SPEAKER 04 :
Hello, hello, hello, and happy Monday, everyone. It is 11-11 today, Veterans Day. It is Veterans Day, and I just wanted to take a second just to shout out to all you veterans out there. Thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart, truly, for your sacrifice that you've made, sacrificing time away from your families and some obviously paying the ultimate sacrifice. So thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do and all that you did. And that love will continue on for every Veterans Day from here on out. But 11-11, I wanted to ask you, anybody, Luke, I'll ask you this. Do you ever look at a clock and see 1111 or 111 like often?
SPEAKER 01 :
It's funny you mention that. I noticed it was 1111 on the date today, and the time happened to be 1111 as I noticed the date.
SPEAKER 04 :
Is that right? Well, there are people out there who say that there's a reason for that, and I don't really know what that is. I haven't done enough research on it, but there's actually groups out there that are dedicated to this whole 1111 thing. And if you're one of those people who look at a clock – And it just happens to be 1111 or 111. It means something. So, yeah, look into that. I think it's kind of interesting. So I don't know. My name is Karen Murray, and I am the lead instructor at Franktown Firearms. I have a frog in my throat. I would love for you to stop by and see what's new around the shop and around the range. We have some really, really exciting stuff headed our way. So you need to come around, take a look, talk to some people that know what's going on and see just what Franktown has to offer. It is not one of those ranges that you walk in and everybody is stuffy or they're tactical, they think they're better than you, they think they shoot better than you, whatever. It's not that atmosphere at all. This is one of those friendly, everybody's kind of on the same level playing field, and if you don't know Anything about firearms, they're going to direct you to a class and just kind of take you under their wing and help you. And it's just a warm, inviting atmosphere. So I think that you guys would really, really love it. If you haven't been there, come and check it out. We're located just east of the intersection of Highway 83 and Highway 86 in Franktown. We are open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6. You can check out the website at franktownfirearms.com. Or you can give them a call at 720-770-7777 and just inquire about stuff. Ask about guns and the process or this new tax thing, whatever. Whatever the question is, just call. Somebody will be more than happy to take your questions. If you've decided it's time to get your concealed carry permit, which I hope everybody has decided that it's time for that, I have a Pistol 1 class coming up this Saturday. I had to cancel last Saturday's class because you all know that the weather was a mess. But don't worry. There is more to come. And you better make that decision soon because the law and the process to obtain a concealed carry permit is going to change drastically on July 1st of 2025. So get that done now. If private training is more your style and you don't feel like sitting in a classroom full of you know, a dozen other people, you can contact me directly and we can schedule something. My email address for the shop is karen.murray at franktownfirearms.com. My last name is spelled M-U-R-R-A-Y. And you can shoot me an email and we can schedule a date that works for you. I'd be happy to do that for you. Prices are very modest. And I always like to compare the prices of my personal private training to ski lessons Have you guys ever looked into private ski lessons before? Okay. Private ski lessons for a half day of lessons is about $600, $700, somewhere around there. And my private training for firearms is if you're one individual, it's $60 an hour with a one-hour minimum. So I'd say that it's a bargain. Okay. But that's just me. If you want to talk about anything I'm talking about today, you can give us a call here at the studio at 303-477-5600. I'd love to chat with you. So here we are. We're almost a week out from the election where Donald J. Trump won the 2024 general election in what can only be described as a landslide. The Harris campaign, the Dominion voting machines, the lunatic liberal leftists just couldn't cheat hard enough to pull off a fake win. So I'd like to take a moment to, I don't know, share with you some of the meltdowns that are occurring right now by disenfranchised, disappointed, angry, frantic Harris supporters who truly believe that They've lost their rights. If they're a woman or their sister or their mother has lost their rights, if they're male, dude for Harris, whatever, and that Trump is Satan incarnate. Starting with the NFL fining Nick Bosa of the San Francisco 49ers $11,255 for wearing a MAGA hat. How stupid is that? Free speech? Hello? And then we have people being interviewed on the street trying to articulate their feelings about Harris's loss. And it's so funny because you look at some of these and these people are trying so hard to be sensible and they're trying to articulate their feelings about Harris's loss without looking like too much of a psycho. But the problem is that the attempted calm is This calm that they express on camera just quietly turns into threats of violence. Like it's that scary guy that's like, you know, you do what you want, but I'm going to find you kind of thing. Like just that calm, frightening voice that people can have. And that's kind of what it's like. So there's those kind of people. And then we have compilation after compilation of distraught people. Like, I'm talking distraught Kamala supporters losing their ever-loving minds on TikTok. I would love to bring you a nice audio clip of these compilations, but I'm telling you, there's so much cussing going on in these videos and so many F-bombs being dropped that the FCC would probably shut the station down if we played them all for you because, you know, this is family-friendly here. However... I did manage to find a couple that we can air. So I need to tell you what's going on here. So in this clip, we have a woman. She kind of resembles Rachel Maddow. She's got that same kind of hairdo. But what's really irritating, and you might be able to hear this from the audio, that she's kind of using her tongue behind her lips to clean her teeth as she's talking. So evidently, she just had a snack or something. I don't know. But I don't know. She's giving her profound thoughts on ways to protest this election by wearing a mask. Check this out.
