light where the shadow has its I guess in the
mix and calls on cue.

Speaker 13 (10:56):
He's a voice for the many.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
And good Friday Eve morning. For you Normans. It's Thursday.
Those of us that used to have weekends off, we
like to call it Friday Eve because it's the day
before Friday, which, oddly enough, when I had weekends off,
was like more fun for me than actual weekend, which
was weird. That was when I started figuring out that

(11:21):
I probably needed to figure out a new line of word,
because it got to the point where I was, oh
my god, it's Friday, and I'm all excited. And then
halfway through Saturday, I was like, but tomorrow Sunday, and
that means it's Monday the next day, and that means
I have to go back to work most of the time,
and uh yeah, but now I work all the time,
so it doesn't matter anyway. So yeah, I was working

(11:42):
until I think I fell asleep at my desk again
around eleven thirty because I woke up and realized I
didn't flip the switch. So anyway, so we're back, We're live.
Thanks to my assistance. We still got a pretty tight
show put together for you this morning. So hope everybody's
having a great Thursday. When I give a quick shout
out to a raptor already hang out out in the chat,
he's early. I hope everybody else starts coming in. Remember

(12:04):
as you come in, make sure you are liking the feed,
sharing the feed, and pushing it out however you can,
because that helps us beat the dreaded al Gore rhythms.
I know, dad joke moment, but it deserves one of these,
all right, So let's get things started again. In his Thursday,
October sixteenth, we are sixteen days into the Schumer shakedown shutdown,

(12:27):
and not much is changing other than the fact it
looks like thoone is signaling that if they can get
this thing passed as far as the CR then they
might consider extending the ACA subsidies. If they cave, I
swear I'm gonna don't even get me started. Don't even
get me started. I also got some data from a friend,

(12:49):
and I'll be trying to get that analyzed for us
while we're on our first break. It looks like there
may have been a steep drop off in housing applications,
which would explain quite quite a lot of this data
make sense. But I want to get it reviewed first
and make sure that I have alternate sourcing. So let's
talk about this so here in Oklahoma, the shutdown isn't theoretical.

(13:11):
FA trainers in Oka and Oklahoma City are benched, airports
are tightening belts, and real families are starting to feel it.
But of course Schumer sixteen days in and Schumer has
now failed nine times to pass even a short term
funding patch. Republicans say they're ready to deal. Senator John

(13:34):
Thune even guaranteed to vote on the ACA subsidies once
the government reopens. Democrats still playing chicken with a lot
of you folks as paychecks. According to town Halls, Matt vespa,
he well, actually he asked the right question. During last
night's session, What the hell happened to the Democrats? The

(13:54):
caucus collapsed into confusion, no message, no plan, just finger
pointing even Staffords admitted Schumer lost the room. The adults
in the room spend the evening fighting. The drapes are lighting,
the drapes on fire. Sorry, apparently I need to I
need to be able to read better Today. I'm messing

(14:15):
up on my notes. I'm salarrick, but I'll fix it.
Apparently I'm having to do the squinty thing today. So
we'll raise We'll raise the font a little bit on
my notes. So hang on. Okay. So, so again the
caucus collapsed in the confusion with absolutely no message, no plan.

(14:39):
And in case you're wondering, you can see most of
this on c SPAN and I might suggest you bring
popcorn if you decide to start checking it out. So,
if you're trying to figure out why your tax refund's
delayed while senators argue over optics, you're not alone. So

(14:59):
then came the curveball, John Fetterman, who I used to
not so lovingly call uncle Uncle Festerman. I now officially
take all of that back. Yes, that guy told the
News Nation crowd he follows country over party and refuses
to call people Nazis or fascists. In today's Democratic party.

(15:21):
That's practically treason. Pennsylvania insiders already hint up primary challenges
brewing for him in twenty twenty eight, So that doesn't
that doesn't surprise me. You can't go against the lockstep
narrative of the left. The funny thing is they keep
saying that we're the ones that are the thought police,
and we're the ones that only want like minded individuals.

(15:44):
And I will say, there is a part of MAGA
that does align with that thought process. If you're not exactly,
if you're not one hundred percent with us, you're against us.
But most of the Republican Party doesn't feel that way.
We still live by Reagan's rule of eighty twenty and
in today's climate, I will some times ago as low
as sixty forty as long as as long as we
are still over the line of what I want to

(16:05):
get done, I will work with almost anybody. I will
talk to almost anybody. What shaged that for me was
Charlie Kirk being assassinated. That has made it a lot harder,
and that especially watching some of the some of the
stuff that's come out here in Oklahoma. I guess turning
Point USA is supposed to be here today we'll see
if that happens, because they were already supposed to be
here last week and that event got canceled, and when

(16:26):
it did, a bunch of online trolls were cheering. Now,
whether those folks were actually from Oklahoma or just Chinese
bots or whatever, I don't really know. But it's getting
to the point where I'm starting to feel like I
don't recognize my country or my state. I don't know
how I feel about this, all right. So, while while

(16:47):
Fetterman of all people continues to try to lower the temperature,
Schumer keeps throwing gas on the fire, and the rest
of us keep paying for the heat. Meanwhile, half a
hemisphere away, President Trump quietly can firmed he's authorized CAA
operations in Venezuela, and as PG media Sarah Anderson noted,
a pair of US bombers apparently left some sky art

(17:09):
over Venezuela airspace, the kind that would make a middle
schooler giggle and Maduro blush. You can't make this up.
Washington can't pass a budget, but we've got enough jetful
to doodle anatomy lessons over socialist dictatorships. Maybe the message
was simple. While Congress argues about who keeps the lights
on the Pentagon's reminding tyrants the lights still work. Hmm.

(17:33):
That could be a good one. That could be a
good one. All right, So after this message about a
friend of ours, we're gonna come right back into this
and we've got so when we come back. The breakdown
in Washington isn't just political, it's systemic. And this week
the failure echoed through our airports. And that's next. But
first I want to talk to you about our friends

(17:55):
over at freedom Chat. If you haven't checked them out yet,
I do encourage you to visit freedom Chat. You can
look everything over. It gives you a bit of a
blurb about what it is that they do, the service
they provide, and you can actually download whichever version fits
your phone. Awesome thing about freedom Chat one thing signal
but with better security.

Speaker 11 (18:15):
Two.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
It gives you the ability if you are somebody who
does things like I do, or maybe you're one of
these people that does like art projects, whatever the case
may be, it gives you another option to share your
work and to communicate with people, and to be able
to do so securely. So over the last couple of
weeks or actually last couple of days, there's been this
big brew haha over young Republicans. I'm staying out of

(18:37):
that one because I have mixed emotions. I really do,
because I talked about it a bit last night, and
I honestly feel like what's happening is a bunch of
kids that have grown up and become part of the
Republican Party, that have gotten used to being called Nazis
and everything else, just embraced it and it became part
of their humor. After reading through this stuff multiple times,

(18:58):
that's my take on it. I don't know, so that's
why I'm staying out of it. But I will say this,
if they had been using freedom Chat, none of this
would have been possible. Because with freedom Chat, not only
can you set a timer that says, after so many minutes,
these messages disappear. Even if you don't want to do that,
you can flip a switch that makes it impossible for

(19:19):
anybody to get a screen capture who is part of
the conversation. It won't even you know how Snapchat says, oh,
somebody took a screen capture. No, it doesn't even do that.
When they try to take a screen capture, all they
get back as a blank screen so I'm gonna say
this again, Signalgate wouldn't have been a thing if the
Trump administration had been using freedom Chat. All right, So

(19:43):
if you thought the noise in Washington was bad, try
catching a flight this week at Harrisburg International in Pennsylvania,
the public address system suddenly blaired political rants not from TSA,
not from security, but from hackers who decided to hold
their own press conference. The group calling itself Turkey, which
cyber Islam claimed credit, though the FBI hasn't confirmed it.

(20:04):
They slipped through outdated Wi Fi networks and hijacked the
PA system for about ten minutes before officials shut it down.
The good news, no flights were diverted. The bad news apparently,
our airports are running on software old enough to vote.
And we've known that for a while, so roughly thirty
percent of Americans airports still use PA systems older than

(20:26):
twenty ten. Combine that with the shutdown sending federal IT
staff home, and you've got a perfect storm of vulnerability.
When the watchdogs are home without pay, the wolves start
testing the fences. Tulsa International says they weren't hit, but
raised monitoring levels. And here's the kicker, the FAA Academy
in Oklahoma City, the place that trains many of these

(20:47):
cybertechs who would respond to incidents like this, is partially
furloughed because of the same shutdown that caused it. We
furloughed the firewall and acted surprised that someone managed to
guess the password. It's not what the hackers said that matters.
It's the silence afterward. The system meant to inform passengers

(21:08):
went off the rails, just like one of my shows,
just like the one meant to govern them. Sorry anyway,
So yeah, all right, So now that we've gone through
the rundown, I've got some audio and video clips to
kind of go through these different various things as we go,

(21:30):
So bear with me for just a moment.

