Speaker 1: Where should I begin? Can we talk about this?
0:01
Speaker 2: Say?
0:02
Speaker 3: What are you trying to say?
0:03
Speaker 4: Beyond the usual controversial talking over the.
0:10
Speaker 5: Welcome to one to prepare yourself for Craig preparing deuxpect
0:19
Speaker 5: to go.
0:19
Speaker 1: Here, particulate, stimulated pit your writing there, there you go back,
0:27
Speaker 1: you start becoming a team. Is the Craigncullin Show.
0:33
Speaker 6: Jesus, oh God, no talking.
0:36
Speaker 7: This station is well the ultimate poller in the universe.
0:39
Speaker 1: Your host a man, creg This is.
0:43
Speaker 6: The Craig Collins Show, a SCV the Voice of Texas
0:47
Speaker 6: seven hundred. Am thrilled to be with you. So much
0:51
Speaker 6: stuff out there to talk about. Producer Phil is in
0:53
Speaker 6: studio taking your phone calls if anybody calls in for
0:56
Speaker 6: any reason. And Phil, you're a basketball guy. I know
1:00
Speaker 6: you're a soccer guy. You also liked the NBA, right, Yeah,
1:02
Speaker 6: for sure. So Lebron James is now a seventy six er.
1:07
Speaker 6: I'm not a huge fan of Lebron. I'm a Michael
1:10
Speaker 6: Jordan is a much better player guy other than Lebron.
1:13
Speaker 6: I know other generations are not. But I am wondering
1:16
Speaker 6: a very specific thing. It's not a sports show. A
1:18
Speaker 6: lot of listeners might not care about it, But it's
1:20
Speaker 6: been in my head for a couple of days since
1:22
Speaker 6: the announcement was made that Lebron chose to join the
1:25
Speaker 6: team he did. If he isn't the first option and
1:29
Speaker 6: he isn't the second option on a team, is he
1:32
Speaker 6: really matching Jordan if he wins a championship or two?
1:36
Speaker 6: Because I think the push that's left for Lebron he's
1:40
Speaker 6: got four, he wants six so that he can equal Jordan.
1:43
Speaker 6: But MJ was the MVP of all six of those
1:46
Speaker 6: Chicago Bulls teams that won in the finals. Is this
1:50
Speaker 6: the same? Is this more of Kobe Bryant playing with
1:52
Speaker 6: Shaquille O'Neal If they win a championship, then Lebron is
1:56
Speaker 6: option one to A and winning the championship that way.
1:58
Speaker 6: I'm just curious. I think it's not the same. I
2:01
Speaker 6: think it's still good. It still puts him in that
2:03
Speaker 6: upper echelon, and to me, Lebron is the second best
2:06
Speaker 6: player to ever play the game of basketball. He's just
2:09
Speaker 6: not MJ and not doing it, you know, as option
2:12
Speaker 6: one A means he's still not matching MJ. Even if
2:15
Speaker 6: he can win another championship or two more, which I
2:18
Speaker 6: doubt he can, but I don't know. Do you have
2:20
Speaker 6: a take on that?
2:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, honestly and truly, it's gonna be somewhat like
2:27
Speaker 1: Kobe and Shack, because I think Lebron can. To the
2:31
Speaker 1: point now you know, he's not gonna be the number
2:33
Speaker 1: one options.
2:33
Speaker 6: I think Jaalen Brown.
2:35
Speaker 1: I think he just wants to win a ring so
2:36
Speaker 1: he could at least be known as the person to
2:39
Speaker 1: go from every team he went to and win a championship.
2:42
Speaker 6: I think that's that's fair. That's fair, although I don't
2:45
Speaker 6: know because again and probably Jayalen Brown isn't even the
2:48
Speaker 6: number one option. It's Joelle Embiide if he's not hurt,
2:50
Speaker 6: and then Tyrese Maxi is also pretty good. Lebron joined
2:53
Speaker 6: another super team, and I do like something that was
2:55
Speaker 6: put out there. I don't think Shaq actually put it
2:57
Speaker 6: out at least recently. I think he set it fo
3:01
Speaker 6: Shaq said, if we were playing by the rules of
3:03
Speaker 6: current NBA in the nineties, he would have just joined
3:06
Speaker 6: the Chicago Bulls back when he left the Orlando Magic
3:09
Speaker 6: to become a Laker. Shack just would have been a
3:11
Speaker 6: Bull and then they would have won so many championships
3:16
Speaker 6: because that team would have been unbeatable with Michael Jordan
3:19
Speaker 6: and Shaquille O'Neal on it, not just Scotti Pippen. But nonetheless,
3:22
Speaker 6: I don't know. I thought it was interesting. I got
3:24
Speaker 6: a buddy that's a big Sixers fan out on the
3:26
Speaker 6: East Coast, and he's thrilled that Lebron is a seventy
3:29
Speaker 6: six Er. Now, I thought he should have gone back
3:31
Speaker 6: home and played for Cleveland. If he's going to change
3:34
Speaker 6: teams again and go somewhere, Lebron is from Cleveland, he
3:36
Speaker 6: should have gone there. There's no version of that in
3:39
Speaker 6: the current NBA. And I actually one other thing. I
3:41
Speaker 6: know it's not a sports show. I can't help myself.
3:43
Speaker 6: I'm just gonna say this. Let's say Joel Embiid is
3:46
Speaker 6: hurt because the Sixers have injury problems. Let's say Tyrese
3:49
Speaker 6: Maxi might I don't think he would, but get hurt,
3:52
Speaker 6: and all of a sudden, the Sixers are not looking
3:54
Speaker 6: like a playoff team or not looking like a legitimate
3:57
Speaker 6: a team to win a championship. Do they trade Lebron
3:59
Speaker 6: toes He demand to be traded before a deadline to
4:02
Speaker 6: get to a different team. To try to win a
4:04
Speaker 6: championship next year, Like if they're out of it, I
4:06
Speaker 6: would think Lebron wouldn't want to stay for a season
4:09
Speaker 6: that's wasted.
4:10
Speaker 1: So I feel as though he's trusting the process. Like
4:13
Speaker 1: he said right now, he did a two year deal. Yeah,
4:18
Speaker 1: I think he's just trying to figure it out, probably
4:20
Speaker 1: his first year, and if they win, they win. If
4:22
Speaker 1: they don't, he has one more year to be with
4:24
Speaker 1: the team. But yeah, as far as I concern, based
4:26
Speaker 1: on my basketball knowledge, chemistry is going to really matter
4:29
Speaker 1: and the championship because New York has a great chemistry.
4:32
Speaker 1: They do they do the next thing chemistry. So getting
4:36
Speaker 1: on the pall of what New York is right now,
4:38
Speaker 1: I think that's the only way I could see well.
4:41
Speaker 6: To be honest, I still don't think they're the best
4:43
Speaker 6: team in the league. I still think that Okac or
4:45
Speaker 6: maybe the Spurs, or the most talented team, the Knicks,
4:48
Speaker 6: or the most complete in the sense that all the
4:50
Speaker 6: players seem to be working toward the same goal in
4:52
Speaker 6: away that works. I don't know. I just I would
4:54
Speaker 6: be so interested to see, not that I'm cheering for it.
4:57
Speaker 6: If somehow the Sixers aren't the the air apparent in
5:00
Speaker 6: the Eastern Conference this year if Lebron would have a
5:03
Speaker 6: mid season trade to another contender, to like the Golden
5:06
Speaker 6: State Warriors or who knows, based on who's playing well.
5:09
Speaker 6: And you just could never see the era of Michael Jordan.
5:12
Speaker 6: Athletes like doing that, demanding trades the way they do now.
