we've took them up to aVentura on Friday to go to the
harbor and go have a sunset dinnerand not have to wear five layers of
stuff and the beautiful weather and andso I told my son, is it
this is the reason why I putup with the bs. I don't have
to shovel I don't have to becold, you know, six months of
(28:03):
the year at all. I mean, he doesn't work in politics or anything,
but all my kids are very politicallyinformed and consume political stuff all the
time. He's a big Ben Shapirofan. So I had to have a
few talks with I was going tosay I knew what the politics as soon
as he said informed, because you'renot yet. Well, I've I've always
(28:27):
let them. I mean I've talkedto them since they were little. The
thing I always taught them, AndI guess this goes back to even living
in California. I didn't live inCalifornia then, but I would have raised
my kids the same way here isI always tried to give them all the
information, and I told them whatI thought, but encourage them to come
and debate with me. And whenthey were little, they'd asked, you
know, or the differences between Republicansand Democrats, and I said, the
(28:49):
main thing you need to remember isthat Republicans think that you're smart enough to
make your own choices about your life. And that's not always the case.
But you know, it's trying todumb it down for them or water it
down, and that you're smart enoughto do all make all those choices,
and that government is bad at makingthose choices, and liberals or Democrats think
(29:10):
that they are the smart ones andyou need to be told what to do
with your life. It's like athumbnail, what's the old saying Republicans think
Democrats are wrong, and Democrats thinkRepublicans are evil. And that's that's pretty
much, you know, been exacerbatedthrough four years of Trump. But um,
I think I put this on Yeah, I wrote this on Slack and
(29:32):
you said something about it too,Jennifer, because you joined us along the
way when I was at I Jr. But we had a ball during the
Obama administration. You know, it'sbeing on the outside throwing the rocks at
the house instead of being in thehouse being thrown at that was kind of
fun. So I mean, Ithink, yeah, either way, I
think we're conservative media is going tobe fine because we were totally fine through
(29:53):
the Obama years. The liberals werefine through the last four Rush Limbaugh has
always credited his um quick rise,not quick rise to fame, but when
he really started getting big in theeighties to the Bill Clinton administration. He
said, I just should send hima Christmas ham every year for because he
(30:14):
was merciless with him. So anyway, we're gonna be fine, you guys.
Yeah, ramp up was between ninetytwo and ninety four. Yeah,
with the whole contract with America,right right, Yeah, that was Rush
is big, big, And againI think that it's it's it's good to
be in the in the opposition,and well, the power of the opposition
is you don't you can't be heldaccountable for anything because you don't control it,
(30:37):
right, you can just get toneedle and needle and needle. So
I'm thinking that you guys don't soundlike you're all into the unity and time
to heal thing either, right,white ass, there we go. Now,
you don't get to call us racistand literally and that world tell us
that we're literally killing people for fouryears, you know, twelve if you
(31:00):
the Obama years and then turn aroundand want unity, No, screw you.
And that's how I feel about theseLA people moving out to my town
in Seni Valley. Just like withScott's, our real estate prices are going
through the roof because we're just overthe line where I'm actually in a different
county. I'm in Ventura County.So people looking to get out of all,
not just La Proper, but theentire county are moving here in droves.
(31:21):
You can't find rental houses. They'regone within like a day because we
have the little more freedom here untilNuson started his little boot to the neck
of the remaining freedoms that we have. So but they come out here and
they want to just change it alllike and first then they want to change
it and then be oh, well, but you have to be unified.
To them. Unity is just agreewith everything that I say. We're doing
(31:45):
the same thing. It's the samething with the Democrat Party. In tolerance.
What tolerant means to the that wastalking about tolerance right, What tolerant
means to Democrats is you have tobe tolerant of us of our policies,
of what we don't believe, whatwe do believe, our morals or lack
thereof, and if you're not,then you're a pick racist, homophobe,
(32:07):
islamophobe, white supremacist, and that'swhat they do. So I think I'll
go ahead and put your guys downon as a maybe in terms of accepting
that accepting that Ola brand from MelissaMalano right, Oh, you know it's
great. I'm gonna be writing aboutthis later at Red State. One of
my friends because I don't go intoLa. She posted that there's this store
(32:30):
kits In on Melrose, which it'sbeen for a long time. It's been
just this a well known kind ofexclusive, trendy boutique, and they've been
putting a series of things on theirwindows. I'm calling out people who say
defund the police. So they puta picture of Elissa Milano and a Santa
(32:50):
hat on their on their front windowand they said, and above it says
David, there's a squirrel in theirbackyard. Call the police, Like as
if Alissa's saying that because she hada thing probably a month ago where she
thought that there was an intruder inher backyard and she's in my county.
