Speaker 3 (01:40):
All right, good morning and welcome to the show. Happy Thursday.
I don't know about you anybody else getting the worst
and worst puffy eyes from all of the allergies that
are going around here in the North Florida area. My goodness, Like,
if you're watching right now you would think I haven't
slept in a week because I've got like the baggies
underneath the eyes because my eyes are so full of

(02:01):
all the h Anyhow, welcome to the show. Thanks so
much for checking us out today. I hope you're having
a fantastic Thursday. One more day to go until the weekend?
Uh the left man? Oh look, you know what, I
was watching a video where somebody was kind of going
into more of the details about the whole White House

(02:23):
being demolished and they're destroying the White House. You know
what I really want to do is I want to
go and slap the media. I want to line up
the media in like this really long line and with
a Louisville slugger, just not swinging it, just holding it
and just walk down the line just to words matter.

(02:48):
You know. One of the things that I've even jumped
on some of our local media on a lot of
their Facebook posts because I see some of the way
that they post the headlines and then you look at
the headline and go, that is to do with the
dang story. What are you doing? What are you talking
about the media? As this person was kind of highlighting
in the video and justifiably, there we go. Here comes

(03:13):
the fleam too, about how the media is taking the
story about the White House and riling people up, Like
I've seen some of my liberal friends on social media
who are just beside themselves, not to mention other people
that are just absolutely beside themselves about how Donald Trump

(03:35):
is destroying the White House. Now I've actually looked into
it a little bit further, and apparently now the confirmation
of this is hard to really tell, because even Donald
Trump has said some things that are kind of conflicting
a little bit. But apparently it's not the entire East
wing that's coming down. It's just a portion of it

(03:57):
that is coming down in order to make room for
the ballroom and basically the extension that's coming on there.
But as you watch this and watch the social media
the way they're using the words, they're destroying the White House.
I mean, first off, the White House complex is kind
of a big complex. The White House itself, the actual

(04:22):
residence portion of it really is not that big, but
when you add all the other stuff onto it, you know,
it increases the size. And when you also look at
the location of where the East wing is, the east
means not even like right up against the actual residence
section of the main portion of it. But every time

(04:42):
you turn around, it's another one of these propagandas or
the media that is just they're overdoing it. Now, what's
really going on? Now? The Washington Post may have actually
got this right. Their headline was demolition crews have begun
tearing down part of the White House to build President
Trump's long desired ballroom, despite his pledge that construction of

(05:07):
the two hundred and fifty million dollars edition won't interfere
with the existing building. Now, again, the things that are
being told, and who knows how much of this is true,
because at this point we just have to stand back
and watch because nobody's given a straight answer. Apparently it's
not the entire East Wing, it's a portion of it.
You know, they would be adding on to it. You know,

(05:28):
it is a construction project. It is a renovation project.
And as so many people now have started pointing out
all of the different renovation projects that have happened. And
of course I got into an argument with a liberal
about the the fact that Truman. President Truman gutted the

(05:50):
White House, like literally gutted it. The only thing that
was left within the White House was the roof and
the walls, even the wind came out. And rather than
kind of accepting the fact that, yes, the White House
over the centuries has gone through renovations, gone through modernizations,

(06:14):
no turns around and argues the fact that Truman had,
how Truman had and why Truman had done the renovation.
And for those that know the story, you know it
was because it was basically rotting and falling apart. It
was all the old wood, the original wood was falling apart.

(06:35):
The final nail in the coffin was when his daughter's
piano fell through the floor and it decided, Okay, it's
got to be done. And the argument that I get
back on it was, well, it was crucial. It was
crucial that it had to happen, all right, Well, what
about all the other renovations. What about Obama's basketball court?

(06:58):
Was that necessary? Because Donald Trump and Joe Biden they
don't play basketball, so that wasn't necessary. And really the
basketball court was to benefit Barack Obama so that he
could go and play basketball. So it has no benefit
to the American people whatsoever. So should we have been
outraged by the fact that Barack Obama had put in

(07:22):
a basketball court and had to tear up the tennis courts.
Should we be upset about that? Should we be upset
about all of the underground facilities that have been put
into the White House. And of course I brought that
up with this liberal too and had to argue that
one back. Sure, the media is framing this, and I

(07:42):
hate this, and I keep mentioning this every time that
I see a media post when they call it Trump's ballroom.
It's not Trump's ballroom. Yes Trump wants to do it,
Yes Trump is paying for it. It is the ballroom
for the White House. It is the White House's ballroom.

(08:04):
And just like the the I guess you'd call them
the ballrooms, the rooms that they use now for dinners
and functions and stuff, which is just tiny. It is
something that is used for the American people. Now. Granted,
most of us are never going to get invited to
a function at the White House, we know that, but

(08:27):
the function of those rooms is also to entertain world leaders,
to help benefit things here in America. Now with a
ballroom that is being added to be much larger, to
be much more modern, and it will be pretty However,
I will say this, It's probably gonna be over gaudy

(08:47):
with gold. It probably really will, And it would not
surprise me at all if the next president doesn't tone
down the amount of gold in the White House. I
love Donald Trump at all, but his affection for gold
is a little in the gaudy side. I mean, look
at his penthouse in Trump Tower in New York City.
It's as if a gold mine threw up the Oval Office.

(09:11):
I'm not a fan of Donald Trump's Oval Office. I
think those tacky as all hell with all the gold
in it. But you know what, it's his office. A
lot of deal he wants to do while he's in
the office. It's going to change. But this is something
that will benefit America. It will benefit future presidents. And
they are turning it into the biggest scandal in the world.

(09:33):
And of course why are they turning it into the
biggest scandal in the world right now, Well, because we're
in daneber twenty three of the second longest government shutdown.
That is because of the Democrats. You know how the
government loves to do this. They love to find the distractions,
especially the Democrats. They love to find that distraction. And

(09:56):
they've got nothing else because there's really nothing else going on.
So the only thing that they've got now is, Oh
my god, let's be upset about the White House. Let's
talk about this. Use the word destroyed, and Donald Jump
is destroying America because he's putting a ballroom in with
his own money. Oh god, the horror. Hey what about

(10:17):
the shutdown? Yeah, but the ballroom in the East wing.
It's so bad? Oh god, don't you see how horrible
it is? No, I don't. Actually, I mean my question
that I always say when it comes to anything the
government does that I don't care if it's a sidewalk.
Do not build it unless you can maintain it. That
is my thing. Don't build it unless you can maintain it.

(10:39):
Other than that, build a damn thing. But let's also
talk about that shutdown. No, we can't. It's just so
bad right now that the White House is being destroyed.
Donald Jump is tearing it down. Don't you understand how
horrible this is? Now? None of us do. We really don't.

(11:00):
But again, this is what what the left does. They
try to distract us with anything that they possibly can.
And this is the dumbest thing because they realize that
they've lost this war on the healthcare thing because it's
been exposed that you'll lie to us about illegals getting
access to healthcare and being paid for on our dime.

(11:22):
So people are mad at you about that. You have
thousands of government workers now that are kind of going, hey,
the Republicans keep voting for this, and that we've voted
now like twelve or thirteen times, I think to reopen
the government. And every single Republican says, yes, let's reopen
the government at the same spending levels that we did
with Joe Biden. Let's open it back up. And every

(11:44):
well not every but almost every Democrat goes no, it's
the Democrat's fault. So now they're trying to cover this up,
they're trying to hide it, and they're not doing a
very good job. But there also doesn't seem to be
much of an end in sight for the government shut down,
which again is now the second longest one. The longest
one was thirty five days, and uh yeah, well, we'll

(12:07):
not to see what happens, but it doesn't look good.
But again it's the distraction. The only thing that they've
got to distract us on is the White House and
how Donald Trump is destroying it and America. And then
the question that I've got now is what's going to
be the next distraction, What's gonna be the next wine fest?

(12:27):
Because everybody's coming out now and talking about all of
the presidents that have done adjustments, modernizations, expansions, demolitions to
the White House, their argument is falling apart again. They
really need to get a life they do. Just get
the damn work done. That's all we ask for. All Right,

(12:49):
we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back.
This is the Brian Rush Show and you're listening to
the Florida Man Radio Network. All right, welcome back to
the Brian Rush Show here on Florida Man Radio and

(13:10):
also streaming on Rumble dot com, Wimken dot com as well.
You know what, You're right, Hurricane Melissa will be the
next crisis, but that'll only last for for probably a
couple of minutes. It's probably not gonna do enough for
them to to really be all up said about it.
By the way, if you haven't paid attention to Hurricane Melissa,

(13:32):
don't really have too much to worry about at this
point unless you are in Haiti or Jamaica. That's that's
where it's gonna go. And right now it is expected
to buy sometime late Tomorrow night or early Saturday morning,
turn into an actual hurricane south of Jamaica. The projected

(13:56):
path that they've got for it right now is basically
to to hook a left, stay underneath Jamaica, and head
towards at this point towards Mexico and the peninsula there.
So we'll see what happens. I mean, it is one
of these things we always got to watch. It may dissipate,
it may turn into a hurricane, maybe a major hurricane

(14:17):
by Monday, going through the Jamaica area, and hopefully for
ours sake here in the US, that it either dies
out at that point or goes to Mexico. But it
is something to watch, and you're right, they'll probably make
it the next crisis, and then we're gonna have to
dump money into that, which we can't do because Donald

(14:40):
Trump won't reopen the government and the Republicans are horrible,
and you know, because of the fact that the Republicans
won't open the government, then that means that there's not
FEMA money that we can send down there to rescue
the you know, that's coming. The sad part about all
of this with our government is that you can pick
a scenario just random pick something. There's a fire, there's

(15:03):
an earthquake, there's a hurricane, there's a tropical storm, there's
a food shortage, or whatever it is, and you can
automatically just from the word hurricane and you go, Okay,
well here's the story. Because it happens over and over
and over again. Our government is so predictable. It's sad

(15:25):
how predictable they really truly are. Anyhow, what else we
got going on later on this morning? Michael Pack is
going to be joining us. He's a director and producer.
He's got a new documentary out called The Last six
hundred Meters. It's a documentary on the Iraq War. We're
going to talk to him coming up in our number
three of the show, and in the meantime, anybody's seen this.

(15:50):
I My question is how much more before you have
to admit it? How far off of a cliff do
you have to actually fall before you have to say,
you know what, I may have been a little too
close to that cliff? Do you have to hit the

(16:12):
ground before finally you go, oh, that wasn't a good idea.
Anybody see the story in California. It's happened out in Ontario, California,
where there is another truck driver that caused a fatal accident.
It was a fatal eight car accident, and once again
the truck driver is identified as an illegal alien from India.

(16:38):
Sound familiar. Wait a second, where did we get this story?
I think we got where is that story?

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Hang on?

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah, here it is Florida highway crash, illegal Indian truck
driver kills three people. At what point do you realize
you're falling off the cliff and say maybe we need
to do something about this. And it's like the left,
they come out and they defend all this. Oh my god, Well,

(17:05):
you know, we have to make sure that these people
have the jobs and they're just coming to work, and
it's no. These are people that have come into our
country illegally that are taking jobs away from Americans. Now, granted,
there are going to be some jobs that Americans don't
want to do, and then we could get foreigners to do,
and then we do need a lot more workers for

(17:26):
certain things, but these are not some of them. And
if you are going to provide somebody from another country
with a job here. Make sure they come here legally.
How are we going to trust somebody to legally do
things if they come here illegally. Let's start off right there.

(17:48):
But the suspected truck driver behind the eight car accident
that happened in Ontario, California now being identified as an
illegal alien from India, according to the US Immigration's Customs
Enforcement off and Fox News had revealed in a post
on x that multiple ICE sources had said that this
truck driver twenty one years old, who was allegedly behind

(18:10):
the wheel during the accident, left three people dead in
an alleged DUI crash or related crash. And I don't
know if you saw the the the dash cam on
this not good, not good at all. What's that, Ricky.

