Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, it not just Monday. It's not any old Monday.
You know what today is, right.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh, it's the twelfth day of Christmas. Yeah. Yeah, it
is the first Monday of the new year, and it
is national.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Thank god, it's Monday Day. That is a thing. It
actually exists. I looked it up.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Why why do we need that? It encourages us to.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Celebrate not just the first Monday, but every Monday for
the next fifty two weeks with vigor and energy because
Monday has a bad reputation. Oh now Moonday, but Monday
marks a possibility of new beginnings, not just this first
Monday of the year, but every Monday.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah. I guess it just depends a lot on what
your life is like, you know.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
And get your attitude, get an adjustment, and get to going.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah, if you don't love your life, change your life
so you do love it, and then start to love it.
This is this is it, kids, there's no dress rehearsals.
This is the only life you're ever going to have.
Make it into something you enjoy. On a Monday morning,
start today, right or and that's the idea. I don't know.
Start with a cup of coffee. Let's face it. Baby
steps to the coffee machine. That's what I would do,
all right, So is it possible Cuba could be next?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, somebody's a little worried about Cuba. Not worried in
a bad way necessarily, but just like, well, maybe Cuba
should be worried. Trump's on Air Force One over the weekend,
having a conversation about the Monroe doctrine. You know, I
love when we get nerdy about government policy, and a
reporter tried to cause trouble between Rubio and Jadvan. She said,
(01:31):
does that seem like you're talking to Rubio more lately
and not Jadvance so much? And it's like, all right, well,
it's a diplomatic mission of sorts. I think it's got
to involve the Secretary of State.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Anyway. Trump defended both guys. He said they're both part
of the conversation, and from there the conversation moved to
what about Cuba. Sounds like Cuba's next. Columbia could be next.
He's making threats to Mexico, and you're probably wondering why
why all of this? The western half of the world
is ours. We control it, whether you like it or not.
(02:02):
You know, these are all nations that we're aligned with.
They benefit off of our economy, they benefit off of
our national security. Costa Rica doesn't have an army. Do
you know why Why Because they don't need one. They're
next to us, they live next to America. Why would
Costa Rica need an army. If you invaded Costa Rica,
we'd get involved. It's fine. They just need resorts and stuff.
(02:22):
So if that's the way it works here in the
Western Hemisphere, there is a good argument to be made
that Russia, China, you guys got to get the hell
out of here. And look, I'm not into neo con politics.
It makes me sick. But if Trump can fix Venezuela
in one weekend, I'm willing to hear what we can
do in Cuba, or Colombia or Mexico. It's interesting if
you look at a map of the political ideology of
(02:44):
South America just versus now and four years ago, four
or five, six years ago, most South American countries, when polled,
would tell you they're very far to the left, favor socialism,
strong government, that sort of thing. In just the matter
of a few years, half the continents changed, particularly because
(03:05):
of guys like Bukelli, Javier Malay, the leader of al Salvador,
the leader of Argentina. This idea of trump Republicanism in
South America is very popular, and I don't think most Americans.
I don't think most average Americans realize what's happening down there.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I guess y'all heard about Venezuela. Huh, Look who just
walked it, just stumbled up the stairs. I'm a little winded,
be honest with you. The oxygen's a little thin. I
didn't get a lot of sleep, and you boys start
mouthing off early this morning. Did you know that there
are people trying to sleep here in this building?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
You know that's kind of the catch twenty two Come
in here. Steve has this really cool cabin out in
the mountains near this really neat ski resort, and you
could come here. You could drink and eat steak and
smoke whatever you want, go skiing, and there's a lot
of people here. The only catch is at four in
the morning, we will wake you up. You like it,
so it's the given to me. Yeah, you mentioned something
(04:01):
about requesting how did you put it again?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Uh? A lot of manliness? You were you were requesting
a lot of manliness. I thought i'd just jump in
here and help out a little bit. Okay, what's going
on there? Well, we've uh, we've still got people emailing
us about you trying to change a tire. He didn't
try to change a tire.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
There was no tar.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
That's the tricky part. But now they're saying that they
want to have a three way competition between you, Joe Biden,
and that little fox down there, big Mike, to see
who who can change a tire the best.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Okay, that sounds like a pretty easy job.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You could handle that.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Uh yeah, I'm it's an interesting idea, Billy, and I'm yeah,
we can change a tire, but in order to change
a tire, we need a spare tire. I don't think
most people are understanding this story from a week ago.
