Well, Hello, welcome to the show. Happy Monday. I hope
you had a fantastic weekend. Appreciate you checking out the
show today right here. I'm a Florida me at Radio Network,
also streaming it this morning on Rumble and on Wimken.
Good morning to all of our Whimkenights or what we
like to call our rusties, and to everybody over there
at Rumble as well, and of course those checking out
the show on the podcast, which I gotta say thank

(02:01):
you to the growth of the podcast. In the past month,
we have seen a six hundred and sixty one percent
increase in the podcast downloads of the show around the
world and around the country in a lot of places
that are kind of surprising. But either way, thank you
so much for checking out the show. We do appreciate it.

(02:22):
And of course if you are listening to it on
the podcast or watching it on Rumble or whim can
hit the like buttons. And I hate to say it
that way, I really do it because that sounds like
one of those stupid influencers. Hey, if you like the

its We're good. We're good on the English today, are
we But anyway, it helps with getting the message out
about the show. So there you go. Appreciate it things.
Thank you so much. We got a lot to talk
about today coming up later on on the show. Speaking
of wimken dot com, Uh, wimken dot COM's founder, Jason

(03:07):
Shepherd is gonna be joining us again this morning. We
we just talked to them the other day about some
completely different things, but we're gonna talk with him again
because now he is he's part of this class action
lawsuit that's going after some of the social media's uh,
for all of the the censorship, the demonetization, and so
much more. So we're gonna chat with him about that

(03:28):
coming up later on, because it's hard to imagine at
this point that we are still in this point of censorship,
but we are. It's it's really sad that it is
that we're there at this point, but we still are.
And we're gonna talk with Jason coming up later on
this morning about that. And of course, one of the

(03:48):
big things that a lot of people are talking about, uh,
you know, good, bad rumor whatever it might be, and
that is the uh, the Alaska summit with Donald Trump
and President Putin, and you just watching the left melt
down over this thing has been entertaining, entertaining to say
the least. Now, one of the things that I think

(04:11):
everybody's got to keep in mind when it comes to
the negotiations to end all of this, and that is
that this was the first face to face meeting with Putin.
Regarding this first time, first time we've done it. Since
Donald Trump has become president, he has had Zelenski at

(04:35):
the White House. How many times? Now, seriously, how many
times has he had him there to talk about ending
the war and getting more supplies than all this other
He's had me here a million times. And of course
the left is like, you didn't bring Zelenski or the
European unions involved to the Alaska to talk about it,

(04:56):
And this is another example of Donald Trump being a
puppet of Putin. Well, I guess we could say the
same thing, why didn't you bring Putin in when you
talked with Zelensky the other times. I'm just this this
level of Trump derangement, in Trump hating syndrome. And I
think that's the other thing too. I think we also

(05:18):
have to have thhs, not only tds, because there is
a Trump derangement syndrome as a whole, where you know,
you just you. You can't function as a normal human being.
You have a zero ability to be able to rationally
think about anything that I think that's what TDS is.

(05:40):
But then there is THHS. Where's the it's the Trump
hating syndrome, where again, it doesn't matter what Donald Trump does.
Donald Trump could have actually come up with a ceasefire
and a complete end to the war on Friday right
there in Alaska, and people would have hated Donald Trump
because he did it without Zelensky. And even let's put

(06:05):
it in this way, this is how bad it is.
Russia could have said, all right, yeah, we're not gonna
take it anymore, and we're also gonna give back Crimea,
and we're gonna pay for all the destruction that we
did to Ukraine and we're going to we're gonna give
them extra money for it, and it's gonna be okay,
everything's gonna be fine. And they would still complain, they

(06:28):
would still hate on Donald Trump for it. I mean,
I can't imagine what it's like going through life. Look,
we all have people that we don't like. I have
a little ex wife that I'm not particularly fond of.
Could care less if she dropped dead tomorrow. I really
could care less. I mean, that's my level of hatred

(06:48):
towards that woman. I don't care, but I don't dwell
on it. It's not one of these things where I
wake up in the morning and granted had been divorced
for a few decades, so it's like not a big deal.
But these people, they harp on it. They wake up
in the morning and go, how can I hate Donald
Jump today? I gotta do something to hate Donald Trump?

(07:11):
What can I do to show my hatred for Donald Trump?
What can you do to get yourself mentally better? I
mean that the thing is what you should really be
working on. Instead of waking up in the morning and
just wondering, how can I hate Donald Trump today? You
should start up to say how can I improve my life?
How can I improve my mental health today? And of

(07:33):
course a lot of their solution is Donald Trump will
just not be the president. My mental health would be fine. Look,
we hated Barack Obama, we hated Joe Biden. We didn't
like the things that they did, and we were vocal
about it, but we were not ruining our lives and
our mental health was not going to the streets because

(07:55):
of the fact that he was the president. As a
matter of at half the time, we laughed at a
lot of the stuff with Joe Biden at the same time,
going this is stupid. This has got to be fixed,
this has got to be stopped. But none of us
got to a point where we would wake up and
spend our day going.

Speaker 5 (08:12):
Oh god, Joe Biden is the president. Oh my god,
my entire life is miserable. It's all over because Joe
Biden's the president. Now, we just called out the stupid
stuff that he did. But you get these the people
that have the thhs and the tds every day, every

(08:34):
single day, like Harry Sisson comes out now. And of
course one of the problems for Harry Cissan is that
you know now that the DNC is not really paying
him anymore, he's got to come up with things on
his own on how MAGA and Donald Trump is horrible
and hopes that people are actually.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Gonna be saying something to him.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Now.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
A year ago, if you logged onto any one of
Harry Sisson's social media's, you would see thousands, like tens
of thousands of likes and comments and all this other stuff.
Now you log onto it, and you see hundreds of
comments and a couple thousand likes, maybe a couple hundred shares,

(09:15):
and that's it because people have gotten to a point
now where they're over this, this leftist propaganda message and
they're tired of it. Like this morning or last night,
Harry Sisson comes up and he's like, I see a
lot of Magafans are crying in my comments because I'm
publicly bullying their favorite right wing grifting influencers. My message

(09:37):
to them, cry more, thank you, Harry J. Sisson. Nobody's
crying in your comments, Harry. If anything, people have gotten
fed up with you, and they're not in your comments
going that's right, Harry, you're our hero like they used to.
I mean it was pathetic, like you would you would

(09:58):
look into the the comment section of Harry System's post
last year and even before that, and you would see
these people that would just fawn over him. Oh my god, Harry,
you're the greatest. Thank you so much for standing up
for America and our democracy. Now people are just making
fun of him. They're getting there, they're correcting him, and

(10:20):
he doesn't know how to handle it anymore. And of
course he comes out with his lies. All these mega fans,
they're crying in my comments. We're not crying. None of
us are crying. See, we don't cry. I mean we do,
but we don't cry about this stuff. We don't cry that.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
You know.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Oh my god, you're making fun of somebody that's a
social media influencer. Oh my goodness. It doesn't ruin our day.
As a matter of fact, I know exactly what he's
talking about. He's talking about the older millennial. The older millennial,
him and Harry Sisson. If you haven't been on this
social media war path that's been going on, and it

(11:00):
has been going on for a while now, the older millennial.
He is somebody who's obviously in his older millennial. He's
a veteran, he works in business, and it is a
pretty smart guy. He hasn't had the perfect life. He's
made some mistakes in his life. He's just a regular
kind of normal dude who's made some mistakes, not a

(11:21):
big deal. Doesn't try to hide it, comes out and
he says it, and Harry says on his tried his
hardest to just slam on this guy, to make him
be irrelevant. But the problem is is that he comes
out and corrects Harry. He corrects Harry when here he
comes out with his propaganda and then Harry's got to
bash back and what I love And if you're watching

(11:44):
on Rumble and Whimken, you'll see what I'm talking about here.
When Harry will do this, he will he'll green screen
behind him the older Millennials video and he sits there
and he's like, I mean, that's his response to everything.
Like he's trying to like, I don't even know what

(12:05):
the hell he's trying to do. To be perfectly honest
with you, the kid is such a tea waffle. It's ridiculous,
but it is funny to watch the fall of Hairbear
and to watch how he so desperately, along with so
many of the other people that are trying to be
social media influencers, desperately try to be relevant. Now, I
don't know if anybody saw this one too. There was

(12:27):
and I posted this video, and that discussion just reminds
me that I haven't logged on to Facebook yet. Not
that I really want to be, but I am. There
was a video that I posted of a Mexican influencer
who was being arrested, and this Mexican influencer happens to
also be Yes, you guessed it. Any illegal alien here

(12:49):
in the country who has been bashing Trump and bashing
all the anti immigration stuff and everything else, well finally
got busted, got busted by eye and was well carried
away and the left losing their minds over it. It's
like you were here illegally, is what is to be

(13:13):
so damn upset about it? You broke a law because
remember you harp on this on us all the time
about no one's above the law. Well, right, no one
is above the law, and that includes people from other
countries who come to our country and break the law
to get here.

Speaker 6 (13:30):
Simple.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Is that.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Simple? Is that it's not that difficult. But the social
media world going crazy over that video, you know, and
how evil it is that Donald Trump is doing that
to this illegal influencer. And this is the other thing too,
about the influences. They act as if they are the
most important people. It's like they're the new Hollywood, the

(13:54):
new Hollywood that gets out there and be like, I'm
an influencer. You don't understand. You have to you have
to look at me and realize how important I am
because I'm an influencer. It's like, you're not an influencer.
You're somebody who has no skills, no talent whatsoever. And
this is the only thing that you can do in life.
That's it. And she's gone. That's right, shoes, bye bye things,

(14:17):
you're playing. Gotta go. But speaking of illegals, kind of
talk about this one because this is the other story
that is making some serious news, especially here in the
state of Florida, and that was the truck driver. And
I think at this point, I'm sure everybody has seen
the video because it is a video that has gone viral,

(14:37):
and it is the one from the cab of the
truck where this truck driver is making an illegal U
turn on the turnpike on the state of Florida and
ends up because of his actions. There were three people
that were killed in a collision when their vehicle didn't

(14:59):
have enough time to stop slow down and careemed into
the trailer of the truck instantly, killing all three people
on board the vehicle. And it initially it started off
it was just people were kind of upset because they
were watching the video where he's making the turn and
you know, he sees the accident happen and he's like, no,

(15:19):
well it stops and puts the truck in park and
everything just kind of that has this very nonchalant kind
of attitude about, Eh, you know, somebody just hit me,
not a big deal. Well, then we come to find
out that this guy is an illegal that is here
from India and has been here since twenty eighteen. Now
that is a problem in itself, the problem in itself

(15:40):
that you have an illegal that is here that is driving.
But the other problem that we've now had and everybody's like, oh,
they have people the family should sue the truck driving company. Yeah,
but the problem is is that the man allegedly got
his commercials his CDL driver's license, this commercial driver license

(16:02):
from the state of California. Now, because of the fact
that the state of California has now allowed this illegal
to have a commercial driver's license to drive around the
country being here illegally and clearly not having good enough
training on this and has now killed three people. I

(16:29):
really truly do hope that the families of those three
people end up suing the state of California. I mean,
sure you can sue the truck company, and I'm sure
you can get a bit out of that because of
the because of the fact that it was obviously neglecting
their driver, which is you know, you know how all

(16:50):
of that works. But the fact that California has given
CDLs two illegals and this is a direct the result
of it. Now, granted, here in Florida, we've had a
few issues as well, Mark, I just saw your comment
out of the corner of my eye. That's funny. We

(17:15):
had an issue here in Florida and happened to be
locally here where we do the show out of Panama City,
where there were people in the driver's license in the
task collector's office that was essentially selling driver's licenses. Now,
one of the things a lot of people don't realize
is that it was actually the task collector that caught

(17:37):
on to that and kind of initiated the investigation into it,
even though it was kind of his employees. But he
didn't just simply fire them. He said, hey, let's do
the investigation in this, and let's hit them up and
hurt them for it. They got arrested for it and everything,
and it happened. But in the state of California, it's
not just somebody who's working in the driver's license department
that says, you know, hey, throw me a couple of

(17:59):
Benjamins and I'll throw your license. California's okay with this.
This is a problem that we have, and it's just
just the same thing as those who, you know, when
Trump came up with the executive order that if you
can't speak English, you shouldn't be driving a truck. Which,
believe me, if you've ever had to deal with trucking companies,
which I've done, that, it's not fun to deal with

(18:20):
when you had to have the translator on your app
and phone and you're translating back and forth to be
able to get something done. But the fact that this
guy was here illegally driving a truck illegally and took
the lives of three innocent people because of his incompetence, Yes,
California should be sued for that, and Gavin Newsom make

(18:42):
him part of that lawsuit, make him responsible. All right,
we got to take a quick break. We'll be right back.
This is the Brian Rushow right here on the Florida
Man Radio Network and streaming on Rumbleandwimkin dot com. Hang on,
we will be right back. Good morning, Happy Monday.