5:16
Speaker 6: It's just weird. It's just different. But we'll see and
5:19
Speaker 6: we'll see how much people credit him. But I've been
5:21
Speaker 6: thinking about that a lot more than I should be
5:23
Speaker 6: thinking about it, because, of course, there's a lot of
5:25
Speaker 6: things in the world of politics that probably matter more
5:28
Speaker 6: than Lebron James in the NBA. But I'm also a
5:31
Speaker 6: Knicks fan that wants to see them repeat as champions,
5:33
Speaker 6: and that got harder now that Lebron James is with
5:36
Speaker 6: and Jalen Brown is with the seventy six ers. All right,
5:38
Speaker 6: let's do this. Let's play some Trump audio. I got
5:41
Speaker 6: a bunch of different Trump audio out there. First, he
5:44
Speaker 6: talked about voter ID, how sacred it is, how the
5:47
Speaker 6: Democratic National Convention seems to care about voter ID, but
5:51
Speaker 6: they don't actually care about voter ID in the sense
5:53
Speaker 6: of a discussion about making it a thing that's a
5:56
Speaker 6: rule throughout the entirety of the country. Let's go ahead
5:58
Speaker 6: and play some of that audio.
6:01
Speaker 8: Save America Act through the Senate. Hopefully the Senate.
6:06
Speaker 7: Come on you senators and put pressure on them.
6:10
Speaker 8: We won't get one Democrat senator to get you voter
6:14
Speaker 8: ID with photo.
6:16
Speaker 6: Need a photo?
6:16
Speaker 7: Be nice?
6:17
Speaker 8: So they okay, good? You know they want to if
6:19
Speaker 8: they did ID, which they don't want to do.
6:21
Speaker 7: They don't want to photo. Why don't they want to?
6:23
Speaker 1: You know what?
6:23
Speaker 8: The Democrat National Convention, they had an identification card that
6:28
Speaker 8: was bigger than most of the people's chests. It was
6:32
Speaker 8: hung on a chain with a picture and every fact
6:36
Speaker 8: about this person you can imagine. But for voting, our
6:39
Speaker 8: most secret thing. You don't need they say, voter ID.
6:43
Speaker 8: So we want voter photo.
6:45
Speaker 1: We do ID well.
6:46
Speaker 6: And what's funny is, as he says that most Americans
6:49
Speaker 6: agree with him, this is not a inherently left or
6:51
Speaker 6: right issue. It's an issue that most people don't seem
6:54
Speaker 6: to understand why there's any debate at all about it.
6:58
Speaker 6: President Trump in this speech also said something about his
7:02
Speaker 6: state of the Union and how there will never be
7:05
Speaker 6: communism in this country and now all of a sudden,
7:07
Speaker 6: there might be communism in this country. I know President
7:10
Speaker 6: Trump did the White House Correspondence dinner on Friday night,
7:14
Speaker 6: and I talked about it filling in on the Data
7:16
Speaker 6: Show and Chris Ax talked about it. I'm already moving
7:18
Speaker 6: on for this show to the next thing he's done,
7:22
Speaker 6: which was something he did today as he spoke in
7:24
Speaker 6: battleground states. I think this was in Michigan as well,
7:27
Speaker 6: but here this is part of what President Trump said
7:30
Speaker 6: about his State of the Union address and about how
7:33
Speaker 6: communism is becoming more of a reality on the left
7:36
Speaker 6: all the time.
7:37
Speaker 8: If they're siding with the radical left, communists taking over
7:40
Speaker 8: the party they want, in other words, the normal socialists
7:44
Speaker 8: who can destroy a country too.
7:48
Speaker 7: They're not going fast though.
7:49
Speaker 8: Do you remember, like in one of my States of
7:50
Speaker 8: the Union speach, I said, we will never be a
7:54
Speaker 8: socialist country.
7:55
Speaker 9: But I was right, We're going to.
7:57
Speaker 7: Be a communist country. I skipped socialism.
8:00
Speaker 6: You did. It's crazy.
8:02
Speaker 7: But communism is.
8:03
Speaker 8: The greatest threat to our country in history, including even
8:07
Speaker 8: World War One, World War two, Pearl Harbor or nine
8:11
Speaker 8: to eleven.
8:11
Speaker 7: I mean, this is a serious threat.
8:13
Speaker 6: He is right, it is a serious threat. So I
8:16
Speaker 6: do want to play audio that's definitely been making the
8:18
Speaker 6: rounds all over the place today, and it's the crazy
8:21
Speaker 6: co chair of the Democratic Socialists of America that party.
8:25
Speaker 6: She was on with Shannon Breem, who has a radio
8:28
Speaker 6: show that airs I think on weekends on this radio station.
8:32
Speaker 6: But anyway, Shannon did the most obvious thing that you
8:35
Speaker 6: can do with anybody who's a co chair of something
8:38
Speaker 6: like the Democratic Socialists of America. You ask very simple
8:42
Speaker 6: yes or no questions, now, I'll tell you, and I
8:45
Speaker 6: talked about this on Dana show too. By and large,
8:48
Speaker 6: when people are trapped into yes or nos and they
8:51
Speaker 6: don't want to answer the yes or nos, the person
8:53
Speaker 6: avoids the questions. They try to nuance them in some way.
8:56
Speaker 6: What's amazing about this video and this audio that's making
9:00
Speaker 6: the rounds everywhere is this person didn't care to do that.
9:03
Speaker 6: She said pretty blatantly that there was a certain amount
9:07
Speaker 6: of things that they are definitely four within the Democrat
9:10
Speaker 6: Socialists of America party, and one of those things is
9:14
Speaker 6: literally communism, like there's no other way to describe it.
9:16
Speaker 6: A lot of them are tenants of communism and tenants
9:20
Speaker 6: of things that are very bad for our society. But
9:23
Speaker 6: the last one of this list, it's surreal to hear
9:26
Speaker 6: her say yes to it. So this isn't my opinion.
9:30
Speaker 6: This is coming from the horse's mouth. This is coming
9:32
Speaker 6: from a person who believes the things they're saying and
9:35
Speaker 6: how crazy they are here of.
9:36
Speaker 10: Your platform, and I want to ask you just give
9:38
Speaker 10: me sort of a true false on these. Abolish the Senate, true, okay.
9:44
Speaker 10: Replace the Presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them.
9:48
Speaker 7: Yep.
9:49
Speaker 10: Abolish ice. Absolutely, abolish borders and give amnesty to anyone
9:56
Speaker 10: currently in the US illegally.
9:57
Speaker 6: All borders as a long time plan.
10:00
Speaker 9: Yep.
10:01
Speaker 10: Defund the Pentagon. Absolutely, abolish prisons, at least in large part.
10:09
Speaker 4: Yeah again, as part of a long term program.
10:12
Speaker 10: Yeah, okay, so no prisons. Government or public ownership of
10:15
Speaker 10: most large corporations.
10:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, Okay.
10:20
Speaker 6: So let's severate it. She said yes absolutely to the
10:25
Speaker 6: idea of government ownership of most corporations, own the means
10:30
Speaker 6: to production, which is communism one to one. That's the
10:33
Speaker 6: first basic. Essentially, the government has to take control over everything,
10:37
Speaker 6: and then there's no one you can turn to but
10:39
Speaker 6: the government for anything, and then you're screwed. Then you
10:42
Speaker 6: and everybody else in society gets almost nothing. And the
10:46
Speaker 6: people that are elite and in DC in this case,
10:49
Speaker 6: if they got what they wanted, they keep everything. It
10:52
Speaker 6: gets worse, not better. All the young people who think
10:55
Speaker 6: this is a great idea and believe that they can
10:58
Speaker 6: trust government enough to hand them more things. It's so illogical.
