02-02-26 Part One - The Grammys Were On?
76 min
•Feb 2, 20264 months agoSummary
Red Eye Radio hosts Gary McNamara and Eric Harley discuss the Grammy Awards, Jelly Roll's controversial religious speech, a landmark $2 million medical malpractice lawsuit against doctors who performed gender transition surgery on a minor, and the federal arrest of Don Lemon for allegedly violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act during church protests.
Insights
- Medical malpractice lawsuits over gender transition procedures on minors are likely to proliferate, forcing hospitals and doctors to reassess irreversible treatment protocols due to liability concerns similar to the opioid crisis
- The FACE Act (1994) protects religious freedom at places of worship with the same legal force as reproductive health clinic access, yet many on the left are unaware of this federal law's scope
- Award shows and celebrity recognition have become increasingly irrelevant to mainstream audiences; employment and continued work remain the only meaningful 'award' for professionals
- The radical left is now leading Democratic Party messaging rather than following it, as evidenced by shifts in policy positions and protest tactics across multiple issues
- Streaming platforms (YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime) have fundamentally replaced traditional television, with true crime documentaries emerging as the dominant content category for engaged viewers
Trends
Medical liability in gender-affirming care for minors becoming a major legal and institutional risk factorDecline of traditional award show relevance and cultural impact among general audiencesShift from protest-based activism to direct physical interference and obstruction tactics by radical left groupsStreaming video dominance over cable and broadcast television for content consumptionGrowing awareness of definitional gaps in medical diagnoses (gender dysphoria) creating legal vulnerabilityRadicalization of Democratic Party messaging and policy direction by activist wings rather than institutional leadershipTrue crime documentary consumption as primary streaming content category for news-engaged audiencesFederal law enforcement intervention in local protest activities when state/local DAs decline prosecution

Now it's red eye radio Gary McNamara and Eric Harley talk about everything from politics to social issues and news of the day whether you're up late or you're just starting your day welcome to the show from the Uniden America Studios this is red eye radio all across America how's everybody doing he's Eric Harley and I'm Gary McNamara ready to go Groundhog Day Groundhog Day what the hell are these kids listening to today hey yeah bad bunny squeaky squirrels Cinnabon jelly roll I mean what I woke up apparently the Grammys were last night yes all right because I didn't see any normally you and I only I only learned about it I can't speak for you I only learn about it if it's in the news if something like that's in the news award shows aren't on my radar at all anymore when our late friend Bill Mack won his Grammy that was probably in 97 that was probably the last time I cared about the Grammys and I woke up and there's all these you know the whole string of notifications from from news organizations you know about bad bunny and Grammys and I'm like I guess I miss the Grammy I miss is a large word I guess I didn't watch the Grammys which of course I didn't but that's the only way I learn about these award shows it was like Rogan was talking to Bert Kreischer the comedian about the whole hubbub I didn't know there was a hubbub about Rogan not getting a Golden Globe I didn't know they gave out Golden Globes for podcasts yeah I saw that and then he talked about he didn't want to submit that we have to pay a fee well but he said he said even if they didn't charge the fee he wouldn't have submitted because it's a small organization a small group a committee of people that decide you're gonna be number one well he's been number one this is what we said to Will Smith when they were complaining about the Oscars years ago you know he was complaining no people of color are winning Oscars and I want my children to see you know people of color on the stage getting awards and I thought to myself you know that's a beef with a small group of people the largest group of people people Mr. Smith went and collectively paid I don't know billions of dollars to go see your movies that's where the award is as we've always said the the the best awards are remaining employed yeah there is no other award like remaining employed and I know you know being in this business I know people that are just live and die by if they get an award or recognition I I just I know you never cared about that I don't care about it I just want to I just want to do the things that I want to do and I get to do that here and the reward is is actually that I'm this agent still working I mean there's well you know I mean what kind of an award is that well I mean I don't get to retire at 65 I'm still here yeah five years later yeah good luck it's punishment for us you know no it's no it is you're right it's punishment that's our award punishment I can't quit the damn thing well I saw this thing apparently I didn't know but the hallmark movies are not so much the romance movies anymore they're the mysteries the mystery oh yeah they've got hallmark mysteries and I thought okay that's way that's the way to go you know uh uh it's and I watched a few minutes of one and I thought because my wife was watching this movie and I thought to myself all right I'll I'll bite let's see if it's different it's pretty much the same thing you know family friendly except for all the murdering part it's family friendly it's uh you know it's it's not the cheesy romance thing even though they're still doing that thing the christmas thing they're still doing that thing but then I saw gerry o'connell's picture on one of the thumbnails for one of the mystery movies now this is gerry o'connell going back as a child actor to stand by me and the whole thing uh seems to be a funny guy I don't know how old he is now but I thought to myself you know actors who are just I forget who it wasn't set it if someone if the phone is ringing that's a good day you know somebody wants you to work someone calls you to work I'll just apply that to any job someone calls you and asks you to do some work and they're willing to pay you that's a good day I will tell you that the same thing happened to me when you were saying it I went because I didn't hear anything and and again I understand our focus might not be the focus of somebody