Speaker 1 (00:30):
The following program contains course language and adult themes. Listener
discretion is advised. Welcome everyone to another episode of The

(01:06):
Cocktail Lounge. I am your hostess with the Mostess Maggie,
and with me as always, is the ever suave, affable
and pluffable co host Brad Schlager. How are you doing tonight, Brad?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I'm doing well, doing well. Look at that. It's us
it is.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
This is a trial run for video. I cannot promise
that I will stay in this format.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Are you gonna be okay? Are you all right?

Speaker 1 (01:35):
I'm I'm this is uncomfortable for me. I'm I'm just not.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
I don't know. Oh, I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. But but we'll try.
We'll see how it goes.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
In a commemoration of our first time on video, we
decided to wear our a lion Shirtstail I am in.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I'm in Tiki mode myself and you're adorned.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
With this is a Stitch.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I a favorite spirit animal.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yes, if I could be Stitch, I would be, but
the animation Stitch, not the live action. I didn't like
the live action, so I didn't I didn't think. I
think the animation one was cuter. So so if I'm
going to be an animal, I want to be a
cute one. Although I do have a pinshant for being

(02:49):
a man of tee because they're pretty chill. Not exactly
cutest animal out there, but you know whatever.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
No, no, those that's that's more of my local affidity
right there. And there was somewhat corpulent creature that doesn't
do much besides the seagrass, So I.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Know they're kind of but they're two, they're very happy.
They're like cappy barras without hair and in the water.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
So I mean, I suppose so if you could have
a couch potato in the water, it.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Would be that exactly. That's what I want to.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Be, if it's possible.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah, So anyway, how are things down? Your way has
to finally dried up.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Well, it's stopped. I don't know about dried up yet.
We've only had about three solid weeks of rain going
on and two hurricanes right off our coasts, but those
are starting to clear out and they're sucking all the
bad weather out with it, so we're finally I saw
sn today. It's kind of a unique not and weird.
We didn't know how to react.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Actually, we had a little bit of rain. I think
I counted five drops from the time that I that
we had our conversation to the time that I ran
to go get more plans to put on the ground
in the ground over at Lows. But at least it
was a nice day. It wasn't too hot, so that
was nice.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Now we're going well, we're going well. It's uh one
of the few things going well in life, it seems,
since there's nothing but mayhem surrounding us, and I dare
say the sports schedule didn't do much to help our
cause this either.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
No I okay, So I was discussing this with Jeff
at the you know before show, the pre show, and
like I told you, I have no idea how it
is that my aggies went from nine to six when
we had a pretty mediocre game against Auburn. Yeah, admittedly

(04:55):
we won, but it wasn't a glorious win. It was
just kind of like a meh win. Although I do
have to take the opportunity to send out my condolences
to all my aggies. And in the passing of Reverly nine,
she passed away yesterday from a newm moodily, Yeah, this

(05:16):
is the one that had be tired, so it's not
the current aggie.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
I was going to say, I saw one on the
field the other day.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
No, she's the one that lost her eye. And now
we're all like petitioning for her to have an eye
patch because that would just elevate our mascot to like,
you know, to a thirty out of a one to ten.
So it would I think it would be It would
be totally badass. She's the highest ranking member of our

(05:44):
core cadet, so yeah, she deserves the eye patch exactly.
But yeah, I didn't think our game was all that great.
I mean I was watching, I was going, this is
pretty boring. I think we won what sixteen to ten
something like that?

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, yeah, well, I mean the biggest issue there was penalties.
You guys just could not stop with that. Was that
the illegal motion? I mean I think you had what twelve
or thirteen altogether?

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Oh, I think it was more than that, but yeah,
at least at least thirteen, I think, But I thought
it was more.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
But I heard one moment I have to leave the mic.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
I'll be right back, Okay, So I heard rumors to
the effect that perhaps our team was going to petition
an investigation on the referee for that game because there
were so many severe penalties, of which at least three
we were looking at and saying that, how was that

(06:48):
a penalty? We didn't understand how we got that penalty,
And even the other you know, people that were covering
the game, we're saying, we don't understand how that wasn't
penalty either. But but like I said, it's a rumor.
I have not seen any confirmation of it, so who knows.

(07:08):
But you know, we move on and we moved up
from nine to six, and I'm like, okay.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Well you guys won, and there was no fewer than
four top ten teams that lost. That's kind of I.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Guess that's why we moved up because so many top
ten teams lost.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
I mean, it was bound to happen because Penn State
and Oregon played each other, so that was a top
ten matchup. But then LSU shocked everybody by losing. Although
they're they're kind of shaping up to be a paper
Tiger because their offense is just not there.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
I totally see what you did there.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
They're not clicking as it were, so they've kind of
fallen a little bit as a result. Old misshot way
up in defeating him and then the down here at least.
I was in the bar Friday night with a crowd
of su fans and didn't go well when they ended
up dropping in double overtime. Holy Virginia upset them rather hard,

(08:09):
so that affected him. They took a nice little tumble
all the way down to eighteen as a result.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, that was. That was an ouch moment. It was,
and there's a lot of juggling around. I still see
that our nemesis is still up in the ranks somewhere
not here. Dang. Well, yeah, I really want them off.
I want them off.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
I want took care of business. But I mean, they
played Arkansas and it was kind of funny. I was
doing my weekly roundup for Red State and writing it down,
and I even said, I think it was Saturday night
when I put it down that it didn't look like
the coach Sam Pittman for Arkansas was doing too well.
He might be on a hot seat. And then before

(08:55):
the poll came out on Sunday he's out of a job.
So kind of called it. I mean, they've lost three
in a row. They gave up on average forty three
points a game. I mean, the defense is just non existing.
So that damn problem.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, that is a that's problematic. Yeah. I was discussing
with Jeff the possibility of the Terrapins actually being ranked.
I mean, they're undefeated, and yet you have Notre Dame
that has two losses still ranked, and I'm like, why
why are these people still here fucking jess wits?

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Because they gotta calm down. It's just it's just the
way it works. They have to be no vision.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
They should be in the top twenty five at this point,
and somebody is talking about how they're playoff they actually
have a chance at the playoffs. I'm like, how, how
is that possible?

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well, because they don't play anybody, Like the toughest parts
of their schedule were you and I and we took
care of business, but they didn't, and as a result
they get rewarded. Now it's I mean, it's gonna play out,
but it'll be like a week such as this one,
where enough teams lose they just move up by default,

(10:17):
and as a result, they're probably going to find their
way into the postseason because of the way everybody votes
for them, that kind of crap. So they'll they'll make
it possibly unless we get a good upset somewhere along
the line, and that'll be a welcome effect right there.
I'd take it. But as far as Maryland creeping in,

(10:40):
it could be a bit of a long shot. I
don't even see.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
They're thirty thirty the ap thirtieth on the coaches.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Okay, because they're just outside. Yeah, they got like seven
points and number twenty five is at one hundred and seven,
so they've got a bit of a climb yet. But
there's a strength the schedule and all of that comes
into play. That's what the thinking is.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Well, I just I don't care. The only thing I
care about is I want to see Notre Dame out
of the top twenty five. I just want them gone, gone, gone, gone.
I want them gone. They don't deserve it until that
team decides to get into a conference. I'm not I'm not.
I don't want them there.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
No, Yeah, and like, let's see what is it. This
coming week they played Boise State, who's kind of having
an off year themselves, so that's not exactly a challenge.
I think Notre Dame will handle it, especially if they're
at home. But hey, you took care of them at home, too, so.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
We did.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
We can hope for the best worst that's a great game,
best for us, worse for them, But that's that's where
we're at.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, well, then the.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Programe didn't help us out too. Well.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
I'm let me tell you, I am not a Dallas
Cowboy fan, and I'm sorry all of my Texas I know,
I get it. I lived there, I lived in Irving, Okay.
I met Dallas Cowboys in their heyday, like when they
were champions and everything. But no, never was a fan.