11:04
Speaker 6: It is shocking to me. But that's not all. My
11:08
Speaker 6: favorite part of the interview, too, is when she says
11:11
Speaker 6: early on they want to abolish the Senate. They believe
11:13
Speaker 6: it's not representative of the United States. And so Shannon
11:16
Speaker 6: Breem says, they're senators that think they're democratic socialists or
11:20
Speaker 6: they think they support your movement, so they don't have
11:24
Speaker 6: jobs anymore. If you're saying that you would like to
11:26
Speaker 6: replace them, So how does that work If you're firing
11:30
Speaker 6: some senators that you kind of need support from, what
11:34
Speaker 6: does that look like? And have they heard that part
11:36
Speaker 6: of the message before?
11:37
Speaker 4: And I thought this was amazing to me that it
11:39
Speaker 4: is an anachronistic institution. It comes from the British House
11:44
Speaker 4: of Lords. It is made to protect power for you know,
11:49
Speaker 4: the Senate was part of the system that was made
11:53
Speaker 4: to make sure that the people didn't have too much
11:55
Speaker 4: of us. Say, so, we want to expand Congress significantly,
11:59
Speaker 4: but make it a uni cameral legislature.
12:00
Speaker 10: Okay, and without the presidency and Supreme Court so well,
12:02
Speaker 10: abolish Ice, would there be any enforcement of immigration laws?
12:05
Speaker 10: Or with abolishing the border, we're not enforcing immigration laws,
12:09
Speaker 10: they go away.
12:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
12:12
Speaker 4: So again, this is part of this longer term plan
12:14
Speaker 4: and part of it.
12:15
Speaker 6: And if you can get this, think yeah. I mean,
12:19
Speaker 6: if we can get to the.
12:19
Speaker 4: Place where the US is not destabilizing countries in order
12:23
Speaker 4: to mine them for resources, there will be significantly less migration.
12:28
Speaker 11: What do you say to them or not?
12:30
Speaker 6: Oh, I gotta jump in because I love this part too.
12:33
Speaker 6: The belief is essentially that the United States is the
12:37
Speaker 6: reason that everywhere else that sucks to live. It's our fault.
12:41
Speaker 6: It sucks because of us, and if we stop making
12:44
Speaker 6: them suck, the rest of the places in the world
12:46
Speaker 6: would be great.
12:46
Speaker 11: Now.
12:47
Speaker 6: I can only speak of one specific place when I
12:50
Speaker 6: talk about this issue because I only really know firsthand
12:53
Speaker 6: one experience. I lived in Mexico for multiple months. I
12:57
Speaker 6: talk to people in Mexico all the time. My wife
12:59
Speaker 6: is from Mexico. I understand one of the largest problems
13:03
Speaker 6: in Mexico is the cartel, and I also understand I'll
13:06
Speaker 6: go a step further and even be fair in this
13:09
Speaker 6: discussion that they blame the United States people there do
13:12
Speaker 6: because they say, we're the ones who have an appetite
13:14
Speaker 6: for drugs. We buy drugs, so drugs come up from Mexico,
13:19
Speaker 6: which creates the financial value of the drug cartel. Now
13:22
Speaker 6: I don't know if that's specifically true. I do know
13:25
Speaker 6: where a much richer country than Mexico is, so if
13:28
Speaker 6: drugs are expensive here, we can afford them more than
13:31
Speaker 6: other places can. But nonetheless, none of the Democratic Socialists
13:34
Speaker 6: of America's policies try to fix that problem. They just
13:39
Speaker 6: say that by us being less terrible, by us not
13:42
Speaker 6: enforcing any sort of desire for any other country to
13:45
Speaker 6: do things that we want them to do, that everybody
13:48
Speaker 6: would just stay where they are. And it's surreal and
13:51
Speaker 6: it actually reminds me of the audio I played on
13:54
Speaker 6: Friday of another Democratic socialist who is saying that people
13:57
Speaker 6: flee countries because of American influence and the capitalistic society
14:03
Speaker 6: that we force down the throats of other people, which
14:06
Speaker 6: again I don't think is true. They just say it.
14:08
Speaker 6: And my favorite part of that is then they say
14:10
Speaker 6: where they flee to, And so someone running away from
14:13
Speaker 6: the ideals of the United States goes to the United
14:17
Speaker 6: States to live here without the status to do it.
14:20
Speaker 6: That also makes absolutely no sense, and it's part of
14:24
Speaker 6: their twisted, confused, ridiculous logic. But it's amazing to hear
14:28
Speaker 6: this woman who is a co chair of that party
14:32
Speaker 6: say on a television interview with Fox News that she
14:35
Speaker 6: absolutely wants to do away with so many of these things.
14:38
Speaker 6: Prisons is the one that terrifies most common sense Democrats
14:43
Speaker 6: if that even still exists. It feels like that doesn't
14:45
Speaker 6: exist at all. But case in point, Ram Emmanuel, a
14:49
Speaker 6: political strategist once the mayor of Chicago, not a guy
14:53
Speaker 6: that I agree with on a lot, seem to at
14:55
Speaker 6: least understand how terrible of an idea is to have
14:58
Speaker 6: democratic socialist him take over the Democratic Party because it's
15:04
Speaker 6: gonna go bad, not good. Here's rom talking about this.
15:08
Speaker 2: Is that helpful for Democrats trying to win elections?
15:13
Speaker 11: That can't be a pop quiz question. Of course, no,
15:16
Speaker 11: it's not helpful. And as you saw tying that also
15:19
Speaker 11: to what Donald Trump just said, Look, two thousand and
15:23
Speaker 11: six and twenty six match up perfectly as referendums. There
15:27
Speaker 11: was an unpopular war in two thousand and six, unpopular
15:30
Speaker 11: war today. There was corruption everywhere from the House of
15:33
Speaker 11: Tom delaybill to what the Trump family with mcoff family
15:37
Speaker 11: and Lutnik family are doing, in the sense of just
15:39
Speaker 11: literally in broad daylight taking money out of the bank,
15:43
Speaker 11: out of the treasury. You also had spiking gas prices,
15:46
Speaker 11: spiking gas prices. This election is set up, casey to
15:49
Speaker 11: be a referendum on Donald Trump's corruption and his inability
15:52
Speaker 11: to manage the economy to make people's lives better. Anything
15:56
Speaker 11: that distracts from that means you're helping Donald Trump DSA
16:00
Speaker 11: and that agendas laid out does not play anywhere except
16:05
Speaker 11: for maybe on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Look
16:08
Speaker 11: at that part, and anytime a Democrat anywhere in a
16:10
Speaker 11: red to blue district has to either distinguish themselves rather
16:14
Speaker 11: than prosecute that the Republican would be a rubber stamp
16:17
Speaker 11: for Donald Trump. Is a dollar wasted allowing us to
16:21
Speaker 11: not only get a majority, but more importantly, to then
16:23
Speaker 11: pass finally after twenty years, I mean a.
16:25
Speaker 6: Wage increase Yeah, So basically what he's saying there while
16:28
Speaker 6: crapping all over President Trump because rom has to do that,
16:32
Speaker 6: and that almost feels like, now that's old school Democrat.
16:35
Speaker 6: Just blame Trump for everything, attack Trump, and try it
16:38
Speaker 6: out to go any further. Definitely, don't go into the
16:40
Speaker 6: world of being a crazy socialist, communist human because that
16:45
Speaker 6: doesn't seem to be helping anyone. But what's amazing to
16:47
Speaker 6: me about what Rob Manuel says there is that essentially
16:51
Speaker 6: he believes this continued push for these radical ideas from
16:55
Speaker 6: the left will actually be the reason that they slip
16:58
Speaker 6: and fall at the finish line and do not win
17:00
Speaker 6: races a whole lot of races in the mid term
17:03
Speaker 6: election and then even more so probably in the election
17:07
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty eight, the presidential election. I had Ben
17:10
Speaker 6: Strusan on Dana's show last week. I think it was
17:13
Speaker 6: early on in the week too. I think it might
17:14
Speaker 6: have even been Monday, so it might be a week ago.
