reel the Rig Robinson Show where.

Speaker 8 (12:27):
We say what we feel.

Speaker 14 (13:14):
An electric guitar band or a patriot or drum hit.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
All right, Apparently that's not the one that I thought
it was. It's close, though, so I'm still there was
some instructions at the end that got mixed in by
the AI, and I thought I cleaned that up, and
I didn't. So yeah, anyway, so that is other than
the stuff that was supposed to be telling you what
to do with the fade out. That was pretty much
the intro. I have a cleaned up version of it

(13:42):
hiding here somewhere. I've just been scrambling. I was working
till almost one o'clock in the morning, getting things ready,
getting some new substack stuff up and running, and also
getting things lined out for the Wednesday edition for Kingdom
and Country. Early starting to so I'm gonna talk about
that for a few minutes, just because you know, I'm
already discombobulated anyway, so I might as well use this

(14:03):
time to get myself back on track so we can
get into the real show. We've burned about five minutes
or so because I was checking on puppy noises, so
I will probably make that up at the end anyway.
But for those of you who are who are curious
and I haven't checked it out yet, I do encourage
you to check out our newest offering here on Kaylin Radio,
not because it's mine, but just because I enjoy the concept.

(14:24):
It's called Kingdom and Country. The person who's pardon me,
whose birthday it is today, actually inspired the concept, and
I'll be honest, I was kind of knocking it around
and leaning more into my faith even before what happened happened,
and after what happened happened, I really felt like I

(14:47):
didn't have a choice anymore. So Kingdom and Country is
kind of my answer to that. You'll notice I'm trying
not to be as much of an a hole. I'm
trying not to curse as much, primarily because you know,
if I'm gonna start trying to walk the walk again,
I gotta start learning to talk to talk again. Otherwise
people are gonna, yeah, you don't really know, you don't
really see, well, you don't know. I'm not sure about that.

(15:08):
So yeah, I am imperfect. I understand that you understand that,
especially but if you've been listening for a while. But
that's what that's what Kingdom and Country was founded about,
was figuring out a way to blend politics and faith
in this country because our founding fathers did it every day,
and then over time we've been told we can't do
that anymore. So that's why you may notice a lot

(15:30):
of the intros are changing. They're they're they're a bit
more just kind of amped up and you know, just
trying to bring more of who I am to the
table everywhere, because there's no reason not to I've been
running from so many things for so long, and it's
just time to bring them all together. But that's part
of what we're gonna be talking about today, because of
course it is Charlie Kirk's birthday. Donald Trump has already

(15:53):
made it back to Washington, DC. As far as I know,
he does plan on posthumously awarding the Congressional Medal of
Freedom at some point to Charlie today. If we happen
to be live when that happens, we will try to
carry it. I have a couple of folks in chat
that like to keep me apprized of in eating with breaking,
so I'm sure if it finds, if it starts happening
while we're live, I will definitely know. But we got

(16:14):
to talk about the usual stuff first here in just
a second. But so first we got to start with
the shutdown. I find it interesting, I really do that
Donald Trump has had an easier time negotiating peace between
Mid Eastern countries than he has with getting the Democrats

(16:37):
to realize it's probably in their best interest to keep
the government open, because if not, you're gonna keep turning
russ point loose with a redpin, and we're gonna be
able to do everything we told you we wanted to
do anyway. So I really, as this continues to drag on,
I have to start asking myself, is Chuck Schumer really
team MAGA and just can't and just wants to play. Oh,

(16:58):
I'm standing up for you. I'm listening to I'm listening
to the other members of my caucus. I don't know
really that you are, though. I mean, you're listening to them,
but they're insane. Have you seen the members that you're
listening to? The occasional cortex? That's what you're listening to.
By the way, I don't know if you've noticed, but
we did upgrade the camera, so it's gonna be a
lot less grainy now. Sadly, this also means that my

(17:21):
ugly mug is more clear on your screen, and for
that I do not apologize because I warned you forever
ago that I have a face made for radio, and
some of you are like, you still need to be
doing video anyway, because that's that's how all this stuff
works anymore. Yeah, now you understand why I said no.
For as long as I did. We're gonna be working
on getting that dialed in a little bit more. Right now,

(17:41):
we're still in the getting used to out works phases
and making sure that everything's clean on it, et cetera.
And then we'll start figuring out better positioning and different
positioning for live shots, et cetera. But I'm right now,
we're just kind of figuring figuring that out as we go.
But so that's that's something else that you might notice.
Not only are we changing some of the designs for

(18:02):
the shows, were changing intros for some of the shows
were also slowly but surely continuing to upgrade equipment because
the longer I do this the end, the more I
do this, the more I want to make sure that
it's as good for you guys as I can possibly
make it, And so that that's the plan. So anyway,
I hope you guys are enjoying the show so far.
I know I've kind of been all over the place

(18:22):
today thanks to being discombobulated by a delivery, but it
is what it is. But again, back to the point
I was making a moment ago. I find it interesting
that Donald Trump can can can talk Middle East terrorists
down from ledges faster that he can talk Democrats down
from leubbits. Legis all right, so we got to talk

(18:48):
about this. This came out today. Anybody remember Carl Rove,
the dude that was like the king maker back in
the day when I was just starting to really get
involved in politics. I don't know what what's happened to
this guy, but he's lost about forty or fifty steps.
So we got to talk about this for a second.

(19:09):
And this is a quote from an article. GOP strategist
Karl Rove predicted Saturday that deploying National Guard troops the
domestic Democrat led cities over the objection of their respective
states governors would ultimately be a losing issue for President Trump.
In an interview on Fox News is the journal editor report,
Rove pointed to a recent Reuter's ipsis poll showing fifty

(19:31):
eight percent of US adults say the president should only
deploy troops to areas with external threats. If you held
by seventy two percent of Democrats, fifty one percent of
Republicans of fifty three percent who identify as other, the
subtext of the article is obvious. The Hill is telling
fellow Democrats to be in good cheer because GOP strategist

(19:52):
Carl row is on their side. On this issue and
warning Republicans that they should cave on this issue immediately
before it's too late.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Hmmm.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Problem is, I don't think that's really the case, though,
So we're gonna go back into the article that I
was pulling from our friends at Red State. Now A
lot depends on what you think of Karl Rove, the
political strategist behind President George W. Bush's political career. President
Trump and many MAGA Republicans don't like him very much
and don't think he's very politically astute, especially in today's climate. Meanwhile,

(20:25):
the left wing Democrats, who used to hate him as
a diabolical political genius WAH, have developed the strange new
respect for his willingness to challenge Trump, while still sometimes
crediting him as a genius. Went on making fun of
him for actions during the Romney campaign, which is amusing
to me because I'm old enough to remember the day

(20:46):
when CNN cameras were crowded around the Bush White House
to wait for the imminent perp march and handcuffs by
the criminal car Ve. CNN even had a running time
come to They eventually pulled the feed when thing happened.
I don't remember the specific scandal, but I do remember
that some Democrat staffers in the US Senate, where the

(21:07):
writer of this article was working at the time, assured
the writer that Rove was involved in something that was
worse than Watergate, and Rove's imprisonment was absolutely a requirement
to save democracy. Just sound familiar, Sound familiar. I, like

(21:28):
the author of this piece, have a more nuanced view
of Karl Rove. At his peak, he was probably a
better than average political strategist whiteboard included, but he did
make mistakes and was never a genius. And today I
believe Rove is no longer at his peak. And his
specific argument that President Trump will be harmed politically if
he uses the National Guard to crack down on crime

(21:49):
is just completely wrong, and I have to agree with
him because you're starting to see it in the places
where they've gone. The pundits hate it, the politicians hate it,
the political insiders hate it, but the people actually like it. Now.
I'm gonna be honest, I don't really know how I
feel about this whole thing of militarized folks on our streets.

(22:09):
I really that's one of the reasons I've had an
issue with this all along, which is why I'm trying
to be as middle of the road with you as possible,
because I don't know how I feel about the military
militarization of america streets, but I also understand why it

(22:30):
needs to be happening. Look no further than this, nude
bike riders all over the streets of Oregon in the
Portland area on Sunday. I'm not gonna trust me. I'm
not trying to get We have a heart enough time
with YouTube, so I'm not running any of the footage.
But i just want to remind you that did happen.
That was an actual thing. There were nude bike ride
protests against ice, So is this really the people that

(22:56):
we want to keep taking the side of are the
ones that are obviously absolutely insane. Not to mention the
fact that I'm pretty sure Oregon, especially Portland, I'm probably
has a loot axe ordinance. Pretty sure that's probably the case.
So I don't know why this was allowed to happen
in the first place. I mean, I could be wrong. Look,
I am the I am the first one of the

(23:17):
first men in America to say, look, if it's all
right for men to walk around topless, it should be
okay for women to walk around topless. But there's a
reason that I say that. You might not necessarily like
me articulate it, but that is my stance, unless, of course,
you have to roll them back up before you put
them away. You know who you are. Just say, but look,

(23:38):
Carl Rove is a mess. He's been all over the
map lately. He's been wrong more than he's been right.
I think this is going to be another issue where
we find ourselves realizing that he's more wrong than he
is right. Even if I don't agree with this, because
I'm sorry, I am firmly getting into the camp of
these people should be getting what they voted for. I
understand that Donald Trump as the president, needs to worry

(23:59):
about public safety, et cetera. But these people are voting
for this stuff. Let them reap the consequences of it first,
and the same next time, vote for somebody that isn't retard.
He isn't retarded. I'm sorry, I get it. I really do.
We want to fix the country. We want to show
everybody that we're still the good guys, that we're the
ones that know what they need better than starting to

(24:21):
sound on the other side here aren't we we know
better what you need than you do. That's what the
other side used to tell us all the time. Do
we really want to be like them? Or do we
want people to realize that they have to find their
way out of this mess on their own. This is
why I'm on the fence with this. Trust me as
a guy who used to work in the law and
order field and multiple aspects of it throughout most of