(18:31):
They'll be they'll be during the DMV and the state
real student. Yeah, you know, they probably will be suing.
And I think that the families of these victims should
sue the living hell out of the California DMV because,
by the way, second one from the California DMV, the

(18:53):
driver that we had here in California or in Florida,
was also one that was licensed from California. Now you
have a second one here illegally from India, licensed from California,
and now we have six people killed. How many more
people are the left willing to let die before they

(19:13):
finally realize that they're making a mistake with their ideas
and or their ideas with allowing these illegals to come
into this country, to allow these things to happen here
in this country. You know, we hear that line from
them all the time when it comes to school shootings.
How many more school shootings before you ban all the guns?

(19:35):
How many school shootings are you going to allow before
you finally say we need to address the mental health
issues behind the people who are doing the shootings. How
many more of our daughters, nieces, granddaughters, sisters, mothers and
others are are we going to allow to be raped, murdered,

(19:57):
you know, and beaten and stolen from and every else
before you finally wake up and say, maybe this wasn't
a good idea. But then again, when you really break
it all down, this is what the democrats need. They
need it and they want it. They need and want

(20:17):
the chaos so that they can keep people scared, so
that they can ride in on their white donkey and
be like a right here to save the day. We
just need to wake up more and more Americans to
understand that what they are doing to us is not
a good thing. Again, six people now have died because

(20:39):
of illegals driving trailer trucks. It's got to stop, really does.
And I think they should sue the California DMV. They
should sue the state of California for everything it's worth. Well.
I actually I guess that wouldn't be right because they're
not worth much anymore. Anyhow, we got to take a
break for the bottom of the hour. We will be
right back. This is the Brian Rush Show. All right,

(21:14):
welcome back to the Brian Rush Show here at Florida
Man Radio. Happy Thursday. Thanks for being part of our day,
or letting us be part of your day, or however
you want to look at it. I guess us being
part of your day is more like it son't again.
We stream the show and Rumble and Wimkin dot Com
and of course on the Florida Man Radio app. If
you haven't downloaded that, you can do that in the
app store just search for Florida Man Radio. That way

(21:37):
you can listen to us on the terrestrial radio every
weekday between nine am and noon Central and of course
the podcast available right there at the Brian Russshow dot com.
So polymarket has got a new poll out there, is
that what they even call them with the poly market.
Polymarket is weird, that whole deal. But either way, they've

(21:59):
got a new projection of the presidential election winner for
twenty twenty eight. It's like, guys, we got it like
three years to go. Can we slow down a little bit?
This is why we're in a perpetual state of elections
all the time. But in this new polling or new
projection that the polymarket has right now, it has got

(22:21):
jd Vance coming in at twenty nine percent to Gavin
Newsom's twenty three percent, which is good news if it
was accurate and that ends up being the case. But
it's so sad that even the hairbear had to come
out and he said he didn't admit it. Jd Vance
has a better chance at the presidency than Gavin Newsom

(22:42):
in twenty twenty eight on the poly market right now,
and then he has to come out with I don't agree,
and this trend won't last. More and more Americans are
waking up to Maga's insanity. Plus, we all know Newsom
would wipe the floor with Vance at a debate. You
gotta be kidding me, right, you got to be kidding.
Have you seen JD. Vance in a debate? Have you

(23:05):
seen JD Vance when he talks? He could, by the way,
I think he could actually wipe Gavin Newsom's all over
the floor, even with his hands tied behind his back.
Gavin Newsom, on the other hand, won't gav if you
were if you can, you imagine having to actually tie

(23:26):
Gavin Newsom's arms down, which I'm sure he probably likes
whenever he has to speak, because you know, when he speaks,
everything is the hand movements and and and and it's
to the left and to the right, and up and
the downs and the back and the forest and the
creating things with the hands and all over the place.
It's like, dude, put your hands down. Stop. But I

(23:47):
find it funny how some of these propagandas especially hair Bear,
who's trying to to say that you know, oh, the
Maga insanity, and it's it's just not gonna last. But
you look at the insanity that is going on with
the left and how they are so upset because one

(24:08):
they are losing their base on a It's as if
the base is literally crumbling underneath them. They're losing it
that fast. There's not enough hair jail for that. Gavin
Newsom is too much of a dirt bag. And and
and first off, one of the things that I think
a lot of Americans are starting to accept, and I've

(24:31):
said this about gen Z too, that gen Z is
they're they're kind of into the smart as as we
are in like gen X. So if you get gen X,
you get the gen Z and you get jd Vance,
who again, very good speaker, uh, fairly young guy. He

(24:53):
got a great sense of humor. He's relatable. I mean,
you you ever watched jd Vance and I I guess
you do this, especially with the THEO Vaughn when he
does his podcast. The dude is so down to earth.
You look at him and you're like, all right, he's
the vice president anything, but man, I can go have
a beer with this guy. I'm relating to this guy,

(25:15):
and that's one of the things that he has. I
can't think of any redeeming qualities behind Gavin Newsom that
you could say you relate to. I mean, there was
that one time when I was a kid, my uncle
who's huge into Halloween, he one time did all my

(25:38):
my costume and makeup and everything for me to be
Count Dracula. And if I remember correctly, I think he
used like vasileine in my hair to slick it back,
and and it was it did like days to get
all that out. It was. It was horrible. But that
is probably the only thing in my life that I
could even remotely relate to Gavin newssim on that one

(26:00):
time for Halloween I had that greasy, slick back hair
with vasiline when I was Count Dracula. I think that's
the only thing I've got other than that. There is
nothing about Gavin Newsom that makes me think that this
guy's relatable to people, that he even cares about people,
not to mention when I use logic in common sense

(26:21):
and I look at the stupid things that he does,
Holy cow, it's pretty pathetic. It really truly is. But
the Left, they're getting desperate when it comes to the
idea that they are right and that Magga is wrong
and that we are bad people. And they're so delusional

(26:41):
too about what's going on around them, like the NFL.
The NFL, I mean, I don't I don't get it.
I really don't how somebody as dumb as Roger Goodell
could still one be the the NFL commissioner, but come
out with the dumb things that he comes out with.
That we all know that that Bad Bunny is going

(27:02):
to be the Super Bowl halftime show, And when it
was announced, everybody said who and pretty much everybody had
to google Bad Bunny. Who's Bad Bunny? And if you
know anything about Bad Bunny, or you finally learned them
some things about Bad Bunny, you know that he's a
Puerto Rican pop star, is what they're calling. He's more

(27:22):
like a rapper, not really a pop star. He does
all of his performances in Spanish. He also has cross dressed.
He's also kind of a freak. He's just he's an
attention grabber, is really what he is. And he really
is not that big of a star. That keep in mind,

(27:42):
I have done music radio for thirty something years. I
still do it. I do another show outside of this
show that is a music radio So I had to
stay up on top of all of this, and for
the most part, Bad Bunny is kind of one of
those Hey, I've got a saw and that's going on.
You want to do a rap part? Okay, yeah, I'll
come and do a rap part. He does a wrap
part in Spanish. Not to mention his music while it's

(28:05):
in Spanish, if you go and get the translation to English.
In a lot of his music, it's not exactly family friendly.
Let me just leave it there. But with all of
the backlash that is going on right now, with so
many of the NFL fans saying, who the hell is
this guy? Why are you picking this guy? Can you

(28:26):
give us a halftime show that we want to watch instead?
You're going to have everybody that's at halftime. It's gonna
be probably the lowest rated halftime ever because TV's are
probably actually gonna get shut off as everybody goes to
get more beard chicken wings and doesn't pay attention to
the halftime show. But despite all of this backlash and
all the blowpack that is happening from this, you get

(28:47):
Roger Goodell who comes out and he addressed not only
the criticism but the decision to go ahead and do this,
despite the fact that people are saying, hey, get somebody else.
He said that it's care really thought through, and he
says that I'm not sure we've ever selected an artist
where we didn't have some blowback or criticism. It's pretty

(29:09):
hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions
of people that are watching. We're confident it's going to
be a great show. He understands the platform that he's on,
and I think it's going to be And this is
the part that I love. I think it's going to
be an exciting United moment. Roger, open the window, stick

(29:32):
your head out of it, and find out which direction
the wind is blowing. Okay, find out a little bit
about Bad Bunny. Right now, Americans, for the majority, both
Democrat and Republican, we're tired of the illegal immigration. We
want something done with It's the reason why we liked
it Donald Trump to go in there and do it.
Despite the fact that there's some cry babies, we're still

(29:54):
very much still supporting that Bad Bunny is anti Ice.
He's anti ice, anti crackdown on the illegal immigration, and
anti Donald Trump. Donald Trump right now, unless you look
at a liberal poll, is doing very well in the
country right now because of what he's doing. How is

(30:17):
this going to be a united moment. How's it gonna
be a united moment when Republicans and Democrats are united,
and the idea of getting all of the illegals, especially
the violent ones, out of our country, and you're gonna
have somebody do the halftime show that is against that.
Also somebody whose lyrics in his music is again not

(30:40):
family friendly. And then somebody who also tells US Americans
that if you want to enjoy my show, you want
to watch my show, and you need to learn how
to speak English in or Spanish in the next couple
of months. Excuse me, you're gonna tell me that I
have to go learn Spanish so I can enjoy your show. Roger,

(31:03):
how exactly is this individual gonna be uniting and it's
gonna be a united moment for us all? It's not.
I mean, the one thing that things is gonna be
united is hey, uh, burgers are done, sweet, I'm on
my way, come into the kitchen. That's gonna be united.
You're gonna unite people around the grill, around the keg,

(31:25):
around the uh, the kitchen table during the halftime show.
That's what you're gonna do. And the fact that so
many people have said, dude, you need to find somebody else. Now,
I can understand bringing Bad Bunny in with some of
the other artists in which he has, uh he's he's

(31:46):
doing songs with. I get that. That'd be cool, you know,
get multiple artists to come in and do these things
and do their performance. All right, Fine, that's that's there
you go. But Roger Gondell also going on saying that
he's one of the leading and most popular entertainers in
the world, and that's why we that's what we try
to achieve. It's an important stage for us, and it's

(32:07):
an important element for the entertainment value. Again, Roger read
the room. If he is the leading and most popular
entertainer in the world, why is so much of the
country upset that you have him performing for halftime shoes? Right,
I'll be watching the Turning Point USA Turning Point USA.

(32:29):
I haven't seen anything else on that if they've released
any more information about it. But from what I'm gathering,
the Turning Point USA halftime show is going to be
one that I think most Americans are going to want
to watch. That'll be an interesting show and again, I
can't wait to see the ratings to see the ratings
drop off during the halftime show. But again, what we're

(32:50):
seeing from Roger Goodell is kind of what we see
from the left so often. That the fact that they
don't pay attention to what's going on and they are
going to cram what they want down your throat, and
that's all there is to it. And if you're the
bad person, if you don't like it, no, no, you're
supposed to entertain us. And it's bad enough that we

(33:14):
saw the crap that happened with the NFL over the
past four years and even prior, and the fact that
it's actually gotten a little bit better is a good thing.
But you're taking two steps back. What are you doing?
All right, we got to take another quick break. We
will be right back. This is the Brian Rush Show
and you are listening to Florida Man Radio. Be right back,

(33:50):
all right, Welcome back to the Brian Rush Show here
in Florida Man Radio and Streaming and Rumble and Wimkin
dot Com. Thanks so much for letting us be part
of your day today. So you remember George Soros how
he went out off and bought basically the majority controlling
share of Odyssey Broadcasting or the Odyssey Group. What are
the Audyssey Communications? Honestly, I don't know. They're the radio group.

