Welcome to Bob Erica America Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
My name is Welcome and my name is Eric Methini.
Thank you all for joining us on this beautiful Saturday.
Thank you very much. And this is our last Saturday
for at least a couple of weeks. I'm gonna be
gone next week at one to Europe for eight days. Nice.
I'm going to Basil, Switzerland, a number of cities in
France and Germany, and then ending up in Amsterdam.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
So we're gonna have a great time. So thank you
all for tuning in. So we'll probably be back at
the end of July. But hit a Patreon, patroon dot com,
slash bomb and Eric, everything you give helps show continued
to come to you, hopefully as long as we can.
And I'll tell you one thing that's not going to
keep coming, and that's a war, a war that never
happened exactly. Well yeah, well, okay, so we kind of
(01:15):
had an interesting week in the in the MAGA movement.
Obviously early in the week late a lot of thing.
It was late last weekend. We didn't have a show
last Saturday, but in the last week we dropped bombs
on Iranian nuclear sites and MAGA quickly went into a panic.
It reminded me of April when the tariffs came out
(01:35):
and we saw immediately your four oh one case. We're
taking a little hit. People were losing their minds. Trump
coined the phrase panic in at that point, which I
thought was you know, it was well meaning, but I
I have I take a different perspective because I'm fully
in the camp of I don't want FOURGN wars, and
I think you are. I think I think most of
us are. We've lived most of our life engaged or
(01:59):
entrenched in some kind of conflict, and here we are.
We have the first president now to start any new wars.
But we do have an aggressive medieval theocracy in the
Middle East whose favorite catchphrase is death to America, and
they're developing nuclear weapons. Now Obama, let him do it.
Obomba infect paid for him. Joe Biden, nobody, Joe Biden
(02:22):
didn't do anything. No one was afraid of Joe Biden,
so that's kind of a non issue. So Trump comes
back and he eliminates their ability to create nuclear weapons.
He drops bombs on a couple of their sites. They're destroyed,
the thirty thousand pound bunker busters, those nuclear sites are destroyed.
So we've neutralized preemptively an enemy nation. We're not on
(02:45):
good diplomatic terms with Iran. They are an enemy nation
just because we're not engaged in active war with them.
We don't have diplomatic relations. They would attack as if
they could. They attack our allies, they attack our bases,
military establishments. I still think I remember right before the
twenty seventeen or twenty sixteen election, I remember the sailors
on their knees in the Gulf being held a gunpoint
(03:07):
by the Iranian navy. That infuriated me, and I think
that's one of the reasons why Trump won because remember,
go back to twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, what was one
of the number one issues. It was ISIS and we
were fighting them and we were unable to do anything
with respective ISIS. And Trump comes in there and Trump
eliminates them in what was it ten months.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
No, it was like thirty days or sixty days.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, I think I think the total operations lasted about
about ten months. But he eliminated it. And mind you,
when Obama was in power, Obama had allowed ISIS to
go from what he referred to as a JV team
up to thirty thousand members of that of that group
in thirty different countries. So we eliminated them, and that
(03:52):
was a good thing. And America First doesn't mean sitting
on your hands and letting your enemies create nuclear weapons.
It means striking preemptively. Would have to remember Trump was
having dinner with the president of China and his first
airmeny fired off fifty eight rockets at Syria. Sometimes you
have to do that as commander in chief. And I
(04:12):
stress to the people who support Donald Trump, if you
want to renounce your support for Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Do it.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
If you don't want to support him anymore, if you
don't trust him anymore, then do it. But I don't
like these fair weather quote unquote conservative influencers who every
time things get a little uneasy, every time it's not
all parades and rallies and Trump doing a dance and
something fun when the hard business of running a country,
(04:39):
of being president presents itself. They run for the hills
and go this is not what I voted for. I
have news for you guys. It's not all going to
be parades and rallies. They're going to be conflicts. They
are going to be threats. They're going to be issues
that we face on the world stage. And you have
to understand that Donald Trump's mandate, his job is to
(05:00):
clean up the mess that Obama, Biden, George W. Bush
Clinton the last forty years have left in its wake.
So I fully supported the limited strategic preemptive strikes against Iran,
and there's no war that's broken out. Iran did kind
of a half assed retaliation. They told us in advance,
(05:23):
like hey, we're going to fire on this base, make
sure no one's there. They fired a couple missiles, and
really I think it was for the Iatola to save
face Donald Trump dvance. You know, Marco Rubio. They're not
interested in regime change. No one's going into Iran. We're
not recreating the country in our own own image. You know,
even if we put Starbucks and McDonald's in the middle
of Tehran, they're not going to know what to do
(05:44):
with it. If there's going to be regime change in Iran.
It's got to come from the people.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
He didn't start a war, he ended a war.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Well, I think he prevented a war. I think, above
all things, I think he prevented a war. I think
that if Iran had nuclear capabilities, and foremost I don't
even want to speculate as to what if, maybe something
would happen, maybe something wouldn't happen. But it's like letting
a two year old run around the house with a knife.
You got to take it away from them because maybe
nothing happens, maybe you get lucky. You can't have a
medieval theocracy who loves to chant death to America have
(06:15):
nuclear weapons. We can't. Every president has said that. Obama
said that, Biden said that, Trump has said that. Trump's
been saying that since before he was president. We cannot
let Iran have a nuclear weapon. And if I ran
his nuclear capabilities, which they have, we have to get
in front of that. We're not starting a war. We're
not coming in there. We're not saying, hey, you have
to have an American style republic. If they don't want it,
(06:37):
they wouldn't know what to do with it. And we
have no interest in the Middle East other than energy production.
If they want to live in the Stone Age and
they want to throw rockets at each other, be my guest.
It doesn't affect my life one way or the other.
And I think for America, first, we can all agree
with that we're not there to change regimes. We have
no interest in doing that. The question is why are
(06:59):
there so much many conservatives who anytime things are uncertain,
you know, rallying if you're gonna be a Trump supporter.
