Welcome back to the program. Your hostess here with you on this Friday. It's always a tough day today. and it's a tough week.

Now in American history, because yesterday. We were observing the year of Charlie Kirk's murder. And then the day after now we're observing the murder of thousands of Amer of Americans. and the worst terror attack on American soil. And I'm not going to be I'm not I am It's weird because I am very much a cynic.

You will not meet... A greater cynic, probably, than me. I'm, as Mark Twain would say, I'm just a sadness. But Because he d he always thought cynics were sad. But I will say, I'm not a doomer.

There's a big difference, right? Not a doomer. And I'm not a doomer even now. I was telling Kane on break. That It is I don't even know quite how to put it in words to see the transformation that I have seen in Manhattan.

From 25 years ago on. And I was telling him I had some. friends because remember I when all this happened I think I was like just turning twenty two. And When all of this happened, I had friends that were not yet married and didn't have kids. And I had some friends that went to New York, some went into theater.

Uh some went into I've I was telling Ken, I have a friend who d did um Uh stage, like theater stage. uh set design, things like that. And They were very much leftists, right? But when 9-11 happened, And it wasn't. It wasn't because of politics, it was...

Really they were reacting to What they felt watching everything that happened. Indeed. Days and weeks following the attack. And again, these were leftists. Not that that should matter in such a time as this, but it does.

and they were wearing Bush pins and they were wearing flag everything. I mean, uh, you know, flag absolutely flag all the things. You guys remember, I mean, it was impossible. I couldn't even get a flag from my porch. We had the neighborhood kids made us some.

Isn't that sweet? That's the sweetest little thing ever. But it was The difference is stunning. And we I think everyone The way that Bush handled it, I think everyone was pleased with the way that they were pleased with his. His, I don't know how to put it, countenance, his, he was like calm when all of the stuff was happening.

And I get, I don't know how to put it. Everybody liked his response, and it seemed like that was the perfect time. The things that happened after though. Sentiment began to settle. And people had to return to everyday lives.

That unity that we had seen. Begin to dissipate. And there were some new realities that we saw that were very uncomfortable. And we were naive. And that's why I say we lost.

We lost our innocence that day. That gen those generations that were were removed by time, From 9-11. This was our touch point. And it it take it costs. You got a touch point.

And you got what it costs, and it the cost was American innocence. And I mean, in a reintroduction of cynicism. That has not been seen maybe since the early 90s after the economic turbulence of the 80s, etc. A real cynicism. And now here we are all this years later these years later.

I don't know how you would describe the sentiment today. But for some people there is as much anger.

now as there was. on 9-11. And I don't mean the people. Who are dealing with loss? And the aftermath.

I mean people like Illinois Marr. And anger at a country that has done nothing. But lift people up from where they are. Into a status because of the sheer presence of opportunity that they could never have hoped to achieve in their own country. A country that graciously and generously, and I think stupidly, opened its doors.

Remember, 9-11, and I'm going to say something. Charlie Kirk said, I've said this for years. Charlie Kirk said it. I think the year before he passed, that 9-11 began as an immigration issue, and he got really criticized for it. And all the people who criticized him for it were dead flipping wrong.

It did begin as an immigration issue because you had people here that were overstaying their visas. It not only began as an immigration issue, it also started as an intelligence failure. I know you know the story. We were talking about one of the gate agents who was one of the last people to see. That wasn't on the plane, one of the last people alive to see the terrorists, and he had a gut feeling.

It's not up to him to stop it. He's doing his job, but he had a gut feeling. That these guys were terrorists. Muhammad Ada. He was rude and he gave off a weird vibe, and that guy was like, Something is not right about him.

It's also the first time that political correctness factored into this, into something. And then you've got people like Zorain Mandani. I don't have anything nice to say. About him. When I say that, I think he is a terrorist simp, meaning someone who.

basically worships terrorists. I'm not exaggerating. I'm not engaging in hyperbole. I truly believe this. This is a guy who entertained a terrorist affiliate in Gracie Mansion.

This is who this is. And he clearly has problems with the United States. You have this flashback audio here. This flashback audio is RMM Donnie. The Mayor of New York City.

When was how many years ago was this? Do we know, Kane? Not exactly. I'm guessing it's somewhere between uh eight and ten years ago. Watch this.

We can't. here to remake this state in the image of our people. What does that mean? See, this is why I hate identity politics. It's a leftist tactic.

You want to know why identity politics is a leftist tactic? Because you have e pluribus unum. That is one of the grand things. About the United States. E pluribus unum.

Which he doesn't seem to get. E pluribasunum. Pulling up this. from Am Donnie. Out of many one, Illinois Mar doesn't seem to get it.

A lot of these people don't seem to get it. One of the things that the Marxists try to attack is the out of many one, e pluribasuna. What does e pluribasuna mean? Out of many one, one what? One united under the cause of liberty, one united by the animating spirit of freedom.

