Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello, I'm you happy people.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Neil Smith and old Buck Buddy.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
Are you hearing Neil?

Speaker 4 (00:08):
Neil? I miss you, man Umnies, I have a question.
We respect for me.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Down Missy breaking a major story, Chris, Congratulations a.

Speaker 5 (00:18):
Single scour podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Did you guys see the polling last week? The Democrat
Socialist Party has a minus fifty five approval rating. You
heard that right, folks. The biased press is out there
saying there's a blue wave coming to the United States
because of the strength of the Democrats Socialist Party. Everybody
wants to be a socialist to get everybody's missing the

(01:04):
days of high prices and inflation and Beijing Biden giving
away the store and open borders. That's what we're told.
But when you actually ask the American people, as Quinnipiac did,
what's your opinion of the Democrats Socialist Party? Only eighteen
percent said they approved of what the Democrats are doing. Folks.

(01:25):
I've long said that our population is burdened with a
cancer that's ran around twenty percent. Twenty percent of the
American people that hate this country and want to see
it fall, leftists, Marxists, anti American coops, freaks and nuts,
and it turns out that the Democrats know how unpopular
they are. By the way, eighteen percent approve, the rest disapprove,

(01:48):
hence the minus fifty five approval rating for the Democrats.
I think it was seventy three percent disapprove. Just other
people don't know or don't care to comment. So this,
you guys know this guy Seth Moulton, he's a Democrat socialist,
and when confronted with these poll numbers from this guy,

(02:12):
Moran Moran, sorry Moran, Terry Moran, who was fired from
ABC fake news because he's a fake journalist, and he
let the quiet part slip out loud that he doesn't
like Republicans and doesn't like Trump, and YadA, YadA, YadA. Anyway,
so he was talking, Terry Moran was with Seth Moulton,

(02:33):
and Seth had to come clean and probably the only
Democrat I've heard actually admit what the Democrats are all
about and what they did to us.

Speaker 6 (02:44):
And that's the way a lot of Americans feel about
our party, that we're just out of touch and can't
be trusted.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
And let's look at some examples.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
You know, in the Biden administration, a lot of Democrats
went around saying immigration isn't a problem. There's nothing to
see here. Reality, it's that immigration was a problem. Even
in northern cities like up in Massachusetts.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Illegal immigration was the problem, Congressman, illegal immigration not it. Well,
we do have an immigration problem. It's because guys like
you haven't done any work for a living for the
last fifty or sixty years to modernize and make sure
our national security is adhere to. When you're modernizing the
immigration system, so we get people that come into this
country with merit and we are going to contribute to

(03:26):
the fabric of this country. We don't need to import
dependence on government, which is what you Democrats have been doing.
So we need immigration reform, and we need illegal immigration reform.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
Which usually don't see the effects of the problems and
challenges at the southern border. Now, now this is more
Republican's fault than Democrats. But when Democrats don't even acknowledge
the problem, that it's hard to be trusted.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Okay, that's just an out and out lie. President Trump
has secured the border. Illegal immigration is sloan to a trickle,
and I'm sorry, Seth Molton is not the Republican's fault.
Fact that you Democrats ignored the rule of law is
all your fault. It's all your fault. Seth Moulton, that
three hundred and twenty thousand illegal alien children were delivered

(04:09):
in sex slavery. You didn't have the stones or the
conscience to tell your own political party to stop it.
That you were going to that you and other Democrats,
you didn't care about children being delivered into sex slavery
into the United States because you're a bunch of sickos.
And it was all well and good as long as Beijing.