She's in my county, and shewasted probably twenty UM cop cars and a
(33:12):
helicopter out there searching. And itwas her neighbor out in private land behind
her fence. I'm hunting squirrels.Yeah, was wearing Was she wearing a
knit mask? She did not havea mask. She just has a the
picture of her with the with thecrochet or whatever. Yeah, yeah,
(33:36):
yeah, but see she's calling outdefund the police. But then she's calling
them but anyway, and then thiskits in. There also have pictures of
um, who else, of Garcetti, who's to fund the police? Which
I think that's amazing of them sincethey're on Melrose, they're in Hollywood,
they've been part of having to boardup their windows for this BLM crap and
(34:00):
they're calling it out so things mightbe changed. Three of the left,
nos, no bounds. When youwere talking about that, I thought about,
um, there is a city Portland, a official. I forget.
You may be familar with the story, but she's been she's in a big
defund movement and we don't need toplay. Yeah, yeah, she was
a one. She called nine.She thought, you don't need nine one
(34:22):
one either, so she calls nineone one on the lift driver or uber,
I don't remember, because he wouldn'troll his window up and wanted to
leave out. And these people aretheir hypocrisy, nos, no bounds.
I mean, it never has well. And you were saying about unity.
The other thing that unity and theword that goes along beauty, and tell
her it's is compromise. For theLiberals, there is Compromise means you surrender
(34:45):
everything. And that's the advantage Scottand I have having been in California during
all of the Kamala Harris years andwatching what happened, especially with gun control
in the state. Anyone, anyshow of weakness, any show of an
inch of compromise on our side,I was just taken to the cleaners and
just that just made them see,Okay, now we can just get everything
(35:07):
we want because they they're showing thatthey want to compromise, but their compromise
was give us everything we want.Thinking of Kammi Sue I when there were
seven were there seventeen of them atone point I had nicknames for all of
them, you know, the Democratscandidates, And my nickname for her was
Willie's true toy. I thought thatwas kind of a nice film. Yeah,
(35:30):
no, I don't want to thinkabout it. Well, you know
what, I don't want to thinkabout Mike. Since we've got only a
few more minutes left with you,I thought we could all just take a
quick moment. I know we didit on our first episode, but the
reason why I wanted to get bringit back a little bit is is Mike
also had a show that was rightUh was after Hours when we were originally
(35:52):
over on VLR. His producer wasalso producer Jet. That's right, I
forgot about Jessica. Was your prettythink that they gave us? Yeah?
I think that the two Mikes werethe ones that turned us on to jess
They have their show there started beforeours did. But then when on the
radio station, they were after us. I used to have friends ask,
(36:15):
how do you guys all in like, um the same rumor? I said,
Are you kidding? I said,I said, the other Mic is
in San Diego, I'm in Indianapolis, and Jessica is in what is it
Jacksonville? I think her Gamesville,Florida. But have you had any contact
with her in the last whatever?I well, obviously since she's passed.
We we haven't talked about we haven't. We haven't, but she wait a
(36:37):
minute, she passed away. Wellthat's an awkward way of bringing up some
bad news. I thought you knew, Mike, I did not know that.
Yeah, Jess passed away in Marchor April. Oh wow, from
we have we don't know. Idon't know the Oh my god. But
I had seen her in October oflast year. I went to disney World
(37:00):
and so we we all wanted towe we did a little bit of so
awkward that this is happening on theshow right now, but I know I'm
sitting here thinking I can't believe it. Yeah, we we we dedicated our
first episode. But I thought itwould be to take a moment to let
you share your thoughts on Jess andhow much how much fun she was to
(37:21):
have on as the producer on theshow. And she was super fun man,
because you know, we weren't payingher and she she loved doing it.
