00:00:00
Speaker 1: It's Friday and Denver, and that means it's time once again for the Right Side of Hollywood with award winning filmmaker Deborah Flora and Christian Toto of Hollywood. In Toto on the intersection of pop culture, entertainment and politics in America.
00:00:12
Speaker 2: Right here, I'm Ryan schuling live.
00:00:16
Speaker 3: The fact that Trump is ruining everything all the time has not helped his popularity. According to a new UMass you Gov, you spin me right round, baby, right round, Paul, his approval rating has.
00:00:28
Speaker 4: Sung to thirty three percent, thirty three thirty three percent, one third. That's only one out of every three people.
00:00:39
Speaker 3: To put that into perspective, turn to your right, now.
00:00:43
Speaker 2: Turn to your left.
00:00:45
Speaker 3: Both of those people are more popular than Donald Trump.
00:00:50
Speaker 2: First of Baked Love did it?
00:00:55
Speaker 5: That was lovelyly?
00:00:56
Speaker 6: Thank you?
00:00:57
Speaker 3: Some's other pole numbers are also pretty rough. On average, forty seven point two percent of Americans strongly disapprove of him, but there are still twenty two point four percent who strongly approve of him.
00:01:12
Speaker 2: Who are you? I?
00:01:22
Speaker 3: Oh, well, I want Cass to be expensive. I want the Kennedy Center blowed up. And I know this is a pipe dream, but there's there any way that maybe maybe we could get Denmark to haters, because I would just love I would just love it if the price of licorice went up to.
00:01:46
Speaker 7: The Hi.
00:01:48
Speaker 3: We're at backstage, going what does Denmark make.
00:01:53
Speaker 2: Mermaids?
00:01:54
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I want you to look to your right. I see Deborah Flora, and look to your left, I see too. They both get better ratings from Stephen.
00:02:03
Speaker 8: Colbert, so does Ryan Schuling.
00:02:06
Speaker 2: I was gonna say it.
00:02:08
Speaker 1: We are right side of Hollywood, Christin Toto. And also we're funnier. We're funnier than Stephen Colbert. All of that just it's so inside baseball, the crowd they're laughing. They don't know why they're laughing. It's so inside. It's so narrowly defined and not funny, not funny. And of course Colbert is going away, the whole show, the Late Show, CBS going away in May can't come soon enough. And welcome to this edition of the Right Side of Hollywood. Now, Christian, you brought this to my attention, and it's like Colbert doesn't learn that there's no learning, no growing, but it's not funny like Seinfeld in that context, what did we just hear and what does the point of this.
00:02:50
Speaker 9: It's the DNC, it's a messaging machine. It's propaganda. It's not comedy. It's not entertainment. It's certainly not funny. It's really kind of sad. One of listen this is you know, yes, gas prices right now are high, and for the first year and a half of his presidency, the gas prices are pretty darn low, much lower than they were. This is a temporary situation obviously, what's going on in Iran, and it will be rectified soon and I suspect in a month or two they won't be talking about gas because it'll be back to normal and or lower than we expected. So it's just a temporary thing, as or the polling right now, and you know, there is Sometimes presidents do things that have the big picture in mind, and what Trump has done is basically taking out I ran the number one state sponsored terrorism and you know, and maybe rectified things in the Middle East in a way that hasn't been done in decades and took out a thorn in our side for the last forty plus years. Those are big things, and sometimes the public is not on board with it. Sometimes who don't know what the end game will be, and sometimes things are complicated. We'd even know how this is going to all play out. But this sort of knee jerrich, silly, one sided, bubble dwelling kind of commentary is it should be beneath him, but it's certainly not. But just the cheering and the jeering, it's just so infantile, and it's so obvious that they've chased every center right, right leaning conservative person away from that show, like get away. We don't want you, we don't need you, and heck, we don't even like you. You're dumb. You're dumb because Denmark might not like America.
00:04:15
Speaker 6: Wow, Wow, I don't like Hungerish by the way, that doesn't really bother me.
00:04:19
Speaker 9: Yeah, And by the way, I used to go to the Kendey Center. It's a lovely place and I hope the rebuilding it makes it better than ever. But most people in the country ninety nine percent of the people in the country don't give a bleep about the Canady Center. Sorry, they just don't.
00:04:30
Speaker 2: Deb bro.
00:04:31
Speaker 1: Let's give Colbert another chance. Maybe he'll get it right. Here here's another clip, and what.
00:04:37
Speaker 9: Do you hate us?
00:04:37
Speaker 2: I want We're going to okay and put it off long enough.
00:04:41
Speaker 3: Last night, Trump gave a primetime address about the Iran War, and it was all the stuff you've heard before, but now delivered by.
00:04:48
Speaker 2: A narchtized turtle.
00:04:50
Speaker 3: This piece was built as a major update on the month long war, but the only real information he offered was that other wars lasted longer.
00:05:00
Speaker 10: Important that we keep this conflict in perspective. American involvement in World War One lasted one year, seven months and five days. World War two lasted for three years, eight months and twenty five days. The Korean War lasted for three years, one month, and two days. The Vietnam War lasted for nineteen years, five months and twenty nine days. Iraq went on for eight years, eight months and twenty eight days.
00:05:34
Speaker 7: Fraser went on for eleven years, one month, and thirty six minutes. Suddenly Susan was only four years, two days, and three box tops sex Sex in the city was six years unless she counts and just like that, which personally I don't because my Miranda would never leave Steve.
00:05:54
Speaker 1: So, Debra, isn't it relevant that we have been in this military action with Iran for thirty four days and it's the same stick, it's the same note that he's striking. It gets so old, Colbert going to the Trump greatest hits.
00:06:10
Speaker 6: Here's the thing that I think is shows how trivializing their world viewpoint really is. He's comparing wars that we have been involved with with television shows. I mean, what does that tell you about his perspective. My father served in Vietnam nineteen years is the mark of a war that was politicized, mishandled, and what's not anything like what we're doing right now. Actually, when I hear his criticisms Denmark gas prices, which you know, we're much higher under Biden, it really shows me they have nothing to actually criticize him about because those are so minor. And by the way, Hollywood makes apocalyptic movies all the time, and they're trying to treat the Trump administration as though its apocalyptic. When I think of truly apocalyptic things, I think about the fact that when I was researching, and that's forty seven years, no president has done anything about Iran. In early two thousands, everybody said, holy cow, they've been hiding their their their nuclear program, which is a threat.
00:07:11
Speaker 8: And I was just reading that. By the way, as.
00:07:13
Speaker 6: Most of us know that's sixty percent enriched and uranium, one step before ninety percent weapons grade, and most expert stinks they could have had six to eight bombs within two weeks. I'm sorry, let's bring it away from Sex in the City and get to what this is really about. You know, the bigger thing I wonder about, Stephen Colbert, why would you continue to give somebody a platform when they know their show is ending? Because this is desperate reaching of someone who knows it doesn't matter because his show is already going away.
00:07:43
Speaker 9: And by the way, did Colbert mention? Now, I guess the numbers fluctuate. Maybe you don't have the exact figures, but I've heard as much as thirty thousand Iranian citizens have been slaughtered by their murderment, five thousand haven't been slaughtered since the war began.
00:07:58
Speaker 8: Yeah, well there you go. And this is but they.
00:08:00
Speaker 6: Trivialize everything so much. I'm like, how dare you?
00:08:04
Speaker 8: How dare you.
00:08:05
Speaker 6: Trivialize what is happening here? And yes, there is a comparison. And you know, it was so sad to hear the audience, like the little giggling laughter in the background as we're talking about World War one, World War two, the Korean War, the Vietnam War. And yes, by the way, this is the clearest mandate that we have to stop one other thing.
00:08:26
Speaker 8: Sorry, got me going.
00:08:27
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:08:28
Speaker 6: Iran has killed more Americans since the revolution in nineteen seventy nine than any other power. They're the number one sponsor of terrorism. We're coming on the twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven. Can we please have a little decency and respect.
