Good morning, Welcome to the show. Happy Wednesday, Thanks so
much for getting your day started off with us today,
or if you just happen to be watching the replay
of this, thanks for checking us out. Do appreciate it.
How you doing having a good day, Have a good night.
I gotta start off with this. I don't know what's
gotten into me lately. Maybe a missiond call the doctor
on this one. I've actually been getting to sleep lately,

(02:03):
which is weird for me. In the past, like three
or four days, I've gotten like eight hours of sleep
each night. I don't know what's going on. I should
get checked because that is not normal for me. Maybe
I'm not okay. I don't know. Maybe I am just
fighting all the ick that's going around. I don't know.
We got to get back to the normal schedule of
four hours. This is ridiculous. I'm wasting so much time. Anyhow,

(02:24):
Welcome to the show. Thanks for checking us out. Well,
I got to start off the show with this. First off,
Senator Rick Scott's gonna be joining us later on this morning.
On the show, We're going to talk with him about
one of my favorite topics, healthcare. And you know where
I'm gonna get with that one. With healthcare, I'm going
to ask the question, has anybody in Congress stopped to

(02:46):
ask the question of how can we make healthcare more affordable?
Not just insurance, but make health care affordable. I'm gonna
hit Rick Scott with that question. See what he gets
to get for an answer out of him with that.
But he'll be joining us on the seven o'clock hour
later this morning. But I gotta start off with this,
and I am I'm twice to be perfectly honest with

(03:08):
them a little beside myself on the fact that I'm
gonna say this, I'm slightly agreeing with Harry Sisson. I
know you're just as shocked as I am. I when
I when I read his post, I thought to myself, well,
you know what, buddy, you have. You've damn it got
a point, which is something that I've been saying for

(03:29):
a little while. Anyhow, there was last night there was
a special a congressional election in Tennessee in the seventh district,
and it was a tight race. I'm not gonna lie.
It was a tight race for a while. When I
was watching it, I was like, Oh, that's it. Republicans
lost that seat. It's going to a Democrat. It was
a Republican seat. Special election came up with this one,

(03:51):
and there was there was like five or six different
candidates that were in it. Three of them were three
or four of them were independents, and then there as
a Democrat and a Republican. But as I was watching it,
the Democrat was winning and I just thought to myself,
this is this is not good. But in the end,
with about ninety five percent of the votes in, it
was declared that the Republican Matt Van Epps did take

(04:16):
it fifty three point nine percent to forty five percent
of the vote, which the Independents just didn't grab anything.
I mean, if that's if that was all that they
had left, they didn't. They weren't even playing in the game.
But Harry says Son comes on and he points something
out that again I'm agreeing with him on this because
I've been calling it for a while. Maybe Harry's listening

(04:37):
to the show. I don't know that this is a
district that Trump and Republicans won by over twenty points
in twenty twenty four. Now the margin is under ten points.
Republicans may have won this, it may may have won,
but this is a major red flag from MAGA bring
on twenty twenty six. I despise the fact that I'm

(05:00):
agreeing with Harry Sisson, but it's true. It's true the
Republican Party needs to step it up if you are
getting districts like in Tennessee where Donald Trump and Republicans
took it by twenty points and in this special election. Now, granted,

(05:21):
we also have to take into consideration this because Republicans,
I'm gonna say it, you don't get out to vote enough.
This is one of the problems that the Republican Party has,
is that we the Republican voters, don't get out and
vote every time that we're supposed to get out and vote.

(05:43):
The Democrat Party will get their voters out no matter what. Now,
this election could be one of these signs where again
it was a special election, a special election in December
when people are getting ready for Christmas and coming back
from Thanksgiving and not really paying attention to what's going on,

(06:04):
don't have the time to go off and do a
voting for this special election. So it may have been
a situation where Republican voters are like, I don't have
time for this crap right now. I got other things
to do. But this is one of the attitudes and
mindsets that we have got to work on with the
Republican voters. Anytime that there is a special election, anytime

(06:25):
there is a municipal election, anytime that there is a
primary election, you've got to get out and vote because
if you don't, we can risk the chance of losing.
Now coming up in twenty twenty six, and I can
say this for at least the Bay County area where

(06:46):
we were based out of it where I am running
for election, there's multiple elections that are going on. There
is a in April election, the municipal election that'll be happening,
and then there is the prime Marry election that'll be
happening in August, and then there's the general election that'll
be happening in November. Now, one of the things that

(07:07):
we have to keep in mind is that for a
lot of the things that will be on the ballot locally,
like the race that I am in, will most likely
be decided in August. It won't go to November. So
it's one of these things where we've got to remember
to get out and vote. What's that, Michael not working

(07:32):
enough jobs? What do you mean? I'm sure there's probably
something that I just missed on that one. Look, I'm
waking up from eight hours to sleep from groggy. I'm
like a bear coming out of hibernation. But again, this
is one of these things that we've got to do
better as Republicans, and that is getting out the vote.

(07:52):
And in an area like Tennessee, in the seventh district
that the special election was there yesterday, it was a
tent under ten points, under ten points that the Republicans won,
when with Trump and Republicans to twenty twenty four, we
won by over twenty points. Now that can be seen
as two things. One, like I just mentioned that Republicans

(08:17):
just don't get out and vote all the time like
they should. Or two, they're not getting the message out
there enough for Republicans and for other people to want
to vote for Republicans. Either way, both sides are dangerous
and both sides can show how we can lose an election.

(08:37):
And again, the Republican Party is horrible at getting out
the vote. They absolutely are. And maybe it is one
of these things where and I hate to say it
because Republicans, for the most part, we don't really use
emotions and fear, But maybe the Republican Party does need

(08:58):
to kick it up a little bit. And Alan, I
do got my coffee the big I actually I use
the smaller coffee cup today, so I don't know if
I've got quite enough today. This will get me going.
By the time we take a commercial break and I
like down this thing like it's a shot, It'll kick in,

(09:18):
my heart will be raising, and then I'll get riled
up about something. But this is one of the things
that the Republican Party needs to really step up on,
and that is getting them out. And again, maybe we
need to use emotions, Maybe we need to use some fear.
Maybe we need to remind voters that if the Democrats
win the House next year, which right now I'm telling you,

(09:42):
right now, my gut is saying that the Democrats are
going to win the House, not by a huge margin,
and they don't have to win it by a huge margin.
They don't even have to go and grab a whole
bunch of seats. As a matter of fact, this one
in Tennessee, this could have screwed us over even more.
And I would to know what the Republican Party was
doing to make sure that the voters got out. You know,

(10:04):
if the Democrat won the election last night in Tennessee's
seventh district, it would have reduced the majority that the
Republican Party has right now in the House, right now,
not next year, right now, even more. And heaven forbid
that two or three more Republicans retire, pass away, get sick,

(10:28):
whatever it might be, and we lose a couple of
more because this is what we've already had happened. We've
had a couple of Republicans that have had to step
down and get out of the way. If we have
a couple of more and we don't win those reelection
special election seats, we're screwed. We're going to lose the House.
And the Democrats they're smart enough to understand this. They're

(10:50):
smart enough to look and not go after the safe
seats for the Republican Party. They're gonna go after all
of the vulnerable seats. Right now. I can tell you, you know,
things like Byron Donald's seat. You know, the Democrats are
gonna go hard after that because you're not gonna have
an incumbent for that seat. Byron Donalds, who's running for

(11:14):
the governor, is most likely not going to be running
for the congressional race again, and that will be a
very vulnerable seat for the Republicans and the Democrats can
grab it. There's one even and I hate to say this,
but even here in the Panhandle, there's a possibility of

(11:35):
getting a strong Democrat to go after Jimmy Patronis. I
don't think Jimmy Petroni's and I like Jimmy, you know,
I consider him a friend. I think he's a great guy.
I think he's done a great job in office. But
I mean I think he's also in a vulnerable spot.
That's too just in Florida. Here are the freedom state
of Florida, let alone other places that are not thought about,

(11:59):
like the Tech seventh District I mentioned. None of you
even knew that that election was going on yesterday, but
hardly anybody ever even thought about the seventh district in Tennessee.
And all it takes is just a small handful of
seats for the Democrats to win and they take the majority,
and if they take the House, it's gonna be chaos.

(12:22):
I mean, you look at what's going on right now
with all of the claims and all of the bitchet
and wining and moaning that we're getting out of the
Democrats for just absolutely nothing and they've got no control.
Think about what it'll be like if the Democrats have
the control and we have the well, let's take the
Venezuelan boat situation. Right now, we have the Democrats that

(12:47):
are losing their minds over the the the drug boat situation.
And Greg Gutfield yesterday and I think it was on
the five where he said this, and he kind of
put it the best because, yeah, it was on the
five because Jessica Tarloff was spewing her stupidity out of
the Democrat mouth. We're watching the left now attack Donald

(13:11):
Trump and packed attack Pete Hegseeth for the the double strike,
the double tap that happened back in September of the
Venezuelan boath. This is the one where there was the
two survivors that were hanging on the side, they went
back around, they took it out. And now there are
calls for Pete Hagseth to be charged with war crimes.

(13:32):
There are calls for Pete Hegseth to resign. He's got
to get out. Uh. And in addition to that, you
also now have you know all of the calls about
how this was the war crime and this was murder,
and on and on and on. We need to investigate it.
He needs to be impeached, he needs to be removed,

(13:53):
he needs to be charged with All of this stuff
is coming out and for right now all of this is
lip service from the Democrats, but if they were in charge,
they would be taking some serious actions and it would
be chaos. But Greg Guttfield put it well yesterday when
he was slapping back at Jessica Tarlov, and he said,
you know, and I'm paraphrasing a lot of this, that

(14:17):
if we gave the Democrat, if we gave in to
the terrace like the Democrats do, where we did this
strike where we intended to kill them and two people
just happened to have been blown out of the boat, which,
by the way, I'm sure the survivors, because look an
explosion like that, you're not just like the movies where

(14:38):
you're thrown into the air with your arms and legs
foiling everywhere, and then all of a sudden you land
in the water and you're like, oh, and you see
a shark swirling around. You swim over to whatever's left
of the boat and you cling onto it, and next
thing you know, you climb up in there and you're like, who,
I'm safe. I'm sure that they were in some rough shape.
I'm sure that they had limbs that were in bad shape.

(14:59):
I'm sure that they were very badly injured and probably
weren't gonna survive very long anyhow. But as Greg Gutfeldt
was saying, you know, if we had it handled the
situation like the Democrats do, and what the Democrats want
is they think that what we should do is we

(15:19):
should have sent a helicopter out there to rescue the survivors,
because that's what the law says, and this is a
war crime. It's murder that you didn't go off and
get them. But like Greg pointed out, with the way
the Democrats would have done it, and if we followed
along with this, we would have sent a helicopter out.
We would have picked up these terrorists that we were
trying to kill. We would have brought them back to

(15:41):
a boat. We would have given them medical condition or
medical attention. We would have fixed them, put them in
the hospital for a while. We would have brought them
to the United States. We would have put them up somewhere.
We would charge them with a terrorism or whatever, and
then they would get a whole bunch of lawyers, they'd
get whole bunch Democrat to judges that would side with

(16:02):
the person. And then the next thing, you know, these
survivors not only do they they walk free, they will
get paid by America because, oh my god, we're so
sorry that we tried to kill you when you survived.
So we'll pay up millions of dollars to these people.
We'll probably give them citizenship here in the country. And
that's how the Democrats would handle it. Look, here's the

(16:25):
bottom line. They're freaking terrorists. Whether they are intentionally coming
to America to shoot up one of our schools or
shoot up a mall or plant bomb somewhere, or they're
simply bringing drugs into our country, that is still terrorism.
And the bottom line is you have got to put

(16:47):
your foot down and teach people. Donald Trump points it
out that the boat traffic at this point is down
ninety one percent since these boat strikes happen. This is
call reaction. This is what happens when you say, hey,
stop it, and they don't stop it, and then you

(17:07):
slap them around. It's the same thing as the wooden spoon.
You know, you get to that point where you think
you can mess around, and Mom grabs that wooden spoon
and slaps you on your ass. She does that a
couple of times, and then Mom says, don't make me
get the spoon. And what do you do you straighten
out your behavior? Why because you don't want the spoon. Now,

(17:30):
ninety one percent of the traffic that we had seen
with the boats has gone away because it's effective. But
the Democrats don't care. The Democrats want the drugs and
the terrorists to come in. Because you have to understand.
You don't understand, you evil Republicans. These are just struggling
people in Venezuela that are struggling under a horrible society

(17:52):
there and government and the lack of food, and they're
just trying to make a living for themselves. And they're
out there with the fishing boats bringing the drugs to
sell to America so that they can bring money home
to their children. You don't get it. It's time for
us to actually start putting our foot down. It's time
for us to tell our enemies that were not playing
with you anymore. You want to fuck around, you're gonna

(18:15):
find out. And that's exactly what's going on in the Caribbean.
And of course the left is all upset about, you know,
everything going on with Venezuela and the fact that Donald Trump,
oh my god, he's a warmonger. Of course, it was
also not too long ago they were upset because he
wasn't committed to war. And then you can't win with
the Democrats, You really can't. These people are the most

(18:35):
inconsistent people out there on the planet. But you do
have now a lot of Democrats that are out there
that are attacking Pete Hagsath, and you have Senator Mark
Kelly who's one of them, who is kind of taking
the lead on attacking Pete Haggsath and Donald Trump over
the Venezuela boat thing. But I got a question for

(18:56):
Senator Kelly spaceboy, are you when Biden was droning people,
including children? Where was your outrage? Where was your outrage
when Biden was droning children? But now the fact that
President Trump is out there attacking people who are coming

(19:20):
towards our country with drugs, with terrorists on board these boats,
and we take them out, and it's the worst thing
in the world. They see. This is another example of
how the Democrats don't care about American citizens. They don't
care about our safety, they don't care about our sovereignty.
All they care about is the foreigners and those that
are going to come to our country to destroy it.

(19:44):
Senator Murphy from Connecticut, Chris Murphy, this guy, what an
idiot he is. Look, I'm from Massachusetts. I know a
lot of people from Connecticut, and there are smarter people
in Connecticut than Chris Murphy. Come on, Connecticut, you could
do better. I mean, you really can. But he was
on CNN's out Front and he said that the Secretary

(20:05):
of War Pete Hegseth, must resign or President Trump should
fire him over the follow up strike on a drug
boat in the Caribbean, the one that happened back in September. Second,
this is the one that everybody's upset about. And he
said that Pete Hegseth has to go, he has to resign.
Donald Trump has to fire him if he doesn't resign.
He is a walking, talking national security embarrassment. And I

(20:27):
think it is really disturbing that you don't have more
Republicans speaking out and saying that it's time for him
to go. Because of course, this is just the latest
in a series of embarrassments. There's all sorts of reports
from the very beginning of the year that morale is low,
that there is disorder at the Department of Defense, Department
of War. By the way, Senator, I don't know if you,

(20:49):
but whatever he's hiring his political coronis, he seems to
care more about body shape and facial hair than he
does about the security of the country. And now these
really serious allegations of really disturbing and immoral behavior by
the Secretary, it is time for him to go. And
then he added on to that that both the Republicans

(21:09):
and Democrats are coming to the conclusion that this was
an illegal, wildly immoral act, and that he's shifting the
blame in its opposite of the buck stops here. Well,
you know, one of the things that he's saying with
the shifting of the blame is in the Secretary of
War did say this in the meeting, is that you know, yeah,

(21:31):
he was there for the attack. He was watching the
attack boatwin, boom, fire, smoke, everything's out there, and he
was like, Okay, that's done. I got a meeting, I
gotta go do and he went to go away. The
order was to attack and kill. That was the order.

