Tucker Carlson vs Dan Crenshaw

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
On the news alert just now beingreported. We have no details. West
Philadelphia, forty eighth Street, GirardAvenue. If you are at all familiar
with Philadelphia, there was a Ramadanevent in that area and there has been
a shooting reported and multiple people arereported as shot. We don't know the

(00:25):
extent of injuries. We don't knowthe number of victims. We don't know
how many shooters there were. Weknow nothing about arrests. This is literally
happening as we speak. If wecan get you more information, we are
certainly going to do that. Ramadan, of course, is an Islamic holiday,
for lack of a better term,it's an observance about the same time

(00:49):
as you know. Obviously we hada holy week for Christianity, passover for
Judaism in the last couple of weeks. This is Ramadan, which there's a
lot of fasting that goes on.No idea about any of the details.
All we know is multiple people areshot in Philadelphia. This was reported at

(01:10):
a Ramadan event. We don't knowif it was related to that or not.
We don't know if it was targetedor not. But we are just
telling you that we know about this. It came across the newsroom what Matt,
like two minutes before we went onthe air, I'd say, that's
about right. Yeah yeah. Sowell, when we learn more, we'll
get you more. You just Idon't I don't know, man, I

(01:38):
don't know. It's one of thosethings, man, you just I'd rather
sit here and talk about nothing thanhave to talk about shootings, especially shootings
that just make no sense, nodifference. I remember that day that the
Super Bowl praying, Remember when thathappened. Yeah, we talked about that

(01:59):
all day. Yep. I meanjust ruins my day having to talk about
stuff like this. Now, ifyou're a news person, I mean there's
some you know, adrenaline you getwhen you cover news like this. That's
not how I feel. Maybe thatmakes me not a great journalist. I
don't know. But especially considering thatthere could be a religious tie to this,

(02:25):
even if it's not Christianity, doesn'tthis open the door to have those
kind of conversations like okay, sowho would do this? Just hate to
have to talk about this, hateit. But when we learn more.
I have no idea how long it'sgoing to take for us to get more
details on this, but this literallyjust came across the newsroom just a few
minutes ago. So if you're justtuning in, there is a shooting reported

(02:49):
in Philadelphia, the West side ofPhiladelphia. They Fox News is the only
place I'm seeing. They say it'sa Ramadan event. Trying to find more
information out on this. We don'tknow how many people are shot. We
don't know the extent of their injuries, we don't know how many shooters.
We have no arrests at least thatwe've heard about yet police responding to that.
Like as we speak, I'm notseeing anything else. On the New

(03:14):
York Post, there's a statement heremade numerous arrests and at least four guns
were recovered, okay from the scene. All right, so that's information I
did not have, Thank you.That makes you think that this definitely was
planned, right, I mean,I don't want to speculate. Well,
right, And that's the problem isthis is all so fast and soon.

(03:37):
This is an article that is justa couple of minutes old, and it's
an article based off of another tweet. So we've got a tweet, We
got all that in mine. Okay, all right, Well I'm gonna stop
talking about it for now because well, we need to get more details before
we start throwing stuff down. ButPhiladelphia's Fox twenty nine, just to Philadelphia's
Fox twenty nine, their reporter,Steve Keeley is the one who tweeted that,

(04:00):
Okay, so that's a journalist.It's a journalist who tweeted that.
Okay, multiple arrests made, numerousarrests is what is the word that he
used in his tweet. Numerous arrestsand at least four guns were recovered.
Wow, Okay, Well, weare going to keep you posted on that

(04:21):
as time goes on here in thetwo o'clock hour and throughout the afternoon.
This is one good thing about beingon the afternoon for four hours because certainly,
as time goes on, we're goingto have the opportunity to get more
information as it comes, and we'lllet you know what we know what's happening
in Philadelphia and what's being reported asa Ramadan event in West Philadelphia. Multiple

(04:46):
arrests made, four guns recovered byPhiladelphia police, and that's about the extent
of what we know right now.We will let you know more. We
are going to get back to whatI wanted to talk about at the top,
and that is Dan Craig Shaw,Congressman from Texas. Remember he's the
one with the ipatch. He goesafter Tucker Carlson of all people on X,

(05:11):
and I'll explain why and maybe getyour opinion on this. This pretty
interesting stuff. You don't see thiskind of infighting amongst Republicans all the time,
but man, it's becoming more andmore and more prevalent. We'll get
to that next on news Radio eleventen kfab. Emrie's songer on news Radio
eleven ten kfab. This also happenedearlier this morning on X. You find

(05:39):
a lot on X. Social mediais kind of an interesting thing, and
I I for one, I'm abig fan of being able to see what
people are thinking. I respect people'sprivacy if they don't want to share what
they're thinking thinking about different things,but it's kind of nice to see people

(06:04):
just with their own accounts say whatis on their mind about a variety of
topics. It kind of removes themiddleman, if you will. Well.
Tucker Carlson, who obviously his entireplatform is on X these days, he
did an interview and it was withmonth or Isaac who's I'm not one hundred

(06:36):
percent sure exactly how to like,how to describe month or Isaac, but
his social media account says father,husband, Palestinian, Christian, theologian,
evangelical, Lutheran pastor in Bethlehem,academic, dean of that Bible College,

(07:02):
lead christ at the checkpoint. That'sthat's what he did, an interview Bethelhem.
Obviously, in Israel, we knowwhat's going on in Israel. We
know all the things that are happeningin Israel. So this is what's interesting
about this. It's a forty fiveminute interview. I watched some of it.
I was basically I was led tothis by the Crenshaw comments. But

(07:26):
the idea basically is does Israel treatChristians poorly? Like if you are a
Christian, are you as in dangerin Israel as say somebody of Islamic faith
right now? And it's just it'squite interesting that Tucker would go here because