17:16
Speaker 6: And I probably should replay that interview here because one
17:19
Speaker 6: thing I liked that Ben said a lot was that
17:22
Speaker 6: at some point the Democratic establishment version of candidates that
17:27
Speaker 6: still wield a ton of power in the Democratic Party
17:30
Speaker 6: are going to tell the Socialists to shut up because
17:33
Speaker 6: they want the Socialists to win races. They don't want
17:36
Speaker 6: the Socialists to actually tell them what policies we should
17:39
Speaker 6: enact and which ones we shouldn't. It's very similar to
17:42
Speaker 6: the Tea Party movement of yesteryear in the sense that
17:45
Speaker 6: you want people with radical ideas to win races, you
17:48
Speaker 6: don't actually want them to decide what you do as
17:51
Speaker 6: far as governing the country. Because again, one of those concepts,
17:55
Speaker 6: according to the Democratic Socialists, is that you upend the
17:57
Speaker 6: Senate entirely, so all the senators five, which would be
18:01
Speaker 6: incredible to watch happen. Like I wouldn't hate that. I
18:04
Speaker 6: don't hate a lot of like I would hate the
18:06
Speaker 6: reason why they're doing it, but I don't hate just
18:08
Speaker 6: firing a bunch of politicians if we can replace them
18:11
Speaker 6: with ones that actually do the job correctly, which I
18:14
Speaker 6: don't think we have, and I don't think we consolidate
18:16
Speaker 6: more power in the House and change with the House
18:19
Speaker 6: like they're just insane. But anyway, the thing I believe,
18:23
Speaker 6: and this is similar to what Ben was talking about
18:25
Speaker 6: Ben Strusan last week on Dana Show, is that the
18:29
Speaker 6: crazy socialist people who get elected. They're not gonna shut up.
18:33
Speaker 6: They're gonna yell louder. They're gonna do it on all
18:35
Speaker 6: their social media platforms that they can. And if they
18:38
Speaker 6: truly garner a significant amount of support in these raises
18:42
Speaker 6: they won, they win. They are going to detrimentally harm
18:45
Speaker 6: I think the Democratic Party as a whole. But this
18:48
Speaker 6: is something we have to see play out in twenty
18:51
Speaker 6: twenty six, well in the end of this year, I
18:53
Speaker 6: should say, in November of this year, and then in
18:55
Speaker 6: twenty twenty eight. We have to see if these candidates
18:58
Speaker 6: can win races Beyoncey the upper parts of Manhattan where
19:03
Speaker 6: overwhelmingly people voted for zoron Mumdami. If they can do that,
19:07
Speaker 6: then they have completely taken over the Democratic Party and
19:12
Speaker 6: damage to our country as we know it is absolutely
19:16
Speaker 6: what is on the table. They desire to upend everything,
19:20
Speaker 6: and they want to give the means of production to
19:22
Speaker 6: the government, and they don't even lie about that, which
19:26
Speaker 6: to me is amazing that they essentially go oh yeah,
19:29
Speaker 6: down with all the companies up, with the government having
19:31
Speaker 6: control of everything. No way there's any example of how
19:35
Speaker 6: that goes horribly wrong again and again and again. One
19:38
Speaker 6: last thing I want to play before we take our
19:40
Speaker 6: first break. It is Zoron Mumdami out of New York.
19:44
Speaker 6: He was asked a question about Benjamin Nett Yahoo responding
19:47
Speaker 6: to him. So, to be fair, the right way to
19:50
Speaker 6: talk about this is that Zoron, for about a couple weeks,
19:54
Speaker 6: claimed that he wanted to arrest Benjamin net Yahoo and
19:57
Speaker 6: that he was spending a bunch of money resources on
20:01
Speaker 6: the taxpayer's diamond New York to figure out if legally
20:04
Speaker 6: he could, which he couldn't, and anyone that didn't use
20:07
Speaker 6: those resources knew that he had no standing to do it.
20:11
Speaker 6: But nonetheless that all happened. And now benjaminittyaw who was
20:14
Speaker 6: responding to him, and the crazy stuff he said, And
20:17
Speaker 6: this is the most obvious political theater answer you can
20:21
Speaker 6: ever get from someone. Zoran now says he doesn't want
20:24
Speaker 6: to talk about or to not nt Yahoo anymore through
20:27
Speaker 6: the press. So when he wants to attack somebody and
20:31
Speaker 6: insinuate that he might arrest somebody that he'd have no
20:34
Speaker 6: authority to arrest, that's fine. But when this leader responds
20:38
Speaker 6: to him in media, he needs to stop talking about this.
20:40
Speaker 6: I'd rather move on at this. How dare everybody bring
20:43
Speaker 6: this up again? This just happened, and yet he's already
20:47
Speaker 6: trying to do something else, as he's proud of all
20:49
Speaker 6: the reduced prices in grocery stores that he's claiming he's
20:52
Speaker 6: a part of. And a big portion of what's going
20:55
Speaker 6: on in New York is an attempt to buy up
20:57
Speaker 6: grocery stores through the government, which should also it'll be terrifying,
21:00
Speaker 6: but here we go. I, may Or, I was just
21:02
Speaker 6: wondering if you could also respond to Prime Minister Netanyah,
21:06
Speaker 6: who's comments on Fox I don't know.
21:08
Speaker 12: If you saw them twenty four hours ago or so,
21:10
Speaker 12: saying that you, in fact were fermenting hate. It was
21:12
Speaker 12: brought up in the context of the Upper West Side
21:15
Speaker 12: attack that is suspected to be a hate crime. I'm
21:18
Speaker 12: wondering what you make of his comments, and if you
21:20
Speaker 12: have spoken to any federal officials, including President Trump, about
21:23
Speaker 12: your call to accept the ICC and arrest him.
21:28
Speaker 9: So I'm not interested in getting into a back and
21:31
Speaker 9: forth with Prime Minister net Nyaho. What I will say
21:34
Speaker 9: is that here in New York City, one of my
21:37
Speaker 9: top priorities is keeping Jewish New Yorker safe keeping every
21:41
Speaker 9: single New Yorker safe.
21:42
Speaker 6: How would be my question to you, because it doesn't
21:44
Speaker 6: seem like he's doing that part at all with what
21:47
Speaker 6: he says about Israel specifically. But it's so convenient to
21:51
Speaker 6: say that, I don't really want to talk to net
21:52
Speaker 6: Yahoo through you. I just want to talk to net
21:56
Speaker 6: Yaho through you when I decide to do it. I
21:58
Speaker 6: don't want you to have to relay messages from him
22:01
Speaker 6: back to me and then make me respond to those.
22:03
Speaker 6: I want this to be a one sided version of
22:05
Speaker 6: a discussion that I fully control, because it's not about
22:08
Speaker 6: trying to come to an understanding with someone. It is
22:11
Speaker 6: about attacking them and thus attacking anybody who is within
22:15
Speaker 6: that group of people, which is the thing that the
22:19
Speaker 6: left usually cares about, but here not so much. All right,
22:22
Speaker 6: quick break, a lot coming up.
22:23
Speaker 1: Johnny B is not the only one who's surprised.
22:26
Speaker 3: You would be looking at all the news coverage, would
22:28
Speaker 3: be looking at all the polling and President Trump, and
22:30
Speaker 3: you would think that Democrats would be able to take
22:32
Speaker 3: advantage and be dominating Republicans when it comes to who
22:35
Speaker 3: is trusted to handle the run war.
22:37
Speaker 1: That, simply put, is not the case at all.
22:39
Speaker 3: I mean these numbers shockga trust Dems are Republicans on
22:42
Speaker 3: the run cord to c MBC earlier this month. You think, okay,
22:45
Speaker 3: that's one poll the Republicans trusted by two points. But
22:47
Speaker 3: then CBS News comes out yesterday and what do you see.