(21:52):
Smoke starts to clear. Oh crap, there's some people still there. Well,
you know what, let's go back around and hit him again.
The order was take him out. I mean, what do
you want? I mean, this is kind of how war
goes when when you attack the terrace, you attack the enemy,

(22:12):
and you turn around and you're like, Okay, our intent
is to kill them, not to scare them, not to
make the poop the pants, to kill them. So we
go in, we strike, We kill a bunch of them,
A couple of them get away. What do you do
you go after the couple of them that got away.
We saw this under Obama, we saw this under bib

(22:33):
We've seen this under all the presidents when we've had war.
It's just finishing the job. The job was to take
them out. Sorry that these people had to come for
a round number two. But you know what, if maybe
you were not doing something bad, maybe things would change.

(22:54):
And you know what, even if it is being classified
like officially classified, if you if you break it all
down by the law, that this is some sort of
a war crime, you know what, it's time to take
some of the war crimes that we have and reevaluate them.
Because the bleeding hearts that come out of the people
that have written a lot of these things don't understand

(23:15):
the reality of war, don't understand how to deliver a
message and don't understand how to defeat an enemy. These
bleeding hearts of like oh my goodness, like again, like
I mentioned, with that explosion to the boat, I can
almost guarantee you that those two quote unquote survivors were
not in good shape, and that if we did race

(23:38):
in there to save them, they would never be the
same anyhow. They would probably lose a limb. They may
not even have made it due to a lack of
blood that they were losing during the whole thing. They
may have even gotten hit by a shark by the
time we got a helicopter out there, because they were
bleeding so bad. Again, you take the consequences of your actions,

(23:58):
and if you're going to be someone who is going
to do some illegal behavior, is gonna go after the Americans,
And if you're gonna be in terroristed, expect the results.
Expect the fact that you're gonna get wiped off the
face of the earth one way or another. And if
we miss, we're gonna come back and get you again.
And this is nothing unusual. We have done this all

(24:21):
the time in war. You can go back through all
of the wars and you would see where we make
a strike on something. We don't make a strike to
just well, if we can get a few of them, Okay, no,
we're taking them out. And that's what happened. But again
the left losing their ever loving minds when it comes

(24:41):
to the fact that we turned around and we struck
the boat again to ensure that everybody was killed on that.
But you didn't use the sensitivity and you were messing
this all up. And Michael goodpoint on this too that
terrorists don't conform to the Geneva Convention. And you know, well,

(25:02):
here's the other problem too, when you want to talk
about the Caneva Convention. The Geneva Convention is something that
only the United States, and this is something that has
been proven multiple times over the past several decades. The
United States of America are really the only ones that
pretty much adhere to the Geneva Convention. Nobody else really does.

(25:25):
Look at all the things Canada did. Hell, half of
the Geneva Convention is because of Canada, but we're the
only ones that wouldhere to it. And look at where
we're at right now. We are we're being attacked, we're
being infiltrated. You know, we we lose these battles left
and right, and why because you have to adhere to

(25:46):
the Geneva Convention, because it's only humane to do that.
And oh my goodness, in the in the the whole
idea of war, that you would actually kill the bad
guy that's trying to kill you, You don't understand. He's
just trying to do his job. Sorry, sorry with them,
you missed. We're really kind of hoping to take you

(26:06):
out the first time. But don't worry, we'll finish the job.
And maybe it is time for the United States to
reevaluate the Geneva Convention. Maybe it is time for us
to step back and go all right, look, yeah, there's
a lot of things in there that make sense, but
when the enemy is not adhering to it, and terrorists don't,

(26:28):
there is nothing that terrorists have done that conforms with
the Geneva Convention. So why should we do it? When
you attack us violating that convention? Why should we step back?

Speaker 4 (26:41):
Go?

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Well, you know, hang on here on page number four,
over here, sub section eight, it says, oh my god,
we're so sorry that we didn't kill you the first time,
that we should give you a refuge and we should
go rescue you and give you everything under the screw
it and why shouldn't in the United States of America
be literally the only country that adheres to the Geneva

(27:05):
Convention to the letter to stop. It is time for
us to protect our country, and it is time for
us to just say enough is enough and do what
is absolutely necessary to do to just stop all of this.
But you have these Democrats right now who are desperate,

(27:25):
and again this is one of the problems of the
Republican Party. You've got to get out there and start
countering this message or you're going to lose because the
Democrats are finding anything and everything that they can to
slam on Republicans. You have to vote for us Democrats
because Republicans are dangerous. They are so dangerous that when

(27:46):
they miss the enemy that they were trying to kill,
who's trying to come and kill us, they went and
kill them again. This is dangerous. You don't understand how
bad it is. Think about how scared those people were
clinging to the remnants of the boat in the ocean
as the sharks were coming around, and here comes America again,

(28:08):
and they struck them again and blew them up. When
they were suffering the problem with that argument is that
there's so many Democrats that'll be like, oh my god,
Donald Jump is such a mean man. Of course, these
will also be the same Democrats that will be so
upset when their child dies of a drug overdose. That

(28:29):
will be so upset that, you know, there was another
mass shooting somewhere where somebody from Somalia or Venezuelan gang
comes in and shoots a place up. They'll be so
upset about it. We don't want to hear your thoughts
and prayers. We want gun control, Well, how about terrorist control?
You want all this gun control to stop all this stuff.

(28:51):
Let's go to the root cause, let's take care of
the people that want to come in and hurt you.
Oh my god, you can't do that. You can't do
that until you didn't do that, and then it directly
affects them, and then they get upset. One of the
things that the Republican Party also needs to do is
grow a set of balls and stand up to the
Democrats and look at them to their eyes, look at

(29:13):
them right in the face, and say which would you prefer.
Would you prefer that I kill the drug dealers in terrorists? Now?
Or should I wait until your daughter, your son, your husband,
your mother, your brother, your neighbors, your loved ones, that
they're dead. And once they're dead, then we should take
some action. But we should also make sure that we

(29:34):
adhere to the Geneva Convention, and we also shouldn't torture
them at all, and we should make sure that they
get the proper representation and make sure that they're fed right,
to make sure that they're in good conditions. And then
when they do get convicted of it, we got to
make sure that we do the nice things. We should
just return them to their home country. Stop being a
bunch of sissies. It is time to grow a set,

(29:56):
defend our nation and defend everybody in this country, regardless
to whether you're a retarded liberal, or if you're a
conservative or a wild church going person, or if you're
a Tim Walls, who's standing there going everybody. We got
to defend everyone, and we can't do it with this
attitude that the left has napalm the boats. I like

(30:18):
that IDEAICKI, However, you know what I would love to see.
I don't know if anybody who's watched these things, and
what's scary is China actually has this weapon too. There
is like this kinetic energy thing where it's not like
a missile or anything, it's just it's energy. And to
watch what that thing does. China did a test. Wasn't
China that did a test. I think it was China

(30:40):
that just did a test on something and there was
like a structure that they hit it with this kinetic thing.
Structure was there and you see this, wow, this big
light comes flashing out and structure's gone. I was like, damn.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
That.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
And if you want to really think about this too,
with the power of the American military and what we
are capable of doing, there was I want to say
it was like Sweden. Maybe Sweden or Switzerland or one
of those like Nordic countries. They had a boat that
was part of a NATO exercise. And I don't know
if anybody's seen some of these videos. There was a

(31:15):
video and again it might have won. One of the
Nordic submarines too that was able to do this. But
there's two videos that are out. There's the submarine that
torpedo to boat and when you see that boat get
hit by the torpedo, damn. But there was another one
there was some sort of a cannon that was on
the boat where they launched something at this boat and

(31:36):
to watch the reaction to the boat. These are things
that our allies have for weapons. Can you just imagine
what we've got. But again, it is time to deliver
the fa part of all of this, and if the
Democrats don't like it, we've got to stand up to them,
and we've got it correct it. You know, we've got

(31:57):
to call people like Mark Kelly out and ask the question,
which do you prefer? Do you prefer that we kill
the enemy over there or should we wait here until
they kill us and then we take some action, And
of course we know the action. It's all just coddling them.
We got to stop. We got to grow grow a set.
And again, Republicans need to get out and vote. Absolutely

(32:21):
need to get out and vote. There's municipal elections that
will be coming up in April for a lot of
areas here in the state of Florida and for some
other areas as well. Get out and vote because if
you don't get out and vote, you never know who
you're going to end up having as your elected leaders
in your town. And this is one of the things

(32:41):
that our enemies and the Democrats know how to fundamentally
change America. You're doing it. You get Maama Donna in
New York City, you get dearborn Michigan. You get the
new city that they're trying to do in Texas, you
get the Twin Cities, you know that type Bavaria. You
get these people in there Los Angeles. Karen Bass, she's

(33:04):
a communist. Nobody's calling her out. Nobody is coming out
and telling the people of LA you know, hey, look,
I know you want free stuff, but this is not
the way to go for it. This is the dangers
of communism. This is who your person is. Republicans didn't
do anything. They didn't do anything to ensure that Mamadani

(33:28):
didn't get elected, didn't do anything to make sure that
Karen Bass didn't get elected. They didn't do anything. And
these are municipal elections where these cities are fundamentally changed
and fundamentally being flushed down the toilet by these people.
And if you think that the Democrats and our enemies

(33:50):
don't see that that's the best way of doing it,
they're doing it. It is a wonderful Wiener Wednesday, And
I guess in that that sense of Wien or Wednesday.
This is an example of us being screwed by a
different type of Wiener and we've we've got to stand up.
We got to prevent this from happening. And this is
why it's so important to get out and do voting.

(34:13):
And again, like here in in Florida, especially here in
Bay County, with the election that that I am am
running in. I know that there's a couple of people
that are considering jumping into the race, and if that happens,
that election will be decided in August, not November, unless
there's a Democrat or an independent. But I can't imagine
that would happen here in Bay County, Florida, because they

(34:34):
never win, so there's no sense in even doing it.
But it'll be August that will be deciding who's gonna
who's gonna be in charge of the county, who's who's
going to be your leaders in the county. So you
got to get out and vote. It is so important.
I know it's frustrating sometimes for some people because you know,
for us on the right, we have this thing called jobs. Democrats.

(34:55):
They they they have the ability to to not work
all the time, and they get that voter base out there.
They pay him to do it, whatever they got to do,
bribe them to do it. We have got to do
the same thing. We've got to get out vote. This
is another reason why early voting is so so important.
And the mail in voting it's not trustworthy. I do
not trust mail in ballots at all, even with our

(35:19):
elections here in Bay County, which I fully trust our authorities.
You know, I always loved Mark Anderson. He did a
great job as our supervisor elections. Nina Ward is a
prodigy of Mark and she is absolutely amazing. The team
at the Supervisor of Elections office here is amazing team.
I mean it really is. I've had the privilege of

(35:43):
getting the inside of it, and now being a candidate,
I also get a little bit more into it than
I did before. And you see it, and they're great
and I have no worries about them doing their job correctly.
But when it comes to mail in ballots, there are
so many dangers when it comes to that. Get your
ass up and do some voting. It's very crucial for

(36:04):
that to happen. All right, we got to take a
quick break. We'll be right back This is the Brian
Rush Show, don't forget. Coming up later on this morning,
Rick Scott's gonna be joining us. We're gonna talk to
him about some of the healthcare issues that are going on.
And yes, I'm gonna ask him the question, is anybody
looking into actually the cost of healthcare and not just
trying to get everybody insured? Hang on, we'll be right back.

(36:38):
All right, Welcome back to wiena Wednesday here on the
Brian Rush Show. Thanks so much for checking us out today.
Do appreciate it. Again. Coming up to seven o'clock hour,
Senator Rick Scott from the state of Florida's gonna be
joining us. We're gonna talk with him about his op
end but that he's got in Fox News talking about
Obamacare in the ACA and how it has actually failed.

(37:00):
So we're going to talk with him a little bit
about healthcare. That is something that he does have a
little bit of knowledge about, even though there's the controversy
behind his background when it comes to healthcare. But Rick
Scott's somebody who owned hospitals at one point in time,
so he does have a little bit of a knowledge
when it comes to that. And again, the question that
I'm going to ask him, is is there anybody in Washington,

(37:24):
d C. That is actually looking at the root cause
of why healthcare is so expensive, and that being the
cost of health care. Because every answer that we see
to healthcare in America is insurance. Whether it's left or right,
the answer is always we got to do insurance. We
got to come up with we got to come up
with better insurance. We got to make sure that people

(37:45):
are insured. That's not the answer. It's a band aid
fix for some things, but it's not the answer and solution.
We have got to fix the actual health care system.
How do we make it so that one there is
profit that is made because let's face it, we're in
a capitalistic environment. Hospitals, most of them are in a

(38:12):
profit based kind of system, so they want to make profit.
There's publicly traded companies where people need to make their
money back for investing in it. Even the nonprofit hospitals
still need to make money so that they have money
to grow and to fix and to do what they
need to for expansions. So there's got to be a

(38:33):
making of money in the healthcare. So how do we
reduce it so that it costs less that's one of
the questions. I'm an opposed to the Senator coming up
later on this morning when we do have him on
the show and speaking of healthcare. Another one of the

(38:53):
failed attempts from the Democrats with trying to get Donald
Trump donald Trump's health that's failing. They've been spending the
past two weeks talking about Donald Trump's health and how
horrible it is and what is he hiding with the MRI.
And when Donald Trump released the MRIN, we talked about
this yesterday. The MRI came out clean, clear nothing. You

(39:18):
have Tim Wallas who comes out and he's like, I
don't know of anybody who doesn't know why an MRI
is being done, which is bs. You go talk to
some MRI technicians and I bet you anything. MRI technicians
can tell you how many times, probably just in a day,

(39:38):
that they see a patient that has no idea why
they're coming in to get an MRI. And it even
still when and if you've never had an MRI, and
I've had multiple MRIs in my lifetime, you know it's
not one of those things where and I've had MRIs
done on my abdomen, you know, with the kidney issues,

(39:59):
and other things that the go on, so you know
that happens, and when you get slid into the machine,
if you don't really truly know what's going on. And
most people have no idea what's really going on with
an MRI. Unfortunately for me, I've been dealing with health
issues all my life, so I know more about this
stuff than probably the average Joe. And even when I
go in there, you get in there and you slide

(40:21):
under it, and I know it's my abdomen. I mean,
it's that far from my brain. My head is still
under the thing. And if I didn't know any better
of where the actual thing is and where it's actually
being done. And again I'm somebody who asked more questions,
it's very easy to go. I don't know what they
were scanning. The doctor said that we needed to do
an MRI for a problem that I was having, and

(40:42):
I was in the machine and it did head to toe,
it was back and forth with me and stuff, and
I don't know. I don't know what I did. Most
people are like that. Tim Wallas is just such a
moron though, that he's got to open his mouth just
to slam on Donald Trump. But the MRI came out
it was being done on basically his art and his abdomen.
And again not a secret because the White House has said,

(41:05):
you know, yes that and d boy, you could probably
remind me what it was at c CAV cv A,
cv I, whatever the heck it was. It was basically
the artery deal with his legs. And they've been treating
him on this and obviously he's sitting down a lot
more so that that is probably part of his treatment
as well. There's nothing wrong with Donald Trump. Yes, is

(41:30):
he declining a little bit?

