Speaker 1 (0:02) If you've never met a Planned Parenthood baby, I'm happy to let you know that I am one. Ah, yes. AOC is a Planned Parenthood baby. That means she's just in our imagination. She doesn't actually exist. She was never born. Because she's a Planned Parenthood baby. That's not like being a Flintstones kid. That's very different. Well, very happy Friday to you, and welcome back. We are at 888-630-9625. I've got to tell you, I was out last night. My brother, one of my brothers, came into town from Chicago, drove in yesterday from Chicago, cannonball run. about 10 hours, about a 10-hour drive. And he arrived, and I've got to say, after a long drive, he wanted a cold beer. I'll just go ahead and say it. And so that happened. And I didn't do all my normal prep work last night because my brother came in from Chicago. I'm making excuses now. Speaker 1 (1:08) And I don't want to say it's open line Friday. You know, Rush Limbaugh's trademark Friday habit of having open line Friday good stuff. But I didn't do all my prep work last night that I would normally do. It's true. And I even slept in a little bit today. I'm making excuses now. Nothing like that. But a very good morning to you and welcome back. I'll stop making excuses now and just get going here. I'm very excited. I'm standing by. for the Lindsay Clancy jury. You know, that's going on in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where she murdered her three children and all that. And interestingly, before we woke up this morning, the jury went to the jailhouse and they dragged Lindsay Clancy out of her cell and they hanged her. That was, nobody saw that coming. That was a surprise. It turns out the one hung juror didn't participate. But all right, I just made that up. That didn't actually happen. Speaker 1 (2:05) But isn't that amazing? They're coming back. What is it? Day seven now, I think, for the jury, which is and the reports are that there's one juror that's a holdout. Otherwise, they'd be they'd be moving right along. But the news media very, very hung up on this trial. It's the big trial. It's the big thing. The judge is back in the courtroom, and the whole gang, the jury, is supposed to be back at it just a few minutes ago, 9 a.m. Eastern Time, to decide the fate, the fate of the baby killer, Lindsay Clancy. And if they let her go, I mean, really, here's the question for you. If, let's say she walked out of the courtroom today and she became the O.J. Simpson of women, and the lawyer guy, he became the Johnny Cochran. Speaker 1 (2:54) of the 21st century. Do you think the Democrats would run her for office? I think they probably would. I think the Democrats say that they found her appealing in the courtroom and they want to put her in Congress or in the governor's mansion or something. The Democrats just love all the wrong people, don't they? They do. And Lindsey Clancy, I don't know a lot about her, I've got to say. I haven't heard her say much. I guarantee you she's got like a Kamala Harris bumper sticker on her Prius. I'd bet a dollar on that now. It's funny how if I were covering this, if I were out there and covering this, I'd have stuff like that. You know, show me her car. I want to see her car. Tell me about her. See if there are any stickers in her front window at home because that's kind of a big deal. We've got that going. And in Missouri, the state of Missouri, it's the show me state. Speaker 1 (3:46) They've got a state Supreme Court there, and the state Supreme Court has jumped in to slap down the Republicans, redistricting, gerrymandering of the state. And the Democrats, they always like to take it to court. They love corrupt judges. The more corrupt, the more they like the judge. The Democrat Party is a corrupt institution, and they really love dishonest people. They put them in Congress. They put them in black robes. They put them in positions of authority wherever they can. And amazing stuff. In fact, I'll bet there is a Democrat holding up this jury. And the defense attorney yesterday, he was trying to make some, create some confusion as to, oh, there is only one holdout in the jury, and that person refuses to accept the definition of, what is it, reasonable doubt, reasonable doubt. Speaker 1 (4:40) And so that's what the holdup is allegedly over. But that's from the defense attorney, who might be Johnny Cochran and might not be. And we'll see. I don't think Lindsey Clancy is going to walk away like O.J. Simpson did. But, well, of course, she can't walk away, can she? She's in a wheelchair because she threw herself out a window in her failed suicide attempt. Slashed her wrist, then threw herself out a window when crashing down. from a high elevation and paralyzed herself from the waist down. She's really nothing. That was a really, really bad day for her. Worse for her kids, I will admit. But bad day, bad day all the way around. So that's going on and on. And you've really got a three-day weekend coming up because of Labor Day and everything. There's a federal holiday, federal holiday on Monday. So I don't know if the jury doesn't... Speaker 1 (5:31) And I guess what are they going to do? They're going to be a hung jury, right, Michael? I mean, they're Cleavon Little all over the place, aren't they? It's remarkable. And it looks like it's going to go that way. And the one juror is not going to suddenly change their juror mind and make sense out of all it. So it looks like it's going to be a hung jury. And if the judge tells them, no, you've got to come back another day, I guess they get Monday off, right? I'm not sure. But they probably wouldn't be back until Tuesday. That's a programming issue. Speaker 1 (6:00) You know, the networks are going to have to have a say in that, I think. They said you was hung. And they was right. See, that's right. And that could be the outcome here. The great Cleavon Little, the great Blazing Saddles, and Mel Brooks. Man, Mel Brooks, how great. But we've got a lot of news for you because there's a lot going on. And, yeah, Missouri, the Supreme Court striking down the Republican, the redrawn map in... Speaker 1 (6:30) in Missouri because the Democrats, they want to have all the seats. They want to control everything in the Statehouse and the Governor's Mansion and the House of Representatives and the Senate, which they want to do away with. They want to do away with the Senate. And Democrats are nuts. Oh, yeah, also, speaking of which, they're having in Chicago, Illinois, they're having their, what is it, the communist gathering, Michael? They've got a big convention going on in Chicago starting this weekend. because they hate the Jews. And so they're like, you know, Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber, alle's gathering in Chicago. Pretty amazing stuff. Amazing stuff. I got a time just looking at something in front of me, the Jew tax. They got, wonder the Democrat Party is so anti-Semitic. It's pretty amazing. But they've got a socialism conference taking place. Speaker 1 (7:22) beginning this weekend in Chicago. It's the Socialism Conference. That's what they're calling it. September 4th, that's today, to September 7th, and it's a holiday weekend. Why would they do it on a holiday weekend? And I went to their website, the socialismconference.org. It's always .org. We are living through the reshaping of the world, says the headline for the socialists there. They're living through the reshaping. of the world. You can register here. This September, the Socialism 2026 Conference will bring together activists, organizers, isn't that the same thing? Communities from across the country. They love that word, communities. And around the world. They've got them around the world like that. So the four-day conference featuring over 100 participatory discussions, lectures, and workshops. They always have workshops. Speaker 1 (8:19) And socialism is the place for both seasoned radicals and new activists to sharpen analysis, hone strategy, and build community. There's that word community again. So they've got a plan at the Socialism Conference in Chicago. And if you go to their agenda, here it is. Number one, get a load of this. Number one. Confronting Zionism. Oh, I see. That's a subtitle there is Targeting Jews. Targeting the Jews. That's really the first thing they've got to take on is the Jews. Uden, as they call them. The Uden. Confronting Zionism. That's number one.