To get it. A week ago, we had an incident
where a car had a flat tire and we were
shocked to learn because it was a new car, there
was no spare tire in the trunk. What to do?
(05:04):
And so then and I called the company, I you know, oh,
twenty four hour roadside assistance free with the car. The
guy comes and I was like, oh, he's gonna bring
me a tire. No, no, he took the whole car.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, it was handier to just have a tire, but
you also then you're gonna need a jack and LiOD
wrench and all that other stuff. You didn't have any
of that.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I didn't protest because I had another car. Yeah, I
was like, I guess, I mean, it's fine, I have
another car. You can take this car. That's probably the
part of the story. We didn't stress enough. It didn't
really matter in the end.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
By the way, for you morons who'd been out there
giving Trump a hard time with the you know, the TDS,
the arrangement syndrome, because a US president should never do
something like what Trump did with Venezuela. Let review just
for the idiots Obama, remember him. Obama, while he was president,
(05:53):
dropped over twenty six thousand bombs on several different sovereign
nations in his eight years as president. That's seventy two
bombs a day average. That's three bombs every hour of
his presidency. You idiots lost the argument over a decade ago.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah, if we're gonna play what about is I think
a great example today would be this long tweet from
Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders does not like when you take
out communist dictators. Senator Bernie Sanders took two x over
the weekend and he wrote, I don't know why people
do this. It's a very long social media post. Most
people are not gonna read it, but it goes into
(06:35):
details about the Monroe doctrine. We'll get nerdy on that later.
We'll explain it real quick. But before we even analyze
what he's at the legal argument here, may I remind
everybody Bernie was a senator when Obama took out Gaddafi,
the Libyan dictator. Didn't have anything to say about it.
Not a problem with that at all. No, didn't care,
not one bet no. So that's okay, this is not
(06:55):
I don't I feel like you're in a little inconsistent
in your principles here. Anyway, the Monroe doctrine, he's being
widely discussed today. But fun fact, Trump had a judge's
permission to go down to Venezuela over the weekend and
take out Maduro. And the judge that approved it was
a federal judge at Accord in New York City appointed
(07:16):
by Barack Obama. And while we're on the topic, Joe
Biden's federal government put out a twenty five million dollar
reward for any information that would lead to the arrest
of Maduro. Whatever you think about nation building in Venezuela,
you know, and never ending war, I get it. I
don't want that stuff either. But both political parties had
(07:36):
agreed that Maduro needed to be taken out of power,
and over the weekend the equivalent of that happened. I'm
curious if Kamala Harris and Pete Booty Jig and all
these other people you see on social media mouthing off
about how upset they are that Maduro is arrested over
the weekend. He's really their true core belief Why didn't
they have anything to say when Joe Biden offered a
twenty five million dollar reward for his arrest.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Well, see, they don't have true core beliefs. They have
what the media tells them. And the media will just
straight up lie to your face all over national television
and radio and wherever else you can get it on
the internet. They will just straight up live And I
don't know, I personally, I get upset when I find
(08:18):
out people have lied to me, especially that much, but
they seem to be okay with it.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, they do seem to be okay with it. It's
almost like they don't believe anything. They're just willing to
say whatever it takes to get more money in power.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
It's almost like that today up drag Walton and Johnson.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
All Right, So Trump says that we will be in
charge of Venezuela for a little while. We're gonna run it,
and I think the first step should be changing the
country's name to the Trump Venezuela Center.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I just feel like that's better. It sounds better. He
likes to put his name on stuff. It's obvious, and
that's that's a clear win for Dawn.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, why not? That is? I like it. A lot
of a Maria can tourists were stranded across the Caribbean
after the airspace was closed for the capture of Maduro. Yeah,
so you're at a club med in the Cayman Islands
or wherever you are, And that's goot. I've never been
at an airport where something. I'm sorry, all the all
the flights have been canceled. Why we just captured a
(09:19):
communist dictator. We can't have people flying around up there
right now. Well, you got to take a day or two.
