Speaker 1 (01:41):
All right, good morning and welcome to the show. Happy Thursday.
Thanks so much for checking us out here on uhh,
where are we rumbling? Mikin. Sorry, I'm just a little
a little spaced out this morning. I went to bed
early last night, and I don't know why I did
this because I know the results of it. Every time
that I go to bed early, when my doctors would

(02:01):
give me this crap about how you need to get
more sleep, get more arrest, and what do I do?
I will, I will go to bed early so that
I get more than my normal four hours of sleep.
And what do I do? I get four hours of sleep?
Woke up last night eleven thirty. Haven't really truly been
able to get back to sleep ever since then because

(02:23):
that's just my sleeping pattern. So to my doctors, I
love you, guys. I do you guys, do a great
job keeping me healthy and everything, but do me a favor.
Stop telling me to get some sleep, because it just
it doesn't work for me. It's like the anti pill
for me, and I just it just doesn't work for
me for some reason neither, just like this, Earbud. I
don't know what's wrong with me today, But anyhow, welcome

(02:45):
to the show. Thanks so much for checking out today.
We do have a lot to talk about Donald Trump.
He signed the bill last night to basically open up
the government. So the government shut down after forty three
days is essentially done. Everything's getting back to normal today.
Paychecks are starting to go out tomorrow. Everybody should be

(03:08):
according to the reports, that have been unpaid for the
past forty three days, will be made whole by at
least Tuesday is the day that they're saying that all
the checks should be should be taken care of it,
everybody be all set. So there you go. That's the
that's the latest. And of course the other big news

(03:31):
that is, hang on a second. I can't type and
think at the same time. But we're not that into
the coffee yet for me to function fully. Hang on,
and I'm getting the the phlem funky winter time thing
that comes around. I hate that, all right, anyhow, focus
focusing on the show here. Coming out later on on

(03:52):
the show today, author Lee Smith is gonna be joining
us talking about his new book, The China Matrix, So
we're gonna be talking a little bit about China coming up. Plus,
can I just can I just say this and just
call it out now as what it is, But the
Democrat Party is dead, they really truly are. The Democrat
Party is no longer, or at least the Democrat Party

(04:16):
that we have known for so long is no longer,
And essentially we can we can just call it dead.
That's what we can do with it. The question now
is who in the the Democrat Party is remotely even
down the road of being the moderate Democrat that we

(04:37):
have come to know. And the answer to that question is,
aside from John Fetterman, nobody there is There is nobody
in the Democrat Party anymore that all right, let me
rephrase this. There's nobody in the Democrat Party anymore that
has the cojones to stand up to essentially the progressive

(05:01):
socialist wing of the Democrat Party. And as a result
of that, the Democrats now are essentially turning into socialist
It is the Democrat Socialist Party of America. As we're
now seeing the death of the career of Chuck Schumer,
which is due to his continued push on the on

(05:25):
the shutdown did not help him any It didn't help
him at all as a fan or fat I think
it's safe to say that his career is over. And
then when you also have Hakeme Jeffries Kim Jeffries, who
also continued to essentially push what he was pushing, doesn't

(05:47):
look good for his career. But Chuck Schumer, I think
we can count him out now. But there is no
more moderates that are strong enough, willing enough to fight
to keep the Democrat Party the party that it had
always been. And it is now I think officially a
dead party, no longer what it was. It has now

(06:09):
been resurrected as the socialist Democrats of America. And this
is where a lot of the danger I think is
going to start coming up for the Democrat Party and
for America and really truly for the world as well.
And this is where we need to start exposing what

(06:29):
is going on with the Democrat Party and how they
have gotten into this mode of socialism and again weakness.
It's crazy to think because look, the Democrat Party is
the party that has been around for the longest, longest

(06:51):
lasting party in the country, and actually I think it's
one of the longest ones in the world. If I'm
not mistaken. It could be wrong, but I've heard that
that statistic thrown around before. But it's dead now because
there's nothing and to see the level of desperation that
they are doing as well to cling onto power. I
don't know if anybody saw this yesterday, which ironic timing,

(07:15):
you know, the Democrat Party, they they never have any
examples of positive of what they could do, an idea,
a suggestion, a plan. They've got nothing. Yesterday, as they
know that the the shutdown battle was coming to an
end and they had nothing else against Donald Trump. They

(07:38):
couldn't hold the shutdown against Donald Trump anymore because people
were gonna get paid. They're getting their their snap benefits.
Air traffic control is going back just in time for Thanksgiving,
so people's travel experiences won't be disrupted. They had nothing,
So what did they do?

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Hey, look at what we found. We found a bunch
of emails from Jeffrey Epstein indicating Donald Trump was part
of the sex scheme, that Donald Trump was at the house,
donald Trump was in the airplanes, donald Trump was hooking
up with all the ladies. Okay, let's see the emails. Okay,

(08:17):
Donald Trump redacted redacted, redacted, redacted, redacted, redacted, house redacted
or redacted, Donald Trump redacted, redacted, redacted, redacted, Donald Trump
there redacted, redacted, redacted, redacted. So you're giving us a
bunch of emails that is kind of saying and it

(08:38):
kind of implementing that, you know, Oh yeah, he was,
he was there, he was at he was at the island,
he was at Jeffrey Epstein's house and he was hooking
up with the kids. Hang on and say, let me
look through that redaction. Oh wait a second, Wait a second.
So as you're flipping out like Harry Sisson is a

(08:59):
love of this. Trump claimed he cut Epstein off in
the early two thousands, but these Epstein emails proved he's
still hanging out with him in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen,
and even twenty nineteen, the other time when he was president.
Trump's whole lie just completely got exposed. No, what just
got exposed was all of the emails that were sent.

(09:25):
Are the emails that were already talked about that were
not redacted, that came from somebody who said Donald Trump
was never there. Ah shit. So the lie that got
exposed was not that Donald Trump was teaming up with

(09:45):
Epstein in twenty seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen. The lie that
got exposed after they tried to expose Donald Trump is
that the emails were a lie, and they were already
confirmed that he was not there, that Donald Trump was
not part of all of this sex things with these

(10:07):
young children. It was already confirmed by the same damn
emails that the Democrat Party is exposing yesterday as the
evidence that Donald Trump was part of the Epstein thing,
and that's why he won't release the files. Hmm. So yeah,

(10:29):
releasing the emails so timely when the shutdown was ending,
and why because they had nothing else. So in the
the lying machine that is the Democrat Party, they decided,
let's redact a couple of these emails even more. We
will we will highlight that this redaction is a victim's name,

(10:50):
and we'll we'll turn and twist some of the conversations
that we had here in these emails, and we'll make
it look like Donald Trump was guilty of being part
of the stuff. That's the reason why he's not exposing
the Epstein files. And we could get Donald Trump. The
damn thing didn't even last twenty four hours before he
was exposed as being a load of shit. But this

(11:14):
is what we're dealing with with the Democrat Party at
this point. The Democrat Party is so full of lies
and so full of desperation to get Donald Trump that
they don't even want to celebrate today that Congress was
able to pass the Continuing Resolution, was able to get

(11:35):
people back to work, to be able to get food
stamps and food relief for Americans who needed the forty
one point seven million. They couldn't do that. Instead, they
had to continue to harpen the fact that Donald Trump's
a bad person. You don't understand how bad Donald Trump is.
And look, he was having sex with the Epstein girls
and he was hanging out with Epstein. Of course, I

(11:56):
would love to know how he was hanging out with
Epstein in two thousand, seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen when he
was the president, because well, you know, here's this little thing. Guys,
there's records that have to be kept of all of
the people that the president hangs out with. And where
are the records? Where's the White House logs of Jeffrey

(12:17):
Epstein coming to visit Donald Trump. Now, unlike Joe Biden,
they also kept logs of who was visiting Donald Trump
at Bedminster and at mar Lago. So where are the logs,
the visitor logs of Jeffrey Epstein coming out and hanging
out with Donald Trump. Where's this evidence? Well, it's right here,

(12:42):
It's in the email Donald Trump redacted redacted and redacted,
Jeffrey Epstein redacted, redacted, redacted. Well, under the redacted. It
says that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein they were having
sex with young underage girls in the White House. I mean,
in Jesus christ Man, at what point do you just
realize that you're a bunch of fucking losers? I mean,

(13:07):
at what point? Because that's what the Democrat Party is,
and the fact is that they have gone to this
level of trying to once again expose Donald Trump in
emails that were already confirmed. And look, how many more
people do you need from the Epstein team that will

(13:27):
come out and say, hey, we're the ones that were
around Jeffrey Epstein all the time and Donald Trump was
not part of this. How many more of them need
to come out to say something, Yeah, but we got
these emails from the Epstein family. Oh so you mean
that the Epstein family is holding onto emails that are
evidence in the case against him and they haven't been

(13:52):
punished for that. I mean, did the FBI really truly
allow the family to hold on to evidence in this
case against Jeffrey Epstein. There's so much of it that
is just absolutely the biggest croc ever, and yet they're
out here trying to push this. Now that you know

(14:14):
Donald Trump. We have the emails. And the thing too,
is that this is a lie that lasted for probably
the shortest ever. I mean, at least normally you can
get these cycles that will go through, you know, at
least a twenty four to forty eight hour cycle. I
don't even think this lasted twelve hours in the news
even CNN. CNN even came out and said, now, these

(14:37):
aren't these aren't accurate, these are wrong. They're a lie.
You know that when CNN has to come out and
counter the Democrat lie, then you know it's getting bad.
But here's the worst thing about all of this stuff
that's going on to the Democrat Party, all of these lies,
all of the stabbing that they have done to Donald Trump.

(15:01):
Oh yeah, ap right, seventeen times. Epstein was by the way,
shown up on the logs during the Clinton White House era.
But with all of these things that are going on
to the Democrats, all of the attacks that they're doing
at Donald Trump and all this other stuff that's happening,
they're their America Last attitude. These people still could win

(15:24):
the House election next year. And that's the scary thing
because the fact that the entire party is going Democrats socialist,
which is even more dangerous for America and the world
going ahead if the House goes socialist like it's going.

(15:45):
And remember it doesn't take that much. There are forty
or thirty four seats right now that are up for
grabs in the House. There's like eight of them in
the Senate. And most of the seats that are up
for grabs are going to be for each party to win.
But you only need a handful of the vulnerable ones,
and there are some. Marjorie Taylor Green another perfect example.

(16:07):
Her seat very vulnerable. I think Marjorie Taylor Green, by
the way, is probably done. And if there's not a
Republican that doesn't step up right now to challenge her
in a primary, that seat's gonna go to a Democrat.
Just done. I mean she she has effed up, she's
exposed herself too much, she's not very well liked in

(16:29):
her in her district. She's done. And again, unless a
Republican that is decent enough and strong enough steps up
and challenges her for the primary, that seats going Democrats.
So there's one. You only need a small handful of
seats that you can flip, and you can do it

(16:49):
in such easy ways, because look, the Democrat machine, as
eft up as they are, they can still focus on
a few races here and there and they can do
the damage to take it. And if they get the House,
and I keep saying if, but the really it's when
they get the House, because I don't have full confidence
in the Republican Party to be able to fight back.

(17:11):
I was talking to some of my Republican candidates the
other day about this this particular thing or some connections
in the Republican Party, and I asked them out. They're like, oh, no, no,
it's fine. You know, we've got some plans, we got
things that are coming down. I'm like, no, no, no,
you don't have plans. You have action right now, and
you take action. But again, what the Republican Party does

(17:31):
over and over and over again when it comes to
these elections is that they wait till the last minute.
Well you know, I mean, we don't want to we
don't want to go too early. So we're gonna We're
gonna start a couple of months before the real primary
season starts. And that's no because what happens is right now,
you are you are, well you not you are the

(17:52):
Democrats are basically sotifying their base with all the information
about the Republicans. And there are people that I talk
to on a regular basis that are liberals that at
this point in time, God himself can come down and
sit you down at the kitchen table and explain to

(18:15):
you that this is the truth behind what's going on.
Everything that you have been told is a lie, Everything
that you think is a lie. And the response from
these democrats are going to be I don't think you're
really God, and that's not true because I saw it
on the internet. They are so brainwashed at this point
that it's going to be hard to overcome all of

(18:37):
the propaganda that is out there. I mean I have
presented evidence to some of these liberals and they go, now,
that's all fake. If you like it, it's not fake.
I'm actually peeing on your leg right now. No, it's
a rainy day. They said there's a one percent chance
of rain. No no, no, I mean, look junks in

(19:01):
my hands. I'm getting all over your leg right now.

Speaker 7 (19:04):
Now.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
It's just raining. This is how brainwashed the base of
the left really truly is, and the Republican Party needs
to overcome that. They need to reverse the brainwashing and
convince them the other way. They now have to convince
all of these people that are so brainwash because remember,

(19:25):
you do need Democrats to flip over to win sometimes.
And if they don't get out there and talk about
all of the things that they're doing, which here's the
problem for that. What's the Republican Party done? What have
they done? Can somebody right now name off all of

(19:49):
the things, the big things, the things that impact a
lot of people that the Republican Party has done during
this ession of Congress. You can't because they haven't done anything. Sure,

(20:11):
there's the big beautiful Bill, but the big beautiful Bill
is now the big ugly bill, the big deadly bill,
the big disastrous bill, all these other things, and the
Republican Party hasn't defended the fact that it's the big
beautiful bill. Here's the things that are in it. But
aside from that, what has the Republican Party done that

(20:34):
Republicans right now can go out and campaign on today?
What have they done? And that's a problem that is
a problem for the Republican Party coming up next to November,
because they haven't done anything. They have fought with the Democrats,

(20:58):
they have try to get some things passed. Nothing of
gigantic significance. It's been little tiny things here and there,
things that when when a politician comes out and goes, well,
here's what we did in the Congress, and a lot
of the people are just gonna go, what is that?
How does that affect what? I don't I don't understand

(21:19):
what that is. When the Democrats were in charge, all
of the things that they passed, think about them the
infrastructure bill. Granted, we know that the infrastructure Bill was
a giant, wet turd, but it doesn't matter because they
could come out and say, we did the infrastructure bill.

(21:39):
We did the biggest infrastructure bill in history. We spent
the most money in infrastructure. We worked on infrastructure because
we passed the infrastructure bill. On top of that they
did or the build back better or whatever the hell
it was that they did. They had all these fancy,
big bills that sound like, oh my god, they did

(21:59):
so much for the country, even though every single one
of these big, huge bills that the Democrats did was craptastic,
wasted billions and billions of dollars on things, didn't do anything.
The infrastructure stuff never got through. There was the the
Internet thing where we're supposed to, Oh, we're gonna connect

(22:20):
one hundred million people to the Internet, and like two
people got connected. So all of these big things that
they said they did never kind of came true and
never really amounted to much other than corruption. But it
doesn't matter because they get out and they got to
sell it. Well, how come I didn't get into the

(22:40):
internet yet. Well, we're still working on it, but we're
getting millions of Americans connected to high speed internet with
this bill, all with the infrastructure plan, We're getting all
of this infrastructure done. Well, how come the roads haven't
been done? We're getting to it. But we got the
bill passed and it's working on it. We got the plans.
It's all going to be set. The Republican Party right
now has nothing. They've got the big beautiful bill and

(23:05):
aside from that, the other thing that the Republicans do have,
But this is something that they can't claim that they did.
Because again, this is one of the things that I
have been pushing on, is that the Republican Party has
got to stop relying on Donald Trump. One man should
not be the party, one man should not be the movement.

