Springfield's talk, 104, 1, author of the week coming up, sponsor ABC Books on North

News before all of the work gets done by the Ozark's Elder Law folks.

And it really, there is a comfort there.

And she, after just talking with me about a number of the things that they're

like, oh, no, this is actually, this is great.

You're doing, you know, what you've done here is fantastic.

And then advice on, you may want to change this.

Here's the benefit of doing it this way versus that way.

Overall, she's like, I just feel better.

And I felt better that she felt better and sort of it's just all feel goods all

around because on one, you know, it does impact the one day, although I know she never

ever will actually die.

But if for whatever weird reason she did, I know that it's going to be so much easier

on those of us that are left behind because of the things that she's done with

those Ozark's Elder Law in order to make sure that's a case.

But I also just feel better that she feels better that she doesn't have to worry

about, well, did I do this right?

Did I do that right?

Is this going to be a hassle for them?

Am I going to leave behind some sort of burden?

And, and you know, that's just aside from the actual benefits of making sure that

everyone is taken care of, including yourself in a manner that you want,

just the overall comfort of knowing it is a huge benefit as well.

And it's not the sort of thing that you can just download offline and do it yourself

for $199 bucks.

You need it done by experts, Ozark's Elder Law, 10 area locations, you know,

one of which is in Joplin.

That's the one that my mom, you know, living in that general area over there,

Carthage, hit the Joplin location and odds are, if you're listening over the air,

there's a location that's close to you as well.

You can find them all and get that appointment going at Ozark's Elder Law dot com.

You know, we were talking and we were joking earlier about the whole thing with Trump

and the posting of the image and Trump, you know, saying that I didn't,

I wasn't thinking it was, you know, showing me as Jesus.

I was thinking that it was showing me as a doctor and a healer.

And you know, when we first talked about it yesterday or the day before,

I was like, ah, five to 10 percent chance in my mind that he wasn't thinking it was Jesus.

And my thought was that, you know, he thought, or thought some people may think that

and it was more to drive the left nuts because they just hate any time anyone

compares Trump to someone that is admirable and who's more admirable than Jesus.

You know, the Son of God, the Savior, the Messiah, and thought, boy, you know,

they want to compare me to the worst people on the planet thinking it's going to get at me.

Let's see how they reacted to this.

And, you know, some people, and we were talking about a text that came in,

a person that was just really frustrated that we, or that eye, was even open to the idea

that he might not have really genuinely had no clue that this was a picture

that would be potentially perceived as being Jesus and so forth.

And listen, I know how frustrating it is to hear disinformation, misinformation,

and it was described as me spreading misinformation.

And I just don't think misinformation is something that describes an opinion.

I mean, that's just my opinion.

And I could be totally wrong.

And I don't think having even a wrong opinion is spreading misinformation or disinformation.

And I think sometimes when you have a healthy relationship with someone,

you can laugh about things that sometimes maybe they do that are a little bit goofy

or that you disagree with.

And the interesting thing I believe about the relationship that Trump has with his voters

or his supporters is there's like this relationship is if you really connect with him

and no other president has ever been able to do that.

I just don't believe it as much as they'd love to pretend as if Obama was the end all be all

and he just really understood and Bill Clinton, oh, I feel your pain,

they can say all that all they want.

But, you know, the sense that Trump supporters have that this guy really does get us.

He really does care about us.

And that sort of, if you even want to call it oddly enough, friendship that exists.

To me, and everyone's different, I rise on my friend sometimes.

You know, if I've got a friend or family member that does something that's kind of a goof or a mistake in my opinion,

I give him a hard time about it and we laugh about it.

Everyone's different though, my family, we just have sort of a sense of humor in that way.

I've said before we have not ever had a funeral for one of our close immediate family members

in which we weren't cracking up about something at some point.

That's just the sense of humor we have.

It doesn't make it right, it doesn't make it wrong.

But I just, I do understand when as a Trump supporter, if you hear a show like this,

and I'm kind of laughing about, oh, Trump said he was a doctor.

Come on.

It isn't really meant to be mean-spirited at all.

It was more like, hey, we're all in the family here.

And okay, whatever buddy sort of thing.

And it may not make it any easier.

But I just don't want people to misunderstand my motives or my thoughts on the whole thing.

So anyway, just thought I'd share that.

We do have author of the week coming up.

Sponsored by ABC Books on North Clinton right now.

The latest news update.

