Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Are you good morning? I'm great, thank you.
Speaker 3 (00:03):
I'm pretty fired up this morning though about Murkowski, McConnell,
and Susan Collins trying to block the nine billion dollar
recisions package. Nine billion dollars, which is not even a
drop in the bucket compared to what we're spending every
day in this country. I mean, honestly, it makes my
(00:23):
head hurt. But it is so phony and so ridiculous
to throw yourself across the railroad tracks for what National
Public Radio. Now, you know, if Sesame Street and other
programs are wildly popular, so popular we cannot live without them,
surely they could be commercial. Surely they can show up
(00:46):
on Fox, Regular TV or ABC or something like that.
I honestly, the mindset here is boggling.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
But anyway, well, they are commercial. You and I both
know that they are commercial. They don't call them commercials,
but everything on these networks is underwritten by the Chubb
Foundation or whatever. They're making money. They're selling their competing
on our turf while getting a pass on the rules
that we have to abide by.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
But you know, so Lisa Markowski said, well, if there's
bias in NPR, believe me, there is bias in NPR.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Public Radio. Also, if there's bias, we can address that.
Here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
It's been decades, literally decades, that people on the right
have been complaining about the incessant left wing propaganda being
spewed by our corporate corporation for public broadcasting. And what
has Lisa Markowski or Susan Collins's people done.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Absolutely nothing.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I don't know if you saw bread Bears special report
on Fox News last night, but he had on Jean
Shaheen and they were talking about USAID and he was
lamenting the cuts to USAID.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Oh my gosh, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
These are terrible important programs that were about to eliminate.
Were soft power, Our soft power is being cut in half,
blah blah blah, and we're ceding everything to China. And
Brett Bair, to his credit, said well, here's a list
of all these things that were being funded by USAID,
and it looks to me like these are pretty terrible
things that Americans aren't in favor of, like you know,
(02:26):
transgender operas, and we have all seen the list, and
she goes, well, you know, certainly there should have been reforms,
but you know, we shouldn't just cut it.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Well, there never has been reforms. That's the point.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
If Congress did their job, if Republicans in Congress and
Democrats ever stepped in to say, yeah, let's review where
this money is going because maybe we don't approve of this,
then we wouldn't have had to have Doge. We wouldn't
have the American public looking at all this nonsense the
(02:57):
taxpayer money is funding and saying.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
No more, We're done. I mean, you know, I think
a lot of this really does.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Go back to Congress just not doing his job. And
I think that's a serious complaint that people really need
to kind of coalesce around. But anyway, that's my morning rant,
and it's Jon.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Let you talk about what you want to talk about.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Well, I mean, you've got just so much that you
put out there this week. The topics are endless here,
and I'm just I am enjoying, quite frankly on a
very cautionary level, because quite the Republicans have a wonderful
opportunity now if they straighten up, fly right, direct themselves,
get something done, and focus united. They've got something because
(03:40):
the cannibalization that's going on on the left right now
is almost entertaining. It is whoopies going after Barack. On
the view, John Kerry is admitting Trump is right about
border security. James Carville, James Carville is a comic dema
crass that lost that way. They're crazy. They took the
man out of manhood. I'm like, oh my gosh, this
is great. It's fun to watch, but to seize it,
(04:03):
we must have something to offer in the advance of
the design.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I agree, and we have to just not only do stuff,
but be able to tell the American people we're doing stuff.
And I think, you know, that's obviously a challenge when
two thirds of the media world is really purposely opposed
to you. But think just in the last few weeks
what Trump has done a seemingly small.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Thing, but it's really not a small thing.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Is this investment in rare earth mining and processing that
we're going to be moving forward on. People should understand
that our defense industries, communications, telecoms, you name it, auto
industry all depend on the magnets and other products created
from rare earth. China knows that China purposely after went
(04:55):
out to corner the market in them, and when it
came time for a tariff slow to a showdown as
happened two months ago.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
What does Ji Jinping.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Have to threaten the United States with its dominance in
rare earth? This is actually a very important issue. It
isn't the actual product rare earth, it's the processed product.