(24:41):
my twenties, thirties, and forties. I understand how this. I understand.
I really do, because I like seeing order. I like
seeing chaos off the streets. I like seeing people understand
that there are consequences to their actions when they do
stupid crap, kind of like the dude that murdered the
chick on the subway not too long ago. There should

(25:02):
be consequences for that. But the problem with that is
if we actually believe in consequences for actions, then we
need to start allowing people to face the consequences of
what they've voted for. And this is exactly my point,
because the Democrats have lived that credo for forever until recently.
You know why, Suddenly they're trying to get all in

(25:23):
Trump's way. It's not because they're afraid he's going to
destroy the country. It's because he's afraid they're gonna fix it.
If half of what they were screaming and yelling at
you about was actually true with this shutdown, they would
have voted been like, Okay, well, this is apparently what
you guys have voted for, so we're gonna get it
past the sixty vote threshold. But remember when midterms come.
We warned you, because that's one an adults in the

(25:48):
room does. When you realize that the other side is
trying to break something, you don't stop them. You point
out that it's gonna break. You say, this is apparently
what a lot of you voted for, So we're gonna
let this go ahead. Now happened, but remember midterms are coming.
So remember that we told you this was a bad
idea before we got out of the way and showed
you that it was a bad idea. It's exactly what

(26:11):
It's exactly what the Republicans tried to do with the ACA.
We told you this was a terrible idea. We told
you we need to read this before we pass it.
You guys voted for people that wanted to pass it.
Before we read it. So guess what. Now you've got
the ACA. Guess what years later, we're now finding out
exactly what Republicans sold us all along. The Affordable Care
Act is unaffordable, and it is unsustainable without continued government intervention,

(26:34):
which we can't afford to do anymore. This is my point.
When things are designed to fail, and you know they're
designed to fail, then you show people they're designed to fail,
because they're never going to believe you until they see it.
The problem is within within today's climate, we can have
two different groups of people looking at the same information

(26:56):
and come to completely disparate conclusions because of how deep
we are ingrained with our own personal biases. And like
it or not, everybody has personal biases. It's those of
us that do this kind of work. We do everything
we can to try to keep them out of the
work that we do, especially if we're trying to stay
middle of the road, but it's impossible not to let

(27:18):
some of it in, which is why I'm still sitting
here saying, look, I understood why he did what he
did in DC. But instead of fighting folks like Karl
Rove and everybody else that says you're trampling on states
rights when you do this, because even my governor is
getting in on that action. Scratching my head of that one.
But I guess he's he's about to be out of
the office, so I guess he's kind of showing more

(27:39):
of who we actually Probably wasn't the entire time, but
he should been saying this for forever. He should be
going into red states that the government the governor wants
to help with, going into the blue cities that have
problems in those red states, cleaning those up and leaving
the leftist living in the left hell holes with their noses.

Speaker 18 (28:02):
Pressed up against the glass, going I want some of
what's in there, because then maybe they'll start voting for
it instead of fighting it. But again, while Donald Trump
is exactly who we need in the office right now
and has done some amazing things, I also don't know

(28:22):
how much of it he's willing to fix. The problem
with government, ladies and gentlemen, is this once you have
discovered and determined that they are unwilling or unable to
fix everything that they've broken. Because trust me, they're the
ones that have broken this mess. It was them they've
done it.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
We by proxy did it because we keep sending the
same people back in again saying, well, my guy's great,
he just needs to fight harder. Are you sure? Are
you sure? Are you really sure? But the problem is,
with the best of intentions, politicians march off into I'm
going to be the one to spearhead change, I'm going

(29:03):
to make it happen, realizing that once they get there
and they get the trappings from the lobbyists and the
offices and the oh, welcome to Congress, mister representative, missus, misrepresentative,
ma'am sir or whatever, they realize that if they actually
fixed it, all of this would start going away. That's

(29:26):
one of the biggest problems that we have today is
they have realized if they actually fix it, all of
this is going to go away, because if government actually
did its job, eventually you wouldn't need the government anymore.
Because remember, our founding fathers wanted our Okay, I'm going
to put this in a way that everybody can understand it.

(29:47):
Our founding fathers wanted our political footprint to be even
smaller than Greta Tunberg wants your your carbon footprint, which
is non existent. So that should put this, hopefully in
a way that everyone and I mean and I do
mean absolutely everyone can hopefully understand. But we're fixing to

(30:10):
take the musical interlude here in a second. Now, this
is something that I aired officially last night for the
first time. This is actually a composition of mine with
the help of Suno. It has been made a song.
So we're going to take the break when we come back.
I haven't even scratched the surface of the notes yet,
so we may go a little long today. I don't know.

(30:31):
It depends because I have four shows and I have
stuff to get ready for today too. Depends on how
I feel towards the end of our two. But without
further ado, here is our musical interlude for today's show.
And before we do that, because I am off on
my timing, I'd like to mention our friends at freedom Chat.
As a conservative, as someone who enjoys freedom, as someone

(30:53):
who likes not having the government looking over my shoulder.
With all the things that I do, I would encourage
you to check out freedom Chat. You can go to
freedom chat dot com. It will show you how to
download their app for whichever brand of phone that you have.
Freedom Chat is awesome. You can actually set it up
to where your messages only stay in place for so long.
You can even have a setting inside any of your

(31:14):
conversations where nobody involved in the conversations, even if it's
just you and your best buddy, is allowed to take screenshots,
and even if they try, oh they're going to get
back as a blank screen. This is the kind of
freedom with chat that America needs. So I do encourage
you to check them out today and again. If they'd
had this signal gate wouldn't have been a thing. My
name is Rick Robinson. Our one is halfway in the books.

(31:37):

Speaker 4 (34:14):

Speaker 23 (34:42):
H All right, welcome back into the program, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
That was Freedomsion Free, a new single produced by me
with the help of Artif Intelligence you may know as Soono.
It took a while, but I think I'm getting stuff
dialed in over there. It was something I wasn't sure
I was ever really going to be able to do,
but I've figured out I'm actually not terrible at it
as long as I take my time. So anyway, I
hope you guys enjoy that one. That may or may
not make it over to Spotify soon. I haven't decided

(35:17):
yet anyway. All right, so we're back, we're live. Hour
two is halfway through Busy. Did I actually get did
I accidentally give out my given name, or did I
just say it so fast that you couldn't understand me
because I'm confused by the question. Either way, it's okay,
because it's not like I hide my given name much anymore.
I just it's this is part of the name I

(35:39):
use as so much, a part of the brand. I've
been told I should probably stick to it. I was
just curious by the question. Or maybe did I say
it too many times? Who knows. I don't know how
to answer that because I don't know what I did. Anyway,
So as we continue to talk about the stuff going
on with everything, I want to take a moment to

(36:01):
be able to gleefully throw none other than Jessica Tarlov
under the bus ear mus for those of you who
can't stand your voice. But I promised this one might
actually be worth it for you. Here we go.

Speaker 24 (36:12):
On the immigration front, there was a tendency amongst democrats,
and especially Democrats were discussing the issue, so people who
do interviews are part of the media to minimize it.
Over the first two and a half years, when there
were a lot of people coming in here, and I
thought that it was a stunt, you know, when they

(36:34):
started bussing migrants, they go to markets, vineyards. Yeah, it
was the smartest thing they ever did.

Speaker 12 (36:40):
Well.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
It's interesting because I have a friend who lives in Florida,
and I said, what did you think of Ron DeSantis
and Greg Abbott taking some of these immigrants and moving
them to Northern States? And she said, I thought it
was great because nobody really was paying attention before that.
And I do think that this untold story was the

(37:04):
strain on social services and communities, particularly along the border.
This influx, huge influx of immigrants was having and I
think the mainstream media, however you defined that these days,
kind of ignored that story to its peril.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
So there you have, basically, in no uncertain terms, Jessica
Tarlov admitting that immigration policy has been a loser for
dims and a win for Republicans. Now, she wont ever
say that on the show, but this is one of
the reasons why. And I think this to be true
of most of well, I really want to say most
of them, but I know that when Glenn left CNN,

(37:45):
it was because he felt like too many people were
play acting. So then he went over to Fox News,
where he said after departing that he felt much the
same way that some of these people were playing caricatures
for ratings. I'm going to be honest. I may give
you a different name, but what you're seeing and hearing
from me is exactly what I think and feel ninety
nine point nine percent of the time. Now, I'm a

(38:06):
bit more boisterous on MIC than I am off, and
you can ask people who know me for clarification on that,
I will say it's less so than it used to be,
which I think maybe part of the reason why my
ex wife left me because I used to be pretty
meek and mild when it came to her and just
kind of let her do whatever she wanted for the
most part, because you know, I didn't really care. And

(38:27):
then the more I got outspoken and did this kind
of stuff, the more out spoken I kind of got everywhere,
and the less she seemed to like it. But still,
for the most part, I'm a lot more subdued when
I'm not on a MIC. As a matter of fact,
I don't really I am. I am a not a
people person. It's not that I don't like people, It's
not that I can't, you know, be socially active, et cetera.

