Speaker 1 (0:03) More news from Washington. Today, Trump Speaker 4 (0:04) announced that he will start sending out $500 refund checks Speaker 1 (0:07) to Americans who claims were overcharged for Obamacare. $500. Americans are like, oh man, that's almost half a tank of gas. Speaker 1 (0:17) Ah, yes, it's all propaganda. It's rarely funny, but it's all Democrat Party propaganda. Everywhere you look, the Democrat Party's got this apparatus built up at the networks and on cable television and at newspapers. It's good to be a Democrat, isn't it? Not spiritually or psychically or intellectually. Speaker 1 (0:42) If you have any interest in being an honest person, a truthful person, maintaining honor and integrity, then the Democrat Party is not the place for you. Speaker 1 (0:53) But a very good and happy Thursday to you, and welcome back once again. And I've got to tell you, last night, yesterday, we were talking about the execution lady in Tennessee. And last night, the news kept shifting and shifting. We were on the air yesterday when we learned that a court had put a halt to the execution. And then the Supreme Court intervened and said, oh, no, Tennessee can carry out this execution. I said, all right, everybody, come on back to work. Put your scrubs back on. We've got an execution to do. And they injected the killer lady who had tortured that woman to death all those years ago with her boyfriend in the woods. And the execution began, and there was a lethal injection. She really wanted an all-female firing squad, which I think is much more suitable for the age of cable television. I think it would have been... good visuals. But they said, no, no, we can't get you a firing squad of all women. We just don't have the time. They didn't really say they just don't have the time. But they said, no, we can't do that. And so they said, we're going to inject you with this lethal stuff. So they injected her, and then she didn't die, and a tear streamed down her face, and she was making faces. And then they said, oh, she's not dead yet, so they gave her another lethal injection. And they said a little while went by, and they're like, gosh, she's not doing too well. Maybe we should take her to the hospital. So they took her to the hospital, and now she's feeling somewhat better. Actually, it's... Speaker 1 (2:20) It's how do you make the death penalty funny? The Democrat Party does. It's that everything is upside down. It's a world turned inside out. And it's because the Democrats every single time. And it's really unclear now whether she died or not. We don't have any authoritative word. Is she fine? And it's one that already reports. So one liberal woman saying, well, now I guess you have to let her go. Now you've got to let her go. She's got to torture and kill another 19-year-old girl out there somewhere. Because they're like, oh, yeah, sure. Well, if that didn't work, then we'd just blow up everything, the entire health care, the legal system, the executions. let her go. Give her a car. Come on, put her on welfare. What's going on with this? It's crazy. So we don't know what's going on. Are they going to do it again now? Because now it's tricky. She's going to get some Democrat lawyers who are going to come in and say, well, now we've got to buy her a house. We've got to put her on the dole. And we're keeping our ear to the ground. We're keeping our eyes peeled for all of this, which sounds very painful, but it's not. It's not very painful. And so we're keeping our eyes peeled, and we're trying to get the latest update on this because the execution, well, it was off again, then it was on again, and then it didn't work, and we botched it. And can't we do anything right anymore, honestly? I mean, how hard is this? We should have just sent her to Chicago, and she'd be dead by now. because, you know, just have her walk down the street with a $10 bill in her hand, and then she'd be killed, and then it'd be the end of it. And then the Democrats wouldn't care about it. Then they'd have no reason to pay any attention to it because it's just another person gunned down in Chicago, you know, and that would be no big deal for everybody, for everybody involved, because they don't really care about human life, let's be honest. Honestly, you just... Send her into Chicago and send her to a gas station, you know, like YBG Bulletproof, gunned down outside a gas station in Chicago. You see this story yesterday? It was everywhere. It was all over the Internet. Al Gore is amazing Internet. Peace be upon him. And there's a rap artist. There's a rap artist. And his name is Bulletproof. And then he was shot to death. And so, naturally, everybody thought it was funny because his name is Bulletproof and he was shot to death. And he's a rapper. YBG Bulletproof reportedly shot and killed outside Chicago gas station. And I went looking for news stories. And it's all over the Internet. Google this. YBG, you know, young, bad, gun, bulletproof. And he's gunned down. And there are pictures of police cars, Chicago police cars and stuff. And then. Upon further review, it looks like the whole story is completely fake. It looks like it's made up. It's perfectly plausible, of course, that a rapper named Bulletproof was gunned down and killed. And again, how do they make murder funny? And killing people funny? They like it so much, they've made it very normal. So that's my YGB, YBG, Bulletproof story. It was one of the funny stories from last night. And, you know, but it's not the only one, because... Honestly, when you heard that they decided the execution was off in Tennessee, and then they said, well, hey, wait a minute, Supreme Court has jumped in, and the Supreme Court, they said that the execution is back on again, so it's off again, on again. And then they, here's the injection. Oh, it didn't work very well. Let's get a second one. Anybody have anything stronger? So they injected the lady a second time, and then... But before you know it, again, it's ridiculous. It really is. It's absurd. And hours after beginning the process of trying to execute Krista Pike, state officials told the Tennessee Supreme Court that she was being taken to a hospital in an ambulance to get medical care. Listen, you guys spent like two hours trying to kill her, and then you look at them and say, oh, she's not looking very well. We should probably tend to her. We should get medical care. We should take her to a hospital. According to a ruling obtained by USA Today, that used to be a newspaper, it was unclear. whether Pike was dead or alive as of 10.45 p.m. Central Time. That's 11.45 p.m. Eastern Time, just before midnight Eastern Time. What was clear is that the execution did not go as planned. Didn't go as planned. You know, how hard is this? This is a lethal injection. Come on. That's extraordinary. We should send her to Chicago, give her 20 bucks to walk down the street. That should take care of it in no time. Or we were talking about this this morning, too. We could send it to Canada because Canada, they're euthanizing people all over the place by the thousands. They euthanize more people in Canada than dogs, and they kill a lot of dogs, you know, euthanized dogs. Why do they hate dogs? Don't worry about that. The number of people is greater. That's pretty amazing stuff. But it's the headline from the New American. Earlier this year, euthanasia claims more humans than dogs in Canada. What? That's extraordinary. The New American, euthanasia claims more humans than dogs in Canada, and Canada euthanizes more humans than dogs. These are headlines. Canada sets new record, killing 16,499 people by euthanasia. And isn't that nice? That's because they're working on that. Speaker 1 (8:00) It's the left. They have lefties up there and in the United Kingdom and all that stuff. And they love to put people to sleep. But they do turn them into soylent green and feed the homeless with it. So it's a nice, protein-rich food product that doesn't taste like much. As Canada approaches its 10-year mark of practicing legalized assisted suicide, MADE, they call it MADE, Medical Assistance in Dying, accelerating your demise. As Canada approaches a 10-year mark practicing legalized assisted suicide, new government reports find the country has hit a new record of euthanasia deaths. And we can't execute one murderer in Tennessee. They do it like it's making a sandwich, you know. Canada's health. They've got a health thing. Health Canada's sixth annual report on medical assistance in dying. MAID, they call it MAID. Hey, the MAID's coming over, honey. And you've only got an hour left to live. So a report reveals a total of 16,499 people