Speaker 6 (19:05):
Making liberals cry, one happy show at a time. This
is the Brian Rust Show.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
All right, welcome back to the show. Good morning, Happy Monday,
and thanks so much for getting your day started off
with today. You do appreciate it. All right. I'm gonna
give you a heads up before I even start talking
about this story. This one, This one might make you
giggle a little bit, but just so you have to
understand the level of dedication and who it is that

(19:39):
we have that is going up against the movement, those
who are trying to stop Donald Trump, and how serious
they are about it. Now, we have seen some of
the videos with and I don't know if you've seen them,
I've seen them of the leftists that are basically just
trying to prepare themselves that they're getting ready for against

(20:00):
the extreme MAGA people, which, by the way, your idea
of getting ready for war is gonna really get you hurt.
But I've seen things like one of my favorites was,
there's hey, a boxing ring where this guy that's got
the glove up, you know, the glove that you hit
when you come up, and everybody's coming around and taking
a turn at hitting it. The lag of testosterone within

(20:26):
that ring is unbelievable. You see the corp there. Ugh,
I'm just seeing. You're thinking to myself, going, if you
came up and hit me like that while I was
drinking my coffee, I probably wouldn't have even spilt any cough.
I probably wouldn't. I would have had the coffee cup

(20:48):
at my mouth drinking coffee and wouldn't have even gotten
a little drizzle on the side of my mouth. If
you came up and hit me like that. And you
think that this is you preparing for war, preparing to
take on the MAGA people. Paul Hun, you got some problems.
You really got some problems. But now James Comy is

(21:10):
jumping up to talk about how tough he is. Oh,
James Comy, now here's one. Oh Lord, have mercy. I
don't even I don't even. I don't even want to
do this story because I just I feel testosterone oozing
out of my body and leaving me in sympathy over this.

(21:32):
But the former FBI director James Comy has now declared
himself a Taylor Swift fan or aka a SWIFTYE. He's
a SWIFTYE. Yeah, And in the video that he posted
to social media. On Sunday, he says that the pop
stars music gives him the strength to oppose President Donald Trump.
I'm not making this up. I really I'm not. I'm not.

(21:55):
You know what, Hang on a second. We we we
can't just we can't just hang on. We we we
gotta do this right. If we're gonna if we're gonna
do this, we're gonna do it the right way. What
the hell am I looking for here? Hang on? I
should have been a little bit more prepared, but this
is just it just makes me laugh too much to
have been prepared for it. Hang on, It's just it's

(22:20):
gonna make me laugh. But it really truly, that's that's
That's all that really truly matters. So I've just so
I have this in the background while I do this story,
because I mean, Jesus, come on, okay, So James comer.
He he's saying that this, this is giving him the
strength to oppose Donald Trump. No, I can't. But he

(22:47):
says that in a family's swifty I mean a family
swifty group chat. I know all her music and I
listened to it in my headphones when I cut the grass.
Of trying to do this with a serious face, but
I'm not doing it very well, he goes on, adding
that his favorite songs are all too Well and Exile.

(23:11):
The former FBI director said that Swift's music has been
a major part of his family for several years as
they have dealt with the adversity and celebration, saying that
the pop stars example has helped him to resist bullies. This,
by the way, is a former FBI director. Now I

(23:37):
get it. You know, the man's got some daughters, so
obviously he's had to deal with Taylor Swift in the household.
I hate to admit this, but it's simply because the
fact that I work in music radio as well. I
know too much Taylor Swift music and too much about
Taylor Swift that I don't really want to know. But
I do. But it doesn't influence me at all. But
according to James Comy, it does, and he goes on

(23:59):
to say that, but I gotta be honest, it also
leaves me with a strange feeling at times. Yeah, it's
called good, but because I don't want us to become
like Trump and his followers. There are far more decent,
honest people in America than there are mean jerks, and
don't get me wrong, we have jerks, millions of them. Hey, James,

(24:21):
I don't know if you realize this, but you do
know that like ninety percent of Taylor Swift's music is
about her bashing on men and her entire like relationship career,
which I gotta call it, that has been her cheating
on her boyfriends and dumping them left and right. This
is the thing that gives you inspiration, the Lord have

(24:43):
mercy mag of people. Beware, beware, because this is what
we've got that's fighting Donald Trump and us. But he
goes out to say that I'm not an advocate for weakness.
Of course, we need to stand up to jerks and
defend what matters, but I think we have to try
to do that without becoming like them, which is what

(25:05):
makes me think about Taylor Swift. And he continued on
saying that she's made clear that she does that she
sees Donald Trump for what he is. Last year, she
urged Americans not to make the serious mistake of electing him,
and of course we're now living with the consequences of
that mistake. Yeah, because nobody cared what Taylor Swift had

(25:25):
to say, James, But why our elderly makeup covered president
is posting about whether Taylor Swift is still hot and
declaring that he can't stand her. What's she doing living
her best life, producing great music and she's urged all
of us to do during the podcast, not giving jerks

(25:50):
the power over her mind. It's just so inspirational, so inspiration.
You know, at this point, I just want to I
just want to play just a NonStop Taylor Swift thing
throughout the entire show, just so that we all can
get that inspiration. But this is James Comby, James Comy.

(26:11):
He he's now a Swiftie and it is is helping
him with gathering the strength to oppose President Donald Trump. Wow,
that was like the most unmanly segment I think I've
ever done on this show.

Speaker 7 (26:30):
I mean, just.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
Wow, James. But again, watching the left try to act
all tough and this is this is what their toughness
is their toughness. And granted, I hate saying this, I really,
I absolutely hate saying this. Taylor Swift's music is catchy,

(26:54):
but I oh, I can't imagine somebody going, oh my god,
I get my inspiration from Taylor's swift. Taylor Swift is
my inspiration to oppose Donald Jump because he's big and
mean and evil and being as swifty makes me feel
so strong. Yeah, doesn't help her boy panties stay up too,

(27:16):
I mean, come on. And then there's Gavin Newsom. Oh,
good old Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom, by the way, he
is really upset right now, and he's throwing another temper tantrum.
Maybe what he needs is to relax a little bit,

(27:40):
throw a little Taylor Swift on in the headphones, and
it would garner that support and that strength that he
needs to take on Donald Trump. But Gavin Newsom now
he's all ticked off and he's now demanding information regarding
Sunday's border patrol raid that happened outside of one of

(28:00):
his rallies in downtown Los Angeles, which, by the way,
I find to be hilarious.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
I really do.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
He was having a rally on Thursday, and this is
where the rally happened. It wasn't onsidy he was demanding
it on Sunday, but the rally happened on Thursday where
he was doing this rally, you know, to basically Jerry Mander,
the state's congressional seats because he's he's got to get
out there and get support, which, by the way, support
in California is starting to dip for all of this

(28:31):
they're there, he's not getting the support that he really
truly wants to. And what ended up happening was there
was about a dozen or so Border Patrol agents that
showed up outside of the rally and they ended up
snagging a couple of people, uh during their their little raid, which,
by the way, was funny because even the Border Patrol
agent that was in charge, he was asked by one

(28:53):
of the reporters, you know, basically, and I'm paraphrasing here,
he was like, you know, hey, you know, what do
you think about you know, the raid and what you're
doing here? And he's like, hey, just trying to make
America better. Were making America say it again, any And
it was the way that he made his comments that
were pretty funny. But Gavin Newsom throwing his temper tantrum.
I want information on this. I need to know. I

(29:17):
need to know why. But what were they doing? Why
were they why were they there? They were there because
they were doing their job. Gavin, the thing that you
refused to do, you know, we get all these arguments
from the left about the destruction of our democracy and
how Donald Trump is evil and he's destroying everything in

(29:39):
this country and destroying the freedoms and blob blah blah
blah blah. Nobody can give us examples. Have you noticed this.
Nobody's been able to give us a single example of
what it is that Donald Trump is doing to destroy things.
And on Sunday, Gavin Newsom's office issued a Freedom of
Information Act demand for information about the use of border
patrol agents in his words, against a fair electoral process

(30:06):
otherwise known as the partisan jerrymandering rally. Now, I don't
know if you knew this or not, but none of
the border agents were there arresting American citizens for having
their First Amendment right to be able to go out
and protest whether or not you agree or disagree with
the president. There's nobody getting arrested for that. Instead, there

(30:29):
were people who are here in our country illegally that
were being rounded up because well, they're not supposed to
be here. Now, I don't know what Gavin Newsom thinks
he's going to get out of this. He's going to
get a letter that's going to be like, yeah, here's
the information. We knew that there was going to be
people that were there illegally, and we are here to

(30:50):
round up illegal aliens and that's where we were. So
what's the problem here, what's the problem? Gavin? What you got?
But he's throwing his temper tansions like he he continually does.
And like I said, the the support at this point
for a lot of the gerrymandering things, uh, and the

(31:12):
the changing of a lot of the the districts is
losing a lot of support and a lot of traction.
And the fact that you know, right outside of his rally,
Ice was able to pick up several people that are
here illegally. I mean, Gavin, are you are you not
paying attention? Come on? Then, when we look at Texas,

(31:35):
the the the Texas redistricting thing, this is completely starting
to fall apart now. And today it is expected that
the remaining Texas Democrats that have fled the state to
to basically break the quorum to present there to prevent
the redistricting plan from passing or are all going to
be reporting back to work today. And they're also spending

(31:57):
the They spent the weekend just kind of getting in
there their their final last minute whining and crying. One
of the state representatives, Vicky Godwin, had taken to social
media and said that I had been really it's been
really hard for the members to stay away from Texas,
from their jobs, from their kids and families who By
the way, this woman is also running for the lieutenant

(32:18):
governor's seat next year. But she also goes on to
say it's also very expensive with a five hundred dollars
a day fine. Some members just felt like we can
make a commitment for one session quorum break, but we
really can't do it indefinitely. Yeah, because you have a job,

(32:39):
you airhead, and your job is to get in there
and vote, get in there and debate for your constituents,
regardless to whether or not do you have a majority
or minority. Your job is to get in there and fight.
And as a Democrat, your thing is to get in
there and say, hey, these are the reasons Republicans why

(33:02):
you shouldn't vote for this. This is a reason for
why Republicans you should vote with us on this. Your
job is to get in there to convince them not
to get out and run away, not to go spend
all this time in these luxury hotels in Illinois and
go in front of the cameras and act all big
and tough, because you're not. What would impress me as

(33:23):
a Republican is if you got out there and made
an argument to the Republicans and everybody else why we
should not redistrict. Make the argument, show us how good
you are and how much you are really fighting for
all of your constituents. Get out there and tell us

(33:46):
why make the argument, make the debate. Convince me. But
you can't do it. You just simply run away. Texas
State Representative John Bussey was also upset that he didn't
get to take his daughter to her first day of kindergarten.
And he's rationalizing it this way by saying they don't

(34:07):
get it today. And he did this in an interview
with the Tribune in Chicago. He said, my older daughter
seems a little frustrated with me, But one day she's
going to ten years from now, she's going to read
about this and realize just how much of a giant
pe your daddy was. I'm sorry that part wasn't in there.

(34:32):
That they're going to study Donald Trump's authoritarian power grab,
and I hope there's someone, there's some mention that her
dad fought back and that I think that that will
matter more than missing her first day of school. No,
it's not, buddy, it's really not, because she's going to
remember for the rest of her life that daddy wasn't

(34:54):
there for the first day of school, that daddy didn't
care enough about me to be there for the first
day in se and down the road, she's going to
realize when she finds out why her daddy was that
daddy ran away from his job because Daddy was a wuss,
and that daddy thinks that Donald Trump was an authoritarian.
And yet because of Donald Trump and his actions, I

(35:19):
am now safe in this country and the threat of
being raped and murdered by an illegal is no longer there.
Because she's also going to learn about all of the
illegal aliens that came to the country and raped and
murdered our daughters. And yet my daddy was fighting against
Donald Trump and missed my first day of school. You're

(35:42):
not a man, sir. You are not a man, ma'am.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
I know it is.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
Hopefully she'll realize. Yes, she's gonna realize, buddy, and it's
going to backfire on you, it's gonna absolutely backfire on you.
But so many of the other Democrats are, you know,
just going off. And one of them, the Texas Rep.
Gen Wou, who, by the way, is like the the
head of the Democrats there or whatever he is, he
said that I'm sure that the drag artists being involved

(36:14):
will help, you know, some of the fight that's going on.
It's just this is so stupid, the arguments that the
left keeps making. Simply just do your job. I don't
know why that is such a difficult thing for the
left to understand. Just do your job one day. One
day in the future, my daughter will realize that daddy

(36:35):
was fighting. So Daddy was a pus and ran away.
That's what happened. And while the left continually hope that
that history is going to look bad on Donald Trump,
you know, when you look at what it is that
that the left has been pushing and what they're wanting
to do versus what Donald Trump and the right wants

(36:57):
to do. We just want to make the country safe.

Speaker 7 (37:02):
You know.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
Yes, Donald Trump, he talks about MAGA, talks about the
MAGA supporters, talks about the rights ideology all the time.
But who is it again that Donald Trump is out
there trying to make their lives safer. And this is
the thing that the left, they really don't have the
ability to comprehend. And this is part of the TDS

(37:24):
when you look at what Donald Trump spends all of
his time on. He spends all of his time on
making blue cities and blue states safer. He's focusing on
trying to get the blue cities and the blue stains
to stop wasting your taxpayer dollars on people that are
not American citizens. And the leftist politicians and the leftist
knuckleheads all think that Donald Trump is being mean and

(37:46):
going after them. Donald Trump should almost just say, all right, fine,
good luck, we gotta take a break. We'll be right back.
This is the Brian Rush Show. Good morning. They say
he's got good jeans.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
I'm just glad he's wearing pants. This is the Brian
Rust Show.