That is what that means. Out of many, one. It doesn't say what kind of many, it says many. The United States didn't pride itself on even having, by the way, A set economic plan. The United States was not predicating itself on an identity.

Because freedom is not found in such an identity. If you want to remake the state to look like you. That's a problem. Honestly, I'd say the state should be remade to look like the kingdom, or at the very least, the state should be made to look like freedom, the freedom with which it was founded, the freedom that was the vision that was intended by the people who shed a lot and gave their time and treasure and kin in order to make it happen. This is why identity politics is a cancer of the mind.

Identity politics is demonic, it's anti-American, and it's anti-liberty, and I don't care where or what side it comes from. There's no such thing as a heritage American. That is an idiotic, Marxist, simping, retarded term, and people who use it should be shamed. Because if you want to be free, you're a heritage American. Hell, my family, I have ancestors that were here a hell of a long time before anybody came over from the New World.

But I would never sit here and go, Heritage America. And that's stupid, because America didn't exist then. America is a great idea. Do you want to be free? Identity politics tries to remove that.

identifier. That is the only identifier that America cares about.

Now, as Christians, we say the only identifier is a member of the kingdom. As Americans, we say, Do you want to be free? Because that was the thread that tied it all together, e pluribus unum, the unity of freedom. That is what identity politics. kills when it's invoked.

Because you are immediately oh no no Where Not identifying as? People of freedom we're identifying as This hyphenated American, or we are identifying as this political American, or we made up a term with the woke Reich with Heritage Movement. We're using all of these, it's an identity politic. And Heritage American is still a hyphenated American. It's an identity politic.

The only one is do you want to be? Under Freedom That is the only identity. The matters. And that's why identity politics are dangerous because it seeks to remove that supreme unifier. And that was really put into effect.

After 9-11, because a lot of people realized we are under attack by a singular threat that hates all of us. Islam doesn't look radical Islam, and I know some people like hyphenate say radical Islam. Look, I'm going to tell you, holy books say what they say. And there's no reintroduction of a new covenant, but that's a discussion for another day. But when you have an ideology, That and that's what it this ideology was.

Is an ideology that doesn't care if you're a Democrat. They don't care if you voted for Zoe Ran Mamdani. Honestly, they'd probably run him up a poll as soon as they would you. But he's too stupid to see it. They don't care if you're a Republican.

They don't care if you're a damn libertarian. They don't care if you're a cisgender, whatever. They don't care if you're a dude who wants to be a chick. They don't care. They hate you.

They hate you because you are Western. They hate you because they are taught to hate you. And when you have generation after generation after generation after generation through the ages. Raised with such an ideology. It becomes woven chemically into your DNA.

That is why all of the plans to deal with this, thinking that you can use diplomacy. Thinking that you can politic. a religious Fanaticism. This is a religious war, not a political one. That's why, if you approach it as a political war, you will lose every single time because you're not even fighting on the same battlefield.

And that's what's so funny about. or so amusing about the way now that this is changed. Look at what's happening in Manhattan now. You have an Islamist? Mayor.

Look what's happening in Michigan. You got a guy, an Islamist. Running for Congress. People who will adopt buzzwords and TikTok videos and put on the robes of the West. but rejecting the heart of it.

They'll put on the mask of the West, but reject the spirit of it. They'll talk about unity while they spit on E. pluribosunum. Because they don't want to be one. 25 years later, and how quickly some people absolutely have forgotten.

And as we move, because we have headlines on the way, and then we're going to break down the convention, we got a lot more coming up. Our partners that help bring you the program. It's the folks over at Relief Factor. When it comes to supplements, Two things matter: does it work and can you trust it? And with Relief Factor, you don't have to take their word for it.

Right. Don't walk in head to toe in labels. If you're going to a very nice, swanky, you know, black Thai fundraiser. Don't show up looking a mess. Right?

If you're at a solemn ceremony. Where families Who Every year. Watch their loved ones' murders replayed. over and over again? A city that Had survivors walking around covered in the ashes of those who were crushed to death, by the collapse of two towers.

Maybe. Don't yuck it up. In a sidebar conversation. While All of this is happening. But apparently Zo Ran Mamdani and A O C were raised in damned barns.

And that's exactly what they did. Watch. Berneth Latchman. Ganesh K. Ladcut.

Yucking it up. Patrick Ladley. Names are being read and they are yucking it up.

Now you could say. Dana. You know, maybe they were just greeting each other. And it was a quick aside. Don't read too much into it.

Now No. For a couple of reasons. Number one, that has nothing to do with politics. I I would slap anybody that was doing that. at such a solemn occasion.

There were people crying. Crying. You know there are kids who never met their parents because they were killed that day? There are survivors. who still to this day struggle to move past what happened.