(38:49):
I just I don't like being in spaces that are
two people, And now that I've moved out into the country,
it's even worse. If I go into the city, I'm
there for maybe thirty forty five minutes before I'm like, Okay,
we gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go, we
gotta go. You can't do it anymore. So but again,
you know, this goes back to something that I was
talking about the other day. Over stimulation causes all kinds

(39:09):
of issues, and that's why our kids and grandkids having
access to smartphones at such a young age and continuing
to be able to use them all the time is
leading to so many social anxiety disorders, brain chemistry issues,
and everything else because their sources of input have changed
in their formative years. So, in case you're wondering what
this month's series over at Kingdom and Country is about,

(39:31):
there you go, because we just did the opening on that.
We'll have it. We'll have a Wednesday night edition this
week because Inquiry is off, and then we'll be back
to regular schedule on Sunday again as well. So but yeah,
so I mean that has tie in here though, too,
because it's something that I've been preaching about for a
long time. Kids below a certain age should not have

(39:52):
access to electronics constantly because it changes how their brains
process information. And we're going to be getting into that
this as the series continues. So in the as we
get into the stories for segment two, so you remember

(40:13):
that whole mortgage fraud thing that Letitia James is getting
in trouble for, because yeah, so this is getting worse,
not better. This is again from our friends over at
red State. This is by Banchie with New York Attorney
General Letitia James facing federal mortgage fraud charges. A new
revelation has added another layer to the story. As Red

(40:36):
State reported previously, James who bragged about weaponizing the justice
system against now President Donald Trump, because remember she did
her entire campaign slogan was I'm gonna get you a sucker.
She would go to campaign events, I look forward to
the day that I can clock in as your attorney general,
do everything I can to chase down and arrest Donald Trump,
and then clock out and golf. I'm paraphrasing a bit

(40:58):
for shortness, but that's basic what she said. So again,
after bragging about this, she's now accused of lying about
a house she bought in Virginia in order to secure
a lower interest rate. When she filled out the forms,
she attested to it being a second residence, which carries
with it owner occupancy requirements and stipulations on how many
years must pass before it can be rented. Instead, she

(41:21):
immediately rented it out, a move that would have changed
the terms of the loan, leading to a higher interest rate,
had she not allegedly falsified the application. So who exactly
is it that's living in this fraudulently obtained home, you
might ask. So, if you only read the slimes, you
think it's just a grand niece who needed tranquility. But

(41:44):
according to a new report, the grand niece is actually
a fugitive from justice, wanted in the state of North
Carolina on some rather serious charges. So let me see
if I am saying this correctly. The top cop in
the state of New York is is harboring a fugitive.

(42:08):
I don't know why this surprises me, but it maybe
a little surprises me. So let's go over this again.
Is the Attorney General of New York, who is currently
facing federal criminal charges harboring a fugitive in the house
she allegedly attained through fraud, because it sure seems like

(42:30):
that's what's happening here, and the fact that this is
a family member and not some random person makes it
so much worse. I mean, come on, dude. Yeah, well,
I don't necessarily want to say below eighteen because even
my kids started getting cell phones at like sixteen, when

(42:51):
they started, you know, being high schoolers and extra activities
and all that stuff. The only rule that was different,
and I argued with about it for a long time,
was my youngest he got one at fourteen. But that's
because he actually started playing football in middle school and
the wife wanted to be able to get a hold

(43:11):
of him about practices, et cetera. So I caved a
little bit and we went two years earlier on that one.
But you know, in this day and age, I have
to agree. I don't think. I think, kind of, like
you know, everything else, you shouldn't really have one so
you can afford to pay for it. Yeah, I mean, look,

(43:33):
this is just a nuts story to me. What I
find is funny is now you have the left off
he's weaponizing the government. You were fine when Biden was
doing it. You were fine when even Obama was doing it.
Just cliff notes versions real quick. During twenty fifteen twenty sixteen,
Obama let loose the FBI and the CIA to Koloud
to try to catch Trump campaign members and what they

(43:55):
call honeypot schemes. Then he basically told the mid level bureaucrats,
the midwits, a lot of which have been cleaned out
under Trump as the transition was happening, to basically do
business as usual, to ignore the president, speak more directly
to your immediate immediate supervisors, and follow their instruction because

(44:17):
they knew Trump wasn't really planning to plan on cleaning
house first term. He didn't know what he was doing,
so he was relying on people that were already there
and thinking that now that he was the boss, they
would listen, not realizing that a lot of these people
had been indoctrinated and actually put in these places these
positions on purpose. Then in Trump's second term, we found
out about these midwits that are actually ensconced or were

(44:39):
ensconced in DC mid level bureaucratic power seats, and we're
doing everything they can or could during Trump's first term
to undermine him at every single term, which is why
I laugh at all these people when when Trump calls
it Biden's FBI when he was on the way out
the door, He's not wrong. They were still loyal to

(45:01):
Biden and Obama. Trump didn't figure that out until it
was too late, which is why he's done a much
different tack this time as far as handling his business,
and he has gone through and started cleaning out the
people that were entrenched in positions of power that were
kind of that were in fact the deep state. They

(45:24):
were mid level enough that they had secured power for
the people below them, but they were mid level enough
that they never really got noticed, which is the very
definition of the deep state. So sorry, I'm just gonna
say this again. And I know we have some Gavin
Newscom folks that like to tune in from time to

(45:44):
time because for some reason, I get crazy numbers in California.
Trump was right about everything, I mean, not literally everything,
but pretty damn close, it seems, which is kind of scary.
What do you think about it? Or it should be anyway?
All right, So we got to talk about this real quick,

(46:04):
as we are already halfway through the final segment of
our one kal Arn Radio Players, we are doing the
Day the Year Stood Still. Sorry, I had to rewind
the mental tape there. It is October twenty fourth, twenty
twenty five, eight thirty pm, so a week from Friday,

(46:25):
be there or be square. So if you haven't checked
out Kaleen Radio Players works yet, we typically do a
fall play and a Christmas play and well, actually we're
trying to get back up to at least three. We
used to do a fall play at Christmas production, and
then we were trying to do a fall play at
Christmas production that a spring production. Last year we managed

(46:47):
to do I think it was Christmas in spring. So
this year we're kicking it off with the fall one,
which is usually Halloween related because it's spooky season here
on Klarn Radio, which is a perfect time to plug
Juxtaposition as well. Well. Saturday night, ten pm Eastern, we're
going to continue our foray into everything cryptids for spooky
season or for juxtab. This is what we call Jucstober.

(47:09):
So those two things should pair very nicely. So next weekend,
Friday night you get the Day the Year Stood Still.
Saturday night you get Juxtaposition Cryptids along with front Porch Forensics,
which is always kind of a spooky show because it's about,
you know, murderers and serial murders and all that cool stuff.
So what am I trying to say? Keep it locked

(47:30):
Kaylin Radio dot com because we've got the stuff that
you want to listen to, all right, So I'm got
to talk about this a little bit. Charlie Kirk was
born this day in nineteen ninety three. This is kind
of what set me over the edge because for the

(47:52):
first week or so, I didn't even let myself connect
these dots. This dude, this kid was born five months
after my oldest son. When I connected the dots that
this could have been my oldest son, that's when all
of this became really really personal for me, because ladies

(48:17):
and gentlemen, one of the hardest things that I've had
to come to terms with is realizing that one of
my preceps, one of my grounding principles, has been wrong.
This entire time, I have always held to the standard
of if we can just sit down and talk, we
can find common ground. And also in akin to that
and going along with that, is this one. The Left

(48:40):
aren't bad people. They're just people with terrible ideas. I
don't know how much of that can be considered the
truth anymore. Point one, the mansione case, point two, the
Charlie Kirk assassination. Point three, the two attempts to take
out Donald Trump that have failed. There's actually even a

(49:02):
third one wrestling around, and there's somewhere if memory service,
but it never really came to fruition, so it wasn't
found out about until well after the fact. Then you've
got the fact that people were celebrating the death of
an insurance CEO as if he was some sort of
war criminal. Charlie Kirk the same. So as much as

(49:27):
I have tried and tried and tried, and please understand,
when I talk about the left, I'm not talking about
the few centrists that are left within that party. I'm
talking about the rank and file, rabid major socialist leftists,
because that's pretty much all that's left. Other than the
old people. There are a few people that are still
clinging to the idea that the Democratic Party is what

(49:48):
it once was. Foreign policy wise, Bill Clinton would have
been a Republican today. Hell Bill Clinton in the nineteen
nineties was our ti elating magas Border policies then, so
the question you have to ask yourself is how far

(50:10):
left is our party actually come when now that's the right.
But that's not really true either, because that's remember that's
one of the things we used to be able to
agree on. Immigration is a good thing, illegal immigration is not.
But remember they were also only giving face to that idea.
Now they've turned heel to it. So they've embraced everything
because on one level they were telling you publicly that

(50:31):
this was a terrible idea, and behind closed doors they
were doing everything they couldn't implement it anyway. So yes,
on camera they were being what is in the industry
called a face, someone that you can see, that you
can relate to, that you identify with. And then there's
a flip side of that coin called a heel, and
it's basically when they turn away from that persona and
embrace who they actually were the entire time, which in

(50:53):
wrestling terms is usually a bad guy. But the left
has gone heel when it comes to immigration because they've
never really believed even the stuff that Clinton was spouting.
They just knew that's what they had to say to
get elected. The thing scariest thing about that is up
until recently they have even been having to do that anymore.

(51:16):
But what Charlie Kirk reminded me of is we are
in an age now where conversation is coming to an end,
and that should terrify every single one of us. One
of the things that I'm working on, and I probably
won't have it ready until next week, is a new song.
I don't even have a working title for it yet,
but it's kind of the landscape of where we're going
to land if the switch gets flipped on the right

(51:39):
when it comes to violence. So that one will probably
be ready in the next week or so. I have
a lot of other work I have to catch up
on this week. Now that I've gotten the frameworks done
for the week, I got to catch up on everything else.
But look, say whatever you want about Charlie Kirk, if
you still think he was a terrible person, and you've

(52:00):
probably never watched any of his complete talks in earnest
and you probably should. The problem with that is you
could argue politics all day long, but you can't argue
his impact. He built something that outlived him, and that's
what the ability to live free and chase your dreams

(52:21):
actually means you have the chance to build a legacy
if you choose to do so. This is what the
government is trying to take away from you. This is
what the government is actively trying to take away from you.
And it's not even that they're doing it in ways
that that are on that that are sneaky. They're just

(52:43):
making you feel like you don't need to worry about
those things anymore because the government's going to take care
of you. Trust me, this has been an experiment they've
been trying to run since the sixties. It's time to
pull the plug on that one, in my opinion. But

(53:04):
what do I know? So looking to see if we
have any updates on the shutdown. I don't know if
there's been any failed vote attempts today or anything else.
I'm just looking around the headlines just to see if
there's been any upticks or updates. I'm not really seeing anything,
but I figured i'd take a look real quick. Wait,

(53:26):
So Donald Trump finally did make the cover of Time,
but apparently they used a really terrible picture. So why
am I not surprised? Well, I mean, at least he
can finally say he made he made he made Time.
But dude, Okay, so I got to put this on

(53:47):
the screen. What the hell hang on? I mean, seriously,
that is just probably the weirdest angle of anything that

(54:11):
I have ever seen.

