Enlighten me. What exactly are you doing Molly Ringwald other than looking fucking sad in your bedroom? What was Gail or whatever, Gadda, whoever played Wonder Woman? What was she doing singing fucking imagine during the Rona? Like, what are you doing and how are you helping? At the end of the day, in this communist country that we live in, you have millions of dollars and you're comfortable in life and you live in a nice house and your kids are set for life. And you sit behind a fucking iPhone and tell people how bad the world is while saying that I won't my mess. Like, I feel like that's me sometimes I'm talking about my radio station to tell you the truth.

All I do is sit around and bitch about it and don't do anything to help it. I'm Molly Ringwald when it comes to bitching about how to make our radio station better. So I'm guilty of certain shit too. But anyway, let's do this. Let's play a couple commercials. And then let's play Molly Ringwald, the excitement of Pretty and Pink. Yes, Pretty and Pink herself, Molly Ringwald, adding some insights, if you will, insights on protests and everything else, and letting you know that she will no longer be silent.

All right. So here is the star of the Breakfast Club, Molly Ringwald. And look, that's not fair that I'm being condescending towards the movie she's been. And she's been in some good movies. Three iconic 80s movies, right? That's not fair. That's a stray. I'm lobbying stray.

She's taking strays. But anyway, here is Molly Ringwald, who is despondent and sad. I wouldn't even say despondent. Despondent's like Jimmy Kimmel who just sobs on TV all the time. So I'm not going to call her despondent. I'm going to say that Molly Ringwald is just like she kind of gradually works it and works it and works it to the point where you get to the end and like she's got to work up a couple of tears to sell the video. And I think the most fascinating thing, though, is discussing why these people have to do this. Like the weird pressure they must feel to have to say something.

But anyway, let's play a little bit of this. I don't spend a lot of time doing this, talking to you like this, unless I'm, I don't know, recommending a foundation or telling you to get your kids vaccinated against meningitis. I really don't need to be lectured by Molly Ringwald, but anyway, we continue. But I feel like I can't stay silent and neither should you. So what I'd like to know, and I haven't listened to all of this. this audio, like I recorded it on mute so I could, like, not hear the audio. I'd like to be surprised by the Molly Ringwall audio. My question would be is, so you can't be silent any longer fine. Cool. You can't be silent. What will your speaking out do exactly? Like, that's what I hope

she gets to us. What you hope to accomplish by speaking out, what you think the star of the breakfast club, what your speaking out will accomplish. That's what I'm looking for here. There's something horrible, horrible going on in our country right now. Double horribles, so it's serious. And we have one of the greatest countries had, one of the greatest countries in the world. So now America is no longer one of the greatest countries in the world. So, I mean, again, my first thought would be you could leave. So here's what I would do if I were having a conversation.

So I'd say, Molly, tell me what other countries are greater. And if those countries are so much better and you hated here so much in this house that you're pretty safe in recording this video wearing your weird black beanie and your, You're all, I also, I love that she's wearing all black. She's got like a black turtlene on and a black beanie on. She's like, this is serious. She's dressed for a fucking funeral. But like, please, like anytime someone says, I'm like this horse, then ask them what country is better.

And if that country is better leave, because I'm sure you'll be able to get in there easily, right? A lot easier than it is to get into America. So go there. Right? That would be the response. And I've always been so proud to be an American. But right now, this is a fashion. government. And now she's getting into the play sheet. She's getting into whatever newsletter went out to these people, where she's using all like the trigger words or all the key words that you have to use in these things, like, you know, fascist government. It's not becoming a fascist government. It is a fascist government. I wonder if at some point she'll tell us that freedom of speech has been taken away, because that's another thing that a lot of the left wing people are doing now is they're telling you that go out and speak your mind and you get assassinated in the streets.

is brutalizing people. And I don't care how you identify if you're a Democrat, if you're a Republican, if you're independent. I think you probably do care. If you don't like to be political at all, it doesn't matter. You have to look at what kind of country you want to live in. And I prefer to live in that country where left-wing people try to cancel people over words all the time and then claim that they're being, that we're living in a fascist country. I like to live in a country where you walk around in downtown St. Louis, which is something that happened in St. Louis when I was there. A gentleman got executed, execution style.