(07:51):
remember not too long ago, justa few weeks ago, he had gone
to Moscow and he had talked withVladimir Putin and he talked about how Russia
is misunderstood and there are a lotof things that we don't quite understand,
and a lot of people started tosay stuff like, you know, he's
really just a well, like,why is he going out of his way

(08:16):
to prop Russia up to the Republicanright? Why are more and more people
on the right thinking that Vladimir Putinis some kind of sympathetic figure here controversial?
Well, Dan Crenshaw says, enoughis enough with this are Christians treated

(08:37):
poorly in Israel? Conversation? AndI am this is all a quote.
This is one hundred percent quote fromDan Crenshaw. He didn't make a video.
I would love to hear him sayingthis, but he just wrote this
out on his ex account. Again, Dan Crenshaw, a staunch Republican from
the state of Texas. If you'reunfamiliar with like you're familiar with the name

(08:58):
and that not sure. He lookslike he's got to be. He's got
the ipatch, Dan Crenshaw, andyou're wondering, all, is he a
Rhino or is this guy like actuallya Republican? And I was able to
pull up his voting record and howhe stacks up with the ideologies to say
Donald Trump and his career. He'snot been in technically in Congress all that

(09:22):
long, got there after the electionof twenty eighteen. So he spent a
couple of years with Trump as thepresident, in a couple of years now
with Biden is the president. Buthis general score about ninety percent. He

(09:43):
has agreed with the stances of DonaldTrump of the information that we have now.
Whether or not he's what some outsiderswould call maga, I think is
a little bit up for intern pretation, but ninety percent voting record in favor
of the same things that Donald Trumpwas in favor of when they were both

(10:07):
in office at the same time.And this is what Dan Crenshaw had to
say about Tucker Carlson, and Iquote, this is who Tucker is.
A click chaser. Tucker's mo issimple, defend America's enemies and attack America's
allies. There isn't an objective boneleft in that washed up news host's body.

(10:33):
Mindless contrarianism is his guiding principle,buttressed by his childish tactic to just
ask questions. He put in thesarcastic up and down lowercase uppercase with quotes.
This has been more Crenshaw here,But any educated adult, especially one

(10:56):
with such a long career in journalism, should occasionally try answering some of those
questions objectively, but he never does. Instead, he uses his platform to
so doubt and paranoia and false narratives. He does this for one simple reason
clicks in engagement, which of coursetranslate to monetary benefit. He wants you

(11:22):
to believe he is the last placeyou can go for the truth, that
he's the only one brave enough toreveal the elitist lies being told. This
nonsense about Christian mistreatment in Israel isjust the latest example Tucker will eventually fade
into nothingness because his veneer of fauxintellectualism is quickly falling apart and revealing who

(11:48):
he truly is, a cowardly,know nothing elitist who is full of blank
I don't want to say that wordbecause I don't want to get fined by
the SEC. But that's Dan Crenshaw. Now, Matt, you have berated
me to a certain extent face toface. How would you grade this be
rating from Dan Crenshaw to Tucker Carlson. I don't know if I I mean,

(12:13):
that's pretty good berating that was prettygood. That was pretty good.
Now again, the which side you'reon is kind of the next question,
right or do you feel like TuckerCarlson, I mean freedom of the press,
right, he can say whatever hewants. The thing that I'm happy

(12:35):
about is that we all know whatTucker's expression was while he read it.
What was that The expression the justkind of like, yeah, the I
can't do it, but I knoweverybody knows what I'm thinking, right,
And he just kind of like he'sgot that far away stare and he he
makes his eyes a little bit smallerand he's just he's thinking, Well,

(12:58):
it'll be interesting to see what theresponse is. Because Dan Crenshaw, for
the most part is I think,look, if you're talking about a guy
who is kind of a representation ofwhere the Republican Party is trying to go,
He's kind of that guy. He'skind of the guy that is he's

(13:22):
he's got the veteran status, youknow, of serving our country. He's
quite young comparatively to a lot ofhis contemporaries in Congress. He can laugh
at himself with the SNL stuff withPete Davidson was you know, a highlight
certainly for people who even disagree withhis politics. They applauded him when he

(13:48):
went on there to help make funof himself a little bit with Pete Davidson
after Pete kind of offensively went afterhim for having the eye patch. But
at the end of the day,I sit here and I'm just kind of
I'm interested in why the Republican Partyis kind of getting meddled up with a
lot of this stuff and not justletting Tucker be Tucker. And I think

(14:09):
that's kind of our fault because wethink he specifically kind of holds a certain
amount of weight that maybe regular journalistswouldn't have, and what he's saying,
for some reason, is objectively truthwhen he really is in the business of

(14:31):
I mean, whether or not youwant to believe it's the truth. Tucker
does have to run a business.It is about the clicks for him.
It is about the conversation for him, and I don't mind anything that he
does. I think as a memberof the press, I think it's important
to protect that freedom of the press. At the same time, it is

(14:52):
kind of interesting when you start talkingabout things that are riling up just the
wrong crowd, and that includes peoplethat you would figure should be ally at
least within the political realm. Sowhat do you think about this? Which
side are you on Pro Tucker AntiTucker's Tucker Carlson. Is he okay with
everything that he is saying and thequestions that he is asking? Is it

(15:13):
okay to ask you Christians are mistreatedin Israel in the current climate over there,
or are you on team Dan Crenshawhere and say, hey, enough
with the false narratives, enough withtrying to make stories out of nothing for
clickbait. This is too dangerous atime in our nation and in our world
to be stirring the pot like this, especially in an election year. You

(15:35):
can call us with your thoughts onit at four h two five five eight
eleven ten. Four oh two fivefive eight eleven ten. It's news Radio
eleven ten kfab em Resung on newsradio eleven ten KFAB in Philadelphia that we're
trying to monitor. And the latestnumbers or the latest information that we had

