Speaker 1 (01:41):
All right, good morning and welcome to the Brian rush
Show here on Rumble Wimken and of course on the
podcast as well. Thank you so much for checking us
out today. Do appreciate it. It's a Red Friday where
we remember everyone who is deployed, including all of our
now finally to be paid border patrol agents, ice agents,
and federal workers all the country. They are trying to

(02:01):
save the country from what the left is doing. So yeah,
thank you to everybody, especially thank you to everybody who
is serving around the country in our armed forces as well.
We appreciate you and we remember you as you were deployed.
Where do we go today? Where do we go? The

(02:21):
levels of drama? It is just I don't know today.
By the way, Mark Mix is going to be joining
us on the show. Still waiting to hear if the
Doster Boys want to join us today or not. I'm
not sure if that's gonna happen. We'll we'll find out
later on this morning. But either way, a lot to
talk about, the government finally reopening, and Charlie's actually in

(02:41):
studio with us this morning. All right, buddy, we almost
need a Charlie cam because he loves his new seat
and he comes in and just plops hisself down and
cuddles up rogu Rade. Good morning to you. What up? Also,
good morning to everybody that is listening and slash watching
today on Rumble and Whimpy. Can I just tell you this,

(03:02):
and I've said this before and This is no ass kissing.
It really isn't. I have such a great audience. And
I know that every show host always says the same thing,
that they got a great audience, But I really do,
and I've got to tell you this.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Now.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
I said this on Monday when we talked about the
fact that that network here in the state of Florida
that dropped the show on Friday and replaces something that
a lot of people have said was not a very
good show. But whatever I've said from the very beginning,
I really don't care about that at all. But I

(03:39):
do got to say this. The number of people that
have reached out to me upset about the fact that
we're no longer on the terrestrial radio, no longer able
to hear the show at work or whatever it may
be on your way into work. Look, it's hard warming,
you know, And it's one of these things where I

(04:00):
know it should be in a lot of teases. It
is hot in here too. Hang on second, I got
to turn a fan on it was so cold earlier.
Hang on a second, the AC has not kicked in
because it's been so freaking cold outside in the knockodoff studio.
Actually warming up today so turn the fan on a
little bit, maybe cool to town a little bit. So No, Seriously,

(04:22):
the audience that we have had on this show, and
we've been on this show now for a little over
six years that we've been doing, we've grown. We've grown
a fan base that is, uh, that is kind of awesome.
What is that, Michael? We are kind of awesome, aren't we?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah, y'are. And I have been getting messages reaching out
to me all week, a lot of them going, hey,
what happened to your show? Where is it? And of
course I've been having to tell people that, you know,
the show is now here on Rumble and Wimpken and
on the podcast. I have put out some feelers potentially
for another radio station. We'll see it happens if they

(05:01):
if they want to or not. It would make sense
for them to pick up the show because their show
that is on in the morning timeslot. I whooped his
ass in the ratings. I mean I didn't just beat
him for five straight years. I whooped his ass like
My audience was five six times sometimes even bigger than his.

(05:25):
So it would make sense to pick up this show,
and I've offered it to them. I offered it to
them before, and I am offering it to them again,
so if they want it, you know, it's there negotiating.
You know, I'm willing to to figure out something and
we'll do it rhetorics. We are going to throw it

(05:46):
up on YouTube as well. I mean we kind of
when we get around to it, we throw a show
up there. But I gotta tell you, the whole going
live onto YouTube's a pain in the ass, not to
mention they're they're so tough with their censorship and everything
else that it's kind of a pain. But we'll see,
we'll see what happens. And yeah, Ricky, we do. We
tell them to to join Wimken. We tell them to

(06:07):
join Rumble. Uh, we tell them to listen to the podcast.
But there is the possibility that we we may get
another radio station, uh maybe locally. We we've like I said,
we put out the fillers to it to see if
if they want to. It would be a smart move
because look, here's the thing about my audience. Uh, not
only are you just guys great, you're a loyal audience.

(06:30):
And you know, and this is this goes into the
business a little bit of of broadcasting in the advertising aspect.
You know, when when you have a show that is
on that people listen to, you want them to listen
to it. You want them to be faithful to it,
but you also want them to trust the host. And
if the host says, hey, uh, you should go check

(06:51):
out this business, and here's my here's my rule. I
have an absolute, ironclad rule when it comes to endorsements.
I will not endorse anybody unless I have experienced their service.
Just won't happen. I don't care how much money you
throw at me. My reputation of what I like is

(07:16):
worth more to me than any dollar amounts. So anytime
that I have done endorsements, and you know that I've
done endorsements, you know obviously American Charlie's one of my
favorite restaurants. I love going there. You know the mister
Ruter Plumbing of Panama City, that's actually my plumber. It's
not just an advertising I mean they actually are my plumber.

(07:37):
They come and handle all my plumbing issues. So these
are things that I've endorsed and I believe in them.
So I would never endorse something that didn't believe in it.
And people who have advertised on my show have seen
immense success. I mean there was and I won't get
into the company that said this, but there was a

(07:58):
company that we went too to say, hey, you want
to advertise on the show, and they were like, I know,
I really don't know if it's going to really be
all that great. And I stepped in on the thing
and explained to them, you know, the benefits of advertising
who listens to the show, and the owner was like, okay,

(08:20):
we'll give it a shot. And they gave it a shot,
and they basically said that they were not going to
do it for very long. They were just going to
do it for a little while and that was it.
And and we're not quite sure about it. And we
went to a second meeting with them after everything started
and they're like, well, you know, yeah, we've had a
few people that came in. And then we had to
tell them. I was like, you just wait just a second.

(08:43):
Two years later, they were still advertising on the show
because of the fact that this audience heard about it
on the show and went there. So, I mean, it's
it's a very effective thing. So if the other local
radio station wants the show, call me, we will take
care of it. Maybe cee an En you know, rud Rag,
Here's the thing. If CNN called me right now and said, hey,

(09:05):
we would love for you to come do a show
on CNN, I would do it. I absolutely would do it.
But again it goes under the you would have to
fit into the certain categories. Like number one, don't tell
me what to say. I mean, that's first and foremost.
Number two, understand that I am who I am and
deal with who I am, and don't try and change me.

(09:26):
But other than that, like if CNN or any of
these other networks had called me and said, hey, you
want to do a show, I would do it in
a heartbeat. I would absolutely do it in a heartbeat.
And you know what, here's the thing with CNN. They
do need a show that is going to be different
from what they've got now. And deep down inside, I

(09:48):
think CNN is actually realizing, because you're seeing some things
from time to time, that they have to change, that
they have to start becoming more honest, that they have
to start becoming more middle of the road. And I've
said about CNN all along, I've said that CNN shouldn't
go you know, left, shouldn't go right, should go right
in the middle of the road, tell the facts about things,

(10:08):
but they also need a show that is just kind
of a you know, kind of a smart ass got
a show, I mean seriously, But anyhow, we'll we'll see
what happens with the growth of the show in the meantime.
Like I have promised from the onset of when the
radio station that we were on sold, that I was

(10:29):
not going anywhere. We were not going to stop the show.
We will continue doing the show in one form or another,
and that's all there is to it. So we are
continuing even though at this point in time we're not
making any money doing the show other than whatever somebody
buys would knock get Off coffee. And here's the thing
with knock It Off Coffee, and the distributor that we

(10:52):
work with, wo k not Get Off Coffee, has told
me multiple times that I'm the prices are too low
for the coffee because everybody else that they work with
with the with their distributors, charges at least four or
five dollars more than I do. But it wasn't that.
That wasn't the main reason for why we did the

(11:13):
Knock It Off coffee And honestly, I'm not gonna go
raising the prices of the knock it Off coffee just
so that we make it extra couple of bucks. It's
not gonna happen. So there is that. We did lose
obviously some significant revenue when we came off of the network,
but you know what it is, what it is, we
have a bigger fight to do than that, and you know,

(11:33):
maybe we'll make up that revenue at some point some way,
but in the meantime, we have a bigger fight to do.
And the biggest fight really truly is with this retarded
ass left. I mean it really is. I popped open
X this morning and it came across a came across
a post, and it was a repost of what the

(11:54):
White House had posted where Donald Trump is in the
Oval office, and a couple of chillildren came in and
they said the best president with a heart emoji and
the first let me scroll up to the first one
that I saw. Yeah, first one. First one came from
that ed crapistine jackass saying that Trump should not be

(12:17):
allowed within four hundred feet of any child or minor. Really,
you're gonna say that about Donald Trump? Has Donald Trump
been the one that you're of the shoulders of this
little girl. I love the way the little girl smells
in the morning. I mean, is that Donald Trump? No,

(12:41):
that was Joe Biden. And you want to get out
and you want to say, oh, Donald Trump shouldn't be
four hundred feet and you're a child or a minor,
explain to me why, Well, because of the Epstein list,
don't go down that road, because you know you're gonna
get bit back on that one. Don Old Trump has
always been like that, very grandfatherly figure. You know, he's

(13:04):
he's been very good with the kids. You know. One
of the moments that I absolutely love and I don't remember.
I don't know if you remember this. There was a
press conference that was being done in the Oval office
in Trump one point zero and I don't know exactly
remember what it was. It was something to do with
healthcare or something. And this little boy, who was standing
off to his left was standing there and and look,

(13:27):
children are a good just like dogs. Children are a
good judge of character. If there's somebody that's that's creepy,
that is not good, not cool whatsoever, a child is
not gonna want to be up there. I mean, how
many times have you done that? You take your child
and you go here. You want to get in the
kids like, hell no, I don't want to go to
that person. Kids know. And that little boy was sitting

(13:49):
there and he had this admiration looking up at Donald
Trump like this is great. I just I want to
and you see him like inching over to him a
little bit, and he finally like he caught Donald Trump's
attention and he looked over to him, and Donald Trump
reaches out to give him a hug. And this kid
like jumps into Donald Trump to get a hug from him.

(14:09):
That's not the sign of a creepy man. And it's
such a hard warming moment too, because you see Donald
Trump's face lights up, you know, like a grandpa lights up,
not like some pervert going. I could smell him from here.
So explain to me what it is that all of

(14:30):
a sudden Donald Trump is so creepy that we have
to keep him away from children. And I thought, oh, hell,
this is this is just one, this particular, this this
idiot on X. He's always doing stupid shit like this,
So it doesn't bother me any and it doesn't amaze
me any. But then I scrolled down. I'm kind of

(14:50):
looking through a couple of things, and up here comes
Harry says, so on, I wouldn't leave him alone with
these kids? Why why not? Harry? I mean, what about
your jojo. It's just it's so funny how these guys
will pick these certain things and then scrolling through and
finding a whole bunch of others where it's kind of

(15:12):
saying the same thing. Because here's the thing that the
left has got a problem with right now. They've got nothing.
They've got nothing on Donald Trump. They thought that they
were gonna be able to crush him with the shutdown,
and it didn't work. Everything backfired on him. So again
the ironic timing that the day that the shutdown decides

(15:35):
it's going to be over. Oh hey we got emails. Look, hey,
look check out the emails that we got here from
the Epstein family that didn't give them to other people. Yeah,
we got these. Look it says all this bad stuff.
You know. One of the emails that they were talking
about was talking about how Donald Trump knew what Giselle
was doing. See see he knew, Yes, he did know,

(15:58):
he knew. And in those emails, if you saw them
in the original context and not the re edited redacted
versions that they sent out the other day. You would
know that in that email, Donald Trump was being referred
to as knowing what Giselle Maxwell was doing and telling
her to stop. This was post him finding out about

(16:24):
Epstein and kicking him out of mar Lago, finding out
what it is that Giselle was doing and telling Giselle
to stop doing it. Remember Donald Trump, in what was
the twenty fourteen I think it was, he was questioned
by some reporters asking him if he knew anything about
the Epstein thing, and he was like, yeah, let's sit down,

(16:46):
let me tell you about some stuff. Here's some things
that you need to look into, because Donald Trump knew.
There's been no evidence, no indications whatsoever that Donald Trump
was involved, but he knew. See that's a big difference.
And now the left is trying to freak out and
they re released some emails that had already been disproven,

(17:08):
have already been shown that this is a lie, that
this is what it really truly is. And the Epstein
people have come out and said Donald Trump has never
been involved in this. Yes, he knew because he's in
that social circle of New York City. It's not like
all of a sudden, that's one of those things that
just doesn't get out in those circles, you know, because
how do you think they find out? It'd be like, hey,

(17:29):
don what do you think? Huh? I mean, it comes
out there. It's the circle that least people live in.
But whether or not he did involved in it is
a whole different question, and that has been answered, been
answered multiple times. No, So the left comes out, they
try to attack him on that, and within one day
it didn't even last a twenty four hour news cycle.

(17:50):
The whole thing got shot down. So now what do
you do? What do you do with Donald Trump? It's like,
we got to keep this going. Oh so, hang on
a second. The White House just posted a thing with
Donald Trump with him with some kids, call him a
pervert and say that he's dangerous and shouldn't be around
the kids. Sure enough, the social media warriors come out

(18:11):
and they started with this crap about how I wouldn't
leave my kids alone with Donald Trump because Donald Trump
was really bad. Show the bean footage, show us, show
us that beautiful bean footage of Donald Trump being all
creepy with kids. Better, Yet, why don't you show the
speech that Donald Trump did when he was talking about
when who he was swimming in the pool at mar

(18:32):
Lago and he had the kids that were swimming up
to his legs and rubbing his legs because of the hair,
and I think I got a boner. Let's play it.
Oh wait a second, I'm sorry, I'm not bad. That
wasn't Donald Trump. That was Joe Biden. So the level
of desperation that they're getting to now to try and

(18:53):
slam on Donald Trump is unreal. Donald Trump is starving everybody.
He's taking away the snap benefits. Oh my god, Donald Trump.
He doesn't care about your health care. Donald Trumps. He's
a mean guy. And he's bombing those boats with the
innocent people on him. Oh you know the boats that

(19:13):
have all the drug dealers on it and has some
terrorists on it. They were heading to America that were
coming here to kill our children. We gotta come up
with something else, Donald Trump. Everything that they come up
with gets countered with this little thing called the truth,
and the left they don't know how to handle it.
And then you look at things like the shutdown, the

(19:36):
shutdown which is now in its unfolding phases. Checks are
supposed to start going out today tomorrow. The officials are
saying that everybody in the government who has been without
pay should totally receive their back pay by Tuesday, so
everybody should be caught up, which would be great for

(19:56):
all of the people that have been struggling that are
now having to pay bank bills and pay bank loans
and payoff credit cards and everything else, and we can
get things going. But the showdown, the shutdown that we've had,
there's a new estimate of this out now that it
has says that it has cost our economy ninety billion dollars.

(20:18):
Ninety billion dollars. It has cost our economy, the economy
that Donald Trump is trying to fix after Joe Biden
had fed it up royally, so he's trying to do this.
The Democrats come out to this with the shutdown, and
it is their shutdown because numbers prove it. It's all
there is to it, and ninety billion dollars on that,
and they still try to blame Donald Trump. And here's

(20:40):
the worst part about this, and and the sad thing
about the worst part. It's bad, but there's they're bad
with the bad. The Democrats are now actually coming out
and saying that that they they that the shutdown worked,
the shutdown worked, and that they were happy with it

(21:01):
and it was worth it. You actually have Democrats that
are on camera that are coming out and saying that
the shutdown was worth it ninety billion dollars affecting our
economy in a negative way. You have hundreds of thousands,
of well millions of people that are in the government
that didn't get paid. You had forty two million people

(21:24):
on food assistants benefits that didn't get their benefits for
half of the month. You have all of the other
people that have been affected by this, and the Democrats
say it was worth it. How the hell was it
worth it? That you essentially tortured the American people and

(21:47):
it was worth it. Now, the sad part about that
part is come the election time, people aren't going to remember.
They're not going to remember that the Democrats came out
after this shut down that cost the economy ninety billion dollars,
that put people into debt, that made people struggle more
and more. They're not going to remember in a year

(22:09):
from now when they go to the polls, unless the
Republicans remind the people that that's the case. But then
there's also this now. One of the other things that
the Democrats are coming out and chanting with the shutdown
is that the shutdown and I don't think they paid

(22:31):
attention to the words that they were saying with this
and what they're exposing, But they said that the shutdown
now has exposed that the unaffordability in healthcare. You needed
the shutdown to expose that. You know, you could simply
go out and talk to the American people. Get off
of your high pedestal and actually go out and talk

(22:53):
to the American people. Don't read a report that some
staff member tells you. Don't go to some cocktail party
with all your wealthy donors. Get out and talk to
the people. The average person go into a neighborhood, go
to a neighborhood with a family of four, and go
up to them and say, hey, how's how's healthcare doing,
how's everything else doing doing, how's life? What am I doing?

