Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 08 :
So this is video of this chick working out and she’s mad that this other woman is in her shot. And by in her shot, I mean the other woman, it’s a public gym. It’s a 24 hour fitness. And the other woman’s at a different, she’s by the weights and she’s like over at a different, I mean, it’s a gym. It’s an open gym. Yeah. With her back to her. She’s not trying to get into the camera, but this old broad gets all ticked off because I guess she’s trying to, I don’t know what she thinks she’s doing. And then she gets mad. This old broad needs to like, first off, you’re not working out if you’re noticing other people around you. Right. If you’re noticing that this chick’s there, you’re not working out hard enough. You know, good heavens. I can’t stand people like this, dudes or chicks. I cannot stand it. Look, if you want to do this bougie stuff and you don’t want to have to share the space with other people who pay the same damn membership fee that you pay, then go to a private gym or keep your old face at home. No, I’m not being nice about this because I hate broads like this. I can’t stand this. They make the gym horrible for everyone. Have you seen this stuff before? I’ve been at a gym before at a 24 hour fitness. That was the gym we used to go to. And I’ve literally watched these gym bunnies who can’t lift anything more than 10 pounds or dudes who only get a pump, but they have like no real strength. And they mark out this like they like take up this whole part of the gym and everyone’s got to stand around. They’ve got stuff going on and wait for these people to film themselves for their 800 followers on social media. It’s so annoying. If you’re going to do that and you don’t want people in your shot, then go to a private gym or keep your dumb butt at home. It’s super easy. But the fact that she like flipped out like this, first off. Like she has a right. Like there’s stuff over there. That woman was going to the weights and the machines that were over in that part of the room. She doesn’t owe you anything. And then the lady posted that online thinking that she was going to be supported as being in the right. And predictably she was not. I mean, the rest of the public had the same reaction that you and I are having. I just, I can’t stand that stuff. That is so annoying. Go film yourself. What are you filming yourself for? Who cares? Seriously, what is your damage? This is what I hate about social media. I’m not saying that people aren’t special little creations of God, but you aren’t so important that you have to film yourself at the gym and rush to share your workout message with the world. Everyone, we’ve gone from participation trophy culture to I have to say something on social media culture. That’s what it is. Now, everybody feels like, oh my gosh, let me show you my workout. Just stop it. And especially to get that nasty with somebody over it. Man, that broad’s lucky she didn’t get a dumbbell thrown at her head. Man, I’m telling you what, because not every chick would have been cool like that with her. Let’s just ask. I hope 24-Hour Fitness kicked her out. Although, I don’t know. Maybe she was a she-he. I don’t know. Never know with some. She seemed pretty aggressive. Maybe she had her tea shot today. We got more on the way. I am mean.

Listen as students and young adults interview well-respected CEOs on our national radio show, realworldleaders.org, to learn secrets for success and how to use them to propel their careers.
SPEAKER 04 :
I think it was really inspiring how Mr. Levin just keeps on wanting to grow and learn more from the people around him, his peers and his advisor, his father even.
SPEAKER 05 :
Anya, how do you want to grow?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, I’m also trying to grow my communications. I just became the communications chair of my school’s TA, student government.
SPEAKER 05 :
Hey, Brett, this thing about communication, how important is that? And how important is for Anya to continue to develop these communication skills?
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s so important. And I think today, as kids, you have your cell phones in your hands all the time and learn how to look people in the eye, publicly speak and talk to people.

for anything. It has to remain true. It is true. And this is where this holding of these, I just don’t know what else to do other than hold these two seemingly incompatible things together at the same time and just hope maybe they will one day resolve or co-join themselves and maybe accept that they never will, but that they can both still be true. And I can love her. I can know she loved me. I can be grateful to her. I can know the things that she said are true. And that can be this whole other thing. And My job feels like to just hold. You don’t have a job. Just to hold all of it. But the bigger thing is just… What she’s done will never be taken away from me.