And here's the thing, And nobody's saying, don't question what
he does. Nobody's saying, you know, to stand by him
when you think he's making a poor decision. We've we've
criticized Trump on the show plenty of times. Go ahead,
say what you want to say. But the people who
(07:19):
make their living I'm talking to the to the influencer crowd,
the people who make their living, who's whose dollars depend
on Trump support, how they run and abandon him every
time things get uncertain. I think this last week has
really exposed a lot of these people and what she's been,
(07:40):
she's been gone for. Like the Hodge twins Man I
used to I used to talk their their truck promo, Like, hey,
you know he enter to win a truck. I used
to send me that and I ue to do it
for them. But man, they they were big Trump supporters.
They completely turned on him. A lot of other people, Yeah,
a lot of other people who are just you know,
completely turned on him because he does one thing that
(08:02):
it's like, if it's not all fun and games, they
want nothing to do with it. And they have to
understand that this is not all fun and games. This
is a presidency and we're dealing with real world issues.
The reason why we're in this mess, if you really
want to boil it down to cause and effect, it's
the goddamn colonels in leather dog masks. It's the transgender
(08:23):
Secretary of whatever addressed like frigging Captain Crunch. You know,
on this world stage, it's the Secretary of State wearing
the face mask and the visor, and it's it's Joe
Biden getting lost on a stage. It's Joe Biden doing
things that don't project an image of strength, and we
are dealing with that where the world doesn't respect the
(08:47):
authority of America.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, I definitely respect to know.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Well, they have to now because the thing is that
I always use this example. Remember the scene in Scarface
where they threw the guy out of the hell they
hung on from the helicopter right in front of Tony Montana.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yuh huh.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Sometimes you have to do stuff like that. Sometimes you
have to show your enemy that you're not kidding. If
Donald Trump comes out there and say we can't let
Iran develop nuclear weapons, and they're like, haha, we develop
nuclear weapons, then not only have we lost the respect
and fear of Iran, but North Korea, a Syria, you
know other enemies. You know Russia. I don't think Russia
(09:27):
is an enemy or Rush is a threat to us,
but still we lose respect on the world stage of
other people that we need to be instilling fear into
because fears all they understand. So if Donald Trump says
you can't have nukes and they go haha, try me,
and he goes and he drops thirty thousand pound bombs
on them, they're going to think twice. I guarantee you
that that one night of limited airstrikes has paved the
(09:50):
way for peace for the foreseeable future. We are a
safer nation today because of that. It's like walking up
to the schoolyard bully and punching them in the nose
as hard as you can. And I'll bother you again.
That one strike protected you and protected countless others.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah, yeah, peace.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Now you know the tariffs and again you know, look,
we all felt the uncertainty of the tariffs. But the
stock market's higher than it's ever been. The S and
P five hundred is at an all time high. I
just paid a tariff right before the show. I guess.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I get stuff and resell it from China, and I
just paid a ninety three dollars a tariff here what
ninety three dollars?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Okay, well that's not too bad. I mean, look, hey,
you know what go I just came back from Washington,
d C. And you know, look at your city taxes,
Look at your hotel taxes, Look at all these things
they add on. How they you go to CBS, they
charge you for every plastic bag you use. So yeah, man,
liberal cities are so different. I was just in DC
for last week, and obviously live in South Florida. A
(10:51):
couple of things I've noticed about liberal cities. One thing,
every restaurant you go to, they ask you if you
have food allergies every restaurant, everywhere you go. I've never
been asked that quest question in Florida. So they asked
you about food allergies. On the tablets when you're purchasing something,
the tip options like go up to fifty percent.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And uh, when you go to CBS or Walgreens, ask
you how many how many bags are you using? It's
a different animal. But uh, you know the tariffs. The
tariffs worked. And that's the thing you got to understand
about Donald Trump and the reason I think he's having
a phenomenal second term. I really do. I really think
it's going beautifully. There were some growing pains certainly in
(11:30):
his first term, and we were very critical of what
he did wrong on this show. But I got to say,
you know, as objectively as possible, despite being a fan
of his, I think he's he's had a phenomenal first
six months in office. It's really going as well as
could possibly be expected.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Yeah, he's kicking ass. And the tariffs and the Gold
card and or the Trump Card. We're gonna kill income tacts.
It's gonna take a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
But you're you're you're more optimistic on that than I am.
I don't think they're going to kill income tax. I
think income tax is something we're going to have to
contend with, maybe an Act of Congress one day, but
I don't think that's going to happen. I think the
biggest takeaways from the first six months of Trump's second
term of one the border. You know, the border in
Trump's second term is like isis and his first term
(12:16):
a huge problem that virtually went away when Trump came
into office. The border, I mean, border crossings are down
to almost zero percent. It's like a negligible number. He
is doing what he said he would do. On immigration.
I think it's also just that, you know, talking about
postering and talking about firing off missiles to send a message.
(12:38):
Same thing with immigration. They know that people are going
to get debordered if they're here illegally. People are not
coming here anymore, and people are actually patrioting and going
back home. So you have on immigration, he gets a
solid A plus. The economy, inflation, the issues, the issues
that we were talking about two three years ago are
no longer in existence. At Jerom Powell.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
The political bullshit that he's doing not lower in the rates.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
He really should this should this should be a time
okay right now, as incomes arising, as inflation is coming down.
We really and also considering the fact that what's happening
in you know, Los Angeles as shithole. New York's about
to be an even bigger shit hole opening up red states.
I mean, realtors in Florida are salivating at the thought
of this potentially new mayor in New York City. They
(13:29):
really should be driving down interest rates because it's still
too expensive to refinance own properties. Or remember during COVID,
you know, property values plummeted. Now they've come back up,
so a lot of people are sitting on these homes
that are way overvalued, way more than people owe on them,
and they really don't have the ability to draw up
the equity because the interest rates are still too dam high.
I remember during COVID interest rates fell. I think I
(13:52):
refinanced just to bring the term down. It was like
two point nine percent, and I think my mortgage already
was like a three seven five. I have a five
percent mortgage right now. That's only because I refinanced during
COVID and I haven't. I haven't come back. But what's
what if I were to buy a home today, What
interest rate am I looking at?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
About?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Seven percent?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
What about the auto industry?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I mean it would blow up the economy, and god forbid,
they can't let Trump do that.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
It's totally political.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, I have I have a near perfect credit score,
and still when I go in to buy a car,
my interest rate's about, you know, eight or nine percent.