(23:14):
That's fucking up your world? But they won't do it
because they're afraid of the answers that they're going to get,
and they're also afraid that they're going to be exposed
for not knowing. But they don't know, and it's ironic
because they've been bashing the Republicans for all this time
about how the Republicans want to do away with the

(23:34):
ACA and they want to replace it with something that works.
And what did we hear from the Democrats over and
over again that the Republicans are just simply trying to
take away your health care. They don't like it, they
want to make you die, and everything else that that
that they can get to be negative towards this, And
we've been saying, no, the ACA doesn't work, it's not affordable.

(23:54):
This is something that those crammed down our throats that
uhuh benefited only a select number of people people and
has cost millions and millions and millions of other people
to be affected by this in a negative way. Now
it's not Republicans bad. Donald Trump's horrible. And now they're
coming out and they're like, well, you know what, the
healthcare We've got a lot of problems with it and
it's unaffordable and we have to fix it now. And

(24:17):
that's what the shutdown has exposed. It exposed how bad
it is. It's only bad because of you, it's bad
because of the ACA. That's part of the reasons for
way it's bad. Of course. The other is because of
all these government regulations and how they've made it so horrible,
and of course when you also add in the number

(24:38):
of illegals that are coming into this country that are
using our medical system without paying for it, So who's
got to pay for it? We do. It's such simple,
tiny little things that the Democrats just have zero clue
about that, none whatsoever. They don't understand any of it,

(24:58):
of what's going on. And it's really sad to watch
this flip flop and the people that don't notice it,
they simply don't notice it. And of course the Democrats
are going to continually blame the Republicans for the same
things that the Republicans have been saying, and the Republicans
are going to stand there with their hands in their
pockets and going, well, you know what I mean, we

(25:18):
did say something about it, and I mean, you know,
instead of fighting, this is the time that the Republicans
should be standing up and going, yeah, no kidding, it's unaffordable.
We've been telling you then since you passed the ACA.
But they won't. They won't stand up for what needs

(25:39):
to be stood up. And this is another reason for
why despite the fact that the Democrat Party is in
total implosion mode, they could still and most likely will
win the House next year because the Republicans don't know
how to stand up and fight now. As for the
SNAP benefits SNAP benefits, now with the shutdown being completed

(26:03):
and we're now reopening the government and everybody's getting paid
the SNAP benefits, according to the officials with the Agriculture
Department brook Rollins, the SNAP will be fully refunded by Monday,
so those that are on the food assistance, it should
be by Monday when everything gets fully fully refunded and

(26:27):
your cards will be set so you can go get
your nails and your eyebrows done. But here's a big
problem that is also not being talked about enough, which
is just being exposed. Brook Rollins, who's the Department of
Agricultural Secretary where SNAP falls under, had said that they've
done some investigations into the SNAP program and they found

(26:47):
that there are over five thousand dead people that are
getting SNAP benefits. Now that sounds bad, right, Well, hang
on a second, it gets worse. In addition to the
five thousand people that that are dead that are still
receiving the the UH, the the SNAP benefits. According to

(27:09):
the data, there's also about five hundred thousand, that is
a half a million people who are getting benefits two
times under the same name, literally double dipping into the
SNAP benefits. And on top of that, we also have
all of the the illegals that are also getting into

(27:32):
the the SNAP benefits that that should not be there.
The the the fraud, the corruption, the waste that is
happening with Hang on a second, I'm just I'm trying
to bombarded with messages all of a sudden, and there's

(27:53):
no there's no investigation to no looking into it. So
a half a million people that are double dipping into it,
that's a million people's worth of benefits that half of
it shouldn't go. Where's the outrage there? See, this is
the problem with these people that basically make a living

(28:14):
off of living off of the government. They know how
to play the system, you know. And it's been explained
as well that it's not that these people are getting
all of these benefits from one source. They are and
literally it takes so much time and effort to do
this that if you just went out and got a job,
things would be a little bit better for you. But
people are getting benefits with a B, C and D

(28:36):
and making a good living while you and I are
all out here working hard. But there are twenty nine
states that Secretary Rollins had said that compiled and shared
SNAP data with the administration, because remember, there's a lot
of blue states that are refusing to share the data.

(28:58):
So with the data that has been shared in the
twenty nine states, and we found five thousand dead people
and five hundred thousand double dipping, how much is going
on in the blue states that refuse to report their data.
How many other fraud and waste and abuse is happening
with our food assistance programs with the other states that

(29:22):
are refusing to report their data to the government. In
addition to the information that she shared with the five
thousand and the five hundred thousand, she also said that
eighty percent of these snaps in those states were able
bodied Americans, meaning they can work. So think about this.

(29:43):
Think about all these numbers. Forty one point seven million
people that are on food assistants, five thousand of them
dead people. According to the twenty nine states that actually reported,
there's still a lot of other states that didn't report,
so we don't know what that data is half a
million that are double dipping, and then eighty percent of

(30:08):
those people in the twenty nine states are able bodied workers,
meaning that they should be working. They're people who, as
they classify it, they don't have small children at home,
they're not taking care of an elderly parent, and they
can work, but they choose not to work, and then

(30:29):
they are being a significant benefit from the taxpayers and
living off these benefits. Here's my thing. Starve, absolutely starve.
If that's going to be the way you're going to
be where you're going to use and abuse our system,
you should starve. And I don't care how cold and
cruel that sounds. I really don't. If you are able

(30:51):
bodied and able to get up and work, do it.
I am fifty two years old. I work essentially two
three jobs jobs. I have my full time aviation job,
I have this show that I do, and I have
another show that I also do. The course of my
day is about a seventeen hour day at least five

(31:13):
days a week, and then on the weekends I throw
in yet at least another eight hours a day on
both days. This past week I worked ninety five hours
at just my full time aviation job that doesn't include
the additional thirty hours for this show and the additional
four or five hours in a week for the other

(31:34):
show that I do. And I'm fifty two years old,
Explain to me why you can't get your ass up
and go get a job in work. I don't want
my taxpayer dollars going to somebody who is sitting around
in their fat ass, playing video games, lunching on junk food,
and not working for a living. Now again, if you

(31:57):
fit the qualifications where you had small children at home
and you had a lower income, you need assistance to
the food. Okay, you know what. We should be taking
care of our neighbors. If you are elderly living on
a reduced income, apps, so freaking lutely make sure we're
getting them fed. If you are somebody who is preoccupied

(32:17):
as a caregiver and people don't realize the level of
work that is involved in being a caregiver, whether it
be to a parent or to a spouse, then yes,
if we have to help those people out, absolutely, But
when you're sitting around doing nothing and you are an
able bodied person, I'm sorry starve and you're right seebe

(32:42):
a hunger is a powerful motivator, and it really will
be if you are somebody who can get up and work,
and you are working, and you're one of these eighty
percent that is abusing the SNAP programs, go hungry. I
bet you anything. After a little while, you're going to
get up and realize you're gonna have to get a job.

(33:03):
But then again, here's the other problem with these people.
Because of the fact that we don't crack down on
them enough, what they will end up doing is they
will end up finding another government program that will give
them money of some sort so they can go buy food. See,
they put so much effort into doing all of this
stuff that it would be amazing if you actually did

(33:26):
the effort into a real job, a real job, that
not only would you get money that you can control
the destiny on, but you could prove that you're a
much better person and you're worth more and be paid more.
We have a problem with society where we allow this,
and it's just simply got to stop. And again, this

(33:47):
is data that is only coming from twenty nine states.
There are many blue states that are refusing to publish
this information. So it really makes you makes you wonder
how many of the forty one point seven million people
should not be on tax benefits and how much money

(34:09):
that would save America, save you and I if these
people were not on these benefits. But we've developed a
culture in this country. And deeed boy good good comment
on that one that the government has made poverty comfortable.
And Ben Franklin said it, once you make it comfortable

(34:29):
for him, it's it's gonna be hard to get him
off of it. Make it uncomfortable. I mean, I know
that sounds sounds really bad and road rigged. Thank you,
good time, great minds all always think alike. Here as
I'm saying that, boom pops up on the comments again.
Another reason why I love this audience. Guys know it,
But make them uncomfortable, make them think twice about stuff,

(34:54):
you know. I I look at sometimes some of the
communities where tax payer dollars are going into poor communities,
and what I see being built in some poor communities
kind of gets me a little angry. And it's not
in a way that I'm being classist or anything, but look,

(35:19):
take care of the basic needs, absolutely, one hundred percent.
Take care of basic needs. All the basic needs should
be there. But when you're able to work, you should work.
When when I open up and see the help wanted
stuff and to see the number of jobs that are
out there, there's no reason for why there should be
a list of job openings. There really shouldn't. And the

(35:41):
other problem that we have too with this culture nowadays,
because nobody's getting out there and saying, hey, you got
to do what you got to do. People are now
expecting that they're going to have this nine to five
Monday through Friday job and I'm going to get paid
twenty five dollars an hour, and I want all my
benefits and I want all holiday is off, and I
don't want to work any overtime. That would be great.

(36:07):
I'm management in the company that I work for. I
worked ninety five hours last week as management. My boss
tells me all the time stop working so hard. He
gives me a hard time about it all the time.
But he's like, don't work so hard, and I'm like,
I have to because things have to be done. You know,
I'm not going to abandon my staff when they need it.

(36:30):
So I've had to be there. I mean, last week
was an unusual time. It's not a normal thing that
I do that many hours. But I had people that
were on vacation, and then I had people that got sick.
I had a responsibility. So my responsibility as the manager
is to be there to do this stuff. And again,
not the only job that I have. I had two others.

(36:53):
You gotta do what you gotta do to make the living.
I control my own destiny when it comes to my finances.
I'm not waiting on the government to be like, Okay,
well here's a check for you. And if it is
a situation where you can't get a full time job
that pays enough, go work a few hours somewhere else. Sure,

(37:14):
you may have to work a job that starts at
five in the morning and ends at noon or two
o'clock or one o'clock or something along that line. Well
you know what, you could probably still go get a job,
I don't know, making pizza and dominoes, or working a
cash register at Walmart, whatever it might be. If you
are in a point where you need the money to
be able to survive, work for it. Improve yourself. By

(37:37):
the way, that's the other thing that we don't do
enough of, and we see this a lot in fast food,
which drives me crazy. Because I have worked in fast food.
I worked in management in fast food. I worked for
a McDonald's chain. And one of the greatest things that
they have in McDonald's and a few of the others
are the same way is the advancement programs. And I
see people complain about this all the time. I've been

(37:59):
working a McDonald's being gamburgers for five years and I'm
not making any more money. Well, you know whose fault
that is. It's yours, that's nobody else's fault. Because companies
like McDonald's who promote from within, it's a culture that
they do. They promote from within, so there's no reason
for you to not grow in the ladder. But then again,

(38:21):
some of the people that they get for management, you know,
they've got to be able to understand how to train
and teach how to improve yourself. And that's one of
the things that I think a lot of businesses don't do,
is that they don't get out there and teach people
how to improve themselves. I do that with my employees.
I have employees that and I've always had this philosophy

(38:41):
that I don't want to be the best one there.
I don't want to be the hardest worker. I don't
want to be the one with the most knowledge. I
don't want to be the one that outperforms everybody. I
want my employees to be better than me, work harder
than me, be smarter than me, be more skilled than me.

(39:06):
That's what I want, because one, it improves my business
when my team is the top notch, when they can
perform better than anybody else and they can outwork me,
that makes me happy. That makes me proud, and that
makes me go to my boss and say that person

(39:26):
needs more money. That person is outstanding. And when we're
looking for somebody to promote, that person's going to be
it because that person is outstanding employee. And that's how
we should be teaching people. But we don't do that.
We don't motivate people. Instead, we are in a culture
of gimme, gimme, gimme, and expectations. We don't set expectations.

(39:49):
They give us the expectations. And that's one of the
problems that we have in a lot of the work
environment and why so many people are just not doing
as well as they should be. We also have to
be honest with people. You just you're working as a
barista at Starbucks, which, by the way, I love all
the baristas that the Starbucks that I go to. They're
all great. They're not the freaky, blue haired purple people.

(40:12):
They're actually pretty decent. But then again, here in Bay County,
it's not like you get a lot of that. And
I love them at all, but I don't want to
see them working there forever because that's not a job
that you're going to go buy a house doing. That's
not a job that you're going to raise a family
off of. That's not the job that you're going to
be working at when you get that really expensive car

(40:34):
that you've always wanted. It's also not the job that
you should be working at to be able to take
that dream vacation where you can take a month off
and tour Europe. You've got to improve yourself, and we
have got to get out to the level of actually
telling people you've got to improve themselves and letting people
double dip into snap and live off of the government.

(40:55):
It's not doing it. It's making them fat and lazy,
and we got to stop doing that. Right We got
to take a quick break. We'll be right back. It
is a red Friday right here on the Brian Rush Show.
When we remember everyone who is deployed, whether again it's
our ice agents or our military scattered around the world
and around the country. Thank you for what you do
for this nation. We remember you and we appreciate you.

(41:15):
We will be right back, all right, Welcome back to

(41:37):
the Brian Rush Show, Happy read Friday, remembering everyone who
is deployed, We do appreciate you. So you're ready for
this one. This is just gonna make your giggle a
little bit. And it goes back to the delusion of
the left. AOC is now out saying that maga folks
are coming to her in droves and tell telling her

(42:01):
that they want to be a democratic socialist. Let that one.
Let that one go ahead and sink in that droves
of mega people are coming to AOC and saying they
want to be a democratic socialist. Sure they are. I'm

(42:27):
sure that there are droves of mega people that just
all of a sudden went from freedom, no government control
over you to saying, you know what, I I was
wrong about all of that. I want to be a socialist.

(42:49):
I'm tired of controlling my own destiny. I'm tired of
having control of my own life. I just, you know what,
I want the government to do everything for me, especially
now after I watched the government shut down and the
government starve forty two million people. The fact that now

(43:13):
I'm watching the government argue over healthcare and how healthcare
is going to be taken away from all the people
that are relying on the government healthcare. Yeah, yeah, I
can totally see that. I can see all of these
maga people really truly jumping up and wanting to run
to AOC and say I've had it with this freedom crap.