(34:13):
Odyssey second largest one in the UH in the country.
And I've said over and over again that this is
a gigantic danger to have George Soros, of all people,
to be in charge of one of the second largest
broadcasting companies in the country. Because Odyssey, which may mean

(34:34):
nothing to you, they own the majority of the major
market top conservative talk radio stations. When you look at
stations in New York, Chicago, LA, places like that, Odyssey

(34:55):
Broadcasting they own, uh the majority of the top conservative stations.
And these are things now that George Soros has control over,
and he also has control over a lot of other
stations as well, radio stations, and it is it is
very easy for you to start sending a message down
through that could be very damaging. And of course, when

(35:16):
you are a company like Odyssey that owns all of
these stations in major markets, major cities which happened to
also be blue cities, you are now having another opportunity
to control the message. Now, how this even went through
it still scratches my head because it should never have

(35:36):
been allowed for George Soros's companies to have been able
to purchase Odyssey shouldn't have happened because this is a danger,
because George Soros is a danger. And by the way,
why are we not investigating this guy? Why is this
guy allowed to be in our country and do the

(35:56):
things that he does that is anti this country? In
my opinion, that guy, along with his devil spawn should
be launched in a bad experimental SpaceX rocket that we
know is not going to make it. Get him out.
But here's some more wonderful great news. When it comes
to George Soros and his control over the media, well,

(36:19):
who was it who sold it to him? Basically what
he ended up doing was Odyssey just a real quick
one on this odissey because like so many of the
major broadcasting companies that decided that they're just going to
get gigantic, suck all the money out of it that
they possibly can and not pay attention to the product,
cut all the people out of the careers, and get greedy.

(36:41):
They went bankrupt, so they had to file for bankruptcy.
They had so much debt, and George Soros's company came
in and essentially bought the debt, which then gave him
control over the company. That's what happened with him. But
now what George Soros funded company, his Open Society Foundation.

(37:01):
They are now are actually with his Soros Fund management.
They are now looking to purchase the propaganda outlet Midas Touch. Now,
again that may not be a name that rings any
bells to you other than the story of Midas Touch
or the Muffler Place, one of the two. It is
spelled to differently as well. But Midas Touch is the organization,

(37:26):
the propaganda outlet that is behind people like Harry Sisson,
Chris Maori and some of the other propagandas that got
out there during the Biden administration and especially during the
campaign season for the presidential election and pushed all of
these propagandas. So now you have George Soros, who is

(37:48):
going to be controlled, or at least his devil spawned
child is going to be now controlling so much of
the major exposure in media in this country. And now
he's also looking to have one of the biggest propaganda
outlets under his control as well. Is it just me

(38:09):
or does this scream danger? Will Robinson danger? And again
the question that we should be asking is how does
this man be allowed to do what he does in
this country. He is a man who, with his open
society foundations, he wants the open borders, doesn't care about

(38:31):
our borders, doesn't care about our sovereignty, doesn't care about
our security. As a matter of fact, maybe this is
another person who should be sued or better yet, charges
brought against him for every single person who has been
killed in this country, buy an illegal alien that has
come into this country. He should we should charge him

(38:53):
with accessory to all of that because he's the one
that has been pushing all of this stuff. But he's teflon.
Nobody touches George Soros, and the question we have to
ask is why. And it's not like he's hiding. I

(39:15):
pointed this out of the past. When it comes to
the One World Order which he's part of, which is
aka the World Economic Forum. These people have gotten so
brazen that that they literally produce their meetings for the
world to see. And we're still like, oh, yeah, there

(39:36):
is the meeting in Davos and they were talking about
do you understand what they were talking about? Look, you
had Klaus Schwab who stood there at the World Economic
Forum and said that Americans will own nothing by twenty thirty,
and she'll be she'll be happy about it. Excuse me,

(39:58):
that's their plan. They want it so that you don't
make anything, that you don't own anything, that you are
going to be a product of the government. When you
look at who it is that goes in and buys
up all these housing This is a little inside secrets
if I can get this in before the top of
the hour. A lot of these One World Order companies

(40:19):
like black Rock and a few others that are all
controlled by all these money people. One of the things
that they do is they go in and they scoop
up every possible property that they can buy, apartment complexes,
they buy all these things so that way they control
the housing. And I'm sure you have seen this before,
and it's not everybody, but the majority of the stuff

(40:42):
that happens when you go off and you go to
buy a house, so you put a bid in and
a house and it's in a neighborhood that would be
very good for the One World Order to have housing,
and so they can control things because it's just what
they do. And all of a sudden, your bid gets

(41:02):
underminded by somebody who just comes in and does a
cash offer and takes it. There's actually groups that are
part of this one World order where that's what they do.
They go around and they do cash offers to buy
all this houses. And then what happens they buy the houses,
they turn them into rental properties. And then you're now

(41:24):
paying four or five thousand dollars a month for this
rental property, when if you could have gotten a mortgage
on it, you would have been spending one thousand and
fifteen hundred and two thousand dollars a month on your mortgage,
but now you're not. Now you're spending four or five
thousand dollars to rent these properties. And right Steebee, they're

(41:45):
also creating a housing shortage as well. This is what
they're doing. They're doing it for the high demand and
to be able to keep you under control. And the
sad part about it is again in the World Economic
Forum they broadcast this stuff. George Soros a couple of
years ago, was sitting there and he was doing his
speech and he was telling the panel about how our

(42:08):
plan is not working out and we have to step
it up. He did it on camera on stage, professionally miked,
professional cameras, professional set professional lighting and then streamed around
the world. So again, why is it that somebody like
George Soros is allowed to roam freely and still control

(42:32):
as much as he does. It needs to be stopped.
We'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Brian Russ's name, you know the brand line up the
airways in this land melting snowfas were the fiery head
talking truth. You can't always stand fast, don't show from

(43:06):
coast to coast, guess the facts, but it ain't no boast,
can't give up the change and give it a toast
to the man who roasts the most.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
Knock it off, it's.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Rust on me, hurting ryelack care of scenes, the command no,
don't Fred frame in the talk show silver screen.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
The schwarts that sparked the flame.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Nothing never stays the same, breaking down walls of shame.
Ryan rust is here a claim, voices rise a thing,
and so through the censor to the court ploticians keep
the score of Brian's battling in this war. Knock it off,
it's rust on me, Bunny rylock chair scenes, did you

(44:03):
mind on doe free ring in the songs silver streets?

Speaker 3 (44:17):
All right, welcome back to our number two with Brian
Rush Show here on Florida Man Radio conversation prior to
the top of the hour break, we're talking about George
Soros to the fact that he's now looking to purchase
Midas Touch, which again is the largest propaganda organization. They're
basically a group that finds people like the Harry Sissons

(44:38):
and the Chris Maori's and gets out there and feeds
them stuff and pays them because remember the Democrat Party
was not directly paying Harry Sisson a project Midas Touch
was Midas Touch was paying them. That's a dangerous thing
that's going on with this country. And there's so many
things that are going on right underneath our notes that

(45:00):
is so dangerous and people need to really wake up
to it and understand what's going on. We talk often
about the whole situation with the Zorn Mamadanni in New
York City, and this is becoming more and more dangerous
every day and people don't get it. Zora On Mamadanni
is going to be an absolute danger, not only to

(45:22):
New York City but to the country. He is somebody
who and I forgot the actual phrase for what it's called,
but there's a phrase for when you are somebody who
is of the Islamic faith, which he is, where you
are permitted to lie, providing that the outcome of your

(45:44):
lie is to be able to spread the Islamic faith.
And Zora on Mamadanni has been caught in so many lies,
including one of the latest ones where he has he
was photographed in the uh with some of the nine
to eleven masterminds, and now he's trying to be like, oh,

(46:04):
it's nothing.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
It was.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
It was one of those things I was. I was
there and somebody's like, hey, don't take a picture of
you all. I won't say hey. But the the man's
family connected with all this stuff too. And you look
at the things that he wants to do, you look
at the things that he believes in. And the sad
part about this when he comes to his zo run Mama, Donnie.
This is a good speaker. Like I was. I was

(46:28):
not watching Fox News when he was on last week
or whenever it was that he was on. I was
driving down the road and I was listening to it
that way, and I actually went into it in the
middle of the interview, and I actually thought to myself,
I'm like, oh, is there a new candidate in for
the New York City mayor's race. Who's this guy? I'm like, huh,
and it caught my attention. I'm like, very well spoken,

(46:50):
seems pretty intelligent, seems to have some great ideas. And
then it developed a little bit more and I'm like,
wait a second. And then finally the anchor had said
zorn and I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. That's
Zoron Mammadanni. The man is packaged well, and unfortunately the

(47:12):
low information, low IQ voters will be able to look
at him and be like, oh, this is fantastic, because
who do you have for an alternative? You have Andy Cuomo?
Ay cormovirey. Has your grandma doing? Yeah, why don't you what?
You put her into one of my nursing homes. I'll
get you on that will a little sooner. Hey, how

(47:35):
you doing over there? It's chicky pie. You want to
go upstairs in the Governor's mansion and I'll show you
what I'm all about. You know, this is the guy
that's running up against Zoron Mamadanni. That's the image that
people have of Andy Cuomo. Not exactly a great guy,
not his dad by any means. And then you have

(47:55):
what is this Swalla or whatever the heck his name is, uh,
the Republican candidate who just comes across crazy, absolutely comes
across crazy. Now, the red beret thing. I get the
background behind that, and what he started was like back
in the eighties or what the heck it was that
he started that, and it was fantastic then. But the

(48:16):
problem is is that today nobody knows what the heck
that is all about. Nobody knows. All you're seeing now
is this crazy guy running around New York City with
a red beret on trying to run for the mayor,
and people look at him going, who hell's this guy?
Why are you wearing that thing? You look crazy. I'm
not voting for you. I'm going to vote for the
guy over here is gonna give me a lot of
free stuff, and who's going to put the rich and

(48:39):
powerful into their place by taxing them more and giving
me all the stuff. That's that's what I want. And
listen to him, I mean, sounds smart, good looking guy.
He's gonna be my person, Ricky. So it's just sad

(48:59):
to much how people in New York City react to this.
And again, this is one of the things that the
Republican Party does not learn. I mean, I really don't
want the Republican Party to to really go down the
same road that the the Democrats do when it comes
to essentially talking down two people and and and going

(49:22):
after that lowest common denominator. But you kind of have
to because they're the ones that are gonna get out
and they're going to do the voting, and they're the
ones that are that that are so easily persuade. And
the Democrats they've got craptastic messages. All they've got is

(49:42):
we're gonna give your free stuff, We're going to take
care of you. And the Republicans never counter that message.
And one of the ways that I think that the
Republicans should counter that message is, sure, the Democrats are
going to give you everything for free, but who's going
to pay for it? And how much? How long is
that gonna last? By the way, when you are on

(50:04):
the EBT cards, when you are on the government paid check,
when you are living in the government housing, how great
is that? How would you, as an American like to
be a millionaire? You'd like to do that, wouldn't you?
You know what you can't do it if you're living
in government housing, living off your EBT card and relying

(50:28):
on the government to do everything for you. Instead, we
want to make it so that you can be a
millionaire too. We want to make it so that you
can control your destiny. That the only person who's going
to tell me how tell you how much money you're
gonna get is you, not the government when they send
out a check at the end of the month. And
this is what you get. You can't get anymore. That's

(50:51):
all you get here. You go now, go be a
good little peasant. Start talking about that lifestyle. Start talking
about the fact that you know you can be worth more,
you can have more, all these dreams that you want.
You can fulfill those dreams, but you can't do it
under the democratic control because they won't let you. You

(51:15):
start driving that message home to these people and they're
gonna be like, you know what, they're right, but you
have to say this message over and over and over again,
and you got to just keep pounding it into people's heads.
Otherwise the Democrats win. And that's why they win. It's right,
Guardian Angels, that's the thing that he did. And nobody
knows what Guardian Angels are well, the Guardian Angels from

(51:39):
New York City that Swallow or Swallow whatever the hell's
name is founded. It was founded for a good cause
at a bad time. But he's clinging onto that rather
than telling the message of what needs to be said,

(52:00):
Like he should really have been campaigning one without that
stupid bereon, because again, nobody knows what the hell that means.
You just look crazy. But he should have been campaigning
on the things that he did with Guardian Angels, not
talking about way back in the day, you know, back
in my day, what we did. No, he should be
talking about how grandma is getting beaten up and killed

(52:23):
in the subway, how your purse keeps getting stolen and
all your stuff is we got to stop that. These
are the things that I'm gonna do to stop that.
I want to make it so that you can have
a great career. We want to bring jobs into here.
We want to make it so that you can control
your destiny. That's the stuff that he should have been
doing to counter Zorn Mammadani's I'm gonna give you free stuff.

