Rhythmic gymnastics rhythmic gymnast ships. Synchronized swimming. Synchronized diving. Right are OK let's let's go let's talk about the let's talk about. The chick filet situation has become a national story now and a guy should give you an update on Chicago first we told you yesterday that this -- dispersed to -- he represented -- award as it was described in the sun times. It hipster ward. Is that where they were gonna open up a chick -- in this in an idea standalone building next to near home Home Depot. And so this this Alderman trying to make sure gets reelected in his hipster award. Decided to come out against check -- so now now rom Emmanuel mayor has come out and joined MC. That it doesn't the chick filet does not represent Chicago news. I'm making this Chicago -- Chicago values whatever Chicago use our Tripoli as present. But at the same this is that the same mayor. Who. Rahm Emmanuel who is now joined forces. With the nation of Islam AKA it was fair Cannes group. -- was try to cut down homicides and of course the nation of Islam is a is in notoriously. Anti semantic organization. The they did that not that they don't believe in equal rights for women and I'm just wondering. What the lowest fare cant take I'm gay marriages but but you know and you know lowest -- -- he's a black guy he's a Muslim he can be he has everywhere he has his. His beliefs are covered under the First Amendment. The AM Cathy the CU all -- but chick filet his his beliefs are not covered under the First Amendment apparently. I mean that you don't. Truly liberalism is a mental disorder how how could Rahm Emmanuel say with a with a straight face the chick -- does not have Chicago values. But the nation of Islam which -- -- which doesn't think much of women. Which I'm sure. Has a lot more hardline view -- gay mayor urged them not chick -- does. Derek they're just -- their assault with a -- They they got the they got the full of Islam -- -- them make -- had to be of the that's there were that's better. Optical -- military when a vehicle there but four of his now. They're out they're patrolling the streets to make sure that there's no more violence of course there is more violence but. You know it's like -- -- it's like mumble so you know mobilizes. He is you know he helped the the the the Muslims get battling in the Roxbury for their new mosque. Battles -- how to those Muslims feel about gay marriage but there are okay there okay. So we got some new mumbled cuts today some of homer from modest mornings from the press conferences. And some of them are from last night on the channel 25. These are some new mumbled cuts. And I don't believe a company that speaks out against gay rights and our country today. It has zip it should have. Gupta and our friends and -- and a lot of they're not discriminating as long as they're not breaking any liar -- he's it be because. Find groups. That discriminate against people. He does he ownership other's company does. The chickens -- that your show. The discriminate against people. He's against gay marriage I mean she discriminates now lol again 32 states have had and I've had a vote on gay marriage 32 states have said thumbs down to gay marriage. Even the Boston Globe I didn't notice when I met him on the show yesterday I don't read the Boston Globe somebody told me last night. Even the Boston Globe has America has come out and denounced. This absurd. Obsession about mumbled. The president of chick filet opposes gay marriage while this view goes against the grain in the state that made history by embracing it of course the globe can't resist even even when they take the right side of an issue -- -- resist putting a big Y in the first career. While this view goes against the grain in the state that made history by embracing it we embraced it so much that that we weren't allowed to vote on it. You know why we weren't allowed to vote on it because if Massachusetts had ball -- -- vote on gay marriage it wouldn't be 32 out of 32 states that turned it down it would be 33 states 33 that it turned it down. How this goes against the grain state that made history by embracing -- it's no reason for mayor Thomas Menino -- pose a chick -- restaurant in Boston. Company president Dan Cathy stirred national controversy when he said in an interview were inviting God's judgment on our nation when you shake our -- when we shake surfaced of him and say we know better than you do was to what constitutes a marriage. In response Menino told the Boston Herald -- -- that must have -- their -- -- credit us for a break in the story. Chick filet doesn't belong in Boston you can't have a business in the city of Boston that discriminates against the population how exactly do they discriminate against -- popular. I'm sorry I'm sorry you would get a we're not going to sell you -- chicken it's much or capture. Where an open city worst city that's at the forefront of inclusion. On last year disagree -- Which part of the First Amendment does Menino not understand. This the Boston Globe saying this. Beat the fact that chick filet is closed on Sundays for religious beliefs of the company's top executive don't appear to control operations. Using the power of government to freeze the company out of a city since a disturbing message to all businesses know yet. If the mayor of a conservative town try to keep Bob gates for at least our box or apple would be an outrage. Ironically. Mumbled -- citing the specific location along the Freedom Trail as a reason to block chick filet perpich camera is right behind city all. Reports going to be. A city in which business owners must pass a political litmus test is the antithesis of what the Freedom Trail represents. History will render judgment on the views of check filet executives City Hall doesn't have to you know what I'm gonna make a prediction that the us if history is in Iowa is gonna say that that. -- -- it was right in the -- and mumbled and the Boston Globe wrong but at least the the globe as saying that everybody there they're going. Now. There are no