Speaker 4 (41:31):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (41:31):
Yeah, I mean he's seventy nine eighty years old. Of
course he's gonna decline a little bit. It's just it
is what it is. But he is not in any
way incapable of doing his job. As a matter of fact,
I love this too, the claims. And of course our
boy hairbear los to be. Oh Donald Jump is falling

(41:53):
asleep in meetings. And again he's not falling asleep, He's
just closing his eyes like we all do. The White
House just released some of the the Oval Office logs now,
so you understand when it comes to the president's movement,
everything is logged. Everything is logged about the president's movement.

(42:15):
You can you can look at the logs. C v
I thanks, thanks the chronic venos. I'm not even gonna try.
It's cv I the vans. When it comes to the
President of the United States, every bit of movement that
he does is tracked. You. You can see the logs.
You'll see the logs and it'll say Monday, December one.

(42:39):
At six hundred, the wake up call was made to
the president. President is awake. At seven oh one, uh,
Secret Service agents have now escorted the President into the
elevator and he is now down to the first floor.
At seven oh six, he entered the Oval Office, and

(43:02):
at seven eight, so and so was in the office.
The briefing happened at this point, At this time, this happened.
And the whole thing is everything is logged with the president,
who comes into the Oval Office, who leaves the Oval Office.
At eleven oh five, Donald Trump exited the Oval Office

(43:23):
to use the restroom. Donald Trump returned to the restroom
at eleven ten, and Donald Trump did not return to
the Oval Office and said he returned to the side office.
Every single movement of Donald Trump and every president is logged.
Guess who's working twelve hours a day logged. Yeah, President Trump,

(43:47):
twelve hours. The man is seventy nine years old and
he's working according to the logs. Now, remember the logs
are from residents to residence, So when he leaves the residence,
it is logged, When he returns to the residence it
is logged. What he does in the residence is not logged.

(44:11):
And we know that Donald Trump is up at two
o'clock in the morning making phone calls, up at two
o'clock in the morning, texting two o'clock in the morning,
posting something on true Social So the twelve hours is
him from the residence back to the residence as twelve
hours of working. Joe Biden, if you go back and

(44:32):
you look at some of the schedules and logs for Biden,
he was showing up at eleven o'clock in the morning,
he was coming down from the residence at eleven o'clock
in the morning. He would be down for an hour,
and then he'd have lunch for an hour, then he'd
have a meeting or two and then by two three

(44:53):
o'clock in the afternoon, they're putting a cap on it
and boom off to the residence. He goes again. This
was a regular occurrence with Joe Biden, and yet Donald
Trump does twelve hour days and they're all like Donald
Trump is his health is declining, and he's not doing anything,
and he's falling asleep everywhere. When you're working twelve hours

(45:13):
a day, you have a tendency. Look I my hours,
and I've told you this before. I, on average, I
do about seventeen hours a day. That is what my
average day is. And there are times where I get
tired and I will stop it. I'll just be like couse,
my AA's for a second. And then next thing, I know,
somebody because in my office, I'm like, okay, what But

(45:38):
they're so upset and now they don't have anything because
again they're releasing the logs, they release the MRI. What
do you got nothing? And this is something that occurs
over and over again when it comes to the left,

(45:59):
when with Donald Trump, they will attack him and attack
him and attack him. It's like, somebody put this best.
It was like throwing throwing things at a velcrow wall
just just to see what would stick. That's what the
Democrats do. They continually throw things at that velcrow wall
to see what's gonna stick so that they can slam
on Donald Trump. Was that, Ricky, You're over seventy and

(46:20):
Trump has done more in one year than I've seen
out of another president. Yeah, I mean you think about
think about all the stuff that Donald Trump has accomplished.
And granted, he's got a fantastic team that's behind him,
so it's not just all Donald Trump, but he's the
leader of this ship. He has done more in in
the the ten months, eleven months, whatever we're at now,

(46:43):
then Joe Biden did in the entire four years. I mean,
in the first six months he did more than Joe
Biden did in the four years. He walked around more
than Joe Biden did in the in the four years
that he was there. And again, they just have to
slam on them, slam on them with no evidence. And

(47:05):
that's the other problem is that the left can't stand
it when they come in with their emotional attacks and
yet they have absolutely no fact to back up what
they do or what they claim. And then all of
a sudden, you know, they got nothing and they got
to come up with something else. Just scanning through some

(47:27):
social media, just saw this in my new punching bag,
Doctor rita deed, capitalism is a failed concept. Time to
accept communism or socialism. Both have worked flawlessly in the
past and is the only way forward. Jesus man, how
can by the way, doctor ried a deed, you absolute

(47:51):
freaking moron that you are. If capitalism is such a
failed concept, how is it that you are posting that
comment on something that is falls under capitalism, you know x,

(48:11):
something under the capitalistic system of a person coming up
with a concept to a business, providing a business and
making a little bit of profit off of it. And
here you are on that platform that is a direct
result of capitalism talking about how it's a failed concept
and it's time to accept communism and or socialism both

(48:35):
have worked flawlessly in the past and it is the
only way forward. How can you be this retarded? I mean, seriously,
this is a woman with a doctorate degree. Granted it's
and gender studies, but obviously you're not that dumb of
a person if you're able to. But apparently you are.

(48:58):
And like we said yesterday, very easy examples in today's
society and that the world that we are living in
today to prove that socialism and communism doesn't work you
need something here in America. Fine, Los Angeles. Show me
how it's working New York City. Show me how it's

(49:21):
working in New York City. It's not now the thing
that I do love, And there's some independents who do
this too. And I got into an argument with somebody
about this once before that the American system, the American
capitalist system, the constitutional republic that we are, has elements
of socialism in it. Okay, yeah it does. It doesn't

(49:45):
make a socialist though.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
Now.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
The elements that we're taught that they're talking about is
things like, well, you know, the government taxes the people,
and then they build roads or they provide schools. Those
are government provided. It's like, are we going to really
divide it down to that level? But the left will,
they will divide it down to say, well, you know,

(50:09):
the government, they're the ones who tax us, and they
give us things like police and fire, they give us education,
they give us the actual schools, and then there's the military.
And then they pave the roads and then they put
down pipes so that we can go poop and flush
it down the drain and it takes care. That's all socialism.
It's all socialism because it's taken care of by the government. No, no,

(50:36):
it's not socialism. Now here's the thing. And this is
one of these things that I love to argue because
when people say that government is even you get you
get a lot of independence. Who will do this as well?
That will jump in the whole thing where we don't
need any government at all. No, you do. There is
no society on the existence of this earth passed that

(51:01):
didn't survive for it for hour long that they lasted
without a government structure of some sort. You just can't
do it. You can't be free will doing whatever you want.
I mean, look, can you imagine if we could just
do anything that we want it would be it would

(51:22):
be a disaster. You need to have structure. I mean,
it's it's just a reality of life. It's like a
child and a baby. A child and a baby is
not going to develop and grow up into being a productive,
decent adult grown up if they don't have structure in
their life. They're better people when they're structure in their life.

(51:45):
They're smarter people when they're structure in their life. They're
less likely to be violent criminals when there's structure in
their life. So you have to have that, But for
these idiots on the left to go out there and
try to push that capitalism a failed concept. And of
course how are they doing this. They're grabbing their iPhone capitalism,

(52:06):
They're posting it on X capitalism. They're going off and
they're going to Walmart or Michael's or wherever, and they're
buying a poster board and paint so that they can
protest capitalism. They're going off and they're changing their hair color.
Where'd you get the hair color? I got it over

(52:27):
there at Sally's Capitalism. What are you drinking over there?
I'm taking a Starbucks la te. Oh my god. Oh
that's great. Capitalism. Everything that you do in your life
is a direct result of capitalism. So how are you
so stupid to be able to come out and be
like capitalism is a failed concept? Really? Why? Because some

(52:53):
people aren't successful. Here's the thing about capitalism. Capitalism gives
you the opportunity to be as successful as you want
to be. If I want to be lazy, and if
I just want to I just want to work my
fast food job and get my little bit of money
and you know, just kind of live off of that,

(53:15):
then so be it. That's that's my choice. I can
do that if I want to go off and start
a business and I want that business to be successful.
And by the time I'm done with reaching the success
of my business, I've got a boat and a million
dollar house and vacation homes here and there and driving
a fancy car. That's because of capitalism. Under socialism and communism,

(53:38):
you can't do that. You can't say I want to
be wealthy. Oh Michael, don't go down that road. Unders socialism,
only fans would be banned. Oh yeah, can you imagine
all these people wouldn't be able to make their money.
But there's just everything in life is as a director

(54:00):
result of everything that's happy in your life and you're
able to do is because of capitalism. The apartment that
you're living in, the house that you're living in, all
the stuff that you've decorated it with, that's capitalism. But
these people on the left are so stupid they don't
understand and under communism and under socialism, it is not

(54:25):
good for anybody. And how is that the only way forward?
I mean, I don't know about you, but for me,
I don't want to rely on somebody else to determine
whether or not I can eat. I don't want somebody
else to determine what type of a job I must do,

(54:50):
and under capitalism and socialism, that's what happens. No, I'm sorry,
you have to go work in this factory because this
is what we need done. But I don't want to
go work in that factory. I want to go start
my own business. No, you can't because you're not an
olive art So therefore you have got to You got
to do what we tell you. It's for the good
of the of the collective. What I don't get really

(55:17):
seriously on a mental level, is how people develop this
attitude about things like capitalism and socialism. It's like, at
what point in your life where did it go wrong?
And again, this is somebody and we're not just talking
about the average Joe. We're actually talking about a person
with a doctorate degree albeit gender studies, and still doesn't

(55:43):
know the difference between a man and a woman. But
where did you go wrong? I mean, at what point
did that click in? Because again we have to find
the root cause. We got to find the root cause.
And I think a lot of us know where it is.
It's all in schools. But today I don't think it
is just college, you know, it's so much more. I

(56:05):
think it's gotten further down the line, and we're now
down to the elementary schools where they are they're learning
this type of behavior, and of course they're learning from
this type of behavior because so many of the teachers
were the students of this type of attitude. And again,
how do you take down America? You just draw them
from within. What we're seeing with the destruction of America

(56:29):
right now is not dropping bombs on us. It's a
million slices. And the million slices are more and more
of these doctor Rita Deeds who are dumb enough to
think that capitalism is a failed concept and that the
only way that we can go forward is to have
communism and socialism. And like I said yesterday, when it

(56:49):
comes to the communism and socialism, I think a lot
of those on the left that are calling for it,
they don't understand the concept between I'm getting free stuff
right now and socialism and communism. Yes, I'm getting four
thousand dollars a month in food stamps so I don't
have to work. I'm getting government housing so I don't

(57:12):
have to work. The government is paying for my student
loans so I don't have to work. The government is
giving me a couple thousand dollars a month so I
can go get things done. I had another kid, so
I'm getting more money out of this. By the way,
it's great because look at my nails. They're awesome. I
got that paid for by the EBT card. They think
that this is what communism and socialism is because government

(57:35):
provided them. But maybe it's time that more people wake
up and take a look at what's going on at
places like Cuba. It's ninety miles off the coast of America.
See how life is over there, especially when you're ready
for this you disagree with the government. Try that in

(57:55):
communism and socialism. Try coming out and telling the lead
of your country, who is, by the way, not doing
good things. Donald Trump doing a lot of good things
for everybody in blue cities and blue states, and they
attack him. Now, imagine if if the president of the
United States, in this communist, socialist environment that we're in,

(58:19):
that when we turn that way, that he decides, okay, well,
there's going to be no more coffee because I don't
like coffee, and you can't have Starbucks anymore. I am
issuing an order to close all Starbucks restaurants. Well, you
can't do that. You can't do that because we want
our Starbucks coffee. Sorry, excuse me. You said what to me?

(58:41):
You do understand under communism and socialism? I tell you
what to do and you bow down and say thank you, sir?
Can I have another? And if you're not going to
have that attitude, we're going to lock you up in
some goolog somewhere because you don't have the freedom to
mouth off to me. You're a president, so back off,
peasant boy. They would be in for a world of

(59:03):
hurt if that ended up being the case where they
finally got a taste of exactly what capital or what
socialism and communism actually is. They don't get it. They
simply don't get it because they are uneducated. Was that
Bernie is the only rich socialist? I don't know. I

(59:25):
think there's a lot of other socialists that are rich
out there. And to be honest with you, I think
Bernie Sanders he's not. I don't. I don't really think
he's a socialist. I think he's just a moucher. He's
a moucher who has realized how to do it and
how to play the game, which is what he's done
all along. I mean, the man's never had a job

(59:47):
before in his life. He has lived off of government.
So he is just a moucher. I mean, if he
was really truly a socialist, then he would be standing
in those bread line and he would be paying for
those breadlines with all that money that he got. Instead,
he's driving around in his fancy car. Which, man, how
do you get that? Oh yeah, you get that car

(01:00:08):
through capitalism, because somebody invented a business to design this car,
build this car, and sell this car to you, which
you decided to buy. Huh. So I don't think it
makes it. I don't think it makes it. Bernie Sanders
a very good socialist. He tries to spread all this
because again it's all about power. It's about power and control.

(01:00:30):
And I think that Bernie he wants it. He wants it,
and so doesn't so many of the of the other Democrats.
They want that power and control over You. Don't argue
with me. I tell you what to do. That's how
it works. We need to educate him a little bit more,
and honestly, I think that we should also be giving

(01:00:51):
free trips away, free trips to Venezuela. As a matter
of fact, we will help you even fill out the
citizenship application to move to Venezuela or move to a
place like Cuba. By the way, if it is so

(01:01:14):
fantastic in places like Sweden, why won't they let anybody
move there? You know why places like Sweden won't let
you move there. Sweden, Switzerland, these countries that are examples
of socialism, they know that if they had more people

(01:01:35):
that were living in their area, they could not afford
the socialist stuff that they do in their country. One
of the things they won't admit to. And this is
another reason for why it doesn't work in America. You
got three hundred and sixty million people plus here in
the country, and there's no way that you can raise
enough money in taxes by tasking us sixty percent of

(01:01:57):
our pay everybody to be able to pay for the
services that they give you. And that's how it works.
In these Nordic countries. They have small populations, so the
expense to do the stuff is small, but they still
tax you at like sixty percent rate. And those Nordic

(01:02:18):
countries know that if they opened up their borders and
they opened up immigration to their nations. They would have
to change systems and they couldn't be socialists anymore because
it doesn't work with a lot of people. Russia, it
failed why because you had too many people, too many people,

(01:02:39):
not enough resources. So the only way that socialism will
ever work, Ricky, because they know we'll steal the Swedish girls.
Damn right, we would. I'm telling you, I'm not gonna lie.
Hmm yep. But that's how it works for these Nordic countries.

