1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: It's more of Mark the Mark Simon Show on WR Hey, well, 2 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to this hour. So 3 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: they are drawing down in Minnesota, Tom Holman announcing earlier 4 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: he will remove seven hundred ICE agents. They got three 5 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: thousand there, so he'll take about one third of them 6 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: home or somewhere else. Now, the problem is you don't 7 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: want to encourage these kind of protesters to move to 8 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: other cities. Now. ICE is operating all over America and 9 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: in many, many cities on a much bigger scale, and 10 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: there's no problem. The locals cooperate. Everything's done in a nice, 11 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: orderly fashion. It's only in Minnesota that they decided to 12 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: terrorize the ICE agents with protesters confronting them again. Confrontations everywhere. 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: But one of the reasons they're pulling out is they've 14 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: gotten about four thousand dangerous criminals off the street. Could 15 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: you imagine the federal governments in a force to remove 16 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: the most dangerous criminals off your street, and you get 17 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 1: mad at them and try to block them and try 18 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: to give them a hard time. So things calming down 19 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: a little in Minnesota. Hey, the Grammy Awards, which was 20 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: like the big anti ICE show this year, the Grammy 21 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: Awards with all the anti ice stuff, got very very 22 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: low ratings, low ratings, even worse than last year. Last 23 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: year wasn't so hot. Grammy's hit fourteen million. That's good 24 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: for today's television. But you know, the good old days, 25 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: the Grammys would get sixty five million, eighty million. Now 26 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: it's fourteen million, down six percent from last year, which 27 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: wasn't so hot. Hey. By the way, it's the last 28 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: year for CBS and the Grammys. You know, the Grammy 29 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: Awards have been on CBS for fifty years, beginning in 30 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three. The Grammy Awards were around in the fifties, 31 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: and it was the great producer Pierre Cosette, our old 32 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: buddy who I think it was nineteen fifty nine or sixty. 33 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: He got the idea to make it into a TV show, 34 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: which the networks thought was crazy, but he convinced them 35 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: and he got it on television for the first time. 36 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: And Pierre's close friend Andy Williams was the first host 37 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: of the Grammy Awards and it did very well. But 38 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: then about I think it was the early seventies, they 39 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: decided to cancel the Grammys. They didn't they weren't interested 40 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: in putting it on TV anymore. So Pierre went to CBS. 41 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: Bob Wood was the Presidency bus and he was close 42 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: to him, con begged and pleaded, convinced him to try 43 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: it on CBS. And that's where it's been for fifty years. 44 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: But this is the last year. Now it's moving next 45 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: year to Disney. Disney made a ten year deal for 46 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: the Grammy Awards, so next year it will be a 47 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: Disney show. It'll be on ABC, Disney Plus, and Hulu. 48 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: It'll be a sign cast on all three. So we'll 49 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: see if it does any better streaming. Hey, you know 50 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: that silly guy, Jerry Nadler, That waddling, ridiculous looking figure, 51 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: Jerry Nadler, left wing angry guy. He's getting a lot 52 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: of flack. Yesterday he made crazy, reckless comments. He said 53 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: he was going after Ice and he said the major 54 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: problem in this country is fascism in our streets. He said, 55 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: the attacks and American citizens by masked hoodlums. He's calling 56 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: law enforcement hoodlums. If you were attacked by a masked person, 57 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: you might think you were being kidnapped. You'd be justified 58 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: in shooting the person to protect yourself. So imagine this 59 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: is how crazy they get. They're like little children and 60 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: they're so angry. And you know when little children are angry, 61 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: they just spew anything out of their mouth. But Nadler's 62 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: a you know, public official, he should know better, but 63 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: he's spewing all this nonsense about you would be justified 64 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: in shooting ice because they're masked and you think you're 65 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: being kidnapped. And JD. Vance was the first to speak out, 66 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: calling Nadler demented, despicable behavior from an elected official. Donald 67 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: Trump Junior the guy's demented. Democrats once again openly calling 68 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: for violence. But again, you got to remember they're so angry. 69 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: The anger is again it's childish anger, like juvenile, childish, 70 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: out of control anger that they can't even And a 71 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: lot of these people are normally articulate people, but they 72 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: come to this and they can't even express themselves. They 73 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: just spew all this crazy, hysterical hyperbole. And Nadler getting 74 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: a lot of flack for it. Hey, you know the 75 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: story of Jill Biden's ex husband. Jill Biden was married 76 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: to a guy named Bill Stevenson million years going Delaware. 