Speaker 1 (01:41):
All right, good morning and welcome to the Friday Show.
Do appreciate you checking us out here on the Knock
It Off Media Network, on Rumble, on Wipken, on the
podcast We've made it to Friday. It is a red Friday,
of course, where we remember everyone who is deployed, whether
it be our ice agents or our military scattered around
the country, scattered around the world. We appreciate your service

(02:02):
for what you are doing today for our country. And
Donald Trump did it again. Donald Trump did it again,
and he broke the internet. I gotta tell you, in
the past twelve hours or so roughly, watching the mental

(02:24):
breakdowns from the left has been very pleasurable. I will
say that I have watched it and every time that
I pomp through some of my social media and I
see another leftist going absolutely out of their mind crazy,
it makes me giggle just that much more. And what
am I talking about? Well, apparently, apparently, according to people

(02:51):
like Chuck Schumer, Chuck you coming out and saying, let's
be crystal clear, the president of the United States is
calling for the execution of elected as. This is an
outright threat. Every senator, every representative, every American, regardless of parties,
should condemn this immediately and without qualification. Now, sometimes I

(03:18):
just wonder if there's not just a bit of guilt
that came out of a few individuals, and this is
the reason for why we're feeling this way. But Trump
is demanding the arrests of Trader Democrat Congress people for
a dangerous video that they put out. Now, we don't

(03:40):
want to talk about this video. The video is not
what we want to talk about, because well, that's that's
facts to this case. So we're we're gonna, we're gonna
take that video and we're gonna we're gonna put it
over here for a minute and wait for just a second.
But the fact that Donald Trump had posted on his

(04:01):
truth social that seditious behavior comma punishable by death. Oh
my god, Donald Jump called for me to be assassinated.
He wants me executed? Really? Why? Why why are you

(04:22):
saying that? Because he said it seditious behavior punishable by death.
I'm confused. What are you What are you talking about?
Did did something? Did something happen? Did Did Donald Trump
get that upset with you that he he called for
your did he call you out? Did he hang on

(04:44):
a second? Let me let me pull that video back
out of that corner and play. Oh that's what we're
talking about. I get it. When earlier this week you
had six Democrats in Congress urged members of the military
and the intelligen community to refuse illegal orders from the
Trump administration without actually specifying which orders they were deemed illegal,

(05:11):
but saying essentially to the military, do not follow the
orders of the commander in chief. Oh so what you're
talking about? And you know what, here, let's help you
out just a little bit, because people like Chuck, you
and the Democrats have a really hard time with this.

(05:31):
And you know what's great is there's this tool called
AI now which makes it so much easier to be
able to figure out what things are. Do a little
bit of a research and you can type into AR
what is seditious behavior and let it roll. I mean,
we're again, you know how I love to do this live.

(05:52):
So we're doing this live just to find out how
long and how hard it is to figure out what
the definition is of this that you can do a
little research. Seditious behavior refers to the actions or speech
intended to incite rebellion against the authority of the states
or government, or to promote resistance to lawful authority. You

(06:15):
mean lawful authority like the President of the United States
giving lawful, lawful orders to the military that the Democrats
don't like. And when you say, hey, don't follow those
that would be rebellion. So seditious behavior when your actions

(06:35):
or your speech, like creating a video and speaking on
said video to intend or incite a rebellion against the
authority the president. Yeah, that that that sounds like sounds

(06:57):
like you fed up a little bit. I'm just gonna
throw that out there. Well, let's continue here, because in
the US federal law, seditious conspiracy and related offenses are
primarily defined in eighteen US Code twenty three eighty four
seditious conspiracy and historically in the Smith Act and Alien
Sedition Acts tradition, Let's see what else is say some

(07:19):
key statutory language that comes out of eighteen US Code
twenty three eighty four, If two or more persons, remember
we got six, in any state or territory, or in
any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States,
conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force
the government of the United States, or to levy war

(07:40):
against them, or to impose by force the authority therefore thereof,
or by force, to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution
of any law of the United States, or by force
to seize, take, or possess any property of the United
States contrary to the authority thereof they shall each be

(08:01):
fined under this title or imprisonment not more than twenty
years or both. Let's see some related offenses there with
the eighteen US Code twenty three eighty three rebellion or insurrection.
Let's see the eighteen US Code twenty three eighty five
advocating overthrowing of the government. The Smith Act provision, rarely

(08:24):
used since Yates in the United States in nineteen fifty seven,
limited to the advocacy of concrete action, not mere abstract doctrine.
This is amazing how fast we were able to learn
a little bit about this. I mean, you would think
that people like members of Congress, who have all kinds

(08:48):
of things that their access to be able to look
information up and gather information, that they could have done this. Now,
I didn't have this prepared. I literally while we were
typing or while we were talking, I typed in what
is seditious behavior? And it qualifies under laws suspicious conspiracy

(09:08):
not behavior. But either way, let's see what typically qualifies
for it. See organizing or participating in a conspiracy to
use force to overthrow the government or to block the
execution of federal laws by force. Let's say the Genuar six,
twenty twenty one case involving oath keepers and proud boy

(09:29):
leaders that result into multiple seditious conspiracy convictions. Okay, we
got that planning armed opposition to the federal authority, not
just protesting or civil disobedience, inciting intimate in illegal action
against the government with force. Let's see what is generally
not seditious behavior criticizing the government, even harshly, because remember

(09:54):
that's protected under our First Amendment. We can criticize all
we want. Advocating peaceful political change or even revolution in
the abstract, protesting civil disobedience or refusing to comply with
laws non violently and calling public officials' names, predicting collapse

(10:15):
of the government, or expressing hatred of the government. I mean,
we just looked this up. It's not that big of
a deal. And here you are going off and saying,
oh my god, Donald Jubb is calling for us all
to be executed. Well, maybe maybe you should just not

(10:42):
say some stupid shit sometimes just saying but again, Donald Trump,
triggering the left, breaking the left and getting them completely
riled up, which has been quite hilarious. What's that? Tim Burchett,

(11:05):
I love Tim Burchett by the way that dude is funny.
Call the lease out immediately, which order is illegal? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (11:13):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
And that's the other thing is they don't know what
orders are illegal. They just they think that anything that
Donald Trump has said and has done has just got
to be illegal. Well, I don't agree with it, it's
got to be illegal. And of course one of the
big things that they're arguing about is the fact that
Donald Trump has sent the military into the US cities

(11:35):
to protect the federal assets, the federal people while they're
in there doing their job of again cleaning up the
violent criminals that have been brought into this country illegally
by the Democrats and have created problems in the Democrats cities.
And again, keep this in mind, it's Donald Trump helping

(11:58):
out the blue cities, blue states to make their life safer.
And they're so upset by this.

Speaker 7 (12:07):
I can't believe that Donald Trump is rounding up the
murderers and the rapists and the sex traffickers and oh
the god, this is the worst thing ever. All the
people who came into the country illegally and now they're
they're causing problems and drug driving accidents and killing people
and raping my daughter and my grandmother and oh my god,

(12:29):
I can't believe Donald Trump is stopping those people from
coming in here.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
I know. It's horrible, isn't it. And again watching the
left melt down, now, is anything gonna really happen to
the six Democrats that came out and did that video. No,
we all know nothing's gonna happen. We're not gonna go

(12:55):
after them for you know, seditious behavior, seditious conspiracy. You're
not going to go and hang them in the town square.
They're probably not even gonna get charged. If nothing else.
It was Donald Trump just calling them out, going, hey,
you don't by the way, And honestly, the triggering of
them is probably what Donald Trump was starting to do

(13:18):
now to say that a point should be made. I
don't know if we're too far off on that either,
because look, the Democrats are going to push things and
push things and push things, and they are at this
point in time absolutely desperate to retain power. And the

(13:40):
scariest thing about them wanting to retain power and get
it back is that they don't know why they want
it back. I mean, if you're going to be an
elected official or a party for that matter, either way,
you should have an idea or a plan. You shouldn't
just simply go, I don't like the guy that's there now.

(14:02):
He hurts my feelings, and I want that job because
I should be the one telling the people what to do. Well,
what are you gonna do for the people. It doesn't
matter what I'm gonna do for the people. What matters
is that the that that evil man is not there
and that I'm there because I'm better than he is.
I mean, that's that's the attitude that the Democrats have,

(14:24):
and they literally have nothing. We have to make sure
that the illegals have healthcare? What about the American citizens?
What about the people who this is their country? Well,
but they're already here, and and uh, white privilege, Okay, fine,
forget about the white people. What about black people, Hispanic people,

(14:47):
Asian people, and uh, we'll also throw in the indigenous
people that are here in the country as well. Shouldn't
we shouldn't we put them first as well before the illegals,
because I'm kind of confused by what your Democrats relatively
want and honestly going out and doing that video calling

(15:13):
on the military to not follow the orders of the
commander in chief was pretty stupid and honestly, you could
probably make a case for seditious conspiracy, but would it
really go anywhere? Again, probably not. They probably would not
convict them. I mean, number one, you'd have to find

(15:35):
a an actual judge that would hear the case because
all the liberal judges won't do it. And the sad
part too, is that out of all of the ones
that are in there, there's only one Senator, Mark Kelly
that I bet you anybody's even heard of. So it
kind of begs the question for the other five that

(15:59):
are that are in this are these people who are
out for reelection next year, who are in districts that
they may or may not win. Is this another political
tool of political ploy to get out there and seem
like you're you're there for the people. I mean, if

(16:22):
the president of the United States is issuing illegal orders
and is using the military in a way that by
law he is not allowed to use against the American people,
there are avenues to go down where you can correct
correct that, where you can punish the president, where you

(16:43):
can stop the president from doing that. If that is
the case, then go down that road. Oh I get it.
You can't go down that road because he's not. So
in the typical fashion of the Democrats, what they do
is they come out and they just spew some stuff.

(17:05):
They just say it. See what happens. But again, this
is one of these Donald Trump things where where he's
kind of called them out and in this truth social
post he said that it's called seditious behavior at the
highest level. Each one of these traders to our country
should be arrested and put on trial. Their words cannot

(17:26):
be allowed to stand. We won't have a country anymore.
And you know what, in a lot of ways, we
do have to make sure that politicians like this stop
doing this stuff because what we're going to see and
we're we're already seeing it and it's less than twenty
four hours out of all of this mess is the

(17:49):
followers who will not take the moment to figure out
what's going on, to take a moment to say, geez,
what orders is it that Donald Trump is doing that
that are illegal, that Donald Trump is doing the stuff
with a military, what is it that he's doing. They
won't take that moment to find out. Instead, they will

(18:13):
take this video like they do with everything else that
the Democrat leadership says, and just run with it. Don't
fact check it, don't don't find out the details behind it,
none of that. Just just take it and run with
it and get emotional, get upset. Understand that Donald Trump
is coming after you. Donald Trump is using the military

(18:33):
against the people, and he's got to be stopped because
he's such a big, bad, evil, mean man. Meanwhile, I
can almost guarantee you that all six of those nidwiths
probably have no idea either. It is the party of emotions,
the Democrat Party. No logic, no idea, no plan, no nothing.

(18:58):
If it hurts me right here, my places, my spots,
oh my god, I got to do something about it.
You know. One of the problems that we do have
with a lot of politicians, and this goes on both sides,
by the way, is that even though you are a
representative of the people, and you are supposed to at
every level represent the people and their best interest, there

(19:23):
are times, and it happens more often than I think
people will ever even be willing to admit that we
the people are sometimes wrong. And when we are wrong,
we should not be corrected, but we should be educated
so we understand. And sometimes that's one of the things

(19:45):
that our politicians don't do. And I see this all
the time with people, because when I talk with the
with people, whether it be something on a local level
that you know the commission is doing, or the mayor's doing,
or you know the state is doing, or you know,
going right up to the federal level, they will think
one thing but don't know all the details behind it.

(20:07):
And the problem that you have is that your leaders,
the elected leaders that you have elected to represent your
best interests, don't have the balls to look at you
and say, oh, I get look, I look, I understand
your concern and you've got some valid points, but let
me explain what it is that we're doing. Let me
explain to you what this is. And I mean don't

(20:29):
talk down to people, but you look at them and say, oh,
I'm sorry, I look, I understand that you're upset about this.
Let me explain what is going on with this and
how this works and what this is going to do
and fill in the details. That is one of the
things that our politicians miss out on all the time
because it's easier for them to just ignore than it

(20:50):
is to go up to somebody who is flamingly upset
because they heard from a friend who heard it from
a friend who thought they saw it on the internet
or maybe on the news, that we're going to do X,
Y and Z, and then the story change. It's like
the phone call thing, you know, when you hand the
phone call and you give that one message and it
just goes around and round by the time it gets back.

(21:12):
It started off with Mary had a little lamb, and
the next thing, you know, Mary's pregnant by the lamb.
It's that situation where we need to get more government
that is willing to stamp up and educate the people.
And I know that some people might look at that
as being, oh my god, it's not the government's role,
and it shouldn't be. It really shouldn't be the government's

(21:34):
role to educate the people. But if the government cannot
look at the citizens and say, hey, I understand that
you're upset by the news of what you heard, but
let me just correct that's not what is actually going on.
What's actually going on is this Do you have any
other questions about it? I mean, what else can I tell?

Speaker 2 (21:55):
You?