You know, clear that up a little bit. Now.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
The new person that's supposed to be in charge of
Venezuela is that the girl, the woman, excuse me, the
little gal who won the Nobel Peace Prize not long
ago and then said she was just gonna dedicate it
or give it to Trump because he deserved it.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
If I'm not mistake, I think there's some confusion about that.
The woman you're talking about, that's correct, she won the
Nobel p I think she's actually the leader of the
opposition party. She's not actually the one that won the election.
I think some people were confused about that.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Maduro just took it away from her, so they got
the leader of somebody else that's going to be leader
of Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
The person you're talking about is Maria Corina Machado. I
like her, and she's got a fun name. That's a
good name. Now.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
The one that'sost to be taken over.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Now is a Rodriguez, and she endorsed a candidate named
ed Mundo Gonzalez. Ed Mundo, ed Mundo at mundl ed
Munda a hoeh ed Mundo. It's like that song from
the nineties. Never mind, anyway, I.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Can remember the nineties.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Sure, it's confusing. Now we have to learn the names
of all these Venezuelans. Maria Machado is the leading opposition figure.
She's the head of the Vente Venezuela party and she
was the twenty twenty five Peace Prize laureate. Vente Venezuela
is Machado's political party. It's a major force in the opposition.
Ed Mundo Gonzalez Rishia is the opposition's presidential candidate in
(10:54):
the disputed twenty twenty four election, But the interim president
of Venezuela as someone completely different.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
That girl's name is uh, look, rodrig del Rodriguez. Now
the Supreme Court there in Venezuela put her in charge
after the Trump coming and grabbed up Maduro. And the
first thing she did in a speech over the weekend
was condemned the capture of the Madua and his wife
said he should be returned, and said the president of
Venezuela is still Maduro. So that's who's in charge now.
(11:27):
Trump said she.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Better watch it right, and we watch out else. Do
you think we can't arrest you? Do you think I mean,
we did it with Maduro pretty easily. And what's so
frustrating about that is. Look, just a couple of years ago,
when Biden was in charge, every liberal western country on
Earth agreed that Maduro was a problem. But then TDS
(11:49):
kicked in. Trump did the thing that Biden wanted to do.
Biden put out a twenty five million dollar reward. I'm
not going to repeat that all morning, but I think
it bears mentioning at least you might need to. You
might need to. And we did the thing that Biden
claimed he wanted to do, and now they're mad about it.
Of all the people to get mad about it, I
feel like Kamala Harris should probably take a seat. You
(12:09):
were a member of his administration. Why didn't you say
anything when he put out the twenty five million dollar reward?
And somehow we did this without any Americans getting hurt.
It didn't cost us trillions of dollars. We didn't have
to lie to people about weapons of mass destruction or anything.
Of course, there was a weapon of mass destruction of
sorts boats full of fentanyl, and we could see that
(12:30):
those exist. They're real.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
You mean, those fishing boats filled with fishermen that were
just trying to put food on the table for their family.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
First, All that was that liberals on cable news tried
to make that argument, but I never actually heard anyone
say it, but I'm told they did.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
That's what we've been told by the way. Those helicopter
pilots flying into the country real quick, Let loose with
some of them rockets and whatnot. They're just trying to
put food on the table for their families. That's all
they're doing. They're doing their job, Okay, So don't be
upset about it.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, you wonder what happens now that Maduro's gone, because
if what Trump is saying is true is that the
majority of people in Venezuela didn't want Maduro, then I
can't imagine that Rodriguez, this Rodrigaz chick, is going to
stay in power very long. She's sympathetic to Maduro. You
have two popular Venezuelan political leaders from the opposition party
(13:26):
on the world stage right now who clearly have the
support of plenty of liberal governments, whether they support Trump
or not. They all claim to support her. They gave
Maria the Nobel Prize what a month ago? One that
long ago, that long ago, And those are all people
that hate Trump, but they like her. He did exactly
what they wanted. He put her party in charge. Shouldn't
they be thrilled if they believed that those elections were
(13:48):
not legitimate? What happened? Why did they change their mind
so quickly? You know the answer? Yeah? You do, Chane.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
You know why when Biden put out this tw twenty
five million dollar right, because that's just a show. They're
just putting on a show for the people. They didn't
expect anybody to actually go through with it. And then
here comes Trump. Oh what's Trump doing?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Trump has he has the power to invoke something called
the War Powers Resolution and allows him to do what
he did this week, and legally, an Obama appointed judge
gave him permission. Whether Democrats like this or not, they
voted for these laws. They agreed with these laws. They
built a system to approve these laws, and they were
fine with it. When it was Obama doing it, or
(14:30):
Biden or even George W. Bush, they didn't care that much.