Speaker 22 (54:13):
Why.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
I mean, look, I get it, you don't you don't
like the dude, But now you've made yourself look retarded
because you have an upen nose shot of the president.
But yeah, I mean, come on, I mean, at least

(54:35):
he finally legitimately made the cover of Time, and they
had to be nice as far as the blurb goes,
I guess, but that that that really is probably one
of the worst pictures of him that I've ever seen,
which you know wasn't on wasn't on accident, by the way,
In case you didn't, you probably should. So I mean,

(54:59):
look at your mind magazine. You want to run into
the ground, that's your choice. I don't really care. But yeah,
pretty much any other image of him would have worked
much better than that one. But that says more about
Time than it does anything else. So I'm just, like
I said, the fact that they've had to point out
that he did something that almost nobody else probably could
have ever done is yeah, been kind of delicious to watch,

(55:24):
just saying all right, So, since we are on background
of the ceasefire topic, as we start wrapping things up,
would like to talk about this for a second. There
was an NBC reporter who said something interesting. I'm working
on getting that clip cueued up for you. Now give

(55:46):
me just a second.

Speaker 25 (55:52):
Sober thirty first, twenty twenty three, I remember distinctly and
you an official already describing Gaza as a great yard
for Palestinian children. And here we are two years later,
nearly twenty thousand children dead and much needed aid. They
have nothing to go back to, but they have their land.

(56:14):
And for Palestinians, ah boy, that is what they have
fought for for decades. I myself right now am outside
Offer prison. This is the largest prison in the West Bank.
As part of this hostages for prisoners exchange, we will
see two thousand Palestinians released from prison.

Speaker 26 (56:35):
Who are they?

Speaker 25 (56:36):
Let's start with right here, two hundred and fifty security prisoners,
convicted murderers serving multiple life sentences. Some of them will
be sent to Gaza, some of them will be deported
to third countries, some of them will go to East Jerusalem.
But about one hundred or so we'll be boarding buses
shortly and will be sent into the West Bank and
you'll be able to see them right behind me. Now,

(56:57):
we've seen family members of those hostages trickle into the
city of Bethuna, which is where I am, and they
don't know how long it's going to take. In the past,
it's taken in some cases hours and they were released
in the middle of the night. In some cases it's
happened quite quickly, so it might be a very long
day here. But over to Gaza, seventeen hundred Palestinians detained

(57:22):
in Gaza will be released. They are in some cases miners, doctors, nurses,
journalists who have never been charged. It's really important for
people to remember that they've been held under what's called
administrative detention. It's a controversial practice that allows Israel to
detain people for an indefinite period of time without charging them.
These people do not know why they have been detained,

(57:44):
and so in the eyes of many Palestinians you ask them,
they consider those people held without charge also as hostages,
and Palestinian officials will tell you that they believe Israel
has been arresting them, arresting as many as they can
to gather at as many bargaining chips as possible for
these negotiations.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
Okay, so that was probably one of the worst hot
mess takes I've ever seen regarding the situation, especially since
all of the surviving hostage members are already home. And
again I have to ask the same question the of
the author of the piece that I pulled the clip from,
asked where exactly does NBC find these people? All right,

(58:27):
so we've got lots more to get to when we
come back. My name is Rick Robinson. Our one is
officially in the books. Our two was still to come.
And we'll see you guys on the other side of
the break. So hang out for a little bit. We're
gonna play a mix of some ads, some music, and
we'll be back as soon as all as that, as
soon as all of that finishes, So stay with us, folks,

(58:49):
be right back.

(01:08:20):
hour two.

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
Good lord, I don't even what day is it, what
time is it? I don't even know it's because I've
been working NonStop for like ten days trying to get
a million different projects done. But we're here, we're live.
It's Tuesday. So for those of you that are working
for the weekend, you survived Monday, which is the worst
day of the week in my opinion, Bzy. I think
it has something to do with noisegate settings. I'm still
trying to figure that out. Most of the time I

(01:08:41):
try to play them from inside the restream, but I've
been in a hurry this morning. So anyway, so we're back,
we're live. It's Tuesday. Our one is in the books,
Our two is underway now, and there's still no shortage
of things to talk about. So breaking news. Donald Trump
was just announced phase one of his twenty step plan

(01:09:03):
is complete. They're now entering phase two. What that means exactly,
We're still trying to determine here. However, according to Donald Trump,
he is going to be using this as a springboard
to try to bring peace more peace to the world,
although other than taking care of the Russia Ukraine thing,
I don't really know if there's anything else on his plate,

(01:09:25):
at least for now, but who knows. Yeah, se, Yeah,
In case you missed it, before we went to break,
I played a clip of an NBC News reporter in
case you weren't exactly sure what she was insinuating. We're
gonna go over that now. She was basically insinuating that

(01:09:46):
Israel was kidnapping Palestinians to use them as negotiation pawns. Again,
I asked the question I asked before we went out
to break, Where exactly do they find with these people?
Because I just don't I don't get it. Oh, so
I didn't know about this. So this is from Matt Vespa.
It looks like it came out early early this morning,

(01:10:07):
and somehow I missed it when I was going through
my Talent Hall news briefs and stuff. So there's been
a development, and it's been a very busy thirty six
hours for President Donald Trump. Remember, he's back at the
White House, getting ready to hand out the Presidential Medal
of Freedom posthumously at some point the day, as far
as I know. So after bringing peace to the Middle
East once again, he trounced his doubters because you know,

(01:10:29):
they said this was something that would never happen, ended
the war in Gaza, and got Harmaster released the rest
of the Israeli hostages taken during the October seventh attack
because he was like, no more trickle down releases, all
or nothing. So remember this has been going on for
two years. The remains of the remains of captives murdered
by Hamas will also be returned. They've already started that process,

(01:10:51):
although there's last I heard, there were only like five
to seven of those that have been sent back, so
I guess they're still working on that. The President addressed
the Cannesse it yesterday, and we talked about that last night,
and we may, if we have time, play some of
those clips again today just because they were glorious watching
a bunch of Israelis give our president a standing ovation
when half our country can stand him because he's orange,

(01:11:14):
it has a cat on his head or something. He
then flew to Egypt to make this ceasefire agreement, which
Trump pitched at the end of September and he made
it official at that time. As with anything relating to
the President of the United States, he wasn't on schedule,
though this was intentional. Trump stuck around a little longer
to meet with the families of the hostages because you know,

(01:11:38):
he's just an a hole like that. He doesn't care
about meeting with anybody or talking about how they feel
or anything. He's just in it for himself and he's
gonna get what he needs to get, get in and
get out. Oh wait, but that isn't what happened.

Speaker 16 (01:11:52):
Is it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
Funny that today?

Speaker 29 (01:11:55):
And what stood out to me is how much he
actually cares about the region and the people here. This
is the most powerful man in the world, and yet
he purposefully delayed his schedule so he could spend more
time with the families of hostages and hostages who had
been freed in previous deals that he supported. And when

(01:12:15):
you think about what this means, it means that you
have a leader who is looking toward the future with
an understanding of the realities on the ground. And those
realities are that Israel is a population of nearly ten
million people. The Gaza Strip is a population of more
than two million people, and the President has a vision
for a future of the Middle East that would not

(01:12:37):
have all of the violence and war that has ravished
the Middle East for the past two years, as we've
seen inside the Gaza Strip with the death and destruction
following a horrific massacre on October seventh, and so this
really does feel like a moment of change for the
Middle East, an opportunity for countries around the world to
come together. And the President in his remarks that the

(01:12:58):
Israeli Kanessen made them very point. He said from cities
and states around the world that people should come together,
and he almost alluded to the fact that there are
going to be more normalization deals broken by the Trump
administration with countries like Indonesia.

Speaker 1 (01:13:17):
So yeah, again, So in case you're in case you're
wondering why I played that clip, it's because Donald Trump
was actually honored, was honored by some folks. Sorry, my
computer and I are having an argument there we go,
all right, So this is kind of you know what,
it's kind of a big deal. Hang on, I lost

(01:13:40):
where I was. I think noe, okay, I did not
never mind it looked weird for a second. So want
to put this up on the screen because even though
it's a terrible shot of him, we're gonna go through

(01:14:01):
some things here. So yeah, hang on. So I guess
he has actually made Time magazine before. I guess. I
guess I wasn't really paying that much attention. But hang on,
I gotta find the right thing, because that wasn't what
I wanted. All right, there we go, All right, So
there he is. I guess after winning the election President
elect Donald Trump on cover of Time magazine. Then we

(01:14:24):
go to this one, then there's this one, then there's
this one. I just can't with these people anymore. But

(01:14:51):
I guess in their defense, I guess they're not ashamed
of running Trump pieces anymore. They do everything linkin to
try to color them though, So I find that interesting.
So Katie Pavlich actually traveled with the President for this trip.
I'm sorry, Katie, you probably never slept the entire time.
I'm sorry. Standing among world leaders, Trump delivered remarks about

(01:15:15):
the new ceasefire and was awarded the Order of the
Nile by Egypt, Which is why I wanted to talk
about what we're talking about right now. So this is
from Katie Pavlich herself. After receiving high honors from Israel
in Egypt, President Trump is on his way back to
the White House. He leaves him at least as living hostages.
Families go to sleep with their loved ones at home.