(23:27):
One man should not be the only person that is
getting anything done. And right now we can list off, God,
we can spend the rest of the show listing off
all of the things that Donald Trump has achieved, all
the things that Donald Trump has done, the things that
his administration has done with the DOJ and with immigration

(23:49):
and all these other things. All of these things that
Donald Trump he went out and did, the executive orders,
he went out, sent the departments to go off and
do it. Not voted on by the Republicans in Congress.
So if there was anybody that was going to run
for reelection right now that would have anything to say,

(24:10):
here's what I did, it's Donald Trump. But he's not
running for reelection. The Republicans in the Congress, in the Senate,
in the House, they are the ones that are running
for reelection and they've got nothing. And this is going
to be a big problem for the Republican Party because
the Democrats are going to push that and they're going
to point it out, why would you want to reelect
the Republicans to be in charge of the House when

(24:32):
they couldn't get anything done? Look at under Joe Biden.
These are all the things that we got done, because
remember Joe Biden is the most successful president for legislation
in the history of this country. Under Joe Biden, more
legislation was passed than ever before. You know, that's the
line that they love to give us. But everything that

(24:52):
was passed was absolutely trash for this country. But it
doesn't matter because because it looks good in an ad,
it looks good on a meme that you get posted,
it looks good and a speech that you give to
your constituents. What do the Republicans do? For forty three days?

(25:13):
We argued with the Democrats to open the government, and
we voted fifteen times to open the government. Okay, so
the government got opened. Most Americans, especially those on the right,
think it's a good idea to shut the government down anyhow,
So that's not a win. It's not going to be

(25:36):
good for the Republican Party, I'm telling you right now.
And even when it comes to Joe Gruder, who's taken
over the RNC, I have I'm honestly disappointed, I really am.
I have not seen the level of getting out there
and talking about how great the Republican Party is from
him in the RNC lately. As a matter of fact,

(25:57):
the RNC has been quieter now that it's been before. Gruder,
get the message, get it out there, pound it into
people's heads, over and over and over again. Every time
that you pop up on social media, you should be
seeing something that is being shared by the RNC, shared
from the RNC. It should be everywhere. We should be

(26:20):
seeing memes and posts all the time talking about these
are the great things that the Republican Party has done
and got nothing? What's that shoes? I should call him?
I you know what, I've lost faith in the RNC.

(26:41):
I've absolutely lost faith. And I think the thing that
started my losing the faith with them was the interview
that I had and I forgot which member it was
because we had multiple members of the R and C
that were on when when they actually said, after my
question was what are you guys doing in New York
City to try and win the presidential election? And they said,

(27:02):
we have an office where you can come and get literature.
When I heard those words come out of the Republican
National Committee, I knew it was done. I knew that
that that particular division of the Republican Party is just
done and the Republicans will not have a really good
strong future. If that's the attitude that they have now,

(27:27):
I have never I don't think I've met Joe Gruder.
I think I might have met him, I don't know.
I've been to so many stupid things in an interview,
introduced to people left and right, but I don't really
know him. I want to hope that he's going to
have the the Florida attitude of kick some asses and
don't even bother getting initials, just keep on moving. I
really do. And I know that it wasn't Gruders at
the time, you know, and it's a whole different thing now.

(27:49):
But now it's hard to get a hold of the RNC.
They don't send out the messages like the I mean,
before Gruders, I was bombarded in a regular basis with
messages from the the r n C. I get nothing now.
As a matter of fact, one of the people that
used to be one of the media relations in the

(28:14):
RNC who left to go work media relations for somebody else,
reaches out to me twice a week. Reached out to
me twice a week when they were with the RNC,
reaches out to me twice a week now with the
PR firm that they're with. Right now, and I get
nothing from the RNC now, and I just I get

(28:35):
this feeling that what they're doing is is the typical
Republican response of wait until a few months before the
election season goes, and then they go. The only people,
by the way, that are really truly getting out there
and doing messaging is the White House. And I don't
know if anybody saw the latest the latest post that

(28:59):
the the White House did.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Do I have it?

Speaker 1 (29:01):
I thought I just downloaded it today. Oh yeah, I did.
Hang on a second. This is it, and and it's
more music than it is anything else. So let me
explain this to you as this music plays, so you
can visualize this in your head. It starts off and
it's it's basically Chuck Schumer and team Obama and they're

(29:27):
getting the sombreros and they're getting their tacos, the King
of Sombreros for Chuck Schumer. There's a sombrero Christmas ornament
hanging out a tree, a couple of things like free
healthcare for legals, my safe space. Trump was right about everything,
and picture after picture after picture of Chuck Schumer and

(29:52):
team Obama wearing the sombreros. And you know that that
type of thing. As he gets out there, that Team
Obama gets pissed off. If you're gonna talk about me
like that, don't there's gonna be consequence. Sit down, shut up,
have a taco. Donald Trump gets out there and he

(30:13):
messes with these people's mind. The RNC, what are y'all doing?
By the way, if you haven't subscribed to the White
House's social media's, do it. And I see most of
their stuff on TikTok, so I don't know if it's
on the others as well, but the the stuff that
the White House post on TikTok is freaking hilarious. It's

(30:37):
things like that, and they and the White House just
pokes and pokes and pokes and pokes. And you see
results of it too, because that's when you get Team Obama,
who gets out there and did his whole speech, you know,
the like the one that starts off the Taco Tuesday song.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
If Donald Trump's gonna talk stuff about me next time
I'm in the White else, you can say it to
my face. And in these these extremists that are saying
things to me, there's there's gonna be consequences because I'm
I'm I'm upset and he and you can see.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Him getting all emotionally just riled up. That's what the
RNC needs to do. I mean, if anything else, Joe
Gruder should probably call Donald Trump and say, hey, listen,
I wonder if it was possible for me to to
take your guy, or at least hire your guy as
a consultant to the RNC on how to be a
smart ass and poke back. Because the Trump White House

(31:37):
social media is what the RNC should be doing, because
one it calls out the stuff that Donald Trump has
successfully done. Two it calls out the stupid stuff that
the Democrats do, and three it emotionally messes with the Democrats.
And it's obvious because you see it happening. But Donald

(31:59):
Trump has on some stuff, but unfortunately he's the only one.
We're going to go over some of the new latest
things that have happened with the Trump administration. Of course,
the shutdown now done it over with. Late last night,
donald Trump signed the CR ending it at forty two,
forty three days, whatever the heck it was. So now
those who have not gotten paid are going to start
getting paid. Paycheck is supposed to go out starting on Friday.

(32:21):
Everybody should be paid by Tuesday, catching them all up
in the back pay. And then we also have a
lot of people who were laid off going back to
work as well. Things are moving and grooving. But the
question now is going to be what are we going
to see from the Democrats, because again they've got nothing,
because they've got no ideas, no suggestions. And when you

(32:44):
see the level of desperation that they had to try
and expose Donald Trump yesterday with the emails that backfired
within half a day's news cycle, they're not doing well.
And this is why the RNC needs to do what
the White House is doing and poke and and poke
and poke. By the way, John Fetterman not allowed on

(33:04):
MSNBC anymore. We'll talk about that coming up too. We
gotta take a quick break. We'll be right back. Good morning,
all right, welcome back to the Brian Rush Show. Thank
you so much for checking this out on this beautiful Thursday.

(33:27):
Is it? What's the weather gonna be? Hang on, It's
fifty degrees today so right now, so it's like ten
degrees warmer than it was yesterday. Today's yesterday. I over
addressed for work too, which ticked me off. Becau those
ended up being too hot today high seventy four. One's
it gonna get cool again. You know why it got warm.

(33:48):
I'll tell you why it got warm because I built,
finally my fire pit in the backyard and my day
off the other day getting ready for the winter time,
so I can get out there and enjoy the fire
pit and maybe do some schmores, have a little relaxing time.
And what happens against warm again, Let's just the way
my luck goes.

Speaker 8 (34:09):
So.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
John Fetterman said that the last appearance on MSNBC was
an exclusive interview that he did back in March. The
Pennsylvania senator had joked that MSNBC has now stopped inviting
him in for interviews during his During his latest appearance, then,

(34:33):
Fetterman had spoke with host Katie Turr about breaking ranks
with Democrats in his in his vote to help kind
of end the government shutdown, and which, by the way,
this is another crazy thing about John Fetterman, is that
John Fetterman at this point is the last moderate Democrat
that is out there that is willing to actually stand

(34:54):
up to the party. The last one nobody else in
the Democrat Party is is standing up to be at
least moderate at all. And of course now the Democrat
Party is also going after John Fetterman. They want they
want to get him out of the seat, and they
want to get somebody replaced in there that has more
of a socialist view, which is another reason for why

(35:15):
we really truly have got to strengthen Pennsylvania, which there's
a strong, strong effort to do so. Scott Presler is
has been working his ass off in Pennsylvania to get
that state to turn more red than ever. You notice

(35:36):
that I didn't say the RNC was doing it. It
was Scott Presler. Scott Presler, who, by the way, does
not in any shape or form fit the typical mold
of what is supposed to be a Republican as a
matter of fact, goes against everything that Democrats say a
Republican ever should be. He's a gay man. He's a

(35:57):
gay man, a young gay man who is out there
fighting for the Republican Party in the state of Pennsylvania.
Where's the RNC on this one? Indeed, boy, thank you
for reminding me of this one too. A great quote
that came from Dan Bongino that he used to say
all the time that most Republicans are really Democrats in disguise.

(36:17):
But no, Democrats are secretly Republicans. And that's so true.
It's a very true statement that Dan Bongino used to say,
and we see that and as evidence all the time.
But John Fetterman, he said that, you know, it's it's
my pleasure to be back here on MSNBC. He said, hey,

(36:39):
have me back. You know, I miss MSNBC. They stop
inviting me. I'm not sure why, at which point Katie
Chrror responded by saying, no, that's not true. We always
love having you. You can come on whenever you want,
just give us a call. And Fetterman's response was, yeah, absolutely.
But it's true that MSNBC did pretty much kind of

(37:01):
abandoned John Fetterman for a long time. And MSNBC right now,
as they are trying desperately to rebrand themselves, I think
they even had to be like, Okay, well let's let's
go ahead and get John Fetterman back on. And it
probably didn't work out to the way that they really
wanted because during the interview, Fetterman ended up repeatedly criticizing
his own party, the Democrat Party, for being out of

(37:22):
touch with the average American. He said, I would just
ask democrats like start talking to like regular person. Most
people are not sure what an oligarchy is, you know,
you know, it's like, okay, it's an oligarchy. Is this
a rich dude or a woman? And he added on

(37:42):
saying that okay, well, but there's more. There's also another
little secret to Democrats. You know, we like billionaires if
they're going to give to our cause or to our
party as well as too. Yeah, he's not gonna get
invited to a lot of parties. He's really not. And
it's true the Democrat party because remember about seventy something

(38:04):
percent of the wealth in this nation belongs to Democrats.
And yet the Democrats get out there and they attack
the wealthy. Oh my, on, we gotta go after the rich,
and we've got to tax the rich and all it's
the rich are the bad ones that Oh what's that check? Oh,
thank you so much, put that right in here. Thanks
to Well, I'll talk to you later. We hate those guys.

(38:26):
But John Fetderman is right too when he talks about
how most Americans don't even know what an oligarchy is.
They think that some think that it's just some Russian
thing that they really don't know what it is. I've
watched some of the Man in the Street interviews and
it was so funny because there's this one that I
was watching and this typical libtard was being asked the questions,

(38:52):
you know, just your standardrun of questions, and then they
were at an anti oligarchy rally. It was one of
those Bernie Sanders AOC rally, we gotta we gotta fight
the oligarchies. And the person looked at him and asked
them seriously questions and then got to the point of going,
do you know what an oligarchy is? And the response

(39:12):
from the person was, well, it's h well, you know what,
I gotta go. I'm done answering these questions walks away.
So yeah, there's a lot of Americans that literally have

(39:32):
no idea what an oligarchy is. But I think it's bad.
I think what an oligarchy must be is it's it's
gotta be something that is related to Republicans and is
bad because Republicans horrible, and well, we I don't with this,

(39:55):
I don't know, it's I I got I gotta go. Oh,
I gotta go. We can't do this. That's what we're
seeing with a lot of these Democrats. It's a blue
dog What are we talking about? Blue dog democrats? Yeah,

(40:16):
blue dogs are Democrats. It's a Southern term. There's no
blue dog Democrats either anymore. There really isn't. I mean,
the entire Democrat Party, aside from literally John Fetterman, has
gone down the socialist road. I challenge you right now,
somebody in the chats, because I need some coffee. Challenge

(40:36):
you in the chat right now, name me somebody who
is a Democrat. And you can't say John Fetterman, because
we already did it. That is and by the way,
still currently seated intellected office that is moderate. Go all right,

(40:58):
let me help narry it down a little bit. Somebody
that only is in a moderate in power now, but
as somebody who is at least significant in the party.
Go a Coffee's good this morning. Nothing radio silent in

(41:23):
the chance on that one. And not because you guys
don't know, it's because you do know. There isn't anybody.
And this is another thing that the Republican Party should
be talking about socialism. Think about the ads that you
can be doing right now to combat the socialist of America.

(41:45):
You take highlights from places like, oh, I don't know, Venezuela.
You know, a country that is supposed to be so fantastic,
Go ahead and take pictures from Venezuela right now, the
conditions that people living in in Venezuela, and talk about
this is what the Democrat Party supports. This is what

(42:06):
the Democrat Party wants for America. You're right, Mansion, he
used to be one. Even Christian Cinema as she used
to also be kind of a moderate as well. All gone.
None of them are there anymore. But the danger that
the Democrat Party is now starting to represent with the

(42:26):
fact that they are a complete socialist communist and look
what we're seeing, the Mamadanni thing. The Democrat Party right
now is wetting themselves over the fact that Mamadanni had
won New York City and now we can use this
as a blueprint for everywhere else. And you know, the
thing that kills me about it is the people who

(42:47):
are actually supporting that, like the people that that that
that are out there like ran and raving about how
great this is. It's like, you do understand, you are
the very people that under Mama Donni's beliefs would not
have the freedom to do what you're doing right now.

(43:09):
The LGB community. You would be you'd be on the run,
on an outcast if you're living in a in a
Mamma Donni world, and women, oh women, you need to
shut the hell up in a Mamma Donni world. How
dare you think that you can speak up to the man?

Speaker 6 (43:31):
Oh? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (43:32):
And yet you look at who it is. It's these white,
whiny liberals, these these tattooed piers double I don't know
what they're, freakazoids, white women that are out there, these
libtards that are out there going, oh my god, this
is the greatest ever. It's the greatest ever. Mama Donni.
You know that in Mama Donni's world, in the Islamic world,

(43:55):
the Muslim world that he believes in, you show up
looking like a kindergarten art school project, which I think
is the best description of some of these people with
the way they look. It was one of these things
where it's like you give paint to a kindergartener and said,
here go paint in the lines, and this thing shows up.

