Speaker 1 (00:00):
So I guess the whole point of the summit is
for them to say, We're going to double down even
harder on all of our stupid shit. This is the takeaway. Apparently,
when we get to the next election, they are going.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
To be so screwed if they don't change course. And
they are not changing course, let us do our freaking
jobs and shut up.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Jerk's on the right. That's nice.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Good morning, Happy Tuesday. It is Tuesday, everybody. I hope
everybody's doing well.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Can I take a moment of tiny personal privilege to
cherish my favorite birds, my parents a very happy fifty
eighth anniversary. Fifty eight.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Wow, I am the acutest Happy anniversary to them.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
That is amazing. Yeah, they've been married a good long time.
So happy. I won't be happy anniversary to them.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Won't live that long to see fifty eight, you know
what I mean, my husband, we won't. We won't live
that long to see fifty eight. There's just no way.
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, that's that will be a tall order for me
as well. Yeah, that's pretty We're just about to do
twenty five. I mean that's the eight. Wow. Yeah, they've
been married a long time. So anyway, happy anniversary to
them at the anniversial. Terrible news for those folks who
for some reason thought that when the ladies of the
(01:24):
View left for their summer break that they were leaving forever.
They are actually returning to the airwaves on September eighth. Sorry, everybody.
It's so interesting that they get. They get summer break.
Are they teaching? It's like a month long they get.
They're just gone for the practically the well, the whole
month of August. Really, wow, it's been so nice.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It has not having to see their faces and talk
about them and like clips that are outrageous stupid, and yeah,
it has been really nice. Welcome back to reality, everybody, exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
So, so you got your reading glasses on, because Cracker
Barrel has released a very lengthy statement to its customer base,
and Daisy's going to read it to you and then
we can discuss about whether or not we feel any
better from it.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Here is the first page, all right, a promise to
our guests in the last few days. If the last
few days have shown us anything, it's how deeply deeply
people care about Cracker Barrel. We're truly grateful for your
heartfelt voices. You've also shown us that we could have
done a better job sharing who we are and who
will always be. What has not changed and what will
(02:35):
never change are the values this company was built on
when Cracker Barrel first opened in nineteen sixty nine. Hard work,
family and scratch cooked food made with care. A place
where everyone feels at home, no matter where you're from
or where you're headed. That's the Cracker Barrel. You'll always find.
The things people love most about our stores aren't going anywhere.
(02:57):
Rocking chairs on the porch, warm fire in the hearth,
peg games on the table, unique treasures in our gift shop,
and vintage Americana with antiques pulled straight from our warehouse
and Lebanon, Tennessee. We love seeing how much you care
about our old timer.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
We love him too. Uncle Herschel will still be in
our menu Welcome back, Uncle Herschel's favorite breakfast platter, on
our road signs, and featured in our country store. He's
not going anywhere. He's family.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
While our logo and remodels may be making headlines are
a bigger focus is still right where it belongs, in
the kitchen and on your plate, serving generous portions of
the food you crave at fair prices, and doing it
with the kind of country hospitality that brightens your days
and creates lasting memories. Meat loaf, chicken and dumplings, country
fried steak, sides that tastes like Sunday supper, and yes,
(03:48):
the world's best pancakes. They're all still here, with a
few new dishes joining the menu. Whether you're a longtime
fan or a first time guest, we want you to
feel at home around our table. We also want to
be sure Cracker Barell is here for the next narration
of families, just as it has been for yours. That
means showing up on new platforms, in in new ways,
but always with our heritage at the heart. We take
(04:10):
that responsibility very seriously. We know we won't always get
everything right the first time, but we'll keep testing, learning
and listening to our guests and employees. At the end
of the day, our promise is simple. You'll always find comfort, community,
and country hospitality here at Cracker Barrel. Uncle Herschel wouldn't
have wanted it any other way. Thank you for caring
so much, and come see for yourself the country hospitality
(04:31):
that makes Cracker Barrel, feel like love Cracker Barrel. Uncle
Uncle Herschel wanted it any other way. That's why we
like shoved him in the back right screw.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So, then where's the part where they explain why the
hell they're doing this in the worst place? Like what
exactly so we hear you, We recognize we didn't roll
this out the best way. We're keeping Uncle Herschel, we're
staying true to our values, but we're still giving you
this horrible new logo and completely sterile new restaurants exactly
exactly what, and they like they still are doing all
(05:06):
the things, all the DEI bull crap that they were doing.
This is just like, Hi, sorry about everything, but we're
not sorry. We're not at all sorry to enjoy the
chicken and dumplings at a fair price. It was so interesting.
There was just a complete rando on X who decided
(05:27):
and I don't even think they're a graphic designer, but
this person was like, you know what, I'm going to
take a crack at creating a new logo for Cracker Barrel.
And it was so much better than the plain ass
new logo that they've come up with because it's an
actual barrel. Yeah, this guy Elie Singolo said, obviously this
is just me doodling and not doing a serious fix
(05:48):
of the new logo. But I think if they were
really determined to change it so much, they really could
have benefited from slightly less minimalism, And that prompted Brit Hume,
of all people, to weigh in saying this, this is
so obviously an improvement on the company's new logo that
you wonder why the designers didn't think of it, or
maybe they did, which is worse. Good for this guy
(06:09):
for coming up with it.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, I mean I feel bad for the people who
work there, like the real people, like the wait staff
and the cashiers and the cooks and people like that,
because you know, there are all these jack holes that
are sitting in an air conditioned boardroom somewhere, you know,
pulling this, and they hired three different sets of consultants
to come up with the shitty logo that they did.
(06:32):
When this person, this Lway Singolo, came up with this
and he's just a guy. He's just like some random guy.
They think that they're doing something really great and progressive.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
And you know, they went through like focus groups and
meeting after meeting after meeting, totally.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It's ridiculous. Yeah, it is nonsense. And who suffers because
of all this.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
It's the people that have the regular people that are like,
we liked it the way that it us and we
work here and we love it and we value it.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
And they're the ones who are ultimately gonna suffer it.
Really does you know? It doesn't suck? Is fresh pressed
olive oil. So you guys so good.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I'm so hungry right now.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
You should get your full sized, thirty nine dollars bottle
of it for just one dollar shipping.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
It is, no commitment. You can get in their little club.
Go to Chicks Love Olive Oil dot com. Once you
try it, you will never go back.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
It's so gover. Yeah, there's no way I would ever
buy just like a market grocery store oil. Yeah, heck no,
I'm a diva. Now, good stuff, all right, let's get
into the things and the stuff. We're gonna kick it
off with some recaps of stories that we were already
(07:49):
covering yesterday. While we were on the show. We told
you that there was a rally happening outside the Baltimore Courthouse.
There was I don't know. A couple hundred people gathered
in some sort of Abrego, Kilmar whatever.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
His three names, Garcia. They're the Maryland Man, the Maryland man, right.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
The Maryland Man, including people like dressed in pink singing
because this is all that like weird lefties know how
to do. They're so freaking weird, and so immediately outside
the courtroom he was taken back into ice custody, which
one of his attorneys announced to the crowd, and this
was the reaction of motion Berg.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
I'm a partner at the immigration law firm of Murray
Assorio PLC in Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey and one
of the many attorneys in the legal team that's been
representing kill.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Mar Abrego Garcia.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Mister Brego Garcia was taken into custody by ice this morning.
His face all that guy just can I just interject
(09:03):
with that lawyer. He looks like he's been on a
bender for like four days. Yeah, he does look exhausted,
just dishoveled. He's like he looks just not shaved and
like his hairs off and he looks it looks like
he's been wearing the same clothes for a couple of days,
he just looks like dirty. You know, it's rough work
defending that guy, I guess. Yeah. But for those of
(09:26):
us who were hoping that he was going to be
shipped off to Uganda yesterday, that has not happened because
an Obama judge has blocked that impending deportation. So now
it's all tied up in legal battles again, of course,
And because it's all tied up in legal in all
these legal battles, and because leftists continue to want to
defend the indefensible, this came up at Trump's many press
(09:49):
conferences yesterday. I think he was at like three different
events answering reporter questions three different times. I was to
the point where I was like enough already.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
So was my husband. He was like, he's on TV again,
the television, Like I've had enough of him.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But that's exactly what Greg was saying. He's like, what
TV again, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I mean, it was just endless yesterday and he was
answering the same things over and over and over again.