77 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: They were married. I think she was. Was she the 78 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: babysitter for the Stevenson Oh no, the I don't know something. 79 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: She was a babysitter winning But anyway, married to this guy, 80 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: Bill Stevenson, seems to be a happy marriage. But Joe Biden, 81 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: a young Joe Biden is the Senator and he somehow 82 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: meets Jill Biden and he starts having an affair with 83 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: her while she's married to Bill Stevenson. So Jill Biden 84 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 1: starts having a married woman has an affair with the 85 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: Senator Biden, and they're carrying on for a while, and 86 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: one day Jill's husband, Bill Stevenson, finds out his car 87 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: was in an accident. The car accident got banged up, 88 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: smashed a little, and then when the police report and 89 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: everything comes out, it turns out Joe Biden, the Senator, 90 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: was driving the wife's car and that's where he started 91 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: to realize they were having an affair. So it all 92 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: comes out that she's sleeping with U. And I think 93 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: Joe was married at the time too, so she's having 94 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: an affair with him. Anyway, they end up getting divorced. 95 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: Bill Stevenson and his wife Jill. They end up getting 96 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: a divorce. It gets messy. It goes into court and 97 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is dating the wife, so he gets involved, 98 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: the Senator, Joe Biden, and he tries to really screw 99 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: over Bill Stevenson in court so that Jill gets everything, 100 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: takes everything the guy has. But the judge in the 101 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: court saw right through this some shenanigans Joe Biden was 102 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: trying to pull, and he ruled in Bill Stevenson's favor 103 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: where Jill didn't get everything he had. In fact that 104 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: it ended up Jill Biden owed him money. So the 105 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: guy who was lucky, he got a very fair judge 106 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: who saw what was going on. Well, it's Joe Biden, 107 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: evil Joe Biden. So then about a month later, Joe 108 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: Biden has Bill Stevenson arrested. You know, Joe Biden was 109 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: the senator in Delaware. It's a little small states like 110 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: it's almost like a county, and Joe Biden had a 111 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: lot of cloud He ranged for this husband of Jill's 112 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: to get arrested taken to jail over absolutely nothing. He 113 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: had a couple of businesses he owned restaurants and bars, 114 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: and one of the businesses they quarterly taxed was like 115 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: a thousand dollars and they got paid two days late, 116 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: which is nothing normal. But the police show up, they 117 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: arrest Bill Stevenson, they take him to jail. This is 118 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: all Joe Biden doing lawfair. He's got a long history 119 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: of using and weaponizing lawfare against his enemies. So that's 120 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: what happened there. Stevenson. Eventually he got convicted, but he 121 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: eventually went back to work and became again as a 122 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: very successful businessman. Now, in the last year or so, 123 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: there's been talk of getting a pardon for this guy 124 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: because it was the first terrible example of lawfare from 125 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: Joe Biden falsely convicting this guy, arresting this guy. So 126 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people have gone to President Trump and 127 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: told him the story and tried to get a pardon 128 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: for this guy, Bill Stevens, and there's been talk of 129 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: this pardon coming. Well, all of a sudden, now it 130 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: comes out that Bill Stevenson murdered his wife, his new wife, 131 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: his current wife. She was found dead. Police have arrested 132 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: Bill Stevenson. They think he murdered her in a domestic 133 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: violence kind of situation. But it's made a lot of 134 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: people suspicious. They'd still somehow see the hand of Joe 135 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: Biden in this somewhere. I had no idea. I don't know, 136 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: maybe murdered her, maybe didn't, And people that know him 137 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: can't believe it. So everybody looking carefully at this case 138 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: to see if there was any any funny business trying 139 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: to frame Bill Stevenson all this. But we'll see he's 140 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: been arrested and we'll see what happens in this case. Hey, 141 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: speaking of domestic violence, So you know, mom, Donnie has 142 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: brought back this tired, old ridiculous thing about you don't 143 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: need police to respond to everything. Why can't we have 144 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: psychologists respond? Why can't we have social workers respond? So 145 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: if there's a domestic violence situation, the husband and wife, 146 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: domestic violence, let's have a social worker respond. And of 147 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: course everybody argues that that is the most police will taps. 148 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: The most dangerous call you to respond to. Domestic violence 149 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: is usually an out of control husband with a big 150 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: butcher knife, or he's in a rage, he's like controlled. 151 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,599 Speaker 1: It's a it's the one thing cops hate to respond to. 152 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: You can really get hurt in a domestic violence situation. 