Speaker 1 (01:41):
All right, good morning, Merry Christmas, Happy Christmas Eve? Whatever
what do you actually say in Christmas Eve? Because it's
not actually Christmas. I mean it's merry Christmas. Let's leave
it at that. How are you welcome to the show.
Thanks so much for making this part of your day today. Hopefully, Jesus,
what's wrong with the hair today? Hopefully today is a
day that you have off. You're just relaxing, chilling, getting

(02:03):
ready to do some traveling. Travel, by the way, already
hectic and crazy. Last night, just getting into Panama City
was a nightmare. I woke up this morning because I
get these alerts. Whenever anything goes on at the airport,
I get the alerts. There was there was a lot
of diverts. There was diverts. It was apparently the fog

(02:25):
last night was so bad here in Panama City, because
I actually got into the house early last night, and
I wasn't really out that far. I was out enough
to see the fog coming in. But last night it
was bad enough that there was planes that were diverting
to Birmingham and as far away as Miami. I mean,
that's that's pretty bad when your plane's got to get

(02:47):
diverted to Miami when you're trying to get into Panama City.
But yeah, the Christmas holiday traffic it is ramping up.
It's got to be crazy. You know that today there's
gonna be plenty of airline delays. So just if you're
traveling today, be prepared for it. Just relax, realize you'll
get there and be entertained by the Karens that will

(03:09):
lose their mess trying to get where they're going. And
remember it's not the person at the ticket counter's fault,
sometimes just the weather. But either way, a lot of
people will be driving today as well. I think I'm
gonna drive today. I don't know because I've got to
work until six o'clock tonight and then head to Jacksonville.

(03:30):
So I'm not sure if I'm gonna leave tonight or
if I'm gonna do it my normal in the middle
of the night thing. I don't We'll figure it out.
But either way, you get to spend some time with
the family this Christmas, and I hope you get to
as well. A lot of other things going on today
when it comes to Christmas. Let's talk about this and
I love this once again, just people, can you find

(03:51):
something to do with your life other than bitch about
something Just because you don't believe in it, doesn't mean
that you have to get out and bitch about it.
By the way, I also loving the fact we got
the Christmas tree in the studio today, which is kind
of nice. So Christmas this year is on a Thursday,

(04:11):
and you know, Christmas is a federal holiday where everything
federal closes down, all the post office and the government
offices and everything's all shut down. We know this is
going to be the case. It happens every year because
it's just it is what it is. Governor Sarah Sanders
over there in Arkansas has decided that, you know what, hey,

(04:32):
this year, because of the fact that Christmas is on
a Thursday, let's go ahead and give all of our
state workers Friday off so we can have a nice,
long four day holiday weekend, so then people can be
out and just enjoy time with their family. Sounds like
a great idea, doesn't it. And that's what she said.

(04:56):
She said after she did a proclamation that basically just
closed this is the state offices for Christmas, you know.
And the Friday after that, she received a letter from
the Freedom from Religion Foundation, which is a group that
focuses on separation of church and state and calling for
her to reverse the move and claimed it was unconstitutional.

(05:18):
First off, if I was an Arkansas employee, an Arkansas
state employee, regardless to whether or not I celebrated Christmas,
whether a Christmas was my thing or not. And these
jackasses came out and said, no, you should have to
go to work on Friday. You're not gonna score friendship

(05:39):
from me. I'm not going to be like, oh my god,
thank you so much for fighting for us all and
making sure that we are open on the day after
Christmas of Friday, so we could be open for one
day where nobody's want to get some rants ask about
wanting to do any work where nobody's gonna actually go

(06:00):
out to do anything with any of these government agencies
because everybody else on the planet is going to be
on a holiday. But thank you so much. Oh what
would we have done without you for making sure that
we worked one extra day the day after the holiday. Oh,
it's amazing. And it's not like Sarah Sanders came out

(06:22):
and said, listen, it's Christmas and you are going to
celebrate Christmas and if you don't like it, I don't
care because I am the governor of the state and
I'm telling you to celebrate Christmas. No, she said, hey,
we're just going to take an extra day off. The
proclamation that she came out with said that more than

(06:43):
two millennia ago, in a little town of Bethlehem, far
from the centers of power in first century Rome. Jesus Christ,
the Son of God, was born in a humble manger,
whereas Jesus was the Messiah and became a teacher. And
if this is the reason why they're all upset, because
she said, Jesus, at least twice so far in this thing,

(07:06):
became a teacher and a leader. And he would be crucified,
suffer for the sins of all mankind, die and be buried,
and rise again on the third day to sit at
the right hand of the Father. Whereas but on the
first Christmas, Christ's arrival was unassuming, witnessed by only Mary

(07:26):
and Joseph, humble shepherds, guided by angels, and three wise
men from the east. And it goes on and on,
you know, just kind of giving you a little bit
of the story of the crisis. She says, Now, therefore,
I Sucker, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Governor of the State of Arkansas,
by the virtue of the authority vested in me by
the laws of the State of Arkansas, here do proclaim

(07:48):
December twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, is Christmas Day, Holy Cow.
That is, that is true hang on, I just so traumatic.
I don't know if I can continue on to the show.
I don't know if I can continue on my day today?
How dare she proclaim the day that is for how

(08:10):
many millennia now has been Christmas Day? Oh God, what
are we gonna do? And then what else is Sarah
Sanders doing in the state of Arkansas? And in the
order of the state, employees may spend this holiday with
their families and give thanks for Christ's birth. I further
declare the state capital added and as state officials or

(08:30):
state offices to be closed on Friday, December twenty sixth
as well. And you see her for it. You go
after her with a nasty ass little letter demanding that
the governor opened the government on the day after Christmas.

(08:51):
And again, regardless to whether or not you celebrate Christmas,
she's not telling you that you have to do it,
saying that she's gonna keep the offices closed in order
for people to go ahead and celebrate it if they want.
But there's nothing in there that says you shall celebrate it.
You shall whether you are Christian or not, whether it

(09:13):
doesn't matter, You're going to do it. Because I'm the
governor and by the power invested to me, this is
what I'm telling you what to do. No, she's just
saying we're gonna take a day off, and these idiots
from the Freedom from Religion Foundation lose their stuff and say, no,
you can't do that. You can't tell us to take

(09:33):
a day off, which, by the way, none of these
idiots work for the state anyhow, so it's not like
they're getting the day off. It's just so stupid. I mean,
this is the level of what the left gets down to,
where they have to complain about anything in everything as

(09:57):
long as they can play. I don't know what it's
like to wake up in the morning like that and
just be like, I got I gotta be upset about something.
Something's gotta upset me today. What is it? I don't know.
Donald Trump's still alive. Oh my god, we gotta complain
about that. Can we send a letter to somebody who
can do something about that? Well? God, can? Oh my god. No,

(10:20):
get a life, seriously, And it's not like all of
a sudden we're being told that we're gonna celebrate some
obscure holiday for some obscure religion or something. It's a
day off and again, let me ask how many of
you would actually say, oh, you know what Christmas is

(10:45):
on Friday, I gotta go travel to see the family.
I got the family that'll be in town, you know,
and I really I gotta go get my license plates
done on Friday, or I need to go to this
state office on Friday, or just stop got to stop
complaining about the dumb things. And then of course there's

(11:07):
also this one. And I love this because the left
with all the important things that there are to be
done right now, and there's a lot of important things
that need to be done. I mean, let's start with
their number one screaming call that they have all the
time now, and that is healthcare. Healthcare is a very
important thing. Let's work on it. Let's fight to improve healthcare.

(11:32):
Get out there with your plans, your ideas, your suggestions
of how we can improve healthcare. Get out there and
do speeches on the floor. Get out there and talk
with the health industry. Get out there and talk with
the people and find out what it is that's so
bad about the healthcare system, so you know, start working
with the insurance companies, roll up your sleeves, figure it out.

(11:55):
Write a law something, but no, while the left complains
about healthcare and doesn't do anything about healthcare, instead they
melt down over the Kennedy Center. This is something that's
still going on. Democrat Representative Joyce Batty. She is also,

(12:16):
by the way, just for contacts of this, she is
an ex official member. She was on the Kennedy Center's board.
She's no longer on it. She is now suing, arguing
that in her lawsuit that adding Trump's name to the
iconic performance arts center violated federal law. Oh Jesus Christ,

(12:42):
please help us in this day that we celebrate you.
Please just throw us a bone and help us out,
will you please? The Democrat lawmaker who she sits on
the board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts in Washington, sued the Trump administration on Monday

(13:03):
over the recent adding of the president's name to the building.
Representative Baty, who's from Ohio. She's one of the members
of the center's board, and argued that renaming the center
would require an act of Congress since the original name
was established through legislation that was signed into law, and
the suit calls the effort to rename the center more

(13:27):
reminiscent of authoritarian regimes than American Republic. Well, first of
congratulations for calling us a republic. That's gotta be let
me write this one down. Hang on, I gotta, I
gotta put this one down. Congresswoman Beatty, first Democrat on

(13:49):
December what was the December? Was it the twenty second?
I think we'll put it down on to a second
first Democrat to call America a republic. Get that one
down in the notes. We'll celebrate that next year. But
she said that this is a vagrant violation of the
rule of law and it flies in the face of

(14:11):
our constitutional order. Congress intended the Senator to be a
living memorial to President Kennedy and a crown jewel of
the arts for all Americans, irrespective of the party. Okay,
So if it's meant to be the crown jewel of
the arts for the American people and irrespective of the party,

(14:34):
what's the harm in naming it after one person from
one party and one person from the other party. And
is this really the rule of law that you're going
to be even if it is, And to be honest
with you, I haven't even looked up to see if
it is because this whole thing is just fucking ridiculous.

(14:55):
The White House has not actually commented on the lawsuit
yet on this, yes, but the center's board, which by
the way, yes, it was handpicked by Trump, voted last
week to change the institution's name to the Trump Kennedy Center.
A day after the vote, Trump's name was then attached
to the building. All the lefties lost their minds. They

(15:16):
couldn't handle it. The lawsuit also alleges that during the
meeting where the vote took place, which Betty attended virtually
because she couldn't get up and go to it, she
was muted after she identified herself. She repeatedly attempted to
unmute herself, the suit says, but found that she was
unable to do so. You know, I'm just I'm gonna

(15:38):
go out on a limb on this, just because I've
looked into her a little bit. I'm willing to bet
that the rest of the committee silenced you up and
put you on mute because you're an obnoxious hag who
wouldn't shut the hell up so they can get things done.
I'm just gonna throw that out there. If I had
to be a betting man today, that's what I'm going

(16:00):
to bet that they were finally like, will you be quiet?
She repeatedly attempted to unmute herself, she said, and instead
the plaintiff received written notices that she would not be
unmuted and therefore she could not participate in the meeting.
And at the end of the meeting, members of the
board falsely declared that the vote had been unanimous, and

(16:22):
it is clear that nothing could, could, or would change
the defendant's minds, according to the attorneys who wrote for
for the suit. Spokesperson for the Kennedy Center told NBC
News in a statement on Tuesday that the entire board
was invited to attend in person, and the privilege of
listening in on the meeting was granted to all members,

(16:43):
even those who are those without a vote, such as
guess who doesn't have a vote? Yeah, Joyce Batty. She's
a member, but she's not a voting member, so she
doesn't even have a vote. She can just have a voice.
The spokesperson went out to say that those individuals attacking

(17:05):
now sat idle by while America's cultural center slowly crumbled.
Now the bipartisan Trump Kennedy Center is here, for generations
to come. Now, yes, when she points that out, Prior
to Donald Trump changing a lot of things at the
Kennedy Center, it was not doing well financially, it was

(17:26):
not doing well. It wasn't getting the attendance that it
should be getting. Trump took over, and guess what happens
the revenue, the donations, and the attendants through the roof
breaking records. Now, I will admit you are there are
more important things to do today than naming another building

(17:46):
after Trump apps a freaking lootly. Does it change anything?
Does it affect my life? Can I go on knowing
that this building is voted for by the committee named
after Trump Kennedy? Yeah? I could go on. I could
probably even go to Washington, DC right now, walk past
that building, look up and go huh, and keep on walking.

(18:09):
I could probably go to a show at the Trump
Kennedy Center and not really give a rats ass who
it's named after, because we're going to see the show.
It changes absolutely nothing. But these leftists have got to
just whind and complain about anything. Oh God, it's Trump.
They muted me. Yeah, they muted you, probably because they

(18:32):
were getting ready to do the vote, and you're not
a voting member, but she's now asking the federal judge
to declare the name of the center is John F.
Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, it's legal name,
and that any vote to change the name was null
and void without legal effect. Listen, if we're not going
to allow boards to do things, if we're not going

(18:55):
to allow things to be done without the court being
the one to make the decision, we are completely effing
up what this country is. And the Democrats have got
to stop with every time they don't get their way,
every time that their feelings get hurt, that we've got
to go to the court and we've got to sue
over it, because this is the worst thing in the
world ever. What about healthcare?

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Huh?

Speaker 1 (19:20):
What about health care? Let's address healthcare, shall we? In
this Christmas season? This Christmas week, I have a friend
who had to go to get checked at a cancer
center to make sure that her cancer has not come back.
Still waiting on that information to hear. In the meantime,
she's also going off to visit a family member who

(19:40):
also has cancer. Do you think they give a flying
rats ass about whether or not think Kennedy Center is
named after Trump. They don't their concern is healthcare. They're
concerned is their health. And considering the Democrats are out
there complaining about healthcare constantly, are they working on it instead?

(20:01):
This is what we have to deal with. And as
she goes on to say that we have to we
have to the rule of law, and the law is
being violated by changing the name of Trump. How about
the other rule of law, you know, the one where
you're not supposed to come into this country illegally without permission.
What about that rule of law. Why is it that
we can pick and choose what laws we decide that

(20:23):
we're going to defend and enforce. And again, I don't
even know if there is a congressional law that has
been passed by the House, passed by the Senate, signed
by a president that declares that the only way that
you can change the name of the Kennedy Center is
by a congressional activity. And to be honestly, I don't

(20:47):
even care if there is. But we complained about Oh
my god, it's a violation of the law. It's a
name under a building. Yet you allow all of these
illegals to come into our country. It has cost us
hundreds and hundreds of probably into the trillions. At this point,

(21:09):
we have our tax payer dollars, something that you should
be upset about. In Minnesota, eight billion dollars roughly being
blown and wasted and given to terrorist organizations, not given
to the American people. Why aren't you upset about that?
Why aren't you suing the Waltz administration for doing that.

