It is a new day. Welcome my friends to the P's Peeps podcast, number 192. I wonder if anything is happening today. Hmm, I look out my studio window. It is a gorgeous day. Been doing some work around the place, organizing and staying in shape. What if there's anything happening on this particular Monday?
Speaker 2:Please raise your right hand and repeat after me I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear. I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute, that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, the office of President of the United States and will to the best of my ability and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Speaker 2:The Constitution of the United States. So help me God, so help me God. Congratulations, mr President. Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and indeed to take my life donald trump inaugurated today.
Speaker 1:We all know that A lot of people have been waiting for this day. It never ceases to amaze me the things that happened. Tiktok is back up. Trump isn't even in the office yet and I noticed TikTok is back up. Trump says he was going to help TikTok. The owner of the Chinese who own TikTok said thank God for Trump, who understands our platform. I noticed today it's back up Obviously. Yesterday was supposed to be that the hostages were coming back from Hamas, getting returned from Hamas. I never agree with giving any prisoners up, ever these violent criminals. But however, the families will be nice to have the hostages back. That happens the day before Trump takes office.
Speaker 1:Okay, so on this Monday, donald Trump taking office, and I have to tell you in watching his inauguration speech, is it just me? I absolutely loved, cherished, just enjoyed so very much watching to the right of the screen, my TV screen, chuck Schumer, kamala Harris, you know, hillary Clinton, you know you got Obama over there and Bill. Bill seems to have. Bill seems like he's doing bong rips or something before he goes in there. You ever look at him. All this, everyone else, is no one's. You know, no one wants to applaud.
Speaker 1:They're all straight-faced Bill's back there like hey man you know, hey, I mean this guy ain't so bad. I kinda they're all straight-faced bills back there like hey man, you know. Hey, I mean this guy ain't so bad. I kind of like him, you know. Hey, he's just back there grinning, hillary looks, and I love Hillary and Kamala's RFBs I mean RBFs, they're RBFs today and he just laid it on thick. He knew they were right to his left. He laid it on him, man.
Speaker 2:Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. But I felt then, and believe even more so now, that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again, and I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country. Under the orders I signed today, we will also be designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and, by invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, I will direct our government to use the full and immense power of federal and state law enforcement to eliminate the presence of all foreign gangs and criminal networks bringing devastating crime to US soil, including our cities and inner cities. I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life public and private light, we will forge a society.
Speaker 1:I'm going to pause right there. I love that. Hate me if you want. That's okay. Disagree with me if you want. Thank you, we'll continue to socially. We will discontinue socially engineering race and gender. We'll do things based on merit. How about that? Based on merit. Who cares what your race is? Who cares what your gender is? It'll be based on merit, thank you.
Speaker 2:It's colorblind and merit-based yes.
Speaker 1:Thank you. Thank you, common sense.
Speaker 2:As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders male and female. How about that? That there are only two genders, male and female? How?
Speaker 1:about that. Imagine the meltdowns that are about to happen. Imagine they. Oh, I'm sure they already began the meltdowns after that statement. Listen, you got the biggest applause right there. You know, if you notice that and then and then, another thing he says in there that I really liked in listening to it today was he was going to stop the. Uh, what was it? The electric car mandate. Can you imagine biden sitting right there? And you know el Elon Musk, he makes the electric cars. You don't hear him bitching about that.
Speaker 2:This week I will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate with full back pain Wow.
Speaker 3:Wow.
Speaker 2:And I will sign an order to stop our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and social experiments while on duty. It's going to end immediately. Wow, okay, our armed forces will be free to focus on their sole mission defeating America's enemies. Defeating America's enemies Like in 2017, we will again build the strongest military the world has ever seen. We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end and, perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.
Speaker 1:Wow, just seething over there, Schumer Kamala, Joe just seething, I think Joe's seething. I don't know what kind of face that is.
Speaker 3:Where am I? What?
Speaker 2:My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. That's what I want to be a peacemaker and a unifier. I'm pleased to say that as of yesterday one day before I assumed office the hostages in the Middle East are coming back home to their families.
