This week many states will begin to reopen but will remain cautious as other states continue lock down restrictions. Trump continues to be criticized for his coronavirus response but he is planning for the great American comeback. Meanwhile, China and the WHO are still on his radar and need to be held accountable for their mistakes. And we couldn't forget Cinco de Mayo on Taco Tuesday, regardless of quarantine!

Newton Group Transfer. They are here to help you if
you're stuck in a timeshare. These stories from people who
have these time shares and can't get out of them,
they're shocking. These time share companies, not all of them,
but so many. They get their hooks into you and
you can't give them up. You can't give them up
(00:20):
or they'll they'll do things like they charge you thousands
of dollars. One girl she got past her time share
when her mother passed away. She gets passed the timeshar,
doesn't want the time shar, doesn't use the time share.
They tell her she can get out of it for
four thousand dollars. She has to come up with a
four thousand dollars check. This is not right, it's unjust
(00:41):
in Newton Group Transfers is here to help you. If
you are in a timeshare and one out or knows
someone who is. Call eight eight eight eight four five
three seven seven three that's eight eight eight eight four
Jesse or go to timeshare Jesse dot com Newton Group Transfer.
They will help you out. Summer opening, summer spending. We're
(01:04):
gonna unpack all of that. The ad wars for twenty
twenty are really cranking up now, and Trump is on
a tirade about it, and finally Taco Tuesday at home.
We'll deal with all that right now, and I'm right,
(01:26):
we'll raise your hand. If you had Florida leading the
charge when it comes to the freedom movement here in
the United States of America. Now, normally we know what
we're getting in Florida. You're going to get pythons crawling
along the road. Somebody meted out in waffle house is
gonna hurt someone late at night. But you're also gonna
get beautiful beaches. It's gonna have beautiful women, You're gonna
(01:48):
have good tax laws. You're gonna have a bunch of
old people that moved there from New York. Florida gives
us lots of things. But if you had told me
two months ago that we would be banking on Florida
to lead the charge on reopening this station, I would
have told you you were absolutely nuts. However, it looks
like that's where we're at. I would have thought it
would have been my great state of Texas, a kind
(02:11):
of we've been Okay, Look here's what I don't like
it again. I like our government here in Texas for
the most part. I love the governor here in Texas.
Think he's done a fine job, Greg Abbott. But we
haven't been leading the charge for freedom. We've been doing
that thing that I hate. And you can say, ah, Jesse,
(02:32):
this always gets you into trouble, and yes, that's true.
But I believe in diving in. When you see something
to do, you dive in. I thought about running for
US Congress. I didn't test the waters. I just dove
in got slaughtered twice. Thought about going to work in DC.
I didn't feel things out. It just moved to DC
and it sucked. Sometimes things work out, sometimes things do not.
(02:54):
But I can't stand this feeling I get from so
many and lead leadership in the GOP. I'm not talking
about the leftists in the GOP who feel like we
can Okay. I mean, the economy is really bad. But
I'll tell you what we're gonna do. Guys, everybody ready,
We're gonna open like ten businesses today, just ten, and
(03:16):
then we'll hang out for a week. We'll see if
anyone gets sick. If anyone does, WHOA, We're gonna close
everything back up and head back home. Can't have anybody
getting sick out of here. But if nobody gets sick
during those during that week, then we'll open up eleven,
maybe even twelve. Because freedom. Baby, Wait what, that's not freedom,
(03:38):
that's just more of what you've been doing. That's more
of you deciding this person's essential and that person's not essential. One.
I think every job is essential. Two, this is America.
You don't get to decide as a politician, not a mayor,
(03:58):
not a governor, not a president, not a senator, not
a congressman, not a sheriff. You do not get to
decide here in the United States of America that you
are essential and you're not. You don't have the authority.
I do not acknowledge your authority to do that. And
the fact I've seen that take place all across this
nation has shocked me. Beyond the mind numbing debt that
(04:22):
we've had that we've added on. That is what has
shocked me the most. How accepting the American people have
been with politicians deciding who is and isn't allowed to
go to work. You're an American, you are not Chinese.
This is America. You're allowed to go to work. Governor
(04:43):
de Santis of Florida had this to say, well, I
think tomorrow is going to be a small step. I
think it's going to be a measured step. If I
think it's going to be an important step for people
of Florida to know that there is a light at
the end of the tunnel. We're going to follow a safe, smart,
step by step approach to Florida's recovery. We're gonna follow
data and facts, but we are intent on moving forward
(05:06):
to be able to get the society on its feet again.
You know what, the guy has been on point with
the messaging. He's been on point with the messaging because
he's been the only governor that I've seen nationwide. Maybe
that Christy Nome, that governor of Desantista, Florida, has been
on point nationwide and saying, hey, wait a minute, how
do we even know lockdown's work? Why are we locking everybody?
(05:29):
There are plenty of doctors and experts who say lockdowns
are the biggest mistake, and we're actually adding to the problem,
We're compounding the problem. So good for Florida, Good for
good for Christie Noome. South Dakota. Let us all move
forward here. I think it was South Dakota. I should
probably do research before the show starts. Pretty sure it's
South Dakota, Mitchell. Find out if it's South Dakota anyway,
(05:53):
then we have Well, I'd love to just put this
on Democrats. Now, this is this is this is going
to be a Democrat. This is Tim Ryan saying something
really really stupid. But let's be honest. This has been bipartisan.
But once we do start unraveling the stay at home orders,
(06:14):
we need to make sure everybody has met their economic
obligations up to this point and that they have some
money in their pocket so that we can actually have
people going out to get the economy up and running.
And people say, well, that's going to cost a lot
of money, and I say, you're absolutely right. A lot
(06:34):
of money to two thousand dollars monthly checks to Americans,
a lot of money, you understand. Just so we're clear
that we used to yell and scream. We used to
have tea parties. If you remember, right, I was there,
I was given speeches. We used to have tea parties
during Obama's presidency because he was running up one trillion
(06:56):
dollar deficits. Ours is going to be four this year,
not in the future. Not something bad happened four trillion dollars.
We have ground a twenty trillion dollar economy to a halt,
stopping the tax revenue going into the federal government. Not
(07:17):
stopping it, obviously, but severely slowing it down, while at
the same time spending like drunken sailors on shore leave.
That is how you collapse an entire nation, an entire nation.
I'm not talking about a little hardship here. I'm not
talking about, well, we got to make some cuts, a
little inflation, maybe a little deflation. I'm not talking about that.
(07:38):
I'm talking about ending the United States of America. That's
what that kind of debt can do. And we somehow
just think this can go on forever. At no point
in the history of the world has there been a
nation that can just print off currency unbacked, totally devalue it,
and just keep on turn it along. Oh this is
(07:59):
so fun, this is funzies. Well, somebody's sick, send out
another round of two thousand dollar checks. And again, let
me reinforce this point. I'm as partisan a hack as
there is. I'm not a journalist. I never claim to
be a journalist. In fact, that's maybe the worst thing
you could ever call me. I am a right wing
(08:19):
hack who attacks leftists for a living. That's what I do.
But this has been Republicans too, from the very very top.
This has been Republicans from the very top, from the
very beginning. Spend spend, spend, spend, spend baby, shut everything
down and spend away. You can't put this on democrats.
(08:39):
You can't, and I love putting it on democrats. Is
this who we all are? Now? Insane? Have we as
a nation come together and just decided screw it? Just
spend our way through it. We'll be fine. What. No,
we don't need small businesses. Amazon will run Everything's all
we need is Amazon and Google. Is that what we are?
(09:02):
I mean, if it's not, someone explained it to me.
Because what we are or not is what we're doing.
We are doing that right here in the United States
of America, speaking of what we are, speaking of who
we are? Do you know what freedom means? Hold up
before you answer, before you nod, you understand. I just
(09:25):
want to be clear. Freedom doesn't mean eating an extra
hot dog and some potato chips on July fourth, doesn't
mean baseball. Actually, it's a nice symbol and I love it,
but doesn't even mean the flag. Freedom in America means
freedom from government control. It means here's a list of
(09:48):
things the government is allowed to do, and they're not
allowed to do anything else, period. Freedom from government control.
And well, there's a video of a guy who tried
to open up his tattoo parlor. When you can put
a father of three in jail for opening his business
(10:11):
because nobody will give me alone and let alone help
me now my own bank. Nobody, nobody's helping us. Yeah,
they put him in handcuffs. We didn't show it to
you there. They put that guy in handcuffs on video
(10:33):
and hauled him out of his tattoo shop for opening
up his business in the United States of America. So again,
let me remind you freedom doesn't mean hot dogs and
apple pie. Freedom. If it makes the tyrants to your
left and right uncomfortable, then it's not freedom. And that's
(10:55):
really what we have. And that's the problem I see,
frankly again with people on the right. We try to
make liberty, conservatism, whatever you want to call it. We
try to make it palatable to the left. Why if
you're on the right, if you believe in liberty, if
you believe in freedom. The left is your enemy. You
(11:17):
don't have to treat create or treat each and every
individual as your enemy, but the left and what they want,
they're the enemy of everything you believe. Your job is
not to make your liberty really really nice sounding. So
they come along. Your job is to defeat them, and
we just lay down, man, we just lay down unacceptable.
