Dive into a heated discussion about a Dallas coffee shop’s controversial decision to refuse discounts to ICE officers, leading to a manager’s resignation and a broader community boycott. Our hosts dissect the implications of such corporate actions and the power dynamics at play in societal boycotts. They also ponder whether participating in cancel culture conflicts with their ideals.
Good morning. It’s going to take some time to go over and get a cup of coffee at White Rhino Coffee there in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, that’s because we’re not going. That’s because the boycott is underway.
SPEAKER 01 :
I like what you say, though. I like what you said, though. I saw what you said. It’s real simple. Another one of these lunatic far leftists. She’s a manager at a Dallas coffee shop called White Rhino Coffee. And she quit. The manager quit in a huff. Because she refused to give discounts to ICE law enforcement officers despite their policy.
SPEAKER 02 :
They have a first responder. It’s funny because the owners wanted to. In fact, how should we slice and dice this? The owners wanted to. They said, hey, give the first responder discount to ICE officers. She said no, protested and quit. And then I guess the company buckled.
SPEAKER 01 :
That’s right. The company backed down and said we will no longer give any discounts to first responders who happen to be. Done. Yep, yep. So the mob wins. I guess she wins. But where’s white rhino coffee? Do you know where it is?
SPEAKER 02 :
See, here’s the thing. When you boycott something that you have never heard of before. I mean, I don’t know if I would ever spend the time.
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, that’s it.
SPEAKER 02 :
And you’re very kind about what you said about me. I said, listen, the system works. The company has the right to harbor these hatreds if they wish. And then everybody has the right to purchase their coffee accordingly.
SPEAKER 01 :
I keep thinking that mantra in my head because you’re so right. The system works. Go where you want to go. Spend where you want to spend. We don’t need to even organize. It doesn’t even have to be a boycott or a boycott. Let people do what they want to do. And it just reminds me of all these people that are making all of these lunatic videos. They’re getting fired. It feels good when they get fired. But on the other hand… aren’t we then guilty of embracing the cancel culture that we’ve usually condemned?
SPEAKER 02 :
Only if it seems arbitrary or after the fact or it’s something five years ago or something that doesn’t matter. Because if there is somebody who does something, and this is a great debate, let’s say somebody who has a job over here posts something on social media over there, is there a Berlin Wall of separation where you’re supposed to not pay attention to? Or if you work for XYZ Corporation, And one of your mid-level managers says that, you know, Trump is Hitler and let’s kill ICE agents. Well, that’d be a crime. Trump is Hitler or whatever, some horribly divisive, terrible thing. And that reflects badly on the company. Doesn’t the company get to do something? Of
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, not only that, many of these people that have been fired recently are nurses. They’re in the health care profession. How could you trust a nurse to give you proper care if you happen to be on her operating table? And there’s where it becomes a very – not only an ethical question, but a liability thing because these health care – facilities the the hospitals and so forth they risk legal exposure if somebody dies on their operating table and turns out this lunatic flaming anti-law enforcement nurse was the anesthesiologist you know they get sued so but and that brings me to the district attorney of philadelphia
SPEAKER 02 :
Before you go there, sit tight. Put him in District Attorney in Philadelphia. Because I think we need to do a minute or two on one particular nurse. And good for him for being a nurse. And good for him for being in the ICU. And good for him for caring for veterans. And that’s Alec Fretty, recently deceased, who is now clearly revealed as a flaming psychotic. In that video, you’ve seen the video you posted about that. It doesn’t change anything about the circumstances of the shooting. The left is going nuts. The conservatives are saying he deserved to get shot because 11 days earlier he kicked a car. Not at all. We’re saying that that explodes the narrative of him as some saintly choir boy Boy Scout who was just going about his business monitoring things. He was an agitator, an instigator, a troublemaker, and trouble found him.
SPEAKER 01 :
Last night, Anna Navarro, actually the night before last, before this video was revealed by the BBC, I note that it took the BBC to find this previous video that had not been discovered by, oh, I don’t know, ABC, CBS, or NBC, or CNN, or MS Now. MS Now, I guess, was going to wait until later to find this video. But Anna Navarro said… Alex Preddy, that’s the kind of guy that every parent would want their daughter to date. This is the kind of man, a kind, loving, caring. And there he was. They found him on video. Effing assault me, MFers. F-ing trash. He’s breaking out the taillights of the vehicle, kicking out the taillight of an ICE vehicle. By the way, as he’s doing all that, you can see the gun, the same gun, in the waistband. Hey, Mark, every concealed carry permit holder in Texas knows the answer to this question. Is that how you behave if you’re concealed carry? Correct.