Speaker 23 (21:32):
Here.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
We're going to back up a minute and we're going
to run them in reverse. So we're gonna talk about
the bomber stuff first. There's a bit of material there,
so hang on all right. Sorry, I'm still getting So
they did an update on me on restream again, and
some things are different than they were before. So if

(21:53):
I seem like I'm taking longer to cue things up,
it's because I'm not used to the slightly different setup now.
So it's not my fault, man, It's not my fault,
all right, So I'm gonna put this on the screen first.
This was shared by Pete Hexeth under my standing authorities
as Commander achieved. This morning, the Secretary of War ordered
a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with designated

(22:15):
terrorist organization conducting narco trafficking in the US South Colm
Theater and just off the coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed
the vessel was trafficking narcotics and was associated with alistic
narco terrorist networks and was transitioning along a known dt
O route. The strike was conducted in international waters. And

(22:38):
here we have the footage, cause why wouldn't we, all right,
let me make sure this gets cued up for you guys.
And this is kind of I don't think there's any audio,
but it's still fun.

Speaker 13 (22:54):
Boom.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
I'm sorry, I might be clapping a little bit there.
I know some of the leftists and even Rand Paul
and and what's the other guy's name, Thomas Massey don't
really like this approach.

Speaker 10 (23:09):
I do.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
And before anybody yells at me about it, Congress was
the one that decided to adopt the phrasing the war
on drugs. It's not my fault. Somebody decided to finally
dig it literally, because as far as I'm concerned, it
should have been being taken literally the entire time, like
the whole time, all right, So let's keep things flowing here. So, yeah,

(23:31):
that happened in the same vein of the CIA stuff
that we have going on.

Speaker 9 (23:37):
And then.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
I don't know if we actually have images of it.
See I'm looking at the flight paths and I'm not
seeing what they're saying. So but anyway, here is President
Trump talking about some of this stuff. And apologies for

(24:03):
the Spanish subtitles, but you'll still be able to hear them.
So hang on, is that where we are? Yeah, it
should be where we.

Speaker 24 (24:10):
Are all of that, but we get something in a
way worse because they're a big purveyor of drugs, but
we have worse. What they do very well is they
send their criminals into the United States, and they send
trend dear Ragua that you know very well you're from
that as well as and they send them in by

(24:32):
the thousands, literally and these are the worst of all.

Speaker 25 (24:34):
And they emptied their prisons into the United States. They
empty their mental institutions into the United States. And because
we had a president who's low IQ, he didn't realize
what was going on. And the people that are high
IQ that surround him, but they happen to be lunatics,
radical left. They're highly intelligent, radical left lunatics. Okay, so

(24:55):
in a way that's worse than having a guy like Biden.

Speaker 24 (24:59):
But they ran the show you heard about the autopen
the person that really operated the autopan, but it was
really the people that told the person that operated the
autopan what to do. Those are the people that really
were president.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Okay, yeah, so he's got a point there, right, So
the people that were running the autopen were actually the president.
So at least we know with this guy, we know
who the president is. So we're going to backtrack a
little bit, only because I forgot I had audio huge
for this. It's my fault. I'm sleep deprived. My notes

(25:35):
aren't exactly in order today because I was throwing them
together in a hurry because I overslept. But anyway, here
is John Fetterman, you know, basically ensuring that he's going
to get a twenty twenty eight primary, and it should
be on the screen now.

Speaker 26 (25:51):
And here we go, he's doing something bad for the country,
then you go after him.

Speaker 27 (25:58):
Right, yeah, well it's like that's why, that's why shutting
the government is really what the Democratic Party wants to do.
And I follow country then party, and it's the wrong
thing for the country in a period of chaos. I
refuse to vote to shut our government down. I absolutely
would love to have I I would love to have

(26:22):
a conversation about extending the tax credits for healthcare. Absolutely,
but I would remind everybody too, this was designed by
the Democratic Party to expire at the end of the year.
This is not something taken from by the Republicans. That's
they were designed to expire. Now, let's have a conversation
to extend it and not shut our government down, and

(26:44):
let's continue to help.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Has already agreed to that, Well, I mean that you
know that.

Speaker 27 (26:50):
Well, for me, I do believe, I do believe a
leader thun is an honorable man, and I do believe. Well,
you're not gonna lie. I mean, you can't guarantee any outcome.
But what I'm what I'm saying it that's talking about
what's wrong for the country. I can't vote for a thing.
I can't vote to shutting our government down.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
All right, So we're gonna when we come back from
the break, we're gonna be talking about this whole Leader
Thoon agreeing to talk about these ACA extensions because betterman
on the head, and we're gonna get into that on
the other side of this break. My name is Rick Robinson.
You are listening Shoe America Off the Rails. We'll be
right back. I'm sorry you're listening to the Rick Robinson Show.

Speaker 8 (27:35):
That one.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
The other one was last night? Did I mention I'm
sleep deprived and not awake. We'll be Hello, friends, give
a moment so that we may discuss our Lord and

five week Since the first is first of Novembers, a Saturday,
We've decided to extend it by extend Spooky Season by

(34:21):
one day, so that will be our fifth and final
episode for Cryptids this year. Also because it is Spooky
season and its fall, like to talk to you about
the kal Arm Radio Players. Calera Radio Players was a
group that was originally created by none other than Mickey Blowtorch.
And the funny thing is this was and this happened
while I was going through my divorce and near breakdown

(34:44):
and all the other stuff that you guys have heard
about a million times. But the funny thing is I
had always I don't think I ever even told anybody
I'd always wanted to get to the point where kaal
Arm Radio had our own version of like the old school,
you know, forties and fifties radio plays like Vincent Price playing.
I think it was wasn't in Vincent Price that played
the shadow. I think I think I could be mixing,

(35:06):
but I know he was in one and I remember
listening to that when I was a kid, and to me,
radio was kind of like a book, but next level
because it instead of you having the pictures in front
of you, your mind had to create them. So I
always liked that aspect of it, and it was something
that I always wanted to be able to do. And

(35:27):
when I when I finally decided I was ready to
come back to doing this stuff and trying to figure
it all out again and you know, starting to put
one foot back in front of the other again, I
realized that while I was away, they started the very
thing that I had always wanted to do, and it
became the kale Arm Radio Players. Now it's been a
hit and miss thing because this is a labor of
love for almost every single one of us to do this,

(35:49):
and sometimes life gets in the way. However, this year
we do in fact have a new spooky season play.
It's the Day of the Year Stood Still and Mickey
Blowtorch is rejoining the crew year, So I do hope
you guys join us for that. That is a week
from tomorrow eight thirty pm Eastern, otherwise known as Aggie
Time right here live on KLAUR Radio. So instead of

(36:11):
he said, she said, next week we will have the
Day the Earth Stood Still and also a bit of
a cast after party afterwards to hang out with the
folks in the chat. So that was a bit longer
of a read than I meant to give it, but
it's it deserves it, so that's okay, all right, So
back into the programming. So before we went to break,

(36:32):
we started talking about the fact that Leader Thune is
seriously giving consideration to a vote on extending the ACA subsidies.
Into that I say, and I bet you guys know what,
it's going to be hell to the naw because no, no,
the reason they put these things on a sunset clause

(36:53):
in the first place.

Speaker 28 (36:54):
Was because they knew they'd never get them voted for otherwise.
That's it, that's all, and they knew it, so that's
why they did what they did. That's why they put
them on. They put them on a sunset. This isn't
Republicans taking anything away. This is giving the Democrats exactly
what they agreed to. But the problem is if these

(37:15):
things go away, you're going to find.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Out exactly how unaffordable the affordable character really is because
they used COVID as an excuse to buffer it. Because
it is out of control. It has been out of
control since its inception. This thing has been active since
twenty ten, fourteen, but fifteen years later and you can't

(37:37):
afford anything. Everybody's premiums have gone up three hundred percent
since twenty ten. That's insane, not to mention the extra
red tape and everything else that comes from. And I've
told you about this before. I used to work for
the University of Oklahoma through contract for the Department of
Human Services. I was talking to people on the phone

(37:59):
and training people how to talk to people on the phone,
and doing escalations for people that were talking to people
on the phone. And half the time when I was
doing escalat I'm like, I'm sorry, we can't discuss that
that's protected by hippo on a child suppoard call. Explain
that one to me. Explain exactly how our federal government

(38:23):
managed to get its tendrils into the last real thing
it didn't have a whole bunch of tendrils in, which
was our healthcare. What if I told you, ladies and gentlemen,
that the Affordable Care Act was designed to implode been
telling you that since the day before it was passed.