Speaker 4 (38:12):
All right, welcome back to the show. Speaking of wearing
good jeans, this is the funniest comment I've seen all morning.
WrestleMania twenty twenty six main event, Sidney Sweeney versus Taylor Swift. Yeah,
without a doubt, Sidney Sweetey would take Taylor Swift down
in a heartbeat, absolutely destroy her on that one. Welcome

(38:33):
back to the show. Good morning, Happy Monday, Thanks for
waking up with us today. Today's gonna be a big
day in Washington, DC as European leaders along with President
Zelensky are gonna be meeting with Trump in his officials
to finish up the negotiations of what's going on with
the peace deal. And again, if if it happens, Hillary
Clinton's gonna be stepping up to the plate. We've got

(38:55):
it at video. We've got it at video. It's all
been the documented to Hillary Clinton has said, if Donald
Trump is able to get the peace deal, I will
personally nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Now we'll
see what happens. Now, a lot of the things that
people got to also get through their thick heads. When
I say people, I mean the leftists, is that when

(39:17):
it comes to the negotiations with this for the ceasefire
in the end of the war, there is going to
have to be give and take. I mean, that's that's
all there is to it. There's gonna have to be
give and take when it comes to this. So we'll
see what happens. Obviously, later on today, there's a lot
of rumor about what has been said during the Trump

(39:39):
Putin meeting that happened on Friday, which can I also
say this too. That was a major league, let's throw
them out onto the counter and measure moment that happened
in Alaska with Donald Trump, and I think Donald Trump won.
I really do. Donald Trump straight up won that competition. Now,

(40:00):
a lot of people have said this on on social media.
They've commented on it. When when we kind of talked
about the the flyover and a few other things, and
people that know would say, oh, you know, that's that's
just a normal thing the military. They do the flyover.
It's a salute. No, what you saw on Friday was
not a salute. I mean it was kind of look

(40:21):
like this, you know, one finger. It was a moment
of showing exactly how powerful we are.

Speaker 8 (40:28):
Now.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
You have to understand Donald Trump. He is a showman
and he understands how to deliver those types of messages
so that people understand what I'm trying to tell you. Generally,
when you have those flyovers, they would be while you're
stating in the in the particular space space and it
would fly over where you can look at him and

(40:49):
see him. They don't fly directly over your head. I
mean sometimes here and there. But you have to think
about what was going down with this. This was not
a military salute of hey, let's do the fly by
the honorable thing, because we do those. What we saw
was a show of power, and there's a lot of

(41:12):
things that you have to take into consideration to what
Donald Trump did, because he is the master of doing this.
First off, the cameras from all around the world are
facing the stage that says Alaska twenty twenty five. In
the background, the red carpet that rolls all the way out.

(41:33):
Air Force one rolls up to that carpet. Donald Trump
comes off of Air Force one. You have lined up
F twenty two's that you have to walk through, the
most powerful, most sophisticated fighter jet in the world, and
they're lined up as an active show. You didn't have
to do that. There was no need to do that

(41:56):
because we're just there to negotiate the end of the
ceasefire for this conflict, and instead America shows its might,
puts it on display. Donald Trump walks down the red
carpet and stops. Now, this is a thing that Putin
understands very well. Donald Trump gets to his point and stops.

(42:23):
Donald Trump doesn't come from the side, he doesn't have
to turn. He comes straight from Air Force one to
the platform. But Donald Trump stops, turns and Putin has
to walk to him from the side. Now, for a
person like Putin, and even for a person like Trump,

(42:47):
this does a big thing to your ego. It gives
you a little squirt. You're gonna squad down just a
little bit on the ego because now in front of
the world has to walk to Donald Trump, and then
from there has to turn to walk past a display

(43:11):
of the of America's fighter jets, the world's most sophisticated
fighter jets, walk past them, and as he is doing it,
a B two bomber along with four F thirty fives
screech right over their heads. Now, if you have never

(43:31):
heard the F thirty five, many of us live here
in the the the Greater Panama City area with Tindall
Air Force Base. We hear them all the time. They
are loud, like the F twenty two. The raptor has
like that. That raptor screech, if you've ever heard it,
it's kind of like yeared in in all the dinosaur movies.

(43:54):
You know, it does that sound, and it's it's loud,
but it's nowhere near as loud as an F three.
F thirty five's are just obnoxiously loud. It almost reminds
me of the F four Phantom. It's that bad. But
there's a reason for it, because they could have made
them quieter. But what good does that do? Because you remember, psychologically,

(44:17):
and this is what we're talking about all psychological stuff,
the sound of an F thirty five rip roaring through
your area when you are at battle scares the hell
out of people. I mean, number one, if you've heard it,
then you weren't the intended target. So there is that,
But having that go directly over their head, being flanked

(44:40):
by F twenty two's, having the red carpet and Putin
having to walk to meet Donald Trump and then having
to turn and walk through that. That was and d boy,
you're right there. Putin was alpha B with an Alpha A.
Trump Trump put him in check and was like, I'm

(45:01):
the man, I'm the powerful one here and you're here
to hear what I have to say, not the other
way around. He showed who had the bigger one, and
he laid it out on the counter for him. But
there are so many people out there that are like,

(45:22):
oh my god, it wasn't that big of a deal.
It was just Donald Trump's showing off. And yeah, to
a degree, was Donald Trump showing off. But this is
how Donald Trump was able to get in there and
set the tone. When that's the tone that you got
set when somebody like Putin, who is an alpha male.
I mean, look, Putin's in pretty good shape. Putin is

(45:43):
somebody who gets out there and wrestles and fights. I mean,
he's done some pretty bad things throughout his life, so
he's a total alpha male. And for him to be
knocked down several pegs, and Donald Trump, by the way,
also being like a foot and a half than Putin,
that doesn't help any either. So there's so many things

(46:04):
on the psychological level that Donald Trump played the psychological
warfare against Putin. They spent their three hours talking and
I'm sure that you know Donald Trump continued to do
a lot of his psychological things, which Putin knows very
well because Putin has done it himself. But when you
can't beat that, it brings you down a notch. There's

(46:27):
everything from and a lot of people don't realize this,
but there's things like even the handshakes. You know, when
you get the hand up on the handshake and are
also able to grab them on their arms and stuff
like that. That is a power move. And you may
not initially click in that it just happened to you,

(46:48):
but it does, and it's a very powerful thing. And
not very many people can just be like, oh, well,
you know, not a big deal. And for somebody like
in alpha male like Putin to have that happen to him, well,
you know, he read those cards, he saw it. And
of course he also had this where the the left
is talking about how, oh Donald Trump and Putin were

(47:10):
mad at each other at the end of it. It
was a horrible thing. And this is such an embarrassment
for everything that went down. It wasn't because there was
some leaked video where Donald Trump and Putin essentially said
goodbye to each other. And you know, Donald Trump and
Putin were standing there. They had a translator, which, by
the way, Putin speaks English. I mean he really does.

(47:32):
He speaks English. He understood. He's not great at it.
How old is Putin? He doesn't agree I think Putin
gets a lot of the shot things going on. He's
in his sixties, like late sixties. I think I have
to look that up, but I'm pretty sure he's in
his late sixties. But the video shows that Putin and

(47:55):
Donald Trump sitting there with the translator, and they were
just kind of talking and they were laughing, they were smiling,
paling around, and then Vladimir Putin walked away, Donald Trump
walked away. But you have all these democrats that are
coming out there and talking about how, oh my god,
this was such an embarrassment. Colorado Democrat Jason Crowe was

(48:18):
on CBS's Face the Nation and he said that President
terms Alaskan summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin was a
historic embarrassment for the United States. And when he was
talking with Margaret Brennan, which that one there, that's who,
and I'm going to play you some tape too with
her and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on a second,

(48:39):
but she said, okay, on Ukraine, you know that the
US intelligence assessment is that the battlefield is turning in
Russia's favor, despite the fact that Putin has to rely
on Iran and North Korea to keep his thing going
if neither President Biden nor President Trump were ever willing
to commit troops. Doesn't the security, doesn't the Secretary have

(49:01):
a point that it has been hammered out at the
negotiating table. Representative Crow coming out saying, you know, this
absolutely will end at the negotiating table, like most conflicts will.
But it will happen. But what happened on Friday was
a historic embarrassment for the United States. There's no other

(49:21):
way to put it right. You listen to what Marco
Rubio and the President have said. They keep on saying
they're dictating time, they're making it a priority, They're focusing
their attention on it. In any negotiation where they're trying
to end an armed conflict, there's nothing more important than
understanding what motivates your adversary and what is making Vladimir

(49:43):
Putin tick in this instance, Vladimir Putin does not care
about the amount of time that we negotiate, we're allowed
allocating to this, doesn't care about the B two bomber flyover,
does not care about a lineup of F twenty two
fighters rolled out. He doesn't care about any of that,
which is completely wrong. Because, like I said, that is

(50:04):
reducing him from his alpha male's role to a beta
male role. And they did it on the world stage.
The entire world saw this congressman. So yes, Vladimir Putin
cares very much so about that and how he looked
up against Donald Trump. But then again the left, they

(50:27):
simply don't get it. And uh, Margaret Brennan CBS. If
you guys want to do something to like actually get
some ratings, here's an idea. Get rid of her. But
she had a Secretary of State, Mark Rubian, and this
is the exchange that they had.

Speaker 9 (50:44):
Cans that President Zelensky is going to be bullied into
signing something away. That's why you have these European leaders
coming as back up tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (50:53):
Can you That's that's not true, But that's not why
why that's not true. They're not coming here tomorrow to
keep Zelensky from being bullied.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
They're not. They're coming here tomorrow.

Speaker 9 (51:05):
The television cameras where President Zelenski.

Speaker 7 (51:08):
You know how many meetings you?

Speaker 9 (51:09):
Oh, no, I know, And I was just up one
with Vladimir Putin where red carpet rules.

Speaker 7 (51:16):
We've had more meetings we've had We've had We've had
one meeting with Putin and like a dozen meetings with Zelensky.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
So, but that's not true.

Speaker 7 (51:23):
They're not coming here tomorrow to keep Zelensky from being bullied.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
They're coming here.

Speaker 7 (51:26):
Tomorrow because we've been working with the Europeans.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
We talked to them last week.

Speaker 7 (51:29):
There were meetings in the UK over the follow the
previous weekend, and they said.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
As early as Thursday.

Speaker 7 (51:37):
But you said that they're coming here tomorrow to keep
Zelensky for being bullied. They're not coming here tomorrow. This
is such a stupid media narrative that they're coming here
tomorrow because the Trump is going to bully Zelensky into
a bad deal. We've been working with these people for weeks,
for weeks on this stuff. They're coming here tomorrow because
they chose to come here tomorrow. We invited them to come.
We invited them to come, The President invited them to come.

Speaker 9 (51:58):
But the President old those European leaders last week that
he wanted to ceasefire. The President went on television said
he would walk out of the meeting if Vladimir Putin
didn't agree with on he said there would be severe
consequences if he didn't agree to one. He said he'd
walk out in two minutes. He spent three hours talking
to Vladimir Putin, then he did not get one.

Speaker 7 (52:16):
So there's because obviously some things happened during that meeting. Well,
because obviously things look our goal here is not to
stage some production for the world to say, oh, how
dramatic he walked out. Our goal here is to have
a peace agreement to end this war. Okay, And obviously
we felt and I agreed, that there was enough progress,
not a lot of progress, but enough progress made in
those talks to allow us to move to the next phase.

(52:38):
If not, we wouldn't be having Zelensky flying all the
way over here. We wouldn't be having all the Europeans
coming all the way over here. Now understand, and take
with a grain of salt. I'm not saying we're on
the verge of a peace deal, but I am saying
that we saw movement, enough movement to justify a follow
up meeting with Zelinsky and the Europeans, enough movement for
us to dedicate even more time to this.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
You talk about the sanctions.

Speaker 7 (52:57):
Look, at the end of the day, if peace is
not going to be possible here, and this is just
going to continue on as a war. People will continue
to die by the thousands. The president has that option
to then come in and impose new sanctions. But if
he did this now, the moment the president puts those
additional sanctions, that's the end of the talks. You've basically
locked in at least another year to year and a
half of war.

Speaker 4 (53:17):
And Margaret Brennan, she just doesn't get it. She hands
down has got to be ranking right up there is
some of the top dumbest people on TV. And I
don't know why CBS continues here. You want to talk
about somebody who's got Trump to arrangement syndrome. She's got
it bad. And she's got THHS as well, the Trump

(53:39):
hatred syndrome. That's a new syndrome. By the way, I
am coining that phrase, So if you hear it anywhere else,
you heard it first here. But it's just it's so
sad to watch the media where they're trying their best
to just kind of slam on Donald Trump in any way,
and they have no idea how to negotiate peace. By
the way, Margaret Brennan, her husband, what is a marine?

(54:00):
I think he's a marine and now like just some
loll of him. He's like high level up there. You
would think that maybe she would look at him and say, hey,
let me ask you a question. Since you're a military guy.
I got this segment that are doing with the Secretary
of State, and we're going to talk about the negotiations.
What are some of your thoughts on this? And it

(54:22):
does make me wonder too sometimes, like if her husband
at times, like on a Sunday, while he's sitting there
drinking his coffee watching the WiFi on TV, if he
doesn't look at it sometimes and go, oh, dear God,
what the hell did I marry? I mean, what did I?
I wonder if I can pack a rucksack and get
out of here before she gets home. She's just so

(54:43):
dranged over Donald Trump. It's ridiculous. So I gotta talk
about this. This makes me kind of giggle a little bit.
And of course I know that they left her probably
gonna be upset with it. But the story that's coming
out of California, it's coming out of a California jail
where people have now decided they were going to shower
an alleged car thief in California jail with donations. Now

(55:06):
you may think to yourself, going, wait a second, what
what's going on there? This must be a leftist thing.
Not really. Here's the story. Donors in the bag Bakersfield,
California area have kind of they decided to open their
pockets for a good cause, and to be honest with you,
I'm willing to do it myself. Here's what it happened.