Speaker 1:That's right. What an odd coincidence. Now, so here's the point. Here is the point in the speech where you see Schumer, you see Hillary, you see Bill, you see Joe trying to get up. God bless him.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to make fun of anyone for their age'm not going to do that. I'm simply not. I respect a man and a woman's age. I respect my elders in that way, on a human level, but he's going to stand up and applaud. The last one to get up you can see it is Kamala, where I freeze frame, freeze-framed this at 8.08 in this video. Kamala's still sitting. Everyone else, even Biden, is almost up, but Kamala's still sitting down. And you should still see Jill Biden staring a hole through the side of the head of Kamala, just staring a hole through it, man. And now she got up. Oh my God, kamala just got up and you should see Jill Biden's face glaring at her. It's amazing. I mean you know maybe I'm reading that wrong, but it just looks that way. I mean maybe she's going. What a beautiful lady she is, what a sweetheart for sitting there, thank you. But what are they going to do? Of course they're going to stand up for that, because the hostages are coming home and they're taking credit for it.
Speaker 2:America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on earth, inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world. Inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world. A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and we will restore the name.
Speaker 1:That one kind of cracks me up. I don't know why, really, we're going to change the name of the Pacific Ocean to the.
Speaker 2:You know, I don't know You're going to change geographical locations William McKinley to Mount. Mckinley where it should be and where it belongs.
Speaker 1:I agree, sir, I agree with that.
Speaker 2:President McKinley made our country very rich through tariffs and through talent. He was a natural businessman and gave Teddy Roosevelt the money for many of the great things he did, including the Panama Canal, which has foolishly been given to the country of Panama after the United States. The United States I mean think of this spent more money than ever spent on a project before and lost 38,000 lives in the building of the Panama Canal. We have been treated very badly from this foolish gift that should have never been made and Panama's promise to us has been broken. The purpose of our deal and the spirit of our treaty has been totally violated. American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way, shape or form, and that includes the United States Navy. And above all, china is operating the Panama Canal and we didn't give it to China, we gave it to Panama and we're taking it back, and we will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars.
Speaker 1:Elon Musk two big thumbs up.
Speaker 2:The inflation crisis was caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices, and that is why, today, I will also declare a national energy emergency. We will drill, baby drill, Thank you. America will be a manufacturing nation once again, and we have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth and we are going to use it. We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up again right to the top and export American energy all over the world. All over the world, we will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it. With my actions today, we will end the Green New Deal and we will revoke the electric vehicle mandate.
Speaker 2:Yes, saving our oil industry and keeping my sacred pledge.
Speaker 1:Oh, the look on the faces right there of Kamala and Joe I mean, just a look on their faces was priceless. Right there you know his electric car mandate and here Trump's going to put an end to the electric car mandate. Wow, so that's just a portion of what took place today in terms of the presidential Donald Trump inauguration speech. Very big day for sure.
Speaker 4:Meanwhile, today, on this Monday, Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King and recognize that there are ties between us all, men and women living on the earth, ties of hope and love, of sister and brotherhood, that we are bound together in our desire to see the world become a place in which our children can grow free and strong. We are bound and we are bound.
Speaker 5:There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist, there is a hunger in the center of the chest, there is a passage through the darkness and the mist, and though the body sleeps, the heart will never rest. Shine a little light, oh Lord. Shine a little light, oh Lord.
Speaker 1:Happy Martin Luther King Day. Just a little light, oh Lord, a little light, oh Lord.
Speaker 6:Wanna A little light, oh Lord. Wanna stand it on up, stand it on up, stand it on up, oh Lord. Yeah, now Wanna walk it all down. Wanna shed a little light. Shed a little light, oh Lord.
Speaker 1:Take in your life. Martin Luther King Day shed a little light, james Taylor, so this is a we face the difficulties big day of speeches of today and tomorrow.
Speaker 3:I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. I have a dream that one day, on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream Martin Luther King.
Speaker 1:Rest in peace. Always remember the great civil rights leader, martin Luther King. Some news just coming in Now, of course, the NFL playoffs. The division round took place this weekend. I am devastated as my Rams were this close. Literally they were maybe one offensive line penalty away.