They had plenty of opportunities between now and then to
change the laws. Instead of changing the laws, they took
advantage of them. They used them to take out Kadafi.
What's the difference between that and this? I won't see it. Well,
Communism and Trump and the Trump Derangement syndrome. That is,
(14:51):
apparently there is no vaccine, there is no cure. That's
sad for TDS. No, there's not no anyway it was
Would you take it? Would I take a TED? I
don't think I need it.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
No, you probably don't need it.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I'm happy to criticize Trump when he does something I
don't like, and I'm happy to praise him when he
does something I do. I'm just calling balls and strikes Bill.
Yet I'm also looking at the weather forecast right now,
and it is warm across the south.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, it's pretty warm here. I mean nineteen degrees outside
our rocky mountain studios. Nineteen might sound chilly, but not
at over what eight thousand feet in the middle of winter.
It should be about two to four degrees that's what
you should be averaging overnight here. And it's nineteen and.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It seems like could be a great time for the
climate change alarmists to come ringing in with their global
warming theories. But meanwhile, the other half the country over
on the east side, they're just getting dumped with snow
all over the place.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
It's falling on the wrong places right now. Right, Well,
we don't get to say, do we. And our listeners
in Louisiana probably don't mind. They are getting ready for
Marty Grass. Oh yeah, they got all kinds of stuff
worked up about. Like I said, today's last day at Christmas. Yeah, right,
and I think it's also is it National Divorce Day? Well,
I wouldn't doubt it. It's thank god it's Monday Day.
(16:11):
We already heard that. Yeah, I don't know what that means.
Last week last year, last Show Live was right before
New Year's Eve, and one of the last things we
talked about before we left to celebrate the new year
coming in and all and to watch a lot of
good football was Lane Kiffin stealing a grocery basket from
(16:34):
the what was it, Aldise you think.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, he went to a grocery store. He didn't want
to pay for the bags, so he stole a basket.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
And somebody sent me an email with the picture that
we looked at last week him holding the bag of
the basket. It's a little handheld basket with the groceries
and a bottle of chloracchlorox. Looks like maybe some paper towels,
maybe some trash bags. I wonder what he's got to
clean up. Is he hiding a dead body here? I'm
(17:01):
wondering about that. This weekend he made a half a
million dollars. That's what I was gonna say. He got
that basket, stole it, stole it, bar took he took
the basket away from the store.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
And there's like but but but he's rich.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
He made it besides his contract, you know, to start
with LSU. Yeah, he got half a million dollars because
that Old Miss Georgia game. That was a hell of
a game. Congratulations to old Miss for moving on. And uh,
of course you hope you make it to the National
Championship because I guess you know, they got to play
(17:36):
Miami now, and Miami is at school. I guess, you know,
people in Florida maybe like it, unless they're Florida State
fans or something. But I don't know one person that
hopes Miami wins that game.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I don't know anybody either. I think we're just on
the wrong side of the state. Are are Our fans
in Florida tend to all be on the golf coast
side and they don't really care that much about Miami.
But still you know, it's two teams from the South.
That'll be fun to work.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah, that's why that that Old Miss Georgia game was
so good. Just the SEC it's still the best football
in college football.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
For the time being.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
It seems like it's the best thing. But Oregon and
Indiana they would like to argue that. So they're gonna
play each other this week and then the winter of
that one, hopefully we'll take on Old Miss.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
What if tailgating was factored into the way that they
do the score. What if they said, all right, whichever
football team has a better tailgating party with better food,
you guys start the game with a five point lead,
or something like, well, we'd win every game.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
That's work.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I can't do Monday. That's not fun. Lowten and Johnson
Radio Network
Yeah, it not just Monday. It's not any old Monday.
