After claiming she and Prince Harry just want privacy, Meghan Markle appears on a Time 100 interview to inform everyone about her proclivity for putting shredded dehydrated flower petals on her parfaits and eggs. What is she truly trying to accomplish?
George Clooney won't say he was 'brave,' but perhaps heroic in his own way for having the courage to write an op-ed asking for Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 race after the 46th President turned in a disastrous debate performance last June.
Comedian and actress Patti LaPone just can't understand why we can't have polite conversations anymore, after years of leftists looking to censor and cancel conservative viewpoints.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Friday in Denver, and that means it's time once
again for the Right Side of Hollywood with award winning
filmmaker Deborah Flora and Christian Total of Hollywood in Toto
on the intersection of pop culture, entertainment and politics in
America right here on Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Way. What private that way? What private that.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Way?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
What way?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Way way way?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
What of that way? What prime of that way?
Speaker 5 (01:15):
All things to be talking about for time one hundred.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
Let's talk about flower spring books.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
But let's because I think it speaks to the tiny
moments of joy that are so effortless and just create
a little bit of magic that we're all craving in
our every day. They're tiny little flower petals that are dried.
I started putting them on salads, I started putting them
on scrambled eggs. It didn't actually matter on a yogurt parfe.
(01:43):
The level of charm that you find people have when
they see these tiny, little dried petals is something I
can't bully wrap my head around, but I appreciate.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
That there is a love for the detail.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
And the small level of delight that can be added.
So take flower sprinkles really as an analogy and think
about what you could do in your everyday life that
can just have a little splash of magic on unexpected moments.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
O Megan, the Duchess of Sussex giving us every intimate
detail of minutia in her personal private life, putting dehydrated
sprinkles of flower on her scrambled eggs. And yet Deborah
Flora Christian Toto right side of Hollywood. The song I
came in with was the South Park episode and Epic
(02:32):
one making fun of those two her Prince Harry, we
just want some privacy on the Worldwide Privacy Tour. But
we went on to do a sit down interview Deborah
for a time one hundred about sprinkling flowers on my eggs.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
You know what that is her right to sprinkle flowers
on her eggs and good honor that brings that amount
of joy. The amount of joy she expresses is, as
she says, indescribable, which I think is kind of a
lack of balance of perspective. But here's the thing, you know,
it's unfortunate in our culture to see someone who could
have so much influence on things that deeply matter. I
(03:10):
think about Princess Diana, who took her position and instead
focused on getting rid of land minds that were maiming
children all over the world. That is a powerful use
of once positions. You know, I do not falter for
wanting to put flowers on things, But isn't that just
kind of an example of how surface level that is
(03:32):
versus Oh, my goodness, there's actually real tragedy happening of
children being maimed. Use your power to get rid of
land mines. I'm sorry, that's what comes to mind.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And Christian, why won't people just leave these two alone?
But at the same time, why don't they find Megan
relatable and like her for sprinkling flowers on her meals?
Speaker 7 (03:53):
I think there are robots who are more human than negative.
You know, someone on Twitter just a couple hours ago
shared a picture of her sort of reference and said, Okay,
who is more insufferable than her? And I actually tweeted
out George Clooney, but I had to say, that's not
a fair contest. As insufferable as he can be, Listen,
she's the Queen. I don't I just don't understand. You
(04:16):
couldn't write a.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Character like this.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
He's so tone deaf, who's so silly and playing like
this Martha Stewart esque figure is so beyond the pale.
I mean, listen, I'm actually a person who enjoys life's
really small pleasures. So this should have been speaking directly
to me, but coming from her and the pretentious tones,
and you just know that this doesn't reflect an ounce
(04:39):
of her real person, and that at her ambitions and
her dreams and her warped view don't really reflect this
at all. This is not her. This is a pose,
this is an act. It's it's it's unbelievable, And I
just don't understand. I've done a really good job of
just ignoring her completely, except when, except for you played
these clips, have we not collectively just shut her out?
(05:03):
That's all she deserves.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Deborah, Yeah, real quick on this, because you brought up
Princess Die and what I remember about her, and that
was throughout my younger years, and she tragically, of course,
died nineteen ninety seven and I was quite young still
at that point. But I just remember her effortless grace.
She didn't have to try, She just was. She didn't
have to appear to be human, she just was. You
(05:25):
mentioned the landmine things, the genuine, sincere compassion she showed
for others. It poured out of her. People responded to that.
They loved her. Meg and Markle would like that more
than anything else. But to me, it just seems like
she wants it a little too much. But what is
the endgame here? What is the goal? They want to
be left alone? They don't. They want to have a
Netflix series, They want to sit down for a time
(05:45):
one hundred interview, They want all the attention of the paparazzi,
or they don't. Where is this going for her? Where
does she wanted to go?
Speaker 6 (05:51):
They do not want privacy. Let's be honest. They I
believe this. Listen. I can't read someone's minds, but let's
just say this is a trend we see over and
over again, people who actively seek out the world, watching
every little, tiny detail of their life like sprinkling flowers
on a yogurt parfait, and then say no, I want
my privacy. Usually they use the line I want my
(06:14):
privacy when there is negative attention. They want attention. There
is no other way to do this. I mean, the
moment we started this selfie culture, I still remember, I'm
old enough to say and why are you just taking
a picture of yourself? But the minute that started, that
literally is what happened to our world. Turn the camera
on me. Everybody pay attention. I mean every day people
(06:36):
do do as well. They post like a picture of
their breakfast or their sauce on their scrambled eggs or whatever.
There is this part of a culture that does think
everybody wants to know every detail, but then they want
to deflect when it's negative. That is really in comparing
with Princess Diana, she really, from everything I understand, she
was a troubled individual, but she really did actually want privacy.
(06:58):
She wanted to raise her chin children outside of the
eye of the public and shielded them, and then she
used her work to try to make a real change
towards those who were deeply in need, small children who
were being maimed and destroyed by land mines. That's a
completely different thing. People loved the fact that it wasn't
about her, it was about the good she was trying
(07:20):
to do, including raising her children out of the public eye.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Total couple of things. One I had immen's respect for
one of my all time favorites, Johnny Carson, who is
as public of a figure as you could have in
the sixties, seventies and eighties as he hosted the late
night talk show. But when he rode off into the sunset,
he did just that. I think he did one sit
down interview with Larry King before his death and that
was it. He was out of the public eye. I
(07:43):
respected that. And then Greta Garbol famolessly saying I want
to be alone. She wanted to be alone, and she
was a recluse. And I'm not saying you gotta go
that far. But is there any returning back to those
two examples I just mentioned of these public figures who
understand their place, that they're in a sphere. They have
a unique talent, they have importance in our culture, but
it doesn't have to be. To Debra's point, every second
(08:06):
of every day we watch in every level of detail
with your life.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Actually, we just saw an example of this and he
passed away sadly a few months ago as gene Ackman.
Gene Ackman retired at the top of his game. He
was still could bring it on screen like few actors could,
and he said, you know, I think I've done enough
and I'm going to retire. I'm going to spend time
with my wife and I'm just going to enjoy life,
and I'm not going to do it in the public eye,
and so you'd get those occasional pictures, Oh look at
(08:33):
the shocking transformation. Yeah, because he's twenty years older now
and he's a much much older gentleman. I always hated
that kind of journalism, by the way, but yet there
are people who still do pulled back from public life,
and often we don't talk about them because they did
just that. You know, I know actresses who have done
that and steered their life in a different direction, and
that's perfectly noble and perfectly fine. It is really gross,
(08:56):
and I think the narcissism in our collective society we
don't talk about enough. And by the way, you know,
I'm always complaining about Saturday Night Live and the late
night networks and how they ignore Biden or AOC. Why
isn't she a national punchline, Ah, Megan, I don't understand it.
She's not technically political. I'm gonna guess she's a progressive,
(09:19):
but she's not really a figurehead on a political scale.