(44:16):
This is what we got. You would not be received
very well in these countries, and this is exactly what
Mama Donnie wants. That's what he wants for New York City.
He's gonna turn New York City into Dearborn on steroids.
It's not only going to be a socialist, communist mecca,

(44:37):
it's also gonna be mecca. You're going to see the
Islamic rules start to try and come into play. And
remember once, once you get too many that are supporting it,
it's gonna be tough as hell to fight it and
to stop it and reverse it. New York City may
be done, might be apps absolutely done. But then again,

(45:02):
you know, Mama Donnie tells us about how well, you
know the way that we're going to do this is
by taxing all the wealthy, and the wealthy are going
to pay for everybody's childcare, and the wealthy is going
to pay for the grocery stores, and the wealthy is
going to pay for all the free buses and everything else.
Well not so fast there, cowboy, because there's a new
report that's coming out that is showing not only New York,

(45:25):
but New Jersey as well has lost hundreds of billions
of dollars in resident income as New Yorkers and those
in New Jersey are fleeing the area because of this
type of politics. Florida and Texas both emerging as the
biggest winners in the decade long migration internal migration that

(45:48):
we've had, which has helped kind of reshape a lot
of the American economy.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
You know.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Yes, here in the state of Florida, it has a
negative effect for those that are struggling to pay rent
because the housing costs here in Florida have skyrocketed really
high because the demand for housing. Granted, there are some
areas that they're they're trying to get, you know, a
little bit more housing built, but it's it's a little
bit of a difficult thing to do. But because of

(46:15):
the the wealth that has come to this area, we
have seen we have seen the the the the the
boost in the the the cost of living here in
Florida and and kind of to a degree in Texas
as well because of that. But this new analysis that
is coming out is finding that states like New York
and New Jersey are literally losing billions of dollars from

(46:37):
their tax base amid the residents leaving. And by the way,
this result this study was done prior to Mama Dottie
actually winning the election. This is because of what the
the Democrats were already doing with things and now with
the unleased property or Prosperity released report which came out

(47:00):
on Tuesday and found that New York lost five hundred
and seventeen point five billion dollars in resident incomes between
twenty thirteen and twenty twenty two, half a trillion dollars
just during that time period. And again that was three
years ago where that ended. How much more have we

(47:21):
lost during those three years? New Jersey lost about one
hundred and seventy point one billion dollars during that same
time period. And this is report that comes from basically
the Census Bureau and the irs. The report also covers
some gains and losses in each of the state's residents
income as the movers take their income to other states

(47:42):
for subsequent years, not just for the first year after
their move. The report was first covered by the New
York Posts in New York and New Jersey combined have
lost two thirds of a trillion dollars in net income
and purchasing power over the last decade due to moving
vans departing their states. According to Stephen Moore, who's an

(48:05):
economist and co founder of the Unleashed Prosperity and that again,
this is a report that ended three years ago. How
much more have we seen since two thousand and two
or twenty two, twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, twenty four,
and now how much more? Because I can tell you

(48:28):
real estates selling very well in Florida in some areas.
There's some areas where it's kind of crashing a little bit,
but the wealth, oh yeah, the wealth is moving to
Florida on a rapid basis. And I can tell you
because the industry that I work in outside of this
radio show, I deal specifically with the one percenters that

(48:51):
travel in their private aviation. And I can tell you
just between last year and this year, business has tripled,
tripled since last year and this year. And Mamma Donnie
comes out there and says that, oh my god, we're
gonna we're going to raise the taxes on the all wealthy.

(49:13):
If you can lose almost three quarters of a trillion
dollars during the time period that was not Mamma Donnie,
how bad is it going to be when the wealthy
are being told we're going to raise your taxes by
another two percent, so fifty two percent is going to

(49:36):
come to us. We're going to tax your businesses more,
We're going to tax your property more. Do you think
they're gonna stick around? They're not. By the way, here's
another little thing that I came across this this explanation,
and this was brilliant, and I wish I could I
could give you her name, but I don't remember it
off the top of my head. So I had tip
to the person that I saw this, but it is

(49:57):
a very valid, valid point. And she said that Mama
Donnie said in his speech without saying it, that he
is going to be taking away the personal property of
New Yorkers. And when she said that, I was like,
now we didn't followed by holy crep? Did I just

(50:19):
defend Mama Donnie. I'm like, Mama Donnie never said that
he's going to take away the property of people in
New York City. And she goes, let me explain, at
which point I was like, okay, Hunt, you're cute. I
want to listen to you. Go ahead, explain. And she
started to explain this, and basically, what Mamma Donnie is
going to do is with the with the freezing of

(50:43):
the rent. And this is this is what she said.
All he said was that we're going to do the
rent freeze, which, by the way, is a more complicated
thing than you might think in New York City. It's
not as simple as the mayor coming out and saying
we're going to freeze rent. There's boards that have to
go through, and there's processes that have to go through.
It may or may not actually happen. But in the

(51:04):
event that Mama Donni does get the rent freeze to happen,
which is God the brain dead thinking this is great
because it's gonna freeze our rent and it's not gonna
go up and it's gonna be awesome. No, it's not
gonna be awesome because here's the problem. And this is
what she explained on this and I've talked about this
in the past two and this is why I got
so intrigued by listening to her say this, and I'm like, damn,

(51:26):
she's spot on. And I've said it before that one
of the reasons for why there is such a housing
shortage in New York City is because you have ten
thousand plus apartments that are not being rented out, and
the reason why is because of rent control. And with
the rent control, and keep in mind too that a
lot of these New York City apartment complexes and buildings,

(51:47):
they're older buildings, they are not individually heated and air conditioned.
The water is not individually metered to each apartment. So
there's a lot of things that are building wide that
the landlord just has to take care of. The landlord
has to pay the heat, the landlord has to pay
the cooling, the landlord has to pay the water for

(52:07):
the entire building. So you don't get a separate bill
for those things in most of these older apartment complexes.
And with the rent freeze, the rent control that goes
on in New York City, it means that if you
got an apartment and you paid one thousand dollars a
month for it and you get into that rent freeze,
then every year after that, that's all you're paying. So
regardless to the fact that the cost of electricity, the

(52:31):
cost of the steam and the oil or whatever else
it might be to heat and cool the building, the
cost to renovate the building, to do basic repairs in
the building, all of these things are going up, but
the rent is not, so it will get to a
point and it has gotten to a point for a
lot of these landlords where they look at it and go, look,

(52:52):
if this continues, I can't make any money. And a
lot of them are not making any money. They're going
into the rent on this. So what they do is
they stop renting out certain apartments so that they can
shut off the heat, shut off the electricity, shut off
the water, and reduce their costs as much as they
possibly can. So that's what's happening in New York City.
It's one of the reasons for why you're seeing such

(53:12):
a huge shortage of places to live in New York City.
So as this girl's explaining it, she's talking about how
with the rent control, the rent freeze, which would be
more than what's already going on, it means that more
landlords are gonna not be able to afford to keep
the heat going, keep the electricity going, keep the water going,

(53:34):
do the basic repairs that are needed. And what will
happen in the city of New York And this happens
already as it is, is that if you are a
landlord and say there's I don't know let's keep it
simple here. The front door is not shutting right, or
the door to somebody's apartment is not right, or there's

(53:55):
a small water leak in somebody's apartment and you can't
afford to fix it because well, you're not making any
money because you know of rent control and you're now
in the red. Then if you don't make the money
or the repairs, the tenant can then report you to
the city. The city will find you for the fact
that it hasn't been done, and then will continue to

(54:17):
find you until you get it fixed. Well, if you
can't afford to fix it to begin with, then that
means you can't afford to fit to pay the fine,
and you can't afford to pay the fine of the
fine and the fine for not paying the fine, and
you still can't fix the thing because you still can't
afford to fix the thing. So one events of happening
in the end is that the city will then turn

(54:39):
around and look at this landlord and say, look, this
person's a slumlord. This person is not paying their fines
in their fees, We're going to take the property away
from you. And when they take the property away from
all of these people, then it will become government housing.
See where she's going with this, and she's spot on

(55:01):
with that, and this is how one of the ways
that New York City will be able to take away
people's property and develop the government housing. But here's the
problem with all of this. The city can't afford to
do the repairs themselves. And if you have seen the

(55:21):
city housing, the government housing that is in New York City,
they are worse than any of the slumlords. The government
housing that they have, like they're Section eight kind of
housing is falling apart. A lot of the buildings are
from the seventies the eighties have not been repaired, have
not been maintained very well because the city doesn't have
any money and they aren't discussing armpits. And if the

(55:46):
city ends up taking over more properties because you know,
they're the rent freeze and the landlords aren't able to
do all of this, then the government housing thing is
going to grow. As the government housing thing grows, it's
gonna be more of expensive for the city that they
can't afford to do. And all of the housing which

(56:07):
is now government housing is falling apart. So see this
whole rent control freezing of the rent thing. This is
actually a bad idea now on the surface, in the
utopian world and when you're having a hard time getting by,
for the government to come out and say we're gonna
make it so the rent doesn't go up, that sounds great,

(56:29):
but in a reality, there are so many people in
New York City that are paying way under market value
for their apartments that it's screwing the landlords.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
Now.

Speaker 1 (56:40):
Granted, there are some sleevez baged landlords where they should
be dealt with, no doubt about that, but it's causing
a bigger problem than it's solving any problem. And it's
just only going to get worse for New York City.
And then if it gets to a point where they
start taking more and more people's property, these people are
gonna leave too. They're gonna be like, I'm out, I'm gone,

(57:00):
I'm gonna take whatever wealth I have and I'm moving
to Florida. I'm out of here. New York City is
in a heading in a direction that is just not
gonna be good. And there's so many things when you
you you evaluate what it is that Mama Donnie wants
to do in New York City, they will fail. The

(57:22):
free buses. Kathy Hokle has even come out and said,
you can't do that. You can't give it away for
free because we rely on the fair to be able
to pay for the buses. Who's gonna pay for the buses?

Speaker 2 (57:38):
Now?

Speaker 1 (57:38):
If if the city is going to be taking away
all these properties to make them government housing, they're gonna
have to pay for those housing. And they can't pay
for the ones that they've got now, So where's all
this money gonna come from? And again, keep in mind,
three quarters of a trillion dollars between two thousand and
twenty two in that time period left the area. There's

(58:00):
three years ago that that report ended. How much more
has left since then? And how much more is willing
to leave? I can tell you this one simple move,
one simple move. Take to the Stock Exchange out of
there and put it in Dallas. You know how many

(58:20):
trillions of dollars of revenue in New York City, of
income and value is going to get up and leave
New York City just like that? Gone? See you later, bye,
Thanks for playing. What are you going to do next?
Because remember these are the one percenters, these are the
ones with all the big time money. And if they

(58:41):
get up and leave, what is New York going to do?
How are you going to pay for all those government housing?
How are you going to pay for the childcare? By
the way, not just childcare, he said, high quality childcare.
And if anybody has ever paid for childcare, do you
know that low quality is expensive as hell? Let alone
high quality. Who's gonna pay for that? Where's the money

(59:01):
going to come from? New York City is doomed? And again,
one of the problems that happened with New York City
with this election is not just that it was Mamma Donni.
We consider and we can blame Mama Donni all we want. Yes,
Mammadanni's going to be a horrific leader in that city

(59:22):
and if he can get half of the stuff that
he wants to do done, it's going to destroy the city.
But you know whose fault it is. The fault is
the seventy to seventy three, seventy two percent of the
voters in New York City that didn't vote. When you

(59:43):
have that many people that didn't get out and vote
and you allowed less than twenty eight percent to vote
for the three idiots that were that were running for
the mayor's race, and a million people out of the
seven million adults in New York City that are voting
to adults, one million of them have decided that New

(01:00:06):
York City must die. And that's what's going to happen.
And this should be another example to everybody around the country.
And this is something that again Republicans never miss the
opportunity to miss an opportunity, but they should be like, hey,
watch what's happening in New York City now with every
election that goes on, Like even local Republican parties should

(01:00:30):
also pay attention to this. When we have another municipal election.
What you need to be doing is not just say, oh,
make sure you get out and vote. What you should
be doing now is you should be saying, hey, look
at New York City. See how much of a hell
hole that place is turned into. See the disaster that's
going into New York City. See how they've lost all

(01:00:52):
of their money. You see how the businesses have left,
the jobs have left, the poverty rate has climbed in
their city. And you know why, because twenty eight percent
of the population got out and voted. Don't be in
New York City. Get out and vote. What a great
ad to help motivate people to get out and vote.
And that's the thing is that when it comes to

(01:01:14):
these municipal elections, people just don't get out and vote.
You know, here in Bay County the past couple of
municipal elections that we've had, turnout was horrible, I mean
torn out was like in the teens in the past
couple of them. And yet people get out there and
they complain about the mayor, they complain about the city council,

(01:01:34):
they complain about money that's being spent. It's like, you
can complain now, but you couldn't get up and go vote.
And of course, here in Florida, we have the early voting,
so for the most part, there's two weeks or whatever
it is to your early voting. So there's no excuse.
I have voted in every single election here in Bay
County since I moved here in two thousand and seven

(01:01:58):
or eight, or whatever the heck it was that I
got here. Every single election. I have voted every municipal election,
every primary, every general election. And I can tell you
right now that that our former h what is the title,
the elections guy, the former person that was doing it

(01:02:19):
did a great job, made it super easy. Now you
have Nina Ward that's in there, who worked under Mark
for so long?

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
What is the actual title? Why am I having a
brain fart on this? Hang on a second, I swear
to God. Sometimes just not enough, not enough coffee has
kicked in yet either for my brain to to fully
fully function. Hang on Supervisor Elections. Jesus Christ. It's such
a simple name and I can't even get that. So
the Supervisor Elections, Mark Anderson, he did a fantastic job

(01:02:52):
here at making it so that it's easy to vote.
Nina Ward, who had worked underneath Mark. Who's if you
never had the opportunity to work with Nina. She is
just as amazing as market. I think going on in
the future she's going to be proving to be an
incredible supervisor of elections. But the thing is they've made
it simple. I don't think I have. There's one time

(01:03:13):
and I waited until election day because I was stupid
and I had to stand in line, and it took
me about maybe fifteen twenty minutes. But every other time
that I voted, five minutes, like just about the same
song that started in my car was just wrapping up
by the time I got back into the car. That's
how quickly I was able to get in and vote.
So there's absolutely no reason to not get out and vote.

(01:03:33):
And this is one of the things that we've got
to push because look, we've gotten some crap tastic people,
absolutely craptastic people in the local office. And keep this
in mind. This is also part of the Democrat plan.
They'll focus a little bit on the presidency, they'll focus
a little bit on Congress, but that's not where they

(01:03:54):
are focused on. Where they are focused on and especially
after seeing what the Mama situation is, local mayors races,
mayors races city council seats because look what they did
in Dearborn Michigan. Dearborn Michigan used to be a regular, normal,
all American city and now it is completely run by Muslims.

(01:04:20):
That's it. And they have fundamentally changed Dearborn Michigan from
the all American city to a very Islamic state. The
only thing that they're not really doing is Sharia law there.
But this is how they do it. This is part

(01:04:40):
of the plan that the hidden agenda that nobody wants
to talk about because it's hard to prove, but if
you open your eyes, you see it happening. And that
is the fundamental changing of America, like Barack Obama said,
and he's starting it by hitting areas like small towns.