You know what today is, right.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh, it's the twelfth day of Christmas. Yeah. Yeah, it
is the first Monday of the new year, and it
is national.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Thank god, it's Monday Day. That is a thing. It
actually exists. I looked it up.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Why why do we need that? It encourages us to.

You know that's kind of the catch twenty two Come
in here. Steve has this really cool cabin out in

the morning, we will wake you up. You like it,
so it's the given to me. Yeah, you mentioned something

Yeah, it was handier to just have a tire, but
you also then you're gonna need a jack and LiOD
wrench and all that other stuff. You didn't have any
of that.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I didn't protest because I had another car. Yeah, I
was like, I guess, I mean, it's fine, I have
another car. You can take this car. That's probably the
part of the story. We didn't stress enough. It didn't
really matter in the end.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
By the way, for you morons who'd been out there
giving Trump a hard time with the you know, the TDS,
the arrangement syndrome, because a US president should never do
something like what Trump did with Venezuela. Let review just
for the idiots Obama, remember him. Obama, while he was president,
(05:53):
dropped over twenty six thousand bombs on several different sovereign
nations in his eight years as president. That's seventy two
bombs a day average. That's three bombs every hour of
his presidency. You idiots lost the argument over a decade ago.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah, if we're gonna play what about is I think
a great example today would be this long tweet from
Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders does not like when you take
out communist dictators. Senator Bernie Sanders took two x over
the weekend and he wrote, I don't know why people
do this. It's a very long social media post. Most
people are not gonna read it, but it goes into
(06:35):
details about the Monroe doctrine. We'll get nerdy on that later.
We'll explain it real quick. But before we even analyze
what he's at the legal argument here, may I remind
everybody Bernie was a senator when Obama took out Gaddafi,
the Libyan dictator. Didn't have anything to say about it.
Not a problem with that at all. No, didn't care,
not one bet no. So that's okay, this is not
(06:55):
I don't I feel like you're in a little inconsistent
in your principles here. Anyway, the Monroe doctrine, he's being
widely discussed today. But fun fact, Trump had a judge's
permission to go down to Venezuela over the weekend and
take out Maduro. And the judge that approved it was
a federal judge at Accord in New York City appointed
(07:16):
by Barack Obama. And while we're on the topic, Joe
Biden's federal government put out a twenty five million dollar
reward for any information that would lead to the arrest
of Maduro. Whatever you think about nation building in Venezuela,
you know, and never ending war, I get it. I
don't want that stuff either. But both political parties had
(07:36):
agreed that Maduro needed to be taken out of power,
and over the weekend the equivalent of that happened. I'm
curious if Kamala Harris and Pete Booty Jig and all
these other people you see on social media mouthing off
about how upset they are that Maduro is arrested over
the weekend. He's really their true core belief Why didn't
they have anything to say when Joe Biden offered a
twenty five million dollar reward for his arrest.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Well, see, they don't have true core beliefs. They have
what the media tells them. And the media will just
straight up lie to your face all over national television
and radio and wherever else you can get it on
the internet. They will just straight up live And I
don't know, I personally, I get upset when I find
(08:18):
out people have lied to me, especially that much, but
they seem to be okay with it.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, they do seem to be okay with it. It's
almost like they don't believe anything. They're just willing to
say whatever it takes to get more money in power.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
It's almost like that today up drag Walton and Johnson.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
All Right, So Trump says that we will be in
charge of Venezuela for a little while. We're gonna run it,
and I think the first step should be changing the
country's name to the Trump Venezuela Center.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I just feel like that's better. It sounds better. He
likes to put his name on stuff. It's obvious, and
that's that's a clear win for Dawn.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, why not? That is? I like it. A lot
of a Maria can tourists were stranded across the Caribbean
after the airspace was closed for the capture of Maduro. Yeah,
so you're at a club med in the Cayman Islands
or wherever you are, And that's goot. I've never been
at an airport where something. I'm sorry, all the all
the flights have been canceled. Why we just captured a
(09:19):
communist dictator. We can't have people flying around up there
right now. Well, you got to take a day or two.