(11:37):
And you know what, good for that guy? Good for
that guy? All Right, ads season is here, presidential ads season,
and people are upset. I am, well. We have an
(11:59):
election coming in November, maybe you've heard, and it is
fixing to be a crazy one. We have an insane
candidate who has completely lost his mind. On the Democrat side,
we have a Republican president trying to get reelected, and
he has some deeply unpopular policies right now with people
he needs with his base. Some of his policies with
(12:20):
them when it comes to these lockdowns, are popular. Some
are not. But here's something that is undeniably true. He did,
up until a couple of months ago, preside over one
of the jobs, one of the best jobs creating presidencies. Ever,
let's just be frank. You can hate the guy all
you want, the economic boom has been undeniable. And when
he takes back over, if he takes back over in November,
(12:43):
we need that again. Running on the Democrat ticket is
somebody whose brain is gone. Are we allowed to say
that his brain is not there anymore? Because it sure
seems like it's not there anymore. And Trump smartly, I
think his campaign team has always has been dynamite. They've
been dynamite. Trump is smartly saying, hey, do you want
(13:05):
America to come back? Who better than me? I'm Donald
Trump and I approved this message. My administration will take
all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat. Hehisterical, xenophobic,
giving Americans a false sets are accurate that if these
steps had not been put in place, it could have
been two million people dead here in the United States. Yes,
(13:27):
no matter how hard they try to stop, they can't.
You're built the greatest economy the world has ever seen.
And we're going to do it again together. We're meeting
back the invisible enemy. What the federal government did was
a phenomenal accomplishment. Through it all the world has witnessed
the unyielding result of our incredible American people promise made
(13:51):
promise kept and I'm fighting for you and I love
doing it with everything that I have. And you know that,
with the grace of God, we will win this war,
and we will win this war quickly, and we will
make America again good at We'll see you know my
(14:12):
disagreements with the president. The truth of the matter is this,
unless something significant changes, I am voting enthusiastically. That's a
difficult word sometimes, especially on Taco Tuesday. It was a
margarite to lunch. I'm kidding, but I'm gonna vote for
him enthusiastically in November. I'm gonna encourage my friends and
family to do the same because he did it once.
(14:35):
He did do it once. We need him to do
it again. We are hurting here and we can't have
Joe Biden. Now, before I play this at next AD,
I need to put a disclaimer up. You know, I'm
not big on disclaimers. Just say what you gotta say.
But I will say this. I'm okay with politicians past
and present talking about things like unity, but there's a
(14:56):
big butt to that. Unity has to actually meet in something.
What are you talking about. I hate when people say, wow,
we need to come together. What does that mean come
together on what we need to come together. Well, we
just need to look, we need to work together. That's
not a solution. Okay, that's that's a bumper sticker. Don't
(15:20):
talk to me in bumper stickers. And if you do,
talk to me in bumper stickers, and I ask you
for solutions, give me one. So when I saw former
President Bush say this, Okay, let us remember how small
our differences are in the face of this shared threat.
In the final analysis, we are not partisan combatants. We
(15:43):
are human beings, equally vulnerable and equally wonderful. In the
sight of God. We rise or fall together, and we
are determined to rise. That's fine. I like that equal
in the sight of God too. That's fine, that's wonderful.
(16:03):
What does that mean, with the exception of the equal
in the sight of God thing, What does any of
that mean? We're not partisan combatants. There aren't. There are
a lot of things that divide us. That's not true
at all. That's not true at all. Let's be frank
about what we're seeing right now. Yes, as you know,
(16:24):
I don't need to be labor the point today. Donald
Trump paid the road for these lockdowns. He did the
leftists have piled on this thing, and now they're they're
not letting go. You see all these Democrat governors keeping
their states in a vice grip on lockdown, purposely destroying
their own economy to get at the president. They're not
letting They're not letting this go. We're not coming together.
(16:48):
We're not uniting. What does that mean? Unite for? What?
What should we unite for? I want to know. Should
we unite for funding the Kennedy Center with a coronavirus
bailout package? Should we unite for congressional raises? I lookt
those are the Democrat proposals. Don't yell at me. What
(17:09):
should we unite for? Should we unite for federal dollars
to bail out the bankrupt state pension of Illinois because
they've been managing their finances poorly for years? I mean,
are we uniting there? Should we do that halfway? I
hate that. I get it to an ad. I get
that it feels good, it makes people feel good. I
get missed the over year, But what does it mean?
(17:31):
Tell me what that means? Trump responds, Pete hag seth Oh.
By the way, I appreciate the message from former President Bush.
But where was he during impeachment calling for putting partisanship aside?
Fox and Friends? He was nowhere to be found and
speaking up against the greatest hoax in American history. Sorry,
(17:52):
that first quote was apparently pete hegseeth, But I don't
do reading comprehension, so I didn't realize exactly what that
was thee. It was a response from the president. And
you can say that's a cheap shot during this time.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't kind of true. All right, Oh, well,
(18:13):
that's just come together. Oh what's that. Oh, we're doing
the most unjust impeachment in American history. It's fine, whatever,
I'm heading out to the ranch. Where were you when
times were tough? Man? I don't know. Well, there's something
out there called the Lincoln Project. I'm sorry, I'm gonna
(18:35):
try to say this with a straight face. And there's
something out there called the Lincoln Project. It's very serious.
And what it is is there's this gigantic group of losers.
They call themselves Never Trump, and they've decided long ago
that they weren't ever going to vote for Trump. And
we're Republicans and we're not voting for Trump. And since
Trump has actually been really great for a lot of
the conservative causes up until about two months ago, that
(18:58):
made them all look really dumb. They kept just opposing
things they had always claimed they stood for. And now
they started this group called the Lincoln Project. There they're
Republicans against Trump, and well, I mean, here's what it is.
There's mourning in America today. More than sixty thousand Americans
(19:19):
have died from a deadly virus. Donald Trump ignored. With
the economy in shambles, more than twenty six million Americans
are out of work, the worst economy in decades. Trump
bailed out Wall Street, but not Main Street. This afternoon,
millions of Americans will apply for unemployment, and with their
(19:40):
savings run out, many are giving up hope. Millions worry
that a loved one won't survive COVID nineteen. There's mourning
in America, and under the leadership of Donald Trump, our
country is weaker and sicker and poorer. And now Americans
are asked, if we have another four years like this,
(20:04):
will there even be an America? Paid for by the
Lincoln Project, which is responsible for the content of this advertisement,
not exactly exactly an uplifter Trump, as you can imagine,
did not take too kindly to these people. So bear
(20:24):
with me. Trump went off, and I'm gonna go ahead
and read all of it for you. Why well, because
I wants you to be informed. That's part of it.
And two, I like the sign of my own voice quote.
A group of Rhino Republicans who failed badly twelve years ago,
then again eight years ago, and then got badly beaten
by me a political first time or four years ago,
(20:46):
have copied no imagination the concept of an ad from
Ronald Reagan Morning in America doing everything possible to get
even for all their many failures. You see, these loser
types don't care about two hundred and fifty two new
federal judges, two great Supreme Court justices, are rebuilt military,
a protected Second Amendment, biggest ever, tax and regulation cuts
(21:07):
in much more. I didn't use any of them because
they don't know how to win, and they're so called
Lincoln project as a disgrace to honest abe. I don't
know what Kelly Ann did to her deranged loser of
a husband, Moonface, but it must have been really bad.
John Weaver lost big for Ka Sick to me, crazed
(21:28):
Rick Wilson loss for Evan McMuffin. McMullan to me, sorry,
Steve Schmidt, and Reid Galvin lost for John McCain, Romney's
campaign manager, question Mark. That's so random. The question mark
(21:49):
question Mark lost big to oh and Jennifer Warren got
thrown out of the New Hampshire Republican Party. They're all losers.
But Abe Lincoln Republican is all smiled. All right, all right,
(22:09):
it's serious. It's a serious news show, all right, Joe Biden,
He responded to the if it seems like a weird
transition to jump from everything I just did to Joe Biden,
that's because you need to understand something. A lot of
people consider themselves to be professionals. You know, they show
up at work and they have a certain standard, a
way they want to do things. I don't do any
(22:32):
of that. I have no standards whatsoever. I have no professionalism.