(55:30):
There was a horrific child abuse case that had also
been highly publicized, and what it basically had happened is
the step mother who hit this child, by the way,
ended up dying due to all of the abuse that
was happening, and the step mother, along with the father,

(55:53):
they were both charged with torturing and killing their eight
year old stepdaughter. And owners in Bakersfield, where the details
of the horrific child case had been very highly publicized.
Max down the inmates account, you know where they have
their little commissary account where they can get the little
money and so they get their little things. Her name

(56:15):
is Anita Doran and she's at the Kern County Jail,
and the story is that she had pummeled a twenty
seven year old stepmother. And I don't not even gonna
do the stepmother's name because it's not worth it. She
doesn't need any recognition. Back on August eighth, and Doran
had done a local news interview with one of the

(56:38):
TV stations that had basically triggered the beat down, which
resulted in the trip to the hospital for the stepmother
before she returned to jail, and Doran had said that
some of the girls had not seen her taking it
too serious the whole killing of the step daughter. She
had come back from court and she was laughing and

(56:58):
giggling and stuff, and they were just like, why is
what's so funny? And Darn continued saying that when you're
faced with someone that's gross and has no remorse, you
kind of don't want to deal with it because you
don't want to take it to where you want to
take it to. And I definitely will do it again. Basically,

(57:20):
what had gone down is that this woman who she
was in jail for car theft, got mad at the
fact that the stepmother who had killed her stepdaughter, eight
year old stepdaughter tortured and killed it that she was
coming back from court and just giggling, not taking it serious,
having no remorse whatsoever. And this is The reason for

(57:42):
why I say this all the time that when you
have people that are resulting in a child abuse case
or sexual child abuse case or whatever it might be, rape,
put them in general population. And the reason for putting
them a general population is because that's where justice comes about.
Justice does not come about when you put somebody in

(58:02):
jail and you protect them and make sure that they're
safe and make sure that things are good. No, when
you put them in general population and the prisoner population
sees how this person has no remorse, how this person
doesn't think that it was a bad thing that they tormented,

(58:22):
tortured and killed an eight year old girl. Justice gets
delivered when they get the snots beat out of them,
when it is a constant thing where now this woman
is now going to live in fear for her life
while she is in jail, because you never know at
this point who's going to be the next one that's

(58:43):
going to beat her down, or if it'll be the
same woman that'll beat her down, or if it gets
a little bit worse. And I know it kind of
sounds like a hardest thing to say on a Monday,
but you know what, this is what people who abuse
children deserve. This is exactactly what they deserve. And that's
why I say they should always be put into general

(59:03):
population and not into some sort of solitary confinement, because
they're not gonna think about what they did. I mean,
if you're that sick and twisted, you're not gonna think,
oh my god, that was really bad at what I did. Now,
you deserve justice to be delivered, and if it's in
the case of a beatdown, so be it. So props
to everybody there in the California area for filling up

(59:24):
her little account at the jail to make sure that
she's well taken care of. We just got to find
out apparently it maxed it out too, so like it
got to a point where you couldn't donate any more
money to the thing. I almost want to do it
as well, and anybody else who wants to get involved
in doing that stuff, because I'm sorry, I have absolutely

(59:46):
no feelings for you whatsoever that are positive. If you're
gonna be somebody that's gonna hurt a child, and if
you're gonna hurt a child, you're gonna go to jail,
and you're you're at the very least not gonna be remorseful,
regretting what you did. You know, because who knows what
the circumstances are. You know, maybe you maybe the child

(01:00:06):
was getting in the way of your relationship, or you know,
you just whatever it was that you're thinking that it
is the reason for why you get to beat the
child down. Whatever. But if you don't get to a
point where you think, to yourself, man, it was it
was not worth taking the child's life, pull an epstein
on her noose and all you know what. No, No,

(01:00:28):
that's too quick and easy. That's way too quick and easy.
I'm sorry. People who sexually abuse children do not deserve
the quick drop and a stop. They don't. That is
too quick and easy. I'm sorry. If you're gonna be
somebody who's going to abuse a child, I mean, sexually
abuse a child's bad, But abuse and torture a child

(01:00:51):
and then kill them. No, no, no, no. You deserve
to feel every single impact on your body. You deserve
to live with the pain of your internal organs not
working right for a while because you had such a
beat down. You deserve to have the inability to eat

(01:01:12):
solid food for months because of the beat down. I'm sorry.
I don't care what anybody wants to say. I have
absolutely no fs to give about people who abuse children,
and I support this type of stuff one thousand percent.
And you know what, if it happened here having somewhere else,

(01:01:34):
I will donate a little bit of money to that
person's account so that they can live a nice, comfortable
life while they're in jail. I don't care. Just the
whole idea of abusing children and taking out your frustrations
for whatever they may be or your sick, twisted, demented ways.
You deserve it. You deserve every hit, you deserve, every torture,

(01:01:57):
you deserve every night of worrying about going to sleep
as to whether or not you're gonna be woken up
in the middle of the night with a beatdown. You
deserve to be worried about whether or not when you
go into the line for food, but whether or not
you're gonna be beaten up, if you're gonna be stabbed,
or whatever it might. You deserve that hell and torturous
life for the rest of your life. Absolutely deserve it. Sorry,

(01:02:21):
I don't care, I really don't care. That's what you're
gonna do to children, That's what you deserve. So props
to that particular woman for delivering the beatown absolutely properly.
I might even send her a letter congratulator and thank
her for doing that, because that's the type of stuff
that needs to happen when it's down. And I know
that right now there's probably some law enforcement people going, oh, Brian,

(01:02:42):
please just don't say that. But seriously, some of the comments,
you guys, I love it. Anyhow, over the weekend, something
else that went down. Sorry, I gotta get back to politics.
I had to share that story. It was on the
top of my there and I just had I had
to get that one out just because again, prop to

(01:03:05):
that person. But more things in California. It's so sad
that there's so many stories to talk about in California,
California and Oakland. The Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee is now
saying that President Donald Trump's attempting to dismantle our democracy
with his federal takeover of Washington, DC. And she said,
let me just tell you that this president is fear mongering.

(01:03:27):
He wants to militarize our cities, to occupy them outside
federal force, and that is a very dangerous. This is
part of his effort to dismantle our democracy with regard
to Oakland. You know, we have our strategy, strategy also
similar to Mayor Scott's on focused deterrence. Our crime rates
going down. You know what, your crime rate may be

(01:03:49):
going down. But here's the thing, and we've talked about
this many times. A lot of the quote unquote crime
rate that is going down is simply because crime rates
are not being reported properly. That is why you see
crime rates going down. I was watching a video over
the weekend of a roving person who I've been following

(01:04:10):
him for a little while. He's been doing a lot
of videos in Washington, DC, and he was unseen at
a video at an incident that he videoed where the
law enforcement, the federal law enforcement that was in there,
had come in and they arrested somebody that was dealing drugs.
Criminal dealing drugs, trying to sell them to the homeless

(01:04:31):
and everything. And after the whole situation was done and
the police got the person, threw him in the car,
and off they went, the person looked around and saw
a bunch of homeless people and he walked up to
the homeless people and he started to talk to them,
and he asked them, are you afraid of what's going
on in the city right now with Donald Trump's federal takeover,

(01:04:54):
and they said no, they're not. Every one of the
homeless people said no, they're not. And then they talked
about the fact that you know, hey, look what just
happened right here in front of us, was the federal
law enforcement coming in and taking these drug dealers. What
are some of your thoughts on that? Every single one
of the homeless people that they interviewed said the same thing.

(01:05:15):
You have to get the crime out of here. The
crime has got to go. You can't have it here,
and it's going to make our city safer. Then asked
the question, hey, well, you're homeless, and Donald Trump has said, hey,
we need to get the homeless out of here. You know,
is your what is your thoughts on that? And the
homeless came back again and said, we have been treated
with nothing, with nothing more than respect. Every law enforcement

(01:05:37):
person that has come up to us has been respectful
towards us. And and yes, Donald Trump wants to get
the city cleaned up, wants to clean up the crime,
and we support that. And if Donald Trump can help
me get back onto my feet and get me out
of this homeless thing. I support that. So isn't that
something that the very people that the liberal, the white

(01:06:01):
whiney liberal leftist comes out and says, oh my god,
Donald Trump is destroying their lives. They're they're they're they're
ruining them. They're the ones coming out and saying, no,
this is good. This is good that Donald Trump has federalized.
This is good that Donald Trump is getting rid of
the criminals and the drug dealers and all this other stuff.
And this is good that he wants to help us.

(01:06:21):
Even the homeless. The homeless know that Donald Trump simply
wants to help them. So if somebody who doesn't have
the TV and the radio and the cell phone with
the Internet and everything, if they're able to say, yes,
I understand what it is that Donald Trump is doing
and I accepted. Then the white whiny liberal who has

(01:06:42):
access to all of this stuff that is out there
making up these things. But you should really feel embarrassed
and ashamed of yourself. You really should. But what Donald
Trump is doing in DC is working, and people in
DC are accepting it. We gotta take back, all right,

(01:07:12):
Welcome back to the show, Happy Monday. Thanks for waking
up with us coming up later on on the show.
Founder of wikin dot com, one of the the the
social media sites ACT, one of the few social media sites.
And when I say few, I mean there's really only
laying wonder or h that truly gives you that freedom
without all that censorship. We're gonna talk with him coming up,

(01:07:32):
because censorship is coming back again and now there's a
big class action lawsuit about a lot of the censorship.
We're gonna chat with him about that, plus his new
struggles he's having sus struggles with the with the facebooks
and again Facebook with all their censorship. It's just it's ridiculous.
We'll talk about he's kind of climbing out of that,

(01:07:53):
but it still shouldn't happen to begin with. And I
don't know why these people just continually go down this
road of censorship, because it's stupid and they just gotta stop.
So we're gonna talk with jac coming up later on
on the show. In the meantime, New York Times they're
a little confused. They're a little slightly confused. There's some
conflicts that are going on within the New York Times.

(01:08:14):
On Friday, during his weekly appearance on PBS's News Hour,
which you know that's gonna be going away soon because
PBS as well going away soon too. The New York
Times columnist David Brooks, who is another one of those
Donald Trump hating people. It's talking about how Donald Trump
is using mustard gas on our democracy. Yeah, you know,
we gotta, we gotta keep hitting up with the you know,

(01:08:37):
the Hitler references and all the dictator references because he's
now using mustard gas on our democracy. Because everything else
that you've been saying about Donald Trump with attacking our
democracy hasn't been scary enough yet. So we got to
ratchet it up a little bit. But David Brooks said,
let's do a little ethical experiment here. You're in World
War One. The Germans used mustard gas and civilians and

(01:09:01):
it helps them. Do you then decide, Okay, we're gonna
use mustard gas on civilians. What Trump ordered Abbott to
do in Texas is mustard gas on our democracy. Some
people would feel, Okay, that was terrible. We have to
fight back. It's horrible, but we're going to fight back
because that's war. Gavin Newsom is leaping into this with

(01:09:24):
both legs and to me, there's a moral stain that
will accompany anybody who does this, because basically they are
destroying our democracy. You don't let politicians pick voters. You
let voters pick politicians, and the people who oppose gerrymandering
the ones that are defining our democracy. And then he

(01:09:46):
goes on to ad that what's going on, what's going
to happen here, is that we're going to have to
race to the bottom where we're in the middle of it.
And I fully grant you that Trump started it, so
I'm not saying it's totally morally equivalent, but there's a
moral stain, and what's going to happen is people are
going to say it's those politicians and those loss of

(01:10:08):
faith in the system, loss of faith in democracy, and
literally less democracy, because if you are a Texas voter
or a California voter, if New York does it, or
Missouri does it, all these states that are going to
do with this, you're literally disenfranchising people because you can
pick the district so carefully that the voters don't matter

(01:10:29):
so much. This, by the way, is a journalist. Okay,
hang on a second, we're gonna do some journal in here.
Are you ready, Let's pull up the googles. Let's just
do a very definition of jerry mandering. I mean, this

(01:10:51):
is where we should start, right when we're gonna do
some journalism, start off with that. What is the definition
of jerry mandering manipulate the borders of an electoral constituency
so as to party to one favor or class. Okay,
all right, we got that. Now, let's let's do this.

(01:11:11):
Let's go history of jerry mandering, just to see if
the interwebs has anything to do that. And when we're
gonna not in specific on states, we're just gonna We're
just gonna kind of hit a little thing. Let's see.
So where should we start. Library of Congress. That sounds
like a good one. Let's let's go with the Library

(01:11:32):
of Congress's article that they have here on the history
of jerry mandering. Let's see jerrymandering the original story. The
term of the political tactic derives the name of a
prominent nineteenth century political figure and from a mythological salamander. Okay,

(01:11:53):
so the term, originally written as jerry mander, was first
use in March twenty six of eighteen twelve in the
Boston Gazette a reaction to the redrawing of Massachusetts State
Senate election districts under then Governor Elbridge Jerry. Though the
redistricting was done on the behest of his Democrat Republican party,

(01:12:20):
it was that it was Jerry who signed the bill
in eighteen twelve. As a result, he received his dubrious
honor of getting basically the name. Jerry in fact found
the proposal highly disagreeable. He lost the next election, but
the redistricting was the success. His party retained control of

(01:12:43):
the legislator and out of the remapped constorted districts in
Boston area was said to resemble the shape of a
mythological salamander, and the newly drawn state Senate districts in
the Essex County, which is Boston, was lampooned in the
cartoons as a strange winged dragon clutching the region. Jerry

(01:13:09):
was the signer of the Declaration of Independence and a
two term member of the House of Representatives, governor of Massachusetts,
and vice president under James Madison. His name, however, was
was forever negatively linked to the form of political power
broking by the cartoon huh so, what you're saying here

(01:13:34):
is that this started in eighteen twelve, eighteen twelve, and
Donald Trump is the big evil one for wanting to
do some redistricting. Is is that what we're getting here? Sorry?

