Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:29):
The following program contains course language and adult themes. A
listener discretion is advised and welcome to another episode of

(01:06):
The Cocktail Lounge. I am your hostess with the Mostes Eggie.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
And with me as always as the ever slav affable
and walk coaffable co host Brad Slacker. Are you doing tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Better than you? It sounds like I'm tired. Fine, fine,
I'll have to carry you on my back tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
I suppose, yes, you know, I'm just here for the
good looks. That's it. I'm the I'm the pretty face.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Why douse you're talking about me? I was gonna say,
drink it in, but okay, I see what you mean.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
There's no video of me. That's why. Anyway. So how
are you doing today?

Speaker 3 (01:55):
We're good, We're good. It's been the usual busyness and
hecknic At least my home life is settled down, but
work wise and news and politics and all that has not,
so I've been able to actually cover it effectively. So
that's going well. It's been uh no, it's been fun.
It's been fun time.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
It has been a banner banner week. I suppose I
know that you were very busy with last minute parties
and stuff because your granddaughter was visiting you and sadly
she left, and I know that you're a little low
on that. I would be too, I know.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
I'm I always choose to focus on the positive. So
it's like, Okay, it's calm, it's quiet. Not that she
was a monster, but it was just everybody kept coming
over and there was always something to do or somewhere
to go. And it's like, I'm still working. You know.
It's like you gotta.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Say that because because you're it's your job and unfortunately
it's at home. But they see you at home and
they think, oh, it's it's okay you're not working.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
But see, I would get it from both sides, and
the kids are just like, come on, you always said
it a year ago and then here comes away. You know,
she only been here for another five days and you're
not going to see her again. I'm not Jewish, so
in the guilt trip.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
You're not catholicing there.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
So yeah, it's just been the way it's been going.
So I whether that. But now it's okay. Now I'm
I'm kind of back on my own schedule now going well,
and I'm watching all the news come out, and there
was some important polling that came out.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, so I heard whatever.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
What you're not you're not happy or thrilled.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Or referring to the ap College pole.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
I am at that, given that that was the original
basis of this program.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
So yeah, again, whatever I am. I'm okay, fine, I
am a little salty because you your team is ranked
higher than mine.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
It's okay, see, but there's a very it's not that
big a deal. It's pretty much a very common sense
reason for that. We're just better.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I am sharpening my chankla as I as I sit here.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
It's okay, No, you're you guys know I saw.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
I was kind of surprised that the Longhorse would ranked first,
and I believe it was. Wait, I think Nittany Lions
are ranked in the top five. Two.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Who's that? I'm sorry you broke up.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Nittany Lions, Penn State.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Yep, they're at number two. Pretty close. Actually, there was like, uh,
there's only like two first place votes separating them, and
they were five point differential. I mean it was real tight.
But yeah, first time in school history that UT is
the preseason number one favorite.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
I I don't really care for this poll because nobody
has played yet, so we really don't know. And it
sometimes it exceeds expectations, and sometimes the expectations are completely
dashed in the first couple of days.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
So this is usually speculative to begin with because it's preseason,
of course, but this year I think even more so
because with the nil and all of the transfer portal
nonsense going on. Who knows for the most part, because

(05:56):
many of the programs don't remain the same. I mean,
they could have ten or a dozen guys end up
leaving at the end of the season, and so this
could be starters, this could be your recruits. You never
know from year to year. I mean, look at Miami
at number ten. The whole reason is because we got

(06:19):
cars and back the quarterback from Georgia transferred over. Okay,
So it's really a case of you know, year to year,
you don't really know this year, especially though it's going
to be really screwed up because the first week technically
the first week is not Labor Day week, and they

(06:42):
have like kind of a light schedule the week prior,
but Labor Day is where the whole slate goes off.
There are three games opening week, that involve top ten
teams playing each other, so you're gonna have complete upheval.
In the first week of the polling, or technically the
second week, Texas plays Ohio State, who's at number three,

(07:08):
and who is it? Is it? Clemson and LSU ranked
fourth and ninth, we'll be playing each other. And then
on that Sunday before Labor Day, Notre Dame is coming
down to Miami. Number six plays number ten.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
So how how is it that anybody still respects Notre Dame?
I just don't say it. I don't well.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
And this is the thing. I mean, it's it's pure
name because two of their quarterbacks left the program last year,
so they've got two guys coming in who've never played
before but are considered equal and are playing each other
for the starting role, so they don't even know who's
gonna start, and they're number three. It's just ridiculous. I

(07:51):
guess some good news. Alabama comes in at number eight.
Not a lot of respect there after last year's nine
to four record. Anybody else have known. Arizona State was
kind of a surprise last year, so they've earned number eleven.
They're the top ranked Big twelve team and smu. What

(08:13):
about that they were like the Cinderella last year making
the playoffs. Yeah, first time in forty years that they've
been a preseason top twenty five.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
I know, I was around when they were they were
still in the Southwest Conference when that happened.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Back in the death penalty days.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, I think it was. I want to say it
was right prior to the death penalty. I want to
say it was forty five somewhere about there that they
were last in there and then they got the death
penalty and they were dead in the water.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
But anyway, it took them quite a while to recover,
Like Miami got slapped with some similar sanctions a while back,
but they kind of climb back into things after about
seven to ten years. Maybe. But it's gonna be, uh,
it's going to be an interesting year. We really won't
know what the hell's going on until October. I'm pretty
much convinced because it is. It's just simply a case

(09:16):
that we don't know, you know. And everybody's excited in
Texas because Arch Manning is going to be the starting quarterback. Okay,
but he's played like a handful of scrub games. He
hasn't really been an effective starter yet, so that's a
question mark.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
I'm i this is for me has been a name
recognition type of thing. But I mean, he's a good player.
It's just I don't think he's been tested. But you know,
he's got a whole season.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
So well, I'm gonna say probably the top four teams Texas,
Penn State, Ohio State, and Clemson. They've probably retained the
most of their integrity coming into this year, so that's
why they're stacked at the top. Georgia lost a ton
of players, as they do every year, to the pros,
so that's a question mark. Notre Dame, what the hell?