22:50
Speaker 3: You see the exact same thing. Trump and the Republicans
22:54
Speaker 3: take the cake. They are trusted by two points on run. Now,
22:56
Speaker 3: one poll is one thing, but you put the two
22:58
Speaker 3: of them together and you can see that the American people,
23:00
Speaker 3: simply put, are not buying what Democrats are selling on Iran.
23:05
Speaker 3: They still trust Republicans more. Even if you look at
23:08
Speaker 3: President Trump's approval ratings on the subject and they're negative two.
23:11
Speaker 3: But yet Republicans and Trump still more trusted than Democrats
23:14
Speaker 3: are in Iran.
23:15
Speaker 6: I love that Harryton is crazy on this topic. This
23:18
Speaker 6: is the Craig Collins show, KSV seven hundred AM, the
23:22
Speaker 6: Voice of Texas. Yeah, there's a reason that Republicans are
23:26
Speaker 6: more trusted than Democrats on this. It's because Democrats' way
23:29
Speaker 6: of talking is that we need to completely strip any
23:32
Speaker 6: and all support of Israel and to blame Israel for
23:34
Speaker 6: the fight between US and Iran. Even though Iran has
23:37
Speaker 6: been using proxy forces to kill Americans for a long
23:40
Speaker 6: time and even still has declared war on US multiple times,
23:44
Speaker 6: like the fight is direct and they pretend it's not,
23:47
Speaker 6: which is crazy, but actually to even dive deeper into
23:50
Speaker 6: that data because it was interesting. There was a poll
23:52
Speaker 6: that came out that said that many Americans are confused
23:56
Speaker 6: or frustrated about the ongoing conflict between the United States
24:00
Speaker 6: and Iran, but not necessarily no longer in support of
24:05
Speaker 6: what the President is doing or what we are doing,
24:08
Speaker 6: which I thought was pretty valuable in the ongoing discussion
24:12
Speaker 6: about this topic. Most Americans aren't sure what to think,
24:16
Speaker 6: They're not sure who to trust, They're not sure what
24:18
Speaker 6: to believe. And so this is more from that CBS
24:21
Speaker 6: News poll that I thought was amazing. Fifty eight percent
24:25
Speaker 6: of people are uncertain of what their feelings are about
24:29
Speaker 6: the conflict between the United States and Iran. Fifty seven
24:32
Speaker 6: percent are frustrated, as I said, thirty six or pessimistic.
24:36
Speaker 6: In nineteen percent are optimistic. This is irrelevant to political
24:40
Speaker 6: party when the conflict. When they asked if the conflict
24:44
Speaker 6: was harder than the Trump administration expected it to be,
24:47
Speaker 6: seventy six percent of people said yeah, because obviously it
24:51
Speaker 6: was twenty percent said this is about what they expected.
24:54
Speaker 6: In four percent actually said that it's been easier than
24:57
Speaker 6: what is expected, and this was to me the most
25:00
Speaker 6: interesting piece of information from the polling. Americans were also
25:05
Speaker 6: asked to rank by level of importance what is most
25:09
Speaker 6: important regarding this conflict, regarding this fight and the world, Like,
25:14
Speaker 6: what do you care most about? Number one, eighty six
25:16
Speaker 6: percent of respondents said, very important to open the Strait
25:20
Speaker 6: of Hormus and have access to oil. I understand why
25:22
Speaker 6: we said that. We all believe that, and that is
25:25
Speaker 6: true because we want oil prices to be lower. But
25:27
Speaker 6: number two on this list, seventy nine percent of people
25:31
Speaker 6: also said it was very important to make sure Iran's
25:34
Speaker 6: people are safe and free. And Iran's people are not
25:38
Speaker 6: safe and they're not free unless we keep fighting this fight.
25:42
Speaker 6: So I thought that was fascinating. And then finally, seventy
25:44
Speaker 6: six percent of respondents to the CBS News pull said
25:50
Speaker 6: make sure to permanently stop Iran and their nuclear program.
25:54
Speaker 6: Seventy six percent of Americans. I assume a lot of
25:58
Speaker 6: Democrats were not on that list, but it can't be
26:00
Speaker 6: none because that's not how that works. A lot of independence,
26:03
Speaker 6: I assume, almost all conservatives, but it didn't break down
26:07
Speaker 6: like that. In general, three fourths of the country believe
26:11
Speaker 6: that a nuclear Iran is a threat and we should
26:13
Speaker 6: do what we can to remove that threat. Now, I
26:16
Speaker 6: don't know if they dove deeper into the question. I
26:19
Speaker 6: don't see it within the stuff that went viral that
26:22
Speaker 6: I found if they thought that Iran was close to
26:24
Speaker 6: a nuclear weapon or not, but simplistically stating, they're much
26:28
Speaker 6: closer than they were a set of years ago, how
26:30
Speaker 6: much closer they were when they first created a deal
26:32
Speaker 6: with Barack Obama that they then ignored to get closer
26:35
Speaker 6: and closer to a nuclear weapon. So it's fascinating to
26:38
Speaker 6: hear people say basically a reflection of what the Trump
26:43
Speaker 6: administration is operating on that people actually do agree with
26:46
Speaker 6: and believe a lot of the things that they are
26:49
Speaker 6: doing are things that matter. And here's what I'll say
26:51
Speaker 6: is most intriguing to me about the conflict in Iran,
26:55
Speaker 6: and that second stat that I gave to you, the
26:58
Speaker 6: overwhelming amount of Americans, more than any eighty percent of
27:00
Speaker 6: Americans who think the Iranian people being free and safe
27:05
Speaker 6: is vitally important. They say they care about it, probably
27:08
Speaker 6: as much as they care about, say, supporting Ukraine against Russia,
27:12
Speaker 6: whatever it might be, supporting the Iranian people against the
27:15
Speaker 6: terrorist regime that controls the place. What I think is
27:18
Speaker 6: amazing about that is that if that were the focal
27:22
Speaker 6: point of this discussion by mainstream news media that can
27:26
Speaker 6: choose to focus on whatever they want, there would be
27:29
Speaker 6: so much more praise for the actions being taken by
27:32
Speaker 6: this president. But they can't do that because they hate
27:34
Speaker 6: the guy. But if it were a Democrat in office,
27:38
Speaker 6: if it were a sleepy Joe Biden or auto pen
27:41
Speaker 6: Joe Biden when he was in charge, fighting this fight
27:44
Speaker 6: and giving the American people that reason for doing it.
27:48
Speaker 6: We're trying to prop up the Iranian people so that
27:50
Speaker 6: they can revolt and overthrow the dictatorship that exists in
27:53
Speaker 6: their country, the terrorists that are in charge. They're the
27:57
Speaker 6: oppressive regime that's mass killing innocent civilians. If that was
28:02
Speaker 6: the discussion, even if it wasn't true, Like the funniest
28:04
Speaker 6: part about it saying it that way is, even if
28:07
Speaker 6: we were just after oil, whatever terrible reason they want
28:10
Speaker 6: to accuse the United States of fighting the fights we fight.
28:13
Speaker 6: If they sold it to the American people that way
28:15
Speaker 6: and they wanted to prop up the person in power,
28:18
Speaker 6: this obvious template exists, but it would never be the
28:21
Speaker 6: way that this goes because of the wrong person being
28:24
Speaker 6: in charge. But it's just amazing to see that capability,
28:28
Speaker 6: to see that inevitable reality in these pulls that are
28:33
Speaker 6: demonstrated to the political strategists out there, because the Democrats
28:37
Speaker 6: could have waged this war a while ago and claimed
28:40
Speaker 6: that it was for strictly humanitarian reasons and people singing
28:44
Speaker 6: from the rooftops how great they are even as gas
28:46
Speaker 6: prices went up. And it's also, I'll just say this,
28:50
Speaker 6: it's also a thing we're doing. By fighting this fight
28:52
Speaker 6: the way that we're fighting it and refusing to allow
28:55
Speaker 6: this regime to get whatever they want without giving in
28:58
Speaker 6: it all, we are essentially demonstrating to the Iranian people
29:01
Speaker 6: that there's a fight worth having here and if they
29:04
Speaker 6: want and Jadvans has said this multiple times, they could
29:08
Speaker 6: try to go that road and we would support them
29:10
Speaker 6: in that effort. All right, Another thing in the world
29:13
Speaker 6: of politics that I think is pretty interesting and broke
29:17
Speaker 6: just a couple hours ago today, President Donald Trump has
29:20
Speaker 6: asked the US Supreme Court to uphold his executive action
29:24
Speaker 6: that would have limited the way that people could mail ballots,
29:28
Speaker 6: or actually, I should state this differently, the way in
29:31
Speaker 6: which states could send ballots to citizens or non citizens
29:35
Speaker 6: in a lot of cases and then get those ballots back.