So I was just like, my god. I mean, it
was a load off of the Fox people because I
had it on my TV on Fox and everyone that
had a show didn't have a show because they just
kept caring it live. But anyway, he was. He had
Pam Bondi with he had a bunch of his team
(10:33):
with him in one of these events. And so one
of the reporters said, what do you make of this
whole kill maar Abrego Garcia thing? And here is how
Trump answered that question.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I thank you Ms President. Today emisirteen gang baker and
Kuma trafficker ki Abrego Garcia turned himself into ice in Baltimore.
Gave me a comment on this and why the Democrats
so emotionally attached this man who beats his wife and
is part of a tar organization.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Because they think he's going to be good for volks
And I think he's very bad for UKs. These people
are deranged. He's not good for VOTs. He beat the
hell out of his wife. His wife is afraid to
even talk about him. She's been mauled by this animal.
And you know, through a system of liberal courts, you
(11:22):
know he's doing things. But now we have that under control,
and Pam has got that very much under controled.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Do you want to comment on it?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
No, No, We've got him under control, he will no
longer terrorize our country.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
He's currently charged with human smuggling and concluding children.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
The guy needs to be in prison. He's not wrong,
But can we this happen already? I know, right, And
the fact that people are protesting this at all, Like,
what the hell? Why is this even a discussion?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
We have so many other better things to do that
you know, in the country, there are other problems, like
this guy is getting so much airtime.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
He's a loser, He's incredible. Yeah, yeah, It's like these
are the same people that, like, are his supporters, are
the same people who are like, stop fighting crime in
our big cities? Trump, why would you? Why would you
stop all the crime? We love crime? Like just it
doesn't make any sense. And JB. Pritzker after whom I'm
(12:23):
named today, uh, and Brandon Johnson because Trump keeps talking about,
you know, having the National Guard help out in Chicago
as well, since that's a complete healscape. They you know,
had their own press conferences. They were fighting back, and
then there was this moment with JB. Pritzker, who Trump
made fun of a lot yesterday, like saying that he's unhealthy,
(12:45):
just saying that he's incompetent. And then I don't know
who the cameraman is in this clip, but he needs
a billion dollars in raises because this is what happened.
It was a beautiful, beautiful moment.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
We're very pleased about the aggress that we're making.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
I know that I live rent free in the President's head,
and I wish he would spend some time in Chicago
so that he could see what a lovely shitty we have, Governor,
what you.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Was that not just the most thing? It's lovely, and
it's lovely. It's lovely, especially this building right here.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
The rest of it you're gonna get murdered, but this
building right here, fantastic.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
It's legend. Cameraman, I mean, I love him. We need
to get him on our He's probably gonna get fired.
It was worth it. I know it was so worth
getting fired if he gets fired. Kay, I love that guy.
I know. It was so great. And then Brandon Johnson,
who is just god, he's just awful. He's now trying
(13:57):
to say that incarceration not only doesn't work, which of
course it works. If you take a criminal off that
street and put them in jail, that that's not going
to commit more crimes. That's like, it's very what are
you talking about?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
What?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Well, I didn't know. And thanks to Brandon Johnson for
educating me. Incarceration is super racist. So here he is
to explain, Okay, our.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Way out of violence. We've already tried that.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
If we ended up with the largest prison population in
the world without solving the problems of crime and violence,
the addiction on jails and incarceration in this country.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
We have moved past that. It is racist, it is immoral,
it is unholy, and it is not the way to
drive violence down.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
It's unholy.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
We cannot return to the same failed strategies that got
us here in the first place.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Under the previous presidential administration, we requested.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
More federal resources to address gun violence in our city.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Continue to make that same call.
Speaker 8 (15:02):
We have made significant progress on our own, but there
is so much more that we can do if we
had real support from the federal government.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Okay, Brandon want more money, Yes, Okay, federal money meaning
you and me. So he wants he wants federal funds.
We're supposed to pay for the shithole that is Chicago
right now, And listen, I love Chicago. I still live there,
but it is now becoming.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Shit because of people like him.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
And if he doesn't believe in incarceration, he should just
take the criminals into his house, you know, they just
if it doesn't, that's pointless because if it's unholy to
put them in jail after they've murdered people, he can
just be.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Like, come to my house because I'm benevolent, I'm the
good guy. Do it, Brandon. It's true when Trump says
that the Chicago leadership is incompetent. Yes, when you are
looking at JB. Pritzker and you are looking at freaking
Brandon Johnson, Yes, there is no better word to describe
those people. They are incompetent losers. They probably don't even
(16:10):
know how great this cozy earth blanket is. That's how
big are losers. They are, you guys, and talk.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
About the comfort and coziness and the spa retreat that
is your home and blankets, because NK and I are
blanket people, like we are blanket people. Okay, we shot
every time. This is the greatest blanket ever. Blankets are
like a big thing right now. I think they're having
their time, you know what I mean, like a lot
of companies are they they're having a moment, and a
(16:38):
lot of companies are trying to jockey for who has
the best blanket, Who has the best blank I feel
like this is the best one right now on the mark.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I love this thing because it is can you see.
You gotta look at it.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
You gotta look at the gloriousness. It's fat on both sides.
It's not just one side, it's fat all around, and
it's like cushy.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Our kids.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I have one on my recliner, and my kids are like,
we got to get one of these because they just
bought a house here in Texas and they're obsessed. My
daughter in law's obsessed with this thing. It's the bubble
cuddle blanket. I don't think there's any other way, right,
It's the bubble cuddle blanket. It's luxurious, it's comfortable, it's soft,
it's like faux fur. It's like it's the most it's
(17:19):
so beautiful and they're pretty, but they're also so super comfortable,
and then they're they're warm. It's just the greatest thing ever.
It's what you want to curl up with when you're
like netflixing and doing all you.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Want to be naked on this. I'm just saying it. Yeah,
you want to be all kinds of naked on it.
She's right, She's totally right, She's you're right.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, you guys, head to cozyearth dot com use code
chicks for up to forty percent off. You've got to
get one of these. They have all different colors. I'm
going to get a gray one for our kids as
a housewarming gift. That's cozyearth dot com Code Chicks. I
have an Ivory one, which is beautiful forty percent off
cozyearth dot com checks get forty percent off. And if
(18:01):
you get a post purchase survey, make sure to let
them know that you heard about Cozy Earth right here.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Because you guys, your home should be like a spa retreat.
I'm just saying it should be should be your favorite
paid the Cozy Earth blanket. Yeah, all right, let's uh
because there's this is going to be an interesting show
because we're going to have and I know this makes
people uncomfortable, but we're probably going to have some criticism
(18:27):
of this administration for various reasons. Okay, because we're we
keep it real here on the chicks on the right show.
But let's start out with how absolutely disastrous the Democrat
Party is right now and they're currently engaging in like
a summer summit. They're having their like annual We got
to get together and figure out what our message is
(18:49):
and like rally the troops and get all go team.
And so the DNC chair opened up the meeting by
proving the Democrats have learned absolutely nothing from the last
election and they decided to open up open up the
summit as follows.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
Is from the Sagana Ojibwe nation, and she's going to
deliver our land acknowledgment today Lindy.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Whatnse amcdotum uh and and now good morning DNC members,
friends and relatives. Let's talk about the land for a second.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Because they do what such losers? Where can we get
some work done? We need to acknowledge that the land there,
it's right there.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
No, they have to acknowledge that they're having their little
meeting on stolen land to appease the out loud. Everybody's
always apologizing, you know, yeah, they're always apologizing and defending
in defensible things. But they are ready for a fight.
And so Ken Martin says that he's sick and tired
(20:08):
of being out matched and out maneuvered. And here's some
fighting words.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
I'm tired of this Democrat party bringing a pencil to
a knife fight.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
We cannot be.
