(02:22):
Brian Rust Show, and of course those listening to the
podcast later on in the day. By the way, that
thing is growing like a weed. I mean, it's insane
of how many more people are listening to the show
on the podcast and watching on Rumble and Wimken, and
of course here on the Florida Man Radio Network. We're
quickly becoming one of the fastest growing talk shows in

(02:44):
the country and we couldn't do it without you. So
thank you so much. I appreciate you for being here
with the show every day and telling people about it.
Where do we start? Where do we start? How about bed,
bath and beyond? Now, I don't know how much you've

(03:06):
paid attention to the news. In the past week or so,
there has been at least a half a dozen, if
not more into a dozen big businesses that have made
news about how they are leaving the state of California,
that they're going to shut down their locations in the
state of California. Everybody's just getting out. They're like, I

(03:28):
had it, can't deal with it anymore. I'm not doing it.
I'm getting out now. As we all know. We may
not all know this, but we're gonna know this. In
a second, bed Bath and Beyond, you know, it went bankrupt,
it closed down and all the stuff. There's really no
stores out there. And then somebody went out and bought it,
kind of revitalized it a little bit and is bringing

(03:49):
it back. And the owner of bed Bath and Beyond
has come out, the chairman, Marcus. I know I'm gonna
say his name wrong, Lemonas, Lemonas, Leminas whatever. Either way,
he's now not plans that he's going to open up
about another three hundred stores nationwide. This after taking bed

(04:10):
Bath and Beyond out of bankruptcy, uh taking it over
a new ownership, but he came out yesterday and he
was like, oh, by the way, the three hundred stores
that were doing we're not doing them in California now, Ricky,
bed Bath and Beyond they did push that weirdo stuff,

(04:30):
which is one of the main reasons for why Bed
Bath and Beyond went bankrupt. Now I gotta remember the
bed Bath and Beyond. Now it's completely different ownership. This
guy came in and he took it over and it's
it's not what it was. And again this is another
example of go woke, go broke. You know, Bed Bath

(04:50):
and Beyond did do a lot of that woke stuff.
They went crazy. They was. It was just on and
on and on and on. And the new guy came
in and he's like, we're not playing that game. When
I'm playing that game anymore. And by the way, California,
you are not getting any bed Bathroom Beyond stores because
of Gavin Newsom's horrendous policies that he has. And of course,

(05:13):
what does Gavin Newson have to say? He he posted
on uh or his team and by the way, have
you seen who his team is that that does his
social media. It's exactly what you would expect, exactly what
you would expect to be his team that does his
social media, which, by the way, they need to put
down the drugs because you're not doing the right drugs.

(05:36):
You're not You're not even trying to be even funny
or anything. You're You're just you're not. And his whole
like trying to to slam on Donald Chump with the
social media, it's not working. Just throwing that out there,
not working on you. I mean, some of the things
are funny, but not funny in the way off. Oh
we're we're we're laughing at Donald Chump. We're just laughing
with the jokes about how stupid you are. But anyhow,

(05:56):
he posted this thing saying break in. The chairman of
bed Bathroom do you All announces they will not open any
retail stores in California because of high taxes, high fees,
and forced unsustainable wages. So Gavin Newsom replies on this
and saying the company that already went bankrupt and closed
every store across the country two years ago. Okay, that's

(06:17):
your response. That is your response for yet another big
business saying we're not gonna do business in California because
of the fees, because of the taxes, because of the
forced wages because of all of your ridiculous, retarded policies.
And your response is, oh, for the company that went bankrupt,

(06:40):
you closed all the stores across America two years ago. Yeah,
and it's a new company, dip wad. Maybe all that
grease that's going into your hair is leaking down into
that tiny little pea brain you've got. It's just so
sad watching Gavin Newsom right now. I mean, and seriously
on a on a level of I'm gonna I'm gonna
put on a political consultant hat on the Gavin Newson

(07:03):
wants to run for governor, right, not for governor for
a president in twenty twenty eight. It's obvious that he
does because he's he's setting himself up to rebrand his image,
to get out there more often, to do more things.
Everything that he has done, minus the going on different podcasts,

(07:23):
starting his own podcast, involving conservative content creators, everything else
that he has done has been not good for his image.
It really hasn't. Nothing has been really all that good
for his image at all. And this and it's another example,
it's another example of how you are just completely blowing

(07:46):
away the facts of what is going on. It's not
like it was just bedbath and beyond that came out
and was like, oh, Gavin Newsom's a bad governor. We
don't want to be in o student because he's a
bad governor. That's not what it is. It is company
after after company that is saying we're no longer going
to do business in California because of Gavin Newsom. You

(08:08):
would think that maybe at some point, at some roundtable meeting,
maybe some intern somewhere who wants to get some points,
somebody should just go, excuse me, let's see. Uh, there's
we got a lot of businesses here on this list.
We're going several pages deep here. Everybody seems to be

(08:30):
saying the same thing. We don't want to be in
California because of the policies. We don't want to be
in California because it's too high in the taxes. Maybe
we should maybe we should look at that a little bit,
maybe just a little bit. I don't know. See, this

(08:52):
is the very definition of insanity, doing the same thing
over and over again and expecting different results. I don't understand.
And why don't businesses want to come because you're taxing
them to death? And on top of the taxing them
to death, you also have the forced unsustainable wages. Because
again this is one of the things that liberals seem

(09:14):
to not understand. I mean, it's it's in the utopia
as they grab the book and read the book, and
in the perfect world that I'm living in, they're paying
me more money than I could ever imagine to do
a job that a trained monkey could do, half asleep
and half retarded. But I'm going to get fifty dollars
an hour for it. It's utopia we're living in. It's

(09:36):
not reality because they have no concept of the fact
that the money's got to come from somewhere, and where's
it going to come from. But it's going to come
from the rich. No, it's not. It's going to come
from we, the consumers. And the only way that we
could do that, because so many of them don't understand
the business, is that you have to raise the cost

(09:58):
of things in order to afford these forced wages, or
you cut the people. You figure out ways that you
can do business cheaper without people, because people are the
most expensive element of most industries. And if you are
so stupid and look, this is not a diss on
retail people or service industry people, because look, there's a

(10:22):
lot of people that are good at it, but the
ones that are not good at it are the ones
that are always the ones that are out complaining, I
want more money, No, do what the other people are doing.
The good people that are improving themselves, making themselves worthy
to the company, and are making their paycheck or they're
moving on to things that pay them better. But you

(10:43):
get these people that you know, they have no skill whatsoever,
and they're demanding more money than people who actually have skill.
I mean, when you look at some of these things,
like the demand for twenty five dollars an hour for
like fast food that I have seen people say twenty
five dollars an hour, I mean, let's let's do the
math on that for a quick second.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
Here.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Now, most of them we're not gonna be full time,
so we'll do we'll do a little bit less than that.
We'll do the twenty five dollars an hour, and we'll
we'll just let's let's give them thirty two hours, even
though I know technically qualifies this full time. That's eight
hundred dollars a week, and that ends up being forty
six hundred dollars a year for you to work in

(11:25):
fast food, which is supposed to be an entry level career.
Even a lot of retail, you know, maybe maybe not management,
but entry level retail is also in a lot of
ways entry level jobs and low skilled jobs. The reason
for why you don't make a ton of money is

(11:46):
because one there's not a ton of money there to
be made, and two you had to be able to
earn it. And of course you also see the left.
They'll go, yeah, well this company made exit number of
hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Yeah, And that
company also has investors, and those investors who have invested

(12:08):
their money into the company so that they can make money,
they want their money back. They want to make the
money that they're supposed to make. So the reason why
they bought into the companies. It's not something where just
because a company made X number of millions of dollars
that the company has that money, because a lot of
that money goes to again, the investors. So it's not

(12:30):
like these giant companies like McDonald's and all these other
companies that they're demanding they pay these huge wages to
have like these billions of dollars just sitting in a
bank account, just growing and just not doing anything. But
they don't get it, they really don't. And more stupid
stuff with California too. I don't know if anybody saw this.
There's the rebuild of the Palisades, which is an absolute disaster.

(12:55):
But again going to plan now, we've talked before in
the show. For those of you coming into the Florida
Man Radio Network here, you may have heard this of
other places. If not, you're hearing it now because we
talked about it before in the show. And that's the
fifteen Minute Cities. And I suggest that if you've never
heard of the fifteen Minute City, there's several YouTube videos

(13:18):
on it. And it doesn't matter which ones you go see,
whether you go look at the videos that are talking
about the dangers of it, or you go talk about
or watch the video where they talk about the utopian
factor of it. Either way you go and you look
at that and you say, ooh, that's not good. Like
even the people that are talking about how utopian it

(13:38):
is to do this thing, and they're trying to make
it out as if it's going to be the greatest thing.
If you have a fifteen minute city. You sit back
and you go you don't understand what you're talking about.
You don't understand what you just told the people you
want to do. They're dangerous and this is another power
grab and control over people. A fifteen minute city. And
this is one of the things that we are seeing

(13:59):
with the fires in Hawaii. This is what they're trying
to redevelop there. They've been wanting to do it in
California for a while and now they have the opportunity
to do it the Palisades. The Palisades fire a fire
that never should have happened the way that it did.
Maybe a little bit of a fire, take out a

(14:20):
couple homes here and there, but to take out an
entire community in a fire, that is something that could
have been prevented. And they did it intentionally. They wanted
it to happen. And one of the laws that they're
doing now and including the delaying the ability to rebuild,

(14:40):
but one of the new laws that they're coming up
with is making it so that if you want to
rebuild in the Palisades now after a natural disaster, natural disaster,
there's always new building codes that come out to help
prevent that type of disaster from happening again. You know,
we look at it here after Hurricane Michael, here in
the Panhandle of Florida, we change a lot of the

(15:02):
building codes, a lot of the standards to make it
so that, you know, the next time we have a
Category five hurricane, we won't get wiped off the face
of the earth. So a lot of things got change.
And in the Palisades, what they're wanting to do now
is they're making it so that if the cost of
rebuilding your house is more than fifty percent of the
value of the home, they're making it almost impossible for

(15:25):
you to do it. Which fifty percent of the value
of the home, it's impossible. You can't rebuild what you
have there under those standards. And on top of that,
some of the codes that they're building putting in there
is things like increasing the height of your property, so

(15:47):
you have to bring in some more fill into your
property to bring your property level up to prevent floods. Now,
I think we know that water was not an issue.
A flooding was not an issue in Palisades. It was fire.
Gavin Newsom has been linked to several other deals of
bringing in developers to come in and develop the Palisades,

(16:10):
essentially forcing these people out of the properties that they
have owned for a very long time. And I've watched
plenty of videos of people that own property there that
have been talking about the disasters and the hell that
they are going through to rebuild their properties, and the
government is looking to take away the property. The government
also wants to do some government funded housing in that area. Now,

(16:35):
one of the things that I don't think the Democrats
were paying too much attention to is who was it
that was in the Palisades. It wasn't middle class, it
wasn't lower class. It was a lot of very wealthy
people that were in the Palisades. And they're making it
so they can't rebuild their homes. They're also making it
difficult for you to be able to just say, screw it,
I'm done them out, I'm going to sell the property.

(16:57):
They're making it difficult for you to privately sell the proper.
But the government, however, will step in if you want
to sell the property, and you can sell it to
them and then they can take care of it. Aka
build their fifteen minute cities, build the low income properties
in that area, so that they can house people and

(17:17):
once again do what make them dependent upon government. One
of the things that the Republican Party has got to really, really,
really step it up on. If Gavin Newsom does in
fact go down that road of becoming the presidential candidate
for the Democrat Party, they have got to highlight to

(17:40):
the world and to California. And actually, right now, the
Republican Party should be doing this. The Republican Party should
be going into California right now to highlight what it
is that Gavin Newsom is doing to the people of California. Yeah,
you're right, Ricky. And he also left the power company
off the hook too. Gavin Newsom has done some really

(18:04):
bad things in California, and some people just don't see it.
They don't understand it, they don't know what's going on.
But it's time for the Republican Party to step it up,
do a marketing campaign in California and destroy that greasy
slime ball. Now, let people know what it is that
he is doing. Let the people know what he's doing

(18:26):
to the people who own the property in the Palisades,
and make it clear too that yeah, it may be
some wealthy people that own the property, but if they
can do it to the wealthy people who have the
wealth and the power to be able to fight that,
then they sure as hell could do things to you.
And that's one of the things we need to highlight
because we can't allow people like Gavin Newsom to continue

(18:46):
on to try and fool the people that he's some
sort of a messiah and that he's gonna be the
greatest thing to ever happened in this country. He's a
dirt bag, power hungry scum. We got to take a break.
We'll be right back, good morning.

Speaker 6 (19:07):
Saying he's not good jeez, I'm just why he's wearing pants.
This is the Brian Rust Show, all right.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
Welcome back to the show. Happy Thursday. You know, it's
funny because speaking of wearing pants, Congressman Done who we've
had in the studio in Studio one A many many
times over the years, and we always had great conversations
in the studio. We'd be there back when we had

(19:35):
Studio one A, which is suddenly no longer, and then
we moved to the Knockodoff studios and we haven't had
him in the Knockodoff studio because well, it's just not
big enough to have people all up in and he's
he's given me a hard time. He's like, you know what,
I really want to come to the Knackodoff studio to
do the show because the question as to whether or

(19:56):
not you're wearing pants during the show, just leave that
in your imagination, whether I am or not. Anyhow, welcome
back to the show. Thanks so much for waking up
with us and getting us through your midday here on
the Florida Man Radio Network and of course watching on Rumble,
watching at Wimken, listening on the podcast, which you can
grab at Thebrian Rustshow dot com. Coming up later on

(20:19):
on the show, Keith Gross and Jared and Not are
both going to be joining us. We got a lot
to talk about with them as well. In the meantime
Gavin Newsom, which, by the way, William, I want to
point out your point, your comment the low IQ people
will forget anything, everything bit bad in less than a month,
just saying and you're right, absolutely right. But here's the

(20:39):
thing that the Republican Party forgets about is that the
low IQ voter, and not only the low IQ voter,
but the average voter that just has the life that
is really busy you do forget about things. I mean,
there's so many things. I mean, look, this is what
I do for the living, this is what I do
for the career. And there's at times every once in
a while where I'm like, oh, yeah, I forgot about

(21:00):
that because we're so busy and there's so much that
goes on. And that's the reason for why the Democrats
have always been successful is because they continue to pound that.
They continue to pound it into people's heads to a
point where it's impossible to forget. Like you look at
all of the bad stuff that they have said about
Donald Trump. You know, the left continually remembers the lie.

