Speaker 1 (00:00):
Just text him with Jenny during the break, I was like, earlier,
she said, I'm making Italian meat loaf for dinner, which
is basically like, you know, an enormously huge meatball because
it's got the marinara and.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
You've actually been described that same way.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yeah, big meatball. Anyway, she was saying that she's going
to do for dinner, and so I was taking, I go, hey,
did you it's been I can't really get into it,
but man, it was nuts where she's working today. Oh
my god. I'll tell you off air, but it was crazy.
I said, I'm glad to hear you made it through
the day. You sure have you made it yet? And
(00:41):
she said no. I said, I just want to make
it easy on you, you know, or whatever, and so
she said she has not. So I turned my phone
over face down because I don't want all that popping
up while we're on the air with Congressman Jim Jordan,
who's joining us now. Yeah, I didn't want to deal
with any of that is because I'm sure I don't
know how this is going to go. Congressman. I don't
know if you've ever had that. That converse, I believe
(01:03):
is Polly your wife I believe is Yeah, so I don't.
I'm sure you guys over the years have and it's
just like, you know, I just want to give her
an out because it's been kind of a crazy day
for her, which you know, it's I'm trying to not
that I'm trying to score points, but let's face it.
We've been together twenty five years, married twenty and dated
for five and I just I was like, honey, if
it's easier, I can, you know, do whatever I can grab. Yeah, yeah,
(01:26):
I know.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
So yeah, smart guy, smart guy.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
It's just one of those things. But the Dallian meat
loaf does rock. I will say that.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I mean, it sounds good, it sounds good. I love
me love. We had some of that over the weekend. Good.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah. I like it where she cooks the heck out
of it, and I like it, you know where it
gets kind of almost like a crispy outside. I don't
I don't know. Some people are like, oh no, that's gross,
but I I like it myself that way. I like
the end pieces. I like when it's crunchy almost like
on the outside. Clearly not all the way through, but well, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I definitely like that when it's like a hamloff. You
definitely want to crunch in that thick glaze on the
other I'm the same way with a hamlo of meat loaf,
not quite as much, but yeah, I like that too.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Right right, And yeah, so that Chuck was just saying
before we were going on, was kind of telling him,
and then he goes, it's one of the few times
I can get meat and get behind meat and ketchup,
you know together, which is typically the recipe.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Right, You have a little ketchup there on top is
a decoration if nothing else.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, yeah, you don't put but once it's cooking, you
don't put any more ketchup on. That's like, I can't
do that. Well, only if it's like really bad, I
guess right.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
And pass me the hinds.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
To eat. And the food just ain't no good. You
can tell because Jim Jordan's putting ketchup on it.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Like a good steak, a good steak. You'd never put
a one thoughts on good steak. You never need that.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That's hilarious. That's hilarious that you bring that up, because
last week we had the A one conversation on the air. Yeah,
there was a there was a There was some sort
of an article about A one and yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
And Jim's olden have to remember this because you and
I you weren't quite old enough. But A one used
to tell people take your own bottle to the restaurant,
and they're doing that again as a promotion.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, and that's what. Yeah, I brought that up because
they're saying, take a picture next to the steak and
what you get registered for, and then you have to
I don't know, I think you post it with a hashtag.
You know, they make you jump through hoops and all this.
