Speaker 2 (00:38):
Wello and happy New Year. Great to have you with us.
I'm Bill Martinez and we are live. For more information

Coming up, two special guests. First one is John Guandolo,
former marine, so you know there's affection there. And John
is also the terrorism expert and former FBI and national

(01:01):
security expert, and he's going to be analyzing the current
threats that we're faced with as citizens. Hey, what do
we do about it?

Speaker 3 (01:10):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Can we talk situational awareness? Can we realize that the
threats are real and maybe they're quite In contrast to
what the President has been saying of course, it's it's
hard to believe the president and some of these institutions
that have been telling us, you know, particular things about
terrorism that really have nothing to do. But there is

(01:31):
real terrorism, but it needs to be correctly identified. And
this has been one of the challenges that John Gundola
has had for many years in training you know, FBI
and other agencies to get them to wake up to
really what terrorism is out there. And of course this
is on the heels of an open border that we've
gone through for the last four years. We don't know,
I really the number. I mean they asked them a

(01:53):
ten million. I mean, you hear anywhere eight million, ten million,
I mean, pick a number. Is it twenty million? I
don't know if it's that high, but certainly maybe combined
it's certainly more than twenty million. For a long time,
they said, oh, we've had eleven million illegal immigrants in
this country, and they've been staying with that number for
you know, over a decade. So you know that number

(02:14):
has increased, if nothing else, just by the mere birthright
that happens amongst the immigrants, because they're still having they're
having babies. And oh yeah, by the way, once they
have babies. That child is a citizen. You know, how
goofy is that, you know, And of course the media
is all concerned, Oh, you're going to break up families.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
You know, what do you do? Well?

Speaker 2 (02:37):
You know, and Tom Homan had a great answer says, now,
I don't want to break up families. We just send
the whole family, the entire family back missidea of anchor babies.
This has all been you know, a lot of confusion
and miss uh you know, misinformation, the misapplication of the
law of what the anchor baby was actually all about

(02:57):
and what it represented. But you know, the Democrats, the
radical left who have opened our borders, and I understand
you could probably be bruising your brain for a long
time to try to understand why, because that's what a
lot of people are asking why. Well, we know, when
it comes to politics, a lot that drives it is
the money. You know, It's that old axiom follow the money, right. Well,

(03:21):
John will be here, we'll talk about that in length.
And then also Jeff Carrera, my good friend from New Orleans.
He is a native New Orleans political commentator and host
of the award winning program Ringside Politics. He asks is
Joe Biden continuing to blow torch his legacy as he
spoils the well exiting the White House, and you know

(03:41):
that idea of spoiling the well, right it seems like
at every turn we just can't wait to get his
administration behind us so that we can, you know, get
this country.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Back on track.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Also the question that Jeff will ask us why Republicans
must be in lockstep in the first one hundred days
of the Trump administration. So my good friend John Kruerer
and also Jeff, I say, Jeff Creuerer and also John
Gundola will be joining us to break that down in
fact right now, John Gundola is ready to come on

(04:18):
the show.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Let's let's bring him on right now.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Hey, John, Happy New Year to you. Good to have
you with.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Us, Thanks very much. Great to be on with you.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Bill Well, President Biden.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Wow, what a hot messy continues to be the Democrats are.
They can't even admit that there was anything mentally, and
even Schumer as of over the weekend still kind of
tried to, you know, dodge the question of when did
he know Joe Biden was infirmed?

Speaker 4 (04:49):
Right well, because they're lying, Chuck Schumer is a long
history of lying and what's and you can't deny the
facts there. They're even contradict themselves. And so why I
would argue what you and I have talked about before,
this is a nefarious group of people that are undermining

(05:10):
the country, undermining their roads of office. I think this
is a real coup that took place several years ago.
I would argue January twenty twenty one, they have not
relinquished power, and I don't think they're planning on relinquishing power.
And this is where we find ourselves.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, as you know, today we had the certification of
the votes. It is official. Donald Trump is the forty
seventh president of the United States of America. And of
course the Democrats are bragging as if they're the example
of democracy and demonstrating to everybody how a transition from
one one administration to another should take place, right right.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Yeah, So when you look at these different events through
the lens of what the reality is of all the
things they've said in the workup not only to this certification,
but to the inauguration, and what we've seen mister Biden
do since election day, pardoning violent criminals, murderers, gang members,

(06:17):
what is it that they're trying to do the same
thing they did when they let millions of people into
the country that are excuse me, that are dangerous, and
they are trying to destroy the country. They're intentionally doing
it because these are people who are adversaries of the country,
and that's what they intend to.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Do, and they're adversarial to the Constitution John on its face.
I mean, really, that's the main question I think people
should ask, is that with everything that the Democratic Party poses,
is it adding or taking away from our freedoms? And
at every turn the Democrats want to have full control
and power. It is not about liberty, it's not about

(07:00):
the Constitution. I mean, if anybody is a threat to democracy,
it has been them, and they've demonstrated it on every turn,
have they not.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah, I think for them, what it is all about
is about control of the state and power. These are
status These are toutalitarians. And I think the most difficult
thing throughout all of this is Americans digesting that. And
of course now they dismiss it because they believe mister