(21:24):
It doesn't matter if if the same people that were
telling the lie come out and say, oh, yeah, by
the way, everything that we said about Donald Trump was
not actually true. It doesn't matter because for so long
they kept saying Donald Trump is a threat to our democracy,
Donald Trump in the pep tapes, Donald Trump, and this

(21:46):
Donald Trump, and that Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump,
Donald Trump, Donald Trump, and that's all the low information,
low IQ. People remember, they remember the things that they
were told. It doesn't matter that somebody came out later
on and say, oh, you know, the same thing that
I have told you now a thousand times. It's not true.
They will never remember you coming out and saying that

(22:07):
that's not true. And that's the reason for why the
Republican Party has got to learn to do messaging. You
don't just come out with a fancy little message and go, Okay,
here's the message. No, you say, here's the message, by
the way, here's the message, by the way, here's the message,
by the way. In case you missed it, here's the message,
and you keep going alter it a little bit so

(22:31):
it's not a burnout factor. But you keep dropping the
same message over and over and over again, and then
the low information low IQ voter and people do start
to catch it. You start telling people over and over
and over again how bad their lives are because of
this policy of Gavin Newsom, that policy of Gavin Newsom.

(22:55):
Gavin Newsom did this, Gavin Newsom did that, Gavin Newsom
did this, it's his policy, Gavin Newsom, that Gavin newsomeness.
And eventually people start going, crap, you know what, You're right,
my life is affected by this, that's right. You remember
remember that place that my mom and dad used to
work at for years that closed down and they said

(23:16):
that they were leaving because of taxes. That's right, That's
why you got to get that messaging right. And that's
that's the important thing about messaging is the repetitiveness. I mean,
you look at advertising. When it comes to advertising, there's
certain slogans that they will say over and over and
over and over again. You'll hear the same radio commercial

(23:40):
over and over and over again. You'll see the same
TV commercial over and over and over again. And the
reason for it is the repetition ends up making an
imprint in your brain. And the Republican Party just doesn't
understand how to do that, or refuses to do it,
one of the two. Either way, they've got it to it.
But Gavison, Gavin Newsom, now he another one of those

(24:00):
posts that he said last night was it's on Texas
because now remember with Texas, if they went ahead and
passed their redistricting bill, that California was gonna step up
and they were gonna do it too, just to counter

(24:21):
the Republicans in Texas. Now I'm sure Massachusetts will do
it too, which is like rearranging the deck chairs on
the Titanic. They're still gonna go under water. It doesn't matter.
You know. It was one of the dumbest things when
the state of Massachusetts said that, when they were like,
we're gonna redistrict too, because because Texas bad. It's like, Massachusetts,

(24:43):
every single one of your districts are Democrat. There's no
need to redistrict, but we're gonna do it till okay
goes to show you just how stupid the governor is
in Massachusetts. A fellow Massachusetts people, how do you keep
falling for this stuff? Seriously? But now after yesterday's vote,

(25:06):
if you didn't catch the vote on this, the Texas
House has passed the new congressional map, which again favors Republicans.
The bill is now heading to the state Senate before
it'll make it over to Greg Abbott's desk, So it's
now made that first hurdle. The Texas House passed the
newly drawn congressional map that would end up giving Republicans

(25:26):
five extra seats in the US House. And I'm gonna
be honest, one of the things I'm disappointed in with
this is that Jasmine Crockett may end up losing her seat.
I'm disappointed. I want her to be around. I really do.
I mean, she won't go away. I mean that's for sure.
Even if she does lose her seat, she won't go
away because she'll be out there making noise and she'll

(25:48):
be like the other joy read that'll be jumping on
videos and saying stupid things left and right. But the
bill passed by an eighty eight to fifty two vote,
which again, this is the whole thing that the Democrats
ran away from. I mean, it was gonna happen anyhow.
I mean, that's a hell of a margin. It wasn't
even close on that one. But the bill now is

(26:10):
heading back to the Senate for another vote, and then
it will head over to Greg Abbott's desk. But Gavin
Newsom said, it's on. It's on where we're going to
counter it. And again, this is where the Republican Party
is going to screw up an opportunity because remember the
state of California, along with New York in the twenty

(26:31):
twenty four election, did a double digit shift to the right.
They didn't make it all the way to the right,
but it was a double digit shift to the right,
meaning more people voted Republican than they did the last time.
This is the opportunity to get in there now and

(26:51):
start delivering that message over and over again. Jasmin's gonna
run for president now her and AOC. You know what,
I actually I saw that. I've seen some serious people
that were saying that AOC should run for president with
Jasmine Crockett as her VP. Pick. Oh, please do it,

(27:12):
please do it. That would be that would be fantastic.
But maybe she can run for governor too, because you know,
she's she's the greatest, because she's got more followers than
anybody else. So there you go. But the Republican Party
right now is a great opportunity to again hit California,

(27:32):
to get in there and start talking about all of
the bad things that Gavin Newsom and the Democrats have
done to California. Highlight these things like crazy, and get
it out there because right now, if they go ahead
and they shift, they may shift it in the wrong direction.
That's just like New York. New York has also had

(27:53):
a shift to the right, and they may open up
some opportunities for Republicans. And this is why it's so
important to get that message out. And of course Massachusetts,
if they were smart, and I'm using them major league,
if they were smart, they wouldn't even they wouldn't even
say the word, write the word, think the word redistricting

(28:17):
because the state of Massachusetts is like thirty six percent Republican,
and you could go ahead and shift and redraw those lines,
accidentally creating a Republican district because the state of Massachusetts
are the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Let's be accurate about it.

(28:38):
Commonwealth of Massachusetts has not had a Republican congressional representative
since nineteen ninety six, which ironically also the same time
that we last had a balanced budget. Just throwing that
out there. But it'll be interesting to see now how
California is going to react to this, because Gavin Newsom
says it's on on, We're going to redistrict too, but

(29:02):
they could screw it up. But then again, here's here's
the other things that's going on with Gavenussum, and again
why the Republican Party needs to spend some time in
California delivering the correct message because now Gavin Newsom is
trying to claim the credit for the drop in the
homelessness in California. It's all my fault. I did me.

(29:24):
I'm the guy I fixed the homeless problem. We've tried
it for years. Don't understand why it hasn't worked right,
but uh, I fixed it. It mean, gavenussum, that's my
hair looking looking good?

Speaker 5 (29:35):
All right? Cool?

Speaker 4 (29:36):
Just make it sure. Of course, it's just kind of
ironic that it also happens to go right down the
same time as the crackdown that Donald Trump is doing. Now,
I will give Gavin Newsom credit. He did a hell
of a job at cleaning up the streets of San Francisco.
Great job at that. I mean, it was amazing to
see how the city of San Francisco had a homelessness problem,

(30:00):
dirt and drugs and everything else all in the streets
and you know, Daddy's usingping was coming to town and Wow,
cleaned it right up. I mean, I don't know where
they put everything. Anybody look under the bed to see
if maybe that's where all the piles of clothes went to.
He was able to clean that city up, So maybe

(30:22):
maybe Gavin Newsom actually finally did. But cities throughout California
and now reporting reductions in the unsheltered homelessness as California
succeeds in his effort to address the national crisis and
Gavin Newsom's support of the local government efforts and the
state investments. California is reversing decades of inaction on a

(30:42):
homeless inaction that also he's been part of too, And
some of California's largest communities are reporting a substantial decrease
in homelessness numbers, indicating the California's comprehensive strategic approach to
reversing this national crisis. Then getting people out of encampments
is working, but is it really working? And why didn't

(31:04):
the homeless drop from all the same programs that they
were being implemented for over a decade, So they've been
doing the same thing over and over again, and then
all of a sudden things change. And there has been
a massive increase in the homelessness in America due to

(31:25):
things like Biden's open borders, which is very much so
true with the state of California, and the surge of
immigration that peaked just last year. The homeless count was
taken account for the bulk of the historic rise reported
in December, grossly inflating the picture of the homelessness in America,
and because of the local agencies taking the count across

(31:48):
the country do not ask for immigration status. Homeless numbers
ballooned in a handful of states because remember, don't ask
them if they were to hear illegal, So it just
seems odd that when you're not asking them if they're
here illegal. Donald Trump comes in with his immigration crackdown,

(32:08):
even in California, and then all of a sudden, magically,
after programs that have been in place for decades haven't
done Diddley Squad, Donald Trump comes in and starts doing
his immigration enforcement and then look at that, we have
a decrease in the homeless numbers. Things that just kind
of make you go a little bit. And of course

(32:31):
some of the other places that do have some other
large number of increases in the homelessness include places like it.
I know this is gonna be a shock. Massachusetts, Massachusetts, Colorado,
and California all recorded increases totally just under ninety thousand,
or seventy six percent of the increase nationally. By the way,

(32:55):
just going to slide this in here for a point
to be made. All three of them are blue states,
all three of them are led by woke leftist governors,
and they are the three that account for seventy six
percent of the increase nationally in homelessness. But thank God

(33:15):
for Massachusetts though, because they're helping things out by doing
this this wonderful plan. If you are in a migrant
that is living in a shelter, which again you get
counted as homeless because you're living in the shelter, they're
giving you thirty thousand dollars to go find a place
to live in the state of Massachusetts. And then on

(33:36):
top of that, they're gonna also give you four thousand
dollars a month to be able to live on things.
Four thousand dollars a month. That's just shy of fifty
thousand dollars a year. It just it makes you just
kind of go, what's that shues. Florida has thirty three

(33:57):
thousand of the twenty three million. Yeah, I mean, if
there's any place you'd want to be homeless, I mean,
Florida would probably be a decent place of the weather,
and we've had the homeless problem here for a while.
Then of course, we had that issue here in Panama City,
and I'm sure you remember this back way before Hurricane Michael,
where people were literally getting on greyhound buses and sometimes

(34:20):
being put on greyhound buses and just sent to Panama
City where they would get dumped off in the bus
station downtown and then they would make their living there.
And once that bus station went away and they started
cracking down on a lot of that, a lot of
that homelessness went away. So it's interesting, but again it's
another leftists organization or leftist group that they are the problem.

(34:45):
I mean, seventy six percent of the increase in three states,
all three of them being very blue states, and of
course they drop in California's homeless population isn't because the
same worthless filled policies just all of a sudden magically
started working. It's because of the fact that you have
so many illegal aliens that are leave, that are flee

(35:05):
they're leaving, they're getting out of the way. They're like, oh, Daddy,
Trump is coming, we got to get out. And that's
what you're seeing. I mean, how many how many millions
of people now, I mean we're almost at two million
people have self deported. How many of these people that
came across the border illegally said screw it and crossed

(35:26):
the border back into Mexico just got up and left.
But there's a fear that they're that they're gonna get
caught by immigration and sent home. So a lot of
them are leaving, a lot of them are getting out
of there. But Gavin Newsom, in his his infamous way,
he goes that was that was my credit. I did it.
I mean, look, we had these great policies, and I

(35:48):
know that it took like thirty years for them to
actually take effect. But uh, yeah, I'm the man. Gavin
Newston President twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 5 (35:58):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Just think about that hair. Let it look good standing
out there at the White House. It'll be awesome. But
here's the thing. If Gavin Newson wants to take credit
for it, and there's no new policies, no new procedures
that they have done, or new programs that they have
done recently that have actually sparked, it's all the old
stuff that just never worked before just suddenly started working.

(36:23):
The question should be asked, then, is why is it
that it took decades for these programs to actually work.
If you want to be the president of the United States,
we don't have decades to wait for a program to
take effect. We need programs to take effect quicker than that. Sure,

(36:47):
maybe a year, maybe two years to see an impact,
but we don't need decades. So Gavin explained that one,
of course, I don't think there's very many reporters that
would be out there that would actually have the Kohona
to ask that question directly of why did it take
decades for your programs to work? But the thing is
none of them work because it costs massive amount of

(37:09):
money that one California doesn't have and two America doesn't have.
And when you look at the fact that the state
of California is billions of dollars in debt and they're
spending hundreds of millions of dollars on programs that just
are ineffective, that are full of fraud and waste and abuse.
Can you imagine if if there was a doze in California,

(37:32):
if they started digging into all of these programs and
all of the wasteful money, people would probably end up
in jail. We got to take a break for commercials here.
Just a second deificat coming up later on the show.
Keith Gross Attorney going to be joining us. Also, Jared
not going to be joining us as well. We had
to reschedule him from the other day, so we're going
to talk with him coming up in just a little bit,

(37:53):
but first we got to take a break. Thanks for
listening and waking up here to the Bride Rush Show
on the Florida Man Radio Network. We will be right.

Speaker 7 (37:58):
Back making liberals cry, one happy show at a time.