And I've been doing TV for about thirty seconds. I
know you're gonna say, Jesse, that's amazing, you're so good
at it. That's true, but Joe Biden has some nasty
accusations coming his way. I'm not going to transition to it.
I just could not end this segment without showing you
his response to it. Why limit this only to terror read?
(22:55):
Why not release any complaints that it may had been
made against you during your senate career. I'm prepared to
do that. The best of my knowledge. Has been no
complaints made up against me in terms of my senate
career and turns my office, and he's been run. Look,
it's us an open book. There's nothing for me to hide,
nothing at all. Approve a search of her name, yes,
(23:17):
and would the only thing that might be related to
Tara Read in the University of Delaware records. There is
nothing they wouldn't. They're not there, and if they, I
you know, I don't understand what you're the point you're
trying to make the point. I'm just talking about her name,
(23:37):
not anybody else in those records. A search for that, well,
that will all right. Coming up next. We have been
All County's Sheriff, Mark Wayham. Hang huh, We'll get to
(23:59):
that first. I know I know what you're going through
right now, and that is sleeplessness, because look, it's common,
and pull after pull after poll shows it's getting more
common as the pandemic grows as the economic disaster gets bad,
and so what do you do? You do that stupid
thing we've all done at one point in time. Either
you reach for a bottle of whiskey or you reach
(24:20):
for a bottle of hills. Real solutions, as fun as
they can be, sometimes they're not found in the bottom
of a whiskey bottle. Real solutions involved finding a way
to calm those thoughts. And you know where those thoughts
take place, right there in the forehead area. That's why
you need EBB Sleep. It is a wearable device that
(24:42):
provides precise, continuous cooling right to that area so your
thoughts will calm down. It puts you to sleep faster
and keeps you to sleep, keeps you asleep longer. Go
to tryeb dot com. That's try ebb dot com slash jesse.
Tryeb dot com slash jesse and used the code jesse.
(25:02):
You actually get twenty five bucks off. Stop those thoughts
racing through your mind, start relaxing with epsleep. Well, this
one I've been looking forward to all week long. This
is Sheriff Mark Lamb, Pinal County Sheriff out of Arizona,
my former home state. He's also a commentator on Live
(25:25):
PD Wanted and as Jail was featured on season five
of Sixty Days in both on A and E. Now, sheriff,
before we get going, explain to me really quickly. Is
it required in Arizona to win the cowboy hat? If
you're a sheriff, it's not required, but most of us do.
(25:47):
There's no shame in that. Look here in Texas they
do the exact same thing around here, and I love it.
If you see a sheriff with that one, you're automatically
suspected the guy. Now, I'll be trying to tell the
other sheriffs here at Arizona that don't wear them. Hey,
look a little suspect. You can't. They're making a huge mistake,
all right. I have been pretty vocal and that I
(26:11):
feel like sheriffs across the country should be more loudly
protesting against what I view are absurd unconstitutional orders. Now,
by the grace of God, some sheriffs have stood up,
but it has not been that many. And I'm happy
to be talking to one today. Why well, I'm glad
to be on here. I agree with you. I think
(26:32):
that we've gotten into some real murky waters in this country.
And I've there's a lot of people that have gotten
really comfortable with giving up constitutional rights during this time.
You know, Benjamin Franklin's quote of those who would give
up essential liberties for temporary safety deserved neither liberty nor
safety has never been more true right now than it
(26:54):
is right now. But I would love to see more sheriffs.
We truly are the guardians of the constitution, the people's rights,
and I think that more and more sheriffs are stepping out. Look,
we stood and we waited for My wife said it best.
She actually said this to me. She goes, Look, when
we went out and started this whole stay at home quarantine,
(27:15):
it was about not overrunning the hospitals and flattening the curve.
And here in Arizona, we haven't overrun the hospitals. As
a matter of fact, a lot of the hospitals are
furlowly nurses, and the curve has never really gone up.
It's been fairly flat. So at this point you can't
move the goalpost. We've got to get back to things.
The numbers don't support the continued reaction sheriff. I've seen
(27:39):
and I'm sure you've seen it to more videos than
I ever cared to about people getting arrested for paddle boarding.
They threw a pastor in jail in Florida. Today, there's
an absolutely awful video from West Odessa and Texas. Some
dude opened up his little dive bar and the stink
and swat team showed up with an m rap of
all things, put everybody in handcuffs. And my argument for
(28:03):
this is, as somebody who's always been so loudly pro
law enforcement, even if you think you're doing the right thing,
you're actually hurting the safety of law enforcement officers going forward.
These videos are hurting the public trust in law enforcement
and in the future it may not be quantifiable. You're
putting guys at risk. Yeah, And what I've said is,
(28:25):
why are we making criminals out of innocent people? People
who are just trying to support their families do what
they've been able to do for so long, and all
of a sudden, now that's become illegal to be able
to try to support your families. Now, I have said
that I would not cite or arrest or find anybody
that is against these orders or that is not following
these orders. But I will do my part and I
(28:47):
will respond I'll continue to educate people of what the
CDC guidelines are, and you know, you hope that people
will be responsible. Truly, that's what being an American is
is being personally responsible. Freedom comes responsibility. We need everybody
in America to be responsible, but we also don't want
to lose those freedoms in the process of going through this.
(29:09):
So I hate to see things and I don't armchaff quarterback.
I don't know all the details behind any of those instances,
but what I can say is that it is clear
that there's been some very concerning constitutional violations across this
country and we need to start reeling that back in.
What kind of pushback have you gotten? Not not from
(29:31):
people necessarily. I'm sure there's a million angry moms on
Facebook screaming at you. Have you gotten any political pushback
from governors, senators, congressman, state senators, anybody like that. I've
actually gotten the opposite. I've gotten the majority of the
calls I've gotten from even the legislators, from the congressman
here in Arizona, very supportive. They understand how important freedom
(29:54):
and the Constitution are and what the role the shriff plays.
There's legislators and this is what we're looking at, too,
is the legal recourses that we have to address a
bill that Now there's legislation that gives the governor the
authority here in Arizona, and this is not about our
current governor. This is about whatever governor is in the office.
There's legislation allows them to declare a state of emergency
(30:17):
and there's no time frame on that. You know, other
states have a timeframe maybe sixty days, thirty days, ninety days,
and then it would have to go in front of
the legislature for a vote to continue that and here
where you don't have that in Arizona, we think that's unconstitutional.
We're actually looking at our legal recourses to challenge that legislation.
It's too broad, too open, and we need to narrow
(30:40):
that down and keep it more constitutional. And so we
are looking at that. What's Live PD wanted for those
of us, for those people out there who aren't initiated,
like I am, Well, it's only like the greatest show
on TV. It is, it really is. It's addictive. Let
me tell you everybody before he answers it's addictive, are
going to be stuck go on? You know, Live PD
(31:03):
has been such a phenomenal show. They show it on
A and E. Live PD has been so pro law enforcement.
I think that we've seen a real shift in how
people view law enforcement to the better. People starting to
view what we go through on a daily basis, the
difficult situations we face. And I think Live PD can
take a lot of credit for changing the way Americans
(31:24):
are viewing that. They've done such a great job of
showing law enforcement in such a true but positive light.
And Live PD Wanted is another spinoff of that, where
we actually are going out and looking for fugitives people
who are either wanted for we're actually arresting people who
are wanted on active warrants, or we are highlighting cases
(31:45):
where there's law enforcement needs your help to find people
bring them to justice. And we also highlight missing person
cases as well. So it's an hour long show where
we do all three of those things and it gives
Americans a chance to get inside what it is to
be a fugitive hunter. Sheriff, hope you run for higher
(32:06):
office one day once you're done cleaning up and all
count I appreciate you, thank you, I appreciate you. It's
Taco Tuesday. Plus at Cinco de Mayo. We've got a
pickle on our hands, and I'm about to solve it
for you. Hang on joining me now bearing arms dot
(32:32):
COM's very own Cam Edwards. Cam, explain to me how
we got so mired in China before we get to
everything they've done. Now, Honestly, you are clearly a lot,
a lot older than I am. I don't understand how
we ended up stuck in China the way we are,
all right, Jesse, let me go way back here too,
(32:53):
when I was just nat high to a grasshopper. You know,
it's interesting we have gotten done with China because China
was cheap, right, and this was a way for us
to get cheap goods and services. And at the same
time we ended up exporting a lot of our jobs.
There was a fantastic book written a couple of years ago.