(07:29):
Trump's coming into power, the lights are back on, Everything's
going to be fine. Everything is not fine. We're in
a real war, and these recent events around the world,
around the country demonstrate that. I mean, you can't take
any of these things in a vacuum. You know, mister
mister Biden given the medal of the Presidential Medal to

(07:52):
George Soros. If that is not a shovel to your
face to make you wake up that they are literally
awarding public in your face, the very people funding the
destruction of America, then you'll never wake up well exactly.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
And also let's mention Hillary Clinton for all that she did,
even as Secretary of State, what she did during the
campaign to put out this big lie that she paid
no consequence whatsoever, that cost the American people millions and
millions of dollars to chase this pipe dream. Anybody else
John would have been in jail for it, for what

(08:29):
she did. And you know, and she's she gets away
with it, and then she's awarded what used to be
a prestigious medal of honor, you know, the highest award
that an American citizen can can achieve. I mean to
me that that tarnishes that award, doesn't it?

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Sure it does, Sure it doesn't. This is what I'm
getting at is they're literally on the one hand, freeing
violent criminals, supporting the communist movement, the Islamic movement that
Jahatis in the United States, you've got Hamas Guy's work
and in the Bush administration for my maher Bitar working
in the Biden administration. They're advancing the Jahati cause, they're

(09:08):
advancing the communist car cause. And then they're flipping you
the bird to your face by giving Missus Clinton and
George Soros this award, and they're basically telling you there's
nothing you're going to do about it, and there's nothing
Donald Trump's kind of do about it. And we'll see,
you know, Donald Trump said he she should be in jail.
But he didn't do jack about Missus Clinton. He didn't

(09:29):
do jack about the many people who are in positions
of power that are traders. So you know, I'm told,
you know, he's got a new lot of life, but
he's still got people around him that do not understand
the problem, especially the Jahati problem, people like Rick Ranell
and Gorka. So I don't you know, I look at

(09:52):
the war from the way I've looked at it from
the beginning, the nature of the war and the nature
of the enemy, and the nature of the corruption and
the federal government. The only way we can win this
war is if American citizens identify the organizations and individuals
at the local level and flesh them out. The communists,
that jihadis and their collaborators. To think that one administration

(10:14):
is going to clean this up, that's not a sane thought.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, they've been in place for decades. Here, John, to
your point, I mean we talk about the deep state.
I mean it seems so simple and academic, but no,
that deep state is very, very deep and broad.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Is it not right?

Speaker 4 (10:33):
It is I prefer I know the colloquial is the
deep state, but it's really a counter state. Let's use
the Titan of now because in a political warfare, which
is a form of warfare from the communist side, that's
total war. The Kurana concept of war is total war.
Everything is in play, and that's the way they wage war.

(10:57):
And the counter state is that is the state that
is set up inside the existing state America to destroy
it from within, like a cancer. And we don't just
have one counter state. You have an Islamic counter state
and a communist counter state. They're working together seamlessly at
the local level. To destroy this country. They are on

(11:20):
the brink of winning, and everyone's sitting around again. We're
back to sitting on our hands. Not you and me,
but a lot of people hoping that mister Trump will
walk into office and the bad guys will magically evaporate.
This is we are in real danger and there are
key indicators. And again I love that you started with

(11:43):
this because I think we cannot underestimate what the symbolism
is of awarding George Soros and Hillary Clinton the presidential
medals exactly.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Well, as you say, the threats are clear, and you
know they're they're thinking that because they've been able to
get away with it for so long in cooperation with
the mainstream media that has done us no favors whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
They're in.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
They're complicit in all this because it's all driven, as
you say, power and control and money. When you follow
the money and you see how that money comes back
to politicians, how the political class extends favor to the
media to get them to do their bidding. I mean,
the deck is stacked against the everyday citizen.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
John Well, that may be how it feels.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
Here's my I mean the reason that I spend you know,
ninety five percent of my time training communities and citizens,
local officials and police when they'll do the training, but
truly for citizens because when you are able to see
and do your research, because we give those tools how
to find the organizations and individuals, good Americans do it.

(12:57):
And it's in the areas that we've been training people.
It's really quite frankly exciting to watch them, you know,
do really what mister Trump did in twenty sixteen, which is,
you know, pull back the covering and expose the disgusting
CD side of what's been going on in Washington too long. Well,

(13:20):
in the same way, we empower citizens at the local
level to actually put their finger on communists, jahatis and
people collaborating with them and really use it and quite
a large number of techniques to get them to either
stop doing what they're doing, but more likely leave their
county and go do it elsewhere. And of course that's

(13:43):
someone else's problem. The reality is, if you want to
liberate your county and fortify your county, it's actually not complicated.

