Speaker 2 (0:00) you Speaker 2 (0:03) During a rally last week in Texas, President Trump said that Democratic Senate candidate James Tallarico is a vegan and claimed that after Tallarico eats meat, he, quote, goes behind the tent and he throws up. Wait, is that what you think a vegan is? Speaker 2 (0:20) Do you think when you order a vegan burrito, they give you a steak burrito and a barf bag? Speaker 5 (0:28) That's it. Honestly, that's as good as it gets. They'd be doing better with Eddie Slovic jokes, I think. Don't you think, Eddie Slovic jokes? Given that now Major Nadal Hassan, mass-murdering jihadi, is going to be put to death by firing squad. Speaker 5 (0:47) I wonder where anyone got that idea. Huh. How did that come up? Speaker 5 (0:54) I think I know. I blame, what, you know, Christina Pike. I blame that Pike woman. Speaker 5 (1:06) Quite amazing. These people. Can I just say these people? What is the matter with these people? A very happy Tuesday to you, and welcome back once again. Beautiful day in our nation's capital. The sun is out. So are the crazy people, but that happens when the sun comes, huh? In Washington, D.C., the crazy are always out. Speaker 5 (1:34) That's right. Yesterday, last night, we learned, I learned last night, it was early last night, that President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth have green-lighted, they've given the green light, to Major Nadal Hassan, Major Nadal Hassan, a mass-murdering jihadi who attacked and murdered a great many people at Fort Hood in Texas. And he was sentenced to death long ago. Of course, the Democrats want to date him. So they have slowed it down and dragged it through the courts. And they, hey, how can we stop this mass-murdering jihadi targeting our troops from getting the ultimate punishment? And these people, he was a psychiatrist. I guess he still is a psychiatrist, Major Nadal Hassan. He is Major Nadal Malik Hassan, as a matter of fact. And in 2009, he attacked American soldiers. He was an Army psychiatrist in an Army uniform most days. And in 2009, he decided to attack our forces at Fort Hood in Texas. Speaker 5 (2:45) It's an amazing story. He murdered 13 people. However, one of them was a pregnant woman that he murdered. So he really murdered 14 people. And, you know, if you're a member of Western civilization. And he wounded 32 others, 32 others. He's a savage terrorist, a jihadi. He was yelling, Allah is indeed quite great. Allah, their God, is better than our God. And comes after everybody else's God. Therefore, he gets the last word in God's. And this one wants to murder everybody, like Rose from Satan's pit in hell. But never mind that. And Major Nidal Hassan, he committed this horrible terrorist act in Texas. And you may remember that Barack Hussein Obama, who is not exactly on our side, he said that it was workplace violence. Isn't that what he called it, workplace violence? Because Obama... is pretty much on the side of the jihadis and not on our side. That's workplace violence. And, yeah, he's like a postal worker, you know. And notice postal workers haven't done anything bad in decades, and the book on them is still bad. And Barack Obama referring to it as workplace violence was a big deal with sane people, but not with Democrats, who said, well, sure, it was at work, and it was violence. So the Democrats, their brains don't work as brains were designed to work the vast majority of the time. It's a terrible and sad thing. But the President of the United States, Donald John Trump, and the Secretary of War, it's the Department of War now, and again, and Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump yesterday said, not only are we going ahead with the execution of Major Nadal Hassan, a radical Islamic jihadi psychiatrist, if that makes any sense, but it's going to have to in this case. And isn't that amazing? And you may remember also that he was Major in Adal Hasan. I talked about this on the radio then. He was moving to the front of the line when Joe Biden was elected, and Joe Biden and the Biden administration put a freeze. on all federal executions. So, among others, Major Nidal Hassan got a reprieve from the Democrats because they love death more than we love life. They are the Western jihad. These people are, they're not civilization. They're something other than civilization. And with more of them, there is more crime, more murder, more gangs, more jihad, more bad stuff. And they're okay with that because it makes them feel enriched or something like that. They love all that. So that is a big story of Major Nidal Hazan. A firing squad. And, again, how would a firing squad make its way to the discussion? What happened there? Well, interestingly enough, you may remember this. You know, what's her name? Christina Pike, who they were going to execute in Tennessee last week. She had reportedly asked for a firing squad to execute her. She wanted an all-female firing squad, which is sexist, and that's misandry of the first order. Misandry, a very infrequently used word. Misandry, it's prejudice against men as opposed to misogyny, prejudice against women, abuse, misuse of women and all that stuff. And so we got that going. You know, they tried the lethal injection on her, and it didn't work so well. And that's another reason to not put him to death by lethal injection, because, you know, Ms. Pike, who was scheduled to be executed for her horrible torture murder that she committed all those years ago, and then the Democrats slowed it down and slowed it down, and then they say, oh, it's been so long, you can't execute her now, because the Democrats made it take 30 years. And then, literally 30 years. And then when you get to that mark, they say, oh, it's been so long, we can't carry out the execution anymore. They're really on the side of, who are they on the side of, Michael? Oh, yeah, Satan. Satan, I think, is the only, if you're just looking for one. Pretty amazing stuff. So Major Nadal Hassan now facing the firing squad. It's on the table because of this Christina Pike woman who was supposed to be executed by lethal injection. She said that would be too painful. Nobody ever thought that was true. And then the first instance of lethal injection becoming very painful, it was just for her, for Pike. And the discussion of having a firing squad and an all-female firing squad, which was sexy, don't you think? Kind of a sexy thing. All-female firing squad. That would be on the cover of Guns and Ammo, I think, wouldn't it? It depends on how they were attired. I don't want to be sexist about it, you know, get back to misandry and all of that stuff. Amazing stuff. And misogyny. But Major Nidal is on. And I hope this is on cable. Do you think it will be on cable, Michael? I don't think. I think it would be inappropriate to be on pay-per-view. That would be in poor taste. So let's just have it on cable for free. That's me, though. I'm trying to cut back on my cable spending. So that would be good. That would be a lot of fun. And finally, the people that... survivors and and honestly he wounded 32 people and they've been waiting decades 2009 and Barack Hussein Obama was in the White House isn't that amazing and the Democrats they got their lawyers and stuff to slow it down and drag their feet and He murdered 14 people when you include the baby in the womb of the pregnant woman that he gunned down and murdered, which Democrats don't have a problem with half of that, at least, with at least half of that. So we've got that going. Also, and since I mentioned her, I don't mean to laugh, but it's difficult, you know, because everything's funny, almost, almost everything. But isn't that amazing? And now we've got this. Christina Pike, you know, Pike, she, the murder who was supposed to be executed and the lethal injection didn't work inexplicably. Well, now they're saying, and it's an almost funny headline, I guess, and that is that she may never recover. She may never recover. They gave her these two injections of lethal stuff that didn't kill her. And then she, it's like Monty Python again. It's like, you know, he's dead, bring out your dead, you know, bring out your dead. And he's like, I'm not dead, I feel fine. I think that's where we're back to Monty Python because the Democrats, everything they do turns into a satire of just absolutely crazy stuff. I got to tell you, these people, can I just say, these people, nuts, nut jobs. And Christina Pike, yeah, may never recover. She may never recover, which is that okay that if she were to never recover? She was being put to death. You know, you're not supposed to resuscitate her. Oh, no,