SPEAKER 05 :
This government easiest and most effective form of protest you have right now that you can start immediately. Put a mask back on. Stop letting them observe your face and have the side benefit of better health. and protecting the rest of us in the world. Put a mask back on. This government.
SPEAKER 04 :
So she's saying the side effect of better health. So since when did we determine that wearing a mask makes better? So she's still living in the COVID era. where she thinks that wearing a mask is going to protect mom and grandma and whatever. So she's living in this delusion, this era of masks. You know what I'm talking about. So that's one way that she thinks that people should protest this election is to put your mask back on and protect your health at the same time, which to me is just freaking hysterical. So, and here's another doozy for you, but I have to set the stage, okay? Since you guys are only getting the audio, what we have here is an overweight white dude sitting in his car. He's wearing a shirt that says, I love day drinking. He has Kamala Harris written all over his face in black marker. So I'm not sure if he did that in anger. It looks very sloppy. I don't know if he did it in anger as a result of the election or what he did, but he's grabbing his hair like the fist in the hair, grabbing it, and he's riding back and forth in his car in emotional agony, and he's occasionally spitting as he screams into the camera. But this is the mentality of the people who voted for Harris, most of them. Not all of them, but I'd say most of them. And it's pretty disturbing if you ask me. And just to warn you, if you're listening to this at work or if you have your kids in the car or whatever, there's no swearing, but you might want to turn your volume down just a bit so your coworkers don't think you're crazy. Check this out. Ah!
SPEAKER 1 :
Ah! Ah!
SPEAKER 08 :
He cheated! He cheated! He cheated! He cheated! There was fraud!
SPEAKER 04 :
So, yeah, just, I don't know. What do you do with that kind of What do you say? What do you do? There's just no talking to some of these people. So if you want to watch more of this kind of stuff, you can just go to TikTok and search Harris supporters, and you'll see what I'm talking about. Most of the videos that I'm actually seeing are like Stitch videos that are making fun of this behavior. Because, I don't know, I'm normally not one that's going to take pleasure in the suffering of other people. But I really don't care unless the suffering is legitimate. And what these people are suffering from is their own gullibility, their own decision-making and their lack of good judgment by buying every single bit of the narrative that was spoon fed to them. And then not only do they, they take this narrative and, and run with it, but they twist it. They twist it into other things and lies and more stuff. It's just insane to me. A narrative full of lies about Trump, that he's going to sign a nationwide abortion ban, which he's not, and he never said that he was going to, so I don't even know where they got that information. Lies like Trump is going to take away women's rights. Right. Meanwhile, Trump appoints a woman, Susie Wiles, as his White House chief of staff, not to mention all the women that Trump has in his inner circle working for his campaign. I don't think Trump got the memo on how to be a misogynist. Johnny, what do you got for me, buddy?
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, this is really practical. Remember she had that commercial about women lying to their husband about who they voted for?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay. Well, Taylor Swift's boyfriend, I guess they were having dinner over at his family's house, and the conversation came up that most of them, including him, voted for Trump, so she had to leave the table.
SPEAKER 04 :
Wow. So you're saying that Travis Kelsey voted for Trump?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes. That's what it sounds like. And members of his family, too. And I guess maybe, I don't know how she would feel like they're all on board with me, with her. Maybe she thinks that the world circles around her. Of course. So it was just funny that she had to leave the deal and call someone to get counseling or whatever.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, my goodness. That's, you know, the fact that you say that, that's really, really amazing to me that Travis Kelsey voted for Trump or, you know, maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but his family, whatever, because him and his association with Pfizer, you know, that's just, I don't know, that's kind of icky to me. But, yeah, that's crazy. And to me, it's hilarious. I mean, there's one word to describe that family setting, and that's awkward.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, yeah. But she said the lie, so, you know, they did.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, my God. I love it. I love that.
