so nice to have you all with me on this Tuesday afternoon. We've

got a fun and exciting show for you. I've got a lot of um

I'm gonna try to This is one of those days where I'm alone here again.

Today I'm gonna try to get through as many fascinating news stories as possible,

things that I think are interesting. But and perhaps you will too in

an ideal situation. By the way. That track that we opened with that

is called Ain't Life a Struggle? That is by the great Peter Pappis,

who will be our musical guest on Thursday. He will be here in studio

with us. He's gonna bring in his electric guitar and he's gonna play live,

and it's gonna be great. Really looking forward to meeting him. It's

funny. I was just looking at a picture of him online. He reminds

me a little bit of Paul Simon, just in how he looks, although

he's probably taller because most people are taller than Paul Simon. But no,

he's got a great voice and I really look forward to meeting him, talking

with him and getting to hear him live. So that will be on Thursday.

We have a musical guest tomorrow as well, skyping in in the second

hour, Becoming Human. They're gonna be joining us, and they've got they've

got a great They've got some great stuff. I'm gonna actually play one of

their songs at the top of the hour today to kind of give you a

little sneak preview of that. Actually, I'm gonna give you a I'm gonna

give you two for Tuesday at the top of the hour. Well no,

well that's what they say on Radio two for Tuesday. I'm not actually going

to play two Becoming Human songs. I'm only gonna play one. But I

usually only play one song at the break as we transition from the first hour

to the second hour. But I'm gonna play two songs today. I'm gonna

play something from Becoming Human and I'm also gonna play the track Angel, the

great single from the band Infinite e Vain, because I happen to be wearing

for those of you watching online, you can see to be wearing the Infinity

Vein shirt, this wonderful shirt they had made for us. There are another

Texas band, but we talked to them via Skype a couple times and they

made they made this wonderful shirt where it's got the band's logo on the front

and on the back it's a custom shirt. On the back it says uh

WMH ninety five point three FM. They were so uh. They were so

grateful to be interviewed and have their music played on our on our program on

the station here. So they sent us a couple shirts, one for myself

and one for Jenny. So I'm gonna play their single at the top of

the hour as well. So so yeah, that's what I meant when I

said two for Tuesday, You're gonna get two songs. Usually only get one

song, but they're both uh you know, three minutes and change, so

they're shorter songs. So there you go. Six zo three two five six

seven is a number to call today. Six zo three two five six zoo

seven. You can also text me at six one seven nine one seven four

four seven six. I'm on social media at Matt Connerton. You can email

me Matt at matt Connerton dot com. You can interact endo in the Facebook

live chat. But the best thing to do so that we can hear and

enjoy your dulcet tones is to give us a call at six zero three two

five six zero seven. And my friends, I do have one other very

exciting programming note for you. Although this particular programming note does not actually involve

me or this program or a WMNH. It is about my dad. My

father will be officially a guest tonight on a Patriot Confederation. Now, if

you're a longtime listener of the show, you might be familiar with Billy Painter.

He also goes by Bad Billy, but I like to call I like

to use his real name Billy Painter because I just think it's a cool name.

I think it's an even cooler name. I think Billy Painter sounds even

cooler than Bad Billy. That's just what I think. God, I don't

know if I've ever told him that directly, but I think you should just

use Billy Painter. It sounds like a he sounds like a musician, right,

you know, Hey, do you get the new Billy Painter or CD?

You know what I mean? So anyway, he's not a musician,

of course, he's a talk showist. But it's his show that he does

along with John Grosvenor on is It WSMN in Nashua, New Hampshire. But

you can you can actually go to the YouTube channel. If you go to

the Patriot Confederation YouTube channel, you can stream the show live. So that

will be tonight at seven pm Eastern with Billy and John again, John Grovener,

who does a show in Nashua. They're gonna have my dad on as

a guest. I assume I assume my dad's calling in. I assume he's

not skyping in because we're zooming in, because I don't think he's set up

for that. But so that'll be interesting. I don't know if I'll get

a chance to hear it live or not, but it'll be on YouTube so

I can catch it after the fact if I don't get to hear live.

But I know my dad listens to this show, so Dad, good luck

tonight with that. I'm sure it'll be fun. I think I was trying

to remember on my way here if I'd been on that show or not.

I definitely did something with Billy and John via Zoom, but I don't think

it was for Patriot Confederation. I think it was for Billy's show Outlaw Radio,

but I'm not one hundred percent positive on that. It was a while

ago. It was several months ago, but I had a good time doing

that. So so anyway, so yes, my Dad, me Padre me

Familia will be on the air tonight in Nashua, New Hampshire, and of

course online again. Go to the Patriot Confederation YouTube channel. Let's go ahead

and say hello to everybody in our Facebook live chat here, and then we

shall get into some stuff. Jenny of course joins us and says shalom peeps.

Also, Jay Fed from the Great State of Vermont says good afternoon everyone.

Jay Fed is asking does he sing? Paul Simon, referring to our

guests, our Thursday guest Peter Pappis if you're just joining us. He's asking

that because I made a comment that in one of his pictures he kind of

looks like Paul Simon. I don't know if he does any Paul him in

songs. He does do covers and originals, but I don't know if he

does any Paul Simon. Let's see, Jenny shared in the Facebook live chat

the link to the Infinity Vein Facebook page and also the Peter Pappas Peter Pappas

Facebook page and the Becoming Human Facebook page. So there you go. Check

all of those wonderful artists out. Please, you'll be glad that you did.

Let me give the studio line one more time. Six three two five

six seven six zho three two five six seven before we get into um,

before we get into any political news and so forth, because you know,

the president made it official today. He announced his reelection and so forth,

and they made a nice video and he he didn't do an official campaign rally,

but he went and spoke at a union event and it was kind of

like an unofficial campaign rally speech but to coincide with the video. But it

is now official, So we'll talk about that a little bit in a moment.

We probably won't spend a lot of time on it because, frankly,

to me, it's kind of a yawn because we all knew he was running,

he just hadn't made the official announcement. So now it's just official,

but it's not. J Fed says in the chat room. Well, when

he was on Thursday, I'll just call him al. A's a reference to

the you know, referring to Peter Pappis Paul Simon song you can call me

al. Chevy Chase was in the video with him for that, remember that.

Let's see. But so, you know, we'll get into that,

and we've we've had a ton of other stuff. But I do want to

acknowledge this, Harry Bellifonte passing away today at the age of ninety six.

And no, I'm not going to play the Banana Boat song. I don't

care about that, but he also did. Harry Bellafonte was also very active

in terms of championing civil rights, and I happen to find this. I

was initially I wanted to share something. They kind of got into his broader

history in the civil rights movement. But then I saw this on newsweek dot

Com and I said, you know, actually, let's go with this and

we'll look at this article and this will be kind of how we memorialize him

today. Harry Belafonte's unique personal connection to Martin Luther King Junior. So this

is again, this is from Newsweek. This one up today as Harry Belafonte

has been has passed away at the age of ninety six, it says here.

Bernice King, the youngest daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. Eulogized singer

and civil rights activist Harry Bellafonte on social media this week, reflecting on the

close relationship that he had with her family, in particularly her father. Bernice

tweeted today along alongside a picture of Bellefonte at her father's nineteen sixty eight funeral,

quote, when I was a child hashtag Harry Bellefonte showed up for my

family in very compassionate ways. In fact, he paid for the babysitter for

me and my siblings. Here he is mourning with my mother at the funeral

service for my father at Morehouse College. I won't forget rest well, sir.

Quote. Earlier that morning, Bellefonte's longtime spokesman announced at Bellefonte, ninety

six, had died at his Manhattan home from congestive heart failure. Bellefonte is

remembered as a barrier's breaking figure who rose to start him at a time when

racial discrimination and segregation were still widespread in the US. Besides his success as

a singer and actor, his legacy is largely defined by his work toward achieving

racial justice and his lifelong friendship with doctor King. Bellefonte befriended the civil rights

leader early in his career, acting as a major donor to King's Southern Christian

Leadership Conference and repeatedly providing the funds to bail out King and other activists from

jail. He said that his political views were already in place when he met

King and that he was quote utterly committed to the civil rights struggle unquote,

but King affirmed his outlook. In nineteen sixty three, he participated in the

March on Washington, which was led by King and became the most prominent protest

action for civil rights in American history. King famously delivered his Eye of a

Dream speech as the event's keynote speaker. On the fiftieth, the anniversary of

that day, Bellefonte recalled how truly inspiring the march was and revealed his thoughts

on his friend's renowned speech, which he said he helped write. I did

not know that. I had no idea that Bellefontae had helped write that speech,

Bellefonte wrote in a twenty thirteen op ed for The Guardian, quote,

I was not surprised by the content because we had worked with him on it

and we were in tune with the message, but we were not prepared for

what was the delivery the oratory. The imagery flowed, the language flowed.

It was Shakespearean ute. In the op ed, he urged America to stop

the idification of King so people could quote begin to understand how an ordinary man

is empowered to find himself. King came from somewhere, and that somewhere was

the same hardship and struggle to survive of many of his followers. He had

the same fears and hopes and anxieties and aspirations. To deify him is in

a way to reduce his achievement and to remove the radicalism from it. Unquote.