(52:44):
Zoron Mammadani is dangerous, absolutely dangerous. And another thing that's
dangerous and this could be another thing that happens with
Zorn Mamadanni, because remember he wants to essentially replace the
police with community policing, which basically would be the social
worker people kind of doing their job instead. Excuse me, Sarah,

(53:07):
could you stop beating your wife? Yeah, that's gonna work out.
In the UK, they're facing a problem that very easily
New York City could face as well, because look, Sharia
law is something that somebody like Zoron Mahmadanni wants. And
in the UK they have this thing. It's a victims panel,

(53:32):
which basically is a panel of people that kind of
oversee a bunch of victim It's kind of complicated, but
here's basically the deal with what's going on. There are
members of this victims panel that are now resigning from
the British government's official inquiry into the Muslim grooming gangs. Now,

(53:53):
this has been a problem in the UK is that
these Muslim groups they are actually grooming gang members and
a lot of them. There's a lot of bad in this,
a lot of violent stuff, a lot of sexual violence stuff,
and all kinds of other really bad things. And some
of the victims who were in this victim's panel that
are now resigning. They're resigning because the fact that the

(54:17):
government is standing up more for the Muslims than they
are for the actual victims. These resignations happen just in
a couple of days as part of this panel, and
one of the survivors, one of the victims of some
of this Muslim grooming that's been going on, has said
that this is the disturbing conflict of interest and I
fear that the lack of truth in services from years

(54:39):
of failing and corruption will have a negative impact in
survival engagement with this inquiry. And the accusation on this
is that government sabotage of the actual inquiry is threatening
the credibility and undermining the public trust. And again, this

(54:59):
city situation that's going on in the UK with the
Muslim grooming gangs and the abuse and the authorities failure
to properly investigate it, despite the fact that there's a
lot of pressure from the people to do it, they're
not doing it, and they're watering down the investigations. They're
not getting into what they really truly need to. They're

(55:21):
not exposing the things like they need to, and it
is affecting the people of the UK. And again this
is another example of the the leftist ideology of oh
my god, we can just open up all of our
borders to the Muslim population and they can come in
here and everything. That's going to be fantastic. No, it's not.
There are good, good Muslim people. There absolutely are not

(55:43):
gonna say that there isn't. I mean, there's like a
billion Muslims in the in the world, and you know,
not every single one of them is bad. There's a
lot of good. But that's not what we need to
worry about. We need to worry about the bad. And
the bad element of it is the one that governments,
including our own, including the left of our own, they

(56:04):
look at them and they're like, oh oh, oh my god,
they're just expressing themselves. They're not expressing themselves. Understand what
it is that they believe in. Because you don't believe
in it, they want to become violent towards you because
of that. And it's just sad to watch over and

(56:24):
over and over again the government falling for this stuff.
I mean, in the UK it's bad, this whole grooming thing,
the grooming gangs. But we're having that problem here in
New York City as well. If you look at the
migrant situation in New York City with some of the
gangs like the MS thirteen gang and TDA and some
of the others, where they are grooming gang members and

(56:49):
it's not one of those things where they're like, hey,
would you like to join the gang? I mean they're
threatening people you are joining the gang, or we're going
to kill your little brother, We're going to kill your parents,
We're gonna kill your grandparents. You're going to be part
of this gang. That's what they're doing. And these gangs
are getting out there and they're being physically violent and
sexually violent, and the Left is okay with this. My

(57:15):
question though, is are you going to be that okay
with it when it actually hits you at home, when
it finally affects your family, will you be all right
with it? New polling this also coming out and talking
about how the Left is being less and less liked
because of the fact that they are a party that

(57:37):
is weak and woke. Yesterday, Politico had published the results
of some of their focus groups that were held shortly
after the election by a progressive group called Navigator Research,
and what they ended up finding out was that Democrat
brand is in deep trouble and that the focus groups
that were made up of voters who previously voted for
Democrats but either didn't vote at all this year or

(57:59):
jump ship and went over and voted for Trump, and
they said that they felt that Democrats were too weak
and too woke. When they were asked to compare the
Democrat Party to an animal, one participant compared the party
to an ostrich because they've got their heads in the
sand and absolutely committed to their own ideas even when

(58:21):
they're failing. Another person in this poll said, liken them
to Kowalas, who are complacent and lazy about getting policy
wins that we really need, and another said that they
are not a friend of the working class anymore. One
person said that I think what the Democrat elites and

(58:42):
their politicians believe is often very different from what the
average Democrat voter is. This comes from a Georgia man
who voted for Biden in twenty twenty but Trump in
twenty twenty four, saying that the elites run the Democrat
Party and I think they're way too obsessed with appealing
to these far left social progressivisms that is very popular

(59:03):
on college campuses, and several participants also raise the transgender
attack ad that Trump campaign deployed against Kamala Harris, which
showed a twenty nineteenth clip of her expressing support for
gender affirming surgery for state prison inmates. One woman from Georgia,

(59:24):
who didn't vote in the twenty twenty four election, said
that she didn't agree with Harris, thinking that it's okay
for children to change their body parts. See the left
message is falling apart, and again the right is completely
missing the opportunity. What was the quote the Republicans never
miss an opportunity, to miss an opportunity. The left is

(59:49):
falling apart. They're seeing what's going on with the message
with their party leadership, and they're either abandoning the party
or they're just kind of like, eh, well, eh are
the ones that you need to go get See the
Democrat leadership is not stupid. They know to go after
gen Z because gen Z is the second largest voting

(01:00:09):
block that is coming up. They are the future of
this country. And if you can get into the gen
Z and lock them into your side, you're gonna win
for decades on. This is what the Republican Party needs
to wake up to otherwise we're gonna lose this country.
It's kind to wake it up. We gotta take a
quick break. We'll be right back. This is the Bride

(01:00:30):
Rush Show. Good morning, all right, welcome back to the

(01:00:51):
Bride Rush Show here on Florida Man Radio. Appreciate you
checking this out today. So once again, oh this this
has got to be painful. It's gonna be painful to
be a liberal and have to say this. Donald Trump
might have been right again what Donald Trump with the

(01:01:12):
tariffs that he has done, the things that he has
done with the H one B visas. Yep, this is
one of the things that we heard when Donald Trump
did his executive order which basically imposed one hundred thousand
dollars fee for all new visa applications. There are now
several top US employers that are now halting the sponsorships

(01:01:35):
of the H one B visas for non technical positions
after President Trump had issued the executive order, which is
working out for the American workers favor because that means
there's some jobs for them to be able to get. Notably,
some of the two major alleged H one B visa
mills which is a company called the consin zampt I

(01:02:00):
don't know who you say it right, and Tata Consultant
Consultancy Services, which are among some of the firms that
are now moving away from the over reliance on cheap
foreign labor when it comes to the chief human resources
officer for Data had said that on H one B,

(01:02:20):
we have significantly localized our workforce in the US and
also you know did this on in a recent earnings call,
and he added on that we believe our business model
will be able to adapt quickly to any changes in
immigration policy. The Trump administration new application fee likely had
a direct impact on the company's decisions to move away

(01:02:43):
from the reliance on the cheaper foreign labor, as the
data shows that the multinational IT firm is one of
the largest sponsors of H one B visas. Meanwhile, Cognizat
or whatever the hell you say it, which is another
IT consulting firm which founded in of all places, oh,
It's Indio, along with Data, which has begun stating that

(01:03:08):
on new job postings, it will only consider applicants for
this position who are legally authorized to work in the
United States without the need of employer sponsorship. The Trump
White House defended the unusually high fee compared to the
past administrations, as necessary to encourage companies to focus on

(01:03:28):
training and expanding the American labor workforce, which is something
that we need to do. We need to expand the
American workforce, we need to work on its skill set.
The National Polse had reported that the US Chamber of Commerce,
which is a major globalist lobbying entity representing about three

(01:03:49):
hundred thousand corporate interests, had filed a lawsuit calling the
one hundred thousand dollars fee. Many members of the US
Chamber are bracing for the need to scaleail back or
entirely walk away from the H one B program. Well,
guess what, it's kind of working. It's kind of working,

(01:04:14):
and I'm glad because we do need to get you know,
more American workers working. But here's the other thing. If
you want to come to America, we're a melting pot.
We're a nation of immigrants. There's no denying that. And
it doesn't matter how hardcore Republican you are, you can't
deny that. We are an immigration nation where a nation

(01:04:39):
that was formed on this this is what we do.
We embrace it. But the difference between the left and
the right is that we embrace legal, legal immigration, not
the ill legal immigration. We don't think that anybody and
everybody and the brothers should be allowed to come here.
You should be qualified to come to America. Come pursue

(01:05:02):
the dream. Why not. That's one of the things that
makes America so amazing is that you can have that dream.
You can come and you can pursue the dream. But
damn it, do it legally and also do it with
a skill set. But we also need to focus on
creating a skill set for American workers. And this is

(01:05:25):
one of the problems that we've had. We talk about
this all the time when it comes to the American
labor workforce, we don't have it. We're not encouraging people
to learn how to drive a truck. We're not learning
or we're not encouraging people how to become an electrician.
We're not encouraging people to learn how to do plumbing,

(01:05:47):
how to do all this this creative stuff and these
skill sets that we need here in America. Instead, just
go to college. Go to college so we can brainwash
you to tell you that the government is here for you,
and then we'll bring in cheap labor to do everything
for us. We need to focus on the American worker.
We need to do more job training and develop the

(01:06:07):
skill sets.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
One of the things I was actually impressed with, even
though there's some problems with the Bay County District school system,
the work program that they have for teaching some of
these skill sets pretty impressive. I've actually now the school's
back in session. I got to get back with them
to go get a tour of the entire thing. I
had a presentation of it, and it's pretty impressive. But
this is what we need to do more of around

(01:06:29):
the country. All Right, we got to take our break
for the bottom of the hour. We will be right back.
This is the Brian Rust Show. Good morning, all right,

(01:06:58):
welcome back to the Brian Rush Show. We are a
Florida Man Radio. Thanks for checking us out on this
beautiful Thursday. Coming up at the top of the hour,
Michael Pack is the director and producer of the Last
six hundred Miles documentary about the Iraq War. We're gonna
chat with him coming up in a little bit here
at the top of the hour, so standby for that.
In the meantime, we are at dat number twenty three
now on the government shutdown, which is now the second

(01:07:20):
longest in US history. The longest one that we had
was thirty five days, I believe was the longest one.
And the Democrats or the Republicans are now considering an
option which I'm gonna tell you, I don't agree with
this option. I straight up don't agree with this option
for a couple of reasons. They're thinking about going to

(01:07:43):
the nuclear option. They're thinking about saying, all right, let's
just do the filibuster. Let's let's go nuclear on this,
Let's get this done, let's reopen the government now. John
Fetterman also backing this. He said on Tuesday that he
would break with his fellow Democrats and back a potential
Senate Republican effort to abolish the legislative filibuster to end

(01:08:04):
the government shutdown. Here's the problem, now, there's there's this
is a double edged sword. If the Republicans don't end
this thing one way or another, we are starting We're
now getting into the point of problems. You know, an
initial government shut down not that big of a deal,
but when you start getting into the extended periods that

(01:08:25):
we're in now, this is where it becomes a problem,
and we're starting to see it become a problem. Now
I've got to buy the drinks, so so there's there's
personal problems going on here with that. But if the
Republican Party turns around and basically abolishes the filibuster, which
is what the Democrats are holding right now, uh, and

(01:08:48):
and go the nuclear option and vote to open up
the government, what is going to happen. Yes, exactly what's
gonna happen. The Democrats did to go see, we told
you all along that the Republicans could have opened up
the government, and they refuse to open up the government.
And it's all because of the Republicans and their refusal

(01:09:08):
to open the government. And that's the reason for why
you didn't get your paycheck. That's the reason for why
this past twenty three days it has been a struggle
for you if you're a military person, and why if
you're a government worker, you haven't been getting paid and
things are so bad. That's exactly what is going to
happen if the Republican Party goes the nuclear option and

(01:09:30):
they reopen the government. By basically telling the Democrats to
go screw off, We're doing it anyhow, it's going to
be bad because of the optics, because of the messaging
that the Democrats are going to use. What the Republicans
need to understand and they need to get on top
of it and be screaming it from the top of

(01:09:51):
every hill they can get to that the reason why
the government is still closed is because of the Democrats.
We have all voted to open the government, but the
Democrats won't. Now if they do the get rid of
the filibuster, they take the nuclear option and they reopen

(01:10:13):
the government. That is the message that is going to
be dropped. The Democrats will use it for the next
year to ensure that they are able to win the
House next year. You watch, I can almost guarantee you.
And of course, because of the event that it's a
stupid move to do it, the Republicans are going to
do it. The Republicans will most likely finally break down

(01:10:38):
under pressure because the Republicans can't handle pressure. And what
will end up happening is that that that they will
they'll do that. The Democrats will exploit the fact that
they did it and the fact that we've told you
all along that your Republicans can do it, and you
wouldn't do it, and until we put the pressure on

(01:10:59):
you and made you do it. And what will happen
is that you'll have you know, little Mikey standing over
there in the house going, yeah, but we told you,
we were telling you. It was the Democrats. The Democrats
didn't do it. And then John Thune will be over
there going what happened? What happened? Where all these Democrats

(01:11:20):
come from?