(43:37):
I don't want it anymore. I want the government to
tell me what to do. Look, if you're gonna lie,
lie to a way that might be slightly believable, slightly

(43:58):
come out and say I've had I've had a lot
of people come out to me who have been Donald
Trump's supporters that have told me that they're they're leery
about Donald Trump now and that they don't really support
Donald Trump like they used to, and they're they're really
they're really considering not having support for him. A few

(44:19):
came out and said that it's believable because look, there
there are people that have come from the the left
that voted for Donald Trump. Because well, you look at
what they had before as an offering, and they said, hell, no,
where we're gonna go over there. And sure there are
gonna be some people that that that are falling out
of love with the Donald Trump administration and the things

(44:43):
that he does because they were leftists to begin with.
And sure, I get it, that's believable. But to think
that MAGA people are coming in droves to AOC to
tell her anything other than shut the hell up, it's
not believable. I mean even even even the idea of of, uh,

(45:06):
don't give her any ideas, I'm not you know, And
even if I gave her an idea and give it
to her a strip script, she'd still screw it up.
But the thing is is that that way is not
enough hatred towards Donald Trump. It's not so it wouldn't work.
They would look at that and go, oh my god,
this is way too nice. We need to make this meaner.

(45:27):
But the idea that anybody's going to AOC about anything, yeah,
not not happening. It's just simply not happening. What's that
You were in communist Poland before the wall was torn down,
and they think socialism is so good. Send them to
Venezuela or Cuba for a month. I agree with that,
and I've been saying that for a long time as

(45:48):
a matter of fact, as part of uh the the
socialist environment with this, I'm going to jump on this
for just a second. All right, don't get angry with me.
But since they love socialism so much, yes, I think
they should go to a place like Venezuela or Cuba
or any of these other socialist countries right now. And

(46:12):
I think that as just a treat I think the
government should even pay for it. I think that we
we should. We should offer the plane rides. We'll do
some nice planes. We won't just throw them at a
see one thirty, because you know we want to. We
want to pamper them up before we get there. So
put them on a nice plane, maybe like American Airlines,

(46:34):
because that would be the best to see the American
Airlines plane taxiing away as they're being left in a
in a socialist country, and let them stay there. Give them,
I don't know, a month, give them a month, and
also make it very clear that the State Department is
not going to come to your rescue. Do that. See

(46:59):
how this works? Out for you, and you know it's
it's amazing too because you have people like Bernie Sanders.
Bernie Sanders who was in love with with socialism. I mean,
that's what he wants and he gets out there and
he talks about breadlines. Bread lines are great.

Speaker 6 (47:17):
When I was in Russia, Oh, with my beautiful bride,
we would stand in line for the soup and the bread,
and it was free and it was something we'd have
to work about. I didn't have to wake up in
the morning and make any bread. We just stood in
line and they gave bread to us for free. That
right there alone should be.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
Like, hang on a second, breadlines. Ooh, that doesn't look good.
Do you think a brick is smarter than AOC or Jasmine? Oh? Yes,
I mean, first off, don't insult bricks by putting a
brick in the same sentence as AOC and Jasmine. The
two of them are not very bright. And Jasmine, by

(47:59):
the way, she's coming out hardcore now. It was really
nice for over a little bit. There's like a couple
of weeks where Jasmine was just quiet and she kind
of disappeared, and all of a sudden, now she's come
back into the limelight because now she's considering running against
Ted Cruz for the the state for the senator seat
in the state of Texas. Oh, that's gonna be funny.

(48:21):
That's gonna be absolutely hilarious to watch Jasmine Crockett debate
against Ted Cruz. We could get a lazy boy for
Ted Cruz, let him put his feet up a little bit,
and we'll let him snooze through half of the thing.
And would still wipe the floor with her, even though
I'm not the biggest Ted Cruz fan. Ted Cruz versus

(48:45):
Jasmine crocket that's a slaughterfest. I mean, after it's all
said and done, I would actually feel bad for Jasmine
Crockett for getting such an ass whipping in the debate.
I mean kind of like I actually felt bad for
Joe Biden after that debate with Donald Trump and I

(49:06):
And to be honest with you, I was actually angry.
I was as much as I was rooting for Donald
Trump with that. After I saw the debate with Joe
Biden and Donald Trump, the one where he froze and
stopped and and just everything was just an absolute disaster.
I got angry about the fact that people were abusing
Joe Biden. Now, I've never liked Joe Biden. I'm not

(49:29):
having sympathy for Joe Biden the man. I'm having sympathy
for the human being that, you know, the team and
the puppet masters behind Joe Biden were doing this to
another human being. That's what angered me. You know, it
never should have happened. I mean, Joe Biden never should
have been forced to run for president, and then as
his mental decline was going on, never should have been

(49:51):
allowed to continue with any of that. That all should
have stopped. But I would feel bad for Jasmine Crockett afterwards,
because she's going into this with all of this piss
and vinegar and and all this energy and this this
ego of how great she is and how wonderful it's
gonna be, and how she's going to destroy Ted Cruz

(50:11):
and it's going to be all both, and the next
thing you know, she's gonna be curled up at a
ball crying as she's destroyed by Ted Cruz. Look, I
could be a human. I feel a little bit bad
for it. But these people are out of control. I mean,
they really truly are out of control with your ego

(50:33):
and what they're doing, and you know, the whole leftist mentality.
I used to be able to think about it a
little bit, just a little bit, and and be like, Okay,
I can see where you're coming from. But now there's
just such insanity. Like the doctor Rita Deed, my new
favorite punching bag on social media, comes out with yet

(50:55):
another post and it's a it's a short buss, which
already loads the jokes, but it's a short bus with
a a a transgender flag hanging out of it.

Speaker 7 (51:10):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
And they had a couple of the transgender LGBTQ plus
whatever flags that they're waving there and a little sign
that says we love trans kids. And there The caption
on the photo from doctor Rita did is this bus
was so pretty today. So proud of my kiddos. Let
me just ask you this, how are you proud of

(51:34):
your kiddos, the transgender kiddos. Now, when it comes to
the sexuality of being gay or straight, Look, there's there's
plenty of debate room for this as to whether it's
a natural thing, if it's a choice thing, whatever. It
is an environmental thing, not like green environmental, but like

(51:55):
your actual environment. There's there's plenty of debate behind all
of this, but when it boils down to you know,
gay straight, it's who you love, okay, it's who you
want to be with, whether it's a man or a woman,
or woman and a woman, a man and a man
or whatever. You know that that's the love aspect. It's
the physical, emotional, you know, love aspect. But when you

(52:20):
go into trans that's not a love thing. It's not
love another man or I love another woman like that
type of stuff. This is mutilation of your body. This
is changing you from something that you are to something
that you are not. And again, when you're a grown

(52:45):
ass adult and your brain is fully developed, and at
that point when you're in your twenties, mid late twenties
and you're finally thinking to yourself, Okay, well you know what,
I may have been born as a man, but I
really feel like I'm a woman. Okay whatever. At that point,
whatever you should be fully developed, A problem with you,
but whatever. But when you're a kid and you're still

(53:07):
in all of that development development developmentals to get a
stage where you don't even know what you you you
want to be in the morning, when you wake up
happy or mad, hungry, not hungry, you know, and you
go through all those stuff and you do this physical
mutilation of children, and then you're proud of them. I

(53:30):
mean you're you're you're proud of somebody who is physically
chemically mutilating and altering themselves at a time when they
don't even know who themselves is, and you're proud of them. Now,
look if a if a thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year old

(53:53):
kid comes out and says I'm gay, okay, you know what,
it may be something that they grow out of. It
might be an experimental stage, it might be whatever. Okay,
I can say, all right, you give them a little
bit of a pride that they're they're comfortable with themselves,
but they're not mutilating their bodies. And that is such

(54:15):
a big difference between the whole trans thing and then
just the gay thing. How can you be that kind
of a monster to children. It's one of those things
that just escapes me. I don't understand how the left
can look at that and be okay with physically chemically

(54:36):
altering a body and mutilating it. It can never be
the same. Now again, you can come out as gay
when you're fifteen, sixteen, seventeen whatever, twenty thirty, forty fifty, whatever.
But with that you could always be like, Oh I
thought I was, but I'm not. So It's okay. Where

(54:56):
do women at? You know? And you change. There's nothing
physically to your body that's altering. It's just slight, slight,
little change with who you hang out with. Big difference,
but it just goes to show the derangement of the
left that they pride themselves on this and they're so
happy about this. It's disturbing. All right, gotta take a break.

(55:16):
Coming up after the break, we're gonna be chatting with
Mark Mixed from the National Right to Work. Some new
news coming up with him. We're gonna chat with him
here just a second, but first we got to take
a break. This is the Brian Rush Show. Good morning
and happy red Friday. All right, welcome back to the

(55:44):
Bride Rush Show. Thanks so much for waking up with
us today making us partner of your day. Want to
welcome back to the show my friend Mark Mixed from
the National Right to Work. Mark, Good morning and how
are you today, Brian?

Speaker 7 (55:57):
I am doing well.

Speaker 8 (55:58):
But in the pre interview that we just did to
three seconds, I.

Speaker 7 (56:01):
Think my moon shapes a little bit.

Speaker 8 (56:02):
But that's okay.

Speaker 7 (56:03):
Let's talk.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
Yeah, let's do it. We got we got a lot
of things to talk about, but I want to start
off with this one because I saw this and it
just made me giggle yesterday, and I'm sure that you
saw it as well. And that is Renny Weiinngarten from
the Teachers Union that has now joined forces with the
Starbucks union. Thing going on. Do you see that?

Speaker 8 (56:26):
Yeah, apparently there was a strike. I don't know how
big it was, but you know, the Starbucks issue keeps
going and going. Basically, you've got about I don't know,
I guess about six hundred Starbucks units that have voted
for unionization union representation with the Service Employees International Union.
I mean, they had the Starbucks workers united, but really
the big union behind it is paying all the resources,

(56:47):
is in the Service Employees International Union. And you know
the interesting part about it, Brian, is that right now
our Legal Defense Foundation, I think we have probably sixteen
or seventeen Starbucks units who are calling us saying we
want to get out of the union, and yet this
government won't let them vote. The Nationally Relations Board, who
runs labor policy for Protector employees won't let them vote

(57:08):
to get out. So we've got a lot of litigation
that's building up on this on the other side of it.
But yeah, Randy Wineingarten, I mean it is having Starbucks
workers on the teacher union team is I guess important.
I mean, it'll be interesting to see how this all
works out. I didn't hear how big the strike was.
I think they said it went on in a couple
of cities yesterday. But yeah, you know, look, they have

(57:30):
the right to try to join together to amplify their voice,
but the employer also has the right to reject contract
proposals that ask for twenty five, you know, twenty five
bucks an hour to make coffee. I don't begrudge them,
it's you know, I have kids that go to Starbucks.
I don't one of the great Joyce Briand is going
in order at Black Medium Coffee.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
I mean, yeah, they don't know how to do that
at Starbucks. And look, I fully admit I'm a total
food food coffee drinker and I drink my own caffee.
They not get off coffee. But every once in a
while I will pop over to a Starbucks and I
get a fou fuoee drink and I'm mad enough to
admit it, but yeah, I totally get it. But you know,
I think Rady Winingarten was just there because there were sandwiches.

(58:12):
To be perfectly honest with you.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Okay, all right, I'll leave it there.

Speaker 7 (58:16):
Right, I'll leave it.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
Yeah, yeah, I'll say it. That's okay. But there's a
lot of other things that are going on too, you know,
when it comes to the whole labor deal going on,
and Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana just recently introduced a
legislative package. What's going on with that? What's the news there?

Speaker 8 (58:35):
Yeah, Brian, this is a bit of good news, and
it's good news if you're if you're an employer, if
you're a worker, if you're a union member. It talks
about labor policy that was written ninety plus years ago
that really is still basically intact from the nineteen thirties.
And obviously there's been changes in the American workplace. But

(58:55):
one of the biggest things they're doing, Brian, and this
is a series of bills. I think there were an
eight pieces of legislation. Review to Senator Kim Scott from
South Carolina, Senator Kim Banks from Indiana, Senator Tommy Tabrigo
from Alabama, Senator Cassidy obviously from Louisiana all put in
pieces of legislation that were designed to basically kind of
build some transparency into the labor union movement and reform it.

(59:17):
But one of the first things they're doing is saying, hey,
instead of this card check process, Brian, which is the
idea that union officials would come to your porch, Brian
and say, you know, at ten o'clock at night, three
of them would come up and say, hey, Brian, you
know we were from the union. We want you to
sign this card that would allow us to represent you.
And after some dialogue with you and and other people
similarly situated, you know, you'd say, look, if I signed

(59:37):
the card, where you go away?

Speaker 1 (59:38):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (59:38):
Well, that card turned out to be a vote for
the union. And once the union had those under the
Biden administration, that's showing of cards no matter how they
were obtained, no matter what the conditions were of how
they got you to sign that card that would be
a vote for a union, and getting that card back
was virtually impossible. We had a lot of cases on
behalf of workers who would try to say, look, I
just signed it because I wanted them off my front porch.

(01:00:00):
I wanted them off out of my face. But so
secret ballot elections would come back to be the default
position for certifying union. That is, you, Brian, get to
put your ballot in a box with no one else
knowing how you voted. That's basically how we prefer to
do things in the United States. And actually it's a
Supreme Court preferred that as the method for unionization in
a Supreme Court case called Linden Lumber in nineteen seventy four.

(01:00:21):
We've gotten way away from that because unions aren't winning elections.
That's the problem that they have. So that was one
big piece of it. The other piece is something that's
really interesting to us. It's right to work, because we
deal with this every day with what we have over
two hundred and sixty active cases on behalf of employees
trying to exercise their rights under that nineteen thirty five law.
And so what they're doing is they're clarifying, you know,

(01:00:43):
what the conditions have to be for a worker to say, hey,
I want to have a vote to get out. The
unions oftentimes use regulatory non statutory provisions that have been
created over the years to block the election. In fact,
we just had election that we had a victory yesterday
for some employees in West Virginia that I only got
out of the union after having a vote a year
ago and immediately after casting the votes to the NRB

(01:01:06):
basically impounded the ballots. They never counted the ballots even
though a majority of the workers in that union had
decided they wanted to get out of the union because
of the union filing a so called unfair label practice charge. Well,
the union finally had their day in court about the
unfair label practice charge and there was a settlement on
that with the employer, but had nothing to do with
the election. They just had used it to block the
election so they could keep the workers in the union.

(01:01:28):
So there's some things going on there. There's some protection
on the ticket line. Sometimes we have violence on the
ticket line. A Senator Tuberville has introduced the build that
addresses that issue. There's the issue of forced union dues
being used for politics that a worker might disagree with.
We want a US Supreme Court case back in nineteen
eighty eight called Beck versus Communication Workers of America that
protected workers who were forced to pay dues to keep

(01:01:50):
their jobs from paying for ideological or political causes they
objected to. The union had to prove that the money
was being used for quote unquote negotiations, if you will.
That Streme Court decision is a piece of paper that exists,
but the actual implementation of is something we've been working
on for a long time to make sure workers understand
their rights. The package of bills will address that as well.

(01:02:10):
So there's a lot going on there and they're all
generally pretty good, Brian, for helping employees understand what their
rights are under the law.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Yeah, that's good. And you know what's sad is the
word that I keep hearing, and I hear it all
the time. You've even said it, transparency. Why is that
such a problem nowadays that that we have to ask
for transparency and with every fight that you see, we
have to have transparency. It's like, why isn't that a

(01:02:39):
default anyhow? It's it's kind of sad.

Speaker 7 (01:02:42):
Yeah, Brian.

Speaker 8 (01:02:43):
Well, you know, when you're doing things like forcing someone
to pay a private organization for the opportunity to work,
you know, opaqueness is something they appreciate. They don't want
anyone understand how this all works. And so, in the
other word, that probably is more important than transparency, Brian,
is accountability. We believe that the ability for workers to
understand their rights in the workplace and to withhold their

(01:03:04):
money from a private organization that's doing things i e.
Politically or ideologically disagree with, they ought to be able
to hold that person accountable. And the best way to
do that is to say, you know what, you're not
getting my money because of the behavior you have, whether
it be you know, embezzlement or racketeering or extortion, things
that have happened in the labor union movement as well
as other institutions. But when you do that, and then

(01:03:25):
when you spend literally billions of dollars on politics to
support candidates that these workers do not support, that's where
you get the rub. And so when we talk about transparency,
that also basically generates the ability to hold union officials accountable.
And that's important as well.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
Yeah, yeah, it absolutely is. And there's obviously a lot
of fights that are going on different bills. How are
people like the Teamsters union taking on Senator Cassidy's bill
that he has, Are they for against it.