153 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: So Mamdani wants to send in the social workers. It's 154 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: a ridiculous idea. 155 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 2: That is why I proposed creating a Department of Community 156 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 2: Safety to build a mental health system rooted in prevention, 157 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: in sustained care, and real crisis response, so officers no 158 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 2: longer have to handle these situations along. As I've said, 159 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: when there is a violent situation, such as with a weapon, 160 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 2: NYPD will be I'm a seene. 161 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Now, if you think it makes sense, they 162 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: have the social grist response. The answer is pretty simple. 163 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: If you talk to our great police commissioners, Ray Kelly 164 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: and the other great commissioners, they will explain to you 165 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: they have tried it. It's been tried in the past 166 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: two three times. New York City tried it. They did it, 167 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: they actually put it into effect. Now it turned out 168 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: the social workers got killed, stabbed, beaten up. It was horrible. 169 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: It doesn't work. Not to mention that after a while, 170 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: no social worker will respond. They don't want to respond 171 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: to any of these things. It's too dangerous. But New 172 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: York City has tried it. It has failed miserably and 173 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: violently every time. So it's a ridiculous idea. Police officers 174 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: will explain it to you. If you're going to send 175 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: only medical professionals there understand that it's a changing dynamic quickly. 176 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: They could pick up a weapon and charge at them. 177 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: What are they going to do then? How are they 178 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: going to defend themselves? That's why the police have to 179 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: go to these things. Now, if you want to pair 180 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: them all for the medical professional, that's fine. Yeah, now 181 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: they're trying that. So I guess that's the Mom Donnie program, 182 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: you know. But again, police have been through this a 183 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: million times. It doesn't make any sense to send the 184 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: social work here. Police get there, calm it down, and 185 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: maybe they have to take the husband in or something, 186 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: and then you send the social worker later at another time. 187 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: So this is the problem with Mom Donnie. You know, 188 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: he's never worked, he's never had a job, he's never 189 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: run anything, and he's like a college kid who just 190 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: got out of college. You know. They go to these 191 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: crazy ivy league kind of colleges where they teach them 192 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: all this flowery nonsense that never works in real life, 193 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: and they believe all this stuff and you cannot explain 194 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: to them whether it's socialism or social workers responding to 195 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: domestic finds. You can't explain to them. This has been 196 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: tried seven thousand times. It fails every single time. You 197 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: got to be so ridiculously naive to keep trying it 198 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: even though it's failed every single time. Hey, speaking of ice, 199 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel admits he not only goes to the anti 200 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: ice rallies, he brings his whole family with him out 201 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: there fighting law enforcement, standing up to them, trying to 202 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: stop them. You know, these guys like Jimmy kimmeler or Colbert, 203 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: they're so ridiculously partisan. They don't realize there's half the 204 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: country cannot even watch them. It's impossible. You've already gotten 205 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: rid of fifty percent of your audience before you even started. 206 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: They can't figure out they've got no ratings at all. 207 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: You know, Kimmel's got like one million viewers, Colbert maybe 208 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: he's got one point one million. They got absolutely nobody watching, nobody. 209 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: You know, Johnny Carson used to have fifteen million people. 210 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: They just can't figure this out. They end up getting fired. 211 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: Colbert is fired. He's wrapping it up in a couple 212 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: of weeks. Kimmel is basically fired. They wouldn't renew his contract. 213 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: They just gave him a one year extension, which is 214 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: unheard of. You always give a three to five year renewal. 215 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: He just got a little extension, so he's basically fired. 216 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: And take the Washington Post. You here's another example. The 217 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: Washington Post was always a little slanted to the left, 218 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: but then it went crazy trumped derangement syndrome, partisan, and 219 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: you get rid of half your audience. You can't read, 220 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: so readership is way way down. It's now owned by 221 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos. And if you got very few readers, you 222 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: got to start cutting costs. So they just announced they're 223 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: laying off three hundred people, getting rid of the sports section, 224 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: of this section, of that section. The employees are up 225 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: in arms. There's a mutiny. They're outraged. They can't believe it. 226 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: But but if you go that partisan, you're gonna lose 227 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people. You caused your own downfall, Bezos, 228 