Speaker 1 (01:11:20):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:11:20):
What happened? Because Republicans are stupid. Republican politicians are stupid,
not Republicans. We're all good, Ricky. I agree, keep it
shut down until the Democrats cave. And you know, I
props to the Republicans on this. This is one thing
that I'm gonna give them credit for is that through

(01:11:42):
this shutdown, through the cr they held their ground. And
I'm shocked and impressed at the same time that they
have held their ground for as long as they have.
But they need to continue to holding their ground. They
should not cave, and they should be countering the message
and say, hey, look, it's not us, it's the Democrats.

(01:12:06):
We have now voted twelve times to reopen this government. Republicans,
every single one of us, have voted to reopen it.
What are the Democrats done? They say no, because well,
we have to have health care, we have to have
the extensions for Obamacare, so that all the illegals can
get their health care. And again, the Republicans need to

(01:12:31):
learn how to fight. They absolutely need to learn how
to fight, because we saw the message that comes out
of the Democrats when the Republicans come out and say, hey,
we don't want illegals to be having the health insurance,
and the Democrats what do they do? They turn around
the state. No, no, no, there's not a single dime

(01:12:51):
being spent on health insurance for the illegals, which was
kind of right, kind of there was the one point
five or so million illegals that were on Medicare, but
as far as Obamacare or the ACA, no, there was
no reports that there was any illegals that were on that.
There probably is, but there's no report about it at

(01:13:11):
this point. So technically the Democrats are right. But that's
when the Republicans have to turn around and go, look,
I see what you're doing there with the words you're
saying insurance, But how many millions of dollars are being spent?
Billions of dollars being spent on the health care. See

(01:13:36):
big difference between health care and health insurance. And this
is the thing that I keep saying too when we
hear the the left talking about how all we need
to fix the health insurance and the health care in
American blah blah blah. Yeah, well, putting on people on
health insurance doesn't fix it. You have to fix the
health care industry, not health insurance. And you know, it's

(01:14:01):
it's a false sensitive sensitivity blanket of being that you're
you're you feel safe because oh I got insurance. They
got I got insurance. That's like the ACA the Obamacare.
And this is one of the things a lot of
people don't realize because they're just not educated on it
enough unless you're somebody who has been sick, who's used

(01:14:23):
health insurance. That when you have the ACA Act, and
I don't know how many of you are on it
or have to be on it or know anybody or anything.
When you do the ACA Act, you go in there
and just kind of like most of our employers, our
employers will sometimes give you an option. You can get
the option that's a little bit more expensive, but it

(01:14:45):
gives you a lot more coverage. Or the program that
is a little less expensive. It doesn't give you quite
as much coverage, and if you're somebody who's super healthy,
you'll look at it and go, you know what, I
don't really need the big one. I'll just I'll take
the little one, and I should be okay. But with
Obamacare ACA, they do the same thing, but they make

(01:15:05):
it so that there's some really cheap deals so that
way they can go out and say, look, look at
these really cheap insurance packages that we have for you.
There's no need for you to spend a ton of money.
We got these free ones for you. Well, here's the problem.
The cheaper it is, the more it costs you if
you get sick. Remember I paid the most expensive I

(01:15:27):
bought the Cadillac plan because of the fact that I
have health issues and I know I'm using the health
insurance and still within a two month time period, I
spent four thousand dollars on the insurance program, plus all
the additional deductibles and everything else that I had to
meet during two months. So they lie to you about that.

(01:15:49):
So if you buy one of those cheap plans, the
thing that you have to understand is that it'll pay
for you to be able to go to a clinic,
and the clinic will be able to give you an
a and that's it. If the clinic has got to
give you a band aid, that's gonna be two hundred dollars.
You know. If you've got to go for blood work too,

(01:16:10):
it'll cover for you to make it through the door,
but then you're gonna have to pay X number of
dollars more just to do that. So there's a lot
of problems with the the the health insurance aspect, and
that's not saving people money. But the Republican Party needs
to get on this. They need to get in front
of it because otherwise they're just gonna lose. They're gonna

(01:16:32):
lose based upon the wordplay. And it's sad because it's
an easy game to play. At least for me, it's
an easy game to play. I don't have a problem
with it. I can say whatever it needs to be said.
And the Republicans need to start doing that same thing.
They need to start defending what it is that they
they're they're working towards, and they need to not let

(01:16:53):
the Democrats abuse them, which is what they do. They
let them abuse them on a regular basis, and now
the shutdown, which again has now entered I think today's
date number twenty three. They've done twelve different votes to
open it. Things haven't happened yet. The Senate went into

(01:17:14):
a session yet again yesterday, and you know, by the
end of the day they still really didn't get much
out of it. So we're going into another day and
you have people like Chuck Schumer and again here's another
opportunity that the Republicans are missing because if you watch
some of the cringeworthy and man they are cringey the

(01:17:35):
Democrat videos of walking around the Capitol build and go, oh,
where's the Republicans? No, they're not in here. Oh they're
not over in here. Where'd all the Republicans go? The
Republicans are missing out on the opportunity to bash on
Chuck schumeran and put him in his place when he's
doing videos in front of Jeffrey Epstein's house by the way,

(01:18:00):
he lives down the street from to say it, throwing
that out there. So the Republicans missed the opportunity to
point out that again the reason why the government is
shut down right now is because the Democrats and where
are the Democrats right now. Oh, here's Chuck Schumer standing
out in front of Jeffrey Epstein's house. How familiar are

(01:18:23):
you with that house there? Chuck?

Speaker 2 (01:18:25):
You?

Speaker 3 (01:18:26):
And why aren't you in DC to fight to get
the government open? If health insurance and healthcare is so important,
then why aren't you in Washington, DC fighting for it?
And here you are trying to point out Jeffrey Epstein's house. Again.
They missed so many damn opportunities. It's unbelievable. Beside of

(01:18:46):
You're right, RNC needs to grow a set and hold
the line. And it's not just them either. They need
to teach all of the team. The entire party needs
to be taught how to have a steical Horne's and
how to use them. And it needs to start too,
with strong leadership. And this is one of the things

(01:19:08):
I want the Republican Party to do in the worst
way I wanted to do the last time. I want
to see them do this. Stop electing an elected member
of the House as your speaker. Stop doing it. What
they need to do is they need to find a

(01:19:28):
I don't know, a JD. Vance or a Donald Trump
type person to be the Speaker of the House. Somebody
who is not elected, somebody who is not having to
worry about their own re election, but somebody who is
going to be able to go in for the next
two years and do what is needed to be done,
to be able to say the things that need to

(01:19:49):
be said, and not have to worry about whether or
not I'm going to get re elected myself. You need
somebody with a set on them, Somebody who understands business.
Somebody understands that government and has got to stop being
run like government, start running it like a business. Because remember,
the US government is technically a corporation, So run it

(01:20:09):
like one and stop with all of this insanity. Because
you and I we're all smart enough to understand what
it's like to budget. How is it that we get
all of these brilliant people in Washington, d C. And
nobody understands the concept of managing money like none at all.

(01:20:29):
It's like they're just going off in the wild shopping spree.
Not a big deal. Discover Card gave me a credit
card with a five hundred dollars limit, so I'm gonna
go spend it all and boom, they go off and
spend it. What do you mean, I'm gonna pay this back.
It's not that difficult to look at the spending. And

(01:20:53):
this is the other thing that we need in a
leader too. We need a leader to be able to
take a bill and look at it and go, you
want to spend how much money on what? Yeah? No, no,
on that. Start doing some line out of vetos and

(01:21:14):
understand and be somebody who can stand there in front
of the entire house and look at them all and say,
we have got to be responsible with the money that
has been given to us. Our predecessors and some of
y'all have put this country into thirty eight trillion dollars
in debt. Now. We had a guest on a couple

(01:21:35):
of days back where we kind of talked about the
national debt and one of the things that he had
said was it's a good thing for us to be
in the debt.

Speaker 1 (01:21:45):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:21:45):
No, it's a good thing for us to be in
the debt because if we have the higher debt, then
some of the lending organizations will look at our country
and go, we're gonna back down on that. A little
bit that I get, but at the same time, you
owe money. I want my money. And by the way,

(01:22:06):
you know who the number one person is that they
owe money to. And I love asking this question because
when I put that question out and say who does
America owe all the most money to, and automatically everybody
goes China. Nope, China's not the number one. As a
matter of fact, is when it comes to foreign entities
that the United States owes money to. China's number two

(01:22:28):
behind Japan. Yeah. You never hear anybody talk about all
the money that we owe Japan, which, by the way,
after we fed up their country and we rebuilt it
all for them. I don't understand why we owe them
so much money, but whatever, I digress on that one.
But the number one entity that the United States government

(01:22:49):
owes money to, or at least the Yeah, the government
is to the Treasury slash you and I. That's who
they owe them money to. They don't owe it to
China or Japan or Russia or anything else. That's who
they owe the money to. They owe it to us,
those of us that have have bought into the uh oh,

(01:23:11):
what the heck are those things called the bonds? When
you buy bonds, that's the money that they're getting from you.
A lot of the money that they're borrowing from the treasury.
You know, it's the American people that the federal government
owes all the money to, like by a landslide. Like
I think the last figures that I saw for Japan,

(01:23:32):
I want to say, it's like one and a half
trillion dollars or something like that. China is like a
little under a trillion dollars, and then there's like hundreds
of billions, you know, for scattered throughout different countries underneath that,
and then the rest of the thirty eight trillion dollars
goes to us. So again, tell me how you can

(01:23:55):
stand there in front of the country as the representative
and not be responsible for our money. And I think
if more people understood that the money that is owed
is owed to us, maybe they would be more willing
to actually go and hold our elected leaders responsible. You know,

(01:24:17):
with the whole doze thing. Why is it that Congress
and especially the House has not looked at this and said, wow,
we got to stop this when we see the billions
of dollars that they were being wasted on. Nobody in
the House is saying we got to ensure that this
never happens again. Instead, Mike Johnson comes out right away

(01:24:39):
coming back from their August recess and goes let's you know,
the continuing res elation. Now, sparky, Let's do a budget,
maintain the budget, balance the budget, and stick to that
and get our debt paid off. And then once our
debt is paid off, stop raising the debt again. Stop
doing that, be responsible for once in your sad, pathetic lives.