And I don't know, you guysknow more about her, maybe even
than I do, because you know, we stopped doing our show. I
don't know how long after you whatever, but um so parents from the Dominican
(37:42):
her Dad incidentally, was was reallyyou know, against the conservatives, who
were you know, ragging on illegalimmigration, and she convinced him at some
point after working on him, Dad, look at how you and mom and
you know, you know, arewhatever relatives? Um, how long you
waited and why should these people takecut? So that was fun. But
(38:04):
she was just she was just alot of fun to work with. She
liked to laugh and la her laughor giggle, you know, whenever you
make crack a joke or something,she'd start cracking up. She was a
consummate professional, though she was goodat what she did. Yeah, yeah,
that's kind of you assumed that Iknew that, but you know,
but it's fine. I'm glad.I'm glad you told me. Actually it
(38:28):
was a little late for me too. Yes, man. Anyway, Well,
with coronavirus, I mean it's herpeople. Everyone has kind of has
kind of been in there, Bunkers, I guess said to March, and
it seems like March was yesterday onone hand, and it seems like it's
twenty five years ago on the other. It's easy to get lost with that.
But I think I think for whatJesse gave all of us and probably
(38:49):
you and house them too. Youmight have been more of a radio professional
whenever you started with her, butI definitely wasn't and neither was Scott.
And what I noticed too, whenI whenever I would kind of get toast
with howsum if you weren't there,jess knew exactly when to pipe in as
kind of that third person if theshow needed to get back on track or
(39:10):
was. She never said to thehost anything to correct us or anything like
that. It was just her exampleof how she handled things. And when
she jumped in, yeah, she'dput it. I started needed to be
in if you if you started toslash over the side of the channel or
get get out of out of topic, jess would be like, hey guys,
what about this and bring it rightback in and and again, just
(39:32):
such a you. I think younailed it. Consummate professional, even though
she was unpaid, even though shedid the goodness of her heart, even
though I mean she had a goodtime doing it, but she was good.
He loved it, you know,she um. I started doing a
show, my own show with aguy in down in Jacksonville was putting together
whole network and Jessica was worked forhim, Tom what's his name? And
(39:57):
so I did the show. Tomwas after me to do a show for
quite wow. And then later,you know, I brought Michael on and
I thought that was fun. Wehad a good time. You guys.
Um, what's he up to now? I say, he has a brand
new baby. I think I didn'tsee that. I think maybe we didn't
see that. Yeah, he gotremarried and then so now he has a
sixth child. At the same time, I'm going to become a grandma,
(40:19):
which we used to always joke aboutback in the day because our oldest kids
are the same age, Like who'sgoing to be a grandparent first? Yeah,
So I'm laughing at him that hehas to have the sleepless sights now,
and he's laughing at me that I'mgoing to be a grandma. I
love it. Let me do onemore real quick Jessica thing. So I
used to do when it was oneof my just my show, which is
why I brought that up. Idid a Looney Tunes Friday segment and we
(40:39):
played the Looney Tunes music in awhole bit, and I would just get
her crying laughing because I would Iwould collect these things you know, through
the week, is it like Floridaman stories, you know, and all
kinds of just different like stupid craftthat people were doing, and she would
just laugh so hard and it wasso much fun. So I'm really sorry
to hear that she's good person.We we miss her, and I'm sorry
(41:02):
that I had to be the onethat broke the news to you. But
we always like to do little remembrancesof her here and there, because absolutely,
I don't think. I don't thinkany of the three of us would
have the notoriety that we do,or the or the platform we do if
it wasn't for Jess and what shewhat she was willing to do for us
back then. And so I Imean, I'm always eternally grateful for her,
(41:23):
me too, and always with alwayswith a smile. And I know
there were times when she would doit when maybe she didn't feel quite up
to it. I just know,because that's how human beings worked, and
you know, she might have hadsomething else that was pulling at her from
another direction, but again, consummateprofessional and missed by a lot of people.
I would do it. She didn'tdo it. It was her.
It was her evil twin sister Julia, who would do it. Yeah,
(41:46):
I forgot about Julie. Remember,sounded exactly like Jess. Was the same
mannerisms as Jess, but Jess's sisterquote unquote. And I was like,
hey, I've never seen Julia andJess in the same room, but I'm
thoroughly you're you're thinking that was ascam. It was. It was totally.
It was just just setting us up. She was always Julie. We
(42:07):
don't know for sure one way orthe other, to be clear, but
we always joked with her that onthe days that she want to put up
with Scott's crap, she just camein as Julia and was all business.