(04:30):
Biden and his regime were going to take the blame
for it. But now that your Democrats are now getting
the righteous blame because you financed it, you support it.
You didn't speak out against it, by the way, some
Republicans did the very same thing.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
And then of course there was inflation.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
You know, rather than have an agenda on affordability like
you see from Mondamie Sparrow and Spamberger and Cheryl, I mean,
Biden administration said hey, don't worry about it. It's TRANSI
and it's going to go away.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Oh yeah, Mandanni has a plan soak the rich. Yeah,
just tax the rich up the ying Yang, which, by
the way, folks, it's then the rich is going to
go away, and then guess who's he's going to be left?
Attacks you. Everybody's gonna leave New York as they should.
There's a mass exitus happening out of New York as
you and I are speaking. Nobody wants to be a
part of a Marxist controlled territory. So they're all leaving

(05:16):
and with good reason, with good reason. And whoever's left behind,
where is Mondani gonna get his money? He's gonna get
it from you folks stupid enough to stay in New.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
York, you know.

Speaker 6 (05:27):
And then and then what about and then what about
the kind of icing on the cake, which is there's
nothing to see here.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Everything is totally fine with old Joe.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, Beijing Biden dementiare ridden Beijing Biden. So right, So so, folks,
I guess that we should say kudos to one Democrat
coming clean about the bs that they rammed down our
throats and all the harm they did to us just
to protect their own political asses. I guess we should
be grateful for that. We could also be grateful for

(05:59):
having an attorney general in the state of Texas who
actually gives a damn about us. There is a consumer
warning that the Ken Paxton is putting out, folks, a
consumer warning in particular, a few folks, if you have
bought these TVs or are going to buy these TVs,
you might want to think twice. The Attorney General's office
is saying he's putting out a warning about the CCP

(06:21):
aligned smart TVs that are spying on our people. He said,
I'd urge Texans shopping for Christmas to avoid purchasing a
television that allows big tech to illegally collect your data.
And he names the names, Folks, I'll read the statement
from the Attorney General. This is dated December nineteenth, Folks,
the Attorney General Ken Paxton issuing a consumer alert, both

(06:44):
warning Texans about the dangers of smart TVs spying on them,
as well as providing general guidance to how to turn
off the invasive technology. Earlier this week, Ken Paxton sued
five major TV companies, including some with ties to the
Communist Party of China, for spying on Texans by using
automated content recognition ACR technology. The companies sued were Sony, Samsung,

(07:08):
LG High Sense, and TCL Technology Group, Tourney, General Paston
has already secured a tro temporary restraining order against High
Sense that stops the company from collecting, using, selling, sharing, disclosing,
or transferring your data. Thank you, Ken Paxton. Folks, just
in case that's on your Christmas list, I want to

(07:29):
make sure you have that. Something else I wanted to
address you. Guys may have heard we drop some bombs
in Syria on ISIS. That's okay, that's okay the United States,
and you're probably hearing some Democrats, Oh it's war warmoger, warmonger. Right,
we have the right to retaliate when somebody kills our

(07:51):
service members. We have the right to retaliate, and we
don't risk going to war when we retaliate. And it
was an overwhelming response. Earlier today, says the Secretary of War.
US Forces commenced Operation Hawkeye Strike in Syria to eliminate
ISIS fighter's infrastructure and weaponsites and direct response to the
attack on US forces that occurred on December thirteenth in Palmyra, Syria.

(08:15):
This is not the beginning of a war. It is
a declaration of vengeance. The United States of America, under
President Trump's leadership, will never hesitate and never relent to
defend our people. As we said directly following the savage attack,
if you target Americans anywhere in the world, you will
spend the rest of your brief, anxious life knowing the
United States will hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you.