(38:43):
This was the framework to get us to socialized medicine.
The Democrats know you're not ready for that yet, unless,
of course, you're in New York City apparently, So they
keep doing everything they can to kick the can down
the road long enough to make sure that when whenever
everybody gets dependent on this thing, because that's what they want,

(39:06):
they're gonna rug pull and then they're gonna have to
have the government scoop in and pick up the pieces. Well,
we really don't have a choice anymore. We're gonna have
to have the government controlling healthcare now because the insurance
industry has collapsed. Your services are not happening. This has
been the plan all along. We told you this was

(39:29):
the plan all along. And this is one of the
reasons why I got so mad at the Republicans, because
the Republicans, after it got passed, their entire running thing
was if you re elect us, we will make this
monstrosity go away. And then the problem is we did,
and then they said, well, we're gonna make it go away,
but we're gonna put something better in his place. What

(39:51):
did you just say to me? Excuse me, you did
what to who? For how many jelly donuts? Because that's
not what you told us when we've voted for you
you said you're going to repeal it, and then the
second y'all got sworn in, it changed to repeal and replace.
And you wonder why nobody trusts you. You wonder why
we keep sending an outsider like Trump. And and I

(40:14):
know he doesn't really count as an outsider anymore because
he's been in the political game for a decade, but
he still punches you guys in the nose almost as
often as he punches the other side of the nose.
And right now, that's fine with a lot of us,
because y'all deserve to get punched in the nose. I'll
be honest, y'all deserve to be punched a few degrees
south from there too, But that's okay, that's okay. But

(40:39):
so here we are, and we're stuck yet again again,
day sixteen of the shutdown, and we're still living in
crazy town. Now you've got apparently, according to everything that
I'm seeing a total meltdown in the Senate last night.
And I'm sorry I was working so late because I
missed it. I wondered to do just the article. I have,
have a clip of it. That's my question. Let me

(40:59):
find out, because there's lots of stuff in there, but
it doesn't seem like it's loading quite right. So let
me see if there might not be any eclipse of
the fun while we're continuing to talk here, and I'll
go check over on another sources. What else we got
going on? Sorry, wait a minute, So what happened? Okay,

(41:52):
So this is a live read. So if I seem confused,
it's probably because I am.

Speaker 5 (41:58):
So.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
Apparently, the FBI went to Beck's home and we're going
to find out what happened there. So President Donald Trump
designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization of the wake
of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk's assassination bio radical assassin,
a radical assassin who allegedly etched Antifa slogans into his
bullet casings. In the interest of obliging Trump and finally

(42:21):
destroying Antifa, the Justice Department and the FBI have evidently
appealed to the expertise of some of those Americans who
chronicled Antifa terrorists crimes, analyzed their tactics, and identified their
supporters while authorities previously set on their hands. Antifa is
an anarco communist militant group that has long threatened lives
and property throughout the Western world. In a show that

(42:43):
debuted on October eighth, title Unmasking Antifa, the Dark Truth
behind its well funded network, Plays Media co founder Glenn
Beck took a deep dive shattering the myth that Antifa
is leaderless and decentralized. We analyzed the Antifa network, Becks
said with regard to his show last week, and went
from the street thugs to the support groups, eventually to

(43:03):
the funding. Beck added to say the FBI was interested
in this might be an understatement. Just days after the
show's initial broadcast, Beck received a knock on the door
from the actual FBI. I have to admit I was like,
I was scared of where this was going. But that's okay.
So let's just say the FBI is turning over every
single stone, continued Beck. It is so clear to me

(43:25):
that they are exposing all angles of this, and they
are talking to anyone and everyone they can and that
can give them any any kind of information. How do
I know? He then immediately began to explain why he
is confident that the federal authorities are serious about anti
for this time. Beck indicated that he was informed any
phone call Saturday that FBI Director Cashptel wanted to send

(43:46):
some agents over to speak with him. All Right, so
I have not watched this yet, but I probably will
later today. So I'm gonna go ahead and share this
out for anybody else who wants to check it out.
There is a clip from it, so we're gonna play that.
Hang on, this is interesting, and I actually have to

(44:09):
come in the FBI a little bit for using unconventional
sourcing to get things done. They have been doing some
amazing stuff. I'm not even as much as I am
kind of wishy washy on Pam Bondy. There's a lot
of stuff the FBI is doing that's absolutely amazing. And
I know she's she's kind of the upper echelon from there,

(44:30):
but still she still gets some of the credit. All Right,
here we go.

Speaker 29 (44:34):
Last week I did a TV show that apparently got
the FBI's attention. The topic was was initial investigation a
jumping off point, shattering the myth that in TIFA just
you know, it's it's it's just leaderless and decentralized. H

(44:55):
We thought, no, it's really not. So we dove in
headfirst and we analyzed the the ANTIFA network and we
went from the street thugs to the support groups eventually
to the funding. Okay, to say the FBI was interested
in this might be an understatement. Let's just say the

(45:16):
FBI is turning over every single stone. It is so
clear to me that they are exploring all angles of
this and they are talking to anyone and everyone that
can give them any kind of information.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
How do I know?

Speaker 29 (45:34):
Saturday, I get a phone call the director would like
to send over some agents to speak to you, Glennon.
And I'm like, the direct FBI agents, Yes, you said
some things that they need to talk to you about.
And I'm like, well, good things are pat you know
they'll be over. So they sat in my living Three

(45:57):
agents set in my living room on Saturday afternoon for
almost two hours, and I immediately called Jason. I'm like, Jason,
you're the Researcher's your fault. I'm gonna throw you under
the bus. You better cut your put over here. So
Jason was there, and my wife and Jason and I
sat there and it was surreal. At one point I
talked to him for about fifteen minutes, just going over

(46:19):
the Tides Foundation and saying, if you understand Tide you'll
understand how difficult your job is going to be. And
this is information that I first gave on Fox years ago.
Let me just say this, Finally we have an administration
and an FBI director that is willing to go in deep,

(46:40):
not surface, but deep. I can only imagine what we
could have avoided if anyone in an administration would have
done this in twenty eleven. But if I were in
that imaginary group of Antifa, which by the way, has
imaginary leaders leaving the country maybe two imaginary countries outside

(47:02):
of the US right now, I would be very concerned
if I were a part of anything that was sending
money their way or assistance their way.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
I don't know, I might be a little.

Speaker 29 (47:14):
Concerned because the FBI is dead ass serious. Thank you,
thank you, thank you, Donald Trump, Cash Betel, and all
of the agents at the FBI.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
All right, So why is this a big deal? I
would like to point something out, you know, he said,
this is stuff that I've put out, that I put
out on Fox News years ago. For those of you
who don't remember, Glenn Beck was on Fox News from
January nineteen, two thousand and nine, to June thirtieth, twenty eleven.
So just a little bit over two years. So we're
talking about somewhere between seventeen to fourteen years ago. If

(47:59):
I'm doing the math rate, sixteen to fourteen years ago.
So let's just split the difference and say fifteen years ago.
He talked about the Tides Foundation on Fox News. The

(48:22):
FBI is finally listening. If you need any more proof
that this administration is doing things differently than any other
administration before it, even Trump version one point zero, then
all you really need to do is look at that.
When they're finally taking people serious who the mainstream media

(48:43):
has laughed at because of their ability to do research
and their ability to get to the bottom of things.
This shows you exactly where we are. This means we
have an administration who's tired of putting up with everybody's stuff.
This means we have an administration who understand that Antifa
is in fact and are in fact the fascists. Nobody really,

(49:07):
I mean, they're still using the same symbols for the
group that arose that tried to counter Nazi Germany. Inside Germany,
they're still using the same symbols. The problem with them
using the same symbols is this means that they are
likely aligning themselves with that group. And guess what they

(49:27):
were the opposite of fascists. They were communists. This is
why fascism is always viewed as a right leaning philosophy,
because communism is considered the far left philosophy. The problem
is that I've talked about this before. When you go
too far one way or the other, you wind up
around on the other side and you have right here.

(49:48):
So what happens, Sorry, I know I'm covering my mic
right now, but what happens when you have this going
on is you have fascism, communism. Fascism communism. They are
two sides of the same coin. They're not right leaning
or left leaning. They're they're the They're the same philosophy

(50:08):
with different trappings, because when you go too far to
one extreme or the other, you wind up in the
same place. The only difference is kind of like we're
talking about the difference between coke and pepsi here, folks.
That is how minute the differences are between actual true
fascism and true communism. Is the differences between coke and pepsi.