who's watching TMZ all the time right but I scan and pay enough attention to what goes on when you when you scan well I don't know 50 different sites every day and then you you scroll through all of different social media I didn't even I did not know the Grammys were on till like four o'clock this afternoon right before I went to sleep it started appearing at that point yeah you know the the Grammys coming up I thought that what was interesting is uh this seems to be the most controversial moment of the Grammys last night are you ready here we go I got I got this audio to play here and it's it's jelly roll and you're gonna know when you hear this you're gonna say oh my gosh I mean even though they're cheering for this the left has to go bonkers on this non-social media they were this is what I woke up to going the controversial comments by jelly roll yeah like what did he say you know I I know that that uh bonkers bunny uh said something about ice out I know that ice out ice out ice out all right and I was like yes nor uh but here's here's jelly roll here we go I was broken that's why I wrote this album I didn't think I had a chance y'all there was days that I thought the darkest things I was a horrible human there was a moment in my life that all I had was a bible this big and a radio the same size and a six by eight foot cell and I believe that those two things could change my life I believe that music had the power to change my life and God had the power to change my life and I want to tell y'all right now Jesus is for everybody Jesus is not owned by one political party Jesus is not owned by no news available Jesus is Jesus and anybody can have a relationship with him I love you Lord all right that's that's a kind of controversy I'm looking for now the interesting thing is as he was doing you know that his his monologue his speech the camera only panned and showed one person twice Reba McIntyre who had a big smile on her face and stood up and was jerry and everything else I'm like well I mean I don't know if he's making the case that you know Republicans can't claim they own Christianity which is what it sounded like to me but I would just remind him or maybe he doesn't know maybe he needs to be informed I don't know if he was in jail at the time but the Democrats booed God on stage at one of their conventions yes he needs to be needs to uh he needs to know that I don't know if he was being political there I yeah I've seen him I've seen him uh and actually because of YouTube uh seen him at prisons he's really good yeah look I'm all all for uh rehabilitation stories uh he finally got a pardon by his governor so that he could then travel into Canada he could you know he could he could go tour in Canada and do that and full rehabilitation I'm all for whether you're somebody who's a a big star or whatever it is or somebody who's not it doesn't matter if you if you turn over a new leaf I'm all for second even third chances you know if you're working at it I got that that was a question from jury duty really yeah what are prison you know what what do you expect you know when somebody goes to prison what are your and I think it was the choices and then they in order I think it was uh rehabilitation punishment uh oh what's the other one um incarceration separating them from society uh no so so so uh right I think it was like something like it's safety whatever right safe and I think I I think I went uh uh you know safety I think it was I think it was safety um um punishment and then rehabilitation right I think that's what I put yeah you know so um because you don't want the criminal out in the street I mean that's right look there are certain criminals where and and I look at the nature of the crime and I I believe that there is zero chance for rehabilitation don lemon for example right look he tried to go to church but it didn't work out for him don't worry we'll get to that yeah so um it's you know I I look at at certain crimes and it again if there is a behavior that is especially nefarious uh then I have a mindset that it's unlikely that that person would be rehabilitated and would be safe and public uh crimes against children yeah that is something that most of us in society can't wrap our brain around and it's why many of those offenders get life in prison without parole and should but in terms of other things I mean you know it just depends again on the nature of the crime you know I mean you look at my wife and I for some reason we well we were talking about killers uh over the weekend and you know what drives a person what would drive a person to take another life and you know that kind of thing and and uh the Brian Coburger case of the of the Idaho students but then the the BTK killer and the documentary that came out I within the last year year and a half about his his daughter basically and and how all that went down you know these are individuals that clearly can't be rehabilitated um you know that's that's not going to happen uh the most heinous of crimes but the most evil of individuals uh really and but but with other crimes there there is a chance you know and that's look the jelly roll thing is one of those stories it was kind of like the moral Haggard story you know moral Haggard you know realized well music is going to be his his way to you know not get in trouble again and that's how it happened you know so um those it's it's also interesting you know in the messaging you know it's I'm wondering where uh the music industry Hollywood and all of that collectively you know where they're gonna where they're gonna find their messaging I it's it it used to seem like they were kind of in the lead in the forefront rather of of all of this protest kind of stuff right like the Democrats used to kind of lead oh yeah other people but now it's the radicals leading them yeah oh without question I mean it's I don't think you can look at the Democratic Party anyway for a significant period of time now that it's the radical left that is actually leading you see it here on you see it on the budget you see it across the board on on every single issue uh and we'll get into that based on the because all you know the news out there about the one district in my county for the state uh senate race it went it was solidly I mean what 2017 points trump won by and the in the special I think he won by 17 17 points and what was her I think 14 her laws were like 14 but it was a huge huge turnaround in a solidly red district so all the questions are okay what happened there and we'll get to that you know coming up also just so one of those days again Monday suck because I don't know where to start yeah