Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everyone, grit platter you. I want to talk to
you about something. In two thousand and seven, when I
was a young infantry sergeant in the Marine Corps, myself
and some machine gunners I served in Forllusion Ramadi with
were on our third deployment. We were in a naval
vessel and we pulled in for a liberty port in
Split Croatia. We went ashore to do the thing that
young Marines do, which tends to be carousing and sometimes

(00:22):
getting tattoos. We wanted to get something that represented our jobs,
our service fighting in Fallusion Ramadi.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
As machine gunners. We went ashore.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
We found a tattoo parlor after a fair amount of
heavy carousing, and we found a tattoo on the wall,
a piece of flash that looked like a terrifying skull
and crossbones. We thought it looked cool, and so we
got it. I have had this tattoo for the last
eighteen years. I re enlisted into the United States Army
with this tattoo, where I was screened for hate and

(00:55):
gang related tattoos. I worked for the State Department as
a contractor, where I got a full physical which included
screening my tattoos. I've gone through life with this thing,
taking my shirt off, having photographs taken, videos taken.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
I've been very very op.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah, this guy Platner is his last name, Graham Platner, and.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
He talks like a gruff, rough, tough American man. And
if you ain't a maon, then listen to me talk
and you'll become more of a man.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Sometimes. This was funny all by itself, but I think
that does deserve an explanation of why Steve and I
thought it was so funny. During commercial break, we watched
this video of that guy, Graham Platner, a rough and
gruff main Democrat man with a scary tattoo. He might
be a vegan, but he eats vegan brisket anyway. So
this guy, obviously, I don't know why does he talk?

(01:51):
Does that how people in Maine talk? I don't know
do We just watched a video of Susan Collins, challenger
to become the Senator of the State of Man, drunk
in his underwear in a restaurant.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
He's a party man.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Dancing and singing to the song Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus.
And strangely, that's not even the most embarrassing thing about
this video.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
That is the song that you were listening to while
he was talking like a man.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Right, So he is dancing naked in a restaurant in
front like the restaurant's staff looks uncomfortableear right, and then
right there in the middle of the video popping off
of his chest. You can't ignore the fact that this
guy has a full blown, straight up Nazi tattoo. Yes,
what it's the And now here he is having to

(02:39):
explain why this video, where you would think the fact
that he's drunk in his underwear in a restaurant would
be the party'd have to explain that's not that's a
footnote in this story. Weirdly, the part that he's really
focused on here is why it's Okay, guys, it's just
a Nazi tattoo. However, Pete Hegsath's Catholic tattoo.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
So everybody remember that. I know that was a long
time ago, it's way back February.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Now that that has popped up again, what did the
what did the Democrats in the media think about Pete's
Catholic tattoo?

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Okay, so, as if it wasn't ridiculous enough that they
called his Catholic tattoo a white supremacist tattoo. As they
were burying Jimmy Carter. Do you remember this, The floor
of the church in Washington, d C. Was covered with
the same symbol. I mean the floor it was. It
wasn't a rug, it wasn't a picture. The floor was

(03:29):
made into that same tattoo.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, let me see if I can pull up appre
it is. I've got a picture of it right here.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Oh look how hateful that is. It's a damn cross,
is what it is. It's called the Jerusalem Cross. Democrats
said that it was a white supremacist thing. It's all
over the floor of the cathedral in Washington, d C.
Where they buried poor Jimmy Carter, the National Cathedral.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
God, it's made billion over here. What's up, Billy Hatfield?
People's champ, interim, people's champa?

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Play me the first three or four words of Plattner's
little speech.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
So I just want to hear him. Start.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Let me see I can find it again. Hang on,
I got it right here, all right here, ladies and gentlemen,
listen to him. There's a man talk. Here's the fresh
new face of the Democrat Party.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Hey, everyone, grip platter here, that's plenty two thousand and sevens.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
That's Pliny, you know, damn while he's doing that out there.
That is not how people talk on the Upper East Coast,
he claimed in his apology about his tattoo. If you
could call it, it's an explanation really, not an apology.
He says he has lived a life dedicated to anti
fascism and anti racism and anti Nazism.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Then why is he claiming to be a democrat?

