Intro / Opening

Speaker 1

Hello , good morning , happy Wednesday . Trump gave a speech last night an hour and 45 minutes maybe and it was full of good stuff , good positive progress , report type things . And the Democrats sat there like little children who are not getting their way , pouting with their lip out , arms crossed .

I have a question for them why do they refuse to talk to Donald Trump ? Why not , if you have such great and wonderful ideas , go to Trump , meet with him , talk to him , negotiate with him , tell him about your ideas , try to convince him . Why don't they do that ? Because they have no ideas and they can't do it .

That's why and they just they hate him and they hate America , period . They hate God , they hate goodness , I mean . I mean , you really can't say it any other way .

I'm not going to go off more on this , except to say that , because you're going to hear it all over news today and I want to move on to some other unusual , fun , I guess fun stories , maybe not so fun , different , unusual stories . But listen , as far as the trans cult go , we are not going to win this .

I don't think , because when you have a sitting congressman in Tim McBride who goes by Sarah McBride , he is a man . He sat there in his pink woman's suit last night while he listened to the president talk . Now listen , if we have that in Congress , we're not . We can't go back unless people just vote him out next time . I don't understand how this happened .

People listen . I think it's because people's most people are not affected by this Not yet . But people are not thinking about the future and long-term consequences of this .

So when I get old , or if I have to have an , if I have to go to the , the hospital , or when I get old and can't take care of myself anymore , I do not want a man pretending to be a woman as a nurse to take care of me , because it is a fetish and he will get off on that . No , thank you . No , thank you .

But people are preoccupied with living their lives , making a living for their family , taking care of their family . This probably does not impact the majority of Americans , but it will if we just keep letting it go . And we got here all in the name of love and tolerance . That's how we got here . That's how we got here . And it's the bullying .

You didn't want to be called a bully . Bullying is the new racism . When you spoke out about it . Oh my gosh , you were a bully . They started that crap back in school . Anyway , we're going to move on to another episode . We're going to move on to another episode , another story , because you're going to hear about the other things elsewhere .

Okay , let me go find my stuff here . The first thing I want to talk about is Florida . Man Swallows a $769,000 stolen diamond earrings from Tiffany and Company . Asks cops if he'll be charged for what's in my stomach . I don't know who writes these headlines .

An amateur jewel thief swallowed Tiffany and Company earrings worth $769,000 in a strong-arm heist gone wrong last week . According to Orlando police , jathan Lawrence Gilder , 32 years old , pretended to be a representative for an Orlando Magic player to gain access to pricey jewelry at a Tiffany Company store in Orlando on February 26th .

The accused thief allegedly allegedly . Did he or did he not ? Do you have camera ? Do you have video ? Did he or did he not ? I'm going to say he ran out of the store with two sets of earrings one 4.86 carat set worth $160,000 and another 8.10 carat set worth $609,000, .

According to the local outlet , gilder was stopped by the Orlando Police Department on Interstate 10 and charged with resisting arrest , but they were initially unable to locate the stolen earrings and thus charged him for the theft . But while in jail , gilder spontaneously asked staff if he was going to be charged with what's in my stomach , the arrest report revealed .

Gilder then underwent a body scan where the detectives were able to spot the foreign objects working their way through the digestive tract . And there you have it . Wow , I don't know , whatever . I don't know what's going to become of this . Oh , oh , get this .

Gilder has 48 , four , eight , forty eight outstanding warrants in Colorado and was charged with robbing another Tiffany and Company in Texas in 2022 . Why is he not in prison ? You guys , you guys . I can't with these people . It's just , honestly , really All right . We got to move on to the next story , which let me go find it .

Here we go the Sound of Music turns 60 , but it's hit with movie . Hit movie saved Fox . But drunken star Christopher Plummer hated it . And we're going to talk about people apparently don't like the sound of music . They have some things to say about it . Nobody , you know , you can't have anything nice anymore , you can't . You can't talk about anything nice .

You can't without somebody coming along , a debbie downer , and wanting to poo-poo everything . I swear these people . It might surprise fans to learn that the movie the sound of music , which turned 60 years old on March 2nd , was not one of the critics' favorite things when it hit theaters in 1965 . Well , it is kind of long .

Pauline Kael called the wholesome Australia set musical starring Julie Andrews a sugar-coated lie in a pan review that is said to have gotten her fired from McCall magazine . The New York Times boiled down the film with songs by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein to romantic nonsense and sentiment . What is wrong with that ? Sometimes that's what we need .

That's why we want to go to the movies to escape from our real life . Okay , maybe we want that . What is wrong with that ? Nothing is wrong with that . The Post was kinder , declaring the story indestructibly appealing , but critic Archer Weinstein still had his gripes about how the real Trapp family history was reorganized to musical dimensions .

None of their groans mattered . The flick climbed every mountain the box office , the Academy Awards and the hearts and minds of multiple generations . Yes , the Sound of Music stands among the most popular films ever made , won the Oscar for Best Picture and is the sixth highest grossing movie of all time . With . Sales are adjustable , with inflation , all right .

Getting it to the screen , however , was a struggle Blah , blah , blah . Well , anyway , people are not liking it nowadays for some reason . But that's that and I'm going to move on , I guess , to the question of the day and this we're going to keep it really short . All right .

Question of the day , speaking of entertainment and movies , if you could make or direct a movie or produce a movie today about somebody ? Story , a documentary , what , even fiction , even if fictionalized it , a documentary , even if fictionalized it , what would you write a movie about today ? That's my question . All right , gotta go . Thanks for listening .

Love y'all , bye .