(08:38):
Today we hunted and we killed our enemies, lots of them,
and we will continue. And this is the way, folks,
This is the way to all of you jihadis to
all of you communists out there, if you take an
American life, my view is we will visit upon you
one thousandfold for every American life you pay with a

(08:59):
thousand That's my view, and I believe the Secretary of
War has that view as well. Then there's this I
said in the Show Behind the Show, in the first
podcast offering of Christmas Week. Keep an eye on Georgia, folks.
Keep an eye on what's going on in Georgia. The

(09:20):
wheels are coming off down there, and the fake Republicans
and the leftists who conspired to turn that state illegitimately blue.
Now it's time to pay the piper. And I believe
the Trump administration is very serious. The DOJ after revelations
of three hundred and fifteen thousand illegal ballots counted in

(09:43):
Fulton County, Georgia. The Trump administration is saying, Okay, that's
no bueno. And then here's Harmy Dylon. She is in
the Attorney General's Office, the Civil Rights Division. She just
sued four jurisdictions DC, Illinois, Wisconsin, and did Georgia. Here's
what she had to say. Hi, I'm here with.

Speaker 7 (10:04):
An important update on our election integrity litigation here in
the Civil Rights Division at the DOJ. Happy to report that,
as promised today, we sued four additional jurisdictions that have
refused to comply with our legal requests under federal election laws,
and they include Georgia, the District of Columbia, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

(10:27):
We also got voluntary compliance from three additional jurisdictions today,
bringing the total to ten states that are voluntarily complying
with our requests to share their voter data so that
we can help those jurisdictions and all states ensure that
only American citizens are voting only one time in our

(10:47):
federal elections every election cycle and rest assured. Even as
people are getting ready to pack up for Christmas and
go visit their family and friends, We are not going
to rest here at the DOJ. We're going to continue
this work and ensure that we either get compliance from
every jurisdiction or unfortunately, we sue them. So I'm here

(11:08):
to make sure that we make our federal elections great
again and that every citizen has confidence in them. And
that's the commitment of this Department of Justice.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Wow, Harmat Dylan, folks, thank you, thank you, Harmea Dylan.

Speaker 8 (11:22):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
What a great member of the Attorney General's Office, isn't
she Folks, isn't she a fantant? I mean, talk about
somebody who is relentlessly working and competently working. I can't
say enough good things about about one of the high
profile members of the Department of Justice. Harmeat Dylan, great

(11:45):
job as always. All right, folks, are something else I
want to do. Get on your radar screen as we're
coming towards the end of the year. There was a
there was a court case that and a policy change instead,
the Trump administration is basically allowing for the suing of

(12:06):
racial discrimination against whites. Of course, as you know, the
most discriminated person in America, the most discriminated against person
in America is the white Christian male, And there were
a lot of data coming up, a lot of stories,
a lot of op eds coming out about how the
diversity inclusion, equity BS, the cultural Marxist agenda was actually

(12:30):
inspiring companies to not hire. There's a survey out there
saying one in six companies were openly claiming they would
not hire white people even if they were qualified. Discriminating
against somebody's skin color, folks, is racist and it's illegal.

(12:51):
And because of this change there there is an expectation
that there are going to be a lot of white
folks out there who were unfairly denied employment, unfairly just
ccriminated against by the government by their jobs. And because
everybody was getting into this woke thing and everybody thought, oh,
I got to be woke, got to be woke, I'm
going to be protected. No, you know what woke is,
whether it's you could be woke, as long as it

(13:13):
doesn't violate the law. The minute you go woke and
violate the law, guess what, you're going to get prosecuted
and you're going to get sued, and you deserve to.
If you didn't hire a qualified white person because of
the color of their skin and they can prove it. Oh,
Katie bar the door. So the EEOC, THEEEOC dot gov

(13:33):
is where you can find this statement and perhaps something
predictive of the future. They put out this statement on
x and as I said, folks, it has a lot
of these cultural Marxists quaking in their boots and a
lot of these probably HR departments of these woke companies
quaking in their boots because they sold out to racism

(13:55):
just to placate leftists. As you know, racism nearly exclusively
on the extreme left.