And you have two. Of Manhattan's Loudest.

Socialists standing there, yucking it up.

Someone said it looked like they were at the open bar. And this is after Those same families. Four weeks. and weeks and weeks. Begged Zoran Mamdani to not attend that very memorial.

But, Ma'am Donnie. A Nepo baby who's never held a job. who was raised to think that everything is about him and for him. Said hell no Because he doesn't care about the families of 9-11. He just wants to be photographed there so he can say he kind of cared.

And he has the audacity to stand there. And they're both he haunted up like some damn barn animals. Sitting there at the trough of an open bar. Giggling. laughing.

Talking while these names are being read. The other reason. And I don't care if it's a private aside. I don't care if it's private. You don't do that.

You shut the hell up and you show respect. Because in this country we don't give a rat's ass about whatever you worship in your third world, hell hove, from where you originated. You're in our country now. You follow our customs or you GTFO. And if you don't like it, GTFO even harder.

The other reason why I'm not absolutely going to give any extend any kind of mercy for this. And Ken, you made this point on break. What'd you say? Tell the folks what you said. What I put in slash?

Well, no, not that, but how? By Dims the rules. Oh, yeah, no, it's their rules. They're the one. Remember when Elon Musk was just throwing his heart out to the crowd?

The left made that a Nazi salute, and they still to this day. Make that a Nazi salute. Yeah. This is their rules. He grabbed his hand to his chest, and he acted like he was grabbing his heart.

like out of his chest. And then he threw it. And When he extended his arm to throw it, for that split second, they got that image, and that's what they did. Or, and Kane made the point when Joe Biden was looking at his watch when you had dead soldiers in caskets from Afghanistan being hauled off. Yeah.

Yeah. No, those are the rules, guys. You established the rules. And If you don't like it, that's too bad. You're going to choke on it.

We're going to shove it down your throat and forcibly close your jaws. And you're going to deal with it. And if you don't like it, we really don't care. We really don't care. Just The absolute.

Audacity Now it gets worse. I know, can you believe it gets worse? 'Cause I'm Ramandani.

So eager to make this whole day about him I mean, do you remember? He was the real victim that morning. He talked about. How, when he was in school. And this was After 9-11, when he was in school, he was talking about how.

A teacher pulled him and another Muslim student. out of class. and said you guys might get bullied. You guys might get bullied. And he made it all about him.

He's always made it all about him. And remember when he was running for office and people were bringing up 9-11 and he was accusing everyone of being Islamophobic. It's not Islamophobia when there's statistical evidence, right? Like, I'm not going to say. That Every Muslim is a terrorist.

But probably 99% of terrorists are, I'm just saying. Statistics. If you don't like it, then change it. I'm not modifying my facts to fit your lie or your delicate, impotent, weak feelings. Not going to happen.

Yeah, this is flashback. Watch this. There would be these moments where I would be reminded by someone whose intent was to tell me that you do not belong. And one of those first moments was on 9-11. when before I knew what had happened.

My teacher had pulled me and a Muslim classmate of mine out of the class and told us that something has happened. And you may be bullied. And I want you to tell me if that happens. And frankly, I was lucky because most Muslim students in the city were not given that kind of care from their teachers. And yet in that moment I realized that I was not simply another classmate in a middle school.

I was distinct. And there was a marker of that distinction on me. He also cried. Remember after 9-11, he was like, oh, my auntie couldn't wear a hijab. But he had to actually walk back this back.

But watch this. You remember this flashback? Watch. Hmm. I want to speak to the memory of my aunt.

Who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab. Hmm. The thing is, is he lied about it because his aunt Doctor Masumo Mehmedani. lived in Tanz uh Tanzania and never wore a hijab. Never wore a hijab.

That's his only direct answer.

So then they try to modify it. He tried to go, oh, I meant. My cousin. And then he's like, oh no, no, my cousin, yeah, that conveniently passed away. And then he tried to go, Well, you know, we always call everyone Auntie.

Well, that's a crock of garbage. Don't sit here and act like you're the only person that has a trademark on having a big family or coming from a big family. No, you don't call every damn person auntie, but every person is a cousin. If they're not your your aunt or uncle or cousin. Sitting here.

No, you just lied. You tequied everybody. And you got caught. Huh. Of course you did.

And by the way, he's changed that damn story so many times.

So after they came out, like, dude, your only direct biological aunt literally never wears a hijab. And he's like, Oh, I meant my cousin But they could never actually prove that either. And they kind of walked around that.

So he lied, he made it up because he's a liar. He's a terrorist simp, and he's a liar. It shouldn't be surprising to anybody. I literally have nothing nice to say. I don't have a single.

I don't think that this guy has one redeeming quality.

So They're laughin' and yuckin' it up.

