Time Text
From starting at the very beginning or at the correct time, but I would say good day.
It's now 12 21, which is kind of our starting time every day.
It is now, uh, this is, uh, this is, uh, Thursday.
Thursday.
My God, it's Thursday.
I can't, I, I, I don't even know about this time.
You know, when, when you're doing this, this, this, this overnight stuff, it's, it's, it's the strangest.
It's the strangest thing.
It's Tuesday.
It's, you know, you don't care about that.
My friends, I don't even know where to begin.
First of all, say a hearty hello on Ohio Silver and welcome to you, my friends.
Are you, are you with me today?
Who there's Bradley god damn it there's Bradley Bradley good day Bradley how are you how's your day going how's everything how's every little thing you son of a bitch how are you who else is there look at that oh Freddy Freddy Freddy Freddy God love Freddy Freddy is ready huh Freddy is ready made his beddy okay ladies and gentlemen enough of this stupidity there we go Who else is with us?

Look at this.
Hector Batts is with us.
This is beauteous.
Allison.
Pocknell, Pocknell, Kurs, Taylor, John Fennell.
Look at this.
God bless you.
God bless you.
All right, first of all, a couple of things.
even know where to where to start uh i'm i'm going to be talking a little bit at some point about not I mentioned this last night, but I don't think people really get it.
It's the end of rational thought regarding this group, this thing called Cracker Barrel.
Now, why is Cracker Barrel important?
very important.
First of all, people aren't going to say, I don't go to Cracker Barrel.
Okay, fine, fine, fine.
Nobody.
It's not about whether you go to Cracker Barrel.
That's not the issue.
How many of you, dear, wonderful people, believe this idea is DEI?
How many people think DEI?
is what's wrong with this world.
How many of you think that DEI, Beijing Yanks in the house, how many of you believe in DEI?.
It's ESG.
What's ESG?
MSG?
No.
ESG.
What's ESG?
Who's the first one to tell us what ESG is?
Class?
Who's the first one?
If you don't understand ESG, we're wasting our time with this.
Who's the first one?
Who's the first one?
ESG, ladies and germs, that's the problem.
Who is it?
Because that's not going anywhere.
See, we could talk about all this DEI stuff all you want with Trump and this.
It's ESG.
ESG.
What is it, my friends?
Well, people are saying DEI because of the people involved in Cracker Barrel.
They're looking at this woman who was the CEO who changed everything.
She is big, that LGBTQ, that kind of woke stuff.
People use this word DEI as kind of like a patella reflex for everything.
What is it?
Equitable, equity, social, and governance.
Correct, pure blood.
Correct.
That is the problem.
So what you're, what people don't understand is you can talk about ES, you can talk about DEI as much as you want but as long as you see there are people on there are people who are in black rock vanguard the people who control the monies the people who will say we will devalue your stock we will destroy your stock unless you commit boom boom boom now in the meanwhile we'll destroy your block your stock anyway if you comply
with this but for those who don't know for the longest time uh this wonderful group this wonderful thing called cracker barrel was this kind of a homespun folksy i got to turn this bullshit.
Boy, you see Kelly, Kellyanne Conway, has she had some work done or what?
She's barely, she's barely recognizable.
She is, I mean, they are, you know, ladies, if we keep, if we keep, how do I say this?
If we keep plastic surgery at this level, we're going to have the most in, how do I say this?
We're going to have the most in, unrecognizable people in the immediate future who are going to be, let me say this, who are going to be people who are so unrecognizable, nobody knows who they are.
That's why they're called unrecognizable.
Anyway, so here's a story.
After years and years of this kind of an innocuous logo regarding this, I don't know, this group of folks, this rather, they decide at the last minute to change it.
And the reason why is because of ESG.
It is not that.
We'll talk about that a little bit.
So anyway, tune in at 5 o'clock for that.
Are you catching the real story.
Are you looking about Tom Alexandrovich, the senior Israeli cybersecurity official who's arrested in Nevada as part of a multi agency sting targeting online sexual predators?
He posts $10,000 in bail, he says, no travel restriction.
Back to Israel he goes.
Back to Israel he goes.
How did that happen?
How?
Are you seeing this?
