0:00Yeah, I got an idea you want to do a radio show well That's not as enthusiastic as I'd expect no, no, we're very enthusiastic I just got to turn everything on here. Oh, I have this limp microphone. I've got a oh boy I know for weeks. I've needed to get a screwdriver and tighten this thing You feel like a drink right now. I don't know screwdriver. Yeah, so yeah that I never understood that cocktail screwdriver and orange juice Yeah, vodka or yeah vodka. Yeah, thank you. Still turn in the brain on oh, I get you Okay, war happening all over the place when we left Friday. I thought we were gonna put it into that now It's worse down. Okay, so a rant that's still thing. Well, I'm sure we cleared up all the problems at the airport, right now We're complaining worse than ever deaths worse deaths at the airport in New York City I'm sure nobody misbehaved on an airplane this weekend at least very much misbehavior this weekend At least tell me you know half a dozen people got shot and killed in Chicago
1:04Well, I mean something's got to be some traditions. We've got to hold on to well We'll get to that real soon, but since you brought up Chicago. Oh, it's a lot Sit but since you brought up Chicago before we get to that on Friday We reported on how a young woman was murdered near Loyola University up on the north side of the city there That's Chicago because there's a Loyola in New Orleans too, and there's another one in LA I believe it's called a Loyola Marymount Jesuits they're just this is Chicago Loyola. Yeah, the US Department of Homeland Security announced that they're asking Governor Pritzker in the city of Chicago not to release the criminal illegal alien who they believe murdered this young woman at the college campus They're up on the north side. Here's what's weird. You know how a lot of these Hispanics have Hiphonated last names. I've never seen this before. Mm-hmm. His hyphenated last his name is Jose Medina Medina. Okay, so his mom and dad both had the same last name And rather than just call himself Jose Medina. Well, that would be disrespecting
2:09One of them. I know that's besides the point, but isn't that weird? Maybe he's going for that butro's butro's galley That's what I yeah, right exactly. Yeah, remember his name because they say a twice Shaka Khan Shaka Khan kind of that's all don't do that anyway I so I do wonder if there's a if do people in Chicago get it like what if they do release this illegal immigrant just to spite Trump And didn't they already release him the first before he killed her? Maybe I'm mixing up stories here, but there was somebody in the news Friday that Was was murdered by an illegal illegal illegal alien that they already released from jail Well, here's what we know about this guy He was apprehended by US border patrol and released into the country under the Biden administration in may of 2023 He was then released again in June of 2023 following an arrest for shoplifting in Chicago. They did have him Twice. Yeah, and they just said no Illegal alien doesn't mean he did anything wrong. It's just a phrase we use
3:11So imagine you're the parents of this young woman this loyal university student Sheridan Gorman Do people in Chicago even know about this? Probably not will the media even tell you because to your point there were a lot of murders in Chicago over the weekend It's warming up in case you hadn't noticed We'll get to that soon, but with all that murder happening and all those shootings happening and all that death Do you really even notice if one of them was a you know like a college kid killed by an illegal immigrant in a seemingly nice part of town Just all blends in together with the rest of the Chicago violence. Right. That's the problem to them It's normal. Yeah, I could remember being you know, I'll go home and visit mom once in a while my mom doesn't live in the city She lives out in the the suburbs there obviously and I could remember one weekend There was a lot of murder in Chicago seeing it on the phone on my you know newsfeed And then turning on the local news at my mom's house This is probably two or three years ago. Yeah, and the top story was a hit and run
4:12I was like how what yeah, the top there guys there Is a dozen people that got shot some of them fatally your your top story is that there was a Car accident out in front of a mall in the suspect drove away what That's no, I get I get it you shouldn't do that, but that if they If you if you don't kind of start the tap flowing with that murder stuff It's just gonna be non-stop right just don't bother go in there We're gonna devote some time to what's going on in Chicago later on in the show But obviously the biggest new story in the world right now besides what's happening at the airports I ran says the straight of hormones will be completely closed if If the the American military delivers on Trump's threat the Trump administration is making heavy preparations for Ground troops in Iran According to a report today from CBS news who say that the strategy is to seize Iran's nuclear stockpiles So that's pretty wild and by the way CBS news CBS news radio apparently going out of business after I think
5:20It has something to do with George Soros buying Odyssey, but I could be wrong about that Well, what a shame. Well, what do you need CBS news radio for when you've got the woke news? Yeah, exactly, but so much better Today Monday Monday Monday, what do you mean Monday Won't and Johnson radio network? Have you ever told a real quick story? How dare you? Sir, how many of my stories were needlessly long because someone on the show interrupt to them To ask questions that had nothing to do at the point. I don't remember a time. Yeah, right. Okay, sure Never ever this is a story by the name is Scott or Brad or Mary It doesn't matter because it's anybody listening right now. It's a hypothetical story There's a person out there. They make maybe somewhere between 85 and 150 K a year They've got less than a half a million dollars in savings and They're working real hard right now to make ends meet and it's their job to pay the TSA And meanwhile you got United Airlines you got American Airlines jet blue pick an airline They're multi-billion dollar