(12:25):
And my family is. My sister wears her jersey, her
husband wears his jersey, my brother in law wears his jersey,
his wife wears her. Everybody wears their jerseys and everything.
It's kind of weird whenever I go visit. But you
know whatever, But this weird thing happened where they were

(12:47):
tied at the end of the game and then they
go into overtime and I'm listening to the rules of
the overtime and I'm like, wait, what, so they're just
playing for ten minutes and whatever it is at the
end of the time, minutes that's what it is. And
I'm sorry, but I thought the object, the whole purpose

(13:07):
of overtime is to avoid a tie. Am I wrong
in thinking that? I mean, I'm not the biggest football
person on the planet, but I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Well it's you know, you would think if you're going
to go through the effort of having free football, that
would be for the beneficit of coming to a conclusion.
But I guess they think there's a possibility that it
could go on forever.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Well, I mean, we kind of proved it, but that
was a and M versus LSU, and we had seven overtimes,
but we finally we finally won. But that was the point.
You kept having an overtime until the tie was broken.
That's the purpose of overtime, to break a tie, not
to establish it.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Pretty sure everybody survived. There weren't any fatalities as a result,
So I.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Mean, I I am not kidding when I tell you
that there are still people that I know who remember
when SMU and we were still in the Southwest Conference,
SMU had a tie game and they still haven't gotten
over that. And that was before SMU got the death
penalty in the eighties and they're still upset about that.

(14:19):
So I can't even imagine how people are dealing with
this tie game because all I saw on social media
is like, what the fuck a tie? It was just
post after post about this tie.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Well, you know, I popped the game on and I'm
sitting there watching and yeah, I'm doing other things because
I don't really care about either team, but it was
on in the background, I'm checking my fantasy and all
the other stuff going on, and then it just finishes.
It's not like the game ended, it just stopped. It didn't.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
It just stopped.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
And then suddenly I see.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Dak Prescott hooking the other guy and I'm like, wait,
it's over, but it's a tie.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Four hours were spent and there's no resolution. I mean, god, sorry,
we have.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
A hockey term for this. What is it called kissing
your sister? Yeah, you're kissing. You're kissing a woman, but
at your sister.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
There's no men. I texted that to Aggie as soon
as the game was over. I was like, great, the
Cowboys just made out with their sister. Really kind of stupid,
but there you go. But Miami they played last night,
and uh, I don't know if there's something worse than

(15:39):
kissing your sister. That might be it. They won, but
they beat the Jets of no accomplishment, and then of
course our best player had to go completely out. I
think He'll got tackled out of bounds and his leg
pointed in a direction it's not supposed to.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
That was I got shade of jo. I was like,
ew when I saw the way his leg was now,
and that's that's on good.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
And then the medical team was tending to him. They
had to actually cut his cleat off in order to
reset his leg temporarily. That's not cool. And then, uh, well,
let's just compound the whole weekend of crap. I think
it was Thursday night where news came out that the
captain of the Florida Panthers, Alexander Barkoff, got hurt during practice.

(16:33):
It's like that's and like I said, I went out
to the tavern Friday night and I'm there with a
couple other you know, Panther fans that we're talking. All
of a sudden, our phones all start chiming at the
same time. What what what out for the season?

Speaker 1 (16:51):
I know that's awful.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
So that's yeah, we're and we already have Matthew could
chuck out until January. So now we're like, well three
PiZZ a bit of a challenge now, so we're hoping
that cock and make it can still happen. It can
still happen, get more called back by then, and we
can go into the postseason with a full squad hopefully.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
I think Bid has a great idea. He says that
they should have throw Chambeaud for it. That would have
been more legitimate than what happened. Honest to God, I
have to give it to him. That makes more sense
than ten minutes of one overtime and whatever happens happens.

(17:37):
It's almost like the referees are like making the These
rules are being made because people don't want to keep going.
I don't understand this. I'm like, you're literally taking away,
So why bother having overtime if the purpose for overtime
is being diluted?

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, it really doesn't make sense at all. But uh yeah,
my my concern will dissipate in exactly seven days because
that's the puck drop for the NHL. I could be
sufficiently distracted at that point in time.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
You and Jeff both.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Indeed days let it drop.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
I think that's one of my favorite things. When when
y'all start talking, get into the whole hockey thing. Jeff
will just come into the chat and start talking. It
really is more like three people here, not too just
one of us is very silent. That's all language exactly.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Well, there was there was some good news for your people.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Define my people.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Final, Okay, I gotta I gotta make sure I don't
step on anything around here.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Well, you and I both know you can't ever offend me.
It doesn't matter what say.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
The diminutive latins of the you just said, I wouldn't
offend you.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
I'm not offended. I'm like, oh my god, that think's
not going to die.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
But I saw the other day somebody who the hell
was it? Now, obviously it was somebody on the left,
but they were walking. They were in discussion about political
matters and wanted to be described as a woman. But
a is spelled with an X.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Oh. I've seen that. I've also seen the Y. I'm
waiting for the z Z.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
I tell you right now, if anybody ever drops that
on me, I will be refer to them as a
warm pusher it as much as possible. Whim Mixon womickson
with wixen.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
I don't even pronounce that. I'm not even and I'm
sure the Welsh have can pronounce it, but.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
I can't wom exam exam. I'm definitely gonna step all
over it. But no, you of the Puerto Rican extraction
have to be you know, indicated by the flag on screen.
The selection for this year's Super Bowl halftime show is

(20:26):
not Taylor Swift.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
I didn't even know she was in the running.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Well, it was just the prevailing rumor, like everybody was,
She's gonna be her. Her and Travis they got engaged
and no, no.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
No, And here's the thing. Okay, I'm not a fan
of Taylor Swift. That woman has been on tour throughout
the world non stop. She deserves a fucking break. Okay,
come on, it's twenty minutes. But still you're you know,
the whole thing with the you know, horrible rodent, bad

(21:05):
bunny person. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yes, he's money was the announced entertainer for this year's
halftime show. And does he even have a hit song?

Speaker 3 (21:16):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (21:16):
It's Spanish in Puerto Rico that I know of, but
that's I'm only taking my family's word for it because
they actually lived there and they listened to them. But
here's the thing, I'm pretty sure everybody around here noticed
that several weeks ago the media started putting out information
about Bad Bunny and how his residency was coming to

(21:37):
a close in Puerto Rico and how much money I
had generated for the Puerto Rico coffers, which the splash
Puerto Rican people are never going to see. That's another
story altogether. And I thought that it was kind of
interesting that so many in the media, we're talking about
this person that most people here have never heard of.