Speaker 8 (01:03:56):
Yeah. Yeah, they've already come out and criticized the bill,
and that's not surprising. They they're kind of in a
unique position. Charle O'Brien, the president of the Team Staters union.
He's up for election in twenty twenty six, so right
now that all the team shore units around the country
are getting their delegates elected and they'll all go to
their big convention next year in twenty twenty six, and
he's up and there's a there's a slate running against

(01:04:18):
him that's talking about, you know, the things he's done
over the last couple of years, and the things he's
done that they object to is that he did not
endorse a presidential candidate. But that wasn't really his decision, Brian.
You know, they did internal polling at the Teamsters of
their members and I think the first poll said like
sixty percent of the team strips, we're going to vote
for Donald Trump. The next poll, because they wanted to
check and said this can't be right, they found sixty

(01:04:40):
two percent of Teamsters were voting for Donald Trump. So
they did the courageous thing and not endorse Donald Trump
for president. But O'Brien has kind of carved out this space,
and he's got a couple of friends like Josh Paully,
the Senator from Missouri, who's doing his bidding, who is out.

Speaker 7 (01:04:55):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:04:55):
He's got a bill also that you and I have
talked about that would literally have the federal government in
pos those contracts on private businesses if they couldn't get
a union contract within a ninety day period, the federal
government would come in and say, hey, you got to
have this contract done, and if you don't, it will
give you thirty days, and then we'll impose a contract
on a private business for up two years. He's supportive

(01:05:16):
of that bill because we know what will happen in
those contracts is in states without right to work lause,
the twenty four states that can still force you to
pay dues or fees to go to keep a job,
we'll immediately write causes that say hey, you've got to
pay the union to work here. And then secondarily they'll say, hey,
you got to let the employer take the dues money
out of your paycheck before you get it. Those are
the two things that unions want in every union contract,

(01:05:38):
and they get it in virtually every contract. So team served,
Boss Sean Brien is in a little different space. He's
kind of worked in both sides, and he's doing that
through Josh Holly and from Missouri, who's pushing a bit
that bill that would impose contracts on private business.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
Yeah, and you know, it's kind of a shocking to
me that Josh Hawley is going down that road. And
I think it's one of those things where I think
somebody's to start questioning how did Josh Holly go from
screaming all freedom and constitutional rights and everything else to
now all of a sudden being like, hey, let's impose
contracts on people. That kind of scratches my head a

(01:06:12):
little bit and puts up some alarms from me. For
Josh Holly, it seems like he's kind of changing his
methods and beliefs a little bit.

Speaker 8 (01:06:21):
Well, you know, they say that the water in the
Potomac River that surrounds the Capitol has some chemicals in
it of some kind, and I don't know if that
explains it, but anyway, they're cleaning it up. They are
cleaning up, I will say that. But yeah, it is
a surprise. Brian when he was the Attorney General of Missouri,
he was a proponent of right to work. About a
year and a half ago he came out and his statement,

(01:06:43):
his launching statement to oppose right to work was he
said he would never impose right to work on anyone,
which was convincing to me that he had no idea
what he was talking about. Because the imposition of forced
unionism comes from the federal government. Right to work is
the way to get out of that imposition. Right to
work is not imposed on anyone in Florida where you are.

(01:07:03):
If you want to be in a union, you can
be in a union, you can join it, and you
can organize a union, you know, union off Thore saying, well,
it's totally impossible to organize a union. Well, that's not true,
because some states that have right to work laws have
higher union density than states that don't have right to work, like,
for example, Alabama I believe has a higher union density
in the private sector, then Missouri has. Interesting enough, or

(01:07:24):
Josh Holly's from So the idea of right to work
gives protections to individual workers. It also gives transparency and
accountable I'll come back there.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
Interesting. But you know one thing that I still do
want to see and I'm hoping that maybe Donald Trump
can make this happen even though they've kind of made
up a little bit, kiss him made up, and that
is a Senator Mark Wayne Mullen and Seat O'Brien, when
Donald Trump does his MMA fight on the on the
White House lawn, that would be great to see the
two of them started off, because that was that was

(01:07:54):
hands down one of my favorite moments in a while
in the Senate when when Mark wayn Mullen and Sean
did the whole you know you want to do this
right now, come on, let's stand up. That was a
great moment and if you've never seen it, go YouTube it.
It is. It's tense for a minute, but apparently they've
made up too, so.

Speaker 8 (01:08:15):
Yeah, yeah, you know, it's very's interesting, Brian. The first
time it happened twice.

Speaker 7 (01:08:18):
The second time was kind.

Speaker 8 (01:08:19):
Of the most intense one. But the first time I
was actually testifying in that Senate hearing when it happened,
and Mark Waynemullens was sitting to my left up on
his little razor there riser there the dast or, whatever
you call it, and Sharann O'Brien was two seats over
to the right for me and I thought, Dan, I
got to find an escape route because it looked like
something was going to happen right there, and it all
calmed down. But you know what's interesting about that is

(01:08:41):
Mark Wayne Mullen, who did become sharn O'Brien's friend. And
that's great. They want to talk. You got to keep
a dialogue open, no question about that. But he went
on Shan O'Brien's podcast, which interestingly enough, is called Better
Bad Ideas. I'm not sure that I understand that. I'm
not may not be smart enough to understand the context
of better Bad Ideas. And they started talking about this,
and they started talking about the right to work, and

(01:09:03):
Mark Wayne Monks said, well, I oppose right to work,
and then just about three weeks ago he co sponsored
the National Right to Work at So it's really an
interesting time up here in Washington, d C.

Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
Brian, Yeah, well it's it's it's never a dull moment
up there, to say the least. What else is going
on in the in the world of right to work
and in the world that you're playing with.

Speaker 8 (01:09:24):
Here, Well, obviously, the National Labor Relations Board is really
an important part of kind of the labor law management
and this is This is the five member board that
was created. There's actually three members when they when the
subtle government took control labor policy. It's a five member
board and basically it's not functioning right now because there
we can't get NRB nominees onto the Senate floor for

(01:09:46):
a vote. You know, this goes bigger than the nationallyb
Relations Board. Obviously, the Democrats has been blocking a lot
of Trump appointees to government, and finally they got a
group done a couple of weeks ago. Now I think
it looks like they're going to try to do another
group here in December. But the board, the board has
five board members and one General Council, who's the top lawyer.
The general council has made it through the committee in

(01:10:07):
the Senate. One member that Trump is nominated made it
through the committee in the Senate, and there's currently another
member that is being held up by guess who, Josh Holly.
And apparently that logjam is breaking here as I understand it,
and so there may be a hearing on that next
NLRB member next week. But without the board having a quorum,

(01:10:27):
they can't do anything. And so right now, the bureaucracy
the regional directors that run the NLRB that are kind
of the front facing part of how you adjudicate a
labor problem, a labor law problem. They're running the show,
and believe me, they're not friendly to the individual workers' rights.
They're very friendly to force unionism and compulsory unionism and

(01:10:48):
the things that really militate against individual employee rights in
the country. So we've got to get that done. Holly's
actually he's playing it gently because I don't think he
wants to be perceived as blocking one of the Trump's
now mee, But that's exactly what's happening in the committee
process right now as far as we understand.

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
Interesting, Yeah, Josh Holly is definitely want to be keeping
an eye on lately because of uh uh, the way
he's kind of changed up a little bit. At one
point I was I was kind of impressed with the guy.
Now I'm questioning a lot of what he does. Mark.
How could people find out more about the National Right
to Work and in all the services that you guys have,
because you guys have really two organizations that you got

(01:11:25):
going on, right.

Speaker 8 (01:11:27):
Right, Brian, if you're interested in your what your rights
are in the American workplace, what your rights are visa
v unionization. You can go to the Foundation's website, which
is NRTW dot org and RTW dot org. If you
want to know what's going on legislatively, whether it be
in Florida, Tallahassee, whether it be in Washington, DC, you
can go to the Committee's website, which tracks legislation in
all fifty states and in Congress. That's NRTWC dot org

(01:11:50):
and RTWC dot org.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
All right, awesome, Mark, always love our conversations. They're always
informative what's going on on the right to work and
in the union world. Can't wait to have you back
on with the latest news because there's always something new,
uh that's popping up with this.

Speaker 8 (01:12:06):
That's right, Brian, listen, there's always something new. But let
me let me take let me give you fu once
you take a break this weekend, how about that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
I'm going to get some I'm going, I'm going, I'm
going out of town. I've got a hotel reserved for
Saturday night. I'm gonna go check out an air show
on Saturday. I'm gonna kick my feet up, have a
couple of cocktails, and maybe eat real good and do
a whole lot of nothing. It's gonna be glory, all right.
Thanks Mark Mixed, Thank you so much. We'll talk with
you again soon.

Speaker 5 (01:12:31):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:12:31):
Mark Mixed from the National Right to Work.

Speaker 5 (01:12:34):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:12:34):
They do a lot of really great work. And again
if you want to go check them out, do that
on their two websites. They they're there to fight for
the workers. They really truly are. All Right, we got
to take another quick break. We'll be right back. This
is the Brian Rush Show. Good morning, all right, welcome

(01:13:04):
back to the Brian Rush Show on this Red Friday
where we remember everyone who is deployed. You know, watching
the camera having a white shirt on and a white
jacket behind me like makes me look like I'm huge.
Sorry Friday, it's been a long weeks. That to the side,
so I'm a little so stupid. Anyhow, welcome back to

(01:13:25):
the show. Thanks so much for checking us out. Big
thanks to Mark Mixed for joining us from the National
Right to Work Committee. They do a lot of great
work and we always have a great conversation when he
comes on. Of course, today is also Red Friday, we
remember everyone who is deployed. Thank you for all of
your service to our nation, especially for those who spent
the past forty three days not being paid. So welcome back,

(01:13:48):
by the way to the paid world. The government now
back open. Paychecks expected to start going out today tomorrow
and everybody should be paid up by tuesday. Is the
place that they are they're heading there. What's that cbe
Unions are the place in the history had their place
in history, so that hose so has the right to work.

(01:14:09):
So there is too many businesses today, you can go
and find a better job. Let the economy drive what
it needs. You know, a good point. Good point. And
you know that's kind of one of the things that
we almost should actually teach some of the new employee.
You know, this is the thing as in older generations,
which I think most of us in this show are

(01:14:30):
the older generation, we need to start teaching the younger
generation that, you know, one of the things that I've
always said, and I've even said this to people that
have been my employees, is that you know, if you
become the best employee, if you become really good and
you show your worth to the company, if the company

(01:14:51):
doesn't want to be thankful for your worth, be thankful
for the level of work and service that you do.
You know there's competition. You know there's competition, and you
could always go to that competition and be like, hey,
here's all the skill set that I have, here's all
that I can do. How much am I worth to
you to build up your business? So, yeah, there's always

(01:15:14):
options that are out there. And you're right that at
one point the unions really truly did have their place
their time. But nowadays I question how useful a union
really truly is, especially when the fact that there is
so many options for people to go work. I mean,

(01:15:37):
I kind of look at the union thing as being
more of a nuisance than anything else, and I know
that some people will look at it as being a benefit.
But employers nowadays they also need to kind of be
reminded and informed to treat your employees well. I mean,
I'm lucky I work for a company that actually does

(01:15:58):
treat our employees very well. Uh, which is great. We've
got a great team, great ownership, which I love. But yeah,
there are times when you're going to find businesses that
I'm going to treat your employees like crap. And if
you're a good at performing employee and and you're you're

(01:16:19):
the reason for why there's customers that are coming back
to it, and why the quality of things are high.
Either they pay for you or you you bring your
your your stuff to somewhere else. D boy, I have
become a French press coffee addict now. As a matter
of fact, I actually unplugged my my uh cuig. Mom

(01:16:39):
came to visit a couple of weeks ago and she
she went to make coffee, said what the hell's probably
your coffee machine. I'm like nothing, Why it's like it's
not turning on. I'm like, oh, because you gotta plug
it in. She looked at me, like, your coffee maker's unplugged. Okay,
I think she was ready to take me to the doctors.
But anyhow, some other wonderful news that is going on.

(01:16:59):
Our friend to Eric Swalwell, Oh yes, good old fart boy.
Fart boy now is just inside out. Sorry, I just
ooh scroll moment telling you I've have ADHD in the
worst way this week. It's been so bad. Yesterday on MSNBC,
Eric Swalwell popped on and he predicted that the Democrats

(01:17:21):
are going to win the House majority in twenty twenty
six midterms, which for a rarity I'm actually kind of
agreeing there's a possibility of that that it could happen.
But he's also going on this rant, and this is
one of the things where Republicans should pay attention because
Eric Swalwell is talking about how when the republic, when

(01:17:42):
the Democrats win back the House, that they are going
to hold Trump officials accountable. Now, I'm all about being
fair and honest when it comes to the government. I
am all about if the Trump administration does something that
is bad that yes, they should be held accountable. But

(01:18:08):
can I just ask this one question, and I'll throw
this to the comments, the comments section. What is it
that Donald Trump has done that has been actually bad
in the past ten months that he should be accountable for.
I'm gonna drink some coffee while you know what. Somebody

(01:18:29):
said this the other day. I need to get the
theme through Jeopardy for moments like this. But I'm gonna
drink some coffee while you explained to me. Somebody, just,
even if it's a one word, give me a something
that the Trump administration really truly needs to be held
accountable for that is so bad that the Democrats need
to win nothing. I give you another minute. Oh, there's

(01:19:03):
got to be something. I mean, somebody should have been
able to existing there you go. Yeah, the fact that
they're there, Oh my god, Donald jumped torn down the
East Wing and and all the history of the first
ladies in the private movie theater and all the the stuff.
And they now, uh, not prosecuting more deep state Democrats.