(33:14):
I think everybody in America should read. This is called
Factory Man. It's by a Virginia journalist named Beth Macy,
and she took a look at what China had actually
done to our furniture industry. There are, you know, company
towns in southwestern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina that were
known worldwide for the furniture that they created. And then
in the nineteen seventies and nineteen eighties, she started seeing
(33:35):
these cheap furniture knockoffs coming out of China, and the
US industry was a little concerned, but it was okay
because China couldn't make the really expensive stuff, they couldn't
make the high end products. And Beth Macy chronicles the
story of a guy named John Bassett. The Bassett Furniture
family was a huge family that was in the furniture industry.
(33:56):
John Bassett was sort of the black sheep of the family.
He had left the main business and started his own
furniture company, and he saw in a catalog a bedroom
set being made and sold from China that was cheaper
than what it costs for him to simply build it,
and so he tried to figure out what's going on here.
He sent his son over to China to investigate, and
he found a factory deep in the heart of China
(34:18):
where you had folks who are basically working slave labor
hours for slave labor wages, and the business itself was
subsidized by the Chinese government with the design of putting
American businesses out of business right, And China has done
this not just in the furniture industry, but they have
done this in so many industries, so many manufacturing industries
across the United States. And look, we love our chief goods, right,
(34:42):
we love to stroll into Walmart and get stuff for
pennies on the dollar, But we're now paying the price
for giving up not only our jobs, our industry, but
our independence and offshore in it to China. Cam. What
I don't understand the is what possible solution to this
(35:03):
can there be? We don't want American workers working for
slave labor. Well, everybody knows a business, whether it be
Chinese or American, has a profit loss and labor is
a big old black mark on it every single time.
So we don't want Americans working for those wages. At
the same time, we can't take away all the cheap goods.
You can't take away everything made in Walmart is poor.
People need Walmart to sustain them. So what's the solution
(35:25):
when you're that ingrained and you need something cheap. Well,
I think you've got a couple of things that you
can do. Hey, you can start working with allies as
opposed to enemies. Right, So there's a lot of talk about, well,
maybe we should moose of our manufacturing over to India.
They're at least a democracy, the world's largest democracy. They
are a free society as opposed to authoritarian state. So
(35:45):
we can find those places where again you can manufacture
things at less cost than what you can do here
in the United States, but you don't have to deal
with an authoritarian regime. But also going back to John Bassett,
what he did. He kept his jobs a United States,
and no, his furniture factories don't have as many employees
as a furniture factory would have thirty forty years ago.
(36:06):
He's invested a lot in high end equipment. Yes, there's
some automation that's taking place, but the jobs that are
still here are good jobs. They're well paying jobs, and
their jobs that are sort of insulated from these economic
shocks that we see because it's already you know, it's
built into his business plans. So I don't think there's
(36:27):
just one thing that we can do, but I think
that there are a variety of tools in our toolbox.
We need to start using them. But the version we
have to do is we simply have to understand that
China is not a reliable partner. China is not our friend.
They're not our ally and they don't have our best
interest at heart. Well, speaking of not our friend, we
(36:48):
have the president here talking about the World Health Organization
missing everything. Yeah, that's fine until you follow down that
rabbit hole and you find out that's China. I mean,
China is really pulling their strings. We know this virus
came from China. I can talk about our idiotic response
all day long, but the truth is coronavirus came from China,
(37:09):
intentionally or otherwise. I'm not saying it was intentional, but
it came from China. What's our solution do we get?
Do we get made whole by China by force or otherwise?
What do we do? You know? That is the million
dollar question I think, and I don't know what the
right answer is. I mean, I would love to see
China called onto the carpet, but it's not gonna It's
not gonna come just for the United States. You know,
(37:31):
China inflicted this misery on the world, and the response
really needs to come from the rest of the world.
So we do need to seek out our allies in
Europe and Asia and Africa, and we need to put
the screws to China. They're they're absolutely needs to be consequences.
But of course China, as you say, you know, they're they're,
they're they're feeling a little up against the wall right now.
(37:51):
Are they gonna lash out? We've had disputes with them
over the South China see other you know, geopolitical problems,
and those may be exacerbated in the short term if
we try to ensure that there are consequences for China's
cover up of the virus release. As you say, if
nothing else, we at least know that the Chinese regime
covered up their mistakes and made the coronavirus, you know,
(38:16):
a pandemic as opposed to a local problem there in
the Wuhan province. Well, I don't want to back in
a corner here, Cam, but going forward, I don't care
about what you've done in the past. Going forward. Are
you still going to eat Chinese food? Oh? I will
eat Chinese food, But I will tell you this. My
wife and I were asually looking for a new TV
(38:37):
this week, and we specifically started looking. We said we
don't want to buy when that was made in China.
We don't want to support that, so, you know, even
to my house. I mean, we're taking steps to do
what we can to wean ourselves off, and the chief
Chinese good. But look in the in the rural county
where I live, there is one Chinese restaurant. Its name
is called China, and I'm going to continue to support
(38:58):
that family. These are good folks. You know, their kid
goes to school with my kids. And I want to
do what I can to help up my neighbors. But
you know, the Communists, Am I going to do what
I can to help them at? Absolutely not? What about Hollywood?
I look beyond Hollywood, forget that Hollywood, the NBA CAM
it matters. It matters a lot to me. But I
(39:21):
don't know that there's a solution to that problem. Either.
We have this is not you know, tinfoil on your
head stuff. We have China forcing Hollywood to rewrite scripts,
redo scenes in order to make them more China friendly.
Right here in the United States of America. That's happening.
The days of Red Dawn, where we could show the
dirty Russians parachuting in to get us, those days are
(39:42):
long gone. How do we do anything about that? Or
do we you know, again, that's really difficult because under capitalism, right,
we believe in free markets, and China is a bigger
market than the United States is simply because of their population.
So what do we do, right, Do we start to say,
all right, well, we are capitalists, but we're also nationalists,
(40:05):
we are patriots, we put America first. Or do we again,
do we keep just chasing after that dollar, even if
it means that, you know, Hollywood is being funded, the
NBA's being funded in part by, you know, a communist
regime that will exert its power and influence. I think
these are really difficult choices for a lot of these
(40:25):
companies to make. I personally would love to see Hollywood
turn their back on China. I would love to see
the NBA say, yeah, you know what, we had our
little experiment here. We know that Lebron James loves the
you know, the Chinese government, but we're going to go
off in a different direction. I just don't know that
it's going to happen, Particularly given the economic problems that
the coronavirus is rought here in the United States, companies
(40:47):
are going to be looking to make their money anywhere
they can, and China I fear is going to continue
to be a pretty attractive offer for them. Heam Edwards
bearing Arms dot com. Thank you, my friend. I always
gonna talk with you, Jesse. Thanks. Sure. It's Taco Tuesday. Yeah,
(41:08):
hang on, well, allow me to drop some knowledge on you.
Today is Sinko to Mayo, and that actually stands for
May fifth. I bet you didn't know that it's an
important holiday in Mexico. I actually don't know if it's
an important holiday in Mexico. I just made that up
(41:30):
because I'm an American. I make up other traditions for
people all the time. But it's also Taco Tuesday. So
here we are. We're facing Sinco to Mayo. We're facing
Taco Tuesday. And what are most of you facing. You're
facing closed restaurants. Man, you should be out eating enchiladas
having a margarite with the wife tonight, but you can't
do that. However, all hope is not lost. Allow Jesse
(41:54):
to drop something on you right now. One. I know
this is going to blow you away. One and to
the store. Get yourself a good a good Mexican beer
like Corona or something like that. Get yourself some limes,
go home, get it on ice. Now it's food time,
and I know what you're thinking, Jesse, Please guide me.
You don't have to stress out about your local Mexican joint.
(42:16):
We have a place here in Texas, and from what
I understand, they're expanding everywhere. It's practically the only Mexican
place I eat at. You want to see what it
is here? It is. That's right, Taco Bell. If you
have one in your area, and that's a big if.
Here's what you order at Taco Bell. You get a
cheesy gordita crunch, maybe too, depending on how hungry you are.
(42:39):
Make sure you say no lettuce, because it's a freaking taco,
not a salad. Get some extra spicy ranch on there.
Get their diablo sauce, get a couple of orders and nachos.
They also have those little cinnabon cinnabon balls or bites.
I don't know what they call them, but they're these
delicious little cinnamon donut things and they're stuffed full of
cream and it's the best thing you've ever had in
your entire life. Enjoy your corona, Enjoy your Taco Bell.
(43:02):
If you're lucky enough to have one in your state,
I'll see them all. Your holster is way more important
than you think it is. It's just way more important
than you think it is. What look, and I get
that the holsters not the sexy part of carrying firearms.
(43:25):
All right, you want to talk about your weapon and
your ammunition. You want to talk about your safety training.
I want to talk about how you did it at
the range. I'll look at my groups. I was doing
these failure drills today and all that stuff is really important.
I mean, really really important. I'm not discounting that, but
I've known so many people who do all those things.