SPEAKER 07 :
That's all I got.
SPEAKER 04 :
All right. Thank you so much, Johnny. I appreciate it. So, yeah, we have, you know, I'm going to ask right now, and maybe Dave can help me clue in on this, if there's anyone out there that can tell me what rights that these women are having taken away. Okay? So, Dave, do you have an answer to that for me?
SPEAKER 02 :
Actually, it's absolutely zero. And it's another unfortunate thing. I've had this discussion with friends of mine. You know, this is the evidence of why we need to get back to teaching civics and government in school because there's a vast majority of Americans who do not understand how their government operates and where the powers lie with the separation of powers. The president cannot do anything unilaterally. The president doesn't pass legislation. The president only enforces the law once it's been passed. I mean, he can push for it, but he can't unilaterally on his own decide what is or isn't going to be done. Absolutely not. As far as national security, you know, an immediate threat, then he would have that kind of authoritarianism. But that would be acting against a foreign power, let's say, or a natural disaster or so forth. But not to just say willy-nilly, well, everybody now needs to start wearing red MAGA hats. No, that's not going to happen.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yep, yep, yep, exactly. And to your point. Civics has been – I remember my civics class in high school. I remember having to memorize the preamble to the Declaration of Independence. I remember having to understand the Bill of Rights and the whole, like you said, the power and how it's divided and how there's checks and balances and the whole thing. I had to learn all that stuff, but I'm old. Okay, I'm almost 60. So back then, yeah, they used to teach that stuff, but they don't anymore, and it shows, man. It's showing.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, you know, that makes three of us, and that's one of the things that the founders specifically set out in the Constitution. If you read the Federalist Papers and the writings of Thomas Jefferson and Franklin and so forth, they wanted an educated people because only a government – of the people, by the people, can that function if those people are engaged and know what's going on, you know? That's the only way this is ever going to work, is we need to have those people who understand exactly how the government operates. You just can't leave it up to someone else. And unfortunately, for the past several decades, too many Americans have abdicated that authority that they have over their government authority. to these nameless bureaucrats in the hopes that, well, they should be doing the right thing. Well, no, I'm here to tell you politicians will never do the right thing. They'll do what's in their best interest, not in yours.
SPEAKER 04 :
Exactly, exactly.
SPEAKER 02 :
I had a quick comment on your Nick Bosa thing. You know, what gets me about the NFL is how conveniently they were threatening, but they didn't do anything until after the elections. But then I was hoping that they wouldn't do anything. Just let it die on the vine and be done with it. Or walk up to them and say, you know what, please try not to do something like that. But yet, when Colin Kaepernick and all those other knuckleheads were kneeling at the national anthem, what did they do then? No, they turned around and wholeheartedly supported it, so much so that they were writing on the end zones all these slogans and on the helmets of players and commercials and this and that. Well, wait a minute. Are you apolitical? Are you taking a side? Or aren't you?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, it's obvious that they've picked a side. Yeah.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, that's terrible. And then, of course, to go on the TikTok stitches, I've been sitting around the last couple days enjoying my Cheetos and watching those videos because it's just – it's glorious to watch. But what really gets me and it strikes me every time is, like you pointed out, is how quickly their language and their body language and their – attitude becomes violent now this coming from the party of joy this coming from the party of peace this coming from the party that was accusing Trump and his supporters of being Nazis and fascists and misogynists and people who are going to be you know destroying everyone's rights and crushing them underfoot as if we were all a bunch of brown shirts you know they're the ones who are the first ones to engage in violent rhetoric and violent acts you know Yeah. Go ahead. I'm sorry.
SPEAKER 04 :
It's just when you say that they're the first ones to engage in violence and violent acts and rioting and all that kind of stuff, but they'll sit there and they'll look you in the face and tell you that you're racist, you're this, you're that. And to them, their justification is that they're combating against you know, racism and fascism and, you know, whatever. And so there's no way for us to win in that argument. You know, it's crazy. They've pigeonholed everybody.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. Well, you can't reason with lunatics and you're never going to, or you should never reason with children. Right. You know, you just got to point out the fact that, Hey, I'm the adult here and this is why we're doing this. Plain and simple. I mean, if you watch Charlie Kirk's videos, I mean, he just destroys these kids and these adults on campuses, and he engages them in a very calm, educated way, and he just destroys their arguments every time because they come forward with emotion, which quickly turns to anger, which quickly turns to, you know, on the edge of violence, and he's still there just very calm, waiting, to hear what their point is. He's hoping that someone out there on the left can come with a cogent argument as to why Kamala Harris was the best candidate or why the Democrats are the best party for moving this country forward, and they can't. They have nothing other than they're not Trump. Well, that doesn't work.