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Have some balls to actually look at the upset people
and tell them because generally, not always but generally, when
people are upset about something that government is doing, they're
not fully informed about what government is doing. Now, there's
a lot of stupid stuff that government does, absolutely and
we should always be angry about that, but we should

(22:17):
also educate ourselves too, and and force our elected leaders
to educate us, because they should know all the details
about it. And if the elected leader that you you have,
and again it doesn't matter what level it is on,
if they're able, they're not able to look at you
and say, oh, well, I understand your concerns, but this

(22:38):
is what's going on. If they're just like, yeah, I
get it, that's that's horrible, that's mean. Oh god, yeah,
and then you're just like sympathize with your emotions, it's
because they don't know what the hell they're talking about.
And then we should probably think about replacing them because
they're not very smart people. But the whole sit behavior

(23:00):
thing with Donald Trump, it has triggered them in a
way that has just been so entertaining. I watched one
video where this woman is just I mean, she's screaming, hollering, cussing,
like turning pink in the face. It was pretty bad.
But again, the leftist with their mental derangement. Anybody speaking

(23:23):
of derangement and explosion like this. Has anybody seen this video?
This is a video that has gone around. It's gone
viral a little bit, and it was a college professor
who got so upset that her class was using AI
in the class one of the things that they were doing.
And I don't know if you've got a phone that

(23:43):
does this. My new phone does, and I haven't quite
figured out how the hell it works. Of course, there's
a lot of things I haven't figured out in the
stupid phone either, But apparently there is a thing even
here on my phone, which is you know, the Google pixel, which,
by the way, I do not recommend buying things are
piece of it really is. But there is a feature
now where if I'm in a meeting, I can sit

(24:06):
it down and I can have it take notes. So
do the note feature, put the phone down and during
this conversation, and also do it with phone calls too.
It will do all of the notes from whatever the
conversation has done. And then when it's all set and over,
you stop it and you look back and you've got
notes of the conversation. What a great tool for education,

(24:26):
because I mean, you would think that, Hey, I'm in
a class to learn, and I've got a professor who's
down here giving me the lecture on everything, and now
I'm getting the lecture all down in writing so that
I can learn the most I can from this speech.
What a great tool. I would be excited as a
teacher that now the speech is going to be all

(24:49):
in text for the student. The student can go back
and listen to everything that I said and won't be
missing notes because there were writing notes when I was
saying something else that was critical that they missed. This teacher,
I kid you not. I have not seen this level
of temper tantrum in so long. And then the last
time I saw this temper tantrum, it was like a

(25:14):
two year old kid who wasn't allowed to have candy
or something. This professor laying on the ground, kicking her
hands and feet in the air, screaming at the top
of her lungs. No AI, I don't want AI in
the classroom. I told you. And she's just pink in

(25:37):
the face like she's ready to pass out. Her voice
is starting to strain. She looks like she's having a
seizure on the ground. If you haven't seen this video,
look for it. This is disturbing. This is the type
of people that we have in the classroom.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Now.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
I understand that, you know, sometimes they don't want you know,
recording devices and all the other stuff and the classes
and blah blah blah blah blah. But this is an
actual tool, and AI is a tool, and AI should
be used as such a tool because look, the reality
is when it comes to an AI assistance, and I

(26:17):
use it all the time during the show, because the
reality is, I don't have time to sit here and
go to Google and then go I have a question
about X Y and Z, because first off, I've got
to scroll through twenty or thirty ads that might possibly
relate to X Y and Z. And then then I
got to figure out which one is real, which one
is not. Okay, that's just an ad. I don't need

(26:38):
that one. Okay, well this is just no, this doesn't
have the full story. And then I got to go
through this. I can just pomp into AI what is
X Y and Z and then boom, it will summarize
it from all of the Internet, skips all the ads,
skips all the other stuff and boom. There it is.
So it is a very useful tool. And I don't
understand why you would not want your students to use

(27:01):
the tools that are going to help educate them so
they'll be the smartest. But again, watching that teacher go
out of her mind, and again, look for that video
if you can find it, because it's just actually, you
know what, hang on, And I don't know, I know,
I don't have to go through any censorship on this
because well we're not on the actual radio. Let me

(27:23):
see if I can find it, and I'll just play
it so you can hear it. I think it's being
called the professor crash out. Yeah, here it is. Listen
to this thing. It's bad, you know what. Hang on.

(27:59):
Let me see if I can save this. Yeah I can.
I'll post this on Facebook so you can go check
it out on my Facebook if you follow me there.
But she has an absolute mental breakdown. And that's just
a small clip, but I'll share that in a little while.
The left is losing it. They're losing their minds. They
don't know how to handle it anymore. And it's so bad.

(28:22):
We also have the left because of anything that Donald
Trump does. If Donald Trump does it. If Donald Trump
is related in it, we have to stop it. We
have to throw a temper tantrum. Now, one of the
big things we've also been seeing them do a temper
tantrum with is the ballroom for the White House. Now,
look the idea of tearing down the East Wing and

(28:45):
you know, adding on to the White House. I mean sure,
there's there's a part of you that if you're a
historic person and you look at it and go, man,
that East Wing has been there for you know, a
little more than my lifetime, and it really hasn't been
there for the longest time. It's not in a ridge
part of the White House. It's an add on to
the White House. It is merely just little offices and

(29:06):
the movie theater. Not a big deal. Donald Trump says, Hey, look,
we have for years been entertaining our world leaders in
a tent in the backyard with porta potties brought in. Hey,
let's welcome the presidents and prime ministers and kings of

(29:28):
other countries to our country. Oh you gotta go to
the bathroom. Oh yeah, there's a porta potty right over there. Yeah,
it's right outside the tent. How embarrassing is that. I mean,
how come Democrats haven't at some point said, you know,
we should probably do something a little bit better than
porta potties and a vinyl tent out in the backyard

(29:50):
when we have people over. Donald Trump had proposed this
back in the time of Barack Obama and said, hey,
I'll puy it, I'll build it, I'll pay for it.
You just say go. And sure they could have added
the ballroom on to a point where it just extended
off of the east wing and not have to tear

(30:10):
down the East wing. But in a lot of ways,
the East wing was not exactly usable office space. I mean,
you have Melaniga and Trump because it's the offices of
the first Lady Malania and Trump, who has reduced her
staff down to just mere people, unlike people like Michelle Obama,
who had like I don't know what she had, like

(30:31):
three hundred, four hundred people or whatever. I mean, that's exaggeration,
but she had a ton of people in there, and
here's her staff was not necessary And the use of
the ballroom is obviously something that's going to be benefiting
every president going forward, regardless to whether they're Democrat, Republican, Independent,
or whatever other party happens to come around. And this

(30:54):
is a ballroom that will be around for probably a
few hundred years that we will be entertaining world leaders in.
And the Democrats are so upset by this that now
one of their latest things is there's a group of
Democrats that are putting together your bill to actually restrict
private donations for White House renovations now over the years,

(31:23):
and Donald Trump has no difference. He's one of many
that have done this, that have paid for certain renovations
out of their own pocket. There's also most of the
renovations that have been done to the White House have
been done off of the taxpayer dime, whether it be
the great gutting of the White House, which the Democrats
seem to forget about that, Like, here is the historic

(31:46):
White House, you know, the thing that since our number
two president has been living in and has all this
history in it, but we have a president that literally
gutted it. There's nothing inside the actual White House, the
residential part of the White House, that is original other

(32:07):
than the walls. So there's artwork and things like that
that are more original, but the structure itself is not original.
So you're throwing your temper tantrum over this has just
been kind of stupid. But that was paid for by
taxpayer dollars when we got it in. Building the East

(32:28):
Wing was tax payer dollars. Building the West Wing was
taxpayer dollars. Demolishing a portion of the West Wing and
redoing the West Wing was also tax dollars. This thing
is being done, and I love I saw this this
one quote saying that it was actually being done by
the payouts of lawsuits that Democrats. I guess they're actually

(32:52):
paying for this because all the lawsuits that Donald Trump
had won. But it's all private donation. And what the
Democrats are saying is, well, we don't want private donation
to do this. We want everything that's ever done with
the White House to be taxpayer. We don't all to
be taxpayer stuff instead of private donation. And of course

(33:14):
the donations that have come through for the for the
ballroom on the White House. And there's a lot of
people that are in this list. I don't know if
you've seen the list or not, it's been released, but Dems,
I just I got to point out a little something
to you. You do understand that there's a lot of

(33:34):
names on that list a lot of them that donate
to your campaigns, right, you do know that, right, And
these people who are looking at this project and saying, yeah,
we want to be part of it, we want to
help build it so that it makes America look better
on the world stage. These are people, by the way,

(33:58):
some of them still not exactly the biggest Donald Trump fans,
and yet they still donated. But it's again the whining
and crying and temper tangents from the Democrats where just
because Donald Trump did it, we got to stop it,
and now the calls for it to be demolished as

(34:18):
soon as Democrats actually take the White House again, which
they think they're going to do it in twenty twenty eight.
So you mean to tell me, as an American citizen
watching that we have billionaire corporations, billionaire individuals that donated

(34:40):
to this so that I didn't have to pay for it.
It's really nice and sure, the reality is is that
most Americans will never step foot on the White House grounds,
let alone inside the White House, let alone be invited
to a ball in the ballroom. Let's face it, that's
just a reality. I mean, most of us will never
step in inside the governor's mansions of our own states.

(35:06):
So it's not that big of a deal. But the
idea now that you're going to now use my taxpayer
dollars to demolish it, and what replace it with something?
What are you going to replace it with? Will you
look stupid? Where you demolish a beautiful ballroom that you're

(35:30):
able to entertain world leaders in and replace it with
what a smaller office building so that the first lady
can have an office? Again, you don't thinking this through
very well, are you? Probably not? Anyhow, it is a
Red Friday where we do remember everyone who is deployed.
We thank you for your service. Again, whether you're an
ice agent, border patrol agent, or if you're one of

(35:52):
our members of our military that is stationed around the
world and around the country keeping us safe. We appreciate
you on our Red Fridays where we remember every one deployed.
Coming up. By the way, this morning, seven am, I've
been promoting it a little bit. And by the way,
your comments on Facebook trying to guess the big announcement,
some of them have been absolutely hilarious. None of them

(36:15):
have been right though, I can tell you that. But
we do have a big announcement that's coming up this
morning at seven o'clock. Be around for that. Also, the
Doster Boys should be joining us too during the seven
o'clock hour as well. We got to take a quick break, though,
We'll be right back. This is the Brian Rush Show.
Good morning and happy Friday, all right, Welcome back to

(36:48):
our red Fridays where we remember everyone deployed. Holy crap,
I just saw this one. I don't know how I
missed this one in the show prap for today, but
I want forget it. I'm just gonna play the video
so you can listen to it. Maybe go.

Speaker 8 (37:08):
I'm Eric Swallwell and it's this simple. The next governor
of California has two jobs. One, keep the worst president
in our history out of our homes, out of our streets,
and out of our lives.

Speaker 6 (37:20):
Buying food at the grocery store is getting more expensive.

Speaker 8 (37:23):
No one will keep Californians safer than I will.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
No one.

Speaker 8 (37:27):
Nancy Pelosi selected me for the Intelligence Committee and to
help lead.

Speaker 9 (37:31):
The impeachment of a corrupt president. Californians will never bend
the knee. And two bring us a new California. California
is the fourth largest economy in the world.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
So shouldn't we be a stake where you can take
your first job, have your first kid, and buy your
first home in the same decade, and one where you
can fill that home with food and flood it with light.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
I'm Eric Swallow.

Speaker 9 (37:58):
We can build ourselves a new California that we can
share in together.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Ah, Eric Swalwell, fart boy, is running for governor of California.
All this is gonna get fun. This is gonna get interesting,
to say the least. I don't know how I missed
that one on the show prep. I found it just
kind of going through the Maybe it's because nobody cares.
But either way, Eric Swalwell now announcing yesterday that he

(38:29):
is going to run for governor of California. Now, look
the Democrat side, they definitely needed somebody better because the
current one not so good, not so good at all.
But yeah, that's a that's gonna be fun to watch.

(38:50):
I think that'll be interesting. And of course you've got
to make sure that we keep the most dangerous, worst
presidents ever out of our streets and out of our homes.
And again, you know this is this is the other
thing I have to ask these Democrats if this is
the case, because honestly, I haven't seen it. I have

(39:12):
not seen the the the federal agents just randomly going
down the streets of California or Illinois or New York
or Massachusetts, and they just go, Hey, let's stop at
this house. Let's stop at this house. Let's go kick
the door into this house, and let's harass the people.

(39:34):
Oh I think, you know what, I think there's some
Hispanic people over in that house. Let's go kick that
door into and let's go scare the hell out of
the people there. And I don't know, we'll throw them
around a little bit, we'll arrest the dad in front
of the kids, and we'll haul out. Let's just do that.
Has anybody seen this action, because apparently that's what Donald
Trump is doing. Donald Trump is is such a bad

(39:57):
president that he is. He's on the streets of our
homes and he's he's coming into our homes and taking
the people. Oh, oh yeah, that's right. My bad. I
forgot that it was actually the it was the rapist,
the murderers, the violent criminals. But you know that that

(40:20):
just doesn't sound as good. It just doesn't sound It
just doesn't come off the tongue right when you say, oh,
my god, Donald Trump has been coming into our communities
and taking the rapists and the murderers and the violent
people and the illegals that are doing all these duys
and killing our neighbors and our families and their friends

(40:41):
and taking them out of our city so that we
can live a safe life here in California. It just doesn't.
It doesn't. That doesn't have quite the same ring to it,
does it. I mean it it almost kind of sounds
what is that word good, like refresh and making you
feel safe that somebody is finally standing up for me

(41:05):
and my family and my neighbors and getting these violent
pieces of crap out of our community. This way, the
Hispanic community that is in our neighborhood, that is part
of our neighborhood. That is oh, by the way, citizens,
we can enjoy our time with them, and that we
can enjoy playing ball in the street and going to

(41:29):
a park and being able to go out to different places.
And my daughter can go out on a Friday night
with her friends and not have to worry about, you know,
the chances of her being raped or murdered by an
illegal who can't get any you know, oh, you know,
it sounds so much better to just say Donald Trump
is a bad guy and we got to keep him
out of our streets. I would love to know what

(41:52):
these same Democrats say when an illegal kills one of
their members of their family, are after an illegal rapes
somebody's daughter. I would love to know the message that
the Democrats are delivering to those parents. What do they
say when you're a parent whose daughter has just been

(42:17):
violently sexually assaulted and has been murdered and left into
a corner someplace or on a street, or in her
home or whatever, to just be there alone. I wonder
what does the Democrat come up to them and say.
Does the Democrat come up to that parent who's now

(42:37):
grieving the incredibly brutal, tragic loss of their daughter and say, hey,
don't you worry, because I'm here to protect you from
Donald Trump, who's trying to get that same type of
person that killed and raped your daughter off of the streets.
I'm here to protect you. Or do they go to

(42:59):
these parents who have again brutally violently lost their daughter
at the hands of an illegal, and do they go
to him and say, we've got to do something about it.
I'm so sorry for your loss. And how do you
do that? How do you actually go to a parent

(43:20):
whose child has been brutally murdered, brutally sexually assaulted by
somebody who is here illegally, that you have been protecting
their status and not protecting the daughter. How do you
go to somebody and say something to them. You can't

(43:44):
with good conscience go to these parents and say, we
fucked up. If we would have only enforced the laws,
if we would have only made sure that these illegal
we're not here in the country, the chances of your
daughter still being here today would be a lot higher.

