I seen that, oh this is available, I can put

So let's go ahead and get into it now. Y'alls
know how I like to start the show. Let me
get rid of those tabs right there. So y'alls know
how I like to start the show. I like to
throw in a little bit of satire, a little bit
of humor, a little bit of ha ha in my
(04:16):
go to source for satire news is the Babylonbee because
it is satire with a purpose. So let's start off
with this headline, crime is down in DC, shouts A
journalists currently being pummeled by group of thugs, and this
(04:38):
article continues this as Washington, DC, shocking dozens of viewers.
A CNN journalist was nearly beaten to death by a
group of thugs during a live broadcast while reporting the
crime is down in DC. And I had to laugh
about this. I really did. I mean, I definitely had
to laugh about this. And this is actually as far
(05:00):
as I made it into, you know, into this article,
but I had to laugh about it because the obsced.
You know, yes, this is satire. It's very much satire,
satire news. Know this did not happen. However, isn't this
what we see journalists do that are you know, in
(05:22):
the you know, in your main legacy media, legacy news sources.
Isn't this what they do? I mean, isn't this what
happened during the Summer of Love? You know, we're we're
journalists were out there on location telling us that, oh,
this is a mostly peaceful protest. Why you literally have
(05:44):
a dumpster fire going on behind them, and buildings on
fire and other stuff of that nature. It's like, dude,
I mean, you're telling us one thing, but if we
open our eyes and look at what's going on behind you,
this doesn't look like a peaceful protons to me, you
know what I'm saying. So, I mean, yes, this is satire,
(06:06):
but this is how the mainstream media operates. It very
much does. Now, of course, this has to do with
what the you know, the main first topic we're going
to be talking about today is about, and that is
about Big Balls getting thoroughly beaten. And I believe this
(06:26):
happened not this past Sunday, but the Sunday before that.
This has kind of been, you know, all over going on.
And this first article that I'm wanting to talk about,
you know, besides the you know, the the Babylon b
article is from Blaize media headline Trump threatens takeover of
(06:50):
DC after DOJ's Big Balls was savagely assaulted while defending
a young woman. So let me go ahead and let's
let's let's talk about, well what actually happened. Okay, So
he was walking to his car, him and his girlfriend
and they noticed there was a small group of thugs,
(07:12):
young teenagers that were trying to carjack a woman. And Edward,
which I'm just going to call him big Balls because
he is the you know, the former Doge employee that
had the gamer tag or just the online tag of
big Balls, you know, and that was in the news
a while back ago making fun of him. Is then,
(07:32):
how can we take this guy seriously whenever he has
the handle of big Balls, making fun of it, right,
not wanting to talk about the work that he was doing,
and you know how successful that, you know, not just
big Balls Elon Musk, but the entirety of the Doge
team was successful in you know, locating a lot of waste,
(07:56):
fraud and abuse that was going on in Washington, d C.
They didn't want to talk about that. They just wanted
to make fun of the name, kind of fitting. That's
what they like to do. Let's let's attack instead of
focusing on what the actual you know, what the actual
story is. Let's let's redirect it. We can't let people
(08:17):
know what's actually going on. We're going to put our
own spin on it and talk about what we want
to talk about. That's what the mainstream media does, right,
that's what they do. But he put his girlfriend in
the car and went to try to stop the carjacking.
In the process, he got badly beaten. I think he
(08:41):
had a concussion even I'm not exactly sure what all
I mean it was. It was a savage beating. It
was pretty bad. And that's what all this of what
we're want to talk about in this first part of
the show stems from. Is this beating that Big Ball
suffered by trying to defend somebody whom was getting carjacked.
(09:05):
Now that's the facts of the case right there. That's it,
all right, That's what happened. That's what's going on. And
after this happened, that's whenever Trump came out and said that, hey,
you know, we're going to nationalize, federalize the DC Police
(09:27):
Department because crime is out of control in DC. It's ridiculous,
it's horrible, it's bad. Everybody knows it, but nobody really
wants to do anything about it. And there's a lot
of gas lightingness going on. You know a lot of gaslighting.
You know a lot of people, you know in Congress,
(09:47):
people that are you know, of the city government. You
know a lot of different people that are like, oh, dude,
I mean, this crime isn't that bad in DC. I
mean they just reported not that long ago, that you
know crime. Is it like a down thirty two percent
or whatever. It's like an all time low. Crime? Is
(10:08):
not that bad. But I mean, isn't that what they do?
