Speaker 1 (00:01):
On the streets of Iran, Tehran, more specifically the capital
of Iran, where Sharia law is the norm and women
are not to wear the head wrap expose their hair.
That is to say, they have to wear the raps
all the time. The head job, I believe, is what
they call it. Yeah, they get different words for it.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And if you say that, you're supposed to say it
with a Middle East accent from now on, right, just
like the Spanish people on TV.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
There's the problem with the Mid East accent is technically
there's more than one mediat Well, that's.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
True, and I know you like to be very accurate
with your specificities.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
But there's only one Asian accent. Oh yeah, I know
makes me uncomfortable too.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
And by the way, if you cover the hurricane from
now on, talk like a Jamaican, yes, of course, because.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Now it has ravaged the island.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Well, on that being said, we were just looking here
at this video that recently went Viralctober twenty fourth, twenty
twenty five, The Iran Right, the Iran Shar neighborhood of
eastern Tehran shows a street band performing the white stripe
Seven Nation Army with a crowd of locals including dozens
of women openly not wearing hitjobs what gathering around dancing.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
And they have a word for this. I forget what
it was called, the.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Infidelism BLATSPHEMERI I don't know what is it.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Well, they do this thing where to protest the government.
They have rock and roll performances in the street. It's
very American. Actually they let.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Their hair out. Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
They turned their hair loose on unsuspecting public. Are these
women all those five days ago? Are they all did now?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I mean, I wonder that's what I wonder. They have
something there called the chastity bill. Here it is sonic resistance.
Street performances like this are a form of sonic resistance,
or traditional Iranian practice of using public music to challenge authority,
dating back centuries, but in recent years often rock mus
And you know, I thought that was cool. I don't
know that we should waste any of our resources going
(02:05):
there to help them or doing anything about it.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
But fun to watch from afar. Yeah, it's like having
an ant farm. Let's just sit back see what happens.
You know what that is?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
An ant farmer like that? Yeah, I'm aware of what
an ant farm Isn't sure.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I mean like like in the house, not like out
in the yard or something. It's just an ant bed.
Ant farms were popular when I was a kid for
some reason. You just sandwich some sand between two pieces
of glass, dope some ants in there, and then you
can watch them do all their tunneling and just well, boy,
better than television these days.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Technically it's called a former carrium. It's the ant nest
that is enclosed in a container.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
M H.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I will I didn't sell it, you know, to the
public as a foreign of caium or whatever, because nobody
would have bought it.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I will admit that I look that up just a side.
I know you did.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
But we have them as kids, mostly because we had
this rock band on the radio called alien Ant Farm
and they were a one hit wonder. They did a
cover of Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal, and it was.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It was everything you'd hoped for.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
That must suck to get on the radio just for
one song that you didn't even write, and then not
make any.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Money off of it. That's no good.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And then as soon as we had alien Ant Farm,
as quickly as they came, they left and they.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Weren't even aliens. No, they lied. I digress. I know
who started it.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
If you guys are still talking about the Mexican accent.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
TV shows, Billyad, we were not talking about that. That
was almost thirty minutes ago. But go ahead if you're
just turning on your radio. We were discussing how bizarre
it is that TV newscasters will slip into a thick
Hispanic accent when saying the names of Hispanic you know,
Spanish towns.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
That's anybody Sanjose could be the reporter herself on the TV,
or it could be somebody introducing someone else on the
show at it could be a place anything. It was
Elma Barrera Channel thirteen ABC News, Houston, Texas back in
the I'm in the sixties or seventies. I was a kid,
(04:11):
and I remember watching Houston TV from from Klute, where
I was born and raised, and uh, you know, Channel
thirteen was it for my parents.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I think mom probably.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Had a crush on well, I probably had a crush
on the weather guy, Ed Brandon, but she didn't know
he wasn't she wasn't his type because and then there
was Bob Allen, the sports guy with the really good hair,
you know. And then Dave Ward. Of course, Dave Dave Ward.