(44:07):
How do you do that with good conscience? And I
think that's one of the things that really kind of
needs to be highlighted a little bit more about the
left and how they handle this, and the voters should
really pay attention to it. And Eric Swalwell is somebody

(44:29):
who is someone who protects the illegals, who is against
Donald Trump removing these sane people that are killing people's
daughters and family members. How does Eric Swalwell go to
those people. Oh, I'm glad you're going to try and
keep Donald Trump off my streets, But you know what,

(44:50):
the people that Donald Trump is trying to keep off
the streets are the ones that killed my daughter. Answer
that one fart boy. And of course the Republican Party
is not doing enough in places like California to get
the message out that a Republican would be a much

(45:11):
better choice for you as your governor than somebody like
get out of my shot. You're in my shot. Get
out of my shot. Or we're gonna fill the We're
gonna fill the governor's mentioned with gas after that good food.
I just I really I don't get it. I get

(45:31):
an absolute loss sometimes with how the left addresses reality
around them. I mean, I know that the the the
elected left is far from in touch with the reality.
But the people that are living in it, I mean,
that's the thing I don't understand, because again, it's not

(45:55):
like there was one simple thing that happened and where
you know, the girl in the in four or five
neighborhoods over was raped last night, and you know, oh
it's really bad news. Now, it's it's repetitive things that
happen over and over again. I Mean, in a lot
of these blue cities, it's hard for you to find

(46:16):
people at this point who have not been either a
direct victim of or an indirect because a friend, a coworker,
a relative, or whatever has been a subject of of
of carjackings, gun violence, sexual assaults, murder, or any of
these other things that are that are going on of
these illegals. So I just I don't get it. How

(46:40):
do you distance yourself from the reality around you and
then live in an alternate universe where it's something else
that is bad. It's not it's not me, it's not
it's not the the Democrats, it's it's something else. I mean,
the level of derangement in this country with our leftist

(47:01):
is really unbelievable. And for people to buy into the
Democrat message about how bad and evil Donald Trump is. Now,
I will admit that there are some things that come
out of the Trump administration sometimes some things that Donald
Trump says that I just kind of look at and go, look,

(47:23):
this is not healing. And I honestly think that even
though Donald Trump at this point doesn't really care what
the left says as far as the politicians go, he
needs to heal the country. And I honestly think that
right now, Donald Trump is the one person who can
start the healing process of this country. And when you

(47:46):
have things And as much as I love Carolyn Levitt,
I saw her yesterday doing her little press deal and
she said something yesterday that I just looked at it
and I went, girl, that is just childish and it
could have been handled in a much better way. And
I think that the And again I know that Donald

(48:09):
Trump doesn't care. He doesn't have to get re elected,
but we do have to re elect another Republican. We
need to get somebody, whether it whether it be jd
Vance or Marc or Rubio or whoever it might be,
for the next president. We need a Republican president and
we need to start healing this country because we can't
continue in the way that we are with the division

(48:31):
that we have between the parties and the political division
we have in this country. It's only getting worse. And
is it going to get to a point where we
will eventually hit a civil war and that's only going
to be even worse. But I saw Karen Lelevitt was
talking about how Zorn Mamadanni, who's coming to the Oval
office today, which is going to be an interest. I

(48:52):
would love to be a fly on the wall for
these conversations. But rather than saying that the mayor elect
of New York City, the Democrat socialist Zorn Mammadanni, is
coming to the the Oval Office to talk with Donald
Trump about the city and about the cooperation with the
government and how the two of them can work together.

(49:13):
Instead she comes out and she's like, we have an
actual communist. It's coming to the Oval Office. Yeah, we
got a communist that's coming here. Now we all know
that that Zorn Mammadanni is bad for New York City.
There's at this point in time, and I want to
be I want to be kind of open to the
idea that maybe there's something good to him. So I'm

(49:36):
leaving like that one little tick of of positivity on there.
But I think the reality is Zoraon Mammadanni is going
to be an absolute disaster for New York City, regardless
to whether or not he he does bring any of
his his Muslim aspect into it or not. Just his
his policies, the socialist, communist policies that he wants in

(49:56):
this utopian world that he thinks he's going to be
able to create is a fantasy and you just can't
do it. So he's going to be a disaster. But
I think having things like the Press secretary coming out
and taking that as an approach is also not helpful
for the country. And again I support Donald Trump about

(50:19):
ninety five percent support for Donald Trump. There's some things
that he does that just I kind of wish he
wouldn't do. Policy wise, I agree with him almost one
hundred percent, but I think it is time for Donald
Trump really to be the guy to start to get
out there and unite us a little bit better. Maybe
not the politicians. He needs to continue to call out

(50:42):
the Democrat politicians, but I think he needs to be
the one that starts to reach out to get the people,
the people of the left, the voters, to understand what's
really going on, and to do it in a little
bit more of a smoother way. And I think also
sending JD. Vance out to help in that I think

(51:03):
would be a very good thing and it should happen.
But I think that the Trump administration probably does need
to dial it back just a little bit. And considering
what you're looking at now for some of the new polls,
and this should be another indicator because remember we're going
into the midterms and the last thing that you want

(51:24):
is for the Democrats to win the House, and I'm
telling you, the likelihood of it happening is very, very high,
very high that they're going to take In the new
Fox poll that has just come out that is saying
that about sixty six percent of those that polled are
viewing conditions in the country negatively. Fifty eight percent of

(51:45):
the voters disapprove of the job that Trump is doing,
which by the way, is a four point increase since
last month. That's not a good poll. It's not a
good poll for Donald Trump at all.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Now.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
Granted, there are other polling out there that shows that
Donald Trump's approval rating is high. There's others that are
showing that it is very low. But again, this is
not the direction that the country needs to go. And
I honestly think that the Trump administration, while they are
doing amazing work and they need to continue the amazing
work that they're doing, there needs to be an attitude

(52:20):
shift and we need to start doing things where we
go after And granted, there are people on the left,
the extreme left, that there's nothing you could do. Donald
Trump could climb the Empire State Building and jump off
of it to his death, and the left would still
not be happy because they didn't get to see it.

(52:40):
But there are still plenty on the left that I
think that Donald Trump should probably reach out with an
olive branch to say, hey, let's do what's best for
the country. Let's stop with these stupid games that your
politicians are playing and understand that what I am doing
is for your safety. And I don't think Donald Trump's

(53:00):
really truly addressed that either that what he is doing,
because he's got his very Donald Rumpish way of saying it.
But I think that the administration, regardless to who it is,
getting all the messages out there to get out there
and start being like, hey, look, what we're doing is
to benefit your safety in your community. We're not going after,

(53:21):
you know, the families and the children. We're going after
the illegal people that are doing bad in our country.
And I've said this before, and I think this is
going to be something that eventually is going to have
to happen, and it's going to have to happen if
the Democrats take the House. And that is and as

(53:42):
much as I don't like it, but there's a kind
of a strong reality to this figuring out how do
we handle the situation of the other illegals that are
here in the country, that are here peacefully, that are
becoming part of society, that are being productive in society.
How do you deal with that, Because there's a few

(54:03):
things that go on with that one, and probably one
of the most important is that the people that are
here in the country, while illegal, that are being productive
in society. If you snatch that out right away, it
will have a dramatic impact on our economy. It'll have

(54:24):
a dramatic impact on manufacturing, on farming, on several other things.
So you have to approach it in a way that
is going to be gentle and not in the way
of just being gentle because of the fact that you
know they're here illegally and you got to be nice
to and want to know, I'm talking about the financial

(54:44):
and economic impacts on our country. If you just if
you do what Donald Trump is doing now to get
rid of the violent ones out, and you do that
to the people who again just came to this country
illegally to make a better life, are working hard every day,
even still illegally, but they are being productive and they're

(55:06):
doing things that are needed to be done. Ripping all
of that out quickly can have some devastating economic effects.
So the question is how do you deal with it?
Because you have a lot of people, mostly on the right,
who have the ideology and while I agree that if

(55:28):
you're here illegally you need to kind of go, but
you have people that say, nope, just rip them out
here and send them home. Do it now again, what
kind of impact is that going to have? So how
do we address it? How do we work it out?
And that is one of the things that I think
the Trump administration is going to and I'm not the

(55:51):
only one who feels this way there. I've been seeing
this from a lot of commentators who've actually actually talked
about this as well, including some economy people were looking
at it and saying, how do we how do we
do this so that the economy doesn't get all messed up?
Because the economy right now is actually doing pretty well.
So that's going to be a challenge I think for

(56:11):
the Trump administration. Of course, when we're also talking about
the economy right now. The jobs report that came out,
I don't know if anybody saw this better than expected,
and another huge win for the Trump administration. The new
Jobs report exceeded expectations and also reversing a lot of
the Biden era trends. The US added more than double

(56:33):
the expected number of new jobs in the last report,
and after a more than a month's delay due to
the government shutdown, the government did release the new Jobs
report from September, and the report defied expectations and proved
President Trump is actually getting the economy back on track.
Like that's something that Donald Trump was right. Damn, that's

(56:55):
got to hurt. It really does. Thursday, the Bureau of
Labor and Statistics released a long awaited jobs report and
the numbers blew many of the estimates right out of
the water. And according to the data that was obtained
by the BLS, the US added one hundred and nineteen
thousand jobs in September, making marking an increase compared to
the previous months, and the estimate, according to Fox News,

(57:18):
was only supposed to be about fifty thousand new jobs,
so it more than doubled that actual estimate. The Republican
National Committee Chairman Joe Gruders had posted on x that
the economy is booming under President Trump. His commitment is
bringing back jobs to the United States and putting America first,
turning this country around, and setting us on the right track.

(57:40):
Wages were also up, according to the report, They were
up by zero point two percent to thirty six point
six dollars in September according to the BLS, and according
to the data, hourly earnings have increased three point eight
percent over the last twelve months. So Donald Trump's economy,
he is getting on track, getting us back on track.

(58:02):
He is bringing the jobs back here to the country,
and he is getting a lot of this manufacturing done,
which again brings us back to the illegals that are here,
that are being productive members of our society, that are
actually working some of these jobs. While Americans should be

(58:22):
first and foremost to get these jobs. And I think
that's just a few ways for us to force Americans
to get into that. We got to be careful on
how we do this. I think one of the things
we need to do before stepping some of these illegals
out of the country or resetting them, or however you
want to do it, the first thing that we need
to do is light a fire under the ass of

(58:45):
a lot of the Americans who don't want to get
up and work. The people who are living off of
the system, living off of the medicare living off of
the food stamps and everything else. Those are the people
that we need to light the fire under and get
them moving. As a matter of fact, there's a new
food stamp report that has also come out, and this

(59:06):
is this is some interesting news because remember we we
what was the the amount, like six billion dollars is
in the reserve. Six billion dollars. Everybody said, oh my god,
Donald Trump needs to release those reserves so that the
SNAP programs can be funded and the people can be
eating the forty two million people. And the experts looked

(59:27):
at that and said, yeah, we can release all of
that right now, but it'd only lasts like maybe three weeks,
four weeks, and Blue States have now been busted for
blowing through nearly a half a billion dollars in SNAP
cash and on fast food. Now I get it that,
you know, fast food is well, kind of cheap, easy,

(59:49):
but it's looking like the supplemental food Nutrition's Assistance program,
which again designed to help the struggling Americans, not the
lazy ones. The struggling it's a big difference between the two.
By the way, to be able to put food on
their tables, and it's now having a long, overdue and
much deserved come to Jesus moment. And a lot of

(01:00:10):
scrutiny has been coming about with this program, and rightfully so,
because there's a lot of things that have been going
on with that or a massive waste. We saw the
report that came out showed about fifty six hundred dead
people that were receiving it, and of course, remember only
twenty nine states are reporting the data, so we have
a bunch of blue states that are not reporting the data.
So it's probably a lot worse than the numbers. We're

(01:00:32):
looking at fifty six hundred people that are dead that
are still receiving the benefits, but a half a million
that are double dipping. Half a million people that are
double dipping into the food assistance program. Got a problem
here with that, and there is a lot of waste
that's going on, and there's we've obviously seen some of

(01:00:55):
the people that have been dumb enough to come out
and talk about all the things that they're buying with
their SNAP cars, and things kind of went into an
overdrive during the Schumer shutdown because again some of the
outraged Snap recipients took to their social media to rage
about things like their benefits not being there to take

(01:01:18):
care of Uh, you know, their their their their their
their jewelry and their nails and all this other stuff.
There's a woman that I keep seeing and and this
story talks about how people are are are appearing from
inside of their nice cars and their nice homes, uh
to complain about this. There's this one woman and we've
talked about her before. She was the one that was

(01:01:40):
complaining about how she went to go get her nails
done and she had to pay for it out of
her own pocket because her EBT card wouldn't wouldn't pay
for it, and how am I supposed to get my
nails done? And this woman For the longest time, I
wasn't sure I was. I was starting to think initially
like wow, what is wrong with this woman? And then
I'm like, no, oh wait, this has got to be

(01:02:02):
This has got to be satire. There's no way that
this woman is really truly taking to social media and
admitting in public the stuff that she's admitting. But nope,
she's real. One of her latest videos that she has up,
she's talking about how she's got six kids from like
five or six different baby daddies, maybe seven different baby daddies,
and none of them are around. And how am I

(01:02:23):
supposed to pay my kids? Well, first off, don't get
to get your nails done. You know, I know that
you want to have the absolute gorgeous, beautiful nails with
all of the spiky things and the pretty designs and everything.
But you know, you can also one not do your nails.
And I don't think anybody's gonna really mind if your
nails aren't done. But the other thing that you can

(01:02:45):
do is you can go to like Dollar General, and
you can pick out a bottle of nail polish and
you can take your hand in that little bottle and
dip the little thing in there, and you take that
little paintbrush and you just do this across your nail
like this, and then you do the next Go, okay,
blow that dry. Okay, there we go, and then we

(01:03:05):
do the other one. And look, that's a pretty color
of nail polish that I have on. And you know what,
Look now I've gotten more money to be able to
feed one of my six kids. This woman gets on
and she starts to complain that she's got these six
kids and they want me to go work. How am
I going to go work? I have to take care

(01:03:27):
of these six kids. Here's a bigger idea, Why don't
you keep your legs closed? Children are a beautiful thing,
They're an amazing thing. But if you can't afford children,
maybe you should keep your legs closed. And if you're
getting to a point where you're reliant on the government

(01:03:49):
to feed said children, then you really should cut off
the whole idea of having yet another one. Now, the
ones that I feel bad in this situation are those
six kids. Because I grew up with a mother who
did everything that she could for my brother and I.
She struggled, you know, she worked hard, She sacrificed all

(01:04:14):
the time. My mom didn't go out and get massages
and get fancy nails done and get her hair done
by all this fancy stuff and wear this nice, fancy clothes.
She struggled why to make sure that my brother and
I were taken care of, To make sure that my
brother and I had food on the table, make sure
that my brother and I were able to have clothes