(01:15:37):
Trump on the rebuild of Gaza. We will not fund terrorism,
hatred or bloodshed like in the past. This is from
Pete Hegseth. Thanks to Katie for your great coverage of
this historic trip. Potus equals peace. So I think this

(01:16:03):
is another worthy clip to play. So hang on.

Speaker 30 (01:16:13):
So we're going to go and I'm going to say
a few words. We'll give you a little speech, and
then we're going to meet with the leaders after that
and spend a little time together without the media. The
media is invited to the speech. I just want to
tell you the people behind me and some of the
people in the room that are so helpful, But the

(01:16:34):
people behind me are the greatest leaders, most powerful leaders,
the richest leaders. Frankly, sometimes it's not politically correct to
say that, but I'll say it. The richest in the
world that the world has ever seen. And yet when
you get to know them, I know every one of
them in their own way, and I can say in
particular some because that's the way life works. But some

(01:16:55):
of the greatest people you'll ever meet, and people that
really care for their countries. Why this happened is they
all came together and they wanted to get Gaza straightened out.
They wanted to get the whole thing straightened out. It
got to a point where it was just crazy. And
once they got together and once we started talking, it

(01:17:15):
went really to me and it went smoothly. It went
so smoothly.

Speaker 1 (01:17:18):
It was such a big help.

Speaker 30 (01:17:19):
But it went so smoothly that nobody could even believe
it that we're sitting here and getting this all certified
out and all done, and everybody's happy about it. Everybody's
happy about it like I've never seen before. Actually, I've
done other deals and people don't care as much big deals.

Speaker 1 (01:17:39):
I think they're big deals.

Speaker 30 (01:17:40):
But this is something that's taken off like a rocket ship,
and it did from the beginning. And I've heard for
years this is the biggest deal. It will never happen
for years, long before I ran for office.

Speaker 1 (01:17:50):
That is all right, So there you have it. There's
a bit of a bit of the press coverage from
the signing which took place because it was yesterday. But
was it yesterday or was it Sunday? Hell, I don't
even know. It's all blurring together. At this point, it
doesn't really matter to the point of the story. The
point of the story is Donald Trump continues to deliver

(01:18:13):
things that everyone once told us were impossible. You know
who's being hard to sit by all of this, the Democrats,
because you know what, the American people are starting to
understand it's easier for Donald Trump to negotiate it with
terrorists than it is for him to get the Democrats
to open the government because they want to hold you
hostage for one point four trillion dollars. Whether now, if

(01:18:35):
you're listening to ABC and NBC, I'm not even necessarily
necessarily going to say CBS much anymore, because I've noticed
their coverage tends to be trending back to the center.
How long it will last, I don't really know. But
if you're listening to folks like ABC, NBC, PMS Now,
and CNN, then you are being told everything that is

(01:18:57):
wrong with what Trump is trying to do and not
being shown any of the positive results. So of course
you have your own biases that are now being baked
in based on the information that you're receiving. This is
why I tell you don't just get your news from
one place, even if you listen to shows like this one,
read some right leaning outlets, read some left leaning outlets,

(01:19:18):
watch shows like this, start learning to do your own
research and forming your own opinions, because honestly, folks, again,
no matter how hard we try, our bias is going
to seep in, and usually the absolute truth is somewhere
in the middle, which is why I try to live
there as much as possible. The problem that I'm having
is I'm discovering that everybody else my middle is as
far as in this business, my middle is far right

(01:19:41):
of a lot of folks. But to me it's still
the middle. But to them, when they no, no, no,
you're a right wing extremist, I am really, because I
don't think I am. I don't feel like a right
wing extremist. But again, is there really such thing as
a right wing or a left wing extremist? We need
to just start identifying these people as extremists, because when

(01:20:02):
you go too far one direction or the other, you
wind up in the same place. On the other side
of the world. That's how it works. Political spectrum is
the same way. You go too far one way or
the other, you meet up and the other side and
you're right there, but you're on the other side of
the globe. So extremism, when you go too far one way,

(01:20:23):
the other one's up in exactly the same place. So
it isn't about right leaning extremism. It isn't about left
leaning extremism. It's about extremism because really, when you think
about it, the Hamasniks have a lot more in common
with the supposed right leaning KKK members then they do
the rest of society because they think Jews are terrible.
They think a lot of people of color are terrible.

(01:20:44):
They hide it and they wrap themselves in the DEI
and everything else. But if you get a buy and
closed doors, they say some pretty terrible stuff about people
of color. I've seen it happen, I've watched it happen.
You guys know exactly what I'm talking about, whether you
want to admit it or not. I'm still trying to
figure out how to get this back in the shot
with a new camerangle. There's no point in having this
shiny thing on the back of it unless they can

(01:21:06):
see it, all right. So yeah, like I said, we're
working on camerangles, and now that we have a better camera,
I'm probably gonna be able to take the shot out
a little bit further. It had to be close in
before it got even blurrier than it was. So we're
gonna be working on that over the next few days. Sorry,
talking to myself right now, making mental notes how it's
my process. It's my process.

Speaker 14 (01:21:27):
Don't judge me.

Speaker 1 (01:21:29):
Anyway, all right. So as a test, if you'll give
me a second, because I've been getting complaints that some
of the music that I have been playing has been
fading in and out, So I want to try something
real quick. Maybe Oh, hang on, I know why. I

(01:21:56):
didn't need to tweak this one at all, I don't think,
all right, So while we're getting ready for the break,
I'm gonna load that into the Freedom Freedom chat. Well
about to plug them in it anyway, which is probably
why they were on my head. But yeah, so I'm
gonna load that into the deck. Since it's my song,
I can play it from here without the mealing at
me and see if that helps with the fading in

(01:22:18):
and out. And I need you guys in the chat
to tell me when we do roll the song if
that actually helps her. Not just so I know, but
since we have nearly reached the halfway point of the show,
I want to take just a moment since we usually
play music in the middle. Now talk about again our
friends over Freedom Chat. Yes, I know I talk about
them all the time, but one they're a sponsors, so

(01:22:40):
it's kind of kind of what you got to do
in this kind of stuff. But also it's because I
like the product. I believe in the product. I use
the product. You can find a group for the Rick
Robinson Show as well as KLARM Radio on there. We're
working on adding other show specific groups as we go.
But I like the product. I use the product. It
is awesome. You don't have to worry about somebody you

(01:23:02):
know that may or may not accidentally get invited, which
is a lot harder on Freedom Chat. By the way,
it's impossible for anybody other than the ones that have
created the conversation to bring other people in as far
as the conversations go. Now, groups is different groups you
can you can join those, but as far as conversations
that are just kind of just one on one or
turns into a group conversation. Only the person who initiates

(01:23:24):
the conversation can invite people to it. And again, if
they can't screen capture it, it really doesn't matter what
you say when you're in there. They can't run to
the reporters and go, look what I fould when I
accidentally got invited to this briefing regarding drone strikes and
flyovers and blah blah blah. Yeah, that doesn't work with
freedom Chat, So again, check them out. Freedomchat dot com
will take you everywhere you need to go if you

(01:23:46):
have access to a web browser to find out which
version works best for you. That's going to depend on
your brand of phone, and it will take you to
the links to be able to down those those things
and show you how to get it all set up.
So I do encourage you to check it out. It's
up to you. Again, I'm not your boss. I can't
really tell you what to do. I can just get
you appointed in what I consider the correct direction. But

(01:24:08):
what you do with that information, as always, is going
to be up to you, all right, So we got
to talk about this on the way out the door.
You guys may know We've covered it before. There's been
a bit of a dust up at the Pentagon regarding
their new press policy, and they are not happy. So

(01:24:30):
Secretary of War Pete Hexeth responded to multiple media outlets
who announced they will not sign the Pentagon's revised press
rules with a handwave emoji in other words, by Felicia,
the Associated Press, Reuters, the New York's Fimees, The Washington Post,
The Atlantic, CNN, and NPR have already said they will
not sign off on the new policy, which and in nutshell,

(01:24:51):
is asking journalists to wear a media credential, say it
ain't so, and have an escort for sensitive areas. Never mind,
if they were politicians, they would have just misunderstood what
he meant by escort and been.

Speaker 8 (01:25:07):
Like, cool, let's go.

Speaker 1 (01:25:09):
Oh wait, sorry, I guess that joke. Did a crepe
escape my brain after all? Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Pernell
previously explained Texath posted a summary of the rules on x,
noting that the Pentagon now has same rules as every
other US military institution. Pentagon access is a privilege, not
a right. So here are the Department of War Press

(01:25:31):
credentials for dummies. Criteria Press no longer roams free You
are not free range press animals. Press must wear a
visible visible badge. Credentialed press no longer permitted to solicit
criminal acts. Why won't Why won't Why won't they sign

(01:25:54):
off on that? I'm confused that that doesn't That doesn't
seem like much of an to me. But apparently so
he went through and started waving by to each and
every one of them, starting with looks like New York
Time Communications when they said they wouldn't sign it, and
then went from there. So this is a quote. Journalists

(01:26:18):
have until Tuesday at five pm to decide whether or
not to sign the form. Those who do not must
turn in their credentials a day later. Other news outlets,
including The Guardian and CNN, have also said they reject
the policy. Hello, I'll sign the policy. Can we get
somebody from Digital Beacon and kal or in in that area.