00:08:43
Speaker 1: Now, Christian, I'm going to give Stephen Colbert a third bite at the apple. Oh no, I give him another shot. I'm a fair minded person. There are times that charm.
00:08:52
Speaker 2: There we go, let's let's see, let's find out together.
00:08:55
Speaker 3: Trump told us what we can expect next, and it was a little all over the map.
00:08:59
Speaker 10: We're going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks.
00:09:04
Speaker 2: We're going to bring them back to.
00:09:06
Speaker 10: The stone ages where they belong. In the meantime, discussions are ongoing.
00:09:11
Speaker 2: Fu huh what.
00:09:15
Speaker 11: Holy whiplashback man, Look, I got a message for doctor bone Smasher. When I meet you in.
00:09:21
Speaker 2: The ring tomorrow night, brother, I'm.
00:09:23
Speaker 11: Gonna crush your spine into a fine powder, then cut it into lines and snort it up. Also, Carol and I are doing a small brush things tomorrow at our place, and I.
00:09:33
Speaker 12: Love you to come and raise the film.
00:09:39
Speaker 1: Right oh for three two parts to this though Christian, because whether it's Casey Hunt or Kristin Welker or Caitlyn Collins or Jake Tapper or John carl all of these adversarial members of the media who don't like Donald Trump, and Trump doesn't much like them, but they'll text him, they'll call him, He'll text them, He'll call them right back. He's accessible to our news media. They've got to love it. And what would a late night show host like Stephen Colbert do without Donald Trump? Right now, let's just pretend we live in a dystopian world that never describes, and God forbid, Kamala Harris is our president right now?
00:10:15
Speaker 2: Well, what do you be joking about?
00:10:16
Speaker 9: Oh, he'd be joking a Trump because Trump would still be doing something. And when Trump was out of office for four years, all they did was Trump jokes. And when they dare to tell a Biden joke, it was, uh, he's a pretty old guy. Moving on to Trump or Tosantis or to someone. They've got a pattern, they've got a routine. By the way, the reason why Trump is hammering Iran and talking to Iran is because it improves our bargaining positions. If you're getting pummeled, you might come to the table and make an agreement. Doesn't he get that? How stupid is he?
00:10:47
Speaker 2: You know what they call that? It's a carrot and stick approach.
00:10:50
Speaker 13: Right.
00:10:51
Speaker 6: The reason why we have seen we are beginning to see actually generational global shifts. I mean, Cuba is now wanting to negotiate Venezuela, a known wanted criminal that also decimated his people.
00:11:07
Speaker 8: By the way, why are.
00:11:08
Speaker 6: They not talking about the incredibly horrific conditions of the people in Cuba, in Venezuela, in Iran? And you know what would Simon Colbert be joking about if Trump were not the White House still joking about the rest of America that disagrees with him, and he'd be mocking us. He'd be talking like we're hicks yep. And you know, he started this entire thing in the first clip you sit where he asked a question.
00:11:31
Speaker 8: Who are you?
00:11:32
Speaker 6: How about people begin to ask a real question, what do you Why would you vote for him? What is it you see that I don't see, they don't want to know. All they would do is mock and man, did they have a gold mine of material in Joe Biden and they just honestly couldn't go there.
00:11:48
Speaker 9: By the way, real quickly, Ryan, how about you have a smart Trump supporter on your show? Oh you asked him or her directly? Maybe having Secretary of Rubio on there. He would get his clock cleaned and the audience would be muted in horror as it happened. But he wouldn't dare do that because he's a bully and a coward.
00:12:08
Speaker 8: There you go. That's the Bill Maher approach.
00:12:09
Speaker 6: That's why Bill Maher will be one of the few comedians who survived this apocalypse. I'm not gonna use that word again, this terrible state that we are in in and I'm using air quotes comedy because he's one of the few that actually is willing because he's confident in his own viewpoint. He may be wrong, but he's not afraid to ask people a real question.
00:12:30
Speaker 1: Bill Maher is intellectually honest, Yes, I would put it that way, and I believe that he believes what he says. He's critical of Trump where he feels that way. He is praiseworthy of Trump when he feels that way. He had represented Lauren Bolbert not that long ago, right, And I like that he has those conversations. It makes it more interesting for the listener. For the audience, I'm quoting Steve Martin plains and audible bills that I know you kicked up on that for the listener. But another Hollywood reference here, mister toad, is what I'm thinking of, Deborah.
00:13:02
Speaker 2: You kind of turned my headlight on about this with.
00:13:06
Speaker 1: President Trump coming back in for the second term, having the four years in between and everything that Biden muddled and mucked up.
00:13:12
Speaker 2: And I'm cleaning up my language right now, but good job. I roan Cuba, Venezuela.
00:13:18
Speaker 1: This reminds me of the end of The Godfather where Michael Corleoni is settling all family business. It takes on all the other heads of the five families, and I'm here for it.
00:13:31
Speaker 8: I think that's human. Oh sorry, no, no, go ahead.
00:13:34
Speaker 2: Christian, I know, I agree.
00:13:35
Speaker 9: I mean, listen, and sometimes leaders do things that are not popular initially, but they know they have to lead and they have to have make consequences. And I think that's what Trump's are doing right now, to his credit, because this is not the move they get your poll numbers up. Going to war against Iran is not the magic elixir that he wanted point, especially during a midterm year. Yes, and yet he's doing it because he understands it's the right thing to do. Listen, Is it perfect? Could it back far? Absolutely? And history will judge him harshly on that. But everything we just talked about does matter, and he's reshaping the globe in a way that could help everyone, not just America.
00:14:12
Speaker 6: Well, and I agree, And the difference between him and Michael Corleone is he's not taking out just competition, he is actually taking out those he used to termine his speech President Trump, where it's like basically nuclear blackmail. We have been under nuclear blackmail from Iran, one of the worst actors in global history, and it's been hanging over everyone. And I do think exactly what Christian Tota said. I think President Trump actually does not. He realizes this may lose the midterms, but if he does not have the wills to finally stop this potentially existential threat of a nuclear Iran, no one else will. And I thank him for that. I'd agree with him on everything, but it takes somebody of strong will who doesn't care as much politically as he does for posterity to make this move.
00:15:01
Speaker 1: I regret to inform both of you and our audience there's one more Colbert.
00:15:05
Speaker 2: No hold on here. Oh, I want you to listen.
00:15:09
Speaker 1: I included the whole thing because this is so obviously scripted and set up and phony and fraudulent and fake. Stephen Colbert expresses amusement with Meryl Streep.
00:15:23
Speaker 2: Is is there.
00:15:23
Speaker 1: Anything else you would like to mention or talk about? Like they didn't talk about this beforehand. Give me a break, Meryl. I don't know how to put this. Yeah, but this is the interview. We've had the interview.
00:15:35
Speaker 8: I'm excused.
00:15:36
Speaker 3: No, no, I don't want it to be over. Oh is there anything that I did not ask you that you would like to touch upon having to do with the world of entertainment or movies of the world in general?
00:15:48
Speaker 5: Oh well, yes, I hope that the Same America Act, if that passes, all the married women that have changed their names are going to have to go to the registrar and proof that they are who they are.
00:16:12
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
00:16:13
Speaker 8: In other words, to.
00:16:15
Speaker 5: Your voting registrar. This is what I understand. Otherwise, when you get to the voting booth in November, you might be disqualified because your name doesn't on your birth certificate doesn't match your.
00:16:27
Speaker 8: Name the voting roles.
00:16:30
Speaker 5: So everybody has to get Oh that's terrible, and this is such a pain in the neck because you have to go. But do it because otherwise you'll be turned away. And I think that women need to be heard.
00:16:52
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Okay, hold on, hold one, you silly woman. Do you think Jonathan can show you how to do these things because you can't do it?
00:17:00
Speaker 2: You're damsel in distress?
00:17:02
Speaker 8: Well, dag on my shoe. Hope. No, I mean you know, I cannot tell you how many ways this irritates me.