SPEAKER 08 :
So this is a classic case of self-infatuation. That’s Emma Watson, who the only reason anybody knows her is because another woman created her whole life and gave her a body of work. And without that, she would not be the privileged princess that she is today. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Top of this second hour, the chats at Rumble. You can watch the radio program, Channel 347, DirecTV. She was doing this interview and it was all on the trans stuff about J.K. Rowling. What is this? Well, in my job is to just you don’t have a job. Your job isn’t, that’s not your job. You decided to try to curry favor with the far left by sucking up to Trans Tifa. And so you did that while also, she couldn’t just do it by herself. She had to slam JK Rowling originally when she did it. And I love J.K. Rowling’s response because it’s so cutting. She says that she isn’t owed internal agreement from any actor who once played a character she created. But she said that… These the people who have disagreed with her, they didn’t just disagree with her. She goes, they think that our former professional association gives them a particular right, nay, an obligation to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they all continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created. And she says, until quite recently, I hadn’t managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big, scary film studio. And she says that she didn’t comment on any of these actors. And then she said that. But she is with us when she said that Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note to me from her to me, which contained the single sentence. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. She has my phone number. And she goes, that’s went back when the death and rape and torture threats were at their peak against Rowling. And she said Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames. Yet a one line of expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness. And here’s where it gets really good. She goes, she writes, and this is rallying on X, like other people who’ve never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame. Emma has so little experience of real life. She’s ignorant of how ignorant she is. She’ll never need a homeless shelter. She’s never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital board. She adds, I’d be astounded if she’s ever been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her public bathroom is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed sex changing room at a council run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state run rape crisis center that refuses to guarantee an all female service to find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who’s identified into the women’s prison? She adds, I wasn’t a multimillionaire at 14. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women’s rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges. And the greatest irony here is that had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasure me a Change of tack, I suspect she’s adopted because she’s noticed full-throated condemnation, I mean, is no longer as quite fashionable as it was. I might never have been this honest. That’s a complete utter destruction. Finish her. That’s a complete utter destruction. It is true, though. I love how she says that because she created a world in which Emma Watson was hired to portray a character, she thinks that that gives her a de facto right. I will go further. Not as a spokesperson for the entire world that J.K. Rowling created, but Emma Watson has enjoyed great privileged fame acting as this expert on J.K. Rowling, when Rowling’s reticent to give any kind of statement to the press, when she has declined to even comment on the people that acted in the stories that she’s created. Emma Watson has shown no such courteousness. In fact, she has chased the light and the camera at every opportunity to opine on it. Because she’s not getting the same roles that she was once offered. And I think a lot of that has dried up as she’s progressed into an adult and is no longer considered a child actor. And so I think that she’s had to find more creative ways to keep her name in the press and going after J.K. Rowling and sucking up to the trans Tifa community is one of the ways in which she’s decided to do that. But it doesn’t give her the right to act as this unofficial character. you know, self-nominated spokesperson for Rowling, nor does it give her any kind of special insight into J.K. Rowling. All she did was act as a character in a world that Rowling created years ago. It’s not like they’re close or that they’re besties or anything like that. But boy, has has Emma Watson really tried to trade off the name of J.K. Rowling, who’s still making bank even as as Watson has to chase the cameras just to try to get an inkling of it. It’s really it’s just ridiculous. And so she needed to be put in her place. Emma Watson is like the Greta Thunberg of of acting in a way like she’s in the with with regards to trans. She is a very Greta Thunberg vibe about her. Right. And you don’t always have to have a take. But this is another example of someone who is so desperate to keep their name in the press that they have to have a take. Do you realize how stupid that makes all of conversation everywhere? Think about it in terms of American politics with I mean, anything. Again, example. In American politics, you go on social media, somebody always has to have a take on something. They always have to have a take. And I think that that has made conversation so stupid because in this rush to… There’s more of a rush to be first with a comment than there is to be smart about it. There’s more of a rush to, do you see me? Do you see me? Pick me and wave your hand than there is to… Just be reasoned and think things out and have a fully fleshed out thought before rushing to social media to share a fragment of it. Don’t you think that that’s why everything’s been made so dumb, Cain? Oh, absolutely. It really feels that way. It really feels that way. It is our friends over at Caltech. It is one of the newest that they have. They got something new. They’ve taken their KS7 platform to the next level. So the KS7 Gen 2, super awesome. It’s packed with upgrades.