(01:26:40):
I know some folks that live in DC. I can
put them on freelance work. I would love to have
access to that kind of coverage. Just throwing that out there.
The CNN's mission is to report fairly and fully on
the Department of War, the US military, and the Trump
administration will continue regardless of physical access to the Pentagon.
We will not to be deflected from our duty to

(01:27:01):
hold all three fairly and fully to account, and we
will continue to report on the actions and decisions making
processes of the US government without fear or favor. Why
is that the new buzzword phrase? And I say this
because I've been hearing it from pastors lately a lot

(01:27:22):
to this whole fear or favor thing. I don't get it.
I don't know why that's the new buzzword because I
know what well, it's not that we're trying to carry
favor with anybody, but we also don't want to want
to look like we're afraid of the administration either. No,
just stop it. Look again. If Donald Trump was the
dictator that you claimed him to be, you wouldn't be

(01:27:44):
allowed into the Pentagon at all, credentialed or otherwise. If
Donald Trump was the dictator that you continue to claim
him to be, then you would not or he would
not be bowing to the courts every time they say no,
you can't really do that. Okay, I'm going to file
an appeal and see what the court above you says.

(01:28:05):
That's not what a dictator does. A dictator says, screw
the courts, kind of like when Biden got his student
loan forgiveness stuff all the way to the Supreme Court
and the Supreme Court is like, hey, you can't really
do that, boss. He's like, askrew you. I'm gonna find
a way to do it. Anyway. That's a dictator, a
to a lot of folks, doddering old, full grandfather looking dictator,

(01:28:29):
but a dictator nonetheless, because that's what they do. They
circumvent the courts. They go around the courts. Donald Trump
hasn't been going around the courts in any way, shape
or form. He's been working through the courts. He's been
filing appeals. But that's not what a dictator does. But
then again, I've said this before. If Donald Trump or

(01:28:49):
the dictator that each and every single one of you
on the left seem to fear or claim that he is,
then you wouldn't be speaking out against him in the
first place. Y'all don't have that bone in you. You
just don't. The reason you are saying the things that
you are saying is because you know you are safe

(01:29:12):
saying them if he was really a dictator, Guess what
it would be us. We would be the ones warning
you because we have the sack to do it if
the time comes. We did it with Biden. We kept
telling you, this is a bridge too far. Him calling
half the country terrorist while being flanked by marines and
glowing red lights and even giving the fist pumps like

(01:29:35):
Adolf Hitler was a step too far. Him signing hundreds
of thousands of pardons on the way out the door,
apparently with an auto pin, probably held by one of
his staffers, was a bridge too far. But now you
want to tell this this guy who was working within
the bounds of the rule of law, trying to do
the things that he told everybody that he was going
to do, and actually using the power the Democrats keep

(01:29:57):
giving him over and over and over again, because if
you guys want to whine about the people that they fired,
remember he wouldn't have had that authority if the cr
had been passed, because then appropriations would have been set
for the beginnings of the new fiscal year using those
previous benchmarks, and he wouldn't have had the authority to
go in with a bunch of red pins and get

(01:30:17):
rid of people. So I have to ask you again,
is Chuck Schumer secretly maga and is trying to play
the entire left as fools? Because this is starting not
to make any sense. I understood it until he started
making cuts. At this point, Schumer should be coming back
to the table because if not, they're not going to
have anything left to fight over. So is he done?

(01:30:38):
Does he realize that he's done and he's giving everybody
a finger on the way out the door? These are
my actual thought processes as we get ready to take
the bottom of the hour break. This isn't me trying
to spend anything with you. This is me actually thinking
things through because something about what Schumer's doing doesn't make
sense right now. It made sense until the reaper was
turned loose. Now it doesn't. Now it doesn't because again,

(01:31:05):
if the left really thought what Donald Trump was doing
was that bad, they would be the first ones to
let it happen. So maybe that's it. Maybe he's decided,
you know, this is what people voted for us, that
we're gonna give him the cuts. But I don't think so.
All Right, I know it's a refire, you guys have
already heard it once, But I'm gonna do an audio

(01:31:26):
check with this one anyway. So my name is Rick Robinson.
This is my show. We'll be back after this musical interlude.
Stay tuned.

They can bury us in size the true sail, scream

Speaker 1 (01:34:48):
And welcome back into the program, ladies and gentlemen. Sorry,
I got my ears a bit out of whack. Let
me fix some stuff here, all right, So I think
we're good now, welcome back into the program. We are
into the final few minutes of our two. We will
go probably a little bit over. Maybe I'm trying to
track the clock is do it weird? Oh yeah, it's

(01:35:08):
because it was like the show clocks, right, But I
forgot I had to step away for like five minutes
to check on the delivery, so I technically do stillo.
You guys, five minutes will probably make that up.

Speaker 2 (01:35:16):
At the end.

Speaker 1 (01:35:18):
So this is exactly why the Dems are starting to
feel really hardly hit by what's going on with Donald Trump,
because so there's chagrin all of his foreign policies working.
There's apparently a foreign policy expert who seems to understand
why it's working and why the Democrats are hardest hit.
This is from Mike Miller over at, red state, hitler, Nazi,

(01:35:43):
fascist tyrants, authoritarian, autocrat, dictator, racist, white supremacist. So it's
safe to say you easily recognize the above visceral descriptors
as a partial list of names Democrats and other leftist
have spewed at or about President Donald Trump in their
endless stream of TD riddled at hominem attacks throughout the
last now ten years. Moreover, the Democrat Party has become

(01:36:06):
even more and even more unhinged during the first almost
nine months of Trump's second term. With good cause, Trump
is accomplishing the pledges he made to voters during the
twenty twenty four presidential election campaign, and until millions of
Americans across the country are seeing the things they voted
for come to pass. Now in the aftermath of the

(01:36:28):
historic ceasefire between Israel and Amas, many, if not most,
Democrat political figures seem to be taking one of two tracks.
Remain nearly silent like most of the squad until recently
or absurdly and desperately attempts to credit the miserably failed
Biden Harris administration for creating conditions that allowed the ceasefire

(01:36:49):
to become reality, which what colors this guy in your
world again. Meanwhile, veteran foreign policy hand Walid Faras, who
advised Trump on in his first administration, has a distinctly
different take on how Trump managed and in some cases
all but strong armed, a remarkable coalition of Middle Eastern

(01:37:11):
and global leaders who helped make the ceasefire possible. And
I quote, the secret of President Trump's success internationally is
his ability to number one form coalitions, Vera has explained
Monday during his appearance on Newsmax's news Line. So that's

(01:37:31):
bad for the Democrats anyway and their sock puppets in
the left wing media. It's really terrible. I mean, how
can this be? How could Hitler, I mean a fascist
or wait, an autocrat like Trump possibly put together a
broad coalition and craft the peace agreement that untold numbers
of experts haven't thought was possible for decades. I wonder

(01:37:53):
why that is so in the United States. When they
see their presidents succeeding and bringing together such a large coalition,
they have no choice but to support it. Let's all
go back to the first term, when he was able
to gather a very large coalition of Arabs and Muslims,
he spoke to them, asked them to drive the Jahadist out,
to isolate the regime and Iran. He of course convened

(01:38:15):
the Abraham Accords that were signed in twenty twenty. Those
accords normalize relations between Israel and several Arab states, the
United Arab Emmerans, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan. Sudan sorry, representing
one of the most consequential diplomatic achievements in decades. And also,

(01:38:36):
if you'll remember correctly, those accords were what started Hamas
panicking and they lashed out and they said as much.
Because again this is a quick primer two three minutes
for those of you who don't understand what happened in Gaza.

(01:38:57):
So throughout history, these folks have been let in a
handful of times by some of the countries that they've
come from until they started their own that the same
bs they were trying to pull in Gaza. But one
of the reasons why it took so long for these
countries to start letting them back in is because they
are descendants of the people who promised the rest of
the Middle East that they were gonna wipe Israel off
the map and failed. These are the people that were

(01:39:20):
that are the descendants of and possibly even still members
of the original Six Day War, and they lost, and
they have been trying to save face with their home
countries ever since now that they're basically considered outcasts, because
that's how that's how their culture works. It really is,
their home countries really don't want anything to do with

(01:39:41):
them unless they absolutely have to because of the fact
that they consider them failures. For those of you that
are sci fi nerds, I'm gonna make you this as
easy for you as possible. You remember the Star Trek
the Next Generation scene where the council turned their back
on wharf. That's basically what happened to every single one
of these people. Their home cultures no longer recognized them

(01:40:04):
because they had dishonored themselves and their home, their home countries,
et cetera. So, but this is what said Hamas all
the Twitter, and they started trying to figure out what
they were going to do to stop all this mess,
because Lord knows, Hamas can't afford there to be peace
of the Middle East or they're going to lose their
hold on Gaza. And they knew it. They're losing it

(01:40:26):
anyway because it was a failed gamut, but they had
to try. So the funny thing about all that is,
and I know I'm kind of all over the place
inside this framework, but since it's all been brought up,
it still kind of ties together, believe it or not.
The funny thing is realizing that, you know, you had
some of the Israeli prisoners that have been released, and
they've been They were talking about how during the election
that everybody from they could hear the people that were

(01:40:49):
Hamas going please let please let earth win, Please let
hearth win, Please let hearth win, because they knew the
jig was up. If she didn't, they knew it. So granted,
with all of this, there must there are a couple
of realities that must be acknowledged, with one being that
only the first phase well I guess now that was

(01:41:10):
at the time of the writing, but now we have
officially apparently moved into phase two of Trump's twenty point
piece plan has been agreed to by Hamas. And second,
the Palestinian terrorist groups remain steadfast and its insistent that
it will not disarm. For the above reason, Affairs has
said the ball is now in the radicals court, and

(01:41:31):
I quote the choices are now going to be to
the radicals. Will Hamas actually accept or admit that it
has weapons and surrender them. Will the Islamic regime and
Iran choose the abraham Accords path. President Trump is showing
everybody that there is no other alternative than going in
that path. So as we do as we did just

(01:41:51):
find out, looks like in the last few minutes they
have announced they've officially moved into Phase two. Look, I
don't know how long this is going to hold. I
really don't. The Middle East has been a tenderbox for
a very long time. But I will say this, Donald
Trump has managed to get the prisoners home now. Apparently
some of Israel's far right contingents aren't happy about some

(01:42:13):
of the concessions that have been made to make that happen.
But from the response I saw from Donald Trump and
the canesset yesterday, I don't think they're as angry as
some on the left want you to think. Either. They
did release a lot of They did release a lot
of Palestinian prisoners. Again, not really sure how I feel

(01:42:34):
about that, But here we are anyway, all right, So
as we get halfway through again, we're going to talk
to you guys again about the Kalin Radio Players. I
know I'm talking about the same things over and over
and over again today, but it's important.