(01:25:03):
All right, we gotta take a quick break. We will
be right back coming up the top of the hour.
Producer director Michael Pack is going to be joining us.
We talk about the last six hundred miles. That's kind
of out just a bit. We will be right back.
Good morning, all right, welcome back to the Brian Russ

(01:25:25):
Show here on Florida Man Radio. Don't forget you can
check us out too at Brian russshow dot com. It's
got links to all of our links. It's to our
social media's to the video streams to the podcast. Also
for the live stream for Florida Man Radio. You know
what we don't have a link for. We should throw
that up. There is the the not that you're not

(01:25:48):
capable of doing it, but we could do it anyhow,
just to be nice, a link for the Florida Man
Radio app. That way, you could download that app and
listen to the show weekdays not a to twelve noon
Central on Florida Man Radio. By the way, I find
out too that we have a lot of listeners up
in the Long Island, New York area. Hey guys, how

(01:26:10):
you durn, Thank you so much for listening. There's one
of the digital channels that are up there that carries
the Florida Man Radio so that you can listen to
it up there as well. So we appreciate you listening,
we really do. And not to mention all of the
people around the world that have made this show such
a success everywhere. I was again reading some of the

(01:26:30):
statistics the other day, and it's pretty impressive how many
people around the country and around the world tuning in
to check out this show. But you know, we have
to continue fighting. We have to continue fighting. We also
had to continue not putting up with any of the BS. Absolutely,
no more of the BS. There was a couple of

(01:26:52):
videos that have come out and this is another example
of FAFO that we need to stop. And we're seeing
now more and more of the left, which is shocking
to me because people like Harry Sisson tell us and
all the politicians tell us that, you know, it's the right,
it's those maga people that are so violent. But there's

(01:27:15):
now been calls that have been done for people actually
coming out and calling on violence, calling for you. There's
an immigrant that I saw who literally came out and
said go get the guns, confiscate the guns and shoot ice. Hey,

(01:27:36):
harryh just curious. Maybe you can explain to us how
that is not left wing violence. Just curious on that one.
Could you explain that for us, because I think you should.
It's just it's sad to see that double standard and
how they're just so blind by it. But these people

(01:27:58):
are also starting to get arrested, which is beautiful. All Right,
we gotta take a break for the top of the hour.
We'll be right back. This is the Bride Rush Show, Brian.

Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
All right, welcome back to Outember three of the Brian
Rush Show here on Florida Man Radio, and we want
to welcome to the show director producer Michael Pack. Michael,
good morning, and welcome to the sh Good morning.

Speaker 4 (01:30:02):
Thank you for having me on, Brian.

Speaker 3 (01:30:03):
Absolutely, thank you so much for coming on. What are
your new documentaries that you have, which, as I'm reading,
you've got some pretty high honors on this as well.
It's called The Last six hundred Meters. Let's talk about
the film. What is this film all about?

Speaker 4 (01:30:18):
Well, the film tells the battle, the story of the battles,
of the biggest battles that America have fought since Vietnam,
Belujah and the jaff in Iraq in two thousand and four,
and we tell the story from the point of view
the people who fought there, the ground proofs, so they're
like corporals and sergeants up to one star generals who
are actually in the field. So it's not about whether

(01:30:41):
the Iraq War was right or wrong or why it
was fought. That was what it was like to experience
these battles. And we feel strongly that the best way
to honor veterans is to talk about what they did
in battle. That's what they want. I mean, a lot
of attention on Iraq war veterans and Afghanastan ware veterans
focused ONTSD and then controversial things like Haditha or Abu Grab,

(01:31:05):
But really to honor them, you have to look at
what they did in battle, and whatever you think of
the war, we ask these young men and women to
put their lives on the line for us if we
should at least celebrate their heroic actions in doing it,
and that's what we attempt to do in the battle.
And it's called the last six hundred meters because sniper says,
I don't make foreign policy. I delivered the last six

(01:31:27):
hundred meters of it, meaning what he can see through
his sniperscope, right, and that's the focus with the last
six hundred meters of these battles.

Speaker 3 (01:31:36):
That's awesome because you know, as you kind of pointed out,
we often talk too much about the politics of war
and we never really get down into the nitty gritty
about it. And you know, locally here where the show
is actually based out of, we have a function it's
called the Warrior Beach Retreat where we have wounded warriors,
which at this point a lot of them are from

(01:31:56):
the Iraq War the Afghanistan War that come in here
and we kind of give them a retreat. And it's
a very cool function that we do, and we'll talk
more about it on the show coming up again. But
it's cool to see that you guys are actually bringing
up the stories behind these soldiers, the things that they
have done, so that people can actually get an inside
look of exactly what it is that the troops dealt

(01:32:18):
with and not the politics of it, because I mean, obviously,
for the past twenty years or so, that's all we've
heard is the politics of the war.

Speaker 4 (01:32:29):
I think that's really true. I mean, oddly enough, we
shot these interviews with the people, the soldiers and marines,
and it's mainly a marine battle, but not excluicively. We
shot the interviews in two thousand and six, two years
after the battle, so we got these people when they
were still young. They might have been twenty in the battle.
We were only twenty two when we interviewed them. Now
they're middle aged men. And so we put it together

(01:32:52):
and it took Even though it was principally funded by
the Corporation for Public Broadtesting, PBS initially thought it was
too pro military, refused to air it, even though they've
put on fifteen of my films over many decades.

Speaker 2 (01:33:06):
But over the.

Speaker 4 (01:33:07):
Years, I mean, we kept pushing for them to finally
put it on the air, and the current president of
the PBS, Paula Kerger, reversed these decisions and courageously decided
to put it on the air and maybe this is
the right time for it. It's going to be on
November tenth to ten pm, the day before Veterans Day
and the two and fiftieth anniversary of the Marine Corps.
Perfect time slot for it. All across the country and

(01:33:30):
if you miss it'll be on the PBS app and
then it'll be soon after streaming on Amazon and elsewhere.
So this is maybe the right time because, as you
were saying, Brian, we do often focus on the politics it.
Maybe in two thousand and eight when we first tried
to get TBS to put it on the air, maybe
the politics would have overwhelmed it. I mean, that's what
prebs's problems were. They couldn't view it except through a

(01:33:53):
political lens. But now I think people can see it
for what it is. They can see the actions of
these people as the heroic, difficult actions they did on
our behalf. Enough time maybe has gone by, and I
do feel I mean, it's great you're having that event
in Florida, because I do feel these veterans have been
inadequately honored. I mean, when you're the veteran of an

(01:34:15):
unpopular war, that can be a problem. We saw that
with the Vietnam War veterans, right, I mean, and unlike
the World War Two veterans. But it really isn't up
to them whether the war is popular or not, or
right or wrong. They're still at the tip of the
spirit putting their lives on the line, and I think
that's clear, much clearer now than it was seventeen years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:34:36):
Yeah, I think you're right. And of course with PBS,
they're obviously right now going through some serious changes, and
the fact that they did decide to go ahead with
this and even though it's not political either way left
or right, and telling that story, which I think is great. Michael,
I have a question for the film is what is

(01:34:58):
one of the most interesting things that you discovered when
you were doing the documentary with talking with our soldiers
and what's the most interesting you learned.

Speaker 4 (01:35:08):
Well, one of the things I learned early on, and
it affected the way we made the entire film, is
I was originally, remember I began filming in two thousand
and six, I was originally going to make the film
about how high tech this war was. You may remember
that the beginning of Afghanistan. You know, we quickly got
the Taliban to collapse based on a few Special Forces

(01:35:31):
troops and close air support. It was all going to
be about technology. But as I made the film, I
learned and I could see that this urban warfare, this
counterinsurgency urban warfare, is really about individual soldiers putting their
lives on the line in really primitive situations.

Speaker 3 (01:35:50):
One.

Speaker 4 (01:35:51):
You know that the second battle, the battle in the
draft was in the South against Sheide insurgeons, and the
beginning of the battle took place underground in a cemetery,
a really weird looking Islamic cemetery, and one of the
people in it, Seth Moulton, who is now a Democratic
Congressman from Massachusetts, talked about how in his squad, one

(01:36:11):
soldier was a caounted insurgent in this you know, under
the under the cemetery, and it was so close that
they both pulled out their bayonets and they had to
try and they tried to kill each other with knives.
I mean, it could have been it could have been
four hundred years ago, you know. So at the end
of the day, that's what we ask of our soldiers
to sort of face each face the anime, often in

(01:36:34):
very close combat. And the second battle Flujah. You know,
they're clearing the city, has to house block to block,
banging indoors, not knowing what's on the other side of
the door, and rapidly coming face to face with either
an insurgent or maybe a family you can't even tell.
So you know we're asking We asked these soldiers and

(01:36:55):
marines to do a lot and a lot of it
is not the high tech, sanitized combat that we imagine.

Speaker 3 (01:37:04):
Yeah, that's interesting. I can't wait to actually see some
of those stories because you're right that, you know, we
did focus so much on all the super high tech
and I think it may may have actually given that
perception that the war was so high tech. I mean,
now you look at that our military now it's even
more high tech than it was then. But to see
those stories, I think that's going to be be very
intriguing to see how they talk about that close quarter combat.

(01:37:29):
And you know that it's one of those things too,
that it's very difficult for a lot of these soldiers
to talk about You do you find the emotion in
a lot of those soldiers when you were doing the documentary.

Speaker 4 (01:37:40):
Yes, it's very difficult for them to talk about it.
I'm honored that they did. It took a lot of
time with them before they would talk to me. I mean,
that's why. And they don't I mean this guys, everyone
knows this, I guess, but they don't like to be
called heroic or courageous, right, I want to say, and
the other people are courageous or that they're just doing
their job or something that, and they don't want to

(01:38:01):
talk about it. And so I mean at veteran events
like the one you're having, I mean, it's great to
honor them, but it's hard to get them to tell
their stories in these highly public contexts, you know. So yeah,
it was hard and I'm honored that they did. And
now I filmed it seventeen years ago. Now we reached

(01:38:23):
out to a lot of them and they really want,
especially their families to see it. Now they have children,
and they want their children to understand. And they really
had trouble talking to their children about it, actually, I
mean for understandable reasons. But the film can sort of
talk for them, and I'm really honored to have to
fill that role. You know, it's primarily designed for people

(01:38:46):
who weren't interact with the general audience, for people like us,
But I'm happy that they'll fill that role for the
veterans that are in the film.

Speaker 3 (01:38:53):
Yeah, absolutely, and I'm glad that PBS has given you
this opportunity to air it, you know, as espcually, you know,
considering a lot of the problems that have been going
on to the PBS and the fact that it's not political.
I think this is this is great because I think
we're being choked to death when it comes to the
one side and the other politics. And to get the

(01:39:13):
raw emotion and the raw story in the last six
hundred meters, I think is a is a great idea
and I'm looking forward to seeing this again. It comes
out November tenth, ten pm Eastern time, is.

Speaker 4 (01:39:29):
Right across the country. I mean, the station's put it
on a ten pm wherever they are central.

Speaker 3 (01:39:35):
Okay, cool, So that'll be an interesting thing. And you
guys have also done some other movies as well. You know,
you're the president of Manifold Productions and Palladium Pictures, which
is the company that did this this film. What other
films have you have you done in the past.

Speaker 4 (01:39:51):
Well, we've got I made over fifteen films, actually all
of them have been broadcast nationally and PBS and now
this one too. The last one I did that was
on PBS was called Created Equal Clarence Thomas in his
own words, which in which Clarence Thomas looks at the
camera and tells his very dramatic story to the viewer.
And I also the same president who rescued this one

(01:40:15):
was a champion of that to her credit too. And
he tells his story and it's very dramatic. I mean,
people obviously know he's an important Supreme Court justice, but
many do not know his story. I mean, he he
was born in Pinpoint, a gull Is speaking area outside Savannah.
You know, his father left when he was young. His

(01:40:37):
mother went to Savannah then, and he had a couple
of years of urban squalor and poverty, living in a
house with an a house in the back and not
enough food and cold in the winter and running around running,
you know, kind of wandering the streets. He's not even
going to school. And then finally she brought him to
her father, his grandfather, who raised him, you know, with

(01:41:00):
hard work and discipline, and turned that all around and
sent him to Catholic schools, more hard work and discipline,
which he liked. And then the sixties came and then
he rejected it all and he kind of became a
radical and he was sympathetic to the Black Panthers and
turned on his Catholicism. And then it took a series
of incidents to turn all that for him to become

(01:41:21):
conservative and get his faith back. You go to law school,
work in the Reagan administration, and then attacks began from
the media, culminating in the Anita Hill accusations during his
Supreme Court confirmation process, a very dramatic moment, and now

(01:41:42):
his years on the court. So it's a very dramatic
story in Clarence Timas tells it beautifully. So I ask
your listeners to watch it. It's available on Amazon Prime,
and they can see our other and they can find
out a better other films on one of our two websites,
Manifold Productions dot com sure the older films, and then
our new work is on Pladium Pictures dot com. Including

(01:42:05):
we are running an incubator to train the next generation
of right of centered, non woke filmmakers. We give them
money to make a short film and we oversee it.
So anyone out there is either a filmmaker or knows one,
they might want to consider a play that.