Speaker 6 (38:09):
This is the Brian Rusk Show.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
All right, Welcome back to the Brian Rush Show right
here at the Florida Band Radio Network. Thanks for getting
up with us, Thanks for having us on throughout your
day today. Of course, thanks for watching on Rumble and
Wimkin listening to the podcast as well. Everybody's seen this,
and if you haven't, I don't blame you. Gavin Newsom's
press office, and again I'm gonna give him credit where

(38:37):
credit is due, because you have to be honest. This
is the one good thing that Gavin Newsom has been
doing to set himself up for the twenty twenty eight run,
and that is the fact that he's been taking to
podcast and that he's been doing that talking with a
lot of people. And when he started doing this is

(38:57):
when it started out right where he was literally talking
to the right. He was bringing on conservative content creators.
He was going on to conservative or conservative leaning podcasts,
and he was talking to a lot of people, getting
things started and everything. But now he's been doing this
other series of podcasts and he has been bringing in

(39:18):
some of the biggest libtards that there are. We're talking
about Harry Sisson, We're talking about what's that the tons
of fun there, the Olivia whatever his name is, the
one that was threatened that she was going to go
on a hunger strike until Donald Trump changed his policies.
It's like girl that if you think one were affected
by that, we're not. And two it's gonna take a

(39:40):
long time. I mean, you might go hungry quick, but
I mean, we don't care. But the other one, Jojo
from Jurors is in this one and a few other
of just the absolute idiot left propagandists, and they're all
up in there, and Harry Sison is talking about how
with the one that he just recently did that Gavin
Newsom just slammed Greg Abbott and the Republicans who were
trying to help Trump brig the twenty twenty six midterms.

(40:03):
MAGA is losing their minds over this podcast episode. No
we're not, No, we are not. We are not losing
our minds over there. Yeah, though, Who's Your Daddy Podcast?
That's an interesting one too. Have you ever watched that one?
Holy hell? What is wrong with them? Of course? Hairbear

(40:27):
now coming out? You know, there's another post that he
did this morning. And by the way, if you ever
want to see my smartess in full effect, follow me
on x because and don't follow any posts because I
don't really don't post very often, but just go in
there and and just like read my replies you can

(40:48):
tell what I'm really like. Okay, what was it? He
still has this one post pin from November twenty twenty four,
America failed women. Tonight, Trump bullied, assaulted, and stripped reproductive
rights away from I'm across the country, and instead of
standing against it, many voted for it. We have failed
our daughters, mothers and sisters. Shut up. And I thought

(41:08):
that was kind of precious coming from him, considering he's
the one that got accused of well, kind of misleading
a lot of women and kind of womenizing, which shocked
the hell out of me when I saw that controversy
come up. I mean it died out unfortunately, but when
that came out, I was like, wait a second, Harry's
getting accused of sexually harassing women. Didn't see that one

(41:30):
coming on my bingo card. But what was the other
one he had posted? God, he posts waited. And you
know what I love too, is that he keeps posting
all this Donald Trump stuff. I mean, this kid is
like he is obsessed with Donald Trumps. In fact, I
think he's more obsessed with Donald Trump than the most
diehard Trump supporter. I'm willing to bet you that in

(41:54):
Harry Sisson's little dorm room he probably has like a
shrine to Donald Trump where every day he sits down
and looks at that and is like, oh my god,
oh Donald. I wouldn't have a life if it wasn't
for old Donald. I mean, think about that. If Harry
Sisson did not have Donald Trump. And if you don't
know who Harry Sisson is, bless your heart, lucky you.

(42:18):
I mean, seriously, I wish I didn't know who this
little tea waffle is. But if he didn't have Donald Trump,
I don't think he'd have a life. He'd have nothing
else in his sad, pathetic life except for this alleged girlfriend.
And it's alleged because look, Harry Sisson, he's about the

(42:38):
same size as I am. Same height, same frame. I mean,
we're both about the same size person. And I've seen
the pictures where, like he recently had one that he
posted with his girlfriend, she had her hand on his shoulder. Now,
I don't have tiny hands. I don't have little And

(43:00):
when I think about this putting my hand up on
the shoulder in kind of the way that he she had, it,
either it's a dude with really big hands or it's
a chick with hands that are just I mean, we're
talking Amazon size hands all up on there. But he

(43:23):
he posted what were the one that? And I responded
to him too, because it's it's the same thing over.
Gavin Newsom was driving Trump fans crazy. Maga thought they
were getting lower prices with Trump. Instead they got more
inflation and a wanna be dictator. Now we didn't, No,
we didn't. Oh my god. Maybe this is the reason why,

(43:44):
because the New York Post is reporting that Sony hiked
the price of PlayStation gaming consoles by fifty dollars as
Trump's tariffs bite into the profits. Oh no, that's it, guys,
it's over. Oh god, I'm so devastated. I am devastated
beyond words. Right now, I thought that. And I wish

(44:06):
I saw this post before because if I saw this
post before, I wouldn't have said nice things about Donald
Trump and thought that Donald Trump was doing a good job.
But oh my god, did you guys understand how serious
this is. Sony had to hike the price of a
PlayStation by fifty dollars. Donald Trump lied to us, He

(44:30):
lied to us. All our lives are worse. Now. Can't
believe that. I'm gonna cry, mostly on a laughter, but
I'm gonna cry because Donald Trump said he was gonna
lower the prices of everything, and the Sony PlayStation's fifty

(44:51):
dollars more. Now, you want to convince me that Donald
Trump was wrong. Convince me donald Trump is wrong. Well,
in California and in New York, prices are still expensive.
Oh yeah, but who's the leadership in those states? Because
here in Florida, I mean, there's some things that are

(45:11):
still expensive, but overall, life's getting cheaper, right, Michael, it
was already overpriced, and and who does that affect? I mean,
first off, I'm not a gamer, like the furthest thing
that I get to in games is I play Solitaire
in my computer. I mean, I'm not a gaming person

(45:33):
at all. So who is it that affects I don't know.
I think it affects most of the country. You know
what affects me is when I go grocery shopping. That
that affects me. When I go to put gas in
my truck, that affects me. That that's the type of
stuff that I get into that I worry about, not
whether or not Sony has to hike the price of

(45:55):
a PlayStation by fifty dollars. And why because unlike some
Peo people, I work for a living. I put in
sixteen seventeen hour days. I don't have time to be
sitting around playing on video game consoles because I live
in the real world. And right, rising prices does not

(46:20):
necessarily mean inflation, which again the left doesn't understand that
inflation to them is just another bad word. It's a
bad word that Donald Trump is doing, even though you
can remind them and question them. Hey, you do know
that precious Joe Biden had the highest inflation numbers in

(46:40):
forty years, right, way higher than Donald Trump's. As a matter,
if had the lightest inflation numbers that came out, it
went up like zero point two even though it was
predicted it was going to go up even more, and
it didn't. Sure, it ticked up a little bit, but

(47:01):
considering all of the tariffs and all the other things
that Donald Trump did, inflation didn't jump up much. So
it's really not that bad. But again, the left, they
get out there, they try to scare the hell out
of you by saying things that sound scary and Harry,
you picked the wrong one. I honestly don't think that

(47:22):
there's gonna be any Trump supporters out there that are
going to be upset that the PlayStation's going to be
fifty dollars more. Now to mention, I think most of
the Trump supporters anyhow, if it did go up fifty dollars,
we can afford it because we do this thing called
work for a living. That's what we do. We work
for a living. And then another thing that Hairbear comes

(47:46):
out with. There's a guy called Gunther Eagleman who has
been kind of a pro Donald Trump person and apparently
has rubbed Harry sis on the wrong way or didn't
rub him the right way or something where he's been
attacking in the past couple of days. What of his
pot saying that you're not game you're a coward who
sits on his phone all day? What are you gonna do?
Tweet at Newsom and tell him to stop? Maybe focus

(48:09):
on that crumbling marriage of yours. First off, Harry, I
just want to say this, don't be surprised if somebody
walks up to you in the street someday and just
cold cocks you and knocks you out. I mean, seriously,
don't be surprised if that happens. And two, you're sitting
here talking about you're a coward who sits on his
phone all day. What are you gonna do? Tweet at

(48:31):
Newsom and tell him to stop? Okay, let let's count
here here, Barry, you ready, hang on, give me a second.
I gotta get to a point. This is gonna be
God when we start counting this, it's gonna be even worse. Okay.
In the last twenty four hours, we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,

(49:13):
twelve posts from him in less than twelve hours doing
what tweeting. And this is just on x. This doesn't
include his TikTok account to the other accounts either. He's
had twelve things on there that he's either reposted or posted,
and they're all directed at Donald Trump. It must really

(49:36):
suck when the DNC doesn't give you any talking points
anymore and keep you focused on what you're supposed to
talk about, because he's just kind of lost it. So
this is gonna be another one that I'm sure hair
Bear will start talking about here soon and the other
leftist because it'll give something to complain about. We obviously
know about Florida's Alligator Alcatraz, which we have down there
in South Florida where it's the detention center that is

(49:59):
being used for processing with an air plart runway where
they can just put them on and out they go.
State of Florida's been talking about opening up a second
one at a former prison that has been closed down
for a while, and they want to call that the
detention depot. It's great, but hang on, let's go for
yet a third one. The Trump administration, actually we're going

(50:22):
for the fourth one. The Trump administration is now set
to open up its fourth illegal immigration detention center. This one,
by the way, is going to be modeled similar after
Alligator Alcatraz and the name on this one because it's
going to be at a at a Department's a Department
of Corrections, worth work ethic camp in Nebraska, and it's

(50:44):
going to be called corn Husker Clink. I don't know
who's marketing these names. I'm willing to bet you it's
Trump because he loves marketing. I don't know. Did you
guys see the photo when he had all the world
leaders at the White House the other day and he's like,
come with me, I want to show you my merch
and he brings him into the merch closet, which, by
the way, the merch closet was that it is that

(51:06):
office that's right off the west wing that is kind
of like the normally used as the president's real office,
but he turned it into a merch room, which is yes,
it's pathetic, but it's also freaking hilarious. But now the
fourth one that is going to be built, this one
again going to be in Nebraska, and it's going to
be called the corn Husker Clink. This is great. You

(51:30):
know that the life is going to be insanely upset
about that. Why does he got to come up with
these names? He's being so cruel, He's laughing at these
people that he's rounding up off the streets and disappearing
and now he's calling it the corn Huster clink. Oh
so sad. What's that? Taylor Swift without makeup looks like
another plane six Jane. It's all marketing. Yeah, yeah, have

(51:54):
you seen Taylor show to the makeup on? No wonder
why guys keep breaking up with her? She takes the
makeup of of like we're out, I gotta I gotta go.
I'm not gonna be part of this. Should have the
makeup on. Don't shake that off. So yeah, Now we
got a fourth detention center, which you know, I hate
the fact that we have to have four of them
because I think we should be deporting them faster, get

(52:15):
them out of here. But the left will, they'll they'll
go get all upset about it. It's it's just it's
too much corn Husker clink. So we got the Cornhusker clink.
We've got the deportation depot, we got the alligator Alcatraz,
and what's the third one. I don't even know what
the third one is. Oh, the speedway Slammer. It's the

(52:37):
one that they've got in Indiana. He's having fun, think
about it. With all the things that Donald Trump is doing,
and he's doing a lot of very serious things. The
man's having the time of his life. It's fantastic. So
here's the more disturbing news. And this is this is

(52:59):
our bipical leftists. And again how they just don't learn.
Louden County, Virginia. Now, if it doesn't ring any bells,
might bring a little tiny one, I'll remind you. Louden County,
Virginia was one of the areas where post COVID, we
had the issues of the school boards where parents were
finally waking up to things, seeing what was going on.

(53:21):
And there was the big story that came out of
Louden County, Virginia where there was the girl who was
sexually assaulted by a transgender in the girl's bathroom and
the father had come to address the loud And County
school board about it and was tackled by police, was arrested,
hauled out, and it became a big show. Well, now

(53:45):
the school district there in Louden County, Virginia has now
suspended two boys who complained when a girl who identifies
as a boy used their locker room at school. Now, look,
I'm just gonna be a boy on this one. First off,
I get it if a girl complains that a boy

(54:09):
was in their locker room changing, because there's a look.
But guys, you're in high school right now. Okay, Now,
chances are you probably don't have any any shot at
but who knows, maybe you do. I don't know. I'm
not going to get in there. It's high school kids.
I don't want to talk that way. But you have

(54:31):
a girl who she may identify as a boy, but
it's still a girl, still has a girl's body, is
going to come in and use your locker room, and
you complained about it. I'm just I'm speaking as a dude,

(54:53):
speaking as a dude who at one time point in
time was a high school student. Some things you shouldn't
compla But then again, I get it where their complaint is.
But the school is now suspending the two boys who
ended up complaining when that girl who does identify as
a boy transgender was using their locker room. And according

(55:15):
to Victoria Cobb, who was the president of the Family Foundation,
because now the boys are being put on a corrective
action plan by the school administrators, there being a corrective
action plan because you complained that a girl was in
your locker room. Okay, but Victoria Cobb said that we

(55:36):
will be on guard for any attempts to create a
plan of indoctrination into the district's denial of reality and science.
Now again flipping the hats off of being a teenage
boy and being a reality. You know, this is the
thing where the indoctrination does continue in a place in
Glauden County, Virginia, where you have had so much attention

(55:58):
given to you because of the stupid things that you
have done, and you continue to do these stupid things.
It's what's the matter with you? And I think, even
though taking the teenage boy brain out of me for
a second, the idea of allowing this behavior has got

(56:23):
to stop. You had a situation where and look, this
is worst case scenario, and that's usually how you should plant.
They always plan for the worst and you know, anticipate
the best kind of type thing. You had a situation
where a boy who was in drag or claimed to

(56:45):
be transgender whatever it was obviously not in all that
transgender otherwise, or maybe it's a transgender trying to be
a lesbian. I don't get. The whole thing confuses me
sometimes I don't any want to deep dive into it.
It's gonna hurt my head. So you get a boy
that goes in the girl's room and sexually assaults a girl.
You have national attention drawn on you because of the

(57:07):
fact that the father of the girl goes into the
school board to address the school board and you don't
want to hear it, and you have them arrested and
hauled out. More of your policies are exposed, more parents
complain about it, and again you are nationally exposed for
what you have done. Now two boys say, hey, we

(57:30):
don't want this girl in our locker room, which again,
you don't want to put girls into a boy's locker
room anyhow, because why there's an opportunity that a boy
sees a girl in the locker room and it's a
boy's locker room and it's all a bunch of boys.