Interesting, that's an interesting perspective. Bellefonte provided financially for the King family

throughout his friendship with the civil rights leader. The babysitter that Bernice remembered today

is well documented. Bellefonte had hired a nurse help the family shortly after Bernice's

birth in nineteen sixty three, at the peak of the civil rights movement.

Even after King's assassination, Bellefonte continued to give money to the family. King's

wife, Careta Scott King said of Bellefonte and her autobiography quote, whenever we

got into trouble or when tragedy struck, Harry has always come to our aid,

his generous heart, wide open nute. However, his relationship with the

King children was rocky at times. In two thousand and six, he see

I didn't know about this. In two thousand and six, he was disinvited

by the children to speak at Coretta's funeral after then President George W. Bush

said he would attend. Bellefonte had been an outspoken critic of Bush. In

twenty thirteen, Bellefonte sued King's three surviving children, including Bernice, in a

dispute over three documents that Bellefonte said where his property, but that the children

said belonged to their father's estate. The documents consisted of an outline of one

of King's famous speeches, reflections about the two men's friendship, and notes King

carried in his pocket the day of his death. The suit was settled the

next year, with Bellefonte retaining possession. All right, so there you have

it. So Harry, Harry Belafonte has passed away at the age of ninety

six. So I wanted to look at something to uh, you know,

to honor him. And um, let's see six zo three two five six

seven is a number of the time goes so fast. That's why I said,

oh, six three two five six z seven, if you'd like to

join us on the studio line today. Something I saw, by the way,

purely by we'll get to the Biden's announcement and that, but something I

just s happened to see purely by a happenstance. Prank stallone who is at

the c JS on Twitter. That is, of course Chris James from not

even a Show, our friend Chris James, our token Canadian. No,

we we know several Canadians actually, but but we love Chris James. Um

he this is just uh This is completely random, but it just struck me

as kind of f So, you know, if you're not familiar with Chris

on not even a show. He makes crank calls and but he does or

prank calls, but he does something beyond that too. He's got You've got

to see the show. Check out any as on YouTube and you'll be glad

that you did. It's very entertaining. But so this is on. He

tweeted this earlier. I just happened to see this. Texted Jordan Peterson to

ask him how he fell for a satire or article from a site called The

Dunning Krueger Times, and his response was to tell me to stop trying to

pretend I'm smart and cool and recommended a website to get my life back on

track. He never addressed the question. So this is what Chris James sent

to Jordan Peterson. Doctor Peterson, I'm genuinely wondering how someone brilliant like you

and a psychologist to boot could fall for a satire site called the Dunning Krueger

Time Times. That is a valid question, and Peterson replied, don't you

have something better to do with your life than sneak about like this? And

pretend you're smart and cool. Is that the best you can do? Try

the self authoring dot com site and see if you can put your life on

a more productive track. Truly. Now I'm going to click that link because

I'm curious what self authoring dot com is, But we'll do that in a

moment. Maybe our friend EASYG already knows the answer. EAZYG, what is

self authoring dot com? Can you tell us about that site? Hello?

Oh, hi, Hi, Hey, I don't really do any restarts,

but um oh, so you don't know? A guy named Larry Elder is

running for president. He's a radio guy. You know anything about that fellow

Larry Elder? Yes, I am familiar with him. He also ran for

a governor of California, Lengene Gavin Newsom. Yes, I am familiar with

Larry Elder. He is running for the Republic. Radio guy conservative. He

is, Uh, he's an African American conservative. He is very successful.

He's nationally syndicated and I've seen him on quite a few television programs. Very

bright guy, sharp guy. I you know, I'm not a conservative,

so I disagree with him on some things, but uh, but I do,

but I do respect him and uh, yes, he has thrown his

hat into the ring for the Republican nomination. Yes, you know, my

friends said he can't win because he's not old. Larry Elder is a joke.

He's not He's not in his seventies, righties, is he? Oh?

I get it? Uh no, Uh, he's probably he might be

in his sixties or younger. I'm not actually not sure how old Larry Elder

is, but seventy two or something. He's too young, you know,

seventy two. I don't think he's it. I don't think he's that old.

I think I Waken's gold. Google. I guess I might have been

wrong. I think he was says seventy two. Is Larry Elder seventy?

I guess it's possible. I didn't think he was that old. Let's see,

he's too older, run though, isn't he. You're gonna be a

really old not the way you mean too young to run? Boy? Yeah,

we need uh let's keep we get stuck. We get stuck with Trump

and Biden. I'm definitely gonna be. I'm definitely gonna be. I'm gonna

be angry. Uh prepared to be angry, because that's exactly what's likely to

happen. Larry Larry Larry Elder is done on duck, then Larry Elder is

seventy seventy Okay, yep, yeah, I'm not gonna be happy. But

oh yeah, First of all, I'm gonna vote for um somebody else.

I shouldn't. I shouldn't WoT fall on the on on your show, because

no, I was listening. That's my personal business, right. I shouldn't

be announceding on the radio. Uh what what shouldn't you be announcing that you're

going to announce anyway? Why? I'm right? I think I already.

I think I already announced it. Im An, you won't be around in

the general lux Nicky Hilly in the primary election. Oh you, you will

be on an election in November. Probably she will not be the nominee.

The nominee will be Donald Trump, and we will get a rematch of Trump

versus Biden. God help us all. And I'm not even a religious man.

I say, Biden's already beat Trump before, So don't you think he

would have a good chase of beat them again? I think so. I

think so. Jen Jenny doesn't think so. We disagree on that. I

think he will beat Uh, I think he will beat Trump again. But

I you know my feelings, easy g and I think we agree on this.

I'd prefer that neither of them were running. Uh, I say,

we don't need to elect an old the president three times in our own Yeah,

I say, let's let I know, it's a little you know,

it's a little scary, you know, putting the kids in charge. But

I think we should elect a young, fresh faced sixty five to sixty seven

year old to get it, some some young whipper snapper in their sixties to

get in there. And uh, you know, we don't need to be

electing. You know, Biden will be eighty two upon his inauguration if he

wins the second term. Trump is in his late seventy. Seen his little

promo, uh, you know, vote for Me on h W m R.

It was like three minutes. Oh god, it sounds good. You

know who's promo the Joe binding things from what why He's running from president?

Oh? The video? Yeah, commercial and not commercial with the video on

WMR. Last three minutes. Yes, I think it's well done. I

mean I think by vote why, I'm running and I gotta do this and

do that and it's like, oh, Okay, finish the job. That's

the that's the slogan. Apparent promised the moon. And then they say,

well, I don't have time to finish all four years. They gotta have

another four years. Well, you know, very rarely a president loses.

I don't Joe, oh god, Trump's senior laws, but very rarely the

president of all trouble laws. Did you just say, really, president loses

for the second term, right, did you just say Trump senior? Because

I don't remember Fred Trump ever being president, Biden senior. Biden he didn't

win the election. In court, Trump still thinking he won, but Trumps

he lost. Biden. Very often, president does not win your election.

You don't see that very often. Oh that's true. Yes, well you

do have a the Ricardo, then why not? I guess yeah, the

Ricardo. Then I went, yeah, I mean and and coming. Some

believe it or not, he's still hanging on. He's a fighter. I

guess he's still be in a hospital for a while now. Yeah, he

is in hospice. Jimmy Carter, of course, Yes, he also president.

I think it's like ninety seven or nine of you. Yeah, he's

he's he's pushing he's pushing a hundred. Yeah, right, but I'm glad

he's still hanging on, you know, yeah, fighter, Yep, he's

done a lot of great work. The president lose the second term, right,

does happen very often? Doesn't happen very often? We can only hope

he does. But then again, we're stuck with the other guys. Damn

Ford, Damn we don't. Yeah, I'm gonna go back to voting third

party. I think for this election. Hey, I vote on doctors.

I voted for Gary Johnson in both twenty twelve and twenty sixteen. I might

be you know at this point, Hey, he's not running again, though,

is he? I doubt it? But hey, you know what,

give me the guy, give me that Larry Old. I know he won't

be he won't be on the radio report though I said, I don't know.

I say, give me the craziest third party independent candidate you can find

and run him, and I'll vote for him. How's that? Screw it?

Once I got with a thing on his head, that brew on his

side, the seat running again, vermin supreme, I certainly hope so I'll

vote for him. He's on your he's been on your show. Right.

Has he been on your shoulder for Yeah, he's been on my show multiple

times, yes, only on only on the phone. Has he been live

in in the studio. I don't think he's been live in studio here with

me at w MNH. He was when I did the television show. But

we've had him on the phone, We've had him to a call in here

since I've been at WMH. I believe, yeah, yeah, the guy.

That's a lot of good ideas, but I don't think he has great

ideas. EZG Listen. First of all, dental hygiene is very very important.