SPEAKER 02 :
None of this is about the Second Amendment. None of it is about his right to carry. Of course he has the right to carry, but with that right comes responsibilities. Speaking of MS.
SPEAKER 01 :
So wait a minute, so wait a minute, so wait a minute. So after he kicks the taillight out and after he’s screaming and he’s spitting on them and all the crazy stuff, this is like, what, 13 days ago? This was a week or two before he had this, before he was shot and killed. They jump out of the car. They take him to the ground. They, they, and guess what? They let him go. Let him go. They didn’t even arrest him. Do you mean I can go up and kick the taillight out of a Dallas cruiser and with the cop in the car and he’s not going to arrest me? But they didn’t arrest him. And incidentally, had they arrested him in Jacob Fry’s Minneapolis, maybe he would have been in jail and he wouldn’t have been killed.
SPEAKER 02 :
Last thing on MSNOW, and then I want your Philadelphia DA story. You saw, I trust, what MSNBC, MSNOW, what they did to the still photograph of Alex Freddie. They made him a little prettier. We all know what he looks like, and may God rest him, and it’s terrible that he’s passed. So put that picture in your head. Bless his heart. He kind of looks like young Fagin from Oliver in real life. But they turned him into Ryan Gosling. They gave him a tan. They fixed his teeth. They squared up his face a little bit. They… It was in order to, it’s like, what are they doing?
SPEAKER 01 :
And I didn’t believe it.
SPEAKER 02 :
What in the world are they doing?
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, I didn’t believe it, and then they confirmed it. Well, then they confirmed it, because they were called out for it. And MSNBC said, yeah, it was an AI-enhanced version that we, what? Right. An AI-enhanced version?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, AI-enhanced. Alexandra Ingram, a 23-year-old girl working in the back. They worked on the computer to make him look better, to make him more palatable.
SPEAKER 01 :
What in the world? So they morphed. They took John C. Reilly and turned him into Tom Cruise. I mean, but why?
SPEAKER 02 :
What’s the point? To make him more palatable, to make him literally more attractive. What, if his teeth are crooked, he’s not palatable? Well, I don’t care what anybody looks like. Well, who does? There are plenty of shallow folk out there. Well, yeah, like namely MSNBC. If we’re trying to make him a hero, it’s good that he looked gallant and healthy and tanned and fit.
SPEAKER 01 :
That’s probably the goofiest aspect of this whole goofy story.
SPEAKER 02 :
Philadelphia DA, I bogged you down enough. Philadelphia DA, what you got?
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, I asked the question about the nurses and how you can say how could they be trusted to treat somebody who has a political ideology different from their own. Imagine being the district attorney. You’re the chief law enforcement officer, in a sense, in Philadelphia, right? And you’re presented with a case. A law enforcement officer who happens to be ICE has been slaughtered by somebody, has been murdered. And they’ve got the guy who murdered that person. How is the district attorney’s office going to represent the Hitler, because this is what Larry Krasner, this guy is a stone cold lunatic. He held a press conference and said, if we got to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, ICE officers, we will find you. Then he had a Zoom call after this raging lunacy press conference where he said he’s going to hunt down ICE officers and prosecute them like Nazis. Then he held a Zoom call for an hour with a bunch of other lawyers talking about how they’re going to use lawfare to prosecute members of this community. Mark, now, again, how can this guy be expected to prosecute anybody who is charged with a crime against somebody who has a political ideology. These prosecutors are completely out of control. This is another Soros prosecutor. George Soros got his guy with Larry Krasner. But I’m telling you, look at the clip. Listen to this guy. It’ll make your blood run cold. He is a stone cold. cold, rabid, lunatic.
SPEAKER 02 :
For some actor to be spouting this nonsense, who cares? But somebody who is a prosecutor, and as you said, in some of the professions that are about caring for all people, serving all people, like nurse, doctor, teacher, for them to have these poisons is a whole other thing.
SPEAKER 01 :
District attorney?
SPEAKER 02 :
That’s a powerful guy. I need 60 seconds from you on a story that truly means nothing against the backdrop of life, but the entire country’s talked about it for two days. You’re aware, I’m sure, that Bill Belichick was denied entry into the NFL Hall of Fame, right?
SPEAKER 01 :
I was, yes. I saw that.