(15:56):
is it was a Ramadan event onthe West side of Philadelphia. It was
the four guns and multiple arrests weremade. We don't know names, we
don't know victim number. We justknow multiple people were shot. Is there
any additional information that we're seeing rightnow? Matt Well, I'm seeing a
couple new things this is from CNN. Additionally, police do not believe it

(16:19):
was an active shooter, but ratheran exchange of gunfire between two groups on
the street. Oh, that's that'snew here from CNN. Two victims were
rushed by police to Penn Presbyterian MedicalCenter with gunshot wounds, and one of
them is considered a possible suspect.The hospital reported to police that three other

(16:42):
gunshot victims showed up there, accordingto the official Okay, now, that
makes it sound like it could begang violence, now, Aramadan, of
that was happening there, we don'tknow like if the people that were there

(17:03):
were the active shooters, or ifthere were people that were trying to shoot
them, or this just kind ofhappened in the same spot that that was
happening. We don't know any ofthat, right right, Okay. I
hope is that we can learn someof that by the time we get off
the air today. But that's whatwe know to this point. Thank you,
Matt for the update. Okay,So, a couple of other things

(17:30):
that we were talking about as wewere talking specifically about this Dankrinshaw and Tucker
Carlson thing, and if you missthat last half hour Tucker Carlson did his
most recent episode on X talking aboutare Christians being treated poorly in Israel right
now? And talk to a reverendwho is in Bethlehem, and then Dan

(17:56):
Crenshaws said, this is a loadof maloney. For lack of a better
term, Tucker Carlson's a click chaser. He isn't fair or objective. He
literally is just trying to use paranoia, doubt, and false narratives to try
to get people to watch and followhim. It's pretty interesting. Well,

(18:22):
I've asked what you think about it? You can call in at four h
two five five eight eleven ten.Four h two five five eight eleven ten.
Brian's on our phone line. Brian, thanks so much for the call
today. What do you think aboutWell, Tucker's just looking for a safe
way to sell Russia's position on Israel. Russia had Hamas visit before the October

(18:45):
seventh attack on Putin's birthday, andthe Hamas officials went there immediately afterward and
the feud with U and Tucker's doingit in a safe way by saying,
oh, well, he's carrying aboutthe Christians there being attack and not caring
about the Cowlestinians. He sees thathe's a safe way to go that way,

(19:07):
and he also called Crenshaw I patchMcCain for his voting for a to
Ukraine. Yeah, okay, yeah, So, Brian, I guess my
next question, because for those whoare just listening for the first time,
Brian frequent caller. We enjoy talkingto Brian. He brings a very different
perspective to our show. I guessI just have to ask from that perspective

(19:32):
here, is there a good guyor a bad guy in this back and
forth yere between Crenshaw in Carlson Inyour eyes? Well, sure, I
see Dan Crenshaw as the good guyand Tucker Carlson as the bad guy.
Like I see Vladimir Krutin as thebad guy and Lensky as the good guy.
Okay, So I guess the nextnatural question that I'd have to ask

(19:56):
to you at this point is U, do you think Tucker Carlson is doing
this for clicks or do you thinkthat there's a deeper meeting behind kind of
the agenda he's utilizing. Oh,there's definitely a deeper meaning. I mean,
there are very few in the conservativemovement who are ready to come out
full blown for Russia and especially againstIsrael. John B. Wells on his

(20:22):
caravan to Midnight, which chairs ona Lincoln station, he goes all out
talking about the Kazarian mafia and allkinds of crazy stuff. So yeah,
I'd say those are the bad guys. All right, Well, Brian,
last thing for you here while you'reon and we're talking about it somewhat unrelated,
but what do you think about theway that our current administration has been

(20:45):
handling the Israel situation? Well,you know, a lot of it's framed
is being done for politics, butI think you could also look at it
as trying to do the right thing. I mean, having unconditional support for
Israel. Now I sided with Israeland I sided against the Palestinians myself.
You got to ask yourself just howfar could it be taken before you might

(21:10):
say, well, maybe they're goingtoo far and I should say something when
war crimes are being committed, wouldyou object to go to the point of
finding a final solution to the Palestinianproblem? I wonder about that. Well,
I guess we're gonna find out whathappens. As the pressure is on

(21:30):
from a lot of different people onthe left saying that they don't approve of
the way that the president is currentlyhandling that. Brian, appreciate your calling
as always. Sure, thank you. Yeah. So I'm one man.

(21:51):
I have my own thoughts and opinions. My opinion on this is not necessarily
one thing or I have to respectwhat Tucker Carlson does for his career.
I have to respect that. Youhave to think about it from a perspective,
especially if you're just on social mediaor if you're on television. It
is a ratings business. Now,the business that we're in, I mean,

(22:15):
it's not not a ratings business,just a little bit different, you
know. I feel like we havea little bit more of a responsibility to
the find folks of Omaha and beyondto look at things through very different lenses,
try to give as much information inangles as possible while also talking about

(22:37):
how we feel. And that's whyI love talking to you, because you
can call in at four h two, five, five, eight eleven ten
anytime and talk about what we're talkingabout. When you're in the business that
Tucker Carlson is in, you certainlywant to get clicks, You certainly want
to be able to drive ad revenues, but basically specifically on the amount of
volume that you get. I mean, Tucker Carlson, for all his faults,

(22:59):
if you're as to what he's doing, He's got almost thirteen million followers
on x That's a pretty large number. Dan Krenscha, on the other hand,
one point two million. It's stilla big number, but it's certainly
nothing like you know, some ofthe people I follow, you know,
like musicians or athletes, people thatI find funny. You know, they're

(23:30):
in the tens of thousands, ormaybe hundreds of thousands in some cases.
These people have a lot of pollthey have an awful lot of influence in
the world. But Tucker has neverHe's not an elected official, he's not
trying to be an elected official,at least not yet. He is in
the media. His whole thing ispresenting angles from his perspective on what's going

