Speaker 1 (00:02):
What is going on with Bob Menendez. We'll talk about that,
We'll talk about our education system. We're going to make
fun of AOC. We're gonna have a great night tonight.
And I'm right. You know what's funny about politics, really

(00:25):
about most things, is the people in any given industry,
they know who the good people are, who the bad
people are. They know, Hey, don't do business with this guy,
do do business with that guy. Hey, I heard that
lady's really mean. I heard that dude's really nice. The
people in any business, they know the true stuff that

(00:48):
you and I will never know. You and I will
never know. You me. You know what we don't really
know about. I mean, I guess maybe if you geek
out on the rumor magazines, you do. But you and me,
we don't really know about Hollywood because I'm not in
that industry. You're not in that industry. The actors and
actresses when the camera's off, behind the scenes, who's nice,
who's mean? You know, who's cheating on its taxes, who's

(01:12):
doing drugs? In the industry, everyone knows. I don't know.
You don't know. In politics, I do know because this
is what I do for a living now. Radio and
this now that I used to be a normal person,
Now I do this. So in politics, I do know,
or at least I know some You know who the
good guys are, who the bad guys are, who the

(01:33):
criminals are. Generally, when you see something good happen to
somebody in politics, generally, when I see it, I'll go oh,
I'm not surprised. Or when I see something bad, I
go oh, I'm not surprised. Joe Biden is mean his
entire career. He has been mean. It's not just his dementia.

(01:53):
He's mean to people, his staff, as everyone else. He's
a jerk. He's a jerk to everybody that's known in politics.
Bob and Endez is Everyone knows Bob Menendez is dirty.
This isn't new. Honestly, it's not even really news. Bob
Menendez is dirty. Everyone else watched this press conference and said, wow,
I see it. I watch it. You could ask my wife.

(02:15):
I watched this press conference and said, oh, yeah, I
can see that.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
My name is Damian Williams, and I'm the United States
Attorney here in the Southern District of New York. Today
I'm announcing that my office has obtained a three count
indictment charging Senator Robert Menendez, his wife Nadine Menendez, and
three New Jersey businessmen while Hannah Jose Ribe and Fred
Dabies for bribery offenses.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, and then I dig into the story more and
it's just so Bob Menendez. They found suits in his
house stuffed with envelopes. They had a bunch of envelopes
in all the soup pockets, stuffed full of cash. And
then they found gold bars, gold bars, and his Google

(03:07):
search history is how much is it gold bar worth?
How much is a kilo gold bar worth? That's Bob Menendez.
Bob Menendez. He was up for corruption years ago. In
everyone everyone who does what I do. Everyone in politics
knew it. Everyone knew he was guilty as sin. I
guarantee he's guilty as sin. This guy too. It's Bob Menendez. Frankly,

(03:31):
it's New Jersey. No one's surprised. Democrats can't even defend it.
They've got the knives out for him. Now.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Well, you know, I think it's the situation is quite unfortunate,
But I do believe that it is in the best
interests for Senator Menendez to resign in this moment.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
He's got to figure out whether he can adequately serve
the people of New Jersey.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
A member of Congress who appears to have broken the
law is someone who I believe should resign.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
They are coming for this senator, huh. Joining me now,
the great Dave Marcus, of course, columnist, author of the
book Charade about All the covid Lies, The Endless covid Lies.
All right, Dave Menandez is a well known scumbag and
political circles. Everyone has known this guy has been dirty forever.
None of this stuff shocked anybody. What is a little

(04:22):
bit shocking for a lot of people is watching Democrats
pile on right now. What exactly did this guy do? Dave?

Speaker 6 (04:31):
I mean, it looks pretty bad.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
He allegedly basically sold influence to the government of Egypt,
which paid him handsomely for it. Apparently the FBI found
half a million dollars in cash and shoved around different
places in his house.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
They also found gold bars.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
I think there might be an innocent explanation for that, though, Jesse.

Speaker 6 (04:52):
Maybe the senator is just a big.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Fan of conservative talk radio, and in these uncertain time
I just wanted to make sure that he could diversify
his assets. So look this all, this all looks really
bad Jesse. And the reason the Democrats are piling on
is because they don't want to look like hypocrites, at least.

Speaker 6 (05:12):
Some of them. And it's a it's a Democrat governor
in New Jersey. So they really lose nothing if this
guy's shown the door.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Okay, well, I'm glad you brought that up. I would
assume that too. Right, it's New Jersey, it's gonna be
a Democrat who cares it's blue. But Menendez is not
particularly popular in New Jersey. You know, the only one
is last raced by three percent. He is up for reelection.
Chris Christy was a Republican governor. There is this a
winnable seat?