00:17:07
Speaker 6: Number one, when Meryl Streep says, from what I understand, well, she obviously hasn't looked into it. And then the people who bow it have no idea what the Save America Act is either. So Number one, I can figure out my own information, and I actually do it for four people and.
00:17:25
Speaker 8: My households, thank you.
00:17:26
Speaker 6: They have their passports, their social Security cards, their driver's license because I'm just equipped enough to do that. My other chromosome does not make me less equipped to do this. The other thing that absolutely gripes my soul. When I voted for the first time my father, and I'm proud of his service. He said to me, when you do this, always remember that people fought and died for your right to vote.
00:17:50
Speaker 8: We have so cheapened that right that.
00:17:53
Speaker 6: Oh, no, Heaven forbid, I might need to change and find some documentation. First of all, you don't have to, it's not how it works. Second, we've got people in Afghanistan when they wanted to vote in twenty nine twenty fourteen, they died their finger and risk having their arm cut off by the Taliban because they valued their vote so much.
00:18:14
Speaker 8: Don't cheapen it.
00:18:15
Speaker 6: And by the way, do not patronize women and do not misrepresent the save Act.
00:18:21
Speaker 8: Okay, I'm really.
00:18:22
Speaker 2: Frustrated you are fired on Flora.
00:18:25
Speaker 8: She offended me.
00:18:25
Speaker 6: I'm not going to say offended on every front, basically, mister total.
00:18:29
Speaker 2: A couple of things.
00:18:29
Speaker 9: One, these shows do pre interviews where the guests will say, I'm going to talk about it when a vacation, talk about my movie. I've got a cute anecdote here, a little bit there This is all not scripted, per se, but it is planned. And Colbert's teeing up her rant was so awkward. I think he even felt guilty about it. And also I listened to her very carefully. She was stammering, she was stumbling as she got and root to it.
00:18:54
Speaker 2: Now.
00:18:55
Speaker 9: I don't know if that was an act because she was a great actress, that she's trying to make it sound a cat and that she's building up her outrage, but good bye, golly. First of all, you're on an entertainment talk show. Why in the world are you talking about anything except for movies and your roles and your career. What is going on this show is just I can't believe anyone listens to it.
00:19:16
Speaker 2: It Just listen.
00:19:17
Speaker 9: If this was if there was a right leading show that had this same sort of pattern, I would I would steer clear of it. It would be disgusting. Who what you don't get to point out? Who's a Trump folder? Who watches this?
00:19:28
Speaker 2: Direct? My gosh awful.
00:19:30
Speaker 1: Well, we gave Colbert a full shot for this whole segment, three clips of him wan a Meryl Streep, and I gotta say it, I tipped my hand a little bit that is our first nominee.
00:19:40
Speaker 2: For Meryl Streep. Are you kidding me?
00:19:42
Speaker 1: With how fired upfore? I got which Shatto includer? So that's nominee number one. Yes, So the rest when we come back our Friday Fool of the Week nominees after this on the right side of Hollywood, and I.
00:20:02
Speaker 13: Was thinking, you know, I'm I a US citizen and visiting Japan, and what it means is that, you know, if I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It's allegiance, meaning can they control you as a matter of law. I can also rely on them if my wallet is stolen to you know, under Japanese law, go and prosecute the person.
00:20:31
Speaker 8: Who has stolen it. So there's this relationship.
00:20:35
Speaker 13: Based on even though I'm a temporary traveler, I'm just on vacation in Japan, I'm still locally owing allegiance in that sense.
00:20:45
Speaker 8: Is that the right way to think about it?
00:20:47
Speaker 13: And if so, doesn't that explain why both temporary residents and undocumented people would have that kind of quote unquote allegiance just by virtue of being in the United States.
00:21:03
Speaker 2: How is this woman justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
00:21:06
Speaker 1: She just contradicted her argument take the undocumented part out of there, illegally in the country one point two. If I steal a wallt in Japan, win in Rome, win in Japan. When you're big in Japan, Alphaville, I'm gonna play that coming back from next break. When you're bad in Japan, you get sent packing. And Deborah, she just played herself. Because if you are the new laws in Japan, I looked them up. I talked about this earlier in the week. Right, if you were illegal in Japan, guess what, pack your bags and hit the bricks pail.
00:21:37
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, sent away.
00:21:39
Speaker 8: It is stunning to me. I mean, and the.
00:21:41
Speaker 6: Way she phrases it, is this the right way of thinking about it. I know she's putting it out there as though she's making the assumption it is.
00:21:49
Speaker 8: But I am stunned.
00:21:50
Speaker 6: I am stunned that she is a Supreme Court justice. I mean, you can have people who I think, start with the wrong set of facts and come up with the wrong inclusion, but at least they have thought it through with intellectual integrity. She is saying a tourist basically has the rights of citizenship wherever they travel. So I'm going to like, let's say I go travel to you know, somewhere in Europe.
00:22:13
Speaker 8: Am I going to say, Hey, I'm here on vacation.
00:22:15
Speaker 6: I want to run for the head of state for your country because now I have that right. It is it is lacking any intellectual rigor.
00:22:25
Speaker 8: And I don't even know what to say. I'm seeing her thing.
00:22:29
Speaker 6: I wish I had a camera and I could have pictured and turned it to the look of the attorney she was tied to that moment, who would have been looking at her like, Uh, I'm sorry, what did you just say? I mean that that's comedy. By the way, that is comedy. Where is Sarah live when you meet him?
00:22:45
Speaker 2: Yes, what a great point, mister tuttle Well.
00:22:47
Speaker 9: I have to vehemently disagree, because what she does by being on the Supreme Court is show every little boy and girl you can be as dumb as a box or fox and still rise to the highest court in the land.
00:22:59
Speaker 2: And I think that is really inspiring. And so I find her a figure of great inspiration.
00:23:05
Speaker 6: As a box of rocks, Oh Christian, this is not your inspiration.
00:23:09
Speaker 1: KBJ joins the aforementioned Meryl Street before the break. Don't forget about her? Don't you forget about Meryll? Two nominees for Full of the Week. We're gonna keep going another in a different realm, waiting into the political waters.
00:23:24
Speaker 2: And why we.
00:23:25
Speaker 1: Said this about Meryl Streep Here goods, good old Chuck, the round mound of rebound, Charles Barkley spurned on by Nate Burlison, who I've really become disappointed with, former Detroit Lions receiver now on the CBS Morning Show, Haven't Liberal and let's go to this.
00:23:42
Speaker 12: I want to be very careful with my words right now, okay, because.
00:23:48
Speaker 2: This is a really touchy subject for me.
00:23:50
Speaker 12: Why I love that kid and his family, but the way somebody's the immigrants again treated in our country right now, there's a travesy and a disgrace. I think there's a difference between amazing immigrants and criminal immigrants. And I think what's going on in our country, what we're doing in some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it's really sad. And that's a great immigrant story. We have a lot of great immigrant stories out there who these stories need to be told, But some of this stuff that's happening to immigrants in our country right now, it's really unfortunate and it's really unfair. But immigrants built this country and we should admire them and respect.
00:24:47
Speaker 1: Them all right now, Christian, I want to ask, say, Cindy Romero about illegal immigrants in this country. I want to ask the family of Lincoln Riley, or Joscelyn Nungary or any of the myriad women who been raped murdered by illegal aliens, criminal elements that are in this country.
00:25:05
Speaker 2: What is Charles talking about here?
00:25:07
Speaker 9: Listen, I mean, he's conflating illegal and legal immigrants. It's what everyone on the left does.
00:25:12
Speaker 2: It is exhausting.
00:25:13
Speaker 9: Listen, at the end of the day, there are people who got into this country illegally who probably are decent and kind and hardworking and in theory could be wonderful productive members of our country. But they've gone about it the absolute wrong way. That's what's going on right now. We had a former president who just opened the gates and let everyone in, and we don't know who would sign the guest book, who was good, who was bad, and who was in between. So this is sort of a kumbaya I wish the world were a better place kind of sentiment. And it's not nearly as hateful as some of the other stuff or as dumb as other stuff we've heard on the show. But the same time, it's just conflating all these different things, and we're not, you know, throwing them into the gulag or punishing them or brutalizing them. We're telling, hey, you got to go. I'm sorry, you've got to go. And I imagine if they go away and they come back and they do it legally, we'd love them and welcome with open arms. That's what the situation is. And I think what Charles Barkley is doing is just letting his emotions get the better of them.