She is absurd, and yet they somehow have a hands
off policy towards her. That's amazing too.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
And one thing I want to add to that too
is I remember when I was in Hollywood, during my
temporary in sanity before I came home to Colorado, thank you,
thank you. I would frequently go to a restaurant where
Gene Hackman would be, and he would go and he
would sit by himself, and whenever somebody would start to
approach his table, one of the waiters would go, mister
Hackman would like to be left alone. And it wasn't pretentious.
(09:49):
What the waiter would say is he believes his job
is to be an actor, not to live twenty four
to seven as a personality. When you look at him,
Meghan Markle or people like that, I do wonder. Okay,
so what exactly is your job? What are you putting
into the world. For Gene Happen, it was acting. For
(10:09):
Megan Markle, it is simply being a personality and influencer.
Those are terms that we didn't even use just ten fifteen.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Years ago, celebrity. That was the you know, being the
gossip columns. But that again anti fedical, and this is
why South Park did the episode too. We want our privacy, No,
you don't no, you don't. We're on the right side
of Hollywood. That's Deborah Flora and Christian Toto yours truly,
Ryan schruling alongside because he mentioned him. I just looked
at Toto's feed on X where you want to follow him? Right?
(10:39):
Where can they follow you?
Speaker 7 (10:41):
Hollywood? In total?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
There it is, and Deborah, you're on the X right.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
I am Deborah Flora one there it is.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Okay, what I saw in Christian's feed, the Megan Markle
post gave me an idea. But then there was this
and I harkened back to I think was last week
George Clooney, Christian's favorite, sitting down with Jake Tapper of
CNN telling him, you know what, I did my civic
duty by making by writing that op ed calling on
Joe Biden to drop out of the race.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Joe Biden emerged from hibernation last night, and so's George Clooney.
He went on CNN to play hero and twist the
knife and Joe's back one more time.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You yourself did something that a lot of people would call
brave when you wrote your op ed brave. Well, if
it was brave, it was.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
It was a civic duty. When I saw people on
my side of the street not telling the truth. I
thought that was time to.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
A people still mad at you for that?
Speaker 8 (11:36):
Some people sure, okay, you know, listen, the idea of
freedom of speech, you know.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
The specific idea of it is.
Speaker 8 (11:45):
You know, you can't demand freedom of speech and then say,
but don't say.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
Bad things about me or that's the that's the deal.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
You have to take a stand if you believe in it,
take a stand, stand for it, and then deal with
the consequence.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Toto on a scale of one to Sully Sullenberger, how
brave was George Clooney and writing.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
One, I have a weird affection for George Clooney. I
met him years ago on the junket for the Perfect Storm.
He couldn't have been more gracious to me. I actually
interrupted him as he was jotting into his trailer and
instead of saying shoe go away, which he really should have,
we had a nice little exchange. You know, it doesn't
(12:25):
I don't think he's a monster. I think he's probably
a pretty nice fellow on a one to one basis,
But good golly, I just the smug I mean, he's
been doing this tour where he's on Broadway now with
his good Night and Good Luck film. It's been transferred
to Broadway, and he has become mister I must defend
the Fourth Estate. And first of all, the fourth Estate
is broken beyond repair.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
We all know that, correct.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
I mean, just imagine there's a president who's infirmed and
they've they've covered it up for four years. But also,
as you said, George Clooney saw Biden up close and
personal at a fundraiser in June. Yes, and he's sat
on that knowledge for week after week after week. Meanwhile,
the polls kept getting worse and worse and worse for
Joe Biden, and then miraculously, he takes to the pages
(13:08):
of the New York Times and says, Hey, sorry, Joe,
you gotta go. That sounds as authentic as a certain princess.
And I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Timeline on That was the op ed after the June
twenty seventh debate. Yes, well, there you.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Go, there you go. Absolutely. What I think is interesting
is when he goes around and he's defending the fourth estate,
which is the media, which is designed to be the watchdog.
I mean, I don't know where all the president's men
are now, but they're not doing their job. But how
about instead if he'd really been brave doing it much
earlier and calling out the very media he's defending that
(13:44):
did not report on this. They let the American people down,
And I think that's interesting. It reminds me of Elizabeth Warren,
who just got called out for standing up for Biden,
and her excuse as well. He was standing and he
basically was able to complete a sentence. I'm sorry. This
is the This is the commander in chief with his
(14:06):
finger on their nuclear codes, and that's what they lowered
it to. I agree the timing a suspect. I'm grateful
he at least did it. I don't think he is necessarily,
I don't know his mindset that he's out to do harm.
But let's not have the pretension of bravery when the
American people actually deserve to have a full telling of
(14:27):
Biden's capability, probably when he ran the first time for president.
Oh yeah, not so far. Later in the.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Game foreshadowing, deb just touched on who will be one
of our nominees for Friday Fool of the Week coming up? Indeed,
but staying on the George Clooney topic, he goes on
the other side of the microphone. Here apparently he was
hosting a podcat. I don't know, he's doing an interview.
And Patty Lapone, a comedian who you would recognize if
you saw probably through the eighties and nineties, doesn't understand
(14:53):
why we can't have a dialogue between people of dissenting views.
Just can't put her finger on it. Why can't we
do that?
Speaker 9 (14:59):
What I don't understand about all of this in this
country is that you we can't seem to have a dialogue,
a diverse dialogue, or a dissenting views dialogue. In this country.
You are labeled a communist, you are labeled a fashions,
you are labeled as.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
Opposed to you know.
Speaker 9 (15:17):
And I remember I said when I was doing Le
miss in London, Roger Allam, because that's when they had
the Worker's Revolutionary Party, And I sat in a Chinese
restaurant with Roger Alam and one was a communist, one
was a in the Worker's Revolutionary Party, one was a republican,
another was a monarchist. And there was a dialogue of views,
(15:38):
and nobody was looking over their shoulders saying I'm reporting
you to the government. And I just feel like that
that's that's we are in a situation where and it's
not this isn't recent, but that we cannot have that
conversation that you know, in order for you to be bad,
I have to be good, you know, or you know
my politics are good there yours are bad.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Toto goes back to the bay. It's a question who
canceled who?
Speaker 7 (16:01):
As I recall, I need about six hours to respond
to this one short shortened down as much as human boss. Okay,
First of all, Patti Lapone once compared Christians on the
right to al Qaeda, and she said other horrible, terrible things.
Second of all, she is part of the progressive movement
which has basically been responsible for cancel culture and this
woke nonsense. She and her buddies are directly responsible for
(16:25):
the dampening of free speech. Thirdly, and I'll share this
with mister Clooney, who is unofficially King of Hollywood. You
sat in an industry for years, if not decades, while
the conservative blacklist ran wild, and people who are on
the right in Hollywood couldn't even share their points of view.
So forgive me for wanting to vomit all over the
(16:46):
Banele here, I'm disgusted by all them.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Well, it's teed up perfectly for you, dub Ruh, and
I believe that there are so many, but the one
that comes to mind most recently for me, Gina Carrano
would like to have a word.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
Oh absolutely. I mean this is why Gary Sinise and
people know this and many others started an underground group
in Hollywood called Friends of Abe and we would have
people come in and weep because they realized if they
actually even said these words, I like America. They don't
even have to say I am a Republican. I've even
(17:17):
said that, they would actually risk losing their jobs. It's
not just Gino Carano, It's James Woods, it's John Ratzenberger.
I mean, the list goes on and on and on.
So what strikes me most about that Patty Lapone conversation
where she's like, I just can't understand, well, she was
a part of it, as what Christian said, And they
(17:39):
don't seem to notice until it turns in their direction
that there's actually some pushback now coming for this extreme language.
All they have to do is look at people like
Joy Reid, who before Thanksgiving said yes, it is okay
to disown family members who have a different political viewpoint,
or what's happening now with the dark, woke culture that
we're seeing. Suddenly, this assassination culture is starting to take root.