You know, clear that up a little bit. Now.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
The new person that's supposed to be in charge of
Venezuela is that the girl, the woman, excuse me, the
little gal who won the Nobel Peace Prize not long
ago and then said she was just gonna dedicate it
or give it to Trump because he deserved it.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
If I'm not mistake, I think there's some confusion about that.
The woman you're talking about, that's correct, she won the
Nobel p I think she's actually the leader of the
opposition party. She's not actually the one that won the election.
I think some people were confused about that.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Maduro just took it away from her, so they got
the leader of somebody else that's going to be leader
of Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
The person you're talking about is Maria Corina Machado. I
like her, and she's got a fun name. That's a
good name. Now.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
The one that'sost to be taken over.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Now is a Rodriguez, and she endorsed a candidate named
ed Mundo Gonzalez. Ed Mundo, ed Mundo at mundl ed
Munda a hoeh ed Mundo. It's like that song from
the nineties. Never mind, anyway, I.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Can remember the nineties.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Sure, it's confusing. Now we have to learn the names
of all these Venezuelans. Maria Machado is the leading opposition figure.
She's the head of the Vente Venezuela party and she
was the twenty twenty five Peace Prize laureate. Vente Venezuela
is Machado's political party. It's a major force in the opposition.
Ed Mundo Gonzalez Rishia is the opposition's presidential candidate in
(10:54):
the disputed twenty twenty four election, But the interim president
of Venezuela as someone completely different.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
That girl's name is uh, look, rodrig del Rodriguez. Now
the Supreme Court there in Venezuela put her in charge
after the Trump coming and grabbed up Maduro. And the
first thing she did in a speech over the weekend
was condemned the capture of the Madua and his wife
said he should be returned, and said the president of
Venezuela is still Maduro. So that's who's in charge now.
(11:27):
Trump said she.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Better watch it right, and we watch out else. Do
you think we can't arrest you? Do you think I mean,
we did it with Maduro pretty easily. And what's so
frustrating about that is. Look, just a couple of years ago,
when Biden was in charge, every liberal western country on
Earth agreed that Maduro was a problem. But then TDS
(11:49):
kicked in. Trump did the thing that Biden wanted to do.
Biden put out a twenty five million dollar reward. I'm
not going to repeat that all morning, but I think
it bears mentioning at least you might need to. You
might need to. And we did the thing that Biden
claimed he wanted to do, and now they're mad about it.
Of all the people to get mad about it, I
feel like Kamala Harris should probably take a seat. You
(12:09):
were a member of his administration. Why didn't you say
anything when he put out the twenty five million dollar reward?
And somehow we did this without any Americans getting hurt.
It didn't cost us trillions of dollars. We didn't have
to lie to people about weapons of mass destruction or anything.
Of course, there was a weapon of mass destruction of
sorts boats full of fentanyl, and we could see that
(12:30):
those exist. They're real.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
You mean, those fishing boats filled with fishermen that were
just trying to put food on the table for their family.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
First, All that was that liberals on cable news tried
to make that argument, but I never actually heard anyone
say it, but I'm told they did.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
That's what we've been told by the way. Those helicopter
pilots flying into the country real quick, Let loose with
some of them rockets and whatnot. They're just trying to
put food on the table for their families. That's all
they're doing. They're doing their job, Okay, So don't be
upset about it.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, you wonder what happens now that Maduro's gone, because
if what Trump is saying is true is that the
majority of people in Venezuela didn't want Maduro, then I
can't imagine that Rodriguez, this Rodrigaz chick, is going to
stay in power very long. She's sympathetic to Maduro. You
have two popular Venezuelan political leaders from the opposition party
(13:26):
on the world stage right now who clearly have the
support of plenty of liberal governments, whether they support Trump
or not. They all claim to support her. They gave
Maria the Nobel Prize what a month ago? One that
long ago, that long ago, And those are all people
that hate Trump, but they like her. He did exactly
what they wanted. He put her party in charge. Shouldn't
they be thrilled if they believed that those elections were
(13:48):
not legitimate? What happened? Why did they change their mind
so quickly? You know the answer? Yeah? You do, Chane.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
You know why when Biden put out this tw twenty
five million dollar right, because that's just a show. They're
just putting on a show for the people. They didn't
expect anybody to actually go through with it. And then
here comes Trump. Oh what's Trump doing?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Trump has he has the power to invoke something called
the War Powers Resolution and allows him to do what
he did this week, and legally, an Obama appointed judge
gave him permission. Whether Democrats like this or not, they
voted for these laws. They agreed with these laws. They
built a system to approve these laws, and they were
fine with it. When it was Obama doing it, or
(14:30):
Biden or even George W. Bush, they didn't care that much.