yeah very busy weekend but but we will next we are red eye radio brought to you by hot shot secret hi I'm Jen lumas a transport safety expert at JJ Keller compliance safety accountability is the FMCSA safety compliance and enforcement program its goal is to hold motor carriers and drivers accountable for highway safety csa does this by assessing the safety performance of motor carriers and drivers motor carriers are assigned to score the carrier is then grouped with other carriers who have had a similar number of safety events carrier scores within the group are then ranked low scores are better so carriers with the highest scores are those that are most likely to be targeted for intervention by the FMCSA interventions range and severity and may include warning letters roadside offsite or onsite inspections civil penalties or operation out of service orders this tip was brought to you by JJ Keller and associates visit us at JJ Keller.com the lines open for your calls 866 90 red eye on red eye radio we are red eye radio here's your crawling I'm Gary McNamara uh this story here is something that you and I talked about a long time ago because we've been on the the radical transgender uh insanity for over a decade uh so early on that we even had members of our listeners of our own from our audience tell us a long time ago you guys are focusing on something that's never going to be a big deal yeah well that was wrong yeah that didn't age well uh but we always said that all of this would stop when the lawsuit started when the excuse me when the lawsuits were successful and the first lawsuit was successful out of new york yeah a woman who received a double mastectomy at the age of 16 under the guise of transgender related health care was just awarded two million dollars in the first successful medical malpractice lawsuit brought by somebody who was uh transitioning hmm uh fox variant was named uh her name sued her new york based psychologist and plastic surgeon for facilitating her gender transaction double mastectomy in 2019 uh the the mother uh was led by her daughter's psychologist to believe the breast removal was the only way to heal her gender dysphoria she told the jury wow the man was so emphatic with and pushing and pushing i felt like there was no good decision she said i think it was a scare tactic i don't believe it was malice i think he believed what he was saying but he was very very wrong this is the mother saying the idea of a 16 year old daughter receiving a mastectomy made her physically ill but she said she was led to believe by the psychologist that she would be unhappy unless she was affirmed in her gender dysphoria wow it was the hardest most difficult gulp gut wrenching uh decision and she was wrong i mean excuse me she was right the psychologist was wrong two million dollar lawsuit this is just the beginning this is lawsuit number one well and it's not you know the the the thing is is it's not going to go away because the this is a fairly if you think about it still fairly a new movement yes and these individuals are many of them as they move into adulthood dealing with ramifications one way or the other it will not be the end the lawsuits are going to pile up in a big big big big way and the question will be is what comes down then what happens to these so-called medical professionals who are treating these children because this is not something like a sanctioned operation where negligence happened in the operation right the malpractice is in the procedure itself right right after a series of events it's not one mistake it was intentional in a series of events that happened leading up to irreversible harm there there's when you when you when you go to prove intent it's going to be so easy in these cases because there will be a series of visits and and discussions that will be had and all of that will be laid out for you this is intentional music tired of partisan noise america is more divided than ever but independent americans is adding light to contrast all that heat independent americans daily news with army veteran paul ricoff pressing issues of the day the leaders who are shaping what america will be in the future we're going to bring the righteous media five eyes independence integrity information inspiration and impact join the movement independent americans from believe follow and listen on your favorite platform you're listening to red eye radio from the uniden america studios and he's here crony and i'm gary mac demaro welcome and good morning thanks so much for being here uh so yeah that story over the weekend where the jury awards uh the uh deed transition are two million dollars in the historic medical malpractice lawsuit this is the radical transgender movement here in action and you and i said a long time ago it's going to stop this the surgeries on minors is going to be uh the the courts is going to be civil lawsuits and this is the first one i just i thought this was important to read this part of it the defendants the psychologists and the plastic surgeon implied that the woman wanted the medical procedure and was even at risk of suicide should she not receive a mastectomy we know that's something that has been promoted all the time if you don't do uh if you don't do genital mutilation or irreversible hormone treatments uh then they'll commit suicide and like well maybe you shouldn't be doing that maybe there are bigger medical issues here uh than than the transitioning uh but uh they they said uh the defendants again said the variant wanted the medical procedure and was even at risk of suicide should she not receive the mastectomy the attorney called deacons consent a critical fact of the case and asked jurors what might have happened to a potentially suicidal woman had the uh the the doctor and the psycho plastic surgeon and the psychologist not had refused to do the surgery the woman's legal team argued that the matter in question was not if the surgery should have been performed on her because she was a minor but if doctors correctly assumed variant had the woman had gender dysphoria defendants did not notify her of the risks hazards and alternatives before the surgery the legal term claimed this is not a case about regret uh but about the healthcare professionals who chose to quote empower a patient instead of treat her the psychologist and plastic surgeon should have ensured that the woman's other psychological conditions including anorexia depression adhd autism and body dysmorphia were well controlled before approving the surgery what you're doing is you're setting the it's like what is the medical definition of gender dysphoria yeah because in