(10:14):
What are they doing there? Oregon comes in at number seven.
I think they're still looking at them to have a
potent offense. Alabama's a question mark. LSU's got a top
flight quarterback. They probably could be. They should be ranked higher.
In Miami, Arizona State. South Carolina at thirteen's a little

(10:35):
bit of a surprise. They had a pretty decent year
last season.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
I love South Carolina.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Michigan. You got Florida Gators at fifteen.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
That's uncomfortably close.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Well, they they weren't that effective last year and their
quarterback is coming off a pretty significant injury. They said
he he's basically just to win throwing reps right now.
He's not even running yet. I don't know what that's
all about. Oklahoma they got a new quarterback, so there's
some hope there with them at eighteen. Texas A and
m is nineteen.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Honestly, I don't even know why we're up there, but whatever.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
I'm saying, No, I think he got a pretty decent team.
I just think the problem with that is you play
in the SEC now, so that's always going to be tough.
That's just the reality of things pretty much, you know,
the rest of it. The only it's really cracking me
up still that the PAC twelve is done gone. They're

(11:44):
trying to reinstitute it. They say next season they may
be able to return in some capacity. But we've really
only got four power conferences now and Mountain West Boise
State comes in at number twenty five. That's the only
representation they have. So I'm not I'm not looking at

(12:08):
a real varied pole here. I mean, it's pretty much
top loaded with SEC. They got ten teams preseason ranked.
Big Ten's got six, Big twelve's got four. ACC has three.
So this is kind of the shakeup coming up. So

(12:30):
in about two weeks, shit's about to get real.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Well, we shall see. Like I said, I don't like
this particular poll because none of the teams have had
a chance to actually play, and for me, it makes
more sense after the maybe the second game, to actually
start putting out a pole out there, rather than ranking
them before they go out. I remember one year we

(12:59):
were ranked I'm pretty sure it was nineteenth. I think
we're very comfortable at nineteen for some word reason I
don't understand, but there have been several years where we
come in ranked at nineteen and after the first two
games that we had, we ended up being ranked like eighth.

(13:19):
And I'm like, this makes no sense. Moving a couple, yes,
but moving nine spots. I mean, that's just to me.
It was just really well and with more than nine,
but it was ridiculous. And you know, you had Gosh,
what's his name the Ducks. They were ranked fifth, and

(13:42):
they lost one game and won the next game, but
they dropped from fifth to twelfth, and I'm like, it's
just to me, it makes no sense. I'd rather they
play a couple of games, even including the preseason, you
know game, and then the first game, and then you
have a better idea of where to rank the teams.
To me, this means nothing. And I don't say that

(14:03):
out of means spirited net because of who's strength number one.
I'm just saying that it makes more sense to me
to do that.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, you know, there's so much subjectivity because these are
the sports writers. But I mean, you know, if you
don't win in a sexy manner, that can punish you,
or if you get you know, really craphammered, or maybe
your star quarterback goes down, that can knock you down
seventy eight pegs. You know, that kind of thing comes

(14:32):
into play here. It's not necessarily a objective measurement of things.
So I've seen years too where teams can be separated
by four or five spots and the lower team will win,
but they can't jump them in the poll for some reason.
And it's yeah, they're probably better, you saw it, But no,

(14:55):
you can't do that. So you got to put up
with the poll to a certain degree. And yeah, this
one is the most probably the most useless, but it
gives you at least a starting point, and that's what
it's all about and hey, it's excitement. We can start
talking about college football again.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yay, which is you know how a Pod Divided started,
which turned into the Cocktail Lounge. But you know, I'm
looking forward to college football. I prefer college football to
professional but of late they've become pretty synonymous what you do.

(15:36):
So I'm like, I'm not sure where I'm going to
go here. I might just move down to high school
and be comfortable there, you know. And that's funny. I
should bring that up because I plan on buying season
tickets to the local high school football games. So I just,
you know, I miss going to a high school football game.

(16:00):
It was fun, it was it was there was this.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Well that's a Texas thing too. I mean, that's that's it.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Is, it is, it is. It's very much in our state.
But it's just it's it's it's just neat to be
sitting there. And I feel the same way about a
you know, a baseball game. I'd rather be there. I can't.
I don't enjoy it much on TV. But I think

(16:27):
I don't know, know, I it's just me. I guess
I don't know. I just don't want to be It
gets me out of the house.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Got it reserve excite and hey, uh, quinn Ewers has
left college this year, he's turned pro. He's here in Miami.
Got to see the boy play a little bit on
Sunday preseason game, and it was really hilarious to see

(16:56):
him wearing aquamarine football. Well, we'll see. He's kind of
like third ranked right now. We're waiting to see if
they're going to hang on to him or not. I
believe his debut is what they would call, you know,
auspicious so far. But it was one game one. Basically,

(17:17):
I think two series is all he was out there for.
So we gotta wait and see see if he sticks
or not. Interesting. Nonetheless, well we shall see.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
I certainly hope that my team just stays ranked. I mean,
I have no hopes to breaking, you know, for breaking
the top ten. But I just hope they do well
enough that they have a winning season and go to
a college bowl and you know, have fun. I hope
that a lot of teams do well this year. I'll

(17:56):
just leave it at that.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
He seems are reserved about this.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Okay, I hope your team does well because you know,
you're over there, not here, So.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, there's no uh, you know, we're not butting heads
like the original format of this program with your former
host who were kind of at odds with each other,
interstate and all that.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
So well, to be fair, it was it was a
lot of fun. And I'm sure yeah, being you know,
being that she was a longhorn and I'm an aggie,
it made it even more fun when we talked about
our football games. But at the time that we had
to show, we were in different conferences, so it wasn't
like we were you know, we would play each other.

(18:45):
There was no chance of that happening now now that
the Texas is now in the SEC, now that you know,
they will be on our schedule permanently. So I think
out of all of them, there are three. I don't
know how they did it, but three. We will have
three permanent games with three particular you know, there will

(19:09):
be three football teams that will play A and M
every year, and UT is one of them, so it
should be fun.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
Well, I'm just happy to a degree because it looks
like the Florida Gators are entertaining the idea of meeting
up with Miami on a regular basis.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
I think that would be kind of cool. Not gonna lie.
I think it would be cool just to watch the
fireworks in my family because I told you I have
four cousins who went to Miami and four cousins that
attended you know, Florida Gainesville, and so it's always they're

(19:48):
always teeth gnashing going on every football season, every single
you know. My aunt just stays out of it completely.
She's like, y'all whatever. But if if it does come
to pass, dude, I'll be bite their front rope with
popcorn watching my family. I won't be watching the game.
I'll just be watching them. It'll be so much fun

(20:12):
the fireworks.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
So do they all convene like at the same house
to do this or how do they do that? How
do they work it out?

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Well, actually it has if you know how ut and
Oklahoma always meet a neutral ground, neutral territory. M hmmm,
same thing they meet in Orlando.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
So well, you get to witness this firsthand on September twenty.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
So ooh okay, I am I'm gonna call my ann.
I'm gonna say I need to FaceTime everybody. I want
to be there to see what happens.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
That's kind of interesting because Miami's got Florida Intensive scheduled.
I mean we always play FSU. That's that's a given.
The two schools have to play each other. Yeah, we're
doing Bethune Cookman again, which is a different division school.
I mean, they're a historically black college up north near Daytona.

(21:18):
But then we played the South Florida Bulls that's out
of Tampa, South Florida, Tampa. Mm, good luck going to
that school. We got FSU and everything else is the
rest of it's in conference? Yeah, it looks like we
play SMU in Houston. That's gonna be tough. That's not

(21:40):
gonna be an easy one.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Well, it's really funny our I understand this. But our
first game is against USA. Now UTSA actually has a
really good team. But I didn't think they were Division one.
I thought there went division too, but I think we
were all.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
They're in a smaller conference. I think they're in. Is
it the American Athletic Is that what they're in?

