John & Gordy Show: Pentagon Sense of Humor, AI voices against Guns, MAGAs part with their money, Tenn. to Ban Cold Beer?
A look at the John & Gordy Show on WMDX 92.7 Monday….
1. PENTAGON CONFRONTED WITH MOVIE CHARACTER COMPARISONS TO REAL WORLD VILLAINS:
As the TWEET X said: “This actually happened at the Pentagon briefing yesterday. It is real. It really happened. Maj. Gen. Ryder @PentagonPresSec….” Who doesn’t like this Maj. General now?
Context here…..Jeff Schogol is a reporter for @TaskandPurpose, a news, culture and analysis site for the military community.
The audio starts with reporter Jeff Schogol’s first question, and about 1 minute 5 sec. in his 2nd question:
Updating the @JSchogol73030 @TaskandPurpose supercut montage to include NEW references yesterday to James Bond and Red Dawn movies … with special Gen X-flavored appearances and responses by Maj. Gen. Ryder @PentagonPresSec

2. AI VOICES OF TEENAGERS COMING BACK TO HAUNT REPUBLICANS:
One of the most incredible responses yet by parents of children killed by assault weapons. If this doesn’t get a politicians attention, nothing will. Horrifying, sad, and giving a voice to those who can no longer be heard…
ENGADGET: Their children were shot, so they used AI to recreate their voices and call lawmakers.The parents of a teenager who was killed in Florida’s Parkland school shooting in 2018 have started a bold new project called The Shotline to lobby for stricter gun laws in the country. The Shotline uses AI to recreate the voices of children killed by gun violence and send recordings through automated calls to lawmakers, The Wall Street Journal reported.“I’m back today because my parents used AI to recreate my voice to call you,” says the AI-generated voice of Joaquin Oliver, one of the teenagers killed in the Parkland shooting. “Other victims like me will be calling too.” At the time of publishing, more than 8,000 AI calls had been submitted to lawmakers through the website.
3. MAGA Cult willingly give what little money they have, living paycheck to paycheck, to pay for this former grifting president? Sure, it will happen…watch the coffers fill.
4. TENNESSEE MAY BAN THE SALE OF…COLD BEER?
I know, having an overwhelming super majority in the Tennessee legislature and having a governor willing to sign every bill, it would be tempting to exercise power that would stretch past the boundaries of reality, but who would have guessed this…in the words of reporter Phil Williams:
Yes, in Tennessee, there is a debate over cold beer! https://t.co/5oR2fJdN1K

5. ‘God & Country’ Review: A Bracing, Rob Reiner-Produced Primer on the Dangers of Christian Nationalism.
The film points out in exhaustive detail, Christian Nationalism is very much a political, rather than religious, movement. The movement claims that America is a Christian nation and that the founders intended it as such. It seeks to roll back feminism, LBGTQ rights and abortion, and to either introduce Christianity to public schools or substitute them with private Christian schools funded by vouchers.
That a large majority of the population opposes these things doesn’t faze them in the least. But it does motivate them to prevent people from voting.
The film ends where it began, with footage of Jan. 6 insurrectionists proudly bearing crosses, signs emblazoned with bible verses, and pictures of Jesus. What it doesn’t provide, unfortunately, is a persuasive prescription for how we’re going to prevent our country from descending from democracy to theocracy.
BONUS: The following video came out in 2014 predicting the power of AI…my Gen Z son started playing this for me and I could not stop laughing. This guy threw every possible cliche into it. Hope you find this even remotely funny, or I’m going to think they were right, there is something definitely wrong with me….