(21:33):
That's eight billion dollars. It's not a name change. It's
money that has been spent that was supposed to go
to feeding hungry children and it didn't go to it,
and you're silent on that. Better yet, you're from Ohio.
Let's talk about Ohio. Let's talk about some of the
the shithole cities that are in Ohio that are run

(21:54):
by Democrats. Why aren't you concerned about those? Why aren't
you concerned about making sure that crime is down in Ohio?
Why don't you focus on that? Instead you focus on
the fact that, oh my god, Donald Trump's name is
on something. I just I can't continue on with life.
It's just so hard. Let's go sue them. Ricky, you're

(22:17):
curious with the race of this person. I take it
you're referring to the the Democrat that is suing take
one guess. It's just ridiculous. I mean, it's just it's
it's absolutely ridiculous to watch this now. Of course, the
other thing that the the left is all upset about

(22:39):
is the uh, the H one B visas. Now, the
H one B visa. You remember, Donald Trump came out
with the Trump Golden Ticket, which made us all make
the jokes of the you know, Willy Walker, the chocolate factory,
and everybody's out trying to find that golden ticket, the
Golden ticket, which again the left not understanding what it's

(23:01):
all about, not really truly understanding the H one B
visa program and what Donald Trump was doing with this
particular golden ticket to be able to come into the country.
It was basically Donald Trump's stepping up the standards and
not just saying hey, randomly anybody. Donald Trump has said that,

(23:25):
you know what we need in this country is we
need investment. We need people who are in another country
who have wealth that will be able to come to
America to invest their wealth into our economy. Now here's
the things that happen when you get the rich people

(23:45):
that come to America invest in the economy they'll start businesses.
When they start a business, and I know this is
going to be a shocked everybody because liberals don't get this,
they will start a business, that business will make money.
Business makes money, it pays taxes. Yeah, but it's the
wealthy they're not going to pay. To know, every business

(24:06):
pays taxes. Even the wealthy pays taxes. Sure, there's ways
that they can get around paying certain taxes, but they
still pay a buttload of taxes. But regardless, even if
the wealthy person who comes and starts a business doesn't
pay taxes himself or herself, the business still is going
to and the business is also going to hire people,

(24:31):
which means people will have jobs. Those people will also
pay taxes, and those people will also go off and
use the money that they have now earned in this
job that a rich person came to America and created,
and they will spend that money in the community. And
then when those people spend their money in the community,

(24:54):
there's pretty much a sales tax everywhere. So there's a
tax that's going to happen. So as much as I
des all the taxes that we have, there is a
reality here to people are gonna get taxed on their income.
They're gonna get taxed when they go buy something. And
when they go buy something, guess what they're doing. They're
buying something from another business that is going to make money,
that's going to hire people. And the people are going

(25:16):
to be able to get a paycheck, and they're gonna
get taxed on the paycheck, and they're gonna take that
paycheck and they're gonna go spend money on things that's
going to be taxed. And holy crap, now we have
taxable income. Now we have money flowing into the coffer
so that you can give billions of dollars to LGBTQ
communities in Somalia where they like to throw them off

(25:36):
the buildings. But we have to complain about it because,
oh my god, Donald Trump is making it. So it's
just gonna be the wealthy coming in. Well, you know what,
here's the thing toomed. When you bring in a multimillionaire
or a billionaire into America, you know who gets to
pay for them? They do? They pay their own way.

(25:58):
They have to pay the one hundred thousand dollars for
the Trump Trump card to get in here, So he's
got to pay that or she's got to pay that.
They're going to pay their own rent, they're going to
buy a home, they're gonna buy all this stuff to them,
and they're going to take care of themselves. They are
also coming into the country with at least the very

(26:21):
least the money to start a business, if not skills.
In addition to that, you get somebody who's living in
a hut someplace that somehow makes it to America and
gets here and has no job skills, has no finances whatsoever,
an inability to take care of them, and who pays
for them. We do. In all honesty, I would much

(26:43):
rather have some rich, millionaire, billionaire whoever from some foreign
country that wants to come to America to invest in
our country over somebody who can't take care of themselves.
That's what I would rather have. Not that I'm not
being compassionate, but offer us something. What skill set do

(27:03):
you have? I mean, can you at the very least
lay tiles, can you clean? Can you make a bed?
Can you wash dishes? I mean, give us a skill
that you can do so that you don't just come
to our country and live off of our tax payer dollars. Now,
the other thing with the the Trump H one B visa,
the one hundred thousand dollars H one B visa that

(27:26):
that he has talked about.

Speaker 8 (27:28):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Now, for those that don't don't fully understand the H
one B visa, the H one B visa is basically
something that is that is set to to have people
come in to to essentially work for businesses. Now, a
lot of businesses have to pay the cost of the visa.

(27:49):
So if I if I want to bring in, you know,
some workers to come in to I don't know, to
help build houses, I have to pay as the employer
portion of the one for that. I mean some employers
will say, hey, I'm going to pay for it, but
we're going to take it out of your paycheck to
build up. But there's been a challenge in federal court

(28:11):
over Trump's one hundred thousand dollars fee, and there's two
groups that have argued that the president lacked the legal
authority to change that fee, and a federal district judge
ruled yesterday that the President does in fact have the
legal authority to raise the fee of the H one
B visas for employees in specialty occupations to one hundred

(28:31):
thousand dollars. Now, before the change, the fee was anywhere
from two to five thousand dollars depending on the size
of the employer. And again, most of the time it's
employees that pay for it. There are some employers that
will pay for it, but either way there'd be a fee.
You don't just go can I have one of those
visas and they go here, just fill this out. Okay,
you got it. There's fees involved. But now what Donald

(28:54):
Trump is doing with the one hundred thousand dollars is
that it's going to be people that are going to
be productive. The Washington based judge, Judge Beryl Howell, issued
the ruling after the plaintiffs, the US Chamber of Corruption Commerce,
and the Association of American Universities sooned to block the policy.

(29:17):
Howell declined to block the policy change granted summary judgment
in favor of the Trump administration. Now, the HOB visa
program allows US employers to temporarily hire foreign workers and
occupations that require the theoretical and practical application of a
body of highly specialized knowledge and a bachelor's degree or

(29:38):
higher in a directly related specific specialty or its equivalent
as a minimum for the entry into the occupation in
the United States, according to the US Citizenship and Immigration
Services web page. Now, Donald Trump talked about this the
other day when he got a bunch of criticism over

(29:58):
the Chinese visas when he said, yeah, I want to
bring some people in from China, and people lost their mind.
But Donald Trump said, I don't want to just bring
people from China. I want to bring the people who
know how to make computer chips. And the reason why
because we don't know how to do it. So I
want to launch our computer chip industry here in America.

(30:20):
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to
bring in these people from China and they're going to
come here. They're going to make a lot of money,
but they're also going to have to pay one hundred
thousand dollars in order to come to America temporarily to
do this work. Yes, make a lot of money, but
they're also going to show us how to do it
so that we can train our workforce to be able

(30:43):
to make chips. And then when the h one V
visa is done, that person goes home. Theoretically, that's how
it works. The specialty occupations, by the way, that are
covered under the program include things like engineering, mathmatics, architecture, medicine,
and health, education, law and accounting. The number of H

(31:08):
one B visas issued annually has also capped at sixty
five thousand, with an addition of twenty thousand for US
advanced degree holders. Trump signed the proclamation back in September,
requiring one hundred thousand dollars fee be paid before the
employer's petition for the new H one B visas are
even processed, and in the proclamation, he said that the

(31:31):
large scale replacement of American workers through systemic abuse of
the program has undermined both our economic and national security.
And what he's talking about is the fact that the
Democrats have worked so hard to just bring in foreign
workers at the lowest possible costs to replace American workers.
And that is what's happened. We've seen that in a

(31:51):
lot of industries. Now, yes, there are some industries where
Americans are not going to want to do the work.
Now I think we should force some people to do
the work. I mean, honestly, do I think it's time
for us to start saying, listen, what job skill set
do you have? I can make a coffee up firebox Okay,
what else can you do? Nothing else? Okay, well guess

(32:11):
what you're going to be doing. That's it. If you
have no other skills, then you're going to end up
having to do a low skilled job until you build
up some skill sets and are able to do more.
And by the way, we're taking away all of your
government funding, so you're gonna have to go and do
some work. But the Democrats and all the left have

(32:35):
abused the H one B visa program and have brought
in people that have literally taken a lot of American jobs.
Sure they may not be the highest paid jobs, but
there are still jobs, and Americans should be getting in
there and doing it. And I do agree that there
are some jobs that we need to bring more people into.

(32:56):
By the way, we actually have more jobs than we
have available workers America. You don't hear that very often
from the left. Hell, you don't even say that from
the right very often because they're afraid to say it
because when you say that, that means you've got to
tell somebody get off your ass and go get a job.
So right now, even if we did give every American

(33:19):
a job, there are still jobs that need to be filled.
So we got to have this program and the idea
of the the one hundred thousand dollars thing. Again, it's
to bring in people that are highly skilled to be
able to teach these things and to get people doing
high levels of production to make America's production great again.

(33:40):
That's what we're working on, and that's what Donald Trump
has been trying to do. And now the court has
ruled in his favor. But the Chamber of Commerce came
out along with the Association of American Universities, and in
their lawsuit, they argue that the implementation of the post
policy change violated the Administrative Procedure Act of nineteen forty six,

(34:05):
which is a law that governs administrative law procedures for
federal executive departments and independent agencies. And Pat mccraran, who's
a Democrat for Nevada, said that the law was a
bill of rights for the hundreds of thousands of Americans
whose affairs are controlled or regulated in one way or
another by agencies of the federal government. And again this

(34:26):
is another example too how much we've got too much government.
But they also argue that the nation benefits from h
one B visa workers who contribute enormously to American productivity, prosperity,
and innovation, and then that they argue that the program
helps universities, hospitals, and companies in manufacturing and science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics deal with domestic labor shortages by creating domestic jobs. Well,

(34:52):
you know what, here's the thing. You have failed to
produce those good people. This is one of the reasons
for why we have craptastic manufacturing in America and why
it's starting to get better. It needs to get better.
It is the same type of people that Donald Trump
wants to bring in, but he wants to bring in
a higher caliber of them, the smarter, the better, the

(35:16):
more talented ones, and not just somebody where you bring
him in and go, hey, can you make a computer
chip the chip? No, you need smart people. And the
left has abuse this and the Chamber of Commerce, by
the way, the National Chamber of Commerce. They're such a
corrupt organization, so they can go blow hard. I mean,

(35:37):
just get out of here. Tired of hearing them complain
about things. I mean, I want to see you guys
actually step up and do more work to make the
American manufacturing and the American employee better. By the way,
Starbucks people still protesting. They're still protesting the union strike

(35:59):
in some location. Jesus, people, you need to you need
to find something better to do, because this is not
working out for you. Really, truly isn't. Yeah, by the way,
we'll get into the Supreme Court with the National Guard
thing as well, some more of the suit. Why the
hell's romance? Con turn phone? Sorry, I've got oh the

(36:20):
stupid things with these phones. It's just turn. I don't
want you on the I'm trying to just find something
on a phone, but I can't. There we go, fucking
stupid thing. I swear to God, right, sorry, the complications
I have in my life. I was looking for something.
I was gonna play it, but now I'm gonna just
take a break and we'll play that in a second.
We do have a lot more to talk about. Merry Christmas.
I hope you're having a great day today. I hope

(36:41):
you have the day off as well. We'll be right back.
This is the Brian Rush Show. Good morning, all right,
welcome back to you know what today, I can't call

(37:03):
it weener Wednesday.

Speaker 5 (37:05):
Let's call it.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Let we call it today, so it's not weirder Wednesday
than day before Christmas. Wild Wednesday. Wild Wednesday kind of
works because there's some stupidity out there again in the left.
I know this is a this is a shock to
everybody that there'd be any stupidity in the left, but yeah,
they are. Can we go to Boston for a second.

(37:26):
Let's hear from Michelle Woo of this egghead.

Speaker 9 (37:30):
Cannot talk about any achievement that the city of Boston
has had in safety, jobs and economic development, in education
without talking about the Somali community that has lifted our
city up. We are proud and we are grateful for
our Somali community and for our Somali American neighbors. Boston
and the country are clear that hate has no place

(37:50):
in our society. We will use every attack to actually
strengthen and expand the services available to empower and work
a lot onside our community members who are already doing
so much good in the world and set an example
for the rest of the country.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
That was Michelle wou, the mayor of Boston, talking about how,
oh my god, we can't talk about anything unless we
include the Somalis. We got to include the Somalis. I've
asked this question multiple times still can't find an answer
to this. What the hell of the Somalians done in America?

(38:32):
Give me some examples. You sit here and you tell us,
and you lecture us over and over again about how,
oh my god, the Somalis. We can't talk about community
without Somalis, We can't talk about the achievements of community
without the Somalies.