(50:30):
They're basically the same product, they're in a different colored
wrapper or can and they taste just slightly different depending
on the ingredients that are sprinkled in. But it's the
same damn concept. Control through fear, control through actually taking
all choices away from you, control by limiting your freedoms.

(50:52):
They're the same thing. And I'm tired of the fact
that in this country we continue, well fascism is right leaning.
No it's not. No, it's not. But you know why
they want you to think that it is, because then

(51:13):
they can paint one side of the country as actual
terrible people because to that group, communism is fine. Communism
has never really been tried. If we ever actually used
it and used it properly, we would find utopia, which

(51:34):
I have to admit I wish was true. If we
could all just do the things that we love to
do and still have our needs met, that would be
absolutely amazing. I would sign up for that tomorrow if
I thought it would work. But it doesn't. It can't

(51:54):
because the problem that you have is once you start
being in a com what is basically a commune, That's
where the word communism comes from. It's a group of
people to come together and work together for the common
good within a group, and everybody does their own parts,
and everybody does their share, and YadA YadA, YadA, blah
blah blah. Except what happens when people get tired of

(52:19):
having to do all these things, or what happens when
they realize that their neighbors aren't working as hard as
they are. What happens when they realize some of their
neighbors aren't working at all? The problem with communism. The
problem with communism is this. When it starts, you've got
a bunch of people outside the wagon pulling it, so
everybody's pulling in the right direction. Everything seems like it's

(52:40):
going on a honky dory. You've got just a few
people inside the wagon, so everybody's pulling. The problem is
the further you go, the more tired of everybody gets,
so eventually more and more people start hopping into the wagon.
As more and more people start hopping into the wagon,
the people that are left outside of the wagon are
doing everything they can to pull it, and they're having
to pull harder, and they're pulling harder, and it's taking longer,
and it's making them more tired, and eventually more and

(53:01):
more people hop into the wagon. Why am I using
that analogy, because social security is communism. It's in the
name social socialism, communism about that far apart in the
grand scheme of things. And what's happening now we have

(53:22):
more people in the wagon than we have pulling the wagon.
And it's funny because even Ze brought this up last night.
Everybody's mad because the government keeps talking about having to
extend retirement. As long as we are using this communist
system to try to take care of our elderly people,
we're going to continue to have to increase the retirement
age because we're not using capitalism to its full benefit.

(53:48):
Because they will we're trying. So here's how they sold
it though. We're gonna make it easy for you. We're
gonna take the money out of your check and that way,
when you need it, you'll have it. But they don't
invest it. They don't. They don't well I don't know
if they do or not. It would make more sense
if they did, but they don't. They just funneled them.
Because remember this was all supposed to be in a

(54:08):
lock box, but now it just gets funneled back into
the general fund and use for whatever they want. And
hopefully they're hope they're gambling that you're gonna die before
you ever need the money. That's funny because I was
actually about to make that point at the top of
the hour, Basy, but we'll tease it now because yeah,

(54:29):
I have a feeling this one made. It may actually
be one of the longest shutdowns, if not the longest
shutdown in history, especially after what we talked about earlier
in the hour with the total meltdown of the Democratic
Party on c SPAN last night. Really sad I was
working late because I would have loved to have seen that.
I'm gonna have to go back and look for clips
for tomorrow's show because I'm hearing rumblings of just how

(54:52):
bad it was. I mean, there was no caning sadly,
but you know anyway, But yeah, no, I mean, look,
the simple fact of the matter is it is we
got sold a bill of goods when it came to
Social Security. They basically we're gonna put it on autopilot.
We're gonna take care of it for you, when in reality,

(55:12):
if they had just given us all the money that
they planned on taking back from us and letting us
invest it, all of us could have been retired millionaires
by the time it was time to retire. But here's
the problem with all of that. They don't want you
self sufficient. They need you under their control because if

(55:41):
you're under their control, they can get what they need
from you. There's a reason when this government was first
founded that the only people that were allowed to vote
were people that were property owners because they had skin
in the game. We now have way too many people
that are in side the wagon voting to make life

(56:02):
easier for the people inside the wagon, thinking that they
have a bottomless paycheck to pull from and they do not.
This has become a huge problem in this country, and
it's been a problem pretty much since its inception because
this happens all the time. And this is when this
is when we start getting into the greed versus risk
versus reward part of capitalism, because there are people that

(56:25):
take advantage of the capitalistic system, and it's normally the
folks that manage to get their hooks into a government
honeypot like the railroads or colleges. Because what did they
do as soon as the government said we're going to
we're gonna help you make college more affordable. Oh cool,
that means we can start making people take more classes then,
and it basically became grades thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen

(56:50):
instead of a specialized education. College used to be specifically,
by the time you got out of high school, you
knew what you wanted to do with your life. You
were reasonably educating enough to be able to move into
a college setting and then focus specifically on whatever career
path you were taking within that college setting. We don't
do that anymore because we can't. Eighth graders can't read

(57:13):
or do math. Fourth graders barely can read and do math.
This is why we have so many college courses now
for remedial stuff, because we have failed our children. But again,
we have taken the communist approach to education. We've taken
the communist approached education. We've taken the communist aproach to
our retirement. And both of them are failing, miserably, miserably,

(57:43):
all right, So believe it or not, ladies and gentlemen,
we are up against it. So we're gonna have to
take a break. Our one is pretty much in the books,
our two still to come. Oh, we've still got so
many things to talk about. So I hope you will
hang out with us. And if you again, if you're

that was actually a collaboration between myself and Sack. He
had Sean over at a shr Media So I wrote
the lyrics. Chad Gpt helped me dial it in with

(01:09:37):
Souno to get the sound we were looking for, and
then so I sent it over to him like I'm
still trying to figure out this video stuff, but you
want to help. Then he did, and that's what that was. Anyway. Yeah,
you guys can think a listener for that. They took
care of that for me. I don't know if they

(01:09:57):
want to be I don't know if they want me
to say who they are. So if they're listening, they
can feel free to chime in if they want. But anyway,
so yeah, that was a listener that sent me that.
So for those of you who don't know, Raptor was
just commenting on the cap on the microphone that actually
has our branding on it. Now, that was actually sent
to me by a listener.

Speaker 13 (01:10:20):
But yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
Anyway, So yeah, I've been having a little bit of fun.
I actually started using for especially for the Sunday Show.
I started having CHATZBT Andsuno helped me put together branded
music for the different segments for the Sunday Show. Now,
last night's episode, if you missed it, was just a
Bible study. I haven't gotten it out yet. So what
we've decided to do for Kingdom and Country, there's actually

(01:10:41):
two phases. There's the regular weekly Sunday show, which is
usually tied to a theme of some sort, usually runs three, four,
sometimes five episodes. But then because of our scheduling, I
decided this since Inquiries kind of more of an intellectual show,
I thought a faith balance every other week would be
a good idea. So instead of making it part of

(01:11:03):
the theme on every other Wednesday night, because it just
throws the counts off, and after, you know, help having
chat GBT in a couple other programs help me start
getting a newsletter put together for that particular brand, I
came up with the idea of just doing Wednesday Night
Bible Study twice a month. So that'll be happening seven
pm Eastern Time every other Wednesday night right here live

(01:11:25):
on Calor and Radio. Our first launch of that was
last night. I haven't gotten everything finalized as far as
edits yet, so those will go out on the podcatchers,
and the newsletter that accompanies it will go out at
some point later today along with everything else. Oh, I know,
but we get better counts from the other stuff to

(01:11:46):
show anyway. Yeah, at some point I may actually start
pulling down the video replaced to force everybody to go
over to the audio ones, because we make money off
the audio ones. We really don't make money off the
video ones yet. I haven't decided if I'm going to
be that cruel or not, or at least pull them
off at X, because X doesn't have any monetization potential anyway,

(01:12:06):
and I've been doing them so I know this isn't
And we'll get back into the show topic itself in
a minute, because I'm off on a tangent. But one
of the things that I figured out because I've been
looking at X's monetization and compared to everybody else's monetization,
they don't pay nothing. So if you manage to get
a shorter something to blow up on TikTok and you

(01:12:27):
get a million impressions, you get six hundred dollars.

Speaker 10 (01:12:32):
Know what?