the law as you and i've talked about before what obama because robomas the one that got this all started and it was basically you don't get to question it if a person says they have gender dysphoria if a person says if a man says i should be a woman that's it well it may not be medically but legally that's where they wanted to go and that's the question what constitutes it legally is based in medical opinion where you have activists that are influencing medical opinion even practicing doctors that will clearly by the result of this case manipulate people into thinking they're doing the right thing and doing irreversible harm so you know this is this is the problem you get into it's for all of us standing on the outside of this this is easy to see it's easy to to look at all right because in a civil case in all civil cases you're looking to determine if damage was done and then if so what will be awarded what will be the result of that damage being done what will be done about it well it's easy for us to anybody with any level of critical thinking skills to tell you to easily lay out there you cannot do this because it's irreversible and long term you can't change that there is there's no way to change that there's no way to correct it once you've altered the human body in that way it's for good this is where the medical community has to come to some kind of consensus that this is wrong well they put that they put that doubt in the jury's mind when they said the legal team argued that the matter in question was not if the surgery should have been performed on her because she was a minor but if doctors correctly assumed that she had gender dysphoria well what what is the medical if you've got somebody if you've got a minor who is saying and they seem to agree on it they both sides seem to agree on it she was saying i'm going to commit suicide if i don't get this if i don't get this this uh you know uh my the double mastectomy i'm going to commit suicide well what's the definition of gender dysphoria if that isn't the definition of gender dysphoria what act what actually is the medical term behind it and did the defense here's my thing did the defense just because the first thing i i'd said this earlier and i might have jumped the gun on it where i said uh this is they're going after the procedure itself you know the procedure was done correctly there wasn't a mistake or negligence in the actual operation what they're saying is there might have been a problem with diagnosis on something that how the hell do you diagnose it and this is where you're going to have hospitals go we can't be a part of this because nobody can define what gender dysphoria is it really is going to have to start with the medical community making a decision on this they're going to have to and and and and beyond massive liabilities i mean the liabilities are are what will change minds that seemingly won't be changed but there is no doubt you have these activists with a great deal of power whether they're a psychologist or a surgeon or both you're going to have to look at all groups within the medical community and they have to reassess if this is the proper way to do this again you're because this is an elective surgery this is not something done to save a life well they're trying to make the claim it is because they told the jury well what if she didn't get the operation she might have committed suicide right how do you know that she wouldn't which is not which is not a standard no for life for a life-saving situation like in an er and this is what the medical community has to come to terms with because everybody's saying well we don't know right we don't we we we we don't know no i mean what's you know she might have committed suicide if she didn't get it therefore it's justification to do this to a minor now the interesting thing is would it be different if you're not a minor because they didn't argue them i think things may change there because they didn't argue the minor okay i mean this opens it up big time to adults well you know it's up to them to i i'm just the person who's experiencing these symptoms i'm not the medical professional and yes i had these feelings but you know but if you go into it and this is where the i can see the legal teams and hospitals and you just can't get involved in this you just can't do it because if they change their mind they'll say see i changed my mind i didn't have gender dysphoria and you were wrong to help me with this right i mean i can see an adult coming back easily on this and suing and winning you were wrong to perform this procedure to give me this treatment that was irreversible it's not like again getting dressed or putting makeup on or cutting hair it's it's not any of that once you start irreversible treatment look at this look at where the medical community is right now in terms of liabilities and the great concern over opioids right i mean at one time there were the the way that opioids were being written the scripts on opioids were being written you know half-hassedly well here this will help you here this will help you well there had to be some kind of assessment quite unfortunately after a series of again a series of events that takes place where people die or people get greatly hurt and now it's very different so if you look at at where they are and it with with big pharma with with with with the medical industry it is decided quite often through lawsuits or stories that rise to the top i think it was both with opioids but now you've got a situation where surgery and treatment is being done that's irreversible how can you be a part of if you're a doctor how can you be a part of condoning that you're a full-on radical yeah i with an agenda yeah which is a hero complex you think you're being a hero for this person and i believe those doctors actually believe that not just for the person for the movement politically they believe it i'm on i'm going to be on the right side of history without any regard to the life and future of that person and it looks like the the legal problem here is legally nobody can define what gender dysphoria is right and since you can't define what it is well then that's the doubt in any jury's mind who who wants what hospital wants to be part of these lawsuits remember and malpractice you know a lot of things for example you go in and get heart surgery and they give you a defective valve and somebody knew it was defective and there boom there it goes right yeah but the operation itself even though you can you can get it i mean if if you are diagnosed wrong but if you're diagnosed wrong you've got hard data to show it i was thinking of you