(22:02):
As a matter of fact, I listened to Spanish hip hop,
I listened to Southside, listened to I listened to everything.
My virtue of you know, my cousins are always posting
this stuff on face so I'll listen to it, and
I'm like, okay, that's pretty cool. You know, got sodine
that's got me going whatever. But here's the thing, not
even my cousins were posting his music, and I'm like, Okay,

(22:27):
if he is he has a residency there, that's great
and everything. Why are you announcing that it's coming to
a close. Normally, if you have a residency, say in
Las Vegas and Reno in Atlantic City and places like that.
It makes use when the residency established is established, like
for example, when Celine Dion decided to have her residency,

(22:49):
hers is a permanent residency because her husband actually bought
the place for her. Okay, so that's her showcase.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
That's worse than nepotism. Ah.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Hey, it generates a lot of money for those people.
But you know, there's several people that have residences in
Vegas and you announce when they're having when they start
the residency, and about a month before the residency ends,
you start saying, heyry if you haven't seen him yet, hurry, yeah,
because the ends in a month. Blah blah blah. But
they never actually talk about the end of their residency

(23:23):
and how much money it generated for the city of
Las Vegas or the state of Nevada or whatever. In
the case of Puerto Rico, having a residency in Puerto Rico,
it's not that it's difficult, it's just the name recognition.
To generate that amount of money, it has to be big.

(23:45):
Julio Iglesias could have done it, Pitt Bull could certainly
do it, but the thing was nobody. Yeah, nobody has
heard of this person, and now the two drops, he
decides to cancel all of his appearances in the United
States because he's afraid. This is his reasoning. He's afraid

(24:09):
that Ice is going to go after the people that
listen to his music at his concerts. That was his reason.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
He's a Puerto Rican, he's an American.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
I'm like, dude, if I don't see the FEDS going
to your concerts, I really don't. But whatever, and now
it comes to and now everything comes full circle. He's
going to be the headliner, the main attraction for the
halftime show at the super Bowl. One thing that I
looked at was the past few super Bowls and who

(24:42):
has been in charge of picking the person that's going
to perform. And apparently it's a company that's headed by
Jay Z and they're the ones that really decide on
who's going to perform at the halftime show. I get
that the majority of players tend to be on a

(25:03):
certain ethnic background, but my majority of people watching are not.
And so I started wondering, why is it that it
just doesn't dive. I mean, the weekend, I never even
heard of that guy. Admittedly, I live under a rock.
But my kids had never heard of him either, and

(25:23):
they listened to everything.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
And the only reason I even know about him is
because during his halftime show, like I don't watch halftime shows,
that's when I go to get the food, I reload,
and if there's a swimming pool, I'm in the water.
I completely blow off that whole half hour. And the
only reason I know about the Weekend's performance is because
everybody the next day was posting videos of him when

(25:47):
he was doing one of the songs and going through
this tunnel of lights that they had created, and they
were like, somebody go help he's lost, he got locked
in the hallway, or kick it out. I thought it
was kind of funny, but otherwise it made no damn sense.
That's the thing I will say. I'm trying to. I mean,
you know, everybody talks about princes. That was supposedly a

(26:09):
good one.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
That was the last one that I enjoyed. Admittedly I
read Lady Gaga's was pretty good. But I did notice
that there is a trend and every time that the
certain person gets picked, they're actually a spokesperson for the
Cause du jour. The Cause of Juur right now is

(26:33):
a legal immigration. Well, guess who just canceled all of
his tour dates in the US because of illegal and
because of the Ice deal.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
That's the thing.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
I think that's why he got picked because he is woke.
He got he is the spokesperson for the cause. That's
the only reason.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Okay, But if you're protesting America and coming out against
the administration, how can you go to the super Bowl,
which is the eminent American event.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
I think you're missing one important thing that he's done.
What he was one of the stars and happy Gilmore too.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Oh yeah, I was going to say that's the only
reason he got picked because he was in the next
Skits movie and played the caddy and was like, wow,
hey bad Bunny was in it. Okay, one, who is that?
And two? What did he play? What do he thought? Oh,
he's got to carry his golf clubs. Oh there's a
pertinent role.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Okay, I'm I'm I'm sure that that had something to
do with it. But you know, again, nobody really listens
to his music that I know of. I'm not saying
that his music is not listened to, But if you
wanted to get an energizing hip hop artist, somebody that
does grap well and everything, and everybody enjoys and everybody

(27:54):
thinks is a great hero and who has done a
lot for the people of where he lives. I remember
he did a lot for the hurricane victims, he did
a lot for Why not pick Pitbull whose name is established?
He does draw a crowd. People would tune in to
halftime just for that.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
And he's from the three h five.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Uh An immigrant as well, the Cuban Immigrant. I done
it legally, and so I mean, he's got all the credits,
but he's not woke, not approved woke. That's the problem
all of the I'm looking. I looked at the list,
and with one exception, all of those were like woke

(28:41):
caused a jure people for that particular year. Run five
was the only one that was like, wait, why did
they get picked? Oh wait no, they were just the
opening act for Usher. Okay, never mind, And it's amazing
because Usher's been there three times in the past ten years,
I think, and Beyonce twice.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Was that was he the one that rollerskated?

Speaker 1 (29:01):
I have no idea. I don't watch it anymore.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Well no, again, I only see like the videos the
next day, somebody will you'll post little clips. I will
say this the one I did enjoy because somebody had recommended.
He's like, oh, you got to go back and watch it.
Bruno Mars put on a good one.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
The first one he did, he's actually a second one
was yes, But the second one he was he was
told I don't know, it seemed like he was told
tone it down, I want Beyonce to shine. And that
was a problem because they had four different people that
year normally or something yes, and I remember when it

(29:38):
was just one person. I remember who did it. Oh
my god, that was a great show, even the Black
Eyed Peas when they did. There's people complain about it,
but I was like, I liked it.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
And they had Paul McCartney. I think one year really great.
Haven't heard any of those songs before. Let me go
make another sub I'll be back later.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Well, but the thing is, I don't mind that. I
like going down memory lane. That's why when The Who
came on, I was like all over that. I wanted
to hear the old songs. I wanted them to sing
what they were known for. Prince same thing. I wanted
that vibe. I mean that man, he was such a

(30:22):
great musician. And I still more in the fact that
we lost him at such an early age. I guess
early because that was my age. Now he massa but
just there's no, this guy's not I don't think he's talented.
I pulled it up and I was like, if it

(30:42):
weren't for auto tune, no.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Well that was the thing. Most people when the announcement
came out, the first words out of their mouth was,
can't we get somebody that at least plays an instrument
that tells me everything I need right there?

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Well, here's hoping he doesn't get lost in a cheese
grater like the weekend that.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Or maybe we want that.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
I don't know, Oh yeah, well maybe.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Well fucks, we've lost bad bunnies. So we're gonna cut
the commercial and we'll be back for the kick off.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
We don't know what happened to the guy. But the
thing is, you know, it used to be that the
show was for the fans, and now the show is
they put out an agenda. Most of the songs that
are sung put out an agenda. There's always some kind
of meaning, there's always some kind of symbolism that is
used now, and I'm like, I don't want to see that.

(31:37):
I don't, so yet another year that I'm not gonna
be watching.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Well on the topic of woke entertainers, that's already. Aggie's
about to go into the red zone here. Hey, what's
going on jk Rowling lately?

