When Reality Meets Film: The Carlos Gascon Controversy

We're also watching on the Food Network the Tournament of Champions , and it's on from 7 to 9 , and typically throughout the week I'm in bed asleep by 7.30 . Yes , I know , but anyway , I understand why Mondays are like blah . All right , you're not . I'm not telling you anything new that decades and decades and decades now that people have already known .

But that's my , that's my , that's my thing . Now , I just repeat things that people already know . Let's see , the Oscars were last night . I did not watch them . I have not watched the Oscars in forever .

The only thing I'm going to tell you about , though , is this actor named Carlos Gascon , who likes to parade around as a woman and was nominated for Best Actress in the Women's Category . Now , this Carlos Gascon likes to go by the name of , oh , carla Sofia Gascon . He's one of these men , like I said , that has a fetish .

He prances his fetish out in public and I wrote about him on my blog at carolremarkscom last week maybe . So I'm just going to read a little bit from you . My blog gets absolutely no love whatsoever . I wish people would read it and comment on it . Anyway , and here we go . No Oscar for a man competing in the women best actress category .

Did Hollywood just now discover the internet ? It sure seems like it . The man who nominated the man I'm sorry , the man who was nominated in the best actress category , because reality is optional these days just lost before he even had a chance to win . The reason Mean tweets , that's right .

So the first openly transgender Oscar nominee for Best Actress , carla Sofia Gascon , spoke out after being criticized for past controversial social media posts . The Academy Award contender who starred in Amelia Perez you've got to go read about that movie . I cannot believe that this movie was even a thing .

It's about a drug cartel , the boss of a drug cartel , a man who wants to become a woman and go live his life as a woman , and this lawyer is assigned to him to make this happen . Oh my gosh , it's stupid . I haven't watched it , but it just sounds stupid . And it was nominated All right anyway .

Has been in hot water for the past week after numerous old tweets emerged criticizing a variety of groups from the New York Post . Hollywood will believe anything except reality . They bent over backwards to nominate a man in the best actress category , but suddenly old tweets are where they draw the line .

The same industry that preaches follow the science now tells us chromosomes don't matter . But a few offensive posts from years ago . That's unforgivable . This , carlos Sofia Gascon , is a man , chromosomes and all . I'll call him by his birth name carlos . That's a man . So it goes on . So let me tell you what is amelia perez , here we go .

Here's the description of the movie you ready . A mexican lawyer is offered an unusual job to help a notorious cartel boss retire and transition into a living as a woman , fulfilling a long-held desire . That is really really yes . Are people actually watching this nonsense on purpose ?

And Hollywood isn't just tolerating it , they're showering it with awards like it's some kind of cinematic masterpiece . If this is what counts as prestige now , we might as well start handing out Oscars at drag brunches . Heaven help us all . But anyway , he got his nomination stripped away from him because of the mean tweets . What did he write about ?

Well , here we go . Well , well , looks like Hollywood's finally facing the music for nominating a man in the female category for best actress . I think a bunch of these women got together and were pissed off , even though on the outside , in front of the camera , they're like oh yeah , you know , men are women , blah , blah , blah .

But behind closed doors , you know , they're pissed off . I think that's what happened . Turns out , they've suddenly discovered a treasure trove of old ex-posts where Carlos was busy disparaging a certain religion and dropping hot takes on their newly martyrized King , george Floyd . So he wrote . Let me just read what the Reuters reported .

The genre-bending musical crime drama Emilia Perez looked like the streaming service's stronger shot yet at Best Picture after winning the jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival and garnering a total of 13 academy award nominations .

But prospects for the movie dimmed after a journalist found a translated and translated a series of spanish language posts dating from 2016 to 2020 . In them , the film's a spanish star , sofia Gascon . Carlos described Islam as a hotbed of infection for humanity and George Floyd as a drug addict swindler . Social media amplified the story to global proportions .

Well , he's not wrong . I guess he's from Spain and he said he was very upset in his home country of Spain . He looks around and there's just Muslims everywhere . So , and then he talked about George Floyd . You know , blah , blah , blah . He's not wrong , he's not wrong . But there you go . There's your Oscar update .

Okay , we're going to move on to another story . Let me go find it over here . Oh gosh , where did it go ? All right , I found it . It's about New York City , of course . Meet the five worst subway offenders in New York City , with 590 career busts between them , wanted , dangerous people . Why are they out on the street ?

When I read some of these to you , it's amazing why they're still out there . I don't know what has happened to our criminal justice system . Um , they are the big apple's worst transit terrors , and this is written by joe marino and jorge fitzgibbon . All right , I'll try to get through it real quick . Um , the five were subway career criminals .

In the five boroughs have whopping 590 bus between them let's scroll down and let's just get to it right off the bat and a lot of these are felonies . So , um , let me go down here . Among them , the criminal picked up . Okay , sorry , all right , here's one davis , a reputed member of the latin kings , now at rikers island .

So he's caught on three thousand dollar bail was stopped because the bail should be more than that was stopped when cops spotted him between cars . Okay , blah , blah , blah , jorge . This other guy , Molina , said 36 , has 128 arrests under his belt . 128 , 128 arrests . What in the hell is going on ? I don't understand that . I is that something normal ?

60 for felony offenses yes , you heard that . 60 for felony offenses , including 52 burglary busts . Melina is now behind bars 7 500 bail correction . Oh good , deport his ass , because you know he's here illegally . Also arrested was kennedy mitchell , a career offender with 100 . See , these people should have been arrested . What , what was it ?

Three strikes , you're out . Wasn't that a bill clinton thing , or was that something else ? Well , am I recollecting something else completely ? Was that supposed to be about something else ? Uh , also arrested was kennedy mitchell , a career offender with 116 arrests , mostly for lesser crimes . Mitchell , the youngest of the five , at 28 , is at rikers .

Well , good , uh , get him out of here , because I think all of these people are more than likely illegal . Come on , they have to be . Two other , william watts and pablo colin , remain free without bail , despite a string of prior arrests . So two of these five are still out on the streets and the other three will probably be free soon .

Watts 57 has 114 arrests prior , including three for robbery and two for assault . These people need to go either to prison or back to their country of origin . All right , that's all I've got . We've got to do the question of the day . Okay , tell me about a state that you would like to go visit . In what particular about that state ?

Why do you want to go visit it ? Tell me , that's the question of the day . I'm not sure what I would . I want to go see Mount Rushmore . That's in the what ? North Dakota , south Dakota , I can't remember which one , but I want to go see Mount Rushmore . It's on my bucket list . So there you go . All right , I got to go . Love y'all .

Thanks for listening .