Speaker 3 (01:42:23):
That's an awesome thing. You know. I'm always a big
person in the in the belief of kind of like
training the next generation of something and really kind of
teaching something new. Tell us a little bit more about
that incubator program and how you're doing because you also
and I don't know if anybody else caught that when
you said the non woke productions, you know, because it

(01:42:44):
it's not only in productions that we see it on
a regular basis, but even just in the news media nowadays.
And I get critical about a lot of our media
when I see, you know, there's basic facts about things,
and you can't escape the basic facts, and you still
see them, you know, write things in a way that
don't tell the story accurately. So so tell us a
little bit about that incubator program.

Speaker 4 (01:43:06):
Well, I think it's in a way even worse in
the documentary world than in the news media, but it's similar.
I mean, at least there's this, you know, there's talk
radio that is that there are plenty conservative voices such
as yours in Florida. In the documentary world, it's really
dominated by the left, even though there's a huge renaissance

(01:43:30):
of documentary films. Netflix and Amazon say that the thirty
percent of their film product is nonfiction thirty percent. That's
a huge percentage, and a lot of it are political
or have political messages embedded in it. And it's part
of the thing which You probably know very well that
since the sixties the left has been serious about their

(01:43:51):
long march through our cultural institutions, most prominently the university,
but also really Hollywood film and television and documentaries, and
so they've built up an infrastructure training programs. You know,
every film school encourages, you know, social justice films, and

(01:44:11):
so we don't have a network or a training program,
and so to start to make a little bit of
a difference, we initiated this incubator program run by my
son Thomas, and this is our second year. Anyone can
go to our website Palladiopictures dot com and apply. It
is an apply button, or see last year's for films

(01:44:33):
and you can see that they're not you know, our
goal is not to make red meat conservative films, of
which there are several done by friends of ours, and
I think those are fine, but we want to really
compete in the space of storytelling documentaries like the Last
six hundred Meters. You know, it doesn't have a message,
but it is PBS is right about this pro military

(01:44:56):
in the sense of pro veteran presenting these people in
a truthful, unvarnished way, and we are we need to
tell those stories. I mean, just like the Clarence Thomas film.
It's fine to tell the story of restling heroes like
Ruth Bader Ginsberg, but someone has to also tell the
story of people like Clarence Thomas. So without a documentary

(01:45:18):
world that is diverse ideologically, you're only getting one side
of the story, or in fact, one kind of story.
So it's important. I think thinking better is important. We
have our second group of four are finishing their films,
and we're now open to the next group of four,
and the goal is to take people who've been making videos,

(01:45:39):
maybe for an organization like Heritage Foundation or American Enterprise Institute,
or or or for corporate clients, and they never made
a real documentary that includes journalism and kind of film art.
And our goal is to sort of get these people
to up their game by doing Because you can actually

(01:46:01):
learn to make these films in school, you have to
try to make them in reality, and they have to
you can only make you can it's only by wrestling
with these topics, these films that you can learn how
to make them. So we give a bunch of people
each year an opportunity to do that with us, with us,
with our oversight that is.

Speaker 3 (01:46:19):
That is so cool.

Speaker 2 (01:46:20):
I am.

Speaker 3 (01:46:21):
I don't hide the fact that I am a documentary nerd.
I literally can sit down on YouTube and watch documentary,
active documentary. So I'm glad that you're doing that and
that you're opening it up for young filmmakers and teaching
them how to do the story right, because you know,
it is so easy to go ahead and sway a
documentary politically one way or the other, but to get

(01:46:41):
in there and just do the straight up facts. I mean, look,
I've got my political beliefs, and I've seen some documentaries
that were not political in any way and I just
kind of go, huh, well, isn't that neat? You learn
something new, and we got to never stop learning. So
I'm excited about that program for you with Pladium Pictures.
Play Pictures dot com is the website for that. Manifold

(01:47:03):
Productions dot Com is the other one, and the big
film coming out in November tenth, ten pm on PBS,
the last six hundred meters. This is going to be
a great documentary, I think, and I'm looking forward to
see it. Michael. I love the work that you're doing,
and I hope you continue doing this and I hope
that you continue getting outlets like PBS to give you

(01:47:24):
that and hopefully BBS will be around long enough to
be able to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:47:29):
Well. Thank you. That is always a challenge and it's
important to get support from people like you and your
listeners or we can't keep going on. So that's important
too for us.

Speaker 3 (01:47:39):
Absolutely. Michael Pack, director, producer of The Last six hundred
Meters again coming out November tenth on PBS ten pm.
You'll want to go check that out. Michael, thank you
so much for coming on. I do appreciate what a
great conversation.

Speaker 4 (01:47:53):
Thank you, Brian, great talking to you.

Speaker 3 (01:47:55):
Absolutely, have a fantastic day. Again. The film is called
The Last six hundred Meters. You can see it coming
up on November tenth on PBS at ten pm, and then,
like you said, afterwards, it'll end up going all digital,
including to Amazon as well. And one of the things
that I did mention because of the fact that we
have this going on and it just happens to be

(01:48:16):
wrapping up on November tenth. Coming up is the Warrior
Beach Retreat, which will be happening in Panama City Beach,
which is an annual event. It's going on fourteen fifteen
years now something like that. The big ceremony parade that
they do will be coming up on November sixth. And
this is one of these things where kind of like
this documentary with how they're getting down and talking with

(01:48:37):
the soldiers, and we've had the copes on talking about
this many times. You know, this is a program that
allows these soldiers to sit down with each other and
talk about their stories. Which me being part of this
program several times and being behind the scenes and seeing it,
I can tell you it is one hell of an
emotional thing to see. So I can't wait to see

(01:48:58):
that movie. The movie again is called The Last six
hundred Meters. It'll be coming out November tenth on PBS.
We got to take a quick break. We will be
right back. This is the Brian Rush Show. Good morning,
that's right, all right, Welcome back to the Brian Rush

(01:49:19):
Show here in Florida Man Radio. Once again, big thank
you to Michael Pack. The movie again, the documentary is
called The Last six hundred Meters. It's gonna be on
PPS coming up on November tenth, ten pm is the
time that they said it'll be on, So check that out.
It's not on Amazon Prime yet. He did say that
once it airs on PBS, which again I'm surprised that

(01:49:42):
PBS is actually picking up a non political lean to that,
especially a non politically left lean. But it's gonna be
on PBS ten and callock on November tenth again, the
day before Veterans Day, and after that it goes to
the digital services like the PBS Digital and then we'll
eventually be on Amazon Prime. Sorry, I got that that

(01:50:06):
algaeflim thing going on there all byd So it sounds
like it's gonna be a great film film. Can't wait
to check it out. And of course you could check
out his website at Manifold Productions dot com and Palladium
Prediction Pictures dot com so you can see more information
about those films and the program that he's got for
the the the young filmmakers, which I think is a

(01:50:29):
cool concept. I'm really digging that because one of the
things that I think we have not done in this
country has when it comes to like media and and
and the filmmaking industry, is really give an outlet to
teach how to do it right. You know, when I
started my career in broadcasting, thirty sixteen years ago. I

(01:50:53):
started off as an intern. I started off as an intern,
and I was taught everything, you know. I was taught
on how to do this, how to do that, taught
how to tell a story, how to do this, and
how to do that. That's something that's gone nowadays. And
you see this a lot now, especially like in television news.
You don't see that many outstanding young newscasters anymore because

(01:51:18):
of the fact that, you know, colleges have obviously taught
a certain methodology and ideology of how to do things.
And I see it all the time. And I'm sure
our local TV stations probably don't like me too much,
but that's okay because I call them out. I call
them out when I see the stupid headlines or the
stories that just are dumb stories that you probably shouldn't

(01:51:40):
even be doing, and how it comes across so kind
of cool. So if you know somebody that is into
wanting to do documentaries, send them over to Palladium Pictures
dot com and look into that program. Sounds like a
cool program. All right, We got to take a break
for our bottom of the hour here, don't forget. You
can go check out the show at The Brianrestshow dot
com links for our podcast, the video feeds, and the

(01:52:03):
stream with Florida Man Radio. Hang on, we'll be right back.
All right, Welcome back to the Brian Rush Show here
Florida Man Radio. How you doing?

Speaker 4 (01:52:25):
You know?

Speaker 3 (01:52:25):
I just during the commercial break, and again, the only
place that you actually hear this will be if you're
watching on Rumble or Wimken, or probably not on the
YouTube thing because they have a tendency to silence that
because it's copyrighted material. Sit down, shut up. But we
play a lot of music during that to kind of

(01:52:46):
fill the commercial break, and we were just playing another
eighties song and I came across a video and it
was a guy that was actually playing some of these
older eighties songs that you know, some of us older
people we kind of remember we jammed out to in
high school and everything, and we remember these songs. We're like,

(01:53:06):
oh god, I love that song. And part of the
video that he does, he kind of goes, you remember
that iconic song that we always loved. Did you pay
attention to the lyrics? And then he kind of like
points out some of the lyrics and then you go,
oh my god, that song is dirty, and you don't
realize it until like you're an adult, which I was.

(01:53:30):
That is something that I call the Looney Tunes effect
that you know, you get a kid that will see
something you go, ah, that's all funny, that's so cute,
but we as adults look at it and go, damn bugs.
Money just did what I thought. He just didn't. We
didn't never kicked in when we're kids. And kind of
the same thing with some of this music you and
again they do it with today's music too. A lot

(01:53:51):
of the pop music and even the seventies music does
it as well, but you don't realize that some of
the lines in some of these movie songs are dirty.
I mean like dirty. And it sounds like such a
sweet song, like a cool song you love. It's one
you jam out to, and then you start singing the

(01:54:13):
song and you think about the lyrics and you go, oh,
my goodness, it's dirty. Dirty. Not that I'm complaining, but anyhow,
welcome back to the show. Do appreciate you checking this
out today. So this is the problem, isn't it. The
number of arrests that are happening all life doesn't like
this much. Christy Nolan has now come out of a
report that shows that about nearly a half a million

(01:54:34):
criminal illegal alien arrests have happened under President Trump. A
half a million. The number is actually four hundred and
eighty thousand and some change roughly, but we'll round it
right up to a half a million. This sense January.
Oh yeah, Californication. Jeed, that's another one. I mean, there's

(01:54:54):
so many songs. Sorry, oh scroll, somebody said something. I
just but it's true. A lot of a lot of
songs are are kind of dirty, and I try not
to be that way, and then all of a sudden,
I and its just it ruins my mind. It ruins
my mind. Lucy and the Sky with diamonds LSD the

(01:55:15):
seventies songs, though seventies songs are I think even worse.
They're they're even worse when it comes to those hidden
messages that you don't realize until like much later on
in life, and you go, oh, holy did they really
they did? But anyhow, back to the arrests. But the
aproblement of Homeland security now talking about the the more
than a half or roughly half a million illegals that

(01:55:39):
have been arrested and keep in mind this too, half
a million. We're not talking about the the young couple
or the just the young guy who's coming into this
country to to work a job illegally. That's not what
makes up the majority of those rests. The majority of

(01:55:59):
these arrests that have been made up have been people
with big charges against him. No, I'm said in the
press conference, said since January, the Department of Homeland Security
has arrested over four hundred and eighty thousand criminal illegal aliens.
Seventy percent of those have criminal charges against them or
have been convicted of those criminal charges. These are people

(01:56:22):
that are that are the bad or the bad, have
a million of them, and we've been able to get
them out in nine months. So why wasn't the Democrats
able to do that? Why? Or better yet, why is
it that all of a sudden, only under Donald Trump's
administration do we have all these violent criminals that have