(57:50):
Things could happen, and it's better to avoid that than
it is to go down that road, just saying, you know, again,
thinking worse case than it. But the boys decide that
they want to complain about it, and they get put
on a corrective action plan. Because of that, the people
that should be there may have been a thing about

(58:15):
how she was videoing them, But regardless the fact that
just shouldn't be in there. I mean, we're going on
to kind of the general here, but the fact that
they're putting the boys in a corrective action plan because
they're complaining about it, it should be the school board
and the principles and those that are allowing this stuff
to happen. And now you have these two boys who

(58:35):
merely just made a complaint about the girl being in
there now has to take on legal action and legal
representation to protect themselves. And the Louden County Public Schools
now investigated three high school boys for sexual harassment and
violation of the Title four, which is a law that

(58:57):
prohibits sexual discrimination, after they complained about the girl in
the locker room. See none of this makes any sense,
but this is the typical thing with the left. And
according to the report, they complained about the girl being
in the locker room. The girl had, yes, she used
her phone to record the boys complaining about her, which

(59:20):
again is a violation of the school district policy. Can't
have video phones videoing in the bathroom. And the district
investigated the boys and not the girl who recorded them
or the girl that was in the boys room, and
according to the attorney for the boys, the punishment includes
ten days of suspension, a no contact order with the

(59:42):
girl who the boys caught in the boys locker room,
along with the corrective action plan. Now tell me where
this is right, basically, the Loudon County Public School. They're
weaponizing the title for to punish anybody who expresses a

(01:00:05):
discomfort at being forced to share a locker room. And again,
this is the same county, the same school district where
a girl was sexually assaulted by a transgender boy. Now
the problem now is that parents have been given the

(01:00:28):
fear of don't speak up, because if you speak up,
you could be like that other parent and will arrest you.
We'll destroy your life. The governor, by the way, also
weighed in on this. Governor Glenn Youngkin, who is the
Republican governor. He addressed the issue on a radio show
yesterday and he noted that instead of pursuing an investigation

(01:00:50):
into the biological female in the school system, it pursues
the investigation against the boys who simply were uncomfortable because
there's a biological female in their men's room. Now again,
I know the teenage high school boy in all of
us is going, yeah, I'm okay with that, But there is,
aside from that, a reality here, and a young kid

(01:01:13):
did note that the investigations, according to the Attorney General,
thinks that this is the retaliatory process against the young men.
And you know what, I think that the young men
should sue the living crap out of the school district.
Absolutely sue the living crap out of the school system
district for this. Play their game with them. If this
is how you want to be, play the game, sue them,

(01:01:37):
because that's what the Democrats would do. But again, a
place like loud of Goutty, Virginia, you would think that
they would have learned their lesson, and they haven't. And
why it is that the left continues to push this,
It's just I don't get it. I'm so annoyed with that.

(01:01:58):
I relatively, I'm just out so annoyed with it. Anyhow,
moving on, just move on. Here's another one for you,
shifty Shift, Adam Shift, Mister, I haven't done anything wrong,
even though the evidence is out there that he has
kind of done some things wrong. Apparently now is taking

(01:02:19):
things a little bit more on the serious side. Because
Adam Shift is now set up a legal defense fund
as the mortgage fraud probe against him is heating up
even more, the Senator has now formed his legal defense
fund as the Justice Department's investigation into his alleged mortgage fraud.
Mortgage fraud is heating up, and last week Pam Bondi

(01:02:41):
announced that Ed Martin who would serve as the special
counsel to the investigation allegations of the mortgage fraud involving
Shift and New York Tyranny Letitia James, and I love
it too because they're now being investigated for doing something
that they accused Donald Trump of doing, which he didn't do,

(01:03:02):
and they're throwing the temper tantrums about how this isn't right,
this isn't right. The Donald Trump administration is weaponizing the
DOJ against his political enemies. Well, first off, Adam Schiff
and Leticia James, they are a political enemy. But remember

(01:03:22):
Leticia James is also the one who ran on I'm
going to get Donald Trump. She made the speeches that
she's gonna get Donald Trump. She did the man on
the Street things where I'm gonna get that, sob, I'm
gonna get Donald Trump. She did campaign ads where she
recorded the message intentionally saying I'm gonna get Donald Trump.

(01:03:47):
And then she goes after him on illegitimate things and
tries to take his wealth away from him and hurt
him as bad as she can. And you think that
there's not gonna be retaliation. I mean, you guys are
the ones that didn't actually weaponize the Department of Justice
against your political enemies. And now you're upset, you're whining,

(01:04:13):
you're crying that kibly, Donald Jump, Donald Jump. We told
you he's a threat to our democracy. Remember our the
key word in this every time that they say our,
not the country's democracy, our democracy. But Pam Bondy she
announced that Ed Martin is going to be the one

(01:04:33):
who's gonna be going after the two of them. Shift
if you haven't caught up on this, he's been basically
accused of listening listing a Maryland property, which Maryland is
a state that is that is on h on the
East coast, and he is the Senator representing the West Coast,
his congressman at the time, and he listed it as

(01:04:56):
his primary residence while refinance alone to get cheaper rates. Now,
there's two things that are wrong with that. One the
lying that it's your primary reticidence to get a cheaper rate.
And two, if it's your primary residence, then you're a
Maryland resident, not a California resident, and therefore you're committing

(01:05:21):
election fraud by running for office in California while your
primary residence is in Maryland. Now, this is not I
hate Adam Schiff, so I'm going to go get him
on something. No, dude, you broke the law. You absolutely

(01:05:45):
broke the law. So there has nothing to do with
Donald Trump is out to get you, and you know what,
To be honest with you, there's a lot of things
that the Department of Justice has to worry about right now.
And if Adams, which if didn't personally attack Donald Trump
as much as he did, if Letitia James didn't go

(01:06:06):
after Donald Trump like she did, I'm willing to bet
you that he wouldn't even waste his time with this.
Even if it came about, he would probably be calling
up Pam Bondi and going, you know what, let's find
something better to work about. Just not that big of
a deal. We got bigger fish to fry. But this
is what happens you eft around and now you're finding

(01:06:30):
out you went after Donald Trump on fraudulent charges, things
that were not even legitimate while you were committing the
same crimes you were accusing him of doing. Now you
get to pay the results. Can't wait to see. It
would be great if both of them go to jail,
wouldn't it? Oh fantastic? All right, We got to take

(01:06:50):
a break here at the bottom of the hour. Coming up,
We do have Keith Gross gonna be joining us also
Jared not later on this morning as well. We got
to take a quick break. We will be right back.
This is the Brian Rush Show. Hello, all right, welcome

(01:07:13):
back to the Brian Rush Show right here at the
floiora man radio deedward. I'll tell you the guys in
the chats right out, rumble and wimkin. You guys are
cracking me up. I don't know. We got on the
conversation here about Adam Schiff and where was there's there
was something in here that was just funny. We're talking

(01:07:33):
basically about just how creepy he is. I made the
comment about can you imagine him? You know, let's let's
let's make some ugly children kind of a situation. Somebody said,
you know, you need to, uh, you need to take
them to a local vet for neutering and then road rage.
You're right, And while you're at it, take Jazzy and

(01:07:55):
AOC just to make sure they're spade, which is okay
because a OC has said, I'm never gonna have children
in the Donald Chump world because because the world is
bad with Donald Chump and I don't want to do it. Yeah,
and and honestly, I the the idea of the two
of them, which I don't know. Does Jasmine Crockett have

(01:08:16):
any children? I don't even I don't even know. Hang on,
let me not that. I why do I torture myself
like this? Hang on a second, God, just don't tell
me she does. Uh, oh god, she does. She's got
some youngins. She has two children, a son and a daughter. Yeah,

(01:08:43):
hopefully those children can can can get a better life
than what. Can you imagine that being your mom?

Speaker 5 (01:08:49):
Though?

Speaker 4 (01:08:51):
Can you imagine Jasmine Crockett being your mom? I mean,
it's one thing to have that embarrassing mom, uh that
would say something to you at the ball game or
you know, in the neighborhood or something like that. I mean,
I didn't have an embarrassing mom. I actually it's the
flip side. I embarrassed my mom all the time. So

(01:09:12):
my mom was more embarrassed to have me around than
I was ever embarrassed to have her around. But can
you imagine that to think about Jasmine Crockett being your mother.
Speaking of Jasmine Crockett, she went on another rant, this
time in response to the vote in Texas to go
ahead and do the gerrymandering you mean the redistricting. Yeah, whatever.

(01:09:36):
She went on a ramp and of course, and I
know this is going to come to a shock to everybody.
Her rant was racist, Yeah, because it has nothing to
do with anything except for race. Because anytime you read
district thing, anytime that you do something that is against
what I want to do and what my party think,
is racist. Jasmin Crocketts come. Her comments come after the

(01:09:59):
Democra that's returned to do the vote which they lost.
It was eighty eight to fifty two on the proposed
state map of redrawing the districts, which we'll end up
giving essentially five new seats to the Republicans, and one
of those seats, by the way, happens to be Jasmine
Crockett's that she would end up losing, and she took

(01:10:21):
to her Instagram and she said that all of these,
all of the racists feel a way when you call
them exactly what they are. When you say, oh, you
guys are racist, and oh, you guys are trying to
implement racist practices with these racist maps. It's like, bro,
I get that. Look, I get that you took off

(01:10:43):
your hood, but your hood is still there, like we
see it. She also claimed in her video that democracy
is crumbling before our eyes, making a reference to the
Republican drawn map and she called it problematic as well,
and then giving some big ups to California Democrats for

(01:11:05):
planning to override the state's redistricting commission, who, by the way,
the redistricting commission last week was like, yeah, no, we
don't need to do that. And then the Democrats were like, no,
we need to do it. We need to stand up
to big bed Texas and the Republicans here. We need
to we need to do our own partisan map. It's like,
if the commission is saying now we probably shouldn't do it,

(01:11:25):
there's probably a good reason. And I'm willing to bet
you that the California State's redistricting Commission probably looked at
things and went, you know, if we if we readraw
these lines, you know that that double digit shift that
we took to the right, Uh, that's going to create

(01:11:47):
another congressional seat for the Republicans. It's not going to
create another congressional seat for California because they're losing seats.
But I'm willing to bet you they looked at that
and said, now, if we did that, it's gonna get
the Republican's a seat here in California. We don't want
to do that. But the Democrats because of the fact
that they're so blinded with their tds and their thhs

(01:12:09):
and by the way, THHS is Trump hatred syndrome, that
they they don't see anything rational. We got to take
down Trump at all costs, even if you lose a seat.
You're rightly California and Illinois created perfect Jerrymander redistricting. I
mean you look at Illinois. I mean there's there's a

(01:12:29):
few districts in Illinois where he literally look like you
know when when you see that guy that is just
way too drunk in the bar, and I'm talking about like,
can't stand up, and he keeps falling forward and he
comes back. It was as if he had a sharpie
in his hand. And they put a map in front
of him and they said Bob, and he looks up
and goes draw a redistricting map.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
Oh, he has that right.

Speaker 4 (01:12:54):
Read this and this is a pen on. This is
a p hello, this is the penon. It's on. Okay,
let me put the.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
Pen right here.

Speaker 4 (01:13:04):
And they're gonna slow as well and come out of
this hell and over there. How's the look? I mean,
that's what it looks like. It's so horrible. I mean,
it's like these little slivers and it's a wide section
and a sliver. And now we talk about sometimes the
the CD two here in Florida, which is like this

(01:13:24):
massive sized district. It goes from like a portion of
Walton County, Washington coont It kind of just does that
goofy little line and then it goes like, I don't know,
like to a mile away from Jacksonville, not quite that far.
It goes out there, though, it goes way out there,
and it's a huge district. And it's one of those
districts where I've even talked with some people who have

(01:13:46):
have talked about whether or not they want to run
for that office. You know, currently it's it's Congressman Done
who has that. But I have talked with some people
and they're like, you know, and I don't know if
I really want to do that because that district is
just huge. And I know that even when when Congressman
Done is in town for his recesses and like weekends
and stuff, he can't like visit the district much of it,

(01:14:07):
like he can visit like one area, because in order
to go to anywhere else in the district, it's like
an hour drive or two hour drive or three hour
drive to get to the district. It's almost as if
he ought to have an airplane or something because it's
so huge. But then you get those districts in places
like Illinois where literally it looked like it was drawn
by the drunk guy who couldn't keep the pen still

(01:14:30):
and he's trying to draw inside the lines, but it's
just a mess. But I think California they're probably gonna
screw up that New York will screw up two because
of their Trump hatred syndrome that is so strong, is
so bad to these people that they'll go ahead, and
they'll redistrict something and they'll probably end up getting a
Republican seat. Remember both states have had a double digit

(01:14:53):
lean to the right, almost a twenty point leane on
both of them to the right. So just say leave
it alone. You know, what the Democrats really need to
do is get out there and work on their message.
And not that I want to give them advice, but
this is they're screwing it up at this point that
they're not gonna listen to anybody anyhow, But they need

(01:15:15):
to get out there and do their message, and they
need to tell people like you and I why we
should no longer be conservatives, why we should no longer
believe in the Republican ideology. Get out here and tell
us that fight for us, tell us why we should
come to your side. And same thing with the Republicans.
Republicans need to do the same thing. They need to

(01:15:37):
get out there and be like, hey, just let you
understand what your Democratic people are doing. This is why
you need to come over this side. And think about
this for a second. When you look at the shift
that we saw in this country in twenty twenty four
with just Donald jump out there delivering the message. Donald
Trump is his team delivering the message. And we saw

(01:15:58):
huge numbers of black voters, huge numbers of Hispanic voters,
huge numbers of LGBTQ. Actually, let me rephrase that, because
they don't like that huge numbers of the gay population
coming over. They don't like the alphabet soup. When you
get a conservative gay person, they're like, no, no, no, no,
no no no, no no no no. I'm gay, but
I'm not a part of an alphabet. I'm not a community.