(23:53):
on in the world. And Ithink that's fair game. But that leads
you into a situation where you couldbe called out by people even on the
same side as you. Even ifhe has used derogatory language to describe Dan
Crenshaw in the past, even thoughDan Crenshaw is a staunch Republican and has

(24:14):
voted ninety percent of the time withthe stance that Donald Trump has had and
is no friend of the left.But there is a growing amount of people
who I think are saying, weneed our news and the people who have
this influence to be more honest ortruthful and aren't and shouldn't be spinning our

(24:38):
information in ways that are going tocreate more issues for the health and the
well being of our society, andfalse narratives certainly can do that. You're
seeing what it is right now.You have people thinking that there's all sorts
of stuff going on in the worldright now that they're seeing on social media,

(24:59):
but they don't know what to trtrust in what they can't trust,
and that's a dangerous place to be. And that's just something that you know,
as we trudge on in this cruelworld that we live in, that's
what we got to be. Atleast I try to be a little bit
skeptical of the things that I hear, because you just can't trust everything.
And as far as Tucker Carlson isconcerned, you don't even need to trust

(25:22):
him. It's about the information thathe's providing and you get to make the
decision whether it's the truth or not. He's going to tell you that,
you know, asking the questions isthe important thing. But it's all about
what he's talking about that makes peoplewant to click on it, listen to
it. Give him the numbers heneeds so he can make a good living,
and he certainly does. If youhave thoughts on Tucker Carlson, or
you have thoughts on Dan Crenshaw Tuckgoing after Tucker Carlson today, you can

(25:47):
call us at four h two,five five, eight eleven ten or email
Emory atkfab dot com. It's newsRadio eleven ten KFAB. Emory Songer on
news Radio eleven ten KFAB My pleasure. I just want to throw a couple
of thoughts out, specifically Dan Crenshawnand mister Carlson. Okay, people,
people from Palestine can go into Israeltoday, so we kind of lose track

(26:11):
war's war, but they can actuallygo in today through the front door.
But it really wouldn't be safe forIsraelis to go out into Palestine. I
think that that's true, and itkind of needs to be looked at in
some context because it doesn't give uscuts at all the other part about commentary
and news. We don't necessarily havenews anymore. I'm a general electric retiree,
and I think we can. Wecan. We can thank Jack Wells

(26:33):
for that when it required NBC Newsto start making money. They couldn't lose
money. They had to figure outa way to make money and conflict sells.
So at that point we saw ablending of news and commentary and that's
really all we have today. Sowith that, I'll just drop off and
listen. All right, Dave,appreciate the thoughts today. Thank you for
calling in. Yeah, I sorryto disagree with that on that front.

(26:59):
And then again and over in Israel. Yeah, you know, Palestinians typically
you would figure could come into Israel. I don't know about right now though.
I don't know what the what thesociety over there is like right now.
I don't know what the safety situationwould be. Civilians certainly you would
think would be welcome, but it'shard to tell. John's are falling four

(27:22):
to five, five, eight,eleven to ten. John, thanks for
the call today. What are youthinking about? Hey, it's good to
talk to you again. I liketo mix it up with you a little
bit here. But my thing aboutTalker Couson and talk radio and all the
rest of the shows that go outthere, it's not about what. It
is about what the person is saying, how they're saying it, and what.

(27:45):
But you have to understand, youjust said Talker Cosson read thirteen million
people and all the stuff that talkingcasts A lot of the stuff that he
is saying over the years. Iused to lift him on falk phone.
He was on that before he gotkicked off. This. The thing is,
when you think about the rhetoric,it's about who you, who you,

(28:06):
who you're listening to, who's listeningto you, and how you are
ratifying those people. And that's whyyou have so many people running around today
talking about Dad no news that Iwatch, ABC, CBS, NBC,
and that is news. But it'slike, what are you looking for?
What are you listening for? Butwhen you look at someone like you and
this show talk about the liberals,the this and how they're taking the world

(28:30):
away from you and all that,you can you convert people. Man,
that stuff is very serious. Whenyou say man, I don't say it.
I just listen to people who dosay it. I you know,
I'm hearing you, John, andI appreciate it. I'm running out of
time, though I was always appreciateyou calling him man. Yeah, uh
yeah. If you got thoughts onTucker Carlston, you got thoughts on journalism

(28:52):
in general, if you got thoughtson you know, visceral hatred within the
same political party like the Republicans seemto have right now. Collins four two,
five, five, eight, eleventen Emerys sung on news radio eleven
ten kfab Is there anything that else, Matt, that you're seeing on this
right at this moment? Seeing thesame thing, just seeing reports of the

(29:14):
amount of people that were there thatyou know, went running and ducked for
cover, and you're talking about upwardsof a dozen to twenty or thirty children
came running into a gentleman's meat marketstore, you know, after they heard
shots fired. So it just soundedlike a pretty chaotic moment in a chaotic
scene. But everything you said thereis kind of the latest of what I'm

(29:36):
seeing as well. Uh huh,yeah, this is this is something else.
I'm You're trying to figure out this, this whole thing out. This
is certainly not a great neighborhood forviolence. It doesn't appear, and there's
several stories about this area in recentmonths having issues. But we'll give you
more information as we know more,as more comes out. This happened basically

(30:00):
right before we went on at twoo'clock, so we'll keep you a posted
on that as time goes on.What we talked about in the first hour
was Tucker Carlson did a show whichwas specifically about He did it with a
reverend, a Christian reverend in Bethlehemin Israel, and the conversation was about

(30:26):
Christians being mistreated potentially in Israel rightnow by Jewish people. And Dan Crenshaw,
a guy who ninety percent of thetime agrees with Donald Trump. Again,
I'm not sure anybody would call himmaga or whatever the left would call