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Yeah, man, I mean this is this is the Northeast.
I mean I grew up in Philly and uh, you know,
we used to say if our politicians didn't get indicted
at least once, they weren't working hard enough. So yeah,
Northeast voters will will look past an awful lot. And look,
Menanders went through this before, right, he went on trial

(06:03):
and it was a mistrial.

Speaker 6 (06:05):
It was like ten to two to acquit him.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
So He's going to try to fight through this, regardless
of AOC's virtue signaling.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Dave, do you foresee this being a problem for Joe Biden? Okay,
all of a sudden, they have their eyes on the DOJ,
they had their eyes on Menendez. Joe Biden's got more problems.
Does Joe Biden like this or does Joe Biden hate this? Politically?

Speaker 6 (06:31):
I think this does represent a problem for Joe Biden.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
This was something that was pointed out by my former
colleague at the Federalist, John Davidson. But when you dig
into this indictment, one of the things that it makes
clear is that Menendez is guilty of influence pedaling, whether
he actually changed any policy or not. Right, does this
sound a little familiar? The illusion of influence is also

(06:57):
deemed illegal here, So that's going to look horrible for
Joe Biden.

Speaker 6 (07:01):
I think that's a very serious implication of how this
is going to play out, Dave.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Are politics more corrupt than other people's politics historically? So corrupted,
it's so dirty. It's not a uniquely American thing or
Democrat thing or Republican thing, just the nature of the
business our politics. Now when I look at our government.
I used to for most of my life. I used
to think, Okay, so it's not perfect, but certainly better

(07:29):
than some tim pops crappy third world dump. I don't
know about that anymore. My wrong, I don't.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Think you're wrong, but I do think it's a combination
of two things. I do think that the license that
politicians feel to engage in things like graph has gotten
worse over the at least the past few years, right.
I mean, you can certainly go back to like Tammany
Hall and find situations in.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
Our history that were much worse. But I also think
just the nature of the Internet and.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
The news media, we're seeing a lot more of it.
There's a lot of stuff that would have been I mean,
you know, without Hunter Biden's laptop, for example, and none
of this stuff ever happens.

Speaker 6 (08:10):
Right, So I think technology plays a role.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
But I do think you're right that politicians are pretty
brazen these days.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Okay, speaking of politicians, this New York Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams,
Joe Biden thing that's happening, well here is Cuomo.

Speaker 7 (08:28):
Immigration. Migrants are a federal responsibility, and the federal government
has failed to manage the problem. But The playing truth
is New York City is overloaded. We cannot take more
than we have taken.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
And the plain truth is New.

Speaker 7 (08:49):
York City cannot pay the bill for this migrant problem.
It makes no sense. It's madness. Mayor Adams is right,
this is unsustainable and it is unjustifiable. And it's not
a New York City problem. It is a federal and

(09:10):
a state problem.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
First, Dave, I think the New York City situation. I
find it to be very interesting because Eric Adams is
a Democrat, Joe Biden's a Democrat, Andrew Cuomo's a Democrat,
and Eric Adams now Andrew Cuomo had been very, very vocal,
very public about the failures of the federal government. That
means failures of Joe Biden. This is causing a rift,

(09:33):
and I don't understand it. Why doesn't Joe Biden just
stroke him a big check, that's all they want and
walk away.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
I'm not sure that's all Andrew Cuomo wants.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
There are very few things in this world that I
think I know for absolute certain. One of them is
that Andrew Cuomo still believes he's going to be President
of the United States one day. He was so close.
I mean, you know, going back to the Covid lies
of the christ Nation, right, you go back to a
COVID There was a point in the summer of twenty
twenty when people were really talking about replacing Joe Biden

(10:07):
on the ticket with Cuomos. So I think in Adams's case,
he's just flailing. He needs some answers, and I don't
know that a check even solves his fundamental problem. In
Cuomo's case, I think I think Cuomo wants to be
President of the United States.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Okay, how in the world can you go from being
disgraced governor of New York removed from that post? I
need to point out, I need to remind everybody to
president of the United States.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
I mean, the way you do that. We were all
a little surprised when he actually stepped down. Everybody you
know in New.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
York thought that he would try to fight through it
the way Menendez is. In retrospect, it looks like a
strategic retreat because.

Speaker 6 (10:54):
He was able to just get himself out of the news.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
A lot of the heavier sexual alleations against him kind
of fizzled a little bit. You know, he didn't end
up in any criminal hazards so I look, the Democrats
don't have a deep bench, right. All you hear about
is Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Wigmer. I think Andrew Cuomo is
still on that shortlist, and quite frankly, I think most

(11:18):
Democrats probably wrongly think he did a good job with
COVID grief.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Thank you so much, brother, I appreciate it.