(01:03:00):
Small population, small expense. So it's a horrible example when
when you hear the left talk about that's the way
we need to be. Well, if you want to be
that way, we need to reduce our population by about
two hundred million people if not more, for socialism to
work here in America. Otherwise it's just not going to

(01:03:23):
all right, we got to take a quick break. We'll
be right back. This is the Bride Rush Show. Good morning,

(01:03:48):
all right, welcome back to our Wader Wednesday. Here are
the Brian Russhell. Thanks so much for checking us out, Kirk.
That's a good point. That's why COVID was four was
to depopulate the world and it failed, and of course
we know the reason why it failed capitalism. Capitalism. It
failed because we were able to get medicines and things
that we needed to fight COVID and we won, by

(01:04:15):
the way. Some more, some more breaking news for you
ready for this one, And thank you doctor Rita Deed
for pointing this one out. It's fantastic and I'm trying
to look at it and it kind of looks like
it's a little photo shop, but I'm not sure. It
may not be, it might be real. But apparently on
the little table tent at the two and a half
hour long press conference that happened yesterday at the White House. Jesus,

(01:04:38):
it's cold that I took my shirt off, well not
my full my jacket off. I thought it was gonna
be cold as hell in the studio and put this
bag on the little table tent for that announces who
everybody is. Pete Hegsas had two s's and secretary so
as doctor Reid A. Deed puts it, Holy shit, Pete

(01:05:00):
Hegseth is a confirmed Nazi. SS. That's no mistake. Fuck
this Nazi. Oh my god. Now if it was a typo,

(01:05:20):
then somebody should be like, how did you not double
check that? But a Nazi because there's two s's there,
Doctor Rita. You're somebody with a doctorate degree, so obviously

(01:05:41):
you know how to study so that you could pass
your ridiculousness on gender studies. You know that there's so
much information out there in the world today about Nazi Germany,
about the Nazi SS that goes into extensive details about

(01:06:03):
who they were, what they did, what they stood for.
It does not take that long. You could watch a
forty five minute video forty five minute long video on
YouTube and walk away smarter about the Naziss than you
were before you started. Can you point out some behaviors

(01:06:26):
of Pete Haigseth that confirms that he's a Nazi, I
mean a typo. I wouldn't exactly say that that is
a I wouldn't say that that's a sign that he's
a Nazi. It's confirmed. There's two s's two of them.
He's got to be a Nazi, now, Oh, I mean,

(01:06:48):
I would have thought that behaviors would have been a
confirmation of Pete haig Seth being a Nazi. See, but
I'm I guess I'm wrong. If there's a typo on
a on a table tent that has somebody's you know,

(01:07:10):
a title, that he's a secretary of War, that he
is there you there, you go, he's a Nazi. That
proves it. I mean, who are we to argue? I mean, look,
this woman, she's educated, she's got a doctorate degree. Do
you have a doctorate degree? I don't have a doctorate degree.
So if if this intelligent, doctorate degree person is out

(01:07:34):
here telling us that he's not, he must be a Nazi.
All the education that I had, you know, with with
with knowing what a Nazi is, I I guess I
was wrong. I guess I was. I was learning the
wrong stuff and I just needed to know that as
long as it says that on a table tent, then
it confirms that you're a Nazi. You don't have to

(01:07:56):
act like one, you don't have to do the things
that a Nazi he does. You just have to have it.
But then again, I mean, look, we're taking the words
of a of a libtard who goes out there and says,
I'm a boy, but you have a you got the

(01:08:17):
You're you're a Taco Tuesday. You're not a Wiener Wednesday. No,
you're you're not a boy. Yes I am, because I
said I am. Oh, so since you said you are,
you must be, so I guess it's the same concept
I said. It is that you know. There you go, Yeah, indeed,
boy Nazi equals national socialist. Well, but what you don't understand.

(01:08:39):
You don't understand is that that the the it's it's
different because here in America when we when we do socialism,
it's it's it's different because we're we're democrat democratic socialist,
not national socialist. We're democrat socialists. So it's a different thing.

(01:09:02):
You don't know what you're talking about, Dean boy. You
don't have a doctorate, like like I do. Stop with
your hate. Somebody somebody goes go to his house and
arrest him. He he said, hateful things. Stop with the facts,
Dean boy. It doesn't work on them. You can't you

(01:09:24):
you can't provide facts to them and expect them to
actually be like, oh I didn't know, Okay, sorry my bad.
But yeah, that is one of the things that when
you do pointed out, when you point out that the
the Nazis were socialists, and you point that out to
these leftists, that that scream and hollow that Trump and

(01:09:46):
everybody in the Trump administration, everybody mag is a socialist.
They don't know how to react to it. They really don't.
They get lost. They're like, but Orange me, I'm bad. Yeah,
so it wasn't mustache man and he was. He's a socialist.
Rosio Donald's at it again, and this is another great one. Again.

(01:10:08):
The level of just mental ineptitude is unbelievable with these leftists.
And we all know that Rosio Donald's just she's bad,
crap crazy. But Rosi O Donald is now saying that
her twelve year old child, child not son, daughter, child
who has autism, is very upset about President Donald Trump

(01:10:32):
and smashes her hand on the table because she believes
her force that he forced her family to leave the
United States. And I don't want my kid to be
so affected by it, Rosie, here's an idea. Stop filling
your kid's head with a bunch of lies. Then Donald
Trump didn't force you to take your child with autism

(01:10:56):
and run to Ireland. Where by the way, she's kind
of saying it without really truly saying it, that life
is not as good as she thought it was going
to be, which, by the way, that has been a
new trend I've been watching lately on social media, seeing
all these people that are talking about how I ran
away to another country and I don't like it too much.

(01:11:16):
It's not so good. Yeah. I've seen that rumor too
about Ellen coming back to the US too, because Ellen
and her her Wifey, they were talking about how life
in England and the UK was not that good. It's
tough living over here. Yeah, so America's not all that bad,
is it. And watching all of these people who did

(01:11:37):
run away from America because of all the bad things
that Donald Trump did, they go to these other countries
and now they're like, I can't do it here. It's
just it's not the same. And you know, it does
take a special kind of person at this point to
be an American born and raised in America to live

(01:11:59):
with all of the privilege. And this is what it is, privilege.
She's what's that Mark? Ellen Degeneress is coming back to
America because she hates British winters. You know, Mark this
I kind of point this out to Mark, by the way,
is from the UK watches the show. I love watching
this because I see in social media there's a couple

(01:12:21):
people that I follow followed in the UK, and they're
they're talking about the winters uh in in England and
how Americans could never survive the winters in America or
in England. And it's kind of funny because if you're
somebody from southern California, like Ellen Jene Degenerus is where
she lives or lived it probably lives again, I can

(01:12:44):
understand how you'd have a hard time dealing with the
winters in England. But you know what, being somebody who's
from New England, which I also love when you talk
to the dumb Democrats on this, I I kid you not.
I have actually had somebody asked me where I was
from and I said that I was from New England,

(01:13:05):
and their reaction to that was, oh my god, how
long have you been in America.

Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
Anyhow?

Speaker 3 (01:13:22):
Being somebody who grew up in New England, dealing with
the like effects snows, dealing with all of the other stuff,
dealing with the cold New England alone, if you are
somebody from there, let alone, the upper Midwest British winters
are nothing, I mean absolutely nothing compared to what we've
gone through. But you know, when it comes to being

(01:13:43):
an American compared to the rest of the world, We've
been very spoiled. We've been very spoiled, very privileged. So
it really truly does take a special person to be
able to leave America, leave the comforts of America. And again,
this is one of the things when you look at
people who come from places like the UK or you know,

(01:14:07):
other European nations and they come to America, They're like, Wow,
this place is something else. I mean a lot of
the people that come from Europe and UK and they
come to the US and they just see our gas stations.
They see our gas stations and they're like, what the
hell is this? You know, I've seen some of the

(01:14:28):
foreign people again, a lot from the UK who've come
to the United States and they've gone to a Bucki's
and they take a look at a BUCkies and they're
just jaw droped, like, like, our major stores, like big
stores in the UK are not as big as this

(01:14:50):
gas station. So they're amazed at what we have in America.
So when you have what we've been raised on and
you leave this and go to another place like Ireland,
you know, I love Ireland. I think Ireland is a
beautiful country, and you know it's it's in comparison to America,
you know, minus like you know, the major cities, it's

(01:15:13):
pretty old school, it's pretty rough and tumble. It's it's
not the privileged life that you have here in America.
So it's no wonder why none of them can survive
it at all. They really can't get brave and try
the Donner Pass in the winter. Yeah, I mean, think
about how many people in the Donner past died trying

(01:15:38):
to go through that. You know, America is one of
these countries where we've got so much that most of
us take it for granted and don't even think about it.
Like we're one of the only countries on the planet
where you have all in the same day, the same day.
You have the tropics, the desert, you've got the subtropics,

(01:16:05):
you've got the Arctic Frozen Circle. And we're talking just
the the the lower forty eight. We're not even talking
about Alaska. You've got you know, the forest, the deserts,
you've got the planes, you've got the cold mountain areas,
you've got the subtropics, you've got the tropics, all in
the same day. In America. Now we take it. For granted,

(01:16:27):
I don't think anybody ever really truly thinks about that,
But if you're some somebody from the UK, yeah, that
is that is a shocking thing. And and there's a
couple of guys. One of them's is it Jason, Jason
from the Jase I think it's his name, And I've
been following him for a while. He's somebody who is

(01:16:49):
just absolutely fascinated with America. And he would watch the
videos and he would see all these things and be like,
how is that even possible? Especially when you look at Florida.
I mean Florida, we're we are the subtropic tropic, but
the Panhandle we're also the subtropic tropic, frozen kind of
the area. We've got the weirdest weather in the Panhandle
of Florida. But we're also Jurassic Park. That's another thing.

(01:17:12):
You don't see that anywhere else. We're Jurassic Park here
in the state of Florida. And watching him think that,
you know, you could do something like drive from Miami
to la in a day. There's no car fast enough
to do that. I mean, even taking a plane just
to read the airline takes you half the damn day

(01:17:34):
to do it, so people they don't realize what we
have in this country. And when all of these idiots
like Rosie o'donald and Ellen DeGeneres they ran away to
another country because we got to get away from from
Donald Trump, they realize it's not as good now. They

(01:17:55):
want to come back. They want to come back, and
they they want to be back in America because I
can't do it. I'm too weak. And it does take
a special kind of person to leave this environment and
go somewhere else in the world because there's no place
else in the world like America. And even with a
president that you disagree with, Joe Biden, Joe Biden was

(01:18:19):
a horrible president. Not once did I think, you know what,
I got to leave America. I gotta get out of here.
There's no way that I can survive. Joe Biden is
the president of the United States. It's just it's not good.
But why do you think people from around the world,

(01:18:40):
Dems speaking specifically to you, why do you think people
want to come to America and they don't care who
the president is. They just want to come to America
because America is an amazing country. Even when our leadership
is craptastic. We're still an amazing country. It's just sad.

(01:19:05):
And of course you get people like Rosie o'donald who
gets out there and saying, my daughter is now saying
damn him, damn Trump and smashing her hands on the table.
It's so dramatic, isn't it. Hang out and saying let
me get the script. Okay, uh okay, I can, I can,
I can't, I can do this ready.

Speaker 5 (01:19:26):
Damn him, Damn Donald Trump. Damn him from making me
come to to making me leave my country and go
to Damn Trump making me go to Ireland. How is
that performance?

Speaker 4 (01:19:41):
Mom?

Speaker 3 (01:19:42):
Was a good And when you have a child with autism,
which is which is bad? You know autism is is
is obviously not a good thing. Why would you take
your child to a place that maybe can't treat your
child as well as say Cana in America? And why

(01:20:03):
would you? And again, anybody who has dealt with an
autistic child knows you have to be kind of be
careful of these things that you tell them because they're
a little bit more emotional than the average person. They're
they're they they have their their issues and it's horrible.
I wish we could find a cure for order and
correct it in some sort of a way, but you know,
it is what it is right now. So why would

(01:20:24):
you Why would you again, first take your child away
from everything that they know, which that disturbs somebody with
autism too, when you uproot them and bring them to
a nation where they have so far less than what
they had back home in America, and then continue to
fill your autistic child's head with all this horrible stuff

(01:20:47):
about Donald Trump, and then it's Donald Trump's fault that
forced you to leave your country. Rosie o'donald was actually
doing an appearance on the Jim Acosta Show, which I
didn't even know existed. I mean, that must be that
must have had a huge viewship there. I just I
didn't realize it was there. And she said, you know,

(01:21:08):
I looked at my daughter and said, honey, wow, honey,
what are you thinking? And she said, he made us
move in order for our own safety, and now he's
destroying the country. So this twelve year old autistic kid
living in Ireland with her bad crap crazy mother is

(01:21:28):
thinking that Donald Trump is destroying America. Can you imagine
what's going through this kid's mind? This kid must be
thinking that America is just it's falling apart, and that
there's buildings that are being demolished everywhere because look what
he did to the White House, and everything is falling
apart and nothing is the same, and he's destroying everything,
and oh my god, my whole country has gone and

(01:21:50):
Donald Trump forced us to leave. Imagine what happens when
Rosie o'donald finally decides, I don't think I don't think
that's a biological child that should to be honest with.
I think it's adopted if I'm not mistaken. But imagine
what's gonna happen when Rosy o'donald finally gives in and
she can't handle doing Ireland anymore, and she comes back

(01:22:11):
to America and she brings that twelve year old child
with her, and that twelve year old child is now
scared to death. We're going back to America. We're going
back to America with Donald Trump. It's so scary Donald Trump,
and he's destroyed everything. And you get here and you
look around and nothing's destroyed. The country is fine. There's

(01:22:38):
not Nazi SS members going door to door rounding people up.
That there's freedom here and then we can get into
the car now and drive down the road and get
whatever it is that we want, and it's great. How
fed up do you think that child is going to

(01:22:59):
be then, because remember, this child is thinking the entire country,
my United States of America is destroyed because of Donald
Trump and comes back and it's not this, this is
what's wrong with the left? Well that how much tigh
do we have left in the show? Hour and a half?