SPEAKER 04 :
No, exactly. It's like, tell me why you're voting for Harris without mentioning Trump, and they can't do it. No. Yeah. Absolutely. I appreciate your call. I think you're a first-time caller to me, so hello, and thank you for calling. I appreciate it.
SPEAKER 02 :
I enjoy your program. I'm glad you guys are finally live.
SPEAKER 04 :
Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that. So, yeah, abortion is not a right, and this is one of the things that, you know, this is the hill that these people will die on, one of them. Show me in the Bill of Rights where it says a woman has the right to terminate a pregnancy at any time for any reason. I'll wait because there is no such right, okay? The thought is embarrassing to me. You know, these women think their rights are being taken away. Why don't these women go and, I don't know, scream to a woman that's living in Syria or Yemen who has to cover her hair and her face and her hands and her ankles every single day before she walks out of the house, a woman who isn't allowed to leave her home without a male family member, a woman who isn't allowed to vote or hold a job or drive a car or attend more than three years of basic fundamental education. They can go and scream about the loss of rights to a woman in Afghanistan, maybe, who is likely – very likely a repeat victim of violence from her partner because, you know, it's okay to beat the crap out of one of your many wives if you feel like she deserves it. Go scream to a woman who was forced to marry a man she never met at the age of 10. and then have her female parts mutilated so she can never feel an ounce of pleasure while she's being abused by said husband, who incidentally happens to have multiple other women that he can call on and abuse at his discretion. And it's all okay because the husband is the slave master. And if the woman steps out of line, she can be the victim of an honor killing, which is still very much in practice. Honor killings are supposed to be illegal even in these countries, but they're practiced anyway. So we have these women screeching on social media into their $1,500 iPhones from their $30,000 cars on their college campuses that cost $35,000 a year with their professionally dyed blue hair flowing in the wind and showing off their many tattoos and their arms and hands, crying, sobbing, screaming, starting this ridiculous 4B movement of shaving their heads. Go talk to a Trump-supporting woman who is undergoing chemo right now and has lost her hair as a result. Maybe you can give that woman your hair since you don't want it anymore because you don't want to be found attractive to men anymore, men that support Trump anyway. You don't want to be held down by the patriarchy. By all means, divorce your Trump-supporting husband. I'm not really sure how he put up with your butt for this long anyway. It's unbelievable to me. You can all go pound sand. Get bent. That's my opinion. All you people, you're psycho. You have no idea what's going on. You don't know how the world works. And you guys know that I'm being as polite as I possibly can. The words I have for these women, most of which don't even deserve the title, are much, much stronger and not for family-oriented radio. So like I said, it's just embarrassing. It's embarrassing. The willful ignorance that led them to this disturbing place in their heads and in their lives is astounding to me. I've always said that if you were to drop the average American liberal woman in one of these actual oppressive countries, they would be screaming to return to America. They would. You know that. If you were able to take an inner city, like a gangster, criminal thug, and just plop him into a wheat farm in Kansas somewhere and make him go to work, He wouldn't even know what to do with himself. It's all a matter of perspective. And these people don't have any. They don't even factor what I just talked about before into their thinking. All the talk about, you know, the women in Afghanistan and Yemen and Syria and Pakistan and the Congo and all these places where women are lesser class. They're not allowed to do anything. If you don't believe me, go look it up. Go look up the 10 worst countries to be a woman. And then these people can come at me and tell me why their rights are being taken away and why they're so oppressed. It's just sickening. Ignorance and apathy are how they got to this seemingly brain dead outlook they have on this country and their place in it. But that's what the legacy media and their universities and their equally psychotic friends and family tell them. So this is the hill they die on. The groupthink is off the rails in the ultra-progressive wing of the left. It's almost like We meaning critically thinking, logical conservatives who just want to live our lives. And they meaning women who believe they'll have no rights under a Trump presidency are living in like alternate universes. I believe that we refer to them as bubbles, right? I live in a bubble where I believe government is too big, too toxic, too powerful. I just want to live. and work and pray, and I want to be able to afford groceries and gas, and I want our country to stay out of foreign wars, and I want to pay lower taxes, and I want to have the government stay the hell out of my life. They live in a bubble where girls can be boys and boys can be girls and men can get pregnant and play on women's sports teams so they can brutalize their female opponents. Their bubbles believe that rich people don't pay any taxes, that people aren't illegal, that kids don't have to respect their parents or their teachers. Christianity is science fiction. Satan rules, and abortion is paramount. Abortion is everything. And you know what? I like my bubble much better. And when we get back from break, I'm going to play this piece for you that you are going to love. We'll be right back.