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
You get for five million impressions from X. Apparently I
don't know because I've never hit the number, but apparently
it's like eight dollars and fifty cents for every five
million impressions. Again, I don't know if that's true or not,
but if it is, that's terrible. That's terrible. But anyway,
all right, so back into the actual show itself. Sorry,

(01:12:54):
I get fell dum a rabbit hole there for a second. Okay,
so here we go. Oh, I'm trying to get back
into my notes. Apparently I went down too far. All right,
So this this broke yesterday. Actually I can't really say

(01:13:18):
broke because it was announced by the President, but Operations
Summer Heat was discussed yesterday by the President of the
United States. So we're gonna shift gears and so our one.
We mainly been talking about gridlock Senate in decision from
the Democrats, you know, throwing tables and chairs and oh my,

(01:13:39):
not really, but from what I've heard, it was pretty
dan closed for the Senate.

Speaker 33 (01:13:45):
So.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
According to the President, the Bureau otherwise it was a FB.
I just announced the results of Operation Summer Heat, which
was a nationwide crackdown that led to over eight thousand,
six hundred arrests, one hundred guns off the streets, and
one hundred and eighty seven victims of human trafficking rescued.
I'm gonna say those numbers again. Eight thousand, six hundred

(01:14:09):
arrests nationwide, nine hundred guns most likely obtained illegally, might
would be my guess off the streets, and one hundred
and eighty seven human trafficking victims rescued. And guess what
it touched here in Oklahoma too. A total of ninety
two arrest violent offenders, gang members, traffickers, the kind of
people who make neighborhoods unsafe here in Oklahoma. FBI Director

(01:14:36):
Cash Battel called it a major disruption of organized crime
and cartel pipelines. The operation ran all summer June through
September and involved the DEA, ATF, local pds, and state
tasks forced. The numbers are staggering. Forty seven million dollars
in asset seized, twenty six tons of narcotics pulled, and
hundreds of illegal weapons recovered. Tulsa ped helped take down

(01:14:58):
a multi gang trafficking sell in Oklahoma's agents dismantled the
human smuggling ring. And rescued three victims. Special Agent Edward
Gray put it plainly, Washington, gridlock doesn't stop bullets. Our
job is to make sure and it's in people don't
have to dodge them. And that's the story that nobody
else is really telling. And it took the President of

(01:15:19):
the United States to start discussing it because all of
the politicians in Washington, DC are currently posturing. And again,
Chuck Schumer is holding the government hostage for one point
four trillion dollars. So while Congress is fighting with one
another and governments are and the government is effectively shut down,

(01:15:40):
which again, dah you tell me if you care, I
kind of don't. As BZ pointed out earlier in the program.
In the chat, this may wind up being the longest
government shut down in history. But is it really shut down?
Is my question. So the agents, the deputies, the cops
on the meet, they're out there doing their job while

(01:16:01):
Washington argues about how to define what their job actually is.
If Congress ran like the FBI, they'd have passed a
budget in a week. This operation shows what accountability looks
like when it isn't filtered through politics, just professionals doing
their job. And protecting Americans. So maybe instead of another

(01:16:22):
hearing or another task force, Congress should take a field
trip to Tulsa and see what getting results actually looks like.
I'm down for that. I'm down for that. But look, dude,
this summer heat stuff is a huge deal. All right,

(01:16:49):
So we got to talk about this back into the
realm of the shutdown, because there's been another update. This
just came out like within the last several minutes, surprising
no one. A federal judge has blocked Trump's administration's reduction
and forced layoffs during shutdown. So stop me if you've
heard this one before. A federal judge has issued an

(01:17:09):
order blocking the Trump administration from implementing one of its policies.
I know, shocking, it's amazing anyway. So yeah, so's there's
snark involved here, both by the author and by me,
because holy crap. Once again, a district judge has entered
a temporary restraining order stopping the administration from preceding in

(01:17:32):
response to current got to the current government shutdown. This
is from San Francisco through the Associated Press. A federal
judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's administration from
firing workers during the government shutdown, saying the cuts appeared
to be politically motivated and were being carried out without
much thought. US District Court Judge Susan Ilston in San

(01:17:55):
Francisco repeatedly pressed the assistant US attorney to explain the
administration drationale for the more than forty one hundred layoffs
that started going out Friday, even though Furthered workers cannot
access the work emails and there are no human resources
specialists to assist with next steps. Oh wait, let me

(01:18:16):
grab my hanky for these people. Oh they can't even
get into their emails now they know they've been Furthered
a limit. I don't care. Sorry, maybe that makes me
a dick, but I just don't care. According to the judge,

(01:18:37):
it's very much ready forire aim and on most of
these programs, and it is human costs. It is human
costs that cannot be tolerated. She granted a temporary restraining
order blocking the job cuts, saying she believes the evidence
would ultimately show the cuts we're illegal and in excess
of authority. So we kind of got a hand to

(01:19:01):
her about the You know, it's a human cause that
can't be tolerated. At least, she's acknowledging the non legal
standards she's applying. If I don't like it, it shall
not stand. If Ilston's name sounds vaguely familiar, it's probably
because she's also the same judge who blocked an executive
order aimed at reorganizing twenty federalations. He's including the Department

(01:19:25):
of State, Treasury and Veterans Affairs, as well as the
Department of Government Efficiency back in May. That case already
made it up to the Cerame Court once and Garner
to stay in July. There are slightly these are slightly
different issues, though, and though they are sort of related,
and they are still in play here now. This order,

(01:19:45):
as noted, is a temporary restraining order rather than a
preliminary injunction. Ilston has set the schedule for that next
step with a hearing on October twenty eighth, so the
administration may hold off on appealing until she enters the
inevitable injunction. Either way, we're just in the early stages
of this one, so we'll continue to watch it unfold.
And of course that you know of anything that we

(01:20:07):
find here at Kaylin Radio and also through Red State
or down Hall or anybody else that man just to
put something out.

Speaker 33 (01:20:13):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:20:13):
The article that I was pulling from was written by
Susie Moore, So we're going to put that out on
the feed here in just a moment for anybody that
wants to follow along with that, either later or whatever.
But yeah, surprising absolutely no one. Another judge says, hey, no,
you can't do that. Funny because right now is about
the only time he could actually legally do that, And

(01:20:36):
I think it will come to pass that that is
true again eventually, but who knows. All Right, So we
touched on this a little bit earlier, but we're going
to go into a little bit more detail right now.
Did did I? Did I mention that John Fetterman's facing

(01:20:57):
a little bit of ire from his own folks? Well,
can we get into that. I do want to talk
to you about our friends over at Freedom Chat again.
You may have been seeing this scandal with the young Republicans.
All of this could have been avoided, especially since I'm
pretty sure most of it was sarcasm. After these kids
grew up being called Nazis most of their lives by
everybody and everything. If they had just used Freedom Chat,

(01:21:18):
no screen captures would have been possible. They could have
even said messages to self destruct. Again. Check out our
friends over at freedom chat dot com. You can go
to their website. It gives you a brief rundown of
everything that they do and even gives you the links
you can click on to download the app appropriate to
your brand of phone, and I do encourage you to
check it out. If you decide to check it out,
go find us. We are there a k alarm radio

(01:21:40):
The Rick Robinson Show is there. I believe our friends
over at shr Media are there too, so make sure
you go check them out as well. But yeah, so
we got it. So back to this. So earlier this week,
John Fetterman made a small poignant gesture on his x
account up he unpinned a nearly two year old tweet
showing a showing the display of Israeli hostage posters outside

(01:22:02):
is sent An office. He vowed to keep the posters
up and the tweet pinned to the top of his
account until every hostage returned home. At last, they were
all home, although not all of the bodies of the
deceased hostages have been returned, so the tweet was able
to go on its verry little way, and here is
the post where he was discussing that very thing, and

(01:22:25):
we're gonna love that run here in just a second.
So hang on. This was the first time that I
realized that I was either wrong about this man or

(01:22:47):
the stroke has changed something within this man anyway, all right,
so hang on, BT's dropping me a link. Let me
see what that is about. Okay, So yeah, we'll get

(01:23:14):
into this in a second. Thanks BZ. Actually that's some
of that already, but you're giving me an additional source,
so we'll use that video in a minute. But yeah,
so this is kind of this that we just talked about.
This bit right here is kind of when I realized
that I might have been slightly wrong about Fretterman. I

(01:23:35):
don't know if it was maybe the stroke rewired his brain,
or if maybe he's been more common since than he
was given credit for from the beginning. I don't know
the answer to that question. What I do know is this,
the man's in trouble. His party is about to disavow
him because not only has he been on the side

(01:23:57):
of Israel and unabashedly so, he's now standing against his
own party in the shutdown so Senator Fetterman was possibly
the strongest pro Israel voice from the Democratic Party over
the last few years. He regularly met with the families
of the hostages and happily gave the stink eye to promos.
I love that line. Happily gave the stink guy to