Um, I'm not sure about the free pony. I think it's a

great idea as long as it's not compulsory. You shouldn't force people to have

a free pony because what if they have nowhere to put it now? Our

friend Nick Murdoch, who is in the chat room says in all caps,

free ponies for all Americans. I would say I would make it like,

you know, like Pete Boudagage, he had the medicare for all who want

it. That was his thing. I would say I would modify that to

free ponies for all who want them, not everyone can handle of Pete Bodajage.

No, the other guy who's just talking about Verbon Supreme, the guy

in charge, the guy in charge of the roads, the guy in charge

of the roads. No, no, you're red for president before Pete Boudagage

the transport. Shouldn't you run again? Yeah? I said that before and

you said no. Uh yes. I do think he'll run again in the

future. He's not going to challenge Biden, if that's why you're getting at.

But he'll run again in the future. What is the third party?

No, he'll run again in the future, like he'll run in twenty twenty

eight. Oh yeah, he's still Yeah, he's still around ours. He's

he's a young kid. He's gotta be one at fifties. No not,

he's like barely he's probably barely forty early forties. I think he was Oh

yeah, yeah, you're right. He was hen I'm at him for a

second direct theater. Yeah, d you like him? I shock his hand?

That was it? Yeah, what's you think Darrel Darrel Dagan's father.

Yeah, kid was there. Bendy got a show, Oh my god,

w w Yeah, you got a show on the radio. Ben. Oh,

he's not listening. Bendeon of the Weekly Die. Yeah, I saw

him there too. He hadn't met a lot of the camp. Well,

one last question, are you guys gonna be done as a general election?

I mean the primary probably in the early January. You guys would be done

at the hotel again. Oh, I don't know yet. That's the ways

off. Probably I would assume. Yeah, I was a good radio guys

went through all the people and yeah, it was fun. Yeah, I

enjoyed that very much. Stephen Conley Senior came and visited us. Stephen Connley

Senior with the guy with the secret document. I wasn't gonna mention that name.

I wasn't gonna mentioning a guy's name anymore. I have a very nice

picture of myself with Tulsi Gabbard from that event. Of course, now she's

a total psycho. But yeah, I met her man, heard the matter,

heard the bookery. Uh huh. I was I was gonna vote for

him, but the I didn't. I wasn't an independent that time. I

voted for the other guy. Oh. Probably would be along the studio anymore.

But you brought it up, easyg. This is very important because Scott

Robinson ings this up and I know you're not. This is not an official

entertainment report, but perhaps you can answer this. Scott Robinson says, I

heard the Hulkster is running for president. That's who I'm voting for. How

can you confirm that? Easyg Are we gonna get some news his hulkamania gonna

run wild in the White House? Yeah, Rustling one more thing I heard

that. I think it was just kind of causing trouble as he always does.

The ce him Funk was hiding out back and he was talking to people

and talking to Triple as he said, Hi, I guess, and then

visiting Mantel and hit the road. You think that's all about. I think

it's all but it's all good. It's all about. It's nothing of the

sea there. He's still contract a W right, He's only it's twenty minutes.

Do you think it's gonna be I don't think he's gonna go so w

to leave on good terms. He is still under contract with a E W.

His appearance backstage at a w w E event was either a publicity son

or he genuinely wanted to bury the bury the hatchet and hang out for a

little bit. But yeah, they had to ask him to leave. Yeah,

he was there briefly. Well it was in Chicago and that's where he

lives. Um, but they did have to ask him to leave because they

don't want to get accused of contract tampering because then they get right, yeah,

think about that. Yep, yep, So they didn't want him sticking

around. Who knows I wanted his contract for it. They don't really ad

outside anymore. They don't want it really announce all along the contractor for it.

Plus they got like that want didn't want to give that information. He's

on I don't know if it's going back. He's on a multi yefferent business.

I wrote that on the Facebook. Messager wrote that. He said,

it's not to do about nothing. You don't think it's coming back to WWE,

right, No, what's your opinion? Maybe someday, But he's got

it. He's not a multi year deal with a e W he's going back

to He's supposed to be on the June of that they're running in Chicago.

They'll be there and then talk about him being on the Saturday Saturday night show.

Yes, and Eric could that was a bad idea their new Saturday show.

Eric who you you're Eric, No, the other the other Eric Privlos

the guy does we reviewed? Oh, Eric Filcher? Yes, so I

thought maybe you meant Eric Saturday Night show? I agree with Yes, how

much? How much wrestling you watch? EASYG? Yeah, all right,

well that's my my store of fat. Go open the lines with somebody else,

easy G. You are a real American? All right? Very good?

Wow, let's just hear a little bit of this Shelley. Yes,

I genuinely like that song. I always have a little bit of Rick Derringer,

real American who I believe. I think he's actually Canadian, but I'm

trying to research that. Um I actually uh. I got in touch with

his management once, Rick Deringer's management, and uh, I asked for I

asked to see his uh you know, they claim he is actually an American

and I said, well, I'd like to see his birth certificate and uh

and I got a response. I said, well, are you one of

those people who if even if we show you as birth certificate, You're just

going to claim it was fake and photoshopped and still not believe it. And

I said, uh no, I'm not one of those folks. But point

taken six ZO three two five O six Z seven is a number if you'd

like to join us today. Six three two five O six zero seven.

Uh. Miriam Bannish joins us in the Facebook laugh chat, Hello, Miriam.

Nick Murdoch says, Jesus mayor Pete is young forty one. I'm older

than Pete. Why are they letting kids run for potus? I know,

yes, I mean it's crazy, right, I mean, you know you

gotta be I think, uh, you know, in this era, you

should be at least seventy seven years old. Nick Murdock also says Tulsie was

always a total psycho, grew up in a cult. When she was like

seventeen or eighteen, she was anti LGBT. Oh, she was in anti

LGBT ads. I didn't know that. But her weird cult decided to go

Democrats, so she did. But now not so much going Democrat. Oh

yeah, she's totally flipped. I mean now she's uh yeah, she's she's

totally moved over, you know, but but she's she cashed in. You

know. It's uh, um listen. I I've always said, obviously people

change over time. Some people do, some people don't. Some people change

politically over time. They evolved or they evolved, depending on your point of

view. And uh, but she's she's one of those who I don't think

it's genuine with her at all. I think she uh the stuff she says

now, uh, you know, it's like whoa, you know, she's

she was going on Tucker Carlson on a regular basis and going on there and

disagreeing with him about everything. Uh she's uh, she's totally pro Russia,

anti Ukraine, as was Tucker Carlson. Probably why they got along so well.

Uh not sorry to see that guy go, you know, uh going

on you know he uh he actually, I mean we might get into it

today if we have time. There's there's uh some growing consensus about why uh

he was given the heav hoe from Fox News. But uh uh you know

he was probably the biggest pro Russian propagandist in all of conservative media. Well

yeah, I mean he I shouldn't say probably he was, you know,

I mean he came right out and said, I remember when the invasion first

happened. He came right out and said he was he was rooting for Putin.

Um, you know, I don't know, Uh, I mean,

it's one thing. Listen, it is one thing to have questions about.

Listen, I've said it on the show. I mean, I have questions.

I've doubts. I've worries about potential nuclear escalation with the Russians, for

example, and I think that's the legitimate thing to be concerned about. And

our involvement in this. I know, you know I mentioned Billy Painter earlier

because tonight my dad is going to be on Billy's show along with John Grosvenor,

and I wonder if, I wonder if they'll get into that. You

know, my dad's position is he's very pro Ukraine and very anti Russia and

anti Putin. And I know, I know, I don't know what John

Grovenor's position is. I know Billy's position is, you know, we shouldn't

be uh, we shouldn't be involved. My position is, of course,

we have to stand up to Russia and we can't let this abide. And

I think we've been doing the right thing in helping Ukraine. But obviously,

if you know, if it begins to look like actually are on the break

of World War three, I might change my mind. But so but the

point of making is it's one thing to have questions and doubts and concerns.

In fact, I think it's healthy to do so if you're if you're totally

committed to one position, you know, you might not be thinking about it

hard enough if you don't have any doubts at all about how we're proceeding and

how the United States is managing our involvement there. Having said that, Tucker

Carlson would not present it that way on his show, and neither would Tulsey

Gabbert, and neither would others on both the right and the left who continue

to Although the ones on the left that I see online like what's his name,

Jackson Hinkle and people like this, I don't think. I think they're

just in it for the grift they see. They see a lane there that

they can make money with. Um. Jackson Hinkle definitely a grifter in my

view. But it's one thing, like I said, to have doubts and

questions and concerns. It's another to just be totally like, well, yes,

we have to support Putin, you know. I mean, maybe Trump

laid the ground work for all of that when he stood next to Putin and

and Helsinki incided with him against our own American intelligence agencies. But but that

was Tucker Carlson's position. No, he's he's pro putin. He wasn't shy

about telling you, and he wasn't subtle about it. And uh so I

am happy to see him gone, frankly, but not that he's really gone.

He's gonna pop up somewhere and he'll he'll he'll have taken a big chunk

of that audience with him. Oh sorry, I didn't see this in time,

Scott. But Scott was asking in the chat room, easy, can

you give a shout out to my granddaughter Amara. She's in the car with

me. I'll give her a shout out. Shout outs to Amara or Amera.