(01:13:59):
So yeah, that is that is essentially the deal behind
the jerry mandering and where it came from. It is
not a Donald Trump thing. It's not a new thing.
It's been going on for a very very long time.
And again, he was part of the and I never
heard of this part of the Democrat Republican party. Say

(01:14:22):
he was a Republican or was he as a Democrat?
I don't because a Democrat Republican? So which was he?
He was a he is a Republican. It was a
Republican bad okay, whatever. But we keep hearing this from
all these people about how is Donald Trump? Who's done it?
Donald Trump is the worst in the world. And we

(01:14:43):
just did this live on the show. That wasn't even planned.
I didn't I didn't predo that. It didn't print it
out prevo. I googled it as we're sitting here talking.
And you mean to tell me that there's reporters can't
do the same thing to figure out and by the way,
do the the Democrats not think that we the people
can also do the same thing, that we also can

(01:15:07):
go what the hell is jerry mandering? I wonder if
there's anything on the internet about it, and sure enough,
there is something on the internet about it. And it
came from eighteen twelve, so it's nothing new. It has
been going on since eighteen twelve, two hundred years. We

(01:15:28):
have been jerry mandering the districts in our country. It's
not just one party, it's both parties that do it.
And now here comes another shocker when it comes to
the New York Times and how things are just New
York Times colonists and somebody who definitely has some TDS,
and that is Maureen Doubt. She's somebody who has slammed

(01:15:51):
on Donald Trump for a very long time, not a
big fan of Donald Trump's at all. Over the weekend,
she implied that Donald Trump is actually right on the
politics and policy when it comes to the crime in
the nation's capital. See, this is this is your sign.
This is your sign that when you have somebody who
is it was it was it was clearly an anti Trumper,

(01:16:15):
does not like Trumper whatsoever. And she comes out and
she's like, well, you know, he was actually kind of right.
I don't know if anybody else, anybody's else. Jesus, we're
good with the English today, aren't we. I don't know
if anybody else has seen any other videos of people
in Washington, d C. But I've been seeing them over

(01:16:37):
and over and over again. And remember, when it comes
to my algorithm on social media, it is a it's
a hot mess because I view so many things. There's
so many things that I like to view that I
get thrown everything. So I don't get stuck in the
Republican or Democrat or liberal or conservative, you know, realm
of social media. It all gets thrown at me. So

(01:16:59):
I got it all coming at me. And what I've
been seeing over and over and over again with people
doing videos out of Washington, DC is look at how
great it is.

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
I am.

Speaker 4 (01:17:11):
I'm out at night in downtown Washington, D C. And
I'm not afraid. Look at how peaceful it is. Listen
to how listen how quiet it is. You don't hear
the sirens everywhere. It's like as if crime is starting

(01:17:32):
to go away and things are getting what's that word again, safer?
Over and over again, you keep seeing these things, and
now you have New York Times more redoubt again, who
is somebody who is anti Donald Trump coming out and
saying that, yeah, well, it seems like the policies worked.

(01:17:52):
You have the homeless that are being interviewed by man
on the street interviews and they're saying, yeah, things are good.
By the way, we're also being treated with respect. Kind
of a backfire in the narrative. And yet you have
the media and you have the left, and the propaganda's

(01:18:16):
coming out continually just smashing on Donald Trump. And one
of the things they've got to realize is that as
much as you sit here in you bash, as much
as you sit here and lie, the truth comes out.
And how many times has Donald Trump been oh, what's
that word again? Correct? Donald Trump's not perfect, donald Trump's

(01:18:37):
making mistakes. Donald Trump has made mistakes. Donald Trump will
make mistakes. Donald Trump will be and has been wrong
about things. But let's think about all of the things
that Donald Trump has actually been right about. And yet
the left continued to push this narrative that he's a disaster,
that this whole Washington DC thing, it's a takeover for

(01:18:57):
the rest of the cities. And Donald Trump has said it.
You know, yeah, this is a blueprint. This is a
blueprint for some of the things that can be done
with other cities. Donald Trump didn't say we're gonna go
next to New York and take it over with the military.
They're talking about law enforcement. They're talking about enforcing the laws,

(01:19:20):
going out there and protecting the people from those that
are doing things bad. And how you can clean up
a city in a relatively short period of time. And
look at how long it's taken them for DC. I mean,
first off, within the first twenty four hours of Donald
Trump saying all right, we're gonna take over this stuff,
and the left losing their mind. There's no crime. Oh

(01:19:40):
wait a second, well there was that murder that just happened.
Oh wait, there's also the shooting that just happened just
less than a mile from the White House. And oh
there was this, and there was that. Donald Trump comes
in with all the Feds and starts cleaning things up,
and things are improving dramatically in this short one week
period of time. Imagine how safe Washington, d C. Will

(01:20:02):
be if they continue to push law enforcement, if they
continue to push and punish those who actually commit law
or commit crimes and how much better DC is gonna be.
But the left doesn't like it because they have to
have fear. And I love it when they also come

(01:20:23):
out and talk about how Donald Trump is fear mongering.
Where is Donald Trump fear mongering? STD savage hatred for
Trump disease. That's another good one.

Speaker 2 (01:20:36):
I like that.

Speaker 4 (01:20:37):
So we now got the TDS, the THHS, and the STD.
We need to come up with a scale of which
one is the worst. The STD might be the worst.
But in addition to all the other stupid, silly stuff
that we saw, we gotta talk about this one because
this is just funny. I'm visualizing this one in my head.
The White House claimed yesterday that the press had misreported

(01:20:59):
a store about officers arresting a man operating his moped
in DC and alleging that he had suspected gang affiliations
and violently resisted arrest. I've seen the video on this.
He didn't violently resist the arrest. I mean, obviously people
aren't going to be like, oh the police, okay, well no,
I mean he was a little kind of but it

(01:21:20):
didn't violently resist the arrest. But initial reports had come
from things like the Washington Post and Political claiming that
the President's cracked down on crime the nation's capital led
to an innocent man being arrested while riding his moped.
Which that's just embarrassing. I mean, it really kind of is.
Yesterday morning, just off of fourteenth Street Northwest, a group
of masked law enforcement officials arrested a moped driver. This

(01:21:43):
sounds so dramatic. Onlookers stood near a coffee shop and
the entrance to a luxury condo building, recording the altercation
on their phones. Washington Post reporter Dan Rosen whig Ziff,
Is that really your last name? Rosen, whig Ziff, whatever
was among them. Shouts from the crowd that the officers,

(01:22:05):
whose vests simply read police identify the agency which they
were affiliated with, was dismissed. According to Politico, one of
the officers, back, I don't have to answer to you,
was his question, to the rhetorical you've got to answer
to somebody yelling at pedestrian. The officer never identified themselves,

(01:22:28):
never provided their badge numbers, never revealed their agency. It added,
They took the moped driver into an unmarked suv and
sprinted off destination unknown. A block away. The weekend brunch
service at Les dem Blamont continued without interruption. Oh my god,
these people are a bunch of drama queens, absolute bunch

(01:22:53):
of drama queens. But Carol Eleve at the White House
Press Secondary claimed that in a post on Acts that
the press did not ask the administration for commic and
adding that the man had allegedly gang affiliations and gave
an officer a concussion upon the arrest as well, and
the political playbook Today was written to fear DC residents
into believing that federal law enforcement randomly arrested an innocent

(01:23:14):
moped driver. If Politico had reached out to the White
House for comment before publishing, we could provide them with
the facts. The moped driver was an illegal alien criminal
from Venezuela with suspected gang affiliation and an active final
order of removal from the country, and upon his arrest,
the illegal alien criminal resisted arrest and the law enforcement

(01:23:36):
officer suffered a concussion as a result. She added, Oh
so yeah, but you know what, that doesn't sound as
good as our story. It doesn't sound as good as
the story of how he was a peaceful Sunday afternoon
and the citizens of Washington, d C. Were peacefully going
upout their day and then all of a sudden, a
vehicle rolls up and masked law enforcement officers storm this

(01:24:00):
moped riding man, and he grabbed the man and threw
him into the car and then dashed off into the distance,
never to be heard from again. This is Trump's America.
See that sounds like a much better story other than
the facts. Oh, he was an illegal alien that was
affiliated with gang members. Oh okay. But meanwhile the brunch

(01:24:24):
continued down the street at the Diplomat. Oh, it was
just it was a shocking scene and all the onlookers,
including the reporters who were filming it on their phones,
were in shock to see once again Donald Trump and
his America as people are being swept up and disappeared
off the streets of DC. Also, Donald Trump can have

(01:24:46):
a clean, crime free city. It's so stupid. I mean,
it's just absolutely so stupid that the left complaining about this.
And again, like I've pointed out, donald Trump is not
doing this for red cities. Donald Trump is not rolling
into a red city or a red state and saying, hey,
we got to clean up some of this crime stuff.

(01:25:06):
We're doing it on our own. It's all of these
blue cities and blue states where Donald Trump is going
in and he's making life better for the citizens. He's
making it safer so that liberals and Democrats can walk
the streets of their cities without the threat of being
raped or robbed or shot or carjacked. And yet they

(01:25:29):
go on about how it's so bad, it's so bad
what Donald Trump is doing.

Speaker 3 (01:25:35):
This is horrible.

Speaker 4 (01:25:36):
I'm able to walk my dog Fluffy now in the
streets without being having my dog ginked and being held
at gunpoint. Donald Jump's the worst thing in the world ever.
It's gotta be a sad, pathetic life, it really does.

This is the Brian Rusk Show.

Speaker 4 (01:26:17):
All right, welcome back to the show. Good morning, and
thanks so much for waking up with us today. Do
appreciate it as always. Want to welcome back to the
show my buddy Jacon Shepherd from wimkin dot com. Brother,
how you do it today?

Speaker 8 (01:26:33):
Doing very well, Brian, Thanks for having me and I
hope you're the same I am.

Speaker 4 (01:26:36):
You know, it's it's pretty good for a Monday. A
lot of great things that are going on today, and
I know that you've You've actually spent a bunch of
time in the chat today which has got a lot
of people excited to see you. So that's that's awesome.

Speaker 8 (01:26:48):
Well, yeah, thank you. I had a little free time
this morning, and obviously it's since your shows on our platform,
I figured I come in there and you know, just
stay good morning.

Speaker 4 (01:26:57):
Yeah. Absolutely, And for those that don't know the the
show is streamed on wimken dot com, which for those
that don't know what wimken dot com is, let's hit
them real quickly with with what that is and how
people can participate in because that's going to kind of
roll into our conversation about what we're talking about today.

Speaker 8 (01:27:16):
Yes, wim Can has a free speech platform, think more
designed like Facebook. You know, in the live chat on
the app, you can have you know, scrolling cat, but
you're uh, Look, if you were speaking about us just
a second ago, you know, voice and video calling groups,
Marketplace pretty much truly a free speech version of Facebook

(01:27:36):
in terms of design, way different than through Social, way
different than x with probably more features than both of
them combined. And we thought the House Select Committee, we
fought the usd OJ, we thought legacy Media, we fought
big tech and the app stores. Pretty much everyone you
can think of that wanted to take us down. We
fought in won and never one time provided data to

(01:27:59):
the government, which if anybody wants to read the demands
that the government did actually demand from us for ours,
you can go to Jcshepherd dot com and go to
Jason's Fight and there's two demand letters from good old
Benny Thompson himself, good old Benny.

Speaker 4 (01:28:16):
And by the way, if you need that link, the
Brian russshow dot com has got it. Just click on
the guest link and and look for for Jason Shepherd
on there for that link. And if there's anybody, by
the way that knows the the the censorship fight, and
and what's funny too, is that you just listened it
off all of these things that you have fought, and
these are all the same things that that platforms like

(01:28:36):
Facebook has just powered to, which is which is kind
of wild. And you just went through yet another round
of of battles of Facebook. Just the other day. I
saw your post about that.

Speaker 7 (01:28:49):
What what was?

Speaker 4 (01:28:49):
What did you say? What did you do?

Speaker 1 (01:28:52):
So?

Speaker 8 (01:28:52):
I didn't do anything. It's just it's I mean, obviously,
and we've had we've we've had to send them for letters.
Our corporate council is actually quite close to them, and
basically he just hand delivers a letter if they shut
our page down. It's what happened in the past. No warning.
You just completely disappeared from the platform, kinda apparently like

(01:29:16):
the ice is doing right now. Just kidding, of course
that was sarcasting, but you know, it's the whole. It's
the thing, no warning, know anything, your page is gone.
But this time it's I tried to not log in
because generally it stays logged in, but it clicked on
my app and it said your sessions has expired, and
I could do nothing to get back in in any way,
shape or form. And I couldn't get in for two days.

(01:29:38):
And that's because we you know, Honestly, we've been talking
about the class action lawsuit and the Digital Free Speech
Reparations Act of twenty twenty five, which I authored, and
as soon as I put it on their platform, guess
what happened, immediately locked out.

Speaker 4 (01:29:51):
Yeah, imagine that. And I want to I want to
talk about that that Reparations Act that you just mentioned.
What is that? What's going on with this?

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
Well, so.