(01:24:18):
Prolomouse protesters when they would try to disrupt his life.
Dare we say his leadership on this issue warmed the
hearts of many conservatives. But of course there's always a
political cost to be paid when you lead on an issue,
particularly when your own party didn't ask you to lead
on it. And it looks like Fetterman is about to
find out what his party thinks of his independent yet

(01:24:40):
decidedly still very left his voice. Pennsylvania Democrats are reportedly
already hard at work on a plan to prevent his
re election in twenty twenty eight by running several state
heavyweights against him in the primary. So this is from
Holly otter Man on x scoop. The twenty twenty eight
m primary to knockout John Fetterman is already underway. Are

(01:25:00):
openly contemplating running against him or keeping the door open
to a Senate bid in the events he retires, would
be challengers a bashing Fetterman and each other. According to
a Thursday report in Axios, Democrats are active and in
active recruitment mode in their efforts to take out Fetterman.
Potential Democratic challengers are already bashing Fetterman and each other

(01:25:24):
years ahead of schedule. Some Democratic officials are openly contemplating
running against Fetterman or keeping the door open to a
Senate bid in the event he retires. Some names being
banged about to take on Fetterman in the primary include
current Reps Brendan Boyle and Chris Deluzio, and former Rep.
Connor Lamb. So what exactly has Fetterman done to encourage

(01:25:46):
parties wrath? So it's not just the pro's rail stance. Remember,
he's also standing with the Republicans in regards to the
shutdown and saying that he doesn't believe the shutdown is
a good idea and he believes them when he says
that he will bring the extensions for those text those
subsidies to a vote and Betterman himself doesn't seem one

(01:26:12):
bit worried about primary challenges, though, telling Axios to enjoy
your clickbait and that's the common story. Okay. Yeah, And
basically when they asked him if he wanted to respond
or give any type of a follow up, he said,
please do not be contacting me. Wasn't his exact words
close enough? All right? So let's see. So, in case

(01:26:50):
you missed it last night, I don't have the audio
clips stored up anymore. But Nancy Pelosi was confronted about
the fact that there, I guess, is a new January
sixth the underway, and whether or not are about to
be underway, and whether or not she was afraid that
she would wind up facing accountability for the fact that
she didn't allow the National Guard at the Capitol because

(01:27:11):
remember it was actually her at the time, and she
blew up. Actually highlight, I do have the audio of
her the video for blowing up. Hang on, It's not
a very long clip, but it's a fun one. I
enjoy being able to trash gam game whenever possible.

Speaker 34 (01:27:32):
So here we go, Congresszonan Pelosi, are you at all
concerned that the new January.

Speaker 1 (01:27:37):
Sixth committee will find you liable?

Speaker 6 (01:27:39):
To that day?

Speaker 12 (01:27:39):
Right here?

Speaker 6 (01:27:40):
Are you at all concerned about the new January sixth
committee finding you liable?

Speaker 20 (01:27:44):
For that day.

Speaker 1 (01:27:46):
Why did you refuse the National Guard on January sixth?

Speaker 9 (01:27:50):
Shut up?

Speaker 31 (01:27:52):
I did not refuse the national Guard.

Speaker 20 (01:27:53):
The President didn't send it.

Speaker 6 (01:27:55):
Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as
if you're as serious journal America and people want to
know we still have questions?

Speaker 1 (01:28:02):
Thank you? Was it me or that it seemed like
her denters were about to fall out? Oh dude, the
finger pointing, I was just waiting for it to start
thumping her finger in her chest.

Speaker 13 (01:28:20):
But yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (01:28:26):
You know that actually could be a valid point. So Besy,
in response to Fetterman put this in the chat. I
think the stroke and medical efforts made him realize his
own mortality and he came to see the Democrats in
a different light. So yeah, oh I know, Yeah, I'm
busy in the chat. The US Capitol Police chief sunned

(01:28:52):
already out of her years ago. The receipts are on
The receipts are on the internet for anyone to see. Hell,
we've got her in her own words on a video. Okay,
you're saying that she was the one that dropped the ball,
so I don't really know what she expects to happen
now that you know, they have a January sixth committee
actually interested in finding the truth as to why all

(01:29:12):
of that was allowed to happen in the way that
it did. And I'm gonna say this again, for anybody
on our side who broke the law and actually did
things that they shouldn't have done, I'm fine with him
facing some form of consequences. But this this whole thing
that they did the first time, especially now that we're
finding out that there were all kinds of FBI assets
embedded in the crowd, and for anybody, well they only

(01:29:34):
did not know they didn't have that, there would have
been no no that didn't that didn't happen after it started.
That was before. And for everybody who's like calling Donald
Trump crazy because he's calling it Biden's FBI, it still
technically was Democrat FBI. You know how we know we
finally figured out who the deep state were. We've talked
about that on this very show before. We know who

(01:29:56):
the deep state were. You remember those specially classified mid
level employee He's the ones that were almost impossible to fire.
And when Donald Trump uncovered them, they were like, you know,
it's going to be to fire these people. They've been
in transfer so long. That is, in fact the deep state.
Those were the people who kept talking to the people
under them and saying, just pay attention to your supervisors
and ignore the the big orange bad man in the

(01:30:18):
White House, and we're going to do what we always do.
And that has come to light more often than not.
And we've been finding it in every single level and
layer of federal governance. And that is why, even though
he didn't word it very well, he's been able to
make the point that it was a democratic controlled FBI

(01:30:39):
that put assets in the field on January sixth. Again,
you want to know how I know, because there's no
other explanation as to why people got into areas of
the capital that require both key card and code access
to be able to get in anyway. Yeah, the deep

(01:31:07):
state has in fact basically become the fourth branch of government.
No to self, never drink while orchestrating an insurrection. H
that's good advice. That's good advice. Although wouldn't drinkage make
it more fun? All right? So it looks like House

(01:31:31):
Democrats are stepping on another rake again. We're going to
get into that. Let's see where we are, all right,
So we'll get into that on the other side of
the break again. I know I'm playing it a lot,
but I don't have a lot of other original music
to play yet. We're working on that, and I am

(01:31:54):
eventually going to start running this stuff over on Sean's channel.
So that's why I'm trying to clean up all the
stuff so I don't keep having this same him all
the licensing information every time they get in trouble for
me playing stuff. So anyway, my name is Rick Rabinson.
This is my show Music Breaking. Coming on the other side,
we'll get into the Democrats finding all the raps with

(01:32:15):
their faces yet again. Stay tuned.

Speaker 4 (01:32:40):
They shut them lives down here in the sitting to
see the systems on the rooms.

Speaker 5 (01:32:45):
Wow, the same ans and broken. Hold your pee check
en year old horse.

Speaker 6 (01:32:51):
They'll steal your fair sealer, call your sacrifice rely whatever
drivel truibly noother line of belief.

Speaker 2 (01:33:01):
Freedom is a free.

Speaker 6 (01:33:03):
Has called him a load, And the fire stone and
the prices down tall and the taproom kneel and go on.

Speaker 9 (01:33:12):
Then every promise tags they ever bring them live.

Speaker 10 (01:33:19):
Shame a horse of those still calls freedom freedom, miss
arm free.

Speaker 6 (01:33:39):
They bring from rblem towers while they're mans.

Speaker 2 (01:33:43):
You're probably at the women, flying man out.

Speaker 6 (01:33:46):
Of rules and calling me a smart So they'll bring
your horses, danger, help mid your fans, greed.

Speaker 7 (01:33:55):
But freedom don't need from mission. It's just needs man bleed, freedoms, Freeze.

Speaker 6 (01:34:02):
That's called him blood and fire, Sis, little prize fan
and all and the Jery deal.

Speaker 9 (01:34:10):
And they got red promise and say we read they
don't never.

Speaker 13 (01:34:18):
Say on to still leave cause.

Speaker 7 (01:34:22):
Freedom, Freedom, Mason Freeze, Freedomison.

Speaker 8 (01:34:33):
Free It's written in red on history Freeze page one
into the Tyrant and the cowards of the age.

Speaker 14 (01:34:44):
They can bury us in silence, but the true still screams.

Speaker 13 (01:34:53):
Freedom is on free.