29:38
Speaker 6: So the President of the United States took an executive
29:40
Speaker 6: action that attempted to curtail people from being given access
29:46
Speaker 6: to a ballot that didn't deserve it, and in most cases,
29:49
Speaker 6: people who are here illegally but somehow wound up on
29:52
Speaker 6: a voter registration card of some kind. And so the
29:56
Speaker 6: proposal by the Trump administration was to create a mass
30:00
Speaker 6: list of citizens that could or couldn't vote, force all
30:03
Speaker 6: of the states via the US Postal Service, to follow
30:07
Speaker 6: this list of people who are in fact citizens, and
30:09
Speaker 6: they're the only people who'd proactively be reached out to
30:12
Speaker 6: via a vote by mail offer. In doing that, you
30:16
Speaker 6: would essentially try to make sure that anyone who's voting
30:20
Speaker 6: is in fact allowed to do it. And a bunch
30:22
Speaker 6: of states fought this, including the District of Columbia too,
30:26
Speaker 6: but a bunch of age sued. They fought it, and
30:28
Speaker 6: a federal judge paused President Trump's executive order, saying that
30:33
Speaker 6: essentially it can't be enacted, can't happen at least in
30:36
Speaker 6: twenty twenty six. Now, what I think is amazing about
30:39
Speaker 6: this story is that if you read a left leaning
30:42
Speaker 6: news organization, the way that they write this is President
30:46
Speaker 6: Trump is asking the Supreme Court to stop mail in balloting.
30:50
Speaker 6: That's essentially the message. In some form or another you
30:54
Speaker 6: will read or hear from some of these mainstream outlets
30:57
Speaker 6: and cable news outlets and other places that President Trump
31:01
Speaker 6: is trying to use the Supreme Court to stop all
31:04
Speaker 6: mail in balloting of any kind, which is such a
31:07
Speaker 6: ridiculous exaggeration and completely untrue of what's actually happening, that
31:12
Speaker 6: it deserves to be to be frankly told to you
31:16
Speaker 6: exactly what the cause is or the idea is, and
31:19
Speaker 6: how they're going about doing it. And the US Postal
31:21
Speaker 6: Service is uniquely helpful in this world in how much
31:25
Speaker 6: information they already have on all of the people who
31:28
Speaker 6: live here, and how compiling an additional set of data
31:31
Speaker 6: that confirms who the citizens are among us like, there's
31:35
Speaker 6: nothing horrible about that. From my understanding. It streamlines the
31:41
Speaker 6: voting process quite a bit. And if it's something that
31:45
Speaker 6: a lot of people say isn't actually happening, like nobody
31:47
Speaker 6: who's here without the right to be here is voting,
31:50
Speaker 6: then why does anyone care? That's simplistically the way to
31:54
Speaker 6: say it, Like, why why would you care if someone
31:56
Speaker 6: creates a list excuse me for something that you're saying
31:59
Speaker 6: won't act actually impact anything. And that's the problem with
32:02
Speaker 6: the democratic response to this. So very often they actually
32:06
Speaker 6: seem to be saying that this would have a detrimental
32:08
Speaker 6: impact on our elections without explaining what they mean, because
32:14
Speaker 6: why would it If you have the right to vote
32:17
Speaker 6: and you are motivated to try and vote in this country,
32:20
Speaker 6: even after the executive order of the president that was
32:23
Speaker 6: paused in a federal court, there's nothing preventing you from
32:27
Speaker 6: voting if you have the right to do it, and
32:29
Speaker 6: if you have the desire to do it, you can
32:31
Speaker 6: do it like nothing stops there. The only thing being
32:34
Speaker 6: impacted are people who are asked to vote by mail
32:38
Speaker 6: and proactively, you know, given an opportunity to do that,
32:42
Speaker 6: unless we are sure that their assiden Like, how is
32:44
Speaker 6: that bad? How is that wrong at all? It's certainly
32:47
Speaker 6: not as strong at protecting our elections, as the Save
32:52
Speaker 6: Act is, but at least it's something, and they won't
32:55
Speaker 6: do that. They refuse that. And you ask yourself, I
32:58
Speaker 6: ask myself, why none of the answers that you come
33:01
Speaker 6: up with make any sense, because darn ittt the Democratic
33:04
Speaker 6: Socialists are talking about overthrowing and upending everything, which should
33:08
Speaker 6: also be terrifying. All right, one last thing I do
33:10
Speaker 6: want to play before we take a break. We'll come
33:13
Speaker 6: back and we'll have some fun, mostly because I've been
33:15
Speaker 6: doing three four six hours a day of political talk,
33:20
Speaker 6: mostly political talk, and I'm getting a little bit sick
33:23
Speaker 6: of it myself. So that's how the end of this
33:25
Speaker 6: show is going to go is. It's not going to
33:27
Speaker 6: be terribly political, but I will play at least something
33:30
Speaker 6: from the White House Correspondent Center on Friday, which is
33:33
Speaker 6: certainly making the rounds very viral moment. President Trump made
33:36
Speaker 6: a joke to the press that when he stops being
33:40
Speaker 6: the president, they won't have anything to talk about anymore.
33:43
Speaker 6: All of their business models hinge on discussing him, and
33:47
Speaker 6: he's not wrong when he says this.
33:49
Speaker 8: People have no idea how lucky you are when I'm
33:52
Speaker 8: gone you're all going to be broke.
33:54
Speaker 7: Your business model is going to be finished up.
33:57
Speaker 13: Sure, when I'm not.
33:58
Speaker 14: Around, you're going to be broke, not going to be
34:00
Speaker 14: anybody to report on. Nobody gives it damn about anybody else.
34:06
Speaker 14: The New York Times there they had five stories about me.
34:09
Speaker 8: You know, before I got into politics, in my whole life,
34:13
Speaker 8: I had seven front page stores.
34:15
Speaker 7: This is years of success. I think six were good.
34:18
Speaker 7: One was bad at five stories seven five good. Yeah.
34:23
Speaker 7: I had a total of seven stories on the front
34:25
Speaker 7: page of the New York Times.
34:26
Speaker 9: Is that bad?
34:27
Speaker 5: Now?
34:28
Speaker 7: I average about three or four day, all different topics bad.
34:32
Speaker 6: It's all bad. Everything's defa He's all. I mean, here
34:35
Speaker 6: we are in fact, well, it's funny as he talks
34:37
Speaker 6: about this. It's one hundred percent true that the business
34:40
Speaker 6: model of most news organizations when Trump is in the
34:43
Speaker 6: White House is to talk about him all the time.
34:45
Speaker 6: Jimmy X to the second power is called in Jimmy X,
34:47
Speaker 6: What did you want to say?
34:50
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know if you saw it or not,
34:53
Speaker 5: but Mandami I had two hundred and thirty eight thousand
34:59
Speaker 5: ill legal votes cast for him. Now that they have
35:04
Speaker 5: actually analyzed the voter rolls, so there's nothing that can
35:08
Speaker 5: probably be done about it, but it is being publicized now.