(30:47):
people like this, but he wentright after Tucker Carlson and says he's all
about click chasing. He creates doubtand paranoia and far false narratives to get
people to follow him and talk abouthim being, you know, this beacon
of truth. It's pretty interesting.More kind of infighting amongst people who we
would consider conservatives or Republicans. Wantyour thoughts on it. Four o two,

(31:10):
five to five at eleven ten isthe number. Four oh two,
five to five at eleven ten isthe number. And Rob is on the
line right now. Rob, thanksfor calling in. What do you think
about this? Hey, let's takemy fall. Hey. You know,
I thought along that Donald Trump wasgoing to put Tommy Harris in the White
House, that Betty Not has togo in that favor. And we can
thank Latim mc putin for playing theRepublican attorney Donald Trump and people like Tucker

(31:37):
Carlson. He just played them toan absolute Violin, played them to a
t. That's what they wanted tobegin with, and that what are you
going to get for this coming election? So what you're saying, Rob,
is that uh Russia is kind ofusing tools within our media, maybe specifically
like Tucker Carlson, as ways toyou know, kind of get their agenda

(31:59):
out here to us here in theWest. Oh, yes, there's no
thank you. Yeah, there's absolutelyno question. You want to lecture interference.
We've seen it in spades over thelast year, and Vladimir Putin is
winning. He's winning in Ukraine becauseof it, and he's winning in America

(32:20):
because of it. About one thingVladimir Putin is a very smart person.
Not get in his position without beingsmart. That doesn't make him a good
person. And it has really botheredme over the last year to see my
publican friends basically bow down to thereligion of Vladimir Putin. It has been
very frustrating and you know, weshould be ashamed of it. Ronald Reagan

(32:43):
would be absolutely turning in his graveright now. So Rob, you you
know a lot of Republicans that youtalked to regularly that are now kind of
sympathizing with what Russia is doing.Oh, we see it all kinds of
media when we see it on thisshow, the callers on the show,
we see it in the national politics. Yes, there aren't too many that

(33:04):
are coming out as an official,peer physical political response and saying that except
possibly, you know, Chucker Carlow, that interview we did in Russia was
an absolute travesty. That was notjournalism. You're a caller earlier talked about
journalism is dead. Yes, itis very much dead. And we can
use that example, and there's manyexamples. Playing the buck and listens in

(33:27):
fun every day now. They talkedabout Easter with the transvestite thing and how
the Biden came on, and youknow it's not when you when you see
that dishonesty among your friends, it'sreally hard to to not, you know,
have some epticism about their motives.Getting back to the Easter thing,

(33:51):
that transient. They have six celebrationsand things celebrate. They just hopped the
tournament through this year. Well,it's not part. They said that Biden
came out and made a transit dayon Easter. No, that's that's not
true. I don't agree with it. A lot of people don't agree with
it. But you can't just havethat just honesty time and time again in

(34:12):
the media and expect people to trustyour party or your political persuasion just because
you call yourself. Well, well, I'll say this, Rob, for
whatever it's worth, we I didcome on the next day and tell people
that it was stupid because that dayjust happened to fall on Easter this time
around. So well, I tryto tell the truth. But I can't

(34:37):
speak for anyone else. But Iappreciate the passion, Rob, really appreciate
you calling in today, and Ido want to want to say one more
thing on the conversation yesterday. Ithink you're being a little bit too easy
on yourself on that drop ball thatwas on Sports Center. You know,
people do remember that stuff, andI just think bibility for that. Oh

(35:00):
Rob, you're killing me man,now now I'm never going to fall asleep
tonight. Way to go, thankyou, Oh Rob, what a what
a funny guy. Uh Okay,So we're taking calls. We got more
calls coming in here about Tucker Carlsonand journalism on the right and Russia,

(35:22):
because that's kind of what the connectoris apparently now, even though he was
talking about Christians potentially being mistreated inIsrael, I'll talk about this and take
your calls. Four h two fivefive eight to eleven ten is the number.
Four h two five five eight toeleven ten. Your thoughts next on
These Radio eleven ten Kfab and Ray'ssonger on News Radio eleven ten Kfab.

(35:43):
Crinshaw from the Top Rope came outof nowhere and just said, Hey,
Tucker's going for clicks. His falsenarratives are damaging to society and he's just
trying to get clicks. Don't trusthim, essentially was the message. And
Uh, I'm asking you what youthink about all this because I think it's
important Tucker Carlson wields quite a bitof power, a lot of influence.

(36:05):
We're talking about a guy who's gotover twelve million, almost thirteen million followers
on x alone. Well, WellLines, You're open at four two five,
five eight eleven ten. Four htwo five five eight to eleven ten.
Chris is on the line. Chris, thanks for the call. What
do you think about this? Well, Emory, I will say this,
I've watched Tucker Carlson a lot,and what I my impression of him is

(36:29):
he's a realist. And I doyou hear them talk about the one to
end the war in Israel and Jimas, but you don't ever hear them talking
about ending the war in Ukraine andRussia. You know, they just they
just keep wanting to keep wanting itto keep going. And what Tucker Carlson

(36:50):
has said in all of that iswhat is the end run in this?
There is no end run in this. Whereas the Israel and Hamas roar,
there is a definite in run,and that's the destruction of Moss. Once
a moss is gone, then Israelis going to go back home and then
they're going to work on that Palestinianstate or whatever they can do for those

(37:12):
people. But right now, anybodythat thinks that the Russia and Ukrainian War
is anything but a money laundering event, is that they just want to keep
going. I think isn't looking atit in the right way because and I

(37:34):
think that's what Tucker is trying toput out there now. As far as
Dan Crenshaw, I like Dan Crenshaw, I always have. I liked listening
to him talk. But I questionedhim too. You know, I used
to work with a person that hadone eye and he had a glass eye
on the other side, and youcouldn't even tell this guy had anything going
on. Why does Dan Crenshaw alwayswalk around with a patch? You know?