Speaker 10 (38:48):
I was completely unaware, completely unaware that America would not
be the nation that we are, We would not be
in the place that we are right now if it
wasn't for the Somalis.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
I mean, did you guys know, seriously, did you understand
the importance of the Somali community and and how they
have contributed so much to well everything. I can't give
you any specific examples, but they've contributed to everything. And
there's not a thing about your community, no matter where

(39:24):
you are in America that we can't have to we
we we have to thank the Somalis because the Somalis
they're because we with the Somalis are great people and
they're with the community. We can't with the parts of

(39:46):
it and and the stuff. Shut the fuck up, Just
shut up about the Somalis. Okay, Now, are there good Somalis. Sure,
absolutely there's some good Somalians somewhere having yet. But I'm
just I'm trying to be optimistic. I'm trying to be positive.
It's Christmas, for crying out loud, so I'm trying to
be positive here. But if communities like Boston where right now,

(40:13):
I'd love to know what the Irish community in Boston
has to say when their Asian mayor comes out and
talks about how Somalians are the reason for Boston being successful,
because I don't know if you know this too much,
but the city of Boston would not be the City
of Boston if it wasn't for the Irish community, the

(40:36):
Irish community that has done so much in the city
of Boston, but now apparently they mean nothing. The Italians
that also came to the Boston. There's a big Boston
Italian and Irish communities. You guys did nothing, absolutely nothing
to contribute to Boston's success. But when we he brought

(41:00):
people from Somalia, you know that hell whole country in
the desert where they attack each other and they rape
each other, and the amount of incest is the highest
in the world right there in Somalia. And of course
all of the problems that happened. Hey, look at me,
I'm the cantinant with the contain where's my thinker? They

(41:22):
are the ones, they're the only people that have led
to the actionable success of Boston, Massachusetts, and the rest
of this country. Minnesota, by the way, don't you know
wouldn't be Minnesota if it wasn't for the Somalians. I
mean yeah, I mean, come on, none of these leftist

(41:47):
idiots can actually give us examples of what these Somalians
have done in the in the communities. And then you've
the mayor of Minneapolis. I gotta play this dip wad
for you as well. This guy but an idiot.

Speaker 11 (42:07):
I am increasingly concerned because of the chaos that is
being caused by these ICE agents, that somebody is gonna
get seriously injured or killed. Somebody is gonna get seriously
injured or killed. And whether that is an ICE agent
or a community member, we all know the tinderbox that

(42:30):
could explode because of it. We all know that the
federal government is looking for reasons to deploy more and
more people to Minneapolis and blue cities around the country.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
We all know that.

Speaker 11 (42:46):
We cannot afford to lose a single Minneapolis resident because
they showed up and decided to protect their neighbors, because
they showed up and decided to express their constitutional right
to free speech. And so that concern is deep. It
is held, by the way, not just by me and
our residents, presidents and the people who are standing up

(43:09):
behind me. The concern about it and somebody killed is
also held by our police.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
God, there's on there's so much stupid I can put
up with them. One day, that was the mayor of Minneapolis.
Somebody's gonna get hurt. Somebody's gonna get hurt. Yeah, that is.
Let's let's start with Jesus. Let's start with the reason
for why ICE agents had to come to your city.

(43:36):
ICE agents had to come to your city because there
is a violent crime issue with the illegals that have
illegally breaking the law. You know, didn't it didn't didn't
live by the rule of law like you like to
say all the time, came to your city. Has caused problems,
and you weren't doing a thing about it. Instead, you

(43:58):
were feeding them, how they loathing them, defending them as
they go off and commit crimes against your citizens that
you know elected you into office to protect them and
do the bidding of them. So they come in there
to get rid of those people, to make your city safer.
Donald Trump has come into these blue cities and blue

(44:19):
states with the goal of making your city safe. What
part of this joghead do you not understand? Donald Trump
didn't have to do that. Donald Trump could have very
easily looked at all these blue cities and just said, Okay,
this is what we're going to do. We're not going
to give them any federal funding because they're spending it

(44:41):
all on illegals. We are not going to go in
there and help them out when their police departments are
overrun with crime. We're not going to go into these
cities when these citizens and the residents of these cities
start screaming for help because their daughters are being raped
and murdered. Because of the fact that there are drunk

(45:02):
drivers that are all over the place creating havoc in
the city, the fact that our stores and our shops
are getting raided by these people and things being stolen,
We're not gonna do a thing about it. Sorry, Blue cities,
Blue states, you're on your own. Good luck. I'm gonna
spend all of this time on making red cities and
red states more successful. As a matter of fact, we're

(45:27):
gonna focus on bringing all of our manufacturing to red
cities and red states instead, which, by the way, the
majority of our manufacturing in this country is in blue
cities and blue states. If Donald Trump just said screw it,
We're done with you guys, you're on your own, you
know that they would collapse in no time flat. The

(45:49):
crime rates would be through the roof, The people would
be upset. And what are we doing. We send troops
in there, whether it be National Guard or ice or
whatever it might be. We send them in there to
get rid of these bad people so that your lives
can be better. And you complain about it, and who
is it that's causing the problems, because remember from the

(46:11):
very get go, at the start of all of this,
Donald Trump, Tom Holman, they came out and they repeatedly said, listen,
we want to get the bad guys out of this country.
We want to get the bad guys out of your city.
You let us know when you've got a bad guy,
we will come in and we will go to the

(46:31):
jail and we will pick up that bad guy and
we will take that bad guy away for you, no charge.
We got it. All you had to do is make
a phone call. Hey Ice, Yeah, I got a bad guy.
You want to come get him? Okay, beautiful, he'll be
in cell block three. Okay, thanks, on our way. And instead,
you created this shit show in your towns. You created

(46:53):
the mess where you let these citizens and by the way,
most of the time when these protests happen in these cities,
they're not even resident and that city they're busting them in,
they're paying them to come in and do this, and
they come in, they throw rocks and things at the
ICE agents who are now having to go out and

(47:13):
find these violent criminals to make your blue city safer. Wow.
I don't understand how this concept escapes these blue idiots.
And yet you have the balls, which I'm probably probably
about that big, to go out and to cameras in
front of the American people and the people of your

(47:33):
city and say, well, it's the ICE agents that are
doing all this dangerous stuff and it's Donald Trump that's
doing it. I want to see that dipshit mayor actually
go to the home of a grieving parent when their
daughter has been viciously raped murdered, beaten up in the

(47:55):
streets or whatever, and just look at them in their
eye and say, while I'm here to help you out,
we block the Ice agents from taking those people out
of our city. Think about it now, that criminal is
here to be able to spend time with their family.
I know your daughter's dead, or I know that your
daughter is now traumatically effed up for many many years

(48:17):
to come, if not for the rest of her life
because of the brutal raping that she just had. But hey,
let's look at this on the bright side. At least
that illegal is going to go home to his family
tonight with all the stolen goods that he has and
probably beat and rape his wife too. But look, we
got to look at the bright side. I just don't

(48:43):
understand how the Left is this stupid. I really don't.
I don't understand how they are this stupid. And again,
education is one of the keys to really winning this over.
And this is where again the Republican Party is failing.

(49:05):
I know. I talk about the messaging all the time
because it is so important. This is one of those
things where the Republican Party should be messaging and do
it via social media because it's one of the most
effective ways of doing it right now in these days.
But get out there and message to places like Minnesota,

(49:25):
as right now the headlines are the Minnesota mayor coming
out and defending the protesters and everything else. This is
the time where you get out there and you show
the videos, you show the cases of all of these
illegals that have been doing all these things, and then
you show your Democrat leaders defending them and not. You

(49:49):
believe me, That point will get home when you start
talking about the fact that your Democrat leaders are defending
the illegals in the city, the ones that are raping
your children, the ones that are beating up Grandma, the
one that carjacked mom this morning on our way into work.
They're defending them, but not you believe me, the tides

(50:09):
will turn. It will be such a red wave that
you would have thought that Moses himself came out and
said part the seas and the biggest wave you could imagine.
People will not put up with that if they are
educated a little bit more. And this is again where
the Republican Party continues to fail. You don't always have
to get out there and talk about policy. You could

(50:31):
talk about what the Democrats are effing up and you
hit people in the emotional area where it does. And
if I had a daughter who was raped, that was murdered,
was beaten up, carjacked, or at least her purse was stolen,
and it was done by an illegal, believe me, the

(50:52):
emotion that I'm going to be having probably would be
a reason to lock some things up. Take keyway from
me for a second, but I would be upset. And
if you come out and remind me of who's responsible
for it, I'm gonna be even more upset. And the
idea that you're gonna get my support, hell no, I

(51:12):
want somebody who's gonna make sure that the next time
my daughter leaves the house that she's gonna lead the
house and come back safe with her purse, with her
body intact. And the Republican Party again forgets this message.
They're too weak to get out and do it. And again,
I would love to have a conversation Joe Gruder's. He

(51:33):
might not like me afterwards, but I would love to
have it with him. I would love to tell him
stop being a pussy and get out there and actually
message this stuff and say it. Stop playing the high road,
and again, regardless to what any Republican comes out and says,
regardless of what even Donald Trump would come out and say,

(51:53):
which I don't think he would do it. But let's
just throw it to the top and say Donald Trump
comes out and tells Joe Gruder, don't do that mess.

Speaker 3 (51:59):
Do it.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Your job is to get more Republicans elected. And the
place that you can go get more Republicans is where
there's already Democrats who are upset with life and don't
realize that there's another option out there for you other
than these dipshits that we have for Democrats. That's what
we got it do. And of course then we also

(52:21):
have the situation with the National Guard, with Donald Trump
wanting to get National Guard into areas which he shouldn't
have to do. By the way, that is something that
Donald Trump should not have to do it, but he
does because of these blue cities, because they have created
the problem so bad, it's what he has to do.
But now Scotis has dropped a little bit of a

(52:43):
defeat on the Trump administration where they handed Trump and
the White House are brutal ruling regarding the deployment of
National Guard to Chicago, saying that they can't be mobilized
at least for now, which that's an important part of this.
You know, while the left is going to be cheering
on the fact that SCOTUS has stopped Donald Trump from

(53:05):
deploying National Guard to Chicago, they emphasized in their ruling
for now, which means they can still open it up
to be able to do it. But the Supreme Court
yesterday said that it would not allow President Trump to
deploy the National Guard to Chicago area for now. The
president's ability to federalize the National Guard likely only applies

(53:28):
exceptionally with exceptional circumstances, and at this preliminary stage, the
government has failed to identify a source of authority that
would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois.
So they didn't shut it down completely. It's just one
of those for right now, hold on for second. Now,

(53:51):
give me a better reason, and then you can do it. Which,
by the way, you know that whenever this happens, we
have to have lawyers that go into the Scotis, sit
in front of Scotis and make an argument. I'm just
gonna throw this out here, Pambondy or better yet, Trump,

(54:11):
if you keep losing in these rulings. It means you're
sending the wrong lawyers in there. Get better, stronger, smarter
lawyers to get in there and fight for us. These
people that go in there and they continuously lose these things,
it makes me wonder are they really truly trying. Are

(54:32):
they capable of going in front of scotus and making
this argument because some of the simplest arguments seem to
keep losing in front of these judges, whether it be
Scotis or district judge. We need to step it up.
We need to get the best of the best in
there to start doing this job, and not just some
first year law student who's coming out and going, hang on,

(54:53):
a second judge, I've got there's got to be something
in here for me to be able to say, I
don't know what I'm doing. Let me chat GPT this
and figure it out, which, by the way, chat GPT
could probably actually give a better argument than some of
these lawyers are doing. But we have to do better
because there's plenty of reasons. And again, the message when

(55:16):
you have people like fat ass in Illinois Pricksker that's
out there saying no, we can't have law enforcement come
in and enforce the laws that are not being enforced
and stopping the people from being injured and killed and
heard in my town. We got to stop that, get
out there and let the people understand where it's coming from,
because the message that they are hearing is not just

(55:39):
simply there's nothing going on, not that you know, Oh,
it's just Donald Trump. They are being bombarded with Donald
Trump as a bad guy. Donald Trump is sending the
military into our city to take over our city, and
Donald Trump doesn't care. And Donald Trump is coming after you,
and Donald Trump he wants the military, and you're so
to give me a tyrant and a dictator. Where's the

(56:02):
counter message? Where's the counter message? Of fat ass drooling
with cake falling out of his face, sitting there telling
the people that I don't want the president of the
United States to bring in protection to save your lives. Instead,
I would rather protect the criminals who are hurting your

(56:23):
everyday life. Where's that message, Joe Gruder's where's that message?
You know, it takes no time at all. Within an
hour's time period, you can edit a video fifteen second
thirty second video and you can post it. Whether you

(56:44):
just simply post it to your social media and let
people you know just share it like crazy, or you
post it to your social media, you go into your
account settings for your paid account because you know this
is how you do it, and you say, okay, I
want to send this message to all of Chicago. So
that way, everybody that opens up their app in Chicago,

(57:06):
whether it's in Instagram or Facebook or whatever it is,
they're gonna start seeing that video because the algorithm is
going to be targeting them because you're paying for it.
That's how it works. It's called geo marketing. Do it.
It takes no time at all, It hardly takes any
money at all, and the message can help save America.
But instead, what we're allowing is people like Pritsker, like Brandon,

(57:32):
like Michelle wou and Governor Healey and all these others
to win the message that Oh my god, you don't understand.
It's emotional. Look at these people, these poor innocent people.
They're just coming here to make a better life for themselves,
and we've got to defend them. I know they just
raped your daughter, but it's okay, it's okay, your daughter

(57:53):
will be fine. We're gonna send social workers to help her,
because that's what we do. It's gotta be righty here.
That's so much counter the damn message. Start to speak up.
We gotta take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Good morning.

Merry Christmas. Let even say it, happy Holidays. It's merry Christmas.
If you don't want to get it too bad, sit down,
just say it. Uh no no no no no no
no no no no no no no no no. Yeah.
D boy, did see that you ordered some of the
cinnamon coffee for your daughter? That is awesome. I hope
she enjoys that. By the way, uh, last day today

(01:00:52):
you get that that fifteen percent off of the of
the knock it off coffee before that that discount ends
to take advantage of that. So sanctuary cities, oh god,
these places, it's just, oh my god, it's Donald Chomps's fault.
Is it really? Sanctuary city releases some criminal illegal aliens

(01:01:13):
allegedly then murders somebody the next day. How many times
have we heard this story? By the way, this is
not a repeat of this story. This is another story
of the same type of thing. Todd Lyons was questioned
about the release of a twenty three year old illegal
alien with a lengthy criminal record who was later arrested

(01:01:36):
for murder. The suspect was identified as Marvin Morales Ortes,
an illegal alien from El Salvador, and this news reporter
ended up detailing the sequence events that led to his
release and the subsequent rearrest the illegal immigrant twenty three

(01:01:59):
year old man Marvin Morales Ortiz. This is the one
from El Salvador. He was in custody on Tuesday of
malicious wounding and brandishing firearms, but then local police released him,
and then there is a young man the next day
on Wednesday, there's a murder scene and they arrest him again.