(01:16:19):
I just love somebody different than what you'd love. That's
how it. Anytime you talk to a conservative gay guy
or woman for that matter, that's the response you get.
They're not into all of that crap. That's a Democrat
fantasy land that they live in. But we've seen all
of that shift that came over, and the Republican Party
as a whole didn't do squat to jump on board

(01:16:39):
that train. I mean, if they would have jumped on
that train as well to help pull more, think about
how many more people would have shifted over to the
left in that election. Because now when twenty twenty eight
comes up and twenty twenty six, you don't really truly
have Trump. You don't have Trump out there campaigning every

(01:17:01):
day delivering his message and convincing people to come vote
for me. They missed that one. Again. The analogy that
I use, it's like standing on the West coast looking
at the Pacific Ocean waiting for your boat, and it's
already sailing away in the Atlantic. This is how much
the Republican Party misses it all the time. And I

(01:17:22):
really hope that they straighten it out. I really do
hopefully with the new leadership that's going into the RNC,
and I'm gonna to reach out to them and be like, hey,
let's chat that they'll think about it that way, we'll
see what happens. But the other big thing, which by
the way, is not quite as big anymore. And I
don't know if anybody's notices. Has anybody paid attention to

(01:17:42):
the fact that the push to get the Epstein files
is kind of that's dying out a lot. There was
what are we at, like the fifteenth or twentieth or
fiftieth attempt now to get the files all released. Donald
Trump has told PAMBONDI just dump it, just release all,
let it all flow out there, let them all see it.

(01:18:03):
And in order for Pam Bondi to do that. She
can't just release things because there are court orders that
have that have got things sealed. So Pam Bondy once
again went to the court, went to the court and said, hey, look,
the President would like to have all these files released.
Can we have them released? And the court, the court

(01:18:23):
that is by the way, very heavy on the liberal,
looked at Pambondi and said, no, the files stay sealed.
That's right. Lee Scott Presler, who's a gay conservative, which,
to be honest with you, I didn't even know that
he was a gay conservative until recently and I followed

(01:18:45):
him on social media. He swung Pennsylvania to the right
for the votes and even get the Amish to come
out and vote. And boyd are they attacking Scott Presler now.
I don't know if you've seen the left's attack on him. Again,
he's a social media influencer, really big time conservative, and
I had been following him for a long time and

(01:19:06):
again had no idea he was gay. I didn't even
know which. Again, it shows you the leftist gay community
or the right gay community. They don't get out there
to celebrate. They don't wear the boas and the flags
and everything else and be like, look at me, this
is who I love. I don't care. He just got
out there and he fought and fought and fought, and

(01:19:26):
he did a great job at fighting. And the left
now they're doing everything they can to cancel culture. This guy.
They don't like him because, oh my god, one of
them left the plantation, one of them left the Rainbow plantation,
and he's over on the other side. So we got
to destroy him. We got to destroy him before he's

(01:19:47):
able to convince others to go their side, and then
we lose them. And it's again another sad commentary on
the left and how they act. He has done everything
you can to save America, and it's you know, it's
it's again sad to see how the left handles that,

(01:20:08):
just absolutely attacks him. And again, if you didn't know,
you wouldn't know about Scott Presler, but watching the attacks
on him, it's just it's disheartening to see just how
bitter the left really is and how they're their derangement
syndrome and the hatred syndrome that they have just lets

(01:20:31):
it take control. But the Epstein thing, this is another
one because again Donald Trump said it release the files,
release the crack and put everything out there. Pam Bondi
went court said no courts being run by the leftist.
So the question is what are the courts hiding and
who are they protecting. But the the narrative now of

(01:20:52):
Donald Trump on the list and all we got to
release the list is starting to die out because you
have more and more people. You had Michael Cohen, Michael
I cannot stand Donald Trump for the life of me. Cohen,
the former attorney who hates Donald Trump with almost every
fiber of his being. He came out and said, yeah,
there's nothing to link Donald Trump to Epstein, being close

(01:21:16):
to him, working with him, being part of the organization,
being the attorney, there was nothing Epstein. It's just not there.
You have lawyers that represented Epstein who came out and said, yeah,
Donald Trump has nothing to do with Yeah, he was
on the plane a couple of times between West Palm
Beach and New York. But yeah, other than that, there's nothing.

(01:21:38):
Bill Barr now coming out and saying he never saw
any evidence that President Trump intervened or committed a crime
related to Jeffrey Epstein's case. So now the narrative that
the left has about Donald Trump. He's covering up. He's

(01:22:00):
he's protecting himself.

Speaker 6 (01:22:02):
He's not.

Speaker 4 (01:22:04):
I mean, what part of release all of the files,
don't you understand? And yet the liberal Democrat judges say,
oh no, you can't do that. Those files are sealed.
Now I agree, I don't want to see the child
porn that was involved with Jeffrey Epstein. I think those
things should. Honestly, if we could destroy the evidence of that,

(01:22:26):
I would love to see that. I would love to
see the child pornography be destroyed because that's something that
should never be seen by anybody. But that was related
directly to Jeffrey Epstein himself, wasn't relating to anybody else.
But we also don't need to release the victims names
or anything. We don't need to revictimize the victims. But
other than that, release all the other stuff. Donald Trump

(01:22:48):
he said, I got nothing to hide. I was not
part of all of this. And the left is like,
he's covering up for himself, he's protecting himself and his buddies.
I mean, if Donald Trump was really truly protecting his
billionaire buddies, his billionaire buddies would not go to him
and say, hey, you know that, you know that big

(01:23:09):
two hundred million dollar ballroom that you want to put
onto the White House? Who do I write to check
out to? Do I write to check out to? But
do I do it? You wouldn't see all of Donald
Trump's billionaire buddies doing all of their things to help
make this country great. Which these people don't need to
get involved in government, None of them do. They could
go off and live their happy life and be done

(01:23:30):
with things, but they're not. They're getting involved. So Donald
Trump's not trying to cover for them, and it's obvious
he's not trying to cover for him. But the left continue,
oh my god, donald Trump in the Epstein list. But
now they're all starting to go sh.

Speaker 7 (01:23:45):
Sh.

Speaker 4 (01:23:47):
We know who's actually on the list, and Donald Trump's
not on the list, and this might look really bad
for us. So dial it down a notch. That's out
a lot of as a matter of fact, shut it
right the hell off. Stop talking about it. Just the

(01:24:08):
idea of having Trump arrangement syndrome and Trump hatred syndrome
and every day waking up knowing that you've got to
come up with a way to hate Donald Trump. But again,
I don't know how many more people it's going to
take to come out to literally say hey, yeah, Donald
Trump's not part of that. They boycott, we bycot they

(01:24:33):
cancel culture, we make them famous. Is good point. Let's
see what Jeffrey Dahmer rubbed elbows to lots of people
and they didn't join him for lunch. That's disturbing. But
you know what, here's the other thing too, is that
they try to link the photos. There's a photo with
Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, big deal. You know when

(01:24:55):
you are in the public realm, and I can honestly
say I've you know, obviously not on that same level
as him. But over the years, I remember in this
business for thirty six years, and over the thirty six years,
I've taken my photos with people I don't even know
who they are. I've had people that have come up
to me and said, hey, can I get a photo

(01:25:16):
with you? And I'm like, yeah, sure, you know, hey,
arm around a photo taken. That person could be somebody
who is a rapist or something or does something really bad.
I don't know that they're just somebody who was a
fan who came up and said, hey, can I get
a picture taken and you're like, yeah, you don't stop
to vet people like that all the time. So the
idea that there's just a photo with with Donald Trup.

(01:25:38):
Of course they've also you know, aied a lot of
photos too, just to make it added extra. My favorite
one is the one where he's on the couch with
the girl with the arm that's about eight feet long.
It's like, come on, guys, that is clearly photoshop. Look
at her arm unless she's an alien. All Right, Keith
Gros's gonna be joining us out to the brink. We

(01:25:58):
will be read back. This is the Brian Rush Show.
Hello and thanks for listening. All right, welcome back to

(01:26:19):
the show. It is the Brian Russ Show right here
at the Florida Man Radio Network, also stream a live
and Rumble and Wimkin dot Com. Thanks so much for
waking up with us today. You know, I got a
confession to make. I've had one of these weeks. It
has been a crazy busy week, a lot going on,
a lot of craziness going on, and I have spent

(01:26:40):
the week booking guests and obviously the other day we
had we had the issue where a couple of the
guests things just didn't work out too well with us,
and they did, but I've messed up so many dang
things it's ridiculous. But one of the people that we
want to bring to the show is Attorney Keith Gross.

Speaker 8 (01:26:59):
Hey, Keith, hey there, how are you.

Speaker 4 (01:27:02):
I'm doing wonderful? How are you today?

Speaker 8 (01:27:04):
Doing good? So good to be with you this Mark.

Speaker 4 (01:27:06):
I'm glad to have you here. It's been a little
while since we've we've chatted, and you know, there's there's
there's so many damn things for us to talk about
that I'm almost at this point. I don't even know
where where we should begin, because where do we go. Obviously,
we've had a big week with with things with the
the the negotiation deals that we're going on with with

(01:27:29):
Trump and Zelensky and all that stuff. I want some
of your thoughts on that. What do you what do
you think is going on with all of this?

Speaker 9 (01:27:37):
Well, if we can count on anyone to get a
good deal for America, it's Donald Trump. The real question
is how reasonable is z Lensky going to be and
how reasonable is Putin going to be. They're in sort
of a you know, a no win situation right now,
where Russia has tried to take another country's property, and
naturally that other country, Ukraine, isn't happy about it. But

(01:27:58):
the reality is without America and a number of other
countries coming to back Ukraine up, they will lose to Russia.
So obviously Americans shouldn't be footing the bill for this conflict.
We've been covering the defense costs for Europe via NATO,
paying more than our fair share for decades. So if
Europe cares about the conflict that is on their doorstep,

(01:28:18):
it's time for them to step up. And I'm sure
that's something that Donald Trump is pushing for behind the scenes,
because you saw on his first term he did a
good job of pushing back on our contributions to NATO
compared to Europe's and how they haven't been carrying their weight.

Speaker 4 (01:28:33):
Yeah. Yeah, it's been insane to watch how Donald Trump.
And we got to admit, Donald Trump is the daddy,
and that's the best way to put it. Watching him.
You know how he's handled the NATO situation. I mean
last time around when he basically called them all out
in front of everybody, just said, hey, you guys aren't

(01:28:53):
paying your fair share. We're not paying any extra, you're
gonna pay your fair share. And lo and behold, they
picked up the tab and this started paying their fair
share and watching them this time around. I meant, I
got ask everybody that I talked with about this their
thoughts and opinions on it, because I don't think we
have ever seen a visual like this. I mean, first off,
to have that number of leaders join the White House

(01:29:17):
at one time, I don't remember the last time that
it's happened. I know it's happened, but I couldn't give
you a specific time. But the photo that came out
with all of the leaders sitting in the chairs with
their hands on the lap in the hallway like waiting
for the principal to come in. What was your first
thought when you saw that photo?

Speaker 9 (01:29:37):
You know, that's the sort of thing where you expect
to see a photo like that during a world war
or something, and you shouldn't have to have that sort
of response to a basic regional conflict like this. But
it shows the links to which Donald Trump is going
to try to get Europe involved to finally start taking
responsibility for their sphere of influence, rather than relying on
American taxpayers to cover their defense gods.

Speaker 4 (01:30:00):
Yeah, yeah, it's uh, it's it's just wild to watch
what Donald Trump is doing. And I don't know if
you saw this one too, but when he was with
the UH with Zelensky and all the leaders and they
were actually sitting there chatting and they they got a
whole bunch of stuff done, he was like, hang on
a second, let me go call uh uh Vladimir Putin.
I'll be right back. Hang on, I'm just gonna go.
And then it gets up and goes and calls him.

(01:30:21):
It's like, what what what message do you think Donald
Trump is delivering to the world And the rest of
the world is seeing because to me, the American power
and strength is back on full display and I kind
of can't honestly remember the last time that we've displayed
this level of power around the world.

Speaker 8 (01:30:42):
No, it's refreshing to see, you know.

Speaker 9 (01:30:43):
I think we all know that if Donald Trump had
been in the White House instead of Biden years ago,
this conflict never would have broken out because it wouldn't
have had that embarrassing Afghanistan withdrawal. YEA, strength is what
produces peace, and Donald Trump leading with this piece through
strength ideology. It says everything. You know, he's trying to
broker a piece deal between nations, and the fact that

(01:31:04):
he can pick up the phone and call another world
leader knowing dang well he's going to get an answer
on the other end of that phone. Obviously, that tells
you that America is in the driver's seat. If we
wanted to intervene in that conflict, we could, and we
could one hundred percent win it on behalf of Ukraine.
But the reality is we shouldn't have to. America should
not have to fight everyone else's battles. America's military should

(01:31:26):
be to protect our country and they've got plenty to
do in that regard lately, especially given the number of
illegals in our country right now.

Speaker 4 (01:31:32):
Yeah, yeah, you're right. And you know the other thing too,
that that some people have missed out on, and of
course the mainstream media is not talking about it much.
Putin flat out admitted that they never would have invaded
Ukraine if Donald Trump was still the president, and it
wasn't even like a roundabout kind of a hinted to it.
He flat out admitted it. And the mainstream media and

(01:31:52):
the left won't say a word about it.