6:21International corporations and they don't have to pay for the security of the airport You have to pay for it Steve. I see you looking at your phone there. You're not timing you I'm timing you. Well the story's all gonna be a short story. Well the story's almost done Do you get the point of the story so far? I don't understand why There are these needlessly long lines at the airport And there was a time when you and I weren't expected to subsidize the security of you Why can't the airlines pay for it? No, the taxpayers have to do it. You want you want to know the secret? I can't wait to hear They want them to be long Yeah The people in power want us to suffer Because somebody up there isn't doing what somebody else wants them to do It's all they like it when we the people Have to suffer because of the maneuvering of the politicians Okay, so at the same time Maybe now you people will learn not to vote for somebody like Trump next time
7:24Huh think about it. I've never been to LaGuardia airport I hear it's a complete hell. I hear it's the worst airport Worst in Atlanta. Where's the better? I've been to midway. Yeah, but that pretty much sucked but midway Is like I don't know. I'm not gonna. I don't like midway either But CBS News reports a fatal runway collision at LaGuardia airport Over the weekend where an air candidate expressed CRJ 900 some point from Montreal struck a fire truck And when you look at the footage of was that on the ground or was the fire truck also in the air It sounds like it was on the ground and I mean you ever know now look into this well now that you want to got all this great technology So the plane comes in Lands still running down the runway trying to Decelerate and a fire truck is Out there in the no It just sounds like maybe the fire truck was to blame here. Just just spit mollum
8:25Okay, they're saying the incident stems from a Communication lapse allowing the fire truck Responding to a separate united airlines emergency onto the active runway as the plane taxied at 24 miles per hour 24 miles per hour no foul place is suspected Three people died This is you know in the plane lands and you know and you're like oh we landed and you take your seatbelt off we're safe That's how it happened They say I don't know if having a seatbelt on would have saved these people. I have no idea nobody does But some politicians and commentators are already attempting to tie the LaGuardia runway collision To the ongoing partial dhs funding lapse though it's highly speculative and not supported by any official reports so far It's Trump's fault and ice because now they've decided to send ice in See again both sides are playing games like this Oh, oh you don't you don't want to fund the government fine Who do they hate the most they hate ice sure it's in ice in so let's make a problem a bigger problem
9:31Yeah both sides In the meantime, yes, you already have people Blaming the funding including Republicans although definitely liberals And I just can't help but notice you guys have no proof but that's why this happened They don't need proof. They just get up on TV Say what they say and you're just supposed to fall all over yourself to believe it people that live on the golf coast Which is not all of but many of our listeners are very aware of this Phenomenon of blaming things on stuff that it has nothing to do with because every time we have a hurricane or a tropical storm Someone blames it on billiard had fields for it F-250. Yeah, and he didn't always drive a 250 For the longest is just a 150. Yeah, so did it start getting worse When he bought the bigger truck. I don't know. I bet it did. I like to fly a con remember We don't care about climate change anymore because now we we need AI and for that we need to burn all the fossil fuel we can for the power. So Screw climate change. Let's uh, let's make the price a price of stake too high
10:34I'm not one of those guys who has to fly first class if it's a short flight. I'll fly economy plus I like a little legroom But apparently that's still taking up too much energy The amount of space my legs required. That's not fair. Is it not at all? I know Why do we charge tall people more money to be on the plane? Well, they're trying to charge fat people more money, but it's not going the way they'd hoped I guess everybody just thought well if you're fat Sure, you'll volunteer You'll you'll mention it and just Quickly buy two seats right no for those who haven't been following the news off of southwest airlines Uh Fat people are now required to pay for two seats. They used to just give them the second seat for free And the way they figure out if you need two seats is they just eye you out in the yeah while you're in line There's a person walks by and goes Yeah, two seats are here. It's which seems mean Well, they haven't uh, they haven't actually had training for this job. You know, it's like
11:37Well, I pretty good at spot and fat people. Let me try it. I'll give it a whirl Well, you know, it looks like if you just walk through the airport any given day of the week Most people in this country now need two seats. Yeah, that's it. Right. So the plane will only be half full But it'll sell out once upon a time they had freak shows at the circus and you'd get to see the world's Fatis man and a lady with a beard and the tattooed guy and now that that's just an average day at Walmart now That's true. Yeah, I saw the I saw the like a six hundred pound guy at a a freak show here in Houston when I was a kid And maybe he was a thousand pounds is up six hundred pound guy could probably walk this guy couldn't walk He just laid on a mattress. Yeah inside of a viewing room and he's like you you walked up the stairs and instead of the front of the The mobile home Taking the wall out and put a glass panel in so you walked up the little you know three four flight Three four steps up to the viewing platform
12:40Stared at the world's Fatis man and Side of a mobile home And then walked off with the with a dollar less than you got there with amazing. Oh, but I still remember it Well, there is there he was fat.