35:14
Speaker 6: You can look it up and check where did you
35:16
Speaker 6: see that, Jimmy X to the second power.
35:20
Speaker 13: There is a program I get called Flag and Cross gotcha,
35:27
Speaker 13: and they had the data and I can look.
35:30
Speaker 5: Forward to syst that I'm driving.
35:31
Speaker 6: I can't look at you. No, no, no, no. It's
35:33
Speaker 6: because I read it earlier today. So I'm a little
35:37
Speaker 6: bit familiar with what you're talking about. Real America vote
35:39
Speaker 6: and the New York citizens on it, which is okay,
35:42
Speaker 6: So I'm a little bit familiar with this. There's somebody
35:44
Speaker 6: who founded both of those organizations. I who said that
35:47
Speaker 6: his own independent look into the twenty twenty five election
35:51
Speaker 6: that gave Mundami the mayoral race in New York had
35:55
Speaker 6: a whole bunch of people on it that shouldn't have
35:57
Speaker 6: been there. Now, the thing that's unfortunate about this is
36:01
Speaker 6: that it's fairly independent, which essentially means and I don't
36:04
Speaker 6: think they've published a lot of the proof of what
36:07
Speaker 6: he's saying, so it's it's hard to evaluate it beyond
36:11
Speaker 6: the individual telling you that. But independent journalists are right
36:14
Speaker 6: more often than actual journalists. I will certainly say that,
36:17
Speaker 6: and that is true a lot. But I'm a little
36:19
Speaker 6: familiar with this, but I think there's still skepticism even
36:23
Speaker 6: for people like me, because it's it's hard to digest
36:26
Speaker 6: without more of the concrete proof coming out there than
36:29
Speaker 6: just some of the overarching assessments that have been found
36:33
Speaker 6: so far.
36:35
Speaker 5: And I agree, but I was just making you aware
36:37
Speaker 5: of it. Sure, and that's only after analyzing two zero
36:41
Speaker 5: point two million votes of the four million that were cast. Right,
36:45
Speaker 5: And they've already found that meaning that were suspicious.
36:48
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, that's a good way to say it, at
36:50
Speaker 6: least suspicious, And of course they did, Like you, and
36:52
Speaker 6: I aren't actually surprised at all that that's possible, thank you,
36:57
Speaker 6: Jimmy hggs.
36:58
Speaker 5: Is that many of them we're dead, wow on the analysis,
37:02
Speaker 5: and that they improve sure as to the people that
37:04
Speaker 5: were on the rolls and had votes, but they're actually dead. Sure, well,
37:08
Speaker 5: I can document those.
37:09
Speaker 6: Yeah. The thing I'll say about that is I moved
37:11
Speaker 6: here from Chicago, and Chicago's pretty famous for dead people
37:14
Speaker 6: voting in elections, so I'm not also shocked about that
37:18
Speaker 6: data either. But thank you for the call man. All Right,
37:21
Speaker 6: that's Jimmy x Het. He just dropped. I was going
37:25
Speaker 6: to say something else, but thank you for Jimmy for
37:27
Speaker 6: calling in and Chicago notorious for the accusation that a
37:30
Speaker 6: bunch of dead people vote in elections all the time.
37:32
Speaker 1: There.
37:33
Speaker 6: All right, we'll take another break. I will come back
37:35
Speaker 6: from the break, and as I said in the last
37:37
Speaker 6: few minutes, we'll try to just have fun. I have
37:39
Speaker 6: a disgusting story from a cruise ship that went viral
37:43
Speaker 6: where somebody did something you don't want to know about,
37:46
Speaker 6: but I'm going to talk about. And then also a
37:48
Speaker 6: crazy story out of Seattle, and then Sammy Hagar news.
37:51
Speaker 6: I have all three of those things.
37:52
Speaker 1: Where do you stand on Lebron versus Michael Jordan as
37:56
Speaker 1: the best ever?
37:58
Speaker 7: Well, Michael Jordan's that's a friend of mine, play golf
38:02
Speaker 7: with him.
38:03
Speaker 15: He's a really good guy and very talented. Lebron is
38:08
Speaker 15: maybe he's a racist, but maybe he doesn't like Trump.
38:11
Speaker 15: I don't know how, but I only like people that
38:13
Speaker 15: like me, so I would say Michael Jordan all.
38:16
Speaker 6: The would The President was asked this question and he
38:18
Speaker 6: did weigh in on it. Whether you believe or disagree
38:21
Speaker 6: with any of the parts of his assessment. I was
38:24
Speaker 6: happy that he picked Mike because to me, Michael Jordan
38:26
Speaker 6: is the best that will ever be in the world
38:29
Speaker 6: of the NBA. And the biggest reason why is his mentality.
38:32
Speaker 6: It's not even just the talent, it was his brain
38:35
Speaker 6: and the way that it functions compared to everybody else's brain.
38:38
Speaker 6: And I don't think it's fun to be Michael Jordan.
38:41
Speaker 6: I've actually said that before on the radio, on the
38:44
Speaker 6: MJ Lebron debate. I think Lebron was more liked by
38:47
Speaker 6: his teammates because Lebron wasn't as insane as Michael Jordan
38:51
Speaker 6: in a good way. I'm a huge fan of Michael Jordan,
38:53
Speaker 6: but like he drove people hard because MJ wanted to
38:57
Speaker 6: win and wanted to rip your heart out on the
38:59
Speaker 6: floor if he didn't win, and I don't think Lebron
39:02
Speaker 6: has ever had that. Lebron wants to win. All athletes
39:04
Speaker 6: want to win. You don't get to that level of
39:06
Speaker 6: success by like not caring at all. But Michael was
39:10
Speaker 6: just to He's a different human and for not that reason,
39:13
Speaker 6: a different reason. President Trump went with MJ. And I'm
39:16
Speaker 6: fine with that as long as it's mj and not Lebron.
39:19
Speaker 6: Lebron's great second best player probably in the history of
39:22
Speaker 6: the NBA as far as all around basketball player. They're
39:25
Speaker 6: not the defender that Michael Jordan is either. This debate
39:28
Speaker 6: doesn't need to be had on this show, and yet
39:30
Speaker 6: I'm still doing it because I have fun with it.
39:33
Speaker 6: And Lebron changing teams again is probably the reason that
39:35
Speaker 6: it comes back into the ether. All right, let's talk
39:38
Speaker 6: about some other stuff, some stuff that has nothing to
39:41
Speaker 6: do with politics indoor sports. This is a carnival cruise
39:45
Speaker 6: thing that went viral, Phil producer, Phil. Are you a
39:49
Speaker 6: cruise ship guy? Do you do the cruise ship or no?
39:52
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with a cruise ship.
39:53
Speaker 6: I may either I don't want to be on one.
39:59
Speaker 6: I have no interest. I feel like, if you want
40:01
Speaker 6: to go to a beach, fly there, right, Okay, see
40:04
Speaker 6: you agree with that. And if I want to be
40:06
Speaker 6: like trapped with people, well, which I don't, I would
40:10
Speaker 6: want that to be much more temporary than say a
40:12
Speaker 6: multi day cruise. So I don't get it. This guy
40:15
Speaker 6: went or this woman went viral because she was caught
40:18
Speaker 6: scratching a foot fungus with a fork on a cruise ship.
40:22
Speaker 6: It is as gross as it sounds. And then passengers
40:25
Speaker 6: complained to the captain, and I think some of the
40:27
Speaker 6: audio went viral of some of the things they were saying.
40:30
Speaker 6: Here are cruise ship passengers on a carnival cruise being
40:35
Speaker 6: disgusted by fork lady, which I think is what they
40:37
Speaker 6: were calling.
40:39
Speaker 16: And we actually have a video if you were like that,
40:47
Speaker 16: because we showed get services and they couldn't believe it.
40:50
Speaker 11: So this is how just fetching her foot at this point,
40:54
Speaker 11: as you can see sever and.