Speaker 32 (01:42:48):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:42:49):
These things are fun, They're awesome. I have participated in
every single one whenever possible, other than the War of
Worlds because at that point I was having a nervous breakdown.
I didn't even know they were doing one, but from
what I heard, that one was great fun. I've gone back,
I've listened to it again. We are not professional Polish actors.
We are not anybody trying to put on a you know,

(01:43:10):
worthy of audible audio play. No, we're folks trying to
have fun, trying to bring a little bit of fun
back into your lives. We're known as the klar And
Radio Players. This spooky season, we're doing the Day of
the Earth Stood Still. I encourage you to join us.
That will be Friday, October twenty fourth, eight thirty pm Eastern,

(01:43:31):
or as we lovingly call it around here, Aggie time.
So it is a week from Friday, which reminds me
I have a wedding to get ready for like three
more days. Fun times, fun times, anyway, I think wait,
was it was it?

Speaker 22 (01:43:56):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:43:56):
No, that's right. So I have one on the sixteenth
and one on the nineteenth show. And I mentioned I'm
an ordained minister too. Is probably the other reason I'm
trying to work on my language a bit more, because
now that I'm actually performing ceremonies and stuff again, I
figure I should probably make sure I don't accidentally drop

(01:44:17):
an F bomb in the middle of a marriage ceremony.
That would really be darable. Oh no, not me, brother,
I am performing the ceremony, not not in not an
active participant. I have two this week. So yeah, I've
honestly kind of given up on that stuff. If I'm

(01:44:37):
being honest, I'm gonna focus on building my media empire
and let everything else sort itself out along the way
or not, because I don't care anymore. I don't have
the time or the energy of their inclination about myself
out in today's dating cycle. At some point I may
actually start talking about that because it has been insane.
The world is so weird now it just is all right.

(01:45:05):
So CNN stepped on a rake again. I'm trying to
figure out if this is the clip or the retraction.
I think this is the retraction. I think hang on

(01:45:31):
all right, So, in case you missed it, apparently somebody
from CNN stepped on a rake yesterday and now they're
being forced to apologize. But just for fun, let's play
the apology now.

Speaker 32 (01:45:44):
Earlyer live on air, I spoke about what a day
of real joy this is for Israeli families whose loved
ones are finally being returned from two years of horrific
Hamas captivity, and for civilians in Gaza who finally had
a reprieved from two years of brutal and deadly war.
I noted that for the hostages who are finally home,
it'll take a long time for them to recover mentally

(01:46:05):
and physically. But I regret also saying that they might
have been treated better than many Gazans because Hamas used
these hostages as pawns and bargaining chips. But that was
insensitive and it was wrong. From speaking to many former
hostages and their families, like everyone, I've been horrified at
what Hamas has subjected them to over two long years.

(01:46:26):
They've told me, as you've just heard their stories of
barely being able to breathe in the tunnels, not being
allowed to cry, being starved and made to dig their
own graves. And of course today some of the hostages
are coming back in body bags.

Speaker 1 (01:46:42):
So yeah, that kind of felt like a forced non
apology if I've ever heard one. But again, I don't
really care. You know, CNN can be whoever they want
to be, CBS can be whoever they want to be,
NBC can be whoever they want to be. ABC can
be whoever they want to be. Just stop hiding it

(01:47:04):
from people and hiding behind JUDI journalistic integrity and middle
of the line BS and everything else. All right, So
you know what, since I owe you guys some time,
I'm I'm gonna say I have not. I have not
vetted this at all. But I'm curious because I just
found something and it looks like it was put out

(01:47:25):
by a group called Forgotten History, and apparently it debunks
the party switch. So again I have not. I have
not vetted this, so if it's terrible, we'll cut it off.
But since this is one of the biggest arguing points
I find myself on on social media, if this gives
you guys any useful information, I figure it might be
worth it. So here we go. We're gonna let this run.

(01:47:49):
And then I will come back and wrap up the
show in the final five that I'm going to give
you guys extra time for So hopefully this works out
for everybody because this has been this has been one
one of my biggest arguing points with everybody is they
always say on the left after the Civil Rights Act,
the party switched. That's an absolute lie. Let's see how
well this group explains it though.

Speaker 33 (01:48:19):
This is the story of one of the most controversial
theories in American political history, the party switch. One of
the great and often repeated myths in American politics is
the great switch of the two primary political parties. One
question often arises, how did the Party of Abraham Lincoln
become the party of the southern conservative base? How did

(01:48:41):
Democrats go from the party of segregation and lynching to
the party of civil rights? Was there, in fact a
complete ideological switch. Let's clarify this situation. Was there really
a full ideological switch between Democrats and Republicans? Today we're
going to break down the fact and the fiction behind
this idea. What is the party's witch theory? What is

(01:49:05):
the historical reality? When did this supposedly occur? Was it
ever true? Hello, I'm calling Heaton former history professor Army
RINKRPS veteran and welcome to this episode of Forgotten History.

(01:49:43):
The theory suggests that Democrats and Republicans swapped ideological platforms
during the twentieth century, especially on issues like civil rights, race,
and the role of government. In this version of history,
the Republican Party supposedly embraced the policies and the voters
of the old Southern Democrats, while Democrats claimed to have

(01:50:04):
transformed into champions of civil rights and minority causes. The
Democrat Party as we know it was shaved by Andrew Jackson,
a populist but also a slaveholder. The Republican Party, founded
in the eighteen fifties, was the party of Abraham Lincoln
and born in opposition to the expansion of slavery, but
not the abolishment of slavery. Please see our videos on

(01:50:26):
Jackson and Lincoln. After the Civil War, Republicans pushed reconstruction
policies to protect the rights of freed black people. Meanwhile,
Southern Democrats created and enforced Jim Crow laws maintaining segregation
and opposing civil rights for African Americans well into the
twentieth century. Even Democrat President Woodroll Wilson was a staunch

(01:50:50):
racist who wanted to complete government control and created the
Internal Revenue Service with the Sixteenth Amendment in nineteen thirteen
and the Federal Reserve to take more money from Americans.
By the nineteen thirties, under Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic
Party began courting working class voters, including northern black communities,

(01:51:11):
with programs like the New Deal, but FDR did little
to nothing to improve race relations to the South and
refused to support anti lynching legislation or desegregation of the military.
He confiscated gold supplies from Americans, and he had the
opportunity to desegregate the military and allow the immigration of

(01:51:31):
Jews under persecution from Germany and Austria, and he refused.
See our videos on FDR. The Democrats also supported labor unions,
which the Republicans in generals saw as a communist attempt
to control effective business practices. The Northern Democrats tended to
be supportive of civil rights for blacks to gain their

(01:51:52):
support away from the Republican Party, which was business friendly
and pushing for a limited government involvement, but this divided Democrats.
Southern Democrats remained fiercely segregationist, while Northern Democrats grew more
supportive of civil rights, causing growing tension within the party.
The nineteen fifties and sixties pressure Mountain Northern Democrats supported

(01:52:13):
civil rights legislation to secure black votes, while Southern Democrats
resisted fiercely trying to block blacks from voting. Senators like
Strom Thurman and Robert Byrd, the latter a former KKK
member and see our video on him, were both Democrats
who led the charge against civil rights from within the
Democratic Party. The other major opponent to civil and voting

(01:52:36):
rights for blacks in the South was Texas Senator Lyndon
Baines Johnson, the future President, who, along with Democratic Senator
Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, fought tooth and nail
to keep blacks from receiving legal recourse under the Constitution.
Senator Byrd himself had in the early nineteen forties recruited
about one hundred and fifty of his friends and relatives

(01:52:58):
and other associates to create a new chapter of the
Ku Klux Klan in Sofia, West Virginia. He later changed
his political position on civil rights as well, but remained
a Democrat despite his long history of being previously opposed
to the various civil rights bills, LBJ signed the Civil
Rights Act of nineteen sixty four and the Voting Rights

(01:53:21):
Act of nineteen sixty five, largely due to political pressure
and the rise of figures like Republican Barry Goldwater who
opposed federal overreach and supported racial equality. This alienated many
white Southern Democrats also known as Dixiecrats, who had historically
opposed the integration and supported segregation. This was when the

(01:53:42):
Republican Party began to appeal to Southern Democrats who wanted
limited government in their lives. Greater states rights, and the
social conservative platform of Republicans began to appeal to many
Southerners who were drifting away from the racial mindset. Goldwater's
posture and perceived hardline stance against communism was in alignment

(01:54:02):
with conservatives, but it was also used against him, a
position which LBJ initially claimed publicly to be opposed to,
despite his later creating the Gulf of Tonkin incident as
a ruse to get legislation passed to send American combat
troops to South Vietnam. Due to the creation of welfare
and other entitlements by the Johnson administration in order to

(01:54:23):
buy the black vote through generational patronage, Democrats had a
durable base among minorities, urban voters, and socially liberal intellectuals. Also,
Southern Democrats were anti legal immigration into their states, while
the Northern Democrats promoted legal immigration. Also, Southern Protestants were
typically more religious and church going, while the Northern, East