Speaker 2 (22:12):
I think so, Which is funny because u TSA is
the bitter rival of Texas State, which is where my
youngest daughter matriculated from. So she is at odds because
she doesn't like A and M either and now she's like, well,

(22:33):
who do I root for? I was like a root canal.
I don't know what to tell you, but I think
our that's our First we played U TSA, and then
we play Utah State, and then on the thirteenth we
played Notre Dame, and then the at the end of
September we played Auburn. We'll claim. Then we play in

(22:58):
Mississippi State, and then we play Florida on the eleventh,
as you said, and Arkansas after that LSU at the
end of October, and we have an away game in
Missouri on the eighth, but that has a flex designation,

(23:21):
so I'm not sure what's going on with that. And
then on my birthday we play the game Cocks. I'm
so excited, I know, I just love saying that. That's
that's all. I mean, that's one of the best.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
We all know. He's a big coxman. It's always been.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
So I am. And then after that we play Samford
and then we have an away game at Austin with
U t and that's at the end of November. That's
the one I'm kind of like not sure about, but
I don't know. Everything else seems kind of I mean,

(24:12):
it's it's weird that we have UTSA and Utah State
and we have Stamford. But then you know, they throw
in Florida and they know a name there, don't. I
don't know, but you know, we'll see. I do not
look forward to, you know, the LSU game. I just don't.

(24:38):
I don't know about that one. I'm not sure about
that one. But you know, it's it's further away. They
they'll have time to actually have a more cohesive you know, click.
The team will be clicking by then. So here's hoping.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
It's going to be a fun year. I'm looking forward
to it. It should be fine. Well, we've got on
the subject of sports, since we're somewhat adjusted to you
that are you aware of the Beer mile World Championship.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
I was not aware of this, and I am kind
of ashamed that I did not know about this.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Well, I think it's more of a European thing. But nonetheless,
gentlemen by the name of Corey Bellamore doesn't enjoy the
same name recognition as Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt, but
he should because over the past five years, this thirty
year old Canadian has put together an extraordinary level of

(25:53):
dominance that may be unprecedented in the world of sports
with his achievements, Sir sing anything that is better known
peers have achieved. The beer mile. I love this. It involves.
It's a track event, four hundred meter track in a stadium,

(26:17):
in which you compete to see who can run the
mile the fastest while consuming no fewer than four beers
in that period of time.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
I'm assuming that it has to stay consumed, correct, The
beer must stay in your body.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
You can't. Are There are rules involved here? Yes? First off?

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Oh really? Okay, yep.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
You have to drink your beer and then run a
lap at the four hundred meter track, and each time
you do a lap you then have to consume a
beer and finish it before you move on. The beers
have to be twelve ounces. It couldn't be a bottle,
could be a can, but no less than five percent
alcohol content. So Mick alterra adn't gonna cut it in

(27:07):
this competition, you know what I'm saying. But any brand
bottle of beer, that's fine. Now, if you end up
vomiting while on the course, you will incur a penalty,
which is an additional lap around the track. Wow, this

(27:27):
is both aerobic and gastric. I guess as far as
your skill set is concerned.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
I.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Left, I can't. I mean, yeah, well, okay, it's actually
making me queasy just thinking about drinking beer and then running. Actually,
just thinking about running makes it queasy.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
That would definitely be the time for you to carbo
load a hours ahead of time. Get that starts in
your system, Let that absorb as much as possible, both
for endurance and for alcohol consumption.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
But I don't know the ins and outs of exercising
while drinking beer. I did not know. You know, it's
like the whole starch thing. I didn't none of that.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Well, see, here's the thing. I think you would have
a difficult time drinking four beers in an evening given
your Again.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
We have met. I've literally nursed one beer in five hours.
Well it wasn't because I was talking a lot. I
just take my time drinking a beer.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Yes, I mean, I've seen you at least put down
a couple of mohedos.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Okay, you're mojitos. I will down quickly, not a beer.
Beer will last me a while.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
Yeah no, But I mean you're you're throwing back four
beers in about a four to five minute time frame.
That's already pretty difficult to do as far as that goes,
But then you know, running on top of it, that's, uh,
that's something. So this guy's doing pretty good. I gotta
tell you. Four minutes twenty seven seconds was his record.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
That's not bad for a that's not bad for not
even drinking beer while you're running, you know.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
But yeah, I mean it's uh, I mean, wow, what
is it? Seven? Yeah, he's about forty fifty seconds over
the world record for the miles. So not only is
he doing his fast, but you got to slug down
beers down quick. I mean you can't just sit there

(29:55):
and go good good, I mean you gotta open up.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
You actually have to train yourself to open your throat
to just let it just run down your esophagus. I
hope people that do that, And I'm like, I'm always
in all when they can just do that completely, and
I'm like, how, I don't get it. Are you like
a mutant or what? But yeah, I would imagine that

(30:20):
that's what he does. He just opens his throat just
it just goes down through the esophagus without even swallowing.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yep, it's a that's a bit of an accomplishment. So
this guy's done it to five years running, He's impressive.
I mean basically he had heard about this and just
tried it out himself. So like his brother filmed him
doing this and uploaded into YouTube, and it turned out
his time was better than the world record for the
beer mile, and thus he was invited to participate.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
So I'm assuming do they have this beer mile in
just one area of I mean, is it just in Canada?
I mean where did they host it? Did they host
it in several places or what?

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Let's see does it say so you're gonna make me
read the entire.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
I'm sorry, I just I'm wondered if you know, like
it'll be hosted by one country one year, and then
I'll they'll be hosting it somewhere else one another year,
and you know, kind of like the pan Am Games,
only with beer and not metals.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Uh, let's see, this Beer Mile World Classic was in
Portugal in July. Okay, so I'm guessing this is more
of a European thing, but uh, this says America written
all over it. Sorry, we gotta we gotta get on
top of this. This is something we should have.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
So are you going to train for this? This is
not beer fest?

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Am I going to know? I'm not a runner?

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Listen, if I'm running, y'all better start running because something
is chasing me. I'm gonna tell you right now.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
I just I hate running. It's just right, it's so
mind numbingly boring. Not a fan, and put me on
a bike. I can go forever, you know I can.
I can do it. My buddy and I we went
from Fort Lauderdale to South Beach and then back in
the day. And that was with a nice hour respite
or so spent at a couple of the bars down

(32:31):
there in South Beach.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
But I can walk, and I'll keep walking, and I
will walk and not be aware of how far I've walked.
The last time that I was down at South Padra Island.
As you all know, South Pondra Island is this one
long strip. I mean, it's a very thin island and
there it's actually divided into thirds. A lot of people

(32:59):
don't know that, but the bottom third is called South
Potter Island. And I was with friends and we decided
to walk up and suddenly there is no one around,
and I'm like, what happened, and we turn around, we
look and we had left civilization. We had no idea
that we had walked so far, and so we started

