Even though it's on the wall, it's still hard for me to remember the number. 9562, I say. Feel free to call in and get involved in the conversation. We are joined today. It's been a while, but comedian Chris Z, co-host of Registered Ear Offenders right here on this network. How are you, buddy? Hi, everybody. Thanks for having me. Hi, Dr. Nick. And our returning champion, comedian, actor Jeff Hendrick. How are you? How are everybody? Hi. First day of Sunday football. I'm a little excited. Trying to get my voice back. I apologize for this. I had a bunch of campers who thought it was a good idea to get their old counselor 17 years later drunk. And I'm still recovering from that. It's been like three days. But before we move on. I'll let you know. I'll let you know what we're talking about. We're going to we're going to talk about the Arizona Papers, please. Although I feel like I should be saying that in a German accent. There's been a breakthrough in DNA research, although I already bought the last theory. So I wish they would just stop learning shit. There is a ruling came in the Fort Hood case. And that ruling is the defendant is too damn hairy. So we'll we'll talk about that and why that case isn't moving forward. There's been a verdict in the Drew Peterson case. We will talk about. This is where Scientologists meet dot com. That should be a site probably. And I'm going to get your guys Super Bowl predictions, which nobody should put money on. And let's start, however, by the fact that the Democratic National Convention happened this week. It was their turn basically to spend a lot of money to nominate a guy we already knew was nominated. Let's hear how Obama did. Well, let's not hear how Obama did. So. We're going to fact check. We're going to fact check. I tell I tell my man that it is not working. No, we're not going to fact check. We're not going to let fact check fact checkers impede our campaign. Or facts. Yeah. Yeah. That is that was said. Common knowledge. That was said once. But but, you know, the the Romney campaign did say that that line, Chris, right there, that they will not let it. They will not let it be. Fact checkers dictate. Their campaign, which is nice. But right now we're getting no audio. So I don't let the age of consent. My choice apart. So did you guys watch it? You guys watch the speeches? Yeah. The the irony that I thought it was mentioned once on MSNBC because, you know, it's the liberal news network. They did all this in a nonunion right to work state. I have to tell you, Bill Clinton, man. He's still got it. So I actually stood up in my own living room and applauded. Good. I was by myself. Yeah. He he's he's probably one of our better speakers in the last 25 years politically. The guy. Yeah. Can crush it. Yeah. He was he was phenomenal. He was phenomenal. I mean, Obama got back into preach mode and that was awesome. You know, I love when he does that as well. But and I love that he's he's not just not, you know, committed to this. I won't be negative at all anymore. Like, do you hear the part where he said? It's something the effect of like, how can you be, you know, how can you be in charge of national defense when you think Russia is our biggest ally? Yeah. When you insult our our our number one ally in the world. Yeah. Go over there and you almost immediately upon arrival insult them. The the the reason you're getting that, especially from the Romney campaign, is that 17 out of his 25 foreign policy advisers are old Bush people and the old Bush people. They're all gold cold warriors. So they're all stuck on this Russia, the big, bad, evil red bear. And like, dude died years ago. What was that? The wall went down. What? Ninety one. Let it go, man. Yeah, exactly. I remember the remember the USSR. That shit, that shit just broke my heart, man. You got to let it go. Like you imagine these guys sitting on their porch with, you know, rifles going, the commies are coming. I know they're coming. This is yes, I can. That's the sad part. Now, since since we had that after the Republican National Convention and there's been a whole lot of talk about let's fact check some shit. They're big on that. Since Paul Ryan might have said a couple of truthful things. They fact checked Obama first. I got to be honest. There's a few things here, but compared to the shit that was being said the other way, this is more of a this is they even start it with. Well, there's no lies. There's no outright fibs, but, you know, he did what politicians do. You're like, well, yeah, that would make sense. Embellished or omitted. Yes. How did we get to the point where we are now? We're yeah, you know, we pat ourselves on the back. Thank you for not outright lying. Like, how is. That a big deal? I didn't you know, I didn't tell a huge lie today. I just love. I did hear this part that Ryan's claim about having run the marathon. Oh, my God. Yeah. Was what Lance Armstrong did. That was his time. Apparently, at some point, Lance Armstrong ran a marathon and he clocked in at the time that Paul Ryan claimed. So do we take away one of Paul Ryan's testicles at this point? Is that all right? No. What? Excuse me. The thing that drives me nuts about that is not that I think lying, by the way, about anyone I didn't know. Paul Ryan was asked about his. Marathon time and then was caught lying about it for like an hour. Yeah. Like an hour under. But now the thing is, is not that I would think I don't think anybody believes that would matter with the exception of the stupidity of lying in that scenario. Well, on top of that, you've also you've lost the long distance runner vote right there. You're done. I know it sounds like like I'm kind of being facetious for humor's sake here, but I genuinely have come to believe that Republicans don't understand video and how it works. Like the immediacy of. Being able to get caught in what you just said. Right. The fact that you can replay it. They don't seem to. You know what I mean? They seem to think it's still like, you know, when they used to talk on the front steps of the White House, you know, they could say whatever they wanted. Right. You know, because it only reached, you know, maybe a mile in each direction. And so here are the four main things that they got that they said Obama needed to be fact checked on. OK. One is his claim that in the last year we cut oil imports by one million barrels a day more than any administration in recent history. That. There's not. Really. There's not really that much of an argument about that. But he said we've opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration in three years and we'll open more. Fair enough. Republicans have noted that most of that domestic oil production actually took place on private land. It wasn't the government doing it. And oil production on federal lands fell for crude oil production fell 14 percent. However, still balance it out. Fair enough. But, you know, misleading. Misleading. Fine. But we're kind of we're splitting oily covered hairs. Yes. You know, and that was my point earlier is, hey, hey, well, we can find things that seem liish. Oh, it's on the ground. He said four years ago, I promised to end the war in Iraq. We did. Fair enough. However, that actual date was set before he got into office. Right. And we still have quite a few people kind of still. I mean, well, yes, but I will say this. Yes. Along those lines is apparently nowadays ending a war