(01:23:21):
Not enough time to get into what's what's wrong with
the left. But when they when they do this type
of stuff, when they emotionally get themselves all worked up,
this is what happens the guys. Guys, please, it's too
early in the morning to talk about Rosie o'donald having
sex just and honestly, you know what, I'm not sure,

(01:23:42):
but hang on a second, let me let me let
me confirm on this one. I'm pretty certain that the
the children that she has are adopted, hang on, because

(01:24:02):
they don't look as ugly as her. Either could be wrong, though,
but I'm pretty sure they are. Yes, they were adopted.
Holy crouch, he has that many of them. I didn't
realize this, Rosie and Donald has five children. All of
them are adopted. Parker, Chelsea, Blake, Vivian and Dakota all

(01:24:27):
of them are adopted. So yeah, there we go. That
makes you guys feel better. And I hope the fact
that somebody did not have to with Rosie o'donald because
that's disgusting thought it really chilly. Is a child abuse

(01:24:47):
that that's another good way of putting it. I mean,
you know what, I'm gonna say, some trouble when it
comes to, you know, the the adoptions. We don't have
enough of that going on here in America. And look,
I'll give props to Rosio o'donald for wanting to give

(01:25:09):
a child that was needed a family the opportunity by adopting.
But there is a certain level I think that we
need to look at and go I don't think this
is the right person for adoption. And what amazes me
is that that you have here in America when you
want to talk about adoptions, you have very good, wholesome

(01:25:31):
couples that want to adopt a child. I would rather
be adopted by Angelia Jolie if she wants to adopt me.
By the way, she still can. I think I'm older
than her. But it doesn't matter. If she still wants
to adopt me, she can. But here in America, we
have so many people that would love to adopt a
child because the fact that they can't have a child,
they're on or they simply don't want to go through

(01:25:52):
that process and they want to adopt a child, and
it is such a difficult process. And yet you've got
these nutbags like Rosie O'Donnell, who goes through lesbian partners
as if she's changing her panties and they allow her
to adopt five different children. Got some messed up stuff

(01:26:12):
with our systems, We really truly do. All right, we
gotta take another quick break. We'll be right back. This
is the Brian Rush Show. Good morning, and thanks so
much for checking this out.

Speaker 1 (01:26:19):
Be re back.

Speaker 3 (01:26:36):
All right, welcome back to the Brian Rush Show. Thanks
so much for being the part of our day, your
day today, Casey, why did you have to ruin it for?
No Angelina would have you transition? Brian? You sure, but
you don't want actually, To be honest with you, the
Angelina Joelie that I would want to have actually adopt

(01:27:02):
me is not the current one because I don't know
if stopped eating or something or what. But like I
would be I would be afraid of like walking past
her too fast and falling her falling over or something.
She's just she's not the Angelina Jolie that she was

(01:27:23):
like ten years ago, like back of the Brad Pitt days,
you know that was that was the Angelina Joe. Dang,
how you durn't. But now she's like she looks like
one of those malnourished liberals, which she's kind of gone
a little bit on the liberal side now. She at
one point was kind of like, maybe is she gonna
be a rip all? She's not, but she's like, I

(01:27:45):
don't know, she's just nowhere near as attractive as she
once was. And I hate to ruin it for the
other guys, but I mean, seriously, like the old Angelina
Joe damn, yes and a heartbeat, adopt me whatever you want,
but you're right, nowadays she would she probably transitioners or something.
So I'm just I'm just saying, and she just she

(01:28:07):
doesn't look as good as she used to. And and
I really regret actually now popping up some photos current
photos because it's just now, like back in two thousand
and two thousand and five with the mister and Missus
Smith h Angelina Joelee in that movie hang on, I

(01:28:29):
need some water yep. Anyhow, back to back to the show.
We gotta get off of that topic because otherwise I'm
gonna I'm gonna get distracted and probably say something to
get me in trouble as well. So some problems going
on with with Somalia. I don't know if you've heard it.

(01:28:51):
It's kind of a hell whole country. Donald Trump has
has talked about it. I think most of us know it.
It's not that great of a country. And we've brought
a lot of some Allians here and unfortunately they haven't
exactly been the best part of society. I mean, there's
elon Omar, tell me what she has done. Not much. Yesterday,
during the two and a half hour long cabinet meeting

(01:29:14):
that Donald Trump had, he did say that he did
not want Somali immigrants in the US, saying that the
residents of the war ravaged Eastern African country are too
reliant on US social safety net and add little to
the United States, which is true. It's very true. You
look at all the Somalis that have gone into Minnesota.

(01:29:35):
You look at elon Omar for crying aloud. What has
she done for society? Zip? But he said that they
contribute nothing. The welfare is like eighty eight percent or something.
They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country.
Their country is no good for a reason. Your country stinks,

(01:29:55):
and we don't want them in our country. Donald Trump also,
by the way, pretty much saying yeah, we're we're done
with with immigrants from Somalia. We're not doing it this.
Of course, these comments here in the meeting yesterday come
a few days after the administration announced that they're halting
all asylum decisions following the shooting of the two National

(01:30:17):
guards in Washington, which the suspect in last week's shooting
which originally from Afghanistan. But Trump has also used the
moment to rise or raise the question about immigrants from
other nations, including Somalia. Now, you know what, this is
a thing that we have got to stand up for
and remind democrats of that. Yes, we are a nation

(01:30:41):
of immigrants. We're a nation that is founded by grown
by We are a nation of immigrants at one point
or another. I am only a third generation American, so
my family not here for all that long. So we
are immigrants. But when we came to this country, our
forefathers they came to the country and they were asked, one,

(01:31:05):
are you healthy? Do you have any diseases? Let me
check you to make sure you have any diseases or not. Okay,
you don't follow up question. What are you going to
do for yourself? What do you provide to this nation?

(01:31:26):
What are you gonna do? What skill set do you have?
Do you have a way of being able to take
care of yourself? Because remember this was before all of
the social safety nets. When we were bringing immigrants into
this country. When you would stop in at Ellis Island,
you were asked what is your skill set? And if
you stood there and you went, I don't have it,

(01:31:50):
they turn you around, put you back on the boat,
and say get out. Thanks for trying. But next, what's
your skill set? I'm a carpenter. Fantastic, because we've got
some things that need to be done over over in
this area. Okay, beautiful, here you go, here's your ticket.
Go over there, build some houses, build some things. You're

(01:32:14):
gonna be able to make a life for your family.
What do you do? I'm a baker, fantastic. We need
some more bread. Come on in, Welcome to America today.
We don't do it today. People go, I want to
be America. Okay, come on in. What can you do nothing? Okay, great,
come on in. Here's an EBT card, we'll refill it

(01:32:36):
at the end of the month. Here's the keys to
your new apartment. Here's the check that you will get. Everybody,
this is what we do to people. Now, how is
that fair to Americans that this is how we treat
these people. How is that fair to our ancestors? How
is it fair to those in the past that wanted

(01:32:56):
to come to America but they were turned away because
they didn't have a job skill set and couldn't provide
anything for our country. They provide diversity, No they don't.
I mean in the eyes of the Democrats. Yeah, but
we have diversity. We have to have the hard workers,
and then we have to have the lazy pieces of shit,

(01:33:17):
and there they are. I mean. The thing is, when
it comes to some of these hellhole countries, we need
to start encouraging the people there. And we can do it, psychops,
we can do it. We can encourage the people to say, hey,
you need to uprise against these bad people. You want

(01:33:41):
some help, we'll drop a bottom on the guy's car
when he's driving. That's fine, whatever, But you need to
make your country better. Now. I'm not big on nation building,
and I'm not big on the whole idea of getting
out there and changing out the leadership of a nation.
But if it gets to a point where you have
a country like Somalia, or better yet, something even closer

(01:34:05):
to us, something like Haiti, where you have Haiti where
you had a democratically elected leadership there that they weren't
the greatest. And Haiti, if you if you know anything
about the history of Haiti, it is a country that
was set up for failure from the very beginning. It
was a nation that was started and basically was being

(01:34:29):
used for its resources. And when the resources dried up,
they said, okay, we're done with it and walked away.
And it's been a an absolute shit show ever since then.
And nobody has gone in there to fix it. You know,
we've gone in there a few times, you know, the Clintons. Hey,
here's my pocket right there. Hang on, let me push

(01:34:52):
the pocket down a little bit so there's a little
extra room there. Put Okay, there you go. Okay, great, Yeah,
we're helping Haiti. We've ever gone in there and really said,
all right, let's help this out. You know, you get
a democratic leadership, you can send some people down there
to say, okay, now that you're the leader of your nation,
let's help you with how you can generate business, how

(01:35:14):
you can create some industry, how you can do something
to survive. Hey, you've got some problems right now with
your agriculture and your land. Let's show you how you
can do this. By the way, have you ever seen
a satellite view of the island. There's the Dominican Republic
on the east, and then there's Haiti on the west.
There is a line that changes color because in the

(01:35:37):
Dominican Republic they're still growing trees, they've got green shrubbery.
In Haiti, they've cut it all down, they've burned it
all down, they've destroyed it all. It's nothing but a wasteland.
And because they've never had the proper leadership. And then
you get the gang members. Remember Barbecue, the gang leader

(01:35:58):
last year that came in and basically took over. Really,
we're going to allow something like that. We could very
easily send in a special forces team and we could
end the barbecue and we can move on to you know,
a better meal, and Haiti could be a better country

(01:36:19):
and the Haitians could stay there. Sure we could also
get in there and we can help them out with
their education system a little bit. Instead, what we do
is we cave, and which is okay. I'll bring all
the Haitians here, What are they going to do? What
job skill set do they have to bring to America

(01:36:40):
to make our country better? We have Haitian gangs that
have been brought to this country. Were they vetted? Clearly not?
But then again maybe they were. Maybe they were vetted
because the thing that I look at when it comes
to a lot of these nations where we've brought some
pretty bad people Venezuela, Haiti, and a few others where

(01:37:01):
the violent gang members have been brought into this country,
how did you not vet these people to make sure
that they're not gang members? The gang members are not
gonna be somebody who's gonna walk in and it's gonna
look like your average Joe. There are plenty of things physically,

(01:37:22):
tattoos and other things that can give you a one
hell of an indication that they're part of a gang.
And if it is a situation where somebody goes, yes,
I was part of that gang, and I want to
get the hell away from that. I want to make
a better life for me. I want to turn things around,
and America is my only choice. Okay, that's great. We're

(01:37:43):
gonna bring in what was your name again? Okay, here's
the thing you were going to report here. You go
your report here on a regular basis all the time.
If you get into any sort of trouble, join into
any sort of gangs, whatsoever, guess where you're going. We're
gonna drop you off at the front doorstep of the
gang that you're claiming that you're running away from. You're

(01:38:06):
not gonna do that here. We're gonna give you that opportunity.
But we didn't. We're like, okay, that's great, come on in, hey, everybody,
we saved him. Look, he's a gang member. We saved him.
And the next thing, you know, what do we have?
We have the married marilynd Man who is human trafficking
people acrownd the around the country being accused of suing

(01:38:28):
some of the sex trafficking as well. It's time for
us to step it up. It's time for us to
stop doing this stuff where we just let people in
and places like Somalia, places like El Salvador, like Venezuela,
like Haiti, where they were bringing in their worst and

(01:38:48):
we're just like, hey, come on, have at it. What
do you want it? Do you want an apartment complex,
Go pick a city, go just just to go take it.
Don't worry about it. We won't stop you. That's how
bad we've And then we've got things like the Democrats,
who and remember Democrats have about seventy percent of the
wealth in this nation. We see all the fraud that's

(01:39:09):
going on, not a thing happening to stop it, not
a thing happening to hold people accountable. Where's the purp walks,
by the way, where are the purp walks? Where are
the people being arrested for all of this stuff that
has gone on? We haven't seen a thing. And this

(01:39:29):
is one of the things that I'm getting more and
more frustrated with when it comes to our justice department,
is why are we not going after these politicians? You know,
if you go after the politicians right here, right now
that we're involved with the frauds, the scams, the money laundering,
and you purp walk them. You arrest them in their

(01:39:53):
their their congressional office or whatever it might be, and
you purp walk them out and you tell the world,
you tell America that this is what these people were doing.
It would destroy the Democrat Party if you did it now,
if you wait until just before the election, you know
what's gonna happen. They're gonna turn around and say, Donald

(01:40:15):
Trump in the Maga, they can't win the election. They're
cheating by arresting the Democrats. And what do you think
is gonna happen? They're gonna win. They're winning already by
the fact that they get away with all of the
stuff that they have done with absolutely no accountability whatsoever.
And in Minnesota, another perfect example of this, billion dollars

(01:40:38):
in Minnesota, of all places, a billion dollars of taxpayer
dollars poof vanished paid to groups that said, oh, yeah,
we're helping people out. It's like, are you who are
you helping? Because all these programs that you say you're doing,
they're not existing. You're not feeding anybody. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett,

(01:41:03):
who I love this guy? He is He is probably
one of the most badass people in the Trump administration
because I love his calm, cool demeanor and the way
that he just takes nothing from anybody, especially the media.
The way he handles the media is fantastic. But on Monday,

(01:41:23):
he announced that the United States's Treasury Department has opened
up federal investigations and allegations that Minnesota tax dollars were
diverted to the terrorist organization Al Shahib during the Biden
Harris administration under Minnesota Governor Tim Walls. You know what
he's doing. He's following the money. Scott Bessett, not waiting around,

(01:41:47):
not waiting for Pam Bondy to finally say, oh my god,
we need to do this investigation. And we said because
Pam Bondi is about worthless at this point. The investigation
follows the recent reports that that uncovered a lot large
scale fraud schemes involving Minnesota social programs and remittance routed
through Somali money transfer networks. Billion dollars. We're giving them

(01:42:15):
to these Somali groups money transfers, the going right to
the Somalis. Tim Watson knew this was going on. Don't
tell me that you're able to have a billion dollars
just disappear in the state of Wisconsin. I can understand
a million here, a millionaire, maybe ten million. Kind of

(01:42:35):
hard to track a lot of that stuff when you
look at the grand scheme of things, but a billion
dollars billion dollars from social programs, which remember the Democrats
are so concerned about the social programs. We had to
make sure that we feed the children. Okay, well, we're
gonna pass this thing. We're gonna fund this to be

(01:42:55):
able to feed the children. Yay, we fed the children.
Did anybody look to see if the kids got food?
That should have been your first indication there's a problem.
So one of two things. Either you did check and
you knew that this money was going somewhere else, or
the children, you know, they didn't get it, and you
should be going, hey, what happened all this money that

(01:43:19):
we were given to the children? Why do we have
starving children that they are getting fed? We gave this
money to them to be fed. Why aren't they fed?
And they should look and go, oh my god. We
had all these money transfers that were going to Somali
and Somali terrorist groups and they weren't going to the
social programs that we're so proud of. We got starving children. Really,

(01:43:42):
everything looks to the fact that the Democrats in the
state of Wisconsin were complicit on this, and I would
love to see some bank accounts. How rich did Tim
Walsh get? How rich did other leadership in Minnesota get?
How rich did some of the donors and backers of

(01:44:02):
people like Tim Walls get in Minnesota. I think this
is a legitimate question to ask. But Secretary Bessett released
the announcement on x stating that the allegations warrant immediate action,
and he said, at my direction, at US Treasury is
investigating allegations that, under the effeckless mismanagement of the Biden