when john ridder died and his his wife sued and they thought he was having what a heart attack whatever he wasn't and and so you know they want a lawsuit you know but everything said a lot of court on that uh and so but you look at that there's sciences involved you know nobody has any idea they don't know it's an analysis by one psychologist who said yeah you've got gender dysphoria the jury's going we don't know if she did you don't know what's definition nobody seems to know the definition of it right we are red eye radio we'll be right back with more red eye radio with eric harley and gary macdemarra we are red eye radio i'm gary macdemarra he's eric harley man that was so sad i i did a double take because uh i just i couldn't believe it uh katherine the actress comedian uh kathryn o'hara yeah that's really sad oh man i'm and i did see when um uh what's her uh i can't think of his name kevin the uh the actor's name uh mccullough uh colkin when he was uh in we used ducted into the the hollywood uh what is it star hall of fame whatever that is walk of fame walk of fame yes and she introduced him and it was just and it was a year and a half ago but i didn't see it until last summer i saw it on youtube and it was like she was so sweet and she was just you could tell so proud of him because he's really i mean he's seems to be doing very very well yeah and she was just so great and looks so healthy and everything else so it just uh wow just it caught me off guard i went man this camp this can't be right but yeah as we all know and demond wilson yes oh man i don't remember a time i mean we watched i probably watched every episode of sanford and son i don't know probably 10 times and kathryn o'hara i was lucky because growing up on the border we saw her way before most american audiences did on sc tv out of toronto before they syndicated it a few years later on american tv it was coming out of you know canadian broadcast tv we'd see it all the time yeah she was just great yeah very funny uh seemingly

up late or you're just starting your day welcome to the show from the uniden america studios this is redeye radio all across america we are redeye radio he is here carlian i'm gary macdemire brown hog day uh is that movie gonna be on a billion times now over the next week yeah i was wondering that uh would anyone see it because where are you gonna show it cables all but gone you're gonna have to watch it on youtube well no ton of streaming channels out there with that's what i mean it'd have to be on streaming yeah yeah i i consider that tv though well this i remember years ago when someone said it was probably 2008 2009 someone said youtube will be the tv of the future and i laughed it's not gonna happen because you know i'm good at predicting the future and here we are i mean streaming overall but we we watch movies tv shows oh yeah everything's original content all of it if the only thing i watch on netflix is documentaries with the exception of one new miniseries that i watched which is very compelling called adolescence but normally it's true crime documentaries and there's a ton of those on youtube i mean if i had to pare it down if someone said you could only keep one it would be a clear winner the the 11 bucks or whatever i pay for no ads on youtube that's all i'm paying yeah it's the it's nothing everything else we go away it's the it's the best for me it's the the best investment i never thought you can read movies on youtube i know but i never thought never thought that i would pay youtube not to get commercials well because but it's great it's great because there's so much content yeah and the way that they put the commercials in is so irritating because it just well it breaks up everything it'll be right in the middle of just all the sudden an ad starts and then it's like no no i watched something on amazon prime the other day and you're going through three or four ads before the show starts and you pay to watch the show yeah you pay to rent the movie or whatever yep and it was like yeah that's annoying how can i get out of this somehow wait a minute i'm paying for prime well i i don't know is there is there another level beyond it could be you know a prime is there a prime plus i guess there might be i'm not paying for it i don't go there often enough because because the guys here just were harping on me for the longest time i finally watched the first two episodes of landmen from the first year yeah right yes and i will tell you this my analysis after now it's taken me i don't know five or six five days to watch two episodes and i have a feeling it's going to be slower it's it's you know by the time i watch a season it's going to be six months from now and and then season two is there but what it is it's about the it's about a guy in the oil business whose wife is pegbunty and whose daughter is kelly from married with children that's my analysis of landmen yeah it's serious it's it's uh it's adoneal it's al bundy going to work every day in the oil business and he's married to peg and kelly is his daughter now all right now the bud the bud in it seems to be very focused on on a career so that's my analysis and married with children was too it was going to be a rap artist to remember the fact that i know his name bothers me yeah what was it what was the rap name grandmaster b yeah there you go yeah he was focused i mean it didn't go anywhere but he was focused he was focused on it he was focused yes so yeah that's my analysis of landmen after watching two episodes so well there you go and and there was really the second episode that solidified that his whatever her alley the lotter something like that she's she's pegbunty she's absolutely pegbunty just yeah the most lazy thing at least after two episodes and i heard in the second season apparently they get back together because it's his ex wife all right it's his ex wife now but all right she's pegbunty they film a lot of that around here oh i know uh when i was in there a restaurant over christmas time they film in the basement of the restaurant that i was in yeah right yeah so it's uh some of the shots are really cool like i've never seen think about this i've lived in uh texas now 26 years they had the greatest shot from a highway around midland where you could see it and i'm like wow it's like a 15 story building there yeah right and then i love the line you know how long you gonna be hey it's midland you're 15 minutes away from everything pretty much it's a pretty much but yeah it's uh it again i i just i have a i like watching shows that complete in an hour yeah you know even when reacher came out before uh i figured the what's