Speaker 6 (11:28):
Thanks for having men.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Do you want to know who else is running in
twenty twenty four, I'll tell you in just a moment
before we get to that. Let me get to this.
When we carry our weapon, when we carry concealed, what
we often do, what I have done in the past,
we buy insurance to go with that carry. Why we
buy that insurance, they tell us, hey, if something happens

(11:53):
you have to use your weapon, we will step in.
We will cover you the legal fees. But what most
people don't know is most of that insurance is cancellable
by them. They can look at your case. Oh we
don't like it. We just we're done. As you know
that your insurance is cancelable. That's why I like attorneys
for freedom. Attorneys on retainer twenty four hours a day,

(12:16):
seven days a week, not an insurance company. Attorneys on retainer,
attorneys who actually care about freedom. They're never going to
drop you. All you have to do call them or
go to the website Attorneys on Retainer dot US. Attorneys
on Retainer dot US. Promo code Jesse gets you fifty

(12:39):
bucks off your sign up fee. But go and get
an attorney not insurance. We'll be back right now. What
am I joining here? Do you ever laugh? We're about
to talk about Dome and Dummer, Biden and Paris, and

(13:00):
I'll be honest with you, maybe this is a coping mechanism.
It probably is a coping mechanism. But I find myself
laughing a lot, and not just laughing at both of
them as we're about to do. I find myself laughing
about how ridiculous all of this is. And yes, it's

(13:21):
sad and it's horrible. I know it's not funny per se,
but just wrap your mind around this. We are the
United States of America. We are the United States of America,
the number one country in the world. Now pause on
that for a moment, because you probably take that for granted.
I know I have taken that for granted many times

(13:43):
in my life. The vast, vast majority of people who
have ever and will ever live on this planet at
any point in history, will at no point reside for
even a day within the border of the number one
empire on the planet. You know, there's only number one country,

(14:04):
only one number one at any given moment, really on
the planet. You have lived here. I have lived here
my entire life.

Speaker 8 (14:12):
This is America, and Joe Biden is now the man
who's in charge of it in Dome is his vice president?

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Did you hear him? Call LLL cool J boy.

Speaker 9 (14:29):
The two of the great artists of our time, representing
the groundbreaking legacy of hip hop in America.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
L J cool J.

Speaker 9 (14:40):
By the way, that boy's got you got man's got
biceps bigger than my thigh.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
It's see a racist? I don't know who knows? Is
this the main old jerk who knows if he's racist
or not? I don't know. Is that embarrassing? It's embarrassing, man,
that's our president. Don't you ever laugh about that? I
do remember he was standing up here on this one.

(15:09):
I want to clarify before I play it. He's standing
up in front of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The Congressional
Hispanic Caucus and he was Joe, here's how he did.

Speaker 9 (15:23):
And I mean this insert that my dad, You say everyone,
everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect.
Congressional Black caucusm what is all those values?

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, the Black Caucus. I mean, look, they all look
the same to Joe after all. Wasn't it just last
week he was up there rambling on about how these
are the ones. None of these people have diplomas anyway.

Speaker 8 (15:49):
And then and then it's not just that it's Joe Biden, right,
because we talk about, especially now with this impeachment inquiry
stuff coming up, we talked about it, are.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
They going to impeach him? Hey, they're gonna imp each
Joe Biden? Are they going to impeach him? But who
cares if they impeach Joe Biden? Dome is the backup plan.

Speaker 10 (16:13):
You know that old story about the two frogs and
the pots of water. Okay, so here, you're a good storyteller,
I'm gonna tell you ki story. So two frogs and
two pots of water. So in one pot of water,
you drop the frog in and you slowly turn up
the heat, and that frog will be like, oh, it's
getting little warm in here. And then that water starts

(16:35):
to boil, and that frog perishes. In the other pot
of water, you turn up the heat to the point
it's boiling, you drop the frog in it, they'll jump
right out. Let's not be that first frog.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
But you actually want to be the first frog because
the hold up anyway, that's the Vice President of the
United States of America. And we're used to just talking
to these people as if they're children, but these are
the people who lead the country. And now Democrats are

(17:16):
starting to worry, starting to worry about twenty twenty four,
understandably because you have President Mumbles and you have Vice
President Dome. Jim Clyburn's being asked about all this stuff.

Speaker 10 (17:30):
Let's turn to Vice President Harris. Do you see her
as the future of the Democratic Party?