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: What is he supposed to do if you got if 229 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: you lose eighty percent of your audience, at some point, 230 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: you got to cut eighty percent of your staff. But 231 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: they're so idealistic they can't figure it out. Hey, the 232 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: Kennedy Center, the rebuilding will begin. Now you're going to 233 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: hear fake news like the Washington Post, New York times, 234 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: they're going to try to convince you this is some 235 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: crazy idea Trump wanting to shut down the Kennedy Center 236 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: and rebuild it. What a crazy Trump idea. It's not 237 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: a Trump idea. The government has been planning this for 238 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: a long time, long before Trump got there. In fact, 239 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: the projects expected to cost about two hundred million. In fact, 240 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: it was last year ago Congress decided to this had 241 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: to be done, and they voted the money. They voted 242 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: in two hundred and fifty seven million to repair Kennedy Center. 243 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: So it has nothing to do with Trump. It was 244 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: already planned, already underway. Congress had already voted in the money. 245 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: The difference now is I guess they're going to try 246 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: to do a lot of patchwork in there, which is 247 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: the Trump is the one of the finest, best, most 248 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: knowledgeable builders in America. He personally inspected everything in there 249 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: and realized you can't do a patchwork job. You got 250 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: to rebuild the whole thing. He personally inspected it showed 251 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: pipes were crumbling, everything, the whole infrastructure is crumbling. The 252 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: elevators are ridiculously outdated. If they're decades outdated, they need 253 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: to be replaced. There at the end of their life. 254 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: These elevators the underground parking garage showed tremendous structural failure 255 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: from the concrete spiling of falling apart. So they're gonna 256 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: have to like literally gut the whole thing. They can 257 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: keep some of the steel. But remember, you got an 258 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: absolute expert in the White House at this kind of stuff. 259 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: But it was the whole plan was begun long before 260 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: Trump got there. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next eight 261 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: hundred three to two one zero seven ten is the 262 00:15:54,920 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: number eight hundred three two one zero seven ten more marmone. Hey, 263 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: let's take some calls. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, 264 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: how you doing. Good morning, Mark, that's Mike. 265 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 3: It's Kimmel. Is really quite a putt. I don't know 266 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 3: if people realize this, but if you don't belong to 267 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 3: one of the big Hollywood unions, you can't work on 268 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 3: his show. It's you know, I mean, if you're illegal 269 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 3: in a sense, you can't work on his show. You're 270 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 3: not welcome to work on his show. You're not welcome 271 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 3: to participate in his world. Oh, I know, we know 272 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 3: the hypocrites, but you know, I wonder if people understand that. 273 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're also it's just more like being childish. They're 274 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: just little children in there, you know. It's like they'll 275 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: talk about income inequality. Meantime, he gets fifteen million a year, 276 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: everybody else gets a dollar fifty on the show exactly. 277 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 4: And the other thing about Hollywood is if they don't 278 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 4: want to use the unions, they'll go to Australia and 279 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 4: hire non union people and do that so they you know, 280 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 4: so they don't have to pay taxes, theyn't have to 281 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 4: pay union fees, you know, so it's cheap of production value. 282 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 3: So the hypocrites on every side of the same coin. 283 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, the guys, he's a child. How 284 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: many times you seen him cry on television? Now, it's 285 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: like seven times he started crying, you know. 286 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 3: At least it has become a regular part of this show. 287 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he's crying on TV. The last time 288 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: anybody cried on TV before that was like once the 289 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: Kennedy assassination, Like that was it. That was the only time. 290 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Let's go to John and the Bronx. John. 291 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: How you doing. 292 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 5: Good? 293 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: Good? 294 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 6: Mark? 295 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 7: Hello? 296 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, So Mark, what do you think if Trump gets 297 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 8: on the air and says that every illegal alien could 298 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,479 Speaker 8: stay here if they vote Republicated. How many ICE agents 299 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 8: do you think the Democrats will hire you? 300 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: Well? Sure, yeah, a lot of people have proposed that 301 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: that and if you vote Republican you can get an 302 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: automatic citizenship. I think that's illegal. But if you did that, 303 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: you're right, they would start. Democrats would hire their own 304 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: ice and start deporting them like crazy. Let's go to 305 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: Bill in Pennsylvania.