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Right exactly? See what, No, you're right about that. And
by the way, I'm not going to pretend I'm offended
by this tattoo. I don't care at all. It's just
the point that you guys just spent I mean, what
weeks at least back at the beginning of the year
telling us this is why Pete Hagseth can't be in
charge of what was at the time called the Department
of Defense. Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
And now you're telling us actually Nazi.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Right.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
It's the best part too. It's in the same place
it's on his chest. It's not even yeah, but he
thought it looked cool. And you know, crosses, they just
scare people who aren't White and Steve pointed something out
during commercial break. I gotta give him credit to this too.
The song was wrecking Ball, right which.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
It's exactly what Donald Trump is taking to the White
House right now.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
That's exactly what Joe Scarborough just said. Now, let me
ask you.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
I heard you listed presidents that did some more on
the White House in the past hundred.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Years or so a lot of them.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Did any of them actually have to tear anything down
before they built something back?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
It sounds like a lot of add on projects.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
But see this guy's just he's just tearing it down.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Well, hang on a second. I can't really think of
a scenario where you couldn't redo the entire interior.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
I've heard that part. That's what I was asking you
about how tearing something down.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Your answer was supposed to be yes, Yes, I know, Yes,
they tear it down. I don't know if you ever
watched them kids up in Waco, like the rebuilding houses.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Oh, sure they were. We were just hanging out with
them at our comedy show. Sure you work, Yes, of course.
That guy's favorite day is demo day. Demod What does
demo stand for? It's a shortened version of demonstration.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Demo.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Listen what blowing stuff up, knocking stuff down, tearing it apart.
You do the demo before you do the rehab see,
which is another shortened version of some other word. They
love FDR so much, that's their their favorite person in
the Democrat Party. They ignored the whole Japanese in tournament
camp thing. But they also ignore he put a swimming pool,

(06:49):
an indoor swimming pool in the White House and that
is now where the press briefing room is. They got
Eventually a Republican got rid of that. He thought it
was a little inappropriate.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
Like at the end of day at Jimmy Stewart movie
about you know, Christmas and stuff, wonderful life. I guess
it's called Sure, the kids were dancing on the gymnasium
floor and then somebody pushed the button and the gymnasium
floor started opening up, you know, like they just start
spreading a part. And it was a swimming pool underneath.

(07:19):
And see what they could do is they could have
just left the pool and then had the White House
press briefing people get all the press in there, shot
them all sitting there in their little folding chair.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
I see where this is going, and then push the
button and they all just fall into the pool.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
That'd be great.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Actually, Trump could sit there and just laugh and point
at him and go, ah, now, oh, you.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Got it all, Dad. Now that's the one thing. Now
I'm disappointed they're not doing that. I know.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Just like that.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Trump's pulling numbers just went down because you came up
with that idea and he can't do it.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
But if he did, it did shoot through the roof.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Oh my god, it all the numbers are actually okay,
despite the fact that the Democrats are outraged over everything.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
At this point in his second term, is pulling numbers
are higher than Obama's were at this point George W.
Bush Is and Joe Biden's, every other president from the
twenty first century.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Donald Trump is crushing them and pulling down. Now.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
I don't know if that matters to you or not,
but here's something else that's very important to us today. Finally,
after all these years, the Catholics and the Protestants are
going to bury the hatchet and hand each other in
Olive Branch.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
They said, it's been since fifth If this is you know,
it's hard to matter since fifteen thirty four has a
lot of years since the British monarch, which I guess
the king or Queen, has sat down and prayed with
the Pope. But King Charles is just walking along side

(08:44):
by side with the Pope at the Vatican energy. They said,
so far and they're being careful, But so far King
Charles has only burst into flames twice.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Wow, I'm impressed. Not bad. Yeah, why would someone do
a radio show on a Thursday? Wolton Johnson Radio Network
got the sweet little Magnolia beauties over there.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
This song was practically written for Walton and Johnson listeners.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
I'm in Texas, but I'm also in Mississippi in another place?
Is that because of poon tang? You think? Always? Always? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (09:21):
I know, I got a little situation I mentioned earlier.
We were talking about something. Oh the guy driving a
eighteen wheeler.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
I wanted you to see the look.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Oh yeah, illegal immigrants driving eighteen wheelers apparently. Oh god,
now that's your most recent killer during Diwali.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Oh no, fell, that was a couple of days ago.
But sure.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, another truck driver in the US illegally, and I
think driving the truck illegally too. But you know, in
California they got him a governor over there who don't
think it's a problem that Gavin Newsom guy, But he
does have a three hundred dollars haircut. Well sure, yeah,
California and their government has got They don't care about
federal standards requiring no English proficiency for example, Well English