(18:06):
We need to pull it up by the roots. I mean,
people can speak freely, but we need to call it
out when we see it. There is that recent poll
that showed, I think as NCRI showed that well over
half of left leaning respondents to their poll said it
was completely or somewhat justified to assassinate Donald Trump and
Elon Musk. When people seem to play dumb about Oh
(18:28):
my goodness, I don't understand where this is coming from.
Time to look in the mirror. I feel like singing
the Michael Jackson song in mirror.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I'll do that right, add one little so.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
The one person who's done a great job of reaching
across the aisle of having these productive conversations with people
with whom they don't agree with is Bill Maher and
then and then pages the New York Times, the great
Larry David called him a Nazi.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Yeah, yeah, a Jewish Man once again.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Well, I just hope they don't listen to Bill Maher
or to Rama Manu who got eviscerated, and that will
be part of our Friday Fool of the Week nominations.
Not rom not Ram Emmanuel a guy who is a
committed leftist, but he's not as far left as where
the party has gone. And you'll hear exactly why when
our nominees for Friday Fool of the Week are revealed
upon our return. This is the Right Side of Hollywood
(19:17):
along with Deborah Flora and Christian Toto. I'm Ryan Shulings
ticket stay right here to six thirty k house.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
So what have you had it with?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I would say we have a series of topics that
I think sometimes consume in the other topics that don't
actually get the attention that they should get.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
And we ended up fighting for the wrong things.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
We were really south on kitchen table issues.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
We weren't really good about the family room issues.
Speaker 11 (19:49):
Disagree with you, the only agree with you, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
The only room we are the only room we do
really well, was the bathroom, and that's the smallest room.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
In the house.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Such book that is a total book that is.
Speaker 11 (19:59):
Buying into the right wing media narrative. And I'm so
sick of democrats like you selling out and saying this.
You know who talks about trans people more than anybody, Maga.
Kamala Harris talked about homeownership, she talked about kitchen table issues.
Trump's over there droning on about Hannibal Lecter. Are you
kidding me? This is where the Democrats lose because we're
(20:20):
playing the game with the rule book. They've writ the
rulebook up and.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
He cramine down everybody's throat.
Speaker 11 (20:26):
Crouch are upset because Joe Biden partoned his son.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
We kind of fight.
Speaker 11 (20:31):
They're the gender obsessed weirdos, not us. We're the ones
who fight for Social Security, we fight for Medicare, and yeah,
we're not going to bully trans people.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
We're not going to do it.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Fine, That was Jennifer Welch, co host of the I've
Had a Podcast with Poor Ram Emmanuel got Steamer rolled
in that segment. He's the former mayor of Chicago. He's
the former chair of the DNC Deborah Flora. If everything
Jennifer Welch is saying is true, then why did Kama
Harris not flip a single county in the United States
(21:02):
of America.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
You know, Christian and I were talking about this during
the break. I think one of the most stunning, maybe
not study, but one of the most destructive things that's
come out of what he called, you know, very rightly
kind of a narcissistic period in our culture, is the
inability for self reflection. When Ram Emmanuel, the godfather of
Chicago and the architect of Obama's you know, administration in
(21:25):
many ways, is not even allowed to talk about where
the Democrats completely disconnected. I mean, that's fine, they're they're
heading down a really long pathway into the wilderness where
nobody else wants to be with them. But I think
it's stunning how quickly that Jennifer Welch got furious, started
(21:46):
lacing profanity, started cutting him off, as though just just
being willing to have some sort of introspection and self
reflection was criminals. That's a big problem, honestly on extremes,
on both ends of the spectrum. But it's just interesting
to watching it happen to rom and Manual of all people.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Toto. On Deborah's point there, Jennifer Welch was pretty angry.
Does anger win elections? It doesn't.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
And by the way, I've been in a podcaster for
quite a while now, I've never treated a guest that rudely.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
There.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
I'd be furious if I if I were him, you know,
And she didn't want to hear any answers. And listen,
you're there on the show to have a conversation and
to pick his brain because he's no dummy. He's got
really important life experiences, especially in the political realm. Yeah,
you want to hear what he has to say. But
she went under rant and well, that's good for her,
(22:37):
And let's see how well that works for her.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Jennifer Welch not many number one, nominy number two. It's
difficult to do, but she's found a way to do it.
How about a justice from the Supreme Court of the
United States. And I'm not talking about Sonya Soda my
or that might be your first guest to be a
good one. It's Justice Kintanji Brown Jackson, who states in
this Montgomery County school's case based on parental right, that you.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Could just homeschool.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
You can just send your kids to private school. What
are you so worried about.
Speaker 12 (23:04):
The parent can choose to put their kid elsewhere. You
don't have to send your kid to public school. I'm
struggling to see how it burdens a parent's religious exercise.
If the school teaches something that the parent disagrees with,
you have a choice.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
You can homeschool them.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Christian does Kentanji Brown Jackson KBJ need a lesson on privilege.
Speaker 7 (23:28):
Oh, she's so dumb. I don't get it. I don't
understand it.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Listen.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
I know there's identity politics running wild, but she's just
flat out stupid at times. And she's absolutely flat out stupid.
Here we're talking about wildly inappropriate material being handed to
very young children in the community where most of the
parents say, yeah, we don't want that, right, this is
the case that I understand that we're talking about here, correct. Yeah,
And she says, oh, go homeschool your kid. That's easy.
(23:55):
I'll just quit my job and I'll just rearrange everything
and I'll homeschool job because want I don't want little
Timmy reading about leather jackets in all sorts of sexual
situations when he's six. Sorry.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Yeah. Well, and on top of it, first of all,
it is completely tone death. The homeschooling families that I
know they sacrifice so much, and by the way, well
they're sacrificing, reducing themselves to a single income household. They
are still paying taxes that pay for this kind of
public education. You and I are paying for this right now.
(24:29):
This is happening right here in Colorado. In case people
aren't aware of the Elizabeth County School District, they actually
went through an entire thorough process removed a handful of
books that were age inappropriate and pornographic, and the ACLU
was suing them and being told they have to put
them back in again. She completely misses the point because
these are our tax dollars. How about you just remove
(24:51):
any sexual agenda, any political ideological agenda, and just teach
students reading, writing, math, arithmetic so that they can think
critically and decide when they're an adult, whatever lifestyle they
want to live.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Justice KBJ our second nominee. It brings us to our
third where Dwight Shrut is the voice of reason from
the office. That's right, Rain Wilson. This is just the introduction,
and he's pushing back on Stephanie Rule regarding the lack
of insight and passion and covering the Biden administration by
the left winging media. He's right versus how they're covering Trump,
(25:33):
and it goes right over her head.
Speaker 13 (25:35):
This is where I would push back when I see
this kind of insight and passion being directed at the
current administration and the lack of this kind of insight
and passion being directed at the previous administration, where again
I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
Left leaning news media organizations. That's her.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
We're kind of like.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
La la la la la.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Evening's fine. Look the environments.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I mean, look thee these great la la la immigrations
not that much of a problem, and really being Cleopatra
Queen of denial, thank you Boom, I would push.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
Back on immigration.
Speaker 14 (26:10):
I can specifically remember when Greg Abbott of tex Texas
and Ron DeSantis of Florida sent those buses of migrants
to different cities, different parts of the country, which ended
up being politically genius for both of them. The media
regularly talked about the fact that Biden was not doing
(26:31):
enough in his first two and a half years on immigration,
even though in the last year and a half you're
seeing the numbers go down. He just wasn't doing enough,
and you saw it in how people voted. You had
places like the Bronx, who had places like New Jersey,
people who said I'm not happy with immigration in this country,
and that's why Democrats are scrambling to recalibrate now.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
But I do think that was covered, Debra.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
How did Stephanie Rule or MSNBC cover the Abbot and
DeSantis buses to Martha's vineyard in real time? Oh?