Do you know what? 309 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 6: Apparently the Super Bowl halftime actor is a man wearing 310 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,959 Speaker 6: a ball down and pink to leto. 311 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, bad Bunny. 312 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 6: Yeah you know, but as a closed horse, I objected strenuously. 313 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: Well you're not. I would think a guy like you, 314 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: as a Bad Bunny fan, I would think he's on 315 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: your playlist. 316 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 6: Well, I like Psycho Bunny as my shirt. 317 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: See you more with the the Lennon Sisters or something 318 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: like that.

Okay, I'm looking in the control room. Everybody's 322 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: dozing off. I don't think anybody has any interest in 323 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: the name of you. But what do you mean a band? 324 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: What kind of band? 325 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 6: I know, I know you picked up the control room 326 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 6: in front of the kmart today, you know. 327 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: But you know that's I mean makes sense you'd have 328 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: a band. You always seem to be drinking. So but 329 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: what does the band play? What kind of music? 330 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 6: We play a jug band.

How are you, Mark Simone? 369 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good. So Tom Holman just announced they're 370 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: pulling seven hundred ICE agents out of Minnesota. But I 371 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: think that's because they've arrested four thousand illegals already. They're 372 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: getting the job done. Aren't you happy? 373 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 7: Have they gotten four thousand? That's fantastic. Yeah, the ones 374 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 7: that haven't been sprung by a federal district court. 375 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: Judge yet, Well, they got some of those. Actually, they 376 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: catch them when they come out of the courthouse. And 377 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: the Minnesota mayor admitting the economy has tanked in the 378 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: last few weeks because he's allowed all this rioting on 379 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: the streets. 380 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 7: So I think what Trump should do, perhaps this is 381 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 7: what they're doing, is send in basically the same force 382 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 7: to various other blue cities around the country, you know, 383 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 7: San Francisco, Chicago, I don't even know them all, Portland, Maine, 384 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 7: so that Antifa doesn't know where to go. Just you know, 385 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 7: send in like a one week force and have them 386 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 7: pop up, like where's wald out over the country. 387 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: Well, what about this idea of just pull out of 388 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: Minnesota and announced that the federal government agrees Minneapolis sanctuary city, 389 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: every illegal go there and just let it go all 390 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: to hell, just to show people what the. 391 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 7: Illegals can travel. It's a problem. I mean, I sort 392 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 7: of like the idea of punishing them. I'm sympathetic to that, 393 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 7: but we do have federal law and it does need 394 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 7: to be enforced. You can't just throw a tantrum and 395 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 7: have the federal government say, oh, okay, we won't enforce 396 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 7: these laws. But I do think it's a problem that 397 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 7: every anarchist, left wing, lunatic antifa in the country now 398 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 7: knows their mecca is Minneapolis. Now, so if you kept 399 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 7: throwing it off and keeping them in cities you know, 400 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 7: really fall far apart, they wouldn't have time to get there. 401 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 7: But I do think you have to enforce federal law. Particularly, 402 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 7: I mean, it would be like trying to keep COVID 403 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,479 Speaker 7: to a single state. No like viruses, illegals travel. 404 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: Now, what about this theory is that because Democrats liberal, 405 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: they're crazier than ever, whack you than ever, add more 406 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: out of control than ever. What was this theory that 407 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: the rise of cannabis and the use of cannabis has 408 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: led to this. 409 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 7: Why I just tweeted about that. You know, I've written 410 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 7: quite a bit about it. I believe I was the 411 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 7: first to review Alex Berenson's book Tell Your Children, really 412 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 7: making the case proving that overwhelmingly. He was, I guess, 413 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 7: a longtime science reporter for the New York Times. They 414 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 7: were not as interested in what he had to say 415 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 7: about pot or COVID. In any event, Yeah, the studies 416 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 7: I mean in that book, the studies are overwhelming that 417 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 7: they all as with COVID, I might add, you know, 418 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 7: the Europeans got COVID right sending kids back to school 419 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 7: way before we did, and again our media centered that information. 