They take all the necessary steps, and then they carry
(43:46):
with a holster they bought from a big box hunting
store that was made a thousand at a time. Please
don't put your life in one of those holsters. You
need to trust Northwest Retention Systems because it's all custom
made gear. It's the only thing I carry around NW
retention dot Com. That's NW Retention dot Com. Use the

promo co Jesse gets you ten percent off
Newton Group Transfer. They are here to help you if
you're stuck in a timeshare. These stories from people who
have these time shares and can't get out of them,
they're shocking. These time share companies, not all of them,
but so many. They get their hooks into you and
you can't give them up. You can't give them up
(00:20):
or they'll they'll do things like they charge you thousands
of dollars. One girl she got past her time share
when her mother passed away. She gets passed the timeshar,
doesn't want the time shar, doesn't use the time share.
They tell her she can get out of it for
four thousand dollars. She has to come up with a
four thousand dollars check. This is not right, it's unjust

Jesse or go to timeshare Jesse dot com Newton Group Transfer.
They will help you out. Summer opening, summer spending. We're
(01:04):
gonna unpack all of that. The ad wars for twenty
twenty are really cranking up now, and Trump is on
a tirade about it, and finally Taco Tuesday at home.
We'll deal with all that right now, and I'm right,
(01:26):
we'll raise your hand. If you had Florida leading the
charge when it comes to the freedom movement here in
the United States of America. Now, normally we know what
we're getting in Florida. You're going to get pythons crawling
along the road. Somebody meted out in waffle house is
gonna hurt someone late at night. But you're also gonna
get beautiful beaches. It's gonna have beautiful women, You're gonna
(01:48):
have good tax laws. You're gonna have a bunch of
old people that moved there from New York. Florida gives
us lots of things. But if you had told me
two months ago that we would be banking on Florida
to lead the charge on reopening this station, I would
have told you you were absolutely nuts. However, it looks
like that's where we're at. I would have thought it
would have been my great state of Texas, a kind
(02:11):
of we've been Okay, Look here's what I don't like
it again. I like our government here in Texas for
the most part. I love the governor here in Texas.
Think he's done a fine job, Greg Abbott. But we
haven't been leading the charge for freedom. We've been doing
that thing that I hate. And you can say, ah, Jesse,
(02:32):
this always gets you into trouble, and yes, that's true.
But I believe in diving in. When you see something
to do, you dive in. I thought about running for
US Congress. I didn't test the waters. I just dove
in got slaughtered twice. Thought about going to work in DC.
I didn't feel things out. It just moved to DC
and it sucked. Sometimes things work out, sometimes things do not.
(02:54):
But I can't stand this feeling I get from so
many and lead leadership in the GOP. I'm not talking
about the leftists in the GOP who feel like we
can Okay. I mean, the economy is really bad. But
I'll tell you what we're gonna do. Guys, everybody ready,
We're gonna open like ten businesses today, just ten, and
(03:16):
then we'll hang out for a week. We'll see if
anyone gets sick. If anyone does, WHOA, We're gonna close
everything back up and head back home. Can't have anybody
getting sick out of here. But if nobody gets sick
during those during that week, then we'll open up eleven,
maybe even twelve. Because freedom. Baby, Wait what, that's not freedom,
(03:38):
that's just more of what you've been doing. That's more
of you deciding this person's essential and that person's not essential. One.
I think every job is essential. Two, this is America.
You don't get to decide as a politician, not a mayor,
(03:58):
not a governor, not a president, not a senator, not
a congressman, not a sheriff. You do not get to
decide here in the United States of America that you
are essential and you're not. You don't have the authority.
I do not acknowledge your authority to do that. And
the fact I've seen that take place all across this
nation has shocked me. Beyond the mind numbing debt that
(04:22):
we've had that we've added on. That is what has
shocked me the most. How accepting the American people have
been with politicians deciding who is and isn't allowed to
go to work. You're an American, you are not Chinese.
This is America. You're allowed to go to work. Governor
(04:43):
de Santis of Florida had this to say, well, I
think tomorrow is going to be a small step. I
think it's going to be a measured step. If I
think it's going to be an important step for people
of Florida to know that there is a light at
the end of the tunnel. We're going to follow a safe, smart,
step by step approach to Florida's recovery. We're gonna follow
data and facts, but we are intent on moving forward
(05:06):
to be able to get the society on its feet again.
You know what, the guy has been on point with
the messaging. He's been on point with the messaging because
he's been the only governor that I've seen nationwide. Maybe
that Christy Nome, that governor of Desantista, Florida, has been
on point nationwide and saying, hey, wait a minute, how
do we even know lockdown's work? Why are we locking everybody?
(05:29):
There are plenty of doctors and experts who say lockdowns
are the biggest mistake, and we're actually adding to the problem,
We're compounding the problem. So good for Florida, Good for
good for Christie Noome. South Dakota. Let us all move
forward here. I think it was South Dakota. I should
probably do research before the show starts. Pretty sure it's
South Dakota, Mitchell. Find out if it's South Dakota anyway,
(05:53):
then we have Well, I'd love to just put this
on Democrats. Now, this is this is this is going
to be a Democrat. This is Tim Ryan saying something
really really stupid. But let's be honest. This has been bipartisan.
But once we do start unraveling the stay at home orders,
(06:14):
we need to make sure everybody has met their economic
obligations up to this point and that they have some
money in their pocket so that we can actually have
people going out to get the economy up and running.
And people say, well, that's going to cost a lot
of money, and I say, you're absolutely right. A lot
(06:34):
of money to two thousand dollars monthly checks to Americans,
a lot of money, you understand. Just so we're clear
that we used to yell and scream. We used to
have tea parties. If you remember, right, I was there,
I was given speeches. We used to have tea parties
during Obama's presidency because he was running up one trillion
(06:56):
dollar deficits. Ours is going to be four this year,
not in the future. Not something bad happened four trillion dollars.
We have ground a twenty trillion dollar economy to a halt,
stopping the tax revenue going into the federal government. Not
(07:17):
stopping it, obviously, but severely slowing it down, while at
the same time spending like drunken sailors on shore leave.
That is how you collapse an entire nation, an entire nation.
I'm not talking about a little hardship here. I'm not
talking about, well, we got to make some cuts, a
little inflation, maybe a little deflation. I'm not talking about that.
(07:38):
I'm talking about ending the United States of America. That's
what that kind of debt can do. And we somehow
just think this can go on forever. At no point
in the history of the world has there been a
nation that can just print off currency unbacked, totally devalue it,
and just keep on turn it along. Oh this is
(07:59):
so fun, this is funzies. Well, somebody's sick, send out
another round of two thousand dollar checks. And again, let
me reinforce this point. I'm as partisan a hack as
there is. I'm not a journalist. I never claim to
be a journalist. In fact, that's maybe the worst thing
you could ever call me. I am a right wing
(08:19):
hack who attacks leftists for a living. That's what I do.
But this has been Republicans too, from the very very top.
This has been Republicans from the very top, from the
very beginning. Spend spend, spend, spend, spend baby, shut everything
down and spend away. You can't put this on democrats.
(08:39):
You can't, and I love putting it on democrats. Is
this who we all are? Now? Insane? Have we as
a nation come together and just decided screw it? Just
spend our way through it. We'll be fine. What. No,
we don't need small businesses. Amazon will run Everything's all
we need is Amazon and Google. Is that what we are?
(09:02):
I mean, if it's not, someone explained it to me.
Because what we are or not is what we're doing.
We are doing that right here in the United States
of America, speaking of what we are, speaking of who
we are? Do you know what freedom means? Hold up
before you answer, before you nod, you understand. I just
(09:25):
want to be clear. Freedom doesn't mean eating an extra
hot dog and some potato chips on July fourth, doesn't
mean baseball. Actually, it's a nice symbol and I love it,
but doesn't even mean the flag. Freedom in America means
freedom from government control. It means here's a list of
(09:48):
things the government is allowed to do, and they're not
allowed to do anything else, period. Freedom from government control.
And well, there's a video of a guy who tried
to open up his tattoo parlor. When you can put
a father of three in jail for opening his business
(10:11):
because nobody will give me alone and let alone help
me now my own bank. Nobody, nobody's helping us. Yeah,
they put him in handcuffs. We didn't show it to
you there. They put that guy in handcuffs on video
(10:33):
and hauled him out of his tattoo shop for opening
up his business in the United States of America. So again,
let me remind you freedom doesn't mean hot dogs and
apple pie. Freedom. If it makes the tyrants to your
left and right uncomfortable, then it's not freedom. And that's
(10:55):
really what we have. And that's the problem I see,
frankly again with people on the right. We try to
make liberty, conservatism, whatever you want to call it. We
try to make it palatable to the left. Why if
you're on the right, if you believe in liberty, if
you believe in freedom. The left is your enemy. You
(11:17):
don't have to treat create or treat each and every
individual as your enemy, but the left and what they want,
they're the enemy of everything you believe. Your job is
not to make your liberty really really nice sounding. So
they come along. Your job is to defeat them, and
we just lay down, man, we just lay down unacceptable.