Another guy just walked up and shot him in the back of the skull and broad daylight in St. Louis. Boy, that's the country I'd like to live in. Don't think that I need to remind you. You know, just give a little history lesson here. Well, let's see how much we know about history from Molly Ringwald. Quick. Sorry from Claire. It's a fat girl's name. It's a family name. But, you know, if you look at what happened in France where...

And this is what these people do is they also like to lecture you. That's like kind of their elitist thing they do. Is they're like, well, let me give you a little bit of a history lesson, please. Thank you, Molly Ringwald. I appreciate it. She's going to tell us about France. I lived for, you know, a few years in my 20s. Humble Bragg. You know, they were taken over by the Nazis. They were invaded. They were taking over.

And a lot of people, a lot of people collaborated. And then there were people that did not collaborate and were part of the resistance. Eventually, they got their country back. And those people who collaborated were found to be criminal. And that is what. going to happen. I mean, you should not support what is going on just because... So just to be clear, I think I know where she's going here. Molly Ringwald, huge celebrity movie star, Molly Ringwald wants you to know that if you're somebody who voted for Trump

or you're like, hey, it's kind of unfortunate that this guy got shot, but you know, a way to not get shot is to just not go out and start shit and whatever, right? Which is fair. I think it's a fair thing to say. Like, you know, who doesn't get shot? People who don't go to protest, right? Okay, cool. Whatever. But I'm guessing that where we're going with this here is she's going to let you know that if you're not basically, she wants you to know politics, she doesn't care what your politics are. Remember, she has said that. I don't care what your politics are. But if your politics are that you're on the side of the right wing people or the Trump or whatever, she's probably going to let you know that you're a Nazi and that maybe you should be tried for crimes when this is all

sudden done. These are human beings. Oh, she's starting to get emotional, by the way, the voice is breaking. And we are human beings and we cannot forget our humanity. You guys always forget your human. Again, this is not a pro right wing, whatever, but this is just the person I happen to be ridiculing here. These people do not care about humanity. They care about themselves. They care about what makes them look good. As long as you believe what they believe they care about humanity. Outside of that, they couldn't give two fucks. But if you don't care about that, if you only care about yourself, then realize that you are going to be seen as a collaborationist.

Okay? So just so you know, if you're sitting back today going, well, I'm sure glad I wasn't the one that went out on the streets and got shot to death. You're a collaborationist. If you're only thinking about yourselves here, then like these people love to take these moments in history and turn them into these. Here's what happens with a lot of people, especially in this era, is people want to make believe like they're part of some hugely significant time in history. They create these problems and then they try to solve these problems so they can be on the right side of history.

They want to have their civil rights movement. They want to have their Montgomery bus boycott. They want to have their sit-ins. Like they want to go back and in 50, 60, 70 years from now, they want to be looked upon as people who change the world. So they create a lot of fucking drama and then try to solve the drama so then they can be considered heroes in the same vein as a Rosa Parks or as a Martin Luther King, like that's what they aspire to do. Don't think that they have ulterior motive. They want to be concerned. Because they always say it. I want to be on the right side of history.

They want people to know that they were right. And I don't think that anybody wants that. I don't think that anybody wants to be on the wrong side of history. Ah, there it is. That's another one of those keywords there in your email that goes around right side and wrong side of history. Five gold stars, Molly Ringwald. So please, please use your voice and protest.

You know, these are children. Now it's a call to action, as we say in radio. Like, hey, we're giving away Lincoln Park tickets. Give us a call now. Be caller 10. It's a call to action. So Molly Ringwald, who I guess considers herself protesting because she's sitting in her bedroom. Bear walls, by the way.

