00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Weekend Podcast. A reminder if you get

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: our show in the evenings wherever you are across the country,

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: if you're not in Texas, you probably don't get our

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: morning show. We do three hours in the morning in

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: addition to the show you hear in the evening. It's

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: a different show altogether. Now we will occasionally replay an

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: audio bit, mostly we don't. We do a lot more

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: parodies and fun stuff, and we get a little more

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: risky on the morning show. That's true because our audience

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: on our morning show has been with us for twenty years,

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: so we get to do more of FM morning show

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: formatics and fundamentals and fun. And it's not morning Zoo,

13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: mind you, but we have a little more fun and

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: I sometimes we'll make some jokes with double on tantra.

15
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: So shall we say, all right, just to remind you,

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: that's three hours a day, five days a week, fifteen

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: hours more Michael Barry's show. Some of it's Houston related,

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: but a lot of it is of more sort of

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: less Fox Newsy stories and more sort of funny stories

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: of people in the news, or like a woman chasing

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: another woman down because she didn't deliver her wings on time,

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: her chicken wings and she wanted her to know that. Yeah, yeah,

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: that happened. So anyway, just remind you there's a lot

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: of our content out there, and maybe more than you

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: know about, and what the heck you might enjoy it.

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: The Michael Arry Show in a week where trainees were

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: on display, and we all realize if you didn't already,

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: stop stop with the cutting the wieners off, stop with

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: the trying to make girls into boys. Minnesota Attorney General

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,639
Speaker 1: Keith Ellison was bragging about how his office has sued

31
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: the Trump administration multiple times over gender affirming care. Oh,

32
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: that's something to be proud of.

33
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: Have we forgotten about our Texas dem standing up so bowld,

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: so brave, so powerful, and even US Democratic ags have

35
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: sued this dude forty four times, and we'll sue him

36
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: forty four more and forty four more after that. And

37
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: we have sued them for gender affirming care. Yes, we

38
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: are not going to scape go to our transgender community.

39
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: And we have.

40
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: Sued him to stand up for medical research National Institute

41
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: of Health, and we have sued him for birthright citizenship,

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: and we have sued him to protect our environment, and

43
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: we will suit him every day and all the time,

44
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: and we will be unrelenting and I want you to

45
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: know that.

46
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: And there was tampon Tim right there in front of everybody,

47
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: bragging that his state is a safe haven for trannies. Yeah,

48
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: we know that's who's killing us.

49
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 4: I will have to tell you. I saw a statistic

50
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 4: came out today is Minnesota ranks the highest per capitable

51
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 4: for being a safe haven for transgender individuals in Minnesota.

52
00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: And can I just say, we can talk about economic

53
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: growth and feeding children and growing the economy and creating

54
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: jobs simultaneously with talking about everybody's human rights matters and

55
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 4: we shouldn't be animalizing.

56
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: And then he went on a weird rant. You wonder

57
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: about this. This is a guy that has jazz hands on him, hey,

58
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: every high and he goes on a really weird rant

59
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: about how easy it must be to be a Republican.

60
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: It reminds me of what's the guy's namer moment ran

61
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: for president. He was a doctor, Howard, He was the

62
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: governor of Vermont, you remember him. And he had the scream,

63
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to Kansas and then we're gonna go

64
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: to Missouri and then we're gonna go to Texas. Then

65
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna Louise Nay. Yeah, you remember that it was

66
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: a scream that ended his career. Has dog what was

67
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: his name? Howard looked that up for me.

68
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: We are strong because we challenge each other. We are

69
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: strong because we're held accountaball. We're strong because we believe

70
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: that there's a place for everyone here. Think of how

71
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: easy it would be to be a damn Republican. Oh

72
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: what should I wear today? This stupid freaking red hat.

73
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: What should I say today? I don't know. Just make

74
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 4: sure it's cruel. Who do we listen to that guy? Oh,

75
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: the felon in the White House? Yeah, listen to him

76
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 4: and that will be fine. Now he's talking about burning flags.