Speaker 5 (13:50):
You could do it.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
You us have to have the will and the desire
to do it.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
And part of the situation is John at the truth
being known, most of these jihaties find themselves more comfortable
in the Blue states as opposed to the Red states
because of what you just said. I mean, the first
part of dealing with any problem is admitting that you've
got a problem. And Donald Trump has been an agency
of exposure.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
To all this.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
So now that you know, you have no excuse because
what's hanging in the balance here is not only your life,
but the lives of your children, your family, and your legacy. Right,
that's absolutely right, And you just nailed a really important point.
Over the years, you know, really, when I was in
the FBI from two thousand and six to twenty sixteen

(14:33):
or so, I mean, I still speak with members of Congress,
but I just I don't waste my time going to
DC anymore. It's proven to be not time real spec
But I briefed hundreds myself and one or two of
my colleagues. We've grived hundreds of members of the House
and the Senate over those years, even after elections transpired,

(14:53):
and only a few and you know, and your audience
knows who they are. The ones we worked with, only
a few. Louis Michelle Botmanchip Krevak Sue Myrak Trent Franks
had the courage to stand up Alan West and speak
truthfully about the Islamic threat. Your rest of them had
guilty knowledge, and they did nothing. And I would argue,

(15:14):
especially people like Mike Rogers on the Intelligence community a
committee who did nothing and continues to do nothing, continues
to speak half truth and lies about the real problem.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
I think he's criminally he and it's criminally negligent, just
like governors of places like Louisiana and Texas. Who's who.
In the case of Louisiana, I briefed directly when he
was an attorney, generally eight years ago about these threats
of Louisiana. He did nothing because he didn't want to
hurt his political career or the leadership of Texas, which

(15:49):
I briefed. I don't know twenty twelve, what's that twelve
thirteen years ago, and they've done nothing about the massive
joby network. And these are Republicans wils. So until people
decide they're going to abide by their oath of office,
which they're required to by law, they're not going to
do anything. And I don't expect them to. I don't

(16:11):
expect them to the only way we're going to win
this war is when citizens decide they are going to
identify and flush out the bad guys, and then you
can fortify your county and you can start fortifying your state.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Well, we're talking about John Gundolo, the counter terrorism expert,
former FBI agent John. You know, it all comes down
to those three important words in the Constitution. You can't
look to Donald Trump to be the answer. You know,
it's we the people. That's what the Constitution is based
on fundamentally. So if we the people go comatose, then

(16:47):
you get the kind of government that we've been dealing with,
not only four years under Biden, but we had eight
years of Obama that did his snow favors either and
here it is. You know, Trump has been kind of
doing this on his own and he's fighting his own party,
He's fighting the bureaucracy at every turn. You know, we said,
you know even before the election, that Donald Trump needed

(17:09):
to go into DC with reinforcement. Well, the reinforcements are us.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
It's we the people.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
We're the ones that must keep the pressure on Congress,
particularly in this case with the Republicans, to be in lockstep,
especially for these first one hundred days. John If we're
going to have any success, then the Republican Party, with
a very small margin to deal with, particularly in the House,
they have got to be in lockstep. And I think

(17:36):
they found that out quite clearly when they voted for
a new you know, when they voted to keep the
gavel with Mike Johnson, right, that's right.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
I mean, they are all these indicators. I just remember
what it was it fourteen years ago. The tea Party
went in and we were all excited, and they got
to the front door of the Capitol and basically turned
around and flipped us off.

Speaker 5 (17:58):
Yeah, and then walked in.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
And most of them, not all of them, but most
of them gotten step with the GOP leadership. And that's why,
you know, we've got the Democrats, which are the leading
edge of the communist movement in the United States. They
are organized and they have no problem fulfilling the lines

(18:22):
of operation to advance their cause. The Republican leadership is
so skittish, so scared, and so cowardly, and the only reason,
the only way they're going to do anything is if
the people have that branding iron right up against their
backside and jam it and burn their butts to get
them to do what needs to be done.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
You have to be standing over them to make sure
they do what's done, and when they don't, you toss thembout.
But we are to the point where we are on
the brink of losing the whole thing. And again that
what concerns me is the arrogance and in some cases
the silence of the real leadership of this hostile movement.

(19:03):
I'm talking about the Democrat leadership. We've got the regular
people out there running their mouths, but a lot of
them are quiet. It makes me wonder what they've got
up their sleeve. In the next well week or two,
but also the next month or two, we'll see.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Well, they're not going to give a power and control easy.
And as you know, in any kind of combat situation,
and this is really combat and what it comes down to,
and we're in close quarters right now, and it requires
no fear, it requires result. See, And that's been part
of the problem with the Republican Party is they've lost
their sense of resolve. Donald Trump has tried to energize

(19:42):
them and show them what it's like, but you know,
that's an uphill battle. As you said, because the traditions
of the Beltway are so well established that you don't
want to step on any toes. And like you said, here,
you know, we got hopeful and excited when the Tea
Party movement happened, and you're right, it was the Republicans

(20:02):
and Democrats just flipped, you know, flipped off conservatives and
said audios, you know, we want nothing to do with you. Well,
the next time was four years ago, January sixth. You
had patriots come out and say, look at this is bogus,
this doesn't make sense. And so it wasn't enough to
flip them off anymore. We got to jail them. So
they jail what twelve hundred people. I mean, you're talking

(20:22):
senior citizens, grandmothers.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
The kind of stuff that has been executed upon we
the people over the last four years, brought to you
by this administration is disgusting.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
It is. That was a great way to summarize that.
And I think the idea that just because mister Trump
is coming in, it's all going to change. The bureaucracy
is going to remain fairly unchanged unless mister Trump and
his people dig deep down into the bureaucracy to push

(20:53):
people out and we'll see, we'll see, but I'm certainly hopeful.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
But even if he.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
Does all that, that will not win the war. And
I just want to remind your viewers and your listeners.
Changing policies, fixing policies, changing or fixing issues does not
win wars. Wars are won by identifying and vanquishing the
enemy exactly. That is what has to have.