(33:21):
walking back, and of course my girlfriends have to like
stop and oh the feet hurt, blah blah blah and
all that stuff. And I'm like, seriously, just kept walking
and I was not aware.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
Do not get tipped off in a lack of establishments.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Oh, and you would think so, because you know, it's
a very populated area, and this was before Schlitterbahn opened
and they've since changed their name to something else. You know,
they have a water park there, they have several amusement areas.
They have you know, they I think they built a
peer now or something with things on it, and you know,

(34:00):
several restaurants and lots and lots of condos, lots and
lots of hotels, lots and lots of you know, places
to stay and all that stuff. And suddenly there was
there was something, and I was kind of like, oh,
I think we walked too far, and so we put
a marker, you know, and then my dad actually took

(34:24):
us and we drove out and we found the marker
and we had walked eight miles up the coast. We
did not know that we had walked that far. And
you know, coming back, you know, I was still walking
and I you know, I could feel you know, my legs,
you know, kind of rubbery and all that stuff. But
I still wanted to walk, and I kept walking and

(34:44):
kept wing, and my girlfriends were like, oh no, we
got to stop. We gotta stop. So I can walk
for long periods of time. But running no, no running
me running No, Like I said, if I'm running, y'all
check behind me, because something's changed in me and y'all
better take off.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah. Not my not my thing either, So I will
not be competing in the beer mile. Now. If they
have something like I don't know, like rhino run on
a bike or something like that, maybe see if we
can do that.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
But.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Not for me. Well, has anything been going on in
the nation's capital or maybe I should rephrase that, what
has Donald Trump done? The pissed people off? Now?

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Uh, you know it's a day ending and why so,
of course he has pissed off several people. But apparently
he invoked a very well known rule and decided to
federalize the Washington, DC area. Now, for those I'm sure,

(35:51):
everybody's familiar. DC starts for District of Columbia. It's a
federal district. It's s supposed to be under the auspices
of Congress. But Nixon, I don't know what the hell
he was thinking, or maybe he was high, or maybe
he was just trying to bribe somebody. He decided to
let them, you know, do their own thing. I said, yeah, yah, yeah,

(36:13):
you can. You can rule yourselves. It's okay, And I'm
pretty sure that's when everything started going downhill for DC.
But of late, I mean there, I hear from a
lot of people they no longer go to d C
after sundown. It has gotten that bad. And I have

(36:33):
I have quite a few friends that live in the area.
As a matter of fact, our beloved Calvin lives close
enough to d C that he feels he should not
be in there after dark. I want to say. One
of my cousins travels to d C a lot. She

(36:55):
has since decided not to travel to d C as often.
She she tries to do all of her work remotely
rather than going in and dealing with the stuff in
DC because it's gotten that bad. I know people who
have I mean, I used to whenever I went to
d C. I had a Metro card and I would

(37:16):
write all of the you know, I would write the metro,
the subway, whatever you want to call it. I'd get off,
whatever my stop was, I'd go and i'd walk, and
I felt safe and it was fine. I remember one
night my sister and I went and we decided to
look at the monuments lit up in the evening and

(37:39):
nothing happened. I mean, it was fine. This was back
in twenty sixteen, I think it was, And so everything
was fine. My sister was in DC for business and
as she's leaving the hotel, she sees somebody attack someone

(38:03):
right outside the hotel doors. She turned right back around,
goes back upstairs, calls from her hotel room and says,
I am not coming in. There has been that somebody
was just attacked right outside the hotel. I don't feel safe.
And they offered to go pick her up, and she said,
absolutely not. I will be conducting you know, the conference

(38:26):
through you know, my computer during a zoom call. I
am not going in. I'm not leaving here until my
taxi comes to get me to take me to the report.
She stayed in her hotel the entire time. She was
there five days, never step foot outside. Wow, and you
know we're supposed to believe that. Oh no, the crime
rate has gone down. Well, that's probably because you're cooking

(38:49):
the books or not even adding to the books.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
Yeah. The media reaction to this has been curious, by
which I mean lying their ass off. They keep referring
to statistics. This is down, murders are down. All this nonsense,

(39:13):
And I call nonsense because it's probably wrong. But try
this on for amusement. One of the things I'm starting
to do in my media column is I come up
with nuseum art pieces when the press does something of
just magnificent beauty that has to be put in a
frame and hung on a wall because it's so insanely stupid.

(39:38):
Here's one of my latest art installations, courtesy of the
Washington Post. Very lengthy piece about this how crime is down,
and here are the stats, numerous charts, all kinds of
supposed proof. This is the last paragraph and then sentence.

(39:59):
This is a safe city, says one resident. But overhearing
and witning gang threats and then watching the camera footage
of the thuggery is disturbing, said this resident, speaking on
the condition of anonymity. Now, gee, I wonder why why

(40:21):
would this individual not give their name out? I'm curious. Oh,
here it explains it over concerns of personal safety. Now
this is one sentence. This is a safe city. I'm
not going to give you a name over my concerns
of personal safety. I'm sorry, you've already lost me. But

(40:46):
they go on. The crowds of teens, he said, were
roaming the street and appeared to be checking for unlocked
cars and things to steal. Okay, this is specific what
Donald Trump has been referencing in order to take over
law enforcement in the town. And then they close out

(41:07):
with this. The language Trump uses to describe DC is wrong,
he said. But clearly there is something bad going on
that needs to stop. That is too abjectly opposing comments
Trump is full of crap and completely wrong. By the way,

(41:28):
somebody needs to get in here and do something about this.
I mean, what the hell is going on here? This
is this is the case, and I'm looking at others
Dana Bashitt CNN and Kendalanian and said, oh, crime stats
are down, what are they talking about? Well, I'll tell
you what we're talking about. Ken Since you're a journalist

(41:54):
in DC, that's where you're located. I just maybe would
apprise you of this little nugget. The DC police commander
was suspended accused of get this now, altering the crime statistics.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
I mean, you can't make this up. Come up with this, yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
The DC Police union said that directives were handed down
to change offense classifications from the command staff. So, in
other words, if somebody got busted for a felony, they
make it a misdemeanor, just and let them go. Let
I'm on the run recognizance, and now guess what happens.
Arrests are down, hey, convictions down? What do you know,

(42:44):
so when you don't do your job, the stats come
back to show that you're doing your job. How about that?