From all of us here at the Ozarks First Newsroom, I'm Mike Landis.

You can add a popular grocery chain to the growing list of retailers moving into Southwest Springfield.

According to plans submitted to the city this week,

Aldi plans to build a new store in the Springfield Plaza Center.

That's near West Sunshine and West Bypass.

Well, if approved, Aldi would already have a head start on construction.

As it would be located in a building constructed in 2023 at the same time as the Michaels next door.

However, that corner site has remained vacant until now.

Ozarks first reached out to Aldi for details on the timeline, but we've not heard back just yet.

And we continue to keep our eye on the possibility for severe weather across the Ozarks.

We have a chance for storms each day for the rest of this work week.

Some rounds could pose risks for high winds, hail, and even some tornadoes.

Finally, quieting down for your weekend.

Mike Landis, Ozarks First.

And the first alert forecast from Ozarks First, meteorologist Tom Schmidt,

sponsored by St. Clair of the Ozarks Home Improvements.

Today, we'll see scattered showers and thunderstorms mainly before 2 p.m.,

otherwise mostly sunny with a high near 77.

Tonight, partly cloudy with a low around 63.

For your Friday, a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms throughout the afternoon,

and then partly sunny with a high near 82.

And taking a look at Saturday, we'll see a 30% chance of showers before 1 p.m.,

and then mostly sunny skies with a high near 59.

And the pyramid roofing company, we once again had severe weather last night.

The National Weather Service is reporting there was a ton of hail and storm damage around Miller,

Mount Vernon, and even up by Rala.

And we have more strong storms rolling in the area of Friday evening.

So, I once again want to remind you, if you have storm damage to your roof,

make sure to go with a trusted roofing company.

And my go to recommendation is always Josh and his crew over at the Pyramid Roofing Company.

They offer emergency tarping services if you need it, free roof inspections,

and discounts on new roof installs for our military and first responders.

So, if you have storm damage to your roof, or you just want to check up on your roof,

reach out to Josh today.

You can find all of the contact information for the Pyramid Roofing Company

under the Sarah's Endorsements tab at ksgf.com.

That's Rachel's Talk 101.

I'm Nick Reed and Thursday means author of the week,

sponsored by ABC Books on North Clinton Stone.

And today, we've got Drew Thomas Allen,

columnist for the Daily Signal host of the Drew Allen Show podcast

and author of America's Last Stand for Christ in Country,

the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk and his latest book,

Clinton Hoax Obamacou,

the declassified story of the Trump Russia delusion.

And for a lot of people, they may think this seems dated,

but it hasn't been relatively, or has been relatively recently,

that so much of the information that really validated

what we suspected came out through declassification.

And best I can tell, let me know if this is an accurate headline of it all.

At some point, the Clinton campaign came up with this hoax.

The Obama administration knew that there was nothing to it,

but then Trump won, so they thought let's lean into this.

Is that a fair assessment?

Yeah, it's pretty fair.

I mean, the only thing I would add is that, you know,

throughout the campaign, right, before he won election,

it was what you could call a campaign dirty trick.

And it was worse than that, because Crossfire Hurricane,

which was, of course, the FBI investigation into Trump Russia delusion,

they were spying on the campaign.

That was happening throughout the campaign season.

It started kind of late July.

And, you know, that was pretty horrific,

but it was elevated to the level of a legitimate coup on December 9th.

So Trump win election, he overcomes the hoax.

And instead of acknowledging, hey, we gave it our best shot,

you know, we being Obama Clinton, the Democrats, the deep state,

you know, but he won.

Okay, let's just let it go.

They didn't let it go.

They escalated.

So it was Barack Obama who'd been elevated to a coup by,

on December 9th, ordering the intelligence community assessment

that then would give the government stamp of approval to the hoax

to make it seem legitimate.

And obviously that led to the Mueller investigation

at Hobbled Donald Trump's first term.

And the intention, of course, was to undermine the will of the American people.

Oh, it seems as if before December 9th,

there were maybe mixed messages going on.

And you can correct me if my timelines were on this.

But I remember during the campaign,

there was an event.

I want to say Obama was hosting the president of some country at the White House.

And he was asked about Trump sowing doubt in the election.

And he really mocked the idea that any country could ever interfere

in our election, noting that because of the way the different states

have the different ways of handling their states, voters,

that it just wasn't feasible that there could be any sort of actual interference

in our elections.