Speaker 1:Movement on the offensive line from the Rams beating the Eagles in a snowstorm yesterday. I think at one point everyone thought the Eagles were going to win that game. Saquon went off for three huge runs. Don't get me started about the blatant holding play on the run because I don't want to give excuses, but it's true on two of those runs. But that's okay. Whatever, that's okay.
Speaker 1:I don't take anything away from the Eagles, but the elements were tough for both teams. But I think after the long the last one he ran, everyone thought, well, that's it, it's it. But the next thing you know the Rams, who never give up, it looked like they were going to win. Do you know if they hadn't have fumbled a couple of times with that bitter cold, if big, if a couple of turnovers like that? You know they had almost what? 500 yards in offense, I think, in that game in the snow they were moving the ball so it went from. I think everyone believing the Eagles just hammered it, that's it. That's the nail in the coffin when Saquon went wild on them. But I also believe just as much with my heart that at the very end those same people were going oh boy, the Rams are actually going to come back and win this game. Even the announcers you heard them say the Rams are playing to win. I mean they were. I was absolutely 100, 99% certain they were going to win that game at the end, so I'm very proud of them. People didn't expect they were going to do because game at the end, so I'm very proud of them. People didn't expect they were going to do it because people don't know the team. I knew they would be good, just if they had to be healthy. But I'm going to say this about my team as they move forward Look out the rest of the NFL. That team put up what? 17, was it 17 sacks in the last two games. No other team in the history of the National Football League in the playoffs has done that, has strung together two games with that many sacks. And that's just a rookie, basically a rookie, and a two-year player team, second-year player team. Wait till next year. I'm telling you now. But Ben Johnson, there's a report now coming in that Ben Johnson, there's a report now coming in that Ben Johnson, who is the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, is now going to jump ship and he is going to become the new head coach of the Chicago Bears, who were dismal this year. So that's the news coming in.
Speaker 1:Now let's go to the Lions. How about the Lions? Wow, top seed in the NFC.
Speaker 1:I said it on my show by the way, I'm the host of the Pat Wall Show on KFBK and on iHeartRadio. I said on the air, and I didn't mean to be disparaging, it's just the way I felt the Lions aren't going to win the Super Bowl. They're the only NFC team, I believe, that hasn't been in a Super Bowl. I think there have been others who have not won them, right? My brother, jim, is a Vikings fan. There are some others too, but I don't think. But I know I think they're the only team that has not been in a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1:So you got to feel for the Lions fans. I know some of the country whose teams were not in the mix. They were probably rooting for the Lions, you know, because it's been forever, and who knows how long the Lions will be good like this. I mean, that goes for every team, though. So on the other hand, you had the commanders, who Jaden I mean God, jaden Daniels looks amazing. Holy smokes, I mean. I think this is one of the best rookie quarterback seasons that I have seen. This young man is really looking good, and I got to commend him. The team looks good. The team came and smacked him, boy, they smacked Detroit. So what about this smack? How about this whap? Come on, they pounded them. Detroit didn't know. I hit them. Talk about biting in the kneecaps. Dan Campbell oh boy, man. And I felt for Campbell. You know, boy, that was tough post post game for SeanVay too Tough for both of those guys.
Speaker 1:But congratulations to the Eagles and to the Commanders Over in the AFC. Of course I did pick the Bills and they won. They beat the Baltimore Ravens. That game too. That was almost like a repeat of the the Rams game and the Eagles game, playing in the snow, very cold, two very good quarterbacks going at it, two guys, I guess, considered perhaps MVP candidates this year Mark Jackson, josh Allen, they look good, but in the end, buffalo, you know, buffalo goes to the Super Bowl if I'm going to get that monkey off their back. Where they win, I mean that team. They lost four in a row. That's a hard luck team, like the Vikings, but I mean they could go to the Super Bowl. They got a legit chance of you know they're legit. And now they take on the Kansas City Chiefs. They were trying to make NFL history and looking for a three-peat. I have heard from so many fans of other teams going whatever happens not the Chiefs.