his name allen whatever's name is a whacked out richman leftist i mean just whacked out um but when i was it took me a long time to watch those episodes because you know an hour it's like okay it's not over yet two hours it's not over yet i'm not really good at continuing i like i like my tv shows wrapped up in an hour i didn't finish i'd never watched any of the last season of yellowstone i watched every other season but for me it became too much like not's landing in dalis from the 80s it just did and it's funny because um oh what's his name that's in uh he's in was in one of the prequels uh and also is in i think he's in land man uh yeah sam elliott said the same thing in an interview they asked him well did you watch because it was during the promotion of the pre one of the prequel movies or series that 1883 yeah it was i think it was that one because he was and he's he said they asked him did you watch yellowstone and he said no it came off as you know too much of a soap opera and that's exactly what i felt about it it seemed like a one of those you know prime time soap operas from the 80s as it progressed they were on a good path and it just kind of developed into that people loved it it was great i'm hoping they'll develop uh the the um story behind the four sixes which is related to my family but oh yeah more importantly it's a great story the history of it i don't know if it would be you know a long term series that's another thing limited series for me are much better get it in in three or four episodes and be done i'm great that way i'm great that way adolescence which is this british tv show uh or i don't know show um but it's four episodes each of the episodes is done in one shot no ai editing or anything like that one camera that moves throughout every shot and takes you each episode is is just one shot which means all the actors can't flub their lines they have to hit their mark and everything or everybody's got to start all over wow yeah and they did the only thing they did in post is eliminate one window in a room one time but it wasn't again it wasn't part of the editing of of you know different multiple cameras and everything else um but beyond that the story is very compelling and and it was i it was just it was very uh thought-provoking but beyond beyond that i don't have any i don't really have much time for anything but true crime documentaries they for me because you and i are always interested in anything in the law right whatever you know and and obviously with true crime it's like okay how do people believe my wife and i had this discussion we've kind of an ongoing discussion based on things we see and watch but you know how is it that somebody could believe they could like get away with murder right um uh or how do they have it in them or do we all have it in this i mean technically we're all capable capable of committing murder but do you you know how what do you have in terms of think about what what it takes or would would take to take another life well that's and those conversations are you know i mean that's that's i mean i i probably especially because of the rage i've had in a golf game where i've said the rage of a serial killer directed at myself in the past yeah and i've learned to control that you ever actually control those type of emotions i don't know but uh i've always looked they go you know and i've won i forgot with the comedian who said it but murder is hard yeah well no i mean if you want to successfully get away with it it's really hard i mean think about it you know you look at at certain things certain murders um there clearly crimes of passion and you can tell when it's a crime of passion uh the oj Simpson murders yeah and the gruesome details will tell you it's a crime of passion the Idaho students that were murdered by brian cobert that's a crime of passion that's somebody who was very angry and it's you know when you get into that mindset it's you know or try and get into that mindset it's like you know we've all been angry at some point but then you take it to another you know another level to me that just seems like it's not even a part of my universe it's i can't even you comprehend being you know one of the things is some of the mob documentaries i've seen where they'll kill somebody and then cut them up to dispose of the body yeah and they enjoy doing it yeah it wasn't like okay in order to make money we need to kill this person and then chop up their body so it's not discovered they enjoyed it yeah how oh there are people that that and then and then you you ask yourself is it insanity is it pure evil can you can you be that evil as to where you enjoy it i think you can look at human history and say yes well the psychopathic tendencies you know are very real but beyond that also um the cartels believe it can also be a learned condition and a few of the cartels actually train young kids young boys to kill right one of them actually encourages them to eat their own victim that was the case of these very young children found 11 12 13 years old in a house inside the united states in texas and they found the victim in the fridge and that's about as gruesome as it can get we know it can be learned behavior we know that it can be pure pressure involved nazi germany tells you that oh yeah and then beyond that drug induced you know i mean we with with both the nazis and with with modern day terrorism we know now that there you know drugs were used to put them in this mindset in this rage in this psychopathic mindset oh yeah you know david bella via who uh got the medal of honor he talked about that in one of his books yeah when he was in felucia right how they knew they were fighting you know they were fighting people they're you know the the enemy was higher than a kite yeah right and they just pump them full of drugs and go go do it yep we are right i radio this morning's usda farm report is brought to you by house products tested trusted guaranteed since 1920 has fireplace