But it appears as if during that same period of time

is when you had the Hillary Clinton campaign that was trying to stir some of this up.

And even the FBI spying on the campaign,

is all of that happening during the same period of time?

Yeah, sort of happening during the entire time.

Obama would say a couple things to lend a little bit of credibility to it.

But he really stayed for the most part in the shadows working behind the scenes.

And what they knew was,

Barack Obama and the White House,

they're actually unclassified email system,

had been hacked by the Russians back in 2014.

And the New York Times reported on a year later in 2015.

So, you know, the Russians were constantly engaged in this type of activity.

As a matter of fact, the Russians had hacked into back in, you know, 08,

when Obama was then just a candidate for president.

They hacked into some of his eight emails and things like that.

So, you know, the idea that the Russians were, you know,

interested in, you know, trying to elect Trump and interfere in such a way

was preposterous based on reality and history.

And furthermore, you know, in the book,

there's a chapter called the problem with the premise.

And that is the idea that in any world, Putin and the Russians,

would rather have Trump as president instead of Hillary Clinton,

which was the best thing that happened to the Russians for foreign policy

in a very, very long time since the Cold War.

You know, it was Hillary Clinton and Obama who misled and actually

withheld information about investigations into the Russian companies

that were buying our uranium, with the uranium deal.

It was, of course, you know, Barack Obama, who famously before his re-election,

went over to Russia and told the Russians, you know,

hey, you know, I just need a little bit of time here.

And then I'll have some flexibility.

I've just got to win the election first, you know.

He was the one who wanted to reset relations and, you know,

improve them with Russia, right?

So it was completely insane.

But the declassified documents, I mean, the gist of them,

what's so important is that the FBI and CIA, the intelligence community,

during the election season, was intercepting Russian memos

that were intended for Vladimir Putin.

So the Russians were spying on us, certainly.

And the irony of it all is that the most accurate portrayal

of what the Democrats and Clinton campaign in DNC

were up to comes from the Russians, actually.

You know, these memos weren't propaganda.

They were legitimate, obviously intended for Putin's eyes.

So they were doing the job that actually our journalist should have done.

But they chronicled the fact that Hillary Clinton was planning this scheme

to tie Donald Trump to Putin, that Barack Obama, you know,

was interested in making all this go away.

That Loretta Lynch, the attorney general, was communicating with the

E. Clinton through back channels to update her on the email scandal.

I mean, and all this stuff was verifiable, you know,

was you could corroborate it because it was happening in real time.

We're talking with our author, the week Drew Thomas Allen,

the book, Clinton Hokes, Obama, Koo, the declassified story

of the Trump Russian delusion, Russia delusion.

You mentioned the then attorney general, Loretta Lynch.

And there was what, if I recall, it was a local photographer

that revealed Clinton getting on her plane on the tarmac.

I think it was in Nashville.

I could be wrong on the details area relevant.

But we were told once that was revealed that, oh, you know,

I just want over there to talk about grandkids and so forth,

which of course on its face is ridiculous.

What was taking place, or what do we know was taking place during that,

that visit?

Yeah, well, we know that the FBI and the Obama administration

were trying to figure out a way to make her scandal go away.

And at the same time that they were trying to make that go away,

they were in the process of, you know, elevating this steel dossier,

this raw, unverified intelligence, which obviously wasn't based on any truth,

to basically pivot and to make Trump the bad guy as well,

to try and, you know, overshadow her own scandals and impropriety.

And, you know, the tarmac meeting took place in Phoenix,

and we know from communications from the Russian memos,

that, you know, yeah, Loretta Lynch had established a back channel

to update Clinton's, that Barack Obama was personally interested

also in making this go away, that they were trying to help Clinton out.

They knew about her schemes.

And so that tarmac meeting that took place in Phoenix,

where, yeah, Bill Clinton just kind of happens to be there at the same time,

goes on to the government jet with Loretta Lynch,

and they talk for 30 minutes.

And we know because of all this information that came out,

that was declassified, that obviously, you know, a few days after this,

that's when she went and met with the FBI,

and then a couple days later, James Comey came out and said,

you know, yeah, she committed crimes,

but because of Hillary Clinton, you know, we're not going to do anything.

We don't recommend any kind of prosecutorial actions.

So we know they weren't talking about grandkids and golf on that plane.