Speaker 5 (21:19):
You have a.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
Massive communist movement, a massive Islamic movement, and a number
of entities supporting them here domestically. But what is going
on in the United States is being controlled, coordinated, and
directed by hostile foreign powers. Right, no mistake. We are
in a war. And unless this administration comes in in

(21:40):
a war footing ready for a minute, right, I do
when he says that, I just it's got to be
all hands on deck, and that means all American patriots.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Well, unlike previously John Donald Trump, this time around seems
to have a higher sense of determination and urgency.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Last time. If you recall, I mean it's tough.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
I mean here, you you're an everyday citizen. You're going
into the Beltway and trying to deal with these people
that you know want to glad hand you and be
your friend, and meanwhile they've got a dagger that they're
putting in your back at the same time. And it's
just it's it's just absolutely discussed. But that's that is
the way the Beltway works. And I don't think Donald

(22:27):
Trump is set to be fooled like he was the
first time around.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
And as you say, we'll see.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
But in addition to all these nefarious act events that
are here in our country right now, then add on
it all these illegal immigrants that are controlled and tied
to the cartels. That is something I keep saying over
and over again. You know, they want to say, well,
these immigrants are you know, they're just like every day
said no, they're not. When they're beholden to the cartels,

(22:56):
they have no loyalty to America. They have, by threat
and buy a coercion, they have surrendered their loyalties to
the cartels that are operating on both sides of the border,
not just in Mexico.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
Right, that's right, that's right. And you know it's good
to note kind of go back in history. And you
remember after nine to eleven, Robert Mueller testified that al
Qaeda and other terrorist groups the way they were dressing
number one, to look more like they're from Central or
South America, and then learning enough Spanish so when they

(23:32):
got asked questions, they would just throw some Spanish phrases out.
They'd assume they're from Central South America and put them
over here in this pile, when actually these are real Jahatis.
So this is imagine that was going on when we
actually wanted the border tight and defending America. Now that
it's open, and just the incidental information we have of

(23:54):
people on the watch lists that have crossed the border
is astounding, and that doesn't include the millions that we
don't know who they are. And this administration has intentionally
aided and embedded that. So any misconceptions that Americans have
that the current administration is not intentionally acting to destroy

(24:15):
this country, I think you've, you know, you've got to be,
you know, as dumb as a cinder block to buy
bite off on that line of thinking, it.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Pretty well summarizes it all.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
I think in closing John situational awareness by the citizenry
is key right now because clearly what we saw in
these recent terrorist attacks, our government cannot control these terrorists,
and we all have to be vigilant and have our
head on a swivel and protect ourselves and our families.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Right, I'm gonna let you summarize and wrap it up.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Go ahead, Well, absolutely, I think you and your family
should be ready for what we're already in that just
hasn't led out over to the level that most people
are wondering if it's going to happen, which is a war. Yes,
I mean you have right now. Al Qaida is planning
major attacks. The Muslim Brotherhood is within itself in the

(25:13):
United States and North America deciding whether to go full
blown violent or since they've already got some ends to
the Trump administration, can they hold off the Trump administration
long enough to make it another four years and then
go full violent then? I don't think so, because there
are enough people in the Brotherhood and in the Muslim

(25:37):
community that are arguing to go violent. Now you've got
the communists who want to go violent. Now, I think
the storm that is at our doorstep, that's been brewing
now and culminating for the last three to four years,
is here. Yes, and Americans need to be prepared, and

(25:58):
they need to be thinking about how they are prepared
and how well organized they are with their neighbors and
their fellow patriots.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Well, we got to leave it there. John Guandolo, the
terrorism expert and former FBI agent. John, thank you so
much for being with us. Appreciate the insight.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Thank you, thanks for having me.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Thank you well.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Coming up next, we got Jeff Corwerre, our favorite new
orleaning is going to be joining us in just a moment.
Jeff is as his own award winning show and talk
show host himself. Looking forward to having a few moments
with him. But before we do, I just want to
share with you that this portion of the program is

(26:39):
being brought to you by my good friends at gold Co.
Now at these times, you know, smart money and smart
people are talking about investing in gold and silver.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Have you noticed.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
I mean that just seems to be a part of
the conversation every day. And I understand, I'm with you.
I mean it's like you know, people say, Bill, I
you know I'm thinking about this, But.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Who do I know? Who do I try us?

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Well, I'll tell you You've got to do your due
diligence as I did. And this is why I've partnered
up with gold Code. They are just an excellent group

and we're going to bring him on right now. My
good friend from Louisiana, New Orleans to be specific, Hey, Jeff,
Happy New year, my friend.