SPEAKER 02 :
It’s the no-brainer of all no-brainers in terms of what’s on paper, his victories, his genius. Maybe that was a lot of Tom Brady, but still, you know, his obvious first ballot Hall of Famer until it just wasn’t. So I got three possible reasons why. One, he’s a total jerk and has been forever. Number two, the cheating, Spygate, Deflategate. And number three, from the voters, either revulsion or, I don’t know, envy at the 24-year-old girlfriend. Which do you think it was, and was it right or wrong that he was… get told no by the NFL Hall of Fame?
SPEAKER 01 :
Maybe a combination of all three. I mean, maybe a little bit of each. It’s kind of weird. His behavior is just weird. He’s kind of creepy. But I don’t know that being kind of creepy negates you from…
SPEAKER 02 :
If it’s about merit, then he’s clearly in. But is it about merit? Here’s the other weird thing. If it’s a Hall of Fame, should it be kind of a boys club of players, owners, an NFL treehouse kind of thing? Because the majority of voters are media, and the media hate him as much as he hates them. Absolutely.
SPEAKER 01 :
I guess. I guess. I don’t know. But I tell you what I get very excited about. Yesterday, Trump announced the Trump accounts. And this is such an exciting, exhilarating example of his ingenuity of taking kids up to 18 years old, creating these Trump accounts. Do you see what they yield? There are kids that are going to be millionaires by the time they’re 28 years old. Depending on what’s put into them. Depending on what’s put into it. And people are lining up. Companies are lining up left and right to contribute to it. They’re going to run a Super Bowl commercial promoting the Trump accounts. It’s going to be aired in obviously the largest televised event of the year. Venture capitalists confirmed it. All these companies are pledging. Dell Computers, they pledged $6.25 billion to the accounts. All these big, huge companies. And it’s real simple. I mean, funds in the Trump accounts will be invested in an index tracking the S&P 500. And essentially, if it’s done properly, a kid that starts out as a toddler could have over a million dollars in the bank by the time that child is 28 years old.
SPEAKER 02 :
60 seconds on the on the super bowl itself seattle new england congratulations the two best teams so yay i sort of wanted chicago and houston some narratives so you know i mean i’ll always watch this guess who’s not going uh well i know a lot of people aren’t going what do you mean in fact most people trump this would be a natural wouldn’t it and i think oh he’s not gonna be there if it were the bears and the texans i think trump is there and it would just be oh look because He’s not going to the Super Bowl? You know why? Bad Bunny and Green Day. Bad Bunny halftime. Nope, not going to do that, he said.
SPEAKER 01 :
Did you see that? He said, I’m anti them.
SPEAKER 02 :
I’m not going.
SPEAKER 01 :
Have you seen the Budweiser commercial they’ve already unveiled?
SPEAKER 02 :
I heard. about it, and I hear, are they back after some whiffs? The Clydesdales and this, but is it good?
SPEAKER 01 :
A bunch of conservative influencers saying, thanks to this ad, I may have to rethink my boycott of Bud Light and Budweiser. It’s so good. It’s a horse. It’s a Clydesdale horse and a little baby eagle. And I’ll just tell you that… Well, there you are. Well, listen… Oh, I mean, I’m crying just telling you about it. The little baby eagle is a tiny little hatchling, and it’s getting rained on, and the big horse is taking care of it, and the baby eagle rides on the horse’s back in the farmlands, and then the baby eagle gets bigger and majestic. And then the final scene, you see the huge eagle wings on the back of the Clydesdale. And then it says Budweiser, 250 years strong like America.
SPEAKER 02 :
Isn’t the Anheuser-Busch logo a big eagle sprawled out over an A and a B?
SPEAKER 01 :
Come to think of it, it is. Was that Bud? I guess. And then the two farmers are watching it all, the guys in the field. And the one guy says, are you crying? And the guy says, sun’s in my eyes. I mean, it is the coolest. Oh, you’ll love it. Budweiser’s back. I love it. I love it.
SPEAKER 02 :
It may rival what was for me the best one ever. Which is? The best Clydesdale one, where the Clydesdales…
SPEAKER 01 :
He’s getting emotional already. I love it.
SPEAKER 02 :
I love it. Post 9-11, Mike, the Clydesdales across the river bowing in the direction of the New York City skyline. Are you kidding me? Oh, I know. I might drink a beer during the show in honor of them. I’m not crying.
SPEAKER 01 :
You’re crying. Happy Thursday. Love you, too. I’ll see you.
SPEAKER 02 :
Mike Gallagher, 10 o’clock. He’s going to sob like a baby or rock or something like that. For full shows live and on demand, it’s Salem News Channel.