00:26:09
Speaker 6: CEB Yeah, exactly. I mean the reality is it's time to challenge people of this theory and say, let me just ask you a question. Do you believe that we have a right to decide who's in our country? Do we actually have laws that say this is how you enter our country legally?
00:26:24
Speaker 8: Because, by the way, we.
00:26:26
Speaker 6: Have less stringent laws than many many other countries you mentioned Japan and other laws like that you have to go through a whole lot to go into their countries and you would be arrested right away if you did it illegally. And this conflation of criminality, what does that mean? No, not everyone did horrible things like what happened to Lake and Ryan all of that, but there are different levels of criminality. Entering illegally is still a criminal act, or if you really don't think it should be, then work on changing the laws. But as Christian said very well, we are not treating these people horribly in any way. Yes, if you committed a crime, you're about to be arrested and then deported. The rest were just saying, please go back to your home and if you want to come back, do it the correct way. We have to finally have this decision. We are a country of borders and if we're we're not really a country at all.
00:27:20
Speaker 1: Bingo Charles Barkley, Well, that missed him that whole analysis, but maybe he'll hear it from somebody I don't know. He joins our list of Fool the Week nominees, along with Justice Kintanji Brown Jackson, and Meryl Streep. And then finally this one, perhaps the Kuda Rage. She is the first Lady of California. Jennifer Siebel Newsome and she's talking to Jensaki here about visiting zoo animals in the South with her kids. Oh no, wait, they're Red State voters. Let's hear what she had to say.
00:27:51
Speaker 8: You took your four kids on this trip. You're here in Alabama.
00:27:54
Speaker 13: Now, why was it important to you to take them on this trip to Red States and learn.
00:27:58
Speaker 8: About the history and our c That's a great question.
00:28:01
Speaker 14: Well, I don't think or I know for a fact that we don't get all of this history in our schools.
00:28:10
Speaker 8: And it's part of and you.
00:28:12
Speaker 14: Know, enlivening them, building their curiosity, expanding their hearts, their empathy so that they themselves can be the change they wish to see in the world and recognize that, you know, we have work to do and that we have healings to do, and so that they can be, you know, use their voices to stand out and speak out when they see pain and suffering and bullying and racism and misogyny around them, and we.
00:28:41
Speaker 8: Want them to see it so that they know I do. I am the truth seeker. They need to know the truth.
00:28:49
Speaker 2: Really, she just painted the entire South with one house.
00:28:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what, you know what is said to me. I'm listening to her voice and she sounds authentic to me. She is the perfect example of how the left ideology weaponizes compassion. She it sounds like she has compassion, but they have weaponized her compassion and pointed in the wrong direction. I lived in California for a little while, and man was at my temporary and sanity period.
00:29:16
Speaker 8: You know, KLA's got his issues.
00:29:17
Speaker 6: But boy did I see plenty of sexism in Hollywood? Boy did I see plenty of racism when now, if you are a white, straight person in a studio system like my husband was, you are not seeing the same as someone who has other sorts of you know, identity factors factored in. To say that she had to take her children to Red States to observe sexism and racism is in and of itself collective judgment. But what I think is really bad is I think she sounds like probably a really I have no reason to judge that she's not compassionate her her compassion was weaponized and was not added to critical thinking. At the same time, it's unfortunate.
00:30:01
Speaker 2: Christian final word.
00:30:02
Speaker 9: I mean, what she said was so hateful to Alabama, and I assuming beyond that scope. It's hard to believe in the sane world those quotes would almost would almost kill his presidency that his wife would say something like that. And by the way, she sounds exactly like Gavin Newsom. This word salady. It sounds intellectual, but it's actually shallow deep it is. I mean, they are a perfect match. And I don't say that as a compliment.
00:30:29
Speaker 6: And one thing I want to add to that, By the way, this woman, I think would like to be First Letty of the United States, and she is complete disdain and discussed for states that she thinks are really morally reprehensible. I'm sorry, that's a really hard way to say, you want to be first Letty the entire United States.
00:30:46
Speaker 1: She did not do Gavin Newsom any favors when it comes to the electoral map or the electoral map in running for president, because I got to tell you, flyover country, the unwashed, the Upper Midwest, the rust Belt, the very states the Democrats need to win, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania. Wave goodbye to those of Gavin Newsom's the nominee. And here's another reason why Jennifer Seebel Newsome, first Lady of California, Charles Barkley kb J Meryl Streep, who will be our fool of the Week? Stay tuned, you'll find out next and you can vote five seven, seven, three nine. Send those along as we wind things down on this edition on the right side of Hollywood.
00:31:27
Speaker 13: And I was thinking, you know, I'm i US citizen, am visiting Japan, and what it means is that, you know, if I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It's allegiance, meaning can they control you as a matter of law. I can also rely on them if my wallet is stolen to you know, under Japanese law, go and prosecute the person who has stolen it.
00:32:01
Speaker 8: So there's this relationship.
00:32:03
Speaker 13: Based on even though I'm a temporary traveler, I'm just on vacation in Japan, I'm still locally owing allegiance in that sense.
00:32:14
Speaker 8: Is that the right way to think about it?
00:32:16
Speaker 13: And if so, doesn't that explain why both temporary residents and undocumented people we have that kind of quote unquote allegiance just by virtue of being in the United States.
00:32:31
Speaker 1: Now that stakes were high, we had a split vote, but at the photo finish this texter KBJ flogging idiot, and then this texter don't forget turning Japanese by the vapors. Indeed, we pointed out the absolute contradiction in her statement there because she kind of slides in that undocumented immigrants. Well again we talked about what happens to so called undocumented immigrants in Japan. You go away, heybe congratulations, Deborah, are Fool of the week.
00:33:02
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what I have to say.
00:33:03
Speaker 6: The thing about KBJ is it really concerns me that someone who tasked with that holding the Constitution of the United States of America, if she goes to Japan, does she shift and uphold the documents of Japan.
00:33:14
Speaker 8: I mean, where is her.
00:33:15
Speaker 6: Allegiance and all of this? So, boy, she sure was a tough you know runner. I also have to say Meryl Streep was my choice because she not only denigrated our right to vote and demeaned it, she also absolutely you know, was condescending to me as a woman and every woman out there who's very capable of getting any paperwork together.
00:33:33
Speaker 8: So there we go. It was tough, it you made it tough, risk Yep.
00:33:37
Speaker 1: Final minute of play Christian, you voted for a third candidate. That tells you how well spread out the nominees were.
00:33:42
Speaker 2: This thing, Yeah it was.
00:33:43
Speaker 9: I voted for the future president's way.
00:33:46
Speaker 1: Oh god, it's not the future president.
00:33:50
Speaker 2: By the way.
00:33:51
Speaker 9: I worry about my sobriety being on this show week after week.
00:33:53
Speaker 2: These schools.
00:33:54
Speaker 9: They are driving me to drink and it must be five o'clock somewhere because I need a stiff one eye.
00:33:59
Speaker 2: I just this is I can't go through this sober. I'm sorry.
00:34:02
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Christian. Tell the good people what you're working on at hollywoodintoto dot com.
00:34:07
Speaker 9: Yeah, I got new pieces about Bruce Springsteen and Jane Fond at Hollywood in Toto and the newest podcast Talk To Kurt Schlichtor asked them some tough questions about some of those conservative pundits who.
00:34:18
Speaker 2: Have lost their way, and Kirt did not hold back.
00:34:20
Speaker 9: So check that out on iTunes or YouTube or anywhere you get your favorite podcast.
00:34:24
Speaker 1: And the hub of the wheel Hollywoodintoto dot com.