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Absolutely, they threw such aspersions at them while they ignored
the flights of immigrants that were being flown in the
middle of the night all over our country by the
Biden administration. Crickets on that attacks on Abbot and DeSantis,
I'm the lack of intellectual integrity and this statement is
(27:20):
stunning to me, and I just find it so interesting
that that is the way she would approach it. The
other thing I always find interesting to when you hear
Democrats talk about this, She said, they are now recalibrating,
as though just their messaging was the problem, not the
fact that Joe Biden flew open wide our border, allowing
(27:42):
nearly or actually over ten million people to enter our
country illegally with no knowledge of who they are, where
they are, what country they came from. That is the part,
And I think it's just it's so disingenuous. Maybe she
actually believes it. But one of the things we talk
about with Rain Wilson and even Bill Maher, they're at
least showing a level of intellectual courage and integrity that
(28:07):
is so missing from someone like Stephanie Rules.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
And honesty, which this is a layup or it should
have been Christian for Stephanie Rule to just kind of
look in the mirror reflecting, well, you know what, Yeah,
maybe we could have done it differently. Nope, not her problem.
They didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 7 (28:20):
The Democrats are calibrating so hard that they're fighting tooth
and nail to keep gang members in this country.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
That's up.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Yes, that's so dedicated they are to the illegal immigration problem.
You know, this quote from her is so bad and
so disparaging to her credibility. It reminded me of the
Joe Scarborough. If you don't think that Joe Biden is
the sharpest Joe Biden, then go bleep off whatever he said.
That is the ultimate I just took a night a
(28:50):
torch and burned down my credibility whatever I had. This
isn't that bad, but it does feel in the ballpark.
It's so disconnected from the truth.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Stephanie Rule MSNBC our third nominee. Our fourth was mentioned
earlier by Deborah Flora Senator Elizabeth Warren going full Pocahontas mode. Okay,
now to preface this, I want you to know that
this is all you're hearing it in real time. There's
no edit. I didn't add silence to it. That's real.
(29:18):
Here's Elizabeth Warren being caught off guard by Sam Fragoso,
who should be a very friendly podcast host for her.
Speaker 10 (29:26):
Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity,
He had a sharpness to him. He said that up
until July of last year. I said what I believe
to be true. Do you think he was as sharp
as you?
Speaker 15 (29:43):
I said I had not seen decline, and I hadn't
at that point.
Speaker 10 (29:50):
You did not see any decline from twenty twenty four
Joe Biden to twenty twenty one Joe Biden.
Speaker 15 (29:55):
Oh, when I said that, because I was the scene,
is he look? He was sharp, he was on his feet.
I saw it live event. I had meetings with him
a couple of times.
Speaker 10 (30:10):
Or on his feet is not praise. He can speak
in sentences is not praise?
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Fair enough?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Fair enough? Wow, she just submits debruh Sam, great job
by him.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Yes, and you have to watch it as well. She
actually is chuckling at his question. Is he as sharp
as you? She's laughing, but she manageses not to make
a sound when she does it. I just think it's
amazing how the someone like Elizabeth Warren thinks she can
just manipulate or say the words in a different way
and somehow means something. That's what I thought at the time,
(30:46):
or that's how I perceived it to be. I said
I had not seen decline once again. Just the lack
of honesty. I mean, here's over all. The troubling thing
to me is it doesn't matter necessarily which side thes
you are on on this point. The lack of trust
and confidence in people in the media and people in
our government is at an all time low. And this
(31:08):
is why they've actually thought they could just warsmith it,
manipulate it, tell people look the other way, and they're
not going to pay attention. And one last thing I
have to add on top of it, that was pretty
pretty tragic for the United States of America that people
who actually knew the commander in chief was incapable of
doing his job. Let that continue that was a threat
(31:29):
to our national security.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Christian, what you just heard? Could Senator Warren have been
any less convincing? No?
Speaker 7 (31:36):
I think she was caught.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
All it took was a podcast. You asked a question
or two with a smart follow up, and she was
done cooked. Now here's the thing. Elizabeth Warren could go
on a hundred interviews from today until the following year
and she would never ever ever get pressed like she
was there. But also, these journalists, these different activists, I mean,
(31:58):
really is what they are. They're doing their own party
a significant disservice because if you don't hold their feet
to the fire, if you don't make them tougher, they
become like Elizabeth Warren and AOC and all these clowns
because they can't handle it, because they don't know what
to do when an actual question comes their way, they
melt down. Elizabeth Warren melted down in this interview because
(32:20):
she had nothing to say, because she was stripped.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Bear. Those are our four nominees. Jennifer Welch eviscerating or
trying to ram Emmanuel Justice, Cantanji Brown Jackson, Stephanie Ruhle MSNBC,
and Senator Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas is I like to call
her right? There are four nominees. I've got one more.
We're going to come back, and it's local, it's live local,
(32:43):
and it's not exactly late breaking, but it was and
taking your votes at five seven, seven, three nine for
our Friday Fool of the Week. It will be revealed
at the end of the show, but we're back to
wrap up the Right Side of Hollywood after this.
Speaker 16 (33:05):
So the notion that parents have rights have always reigned
supreme is not in our English Saxon history, but rather
that there was always a recognition that the state had
an interest in protecting the rights of children, and that
was balanced by the best interests of the child doctrine,
which we see in much of the case law which
my colleague from Denver referred to, which balances the rights
(33:27):
of the parents and the child in this other context
of issues. And in light of all of that and
my knowledge of the history of how those rights of
children have been balanced over time, I would just I
will have to say that I will be a known tonight.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Are English Saxon history cited by Colorado's state representatives, Cecilia,
You're breaking my heart Espinoza House, District four. I don't
even know where to begin with this. Christian and Deborah
citing British monarchical rule that the king once had jurisdiction
over the children, that the parents didn't have rights, that
(34:02):
we got to balance the rights of parents and kids.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
Deborah go, oh my word, Okay, I'm sorry, but I
think your last nominee here is going to have to
be my choice. When she's referring to Anglo Saxon history,
what that meant was the king had the right to
come and take your child to be his cup bearer,
wash his feet, or be killed on the battlefield, or
just till his soil. That is exactly why in America
(34:26):
we did the opposite. The family is the very building
block of Western civilization, and if our founding fathers ever
thought we would get to this day, it would have
been in the Bill of Rights. I'm sorry. I can
go on about that for six hours, but I'll put
a period in it.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Total. Can you wrap your head around this one? No?
Speaker 7 (34:44):
I mean the heart left today just doesn't like family.
I mean they don't. They just want to separate parents
from kids in any way, in anyway, shape or form.
They want to sexualize them, they want to change them,
they want to tell the parents that they're not really
invested in their own children. It's it's beyond science fiction
at this point. And yet this is our new normal.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
So Dubra's voting for her for Cecilia Toto. Where are
you going?
Speaker 13 (35:10):
Ah?
Speaker 7 (35:11):
I was going with Katanji, But this is late This
is a late breaking news.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
Yeah, someone who's overran the forerunner.
Speaker 7 (35:18):
Yet my complaint about this segment is that there are
too many fools of the week and that I can't
decide who is the supreme fool of the week, and
every week I have to really tend a lot of
mental energy figuring out who's the biggest fool. And they're
all really well qualified.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
Yes, you make our job hard. Ride And if I
may add a comment, she's talking about HB TWI thirteen twelve,
which will literally take a child away from their parents
if they dare to misgender them. Go to my Twitter please,
and we are leading a town hall a next Thursday
night to make your voice heard against By the way,
(35:52):
it's not Anglo Saxon history, it's Marxist Stalinist history.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
She said, English Saxon.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
Oh, that's right. Sorry, sent yet where the state gets
your child? And that is why we did a documentary
the titled Whose Children Are They Not the States? Thank
you so much, Cecilia Espinoza.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Twitter x handle for you, Deborah.
Speaker 6 (36:12):
Deborah Flora one see you there Thursday night for our
town hall.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
There you go. And Hollywood in Toto on X for
you Christian.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
Right, I am way too busy on Twitter slash x.