(01:54:44):
and West Coast Democrats began to walk away from organized
religion and adopted pro Marxist platforms, which were deemed by
Southern conservatives as anti American. This all triggered a backlash,
and Johnson famously said, we have lost the South for
a generation, but we have the black vote for the
next two hundred years. This was the moment when many

(01:55:06):
Southern white voters, alienated by civil rights policies and federal
warfare expansion, began to shift toward the Republican Party, not
because the GOP embraced racism, but because it promoted limited government,
states rights, and traditional family values. Another factor aiding in
the shift was the Vietnam War, which also divided the

(01:55:26):
country along political lines, and W. WJ took the greatest
criticism from his own party as a result. Democrats were
heavily divided on Vietnam as well. The majority of politically
liberal Democrats opposed to their own Democrat President Johnson regarding
US involvement, while more conservative Democrats and Republicans either took
a neutral or pro American involvement in fighting communism. In

(01:55:49):
nineteen sixty eight, Richard M. Nixon ran on the presidential
GOP ticket, and he courted disaffected Southern whites using code
words like law and order, states rights, and position to
forest bussing, while still maintaining the GEP support for black rights,
which still divided Democrats. This opened the door for Republicans,
notably Richard Nixon and later Ronald Reagan, who used what

(01:56:12):
has become known as the Southern Strategy to gain support
in the South by appealing to concerns about federal overreach
against states rights and cultural change. Richard Nixon's Southern strategy
emphasized law and order and opposition to federal busing policies,
which was a big deal to Democrats, appeals that resonated
with voters frustrated by cultural and political appeal. Nixon had

(01:56:35):
campaigned on getting out of Vietnam, which satisfied many of
both parties voters, and also added Southern whites to Republican roles.
Nixon also ended the Democrat created Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment program
created by Democrats, among other legislation, and see our video
on Nixon. Ronald Reagan later unified these groups into a

(01:56:56):
larger conservative coalition business leaders, evangelicals, and working class rights
Under the banner of small government and anti socialist policies.
Democrats became the party of urban centers, progressives, minorities, and
coacial elites. They eventually abandoned the ku Klux Klan, which
they had created after the Civil War and supported for

(01:57:16):
a century, because the hate group had become too toxic.
Republicans attracted religious conservatives, rural voters, small business owners, and
working class traditionalists, especially in the South and Midwest, as
progressive Democrats, especially in the North, turned away from supporting religion,
which conservatives found appalling. Yes, it is true that some

(01:57:39):
Democrat figures switched parties, like strong Thurmen of South Carolina,
but the idea that the GOP adopted the racist legacy
of the Democratic South is misleading and patently false. The
ku Klux Klan, for instance, was never embraced by the GOP.
In fact, the reided administration helped dismantle it legally and financially,

(01:58:00):
effectively destroying it. Over the years, Democrats embrased more progressive
positions on gun control, gender identity, immigration, and race. They
allied with activist groups like Black Lives Matter, ANTIPA, and others,
whose critics argued furthered social and political division and supported
wanton violence. Meanwhile, many centrist and conservative Democrats, especially in

(01:58:23):
the South, left the party altogether, becoming Republicans or independents.
This wasn't a swap, it was an evolution. In essence,
the Democrats, who have revised their history to remove the
stains of slavery, Jim Crow, and violence against blacks, have
lost control. Democrats loved to identify Republicans as being the

(01:58:44):
party of racist and anti middle class workers. They claimed
that Republicans adopted all the evils of the old Democrats,
while never acknowledging the fact that the Democrats were the
progenitors of the evil they now claimed to oppose. So
let's set the record straight. The Republican Party did not
become the party of racism. The Democratic Party didn't suddenly
eracist legacy of slavery, segregation, opposition to civil rights, lynching,

(01:59:06):
and violence. The great lie that was created and still
pushed by Democrats is that the Great Switch included the
Republicans adopting a racist and domestic terror policy and embracing
groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, which never happened.
In fact, it was under Reagan that the Klan was
finally destroyed. However, ultra right nationalist groups that arose have

(01:59:30):
traditionally been Republican in their voting habits since the late
nineteen seventies, while ultra left domestic terror groups remained entrenched
within the Democrat Party, replacing the far right Democrats created
and supported KKK. In fact, the modern Democrats today still
support active violence. But did the parties release switch, Well,

(01:59:51):
not exactly. There was no official swap of platforms or
party names. Instead, there was a gradual realignment of coalitions.
The Republican Bay grew in the South and included all
these previous groups because they were socially conservative, working class Americans,
and recently, many Democrats who abandoned their party and registered

(02:00:12):
as Republicans or independents actually voted for Donald Trump. The
Reagan Revolution in the nineteen eighties brought together business interest
and everyone else who felt disenfranchised by Democrat politics, and
they united under the GOP brand, using an anti liberal,
anti socialist, states rights message and limited government platform. This

(02:00:33):
shift was a gradual realignment of voters ideologies and regional priorities,
not a clean switch. The Democrat platform wanted to abolish
the Second Amendment that was a large part of the
political shift in politics. Over time, Democrats became more aligned
with the urban minority of progressive voter in major cities
on the east and west coast and in large northern

(02:00:54):
and even some southern cities, while the Republicans have attracted
and contained and retained rural, religious, and conservative voters, particularly
in the South and Midwest. More recent Democrats supported criminal
entities such as Black Lives Matter and Antifa and see
our video on BLM, and even their left wing socialist
predecessors like the Weather Underground terrorists and also see our

(02:01:17):
video on them, remained loyal to and were supported by
the Democrats and still are to this day. These actions
drove conservative Democrats even further away from the party and
further divided Democrats and forced others to change affiliation. The
argument had been that the parties literally swapped the names
and positions, but the parties evolved gradually and their ideological

(02:01:40):
coalition shifted, and Democrat methods remained pretty much the same.
Today's political map reflects decades of migration, economic change, and
cultural realignment, not a simple party flip. African American voters
who largely supported the Up after the Civil War began
overwhelmingly voting Democrat after the nineteen sixties due to the

(02:02:04):
lawless passed by LBJ and the black support regarding both
parties still favor the Democrats, but in far less numbers. Today.
It's not about who changed names, It's about who showed
up and what they stood for. People generally vote with
their pocketbooks, and Democrat policies have always increased taxes, reduced

(02:02:24):
employment opportunities, increased interest and mortgage rates, increased nonsensical spending
at home and abroad, as well as increased the general
cost of living. But perhaps the greatest driving forestending former
Democrats to the middle or right, where the Biden administration's
policies on taxpayers, funding millions of illegal immigrants, importing and

(02:02:46):
increasing violent crime, and the liberal Democrat supporting and George
so responded, mainstream media being caught in thousands of lies,
supporting democratic criminal activities and creating conspiracies against conservatives and CRV.
You on, George Soros, so to set the record straight
that two parties didn't switch names or trade platforms. What

(02:03:07):
changed were their coalitions, the kinds of voters they attracted,
and the cultural issues they championed. So, yes, there was
a switch of sorts, but it was simply a matter
of those citizens with a socially and fiscally conservative mindset
drifting more to the political right to whom they were aligned,
and today's socialist liberal taxes spend collective remaining on the left.
It is as simple as that. Thank you for watching

Speaker 1 (02:04:03):
Helps if I remember how to unmut my microphone, I
don't know what was going on there. Hang on, I'm
probably coming through garble for you guys, all right, so
it should be sounding better in about three seconds. I
keep forgetting what happens if I have sounds playing in
the background, even though you technically can't hear them. All right,
So I'm gonna say again, never watched that before. Now,

(02:04:24):
that is probably one of the most centrist explanations of
it I've ever seen, and actually pretty well actually accurate.
So if you like what they did there, that's one
of the reasons why I let all the stuff play
at the end. Make sure you go find them and
hit the like button, hit the subscribe button. You can't
even drop on my notez, Hey, we heard about you
on the show today. You played your clip. I may
get yelled at for it, but I at least want

(02:04:44):
them to see that I'm trying to help build their
audience by sharing their stuff. That some people like it,
some people don't, And I may get asked never to
play it again. I don't know, but it might be
worth it after all. All right, So we have come
to the point in time where we are about to
have to say goodbye, ladies and gentlemen. Just one of
the mind you that, and you know this is becoming
more and more factually accurate. Keep blaming the Democrats for

(02:05:08):
what they deserve blame for. Keep blaming the Republicans for
what they deserve blame for. But most of all, do
everything you can to make your corner of the world
a better place. That's where you need to start, no
matter what else, that's where you need to start. Make
sure that you and your family are safe and okay first,
then work your way out from there. Start making sure

(02:05:29):
that you've got emergency supplies on hand, a generator if
you can get one, ammunition, weapons, food stores, all of it.
It's better to be prepared and not needed than to
not be prepared and wish that you had it. This
is the Rick Robinson Show. I am Rick Robinson on
the way back tonight, hanging out with the Manorama panel
as we do the annual Halloween special they do over

(02:05:52):
there because it's spooky season. Make sure you guys come
back before that though, and hang out with Aggie and
Brad as they do the culture the Cocktail Lounge. Sorry,
but two of brad show's sound very similar in name
and title, and I start getting them confused for that
very reason. All right, folks, that's gonna do it. This

(02:06:12):
one is gonna be in the books. Want to thank
everybody again for taking the time to hang out with
us today and we will see you later tonight for
Manorama for those of you that are so inclined to
come hang out with us and partake of the showy goodness.
I'll have some other stuff coming out soon. I'm gonna
work on hopefully getting some publications done today. We do

(02:06:36):
have on rix Rants the latest episode and show notes
for America Off the Rails are posted there. The most
recent drop for Kingdom and Country is on their substack page.
I've got some other stuff that I have about halfway
edited at this point that I hope to have out
later today or tonight. But my name is Rick Robinson.

(02:06:56):
This has been my show. We will see you guys
when we see you. God bless say good night, Gracie