Speaker 11 (20:19):
The only party that plays by the rules anymore. We've
got to fight. We're not gonna have a hand tied
behind our back anymore.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Okay, we're your huckleberry. Okay, they're sick and tired of
playing by the rules.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
They say, right, that's right when this happens, if it's
kid pig and I went through and said, we got bazookkaz.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
That's right. They're bringing pencils. That's cut there there. But
I mean, they just so now, so I guess the
whole point of the summit is for them to say,
we're gonna double down even harder on all of our
stupid trading. They lost us the last election. We're just
gonna be meaner about it.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
This is this is the takeaway, apparently, And in the
words of possum Person, they're going to triple Trump. They're
going to triple down on Trump, and they're going to
be like, we hate Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump Trump, this
anti Trump.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Okay. I hope they keep doing that. I hope they
keep using Trump as like the the one thing that
they just hate so bad that anything that he says
they go against it. It's all about Trump. It won't
be about Trump next time, it won't be. It's not
about Trump now. It's about common sense.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Now.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Really isn't about Trump. He is just the conduit, right,
He's just the leader right now.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
But really it's.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
About us wanting common sense, and he happened to be
the vessel by which we could get there, you know, right,
And so when we get to the next election, they
are going to be so screwed if they don't change course.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And they are not changing course, No, they are not.
In fact, there was like an interview of Elizabeth Warren.
I'm not sure who the guy is that's asking the question,
but he's saying, hey, we're sucking right now, Like our
our poll numbers are in the are in the toilet.
So what's the plan, And she essentially says, we're just
going to do more crazy.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Also, you're an all time low.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
So the question is what do Democrats need to do
to win back Congress in the midterms and just win
back to people.
Speaker 12 (22:18):
Well, I gotta tell you, nobody elected the Democrats to
lie down and play dead.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Oh my god. The number one thing we got to
do is stand up and fight back. But fight back way.
That's it's not that's not a strategy, that's not a policy.
It's just opposition, that's right. It's just more fighting. It's
more getting out and singing your stupid, stupid songs and
(22:46):
protesting everything that doesn't need to be protested. That's that's
not a strategy and it's not a policy. They do
not have good policies, which is why they were voted out.
I don't see I don't see any change here. I
don't I know. I mean, it's they're just sucking so hard.
And then, of course, since they were in Minnesota, Tim
(23:07):
Walls was a headline figure at the summit, and he
again all he can do is talk about MAGA about Trump.
And then what's even crazier about his whole speech was
that he talks about how Trump is so divisive and
insulting in petty while he's being divisive, insulting, and petty,
(23:30):
and he doesn't even he doesn't even hear himself here
he is talking about MAGA in general or the GOP
be to be a damn Republican.
Speaker 11 (23:38):
Oh what should I wear today? This stupid freaking red
at What should I say today? I don't know, just
make sure it's cruel. Who do we listen to that guy? Oh,
the fella in the White House. Yeah, listen to him
and that will be fine.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I mean, he's so lost. It gets worse. But he
takes a break for a moment to compliment and praise
Kamala Harris, saying how much better shape we would be
in as a country if she were president?
Speaker 11 (24:05):
My god, I tell you the privilege of my lifetime
was stand beside someone we know was the most qualified
and would have been a fantastic president.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
In a president Harris, Okay, look.
Speaker 11 (24:20):
We wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of
shit on TV and a bunch of nonsense. We would
wake up to an adult with compassion and dignity and
vision and leadership doing the work, not a manchild trying
about whatever's.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Wrong with him.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Manchild, that's right? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (24:38):
May his fat ankles find something today?
Speaker 13 (24:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And they go low? Did you know that the last part? Yeah?
Now he said petty as hell? And I can't decide
is he saying is he acknowledging that what he just
said is petty as hell because it was I mean,
well and everything, because he's talking about kinkles and red
(25:05):
hats and like this is it's kind of like Gavin,
you know, saying using Trump and like how he talks
and how everything about him his whole essence, and he
basically is like I hate everything he does and everything
he says and who he is as a person, So
I'm gonna go ahead and do it.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
And everybody on the left is now applauding it, and
it's like, wait, but it's not really a troll if
you hate it so much, I don't understand it. It's
really strange to me. They're embracing his whole essence because
Gavin is doing exactly will at least they think that
he's doing exactly what Trump does. If you hate it
so much, don't you think you do the opposite. It
(25:44):
doesn't make any sense to me. I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
They love it. They love it, so I guess it's okay.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
If they do it, it's okay, And it's the whole
we go when they go low, you know, Michelle Obama
used to say that member, it's that's not going like
they're well, they've.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Changed their tune on that. They're like, now we're going
to remember what Charlottage and the God said. He was like,
instead of that, we're just going straight down into hell.
We're gonna go way way lower and fight fight. I
don't think they can get any lower, mat I don't
think they they're I mean, these are these are the
people who during a campaign had women out there twerking
(26:23):
for Kamala. You know what I mean. You can't like
when it comes to like culture, when it comes to
the message. They I don't think they can get much lower,
can they. It's one of the reasons don't them, like,
don't tempt them to get worse. But they not only
are they doubling and tripling down on just all of
their you know, they're tough talk. They're they're fighting back
(26:47):
against god knows what. They continue to be the wokests
that lost them the election in the first place. And
again Tim Walls putting it out.
Speaker 10 (26:57):
There, Minnesota ranks the highest per cap for being a
safe haven for transgender individuals in Minnesota. And can I
just say we can talk about economic growth and feeding
children and growing the economy and creating jobs simultaneously with
talking about everybody's human rights matters and we shouldn't nimalize them.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
You can involve Why is he so gay?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Keep giving tampons de boys to him. Right, This is
what they doubled down on. This is what they doubled
down on. This is why you lost.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I mean, but they don't. They're not learning. This is
not learning, This is not self reflection, and they have
none of that. They do not have the skill to
look and go, hey, let's let's do a lessons learned.
It's kind of like when the private sector, when you
do a project, at the end of the project, you go,
what did we do wrong? What did we do well?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
They have not done that.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
The Democrats are incapable of doing that. They don't look
at everything like you know, a company, which is I
hope what the Republicans would do if we lost like that. Yeah,
if things were tanking so hard, I would hope that
somebody would be like, hey, we got to look at
things like a company looks at things. Why are we
tanking so hard? And we would change course, like seriously,
(28:11):
we would take the rudder and figure out we need
to go a completely different They are not doing that.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I hope we would. I mean, but they they are
definitely not.
Speaker 14 (28:21):
They're not.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
They're just not doing it. It's it's it. I guess
we should just hope that they continue to not I.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Guess yeah, because they are running. They're so far into
the ground now. It's just it's remarkable to me.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yeah, it's amazing. It's amazing. You guys, If you're looking

Speaker 1 (30:15):
We love them. We love them, you really love them.
All Right, So, before we get to any criticism of
some recent Trump policies, or not even criticism but just
healthy discussion about them, let's talk about some good news
first with respect to his administration and with the GOP.
And we'll start with our favorite little data geek, Harry Enton.
Speaker 15 (30:39):
Ran right now has about the appeal with the American
voter as the Crackle Barrel rebrand has with the American consumers.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Bad, bad, bad, What are you doing?
Speaker 15 (30:49):
Oh my goodness, gracious, what are we talking about here
in terms of big party registration changes in the key
swing states. Let's look at the key for swing states
that in fact do keep tract of registration by party. Look,
the Republican Party is in their best position at this
point of the cycle since at least two thousand and five,
and all four of these key battleground states. We go
out to the southwest, Arizona, how about Nevada, Republicans haven't
(31:13):
done this well since two thousand and five. Oh my goodness, Gracio,
at this point of cycle. North Carolina, I couldn't find
a point at which Republicans were doing better at this
point in the cycle. It's at least this century. It
probably goes way back in the last century. And Pennsylvania
very similar. Republicans doing better at this point than at
any point. Get this, the Republican party gains and party
(31:34):
registration compared to this point back in twenty seventeen during
the Trump first administration. In Arizona, you got a Republican
gain of three points. Okay, how about Nevada. Up the
hill we go, even though we're sticking to the southwest,
a gain of six points. How about again we come
to the east coast North Carolina, a gain of eight
points for the Republicans. And in the Keystone State, in
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, again we're talking about a gain
(31:56):
of eight points. My goodness, gracious for Republicans. They are
converting old former Democrats to their side of the ledger
as well as picking up new voters, registering new voters,
and it absolutely paid off for them back in the
twenty twenty four election.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
That's amazing. That's some good news.