Come join me. I get a little snarky.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Don't forget to subscribe to download and listen to his
podcast as well, simply total titled rather Hollywood in Toto
for Christian, Toto for Deborah Flora. I'm Ryan Schuling. That's
it for the right side of Hollywood state tuned. Cindy
Stein joins me next, and you may know that name
from her harrowing tale in Durango in which her daughter
has been commandeered from her by a teacher who is
(36:48):
enabling and enhancing the transitioning of that child. And here's
the catch. The local law enforcement in question is not
doing anything to help. In fact, they are hindering the situation.
Cindy joins me next to start our number two after
this
It's Friday in Denver, and that means it's time once
again for the Right Side of Hollywood with award winning
filmmaker Deborah Flora and Christian Total of Hollywood in Toto
on the intersection of pop culture, entertainment and politics in
America right here on Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Way. What private that way? What private that.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Way?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
What way?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Way way way?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
What of that way? What prime of that way?
Speaker 5 (01:15):
All things to be talking about for time one hundred.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
Let's talk about flower spring books.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
But let's because I think it speaks to the tiny
moments of joy that are so effortless and just create
a little bit of magic that we're all craving in
our every day. They're tiny little flower petals that are dried.
I started putting them on salads, I started putting them
on scrambled eggs. It didn't actually matter on a yogurt parfe.
(01:43):
The level of charm that you find people have when
they see these tiny, little dried petals is something I
can't bully wrap my head around, but I appreciate.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
That there is a love for the detail.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
And the small level of delight that can be added.
So take flower sprinkles really as an analogy and think
about what you could do in your everyday life that
can just have a little splash of magic on unexpected moments.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
O Megan, the Duchess of Sussex giving us every intimate
detail of minutia in her personal private life, putting dehydrated
sprinkles of flower on her scrambled eggs. And yet Deborah
Flora Christian Toto right side of Hollywood. The song I
came in with was the South Park episode and Epic
(02:32):
one making fun of those two her Prince Harry, we
just want some privacy on the Worldwide Privacy Tour. But
we went on to do a sit down interview Deborah
for a time one hundred about sprinkling flowers on my eggs.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
You know what that is her right to sprinkle flowers
on her eggs and good honor that brings that amount
of joy. The amount of joy she expresses is, as
she says, indescribable, which I think is kind of a
lack of balance of perspective. But here's the thing, you know,
it's unfortunate in our culture to see someone who could
have so much influence on things that deeply matter. I
(03:10):
think about Princess Diana, who took her position and instead
focused on getting rid of land minds that were maiming
children all over the world. That is a powerful use
of once positions. You know, I do not falter for
wanting to put flowers on things, But isn't that just
kind of an example of how surface level that is
(03:32):
versus Oh, my goodness, there's actually real tragedy happening of
children being maimed. Use your power to get rid of
land mines. I'm sorry, that's what comes to mind.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And Christian, why won't people just leave these two alone?
But at the same time, why don't they find Megan
relatable and like her for sprinkling flowers on her meals?
Speaker 7 (03:53):
I think there are robots who are more human than negative.
You know, someone on Twitter just a couple hours ago
shared a picture of her sort of reference and said, Okay,
who is more insufferable than her? And I actually tweeted
out George Clooney, but I had to say, that's not
a fair contest. As insufferable as he can be, Listen,
she's the Queen. I don't I just don't understand. You
(04:16):
couldn't write a.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Character like this.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
He's so tone deaf, who's so silly and playing like
this Martha Stewart esque figure is so beyond the pale.
I mean, listen, I'm actually a person who enjoys life's
really small pleasures. So this should have been speaking directly
to me, but coming from her and the pretentious tones,
and you just know that this doesn't reflect an ounce
(04:39):
of her real person, and that at her ambitions and
her dreams and her warped view don't really reflect this
at all. This is not her. This is a pose,
this is an act. It's it's it's unbelievable, And I
just don't understand. I've done a really good job of
just ignoring her completely, except when, except for you played
these clips, have we not collectively just shut her out?
(05:03):
That's all she deserves.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Deborah, Yeah, real quick on this, because you brought up
Princess Die and what I remember about her, and that
was throughout my younger years, and she tragically, of course,
died nineteen ninety seven and I was quite young still
at that point. But I just remember her effortless grace.
She didn't have to try, She just was. She didn't
have to appear to be human, she just was. You
(05:25):
mentioned the landmine things, the genuine, sincere compassion she showed
for others. It poured out of her. People responded to that.
They loved her. Meg and Markle would like that more
than anything else. But to me, it just seems like
she wants it a little too much. But what is
the endgame here? What is the goal? They want to
be left alone? They don't. They want to have a
Netflix series, They want to sit down for a time
(05:45):
one hundred interview, They want all the attention of the paparazzi,
or they don't. Where is this going for her? Where
does she wanted to go?
Speaker 6 (05:51):
They do not want privacy. Let's be honest. They I
believe this. Listen. I can't read someone's minds, but let's
just say this is a trend we see over and
over again, people who actively seek out the world, watching
every little, tiny detail of their life like sprinkling flowers
on a yogurt parfait, and then say no, I want
my privacy. Usually they use the line I want my
(06:14):
privacy when there is negative attention. They want attention. There
is no other way to do this. I mean, the
moment we started this selfie culture, I still remember, I'm
old enough to say and why are you just taking
a picture of yourself? But the minute that started, that
literally is what happened to our world. Turn the camera
on me. Everybody pay attention. I mean every day people
(06:36):
do do as well. They post like a picture of
their breakfast or their sauce on their scrambled eggs or whatever.
There is this part of a culture that does think
everybody wants to know every detail, but then they want
to deflect when it's negative. That is really in comparing
with Princess Diana, she really, from everything I understand, she
was a troubled individual, but she really did actually want privacy.
(06:58):
She wanted to raise her chin children outside of the
eye of the public and shielded them, and then she
used her work to try to make a real change
towards those who were deeply in need, small children who
were being maimed and destroyed by land mines. That's a
completely different thing. People loved the fact that it wasn't
about her, it was about the good she was trying
(07:20):
to do, including raising her children out of the public eye.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Total couple of things. One I had immen's respect for
one of my all time favorites, Johnny Carson, who is
as public of a figure as you could have in
the sixties, seventies and eighties as he hosted the late
night talk show. But when he rode off into the sunset,
he did just that. I think he did one sit
down interview with Larry King before his death and that
was it. He was out of the public eye. I
(07:43):
respected that. And then Greta Garbol famolessly saying I want
to be alone. She wanted to be alone, and she
was a recluse. And I'm not saying you gotta go
that far. But is there any returning back to those
two examples I just mentioned of these public figures who
understand their place, that they're in a sphere. They have
a unique talent, they have importance in our culture, but
it doesn't have to be. To Debra's point, every second
(08:06):
of every day we watch in every level of detail
with your life.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Actually, we just saw an example of this and he
passed away sadly a few months ago as gene Ackman.
Gene Ackman retired at the top of his game. He
was still could bring it on screen like few actors could,
and he said, you know, I think I've done enough
and I'm going to retire. I'm going to spend time
with my wife and I'm just going to enjoy life,
and I'm not going to do it in the public eye,
and so you'd get those occasional pictures, Oh look at
(08:33):
the shocking transformation. Yeah, because he's twenty years older now
and he's a much much older gentleman. I always hated
that kind of journalism, by the way, but yet there
are people who still do pulled back from public life,
and often we don't talk about them because they did
just that. You know, I know actresses who have done
that and steered their life in a different direction, and
that's perfectly noble and perfectly fine. It is really gross,
(08:56):
and I think the narcissism in our collective society we
don't talk about enough. And by the way, you know,
I'm always complaining about Saturday Night Live and the late
night networks and how they ignore Biden or AOC. Why
isn't she a national punchline, Ah, Megan, I don't understand it.
She's not technically political. I'm gonna guess she's a progressive,
(09:19):
but she's not really a figurehead on a political scale.
She is absurd, and yet they somehow have a hands
off policy towards her. That's amazing too.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
And one thing I want to add to that too
is I remember when I was in Hollywood, during my
temporary in sanity before I came home to Colorado, thank you,
thank you. I would frequently go to a restaurant where
Gene Hackman would be, and he would go and he
would sit by himself, and whenever somebody would start to
approach his table, one of the waiters would go, mister
Hackman would like to be left alone. And it wasn't pretentious.