Speaker 1 (01:35:48):
Welcome back in Tony Leggy Lovenson's show had to be done.
You're not in the chat. You won't get the joke.
It's not my fault. Hang out in the chat. Welcome
back into the program, ladies and gentlemen. We are nearly
done with the show. We've got one more segment, but
we do have, thanks to be Z one of the
clips that I was looking for that I couldn't find today,
which was a bit so you're when all this started

(01:36:09):
to shut down, like you know, oh, sixteen days ago
and c SPAN was playing the clips of the phone
callers from the Angry ang damn it. Now I'm doing
the Chinese inflection and everything I tried to see angry
and it came out angly. The the angry Republicans or
in this case, the angry Republicans. Sorry, I'm just gonna

(01:36:32):
keep going with that joke for the last few minutes
of the show. Probably not, I'll stop at a minute.
But so the worm has turned, ladies and gentlemen. This
was on CNN just last night. I believe you ready,
you're ready, Ready, here we go.

Speaker 26 (01:36:49):
The Democrats polling is not looking too good.

Speaker 7 (01:36:52):
The Democratic brand is in the basement.

Speaker 27 (01:36:54):
It is total and complete garbage in the mind of
the American public, and that is being driven in large
pop by discent within the Democratic base.

Speaker 26 (01:37:01):
So why are Democrats so upset? Listening to people call
into c Span can make you lose some brain cells,
but in this case, it's worth a dive in. Let's
hear what's got these Democrats so unhappy?

Speaker 35 (01:37:12):
You had two years of a president who is never there.

Speaker 29 (01:37:16):
The only bite we heard about for years was Hunter,
which was ridiculous.

Speaker 36 (01:37:22):
I'm very dissatisfied with it. I call it the Democratic
Party now because they're like a.

Speaker 1 (01:37:29):
Bunch of Vermits.

Speaker 36 (01:37:30):
We've been Democrats since I was a kid. These individuals
who pose themselves as Democrats more likely are supporting the
Communist National Party. And if they would listen to what
ac and Bernie Sanderws as saying, this is what many
people want, more progressive ideas, and this is especially what

(01:37:54):
young people want.

Speaker 35 (01:37:55):
They're basically socialists. Now they call themselves progressives, but if
you look, if you read call Marks, he said from
the very beginning that Americans would never take to the
word socialist or communists, but they would take the word progressive.
And that's what you hear all of them say. They're progressed. Now,
I'll probly vote independent from now on, or I might

(01:38:16):
even vote Republican. I don't know.

Speaker 23 (01:38:18):
I think the Democrats almost need to stop bashing against
Trump so much and start focusing really on some of
those things that Corey Booker was talking about, about healthcare
and about the way the immigrants have been treated. I
think Joe Biden is at fault for the state of
the party. It would have been a lot different if

(01:38:39):
he had had a different frame of mind and said yes,
that's a time for me to step away, step aside,
back maybe two years into his term, and let the
party decide on a new standard bearer. So they've solved
a lot of the problems are self inflicted and they
need to step back look at themselves. And I don't

(01:39:01):
even think that really continually bashing Trump is most effective.

Speaker 34 (01:39:05):
I'm registered Democrat, but I hate my party. I haven't
voted for a Democrat really in the elections in quite
a while. And yes I voted a Republican many times
because I like the policies better. Democrats have had terrible policies,
and now we have the rise of the so called progressives.
They're really regressive, people like the Squad and Ocasio Cortes

(01:39:30):
and now Mandami, who might become the mayor.

Speaker 36 (01:39:33):
Of New York City.

Speaker 34 (01:39:35):
He's a proven socialists and Marxist as well as an
anti semi This is us really terrible, the things that
they actually believe in.

Speaker 33 (01:39:43):
I have a complaint about both parties. I'm very unhappy
with WILLS because of the fact that quite a few
years ago now none of them are building any new
per ms for the low income workers and retired seniors.

(01:40:07):
I live in a senior retirement apartment. And anyway, we've
had broken pipes, we've had we only have one elevator
in the building, and it's been down for a week
at a time, sometimes a few days at a time,

(01:40:28):
and while they wait for new parts, and even when
the new parts come sometimes they're the wrong ones and
they have to reorder.

Speaker 26 (01:40:38):
First party to fix this, ladies, elevator will win the
mid terms in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (01:40:47):
All right, So that was from our friends over the
Daily Caller. But you heard it, you know. And the
funny thing is in BZ already mentioned this in the chat.
You've got people within the Democratic Party saying they need
to go for their left. I don't think that can
they go any further left? That's my question. But anyway,
so just in case you're wondering what's coming up this
week for anybody who's a political junkie like me, so

(01:41:08):
you've got the New York City mayor oil debate is
actually tennight, seven pm Eastern time. I'd see if I
can find a way to watch that for a little bit. Well,
I would, except I'm forgot. I'll be somewhere performing weddings,
or I won't be back from a ceremony yet that
I have to perform today the twenty twenty five Virginia

(01:41:28):
Attorney General debate. That one should be fun to watch.
That one is also apparently today doesn't give me a
timestamp on that one though, So this will be the
first debate for the New York City may oriel. The
next is Thursday, October sixteenth, so I'm sorry. The second, sorry,
is Wednesday, October twenty second. So wow, they're doing those

(01:41:51):
really close together. I wonder. I mean, I know they're
almost up to election day, but those seem like they're
kind of close together for me. So in Virginia, the
Attorney General debate is notable, especially because of the controversy
regarding its text messages. And I still think the young
Republican stuff that was released was Jay Jones' way of

(01:42:13):
trying to deflect from what he was saying in his
text messages. One A lot of those can be clearly
viewed as kind of sarcastic responses. And again, you're talking
about younger kids, what probably anywhere between the ages of
thirteen to twenty. I don't know how what the ages
are for young Republicans. I've never bothered to look. But again,

(01:42:35):
think about that from this perspective. If these kids are
anywhere between even fifteen to twenty, then you're talking about
from the time that they've became politically active, they have
been being called names like Nazis everything else in between.
So I think a lot of this was dark humor
coming through and people just embracing the fact that, you know,

(01:42:55):
we've been called worse than hitlers, so let's just have
a little bit of fun with it. We've all done it.
I've done it, so again, I don't and you know,
if the Left isn't willing to police their side over stuff,
that's a million times worse. I don't really care what
a bunch of kids are saying in text messages. I
know none of my kids are saying things like that.

(01:43:17):
That's all I care about. But so, what is the
plan for the debate tonight in New York City? It
looks like Cuomo and Sliwa aim to blunt and ma'm
Donnie's momentum, or at least they're hoping to. I don't
know if they're going to like try to tag team
the guy or what the plan is, but it looks
like they are trying to figure out a way to

(01:43:37):
slow him down. All I know is if I was Sliowa,
I would be mad. I mean, I get it, it's
almost it's next to impossible for Republican to win in
New York City right now. But if I had the
leader of my party and currently the leader of the
free world, telling everybody to vote for Cuomo, I would
be very very angry, very very angry. Indeed, and yeah, yes, busy.

(01:44:01):
I did, in fact see the big side from the
boss earlier. Oh so much fun, so much fun. Look,
if you like small government, if you like the government
being out of your life, out of your life as
much as possible, then this is a great time to
be alive. Seriously, the government isn't doing very much right now,

(01:44:25):
which means their part and parcel mostly staying out of
your lives, unless, of course, you happen to be in
the little alien and then they're all up in your beeswax,
and for that you have earned whatever you get from them,
in my opinion. All right, so let's take a quick
spin around my show notes and make sure we've covered
all over the bases just because. All right, so I

(01:44:55):
guess we are getting into Sorry, my phone was going
if I was saying, if it was anything important. Oh,
that's somebody from Washington, DC keeps calling me one of
these days. I'm actually answered, maybe it's important. Hell, I
don't know. So here we are nearing the end of

(01:45:17):
this two hour journey, and here's what I've got. Well
in America is run by politicians who can't keep the
doors open. On one hand, the other is held together
by the people who never stopped showing up sixteen days
into the shutdown. And we've seen it all. The Senate

(01:45:38):
that can't organize a vote, hackers hijacking public cloud speakers,
and an FBI operation proving that justice still works even
when politics doesn't. The scariest part for me is that
part in the middle. I would like to point out
that a good third of our airports are currently running
on technology older than the first smartphone. I don't know

(01:46:01):
how that. I don't know how you feel about that,
but that terrifies me. And it was even worse we
found out after you know, Budhages, who got to take
the victory lap as compared to the new guy. I
read the safest transportation department ever, blah blah blah. And
then we find out that they were, you know, overtaxing
systems and not upgrading systems and moving air traffic control

(01:46:24):
locations to hundreds of miles away from particular airports to consolidate,
and then overtaxing that system because the new systems that
they were trying to use couldn't keep up with the
old wiring that were used to make the connections. Then
everybody couldn't figure out why they get blinking out all
the damn time. The problem with all of this, no