And so if you have, if you have mid to
low credit, I mean you're probably paying I think you
pay up to what fifteen sixteen, seventeen percent on a
car loan credit?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
And I got a car a year ago, and uh,
it's at eleven percent. And to refinance it, that are
like you got to put down eight thousand dollars And
I'm like, I'm not selling my bitcoin or gold or
silver to pay down this to get eight percent loan.
That's if I'm refinanced, it's like seventy eight percent. It's
it's not worth it.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So I'm what, you're at eleven percent on a car
of yes, car a year four months ago.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
The rates were higher then.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I remember back in twenty eleven. I remember I bought
a Toyota Camery and the intenders are twenty ten. I
bought a twenty eleven at the end of twenty ten,
so they were clearing out, you'll bringing in all the
new stock. And I think my interest rate was a
point nine percent back in, but like I missed the
day's like the two point nine percent APR three percent
and yeah, you know, even eight percent is not bad,
(15:23):
but considering what the what the average is right now.
But no, they need to bring those interest rates down.
They need to make cars affordable, houses affordable, because these
are markets that can move. And if the economy is
coming back and inflation is going down, you're not spending
five hundred dollars a week at the grocery store. People
have more money, more disposable income. Go out, buy that
new car, refinance the houser, or buy that new house.
(15:45):
You want to get the hell out of New York
and move to Florida, but you don't want to get
a seven percent mortgage exactly. How about the Supreme Court,
you know, the Supreme Court. I feel like one day
the liberals are like, oh, thank God for the Court.
They saved us, They saved us, and that is that
is the check and balance against the tyrant. The next
(16:05):
day it's like we should obliterate the Supreme Court. I
feel like that is just We're never going to be satisfied.
Half the country is always gonna hate that damn court.
But the lifetime appointment, man, I think I think we
got to do it with that. I think getting what
getting rid of lifetime appointments in any government position, to
be in a federal trial court or being on the
(16:26):
Supreme Court. But what's say you about the Supreme Court?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Well, I just like the fact that that one.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I can't remember the name of the black lady.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I couldn't read it. It was too long. She said Jackson.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Yeah she's Jackson. Yeah, she such a DEI higher. I mean,
I'm glad it's six to three. Uh So, no more
nationwide in junctions. But you know someone's gonna say, I
don't care what the Supreme Court said.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
It was Well, Biden did that with student loans. He said,
I don't care what the Court is gonna do. Democrats, ultimately,
I think if they ever I say, if they ever
get power again, don't I don't know if that's going
to happen in the foreseeable future. I think that party
is falling apart, and I think the Party of Joy
you know, from a year ago. And mind you that
Party of Joy kicked off a year ago, because it
(17:14):
was a year ago where Joe Biden had the disastrous
debate with Trump and then Harris came in and you know,
everyone was happy and everyone is a time of joy.
And now they've really come back to their true colors,
down to like twenty percent approval. That twenty percent they have. Man,
they're putting up barriers at the White House today because
they have a you know, protest the Iran War. First
of all, there is no Iran war. It's like they're
(17:35):
no Kings protests. There's no Kings, there's no Iran wark.
You're wasting your Saturday. But they're putting up these barricades.
And I just think the party has devolved into the
absolute fringe element, violent, vitriolic. We will do whatever it
takes to if we can't gain power, we're going to
create such a disruption that will make life miserable for you.
(17:59):
And they've lost so much of their middle and they've
lost so much of their center, their centrists, and they've
lost so much support. I mean, I'll tell you, like
people are talking vance Rubio for twenty twenty eight you know,
two three years ago, I would have said, hell, no,
DeSantis isn't really in the in the running for twenty
twenty eight. And I I would have loved to have
(18:22):
seen a Vance and DeSantis ticket because I really like
DeSantis and I was always upset with him for challenging Trump.
If Trump decided that he was not gonna run, if
he said in twenty twenty three, I'm just not running
for a second term, I think DeSantis would have been
the heir apparent. But I think taking a shot at
Trump when he saw Trump was vulnerable. Because Trump had
(18:43):
the indictments and everything come in his way, I don't
know if he can recover from that. And that's a
shame too, because he's he's so talented and he's he's
such a good governor. I mean, how did you see
twenty twenty eight shape it up? I know it's a
little early, but you know, we got to have long view,
like those Democrats do. I I mean we do.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I think Rubio has really surprised me in how classy
and just he's really surprised me. He's a class act.
And JD, I think is I think that's the ticket.
JD and Vice President Rubio.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
And then eight years later Rubio because they're both young.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Rubio's young, Rubio's like fifty three Dvance's forty one two.
Dvance has impressed me tremendously. Rubio has been the dark
horse and all this. Man I was never a big
fan of his. And when Trump, when Trump said Rubio
secretary of State, I'm like, oh, man, I don't know
how I feel about that, but he's really surprised me.
(19:37):
I would one hundred percent endorse advance Rubio ticket. I
would endorse advance DeSantis ticket. I mean, I think DeSantis
wants to be president. I think he's going to put
his name out there again. But I think that he's
you have to we don't have kings, we don't coorroinate.
Anyone can run any time they want, but you have
to understand the political reality of your base. And you
(19:59):
have to understand that the base is with Trump, and
if you take a shot at him, you're gonna lose
that base. And I think that was politically the wrong
move to make, to try to make an effort to
run in twenty twenty four. I hope he can rebound.
He's a great governor. I wonder if what his term
is up. If Trump is going to bring him into
the administration. I think Trump has a lot of influence
(20:20):
and has the power. He could certainly rehabilitate Desantus. I
think he could if he chooses to. And they have
a great relationship. I mean whatever political tensions they had
over you gotta understand Donald Trump. As as much as
he can go after someone and destroy them, he doesn't
hold grudges. I mean half the people that are on
his team are people he had incredible public rivalries with.
(20:43):
Dvance called him Hitler, Rubio and Jim had a terrible rivalry.
Ted Cruz and Trump had a terrible rivalry. And these
are all his supporters now. So Trump, as tough as
he is and as hard as he comes at you,
I don't think he holds grudges. It doesn't no, So
I think if yeah, I would love to see it.
(21:04):
And you know, when DeSantis is done as governor Flora,
which is gonna be in you know, a year and
a half, I'd love to see them come into the
Trump administration.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
How about the Everglades for the illegals, Alligator allet.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Alligator, alcatraz med Let me tell you, I live in
the Everglades. You walk out into my backyard there it is.