SPEAKER 04 :
And we are back. Thank you for sticking with me through that short advertisement there. Talking about the range at Franktown Firearms, and might I add that it is wonderful. It's a wonderful place to go shoot. But I'm talking about all these meltdowns that the left is having, and I'd like to talk about a little bit of a mini meltdown that Steve Bannon had. This is awesome. So he melted down on the right side of things. This clip was aired on Real America's Voice on election night. You have to listen to this.
SPEAKER 03 :
Check the election. You've mocked and ridiculed and put people in prison and broken people's lives because you said this thing was stolen. This entire phony thing is getting swept out. Biden's getting swept out. Kamala Harris is getting swept out. MSNBC is getting swept out. The Justice Department is getting swept out. The FBI is getting swept out. You people suck. OK, and now you're going to pay the price for trying to destroy this country. And I'm going to tell you, we're going to get to the bottom of where are the 600,000 votes. You manufactured them to steal this election from President Trump in 2020. And think where this country would be if we hadn't gone through the last four years of your madness. OK, you don't deserve any respect. You don't deserve any empathy and you don't deserve any pity. And if anybody gives it to you, it's Donald J. Trump, because he's got a big heart and he's a good man, a good man that you're still going to try to put in prison on the 26th of this month. This is how much you people suck. OK, you've just tried to destroy his business thing. And he came back. He came back in the greatest show of political courage, I think, in world history, like Cincinnati is coming back from the plow. He's the American Cincinnati's. And what he has done is a profile in courage. We've had his back. But I got to tell you. He may be empathetic. He may have a kind heart. He may be a good man, but we're not, okay? And you deserve, as Natalie Winters says, not retribution, justice. But you deserve what we call rough Roman justice, and we're prepared to give it to you.
SPEAKER 04 :
I love that. I love that. And, you know, it's time. I think there was a meme a long time ago that talked about, you know, we went to war for a 3% tax on an English breakfast beverage or something. You know, what has happened to us now? And people are PO'd. They are. But this election, I believe, was really too big to rig. It wasn't for lack of trying on the part of the Democrats. Our own beloved Jenna Griswold had a hand in compromising Colorado's election, but that's okay for the people here, I guess. I don't know. I like to think that Colorado has way more conservatives than what we're led to believe. But we have Tina Peters rotting in prison for nine years, and Jenna's still there doing her job. And what is that? What is her job, actually? like screwing the people of Colorado so that we never see another nine electoral votes go to a Republican, maybe. However, there was an issue on the ballot that would give all Colorado electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote if enough states came on board with that. And I guess many Democrats might be rethinking that whole issue after Trump also won the popular vote. This kind of ballot measure has been put out before, and it keeps failing, so that's good. I think because many people don't want to see our Constitution being overlooked at best and shredded and used as toilet paper at worst. Our Constitution has been under siege for decades. We've seen it, but we haven't done anything about it. As a whole, as a population, we are complacent and weak-minded when it comes to our government and how they govern. And I've said it before. I'll say it again. You guys need to go read the Declaration of Independence. Go read it again and again and again. We have put far too much faith in our elected officials, never holding their feet to the fire in any meaningful kind of way. Call your representatives and tell them to vote no on blah, blah, blah, blah. And do you know what they do when they get those calls or texts or emails or voicemails or whatever? They delete them, and they do what they want or what the lobbyists want or whatever. They never do what you want unless you're on their side, of course. That's it. And as a result, they have turned our constitutional representative republic into a democracy by using the word so much that it becomes reality in the eyes of those people who don't have any discernment. We just roll with the punches. We gloss over the voter fraud. We pay the higher taxes. We deal with the inflation and the money printing. We send our kids to fight in the endless wars, and we complain about our tax dollars being sent overseas or handed to people who are here illegally in gross amounts. And we say, we'll get them next time. you know, next election rolls around, we're going to beat them. Things are going to change when my candidate gets elected, as if any of our elections have been legitimate up till now. It is my belief that if voting mattered, we wouldn't be allowed to do it. In the words of Mark Twain, or whoever is credited with that statement, I can't remember. I think it's Mark Twain. But the powers that be understand how we think, or more accurately put, how we don't think. And they take full advantage of our ignorance. Trump won, and I'm putting won in heavy air quotes here, and