But they're like, we will reimburse you one hundred dollars
towards the dinner that you said, dinner that you capture
on and then send back to them. But I told Chuck,
(03:38):
I was like, how are they gonna know if you're
not evenna You could just be at home and said
that you know, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, I still know this. A good steak doesn't need
a one.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
That's what I said, not at all. Yeah, And then
Chuck was even saying something about ketchup and steak, and
I go, man, who does that? What are you five
or four years old?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Like?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Who does that? And Then on top of all of that,
I'm like, I'm just gonna say it, you're a terrorist
if you eat steak with ketchup. I'm saying, I'm sorry,
you just are Yeah, I just you're right.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I'm like, and I'm not against ketchup, but it's a
good French fries. If they're really good fries, I don't
think you need catchup for those either. I just I'd
like the good fries at good steak, no ketchup, no
A one, yep, yep, that's a that's who knows. Yeah,
maybe I'm the exception. But we had one thing. I know,
and on this show you can talk about anything for sure,
you'll talk about anything.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
So yeah, so some more like some stuff, I guess
with a little more substance. Then since we have Congressman
Jim Jordan with us, there was part of, you know,
getting ready for the show today, was should funding be
withheld from states cities that oppose and I love they
use the word oppose oppose Trump's deportation plan, And the
first thought in my head was absolutely, if they are
(04:50):
not cooperating, then I feel like that's how you kind
of get in line, or you can kind of crack
the whip or what have you. And they go on
to say, do you think federal funding should be withheld
from states and cities that don't cooperate? And what I
don't understand why that is some sort of a debate.
I mean, since when is that? It's not a suggestion, right,
(05:13):
I mean, if they're saying you have to cooperate, you
have something illegal going on. We are trying to make
it not illegal, get these people out of here, and
we got cities and states are going Nope, we're not
gonna We're not cooperating.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Well, yeah, because not cooperating is a fancy way of
saying you're not following the law. I mean, that's the
bottom line. So of course, of course, if you're not
following the law, not assisting with the repatriation of people
who are here illegally. And remember where President Trump wants
to start. He wants to start with people who are
here illegally and have done another crime or and or
(05:47):
those who have already been through the adjudication process one
point three million of them to be exact, who've already
been through the process, and a judge the court has
said you do not qualify for asylum. Therefore you have
to be repatriated back to your native country. So that
is and you're not going to help us with that.
That's not cooperating, that's that's not adhering to the rule
of law. So of course that should.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Happen, right And then I you know what also popped
into my head, Congressman, I was like, well, didn't we
just have FEMA skipping over people's houses in the wake
of devastation from Hurricane and Leen because of their Trump support,
And you know, FEMA's trying to deny Well, we weren't.
That was not sanctioned by us. We had some rogue
agent or whatever people doing that or what have you.
But I just I'm so tired of the one sidedness,
(06:30):
the hypocrisy we continue to see demonstrated. Is it January
twentieth yet.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Really, well, thirty some days and thirty some days and
it will be and President Trump will be you know,
torn is our next president that they can't get here
soon enough. But specifically with that FEMA, if you look
at the email or the text messages, excuse me, where
the supervisor was conveying to people out in the field
to skip over the Trump home. It was in a
list of I think eight different things, and it said
travel in pairs, make sure you're hydrated, drink coconut water,
(06:58):
to stay hid. It was like just sort of matter
of fact. And then for them to say, oh, no,
this is a one off, well, it sure didn't look
like a one off the way it was written. It
looked like it was just sort of matter of fact,
daily kind of typical activity. So yeah, they were doing
that thing. It's the Trump Holmes just bypassed those and
go help other people. Again, just undermining the people's trust
(07:20):
in these institutions that are supposed to be serving us.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Hey, Congresson, let me ask you about the cabinet appointments,
because you know, Elon is the obvious target. He's the
easy one to get to. Holman, I think scares the
crap out everybody, so they leave him alone for the
most part. But this past week I think something wonderful
happened with Hegseth. As you know, they tried to report
he was never going to West Point and that didn't
(07:43):
apply to and then West Point had to back down
and say we made a mistake, which was not a mistake.
As far as I'm concerned, that door seems to be
wider open now for him, with him having an easier path,
do you think that clears the way for the rest
of the appointees.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I think they're all looking good. And again I think
they represent this attitude that the American people voted for
on November fifth, where they said we want people coming
in who are going to shake up these agencies, who
are going to leave these agencies in a way that
is common sense, a way that respects the will the people,
respects we the people, and whether it's it's Pete Haiksith,
(08:21):
RFK Junior, or Cash Patel, think about this. Last week,
the Inspector General to Justice Department released two reports. One
of those reports that there were twenty six confidential human
sources there on January sixth, and seventeen of them went
in restricted areas and four of them actually went in
the Capitol and violated the law. None of them were
none of them were more prosecuted. So we get that news.