I have alligators on my lawn routinely. You are not
going to you are not going to escape. You are
not going to escape. Alligators are dinosaurs. They are terrifying.
(21:37):
You will never see them coming. When you're on land.
You can like clap your hands and they'll go away.
They're not terribly aggressive if you're at a distance on land.
Water is one hundred percent their domain and they just
think your food. So you know, they have that peripheral vision.
They're very lazy animals, but if they see something splashing
(21:58):
out of their periphery, they'll go get it. They're stronger
than you. They will drown you, they will kill you.
So if you're in a prison that's surrounded by an
alligator bote, you're going to stay there. But yeah, yeah,
you know, look, man, our country has been overrun by
illegal immigration for too long. We have to be a
(22:19):
sovereign nation.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
We have.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Every nation on this planet seems to have the right
to sovereignty accept us, and I just like to see.
I also not only do I like to see what's
going on in terms of the administration, I like that
the culture has shifted too, where even people who are
center left, center right, not hardcore conservative, appreciate and understand
(22:44):
that we need to stop illegal immigration. And I feel
like the woke era has kind of come to an end.
You have some holdovers, but I think by and large people,
you know, we've always said for years and years of
pendulum was going to come back. I really think culturally
it's come back. Yeah, it's incredible. So they're having a
protest today. I haven't seen anything yet. I know they're
(23:06):
putting up the barricades at the White House. What do
you think happens? I was looking at some you know,
the last time they had to erect barricades the White
House was in twenty twenty during the BLM protest, where
they actually made it onto the lawn and they were
getting into a fight with Secret Service. Remember they had
to evacuate Trump to the bunker.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I just I just see the left as having lost
their mind and having nothing to lose and being very
very dangerous. Maybe something will happen, maybe nothing will happen,
Maybe it'll fizzle out like this no King stuff. But
I just think they're a party running out of options
because even their protests aren't authentic. They're protesting things that
don't exist. You want to protest, protest something that actually exists,
(23:43):
and then they're making up these causes to be pissed off.
They need a Rodney King, you know, Carlin. I was
talking to Carlin Porsanko. I know she's been on the
show so many times, she's talked about it. She's like,
at one of these protests, they're just waiting for like
a Kent State, or they're waiting for like another George Floyd.
They want that martyr that's going to be the spark
that just ignites the powder. Keke. So I hope it
(24:06):
doesn't happen. I mean, we're already almost into July and
so far nothing. It's not like summer twenty twenty. But
we're seeing more and more of these protests. We're seeing
the organization. We saw the riots in la I just
think you have a completely fractured Democrat party. I think
you have a far left socialist movement. Carlin's been doing
(24:28):
a great job covering that and warning people. And I
think as Trump gains popularities at fifty six percent approval,
as he gains popularity, as people realize that his policies
are making their lives better. That twenty percent or less
contingent of far left radical activists is going to become
more and more dangerous.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Oh god, I didn't think of that.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Well, they have nothing to lose. If they can't gain power,
they're going to try to destroy the system.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah, I agree, So careful, keep your eyes open. I'm
not going to live. I'm not going downtown.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Nothing's happening. We had some I think we hade some
No King stuff at this somewhere in Florida, but it
didn't I mean, I don't even it didn't even make
a blip on the radar. And the big ones were
went DC and LA and things like that, and then
and again. It's so stupid. I mean, the real No
King's Day is coming up on Friday, July fourth, July fourth, Man,
(25:26):
So this is our last show, probably for a couple
of weeks. I am leaving on the fifth. I am
going over to Santa Beel for the fourth, so I'm
sure i'll see a lot of Trump flags out on
the sandbars. We do some fishing, hangout, and then go
on a much needed Viking River cruise. I went on
one ten years ago. It is the absolute way to travel.
But let me tell you this. I got to give
(25:48):
a shout out to a company called Hello Gov. H
E L l O g OV. So last week I
just by chance happened to be looking through some travel
documents for my upcoming trip and it says, you know,
make sure you have a valid passport. You have, my
passport's good through December. No, it has to be good
for six months after your travel. So I'm like, Holy Jesus.
(26:09):
So I realized that I'm traveling in thirteen days and
I need a new passport, so I can make an
appointment at the state Department and they'll have it to
me in six weeks. But so I found this company
called Hello Gov and the ten minute application. You fill
everything out, they give you a mailing label. You send
(26:30):
them passport photo application. They prepare it all for you
your passport. They overnight courierate to Pennsylvania to the passport office.
I did this on Tuesday. I got my passport yesterday
at noon.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Amazing. Three business days. Three Wow. Incredible. So don't again,
don't rely on the government. Private industry always takes precedent.
So thank you, Hello Gov. If you guys need passports.
Passport is anything. Don't go through the Department of State.
Use a private company such as Hello Go because they
have the ability to get it done. And it was
(27:07):
amazing and they update you the whole time. They send
me texts and email updates and it's just it really
like I for a couple of days, I thought I
was I was gonna lose my vacation. But I'm all,
good man, I'm going nice. So unless something happens. The
last thing I did last time, I was like, oh shit,
do I need to be vaccinated and ready of these
countries because I haven't been to I was in Iceland
last November, but I haven't been to like the actual
(27:28):
European continent in several years. But no, apparently the countries
I'm going to, you don't need any vaccination passports to
get in. That being said, any big plans for Fourth
of July.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
I think I'm gonna visit my mom in Florida.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
What about is she.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
North of West Pump, north of Stuart Jupiter? She go No,
north to Stuart, north to Ford Piers. Vero Beach, Vero Beach, Yes.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Vero Beach, Okay. Vero Beach is one of my favorite places.
I highly recommend Ocean Grill. Okay, go right right out
onto Ocean Drive and Ocean Grill. Great Teaki Bar, a
New York strip that will knock your socks off. Highly recommended. Okay,
fun fun, fun, like happy hour, then kind of go
(28:19):
to dinner kind of thing. My wife and I do
that all the time. That being said, guys, have a
happy fourth. We will see you in a couple of
weeks when we come back. It's always a pleasure. And
be well, God bless America.

Japermer co Grete Boom.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Welcome to Bob Erica America Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
My name is Welcome and my name is Eric Methini.