SPEAKER 07 :
And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 08 :
Guys, I think I found our all of our next career move. If radio stops existing or if you guys have a setback, I got our new career. Here’s the headline. A San Francisco woman charges thirty thousand dollars to help desperate parents name their babies. She’s literally a professional baby namer. What does that mean? Like, how do you do you go to school for that? She charges literally thirty thousand dollars. I can name your baby. I’ll name your baby for $25,000. How about that? Discount. Yeah, discount, right? Super easy. She takes questionnaires, she gives them questionnaires, and then gets likes and dislikes, and then she has the names, meanings, origins, spelling variations, popularity, and quote-unquote vibes. Her services start at $10,000. Baby name branding. Identifying a unique name. Oh, this is so stupid. Just name your babies. People act like ain’t nobody ever been having no babies before. Stop. Oh, my gosh. Let’s see here. This. Okay, now they’re telling. Why do we have to have people tell us how often to wash our car? I said wash. I did. So every two weeks, you’re supposed to wash your car every two weeks.
SPEAKER 07 :
Supposed to what? Supposed to what our car?
SPEAKER 08 :
The headline says, you’re not washing your car enough and you’re supposed to be doing it every two weeks.
SPEAKER 07 :
Whatting our car enough?
SPEAKER 08 :
You heard what I said.
SPEAKER 07 :
What?
SPEAKER 08 :
You heard what I said.
SPEAKER 07 :
I think there’s no R in wash.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m not going to say it because it sounds dumb. Washing. That sounds so stupid. I’m going to wash my car. I sound like I’m pretending to be from Boston.
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s just wash. That’s it. Wash. Wash. No, you’re going eh. It’s wash. Wash.
SPEAKER 08 :
That sounds so, so snotty. I’m going to wash my car. I’m washing it. So you’re supposed to wash your car every two weeks. Do you do that every two weeks, Kane? Does anybody do that every two weeks?
SPEAKER 07 :
Every month or so.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. All right. Let’s see here. Oh, they’re trying to say the Cracker Barrel outrage was almost entirely driven by bots. I don’t believe it was. I don’t believe it was driven by bots. Also, let’s see. Amazon Fire TV device is expected to ditch Android for Linux in 2025. We’re all super excited about that. But here, wait a minute. No, no, no, no. Let me go back up. I’m sorry, Juan. I’m going back up to 1222 where a Tesla worker has sued for 51 million because they were attacked by a giant robot at the factory causing him $7 million in medical expenses. He legit got attacked by a giant robot arm. Peter Hinterdobler. says he’s 50 says he was knocked unconscious by the machine left with serious injuries he’s run up a million dollars and apparently i guess it was on camera uh so it’s like a robotics company and uh yeah he got beaten up by a giant robot see this is what makes me afraid of even getting a little robot vacuum like what if i wake up and it’s like the alien face hugger and it’s trying to vacuum my face up super bowl i don’t have a thought on this can i stay super bowl wait am i not allowed to say that
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s not allowed. Don’t say it again.
SPEAKER 08 :
Uber Bowl A say. Can I do that?
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay. The stupid game. You literally can’t say it. Or is it you can’t say it during the time that it’s on air?
SPEAKER 07 :
Just say the big game.
SPEAKER 08 :
That dumb football game. Because they get so litigious. You can’t even talk about it in news. I don’t know if people realize that. That’s a real thing. Cain, tell the people. Because people don’t believe us. Every year we talk about this and nobody believes me.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, the term Super Bowl together, in quotes, is a copyrighted term. And you can’t use it.
SPEAKER 08 :
You literally can’t say the word. So we can’t say the word on air. Because they’ll sue you. I’m not kidding.
SPEAKER 07 :
No, they’ll demonetize anyone using it, right?
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, digitally, but broadcast, what they’ll do is they’ll file a complaint.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, they could, yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, they’ll file a complaint. So, yeah, you know who, with who? Yeah, FCC. They’ll file a complaint. So you can’t say it. So they decided to get for the, can you even say the time of the show that comes in midway? I don’t think you can say that.
SPEAKER 07 :
You can say that. Yeah, halftime happens in every football game.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, but for these douchers, they’re going to litigate it if you say it, I’m sure. Okay, so they have Bad Bunny who’s performing. Why? For real, why? Thoughts? Steve, what do you make of this pick?