She had me too, because Ithought for sure it was Julie. But
she was well informed to you guys. I mean she was you know,
she paid attention to stuff and andfor a while when I was again it
(42:27):
was just me, you know,I would have her kind of I said,
I want you to talk more becauseyou know stuff you know we'll do,
you know, we'll do kind ofa co host thing every once in
a while. She liked it.She really enjoyed. We did say earlier
that as crappy as twenty twenty gotafter March April time frame, like maybe
maybe the Lord was just helping hernot to have to see all of us
(42:49):
or deal with it, you know, at least that's that makes me feel
better about it. I talked intext with her and she she was seemed
fine. I mean, obviously it'smedical stuff she was dealing with, but
seemed fine. And then solid postson Facebook. It was heartbreaking. But
again, thanks Mike so much forsharing your thoughts about jess It. What's
funny you guys? It was agood time. Yeah, thank and thanks
(43:12):
for joining us. Today. We'regoing to be heading into our next break,
but we wanted to thank you forjoining us and let you go.

for you and looking for your fantasticwriting, they can obviously find me at
Red State. I'm not a I'mnot a Twitter guy. I've talked to

(44:44):
the FCB Radio Network, and welcomeback again to Sounds Right with Jen and
Scott. We just had that greatconversation remembering our producer Jess with Mike Miller,
who also had had her for usare on his first radio show,
and that was sad that we hadto inform him of that and a little
(45:07):
awkward, but good memories of jessit went it went over okayion, I
mean at the same time, likeeverything was fine and yeah, I handled
it well too. He was like, oh, I didn't know that.
Well, I'm really sad to hearthat. I mean, things happen where,
you know, especially what you said, with everyone being as busy as
they've been, and it's hard tokeep up with everything the election and this
(45:30):
and that, and again also like, I mean, how do you bring
that up with people? Hey,by the way, right our person and
you know, so, I meanit's awkward, yes, but I think
everyone handled it with grace and dignity. Well. Plus I think for our
listeners, who among us has notbeen in a completely awkward situation at one
point or another, And so youknow, they get to just live through
(45:54):
ours, right, It's time.Right. So I've got a couple surprised
things for you today the break youweren't going to tell me, I was
like, no, you gotta tellme. So my first one is about
I guess about like one of ourfellow Los Angelenos Native Californians, who one
(46:19):
whom you know personally who married wayout of her league in some in some
ways. Can you guess who we'retalking about who you went to high school
with. Oh yeah, so stotwardto high school with Megan Markle and uh,
obviously she married. I went tothe Brothers school. She went to
(46:42):
an all girls Catholic school called Acar. Went to spick Aside before you went
to Saint Francis quick as I Beforewe go there, I was watching my
youngest son. He's into all thingsmovies, right, and so he wants
to watch all these different movies inseries and he has a YouTube channel where
he reviews them. And we werewatching Grease lately, the first Grease and
that cha chaw that came and didthe whole dance thing, and she was
(47:07):
from Saint Bernadette's or whatever, andfor some reason I just thought of Megan
Markle. Anyway, So Megan's betterhalf red or half whatever half. He's
in the news today because he saidCOVID nineteen is what we get for messing
(47:29):
with mother Nature. So let metell you a few little takes on that
first that I'll get yours. SoI quote tweeted it saying, hashtag never
forget kind of this kind of stupidthinking is what happens when you sent your
kids to expensive elite prep schools.And then my friend Anthony says that or
ignorance is an STD like. Oh, and then our other friend Mickey,
(47:52):
she says, that's what we getfor messing with mother nature, this sort
of a man whose parents are barelyyou know, just send enough cousins to
be able to marry. Oh,so what do you think about Harry?
First off, I think the dudesgot Stockholm hardcore, because I mean,
(48:19):
without getting Megan must have magic powersbecause and I think we all know to
what you're referring. Yes, that'sthe way I'm gonna put it. I
can't say what I would normally besaying because we're on the air, but
he is she must have some sortof magic associated with her, because no,
(48:43):
if I were a royal person,if I were royalty, no way
would anyone ever be able to talkme out of maintaining my role as a
member of the royal family. Iunderstand this whole, like I'm in love
with her, and I get it. But the idea that he's just like,
yeah, we're going to forsake ourtitles and our our our role within
(49:06):
the royal family to go like livein, They're never going to be normal.