(01:02:22):
The anchor ended up asking and said that Morales Ortes
had an extensive criminal history and was released shortly before
connected to another violent crime. The anchor asked Todd, the
head of ICE, He's got a lengthy record, at least
seven crimes he's accused of, and then he's released within

(01:02:43):
hours before you know, officials say he got caught up
in this mess again. The anchor went on to cide
a statement from the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office which placed
responsibility on ICE for not taking further action to keep
Morales in custody. And they said that this is he said.
This is a quote from the fair Fact County Shares's Office.
This is what they're telling us. In the instance, Ice

(01:03:06):
was aware of morales or tests in uh test, the
the the the incarceration, the carter in Jesus do any
of the words in here at the same time basically
saying that it wasn't us, it was Ice that didn't
come to get them. Because Ice didn't come to get
this guy that has been arrested multiple times, that he

(01:03:29):
went out and killed somebody again, Sanctuary cities. These are
the policies. Now. Remember the thing that Trump and and
Tom Holman said for the beginning was you arrest them,
you let us know, we'll come get them. You can

(01:03:50):
hold them for a little bit. If you've got somebody
that has got an ICE detainer, you can hang on
to them for a little bit. If if you call Ice,
I'm I'm sure that Ice is not going to be like,
oh well, you know, we don't really want it. That's
their mission. They're doing it, and hang on to them,
as simple as that. If they can't get it intil Tuesday,

(01:04:11):
you hang on to that person who is here illegally
in this country, and then you turn them over. But
instead we have yet another person who is dead, another
family this Christmas who is not celebrating Christmas with a
family member because an illegal alien who has been committing
crime after crime after crime is released again and allowed

(01:04:35):
to commit a murder. I don't know what else it's
going to take for these people to understand the severity
of the stupidity of being a sanctuary city. Now again,
I've said this before, I'll say it again. When it
comes to the family that is here being productive in America,

(01:05:00):
not committing additional crimes other than the coming here illegally,
and they're just trying to make a better life. I
can understand the defending them. I can understand the going
out and trying to say these people want to be American,
they want to be a better part of our society.
They're being a productive part of our society. They're not
committing crimes. Let's do something for them. I can understand

(01:05:22):
that argument. And I'll have that argument with you all
day long. Okay, let's figure it out. What can we do,
how can we make it work. But when you defend
the ones that are the criminals, this is something blows
my mind. I don't get it. And then you get
the leftists that don't ever want to give Donald Trump
any credit. Right now, as we are looking at the economy,

(01:05:46):
the Trump economy. That is. Remember, it's destroying everything. It's
ruining everything that Joe Biden and the Biden administration has accomplished.
That things are bad. I'm still trying to figure out
where things are bad. But they're bad because this is
what we're told. However, when you look at this now,

(01:06:09):
remember people that do the investments, the big time investments,
they don't do it unless they know something. Let's give
an example, gas stations. I said this yesterday about how
it takes a couple of million dollars to build a
gas station because there are so much environmental things and

(01:06:30):
all these things that you have to go through and
it's just ridiculous to build a gas station. So it
takes a couple of million dollars to build a gas
station for those And I'm only going to make the
distinction here in the Bay County area because this is
where I am right now, the Bay County, Florida area.

(01:06:50):
And I've seen it in other places, and I'm sure
you've seen it. How many damn gas stations have popped
up in the past few years, Like I think here
in Bay County were finally starting to slow down on
the production of gas stations because well, there's no more
corners left to be able to build a gas station,
so they're slowing down on how many they put up.

(01:07:11):
But as we are being told over and over again
of climate change and oh, we got to go electric cars,
and we're gonna we're gonna do these mandates for electric cars,
and by the by twenty thirty, everybody's going to drive
an electric car because the gas cars are bad and
you can't do it.

Speaker 5 (01:07:28):
And yet.

Speaker 1 (01:07:31):
You have people and banks specifically that are that are
giving money and spending money to build a gas station. Now,
why would you do that? Why would you do that
in the face of everybody's got to have an electric car?
Maybe just throwing this out here, maybe it's because of
the fact that they know that the electric car thing

(01:07:53):
is going to fail and that it's not going to
be what the Democrats want. Then this whole global warming,
climate change, whatever you want to call it today is
kind of a farce. And the reality is we need
some gas stations because hey, I'm gonna say, let me
look at some statistics here. Okay, about one percent of

(01:08:15):
the cars being built or electric, so about ninety nine percent, Okay,
so yeah, that makes sense. Let's go build some more
gas stations. Same thing with retail, because remember, our economy
is collapsing. That's the This is the important thing. You
got to remember. The economy is collapsing and it's all
Donald Jump's fault. It's so bad. Retail investments right now

(01:08:37):
are soaring. And what does that mean. Well, the retail
trading essentially accounted for twenty to twenty five percent of
the total activity this year according to data that is
coming out of JP Morgan. That means twenty twenty five
percent of the investing that's been going on has been
going into retail stuff. And by the way, when I

(01:08:58):
say investing, I don't mean that you're going to Target
to buy another shirt now. I'm talking about the people
that are investing into retail outlets. This year marked he
had another near year with the retail investors have joined
Wall Street in droves and shaped the short and long
term direction of the asset pricing and the economy. People

(01:09:19):
are not going to invest in retail stores if the
economy is collapsing. They're just not going to do it.
Because when you invest in something, you want money given
back to you. That's what you want so if you're investing,
and if twenty twenty five percent of the investments are

(01:09:39):
going into retail, then it's a pretty good thing. According
to some of the analysis, JP Morgan said, the retail
investors moved three hundred billion dollars to Wall Street in
twenty twenty five, which is up from the one hundred
and ninety seven billion last year. This figure exceeds the
previous peak by about two one hundred and seventy billion

(01:10:01):
dollars during the twenty twenty one retail trading surge. Meanwhile,
the retail trading accounted for twenty to twenty five percent
of the total trading activity this year, peaking at a
record high of about thirty five percent in April. Back
in April, you know when Donald Trump started destroying the economy, right,

(01:10:22):
these shifts in the retail investing now is showing that
the economy is a whole lot stronger than the Democrats
like to make it out to be. By the way,
some numbers that I just saw when it comes to
retail spending this year, retail spending this year at this
point looks like it is going to exceed a trillion

(01:10:43):
dollars this year in the US record breaking numbers. Now,
I may not be a mathematician, but I'm pretty sure
that if you are doing record spending, that you're doing
record investing. Min's I'm gonna guess that the economy is

(01:11:05):
doing okay throwing that out there, Oh he needs some
more numbers, Dems. Sure, we'll give it to you. The
Trump boom, as it's now being called, where the US
economy has now grown four point three percent faster in
two years, smashing the expectations. But then again, I forgot
Hang on a second, am I bad. I don't know
why I was doing it this way. It was all

(01:11:27):
Joe Biden's credit. Because Joe Biden, in his amazing ability
to raise the inflation to a forty year high, he's
the cause of this. He is the reason why he
has set up Donald Trump for the success of a
booming economy. So we'll just get that talking point out
of the way now, so that we get that there,

(01:11:49):
because you know that's what it's gonna say. Oh my god,
the only reason why Trump's economy is doing good is
because because Joe Biden set it up. Hmm, okay, But
the US economy grew this summer at a faster pace
in two years than the economists actually forecasted it to be.
The e Commerce Department said that the US Gross domestic Product,

(01:12:10):
the government's official economic scorecard, rose at a seasonally and
inflated to justin four point three percent annual rate in
the third quarter, and the report on July through September
period was delayed, of course because of the shutdown, but
saying that today's blockbuster expectations smashing GDP report is the
latest proof that President Trump's America First trade and economic

(01:12:32):
agenda continues to turn the page on the Biden economic disaster.
American consumers are spending and the American exports are surging.
This coming from the White House spokesperson Kushtanisi. President Trump
built the greatest economy in the world in his first term,
and he's in the process of doing it all over again.

(01:12:54):
And Americans can count on benefiting from a historic economic
boom in twenty twenty six and grow. Domestic product is
a broad measure of all the goods and services that
are produced across our economy, and it rows higher than
they expected. The prior inflation adjustment, the economy grew at
about eight point two percent rate. Trump is being successful. Now,

(01:13:18):
skirt hit the brakes. What's coming next? News from the
World Health Organization? I know who would have saw this coming?

Speaker 13 (01:13:27):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
Trump's economy is booming, he's getting production back up. Everything
is starting to go great.

Speaker 8 (01:13:33):
What do you need?

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
You need another pandemic? And the World Health Organization is
coming out and being like, hey, guys, just wanna just
gonna throw this on the radar for you a little bit.

Speaker 9 (01:13:44):
But there's.

Speaker 13 (01:13:46):
There's a little bit of a flu issue that's going
on around the world. It's a big one, and you know,
just want to let you know you might want to
for Christmas get.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
Some of those masks that don't do anything and double
up on the shots because economy's doing well and we
need to stop it. So there's a big pandemic coming.
Swear to God, if during the summertime of this coming
twenty twenty six, or as we enter the fall, if
the World Health Organization all of a sudden comes out

(01:14:21):
and is like, oh, we've got another pandemic. I'm going
to track somebody down punch him in the throat. I
really am. I'm going to track somebody down and punch
him in the throat, because you know, that this is
going to come, they're going to try and do this.
But then again, may also be a situation of boy
who Cried Wolf. How many Democrats are really going to
be willing to go through another pandemic shutdown that we

(01:14:44):
saw before, only to come out of it and be
like nothing, We're all good, everything's fine, it's coming. By
the way, anybody see the big fire in China. There's
a medical lab that caught on fire in China. Saw
the video on this last night, and it's a big

(01:15:05):
old fire again. Things that just make you go hmm.
But our economy is thriving. The numbers they don't lie
unless you use the wrong ones. But the numbers are there.
The inflation rate, you know, is up just slightly slightly.

(01:15:26):
But the spending through the roof, investing through the roof.
We have more people wanting to come to America to
invest in America, more than we've ever had. But let's
keep things into perspective. The things that are more important.
We have to stop Donald Trump from building a ballroom
to entertain world leaders and future presidents from entertaining world leaders.

(01:15:47):
Got to stop that at all costs. How dare he
do that? We also have to make sure that we
fight to take his name off the Kennedy Center. That
is more important than anything else. And we also have
to stop Donald Trump from bringing in the National Guard
and enforcing the law and making blue cities safer. We
got to stop that. Those have got to be our priorities.

(01:16:08):
Don't talk about all this good stuff with the economy
booming and people getting jobs and people spending money and
people making money and that type of stuff, and the
fact that policies are starting to make it so that
things will be cheaper, We're working on getting the food
prices down, and we got to worry about the important things.
And those important things are getting Trump's name off that center,

(01:16:29):
because it's just it's breaking the law, and we have
to have rule of law in this country. And if
we can't have the rule of law and making sure
that Trump doesn't put his name on a building, we're
going to lose this republic. It's just that simple. And
I don't know what we would do if it wasn't
for the Democrats to be out there to remind us
on a daily basis of this type of stuff. I

(01:16:52):
feel better knowing it, I really do. And with that,
we need a break. All right, welcome back to the show.

(01:17:17):
Merry Christmas. Hope you're having a fantastic day today. I
hope you got the day off today. Also, hope that
you got all of your Christmas shopping done and wrapped
so you can relax. Nice glass of eggnog with some
rum all up in that ah. And you're also getting
to spend some time with a family, even if you're

(01:17:37):
in Arkansas. I hope you're able to spend some time
with your family on Friday, despite the fact that the
Freedom from Religion group wants you to go back to
work if you're a state employee. Idiots, just stop for
crying aloud. So this didn't take very long. I mean,
not that this is going to be a surprise to
really anybody, but I'm gonna gonna say anyhow, you remember

(01:18:01):
Rosie O. Donald came out and said that they're gonna
do the presidential blackout. We're gonna do our presidential blackout.
I'm gonna I'm gonna stop talking about Donald Trump because
Donald Trump makes me cry, he makes my feelings hurt. Well,
Rosie o'donnald now has had another meltdown after Trump's name
got added to the Kennedy Center and because of that,

(01:18:24):
he needs to be even removed from office. Rosie o'donald,
who you know, as we know, she fled the US
because I get to take it. I gotta get out
of this country because Donald Jump it's horrible. I'm going
to Ireland and she's been basically shouting her abuse ever
since she left there, and she continually argues about Donald Trump,

(01:18:46):
complains about Donald Trump. She told her two point nine
million TikTok followers that Trump now has a fresh dehumanizing monarchy,
a moniker. In the wake of the Kennedy Center board
voting to rename the venue, She's now taking aim with
her choice of words on TikTok, and Rosie titled her

(01:19:09):
Saturday Night Rumble and began by addressing her Christmas celebrations
with their family and friends. I can't imagine she's got friends.
I mean, who would want to be around that nutbag? Like,
even if you hated Donald Trump, and if you didn't
like Donald Trump, I can't imagine going, yeah, I want
to go hang out with Rosie because she is batshit crazy.

(01:19:32):
I mean, there is absolutely nothing about that woman that
makes me go, oh, I want to hang out with
her again. No matter how anti Donald Trump I could
ever possibly be, I could never imagine wanting to hang
out with Rosie a donnad because she's not crazy. But
she began her ramble addressing her Christmas celebrations with the

(01:19:54):
family and how she coped having five kids under thirteen
in her house horrible for with all of her money.
She quickly embraced her favorite topic of Trump, and then
she went on to to basically, uh, refuse to call
him by his name, which I love that when the
leftists do that. They hate him so much to like
the guy, that orange guy. Oh they him. It's just

(01:20:18):
say it for Kredel. Rosie needs to have a food blackout,
you know what. Actually, Jeff, to be honest with you,
and props to her on this, she's lost a lot
of weight, but I think she's lost a lot of
weight because of her mental health. Has just gone to
the turds. But she, rather than calling him his name,
she called him it.

