Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Trump alone cannot lower all the prices. Every state has
its own legislature and their actions certainly affect prices in
the state. We've learned this the hard way in Colorado,
where you will be taxed on overtime, tips and social
security at the state level, but not at the federal level.
And we've also seen them ruin the state, which has

(00:20):
caused prices to soar for everything from housing to groceries
to services.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
And don't forget the fees, fees, fees, fees everywhere.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Rag and I have a couple of questions and we
want to go through a few text messages. Goober number
sixty five four to nine. Michael, do you replacing on
the air?

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Question Mark?

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Wait? What read that again?

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Do you replacing on the air?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Did you have a stroke? Read it correctly? The world?

Speaker 5 (00:55):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (00:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
That makes you say, Okay, we have no clue what
you mean. We don't know what you're asking.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Best guess are you asking about ninety five? Oh? Sorry,
make them explain, Okay, make them explain. You got some
splaining to do.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Uh six five four nine, Michael, How do you feel
about the petty plaques that Trump wrote and had placed
under certain president's pictures or a picture of an auto pin. Well,
regardless of how I feel about it, you know how
you feel about it, irregardless, did I say regardless?

Speaker 2 (01:30):
You did?

Speaker 3 (01:32):
I'm so sorry. Ear regardless. I hope Tamm's not listening.
I'll give you the text message again about you, dummy.
You can't say, irregardless.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
That was pretty good. Yeah, that was pretty good. That
was very good.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
I I think it's stupid. I think it's unbecoming of
the White House. If you've ever walked, which most of you,
unfortunately have never had the opportunity, like I have to
walk along along the colonnade between the East Wing and
the Oval Office, that's a gorgeous place. It's really really nice.

(02:12):
The the photos of the past presidents. I don't have
a problem with, but putting the auto pin up. And
then if you read some of the plaques, it's like, come.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
On, it's don't don't get it's wrong. It's funny. It's
something that you or I would do, but.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
We're not president. We're not president, and we don't live
in the White House.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
It's true.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah, and I think it's highly, highly inappropriate. And then
our friend, the retired LEO Steve Michael American Media ever
call out Islam. Oh steeve these these the Steve I
also liked that.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
The sixty five forty nine texted back and said that
was auto correct. Well, what do you mean, what are
you trying to say? You said that you made a mistake.
What do you what are you trying to say?

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yes? Okay, so now we know it was autocorrect.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Now type again, don't let it autocorrect and tell us
what you were asking because it.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Wasn't the form of a question.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
So ear regardless, I even hate joking about that because
that word is such an irritant to me.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Ear regardless.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
This morning, in a news conference, Bobby Kennedy Junior, the
Secretary of Healthing Human Services.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Wait wait, wait, wait wait so live text message reading here? Yes,
from that same goober that sent that in. Do you
replacing on the air? Then text messages back as we
just stated that was autocorrect, then gave us another text message.
Now get try to get this out of Do you
replacing on the air? This is what he responded next

(04:06):
or she Michael, you know what that trump was was? Nope,
can't read that? Go ahead?

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Oh did I have to go? Look? Vote bone.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
All right, well he probably could. Oh yeah, yeah, you
can do that. You know that Trump has hoard up
the White House to reflect his gaudy lack of taste.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
You get that from do you replacing on the air? Yeah,
that's auto corrected.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
That's yeah, right, If somebody wanted some attention back to
Bobby Kennedy Jr. He signed a declaration that proposes removing
medical providers from Medicare and Medicaid entirely if they offer
gender transition interventions to minors, not just for those services,

(05:02):
but for all services.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Now this matters.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Because Medicare and Medicaid are the largest healthcare providers or
payers in the entire country. Hospitals, clinics, physicians, physician groups.
They simply cannot survive without federal reimbursement. That alone is
a topic I could go off on for three hours
right here. It should not be that way, but Leave

(05:26):
allowed it to become that way. But in terms of
this specific declaration, if forced to choose between providing pediatric
gender transition care or staying solvent, I think this is
a brilliant move. Now, you know, I don't care whether

(05:49):
you're trans or not. I don't care whether you're a
trans mail or a trans female. As long as you're
over the age of eighteen, you've reached the age of majority,
and you've say that you're going to do that, then fine.
And I also believe that this is something that parents
should not be allowed to do to minor children any