Now it's a main story right now, so we're gonna see. This is what you're going to see today. How much you want to bet? Because they're yucking it up and there's a lot of bad press.

Now what e what happens, ladies and gentlemen, whenever Democrats do something stupid and get themselves bad press, what happens? Oh ur. They're the victim. Oh, aren't you victim? Is it mean to me?

They're the victim. Every single time, they're the victim. And they're going to do it again. Oh, you're Islamophobic because you're criticizing me. That's what Zohar Mamdoni is going to say.

How about you're America phobic because you try your ideology tries killing all Westerners? How about that? I'm so damn tired of hearing about Islamophobia. Shut up. What about Americophobia?

What about Westernophobia? For crying out loud, you've had the same damn ideology for thousands of years carrying out this goofy ass jihad against everyone that doesn't think like them. And yet, we're supposed to be worried about Islamophobia. Get bent. No.

No, what They are the ones that have Americanophobia, Westernophobia. We can put that, we can make up words too. Look at that. I mean, we're not the ones that have been carrying out systemic genocides of different people for thousands of years. We didn't actually even start the slave trade.

That was African nations conquering each other and the and then you had Islamists coming in and taking advantage of it. Look at that. And now colonizing the United States. After colonizing Europe, Colonizing the UK. following girls in Scotland.

Never forget. No, people forgot. People not only forgot, But then they decided to commit suicidal empathy. And sadly, one of the people who contributed to that. was the guy who stood on top of the rubble and said pretty soon, This is the Jonas brothers from Hey Jonas.

I went to the RNC yesterday, and I know, I know, I was going to avoid it because I've been to a lot. And it's not because I'm a snob or anything. It's just, you know, I'm in my 40s now. I've been doing this since I was in my 20s. In fact, 9-11 was the thing that really kick-started it.

As you guys know, if you have any familiarity with me, I was raised by Democrats in a Democrat house, and I did not meet a Republican until I went to college.

Now, isn't that kind of backwards? Can I just stop there for a moment? Because my family was like, oh, that girl went up to the city and she went and got done brainwashed. That was kind of the prevailing thought. Yes, I said worshipped because that's the correct way to say the word that doesn't have an R in it, is worshipped.

Absolutely. Correct. And if you don't believe so, my grandmother will come back from her grave and haunt you. I think she is singularly the one soul who's figured out the way how.

So. I did not meet a Republican until I went to college. Isn't that weird? Because usually it's like, oh, you go to college and you get like rewired to become a Democrat, and I didn't. And you would think That because I was raised Democrat, literally in a Democrat bubble, like I lived in a Democrat Union part of Missouri, raised by a Union Democrat family.

Everybody in my family was Union Democrat, and we had a large family, all Union Democrat. And if there was one, maybe, we didn't really know. I think I had a cousin. who was a few years older than me, that really wasn't, but God forbid you'd say anything.

So, like, we grew up not crossing picket lines and all this. That's how we were raised. Like, you, oh, you got a picket line, now you don't cross it, go somewhere else. I mean, that's just how you're raised. A big time Union Town.

Big Union family. And um They were all most of them were auto workers. We had auto workers, we had people who worked in like mines, and then metal workers.

So that's who Th th those were the unions that our family worked in.

So, I literally did not meet a Republican until I went to college. I'm not even joking. Not even joking. And At first I was like I gotta be honest, this is gonna sound really naive. I was seventeen years old when I started college.

And it was a culture shock. And what the culture shock for me wasn't the other lefties. It was the people who were not lefties. They were so normal. They made everyone else seem nuts.

Does that make sense? They. I realized, I'm like, is everyone I know nuts? That's like what I thought. I don't know how to put it.

I'm like, damn. Are these people crazy? Like you go back and you're listening. The first time I went back, After the first time after starting college, that I went back to my big family Thanksgiving. My uncle was railing about Something, I can't remember what Republican it was, railing about it.

And Clinton was president. No, yeah, Clinton was president. And he was railing about Something or other. And it was so weird. It was just so odd.

And um I thought, wow, that's wrong. I don't know why, but it just didn't sound right. And I... was exposed, right? Was exposed.

And then 9-11. Just pushed it. to the very end. I don't ever think I really truly was a Democrat. I think you're raised that way and you go along with it, and when your teachers are Democrats, and all your friends, and all their families are Democrats, and your whole family, when you don't literally know anybody else but that.

I mean, and I was never there was never any effort to introduce me to it. I mean, I sought it out myself as I started going to college. I just thought, why is that so different? I remember thinking, why is that so different? Like, first, it was, why are you normal?

And it was just a very stark contrast. And there were things that the super that, well, now they're not the super far left, now it's the left. That they were saying at protests in college and in editorials in the paper and all of that that I didn't agree with, and they didn't make sense to me. Government spending, things like that. Didn't make sense to me.