Speaker 9 (14:02):
I'm Andrew Lucas, Chair of the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Are you a white male whose experienced discrimination at work
based on your race or sex? You may have a
claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws. Contact
the EOC as soon as possible. Time limits are typically
strict for finally acclaim. The EOC is the federal agency

(14:25):
charged with enforcing federal anti discrimination law against businesses and
other private sector employers. The EOC is committed to identifying, attacking,
and eliminating all forms of race and sex discrimination, including
against white male applicants and employees. Check out EOC dot
gov to learn more and read our one page explainer

(14:46):
about DII liminated discrimination.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yep, DDI DEI call it, folks that die program. Learn
about what the Democrats did to us, learn about what
these leftists and these marks exist to do us. And
then how you can go after those companies who looked
at marxist in. Instead of telling them to go pound
sand to go to hell, those companies said, oh, I

(15:11):
guess we better start discriminating. Just too bad. One last thing,
I want you to keep an eye on, folks again,
a lot to get in before the end of the year.
Tulsi Gabbard is out this last weekend and the Director
of National Intelligence is blasting a Reuter's report from you know,
some never Trump warmongering individuals, both Democrats and Republicans, and

(15:38):
it's coming out of the EU. They are saying that
Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin wants to invade Eastern Europe. So
Tulsi is saying, these interests, NATO and the EU and
their allies here in the United States are trying to
push the US into a war with Mother and Russia. Now, folks,

(16:00):
let's just say, for argument's sake, Vladimir Putin has his
eyes on rebuilding Mother Russia and recapturing Eastern Europe. Let's
just say he has that ambition, which you know what,
given the fact that he's a KGBE agent, he probably does.
But from what you've seen and the headaches that Ukraine
have given all of these years of this war between

(16:23):
Ukraine and Russia, do you think that Vladimir Putin's Russia,
the current state of the Red Army, that the current
state of the Russian Army, sorry not read anymore, I
guess technically, but the current state of the Russian Army,
do you think they could recapture Eastern Europe? Do you
think it's even possible with what they have put on display,

(16:45):
how they've had their hands full with a ragtag military
in Ukraine. I don't think so. People I'm talking to folks,
some of our analysts, They're like, wanting to and being
able to are completely different things. Even if Vladimir Putin
has aspirations or designs on Eastern Europe, and I can

(17:08):
understand why they would be a little concerned over there,
but I Russia is not going to attack anybody in
Eastern Europe for fear, especially when Trump's in office, for
fear of triggering you know Article five and NATO they're
not going to do it, so they might wait for
a democrat, because, as you know, whenever a democrat's in office,

(17:28):
they always betray our friends. They always side with enemies
of America, enemies of freedom to betray our friends. But
so long as Trump's in there, I don't think it's
in the cards. All right, Folks, got to get to
my end of your conversation, Like good buddy Tim Young
from the Heritage Foundation up next to the Soal Sado
Storm podcast, and now a word from my sponsors. Oh jeez,

(17:48):
if I hear another Obamacare commercial telling me how great
it is, I think I'm gonna vomit. In reality, folks
are paying out the nose for crappy insurance, meaning those
commercials are just as much BS as Obamacare is. What
if you're under sixty five? Ineque quality affordable health coverage?
American Medical Plans specializes in under sixty five health insurance
plans that have zero copays at the doctor and no

(18:09):
deductible on all outpatient services, including surgeries. You pick your
doctors and hospitals. There are private plans and roll any time,
and there are thirty to sixty percent less than Obamacare.
If you're paying too much for your own health insurance,
call American Medical Plans. They are the answer to the
cancer that is Obamacare.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Let me bring in a good friend. He is also
a truth teller. Tim Young, talented comedian pundit writer. Tim
is the Media Fellow for Strategic Communications at the Heritage Foundation.
My Man Merry Christmas, Welcome back.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Same to you. You're sick? Yeah, how are you doing this?
I just take off every day I can take off.
I just I just will. I'm like a liberal when
it comes to taking sick days.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah, don't make me see that. It's always a danger
having you on when I'm sick, because it only hurts
when I laugh. Oh my gosh, dude. I want to
get your take on the two high profile shootings that
happened over the weekend, and in a way only you
can address, I will tell you this. I have a
lot of red flags about, well, here we are coming