(01:56:45):
to be arrested and sent out. Things that make you
go hmm, just a little bit right, But it is
actually kind of cool to see that, you know, the
Trump administration is cracking down as much as they are.
And the sad part about too, with a lot of
this is that many of us just don't know because
the mainstream media is not talking about it. They're not

(01:57:05):
talking about it at all. And as we've talked about
in the past, and of course you know, Donald Trump
has talked about it, Tom Holman has talked about it,
and even now Christy Noo I'm talking about it. That
the DHS and ICE have prioritized targeting illegal aliens with
serious criminal histories, including repeat offenders who have re entered

(01:57:27):
the United States after deportation. And she said that we
are focused on the worst of the worst and bringing
these individuals to justice. And again, this is one of
these things that if the Democrats in these Democrat run
cities would understand what it is that Trump is doing
and what it is that the Justice Department is doing,

(01:57:48):
you'd realize that your lives would be a lot better
and safer in those cities. Now, yes, Trump has said
that everybody who is here illegally needs to go, and
that eventually everybody gonna go after but the priority and
this is not changed in nine months. And you know,
this is one of the things too that you got
to give trumpit credit for is that for the most part,

(01:58:10):
he has not changed his thoughts and opinions on a
lot of things. In decades, he's been very consistent on
a lot of things. But among some of the cases
that got highlighted during the briefing with Secretary Nome was
people like Eric Carlos and is this his whole name?
It probably is. Eric Carlos Antilius Romeiras was an illegal

(01:58:33):
alien from Cuba who was previously convicted of homicide, kidnapping, robbery,
armed carjacking, and drunk driving. Hey sounds like a perfect
model citizen, right, Why shouldn't we fight for them? Come on, Dems,
wake it up. This is the type of people that
the Trump administration is locking up and getting out of

(01:58:55):
our society. I mean, do you really want to promote
somebody who has been convicted, not just charged, convicted of
killing somebody. That's what homicide is, killing somebody. Plus the kidnapping, robbery,
armed carjacking, drunk driving. Look, we just had the incident

(01:59:16):
just the other day in California where a drunk driving
illegal truck driver killed three people. How far do you
have to go? Do you finally wake up? Fully? And
I don't mean that to the Democrats because Democrats, and
remember there's there's a big difference between Democrats and liberals

(01:59:38):
and progressive I think a lot of Democrats have woken
up to it. That's why we're seeing such a mass
exodus out of the out of the left. But progressives
in liberals, maybe maybe they really truly are that stupid.
Maybe maybe progressives in liberals, and I'm not gonna candy
coat it at all, are just absolutely stupid people for
you to not see the problem when it is murderers, kidnappers,

(02:00:05):
people who do armed robberies, armed carjacking, and drunk driving
are the ones that we're trying to get out of
your community. Because remember Donald Trump's doing all this stuff
in blue cities. Why because that's where he asked to
do it, because the governments there won't do it for
the people. There was another case that Secretary Gnome also

(02:00:26):
pointed out, a guy from l Salvador who's taken into
custody after being convicted of sexual assault of a child, yes,
sexual assault of a child, and driving under the influence.
Ice also arrested another individual that she talked about, and
illegal from Mexico who had previously been deported and had

(02:00:47):
a final deportation order back in twenty nineteen, and he
had been convicted of leude or lashevious acts with a
minor incest with a miner and ladies and gentlemen, let's
say it all togetherather, Yes, driving under the influence. Oh
but they're not done. You need some more examples. Sure,
we'll give you another example. Ice officers arrested a twice

(02:01:09):
deported illegal alien from Honduras who has previous convictions for
domestic violence. That's all right, I mean just go beat
your wife. That's not a big deal, right, beat your wife,
sleep with your relatives, especially if they're children, do sexual
things towards children, and get behind the wheel. Just hammered. Well,
it's the worst that think that could ever happen. But

(02:01:32):
Christynomes said that these arrests reflect the Department of Homeland
Securities renewed focus on the enforcement after years of lacks policies,
and the department said that she is concentrating its resources
and individuals with violent criminal records or those who have
re entered the country after prior deportations, and saying that
every arrest we make represents a step towards restoring law

(02:01:55):
and order in communities that have been affected by repeat defenders.
She also added on to it too that ICE is
working in close coordination with federal, state, and local agencies
to locate, arrest, and remove the criminal aliens. And yet
you still have people like Gavin Newsom, like Karen Bass
like what's her name there, Michelle Wou, like Brandon Johnson

(02:02:21):
that that get into this and interfere with it. How
can the people of these cities be okay with that?
That's what I don't get. How can you just be like,
not a big deal. The person killed people. Yeah, yeah,
but you know what, he makes a hell of a taco.
As much as I love tacos, I wouldn't know not happening.

(02:02:47):
I just I can't wait to see how much further
the Trump administration is going to go. And the question
too is if we're already at a half a million,
how many more are there? I guess we'll see. And
then there's the takedown of the deep state. Now, Donald
Trump during the last four years, really after he was unelected,

(02:03:11):
he spent a lot of time talking about the deep
state and how the deep state has got to come down.
We've talked about the deep state, how it's a problem
that's got to come down and he campaigned on taking
down the deep state, and the Trump administration, according to
some new reports, had a plan all along to dismantle
the deep state behind the scenes. So apparently there's a

(02:03:31):
lot more things that are going on than what you
and I are seeing on the surface when it comes
to the Trump administration going after the deep state people.
The Trump administration had formed an Interagency Weaponization Working Group
or the IWWG, which is charged with deweaponizing and depoliticizing

(02:03:52):
agencies from the Biden error weaponization against the American people,
according to some officials that confirm this with The Daily
Caller and the D and I director Telsea Gabbart also
organized the group, which has been meeting since April and
to share information, coordinate, and execute. According to the reports,
and they said that the American people made a clear

(02:04:14):
choice when they elected President Trump to stop the Biden
administration's prolific and dangerous weaponization of government agencies against the
American people and the constitution. This, according to Telsey Gabbard,
and so that I stood up this working group start
to start to the important work of interagency coordination under

(02:04:35):
President Trump's leadership to deliver accountability. She also, the D
and I press secretary also told the Daily Caller that
the group was organized to undo the Biden administration's whole
of government approach to weaponize the government against the American people.

(02:04:55):
Can you imagine where we would be if ever a
been it was Joe Biden that got re elected or
Kamala Harris got elected. With the amount of work that
they have done, the things that they have uncovered, and
the stuff that they're continuing to do, with the weaponization
against the American people, where would we be today if

(02:05:17):
we didn't have Donald Trump to stop that and the
amazing team that Donald Trump has as well. But the
press secretary for the D and I also called this
a direct response to Trump's Day one executive order aimed
at the weaponization of the federal government, saying that it's
the policy of the United States to identify and take

(02:05:39):
appropriate action to correct past misconduct by the federal government
related to the weaponization of the law enforcement and the
weaponization of the intelligence community. And of course, what is
it that we see today. We don't see the left
talking about you know, oh my god. Yeah, the country
was so weaponized in the there was all these bad

(02:06:00):
things that were going on and the government was coming
after the people. Know instead, they're like Donald Trump is
weaponizing the government and weaponizing the justice system after the people.
Let me ask this question, because you would think you
would think that if Donald Trump was going after the

(02:06:21):
American people, that there would be news coverage about this everywhere.
We would be seeing the video of the pre dawn
raids that were happening where Donald Trump didn't like certain
Americans and he was just having him locked up. Where
there were certain Americans that were going off and protesting
things that Donald Trump didn't like, like the No Kings,

(02:06:43):
that he's just locking them up. Wouldn't there be video
of all those raids. Wouldn't there be families out there
talking about how Donald Trump and his Justice Department came
in and kicked our door at six am and took
my husband because my husband made a post online. You
don't see any of that with the Trump administration. You

(02:07:04):
don't see anybody who went off and protested in the
No Kings or any of these other rallies, the pro
Palestinian rallies, the pro Gaza rallies that have been arrested.
Wait a second, let me rephrase this. American citizens being
arrested for viewing their viewpoints. You didn't see any of that.
You did see some of the people that had instigated

(02:07:25):
some problems get arrested, as it should be, but you
didn't see any American citizens being targeted by this stuff.
So when the Democrats do get out there and they
start giving us this whole speech about Donald Trump is
weaponizing the government against the American people, No, he's not.

(02:07:45):
He's deweaponizing it from going after the American people. And
to degree is he weaponizing it, Yes, to go after
the deep state as he should, because the deep state
needs to be dismant antled. We need to stop what
they're doing to this country and we need to make
America great again. And the only way that you can

(02:08:07):
do it. And I'm gonna whoever was that said this
one on the chat, I'm gonna steal this from you.
We need to make cohon Is great again, and we
need to have a pair and we need to use them.
All Right, we gotta take a quick break. We'll be
right back. This is the Brian Rush Show. Good morning,

So Pete Hegsath had posted that yesterday, at the direction
of the President Trump, the Department of War conducted a
lethal kinetic strike at a vessel being operated by a

(02:09:20):
designated terrorist organization and conducted narco trafficking in the Eastern Pacific.
And of course we saw the video kaboom, thank you
for playing. And then what do we get from there, Well,
we get Adam Shift another illegal military strike on a boat,
this time in the Pacific, broadening the administration's deadly campaign

(02:09:46):
to another ocean. Once again, there's no detail on who
was killed or why the urgency increases. Congress must stop
America from being dragged into another war. Let me ask
you this, m oh d boy, it was you. Thank you,
props to you, and I'll even I'll even send you
a shirt once we uh, once we get those going

(02:10:12):
who we got contracted to a war with. And and
do you think it would be all that bad if
the people who are sending drugs and terrorism into our
country we turn around and spank them. Do you really
think that would be a bad thing? Adam, shouldn't the

(02:10:32):
concern that you have being the Maryland Oh I'm sorry,
my bad, Sorry, Adam. I didn't mean to say it
that way, being the representative of California in the Senate,
even though you live in Maryland. When you see a
boat that is heading to the shores of California that
is bringing drugs, and don't give me this. How do

(02:10:56):
we know? Look, we can read the number of pimples
you have on your nose from a satellite, So don't
tell me. We don't know who these people are. Come on,
give it a rest, buddy. We know who it is
that we're attacking. But why is it?

Speaker 4 (02:11:11):
Why?

Speaker 3 (02:11:12):
Why aren't you upset and fearful and concerned about the
the fact that we have a boat carrying drugs heading
to California and we stop it. How many people have
died in you know what? Hang on, I'm not I'm
not gonna hypothetical on that one. I'm going to actually

(02:11:32):
ask that question. How many people died in California from drugs?
For illegal drugs. Let's let's get the AI answer on
this one. Uh, let's see drug over to assests in California,
including involving illegal drugs. A lot of explanations, blah blah blah.

(02:11:56):
Just give me the numbers. Let's see fentanyl and illicit
manufacturing synthetic opioid is involved in eighty to ninety percent
of California's opioid overdose. Let's get some actual numbers here. Okay,
where's the actual Oh, here's the numbers. Let's see twenty nineteen,

(02:12:17):
it was forty eight hundred deaths total twenty twenty, fifty
nine hundred deaths twenty twenty one, seventy six hundred deaths
twenty twenty two, eighty five hundred deaths in twenty twenty three. Oh,
we went down a little bit. Seventy nine hundred deaths

(02:12:38):
twenty twenty four estimated right now, because the numbers aren't
fully in about sixty two hundred deaths, and who knows
how many we've had so far in twenty twenty five. So, Adam,
why aren't you concerned about that? Good question to ask you, Adam,
But instead you got to be negative about Donald Trump
because you've got nothing else, because you are a gigantic

(02:12:58):
loser that doesn't care about your people. All right, let's
see tomorrow on the show. What do we got tomorrow
on the show? I know that the Boys, the Doster
Boys are on the show. Hang on, let me see
if we got anything else. Had so many guests this week? No,
so far just them, but who knows that might change
it any time either way. The Big Friday show tomorrow, the
Red Fridays. We remember everyone who is deployed. That'll be
tomorrow's show. The Boys, the Doster Boys from American View