I apologize if I'm not saying that correctly. M Yeah, Pete Bootage.

Miriam brings it up to, Yeah, Pete Bootage only forty one years

old. Yeah, when he was when he first got into the presidential race

in twenty twenty. I mean, he was by far the youngest, the

youngest candidate in the field. It's hard to believe Tulsi Gabbard was also on

that stage with the others. So I'll tell you, but yeah, Axios

does have the story up here. This was Yeah, April twenty First,

this one up Larry Elder, as EASYG brought up. He says he is

running for the presidency. Oh, but the thing that I wanted to look

at, so I want to see what this, uh this site is that

doctor Peterson, Jordan Peterson was recommending to Chris James this self authoring dot com.

I'm curious what this is, Okay, I guess it's just about self

publishing your own books. Why would Jordan Peterson send Chris James that site?

Though, Like, what's what's the point of that? Is there some sort

of joke there I'm not getting. I don't understand my feelings about I can

tell you though this my feelings about and I suspect Chris James and I might

disagree on this. My feelings about doctor Jordan Peterson are a little complex because,

on the one hand, I've seen interviews with him where he's made political

arguments where not only do I disagree with him, but some of the things

he says, I think he sounds himself like he is might be insane.

On the other hand, some of his self help stuff, some of the

videos that he has posted. I haven't read any of his books with some

of the videos that he's posted on YouTube just giving advice, mental health advice.

Some of that is actually really good. You know, he posted a

video I remember there was one day, you know, I struggle with depression

and whatnot and ideations that are not helpful, and there's one day I was

looking around for it, for stuff online to try trying to I don't know,

just reaching out for something on YouTube that I can watch that maybe it

would make me feel better. And I've been doing that for as long as

YouTube has existed, and I've known about it, looking for things to try

to make me feel better. Nothing ever actually does, but I keep searching,

and I stumbled upon one of his videos and Jordan Peterson he was talking

about suicidal ideations and he was saying and this I think he said it was

something that someone had told him or something that he had read. So he

didn't come up with this concept, but he was repeating it to others because

it helped him and his own depression, with his own depression and his ideations,

and he would repeat it to others. He would say, you know,

as far as um now they say unliving yourself instead of the other term,

because you know, you I suppose if I, if I use the

other term too much, I won't be able to post this video on YouTube

after. But as far as harming yourself, let's just put it that way,

he would he would tell people, you know, put it, just

put it off. Just put it off to tomorrow. You can always harm

yourself tomorrow. You don't have to do it today. Procrastinate And it sounds

weird, right, you know, Oh, that's how you deal with it,

just put it off. But the idea is every day you procrastinate if

you're having thoughts about harming yourself. Every day, when that when those thoughts

creep in, you just say, you know what, i have this urge,

this ideation, but I'm gonna put it off to tomorrow. I can

do it tomorrow. I don't have to do it right now. And then

every day you just put it off another day and another day and another day,

until you eventually get to a point where you get a break from the

ideations and and you don't think about it anymore and you're in a better place.

But just a sort of a quick, easy way, almost like a

cheat code, you might call it if you're a gamer, just a way

to deal with that ideation in the moment. Okay, you're you're having these

thoughts, you recognize them, but then you say the way that you deal

with them is you say, Okay, this is what I'm thinking about doing,

but I'm gonna but I can always do it tomorrow. I don't have

to do it today, you know, And it becomes a way of just

you know, you keep putting it off and putting it off, and you

know, it's the nature of procrastination, right, if you're a procrastinator,

if you're someone who puts things off, a lot of the things you put

off, you just never end up getting around too, right because you put

them off so long that after a while there doesn't seem to be a point.

You know, you say I'll do that when I get around to it.

Most of the things, if you say i'll get around to it,

you're probably that's another way of saying that you're never actually going to do it.

So think think of it that way when you have those ideations. Anywa,

I watched that video where he talked about it, and it I gotta

tell you, it resonated with me. I really got something from that.

I was like, all right, if I'm having those thoughts. Okay,

I'm thinking about this, but I'm gonna put it off. I'm not gonna

do it right now. I can always do it tomorrow. For whatever reason,

that connected with me in my mind. And I've I've seen some of

his other videos too, that where he talks about depression and ideations and so

forth, and I do I find um, I find his self help stuff

pretty interesting and um and useful. I heard David Packman once say something similar.

If you're not familiar with David Packman, he's he's an online he's a

content creator. He and uh, he's someone who's also very critical of Jordan

Peterson politically, but he did acknowledge he said, uh. In one of

his videos, he said, you know, someone who helps self help stuff

is actually pretty good. Jay Fed in the chat room says ice bath can

help with depression. I don't know. If I get hypothermia, I'm gonna

probably be more depressed. But Jay Fed he's always trying to talk people into

the ice bath. No, it sounds like it's it's working wonderus for you,

Jay Fed, and you're you're still you're still getting something from it.

So I think that's great in all seriousness. I think that's awesome. Wouldn't

be for me, but I think that's awesome. Miriam says in the chat,

I had a bad feeling about Tulsi from the start. I don't know

why, but apparently it was accurate. I need to trust my gut.

Oh yeah. Miriam also said obsessing about some intense interest can raise dopamine levels,

which is super helpful. Watching puppy videos. Listen to a singing clown,

Yeah, that one just works for me, of course, referring to

Puddles, Puddles, Pity Party, the singing clown. He's very talented.

Jenny actually went to see went with Miriam to a show to see Puddles and

conquered. Not too too long ago, Chris Rose from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

joins us in the Facebook live chat. Hello Chris anyway, but I applaud

what our friend prank stallone on Twitter at the EJS what he does. And

I am truly baffled by how doctor Peterson chose to respond to Chris's query about

the sat the satirical website. I'll tell you what, though, there's always

people who will believe. I mean, I don't think anyone really believes the

Onion if they see a news story from the Onion. Everyone knows the Onion,

but or Babylon be. I think that one's pretty obvious. But some

of these saterial websites, they'll actually fool some people and then people will will

see them. It's happened to me where I've shared out a news story from

a satire site and then people you know, most people know, but there's

always somebody who who will start commenting on it because they they think it's real.

It's like, no, no satire, what's the there's a military one

like duffel Bag News or something. Um that it's it's funny, but not

everyone gets it. It's but that's the nature of humor though anyway. Everybody's

sense of humor is different, and there's some types of humor. Listen,

I've said things. I have a very dry sense of humor, and I

can be very uh. I can say almost anything with a straight face,

no matter how completely absurd and insane sounding it is. And I'm sure that

I've said things on this show where I was kidding, and I assume the

audience knows I'm kidding, but there was probably somebody out there listening, especially

if as a newer listener who doesn't know my sense of humor, who thought

that I was completely serious. Um. Yeah, Miriam says, not everyone

gets satire. Yeah, satire, it's not. It's not a kind of

humor that everyone can really appreciate. Nick Murdock says, Not Even a Show

is how I found Matt Connerton unleafed. Yes, thank you for that,

Nick. Yes, well, we're so glad that you found us, my

friend. We are so glad. Yeah. I've definitely benefited from being it's

so funny. If you're a long time listener, you already know the whole

story, So I won't go through the whole thing. But the way that

we originally wound up on Not Even a Show was the very first time because

I went back and I found all of them the very first time that Chris

James ever called us. When I realized, like months and months later,

who he actually was and where he was from and what he was doing with

this content, I just thought he was a prank caller. I always suspected

it was something specific that he was doing, but I wasn't sure what it

was. I thought it was for some sort of content, but I found

the very first episode of not even a show where he called us and yeah.

Nick says Chris would order a pizza and say a swear word yeah.

The very first time Chris called us and he put us in his show,

he introduced the clip. This was before we became friends. He introduced the

clip by referring to me as a right wing shock jock. He said,

Matt Connerton is a right wing shock jock, and we had some fun and

because apparently that's how he perceived me initially, which is funny because I'm not

right wing clearly, but I must have I don't whatever, something about me

gave him the impression that I was, and I don't know, I don't

know why. And I remember I was on a show that he was doing.

What was the name of it. He was doing this other show where

he would have guests on an interview of them. I can't remember the name

of the show now because he's had a bunch of different content over the years.

But but I remember asking about that, and he didn't remember that actually,

that he had that misconception about me. But anyway, but he learned

he learned more about you know over time that I'm not conservative and he learned

that I actually have a sense of humor and you can prank call my show,

and I'll actually go along with the bit because to me it's interesting and

I'm like, let's have fun with it, and you can call and make

fun of me. I don't take myself that seriously. I take the show

seriously in the sense that I'm passionate about it and I take pride in it,

but I never take myself that seriously, which is important. And we

ended up becoming friends, so which which I'm very happy about. Well,

we should get to the big political news of the day, which of course

is uh sorry, I'm getting a sleepy just thinking about it. But Joe

Biden, eighty year old Joe Biden didn't announce his candidacy before we get into

it. And again, we're not gonna spend a lot of time on it

because, like I said to me, it's a big yawn and a snore,

as I've demonstrated, because we knew it was common, we knew he

was going to announce. It's going to be Trump versus Biden again in twenty

twenty four. That's what we get. Doesn't have to be that way,

but that's what. It's good that that's the trajectory that we're on. I

don't see it changing. But let me give the studio line number again quickly,

six three two five six seven six three two five six seven. But

one thing that Biden did say that in his speech at you know, he

gave a union speech. He's very pro union. Of course I am too.