(01:46:44):
matter how you look at it, is these aren't random stories.
There are symptoms of the same disease, and we're living
through it right now. It's a term that I've kind
of come to call system fatigue. We've built. The government's
so big it can't remember what but it feels like.
But the silver lining, the American spirit still knows how
to get the job done. Think about that. This week,

(01:47:07):
Congress is locked in performative chaos, Hackers are yelling through
airport pas and our air Force is drawing skydoodles over
Venezuela of anatomy. So can you think about that for
a second. If you pitch that as a script even
to like the lowest low rent streaming service. They would

(01:47:27):
tell you it was too far fetched, and yet here
we are living through it as we speak. Maybe the
next continuing Resolution should include a line item for common sense.
But there is good news, ladies and gentlemen. The heart
of this country still beats outside of the Beltway, and
if anything, it has been awoken more by what's happened

(01:47:52):
within the last thirty days. What if I told you
that church attendance among Generation Z or Zennials as we
call them, or Zoomers or whatever you want to call them,
depending on where they break down in the scale is
up by almost two percent year over year from twenty
twenty four to twenty twenty five. That's a big jump.
What if I told you that more and more kids

(01:48:13):
were checking out Bibles and Bible apps between twenty twenty
four and twenty twenty five, what if I told you
church service attendance was up overall? Everybody seems to forget
that this country was founded on Judeo Christian principles, And
as a matter of fact, it is a bad word
to say that anymore. That's not true. You don't know

(01:48:34):
what you're talking about. Yes, as a matter of fact,
I do almost every single person that was involved in
the founding of this country was a devout person of faith,
and even the ones who weren't were still primarily agnostic,
not atheist, so there was still faith involved. Our founding
documents mention our faith. We've turned our face away from

(01:48:57):
it for so long that it took something as drastic
as Charlie Kirk to turn it back is insane to me,
but as we can. As we start to close out
the show, I'm reminded of a line from the ceremony
where he was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Freedom,
and I thought this was probably one of the most

(01:49:18):
touching moments, even from his wife, because she was talking
about how much of a struggle it was to find
him a present every year for his birthday, because he
wasn't materialistic and he already pretty much had everything that
he already wanted. And she said, mister President, it may
have come after his passing, but you may have given
him the best birthday present ever by giving him this.

(01:49:41):
I'm paraphasing that a bit, but I want to commend
that woman for her strength because I almost six years
ago started going through divorce, well five years ago, started
going through divorce and I'm still a mess. I can't
imagine how much worse it would be if the person
that I loved with my whole heart didn't just decide

(01:50:03):
to leave, but was completely taken away from me by death.
I don't know how she functions. I'm watching this woman
give public appearances and talks and things that I am
envious in her ability to do because I haven't been
able to completely put my life back together, and for
her it's been a month. For me, it's been going

(01:50:24):
on five years. And I know, maybe from the outside
it doesn't seem that bad, and maybe that's what she
goes through because we're looking at hers from the outside
and from the inside she feels like a mess, but
she's doing everything she can to hold it together for
the outside world, and maybe that's why it seems different
watching her do it. I don't know, but I know

(01:50:45):
this God uses everything for good, even if we can't
understand it. And that's exactly what's been happening. With the
assassination of Charlie Kirk. You are seeing a country finishing
waking up. Cod and the lockdowns and the education issues
were enough to start us waking up but we had

(01:51:05):
started being lulled back to sleep again. Whether anybody wants
to admit it to you or not, Charlie Kirk was
the catalyst that was needed for a lot of the
country to realize that we are not living in the
same world that we did on September ninth, twenty twenty
five versus September tenth, twenty twenty five. Now you've got
a lot of folks on both sides that are screaming

(01:51:26):
for the dial to be turned up or the switch
to be flipped, depending on which side they are that
they are on. I don't think any of them are
going to get exactly what they've asked for if it
does ever come. The past though, because it's been a
long time since we've had a civil war. It's been
a long time since we've had an up close, personal
and bloody war too. I think that's part of what's

(01:51:49):
made all these police actions and everything that we've done
over the last several decades, not counting Vietnam, because it
still was pretty much on the ground skirmish. But when
you've got a bunch of kids that are sitting in
lane in a shed flying drones with joysticks, thousands of
miles away from the theater of war. Kind of makes

(01:52:12):
it easier, wouldn't you think. All right, but again there
is still good news. The agents, the the airport crews,
the listeners are care enough to pay attention. You're the
reason this place still works. Yesterday we were talking about
the shutdown. Second week. Today we're talking about the cracks

(01:52:34):
inside the Democratic Party, inside our cyber defenses, and inside
our institutions. But we also saw the fix people doing
the work. Anyway, that's the America that still works. Stay sharp,
stay grounded, and stay grateful for the people who actually
keep the country running. I'm Rick Robinson. This has been
the Rick Robinson Show. Will be back tomorrow morning for

(01:52:55):
at ten am Eastern. Same truth, even less nonsense, if
at all possible on the way out, though I do
still want to tease one more thing. Don't forget Friday.
A week from Friday, almost this Friday, week from Friday,
October twenty fourth, twenty twenty five, the day of the
year stood still presented by the KLRN radio players. Again,

(01:53:15):
that is kind of a it's a big deal. The
reason it's a big deal, and I talked about this
at the opening of the show. I'm going to talk
about it at the end of the show. Remember that
whole nearly five year span I was telling you where
I was barely hanging on by a thread, trying to
figure out how to put my life back together, all
that fun stuff.

Speaker 20 (01:53:32):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:53:32):
The funny thing is, right before my life turned sideways,
I was about to start talking to the folks of
KLR Radio about starting to try to put on radio dramas,
and my life went sideways and I was unplugged from
this other than you know, keeping certain people's shows on
the running that I was required to do production for
for over a year. When I came back, I found

(01:53:59):
out that they had started doing what I had always
wanted to do, and I didn't even have to tell
them that I wanted to do it. It was started
by Mickey blow towards during COVID, and it basically just
became a way for them to have an outlet since
everybody was being locked at home, et cetera. And I
found out about it, I think it was if I remember,

(01:54:20):
I think the first one was October of twenty one,
and they had asked because that was around the time
I was trying to get spun back up again, and
they had asked me to be part of it, and
I couldn't make it happen. And then I was so
bummed that I couldn't because I heard it and it
was so much fun. And the funny thing is it
started as just kind of a half joke where they
were going to do a live read while they were drinking,
and then it became it was one of the most

(01:54:41):
popular things that we had put on. And then the
next thing, you know, we were doing Christmas productions and yeah,
I mean, granted, we get some well this sounds like
a bunch of tenth graders in a high school drama
thing doing it on doing a zoom call. Well that's
basically what it was when it started. But we don't
claim to be Thespians. We're just trying to entertain people.

(01:55:03):
But the thing for me, and what helped me snap
back in a little bit, was realizing that this must
have been something that was supposed to happen, because I
hadn't even had a chance to tell them that I
wanted to start exploring that, and they figured out a
way to start making it happen without me. That's when
I knew what an amazing team we had here. What
a family we had built, and the family continues to grow.

(01:55:25):
We have new Kalen Radio players joining us usually every production.
We have quite a few that will be joining us.
We'll have the cast list out probably later this next
week or so, so we can start promoting in earnest.
But again the day the year stood still in conjunction
with the rest of Kaylan Radio Spooky Season Friday night,

(01:55:46):
October twenty fourth, eight thirty pm Eastern, otherwise lovingly known
as Aggie Time, So make sure you join us for that.
It should be a lot of fun. And again want
to thank everybody for taking the time to hang out
with us today. Star up looking at the numbers because
I realized I've been focusing on that too much and
not paying enough attention to how the show should work

(01:56:06):
or sound. My name is Rick Robinson. This has been
my show. We're going out with the full intro. We'll
see you guys tomorrow and I'll be back tonight for
Gin and Rick. Oh and don't forget to come hang
out for the Culture Shift first too. That one I
believe starts at eight thirty.

Speaker 21 (01:56:33):
From Redder Rose to the Capitol Steps. Rick's calling through
no town for regrets, firing voices, facts in his hands,
talk sense to the holidays, Land gets the Rick Robinson Show,
no spin, no script, just a Nele and Scott from DC.

Speaker 13 (01:56:55):
To juse his hand.

Speaker 22 (01:57:00):
He's got the clouds Roy real tune, little speaker Field
with Field.

Speaker 1 (01:57:13):
I would be remiss if I didn't mention this too.
After Jen and Rick, there will be a live Besi's
Berserk Bobcat Saloon from our friends over this HR media,
So make sure you come back for that too. So
that puts me working still about one in the morning
Eastern time.

Speaker 37 (01:57:28):