(01:19:28):
Dean boy, I'll give you that one. But I don't
think that that's something that they will hold accountable for
getting the prices down. Gas prices down. Uh, you know,
he's gotten some of it down here and there, but
you know, one of the biggest problems that had been
going out of the gas prices has also been state level.
And you know what here, here's one thing too. And
and I was cautious about this when when the election

(01:19:51):
was going on, Donald Trump, I think he didn't over
promise to a degree of the bringing prices down. And
I knew that going into this that this was not
going to be a situation where Donald Trump was going
to instantly be able to be like okay and magic
wand and boom, prices are done. That it was going

(01:20:13):
to take some time because the Bidy administration effed up
things so bad that he hurt their feelings. That's another
you know what, you know, see me just not to
make a joke out of it, but it's a joke.
At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody
doesn't try to do that. My feelings were hurt. Now,
you guys are bringing up some things that are actually legit,

(01:20:37):
like not firing Pambondi. Yet that is something that I
think that we on this side would be like, hey,
we got to do that. Hey, yes, let's bring the
gas prices down a little bit more. I mean they've
gone down, just not as hot far as we'd like to.
Groceries have gone down, not as far as we'd like to.
I want to say other things like some utilities like electricity,

(01:20:57):
but the problem with that is that you have things
like on the state line level that's allowing that to
go up. And there's a lot of other problems that
haven't gotten the prices down. But here's the thing, it's
not the jump administration. It's the Republican Party that hasn't
done anything to address these problems. And of course, not

(01:21:18):
that I want to give the Democrats any advice on this,
but if you're going to go after this, you have
been only good morning, buddy. I miss those phone calls,
by the way, but I do see your your tiktoks
all the time, and it makes me feel good when
I hear that. The problem that we have is that
the Republicans haven't done anything to address the issues themselves,

(01:21:39):
like Congress could have and should have been addressing the
issues of the high price of gas, the high price
of groceries, the high price of healthcare. These are all
things that Congress could have been and should have been addressing.
And haven't you know, I brought this up yesterday. When
it comes to the election for the Republicans, what have

(01:22:00):
you done? And I think this is very dangerous for
the Republicans right now because they haven't got anything done. Now,
what a piece of advice that I would give to
the Republican Party at this point is, come January, you
guys should be full on knocking things out of the ballpark.
You should actually be getting out there and every week,

(01:22:21):
every other day, there should be an amazing bill that
has passed that's going to do things, a bill that's
going to reduce regulations on I don't know, trucking or
whatever to allow it to be cheaper to be able
to get food out and about to lower the food prices.
But then again, the other problem with that is the
fact that we have lost a lot of truck drivers,

(01:22:43):
which is kind of a good thing because they were
illegal and shouldn't have been here. But that's going to
cause some increase in some of the costs of delivery,
which this is one of these no win situations. But
the Republican Party, if they get into a mode for January, February,
March April, and during that time period, just knock things

(01:23:04):
out left and right that are addressing the high cost
of health care, that address all the other problems that
we have in this country. So that way the Republicans
can come out and say, look, we had a lot
of pushback, but you know what, in the past couple
of months, we've gotten all of these things done. Donald
Trump has signed them into law. We're good. But right

(01:23:24):
now the Republican Party has nothing. I mean, they've got
the big beautiful bill, the big beautiful bill that has
been teased, taunted, made fun of, and has been just
slammed on left and right. So it's not exactly a
big win for the Republican Party. They got to come
up with some other stuff. And you know, the other
one that everybody keeps talking about too is the Epstein list.

(01:23:46):
And I've said this before about the Epstein list, and
I'm still sticking with this that it kind of doesn't
matter to go after it because nobody's going to be prosecuted,
you know. And after I had said that initially, this
was the point when there were some people that were
some of the lawyers that were in the inside of
the Epstein case, that were on the Epstein side, that

(01:24:08):
came out and said, look, I've seen the list. I
know who's on the list, and there is nobody on
the list that is either one alive today is there's
a lot of dead people that are on the list
or they are not currently in elected office. And then
there's a lot of like business people. So the outcome

(01:24:28):
of the Epstein list is this nothing. You know, It's
it's been proven over and over again that Donald Trump's
not on it. And I think we all know that
if Donald Trump was on it in a negative way,
that the Democrats would have attacked Donald Trump with that
and not made up some sort of a fraud thing.
They would have gone after it, and they didn't, So

(01:24:52):
I don't think Donald Trump is there. And the fact
that the people with the inside knowledge are saying that
nobody that's currently intellected office is there. What is it
going to do? I mean, yes, I think we all
want accountability for these perverts that have done these things
with these women and these young children. Absolutely, but who
is it going to be. It's going to be a

(01:25:14):
bunch of people that nobody's ever heard of. It's gonna
be politicians that are no longer there, and it'll be
a giant waste. And she was I think you're right
done with Epstein. We kind of need to be. And
the whole idea of all right, just release all the files, Yeah,
release them, I mean, go ahead, do it. But the
thing is they're going to be redacted like crazy because
there's a lot of victims in there that need to

(01:25:35):
be protected, and there's going to be a lot of
you reading it through it and go, who oh he died,
who's that? I don't even know who this is? Oh
that one died too, Who's that. It's going to be
a major, major letdown, And to be honest with you,
I think we have bigger problems to fight right now.
Than the Epstein List. I mean, look, the category of

(01:25:57):
the Epstein List with the sex trafficking that's going on,
that's an important issue because it's going on today. Look,
we talked about yesterday with the all the one hundred
and one kids that were found in Memphis the other day,
we've seen all of the other sex trafficking stories that
keep coming out. Let's address those, Let's go after those.

(01:26:19):
That's something that we can make an actual serious impact
about today. The Epstein List. Remember, the Epstein List is
from stuff from fifteen to twenty years ago. It's not today,
it's not today's children. So we can focus on that
and actually make a big difference by going after that.
And I think that's one of the things that that
needs to happen. We need to go after that. You know,

(01:26:43):
the Left bringing up the Epstein a bit just takes
their eyes off of their mistakes, and honestly, the Epstein
thing is nothing more than a distraction. It's a distraction tool.
And their attempt the other day to say, oh, look
see Donald Chump is on it, and not realizing that
we've already seen that email, the email that's talking about
how he knew what Giselle was doing and told her

(01:27:05):
to stop. I mean, it's just a stupid fight and
really just kind of needs to move on. I think
in a lot of way, what's that Trump knows that
he's going to have to monetize the debt. He's just
trying to stroke the economy to ease the pain, and
that's why he wants to do the terrorists stimulus checks. Yeah,

(01:27:31):
you know, I get what he's trying to do with
the stimulus checks too. And to be honest with you,
as much as you know, I could use two grand
and I'm sure you could as well. I don't think
that solves any problems. I mean it kind of puts,
you know, a candy coated bacon cover over the problem
and not really addressing a lot of the issues. And

(01:27:54):
me personally, I would rather have that two thousand dollars
go to getting our debt paid off. We have thirty
eight plus trillion dollars in debt at this point, and
that's I think one of the things that we definitely
need to address. But Eric Swalwell says that you know,
we're going to have accountability for the Trump administration and
again for what you know, when he was discussing referred

(01:28:17):
being referred to the Justice Department for allegations of mortgage fraud, which,
by the way, if you didn't catch that news Eric Swalwell, yesterday,
the Justice Department had opened up a probe into Eric
Swalwell over alleged mortgage fraud. And isn't it kind of
funny how all the Democrats are doing mortgage fraud now?

(01:28:38):
It's like, no wonder why they went after Donald Trump
with it. They probably sat around the table and they said,
what can we what do you think what can we
hit him on? Well, what are you guys doing? Well,
I got a great sweet deal in a mortgage. I
mean I had to break some laws on it, so
maybe we could do that. Meanwhile, tons of Fund was like,
oh my god, that's a great idea. I did the

(01:28:58):
same thing too, twice, the thing that the Democrats did.
They're like, hey, we're creating the mortgage fraud. We're doing
this all over the place. Why don't we just accuse
Donald Jump of doing it? Boys? That backfired on them, huh.
And what would be fantastic, by the way, because right
now we have we have pencil neck shift, who is
being brought up an investigation for mortgage fraud. You have

(01:29:20):
Letitia James being brought up for all of that stuff,
and now you've got Eric Swalwell that's doing it. And
by the way, did you see what he's tell me
you're corrupt without telling me that you're corrupt. Okay, with
the Eric Swalwell fraud situation. With the mortgage fraud, it
is on a house that is one point six million

(01:29:41):
dollars in the Washington DC area. Why are you buying
a house for one point six million dollars for your
your job in Washington, d C. One point six million dollars.
You know, we talk about the government likes to make

(01:30:01):
poverty comfortable, but they also seem to like to make
power comfortable. What do you need a one point six
million dollar house for to live in an area where
you're supposed to be servicing the people. And by the way,
you also make one hundred and seventy four thousand dollars
a year, So how is it that you're able to

(01:30:22):
afford a one point six million dollar house in the
DC area? And then you've got your home in California
and all your expenses there. Things that make you kind
of go a little bit doesn't it. And we're seeing
more and more of the Democrats that are coming out
with this same thing about mortgage fraud, and of course

(01:30:42):
they're trying to defend it. They're trying to blame that
it's Donald Trump weaponizing the Justice Department after everybody, and
that's not what it is. By the way. With Swallwoll
being one of Trump's most outspoken critics that he has had,
he also faced some scrutiny last month over some bizarre

(01:31:04):
inconsistencies in his campaign Federal Election Commission filings that listed
several different reasons for payments to a Haitian American staffer,
which totals about three hundred and sixty thousand dollars. And
this is the other thing that the left is getting
busted on. They're getting busted left and right on these

(01:31:24):
campaign filings of paying people money that just looks questionable
and you kind of go, what's going on here? But
the SEC filing that Eric Swalwell, the Eric Swalwell for
Congress and his remedy pack, which this is the other
thing too, they think they're being sly with this and

(01:31:45):
they're really not. And just about every politician does this
where when you have your campaign, there are certain rules
that you have to have for campaign donations and with
those campaign donats, and look, every politician does this, and
it's just it's I'm just calling it out and saying
what it is. So it's almost one of these let's

(01:32:06):
just let's just stop playing the games and just move
on with it. But with a campaign, some of them
you can only do, like say it's five hundred dollars
or one thousand dollars per cycle, which means you can
only do so much money to a primary cycle and
then so much money from the up to the general cycle.
That's kind of how it works. And then if you

(01:32:29):
have a pack, a pack is a different thing with
different limitations. So you could say, donate five hundred dollars
to Congressman's Swallwell to the Swallowoall for Congress campaign fund,
and then you can donate ten thousand dollars to the
Remedy Packed, which is basically a political action committee that

(01:32:49):
is not part of the campaign that the candidate has
no idea of it and no control and no say
of it, which is honestly a load of horse crap.
Most of them do. Some some will be like, all right,
you know what, Hey, we'll do some fundraising for it
obviously because it benefits you. But they don't control it.
But there's a lot of them that are controlling it.

(01:33:11):
And this is another way that they're they're getting some
some some money laundering aspects out there, like the three
hundred and sixty thousand dollars to a staffer. It's like, really,
tell me, that's not a little uh little suss to
say the least. But Eric swallwell, he's one of the

(01:33:33):
latest ones now that is that is getting this. We've got,
you know, a pencil neck shift that's getting it. We
also have letician James that's getting it. How many other
politicians are going to come out with this same type
of stuff? What are we talking about? Massachusetts? Sharon my
friend in Massachusetts who, by the way, I went to

(01:33:54):
school with, Sharon god Sharon. Sharon and I we actually
we went to school. She is one of two of
my friends who's by the way commenting in the comment section.
She is like one of two of my friends. And
we went to school from kindergarten all the way to
senior year in high school the whole time in Massachusetts.

(01:34:15):
I don't, boy, do we even do we even want
to get into Massachusetts. You know, I don't know if
anybody saw this the other day, the deal where the
governor is putting one hundred million dollars into illegals for
for basically their housing and everything else. And I posted

(01:34:36):
that and we talked about it a little bit, and
I actually had some liberals that were chiming in on
this and was defending it. It's like, how the hell
do you defend that. You know, I'm from Massachusetts. I
know the state very well, and I know that there's
a lot of areas in Massachusetts that look there, there's
some low income areas that could really use help, you know.

(01:34:59):
They they could work to generate more businesses in Massachusetts
so there's more job opportunities, you can take care of
more of the people. And what do they do. They
don't take care of the people of Massachusetts. Instead, it's
all about giving thirty thousand dollars to illegals so they
can have housing plus four thousand dollars a month. I mean,

(01:35:21):
think about it, four thousand dollars a month. That's an
awfully big paycheck in the end of the year. And
there's a lot of people in the state of Massachusetts
that are not even making that and they're working full time.
But this is how the left operates. They don't really
care about the citizens of this country. Instead, everything with
them is all about, you know, taking care of the illegals. Yes,

(01:35:48):
Trump DJ opens mortgage front probe into Eric Swolwell. It
would be great, though, to see in a right away
time period that you see Eric's while will Latisia James
and Pencil Neck all go to jail for the mortgage

(01:36:08):
fraud that they did. Wouldn't it be fantastic? And of
course you know that once they start going into these
these these investigations, they always dig up more stuff, They
dig up more stuff, and then it becomes a lot worse.
So it'll be interesting to see what else they find
when they start digging into that. God, now you guys

(01:36:31):
are talking about food in the chat. I am hungry,
you know what. I'm trying to do a thing where
I'm only eating like once a day, and it usually
it's towards the end of the day. Guys, get me
a hungry during the show. Can't be doing that. That's
a that's not good. But anyhow, we got to take
another quick break. We'll be right back. This is the
Brian Rush Show. Good morning and happy Red Friday. Will
remember everyone who is deployed. All right, welcome back to

(01:37:12):
the Bride Rush Show on our Red Friday, where we
remember everyone who is deployed. Thank you so much for
your service to our country. To appreciate it. Man, you
guys are making me so hungry. I'm talking about stuff
in the chats when it comes to food, mostly because
I have nothing to eat in the kitchen right now,
like nothing. I've been working so much I have forgotten

(01:37:35):
to actually go and what I did get, I've already ate. Literally,
all I've got is some yogurt smoothie shaped thingies and
that's it. And I've already had one of those this morning,
so I can't really do another. Now I want soup, sausage.
What else are we talking about? Oh God, you guys
got to I gotta stop looking at the chat sometimes
during the show. Really, you guys make me hungry. So

(01:37:57):
some news I don't know if anybody saw this year
in the state of Florida that came out Wednesday, The
Homeland Security Secretary Christynam announced that more than one hundred
and fifty illegal alien sexual predators were arrested here in
Florida as part of a sweeping enforcement action known as
Operation dirt Bag. Can I say this, I don't know
who's naming all of these operations with the Homeland Security,

(01:38:19):
but they are fantastic, they really are. But Operation dirt
Bag was part of a bunch of arrests that were
part of a larger effort that resulted in more than
two hundred and thirty illegal aliens being taken into custody
across the state of Florida from a range of criminal offenses,
including drug trafficking, sexual assault, and even murder, according to

(01:38:40):
the Department of Homeland Security. Noam explained that during an
appearance at Fox and Friends that the operation was originally
tied to Operational Criminal Return, but then it referred to
it differently at that point, and the operation was This
operation was called Operational Criminal Return, she said, and I
call it Operational dirt Bag because these individuals were sex offenders,

(01:39:05):
but not just sex offenders. They targeted children. These one
hundred and fifty individuals will be gone off of our streets,
she said, and our kids will be safer. And according
to the Department of Home and Security, many of those
apprehended had prior convictions for child molestation and sexual assault.
The multi agency conducted with supportive Governor Or Ronda Santis,

(01:39:27):
focused on identifying and removing convicted sexual predators who were
in the United States illegally. And of course this goes
back to why is this even a good idea that
they're here? And you know that the Left supports this stuff.
Bunch of sick bastards is what they really truly are.
But the operation again nabbed a whole bunch of people

(01:39:49):
in here in the state of Florida. And you know
that if it's this bad, here in the state of Florida,
where we have law enforcement that tells you if you
missed the bad guy when you shot at them, that
we have gun lessons for you on Saturdays for free.
Just come down here, Just come on down. We'll give

(01:40:12):
you some shooting lessons. When you have sheriffs that say, hey,
when a bad guy f's around, that you shoot him dead. Hey,
why did you shoot him sixty eight times because we
ran out of bullets? I mean, when this is the
law enforcement that we have here in the state of Florida,
and we still have these individuals here imagine how bad

(01:40:34):
it is in some of these blue states where they
promote this and they believe in it. And seriously, how
sick do you have to be to get to a
point where you are okay with this type of behavior.
But thankfully, here in the state of Florida, we are.
We're very much so into protecting our people, into protecting

(01:40:58):
our children. You gotta love law enforcement here in Florida.
They are pretty awesome. And every now and then you
obviously get, you know, a bad one, because look there's
there's bad ones here and there. You know, from time
to time, what's that shoes? You love j R? Jr. Telamendez,
who is the police chief in Panama City Beach. I

(01:41:19):
love him too. As a matter of fact, we made
the joke and Mayor Mark Sheldon, when he was the
mayor of Panama City Beach, he used to give me
a hard time about some all the time because I
was like, yep, Jr. Is my new man crush and
and and it came out Jr. Being my man crush
because he was the police chief at the time and
he still is. When the the Walmart shooting happened or

(01:41:40):
the Walmart riot happened, and the shooting that happened outside
of it. And you know, I always liked Drew, the
former police chief who's now the city manager, but he
he had a different level of toughness than Jr.