That is something we agree on. But during the speech, and again

it sort of served as you know, it wasn't an official rally speech obviously,

um, that wasn't why he was there, but it did sort of

serve as that by default. But he quoted Trump on something and it's something

that I've talked about. So if you're a longtime listener of the show,

you know I'm not a big fan of the forty fifth president, Donald John

Trump. I have many criticisms, but I while I have my opinions,

I try to be fair and give credit where a due And something that I

always gave Trump credit for was his position on the debt ceiling. Well here

this is what we'll actually here. We'll just go through the article because it's

not very long, but we'll get to that. But Biden quoted something Trump

said because you know we're And by the way, I am not to be

a downer and not to alarm anybody. I am genuinely worried. I have

the same level of worry right now that I did in the summer of twenty

eleven, twelve years ago about the debt limit. And you know, I

don't know if people know this, but we've already technically crashed through it.

Right now. The government is operating under what they call extraordinary measures. I

think that's the term, extraordinary measures where they find ways to pay for stuff,

basically even having already passed a debt limit. But eventually that will expire,

could be in June, could be sooner, and when that does,

the country will go into default for the first time in our nation's history.

So we do this dance with the debt limit. I think they should get

rid of the debt limit and then we don't have to do this dance.

But something I always gave Trump credit for it was he was right. He

said, we are not going to negotiate on the debt limit. We will

not use that as a negotiating tool. It's reckless and stupid. I remember

mcmulvaney at the time when this came up during the Trump administration. By the

way, Republicans voted three times during the Trump administration to raise the debt limit.

No mcdeal and I remember mcmulvaney making the rounds on the Sunday morning talk

shows and explaining it on more than one occasion. This is the president's position.

We don't use the debt limit to negoti for anything. It's a separate

thing. We can't fool around whether it's too dangerous. And he was right.

That was something Trump was absolutely right about. I'm worried about the current

trajectory of things, however, because the Biden administration is saying, we want

a just raise the debt limit like you had been doing during the previous administration.

We want a clean It should be a clean bill, separate from everything.

No negotiating on it. Just raised the debt limit on schedule so we

don't risk default default. And of course Kevin McCarthy is saying, no,

we have spending cuts that we want and we want to negotiate, and at

some point they're going to have to negotiate. I mean, Biden's position is

correct. I believe in principle the debt limit should be voted on separately as

a clean bill, and it should be done with because, like I said,

Trump was correct, Reagan was correct, this is something you have to

You cannot. You cannot risk defaulting on the full faith and credit of the

United States. You can't. It has never happened in our history, and

it will be catastrophic if it does happen. It's not a question of whether

or not it will be catastrophic, it's just a question of how catastrophic.

So so, Biden is correct in principle. However, I think he's going

to turn out to be incorrect in practice. You know, the principle is

correct, but I don't think he's going to be able to avoid some sort

of negotiation. But Kevin McCarthy, he's walking a high wire because you know,

he's got people. There are people in the House, in the Republican

House, he's House Freedom Caucus people, some of them who who would actually

rather default to say we won't vote on the debt limit for any reason,

we won't vote to raise it. Some of them, I think, genuinely

don't understand the difference between the debt limit and the federal budget itself. That's

a problem. But Anyway, this is the one part of Biden's speech that

I thought was interesting. So again this is from media. I thought this

was a smart play. I don't think it'll yield anything ultimately, but it

makes sense. Biden quotes Trump to slam House Republicans using the debt ceiling as

a negotiating wedge. So it says here President Joe Biden spoke at North America's

Building Trades Unions conference in Washington today and torrent House Republicans using the debt ceiling

as a negotiating wedge to cut spending, even quoting former President Donald Trump to

make his point. Biden spoke just hours after officially announcing his reelection bid,

and while he never directly mentioned the campaign launch, the President took aim at

MAGA Republicans. Notably, MSNBC was the only cable news network to carry the

speech live. While speaking about closing tax loopholes for corporations and animated, Biden

declared, quote, we won't even talk about raising taxes just to stop the

subsidies. Same old trickle down dressed up in magaclothing and unquote Biden raged as

he had announced the GOP opposition of making big corporations pay more in taxes.

Quote, only worse because this time they're saying that if they get their way,

if they don't get their way, if Biden doesn't agree with them and

agree to all the cuts and these tax increases for others, working people,

they're going to let the country default on its debt. Unquote. Oh,

then he said, quote this is debt that took over two hundred years to

accumulate. The last administration alone increase the debt by nearly forty percent in four

years. In four years, and every single time they passed the debt ceiling

without any question. Default would be totally irresponsible. It would mean cuts in

Social Security, Medicare, higher interest rates for your credit cards, car loans,

mortgages, the entire economy put at risk. Moody's you know that Economic

Operation had comments on the economy. They said the Republican plan would cost seven

hundred eighty thousand jobs, seven hundred eighty jobs working and middle class seniors paying

the price. The speaker likes to quote President Reagan. I love these guys

how they selectively quote people, including makeup quotes for me. While President Reagan

made it clear, we pay our debt seriously. Here is a quote from

him. He said, the United States has a special responsibility to itself and

the world to meet its obligations. It means we have a well earned reputation,

reliability, and credibility, two things that set us apart from much of

the world. Now, I didn't think i'd be quoting Donald Trump, but

even Donald Trump said I can't imagine anyone ever thinking of using the debt ceiling

as a negotiating wedge. And Trump was right. These guys are saying,

unless I agree to cut all these programs by twenty two percent, which is

growing the economy, and cut taxes for the super wealthy incorporations, folks,

America is not a deadbeat nation. We pay our bills. Now. Again,

I don't know. I haven't analyzed what's in the McCarthy plan that was

released. I don't know about that twenty two percent, if that's exactly what

it is. And obviously that's a you know, when you negotiate, you

know, you start at something you know you're not going to get, and

you negotiate from there and you try to meet somewhere. But so I don't

know, I don't know about that. How accurate that is, and they

are going to have to sit down at some point. They're just going to

have to. But Trump was right, and Reagan was right, and Biden

is correct in quoting them. They were right. I also George W.

Bush, I believe that was his position as well when he was president.

Wasn't not We raised the debt ceiling on schedule. You have to, you

cannot risk default. But somewhere along the way, I mean, it started

with the tea partiers, who actually, again, you know, I find

myself doing this more lately. I was a co host on Rock Paper hand

Grenades. Gary Hopper God Rest is Soul. He passed away not long ago.

I love Gary. But on that show, you know, I was

we would have these conservatives on who some of them just didn't seem to get

it. Because again, summer of twenty eleven, I was on that show

at that time, and we would have these people on, who were they

actually wanted? It wasn't just a matter of well we should negotiate spending cuts

and this and that. Some of them. I'm telling you, they sometimes

I tell people this and they say, well, I don't know anyone who

would say that. What I'm telling you, these people exist, and then

then they old elected office, some of them would come on and they would

say, no, we should default. We have to we have to draw

a line somewhere. We should go ahead and default. And it's like,

Okay, do you understand the difference between the dead ceiling and the federal budget.

I'm not sure you do, but they didn't want to hear it.

Scary stuff to contemplate. I hope that's not where we're headed. I was

very concerned in the summer of twenty eleven, and I'm very concerned now.

But Biden and McCarthy are going to have to sit down and negotiate something.

But part of the problem is, like I said, Biden's correct in principle,

but not in practice, because he's not going to get what he thinks

he wants and what he should want and what we all should want in my

view on this, which is a clean raising of the debt limit. Better

better still, by the way, Mitch McConnell at one point, Senator Mitch

McConnell, obviously the Republican leader he in the past, is proposed, maybe

we should just get rid of the debt limit and then we don't have to

go keep going through this playing chicken with the not just the economy of the

United States, the global economy. The global effects that the United States going

into default would have would probably be quite astrophic. And this is something that

economists, you know, across the spectrum will tell you, whether they're Canesians

on the left or supply siders on the right, any economists with any sort

of credentials will tell you, yes, default is a very very bad idea.

Ion m vmon four in the chat room that sounds like a the name

of a science fiction film, says, good afternoon, hashtag Matt. We

said, what's going on? We are from Greensboro, North Carolina. I

suspected that what are you talking about today? We said? Biden is a

good being president. We say, and Trump just an ex president. Duh.