Hillary Clinton still to this day will blame James Comey for her loss

because of the investigation,

despite the fact that he, quote, cleared her prior, you know,

to, I think it was actual election day, but why did that happen?

Why, given what the true target and goal was,

and that would be stopping Donald Trump from getting elected president,

did he end up having that investigation of Hillary Clinton?

Well, it was the only option that he had.

It was obviously to her benefit.

The other alternative was that they prosecute her,

because she lied repeatedly saying that, you know,

she didn't send any classified information on her illegal server.

That turned out not to be true.

And so what was, what was Comey supposed to do?

I mean, he had to come out and justify a way to make it go away,

and they did, there were no good options.

I mean, when you've committed crimes, you know,

and everybody knows that you've committed murder,

you know, you can't come out and just say,

oh, none of that happened.

We all lied about it.

I mean, you have to do that.

That was just, it was, there were no good options for Hillary Clinton.

That was the best thing that could have happened to her.

There's something else interesting to Nick,

and I think, you know, it's interesting,

because the plan to tie Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin

and villainize him came long before the WikiLeaks emails

even first came out, which is just an interesting timeline development.

They were all, so, you know, when the WikiLeaks stuff came out,

and the big story there was that it was Julian Assange that leaked them.

It wasn't Vladimir Putin.

So, actually, Julian Assange should have been the one that was the bad guy,

but that didn't further the Russia narrative, right?

And so, if the WikiLeaks stuff hadn't come out,

you know, she wouldn't have had the ammunition she needed

to, you know, propel that Trump Russia collusion hoax,

you know, into orbit.

And so, it's funny, like, all these things.

I mean, the WikiLeaks stuff was actually,

people think, oh, this was, it was the best thing that could have happened

for Hillary Clinton, because without it, she couldn't have launched it.

Well, and I guess because we know a lot of the successful attempts

at squashing certain investigations,

I wondered why it was that he even allowed that investigation

to take place in the first place.

It is really what my question was.

Well, if you would call me on Hillary Clinton,

if you just felt pressure like he had to,

it was so obvious that there were attempting to assist her,

or what was his motivation to actually even have an investigation.

Well, it was congressional pressure,

and it was because of Benghazi.

You know, I mean, this stuff had been going on for a couple of years.

And had you not had Benghazi,

you wouldn't have had Trump Russia collusion,

because you wouldn't have had the revelations

that she was using a private illegal server.

So, you know, this information was out there,

so they couldn't not investigate.

They had to investigate.

Right.

And the whole investigation was about trying to figure out a way,

you know, dragging their feet on how to get away from this,

because remember, at the same time that they were investigating,

her class, her illegal private server,

Peter Schweitzer released a book called Clinton Cash.

And then you had actually a secondary investigation

that was starting at the Hillary Clinton.

And that was her pay for play while she was Secretary of State.

The FBI was actually looking into that stuff.

So, they actually had two different scandals

that they were trying to figure out how to get rid of,

and this threatened, obviously, to dash her presidential ambitions.

So, I mean, it was a very, very serious thing.

I mean, all this stuff is being aired publicly.

There have been hearings on this stuff.

And so, you know, you have to have some sort of investigation.

What they had to figure out though,

was how they just kind of, kind of make it go away.

We're talking with our author, Drew Thomas Allen,

the book, Clinton Hoax, Obamacoo,

the declassified story of the Trump-Russia delusion.

What have the, I guess, the motivating factor of these folks

in the so-called deep state,

oftentimes is attributed to political ideology.

How much of it is that versus

the idea that you have, be it the FBI or the CIA,

they like someone being in the White House

that they have lots of dirt on,

because that gives them control,

or at least a lot of leverage when they want budgets,

or new buildings,

versus just an ideologically driven way of doing things.

Yeah, I mean, it doesn't begin as an ideological thing.

It's simply about power.

So, you know, what is the deep state?

You know, it's defined as basically the unelected bureaucrats

who are like cockroaches and are in there,

embedded in multiple administrations

over a long period of time.

So, they're the ones that ultimately will power.

And so, generally speaking,

whether a Republican or Democrat is elected president,

you know, that president is expected to come in there

and become a cog in the wheel.

You know, they don't have a lot of latitude

with what they're allowed to do,

because they say, look, we're here permanently.

You know, you're here for four, maybe eight,

if you're lucky and get reelected.

But you're going to leave,

and we're still going to be around.

Do you understand, Capiche?

And so, they knew that Donald Trump was never going to do that.