40:57
Speaker 16: She lives on the sign o.
41:01
Speaker 6: It's radio and I know it's not video, and I
41:03
Speaker 6: actually didn't even pop in the video on the live
41:05
Speaker 6: stream because I don't think you want to see it.
41:07
Speaker 6: But it is a lady with a pretty gross evident
41:09
Speaker 6: foot fungus just go and fork to said foot fungus.
41:13
Speaker 6: Usually not a good way to go about that sort
41:16
Speaker 6: of thing, to say the very last, and people were
41:18
Speaker 6: fairly upset. Some other sillier stuff out there before we
41:22
Speaker 6: get out of here. Seattle Police are looking for two
41:25
Speaker 6: people that parachuted off the space Needle. This happened on Friday.
41:30
Speaker 6: They jumped off the six hundred and five foot structure,
41:33
Speaker 6: they safely seem to land on the ground, So, to
41:37
Speaker 6: be honest, part of this not necessarily maybe in this way,
41:41
Speaker 6: is something that I've wanted to do for a very
41:43
Speaker 6: long time. It's called base jumping. It's when you jump
41:46
Speaker 6: off of a standing cliff for anything, and then you
41:49
Speaker 6: have a very limited amount of time to pull a
41:52
Speaker 6: chute and land safely. I've been skydiving. I desperately want
41:57
Speaker 6: to go base jumping, but it is probably much more
42:00
Speaker 6: terrifying and risky than the first one, even though people
42:04
Speaker 6: die in both. So I'm sure that the misses will
42:06
Speaker 6: never approve of this decision of me wanting to go
42:09
Speaker 6: base jumping, so it has not happened, but I'm envious.
42:12
Speaker 6: And actually I remember this, which is silly, before hit
42:15
Speaker 6: play on this audio of people talking about the experience
42:18
Speaker 6: of base jumpers pushing past them on the Seattle Space Needle.
42:23
Speaker 6: But I was in Chicago when they filmed Transformers three,
42:27
Speaker 6: the third movie. Probably people don't even like that movie.
42:29
Speaker 6: I don't care about that part. And during the movie,
42:33
Speaker 6: people base jump off of some buildings in Chicago and
42:36
Speaker 6: then land. I think this is supposed to be guys
42:38
Speaker 6: that are fighting the robots, and then also there's a
42:41
Speaker 6: just a bunch of like robot battles, and so I
42:43
Speaker 6: remember one day I was going to work early in
42:46
Speaker 6: the morning and I'm navigating through this like crazy prop
42:50
Speaker 6: stuff that's literally in the street on Michigan Avenue in Chicago,
42:54
Speaker 6: and someone pulls me aside, like, hey, what are you
42:55
Speaker 6: doing here. I'm like, I work in the radio building
42:58
Speaker 6: right there, part of one of your like i'd find
43:00
Speaker 6: you can go in. And then as we're sitting on
43:03
Speaker 6: Michigan Avenue where the radio station was, we started to
43:06
Speaker 6: see these dudes jump off of buildings and parachute down
43:10
Speaker 6: to the ground. It was the coolest thing I'd ever seen.
43:13
Speaker 6: And they're all firing guns that have like blanks in them,
43:15
Speaker 6: and stuff's exploding. And then we're trying to do a
43:18
Speaker 6: radio show at the same time as all this crazy
43:20
Speaker 6: stuff is going on. Even if the movie's not good,
43:24
Speaker 6: I'd like to be on the set for some of
43:26
Speaker 6: those things that they do, especially the giant, big budget movies,
43:30
Speaker 6: because they just like blow stuff up the dark night.
43:33
Speaker 6: I remember I wasn't there for it, but they actually
43:36
Speaker 6: did blow up that truck that flips over. They shot
43:40
Speaker 6: at on the streets of Chicago somewhere, which was amazing.
43:43
Speaker 6: But anyway, these two morons, not part of a film set,
43:47
Speaker 6: decided to push past people to jump off the space needle,
43:50
Speaker 6: and somebody was talking about how somebody's kid got shoved.
43:53
Speaker 6: But that's not a good look. Even if you're pretty
43:55
Speaker 6: excited about something that you're doing that's illegal and a problem,
44:00
Speaker 6: probably not a great move to shove a kid, like
44:03
Speaker 6: shove their face over to the sides so that you
44:05
Speaker 6: can jump off the space needle. Here's a little bit
44:07
Speaker 6: of that.
44:07
Speaker 2: They burst through the door, and at first I was like,
44:09
Speaker 2: what the heck's they kind of like shove past me
44:10
Speaker 2: and Emerson, So I was like, well, what the heck
44:12
Speaker 2: is going on? Like why are you pushing past me
44:13
Speaker 2: and my kid? They were running towards the glass and
44:16
Speaker 2: they jumped up. Now some jacobs like they're climbing up.
44:17
Speaker 2: They're climbing up, and I'm like, oh my god, go
44:19
Speaker 2: watch Urson go.
44:20
Speaker 6: I love the fact that the mom was like, they
44:22
Speaker 6: just shoved my kid to the ground. And then they
44:24
Speaker 6: watched them climb up the space needle to jump off
44:26
Speaker 6: of it, and the mom's like, kid, go watch them
44:29
Speaker 6: do the stunt part after they shoved you to the ground.
44:32
Speaker 6: Now they're going to do something crazy. Go watch and
44:35
Speaker 6: thank god both people are alive and okay, because that
44:37
Speaker 6: would be a fairly traumatic moment for a child to
44:41
Speaker 6: see people jump off a building and not make it.
44:44
Speaker 6: Luckily again they did, but that's just crazy. And I
44:46
Speaker 6: don't know how you can seal a parachute. I imagine
44:49
Speaker 6: you don't. I imagine you just walk through security like that.
44:52
Speaker 6: And somebody was like, that's fine, they're not going to
44:55
Speaker 6: jump off the space needle, and that's absolutely what they did.
44:58
Speaker 6: One last thing that I just thought was pretty funny,
45:01
Speaker 6: Sammy Hagar David Lee Roth long. I think rivals as
45:05
Speaker 6: far as Van Halen goes. But Roth recently canceled a
45:10
Speaker 6: whole bunch of tour dates that he had scheduled to do,
45:13
Speaker 6: and so Sammy Hagar extended an olive branch that maybe
45:17
Speaker 6: people would not expect him to extend. If you know
45:20
Speaker 6: Sammy Hagar at all, I've ever heard him in interviews
45:23
Speaker 6: and stuff, I would have expected this and it happened.
45:25
Speaker 6: I thought it was pretty funny, Sammy says David Lee Roth.
45:28
Speaker 6: Why don't you just perform with me. Why don't we
45:31
Speaker 6: just perform together at my Vegas residency shows.
45:33
Speaker 17: How your tour getting canceled and I want to save
45:36
Speaker 17: for the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry.
45:38
Speaker 1: I hope you're well, Mike, and I love.
45:40
Speaker 17: The fact that you've been out there doing it, supporting
45:42
Speaker 17: what we did in this band to keep this music alive.
45:47
Speaker 1: When you're ready to carry on, Mike and.
45:49
Speaker 17: I support you, come to Vegas for the residency in September,
45:52
Speaker 17: come on join us, sing a couple songs MC the
45:55
Speaker 17: damn show, come out and just do what you do,
45:58
Speaker 17: which is pretty damn entertaining anyway.
46:00
Speaker 8: I hope you're well.
46:03
Speaker 6: It's amazing me. He references Michael Anthony a bunch of times.
46:05
Speaker 6: He's like, we like it, we love what you're doing.
46:07
Speaker 6: We'd love to see you here with us performing on stage.
46:11
Speaker 6: It'd be a whole lot of fun, and hopefully you're
46:13
Speaker 6: in good health at least. All Right, that's it, that's
46:14
Speaker 6: the show. See you next time.