We said, we are from Greensboro, North Carolina, and we are

a pop singing group of a man man hashtag Matt. Yes. And Nick

Murdock says top of the hour, Time for a break? Yes, Nick,

my my my trustee. U producer uh Eon Vmon Forrest says vmon like

that bad hero from Spider Man three? Wait is this is this supposed?

don't know what's going I look, listen, guys, I don't know what

goes on in Greensboro, North Carolina. Let me just put it that way,

all right, I'm gonna play a couple of songs. Yeah. Nick

Murdock said the same thing, Venom. I don't know who is the bad

guy in Spider Man am I'm not a big superhero movie guy. I don't

care about any of that. I just don't Sorry, I don't know.

And I uh and I'm sure Greensboro is a lovely place, but I don't

know much about it. So uh. Mariam Banish says, uh, I

definitely think he's thinking of Venom. Okay, so it is Venom, so

so why but doesn't this say eon Vmon's I see. I still think that

sounds like a science fiction movie Eon Vmon four. It sounds like a planet

that they would visit. I don't know who they is, astronauts. I

don't know. I don't know what's happening. Melanie says, maybe Spider Man

should mind his own business. Thank you, Melanie. I agree, and

listen, I gotta just tell you this. I think no offense. But

Crystal from Illinois joined us in the chat room. Our friend Will Vegas who's

a friend of wmnah Hero. He says he's been on the He's never been

on the show. Will has been on the morning show a bunch of times.

And also he joined us on a Friday night for a Retrospectrum radio with

Paulic. Will says, we say we love that song becoming Hunan. We

say, is that how you say that? Instead of becoming human? Becoming

Union And Nick Murdoch said in the chat there was a restaurant in my hometown

that actually had that as a typo human chicken. It said, a good

restaurant from what I recall, even if they were serving soil and green soiland

green as people if I understand the movie correctly. That's disgusting. What is

the is? Oh? Yeah, Nick is asking a technical question in the

chat room. Nick said, feel free to ignore that question if you want.

I know you're a political show, and that's more of a tech head

Terry question. Yeah. Tech Head Terry actually did call the show once and

began peppering me with a series of technical questions tech. If you don't know

tech head Terry, he loves tech. He just loves talking about tech.

There was one that's from not even a show. There was one segment where

he's asking somebody how do I how can I make money? How could I

make a career with my love of tech? And this guy's selling him,

well, do you want to work for? Do you want to do get

into tech support? You could work for a helpline helping people with their technical

problems. And tech head Terry is like, no, I just I just

want to talk about tech. I just love tech. It's just you have

to see it. It's very dry humor and it's very very funny. Nick

Burdock says, what kind of microphone you work in? With? There?

I think, I you know, I don't even know. I don't even

know what brand this is. Actually it's funny, A very expensive one sounds

good though. Huh uh six three two five six zero seven is the studio

line six two five six seven. Hey, this is weird. Um,

I just uh remember Peter Navarro the trade guy from was his official title,

I don't know, from the Trump administration. He Um, he's very mad.

This is from media dot com. He's very mad at Brian Kilmeade,

very angry, and it has to do with Tucker Carlson. I really don't

want today's show to be all about Tucker, so I've got some other things

to get to. But well, actually it hasn't been all about Tucker.

We talked a lot about Biden and his big announcement today. Again it's a

you know, like we all knew he was running. We didn't all know.

Actually some people thought he might not, but come on, we all

knew anyway. Peter Navarre, this is what this is from media. Peter

Navarro, torpedo's cowardly scumbag, never trumper. Brian Kilmeade for replacing Tucker on

Fox News. This is a dude. I mean, I guess Tucker Carlson

was his buddy or something, but come on, it says here x.

Trump administration official Peter Navarro lashed out at Fox News and Brian Killmeade over Tucker's

firing, calling Killmead a quote cowardly scumbag unquote for daring to host the eight

pm time slot Carlson Its occupied. Monday saw a stunning cable news blood bath.

Oh there you go, Melanie, if you're listening, I know you

like that word bloodbath, as Fox News fired top rated host Tucker Carlson without

warning. Then within minutes, News broke that CNN was firing longtime anchor and

central pillar of their morning program in an equally shocking faction. Carlson's firing jerusal

celebratory victory dances and insults from Carlson's critics, while Maga World cried out with

the anguish of incinerated Alderon residence. Kind of reaching with that reference there.

And when eight o'clock rolled around, Fox and Friends host kill Meade was in

the host's chair to give his great friend quote unquote Tucker and eight seconds send

off? Really what did he What did he say? Just R Tucker will

miss you or something? Wow? Eight seconds thirty one seconds fewer than Lemon

got from his colleagues at CNN this morning. That pillin spot did not sit

well with Navarro, who lashed out at kill Mead on Twitter. When Killmead

invited followers to tune in, Navarro responded by writing, quote hard no at

Brian Killmead, you never Trump suck puppet. Your midget feet won't fit at

Tucker Carlson big shoes in this lifetime cut the at Fox News chord now unquote.

I wonder, like, does he have something personal against Brian Kilmead or

would he be saying this about anybody who was sitting in in that time slot.

I mean, what does Peter Navarro expect Fox News to do? Never

have anyone hosts in that time slot ever, agen and just have it be

reruns of Tucker Carlson's show out of respect for Tucker, Like, what is

he expecting? I don't understand his anger. It seems a bit misplaced.

I mean, I've seen a lot of I've seen, you know, on

social media and every I've seen a lot of wild reactions to Tucker Carlson's firing,

but this one is probably the most unhinged I've seen, you know.

I mean, I'm no great fan of Brian kill me, but come on,

somebody's got to sit there at eight o'clock and for kill me, and

hey, you know, good for him, this is this is a big

break. You know, Maybe he'll because because I have no idea what Fox's

plan is, but I would not be surprised, just because this is how

it often goes in cable news. I would not be surprised if You'll see

a number of different people sitting in over the course of the days, weeks,

potentially months, sitting in in that spot hosting that hour, and they'll

kind of watch the ratings and see who clicks and who doesn't, and who

seems like the best fit and who seems like they might be best suited for

you know, because that's you know, that's a prime slot, that's prime

time, right, you know, they'll they'll go through that. This is

what I assume again, just because this is what usually happens, and they'll

they'll make a decision eventually on who will be the permanent person. So kill

Mead is probably you know, I'm sure he loves Sucker. I'm sure he's

very sad, but at the same time, opportunity knocks, He's got to

answer the door. I don't understand why Navarro is so irrationally angry at Brian

Kilmead. It says here again, this is from media. He then quote

tweeted himself and added quote btw by the way, this is why at Brian

Kilmeade is such a cowardly scumbag. An honorable man would have declined to sit

in for at Tucker Carlson the very first night of the firing. But no,

the biggest never trumper at Fox News this side of Carl Rove went for

the carcass unquote what so, no one is supposed to sit there at eight

o'clock and anyone who does is dishonorable. And I would hardly call Brian kill

me At a never trumper. You know, I don't think that term means

what you think it means there, mister Navarro. Navarro also lashed out at

Fox News on Monday night's edition of Newsmax TVs The Balance with host Eric Boling.

Eric Bolling, isn't he another guy who got who got pushed out of

Fox because he was accused of something I'd forgotten about him? I mean,

there's been many who been pushed out I'm not suggesting that in Tuckers. We

still don't know the reason for Tucker, but it might be. It's probably

it sounds like because of Abby Grossberg, not because of sexual harassment, but

because of anti Semitic comments. It might have been made, but we don't

know that yet for sure. But that's probably what it's looking at. But

I think Eric Bowling didn't he sexually? Did he sexually? Are asked somebody

or you know, like, that's why Bill O'Reilly got pushed out, right,

That's why Roger Ailes he was running the place, he got pushed out.

That's why. Oh there's been others. Seems to be a but I

forgot about Eric Bowling anyway. So this is the exchange they had over on

Newsmax. Peter Navarro said, well, I just want to salute the king

of eight pm television now that the only thing worth watching on Fox News is

gone that network. Fox has cut the chord, that that is a network

that's a never Trump nest of incompetent puppet heads. Eric Bowling the king of

the eight o'clock hour. Now on cable TV, watch Bowling, and then

Eric Bowling responded, will stay conservative. We're not going to move to the

center left like Fox is doing. Peter and Navarro. Always good to have

you on. Thank you, my friend, Bye bye, thank you,

thank you. Yes, Fox News they've gone center left, apparently as evidenced

by their firing of Tucker Carlson. Oh. Nick Murdock says you were one

percent right about Eric Bowling and shared a link This is from the La Times.

Yeah, I couldn't remember the It's hard to keep up with these guys.

Yeah, it says uh here yeah x. Fox News co host House

died over scandal, joins Newsmax. This was back in June of twenty twenty

one, so a little under two years ago, says here. Bowling was

cut loose from Fox in September twenty seventeen. Oh okay, was that long

ago? He was originally on the five I think, following an investigation into

a huff Post report that he used his cell phone to send unsolicited pictures of

his man parts. Shall we say that's some cleaning it up for radio.

To current and former female colleagues at the network, what a guy? Jeez?