(11:37):
And you know what, good for that guy? Good for
that guy? All Right, ads season is here, presidential ads season,
and people are upset. I am, well. We have an
(11:59):
election coming in November, maybe you've heard, and it is
fixing to be a crazy one. We have an insane
candidate who has completely lost his mind. On the Democrat side,
we have a Republican president trying to get reelected, and
he has some deeply unpopular policies right now with people
he needs with his base. Some of his policies with
(12:20):
them when it comes to these lockdowns, are popular. Some
are not. But here's something that is undeniably true. He did,
up until a couple of months ago, preside over one
of the jobs, one of the best jobs creating presidencies. Ever,
let's just be frank. You can hate the guy all
you want, the economic boom has been undeniable. And when
he takes back over, if he takes back over in November,
(12:43):
we need that again. Running on the Democrat ticket is
somebody whose brain is gone. Are we allowed to say
that his brain is not there anymore? Because it sure
seems like it's not there anymore. And Trump smartly, I
think his campaign team has always has been dynamite. They've
been dynamite. Trump is smartly saying, hey, do you want
(13:05):
America to come back? Who better than me? I'm Donald
Trump and I approved this message. My administration will take
all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat. Hehisterical, xenophobic,
giving Americans a false sets are accurate that if these
steps had not been put in place, it could have
been two million people dead here in the United States. Yes,
(13:27):
no matter how hard they try to stop, they can't.
You're built the greatest economy the world has ever seen.
And we're going to do it again together. We're meeting
back the invisible enemy. What the federal government did was
a phenomenal accomplishment. Through it all the world has witnessed
the unyielding result of our incredible American people promise made
(13:51):
promise kept and I'm fighting for you and I love
doing it with everything that I have. And you know that,
with the grace of God, we will win this war,
and we will win this war quickly, and we will
make America again good at We'll see you know my
(14:12):
disagreements with the president. The truth of the matter is this,
unless something significant changes, I am voting enthusiastically. That's a
difficult word sometimes, especially on Taco Tuesday. It was a
margarite to lunch. I'm kidding, but I'm gonna vote for
him enthusiastically in November. I'm gonna encourage my friends and
family to do the same because he did it once.
(14:35):
He did do it once. We need him to do
it again. We are hurting here and we can't have
Joe Biden. Now, before I play this at next AD,
I need to put a disclaimer up. You know, I'm
not big on disclaimers. Just say what you gotta say.
But I will say this. I'm okay with politicians past
and present talking about things like unity, but there's a
(14:56):
big butt to that. Unity has to actually meet in something.
What are you talking about. I hate when people say, wow,
we need to come together. What does that mean come
together on what we need to come together. Well, we
just need to look, we need to work together. That's
not a solution. Okay, that's that's a bumper sticker. Don't
(15:20):
talk to me in bumper stickers. And if you do,
talk to me in bumper stickers, and I ask you
for solutions, give me one. So when I saw former
President Bush say this, Okay, let us remember how small
our differences are in the face of this shared threat.
In the final analysis, we are not partisan combatants. We
(15:43):
are human beings, equally vulnerable and equally wonderful. In the
sight of God. We rise or fall together, and we
are determined to rise. That's fine. I like that equal
in the sight of God too. That's fine, that's wonderful.
(16:03):
What does that mean, with the exception of the equal
in the sight of God thing, What does any of
that mean? We're not partisan combatants. There aren't. There are
a lot of things that divide us. That's not true
at all. That's not true at all. Let's be frank
about what we're seeing right now. Yes, as you know,
(16:24):
I don't need to be labor the point today. Donald
Trump paid the road for these lockdowns. He did the
leftists have piled on this thing, and now they're they're
not letting go. You see all these Democrat governors keeping
their states in a vice grip on lockdown, purposely destroying
their own economy to get at the president. They're not
letting They're not letting this go. We're not coming together.
(16:48):
We're not uniting. What does that mean? Unite for? What?
What should we unite for? I want to know. Should
we unite for funding the Kennedy Center with a coronavirus
bailout package? Should we unite for congressional raises? I lookt
those are the Democrat proposals. Don't yell at me. What
(17:09):
should we unite for? Should we unite for federal dollars
to bail out the bankrupt state pension of Illinois because
they've been managing their finances poorly for years? I mean,
are we uniting there? Should we do that halfway? I
hate that. I get it to an ad. I get
that it feels good, it makes people feel good. I
get missed the over year, But what does it mean?
(17:31):
Tell me what that means? Trump responds, Pete hag seth Oh.
By the way, I appreciate the message from former President Bush.
But where was he during impeachment calling for putting partisanship aside?
Fox and Friends? He was nowhere to be found and
speaking up against the greatest hoax in American history. Sorry,
(17:52):
that first quote was apparently pete hegseeth, But I don't
do reading comprehension, so I didn't realize exactly what that
was thee. It was a response from the president. And
you can say that's a cheap shot during this time.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't kind of true. All right, Oh, well,
(18:13):
that's just come together. Oh what's that. Oh, we're doing
the most unjust impeachment in American history. It's fine, whatever,
I'm heading out to the ranch. Where were you when
times were tough? Man? I don't know. Well, there's something
out there called the Lincoln Project. I'm sorry, I'm gonna
(18:35):
try to say this with a straight face. And there's
something out there called the Lincoln Project. It's very serious.
And what it is is there's this gigantic group of losers.
They call themselves Never Trump, and they've decided long ago
that they weren't ever going to vote for Trump. And
we're Republicans and we're not voting for Trump. And since
Trump has actually been really great for a lot of
the conservative causes up until about two months ago, that
(18:58):
made them all look really dumb. They kept just opposing
things they had always claimed they stood for. And now
they started this group called the Lincoln Project. There they're
Republicans against Trump, and well, I mean, here's what it is.
There's mourning in America today. More than sixty thousand Americans
(19:19):
have died from a deadly virus. Donald Trump ignored. With
the economy in shambles, more than twenty six million Americans
are out of work, the worst economy in decades. Trump
bailed out Wall Street, but not Main Street. This afternoon,
millions of Americans will apply for unemployment, and with their
(19:40):
savings run out, many are giving up hope. Millions worry
that a loved one won't survive COVID nineteen. There's mourning
in America, and under the leadership of Donald Trump, our
country is weaker and sicker and poorer. And now Americans
are asked, if we have another four years like this,
(20:04):
will there even be an America? Paid for by the
Lincoln Project, which is responsible for the content of this advertisement,
not exactly exactly an uplifter Trump, as you can imagine,
did not take too kindly to these people. So bear
(20:24):
with me. Trump went off, and I'm gonna go ahead
and read all of it for you. Why well, because
I wants you to be informed. That's part of it.
And two, I like the sign of my own voice quote.
A group of Rhino Republicans who failed badly twelve years ago,
then again eight years ago, and then got badly beaten
by me a political first time or four years ago,
(20:46):
have copied no imagination the concept of an ad from
Ronald Reagan Morning in America doing everything possible to get
even for all their many failures. You see, these loser
types don't care about two hundred and fifty two new
federal judges, two great Supreme Court justices, are rebuilt military,
a protected Second Amendment, biggest ever, tax and regulation cuts
(21:07):
in much more. I didn't use any of them because
they don't know how to win, and they're so called
Lincoln project as a disgrace to honest abe. I don't
know what Kelly Ann did to her deranged loser of
a husband, Moonface, but it must have been really bad.
John Weaver lost big for Ka Sick to me, crazed
(21:28):
Rick Wilson loss for Evan McMuffin. McMullan to me, sorry,
Steve Schmidt, and Reid Galvin lost for John McCain, Romney's
campaign manager, question Mark. That's so random. The question mark
(21:49):
question Mark lost big to oh and Jennifer Warren got
thrown out of the New Hampshire Republican Party. They're all losers.
But Abe Lincoln Republican is all smiled. All right, all right,
(22:09):
it's serious. It's a serious news show, all right, Joe Biden,
He responded to the if it seems like a weird
transition to jump from everything I just did to Joe Biden,
that's because you need to understand something. A lot of
people consider themselves to be professionals. You know, they show
up at work and they have a certain standard, a
way they want to do things. I don't do any
(22:32):
of that. I have no standards whatsoever. I have no professionalism.
And I've been doing TV for about thirty seconds. I
know you're gonna say, Jesse, that's amazing, you're so good
at it. That's true, but Joe Biden has some nasty
accusations coming his way. I'm not going to transition to it.