(09:49):
What the waiter would say is he believes his job
is to be an actor, not to live twenty four
to seven as a personality. When you look at him,
Meghan Markle or people like that, I do wonder. Okay,
so what exactly is your job? What are you putting
into the world. For Gene Happen, it was acting. For
(10:09):
Megan Markle, it is simply being a personality and influencer.
Those are terms that we didn't even use just ten fifteen.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Years ago, celebrity. That was the you know, being the
gossip columns. But that again anti fedical, and this is
why South Park did the episode too. We want our privacy, No,
you don't no, you don't. We're on the right side
of Hollywood. That's Deborah Flora and Christian Toto yours truly,
Ryan schruling alongside because he mentioned him. I just looked
at Toto's feed on X where you want to follow him? Right?
(10:39):
Where can they follow you?
Speaker 7 (10:41):
Hollywood? In total?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
There it is, and Deborah, you're on the X right.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
I am Deborah Flora one there it is.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Okay, what I saw in Christian's feed, the Megan Markle
post gave me an idea. But then there was this
and I harkened back to I think was last week
George Clooney, Christian's favorite, sitting down with Jake Tapper of
CNN telling him, you know what, I did my civic
duty by making by writing that op ed calling on
Joe Biden to drop out of the race.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Joe Biden emerged from hibernation last night, and so's George Clooney.
He went on CNN to play hero and twist the
knife and Joe's back one more time.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You yourself did something that a lot of people would call
brave when you wrote your op ed brave. Well, if
it was brave, it was.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
It was a civic duty. When I saw people on
my side of the street not telling the truth. I
thought that was time to.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
A people still mad at you for that?
Speaker 8 (11:36):
Some people sure, okay, you know, listen, the idea of
freedom of speech, you know.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
The specific idea of it is.
Speaker 8 (11:45):
You know, you can't demand freedom of speech and then say,
but don't say.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
Bad things about me or that's the that's the deal.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
You have to take a stand if you believe in it,
take a stand, stand for it, and then deal with
the consequence.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Toto on a scale of one to Sully Sullenberger, how
brave was George Clooney and writing.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
One, I have a weird affection for George Clooney. I
met him years ago on the junket for the Perfect Storm.
He couldn't have been more gracious to me. I actually
interrupted him as he was jotting into his trailer and
instead of saying shoe go away, which he really should have,
we had a nice little exchange. You know, it doesn't
(12:25):
I don't think he's a monster. I think he's probably
a pretty nice fellow on a one to one basis,
But good golly, I just the smug I mean, he's
been doing this tour where he's on Broadway now with
his good Night and Good Luck film. It's been transferred
to Broadway, and he has become mister I must defend
the Fourth Estate. And first of all, the fourth Estate
is broken beyond repair.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
We all know that, correct.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
I mean, just imagine there's a president who's infirmed and
they've they've covered it up for four years. But also,
as you said, George Clooney saw Biden up close and
personal at a fundraiser in June. Yes, and he's sat
on that knowledge for week after week after week. Meanwhile,
the polls kept getting worse and worse and worse for
Joe Biden, and then miraculously, he takes to the pages
(13:08):
of the New York Times and says, Hey, sorry, Joe,
you gotta go. That sounds as authentic as a certain princess.
And I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Timeline on That was the op ed after the June
twenty seventh debate. Yes, well, there you.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Go, there you go. Absolutely. What I think is interesting
is when he goes around and he's defending the fourth estate,
which is the media, which is designed to be the watchdog.
I mean, I don't know where all the president's men
are now, but they're not doing their job. But how
about instead if he'd really been brave doing it much
earlier and calling out the very media he's defending that
(13:44):
did not report on this. They let the American people down,
And I think that's interesting. It reminds me of Elizabeth Warren,
who just got called out for standing up for Biden,
and her excuse as well. He was standing and he
basically was able to complete a sentence. I'm sorry. This
is the This is the commander in chief with his
(14:06):
finger on their nuclear codes, and that's what they lowered
it to. I agree the timing a suspect. I'm grateful
he at least did it. I don't think he is necessarily,
I don't know his mindset that he's out to do harm.
But let's not have the pretension of bravery when the
American people actually deserve to have a full telling of
(14:27):
Biden's capability, probably when he ran the first time for president.
Oh yeah, not so far. Later in the.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Game foreshadowing, deb just touched on who will be one
of our nominees for Friday Fool of the Week coming up? Indeed,
but staying on the George Clooney topic, he goes on
the other side of the microphone. Here apparently he was
hosting a podcat. I don't know, he's doing an interview.
And Patty Lapone, a comedian who you would recognize if
you saw probably through the eighties and nineties, doesn't understand
(14:53):
why we can't have a dialogue between people of dissenting views.
Just can't put her finger on it. Why can't we
do that?
Speaker 9 (14:59):
What I don't understand about all of this in this
country is that you we can't seem to have a dialogue,
a diverse dialogue, or a dissenting views dialogue. In this country.
You are labeled a communist, you are labeled a fashions,
you are labeled as.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
Opposed to you know.
Speaker 9 (15:17):
And I remember I said when I was doing Le
miss in London, Roger Allam, because that's when they had
the Worker's Revolutionary Party, And I sat in a Chinese
restaurant with Roger Alam and one was a communist, one
was a in the Worker's Revolutionary Party, one was a republican,
another was a monarchist. And there was a dialogue of views,
(15:38):
and nobody was looking over their shoulders saying I'm reporting
you to the government. And I just feel like that
that's that's we are in a situation where and it's
not this isn't recent, but that we cannot have that
conversation that you know, in order for you to be bad,
I have to be good, you know, or you know
my politics are good there yours are bad.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Toto goes back to the bay. It's a question who
canceled who?
Speaker 7 (16:01):
As I recall, I need about six hours to respond
to this one short shortened down as much as human boss. Okay,
First of all, Patti Lapone once compared Christians on the
right to al Qaeda, and she said other horrible, terrible things.
Second of all, she is part of the progressive movement
which has basically been responsible for cancel culture and this
woke nonsense. She and her buddies are directly responsible for
(16:25):
the dampening of free speech. Thirdly, and I'll share this
with mister Clooney, who is unofficially King of Hollywood. You
sat in an industry for years, if not decades, while
the conservative blacklist ran wild, and people who are on
the right in Hollywood couldn't even share their points of view.
So forgive me for wanting to vomit all over the
(16:46):
Banele here, I'm disgusted by all them.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Well, it's teed up perfectly for you, dub Ruh, and
I believe that there are so many, but the one
that comes to mind most recently for me, Gina Carrano
would like to have a word.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
Oh absolutely. I mean this is why Gary Sinise and
people know this and many others started an underground group
in Hollywood called Friends of Abe and we would have
people come in and weep because they realized if they
actually even said these words, I like America. They don't
even have to say I am a Republican. I've even
(17:17):
said that, they would actually risk losing their jobs. It's
not just Gino Carano, It's James Woods, it's John Ratzenberger.
I mean, the list goes on and on and on.
So what strikes me most about that Patty Lapone conversation
where she's like, I just can't understand, well, she was
a part of it, as what Christian said, And they
(17:39):
don't seem to notice until it turns in their direction
that there's actually some pushback now coming for this extreme language.
All they have to do is look at people like
Joy Reid, who before Thanksgiving said yes, it is okay
to disown family members who have a different political viewpoint,
or what's happening now with the dark, woke culture that
we're seeing. Suddenly, this assassination culture is starting to take root.
(18:06):
We need to pull it up by the roots. I mean,
people can speak freely, but we need to call it
out when we see it. There is that recent poll
that showed, I think as NCRI showed that well over
half of left leaning respondents to their poll said it
was completely or somewhat justified to assassinate Donald Trump and
Elon Musk. When people seem to play dumb about Oh
(18:28):
my goodness, I don't understand where this is coming from.