Speaker 6 (01:20:39):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
I don't know if you remember this, but anytime that
we would call somebody who is transgender and it, oh
my god, you should be canceled cultured. You're the meanest
person in the world. I'll give you say that they've
got feelings, are they they? No, it's he? You sure,
it's a heat Now it's she, it's they thy it,
it's it now, it's not it. But it's okay to

(01:21:00):
call Donald Trump that. But she said the Kennedy Center debacle,
it has gone too far, because this is ruining our country.
I mean, I don't know if you guys are aware.
And I really hope, I hope that all of you
guys understand the severity of changing the name of the
Kennedy Center and how bad this is gonna damage our nation.
You're gonna wake up tomorrow thinking it's Christmas Morning in America,

(01:21:22):
but it's not. It's gonna be over. It's gonna be disastrous.
There'll be hungry kids in the street, There'll be nuclear
bombs blowing up everywhere, will be invaded by Canada and Mexico.
And it's all because of the fact of this debacle
that happened with the Kennedy Center put Trump's name on

(01:21:43):
the building. Our entire country is over. What are we
gonna do? That's a hard time say that with a
straight face. But she said it's gone too far, and
it's seriously unwell and it needs to be removed from office.
Donald Trump needs to now be removed from office because
they named the Kennedy Center. I just, oh, how do

(01:22:09):
you just a pure physics thing, how do you how
do you manage to get your head so far up
your ass that it disappears? I'm just I mean, first off,
I know that they say that I'm not even gonna
get into that. That's wrong. The knowledge that I have
on stupid things. They say that you can that it.

(01:22:30):
But still, how do you get your head that far
up in there? I don't I don't understand how you
can do it. But apparently Rosie is an example of
how what happens. But she says that it needs to
be removed from office. It the nameless blob of negative energy.
It the the nameless blob of negative energy. Now I'm

(01:22:57):
kind of curious on this, but if Donald Trump.

Speaker 13 (01:23:05):
Is a.

Speaker 1 (01:23:07):
Negative blob of energy, a nameless blob of negative energy,
energy whose name is on a building, that set you
off again. Even though you said, and you told the
world and we were excited about this, that you were
going to shut the hell up about the president for
a little while. Then you were going to black out.
But then again, its name, while that's a nameless blob

(01:23:30):
of negative energy, is now triggered you because its name.
Which none of this makes any sense. If he's negative,
what is Rosy o'donald like on a scale of negative
of like one to a bazillion? Where where does Donald
Trump land on that blob of negative energy versus Rosi o'donald?

(01:23:56):
I mean, is she is she so far off of
that that chart that it doesn't even because we can't
we can't kick our neck back far enough to be
able to look up to see how where is she at?
Keep scrolling? I can't see. She must be that far
up that we just don't pay attention to it. It's
just it, it's got the problem. Can you imagine being

(01:24:22):
Rosie O'donnald's like counselor like her mental health professional, her
herpes has caused brain rot? Yeah, you know that's another
thing too, if you if you got which I don't

(01:24:45):
even want to know how she got. I really just
don't want to know. Don't go taking to to social
media and putting your face out there when when when
you've got it's it's just not a good look. It really,
it really is not a good look for you there.
I'm just saying, but yeah, TDS is eating her up
physically and mentally. And you know what's sad. I mean,

(01:25:09):
as much as I really don't care all that much
about Rosie, and if she fell off the face of
the earth tomorrow, I would be okay, I really wouldn't
care all that much. But it's just sad to see
that somebody would allow themselves and you're really allowing yourself
to get to the point where you are that upset

(01:25:30):
about one man. And again, it's not like Donald Trump
is doing really bad things. I mean, sure there are
things that I disagree with Donald Trump on, but the
things I disagree with Donald Trump on, I just say
I don't agree with that. That's it. During the Biden administration,

(01:25:55):
there was nothing I agreed with, nothing, and I would
just I just just I don't I'd agree with that, Joe.
I would. I would watch Joe Biden do a speech
and and with the you know in the cancer and
the windshield and the things in the stuff, I always

(01:26:17):
would step back and just kind of go, fuck, was
that was that? All?

Speaker 7 (01:26:23):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
Moving on, when the reports came out that our inflation
was at a forty year high. Just come out and
go damn man, come on, what are you doing. You're
killing us over here? Smalls all right, I gotta go
to work. I didn't melt down because Joe Biden was

(01:26:48):
destroying our economy when you looked at it with the numbers.
I didn't melt down because of the fact that Joe
Biden essentially allowed Russia to go in and bomb Ukraine.
It melt down, and I was like, damn it to
see the Left do that again. To be her psychiatrist

(01:27:09):
or counselor whoever she's seeing, which obviously is clearly not
doing enough work. Maybe need to get her on some
stronger medication or something just sedator. Maybe that's what Rosie
O'donnald needs. Rosie O'donnald needs to be heavily, heavily sedated
for the next three years and then wake her out

(01:27:32):
of it when there's a new president. And when she
comes out of it and she goes, oh, Donald Trump,
you could be like Rosie, it was all a dream.
It was just all a dream. It's okay, girl, You're
gonna be fine. It's not good for your health, it
really Isn't anybody see the latest to arrest for Greta Thunberg.

Speaker 2 (01:27:56):
This kid, my God.

Speaker 1 (01:27:59):
To be honest, I'm not sure which part of this
bothers me the most. The fact that Greta Thunberg is
once again out protesting again, by the way, not the environment.
She was out protesting a pro Palestinian Action terrorist group thing,
which also doesn't make any damn sense, but whatever. And

(01:28:21):
she was in London for this and she got arrested
yesterday in central London while taking part of the mass
gathering which was backing the Palestinian Palestinian Action terrorist group.
And she was detained as she expressed her support for
this group, which is just you are retarded, right, I mean, like, seriously,

(01:28:44):
you've got to be to be able to sit there
and go I'm gonna go protest and back a terrorist group.
But the thing that bothered me and and again Uk,
this is this is where part of your problem is, okay.
And I know some people are like, oh, maybe it
was just stage. Not only it was staged. She's sitting

(01:29:05):
there on the ground and she's got her stupid little sign,
you know, being all propoused in mean, and she's just
sitting there and this officer comes up to her. Now,
It's not like people don't know that this is Greta.
You know, everybody knows it's Greta. So this officer kind
of squats down to her level and he looks at

(01:29:26):
her and he's like, listen, you gotta go. You can't
stay here anymore. You you gotta you gotta leave. And
she's like, nope, I'm staying right here. No, no, we
we really need you to, We need you to leave.

(01:29:46):
You just you can't be here, could would you? Would
you mind standing up? And then we're gonna we're gonna
politely but walk you down. No, I'm staying right here,
at which point the officer then very gently grabs hold
of her arm, not in a way of get your

(01:30:08):
ass up like a parent would do when you're on
the floor screaming like a little child, but grabs her
arm ever so gently, like it's the old elderly grandmother
that you're helping her getting up out of the rocking chair.
Come on, darling, please, let's let's stand up. No, I'm
staying here.

Speaker 3 (01:30:26):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:30:26):
Other officer comes over and let's let's get you to
stand up. They get her to stand up. Okay, well,
we need you to leave now. Nope, I'm not leaving UK.
Here's your solution to this. You walk up to her
and you say, hey, get your ass up, let's go,
And when she says no, you take out the bear spray,

(01:30:47):
not just pepper spray, not just made bear spray. Get up, No,
I'm not getting up. Are you gonna get up? I'm
not getting up? Okay, fine, grab her by her arm
yank her up to the point where she feels every
tendon in her shoulder start to go out, and she

(01:31:08):
stands up clear the ground as her feet leave the ground,
and she comes up at least a foot higher than
she is tall, so that way she comes back down
to the ground to settle on her feet, and you
look at her and say, listen, you little brat, you're
leaving now, or you're leaving in cuffs. I'm not leaving taser.

(01:31:30):
Drop her back to the ground, taser, and then get
down on your knee alongside of her head and say
you are now under arrest. You're coming with us, hog
tire and hauler off. This is the reason in the
UK why you have so many problems. You're trying to
be too gentle and nice to the bad people. We can't.

(01:31:52):
We can't be mean to her. I mean, what did
you think was gonna happen when you went up to
Greta Thunberg and asked her politely? Could you please leave?
Could you? Could you stand up? It would be great
if we have some tea and crumpets for you, we'll
get you out of here. That and why do countries

(01:32:13):
even let her in? I mean, at this point, why
would any country let Greta in? Just say, look, Greta, no,
you can't come to the UK. You're not a UK citizen,
so you're not coming here to h to protest. Even
the US, the US also needs to deny her entry

(01:32:34):
into this country. Every country around should do that. And
this way she just gets stuck in Sweden, and I
don't know it does something for herself. I don't know,
but I'm so tired of this girl, It's like and
I feel bad for her too, because one, she does
have some issues. I believe she's been diagnosed with Asperger's disease.
Is a disease or just Asperger's I don't know. Either way,

(01:32:56):
she's got that, and she's a pain in the ass too,
So I do feel bad for I feel bad that
she has been used. And it's very clear from the
very start when she became this environmentalist. How dare you
that she was being brainwashed not only by her family,
but by the idiots in that world. I mean to

(01:33:20):
the point now where where she's thinking that she needs
to get out there in protest this Palestinian terrorist group. Hun.
Let me explain something to you. If it wasn't for
the Israeli government stepping in when you went and did
your flotilla to go to Tagaza to support Palestine, there's

(01:33:44):
a good chance that you at this point in time,
would have been nothing more than a rape doll for
Hamas and Palestinians. I mean, I'm not trying to go
down a really bad road, especially with it being before Christmas,
but there's a reaction a little blonde haired white girl
like you being thrown into the Hammas Muslim kind. They

(01:34:10):
would use you as a rape doll. Do you understand
what that means? You would be nothing but a sexual
toy for them. They will abuse you like you wouldn't
believe that's what they would believe in you. They're not
gonna be like, oh, thank god, Greta Thunberg is here
to help support us. Huh uh, they're gonna be like

(01:34:35):
her or the sheep. Well, we'll do the sheep later.
Grab her. They would do unthinkable amount of things to her,
and she is so clueless to this, as is all
of the idiots that are with her. I mean, first
of a lot of the idiots that are surrounding her
are the guys that they would be throwing off of buildings,

(01:34:56):
but they have no clue of what it is that
they are protecting. And you you you in a way,
not just because it's Christmas and you want to feel
good for people, but in a way you really do
have to kind of feel bad that she is this
stupid and that this is the point that she is at.
It's it's horrible. I mean, I hope nothing bad ever

(01:35:19):
happens to her, but at the same time, she needs
to she needs to have somebody straighten her out. And
London again, stop with the nicest. This is the reason
for why your country is falling apart. That's the reason
for why you have the crime. Grow a set. Tell
that little brat and others like her how it's going
to be when they protest and block the streets. Don't

(01:35:44):
get out there and be like, exculls me. Would you
please just pardon me? Could you move out of the street. Nope,
grab them by their ankles and drag them by the way.
This is another one too. Love these protest stories. Anybody
see the story? And I don't even know where it was.
It was someplace cold because there's snow. Was probably Illinois.
There was a pregnant woman who has gone to an

(01:36:06):
ice protest and she lays down in front of a car.
Now this is a big level of fafo. You wouldn't
be surprised if the car ran you over, but it didn't. Instead,
the Ice agents grab her by her arm and pull her,
which thankfully the roads were icy and full of snow,

(01:36:29):
so it made it easier to pull that hefler but
grabbed hold of her and pull her and yanked your way,
and all the crowd is screaming, stop, she's pregnant, don't
hurt her, let her go, stop she's pregnant. Now I
feel bad for that unborn child, I really do, because
it's going to be entering into a world with that
thing as your mother, who didn't care enough about your

(01:36:49):
safety to be able to make sure that you were
out of harm and laid down in front of a
freaking car as a protest. What would have happened if
that car hit the gas pedal ran over the pregnant woman.
But then again, Democrats, they don't really care because it
just killed the babies. But you're sitting here screaming and hollering,

(01:37:10):
let her go, let her go? How about this shouldn't
have been there to begin with. Just don't get it,
really don't get it. All right, we got to take
another quick break. We'll be right back. Merry Christmas. Thank
you so much for checking out the show. Be right back.

Speaker 5 (01:37:48):
All right, Welcome back to the Brian Rush Show.

Speaker 1 (01:37:50):
Merry Christmas. Thank you so much for being part of
the show today. To appreciate it. Don't forget if you
miss a show, whether it's the live show that happens
here on Rumble Orwimken dot com, you can always watch
the playback later on and you can get the podcast
at the Brian Rustashow dot com as well. Risk Christmas music,

(01:38:13):
I'll get the next break we do, we'll do another
one of the Christmas songs we did make a We
only did two Christmas song, actually we did three of them,
but the third one really sucked, so we we didn't.
We didn't do that one. So yeah, we'll play another
Christmas song coming up later on in the next next
break of the show. In the meantime, California, I know

(01:38:33):
this is gonna be a shocker on this one. California
has now blocked from secretly transitioning kids in school. Yeah,
California teachers can no longer hide children's gender identities from
their parents, following a permanent injunction which it is, which
was issued earlier this week in a class action lawsuit.