Speaker 5 (28:52):
How are you, hey, Bill? Good to be with you, sir, Hey.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
I appreciate your time, you know, to come on the
show here to you know, talk about the incoming administration.
The votes were certified, we didn't have another January sixth,
you know here. Donald Trump was supposed to be such
a threat to democracy, and even Joe Biden had to
swallow those words the other day when he was asked

(29:16):
about that, you know. So, you know, I think the
American people understand the truth, and I thought this was
an interesting number that they were looking at. Said that
when Donald Trump left the White House four years ago,
fifty six percent. Because of the narrative of the media,
Jeff believed that Donald Trump lost his privilege to become president,

(29:39):
and each succeeding year the numbers went down. You know,
I think fifty six went down to in the forties,
and there was thirties and up till election day it
was less than ten percent.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
What does that.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Tell you, Jeff, not to mention the vote, what did
the vote tell you?

Speaker 5 (29:56):
Right?

Speaker 6 (29:57):
Well, you know, Bill, I am just so thankful that
this day went by with certification. I'm thankful that now
the focus is on the future. I'm thankful that we've
got two weeks left that we don't have more than
that of Joe Biden disaster. You know, he's coming down

(30:17):
to my hometown today and you know, not looking forward
to seeing him. So it's just, you know, just an
amazing thing that where we are, based on where we
were four years ago. Nobody thought Donald Trump would be
back in the White House after January sixth, four years ago,
they were writing his political obituary and Louis, behold, here

(30:40):
we are celebrating a massive victory, celebrating a landslide, celebrating
the fact that we can restore our country again from
these wackos. These wackos aren't going to go away. As
you just talked about with your previous guests, we still
have dangers. I mean, we have a lot of threats
right and we're going to have to be on guard.
But thankfully Bill, we've got some you know, some good

(31:01):
news that we can share.

Speaker 5 (31:02):
And today was a big staff war.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yeah, and we need to to your point, Jeff, we
need to encourage one another. Let's not you know, let's
not got too overly concerned. Yes, the threats are real
and we must keep our head on the swivel. I
mean here it is. I mean, we're getting a former
military personnel who went and served our country and we
don't know everything about it yet. But what happened there

(31:27):
in on Bourbon Street, what happened in Las Vegas. We
don't know the whole story, but we do know there's
some similarities here between these two events. And not to mention,
you know, at the end of the year, what happened
in Germany, you know, you know, So there's something boiling

(31:47):
here that we need to be conscious of.

Speaker 6 (31:50):
Right well, no doubt, we've got to keep an eye
on real threats. And it fits into January sixth because
look at what our Department of Justice has been focusing on.
Bill and people have walked into the capital. For the
last four years, they've been rounding up these people, throwing
him in jail.

Speaker 5 (32:09):
Monitor over twelve hundred people.

Speaker 6 (32:11):
Jeff hunting them down, Bill Right, And we had a
guy who was radicalized, went to Egypt, went to Canada,
obviously was influenced.

Speaker 5 (32:22):
I don't believe that he did this just on his own.
And where was the FBI and monitoring this guy?

Speaker 6 (32:28):
I mean, all of these recent school shootings, these are
people that have been radicalized. Where are the FBI folks
that are investigating these types of people? Know they've been
focused on January sixth, So we need to get back
to real threats. We need to stop going after MAGA
and parents and Catholics and pro life supporters and go

(32:49):
after how about Jihadis? How about people that pledged allegiance
to Isis and people that are our.

Speaker 5 (32:56):
Real threats to our country.

Speaker 6 (32:57):
A lot of these transgender violence activists Antifa.

Speaker 5 (33:02):
So that's what I'm praying This.

Speaker 6 (33:03):
New Attorney General is going to be tough and really
move the Department of Justice in a whole new direction.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Well, it's not only the leadership, and it's we the people.
We the people must follow in locked depth to those
things that are good and righteous. This kind of craziness
has been happening in our country has been with our acceptance.
We've just kind of you know, let it happen. We
have bought in in order to accommodate these radicals. We've

(33:33):
accommodated them at what expense, At the expense of our
own constitution, at the expense of our own children that
are being controlled by you know, school teachers and psychologists
to say, oh, I know you think you're born a boy,
but you really are a girl. And we've got something
to take care of that for you. And don't worry.

(33:54):
You don't have to tell mom and dad about that, right,
And your pronoun is your pronoun, and we're going to
respect your pronoun even though your parents and your family
members don't.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
Shame on them, right.

Speaker 6 (34:05):
You know, we have been introducing topics and subject matters
issues that young children are not prepared emotionally, physically, morally
to you to handle.

Speaker 5 (34:18):
And it's it's it's.

Speaker 6 (34:19):
Child abuse that all of this has been you know,
foisted upon young children in school settings a lot of
times without the parents' knowledge. Need to get back to teaching,
have about teaching real issues. Have abut teaching real topics,
real subject matters, sortant subjects are going to help people
succeed in their professional life, not talking about gender and

(34:41):
and and really talking about sexual issues that.

Speaker 5 (34:46):
Are not appropriate for for young children.