420 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,719 Speaker 7: I did an interview with this guy, David Zweg, who 421 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 7: wrote a very important book about this, and he was 422 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 7: a New York Times reporter. One of his articles was 423 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 7: the most viewed. Would not publish his article. When he 424 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 7: started looking, he had young kids in school and he was, 425 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 7: you know, upset about about how his children, all the 426 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 7: other children are going crazy. So he started looking at 427 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 7: all these European studies and what European countries were doing, 428 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 7: and in our times would simply refuse to print that. 429 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: Well, it's the. 430 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 7: Same thing with the pot studies. It's it's a big 431 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 7: problem pot in setting off schizophrenia, particularly in young men, 432 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 7: though not limited to young men. It happens in older 433 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 7: people too, And surprisingly enough, New York Times has a 434 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 7: story today saying, Canadian researchers, you know, they're ten years, 435 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 7: ten years late, have found the exact same thing. 436 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: Huh, And what do we do about that? This spread continues, 437 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: it's growing, it's worse, it's behaviors, it's going to get 438 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: even worse. There's no way to stop it now. 439 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 7: Well, you know, I've done some podcasts on this. I 440 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 7: keep meaning to write a full article. One thing is 441 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 7: these these from the left of what you're I think 442 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 7: they're mostly from the left what you should eat. I mean, 443 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 7: consider the facts that the truth about the food pyramid 444 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 7: is that it has been exactly upside down for what 445 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 7: the past twenty thirty years, and that probably does have 446 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 7: a lot to do with how Americans have gotten so fat. 447 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 7: Telling people to avoid to avoid fats and consume a 448 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 7: lot more carbohydrates, No, no, you're supposed to avoid carbs 449 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 7: and fats are just fine for you. The Atkins diet. 450 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 7: I don't particularly practice it, but that is the ideal diet. 451 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 7: And similarly, I'm sorry, I'm going a long way to 452 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 7: get back to pot. Similarly, this thing about how alcohol 453 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 7: is so bad for you, I mean, you can check 454 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 7: with our very very smart doctor friends in New York. 455 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 7: They have a misleading way of stating it, so it 456 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 7: would be something like, you know, drinking any amount of 457 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 7: alcohol will increase this, that and the other cancer increases 458 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 7: it by like twenty percent. But what they mean is 459 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 7: it increases the odds of twenty percent, which actually ends 460 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 7: up being something like a fraction of one percent. And 461 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 7: if you're going to tell kids no alcohol, no alcohol, 462 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 7: no alcohol, they're going to start smoking a lot more pop, 463 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 7: which is obviously much much much worse for them and 464 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 7: makes them stupid. And we don't need a stupid populace. 465 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 7: I mean, the entire all of Western civilization was built 466 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 7: on coffee, cigarettes, and alcohol. Unless you're an alcoholic, and 467 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 7: only about ten percent of people who drink become alcoholics. 468 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 7: Alcohol really isn't bad for you. It's the social lubricants. 469 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 7: And it was Biden's Attorney General that Indian guy who 470 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 7: wanted warning labels on alcohol. And meanwhile, you know with 471 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 7: one hand, they're doing that with the other hand, and 472 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 7: let's legalize pot. Oh, it's just medicinal, which is a 473 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 7: nonsense ruse. But yeah, I think I think the unjustified 474 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 7: attack on alcohol has a lot to do with the 475 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 7: massive increase in pot consumption, and also when states start 476 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 7: legalizing it, even under the rules of it being medicinal 477 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 7: or legalizing it for recreational use, that does send a 478 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 7: message to young kids that it's fine, Oh, it can 479 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 7: be medicine. It's natural. Yeah, arsenic is natural. 