Like they would talk about defunding the military. They would say things like, it's crazy that we have to have a bake sale to raise money for school, but the government can have like millions of dollars for military. And I'm like, well, technically, one of them is constitutionally listed. Yeah, but You dare didn't say that around, you know, in your Blue enclave because, but I just remember thinking this, and it just wasn't adding up. 9/11 totally pushed it over.

After 9-11. I was like, oh, you got a problem with me? Blank you. It was just on steroids and it hasn't stopped. But it didn't make me like a full-on.

The phrase that so many people who don't know how to properly use it, neocon. I was never a neocon. I still am very. Very opposed to conflict, except when necessary. And then, when it's necessary, I don't want mission creep, and I don't want anything to spread, and I just want just glass.

Because that's a consequence of war. One and done, get it over with. And I say all of this because I think 9-11 really sharpened the perspective of a lot of people. One of my friends was telling me A friend that I that someone I work with professionally. We handle some stuff.

And they were always kind of leftist. And we, there was even hesitancy about working together because this person was leftist. And then over the years of working with me they began very slowly starting to adopt to my way of thinking. Because I wasn't really emotional or in their face. I'm like, well, look, that's why this is wrong.

You can take it or leave it, but the facts don't align and here's why. And for them, October 7th pushed them the rest of the way over the line.

So they call themselves an October 2, there's actually a phrase, it's called the October 8th Jew. And that is a real thing. And I think that that's kind of similar to a 9-11 conservative.

Someone who The last Refuge for their ideology was that America was so big and strong that nothing is ever going to happen here on our shores. And that bred apathy and then look what happened. And I think that's very much true. And I think for a lot of people, that also was the same for them. It sharpened their perspective, or it woke them up.

or it activated. their ideological DNA, however you want to put it. And I think for some people today, For some men to day, Uh For instance, some of the younger men. They were how do you want to say? Their conservative ideology was activated by the Kavanaugh trial.

But even more but even bigger than that, by Kirk's killing. You know, they're political ideology would be activated because they would witness The ridiculousness. and the persecution and the unfairness and the unjustice of it all from that.

So there's these different moments, and it's very I always am very intrigued by hearing. How people maybe came to a fuller realization because of 9-11. I definitely got into politics. More. I was always into it, but I definitely got I it what The reason I'm sitting here today is because of that.

experience. For sure. For sure. And I was one of those people who believed: yeah, you know, we're the United States, no one's going to mess with us. Apathy can be weakness.

That's why there's definitely a piece through strength. I wanted to play this audio soundbite because I have an issue with it. This is when it When this first was introduced following 9-11, that's kind of when it started going downhill. This is the president. We played this just a little bit last hour, but to reset the table.

This is quote or sorry, this is cut for. I want you to talk about a couple of those events. You talked about going to the Islamic Center and trying to make sure that our Muslim American citizens knew that we didn't blame them for what had happened. I also made it clear that Islam was a religion of peace. not a religion of war, and that these people subverted their religion.

Yeah. And as I said last hour, no. And I'm also tired of, oh, Islamophobia, what about Westernophobia? Religion of peace. Can you prepare audio cut seven, please?

Everybody is seen, I think. The 9-11 Memorial. If you haven't been there, you at least know what it looks like. I've never seen it from this angle. They have pool cleaners.

for the 9-11 Memorial. It's one thing. To see it. from above. But I want you to watch this video since we're talking about religion of peace.

And I want you to look at what it looks like from another angle. This is cut seven. I work at the 9-11 Memorial and I'm a pool cleaner. The first time I went in the pool about eight, nine years ago, I was like, wow, this is just amazing to see how vast it really is. Me and two other workers.

Clean the pools, put a vacuum and brush. We clean the pools five nights a week. We work at night from midnight to eight in the morning and try to keep them as spectacular as we can. It's a long eight hours. But it's worth it.

To take care of this place is very, very important. I was here on 9-11. I worked at the New York Mercantile Exchange. I was walking through the The building to get to my building when the first plane went right over head. When I got to work, the next plane hit and The rest is history.

Bad history, but we're trying to make it better every day here. When I'm cleaning the pool I think most of the time I'm thinking Did I do this well? Because I don't want to come out of that pool eight hours later and.

Somebody saying Wow, that pool looks bad, you know. Then I would feel bad, but luckily, we do it well. It gets dark in there sometimes. Thank you. You lose yourself in there, but uh it's Pretty beautiful to see that sun come over the wall.

It's it's Something uh most people don't get a chance to see. Whew. Powerful. And I think you can apply that to a lot of things, can you not? He's in the middle of it, he's right there in the heart and soul of it.

And he's like, It gets pretty dark, but then you see the sun come over that wall. And I just found that to be. Absolutely beautiful. You know what else it reminded me of? Because last hour I shared with you this editorial.