Thank you all for joining us on this beautiful Saturday.
Thank you very much. And this is our last Saturday
for at least a couple of weeks. I'm gonna be
gone next week at one to Europe for eight days. Nice.
I'm going to Basil, Switzerland, a number of cities in
France and Germany, and then ending up in Amsterdam.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
So we're gonna have a great time. So thank you
all for tuning in. So we'll probably be back at
the end of July. But hit a Patreon, patroon dot com,
slash bomb and Eric, everything you give helps show continued
to come to you, hopefully as long as we can.
And I'll tell you one thing that's not going to
keep coming, and that's a war, a war that never
happened exactly. Well yeah, well, okay, so we kind of
(01:15):
had an interesting week in the in the MAGA movement.
Obviously early in the week late a lot of thing.
It was late last weekend. We didn't have a show
last Saturday, but in the last week we dropped bombs
on Iranian nuclear sites and MAGA quickly went into a panic.
It reminded me of April when the tariffs came out
(01:35):
and we saw immediately your four oh one case. We're
taking a little hit. People were losing their minds. Trump
coined the phrase panic in at that point, which I
thought was you know, it was well meaning, but I
I have I take a different perspective because I'm fully
in the camp of I don't want FOURGN wars, and
I think you are. I think I think most of
us are. We've lived most of our life engaged or
(01:59):
entrenched in some kind of conflict, and here we are.
We have the first president now to start any new wars.
But we do have an aggressive medieval theocracy in the
Middle East whose favorite catchphrase is death to America, and
they're developing nuclear weapons. Now Obama, let him do it.
Obomba infect paid for him. Joe Biden, nobody, Joe Biden
(02:22):
didn't do anything. No one was afraid of Joe Biden,
so that's kind of a non issue. So Trump comes
back and he eliminates their ability to create nuclear weapons.
He drops bombs on a couple of their sites. They're destroyed,
the thirty thousand pound bunker busters, those nuclear sites are destroyed.
So we've neutralized preemptively an enemy nation. We're not on
(02:45):
good diplomatic terms with Iran. They are an enemy nation
just because we're not engaged in active war with them.
We don't have diplomatic relations. They would attack as if
they could. They attack our allies, they attack our bases,
military establishments. I still think I remember right before the
twenty seventeen or twenty sixteen election, I remember the sailors
on their knees in the Gulf being held a gunpoint
(03:07):
by the Iranian navy. That infuriated me, and I think
that's one of the reasons why Trump won because remember,
go back to twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, what was one
of the number one issues. It was ISIS and we
were fighting them and we were unable to do anything
with respective ISIS. And Trump comes in there and Trump
eliminates them in what was it ten months.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
No, it was like thirty days or sixty days.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, I think I think the total operations lasted about
about ten months. But he eliminated it. And mind you,
when Obama was in power, Obama had allowed ISIS to
go from what he referred to as a JV team
up to thirty thousand members of that of that group
in thirty different countries. So we eliminated them, and that
(03:52):
was a good thing. And America First doesn't mean sitting
on your hands and letting your enemies create nuclear weapons.
It means striking preemptively. Would have to remember Trump was
having dinner with the president of China and his first
airmeny fired off fifty eight rockets at Syria. Sometimes you
have to do that as commander in chief. And I
(04:12):
stress to the people who support Donald Trump, if you
want to renounce your support for Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Do it.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
If you don't want to support him anymore, if you
don't trust him anymore, then do it. But I don't
like these fair weather quote unquote conservative influencers who every
time things get a little uneasy, every time it's not
all parades and rallies and Trump doing a dance and
something fun when the hard business of running a country,
(04:39):
of being president presents itself. They run for the hills
and go this is not what I voted for. I
have news for you guys. It's not all going to
be parades and rallies. They're going to be conflicts. They
are going to be threats. They're going to be issues
that we face on the world stage. And you have
to understand that Donald Trump's mandate, his job is to
(05:00):
clean up the mess that Obama, Biden, George W. Bush
Clinton the last forty years have left in its wake.
So I fully supported the limited strategic preemptive strikes against Iran,
and there's no war that's broken out. Iran did kind
of a half assed retaliation. They told us in advance,
(05:23):
like hey, we're going to fire on this base, make
sure no one's there. They fired a couple missiles, and
really I think it was for the Iatola to save
face Donald Trump dvance. You know, Marco Rubio. They're not
interested in regime change. No one's going into Iran. We're
not recreating the country in our own own image. You know,
even if we put Starbucks and McDonald's in the middle
of Tehran, they're not going to know what to do
(05:44):
with it. If there's going to be regime change in Iran.
It's got to come from the people.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
He didn't start a war, he ended a war.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Well, I think he prevented a war. I think, above
all things, I think he prevented a war. I think
that if Iran had nuclear capabilities, and foremost I don't
even want to speculate as to what if, maybe something
would happen, maybe something wouldn't happen. But it's like letting
a two year old run around the house with a knife.
You got to take it away from them because maybe
nothing happens, maybe you get lucky. You can't have a
medieval theocracy who loves to chant death to America have
(06:15):
nuclear weapons. We can't. Every president has said that. Obama
said that, Biden said that, Trump has said that. Trump's
been saying that since before he was president. We cannot
let Iran have a nuclear weapon. And if I ran
his nuclear capabilities, which they have, we have to get
in front of that. We're not starting a war. We're
not coming in there. We're not saying, hey, you have
to have an American style republic. If they don't want it,
(06:37):
they wouldn't know what to do with it. And we
have no interest in the Middle East other than energy production.
If they want to live in the Stone Age and
they want to throw rockets at each other, be my guest.
It doesn't affect my life one way or the other.
And I think for America, first, we can all agree
with that we're not there to change regimes. We have
no interest in doing that. The question is why are
(06:59):
there so much many conservatives who anytime things are uncertain,
you know, rallying if you're gonna be a Trump supporter.