(10:10):
is kind of offensive to them. This guy we're looking
at here, the killer, his name is something seeing. I think,
so how you pronounced jazz of pret just sanna, justin
something pret.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
There you go with your racism, you and Pete Hagsat's
Catholic tattoo.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Dash cam footage actually captured the moment where he just
drove his eighteen wheeler into a crowd of cars and
other trucks on the IT Freeway there somewhere around La.
I think said he's just driving along and he just
plowed right into traffic, killed at least three that we

(10:50):
know of, injured several others, and are waiting to see
how they do. No no braking ever applied, just as
Surge is jamming his eighteen wheeler into like lives meant
nothing to him. Oh and the toxicology reports are back
now and it confirms what everybody thought. Oh, this guy
who shouldn't have been here in the country anyway, shouldn't

(11:12):
have been driving an eighteen wheeler anyway, Sure shouldn't have
been driving it here in America and intoxicated. This was
very preventable. He Biden could have kept him out of
the country, but he didn't. He joined the what twelve to.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Twenty million other people who just decided to make an
unlawful entry into the United States and make themselves at home. Well,
you know, did anybody ask him if he if he
knew the rules? Maybe he didn't know. I mean maybe
probably not because it don't speak no English or a
lot enough. Well, isn't that our fault for not making
the rules more clear and still seventeen thousand other languages?

Speaker 4 (11:49):
When he does speak English, he probably does his head
like this too, which is just infuriating.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
That was only in eighties movies for some while. Oh no,
they do it. I don't like this. We'll wobble on you.
We've been told to tell you to not do that
voice too. It's not he void like that.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
No, you're allowed to do the voice of Graham Plattner.
That's okay, Hey, everybody, rough and tough white guy here
from Upper Maine.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
This is how we all talk in Maine. But that's
a bad idea. Isn't that amazing?

Speaker 3 (12:20):
They wanted to find a candidate that was as much
like the group of voters they they think they lost.
So they went out and found the only guy in
Maine with a Texas accent, and they threw in a
Nazi tattoo because that's what they think we're like, and
they think, well, that'll get men like us. I actually
think I'm starting to suspect they picked a guy with

(12:41):
a Nazi tattoo on purpose. Probably they're like, you know what,
We'll and then we'll have him apologize for it, but
low key he'll be like, isn't that a cool tattoo.
We'll have him go meet with some young men from
a Republican girl.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
Every young man in America now wants to get the
same tattoo.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Can I play a SoundBite for you from the city
mayoral election that's gonna forget you hate socialism for a minute,
and it's hard to forget. Ask yourself a question, is
this not one of the best retorts you've ever heard.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
In a political word?

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Katie?

Speaker 2 (13:14):
I'm sorry, uh?

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Is this not one of the retorted, I'm sorry, is
this not one of the best down syndromes you've ever
heard in your Okay, listen to what Cuomo's going to
make a point about how the city of New York
is having problems because it's something that happened on the
state level. Listen to mom Donnie's response, forget you hate
socialism and just be objective here. Is this not a
great response?

Speaker 6 (13:35):
Same You had the worst attendance record in the Assembly
and you gave yourselves the highest rays in the United
States of America. You went from one hundred and ten
thousand to one hundred and forty thousand dollars, and then
you never showed up for work and you missed eighty
percent of the votes.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Shame on you, Shame on you.

Speaker 7 (13:57):
It is always a pleasure to hear Andrew Cuomo create
his own facts at every debate stage. We just had
a former governor say in his own words that the
city has been getting screwed by the state. Who was
leading the state?

Speaker 2 (14:13):
It was you guys?