doesn't mean the same thing. Ending the war used to mean. Like everybody got the hell out. Yeah. Yeah. Now it's like we end the war, but we're going to need to keep people here for approximately ever. That happens. You have to staff the bowling alley and the two Burger Kings in the green zone. Yes. Yeah. I mean, the cost of education. He said millions of students are paying less for college today because we took on a system that wasted billions of taxpayer dollars on banks and lenders. And he did save college students some money with student loans and things along those lines. However, college education still cost of that has jumped 15 percent. So he saved them some money. But it still went up. So misleading. But I mean, I don't really know if you can call a lie if you're saying, well, he's not trying to point out bad shit about himself. That's not really necessarily a lie. He didn't claim that. It's not the sin of omission, as it used to be called. Let me play devil's advocate here. Doesn't doesn't college tuition go up every year out of control anyway? Is he in any way responsible? Can he can any logical person hold him responsible for the fact that colleges consistently up their tuition disproportionately? Just about any other? Well, if you listen to the Republicans, they're looking to go back to the 1950s. So apparently that's the price they'd like to go back to as well. Are you kidding me? It was like 19 cents a unit in 1950. I'd love for college. That'd be great. Maybe I'm not sufficiently familiar with the topic at hand, but I thought Republicans like health care wanted to limit access to those with the money to afford it. That's that's their solution. You can't afford it. You can't afford it. Yeah. Well, that is. Well, then eventually they feel those people die off and then you have the rich. So there you go. Trimming the deficit. He also said the fourth one. Obama said independent experts say my plan would cut our deficit by four trillion dollars. A trillion of that is in cuts already made and hundreds of billions he's projecting and saving, you know, and stopping the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Other people will say, first of all, it's over 10 years. He didn't say that. And also it's a lot of the money in those wars were borrowed. So it's not like you leave those wars and go, hey, now we have to pay for it. You have a bunch of money. You still have to borrow in order to do shit. OK, but compared to what we'll get to after we do Biden's fact check, it will go. We'll take another quick peek at Paul Ryan's nonsense. But, you know, the funny thing to me about conventions in the first place is what does it do? We already know Obama's elected. We knew I'm sorry, was nominated. We knew Romney's nominated. They used to do things. Yes. The last time there was a brokered convention, last time they went to a convention and said, hey, we're not sure yet who's going to win it. Right. The Republicans, Thomas Dewey, 1948. Yeah. And Adlai Stevenson, Democrats, 1952. Now, Gus, the candidates, like maybe two or three foremost candidates all come to the conventions. And then based on how they presented themselves to the audience, then they would select the one. I believe it was arm wrestling. Oh, wow. I wouldn't have guessed that. No, no. It was huge. Huge forearms, by the way, on Howard Taft. Very few people know that. Yeah. Very. And. Very few people remember the 1932 Republican Thunderdome convention where five candidates enter, one candidate leaves. They had a great movie about that. Great movie about that. No, I mean, it was they would go there and then they would they would debate. As a matter of fact, you know, there was a point during prohibition where there was such, you know, they were so divided that they they said, OK, this guy is pro, you know, prohibition. This guy is against prohibition. Yeah. And they kept going. Yeah. And they ended up going with a third. Party, because those two could not agree. So they went with the we'll go with this guy in the middle after hours and hours and hours. So, you know, it was. I think we need more political parties. I would like to see the Bull Moose Party come back in. Let's bring the Federalists back. The Whigs. Come on. The Whigs. The Bull Moose. I'm a little cartoony. I'm a little cartoony. I actually won with the Bull Moose Party. It's a little cartoony for me, but I like it. Yeah. Being from Florida, I'm trying to revive the Conk Republic movement. Nice. Did you did you see Biden speak? He was also surprisingly good. He was. Not a lot of gaffes. No, I expected at least one F-bombing. No. I expected one F-bomb. I was a little disappointed. I got to say, Biden's gotten a free ride up until now. Because really up until only I'd say as of late have people really begun to kind of give him the ribbing he deserves for some of his verbal gaffes. Well, I mean, I don't know. I think he's always fallen under the I mean, he is the running vice presidential joke. Not that he has done a whole. But I mean, other than gaffes. But I'm saying they basically have a preset series of jokes for Dan Quayle and a bunch of leftover ones from then. And they just whoever's the name. That's what I'm saying. Whoever's in there. Like, can we still use a Murphy Brown joke? No. All right. Well, shit, we got to update it. Somebody just literally erased the name. I'd like to condemn. Insert name here. So Biden said, fact check me. He said, fact check me. And so they did. Oops. Not not as bad also, as you would think, compared to compared to his opponent, his VP opponent. The Associated Press pointed out. Oh, yeah. I mean, even that's not bad. Biden's argument, the worst job loss since the Great Depression. We created four point five million private sector jobs in the last twenty nine months. Their argument about how he led people is saying, well, he's counting it from its lowest point. But before that, when he first got into office, you know, there were a lot of jobs being lost as well. Like, yeah. Again. Yeah. We're splitting hairs on that. Yeah. I mean, that's it's not like I mean, that being said, there are, according to them, roughly seven point five million jobs that were still lost during the recession between 2007, 2009. But the same thing that I said about the Republicans, you can't. It's one thing to lie. It's another thing to give them shit about. You want to fact check him on lies. Great. You want to fact check people on saying, hey, you didn't point out this bad thing about you. It's a pepper out. It's a pepper out. You don't. I don't expect that. I didn't. I didn't expect, you know, I didn't expect that. That's why I thought Romney did fine. I thought you don't expect, you know, I'm not looking for info out of that. What shocked me about Romney's speech was no mention of troops, a mention of war, no mention of the fact we're still in conflict and we have U.S. citizens losing their lives. Plenty of mention of God, though. And that that's how I that's how I pick the winner. Whatever party mentions God more in their convention speeches. Yeah. Well, that you should be voting for the pope. Yeah. And we're going to get to that. Actually, because there is a there's there was a big problem with them. The Democrats booing at your convention. I mean, great speeches. You got Bill Clinton. He gave a phenomenal speech, which was 10 minutes longer than actual Obama's speech, by the way. Right. 