Uh's been there forever, you know. But Elma Barrera got
(04:46):
a job Channel thirteen and for you know, longest time,
she'd do that thing where she'd like do the story
and then she from the courthouse downtown, I'm Elma Barrera
eyewitness news. And then one day the blue were watching
TV that night and she's like, now from in front
of the courthouse in downtown Houston, I'm eyewitnessed me.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I always said, Barrera, it's hard to forget your roots.
I walked into this room and they gave me a job.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I didn't ask for it.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
She was working in radio back then.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
She was at Channel thirteen to interview the news director
the topic.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Why aren't there more Hispanics in the media.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
As Houston's first female Hispanic news reporter, she produced and
hosted a Spanish TV show and also.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Coach Wait wait wait.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
She got her first job in TV because she showed
up to race shame the manager of the news.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
That sounded like yeah, and so they said, well, how
about this instead of you, you know, sued us or
shaming us, or or telling Mexicans not to watch our
TV show, how about we.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Just give you a job.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
That's how you that's how you earn things in this country.
People feel sorry for you. You're a victim. Yeah, yeah,
we need like the DEI even though we didn't even
know what that was back in those days. There was
She didn't start out. I remember that she was just
regular Elma Brera for you know, however long. But at
(06:17):
some point she just busted out with that, and I
remember my mom and dad looked at each other and looked,
and I was like, what the hell was that. It's like,
oh boy, that's it. Yeah, they just ruined it. Wow. Yeah,
but she stayed on there for years and we kept watching.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Anyway, Well, I you know it's right now, you have
to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
You talk about that, the new mayor coming into New
Orleans even in orders.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
You got to say it with that accent, right.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
You can't say Helen or I don't ever think I
can say it right without the accent. See, you got
to say you gotta do it, and you don't hit
the h hard.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
You know it's yeah. Okay, Well, last night President Donald
Trump was in South Korea with President who had to
do it?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Who gifted the President of the United States with a
John Chong gold crown on his visit to South Korea,
and right after the No Kings.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Protest, they gave Trump a crown, a gold crown. Yeah,
nice and sovereignty. I also thought this was nice.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Do you remember not long ago all the cherry blossom
trees in Washington, d c.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Did they die or they had to be removed? I
fork happened to them? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I think they had to remove them because AOC was
she was getting loose at night and chewing on the trunk.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
So if that must have been a yeah, makes perfect
with those big teeth. Well she she can't do anything
about it. We're about to replace them. We've gotten some
new ones. Japan is gifting them to us, because that.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Little gal that's in charge of Japan now she's first,
you know whatever, emperor whatever. They got some divine you know,
emperor that was just passed down from.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Heaven or something. Not sure that's not true, but God,
I think that's how they were. I don't think so. Sheeah.
I think she's got the hots for Trump. She really
likes him. And I'm telling you, every time I look
at her, she is looking at him like, yeah, buddy,
this is yours.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Anytime you own it and to negotiate a trade deal
with the United States of America. Japan has agreed to
take ten percent of their economy and invest it in
the United States. That's a pretty big deal. Trump is definitely,
I imagine being mad about that.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Oh oh, they're mad because Trump's touched it, He's involved
in it in any way. It has to be a terrible,
horrible thing. Democrats are soundly against investing in America. Or
surprise a lot of people yesterday when Trump came on
and started telling people to America, so.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Oh, buy Toyota, Go ahead, buy Toyota.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Now, it's like what, Yeah, they're gonna build Toyotas in America,
you know, open up a bunch of plans. And it's
been what is it? When he left, everybody was like, well,
it was Trump leaving. He's just going on vacation while
the government shut down. He needs to be here working.
So instead he went out and rounded up about five
hundred billion dollars in investments from foreign nations in our country.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
And he's hanging out with something called APAC, which is
the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation, not to be confused with APAK,
the pro Israel lobbying group.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, I didn't want to confuse those two.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Well, I noticed some people were confused about it on
the internet. And while Trump was over there in South
Korea late last night, you were asleep in your bed,
all tucked away in your jammi jams. Donald Trump told
South Korea this.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
When America thrives, our partners thrive, and our alliances thrive
with all of all of the countries, the Indo Pacific thrives,
and that's good for all of us, and the entire
world becomes safer and wealthy and greater than ever before.
