Are You Okay with This?

Chris Hammer (0:03)

Are you really okay with this? Are you okay?

SPEAKER_2 (0:06)

Everything's gonna be okay.

Chris Hammer (0:09)

Are you okay?

SPEAKER_2 (0:10)

Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.

Chris Hammer (0:13)

I'm pretty far from okay.

SPEAKER_2 (0:16)

Are you okay with this? On The Hammer and Nigel Show.

Yeah, Hammer, we're still keeping an eye on the FAA issuing a nationwide ground stop, citing communication issues affecting multiple air traffic control facilities, all planes on the ground, thousands of thousands of planes on the ground. FAA reporting communication problems affecting multiple air traffic control centers. Last time this happened was January 23, after a failure of a pilot communication system. Before that, 9-11. So this is a rare thing. We don't know exactly what happened yet. We know it's a communication issue.

And everybody, as far as we know, right now is safe.

Chris Hammer (1:04)

Right.

SPEAKER_2 (1:05)

But all the planes are in the ground in this country.

Chris Hammer (1:07)

Except for the ones that are in the air, which there were some that are in the air. And those are being directed by air traffic control on the ground in a different like way that they normally do. So again, there's a lot of stuff going on here. The DHS secretary says they don't believe anything was nefarious here, but they're not ruling it out.

SPEAKER_2 (1:31)

A Minnesota yarn shop is apologizing Hammer for selling Harry Potter kits, and they've donated proceeds to trans care groups. You remember Harry Potter author JK. Rowling has faced a little bit of criticism in recent years over her opposition to policies allowing transgender women into the female-only spaces. She's been opposed to dudes playing in women's sports. And in an essay last month, she doubled down on her stance calling transgender activism elitist to its core. Now back to the yarn shop.

Could you imagine loving yarn to the point where you want to open a shop? The store announced that it removed the Harry Potter items from the shelves and donated all the proceeds to a activism group and organization providing support to transgender people. Are you OK with any of that?

Chris Hammer (2:39)

No, because one, I had no idea where this story was going to go. When you said that the yarn shop had to apologize for selling Harry Potter kits, I thought, what are they saying that it was satanic? Are they saying that it was this or that? No, it's because of JK. Rawlings, the writer saying that you shouldn't have your crank out in front of girls in a locker room. That's why the store had to apologize. Oh, yeah. And now they're making donations to the trans group.

But this is Minnesota, though. This is one of the most leftist states that we have. I don't want to hear any of this crap that Minnesota is a quirky state politically. They've elected Jesse Ventura.

Those days are done. Minnesota might as well be Portland, Oregon. It might as well be Seattle, Washington, the entire state. As good of a candidate as Michelle Tafoya was, that's not what they want. They want more people like Tim Well, old balls Tim Walls. They want more people like the Attorney General Keith Ellison, that woke is more important than anything else. So now this is a big nothing burger, not okay with this.

SPEAKER_2 (3:52)

Texas Attorney General, we know this guy, Ken Paxton.

Chris Hammer (3:56)

Just had his ass handed to him.

SPEAKER_2 (3:57)

Sure.

He was going through some crap during his campaign, by the way, there in Texas, he finalized his divorce from his wife of 38 years. Lawyers saying the terms are private. His wife is citing allegations of adultery. Ooh. And she's emphasizing that her decision was based on biblical grounds.

Chris Hammer (4:25)

Hmm.

SPEAKER_2 (4:26)

Are you okay with the biblical grounds excuse for divorce between Ken Paxton and his wife, Angela?

Chris Hammer (4:33)

Look, I don't know what's happening behind closed doors, but if she says things are getting biblical, hell, I kind of believe the woman here. And I keep in mind, I am not a believe all woman guy because a lot of chicks are skeezers and a lot of chicks make stuff up. Scissors totally make stuff up. But in this case, if oh, Ken Paxton was running around and getting some side strange and doing some nonsense, then, yeah, she's got every right to say that things are about to be biblical around here. And I hope she hit him in the face with the Bible.

By the way, that's something Chris Hammer did when he was a kid. I told you that story, right? He hit a kid in the face with the Bible on the playground at the church.