(01:44:23):
administration and Governor Tim Walls, hardworking Minnesotans and tax dollars
may have been diverted to the terrorist organization Al Shabab.
And he added on to it that the Treasure Department
was moving quickly to ensure Americans taxes are not funding
acts of global terror, and he said that the agency
would release its findings as the investigation continues, and Governor

(01:44:46):
Waltce's office ended up telling Fox News that Waltz said
last week he would welcome an investigation if any connection
were found between Minnesota state funds and Al Shabam. Sure
you want that. The launch of the investigation follows through
reports published last month by the Manhattan Institute, where the

(01:45:07):
report examined fraud schemes tied to Minnesota's Medicaid, housing Stabilization
service programs, and the Feeding Our Future and Additional programs.
The report came out documented how these schemes operated and
reported that individuals within Minnesota's Somali community were responsible for
significant portions of the fraud and according to the report,

(01:45:29):
federal counter terrorism sources confirmed that millions of dollars in
stolen funds have been transferred to Somali. Here's another question,
Why does it take a reporter to do this? Why
does it take some independent organization to look up and go, um,

(01:45:51):
excuse me, there's a billion dollars missing, and by the way,
it went to a terrorist organization. Shouldn't be there shouldn't
be a backup accountability to the money being spent. Now,
the reason why the Democrats don't do that is because

(01:46:11):
they know that the money is going to go to
the causes that they wanted to go to, not what
they say they're going to, but what they wanted to
go to. So you wouldn't want to have accountability, but
there should be follow up on this type of stuff.
If you're doing things where you're dedicating a billion dollars
to social programs, you should be following up to make

(01:46:33):
sure that those social programs are being funded correctly. And
in a place like Minnesota, it's not a big state,
this should not be that difficult. And for a billion
dollars to disappear things that make you go hmm. And
according to the reporting that's going on, the portions of

(01:46:55):
it is being focused on the question of where did
the money go and try act how the Minnesota based
fraud rings moved funds abroad. The report sided data showing
you know, a lot of remittance playing a major role
in Somalia's economy, with approximately forty percent of Somali households

(01:47:16):
receiving money from abroad. I gotta sneeze, hey on sorry
of the households in Somalia receiving money from America. In
twenty twenty three, members of the Somali Somali Group since

(01:47:38):
an estimated one point seven billion dollars back to Somalia,
a figure that is exceeding the national government's budget for
that year. Now, it's one thing to have Somalians that
are here working hard. They've got jobs, they're starting businesses,

(01:48:03):
they're doing things, and it's all great. And next thing
you know, they're sending money back home to their family
in Somalia. Here's some extra money, send that back home.
I got enough just to live, send the rest home.
That's what happens with a lot of the Mexican workers,
a lot of the Mexican workers that come to this country.
And I've got some friends who have construction companies who

(01:48:24):
hire a lot of the legal Mexicans to come in
and do work, and they pay them. And generally what
they do is they will go and they will cash
their checks or they get it in cash, whichever, and
they will go and they take out Okay, I gotta
go grocery shopping, and what I need for this week. Okay,

(01:48:45):
I go get what I need this week. Do I
need another pair of pants or I'll get my pants.
And then they take the rest of that money and
they go right over to Western Union and say send
this home. Okay, that's great. That's admirable. You're coming to
this country, you're working hard, you're making a living, you're
sending your money back to your family. Okay, But when

(01:49:07):
you are stealing money a billion dollars one point seven
billion dollars being stolen from social programs that are supposed
to go to feeding children, and you're sending that back
to Somalia. No, people need to go to jail. And
if this is what's going to happen, where you're going

(01:49:28):
to have Somalians that are going to come here to
our country to steal our money, send every single one
of them packing if you're not actually providing something for
this nation out By the way, Donald Trump is actually
now going through the system and they are going to
be revisiting a lot of the visas that we have.
Donald Trump made this announcement the other day that he's

(01:49:52):
going to be taking a look at the the visa
process and the and basically reviewing everybody's visa and saying, hey,
are you here the way you should be the head
of the US Citizen and Immigration Services said Thursday last
week that in accordance with the orders from the Trump
he has directed a full scale, rigorous re examination of

(01:50:15):
every green card for every alien from every country of concern,
Somalia being one of them. And basically what that means
is that they are going to look at the green card.
They're going to look at the person that's got it
and say, what are you doing? And when they say
what they're doing, it has got to coincide with Okay,

(01:50:37):
the green card says that they came and they're going
to be working for Frank's meatpacking shop. And you go
and say, are you working at Frank's meat packing shop?
They got to say yes, They got to provide proof
that they are and if not, you're being packed sent home.
And we need to do that because the amount of money,

(01:51:00):
and again one point seven billion dollars to Somalia, what
do you think they're using that money for? What do
you think they're building new communities and beautiful new houses
and schools. No, Somalia is a hellhole of a country.
They are providing it to terrorists, terrorists who, by the way,
want to take you and die out. Can you imagine

(01:51:23):
how much these terrorists laugh at Americans, these silly, stupid Americans.
They have no idea that they're paying for their own
death and destruction and we are thank you, sir, Can
I have another American needs to wake up and we
need to start telling the story. We need to tell
people and educate people of what's going on with your

(01:51:44):
taxpayer dollars. And sure we on the Republican side, we've
got plenty of compassion for people who want to come
to this country, who want to come here to be
part of the experiment that we are, the amazingness of America,
to bring your skill set, to bring the great food
that you might have from your culture, bring that to
America and assimilate into us. But that's not what's going on,

(01:52:10):
and it needs to stop. And I think that the
Trump administration needs to go full on just bulldoze kind
of process of this and get rid of anybody and
everyone who is not here the way they're supposed to be.
Violated your green card, violate your visa, boye bye if
it is expired and you didn't renew it like you

(01:52:32):
were supposed to. Sorry for your luck, bohe bye, get out.
We got to clean up the country. We have got
a lot of repairing to do. But the biggest thing
we also have to do is stop the Democrats, because
the Democrats. They want this behavior because they know it's
going to destroy our country, and that's what they want.
We got to take a break. Bear it back, all right,

(01:53:18):
Welcome back to the Brian Rushield. Thanks so much for
making us part of your day today. Give one a second.
I'm I have to change the thing on my schedule.
That's so fatally, you know, I was just looking at
my schedule on my phone. If it wasn't for my phone,
I don't think I could actually function like ever. I

(01:53:39):
really don't. I don't think I could do it. This
thing keeps me in line all the time I was
looking at my schedule for today. This thing is just
it's stupid. Let's say, I gotta do that. I know
I should have waited, but now that I've gotten into this,

(01:54:01):
I've gotten into this and now I've got to finish
it up there. Okay, there finished the rest of that later,
by the way, coming up later on this hour center,
Rick Scott's gonna be joining us. We're gonna talk with
him about healthcare stuff. He recently did a an up
end on Fox News talking about the failures of Obamacare
slash ACA, So we're gonna talk with him about that.
And again, the question that I'm gonna ask him is

(01:54:23):
who's addressing the real cost problem, the real issue with healthcare.
Is anybody in Washington actually looking at that rather than
the concern of we've got to get everybody on insurance.
Because here's the thing. There's a lot of Americans who
don't have insurance, and they don't have it for a reason,
and they just look at it and say, you know what,
I just I don't get sick very often, so I

(01:54:44):
just go ahead and I just pay for it at
the hospital or pay for it at the walk in
clinic or whatever. And that's great if you're able to
do that, if you're not, not somebody who's who's got
a lot of problems. But even still, that's expensive. So
let's look at the root cause. So we're gonna talk
with Rick Scott coming up about that in about forty
minutes or so from now, So he'll be coming on

(01:55:04):
in just a bit. So if you're in the Bay
County area, you probably have seen this news kind of
came about, But this is also something that's gone around
around the country. And I've ran and raved about this
before because I think this is a dumb idea now,
I am a big supporter of law enforcement. I support
our men and women who throw on the badge and

(01:55:26):
the gun and get out there and protect our nation
every single day. Not an easy job. You deal with
people at their lowest, You peel, deal with people at
their worst. And it's not all that rewarding of a job.
Sometimes sometimes you get the emotional reward, but for the
most part, it's not. It's a dirty job that somebody's
got to do it. And we've got brave men and
women who get up and do it, and I applaud

(01:55:47):
them and I love them for doing that. But this
trend that has happened for the past couple of years
has been something that has bothered me in a lot
of ways, because law enforcement in America should be there
to enforce the law, to protect and serve, to make
sure that our communities are safe. It should not ever

(01:56:08):
be a situation of entrapment. It shouldn't ever be a
situation of gotcha, you know. It should just be out
there to protect and serve. And unfortunately, a lot of
communities across the country have also used the police departments
as a revenue source, which is a dangerous thing. And

(01:56:29):
again I'll bring this up too, because when we're looking
here in the state of Florida with the getting rid
of the property tax, which not really against, but I
want things thought out a little bit further down the road,
not four or five years down there. I'm talking twenty
thirty years down the road thinking about this of where

(01:56:51):
money is going to come from. But when you eliminate
the property tax situation, you will have towns and cities
that are going to scramble and go, how how do
we make up the money that we're probably going to lose.
And one of the ways that they can do that
is with law enforcement by overly enforcing certain laws, trying

(01:57:12):
to give the get you catchya speeding tickets other things.
And the ghost cars are something that I have been
dead set against since the first time I saw it.
Now I understand that there are always going to be
divisions in our police departments, police departments, sheriff's departments, FHP where, Yeah,

(01:57:33):
you don't want it to be a glaring Hey, here's
the cops. You don't want that because there are certain
things where they need to sneak up on the bad guys.
Bad guys don't need to know that they're there, and
those it makes sense to have the ghost cars, the
ones that are not labeled or have the ghost decals

(01:57:53):
on them. And I have called this out before, and
I've gotten a little bit of pushback from some of
my law enforcement friends. But it's okay, still love you.
The idea of the ghost decals is not patrolling, it's
not police presence. It's gotcha. Now. Sure you can have

(01:58:16):
the argument about, well, you shouldn't be speeding anyhow, And
I'm not even talking about that. I'm talking about the
bad guys that are roaming around the neighborhood that is
trying to figure out which house can I break into?
You see a cargo by, See a Ford f one
fifty that goes by? Okay, is that a copp or

(01:58:37):
is that a neighbor I don't know, can't tell. Doesn't
look like a cop car. I have no idea. So
all right, car goes by. All right, let's go get
this neighborhood. Don't want the average joe down the street
catching me break it into the house. So we'll let
that car go down the street and we'll go do

(01:58:57):
their thing. Different mindset when you look up and go,
damn cops, bad guys aren't stupid. Some of them do
dumb things, but they're not stupid. When they see the
police is patrolling the neighborhood. When they see that F
one fifty drive by and it says police written across it,

(01:59:18):
they know that the police are there. They're in the community.
This is probably not the neighborhood for me to go
do this. Let me find another neighborhood where the police
are not at. That's a police presence. Knowing that my
neighborhood has been having a car break ins or house
break ins or something going on, and the police they

(01:59:40):
might be there. I don't know. Is that a cop car.
I can't tell because it's it's all ghosts out. My
neighborhood is getting robbed, houses, cars being broken into. I
look over, Oh there's the cops. Now I feel better.
I feel better because I see it. That's a police
car that's just driving by my house. Bad guys are

(02:00:03):
going to see it. I see it. I feel better.
So the idea of the ghost thing, I've been against
it from the beginning because it is not a police presence.
It's gotcha and that's not what the police should be doing.
Police should never be in the gotcha mode unless you
are part of a special unit that is busting bad guys,

(02:00:26):
the drug dealers to whatever else it is. You know,
there's always going to be special divisions that will require that.
Totally understand it, totally supported, but the average patrol car
h not so much. Well, the Lynnhaven Police Department finally
stepped up on this and they made a post the
other day, what was it Monday? They did it saying

(02:00:46):
that the public spoken, we listened. There was a recent
Facebook post discussing our unmarked and ghost marked patrol vehicles
and most people were against them. One comment was made
about teaching children to run to a police car for help,
not teaching them to run to a blacked out vehicle
with no markings. We heard that we are currently having

(02:01:06):
our patrol vehicles marked in large, easy to read, contrasting lettering.
Nothing fancy, nothing expensive, nothing over the top, just good,
clean and professional looking markings. This is our first vehicle
in the process of being marked. Shout out to Boardwalk
Designs for making this happen. Bravo Lynhaven for making that

(02:01:29):
step because look, I think those of us that live
in this area, we all know we hate driving through
Glynn Haven because we see the Granted, we should slow down,
I get it. I'm not going to disagree with that
we should slow down. But this is a step in
the right direction. And I hope that other police departments
in this particular area, Panama City, the sheriff, Panama City Beach,

(02:01:52):
all of them take this as a lead and do
the same thing. Police presence and the fact that somebody
had pointed out that we teach children that when you
are in need of help, that you run to the
police car. You run to the police officer. You don't
run to that blacked out vehicle. You don't run is

(02:02:16):
that van? Is that is that police? I don't know,
I need help. When you're in a situation of panic
and need help, you should have instant recognition. And when
you look up and you see ope, says police, this
police car, go to that. That's one of the things
you need. And again I applaud the Lynhaven Police Department

(02:02:36):
for listening to the people. The people have said, hey,
don't do it anymore. We want actual police presence. So
I hope that this becomes a reversing trend and that
more police departments around the country and around this area
around the state. They change and they start doing that,
putting the police back onto the police cars, so that

(02:02:58):
we again not only the bad guys, but we have
the reassurance that there is police presence. Now me, I'm
not a big worrier about a lot of things. I mean, look,
I know how to defend myself if need be. And
I don't often see the shriff coming through my neighborhood,

(02:03:22):
and I live in a cul de sac, so it's
not like I'm going to see it very often. But
when I do see the Sheriff's office run through the neighborhood,
I look at it and go cool. I get that
good sense of security that our law enforcement they're driving
around the community. I mean, growing up as a kid,
I mean granted, my father was a cop, so I

(02:03:42):
lived that aspect as well, But growing up as a kid,
I always remembered that the local cop car you'd always
see it, and if you're doing things that you weren't
supposed to be doing, you know, you'd be like, oh,
stop doing it, because here comes the cop car. But
there was other times that the cop car would come
by and window would be down and he was stop

(02:04:02):
and be like, hey, what are you guys doing Oh
we're just out of here playing ball, Okay, make sure
you watch out for cars, you know. And we knew
our local police. We knew that we could run to
them for help if we ever needed it. So the
idea of the ghost things, I'm glad that there are
police departments that are recognizing it getting rid of it.
So props to the Lyndhaven Police Department for taking those

(02:04:23):
those steps to change things up and put some decals
on their cars. Now again, not all of them need it.
Is there special units, special purposes, but the regular patrol
cars sticker those things up because I think it's a
good thing. What's that You'd like to see a good
debate on this subject because both sides have valid points

(02:04:45):
as far as the as the detailing of the cars.
Is that what you're referring to? What's that if a
if a child needs to run to a cop car,
it has to have police to sharefy. Yeah, it does.
And I get the debate too when it comes to
being able to sneak up on stuff, I get it,

(02:05:06):
But overall I think that it does need to be
changed up a little bit. Sheriff and police have different districts.
One City and the other Ricky that might be in California,
but here in the state of Florida the way that
it is. I mean, you have just a Ricky knows
this and Ricky lives in California, big fan of the

(02:05:28):
show and appreciate you. You always have a great insight. But
here in Florida, it's very different. Like Mack in Massachusetts
where I'm from, the sheriff's office they have like two purposes,
ceremonial and the jail, and that's like it. They don't patrol,
they don't do nothing. But here in Florida, the sheriff's
department is generally like the law enforcement for the county.