(01:05:03):
You change a small town, how fast can you do it?
Dearborn Michigan is the perfect example of that. And now
we have New York City, which is going to be
another perfect example for that. To convince people to get
out and vote, get involved. Now, I will admit it
is probably a much better idea to get the municipal

(01:05:23):
elections to be put into November with the regular general elections.
But here's the other problem. And we've seen this before,
and remember, as somebody who's run for office twice, I've
seen the inner workings of this. When you have if
you were to put the municipal elections into the November elections,
a lot of times here in Florida, the primary ends

(01:05:44):
up being the deciding election for a lot of the
things that we're voting for. A lot of our county
commission seats are state representative seats, the state senator seats,
you know, even Congress. You know a lot of these
things are being decided in the primaries and not in
the general. So if you put the municipal is in

(01:06:06):
the general, then you still got to get people to
get out there and vote in the general election. And
yes there's multiple times a year you got to vote.
But it is so important because if we don't, we
end up like a deerborn Michigan. We're going to end
up like a New York City. And this country can
be fundamentally changed just by taking city by city by city.

(01:06:26):
And if you think that's not their plan, you're not
paying attention, because that's exactly what their plan is. That's
exactly what they are trying to do is just slice
little by little and before very long, there's nothing left
of America. Pay attention. All right, We've got to take
a quick break. We'll be right back. This is the
bride Rest Show. Good morning, all right, welcome back to

(01:07:08):
the Brian Rush Show. Good morning. Knocking off coffee today
is just hitting the spot now. It's because look, and
Dan boy, this is all your fault too, by the way,
because of the fact that you have convinced me to
go with the French press to do my coffee in
the morning. Holy crap, does it just like soak the
caffeine out of that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
Woo.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
I'm like wired through like midday because I drink a
huge thing of coffee when I do that. So yeah,
it's all your fault on that one. John very good
point on this too, by the way, when it comes
to the whole Mama Danni thing about how he can
attempt to raise New York City taxes but you can't
do the state tax. The hopell doing it, and that
the buses and the subways are part of the MTA,

(01:07:55):
which is a state run municipality. So yeah, that's again
it's another example of the stupidity of some of these
people that are that are run for office that have
no idea how things actually work. And again, Mamma Donnie
is somebody who while he was a state assemblyman, he's

(01:08:17):
never had a job. He's a spoiled, rich elitist kid
who grew up with power around him and now wants
it for himself but doesn't know anything. So with Kathy
Hochle already coming out and saying, yeah, no, we are
not going to be able to do that. We rely

(01:08:37):
on the fees and the fairs to be able to
pay for the buses and the subways and all this
other stuff. So no, you can't do that. And it's
going to be interesting to watch Mamma Dontie as he
goes into office starting in January, because as it is now,
he had to beg people to donate to his transition team.

(01:09:00):
So you can't even transition without trying to get other
people's money, and everything that you've been saying that you're
wanting to do is all falling apart. Yeah, he was groomed,
he was grea you know, Menchurian Canadate type situation going
on here against somebody who just is absolutely clue said,

(01:09:22):
of course, who is close to Mamma Donni. Soros, Alex Soros,
buddy buddy is up there with Mamma Donnie, and you
know that Alex Soros is going to be one of
the people that's going to be pulling the strings. And
that little devil spawn, Alex Soros is in my opinion,

(01:09:42):
probably ten times worse than Daddy. And Daddy was an
actual Nazi, but Alex Soros is a pure evil, little
devil spawn, and he's going to be the one that
is going to be calling the shots with Mamma Donni.
And you know, This is the thing too, is that

(01:10:04):
people like Alex Soros, they know they understand how government runs.
Because look, you can't defeat something and destroy it if
you don't know how to defeat it and destroy it,
if you don't know how it works. And that's how
you have to start. Alex Soros knows that the buses,

(01:10:24):
that all this other stuff is all things that are
run by the state. That it's not something that the
mayor of New York City is going to be able
to unilaterally make that decision. I mean, that's why Kathy
Holkle is the one who put the National Guard into
the subways. Wasn't Mayor Adams, it was the governor. And
what's gonna end up happening is you're you're going to

(01:10:46):
see with all of these false promises and and again
this is how you do it. Just give you some
inside of the gravy.

Speaker 8 (01:10:53):
Here.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
You get your candidate that you're going to groom, You
tell them we're going to do all this stuff, and
you give them a little you give them a little
something to nibble on, but you also let them hang
themselves a little bit. But you let them hang themselves
to the point that they don't realize they're hanging themselves.
Most a nice necklace. Necklace is getting a little tight. Still,

(01:11:16):
oh god, this is thing's getting a little tighter. Now, well,
I can't breathe, and now you're hanging. That is how
they do it. That's that's how these the One World
Order powered people do it. And that's what they're doing
with Mamma Donnie. You're gonna see George Soros, or not
George Alex Soros, who's gonna be controlling his puppet strings.
But you have to give him some failure so that

(01:11:37):
he understands, oh, you need me. And when Mamma Donnie
takes office and he sits down and he's like, all right, here,
we're gonna make the We're gonna make the buses free.
And the State Assembly and Kathy Holkl come out and
go the hell you are. Now, Mama Donnie has got
to look at the New York City population and explain

(01:11:57):
to them why you're still paying to ride the bus,
why you're still paying to ride the subway. I thought
you said this was going to be free. And what
is he going to do? Because of the fact that
he has no knowledge of government, he is a completely
inexperienced business. He knows nothing because he never had a job.
He's gonna look to the puppet master, Alex, what do

(01:12:19):
I do? What do I do? Alex? And then Alex
is going to get his way. Alex is going to
want certain things and he's going to convince him. In
order for me to help fixture this, You've got to
take care of this. That's how the dirty politics work.
You get the dumb people to run for office that
are going to be reliant on you, the puppet master,

(01:12:43):
to be able to handle things. I was about to say,
you know what, I'll say it to him. I was
asked to run for office again. Recently. I was asked
and it was kind of a funny conversation because I
was like, you really want to run? You want me

(01:13:04):
to run for office? And they're like, yes, we want you.
And I'm like, while I have never said no, I've
only said not now. But my reaction to that was,
you know that so and so would not be able
to handle me in that position because so and so
could not control me. And my friend looked at me

(01:13:27):
and goes, yeah, that would be kind of a problem,
wouldn't it. I'm like, yeah, that would create a mess.
Not that it's a bad thing, because I don't think
that any politicians, locally or otherwise should be controlled by
a puppet master. But here's the reality is that that

(01:13:47):
is the case. There are puppet masters, whether it's a
full on you know, pull every single string, or they
at least have one on you that they just can
kind of yank every now and then. That there's always
that that type of person that is that is overseeing
a lot of government. And the problem with me is
that I don't play that game.

Speaker 8 (01:14:10):
I am.

Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
I'm somebody who is is very open to conversation. You
have an idea, come to me, tell me, tell me
your idea. Is it gonna be an idea that is
gonna maybe make somebody some money because of the fact
that they own a business, uh, you know, whether it's
a construction company or a product distribution thing or whatever
it might be. Yeah, I mean, they're gonna make some money.

(01:14:32):
But unfortunately it's the name of the game. But there
has to be a big difference with our politicians. Where
you can have a business guy who wants to do something,
or a construction company that wants to do something, or
whatever it is, and they come to you and say, hey, look,
this is what we're gonna do. You have to be like, no,
that's not what we're gonna do. But I'm gonna listen

(01:14:54):
to what your plan is. Let me hear it out,
tell me, tell me what you're idea is. And the
question is going to be this. So if I ever
run for office again, understand this. This is the way
the conversations are going to go with me. What do
you want to do? Okay, how does that benefit the people?

(01:15:15):
I know you're going to make a lot of money
off of it, and if it's not you that does it,
it'll be somebody else that does it, and they'll make
money off either way. This project is something that somebody's
going to make some money off of. So the question
is going to be how does the city, how does
the county, how does the state? How does the population?
How do they benefit from the plan that you were doing?

(01:15:36):
Other than we just build it? Because remember my other
thing when it comes to politicians, do not build it
if you can't maintain it. That pisses me off more
than anything when I see government building something that goes
to hell. A couple of examples, the New three eighty

(01:15:58):
eight here in Panama City that the one that goes
up near the highway or the airport looks beautiful. It
was great, but you know what we're seeing now weeds.
Weeds are growing up all over the place along the
sides of the road between the concrete and the pavement,
and the medians have not been mowed. So it looked

(01:16:21):
beautiful when they finished it. They're like, cuta and now
a little while later you're like, it looks like shit.
Go mow the grass. Downtown Panama City. Now, I am
the biggest proponent of what's going on in downtown Panama City.
I love downtown Panama City. This is when I ran

(01:16:42):
for office the first time. I was asked many questions
about downtown Panama City, and I said, this is what
we need to be doing with downtown Panama City. And
the pushback that I got needless to say, you're welcome,
because this is what we should have been doing, and
this is what we did do and it's beautiful. I
love it. It has a great look to it. It's

(01:17:02):
got a lot of shops that are there. If you
haven't gone down there on a Friday or Saturday night,
you know it's an enjoyable place. There's places that you
can stop and get something to eat, you can check
out different things, you know, have adult beverage over here,
hang out with some friends. There's a lot to just
do on a Friday and Saturday night. It's great. When's
the last time that they went through there with a

(01:17:25):
street cleaner, power washer, some leaf blowers, something to clean it.
All of those beautiful bricks that they now have for
the roadway and everything, they're dirty. Do not build it
if you cannot maintain it, no matter how great the

(01:17:48):
idea is, no matter how great the plan is, no
matter what if you can't maintain it, do not build it.
And for Panama City, that's one of the things that
I just wish they would get on a little bit
more with downtown Panama City. Midweek. Look, I've been down
there midweek at night, you know, because I would go
to dinner at like Indigo or down at at Harrison's

(01:18:11):
or something with friends, and on your way back through
downtown Panama City, there's hardly any cars there, perfect timing
to be cleaning that area up. Just come down through
with some street sweepers, power washers, clean it up, make
it look good. So that it is ready to go
main paint it. And then with the medians all over

(01:18:31):
the place, and this is the thing that you see everywhere.
They build a nice new road and then they don't
mow the grass in the median and it looks like crap.
If you're not going to maintain it, don't build it.
So that's one of the things that just kind of
ticks me off when it comes to a lot of
the politicians. And you know, there is the puppet masters,

(01:18:51):
and again Alex Soros, he's gonna be the puppet master
for New York City, so it'll be interesting to see
the devil spawn stuff that he decides he wants to do.
Anybody see this again, this is another example of what's
going wrong with the left. Everybody knows who Stephanie Miller is.
Stephanie Miller is a progressive radio personality and she's often

(01:19:12):
on She's one of the guests on the Five on
Fox News. She's been a correspondent or a contributor with
them multiple times. She's got our nationally syndicated radio show.
She's very progressive. She's a California progressive. The other day,
there was a picture that came out over the weekend,

(01:19:33):
and it was a picture of her down on her
hands and knees with her ass up in the air, which,
by the way, was probably actually the best looking view
of her kissing the sneakers of Jasmine Crockett of Texas.
Holy crap, Really, you're getting down to a point where

(01:19:56):
you're gonna bow down to Jasmine Crockett and kiss her sneakers.
By the way, she posted the photo on her ex account,
I mean, this is how bad it is that you're
dumb enough to even post the fact that you bowed
down to Jasmine Crockett to the point where you got
down on your hands and knees and kissed her feet.

(01:20:18):
And the caption of the photo that she posted, she said,
why yes, I did, in capitol letters kiss the sneakers
of Jasmine, and I do worship the ground she walks on,
and she was lovely about it, following by a bunch
of laughing emojis. First and foremost, never worship the ground

(01:20:44):
that a politician walks on. I don't care who it is,
Donald Trump, jd Vance, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, none of them.
Never worship the ground that they walk on, because they
are going to walk on you while you're on that

(01:21:07):
ground worshiping it. And again, of all people, Jasmine Crockett,
that's the one, Jasmine Crockett, the sneakers were a better
option than her. Ass Uh, you know what censored censor

(01:21:28):
button on that one. I'm not even gonna say anything
because I'll get myself in trouble. But I also came
across this video this guy that I follow, and he
usually has some pretty piffy comments when he does a video,
but this time he just kind of basically dropped a
one order on this one. But this was Jasmine Crockett,
and this is one of the latest things that she

(01:21:50):
she stirred up. Go.

Speaker 7 (01:21:52):
You do know that one of his friends his purchased Dominion,
So it's gonna be really important.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
For by the way, talking about Donald Trump and the
whole dominion software there, we talked about this the other day.

Speaker 7 (01:22:04):
Educate all states that we can to make sure that
their secretary of States are like, we don't want the
dominion machines because I personally believe that that ally purchased
Dominion so that he could potentially play with the machines
because we know that they're trying to cheat by changing
the lines for the midterms, and I think that they're
trying to solidify their cheap potentially with the voting machines.

Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
So that's possible. I mean, what a powerful statement on
that one. It made me laugh. Yeah, that's one of
the things that Jasmine Crocket got out there talking about
the dominion voting machines with how one of Donald Trump's
allies has purchased it and they're going to use it
to cheat in the election. That's possible, huh, because we

(01:22:52):
were told it wasn't possible. But again, that's the woman
that's Stephanie Miller got down on her hands and knees
outside of it, right outside ground and kissed the feet
of Jasmine Croockett because I do worship the ground she
walks on. And she was lovely about it. Of course
she was lovely about it. You know how much you

(01:23:14):
inflated her ego that a nationally syndicated progressive talk show
host just got down and kissed her feet and says, oh,
I worshiped the ground that you walk on. That ignorant
piece of trash does not deserve that type of a treatment.
I mean, no politician does, but especially her. Jasmine Crockett

(01:23:38):
is going to be She's going to be an interesting
one to deal with in the very near future. All Right,
I gotta take another quick break. Got some other topics
to talk about. Jerry Nadler now has somebody who's looking
to take his seat. We'll talk about that. Plus guess
what we found kids, We'll talk about that coming up

(01:23:58):
in a second. We'll be right back, all right, Welcome
back to the Brian Russ Show. Thanks so much for
waking up with us today. You appreciate it so began.
If you can check us out on our official website,
it is the Brian Rustshow dot com, where we have

(01:24:19):
links to the podcast, links to some of the guests
that we have on the show, plus the videocaster for
Rumble and Wimkin. We are actually still throwing the show
from time to time when I remember and when I
get to it up on YouTube, which I've been impressed
we haven't been censored or kicked off of YouTube yet yet.

(01:24:41):
Sounds like a good challenge. So I love the social
media presence of some of these nitwits. On the left.
There's this new one. I don't know where she came
from and why she's popping up on my feet all
the time, but it's been entertaining. It has made me
laugh a lot. It's doctor Rita died and by the way,
say doctor in gender studies, global climate, climate crisis advocate

(01:25:05):
and he trans writes and human rights individual. Just yeah, oh,
I am following her now. I think I followed her
just the other day because she was popping up all
the time. But either way, she comes up with some
of the dumbest posts. And one of the latest posts
that she just came up with was a post that

(01:25:25):
had basically the Soy Boys. It was Dean what's his name,
Dean Withers, Harry Sisson, Chris Maori uh, and then some
other putts boy And it's so funny because her headline
on this was MAGA could never match this, And I'm
kind of thinking to myself, going, why would we? Oh.