Time to look in the mirror. I feel like singing
the Michael Jackson song in mirror.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I'll do that right, add one little so.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
The one person who's done a great job of reaching
across the aisle of having these productive conversations with people
with whom they don't agree with is Bill Maher and
then and then pages the New York Times, the great
Larry David called him a Nazi.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Yeah, yeah, a Jewish Man once again.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Well, I just hope they don't listen to Bill Maher
or to Rama Manu who got eviscerated, and that will
be part of our Friday Fool of the Week nominations.
Not rom not Ram Emmanuel a guy who is a
committed leftist, but he's not as far left as where
the party has gone. And you'll hear exactly why when
our nominees for Friday Fool of the Week are revealed
upon our return. This is the Right Side of Hollywood
(19:17):
along with Deborah Flora and Christian Toto. I'm Ryan Shulings
ticket stay right here to six thirty k house.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
So what have you had it with?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I would say we have a series of topics that
I think sometimes consume in the other topics that don't
actually get the attention that they should get.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
And we ended up fighting for the wrong things.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
We were really south on kitchen table issues.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
We weren't really good about the family room issues.
Speaker 11 (19:49):
Disagree with you, the only agree with you, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
The only room we are the only room we do
really well, was the bathroom, and that's the smallest room.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
In the house.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Such book that is a total book that is.
Speaker 11 (19:59):
Buying into the right wing media narrative. And I'm so
sick of democrats like you selling out and saying this.
You know who talks about trans people more than anybody, Maga.
Kamala Harris talked about homeownership, she talked about kitchen table issues.
Trump's over there droning on about Hannibal Lecter. Are you
kidding me? This is where the Democrats lose because we're
(20:20):
playing the game with the rule book. They've writ the
rulebook up and.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
He cramine down everybody's throat.
Speaker 11 (20:26):
Crouch are upset because Joe Biden partoned his son.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
We kind of fight.
Speaker 11 (20:31):
They're the gender obsessed weirdos, not us. We're the ones
who fight for Social Security, we fight for Medicare, and yeah,
we're not going to bully trans people.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
We're not going to do it.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Fine, That was Jennifer Welch, co host of the I've
Had a Podcast with Poor Ram Emmanuel got Steamer rolled
in that segment. He's the former mayor of Chicago. He's
the former chair of the DNC Deborah Flora. If everything
Jennifer Welch is saying is true, then why did Kama
Harris not flip a single county in the United States
(21:02):
of America.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
You know, Christian and I were talking about this during
the break. I think one of the most stunning, maybe
not study, but one of the most destructive things that's
come out of what he called, you know, very rightly
kind of a narcissistic period in our culture, is the
inability for self reflection. When Ram Emmanuel, the godfather of
Chicago and the architect of Obama's you know, administration in
(21:25):
many ways, is not even allowed to talk about where
the Democrats completely disconnected. I mean, that's fine, they're they're
heading down a really long pathway into the wilderness where
nobody else wants to be with them. But I think
it's stunning how quickly that Jennifer Welch got furious, started
(21:46):
lacing profanity, started cutting him off, as though just just
being willing to have some sort of introspection and self
reflection was criminals. That's a big problem, honestly on extremes,
on both ends of the spectrum. But it's just interesting
to watching it happen to rom and Manual of all people.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Toto. On Deborah's point there, Jennifer Welch was pretty angry.
Does anger win elections? It doesn't.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
And by the way, I've been in a podcaster for
quite a while now, I've never treated a guest that rudely.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
There.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
I'd be furious if I if I were him, you know,
And she didn't want to hear any answers. And listen,
you're there on the show to have a conversation and
to pick his brain because he's no dummy. He's got
really important life experiences, especially in the political realm. Yeah,
you want to hear what he has to say. But
she went under rant and well, that's good for her,
(22:37):
And let's see how well that works for her.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Jennifer Welch not many number one, nominy number two. It's
difficult to do, but she's found a way to do it.
How about a justice from the Supreme Court of the
United States. And I'm not talking about Sonya Soda my
or that might be your first guest to be a
good one. It's Justice Kintanji Brown Jackson, who states in
this Montgomery County school's case based on parental right, that you.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Could just homeschool.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
You can just send your kids to private school. What
are you so worried about.
Speaker 12 (23:04):
The parent can choose to put their kid elsewhere. You
don't have to send your kid to public school. I'm
struggling to see how it burdens a parent's religious exercise.
If the school teaches something that the parent disagrees with,
you have a choice.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
You can homeschool them.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Christian does Kentanji Brown Jackson KBJ need a lesson on privilege.
Speaker 7 (23:28):
Oh, she's so dumb. I don't get it. I don't
understand it.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Listen.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
I know there's identity politics running wild, but she's just
flat out stupid at times. And she's absolutely flat out stupid.
Here we're talking about wildly inappropriate material being handed to
very young children in the community where most of the
parents say, yeah, we don't want that, right, this is
the case that I understand that we're talking about here, correct. Yeah,
And she says, oh, go homeschool your kid. That's easy.
(23:55):
I'll just quit my job and I'll just rearrange everything
and I'll homeschool job because want I don't want little
Timmy reading about leather jackets in all sorts of sexual
situations when he's six. Sorry.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Yeah. Well, and on top of it, first of all,
it is completely tone death. The homeschooling families that I
know they sacrifice so much, and by the way, well
they're sacrificing, reducing themselves to a single income household. They
are still paying taxes that pay for this kind of
public education. You and I are paying for this right now.
(24:29):
This is happening right here in Colorado. In case people
aren't aware of the Elizabeth County School District, they actually
went through an entire thorough process removed a handful of
books that were age inappropriate and pornographic, and the ACLU
was suing them and being told they have to put
them back in again. She completely misses the point because
these are our tax dollars. How about you just remove
(24:51):
any sexual agenda, any political ideological agenda, and just teach
students reading, writing, math, arithmetic so that they can think
critically and decide when they're an adult, whatever lifestyle they
want to live.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Justice KBJ our second nominee. It brings us to our
third where Dwight Shrut is the voice of reason from
the office. That's right, Rain Wilson. This is just the introduction,
and he's pushing back on Stephanie Rule regarding the lack
of insight and passion and covering the Biden administration by
the left winging media. He's right versus how they're covering Trump,
(25:33):
and it goes right over her head.
Speaker 13 (25:35):
This is where I would push back when I see
this kind of insight and passion being directed at the
current administration and the lack of this kind of insight
and passion being directed at the previous administration, where again
I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
Left leaning news media organizations. That's her.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
We're kind of like.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
La la la la la.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Evening's fine. Look the environments.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I mean, look thee these great la la la immigrations
not that much of a problem, and really being Cleopatra
Queen of denial, thank you Boom, I would push.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
Back on immigration.
Speaker 14 (26:10):
I can specifically remember when Greg Abbott of tex Texas
and Ron DeSantis of Florida sent those buses of migrants
to different cities, different parts of the country, which ended
up being politically genius for both of them. The media
regularly talked about the fact that Biden was not doing
(26:31):
enough in his first two and a half years on immigration,
even though in the last year and a half you're
seeing the numbers go down. He just wasn't doing enough,
and you saw it in how people voted. You had
places like the Bronx, who had places like New Jersey,
people who said I'm not happy with immigration in this country,
and that's why Democrats are scrambling to recalibrate now.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
But I do think that was covered, Debra.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
How did Stephanie Rule or MSNBC cover the Abbot and
DeSantis buses to Martha's vineyard in real time? Oh?