And here's the thing, And nobody's saying, don't question what
he does. Nobody's saying, you know, to stand by him
when you think he's making a poor decision. We've we've
criticized Trump on the show plenty of times. Go ahead,
say what you want to say. But the people who
(07:19):
make their living I'm talking to the to the influencer crowd,
the people who make their living, who's whose dollars depend
on Trump support, how they run and abandon him every
time things get uncertain. I think this last week has
really exposed a lot of these people and what she's been,
(07:40):
she's been gone for. Like the Hodge twins Man I
used to I used to talk their their truck promo, Like, hey,
you know he enter to win a truck. I used
to send me that and I ue to do it
for them. But man, they they were big Trump supporters.
They completely turned on him. A lot of other people, Yeah,
a lot of other people who are just you know,
completely turned on him because he does one thing that
(08:02):
it's like, if it's not all fun and games, they
want nothing to do with it. And they have to
understand that this is not all fun and games. This
is a presidency and we're dealing with real world issues.
The reason why we're in this mess, if you really
want to boil it down to cause and effect, it's
the goddamn colonels in leather dog masks. It's the transgender
(08:23):
Secretary of whatever addressed like frigging Captain Crunch. You know,
on this world stage, it's the Secretary of State wearing
the face mask and the visor, and it's it's Joe
Biden getting lost on a stage. It's Joe Biden doing
things that don't project an image of strength, and we
are dealing with that where the world doesn't respect the
(08:47):
authority of America.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, I definitely respect to know.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Well, they have to now because the thing is that
I always use this example. Remember the scene in Scarface
where they threw the guy out of the hell they
hung on from the helicopter right in front of Tony Montana.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yuh huh.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Sometimes you have to do stuff like that. Sometimes you
have to show your enemy that you're not kidding. If
Donald Trump comes out there and say we can't let
Iran develop nuclear weapons, and they're like, haha, we develop
nuclear weapons, then not only have we lost the respect
and fear of Iran, but North Korea, a Syria, you
know other enemies. You know Russia. I don't think Russia
(09:27):
is an enemy or Rush is a threat to us,
but still we lose respect on the world stage of
other people that we need to be instilling fear into
because fears all they understand. So if Donald Trump says
you can't have nukes and they go haha, try me,
and he goes and he drops thirty thousand pound bombs
on them, they're going to think twice. I guarantee you
that that one night of limited airstrikes has paved the
(09:50):
way for peace for the foreseeable future. We are a
safer nation today because of that. It's like walking up
to the schoolyard bully and punching them in the nose
as hard as you can. And I'll bother you again.
That one strike protected you and protected countless others.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah, yeah, peace.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Now you know the tariffs and again you know, look,
we all felt the uncertainty of the tariffs. But the
stock market's higher than it's ever been. The S and
P five hundred is at an all time high. I
just paid a tariff right before the show. I guess.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I get stuff and resell it from China, and I
just paid a ninety three dollars a tariff here what
ninety three dollars?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Okay, well that's not too bad. I mean, look, hey,
you know what go I just came back from Washington,
d C. And you know, look at your city taxes,
Look at your hotel taxes, Look at all these things
they add on. How they you go to CBS, they
charge you for every plastic bag you use. So yeah, man,
liberal cities are so different. I was just in DC
for last week, and obviously live in South Florida. A
(10:51):
couple of things I've noticed about liberal cities. One thing,
every restaurant you go to, they ask you if you
have food allergies every restaurant, everywhere you go. I've never
been asked that quest question in Florida. So they asked
you about food allergies. On the tablets when you're purchasing something,
the tip options like go up to fifty percent.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And uh, when you go to CBS or Walgreens, ask
you how many how many bags are you using? It's
a different animal. But uh, you know the tariffs. The
tariffs worked. And that's the thing you got to understand
about Donald Trump and the reason I think he's having
a phenomenal second term. I really do. I really think
it's going beautifully. There were some growing pains certainly in
(11:30):
his first term, and we were very critical of what
he did wrong on this show. But I got to say,
you know, as objectively as possible, despite being a fan
of his, I think he's he's had a phenomenal first
six months in office. It's really going as well as
could possibly be expected.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Yeah, he's kicking ass. And the tariffs and the Gold
card and or the Trump Card. We're gonna kill income tacts.
It's gonna take a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
But you're you're you're more optimistic on that than I am.
I don't think they're going to kill income tax. I
think income tax is something we're going to have to
contend with, maybe an Act of Congress one day, but
I don't think that's going to happen. I think the
biggest takeaways from the first six months of Trump's second
term of one the border. You know, the border in
Trump's second term is like isis and his first term
(12:16):
a huge problem that virtually went away when Trump came
into office. The border, I mean, border crossings are down
to almost zero percent. It's like a negligible number. He
is doing what he said he would do. On immigration.
I think it's also just that, you know, talking about
postering and talking about firing off missiles to send a message.
(12:38):
Same thing with immigration. They know that people are going
to get debordered if they're here illegally. People are not
coming here anymore, and people are actually patrioting and going
back home. So you have on immigration, he gets a
solid A plus. The economy, inflation, the issues, the issues
that we were talking about two three years ago are
no longer in existence. At Jerom Powell.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
The political bullshit that he's doing not lower in the rates.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
He really should this should this should be a time
okay right now, as incomes arising, as inflation is coming down.
We really and also considering the fact that what's happening
in you know, Los Angeles as shithole. New York's about
to be an even bigger shit hole opening up red states.
I mean, realtors in Florida are salivating at the thought
of this potentially new mayor in New York City. They
(13:29):
really should be driving down interest rates because it's still
too expensive to refinance own properties. Or remember during COVID,
you know, property values plummeted. Now they've come back up,
so a lot of people are sitting on these homes
that are way overvalued, way more than people owe on them,
and they really don't have the ability to draw up
the equity because the interest rates are still too dam high.
I remember during COVID interest rates fell. I think I
(13:52):
refinanced just to bring the term down. It was like
two point nine percent, and I think my mortgage already
was like a three seven five. I have a five
percent mortgage right now. That's only because I refinanced during
COVID and I haven't. I haven't come back. But what's
what if I were to buy a home today, What
interest rate am I looking at?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
About?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Seven percent?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
What about the auto industry?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I mean it would blow up the economy, and god forbid,
they can't let Trump do that.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
It's totally political.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, I have I have a near perfect credit score,
and still when I go in to buy a car,
my interest rate's about, you know, eight or nine percent.