(22:07):
in the day for they don't have a suspect in
the Brown University shooting.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Really, yeah, listen all of the technology that's out there
and everybody with cell phone cameras and everything else that's happening.
It's very hard for me not to believe that they
don't know who did it. But at being Brown University,
it probably doesn't fit the right demographic of what liberals
would like to expose as a mass shooter. So that's

(22:33):
why they're dragging their feet.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
I have to admit to you, I'm thinking the same thing.
It's their narrative over news and who this individual happens
to be doesn't fit a left wing narrative, And I
guess it was Jesse Waters on the Carl Rove Never
Trump Network last night that said that the officials there
are letting are admitting that they're tired of looking for
this guy. It's like it's four days and they're already

(22:57):
quote unquote tired. That's just sending up a whole bunch
of red flags.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Yeah, they don't care. They don't care, and they clearly
don't care about the And forgive me for not remembering
her name, but the young Republican, the vice president there
on campus and the other people there, it seems like
it was a targeted attack. I don't think that this
is a difficult one to probably find that person. Again,
I don't know all the facts and what they have,

(23:23):
but with all the technology that's out there with you know,
as soon as there's any kind of shooting or any
kind of event, everyone pulls out their phones. I mean,
yesterday at the airport when I was I was flying
back from Tampa to DFW, there was a little bit
of a scuffle between two guys and thirty people had
cell phones out immediately, so you can't convince me that

(23:44):
there isn't a plethora of evidence about who.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Did this right exactly, And the longer it drags on,
the more suspicious I become. In response to the mass
shooting in Australia that was targeted at Jews, a place
they already have massive gun restriction and gun control there
in Australia, the government vows to further take more guns

(24:08):
out of their people's hands, to leave their people more defenseless.
Your reaction to not only the shooting, the anti the
anti Semitism on the rise around the world, but also
their quote unquote solution to the shooting.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
I mean, there's no doubt that anti Semitism is just
going crazy around the world right now, and it has been. Actually,
I'm friends with the head of Americans Against Anti Semitism.
I'm doing them for years. He's one of the very
first people I ever brought on radio when I was
still working at Serious XM almost a decade ago. And
a lot of this hege is coming from the left,

(24:42):
but again also seems like our side has been piling
in on it as well. But you know, the last
thing that you want to do in a country if
you watch that and I saw clips of it, because
you know, they're just everywhere, you can't avoid them. Of
that shooting, those guys casually walked around with gun, casually
walked around. Yeah, and they were fortunate that one guy

(25:04):
was able to grab one of them and was brave
enough to do that. But in Texas, that's not happening.
In America, that's not happening. Somebody's going to stop you,
and someone has a gun that can stop you at
some point, so it ends a lot quicker. But if
you're going to completely disarm your citizens, you're basically telling terrorists, Hey,
that was kind of a cakewalk for those guys to

(25:24):
come in and do massive amounts of harm. It'll be
easier the next time, right.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
And then you saw the video of the police officers
ducking and hiding behind cars and not confronting the sh
as they were casually sauntering around, reloading firing, reloading firing.
And if you're going to have a policy that says, oh,
we're going to disarm our people and leave the defenseless,

(25:50):
you better dan, we'll have a police force that is there,
responding and actually able to take down the criminals. And
Australia had neither one, which shows you the folly of
of left wing thought in my view. But I guess
that's going to continue to be a debate time immemorial.
Tim Young is our guest right now, folks. He is
the media Fellow for Strategic Communications at the Heritage Foundation.