Because in processing rare earth, it's very, very costly and
also very environmentally toxic. China was willing to torch their landscape,
(05:28):
literally millions of acres of landscape, probably hundreds of thousands,
with sludge and environmentally toxic stuff to do this. We
wouldn't go there, and they knew that. So the point
of this is what has Trump now done. They've actually
secured a path forward to make us, if not self
(05:51):
sufficient in rare earth, at least competitive and able to
supply what we in the extremists would need.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
That is, you know, Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Talked and talked and talked, but I really can't find
much they did except give money to Democrat aligned ngngos
who spent like one tenth of it on.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Renewable energy.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Trump is getting stuff done, He's fixing problems, and I,
you know, I just some'm very heartened that at the
end of the day, voters are going to look at
this record of achievement and say, you know what, this
really did work for us, and you know, gives Republicans
another four years because we need more than four years
to get this stuff done.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah. Oh absolutely, but it's the momentum. Possibilities are there
right now, and you have to take advantage of those.
I want to do before we have to say goodbye.
I want to make sure we talk about the fact
that you've kind of branched out. Of course, at foxnews
dot com. They can go to the Fox newsite and
you're prominently featured. There is one of their opinion cow
on this, but there's also a Lizpeak dot com.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Now, ah, there is. I have a website and it
was so completely terrible a year ago. It literally it
literally crashed, so we couldn't put much up on there.
So it's been redone. Thank you for mentioning. I really
appreciate that, and it's now extremely active. It's actually exhausting
and overwhelming to me, but it is. I hope, you know,
(07:13):
I hope it's attracting multiples more people, which is great.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Well, it looks great, and the content is definitely solid,
and honestly, it's just much easier to find what I'm
looking for from you l I Z P E e
K dot com and boom there you are as opposed
to having to search through somebody else's menu. So it's
a great idea for you to have that.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Thank you, Thank you. I appreciate that. I'm glad you
like it. I think it's pretty good too.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
The Ice story I don't think is getting nearly enough attention,
you know, if they can that fake report out there
about the sergeant major or whatever being arrested, which was
BS satire stuff. But you know, we've had ICE officers,
unarmed ICE officers fired on after being ambush by guys
(08:01):
in the woods with rifles who waited for the unarmed
ICE agents to come out to see who's doing the
graffiti on the cars and so forth. This Ice situation,
the Tom Holman juggernaut that is going across the country
right now. Any chance that you're expecting at least some
more positive, positive coverage of the positive work that is
(08:25):
being done in the face of all of this negative,
almost terroristic type stuff that's being done.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Back absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
The Left is absolutely determined to paint ICE agents, who are,
after all, an extension of our federal law enforcement group
as thugs, as gestapo. To quote Mike Walls, the left
politicians included are so anti ICE that they have brought
these people into danger and now, I mean really and
(08:55):
truly they're dosing them.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Now.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
They want to pass a bill saying they're not allowed
us any kind.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Of face covering. These guys' homes.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Are being if threatened and harassed, and their families are
under threat. You know, would you want your name out
there and your face visible so that people could follow
you home and threaten your kids.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
No, you don't. So I think this is a horrifying
thing because.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
What ICE is doing, by the way, mostly is resting
and deporting people who are sex traffickers, who are kidnappers,
who are child abusers, rapists, thugs, and gang members. Those
are the people, by extension that democrats and the left
are protecting and championing. Honestly, I understand that some of
(09:46):
these scenes of deportations look wild and chaotic, but only
because of what you just described that you have protesters
who now have become violent. These are not sunny well
din supposed you know, people trying to make their point
of view hurt. They're trying to hurt people, so the
sooner they crack down on that the better.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
In my view.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I hope they do, because it's really an unconscionable thing
that's going on.