Speaker 1 (31:57):
Excuse me, me, me, me me, I'm gonna go off
on a rat. I am so happy with this woman
right now. I cannot possibly tell you how high bay
I am.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Should I set the table here for you? Is that?

Speaker 1 (32:15):
Sure? Go ahead?

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Well? As many people may or may not know, JK
Rowling apparently is a serial killer with trans individuals. I'm
a little fuzzy on those details. I'm not exactly sure
if that's right or not, but from what I've seen online,
she apparently sprays massive gunfire into trans clinics on a

(32:39):
regular basis or something. But the reaction to this woman
generates cracks me up, because all she does is pump
out common sense and logic and they just lose their
every loving mind.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
So she's not even against the trans community. She wants
them protected as well. The problem that she has is
that they cannot come in into women's faces. She's like,
there has to be a line, and you are basically
taking women's agency away. When you say that a guy
can be a woman.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Well that's you know, that's the whole thing. And I'm
pretty much the same way as her. I always have it.
It's like, look, I'm not saying you can't do certain things,
but if a they start encroaching on areas that are
you know, belong to other people and appropriation comes to mind,
or if me merely saying I don't give a damn

(33:33):
is constituted as a form of hate, you know, that's
what I have.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
You have to be made to care. And she's like, no,
I don't. I'm like, I care about you because you have,
as an adult, full agency to do what you want
with your body and identify as what you want to be,
and you should be protected within your own But you
cannot say I am a woman because you're wearing a

(33:59):
dress and grow your hair long and wear makeup. That's
not it. That's that's wrong.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Yeah. I know it's the small something about biology that
keeps getting in the way.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
But maybe with two videos are not doing any favors tonight.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
One of my favorite things though, was when the people
of that ILK come. I was like, why do you
care so damn much what we do in our bedroom.
It's like, because you won't shut up about what you
do in your bedroom, you know. It's like, honestly, that was.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
That was the whole deal for Lawrence versus Texas. Remember
about it.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
I'll stop caring about it. How about that deal? So anyway, JK. Rowland,
she's you know, long been a target of this activist set.
And one of the weirder things that take place over
the last few years is that the cast of her
movies Harry Potter have basically turned not her because she's
not woke, she's not open minded to this, she's hateful,

(35:05):
she's in tolerance all of this crap. And so Daniel
Radcliffe and company have become borderline obnoxious about this sort
of thing. And the whole time JK. Rowling has never
lashed out at them. She hasn't attacked them or said,
you know, you ungrateful senta bitches. I made nothing like that.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
She supported their right to say that, and she said.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
She's disagreed with him verbally, but otherwise she said, you know,
you can feel that way, but it, you know, still
doesn't quite the truth.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
And she actually and she actually defended them because somebody said,
you know, it's like you know, don't She told them,
don't go after them for their opinion. That would be wrong.
She actually stood up for them. And the most egregious
one I think was Emma Watson Radcliffe and then Rubert

(35:54):
Grant to a lesser grief. I guess they were both tied.
Grint to a very much lesser degree. He still thinks
of her in a very I guess a uncular fashion,
but he does have his disagreements with her, but he says,
you know, but it's a disagreement. I mean, I like her,

(36:16):
She's like my aunt, you know, that kind of thing.
We can disagree, and he left it at that. So
he's never actually been hostile to her. Daniel Radcliffe has
been hostile to her. But it was what Emma did
that finally broke jk Rowling's last straw. That the straw
that broke her back, or however you want to talk

(36:39):
about it. I mean, Emma actually criticized Rallying and then
handed a friend a note, a handwritten note to give
to jk Rowling. Now keep in mind, Rallying has her
phone number, Emma has Rallying's phone number, so why would

(36:59):
you actually send a note with a third party. I'll
tell you why, because you don't want to actually face
the person that you are maligning in such a manner.
You're a coward. And I have watched Emma since she
became hoity toity and got the gig as Bell and

(37:22):
Beauty and the Beast. But the moment that I started
really watching her was when I found out that she
was responsible for designing the dress that she wore in
the Goblet of Fire for the ball. And I know
y'all don't get it like I do. The thing is,

(37:45):
a costume designer has her purview. The only person that
can actually tell the costume designer what costume to do
or what they want done is literally the producer and
the director. Sometimes it's the same person, sometimes two people.
Most of the time it's the director because he has
a vision. In this case, Emma decided to take it

(38:07):
upon herself and say, no, this is what I want.
When I found out that, she basically said I want
this dress to do this, I would like to do
that I would like And the costume designer actually worked
with her on this because to be fair, the girl
was going to be wearing the fucking dress. But I

(38:28):
did this. This is just a rumor. Somebody said that
Emma was upset when the costume designer actually involved a
director and say this is the dress that we came
up with. Is that okay for Emma? She didn't want that.
She wanted her vision to come through to the dress.
And that's when I started thinking, this girl does think

(38:49):
highly of herself, highly of her sphere. So I kept
watching her, and after the movies were done, I think
she was a good will ambassador for a time. And
she went and she spoken to UN about the sexualization
of women. She did not speak about the sex trafficking
of women. She did not say anything about the subjugation

(39:14):
of women. She only talked about the sexualization of women
in the West. Also a big red flag for me,
because if you're a good will of ambassador to the
world through the UN, if you're picking up the torch
for women, those two issues are at the front. She

(39:34):
didn't pick them up. That's not what she was there for.
Like a week and a half after that, I see
that she is in a magazine spread and she's topless
wearing a shawl, and I'm like, hold up, you're bitching
about the sexualization of women, and you're wearing you're topless,
wearing a shawl that shows you know your ted or

(39:56):
whatever over here and whatnot. I'm like, no, make it
make sense. Well, when she was questioned about that, she said,
that's empowerment. That's empowerment. But if a guy lives at
that picture and likes it, that's sexualization. This is why
I was like, this girl thinks too too highly of herself.

(40:17):
Her bubble is really really small. It includes her. Everybody
else is a little person. That's her view of the world.
And every time that she got into it with you know,
rowling or whatever, I kept seeing the same thing. She
thinks only in a very narrow way. It's always about
her and how it affects her viewpoint and her sphere.

(40:41):
It's never about anybody outside of it. Notice when it
came to sexualization of women and she goes and does that.
She never defended strippers, She never defended women on OnlyFans
that choose to do this. She never defended any of
those people. She only said that the sexualization must stop,

(41:03):
the cat calling must stop. Oh my god, I would
kill for a guy to whistle at me as I
was walking down the street. For me, that is one
of the highest compliments to compay me. I swear to God,
if any of your people and listening right now start
whistling me, I will probably die of embarrassment. But it's true,
it is very true. I come from a culture where

(41:24):
that is actually treasured, because some person that you don't
know actually finds you attractive or worthy enough for a whistle.
I happen to think that that is a very big compliment.
She does not. She seems to think that that is
degrading and that men shouldn't do that, And she proceeded
to shame men for doing this in Great Britain. And

(41:46):
I'm like, again, going after toxic masculinity, that is her shtick,
going after jk Rowling. So J k Rowling just finally
got fed up. She's like, I have defended all y'all's
right to do whatever and say whatever you want. But
here's the thing. I was poor writing while I was

(42:08):
writing the book that made you fucking famous. I have
been through poverty, I have had my agency questions. I
have been the one that goes into public bathrooms. I
was the one going into public places where men were
not allowed to go in and now they are. You
get the benefit of having somebody protecting you from something