The you know what's interested to be about some of these guys, you

know, when they're chosen mode of sexual harassment is sending unsolicited pictures of body

parts is the I mean, the lack of judgment is beyond stunning, but

also just the lack of impulse control, because even if you have a very,

very poor judgment, there has to be there has to be. It

might only be a teeny tiny whisper, but there has to be a voice

somewhere, way way back, all the way in the back of your mind,

perhaps just so you can barely hear it, but it's got to be

there, that voice that says, this might be a bad idea sending these

pictures unsolicited to current and former female colleagues. There has to be that voice.

But I guess if it is just a tiny whisper, you just ignore

it and you light your own career on fire. I mean, I'm just

that's always fascinating to me, but just in a broader sense. I'm always

fascinated by that too. John Hopplin and I have talked about this on the

show. When you see someone with a career in news or there's some other

type of celebrity and they just they just exhibit the worst possible judgment, And

it's like I've always been fascinated by the psychology of that. What is it

to drive someone to do that? Like somebody who's on top of the world.

They've got everything going for them, They've they're having a great career,

they've got all this success, and then it's like one day they just look

down at their desk and they say, you know, there's a big red

button on this desk that says self destruct on it. Maybe I'll push it

and see what happens. What the hell? And then they just blow themselves

up. I mean, it's just bizarre. But I think our friend Charles

Richardson from the Great State of Florida is on the line. Hello sir,

Hello, good afternoon. Hey, who's hey? Charles? Just let me

ask you quickly before you discuss whatever. I'm just curious. Do we have

a winner yet in the Desantists versus Disney deathmatch from Florida? No, that

death match is still going on right now, still going on with Mickey having

the full white glove power. Has anyone taken a steel chair to the head

as of yet? No, not yet, there's but no interference has been

been a pretty boring match. Gotcha? Gotcha? I heard that. I

heard I heard the crowd chanting, we want tables right, Well, I

would, I want, I want to, I want to press on this

issue with the unsolicited body parts. Uh of you see, the thing is

it's also very gender related, like all the pressure and all the all the

the the bad stuff happens to the guys when they send it. You never

hear about the females sending their unsolicited body parts over uh the pictures of them.

I don't know why that is. I don't get it. It's just

I think I think it's just pointed directly at males. Uh and me personally.

No, but he's ever asked to solicit my my body parts, so

it's always going to be unsolicited, So I don't understand, you know,

what's the harm in that? But uh, yes, I am. I

am very very very focused on that little itty bitty noise that my my brainmates

to say, this is a bad idea. But I do, like I

do with anytime my wife tells me to take up a trash, I ignore

it. Oh but doesn't a little tiny voice in the back of your head

say, ignoring your wife when she asked you to take out the trash is

a bad idea? Yeah? Yes, same thing. Yeah, because I

would assume there would be consequences for that as well. Not really, but

I don't know that until later. Ah okay, I get the pictures.

Yeah, But the bottom line is I think people need to go ahead and

stop accusing the male gender of exposing themselves when the female gender doesn't get any

type of reaction like this. I feel it is definitely one sided and I

could be wrong, but that's my honest opinion on that. So, um,

I think they need to you know, what, male body parts lives

matter? Okay, wow, wow, right, I don't know, all

right, Charles, thank you for the car by. Yeah, I don't

think uh, I honestly couldn't tell if he was kidding or not. Um

I I don't think women tend to do that, at least not to their

colleagues. Um. Yeah. Well, and you know Nick points out too

in the chat it's probably one sided because there's only men in power who do

it. Yeah, exactly, um male, And he made an observation in

the chat that uh, I can't read on the air, but that's uh,

that's you. You're probably right when you say that. Yeah, I

mean, yeah, you know, yeah, but uh yeah, I just

like I said, the the the poor judgment and lack of impulse control is

just uh stunning. Charles says in the chat room, I was getting he

lol. Okay, just making sure Charles, you know, because uh,

you know, Florida is a little different kind of place, if you know

what I mean, don't you know? But uh yeah, Charles was you

know the the show that I was talking about earlier that my Dad's gonna be

on tonight with Billy Painter and John Grosvenor. Charles was on there, I

think it was last week or the week before, and they were talking about

the whole uh Disney de Santis. It's it's just it's absolutely bizarre. I

I don't know what constituency de Santis is going to win when he does begin

to win over when he does declare himself a presidential candidate. But there's a

lot of people, I think, uh irrespective of political ideology, there's a

lot of people in this country who really love Disney, and uh uh and

Charles and his family they love Disney, and I just, um, it's

it's bizarre too to watch. Nick says, I've only sent unsolicited picks to

Rocky huber h Scott Robinson says Matt's sexual harassment goes both ways. Just look

at the documentary Horrible Bosses. Oh yeah, no doubt, no doubt.

Um it does. Uh, but I think it tends to go much more

one way than the other because uh uh you know men, and there's there's

something I don't want to get into it, into all of it now this

late in the show. But the psychology of it, I think un.

I think men are I'll just say this, I think men are far less.

Men have far less self discipline and impulse control as uh some do,

as evidenced by by people like Eric Bowling for example, than women do.

Um, of course women can you know, it's certainly is possible for a

woman to sexually harass a man, uh if a woman is in a position

of power, for example, and and she has a male underling. But

I just don't know if it happens. I don't. I don't think it

probably happens that often, uh comparatively. Um. Yeah, well, if

you'd like to get them with a call six three two five six zero seven

six three two five six seven Um, I think though, because because it

can him up. Oh hello to Margie Prime. That's a new name in

the Facebook life chat. Allow there, let's look at this quickly. So

The Hill dot com has a story up about this um and like I said,

you know, I think a lot of people love Disney regardless of ideology.

This. The Hill has this article De Santists versus Disney feud divides GOP

over attacks on quote woke companies. So it says, here, let's look

at this because, like I said, I just don't think there's an upside

to what De Santist is doing here. And by the way, it also

looks very asked Chris Christie pointed out Chris Christi, who's rumored to be potentially

running for president. It's not very you know, Republicans are supposed to be

pro business, right, so why is De Santists just because And this whole

thing started over the don't say gay bill. I know some people object to

calling at that, but we speak of these bills in shorthand regardless. So

you know that's what it came to be called loqually so to speak that don't

say gay bill. Disney spoke up, spoke up against it, and so

to Santa said, oh they're woke, and I must now attack them at

every opportunity and try to run them into the ground. And it's like Disney

is an enormously popular company and you know, God knows how many people go

there every year to go to Disney in Florida and Republicans, Democrats and what

have you. Right, So this is a big risk and it seems just

inherently anti business. What does Santa's is doing? And Chris Christi pointed out,

you know, he's not a he's not a really a conservative. I

mean, obviously he's a conservative with all this culture war stuff, but but

he's not a pro business conservative if he's using the power of his office and

the power of government to constantly attack a company like this. Melanie, I

can't read that comment on the air either, but I do, I do,

I do agree with you absolutely. Mike from Queen City Cabinetry joins us

in the Facebook live chat. Hello Mike, Queen City Cabinetry and the Historic

Sunbeam. Mall one of our great sponsors here at WMH ninety five point three,

and Mike is one of our co hosts on Retrospectrum Radio with Policy on

Friday nights. So it says here Republican attacks on quote woke American corporations are

exposing deep divides within the GOP, with some Republicans worried the party is strained

from its roots by going after the internal politics of big businesses. Right,

see, there's a conflict there ideologically. And I've cited too on the show.

Recently there was that Marist poll that showed that fifty five percent of Republicans

surveyed don't agree with all this anti LGBTQ plus legislation, you know, all

the anti trans stuff. They think it's it's the wrong path to be going

down. Yeah, it makes I mean, obviously there's probably millions of moderate

suburban Republicans who are much more concerned with the price of groceries than they are,

you know, obsessing over trans people, right, just practically speaking.

But so, but this is causing a bit of a divide, So it

says here the Republican at the center of the fight is Florida Governor Ronda Santis,

who has tested the limits of the party's appetite for government crackdowns on private

industry with his war on Disney and Disney World. Prominent Republicans are denouncing to

Santis's efforts to punish Disney for speaking out against what critics dubbed Florida's Don't Say

Gay law. Separately, a push by conservatives to boycott bud Light over its

marketing partnership with a transgender influencer has also sparked internal debates. Nick Murdock says

in the chat, Conservatives have never been for small government. They just want

a government to be fascistic. Well, there's there's uh, I think there's

that element, but there are different kinds of you know it, just there's

different kinds of conservatives. I think there are conservatives who are genuinely small government,

but I also think that um. In other words, I guess what

I'm saying is, I wouldn't paint conservatives with that broda brush. I don't

think. I don't think conservatives they all don't. They don't all embrace fascism,

certainly, but some do. Some clearly do absolutely. I mean DeSantis

is certainly coming across that way here, let's see it says here. This

debate looms large over the twenty twenty four race. De Santis is drawing heat

from his potential twenty twenty four presidential opponents for escalating his months long feud with

Disney, one of Florida's largest employers and taxpayers. Former President Trump, who

is leading to Santis in the polls, said last week that De Santis is

quote being absolutely destroyed by Disney. Disney's next move will be the announcement that

no more money will be invested in Florida because of the governor, unquote,

Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, later speculating that Disney might

leave the state entirely. By the way, and again, it's not often

that I'll I'll agree with Trump, but he's right there. Disney has out

maneuvered De Santis thus far. And you know when he says Disney's next move

will be the announcement that no more money will be invested in Florida because of

the governor, well, I mean nobody at Disney is going to say that

overtly but implicitly. I don't think Disney is actually going to leave Florida.