I'm happy about that. I am. You guys know I'm a Trump supporter. But there's a lot of time between now and January 20th. And the certification process is, I believe, is going to be a nightmare, to say the least. And something that kind of has me a little bit spooked is that the Democrats have been very quiet. I know there are protests going on, and we've got this 4B crap, and AOC is out there fanning the flames of riots, and she's trying to get everything kicked off. But these women are shaving their heads and swearing off sex and wearing masks so they can identify each other. To me, that's kind of cult behavior, is it not? That's cultish. Shave your head. It reminds me of Manson, the Manson girl. That's kind of what this whole thing reminds me of with the shaved heads and the. Yeah, but they're divorcing their husbands and, you know, breaking up with their Trump supporting male partners and whatever. These people have lost their minds. Truly, they've lost their minds. And so these are the people that are outside of the D.C. Beltway, the ones that have lost their minds, that are all over TikTok and, you know, voicing their displeasure in so many terms with this election. And, you know, a side note, if they really think that swearing off sex is a way to get things accomplished, then maybe they should have been living that way already. And then abortion wouldn't be such an issue for them. Am I right? And let's talk about all of these celebrities who vowed to leave the country if Trump got elected. That's so funny to me. I wonder if they've packed their bags. I know that Michael Rappaport, is that his name? I think he sold his $11 million mansion and he's out of here. You know, buh-bye. Buh-bye. There are a lot of people in this country who would help them you know, get packed up and just put them on a slow barge to nowhere. I don't know. But bye-bye. But by and large, the Democrats currently holding office and the pundits are being a little too cooperative. The people on the media are being a little too cooperative about this stuff. And that makes me nervous. And it's just my opinion that this transition is not going to be smooth. They're up to something. They're planning something. I don't know. I don't know what it is. But just like, you know, we kind of lived through this already, right? With January 6th, I think that when it comes to January 6th this time, when Kamala has to certify her own butt whooping, I don't know. Things could get dicey and crazy. And we all know that they've tried on multiple occasions to take Trump out. So... I don't know. But the plans and the vision coming from Trump's transition team are great. He's got things like national reciprocity for concealed carry permits. I think that is fantastic. And mass deportations on day one, I think we all would just, especially in Colorado. I mean, the liberals who say, oh, their people aren't illegal, you know, but they're funny. They're not taking any of these families seriously. the families, quote-unquote, into their own homes to take care of them, right? No, we're paying for it in other ways. And they want to get rid of the toxins in the food, you know, from RFK Jr., who's a guy that's really concerned with health and is going to have a big role in the health departments and HHS, and maybe cutting dozens of vaccines from the childhood schedule. I think that's fantastic, right? Maybe we could do something about all this ridiculous DEI nonsense that is making the workplace more toxic and less productive. That'd be great. I must say it would be fantastic if we never again had to look at a man in a skirt as he tells us how intolerant and hateful we all are. We're seeing multiple men in skirts with with military brass stuff on their lapels, and it's just nauseating to me. And if you guys have listened to the show before, you know how I feel about all of that. I just can't with these people. But I can tell you with most certainty that there are people out there who wish they didn't have to play nice with a coworker or somebody who never comes to work. And when they do, they're not very good at their job. they're kind of, they're taking advantage of the system because they know that they're protected. Their job is safe because they are a DEI hire, and maybe they don't know that they're a DEI hire, but they're protected. They're a protected class. So meanwhile, you have people who bust their butts every day, day in and day out for years and sometimes decades, at the same company and they have to tiptoe around these subpar DEI employees so they don't get offended. I know people that have talked about this stuff and it's toxic. It's terrible. And Lord knows the company can't fire them because that would open them up to, you know, litigation and a big fat lawsuit. So everyone is scared of these people. If you, okay. Now, I'm sounding like everybody who's black or gay or trans or whatever is bad at their job, and that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that there are multitudes of people out there who are gay who are really, really, really good at their jobs, and they deserve the positions based on merit. Merit, that is the key word right there. There are many people that are black that are fantastic at their jobs. They're productive. They show up to work. They do a great job, okay? It's the ones who fall back on the DEI situation so they can be slackers at their job. Eric, what do you got for me?