Speaker 7 (01:41:53):
Jr.

Speaker 1 (01:41:54):
Is a marine, isn't he? I think he's a marine,
if I'm not mistaken. I know he's a veteran, but
I'm pretty sure he was a marine, which just kind
of adds a little bit to it. But when I
saw his press conference that he did, and you see
this with all of the lead of law enforcement here
in Florida, they did they don't give a shit. They
really don't. They're not gonna come out and candy coat anything.

(01:42:16):
And that's exactly what he did. He came out and
he delivered the message, and I was like, who is
this guy? And he's local, what's the deal? So then
it ended up being a situation where I made fun
of it with with with Mark Mark Sheldon, and one
day he brought him in for an interview and fell

(01:42:39):
more in love with the guy. He's He's such an
awesome guy.

Speaker 2 (01:42:42):
He is.

Speaker 1 (01:42:44):
A great law enforcement person. He's got a great idea
of how to protect the city. I don't agree with
him one hundred percent on some things. Yeah, from time
to time. But he's a perfect example of Florida law
enforcement and why bad guys do bad things in the
state of Florida still makes me scratch my head a
little bit. It's like, do you really think you're gonna

(01:43:05):
get away with any of the stuff that you've been doing?
Do you think that Florida is a state to do that? Again,
when you have law enforcement that says I encourage all
of my residents in my county to own a gun,
and when a bad guy tries to break into your house,
you shoot him graveyard dead. It's like you don't even

(01:43:28):
see that type of attitude in Texas, where Texas is like,
that's where you would expect it to be, but you
don't see it there. But here in the state of Florida. Again, criminals,
I don't know why you mess around. This is just
not the place for you to be to mess around.
You need to go away. What's that road rage? I
need a woman for cooking. Sure, we'll go with just cooking.

(01:43:53):
We'll start there. I need to get out more often,
is what I really need to do. That's what I
That's what I need to have going on anyhow, So, yeah,
there's more of the sexual predators being nabbed off the
streets here in the state of Florida as law enforcement
just really goes after it and and and really kind

(01:44:13):
of says enough is enough, and let's move on a
little bit. So I don't know if anybody saw the
news yesterday John Fetterman, the senator from Pennsylvania, had had
a little bit of an incident where it ended up
hospitalizing him for a little bit. And hopefully he will
recover fine and be good, because John Fetterman is quickly
turning into one of the warriors that even the left

(01:44:33):
needs and the right needs it too, the old right
or the old left, the old left needs it. The
right we enjoy it. Did I get that right? So
confused at this point. But John Fetterman, he was also
doing an interview with Katie Kirk, which why why is
she still doing interviews with stuff? I don't understand why
is anybody doing an interview with her? But Katie Kirk
attempted to kind of push Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman into

(01:44:57):
criticizing the slain turning point USA to Charlie Kirk when
she was doing her next question with Katie Kirk on Thursday,
John Fetterman declined to kind of go down that road.
And this is the other problem that we have with
the leftist media is that they purposely are trying to

(01:45:18):
set you up to answer questions similar to this. But
after the assassination in September tenth of Charlie Kirk and
how some celebrated Kirk's murder and basically attacked his rhetoric, which,
by the way, there's some other things that are coming
out too from the left that are just ridiculous. There's
a new accusation now that is coming out of the

(01:45:40):
left where they're trying to say that Erica Kirk was
behind a sex trade thing going on in a foreign country.
I mean, these people just will not rest. And of
course it's not like they had real evidence, and they said, look,

(01:46:00):
let me show you this document that's highly redacted and
tell you what's going on. And I mean, seriously, is
this the road we're going to go down? You know,
we heard all of the horrible accusations towards towards Charlie
Kirk and all the horrible things that he did, and
has anyone seen it? I mean, yes, Charlie Kirk was

(01:46:26):
definitely very religious, and I can see that some people
would look at his religious beliefs in his strength and
his religion as something that is not for me, and
which is fine, but not a reason to attack the guy.
But during the podcast, Katie Kirk has next question. She
was asking, She said, do you think that flags should

(01:46:48):
have been flown at half staff? Do you think his
body should have been flown on Air Force two? Do
you think he should have possibly been given the Presidential
Medal of Freedom? And she goes on to saying, I
think that some people felt that it was perhaps over
the top in terms of mourning someone like Charlie Kirk.
How do you feel about that? But I got some

(01:47:10):
answers to it. But first Fetterman said that I'd say
that that is his choice, in his prerogative, and that
he was really entirely it was really entirely up to
him Donald Trump to do that. Katy Kirk following up
by asking John Fetterman, in hindsight had problems with Kirk's rhetoric.
The senator responded that he had disagreements with Kirk, but

(01:47:33):
not especially familiar with his views, and Kirk pressed saying
that I'm sure you learned about them after his death, though,
at which point Fetterman comes back and says, no, I
didn't do a deep dive on it, and the Senator did.
Then discussed that viewing the horrific video of Kirk's killing
and condemned political violence as unacceptable, and he said that

(01:47:56):
in encouraging in a debate in views, I strongly disagree,
that's part of the American democracy, and for me, that
would never justify what's happened, and I've just choose not
to take the opportunity to argue his views after children
lost their father in the most violent public way. Fetterman

(01:48:16):
also denounced the extreme rhetoric, suggesting that it contributes to
events like Kirk's assassination and calling Americans to be less incendiary,
and he even said that I think some people might
say Charlie Kirk's rhetoric was extreme. Kurtic claimed this Katie
Kirk and said that, you know, I think that the

(01:48:39):
conversation that happened people condemned political violence, but they also
felt a great deal of discomfort with his language, suggesting
that these kinds of words lead to violence, and I
don't know I'm just kind of sharing my observations as
I saw the conversations unfold, and I'm trying to think
because I've watched a lot of Charlie Kirk's stuff, and

(01:49:00):
I don't see where Charlie Kirk's rhetoric in the way
that he did it and the words that he chose
was something that encouraged violence. Somebody comes up and has
a gayer or trans question or something for Charlie Kirk
and ask his thoughts about it, and he says, well, here,

(01:49:20):
with my religion to my beliefs, this is what I think,
and these are some of the facts that I have seen,
and here it is what say you. Charlie Kirk never
really attacked somebody for their difference of opinion. He gave
them the opportunity to express their thoughts in the opinion

(01:49:41):
and then responded with his thoughts. That's an open dialogue,
an open conversation. But the only people that you see
that were doing the violent rhetoric were nothing but the
ones on the left. They were the only ones that
were doing it, and that is it. Nobody else. And
to see people like Katie Kirk that was trying to

(01:50:03):
lure Fetterman into the conversation to try and slam on
Charlie Kirk. That's also kind of despicable. And when you
look at the rhetoric that has come out of the
left media specifically, let alone the left political people, this
is the reason for why we are seeing the political

(01:50:24):
violence that we are happening. It's not the right that
is out there doing something that is encouraging fellow right
people to encourage violence, because you're not seeing it. You're
not seeing this right violence that the left claims is there.
It's not. Instead, you look at all the mass shootings
that happen, the school shootings, you look at all the

(01:50:45):
violence that's happening in some of these major towns, it's
all leftists. It's leftists on leftists and peace. Like, you're right,
he encouraged conversation and that was one of the things
that Charlie Kirk did all the time. And you know what,
we need to have more conversation, and people I think
have lost that aspect. And you know, it's one of

(01:51:05):
the things that I miss about old school democrats. With
old school democrats, you could disagree, you could say, hey,
do you see what the president did? Yeah, I don't agree.
With that, Well I do. And this is why. Okay, great,
how's your mom? You want to go get a beer.
We've gotten away from that now. Instead, the leftist message
is that if somebody disagrees with you, that they're the

(01:51:29):
worst in the world and they need to go away. Sorry,
just reading some notes. I got distracted, that got in depth.
I was reading something. But this is what we, I think,
need to encourage more of. We need to see more
of the of the Charlie Kirk conversation. And you know,

(01:51:51):
in addition to the way Charlie Kirk did it. And
I'm gonna take this side, and some people may look
at it a little bit and may get mad at
me for saying it, but it is a reality. Not
everybody believes in religion, and not everybody is going to
have the conversation based upon religion. Not everybody's going to
have the conversation that is going to quote things from

(01:52:14):
the Bible. There's a lot of people who don't understand
the Bible. They've never read the Bible, they've never gone
to church, they've never been religious. And I think that
is the side of the argument when it comes to
the conversation that we are still missing. You know, it's
great that we do have the Charlie Kirks of the world,
and there's a lot of people that have stepped into
his place that will quote scripture, that will use religion.

(01:52:40):
But I think that what we're doing is we are
we're forgetting those that don't seek religion, that don't believe
in religion, and that I think does cause a little
bit of a problem when you don't have somebody that
has that is on that side of the aisle, that
doesn't have the religious belief to be able to talk

(01:53:02):
to them in the same way that Charlie did, just
without religion to be having the open conversation. And I
think we are missing that. And I think that, you know,
maybe not with Turning Point in USA, but maybe with
other organizations getting out there and having the conversation that
we need to have a conversation leader, an open conversation
leader that is able to sit down with those on

(01:53:25):
the left and have a logical thought, but taking religion
out of it. And I know that some people getting
mad at me and say that all religion is super important,
and it is, but not for everybody. So rather than
kind of just separating the two and not paying attention
to those who don't. I think that's something that's adding

(01:53:48):
to a little bit of the problem. And we've got
to figure out people who can actually get up there
and have these open conversations with these people, encourage them
to be open about the conversations without bringing religion into it,
because for some people when you do that, when you
bring religion in, it makes them uncomfortable, it makes them unrelatable,

(01:54:12):
and it doesn't get anywhere with the conversation. And you're right,
very few people can debate like Charlie did, and he
did a great job. And you know, I don't want
to say that no one can, because there are other
people out there that are great debaters that come up
really quickly with Charlie Kirk. But Charlie Kirk was simply

(01:54:33):
the highest visible one that was out there doing it.
And you know, he dedicated his life to it, gave
his life to it. But there are other people that
are out there that are great at the debate. But
the problem that we have is the left in the debate.

(01:54:54):
And when you have the left that's in the debate,
and with the way that they do things, they get
so hyper, they get so angry and there's this desire
in this need to get out there and really make
it so that we can have open conversation, discuss things,

(01:55:17):
discuss the facts, and get away from feelings. But the left,
they know that the only way that they can win
is by emotions and feelings. And that's why we see
the left do this on a regular basis. Everything attacks
and attaches to feelings. How do you feel about this,
what does it make you feel like? That's why you

(01:55:38):
see the message that we have from the left, like
a Keem Jeffrey's coming out right now saying that the
Republican spending bill failed to address the cost of living
is the cost of living crisis, and he said, our
extend or extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, and
that's why the House Democrats strongly oppose it. He says,

(01:56:01):
doesn't go into the details of it, because when you
go into the details of it, it also gets emotions,
but probably the wrong emotions. But you see, it's a
very carefully crafted message that the Democrats are coming about
that the Republican spending bill that was passed in the House,

(01:56:21):
passed in the Senate, signed into law doesn't address the
cost of living crisis. Well it may not, But where
did the cost of a living crisis come from? The
cost of a living crisis came from the Democrats and
the things that happened in the past four years. That's
what magnified it more than it was. And then or

(01:56:43):
extend the Affordable Care Acts Care Act tax credits. You
know that sounds like, oh my god, they're they're taking
away your affordable care, They're coming after your health insurance. Well,
here's the thing. As the Democrats come out and slam
on the multimillionaires and the bill millionaires and all this
other stuff over and over and over again, they're the

(01:57:04):
ones that were getting the tax credit. They were the
ones that were seeing these subsidies that were in the
bill that the Democrats wanted. It wasn't going to you
and I, it was going to the millionaires and billionaires.
They were the ones that were going to end up
getting all of these these tax credits. And it's a

(01:57:24):
it's it's messed up that they left lies as much
as they do, and it's not called out on it,
but it's all on how they use the words, and
they use it in the way of emotions. And of
course there are so many problems with the Affordable Care Act,
and there's so many problems with it from the very
get go. You know, there's things where they talk about fairness.

(01:57:45):
Being on the Affordable Care Act is not fair. I mean, yes,
it gives you an opportunity to have access to health
insurance to help reduce the costs of things. But they've
lied to the people about the the the way the
Act works, if you make more money than the other person,
you pay more for the health insurance. And how is

(01:58:08):
that fair. You can have the same sickness, go to
the same doctor, but I have to pay more than
you because I make more money than you. That isn't
very fair, is it? And then, oh, by the way,
at the beginning of the year with the ACA, this
is another thing. If you've never been on it, never

(01:58:29):
used it, this is how that works. When you sign
up for the ACA, they ask you how much money
do you think you're gonna make this year? And you say,
I'm probably gonna make twenty thousand dollars this year. Okay,
all right, so we're gonna put this down here. This
is how much money you're gonna pay for this particular
benefit package which is gonna you know, you got or choices.
You can pick the cheap one, you're gonna spend pay

(01:58:50):
the expensive one. The cheap one in the long run
ends up being more expensive if you're ever sick, because
it doesn't really cover squad. But then they put it
down that, Okay, this is how much you think is
going to be. This is how much money you're making
by the end of the year. You got to raise
halfway through the year. Not only did you get a raise,
but you also picked up a second job because you're
not able to afford the expensive rent that you're doing.

(01:59:13):
So then when the irs when you file your income
tax and you said you were only going to make
twenty thousand dollars a year this year, and because of
the fact that you had to take on extra jobs
and you made thirty thousand dollars a year, guess what
You now have to pay extra money for the insurance
that you bought this year because you made more money.
Now tell me how fair that is. Tell me how

(01:59:36):
fair that is that you had to take on extra
work to be able to afford things, and the government
taxes you more all over healthcare. Where are the Democrats
out there to talk about that? Where the Democrats to
talk about how that's not fair, and they're not. They
try to push this message that, oh my god, you
had to have ACA because the ACA, that's the way
to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:59:55):
Is.

Speaker 1 (01:59:56):
If you don't have the ACA, oh my god, you know,
it's bad and the Republicans are going to take away
your health insurance. It's all a bunch of lies. It's
all a bunch of control and stealing more money and
redistributing money. And of course the Affordable Care Act tax
credits the subsidies, which granted some of these hospitals definitely
need them because they're forced to take on all of

(02:00:18):
the illegals that are here that are draining our system.
But you know, you could address the other problem. What's
draining the system, the big hole over there in the bucket. Well,
let's seal the hole in the bucket. That hole in
the bucket is illegals that are here in this country
using our system, using our healthcare, and it's boiling down

(02:00:39):
to it. It's us that has to pay for it.
That's got to stop. All right, We got to take
another quick break. Quill, be right back. This is the
bride Rest Show. Good morning, all right, Welcome back to

(02:01:00):
the Brian Rush Show. Here on our Red Friday. We
remember everyone who is deployed. I just took a bandit
off of my finger that I've had on for probably
the past twenty four hours. I will spare you the
way that that looks. It's gross. Hey, coming up at
the bottom of the hour. Yes, the Doster Boys. We're
gonna chat with them, coming up at the bottom of
the hour, because you know, we can't have a Friday

(02:01:21):
without the Doster Boys. So we're gonna chat with them
from America in View. You can check them out at
America Inview dot com. That's their website. Podcast is available there.
It will be available later on today once once they
get their show ready to go. So we're gonna chat
with them. So here's something to think about. One, the
Trump administration is now targeting some of the multiple Antifa

(02:01:46):
groups that are around the world and now looking to
label them as foreign terrorist organizations. And on top of that,
we also have Antifa now here in the country being
labeled as a domestic terrorist group. And I can't wait
to actually start seeing some of the anti terrorism stuff

(02:02:09):
being hit with some of these people for doing essentially
terrorists terrorist activity here in our country. Teach some of
these little pig some of lessons, to say the least.
But here's another thing to talk about when it comes
to immigration that we have. Obviously, we've got an immigration
problem here in this country, and the Trump administration is
trying to address it. It's one of the things that

(02:02:31):
we both left and right voted Donald Trump for because
it got out of control. We see what's going on
and so many of our states, in some of our cities,
you know, we see the latest news going on in
Memphis where they're starting to go in there and sweep
and clean up. It's effective. And while we talk about
the illegal immigration being a problem here in the country,

(02:02:53):
and it is, we're spending billions of dollars on illegals
to house them, feed them, take care of them, go
after them, prosecute them, jail them, something that we shouldn't
have to do at all. But here's a problem that
I think some people probably have not put too much
thought into, and that is the legal migration. I know

(02:03:19):
you're thinking to yourself right now, Brian, what the hell
are you talking about legal migration? What's the what's the
problem when it comes to legal migration. Oh dude, that
is somebody just sent me a side by side comparison
with what is it mo from the Three Stooges along
with the representative Rosa Delora. She's the crazy purple haired one.