I would have expected Molly Ringwald to have a little bit more on the walls. But Molly Ringwald's sitting here in her black turtleneck and her little hat. And Molly Ringwald wants you to know that you should get out. in protest. You must get out in protest while Molly Ringwalt's sitting on her fucking ass in her house posting videos because that's what makes her a hero or or Bruce Springsteen is out of your writing new songs about this shit. That's the way for people to be considered heroes yet they're not out there in the front lines actually doing a fucking thing. These are children who are being taken away from their parents. These are mothers who are being killed. These are fathers. These are

These are ICU nurses. These are people. And then they like to make sure you know that some job is actually more. Like I like when they specify what job this person had because it somehow makes his life more valuable than someone else. And that's another thing is when you start hearing from these people and you wonder what makes somebody's life more valuable to them. Right. It's the same concept as when you watch the award shows and one person gets more applause than the other in the in memoriam. You're like, how did we decide that that guy should get a louder applause than the key grip?

on this movie. But that's how these things work. That's what these people do. So now they make sure to let you know, this guy was an ICU nurse, as if to say that people who get blown away in the streets don't really matter because they weren't ICU nurses. And it's the same way that the people reacted to Charlie Kirk because he was their Rush Limbaugh. It's all so fucking gross.

It's just fucking terrible. And I don't know who would want to be involved in any of this shit. Kind of goes back to the conversation yesterday, right? the conversation about whether or not I could do political talk or whatever. And that's like, I see this shit. And I'm like, you're all full of fucking shit. That are good people that now their families have to grieve them for doing nothing except for standing up what's right for what's right. Well, maybe they should have just sat at home like you and they wouldn't be dead, Molly.

again, I'm not celebrating the death of anybody or anything like that. But like your fat ass is just sitting at home. You're sitting on your pasty ass crying on camera. What are you doing? And if I'm wrong, I'll say I'm wrong about it. But what are you doing? What is Molly Ringwald doing today? Like what is Molly Ringwald doing to better society other than crying on the internet?

Please enlighten me. For keeping women from being brutalized. Oh, now they care about women being brutalized. Yes, that's what we care about. Like, again, a lot of women get brutalized by a lot of these people that they're trying to get out. And that's the problem. And that's where we've lost the plot is, and this is on Trump and this on all these guys because these things and then the media will spin it and all that. But like at the end of the day, you're trying to get rid of a lot of shitty people and they're getting rid of a lot of shitty people.

The problem is we start to ignore the shitty people and we hyper focus on the other parts of it. So like brutalizing women. I feel pretty confident that there are people that have brutalized women that they're trying to get the fuck out of the country. But how do we pick and choose which brutalized women matter? That's what I'd like to know, Molly Ringwald. I'm not trying to start shit with anybody. It's a legit question. How do we determine which brutalized woman's story matters more?

How do we determine which person's assassination or assassination attempt matters more? When you see Charlie Kirk get shot, there's a bunch of people who are super upset about that. But when somebody else that's on the other side of shit, you know, there's some sort of, of attempt. No one gives a shit on that side, right? Or what happens when, you know, everybody's super sad and hates guns and everything and everybody's offended by everything and we're trying to have our freedom of speech taken away, but then we want to cancel people for making jokes. Like, there's just so much about this whole thing. It is so fucking gross, the whole thing.

By these monsters. And they are monsters. Okay. So now everybody who's involved in ice are monsters. So then we talk about dangerous rhetoric. We hear about that all the time. Donald Trump is responsible for a lot of dangerous rhetoric. And by the way, he fucking is. There's a lot of dangerous. There's a lot of shitty rhetoric that comes out of there. A lot of shit where you go, I didn't say that.