Speaker 9 (01:31:56):
No, they like to avoid common sense conclusions. Usually they'll
say so and so said this without evidence. Well, common
sense is evidence.

Speaker 4 (01:32:03):
Yeah, that's true. They do love to do that. You know,
they don't need evidence, They just need feelings and emotions.
As long as they got feelings and emotions, then that's
that's all we need. But it has been a trip
to watch how Donald Trump is handling this and and
to see the stark contest between Joe Biden's administration. We

(01:32:24):
can't say Joe Biden because we now know that he
wasn't really the president and then Donald Trump and and
I mean it's it's it's not even night and day.
It's like last year and next year. That's that's how
different the two are. With how the the respect has
been gathered around the.

Speaker 9 (01:32:39):
World, America's back, Brian. Now we've got to get real
work done. We've got to get folks in Congress to
get bill's passed that codify the Trump administration's priorities and
start to repeal some of the bureaucratic overreach we've seen
building for decades.

Speaker 4 (01:32:54):
Yeah, yeah, you're right. And and we obviously go back
to to session here at about a week and a half.
And obviously the first thing is going to be. We
have to get the fear mongering out that, oh my god,
the government is going to shut down in thirty days
if we don't get a budget passed, and we'll hear
that for the next month about how you know, it's
getting down to the wire and the Democrats are causing

(01:33:16):
the problems and the Republicans are causing the problems, and
then last minute we'll get in a continuing resolution and
then same story over and over and over again, which
is great for the media because all they've got to
do is just look into the past and take their
post from last year and just repost it because it's
the same thing every year with these people in Washington.

Speaker 8 (01:33:35):
But we need to get some there, really is.

Speaker 9 (01:33:37):
Yeah, the wire depth isty keeps going up. They never
have a real conversation about cuts the wait till the
deadline is right about to pass, and then they just say, okay, well,
we'll just keep spending just like we are now and
we'll talk about it later and then later it never comes.

Speaker 4 (01:33:50):
Yeah, or or we'll we'll save ten million dollars over
ten years and then spend fifty million in the process,
but hey, we save the ten million on that way things.
So I don't know, I don't see what you're complaining about.
That's the one thing I've called out Rick Scott on
that one too. I'm like, what is the deal with that?
It's like, why do you constantly do this? Because you're

(01:34:10):
a businessman in addition to you know, your your law thing,
and and can you imagine saying all right, well, I've
got to reduce my spending a little bit otherwise I'm
going to go bankrupt. And you know what I'll do
is over the next ten years, I'll save some money.
You won't be in existence in ten.

Speaker 8 (01:34:28):
Years, you know, Brent. I look at it this way.

Speaker 9 (01:34:31):
Think about what would happen if you had a kid
and you told him they're not allowed to do something,
and then they went and did it, and you just said, well,
you shouldn't have done that, but there's no real consequence. Yeah,
they're gonna keep doing it because they keep getting away
with it. Now you mentioned Rick Scott, he usually says
exactly the right thing about continuing resolutions. He points out
his own business background because he's had a serious business
career and he's earned a lot of money. He knows

(01:34:54):
that you can't run a business or a country this way,
and he usually points that out. He'll be on news
conferences this month, no doubt, point out that continuing resolutions
are an insane way to get budgeting done for the
federal government. But at the end of the day, when
it's down to the wire, pretty much everybody, including him,
is going to vote for this continuing resolution. So until
they all really put their foot down and say, look,

(01:35:16):
we realize it's going to be painful, but we are
going to vote no.

Speaker 8 (01:35:19):
We have to have a.

Speaker 9 (01:35:20):
Real conversation about real cuts and pass a new budget,
not just a copy of the old one. Until they
start voting no, it's going to keep happening just like
it is because there's no consequence. Because those that are
on the left and in the middle, you know, those
those rhino Republicans, the establishment types, they're gonna keep doing
what they're doing because they know that at the end

(01:35:42):
of the day, those on the right, the real conservatives,
are gonna cave because they don't want to be blamed
for shutting down the government, which is not as bad
as it's going to be made out to be. You know,
you pointed out how good it's going to be for
the media, they're going to scream and fuss about this.
But to everybody listening, when the government quote shuts down,
most things that we rely on actually keep working just fine.

(01:36:03):
The military still shows up, the SAA still directs air traffic,
all the normal things happen. There's gonna be some mess
on the back end getting everybody paid because that gets delayed,
But the reality is critical functions keep working.

Speaker 4 (01:36:15):
Yeah, and all the people that are in government that
may not get paid for a little while, like you said,
they get paid, Like if they don't work for a
couple of weeks, there's still gonna get paid for all that.
It's just it's kind of a mess when you when
you see it, and it's a it's this little fantasy
that the government lives in and they try to tell you,
you know, the reality of some things, but it just

(01:36:37):
doesn't work out. But I want to talk about the
immigration thing because this is this is becoming more and
more interesting. I don't know if you saw the latest
detention center that the Trump administration is coming up with,
and it is the what was it, the the the
corner Husker Clink is the latest name. Because this one
is up in Nebraska. I don't know who is coming

(01:36:57):
up with the marketing for all this stuff. It's probably Trump,
to be perfectly honest with you, but it is absolutely hilarious.
We've got the corn corn Husker clink, We've got the
the speed was the speedway something that in Indiana, we
got the the deportation Depot, and then Alligator Alcatraz. We
can't just call it, like, you know, the Bob Jones

(01:37:18):
Detention Center. We got to go all out on it.
It's kind of funny, but we're obviously seeing some major
things going on, the crime being cracked down in DC,
all the immigration stuff. Let's start with DC. What are
your thoughts on what Donald Trump is doing there?

Speaker 9 (01:37:33):
Well, it's about time. DC was getting so unsafe that
folks couldn't walk down the sidewalk without risk of getting killed,
or drive a car without getting carjacked. We had members
of Congress getting carjacked. I remember in I think it
was last year, Speaker Service got in a shootout with
somebody trying to steal a laptop from one of their protectees. Yeah,
so arm's pretty wild when they're attacking Secret Service agents

(01:37:55):
and thinking they're going to get away with it. I'm
glad Trump's taking over and putting appropriate law enforcement response
in place.

Speaker 4 (01:38:01):
Yeah yeah, and it's you know the thing that I
find amazing too, When a speedway slammer, that's what it's called.
Thanks Jeff, this is a great names. I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:38:12):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:38:13):
The thing with with Washington, DC is that it happened fast,
Like within the first like twenty four or forty eight hours,
there's like one hundred people arrested. I think we're up
like seven eight hundred people at this point. And you know,
watching the social media videos, people are posting, going, I
hate Donald Trump. I don't like him, I don't vote
for him, but wow, look at how nice it is

(01:38:34):
in DC right now. There's no sirens. I could walk
down the street walk in my dog. So even like
the start I hate Donald Trumper's are coming out in
DC and going he was right.

Speaker 8 (01:38:46):
Of course, he was right. Back to common sense.

Speaker 9 (01:38:48):
You asked any guy in a coffee house in Southport
how you saw crime, and they said, well, you put
cops on the streets and arrest the bad guys. That's
pretty common sense.

Speaker 4 (01:38:56):
It works, Yeah, yeah, it does. And of course the
homeless situation also being cleaned up. In DC. And I
don't know if you saw this, but Gavin Newsom is
now trying to take credit for the drop in the
homelessness in California when we all kind of know what
it really is. It's the deportation threats. These people just

(01:39:16):
got up in the left. But Gavin Newsom got to
take the credit for it.

Speaker 9 (01:39:21):
That guy is flipping himself over backwards, trying to make
himself look reasonable in hopes of a run at a presidency,
isn't he He's going crazy?

Speaker 4 (01:39:29):
Yeah, it's insane watching watching Gavin Newsom do that. We're
talking with the Keith Gross who, by the way, author
of the book called Dirt Roads to Runways Defending the
American Dream. Where where can people get that book? By
the way, and by the way, not to throw any
pressure or anything, I still haven't got to signed copy
of that book, But I digress. I'm not gonna I'm

(01:39:51):
not gonna harp all that. But where can other people
get the book?

Speaker 9 (01:39:54):
Book is available anywhere books are sold. It's on Amazon
dot com, Barnes Andnoble dot com. It is is an
audiobook on audible.

Speaker 4 (01:40:01):
Who does the audio on it? Is it you?

Speaker 8 (01:40:04):
I actually read it? It was a good way for
me to proofread.

Speaker 9 (01:40:06):
I had a copy out there or manuscript. I was
getting my pen out every other page, finding a new error.

Speaker 8 (01:40:11):
We'd overload it.

Speaker 4 (01:40:12):
Yeah, Goo, good deal, Awesome. So we're again we're talking
with Keith Gross and what else do you as on
your mind when it comes to things going on in
the country right now? Because there's again there's so much
crazy thisess it's like where do you even pinpoint and
start with the conversation?

Speaker 9 (01:40:27):
So much Well, we still have some major constitutional issues
that are unresolved. Look at the Second Amendment. Now, we've
got a situation in Florida where eighteen to twenty year
olds still don't have Second Amendment rights. But we're seeing
building interest in fixing that here in the state of Florida.
Last legislative session, they didn't really get anything useful done.

(01:40:47):
They didn't kill our property taxes or give back gun
rights to these folks. This session, it looks like there's
growing pressure to do so. I saw edan power for
the Republican Party. He's posting essentially that the Republican Party's
platform is undoing Rick Scott's legislation and canceling red flag
laws and the ban on eighteen to twenty year olds

(01:41:07):
from owning firearms. So that's progress in my view. We're
making some headway there.

Speaker 5 (01:41:11):
Now.

Speaker 9 (01:41:12):
If we can get property taxes killed, that would be
a huge step in the right direction for Floridians.

Speaker 4 (01:41:17):
Yeah, it will, and and I know the battle that's
going on with tune that because there's one one fashion
that wants to give it to the property tax, the
other one doesn't, but the other one wants to give
it to the sales tax, and then the other one
wants both. And yeah, it's a mess. I mean, there
wasn't really a whole lot that came out of that
last session, and hopefully the next time around we'll see

(01:41:38):
a little bit better taken care of here in the
state of Florida. Anything else that's catching your attention here
in Florida.

Speaker 9 (01:41:47):
Well, the governor has been on the right track for
these things for a while. And as you pointed out,
there are different different factions within the Republican Party. You've
got some establishment types that want to do crazy things
like cancel sales tax. That doesn't make any sense. Of course,
as a tourist economy, we should be canceling property tax
and letting tourists help pay our bills via a higher
sales tax to offset the loss of property tax income

(01:42:08):
for these municipalities. That's really one of the biggest things
that we have going on in our state right now,
because thankfully Florida works pretty well. There's always going to
be a lot of people pushing in different directions in
any state, but for the most part, Florida's moving in
the right direction.

Speaker 4 (01:42:25):
Yeah, that it is. And of course next year is
the next gouvenatorial campaign. You following that.

Speaker 8 (01:42:31):
Any I am?

Speaker 9 (01:42:33):
It looks like no one's really declared other than Byron
Donald's right now, who obviously has President Trump's endorsement and
is the presumptive next governor of the state. There's been
rumblings about other people running, and now Jay Collins says
he's running, but when you look at the polling, I mean,
he's not even a blip on the radar.

Speaker 4 (01:42:52):
Yeah, there's a lot of people that just don't know
who he is at this point. And we were talking
about this with the Voice from America and View last
Friday about all the other potential names that are jumping
in there, and it's going to be interesting. But then
there's also David Jolly, who's over on the Democrats side.
And you know, this is one of these things where

(01:43:13):
we've mentioned this many times that you know, even though
the republic Party has a two million vote lead here
in the state of Florida, you have somebody like David Jolly, who,
you know, he could probably bring right down the middle
of the road, and being a Democrat, they're going to
vote for him just by default, but he could be
somebody that could actually bring a lot of people over
from the right who might be kind of fed up

(01:43:34):
with a lot of the Republican politics. And just your
thought about the division in the Republican politics and if
that's going to be a bad thing for the party
and maybe even give David Jolly a win.

Speaker 9 (01:43:47):
Ultimately, I think the division in the Republican Party is
a terrible thing for the future of Florida because what
nobody talks about. They talk about the number of Democrats
and Republicans that are registered voters, and they point out
that there's a lot more regis Republicans and Democrats, but
they don't point out the massive number of non party
affiliated voters, independents that's one third of the voters. It's

(01:44:09):
just half of them vote with Democrats. We get a Democrat.

Speaker 8 (01:44:12):
Governor if just half of them go that way, And.

Speaker 9 (01:44:16):
You start to look at divisive things within the party,
and you can understand why so many people in our
state get disenfranchised and they register as NPA voters because
they see that the Republican Party often.

Speaker 8 (01:44:27):
Intervenes in primaries and.

Speaker 9 (01:44:29):
Doesn't do what they've said they were going to do.
We've got a supermajority in the Florida House and Senate,
and we're still not getting the things that the people
want passed. Governor Destantus is even up there saying the
right things, encouraging the legislature at the state level to
act and do the right things like cancel property taxes.
But the legislature has their own agenda, often paid for

(01:44:50):
by a big money and lobbyists. So if we want
to make sure we get a Republican governor and all
Republicans statewide officials, the Republican Party needs to do a
good job of bringing those NPA votes back into the fold,
making them feel welcome, and honoring the promises that are made.

Speaker 4 (01:45:05):
Yeah, somebody's chimed in the chat. Republicans are policy smart,
strategy stupid. That is that is probably the best description
I think I've seen in a long time of what
the Republican Party does. Their strategy is just never, never,
very good. No.

Speaker 9 (01:45:22):
Yeah, we can't take for granted the fact that we
almost had a Governor Gillam. Thank god we didn't have
to live through COVID with a Governor Gillam, and this
place would have been like New York or Illinois, locked
down like crazy people.

Speaker 4 (01:45:33):
But just think about them.