(01:04:35):
so that we can go to school. So it really
pisses me off. I mean it really does to think
back on. You know, how my mom struggled to take
care of us kids, and how so many other mothers
have done that same thing to take care of their kids.
And this worthless sack of crap has the balls to

(01:04:59):
sit there in her nice car, on her cell phone,
which is probably also paid by us, to complain that we,
the taxpayers, should be helping take care of her six kids.
I feel bad for those kids because clearly the kids
aren't her number one priority, because she's more concerned about

(01:05:22):
getting her damn nails done. As a parent, you should
be more concerned about making sure that your child has
nutritious meals on the table, that your child is not
going to bed hungry tonight, That your child has a
new pair of sneakers, even if it's not the fanciest brand,
but they have a new pair of sneakers so that

(01:05:43):
when they go to school tomorrow, they're not walking to
school with holes in their shoes. That's the type of
stuff that you could be concerned about, not out here
complaining and taking to social media because the taxpayers need
to take care of me, because I have six or
seven baby daddies and six kids, and none of those
baby daddies around, so I have to do it all myself. See,

(01:06:08):
this is the type of stuff that that that the
government also needs to put their foot down and say no.
I do remember at one point, of all places that
did this, Massachusetts at one time finally said you know what, hey,
here's the deal. We're gonna help you with the first
like two kids or three kids, or whatever the heck
it was that they said at the time. And this

(01:06:29):
was back I want to say, like maybe the nineties
early nineties, because the state of Massachusetts turned into a
major welfare state, such so bad that there actually were
signs at the airport in Puerto Rico that said go
to Massachusetts so that you can get the food assistance
and all of the welfare. So Massachusetts actually gotten to

(01:06:51):
a point where they said, look, we can't afford to
do this anymore. You know, you need to be responsible
and after the second or third kid, or whatever the
number was, you're responsible for those kids. We're not giving
you additional money for additional kids. And you know what
happened in Massachusetts and the coming years right after that,
people stopped having babies. The people that we're having five

(01:07:14):
six kids, and again by five or six different baby
daddies realize, oh crap, the state's not going to give
me money for the other babies, and they stopped having them.
So when I see these people start to complain about
it in social media, and again the ones that I
feel bad for are the children of this woman because

(01:07:34):
again clearly, it is more important that she get her
nails done than she makes sure that her children are
taken care of. And you know what, do what you
gotta do. My mom did. I mean, granted, we live
in a different generation, and as gen Xers, we were
the feral children, and mostly because of the fact that

(01:07:54):
you know, if you were in a single parent household,
there's a good chance that mom left before you did
for school in the morning and went to one job
and then went to another job after that, and you
were home alone until seven or eight o'clock when mom
came home. You, as the pharaoh gen X child, you
were making dinner for you and your sibling. That made

(01:08:17):
us different. But you know what, our parents, they struggled,
they did what they had to do to take care
of their children. But today we just simply go, okay,
we're gonna give you more, cut them off and to
watch these people complain that, oh my god, I have

(01:08:38):
to work. You mean I have to work like twenty
five hours in order to get these benefits. Yeah you do.
Oh by the way, here's the other thing. You don't
need to be buying lobsters. You don't need to be
buying bottles of champagne. One of the things that I
think that we are missing out too, and it comes

(01:09:00):
to the education system. And this is a phrase that
people really need to understand. People need to understand that
I'm sorry, I just got distracted by a comment. I
think that's actually my brother. What people need to understand
is that there's a phrase that makes a lot of

(01:09:22):
sense that the rich act like they're poor and the
poor act like they are rich, and that is the
reason for why you have the disparities between the two.
And you have these people like this woman that I'm
talking about, who has to get out there and it's like,

(01:09:45):
oh my god, I got to have my nails done
so that they look good. First off, hunt and no
offense to you. You're not good looking. You really aren't.
And I'm just gonna say it like this, and I
probably shouldn't put it in this term, but you know me.
I'm just gonna say it like it is. Those baby
daddies they just used you for sex. I highly doubt

(01:10:06):
that those baby daddies were like, mm girl, you are
the girl, and Midre they're like, oh, she's gonna sleep
with me, let's go, and then I'm gonna walk away
and have no responsibility. And you were too stupid to
allow that to happen to yourself. But you see, when
you have a certain income, you have to live within

(01:10:27):
that income. And I think this is the thing that
we're failing to teach people. Now. There are ways that
you can make things great. Like here's the thing, as
a perfect example, macaroni and cheese. Okay, everybody loves a
good macaroni and cheese. But when you get that cheap
box of macaroni and cheese and you open it up
and you look at the directions and it says use

(01:10:48):
X amount of milk an x amount of butter, and
then that's it. Okay, You boil the macaroni and then
you put in that the little cheesy powder stuff, and
then you put in the milk in the butter and
you mix it together, and you like, you know, it's okay.
You know that there are ways that you can make
that generic like and it doesn't even have to be

(01:11:08):
Kraft macaroni and cheese. It can be just the cheapest
one that you get off of the off of the shelf.
If you add and you do this, there's a little
poor man's cooking tip. Boil the pasta. Take the pasta
out of the pot. Now bring the pot back down
there and put the butter in. Melt up the butter

(01:11:32):
and put twice as much butter in. Okay, don't put
just what is it like a quarterstick? I think that
put like a little bit more than that into the thing,
so it's nice and buttery. Pour in the milk that
you're supposed to pour in, and add just a dash
more and whip that up really good, so it's all good.
Then add in your cheese sauce, and then whip the

(01:11:53):
living daylights out of that. Get that going a little bit.
You might need to add just a little bit more milk,
maybe a little bit more butter, but do that, and
you keep doing that, and you get all that strut
to make sure it's not on high heat. By the way,
and d boy, this is actually it's kind of funny.
You said this, because this is almost where it gets to.
If you do that with that cheese, that cheese almost
comes about as velvety as velveta. Then put the macaroni

(01:12:18):
back in, put it all up in there, mix it
all up, and that cheap box of macaroni and cheese
that you just got for maybe fifty cents or a
dollar or whatever it might be, is now probably some
of the creamiest, delicious macaroni and cheese that you've ever had.
It's a simple little thing like that. And these are
the things that we don't teach people. Casey, welcome to

(01:12:40):
the show. No, you have not missed. The big announcement
comes up seven o'clock. So there's the little things that
we need to do to fix society. And when we
have people who get out there and complain that I
can't get my nails done without my EBT card, that's
when you tell them, hey, look, dollar Tree, Dollar General, Walmart.

(01:13:04):
They have fingernail polished that you can buy. And you
know what, here's something else too. As a mother, you
could have one of your children, regardless to whether it's
the little boy, the little girl, whatever, say hey, han,
you want to come do my nails. Let your child
go up and do your nails for you, because that's
another bonding moment, instead of leaving your six children behind

(01:13:29):
and going off to the expense of nail salon to
get your nails done, and then taking to social media
and bitching because we the taxpayers don't want to give
you more money to get your nails did. A lot
of this is up to us to stand up to
it and stop it. 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 back to

(01:14:16):
the Brian Rush Show again. Today is our Red Friday
where we remember everyone who is deployed and thank you
for your service to our nation. Again, from our border
patrol and ice agents right on up to our military
members who are stationed around the country around the world.
We appreciate you being deployed and away from your family,
away from your home and serving this nation. We honor
you today. So yesterday, I don't know if you've heard

(01:14:41):
the reports on this one. It was pretty bad, but
yesterday Dick Cheney, the former Vice president, his funeral finally happened.
Which when did he die? Like a month and a
half ago something like that. It was like the longest
time before this actual funeral ended up happening. But yesterday
the funeral service happened at the National Cathedral in Washington,

(01:15:05):
d C. And it was your typical service. And actually,
to be honest with you, I was kind of surprised
at how and I don't want to use this in
a way that may sound wrong, but it was kind
of ordinary. I really would have thought that it would
have been a lot more than what it was, but

(01:15:25):
it wasn't much of one. It was just kind of
a regular, just generic ceremony. You had the bushes that
were there, and you know, Liz Cheney obviously came out
and did her speech, and you know, family members came
up and did their speech. But the one thing that
was very noticeable that was not there was Donald Trump
and JD. Vance. And the reason for it is because

(01:15:48):
both Donald Trump and JD. Vance were not invited to
the funeral by the Cheney family. And you know, it
was really sad because yesterday Donald Trump and Jade Vance
they had a lot of things that they had to
do yesterday, and you know, during the uh during the

(01:16:09):
funeral service, when when Donald Trump and JD. Vance were
not there. Donald Trump was spotted in the Oval office,
curled up under the desk crying. He was he was upset. Uh,
he just he was beside himself that he was not

(01:16:30):
invited to Dick Cheney's funeral and that the the family
didn't want Donald Trump there. He couldn't just making that up,
totally making that up, Like, did you really even think
that Donald Trump wanted to go to your funeral? I mean,

(01:16:51):
first off, Dick Cheney hated Donald Trump. Now, granted, we
can put aside the feelings in the the the arguments,
beach between everything, and you can be the bigger person
and be like, hey, it's the president of the United States,
and it's a former vice president and we should honor tradition,
and on and on and on and on. But do

(01:17:11):
you really think that the the the Trumps or the
Vances really cared one tiny bit that they were not
invited to the Cheney funeral. Dick Cheney hated him, he
hated Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney hates the Trumps, the Trumps
hates Liz Cheney. There was no need for them to

(01:17:33):
be there. And of course I watched the left talk
about this as if it was something. See Dick Cheney
and the Cheney family. They're sticking it to Donald Trump
one more, not inviting him to the funeral. See that's
how much people don't like you, Donald Trump. They don't
want you at the funeral. I don't think Donald Trump cared.

(01:17:54):
As a matter of fact, it was probably one of those.
Oh Cheney died, okay, So anyhow, what were we talking about. Oh, yeah,
we were talking about ordering pizza. I would really love
the Hawaiian pizza. Could we get there with extra extra
pineapple on that? Oh that would be great, mister president.
The vice president died. Uh huh, I heard you. He

(01:18:18):
doesn't care. But again, the left, they've they've got to
they gotta get out there. And oh my god, you
don't understand how important it is. Donald Trump was not invited.
Not so much. They don't like him, Big deal. Moving on,
Thanks for playing, having a great day later on today,
by the way, in the Oval Office, Zorron, Mama DONI

(01:18:40):
is expected to be at the White House today to
talk with the President regarding obviously a lot of things.
And I would love to be a fly on the
wall for the private meeting. And I'm not sure again,
how much of it will be private because you know
Donald Trump, he's kind of this what's that word again,
Oh yeah, transparent president, where he'll he'll have the arguments

(01:19:03):
right there. You remember the argument that he had with
with Chuck you and Nancy Pelosi. I mean, he just
went at it right there, the whole room, all the
media right there in the room, leaning up against the
resolute desk and everything, and here he is. He just
rips into him. Nancy. Plus, I waited save this for
private meeting. Nope, we're doing it now. So it'll be

(01:19:26):
interesting to see how things go with Zoorn Mamma Donni,
because obviously Donald Trump has said that he is not
a supporter of Zorron Mamma Donnie, that he will cut
back on funding to New York City if Zorron Mamma
Donni does the things that he says he's going to do.
In addition to that, also, you know Tom Holman has said,

(01:19:47):
you know, hey, we're going to ramp up operations in
New York City to go after the illegals, and Zorron
Mamma Donni has said that he's going to be somebody
who's going to stop Donald Trump from doing things in
New York. So this will be this will be an
interesting meeting, to say the least. And again I hope
that Carolyn Levitt acts a little bit more mature when

(01:20:12):
when it comes to talking about this. Yesterday when she
had her her press conference where she she dropped the
line about how we have an actual communist that's coming here. Look,
we all, we all know that he's communist. He doesn't
call himself that. But I still think I was kind
of bothered by the fact that that's the the attitude
that she took. As much as I love Carolyn Levitt,

(01:20:34):
every now and then she shows her age, you know,
she really does. And sometimes I think she needs to
step it up and be a little bit more of
the mature voice, because you know, Donald Trump isn't always
gonna be the one to do that. I mean, Donald
Trump has delivered some great speeches at some things, but yeah,
he's not gonna be the one that's going to be mature.
But somebody's got to be. So coming up at the

(01:20:55):
top of the hour, by the way, again, we do
have a big announcement to be giving you, and and
this still the guesses of the announcement has been very
entertaining for me. I made a tease about it last
night on Facebook and just pretty much everybody is wrong,
even the couple of people who who know who just

(01:21:17):
decided your guesses were pretty funny and I know what
you were doing, but they were funny. But we do
have that coming up. Plus I believe in the in
the next hour, we also have the Dollster Boys going
to be joining, so at least one of them, I
hopefully both of them, because we're on a roll with
that from America in View. So we'll talk with them.
But in the meantime, Donald Trump has had another plan
when it comes to trying to help out the people,
and this one doesn't look like it's going to work

(01:21:38):
out so well for Donald Trump. Donald Trump had had
a proposed plan of introducing a fifty year mortgages to
help lower payments and help Americans enter the housing market.
But with that a lot of critics are warning of
the potential financial risks that are going on. What's that.

(01:22:02):
Carolyn Levitt is Trump's cheerleader, but is still a thousand
times better than KJP. A thousand times are a thousand percent?
I would go ten thousand percent better, hands down. Better.
I love Carolyn Levitt just every now and then she's
just gonna click down just a little bit to the
maturity level, which she's very good at doing, by the way.

(01:22:23):
But this, this whole deal with the fifty year mortgage
plan that Donald Trump has come up with, I mean,
it's better than the well, is it better than the
Democrat plan? Because the Democrat plan is just cheat and
and you know, lie in a mortgage application. Isn't that
the way you're actually supposed to do it? I think maybe?