Speaker 5 (17:35):
I see her as a part of that future, absolutely
the future. Though Is she the future of the Democratic
Party or she could very well be. And I look
to her as a successor to this president. But I
also know the history of that as well. It's not
a given. You don't automatically move up. She'll have to
compete going forward with whoever may have dreams and aspiration,

(18:00):
and I think she will look quit us if well, well.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
With a whot of confidence like that. Keep in mind,
this is freshly on the heels last week of Nancy
Pelosi being asked about oh eight thousand times in an interview. Hey,
so what do you think about Dome? Hey? Is it
going to be Dome? And she was tap dancing around
that answer. Then there's Clyburn there was she the future? Well,
I mean she's part of the future. Is she the one?

(18:26):
I mean she could be certainly might be the one.
All these things are very very indicative, and I promise
you Dome is hearing all this. Some people like Chris Giomo,
they're being a little bit more forward about the whole thing.
You know how your polling goes.

Speaker 9 (18:41):
Yeah, you check every box that the current president doesn't
for the people who are worried about him, I.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Have deep respect, reverence for Joe Biden as a person.
His character is decency and his capacity to do great things.
That's why I'm not worthy of that conversation. This guy
deserves and we as members party deserve to have us back. Yeah,
he's even doing the good citizen thing now. I've never

(19:11):
been more sure that he's running than I am right now. No,
I really couldn't, and that he's doing the thing they're
all doing. Nah, I shouldn't. I really couldn't. And it'll
be about next week. Okay, I guess I'll do it
since everyone wants me to. We all see it. Common.
You want one last little tidbit of evidence that Gavin
Newsom is running, I'll give you one. California is an

(19:35):
insane place. Now. It sucks because it's a beautiful paradise.
I've lived there, but it's an insane place now run
by knutball communists, and it will circle the drain now
for quite some time. And because it's an insane place, California,
of course had a bail sailing through a bill, a
bill sailing through the legislature. What did this bill say?

(19:56):
It essentially said, they can transition your child, they can
chop your son's penis off behind your back. It's pretty
much what it said. If you try to object, they'll
take your kid away from you. That's what the bill said,
one of these insane bills. And as it's going through
the legislature, everyone's freaking out about it. Oh my gosh,
this is insane. This is insane. Why is everyone freaking out?

(20:17):
About it because everyone just naturally assumed, well, the bill
was going to become law. Of course, of course the
bill is going to become law. It is California, after all.
Gavin Newsom just vetoed the bill. I know what you're
thinking with Jesse. Isn't that a good thing? Yes, it
is a good thing for all those California children. Gavin

(20:38):
Newsom didn't veto that bill because he's some right wing
social values guy. He vetoed that bill because he's not
a man who's interested in being a California politician any longer.
He's a man who doesn't want to have to defend
that bill to all fifty states of the Union. That
probably made you uncomfortable too, But I am right. We

(21:01):
are going to talk to Liz Wheeler about my theory
on that and more. We're going to talk to her next.
Before we get to Liz, let's get to this. Let's
get to taking care of our dogs. We take care
of ourselves, and we think we take care of our dogs, right.
We think we get our dog's real nutrition with the
dog food. No, we take the time. No, I got

(21:22):
them this special blend. No I switched brands, but all
this dog food. We talk about, we think about it.
It's all dead. All dog food is dead food. They
kill everything in dogfood. It's just empty calories. There's nothing
in it. Rough Greens is alive. It's actual nutrition for
your dog. Your dog will be healthier. You will see

(21:43):
a difference in your dog's energy. Its coked, it's breath
is life. Roughgreens dot com slash Jesse gets you a
free bag. All you pay for is the shipping. Or
you can go call them eight three three three three,
my dog, We'll be back.

Speaker 11 (22:09):
They are devastating this country. They are undermining children and
veterans and seniors with the kind of cuts that they're proposing.
And they're literally almost eliminating education in this country.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Literally, they're literally doing it literally and then literally almost.
But she had to throw in that word, didn't she Gosh,
I can't take it anymore. Joining me now, the great
Liz Wheeler of the Liz Wheelers Show and world famous
author a couple times over in the new book Hide
Your Children, which you should be doing from these freaks. Hey, Liz,

(22:47):
are they literally taking away education? Is that what they're doing? Liz?

Speaker 12 (22:53):
I wish that we were literally taking over our education
system and literally getting rid of it, because it's one
of the only ways that we can get rid of
this indoctrination. And less, of course, Republicans were smart enough
to use the education system the way it was intended,
which was as an indoctrination center, but indoctrination of Christian
and American values. If only Republicans are smart enough to

(23:14):
do that, Liz.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Why aren't they? Why aren't they smart enough to do that?
Because they're not. They're useless and I hate them. Why?