They're trying to play this game.They're like, Oh, we're gonna
lead normal life. Don't give methis. Yeah, from our gated to
state in Montecito, right right,That's what I'm getting at. It's like
it is like this is not somesort of normal never before done, and
whose lifestyle contributes more to alleged globalwarming and climate change? Yours and mine
(49:31):
or Harry and Megan's. Well again, the helicopter rides in, the private
jets and all the rest of thestuff that they always do, and you
you're gonna lecture us on global warmingand messing with the planet. Yeah,
it's like, no, this itcomes out. It wasn't messing with mother
nature. It was whatever mutation happenedin Wuhan, and however it happened and
(49:57):
it got out. I mean,if anything, China mess is a mother
nature way more than any other anyother countries. So why don't you go
lecture them, Harry, Let's seehow well that goes over. You go
get on a slow boat to Beijingbecause or maybe I don't know, what's
less, what's more climate friendly?You go and have a conference there and
tell them all the things they're doing, right, good bike, go go
(50:20):
fly with Greta Thunberg. Yes toOh my god, let's make that happen
Greta Thunberg and Prince Harry lecturing theChinese Communist Party. Yes. Yeah.
That's my biggest complaint with a lotof this is that the hatred that the
United States gets, and yet we'resuch a small fraction of the global global
(50:45):
situation. Again, China is China, India, these two countries, you
know, with what a third ormore of the population of the world in
these two countries, and the grosspollution that occurs there, and we're being
lectured on it. Right. I'velong said that I am a environmental conservative.
(51:09):
I believe that we need to takethe steps that we can to reduce
pollution, not because of some boogeymanof global warming that's going to kill us
all, but because it's nice tohave a planet that doesn't have pollution.
It's just nice. So I havesolar on my house, we use water
conserving devices. We I drive anelectric car. Uh. You know these
(51:31):
sorts of things where people are like, oh, you're such a hippie or
you're such such a liberal. No, I just you want to know why
I drive an electric car. It'sbecause it's so it's one inexpensive and two
uh it's it's almost it's it's almostcheaper now for me to drive that than
it is for me to have agas powered vehicle that I have all the
(51:53):
upcape and uh and maintenance on.So I I mean not to have mentioned
the ultimate freedom, which is anindividual individualism that conservatives allegedly want, right
can be found by if we canhave say you have solar, and you
have one of those Tesla power walls, and you can actually store your own
(52:14):
electricity and power your home. That'sone last thing you need to be tied
to any government or agency for,correct I mean, I don't go to
the gas station. I've freed myselfof the need to go there. You
look at it from the point ofview that I would normally have spent a
couple hundred bucks a month on gas, especially in California or we're north of
(52:35):
three dollars a gallon, But acouple hundred bucks a month is not unheard
of. And so if suddenly I'mdoing it from home where I have my
solar on my roof, that Icharge my vehicle in my garage with that
I it's it's fantastic. But again, to go back to the whole,
like Harry lecturings thing or the royalfamily or whatever, I want to say
(52:58):
to them, like steps are youtaking right? Where? Where have you
eliminated your carbon footprint? It's tome, it's it's such this, this
is, this is where the climatethe client the climate hysteria. Folks lose
me because normally I would be atotal guy, was like, yeah,
(53:21):
we should do more to preserve theenvironment. We should, we should uh
incentivize it where the the individuals cando it, not demand it and not
regulate it in such a way.But again it's just there's no there's a
difference between what I want, whatI'm advocating for, and Harry is advocating
for, and that is the roleof government in it. I don't think
(53:43):
the only thing that I think therole of government should have is is incentivizing
the shift to renewables. I don'tthink that they should do it with the
spare dollars. I think they shoulddo it by getting rid of a regulation
and and that sort of stuff.But the yeah, go ahead, yeah,
(54:07):
But back on Harry and Megan's MagicalSpell or whatever. It's not just
related to if you were a royal. This woman married someone she knew,
lived in another country, on anothercontinent, and had an extremely close bond
with his brother since they their motherpassed away, and goes in there and
(54:29):
basically horns in between him and hisbrother and sister in law. Well,
the whole time they were dating,allegedly everything was good, because you'd see
the pictures of the four of them. Whatever. As soon as she gets
that ring on her finger, andI swear I called this during the wedding.