(42:28):
like that. She's never She started the movies when she
was what ten, She was ten years old, and she
came from a nice, well to do family to go
do that casting call, and she was protected throughout the films.
She's been protected outside of the films, and she still

(42:49):
has that protection. And now she's bitching about the fact
that at her age, which is a what thirty five,
you know, it's dangerous or toxic for women to have
the pressure to find a man to marry. Well, bitch,
you don't have to suffer because no man in his
right man mind would actually go through the hell of

(43:10):
being married to you.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
JK put it correctly when she let her know that
you have not endured anything as an adult. You've had
this privileged, pampered, bubble wrap lifestyle pretty much since you
were a kid. And that's where you know. JK basically
laid it out and said it was the politest way
of saying, you don't know what you're talking about, kiddo.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
She doesn't know what she's talking about. But on top
of that, not only is she saying one thing, she wants.
She wants the other thing too. She wants her cake
and eat it too. She wants Rowling to actually be
supportive of her and say, hey, I still love you.
Blah blah blah blah. No, that bitch crossed the rubicon
with that note.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
Yeah, but what that is right there is her being
afraid of angering the Hollywood elite. She doesn't want to
get on the bad side of the wrong people career wise,
so she'll say one thing to Rowland, she'll say the
other thing for her career. Yeah, so that you know
she presents well enough to the industry that she doesn't

(44:19):
lose work. Privately, she'll go to Jk's like, no, no,
we're still friends.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Right, No, she's the biggest hypocrite on the planet.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Yes, because you've got no stones. It's like, don't hate me.
I have to I have to do that for the
studio's sake. If that's the translation right.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
There, which goes to show that she has absolutely no
moral standing, She has no scruples, she has She stands
for nothing except whatever can get her ahead. That's it.
And now she's bitching about the fact that it's toxic
for you know, for them to be pressured to find
a husband. Bitch, go find a cat.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
It's just tiresome. But I mean, you gotta give Rowland credit.
She just she doesn't even play the game. I want
to say she doesn't take any crap, but it's not
even that. She doesn't even enter the arena.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
No, she has fucking money, okay, and she admits it.
She admits it. But she worked hard to get that money.
And you know what, she's still writing. I love her.
Her books are great, she writes under a pseudonym now.
But the thing is for her, It's like, I do

(45:34):
stand for something, and I will stand on that hill
because my cause I do believe in I believe in
this cause it is right and it is just. And
she has made it known to everybody. Emma doesn't do that.
Emma hides. She hides in her social media. She hides
behind her agent, she hides behind her security, behind everybody

(45:59):
that she affords an interview for. She hides behind all
of that. She has never suit for anything, and she
will fall for everything. That's where we're at. She has
fallen for that stupidity of transgenderism crap, and now she
has made a permanent chasm between her and rolling the

(46:20):
woman that actually made her the person, the successful person
that she is today.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
And nice is why I've got such low regard for
most people in Hollywood because they don't really have anything
substanative back in the month.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
Yeah, they don't.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
And the only one I really see doing it proper,
you know, doesn't worry about currying favor from the big
wigs is Chris Pratt. And he gets lit up on
social media for various things. Oh my god, he went
hunting and killed an animal. And he talks about Jesus
and faith and praise and doesn't care now.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
And he's my stand on my faith and there is nothing.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
He also doesn't throw it out either. It's not like
every interview he does he's like, I want to go
to your question, Gabriel, but first I want to talk
to you about our savior, Jesus Christ. He doesn't do
that at all. You know. He he'll post stuff on
his social media, but you follow that voluntarily. Other than that,
you wouldn't really know where he stands religiously or politically,

(47:25):
I think. But it's you know, he catches scorn from
so many people for that, and then he just goes
out and puts out another billion dollar movie.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
Yeah, well he's not the only one. I mean, I
remember when Kurt Russell back in the I want say eighties,
eighties or so, he would sponsor a hunt. Okay. Uh,
he's a big time libertarian. Most people don't know that
because he tends to be very quiet about his political leanings.

(47:58):
But he is an abbot hunter and very very much
into conservation in that respect, and he would sponsor a
big hunting, a great hunt, you know, and everything, well,
Peter got involved and hassled him so much that he
canceled it. Keep in mind that all of the game

(48:21):
he paid for to have processed, and all of the
meat was going to a local shelter to feed the hungry. Okay,
everything from the game that whatever anybody caught was going
to be processed, All of the meat was going to go,
and every scrap of each game was going to be

(48:42):
used for something. He's very adamant about that, you know,
you don't waste anything type of thing. But Peter got
so involved and just got a bunch of people to
they found out where this was taking place. They hassled
everybody that was there. So Kurt said, I guess I'm
going to be canceling it. It's not worth the trouble.

(49:05):
And instead he moved into conservation, forest conservation, you know
that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
He still he was still hunting, you know, don't don't
get me wrong, but he just canceled the you know
that it was a celebrity hunt, I think it was,
and it was all of the proceeds we're going to
go to local food shore shelters. And it was a
big waste because the local food shelters were counting on
that food and then it didn't happen, you know. And

(49:40):
years later he was interviewed about that, and I remember
him saying that it's not that I'm trying to kill animals,
it was just this is this is necessary because we
do have to call the population in order to make
sure that the ecology the system, the ecological system is
by rent and still runs well. And he gave the

(50:03):
example of the wolves being introduced back into Yellowstone I
think it was, and so or Yosemite, one of the two,
and he it was Yellowstone. And he was talking about
how this was in fact conservation, and he says, you

(50:24):
will never cure people of their ignorance when they seem
to be absolutely right about facts that don't exist. Yeah,
and it's true.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
That's the other thing we see this all the time, though,
is you can't beat back facts when it's emotion based.
And that's all we get from the left for the
most part, because they just know what's wrong, or they
just hate Donald Trump, or they just can't stand conservatives
what happened this way, and they're like, they get angry,

(50:59):
and that's when the you know, fascist nazi comes out
because they have nothing left to argue because they don't
have facts on her side. I just can't believe anybody
would get complaints about PETA and actually listen to them.
I find that music.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
Back back at the time. What was it called the
Sierra Sierrah? I forget the name. What was it called
Sierra something? Brother, Do you remember what I'm talking about?

Speaker 2 (51:28):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
They were. They worked with the World Wildlife Fund, all
those beatnick or something like that. It was that Sierra Nevadas.
Siah got what it was, It'll come to me, thank you,
thank you, or the Sierra Club. All those Beatenick clubs
worked in tandem, and that's how they they launched this

(51:52):
initiative against that celebrity hunt or whatever. But you know,
I mean to tell you how. Another example, this made
news here because it happened in Texas. A man was
found guilty of giving his pregnant girlfriend abortion pills. And

(52:17):
this is the hypocrisy. If he does it, it's murder, but
if she does it, it's choice. And I'm like, I'm
trying to, you know, trying to square that circle, because
it's like, I'm it's one or the other. The law
literally says that this is murder. Killing of the unborn

(52:40):
is murder unless it's done by her. This is the
hypocrisy that we live on.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Somehow the motive determines whether or not it's a clumpus cells.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
I guess it's just I don't know, but there's a
lot of hypocrisy going on. But yeah, I was. I
was gratified to finally see JK. Rowling actually take Emma
to task. And Emma's being in hiding rightly so because
she doesn't how can she possibly respond to that she can't?