(02:03:41):
Holy god, looks like that's a That's a side I
didn't need in my brain because that was funny and
I'm distracted. But back to the legal migration. What could
possibly go wrong with the legal migration? Well, here's the problem,
and this is another reason for why we have to
be very careful and maybe the idea of restricting who

(02:04:05):
can actually run for office in this country might be
a good idea because with legal immigration that we are
seeing come into this country. Think about this, Zorn Mamadanni
is a legal migrant to this country, not an illegal.

(02:04:29):
Legal here legally. You look at a lot of the
pretty much all the people in dearborn Michigan who have
come to this country. They are here legally. You look
at the Somalian who was running for mayor in Minneapolis
here in this country legally. You look at elon Omar

(02:04:53):
in this country as a legal migrant. And what we
are seeing is these particular legal migrants that are now
going to do things like takeover government roles, Zoron Mamadanni
being one of them, somebody who is clearly going to
push things that are not the American way. We have

(02:05:14):
seen the things that elon Omar has done over and
over again, and it makes you beg the question, now,
what else can go wrong with this type of stuff. Now,
it's it's a tricky situation because how do you address this.
Do you say that up, you're from a Muslim country, No,
you can't come into here. That will cause problems. It

(02:05:37):
will cause a lot of internal problems, external problems. So
how do we address this problem? Because when you start
getting people like Zoron Mammadanni, elon Omar and all these
others that are here legally that are in office making
these decisions and is influencing and changing things in a

(02:05:58):
way that would not be great for America. That's what
we're seeing, and Zara and Mamadanni being one of them,
and again Deerborn, Michigan being a perfect example of it.
And then even the city in Texas that allegedly has
been stopped, but now there's rumored that it's not being
stopped and that it could carry on. This is a problem.

(02:06:18):
And there is an analysis that is being done about
this very topic too, with how the legal immigration can
have some pretty bad, pretty negative consequences. So what do
we do about it? And how do we do about it?

(02:06:39):
That's the other question. Do we do make laws that
state that if you are an immigrant to this nation
that you cannot run for office? Is that right? Do
we make it so that there's certain certain restrictions that
they can only run for certain offices? How do we

(02:07:01):
do it? But it is one of those things to
think about a little bit that you know, now that
we we we've addressed so much of the illegal immigration,
there is legal immigration and how much it can essentially
fundamentally change an area like and again dearborn Michigan being
a perfect example of that. And will New York City

(02:07:22):
be the latest one that is going to turn into
a dearborn Michigan because now that you have Zorun Mamadanni
in office. And again, remember it was only twenty eight
percent of the of the voter turnout that turned out
to vote in that election. Zorn Mamadanni only won that
with a million votes, which I mean, if you're from
a small city, you go Wow, that's a lot of votes.

(02:07:44):
There were seven plus million voting adults in New York
City and he only won it with one million. And
what's going to happen there? How many people of his
ideology his mentality is he going to put into his
administration to oversee departments? How many other people with his

(02:08:04):
similar mentality going to also move into New York City
and to fundamentally change one of the greatest cities in
the planet. By the way, I will not say that
the New York City is the greatest, because it's not.
But it is a pretty was a pretty great city,
and it's only going to get worse. But the legal

(02:08:26):
immigration is one of the areas that I don't think
anybody has really thought about with the problems, and I
think that it is a legitimate thing to look at
and say, is this right, especially when you have some
people who have dual citizenships in another country. If you're
somebody with a dual citizenship in this country and another,

(02:08:47):
should they really truly be allowed to be in our
government to make decisions for you? And I I say
no to that one. I think you need to be
dedicated to America. You need to be dedicated to the
American dream and if you are not, you need to
get out what's that America is a great nation. The

(02:09:13):
people running it are the shit show. Yeah, exactly. We
have so many problems with our politicians, and you know
this is this is one of these things. I got
asked again, and I said this the other day, I
got asked again to run for office. I'm not gonna
say which office I was asked to run for because

(02:09:34):
I'm not saying no to it, but I'm also not
saying yes to it. But one of the main reasons
why I'm not jumping out of yes to it real
quickly is because do I want to deal with that?
You know? I know that that if I was in
the position that that has been approached to me, I
could do some good. But do I want to deal

(02:09:57):
with the stuff that's there? And see, this is one
of the problems that we have have with our country
as our politicians as a whole. Is that really good
people that could do something for the country, that could
get us back on track, they don't want to get
involved in the madness that we have as politics right now.
And I think what it's going to really take is
it's going to take for we the people to kind

(02:10:21):
of put our government in check. It's time for us
to stand up to the government and say enough of
the stuff that you're doing, no more of this insanity.
Let's listen to what we're saying. Or going to replace you.
But again the problem goes, who do you replace them with?
Do you replace them with somebody who has never done

(02:10:44):
the job, going to have to get and trained, Somebody
that maybe is not the biggest fighter, somebody that you
know will have a fear of their family being you know,
gunned for, not literally gun for, but you know, gone
after you being made fun of everything that you've ever
done in your lifetime, you know, being harassed. I mean,

(02:11:06):
like I've talked about this before and if I ever
ran for a serious office, a bigger office, you know,
when when it comes to to running, you know, this
is a dirty little secret to that. You know, with
everything with us, we're all data mind. Everywhere everywhere we do,
it's all data mind. And because of that, information is

(02:11:30):
out there about you that you know you may think
as a secret, but it's not. You know, you may
think that you know secretly at night when when my
wife is in bed and you know, nobody knows. And
I'm sitting here on the computer watching certain things online
that nobody's gonna know. No, they know. You know, there's
there's a lot of things that's data mind, and it

(02:11:51):
is capable of finding it with the proper background checks
that you can, you can go after and look for
this stuff. So as a politician, and I'm not saying,
you know, I'm surfing bad things on the internet or
so well, let me rephrase that, because the problem that
I have, and we've talked about this before, is that
I have friends that he that we and I. He
and I we have a warped as sense of humor,

(02:12:14):
absolutely warped ass sense of humor. And I will tell
you right now that if you were to look at
the texting thread between the two of us and the
way we answer each other back with it, you would
be like, these two mofos are the most racist people,
most sexist people on the planet. But it's a running
joke with me and this person because it was back

(02:12:36):
at the time of all of this. Oh my god,
that is a racist. Hey it's dark outside. Oh my god,
that's racist. Oh my god, the lights are on. Oh
my god, that's white supremacy, you know. So we got
to a point where we thought it was so ridiculous
and so funny that that we just have a running
joke on it, and sometimes it's it's who can one
up the other one in the running joke. I'm not

(02:12:59):
racist at There's not a single racist bone in my body.
But I also have a sense of humor, and I
can find humor in certain things. So if somebody was
to see this text message thread and expose it on me,
they would be like, oh my god, see how bad
he is. But then again, the problem with that is
that I have a stecaljrnes that are titanium, and I

(02:13:21):
don't care. I will call you back out for being stupid.
So a lot of people don't have that attitude, are
not willing to fight back in a way that is
maybe not the most proper political way. I mean, if
I was to do this, if I was to run
for office, and somebody was to be like, look at

(02:13:41):
Brian's Internet search history. And again, remember I'm the idiot
in the friend group that does not have a problem.
When we bring up some conversation about something ridiculous, I'd
be like, hang on, let me show you let me
google this up. Okay, there you go. So if you
look at my Internet search history, first off, you're not
going to understand what the hell does think because of
the fact that I do that. Plus I search a

(02:14:03):
lot of things for the show, so it's all over
the place. So with me, if you were to challenge
me in a political setting and say, well, you know, Brian,
he was surfing this and he looked this up, and
I'll be like, yeah, I did. What's your fucking problem?
And that's how it's going to be delivered to you.

(02:14:24):
And now you're going to have to stand up and
say what their problem is. And I'll be like, do
you know why I looked it up? Do you know
why I was looking at that website? Do you know
why that conversation was happening? Do you know anything behind it?
Do you know the rest of the context of it. See,
I've got the balls to do it, but unfortunately most
politicians don't. And that's a problem because they don't defend themselves.

(02:14:44):
They don't fight and look, we all look up stupid
things online. And just because you look something up, it
shouldn't be a factor of using it as a weapon.
You know, that's just like I love the Republic Pickens
who when they get caught in a same sex relationship
of some sort, whether it's you know, a full on

(02:15:07):
thing or you know, on my way home, I stopped
in the bathroom and hey can you And then they
get busted for it, and the Democrats turn around and
they make it to be the biggest deal on the planet, like,
oh my god, you're so bad, You're so horrible. No,
that's not not how that really works. You got to
be able to say, look, it's okay for them, but
not me. They got to defend themselves, all right. We

(02:15:29):
got to take a quick break. When we get back,
the Doster boys are joining us. Hang on and we'll
be right back, all right. Welcome back to the Brian
Rush Show. Thank you so much for making us part
of your day today. And you know what, even though

(02:15:51):
we are in the slightly new format that is just
here on Rumble Whimk in the podcast, and of course
you cant chieve as well, we're not giving up on
our boys. They're still part of the show. And you know,
I got to tell you this, guys. You know, obviously
this week we've had the change since we have left
the radio network. We've been bombarded with questions about where

(02:16:12):
we are, what we're doing, what the show is, how
can I find out of the show? But you know
what else, I've been asked so many times, are the
Doster Boys still going to be on the show? And
the answer to that question is hell, yes they are.
So let's welcome back to the Doster Boys from American View.
Matt and Brett. How you guys doing.

Speaker 7 (02:16:32):
Absolutely good, doing good, awesome, and we're doing great Brian.

Speaker 2 (02:16:36):
And listen man in some respects. Congratulations on the new format.
At least temporarily you're untethered from More America. You can
say whatever you want.

Speaker 1 (02:16:45):
That I am and I have, you know, and I
haven't heard any complaints yet on it, but you know, yeah,
I'm free, free wheeling out here and going because sometimes
some things just need to be said. And you guys
have great, great show. If people haven't listened to America
in View, by the way, it's available on a podcast,
so you can listen to it anytime you want. Of course,
if you're also on in the radio station up there

(02:17:07):
in Tallahassee, I will promote that the other one. I'm
kind of but America Inview dot Com is your website,
so you guys can download the podcast and listen to
the show. That way, you never miss an America and
in View. And as you can always tell when we
have our conversations on this on the Friday, it's always
great conversations because you guys have got so much knowledge

(02:17:27):
about what's going on not only in the the the
DC realm, but also in this state area, which unfortunately
today there's not a whole lot to talk about with
the state because, like we were talking about off the
air here, you know, we're in that that pre session
kind of holiday end of the year mode where nobody
wants to do anything but the session is coming up.

(02:17:48):
But there is some stuff with the governor's race. Let's
talk about that.

Speaker 2 (02:17:53):
Yeah. Absolutely, man, it's gonna be interesting. You know, earlier
in the year, you had a show, I think, and
if my memory serves me correctly, where you were really
sort of talking about the challenges for Republicans if we
didn't take David Jillie seriously because it looked like the
Democrats have united behind one man, right, and the Republicans

(02:18:14):
that look like we're going to have a primary. Well
this week, Jerry Dimmings made it official. He is the
mayor of Orange County, which, for those of you who
don't know, Orange County basically is Disney World is Orlando
and anyway, so he is running. He's an African American
guy's got a career background in law enforcement, and he

(02:18:35):
is going to be an interesting challenger for David Joally.
So the Democrats will have a primary on the Republican side.
You know, Paul Renner has been in the race now
for about two and a half months. He's doing well,
he's picking up steam. That looks like Bayer Donalds. From
that standpoint, we'll have a serious challenger on that side
of the aisle. However, you know this week James Fishback,

(02:18:56):
who's an independent entrepreneur based Yes, he's talking about jumping
into the race, and Lieutenant Governor j Collins is now
talking about getting into the race, possibly both of them
next week. So we could have a very exciting week
next week in the gubernatorial side.

Speaker 1 (02:19:14):
Yeah, that that may that may end up leading to
be a very interesting, very fun time because when it
comes to the demings uh situation too. One thing that
people might not know who he is, but that's also
val Deming's husband. And if you don't follow Val Demings,
which I don't blame most people because she's a Democrat.

(02:19:35):
Uh she, let's say she she she's unfiltered with a
lot of her attacks on some things. So I think
that's gonna be very interesting to watch the Democrat side
as Val Demings, who really doesn't care. She's a lot
like me in that sense. And and how she's going
to attack David Jolly. I don't know how much you know,

(02:19:57):
mister Demings will, but I think missus Demings will. So
that's good, be real interesting to see how that turns
out and to see who ends up supporting who on
the Democrat side. Uh So that's gonna be I think
a knockdown, knuckle dragging fight. And then with the Republican
side and then with with Fish Boarn. This is going

(02:20:17):
to be interesting. It's gonna be fun.

Speaker 7 (02:20:21):
Yeah, it's gonna be very interesting. And the Demings, you know,
Val Demings has her background in law enforcement, having served
as a as a police chief, and it does. I mean,
these law and order issues have been pretty important over
the last couple of election cycles, and when we saw
where the left was nationally on law and order back

(02:20:42):
during COVID and you know, a lot of race riots
and a lot of turmoil in this country, and just
what's gone on in these blue cities around the country,
San Francisco and you know other places where really there's
been a big erosion on the law and order side.
So it's interesting to see if there will be a
version of that and if there will be just kind
of some unexpected policy arguments or just kind of different

(02:21:09):
perspective within that party. In the end, as Brett's already
alluded to, and as you have alluded to as well, Brian,
in the end, both sides have competitive primaries. Now they're
going to have to win their respective primaries, and whoever
comes out of the fray will not have as much
financial resources for the general election. My caveat on that is,

(02:21:30):
I think a lot of times their messages end up
being stronger when they go through a primary because they
really have to test what they think and they believe
and how they say it. And so there may be
a cost them the financial side, but it actually may
make both nominees stronger in a way when they get
to the general election.

Speaker 1 (02:21:49):
Yeah, yeah, I think you're right. I mean it will
toughen them up on the actual message, but then again
the other thing that may toughen them up, because I
have a feeling that there's going to be a lot
more mud slinging on both sides towards their own sides
leading into this. So when it comes to the general
and again with Fishburne and then whichever one wins, the

(02:22:10):
Democrat and the Republican, it's going to be a three
way race in the general. And fishburn he's he's loaded,
he's got money, so he can he'll be okay to
make it through that thing. But it'll be interesting to
see the mud slinging and what damage does to who
when it comes to that, because we've talked about this
before about how even the Republican Party, who up until

(02:22:32):
now really didn't they just had David Jolly, but the
Republican Party was gonna have to be very careful not
to sling too much money to each other because then
it could be used by the other party. And now
we might see some good mud slinging in the Democrat
side too.