(37:59):
Is that him? He's just wantedto say, hey, look at
me. You know he's talking aboutTucker Carlson getting clicks. What kind of
clicks does he want to get?Well? I don't know, Chris.
I mean, there's this Why whydo some guys decide that they, you
know, want to dye their hairor go beer, shave their head or
something. I don't know. Maybehe just likes the look makes him stand

(38:20):
out. I mean, right,that's exactly right. He likes the look
because he knows that he gets attentionfrom it. And that's fine. I'm
okay with that. I'm okay withthat. But he it's like throwing stones
at a glass house. You know, he's not perfect either. And I'm
not saying Tucker Carlson's perfect, right, But Tucker has looked at it and
he has said, what's the endrun with this war over in Ukraine and

(38:45):
Russia. The end run is theUnited States going broke. Yeah, I
mean that's plausible. I mean,I think Vladimir Putin's got a kind of
a different idea of what the endrun might be. But as far as
we're concerned, yeah, that's possible. Okay, let me ask you that.
Okay, let me do you reallythink, I mean, really think
about this a minute. You heartime and time again. Oh, if

(39:07):
Russia to get Ukraine, they're justgonna keep marching. Yeah, they're gonna
march into Poland, and they're gonnamarch into Sweden. No, they're not
that that'll be the end of it, that'll be the end of the world.
Then well, Chris, I guessI guess my question would be,
what if I came to you overtwo years ago and said, you know,
do you think that Russia is actuallygoing to actively invade another country?

(39:30):
And I think most of us wouldsay no, Like nobody's actively invaded another
country for like fifty years, solike why would they would they have to
gain? And then there they were, They rolled right in. There's a
lot of other underlying things that weprobably all don't know about, and one
of them is probably the destruction ofthat pipeline. You know, I trum

(39:50):
Trump wasn't going to open that pipelineup and then they opened it up in
there is some rumors out there andsome evidence to say that Ukraine had something
to do with that, and Russiamaya looked at that was like the first
stripe. Sure, Okay, wellwell, Chris, I don't want to
want to debate, you know,why Russia invaded Ukraine. I really just
want to talk about Tucker and Igot more calls, but I appreciate your
thoughts today, dude. Yeah,let's go to Dan. Dan's on our

(40:13):
phone line four two five five eightto eleven ten. Dan, you're Wealth
Simmery on news radio eleven ten kfabYeah, two major themes. I want
to first to thank you for whatyou for doing. I appreciate the diversity
of the calls. You're letting alot of people talk about a lot of
different things, and I really respectthat. Thanks. But this narrative that
Pete Putin is the bad guy,Putin's is evil, more mongrel we had.
Our memories are so short. We'velost history in our country. When

(40:36):
Putin was put into power, hewas celebrated. He was he was the
good guys. He was taking overthis regime from the Soviets that was so
negative that it created so much conflictthe Cold War in essence, and Putin
was the guy that was going towrite the ship and he was going to
make Russia stable and a commerce wasgoing to flow, trade was going to
increase, Wars we're going to decrease, and we celebrated him because at the

(40:58):
time it fit the narrative. Andwhat Tucker's doing right now is trying to
go back on that narrative and look, as a Monday morning quarterback, if
you will, to look back andsee what's the narrative fitting when the media
fed it to us in the seventiesand the eighties and then the nineties,
and now is that narrative still tobe questions, and I think a lot
of people's eyes are getting opened wideat what he's doing, going and talking

(41:19):
to people who the mainstream media orthe corporate media won't talk to. And
I applaud him at another take onthe Crenshaw thing. Former military here,
So I served with a lot ofpeople who were under the Trump regime.
I got out in two thousand beforenine to eleven, and a lot of
the people that I served with stillstayed in and had a great deal of
things to say about the different presidentsand how they handled them, the budget,

(41:43):
the actions they could do, andspecifically with Crenshaw. I never served
with him. I can't say Iever spent time with him, but I
know people that have, and peopletalk very very highly of So I want
to give credence to what he says. But in the same breath, he's
part of that war mongering regime thatjust wants we want the funnel conflict.
So does that make any sense toyou? Yeah, it does, no,

(42:06):
Dan, and I appreciate your thoughtson it. I think that there
certainly could be an angle to that. Obviously, he was more talking about
the Christian the idea of Christians beingpersecuted in Israel in this specific back and
forth. But but I think thereis room for both guys to have their
their say in what's going on,and I think that that's important that we

(42:29):
respect that too, even if Ithink it is kind of interesting that these
two guys would have been lumped togetherby more people on the left. The
left would have seen these two guysas more similar than than dissimilar, And
here they are, you know,going after each other, or at least
Crenshaw's going after Carlson. We haven'theard Carlson rebuttal at this point. But
Dan, I appreciate your thoughts today, and thank you for your service to
this country. Thank you. Let'sgo to Joe. Joe's on the phone

(42:52):
line four two five five eight eleventen. Joe, thanks for being on
the show. What do you got, hey, Henry? Yeah, I
like Tucker both and and Crenshaw.I think they're both pretty good guys.
I've listened to them both and likewhat they say. But you know,
my real concern isn't what they're sayingand or putin and what the Russians are

(43:14):
doing. I'm more concerned about ourown FBI and CIA. I just hear
last night that the FBI has beencooking the books on the crime report to
make it look good. We lookat that make it look better than it
is, and we know that theyhid information, you know that what could
have affected the last election. Sothey're they're obviously messing with with our own

(43:38):
for one candidate and against another.I mean, okay, Putin's Putin.
The Russians are the Russians. They'vebeen They've been the same since I was
a little kid during the Cold Warday and so but they're over there.
I'm more concerned about what's happening righthere and now the vote today over the

(43:59):
fives and stuff. Yeah, courtswere abused to try to take down Trump,
you know, right, Like Isay, I'd rather deal with those
two agencies and then then worry aboutRussia. All right, Well that makes
sense, Joe. You know,sometimes you want to sweep your own doorstep