And then you're like, yeah, we get it. Okay. But what these people are doing now is they are creating an enemy. They are creating the bad guys. They have determined that these guys are bad. What was her exact terminology here? Let's see here. And they are monsters.

Monsters. So all of these people in ICE are monsters. These people are doing a job. and are they doing some of it poorly? Yeah, there's some fucked up things that are happening. But what happens when, you know, and I don't have the list in front of me, but last time I checked a lot of fucking people were deported when other people were in office too. And I'm going to guess that a lot of the people that they're getting rid of,

and maybe this is blind faith, which could be my bad, but I feel like there's probably a shitload of people who are getting kicked out of here that are shitty people that may brutalize women. So the idea that these people are all monsters, that's the other thing these, these jagweed celebrities do when they sit in their little houses and film their little videos and sing imagine is they throw a blanket over all of these people and they call them terrible and they call them horrible and they call them monsters. And then they're like, we've never said anything. And then, yeah, they're monsters. So all these people in ice are monsters. Got it. They are human beings as well, but they have forgotten that they're human beings and they have become monsters. They have forgotten

that they are human beings. I'm going to guess they didn't. But again, this is now the new script that's, I guess, been sent out to these people. I'm guessing I'm not part of the newsletters, so I don't know. But what's happened is these people now get the newsletter. And these people come out and they're like, well, now we got to start making sure we start comparing these people. So it's either this. It's either these people are all completely, are all in on the same group text, or they're just so unoriginal that they rip each other off. but they're all saying the same shit Kimmel

fucking Colbert all these mouthpieces that's their whole thing that's the new tagline is that these people are monsters and that they're Nazis and unless you're Colbert who said they're actually worse

than the Nazis please don't let yourself become like that please remember your humanity yeah well don't worry I'm not gonna go out on the street with some armor on and go shoot some people you don't have to worry there Molly everything's fine on my end

think about your kids Don't have any, but I love my dog. Think about your grandkids. I'm never going to have grandkids, Molly, but okay. Think about your sister and your brother. Sure. These are all people who have kids or fathers or mothers or aunts and uncles and people who love them. Yeah.

And we all have people that love us and we love people. Thank you, Molly. I mean, I hope that we love people. I certainly do. Oh, God. I certainly love people. I am Molly Ringwald, star of 16 candles. And I love people.

And I sure as hell hope you monsters do. Please do the right thing and stand up and use your voice. Thank you. Thank you. And then, like, just think she recorded that. And she's like, man, that's solid. I think I'm going to go with that one. First take.

Like, what the fuck are we doing? What the fuck is happening here, man? It's like, again, my question would be, what are you accomplishing? You're sitting in a bedroom telling people who, 90% of them, 95, have no fucking clue who you are. You're like, go out and let your voice be heard. And these people are monsters and you're putting targets now on these guys who are trying to do their job. Thanks, Molly Ringwald. And then you got Colbert.

Like, it's calculated is the problem. And look, I'm not telling you that shit doesn't happen on both sides, that we are fucked. She's not wrong in this sense. There's a lot of fucked up shit. But like the, it just, it's all feels calculated and orchestrated. And it's, all of it's gross. It feels calculated and orchestrated. Because they're all saying the same shit.

I think part of it is they're just a bunch of uneducated famous people that hear other uneducated famous people say shit and they parrot them. I think that's the biggest thing. Like these are actors. They're fucking C students who all of a sudden get a little bit of money and a little bit of fame. And all of a sudden they're fucking Rhodes scholars and theologists and shit. and they have the shit to say. So,

anyway, so that's what we're dealing with with most of these morons now. Again, this kind of goes back to the original point of all this, which was and is, like really, who gives a flying fuck about what celebrities say? Like,

there's celebrities I like. We talked about it. Like, I really like Sammy Hagar. I have no idea what he believes in politically. He just seems like a good guy that you'd love to shoot the shit with. Tell me Sammy Hagar

doesn't seem like a cool guy to shoot the shit with. Tell me when you sit down with Sammy Hagar, do you think you're going to get lectured about how you're a piece of shit? I don't think so. Get a little tequila in him, have a good time. Maybe you'll play a little pound cake. And life will be good. But like you sit down with some of these fucking left-wing celebrity people.