Speaker 3 (14:15):
It will you know you can give give a guy
credit for a good comeback, no, even if he is
a stinking comedy. The year was twenty twenty one New
York state lawmakers got a pay raise during Cuomo's governorship.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Then Cuomo.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Then Cuomo goes into debate and says, I can't believe
you got a pay raise.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, you signed the bill. That kind of you're doing there,
ain't it. Yeah. None of these clowns ought to be
in the running. No lawyer was. Curtis did he not
get invited?

Speaker 3 (14:46):
He's there, but just nobody knows. It's a you know,
the beret I think was too loud to.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Hear Curtis he I don't think he wore the beret
during the debate because they were going to have a
sign under his name and you know, under his thing
with his name on it, so you'd figure it out.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Not gonna work. No, Ray, They probably thought he was
someone else. They probably thought he was Graham Platner.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
And besides, the brat just gives you a little bit
more of an attitude. When you're on the street, you know,
about to take down a thug, or you're in an
auditorium on a stage about to take down two thugs,
you gotta have at Bray.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
I'm starting an artist.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
I think we're the only radio show in America that
isn't like that. We're not either obsessed with defending Israel,
nor do we blame the Jews for everything. And anyway,
it was a topic of conversation during the NYC mayoral debate.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
Go ahead doesn't just protect Jewish New Yorkers but also
celebrates and cherishes them. Who doesn't just increase funding to
hate crime prevention programs by eight hundred percent? Who doesn't
just ensure that the NYPD are outside of synagogues and
temples on the high Holy days, but also actually delivers
on the implementation of the Hidden Voices curriculum in our
school system, so the children in this city learn about

(15:57):
the beauty and the breast of the Jewish experience.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Right you're in the five burs Nice. He was just
hanging out with one of the World Trade Center terrorists. Yeah, man,
you know that's all good. You know, things were different
back then.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
There is a rabbi walking around in New York City
right now, a prominent New York City rabbi telling everybody, Mom,
Donnie is a danger to the.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Jews, and I am.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Look, I don't know if that's true or not, but
I will tell you he's You're not a friend to
the Jews if you're hanging out with the World Trade
Center terrorists, like, give me a break, bro. There is
a photo of mom Donnie wearing one of the tiny hats.
I gotta tell you, no, I mean, as great as
the Pope's hat is. Nobody's got better hats than the Jews.
I got oh wait, wait, wait, wait that one guy
on the right there, now, come on, he's wearing a footstool.

(16:40):
I got a picture here, tire footstool on his head.
I don't get what that is either. I got a
picture here a mom Donnie wearing one of the tiny hats,
and he's drinking Manis Chevitz with a bunch of Orthodox
Jews that I.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
Think will do anything it takes to get the job.
You know, once you've got the vote, then you can
go screw all those people that voted for.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
And there's three or four hats here that are interesting
to me, right, besides the tiny hats, which are always interesting.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
So the flat real one back there, that's the kind
of hat that comes with the braids, right, The hat
and the braids are all one piece.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
There's a guy in the background in his hat. It
almost looks like a cowboy hat. Got ironed. I don't
know how else to explain it, very flat. And then
but then there's two other gentlemen here that have these
fur contraptions on their heads. They kind of look like, well, footstools.
To your point, that kind of looks like artificial intelligence.
It may be AI just messing with you, bro. That

(17:34):
is such a good point. This doesn't look like a
real photo. But it's out of the New York Post.
It has to be a real photo.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
It doesn't have to be Maybe they got tricked to
Is it AI or a hole? You decide, Oh, they
said not to do that. Actually wearing footstools on their head.
That a holes right there. I actually thought that was
a great line. You're in rare form today.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
But I do feel like we're gonna get called into
the office and uh, yeah, well we were going to anyway.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
I'm not going to defend you, you know, Oh I
don't know. I don't need you to.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
I'm just gonna talk like a oh grand Platner boy
from Maine.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, you will talk to me immediately. They're gonna go No,
you guys are fine, go ahead, go home.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
We didn't know we couldn't call these hats the Jews
were wearing AI generated and so unrealistic because up here
in Maine we've all got a Nazi tattoo and that's normal.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
It's mainly yeah, oh, what's to get excited about. What's
to get excited about? Well, let's see, it's Thursday, right,
It's just Thursday, just a regular Thursday. Well, I for one,
am very excited about about the show. Walton and Johnson
