STEVE DEACE (HOST): A new Philadelphia tourism ad features drag queens reading to young kids outside of Independence Hall.
TODD ERZEN (CO-HOST): Yeah.
DEACE: Find every person who is attracted to come to Philadelphia for defiling children this way, and arrest every single one of those damn bastards immediately, in a nanosecond, once they arrive, without hesitation. Every last one of them. And while they await trial, throw them in a hole, and throw away the hole.
...
DEACE: We're sitting here having a conversation off the air with, arguably, the most influential Christian conservative leader in America – and if he's not in total, he, at the very least is for the next eight months, right?
ERZEN: Yes.
DEACE: We're sitting here having a conversation with, at least for the next eight months, the most influential Christian conservative leader in America about whether someone who is clinically insane has a role at all in our national defense. In the city of Philadelphia, where this country's independence was forged, is running ads for you to be a tourist – ask yourself, what kind of tourist would be attracted to come to your fair city there, Philadelphia, with this message? What kind of tourist gets attracted by a message like this? I doubt it's the homeschool family who was thinking of making a patriotic summer class trip. Who responds to this kind of messaging and says, yes, yes, Philadelphia - it looks like the place for me. And we're debating whether or not --
ERZEN: I know.
DEACE: There's a place for t------ madness in the military. And Philadelphia is saying, come here. Come here, groomer. Come here, perv, creeper, and have at our children. No, brother and sister. No. No. This is coming down to one thing and one thing only, conviction. Because we are not a nation of laws, and we never have been. We are a nation of political will or conviction, and we always will be.