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Absolutely, they threw such aspersions at them while they ignored
the flights of immigrants that were being flown in the
middle of the night all over our country by the
Biden administration. Crickets on that attacks on Abbot and DeSantis,
I'm the lack of intellectual integrity and this statement is
(27:20):
stunning to me, and I just find it so interesting
that that is the way she would approach it. The
other thing I always find interesting to when you hear
Democrats talk about this, She said, they are now recalibrating,
as though just their messaging was the problem, not the
fact that Joe Biden flew open wide our border, allowing
(27:42):
nearly or actually over ten million people to enter our
country illegally with no knowledge of who they are, where
they are, what country they came from. That is the part,
And I think it's just it's so disingenuous. Maybe she
actually believes it. But one of the things we talk
about with Rain Wilson and even Bill Maher, they're at
least showing a level of intellectual courage and integrity that
(28:07):
is so missing from someone like Stephanie Rules.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
And honesty, which this is a layup or it should
have been Christian for Stephanie Rule to just kind of
look in the mirror reflecting, well, you know what, Yeah,
maybe we could have done it differently. Nope, not her problem.
They didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 7 (28:20):
The Democrats are calibrating so hard that they're fighting tooth
and nail to keep gang members in this country.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
That's up.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Yes, that's so dedicated they are to the illegal immigration problem.
You know, this quote from her is so bad and
so disparaging to her credibility. It reminded me of the
Joe Scarborough. If you don't think that Joe Biden is
the sharpest Joe Biden, then go bleep off whatever he said.
That is the ultimate I just took a night a
(28:50):
torch and burned down my credibility whatever I had. This
isn't that bad, but it does feel in the ballpark.
It's so disconnected from the truth.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Stephanie Rule MSNBC our third nominee. Our fourth was mentioned
earlier by Deborah Flora Senator Elizabeth Warren going full Pocahontas mode. Okay,
now to preface this, I want you to know that
this is all you're hearing it in real time. There's
no edit. I didn't add silence to it. That's real.
(29:18):
Here's Elizabeth Warren being caught off guard by Sam Fragoso,
who should be a very friendly podcast host for her.
Speaker 10 (29:26):
Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity,
He had a sharpness to him. He said that up
until July of last year. I said what I believe
to be true. Do you think he was as sharp
as you?
Speaker 15 (29:43):
I said I had not seen decline, and I hadn't
at that point.
Speaker 10 (29:50):
You did not see any decline from twenty twenty four
Joe Biden to twenty twenty one Joe Biden.
Speaker 15 (29:55):
Oh, when I said that, because I was the scene,
is he look? He was sharp, he was on his feet.
I saw it live event. I had meetings with him
a couple of times.
Speaker 10 (30:10):
Or on his feet is not praise. He can speak
in sentences is not praise?
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Fair enough?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Fair enough? Wow, she just submits debruh Sam, great job
by him.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Yes, and you have to watch it as well. She
actually is chuckling at his question. Is he as sharp
as you? She's laughing, but she manageses not to make
a sound when she does it. I just think it's
amazing how the someone like Elizabeth Warren thinks she can
just manipulate or say the words in a different way
and somehow means something. That's what I thought at the time,
(30:46):
or that's how I perceived it to be. I said
I had not seen decline once again. Just the lack
of honesty. I mean, here's over all. The troubling thing
to me is it doesn't matter necessarily which side thes
you are on on this point. The lack of trust
and confidence in people in the media and people in
our government is at an all time low. And this
(31:08):
is why they've actually thought they could just warsmith it,
manipulate it, tell people look the other way, and they're
not going to pay attention. And one last thing I
have to add on top of it, that was pretty
pretty tragic for the United States of America that people
who actually knew the commander in chief was incapable of
doing his job. Let that continue that was a threat
(31:29):
to our national security.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Christian, what you just heard? Could Senator Warren have been
any less convincing? No?
Speaker 7 (31:36):
I think she was caught.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
All it took was a podcast. You asked a question
or two with a smart follow up, and she was
done cooked. Now here's the thing. Elizabeth Warren could go
on a hundred interviews from today until the following year
and she would never ever ever get pressed like she
was there. But also, these journalists, these different activists, I mean,
(31:58):
really is what they are. They're doing their own party
a significant disservice because if you don't hold their feet
to the fire, if you don't make them tougher, they
become like Elizabeth Warren and AOC and all these clowns
because they can't handle it, because they don't know what
to do when an actual question comes their way, they
melt down. Elizabeth Warren melted down in this interview because
(32:20):
she had nothing to say, because she was stripped.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Bear. Those are our four nominees. Jennifer Welch eviscerating or
trying to ram Emmanuel Justice, Cantanji Brown Jackson, Stephanie Ruhle MSNBC,
and Senator Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas is I like to call
her right? There are four nominees. I've got one more.
We're going to come back, and it's local, it's live local,
(32:43):
and it's not exactly late breaking, but it was and
taking your votes at five seven, seven, three nine for
our Friday Fool of the Week. It will be revealed
at the end of the show, but we're back to
wrap up the Right Side of Hollywood after this.
Speaker 16 (33:05):
So the notion that parents have rights have always reigned
supreme is not in our English Saxon history, but rather
that there was always a recognition that the state had
an interest in protecting the rights of children, and that
was balanced by the best interests of the child doctrine,
which we see in much of the case law which
my colleague from Denver referred to, which balances the rights
(33:27):
of the parents and the child in this other context
of issues. And in light of all of that and
my knowledge of the history of how those rights of
children have been balanced over time, I would just I
will have to say that I will be a known tonight.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Are English Saxon history cited by Colorado's state representatives, Cecilia,
You're breaking my heart Espinoza House, District four. I don't
even know where to begin with this. Christian and Deborah
citing British monarchical rule that the king once had jurisdiction
over the children, that the parents didn't have rights, that
(34:02):
we got to balance the rights of parents and kids.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
Deborah go, oh my word, Okay, I'm sorry, but I
think your last nominee here is going to have to
be my choice. When she's referring to Anglo Saxon history,
what that meant was the king had the right to
come and take your child to be his cup bearer,
wash his feet, or be killed on the battlefield, or
just till his soil. That is exactly why in America
(34:26):
we did the opposite. The family is the very building
block of Western civilization, and if our founding fathers ever
thought we would get to this day, it would have
been in the Bill of Rights. I'm sorry. I can
go on about that for six hours, but I'll put
a period in it.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Total. Can you wrap your head around this one? No?
Speaker 7 (34:44):
I mean the heart left today just doesn't like family.
I mean they don't. They just want to separate parents
from kids in any way, in anyway, shape or form.
They want to sexualize them, they want to change them,
they want to tell the parents that they're not really
invested in their own children. It's it's beyond science fiction
at this point. And yet this is our new normal.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
So Dubra's voting for her for Cecilia Toto. Where are
you going?
Speaker 13 (35:10):
Ah?
Speaker 7 (35:11):
I was going with Katanji, But this is late This
is a late breaking news.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
Yeah, someone who's overran the forerunner.
Speaker 7 (35:18):
Yet my complaint about this segment is that there are
too many fools of the week and that I can't
decide who is the supreme fool of the week, and
every week I have to really tend a lot of
mental energy figuring out who's the biggest fool. And they're
all really well qualified.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
Yes, you make our job hard. Ride And if I
may add a comment, she's talking about HB TWI thirteen twelve,
which will literally take a child away from their parents
if they dare to misgender them. Go to my Twitter please,
and we are leading a town hall a next Thursday
night to make your voice heard against By the way,
(35:52):
it's not Anglo Saxon history, it's Marxist Stalinist history.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
She said, English Saxon.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
Oh, that's right. Sorry, sent yet where the state gets
your child? And that is why we did a documentary
the titled Whose Children Are They Not the States? Thank
you so much, Cecilia Espinoza.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Twitter x handle for you, Deborah.
Speaker 6 (36:12):
Deborah Flora one see you there Thursday night for our
town hall.
Speaker 1 (36:16):

podcast as well, simply total titled rather Hollywood in Toto

it for the right side of Hollywood state tuned. Cindy
Stein joins me next, and you may know that name
from her harrowing tale in Durango in which her daughter
has been commandeered from her by a teacher who is
(36:48):
enabling and enhancing the transitioning of that child. And here's
the catch. The local law enforcement in question is not
doing anything to help. In fact, they are hindering the situation.
Cindy joins me next to start our number two after
this