00:34:27
Speaker 2: That's the website.
00:34:27
Speaker 1: Follow him on ex A Hollywood in Toto for Christian, for Deborah Flora, I'm Ryan Schuling sending you into your weekend, enjoy opening Day for the Rockies. I'll be heading there right now, and I'll talk to you again on Monday right here on Ryan Schuling Live
Speaker 1: It's Friday and Denver, and that means it's time once again for the Right Side of Hollywood with award winning filmmaker Deborah Flora and Christian Toto of Hollywood. In Toto on the intersection of pop culture, entertainment and politics in America.
00:00:12
Speaker 2: Right here, I'm Ryan schuling live.
00:00:16
Speaker 3: The fact that Trump is ruining everything all the time has not helped his popularity. According to a new UMass you Gov, you spin me right round, baby, right round, Paul, his approval rating has.
00:00:28
Speaker 4: Sung to thirty three percent, thirty three thirty three percent, one third. That's only one out of every three people.
00:00:39
Speaker 3: To put that into perspective, turn to your right, now.
00:00:43
Speaker 2: Turn to your left.
00:00:45
Speaker 3: Both of those people are more popular than Donald Trump.
00:00:50
Speaker 2: First of Baked Love did it?
00:00:55
Speaker 5: That was lovelyly?
00:00:56
Speaker 6: Thank you?
00:00:57
Speaker 3: Some's other pole numbers are also pretty rough. On average, forty seven point two percent of Americans strongly disapprove of him, but there are still twenty two point four percent who strongly approve of him.
00:01:12
Speaker 2: Who are you? I?
00:01:22
Speaker 3: Oh, well, I want Cass to be expensive. I want the Kennedy Center blowed up. And I know this is a pipe dream, but there's there any way that maybe maybe we could get Denmark to haters, because I would just love I would just love it if the price of licorice went up to.
00:01:46
Speaker 7: The Hi.
00:01:48
Speaker 3: We're at backstage, going what does Denmark make.
00:01:53
Speaker 2: Mermaids?
00:01:54
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I want you to look to your right. I see Deborah Flora, and look to your left, I see too. They both get better ratings from Stephen.
00:02:03
Speaker 8: Colbert, so does Ryan Schuling.
00:02:06
Speaker 2: I was gonna say it.
00:02:08
Speaker 1: We are right side of Hollywood, Christin Toto. And also we're funnier. We're funnier than Stephen Colbert. All of that just it's so inside baseball, the crowd they're laughing. They don't know why they're laughing. It's so inside. It's so narrowly defined and not funny, not funny. And of course Colbert is going away, the whole show, the Late Show, CBS going away in May can't come soon enough. And welcome to this edition of the Right Side of Hollywood. Now, Christian, you brought this to my attention, and it's like Colbert doesn't learn that there's no learning, no growing, but it's not funny like Seinfeld in that context, what did we just hear and what does the point of this.
00:02:50
Speaker 9: It's the DNC, it's a messaging machine. It's propaganda. It's not comedy. It's not entertainment. It's certainly not funny. It's really kind of sad. One of listen this is you know, yes, gas prices right now are high, and for the first year and a half of his presidency, the gas prices are pretty darn low, much lower than they were. This is a temporary situation obviously, what's going on in Iran, and it will be rectified soon and I suspect in a month or two they won't be talking about gas because it'll be back to normal and or lower than we expected. So it's just a temporary thing, as or the polling right now, and you know, there is Sometimes presidents do things that have the big picture in mind, and what Trump has done is basically taking out I ran the number one state sponsored terrorism and you know, and maybe rectified things in the Middle East in a way that hasn't been done in decades and took out a thorn in our side for the last forty plus years. Those are big things, and sometimes the public is not on board with it. Sometimes who don't know what the end game will be, and sometimes things are complicated. We'd even know how this is going to all play out. But this sort of knee jerrich, silly, one sided, bubble dwelling kind of commentary is it should be beneath him, but it's certainly not. But just the cheering and the jeering, it's just so infantile, and it's so obvious that they've chased every center right, right leaning conservative person away from that show, like get away. We don't want you, we don't need you, and heck, we don't even like you. You're dumb. You're dumb because Denmark might not like America.
00:04:15
Speaker 6: Wow, Wow, I don't like Hungerish by the way, that doesn't really bother me.
00:04:19
Speaker 9: Yeah, And by the way, I used to go to the Kendey Center. It's a lovely place and I hope the rebuilding it makes it better than ever. But most people in the country ninety nine percent of the people in the country don't give a bleep about the Canady Center. Sorry, they just don't.
00:04:30
Speaker 2: Deb bro.
00:04:31
Speaker 1: Let's give Colbert another chance. Maybe he'll get it right. Here here's another clip, and what.
00:04:37
Speaker 9: Do you hate us?
00:04:37
Speaker 2: I want We're going to okay and put it off long enough.
00:04:41
Speaker 3: Last night, Trump gave a primetime address about the Iran War, and it was all the stuff you've heard before, but now delivered by.
00:04:48
Speaker 2: A narchtized turtle.
00:04:50
Speaker 3: This piece was built as a major update on the month long war, but the only real information he offered was that other wars lasted longer.
00:05:00
Speaker 10: Important that we keep this conflict in perspective. American involvement in World War One lasted one year, seven months and five days. World War two lasted for three years, eight months and twenty five days. The Korean War lasted for three years, one month, and two days. The Vietnam War lasted for nineteen years, five months and twenty nine days. Iraq went on for eight years, eight months and twenty eight days.
00:05:34
Speaker 7: Fraser went on for eleven years, one month, and thirty six minutes. Suddenly Susan was only four years, two days, and three box tops sex Sex in the city was six years unless she counts and just like that, which personally I don't because my Miranda would never leave Steve.
00:05:54
Speaker 1: So, Debra, isn't it relevant that we have been in this military action with Iran for thirty four days and it's the same stick, it's the same note that he's striking. It gets so old, Colbert going to the Trump greatest hits.
00:06:10
Speaker 6: Here's the thing that I think is shows how trivializing their world viewpoint really is. He's comparing wars that we have been involved with with television shows. I mean, what does that tell you about his perspective. My father served in Vietnam nineteen years is the mark of a war that was politicized, mishandled, and what's not anything like what we're doing right now. Actually, when I hear his criticisms Denmark gas prices, which you know, we're much higher under Biden, it really shows me they have nothing to actually criticize him about because those are so minor. And by the way, Hollywood makes apocalyptic movies all the time, and they're trying to treat the Trump administration as though its apocalyptic. When I think of truly apocalyptic things, I think about the fact that when I was researching, and that's forty seven years, no president has done anything about Iran. In early two thousands, everybody said, holy cow, they've been hiding their their their nuclear program, which is a threat.
00:07:11
Speaker 8: And I was just reading that. By the way, as.
00:07:13
Speaker 6: Most of us know that's sixty percent enriched and uranium, one step before ninety percent weapons grade, and most expert stinks they could have had six to eight bombs within two weeks. I'm sorry, let's bring it away from Sex in the City and get to what this is really about. You know, the bigger thing I wonder about, Stephen Colbert, why would you continue to give somebody a platform when they know their show is ending? Because this is desperate reaching of someone who knows it doesn't matter because his show is already going away.
00:07:43
Speaker 9: And by the way, did Colbert mention? Now, I guess the numbers fluctuate. Maybe you don't have the exact figures, but I've heard as much as thirty thousand Iranian citizens have been slaughtered by their murderment, five thousand haven't been slaughtered since the war began.
00:07:58
Speaker 8: Yeah, well there you go. And this is but they.
00:08:00
Speaker 6: Trivialize everything so much. I'm like, how dare you?
00:08:04
Speaker 8: How dare you.
00:08:05
Speaker 6: Trivialize what is happening here? And yes, there is a comparison. And you know, it was so sad to hear the audience, like the little giggling laughter in the background as we're talking about World War one, World War two, the Korean War, the Vietnam War. And yes, by the way, this is the clearest mandate that we have to stop one other thing.
