Speaker 2 (0:03) Ah, yes, their hatred of the United States Constitution. You know, they're the Democrat Party. They're not what they used to be. Not even close. It's a terrible, horrible thing. Very good and happy Friday to you, and welcome back once again. There's a lot of technical issues in the radio business, as it turns out. And they don't always go as smoothly as we might hope. But now we're here and we're live and all is well. And there's a lot of madness going on in the world that I look forward to sharing with you today. Because lots of madness. I love Jill Biden. You see the Jill Biden story? This is great. Jill Biden says that it's possible the big debate where Joe Biden, her beloved husband, didn't do well. That's a generous understatement. Listen to this. They said that the doctors hadn't ruled out a stroke. It could have been a stroke. for one thing, or he might have been drugged, could have been drugged, which wouldn't be surprising at all. Might explain everything. Might explain four years, as a matter of fact. When did they start drugging Joe Biden? We should ask not a Dr. Jill Biden, because this is good. But listen to this. Jill Biden entertains the possibility Joe was drugged before debate, asked point blank if doctors had ruled out a stroke, had doctors ruled out a stroke. And you remember the Democrats, they lied to that means the media, too. They lied to all of us about this, said, no, there's nothing to see here. There is no problem with Joe Biden. And he did just great in the debate. They told us he did great. And now his own wife is saying, oh, he might have been on drugs. The doctors thought maybe it had a stroke. So they had that going for him. But it was all a secret until not a doctor, Jill Biden, came out and said it in an interview because they're always interviewing each other, you know. And, oh, oops, the truth accidentally. leaked out, which they really didn't want. And this is important, actually, because they kept it a secret all this time that even Dr. Jill Biden, not a doctor, thought maybe the doctor said maybe a stroke. And she was thinking, is he on drugs? Because his brain, she's no good. That brain of his, she's not working. And everybody knew it. We all knew it. But never mind that. So we've got that for you, an update for you on that. Also, this is good. Stacey is right on the Twitter with her headline, In 2020, the Democrat platform was short and sweet. Just hate Trump. Just hate Trump in 2020. That's all it was, just hate Donald Trump. And if you hate Donald Trump enough, then you'll be very popular with the Democrat Party because hate is their middle name. They really hate everybody and everything. They don't like people. And they're the left. They massacred tens of millions of people and more than 100 million people the left has in my grandfather's lifetime, certainly. And 2020, the Democrat platform was short and sweet. Just hate Trump. Fast forward to 2026 and look how much it has grown. Now it's hate white people. Got to hate all white people because Democrats are racist. So he's had been hate free markets. Now they're very anti-capitalist, and you can't go around saying that you're a capitalist or anything. Hate private property because they've got to seize private property and take it from everybody. Hate anyone who succeeds. That's true. Anyone with great success must be punished because, you know, they don't want success. They need failure. They need losers, an army of losers. They're the left. Hate free speech. That's part of the Democrat thing now, too. Hate police. Hate the police. Sure. You've got to hate the police. You've got to hate free speech. You have to hate prisons because prisons, you know, it's where we lock up criminals and things. You've got to hate prisons. Hate the idea of not sexualizing kids. Hate America itself. That's Stacey is right, laying out. I think you forgot the Jews. You forgot Israel and the Jews got to hate Israel and the Jews because they represent civilization on the end of, you know, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome country. The Democrats are on the side of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. And Stacey says, and somehow they still find room for their, you know, and the original classic hate Trump. It's pathological. You still have to hate Trump in addition to hating all these other groups. of people and things. And it's true, the Democrat Party, I've been saying this for a long time, they're a hate cult. They hate, really in the end, what they hate is humanity. They hate human beings, all human beings, because they're not bowing to them. You must bow to the left. But we've got that, and that's... That's kind of fun by Stacey on the right. Stacey is right, and that's fun stuff. And one of their heroes these days, Abdul El-Sayed. Abdul El-Sayed. They really want radicals. The more radical you can be. They run Osama bin Laden for the Senate at this point. Hey, wait, they are running Osama bin Laden for the Senate. Abdul El-Sayed says people who voted for Trump three times are now voting for him. This is what they just lie. They're pathological liars. And if you give them an opportunity to speak, then you give them an opportunity to lie. And Abdul Al-Sayed is a genocidal jihadi, anti-American, anti-capitalist, perfectly mainstream Democrat. And Abdul Al-Sayed, on with one of his fluffers on MS-13 now, and, you know, former White House press secretary, because it's all, you know, the whole media universe is a safety net for failed Democrats. But wait till you hear this, because the guy, he wants to get money out of, they always say they want to get money out of politics, and then they demand that they out. raise their opponents in terms of funds because really what they want is money and power, and they're criminals mostly. But what do you hear Abdul El-Sayed? He said, yeah, oh yeah, people that voted for Trump three times, now they're voting for me because I'm a communist jihadi. This is just a disinformation campaign by a psychotic killer who, I'm not sure if he's killed anybody yet, but give him time. And I wouldn't rule out anything in the past either. But we got Abdul El-Sayed. People who voted for Trump three times are now voting for him. That's what he said. And Jen Psaki, I believe it is there, says, and that's because you really want to give me health care. You really want to give me health care. You want to give me free stuff. It'll all be free and it'll be better than ever. Isn't that great? Also, there is a fun story. You know how Democrats love transgender men playing in women's sports and stealing everything and cheating? Because Democrats are just cheaters by nature. And if you want to cheat in women's sports, where will you not cheat? You know, what will you not cheat at if you say, oh, we're going to have men go up against the women? in sporting competitions in high school and in college and not so much in professional sports. You know, two men who played in the NBA have come out and said that they're women now and they want to play in the WNBA. And the WNBA, they're just plotting to firebomb their garages, I think. They're saying no in a most potent way. But there is a... Sports columnists. You know, in the sports journalism world, they have sports columnists. And there's a guy at the Seattle Times. Well, he used to be at the Seattle Times. His name is Matt Kalkins. Matt Kalkins. Long time, but, you know, sports writers generally are loved by their readers. And Matt Kalkins, no exception, Seattle Times. And he announced yesterday that he's resigning from the Seattle Times. because he wrote an article about women who support women in women's sports and don't support men dressed as women in women's sports. And he wrote an article about women that support women. And they said, well,