(01:22:46):
But either way, the President Trump, with the the Federal
Housing Financing Agency Director Bill Pluett, and Moody's economist Mark
Zandi all in on this, and and basic what Donald
Trump is trying to say is that if we did
a fifty year mortgage in stead of the normal thirty
year mortgage, that it would be that it would be

(01:23:08):
better for us when it comes to buying houses and
opening up the housing market. And I understand what Donald
Trump is trying to do, but a lot of the
leading economists and a lot of the financial institutes are
now also jumping into this and saying this is not
a good idea, it's not actually going to work, and
that there's too much risk, and with the level of

(01:23:30):
risk that it also may not get some people to qualify.
And fifty year mortgages, by the way, have also been
used around the world. I mean, the standard one that
we have here in America is a thirty year, and yes,
if we have it a little bit lower, we could
we could have lower payments. But here's the other thing

(01:23:50):
that that people are not taking into consideration when they
look at this and go, that's a great idea. The
problem is is that it extends the interest and you
end up paying more money in the long run if
you did a fifty year mortgage than if you did
a thirty year mortgage. That's one of the problems. Now,

(01:24:13):
what we need to do is just work on getting
the actual interest rates down. If we can get the
interest rates down, if we can get more people to
work and wages up, that's the thing that will actually
benefit the most when it comes to trying to get
the housing market to get going. But in a lot
of other countries they do use the fifty year and
some even do one hundred year mortgages, which I'm not

(01:24:36):
sure how that one works out, but okay, even the
UK has allowed lenders to begin offering some fifty year
mortgages back in twenty twenty two. Japan Switzerland also still
allow one hundred year mortgages, and the United States is
relatively alone in the world when we use the standard
thirty year mortgages and with most countries using the fifty

(01:24:59):
year instead. You know, some of the claims are that
the interest rates on such loans could be significantly higher,
and that is one of the problems is that if
you do have the fifty year, that's more money you're
gonna have to pay on interest, and it costs you
more in the long run. I mean, in a reality

(01:25:19):
what we need to do again, this goes back to
teaching people. We need to start teaching people at a
young age how to buy a house. And I think
that there's a lot of people in this country that
don't understand that process and what you can do to
make it cheaper. I actually have a kid that works

(01:25:41):
for me who I'm twenty years old. Twenty years old,
and the kid that gets it, he understands he actually
wants to buy a house. And you know, you hear
that from twenty year olds all the time that I
want to buy a house. I'm gonna do this. This
kid's like, yeah, I want to buy a house. I've
got like a ridiculous amount of money that has all
been saved up that he's been saving so that he

(01:26:03):
can actually put a rather large down payment down on
a house. And see, that's the thing that people have
got to understand, is that if you want to make
it so that you could afford the houses. One again,
we do need lower interest rates, We absolutely need that.
We also need lower costs when it comes to building

(01:26:26):
of the houses. So there's a lot on the economy
as a overhaul that we need to reduce so that
the cost of houses are lower. But if you put
down a bigger amount of money on that, that's less
money you have to borrow. And then there's also things
like if you pay more into your payment then what
is required, you'll pay it off a lot sooner, and
you'll pay off a little bit less interest as well,

(01:26:47):
and you save money in the long run and you
own a home quicker. These are things that once again
in the financial world, we just don't teach our people.
We don't teach kids how to save and what percentage
we should save and how to budget. Don't let the
politicians do it though, because look, we're what thirty five years,

(01:27:09):
thirty five years without an actual budget in Congress. This
should be simple stuff. They don't do it. And I
don't think that they teach enough about budgeting in school
so that you can do that. But this is one
of the new plans that Donald Trump has been talking about.
And you know, maybe extending it outside of a thirty
year mortgage to something that's more of a forty year

(01:27:29):
maybe that is a solution. But a lot of financial
people right now are actually putting that in check and saying, eh,
we might want to hold off on that because it
might not be as successful as you think. But again,
if we don't fix the food, we won't live for
a fifty year mortgage anyhow, or let alone one hundred
year mortgage. I'm just saying, all right, we gotta take

(01:27:51):
another quick break. We'll be right back. This is the
Brian Rush Show.

Speaker 10 (01:27:54):
Good morning, all right, welcome back to the Brian Rush
Show here on our red Friday, so where we remember
everyone deployed.

Speaker 1 (01:28:15):
Coming up seven o'clock. Got a big announcement before you.
We will chat about that coming up. Just a little bit.
Debt and inflation kills wealth. Yeah, you're right, it absolutely does.
And you know that's another thing that needs to be
taught is how to make sure that you keep yourself
out of debt. And again, one of the things to

(01:28:38):
teach people, and it's it's that old phrase about how
the wealthy act poor and the poor act wealthy, and
that that refers to spending. You know, the the the
poor will always be like, oh my god, I gotta
have my three hundred dollars nails. It's like, how long
are those gonna last you? It doesn't matter how to
have them? What can you afford them? Nope? But I
can get them on my ebt card. It's come on.

(01:29:01):
So we have to teach a lot better when it
comes to economics and how to budget, and clearly it's
not being done right. I mean. I actually had a
girl that worked for me who at the time when
she worked for me, she was eighteen or nineteen. She
just graduated and this was Bay District Schools she graduated from.
And we were talking about some stuff business wise, and

(01:29:22):
we came into the topic of checks, like checks and
check books and stuff like that, and she looked at me,
she goes, yeah, I don't even know how to do that.
I'm like, don't know how to do what? And she's
like write a check? Like you don't know how to
write a check? She's like, no, I don't know how
to fill it out. Do you know how to balance

(01:29:44):
a bank account? She's like, Nope, they never taught us
that in school, thinking to myself, going holy, not even
just writing out a check. I mean there's you know
where where you put the date and you write out
the dollar amount one O n E one hundred dollars

(01:30:08):
zero zero slash one hundred. They never taught that. Nope.
So if they weren't on the then they obviously they
weren't taught anything about making sure that you balance your
bank account. I mean, granted today I don't really I
mean for some of my businesses, I have to actually
do it, but like on my personal level, look, I've

(01:30:31):
got the app, I pull the app up, I pull
up my bank and look at it and be like, okay, okay,
that's going through, that's going through so much money. I've
got all right, good, We've gotten spoiled a little bit
by technology, But there's so much stuff that we have
not actually taught people on how to do that? Uh,
what's that your Your stepson graduated and couldn't sign his name. Yeah,

(01:30:53):
that's the other thing. They don't teach you how to
sign your name because I guess they don't teach cursive
any longer, so there's no need to teach you how
to sign your name. But I've seen people it's like
I've given them paperwork to fill out and I'm like, yeah,
I just signed your name there, and they spell their
name out and I'm like, you're supposed to sign it,
and like I did. I'm like that's not which I

(01:31:15):
guess now makes it a little bit more sense too,
because how many times have you done this? When it
comes to electronic signatures where you have to sign something
online and it's not one of those pads where you
can like scribble your signature with your finger or whatever
or a little pen. Instead, it's one of those okay,
sign here, and you're looking at it and going, you're
clicking on it, going how do I sign it here?

(01:31:37):
And it only keeps giving you a little cursor and
you're like, wait a second, and you type your name
in and you're like, that's not signing it really cursive
in Florida is a thing now. That is awesome in
a way because, as deem Boy just pointed out, cursive
it's our secret code if we start But you know what, actually,

(01:31:58):
if we start teaching a the Gen Alpha how to
do cursive, because I pointed this out Gen Alpha, if
you pay attention to them, they seem to be the
reincarnation of Gen Z. I have seen Gen Alpha. These

(01:32:19):
kids do some of the dumbest things that I watch
that and go, that's a Gen Z or Gen xer. Look,
it's a gen xer. They're being reincarnated in the Gen Alpha,
which is kind of a cool thing. So maybe we
should teach Gen Alpha that so that way Gen Alpha

(01:32:41):
and Gen X and the olders we can communicate and
keep Gen Z and the millennials out of the conversation.
This might work. We might have our new little warriors
for the future if we go ahead and do that.
Speaking of new little Warriors for the future, I really
thought that this was a thing of the past and
that this was shot down via common sense. But apparently

(01:33:04):
I'm wrong. When it comes to that there are and
I want to meet these experts. Experts are now urging
parents to ask babies for consent before changing their diapers.

(01:33:26):
I'm going to repeat that headline just in case you
thought you misheard that experts urge parents to ask babies
for consent before changing their diapers. There is a group
of early childhood development researchers in Australia that are now

(01:33:46):
advising parents to begin asking infants for consent before changing
their diapers. There's not enough alcohol to get through this
particular story, I don't think or coffee, but we're gonna try.
According to a November twenty twenty five guide which has

(01:34:07):
been released by the Deacon University and has now been
reported by The New York Post, recommendations outline a new
approach to diaper changing that encourages parents to communicate with
their babies about the process, even though the babies can't
speak yet. Now I am without child. I don't have

(01:34:29):
any kids myself, but my baby brother I changed his
diapers when he was a kid. I've had, you know, nieces, nephews.
I've had girlfriends with nieces and nephews. I've changed my
fair share of diapers in my life. I have done it.
Not one time have I ever gone up and said,

(01:34:52):
oh my God, would you like to have your diaper changed?
Is your diaper full of poo poo? Would you like
it changed? And wait for them to go gues. Please,
this really mushy all over my butt and I don't
like it and it thinks bad? Can you change my diaper? Now? Granted,
as an adult with a baby, we all do that

(01:35:13):
little baby goo goo thing and you go up and go,
oh my god, somebody's got a stinky diaper. Yeah, did
you make a boom boom in your pants? Yes, you did,
didn't you? And the kid looks up and your smile
and like, I did it. It feels gushy? Can you
take it out? And you go okay, you want me
to go ahead and change your diaper? Yeah, that's fine.
I'm gonna change your diaper because you poopled your pants,
and you, as a grown ass, responsible adult, goes, okay,

(01:35:37):
wait right here, and you reach over, you grab the
clean diaper, you grab the wipes, and you get ready
and you you wanto the little button there and the
little onesie and you pull that onesie up and you
get it behind their back a little bit so you
don't get it full of everything. Then you look at
the baby go okay, we're gonna change it. Poopy diaper, okay.
And then you you unpeel the lad the stick in

(01:36:00):
the side there, and you grab hold of it and
you go, don't pee on me, and then you pull
it back and go, oh god, horrible. Okay, Oh hang on.
Get the wipes ready, all right, pull out white, white white.
Put that in here, Get that over there, get it
out of the way, wipe a little bit more. Pick
it up. You made a mess, didn't you. And you

(01:36:21):
get down in here getting the crevice, and you get
all that all cleaned up. And by the way, that's
not molesting the child, that's getting the crap out of
the crevice. You get it all out of there. You
look again, all nice and clean. Oh my god, it
looks like he's gonna pee. Grab the diaper, put it
over there, Cover it up before you get peed on.
Put that thing back on the put it okay. You
diapersation clean now, isn't it. And you pull that little
onesie back down and you snap the thing up and
you lift over it. Go yay, we got a nice

(01:36:43):
clean diaper, all right. Put you over on the shoulder.
Let's grab the dirty diper, will throw it away. That
is how you change a damn baby's diaper. But experts,
I want to know who these experts are and how
did you do the research? Did you get a bunch
of babies and you feed them and then let them

(01:37:03):
sit there and wait until they pooped, and then you
go up and you go okay, So how should we
do this? I mean, I mean, we are gonna we're
gonna disrobe this infant. We're gonna expose their private parts,
so you know, we don't want them to feel bad,
so we should we should make sure that it's okay
with them, right? What if you're not share of the communication?

(01:37:26):
I mean, and how do you do this? I'm really
I am like mind blowing on this, and I want
to know how the research goes with this. So you
got a baby now that clearly has pooped the living
daylights out of their pants, like it's oozing out the edges.
It's very obvious that this diaper needs to be changed
right now. And you look down at that baby and

(01:37:46):
you go, Hi, mister baby, I would like to change
your diaper right now. Do I have your consent to
take your clothes off of you and remove that diaper
as your parent and clean up all of the poop
and put the diaper back on. Now, how do you
determine that the baby is saying yes to this? I mean,

(01:38:11):
how do you do it? The baby it just looks
at you and is hearing the words that are coming
out of your mouth and it sounds funny, and they're
looking back up at you, and you're googlying that the baby,
and the baby's googlying at you. I mean, how do
you what when the baby's not doing that? Is that
an indication? If the baby looks back at you, like,
don't touch my diaper, I just pooped in it? I mean,

(01:38:33):
is is that the indict I know, I'm confused, I
really am. I want to see the research. Get me
the research paper please, because this to me, just and again,
this is the leftist you need. You need to check
with consent. Now, the baby pooped his pants, that diaper's
coming off, but you could be exposing it and you'd

(01:38:53):
be seeing their private areas. I'm the kid's father, trust me,
It's not gonna be the last time that I'm gonna
see that little thing. It's none that big of a deal.
But the researchers on this continue the recommendations outlined basically
the new approach for diaper changing that encourages the parents
to communicate with their babies about the process even though

(01:39:14):
they don't understand what's going on, and they the researchers
wrote that at the start of nappy change, ensure your
child knows what's happening. Okay, they said, get down to
their level and say you need a nappy change, and
then pause so they can take this in the guidance

(01:39:37):
then further suggests that the parents should take additional steps
of notifying a baby of the diaper change. They can
then you can say to the baby, do you want
to walk or crawl to me to the changing table
or would you like me to carry you? First off,
every Bible wants you to be carried, so I mean,

(01:39:58):
that's kind of obvious. But Reacher's researchers recommended observing the
child's facial expressions and body language to check if they
understand what's happening. This can be a time to help
children learn about consent and how their bodies work, according
to the researchers. They did not respond to request by

(01:40:20):
the way for comments from The New York Post because
I'm sure the New York Post wanted to go, hey,
how do you know what the hell the child is saying?
The suggestions also fall under what is commonly referred to
as gentle parenting. It's gentle parenting. Now, granted you you

(01:40:41):
could come out and you could say, hey, listen, when
your kid poops and pants, it's probably not a good
idea to go, oh, what the hell did you your
pants again? God, you stupid kid. But obviously that's not
a good way of approaching it. But show me a
parent that doesn't find the humor in being able to

(01:41:02):
change the diaper again. I've never changed the kid's diaper
where I've been like fuming upset about it. As a
matter of fact, I had an incident. And I don't
know why we're talking about poops so much this morning,
but we are. I had an incident girl that I
was dating her her brother had had two babies, and
the one particular one we were at the at her
parents' house and her father at the time, you know,

(01:41:27):
it was one of those those old time grandpas that
wanted to be a grandpa. But when the grandpa kind
of stuffed the you know, the the diaper thing thing
happened they didn't want anything to do with it, you know.
And and he was sitting there playing with the little kid,
and and and he was like, I don't know, four
or five months old. It wasn't very old at all.
And all of a sudden, the kid did the massive

(01:41:50):
just drop. I mean from the cross the room. You
saw and heard the diaper go. And the diaper increased
in about four times the size in the back. Now
as we do because we find things funny, and poop
humor is always funny to adults, especially men, we laugh
at it. And I laughed at it, but he was traumatized.