Speaker 8 (01:30:03):
You know, we have the left calling and getting reparations
for slavery from the eighteen fifties when none of us
was alive, none of us committed such, and people you
know aren't feeling the effects of this. However, you know,
I kind of want to recall this as well, the
Fake News Reparations Act as well, because this all comes back.

(01:30:24):
It starts earlier than twenty nineteen. But I figured we'd
go back six years on statute limitations on this because
that's when everything really started to be provable, where you know,
big tech was sort of the censor people for their opinions,
for you know, being negative against government so to speak.
You know, of course, right after this, this is when

(01:30:46):
you had COVID nineteenth, which you couldn't even talk about,
You couldn't talk about the fact that death reportings were
completely wrong. You could, in fact talk about the five
governors that were killing you know, people in nurse homes,
putting making them put them in there. Certainly couldn't talk
about the vaccination. I mean, that's that was just it,
you know, and specifically, you know, House Select Committee. If

(01:31:11):
you recall, one of the reasons, you know, when King
got designed and born was when they shut down Saved
the Children on hashtag on Facebook, calling it legitimately domestic terrorism.
So you know, these are the things we're talking about.
At that point in time, you were having doctors with
thousands upon thousands of subscribers on YouTube getting you know,

(01:31:36):
canceled for giving their actual licensed, boards certified medical opinion.
But she had that nineteen year old YouTube kid in
the back that was told, hey, you know, this is
a narrative. You can't have that on there. So apparently
these nineteen year old kids were you know, smarter and
more qualified to give a medical opinion. You know, we
had conservatives lose get debanked obviously, thank Mike Lindell for one,

(01:31:58):
Thank us for one. The banked, you know, a credit
card process are shut down. Marketing companies shut you down
your you know, email marketing providers shut you down. I mean,
this goes on and on and on more than anyone
can possibly think. And you know, let's let's talk about
Facebook setting down a page that was paying you X
amount of dollars a month. Let's talk about YouTube doing

(01:32:21):
that that was you know, paying you X amount dollars
a month. Let's talk about the fact that, you know,
companies that were selling patriotic year even just so much
as an American flag, which is now I guess that
terror is their hate symbol to the left. But you know,
these things, these companies lost everything, They lost their reputation,
they lost absolutely everything, you know, when the legacy media
did hit pieces on them. So what the Digital Free

(01:32:44):
Speech Reparations Act is asking for as a appropriations from
big tech of just the starting point of five hundred
billion dollars. Now, I know that sounds like a lots
of people, but it really is. We've had we've had
fifteen thousand already sign up for our class action lawsuit,
and we're over seven million dollars a month in terms
of what people lost. And that's going back six years.

(01:33:06):
So that's just right now, you know, we're talking about
you know, you're doing eighty five let's we say eighty
five million a year times six, you're already you know,
well over five hundred million there. And that's only with
fifteen thousand people. We're still missing probably a million that
have got censored, that have got shut down, that have

(01:33:26):
you know, completely been demonetized, canceled everything to where you know,
these these numbers are going to be so vast and
I think it could go into the trillions, and I
think big tech should pay it, and I think that's
how we really hold them accountable.

Speaker 4 (01:33:37):
Yeah, you're right, I mean, and people don't realize I
think sometimes because we kind of make fun of in
jokes sometimes of some of the influencers alone. I mean,
let alone, you know, the the big industries, the doctors
that have been done, the influencers alone, you know, because
this has become a new industry slash career where a

(01:33:57):
lot of people make a lot of money by being
online influencers and it doesn't matter the platform that they're on,
you know, like TikTok had been a big one too
when it came to you know, demonetizing people and and
and and blocking them and other things where you just
simply come out there and you give your thoughts and
your opinions about something, you report something about it, and
if you go against the narrative, then you get canceled.

(01:34:20):
And these are people who are banking their careers on it.
I don't know if you've ever seen this guy. He's
he's actually Australian and he does the big daddy news
fantastic page that he does, and he's gone through this
fight over and over again, and he's he's very non
biased as as to what it is. He just reports
kind of the facts about things, and they attacked him

(01:34:41):
for it because he said some things that they didn't like.
So you think about all of just the influencers alone,
let alone the companies, the small businesses and all these
other things that have been hurt by this censorship. So
this is something that could could definitely get some backing
from I think a lot of the people in the
country without a doubt.

Speaker 8 (01:35:01):
Yeah, and you made a really great, uh you know,
indication there that this could go completely worldwide. You know
if if we jump on it. And obviously there's going
to be so many people in Congress that are going
to say, oh, yes, this is what we need to do.
I mean, we're in the we're in the administration where
Trump would pick this up and say this is a
fake news bill. I mean, legitimately, this is something that
he would definitely want to be a part of as well.

(01:35:22):
But you know, you brought off Australia. Australia. If you
recall when that pastor was dabbed and it was live,
I guess it was live fonder it was recorded. Australia
threatened Elon Musk if he didn't take that down off
of X and the pastor even came out and said,
I want this. I want people to see what people
are doing in the world. I want them to see this.

Speaker 9 (01:35:41):
And you know, it's it's.

Speaker 8 (01:35:43):
Unbelievable what Australia thinks they can do. They might be
a had bit worse than America was, but it really
if somehow Biden won again or Kamala Harris had won,
we would be literally like China in terms of being
locked down on our media. I mean, I would even
go to the point maybe within the tail end of
their administration, we would be state run media at that

(01:36:05):
point in time.

Speaker 4 (01:36:05):
Oh yeah, without a doubt. And you know it's sad
because we have. We have people that watched this show
on wimken dot com, uh, specifically from around the world
and obviously around the country too. And and I even
saw a comment from somebody in the UK who said
wimken is the only platform I feel safe on. Thank
you so much to you for creating that platform. And

(01:36:27):
the UK has been another area where you know, at
this point, if you say something that is not approved
and appropriate based upon what the government things, they are
literally arresting people in the UK for statements that you're
making on social media. So this is this entire thing
on the censorship. I mean, we think we got it
bad here when they they block us or whatever, but

(01:36:50):
when you're seeing things like in the UK where they
are arresting you because of your opinion, you know that's dangerous.
And I think you're right that if if Kamala and
Biden and the Democrats as a whole continued to have
power and control, that that is exactly the same road
that we would end up going down. Is that when
you do say something that goes against the narrative, you're

(01:37:10):
going to get a knock on the door. I mean, hell,
at this point, we saw under the Biden administration. If
you simply went out in front of an abortion clinic
and said, hey, you know, save the children, you get
a five thirty am knock on the door with a
whole bunch of armed men with long guns, arresting you
in front of your neighborhood and parading you down the
street to the cars. So I mean, if they're doing that,

(01:37:33):
imagine what they would have been doing if we were,
you know, criticizing the administration.

Speaker 8 (01:37:40):
Yeah, I mean the first and foremost, you know, we
have seen in the Biden administration people get you know,
questioned at their front door about their social media posts.
Nothing that's ever crossed the line to criminality in any way,
shape orformed, because you know, to be honest with you,
we're experts at that. When Ken is an expert of punning,
you know what crosses the criminality line if it's not.

(01:38:00):
But you know, we saw plenty of that in the
last four years under Biden, of course, And you know,
let's be honest, I think that it would have been
if if we had Hillary wind in twenty sixteen and
then what happened in twenty twenty, we would be a
whole completely different country. And I don't honest say, you know,
we would exist at this point, but yeah, you're one

(01:38:22):
hundred percent right. What's happening over in the UK is
just absolutely unbelievable. And they're falling under the Digital Services Act,
which is something herey Britain, somebody in the French government
has coined and they got behind and it's just ridiculous.
I mean, those people send us letters all the time
saying we're going to find you up to ten times

(01:38:44):
more than your you know, gross global revenue, and I'm
like you, people have no idea. Who's going to be
the one that determines what misinformation is and what disinformation is?
How do you know it's true and how do you
know it is? And people have their own opinions. So
this is where we got to in the world. And
I can definitely see this. I mean, I truly want
to hold big tech accountable. I mean one hundred percent.

(01:39:05):
I want to hold them accountable. And I want to
hold the people and that Biden administration accountable, especially the
ones that were, you know, paying a million dollars a
month to have access to Twitter and having offices in Twitter,
such as the FBI. I want to pay I want,
you know, big Tech to bring all of the accounts
back that Jack Dorsey took off of Twitter, that Mark
Zuckerberg took down off of Facebook. I mean, this is

(01:39:28):
how you do it. You hit them where it absolutely hurts.
And you know, we're talking about companies that have multiple
billions of dollars. I mean, I don't know how much
Facebook makes a day, but it's it's probably close to that.
And you know, obviously Twitter's a whole different story right
now with Muscon in it. But you can still go
back from Jack Dorcy. That's the one thing about these

(01:39:49):
stats of limitations. The way that I wrote this is
you're still feeling this loss. You're still literally not making
what you were making. So this stature limitation tolls. It's
under equitable tolling because because you know, if you're not
making that two thousand dollars a month, if you're not
making that fifty dollars a month that you were making
from that page, that they shut you down, or you
couldn't sell your products anymore on TikTok, or you know,

(01:40:10):
get the sponsors that you had in your shows. That's huge,
and this is going to bring this to the forefront
and it's legitimate, true things that happened to people, not
one hundred and fifty years ago.

Speaker 4 (01:40:22):
Yeah. Yeah, it is bad. And you know, you look
at some of the big people who have been demonetized,
people like Allowed with Crowd or even Crowder. You know,
he got demonetized, Dan Bongino, he got demonetized because of
things with you know what he was saying on the show,
and they didn't agree with it. And while that was

(01:40:44):
huge numbers for them, I mean, you're talking hundreds of
thousands of dollars for them. You're right, though, when it
comes to somebody who's a smaller person, who you know,
they may only get fifty bucks a month or a
hundred bucks a month or something, and some people are
literally able to make thousands of dollars a month through
their social media stuff and for them to be shut
down like that, that hurts a lot of people. And

(01:41:05):
this is definitely something that needs to be corrected and stopped.
And you're the one who wrote the bill, and we
were talking a little bit about how you're getting a
little bit of support from some congressional people, but we
definitely need to get more congressional people to be on
board with this and Obviously right now, we got about
another week two weeks before Congress gets back. They're gonna
have a lot that they've got on the table. But

(01:41:26):
this is definitely something I think we need to get
out to Congress and start reaching out to our representatives
and say, hey, this might be something you want to
get behind. And I know, this show alone we cover
I think there's about five congressional districts that this show
now covers here in the state of Florida, So that's
at least five congress people that I know that this
audience can be reaching out to and saying, hey, we

(01:41:49):
need to look into this this act and help protect
us and hold these people accountable.

Speaker 8 (01:41:57):
Yeah, that's the number one thing people can do. I mean,
if anyone's ever experience any type of censorship, certainly that
they got demonetized or it's hurt them, you know, it's
something that needs to be brought to their attention. I mean,
this is why we elect them, and this is something
that there's my goodness, every single person that's been on
our side of the equation is definitely you know, at

(01:42:17):
the very least, you know, it had a shadow band
happen to them, and you know, This is stuff that
even shadow bands alone, if your content's not reaching people,
you know, if you're selling products, if you have sponsors.
That this is really where it all comes down to.
And you know, what's just case in point here. When
we can had fifty thousand users, okay, fifty thousand, we

(01:42:40):
were making three thousand dollars a day just for one
banner ad on our site and now our app this
is that was through Google ad Mob three thousand a
day and we have been banned from advertising since January
of twenty twenty one with them. So we're going on
five years now. So you're going on five years of
proven losses the day because we got paid one time

(01:43:02):
for that and then as we were banned from the
app stores, we lost that and instead of getting that
back and we beat the app stores and you know,
got our asspec on the both app stores, but we
did not they would not read state that. But now
that we have nine million people, I mean it's probably
closer to fifty thousand dollars a day that we're losing.
So Wimkin's, you know, I as they made our loss

(01:43:23):
more north of fifty million dollars because we also would
probably have fifty million users at this point in time,
because when they banned us, we were the number one
app on both Apple and Google Play in terms of
trending apps. And they're actually the reason why, you know, legitimately,
we got in front of the House Select Committee because
it made so much news that Winkin was banned three
days after Parlor, So you know, it's there's so much

(01:43:46):
monetary loss that they've caused for us and our shareholders
now too, that there's nothing they can do to stop
what's coming. I mean, they did this, and I think
they probably knew, you know, that something like this was
going to happen down the line. But this whole Trump administration,
the people that we know personally and the people that
I talk to personally about this bill, they are going
to get so behind this and it's going to be,

(01:44:08):
in my opinion, one of the biggest recoveries because you're
going to have millions of people jump on this. You're
going to have millions of people get you know, what
they've lost for the last five years, and it's going
to be a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Speaker 4 (01:44:19):
Yeah, I agree. And if you need the link to it,
it is located at Jcshepherd dot com. You can click
on the Brian Rushshow dot com as well, if that
makes it easy to remember, and you know, it's right
there under the what is it? It's the bill bill
and class action under your dropdown menu of where you
can find it. It's a PDF download, so you can

(01:44:41):
even forward it to your congress person if they don't
know anything about it. It's called the Digital Free Speech
Reparations Act of twenty twenty five. And you know, this
is one of these things that's sadly, we the people
have got to continue to fight when it comes to
the free speech, and it really doesn't matter where the
speech is. Even if you are somebody who says, you know,
I want socialism, I think you should be free to

(01:45:03):
be able to say that. It shouldn't be censored. But
obviously that's not the ones that's getting censored. It's those
of us that say, hey, don't mess with America and
stop with messing with our freedoms, and we're the ones
that are always being attacked. And of course on the
website and on that page you can also there's a
link to join the class action lawsuit too, if you're

(01:45:23):
somebody who has been demonetized. How many people did you say,
I've already got on boarded.