This is Epstein all over again this is Epstein all over again who was the acting U.S. attorney for Nevada Sigal Chatta an Israeli-born U.S. attorney acting who some say may have greased the skids that Adelson who basically runs Las Vegas Everybody's saying,
but none of the usual suspects say a word of this.
Nothing.
Not Fox, not this one.
Oh, they'll talk about Epstein, but nobody wants about this.
Miriam Adelson, or Adelson, nobody, don't, if this were anybody else, if this were Kent, Jasmine, Crockett, they would be all over this.
The death grip that Israel has, or is that the government has, on news is beyond anything anybody's ever seen.
see that.
Also, we'll talk a little bit about Thank you.
It's like, what is this?
It is phenomenal.
What is this?
Unbelievable.
Also, you know that judge, Frank Caprio?
He was the Providence judge, the America's nicest judge.
Did you see this one?
America's nicest.
The nicest judge.
And he died at 88.
Very nice man.
Probably one of the most corrupt judges because he, not corrupt, but he would dismiss charges based upon, oh, you were a World War II veteran.
I'm going to dismiss the charges.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Did you see this guy?
He's on and he's basically, listen, you will never see me.
If ever I get the big C, God forbid, you're not going to see me.
I may say a couple of times like, well, you know, pray for me if you want, but no.
I mean, listen, I'm not going to dispense with the power of prayer.
I'm not going to do that.
Prayer is a wonderful thing, but I will never do that.
Anyway, he dies very, very sad.
Very, very sad.
We'll talk about that a little bit too.
But he was a good guy.
But he was the worst judge in the world.
He'd have fun.
He'd joke around.
Other people said, what about me?
I'm puzz up, poor smuck.
Are you going to dismiss my case?
Mr Quizling, would you please do me a favor and turn that thing?
I had to turn off my, this is the most incredible person in the show business, I had to turn off that Fox News horse shit.
That's what we call it.
See, we can talk about this.
We're on the YouTube, which is great.
Can't say this on...
This is weird.
You can't say this on radio, but you can say pedophile and murder and rape.
That's no problem.
But not here.
It's...
There we go.
Now, can we kill that bottom?
I just want to kill that bottom.
See, when I see Fox News, there we go.
There we go, I get viscerally sick.
Look at this.
There we go.
And look at Kellyanne Conway.
Look at the work she's had.
Her family doesn't recognize it.
She could rob a bank and nobody knows who she was.
Her husband, George Conway, says, Who are you?
They like blast in her face.
They talk about Jasmine Crockett for this is the most ridiculous thing in the world.
It's the most they waste their time.
There we go.
And I blame you.
I blame these people.
They think this is news.
Like I just mentioned before.
Anybody mentioning the Israeli cybersecurity guy in Las Vegas?
No.
But they're talking about Epstein.
You think there's a double standard here?
I think so.
I think so.
Big time.
There's D7.
Thank you.
You know who I listened to before?
Thank you, DS.
You know who I listened to before?
Who makes more goddamn sense than you can imagine?
Nick Fuentes.
Have you heard him?
He's a...
I mean, he's not spot on about everything else.
He makes so much sense.
Do you feel like the Republican Party is a, yeah.
Where are the deportations?
How are the deportations going?
Did you see yesterday Christy Noam actually says, we're going to paint.
We're going to paint it black.
What is going on here?
Unbelievable.
I talked yesterday to one's a British friend and I talked to a lot of my friends who were kind of in the know.
We're in the know regarding what's going on in, how do I say this?
We're in the know regarding what's going on in the world.
By the way, it's Kellyanne Conway, I swear to God, unrecognizable.
Unrecognizable.
Unrecognizable.
Anyway, I gotta stop.
I wish I could just blackout, put blackout curtains.
We'll have to see these monitors.
Anyhow, we had the impression that when they got back on.
the plane, Starmer turns to Micron or whatever they could.
What the fuck was that about?
No.
Does anyone know what happened?
No.
What happened?
He showed us his hats.
They broke every rule of protocol by having them sit in front of him like students.
I mean, the whole, the whole Monica Crowley thing?
I'll be honest, I kind of like this.
I like the fact the way that for one, somebody is acting.
How do I say this?
Somebody is acting in deference to our president.
But he breaks every.
Everywhere, he does stuff that nobody understands.
Nobody understands what is going on.
So anyway, we got so much stuff to talk about.