20 minutes over his time, too. Yes. There was a guy with a light like it's a cut in his neck. I'm staging our candidate for typical feature act, man, trying to go after the headliner. I'm killing it up here. I can't get off. So funny. So funny. He was so smooth. Good night, everybody. He was so smooth. He's in better shape than he was when he was president. It's true, actually. He's vegan, they say. Oh, that is. He's the one vegan these days. He's just sleeping with vegetarians. What? Nice. So, I mean, compared to those lies, compared to like this one, like, hey, they said General Motors. Obama said General Motors is back on top. Wrong. It slipped back to number two. That's the fact check. So they get him on. They get him on. Compared to all of Paul Ryan's points. Let me throw this out, Gus, because I saw there was this kind of one of these guys who's like disturbingly right wing on the Internet. And he said that GM is going bankrupt because somebody wrote, you know, GM is doing well. And this guy countered with GM is going bankrupt. Where do you get your information from? The rest of the world? No, that would be news to that would be certainly news to me. That would be news to the news? Yes, of course. Yes. Yeah. Be news to GM. According to this, GM has just according to fact check, they are saying Obama was misleading because it's no longer on top. It's now slipped back to number two in the world. Right. Unbelievable. So, yeah, poor bastard. The depth of his lies. Yeah. Which blows my mind. But now the Clinton speech, obviously, he went on. Fantastic. Those two were not known to be great friends, but he went on and he he knocked it out of the park. Yeah. He was he was taking all the Republicans points and basically just knocking them down. But beforehand, there was a vote because apparently during the platform, they when re re writing the platform for this year, they decided to or accidentally supposedly omitted any reference to God and any reference to Jerusalem being the capital of Israel. And that was in the last one. So, Chris, this is going to be my opportunity to call you anti-Semitic, by the way, so you can get in here on the Jerusalem thing. But no, I mean, it's not like we live in a free country that has religious freedom. I mean, you're obligated to make references to God, aren't you? We live in a multicultural society where you're allowed to worship whoever you want or not. Well, the crazy thing is that when they realized it and the Republicans started, you know, they knew that the Republicans were going to jump all over this. What they ended up doing was Obama went, put that shit back in there. So they have to get two thirds vote, but they don't have to take a full vote. They can do it by, you know. Yay and nay. Yes. So while they're there. Now, keep in mind, the place is far from full. So it's basically like, hey, let's vote among the people who are here early. And he says, and we have an audio clip of this, but right now we're not going to hear it. So I may ask you guys to reenact it. Was this Mayor Villaraigosa? Yes. Taking the vote? Yes. So he asked. Exactly. So he basically said, here, we're going to put God in. We're going to put the reference to Jerusalem back in. And he said, you know, aye for in favor. And there was, they screamed. Aye. Against. Nay. Sounded almost the same. Well. Well done, sir. So there's no, there's no end to this man's range, by the way. So he's getting ready. Now he needs two thirds to okay it. So he goes, okay. And you, he pauses like, I'm going to do that again. Okay. Yes. And against. Nay. Yeah. We got sounds the same again. Is this the same guy out there? Are you voting twice? So he turns around and a woman next to him says, you got to let him do what, you know, they're going to do. So he goes, and you can hear him trying to lead them. I will do this. A third. A third time. All in favor. Yay. All against. Yay. And the motion is passed. That is what he did. You went, wait, what? That was two thirds? Sounds like it's two thirds to me, Bob. Yes. What? Now, now, I mean, there was a group of, uh, that held signs that were Arab Americans for, uh, for the democratic party. And they obviously were not for the, Hey, what's with the Jerusalem thing? I don't know what was more getting more boot. I'm assuming it was the Jerusalem thing from certain groups. Then the God references. Yeah. Good. Uh, I did want to ask you, uh, I'm unfamiliar with that part of the speech that required or made mention of Jerusalem. What, what was the point? What was the context? Um, was it at all necessary? Uh, no, they wanted to put it, they wanted to put it into the official democratic. Well, it was already in there. It was in there last time. It was in there last time. It was not this time. So no, they were both out there last time, but they didn't want to, they didn't want to appear like, Oh, we're pulling this out, giving the Republicans the opportunity to say, you see, he doesn't support them. And that, that's the problem. Is it some kind of gambit to curry favor with, with people that typically would vote a Republican because they support Israel? Well, what it is is there's for the peace process, the supposed last, one of the last negotiations of the peace process to Palestinian state also wants Jerusalem as once part of Jerusalem as their capital. So it's their Kashmir, right? Now we don't even have our embassy in Jerusalem, by the way, it's in Tel Aviv and we haven't moved it to Jerusalem yet. Um, however, what the hell does that have to do? That's a different country. I don't understand. Like is Jerusalem like, what if they were like, and we also were all. All for Oslo remaining the capital. Like who gives a shit that has nothing to do with this country. Are you fact checking? No, I try not to do any of that. Um, but obviously that doesn't much matter to that. And the fact that God was not, uh, was not mentioned last, last time it was mentioned quote, they want to call for a government that quote, gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God given potential. The fact that that wasn't mentioned freaked people out. Like, Oh shit. Romney said on Fox news after that, that since they didn't mention God, the party is quote veering. Further and further into an extreme wing. I love how somehow Romney has been, uh, co-opted by the right as just being one of their own. This guy's a Mormon. This is the second craziest religion in comparison to Scientology. And they just like, they, they, they want to love him so much that they pretend they're not bothered by it. Um, they're, they're not the least bit bothered by his magic underwear or the fact that his grandfather had 14 Latino wives or, I mean, this is insanity. Yeah. Well, I also, I like the fact that we're becoming, uh, they're becoming an extreme wing that the rest of America doesn't recognize because when discussing a document about governing, they didn't mention a magical being who created the world in six days and then needed to rest because that guy wasn't brought into your governing documents. You are extreme. Now, you know, I was raised in a kind of very religious, I was raised Roman Catholic at home. I was educated Southern Baptist well into my teens. I was raised in a kind of religious, I was raised Roman Catholic at home. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. that expression until he learned it all. That blows my mind. It absolutely blows my mind. That is extreme. You did not use... Oh, Jesus, my back. Dad. What did Jesus say when he hurt his back? They should have opened the speech with, God, God, God, God, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns. 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, abortion, 9-11, 9-11. Yeah, exactly. So, all right, let's move on to Arizona. Let's move on to the other side of the... Oh, let's not. It's not stupid there. You're white. You can go to Arizona. You're fine. You know what's funny? Whenever I think of Arizona, I always think of the Wild West. You know, it's kind of the 1800s. Right. And really, it's legitimate now. Yeah, it is. It's right for me. A federal judge has... Oh, here we go. We got some audio clips, ladies and gentlemen. A federal judge has ruled the most controversial part of Arizona's immigration bill could go into effect within weeks. Critics say this portion of SB10... SB1070 will spark racial profiling. Here's KTVK. 2B, the so-called show-me-your-papers provision, will allow officers to ask about a person's immigration status during a legal traffic stop or other detention if they have reasonable suspicion. KNXV reports it's the reasonable suspicion part that has opponents upset. They argue it's not clear what counts as reasonable. The problem here is Latino groups don't know how exactly officers are going to determine that kind of thing. I don't know. They are now worried that cops are going to stop them. Simply because of the color of their skin. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the provision back in June after striking down most other parts of the immigration law. On Wednesday, the federal judge said she would follow the Supreme Court's lead, arguing it was no longer possible to block the law without hard evidence of civil rights abuses. Like the Supreme Court, the judge left open the possibility of blocking the law if civil rights violations do occur. KPNX reports opponents think they'll have no problem finding examples of racial profiling to take to the courts. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. KPNX reports. has stopped. So if they basically pull somebody over and that guy is chugging tequila and wearing an enormous sombrero, hey, okay, easy enough. Firing pistols in the air? Hey, cartoon Mexican guy, can I see your papers? He's got in the back, he's got a grill, bacon wrap, hot dogs, every stereotype in one car. Can I see your papers? Can I see your papers? They're under my 75 kids. Hold on one second. Until that cartoon guy is there, they're, yeah, I don't understand how you're not going to profile. So they said, once that happens, then they have cases, then they can bring it up and then they can try to strike it down. Hey, speedy. The ironic thing is, they can't catch him, though. That's the good thing. The ironic thing is that it was already, they were already, if the crime was serious enough, they already check your papers. I mean, that's, that was not uncommon. That's what was going to happen. Forget uncommon, that's what happens. Now they can do it for a traffic stop. So it's basically akin to the voter suppression effort where there's absolutely no provable need for it. There's no precedent. There's no issue at hand. That's not true. They're brown people in Arizona. We don't want them there, Chris. There are a shitload of people in Arizona who are not legally in Arizona. That doesn't mean, however, that based, I mean, when you're saying, well, if they don't look like they belong here, what are you basing that on? Other than that cartoon we just talked about. Somebody from Beverly Hills drives to Arizona. How do you think the last of the Native Americans feel when this thing came up? Hey, papers, please. White man. I'm part of a protest movement when I drive through Arizona. I use the word about and out a lot just to kind of provoke them into checking my papers. Canada? Canada. I don't know how they're going to blame this on the Mexicans, but somebody apparently has stolen Mitt Romney's tax returns. An anonymous group is claiming to have stolen Mitt Romney's tax returns. You can't blame it on Assange. He's still in the Ecuadorian embassy, so they can't do that. And you can't blame it on Bradley Manning because he's still being held 23 hours in a solitary cell. I've never been more proud of my parents' home country than after they granted Julian Assange asylum. Yeah? Well, he's going to get out eventually. I mean, he's going to get, well, who knows? Who knows? Maybe the better chance it's a reality show if it was happening in the States. They would just bring a camera crew into the embassy and be like, hey, Julian Assange and Snooki in an embassy for three months. Not a lot happens, huh? Yeah, three words for you on that one. Honey boo boo. Let's not make fun of the children because there's nothing else to say about that shit without making fun of the children. But the Secret Service and FBI are investigating a case where basically an anonymous group said they burglarized PricewaterhouseCoopers accounting office and got Romney's tax returns for two decades. They're saying if they don't get a million dollars in Bitcoin internet currency, they're going to release it. Now, here's the thing. I don't even understand what the hell that means. I couldn't pay these people. I'm like, you can't make up currency. Yes, they can. Isn't that what you used to pay for a haircut? Larry Flint's putting up an ad supposedly in USA Today and the Washington Post offering up to a million dollars for documented evidence of Romney's tax returns. So these two things should work out well, should they not? This guy wants to be paid a million dollars? I don't know. Larry Flint's going to wheel. He wants to see him, but he wants him naked. The pornographers here. I can't see bubble gum. Unbelievable. Breakthrough in DNA. Let's listen to this. This is science on a grand scale. Hundreds of researchers across the world working towards one goal. Cataloging all the DNA sequences in the human genome to find out how active they really are. What was published today was essentially a first draft of the genome's operating system. The circuitry and switches that control how genes are switched on and off in different cells in the body. But what's been discovered is turning science on its head. Researchers thought most DNA was useless junk. Now it appears it's not. Very little of our genomes are junk. 80% of the genome is engaged in at least one biochemical activity. For a large fraction of the genome, not now 5%, but 80% of the genome, we can say we know that it does something. Researchers discover DNA is busy running genes, telling millions of them when to switch on and off. We can actually use this information to gain insights into basic biological processes and into the genetic changes that predispose to disease. Okay, so a note for the religious right, by the way. Just because I don't fully understand this doesn't mean it's not real. I wish... I wish... I wish Adam were still around to explain this to us. I, uh... How... I think you're just guessing when you just... What we used to think that most of our DNA was junk. It couldn't possibly mean anything that it's part of the coding of how we make people. Most of it's... We figured out this part of it, but the other part we haven't figured out yet must mean nothing. The other day I popped the hood on my car and there was all this junk underneath. I started ripping out shit because I figured I