(01:38:56):
Poor California' gonna be okay, the lawsuit which was filed
by teachers who felt that they moral duty to protect
children and strongly objected to being dishonest with parents about
their kids, as the state's parental exclusion policies required them
to do so. Several of the California Department of Education

(01:39:17):
policies were designed to create a zone of secrecy around
a school student who expresses gender. Yeah. Whatever, they're using
big words here, we're not going to use them, basically
going I'm not a boy, which is just one of
these things too. And I'm glad these teachers actually kind
of suit on this. We know at this point, and

(01:39:42):
not that we really truly needed, you know, any sort
of any sort of study or anything to tell us this,
but we know that if you're a transgender that there's
some mental health issues going on. And if you're a
teenager in the school or whatever, and these are the
things that are concerning you that you're more concerned about,

(01:40:02):
that there's probably something else going on. And it is
a good thing to inform the parents, because parents should
be aware that their children are thinking about wanting to
mutilate their bodies. It's a good thing to let the
parents know. Now I understand, and I'm going to be
slightly understanding here for the hypotheticals on this that sure,

(01:40:26):
there is going to be parents that are not going
to take that information. Well, there's going to be parents
that if they found out that their child was secretly
gay or their child wanted to be transgender, that they
probably won't handle that news. Well, I mean, look, there's

(01:40:47):
just a reality of how some asshole parents are. Most parents,
maybe some that will be disappointed with the news that
their child is that way, will still in their child
and we'll work with them. Some on the more religious
extreme may go down. Some religious ways to bring them

(01:41:10):
down to the river. Others will say, okay, well, let's
figure this out, let's get you some somebody to talk
to about this, let's examine it. But that is up
to the parents to do. And again, if you get
a situation and there's laws already to prevent this stuff
and to do things, and look, you can't save every

(01:41:33):
child as much as you want to. And if you
were to inform the parents of something and say a
father gets really upset about it and beats the child, well,
obviously it's not going to be a situation where it's
going to be like, well, you know, the parent had
the right to know. No, that parent is going to
go to jail. That parent will go to jail, maybe

(01:41:56):
the parents will divorce. Who knows. Children's services will come in,
which they're a problem, and maybe remove the child from
that home, put them with a relative or somebody else.
They'll go in and they'll protect him with that. And
that's fine. I mean, it's traumatic, it's horrible and everything,
but that's fine. We can go down that road rather
than ruining a child for the rest of its life.

(01:42:19):
And I'm glad that these teachers felt the moral duty
to protect the children, because that's what they should be doing. Now,
there's all kinds of things that children have happen in
their lives where you know, a parent may get upset
about it, and you know, sometimes you're gonna have to
tell a parent. I mean, look, if a child misbehaves
in school, if a child came up and little Johnny

(01:42:41):
slapped Susie or something, you know, yeah, you're gonna have
to call the parents and be like, hey, just want
to let you know your son slapped a kid. Now,
parents gonna sit them down at home and punish them
in some way, have a conversation with them, some way.
Maybe dad will come in and smack them upside the
head and beat the snots out of the kid. Again,

(01:43:01):
child abuse, there's laws against that. But again California wanting
to just sh don't tell anybody. Don't tell anybody that
child must mutilate themselves and change them completely and ruin
their entire lives. Don't say anything to the parents. Parents
shouldn't know. But in a statement that came from the

(01:43:27):
Special Counsel for the Thomas Moore Society, saying that today's
incredible victory finally and permanently ends California's dangerous and unconstitutional
regime of gender secrecy policies in schools, said that the
court's comprehensive ruling granted summary judgment on all claims and
protects all California parents, students, and teachers, and restores and

(01:43:51):
it restores sanity and common sense. With the decisive ruling
from the judge, all state and local school officials that
mandate gender secrecy policies should cease all enforcement or face
severe legal consequences. In this case explored a couple of
big questions. One whether the Fourteenth Amendments substantive due process

(01:44:13):
clause provided parents a right to access information about their
child's gender identity. I mean, the fact that you would
want to be like, well, does the constitution prevent them?
I mean, we should make sure that the constitution to
prevent the children from their parents. I'm sorry. In a

(01:44:34):
lot of ways, I'm glad that I'm not a parent
and have to deal with this stuff, because if I
lived in California and I was a parent, I'd be
in jail. I would be in jail because I would
beat somebody and it wouldn't be the kid. I would
love my kid no matter what but these people that
do this stuff to the kids, I would be in jail.
I really would. The other issue that they would bring
up is whether or not the First Amendments Free Exercise
of Religion clause does the same, and a third being

(01:44:56):
whether the First Amendment provides religious teachers a right to
provide gender information to parents based on free exercise protections,
and for whether the First Amendment provides public school teachers
a right to communicate accurate gender information to parents based
on free speech protections. This is not free speech. A

(01:45:20):
young school child coming out and saying I don't think
I'm a boy and that I should cut off my
thing and I should take all kinds of drugs and
become a girl. That's not a First Amendment issue. First
Amendment issues are your ability to address the government with

(01:45:41):
your grievances without retaliation from the government. That's what your
First Amendment is. And for these jackasses to go off
and say, well, you know with the First Amendment, you
know the child's ability to know, it's not a First
Amendment issue. It is a child parent issue, and parents

(01:46:05):
have the rights of their children, not the government. In
the day that we surrender our rights as parents to
the government. That's when Marxism and communism and socialism completely wins.
Children belong to the parents. Now, when that child reaches

(01:46:27):
the legal age of adulthood, then it's a different story.
But until then, government does not have the right to
do what they do with parents and their children. Yes,
government should be there to protect the children. And if
a child is going through a transgender phase or is

(01:46:51):
what they want to do and dad finds out about
it or mom finds out about it, and they abuse
the child in some way, then yes, step in to
put the child. But you're not protecting the child by
not addressing the issue because it could be a mental
health issue. I mean mostly it is, but there could

(01:47:11):
be other roots that need to be explored. Is this
child okay? Are there issues with the child? And during
their mental development stage of early life, that's the time
you want to start correcting some of these problems. And
there are problems that could lead to a life of depression.

(01:47:32):
It could be a problem that could lead you to
being a mass murderer. It could be a problem that
could leave you to a suicide. It could be all
kinds of things. But to exclude the parents, this is
the type of stuff that just has to stop. And
I'm glad that this lawsuit came about and essentially has
told California not it off. And under Democrat Governor Gaven Newsrom,

(01:47:53):
California back in twenty twenty four became the first state
to bar schools from requiring staff to notice notify parents
to requests a name or pronoun change, and then seeks
access to opposite sex facilities or attempts to join opposite
sex sports teams. State Education code permits athletes to participate
in whichever team is consistent with his or her gender identity,

(01:48:16):
and California's Civil Rights Act further includes gender identity under
its definition of sex. Parental involvement essentially the health of
and maturing of a school child. According to the court,
California's public school system, parental exclusion policies place a communication

(01:48:36):
barrier between parents and teachers, and that's ending. Now, keep
in mind, this is the guy that wants to be president.
Another thing that we should highlight to everybody that we
can that this is the guy and this is the
stuff that he wants to do, and that this is

(01:48:56):
a no bueno should not happen. All Right, we gotta
take another quick break, plice of Christmas music, crying this one.
We'll be back.

Speaker 14 (01:49:16):
Snowflakes falling, but they're not too soft.

Speaker 1 (01:49:20):
We keep it strong. We shake the frost.

Speaker 14 (01:49:23):
Christmas lives and liberties shine across this land. We deck
the halls with red and white, the starry blue of
freedom's life. A nation's heartbeats proudly where we stand.

Speaker 2 (01:49:41):
From seed to shining snow we see.

Speaker 5 (01:49:45):
We raise our voice and unity.

Speaker 2 (01:49:49):
Merry Christmas.

Speaker 1 (01:49:52):
To the Red, the True, the bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:49:55):
We keep our faith in the stories we've told, from
a heart land to the city streets.

Speaker 1 (01:50:05):
We stand for truth. We never retreat.

Speaker 12 (01:50:08):
The bride and Russ shows here to say, Very Christmas, USA,
US say.

Speaker 14 (01:50:27):
Stockings filled with dreams we sow through hard work and
the seeds we grow.

Speaker 1 (01:50:34):
Tradition holds it's more than just a tree.

Speaker 8 (01:50:40):
We bow our heads give thanks tonight for every soldier
in the fight, for every hen that's built in liberty.
With every bell and candles glow, we sell a break
what we know.

Speaker 1 (01:51:01):
Merry Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:51:05):
To the Red, the True, the boat we keep by
me in the story is we've told, from.

Speaker 1 (01:51:14):
The heartland to the city streets.

Speaker 5 (01:51:18):
We stand for truth.

Speaker 2 (01:51:19):
We never retrieve the Brye and rust Joe's here to see.

Speaker 1 (01:51:25):
Merry Christmas, us.

Speaker 7 (01:51:33):
Us US.

Speaker 1 (01:52:04):
All right, welcome back to the Bride Rousshelle. Thanks so
much for being part of our show today. We appreciate.
Merry Christmas to you and to your family. I hope
you're ready to spend some good time. I'm ready to
drink a lot of eggnog and rum. I'm not gonna lie,
but either way, I get to spend the time with
the family. Yesterday I went out and finished some of
my Christmas shopping and you know, so bad. I went

(01:52:30):
to buy a book for somebody, and I went and
bought the book, and as I was shopping, I'm like,
ooh ooh. While I got the one gift for one person,
I got four for myself. And then I'm thinking to myself, going,
when do I have time to read these books? Like

(01:52:51):
I need to start cramming more knowledge and information up
into my brain at this point. Anyhow, welcome back to
the show. Thanks so much again for being part of
the day here rist miss everyone. Have a great holiday.
Hey Rogue, it's good to see you. Thanks so much
for Papa. I will always love seeing some of the
new names too, by the way, popping up in the chats.

(01:53:11):
And by the way, don't be afraid to chime in
and and say some things in the chats or even
direct messages Facebook or something, because I love getting some
of your your feedback and your input. So another federal judge,
this time up in Providence, Rhode Island, has decided to
borrow the Trump administration from funding cuts to sanctuary states.

(01:53:33):
And you know this again, this is sometimes starting to
get really annoyed with. At what point and can somebody
help me out? Where does it say that the courts
control the purse strings. I'm just curious where it is.
And I know the left is going to be like, yeah,
well neither does Donald Trump. The president doesn't control them either.

(01:53:56):
That's Congress. Yeah, I'll give you a little bit of
that argument, but not much of it, especially since what
you're seeing the Congress do. Somebody's got to step in.
But I'm tired of these judges being like, oh, yeah,
your taxpayer dollars should be going to the people that
are breaking the law. How are you getting credibility with

(01:54:17):
the judges when we are looking at sanctuary cities who
are allowing people to be there illegally, and we're giving
them money to spend on the illegals, and we say, no,
we don't want to do which, by the way, the
American people are overwhelmingly saying stop it. And a judge

(01:54:38):
is going to be able to step in and say, no,
you have to give that money to the people who
broke the law. I'm sorry, judge, Judge Mary McElroy, you're
an idiot. You're an idiot, And no, our taxpayer money
should not go to somebody who is breaking the law.

(01:54:59):
And as a judge, you should be saying, wait a second,
there are people in sanctuary cities that shouldn't be here
in the country because they broke the law. Wow, we
should really actually go after those people and prosecute them
for breaking the law. Because I'm a judge who uphelds

(01:55:21):
the laws of our land. That's a concept. And you
know what we should also do because there's a law,
a federal law, and you are a federal judge. There's
a federal law that says when you go out there
and you provide comfort and you provide the ability for
somebody to be here illegally, then you get either fined

(01:55:47):
and or jailed because that's breaking the law. So again,
as a judge who is responsible for upholding the laws,
you should be saying something about the laws being broken,
not saying no, no, no, no, no no. You give
those people breaking the law that money. The ruling from

(01:56:11):
this judge now restores more than two hundred and thirty
three million dollars in grants to eleven states and the
District of Columbia so that they can do things for
these people here illegally. The judge sided with a coalition
of twelve Attorney generals that sued the administration this year
after being informed that several states would receive reduced federal

(01:56:34):
grants as a result of their sanctuary juristic jurisdiction statuses.
The order affects the funding from the US Department of
Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which had
cut more than two hundred and thirty three million dollars
from Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, with

(01:56:54):
the eight billion dollars New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.
These funds all being part of one billion dollar program
tied to risk assessments. Assessments and primarily go to local
law enforcement and emergency services. Now if these if these states,
we're actually saying, listen, Donald Trump's taking away that money,

(01:57:19):
but we need that money because we are actually enforcing
the laws and we are sending our law enforcement into
these areas to grab the illegals that broke the law
to be here. But we need that funding to do that.
I would be on their side, totally be on their
side and be like, yep, you're right, you know what,

(01:57:40):
they should get that funding because law enforcement should have
that money to be able to go and do that.
But every one of these states Connecticut, Delaware, DC, Massachusetts, Minnesota,
New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington State, all of
them are defending the illegals. So you're clearly not using

(01:58:00):
that money to go to local law enforcement and emergency
services to address law enforcement. So why should we give
you the money. I mean, that's that this is something
that a law degree shouldn't be the thing to determine
how that is factual? Are you doing it for law

(01:58:21):
enforcement purposes?

Speaker 7 (01:58:22):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:58:23):
We we're using the money to protect the illegals. Okay, no,
you don't get the money, no money for you, no
suit for you. But the soup. Soup is great. Soup
is awesome. It's fantastic. Love me a good soup. By
the way, anybody see the meme that I posted. I
posted a thing yesterday and it was Bernie Sanders and

(01:58:47):
he was talking a little bit about houses. Let me
get the quote for you. That's pretty funny. He posted
on x that we have a major housing crisis. And
somebody responds with, what's this? We sh shit? You have
three houses? Well, you you have to understand that I'm
I'm an important person. I am I'm a I'm a senator,

(01:59:10):
and uh, I'm better than you. So this is the
way that it is. I need to have these three
homes and my sports cars, and uh, stop being a president.
Go get some soup, and get some bread too. They
baked the bread last night. It's delicious. Sit down and
shut up. But I'm so over all of this stuff

(01:59:31):
with the with the judges jumping in and and and
telling us that we have to spend money, our taxpayer
money on illegals. They're here legally, and and quite honestly,
I think we're at the point now. I think it's
time for us to when we have a judge who
makes a ruling like that that is clearly not abiding

(01:59:55):
by the letter of the law. They should be arrested
for violating law. Arrest them, arrest them and prosecute them
for breaking the law. That has start firing some of them.
I mean, it's understandable if if you know it's a
ruling that you know, you just didn't like, but you
know it made sense. You know, here's the laws and this.