(26:12):
I had a very interesting conversation, and actually I've been
having several conversations with conservatives. Michael Reagan and Mary Walter
were on the show yesterday on the NEWSMAC Show, and
the consensus among conservatives is the GOP they're either intentionally
trying to throw the election into the Democrat's hands so
they can stop Trump, or the Republican Party simply doesn't

(26:34):
know how to govern.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
What is your take, Well, yes, you know, I didn't
expect that question.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
The answers. Yes, you know, when you see people like
what's going on with Marjorie Taylor Green and suddenly she's
auditioning for a role. In the view, these people weren't
a lot of these people weren't authentic to be there
to begin with, And it comes down to the electric
electric knowing who they're voting for and actually coming out
to vote for the right people in primary elections. You know,

(27:09):
I think we lucked out here in our area with
Beth Van Dyne and Brandon Gill and a lot of
our Texas representatives are good, but we really we don't
put pedal to the metal lumber in office. In Congress yesterday,
I'm busy seeing people still virtue signaling over Trump's posts
about Rob Runner. I don't care. Those people want us dead.

(27:31):
The left wants us dead, they want us imprisoned. They celebrate,
They danced on Charlie Kirk's grave, they danced on Rush
Limball's grave, they celebrated when Trump was shot. Trump can
say whatever he wants to say about whoever, and I
don't care why when their side can get away with anything,
we're still busy trying to virtue signal and pretend to

(27:52):
be kind for the approval of the left. The left
doesn't care what you think. They want to end you,
and our team does not govern in a manner that
would be aggressive enough to get things done.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
And that was the point that Mary and Mike were
both making that the Republicans. Mary said the Republicans had
better come up with a damn good replacement for Obamacare,
else they're going to get their hats handed to them
in the twenty twenty six midterms. I don't the conventional wisdom.
I don't believe it anymore. I don't believe the polls
anymore because they're the ones that said it was going

(28:26):
to be a president coronated Kamala and that didn't happen.
They're the ones telling us that America really is a leftist, socialist,
communist country and it's just not true. They were the
ones saying that Latinos were going to stay home and
or vote for Kamala, and they didn't. They voted for Trump.
So I will I'm not going to put a whole

(28:48):
bunch of stock in the mainstream press or the political pundits.
That being said, I'm wondering what a Republican in Congress
is going to go home and run on what the
big beautiful bill. Well, really, that's what you're gonna go.
You spent, you over spent more than the Democrats did,
and you're gonna go and tout that as a way
there is a reason why you should go back to Congress.

(29:11):
I think it's fair to say, Tim, and maybe you
have a different view on this, but President Trump never stops.
He's always doing something to fulfill his campaign promises, and
we don't see that from the Republican Party writ large,
do we no?

Speaker 3 (29:24):
And also it's up to the members of Congress and
up to your local representatives and up to your local
GOP groups to talk about what Trump has done and
to support the president, because certainly the media doesn't. And
I know that the media is dying, but it's still
what a lot of people turn to. I mean, you know,
you have to remember the people who listen to your
show and who listen to me aren't no ormies that

(29:47):
I hate to tell you guys this. You're you're very informed,
you know what's going on. You're enraged the way that
we're all en rage, but a lot of your neighbors
are not. And we need to make sure that everyone
knows what's going on, and everyone knows they need to
get out on vote and who they need to vote for,
and because they're not going to get that information otherwise.
And I think we take for granted how informed we

(30:07):
are and ignore the fact that other people just don't
know what's happening.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Right, And I think that if if we had an
informed population, Democrats would never be in office again. And
the majority I firmly believe that if everybody knew and
understood what Democrats stood for or don't, then they would
never win another election. Tim Young is our guest, Folks,
media fellow for Strategic Communications at the Heritage Foundation. I

(30:32):
mentioned Obamacare. What do you make of the Republicans always
seeming unprepared to combat socialized medicine?