Speaker 8 (01:45:27):
That we have fifteen thousand, and that's only in about
maybe five emails putting it out there to some wimkin
users as well as we've had some of our influencer
partners push it out on x, Facebook and other places,
and again of course those are immediately shadow band. We
have people with millions of the followers that are not
getting any traction on that. So it's still happening in

(01:45:49):
real time, and this is how we stop it.

Speaker 4 (01:45:52):
Yeah, we got to continue to fight. Have you got
any of the big big and I'm not asking for
any names, but unless you want to, have you got
any of the big influencers that have been affected by
this joining in on this?

Speaker 8 (01:46:04):
We have you know, I'm not gonna put out names
yet because I don't know if they've announced it yet,
but once they announced it, you'll certainly see that. But
we've had multiple, you know, very large influencers share this
out on x already, and you know it's certainly gaining
traction and it's something that big tech is completely scared of.
I mean, there's no doubt about it.

Speaker 4 (01:46:24):
Again that.

Speaker 8 (01:46:27):
Most of these people would try to kick this out
on defu limitations alone. But there's something that happened in
twenty nineteen that you were making you know, X amount
of dollars per month that you were getting paid per month,
or you lost your pages because you know you and
you can't market market to your people anymore, you can't
sell your products. This is something that's hurting you still
to this day, and there's no way around it. There's

(01:46:49):
nothing that they can do other than they're going to
try to say, you know, section two thirty of the ADA,
they're going to come under that publishers and role. But
I have a feeling that Trump is going to get
that obliterated as well, which I really, even as a
social media platform owner, that that protects me. But I
don't want it there because I really am much true

(01:47:09):
free speech absolutist.

Speaker 4 (01:47:11):
Yeah, and of course Donald Trump being one of the
ultimate people who has been censored and blocked and granted,
the money doesn't matter to him, but the fact that
he was censored and blocked by social media, you would
think that he would also be a big supporter of this.
And I mean even Dan Bongino, who he's in the FBI.
You know, think about the tens of thousands, hundreds of
thousand of dollars that he lost out on because of

(01:47:34):
his YouTube band that they did. So, I mean there's
a lot of big people that hopefully will be backing
this type of thing because we got to stop it.
I mean, the crush that we're seeing from social media
and the free speech, it just it has.

Speaker 8 (01:47:49):
To end well.

Speaker 1 (01:47:50):
Brian.

Speaker 8 (01:47:50):
Also, I have a really fun caveat to this here, okay,
because it's going to make it's going to make you laugh.
It's going to make your audiences that know laugh. But
just how many politicians and didn't get elected because they
couldn't get their message out? Get how much funding they
lost per month? And guess how many politicians that are
already in this over one hundred really, so this is
going to be yo. I'm getting so amped up just

(01:48:13):
thinking about it. But you know when I see the
emails coming in over the class action site and people joining,
and I see that, you know, we have people who
ran for Congress, who ran for seats that said they
lost up to fifty thousand dollars a month in donations
because you know, they couldn't get their message out. They
were shadow banned, they were shut down. This is going
to reach astronomical levels and it's something that's really going

(01:48:36):
to hurt big tech to where it's going to be
one of the most beautiful days in my lifetime.

Speaker 4 (01:48:40):
Yeah, that is that is awesome. I didn't even think
about the politicians because you're right, there are so many
politicians that did use social media to get their message out.
And how many of them were social were shadow band
and how many of them were banned and blocked. I
do remember seeing some that have been completely blocked and
banned and stuff. So yeah, that's great. You know, lot
of a lot of warriors to get in on this

(01:49:01):
and and we've we've got to do what we can
to uh to prevent it. And of course, you know
wimkin dot com, which is uh, you know, the platform
that we do stream this show on and we're part of,
and a lot of people have been have been gaining,
uh gaining a lot of support on that. How do
people sign up for Wimken.

Speaker 8 (01:49:18):
So they can dowlod it in Apple and Google Play.
We never capitulated to any of their demands. We fought
them for eight months. We won, so you're gonna still
get the same. Uh, you know what you would expect
from free speech social media. You can also go to
WIMCN dot com, w I m as and mary ki
n as a Nancy dot com. Definitely not as a
Nancy Pelosi, but and it's something that you can sign

(01:49:40):
up and really enjoy the platform and put your information
out there.

Speaker 7 (01:49:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:49:44):
Absolutely. And again, when people want to get involved in
the uh the class action or learn more about it,
where do they go?

Speaker 8 (01:49:54):
Just go to J. C. Shepherd dot com and they
can specifically click on bill slash class action lawsuit on
the menu that, like you said, they can download that
and they can also use the link and fill out
the information. Your information is one hundred percent private. We
don't do anything with that except forward it to our
legal counsel.

Speaker 4 (01:50:12):
There you go. And just so you know, and I
realized this because I looked up at the screen.

Speaker 1 (01:50:17):
I spelled your last name wrong, so it is s. H.

Speaker 4 (01:50:21):
E pp Ard and not the ridiculous way that I'll
have to fix that. But I still love your brother,
so I mean, I'll get all that right. But we
do want to fight, and I'm glad that you're fighting.
I mean, look, the reality is is and I don't
think a lot of people understand what you have gone
through with Wimken and all the fights that you've gone through.

(01:50:42):
You didn't have to do this. You could have folded
and said forget it, this isn't worth it a long
time ago. But you've become one of the warriors for
the free speech. And I'm glad to call you a
friend too, because what you have gone through, the amount
of money that you've spent, and and and just the
sleepless nights and everything. We've talked so many times about it.

(01:51:05):
I applaud you for it because I don't think most
people would have continued to fight for as long as
you have. And you've done it, and now you're bringing
it to this next level. And again I think that
people should get the get the petition, forward it to
your congress people. Like I said, this this show alone,
just on the terrestrial broadcast, we cover five congressional districts

(01:51:28):
here in the state of Florida, and the show is
listened around the country and around the world. So with
all the other people listening on the podcast, go get it,
download it, forward it to your congress people, and say
support this and get on it and and hopefully we
can make this happen because we've got to protect our rights.

Speaker 8 (01:51:46):
Yes, no, thank you so much. That's that's really kind.
And to be honest with you, Brian, I'm sure those
reparations for you. I mean, your show falls right under this,
you know, after the shadow bands and and you know,
I keep up on your Facebook page and things, and
you know, no one seeing your content.

Speaker 4 (01:52:01):
So I'm surprised that I hadn't gotten blocked on Facebook.
I'm gonna be completely honest. I don't know what I
have done to not get blocked. I don't know, but
I should have been a long time ago.

Speaker 8 (01:52:13):
Well yeah, I mean, it's honestly, there's gonna be so
many people that realized, wait a second, I qualify for this.
And you know, in many cases, it's not just about
you know, demonetization, it's not just about this. It's about
through censorship. And I feel like anybody who had lost
an account, no matter if they were making money with
it or not, should sign up for this because it

(01:52:34):
just shows the extent that they went to. And let's
just let's put one more thing out there. Trump had
to start his own social media platform for this. How
much money did that cost. I mean I kind of know,
but you know, specifically, I mean, this is something that
also goes into careholders of companies. You know, we have
multiple careholders and winken they are getting hurt every single

(01:52:56):
day because of this. You're talking about multiple, multiple public
companies that got shut down on social media. That hurts shareholders.
This isn't just when someone does this as a one person,
you know, individual sign up. If they have a corporation,
every single owner in that corporation, whether it's one share
to a thousand shares, is also going to be represented

(01:53:18):
in that So big Tech has something coming and they
are not going to like it.

Speaker 4 (01:53:22):
This is going to be brutal, to say the least,
and hopefully we can get more support on it. Like
I said, Uh, the best way for us to fight
is to let our congress people know both are our
congressmen and women and senators as well. Go to j C.
Shepherd dot com. Uh and and download that forward it
to your congress people and uh and we got to
help the fight. It's what we really truly got to do.

Speaker 6 (01:53:45):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:53:45):
And Jace Shepherd from Wimkin dot com, I'm glad you're
still doing the fighting.

Speaker 6 (01:53:50):
I know, that.

Speaker 4 (01:53:50):
On a completely separate note, as part of the the
the promoting of Wimken, we are working on potentially doing
a little uh something up there in Pennsylvania because that's
where you guys are based out of. And I have
a huge audience in Pennsylvania that they keep asking me, Hey,
when you're gonna come up to Pennsylvania to hang out
with us?

Speaker 8 (01:54:06):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:54:07):
So we're gonna get something together.

Speaker 3 (01:54:09):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:54:09):
Jacey and I talked about it a little bit. Uh
maybe a Wimkin rest kind of uh collaboration, but we'll
come up with something to let everybody know.

Speaker 8 (01:54:18):
Sounds wonderful.

Speaker 6 (01:54:18):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:54:19):
I'm definitely one hundred percent down for that.

Speaker 4 (01:54:21):
Yeah. And then we can go to the casino again
and uh and party because we had some fun last
time we were up there. Uh so we'll have to
do that, uh Jason Cheffer, Yeah, that's right. Uh Jaceysheffer

you missed that link, you can go to the Brian
Russshow dot com, click on the guests and it'll be
right there. We got to take a break. We'll be

(01:55:07):
right back, all right, Welcome back to the show. Good morning,
and thanks so much for waking up with us today,
and big thanks to Jacy Shepherd from whimkon dot com
for coming on and talking about the class action suits

(01:55:28):
that he's gone plus the new bill that he's got out. Again,
if you need to get information on that, go to
j C. Shehepherd dot com or click on the Brian
Rush Show and then click on guests and he's in
there as well. We've got to hold these people accountable.
I mean, we really truly do. There's just no two
ways about it. It's time brist has stopped playing these games.

(01:55:49):
And while we hear over and over again about how
Donald Trump is the worst ever and Donald Trump is
out to take away our freedoms, think about the freedoms
that we have had taken away from us, and think
about this too. And it's a very valid point that
Jesse brought up during the during the interview, and that
is and I don't know that we don't want sympathy

(01:56:11):
generally for politicians, but you think of the politicians who
have lost their run for office or you know, was
greatly hurt by the the shadow banning and the overall
banning that social media had done to them, and how
different things could be in this country, not only locally
in your area, are on the state level or on

(01:56:34):
the national level, if certain people were able to win
their election, if certain people were not blocked by so
much of the censorship that we've had. And I just noticed,
what the hell's up with the hair to I gotta
go get a haircut today, because like, there it is.
I had like this rooster tail thing going on. I mean,
the hair's kind of a mess todaynyhow, But I got it.

(01:56:56):
It was distracting us. Sat out of the corner, my
eye on the camera. I'm like, wait, what the hell's
going on to hair? It's a mess anyhow. Anyhow, what
was I saying, Oh, yeah, the disaster that has been
created by the censorship that has gone on and the
number of politicians alone. Politicians alone, and again that's not likely.
I want to defend politicians, but there were so many

(01:57:17):
of them that were shadow band that were blocked. In general.
We saw during a few of the elections in twenty
twenty and twenty twenty four how some politicians have complained
that they had gotten blocked. I mean, we are living
in a time that, unfortunately a good part of our
society revolves around social media. I mean, we can say

(01:57:40):
all the bad things that we want to about social
media and everything else, but it's a reality of our lives.
Our lives have gotten to a point now where we
are so surrounded by social media that these people have
control over us. And there's been so many concerns about
the digital control over the people. And this goes beyond

(01:58:03):
just your ability to take to social media and say
your thoughts and opinions. It goes into the realm of
making money. I mean, there's a lot of people who
make a good deal of money that actually have a
career where they make a good living off of doing
their social media stuff, whether it be talking politics or

(01:58:26):
like news Daddy, which is one of the ones that
I talked about, which I know it kind of come
across me like news daddy really but seriously, he has
a lot of really good content on his social media
and he has dealt with a lot of this pushback.
He has dealt with some of the demonetization that has happened.
You have people like Dan Bongino, who you know, the

(01:58:48):
thing that really became a rising star for him was
his show that he did on YouTube, and YouTube eventually
demonetized him because of the fact that he was saying
things that they didn't like and that took away his
ability to do revenue. That's when he, you know, got
involved with with Rumble, and that's when he went over
to Rumble and did his show there.

Speaker 6 (01:59:07):
You have.