He wasn't going to be a cog in the wheel.

He had vocalized it on the campaign trail.

And plus, everybody knew Donald Trump.

And he was independently wealthy.

He was somebody that couldn't be easily controlled.

That just wasn't his personality either.

He was already a powerful person in the business world.

And so, you know, the presidency really was,

I mean, it was a sacrificial act in some way.

Not to say that he doesn't have an ego.

Anybody that wants to be president has to have an ego.

But that's the reality of why they came for him so hard

and why it was bipartisan.

Well, and so the final question,

Trump all along, accurately, he was constantly calling it a hoax,

which I thought really underplays it in retrospect.

But did Trump know that all of this was untrue,

simply because, well, he knew that he was not in any way,

shape or form involved, including with Russia,

or did he know what was going on?

Did he know about the December 9th meeting

and these cover-ups and all of the nefarious things

that were going on behind the scenes

in order to set him up for this coup?

Now, he knew very, very little, you know?

I mean, they underestimated the links

and the depravity of the deep state.

He had no idea.

I mean, he was totally blindsided.

I mean, he was so set up,

whether it was General Michael Flynn,

who was in trap by the FBI, you know, James Comey,

who obviously leaked a handwritten note

to a friend to give the press

that ultimately launched the Mueller investigation.

I mean, he had never experienced anything like it.

And, you know, and I mean, no president has experienced

that level of opposition before.

And this was a guy who didn't come from politics,

so he had no way of dealing with it,

if that makes sense.

You know, I mean, Reagan, for example,

had been governor of California.

So when he came into the presidency,

he had reliable people that he could put in positions.

Donald Trump, you know, part of the,

the era of his first term,

and it's not all his fault.

He didn't come from politics,

so he didn't have that robust staff

and people to trust.

He had to trust, you know, people that recommended individuals

and we know those individuals ended up being, you know, weak.

Yeah, stupid to put it mildly.

Our author of the week drew Thomas Allen.

Really appreciate your time this morning.

The book again, Clinton hoax Obamacoo,

the declassified story of the Trump,

Russia delusion author of the week,

sponsored by ABC Books on North Clinton Stone.

I'm the Springfields Talk,

one of the first alert forecast

from Ozark's first meteorologist, Tom Schmidt.

Sponsored by JNS Automotive,

today we'll see scattered showers

and thunderstorms mainly before 2pm,

otherwise mostly sunny with a high near 77.

Tonight partly cloudy with a low around 63,

four year Friday,

a 60% chance of showers

and thunderstorms throughout the afternoon

and then partly sunny skies with a high near 82,

and taking a look at Saturday,

we'll see a 30% chance of showers before 1pm,

and then mostly sunny skies with a high near 59.

I don't know the story,

but I see the headline from the Daily Mail,

Justin Bieber's Coachella performance slammed amid claims of sexism,

then there's,

there's just a couple of seemingly random stories,

but they gave me a thought,

and Sabrina Carpenter is apologized

because she was at this concert

and I'll just play the audio for,

well I guess it was Coachella,

and in the audience there was,

I don't know that you would call it cheering,

but there's this loud expression

that is apparently part of...

There's an official name for it.

Yeah, there's an official.

I actually printed off this story,

but now I don't know what I'm doing with this.

Wait a minute.

Yeah, I know. Well,

because I told, I was like,

I'm not gonna have time to talk about this.

Oh, let's see,

I still wanna do that story today.

Oh, here, okay.

So Sabrina Carpenter

addresses her reaction to cultural call at Coachella,

and the story,

so it starts with, quote,

my apologies, I didn't see the person with my eyes

and couldn't hear clearly Sabrina wrote

on a post on X, April 11th.

My reaction to spear confusion,

sarcasm, and not ill-intended,

could have handled it better.

Now I know what a...

I'm gonna let you try this.

Zog route, Zogruda is.

Zogruda, I welcome all cheers and yodels

from here on out.

The Zogruda often used by women

in the middle east

in North Africa,

is commonly done during celebrations,

such as wedding and parties.

So now, this has been a huge thing.

Now, you may not have followed this,

but don't feel bad if you haven't,

but this has made headlines

and immediately Sabrina Carpenter

really found herself being attacked by,

I mean, I don't,

I would say culturally people on the left,

and this is the instance of her

on stage.

She's starting to play a song,

and then you hear this cultural call

in her response to it.