We get along with a lot of countries. We solved
a lot of wars and a lot of problems, and
that's all good for all of us.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
When America thrives, our partners thrive, and our alliances thrive,
says Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
The Hitler ist Hitler, whoever Hitler. There you go.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And that's how they'll break the news to you today
as you wake up this morning and watch other news networks.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
My favorite news story of the day yesterday didn't get
a lot of coverage for some reason. Because you'll figure
out why. There was somebody on the news being interviewed
and I forget who started it, but then all the
other Democrats jumped in and they said, with a straight
face many times, I don't think I've ever referred to
(10:35):
Donald Trump as Hitler. I don't think anyone in the
Democrat Party has ever compared Donald Trump to Hitler. That's
just not does sound like something we'd do.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Many of them had compared Donald Trump to Hitler moments
earlier on other cable news networks.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Somebody now the lady interviewing them when they said this
stuffy she didn't, you know, she didn't back them up
a little bit. But it's easy to do just any anybody. Yeah,
I mean, obviously Kenny is one of the greatest googlers
of our time. But anybody that has ever been on
the Internet at all for ten minutes probably knows how
(11:11):
to find multiple videos of Democrats comparing Trump and other
Republicans to Hitler and other horrible Nazis. I mean, you know,
it's not just Hitler, sometimes just Nazi. Sometimes it's just
you know, so just but they did it, and they
just lie to you with a straight face and tell
you no, not something we would never do.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Now, we would never do that, except when we're doing it.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
All the time, constantly what day it is?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Today?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Is Wednesday preceded by Thursday as yours?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
When he still sleep? Right away?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
What's on the agenda for today?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I believe you're aware of my Wednesday schedule. You might
have to refresh my mine.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And Johnson, what do you miss the most about the
Biden administration? If you had to pick one thing, Bill, Yeah, man,
that is a tough call.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
The vacant stair that looked on his face and in
his eyes, that tells you he has no idea where he is.
Also missed, the turning and shaking the hands of the
invisible people. Yeah, but falling up stairs. I guess I'm
just more of a three Stooges kind of humor.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Guy.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I do love the slapstick, the physical comedy. Watching him
fall upstairs was just The bicycle thing was okay, you know,
but people fall off bikes pretty regular, but sure people
fall up stairs very often.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Hell yeah, those were all great answers, and yet somehow
your answer makes you racist and homophobic.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Is that funny how that worked out? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Right, The correct answer was you The thing you missed
the most is the black woman who is queer, who's
just who?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
We're talking about now.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Okay, so yesterday, well, I guess at this point a
couple of days ago, Kareem Jean Pierre is making the
rounds trying to sell her new book.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Eh, the girl with the raggedy ann hair, that's correct,
not anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
She's well, no, she changed her hair. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
What She's being interviewed on MSNBC. Grilled, grilled on MSNBC
of all the places, oh boy, over her cover up
of Sleepy Joe's descent into dementia and her attacks from
the White House podium on Special Council Robert Hurr, who,
as you know, had asked questions, had made the suggestion
that we couldn't charge Joe Biden with a crime because
(13:27):
his brain was too broken.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I know he was doing anything wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
The reason they didn't go after him, you know, criminally,
is because his brain was broke. But then every other
time anybody talked about him sharp as attack a man
was just a dynamo all the time in front of
the camera and behind closed doors, people actually were saying
things like he's more energetic.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I can't keep up with him. Yeah right.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
His report highlighted Sleepy Joe's lack of cognitive ability and memory.
So she was asked about this on MSNBC yesterday by
a man whose skin tone is just slightly lighter than hers.
