1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: So Kenny Loggins. He was speaking out against Donald Trump's 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: use of the song danger Zone, The Kenny Loggins, The 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: Kenny Loggins. 4 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the is danger Zone? The like when you 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 2: think of Kenny Loggins as that first song that pops into. 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: Your head, Yeah, probably that and then maybe Footloose and then. 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 2: I'm all right, I'm all right. I was gonna say, 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: very good at making songs for movies. That became his stick, right, 9 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 2: I mean, he in the nineteen eighties, he was a 10 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: machine in terms of making those very catchy, clever movie songs, 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: and he made a gajillion dollars off doing that. 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: He demanded Trump remove the song from the AI meme. 13 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: And this is the meme we mentioned it yesterday. The 14 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: video depicts Trump and a fighter jet and he's bombing 15 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: No King's protesters with what appears to be fecal matter. 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 2: Okay, so let's talk about a couple things with this first. 17 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: We'll get to the meme itself in a second. Does 18 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: he own or did he sell his catalog? 19 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: And he sold his catalog, so it so he doesn't 20 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: even own the music anymore. 21 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, So does he have a right to say, Well, no, obviously, 22 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: I'm sure he doesn't. Now, can you make like I 23 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: get if you're playing music, like at an event, you 24 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: got to pay the ascap BMI whatever, which is how 25 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: Trump gets away with it, even though the law A 26 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 2: lot of these artists object to him playing their songs. 27 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 2: He pays the does his does ascat b M? I 28 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 2: c sack cover him for me? Memes to Internet related 29 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 2: to his account and can you can you force somebody 30 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: to take a meme down? I don't know that's for 31 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: a for a lawyer, but yeah, if you sold the rights, 32 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: you can't. You can't like trying to re you know, 33 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: claim something you gave to somebody and that found out 34 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: it was worth a bunch of money and saying you 35 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 2: want it back. You can't. You can't do that. You're 36 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: out of the game. 37 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: So Kenny Logan said that he was not asked for permission, 38 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: he would not have given it, and he demanded that 39 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: his recording be removed immediately. 40 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't sound like if he doesn't own the rights, 41 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: he did definitely sell. We know that for a fact. Okay, Well, 42 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 2: I think you don't have to be asked if you 43 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 2: don't own it anymore. I mean the same way as 44 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: like when Michael Jackson bought the Beatles catalog, he could 45 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: do with it whatever he wanted. And we can also 46 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 2: agree that Loggins and Messina was better than anything Kenny 47 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: Loggins did on his own age, with that not as successful. 48 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: What's the Pooh Corner? Return to Pooh Corner? keV? Can 49 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 2: you google that real quick that you know what song 50 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 2: I'm talking about? 51 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: See? That may have been more appropriate. 52 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: You have see what of right? I didn't wait, I 53 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 2: think it was not that pooh Yeah? Total, what is it? 54 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: What? 55 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: There's a Logins and Messina song? Return to Pooh Corner. 56 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 2: Keev's being very slow here, so I'm gonah, I see it? Well, 57 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: it says it was from the album returned to Pooh Corner. Yes, 58 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 2: that's what it was. But it's Logins and Messina, right, yeah, yeah, 59 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: there you go? Yeah yeah, okay, you never played that 60 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 2: song on all the radio stations you program. You have 61 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: no idea what I'm talking about? No, I know the 62 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: song you're I know you're talking at me, like, what 63 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 2: is he talking about? 64 00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: No? 65 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 2: I know what you're talking about. No, I never played 66 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: that earlier. It was the top top something, wasn't. 67 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: It In the late mid seventies. Yeah, it actually it 68 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: reached its peak position was fifty. 69 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 2: Three on the US Hot one hundred fifty three. We 70 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 2: used to well, the reason I know this is our 71 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: new listeners who have not been with the long time. 72 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: Casey and I years ago worked for the same radio owner, 73 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: operator radio station owner. He loved Casey rightfully, so I 74 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: don't think he felt the same way about me. He 75 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: tolerated you, but we didn't work together at the same time. 76 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: But we worked for this the same guy, and part 77 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: of his deal was the classic rock station I worked at. 78 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: He would play they were labeled as the Z's. They 79 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: were labeled as Z so they were deep cuts, and 80 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: every so often he would play kind of they were obscure, 81 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: but not like you would know them, Like if you 82 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: were from that period, you would go, oh, I haven't 83 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: heard that song in you know, thirty years or whatever. 