Speaker 10 (32:13):
It is, it is.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
And then you hear people on the left say, oh,
he's losing support, or people are leaving the Republican Party,
or everybody thinks he's doing a terrible job.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Where are you seeing what?
Speaker 13 (32:23):
What?
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Shut up? I don't know where they're seeing. You're making
that up. They are making it up. He is doing
He is firing on all cylinders on so many fronts.
One of the reasons that he was talking to reporters
yesterday is because he had the South Korean president in
the Oval for a meeting, and there was a translator.
There's you know, the South Korean president does not speak English.
(32:46):
So there was a translator there and the South Korean
president actually suggested, and this may actually happen, that Trump,
because he has solved so many, you know, fights across
the world, that he would like for North and South
Korea to mend their oh my god, hard feelings too,
and he is suggesting that Trump could be able to
(33:08):
do that. Here is that moment, you'll hear it from
the translator.
Speaker 16 (33:12):
Well, in establishing peace on the Korean peninsula. So I
look forward to your meeting with Kim jo Turman, Kim
Jong hun and a construction of a Trump tower in
North Korea and playing golf about please, So I believe
he will be waiting for you.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Oh my god, real, that is, it's it is. It's unbelievable.
I mean, that would never happen. It would never happen
with anybody else. Nope, it's an incredible Also, another really
important moment happened, and we're not gonna I'm not gonna
make you read the entire proclamation because it is forever long,
(33:55):
but it's long overdue that this White House decided to
make today a remembrance day of Abby Gate and the
service people who lost their lives at Abbegate, since Biden
bothered to acknowledge these people or the contributions that he made,
or the sacrifices that they and their families made. But JD.
Vance spoke on this issue and it was beautiful. They
(34:18):
had all the gold Star families there And here is
a little bit of JD.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Well of you here.
Speaker 13 (34:23):
I know that days like today can't make the hurt
go away, but hopefully four years on we could start
to remember with fondness and with a little bit of joy.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
The people that were.
Speaker 13 (34:32):
Taken from us were so proud of you. We're so
proud of your loved ones forgiving their life for our country.
And I think importantly today this is a rectification of
a wrong, the fact that the president of the United
States lost your loved ones through incompetence, but never acknowledge it,
and your government never actually put pen to paper to
say we're grateful for your sacrifice. We correct that wrong
(34:53):
today that we're to keep on fighting and understand, as
Pete said, and what happens so it never happens to.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
An other family again.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
But God love you all, God bless you.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I'm so thrilled to have you here in the People's
Oval Office. God bless them.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah, it's about so hard that. Oh I am too,
it's about time. I mean, like he said, it's never
going to fill that void, but hopefully that helps them
heal a little bit and they at least feel seen.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Right, that's a big, big point right there. That's exactly right.
God bless them for doing that.
Speaker 17 (35:26):
I know.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
I just love that. And then also, I'm not sure
how I missed it before, but in that interview that
jd Vance did with Kristen Welker, she asked a question
about whether or not he sees himself as a future president,
and I just loved the way he answered the question
so much that, even though it's a couple days old,
now had to share it.
Speaker 18 (35:47):
You've been asked about this, you said, you have not
discussed this with him. It's right, But do you see
yourself as the apparent future of the MAGA movement?
Speaker 19 (35:57):
No.
Speaker 14 (35:58):
I see myself as a vice president who's trying to
do good job for the American people, Kristen, And if
I do a good job, and if the president continues
to be successful, as I know that he will be,
the politics will take care of itself. We can cross
that bridge when we come to it. But we just
had an election seven months ago. I think I'm probably
like most Americans, and I'm already sick of talking about
politics after a big general election. The next election that
(36:20):
matters is not the election of twenty twenty eight, it's
twenty twenty six. So before we talk about anything three
and a half years down the road, let's take a
break from politics, focus on governing the country. And when
we return to politics, it's going to be to focus
on those midterm elections.
Speaker 18 (36:36):
Have you had any conversations with President Trump about him
passing the torch onto you?
Speaker 14 (36:41):
As you know, the President talks about everything, and if
it's in the news, the President and I have certainly
discussed it. But I think the President is just focused
on doing a good job for the American people. He
wants me to be focused on doing a good job
for the American people. That's what I'll keep on doing.
And again, if we take care of business, if America
is safer, if it's more prosperous, if young people can
forward to buy a home, if we actually bring peace
(37:03):
to all these regions of the world, which we've made
great progress in doing, the politics will take care of it.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Best ever. I love that, right, wasn't it the greatest.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Best answer ever? Yeah, just answer, let us do our
freaking jobs and shut up.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Yeah. And he said it in such a nice way
like I would have said that. I would have said,
let me do my job. Stfu. But he does it
in a way where he is he's presidential material. Mm hmmm.
It was perfect. It was absolutely perfect. I was so
impressed with that, so great. And then there was this report.
I think I also missed this from the weekend, but
(37:39):
remember how there was all kind of all this chatter
and Trump contributed to it at one point that because
we're taking in so much money and revenue in tariffs,
that maybe people would get like checks, like rebate checks
from the tariff earnings. And we were both of us,
I mean, we were all like, no, no, pay down
the debt. Dumbest thing, paid down the debt. So I
(38:00):
was very, very very excited to hear this.
Speaker 20 (38:04):
Scott best and says that the Trump administration is using
tariff revenue to pay down national debt, dismissing the idea
of a rebate check disbursement within the next few months.
The Secretary telling me recently that he's expecting that tariff
revenue to exceed three hundred billion dollars this year alone.
The national debt currently stands at thirty seven and a
(38:25):
quarter trillion dollars.
Speaker 11 (38:27):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Wow, Yeah, I mean it's a drop in the bucket.
But like, imagine wanting to spend that money and not
use it to set, you know, to.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Pare down our debt, right, that would have bet But
the fact that we're able to do that now is
pretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
That they're they're getting more money in. That's great. Start
this super great. Let's see what happened. Start paying it down.
Speaker 13 (38:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Anyways, so that was good news, and I hadn't heard
a lot about that recently, so when I saw that clip,
I was like, ooh, this is very welcome. So anyway,
if you are not taking your veggies and your fruits,
what are you doing you guys? There is a cheat
cod It's true. I'm the worst about eating my fruits
and veggies. So it's my teenager. We're both really I mean,
(39:14):
it's like pulling teeth with her. I know, you have
a teenager that loved vegetables. He is an anomaly, that's true,
he is. We're all very bad about it. In this house.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
But I do drink water always, something I do all
day long because I'm all about hydration. And Field of
Greens is Field of Greens is a great way to
just kind of get a as a life hack. Basically,
it helps me get all my fruits and veggies in
with like one of my cups of water every day.
And right now, brick House is having their Labor Day sale,

so you can get twenty five percent with the code
Labor twenty five. And they also have Lean, so you

my strategy. You know, lose a little, then you can

gain a little. But yeah, they have Lean, they have
Field of Greens, and so it's good like kickoff ball,

Do it you guys, Yeah, write that down because it's
unusual when it's not the code chicks, right, So it's
Labor twenty five. That's right, all right, just a little
bit of fun stuff. I mean, normally I would have
had these maybe as talks, but I thought these are
Trump related, so I'm just gonna include them right now.
(40:49):
And I don't know. There might be some people who
take offense to this, but I thought it was so funny.
And it's this gay, super gay guy saying like sinking
to Trump's own words, and in a way that suggests
that Trump is missing out by not being a gay person,
like he should have been a gay person. And you'll
(41:11):
see why with this little montage.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
And woman, man and woman. Look at that guy. How
handsome he is.
Speaker 5 (41:18):
I'll kiss him, not with a lot of enjoyment, but
that's okay.
Speaker 19 (41:23):
But Arnold Palmer was all man. And when I say that,
in all do respect to women, and I love women.