Speaker 6 (34:48):
So that's a whole other thing. We've got to change
the way we're educating. We're not keeping up with a
lot of other countries as far as you know, our
young people because they're being you know, given all all
these issues to have to deal with, and it's really
causing a lot of them to have emotional distress. We
have higher numbers of suicides and people that are unfortunately

(35:11):
on drugs and claiming that they're transgender. That's because of
how they been really manipulated, unfortunately.

Speaker 5 (35:18):
By people in school settings and counselors, etc.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Yeah, I've been educated, they've been indoctrinated, and part of
the psychology of our nation has been greatly affected by
you know, this idea of diversity, equity and inclusion DEI,
which I said on its very onset, really should be
translated to DEE because it is a killer. It kills

(35:45):
people's spirits, you know, when you start offering I mean
they all started, Jeffy. If you remember, you know, performance
trophies were the thing, right, everybody gets a trophy, you know,
it's like, wait a minute, Welcome to Oprah.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Show.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
You get a trophy, you get everybody gets a trophy. Right,
it doesn't work. I mean, look what we've got after
all these years. Our kids have been dumb down, they've
been mediocritized by the institutions.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Jeff Right.

Speaker 6 (36:12):
Well, back in our day, Bill, we had to win
to get a trip. I mean, you actually had to
be on a team that actually won some games.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
And that way, when you got it, it meant.

Speaker 6 (36:23):
Something able to strive for that kind of excellence.

Speaker 7 (36:27):
When you give it to everyone, it really takes away
the incentive, it takes away the thrill of competition. It
doesn't help at all in the development of young people.
So you're right, that was really a trend that we've
seen over the years.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
It has been very detrimental. A lot of these.

Speaker 7 (36:44):
Things that have been done supposedly to help the feelings
of young children have really been very.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
Detrimental to them. And we've got to get back.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
To some traditional education, traditional discipline, traditional morals. I'd love
to see prayer introduced in the schools here in Louisiana.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
We're putting the Ten.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
Commandments exactly back in the in the school room.

Speaker 6 (37:07):
So those are some things that I think could have
some positive results.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
Yeah, why not.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
I mean, look at what was going on with the
education system when, oh my god, the Ten Commandments was
in the hallways of these schools. I mean compared to
where it is now. I mean, we don't want those
days again. When the kids were learning reading, writing, arithmetic,
these basic skill sets that made America's education system some

(37:34):
of the best, are the best in the world. But
you know, since public institution, public education institution has come
in which I think is right to be, uh, just restructured,
if not totally disbanded, because when you look at it
and for all the money we've been putting into it, Jeff,
is it worth it?

Speaker 5 (37:53):
No?

Speaker 6 (37:54):
And Bill one of the great promises of Donald Trult
but it was a promise.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
Really.

Speaker 6 (37:58):
Ronald Reagan is get rid of the Department of Education,
and I think that would be one of the most
positive steps that he could do as President of the
United States.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
Rip out all those bureaucrats.

Speaker 6 (38:09):
All of that money is being diverted from going toward
helping and teaching children. And I've bought the resources for children,
it's going to fat cats salaries. And I think education
is best at the local level here in Louisiana. We
had vouchers, which I think are a good thing. School
choice is a good thing. We got charter schools because
people are looking at their traditional public schools and they're saying, hey,

(38:31):
they don't work, they're not educating children.

Speaker 5 (38:33):
There's too much violence, there's no discipline.

Speaker 6 (38:36):
You've got to cater to what fifty sixty language is.

Speaker 5 (38:40):
How can you do that, Bill, No, it's impossible to that.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
I remember in one school district you know, our kids
were in, was predominantly a Hispanic district, and all it
took was two kids. I mean the school size is then, Jeff,
were about twenty five kids per classroom. Now, I grew
up with nuns, and I was rightful for the education.
There was like sixty three kids in a classroom. Sixty three, okay,

(39:06):
and some of the best education compared to kids that
went to public school. I was at least a year
year and a half ahead of them. And the teachers,
the nuns there were very, very efficient in controlling sixty
three kids. But in public schools twenty five and the
unions are screaming, the teachers are screaming, and then as

(39:27):
if that's not enough, you say Okay, we got these
two kids that have come across the border and you've
got to teach them. Okay, but the bad news is
they don't understand English.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
Just two kids.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
And now, of course they would love to only be
in a classroom with only two kids who can't speak
the language. As you said, you know, there are tens
dozens of kids in a classroom, and meanwhile, your English
speaking child that you pay taxes for is just sitting there,
you know, trying to figure it out.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Right.

Speaker 6 (40:00):
Know, that's exactly right. And I had guns to growing up,
and I remember they used to get their ruler out. Yeah,
believe if you are misbehaving.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
I thought that only happened to me. Jeff, it happened
to you too.

Speaker 6 (40:14):
At high school, we had Christian brothers and some of
these people. I mean, if you were sleeping on the desk,
they'd kicked the desk open and you'd fly out of there.
I mean, you had people that actually believed in discipline exactly.
And of course that helped the education of everyone because
people were able straighten up and focus on the studies.
They didn't have as many goofballs and you didn't have

(40:36):
as many distractions. But yeah, I think we can go
back to some of those good old fashioned teaching methods.