00:08:26
Speaker 8: Sorry, got me going.
00:08:27
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:08:28
Speaker 6: Iran has killed more Americans since the revolution in nineteen seventy nine than any other power. They're the number one sponsor of terrorism. We're coming on the twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven. Can we please have a little decency and respect.
00:08:43
Speaker 1: Now, Christian, I'm going to give Stephen Colbert a third bite at the apple. Oh no, I give him another shot. I'm a fair minded person. There are times that charm.
00:08:52
Speaker 2: There we go, let's let's see, let's find out together.
00:08:55
Speaker 3: Trump told us what we can expect next, and it was a little all over the map.
00:08:59
Speaker 10: We're going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks.
00:09:04
Speaker 2: We're going to bring them back to.
00:09:06
Speaker 10: The stone ages where they belong. In the meantime, discussions are ongoing.
00:09:11
Speaker 2: Fu huh what.
00:09:15
Speaker 11: Holy whiplashback man, Look, I got a message for doctor bone Smasher. When I meet you in.
00:09:21
Speaker 2: The ring tomorrow night, brother, I'm.
00:09:23
Speaker 11: Gonna crush your spine into a fine powder, then cut it into lines and snort it up. Also, Carol and I are doing a small brush things tomorrow at our place, and I.
00:09:33
Speaker 12: Love you to come and raise the film.
00:09:39
Speaker 1: Right oh for three two parts to this though Christian, because whether it's Casey Hunt or Kristin Welker or Caitlyn Collins or Jake Tapper or John carl all of these adversarial members of the media who don't like Donald Trump, and Trump doesn't much like them, but they'll text him, they'll call him, He'll text them, He'll call them right back. He's accessible to our news media. They've got to love it. And what would a late night show host like Stephen Colbert do without Donald Trump? Right now, let's just pretend we live in a dystopian world that never describes, and God forbid, Kamala Harris is our president right now?
00:10:15
Speaker 2: Well, what do you be joking about?
00:10:16
Speaker 9: Oh, he'd be joking a Trump because Trump would still be doing something. And when Trump was out of office for four years, all they did was Trump jokes. And when they dare to tell a Biden joke, it was, uh, he's a pretty old guy. Moving on to Trump or Tosantis or to someone. They've got a pattern, they've got a routine. By the way, the reason why Trump is hammering Iran and talking to Iran is because it improves our bargaining positions. If you're getting pummeled, you might come to the table and make an agreement. Doesn't he get that? How stupid is he?
00:10:47
Speaker 2: You know what they call that? It's a carrot and stick approach.
00:10:50
Speaker 13: Right.
00:10:51
Speaker 6: The reason why we have seen we are beginning to see actually generational global shifts. I mean, Cuba is now wanting to negotiate Venezuela, a known wanted criminal that also decimated his people.
00:11:07
Speaker 8: By the way, why are.
00:11:08
Speaker 6: They not talking about the incredibly horrific conditions of the people in Cuba, in Venezuela, in Iran? And you know what would Simon Colbert be joking about if Trump were not the White House still joking about the rest of America that disagrees with him, and he'd be mocking us. He'd be talking like we're hicks yep. And you know, he started this entire thing in the first clip you sit where he asked a question.
00:11:31
Speaker 8: Who are you?
00:11:32
Speaker 6: How about people begin to ask a real question, what do you Why would you vote for him? What is it you see that I don't see, they don't want to know. All they would do is mock and man, did they have a gold mine of material in Joe Biden and they just honestly couldn't go there.
00:11:48
Speaker 9: By the way, real quickly, Ryan, how about you have a smart Trump supporter on your show? Oh you asked him or her directly? Maybe having Secretary of Rubio on there. He would get his clock cleaned and the audience would be muted in horror as it happened. But he wouldn't dare do that because he's a bully and a coward.
00:12:08
Speaker 8: There you go. That's the Bill Maher approach.
00:12:09
Speaker 6: That's why Bill Maher will be one of the few comedians who survived this apocalypse. I'm not gonna use that word again, this terrible state that we are in in and I'm using air quotes comedy because he's one of the few that actually is willing because he's confident in his own viewpoint. He may be wrong, but he's not afraid to ask people a real question.
00:12:30
Speaker 1: Bill Maher is intellectually honest, Yes, I would put it that way, and I believe that he believes what he says. He's critical of Trump where he feels that way. He is praiseworthy of Trump when he feels that way. He had represented Lauren Bolbert not that long ago, right, And I like that he has those conversations. It makes it more interesting for the listener. For the audience, I'm quoting Steve Martin plains and audible bills that I know you kicked up on that for the listener. But another Hollywood reference here, mister toad, is what I'm thinking of, Deborah.
00:13:02
Speaker 2: You kind of turned my headlight on about this with.
00:13:06
Speaker 1: President Trump coming back in for the second term, having the four years in between and everything that Biden muddled and mucked up.
00:13:12
Speaker 2: And I'm cleaning up my language right now, but good job. I roan Cuba, Venezuela.
00:13:18
Speaker 1: This reminds me of the end of The Godfather where Michael Corleoni is settling all family business. It takes on all the other heads of the five families, and I'm here for it.
00:13:31
Speaker 8: I think that's human. Oh sorry, no, no, go ahead.
00:13:34
Speaker 2: Christian, I know, I agree.
00:13:35
Speaker 9: I mean, listen, and sometimes leaders do things that are not popular initially, but they know they have to lead and they have to have make consequences. And I think that's what Trump's are doing right now, to his credit, because this is not the move they get your poll numbers up. Going to war against Iran is not the magic elixir that he wanted point, especially during a midterm year. Yes, and yet he's doing it because he understands it's the right thing to do. Listen, Is it perfect? Could it back far? Absolutely? And history will judge him harshly on that. But everything we just talked about does matter, and he's reshaping the globe in a way that could help everyone, not just America.
00:14:12
Speaker 6: Well, and I agree, And the difference between him and Michael Corleone is he's not taking out just competition, he is actually taking out those he used to termine his speech President Trump, where it's like basically nuclear blackmail. We have been under nuclear blackmail from Iran, one of the worst actors in global history, and it's been hanging over everyone. And I do think exactly what Christian Tota said. I think President Trump actually does not. He realizes this may lose the midterms, but if he does not have the wills to finally stop this potentially existential threat of a nuclear Iran, no one else will. And I thank him for that. I'd agree with him on everything, but it takes somebody of strong will who doesn't care as much politically as he does for posterity to make this move.
00:15:01
Speaker 1: I regret to inform both of you and our audience there's one more Colbert.
00:15:05
Speaker 2: No hold on here. Oh, I want you to listen.
00:15:09
Speaker 1: I included the whole thing because this is so obviously scripted and set up and phony and fraudulent and fake. Stephen Colbert expresses amusement with Meryl Streep.
00:15:23
Speaker 2: Is is there.
00:15:23
Speaker 1: Anything else you would like to mention or talk about? Like they didn't talk about this beforehand. Give me a break, Meryl. I don't know how to put this. Yeah, but this is the interview. We've had the interview.
00:15:35
Speaker 8: I'm excused.
00:15:36
Speaker 3: No, no, I don't want it to be over. Oh is there anything that I did not ask you that you would like to touch upon having to do with the world of entertainment or movies of the world in general?
00:15:48
Speaker 5: Oh well, yes, I hope that the Same America Act, if that passes, all the married women that have changed their names are going to have to go to the registrar and proof that they are who they are.
00:16:12
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
00:16:13
Speaker 8: In other words, to.
00:16:15
Speaker 5: Your voting registrar. This is what I understand. Otherwise, when you get to the voting booth in November, you might be disqualified because your name doesn't on your birth certificate doesn't match your.
00:16:27
Speaker 8: Name the voting roles.
00:16:30
Speaker 5: So everybody has to get Oh that's terrible, and this is such a pain in the neck because you have to go. But do it because otherwise you'll be turned away. And I think that women need to be heard.
00:16:52
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Okay, hold on, hold one, you silly woman. Do you think Jonathan can show you how to do these things because you can't do it?