My friend brought it back to Lord of the Rings, as we like to do here. And he was talking about Aragorn and how Aragorn was fine with everyone going about their daily lives and getting involved in pettiness because that's a sign that he did his job well. One of the things that I have noticed more after 9-11 is all the Aragorns. Right? The people who work.

to make it to where you can just be petty some days. And you get lost in the day-to-day mundane. That guy is an Aragorn. Not other people. He might be a pool cleaner.

At the memorial. He's an Aragorn. For sure. Partners that bring you the program Alliance Defending Freedom. They've been in courtrooms across the country.

including the Supreme Court. state houses across the country. Fighting. to protect our rights. Half the time, people don't even know that they're doing it.

Not until a decision has been announced, like the amazing landmark free speech victory they won in front of the Supreme Court on behalf of a Christian counselor. Or maybe you've heard about Jack Phillips, the baker in Colorado, who for ten years The left targeted him to try to bankrupt him and ruin his life because he's a devout Christian Baker. An alliance defending freedom stepped in the gap to shield him. Same thing with Baronella Stutsman, a florist that I spoke to, who's uh up in Oregon. or a t-shirt shop owner in uh Kentucky.

I could go on, a bed and breakfast owner in Hawaii. Or protecting women's sports. Whether it's the Statehouse or whether it's the House of the Congressional House.

So, I have a thought. I want to switch it up because we've had a very, very heavy show. It's my birthday month, you know.

So my birthday month. I just call it my birthday month. I don't expect a party every day. But I do have to get a new phone. because my phone is an older model.

And My it's one of those where the batteries die and the the cameras. I use my stuff a lot. Like, I don't. I'm not like someone who just like messes around on their phone. I mean, I literally work on it.

I think I've noticed that I probably am like half and half. I'm getting to the point where it's half and half. Half the work on my iPad, or sorry, laptop, half work on my phone. Right? And I I'm looking at the new phones.

And I don't know. I think the new 18 is, I think the 17 was ugly. I thought it was just god-awful ugly. Like it, like it just ugly, like it fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. I am curious as to what people think about the little foldable thing.

All my Samsung friends, because I like gadgets, they're just like, oh my gosh.

So stupid. They are mad because they're like, that's Samsung glass, don't you know? This is Samsung screen. And I know, I know, I know. And Juan's demonstrated to us yesterday.

It's about this, he has an iPad mini, which I've never seen in my life, but he's got an iPad mini, and he's like, it's like roughly, it's like basically the size of his mini. I don't understand how you're supposed to hold it with one hand without a finger extender. Because It's Awkward. And it's also super expensive. And I'm I don't I don't want to spend that much money on that.

Phone. If they're gonna have, like, especially, you never want the first gen of anything, right? Especially if I'm sure there's all going to be bugs and stuff. And I just don't know, I don't like smears on my screen and. Yeah, there's no way you can put a case on it.

I don't even understand.

So I don't know. I'm curious. As to what people think about it. Like you can open it. I don't care about the crease and all that.

I just, it just seems awkward. And I was r excuse me, I was reading comparisons. From the people who I don't think are incentivized to talk popular, you know, to talk about it in a positive way. But apparently like I like I like having a better camera And I think that the regular phone has the better camera. Has the better optical zoom, has a better variable aperture, and all the, I know, all the nerdy stuff.

And battery pr predict. How does the battery work on that with all the screens on it? Right? Don't you? I think that's.

Did you have you have y'all read anything about that? Kane, tell the class. Have you read anything about that? Not really. Honestly.

Like you, I'm the same with iOS. Like, I wait until some, you know, people get all the bugs fixed, and then I decide whether or not I want it. Like, in a couple of years, if they stick with this design. Then maybe. Can I just bear with me and I'm gonna move on?

You know what the best phone on God's green earth was? The best phone that had the best OS that Apple totally ripped off? Do da da da the palm pre. Look what they took from us. The palm Pre-I Loved that phone.

That phone was like my best friend. It had also a physical keyboard, and you could slide it. And the OS was essentially the iOS now.

So good, the swiping, the multiple things, it was so ahead of the game. And the who was it? HP that put it out? Was it HP? I don't remember.

Because I had a pom pre when the iPhone first started coming out, and I did not get an iPhone for years. Years I did not get an iPhone. I mean, we started getting into double digits before I got before I got an iPhone. Um So They just, the company got, yeah, I think it was HP. They just got screwed over completely.

Yeah, not the Pom Pilot. Pom Pilot was like the Blackberry. This was the Pom Prix. Yeah, such a great phone. And I loved that phone.

Like, I wanted to take that phone to JCPenney and get a best friend portrait in front of a beautiful fall vignette. That's what I wanted to do. I love that phone so much. Such a great phone. But um yeah, they got rid of it.