(02:05:50):
They have jurisdiction and authorization throughout the entire county, regardless
to whether a town has police. And then there is
you know, individual police departments that do their they're patrolling
in their districts. So you know, the sheriff's office obviously
they they take care of the unincorporated areas of our
of the counties, but they also they patrol right through

(02:06:12):
Panama City, they patrol through Lynnhaven, they patrol through Panama
City Beach. They're patrolling through the other areas that have
their own law enforcement. So they're they're an integral partnership
when it comes to policing here in our area, which
is which is kind of a cool thing. I don't
know exactly how they do it in California. I know
it's a little bit different. You know again, places like

(02:06:32):
Massachusetts where the sheriff's office that all they do is
the jails and that's it. They don't do really anything else.
Ceremonial stuff. They'll ride horses and parades. That's it. A
different ballgame here. But I think we need to be
up on that. We need to we need to make
sure that we support our police, and they need to
support the community more by letting us know they're there.

(02:06:55):
They cops used to be one of your neighbors and
and now they're their imports and a power chair, and
you know that's that's also a problem too when it
comes to a lot of the law enforcement there. There's
great law enforcement leadership. As a matter of fact, here
in the Bay County area. I can talk about our sheriff.
He's a sheriff. Tommy Ford is a great sheriff.

Speaker 5 (02:07:18):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:07:18):
He's somebody with a big, extensive law enforcement background. He's
great not a power trip at all. He does amazing
stuff with our Sheriff's department and they're great. Uh. Jr.
Telamendez the police chief over there in in Panama City Beach,
former marine, so he's a tough guy. But he's also

(02:07:39):
not one of those dictator like police chiefs. I mean,
he he has a few of those ghost cars. I
don't like them, I don't agree with them, but yeah,
he's not one of those people that is like that.
But there are places around the country where we do
see from and it all starts at the leadership, where
you see the leadership and and I hate to say this,

(02:08:00):
but Lynnhaven was like this, and I'm hoping that it's
going to change well where the leadership acted a little
bit more on the we are more than just police
serving and protecting. We are, you know, the power trip
kind of thing, and that's a bad thing. But it
all starts in leadership. You always got to make sure
you've got the right people leading, and you know they've

(02:08:22):
they've got to be the ones to keep all of
their people in check that we're not going down that
road of being we're the police and we're the authority
and the power trip they We've got to get back
to the policing where the kids all know the neighborhood cop.
You know, growing up, that was the case with us.

(02:08:42):
We always knew. And the crazy thing was we even
knew who had what days off. We knew who the
officers were. We would see them all the time. And
you know, I think we've gotten away from that now.
You know, I happened to just know a lot of
our sheriffs personally, but I couldn't. I couldn't today tell

(02:09:03):
you the name of the deputy that patrols my neighborhood.
Couldn't tell you. And I think this is one of
the things that that community policing we kind of need
to get back to, and we need to ensure that
we don't have that attitude. And unfortunately it's it's developed
in some places and it's got to be corrected. But
what they're doing now in Lynnhaven with the changing those

(02:09:25):
ghosts decals, it's a good step and we need to
do a little bit more about it. All right, we
gotta take it on the quick break. We'll be right back.
This is the Bride Rush Show. Good morning, all right,

(02:10:00):
welcome back to the Bride Rush Shille. Thank you so
much for making us part of your day today. But
that police shouldn't be afraid to enforce laws. But at
the same time they should realize that their public servants
and that they are to represent the law and aren't
the law itself. Yeah, that's true. And you know what,
one of the things that we do have to point

(02:10:22):
out too when it comes to law enforcement now, and
this is where you have to be on the careful
side of this transition, because obviously under the Biden administration
and even under the Obama administration, the idea of enforcing
the law and being a police officer and doing that,

(02:10:43):
you know, it was a bad thing. Was it was
frowned upon by the Democrats. And if a police officer
was to go and enforce the law and in the
process of enforcing a law hurts somebody's feelings, the law
enforcement officer then stood the chance, a very good chance,

(02:11:04):
by the way, of losing his job, being prosecuted, going
to jail. And we've seen it happen. We've seen officers
under Democrat leadership of end up going to jail because
of doing their job. Now, there are some bad police officers,
there's no doubt about it. There's some bad police officers.
It's such a small percentage though. But now under the

(02:11:28):
Trump administration, where there is now the encouragement and the
support to law enforcement to do their job, and that
the idea of if you go and you do your job,
we're not going to go and arrest you for doing it.
You know, yes, we may have to say, hey, Dahn
done a little bit too much, But the idea of

(02:11:48):
police officers having to be arrested, prosecuted, thrown in jail,
losing their jobs, their livelihood because they did their job,
those days need to come to a complete end, and
I think they are now under the Trump administration. But
there is a transition. And one of the things that
the leaders in law enforcement need to make sure that

(02:12:11):
they they help with this transition is to understand that
while yes, you're not going to be prosecuted for doing
your job, but at the same time, keep yourself in check.
Don't get into a power ego. Don't think that it's
going to be the wild wild West now that you
can do whatever you want, you still have to abide

(02:12:32):
by the laws and the rules. Even though we're not
going to do what we were doing before with like
people like the Biden administration just coming after you. So
they have to be careful on that transition, otherwise it
can cause it can cause a few problems. So there's
a new study that is out now that is talking

(02:12:52):
about teens and the media and how much they they
well dislike it. Study that just came out revealed a
widespread negative attitude towards news media among thirteen to eighteen
year olds here in the US. Kat Murphy, who is
a college student, has wanted to be a journalist since

(02:13:14):
she was about eleven, and many of her friends don't
understand why. And by the way, this is a danger
that we have when it comes to the media industry,
the news media industry. There's not enough people getting into
that industry anymore, which is not a good thing because
going up in the future, we're gonna have less and
less journalists, less and less reporters, and the less that
you have of that, the harder it is to keep

(02:13:37):
government accountable. Not that it really matters all that much
right now, because well we know how the media really
truly is. But according to the new study, it is
showing that the kids between thirteen and eighteen, they have
a very negative feeling towards the media, and the press

(02:13:57):
rarely fares well even in the survey of a adults.
But it's kind of an eye opening thing to see
the same kind of disdain for the media from people
that are younger, that are that are still forming and
that are still growing and still learning, and they're looking
at the media and going, wait a second. And one
of the reasons for this is because of things like

(02:14:19):
social media. Social media now because we have so many journalists,
so many citizen journalists out there now who are able to,
in a matter of just sixty seconds or three minutes,
can say, hey, this is what Donald Trump said today,
And let me show you what Donald Trump said. And

(02:14:40):
you see Donald Trump say, we need to fix the
crimes whatever, we're we're gonna deport all the bad guys,
and we're gonna make your city save Okay, And then
you turn on the news and what do you hear
from the news. Donald Trump is a big evil man
and he's going after people and he's he's jailing people
for there no reason whatsoever. Well, at least thirteen to

(02:15:03):
eighteen year olds and more, they're looking at their social
media going, I saw the video that this guy posted
where he showed Donald Trump saying completely the opposite. You
have young influencers who are taking to social media and saying, hey,

(02:15:24):
this is the X, Y and Z of something, and
they turn on the media and they see something completely different.
So it's not a surprise at all that we are
seeing the younger generation, who is very much so involved
in social media, having less and less respect for the media.
And when asked by the News Literacy Project for one

(02:15:46):
word that describes today's news media, eighty four percent of
the teens responded with something negative, saying either biased, crazy, boring, fake, bad, depressing, confusing,
and scary. Those are the words that these thirteen to
eighteen year olds that were surveyed describes the news media.

(02:16:09):
And again, you can find and this is a crazy
thing and believe it or not. As part of my
show prep, sometimes I will sit there and scroll through
social media like TikTok for crying aloud, of all things, TikTok, TikTok.
You would be amazed at how much stuff that you
will find. Now, granted, you shouldn't take just what TikTok says.

(02:16:29):
You should see a story and go, oh wait a second,
let me research that a little bit didn't see that
coming up. And then you do some research and go, oh,
holy cow. Now there's some people that are completely off
based on some things, but there's actually a lot of
very accurate information on there, and there are some very
reliable people that are delivering news. There's a kid, I
want to say he's either from the UK or South

(02:16:50):
Africa or maybe Australia one of them, where he calls
himself news Daddy, and he gets out there and he
does something very rarely. Is he ever kind of biased
on things? Very rarely. He usually just gets out there
and tells the facts about it. But this is something
that's being delivered in a way where you look at it.
It's got colorful background, neon sign news daddy, young, good looking,

(02:17:13):
blonde haired kid who gets out there and tells you
here's some of the news stuff that's going on. Somebody
that at thirteen to eighteen year old is going to
look at and go hmm and be interested. They don't
trust the media anymore because the media has lied so
much that they've done it to themselves. I mean, this
is not that I'm telling you something you don't already know,

(02:17:34):
but more than half of the teens that were surveyed
believe that journalists regularly engage in unethical behaviors like making
up details or quotes in stories and paying sources and
taking visual images out of context, or doing favors for
advertisers like and then less than the third believe that

(02:17:54):
reporters correct their errors confirmed facts before reporting them, and
gather information from multiple sources or cover stories in the
public interest. These are thirteen to eighteen year olds that
are surveyed, and that's the response that they have towards
the media. And to some degree, the teens are reflecting

(02:18:16):
the attitudes that they're exposed to, particularly when the most
prominent politician of their day, Donald Jump made the Fox
News A or the fake News A mantra. Experts are
even coming out saying that few teens follow news regularly
or learn in school about the purpose of journalism. They're

(02:18:39):
killing journalism. And thankfully though, we do have plenty of
citizen journalists that are willing to take up the task
and do what they're doing. But again, these are teenagers
that are feeling this way. And if the teenagers are
feeling this way now about news, then this means that
there's going to be less unless that are going to

(02:19:00):
want to get into that industry, and it's only going
to progressively get worse, which can be dangerous because if
you don't have media, even though the media right now is,
let's face it, extremely biased. You know, we look at
all the major networks and the stuff that they do,
but if there's even less, that message can be controlled
even more. And think about how bad that'll be. I mean,

(02:19:20):
think about it now when you look at all the
things that we have access to, we have instant access.
Oh my god, there's something going on right now in
at the place that I'm at. Let me get my
phone live boom here I am. I'm showing to you
live on my phone on the interwebs. You're seeing it
as it happens. With the news media that generally doesn't happen.

(02:19:42):
You'll see film at eleven, you know, the film at
eleven that's got to fit into a certain timeslot and
it's been edited down to fit the narrative. So what
goes on with the news and now whenever we hear something,
when we hear Rachel Madcow or read are these others
saying something, we have the ability today to go Second,
let me tell you that up. I got to find

(02:20:03):
this out. Okay, here's three or four different sources. They're
all kind of saying something a little bit different than
what she's saying, but they're all kind of about ye
that that doesn't make any sense. She's lying. We have
that access. We didn't have it before when we had
to wait for the newspaper to come out or wait
for the eleven o'clock news to find out what happened.
And how do we know that it was honest? And

(02:20:26):
when you look at today's media, yeah, well, honesty may
not have been a big thing throughout the times as well.
It makes you wonder how many things in the past
we thought were true we're actually not. So this should
be kind of a wake up sign for the media
that maybe it's time to change things up. Maybe the

(02:20:46):
presentation of how you do things and working on accountability
and being to a point where where people are actually
going to look at you and say, Okay, I got
a little bit more respect for you because you're to
bring it in a way that I feel it. And
you're also being a little bit more honest because I
fact checked you and you were wrong. And of course,

(02:21:10):
with a lot of the media right now. It is
controlled by the One World Order group of people. I mean,
you look at the major conglomerates of news, where you
will see a script that has passed down that everybody's
got to read the same script. That's the stuff that
we see over and over again. That's the type of
stuff that it's got to stop. But it is interesting

(02:21:30):
to see how this report coming out pointing out that
teenagers they're not happy in the news Literacy project. They
also said that two thirds of the teens could not
think of anything when asked what movies or TV shows
come to mind when they think about journalism. You ask
somebody older, we can think about it. Those who did

(02:21:54):
have answers most frequently they said things like spider Man
or Anchorman, the legendary, the legend of ron Burgundy, but
nothing that actually portrays news as a flattering thing, a
respectable thing. They think about the jokes of what the
media is and they've done it to themselves. And then

(02:22:16):
you've got Rachel mad Cow. Oh, Rachel Madcow. She's now
out claiming that Republicans will call for Pete Heegsath's resignation. Why,
I mean, there's gonna be some Republicans, the ones that
are that are weak anyhow and that they're gonna fall
for the Democrat motion. There'll be a few that will
be like, oh my god, you're right, we need to

(02:22:38):
call for Pete Heggsath to resign because I'm weak, can't
stand up to anything. But yesterday on mss MS now's Deadline,
Rachel mad Coow predicted that Republican lawmakers will ask Secretary
of War Pete Hegseth to resign because of a reporting
allegedly improper improperly handling of the drug vote strikes in

(02:22:58):
the Caribbean Sea. Now, just out of curiosity for everybody
that's watching on YouTube and whimkin and rumble real quickly,
is there anybody just give a hands up or whatever
that you are against what the military and Donald Trump
and Pete Hegseth is doing right now in the Caribbean

(02:23:21):
by taking out these drug smuggling boats, these terrorists smuggling
boats and reducing these this traffic by ninety one percent.
Anybody against it, go ahead, I'll give you a second.
I need some coffee. Statistically, there should be one of you.

(02:23:44):
That's what I thought. And again this is another example
of why people just don't trust the media. The only
people that are against it are Democrats. Republicans aren't in
any Republican lawmaker that turns around and says, oh, yeah,
we should get rid of Pete Hegseth because he's doing

(02:24:04):
the boat strikes. They're gonna have to deal with us.
We're gonna have to be the ones that say, mmmm, yeah, nobody,
keep it up. We don't want the drugs brought into
our country. As a matter of fact, let's start doing
some drone attacks and some of the ones that are
trying to sneak it across the border. Let's keep it up.