You're like, bro, like, why would anybody like you? Why would anybody spend money? Like, that's the other thing is, and I was having this conversation with someone. It was someone that wanted to go see John Mellencamp. And I was explaining to this person why I would not want to give John Mellon camp any of my money. Mine wasn't even a political thing. Mine was this guy quits in the middle of shows, admonishes the audience, tells them that their pieces of shit, basically, and that basically treats the audience like shit. And I'm like, well, why would I want to spend my money to go see a guy who's going to walk off stage if he feels like the crowd is not acting the way he thinks they should?

And he just is always an asshole. There's nothing likable about him. And because I don't think 100% of the way he thinks, he'd probably think I was a piece of shit. Why would I give John Mellon Campany of my money? And he goes, that's just not the way to look at. I would. I mean, why? I'm never, like, that's a bad way to look at things.

I'm like, no, it's not. Like, if somebody walked into your house right now or someone, you knew someone, and they just talk shit about you nonstop, would you want to be their friend? Would you want to buy them breakfast? What are you a fucking masochist? Like, self-loathing masochist? Like, why would you ever do? that. Why would that be your M.O?

Like, you would be a cuck. We've had that discussion a lot. Going out and supporting people who call you a piece of shit makes you a cuck. You're a fuck boy. Right? Like, look, I'd go see, musically, I'd go see John Mellencamp all day. And if I knew that John Mellencamp wasn't going to quit in the middle of a show and I knew that John Mellencamp was going to sing the hits and sing them the way I know the way they sound, then I'm sure I'd go see John Mellencamp. But John Mellencamp also basically calls the audience a piece shit pretty frequently. He's a jerk off. So why would I give him my money? That's the same with a lot of these celebrities. Like they sit back in their little houses and they all jerk each other off

after they post their little, you know, go out and have your voice be heard. You're basically doing a call to action. You're having people do your bidding. A lot of, the reason why people might end up getting shot. And listen, I'm giving Molly Ringwald way too much fucking credit here. because I seriously doubt like these guys that are going out and getting shot by ice are like, you know what, I wasn't going to do anything, but fucking Molly Ringwald, she got my dander up and now I'm going to go take it to the streets of Minnesota. Like, I seriously doubt anybody gives two fucks about what Molly Ringwall has to offer. But like, you're basically sending people out into the front lines while you sit at your house and bake fucking cookies, Molly Ringwald. While you sit around and cry and you're like, ooh, is it about time for me to record a new video, me being sad?

Hold on. Let me put on my black turtleneck. I look like fucking sprockets over here. Let me put on my fucking sprockets and let's go. So, anywho, that's what you're dealing with with a lot of these fucking morons. That's why, like, I don't understand why you'd ever give your attention or your, or really, your money or your time to any of these people. Like, I guarantee you if I sat down with people like Molly Ringwall and, like, really, like, we kind of hashed out, like, the things we agree on and just, I'm sure there'd be a bunch of things we agree on. But they don't want to hear that.

That's not their thing. like they have now created this world and both sides have done this but we've created this world where if you're super left wing there's nothing a right wing person can like about you and if you're super right wing there's nothing a left wing person can like about you and nobody wants to acknowledge that they're all part of the fucking problem because it's the other side that's the problem and as long as your side wins everything is fine then you throw in the fact that our social media is designed to make us hate each other

and fight with each other and show us everything that we hate so we'll fight with people and just stay angry. You think shit's ever going to get any better? Fuck, no. It doesn't matter who the president is. Doesn't matter who the fucking vice president. It doesn't matter anything. It's ever going to get better.

That's all this shit is. Anyway, more to come.