And so if you have, if you have mid to
low credit, I mean you're probably paying I think you
pay up to what fifteen sixteen, seventeen percent on a
car loan credit?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
And I got a car a year ago, and uh,
it's at eleven percent. And to refinance it, that are
like you got to put down eight thousand dollars And
I'm like, I'm not selling my bitcoin or gold or
silver to pay down this to get eight percent loan.
That's if I'm refinanced, it's like seventy eight percent. It's
it's not worth it.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So I'm what, you're at eleven percent on a car
of yes, car a year four months ago.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
The rates were higher then.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I remember back in twenty eleven. I remember I bought
a Toyota Camery and the intenders are twenty ten. I
bought a twenty eleven at the end of twenty ten,
so they were clearing out, you'll bringing in all the
new stock. And I think my interest rate was a
point nine percent back in, but like I missed the
day's like the two point nine percent APR three percent
and yeah, you know, even eight percent is not bad,
(15:23):
but considering what the what the average is right now.
But no, they need to bring those interest rates down.
They need to make cars affordable, houses affordable, because these
are markets that can move. And if the economy is
coming back and inflation is going down, you're not spending
five hundred dollars a week at the grocery store. People
have more money, more disposable income. Go out, buy that
new car, refinance the houser, or buy that new house.
(15:45):
You want to get the hell out of New York
and move to Florida, but you don't want to get
a seven percent mortgage exactly. How about the Supreme Court,
you know, the Supreme Court. I feel like one day
the liberals are like, oh, thank God for the Court.
They saved us, They saved us, and that is that
is the check and balance against the tyrant. The next
(16:05):
day it's like we should obliterate the Supreme Court. I
feel like that is just We're never going to be satisfied.
Half the country is always gonna hate that damn court.
But the lifetime appointment, man, I think I think we
got to do it with that. I think getting what
getting rid of lifetime appointments in any government position, to
be in a federal trial court or being on the
(16:26):
Supreme Court. But what's say you about the Supreme Court?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Well, I just like the fact that that one.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I can't remember the name of the black lady.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I couldn't read it. It was too long. She said Jackson.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Yeah she's Jackson. Yeah, she such a DEI higher. I mean,
I'm glad it's six to three. Uh So, no more
nationwide in junctions. But you know someone's gonna say, I
don't care what the Supreme Court said.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
It was Well, Biden did that with student loans. He said,
I don't care what the Court is gonna do. Democrats, ultimately,
I think if they ever I say, if they ever
get power again, don't I don't know if that's going
to happen in the foreseeable future. I think that party
is falling apart, and I think the Party of Joy
you know, from a year ago. And mind you that
Party of Joy kicked off a year ago, because it
(17:14):
was a year ago where Joe Biden had the disastrous
debate with Trump and then Harris came in and you know,
everyone was happy and everyone is a time of joy.
And now they've really come back to their true colors,
down to like twenty percent approval. That twenty percent they have. Man,
they're putting up barriers at the White House today because
they have a you know, protest the Iran War. First
of all, there is no Iran war. It's like they're
(17:35):
no Kings protests. There's no Kings, there's no Iran wark.
You're wasting your Saturday. But they're putting up these barricades.
And I just think the party has devolved into the
absolute fringe element, violent, vitriolic. We will do whatever it
takes to if we can't gain power, we're going to
create such a disruption that will make life miserable for you.
(17:59):
And they've lost so much of their middle and they've
lost so much of their center, their centrists, and they've
lost so much support. I mean, I'll tell you, like
people are talking vance Rubio for twenty twenty eight you know,
two three years ago, I would have said, hell, no,
DeSantis isn't really in the in the running for twenty
twenty eight. And I I would have loved to have
(18:22):
seen a Vance and DeSantis ticket because I really like
DeSantis and I was always upset with him for challenging Trump.
If Trump decided that he was not gonna run, if
he said in twenty twenty three, I'm just not running
for a second term, I think DeSantis would have been
the heir apparent. But I think taking a shot at
Trump when he saw Trump was vulnerable. Because Trump had
(18:43):
the indictments and everything come in his way, I don't
know if he can recover from that. And that's a
shame too, because he's he's so talented and he's he's
such a good governor. I mean, how did you see
twenty twenty eight shape it up? I know it's a
little early, but you know, we got to have long view,
like those Democrats do. I I mean we do.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I think Rubio has really surprised me in how classy
and just he's really surprised me. He's a class act.
And JD, I think is I think that's the ticket.
JD and Vice President Rubio.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
And then eight years later Rubio because they're both young.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Rubio's young, Rubio's like fifty three Dvance's forty one two.
Dvance has impressed me tremendously. Rubio has been the dark
horse and all this. Man I was never a big
fan of his. And when Trump, when Trump said Rubio
secretary of State, I'm like, oh, man, I don't know
how I feel about that, but he's really surprised me.
(19:37):
I would one hundred percent endorse advance Rubio ticket. I
would endorse advance DeSantis ticket. I mean, I think DeSantis
wants to be president. I think he's going to put
his name out there again. But I think that he's
you have to we don't have kings, we don't coorroinate.
Anyone can run any time they want, but you have
to understand the political reality of your base. And you
(19:59):
have to understand that the base is with Trump, and
if you take a shot at him, you're gonna lose
that base. And I think that was politically the wrong
move to make, to try to make an effort to
run in twenty twenty four. I hope he can rebound.
He's a great governor. I wonder if what his term
is up. If Trump is going to bring him into
the administration. I think Trump has a lot of influence
(20:20):
and has the power. He could certainly rehabilitate Desantus. I
think he could if he chooses to. And they have
a great relationship. I mean whatever political tensions they had
over you gotta understand Donald Trump. As as much as
he can go after someone and destroy them, he doesn't
hold grudges. I mean half the people that are on
his team are people he had incredible public rivalries with.
(20:43):
Dvance called him Hitler, Rubio and Jim had a terrible rivalry.
Ted Cruz and Trump had a terrible rivalry. And these
are all his supporters now. So Trump, as tough as
he is and as hard as he comes at you,
I don't think he holds grudges. It doesn't no, So
I think if yeah, I would love to see it.
(21:04):
And you know, when DeSantis is done as governor Flora,
which is gonna be in you know, a year and
a half, I'd love to see them come into the
Trump administration.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
How about the Everglades for the illegals, Alligator allet.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Alligator, alcatraz med Let me tell you, I live in
the Everglades. You walk out into my backyard there it is.