(01:25:52):
By the way, the picture is zoomed in a little
bit to just crop down to the four Soy boys,
which really looks like it's one of the those twink
point porn fantasy things where the four of them go
off and do their thing. That's really what it kind
of that's the first impression I get when I look
at that, I'm going I have a feeling this is

(01:26:13):
like the opening shot to a twink porn. Right. I'll
have to ask one of my gay friends to see
if that's the case. But if you saw the actual photo,
it's they're at like some some I don't know what
the hell they were at, but there's a giant inflatable
what is it? What does it called an IUD? The
thing that you to prevent pregnancies. Yeah, that's what they

(01:26:34):
were standing in front of and being posed. MAGA could
never match this, Why would we want to? I mean,
I'm sometimes there's posts that the left does that. I
just I look at it and I try to analyze
it to try and figure out what are you talking about?

(01:26:57):
What do you mean? I mean we may not be
able to match said energy, we could probably beat it.
We could get all kinds of you know, young good
looking gen z men to take a photo wearing a

(01:27:20):
Trump shirt like these putts are wearing the Harris Waltz sweatshirt.
So I guess, I guess maybe we could match that,
match it a little bit there or better yet, you
know what else we could do? This will this will
get him going talking about matching we could beat them.
We could post just a photo of Sydney Sweeney. Oh,

(01:27:42):
hang on a second, I'm doing it. Let me sorry
if I don't do this right now, I am. I'm
gonna I'm gonna forget. I'm gonna forget to do it.
Let me see if I can find the absolute freaking
hottest photo. Uh, that won't get me banned off the
Internet of Sydney. Swingey, let me know Sydney Sweeney hot.

(01:28:05):
Let's see. There's gotta be hotter photos than this. Come on,
all right, let's uh, let's let's hang on. Bear with
me for a second, because I got to mess with
this person a little bit, because challenge is accepted that
Maga could never beat that. Oh perfect, here's just the
one with her and jeans. I save that. Oh, let's

(01:28:26):
see save that. Uh okay, Uh now, let me let
me respond to this. Uh, this dipshit here, let's see. Sorry,
every now and then, I've just got to mess with
these people, So bear with me for just the half

(01:28:48):
a heartbeat. All right, where'd the photo go? Should be? No,
damn it. I lose stuff all the time. Other it
is lose things all the time when I download them.
There we go challenge accepted, by the way, if you
want to, if you want to see some real smart
ass side of me, follow me on X because some

(01:29:13):
of my my level of smartasm is in high function
right there. It's it's pretty crazy, all right. So Jerry
Nadler is now getting ready to uh, to step down,
to to move on, get ready to do his thing.
He's going to retire, maybe go to the buffet a
little bit more. I don't know what it is, but
somebody has now stemped up to to say, hey, I'm

(01:29:34):
ready to go ahead and take his role. And this
time it's a Kennedy. JFK's grandson, the son of of Carolyn,
is now going to be challenging or at least running
for the congressional seat to replace the Democrat Representative Jerry
Nadler of New York. So so Jack Schlosburg, who is

(01:29:59):
the the the former president's thirty two year old grandson,
now stepping up and says that he is he's going
to go ahead and run for Jerry Nadler's office. Slosburgh
originally rose to the political stardom on TikTok, which I
can understand it. Good looking guy, he's got that you
know what he reminds me of actually his uncle John.

(01:30:20):
If you look at the photo of Jack, it looks
like John Kennedy Junior. It really does looks like it
could have been his son. But then again, is it
just me or is like the entire Kennedy clan kind
of seem very inbred because they all look exactly alike.
I'm just look, I'm from Massachusetts, so I can get

(01:30:42):
away with saying that they look like they're inbred. They
really do. So he rose to fame when he was
doing a whole bunch of TikTok ving videos where, like
a lot of his relatives, he would criticize and mock
rfk Junior for all of the things that he was
trying to do for the country. So obviously Jack is

(01:31:03):
not going to exactly be the best congress person. But
I mean, it's New York's I mean, what do you expect.
But Slogsburg's gonna be entering the crowded primary race alongside
of a bunch of other people who are really not
big names, So he's gonna have kind of the biggest
name recognition for the most part. Being also the fact
that he's a Kennedy On his campaign site, he had

(01:31:26):
said that he launched his congressional bid because the best
part of the greatest city on Earth needs to be
heard loud and clear in Washington and deserves a representative
who won't back down.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:31:37):
To be honest with you, Jack, what you should have
done is actually run for the mayor then, because the
greatest city on Earth is going to be a trash
led hellhole before very long. That is, if Mahmadanni's able
to do anything, which I don't know. That's questionable as
to whether or not he will be able to do anything.

(01:31:58):
But that'll be an interesting can pain to watch to
see who replaces Jerry Nadler. And you know what I
would love to tell you. I would love to tell
you about all of the Republicans that are running to
replace Jerry Nadler, But I can't. You know, how do

(01:32:20):
you think you're going to win if you don't play Republicans?
How do you win if you don't play? How do
you start to chip away? If you don't play a
little bit? Where's your candidates for these seats? I mean,
you think about all the stuff that you could go

(01:32:41):
after Jerry Nadler for and how you don't want to
replace Jerry Nadler with another person who's going to be
bad for New York City. Start pointing out all the
stupidness of the Democrats and all the things that they
have done, and say, hey, maybe it's time for you
to get some Republican representation in this town so we
can improve this city. Saying so something else that we

(01:33:04):
are seeing a lot during the Donald Trump administration, And
to be honest with you, I have lost track of
the tally at this point because every time that the
press conference comes out, the numbers are in the hundreds.
Under the Biden administration, we saw an estimated eighty thousand
children at one point. I think by the end of
the Biden administration the numbers were as high as three

(01:33:25):
hundred thousand children missing in America, many of these children
being illegal immigrant children that were snuck across the border
during the Trump administration. Like I said, I've lost track
of the tally. We've got to be thousands at this point.

(01:33:46):
But another one hundred and one missing children were discovered
in of all places the place, which again when they
say get out, no, we don't want your help, let
that be a red flag that there's something going on,
because you remember when Donald Trump had said, Okay, well
we're going to go into Chicago, we're going to clean
it up. We're going to go into New York. We're

(01:34:07):
going to clean it up. We're going to go into Boston.
We're going to clean it up. And they fought come
hell and high water to have him come in and
do that. Portland. The other one that they said was Memphis.
And guess where they found the one hundred and one children. Yep.
In Memphis. They were rescued by the US Marshals citing
high crime. And then of course Trump, who back in

(01:34:29):
September deployed federal resources to Memphis, and the US Marshall
Service said that they have located and returned dozens of
missing children in Memphis, Tennessee, over the past several weeks.
They said. While few details were provided, the service did
say that about one hundred and one children were safely
returned over a forty day operation. According to the press

(01:34:51):
briefing that happened a couple of days ago, which was
released by them, they said that we are happy that
we have been able to use our fatigue or our
few hunting skills to assist local and state at authorities
with finding these missing children. What a testament to our
partnership to be able to work with these cases together

(01:35:12):
while investigating work in tedious locating in in there is,
Locating missing and endangered children is one of the things
that we are most proud of. Where was the Biden
administration talking about how proud they were of the children

(01:35:35):
that they rescued. Does anybody remember those those press conferences.
Anybody remember the doj at All coming out and saying, Hey,
we we rescued one hundred kids, Hey we rescued two
hundred kids. Hey we arrested these gang members. Anybody remember
any of that, because I certainly don't. Sorry I had

(01:36:00):
to sneeze. I don't know where that came from. But
under the Biden administration, we didn't see any of that.
I wish we could find more children because they smell
so good. Quick, somebody get Joe Biden.

Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
Back.

Speaker 1 (01:36:15):
In October, Pambondi also made another announcement that federal agents
had rescued about eighty missing children and arrested seventeen hundred people,
including one hundred and twenty six gang members. Again, this
is an opportunity that is always missed. By the least,
because remember or the rights never miss an opportunity, to

(01:36:36):
miss an opportunity. Why is it that the Republican Party
is not touting this And in a place like New
York City, where there's so much stuff going on with
all these illegals, why is it that the Republican Party
is not out there saying, look, in all of these
places that the Democrats have fought the Trump administration to

(01:36:57):
go in with law enforcement to help clean up the crime,
we are finding hundreds of children that are missing. How
many are missing it here in New York City? Ask
that question because remember emotions, and you would think for
most people that even with children, their emotions would be like,
oh my god, we got to take care of children.

(01:37:19):
But again, how many of these cases have we had
with Donald Trump? I've lost track of how many we
are at least in the thousand child range, if not more,
that the Trump administration has found with upwards of three
hundred thousand being reported to have been missing, which think
about that number. Bay County, Florida is in the population

(01:37:45):
range of about two hundred thousand, So that is the
population of Bay County plus some in children that are
missing in the country, and fix you you're right. The
child trafficking has been happening long before the immigration problems,
and they really have. But who's ever done anything about it?

(01:38:06):
And that's the other question. And here's the thing is
that here in America, you know, we're supposed to be
all prim and proper and high and mighty and everything,
but the child sex slave industry in the United States
is huge. I mean, Jeffrey Epstein, Diddy, how many others

(01:38:28):
are out there like those people? This is These are
not one off things as we have seen, you know,
the child trafficking, like you're right, Fix, So it's been
happening long before the immigration problem. But the numbers that
we're talking about right now are the immigration children, not
even the American children. And how many other American children

(01:38:51):
have disappeared? Where have they gone? And where's the effort
to really knock down this whole sex sex trafficking trade?
And in my opinion, the people that stoop to that level,
and look, I get it, dating nowadays is tough, totally
get it. But if you're somebody who you know, the

(01:39:14):
only way you get your rocks on is with a child,
there should be some rocks that are shown and you
should be rocked lead poison preferably, and we aren't. Right,
you know, here's a very good point, Fixer, And there's
a lot of theories behind this. Some of them are gross.

(01:39:35):
Well no, let me rephrase that all of them are gross.
We aren't finding bodies everywhere, so where are they going?
It's a good point. So if right now, in the
past few years, we have three hundred thousand children, where
are the bodies? Where are they at.

Speaker 8 (01:39:59):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:40:00):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:40:00):
I know that there is the conspiracy about how some
of the world's power people who are sick as all
get out are eating them, which the thought of that
is just disgusting too, But we know that for the
most part it is a child sex trade industry. And Greg,

(01:40:20):
you're right, the United States is kind of the mecca
of the child sex trade industry, which again not something
that we should be proud of. But why haven't we
tried to stop that? And every once in a grade
while you do see a report here and there, and
of course it's nothing that makes any news where a
child is found, you know, in a basement or whatever

(01:40:42):
it might be. But the very valid, very good question
is where are the bodies? Why do you not find them.
I mean, is it situations where they're grooming them as
small children and keep them, you know, through adulthood and
everything else. Because we know that we've seen some cases
like that, But why don't we see more effort to

(01:41:09):
stop these child sex trade industry here in America? I mean,
it would be simple solutions. But the problem is is
that a lot of these people that are partaking in
this child sex trade industry are the uber wealthy, uber
powerful who can get away with this stuff. Because in

(01:41:32):
my opinion, twenty two cents solves that problem. No trials,
none of that. And I'm sorry if law enforcement was
to raid a house and they found a bunch of
children in that house, that is clearly a sex trade

(01:41:57):
kind of situation or child sex kind of situation. Hey
the uh, the guy charged me. He charged me with
a knife. Pop pop done. The organ harvesting, I've heard
about that too, And of course that was one of
the things that was going on in places like China,

(01:42:18):
the organ harvesting, and that I can tell you that
that's not a situation here in America where they are
doing the organ harvesting because the standards here in America
are are ridiculously high trust me, I know, but other countries,

(01:42:44):
so I mean maybe that is a case. But still
where the bodies? You know, once you take a couple
of Organs out, there's still a body. What are they
doing with them? I mean, it's just it's sick to
think of. Again, the numbers that we talked about today
are the immigrant numbers. Three hundred thousand. How many American
children have also been missing over the years. So props

(01:43:07):
to the Trump administration for doing what they are doing
to address this issue. But again, this is something that
the Republican Party should harp on. They they should be
talking about how we are rescuing these children from this
slave industry, and what is the Democrat Party done? What

(01:43:34):
have they done? Nothing? And it's it's sad on top
of being absolutely disgusting to think about what's really truly
going on with some of these children and the fact
that they're disappearing. It's pretty gross. All Right, I gotta
take another quick break. Coming up, we are you know what,

(01:43:55):
Hang on, We'll wait a little while before we do
the break. But coming up at the top of the hour,
Leaf Smith is gonna be joining us. Werenaal about his
book The new book is called The China Matrix, and
we're gonna talk about some of the things going on
with China and of course with all the trade with
with Donald Trump that is going on, so a lot
to talk about with him coming up in just a

(01:44:15):
little bit. You know, here's another thing when it comes
to immigrants too. Saw this story and this is kind
of something that should be done. It absolutely should be done,
because it used to be done. When you would show
up to Ellis Island, they would check you out, make
sure that you were okay and worthy of coming in.
But the State Department, which has now been under the

(01:44:37):
incredible leadership of Marco Rubio and again Marco somebody who
has I've always liked Marco, but I was never like
ultra impressed with Marco as a senator. He did a
lot of great work when he was in the State
legislature here, but as senator I was always dah. You know,
he was the decent, fantastic job with the State departm.

(01:45:00):
He really has done an amazing job with that. But
now the State Department is allowing the denial of some
immigrant visas to those who have health issues, including obesity.
Immigrants that are seeking visas to live here in the
United States could be rejected if they have certain common
medical conditions, including things like obesity, cancer, or diabetes. According

(01:45:24):
to the new report, the guidance, which is issued in
a memo from the State Department to Embassy and Counselar officials,
directs visa officers to weed out applicants entering the US
based on their age or the likelihood that they need
to rely on public benefits. According to the director or
according to the directive, you must consider an applicant's health.

(01:45:49):
It's said that certain medical conditions, including but not limited to,
cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, cancers, diabetes, medical diseases, neurological diseases,
and mental health conditions can require hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of care. You wait, the Left is going

(01:46:15):
to go mental about this. That Oh my god. See
see this is how bad Donald Jump and the Republicans are.
They just want people to die. We don't. We don't
want people to die. But at the same time, we
don't want to be responsible for everybody's damn healthcare. We
really don't, so stop it. And of course, there is

(01:46:39):
a medical examination that has already required for all immigrants
and refugees that enter in the country, by the way,
the legal ones, and it is actually kind of common
for a lot of the visa officers to scan for
contagious diseases such as things like tuberculosis. You know, why
would why would we do that if that's a bad

(01:47:00):
If it's not a bad thing. You know, when we
talk about that with the with the the illegal immigrants
that come in, you get slammed on by the left
that you're being mean and cruel. It's like, no, this
is what we've always done. This is what most nations do.
We want to protect our nation. It's all there is
to it. It's not that difficult of a thing to understand.