Speaker 8 (01:45:34):
We heartily got a fantas.

Speaker 4 (01:45:35):
The parties would have been off the hook with they
They would have probably invaded our house and arrested us
if we had more than two people over. Oh yeah,
but I mean there's the other parties that he liked
to do, so I mean, I'm just saying that he
was definitely wild. Yeah, but we we definitely missed that
bullet by just a slim margin. But got to be
careful here in the state of Florida, otherwise we're going

(01:45:57):
to be in trouble. Anything else on the national level
that you're you're watching that we should be paying attention to.

Speaker 9 (01:46:03):
Well, there's always legislation going on in Congress that needs
to pass right now.

Speaker 8 (01:46:08):
It is Obviously the budget.

Speaker 9 (01:46:09):
We need to ensure that we get a budget passed
and that it has real cuts because we're over thirty
seven trillion dollars in debt right now. We're in a
situation where our grandkids aren't going to be able to
pay off this debt if things don't turn around. We've
got a situation where foreign trade deals still haven't been
completely redone. President Trump's doing all he can via tariffs,
but Congress needs to step up and start helping.

Speaker 4 (01:46:32):
Yeah, yeah, you're right, Keith Gross. The book that he's
got is called Dirt Roads to Runways, Defending the American
Dream for the Next Generation. We got some things that
we have to talk about, and I'll give you a
call later because yeah, totally separate things that I just
throw that at you. I got to give you a
call to talk about.

Speaker 8 (01:46:50):
What I'm looking forward to, Brian.

Speaker 4 (01:46:51):
It's always it's always a fun conversation when you're talking
to me off the radio. For those that know, they know.
But Keith, thanks so much for coming on. We'll chat
with you again really soon and I'll reach out to
you shortly as well.

Speaker 8 (01:47:05):
Sounds good, all, Thanks for coming on.

Speaker 4 (01:47:07):
We appreciate it. Keith Gross again. The book is called
Dirt Roads to Runways, Defending the America Dream for the
Next Generation. And and he's also a local attorney, so
he's been paying attention a lot of us, a lot
of just craziness is going on in the world. It
really truly is. By the way, the budget, this is

(01:47:27):
going to be one of the other things to be
watching for. We got a week and a half before
Congress gets back into session. When they get into session,
it's going to obviously be one of their priorities. Even
though it's not gonna be a budget. It'll be a
spending deal, is what they call it in DC now.
And then there's a lot of other things that they
need to jump on and we'll we'll we'll see what

(01:47:49):
what goes down to that. But one of the other
things that is now developing a little bit more, and
I probably should have asked Keith about this one too,
because you know, being a lawyer, and the Department of
Justice getting on this, and this is the the latest
thing with the autopen pardons. There is now some new
evidence that is coming out that the DOJ is exposing
the essentially black and white evidence that the Biden administration

(01:48:10):
knew that the autopen pardons were legally flawed. Now this
has probably gone several people at this point feeling a
little uncomfortable, feeling a little looking over their shoulder, see
what's going to happen next. The Oversight Project, which obtained
some damning internal emails this week from the Justice Department,
is now revealing that the high level understanding in the

(01:48:32):
Biden administration that the autopen communications issued on January seventeenth
in the former president's name were legally flawed. In addition
to showcasing some of the former Associate Deputy Director our
Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weisheimer's legal concerns, the email provided

(01:48:54):
by US Pardon Attorney Ed Martin's office revealed that the
Biden administration of apparently misled the nation about the violent
criminal nature of the individuals who received the pardons. Mike Howell,
who's the president of the Oversight Project, told a few
news work outlets that this represents the first written, black

(01:49:17):
and white evidence of fundamental disagreement in the Biden camp
as far as it relies to the pardon strategy at large,
And he said obviously that this particularly towards the warrants
for the communion of community as the words not coming.

(01:49:37):
I'm seeing this is what happens. I haven't talked about
Biden a long time, and now I start talking about Biden,
and I'm like, you know, it's with the thing, the stuff,
it's just anyway. But basically they're saying that all these
people that had been pardoned by Biden, especially the ones
at January seventeenth, should never have been let out of

(01:49:57):
jail and the auto pen which more investigation needs to
go into this to find out really truly what was
going on. But we now finally have some evidence which
is being released because they're asking for the Information Freedom
Information Act, where they're getting in there and asking for
this information. And we're seeing now that it was more

(01:50:19):
rigged than we thought and that there was not legally done.
And I'm sure at this point, people like Hunter Biden,
like Adam Schiff because they're going after Adam hardcore, Liz
Cheney and a few others are probably shaken in their
boots a little bit as to what's going to be
the next thing that is going down. Some other people

(01:50:41):
that are probably a little concerned about what's going on
in their world and that is Venezuela. Now you might
remember this not too long ago. It was what about
two weeks ago where the Trump administration had made the
announcement of a fifty million dollar reward for information leading
to the arrest of Venezuela's president, Nicholas Maduro. And it's

(01:51:05):
been about two weeks since that has happened. And something
that's not being talked about too much, but it is happening.
The United States Navy has now deployed three destroyers and
approximately four thousand sailors off the waters of Venezuela, now
adding to a little bit more of the pressure for
the president, Nicholas Mandua, who we want him, We want

(01:51:28):
him in custody. And according to some US officials, there's
the Arly Burke class guided missile destroyers, US Gravely, USS
John Dunham, and the USS Sampson have all been dispatched
to just off the coast of Venezuela. So it's going
to be interesting to see what Donald Trump has got

(01:51:48):
in mind and in plan here and some of the
other officials are also telling Reuters that in addition to
the destroyers, the broader mission will include several p reconnaissance aircraft.
In addition to that, there's some other naval warships and
at least one fast attack submarine that has also been

(01:52:10):
deployed as part of this. There's obviously the Navy sailors
that have deployed, but marines as well have been deployed
to be just off the coast of Venezuela. Now, Venezuela
one of these countries that was not too long ago,
like in very recent time, a very successful capitalist country.

(01:52:34):
The people were doing fine, everything was great until they
went socialist. They went socialist and the country has completely
gone to hell. And obviously Venezuela is one of the
areas that we are dealing with a great deal of
their illegal aliens that have come up here. They're gang
members that have come up here. And it's looking like
Donald Trump is at a point now where he's done

(01:52:55):
playing and considering how Donald Trump has been acting with
everything else. If I was Nicholas Maduro right now, I
would probably be looking out and reaching out to some
countries that do not have extradition policies with America and
saying you mind if I come hang out for a while,
because it looks like that might be the next place

(01:53:15):
that we go take a visit to as we're already
launching an operation to basically combat the threat of these
drug cartels. And then there's the Mexican cartels, the ones
that Donald Trump has also said, look, you keep it up,
We're coming in after you. The President of Mexico standing
up and saying now, he can't come in here, and

(01:53:37):
Donald Trump's saying, sit down on yes we will. Donald
Trump obviously has on his cross ears. And remember, we
got three and a half years left. It's hard to
imagine that we are only six months, seven months into
the Donald Trump presidency with all the stuff that Donald
Trump has gotten accomplished. This is stuff that most presidents

(01:53:59):
don't get accomplished in an entire four year time period.
And we've got three and a half years left of
Donald Trump. Just think about how different the world is
going to be in three and a half years from
now if Donald Trump continues to be on this path
that he is on of cleaning up the problems that

(01:54:20):
ironically have all been created by the left. Just saying,
all right, coming up after the break, Jared Jared Jared
Nott is going to be joining us on this show.
Tell you I start talking about Biden stuff and I
lose it. You know, it's the the you know, the

(01:54:41):
guy with the stuff and the words of talking and
on the radio and on it and never mind. Anyhow,
Jared's going to be joining us coming up after their break.
We got to take a quick break. Don't forget. You
can follow us on Rumble Wimken dot com. Watch the
show there, follow us on Facebook as well, just look
for the brid Us Show, and of course right here

(01:55:02):
on the Florida Man Radio Network. Hang on, we got
to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

Speaker 6 (01:55:13):
They say he's got good jeans. I'm just glad he's
wearing hats. This is the Brian Rusk Show.

Speaker 4 (01:55:20):
All right, welcome back to the show. Thanks so much
for wake get up with us today, tuning to get
stand across Florida and around the world. Want to welcome
back to the show. Great conversation. Last time we had
him Jared Nott. He is the author of a new book.
It's actually book number two, right, Jared is Tiny Blunders,
Big Disasters, Book number two. Jared, how are you?

Speaker 5 (01:55:41):
You're fine to it? Fin It's I want to be back.

Speaker 4 (01:55:43):
Absolutely glad to have you on because we had last
time we were on, we had a great conversation in your
new book, by the way, it is available as starting
next week, The Many The fold title is The Tiny Blunders,
Big Mistakes Book number two, The Many Tiny Mistakes That
Changed the World forever. And it's amazing when you really
start to think about those little, tiny things that have

(01:56:04):
happened that have made an impact. And we were just
having a great conversation off the air about obviously one
of the things that's going to make a huge impact
on the world right now, and that being the situation
with the peace deal hopefully between Russia and Ukraine. What
are some of your thoughts on this process of what's
going on.

Speaker 5 (01:56:25):
I think mister Putin, Vladimir, if I may use his
first name, believe that he can win a war of
attrition with Ukraine. He's of course a bigger country. He
has more men to turn into the meat crying during
ground up, so he still believes he can win. And
if he just holds out and holds out, keeps grinding

(01:56:46):
away and grinding away and get more and more, maybe
eventually gets to all of Ukraine. And as we were
saying before on air, here a human life means nothing
to him. It is no exaggeration to say that he
is a psychopath. He has some things in common I
guess the Minister with the Colberger, and certainly a lot
of things in common with Stalin. It is the conquering

(01:57:10):
and winning and being a triumphal hero in his mind
is what means something to him. Human life means nothing,
and the pain and suffering of his people means nothing.
The only thing that's going to work is if he
is forced, either militarily or economically forced to sign an
agreement and then forced to observe that agreement. Nothing else

(01:57:31):
means anything else. There's no human heart, there's no empathy
with the families, there's no you. We're dealing with a cold,
calculating murdering individuals with hands or soaked in blood. He
needs to be melodramatic about it, and he had to
find some way of pressuring against his will, forcing him
into the piece agreement. Nothing else works.

Speaker 4 (01:57:50):
Yeah, you're right. I mean the best way of describing
him is he is an absolute psycho with the way
that he is. And I mean, sure we're seeing what
a pee on the surface, things like he's he's willing
to negotiate the fact that he's willing to show up
to Alaska to talk with Donald Trump, and the fact
that Donald Trump can now pick up the phone and
call him, and it kind of seems almost like wow,

(01:58:13):
is Vladimir is Putin actually kind of getting to a
point where, you know, is he kind of caving? I mean,
what is it really going to take to get him
to change? Because obviously he doesn't care about life. I
mean he's a KGB guy. And you know, you made
the comparison of him being like Stalin, if not worse.
What do you think it's going to take for him
to do it? In the full length?

Speaker 5 (01:58:36):
Yes, he plays the public relations game. He enjoys the
public relations game. Comes to Alaska. He talks about the
United States and Russia being so close, just a few
miles apart, so and so forth, like that does all
the pr things? Willing to be here, when to talk here?
Run after he has a meeting?

Speaker 8 (01:58:53):
He does.

Speaker 5 (01:58:53):
In fact, he bombs the Ukraine and kills dozens of
civilians right after the meeting here in Alaska. They sit
in a missile attack and a drawn attack against against
the Ukraine. He's showing no signs to whatsoever of moving
genuinely towards peace. It's just all a big p argument. More.
We talk at one side of his mouth, and you

(01:59:14):
may a short time later on the other side of
his promount the orders attacks on civilians, and of course
the people there in the White House and their advisors,
they know.

Speaker 8 (01:59:23):
All of this.

Speaker 5 (01:59:23):
They're very much where he's running it more and more,
and so the question is what kind of ultimate pressure
can be brought against him that he might respond to.
Of course, they've already done a lot with the Indians
and not buying his patroleum anymore. I don't know the
details there, but they apparently have pulled back as a customer.
Europe has pulled back as a customer he has. I

(01:59:44):
guess China that is still buying his petroleum products, and
maybe that's the only country left. This commony is being devastated.
But that means nothing to him. So it's a question
of can they put enough military pressure and economic pressure
on these finally forced into an agreement. And again, human

(02:00:04):
lives means nothing. The only thing is that it means
is can I win or can I lose? If he's
put in a position where he's still going to lose,
then he might finally come to the table and sign
something and then finally observe it being forced into it.

Speaker 4 (02:00:19):
Yeah, we'll see what happens, because he's he's definitely demonstrated
that he he doesn't care about anything. He just wants
to wants to do what he's doing. And I mean,
I don't I don't know if you saw the interview
that he did with Tucker Carlson, where you know, he
started off the interview and rather than answering the question,
he broke down and he's like, let me give you
the history, and basically in a nutshell he was like,

(02:00:40):
that's ours and I want it back. Is essentially what
he said, you know, giving you the long It was
like a fifteen minute explanation of the history of Ukraine,
which was intriguing for me being a history person and
loving the history. But at the same time, you know,
you can definitely tell that he was not willing to
give in on anything. And and I guess the question

(02:01:01):
that that some of us that want to know is
you know, how far away is putin from really an
economic collapse, because that will that will really ruin you know,
the the economy and and and the support that he
gets from people, how close is Russia to that point.