I have alligators on my lawn routinely. You are not
going to you are not going to escape. You are
not going to escape. Alligators are dinosaurs. They are terrifying.
(21:37):
You will never see them coming. When you're on land.
You can like clap your hands and they'll go away.
They're not terribly aggressive if you're at a distance on land.
Water is one hundred percent their domain and they just
think your food. So you know, they have that peripheral vision.
They're very lazy animals, but if they see something splashing
(21:58):
out of their periphery, they'll go get it. They're stronger
than you. They will drown you, they will kill you.
So if you're in a prison that's surrounded by an
alligator bote, you're going to stay there. But yeah, yeah,
you know, look, man, our country has been overrun by
illegal immigration for too long. We have to be a
(22:19):
sovereign nation.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
We have.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Every nation on this planet seems to have the right
to sovereignty accept us, and I just like to see.
I also not only do I like to see what's
going on in terms of the administration, I like that
the culture has shifted too, where even people who are
center left, center right, not hardcore conservative, appreciate and understand
(22:44):
that we need to stop illegal immigration. And I feel
like the woke era has kind of come to an end.
You have some holdovers, but I think by and large people,
you know, we've always said for years and years of
pendulum was going to come back. I really think culturally
it's come back. Yeah, it's incredible. So they're having a
protest today. I haven't seen anything yet. I know they're
(23:06):
putting up the barricades at the White House. What do
you think happens? I was looking at some you know,
the last time they had to erect barricades the White
House was in twenty twenty during the BLM protest, where
they actually made it onto the lawn and they were
getting into a fight with Secret Service. Remember they had
to evacuate Trump to the bunker.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I just I just see the left as having lost
their mind and having nothing to lose and being very
very dangerous. Maybe something will happen, maybe nothing will happen,
Maybe it'll fizzle out like this no King stuff. But
I just think they're a party running out of options
because even their protests aren't authentic. They're protesting things that
don't exist. You want to protest, protest something that actually exists,
(23:43):
and then they're making up these causes to be pissed off.
They need a Rodney King, you know, Carlin. I was
talking to Carlin Porsanko. I know she's been on the
show so many times, she's talked about it. She's like,
at one of these protests, they're just waiting for like
a Kent State, or they're waiting for like another George Floyd.
They want that martyr that's going to be the spark
that just ignites the powder. Keke. So I hope it
(24:06):
doesn't happen. I mean, we're already almost into July and
so far nothing. It's not like summer twenty twenty. But
we're seeing more and more of these protests. We're seeing
the organization. We saw the riots in la I just
think you have a completely fractured Democrat party. I think
you have a far left socialist movement. Carlin's been doing
(24:28):
a great job covering that and warning people. And I
think as Trump gains popularities at fifty six percent approval,
as he gains popularity, as people realize that his policies
are making their lives better. That twenty percent or less
contingent of far left radical activists is going to become
more and more dangerous.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Oh god, I didn't think of that.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Well, they have nothing to lose. If they can't gain power,
they're going to try to destroy the system.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah, I agree, So careful, keep your eyes open. I'm
not going to live. I'm not going downtown.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Nothing's happening. We had some I think we hade some
No King stuff at this somewhere in Florida, but it
didn't I mean, I don't even it didn't even make
a blip on the radar. And the big ones were
went DC and LA and things like that, and then
and again. It's so stupid. I mean, the real No
King's Day is coming up on Friday, July fourth, July fourth, Man,
(25:26):
So this is our last show, probably for a couple
of weeks. I am leaving on the fifth. I am
going over to Santa Beel for the fourth, so I'm
sure i'll see a lot of Trump flags out on
the sandbars. We do some fishing, hangout, and then go
on a much needed Viking River cruise. I went on
one ten years ago. It is the absolute way to travel.
But let me tell you this. I got to give
(25:48):
a shout out to a company called Hello Gov. H
E L l O g OV. So last week I
just by chance happened to be looking through some travel
documents for my upcoming trip and it says, you know,
make sure you have a valid passport. You have, my
passport's good through December. No, it has to be good
for six months after your travel. So I'm like, Holy Jesus.
(26:09):
So I realized that I'm traveling in thirteen days and
I need a new passport, so I can make an
appointment at the state Department and they'll have it to
me in six weeks. But so I found this company
called Hello Gov and the ten minute application. You fill
everything out, they give you a mailing label. You send
(26:30):
them passport photo application. They prepare it all for you
your passport. They overnight courierate to Pennsylvania to the passport office.
I did this on Tuesday. I got my passport yesterday
at noon.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Amazing. Three business days. Three Wow. Incredible. So don't again,
don't rely on the government. Private industry always takes precedent.
So thank you, Hello Gov. If you guys need passports.
Passport is anything. Don't go through the Department of State.
Use a private company such as Hello Go because they
have the ability to get it done. And it was
(27:07):
amazing and they update you the whole time. They send
me texts and email updates and it's just it really
like I for a couple of days, I thought I
was I was gonna lose my vacation. But I'm all,
good man, I'm going nice. So unless something happens. The
last thing I did last time, I was like, oh shit,
do I need to be vaccinated and ready of these
countries because I haven't been to I was in Iceland
last November, but I haven't been to like the actual
(27:28):
European continent in several years. But no, apparently the countries
I'm going to, you don't need any vaccination passports to
get in. That being said, any big plans for Fourth
of July.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
I think I'm gonna visit my mom in Florida.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
What about is she.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
North of West Pump, north of Stuart Jupiter? She go No,
north to Stuart, north to Ford Piers. Vero Beach, Vero Beach, Yes.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Vero Beach, Okay. Vero Beach is one of my favorite places.
I highly recommend Ocean Grill. Okay, go right right out
onto Ocean Drive and Ocean Grill. Great Teaki Bar, a
New York strip that will knock your socks off. Highly recommended. Okay,
fun fun, fun, like happy hour, then kind of go
(28:19):
to dinner kind of thing. My wife and I do
that all the time. That being said, guys, have a
happy fourth. We will see you in a couple of
weeks when we come back. It's always a pleasure. And
be well, God bless America.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah, keep America. You keep America.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
We'll keep ammeric can gry.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Keep them America.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