I wish, like, if they, if Apple was like, here, nostalgia lovers, and it came back with that, that was like the phone to have. Because the iPhone came out. In 2000, like in 07, 08 is when the iPhone came out. And I remember because I was covering a debate. It was a debate at Washington University, and it was then Senator Obama.

And I was there covering it. And Uh in my twenties. And this I could tell, you could tell who's from New York and who isn't. Easily, like New York reporters. And there was a group of New York reporters and they all had the new iPhone.

And it was weird watching it because the way that it was just a weird thing. Yeah, the Pom Prix.

So the Pomprix, you open it up and you had a physical keyboard and then you closed it and it was still super thin and it fit in the palm of your hand, literally. Oh my gosh, it was the best phone that has ever been made. No other phone comes close. If they brought that phone, I mean, if you brought that phone back and put the Apple stuff on it, then you could have your music and all that stuff. Oh my gosh, it would be great, but they're never going to do that because they're stupid.

So I look at the duo and I'm like, I don't understand. I'm worried about the, I don't know, maybe it's because I'm a chick and I'm worried about it's gonna look dirty. And also the battery life. You've got a four per prillion screens on it. Per prillion, that's even more than querprillion, and a lot more than gazillion.

You have a million screens on this thing. How is that not gonna zap the battery life like that? Right? I don't know. I don't know, but the camera's apparently superior and I don't really need the giant I don't need to experience Apple's foldable hardware.

I just need something that, because I work with it. I just need something that I work with.

So I don't think I'm going to get the foldable. Long story long, I'm not going to get the foldable, and it's very hard to say foldable because I'm going to go foldable. I'm not going to do it. I don't think I will. Juan, are you?

Because you're a gadget guy. Are you yay or nay? Uh no because I The iPad mini and he doesn't need anything to fold. Then that's a redundant. Yeah, then it becomes redundant.

Mm. There you go. Interesting. All right, so. Uh a couple of other things to touch on today.

Because we're, I'm trying to lighten it up for you guys. We had the guy who just decided he was going to redefine. Um What a pimp is. Can I I'm gonna go back up.

Sorry, this is gonna be up on our first hour, guys. The New York. I have to touch on this. Did you guys see the plans that Manhattan has? They've been doing these twin tower with l they so they've used 2,977 light drums.

So there's one for every. Victim and they are rebuilding the Twin Towers using these light drones. Drones are crazy. I kind of want an army of drowns. Sidebar, sorry.

Because at night, people I didn't like, I would put meme messages above their house with the drones. Is that bad? Cain, business idea, drone service, not for deliveries, but just for that. Gone are the days when you would hire a plane to fly a banner, do it with a drone. Oh my gosh, did I just come up with a multi-million trademark multi-million dollar idea?

I think I did. Anyway, the 9-11 rebuilding the towers, that's actually pretty amazing. It's pretty amazing. Are people still torn? On the memorial.

Because remember, back when they were first talking about the 9-11 memorial, there was a lot of debate, even from victims' families, because they were like, we just don't want a hole in the ground. I personally liked the plans that were proposed. to build a series of buildings. at different heights. With One building may be taller than the others.

And there's like two buildings on one side, one building on the other side, and then maybe another building that's like back tucked behind here, and then a real tall building in the middle. I kind of like that idea, Kane. You know what I'm talking about? Y'all know what I like that idea. That was a good idea.

But I yeah, I feel like people were were Torn. About that. And I was just kind of wondering if that was still the same. I love the drone thing. I love, I mean, that's.

Beautiful. The drones. They call it the tribute in light.

Now, they've done it before because they used to have beams. that went up.

So it went from the two beams that will go up at night. to now They're doing the full-on drones. I like it when they organize, like when you're watching the little drones fly up and they organize, but that's pretty crazy. They used to do just the two beams at night, but now they did the whole drone thing. And they've done the Tribute and Light, they've done it a couple of different ways.

They've had one where it was, you know, a couple of giant beams, and then they've had where it was like a series of a bunch of beams together. And the drone one, I think the drone one looks pretty cool. Uh And I I liked that. That was pretty neat. the watching that come together.

Yeah, Juan's showing you the video right now. He's getting the video ready. Watching them come together, they were like coiling around like a helix, like a double helix. and then they form the building. The programming for that is interesting.

So he's showing you this is as they're flying up. To form. That was crazy. And then it shows them later. And it's um.

It's like a I how do the the color of the light Is so the beams of light, and there it is right there. Look how bright white that is. And look, they even got the antenna on the other one. The the antenna got me. Saw when I saw them form the antenna because I was like, what are they going to do?

Look at that. Look at that. If you're watching the simulcast, we're showing, for those not, we're showing the completed. drone display. And they are literally, they said the exact specs.

of the buildings. And it's like, imagine a 3D building that you like, you draw like a square, a 3D square on paper, but that's with the drones in its real life. And it is, I actually think that's beautiful. I love that. I wish we could have it every night, honestly.