That's uh. You know, it's not like is a disney World or Disneyland.

It's a Disney World, right, I get them mixed up. I

can't keep track. You know. It's not like they can just pack up

and leaves. It's not that easy. It would be a pretty tum into

operation. And it's not like the Santas is going to be governor forever.

But um, but we'll see. Oh Charles is calling back high Charles.

Oh yeah, yeah yeah, you you know, starting to go in depth

about Disney again. So it's like I had to call back. Yes,

by the way, I was joking. Listen, I've i've I've fondly enjoy

unsolicited oh female pictures. So sure, sure, that's why I was joking.

Okay, good, I just know, I just this Disney World.

And secondly, they have way too much invested in there to ever leave it

would actually cost them billions in revenue. And to even to go ahead and

do another park in somewhere else just to replace it is there's no way.

Oh yeah, that's too much invested. Yeah, no doubt. Um.

One of the things that the Santas after Disney went ahead and pulled the rug

underneath him, he went ahead and said, you know what, We're gonna

go ahead, and apparently he lobbied a bill or something or resolution to where

his cronies apparently can vote um to basically turn overturned the judgment of the Disney

owning the rights to the land, which and then it's gonna turn to to

a court battle. But he also stated on there that he's going to use

the outland land for Disney to either build a park, a park that to

compete against Disney, or put a prison. I got the impression though,

Uh, and you're you're there, so you tell me what the impression is

there. But I saw the clip of him saying that, like musing about

building a prison next to Disney. I got the impression he was kidding.

But do you think he was serious? No, I think he's serious.

I think he's the crazy goon that the crazy goon that he is with him

doing everything like this. Oh yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't put it

past them. Wow. And and it's it's right that everybody that's that's that's

gone ahead against him on this whole Disney thing, is right. How do

you go ahead and punish your largest employer, your largest revenue maker, and

this whole tax thing. This is the largest taxpayer in Florida? Yep,

yep. So how are you gonna go ahead and punish them? Oh?

Well, they're they're they're not the Kingdom anymore or they're you know, they're

not their government. They're paying you a buttload of money every every year,

you kidding me? Yeah, So I don't know where he's getting his facts.

I think he's just really you know, hurt uh that you know,

somebody actually called him out and says, well, we don't support this,

and it's like, oh really, Well, it's like, you know,

you just picked up my girlfriend and I'm just gonna go ahead and I'll show

you, right, Yeah, I mean, and it's very Is that Is

that the type of image you want in the White House? I mean,

I think we kind of already saw something like that over there with Trump a

little bit, but this is like ten times worse. Now. It's like

it doesn't matter how big you are, how how how much influence you have,

you're gonna get at taft regardless. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's a

level of pettiness that is beyond what we're used to seeing even in politics.

And also met too. I know you're you know, you're you're more way

more political than I ever am. Don't you think all this going on,

don't you think maybe it's a sign of the First Amendment being used against Disney

like they can't use their First Amendment right to stand how they want to stand.

Oh, absolutely, Charles, Absolutely, And that's a great insight.

Yeah, I mean, you know, they they they took a position.

It's all like they attacked de Santis personally or something like he's stating it.

But they just they took a position that they didn't agree with the bill.

That's all. And uh and that that's all it took. That's all it

took to set this off. Just incredible. But and believe me, like

I, like I mentioned on Billie Show, I'm not a fan of everything

Disney's done. Like they went ahead, they've taken it too far to the

point where it's no longer princess or prince. Now it's like guests, they're

not using the gender identities anymore. So now it's like they're they're all going

everybody's basic. So like everything you see is it's no longer hi, your

your majesty. It's like you know, the little cute phrases they use for

kids, it's no longer than anymore. So it's it's really they they've really

have become a little bit on the on the I guess the woke side,

but also to the point of listen. That's their choice. Yeah, and

am I happy with that? No, I'm not very happy with it,

but that's the stance they have. I'm still going to pay them the thousands

I pay them for an annual pass and go there and enjoy myself, right

yeah, um yeah, no, I'm well said, you know. Yeah,

but like you, like you pointed out, I mean, they're you

know, Florida's tax base depends on on Disney, and it's just crazy that

their whole revenue stream depends on on on Central Florida overwall and that's not just

Disney, that's Universal, Sea World, Bush Gardens, everything like that.

I'm just you know, I'm just gonna say one thing. When you're a

governor, you got married at the Grand Floridian Hotel in Disney and you're over

here attacking them. That shows really really bad presidents right there. And honest

to god, this is his last term. I will celebrate the day with

lots of drinks. He's gone, well, very good, you won't.

You won't be alone in that, I'm sure. Yeah, all right,

Charles. Anyway, I thought I had to chime in with those five cents.

Now, I'm glad you did. Thank you for the call, my

friend. You gotta take care of all right, bye bye, all right.

That is Charles of course from the state of Florida. And uh yes,

and and disney enthusiast um if you want to get in with a quick

call, but it has to be quick six three two five six seven six

three two five O six z seven Yeah, Nick clarified two in the chat

room. So Disney World is in Florida, disney Land is in California.

Yeah. I've always gotten the mixed up because I'm not a big idea.

I don't I don't go to amusement of parts parts really. Um, let's

see, let's just uh take one more quick look at this article. Yeah,

so Trump is attacking de Santis or tiny D, one of his nicknames

for him, on this and again it's you know, I agree with Trump's

criticisms as well as those of Chris Christie, says here are other possible twenty

twenty four Republican contenders, including former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and former VP

Mike Pence, have accused of Santis of betrained conservative princils of limited government intervention.

Yeah, absolutely absolutely, using government as a weapon against business. They're

right, They're absolutely right. Shannon is on the line. Hi, Shannon,

Hello, Hello, Um and Joy in the chat room there. Yes,

yes, did you say earlier? Did my hearing's going so a little

bit? Did you say? Never? Trumper suck puppet. That is what

Peter Navarro called Brian kill Meade, because Brian kill Meade at Fox News had

the temerity to say, when approached by management, apparently, oh yeah,

I'll sit in that slot tonight that was once occupied by Tucker Carlson. Sure,

I'll do it. And apparently this is just too much for Peter Navarro,

and he is furious. I think I was in the middle of eating

and drinking and I almost spit it out. Whenever heard that sounded funny.

Yes, well, it's no laughing matter, Shannon, Peter Navarre. But

but but you know, Peter Navarro is very angry. He's an angry little

man. Well, yesterday when you were you were talking about something and I'm

talking to the scene. You could be a comedian, you were Jenny.

You know, altogether, you guys could do stick stick whatever. We're like

Steve and the Dye. When younger listeners have no idea what I'm talking about.

Hell. If you're even, if you're even a day or two younger

than I am, you probably don't know. Do you think I am Steven?

You don't know Steve. See, I'm I'm too, I'm I'm even

too young to know. I don't even know why I know Steve. Oh,

what the hell is his last name? I can it's funny too,

I can picture him. You know. They're old, they're they're dead,

they're everybody in the town anyway, I don't know. See, just look

up Steven Eady. I don't know anyway. Yes, they were very funny

in their day. Apparently did um did you hear who? Special? Harry

Belafonte passed away at age ninety six. Yeah, okay, all right,

we have a good night, all right, Shannon, you too, Thank

you for the call. Alady Pure all right, you got it, bye

bye, all right, and we do need to wrap up. We are

out of time, my friends. Thank you all for joining me today.

I don't forget. Tomorrow on the show, we have the band Becoming Human.

We'll be skyping in from Dallas, Texas, and the second hour.

Look forward to talking with them. Thursday, we have our musical guests in

studio during the second hour, Peter PAPIs will be joining us. Really looking

forward to that. And one last plug tonight at seven pm my father,

Martin Connerton. He will be a guest on the Patriot Confederation. If you're

in the Nashua area, you can listen on I think it's wus Man if

I have the call letters correctly, but probably the easiest thing to do go

on YouTube, go to Billy Painter's YouTube page and the show will be streaming

there beginning at seven pm Eastern. And so apparently they're gonna have my dad

on via phone. I assume. I don't think he's set up for skyper

zoom, so he'll probably be calling in. But that will be happening tonight

have time for Brooklyn. Mike gotta grab this call, Hey, Brooklyn,

Mike him Steve Lawrence and Dy Gourmet. Steve Lawrence, Yes, thank you,

Steve Lawrence and Dye Gourmet, thank you. They were married couple.

They were primarily singing couples duet, but you know they had that comical rapport

between the two of them, didn't They have a variety show though that they

hosted. I don't recall. It's definitely not out of the realm of possibility

though. Okay, okay, gotchas, Okay, my friend, I'll let