So that day of the wedding,I went to a Taylor Swift concert
in Pasadena and went straight over tothe guy I was dating to his house
(54:51):
and we watched the wedding together,and there was one moment in there when
they were taking their vows, andI can't remember exactly Witchab, but if
I watched the wedding again, Icould tell. I could hone in on
it the way that she looked athim. At one point, I would
that's it right there, she's goingto screw him over. She's not really
as into it as he is,right And you could tell right then,
and I called it. So sheas soon as that rings on her finger.
(55:14):
She goes into that relationship, startstearing that down. Apparently doesn't like
how Queen Elizabeth treated her. Now, who's like a legendary woman. So
even if she wasn't royal, imagineyou have your son has this grandmother who
he adores, who's been there whenhis mother died, and you don't like
how she's treating you. Well,isn't an incumbent upon you to make everything
(55:37):
you can good in that relationship,even if you feel like it's And that
goes to the millennial things anyway,she convinces them to move clear across the
world from everything her husband's ever known, raised their child where there's no strong
family. Sure she has her momhere in La but what else does she
have? Doesn't have aunts and unclesand cousins, all those cousins that William
(55:59):
and Kate keep pop and out.And but my other like the point this
goes to as well, is it'ssuch a millennial thing now. And you
see this in companies everywhere. Peoplego work for a company and they don't
like how the company is doing something, so they demand everything change about the
company instead of them either just suggestingsomething, and if they don't do it
(56:20):
finding another job. It's like theythink everything has to change because of them,
instead of them doing something to helpbe the change. Right. It's
just annoying. It is. Itis quite annoying, and that's part of
the reason why I've kind of lostyou know, when they were getting married,
how much I defended her and said, she's really a good person,
(56:43):
and like everything I remember about her, she was always kind and really really
worked hard to make people feel included. And I mean I still think a
lot of those things, but theway that she's handled the way the royal
family situation and demanding that Harry fundamentallychanged the colors of his life to suit
(57:04):
her. Again, you knew thisgoing in. If you knew going in
that that you were going to bea member of the royal family, it's
you that have to has to changeyour life to help your your loved one.
You're the person you're in love with. This idea, Well, that's
a thing in general too, withwith relationships. Like I've guy friends that
(57:27):
either like coached football on a volunteerbasis, or were hunters or had other
hobbies that they had when they weredating, and the woman knew that and
then they get married and suddenly it'sa problem when the man wants to take
time to do his hobby. Right, Well, you knew that when you
married him, right, And soI I have a problem with that.
(57:49):
And obviously she's extremely liberal, andso I mean, I I like liberals.
I have friends that are liberals,but to a point, to a
point, it's it's frustrating. Soso then other story goes back to your
stuff about government that we were talkingabout. So yeah, so let me
get through the whole setup of it. And then I just want to hear.
(58:10):
Like I told you before, Iknew this is going to make you
mad, so I want the reaction. I will remain quiet until you complete
your thoughts. Thank you. Soan owner of a New York City bar
that was providing indoor service and defianceof coronavirus restrictions was arrested after a sting
(58:30):
in which plain closed officers went insideand ordered food and beverages. It was
the Max Public House on Staten Island, and it happened yesterday. It's in
this whatever orange zone of Cuomo.So these plain closed deputies went inside and
ordered food in exchange for a mandatoryforty dollars quote donation. Uniform deputies went
(58:50):
in and then issued tickets for stateand city violations. Go, well,
this is what you get when youlet government have power over you when they
shouldn't. I mean, I'm notsurprised by this, but any any way
shape or for him going in isplainclothes is a sting. I mean,
do you have nothing better to dowhen there's violent crime surging in New York
(59:14):
City? This is this is thetextbook argument for a power that you do
delegate to. You know, BenjaminFranklin, to paraphrase, Benjamin Franklin is
someone that that sacrifices their liberty fora small piece of freedom or small piece
of safety deserves neither. And right, this is exactly that we've We've delegated
(59:38):
all this power to the government tosave us from coronavirus, and suddenly when
they start exercising that power against us, there's a huge problem. And right,
I am so frustrated, livid onthis stuff because now people are starting
to wake up. I mean,you you have people writing anti lockdown things.