Speaker 12 (23:25):
Yes, I largely concur politicians are useless. We should dislike
them all and be critical of every one of them
in both parties. The reason why is because the Republican
Party lost sight of what we believe. And what I
mean by that is our constitutional heritage is a heritage
to use our government to properly order society. We are
supposed to acknowledge right and wrong as defined by Judeo

(23:47):
Christian morals. And yet for the past fifty years, as
these Marxists have been subverting and infiltrating our institutions, the
Republicans have done little to nothing to fight back. I
mean quite obviously. That's why we're in this cultural insanity
that we're in because Republicans forget that the definition of
liberty and you and I, Jesse, I think we'd like
to think that we live in a free country, although

(24:08):
it's at risk. But Republicans in the Republican Party define
liberty as the ultimate end for a country, whereas the
true definition of liberty is the means to something greater.
So if you define liberty as the ultimate end to something,
then you would have to admit that drag Queen Story Hour,
where grown men are dressed up as sexualized versions of
women gyrating in front of children, that would have to

(24:29):
have some inherent morality to it because they simply had
the freedom to do it. And yet you and I
know that that's not only grotesque, it's downright evil, which
means that the actual definition of liberty must be that
liberty is a means to something greater. And Republicans, we're
so good at pointing out what's bad, what's wrong, we've
forgotten to define what's right and order our political agenda

(24:53):
towards making our society achieve that.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Liz, I don't think we want to define what's right.
From what I see, we don't have the balls to
define what's right, with all due respect, I think that
it's a I don't want to get yelled at thing.
It's easy to criticize, right, But they don't want to
say what's right. They don't want to say, this is
what this should look like, this is what a secure
border should look like, this is what a family should
look like. They don't want to because then once you've

(25:19):
pointed that out, then you just open yourself up for
more criticism. And Lord knows Republicans hate that.

Speaker 12 (25:27):
Well of course, right. I mean, the second half of
my book is a critique of the Republican Party. Like
we expect evil from Democrats, right, but we would hope
that the Republican Party, which is supposed to serve as
a bulwark against these evil these evil people doing evil things,
would be somewhat effective. They're not because they'd rather have
embraced this idea of libertarianism because it gives them moral

(25:48):
license to do whatever it is they want to do.
But I mean, I was a libertarian when I was
younger too. I think a lot of us were. I
don't say this with animosity per se, but libertarianism simply
doesn't work. I mean, think about the laws in our nation,
We have laws right now that are purely for moral purposes.
For example, children aren't allowed to walk on the floor
of a casino. Why because it's physically harmful for them? No,

(26:11):
because we all agree that it is a moral hazard.
Republicans have forgotten that there is a just use of
government to actually play offense and push our values, not
force people to practice religion if they don't want to,
but to order our society towards flourishing Jesse. There's no
such thing as neutrality. Republicans have fallen for this idea

(26:32):
that if we remove morality from our legislative efforts and
from our culture, then it'll just be this even playing field.
But that's not the case if our if we do
not define the values that shape our culture, the left
will And that's exactly what's happening.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
You know what The difference, well, one of the differences
between men and women is I look behind you and
I see all these nice books, like you wrote this book,
and there's all these books, and it's all set up
in this really nice decorative way. That's where your book is.
My book is here too, and it's under there's a
stack of about fifty pieces of paper here and then
there's one copy of my book. It's on the desk

(27:09):
over here, Liz, yours is wallpapering behind you, and this
is where mine is. That's because Aubrey won't come into
the end of the studio anymore. She says, it smells well.

Speaker 12 (27:22):
I mean, yes, you could have a little more decorative
touch in your studio. Is it too much, Jesse, with
all these books?

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Is too much?

Speaker 12 (27:28):
Because earlier in the day, I actually had one of
my books on the Liz Wheeler Show signed, but it
kept falling and crashing in the middle of when we
were trying to film, so I had to take it down.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
But the goal.

Speaker 12 (27:38):
Was to absolutely plaster the place with them.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Uh, you did it. You did it all right, Liz.
One thing I do want to talk to you about,
speaking of your book, is it's crazy how much of
our own destruction we're funding. Like I talk about this
all the time on my show. I know you do too,
about how we pay this tax money. We pay these
tax dollars, and so much of our tax money now
goes to government or non government institutions and organizations that

(28:07):
are Marxist institutions and organizations. The Department of Education, takes
our tax money, and what do they do with it? Liz?