We got that.
We got Eric Adams.
Eric Adams, who sounds like he's got a mouthful of mush, this indecipherable candidate, who is actually, The Republicans, I know I'm all over the place.
Please forgive me because my head's going crazy because it's right before this show.
And I apologize ahead of time.
I got nine.
I was up today.
I was like by 10.30.
I'm still going through my stuff.
It takes a lot just to collate, just to say, what am I going to talk about?
What am I going to talk about that they will understand?
What am I going to talk about that's okay for, you know, terrestrial radio?
Because I can't say what I'm talking about here on terrestrial radio.
No way.
No, no, no.
They would not know what to do.
Let's look at some of your comments, by the way.
I like this.
Larry says, Bondi and the rest of the crew are covering for Trump.
It's disgustingusting.
I'm sick of this shit, man.
Here you go.
Think about this.
Talk about Mr. Cancel, Nick Fuentes.
Pipe down Lionel before you get on no fly list.
Electrify the fucking fence.
Don't paint it.
Hey.
Hey, you know that?
That's some pure blood for life.
You know what?
You know what?
Hey, hey.
Here's to you, my friend.
I think you're on to something there.
Christy Noem with that stupid outfit on, that stupid...
I'm great.
Here's my jeans.
You know, it's my jeans.
Am I shapely?
Talk about the fake moon landing.
You're kidding, right?
Ross?
San Rovello?
Are you kidding me?
No.
The mayor's mansion is infested with rats ever since Eric Adams arrived.
Oh!
Eric Adams is goofy.
You New Yorkers better not vote him back in office.
Oh, he's not in office.
going to be Ramdani.
Your arms have no muscle.
I got plenty of protein.
Dredge Emote and add crocodiles at the border.
What is the thing you are wearing on your left wrist?
It's my watch.
Let me see what else I'm talking about.
Dredge Emote, the woman who looks like a cat was gorgeous pre-surgery.
I don't know who that was.
So anyway, right now we're sitting, my friends, in this world.
We're in this, we're in this, I don't know what you want to call it, this kind of a post-world.
And on Fox News, they're talking about Joy Reid.
and this and that and Jasmine Crockett.
We are so, it's not even funny.
Are you happy with your Republican Party?
Are you happy?
Are you happy?
Are you happy with any of this?
Who's happy?
Are you thrilled with JD Vance?
He's a palantir.
He's a Peter Teo clone.
Who's happy?
How many deportations have there been?
How?
What am I supposed to do?
What am I clapping for?
I feel like this whole world is a peanut gallery that they think that the world is gut bucketed and laughing.
You see the Attorney General assistant who was arrested in Newport?
Okay, fine.
I've been talking about this thing forever, by the way.
There's all these little stories.
You see, a lot of people love, they love the beauty, the beauty of B roll.
The beauty of B roll is that it throws you up.
It's like, I don't have to do any heavy lifting.
I play something.
Look, here's a person getting arrested.
Look, here's another fight at Chipotle.
Look, here's a woman getting her bonnet knocked off.
Look, I don't want to just do that.
I want to explain it to you.
I want you to listen to me.
I don't want to play things for you.
I want you to hear what I'm saying.
I know I'm happy.
I'll be happy after midterms.
Midterms for what?
What are we waiting for midterms?
Midterms for what?
Lori Cuck, where the hell have you been?
Tucker had guy talking about 17 today and Vegas.
I'm not happy.
Talking about 17.
Excuse me.
What is 17?
Am I missing something here?
17.
I'm stupid.
Richard Gage would be happy to be your guest.
I love Richard Gage.
I've tried that, but it's still radioactive.
Richard Gage and I are old buddies.
Old buddies.
Did you think anybody gives a damn about what?
Did you think anybody gives a damn?
17 minutes.
Oh, oh, I had a guy on talking about 17 minutes.
What is 17 minutes?
Oh, oh, oh, okay, okay, okay.
Hello, hello.
Well, let me tell you something about 17 minutes.
Listen to what I'm saying.
Focus on what's important now and don't get into anything.
Anything you say that diverts people, stay away from it.
For example, Israel.
The moment you say Israel, you're gone.
You're gone.
I've learned this.
Talk about Israel, but don't talk about Israel.