want china to take over canada and if they make the deal that he's looking to make china will take over canada and the first thing they're gonna do is and beer you should have thrown in beer too now i heard most of the bats is now made in rochester okay all right you know they have the the american exporter there so it's uh i don't know whether it's true or not i think it was a little bad blue light somebody told me is made in okay all right but and ice hockey though it's great they're gonna end ice hockey all right don lemon all right did were you this we haven't even talked about this off even in our pre-show meeting yeah but because it required talking about don lemon i don't want to start my day that way anyway go ahead since we're here well it was it's almost as if the left has no idea what the first amendment is about oh i think that's the case yeah that was just it was amazing he's got a first amendment he's on somebody else's property right what do you tell that and we haven't got into you know this specific law which we will following the bottom of the hour but just the generality is the hell you talking about so i can just go up walk in your door and start screaming what i want then turn around and walk out right now what they're trying to say is you know the the left i will say this so the defense i've seen a few conservatives say the defense and the outrage over don lemon on the left is not as great as they thought it was going to be almost as if we don't care about don lemon anymore but there were enough especially on the sunday morning news shows talking about the first amendment right and this is the one of the problems it's like do the people on the left do you have any idea of anything do you have to have knowledge on anything before you debate or is it just pure emotion and whatever you believe the law is is what the law is even if you're completely and totally clueless as to what the law is no i i think it's okay sometimes required to be clueless i i really do otherwise where do you go on a debate if you know what the law is if you know what the constitution is there really is no debate no and and if you read the and you read the actual law yeah you read the law that that came in what 1994 from from from uh from clinton if you read the law it's absolutely obvious it's like it's almost like saying thou shalt not steal well i only borrowed the car right i was gonna bring it back so i didn't steal it i'm shocked the shoplifting to feed my family is a oc right yep you're right yeah so it's hard to concentrate

red i radio live every night on the red i radio app available in the app store red did i radio and he's here carlian i'm gary mac demarie download our red i radio app today you can listen when you choose so i'm reading here bob capano from the new york post poetic justice democrats own law boomerangs don lemon few political stories rival the delicious irony unfolding right now in los angeles that's where federal agents arrested former cnn anchor don lemon charging him with violating the freedom of access to clinic entrances act the offense his role in live streaming and allegedly aiding disruptive anti-ice protesters who stormed city's church in st paul minnesota during sunday worship earlier this month they interrupted the service to target a church pastor they believed uh worked for federal immigration and customs enforcement lemon claim he was just doing journalism uh but the justice department sees at a clear interference with first amendment religious rights exactly what the face act forbids and goes into talking about how the the face act came about in the clinton administration and yes it was initially for because you saw everybody in the left saying this is just for reproductive uh uh health clinics right that's what you saw well it's not i mean they were just listening to what the talking points were uh cornell law school very easy to do your own fact checking on this lays it out here it is here's the part that relates to don lemon okay uh whoever by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction intentionally injures intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure intimidate or interfere with any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the first amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship could that be any clear and it's separate again that's separate from the portion which says the same thing on uh quote reproductive health services so it's the same thing yeah so once you once you lay that out they've got nothing to say on it right now uh if you look at local laws you know you're not going to get anybody charging these people with with you know in many app mini up with st paul with trespassing right you know they're not the local da's aren't going to do anything about that or intimidate whatever local laws or state laws they have in minnesota but i was reading that the department of justice was like if we let this thing go they're going to go into churches we need to arrest somebody because if nothing is done if there is if it's if it's permitted for anybody now in miniapolis to go into a church and nothing happens to you when you do it that was the fear that that would become more widespread across the country from the department of justice which is why they went after this but uh there's not much more else there's not much else to say when you lay it out whoever by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction intentionally injures intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure intimidate or interfere with any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the first amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship now the part of it is the initial thing was if you are obstructing not even on their physical property if you're on a sidewalk obstructing them they went into the church yeah and i've seen clips of some of the things that don lemon has you know said when he was there and i'm like not good not good not good he's trying to claim he was a journalist who was just covering it but he made it clear he knew an operation was going to go happen and he was going to follow them when it happened well and you know it was it it's also becoming this creating of a hero or martyr for the left you know since he was released and you can't have it both ways you're not a hero or a martyr for doing journalism you're a hero or a martyr for being a part of the radical movement yourself actually being a protester which was clear by the clips that he was he wasn't there covering anything first of all it would have to include the idea that don lemon has an interest in journalism and that hasn't ever been the case would you ever think that you could walk in that you could do this is one of the things that we've talked about over the last couple of weeks would you ever think that you could obstruct law enforcement with your car and there wouldn't be consequences to those actions no would you ever think that you could spit at law enforcement and kick the back tail light out of their car and that there would be no circumstances or people concerned about what your motivations or intentions were no i see these clips of people just throwing a tantrum in their car after being pulled over the dash cam from the officer's running and oh yeah records it