(01:42:13):
He's like, whoa to do? And the kid was like,
oh god, that was a good one. And he sat
there like not sure, and being the good guy that
I am, I walked off. I'm like, come on, let
me take the baby. And I took the baby and
I brought it out, and I knew what this was
going to be like, because it was it was itzing

(01:42:36):
out of places it shouldn't have been loosing out of
so I knew this was going to be a mess.
And I went and I did the thing, and you know, again,
under the circumstances, it wasn't pretty I looked down at him.
I was like, did you make a big mess in
your pants? And I'm smiling at him and I'm saying
things and he's looking back up at me like, oh
my god, it felt so good. And that's how you

(01:42:56):
handle it. That's how you do it with a baby.
I'm the idea of stopping and going, Okay, is it
going to be okay for me to change your poopy
diaper that's dripping all over the place. No, you don't
want me to do that. Okay, Well I'll let you
walk around with it, and then you can get some
diaper ration and all kinds of stuff, and then your

(01:43:16):
junk will get it infected and everything and it'll be okay,
all right. Just hey, if you told me no, I
can't do it, the hell is this world coming to with?
That is what we are getting at, where we have
to ask for permission. And again I thought that this
was like done and over with. I really did. I
thought that this was done and over with because there
was experts here in the US not too long ago

(01:43:38):
that also brought this up. But the approach, by the way,
is associated with the millennial and gen Z parents, and basically,
you know, There's been a big debate about this as well,
but the University guide also encourages infants and involving infants
directly in diaper changing process. You don't want them involved
in that. I mean as a parent or slash a

(01:44:01):
baby baby diaper changer. How many times do you no
get your hands out and you've got to play the
whole How do I get both of their tiny little
hands and their feet and get them both up out
of the way and not let the one hand that
slips out to try and let me play it with
all out bit And now you're trying to take it
off and put yep. I'm sorry, I really am sorry

(01:44:29):
that that's the direction that we just went would in
the show. But don't worry about it. We'll change directions
a little bit. Big announcement coming up here in just
a couple of minutes will have that for you, so
stick around for that. In the meantime, let's do a
break for those who need to go change a diaper
or whatever you gotta do. Hang on, we'll be right back.

(01:44:51):
Good morning. This is a red Friday again remembering everyone
who has deployed. Thank you for your service. We do
appreciate it. We'll be right back, all right. Welcome back

(01:45:30):
to the Brian Russ Show. Thank you so much for
making us part of your day today. We do appreciate it.
Thank you for so much for making us part of
your day every day. We do love having you a
part of the show. The guesses continue to go, and
you guys have got some great guesses about the big announcement.
And I still got like two and a half minutes

(01:45:51):
to go before seven o'clock, and I'm gonna be punctual
when it comes out. I'm gonna I'm gonna wait until
actually seven o'clock when we talk about it. By the way,
we are, we're breaking our streak. Coming up at the
bottom of the hour. Bred Doster from the Doster Boys
with America in View will not be joining us, and said,
we're gonna have wait a second, let me show you

(01:46:13):
get that right. Yeah, just Matt, So just Matt will
be joining us coming up at the bottom of the
hour from America in View. We'll talk about some of
the things that are going on. Tallahassee is getting active,
so there's a lot happening up in Tallahassee, and we'll
get some updates from him. As they're getting ready to
go into their next session. A lot of the committees

(01:46:34):
that are doing some work and see what we're going
to get out of them. In the meantime, in Chicago,
once again the continued violence that is going on in
the city, and again all of this violence always happens
to these big blue cities. There was a twenty six
year old woman in Chicago that was riding the Chicago Transit,

(01:46:55):
the Blue Line train, and she was set on fire.
She was riding this The victim of this is unnamed
at this point, ah they've released so far as that
she's a twenty six year old woman and the suspect
is believed to be a forty five year old man
who fled the scene. And it happened about nine point

(01:47:15):
thirty at night on the CTA's Blue Line as the
train was approaching the Clerk and Lake stop in Chicago.
And once again we're seeing this level of violence that
happens up there in Chicago. And the woman is now
fighting for a life in critical condition after being set
on fire again twenty six years old. The assailant is

(01:47:38):
a forty five year old man who the according to
the Chicago Police, the victim was doused with an unknown
liquid before being set ablaze. She managed to stumble onto
the platform where bystanders extinguished the flames, and the woman
was then rushed to the hospital with severe burns to
her body and fail and remains in critical condition, according

(01:48:02):
to the witnesses, describing the scene as harrowing just seeing
her laying on the ground and she was kind of
hyperventilating and a lot of pain. And of course this
is not the only time that we have seen this happen.
We saw the same similar thing happen in places like
New York and the violence that needs to be cleaned up,
and the politicians need to get their stuff together. They

(01:48:23):
absolutely do, all right, So let's get to it here.
We do have some pretty much some breaking news and
a big announcement to make and this is I gotta
tell you, this is something that really came out of nowhere.
I was not expecting this whatsoever. And let me just
first off, give credit to all of the people who

(01:48:45):
have come up with some of the funniest guests and
they've been hilarious, they really truly have. And trying to
figure out the best way to go about all this.
First off, there are some things that I have been
asked to do. And I've been very honest with you
about this before, with how I've had a lot of

(01:49:07):
people have asked me to run for office again, and
I've talked about this a lot, and I have said that,
you know, this is not the time for me to
do it when I was doing the radio show. Because
of the fact that I was doing the radio show.
In order for me to run for an office, I
was not able to do that without giving up the

(01:49:27):
radio show. And I've had a passion for politics for
a very long time. It's the reason for why we
do the show. It's the reason why we talk about
this stuff every single day, and you know, to kind
of get to the point really quickly on this. On Tuesday,
one of the county commissioners here in Bay County, Florida,

(01:49:49):
where we base the show out of where I live,
announced that he is not running for reelection. And he
is a friend of mine, somebody who I've I've had
the privilege of getting to know that I call him
a friend. He is deciding to not run for reelection
due to a family member and health condition of the

(01:50:12):
family member, and he wants to spend more time with
a family member, and that's an absolutely honorable thing to do.
Doug Moore, who is the commissioner for District number four
here in Bay County, and made this announcement on Tuesday.
When I woke up on Wednesday morning to do the
show at three o'clock in the morning, I was blown
away by how many missed phone calls and text messages

(01:50:34):
and emails that I had. And after a very long
conversation that went on on Wednesday with multiple people that
are close to me, multiple people that have encouraged me
in the past, decision was made on Wednesday. And now
I'm going to let you know what the decision has

(01:50:56):
been made. And the decision is that I am announcing
right now my candidacy for the Bay County Commissioner in
District number four. This is an election that's going to
be taking place with a primary in August of twenty
twenty six. If there is a Democrat or an independent

(01:51:16):
that also gets into the race, then it will move
on to the general election in November of next year.
In the meantime, the election will be in August, and
that is the decision that I have made. I have
decided because at this point in time one I did
not want to run against my friend. I didn't want
to do it. I thought that he did a very

(01:51:37):
good job in the role and there was no need
to try to replace him. Now that he is stepping
out of that role, after the ending of his term,
there will be a need for somebody else to step
into that role. And again, with a lot of long conversations,
a lot of deep thoughts about it, and really thinking

(01:52:01):
about the the the whole aspect of it, I decided
that this is the time to do it. I don't
have to give up the radio show. Instead, I will
continue to do this show every Monday through Friday. There
may be a time once in a while where I
may have to go to an early campaign event, at

(01:52:23):
which point either we won't do a show, or there'll
be a show that'll be cut short, one of the two.
But this is a thing, and I know that now
there will be a concern that, oh my god, there's
an undue influence because he's got the show and on
and on, and I don't know if there's anybody else
that's going to be doing this. As a matter of fact,
when the show is over today, I will be going
in to officially file my paperwork. We're just making the

(01:52:46):
announcement a little bit early, but that is what I'm
going to be doing. And again, there was a lot
of deep thought about it, whether or not it was
the right time for me to do it, if I'm
the right person for it, and with a lot of conversations,
the decision was made. So yes, we are doing it.

(01:53:06):
We are running for the County Commissioner District number four. Again.
The election will happen in August. Don't know if anybody
else is going to jump into the race, but we'll see.
And this is one of the things that I am
going to promise those who watch the show on a
regular basis and listen to the podcast and everything else,
that the Brian Rust Show is not going to be

(01:53:30):
the platform that I'm going to use for running for
this office. The show is not going to change at all. Now. Obviously,
outside of this show, I am going to be addressing
a lot of the issues that affect people here in
Bay County. And the reason for why I am not
going to use this platform as an element for my

(01:53:54):
campaign is because of the fact that we have so
many people that watch this show from around the country
and around the world. And I don't want to take
away from the topics that we talk about that are state, national,
worldwide level to talk about issues that are local level
that don't affect many people who watch this show. So

(01:54:16):
we will continue this show as it is. It's not
going to change. I'm not using this as a platform.
There will be other social media posts. There is going
to be a website. There's going to be social media
aspects as well that I will obviously take to that.
I will produce videos for that, I will do a

(01:54:38):
lot of posts for and we'll see those there. This
show will continue as is, will not change, will not
be affected at all. So starting right away because again
the election is in August of twenty twenty six, so
we're jumping into it right away and starting our campaign now.

(01:55:00):
Obviously during the holiday season there's not a whole lot
that goes on, and in the very beginning of the campaign,
we we will be doing a lot of fundraising, a
lot of talking with people, getting the team together. That's
really what we're gonna do. And again, this all came
about on Wednesday, Like Wednesday morning, I woke up because

(01:55:21):
I missed the news on Tuesday, and and I have
talked with Doug and you know about everything, and and
it was last minute news and I and I I
thought about it a lot, even during the show on Wednesday,
because there's so many messages I had. And I spent
the entire day Wednesday thinking about it, talking about it,
going over it with people, and and we made that decision.

(01:55:44):
So starting now, the campaign for me to be the
county commissioner for for Bay County's District number four is
on again. I know that some people have asked about,
you know already, how where can we donate? What can
we do? There will be a website and I'll share
that with you guys later once it's up and going.

(01:56:05):
There'll be a website and there'll be some other social
media as well. And and of course you know when
we do these things, and it all depends upon who
decides to challenge me in this to see if anybody
else is going to want to get involved. And one
of the things that have happened in Bay County is
that a lot of people haven't been getting involved in politics.
And some of those that have, of let's face it,

(01:56:28):
not some of the best ones. But I can tell
you that this particular seat that I am going after
is a slightly unique one, even though with Bay County
it is really kind of an at large and with
with Bay County, it doesn't matter what district do you live,
and you you vote for all of the county commissioners,

(01:56:49):
but obviously a commissioner is going to have their district
that they're gonna obviously focus on. And this particular district
is is what I've joked as being the can retional
district two kind of seats of Florida. It's the biggest
district in the county. It literally covers the west end
of the beach, It covers the Margaritaville area, It covers

(01:57:13):
all of North Bay County down into the Southport area
and kind of overload. So it's a huge area. And
with that area, it also covers a wide variety of things.
And the wide variety of things includes the beach tourism
and the very rural folks who in a lot of

(01:57:33):
ways in Bay County for a very very long time,
have been forgotten and ignored. So it's a tricky seat
to do because you have an interesting balance and the
best person that you need in that role is somebody
who can do that balance. And I am somebody who
can do that balance. I am somebody who I love

(01:57:56):
to talk to the common person. I don't care what
your income, love, Liz, I want to talk to the
average person. I do it all the time. We've been
doing it on the show for six years. You know.
I have a concern about what the elderly people, the
lower income people in certain areas are doing. And then
I also have friends and interests when it comes to

(01:58:18):
the business, and I have a platform when it comes
to that. And I'm not really going to get into
it here on the show, because again, this is not
where I'm going to do this. We're going to do
it on the other social media and website and everything
else for the show. But it's going to be an
interesting fight because I've heard that there's already a few
people that are part of the inner circle of some

(01:58:40):
of the establishment of the county that are interested in
doing it. And then that's fine because open conversation, let's
bring it on. We shouldn't have just one person. It
shouldn't be an anointed person. We should have one or
two other people get into this so that we can
talk about the issues and we can find the best person.

(01:59:01):
So that's what's going on with me. We are doing
that again. The the campaign pretty much starts right away. Again,
it's it's going into into the holiday season. So obviously
not a whole lot is gonna happen, but I'll fill
you in on things from time to time when it goes.
And and you know, this is the other thing about

(01:59:23):
me running for office, and I know this is going
to come to a shock. I am not going to
change who I am. And I had this conversation with
a couple of my political consultant friends and one comment was,
you might want to go back on your social media
and delete things. And while I understand the the concept

(01:59:48):
of doing that, because you don't want something on your
social media that you know somebody can turn around and
go after and say, see this is what's bad about him.
But here's the thing, I'm not going to do that
because I am who I am. I have said what
I have said. I have may have been in the
heat of a moment. It may have been a very direct,

(02:00:10):
very opinionated statement that I have made. It may have
been a joke that somebody who's uptight finds inappropriate, but
I am who I am, and I am not going
to ask anybody in Bay County to elect me to
be somebody who I am not. I am direct, i
am blunt, i am very honest, and I'm very transparent

(02:00:33):
and that's who I'm going to be and that's not
going to change. So if somebody else wants to run
against me, which again, please do because the more the marrier,
well not really the more the mary but a handful
would be Okay. The idea of you going to go
back into my social media to take some sort of
a political cheap shot, I'm just going to warn you

(02:00:56):
right now. I am a gen xer from New England
who doesn't give a shit, and you have to be prepared.
If you're going to come and try and attack me
personally for anything, be prepared for my comeback. I am
not going to attack people on a personal level, because

(02:01:18):
the bottom line is anything on somebody's personal level, a
statement that somebody may have made it, a post that
somebody may have made it, a photo, or whatever it
might be, unless it's really bad, doesn't matter. So I'm
telling anybody now who wants to run against me that

(02:01:38):
when you run against me, this is going to be
an argument and a discussion about the issues. It's not
going to be a discussion about a post that I
made one time, because if you bring it up, be
prepared because I'm going to be honest with you, and
I'm going to be direct, and I might make you cry.
The thing that is important is that we are honest

(02:01:58):
with the people of Bay County. We are a growing county,
a county now that is well over two hundred thousand
people and growing. We have businesses that need to be
developed here, We have infrastructure things that need to be done.
We have real issues that affect real people every day.
And what I may have posted last month, or what
I may have posted on social media a couple of

(02:02:20):
years ago, or what I may have said to somebody
in a in a direct message because they were being
an idiot, that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to the
average person. What matters to the average person is that
they have fire police, that they have all the utilities
that are taken care of, that the taxes are low,