SPEAKER 10 :
I don’t know. Juan’s the big Bad Bunny fan over there. You’ve got to ask him. I like him, but it’s not going to be in any English.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, no. I mean, I’m just like… I know a couple of his songs, but is that really like that widespread? It seems very niche.
SPEAKER 10 :
They’re trying to reach a global audience. They’ve been pushing that for like a decade now. I get it.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, but it’s like, I mean, to reach a global audience, wouldn’t you have like more or like major? I don’t know. Like, I mean, for crying out loud, there’s more. I mean, if they’re trying to be like, we want a Hispanic artist, there’s tons of Hispanic artists that I think… maybe have are more, I would say more, I don’t want to say not mainstream because it’s not like he’s not mainstream, but I would say more universally appreciated, I guess is the term I’m looking for. Does that make sense? It seemed like a real niche pick. Juan’s like, he’s the number one artist in the world. I know Juan loves him. He’s got the downloads, man. I get it. But I’m just like, like who, I feel like they need, you need a supporting act to, that okay so here’s my thinking don’t So you know the grandparents, right? Like, you know, Papa watches this. He watches the Super Bowl. He loves the Super Bowl. Papa’s gonna be like, who the hell is this? Now, Papa is, he’s a weird dude. He likes the Stones and then he likes people like, he likes James Taylor, but then he likes Al Green and like old Motown, right? So just the thought, why couldn’t you? have like a bad bunny and then maybe like an old Motown kind of thing, right? I’m just saying like a few, right? If you really want to be universal, I’m just saying.
SPEAKER 07 :
I mean, will there ever be a bigger one than Prince’s halftime show? No, no.
SPEAKER 08 :
That was the best one ever and I will fight people on it.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, and I don’t think anyone could ever top that.
SPEAKER 08 :
And it literally rained when he was playing Purple Rain. That was from the Lord. That was amazing. So that’s why I’m putting it out. I don’t actually care if it’s a Trump thing because he apparently doesn’t like Trump. And is that why this is a big issue?
SPEAKER 07 :
I think so. But we grew up, like, in the 90s, we had, obviously, Prince and all that. But whenever there was a crappy or…
SPEAKER 08 :
unwanted halftime show other networks would do something during that time to pull people over to their channels right so i’m thinking that we’re going to possibly see something like that in this instance but you know we’ll see i don’t care what their politics are i am coming at this from a purely selfish how does it benefit me angle because i watch the super bowl the game the super game so stupid i hate this Because I’m married and my husband wants to. And there’s certain things that I will do and certain things that he will do. Like, I’ll be like, oh, my gosh, you’re going to go see that Downton Abbey movie with me. And he’s like, dear heavens, woman, fine. Well, you know, what’s the tradeoff for that? I got to watch the game with him. You know what I’m saying? But I… This is like the most entertaining part of the game for me. And I want it to be good. That’s literally the only reason why I care. I don’t care what your politics are. I need you to be like a stellar performer. And so that’s my thing. So is Bad Bunny, is he like a great stage performer? Because this is a whole different ballgame. You know what I’m saying? And I think Juan makes a good point. Juan’s like… I don’t think he’s an artist suited for the Superbowl and Juan saying this in Slack. He’s like, and he’s like, it’s in Spain. I don’t care if it’s a Spanish or not, but he’s like, it’s not meant. This is the point. It’s not meant for kids or a family event broadcast all over the nation. His music is basically audible porn. That is a really good point. And so that’s my thing. Like I don’t cause everybody’s got their kids, you know, nobody wants to be sending their kids out of the room. Can you trust him to do like a super clean set? I don’t know. I don’t know. And the other thing is, a lot of these artists, like last Super Bowl, you know, you have Kanerkel Marr. He might be great in certain venues, but I thought he fell flat in the stadium. I’m sorry. He doesn’t have enough to hold the ground in a stadium. Like Prince can walk into a stadium and you feel like he’s playing to you. He is just a phenomenal performer. Everybody, not everybody’s a Prince. And regardless of whether you love or hate Beyonce, she can do the same thing. Aerosmith can do the same thing. U2 can do the same thing. Bruno Mars can even do the same thing. It’s very different. Like Shakira can do the same thing. Not every artist has the ability to do that. We got more on this. So I think that’s the big objective.