Speaker 12 (28:16):
They indoctrinate our children. But the thing is, you know,
I don't think indoctrination is bad, you know, I think
it's a morally neutral concept. I think it's what's being
indoctrinated into our children that determines it. This is what
I challenge conservatives to do in my book. I really
think that the only solution to this cultural insanity that
we're experiencing is if we start playing offense, if we
abandon this idea that liberty is licensed, and we have

(28:40):
to use the just authority of government to push forward
to ban critical race theory, ban transgender ideology, educate children
on the horrors of communism.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
We have to.

Speaker 12 (28:48):
Acknowledge the Judeo Christian morals and truth, the objective reality
that underpins our society. So the first half of my book,
I'm proud of I name the names of the organizations
and the people that are behind the attack on America's kids.
For the second half of my book, I'm even prouder of.
I think I'm going to get more pushback on the
second half because it's going to rattle some conservatives who

(29:09):
like to think conservatism is libertarianism. But I'm here to
tell you that it is not.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
About that hydrid children. Speaking of hydrid children, Liz, I'm
glad Miguel Cardona got up said this yesterday on camera,
not yesterday, two days ago, whatever, who cares what day
it was. This is what he said.

Speaker 13 (29:27):
Here was I respect differences of opinions. I don't have
too much respect for people that are misbehaving in public
and then acting as if they know what's right for kids.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Liz, I love when these people speak like this about
these stupid parents, and now these dumb parents don't know
what they want for kids. I love how honest they are.

Speaker 12 (29:47):
Now, Yeah, he respects everyone's opinions as long as you
agree with him. As long as you don't dissent for
what he wants to do, then he respects your opinion.
God forbid a parent have an opinion about their child's education.
Listen these people. One of the things that I mentioned
in my book is we're so used to ignoring the
fake news and the false narratives and the lies that

(30:08):
come from Democrats and their mouthpieces and the mainstream media,
that we actually forget sometimes to listen to what they say.
Because democrats actually do tell us what they believe. They
do tell us what their goal is, and they tell
us how they're going to strategically accomplish that goal. And
one of the main things they're doing right now is
trying to undermine parental rights at every turn, whether it's

(30:29):
mentally or like mental health care, whether it's the transgender ideology.
You know, you might lose custody of a child in
California if you don't affirm their gender identity, whether it's
wanting to ban homeschooling, whatever it is, whether it's declining
a vaccine. They want to undermine parental rights because ultimately,
if they are to achieve their goal, which is to

(30:49):
take down the United States, destroy a free country, impose Marxism,
they have to destroy the nuclear family, and they have
to do it by focusing on children.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Her book is Hide Your Children. You see it displayed
all over, except it's not on her sign. Liz Wheeler,
thank you so much, Thanks, Jesse.

Speaker 12 (31:09):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Of course, Natalie Winters is going to join us next
for some investigative reporting. Before we get to Natalie, let's
do this. Let's talk about saving animals. How do we
do this. How do we go about saving that dog
that gets tossed out of the car, left on the
side of the road. Why do people do this? I

(31:33):
will never understand it. I'll never get it. People they
raise dogs and then they just let them go, just
drop them off. Delta Rescue they take them in. They
take them in and they don't kill them. It's a
care for life, no kill shelter. All of these animals
taken in by Delta Rescue will be cared for for life.

(31:54):
That's what you support when you support this organization. Go
to Delta Rescue dot org and give what you can give.
They only save those dogs. With your support, Delta Rescue
dot org will be back.

Speaker 9 (32:17):
And I may have noticed a lot of people are
focused on my age. Well I get it, believe me,
I know better than anyone. But there's something else I know.
When I came to office, this nation was flatting us back.
I knew what to do. I vaccinated the nation and
rebuilt the economy. Let's be clear, Kamalai came in office

(32:40):
determined to transform how the economy works, change the way
it literally functions.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, we're doing great. They keep doing this thing where
they do this press tour and they brag about bid gnomics,
and Janet Yellen tells people they're doing great, and President
Mumble tells people they're doing great, but people don't feel
like they're doing great. Joining me now, Executive editor of
The War Room, Natalie Winters. Natalie, it's kind of a
bizarre strategy to just go tell everyone, hey, the economy's

(33:12):
great when they can't afford eggs. Not one that I
would go with personally.