(02:02:43):
that we spend our money correctly, and that those are
the things that are important. What are we going to
do for the individual? What are we going to do
for the person who is living in a rundown single
wide trailer in North Bay County. And what are we
going to do for the person who lives in the
mansion on the beach. What are we going to do
for the struggling business owner. What are we going to

(02:03:03):
do for this successful business owner. What are we going
to do for the person who wants to start a business.
These are the things that we will talk about. We're
not going to take it personal. But I will tell
you this now. If you want to take things personal,
if you're going to run against me, just beware that
not only do I punch back harder, I will punch

(02:03:25):
back one hundred times harder. I will make you cry.
I will make your spouse cry, I will make anybody
who knows you cry because you're doing something stupid that
doesn't matter to the people. Focus focus on the issues,
Focus on what matters to the actual people of Bay County.
And that is the reason for why I'm running for
County Commissioner. I am running because I want to make

(02:03:48):
Bay County a better place. It's already a great place.
I moved here in two thousand and seven. I've decided
not to leave it. I've made it my home because
I fell in love not only with the area, but
I fell in love with the people. I have run
for office twice before, and I have learned great lessons.
I've made great contacts, and I have learned so much
and now I want to put it to work. And

(02:04:10):
that's what's going to happen now. I will also say
this too, and I will be, you know, always honest,
and when somebody comes to me and says, hey, here's
a problem, I will I will tell you, hey, that
is a problem. Yes, you're right, I agree, but not
something that the County Commission can handle. I'm not going

(02:04:30):
to lie to you to try and get a vote
by having you being riled up and upset about something
and you come to me and say, hey, you got
to do something about this, and I'll be like, absolutely,
I'm going to do that for you, knowing full well
that I cannot. But if it is something that I
cannot do because it's not the role of the County Commission,

(02:04:52):
or it is something that falls under the role of
a in particular city, Panama City or Lynn Haven or
Panama City Beach or one of the other communities, I
will help. I will support but you will have to
understand that. I will also tell you that that is
not something that the County commission handles, and I will
point you in the direct direction, and I will support
you and I will back you, but I will be

(02:05:14):
honest with you, not gonna lie. Some people may have
a hard time dealing with the directness, but you know
me at this point, I am direct, I am honest
about things. I'm not going to candy coat things. But
I am also going to do my absolute best. And
you know, because I tell you all the time how
devoted I am to things. My average day is seventeen

(02:05:35):
hours a day. I'm probably one of the hardest working
people you will know. And I will not change to
become a Bay County Commissioner. I am who I am
and that's not going to change. And that is the
reason for why I'm running for office. So again, for
those that are interested, I will in the next couple
of days, I will give you some of the social

(02:05:58):
media aspects of where you can reach out see more.
And again for those that already have said, hey, I
would like to donate, I will get you the information
as well. You know, it's obviously it's expensive to do campaigns.
Most of the time, for a campaign like this, it's
one hundred thousand dollars if not more, to run an

(02:06:18):
effective campaign. So there you go. So that's our big news.
The Brian Russ for Being County Commissioner District number four
campaign now officially underway. I support I support all the
people here and I appreciate the sport that you get
and we will build this. We'll build a team for
those that want to help out. I'll let you know
how you can reach out and help out as well.

(02:06:40):
But I appreciate it. Again. As far as the show goes,
this show doesn't change. This show will happen every day
Monday through Friday, unless there's a campaign thing that I
have to do, but we will still do the show.
I will be the person that I have always been.
I am not going to change just because I'm running
for off. I'm not going to delete something because somebody goes, oh,

(02:07:03):
they can use it against you, because I fair warning.
I've already given it. If you want to make a
personal attack because there's something that I may have posted
on social media, because I can tell you I haven't
posted anything on social media that's bad. You may not
like the opinion. You may not like the language chosen,
you might not like how I presented it, but it

(02:07:24):
is how I thought and I'm not changing that to
get a vote. All right, we got to take a
quick break. Coming up at the bottom of the hour,
Matt Doster from the America in View we're going to
be joining us. We got to take a quick break.
We'll be right back. This is the Brian Rush Show.
Good morning, and of course it's a Red Friday where
we remember everyone who is deployed, and that includes all

(02:07:44):
of our military, all of our ice and government agencies.
Thank you so much for doing what you're doing. We'll
be right back. Good morning, are right, Welcome back to

(02:08:07):
the Brian Rush Show on our Red Friday, remembering everyone
who is deployed. Guys into the comments, You guys are
so funny. Again, for those that may have missed the
big announcements, I have announced my campaign for County Commissioner
here in Bay County, which starts right away. And I
know you disappointed, Dean boy. You're hoping for the gender
change announcement. I know by the way, some of the

(02:08:29):
guesses in the comments have been hilarious. They really truly
are and what is that you may just like your
show have a little less swearing, you know what, here's
my problem to And again, I'm not changing who I am.
I am who I am, and that's all there is
to it. And I get it that every now and

(02:08:50):
then there are people that'll be like, oh my god,
I can't believe he's swore. You know what. My favorite
word in my language is f and and sure I
know when to and when not to during the show.
We drop it from time to time because it's necessary.
But again, I'm not gonna change who I am. There's
absolutely nothing about who I am that will change as

(02:09:11):
we do the campaign. And and again it's it's one
of those take it as is or don't. And if
you don't that, that's fine. If you want somebody who's
all prim and proper, that's fine. But I can tell
you this, any politician that comes out and does this,
anybody that that that comes out and is is all

(02:09:32):
of a sudden, like the perfect poster child for the
ideal person that is that has never done anything wrong
and has never said a bad word before and never
done anything. They are about as fake as fake can be.
And I can tell you this that that so many,
not every politician, but most politicians. They will polish themselves up.

(02:09:54):
They will change the ways that they say things, and
they they oh my god, I would never say that.
Locker room talk. That's that's But meanwhile, you go, the
hell are you talking about? I saw you on the
golf course. I heard what you said. Oh, by the way,
how's your girlfriend doing? You know, there's there's a lot
of things along that line that you see some politicians do.
So I'm not that person. You know that I'm not

(02:10:18):
that person, and I'm not going to change. I am
who I am, and that's all there is to it.
Just all I got to say is be careful about
trying to make some personal attacks, because it's when politics
is not about personal it's about doing what is right
for the people who elect you into the office. And
that's what I want to do. But that Dean cussing

(02:10:39):
is like hot sauce. Oh I gotta hear more on
that one. How is cussing like hot sauce? Because I
like hot sauce. I do like something really good.

Speaker 2 (02:10:50):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (02:10:50):
Trump has dropped the F bomb? How many? Yeah? And
again you know Trump dropping the F bomb is because
one somebody posted this one time and then, and I
find it kind of funny and it's and it's true
that it is the way real people talk. I mean,
not everybody cusses. I get that that that, no, not
everybody does, but people talk in a real way, and

(02:11:15):
politicians never do it, they absolutely never do it. What's that?
Can you do something about the the holes that are
left in the lane on seventy seven every day? You
know what? Seventy seven is a state road, so that

(02:11:36):
would be one of those argue it kind of things.
And you know, and here's the thing. I'm all about
arguing too, as you know that. So yeah, we'll see
what we can do. Yeah, that's right. I do cuss
a lot outside of the show. I mean I drop
a bomb every now and then. And obviously, I know,

(02:11:57):
a professional setting when you're when you're supposed to be
in it. And it's not like I will be ever
sitting at the dais and being like ef this. You know,
obviously you you you act a little bit appropriate, but
there's going to be conversations that that I'll have where
I'm I'm just gonna be me. It's just all there
is to it. So yeah, well, we'll see what happens

(02:12:19):
with everything. Like I said, the campaign is now getting
officially underway. Later on this morning, we will make it
absolutely one hundred percent official as we file all of
our paperwork for it today. But right now we're just
making the announcement as we get into the weekend, and
again we will we'll let you know about the social
medias and everything else once they are up and ready,
which will we should have them done for this weekend

(02:12:41):
so that you can do that. But the one thing
I promise, I am not going to change. I am
who I am, and that's that's all there is to it,
all right. What else what you could do is I'll
do his nails for him. I could do my own nails.
You know, what do you guys think should I get
like the spiked which, by the way, can I answer

(02:13:03):
this question just totally different subject a little bit, just
but going on the nails thing, because I watched these
videos of these of these girls, and I know girls
that have these nails and they have like those crazy
ass like really long like talent things. How do you
function in life with that? I mean, I'm just it's
a special skill, I guess for women to be able
to do that with long nails. But I've always had

(02:13:24):
that question, like, first off, why do you have them?
I mean those are like deadly weapons. I mean, geez,
but how do you function with those big old nails?
Or what's that great answer on seventy seven, I'm tired
of every politician knowing their their perview. Yeah, I mean, look,
here's the thing. There's a lot of things when it

(02:13:46):
comes to the politicians that they just don't tell you,
like it is that it's easier for them to to
kind of give you a cant What can I say
those soften things? What can I say to make you
feel better? Do you feel beat? Okay? Granted to my job.
Sometimes you don't want to hear that is not something
that I'm responsible for and I can't do anything about it.

(02:14:10):
That's not what you really truly want to hear. But
sometimes you got to hear that. You got to hear
the things like this. This is the one thing as
an example, and Mark Sheldon and I when he was
the mayor, we talked about this before and this is
one of the things that frustrated him a lot, and
it is probably going to be a thing that frustrates
me because I hate the take forever in politics. But

(02:14:32):
when all the construction stuff was starting on the beach,
you know, people were flipping out about it, and they
were blaming Mark Sheldon, and they were blaming the city,
and they're blaming all this other stuff. This is the
thing that everybody's got to understand. All of the construction
projects like the back Beach and the middle Beach and
the front beach, those are all state roads. Even though

(02:14:53):
they are the three main roads that go right through
Panama City Beach, they're state roads. Therefore it's the state
that is responsible for it, just like seventy seven and
seventy nine, Like seventy seven with the what was it,
the twenty years long just to do that project going
through there. Now, don't go Swalwall on us. Well like

(02:15:15):
pass gas in the middle of something like in the
middle one of those things. Don't worry, I'll never be
like Swalwal. So it's one of these things where so
many people didn't know and a lot of politicians didn't
come out and really be honest and say, hey, uh,
the reason why is because well that's a state road
we don't have control over. So there you go, all right,

(02:15:36):
we gotta take one quick break. When we come back.
Matt Doster is going to be joining us from from
America in View. Hang on, we uh will chat with
him coming up next. We'll wear it back, all right,

(02:15:59):
Welcome back to the Brian Rush Show. Thank you so
much for waking up with us today. By the way,
thank you to all the comments. It's going to take
me a while to get through a lot of those
with the big announcement that we made earlier. But now
I want to welcome back to the show. And this
is the first time we've done this in a while
that we only have one Doster boy, but Matt Doster
from America in View is joining us on the show

(02:16:20):
this morning. Matt, how you doing, buddy right?

Speaker 2 (02:16:24):
And I'm doing good man, And it's I feel honored.
I'm like the first guests. Yeah, after this huge announcement,
I don't know what to say. I feel like I
feel like this is the perfect day for Brett not
to be on. I get to you know, I get
to be the in the middle of it all with you.
So congratulations on this announcement.

Speaker 1 (02:16:42):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:16:43):
We're excited for you on the opportunity and yeah, looks
like a lot of fun in the in the future
for you.

Speaker 1 (02:16:49):
Yeah, it'll be it'll be a lot of fun. It
will be very interesting. Again, for those that just tuning
in into haven't heard, I made the announcement at the
top of the hour that I am going to be
running for County Missioner here in Bay County. And of
course doesn't change anything with the show. We're going to
keep doing the show. We'll keep having the Doster Boys
on on the every Friday, and we'll we'll enjoy it

(02:17:10):
and it'll be a good time, you know it. It
would probably be shaking some things up a little bit,
but it's all good because you know, sometimes counties need
that and districts need that. So we're going to see
what we can do and see what we can make
a difference with.

Speaker 2 (02:17:25):
Yeah, And the cool thing is, I'm looking forward to
this conversation. You know, we talk a lot of the times,
the topics we talk about are somewhat theoretical, right, you know,
we're talking about well this this guy in Washington, DC
said something, or somebody in Tallahassee said something. But we're
gonna have We're gonna have real stuff to talk about
because you're gonna be You're going to be dealing with
some of the issues of Bay County, you know, taking

(02:17:46):
positions and and explaining to the people what your approach
would be on various things. So those will be fun
conversations to have, looking forward to hearing what some of
your ideas are. I mean, Bay County is a great
For the longest time, Florida was you know, sleepy North Florida,
and then everything, all the growth and all the development

(02:18:07):
and all that sort of stuff happened. I for Corridor
or South Florida and North Florida kind of got forgotten.
And man, the last at least the last five years
or so, those formulas have changed a little bit. There's
a lot going on in places like Bay County. There's
a lot of growth, there's a lot of challenges. There's
a lot of good stuff going on, but there's also

(02:18:28):
a lot of challenges as well that have to be
dealt with. So you're gonna be right in the middle
of it, and there's makes for some good conversations.

Speaker 1 (02:18:34):
Yeah, that it will. I mean, Bay County is becoming
a very interesting area with all the growth, and with
all the growth comes all the problems, and it's gonna be.
It's gonna be challenging, to say the least, but we're
going to get into it. And of course there's also
a lot of things that will be coming up in
the hopefully in the near future from the state level
that will also affect things on the Bay County level.

(02:18:57):
You know, obviously, right now the state is getting ready
to do the next section session of the legislature, which
is coming up. What January is the next was.

Speaker 2 (02:19:07):
That when it begins exactly, it's a it's an early
session every other year. It rotates these days. So traditionally
the session is March in April, but every other year
now the legislature is doing it January and February, which
just allows them to kind of get the business done
at the beginning of the year and get on with

(02:19:28):
the other activities of the state government. And so, yeah,
it's going to be an early session. There will be
lots and lots up for debate. We keep hearing about
property taxes, we keep hearing about some of the other
issues that are out there. The Trump administration through a
curve ball this week with some announcements about oil drilling,

(02:19:49):
which is always something that Floridians have an interest in
and have a you know, have a have a stake in.
Governor DeSantis made some initial statements to se just that
maybe Florida is not the place to do oil drilling.
It's really an interesting debate because conservatives for the longest
time have been you know, drill, baby, drill, right. We

(02:20:09):
need to depend on our own resources. We need to
stop buying our energy from the Middle East and other
places that maybe don't share all of our interests and
our values. So there is conservatives have tended to be
on the side of, you know, let's use our own
energy resources here. But of course, the specter of a

(02:20:30):
potential oil spill in water it feels different than the
spect of something that might happen on land, right, And
so you know, you kind of push people's buttons and
you find out where they really are, you know, And
it's a complicated issue. I'm not suggesting that there's an
easy answer for it. I think at a minimum, most
Meridians have felt pretty strongly that whatever you do, just

(02:20:52):
don't make sure I can't see it from shore.