Speaker 2 (53:16):
Well, yeah, but that's also something else that happens. I
have to go in lockdown mode because of all these
maga monsters attacking. But when people on the left do it.
It's justifiable, and you brought it on yourself and you
made the comments that you have to absorb this and
it's that kind of nonsense. Yeah, I love it all. Well,
we have to Gee, I don't know, this could very

(53:38):
well be our last show because I don't know. About
two and a half hours, the government is going to
shut down and.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Like, oh, yeah, so sad, so sad about that.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
Yeah, this is such a farce. And I mean, I'm
watching the Democrats come out and of course they're trying
to spend this.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
You know, the beauty, but the beauty of today is
that there the wind was taken out of their sales
by Pete Hexeth, Secretary of War Pete Headseth. Actually we're
going to get all of that wind out of their sales.
They happened, but you've seen it, You've seen it online,
you've seen it. There've been like screeching trying to get

(54:25):
that oxygen back. And I'm like, yeah, nobody's talking about
you anymore. That the we're okay with the government shutting down.
We want the government to stop working.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
Well, see, this is something the left doesn't wrap their
head around because they are so married to the government
and operations political that I know. They throw these threats
out there and people on the right are like, wait,
you're going to close the government down, thank you, and

(54:54):
that that's not the reaction I want to hear, like wait,
you're supposed to be in panic mode and freaking out
about it. It's like if the government shut down, I mean,
the government's not doing stuff we're in favor of that.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
I'm just breaking in because I'm Puerto Rican. I have
a pava hat, not a sombrero. But yes, I'm ready.
I'm ready with my hat. Oh shut down hat.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
Because of Haquens video that he's pissed about, but there
was who was it. One of the labor groups came out,
I think it was yesterday and they're on a sidewalk
and they're holding signs and such and saying unless they
fixed this on Tuesday, we are all quitting, okay, And

(55:36):
you know they were like, I guess expecting whiling and
mashing a teeth or something. I sent him a gift
of a guy popping a bottle of champagne and getting drenched,
and other people were like, don't threaten me with a
good time and totally did not get any of the
traction they were expecting, because people are like, wait, you're
gonna quit on top of a government shut down? What
this is fantastic And I don't think the messaging has

(56:02):
totally changed.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
They don't understand after Doge found all of that, and
this is something that has pissed me off. The Republicans
have not codified any of the dose things that has
really upset me. But there's an opportunity with this government shutdown,
which by the way, we needed sixty votes for. But
we only have fifty three Republicans, of which one didn't

(56:26):
vote for the stuff they voted for shutdown. That was
Rand Paul. Three Democrats voted with the Republicans, of which
I believe Fetterman was one, and we still needed five more.

(56:46):
And this is everybody saying you control the Senate. I'm like, yeah,
we don't control sixty and they're like, what do you
mean sixty. I'm like, these were your rules, you did.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
This, yeah, And you know they make it sound like, oh,
these Dan Republicans are voting in favor of a shutdown.
I was like, no, you dumbasses. If you would just
simply make the vote, we'll get to see our package
it'll pass and then we can work on other stuff.
You're the one voting against keeping the government open. And
the other thing I loved it was all afternoon. I

(57:18):
was just lighting people up because they're screaming and yelling
because oh, the House Republicans didn't even show up, and
they're nailing this guy coming out of a restaurant and
they're bitching about this one, and Jasmine Crockett, of course,
is out there spitting stuff out of her taco hole,
and all you know, Republicans is Republicans out and I

(57:40):
have to keep reminding these idiots that the House already
passed the CR.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
Yes, it has passed it.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
So Republicans aren't in chambers because they did their job
already that you're bitching about them not doing. But you're
a House member and don't know this. You're either remarkably
stupid or just a horrific liar. Both can be the case.
I'm the end.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
I'm just go Dassmin Crocketts then see it is going
away next term because she's she's really dumb. I I
don't know how this woman became a lawyer.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
That's only because you racist Republicans did it. Oh okay,
the good Republicans like me didn't do it.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
Oh no, oh dear, I'm so sorry about that.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
I just I love it when I see these people
who don't know the facts come out and say, oh man,
these mega people are so stupid. And then they put out,
how come Republicans aren't voting for it. It's like not
to tell you your business or anything. But they already did.
And Chuck Schumer's the one you want to get pissed
off about right now, but that the other details are.

(58:55):
We saw the Democrats vote for a CR repeatedly during
the Biden years, even when Republican Congress was being held,
because they didn't want to shut down to reflect on Biden.
And now they're talking about this, you know, the medical thing. Oh,
we got to make it affordable. Okay, it don't have
to do it today because it doesn't run out until

(59:16):
the end of the year. And it is a COVID
era policy that you're bitching and moaning about. It was
put up. There was a stopgap measure during the pandemic. Correct,
they want that permanently entrenched. And then I had to
take another House member out back and draw stuff on

(59:38):
the sidewalk and crayon and help him understand when he's like,
they're telling us that illegals are getting medicaid, and it's like, okay,
here's the way it works. They go to the er
laws on the books say they have to be treated,
they get temporary medicaid while they're in house, and the
hospital gets reimbursed by Medicaid. I e illegals are getting

(01:00:01):
medicated getting medicaid.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
I was in that fight with I think it was
my brother. My brother and I were in that fight
about the whole You know, illegals don't get medicaid, and
I said, yes, they do. And I had to explain
to him the process and he was very gracious. He
said I was not aware of that. And I was like,

(01:00:25):
if the information is right there, you can go to
any hospital and they'll give you the information. They will
tell you because by law it has to be disclosed.
And he said I did not know that either, and
I was like, yeah, I know a lot of people
don't know. But here's the thing. I know you watch

(01:00:45):
MS now I have to call it by the name. Now.
I know you watch that because I've been at your
home and that's what your wife puts it on so
I know that that that's what you watch. But here's
the thing you have to understand. As as much as

(01:01:07):
you think that Fox News leans very right, ms now
leans very left, they literally came out that they were
in arm of the Democratic Party when Hillary Clinton was
running against Trump. They said that on TV. I remember
because I heard it. I can't find that clip to
save my life, but I remember hearing it. And he

(01:01:32):
was like, are you sure they said that. I was like,
I'm very positive. They said that I would not lie
about something like that. That is so ostentatious. There's no
freaking way a lie would be less would be more
believable than less. That's how That's how outrageous it was.
And he's like, I didn't know. I said, I'm not
forcing him to watch Fox News. I'm not watching you

(01:01:54):
know News Nation nothing. I told him, you watch whatever
you want. I said, You're problem is that you're taking
their word for it, and you should do the verification
on your own. And so he's a little bit more
open to that now, but you know, we didn't have
that discussion. He was he said very much so that

(01:02:16):
medicare is not for legals. Illegals don't get Medicare, and
I'm like, yes they do. And I I remember when
I worked at the hospital and ours was you know,
it's a general hospital, it's a public hospital. It was
right there anybody. I mean, we're literally twenty miles from
the southern border to Mexico, and they would come across

(01:02:40):
and they would get, you know, treated, and then they
would go back and Medicare had to pay the hospital.
I still remember that, and that was back in ninety one.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
Never happened. Never happened all the time. The most revealing
aspect was about a month month and a half ago
or something. The Democrats were up in arms because Ice
was petitioning Medicaid to obtain the records in various states

(01:03:13):
so they could track down the illegals. And the argument
was not there's no way illegals on Medicaid. The argument was,
you can't do this, hip of this and all these
other violations that you're going through because they knew full
well there's illegals on Medicaid. So their entire argument is

(01:03:36):
rooted in absolutely nothing but wish casting.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
I gotta answer Danielle. Danielle's question is, how is Fetterman
the sound person in the Democrat Party. He had a stroke.
That's why he's the sound person.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
Yeah he saw the light. He probably saw quite a
few of them actually, but yeah, that tender. Well, you
did mention the big news from this morning, the desperate
move by Pete Hexit to distract away from the Epstein
files like giving a speech.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
I have to say this. I have to say this.
My brother in law is in a very high position
at a military base and he was not a fan
of Pete Hexath at all. Didn't like him. He said
that Pete is concentrating on magnutiated that he shouldn't be doing.