Speaker 1:I'm sick of the Chiefs. I heard the same thing about the Patriots. I'm sick of the Patriots. That's what happens, man. Everyone gets all envious of you, I get it. It that's what happens, man. Everyone gets all envious of you, I get it. It's like, how do they keep winning? But they do so. That'll be good.
Speaker 1:This is a big rematch for these two teams. We all know the past history, including what Kansas City scoring in like what, 13 or 15 seconds or whatever it was to win that game Still one of the more remarkable comebacks I've seen. But anyhow. So there, you got those guys, so you got Kansas City moving on, and that should be a good game. Buffalo, kansas City and Buffalo. So those are your last four remaining, and Ben Johnson looks like he's going to the Bears and my microphone is Okay. Here we go, try this. So, by the way, I just want to say this I'm finding these letters. I've been going through some stuff, sorting things and organizing and going through these letters. If I can find the other one. I've debated forever to share these with anyone, but I may do that. If I can find the other one, tomorrow I will read these to you. You won't believe it.
Speaker 1:I mean, you will not believe these letters. Let's see how about this? I'm going to get to what else? Do I have anything else? I'm going to get to some music. Okay, let's do some music.
Speaker 1:I pulled this record off my my rear, my vintage collection there on my rear 45s. It is a I love bang records. That's so cool. It's a yellow record label. This 45s yellow record label looks like this record's been played. It looks in good condition but it looks like it's been played. Bang records. It's got a radio like someone stamped it with those ink stampers september 73. It's got a radio like someone stamped it with those ink stampers September 73. Let's see this one. I don't see where it says not for sale promotional copy, but I know that it is, at least I believe it is, but it doesn't say it. So maybe not. Yellow Label Bang Records produced by Jeff Barry. All right, so To be honest, I couldn't really find a lot about this song.
Speaker 1:I found out a lot about this. I know a lot about the song, but this particular version of the song not so much. Here on Pat's Peeps 192. Thank you for for joining me, by the way, happy monday to you. Uh, this is a 1966 song, written by john phillips, recorded by the mamas and the papas I'll just get right to it there with backing music by the members of the Wrecking Crew who were the backing music for so many big hits in different bands. And this was on the album the 1966 album, if you Can Believe your Eyes and Ears. Denny Doherty was the lead vocalist. It was the group's only number one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100. It was a mom and poppa's mom's and a poppa's only number one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100. It was a mom and poppa's mom and poppa's only number one hit on the US Billboard 100. Phillips said he wrote the song quickly, in about 20 minutes.
Speaker 1:In the lyrics the singer dislikes Monday, monday because the person he loved left him on that day. Oh, monday morning, you gave me no warning of what was to be. Song includes a pregnant pause before the coda which modulates up to a semitone, succeeding good loving by the young rascals in the number one position baby. The event marked the first time in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 that two songs with pregnant pauses were consecutive number one hits. How about that? Good love, good love, right, that's pretty good. March 2nd of 67, moms and Papas won the Grammy Award for Monday Monday, best category. Best contemporary group performance or vocal or instrumental. Now that's all good. I didn't realize, though I didn't realize, though I didn't really know that Neil Diamond made a copy of Monday Monday. Neil Diamond doing Monday Monday.
Speaker 6:Monday Monday. So good to me Monday morning. It was all I hoped it would be. Oh Monday morning. Monday morning. Couldn't guarantee that Monday evening you would still be here with me. Monday Monday Can't trust that day. Monday Monday. Sometimes it just turns out that way. Oh Monday morning. You gave me no warning what was to be. Oh Monday Monday. How could you be To not take me?
Speaker 1:Every other day, every other day, every other day of every other day, every other day of the week. It's fine. Yeah, I didn't like when he didn't hit that high note and I'm a Neil Diamond fan. He needed to hit that higher note there. That was tough. Okay, let's flip it over, though, and see what's on the other side. This song is called Now I know this isn't going to be a super tramp cover, because obviously that didn't come out till 79 but the long way home. Remember that. Take the long way home. But it did, it did, do, do. Well, I like that. That's Neil Diamond.