SPEAKER 06 :
Congratulations, Mama Grodd, to you and to all of us that voted for the great President Donald Trump. My God. Absolutely. It is just fascinating. Yes. And Greg Lopez for governor when he comes back from Congress. And Marnie Washington from FEMA, that black idiot woman that bypassed everybody in Hurricane Milton with President Trump's signs on their yard. And I think she should do community service to all that neighborhood area.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, I'm actually going to be talking about that in just a second. You're always reading my mind, Eric.
SPEAKER 06 :
That's great, because I want to be one of them great mind readers or a great mind like yours. Two other things, I'll let you go, you great American. I'm so happy I could bust. Yellowstone better get better than Sunday. And I'm going to talk about that too, Eric. You are killing me here. And you mentioned Michael Rappaport. You remember about six months ago, he came around. He says Trump is on the table. Yep, he did. He did.
SPEAKER 04 :
I remember that. Yep.
SPEAKER 06 :
It's glorious to hear you in a wonderful mood. It's fun to win. It's really fun to win, especially in the right way, as Donald Trump did for us all.
SPEAKER 04 :
God bless you. Absolutely. God bless you, Eric. Thank you so much. Bye-bye. So, yeah, all the stuff with DEI, there's a lot of stuff that, you know, Trump is talking about dismantling the three-letter agencies and rebuilding them. But you know what? I want to know how many of these three-letter agencies really need to be rebuilt. Government's job is to provide for the common defense and to promote general welfare. All right? That's it. That's the role. That's the job. Not to nitpick stupid laws and surveil and censor all of us and tax us into oblivion, which is exactly what they've done for decades. And Trump did not drain the swamp in his first term because I think he was too busy playing defense to, I don't know, to play any kind of impactful offense. But the swamp remains. and is getting nastier and more full of scum by the day. And as Eric was mentioning, the FEMA executive who was fired for telling FEMA workers to withhold aid to people with Trump signs in their yards, I will quote this article from CBS News. FEMA employee fired for telling workers to ignore homes of Trump supporters during hurricane relief efforts. A FEMA agency worker has been fired after she directed workers helping hurricane survivors not to go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump. An agency's leader said in a statement Saturday, quote, this is a clear violation of FEMA's core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation. OK, she says this was reprehensible. The agency did not identify the employee, which we now know who she is, nor did it say where it happened, but Florida Governor Ron DeSantis called it a targeted discrimination of Florida residents who support Trump, and he said it happened in Florida. DeSantis said he directed the Florida Division of Emergency Management to begin an investigation into the matter. Quote, the blatant weaponization of government bipartisan activists in the federal bureaucracy is yet another reason why the Biden-Harris administration is in its final days. New leadership is on the way. I'm optimistic that these partisan bureaucrats will be fired, he said. There were no details in FEMA's statement or DeSantis' comments about the timeframe or community where the incidents occurred. FEMA workers have been in the state helping residents recover from Hurricane Milton, which devastated many Florida communities last month. Criswell said she is determined to hold employees accountable. I will continue to do everything I can to make sure this never happens again. But you know what? This kind of thing will happen again and again and again and again if the deep state swamp isn't flushed out. And by flushed out, I mean gone. Gone. Every scrap of political algae needs to be disinfected and washed out, removed. If Trump means what he says, and he's not in prison by the likes of Letitia James, or if he's dead or whatever, because people are freaking crazy, it could happen. It's possible. So with all that said, I will hold on to the belief until Trump places his hand on that Bible that we are not out of the woods, you guys. Not by a long shot. We need to stay vigilant. We need to keep our heads on a swivel. We need to take in all the information that we can possibly take in, not from mainstream media, including Fox, because these globalists, Democrats and Republicans, are not going to go. They're not going to admit defeat and leave quietly. It's not going to happen. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think that I am. They're like caged animals right now. I'm still hoping there's some glimmer of truth to the whole Q thing, okay? If you guys know anything about Q, you know what I'm talking about, and that these cretins who are wiping their behinds with what's left of the Constitution are scared to death of what's coming their way. But again, that means they're going to do anything and everything to remove Trump from the equation and remove the threat, right? So I guess we will see what happens. There's a long time between now and Inauguration Day, so we'll see. So as Eric was talking about a minute ago, Yellowstone, okay? Yellowstone. If you watch the show, you know that the second half of Season 5 premiered last night. And I have to say, I must have been fed some beans. bad intel along the way, as my husband