480 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: So you should be pointed out this is not nineteen 481 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: sixties woodstock hippie pot. This is a much, much, much 482 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: stronger form that we have nowadays, much much worse. 483 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 7: So yes, yes, stunningly so. Yes, that's an important point. 484 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 7: Absolutely right. Hey, I really liked your tweets on Don Lemon. 485 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: Oh don't you feel bad for our buddy Don Lemon. 486 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 7: He's ridiculous. It is so obvious that he wrote the 487 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 7: law here. The defense of him is preposterous. He was 488 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 7: not acting as I did. I mentioned him in my 489 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 7: five Stories podcast this weekend. I do the stories of 490 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 7: the week Uh. I just loved the idea that he's 491 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 7: this newsman. He's got he's got such a nose for news. 492 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 7: He just thought, well, if I hang around this church 493 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 7: with my with my camera, maybe something won't happen. No, 494 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 7: he was involved with the activists from the beginning. He's 495 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 7: talking about we're going in the videos, which I highly 496 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 7: recommend people watch. You got to play some clips from it. 497 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 7: I did it, and I played some clips on my podcast. 498 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 7: For one thing, they're all chanting, they really take over 499 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 7: the church in an ugly, ugly, really violent way. I mean, 500 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 7: imagine doing that in an abortion clinic, which is the 501 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 7: other part of this law. 502 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 3: Uh. 503 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 7: And I feel so sorry for There's some old people 504 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 7: standing there and they just look terrified. All the families 505 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 7: with their kids leaving, they're heckling the kids. One of 506 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 7: the great things the protesters are yelling, yes they are 507 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 7: hands up, don't shoot. 508 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: Oh. 509 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 7: The most famously disproved claim by a criminal conspirator of 510 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 7: Michael Brown's, who by the way, when he was all 511 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 7: Doring and Johnson, I remember him, he was my safe. 512 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 7: He was all over TV after that. That was the 513 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,719 Speaker 7: Ferguson incident with Big Mike Brown. The gentle giant, and 514 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 7: he was the one who invented the claim of Brown 515 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 7: getting on his knees putting up his hands up, don't shoot. 516 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 7: At that time, he was facing trial for perjury. Yeah, 517 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 7: and he's the media's. 518 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: Go to guy, hands up, don't you turned out to 519 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: be totally false. 520 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,719 Speaker 7: Never happened, so, as proved by both the Attorney General 521 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 7: of Missouri and the Obama Justice Department. They had the 522 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 7: forensics on how the bullet went in, et cetera, et cetera, 523 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 7: and actually a lot of the witnesses, witnesses that were 524 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 7: good enough for Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC. When they got 525 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 7: before the grand jury, they admitted they were lying. 526 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: Yes, But the problem is this could revive Don Lemon's career. 527 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: He might actually even get a job out of this. 528 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 7: I don't think so. You see my defense form on Twitter. 529 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 7: I said he should say, I'm a DEI higher, I'm 530 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 7: not that intelligent. I had no. 531 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 3: Idea what the law is. How can the jury reject that? 532 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: I like that. That's actually pretty good. But you're right, guy, 533 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: he's a newsman who's never broken a single story in 534 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: his entire life. He's basically a talk show host anchorman. 535 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: He looked good on TV. That's about it. 536 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 7: But he was behaving as an activist. I mean he's talking, 537 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 7: they're harassing. The pastor was surprisingly lovely and calm and 538 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 7: talking to these activist lunatics. And Lemon is harassing the 539 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 7: pastor at some point that's just talking to him. And 540 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 7: he touches Lemon's arm, and Lemon does the actives thing. 541 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 7: Don't touch me. 542 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: Well, he's a journalist.