(44:20):
before you sweep on other people's.And uh, I think that's a totally
fair thing to be talking about hereas well. Appreciate you calling in.
You know. The one thing too, the guy that talked about Crenshaw's glass
eye that that kind of made melaugh. Yeah, I mean what do
you know? I don't know,all right, Joe, appreciate the call.
Yep, you two. We'll getto more calls if you want to

(44:40):
call, and you can four twofive five eight eleven ten four h two
five five eight eleven ten More onthe way. With that, I'll also
give you an update on what weknow because a police chief has spoke in
Philadelphia and giving us some more informationabout what's happened in that shooting this afternoon.
That and more on the way onnews radio eleven ten KFA. Emery's

(45:00):
songer on news radio eleven ten KFABwhile he did one of his shows with
a reverend, a Christian reverend fromBethlehem, who's you know, practicing in
Bethlehem. Basically, the idea wasthat our buddy Dan Crenshaw said, Hey,

(45:21):
you know what, we are gettingmisinformation from this guy because he wants
clickbait. He wants he wants youto click and watch and listen and think
that he's telling the truth when heis doing nothing with spewing false narratives.
I find it to be quite fascinating. These are two people that I think
many people would have considered kind ofaligned at least politically, and I just

(45:42):
want your thoughts four two five fiveeight eleven ten. Four h two five
five eight eleven ten. Jason ison the line. Jason, thank you
so much for calling in today.What do you think about this? You
know, so I haven't watched theinterview yet, but I certainly will.
But I'm actually an orthodox Christian myself, and I've heard firsthand from other people
who have gone over to the HolyLand about abuse that they've faced from some

(46:05):
of the residents there. And it'snot just that, oh, you're an
American, it's oh, you're aChristian. Let me hurl some insults your
way. And then the other thoughtI have about this is if you look
at the overall population of Christians inthe Holy Land, it has gone down
steadily since the middle of the twentiethcentury. And you know, as Americans

(46:28):
know, a big driving factor forpeople moving is oppression. So I definitely
think that Tucker Carlson is onto somethinghere. I haven't watched the interview,
and I think Dan Crenshaw is absolutelywrong. And if he sits down and
talks with people who are living throughall that, he'll get probably the same
story that Carlson put out well,I guess, Jason. My biggest thing

(46:52):
is there are a couple of differentangles to take on this. First of
all, it's just, you know, face value, what the information is,
are Christians being persecuted in Israel inthe response to that, whether we
know or we don't know as faras Cringshaw is concerned. But then the
other angle is the support that theUnited States is trying to show an ally
in Israel. How are those twothings the same? Are different? Well,

(47:15):
personally, I don't think the UnitedStates just support Israel in any way,
shape or form, But there probablyisn't that much overlap between the two
things. So what I guess,I guess Jason, Jason, let me
just set back in then, whatthe United States had a lot to do
with the implementation of what Israel becamein the like the exact time right after

(47:37):
World War Two that we were talkingabout, after the persecution that Jewish people
had obviously in Hitler's Germany and inthe Holocaust. Right, So we in
Hamas and people who are sympathizers withthe Palestinian cause say, you know this,
this has been decades long. It'snot just a six month long conflict.
This has really been decades long buildingup to a war of some kind

(48:00):
here. I guess does the theperceived oppression of Christians in Israel affect how
we as a country should be helpingeither Israel as a country because there are
our ally or trying to help Israelat all because of the fact that,
you know, maybe they are notnecessarily aligned with some of the values that

(48:22):
we as a country are trying touphold. Right, Okay, yeah,
from that angle, the first cutof Christians should be a full non starter.
We should we should uh withdraw anyany support that we've got and until
the situation changes. All right,Well that's fair enough, Jason. I
really appreciate you calling in with youryour opinion on this today. Yep,

(48:44):
thank you. All right, let'sgo ahead and uh go to George.
George, appreciate you calling in today. What's on your mind about this?
Hey? Brother? Since about WorldWar Two, every Arab country in the
middle of Eag had Jews and Christianshundreds of thousands. Today there is basically
none. They've been wholesale slaughtered forthe last eighty five years or driven completely

(49:07):
out of the country. To seea little bit of Israel doing the same
thing, I think they've had enoughoppression where they might not want people around
him. You know. You know, every time we get somebody, we
end up dead, you know,to this day. You know, the
only thing about the Palestinians, Palestiniansnever never Britain. Gradually in the nineteen

(49:31):
forty Israel's home is Jerusalem and hasbeen for five thousand years. So when
you say who belongs there and whodon't, that's a whole different ballgame.
But then you look at Vladimir Peutin. You remember Obama telling the ambassador from
Russia, give me, let meget reelected. I have a little more

(49:51):
leeway to deal with Bladden. Whatdid do they die in Ukraine for?
You know, we're losing you,George. Sorry. I appreciate the call
and the idea and the thought.Here, there's no doubt as far as
you know, Like for me personally, I don't think there's any doubt about

(50:23):
the fact that this relationship between Israel, the relationship with Russia has been mishandled
by our leaders over the years,and it's been misunderstood by many people in
our country because we are not there. It's not only about us not being

(50:44):
there, but it also has somethingto do with us as we try to
learn about things that are happening outsideof our borders. It creates a It's
a difficult scenario for us, Ithink, because you want to try to

(51:07):
understand so we are as well informedas possible. But this is the thing
about the Ukrainian news versus the Russiannews, and what we're hearing from multiple
sources, what the Israelis are saying, with the IDEF is saying, what
Benjamin et Yahou is saying about what'shappening in Israel, versus the stuff that's
coming from Palestinian news or Hamas.And we have to think about what we

(51:32):
trust or don't trust about something thatis happening thousands and thousands of miles away
from where we are, and inthe age of artificial intelligence, that has
just become more difficult. It has, and I wish there was an easy
answer to resolve all this. Butthe most the most important thing I think

(51:53):
that we can do is just continueto seek the truth and be open minded
about things. It might be oneof those situations where you think to yourself,
I've got my mind made up.I feel this way about something,
whether we're talking international relations, ortalking about any issues like the southern border
or abortion or any of the otherhot button issues that we have in our

(52:14):
country right now. I feel thisway, and then when we do that,
we open ourselves up to being veryclose minded about other pieces of information
that might be able to change ourmind or affect the way that we think
about things, and that can bevery difficult to make an adjustment to that.