84 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: And we used to play that as one of the 85 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: deep cuts, and I was like, who in the world. 86 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: You know? My theory songs like that oh wows turned 87 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: into oh no's really quickly. But the White House responded 88 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: to this. He said, I feel the need for speed 89 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: and speaker Mike Johnson, he was giving a press conference 90 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: talking about the government shutdown, and a reporter asked him 91 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: why President Trump posted a video of him pooping on 92 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: No King's protesters. 93 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 2: Hey that the president United States over the weekend at 94 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: least a video of him pooping on the American people. 95 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: The president uses social media to make the point. You 96 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 3: can argue he's probably the most effective person who's ever 97 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 3: used social media for that is, he is using satire 98 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 3: to make a point. He is not calling for the 99 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 3: murder of his political opponents. And that's what these people 100 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 3: are doing. I mean there in one of these photos, 101 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 3: I think there's a picture of the president and hanging 102 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 3: in an effigy. 103 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: By a noose. 104 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 3: On one of these mark one of the fore him. 105 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's unconscionable. Look with America is bill 106 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 3: on the idea of free speech. You have the right 107 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 3: to protest. Of course, we jealously guard that. Mean, Chip 108 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 3: and I are attorneys. We've defended that right in the course. 109 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 3: But but what they're what they're doing right now is different. 110 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 3: I mean, they are trying to incite violence. This is 111 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 3: it's not funny. You don't mock a president who has 112 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 3: already had two failed assassination attempts on his life. This 113 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: is not a game, and the idea that communists would 114 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 3: be supporting this is unconscionable to us. 115 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: Can you imagine you're in this press conference with the 116 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House and that's the question. 117 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 2: Okay, But the question really is how is this helpful? 118 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: Like how what is Trump's goal and how does this 119 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 2: help him or help our country get a desired result. 120 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: It's not whether it's funny or not. It's that if 121 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: you want to be a funny go be a comedian 122 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: or host of television show. He'd probably be great at that, 123 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: might be wildly entertaining, but that's you check that at 124 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 2: the door when you're the leader of the country. Well 125 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: he did host a TV show, Well, I mean that's 126 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm saying, like a you know, a stand 127 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: up show, a variety or whatever. You know what I'm saying. 128 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: Right The point is, I don't I don't understand how 129 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 2: that's gonna What is he trying to accomplish, and how 130 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: does that help him? Because right now all he should 131 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 2: care about is be focused on getting the votes. I 132 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: assume he's for the House funding bill, getting those additional 133 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 2: votes like how like, how is he well, I mean 134 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 2: he has a said he's against it. He hasn't stepped 135 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 2: up and said I'm not for this. To take it back? 136 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 2: He isn't, you know, as soon he signed off on 137 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: whatever Johnson did. And I just like, I don't think 138 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: it's helpful. I think, you know, it's funny, but I don't. 139 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 2: I don't want my prison to be funny. I want 140 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: him to be effective, and I think it just eggs 141 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 2: these people on. And sometimes it seems like Trump is 142 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: there to entertain himself more than ponder whatever I do. 143 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 2: How does this help me make our country better? How 144 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: does it help me get votes? How does it help 145 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 2: unite people? 146 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: Do you think it was him making a comment about 147 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: how ridiculous he thought the No King's protests were, Uh, well, 148 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: maybe you're gonna do this, then I'm gonna be silly too. 149 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 2: Maybe that's fine, but you're the president. You're not some 150 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 2: idiot in the street. That's why you're the president. And 151 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: there's some idiot in the street, Like I just I 152 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: don't know. I'm sure people are just livid that I'm 153 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: saying this, but I just I think he does things 154 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 2: that are of a detriment too. If your goal is 155 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: to govern effectively in an efficient manner, I think he 156 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 2: does things that are that cause that to be very 157 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: hard to pull off. 158 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: It takes seriousness away from his position. 159 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah,