And I know that doesn't seem like it should matter
in a normal society where meritocracy is valued, but this
is MSNBC. So actually her having slightly darker skin color
(14:14):
means that she is the has the most authority on
the panel right now.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Okay, is she a bad bitch? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Uh huh, yes, okay, I've heard you know that something
kids say today, So why not?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, of course, right, yeah, she's I think boss bitch
is what they Okay. Anyway, here is Kreean Jean Pierre
answering the question, you know what, why'd you help participate
in the cover up of Joe's dementia Korean? Do you
have any regrets at all for anything that you said
while you were speaking on behalf of this administration.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I'm look, it's a simple because you're asking for a yester,
no question.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I want to put some context to it too. I'd
her every day.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I woke up.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
Every day very proud to be the White House pre secretary.
I woke up every day as a as a black woman,
who is queer, who had never no one had ever
seen someone like me at that podium, standing behind that lecture,
and it was an honor and a privilege.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
To have that job, to be a black woman who
is queer. Now you're probably wondering, what did that. You
didn't answer the question at all.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
She just did not even come close to it. What
is the name of her book, Black Queer Woman, Pluck
Black Queer Woman, available now at Amazon dot com. Read
it twice? Yeah, you got You miss a lot the first.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Time because you're asking for a yester or no question.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I want to put some.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Context to it, some context. The context was, what again,
I don't.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Every day will every day black woman who is queer,
and as the first openly queer person to hold the
position of Press Secretary for the President of the United States,
I see every day how important visibility and representation are.
I am a black, gay immigrant woman.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
As the first black, openly queer White House presecretary, as
a black woman, as a person who's also LGBTQ.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
As a black woman who has walked through the walls
of the White House.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
And I meant a lot to people because of the
communities that I represented and they felt scene when they
saw me at the podium. Whether it was women of color,
black women, queer community, LGBTQ community, immigrant, they felt scene.
I am a black woman, i am a queer woman,
I'm an immigrant, I'm black, I'm a black woman, I'm
a queer immigrant, and.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I'm facing American.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Ramon's gonna be pissed that you stole as Bell. Sorry,
remind me I do.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I couldn't think of a better way to explain how
many times she was making this point.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I'm starting to get the feeling, you know, that something
that's going to of seeping into my braying.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I could be wrong, but I think Kareem John Pierre
might be a black queer woman.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I really, yeah, really, what tipped you off?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Here's my question, Now that you're done being white house
press act terry and you're just a black woman who
is queer, can.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
You get paid for that?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (17:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:04):
What is what is in the book? What could she
possibly be written in that book?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
The left has turned on her. The left is I mean,
now that you have they blame the staffers surrounding Joe
for why you lost. They blame Kamala for not being
likable enough. She wasn't likable to begin with.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Still, she's still hinting that she's not done yet and
she she might be running again here pretty soon. And everybody,
I don't know, if she's just her limited group of
friends and people that she spends time with. Are they
just all you know what they call the yes men?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Are they all just telling her how great she is
going to be? There can't be more than five people
you could find us to do that job, because everybody
agrees she is just really unlikable.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
It's a horrible human. Before we get off the black
queer woman topic. The topic, okay, can I allow me
to indulge for just a minute. Can I translate what
she's trying to say? What I think she's trying to say, Oh,
you're you're gonna Caucasius plain, I'm gonna Caucasius plain, white man,
white devil's playing for here. I think what she's trying
to say is that because she is a black queer woman,
(18:12):
it's okay that she lied because she is a black
queer woman. Okay, it is okay that she covered this
up because she is a black queer woman. It is
okay that Joe was his brain was broken here was corrupt,
he was surrounded by an aptitude.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Wasn't her job to tell us? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I mean, after all, she's a black, queer woman exactly.
Therefore it makes it okay? Would you say, ergo, ergo?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
What about I E viz A ve uh huh or
ei or e I oh yeah I E I oh?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
What are you Nelly Boo the rapper? No, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I was thinking of Nelly from a little house on
the prairie. Remember what a little bit she was. Man,
that's a bitchy little girl. I wonder what if she
ever grew up to get a job as an adult
or not, because she was really good at being a
bitchy little woman, little little girl child.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
See when I think of Nelly, I think of this.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So I'm glad I got my my Nelly instead of yours.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