Is that what you're doing?

I don't like it.

That's your culture, is yodeling?

Is this Burning Man?

What's going on?

This is weird.

All right, so that was pretty much it,

and it was,

and you could hear the exchange,

actually, was,

the person was not upset.

They're like, oh, it's our culture,

and Sabrina Carpenter

was doing what I actually think

is endearing for an artist to do

or a comedian,

and that is have a

off the cuff

unplanned back and forth

with someone in the audience

based off of something

that they do or they say.

You see this every once in a while,

and I think it's somewhat endearing

because they're breaking out of character,

if you will,

and it shows that they're not

just going through the motions,

but they're actually interacting

with the audience,

and that's, she just heard this.

She's like, what are you doing?

And she's like, is this like,

what is going on?

Is this Coachella?

She was being light-hearted and funny

about it.

Well, she was immediately

eviscerated by people on the left,

and one of the claims against her

that I thought was particularly hilarious

was calling her racist

because she did not know

what that call was.

Now, how can you be racist

if you have no concept

of what it is that you're even talking about?

It would be one thing

if she were making fun of it,

knowing what it was,

to claim that she was racist,

even though she may not be,

and it may be a very weak argument.

But if you were to claim,

oh, she's making fun of it,

because it is a cultural call

associated with non-white people,

but she didn't have a clue what it was.

So, I mean, we've gotten to the point now,

when you're racist,

even when you don't know racist

involved whatsoever.

And so, you know, as usual,

of course, she's got to apologize,

and a lot of this, let's be honest,

she's white.

And so, if she weren't white,

this would not necessarily be a thing,

but white people are the bad guys.

This is all part of the DEI culture

in which, if ever you don't know something,

or you make a joke about something,

or you question something

and you're a white person,

and the thing that you don't know about,

that you're joking about,

or you're questioning,

is coming from a person

or a culture that is non-white,

you are automatically bad.

I mean, that's just the default of it.

They can't generally explain to you why,

you're bad, why you're racist,

why it's because you are white.

And the irony of that entire DEI approach

is that it is built in racism.

It's all dependent on this color person,

being a bad person,

this color person,

being a good person by default

because of their color.

But anyway, so now she's done

the standard thing that you do

when you are a celebrity

and you find yourself in this position,

you grovel and use it as an opportunity to learn

and so forth and so forth.

It's become such standard cookie cutter

wrote reaction to stuff

to where, in all honesty,

it's really become meaningless,

but it's required penance

from white people in our culture today.

And so whether it's that

or the headline,

Justin Bieber under fire

because of accusations of sexism in his act,

which for Pete Sakes,

this contradiction of people on the left

who, on one hand,

criticize anyone that might have

a moral boundary line different from theirs,

yet they act like the biggest prudes

in the world on the flip side.

You know, they cry sexism all the time.

They cry, well, that's not funny.

You shouldn't joke about that.

They become these puritanical psychopaths

that run around demanding that everyone

adhere to their really almost

MCS-er-esque moral boundaries.

And there's this other headline

during the break I saw

on chaplorons in trouble again

and this time she's in trouble

because she at one point

severed herself from some association

that she had because the person

with the company had sent messages

to Epstein that weren't,

I don't believe necessarily indicative

of any sort of unsorted relationship,

but you know, just the fact that

this was somebody that was associated with Epstein

and she took a public stand

and you know, saying artists should not have to be

in these financial arrangements with companies

or people that are a violation

of their moral beliefs.

Well, she has a some big deal,

I think with Lori L.

or some other company that has,

you know, ties to something

that is considered to be really wrong and bad.

And so some of the left,

they're like, well, she's a hypocrite

because oh, she severed ties over here

for moral reasons, but why isn't she over here?

Is it because of money?

Is it because the contract's too big?

Anyhow, so the point being,

I'm wondering if at some point

these celebrities particularly musical artists

are going to get to the point

where they either just hang it up and quit

or they start ignoring this stuff

because they have created a culture

of such these monsters

that constantly just look for a reason to attack.

Look to its nitpicking on one hand

but its nitpicking on steroids,

finding any little contradiction

or anything that they can determine

to be offensive to someone.

Particularly, if you notice the three

that I mentioned, they're all white.

Justin Bieber, Bieber, Chappellrone

and Sabrina Carpenter

that are really being targeted for this stuff.