And then the other reports said when Chris Ray first
(08:42):
took the job, he was actually spying on people's staffers
on Capitol Hill, staffers to the to the Congress, and
one of those staffers, here's the great irony. One of
those staffers that they were spying on none other than
Cash Patel, the guy who's going to replace Christopher Steele.
So I think all of these people are their Their
nomination is looking stronger and stronger every single day, and
(09:03):
I think that's the kind of people that the American
people want in those key positions.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Hey, anything developed, Congressman on the drones, because now we
just had it in the news at the top of
the hour late Friday night near right pat here, you know,
in Ohio there were sightings. Something is incredibly wrong, something
is very very wrong with all of this, and we're
still getting the uh yeah, we don't. We don't really know,
(09:30):
you know. I mean, this is I just every day
right now. I'm just like, man, it seems like President
It's like, can President Trump just take over already, because
this is ridiculous what we're dealing with every day.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, yeah, no, kid and not. I mean, you got
this issue that we seem to nothing about it. They
can't tell us anything about you got this looks like
the Biden administration is trying to sell parts of the
wall for pennies on the dollar. I mean, none of it,
none of it makes sense. Of course I maintained this
this entire four years. It has been just nothing makes sense.
Everything has been done in a ridiculous fashion by the
(10:05):
Biden Heirs administration. So like like you said, I think
it's what thirty six days thirty seven days until President
Trump is is sworn in. And as you said, Mark,
we can't.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Get there quick enough any chance. It's not drones and
it's the aliens trying to take Nancy Pelosi back home.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Now she's all done.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But is it? Uh?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Who? And and Independence Day? What was the guy you
know I always I always call him cousin Eddie, the.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Guy who played uh oh, Jeff Daniels.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
No, we no, the other guy, you know, the guy
who was you know who's flying the plane at the
or flying the ship at the end. There the plane
at the end. Yeah, yeah, I'm bad, I'm back. Yeah,
it's been all kinds of those jokes. But uh no,
I don't know, we've not heard anything. Ran Yeah, Randy Quaid,
That's why I did his Quaid played Dub Dub. You know,
(10:53):
told me that there's other movies. But yeah, Randy Quaid, Hey,
uh was that movie?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Also? In closing here the fifteen million dollars settlement from
ABC News with George Stevanovolis, the defamation settlement, if you will.
I know I didn't have that on my Bengo card.
I don't know about you. But Chuck even says to me,
He's like, well, is this a sign of things to
come here? Because I think the dominoes are beginning to fall,
(11:19):
if you will. And I have not heard the He
has to issue some sort of statement, right, and I
haven't heard it yet, but I can't wait. And I'm
going to have that. I'm going to have that where
we can use it all the time.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
The settlement says he must publicly apologize.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
A yeah, well maybe this Sunday, Maybe this Sunday on ABC,
maybe maybe we'll see that. But yeah, I mean it's
it's it's amazing. Of course, the mainstream media, not really
the mainstreamings and left me. He's legacy media, whatever you
call him. It is probably be like a one day
story for them. Of course, whenever it's reversed something against
(11:54):
President Trump or something against conservative oh my goodness that
they run with that forever. But yeah, this will be
the quick story and they'll be moving on to whatever
else they can do to us to come after us.
But yeah, that was that was interesting to see.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Sure, I'm gonna be off for the next couple of Mondays,
but Congressman, I want to say Merry Christmas to you
and your and your family.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
So I heard you. Where are you traveling.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Uh, We're going to be all over the place, but nothing,
you know, it's going to be basically in in and
around the uh this you know, Tri state area, So
it's not going to be a big deal there.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, you go, well, have a merry Christmas all you guys,
and we'll we'll see you in the new year when
we're back on with you.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, very good, Thanks very much, appreciate you and uh
yeah we'll see you. Thank you.