Speaker 5 (40:43):
That I think would work.

Speaker 6 (40:44):
And you know what also is happening, and I talked
about it on my show all the time, people are
moving a home schooling bill.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Yes, exactly, in big numbers. And you can't blame them,
I mean because and they're realizing Jeff in the process.
You know Sam Sorbo, who's a dear friend and a
champion for homeschooling. I'm sure you've probably have talked to
her many times as well, and she's there to help
parents who think, you know, oh my gosh, this is
so indomitable, how am I going to be able to
do this?

Speaker 3 (41:09):
And man, there have been many parents before you.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
The information that's available, the computer aided instruction that's available
to help you get your child through. It's amazing what
you can accomplish with three quality hours at home versus
eight hours in a classroom.

Speaker 6 (41:26):
And then you can also have associations where children that
are in homeschool settings can socialize with other children.

Speaker 5 (41:33):
Is actually the.

Speaker 6 (41:34):
Concern that people have, are my kids going to socialize
with other kids? And they can deal with that by
you know, combining forces with others at are homeschooling. Having
the kids interact provide that socialization the kids do you need.
But as you say, this can focus kids on education,
and you have teachers that.

Speaker 5 (41:52):
Really do care because.

Speaker 6 (41:53):
They're their parents and the whole The homeschool students that
I've met over the years have all and well disciplined
and well educated, bill Well.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
And what I love, also, Jeff, is what some of
these communities are doing, you know, these neighborhoods is parents
will team up together because you have one parent who
really loves history and they're really good, and so they'll
hold a history class with five kids.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
In the neighborhood, right.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
And then you get a math parent, you know, that
understands calculus and their sleep and all this stuff, and
they just you know, they're the math teacher for the neighborhood.
It's awesome the way it's bringing communities together and they're
finding themselves to be most effective. But you know, Jeff,
I know you feel the same way as I do,

(42:38):
and that is I believe those educational funds should follow
the child wherever that child goes, no doubt about it.

Speaker 6 (42:46):
And that's what we have seen over the years is
best that's the model we're trying to move toward here
in the Louisiana.

Speaker 5 (42:54):
That's what we need to do.

Speaker 6 (42:55):
On the national level, get end of all these bureaucrats
and people that are just on his exorbitant salaries that
are unnecessary, all his bureaucracy, and of course this extends
all throughout government, which is going to be a big
project of Doge's project that I think the Trump administration
is going to tackle. When you're thirty six point two

(43:15):
trillion in debt, bill, you got a lot of cutting
you need to do well.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
No doubt about it.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
When we're talking with Jeff Caruerer, he's the host of
Ringside Politics, author of columnists as well. Jeff, you know,
you bring up Doge and the Democrats are just shaking
in their boots because they know that this has been
something that the people have been asking for a long time.
Go back to Tom Coburn with his you know wayte study

(43:42):
that he would produce on an annual basis. That sense
has evolved into open the books and John Hart is
running that we lost and Andy and Jasky last year
suddenly and but and their team have done a great
job in exposing government and I know it's an aspirational

(44:03):
goal of musk and Ramaswami to cut two trillion dollars.
And everybody's shaking in their boots and they're talking about, oh,
you know, you're gonna cut Medicare, You're gonna do all
this damage of social Security. And Joe Biden brought that
up the other day and I was just screaming at
the television said, I said, wait a minute. You're the
one that let all these illegal immigrants come into the country.

(44:27):
You bankrupt our government, taking money, and you're claiming that
somehow you're protecting Social Security and Medicare.

Speaker 5 (44:35):
Give me a break.

Speaker 6 (44:36):
Let's not forget bill that Joe Biden is the biggest
veender in American history. He added more to the national
debt than any other president in history, eight point five
trillion and growing. I mean, these last few weeks are
going to be expensive because he's giving money away to everybody.

Speaker 5 (44:51):
But yeah, I think we can easily cut you trillion dollars.
I think it's very doable.

Speaker 6 (44:56):
I think what they can do is start closing down
some of these buildings in DC that you don't have occupants.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
Le sin, less than ten percent are coming give me
a break.

Speaker 6 (45:07):
How about say, hey, if you don't come to work
in the office, your fire, that would get rid of,
like what back ninety percent of the employees, I'll bill you.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
Well. Yeah, and plus the air thing too.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
The scam that they've got here, Jeff. You know they're
paid based on based on the zip code of DC
very expensive, right, Well, these people are living in North Dakota,
they're living in parts unknown outside of d C, where
the cost of living is quite a bit lower, but
they're being paid at a DC level equivalent. I mean,

(45:42):
this is the scam that they're putting on the taxpayer.
You know, Bill, this is another legacy of COVID. And
you know, we had the massive increase in spending from
COVID that they really.

Speaker 5 (45:54):
Never brought back down.

Speaker 6 (45:56):
They just kept it at that level and kept increasing.
So we have people that don't work from the office anymore,
people that are scamming and working from quote unquote home.

Speaker 5 (46:06):
All this extra spending.

Speaker 6 (46:08):
How about we get back to pre COVID levels of spending.
How about we get back to increases It makes sense
based on need, not just based on hysterias.