(01:04:38):
This is not what the Secretary Defense does. Blah blah
blah and all that stuff. And I told him, I said,
believe me what I tell you. There's a reason to
the madness. Now, my brother in law, dude is really
high up Okay. He was worked in the Biden administration,

(01:05:01):
he worked in the Trump administration. He now works he's
now in a very high position in Okay. But he
thought that Pete Hegseth was micromanaging things that had no
business being micromanaged. And I told him, I said, trust
a process, and he was like, why do you say that?

(01:05:24):
And I was like, because there have been certain complaints
that he talked about, and I see what he's doing.
I see that he's underpinning certain things because something big
is coming down the bike. Well, then this happened where
he called all of the generals and their high ranking enlisted. Okay,

(01:05:51):
it wasn't just the generals, it was also their high
ranking and listed. So a lot of the command sergeant
ventures were there, you know, and all that stuff. And
of course the first thing that they're bitching about in
the media is this could have been taken on a
zoom call. No, it could not have been done by
a zoom call. There are lots of generals, and there's

(01:06:11):
lots of command sergeant major's, and a zoom call could
have somebody could have just pushed the mute button and
just pretended to listen and not taken any heat. But
being there, you're forced to listen. You're forced to actually
be there and have to deal with what the Secretary
of War is telling you. So this happens, My brother

(01:06:34):
in law's watching where he's at, I'm watching over here.
I get a message on my signal. Oh my god,
this is so epic. I love this man. I'm not
even joking. He's like totally a fan. Now I said,
this is what I was talking about. He had to
remove certain things so that when this came down, there

(01:06:56):
was nothing to bolster their stuff up that I would
argue against. That's taken out.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
The micromanagement explanation doesn't work either, because he's not dictating
what stock paper to use and what color pens are
to be.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
No, and this is a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (01:07:15):
Problems in the military that he's addressing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
When hag Seth had that challenge with RFK Junior about
the fifty to twenty five to fifty or whatever it
was called, that was a test. He was actually testing
the generals, believe it or not, to see if the
generals actually encouraged everyone to do so. He took note
of the generals that did, and he took note of

(01:07:39):
the generals that didn't. That was one of the things
that he took issues with, not that the generals didn't
push what he was, you know, encouraging other people to do,
but the fact that the generals were not thinking about
the long range situation with the challenge, what the challenge
actually meant. You're actually testing your soldiers to see if

(01:08:01):
they're battle ready, okay, And now he comes down and says,
fat General's you're gonna have to do the same thing
that your soldiers are doing, your air men are doing,
your marines are doing, your semen are doing. They have
to take PT twice a year. They have to meet
a certain weight height ratio. So do you no more

(01:08:23):
of this? Oh I'm a general. I don't have to
do that shit. It is embarrassing. Admittedly, you know, even
when we were younger, General schwarz Goolf was a very
big guy, but he was pretty fit, and he was
out in the front lines. That guy was like doing
the same shit that his list that were doing. There

(01:08:44):
was no question that that guy was actually out there
with his guys.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
You how many people in the press were bitching about
this whole meeting and what he was talking about. And
it's like, would you just don't even go there. You
are so out of her depth right now, and he's
fat shaming generals.

Speaker 1 (01:09:04):
Good night, Calvin, give my best to mas becauses.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
I want I want to say I was disappointed in
the speech because you know how those commercials we used
to air on kaylor En Radio about certain little blue
pills and the warning about four hours. I want to
sue hag sis because mine lasted four hours after listening
to it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
You should go see a physician.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Or a hello nurse. It was and he and here,
you know a lot of people are saying, oh, he
just gave a ted talk. Yeah, he was walking up
and down. He was not behind the podium because he
was tacking to the guys that he's in charge. Oh,
and he was telling them, this is what you're gonna
need to do. No more of this. We're not concentrating

(01:09:57):
on climate change. That has nothing to do with him military.
Our purpose is this. One of the big things was
we are apolitical. For the longest time, I was told,
for those of you who don't know, I'm a military wife,
we were told we could not be heterosexual. No, we couldn't.

(01:10:20):
My husband could not hold my hand, he could not
you know, he could escort me, but he couldn't hold
my hand. He could has his arm around me, he
couldn't do any of the things out there while he
was in uniform. But the homosexuals got away with it.
And that was something that really rankled a lot of people,
not because they were against homosexuality, but because it was

(01:10:44):
a double standard that the military was using to advance
an agenda. Now, had they said, okay, since they can
do it, you know, everybody can, we wouldn't have had
a problem. But we still couldn't do it. We couldn't
go to any military parades and hold hands with our

(01:11:08):
spouses or anything like that. As a matter of fact,
whenever I took my kids, my husband had to stand
at attention. He could not be holding my kids hands.
I couldn't. I had to wrangle the kids all the
time because he was not allowed to. But some virtue,
you know, when.

Speaker 2 (01:11:25):
They go to does that make any sense?

Speaker 1 (01:11:28):
Though it doesn't. It doesn't. We're supposed to be.

Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
That kind of shift in standards where the individuals inside
the military are granted special behaviors that that under they
use the entire basis of the military.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
Well, they didn't used to. Back in the nineties, that
don't ask, don't tell came out. That was very clunky,
but it was designed so that those who had who
were in the LGBT community had a certain protection and
they would not be discriminated again, discriminated against or taking

(01:12:06):
out of the military for their lifestyle. And it worked
you didn't ask, they didn't say anything. Everything was fine.
They kept it private. Everything was kept private, and that
was that was the issue. We were supposed to keep
everything private. As heterosexuals, they were supposed to do as well,
and they did for a long time. And then we

(01:12:28):
had our first gay president, Obama. And I'm not saying
that he was gay. I'm saying that that's what Newsweet
called him. I still have I have it somewhere. I
have the issue that called him the first gay president.

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
Okay, Well they had to say that because Bill Clinton
was the first black president.