Talk about whatever you want to talk about, but don't talk about it.
Talk about the essence.
What is it that we're talking about?
What is it that we're talking about?
Oh, I've learned so much, my friends.
I've learned.
I've learned so much.
Ron Johnson is Richard Gage's friend.
Chris, by the way, Chris says, not happy with the party.
It's all bullshit.
Vance, Trump, the whole crew.
Lots won't even vote in next election.
Watching your drink, you probably sip on.
Watch every day.
You're a trip.
Thank you, Chris.
I have coffee.
I drink a lot of coffee.
And coffee is my thing.
Coffee is my thing.
That's it.
That's my drug.
That's it.
And I don't want to go into what I drink because if they want to sponsor me, that's fine.
They don't need my help with that one.
Anyway, where are we going here?
So anyway, I think Tucker, is Tucker doing anything?
No.
The most important person in the world right now?
Laura Loomer.
Is Tucker breaking into the world?
Candace Owens, Tucker.
Laura Loomer, Nick Forenses.
The most exciting people they are.
I'm not saying I'm not saying I'm not saying I'm necessarily thrilled with them or I agree with them.
I don't understand why people say this.
You know, I don't agree with everything they're saying.
Well, no shit.
I don't agree with anybody all the way, do you?
By the way, I need those, I need those, I need two hundred or three hundred likes.
Come on, folks.
I need three hundred likes.
What's the matter with you people?
I'm busting my ass toing all the time.
Half of you, what do I ask?
Lori says, our friends in the UK raising their flags.
Well, let me tell you something, Lori Cuck, dear friend, dear, dear, dear friend.
I was talking to our friends in the UK and they're, I feel so sorry for them.
One arc says the Lumer Forensic.
The Luma Fuerces ticket.
The most two of the most the most exciting people I listen to them.
I'm actually listening to to rumble to hear them.
They play something you probably don't remember this but a while back every now and then in country music there is a band or somebody that comes along to play something legitimate.
One of them was the Mavericks years ago.
The Mavericks played something.
Remember when Rockabilly came out with the Stray Cats and Brian Setzer and all that jazz?
You don't like everything they do.
Even the Ramones came out and they did some stuff which is terrific because it was classic, you know, three chord, four chord, rock and roll.
Okay, fine.
I don't want to hear them all the time, but I appreciate the fact that they represent a very important aspect as to what's going on here.
Laura Loomer is like nobody's business, front and center.
She was doing a deposition regarding on the Bill Maher defamation case.
All of a sudden she says, Yeah, and Lindsey Graham's gay.
I said, What?
Wait a minute, what?
What?
I'm not even asking, what are you talking about?
You guys are gay.
And Marjorie Taylor Greene has roast beef in her pants.
You see that?
Did you hear the story?
You know what I'm thinking about roast beef?
I'm so sick.
I'm so I'm demented.
What I'm saying, she has roast beef in her pants.
How do you know?
And I'm going to leave it at that.
Ladies, I don't want to get I don't want to get I don't want to get too I don't want to get too I don't want to get too I don't want to get too into this stuff, okay?
But did you hear this one?
Be ah, there we go, Ross.
There we go.
There we go, Ross.
Ross said it.
Ross said it.
Yeah.
I'm thinking, how do you how do you know what the hell is going on here?
What is your thing on your wrist, not the wrist with your I don't know.
It's the thing misses Ellen and I wear.
It's nothing big.
The sad thing is their King Charlie could go down as their greatest in history by kicking out all trespassers, but he's gutless.
He doesn't have any jurisdiction.
Come on, there's no pure blood for life.
David Allen Coe was, of course, they'll say he's racist.
David Allen Coe was one of the most important people in country music there was.
That's why Laura Loomer is one of the most exciting.
Candace Owens can't hold a candle to her.
Think about this one.
Nick says, I log on.
The first thing I can hear is she's got roast beef in her pants.
That's what Laura Loomer said.
Laura Loomer is just incredible.
Laura Loomer says she's a whore.
I mean, this is the wildest stuff you've ever heard in your life.
It is absolutely the most exciting.
So the bottom line is simply this.
Are you a Republican?
Nope.
Nope.
I'm not.
I don't know who is.
I don't know how anybody could possibly be a Republican.
What do these people stand for?
What does the president stand for?