Speaker 1 (02:20:55):
Yeah, I mean, we've been big about that. Plus we
also still have a fresh in the mind for those
of us that have been here on the the Gulf coast,
and that is the BP oil spill that happened with
the deep water uh uh drilling and the problems that
that caused. I mean, granted, we we we've kind of
moved on from it, uh you know as far as

(02:21:16):
the environmental here on the on the coast of Florida,
but it is something that we're all still aware of.
I mean, it hit huge financial and economic uh you
know downfalls for for the Panhandle when it happened, and yeah,
so that's obviously something we don't want to have again.
And I mean, of course it also led to the
political fight, which is so stupid sometimes watching it. And

(02:21:38):
that is the the the the the money that got
distributed after that from all and that's still just watching
that political battle back and forth sometimes is enough to
drive you crazy. But there's there's definitely a lot that's
going to be going on in this session. And of course,
the the other thing that you know, as a county
commissioner I would have to deal with will be the
the property tax thing because as we know, property tax

(02:22:01):
As a property owner, I myself, I don't want to
pay taxes on that really don't would rather pay a
lot less, but you know, it is a topic that's
being brought up in Tallahassee whether or not we get
rid of it entirely. And of course some of the
language has changed to reducing it so that it's less.
And then there's the control of the money and what

(02:22:22):
would happen if if all of that money gets into
you know, state areas where they There's a lot going
on with this, and it's a very complicated thing, but
is what is kind of the latest you're hearing when
it comes to this.

Speaker 2 (02:22:33):
Yeah, so this week a lot did happen. This week.
When I say a lot happened, more procedurally, a lot
happened because the Florida House did meet in Tallahassee this
week and Thursday they had the meeting of their Select
Committee on this very issue, on the property tax issue,
and they have seven proposals. We talked about this a

(02:22:53):
little bit. They have seven different proposals that they intend
to send to the ballot for constitutional amendment to basically
let the voters choose which version of property tax relief
or property tax reform would be chosen for Florida. One
of your legislators, Representative Grip Griffiths has one of those

(02:23:14):
seven ideas. His would limit some of the increases on
non school homestead property taxes and on other non homestead
property to just make the increases a little bit more
realistic and manageable. It would almost be like a throttling
or a you know, an increased limitter. There's other ideas

(02:23:37):
that are out there, and they continue to sort of
debate those and tweak those and try to, you know,
advance something that the voters of Florida can get their
arms around, you know what. Some of the people are
still calling for outright appeal. There are forms of legislation
that would get rid of property taxes altogether and move
the revenue collection to other forms of transaction, some sales

(02:24:00):
tax or consumption tax, that sort of thing. Also this week,
Paul Renner, who's one of the candidates for governor on
the Republican side, he had a press conference and kind
of highlighted what his plans would be. He wants to
do an immediate rollback to some earlier levels. And when
you look at the numbers, Brian, I mean, this is
where you can kind of get numbed by all the

(02:24:21):
different ideas and discussions that are out there, but when
you hear these basic numbers, it kind of brings back
the true issue in the focus, which is, over the
four year time period that property taxes have increased forty
to fifty percent in Florida, the revenues have increased forty
to fifty percent in Florida, median income has increased less

(02:24:42):
than ten percent. So even with inflation, even with a
lot of cost of living increases, the outside disproportion increase
of those local government revenues is nuts. And so this
appetite to do something, some sort of limitation or some
sort of rollback or even an elimination and replace it
with something else. You understand why the debate is going on.

(02:25:03):
And I you know, I think in the end it's
not to sound to apple Pie and Mom and Americana
about it. In the end, as long as the voters
get something to vote for, that's really how it ought
to work. Like, let's put this in the hands of
the people, and let's let people decide what they want
to do. And I mean, ultimately to bring it back
to you. Yeah, now you're going to be a candidate

(02:25:23):
for these seats, You've got to have a you've got
to have a stake in the matter, and you've got
to look out for the services that count of governments provide,
but also think big picture about what's the right tax
system to get those revenues in.

Speaker 1 (02:25:36):
Yeah, exactly. And this is one of the things that
I pointed out multiple times when it comes to the
elimination of the property tax, is that you have to
be careful because you know, the property taxes is a
revenue for a lot of the counties and a lot
of the cities to be able to afford things like
fire trucks and ambulances and you know, cop cars and

(02:25:58):
you know, a new bulldoze, or to be able to
repair roads, and it fills a lot of the gaps
of the expenses that are needed to run areas. And
when you have an area, say like Bay County, which
is growing rapidly, there's houses being popped up every week,
and there's another one that just got built like over
the weekend next door to me, you know, and it

(02:26:20):
happens all the time. There's a huge revenue. But what
happens when all of that revenue goes away out of
the county and the city's hands and is now being
put in the States' hands, and you have other areas
that are a little bit smaller that you know, they
rely on that even more because they don't have the
big tourism that we have and everything, and what is

(02:26:42):
that going to do with the redistribution? And of course
there's the danger to down the road because we know
how politics is acting these days. What happens if the
Democrats take control of Florida, you know, and now it's
revenge time because we know that they don't forget, and
they'll think about it going, oh well, Bake County is
a huge Republican area, and we're going to give them

(02:27:02):
less money this time around, and that could be a problem.
So that's why it's so critical for this discussion to
be very well thought out, and not only for the
just the right now, because I think right now the
emotional aspect of it is no property taxes. That's fantastic.
I saw my property tax bill the other day and
I'm like, damn, I would like to not have to

(02:27:23):
pay that. But there is that long term effect of
what do you do down the road, and I really
hope that that is being part of the conversation.

Speaker 2 (02:27:30):
Absolutely absolutely, And I think that you know, you're hitting
the nail on the head there, which is basically there's
I think there's two different debates going on that are
kind of wrapped up in the same issue. One debate
is our local governments. On average, Let's say our local
government's taken in too much money relative to how much
people's income has has increased. And I think a lot

(02:27:53):
of people would say, yes, there's there's too much yep.
And it gets into the particularities. That's how property taxes collected,
which is there's a rate and there's a value to
your property. So you kind of get hit in two
different directions and it's hard to keep track of it.
And so the debate is, on the one hand, a
property tax is the correct model for collecting revenue, and

(02:28:16):
then the other debate is who decides what that revenue
collection is, how much it is, and who controls it.
Everything you just hit on and so I think there
are a lot of people that would say, WHOA, are
you taking away local government revenue. A lot of people
would say no, no, no, I'm not trying to take
away local government revenue. What I'm trying to do is
make the system of taxation more transparent, more predictable, more fair,

(02:28:38):
you know, so on and so forth, and ultimately there's
this kind of moral question of do you want to
be in a situation where if you don't pay your taxes,
you have your property taken away from you? You know,
there's just something kind of big argument that, I mean,
really on American about that.

Speaker 1 (02:28:53):
Exactly. I'm looking out of the corner of my eye
watching some of the chats. I think I've seen that
specific thing in one wording or another pot up several times.
That whole thing is do you really own it if
you've got to continue paying taxes on it? And that's
an emotional aspect of it too.

Speaker 2 (02:29:09):
And I think anytime there's a statewide discussion, there has
to be some recognition that some local governments are better
and worse than others. One of the things I did
like about what Paul Renter rolled out is he does
want this rollback, but he wants it to be proportionate
to what the local governments have done, so, in other words,
kind of punished the bad actors. If you have some

(02:29:30):
that have really gone nuts, yep, maybe their rollback is
a little bit more severe than some other other counties
and local governments that have been more fiscally responsible and
how they've done it. So there's room for all that.
There's a lot of room for debate trying to get
it just right. But there is no doubt that Meridians
want some relief on property taxes.

Speaker 1 (02:29:50):
Oh yeah, absolutely, without without a doubt. And of course
the other thing, and again this goes into the thinking
forward of stuff and how they're going to because here
in Florida, we don't just make a long pass it.
We always have to do constitutional amendments. And that's kind
of the route that they're going with this is that
if you don't get this all right and think it
out correctly of how we're going to make up the

(02:30:11):
revenue that may be lost to do things. Because I
know one of the issues here in Bay County that
we have is and this happens to affect the district
that I'm running for, is that the North Bay County
doesn't have the first responder services that they would really like.
And if you take away the revenue of the property taxes,

(02:30:34):
is this going to be continuing a problem where well,
you know, we're more populated down here, and this is
this is more of the important area and we really
can't afford to get another ambulance or another fire truck
or permanently have somebody stationed up in that area, and
you're just going to have to suffer. So, I mean,
that's that's one of these things where we really truly
have got to think this out with how we're going

(02:30:54):
to replace that revenue. And of course there's also the
make sure you're spending it responsibly aspect and fight, which
as we know some some counties and areas have not
done that.

Speaker 2 (02:31:07):
Absolutely absolutely, And it gets back to one of the
principles that a lot of people have focused on for
a long time, which is that the local government is
so important because it's closest to the people. Unfortunately, we
kind of demonize local government sometimes because there's a few
bad actors and again I won't point too many fingers,

(02:31:28):
but a lot of times there in other parts of
the state that that have the more lefty policies, that
have the more restrictive sort of anti anti human, anti
business type mindsets. Yeah, so we tend to get that
image in our minds that yeah, you want your local
government to represent the people. They're the closest to the people,
they know where the needs are, and you know, if

(02:31:50):
we can get a system that sort of makes sense
and is rational for the whole for the whole state,
you still want your county commissioner in Bay County helping
make the right decisions for your community.

Speaker 1 (02:32:01):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, So that is one fight that we
definitely want to watch and I want them to take
their time on it. I don't want them to rush
into it. I don't want them to feel pressure. Get
it right. What else are we seeing them working on?
And there was this we got to point this out too,
speaking about the people the reducing the age of owning
firearms from twenty one back to eighteen. I saw that

(02:32:23):
as another conversation that's going on.

Speaker 2 (02:32:26):
Yeah, every time there is every time there's a gun debate,
and a lot of times, every time there's some sort
of a tragedy related to shooting, there's always speaking of
rules and laws you know, that are intended to try
to keep those tragedies from happening. This has been sort
of a boomerang issue that's been going back and forth
in the Florida legislature over the years. Pretty Much the

(02:32:49):
conservative argument is, hey, if you can draft me and
you send me off the war if I if I'm
at that level, then I ought to be able to
buy a firearm. Yeah, and you know, it's it's a
throning issue. Some people will point out like, well, kids
are kind of growing up a little bit slower these
days than maybe they did in a few generations ago.

(02:33:10):
Every time I see a sixteen year old driving a car,
I think, wait, is that is that good? Yeah? Right?
Is that the way it is? That the way it's
supposed to work? Although I certainly did it when I
was a sixteen year old, so that's Yeah, that's one
of those debates that's going to kind of wrankle everyone
and be hard to wrestle out. But it is a
boomerang issue that just kind of comes back and forth.

(02:33:32):
You know, where do you put the age? Where do
you put the limits? And the people that are like
really hard for pro Second Amendment pretty much don't want
any limits. So we'll see where that goes.

Speaker 1 (02:33:41):
Yeah, it's going to be one of those things where
it's going to be a hard to win because somebody
is going to be upset by it, and somebody's going
to think it's not enough, and somebody's gonna think it's
it's too much. But we'll say and see what happens
to that.

Speaker 2 (02:33:54):
Yeah, and every everybody will be able to point to
a story that, you know, kind of supports their side
of the argument. So it is one of those issues.
There is an issue I want to put on your radar, man,
and it even plays in a little bit to your
announcement this morning. But there's a pretty interesting piece of
legislation that's starting to get some attention. It's h House
Bill one five Senate Bill five eighty eight, filed by

(02:34:17):
Robbie Brackett in the House and Stan McLean in the Senate.
But it would be a vehicle for individuals, private owners,
businesses to push back against local governments who impose their
rules very arbitrarily. Think code enforcement, certificates of occupancy, those
kinds of things where you have to battle with a

(02:34:38):
bureaucrat to get approved to do something. And basically it
would just try to inject insanity into that where if
you have one of these one of these bureaucrats really
giving you a hard time, you have steps that you
can take to say, basically, look, if there's not a
rule that tells me to have to do this, you
can't just arbitrarily make me do it either. And I

(02:34:59):
think there is a lot of business interests that would
really like this kind of thing to make it and
get the governor's signature. I think it's a pretty interesting idea.

Speaker 1 (02:35:07):
Yeah, that that is interesting. I'll have to look into
a little bit more because I think we all uh,
we've all experienced or we have seen some sort of
a thing when it comes to the code enforcement. You know,
sometimes it's good. You know, sometimes however, it's a little overbound.
And and and we do know that that there's always
those uh, those those people that are in the in

(02:35:29):
those roles of the unelected roles of government where they
they think that they've got more power than its necessary
and they can use that and then sometimes even the
people with the elected roles will we'll wield that power around.
So the idea of putting that in check, that's that's
that's kind of a good idea, I think.

Speaker 2 (02:35:44):
Yeah, it's huge, it's uh, it's you know, and it's
the sort of thing where even if it didn't pass,
just having the conversation could probably yield some pretty good results.

Speaker 1 (02:35:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, without a doubt. What else you got
going up in tallahassee anything else, because I know that
they've better been busy. Is that about it?

Speaker 2 (02:36:01):
Yeah, they've been here. They've been here all week. They're
gone now. The next committee week will be next month,
so they're kind of done for the week. And we
covered a lot of the big issues on our show.
We Are We've got a cool guest. I'm really looking
forward to talking to Simon Hankinson. He's a he's a
research fellow at the Heritage Foundation up in Washington, d C.
But we've been talking about the immigration slash work visa issue. Yeah,

(02:36:26):
the H one B visa thing that's really you know,
rankled a lot of people and a lot of conservatives.

Speaker 1 (02:36:31):
And Donald were talking about the China ones, which that
wrangled a few feathers as well.

Speaker 2 (02:36:37):
Absolutely, it's a thorny issue. You know, I think conservatives
everywhere really want to see Americans doing American jobs. But
sometimes this is one of those issues where the devil's
in the details. And again, like the property taxes, you
kind of got to try to get it just right.
The one size fits all doesn't always work, so interesting
to get into that, and uh, you know, Brian, we've

(02:36:58):
been talking about this, We've been a little bit. But
I think right here, as we're on the show, I
want to invite you to be on the show and
we got to talk about your candidacy. I think it
needs to happen for this week from America in View show.