and they're just throwing there's one guy just is screaming bloody murder he doesn't ever do anything physical other than that but he's just screaming and i'm thinking to myself you're you're not this isn't this this isn't where you work that out if you've got a if you want to issue your grievance go to court take it to court period and leave it at that but but there are people that go far beyond that today they believe again that they are being the hero that it is their obligation to interfere with law enforcement to in the case of don lemon interfere with churches if they believe that there's a connection to ice with that church it is so far beyond i mean we're on another planet level of radical behavior by the left now i know a pastor who used to be dea and i can't imagine you know again somebody and he's in a small town i can't imagine some anti law enforcement opposition protester group barging into his church because he's retired from the dea it's it's so far again so far beyond comprehension for most people because they they themselves now say it on social media the radicals this is not about protest signs you have to get involved you have to you have to get in there and be physically involved they're promoting altercations and there are enough of them that take that up and say that's exactly what we're going to do don lemon thought he was on top of the world that that day going into that church and being the um self-anointed celebrity that he thinks he is that was going to carry the weight for that group that was in that church he still believes he did the right thing there is no they have no regard for the law or other people's rights if those people disagree with them or or on the opposite side or there might be some kind of indirect relation of somebody at that church and ice i mean pick a reason you know i but the the argument i loved over the weekend was well aren't churches open to everyone yeah i'm like okay now you're now you're reaching right and the answer is no no not for disruptive purposes right exactly and he wasn't there to worship i just like it was almost as if if we don't like what you're doing we don't care about your property right if they wanted to stand outside the church and protest without obstructing probably they would have been safe but as soon as they walked in soon as they walked in that's when i go i didn't know they were doing it i'm not going in sorry we'll stay out here interview people afterwards i'm not walking in because at that point i'm blurring the lines big time between i'm talking about how i would look at it because my intent would not be to attempt to intimidate at all i wouldn't be looking at this going oh this is great this is great it's happy let me be a part of it i'd be simply i'd simply be saying what's the story here why are they doing it and what's the response afterwards and then i would actually ask permission can i interview you can i interview you on this right whatever right but when you go in with them at that point that's when that's when the sirens go off in my head if i was a journalist right you know there's no way i did there was no way i'd be following that group it you crossed the line at that point when i uh when i covered the uh abortion protests in the early 90s in Buffalo New York i don't know if you remember them they were huge i mean that was actually ground zero of it and at a abortion clinic i don't know if it's still there on sweet home road and it was interestingly enough i would end up living right down the street from there a couple of years later but i went i wanted to see what was going on i wanted to cover it and there was pro life on one side pro abortion on the other and for the media there was actually they actually had wooden steps and a path that you were on but and you could interview people from that path but they set it up to make sure that the media wasn't a if you wanted you go and you went right through the middle of it it was woe it was pretty intense and this is on a pretty major road and the road was really just shut down you know i don't think they were letting cars through it was a detour uh on it but uh it was uh because the abortion clinic was right there and it was mostly you know you had the pro lifers mostly were on the other side of the road just praying you know it didn't get it never got violent uh the uh the pro abortion people were furious i mean they were living right i mean the uh and but we went i was watching my report i wasn't a reporter i wanted to see what was going on and uh and just be there with my reporter covering it just to be there with her in case anything got a little out of hand she was fine though but uh you know you knew what your role was your role is not to enable it's not to be a part of the protest you're covering it and that's another thing what's a journalist today well again if you're gonna if you're gonna say you know if someone like adan lemon is gonna claim he was there as a journalist you you're not you're not participating which he clearly was you see the videos he's he's participating he was there for a reason and now he's trying to take the glory of a martyr which is another tell that well wait a minute a martyr for just being there covering it nobody's a martyr for covering it you're a martyr because you think you're a martyr because you were participating and you know it we are radio coming up more with gary macdemarra and eric harley it's radio we are on our radio he's her carlian i'm gary macdemarra now i mean i have no idea what a jury will say or whether there'll be plea bargains and the whole don lemon thing yeah you know where this will go whether a judge will throw it out but there is a law that is specific to churches a federal law uh that cannot be denied what how they will view it based on the evidence i don't know what evidence will lemons lawyer give what will the prosecution specifically give what witnesses will they use i guarantee they're going to use witnesses from the church because a witness the people in the church were extremely upset by that and so if you want to convince a jury you bring in people that were worshiping in a church that said we were terrified by what happened when this happened yeah right yeah you know that's uh again you have to put on display the the damage that was done by those actions of the individual that's accused and and we'll see where it goes i mean i don't know what i expect from a judge or jury in this case you know um right now with the political climate it's all over the air we'll see you this is red eye radio on westwood one the dan boncino show damn i missed you all i've got so much content