But this guy, this guy, this is a guy that
was all man. This man was strong and tough.
Speaker 21 (41:41):
And I refused to say it, but when he took
showers with the other pros they came out of there
and they said, Oh my god, that's unbelievable.
Speaker 19 (41:54):
I had to say it.
Speaker 13 (41:56):
I had to say, isn't it.
Speaker 21 (41:57):
He calls me press.
Speaker 22 (41:58):
He used to call me Donald.
Speaker 5 (41:59):
Now he calls me press.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
So that's nice respect.
Speaker 5 (42:01):
But it's a rough guy, smart guy, very successfully, very rich.
I wouldn't even know how we would know this, but
because he's got comments that president could I asked you a.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Question, what would you stand up?
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Look at that guy?
Speaker 1 (42:13):
You and the beautiful white shirt? Would you look at
this guy?
Speaker 19 (42:18):
I'm looking at him.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
I always wanted to look like that.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
I just didn't want to do the work.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
Oh my god, I love him.
Speaker 6 (42:32):
Good.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
So dany right like the lip sinking is? I can
never do that on point? I know. So the second funny,
I'm highly inappropriate, hide your kids and hid your wives
Trump take off is that apparently there's a way where
(42:52):
you can use Trump's voice to create a message to
send to somebody. And it's very cool of her father
came across his teenage daughter Dildo and decided to confront
her using Trump's voice. Here is what it sounded like, Hi, sweetheart,
(43:16):
there's no reason to be embarrassed.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
But I found your green goblin. Well that's what your
mother used to call it.
Speaker 23 (43:22):
You should be a bit more careful about what you
leave in the bathroom. Your younger brother is in there
all the time for like hours on end. At least
keep these things private. To be frank with you, I
didn't believe it what I first saw. These things are
so much bigger than I remember. Anyways, take an easy camp.
You're not training for the Olympics. Let's keep the bathroom
a family friendly space. And don't worry. I won't tell mom.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
So everybody knows that. Everybody knows. I mean, I did
not know that that was a thing, but I'm going
to have to start using it. Anyway. That is a
very clever way to now, you know.
Speaker 22 (44:04):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Anyway, moving on, we need to talk about some of
the executive orders and decisions that the Trump administration has
recently made that is causing a lot of consternation, not
just on the left but also on the right. And
one of those executive orders was a year potentially of
(44:26):
jail time for burning the American flag. Here is Trump
signing the order.
Speaker 5 (44:32):
The penalty is going.
Speaker 22 (44:33):
To be, if you burn a flag, you get one
year in jail, No early exits, no nothing. You get
one year in jail. If you bear a flag, you
get And what it does is insight to write out.
They use that language the way insite to write. And
you burn a flag, you get one year in jail.
You don't get ten years, you don't get one month.
(44:55):
You get one year in jail, and it goes on
your record.
Speaker 3 (44:59):
And you will.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
Okay, well here here's the thing. So Hillary Clinton wanted
to do this back in two thousand things, yeah, right, but.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
We have that, okay.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
Burge is pretty clear that it doesn't criminalize burning the
American flag. Really, I mean it like it doesn't. Here's
because it says, the quote is, my administration will act
to restore respect and sanctity to the American Flag and
prosecute those who incite violence or otherwise violate our laws
while desecrating this symbol of our country to the fullest
(45:30):
extent permissible under any available authority. That's what it says.
Because people and people were like, well, who makes the
determination of whether or not they were trying to incite violence?
To which I answer, okay, well, who determined that the
people standing outside on the lawn on January sixth. We're
trying to incite violence, you know, and a lot of
those people ended up in jail.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
So there's a lot of reason to be both uncomfortable
with this and also not uncomfortable. Like I'm completely I
there's nothing I would rather do less than burn a
flag like it hurts my heart every time I see it.
(46:14):
But it's one of those things that has long been
decided by the Supreme Court who said this is part
of the freedom of speech, and the freedom of speech
that needs to be protected most is what we hate.
And so yes, the executive order has some workarounds, but
and there were some immediate reactions that people were just
like losing their shit without reading the executive order, to
(46:35):
your point, so they were assuming the worst without actually
understanding the nuance. But even the nuance is questionable, and
so we'll have a lot of different reaction and then
you guys can certainly decide. Emily's the naughty who's a lawyer,
a constitutional lawyer, as a matter of fact, said in
response to Eric Doherty, who was just kind of breaking
the news that he was going to sign this order,
(46:57):
and Emily said, yeah, that's going to get struck down. Immediately,
and to which this fellow William Teach replied, yes, it will,
but it will put Democrats on the defensive of supporting
flag burning, which is an interesting angle. But her response
to that was to simply say, except, that's not why
Trump does anything. He's not playing forty chess. He wants
(47:19):
to throw red meat to people and then pretend that
the courts are the bad guys for striking down an
edict that was never actually legal for him to make.
It's conservative judges that defended flag burning. So again, the
immediate reaction to this by the right was like fury,
a lot of fury. Robbie so have said Scalia in
(47:42):
defense of the right to burn the American flag. If
it were up to me, I would put in jail
every sandal wearing, scruffy bearded weirdo who burns the American flag.
But I am not king. He was part of the
majority decision in Texas versus Johnson that upheld flag burning
is part of our First Amendment rights. Jesse Kelly just
(48:02):
not having any part of it. He said, I would
never in a million years harm the American flag. But
a president telling me I can't has me as close
as I'll ever be to lighting one on fire. I
am a free American citizen, and if I ever feel
like torching one, I will. This is garbage, But to
(48:23):
your point, back in the day, this was something that
Hillary even said we should reconsider.
Speaker 12 (48:30):
So I hope, mister President, that we can pass a
law that criminalizes flag burning and desecration.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
I agree that this burning, this desecration that can happen to.
Speaker 12 (48:42):
Our flag is something that people have a right to
ask this body to try to prohibit and prevent it.
Speaker 1 (48:55):
Yeah, I here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (48:58):
I think it's really weird that it burns a Pride
flag can be a hate crime, But then burning an
American flag is not.
Speaker 1 (49:05):
Well And that's a whole other thing, right, because hate
crime legislation is wrong on every on like the face
of it, in every way, it is absolutely wrong, but
it still exists. And consistency, right, there's no consistency.
Speaker 2 (49:20):
So if I go out and I burn a Pride flag,
I could go to jail for that because it.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
Is decided that you're doing it in a way that
like is directly contributing to hate crime.
Speaker 2 (49:31):
Sure well, as a conservative influencer, if somebody could infer
that you know, so I could go to jail for that,
But if I burn an American flag is totally okay.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
I find that to be abhorrent. I think that that
is ridiculous. I do well. And that's the thing is
that his EO doesn't touch that. It doesn't touch the
hate crime aspect, which is so stupid and it and
it has put people in prison for you know, like
people are all up in arms about like the cross
(50:00):
in front of Pulse Nightclub being painted over because it
had the Rainbow flag on it, and like people have
gotten in trouble in the past for well for covering
up or like driving over or painting over whatever, you know,
gay pride flags. Because it ends up being considered a
hate crime. It's so demining. It's not that it doesn't
(50:20):
cover it.
Speaker 2 (50:21):
But like the passage that I read where it says,
you know that they're they're going to try to prosecute
those who incite who are doing it to incite violence
or otherwise violate our laws while desecrating the flag.
Speaker 1 (50:36):
I feel like that is to me, that's hateful, that's hate.
Speaker 2 (50:40):
Like if it's kind of like if you are any
other hate crimes are just so stupid. The whole notion
of hate crimes are stupid. That's a whole other discussion.
But I think that it's inferred there in that quote.
It's like, if you're doing it, if you're burning a
flag to incite violence and get people all riled up.
I don't know how you approve that, but that's what
they're trying to say. If you're doing it, like on
(51:01):
a college campus, to be like let's all like go,
let's you know, take over this building or whatever. I
think that's what they're trying to say.
Speaker 1 (51:08):
That this is they are, So I just don't know
if they're doing it. I don't think it's going to
hold up, but maybe it will. I don't know. I mean,
maybe their language is nuanced enough, and we'll get into
some of the specifics of the language in a bit.