(52:36):
I guess the endgame point here andthis goes beyond just Crenshaw going after
Tucker Carlson, which I still findto be incredibly fascinating, and I can't
wait to learn more about what Tuckermight say back to Dan Crenshaw, even
though they obviously they're not friends byany means. But we're talking specifically about

(52:59):
all this that this is happening sofar away. Be open minded about the
news, because there isn't something youcan full proof trust all the time,
and this is going to give usthe opportunity to learn more about who might
be on the right side or thewrong side, and we can continue to
debate that in the forum that wehave, which I have this four hour
radio show every day, and Ireally appreciate everybody bringing their different angles to

(53:21):
it. But it's a lot harderto accept different viewpoints when you are just
kind of closed minded on certain issues. And that's something that I've kind of
tried to teach myself over time.It's so hard just to know facts for
facts, because everybody's just trying toput their own spin on it or to
make you think one way or another, and that's not what facts are supposed

(53:43):
to be. That's spin. Andall we can do is just try to
take the spin out of our newsand try to understand exactly what's happening over
there. But very fascinating stuff,and I appreciate everybody for taking part in
that conversation with us today. Allright, it is three point forty eight.
We are going to talk more aboutwhat happened in Philadelphia and we have
more information for you on exactly what'sgoing on there, and we'll give you

(54:05):
that on the way on news radioeleven ten KFAB and Marie on news Radio
eleven ten kfab. Blatant clickbait,and these are false narratives done to get
more people to click on Tucker Carlson'svideos and to provide him monetary benefit.
And there's been people on both sidesof the Aisle basically throwing their opinions in

(54:29):
on this and it's kind of createdthis conversation about our support for Israel and
by technically, you know, you'rekind of opening the Tucker Carlson stuff in
Russia kind of in with the narrativeas well. Well, we got a
phone line up and then we've talkedto you about it four h two five
five eight to eleven Cen and Justinis on the line, Justin what do
you think about all this? Well? I think we need to continue supporting

(54:54):
Israel as much as possible, ifnot more. I feel bad for the
people Gaza that are needing aid andneed more humanitarian need. But the other
side of that coin is that ifwe pull our support from Israel, that's
the country of nine point five millionpeople that no other country in that region

(55:15):
wants to exist. If we pullour support from them, what kind of
humanitarian crisis will we be dealing withthem? And not just in that region,
it would expand exponentally beyond that.You're talking nine point five million Jews
and Christians in Israel that are goingto be slaughtered. I mean, obviously

(55:35):
not on nine point five million ofthem, but no, you know how
many I'm hearing you though, AndI think justin I think the bigger question
here for some people who are saying, well, it's not all sunshines and
days with the way Israel treats Christianshere, I feel like that's a different
conversation than trying to support what issupposed to be an ally with the Western
world. You know, yeah,I think I think supporting them not that

(56:04):
Israel's perfect by any means. Andobviously there's a lot of questions about what
they're doing with their military and howthey're approaching their offensive nature of the military.
At the same time, though,if they're an ally, then what
are we even talking about here?Exactly, you know, so exactly you
have to support your allies. Andin response to them saying that the Christians

(56:25):
and Israel are being persecuted, Imean, I would love to see the
truth statistics on that, because that'sjust like saying that the Jews in the
United States aren't being because they are. Yeah, go to a college campus.
Yeah. Unfortunately, like you said, it's not all sunshine and roses,

(56:45):
right, no place is perfect.But at the at the end of
the day, though, right,we're not there, like like we just
have to take the information that we'regetting. But like you said, I
mean, the same thing's happening toJewish people in this country as well.
Appreciate the call. Justin thank you, av you too. John's on the
line, Johnny with Emory on newsradio eleven kfab Hey, Emory, just

(57:07):
listening to the show came to mind. Dan Crenshaw took Jesse Waters to task
a couple of weeks ago for somethinghe said, and he was pretty vicious.
But so he's into clicks too,apparently. But as far as the
situation in Israel, Bethlehem is inthe West Bank, and I don't know

(57:32):
if you remember, but back Christmastime they shut down any Christian observance of
Christmas. It was because of thePalestinian authority shutting it down. So if
there's any you know, that townused to be eighty five Christian and now

(57:55):
it's like fifteen percent. So anyway, that's all I really had to say,
except that you know that Orthodox person. I'm married to an Orthodox woman
and you know they don't read theirBible that much. But anyway, the
uh Bible tells us that God lovesthe Jewish people. And as Christians we're

(58:19):
supposed to as well. So that'sall I got to say. I appreciate
the call, John, Thanks foryour information today. You betcha there's a
lot of different angles to that,a lot of different angles to this story,
and and a lot of things todiscuss. Again, it's hard to
know exactly what things mean when you'renot there and you're reading it on the
news or you're seeing it, andpeople like you have one source of information

(58:40):
for them at the same time,an ally should be an ally as far
as the United States government is concerned, right right. And because one person
is reporting a different type side ofthe story than others, does that change
the narrative around these stories? Iguess I'm not. I'm a little unsure
about why, all of a sudden, just one person reporting one side of

(59:04):
things changes the entire story around it. We'll talk more about this and give
you that update in Philadelphia that Itold you about next News Radio eleven ten KFAB