Speaker 5 (02:01:19):
Well, he has his desk squads. There were the oligarchs
that were in Russia that had some influence seemingly on
the decision making. He has desk squads go around and
murder a number of them. It was a kind of
a comical, dark comedy kind of work. Uh, definistration, definistration, definistration,

(02:01:41):
which means being thrown out of a window. When he
had a couple of the oligarchs when I'm in I
think a hospital of the sixth floor that quote unquote
committed suicide, but jumping out of a wind. Of course,
he's thrown out of the window. He had one oligarch
that was in Washington, d C. An expensive high rise,
and it was squad's murdering him there right in Washington,

(02:02:02):
d C. And so any kind of pressure opposition he
feels from the people around him, he'll have his desk
squads go murder them. So he has no constituency that
he has to answer to is kill them all. And
there's there are some people supposedly that have some influence
on him besides Russia, but it means nothing to him.
Economy collapsing doesn't really mean anything to him personally. Is

(02:02:22):
he going to win in his own mind or lose?
That's all that matters. Like he's playing a board game,
and the just plastic men, they get thrown into the
box if they get eliminated. So he's gonna have to
be beaten and he's gonna have to be beaten down.
And I don't know whether economic pressure is going to
be enough. Maybe some combination of military losses on the
battlefield and economic pressure can force him to finally be moved.

(02:02:46):
But of course the Trump administration, I think, knows all
this and would have to see if they're going to
be able to pull it off. I would have to see.

Speaker 4 (02:02:55):
Yeah, well, well to see on that. And like you
kind of pointed out, it seems like a lot of
the people that have been his customers are backing away
from him, which is a financial hit to Russia. And
China seems to be like the one and only ally
that Russia really truly seems to have. What role do
you think that the US could play with taking China

(02:03:19):
out of that equation and getting them to maybe stop
playing along with Russia And how much damage would that
do to Russia?

Speaker 5 (02:03:27):
Yes, of course it's very complex. China is not benefiting
from the tariffs. Their economy is being harmed also. But
in that calculus, how much they can get out of
China in terms of not being a customer of Russia anymore,
I don't know. That would be something They're obviously thinking
about it very carefully, and maybe if that would be

(02:03:50):
kind of the last. Of course, you can count North
Korea in a small way, but that final leg from
China has pulled out from underneath the Russia. I don't
guess they have any customers left to speak up with
China willing to participate with the United States in the
part of the negotiations would be to put them to
remove their support from Russia. How much can be accomplish

(02:04:11):
in that area, I don't know. It is very very
complex that nobody else could possibly even be thinking about
that kind of a program. Can you imagine, see me
for getting political If poor Joe Biden where the White House,
he's just wondering where the bathroom is, he would have
no idea of how to handle something like this. Also,
Kamala Harrison, who I don't think has truly the intellect

(02:04:33):
to be President of the United States, I don't know
she's even qualified to be a governor. She's been way
over her head. We're lucky that we have Donald Trump
in the White House, who's already ended seven mores in
the United States across the world. That's just absolutely amazing
because you saw they had seventy thousand Buddhist monks in
their red rogues coming out and nominating him for the

(02:04:55):
President Trump for that Nobel Peace Prize, but for ending
the war between Thailand and Cambodia. Well, I mean, how
fabuous is that. I think the news media, that's beautiful optical,
you know the photo op here, here's all these beautiful
red rogues and there's seventy talents and Buddhist priests coming
forward nominated press the United States for the Nobel Peace Prize.

(02:05:18):
I mean, how dramatic is that? But nickle Almo was
no coverage. But he's made a remarkable things. Seven wars
in seven months and it's terrific and the most of
the last one is the toughest, not of all. We'll
see if they can if they can pull it off.

Speaker 4 (02:05:32):
Yeah, and you know, the biggest surprise, I mean, the
monk thing was I think it was a surprise, but
the Hillary Clinton comment, whether it was whether it was
offhanded or intentionally meant where she said, if Donald Trump
can actually become gain the peace deal with Ukraine and Russia,
I'll nominate him for the That's when you know things
are just not going in the way of the left

(02:05:55):
and Donald Trump is becoming rather successful when you get
Hillary Clinton to say that type of stuff. But one
of the deals that has been talked about with all
of the European leaders in Ukraine is going to be
like security going on later on when this conflict is
over or in the meantime. What are some of your

(02:06:16):
thoughts on the European involvement or even the US's involvement
with even a potential base or something in Ukraine for
the security measures, because that's obviously something that's been on
the mind of the Europeans and the Ukrainians.

Speaker 8 (02:06:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:06:31):
So, I think the latest feedback from Moscow is that
they're not willing to agree having a security force, a
NATO white force in Ukraine. Well, a thought that comes
to mind, why are they opposed to such a force
because they don't plan on observing the treaty anyway, and
they had the British, German French whatever it is, the
forces there and they try to incurb make an encouragement

(02:06:54):
in the Ukraine. They have a war with Great Britain
and the Ukrainian nations, and that certainly they can't accept it.
They don't want the forgers there because they plan the
body the treaty anyway, So that's kind of what comes
to mind. That would mean that to actually have to
observe the treaty. They don't plan observe the treaty. That's
why they're opposed to it, which is just a very
very negative signal as to the prospects of truth piece.

(02:07:15):
I'm sorry to say.

Speaker 4 (02:07:16):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's going to be a wild ride.
To say the least. Time frame. Do you think that
there's a legitimate time frame to look at for a
deal to come about.

Speaker 5 (02:07:29):
I think it goes back again we talked about the
importance is just the basic fundamentals of the situation. You
have a psychopath, as you mentioned, in charge, and the
Trump administration, i would think, is looking for ways that
they can increase the pressure. That's the economic pressure, the
financial pressure, and the military pressure. More weapons, more advanced

(02:07:50):
weapons being provided to the Ukrainians, more a pressure from
customers withdrawing their business, and that combination of that too,
we hope is going to move the needle, and it
will it move the needle, or that maybe Vladimir does
in mind of the entire economy burns to the ground.
It's it's a frustrating thing. You don't have a reasonable

(02:08:10):
person with reasonable values and priorities. On the other side.
You had somebody who wants to win it didn't care
what the price is. And that's that's the major challenge.
And if anybody can do it, it's President Trump. And
I don't know what's going to happen. I'm not sure.
I'm optimistic. I don't know what's the outcome. It is
going to be. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:08:30):
I mean, with everything that that Donald Trump has been
able to accomplish so far, he's broken the mold of
it takes forever with government. You know, he's accomplished so
many things in so many fast times. And you know,
this is the one thing that the left loves to
give him a hard time about because you know, Donald
Trump famously said, you know, I'll have that war ended
before I'm even sworn into office. And you know, we're

(02:08:51):
seven months in now, and it quite hasn't quite happened yet.
It looks like it's going to be a little bit
more difficult than even Donald Trump originally thought.

Speaker 5 (02:09:00):
Yes, his credit, of course, seven wars in seven wars
across this last by part of the most difficult. Yeah,
it's very so difficult as it maybe can even be done.
If anybody can do it, he can, and maybe nobody
can do it because of who we're dealing with.

Speaker 4 (02:09:17):
So yeah, we are, ye here we are. Jared not
a historian and author. The book is called Tiny Blunders,
Big Disasters, Book two. It's the second in this series,
the many Tiny Mistakes that changed the world forever. Jared,
what is the book all about?

Speaker 5 (02:09:33):
Yes, it's amazing. People ask me that. Excuse me what
they gave me the idea of writing the book in
the first place. It was the uttle saying, come down
to Bijamin Franklin for one of the nail. The shoe
was lost for one of the nail. The writer was lost,
one of the writer. The battle was lost, one of
the battle. The empire was lost. The empire was lost,

(02:09:54):
all for the want of the nail. Well that's a
nice little saying, but how often is that really happened
in a single tiny mistake causes an empire to collapse.
You'll be amazed how often it happens over and over
and over again. And we have a long list of
examples in the Book of Tiny Little Mistakes. They had huge,
huge consequences and times the mistake was made. He will

(02:10:14):
weren't even realize they're making a mistake, and then a month,
six months, or a few minutes later you have this
huge disaster.

Speaker 4 (02:10:22):
Kind of like voting for Joe Biden and what happens
tiny mistake in the way that it changed the world.
And of course this is the second book. The first
book is already out. This book comes out next week.
How could people get the book?

Speaker 5 (02:10:35):
Yes, you go to Tiny Blunders, Big Disasters dot com.
Tiny Blunders, Big Disasters dot com. It's a fun website.
We have three book trailers there. We have a John
Wayne trailer and also an Elon Musk trader, and then
we also have another trader and that's a lot of fun.
Plus we have two freak chapters and it's fun to read,
and they can people can visit there and then if

(02:10:58):
they like what they see, they can of course place
in order. All right with that I wouldn't mind.

Speaker 4 (02:11:02):
Yeah, yeah, excellent, Jared Not always love chatting with your
great historic viewpoints of a lot of this. Again. The
book is available next week, Tiny Blunders, Big Disasters. It's
the second book that you've got. The other one's already
out obviously, Definitely go grab that book, and I'm sure
I'm going to be grabbing my copy next week as well.
Give me something to do next weekend. Jared. As always,

(02:11:24):
thank you so much for coming on. I do appreciate
and we'll talk with you again real soon.

Speaker 5 (02:11:28):
Thank you very much, thanks for having me.

Speaker 4 (02:11:29):
Please enjoy it absolutely anytime, Jared Not again. The book
is called Tiny Blunders, Big Disasters. It's booked number two
for him, the Many Tiny Mistakes that Change the World Forever.
Available next week in bookstores and everywhere that you order books.
So go check that out. And it is going to
be interesting to see what happens with this deal. And

(02:11:50):
like Jared was saying, you know, you have Vladimir Putin,
which there's been so many optics that have looked fantastic.
You know, one of the optics that that we did see,
which I mean it may have shook him just a
tad a very tiny tad, not a lot because he
is a Psychoh he's not somebody that that we're very

(02:12:14):
gonna be very easily just saying okay, well don't do
this and don't do that, and let's sign the piece
deal and be done with it. It's it's gonna be
a lot that is going on and to get this
man to to cave into what we need him to do.
And this is the thing too that everybody on both
sides need to understand, is that when the peace deal

(02:12:35):
or cease fire of what, when he whatever might we
want to call it, actually happens, something's gonna have to
be given. And with the psycho level of Vladimir Putin
and the fact that you know, again going back to
the uh, the interview that he had with with the
Tucker Carlson, the the interview that everybody threw their fit about.

(02:12:59):
Tucker Carlson came out and asked him his first question,
and he didn't answer that question. He said, first off,
let me start with this, and gave a fifteen minute
history lesson of Ukraine and Russia and how they're part
of each other. That historically Ukraine was part of Mother Russia.
So Putin's idea is he wants the Motherland back together.

(02:13:24):
You know, he is not a good person, to say
the least, and you know what he's going to have
to give up, and then what we're gonna have to
do for security measures is going to be the next one.
And to see what kind of a deal they come
up with is going to be very interesting. And obviously
Donald Trump's working on it. A lot more difficult than
I think probably anybody including him, anticipated it to be.

(02:13:49):
But we'll see. But there are going to be some
things that people are going to have to give up
in order for this to happen. So it's a deal
that we're gonna have to watch. We got to take
a break. We'll be right back just a minute. Don't forget.
You can follow the show at the Brian Russhow dot com.
Also follow us at Florida Radioman dot com as well.
Hang on, we will be right.

Speaker 7 (02:14:08):
Back, making liberals cry, one happy show at a time.

Speaker 6 (02:14:22):
This is the Brian Rust Show.

Speaker 4 (02:14:25):
All right, welcome back to the show. You know what,
just looking at the Gulf of America, Cam, oh, Tammy,
You are so right. It is so inviting looking the
the golf, right now looks so incredibly calm. The beach
looks beautiful, and you know what, here's the thing, and
if you're watching the show on Rumble or Wimken, you'll
see the beachcam that we have. We throw that up

(02:14:47):
during the commercial break and you can't really see how
beautiful the beach really truly is in that camera. Because
for those of who've never been to the beaches here
in Panama City Beach where we are located the show
broadcasts from, they're gorgeous. It's like white sand. As a

(02:15:09):
matter of fact, when we had snow back in whenever
that where it was that we had so was it
February we had snow, whenever it was. There were so
many people that were showing these pictures of the beach.
They're like, oh my god, look it snowed. And I'm like,
it did. Oh yeah, you're right, it did snow. Because
the sand on the beaches of Panama City Beach, you know,
Panama City Beach Destin are just like this. The snow

(02:15:33):
white like very fine sand, and it is just it's
so gorgeous. I mean, it's bright though, because it's that reflective.
But the golf today it does look beautiful, which is
another thing. Can I hit on this real quickly? The golf.
I've been watching some of the libtards get out there
on social media try and slam on about how you know,

(02:15:54):
the the mag of people with Gulf of America and
it's it's really the golf code or not the Golf coast.
It's the Gulf of Mexico. It's not Golf of America,
and blah blah blah blah blah, and and just trying
to like slam on us. And I'm like, first off,
I've lived on the Gulf Coast now for twenty five years,
and in the twenty five years, I don't recall most

(02:16:16):
people going, oh, it's the Golf of Mexico. It's Golf
of Mexico. No, we simply referred to it as the golf.
I mean the fact that it's now the Gulf of
America and the official American recognition of it, even Florida's
recognition of it, it's Golf of America, it still doesn't
change the fact that we all still call it the golf.

(02:16:41):
It's all there is the golf. Sarasota is your favorite
Panama City beach is second? You know, what. I haven't
been down to Sarasota. I should do that, should go
down there and check it out. But yeah, Panama City
Beach's beaches are they really are beautiful that and the
beach is over in in destined and even like Mexico Beach,

(02:17:03):
it's it's gorgeous there too. I mean it's it's so pretty.
It's so much better. Or like the Yankees say, the ocean. Yeah,
I hate it when somebody says the ocean when referred
to the golf. I mean, it is big, but it's
not an ocean. It's just just the golf anyhow big.
Thanks to to to Keith growth be coming on talking
to this a little bit. Also, Jared not his new book,

(02:17:24):
Tiny Blunders, Big Disasters, Book number two, available next week.