A libertarian account said, this executive order to criminalize as
debt on arrival. It is plainly unconstitutional. The courts will
enjoin it all the way up. Burning the flag is
(51:29):
abhorrent and unpatriotic, but it is free speech. Such an
EO is also bad politics because libertarians make up a
necessary part of Trump's base, which is fair. Brit Hume
also mentioned that George H. W. Bush ran against flag
burning in nineteen eighty eight and spent a whole week
campaigning on that issue, but he called for constitutional amendment
(51:51):
to ban the practice. He didn't pretend that he could
ban it by an executive order. That flies in the
face of constitutional speech protections. Come on, man, as well, Okay, well,
then what he.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
Should do is say, okay, well, if you can burn
the American flag, then you can burn the Pride flag,
you can burn the d this flag, you can burn that,
you can burn all the flags. Make them all equal,
equal opportunity flag burning. But there shouldn't be you know,
like this flag because it's you know, gay sex flags.
We can't burn those flags, but we can burn the American.
Speaker 14 (52:23):
Like what is that?
Speaker 1 (52:24):
I don't know. The consistency is the problem. There's no consistency.
It's so stupid. Yeah, misfit patriot wing in saying not
a fan. This is a slippery slope. That being said,
I'm fine with the law that applies to arson or
public safety on setting a fire in a public place
during a protest, but that would apply to any flag.
If you buy an American flag with your own money,
burn it in a controlled setting like your backyard, et cetera,
(52:46):
that is one hundred percent constitutional. One of the loudest
critics about this no matter, and he read the full
executive order in depth, was Matt Tayebi, who simply said
this is effing stupid in response to the Executive Order
text on the White House's website, and then he responded
to people who were coming after him, one person saying,
(53:09):
you know what, I'll allow it. It's no longer stupid
because if you can go to prison for years for
doing a burnout on an LGBTQ flag, or prison for
being against Israel, screw it. And Matt's response was, the
solution to bad laws about LGBTQ flags is to fight
those laws, not make matching dumb ones in the direction.
That was my point. Yeah, that was my point. So
(53:31):
somebody else said it's important to read the EO. Burning
the flag does not result in jail. It's only if
you're doing it to incite violence, and Matt said, I
did read it. I actually think that's worse. It's a
backdoor way to get to speech policing by describing flag
burning as an element of the crime when it isn't
sore are there's some there's some danger to even the
(53:53):
way that the EO is written. But Erickson made a
great point saying that this EO isn't legal, but it
will get the Democrats to go all out and burn
American flags yet again, putting them on the twenty percent
side of an eighty twenty issue, which is maybe true,
but it's actually more people on the right that have
(54:13):
a problem with this. In fact, I think there and
I don't know his political persuasion, but already in front
of the White House yesterday as this was being signed,
a veteran went to like a sidewalk right across the
street from the White House and started burning the American
flag in protest, saying, I thought to have my right
to do this and this this tyrant cannot take this
(54:36):
away from me. And he was immediately arrested because it's
a legal to burn a flag on public property. So,
I mean, the legality of the flag burning wasn't even
the issue. It was you're not you can't burn anything
in that spot that you were burning things in, you
know what I mean, right, yeah, I do. So it
wasn't it wasn't so much about the flag.
Speaker 2 (54:55):
It was like if he burned a pamphlet there exactly
exactly can't do that there. So it's like, dude, you're
not making a great point, okay, because you're gonna get
arrested no matter what.
Speaker 1 (55:05):
So what are you doing?
Speaker 13 (55:06):
Right? I do?
Speaker 2 (55:06):
I do really like this comment from seven to seventeen
you mofo, which is if you burn the Jamaican flag,
you get high. I think that was a wonderful contribution
to this morning's discussion. And I just bring it all
back to where we are here on the Chicks on
the Right show, which is, you know what I don't like?
(55:27):
I said, I think it just needs to be consistent,
be consistent. Yeah, now, and it's not consistent. So that's
why it pisses me off. It pisses me off about
the Pride flags. And then it's like, what they're not special,
you know what I mean? And they're definitely not more
special than just regular everyday Americans.
Speaker 1 (55:44):
So what are we doing? It's just as well, that's
the question, like why are we focusing on our why
are we focusing on this and not doing a way
with some of the more idiotic, you know, ridiculous hate
crimes that are in place anyway. Lots of messages trying
to clear it up, but then fire who I trust?
(56:05):
I mean, this is an organization. They are the foundation
for individual rights and expression. They're saying. President Trump may
believe he has the power to revise the First Amendment
with the stroke of a pen, but he doesn't. Flag
burning is a form of political protest is protected by
the First Amendment. That's nothing new. While people can be
prosecuted for burning anything in a place, they aren't allowed
to set fires. The government cannot prosecute protective expressive activity
(56:29):
even if many Americans, including the President, find it quote
uniquely offensive and provocative. You don't have to like it.
You can condemn it, debated, or hoist your own flag
even higher. The beauty of free speech is that you
get to express your opinions even if others don't like
what you have to say. And so I think that's
the crux of it, right. It's provocative, It gets the
(56:50):
people going. It's provocative, and so too is something that's
going on in your home state, and that is that
Ken Paxton has declared that the Ten Commandments are going
to be required to be displayed in public schools, which
I just think is bananas and asking for trouble. And
(57:11):
I don't know why this is happening, but your mileage
may vary. This is your state to allow. Then you're
going to have to allow like Satan's you know whatever.
You're going to have to allow other religious information to
be in schools when this is supposed to be separate, separate.
I think this is a terrible idea. I think there's
(57:32):
going to be so many lawsuits and I just think
this is asking for trouble.
Speaker 21 (57:37):
I know it is.
Speaker 1 (57:39):
It used to not be. I think that's why.
Speaker 2 (57:41):
I mean, I'm literally I'm trapped in like you know,
nineteen twenty six when people didn't fight this shit.
Speaker 6 (57:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (57:49):
Yeah, it's like I hate I mean, I would love
to see the Ten Commandments everywhere. It's just that people
in Houston are like, bring on Sharia law, okay, whatever,
to each your whatever. I just I just yeah, yeah,
(58:09):
And I don't think. Here's the weird thing is that
John Cornyn and I know a lot of people are
super you know, they don't like John Cornyan right now.
He went after Ken Paxton personally about this in a
way that I just thought was like crossing a line
because he basically said, uh, you might want to brush
up on the Ten Commandments Ken because he's been accused
(58:30):
of adultery and all the things. So I was like, guikes,
that's blow the belt, damn. I mean, it is one
nation under God. Somebody said that it is to me
it is, So there's that, and it's not one nation
under Allah or whatever else. So it's true. People will
(58:52):
come after me for that. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (58:56):
We wish it wouldn't bother me. It wouldn't bother me.
My kid is a Christian, it wouldn't bother her. She
would be like, Oh, that's cool. Ten Commandments, you know
what I mean. Yeah, there are gonna be people who
are super butt hurt and they're like, I.
Speaker 1 (59:08):
Can't take it. This is so terrible. It's basically telling
you to be nice to people and not too bad things. O. God,
they can't you know, you can't so can't handle it.
They can't handle that. So yeah, it's probably gonna Yeah,
you're right, people will fight it arable. And then there's
(59:31):
another whole issue that has people on the right a
little ogged out, and I feel I'm totally on the
fence about this particular issue, and that is I don't
know if you guys have heard that. Now the United
States US taxpayers, we are part owners of Intel. So
now the government has a ten percent stake in a
(59:52):
private company.
Speaker 4 (59:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (59:54):
Trump tweeted about this yesterday, saying I paid zero for Intel.
It is worth approximately eleven billion dollars. All of it
goes to the USA. Why are stupid people unhappy with that?
I'll make deals like that for a country all day long.
I will also help those companies that make such lucrative
deals with the US States. I love seeing their stock
price go up, making the USA richer and richer, more
(01:00:16):
jobs for America. Who wouldn't want to make deals like that?
And it's not going to be the only company that
we are apparently going to be owners of, according to Axios,
the government plans to take stakes in more companies, according
to a top Trump advisor.
Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
So.
Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
This, by the way, was something that Bernie Sanders and
Elizabeth Warren have been promoting for years. Wood So are
we okay with the government taking ownership of private companies?
Isn't that something that we have long said is a
bad thing.
Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
As long as it's not our company, I don't really
give a shit As long as it's not ours?
Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
Do we not give a shit about government.
Speaker 13 (01:01:03):
Owners?
Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
I'm joking, I I joke, I jest. I'm just like
I don't want them. I don't want them having a
hand in ours. They already have enough of a hand
because they tax this at it's such an obscene rate,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
But this is it's a little weird. It's a little weird.
It's a little weird. Now I'll tell you why I
ended up feeling better about it somewhat in a moment.
But again, we'll show you some immediate reaction from some
folks that we quote quite often on the show, ag saying,
this is a terrible idea. The people cheering it on
will inevitably come to regret it when it's a Democrat
(01:01:36):
administration using their stakes to dictate how these companies should behave.
And then, as you might expect, Rand Paul absolutely losing
his mind over this, saying, if socialism is government owning
the means of production, wouldn't the government owning part of
intel be a step towards socialism? Terrible idea. Let's see,
(01:01:58):
then we have some explo nations which started to make
me feel better sort of this was just a general
explanation saying that the Trump administration is in talks and
this has already happened to secure a ten percent stake
in Intel in exchange for converting government grants that were
already pledged to Intel under Joe Biden. So, in other words,
(01:02:20):
Intel was already getting this money as a handout thanks
to Joe Biden. And I don't even know how much
it was billions. They were getting a handout, kind of
like we bailed out the auto industry back in two
thousand and eight and then we lost as taxpayers a
shit ton of money. This grant is going to Intel regardless.
And now what Trump is doing is saying that's not okay,
(01:02:42):
We're not just going to give it to you. We
want to have a stake so that taxpayers make money
when y'all make money. So America makes money when y'all
make money, And so sounds that's great. So that actually
is a really good thing. Yeah, look at it that way.
That sounded better to me because the fact is the
money was going to them anyway. Why shouldn't we get
(01:03:04):
a cut, so to speak, as to a country, So
do we get dividend checks? I don't know that it
works that way, but it's that America's coffers continue to
get the benefit and we hopefully get taxed less as
a result, right, Which, Yeah, if it ultimately works out
that way and my taxes go down, then this is
(01:03:25):
a win win, right, And it's and you know Howard
Lutnik said, the government, the government has no intention of
getting in the business of Intel's business. They're not going
to have voting rights, They're not going to have voting shares.
But there is some concern that this is a slippery slope, right,
And so I'm on the fence about it. I'm interested
(01:03:46):
to see how it all works out. The grant part
makes me feel better about it, and so too did
the older millennials take on this whole thing. Here he
is responding to Crassenstein freaking out about it.
Speaker 17 (01:03:59):
They really do be post shit like the rest of
us aren't paying attention or don't even have access to Google.
Trump posted on true Social I paid zero for Intel.
It is worth approximately eleven billion dollars and oh, ed
Krassenstein here said, Hey, groc is it true the US
paid nothing for their stake in Intel? That's not what
Trump said. Trump said, I paid zero for Intel, talking
about the ten percent equity stake that the American people
(01:04:20):
now have in the company Intel. See, because Biden gave
them seven and a half billion dollars, and he gave
it to him as a grant. We weren't getting that
money back. We were just giving Intel seven and a
half billion dollars and getting fucking nothing for it. And
Trump said, no, let's convert that to an equity stake,
you know, because the American people deserve to get their
fucking money back. And now that ten percent stake is
(01:04:41):
worth eleven billion. So President Biden just gave them seven
and a half billion of our dollars with no expectations,
no requirements.
Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
No payback.
Speaker 17 (01:04:50):
Trump said, fuck that, he said, I want equity stake.
And because he did that, not only have the American
people recouped all the money we gave to Intel, but
we also.
Speaker 3 (01:04:58):
Made an additional three and a half billion.
Speaker 17 (01:05:01):
Biden gives our money away, and Trump not only gets
our money back but makes us more. And liberals are
fucking complaining about it. Yeah, fucking stupid. You have to
be to be mad at a president for making you
three and a half billion dollars. Oh wait, No, I
know how stupid you got to be. You got to
be a crescence tea.
Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
Yeah, and you have to be somebody who's like, I
want more crime. I love crime. I love crime at illegals.
Speaker 6 (01:05:25):
Woo.
Speaker 17 (01:05:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
I think my preference would have just been And obviously
it's too late because Biden already wrote the check. But
it would be great if we just stopped giving these
companies grants. Why are we doing that? If the company
can't survive on its own, that's the company's problem, and
they need to get a business, right, why are we
giving them money? You're right, ma, because that is the
free market. Yeah. If you can't make it, you can't
(01:05:50):
make it. Touch it.
Speaker 24 (01:05:52):
Bye.
Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
I know that, and that's what happens to small businesses.
But once you get to a certain level, it's like
they're like, we need help from Americans. Think small businesses
are getting help from Americans.
Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
No, we get screwed.
Speaker 15 (01:06:06):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
It's like I just all the middle fingers, all of them. Yep,
that's the thing. And so I wish it didn't have
to be this way. I wish that this equity stake
wasn't even a thing. But because of Biden, I feel
like well, I guess this is as good of a
deal as we can get.
Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
And I right, at least we're at least we're making
some money back. Like he's like, fine, go ahead, and
then we're gonna we're gonna get money back with interest, right,
Like that's I guess you're right.
Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
I guess. I just I hate all of it. And
I got to say, you know, I love Trump, but
I am sick and tired of executive orders, Like all
of these are just they can be wiped out with
the second that a new president gets into office. Everything
that he's done via executive order is shut down. And
I just hate that. I don't like.
Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
Yeah, like a lot, it needs to be done in
a legislative way, so they stick, right, I hear you.
Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
All right, let's move on to the topic of foreign
kids like being allowed into our universities. It's happening at
rates that are simply unacceptable. I'm not sure who this
woman is, but she's on was it News Nation or
Real American News anyway? I think yeah, is it Real
American News anyway. She's talking about the number of foreign
(01:07:29):
students and the fact that we are paying for them,
which is infuriating nine.
Speaker 25 (01:07:35):
Percent of college age Americans that's between eighteen and twenty
four even go to colleges and universities. And this is
because it is not affordable to them.
Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
And the kicker is.
Speaker 25 (01:07:48):
They are paying with their hard earned money. They are
paying for specialized admissions processes to let international students according
to a criteria completely unaffiliated with America. In addition to
the fact that these schools are pretty much all need blind,
(01:08:08):
that means there is no such thing as international students
having to pay full price. Tax payers subsidize this. They
get the exact same financial aid benefits as American citizens.
So Americans get screwed twice, first for paying for the
specialized admissions process and then for paying for this financial
(01:08:30):
aid to be lavished on international students. And quite frankly,
now we see many of the best and brightest, according
to the Left, are actually criminals and supporters of Islamist terror.
Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
Quote this makes me crazy, mock, and we are we
are in the throes now of looking for colleges for
our daughter, our youngest daughter, I swear, And she wants
to be an engineer, you guys, so she's got to
go to college. Okay, that's just the way that it is,
and so we're looking and she wants to be a swimmer,
so we're looking for that too. It narrows it down.
Speaker 1 (01:09:03):
And some of these schools, I tell you, like I'm
looking at the stats, like when you look around, you
can tell there's a lot of foreign students.
Speaker 19 (01:09:10):
It just is.
Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
That's not me being like xenophobic or racist. You can
just tell, Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
And then on top of that, you look at the
data from in two thousand and three, two thousand and four,
the US had about half a million students that were foreigners.
Right by twenty twenty three, it was over one point
two million. Okay, that's a lot more. Okay, it's doubled,
it's doubled. And then you start looking at sports, because
(01:09:36):
this is what we look at. We look at like
swimming rosters. You look at swimming rosters, like just in
men alone, okay, I'm not even talking about the women.
But in NCAA Division one D one schools, approximately fourteen
percent of both men's and women's swimming and diving athletes
are international. So like in D two, it's fifteen percent
(01:09:58):
of male, twelve percent of female.
Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
Well that is a lot. That's a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
So when you look at these rosters, you're looking at
like sometimes a third of the roster is foreign, and
so that keeps your kid off of a roster when
you're looking and you're like, wait, that kind of sucks,
and that actually skews us for like where we're going
to pick because I don't want to go. I don't
want my kid to go to a school where they're
picking like a third or a half of their roster
(01:10:24):
as foreign students, because I don't think that that's fair.
I don't think it's fair to American kids, and especially
if we're we're funding that, you know what I mean, right,
it's crazy. Yeah, So this, I mean, this is alarming
to me that we're you're looking because what are they doing?
Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
Are they Why are they're here?
Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
Obviously because they want a really good education and they
can't get an education in their shiitthole countries?
Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
Okay, I get that. But also, there are plenty of
universities across the globe.
Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
It's true, It's true there are, but I think we
we have the most reputable and like you know, we've
got the Ivy's a lot of these kids want to
go to these great schools and from an engineering standpoint,
because I'm all just use that as an example. We
have some of the top engineering schools in the world.
That's where they want to go, right, and they bring diversity.
So these colleges want to bring these students in, right,
(01:11:15):
and they often pay full tuition.
Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
For these kids.
Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
That's what they'll do, especially at private schools or public
universities where like international tuition is higher. It's also a
pathway to immigration, so they'll get here and then they
use that as a as a method as a means
to become citizens if they choose to do that. So
it's like, I guess it's what what is it? The
US study v's is like the F one. It's a
(01:11:40):
clear pathway to employment and then eventual immigration, and this
is what people are doing. So I just I'm not
a fan because a lot of American kids who want
those spots, whether it be academic, sports or both. It's
it's hindering American kids from getting those spots.
Speaker 1 (01:12:00):
Of course. I mean it literally is you know, taking
out for as many foreign students that come in, that's
one less American citizen who's got shot.
Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
And it's affecting the finances too. It's making it more
expensive for American kids to go to school, and that
bothers me.
Speaker 1 (01:12:17):
That also bothers me. Not okay, it's not okay, which
is why it was a bit of a disappointment to
hear from Trump that he plans to keep right on
doing it, specifically with China. So you're going to hear
what he said in his office during I think this
was like with the South Korean president. It was during
that Q and A portion. And then you're going to
(01:12:38):
hear Laura Ingram asking Howard Lutnik about this because she's mad.
I'm mad, you're mad. Everybody's mad about this, and Howard
doesn't have a particularly good response. But anyway, you're gonna
hear Trump, and then you're gonna hear that exchange to China.
Speaker 22 (01:12:54):
It's a very important relationship. As you know, we're taking
a lot of money and from it because of the
tariffs and the different things, and it's a very important relationship.
We're going to get along good with China. I hear
so many stories about we're not going to allow their students,
so we're going to allow their students.
Speaker 18 (01:13:11):
To come in.
Speaker 22 (01:13:12):
We're going to allow It's very important. Six hundred thousand students.
Speaker 9 (01:13:15):
It's very important, mister secretary, with all due respect, how
is allowing six hundred thousand students from the communist country
of China putting America first.
Speaker 24 (01:13:28):
Well, the President's point of view is that what would
happen if you didn't have those six hundred thousand students
is that you'd emptied them from the top. All the
students would go up to better schools, and the bottom
fifteen percent of universities and colleges we'd go out of
business in America. So his view is he's taking much
a rational economic view, which is classic Donald Trump looking
(01:13:52):
at higher education saying, but why until we modify that that.
Speaker 26 (01:13:56):
Just hows Harvard and UCLA and U Cal Berkeley, and
you're all help in those schools. Why they're like, you know,
vasually factories of anti American propaganda. Now they're getting a
big influx of cash because of the Chinese students. I mean,
I know President Trump has always been very pro Chinese student.
I just don't understand it for the life of me.
(01:14:18):
Those are six hundred thousand spots that American kids won't get.
Speaker 24 (01:14:21):
Well, I'll tell you what I'm involved. I'm involved in
changing the h one b program. Right, We're going to
change that program because that's terrible, right, I.
Speaker 9 (01:14:30):
Think we are American engineering students need to be given
the first role at every job, and I think they're
brilliant when given half a chance.
Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
And then she said goodbye, like that was the end
of the interview.
Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
Okay, Well, I'm glad that she at least like stood
up for the whole America, because it's not America first
to run a bunch of Chinese students in here and
take the.
Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
Job six hundred thousand bullshit. It is absolute as absolute
hogwash that it's not okay and Chinese? Are we kidding
our Come on, I just I don't. It was just
a very odd day for people on the right right
(01:15:08):
yesterday because there were just so many things that this
administration was doing that were like what what do you do?
Speaker 17 (01:15:15):
Well?
Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
That was definitely not that's not okay, because I mean
I have I have a personal stake in that right now.
And then the whole six hundred thousand Chinese students, especially
in a lot of them are in the engineering in
the medical fields.
Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
No, not okay, it's just not okay. So anyway, all right,
we do have a thank you from a couple from today,
but actually, let me get to the ones from yesterday first.
Shelley Rodriguez said. Preston Myers had an informative TikTok about
(01:15:48):

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
Cynthia Elie said, I love how jd isn't just a placekeeper.

N said, good morning from Arizona, starting my birthday off
with the chicks. Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday. Fellow Virgo Judy
(01:16:29):
Flood said Cracker Barrel should not have gone woke. I mean,
you would think that they would know that at this point,
but they don't seem to. Oh Suki said. Cracker Barrel
issued a note to customers acknowledging criticism of its recent
rebranding and new logo, admitting, yeah, like so we already
read that whole thing. They've seen the mistake they made,
but are not interested in setting things right and saying
(01:16:49):
they're still interested in family. Woke isn't family oriented and
we're not falling for their bowl all right now?
Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
You n me okay, Marcy Parilla, It's good morning, Happy Tuesday.
So happy to be part of the Cotr family. Y'all
are the best, Love you all.
Speaker 1 (01:17:04):
Thank you, Marcy.
Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
Btk twelve thirteen. If Dems have no plan, that should
alert us to a fix.
Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
Yes, we move this over.
Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
Hold on stroke, Jen Tampon, Tim calling Trump a manchild
is rich. They don't know how to troll. It will
backfire like everything else they've ever tried. You don't copy
people you hate unless you are insane and jealous.
Speaker 1 (01:17:26):
So there is that that is true.
Speaker 2 (01:17:29):
Terry Ray next sixty seventy. As a retired member of
the usn I'm assuming is that navy, US Navy must be.
I never want to see a flag burned, However, it
is a right we have as citizens. What I never
want to see is protests where the US flag is
torn down to replace it with any other flag.
Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
I agreed, and is illegal because that's that's somebody else's property.
You don't get to tear that down. Yep, that's right,
Ed Ferguson. It's already a crime.
Speaker 2 (01:18:02):
Look up eighteen US Code seven hundred desecration of the
Flag of the United States. Penalties impunishable by a fine
and one year in jail. Okay, Jose Texas. Fifteen morning
from Texas, head to Central Texas and so for the
cracker and the barrel are still on the signage.
Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
Shout out to all the crackers out there, Daisy, I
waved as I passed by. Wacout, just take my wad high,
Josey D Media. I'm publishing.
Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
Am I the only one who's extremely annoyed by the
idea of burning our flag being part of freedom of speech.
Where's the speaking. It's literally burning the symbol of a
nation that has draped over the coffin of soldiers who
gave their lives defending it.
Speaker 1 (01:18:39):
Sick.
Speaker 19 (01:18:40):
I hate it too.
Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
I hate it.
Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
It's discussing those people suck in every single way. Brian
Bromley won the founding family of Create I guess Cracker Barrel,
including the real Uncle Herschel. We're faithful members of the
Lord's Church and now they are destroying the company DNA
just to be accepted.
Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
By the spirit of the age. Yeah, there's a lot
of that that goes around, you know. It's awful. Ohsuki
just sent another tip, saying I only came on a
few minutes ago, so I'll have to watch later.
Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
Okay, Hi, Hi Sui Hi, Okay, you guys were bringing
it in, but I don't think we have anything else
we're bringing it in.