(06:09):
more than you can abuse a minor child. I don't
think that you should be able to physically molest a
minor child by cutting off their penis or cutting off
their boobs or whatever. Because little Johnny thinks he's little Julie. No,
if you want, if you want to get psychiatric help.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Fine with that.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
But all this other stuff where we are mutilating children
is completely out of control. I think it's beginning to
die off. I think it's I think it's jumped the shark,
and I think this may be of a paverbial.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Nail in the coffin.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
This is not a ban in name, but it is
a band in practice, and I think it's very cleverly done.
You see what's happening right now. It's not just a
cultural fight, it's not just a symbolic gesture.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
This is a financial choke.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Point, and if it gets finalized, it could effectively dismantle
pediatric pediatric gender transition medicine in this country without ever
passing a band.

Speaker 7 (07:17):
Hey, Michael, I heard you say there are people out
there that disagree that someone can have a penis and
also claim to be a lesbian. I have a penis,
and I felt for years that I was a lesbian
trapped in a man's body, and I think there are
billions with a bee of us out there.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Well, you sound like you're over the age of majority.
So if you are over the age of majority and
you really believe that, then go do that. Go do
the changes. You're on your own. You're an adult. I

(08:00):
don't care whether you do it or not. As long
as you are an adult. That's what makes the difference
for me.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Real Quickly, we did get one more text message from
sixty five to forty nine, and we're not reading.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
It because I think somebody was just trying to get
us to read certain things.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Let me go back to where I was earlier.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
So anyway, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Bobby Kennedy,
has decided that, yeah, we're not going to fund these things,
and I think that's actually the way they're doing it
is pretty smart because they decided that we're just going

(08:55):
to cut off the the funding for it, for medicaid
and Medicare. I think that's actually probably the right way
to do it, because that means that unless you want
to give up all of the funding, there's no way
that you're going to get that money, and so people

(09:17):
are going to back off and no longer perform those services.
That's the smart way to do it. And congratulations for
Bobby Kennedy for having the no pun intended the kahones
to do. So it's it's about time. It's about time

(09:41):
they do it. In other news, the Putin is now
threatening territorial expansion in Ukraine because apparently the peace dogs
are stalling. He warned that Russia will seek to expand
its territorial gains in Ukraine if Kiev and our allies

(10:03):
reject what Moscow sees as so called reasonable terms in
peace negotiations. So I think they're going to continue the fight.
He was speaking at an annual meeting with senior military officials.
He said that Russia favors diplomacy bullcrap, but will not
hesitate to continue the war if the talks fail. Quote,
if the opposing side and its form patrons refuse to

(10:27):
engage in substantive dialogue, Russia will achieve the liberation of
its historic lands by military means. He also claimed that
Russian forces currently hold the strategic initiative along the front line,
and boasted about ongoing modernization, including the deployment of new
capable ballistic missiles. I don't know that this is ever

(10:50):
going to get resolved. It will, It will one way
or the other. Don't get me wrong. There will be
a winner and a loser at some point. But until
the Europeans agreed to that up and actually do something,
I don't think it's going to change. And I don't
think that the Europeans have the wherewithal to make those
changes and to provide the security guarantees.

Speaker 5 (11:13):
I know you'll never believe this, but I have been
inside the Oval office.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
They don't bring like prisoners or anything to the Oval office,
do they. Well, Oh, he could have been pardoned for
something at some point. That's probably what it was.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Or uh, he could have broken in and they were
escorting him and he didn't actually go in the Oval office.
They just walked him past the you know, the doors
could be that, or maybe maybe I'm not gonna go
down that route. I was gonna go down a route
with Montica Lewinsky, but I won't do that.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Took to Kennedy Secret tunnels. Yeah, yeah, the secret tunnels.
That's it.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
I don't know if you have you ever been in
the Capitol of Rotunda. So the Black Lives Matter riots,
at least for now, are kind of behind us, right.
But the statues, the statues that they kept tearing down
that preserve our culture, they're still coming down. You just

(12:22):
don't hear much about it.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Robert E.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Lee, the leader of the Confederacy, was truly a titan
of American history. Now, did he, you know, leave the battles, yes,
did he strategize and do everything to kill Union soldiers, yes,

(12:48):
But nonetheless, in terms of American history, he's a titan
of history. And being a Virginian, he ends up getting
caught on the losing fight in the Civil War. Does
that mean he has to be erased? Apparently so, and
he's going to be replaced by relative non entities that

(13:10):
are being chosen to be put in the Capitol to
recast American history in accordance with leftist ideology. Have you
ever heard of Barbara Rose Johns, Barbara Rose Johns. Let's
go to the NBC affiliate in Washington, NBC four Well.