I feel like that. I don't know how you would do it with the drones, but I feel like we should have something like that every night. I was one of the people that. wanted the memorial to look differently. I wanted it to be defiant.

I realize Maybe that I I We all process things differently. I am very fist in the air, like defiant. And some people want more quiet reflection. And I get that. And I think it's just how different people process things differently.

But Yeah, I always wanted something there, but I love the drone show. I think the drone show is just gorgeous. All right, so switching gears here, because I don't want to, and it's been a heavy show. It's been a very, very heavy show today.

So where to uh I'm trying to find a happy little happy little story here that we're gonna leave you with. Because we're rounded out at the end of the week, you know, because it is Friday. But it's the first brave, it's a Friday, Fall Friday.

So The um It's going to be September 12 tomorrow. It's officially the start. of what I like to call spooky season.

Okay. By the way, it is not a devil thing. Halloween actually got started as All Saints Day, and it's a very Christian origin story. I just like it when people come to your house because you can evangelize to them. And also, you can check and promote your sex.

I always would be like: if you were coming and your parent can present a concealed carry card, you get the king-size Snickers. Very interesting. But, um I'm just saying, it's spooky season. It's time to start thinking about your costumes this year, folks. I have my Halloween costume figured out.

I think it's amazing. I just wish all I'm going to leave you with is this. I just wish that I had the talent to do what the costume represents. That's all I'm going to say. The folks help bringing you the program.

It's our friends over at Patriot Mobile. The only Christian conservative cell phone service out there.

All right, so I got distracted by a meme.

So give me a second. I did. That's shiny. Dana gets distracted. All right, so Anthropic, we gotta talk about this.

One of their researchers quit over out-of-control AI fears. They say that we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans. It makes me feel so good. Feel so good and confident about life, Kane. Oh my gosh, now it's AI.

Um I they they said that they think there's like less than a temporary like it's What, within the next decade? that this could start. What if it's so? Here's the thing. Let me throw this out there.

I had, oh, you know what? I had an article. Where There was a discussion about AI. Here it is, New York Post. It says AI.

is already capable of organizing global disinformation campaigns all on its own. What if it's already doing it?

Okay, we're gonna come back to this because I swear I am gonna lighten it up. I promise you so bad I am, but all right, let's see. Of No, I am not reading this. You read this next headline. I am not doing it.

I'm not doing it to these good people today. Kane, do it. Do it, I triple dog dare you, the eel, the eel, we're good. Do you truly? Just an accident this Fisherman's Colonel was Wa was what, Kane?

Punctured. By what? By an eel. By accident, right? But how?

It Climbed in there. We'll say swam. And got violent. After it's snuck? Yeah.

Okay. I didn't even get to the guy who died after he drove into a pack of wild hogs. That's, I know, stick with us. As we move, the folks who won't make the program possible, it's our friends at Burn A Gun.

Now, I always tell you, what am I going to say? You guys know what I'm going to say. I have no problem using lethal force. I will absolutely mag dump at a threat and I will go to sleep at night like a kitten with a belly full of warm milk. Don't care.

But I also realize that you have municipal restrictions and private property restrictions and these things called gun-free zones. And sometimes you have to go into a gun-free zone for work or whatever. Or maybe you're a college kid, you're not yet 21, but you criminals don't care if you're not yet 21. If you're a threat, they're gonna, or if you're a look like you're a target, they're gonna make you a target. This is where the Burna comes in, specifically the Burna CL, Compact Launcher is what that stands for.

Disregard the other models. The Berna CL shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 60 feet away.

Now, some of you were like, that's great, but I have a taser or stun gun. That's adorable. You're two little shots. Oh, maybe your two little rounds and your little taser, your little stun gun. This has a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge.

70-ish to 22. And one person of color, and then everybody else. was white. Um A lot of the jurors had children. Uh-huh.

Okay. What? Can you imagine? Hmm. He stood against the lie.

And it's all these like women. Denzel, Washington. The Lone Juror. I think I just can't myself chill. I just I just got I just came up with another Oscar I came up with an Oscar winning role for Denzel.

Who's one of who's I think might be my favorite actor, Denzel. Can you imagine him in that? Can you imagine the monologues? It'd be like 12 angry men, but. Just one, oh, or instead of Denzel Washington, the lone juror, it could be one angry man starring Denzel Washington.

Ah, yeah. That makes me feel better knowing this could maybe never be a possibility, but maybe hopefully will. All right. Kane today's stupidity.

Well, here's one angry woman. Kamala Harris, let's do cut 25 here because. I don't know, I chuckled when I heard this. Um I don't know how to live and not serve. I honestly don't.