(01:47:24):
But I'm glad that they're doing it because we need
to do more to protect the health of America and
letting people into the country who who have these diseases
is just simply not a good idea. So we got
to stop it, all right, got to take a quick break.
Coming up after the break, Lee Smith is going to
be joining us, the author of the new book and
the China Matrix. We're gonn chat with him about that

(01:47:46):
and what China is up to. And what's going on
with all that. So hang on, we will be right back.
This is the Brian rush Show. Good morning, all right,
welcome back to the Brian Ruschel. Thank you so much
for making us part of your day today. To appreciate it.

(01:48:08):
Want to welcome to the show. Author of the new
book The China Matrix, the epic story of how Donald
Trump shattered a deadly pack. Want to welcome Lee Smith
to the show. Lee, good morning and welcome to the show.

Speaker 2 (01:48:23):
Ran. Thank you for bringing me on this morning. I
really appreciate it and great to be speaking with you.

Speaker 1 (01:48:27):
Absolutely. This is actually kind of a big subject because,
like we were just talking in the break and you
made a very good point that China is always in
the news and sometimes you just have to look for it,
and it is. It's kind of a big problem that
is out there, and it's obviously one of Donald Trump's
biggest foes, even though we see the way that the
left kind of frames this argument a lot. Let's talk

(01:48:50):
about the book. What is exactly the China Matrix Book
all about?

Speaker 2 (01:48:55):
Well, what the China Matrix Book is about. It's about
a fifty year history of how you elite has betrayed
their country by selling the facts of the Communist Party
at China. And it was really Donald Trump as the
first president. Look, there's lots of other people, American leading
figures who have talked about the problems with China. Donald
Trump is the first American president who not only campaigned

(01:49:17):
on it, but having won the White House, I actually
plotted a strategy to do something about it. So we
saw that in the first term, and we're seeing it
now on the second term. Brian, as you know, as
we talked about as we talked about it before briefly,
and as you mentioned, I mean, it's just wild. If
you look around the news, and it's not like it's
being hidden, it's just, you know, it's just China's war

(01:49:39):
on the United States just manages to sort of slip
through the cracks. I'm looking. I'm looking at a news
here of a Chinese scientist who was deported, deported or
will be deported because she was smuggling a dangerous fungus
into the United States. Michigan University re search for young

(01:50:01):
Queen John and her boyfriend. I mean, it's just amazing.
So this is part of China's war against the United States.
And it's going on all around us. And the problem is,
this is the main subject in my book. The main
problem is the amount of health they're getting from from
American political officials, from US corporate titans, from the media,

(01:50:23):
from from cultural giants. So yeah, unfortunately, this is going
on all around us.

Speaker 1 (01:50:29):
Yeah, and it's amazing too when you look at what
China is doing here in America and some of these
things keept getting exposed. You know, obviously that professor got exposed.
You saw recently in the news the former aid for
Ady Cuomo and Kathy Hokeel who ended up getting millions
of dollars for spying for the CCP. You saw fart

(01:50:50):
boy Eric Swallwell sleeping with the Chinese spy. You saw
who was it, the other California senator who had a
Chinese spy.

Speaker 2 (01:51:01):
Yeah, fine, Yeah, I have a long chapter in my
book on Dianne Feinstein and her husband, Richard Blum, a financier.
If you look at what was going on with that relationship,
I mean, basically they were the Chinese were making opportunities
available to Richard Blum in order to effectively pay off
Gane Feinstein for her support on different pro China policies.

(01:51:23):
It's shocking. And I talk about them not because they're unique.
I mean, they were perhaps the most most high profile
embodiment of the merger of the Chinese Communist Party with
American corporate and political elites. But it's it's been going
on a long time. Yeah, it's not them, it's tons

(01:51:44):
of them.

Speaker 1 (01:51:44):
Yeah, you're right. And one of the other ones, just
to be fair on this, is Tater Todd McConnell, his
wife's family. They're they're Chinese shipping maggots, magnets first words better.
So there was a lot of influence that was going
on there as well. And not that I want to
spoil the beans of this because I want people to
read it if it's in the book. But with the book,

(01:52:05):
do you go into the history of what the elite
has done with the deal making with China, because I
think there's a lot of people that don't understand that history,
which does go back, you know, several decades of how
they've manipulated a lot of our leaders in a lot
of our business elites and everything, and they've made these

(01:52:26):
these deals with China that are just mind boggling.

Speaker 2 (01:52:30):
That's what it is. Brian. Really, it's again, it's a
fifty year history. It goes back to Richard M. Mixon
and Henry Kissinger's opening to China, which was has been
celebrated for the last half century. Donald Trump says, and
you know that the problem goes back to that. It
goes back to the opening. A lot of people say, well,
you know, things have gotten bad since Clinton let China

(01:52:53):
and to the push China into the World Trade Organization.
But you know, the general idea was was a good idea.
It was a geopolitical mastership. No, it wasn't, you know,
And I document the evidence showing it's been a catastrophe. Look,
it's been a problem on the right end the left.
It's not just the Democrat it's the Republicans as well.

(01:53:14):
What Joe Biden did as vice president, what Joe Biden
did as president is shocking. What George W. Bush did
as president is shocking. What his Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson did.
I mean, the financial crisis in many ways, and Americans
suffered to make sure that the People's Republic of China,

(01:53:34):
the Baijiing government got off the hook. I mean, it's
just amazing. So if you go into this history as
I do fifty year history and your show. This is
what this is what the history is about, American elites pulling,
pulling the Chinese Communist Party out of the fire, saving
them again and again and again.

Speaker 1 (01:53:55):
Yeah, they really have and again for those that don't
know much of the history about it, it is disturbing
and I'm actually excited to check out this book. Again.
The book is called The China Matrix. Where can people
get the book, by the way, so that they cannot.

Speaker 2 (01:54:07):
Well, well, there's my great publisher, Center Street Publishing. They
can order directly from the publisher. But of course the
book is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble too,
as well as your independent booksellers. But yeah, I think
it's what I wanted to do with what I wanted
to do with The China Matrix ones. I wanted to
tell a story. I wanted to explain what's been going

(01:54:29):
on here. It's a history, but it's a story too
of the bad guys. The problem isn't just again, it's
not just the Chinese Communist Party. It's Americans who've been
protecting them, who've been defending them, who've been advancing their
interest against ours for half a century. And the good guys.
The protagonist in the book is Donald Trump, who's been

(01:54:52):
fighting this. He fought in his first term and he's
fighting the second term the second term here too.

Speaker 1 (01:54:57):
Yeah, And if there's anybody that knows about a lot
of that, it is Donald Trump. I mean, he's talked
about it for many years, the problems with China. So Lee,
let me ask you this, how much of an influence
and problem would you say China is today for America.

Speaker 2 (01:55:19):
The reason that Trump focuses on the trade deficit and
the reason why the teriff regime is central to his
China policy is because we've been funding the Chinese Communist
Party to the tune of half a trillion dollars for
at least two decades, I mean at least twenty five years,

(01:55:39):
going back to two thousand and one when the Chinese
first got into the World Trade Organization. So that's many,
many trillions of dollars. And with that money, as Trump
has pointed out, that's how they've built a very powerful army.
So when people talk about the problems with Taiwan, Taiwan
is a subset of the larger problem, and that's the
money that they the US dollars they acquire through the

(01:56:02):
trade deficit. If you look around, if you read the
papers we were talking. We started by talking Bran about
you know, this news slipping through the cracks. The way
the Trump administration, the way the president understands it is
all of these issues, whether we're talking about around the
nuclear problem, around nuclear facilities, whether we're talking about the

(01:56:23):
Russia Ukraine war, whether we're talking about Venezuela and drug dealers,
all of these are subsets of the China problem. This
is a very large access at the Chinese that the
Chinese have gathered around them, including Russia, including Iran, including
the Venezuelans. So there's stuff going on here in our
hemisphere as well. This is one of the reasons why

(01:56:43):
the Trump administration wisely reached out to help out Javier
and Milae in Argentina. We don't want an ally, we
don't want someone in our hemisphere another large power becoming
under the sway of the Chinese in this party. So again,
this is the major issue. Again, if you if you

(01:57:05):
if you understand that the China access is Donald Trump's
biggest problem, then that's how to read, that's how to
understand the news. It's how to read the newspapers, it's
how to understand uh, mainstream news that it's coming at.
They're not putting it together. But that's what the China
Matrix is showing you how all of these are subsets
of the larger issue that is the Chinese Communist Party. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:57:27):
Absolutely, And again it does go back to the history
of China, like like your book lays out for the
fifty years and and and it's amazing how many Americans
actually don't know that history. And and it's it's one
that you know, we we almost have to laugh at
this because if we don't, we're going to cry. All
of these problems that that China is creating, we're paying

(01:57:48):
for it. We created it. We we generated this monster,
and we gave them the money like you laid out,
and and now where it's like we're standing here going,
oh jeez, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:57:59):
And we paid happened, right, people want to know how
it happened, while I show I show how it happened,
But you talk about like why people are a little
surprised by I mean, a lot of the media has
been a lot of this sort of just trickles down
right the corporate interests have a stake in ties with China, right,
and so that's what the media reflects. And also Henry Kissinger,

(01:58:21):
if you look at Henry Kissinger built institutions to support
this understanding of China as a positive actor in world affairs.
If you look at Washington, the number of think tanks
and fellowships and scholarships and institutions and all these different
things named after Kissinger. What they're designed to do is

(01:58:42):
to promote this heroic narrative of China being so important
to the US. So it's hard for people to understand
the real story because the way that the story is
told by most people have a financial interest to say no,
you don't get it. China as a very good and
positive actor in world affairs. China is a China is

(01:59:04):
a huge threat to global stability, and it's a dangerous
and disgusting regime. And as it pains to point out
to people, I'm not talking about Chinese people, I'm talking
about communist regime. This is a communist regime that has
slaughtered tens of millions of its own people, perhaps up
to eighty million Chinese since the nineteen forty nine revolution.

(01:59:28):
Communist revolution. So it's an extraordinarily dangerous regime, responsible for
more deaths than anyone than Stalin and Hitler combined in
the last cent.

Speaker 1 (01:59:40):
Yeah, you know, one of the things that I read
a story about this and saw a lot of the
reporting on this, and we saw, obviously with the immigration
issues that we're having in this country, there we saw
a lot of people that were coming to this country
that were of the Chinese descent. And you know, I
think there's a lot of questions about the the spy aspect,

(02:00:01):
but I think the spy aspect are the ones that
are let out intentionally, the ones that like you know,
Fang Fang and you know, all these others that are
that are part of the the intentional from from China.
But you know, so people understand just how bad China is.
And I've talked about this before because I have a
friend who works in one of those secret Alphabet agencies
and has kind of told me about how China is

(02:00:22):
really truly on the internal kind of falling apart, and
they really it's not like this United Country, and it's
a miserable place to be. But people were literally, you know,
when you're a young man, you have to be in
the military. There's no ifans or butts about it. You're
in the military. So there's this report about how all
these military age Chinese men are sneaking across the border. Well,
I saw some interviews with some of these people, and

(02:00:43):
they're asking them what are you doing, what are you
coming here from your your military age, and they're like, look,
I didn't want to be in the military. I didn't
want to be in China. We had to give up
all of our our worldly possessions and everything that we
could to buy in a a permission slip to leave
the country so they can come here. And we've seen
a lot of that too, which I think is important

(02:01:05):
to people understand that even the Chinese people, they don't
want to be part of.

Speaker 8 (02:01:08):
China, right.

Speaker 2 (02:01:10):
I mean again, it's a poisonous regime and the people
who get to the top of that regime are soulless.
Let's put it like that. Look, when we're talking about
the immigration, immigration problem, you know we have we have
a big immigration problem in the country, and of course
we'd like to be able to make room for people

(02:01:31):
who should really be here, hard working people, decent, honest people.
That's always been the American way. But right now, I mean,
right now, we're totally incapable of screening the screening screening
this right now. I mean I'm just sending out for
hundreds of thousands of Chinese, you know, nationals with the
People's Republic of China. So who's the big guy and
who's a bad head guy, So that those numbers really

(02:01:55):
need to be get controlled because we've seen this, you know,
we've seen this with the universities as well. The FBI
can't cover this. I mean, you know, there are just
too many people here for the FBI to be looking
at for who are the bad guys? So I mean,
who knows if there are people who got through who

(02:02:16):
got through the FBI. We talked about this, you know,
University of Michigan researcher, who's being deported for smuggling in
this fungus. How many people are not getting caught. There's
so many of them. How many people are not getting caught.
So that's one of the real dangers. That's one of
the real dangers right now.

Speaker 1 (02:02:32):
Yeah. I mean, like like we said earlier, the woman
who was working with the Governor's office in New York,
I mean they're infiltrating the actual government. I don't know
if you saw this yesterday, Lee, and maybe get some
of your thoughts on this as to how legit we
can actually take this into consideration. But apparently China's coming
out and saying, oh, yeah, you know, yeah, all that
fentanyl stuff, we're going to stop sending that in anything

(02:02:55):
that's fentanyl related to America. We're not going to do
it anymore. How much of that do you think is bs.

Speaker 2 (02:03:02):
I'm happy that the FBI director, you know, I mean,
I've written about the director of cash Betel for a
long time. I wrote about him in the plot against
the President, and I think he's doing a terrific job.
I'm glad he put eyes on the people that they
have to deal with, and I think that's a very
important part of it. I certainly don't think that the
Chinese can be trusted to keep their word. They've been

(02:03:24):
pressed on this lots of time. So for me, again,
the big thing is the FBI director put his eyes
on these people and now knows not only who he
asked the call if he wants something done, but knows
who has the pressure and knows who has to basically
put in the crosshairs. Right, that's a big deal because
you know, it's a it's not just about Jijien Ping.

(02:03:46):
Of course he's the he's the premier, he's the big leader,
but there lots of other very negative actors there. And
so for the director to see to see who's behind this,
to be able to hold people accountable when they don't
keep their word, I say, think that's really important thing.

Speaker 1 (02:04:01):
Yeah, it really is. And when you look at the
the team that Donald Trump has assembled, uh, you know,
Cash Mattel is obviously doing a great job, but you
also have Scott Bessett, who's who's really been kind of
handling a lot of uh this international stuff and and
and the way that he talks about China too. And
if there's anybody that's a big fighter in in in
that administration, it's it's Scott Bessett. And you know there's

(02:04:23):
all those rumors about the fact that he's actually had
some fistfights with some people. I would love to watch those,
I really would.

Speaker 2 (02:04:28):
I think.

Speaker 1 (02:04:29):
I think honestly, the Scott Bessett should be the opening
uh m m A fight when when Trump has the
m m A fight at the the White House. I
think it would be amazing. But we we've seen a
lot of the trade issues and where do you where
do you think that trade is going to go? Uh
with China in the in in we obviously Trump wants

(02:04:50):
to to change this and make it, you know, the
America First Agenda. How how far do you think Trump
is going to be able to to get this done?