Speaker 2 (02:22:49):
That's exactly right, and for that reason, to Matt's point,
you typically would want a primary. A good robust primary
makes for better general election cameates simply because all the
dirty laundry has already been aired out. The last thing
in the world you want, Brian, I'll tell you this
is a political consultant and as a strategist, the last

(02:23:10):
thing in the world that you want right before a
general election is surprising new information that people have never
heard before, usually to the negative that's going to impact
their vote. That can have a massive impact on the
state's non partisan voters who don't align with either party.
And that's, by the way, a growing number. It's almost

(02:23:30):
they've almost caught up with the Democrats now statewide, and
in some places they actually are. There's more registered non
partisan voters than there are Democrats. So these non partisan,
non party affiliated voters can sometimes be spooked by new information.
You do not want that surprise in the general Yeah, that.

Speaker 1 (02:23:49):
Can get real ugly really quickly. And you know, since
you guys are political consultants. When I was just talking
about this before we went to you guys, you know
I've been asked again to run for office, not saying
which office, not saying yes or don't want any of it.
But let me ask you this just just a side
note for myself write some notes down. If you have

(02:24:09):
like a really crazy Internet history search because you have
a bunch of idiot friends, is that is that dangerous?

Speaker 7 (02:24:19):
Start start deleting? Now what I would say.

Speaker 1 (02:24:22):
Start start hiring some of those services to just scrub
your Internet history.

Speaker 7 (02:24:27):
Yeah, can you can? You? Can you elaborate? No, I'm
not going to put you on the spot. But it's
a question that is so relevant in our current day,
you know, and technology man, what a what a what
an enabler? I mean, I think for as much frustration
as we have with big tech and social media and
all the stuff out there, I mean, look, you're a

(02:24:49):
testament right now. But the fact that your message is
out there because of the Internet, right, I mean, you
have like all these platforms and you can take your
message right to the people. You don't have to sit
around the way for corporate America. But but yeah, there's
always the uh, there's always the downside to this electronic
trail that follows everybody around. So yeah, I'll just say

(02:25:10):
good luck luck.

Speaker 1 (02:25:12):
Yeah, And I mean in some ways, it's it's almost unfair,
you know, because we're looking at the situation right now
with the the Epstein emails that came out the other
day that you know, is complete garbage.

Speaker 3 (02:25:23):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:25:23):
But they they're they're trying to take these emails and
twist them and turn them to say that, you know, oh,
Donald Trump was involved, when that's not what the emails
even said. So I mean, yeah, it can really be
twisted and turned. And again I'm I'm fully open, which
I'm I'm I would be a very much so a
different candidate because you know, when somebody would bring up, hey,

(02:25:44):
we saw that in your Internet search history, you looked
up these dolls for sex dolls? What are you? You
kind of have a freak, And my answer would look
at them and just say yes and no, that's not
the reason for why I was looking that up. I
was looking it up because we're having a conversation with
some of my friends and they didn't believe that they existed,
which I think is one of the problems. And the

(02:26:04):
reason why I brought that up is because so many
politicians now I don't think they have the kahones to
fight back on that type of stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:26:16):
Yeah, at the end of the day, Brian, what you
just outliged is exactly the way to deal with it.
If you don't have a candidate, because look, every person
has flaws, and every person has flaws, they can be
exploited by their opponent. But if you don't have a
candidate who's willing to go out and bear all shamelessly
and say, look, I'm a flawed human being, but this

(02:26:37):
is what I want to accomplish when I get in
office and be willing to redirect that conversation, they kind
of shouldn't be running for office. If you really don't
want yourself exposed to the entire world, just don't be
a candidate.

Speaker 1 (02:26:48):
Right, Yeah, that's probably some good advice for some people.
I mean that for me, I could be dangerous to
anybody who wanted to challenge me with that because of
my attitude where I will tell you, yeah, I look
that up and here's the reason why. And I don't
think we have enough strength one like that when it
comes to the Republican Party. And you know, one of
the other things that I've brought up before in the past,

(02:27:11):
when it comes to one of the political weapons that
the left loves to use, and I think this is
also one of the reasons for why they've lost a
lot of this community for their support, is that when
they would attack a Republican based on their perceived alleged
hidden sexuality. Maybe you know a little something that they

(02:27:32):
may have done in a hotel, you know, when they
were traveling. You know that type of thing where you know,
the Democrats had come out and be like, oh my god,
look at this's the worst thing in the world that
this Republican just had a same sex relationship with a
male prostitute. And then you're like, yeah, but you just
said that it was the greatest, most courageous thing that
this Democrat just came out. And you never hear a

(02:27:53):
Republican go FU, that's none of your business, and it
has nothing to do with the way I would vote.
It just happens to be who I slept with. It's like,
you don't ever see any Republicans throw that gauntlet down,
And in a lot of ways, I would like to
see a Republican do it. I would love to see
a Republican who gets outed by the left and they

(02:28:15):
make it out to be a big thing and had
that Republican go you know how I love to see
do it actually is Scott Bessett. Scott Bessett, I mean
he's open gay anyhow, I mean, you know, married to
a man with children. But he's the type of person
I think that we need as candidates that would that
would probably bitchslap a Democrat for bringing it up.

Speaker 7 (02:28:35):
Well, I mean, the person who's really rewritten the playbook
on this is of course Donald Trump, just in terms
of he's one of the first major leaders that come
along and just stop apologizing. Yeah, I mean, you can
name there's a long list of people who have been
caught up in these sort of fake scandals, some of
them some of them more serious than others, but a

(02:28:56):
lot of them just you know, using the wrong word
or something along the l lines that didn't meet the
approval of the of the left wing media. And we've
seen campaigns get tanked because of that kind of thing.
Donald Trump came along and he just said, I'm not
I'm not apologizing. I'm not going to ever back down.
I'm going to always you know, his his strategy and
his team strategy a lot of times has been just

(02:29:18):
to change the conversation, just throw something else out there.
And so it's really rewritten the rule book for a
lot of the people that work in our industry of
how to how to manage a crisis, how to deal
with a controversy like that. And I mean there's pros
and cons to everything, of course, but I think it's
really been instructive for the rest of the world. Not

(02:29:38):
everybody has as you're as you're alluding to it, Brian,
Not everybody has has sort of picked up on that
and been able to adopt it for their own campaigns.
But a lot of times that's the most effective thing
is is just you know, don't back down. You sort
of have to search your soul and and say, what
is it that I want to stand for and what
part of my personal record, you know, do I want
to be out there, like Brett was saying, But yeah,

(02:30:00):
it's just a matter of saying, search your soul, know
what you stand for, know what you believe in, and
if those are the things you're committed to, just.

Speaker 2 (02:30:06):
Stick to it. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:30:07):
Well I think it shows along Yeah, more fighters exactly.
It's almost like a you know, it's a disposition or
an attitude that you're looking for in people. Unfortunately, politics,
you know, it's all about kind of getting people to
like you and getting people to support you. You can't
get there unless you have fifty percent plus one voting

(02:30:29):
for you, and so it does lead to a lot
of people that you know, they're in it for the
wrong reasons sometimes and they they look for approval from everyone.
You're never going to nobody's ever been elected with one
hundred percent. You know, you're never going to appeal to everyone.
And so it's just really good, really good wisdom and
advice to say, figure out who you are, what you

(02:30:50):
stand for, and then stick to that and don't apologize
for it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:30:53):
Yeah, the apologizing and just being honest, you know, is
kind of where it needs to really be. And you know,
we we've seen some people like uh, you know, I
like to see more Mark Mane Mullins, you know, the
guy that would be like, all fine, you know what, Harry,
let me take my jack and you want to fight
right now, we'll do it right here in this room.
Uh you know. I that's that's kind of the type
of stuff that I really want to see. I want

(02:31:14):
to see people that are willing to to fight in
the way that they need to to do what's best
for the country. And I don't want to see people
pussy footing around and and trying to be like, oh
my god, no, that's you don't understand what it really is.
It's like, no, grow a set and just tell them
that and tell him shut the hell up. Uh, you know,
because I think that's one of the things that we
need in politics now, in American politics, because you know,

(02:31:37):
I think we've gone too prim and proper, you know,
and and too you know, formatic, and this isn't proper
to say. It's like, you know what, Sometimes it's okay,
as somebody just said, Trump made dropping the F bomb
grade again, and sometimes I think it has to happen.
I mean, I think we're at that point now where
politics just needs the good bitch slap to straighten some
things out. But while we're talking about Trump, though, it's

(02:31:58):
talk about his pardons because that's something that's been a
little controversial lately.

Speaker 2 (02:32:04):
And it has been a little controversial, Brian, and it's interesting
you should bring that up because that'll be one of
the things that we discussed on our show this weekend.

Speaker 7 (02:32:11):
But you know, it's so Trump.

Speaker 2 (02:32:14):
I think there was a guy that was pardoned this
week by the name of Joe Lewis, who's a billionaire.
He owns a sports theme a soccer team over in
England and is seeking to get medical treatment in the
United States for what she can pay for and also
see his grandchildren. And so he appealed to the president.
The President gave him a pardon. He had pled guilty

(02:32:36):
to insider trading. He paid a five million dollars fine
and was on three years probation. But then as part
of that, you have your civil rights removed. So Trump
basically restored his civil rights. Now a couple of things,
and a lot of the news stories on Fox and
other places have noted that Trump seems to.

Speaker 1 (02:32:53):
Have a.

Speaker 2 (02:32:56):
Sort of a soft spot in his heart for sports
character because he also pardoned Daryl Strawberry this week. Earlier
in the year, he pardoned Pete Rose, which I guess
clears the way for Pete Rose potentially getting to the
Baseball Hall of Fame. But you know, all these things
sort of been have been swirling around Trump. The one

(02:33:17):
thing I would say, the only political danger in all
this is that it can appear that if you're wealthy,
and if you are rubbing shoulders with the world elite,
that you can get access to Trump for a pardon,
and that if you're one of the little people out there,
not so much.

Speaker 8 (02:33:36):
So.

Speaker 2 (02:33:37):
I think they need to take great care maybe on
their next round of pardons, to reach down and find
some people among working class Americans with similar stories but
that they can pardon and just show that it's not
all about money and access to the White House.

Speaker 1 (02:33:51):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, look what he did in the
first term when he, you know, took care of the
whole imprisoning of so many of our young black people
in the country, and he went to town on that
and got no credit for it whatsoever. But you're right,
I think that's one of the things that he also
needs to hit on.

Speaker 7 (02:34:09):
Yeah. And there was also the January sixth folks, you know,
there was a some thought that there might be some
some variations and what sort of action he took as
president on that. He ended up just sort of life
in this late clean for all of them. But there
was some you know, some horrific abuses of of how
strenuous the charges were that the Left was pursuing on

(02:34:32):
in that situation. It is interesting you associate pardons usually
with the end of a president's term. You know, it's
usually like the last the last thing that a president
is he sort of yeah, exactly, but it's like it's
almost part of the almost part of the agenda here
for Trump. I mean there was a few people like
Juliani and some other people that were connected to those

(02:34:57):
those situations coming out of the first term that were
part of this round of pardons. But yeah, it's almost
like a new portfolio in the White House. And I
think Brett makes a good point. I mean, there's a
lot of injustice or or disproportionate use of the Justice
Department in this country that goes back to the Biden era,
and it would be a great moment to just take

(02:35:18):
some of the little guys, find some of the little guys,
some of the more egregious cases, and say, you know,
it's a new day. We're not we're not we're not
abusing the power of the Justice Department, and we're going
to show America that, you know, there's people out there
that deserve to be to be set free from some
sort of extreme application of justice.

Speaker 1 (02:35:39):
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely, I mean you know a perfect example
of that. And we've had we've had the American Maid
Foundation on the on the show a few times and
they've highlighted a couple of amazing stories, which is in
their their documentary, The The Take and state sanctioned kidnapping.
I don't know if you've seen that documentary, but it is.

(02:36:02):
It's amazing. It's like an hour long and it's on
their website. It's on YouTube as well. But it highlights,
you know, in an American family in Massachusetts that refused
to give their child a vitamin shot and the state
went after them, like took the child away, arrested them.
And so that's that's almost like a perfect ideology or

(02:36:25):
idea for a pardon, is for Trump to go into
that and and pardon all that and clean that up
because it's ruined their lives because the state went after them.
And it's a it's a sad, scary story, but it's
one that is repeated over and over again. So if
people get a chance to go see it, it's taken
the State Sanctioned Kidnapping the documentary or check it out.

(02:36:45):
But let's also talk about the the h One Visas
this is becoming a controversy. Donald Trump came out and said,
you know, he's looking to bring in some more of
the Chinese students to come in and and I think
that's kind of rocked a few people when they went,
wait a second, to do what from where?

Speaker 2 (02:37:02):
Yeah, that's right, Brian. I mean this is I think
really kind of created a little bit of a civil
war within the MAGA world over the last several days,
and I think it may not stop until we get
even beyond Christmas. People are pretty fired up about this.
The H one B visas. These are visas that allow
American companies to hire what is presumed to be sort

(02:37:25):
of the best and brightest in their fields from around
the world. The accusation right now is, hey, we're trying
to make this about making America great again. Let's focus
on American workers, not on cheap foreign labor supplies. And
then number two, when Trump said what he said about
the six hundred thousand Chinese students, I think everybody immediately
even threw up their hands and said, hey, mister President,

(02:37:47):
you know you and Senator Rubia, well not Senator Rubio,
but Secular State Rubio, and even Secretary of Defense or
Secretary of War Pete Hegta have made the point that
China really isn't a soft struggle for power with the
United States. Some Almus say hard because they've been spying
on us, they've been stealing American technology. Now you even

(02:38:07):
allow them to steal American university plots and presumably would
be sending over people who may be spine on our technology.
So I don't think it's a good idea. I think
that Laura Ingram really sort of brushed the President back
on this. It's going to be interesting to see if
he changes his tone. Knowing the President, I have a
feeling he's going to change his tone. I think this

(02:38:28):
is one of these things that maybe he thought was
maybe sound like a good idea financially, but I think
people just are having a hard time swallowing this as
a good policy for American schools.

Speaker 1 (02:38:40):
Yeah, it's not a good to it. And we all
know that Donald Trump is pretty good at going, oh hey,
I got an idea, and then it's like, Donald, think
about it before you speak. So, yeah, you're probably right.
He'll probably backtrack on that a little bit, especially with
the stories that are coming out about the Chinese spying
and all this other stuff. And I think Americans are
starting to warm up to the fact that that China

(02:39:00):
is definitely not our friend, so that might be a
dangerous thing.

Speaker 7 (02:39:06):
Yeah, And the other the other piece of this, which
you know probably doesn't get enough acknowledgment is I mean,
these international issues are complicated, right, It's not like there's
a there's a super obvious solution all things.

Speaker 2 (02:39:19):
Right.

Speaker 7 (02:39:19):
Trump has been leveraging a lot with with the tariffs
in terms of trying to get America re established and
have better better leverage over these foreign competitors. And so
you know he's gonna he's going to probably workshop some
of these issues and find out, hey, maybe this one
wasn't a good one. Uh you know, it might be

(02:39:40):
where he where he just what you guys just said.
You know, he may say, Okay, maybe there's a different
approach here. But they are complicated issues and in the end,
we've got to do everything we can to make America
just be more competitive and not have strategic disadvantages to
these other countries.

Speaker 1 (02:39:55):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, let's talk about America in View coming up.
You know, you get the show going today so to