I just could not end this segment without showing you
his response to it. Why limit this only to terror read?
(22:55):
Why not release any complaints that it may had been
made against you during your senate career. I'm prepared to
do that. The best of my knowledge. Has been no
complaints made up against me in terms of my senate
career and turns my office, and he's been run. Look,
it's us an open book. There's nothing for me to hide,
nothing at all. Approve a search of her name, yes,
(23:17):
and would the only thing that might be related to
Tara Read in the University of Delaware records. There is
nothing they wouldn't. They're not there, and if they, I
you know, I don't understand what you're the point you're
trying to make the point. I'm just talking about her name,
(23:37):
not anybody else in those records. A search for that, well,
that will all right. Coming up next. We have been
All County's Sheriff, Mark Wayham. Hang huh, We'll get to
(23:59):
that first. I know I know what you're going through
right now, and that is sleeplessness, because look, it's common,
and pull after pull after poll shows it's getting more
common as the pandemic grows as the economic disaster gets bad,
and so what do you do? You do that stupid
thing we've all done at one point in time. Either
you reach for a bottle of whiskey or you reach
(24:20):
for a bottle of hills. Real solutions, as fun as
they can be, sometimes they're not found in the bottom
of a whiskey bottle. Real solutions involved finding a way
to calm those thoughts. And you know where those thoughts
take place, right there in the forehead area. That's why
you need EBB Sleep. It is a wearable device that
(24:42):
provides precise, continuous cooling right to that area so your
thoughts will calm down. It puts you to sleep faster
and keeps you to sleep, keeps you asleep longer. Go
to tryeb dot com. That's try ebb dot com slash jesse.
Tryeb dot com slash jesse and used the code jesse.
(25:02):
You actually get twenty five bucks off. Stop those thoughts
racing through your mind, start relaxing with epsleep. Well, this
one I've been looking forward to all week long. This
is Sheriff Mark Lamb, Pinal County Sheriff out of Arizona,
my former home state. He's also a commentator on Live
(25:25):
PD Wanted and as Jail was featured on season five
of Sixty Days in both on A and E. Now, sheriff,
before we get going, explain to me really quickly. Is
it required in Arizona to win the cowboy hat? If
you're a sheriff, it's not required, but most of us do.
(25:47):
There's no shame in that. Look here in Texas they
do the exact same thing around here, and I love it.
If you see a sheriff with that one, you're automatically
suspected the guy. Now, I'll be trying to tell the
other sheriffs here at Arizona that don't wear them. Hey,
look a little suspect. You can't. They're making a huge mistake,
all right. I have been pretty vocal and that I
(26:11):
feel like sheriffs across the country should be more loudly
protesting against what I view are absurd unconstitutional orders. Now,
by the grace of God, some sheriffs have stood up,
but it has not been that many. And I'm happy
to be talking to one today. Why well, I'm glad
to be on here. I agree with you. I think
(26:32):
that we've gotten into some real murky waters in this country.
And I've there's a lot of people that have gotten
really comfortable with giving up constitutional rights during this time.
You know, Benjamin Franklin's quote of those who would give
up essential liberties for temporary safety deserved neither liberty nor
safety has never been more true right now than it
(26:54):
is right now. But I would love to see more sheriffs.
We truly are the guardians of the constitution, the people's rights,
and I think that more and more sheriffs are stepping out. Look,
we stood and we waited for My wife said it best.
She actually said this to me. She goes, Look, when
we went out and started this whole stay at home quarantine,
(27:15):
it was about not overrunning the hospitals and flattening the curve.
And here in Arizona, we haven't overrun the hospitals. As
a matter of fact, a lot of the hospitals are
furlowly nurses, and the curve has never really gone up.
It's been fairly flat. So at this point you can't
move the goalpost. We've got to get back to things.
The numbers don't support the continued reaction sheriff. I've seen
(27:39):
and I'm sure you've seen it to more videos than
I ever cared to about people getting arrested for paddle boarding.
They threw a pastor in jail in Florida. Today, there's
an absolutely awful video from West Odessa and Texas. Some
dude opened up his little dive bar and the stink
and swat team showed up with an m rap of
all things, put everybody in handcuffs. And my argument for
(28:03):
this is, as somebody who's always been so loudly pro
law enforcement, even if you think you're doing the right thing,
you're actually hurting the safety of law enforcement officers going forward.
These videos are hurting the public trust in law enforcement
and in the future it may not be quantifiable. You're
putting guys at risk. Yeah, And what I've said is,
(28:25):
why are we making criminals out of innocent people? People
who are just trying to support their families do what
they've been able to do for so long, and all
of a sudden, now that's become illegal to be able
to try to support your families. Now, I have said
that I would not cite or arrest or find anybody
that is against these orders or that is not following
these orders. But I will do my part and I
(28:47):
will respond I'll continue to educate people of what the
CDC guidelines are, and you know, you hope that people
will be responsible. Truly, that's what being an American is
is being personally responsible. Freedom comes responsibility. We need everybody
in America to be responsible, but we also don't want
to lose those freedoms in the process of going through this.
(29:09):
So I hate to see things and I don't armchaff quarterback.
I don't know all the details behind any of those instances,
but what I can say is that it is clear
that there's been some very concerning constitutional violations across this
country and we need to start reeling that back in.
What kind of pushback have you gotten? Not not from
(29:31):
people necessarily. I'm sure there's a million angry moms on
Facebook screaming at you. Have you gotten any political pushback
from governors, senators, congressman, state senators, anybody like that. I've
actually gotten the opposite. I've gotten the majority of the
calls I've gotten from even the legislators, from the congressman
here in Arizona, very supportive. They understand how important freedom
(29:54):
and the Constitution are and what the role the shriff plays.
There's legislators and this is what we're looking at, too,
is the legal recourses that we have to address a
bill that Now there's legislation that gives the governor the
authority here in Arizona, and this is not about our
current governor. This is about whatever governor is in the office.
There's legislation allows them to declare a state of emergency
(30:17):
and there's no time frame on that. You know, other
states have a timeframe maybe sixty days, thirty days, ninety days,
and then it would have to go in front of
the legislature for a vote to continue that and here
where you don't have that in Arizona, we think that's unconstitutional.
We're actually looking at our legal recourses to challenge that legislation.
It's too broad, too open, and we need to narrow
(30:40):
that down and keep it more constitutional. And so we
are looking at that. What's Live PD wanted for those
of us, for those people out there who aren't initiated,
like I am, Well, it's only like the greatest show
on TV. It is, it really is. It's addictive. Let
me tell you everybody before he answers it's addictive, are
going to be stuck go on? You know, Live PD
(31:03):
has been such a phenomenal show. They show it on
A and E. Live PD has been so pro law enforcement.
I think that we've seen a real shift in how
people view law enforcement to the better. People starting to
view what we go through on a daily basis, the
difficult situations we face. And I think Live PD can
take a lot of credit for changing the way Americans
(31:24):
are viewing that. They've done such a great job of
showing law enforcement in such a true but positive light.
And Live PD Wanted is another spinoff of that, where
we actually are going out and looking for fugitives people
who are either wanted for we're actually arresting people who
are wanted on active warrants, or we are highlighting cases
(31:45):
where there's law enforcement needs your help to find people
bring them to justice. And we also highlight missing person
cases as well. So it's an hour long show where
we do all three of those things and it gives
Americans a chance to get inside what it is to
be a fugitive hunter. Sheriff, hope you run for higher
(32:06):
office one day once you're done cleaning up and all
count I appreciate you, thank you, I appreciate you. It's
Taco Tuesday. Plus at Cinco de Mayo. We've got a
pickle on our hands, and I'm about to solve it
for you. Hang on joining me now bearing arms dot
(32:32):
COM's very own Cam Edwards. Cam, explain to me how
we got so mired in China before we get to
everything they've done. Now, Honestly, you are clearly a lot,
a lot older than I am. I don't understand how
we ended up stuck in China the way we are,
all right, Jesse, let me go way back here too,
(32:53):
when I was just nat high to a grasshopper. You know,
it's interesting we have gotten done with China because China
was cheap, right, and this was a way for us
to get cheap goods and services. And at the same
time we ended up exporting a lot of our jobs.
There was a fantastic book written a couple of years ago.
(33:14):
I think everybody in America should read. This is called
Factory Man. It's by a Virginia journalist named Beth Macy,
and she took a look at what China had actually
done to our furniture industry. There are, you know, company
towns in southwestern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina that were
known worldwide for the furniture that they created. And then
in the nineteen seventies and nineteen eighties, she started seeing
(33:35):
these cheap furniture knockoffs coming out of China, and the
US industry was a little concerned, but it was okay
because China couldn't make the really expensive stuff, they couldn't
make the high end products. And Beth Macy chronicles the
story of a guy named John Bassett. The Bassett Furniture
family was a huge family that was in the furniture industry.