And if at some point,

there's just this leftist constant

witch hunt is going to saturate

that industry to the point

where they're just like,

we cannot keep up with this stuff anymore.

We have accommodated it.

We have supported it.

When it was a little sporadic here and there,

like anything, we can handle it in doses

but when it gets to the point that

any sort of what is normally considered

a standard performance

or any sort of just light-hearted joke

that you make while at a concert

trying to interact with the audience,

that you aren't even allowed to be human.

You're not allowed to be artistic.

You're not allowed to be what it is

that you are less you be crucified

before the masses by these left-wing activists

that are part of the DEI generation.

And I just think at some point,

we saw it with comedians

to a large degree,

a lot of comedians just quit going to college campuses.

They're like, we're just not going to do it anymore.

There's no point.

Every time you go,

there's some category

and it's almost obviously it's always on the left.

Individuals that just make it impossible

to be a comedian.

You can't tell jokes anymore.

And so a lot of them just quit going to college campuses.

It's a little bit different,

but increasingly Jewish comedians

have stopped booking events

a part of their tour in New York City

because it has become so culturally accepted

to be openly anti-Semitic

that they're just not booking shows there anymore,

which it's interesting all of these places

are culturally Democrat-run places.

And just as you see these headlines

in which these people that are

not only accommodating to the left

and have been accommodating to the left,

but oftentimes are thrown full in with the left

and they see their own people turn against them

because of something that really was not in any way

shape or form tied to racism,

tied to misogyny.

That bubble,

I just can't help but believe at some point

it's got to burst.

And the results either going to be

these people are going to quit touring.

They're going to quit having any sort of interaction

with fans.

They're going to stop utilizing social media

and completely isolate themselves off

so that there isn't room for

targeting them or they're just going to say,

you know what, I don't give a crap

what you think anymore.

This is who I am and if you don't like it, go shove it.

Personally, I'd like to see the ladder of the two occur.

The previous segment is using an example

some recent criticisms that a number of celebrities

who are generally very accommodating, supportive

and even all in with left-wing causes

but the left has really been targeting and attacking them.

Justin Bieber, being one, Sabrina Carpenter,

being one in Chapel Rhone,

also being one of them.

Sarah asked me like,

where's that article?

Because I was kind of vague on the details

of the criticism she's getting

because that particular story wasn't the point

as much as the overall environment

that the left has created for artists in this country.

But I don't know that there's a lot of news coverage

about this particular witch hunt.

If you want to call it that uproar,

it's primarily been online.

And so there's some attention being paid

to it, but essentially why it is that people

on the left are really after her now

is because she had, at one point,

had a deal with, it was an MAC partnership.

And the first hat, let's see,

the comfort that MAC,

she had a relationship, it was a partnership.

And it was one that would end up being separated

because there was scrutiny of Casey Wasserman.

I want to make sure, okay, let me back this up.

Chapel Rhone facing a messy image problem.

But the story is not as clean as a simple hypocrisy charge.

Singer made a public break from Wasserman in February,

saying she would not overlook actions

that clashed with her moral values.

Days later, attention swung back to her MAC partnership

because that brand sits inside S.D. Lauder corporate world.

The overlap is fueled questions about where

Rhone draws her ethical lines.

The Chapel Rhone back lashes real.

Even if the facts are more layered,

then the loudest takes suggest.

The first half of the story is straightforward.

Rhone set on Instagram that she was no longer represented by Wasserman.

And wrote that no artist should be expected

to overlook actions that conflict

so deeply with their moral values.

Forbes and ABC's AP pick up both reported

that her exit followed renewed scrutiny of Casey Wasserman

after the Justice Department documents released,

surfaced old emails with Glaine Maxwell.

Wasserman had not been accused of wrongdoing

in connection with Epstein and the reporting

around Rhone's departure has consistently made that point.

The complication is her MAC deal.

MAC officially named Rhone,

its newest global brand ambassador on December 8th.

And the partnership has continued into 2026

through brand promotions and campaign material.

That matters because critics are comparing

a very public value statement she made regarding this

because ultimately what it boils down to

is Ronald Louder of Estee Lauder

had stayed in contact with Epstein through 2017 and so forth.

And so people are saying,

okay, well, you dropped your representation over here

because of connections to Epstein.

But you have this lucrative deal with Estee Lauder

with a similar type connection.

Why aren't you dropping that one?

So anyway, those are the brief details of why it is

that the left is targeting Chapel Rhone now.