(02:24:25):
Why because it works. Ninety one percent of the traffic
has dropped when it comes to these boats since they
started doing this. But Mad Cow came out and she
said that I don't and I love this too. I
don't understand why we're going to war with Venezuela. Really,

(02:24:49):
you you were the you're the host of a news
program on a national international level, and you don't understand
why we're going to war with Venezuela. Did you think
that maybe before making that statement, before going on the air,

(02:25:13):
you should have maybe looked at everybody in the room.
And said, does anybody here know why we're going to
war with Venezuela. I'm kind of stupid, so I don't
know why are we doing it? What has Venezuela done
that we should go to war with them? But she
continues on saying that I'm not sure the administration is
even bothered to try to come up with anything even

(02:25:36):
internally coherent. She goes on to say, so what we
are doing there in the first place, or what are
we doing there in the first place? Why are we
blowing out of the water and killing people in boats
with outboard motors, with some of which aren't even pointed

(02:25:56):
towards the United States, let alone verified you have drugs
on them, Let alone, even if they did, if they
were coming to the United States, they had the capacity
to reach the United States, and they're filled with drugs.
Why isn't it possible to just interdict them and in
the way that the Coastguard does, where you go and

(02:26:18):
you take the drugs, and you put those people on
trial and investigate and then follow the drugs and then
the resources of the origin and then take care of
it because stupid democrats like you will let them off.
And by the way, these boats do make it to America.
Why do we know that because we've seen him wash

(02:26:39):
ashore in Florida again, do an ounce of research before
opening your big What was it that I saw? Gutfeld
said it the other day, opening your the butthole, you
call your mouth. It's a great line. So before you
open up the butthole, you call your mouth. Props to

(02:26:59):
Greg gut Filled on that one. Maybe you should research
it a little bit. And the idea again that it
discourages people when the coast guard arrests them. You know
it is not discouraged them. We continue to see the
traffic shore. The Coastguard comes up on them on boats,

(02:27:20):
they pull them off the boats, they arrest them when
they get up into the areas, and they put them
on trial and all the other stuff, and nothing ever happens,
and everybody looks at it and goes, not a big deal.
You know what changes your mind when you're turned into
a pink mist. When you see your fellow drug runners
turn into a pink mist, You're gonna step back and go,

(02:27:47):
you know what, now, now, I'm not gonna do that.
And that's the reason why we saw within just a
few weeks within a month and a half two months
time period of us doing this one percent drop Rachel.
That's why it's called stop playing games and take it serious.

(02:28:08):
And sure, it's sad that somebody lost a father or
brother or son or whatever it is because we turned
them into a pink mist for them breaking the laws
and attacking a country with bringing drugs and all this
other stuff to us. Yeah, that's that's sad. But you
know what, that's the consequences that you get when you
play that game. When you're gonna play that game, that's

(02:28:31):
what happens to you. But again, this goes to show
how stupid the left is. Oh my god, why would
we do this. Why don't we just use the coast
Guard to stop them, put them on trial and investigate them,
and then we can go after the source. We are
going after the source, Rachel. What do you think we're
doing in Venezuela. Not to mention, we're also looking to

(02:28:55):
make the country better and turn it back into a
capitalist country when it was doing well. Unlike doctor Rita Dean,
who's like, capitalism and communism is the future, it's the
only way to go because capitalism is is an absolute failure. Yeah,
you know what. Venezuela was a capitalist state. It did fantastic.

(02:29:17):
It went communist, socialist and went into the shitter. That's
the difference. Rachel, do a hint of research, look at things,
and you will find out. We got to take a
quick break. We'll be right back. Rick Scott's gonna be
joining us next. All right, welcome back to the Brian

(02:29:50):
Rush Show. Thanks so much for I think it's part.

Speaker 4 (02:29:52):
Of that day.

Speaker 3 (02:29:53):
I want to welcome back to the show. A Senator,
Rick Scott d A senator, Good morning, welcome back to
the show.

Speaker 4 (02:30:00):
Well, it's good to be with you. Is it chilly there?
It's Chile in DC.

Speaker 3 (02:30:04):
You know what, I have no idea. I haven't even
reared my ugly head outside. You had to see after
yesterday's rainy weather. I don't even want to know what
today is. I'm just going to run with it and
see what happens. But yeah, it is it's kind of
cold up here. Yeah, and hopefully we won't need any
healthcare because healthcare right now is is such a mess.
And this is kind of what we want to talk
about a little bit, because you had an op ed

(02:30:24):
just recently on Fox News, uh, talking about the Obamacare
and the ACA and being somebody who unfortunately had to
be on the ACA for a couple of months of myself,
I personally can tell you how much of an absolute
disaster that is costing me four thousand dollars just in
that two month time period that I was on it.
And it's a disaster and we need to do something

(02:30:45):
about it. What are your thoughts? What do you think
is going on with healthcare?

Speaker 4 (02:30:50):
Well, let's all let's all first acknowledge the healthcare system.
The American healthcare system has failed as prices are too high,
they're not focused on the patient. So I grew up
in a family that didn't have actually any money, so
we lived in public house and I remember when my
little brother had a significant disease, my mom couldn't find

(02:31:10):
somebody take care of him because she had no money.
So he finally found a charity. My mom found a
charity hospital four hours away. So I think number one
is we got to figure out how do we make
sure everybody has access to good quality healthcare. Unfortunately, Bombacare
was told on a lie. You know, people lost their doctors,
lost their plans. Was supposed to save twenty five hundred
dollars a family, and the opposites have costed gone up.

(02:31:33):
So the only way this is going to get fixed
is one we acknowledge we have a problem, and then
we've got to support Obamacare. It's failed its so we've
got to get the consumer back end, the buyer health care.
The only way we're going to do that is basically
instead of a subsidy, which I want to make sure
people have access health care. So if you're entitled to

(02:31:53):
a subsidy under Obamacare, we're going to give it to
you in cash through a health savings account that you
can buy for health care now you want to. You
might want to pay directly for something, or you might
want to pay a premium of co payment to aductble.
But every family and every person might have different healthcare needs,
and you should buy what you need, not what some
government tells you to do or what uh some insurance

(02:32:15):
company tells you you have to buy. So we ought to,
you know, we got to get it back to you know,
it's going to be a bottoms up controlled by the
consumer healthcare system. Guess what it's people are going to
shop and spend their money better.

Speaker 3 (02:32:29):
Yeah, So for those that don't know. You know, you
do have a history in the the healthcare industry. You've
you've been involved in owning uh hospitals, so you've got
a lot of a really inside knowledge of a lot
of this. And one of the things that I have
said over and over again when it comes to the
healthcare situation, and myself being somebody who has a kidney transplant,

(02:32:51):
I have been part of the healthcare system for my
entire adult life. You know, I've I've obviously got a
lot of vested interest in making sure healthcare is taken
care of. Let me ask this one thing, because this
is what I have said over and over again that
I think we missed the boat often because every politician
comes out and they say, oh, we've got to fix
the insurance. We've got to fix this, and we've got

(02:33:12):
to fix the insurance. We insurance, this insurance, that Obamacare
is horrible, Let's find a replacement. Why is it that
nobody is addressing the actual root cause to the cost
of health and care, and that being the actual cost
what it's costing hospitals and doctors to provide the care
to us. Because that obviously has passed along to the

(02:33:34):
insurance companies and then passed along to us. Why do
we not address that? Why is nobody like taking that
on and saying, hey, healthcare industry, how can we make
the industry more affordable and you guys still make profit
and people still be able to afford it?

Speaker 4 (02:33:50):
Well, it's hard, I think. I think. You know, one,
we don't elect a lot of people that have actually
run anything. I mean in the sin that there's really
two of us that Tron Johnson and the Center from Wisconsin.
Uh so there's not we you know, I'm pushing a
lot of people have never run anything. They've never they've
never had to fix something, they've never started business. They so,

(02:34:12):
So I think that's I think that's part of it.
And part of it is it's just hard. The easiest
thing to say, here, let me throw some money at it,
you know, and what would if you if you actually think,
think what we've done to to our middle class and
our poorness country. We've said, okay, we're going to make
everything cheaper somehow, No they didn't. So when I got

(02:34:33):
one of my first new car cost sixteen hundred and
twenty five dollars, all right, I guess what's happened Because
of government, rules, government, regulation, government, government, government. I mean
now I think the average new car price is fifty thousand.
My best friend bought bought a house after high school.
He paid twenty one thousand dollars for brand new three
bed than one that's house. Probably now that same house

(02:34:54):
with sell for three to two thousand bucks in a
in a suburb. You look at healthcare, you look at it,
look at education, all these things, it's because government has
gotten involved. So what we've got to say to ourselves is,
let's get government out of this. Let's let's let's figure
out how do we get the people back to be
in shoppers. How can we get them to watch how

(02:35:17):
dollars are spent? And they will you want, you know,
so like our kids watch the dollars that they have
more than the dollars than when we're paying for something.
So it's the same concept. People say, well, you know,
I think I can do this smarter. I'm gonna I'm
gonna shop. It's like, yeah, so I think I think
we can fix it. I'm committed to fixing the healthcare system,

(02:35:38):
and so I'm optimistic that we can uh get this done.
That's what my bill does. It goes back to the basics.
Let's give, let's make the let's make the American citizens.
But I think it is very smart, uh the buyer.
My my adopted dad had a six er education, my
mom had eleventh grade education. They didn't have a lot
of schooling, but they have a lot of commons. That's

(02:36:00):
the American public. They have a lot of common sense.
Whether it doesn't matter how much schooling they have. They
don't need somebody tell them, Oh, this and we know
what's exactly best for you. So you have to buy
this and this insurance and you got to cover this. No,
let me buy what I know is good for my family.

Speaker 3 (02:36:17):
Yeah, I mean it does need to get back to
the control of the consumers. And and I hope that
because even you kind of highlighted it that, you know,
the more you get government involved into it, you know,
it's kind of the more expensive it gets. And maybe
that is the solution when it comes to the health
care cost is maybe getting the government out of it
a little bit more, because we all know that every

(02:36:38):
a regulation equals more money and and more costs. Yeah,
so it really and I know that a lot of
people are also concerned, you know, Obviously, during the shutdown
that went down, the Democrats took on that fight about oh,
it's all about healthcare and we've got to get the
health care for the illegals and everything else. And I
think that rubbed a lot of people, even Democrat photos.

(02:37:01):
I think it rubbed a lot of them wrong when
we're struggling for our own health care stuff. And then
this was exposed and we saw what the Democrats did.
What effort is.

Speaker 4 (02:37:10):
Being they make sure they got paid by the way, yeah,
because I've been up here, said you shut down government, Okay,
you don't get paid. And guess what about one Democrat
supports that.

Speaker 3 (02:37:21):
Yeah, they don't because they're they're all about the money
in the in the greed. But is there anything that
is being done to address the the high cost of
illegals that are that are taking our healthcare? I mean, look,
they said, oh, illegals are not out of insurance. Okay,
we'll give you that, but they're still using our healthcare system. Uh,
and it's costing us so much money.

Speaker 4 (02:37:42):
And you know they're covering they cover illegals, I mean
they you know, they cover illegals through state medicaid programs
that we pay the taxpayers a portion of No, we're
we First off, if you come in in this country, okay,
you should not go on a welfare program, exactly right, right,

(02:38:05):
you that that is not your what we should We
should have an immigration system that people don't want to
come and go to work, come to our country. You
don't come into our country and say, oh, I want
a bunch of free stuff. I want a free hotel room,
I want free food stamps, I want free healthcare, I
want free, free, free. No, right, this is our country.

(02:38:26):
You don't have a right to come into this country. Right.
If you are, you will be invited, right, and we're
going to look at your background. If you don't believe
in the capital system, if you don't believe in our
way of government, we do not want you in our country.
We don't want you to selling drugstore kids and our grandkids.
We don't want you taken tax dollars dollars for free stuff.

(02:38:46):
If you want to come and work, you're brought off.
We you know, we're receptive, but but other than that,
we're not.

Speaker 3 (02:38:52):
Yeah, I mean you you look at our ancestors that
came to this country. That's exactly what happened. Uh, you know,
you didn't come to this country unless you were able
to to actually support it and provide it. And it
seems like the Democrats are taking this other way where
we just bring in welfare projects and it cost us
tons of money. I mean, look at the situation in
Minnesota with the the was it one point seven billion dollars?

Speaker 4 (02:39:15):
Oh, it's like that the numbers gonna be bigger than
And by the way, walks knew it. Yeah, I mean
they knew this was happening. Yeah, right, because you know, people,
we just think about when you go vote, think about
what you're getting mm pit people's pit people not based
on their party, right. People, Are you going to do?

(02:39:38):
I think you can do the job? Okay? And what
are you going to do? Are you going to help
my family get a job. Are you gonna help my
kids get an education? Are you going to keep me safe?
Are you going to get the hell out of my life?
I don't need you to tell me how to run
my life.

Speaker 3 (02:39:50):
Yeah, exactly. And you know the situation that we've got
with the healthcare, it is important. I know that myself.
I mean obviously with my health condition. You know, healthcare
is important to me. It's important to our elderly and
when we're seeing things like yeah, though the one point
five million or whatever, the heck it was illegals that
were on Medicare that was discovered, and the people that

(02:40:13):
shouldn't have been on medicare to begin with because they're
able bodied workers. This is the type of stuff that
really gets the people upset and we want to see
some results. And I know that you're driving, Brian.

Speaker 4 (02:40:24):
Yeah, Bran. The Democrats want, you know, somebody making forty bucks,
you know, forty thousand dollars a year, twenty bucks an
hour to pay for somebody's healthcare making two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars a year. Yeah, tell me how that's fair.

Speaker 3 (02:40:36):
Yeah, it's not fair at all.

Speaker 4 (02:40:37):
We need to do. What we need to do is
rebuild the middle class. And the way you do that
is you get better jobs, right, you get better education,
not more expensive education, you get better education. We should
have way higher standards for what comes out of our schools.
And if you're going to university and you don't walk

(02:40:58):
out with a good paying job, so that university should
give you your money back.

Speaker 3 (02:41:03):
Absolutely. I mean, the education system and job training in
this country is I think that's a whole other argument
and conversation that we could probably spend a good thirty
minutes on. But we definitely need to do something with
the healthcare the issue, and I hope that you guys
up there in DC we'll look into the regulations and
what is costing healthcare to be so high, and that

(02:41:25):
we take a serious look at the plan that you have, Senator.
Where can people get a look at the plan that
you have for the healthcare?

Speaker 4 (02:41:35):
You can go to Rick Scott dot Senate dot gov.
If you go to Rick Scott dot cener dot CoV
you can get it.

Speaker 3 (02:41:41):
Okay, excellent, Well, Senator Rick Scott. I hope you keep
up this fight in this because this is an important
one not only for those of us here in the
state of Florida, but around the country. And the amount
of waste and fraud and abuse that we are seeing
in the healthcare industry right now and the insurance. I
think it's taken off a lot of Americans right now,
and this is definitely a fight that we need to
we need to fight and win without a doubt.

Speaker 4 (02:42:04):
Yep, absolutely too, excellent.

Speaker 3 (02:42:06):
Senator Rick Scott. As always enjoy having our conversation. Can't
wait to have another conversation with you with step two
of this process and see where it's going. But keep
up that.

Speaker 4 (02:42:15):
Fight your next journey.

Speaker 3 (02:42:17):
Oh, thank you so much. I do appreciate it, Senator
Rick Scott, have a fantastic day. We'll talk with you
again soon.

we'll get into more of that some other time. But uh,
the healthcare situation, we got to address it. We got

control and uh, hopefully they'll they'll do something about it.