No money for Israel.
No money for Ukraine.
You can't be one or the other deport people constantly constant i want to show i want to show we've got 20 million people here ds says thank you lionel now i'm ordering a beef and cheddar there you go my friend listen this is this is laura loomer not me she said this not me i'm not i don't i don't know what the hell is going on with this but she's kind of crazy but i like her I like the fact that she,
and by the way, you talk about she's still, she's very young.
She's suing, I think she's suing Mar because Mar said that face to face, she was tagging Trump and all that, and she said that's not.
not true.
I don't think Trump is a dying the world Republican.
No way.
No way.
I mentioned Judge Caprio Past today praying for his family.
He was a good guy, but one of the worst judges ever.
I'm sorry.
I know you're not supposed to say that.
He was one of the worst judges ever.
Ever.
Nick Fenton says he's a nationalist.
What does that entail?
Who the hell knows?
I'm a nationalist.
I'm a populist.
I'm a nativist.
I don't understand what's going on.
A couple of things here.
First and foremost, let's get simple.
I don't know why we need to have names for what we do.
Okay?
I don't know why.
The moment you give me a name, the moment I get a name, now I gotta live up to the name.
The moment you call Mom Donnie a, the moment you call him a socialist, a Marxist, stop it.
Stop it.
Don't worry about names.
I am an American and that's all I know.
I am an American.
I'm an American citizen and I vote for American values and the American Constitution and American laws and race judicata and that's it.
And I'm telling you right now, listen to what I'm saying.
Whoever, whoever aligns themselves with that, I'm with you.
If it's left, if it's right, I'm with you.
I'm with you.
ESG and Cracker Barrel, this is something we cannot get to right away.
This is Wall Street.
But we have to do something and say something about it.
What the Republicans do is nothing.
They don't do anything.
have memes.
What do we stand for?
What do we stand for?
By the way, Turbo Cancer happened.
He had pancreatic cancer.
He's 88 years old.
Turbo Cancer?
I don't know.
Sustainability accounting standards.
Look at this.
The ESG.
ESG is something which most people aren't even talking about because it's BlackRock.
Did you hear what's happening where we have BlackRock and World Economic Forum?
No.
The problem is that we have to up the level of sophistication, the level of subject matter of people.
They're not paying attention.
Laurie says, classification is a trick that gets us all divided.
Absolutely.
I'm an African American.
I'm a Native American.
I'm an American.
I'm a Native American.
I'm a this American.
I'm a that American.
You're a that American.
We're all enough with this.
Enough with this.
I'm an American citizen.
Are these deported people deported?
Why aren't they?
What are we doing what are you waiting for what is the president waiting for what's on his mind does anybody know does anybody know did you see how gaudy the white house looks you see that stupid that that food court whatever he's got with he he's got taste for i mean it's gaudy Mar-a-Lago,
I mean, well, maybe not Mar-a-Lago, but the whole thing where he lives in New York, Trump Tower, is gaudy as gold.
It looks like a horror house.
house exactly Marcus said looks like a brothel it looks like an old person's home you ever go to your grandmother's house they got all this but you know what that's bringing him in to show him his merch room it was with Monica Crowley sitting there hi how are you who the hell is Monica Crowley you ever seen that before not even the first lady makes no sense The bunny ranch.
I don't know what that means, Ross.
A burst of wind could divide us.
Freddie says, you'd better hire a social credit score adjuster so you can buy a pack of Wrigley's.
So you can buy a pack, I don't know what that means.
Wait until you see the cash register of this presidential library.
Yep, yep.
Can you imagine the Trump presidential library?
You know, you're right about that.
Freddie's right.
What would this thing look like?
Dear God.
So anyway, I'm in a world where I look around and I'm saying, I see things but differently.
I do not understand.
You see, we're not allowing children from Gaza children to have temporary, temporary, temporary, um, not visitation whatever for medical treatment oh we've lost our minds and don't give me this anymore about well you know I can't believe it during World War II how was it that people were so
how was it that they pretended they didn't know what was going on we know what's going on here anyway that's a different story Leave Cracker Barrels alone.
They make a lot of people happy.
Hide the Waffle House quick.
You're right about that.
You're right about that.
Cracker Barrel was always a place.
So anyway, my friends, thank you, thank you so much.