Speaker 8 (13:34):
History made today inside the US Capital as Virginia unveiled
a new statue of civil rights leader Barbara Rose John's.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
You know she was on the bus. Oh, No, that
was Rose to somebody. Oh he gave the I have
a drink. No, that that was Martin Luther King. Barbara
Rose Jones is so impressive.

Speaker 9 (13:56):
Johns replaces Confederate General Robert E. Lee in a powerful,
full moment of the Commonwealth, elevating the story of a
black teenager who stood up to racial segregation in schools.
Our Northern Virginia Bureau reporter Drew Wilder takes us inside
the ceremony.

Speaker 5 (14:15):
Her new statue of the United States Capital will loudly
share a new piece of Virginia's story with the world Today.
The House of Representatives unveiled the statue of civil rights
leader Barbara Rose Johns. Her daughter addressed House leadership and
state leaders at the ceremony.

Speaker 6 (14:30):
You're truly grateful that this magnificent monument to her story,
the sacrifices that her family and her community made may
continue to inspire and teach others. Then, no matter what,
you too can reach for the moves.

Speaker 5 (14:45):
Each state has two statues in the Capitol. Barbara Johns
joins George Washington as Virginia's representatives as she replaces Confederate
General Robert E. Lee, who was removed by Virginia State
legislature in twenty twenty. Barbara Rose Johns is now the
young his person depicted in the Capitol showing her at
age sixteen, and.

Speaker 10 (15:04):
Barbara a farmer's daughter from humble means we see an
ordinary citizen who challenged the injustices of her day, whose
actions bring this nation a little closer to our founding ideals.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
Before Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, before Rosa Parks took
her seat on a bus in Montgomery, sixteen year old
Barbara john stood up to racial inequality, protesting conditions of
the all black school in Farmville, Virginia compared to the
all white school. Barbara John's fight became one of the
cases the US Supreme Court considered in the Brown Versus
Board of Education decision that overturned racial segregation in schools.

(15:40):
Governor Glenn Youngkin was in attendance along with Governor elect
Abigail Spanberger, who sat down with News for ahead of
the unveiling, and I.

Speaker 8 (15:47):
Hope that when generations of kids walk through and they
see a statue as a teenager, that it reminds them that,
in fact, you know, people can make change in their community.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
People can stand up against.

Speaker 8 (15:59):
The things they think are unacceptable. That's what she did,
That's the example, she said. And so it's exciting to
be here.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
The statue of Robert E.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
Lee has since been moved to a museum in Richmond
in an exhibit entitled The Lost Cost Myths, Monuments and Murals.

Speaker 8 (16:13):
And to recognize that, you know, history evolve.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
And the type of person history evolves, History's history.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
Shrine in bronze and proudly display in our country's most
distinguished spaces reflects the type of character we value most
reporting in the United States Capitol, So what what?

Speaker 4 (16:35):
What?

Speaker 3 (16:36):
What's really going on here? She ended up, She grew up,
She worked as a librarian. The Johns piece is part
of the National Statuary Hall collection that the Capitol in which,
as they point out, each state can contribute to statues.

(16:56):
So they've got George Washington, the Virginian Mount Vernon, and
now they've got ms Johns, Barbara Rose Johns, James Madison
was the primary architect of the US Constitution, Thomas Jefferson
was the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. James

(17:18):
Monroe helped expand America's size and.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Our influence all Virginians.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
But those Virginians pale apparently in historical significance compared to
Barbara Rose Johns. Now, despite the dei basis for her selection,
you would never know she was black if you look
at the statute at Statue. Sorry, we were able to

(17:45):
heal from the Civil War to the extent that we
did because the victors the Union in the Civil War
offered grace, and that grace is given way to the
ruthless and tall rents of the dummy, the Martinettes, who
call themselves liberals, as the warld's Southern History demonstrates, if

(18:08):
the Progressives prevail, slave owning white guy George Washington's is
soon going to follow Robert E. Lee into oblivion. Also, Lincoln,
Abraham Lincoln, in a broad policy of magnanimous surrender turns
and Grant's parole of Lee's army at Appomattics created a