Speaker 4 (01:59:10):
What's his name there, Stephen Crowder, Steven Crowder. While he
still has his show right now on YouTube, he has
a portion of it, but it's only a portion of it,
at which point he ends it by saying, Hey, you're
gonna have to go to Rumble for the rest of
the show because well, they're gonna defund me, and they don't.
They don't fund me over here, so let let's go
over there and do this so we've seen some pretty

(01:59:31):
big people that have done it. And sure, when you're
talking about Dan Bongino and you're talking about Steven Crowder
and others, I can only imagine what Sean Ryan also
was dealing with too, where they they're big money. But
there's still a lot of smaller people who have who

(01:59:52):
have have have created a platform and created a a
thing that they were making money off of and got
deep platformed and demonetized, which crushes them. And yet here's
the problem that I also have with this is that
while I want to say and we should, even though

(02:00:12):
the content is one of these things, we have seen
who gets demonetized, who gets deplatformed, and who doesn't. Now,
I have seen some horrific content on social media, whether
it be an overly sexualized content or something that leads

(02:00:33):
towards promoting violence and that type of stuff. And I've
seen the things that I have been blocked on, the
things that I've been censored on. And granted I say this,
I don't mean it's just as a joke. I am
surprised that Facebook has not banned me yet because I
say my opinion on a lot of things, I may

(02:00:53):
be somewhat shadow banded. I don't know, but there's a
lot of things out there that are just really bad
in the content and they're never touched. Yet if you're
on the conservative side, that's when you get touched. And
this is the type of thing that needs to be stopped.
It is the Digital Reparations Bill that Jason Shepherd has

(02:01:15):
come up with or another form. It has to be stopped.
And I know that there's the argument out there too
about how well they're private platforms and they can do
whatever they want. Okay, to a degree, I can give
you that slight bit of an argument. But here's the
problem is that when society is now revolving around these platforms,

(02:01:38):
it's no longer just a private business. You're in private
business that is in so many ways structuring society. And
if you're going to go to in there and you're
going to decide what gets said and what does not
get said, and it affects society as a whole, then

(02:01:59):
that's a problem. What's that fake book is actually allowing
a porn I have not seen that there. I know
that for a fact of all places. By the way,
x X has got some stuff on there where I'm
just saying it's got some rough stuff on there. But again,
as long as it's not children, and as long as

(02:02:20):
it's somebody not being hurt, I'm gonna be honest, I
really don't care. If that's your thing and that's what
you want to go view, that's what you want to
be part of, then go be part of that. If
you want to be part of a socialist online group
that talks about the wonders and how great socialism and
communism is, fine, you should be allowed to go do that.

(02:02:43):
But at the same time, if you're a conservative who
wants to stand up and say, look, here's the dangers
of socialism, here's the dangers of what government is doing,
we should also be allowed to say that same thing.
But they have allowed the the the restrictiveness of us

(02:03:03):
being able to give our viewpoint of what everybody else
is saying. And I think that. You know, look, if
you don't like the sexual material that may be on
social media, you should have the right to say I
don't like that, I don't believe in that. I don't
think it should be there. But at the same time,
those who do believe in it, I think they've got

(02:03:25):
a right to be able to have it, to be
able to see it, as long as it's something that
does not again affect children or harm people. I mean,
that's just kind of a simple basic when it comes
to our freedoms. Freedoms have got to be free and
free for all of us, not just for those who
might follow where we believe, it's got to be for all.

(02:03:50):
And again, as long as it doesn't hurt children, doesn't
hurt people individually, then so be it. But we got
to stop all this censorship, and we've got to fight it.
And again, let whatever it is that you want to
be into be out there, as long as it doesn't
hurt people. Just gotta say so. This is another example

(02:04:11):
of some of the free speech, and this kind of hurts.
This kind of hurts our girl, Jasmine Crockett. I don't
know if anybody saw this, but Jasmine Crockett got heckled.
And this is also, by the way, a sign of
how the left message is really kind of starting to
go away and that the left message is not as
strong as it once was. Jasmine Crockett she faced a

(02:04:34):
rather disruptive incident during a town hall that she did
in Dallas on Thursday, and she did this when a
conservative commentator, Sarah Gonzalez, who works for The Blaze, confronted
her mid speech, leading to a chaotic scene and Gonzalez's
removal from the venue because hey, you can't. Who do

(02:04:55):
you think you are trying to ask a question to
a sitting member of Congress, especially when you remember the media.
The event intended for the constituent outreach was interrupted when
Gonzales stood and began shouting at Crockett, which I will
say this probably not the best way to go about it,
just saying, but the confrontation ended.

Speaker 6 (02:05:19):
It.

Speaker 4 (02:05:19):
Basically, it was the confrontations kind of centered on Crockett's
political persona, in her public image, which has been very fake.
Gonzalez ended up yelling out that the people of Dallas
deserve better than a fake ghetto hood rat, which is funny.
It's kind of funny. She continued on saying that do

(02:05:43):
they know you're a rich kid from Missouri?

Speaker 2 (02:05:46):
Do you know?

Speaker 4 (02:05:48):
Do they know that you're a spoiled rich kid from Missouri.
The attendees and of course the security quickly moved into intervene.
Video from the event showed the several individuals Surroundinggazza before
she was escorted out by security personnel and in the
background you could hear people saying, get her blank out
of here. Gonzale's remarks referred to Jessamin Crockett's background, which

(02:06:13):
remembers she's she's talking about how you know she in
the hood? She in the hood. It's like, no, the
rest of your people that you grew up with said
you're in the hood. She went to Rhodes College just
as a private liberal arts institution in Memphis. She also attended,
you know, one of the most expensive private schools in
Saint Louis before enrolling there. But she comes out to

(02:06:37):
try and act as if she's some hood rat that is,
that is trying to stand up for those in Texas.
And what's that from Saint Louis's Well, she doesn't reside
in Texas. I mean she does now just because she's
married to the guy. But then again, we've seen so
many things where where people are say that they're in
certain areas and they're not. Now, I don't know about Texas.

(02:06:59):
I know that here in Florida, we do have a
rule where you don't have to actually live in the district,
you know, like Jimmy Petronis, who is the congressman for
CD one. He lives here in CD two. Granted their
next door neighbors and everything, but in the state of
Florida you're allowed that. But at least still he's here
in Florida and relatively close. It's a messed up thing

(02:07:22):
in Florida where you can be in Miami. You can
live in Miami that is your primary residence, and you
can still be the congressperson for CED one. It's a
weird thing. I don't know why Florida does it, but
they do it. But you know, regardless to whether you
know she's Missouri or Texas or whatever it is, she's

(02:07:45):
just a fake. She's an absolute fake. She comes across
as trying to be, as Gonzales put it, a hood rat.
She's a fake ghetto hood rat. And she does this
on her fake persona to try and get the likes
in and to people to be into it. Of course,
her big thing now is that you know, she has
the more followers than any other Democrats, so therefore she

(02:08:07):
should really be leading the party. As a matter of fact,
she should even be the president next because she's got
more likes. Sad, empathetic but I'm glad that she's getting
called out. But again, this is one of these things
where you know, you start saying the truth and they
censor you. They censor you right away. It's like, oh
my god, you can't say anything bad. But Sarah Gonzalez,

(02:08:32):
she's done a great job at really calling out some
of the stuff, and that's fantastic. So there's another big
problem that's going on, and Donald Trump's gonna get the
blame for this, and the numbers are going to reflect it,
and it's not going to be read right that. Right now,
there's about eighty percent of the three hundred thousand federal
government workers that we are losing, we'll be voluntary, while

(02:08:55):
only about twenty percent of them are actually going to
be fired. Here's the thing we are see going to
say three hundred thousand government employees dropped from the government
payroll this year. Now, what that is going to do
is it's going to show a drop in employment numbers
because a lot of them will probably not go get
a job right away. Some may, some may not. But

(02:09:17):
this is gonna be something that's gonna be twisted, So
watch for it. They're all gonna be like, look at
how bad. Donald Trump's numbers are well, Donald Trump's numbers
are down a little bit on that because, well, it's
government employees that need to go away. They need to
find jobs in the public sector, and they should. But again,
only twenty percent of them are actually going to be fired.
Eighty percent have taken the voluntary leave. What does that

(02:09:37):
tell you? So be watching for those fake numbers to
be coming about from the left and the media. But
here's another one that's going to be tough to fight,
because we hear about how Donald Trump's big, beautiful bill
is the worst thing in the world. It's doing nothing
for the middle class. It's only making Donald Trump's big buddies,

(02:09:58):
his billionaire buddies, make mo lots of money. And and again,
when you look at it with reality, yes, a billionaire
may save a million dollars and we the average taxpayer
may get four thousand dollars. Sure, that almost kind of

(02:10:20):
doesn't sound fair. But when the billionaire is also paying
tens of millions of dollars in taxes and he saves
a million, and we're spending thousands on taxes and we're
getting thousands back in savings, kind of balances out just
a little bit. But according to the nonpartisan Tax Foundation report,

(02:10:42):
taxpayers in every single state, we'll see a reduce in
federal taxes, which is another thing, got to point this out.
You'll see a result in a federal tax reduction. And
the White House is now tiing the new economic analysis
that estimates that taxpayers we'll see on average about thirty
seven hundred dollars in tax cuts in twenty twenty six

(02:11:04):
due to one of the provisions in the Big Beautiful
Bill Act. Now, if you're living in a blue state
or a blue city where they raise your taxes more
because they're running out of money because they've got to
give it all to the illegals, and you turn around
and you say, I'm being tax to death. It's all
Donald Trump's fault. Take a look at your pay dub
before you throw a temper tantrument and go which one.

(02:11:25):
Wait a second, I'm getting I'm paying less in the
federal taxes, and I got a federal tax return, but
they didn't get a state or a city fact tax return,
and they've gone up in my taxes. But according to
this non partisan Tax Foundation report, taxpayers in every state,
we'll see the federal tax reduction again going to be
a considerable amount of money on average, thirty seven hundred dollars.

(02:11:48):
And that's the middle class, the middle working class, dilibcys
seeing that thirty seven hundred dollars tax break, and in
some ways we'll also be seeing a lot of money
coming back.

Speaker 6 (02:12:00):
Two.

Speaker 4 (02:12:02):
What's that? George? The brutal cell phone? Gavinussen's team tries
to blame Trump for Can California can Florida? Oh, you're
talking about the hang on a second? What was that?

Speaker 6 (02:12:15):
Was that?

Speaker 4 (02:12:15):
The trailer truck accident. I'm sure that the family can
sue the question being, and we talked about this earlier
the show too, the the trailer truck driver, the accident
that happened under the turnpike in Florida that killed three people. Uh,
and it comes to find out that it was an
illegal alien with a California issued CDL that was driving

(02:12:38):
the truck. Can the family sue California? Probably? I don't
know if if Florida can sue California over it or not,
or if we need to, but I think the families
definitely should and and I'm sure that there's a lawyer
out there that can find some sort of loophole on that,
and California should be sued for it. Absolutely should be
sued for it, and and any I would even go

(02:13:00):
further on that, I would not only sue the state
of California, I would sue every single person who voted
for the ability for illegals to get a CDL within
their state and make them pay. I mean, look, Democrats
love to sue to make people pay when things go
against their ways. And I said it over and over again,

(02:13:21):
use their weapons against them, and they like to sue,
sue back, and I hope that they do actually sue
the state of California for that, along with the truck
driving company, because that was a horrendous situation that happened
here in the state of Florida with three lives being
tragedy taken because of an illegal alien making again an

(02:13:43):
illegal U turn on the turnpike and taking the lives
of three people. So I hope there's some payback for that.
I really truly do. All Right, we got to take
a quick break, one last break for the show. Don't
forget to check us out at the Brian Russhow dot Com,
also streaming here on the Florida Man Radio Network. You
could check us out at Floridamanradio dot com as well.
Hang on, we got to take a break. We'll be

(02:14:05):
right back. This is the Brian Rush Show. Good morning,
all right, welcome back to the show. Good morning, Happy Monday,
and thanks for checking us out today throughout the entire

(02:14:25):
North Florida on the Florida Man Radio Network and of
course around the world on the Florida Man Radio app
and of course on the podcast Rumble dot com and
Wimken dot com as well, where you can check out
the show. Just came across another post on social media,
I miss normal and normal being referred to this picture
that was posted where it had a caption of I

(02:14:45):
look at this picture and I see civility. I see
people that we know have differences with each other, but
being cordial to one another. I see normal, normality. I
want it back as a picture by the way of
presidents Bush's and Bush, Clinton, Obama and Jimmy Carter all
together at some event and Michael Obama, I mean Michelle

(02:15:08):
Obama in the background as well. But you know what,
look sure we can say that it was nice to
have that civility, and it would be great, It would
be totally great if we could do that same thing,
if we could have a time right now where we
could have civility. But who's the ones that are going

(02:15:31):
off and not being very civil? Who are the ones
that are being violent? Who are the ones that are
displaying levels of hate and disdain towards another? Oh, that's right,
it's the left. And I honestly miss those days of
when we could be civil with each other. I missed

(02:15:52):
the days of like George or of Ronald Reagan and
what was his name there, the guy from Massachusetts. Oh
my god, I just had it on the tip of
my tongue, tip O'Neil. Where they could sit there and
they could argue, they could fight it out, and they
could say, how this is bad, this is horrible. I
don't agree with this. We got to do something different.
We got to do this. Okay, great, So how's your mom,

(02:16:16):
Let's go have a beer. I miss those days, and
the Democrats are the ones that are pushing to not
have those days anymore. Instead, we've got to be vile
towards one another. We got to fight towards one another.
It's got to be the personal tax towards one another,
rather than talking about what's actually important, like the issues,
you know. One of the things that came up and
this is just pathetic. And I've talked about this before

(02:16:37):
how I really don't care, but the very much so
anti LGBTQ Republican Lindsey Graham apparently it came out that
he was gay. Now I don't know how true it is.
I don't care how true it is, but it's also
one of those things where I don't think there's a
single person that went, oh, Lindsey Graham, no way. But

(02:17:00):
this again was one of the things that was used
to attack him when there was a trial that was
going on for defamation and it was brought up. It's like, really,
do we have to get that load on things? We
just we need a little said civility big time in
this country.

Speaker 1 (02:17:20):
We do.

Speaker 4 (02:17:21):
Hey, thanks very much for check it out the show.
We gotta go. Don't forget to check us out at
the Brian Rustshow dot com and Floridamanradio dot com as well. Tomorrow,
Tayler Gray is gonna be joining us on the show.
It's gonna be another big show tomorrow. We will see
you later on. Have a great day. Bye bye.