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Well, I mean even the ABC News affiliate, the anchor
woman was talking about, you know how they say that
it's down twenty six percent or whatever it is for
the year. But she says, she was talking about, how,
you know, two blocks from there, one of the people

(43:13):
that works there was attacked and someone was killed not
far from there, and she herself was attacked two years ago,
not far from the studio, And she's like, you cannot
tell me that crime isn't happening or that it's down.
It doesn't. It doesn't make sense that the percentage that

(43:36):
you guys are flouting does not make sense with what
everyone else is seeing. And when you have an anchor
actually saying that on TV two other people that are
you know, on her panel, that was kind of revealing
to me. I'm like, I don't think that this is
going the way the people who like to rule the

(44:00):
roost over in DC wanted to go.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
No, this is a clear case of what we just
see all the time. Now. When that's if Donald Trump
does anything, the automatic reaction is it's wrong, It can't
be right, can't do it, has to be stopped. So
he wants to go in and stop crime.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
And you would think that this would be a good thing.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
But they lapsed into all of the common troops. Well,
this is just authoritarianism. He's taken over a city. This
is going to spread from city to city across the country.
This is exactly what the Nazis did all of this.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
That was my favorite troll of the whole thing. Who knows,
I may do it to New York, I may do
it to LA I may do it to San Francisco.
I was dying because obviously he cannot do it. DC
is different because it is a federal district. It doesn't
actually belong to a state. It's its own thing and
originally supposed to be under the purview of Congress. So

(45:06):
it was funny because Muriel Bowser was actually she sent
her lawyers to go check to make sure that this
was illegal, and they all came back saying, yeah, it's not.
And she was. I mean, her tears were so delicious,
they were awesome, I gotta say, because she was visibly

(45:28):
upset when she found out that the president in fact
has the powder powder the power to actually institute to
federalize the federal district because it's federal. I mean, she
was like, and I think for her, it's not about

(45:52):
the fact that Trump has the power to do this,
it's about the fact that it is coming to light
that she is ineffective at her job.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
Oh yeah, and I'm you know, I've seen stories come
out of DC regarding crime for years now, and it's
frequently the case where one of the bigger problems they
have is under age youth committing serious crime and it's
going unaddressed. They don't want to arrest them because they're young,
or because they don't have juvy to put them in,

(46:21):
or some other reasons.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Well, they actually change the laws to where they can't
arrest them, and if they do arrest them, they put
them in juvie and then the records are sealed, so
there's nothing that federally can be done. He actually saying
I have I can't do anything because of the laws,
you know.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
So, and that's why they wanted to change and to
address the problem. That's the thing is that this is
just like with DOGE, where they came out and just
screamed and yelled about oh well there's means and people
are gonna die. So you're against cutting government waste, now
they're against preventing violent crime. It's astounding what box they

(47:03):
put themselves in. And one of my favorite arguments here
too is when he announced this, oh well funny on
January sixth, he didn't have the National Guard come in,
you dumbasses. Couple of things. He offered it up and

(47:24):
was declined. So there's that there was no pre violence
taking place to send the Guard in. It was more
of like, if you guys want added security, do you
want me to get the National Guard, Pelosi, Capitol police,
they all said no. So there wasn't a cause. In

(47:44):
other words, it wasn't a need for him to call
the guarden. It was more of, hey, you know, like
Nancy Pelosi had done a year or two earlier when
they put fencing around the Capitol and called the National
Guard in so they could sleep in parking garages, well
for assistance. This time for January sixth, she turned it down,

(48:04):
and that's when it was actually needed. How about that.
But this is different. This is a pre existing violent
condition that Trump is addressing. So that's why they're going in.
And it's just like in Los Angeles, you have a
severe violent problem that's affecting the citizens, that's when you
call the garden. But in LA they made it sound like, oh,

(48:25):
they're marching in the streets and a rust and common
people for protesting. It's like, no, they're barricading federal buildings
and just that, so go burn your tires in front
of I don't know.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
It's really not about protecting the citizens. It's really not
about that. It's protecting their power. I mean. And on
top of that, it is an extreme case of the
Trump arrangement syndrome that happens to infect DC completely. And
I mean that's not the only place we have another

(48:59):
story about Trump derangement syndrome, but it drives a lot
of people. But you know, and I always ask, you
know when people are like really upset about Trump or saying,
you know, we're living a dictatorship. And I was like,
what's going to happen when he's gone, because he's you know,
he serves four years and then he can't run again,

(49:20):
even though he has trolled people saying maybe I'll run again,
another master trol, and nobody can actually answer it. They're
so invested in hating this man because in their view,
he didn't earn the position of president, he had not
waited his turn, he had not paid his dues in

(49:44):
other political office, done any of that sort, and they
just it's this visual and it was and it was
people who liked them before he decided to run for
president as a Republican candidate. And they are so invested
in absolutely hating this guy that it doesn't matter if
he goes away, that TDS is not going away. They're

(50:04):
going to blame everything on Trump for the next fifty years.
Why because for the next fifty years, things are going
to be working the way Trump intended. I'm pretty sure
about that.

Speaker 3 (50:16):
Well, this is just it really makes my job easy
because I can see all this coming from around the block,
and the press literally is in that knee jerk mode.
Now is whatever Trump does it's wrong. I mean, last
week he showed up on the roof of the White House.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
Oh that was beautiful.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
I mean, there were surveying the grounds, are doing something
up there. But then there all of a sudden, the
media found out about it and gathered outside. So he
starts yelling at them from the roof and had an
impromptu press conference from thirty feet in the sky. There
were actually reports what does it all mean?

Speaker 2 (50:54):
The dude is just walking up there to look at
the work that's being done. One of my favorite things
is that everybody took off with this. The rose garden
is no more. Oh God. I think it was Julia
Ihoff or eye Off or whatever the hell is it
her name is. She was lamenting the fact that the
rose garden had been there for decades and now it's

(51:18):
completely destroyed. No, honey, what happened was the decided to
put a cement slab on the otherwise lawn, muddy lawn
that's usually there so that women and men would not
get their feet dirty when they came to half dinner
at the White House or for whatever. You know, it's

(51:39):
it's it's fine. I don't understand why people are freaking
out over this. It was a useless lawn. The roses
are still there.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
They did this during the first term when they were
doing some construction out there. They're tearing the rose garden. No,
they're putting in a wheelchair access ramp. I thought the
A was all about that, but apparently.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
Oh yeah, apparently that was That was another thing. When
I visited the White House, I was kind of surprised
that it was not eighty eight compliant.

Speaker 3 (52:16):
It wasn't.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Yes, they got to pass because historically they cannot mess
with the blah blah blah whatever. And I'm like, no,
you can. You can put a ramp. You can put
a ramp. I've been through historical homes where they put ramps.
I've been there, I've seen it. I've seen it.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
So anyway, when you consider FDR, you would think that
that would have been taken care of decades ago.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
You would think so, I know that there were ramps
for him, but I think they were taken out after
he passed away. And I believe that.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
The press came out and said he's up on the roof.
He's doing that as a distraction from the controversies. What, okay,
which controversy You're gonna have to nail that down first,
And exactly how him being on the roof distracting? It
would mean you saw him on the roof and you
were distracted. Oh, I don't.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Understand this whole. Oh all of these things that Trump
is doing, federalizing the DC district, blah blah blah, these
are all distractions. I'm like, from what it was your
freaking judge that said no, he cannot, you know, disclose
the Epstein files. I mean after I was a Trump administration,

(53:38):
I said, yeah, open these files in the Trump and
just said, no, there's nothing new in it. And I'm like, well, okay, and.

Speaker 3 (53:45):
That's what I had to laugh. But I covered it
last week. The impact of all of this coverage of
the Epstein files zero zero. So, like before July and
after July, when you measured across all the demographics independent,
Democrat and Republican, Trump's approval and disapproval didn't move at all.