(02:00:17):
But when when you're protecting somebody who broke a law,
no kind of start firing him, getting rid of them.
But here's another thing that kind of bothers me a
little bit. Senator John Kennedy, who I love. I think
he's one of the best when it comes to just
saying it like it is. He discussed inflation and the
cost of living concerns and the need for Congressional action
during an exchange with Will Kine on Fox News, and

(02:00:40):
focusing on what he described as the disinflation rather than deflation,
and outlining legislative steps that he said Congress should take immediately.
Will Caine started off by saying that let's let's start
with the idea of a new reconciliation bill, and let's
talk about the affordability politics, which again I hate that
new buzz thing, the affordability politics. He said, let's talk

(02:01:02):
about the economy. You give an interesting speech recently where
you distinguish between what's going on now, which is as
you described it, disinflation, and that is the slowing down
of the Biden era inflation from nine percent to the
current two or two to three percent, but distinguishing that
from deflation very different in your description, very dangerous. And

(02:01:27):
Kennedy responded by saying and acknowledging that the reduction in
inflation while assigning responsibilities for its original you know person
who did this, and talking about how lower inflation doesn't
necessarily mean prices are are, you know, no longer rising.
But he said, let me first say I want to
give credit to the President and to the Republicans in

(02:01:47):
Congress and to the Federal Reserve for getting inflation down.
He can trast it the current inflation levels of the
previous highs and said that it wasn't many years ago
that we had nine percent inflation, and that inflation didn't
originate in a bat, that inflation was man made, and
that the man's name was President Joe Biden. Kennedy went

(02:02:11):
on to say that the inflation has declined significantly but
remains a concern for American families. It goes on to
say that so we started at nine percent and now
we've gone down to three percent. That's good news. The
bad news is that the three percent inflation still means
prices are going up. And he said that lawmakers must
recognize the continued strain and rising prices placed on households.

(02:02:35):
And he said, now, how do we do how do
we do about? First he said, what we acknowledge the problem?
And then the fact that when many moms and dads
lie down to sleep at night and can't, one of
the things many they worry is about the cost of living.
And he basically goes on to say that, you know what,
here's the thing. We can lower this, we can change this,

(02:03:00):
we can make a difference. And by the way, we
could do it without Democrats. So the bottom line is,
if the Republican Party can do it without Democrats, do it.
The thing I am tired of hearing is talk. I
want action to actually come out of Congress. And if

(02:03:22):
there is a way for Congress to go ahead and
do something to eliminate this problem, nowt do it? Stop
relying on Donald Trump to do everything for you, get
off your ass and do it. I don't think that's
too much for us to ask, is it? Is it
too much for us to ask the Republicans that we

(02:03:45):
have there to get in there and do what they
can through their powers to lower this stuff, because honestly,
we haven't seen much of it from the Republican Party.
Even the Democrats, as much as it was a horrible idea,
really didn't do anything. The Democrats at the very least
came out and said, we're gonna do an inflation reduction bill,

(02:04:08):
and they did an inflation reduction bill. They passed it,
and it didn't reduce the influction inflation, but they passed
a bill. They did something. What are the Republicans doing nothing?
They're there, wait, hang on, what Donald Trump doing? Okay,
let's jump on Donald Trump's coattails until until Democrats make

(02:04:31):
enough noise, and then we'll turn around and say, yeah,
bad idea, bad idea there, we shouldn't do it. Such
a mess really is a mess. And then you got
the libtards. Sara Gonzalez. She ended up posting a video.

(02:04:53):
The video was them, we're not talking politics at Christmas
and then me a picture with her. By the way,
she's adorable. Me walking into Christmas dinner and she's walking
into Christmas dinner with a dazzled red jacket with forty
five on onn sleeve forty seven on the other and

(02:05:14):
then Trump on the back and just happy and ready
to go into the family to talk politics. Hairberry has
got to chime in saying, this must be such a
sad life to live. Worshiping a pedo protector even on
the holiday is crazy work. Now, first off, you got
to stop calling Donald Trump a pedo because well, he's

(02:05:37):
never been charged for it, never been convicted of it,
so therefore he's not a pedo. I'm waiting for Donald
Trump to start suing some of these people. Would that
down be great to watch Harry Sisson get sued for
all those stupid things that he has accused people of,
and of course more of the other insanity that we
get posted. I swear of God social media. I've got

(02:06:00):
to get like a vacation from it or something. Another
one of these posts. This is the new trend of
posts that are coming up about the this video is posted.
If you look at it quickly, you'd think, oh, some
you know, high school girl or something dressed in her
Grinch shirt and then you look down a little bit
and go, Jesus, I didn't need to see that. That's
not a girl. That is not a girl. Clearly not

(02:06:23):
a girl. And by the way, congratulations on that as well.
But the headlight on this was if trans women aren't women,
then what am I not to go down this road
this early in the morning and the day before Christmas?
But based upon that video and when you down a

(02:06:43):
little you're a dude and one that should be happy.
I'm just saying, but this is the new tread that
they do. It's like, what are you trying to come
up with when you do this? When you show a
video of what is again clearly a dude. If trans

(02:07:06):
women are and women, what am I? Then your in
need of some serious help. That's what you need. Oh look,
we got a riddle. Riddle me this conservative? If capitalism
makes nations strong, why does Chicago, USA? Look like this?

(02:07:29):
And it is a video with homeless people living in
the streets of Chicago. Well, Kevin, let me answer that
question for you. Because it's in a Democrat run city
and in a democratic Democrat democrat. Let's go to just
democrat in a democrat run city. This is what you see.

(02:07:49):
You see this level of homelessness. So there you go.
There's the answer to your riddle there, Kevin. If capitalism
makes a nation strong, why does Chicago, USA? Look like this?
And because while capitalism does make a nation strong, if
you have ridiculous, stupid policies like you do in these

(02:08:11):
democrat cities, then of course you're gonna have that. Oh,
here we go. This is a good one, Doctor Rita Deed.
We can't go a show without doctor Rita Deed. White
people coming from by the way, the pasty, pastel looking
white girl, get ready to celebrate the birth of a

(02:08:33):
man born in Palestine. Happy holidays, Thanks appreciate it. I
mean he was born in that region. What's your point?
What's your point? White girl? Just asking? Speaking of Christmas,

(02:08:56):
we got to take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Good morning, all.

Speaker 5 (02:09:17):
Right, welcome back to the Brian Rush Show.

Speaker 1 (02:09:18):
Merry Christmas to you. I don't know if I told you,
but we're going on day number two of no coffee
today because stupid me, Like I said yesterday, I ran
out a coffee creamer. So I wasn't able to do
my coffee yesterday. That was a struggle. Today I'm without
coffee again because I don't have my Foo Food coffee creamer,

(02:09:41):
and I just can't drink the coffee without reading Food Food.
I admit it. That's all right, that's fine. I'm holding
on on my man card.

Speaker 8 (02:09:46):
Though.

Speaker 1 (02:09:48):
Yesterday I was thinking to myself, Oh, on my way home,
I gotta go and get some coffee creamer. Oh you
know what, Actually it's Taco Tuesday. Let's stop and get
some tacos first. All right, we'll go to Diego's. So
I went to Diego's, had a couple street tacos, had
some dinner, and I was like, oh, you know what,
I got to go down to a store to get something.
So went down to a store, got something that I
had to do, and then from there, I was, oh,

(02:10:11):
got to get that Christmas skip. Went to the bookstore,
got the bookstore, got my stuff. I'm like, all right,
let's go home. Got home, laying in bed last night
and I'm going through emails and a bunch of other things.
And then all of a sudden, I went, oh, meathead,
you didn't go get the coffee creamer. I don't know

(02:10:33):
how I've made it through the show with the with,
with the the without the coffee today. But it's tough.
So the other thing we got to we gotta check
out here. I want to I want to actually hear
from Jojo from jurors. This is one of my favorite
dip wads that I like watching on on on X,
the things that come out of her. And you know

(02:10:53):
what's disappointing about her. She's cute, like she really is.
She's she's absolutely adorable, Like she's about ninety five percent
my type, like physically, and when I look at her,
I'll be like, damn girl, how you doing? And then
she starts talking and I'm like, oh, forget it. But
she's saying that Trump says affordability is a hoax. Cool.

(02:11:16):
Can somebody tell me tell my grocery store, my electric
bill and the seven dollars strawberries. You know that at
Scott Perry, Pa voted for the tariffs making your holidays
more expensive. This isn't a hoax. It's a choice and
he made it. All right, Well, let's hear what Jojo
has to say.

Speaker 15 (02:11:36):
So apparently Donald Trump says that affordability is a hoax. Yeah,
just like climate change, the tooth fairy and my teenagers
ever putting the dishes away. Honestly, my grocery store must
be in on the scam too, because have you seen
the price of strawberries lately? I had to check if
they came with a side of gold booll yon. If
price is go any higher, I'll need to sort of

(02:11:56):
GoFundMe just to make a fruit salad. Let's talk about Christmas.
I'm a single mom with two teenagers, which means my
holiday budget is already held together left. But this year
every price tag is a jump. Scare clothes, electronics, even
stocking stuffers. Everything costs more. I half expect the cashier
to hit me a bill and whisper surprise, it's tariffs.

(02:12:18):
And who do I have to thank for this festive
financial colonoscopy? Pennsylvania Congressman Scott Perry, Well, I'm over here
considering whether to wrap up the electric bill and put
it under the tree. Merry Christmas kids, saying I brought
you a lamp that turns on. Scott was busy voting
for Trump's tariff war, because nothing says season of giving
like a trade policy that makes you choose between buying

(02:12:38):
your kid a hoodie or paying the gas bill. Let's
be real. Tariffs arech as taxes and a fake mustache.
Politicians love to say we're sticking it to China, but
the only thing getting stuck is my wallet. Prices go up,
shelves get emptier, and my kids get the gift of
character building disappointment. Thanks Scott, and let's be crystal clear,
Scott Perry's vote wasn't some abstract, heartless thing that happened

(02:13:01):
in a far away place. It was a choice, a real,
deliberate choice, and that choice is hurting my kids, my neighbors,
and everyone in our region who's already stretched to the edge.
This isn't just politics. It's our dinner tables, our holidays.

Speaker 8 (02:13:15):
Our lives.

Speaker 15 (02:13:16):
So the next time you're at the store staring down
a seven dollars container of strawberries and considering a payment plan,
remember this isn't some random hoax. Scott Perry voted for it.
He chose to make your holidays more expensive because apparently
he thinks Merry Christmas is Latin for hope you like
socks and utilities kids.

Speaker 1 (02:13:36):
By the way, I could actually use some socks I'm
not gonna lie I do. I've been looking for some
from some socks. Most of my socks are like ankle socks,
and so yeah, I could I could use some of those.
But by the way, you know, Jo Joe from Jeris,
Let's let's ask a question, and we're gonna ask Ai
this question as well, because you know, usually that's that's

(02:13:57):
what the left loves. They love their Ai. Let's see
what state produces the most strawberries. Anybody want to make
a guess before the answer comes up? Seven dollars strawberries.

(02:14:18):
Let's see. Let's see. According to the latest USDA data,
California accounts for around eighty nine to ninety one percent
of US strawberry production, and Florida, by the way, comes
in a distant second about eight to ten percent. So

(02:14:41):
Jojo from Jurors, when you are complaining about the fact
that you are now spending seven dollars on strawberries, there
is a really good chance that the seven dollars strawberries
that you were paying for are coming from the libtard
state of California. Where in California, the cost of fuel

(02:15:06):
and all of the other regulations that they have in
California in order for you to do any sort of business,
there are through the freaking roof. So yes, your strawberries
that you are getting from California, which again just the
simple growing of is going to cost a lot more money.

(02:15:27):
Maybe it has something to do with California and not
the tariffs. Now I understand that, yes, there are some
things that are that are still expensive. Yes, I do
understand inflation is still climbing, but it's not climbing what
it was, and we're not bound to where we should be,
and the prices aren't really lowering as much as they
should be. But is a significant difference between now and

(02:15:50):
when your boy Joey was in office, when we were
at a forty year high in inflation. I didn't see you,
by the chance, complaining last Christmas about how expensive everything is.
But this year, yeah, this year now that the prices
have come down, still up, not where they need to

(02:16:10):
be the lowest, but these have improved. And I didn't
see you complaining last year. But this year you're complaining.
And again you're complaining about those seven dollars strawberries coming
from the state of California. So why don't you ask
the question why is it that things that come out

(02:16:31):
of the state of California are so damn expensive? Because
I don't know if you're aware of this, Jojo, there's
no tariffs on the state of California. The tariffs are
being applied to places that bring other goods in. So
why would California be charging so much for strawberries?

Speaker 7 (02:16:59):
Now?

Speaker 1 (02:16:59):
I get it. When you to talk about electronics that
you bought from China, or a car that you may
have bought from Japan or China or wherever else it
might have been, or you know, a T shirt or
whatever else that you might have purchased that you came
from a foreign country that doesn't want to cooperate with
our trade stuff, I get it. It might be a
little expensive, still nowhere near as expensive as it was

(02:17:20):
last year. But again, let's I'm kind of hung up
a little bit on the strawberry thing because you're so
upset about it. Why don't you ask Gavin Newsom about that?
Why don't you ask Gavin Newsom and say, Hey, Gavin,
why is stuff so expensive when it comes from your state? Hey, Gavin,
why is it that the cost of meat has gone

(02:17:42):
up a little bit more? Because We've had processing plants
in California closed and shut down and went away, So
now there's a shortage a little bit of meat. And
then what we do have is more expensive because you know,
it's not being produced in the US. It's now being
shipped back to China and back to US. Again. Why

(02:18:02):
is that? Why would it be that the cost of
living in a Democrat blue state is more expensive than
those in the red states, even though we're buying the
same types of products. Why why would that be, Jojo?