Speaker 5 (46:19):
So we've got a lot of work to do.

Speaker 6 (46:22):
This President is going to be so busy trying to
get it done, and you know a lot of people
are going to be rolling up their sleeves to try
to help.

Speaker 5 (46:29):
I mean, we can't keep spending like this bill.

Speaker 4 (46:31):
We can't.

Speaker 5 (46:32):
It's going to lead to I mean, the devaluing of
our currency.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
We know it already has.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
I mean, it's what at least twenty five percent less
than it was over the transition from Trump to Biden.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
And here it is.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
You know, we have the opportunity now with Trump coming
back to the White House. Of course, will drill, baby drill.
It's going to take some time. It's not going to
happen overnight. Probably the thing that will happen most rapidly
is the reduction in regulation nation.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
This is what he did before.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Remember when he came into office, he told everybody says,
for every one new regulation, we're going to get rid
of two. I think at one point, according to Peter Navarro,
who is on with me, last year he said, Bill,
we were knocking out eighteen regulations. He said, Peter, are
you kidding me? Are there that many?

Speaker 5 (47:20):
Rate?

Speaker 2 (47:20):
He goes, there are so many regular you have no idea,
you know how bad and how prolific they are.

Speaker 6 (47:27):
You know, that is what I'm hearing, Bill that the
most important thing that this president can do, along with
reducing spending, along with giving tax cuts, is getting rid
of some of these regulations.

Speaker 5 (47:40):
And that can be the most important legacy that he
leaves if he can.

Speaker 6 (47:44):
Deregulate to a great degree and increase the freedom of Americans.
So that would be a great gift to future generations
of Americans.

Speaker 5 (47:53):
But you know, it's not going to be easy.

Speaker 6 (47:55):
None of this is going to be easy, because you
know the Democrats are going to fight us every step.

Speaker 5 (47:59):
Of the way.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Well, the first hundred days is critical, and he's fighting
an uphill battle because we got a thin lead in
the House, as you know, and it's critical. The Republicans
found out that they didn't already know that they need
to stay in locked debt, and they found it out
in re electing Mike Johnson to be the leader of

(48:22):
the House.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
But they need to.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
Keep that mindset in place so that Trump can have
the most successful one hundred days of any president. Because
the issues are quite clear, they're not that complex, they're
very they're very simple in a sense, not that easy necessarily,
but they're right in your face. What needs to be fixed,
as you said, you know, the open border energy taxes,

(48:48):
you know, securing our national security. These are quite clear,
Jeff right, no doubt about it.

Speaker 6 (48:56):
Drill baby, drill, you know, reduce taxes, reduce regulations, rebuild
our military, hopefully get us out of endless war, secure
our border, bring back manufacturing, bring back our factories, bring
back our jobs to board people that are here illegally.
I mean, those are the sort of the cornerstones of

(49:16):
his platform and how he was elected. What's happening now
is Biden is trying to box him in that he
can't do a lot of this exactly. Drill baby drill.
I mean, look at what he's doing as far as
trying to make it impossible for him to drill offshore
with these new executive orders at Biden is now releasing.

Speaker 5 (49:38):
Two weeks before he leaves office. Bill.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Yeah, he'scharging, he's blow charging everything. You know, we used
to say, well, you know, you read in the books
in the old days, when the conquering nation would come in,
those that were conquered would spoil the well, right, this
is what Joe Biden is doing. It is more nefarious
than if you remember Bill Clinton and his team, what
did they do when George W. Bush call the w's

(50:01):
out of the keyboards of the computers?

Speaker 3 (50:03):
Right right? Yeah, much more encuous.

Speaker 6 (50:06):
Yeah, this is a lot more serious and that a
lot more dangerous. And it just goes It goes to
show you what type of person Joe Biden is, what
type of people he has got surrounding him.

Speaker 5 (50:19):
These are people that, in my view, are an evil.

Speaker 6 (50:22):
They're people that hate America, the people that don't respect
the will of the people. We just had a landslide
victory for this man, and they're trying to pervade him
from implementing the will of the people. So that's their mindset.
They've been feeling from the public getting away with it.
They're trying to get away with it again. And you know,
it's just going to make the challenge more difficult for

(50:44):
President Trump. But I've got confidence in him, and I
have the Republicans will do what they need to do
in Congress.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
Well, Jeff Carreerer, they've exposed themselves and in my humble opinion,
they do not deserve the confidence of the people and
the privilege to lead the people. They have abandoned their
purpose to exist in terms of serving the American taxpayer
and we the people.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
We got to leave it there.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Jeff Corras always, I so appreciate your time. God bless you,
my friend. Happy New Year. He's the host of Ringside
Politics show. The website they can go to Jeff to
find out more about you, my last.

Speaker 6 (51:22):
Name, crewair dot net, c R O E E R
E dot net and Bill as always.

Speaker 5 (51:26):
Thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
God bless you, my friend. Take care, take care. That's
a wrap for us. Thank you for being with us
and sharing a part of your time. May God bless
you and keep you, May make His face shine upon
you and give you peace.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Thanks again. We'll see you next week.