(54:11):
I think one category disapproval went that wet with Republicans
that went up a point. And then Harry Anton was
on cienn and yesterday, I think like excitedly showing it
was like Epstein has nothing to do with the American public.
He said, this pool here showed like the people who
think it's the most important issue is one percent. And

(54:33):
they were hoping to divide the Republican party with this,
so they were pushing it hard. Trump's approval right now
with Republicans is at a record high. For what three weeks,
they were just muling and bleeding about the Epstein files.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
I just I feel bad for but every time that
he has to deliver these news I just love watching
what's her name or whoever he's talking to about the polls. Yeah,
and and see look at her face because it is
so talented.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
Yes, this is in the Epstein file. One she actually said, Oh,
I get just a shocking. I guess out of sight,
out of mind. It's like, wait, dearie, you haven't shut
up about her for three weeks. We're talking about out
of sight and out of minds. People don't give a day, Okay.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
I have. You know, it's funny because my my sister
in law is like, I've went to her Facebook and
I saw she was talking about like release the Epstein files,
blah blah blah and all that stuff, and I, no,
only don't do politics with her because she's very, very,

(55:53):
very liberal. And uh. I went to her house my nephew,
my nephew's birthday party was his past weekend, and she
had a flag, one of those little garden flags out there,
and the flag said, did you know one out of
every three Trump supporters is just as dumb or excuse me,

(56:15):
just as stupid as the other two. That's what the
flag said. So I knew that politics was not going
to be something I was going to be bringing up
at everything. But you know, I overheard her talking with
one of her friends and everything, and they were talking
about the Epsteine files, and her friend actually made an
interesting point that I don't think my sister in law

(56:37):
was expecting her friend to say. And she said, well,
it's just kind of weird that they never brought it up.
You know, while Biden was president, I mean, he had
the power to release everything.

Speaker 3 (56:48):
Well that's been my comment for and you know, and I.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
Didn't catch with my sister in law said, but amazingly
she changed the subject so right after that, and I've
just i was just just watching the whole thing, and
I'm like, okay, but but yeah, I mean.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
Do you have opportunities when they try to say it
was like, well, this proves that he's a pedophile, and
you people support him or pedophiles. It's like, okay, what
do you say about the baby sniffer who for four
years didn't release the files? Yeah, and he's in behind that.
I mean, if this is supposedly going to kill Trump,

(57:27):
why wouldn't they release it before the election? Seems like
the ultimate October surprise right there? Would it not?

Speaker 2 (57:35):
I you would have thought that that would have been
the primo time. I mean, I'm like, why are you
all sitting on it? And here's the thing, they don't
have to sit on it. A lot of people are like,
I'm sure they have a lot of dirt and a
lot of people, and that's why they operate their way
they do blah blah blah blah. I'm pretty sure that

(57:55):
during his first term, Trump was approached by several alphabet
agencies and said, yeah, these are the dossiers that we
have on you. And he said, okay, so what he
does not care. He doesn't care if you put that
shit out there. He just doesn't. He's like, go ahead,

(58:16):
I'm not going to be bribed and I'm not going
to be blackmailed. And that to me was very telling,
you know. And this was somebody that I knew that
worked for the NSA, and she was telling me that
that is a possibility. Something like that usually does happen.
There is a lot of dirt on people that it's kept,
you know, in the alphabet agencies. And so yeah, she's retired,

(58:40):
by the way, And I started thinking, and I'm like,
if they did have a lot on him, why wasn't
that disclosed? He just doesn't care.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
He can whether the storm or he can either explain
it away or like what was it? I think CNN
came up with the big exclusive. We uncovered photographs of
Epstein at Trump's wedding to Marlon Maples thirty years ago. Okay,

(59:19):
I know for a fact that in New York publishing circles,
major weddings like that have the guest list published. People
knew about this regar.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, all of all of that is published.
As a matter of fact, I remember because this was
a BFD When JFK Jr. Married, it was it was
a big deal. And I seem to remember there was

(59:51):
a newspaper that had the entire wedding guest list. I
don't think it was New York Times or Washington, but
it was a I want to say, somebody in May
in Boston. I don't know, but they had you know,
there was a it was devoted like at least six
pages was devoted to this wedding and the A section.

(01:00:15):
I know because I read it all okay, because I
was that's me. I love the shit. And so I
was reading who was there? And I was reading what
who wore what? And I was reading about this and
that and the photographs that were allowed to be published
and all this stuff, and I was just like I was,

(01:00:39):
you know, I it was heartbroken when they died in
that tragedy. But I remember that. I remember that they
talked about everybody who was anybody who was there. I
remember those lists. I remember all of that because it
made such an impression on me. It was kind of cool.

(01:01:00):
Had just started his magazine called George, and I still
remember that the very first cover was actually Cindy Crawford
dressed as George Washington crossing the Delaware. I remember that,
and it was it was an awesome you know, yeah,

(01:01:20):
it was an awesome cover. I remember reading it. It
was it kind of leaned a little on the left side,
but it did bring you know, some of the right
as well into into the magazine. And then, you know,
after his death, you know, the magazine folded, but it
had become it was progressing further left as he relinquished

(01:01:44):
hold on it during you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Know, his.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
Tenure, and but it was you know, it was his,
It was his baby. It was something that he had
wanted to do and and I had hoped that it
actually took off, and sadly, with his death it just
floundered and died as well. But I remember, I remember
reading all of that. I remember when Princess Diana got married,

(01:02:10):
I believe it was The New York Times who actually
had had posted who had attended the wedding from the
United States, who had attended from Canada, who had attended
from uh, you know, in the British Isles, who had
attended from several countries in Europe, and I was just like,
I was stunned because there were people that are going

(01:02:32):
I was reading and I was I didn't know these people.
And then years later I'm like, what the hell was
she thinking wearing that? That was me? That was just me.
But you know there are big things like this. Yeah,
you do get the society pages will salivate over any
little tidbit that you give about something this big.

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
Well I enjoyed this too though when the when they
published the photo and CNN and like were covered there,
so people started to say I saw that on Reddit
like five years ago, so it's not like this was
a secret at all. But well done, guys, Well you
have speaking of Trump arrangement, you had a little special nugget. Now,

(01:03:23):
of course I gotta asked, should I know who this is?

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
I didn't know who she was, but I will tell
you this. This woman is now notorious and I am
sure that she has gotten a huge following because of
her tirade.

Speaker 3 (01:03:43):
Well, her name is Jennifer Welsh. I don't even recognize her,
but apparently she's got a podcast and it's called I
don't know, I've had enough or something to that degree.
But basically, this is just unhinged tds of the eleventh order?

(01:04:03):
Do you want to hear the clip? Should I play
the clip?

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (01:04:09):
I mean it is rather glorious, To be honest with.

Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
You, I've had it with white people that triple Trump. Yeah,
that have the nerve and the audacity to walk into
a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, go
to perhaps their gay hairdresser. I don't think you should

(01:04:34):
be able to enjoy anything but cracker barrel. And if
you want to triple Trump and you want to browbeat DEI,
and you want to browbeat gay people, and you want
to browbeat black people as you've been doing for four
hundred years, and you want to browbeat this generation of
immigrants that come over here and open up businesses, earnestly
pay their taxes. You want to demonize them and call

(01:04:56):
them rapists and felons and all this shit. When the
fell in is the teeny weeny mushroom cock, piece of shit, cankles,
Mctaco tits at the top of the ticket. I have
fucking had it from top to bottom. White people that
triple Trump should be banned, boycotted from enjoying the best
thing that America has to offer, which is multi culturalism.

(01:05:18):
Get your fat asses out of the Mexican restaurant, Get
your fat asses over the cracker barrel, because nobody wants
to see your fucking smug ass, teeny weeny pink arm,
big gut around nobody wants Okay, So.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
I was rather, I was not surprised by what she said.
I was surprised by what her face said.

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
She looks like she's in the early stages of opening
up the ark of the Covenant.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
I think you for saying it. I don't know what
incentivizes some women to actually go out of their way
to have cosmetic surgery. I understand at some time some
women feel it's necessary and everything, But I, as y'all know,
I have this fascination with studying skulls and everything, and
I was just looking at her face, going, no, no,

(01:06:13):
this is not a good skull. That is a fixed skull.
I could not get over how just wrong her face was.
Now I'm not gonna say that she was ugly. I
just I'm just gonna say that her face is wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
Well, while she's speaking, it looks like one side is
starting to slide.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
Well, like I said, it just looks wrong. But what
she said was very opening, seeing as I'm Hispanic, okay,
and I enjoy my culture very much. My mom has
been here for three weeks, and my hips are showing
that I enjoyed my culture very much, because oh my god,
I have not stopped eating since she started cooking. And

(01:06:54):
to me, it just seemed like.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
She was.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
She you know, she's talking about multiculturalism, but she's the
one that's doing the dividing. She's saying, you know, you
should not eat at this place or this place or
this place. If you're white, you should stay at Cracker Berel, which,
by the way, I was at a cracker Barrel not
even two nights ago, and I can tell you right
now my husband was the only white guy there.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
He was.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
Everybody else was either Hispanic or African American. It was amazing.
They I mean, and I know every time and I
go to Dallas to visit my brother, and if my
sister's with me, you know, we'll go to Cracker Barrel
on the way back out and will be the only
people that are not African American. Sometimes. I mean, they

(01:07:46):
they love the food. The food is good. I like
the food I don't understand why she would think that
that is something that's cutting.

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
I love the fact that she's supposedly promoting multiculturally, and
here's the most all these other cultures. But she's lumping
all like triple Trump. I assume means you voted for
him three times.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
I believe so, yes, twenty sixteen, twenty four.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
But then if you include primaries, it would be six times.
That's even worse. But you you have her then declaring
that people that voted for Trump all act the same
way and think the same way. They all hate immigrants,
they all want brown people gone. They just she's everything

(01:08:34):
that she's complaining about.

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
But here's the thing. She's saying that white people who
voted for Trump don't like immigrants, don't like black people,
don't like brown people, don't like don't like any colored people. Okay,
And I'm like, do you hear yourself? Because in the
state of Texas alone, Trump's Latina vote went huge, I

(01:08:59):
mean it that, and as did the African vote. The
margins were huge.

Speaker 3 (01:09:05):
This woman is the prototypical AWFL. I mean, she is
the wine box leftist.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
Yes, and she was. She was actually telling white people
that had voted for Trump, you have no business going
into these multicultural establishments. Well, bitch, you have no business
selling anyone where to go eat. You're basically saying no.
She's basically saying no, stay out of these establishments because
you're white. And the people who run these establishments, who

(01:09:36):
don't happen to be white, are like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We want white people to come in here because that's business. Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
I was gonna say, if if she's so pro multiculturalism,
why are you telling them not to endorse their businesses?

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
Exactly, So she's she's there, you know, and and she's actually,
you know, talking in very in a very coarse language
about people who voted for Trump, and she doesn't understand
that every word that she is saying she is free

(01:10:10):
to say. She thinks, just like Rachel Matta, that we
are in an autocratic dictatorship, where it's a dictatorship right now,
blah blah blah, and yet she is saying the most
vile things about our president and doesn't understand that if
she were in a dictatorship, she would not be allowed

(01:10:30):
and if she tried to say it, she would probably
be under arrest. Well, he's a way to prison somewhere.

Speaker 3 (01:10:37):
She tries to say that Trump people are against multiculturalism
and don't go in their restaurants, and yet she turns
around and calls him Nick Taco Tits. Yes, I'm pick
seems a contradiction.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
It was, it was, it was. She just went on
and on and on about this. I mean, she was
obviously very angry to see someone who she assumed voted
for Trump. Mind you, she doesn't know if he did.
She just assumed they did going into a restaurant that

(01:11:16):
was a ethnic food restaurant, and she made a huge
assumption and from that up.

Speaker 3 (01:11:25):
This is the the hysterical, emotional leftist that isn't rooted
in anything logical or factual. So these rants like this
just get unraveled so easily when you just throw one
fact at him or ask one question that disproves their
entire contention, and then they you stupid, maga idiot sons

(01:11:46):
a bitches, and then they fly off the handle like
this because they don't have a foundation of facts. It's
all emotional and that's all you heard here. This was
just her losing her mind over this guy, and I,
for the life of me, I can't understand people that
are this consumed.

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
I don't understand illness.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
This weekend, I have I made one comment that had
nothing at all to do with Trump, and one of
these batshit wing nuts they were hitting me with Trump
memes and this and that, and then they went through
my timeline and responded to a bunch of my posts.
Every single one of the responses was a Trump mean,
not a single post they responded to had anything to

(01:12:31):
do with Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
It's just it's weird.

Speaker 3 (01:12:35):
After a while, it's like, are you even what?

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
And I and I'll say, we have our share of
weirdos that respond with, you know, to everything with a
Biden meme. I get it, we have our share. But
I'm like, the visceral hatred that people have for this
president I've never seen. I've never seen this level of

(01:12:59):
mental ill because that's what it is. They're literally they're
locked into this hatred and it is an illness, it
really is.

Speaker 3 (01:13:10):
But it's I don't and it's just me. And the
funny thing is as immersed in politics as I am
that I don't let anybody in politics affect me. It's
like four years of Joe Biden, I couldn't stand his policies.
But I can close my laptop and watch a game
and not even think about the guy. These people are

(01:13:32):
incapable of that. Everything goes right back to him, and
if something goes wrong, well, if it's not him, it's
the people I voted for him and your sons a bit.
And then they go off and they're justified in their
rant all over again. And it's sad and pathetic to watch,
but at the same time it's pretty amusing too. Just
watch them pin the needle in the red zone over nothing.