77
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 4: He's gonna have flag burning or whatever because he knows

78
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: there's a hell of a lot of flags with his

79
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 4: picture on it that are gonna get burned. There's a

80
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: whole lot of that kind of crap that people are

81
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 4: sick of.

82
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: And I have to tell you.

83
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 4: We can have our internal decision making, our internal healthy debates,

84
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: but I refuse to believe we do not have the

85
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: luxury to fight amongst ourselves. Why that thing sets in

86
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 4: the White House.

87
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: And then this week Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee. She wants

88
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: you to know that she's the first black female mayor

89
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: of Oakland, as if that matters, and that her top

90
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: priority is to make sure her police department does not

91
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: cooperate with ICE. Oh, why would you want to cooperate

92
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: with ICE? You certainly don't want to lower the You

93
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't be Oakland anymore if you did.

94
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 5: Oakland is in the House. Now. Oakland is a community

95
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 5: that fights for democracy every day, and it's one that

96
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 5: I'm honored to represent. As I approached my first and

97
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 5: one hundred days as mayor, and I just happened to

98
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 5: be Oakland's first black woman mayor. Now, y'all know the

99
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 5: science of authoritarianism cannot be ignored. And so I want

100
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 5: to just take a minute to thank California Democrats led

101
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 5: by Governor Newsom, all right, and I want to thank

102
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 5: Texas Democrats for standing strong. I was born in Texas,

103
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 5: Proud California. Together we are leading the fight to protect

104
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 5: our democracy. Now, Donald Trump, you know he trashed Oakland,

105
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 5: he lied about us. But Oakland is not afraid. We

106
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 5: embrace all residents, including our immigrant communities. Our police do

107
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 5: not cooperate with us.

108
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: We don't.

109
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: And then here's this woman. Her name is Insha Raman.

110
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't know who she is. She's with the Vira Institute.

111
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: And she said carjackings and migrant crime that doesn't matter

112
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: to Americans. Uh, tuts I got news. I don't know

113
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: how long you been here, but you don't know what

114
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: Americans care about. Do you know why Donald Trump's so

115
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: popular because he's dealing with the illegals and he's dealing

116
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: with the crime and corruption.

117
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: Yes, crime is coming down, but don't let Trump take

118
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: credit for it. It's going down in spite of him

119
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: and because of democratic leadership like mine. That is the

120
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 3: phrase you want to use. Don't be afraid of the

121
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 3: crime debate. Lean all the way in, call out what

122
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: Trump is doing, and say the reason crime is going down,

123
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: our communities are becoming safer is because of us. You

124
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: can see. You want to talk about the crime issues

125
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 3: voters care about. Where does Trump go? Migrant crime, carjackings,

126
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: the really lurid, awful stuff. That is a crazy, crazy visual.

127
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 3: Don't take the bait because most Americans are more worried

128
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 3: about how are we going to address mental health issues?

129
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: The visible homelessness that we see on streets, and how

130
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: do we deal with mental health and other issues that

131
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: drive the sort of random incidents that.

132
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: Scare all of us.

133
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 3: That's what you should be talking about. That's where you

134
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: should be focused. Don't take the bait and talking about

135
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 3: migrant crime or carjackings or the things that actually don't

136
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: matter to that many Americans.

137
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: And then there's you know, some of these Democrats are

138
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: really trying to stoke the civil war. They really are.

139
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: This is a chairman of the Democrat National Committee. He

140
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: said he is sick and tired of his party bringing

141
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: a pencil to a knife fight. They're desperately trying to

142
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: set off a civil war, and I got news for them.

143
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 4: They're gonna I'm sink and tired of this Democratic party

144
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 4: bringing a pencil to a knife fight. We cannot be

145
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: the only party that plays by the rules anymore. We've

146
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: got to stand up and fight.