(02:18:24):
Why just go out there and go out onto a
limb and ask those questions and see what it is.
And again, it's so disappointing that she's so cute because
I hear her talk and then I'm like, dear God,
and yes, I guess apparently it is Scott Perry from Pennsylvania.
It's all his fault. It's all his fault. Now, Scott

(02:18:50):
Perry voting for tariffs have made strawberries cost seven dollars. Oh, man, evil,
evil man. And then you have the gas prices. Now,
I've talked about the gas prices as to why they're
not as low as Donald Trump would like them to be,
because look, the the plants they can't make any more

(02:19:15):
fuel than they're already making. Under the Biden administration, last year,
they were at full capacity. I mean, they were trying
to pump out as much fuel as they possibly could.
But because of the Biden policies and the Democrat policies
on the environments and everything, they have made it so
that the plants have changed to other products that they're

(02:19:36):
producing and not just gasoline. So it's going to take
a little time for that to catch up while we
build some more refineries to catch up with that. But
I thought the lyre in chief said gas prices were
going under two bucks Dems unite just out of curiosity.
Where is this egghead? You want to guess California? Oh,

(02:20:00):
she doesn't even put where she's from. Because again, when
it comes to gas prices not as low as they
we want them to be. They're getting there. But yeah, uh,
in every liberal state that we have, gas prices are
through the roof. Why is that? Again? The question? Why

(02:20:23):
get out and ask that one? Why is it that
things that are in California? Why expensive? Why is it
that when I go to fill up my gas tank
in California, I'm paying three dollars four dollars a callon
for fuel. When I hear in Florida they're they're paying
like you know, less than that. Why why is that? Hm?

(02:20:50):
Could it have anything to do with And I'm gonna
again go out on a limb here liberal policies. Was
that PATCHI train in Louisiana has really good strawberries? You
know what else is got good strawberries? Right here in
the Panhandle of Florida.

Speaker 2 (02:21:05):
We do have.

Speaker 1 (02:21:07):
We do have some some good stuff here as well.
I what was the name of it. There's using near Marianna.
There's a big strawberry farm up there. Those things were delicious.
You could do it, you can, you can find the
good prices. But again you hear all these lefties, they
start to complain about all this stuff when it comes
to the economy. And yes, there are still things that

(02:21:29):
are that are that are expensive. There are things that
have come down. Again, there's a big difference between eggs
and meat. There's a reason for it because of the
policies that were instituted by Biden that have caused meat
to be a little bit more expensive. Gas prices not
as low as they should be and as what we
want to because again of the Biden policies that have

(02:21:50):
changed the refineries so that they stopped producing as much
gas they produced other things, which, again, if the liberal
left only understood that concept, if the liberal left understood
how all of the stuff that we have in our
lives that is produced from petroleum, I would just love
to know how they would feel and how they would

(02:22:12):
react to that difference, to that little bit of knowledge
to understand that. She was, why are you telling us
about all these places outside of Flora? I want to
get some Florida strawberries. Actually, you know who else say
has got really good strawberries? Not this time of the year,
but usually Massachusetts, Massachusetts scot some good strawberries. But you know,

(02:22:34):
here's another thing too, Jojo from Jurors, just for your
attention on this one, and this is something that I
actually want to start doing myself. Hydroponics. You know that
with hydroponics you could actually get your kids together. This
would be a great mom and kids thing and you

(02:22:56):
could do a hydroponics rack. I mean, there's really cool
kits that they actually said and Amazon that you can
get if you don't want to get creative with it,
if you just want to have something to assemble and go.
But you could put it up against the wall and
you know what, you could grow right there, like in
your living room, in your dining room. Or you could
do this strawberries. You could grow yourself some strawberries for

(02:23:21):
you and your family year round with this hydroponics kit.
And the greatest thing about the hydroponics is that you
don't have to wait for the seasons to grow this stuff.
You could do all kinds of stuff throughout the year.
So if you really are upset about the seven dollars strawberries,
get a hydroponics kit, get the strawberry seeds and do that.

(02:23:46):
It'd be a great science project for you and your
for your kids. And again, fresh strawberries year round. Just
keep planting them and just keep letting me grow and
you would have amazing amount of strawberry. You know what
is going to cost you the kit, the kit, maybe

(02:24:06):
a little bit on electricity, a little bit on some
of the nutrients. Stuff that you got, throw in the water.
That's it. Strawberries year round and you could make your
own food. You know what else, You could do salad,
You could do a whole salad on this thing. You
could plant a couple of different types of lettuce up there.

(02:24:26):
You could do some cucumbers, you can do tomatoes. It'd
be fantastic. You would actually learn. Are you ready for this?
This is amazing, absolutely amazing, you guys, hang on for this.
This is going to be a Christmas miracle if you
were to do that. Hydroponics, Now, that's the easiest way
to farm. You know, rather than having to get out
and dig in the dirt and do all the other

(02:24:46):
stuff and wait for the seasons. You just set up
this little kit and do that. You'd be able to
provide for yourself. You would be able to provide sustenance
for yourself and your family by doing. Not to mention,
think about all the strawberry shortcake you could be having.
You could be making strawberry jam, and you wouldn't have

(02:25:08):
to rely on somebody else to provide it for you.
What a freaking concept, man, does a matter of it?
Hang on, let me I should order one right now.
Just get in there and order order a a hydroplonics kit.
And actually, now that I'm curious about this, because I've
looked into and actually I'm not stupid, so I can

(02:25:29):
actually build one myself. I don't necessarily need one of
these kits, but I know not jot. What the hell
my fat fingers. I just want to check now in
prices on this can't spell today hydro Let's see a

(02:25:57):
hydroponics growing system. This is on Amazon right now. Uh,
let's see just a small, little, tiny one one vertical system.
It's three hundred bucks. Or you could do even there's
another smaller one. Does the thing eight pods indoor herb

(02:26:18):
garden fifty bucks. It will be a great start for
you there, jojo, you can do that.

Speaker 3 (02:26:22):
Um.

Speaker 1 (02:26:23):
There's one that I actually want to look there. There's
like a whole wall kind of one. These are these
cute little I could make a salad, just one salad. Um.
I just want to look at the prices of what
I have to show me all these little ones. So
as I'm looking at this, in the price ranges for
some decent sized ones that you could put in your house,
you're talking about a couple hundred bucks and a couple

(02:26:46):
hundred bucks. It's gonna save you a lot of money
over the years, and you'll be eating fresh food that
you grew yourself right there with your kids. Be amazing,
by the way, and there are a ton of how
to videos with how to make hydroponic kits, which you

(02:27:08):
could do for hell cheaper than these kits that they're
selling on Amazon. I mean there's there's a kit that
I just saw was like seven hundred, eight hundred dollars,
and trust me, for under one hundred dollars you could
do an even better setup by going a Low's. So yeah,
there you go. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, all right,

(02:27:29):
got another take, take one more quick break, We'll be
right back. This is the Brian Rush Show. Good morning, all.

Speaker 5 (02:27:51):
Right, welcome back to the Brian Rush Show.

Speaker 1 (02:27:53):
Merry Christmas to you. I hope you are ready to
have a incredibly blessed Christmas tomorrow. Spend some time with
the family, relaxed a little bit, have some megnog and rum, which,
by the way, Mom, if you're watching the show, grab
some meg. But you know, never mind, I'll get the
eggnog just because I'm a I am a snob about it,

(02:28:16):
and I'll get some good stuff. Yeah, get some rum. Anyhow,
welcome back to the show. So yesterday we were talking
about how last night the Kennedy Center's Honors was aired.
It was the twenty twenty five edition, which ironically was
the forty seventh annual one. Just throwing that out there,

(02:28:39):
and Donald Trump ended up being the host of it,
and we talked about how it would be fantastic to
see that particular awards show have enormous ratings. It would
be great to see it happen. So I checked on it,
and generally it does take a day or two for

(02:29:03):
like the official solid numbers, the yeah we know this
is how many kind of watched it to really come out.
But for some reason, and I don't know why, I
have a couple of guesses, but I'm gonna I'm gonna
go with for some reason, this morning, I cannot find

(02:29:24):
information on the preliminary of the numbers that tuned in
to check it out between CBS and Paramount Plus. Now
here's the thing with Paramount Plus. It is very easy
for them to just go okay and click click click, okay,
how many people downloaded it and watched it? WHOA, that's
a lot of people. And then they do the math

(02:29:45):
about the fact that they say every household would have
x number of people that would be watching it, and
there's an equation that you do that and they go boom,
here's how many people watched it. That's how they do it.
When it comes to the television thing, it takes a
little bit different, little more time because you have the
Nielsen ratings. The Nielsen devices will report and then it

(02:30:05):
takes a second to figure it out, and so it
takes a little while. Just find it odd that this
morning there's no information about it.

Speaker 13 (02:30:17):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:30:17):
A couple of years ago, it was about five or
six million people that watched it. Last year it was
down to about four point one million. And of course
we have seen other award shows throughout the past couple
of years where they're lucky if they broke a million
or two million people to watch the award show. Some
of the honorees that that Donald Trump had honored at

(02:30:37):
the Kennedy Awards that he did sorry, included Sylvester Stallone,
George strait Kiss, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Peter all
of them got it. Gloria Gaynor, Michael Crawford, just a
number of people who had been honored at the Kennedy Center.

(02:30:59):
And again and it was Donald Trump that that actually
did the uh the hosting of it, and Trump had
predicted that it would be the highest rated show in
the show's history, citing not only his involvement but the
lineup as well. So it aired last night, but right

(02:31:22):
now nobody knows, don't know yet. We gotta uh, we
gotta wait for the numbers to come out, and we'll uh,
we'll evaluate them and analyze them to see where we
can trim some numbers and where we could figure or
it'll just be one of those Holy shit, did you
see how many people watched it? This is this is

(02:31:46):
not gonna be good for us in the left because
Donald Trump was the success again and he won and
with the fight to change the name back to just
the John Kennedy Center, Oh, this is gonna be are
a bull. I am looking forward to the numbers, and
I do hope that they actually came out to at

(02:32:07):
least beat last year's. If they can at least beat
last year's, that'll be good. But I'm willing to bet
there there's a lot of people that tuned in just
to see, even if you're an anti Trump person, just
to tune in to be like, all right, is what
is this orange buffoone doing?

Speaker 3 (02:32:23):
Now?

Speaker 1 (02:32:23):
Okay? And they watch it for long enough to register
so I think that's another thing that they're waiting on
the ratings, because with the ratings, there's a couple of
things that they do just to give you a little
insight of This is the same thing with radio radio.
This is the same thing where you have those that
will listen to or watch a show in its entirety,

(02:32:46):
or will will listen to watch something on a regular basis,
and they look at those numbers and they go, Okay,
well there's X number of people that watch this show
as a whole. But then there's also what's basically called
quarter hours, So it's like for every fifteen minutes, which
you know, what's so funny. Saw a video somebody got
so upset because they couldn't understand the time when they

(02:33:08):
said it was quarter after. Oh so it's twenty five after. Seriously,
I saw that and I just I shook my head.
But there's these quarter hours, which basically means if you
watch something or listen to something for upwards of fifteen
minutes or close to the fifteen minutes, then then that
quarter hour will be part of a rating. So I'm

(02:33:30):
willing to bet you right now what they're looking at
is how much they can they can take some of
those quarter hours out by saying, well, you know what,
people tuned in the first quarter hour and they realized
it was so bad that they tuned away. So we're
gonna take those numbers out of the ratings so that
it'll give an overall lower rating number you watch. That's

(02:33:54):
probably what they are working on doing and a reason
for why they have not actually come out with the
preliminary numbers for last night Kennedy Honors Awards hosted by
Donald Trump. So we will see what happens with those numbers.
Maybe it'd be a good Christmas gift for us later
on today when the numbers officially start to come out.

(02:34:17):
Speaking of also some numbers, Nicki Minaj, Nicki Minaj has
she has come out and supported the Turning Point USA,
showed her support for Donald Trump and for JD. Vance
and according to some of the reports now that nick
and Nicki Minaj lost ten million followers on Instagram over

(02:34:39):
the course of about forty eight hours. And of course
the liberals are coming out and they're like, oh my god,
see what happened. They don't like you, And you know what,
sometimes I hate to break this news to you lefties.
Sometimes just having moral values is worth more than a
like and a click and a follow, which, by the way,

(02:35:01):
if you haven't done so, go ahead and click the
like button on the podcast. Sorry, I had to get
that dig in there. But no, now they're the left
is is rather than looking at why why did Nicki
Minaj and again remember that important word, why why did
Nicki Minaj all of a sudden throw support behind Donald Trump?
What is it that she sees that we don't. Instead,

(02:35:24):
in typical leftist fashion, we have to throw some hate
and shade upon her because she came out defending Donald
Trump and MAGA and saying things that were good for
this country, saying things like we should have boys, should
have a good role model, Use Donald Trump, use JD Vans,

(02:35:46):
get a good role model. The fact that she talked
about all these good things that Donald Trump has done,
which again even the Republican Party doesn't do, which they
need to do more of that they attack her. We
must destroy her, you know. On Friday Night, Friday Night,
Nicki Minaj was, She was awesome. She was she was

(02:36:07):
the one of the best female rappers that are out there.
Oh my god, I gotta play me some Nikki right now,
let's let's go Nicki Minaj all over the place. Sunday
she does the the Turning Point in USA, and the
next thing you know, she is now the worst person

(02:36:28):
in the world and she must be punished for it. Okay,
that's how you want to be. I mean, it's it's
not like this is in any way a shock. Like

going to happen. And by the way, she's also an immigrant,

(02:36:52):

that's crazy. Anyhow, good for you, Nicki. By the way,
I'm looking you up right now on your Instagram so
that I can actually follow you because I want to

(02:37:17):
follow you, and I'm just also scrolling through a social
media and I'm just looking at some of the Nicki
Minaja things. All the negativity. There is so much incredible
negativity here from all of these people that are just
bashing on her. These people need to get a life,

(02:37:38):
They really, really truly do need to get a life.