(01:13:52):
You just have to sometimes just sit back and laugh
at it. And this is a prime case. I mean,
just the venom and everything coming out of her. It's like,
what sparked it, what specifically led her to this, I
don't know. But and not to mention, she's about the
whitest person you're going to see.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
Oh well, yeah, I'm sure the boatox is white too,
but whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:14:18):
I mean, she's even wearing white.

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
So she was. But you know, that doesn't even come
close to topping the breaking news that we enjoyed concerning
a certain whistleblower. And I'm I'm kind of giddy over

(01:14:41):
the whole thing. I don't know, what's going to come
out of it? But apparently there's no segue guys, because
I'm just like.

Speaker 3 (01:14:49):
Yeah, we got to cut into an animal segment here.
So police in Britain were able to unravel a drug
ring only orchestrated from one criminal in jail, but a
key piece of evidence was found on one suspect's phone.
They went through some of the details and came up

(01:15:12):
with a video, and in one of the videos they
could hear two for twenty five, two for twenty five. Well,
this is regional terminology in their area for drug dealing.
So if you hear two for twenty five, people pretty
much know what you're You know, you come up to

(01:15:33):
somebody who's pushing you, say two for twenty five money exchanges,
you get the thing you're going, You're done. So this
was hardcore proof of some drug dealing happening. Kind of
difficult to call this a witness, but I suppose so
because it wasn't a human being. It was one of

(01:15:55):
the suspects pet parrot.

Speaker 2 (01:16:01):
Hey the pet parrot.

Speaker 3 (01:16:04):
Either they were around so many of these transactions or
it was actually trained to say this, But yes, the
parrot was seen toddling around in issuing drug sale lingo
and there was another video to where they saw it
on the floor playing around with cash that was apparently
drug related. And so this led them down the road

(01:16:26):
and helped them gather up about ten people in this
drug ring altogether. Now I have a question, and I'm
not very proud of this, but I just I feel
like I have to ask. It's I hate myself for
saying this, but did they hook the pairrot up to

(01:16:47):
a polygraph? See what I did?

Speaker 2 (01:16:53):
Polly want to crack a graph?

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
All I can getting my head with stool pigeon. I
tried to outdo that. This is the best I could do.
So but so there you go. Kids, if you want
to embark on a life of illicit drug trade, maybe
don't train your pets to give you up to the police.
There you go, There you go. On a related note,
doubt regarding pets like this, we finally, finally, we are

(01:17:22):
about to see justice. This is a big story during
pretty much during the election cycle, and this maybe could
have tipped the scales because it's just a sign of
government overreach and needing to drain the swamp. And this
could have definitely helped the presidential bid but you might

(01:17:44):
recall when the State of New York stormed a compound
and took into their possession Peanut the squirrel and eventually
ended up executing the beloved pet. Well, the owners are
now suing the state for ten million dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
And they have a case. They have a good case.

Speaker 3 (01:18:12):
Yes, they're suing the State of New York ten million
in damages for the death of their pet. This is
something I hadn't realized initially, but I don't know if
you know Tom Fitton from DC the lawyer, he actually
worked on this case at one degree at Judicial Watch.

(01:18:33):
They actually, through discovery got documents from the State of
New York. This blows my mind. The Department of Environmental
Conservation and this comes from Katie Jerkovich over Red State.
She covered this one for US. Pulled this up that

(01:18:53):
the state Department of Environmental Conservation authorities made plans ahead
of time. Because they claimed that the reason they had
to put the squirrel down was because one of their
agents got bit they had to test it for raybies
and such. No, these documents showed that they had planned
to go to the property and euthanize the squirrel ahead
of time. Premeditate. They sent a dozen agents to their

(01:19:19):
property over a squirrel. There's I've got like seven hundred
questions about mm hmm. What was it about a squirrel
that had them losing their mind to this degree.

Speaker 2 (01:19:40):
Second, I don't I don't think it was the squirrel.
I don't think it was that. I think it was
just exerting power.

Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
But of what this was a pet. They had this indoors.
The squirrel was famous online. They took videos all the
time and like the guy would walk in the kitchen,
the squirrel would jump and crawl over them, and it's
like clearly a happy pet. It wasn't abused, wasn't neglected, nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
And apparently they ran a rescue an animal question.

Speaker 3 (01:20:08):
This is an animal rescue farm that they operate. They
deal with animals, this is their thing. What the hell why?

Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
I don't know. To this day, we don't know what
the trigger was.

Speaker 3 (01:20:22):
That if the squirrel was outside the yard, nobody would blink,
but the.

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
Kitchen Danielle actually brings up. I do remember that there
was apparently someone reported him because and it was a
woman who was jealous, and she actually reported the account
to the authorities. And I think it had something. It
wasn't jealousy because she was in love with the guy.

(01:20:51):
It was that that account was so much more popular
than her account, and so she reported the the animal
abuse to the authorities, and the authorities came in and
killed the killed both pets. I think that that's how

(01:21:13):
it developed, if I recall. But yeah, so anyway, we're
coming up at the top of the hour.

Speaker 3 (01:21:22):
I hope they smoke them for ten million plus a jury.
And I don't know anybody that will side with the
state on this one.

Speaker 2 (01:21:31):
Oh, I don't think they will know, so their best
bet is to settle, But I don't think they will
settle either New York being how it is.

Speaker 3 (01:21:43):
Well, I mean, the state would want to because they're
going to lose their ass, but more power to them.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
Justice for Peanut, yes, I really do. I mean, you
know a lot of people are Somebody was asking online
it's like when the things started to go to hell,
and they started posting pictures of Harambe and Peanut and Fred,
and I'm starting to think, yeah, that's when things went
to hell with Harambe. That's where it started, and then

(01:22:12):
it just snowballed with Fred and Peter.

Speaker 3 (01:22:18):
Oh my, now, yep.

Speaker 2 (01:22:20):
Anyway, So, yes, Danielle, I was going to talk about
Adam Shiff because the whistleblower has come forward and said
and apparently this is a Democrat. As I understand it,
he was a friend of Shifts and he was also
a friend of Flints. You know how people who work
over there, they try to keep friends on both sides

(01:22:42):
of the aisle. And he has interesting emails. And apparently
Shift was just really upset that Clinton did not win
and thus he could not be head of the CIA
as he had planned. And I'm like, I'm I don't
know if she ever had plans for you to do that,

(01:23:02):
but okay, but.

Speaker 3 (01:23:05):
Anyway, eternally baffled that Adam Schiff has any power and
juice in Washington. I mean, this guy is I mean
he's a typical slimy politician. Yes, I get that.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
No, he's beyond that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
But this is somebody with no skill set. I mean
he just he lies with a bandit with obvious abandon
That's the thing is like there, he's not smooth, He's
not polished about anything he does. He does.

Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
That's one of the things he had. He had the
protection of the pulpit of the Senate where he could
say anything and not you know, not be held to account.
But the email actually changes things because that was not
done in the Senate. So we'll see how this progresses.

(01:23:54):
But anyway, we're almost at the top of the hour,
so you have one minute to tell us where we
can Brad.

Speaker 3 (01:24:02):
I'm available at the front page of Red Stay where