They had plenty of opportunities between now and then to
change the laws. Instead of changing the laws, they took
advantage of them. They used them to take out Kadafi.
What's the difference between that and this? I won't see it. Well,
Communism and Trump and the Trump Derangement syndrome. That is,
(14:51):
apparently there is no vaccine, there is no cure. That's
sad for TDS. No, there's not no anyway it was
Would you take it? Would I take a TED? I
don't think I need it.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
No, you probably don't need it.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I'm happy to criticize Trump when he does something I
don't like, and I'm happy to praise him when he
does something I do. I'm just calling balls and strikes Bill.
Yet I'm also looking at the weather forecast right now,
and it is warm across the south.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, it's pretty warm here. I mean nineteen degrees outside
our rocky mountain studios. Nineteen might sound chilly, but not
at over what eight thousand feet in the middle of winter.
It should be about two to four degrees that's what
you should be averaging overnight here. And it's nineteen and.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It seems like could be a great time for the
climate change alarmists to come ringing in with their global
warming theories. But meanwhile, the other half the country over
on the east side, they're just getting dumped with snow
all over the place.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
It's falling on the wrong places right now. Right, Well,
we don't get to say, do we. And our listeners
in Louisiana probably don't mind. They are getting ready for
Marty Grass. Oh yeah, they got all kinds of stuff
worked up about. Like I said, today's last day at Christmas. Yeah, right,
and I think it's also is it National Divorce Day? Well,
I wouldn't doubt it. It's thank god it's Monday Day.
(16:11):
We already heard that. Yeah, I don't know what that means.
Last week last year, last Show Live was right before
New Year's Eve, and one of the last things we
talked about before we left to celebrate the new year
coming in and all and to watch a lot of
good football was Lane Kiffin stealing a grocery basket from
(16:34):
the what was it, Aldise you think.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, he went to a grocery store. He didn't want
to pay for the bags, so he stole a basket.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
And somebody sent me an email with the picture that
we looked at last week him holding the bag of
the basket. It's a little handheld basket with the groceries
and a bottle of chloracchlorox. Looks like maybe some paper towels,
maybe some trash bags. I wonder what he's got to
clean up. Is he hiding a dead body here? I'm
(17:01):
wondering about that. This weekend he made a half a
million dollars. That's what I was gonna say. He got
that basket, stole it, stole it, bar took he took
the basket away from the store.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
And there's like but but but he's rich.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
He made it besides his contract, you know, to start
with LSU. Yeah, he got half a million dollars because
that Old Miss Georgia game. That was a hell of
a game. Congratulations to old Miss for moving on. And uh,
of course you hope you make it to the National
Championship because I guess you know, they got to play
(17:36):
Miami now, and Miami is at school. I guess, you know,
people in Florida maybe like it, unless they're Florida State
fans or something. But I don't know one person that
hopes Miami wins that game.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I don't know anybody either. I think we're just on
the wrong side of the state. Are are Our fans
in Florida tend to all be on the golf coast
side and they don't really care that much about Miami.
But still you know, it's two teams from the South.
That'll be fun to work.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah, that's why that that Old Miss Georgia game was
so good. Just the SEC it's still the best football
in college football.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
For the time being.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
It seems like it's the best thing. But Oregon and
Indiana they would like to argue that. So they're gonna
play each other this week and then the winter of
that one, hopefully we'll take on Old Miss.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
What if tailgating was factored into the way that they
do the score. What if they said, all right, whichever
football team has a better tailgating party with better food,
you guys start the game with a five point lead,
or something like, well, we'd win every game.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
That's work.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I can't do Monday. That's not fun. Lowten and Johnson