Speaker 14 (33:17):
I think it's sort of the same strategy they took
with the vaccines mandates. Aside, they went around telling everyone, oh,
it's same and effective, you should have to get it,
but we're also going to simultaneously try to influence you
through you know, media and social media censorship and put millions,
if not tens of millions billions of taxpayer dollars try
to force you into taking this vaccine. And I think

(33:37):
it's sort of the same thing goes for Bidenomics. If
it's so great, you shouldn't have to defend it so
staunchly and so frequently. This, of course, coming on the
heels of Joe Biden putting up a tweet trying to
draw a contrast between Maganomics and you know, the far
right bomb throwers up on Capitol Hill, and of course
Donald Trump himself and Bidenomics, and it's it's so in

(33:59):
your face. I think it's really an insult to our
intelligence when they try to draw the distinctions between these
two different approaches to fiscal policy to the economy, because
it's basically it's gaslighting, right, it's telling you not to
believe the reality that you see with your eyes, that
you feel with your pocketbook, that you feel with your checkbook.
But frankly, for so long they've gotten away with lying

(34:19):
to us about so much worse. They have an entire
censorship industrial complex to get away with it. So I'm
not surprised that they're pulling out the same stops on something,
even if it's so obvious.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
That it's not true. Nattie. Not only the American people
have not proven that they actually care about spending. Republicans
spend too much, Democrats spend too much, on and on
and on it goes. As we speak right now, Democrats
and Republicans are talking about how many billions they should
spend on this or that, But we don't have billions
at all. So this stuff kind of seems pointless if

(34:52):
no one's going to get a care until the collapse.

Speaker 14 (34:54):
Anyway, You're exactly right in Walt. Today, the debate may
be over you one point four to seven trillion verse
one point five and change trillion, if we don't actually,
really I think, have a course correction where we try
to incentivize and encourage economic growthrough in the United States
every year. Every two years, we're just going to continue

(35:16):
having that same debate and the numbers will get increasingly
higher until I would argue, we hit the point of
forty trillion dollars in debt, and we hit the point
where we're like the Roman Empire and fiscally we collapse.
I think societally, from an immigration standpoint, you can immigration standpoint,
you can almost argue that that societal collapse has happened.

(35:36):
But it's absolutely ridiculous, and I think again, it's the
insult to the intelligence. It's the fact that leadership up
here on Capitol Hill in DC wants to play games.
I think there's no better example than McCarthy wavering back
and forth on whether or not Ukraine is going to
be included in a potential cr in an omnibus when
it comes to DoD appropriations.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
They give a little red meat.

Speaker 14 (35:59):
To the and then you see two days later they're actually, no,
we're going to stuff the Ukraine training and you know,
billions of dollars to Ukraine, and it's just it's an
offense to the American people, but it goes back. It's
the same strategy as Joe Biden. They know they can
get away with it because empirically they.

Speaker 4 (36:17):
Always have.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Natalie. The Ukraine thing I find fast and fascinating. No
matter how much people hate it or love it, or
go Ukraine or go Russia, I don't really care. The
American people don't care about this conflict. Yet Republicans and
Democrats both talk about it like it's the most important
thing in the world. It's not on anybody's top ten list,
yet they love it. Can you explain that? Well?

Speaker 14 (36:42):
I think the answer is that they need a new
forever war. You know, the calls of Iraq and Afghanistan
that have sort of petered out. People aren't so you know,
much into that anymore, at least domestically. The new you know,
counter terrorism threat is you know, Trump supporters and MAGA people.
So it's not Islamic extremism, So the military industrial complex needs,

(37:04):
you know, some new grift, some new operation to make
a bunch of money.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
I only wish that.

Speaker 14 (37:09):
They saw our southern border as an opportunity, as a
cash cow, and they would deploy you know, troops and
weapons and whatnot there to secure the southern border. But
I think it really just comes down to breakly what
it comes down to every issue, whether it's Ukraine, immigration,
tax policy, fiscal policy, it's about the donor class. It's

(37:30):
about the people who are lobbying and fundraising and really
purchasing these politicians. And we know, the military industrial complex,
just like big Pharma, just like Big ad, just like
big food, really at the end of the day, gets
to call the shots, no pun intended. And I think
they really are looking to turn Ukraine into the new
forever war abroad.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
And I think they're.

Speaker 14 (37:50):
Looking domestically, at least from the big farmer perspective, to
kind of make COVID, to make Pandemics the new forever.

Speaker 6 (37:56):
War at home.

Speaker 14 (37:57):
So they need a new grift and Ukraine, I think
just happens to be that.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
What am I supposed to make so far of Kevin McCarthy,
I don't expect him to be some fire breathing anti communist.
You know, we were told we got all these concessions
from those twenty brave souls, and I'm glad we did
get some concessions. How has he been.