Speaker 2 (02:04:58):
Well, I mean he was, you know, in the first term.
I'll put it like this. I think it's very important
to understand that Donald Trump does not trust Ji Jinping.
And during the first of all, most obviously there was COVID.
Second of all, there was Trump was pushing for a
comprehensive trade deal with China Wan would solve a whole

(02:05:19):
bunch of issues. The g backed out of that. The
third issue then was the smaller Phase one trade agreement
that they that they signed at the end of January
in twenty twenty, and that's when COVID hit. The Chinese
have not fulfilled their obligations on that deal. So I
think the president and his age right now are going

(02:05:43):
in understanding they can't trust you at all. The big
thing again, the big thing for the president is to
eaven out the trade and balance there's certain things that
the administration would like, it wants, as it wanted during
the first term too. It wanted the Chinese to stop
demanding to stop stealing American intellectual you know, intellectual property.

(02:06:06):
They didn't do that. They're not going to do that.
Force tech transfers, they're not going to do that either.
It's a communist party. They cheat, It's the only way
it goes. The way that communist parties make money is
by stealing other people's money. This is a historical fact.
That's what they've been doing to the United States for
fifty years, right, So some of the things that they

(02:06:28):
say they want are not going to happen. The biggest
thing and the President understands this because it didn't happen before.
So I think the biggest thing right now is this
why the terif regime is so important. I wish that
the President would be able to explain this a little
more clearly the people that they understand how important it is.
But I also understand that it's part of the negotiation
negotiating tactic that he doesn't want to talk about it

(02:06:50):
too much. As much as I believe that he'd like
to address the American public he can't show all of
this card right now, but that's really the big deal
to even at that trade balance.

Speaker 1 (02:07:00):
Yeah, you're absolutely right. And of course there's all of
the land that is being bought here in America by China,
which there's some efforts I know here in Florida, Aronda
Santis is pushing to make it so that it's illegal
for China to owned property here. They bought up farmland
and all kinds of stuff. Which China's a big, old problem.
And you know, hopefully some people can can learn more

(02:07:21):
about China in the book. Again, the book is called
The China Matrix, The Epic Story of how Donald Trump
shattered a deadly packed which is really deep and like
you said, in the book, you know past fifty years
and the history of this is something I think a
lot of people need to learn so they understand this. Lee,
what do you what do you think about the potential

(02:07:43):
of the Taiwan situation? Do you think this is going
to erupt into a big problem?

Speaker 3 (02:07:48):
Well?

Speaker 2 (02:07:48):
No, as I sort of you know, suggested before the time,
a lot of people talk about Taiwan, but Taiwan's a
subset of a much bigger problem. If we're it certainly
concern that if the Chinese were to move on Taiwan,
this would threaten the United States position and in the Pacific.

(02:08:10):
The bigger problem, though, is how to China get such
a big navy, How did it get such a big army?
How did China get such advanced weapons systems? Our money?
That's what it is. It's trade and balance. So Taiwan
the real issue with Taiwan. You know, Pentagon is keen
for Taiwan to spend more money in its own and
its own defense, which makes sense. And so he realized

(02:08:31):
that the thirty thirty plus billion Taiwan will be spending
in twenty twenty six on its own defense is one
tenth of what China normally takes from US every year
with their trade surplus. So that's what needs to be addressed,
and that's why Donald Trump is focusing on the trade

(02:08:52):
and balance.

Speaker 1 (02:08:53):
That yeah, awesome, leastman at The book again is called
The China Matrix, The Epic Story of How Donald Trump
Shattered It in pack you can get it everywhere the
books are sold. Lee. I'm looking forward to grabbing the
book myself because I'm a big history buff and I
know a lot of the history behind the China thing,
and I can't wait to see your take on it
and how you've done this. Lee, thanks so much for
coming around and talk much.

Speaker 2 (02:09:14):
Thank you so much, Brian, and I am sure you
will enjoy the book. If you're a history buff, I am,
and if you like a good heroic story, I think
you'll like this book.

Speaker 1 (02:09:24):
Good deal. Thank can't wait to check that one out.
Li Smith, thank you so much again. In the book,
again it is called The China Matrix, the epic story
on how Donald Trump shattered a deadly pack. And again,
you know, when you learn some of the history behind
some of these things, you really get a better understanding
as to why things are going on. And as we
see the Left constantly trying to push Donald Trump with

(02:09:46):
with not being so on the attack of China, read
this and understand, and of course you'll also be pissed
off too. If Lee gets into this as much as
I know the history of of China and how we've
gotten to the point that we are with trade, you're
gonna be pissed because there are so many things with

(02:10:07):
our elite, with the ruling class, with how they basically
set up China to be an ATM card that we
are giving them. We give them the ATM card, and
they just made trillions of dollars off of us, and
then we have allowed them to become the superpower that

(02:10:27):
they are on our dime. It's an interesting history and
I hope you grab the book again. It's called The
China Matrix. The Epic Story of how Donald Trump Shattered
a deadly pack. We'll put the link to that up
on the on the on the the show's website, the
Brianreustshow dot com. We got to take a quick break though,
We'll be right back. This is the Brian Rush Show.
Good morning, all right, welcome back to the Bride Rush Show.

(02:11:04):
Big things once again into Lee Smith. The book called
again called The China Matrix, good history on the fifty
years of China. And if you read that, it may
give you some more ammunition when it comes to arguing
with the dumb left that go on about China and Trump,
and will really kind of give you a good understanding
of what it is that Donald Trump is doing with China,

(02:11:27):
why he's doing it, you know, the the history when
you look back on it of what America did. We
screwed ourselves when it came to China, you know, the
the the idea that, and of course this all started
with the left primarily, even though the right was also
very much so part of it. Where we had to
we had to be fair, we had to we had

(02:11:50):
to not let them just struggle on their own, and
we should open things up to them to help them
out with their manufacturing and everything else. Of course, you
remember that, you know, seventy eighty years ago China was
an ally to America and since then has obviously changed
a lot. But Americans just caved in to the communist

(02:12:13):
dictator regime of China. And not only did we cave
to it, but we went to them and said, hey,
let's bring all of our manufacturing to you. Let's give
you all of the money that's going on, let's give
you the trillions of dollars, and we'll be happy about it.
What could possibly go wrong? And we see what possibly

(02:12:37):
could go wrong, So gro grab the book. It'll be
it'll be a good read, especially on the history of
all of that, and it'll probably anger you a little
bit too, when you start to look at what it
is that the establishment and our elitists in this country
have done to US, and then there's other things when

(02:12:58):
it comes to just getting a little bit of details,
and you know, the Trump administration, like Lee was saying,
there's so many things that Trump should probably come out
and talk about, but really can't come out and talk
about because of the negotiations that are happening. And we
see the left just constantly on the attack of everything
that Donald Trump does, because, let's face it, while the

(02:13:21):
left may have a lot of the money, the reason
they have a lot of the money is because of corruption,
not because of their business sense, not because of their
ability to understand how to make money. It's all been corruption,
that's all it has been. And Scott Bessett went on MSNBC,
he went on The Morning Joe and he had a

(02:13:41):
a the conversation that has also come about where people
don't understand what it is. We've seen this multiple times
during the shutdown, which thankfully last night donald Trump signed everything,
so the shutdown will be ending today getting back to payments.
But we heard, oh, Donald Trump can starve the American people,

(02:14:02):
he can take away your food benefits, but he can
give Argentina twenty billion dollars. Well, it's not quite what
they understand. And Scott Bessett, who is the US Treasury Secretary,
which is he's one of my absolute favorites when it
comes to the Trump administration. This guy is probably the

(02:14:23):
most level headed, calm, cool, collective badasses there is in
the Trump administration. And he puts people in their place.
And he was on the Morning Joe and they were
talking about basically the twenty billion dollars that was lend
to Argentina, or given to Argentina, as the life Left

(02:14:47):
likes to say, while Americans starved. Here's the interaction that
went down.

Speaker 9 (02:14:53):
So, mister Secretary, and amid this discussion of costs and
prices and affordability, how does a twenty million dollars bailout
of Argentina help Americans?

Speaker 1 (02:15:03):
You're the President's point person on that.

Speaker 9 (02:15:05):
Can you explain to those here who are feeling the pinch,
including America's farmers, why the United States is helping out Argentina?

Speaker 2 (02:15:13):
Well?

Speaker 1 (02:15:13):
Can you do you know what a swap line is?
It's currency swap, yes, yes, but what what is that?

Speaker 8 (02:15:19):
You're the Treasure secretary, Yes, but why would you call
it a bailout? That is how in most bailouts you
don't make money. The US government made money. We used
our financial we use our financial balance sheet to stabilize
the government. Are one of our great allies in Latin America.
During an election, the president there one a landslide. The

(02:15:41):
government's going to make money. And I would rather use
peace through economic strength than have to be shooting at
Narco boats coming offshore if the government collapse. We have
a generational opportunity in Latin America to create allies. We
saw an election in Bolivia, We're probably going to see

(02:16:02):
an election in Colombia. We've seen him in Ecuador, We're
going to see him in in the Chile. So by
stabilizing the economy there and making a profit, then that's
a very good deal for the American people. And there's
a lot we could have been doing for American farmers.

(02:16:22):
But Democrats close the government.

Speaker 9 (02:16:25):
So how has the United States made money off of this?
And you talk about trying to make more regional relationships.
The United States is shooting alleged Narco votes in international
waters off the coast of Venezuela. The United States has
not provided evidence yet that those are indeed drug traffickers.
So how are these two things working in tandem?

Speaker 8 (02:16:46):
We are pre empting the collapse of a government and
going back to a Paronas agenda and a left wing government.
What if somebody had raised their hand and said, look
at what's happening with Goo shave Is, look at what's
happening with Maduro and they helped the opposition there.

Speaker 10 (02:17:08):
Mister secreor, I'm just curious just to clarify, have we
have we made our money back already from the Argentina
bell out or the swap line or whatever you call it.
Have we made that money back?

Speaker 1 (02:17:24):
Now?

Speaker 10 (02:17:25):
Are you saying we're going to make that money back
from them over time? Like, what's the payout for that?

Speaker 8 (02:17:33):
We already have a profit on that swap line, so
we have we given them?

Speaker 10 (02:17:40):
Did we transfer twenty billion dollars?

Speaker 8 (02:17:42):
So we've got that's absolutely not. We made a line
of credit available and okay, a small amount of it
was drawn on, and we have made a profit on that.

Speaker 1 (02:17:58):
Oops, we're gonna bring Scott Bessett on and uh, we're
gonna stick it to him. And then again listening to
Scott Bessett, the Treasury secretary, cool calm, collective, Hey, do
you even know what the hell you're talking about? You don't.
You don't know what you're talking about. So let me

(02:18:19):
explain it to you and just completely shoot them down.
Morning Joe trying to come in so, uh, you know,
is this this is one of these things where we're
gonna make some money out of it? Oh, what's going on?
Do we give them all the money? No, it's a
it's a line of credit. It's a line of credit.
We've already made money on it. We haven't given them
all the money. It's it's a line of credit that

(02:18:40):
they can you know, when they need it. It's there
for him, and we're making money off of it now,
not going to We've made money.

Speaker 2 (02:18:49):
Off of it.

Speaker 1 (02:18:53):
Okay, Uh, next guest please. This is why I love
Scott Bessett. Scott Bessett has been hands down the most
badass fighter that Donald Trump has had when it comes
to getting out there and shutting down the left. You know,
they come out and they're, uh, you know this this
bailout or line of credit or whatever it is that

(02:19:13):
you're calling it. Like here you are bringing the Secretary
Secretary of Treasury on to talk about this thing, and
nobody did any research because what they wanted to do
is continue the narrative about how Americans are starving. Americans
are not getting their food assistance program. You know, forty

(02:19:35):
one million out of three hundred and sixty million that
they're they're all starving. All Americans are hungry. And you
know we're bailing out Argentina. Yeah, it's not a bailout.
They're not getting all of the money. We are making
money off of it. It's a line of credit. Okay,
this line of credit or bailout or whatever it is.

(02:20:00):
And the entire panel was just like dumbfounded. They did
have a couple of people on the panel that were
financial people, and you can see the uncomfortableness of the
actual experts as the reporter was asking the question. Like
one guy that was sitting in between the reporter and
and Scott Bessett, you can see him do that like
deep breath, like oh, this isn't gonna go the way

(02:20:21):
he thought it was going to go. I mean, you
can tell the body language, the look in his face
was like hmm, he's gonna eat you for lunch right now.
You watch here it goes, and you can see him
just kind of looking over at him like stop, stop,
don't you're digging yourself deeper, don't do it anymore. And
he did it. But the incredible thing that I don't

(02:20:41):
think is getting enough credit when it comes to the
Donald Trump administration is the brilliant people that are really
truly there and the brilliance of what Donald Trump is doing.
You know, instead we have to complain because, oh, look,
Donald Trump looks tired in a meeting. You know what,
he probably is tired. The man works like nobody's business.
I mean, he works so much. Yeah, he's gonna be

(02:21:05):
a little bit on the tired side. But when you
compare him to Joe Biden, who, as we know, wasn't
even really the president anyhow, but he all he did
is take naps. Sure, Donald Trump is sitting in a
meeting where he's letting somebody else talk. Do you think
he's thrilled about that? Donald Trump is probably going screw it.

(02:21:27):
I'm just gonna, oh go ahead, okay, all right, my
turn to chime in on this, and then he comes alive. Look,
Donald Trump is kind of an egomaniac. We all know this.
We all know that Donald Trump has got a gigantic ego.

(02:21:48):
He likes it to be fed. He likes to be
the person in charge. We don't have a problem with that.
That's the reason why we hired the guy. What's that, Mary,
And you think you think Trump looks very good? And
you know what he considering considering everything. I mean, number one,
there is the vain issue that he's having, which he's

(02:22:09):
still getting up and able to walk around. He's still
able to do all the stuff that he's doing. He
does look like, by the way, he's lost some weight,
which is a which is a great thing for Donald.
But the left, all they're gonna do is attack him. See,
he can't even stand up, he's got to sit down
in the chair. And now he's falling asleep. Yeah, but
what were you doing at two o'clock in the morning.

(02:22:31):
Now he was sleeping, Okay, the President of the United
States was up at two o'clock in the morning. The
President of the United States picks up the phone at
two o'clock in the morning and calls leaders on the
other side of the planet to chat. Donald Trump is
non stop doing all of the stuff that he is doing.
He's in charge of it. He's the architect of everything

(02:22:52):
that the Trump administration is doing. As a matter of fact,
there's reports from the first time around, and there's some
from the second time around again about how Donald Trump
is actually a difficult person to keep up with. You know,
they said that about Joe Biden. You know Joe Biden.

(02:23:12):
Oh my god, Joe Biden. He works so hard and
he runs circles around everybody. It's not a circle that
he's running. He fell down and he can't get back up,
and he's like that cat toy with the tail that
spins around in a circle. That's what's going on. Joe
Biden was never running circles around people. He was never
on top of anything. Donald Trump is and is there

(02:23:34):
a time where he's going to be tired? Hell yeah,
Look at the man go. I mean, I'm one of
my thirty years younger than he is, and I have
a hard time sometimes and look, I work my ass off.
I mean, and I told you about this. How last
week alone, the aviation job between Friday and Sunday and Friday,

(02:23:57):
like going Friday to Friday and the NATting Saturday and Sunday,
I put in ninety five hours, ninety five hours there.
On top of that, I also put in another thirty
hours plus doing this show. And I felt a little
bit run down, and Donald Trump still runs circles around

(02:24:18):
me when it comes to that. I mean, it's just
that's right, he Texas Tyrus at three am. It's true,
you know, I'm I can only imagine what it's like
being in Donald Trump's inner circle because of the fact
that the man never sleeps, He never stops.