can't use all of it, right? Just the big thing in the middle that makes the burring noise. I got good news and better news. I put your car together and the better news is I got extra pieces left. That's nice. I mean, I don't... Hard to fully understand what the hell they're talking about, but it does seem to be a complete, like... They seem to be... They're looking at this and saying this should help them figure out now why certain people get diabetes, asthma, hardening of arteries, because... What turns on cancer cells. Right, exactly. And it seems to be that these things will turn... Basically, they said it's like there's a whole bunch of switches in your body that get turned on and off at the appropriate time. That's what all this other stuff is. It's the big switchboard. Is the idea that maybe many, many years ago, you know, these functions actually used to serve a purpose, perhaps even beneficial to the human body, but over time, you know, they've kind of become counterproductive? I mean, if you know what cancer is, they say it's the abnormal... The abnormal growth of cells. So it's almost like it doesn't... I don't think cancer intends to be malevolent. No, it's just... It's unchecked growth. Right, yeah. You know, it doesn't realize that it's destroying you. Right. You're saying someone just needs to sit cancer down and talk to it. Is that what you're claiming? Are you a doctor? Holy shit, I had no idea. I watch a lot of House. Carcinoma? Carcinoma, could you please have a seat? We have some things to talk to you about. That sounds like a Ricky Lake episode, actually. We've let this go too far. Well, then let's move on to the Bin Laden book. Who's cancer's daddy? No Easy Day, the book about the Bin Laden raid, came out this week. Certainly not an easy day for him. Trouble may be brewing for a former U.S. Navy SEAL who penned his account of the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden. Written under the pseudonym Mark Owen, No Easy Day is a memoir of the operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan that ended in Osama Bin Laden's death. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. That's the book. announced that it was considering legal action against Bissonette for breaking non-disclosure agreements. No Easy Day, published by Dutton Penguin, was released today and is already a bestseller, having topped the wildly successful Fifty Shades of Grey on Amazon. Isn't that great? Can you imagine if they had a book about soldiers having kinky sex? Bestseller, dude. From pornography for women to pornography for men. Yes. Fifty Shades of Obama. Fifty Shades of Bin Laden. Fifty, good God. Really, it took out Fifty Shades of Grey? That's hilarious. Yeah. That is amazing. I mean, do you guys have a problem with him writing this book? No. I do. You do? I mean, it really is way too soon. I mean, we have things like the... You got a problem with the time frame of what she's doing. Yeah, correct. I mean, it's one thing if he was the only person involved, but if his identity is reversed, it seems more likely that the identities of other people involved could be revealed. Right, but he didn't reveal his identity in the book. No, but... Fox News did that for him. Yeah, but he put... To some degree, you put that out there. You invite the scrutiny by writing a fucking book. And may I say this along those lines as well, Chris, is I don't have a problem with the time frame as much as what you're saying there. He put himself out there, even though he didn't use his real name, he put himself out there when he didn't have a legal right to write that book without at least... He put himself out there without the Pentagon looking at it first. If you... Here's the thing is... Yeah, because he did sign... I'm sure he signed a nondisclosure of some sort when he joined the SEAL team. And if you're whistleblowing, and then you're not just writing a book for profit. If you're whistleblowing because something's going on, then that may be... You may be going through different channels. However, if you're writing a book because you're not happy with certain things, and even though you... I mean, you're a fucking Navy SEAL. You know what? You probably have given up certain rights to give out information. Yeah. Now, I mean, certain information has come out like, you know, obviously people said the original story was bin Laden was resisting. Now it looks like he was basically peeking out his door and got shot in the head. And then they ran in there while he was convulsing and shot him. Hello, who's there? Ah! Pizza already? Yeah, that sounds a lot like the LAPD format, you know? Blam! Blam! Blam! That's actually what they did. LAPD? They just sent in typical uniformed LAPD officers. Just shoot anyone and anything you see. If they're dark-skinned, shoot. They used the corpse of Rodney King as a shield, and busted in. Yeah, that is the story. Is that too soon? Too soon. The LAPD is at least rivaled by the NYPD. You heard about them shooting people on the sidewalk in broad daylight, and they ended up shooting more innocent people than the actual intended target. Right. Yes, but to their defense, that guy was almost four and a half feet away from them. Ow. Yeah, thank you. We gotta shoot these obstacles out of the way so we can shoot the target. So now, do you have a problem with that information? That Obama, that, oh goodness, that Osama was shot in the head, um, and while he was peering through a door. Um. As opposed to resisting. Not, not that particular element, but I do believe that there are people who, uh, we would consider the enemy who are going to read this, and this is going to fuel their fire. This is way too soon for half a dozen different reasons. Yeah. I, I, I can understand that. I just think, I just think it doesn't even get, for me, to a timeframe because he's given up. To be in that group, you've given up your rights. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. because he's given up. To be in that group, you've given up your right to write a book about that shit unless they tell you you can. I agree. And if you know, I mean, that raid did not happen flawlessly. They left that top secret helicopter behind. Yes, and sat on his chest, by the way. They took bin Laden's body and because they didn't have that helicopter, we talked about this last week, one of the things that came out was someone sat on his chest on the way out because there wasn't enough room for everybody. Are you telling me they did the atomic sit-up? No. Yeah, no, they did the shotgun bin Laden's chest move and they're like, can you just tie him to the roof? No, there's propellers there, dude. If Mitt Romney had been president, they would have tied him. You can't do it. Romney's dog is already on there. All right, we'll sit on him. Shit. No, I have no problem with them shooting him however the hell they can shoot him. I'm pretty sure the people on the planes during 9-11 didn't have any problem, you know, weren't looking to do anything at that point in time but fly across the country. So, fuck him and I hope it hurt. But, that being said, I don't think this guy necessarily should be writing a book but now what do you do? First of all, he's going to get criticized no matter what he does but if you don't, I mean, if they try to sue this guy, then they're saying, oh, look what he's doing to Navy SEAL. However, if he doesn't, you're basically saying, okay, well then, anybody