(01:00:00):
I mean there were in Europe protesterswere talking molotov cocktails at cops who
were you know, locking you know, enforcing lockdown regulations. We sit back
and we a lot. We givegovernment this power to protect us. We
say, government, save us fromthis virus, or save us from again
talking about like the Patriot Act orthe mass surveillance of government of US citizens
(01:00:25):
as exposed by Snowden. This powerthat we say, we need to give
this to the government temporarily to provideus with safety security. But two things
again going back to is that ifwe if we do that, it's just
annoying. So so um, andwe've talked a lot lately about just worthless
(01:00:46):
Republicans, right who who do thiscrap? Put up with this crap.
So there's a state senator in thisarea who said, well, you know,
he shouldn't have been doing this.Um, you know, so we
we just respect our law enforcement.And so this is why this is happening.
So did you know what he wasactually arrested for, this guy trespassing
(01:01:09):
in his own freaking restaurant. Letme read this a little bit so in
a quarter right, So, uh, his attorney, who's because this restaurant's
already been fighting against this right,So the owner was uncooperative and charged with
(01:01:30):
obstruction of governmental administration. And inaddition to the charge of stemming from unauthorized
food and beverage service, which youknow right. So, but here's the
thing, like if if these things, which we already know that the that
Scoders came down on Cuomo on hisreligious orders the other day, and reading
those opinions goes to show that theyare probably of the mind that a lot
(01:01:53):
of these executive orders relating to thesehealth orders are going to be unconstitutional and
not able to hold up. Sohow are any of these charges going to
hold up? So the attorney said, Presty was arrested. That's the owner
because he didn't want to leave hisbusiness, and at that point they considered
it trespassing. How do you trespassin your own business? Who was I
do get it? They were?They were. They were in there without
(01:02:15):
a warrant, right, and theyset him up. I mean, entrapment
can probably be by a defense hereand the state Senator Andrew Lanza, a
Republican, thought to call him thedozens of tavern supporters who jeered as Presty
was led away in handcuffs. Lanzasaid the bar owner should not have been
arrested, but added, we respectlaw enforcement on Staten Island like no other
(01:02:37):
borrow. Nope, screw you.Yeah, take your little jack booted gestopo
tactics and go screw yourself. Ijust I hate this crap. I hate
this crap. What was the chargeobstruction of government administration? It was a
obsection of governmental administration in addition tothe unauthorized cream obstruction of governmental in a
(01:03:05):
governmental administration. Well, I'm sorry, did I stop you from being like
straight up Nazis about this? Ithis is this is at this point,
like I said, these guys wouldbe catching musket balls from the four accounting
Fathers. Thomas Jefferson would put amusket to these dudes foreheads and pull the
(01:03:30):
freaking trigger. This is this isinsanity to suggest that this is legitimate.
We're gonna, we're gonna, We'regonna, We're oh, we're fine.
We're just gonna sacrifice a little bitof our freedoms for the security from a
virus that, by the way,has a ninety nine point nine five survival
(01:03:51):
rate. At this point, rightwhen, at what point are people going
to wake up and say, youknow what, maybe maybe, just maybe
we have a bigger issue here.The threat isn't from a virus. It's
from government. We've seen it herein California, and we've seen all over
the country where where these these electedofficials are barking orders and telling us how
(01:04:15):
we need to remain safe, butnot following it at all themselves. Whether
it's Gavin Newsom or Sheila cull orthe dude who's the mayor of Denver,
or the mayor of Baltimore, orthe mayor of San Jose, San Jose
London breed and San Francisco Cuomo havinghis eighty nine year old mother over for
Thanksgiving dinner. It's all these thingsthat they're telling us we have to do
(01:04:40):
to save ourselves. You have todo this to be part of us.
We're trying to save lives. Ifyou don't do that, if you don't
follow the rules, it's equivalent tomurder. Go screw yourself, bend over
and jam your fist in your ownbombhole, you bunch of Because this is
this is this is absolute, unmitigatedhorsecrap. At what point do we all
(01:05:05):
look back and say, no,it's not worth it. We're Ronald Reagan.
There's nothing more permanent than a temporarygovernment program. Okay, Giving all
this power to government to save usfrom a vinery that might get as thick
and we might have a cough onthe flu for a couple of weeks and
it will suck. Oh goodness,what are they gonna do? You know
what we're gonna do. We're gonnaruin the economy and drive teenagers to commit
(01:05:29):
suicide and take away the sports thatthey're doing for their career. Are we
talk about the fact of how unaffordablecollege education is, yet we're getting rid
of the ability for most kids toget scholarships to go. I mean,
where where where are academic scholarships goingto come from? What are they gonna
(01:05:50):
look like in the future. Howare we going to measure people's grades when
they may have been suffering as aresult of the distance learning and not a
result of whether or not they're learningthe content of the of the subject matter.