Speaker 3 (02:24:33):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:24:34):
Sometimes I think there's people that wish that they would
take his phone away from him, because he is notorious
for doing that. And it's it's not just that he's
he's bored. He'd be like, oh, I got a thought,
I got a question, Hang on a second, and he
would or he would pick up the phone and call somebody.
You know. Another example of how Donald Trump is able

(02:24:56):
to do this. And I love the story. And it
was and they were negotiating, working on the whole Ukraine
Russia peace deal, which obviously is still a big one
that's weighing on Donald Trump and he's trying to get
it done. But you know, he had all these people
in there, including Zelenski, and he goes, hang on a second,
you know, hey, lad, how you doing Donnie over here?

(02:25:17):
And he just picks up the phone and he calls
the president that defies political protocol. You're not supposed to
do that. You don't as the president of the United States.
You don't pick up the phone and dial the president
of Russia. It's not how it works the way that
it's supposed to be. Is it's supposed to be, Hey,

(02:25:39):
a range of phone call for me as soon as
we can with the President of Russia. And then the
staff goes off, and the staff reaches out of their
staff and they reach out to the State Department staff,
and then the State Department reaches out to the Russia staff,
and the Russia staff will reach out to the Putin staff,
and then Putin staff will get to Putin, and then
Putin will say, uh yeah, how about two o'clock. Okay, Well,

(02:26:00):
then it goes back to that staff, and then it
goes to this staff, and then over to this staff,
and then back over to this down and eventually it
gets to Donald Trump and he goes, hey, how about
two o'clock. Donald Trump has the power in the ability
to literally direct dial the leaders of our world, and
they answer the phone. Nobody's doing the Donald Trump's calling here.

(02:26:25):
Staff member answer that. Let me let me find out
what's going now. He calls them, show me another president
in our history that has done that. And then on
top of that, show me another president in our history,
Republican or Democrat that understands international trade. None of them do.

(02:26:46):
And none of them well, I can't say that none
of them understand this or know this. They probably do.
But they're part of the corruption of the problem of it.
And that is the whole China thing. Like we were
talking with Li Smith in the last seb minute about
his book The China Max, the History behind the trade
deals with China. And again, if you don't know much

(02:27:07):
about these, I don't want to ruin your day, but
one get this book and read some of this about
that deal. You will see what it was that our
political elite, in our business elitists did to negotiate with
China to essentially give them everything. You know, back when

(02:27:29):
we saw how American made went from American maid to
Chinese made, the American political power machine literally called up
China and said, hey, I got a silver platter. Here's
all of our trade industry here you want it. Here's
our manufacturing here. We'll give that to you. Oh you know,
while we're at it, we're going to give you a
whole ton of money too. And on top of that,

(02:27:51):
you're going to make even more money off of all
of the trade industry and the manufacturing that we have
literally given you. And some of the reasoning behind it
was because we have to be fair. Really, how is
that fair? That's not fair in any way. And once
you look at what Donald Trump is doing when it
comes to the manufacturing and what he's trying to get

(02:28:13):
back here, and of course it all started with this
first first term, which Joe Biden tries to take credit
for it, which look, when it comes to this manufacturing,
it takes time. You got to build the facilities, you
got to get things up and running. It's now one
of these things where you go, I'm going to go
build something, and you walk over to a building and
you build it. It's a lot more complex than that.
And Donald Trump also pointing out too that with this shutdown,

(02:28:35):
another thing that the Democrats have hurt the American economy
on first off, there's billions of dollars that got affected
on it, and billions of dollars in small businesses that
got affected. Like you look like an area here in
the Panama City area, we have two military bases here.
We have a lot of military, a lot of government
workers here, and you see some of the small businesses

(02:28:59):
that came to the military. And of course in Florida,
we have other areas. We've got Eggland, We've got Hurlbert,
We've got EDAs, Pensacola, We've got Jacksonville, We've got Tampa.
We've got all these military facilities that are huge facilities
with a lot of people in it that have said, ooh,
not getting paid right now, so I'm not going to
be able to go out to that restaurant. Ooh, not

(02:29:21):
getting paid right now, so we're not going to go
out and buy this new thing. There was a lot
of that in the in the past month and a
half and that has affected the economy billions of dollars.
But it's also affected the trade aspect and the manufacturing
and the tar stuff that Donald Trump was wanting to do,
because well, government was shut down and people went, ooh,

(02:29:43):
not sure if this is a good idea right now,
look at what's going on with the US government. So
things kind of got held back. If the Democrats could
get out of their own damn way, which is hard
for them to do, they would understand what it is
that Donald Trump is doing and how how amazing it
would be for this country. And again I've talked about
how there are times when I think the left should

(02:30:09):
take credit for things that they didn't do just for
the political aspect of it. And you can do it
right now. You could take everything that Donald Trump is
doing and you get on board, because what Donald Trump
is doing is going to be great for this country.
But if you got on board, as much as you
want to hate Donald Trump, quietly get on board and say,

(02:30:32):
all right, Trump, I have an area in my district
here in California where we have the infrastructure to be
able to do this manufacturing. What can we do to
speed this up. I know that you're you're bringing in
all these trillions of dollars, and I know that you
want to get all this stuff to happen. But look
what I've got in my district is I've got a

(02:30:55):
manufacturing plant, building facility, whatever it is that can fit X,
Y and Z. Let's work a deal. And then when
the deal gets worked out, you turn around as the
politician and say, hey, I got this here. I brought
this to our district here in California. I am the
one that is responsible for bringing all these thousands of

(02:31:17):
jobs in here. I'm the one who went to Donald
Trump and said give it to us. I'm the one
who did this. Even though it's all Donald Trump. The
Democrats couldn't take that opportunity. But instead of doing that,
they're fighting Donald Trump and they're hurting their own areas.
I mean, as a politician, that's what I would do.

(02:31:39):
I would totally go and steal that credit for myself
to benefit my community. And look, if you're a politician,
regardless to what side you're on, that you have an
area where there is a manufacturer capability, if you've got
a workforce, if you've got the infrastructure that is there

(02:31:59):
to to go, and you have people that are struggling
to eat, to be able to pay their rent or
their mortgages, don't have the job and you bring in
that manufacturing. I mean, just here, here's my reelection campaign stuff.
I'll just sign it out. Boom. I'm getting reelected because
of what I did. And you could be the big

(02:32:21):
hero and you don't even have to give Donald Trump
the credit. Yeah, Donald Trump worked out all that stuff.
But you know, Donald Trump said he was gonna bring
it here, but he didn't have anywhere to bring it.
I did, so I took care of it and made
it happen. See the opportunities that even the left are
missing out on to be able to be who they

(02:32:43):
want to be. I mean, look, take advantage of it.
Take advantage of it to even in the end, screw
Donald Trump and the Republicans. Where you get all this
manufacturing and all this stuff brought to your districts, and
then you turn around and you guys, at a collective
Democrat way go, he brought this. You don't need another
Republican candidate. Look if he had the ideas, but we

(02:33:05):
actually made it happen. But they're too dumb because right
now the only thing that they can do is hate
on Donald Trump. The Trump derangement syndrome has gotten to
a point that is so bad that even politicians can't
act like a politician and lie about things in the
way that benefit an area. And I'm telling you it's

(02:33:30):
only gonna get worse with the Democrats because there are
no more people in the Democrat Party that think that way.
And when you look at who you've got in the
in the in the Democrat Party for leaders, you have
people like Jasmine Crockett. Where Jasmine Crockett her idea of
being successful is that I have more followers than the

(02:33:54):
other person. Who gives a flying fuck about that. Tell
me how much you're helping my district and getting me
and my neighbor's job. That's what I want to know,
not that you've gotten more followers than the other person,
because that doesn't mean anything. I mean, I have a
lot of followers on different social media, and I can

(02:34:15):
tell you that, like on TikTok alone, I know because
I don't really post that often on TikTok, and I
know that the thirty forty friends and followers that I
get a day on this thing, which I know is
not much, but I'm not making any effort. I'm just
they just happen to come up. They're all bots. It's

(02:34:36):
all bots. I mean, I'll take them whatever numbers or numbers,
but they're not real people. And so many of these
followers are not real people. So you know, it does
make you wonder how many Republicans have said, Hey, let's
bought the living hell out of jazz muc Crockett. There
we go, and she's getting bombarded with these bot followers,

(02:34:56):
and they're not real because I think if they were
real followers, she would have a lot more support, which
she really doesn't. But I think we are witnessing again,
like I said in the beginning of the show, the
death of the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party is over
as we know it, and it is going to become
the Democrats, the socialist Democrats of America, because that is

(02:35:19):
all that they have for candidates. It's all that they
have for ideas, and even the ideas that they have
really have no base on how to get to them.
You know, it's all utopian stuff. The book that I
read that was so fantastic that said life can be
so good if we just give everything for free. Where

(02:35:41):
does the free stuff come from? It's free, we just
give it to them. Oh, it's kind of like writing
a law that if I write a law that says
make it affordable, that it can be made affordable. That's
that's not how that works. But the Democrats live in
such a fantasy land, and the Republicans don't have the
balls to stand up and say you're living in a
fantasy land. That's not real world. And again one of

(02:36:04):
the examples of not living in the real world that
people are experiencing is the gen Z. And I've talked
about this all the time, and I'll say it again
because it needs to be said. You look at gen Z.
Half of them are the ones that have now graduated
college and they've they were going through this utopia. Things
are gonna be so great. Everything's gonna be free, and

(02:36:25):
it's gonna be awesome, and oh my god, I'm gonna
I'm gonna have a life of my own and I'm
gonna have all these things. And all of a sudden,
I get my degree and I walk out and go
They lied to me. None of what they said is true.
And the Republican Party again misses out on it. Donald
Trump almost missed out on it if it wasn't for
Baron Trump saying, Dad, knock it off. You have to

(02:36:48):
go after these people. The Republican Party needs to get
smart and shoes. You're right. Maybe maybe I do need
to reach out to Joe Cruder and just be like,
buddy Pow. Listen, when's the next time you're coming to Florida,
because we need to talk. Maybe somebody needs to kick
Groder Joe Gruder in the ass as well. And say
wake up. Get into high mode. By the way, don't

(02:37:10):
be mister nice guy. Get into attack mode and do it,
because that's what you got to do, was that Harry
Sisson has a lot of followers. He does. But you
know what, here's the thing about Harry Sisson. I follow him.
I follow him on on multiple platforms, and I know
there's also a lot of other creative conservative creators that

(02:37:30):
also follow him. There's a lot of people like me
that follow him just to see the stupid shit he's
gonna say next. I mean, we do so a lot
of Harry Sisson's followers. And again, if you watch some
of his stuff and go into the comments section, there
was a time when when when Harry under the Joe

(02:37:51):
Biden administration, when the Democrat Party was actually working with him,
where he would he would make a comment and there
would be you know, hundreds of people that would be
you know, oh my god, that is so right, that's
so private, that's exactly what I think. And then if
you go in there and say that's stupid, they would
attack you relentlessly. Now I can go into Harry Sisson's

(02:38:15):
account and I can say something and sometimes in a
rather Brian direct kind of way, and the only thing
that I will get is a are you sure you
want to post it that way? Yes, post it. But
nobody fights back anymore because most of the people that
are following this kid are people like me that just

(02:38:36):
need a little bit of entertainment seeing some stupid That's
really what it is. And Lee, I will I'll take
one for the team. I do it all the time.
And this is the reason for why I follow so
many of these these stupid leftists to see what it
is that they're saying, and it is it's entertaining. Uh, Fixer, Yes,
I agree with you on that too. I think that

(02:39:00):
Harry all right, Look listen, he talks about the girlfriend
all the time. Oh my god, I get the girlfriend.
She's still wonderful. And what do you see from the girlfriend.
There was the photo that he posted where she was
sitting on his lap with her back facing the camera,

(02:39:21):
and he's kind of like peered around the corner like
I got a girl. The girl he likes me. But
you know what, if you if you pay attention, sometimes
there are transgenders. I'm just saying, there are transgenders that
if you didn't do a shielda check, you wouldn't know,
So just throwing that out there. There's the other picture
that I love too, which makes me laugh hysterically when

(02:39:43):
I see it. It's the one where apparently the girlfriend
has her arm over his shoulder and he crops her
her out and it's just her hand over his shoulder. Now,
I have some good sized hands. My hands are not
petit little hands at all, and I would do the
I do the over the shoulder thing, and I look

(02:40:05):
and I go, I've never met a woman with hands
bigger than me. And when I compare where my hand
lands on the shoulder and I compare where they hand
lands from the girlfriend of Harry, Look, maybe there are

(02:40:31):
some younger women out there with gargantuan sized hands out there.
Take it for what you want. And then of course
there was the controversy with with hair Bear, where you know,
all the women that were coming out and talking about
how he was a little over aggressive with the trying

(02:40:55):
to hook up with them kind of thing. You know,
it's kind of one of those I've got to proved
to everybody. I got to prove to everybody that I
don't like boys. I'm gonna go sleep with all the
girls that I can, will one of the girls please
sleep with me? And they're all like no, and then
he would harass them. First off, Harry, I gotta tell

(02:41:16):
you this as a real man, a real man would
never treat a woman that way. A real man would
respect a woman and wouldn't say the things that you
said and harass the women that you did just because
of the fact that they wouldn't hook up with you.
Let's face it, Bud, You're not always gonna get a

(02:41:37):
base hit. Rarely do you get a home run. Sometimes
you'll get just a bunt, you'll get a foul ball
that doesn't even make it to the pitcher's mound. So
to treat women the way that you did, just to
prove something not good. And then when the photo that
you posted and all the soy boys posted this one,

(02:41:58):
it's just look man, And if you want to prove
to us that you and women get along, piece of advice,
find some Well, actually, this probably wouldn't work out too well.
I was gonna say, find some manly men to hang
out with. But if you were to get some manly
men to hang out with and get to pictures taken,

(02:42:21):
they're all gonna be like, so that's the bitch of
the team there. Uh huh, yeah. I think there's a
video on that. But it's like he hangs out with
all the femboys all the time. It's like, dude, you
don't convince us that you're manly, not at all. What's

(02:42:41):
that he reminds you of of Kansas City? Dancing around?
Did you guys ever see the video that he did
him and Chris Mari It went viral for like a
half a heartbeat, and I think it was like in
the election of Joe Biden or something where the two
of them were like dancing around in the room to
get together. Look, if you want to dispel the rumors,

(02:43:07):
don't add fuel to the fire. That's all I'm saying.
Just don't add the fuel to the fire besides us
on our side. You know, if it's if it's the
way you are, Harry, it's okay, It's gonna be fine.
You and Chris make a beautiful couple and I hope
that you both have a wonderful life together. Anyhow, all right,

(02:43:30):
that's it. We got to get out of here. Tomorrow.