after him can do whatever the hell they want. Exactly. I mean, this is, like, if they can, we mentioned Bradley Manning before, if they can violate his human rights the way they've done, then certainly they can come down on this guy. And I will tell you that, I do not, because you both have brought him up and I will bring this up real quickly, I don't necessarily, and I'm far from always trusting the government, however, I don't necessarily argue with Manning having done something wrong. I don't know all the information and I can't say that everything, that he is definitely guilty because I'm not getting all the information. That's fine. However, if he is in the military, they have more information than I do. If he's in the military and he is similar, if you're whistleblowing, that's one thing, and you may have channels and that is what he's claiming he's doing. But all the shit that was released did not need to be released. And a lot of that can harm future, any kind of negotiations in the future when you have, you don't need emails of people talking trash about other people that they now have to do business with. Now, do you think you should be held in solitary confinement with loud music and lights 23 hours a day? What kind of music? Yanni. Coronas? Are there coronas? No, Yanni. Oh, that's fucked up. Yeah. Well, that seems harsh. No, that seems harsh. It's all blazing new age. No, I'm not saying torture him, I'm not saying torture anybody all the time. They've been doing it for 18 months. He's been held in, in a, what is it, Leavenworth? And I think they've, they've not only that, but they've impeded efforts for people that, you know, organizations that seek to monitor his well-being. Right, yeah. No one's been allowed to see him, so. Okay, so, Private Manning, use your quarter, call us, 800-893-9562. I want to know what kind of music. You were probably saving it to talk to your lawyer, but call us. Call us. You think? All right, well, you know what? I don't know that much about love, but you're a doctor, and I heard that earlier. All right, a verdict came in the Drew Peterson trial. Listen to this. Jurors convicted Drew Peterson of murdering his third wife Thursday. Peterson faces a maximum 60-year prison term when sentenced. Illinois has no death penalty. The prosecution built its case almost entirely on circumstantial and hearsay evidence. That included testimony about what Peterson's wives had told friends and acquaintances before the one died and the other disappeared. A neighbor found Kathleen Savage Savio's body in 2004. It was face down in a dry bathtub of her suburban home outside Chicago. Her thick black hair was blood soaked, and she had a two-inch gash in the back of her head. The drowning death of the 40-year-old aspiring nurse was initially deemed an accident. After Peterson's fourth wife, 23-year-old Stacy Peterson, went missing in 2007, Savio's body was exhumed, reexamined, and her death reclassified as homicide. Prosecutors suspect he killed his fourth wife because she could finger him for Savio's death. Stacy Peterson's family hoped a conviction in Savio's murder could lead to charges against Drew Peterson and Stacy's disappearance. The guy's playing three-wife Monty. What is going on with this guy? It's a horrible case, and it's a horrible set of circumstances, but I'm sorry if I can't generate a whole lot of sympathy for wife number four. Yes, thank you. You know what I mean? If the first three have mysteriously died, disappeared, or just... Meanwhile, I haven't been laid in a year. You're not murdering enough. No kidding, Chris. It's the rage, not to use that word incorrectly. He was convicted of first-degree murder relatively quickly, and it seems, according to the foreman, that they all pretty much thought he was guilty relatively quickly. Oh, he's out of his mind. I watched a film based on his life. Are you talking about the Rob Lowe movie? Yeah. Yeah, I was going to ask you guys about that as well. Lifetime movie. He's missing, and he goes on a dating show while his wife is missing. While his wife's missing, yeah. Did he really? He's got a lot of balls on this guy. People are like out front of his house. The media's waiting for him to come in and out, and this guy's on a dating show. He genuinely thought he was a celebrity, and it seemed to never cross his mind what exactly was at stake. He didn't seem to ever consider the possibility that he could be charged for murder, convicted of murder. That's amazing. Yeah, and he loves the press. You're right. He loved the press, but do you guys have a problem with there being a Lifetime movie about it while the case is still pending? Absolutely. I mean, we do have a, you know, we do have what they call the, what is it, the jury of... Jury of your peers? No, no, no. There's an expression for it, the court of public opinion. That's the expression I'm looking for, and there does come a point where you cannot find, you cannot procure a group of people who are sufficiently unfamiliar with the case to give them a completely objective... I mean, they should be, yes, they should be able to find 12 people who don't watch Lifetime movies, but that being said, I do have a problem. Everyone watches Lifetime. I do have a problem. You have to have white females on the jury. Now, to his defense, Rob Lowe played him. You know what I'm saying? That's not bad, I guess, but still... He won. If you asked him, he'd say, winning. That's amazing. Now, a big, something that happened in a huge part of this case, and the only reason why he was convicted was there was a new law called Drew's Law, by the way. This is not the law you want named after you, where they are allowed to use hearsay because everybody involved was dead. So when your wife is dead and your next wife who actually said, you know what, he did it, and she's missing, you go, okay, well, how do we convict this guy? Otherwise, he's just gonna keep killing people that know. I just, I just, unfortunately, I did study some law in college, and I have a bit of a problem with it. It just seems so, you know, they assume his wife several years after the fact and then reclassify her death. It just seems so, there should be some kind of concrete evidence when you convict a man. Yes, do I believe he's guilty? Yes. Of course I believe he's guilty, but, you know, they never found the fourth wife's body. I mean, no, they still, they still haven't found it, and her family's hoping that this will help, although he's first degree murder, he's not getting out anyway, so you wanna, you can only lock him up one time, but basically, the fourth wife, suppose who's missing, they got testimony from her reverend and her divorce attorney, and she supposedly told the divorce attorney, hey, I couldn't find him one night, and then I went the night that the third wife went missing, and I went downstairs, and there he was by the washing machine with women's clothes that were not mine, and he told me that they may come talk to me. Here's what I say. Oops. And the reverend said something similar. Here's what I say. Oops. If this woman didn't immediately get in her car and drive to the police station, then throw her ass in jail too. Well, they can't because she's missing slash dead. Well, when they find her. When you say, yeah. I want someone to bitch slap that woman's corpse. Yeah, that is, so fortunately this crazy bastard is in jail, and hopefully, I can't wait for the sequel