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
Right, the first Yeah, totally, he had to have something new.
So and because of that, a lot of things were done,
were relaxed, a lot of things were done to accommodate.
And at first everything was fine because it was just
LGB and then the t came along and it just

(01:13:08):
snowballed from there. And now hag Seth is saying there's
no room for that. Now a lot of people are saying, well,
you're just being a transphobe for taking people out of
the military, and so no, here's the situation when it
comes to transgender issues in the military. When you identify
as a transgender person, that means that you're going to

(01:13:32):
commit to taking certain medication, and that's fine. But the
problem is in the military, you're supposed to be combat ready. Now,
that doesn't mean that you're going into combat. You're just
going to a combat zone. Women go to combat zones
all the time. Nurses, logistics, supply chain, whatever, you know, whatever,

(01:13:58):
you know the slot more a woman has, they go
to combat zones all the time. It's not that you're
going to the combat lions, it's just that you're going
to the zone you're going to, you know, downrange. If
you are taking these medications, that removes you from that pool.
You're no longer combat ready, You're no longer able to

(01:14:19):
fulfill your duties as a member of the military. That's
the issue, and that becomes a liability to the military.
This is the This is the thing that we have
been trying to explain to people. It's not about transphobia.
As an adult, you can make that decision and that's fine,

(01:14:40):
but when you sign up to the military, it is
with the understanding that you aren't going to be combat ready.
You've given your life to the military to serve this country,
and if you're not going to serve it, you're going
to have to get up. And that's the issue.

Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
This is your problem them back when they were allowing
women into the army in major numbers, and not that
in and of itself that's an issue, but the whole
selling point at the time is they said women could
do all the same things men can do if they
go through basic training, it's not a problem. And the

(01:15:19):
feminist groups were monitoring this and saw that, like there
was some unacceptable number of females flunking out or failing
to pass, and they were like, where was this happening,
what's the matter? And they found out it was all
at the same for the most part, at the same location,
and that involved the hand grenade throw. They weren't able
to throw a hand grenade forty five feet or more.

(01:15:42):
And this was sexual. This is discriminatory, it's misogynistic. It's like,
no you ding bats because forty five feet is the
blast radius of your average hand grenade.

Speaker 1 (01:15:52):
Right. The best quick fun fact, the best hand gredaide
throwers that are female tend to be softball players.

Speaker 3 (01:16:00):
Yes, And I'm going to step in there a moment.
I apologize because my older sister was a radio operator
E five in the Army. She is gay, and you know,
one of one of her things that she had to ask,
you know, do you have any problems with with with gays?
And she's like, no, I have no problems onsoever. She

(01:16:21):
was being truthful, but yet here she was gay.

Speaker 1 (01:16:24):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:16:25):
But as Brad mentioned, she was not only a softball
player but a baseball player, so she was able to
pass a lot of the physical tests at the time,
and there were never any questions about her being put
into a zone where you look at a lot of
modern day individuals who will fit into a certain category

(01:16:47):
that are laughably not going to make any of these
test scores passing.

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
Well. We saw that during the Trump assass nation attempt
when there was that collection of female Secret Service agents
and the one couldn't even get her gun in a
holster appropriately. I mean, it's just that's that should be
second nature. You don't even think about it. And I'm
watching this woman struggle for a good fifteen seconds to

(01:17:18):
get her gun holstered. It was that clearly there were
standards lowered, whether it's DEI or other. I mean, this
is just the basics and the people that want social
action and want to start imposing their will on standards
and practices. This is what happened. So the military basically

(01:17:40):
back then had to remove the hand grenade requirement in
order to get a quote appropriate unquote amount of women
to pass basic training. I guess, and you were already
starting to compromise your effectiveness in the field right there.

Speaker 1 (01:18:00):
It's I don't want to say it's it's ludicrous, but
I mean, I'm so happy that he Saith has said
we're going to have one standard for combat. It's going
to be the male standard. And if you meet that,
which is the old standard, great. If you don't, that's
fine too. You don't have to. But we cannot lower

(01:18:23):
the standards in order to accommodate women. I'm not saying
women can't go to combat. Hell, you put a bunch
of Hispanic women with chankles in the front line, and
I am sure we can win it. We could take it.
That is not a problem. The problem.

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
We are also known to be very good marks marksmen,
mars people.

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
Yeah. The problem is in the fact that when you
have a woman in that situation, the men feel the
need to protect that woman from you know, in that
situation instead of you know, constant trading on the matter
at hand, and so it can be it can be bad.

(01:19:06):
And this was the issue that was brought up time
and time again. Nobody was paying attention because oh my god,
you're so misogynistic, and I'm like, I'm not misogynistic. I
know women can pull a trigger just as good as
women and men can. The problem lies with putting them
in the same place. Israel has the same problem, and
women are required to, you know, to be in the

(01:19:27):
IDF too.

Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
It's just like, now, are you allowed to be misogynistic?
I wasn't aware of that.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
I because by virtue of that fact that I leaned
right that I am conservative, i am allowed to be misogynistic, homophobic,
I'm allowed to be epyck. And it's apparently, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
It's one of those fluid standards that I'm unfamiliar with. Okay,
whatever makes sense.

Speaker 1 (01:19:57):
Now, explosive chunk listening to be a thing. Delaney makes
a good point. They need to be a thing.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
I mean, it's kind of like when those black individuals
were shot by police in Baltimore and they turned out
to be black police officers, but it was still systemic
racism somehow.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
Well, I know that we're coming up on our our
the last thing. But I have a story for you.

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
Do you now?

Speaker 1 (01:20:22):
I do? And I cannot believe that you did not
find about this. Maybe you did, maybe you covered it
in a previous thing. But there was a whiskey heist.

Speaker 2 (01:20:34):
I did see this, Yes, did.

Speaker 1 (01:20:35):
You see the Westland whiskey. There was the highest of
their really tresh share whiskey. Apparently it's a very limited edition,
a single barrel and they produced it says seven hundred,

(01:20:56):
seven hundred bottles and thirty five hundred for the Guaryana
and they were stolen. And the Garyana is their their
most exclusive, most rare, And so I'm wondering who's going
to end up with these bottles because it's not like

(01:21:17):
it's not like you can easily fence this stuff. Everybody
knows what it is, and everybody knows how expensive it is,
and everybody knows that it's very very limited. But yeah,
I'm wondering where this is going to be turning it. Yeah,
this was a This was worth over a million dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
In million dollar heist with just seven five hundred bottles.
Actually no, I think it was Hang on, and do
you know, I think it was twelve thousand bottles, so
you're looking a thousand cases even right there.

Speaker 1 (01:21:52):
So that is insane.

Speaker 2 (01:21:57):
That an inside job right there.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
I it remind say of the Pappy Highest remember when
we covered that one a few years ago, because it
was a Netflix show.

Speaker 2 (01:22:07):
But I was another one too on Netflix that was
all about It wasn't even the top end stuff. It
was just some guy that found out that every so
often he could just roll a couple of barrels the
Jim Beam planting fromhim in the back of his truck
and not get noticed. And this went on for I
think a year or two. He had like his own

(01:22:30):
side business selling contraband Jim Beam or Jack Daniels. And
I'm thinking, you know, the whole time I'm watching, it's
kind of fascinated, really good, but it's like you're in
a damn dry county. Somebody's selling black market. Jack is
going to get noticed at some point in time, I
would think, but yeah, this is a this is a

(01:22:51):
real thing. This happens at that million damn dollars though.

Speaker 1 (01:22:56):
For I don't know who got the bottles. I don't
know how that gonna get rid of the models. I
don't think I'm going to sell it to But whoever
buys those bottles can't actually put them out.

Speaker 2 (01:23:07):
Well, I think the very fact that it made the
news make them more expensive.

Speaker 1 (01:23:12):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
Hey did you see that report about that whiskey hes?
I know a guy.

Speaker 1 (01:23:18):