says. You got some bad intel. Because over the summer, Kevin Costner was on his Instagram saying that he would be back for the remainder of the season. So if you DVR'd this episode last night and you haven't watched it yet, you need to just turn this channel off. Sorry, KLZ, but if you don't like spoilers, if you like spoilers, then stick around and listen to me. a lot of fans are outraged and many of them are saying that they knew that John Dutton, that Kevin Costner wasn't coming back. So this is how Taylor Sheridan wrote him out of the script. And I have a little bit of a, of a problem here and I'll tell you about it. Okay. In the final episode of the first half of season five. So this is so confusing to talk about because it's, it's still the same season, but it's a year and a half, two years later, but, In the final episode, Jamie and his evil girlfriend, Sarah, are discussing hiring professionals to get rid of Beth. Okay. It is inferred in that conversation that they're planning to off Beth, but in a little bit of a nuanced kind of thing where Sarah says, if you're going to go after her, maybe, you know, And then Jamie says, I was thinking that too. Okay. So it is inferred at that point that yes, both John and Beth were both potential targets. Okay. So the cause of John's death, you first crack her out of the box. John Dutton's dead, right? You go in and Beth is freaking out and she's running to the governor's mansion and there's crime tape everywhere. And John Dutton's dead. And a lot of fans are pretty, PO'd about that, and many of them are saying that, you know, they knew he was coming back, but this is how Taylor Sheridan had to write him out, whatever. So the cause of John's death is being called a suicide, and of course that raises its own stuff, but per the suggestion made by the head professional that Sarah met with, that it's suicide's best for this whole situation. And there are some things that lead the watcher to believe that John isn't really dead. And so this coincides with Kevin Costner in communication and talks with Taylor Sheridan with his return or not, or maybe he'll come back for the end of the season or whatever. But as they were filming this first episode, episode nine of season five, He wasn't part of filming of Yellowstone. So I could sit here and talk about the entire show and the entire first show as it relates to the last show. My husband picked out a couple of things like Taylor Sheridan. is very arrogant i'm just going to put that out there i think he's very arrogant he's arrogant in the way he conducts himself he's got too many irons in the fire he's too involved with too many projects and yet he you know he puts himself in front of the camera and he's arrogant there he's just arrogant and i'm not a fan i'm not a fan of of him in the way he's kind of conducting himself And if any of you guys watch Yellowstone, you probably know he plays Travis. If you don't know enough about the show, he actually plays a character named Travis who's a horse trainer, and he's ten kinds of full of himself. So my husband was saying that he overlooked the appearance of people. So, yes, people age. We know that. Yes, people get their hair cut and they grow their hair and whatever, but that's over time. And this first episode is supposed to be very shortly after the last episode of the, you know, the half of the season had aired. And Walker, his hair is all long and bushy. And Casey has this haircut. And Linnell has this haircut. She's the senator, former governor of Montana, whatever. So everybody looks so different. Beth doesn't. Rip doesn't. But everybody else kind of has a different look about them, which is just an oversight and just sloppy, in my opinion. So I don't know. You got to be a Yellowstone fan, I guess, to kind of clue into what I'm talking about. But I was just talking last week about how we put too much emphasis on Hollywood. And I know what you're saying. Like, listen to her. She was talking about who cares, who cares, who cares. But this is really the only show that I watch. OK, I watch it religiously. I love it. I love Yellowstone and I have loved it since the moment that it hit the airwaves. I love it. And the trailer for next week's episode was very action packed. And I think the remainder of the season will be really good. But I have to say that I was kind of disappointed in the first episode of the remainder of the season. They've even made it difficult to talk about the seasons because this premiere was still season five. They did eight episodes of season five, and then they stopped because of these contract negotiations and this timing with Kevin Costner and his whatever that other project, the movie that he did that was terrible. with that coming out and stuff, and Taylor Sheridan and Kevin Costner kind of butted heads, and, you know, it was ugly and whatever, so they halted, and it was during the Hollywood writer's strike, too, so this whole, it was just a bad soup of things that happened, but the show that premiered last night was the ninth episode in season five, not a new season. So it's all very confusing to discuss, but I'm in a Yellowstone fan group, and it is ablaze right now with people who either loved it or they hated it. So I don't know. You can email me and let me know what you thought about it. I don't know, karen.murray at franktownfirearms.com, and let me know what you think. All I know is we waited a heck of a long time, and man, kind of disappointing, kind of disappointing. So that's going to do it for me today, you guys.