actually, but all right, let's take a listen to Fort Hood case, which the man needs to be shaved. Major Nadal Malik Hassan will have to shave his beard, or army personnel will shave it for him. That was a ruling today by a military judge at Fort Hood. Hassan's beard violates army regulations for court martial proceedings, but the army psychiatrist says it was required by his Muslim faith. Today, the judge says federal religious freedom laws do not trump the army rules. Hassan is accused in a mass shooting on post back in 2009 that left 13 people dead. He could face the death penalty if convicted. Hassan's defense plans to appeal today's ruling on Hassan's beard. There you go. Wow, the U.S. Army trumps God. Well, don't tell that at the Democratic National Convention. God didn't make it into the room in the Democratic National Convention. Well, only until the third vote. That seems like an extreme right-wing Republican's worst nightmare. Yeah. Make a decision. It's, is it the army or it's your God? No. Head explodes. You know what? In this case, I would say, well, let me rephrase that. I think in this case, it's ridiculous. Just get the trial going. The man, the man is not claiming, he's trying to, to plead guilty, but they can't plead, they don't accept guilty pleas in, for a murder case in this, in this, in the military. So, in a court martial, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Like, no, you, we need to have a case, which seems strange to me in the first place. So, they won't accept his guilty plea, and then they're saying, and they're turning around saying, you have to shave, and the defense, I mean, and the prosecution saying, you're trying to not shave so people won't recognize you. You're like, what? First of all, they know who he is. He's not saying he didn't do it. Just freaking lock the guy up and who cares? But instead, he gets the trial is being delayed because they're going to appeal, and basically, that's why it's being delayed. Not to besmirch anyone who serves in the military, but anyone in the military will probably back me up by saying, there are a lot of silly kind of consequences and contradictory rules and regs that come up around this kind of thing. And you're right, it should be expedited. He's already admitted guilt. He wants to plead guilty, but we can't let him do that? We differ on opinions on this, Gus, because I can't tell you how many times I've been in a courtroom and I just look around going, I'm sorry, who's the defendant again? I'm unclear on who. Who's that guy? That's the judge? Okay. What about the guy in his lap? Somebody shave him. Yeah, with the beard is throwing me all off. Because everybody else had a beard. That was the problem. We need that guy to be naked-faced so we know who to... It's amazing. It is absolutely amazing. So he basically said he wouldn't shave it for a month and then they had to have a hearing on that and that's what came in. That's why the case is not going forward because the hearing was they went, you know what? You're in the military. You have to follow our rules. Now, two, I will say this to the judge's defense. Two things. One, I think the military should trump God because until God comes down and says, no, this is my rule, fuck it. I'm going with the rule that we actually have in writing. The other thing is, you know what? Forcefully shaving this guy is going to piss him off. I beg your pardon. And I'm fine. I'm fine with him being pissed off after shooting a whole bunch of our soldiers. I beg your pardon, Gus, but if you read your Bible, you would know that Jephthah could not have defeated the Ammonites without the help of God and that's why he sacrificed his firstborn daughter to him. Did you just speak in tongues? I don't know what you said after if I read the Bible. Well, clearly, you should stop reading books and start reading the Bible. Is Judy Blume a co-author of the Bible? You need to form it in a formed opinion for the show. Which version of the Bible was Superfudge in? I don't... I get, I get all my books confused. That was not the King James. No, no. What about Aslan? I can't find him anywhere. Okay, so we have, you guys, if you guys think that being set up by your mom, by the way, is awkward, what about when your religion does it? In Vanity Fair's latest issue, special correspondent Maureen Orth unearths claims of what she calls a top-secret process of finding a girlfriend for Tom Cruise, headed by the wife of Scientology chief David Miscavige. Scientology, the Scientology spokespeople deny any such project, but according to Vanity Fair, the organization was seeking and auditioning actresses, strictly Scientologists, for a real-life role as a girlfriend for Tom Cruise. They were allegedly told they were auditioning for a training film and then asked questions including, what do you think of Tom Cruise? Vanity Fair claims Nazanin Banyadi, an Iranian-born, London-raised actress who was a regular face on General Hospital and recognized for her role in Iron Man, was a top-secret for a girlfriend and was a top-secret for a girlfriend and was a top-secret for a girlfriend and was a top-secret for a girlfriend was the selected one and that in a month-long preparation was told to lose her braces, her red highlights and her boyfriend and even signed a confidentiality agreement. The article goes even further saying that when the pair first met in November of 2004, that's when Banyadi first sensed this was possibly going to be an arranged marriage and although they spent that first night together, they did not have sex. So, first of all, I think everybody assumes they did not have sex. Well, not with each other. No. Yeah, exactly. That was never a question. So, I mean, that is very true. I mean, these allegations have been going on for a while. I mean, first thing I want to say is I've seen Iron Man a bunch of times. I don't know who the woman with the braces is. I have no idea who the fuck that is. If you were Tom Cruise, you're probably one of the wealthiest actors in Hollywood, probably even top three and the candidate they bring you has braces. Yeah, I'm not buying it. Would you not fly off? That's when you turn into Christian Bale. You're a nice guy. Fly, butter. Now, apparently, apparently, when all this was going on during that preparation, she was, quote, audited, religious audited, which is a process where she tells the high-ranking Scientologists her innermost secrets and every detail of her sex life. Yeah, and they put it on tape and if she ever leaves the church, they threaten to destroy her with it. That's what they do. So, Scientologists call that, they call that auditing. I call that phone sex. I mean, how is that? I don't know how that's different. I call it, well, it'd be confession. Is that correct to the Roman Catholic? Am I right? I've never disclosed this, Gus, but at one point, I was trying to get into the Church of Scientology and I was the first and only candidate who they shut the camera off because the details were so wacky. He finished his story, they were all sleeping, he got up, stole the camera and took off. That's well done, dude. So, they're like three, three people, that's it? How, I wonder, by the way, I wonder how Scientologists, what Scientologists take on homosexuality is. I don't know that. Most religions are not good with it, so I don't, I'm curious. I'm sure it depends on which, which Scientologist you ask and which Scientologist you are. Yeah, no, that is a, that is a valid point. Shh, I'm cruising in the room. We're gonna, we're gonna move on to sports real quick. The Saints players that were suspended for the bounty have been reinstated because of a three-judge panel, which somehow, basically, was able to overturn. I don't fully understand it. So, similar, again, once again, I will say, just because I fully don't understand it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Um, however, so they have been reinstated. They may still get suspended because, uh, the commissioner still wants to suspend them, so we'll figure that out. But, uh, football has started today, gentlemen. Give me a Super Bowl prediction. Who's your team? Uh, the Baltimore Orioles. That a boy. Nailed it. I'm gonna go with, uh, Niners over Ravens. 