(18:32):
political and moral environment in which federal authorities chose reconciliation
over treason trials for Robert E. Lee and his top
Confederate generals. That same reconcilientist mindset is what underwrote Virginia's
decision to originally honor Robert E. Lee with a statue

(18:53):
in the US Capitol because he was a symbol of
sectional reunion. I think the removal of that statue reflects
a sharp turn away from that narrative toward an emphasis
that now focuses on slavery, white supremacy, and the harms
of the so called loss cause mythology. Remember, Lee was

(19:16):
paroles at Appomatics under Grant's generous surrender terms, which allowed
all the Confederate officers and the men to go home
rather than having them imprisoned or immediately prosecuted. And when
a federal grand jury in Virginia actually indicted Lee for
treason in June of eighteen sixty five, the Johnson administration
quietly just let the case die, in large part because

(19:39):
General Grant insisted that trying Lee would violate the spirit
of his parole, and Grant even threatened to resign if
those terms were undermined. Now that approach fits Lincoln's repeatedly
stated desire and quite frankly Grant's execution of that desire
to to bind up the nation's wounds by bringing former

(20:04):
Confederates back into the Union with as little vindictive punishment
as possible, even for men who had clearly levied war
against the United States. So why they put Lee in
the capital to begin with? Under the National Statuary Hall program,
every state is allowed to donate two statues to be

(20:26):
displayed in the Capitol, and between nineteen oh three and
nineteen oh nine, Virginia chose George Washington and Robert E. Lee,
installing Lee's statue in nineteen oh nine, forty more than
forty years after the war. The Virginia legislature and many
national elites at the time famed Robert E.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
Lee.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
General Lee as the model reconciled confederate honorable in defeat,
loyal in accepting the war's outcome, and supposedly generally embodied
martial virtue rather than rebellion. So they decided that honoring
him and the Capitol was a gesture of sectional healing

(21:13):
rather than any sort of celebration of succession. That decision
did come over the objections of some Union veterans and
at least one US Senator who argued as early as
nineteen ten that memorializing a Confederate general in the Capitol
contradicted the very principles of the republic they had fought against.
But instead, I take the perspective that it was actually

(21:36):
a symbol of the reconciliation. Lee himself accepted the terms
of that reconciliation. Now, by the early twentieth century, the
reconcilientist narrative had suddenly or not suddenly, but over time
started to merge with the so called Lost Cause ideology,

(21:58):
which did romanticide Lee in the Confederacy, and it downplayed
or sanitized slavery in the war's radical states the racial stakes.
Lee himself had opposed Confederate monuments in the immediate post
war years. Lee himself warned that they would keep open
the sores of the war, but later generations in both

(22:20):
the North and the South increasingly embrace those monuments as
tools tools to normalize reunion on terms that largely protected
everybody's power everybody's rights. In the South, so the least

(22:41):
statue in the Capitol functioned not as or not just
as a tribute to Lincoln style magnanimity, but as a
national endorsement of a story in which a formal former
rebel general could stand literally in the heart of the
Union government as an emblem of national unity. But then

(23:07):
you fast forward to the twenty first century and black
lives Matter and George Floyd and everything else, and especially
after Charlottesville, and you know, and the lie about you know,
very fine people, and you get all the twenty twenty
racial justice protests that older reconciliiness framing came under sustained attack.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
Because they saw it that least black lives matter people
did as.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
A morally evasive way of ignoring slavery, ignoring Jim Crow,
and ignoring, you know, claims of ongoing racial inequality. So
in twenty twenty of Virginia, commission created by the General
Assembly House of Delegates back by oh former blackface governor
Ralph Northam concluded that a Confederate general general who fought

(23:55):
to preserve slavery was no longer an appropriate representative.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
Of the state in the capitol.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
So the statue was removed in December of twenty twenty. So,
now five years later, is to be replaced by civil
rights figure Barbara Johns. Leaders like Ralph Northam, blackface Ralph
Northam and drunk speaker Nancy Pelosi explicitly rejected the earlier

(24:20):
graciousness to lead narrative because they wanted to argue that
there should be no room for celebrating the bigotry of
the Confederacy in the nation seat of government, which of
course is the direct inversion of the reconciliation lodging that
Abraham Lincoln wanted to use. That made Lee's presence in
the rotunda politically appropriate. But we can't do that anymore.