(33:56):
John Bassett was sort of the black sheep of the family.
He had left the main business and started his own
furniture company, and he saw in a catalog a bedroom
set being made and sold from China that was cheaper
than what it costs for him to simply build it,
and so he tried to figure out what's going on here.
He sent his son over to China to investigate, and
he found a factory deep in the heart of China
(34:18):
where you had folks who are basically working slave labor
hours for slave labor wages, and the business itself was
subsidized by the Chinese government with the design of putting
American businesses out of business right, And China has done
this not just in the furniture industry, but they have
done this in so many industries, so many manufacturing industries
across the United States. And look, we love our chief goods, right,
(34:42):
we love to stroll into Walmart and get stuff for
pennies on the dollar, But we're now paying the price
for giving up not only our jobs, our industry, but
our independence and offshore in it to China. Cam. What
I don't understand the is what possible solution to this
(35:03):
can there be? We don't want American workers working for
slave labor. Well, everybody knows a business, whether it be
Chinese or American, has a profit loss and labor is
a big old black mark on it every single time.
So we don't want Americans working for those wages. At
the same time, we can't take away all the cheap goods.
You can't take away everything made in Walmart is poor.
People need Walmart to sustain them. So what's the solution
(35:25):
when you're that ingrained and you need something cheap. Well,
I think you've got a couple of things that you
can do. Hey, you can start working with allies as
opposed to enemies. Right, So there's a lot of talk about, well,
maybe we should moose of our manufacturing over to India.
They're at least a democracy, the world's largest democracy. They
are a free society as opposed to authoritarian state. So
(35:45):
we can find those places where again you can manufacture
things at less cost than what you can do here
in the United States, but you don't have to deal
with an authoritarian regime. But also going back to John Bassett,
what he did. He kept his jobs a United States,
and no, his furniture factories don't have as many employees
as a furniture factory would have thirty forty years ago.
(36:06):
He's invested a lot in high end equipment. Yes, there's
some automation that's taking place, but the jobs that are
still here are good jobs. They're well paying jobs, and
their jobs that are sort of insulated from these economic
shocks that we see because it's already you know, it's
built into his business plans. So I don't think there's
(36:27):
just one thing that we can do, but I think
that there are a variety of tools in our toolbox.
We need to start using them. But the version we
have to do is we simply have to understand that
China is not a reliable partner. China is not our friend.
They're not our ally and they don't have our best
interest at heart. Well, speaking of not our friend, we
(36:48):
have the president here talking about the World Health Organization
missing everything. Yeah, that's fine until you follow down that
rabbit hole and you find out that's China. I mean,
China is really pulling their strings. We know this virus
came from China. I can talk about our idiotic response
all day long, but the truth is coronavirus came from China,
(37:09):
intentionally or otherwise. I'm not saying it was intentional, but
it came from China. What's our solution do we get?
Do we get made whole by China by force or otherwise?
What do we do? You know? That is the million
dollar question I think, and I don't know what the
right answer is. I mean, I would love to see
China called onto the carpet, but it's not gonna It's
not gonna come just for the United States. You know,
(37:31):
China inflicted this misery on the world, and the response
really needs to come from the rest of the world.
So we do need to seek out our allies in
Europe and Asia and Africa, and we need to put
the screws to China. They're they're absolutely needs to be consequences.
But of course China, as you say, you know, they're they're,
they're they're feeling a little up against the wall right now.
(37:51):
Are they gonna lash out? We've had disputes with them
over the South China see other you know, geopolitical problems,
and those may be exacerbated in the short term if
we try to ensure that there are consequences for China's
cover up of the virus release. As you say, if
nothing else, we at least know that the Chinese regime
covered up their mistakes and made the coronavirus, you know,
(38:16):
a pandemic as opposed to a local problem there in
the Wuhan province. Well, I don't want to back in
a corner here, Cam, but going forward, I don't care
about what you've done in the past. Going forward. Are
you still going to eat Chinese food? Oh? I will
eat Chinese food, But I will tell you this. My
wife and I were asually looking for a new TV
(38:37):
this week, and we specifically started looking. We said we
don't want to buy when that was made in China.
We don't want to support that, so, you know, even
to my house. I mean, we're taking steps to do
what we can to wean ourselves off, and the chief
Chinese good. But look in the in the rural county
where I live, there is one Chinese restaurant. Its name
is called China, and I'm going to continue to support
(38:58):
that family. These are good folks. You know, their kid
goes to school with my kids. And I want to
do what I can to help up my neighbors. But
you know, the Communists, Am I going to do what
I can to help them at? Absolutely not? What about Hollywood?
I look beyond Hollywood, forget that Hollywood, the NBA CAM
it matters. It matters a lot to me. But I
(39:21):
don't know that there's a solution to that problem. Either.
We have this is not you know, tinfoil on your
head stuff. We have China forcing Hollywood to rewrite scripts,
redo scenes in order to make them more China friendly.
Right here in the United States of America. That's happening.
The days of Red Dawn, where we could show the
dirty Russians parachuting in to get us, those days are
(39:42):
long gone. How do we do anything about that? Or
do we you know, again, that's really difficult because under capitalism, right,
we believe in free markets, and China is a bigger
market than the United States is simply because of their population.
So what do we do, right, Do we start to say,
all right, well, we are capitalists, but we're also nationalists,
(40:05):
we are patriots, we put America first. Or do we again,
do we keep just chasing after that dollar, even if
it means that, you know, Hollywood is being funded, the
NBA's being funded in part by, you know, a communist
regime that will exert its power and influence. I think
these are really difficult choices for a lot of these
(40:25):
companies to make. I personally would love to see Hollywood
turn their back on China. I would love to see
the NBA say, yeah, you know what, we had our
little experiment here. We know that Lebron James loves the
you know, the Chinese government, but we're going to go
off in a different direction. I just don't know that
it's going to happen, Particularly given the economic problems that
the coronavirus is rought here in the United States, companies
(40:47):
are going to be looking to make their money anywhere
they can, and China I fear is going to continue
to be a pretty attractive offer for them. Heam Edwards
bearing Arms dot com. Thank you, my friend. I always
gonna talk with you, Jesse. Thanks. Sure. It's Taco Tuesday. Yeah,
(41:08):
hang on, well, allow me to drop some knowledge on you.
Today is Sinko to Mayo, and that actually stands for
May fifth. I bet you didn't know that it's an
important holiday in Mexico. I actually don't know if it's
an important holiday in Mexico. I just made that up
(41:30):
because I'm an American. I make up other traditions for
people all the time. But it's also Taco Tuesday. So
here we are. We're facing Sinco to Mayo. We're facing
Taco Tuesday. And what are most of you facing. You're
facing closed restaurants. Man, you should be out eating enchiladas
having a margarite with the wife tonight, but you can't
do that. However, all hope is not lost. Allow Jesse
(41:54):
to drop something on you right now. One. I know
this is going to blow you away. One and to
the store. Get yourself a good a good Mexican beer
like Corona or something like that. Get yourself some limes,
go home, get it on ice. Now it's food time,
and I know what you're thinking, Jesse, Please guide me.
You don't have to stress out about your local Mexican joint.
(42:16):
We have a place here in Texas, and from what
I understand, they're expanding everywhere. It's practically the only Mexican
place I eat at. You want to see what it
is here? It is. That's right, Taco Bell. If you
have one in your area, and that's a big if.
Here's what you order at Taco Bell. You get a
cheesy gordita crunch, maybe too, depending on how hungry you are.
(42:39):
Make sure you say no lettuce, because it's a freaking taco,
not a salad. Get some extra spicy ranch on there.
Get their diablo sauce, get a couple of orders and nachos.
They also have those little cinnabon cinnabon balls or bites.
I don't know what they call them, but they're these
delicious little cinnamon donut things and they're stuffed full of
cream and it's the best thing you've ever had in
your entire life. Enjoy your corona, Enjoy your Taco Bell.
(43:02):
If you're lucky enough to have one in your state,
I'll see them all. Your holster is way more important
than you think it is. It's just way more important
than you think it is. What look, and I get
that the holsters not the sexy part of carrying firearms.
(43:25):
All right, you want to talk about your weapon and
your ammunition. You want to talk about your safety training.
I want to talk about how you did it at
the range. I'll look at my groups. I was doing
these failure drills today and all that stuff is really important.
I mean, really really important. I'm not discounting that, but
I've known so many people who do all those things.
They take all the necessary steps, and then they carry
(43:46):
with a holster they bought from a big box hunting
store that was made a thousand at a time. Please
don't put your life in one of those holsters. You