Speaker 3 (30:43):
Listen, before Obama left office, let's go, let's go way
back to like twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen. Remember the House
led was Kevin McCarthy then, right, so long ago, now,
a decade ago, they had repealed Obamacare. I believe it
was fifty times maybe more than that. And then when

(31:03):
Trump got into office in twenty sixteen and they were
in control and had the ability to do it again,
they were like, oh we can't.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah, this is.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
Congress has failed us so badly in repeal and replace Obamacare.
It's I honestly don't think it's ever going away. I
hate to say that, but I have no faith in
our congressmen across the board to pass something. And what
they showed you in twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, maybe even

(31:34):
earlier than that, was that they will virtue signal they
will pass things when they know that things won't get
passed to pretend that they want to do something. And
then when Trump was elected, they actually they refused to
repeal and replace. This is they are. They're playing you.
They've played you for a while, and it's time to

(31:54):
get better people in there.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
It's the Bill Crystal, The Bill Crystal, Jonah Goldberg type Republicans, folks.
What Tim and I are making reference to is they
love to talk about conservatism a lot, but the minute
there's a chance that conservatism might get implemented, they do
in about face. Bill Crystal, you know, took cruises, sold cruises,
so you'd go and talk conservatism with him and did

(32:18):
all this stuff over there at the Karl Rove. Never
Trump that work. And then the minute he started seeing
conservatism being implemented by President Trump, he lost his mind
to and now he's voting Democrat for crying out loud.
That's what we're talking about. And I'm just I'm sick
and tired of this illusion that we have a two
party system because we don't. What are your what are

(32:41):
your reflections on twenty twenty five? How does this what
is this year going to go down? As in your mind.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Oh man, you know what a abject failure from the
Republican Party again, Yeah, you know, we had to They
had to fight so much for they're in the majority
in the House, but they pretended they weren't. They didn't
put self police, they didn't police the Democrats, who are ridiculous.
The fact that, I mean again, we've got illaan Omar

(33:07):
as a member of Congress and nothing was happened, Nothing happened.
But then the year of people taking money from foreign
governments to promote their messaging, and there is so much.
I can't stay this enough. There's so much Katari money
and cutters, a country who sponsors terrorism and helps protect
terrorist leaders in many, many different ways, and has their

(33:30):
hand into every academic almost every academic institution. They're huge
donors everywhere. But now I see conservatives and conservative members
of Congress going over there and visiting and being friendly.
Conservatives taking large large amounts of money to go on
trips to go over there, influencers, media personalities. Is ham
Is on the move, folks, And just because they're handing

(33:53):
out gold bars doesn't mean we should like it. Once
we lose this, we lose the world, the world and
people aren't paying attention.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Yeah, true enough, Tim Young everybody talented comedian, pundit writer.
You can catch his his stuff online. I'm gonna I'm
gonna ask you to give me the website here in
a minute, but also go to the Heritage Foundation. He
is the media fellow for Strategic Communications. There where can
folks keep track of you and what you're doing on
a day to day Well, just go.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
Follow me at Timrens's mouth and ex is the main account,
and also on Instagram, and yeah, that's that's the way
to go, and you can see me scream about things
all day long.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Cool man. It's awesome. And I've been lucky enough to
be on your show a couple of times and it's
been been an honor and been incredible amounts of fun.
Tim Young, everybody, Merry Christmas, my friend. Yeah, that was
kind of rough folks last week, being sick and having
to get interviews done. I guess I should be thankful
that it didn't didn't stick around until Christmas week, so

(34:53):
at least i'll I'll be relatively healthy for when the
fat Man comes down. Okay, that's gonna wrap up this
edition of the Tato Storm Podcast. Do me a favorite. Kids,
pick up the book The Rise of the Liberty Loving Latino,
a New American Revolution. You can do it the hard
copy way. You can get the audio book, which might
be a quick last minute gift. You can give that

(35:13):
liberty lover in your life. And until we visit again,
remember this. A society's worth is not measured by how
much power stolen by government. A society's worth is measured
by how much power is reserved for you.

Speaker 8 (35:24):
And me, we the people.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Merry Christmas and keep fighting for freedom out there, my friends,