(24:46):
We simply can't allow that anymore because today we've got
to focus on white supremacy. Very fine people, George Floyd,
they can't let it go. In other words, the bottom
line I think to this story is Virginia doesn't want

(25:07):
to reconcile. Virginia wants to keep racism alive. Virginia is
part of this racial industry, of the industry of racism,
institutionalizing it. I have nothing against this girl, nothing whatsoever.

(25:28):
Does she stand up? Yes, good for her, But standing
up is quite different from being the commander of those
that rebelled against the Union and then later reconcile and
did so humbly and honorably. But political correctness still alive

(25:54):
and well, and Virginia's going to continue to push the
political correctness. Students are learning not math, they're not learning reading,
they're not learning science because there's only so much time
in a school day, and of course public schools have
other priorities. Via Just the News, San Diego Unified School

(26:16):
District teaches young children about dozens of novel sexual orientations
and gender identities, justifying the lessons as age appropriate because
kids quote as early as kindergarten, first and second grades
are name calling and using anti gay, anti translurs. According
to a parental rights group defending education Now, I normally

(26:39):
I don't think kindergartens would have any idea what it
means to call someone gay, other than maybe they've learned
from their parents or somebody else the hold that must
be bad. Well, I think teachers are probably seen to
that with help from child focused LGBT activists again Just
the News. At a very young age, children have already
been introduced to information is LGBTQIA plus people, which is

(27:03):
often based on misinformation and negative stereotypes, says the FAQ
Guide for Educators and families from the district's Equity and
Belonging website, which uses LGBTQ activist materials, and of course
the materials include slides defining nine different genders and twenty
eight sexual orientations. Now, I don't think you can expect

(27:25):
little kids to fit all that in their heads and
still have room for a louto. No multiplication tables. Meanwhile,
as reported last bay by the Manhattan Institute, for over
fifty years, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the nation's
report card, has measured student achievement in reading and math
across the United States. The recently released twenty twenty four

(27:48):
results confirm a long term crisis in education, with student
performance stagnating or declining despite decades of parenthetically app landish
federal spending and education reform initiatives. You see, the standard
Democrat solution throwing other people's money at the problem really

(28:09):
isn't helping. The study continues, even as national per pupils
per pupil spending has exceeded seventeen thousand dollars on average
per student, reading proficiency has remained unchanged and math scores
at the lowest in two decades. Student proficiency proficiency levels
have stagnated or declined since the early nineteen nineties, with

(28:32):
fourth and eighth grade reading proficiency and an average of
thirty to thirty one percent not even a full third.
Math proficiency for both grades peaked and peaked in twenty
thirteen forty two percent for fourth graders and thirty five
percent for eighth graders, but has declined to thirty nine
percent for fourth graders and twenty eight percent for eighth graders.

(28:56):
Social engineers striving to create a generation of depraved left
wing idiots so they'll be sarting to vote for Democrats.
This will counsel the future, unless, of course, control of
education could be rested away from the federal government and
turned back to the states and turned back to local
school districts where we can find it out here, which
is where it should be fought out. Speaking of crime, mom,

(29:20):
Donnie has decided that he's figured out what's causing the
crime on mass transit in.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
New York unbelievable.

Speaker 11 (29:29):
We made five bus routes free in New York City.
When we made those bus routes free, after a year,
assaults on bus drivers dropped by thirty eight point nine percent.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
You make the buses free so you don't have altercations
when you refuse to pay the fare well.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
I'm not kidding.

Speaker 11 (29:50):
We made five bus routes free in New York City.
When we made those bus routes free, after a year,
assaults on bus drivers dropped by thirty eight point nine percent.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
Call the bus driver.

Speaker 11 (30:00):
Bus drivers because unlike the train, the active fare collection
on the bus happens on the bus, and bus drivers
and unions have shared anecdotally that about fifty percent of
assaults happen around the farebox. So when you eliminate the farebox,

(30:20):
you make for a safer experience for the bus driver
for everyone on the bus.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
So, rather than punish the criminals because they enter into
altercations with the bus drivers, just make the buses free.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
Just here, step aboard, have a seat. Can I get
you some coffee?

Speaker 3 (30:41):
Just don't hit me, because we made it free for
you at the expense of everybody else.