00:17:00
Speaker 2: You're damsel in distress?
00:17:02
Speaker 8: Well, dag on my shoe. Hope. No, I mean you know, I cannot tell you how many ways this irritates me.
00:17:07
Speaker 6: Number one, when Meryl Streep says, from what I understand, well, she obviously hasn't looked into it. And then the people who bow it have no idea what the Save America Act is either. So Number one, I can figure out my own information, and I actually do it for four people and.
00:17:25
Speaker 8: My households, thank you.
00:17:26
Speaker 6: They have their passports, their social Security cards, their driver's license because I'm just equipped enough to do that. My other chromosome does not make me less equipped to do this. The other thing that absolutely gripes my soul. When I voted for the first time my father, and I'm proud of his service. He said to me, when you do this, always remember that people fought and died for your right to vote.
00:17:50
Speaker 8: We have so cheapened that right that.
00:17:53
Speaker 6: Oh, no, Heaven forbid, I might need to change and find some documentation. First of all, you don't have to, it's not how it works. Second, we've got people in Afghanistan when they wanted to vote in twenty nine twenty fourteen, they died their finger and risk having their arm cut off by the Taliban because they valued their vote so much.
00:18:14
Speaker 8: Don't cheapen it.
00:18:15
Speaker 6: And by the way, do not patronize women and do not misrepresent the save Act.
00:18:21
Speaker 8: Okay, I'm really.
00:18:22
Speaker 2: Frustrated you are fired on Flora.
00:18:25
Speaker 8: She offended me.
00:18:25
Speaker 6: I'm not going to say offended on every front, basically, mister total.
00:18:29
Speaker 2: A couple of things.
00:18:29
Speaker 9: One, these shows do pre interviews where the guests will say, I'm going to talk about it when a vacation, talk about my movie. I've got a cute anecdote here, a little bit there This is all not scripted, per se, but it is planned. And Colbert's teeing up her rant was so awkward. I think he even felt guilty about it. And also I listened to her very carefully. She was stammering, she was stumbling as she got and root to it.
00:18:54
Speaker 2: Now.
00:18:55
Speaker 9: I don't know if that was an act because she was a great actress, that she's trying to make it sound a cat and that she's building up her outrage, but good bye, golly. First of all, you're on an entertainment talk show. Why in the world are you talking about anything except for movies and your roles and your career. What is going on this show is just I can't believe anyone listens to it.
00:19:16
Speaker 2: It Just listen.
00:19:17
Speaker 9: If this was if there was a right leading show that had this same sort of pattern, I would I would steer clear of it. It would be disgusting. Who what you don't get to point out? Who's a Trump folder? Who watches this?
00:19:28
Speaker 2: Direct? My gosh awful.
00:19:30
Speaker 1: Well, we gave Colbert a full shot for this whole segment, three clips of him wan a Meryl Streep, and I gotta say it, I tipped my hand a little bit that is our first nominee.
00:19:40
Speaker 2: For Meryl Streep. Are you kidding me?
00:19:42
Speaker 1: With how fired upfore? I got which Shatto includer? So that's nominee number one. Yes, So the rest when we come back our Friday Fool of the Week nominees after this on the right side of Hollywood, and I.
00:20:02
Speaker 13: Was thinking, you know, I'm I a US citizen and visiting Japan, and what it means is that, you know, if I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It's allegiance, meaning can they control you as a matter of law. I can also rely on them if my wallet is stolen to you know, under Japanese law, go and prosecute the person.
00:20:31
Speaker 8: Who has stolen it. So there's this relationship.
00:20:35
Speaker 13: Based on even though I'm a temporary traveler, I'm just on vacation in Japan, I'm still locally owing allegiance in that sense.
00:20:45
Speaker 8: Is that the right way to think about it?
00:20:47
Speaker 13: And if so, doesn't that explain why both temporary residents and undocumented people would have that kind of quote unquote allegiance just by virtue of being in the United States.
00:21:03
Speaker 2: How is this woman justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
00:21:06
Speaker 1: She just contradicted her argument take the undocumented part out of there, illegally in the country one point two. If I steal a wallt in Japan, win in Rome, win in Japan. When you're big in Japan, Alphaville, I'm gonna play that coming back from next break. When you're bad in Japan, you get sent packing. And Deborah, she just played herself. Because if you are the new laws in Japan, I looked them up. I talked about this earlier in the week. Right, if you were illegal in Japan, guess what, pack your bags and hit the bricks pail.
00:21:37
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, sent away.
00:21:39
Speaker 8: It is stunning to me. I mean, and the.
00:21:41
Speaker 6: Way she phrases it, is this the right way of thinking about it. I know she's putting it out there as though she's making the assumption it is.
00:21:49
Speaker 8: But I am stunned.
00:21:50
Speaker 6: I am stunned that she is a Supreme Court justice. I mean, you can have people who I think, start with the wrong set of facts and come up with the wrong inclusion, but at least they have thought it through with intellectual integrity. She is saying a tourist basically has the rights of citizenship wherever they travel. So I'm going to like, let's say I go travel to you know, somewhere in Europe.
00:22:13
Speaker 8: Am I going to say, Hey, I'm here on vacation.
00:22:15
Speaker 6: I want to run for the head of state for your country because now I have that right. It is it is lacking any intellectual rigor.
00:22:25
Speaker 8: And I don't even know what to say. I'm seeing her thing.
00:22:29
Speaker 6: I wish I had a camera and I could have pictured and turned it to the look of the attorney she was tied to that moment, who would have been looking at her like, Uh, I'm sorry, what did you just say? I mean that that's comedy. By the way, that is comedy. Where is Sarah live when you meet him?
00:22:45
Speaker 2: Yes, what a great point, mister tuttle Well.
00:22:47
Speaker 9: I have to vehemently disagree, because what she does by being on the Supreme Court is show every little boy and girl you can be as dumb as a box or fox and still rise to the highest court in the land.
00:22:59
Speaker 2: And I think that is really inspiring. And so I find her a figure of great inspiration.
00:23:05
Speaker 6: As a box of rocks, Oh Christian, this is not your inspiration.
00:23:09
Speaker 1: KBJ joins the aforementioned Meryl Street before the break. Don't forget about her? Don't you forget about Meryll? Two nominees for Full of the Week. We're gonna keep going another in a different realm, waiting into the political waters.
00:23:24
Speaker 2: And why we.
00:23:25
Speaker 1: Said this about Meryl Streep Here goods, good old Chuck, the round mound of rebound, Charles Barkley spurned on by Nate Burlison, who I've really become disappointed with, former Detroit Lions receiver now on the CBS Morning Show, Haven't Liberal and let's go to this.
00:23:42
Speaker 12: I want to be very careful with my words right now, okay, because.
00:23:48
Speaker 2: This is a really touchy subject for me.
00:23:50
Speaker 12: Why I love that kid and his family, but the way somebody's the immigrants again treated in our country right now, there's a travesy and a disgrace. I think there's a difference between amazing immigrants and criminal immigrants. And I think what's going on in our country, what we're doing in some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it's really sad. And that's a great immigrant story. We have a lot of great immigrant stories out there who these stories need to be told, But some of this stuff that's happening to immigrants in our country right now, it's really unfortunate and it's really unfair. But immigrants built this country and we should admire them and respect.
00:24:47
Speaker 1: Them all right now, Christian, I want to ask, say, Cindy Romero about illegal immigrants in this country. I want to ask the family of Lincoln Riley, or Joscelyn Nungary or any of the myriad women who been raped murdered by illegal aliens, criminal elements that are in this country.
00:25:05
Speaker 2: What is Charles talking about here?
00:25:07
Speaker 9: Listen, I mean, he's conflating illegal and legal immigrants. It's what everyone on the left does.
00:25:12
Speaker 2: It is exhausting.