Speaker 14 (38:20):
He's an absolute liar, And I think look no further
than the sort of talking points that Republican leadership has
been putting out this week, saying that we can't shut
down the government because then we won't be able to
impeach Joe Biden, which is again insult to intelligence, a
bald faced lie into that. I would say, well, Kevin McCarthy,
I've been teaching Joe Biden was so important, was so

(38:42):
time sensitive, then why did you take a six week,
well over a month recess a break, taking congressional delegations
to every country, focusing everywhere except the United States If
impeaching Joe Biden really was of paramount important. So it's
these sort of games that they play. It's all messaging,
and I really think it goes back to sure these

(39:04):
investigative committees, Yeah, they've overturned or they've turned up some
interesting evidence. I would argue a lot of it sort
of deja vus, right, A lot of it links back
to the Hunter Biden hard drive. This is stuff we've
known about for a very long time. But those are
just meant to distract the American people from actual accountability
and actual action. It's just meant to keep the people complacent.

(39:26):
I would argue, it's the latest iteration of Brett and circuses.
And the fundamental thing here is that, sure, Kevin McCarthy
may have an R next to his name, but there's
really not much separating him between Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic Leader,
Mitch McConnell, and Chuck Schumer. They're all part of the uniparty.
They don't actually want to fundamentally change the way that

(39:46):
the system works. And because they only worked a total
of like fifteen days since June of this year, they've
now put us I would argue, intentionally in this position
where we have to pass a cr we have to
pass an omnibus, and we don't even have time to
do single subject spending bills. And again, just like we
ask about the bid energime, is it intentional or is

(40:08):
it incompetence? In this case, it's very intentional because this
is the way that business as usual goes in Washington, DC.
Because it's the way that the special interest is the
way that the donor class, and it's the way that
the uniparty wants.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
It to be. Pretty much every time. Natalie, thank you
so much. I appreciate it. Thank you. All Right, it's
time to lighten the mood. That was a lot, that
was a big show. We kind of light the mood
before we go. Light in the mood. Let's do this.
Everyone's complaining down here right now, down here in the

(40:42):
Houston area. You know why they're complaining because surprise, surprise,
looks like falls here, and it looks like everybody's allergies
are good, driving them crazy. Not me, though, I'm rubbing
it in everyone's face, because I'm that kind of person.
I don't have allergies anymore because I have eaten pure thunderstorms.
I keep them where I sleep, I keep them where

(41:02):
my son's sleep. We keep one in the living room.
We have them all over the studio here. I own
nine of these. Greatest air purefire ever goes right in
the outlet in the walls, just this little black box.
It doesn't even hardly make any noise. It's not like
the big towers. You will smell, you'll taste the difference
in your air. Go leave your room for an hour

(41:22):
and come back after you plug one in and see
what happens. Edenpuredeals dot com. What does that get you?
A three pack? Two hundred dollars off eidenpuredeals dot com.
We'll be back all right, and it's time to lighten

(41:46):
the mood. And nothing lightens my mood and brightens my
day like politicians being screamed at. I don't know why.
It just tends to warm my heart. So before we
get to that, let's get to this. Let's get to
the time time share that you think you're stuck in.
You're not stuck in your time share you think you are.

(42:06):
These time share companies lie. They get you in, They
get you to sign your name on the dotted line,
and they wait until you've had a good time. And
then when you're trying to get out of your time share,
you're just trying to give it back, they tell you, sorry,
it's yours forever. Pay your annual fees, forever, special assessments,
all these things, annual fees which have doubled by the way.
Then lone star transfer steps in. What do they do?

(42:30):
They get you permanently and legally out of your time share.
You're your one phone call away from being free. One
phone call call eight four four three one zero two
six four six and let them get you out. Eight
four four three one zero two six four six. Now

(42:52):
it is lighten the mood, after all, So let's do
something that lightens my mood. That's AOC. Really, any politician
being mocked. You see AOC. She owns a Tesla, and
the auto workers, these union guys, don't appreciate it very much.

Speaker 15 (43:11):
You were quoted back in July saying you look forward
to buying a union made electric vehicle, but you buy it,
but you currently have a non union made Tesla. UAW
already makes some electric vehicles, So why wasn't that? Is
it a problem with the quality, Is it a problem
with the style? Is the market just not there?

Speaker 3 (43:29):
I know our car was purchased during the pandemic when
travel before a vaccine had come out, So travel between
New York and Washington, the safest way that we had
determined was an EV, but that was prior to some
of the new models coming out on the market that
had the range available. But we're actually looking into trading

(43:50):
in our car now, so we're looking into it and
hopefully we will soon.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Of course she's looking into it. She was just car
shopping that morning. Of course, let's see it a while