optimism. -- -- -- -- it wasn't I haven't opinions. Expressed excitement. Did did it lets you that one again I don't -- admit I was -- -- it wasn't I have an opinion. -- -- -- -- Is -- he's expressed here is opinion is religious bigotry and by the way that's it check -- is CEO has the same opinion of gay marriage. As the church that mumbled attends every Sunday. Which is really Roman Catholic Church. Okay and again a majority of the United States of America. Population. Agrees. Whip Dan -- they do not agree with Rahm Emmanuel and it and and mumbled Menino is the owner of the company. He says Paulson for the top. Half. Again. I make mistake they elementary to get from Harold that her story that was just posted on the website. The mayor -- I make mistakes all the time that's a Menino ism. I sent the landlord a letter but that's all there's no pressure by me to allow displaced to be -- that. -- was I mean does he mean deserve no pressure by meat to allow this place not to be rapid. But what. -- -- wrote 05 I got to get a Regis went to. Again this become a national story. Rosie -- -- Roseanne Barr had to stick her. Ugly -- out into this it in to this controversy. She. She she is sent out a she -- sent out a twit to -- Anyone who weeks bleed away deserves to get the cancer that is sure to come for meeting antibiotic. Antibiotic filled tortured chickens for Christ. Then she told the restaurant chain to -- gonna pretend that she doesn't have sucked my eight. Fill in the blank check -- Nazi checking bleeping. Bleep it's. Nice. Was she gonna be the vice presidential candidate for the Green Party to banish which you would have mineral addition that the -- -- running straight up the green -- I don't know she was as she was in the running should be issue is beat up by Jill Stein. Jewels the the one ran for governor few times. Jolts what's one thing about -- -- she would never send and that's facial across ever -- BP. How can she sakes how can she say when -- tell them to wash -- appendage she doesn't I mean what would it. This outbreak of -- was re tweeted by comedian Joseph Rogan who recently hosted a newfangled this is from news busters who recently hosted a newfangled version of fear factor on NBC. Shortly after her get cancer tweet she doubled out. Off to grab a -- filet sandwich on my way to worshipping craft a Christ supporting a -- in war in hiring again. Isn't -- Jewish. But she's against supporting a -- the American Israeli political action committee. And I wasn't aware that we were at war with Iran. All right. -- began trying to defend herself on Greene grounds after Shia against this that goal over big even with her even with her fans. Giving your kids cancer from processed fast food is child abuse and Christian liars. I never wished cancer are on you at all Jesus will punish you for your deceit I said processed foods cause cancer no that's not what she said. She said anyone who weeks -- -- deserves to get the cancer. But he sure to come from eating antibiotic filled tortured chickens for Christ. And most recently even almost MM followers are illiterate. What is -- what does that mean MM. Let me try again what I said was if you -- poison chicken penises you win creature chances of cancer the chicken so that's for sure. Are we a lot more here on this side of this dispute. This week. We standard is saying that this is that this could be a sister soldier move move moment for a Barack Obama he could come out and be in favor of chick filet and say we don't necessarily agree -- all their policies but you know there is a First Amendment we all have a right to disagree it's Federer. But don't effort that. Never never never never. 1877469432218774694322. 86 so on the -- lie on the on the -- mortgage -- point. How he isn't -- Rahm Emanuel some items so yes he has he's Jewish and now he partners with the nation of Islamic group that hates Israel and Jewish people. Yes yes that's what he's doing. And and the other thing is. They hate gays. OK. They hate gates. So he's angry Christians. Who say. I don't believe in gay marriage. Angry at Louis Farrakhan and the nation of Islam Hussein the same thing and in much more. Fiery. Vitriolic. Rental. -- I want. Boo he wants he wants to carry JP. Right OK where lesbians the right that's what he wants to do next time when he runs for mayor. He he's gonna win anyway. -- I and -- there it's you know he he's gonna be the mayor until until he dies he's -- he's gonna be like he's gonna go wild like daily the first. You know he's just gonna -- gonna have to take him out. Beat first I never shied away from controversy in my life. -- and you've never shied away from making a moronic statement.

You know it's amazing it's almost company's -- -- wouldn't believe -- rapid response by a lot about -- other to attack christianity. And you know -- to come out when they came out the way it. It was actually a statement in a -- that what. Later on because the rumor has it come out and they had it in any outward and the word app or game or your opinion. This is what they have been wrong about the first time an -- and it was erroneously reported by CN. Don't know -- don't know -- I don't you know the thing is a you know -- burial Obama's talking about how he's who he was taken out of context. And -- was taken a lot more context than that Obama was. Well certainly. Certainly am and it's bad for the you know it's if I was of people that own -- -- right now. I was denied access they're open up our business from Boston I would do -- to be true all the work I mean I really work. I mean it in Western -- black person you were denied because your color because the what you believe and you couldn't open my oh my god what a lot since that would be. Right no it's it's like even the globe and noticed that notice of this fact you know that if a conservative mayor said Starbucks can't open because it's pro gay. I mean that would be a national outrage I mean now but now the national outrageous kind of building it but it's hey you know taken four days. But day you know it but.