00:25:13
Speaker 9: Listen, at the end of the day, there are people who got into this country illegally who probably are decent and kind and hardworking and in theory could be wonderful productive members of our country. But they've gone about it the absolute wrong way. That's what's going on right now. We had a former president who just opened the gates and let everyone in, and we don't know who would sign the guest book, who was good, who was bad, and who was in between. So this is sort of a kumbaya I wish the world were a better place kind of sentiment. And it's not nearly as hateful as some of the other stuff or as dumb as other stuff we've heard on the show. But the same time, it's just conflating all these different things, and we're not, you know, throwing them into the gulag or punishing them or brutalizing them. We're telling, hey, you got to go. I'm sorry, you've got to go. And I imagine if they go away and they come back and they do it legally, we'd love them and welcome with open arms. That's what the situation is. And I think what Charles Barkley is doing is just letting his emotions get the better of them.
00:26:09
Speaker 6: CEB Yeah, exactly. I mean the reality is it's time to challenge people of this theory and say, let me just ask you a question. Do you believe that we have a right to decide who's in our country? Do we actually have laws that say this is how you enter our country legally?
00:26:24
Speaker 8: Because, by the way, we.
00:26:26
Speaker 6: Have less stringent laws than many many other countries you mentioned Japan and other laws like that you have to go through a whole lot to go into their countries and you would be arrested right away if you did it illegally. And this conflation of criminality, what does that mean? No, not everyone did horrible things like what happened to Lake and Ryan all of that, but there are different levels of criminality. Entering illegally is still a criminal act, or if you really don't think it should be, then work on changing the laws. But as Christian said very well, we are not treating these people horribly in any way. Yes, if you committed a crime, you're about to be arrested and then deported. The rest were just saying, please go back to your home and if you want to come back, do it the correct way. We have to finally have this decision. We are a country of borders and if we're we're not really a country at all.
00:27:20
Speaker 1: Bingo Charles Barkley, Well, that missed him that whole analysis, but maybe he'll hear it from somebody I don't know. He joins our list of Fool the Week nominees, along with Justice Kintanji Brown Jackson, and Meryl Streep. And then finally this one, perhaps the Kuda Rage. She is the first Lady of California. Jennifer Siebel Newsome and she's talking to Jensaki here about visiting zoo animals in the South with her kids. Oh no, wait, they're Red State voters. Let's hear what she had to say.
00:27:51
Speaker 8: You took your four kids on this trip. You're here in Alabama.
00:27:54
Speaker 13: Now, why was it important to you to take them on this trip to Red States and learn.
00:27:58
Speaker 8: About the history and our c That's a great question.
00:28:01
Speaker 14: Well, I don't think or I know for a fact that we don't get all of this history in our schools.
00:28:10
Speaker 8: And it's part of and you.
00:28:12
Speaker 14: Know, enlivening them, building their curiosity, expanding their hearts, their empathy so that they themselves can be the change they wish to see in the world and recognize that, you know, we have work to do and that we have healings to do, and so that they can be, you know, use their voices to stand out and speak out when they see pain and suffering and bullying and racism and misogyny around them, and we.
00:28:41
Speaker 8: Want them to see it so that they know I do. I am the truth seeker. They need to know the truth.
00:28:49
Speaker 2: Really, she just painted the entire South with one house.
00:28:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what, you know what is said to me. I'm listening to her voice and she sounds authentic to me. She is the perfect example of how the left ideology weaponizes compassion. She it sounds like she has compassion, but they have weaponized her compassion and pointed in the wrong direction. I lived in California for a little while, and man was at my temporary and sanity period.
00:29:16
Speaker 8: You know, KLA's got his issues.
00:29:17
Speaker 6: But boy did I see plenty of sexism in Hollywood? Boy did I see plenty of racism when now, if you are a white, straight person in a studio system like my husband was, you are not seeing the same as someone who has other sorts of you know, identity factors factored in. To say that she had to take her children to Red States to observe sexism and racism is in and of itself collective judgment. But what I think is really bad is I think she sounds like probably a really I have no reason to judge that she's not compassionate her her compassion was weaponized and was not added to critical thinking. At the same time, it's unfortunate.
00:30:01
Speaker 2: Christian final word.
00:30:02
Speaker 9: I mean, what she said was so hateful to Alabama, and I assuming beyond that scope. It's hard to believe in the sane world those quotes would almost would almost kill his presidency that his wife would say something like that. And by the way, she sounds exactly like Gavin Newsom. This word salady. It sounds intellectual, but it's actually shallow deep it is. I mean, they are a perfect match. And I don't say that as a compliment.
00:30:29
Speaker 6: And one thing I want to add to that, By the way, this woman, I think would like to be First Letty of the United States, and she is complete disdain and discussed for states that she thinks are really morally reprehensible. I'm sorry, that's a really hard way to say, you want to be first Letty the entire United States.
00:30:46
Speaker 1: She did not do Gavin Newsom any favors when it comes to the electoral map or the electoral map in running for president, because I got to tell you, flyover country, the unwashed, the Upper Midwest, the rust Belt, the very states the Democrats need to win, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania. Wave goodbye to those of Gavin Newsom's the nominee. And here's another reason why Jennifer Seebel Newsome, first Lady of California, Charles Barkley kb J Meryl Streep, who will be our fool of the Week? Stay tuned, you'll find out next and you can vote five seven, seven, three nine. Send those along as we wind things down on this edition on the right side of Hollywood.
00:31:27
Speaker 13: And I was thinking, you know, I'm i US citizen, am visiting Japan, and what it means is that, you know, if I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It's allegiance, meaning can they control you as a matter of law. I can also rely on them if my wallet is stolen to you know, under Japanese law, go and prosecute the person who has stolen it.
00:32:01
Speaker 8: So there's this relationship.
00:32:03
Speaker 13: Based on even though I'm a temporary traveler, I'm just on vacation in Japan, I'm still locally owing allegiance in that sense.
00:32:14
Speaker 8: Is that the right way to think about it?
00:32:16
Speaker 13: And if so, doesn't that explain why both temporary residents and undocumented people we have that kind of quote unquote allegiance just by virtue of being in the United States.
00:32:31
Speaker 1: Now that stakes were high, we had a split vote, but at the photo finish this texter KBJ flogging idiot, and then this texter don't forget turning Japanese by the vapors. Indeed, we pointed out the absolute contradiction in her statement there because she kind of slides in that undocumented immigrants. Well again we talked about what happens to so called undocumented immigrants in Japan. You go away, heybe congratulations, Deborah, are Fool of the week.
00:33:02
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what I have to say.
00:33:03
Speaker 6: The thing about KBJ is it really concerns me that someone who tasked with that holding the Constitution of the United States of America, if she goes to Japan, does she shift and uphold the documents of Japan.
00:33:14
Speaker 8: I mean, where is her.
00:33:15
Speaker 6: Allegiance and all of this? So, boy, she sure was a tough you know runner. I also have to say Meryl Streep was my choice because she not only denigrated our right to vote and demeaned it, she also absolutely you know, was condescending to me as a woman and every woman out there who's very capable of getting any paperwork together.
00:33:33
Speaker 8: So there we go. It was tough, it you made it tough, risk Yep.
00:33:37
Speaker 1: Final minute of play Christian, you voted for a third candidate. That tells you how well spread out the nominees were.
00:33:42
Speaker 2: This thing, Yeah it was.
00:33:43
Speaker 9: I voted for the future president's way.
00:33:46
Speaker 1: Oh god, it's not the future president.
00:33:50
Speaker 2: By the way.
00:33:51
Speaker 9: I worry about my sobriety being on this show week after week.
00:33:53
Speaker 2: These schools.
00:33:54
Speaker 9: They are driving me to drink and it must be five o'clock somewhere because I need a stiff one eye.
00:33:59
Speaker 2: I just this is I can't go through this sober. I'm sorry.
00:34:02
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Christian. Tell the good people what you're working on at hollywoodintoto dot com.
00:34:07
Speaker 9: Yeah, I got new pieces about Bruce Springsteen and Jane Fond at Hollywood in Toto and the newest podcast Talk To Kurt Schlichtor asked them some tough questions about some of those conservative pundits who.