17-10. I like it. I like it. In the Super Bowl final. I like it. He gave me a score. Holy shit. I'm going Green Bay over, I'm rooting for the Giants, obviously, but I'm going Green Bay over New England. Um, if you are a, uh, a, a gambler of sports, I would, uh, put no money on any of these picks, especially the Baltimore Orioles. Um, let's get to, uh, let's get to, you're too cocksure for my team, Gus. Let's get, uh, two, uh, headlines, please. Michael Clark Duncan unfortunately lost, uh, the actor who played, uh, the big, the big, John Coffey. Godspeed, John Coffey. Yes, thank you, sir. Yeah. Died of complications for a heart attack at the age of 54. His fiance, by the way, do you know who that was? Yeah, the crazy woman from The Apprentice. Yeah, because I, I'm reading this information, I'm like, holy shit, there's two Amoroses? No, no. What the hell? No, there's one. there's only one. And, uh, I would, uh, her new name is now Contributing Factor. Oh, nicely done. I will tell you, man, I, I think that whole thing was a hoax. Uh, like her image was entirely fabricated because I've seen her speak publicly and she's highly educated and incredibly well-spoken. Are you trying to say Michael Clark Duncan fact, by the way, was he once worked as a stripper under the name, uh, Giant. Under the name Black Caesar. Black Caesar. Which, All hail Black Caesar. Which is very similar to my stripper name, uh, Julius Caesar, by the way. Julius Caesar. Yeah. You're funny. Thank you, sir. Um, all right, we'll go to China. China, uh, crazy story. A bus driver lost control of the bus, hit a curb, ran over a three-year-old girl who was stuck under the bus and was dug out and she is fine. Although she did get in trouble, I think when they, when she got out, uh, she said Asians can't drive and she got in trouble for that because, uh, she's surrounded by billions of them. However, healthy, completely healthy, three-year-old girl. It's, I mean, it is a one in a million, but apparently she bounced around a little bit and landed right in the cargo hold. That's nice. That is nice. In which case, uh, in which case, American Airlines tried to charge her 50 bucks. And if she makes it to Arizona, she'll be asked to leave. Yes. What? There is, uh, craziness, for weather, earthquakes, and tornadoes everywhere. Uh, also in China, two earthquakes in a couple of days killed 81 people in China. Messed up shit going on over there. They must have a gay Teletubby. Um, or a, a lesbian comedian that must live there or something. No, no, that's New York. New York had two tornadoes, one in Queens and one in New York recently. This is like a, this is like a bad movie night on sci-fi. I'm waiting for like the Malibu shark attack. So, how many, and coming from South America, tarantula. How many times does, uh, God have to try and assassinate, uh, the Republican, the RNC for them to, uh, consider the possibility that maybe they're not his chosen people. Yeah, uh, evidently, Chris, one more. Now, waiting for the locusts, gentlemen. It's 2012, waiting for the locusts. And another possible sign of the apocalypse, by the way, Michael Strahan was named Kelly Ripon's co-host, replacing, uh, Regis Philbin. You're just upset because they didn't ask you. Oh, she's so cute. Yes, um, yes, he was, so, former New York football giant and Super Bowl winner Michael Strahan has replaced Regis Philbin in his first show. It was the most watched daytime program in 14 of the top 15 television markets. Good for him. Uh, have you ever seen, speaking of which, have you ever seen him speak and talk? Don't let the gap fool you. No, he is smart, smart, fast, funny. He's a smart, good guy. He just looks like a big goof. Yeah. And he will make fun of that as well. Yes, he will. Congratulations to him. Uh, sticking with television, uh, although it's in Utah, so I should be careful while I'm sticking things. Uh, New Normal, the show New Normal, which deals with a gay couple having a baby via surrogate, uh, they have, uh, KSL in Utah has decided they're not going to air that show. No, actually, what they're going to have instead is a, uh, weekly show, uh, half an hour on, uh, polygamy. So, uh, there's your New Normal. Exactly. In an area where you used to have eight wives, but they don't want a show about a gay couple. No. Uh, you know, I, I kind of feel like, uh, Utah's being unfairly demonized on this issue. Uh, it's, it's not the show they have a problem with, it's the electricity they need. Thank you. Well, well played, sir. The, uh, the singer Seal has accused his soon-to-be ex-wife Heidi Klum of, quote, fornicating with the help, best employee benefits ever. Look, it's called fucking the pool boy. It's not fornicating with the help. They're dating now. They're dating now. She's already received two million applications for her to replace her. Exactly. Uh, Seal is worth reportedly 15 million. She's worth 70 million. So expect, uh, and she, he's saying she cheated on him, so expect a hell of a custody battle. Oh, and he's probably going to get alimony. Yeah. Poor guy. He's not going to bounce back from this. Storefront, uh, pot dispensaries in Los Angeles are going to stay open thanks to a 50,000 signature petition proving potheads can get active if you threaten to take their weed away. Uh, but you, you know that this is, uh, this petition's come under fire because when they, when they analyze it, it turns out many of these potheads signed it several times. They forgot. You can also motivate these people with cool wrench. Doritos, by the way. Ooh. Yes. Yes. That is, uh, that is bizarre, but, you know, I never understood having federal and local laws not actually, how do I get those Doritos? You just gotta sign this form. Uh, a, uh, a, a, do it in the back of the squad car. You'll be more comfortable. A record store owner real quick, uh, is, is getting some shit for putting out an album for, of new Charles Manson music from prison. All new tunes. You know, you know why he's getting so much shit? Why, it's a terrible album. I got no doubts. Um, I, I believe he was going to open for the Republican National Convention, but they were, they were still upset with him for not using a gun. Um, okay. Thank you everybody. Uh, Jeff, I want to thank you very much for being here. Chris, uh, Chris, when's your show on my man? Oh, uh, next, uh, my show is every Friday at 1 p.m. West Coast time. That's registered ear offenders. I'll also be at the Ventura Harbor Comedy Club tonight at 7 p.m. Ventura Harbor, California. Thank you very much guys for being here. We'll see you all next week. Take care. Good night. Good night. Whatever. Good night. Good night.