What are we going to do aboutthe people who get football scholarships because
there haven't been any football How we'regonna do And again, these these rules
(01:06:11):
change from state to state. Sowe're gonna give the heads We're gonna get
a head up to football players.High school football players in South Dakota over
California because we haven't had any highschool sports here. Right at what point
and changes the trajectory of their lives? Right at what point are we gonna
admit that we're doing more damage thanwe are preventing it? And that was
(01:06:32):
the rant that I came here for. I No, seriously at this point,
like I am highly encouraging if thereis a way for you, listeners,
if there's a way for you twonon violently underscore this, non violently
(01:06:53):
ignore and refuse to cooperate with thesestupid draconian measures that don't do anything literally
science. They keep talking about,show me where lockdowns are successful. So
like they're talking about, like rightnow that there's this big article that came
out that I saw the other daythat was like, well, look at
your look at UK's numbers. Theywent on a lockdown November fifth, and
(01:07:15):
therefore as a result, the casescame down and deaths came down, So
therefore lockdown's work. Sweden hasn't hada lockdown. Their numbers are less than
are less per capita than than theUK. So it's not the lockdown,
it's the behavior of the virus.It's that it's gone through it burned through
the people who was going to killamen, and now it's going to it's
(01:07:39):
now, oh well, and notjust the science on the lockdown. Show
us the science before you lockdown anindustry or something, show us the science
that that industry or activity contributes tothe spread. Sheikul said that she has
six studies. Yet last week whenpeople were asking, when Janis Hawn and
Catherine Burger were asking, no onehad a study they could refer to.
(01:08:01):
And even if they did, itwas like a CDC study for months ago
and not particular to la. Wellagain, if not a doctor reber ferrare
uh it keeps keeps talking about thescience and everything else. And when I
remember listening turing to the hearing atthe al kinning boat to supervisors last week
where they said, what's the scienceand they we don't know, right and
(01:08:25):
so. But but now that shekill got caught dining out she's saying that
that they have studies showing six studiesshowing that dining outdoors transmits the virus.
Well, I'd like to see it, okay, yeah, produce it right?
Absolutely, asinine, absolutely asinine.Don't follow these these measures if you're
(01:08:45):
if you're listening right now. I'mhighly encouraging you. And again non violently,
am I saying don't wear a mask. No, If you can go
into a grocery store wearing a maskand it's not uncomfortable for you, and
you can comply with local government orders, please do so. And if you
feel sick in anyway, whether itcould be the flu or could be coronavirus
or whatever, or could be acold, even, just stay home.
It's them someone else go. Yeah, it's it's what you should have done
(01:09:09):
without coronavirus. Right. That's thebiggest thing about this is that I'm not
We're not asking people to do somethingdifferently. If you were sick before,
don't go to your friend's birthday party, right, which you should have done
before. Like I always hated whenpeople go to work sick. I don't
have a sick day. Yeah,no, one wants your cold. Don't
show up. And that's what drivesme absolutely bonkers about this is that so
(01:09:32):
much of this is individual responsibility,individual liberty, an individual I mean this
is on me. Am I sick? No? That okay? Am I
at risk of being a a symptomaticcarrier and infecting someone else? Yes?
Then I'll wear a mask if thatwas what makes it right, I'll feel
comfortable. I will do certain thingswithin certain steps to make it so we
(01:09:55):
can do everything. But if massis in social distancing allegedly work, why
shutting everything down right? Right?It just it's just you. You can't
you can't tell us follows science,and then when we follow sciences, like
for instance, the CDC put outa thing that said only three percent of
total infections are from people who don'twear masks, right, so ninety seven
(01:10:19):
percent or people who either wear themall the time or most of the time.
Only three percent of total cases werefrom people who don't wear masks all
the time, refuse to wear masks. So it's not that we're not wearing
masks using their science and their interpretationmasks cause COVID. Just right, we
(01:10:41):
went way over today, Jen becausebecause of your of you baiting me into
rant. Sorry, I know you'renot You're not sorry, your love and
the fact that I'm losing the mindright now, Livid, go pour all

(01:11:05):
this of my new piece that I'mgoing to write a while we've been on