I mean, isn't that what democrats do? Exactly right? They gaslight,
they cook the books, they adjust the numbers, you know,
instead of reporting what the crime actually was or charging
the criminal for what the crime actually was. Is what
(10:29):
they've been doing. And this is the game that they've
been playing. The DC police under orders saying hey, you're
going to not charge them with this, even though that's
the crime he committed. We're going to do a felony
assault charge instead, or something along those natures. And of
which case, federal or felony assault charges. They don't get
(10:53):
reported publicly, so they're able to cook the books, less crimes,
the charges, to make it look like things are actually
better than what they truly are. That's the game they've
been playing, and in all honesty, we shouldn't be surprised
about this either. I mean, if you live in a
(11:13):
bigger city, in or around a bigger city. Then you're
kind of used to this kind of thing, right. I
mean I remember whenever they were talking about crime statistics
and crime numbers and whatnot, you know, talking about, you
know how during the COVIDS, the oh crime went down this,
that and the other, and it's like, no, they didn't,
(11:35):
because what we've seen happen instead of actual crime getting reported,
they played the game or they just didn't report the crime.
Like most major big city, you know, most major big
cities stopped reporting crime to the FBI. You know, after
(11:57):
they changed how they did everything. They were like, oh,
well this is too hard. We're just not going to
report crime to the FBI anymore. And then they use
those numbers to say, hey, look see crime's going down
way way big win. This is great, right, Well, no
it wasn't because if you use a little bit of
common sense, if you live in these areas, especially whenever
(12:18):
you have catching the release of criminals, you know, they
you're doing good to get a cup to process a criminal,
and then they have to cut them loose back out
on the streets and allow them to do whatever it
is that they did. Again, I mean, is this really
a bonus? Is it really a positive? Thing. But that's
(12:45):
the game they've been playing. That's the game that they've
been playing for quite some time. And everybody in news media,
everybody at these legacy news media locations, a lot of
city officials, a lot of people in Congress. You know,
(13:05):
they're all kind of saying the same thing. They all
have their their talking points and they're running with it.
That's what we were seeing right after the fact. This
headline or this article from Just the News, DC officials
respond to Trump's takeover of city police department manufactured intrusion.
(13:27):
They're basically saying that that the reasoning behind Trump federalizing
the police department is all made up. Crimes at all
time low, It's never been better in DC. But like
(13:51):
I said before, anybody who lives in DC knows that
that is a complete fabrica lie. Everybody knows it. Same
thing with most of these bigger cities out there. You know,
they're trying to tell you that it's safe, it's secure,
(14:12):
that you're fine, but it's not, and you know that
it is bad whenever something like this happens. This article
from the New York Sun, Washington, DC police union accuses
(14:40):
city of cooking the books with crime stats. I mean,
it's out there right. Everybody knows this. There's been whistleblowers
talking about it. Everybody knows it. You have the police
union that is actually backing in supporting Trump in this
(15:02):
endeavor to federalize DC police. It's like, finally we may
get some help. Finally we'll be able to get criminals
off the street and make our citizens safe. Finally, something
good is going to happen that we're no longer going
to be run and controlled by Democrats. Finally we're going
(15:26):
to have somebody that's willing to take charge and criminalize
crimes again, make criminals accountable for the crimes they commit. Finally,
I mean when you have somebody, a police union person
(15:49):
like stand up and applaud what a Republican is doing,
then you know that Democrats are totally losing the argument.
I mean, holy crap, how much clearer can you get
on this? They've been cooking the books, They've been caught,
(16:11):
you know, And here's the thing, It's like, I'm gonna,
can I be honest about something. On one hand, I'm
not surprised that this type of gaslighting would be going on.
I'm not surprised, not surprised at all, But at the
same time, I kind of am. I am, I mean,
(16:37):
I'm I'm actually kind of surprised about this. I mean,
it's one thing for you know, this kind of thing
to be going on in Chicago, to be going on
in LA to be going on in Seattle, Wash, to
name your big city. It's one thing for these this
type of thing to be going on there. But we're
talking DC. You know, these political these politicians, these congressmen,
(17:07):
that's where they live. You would think that they would
want their city to be safe and secure, that they
can live in their utopian city and actually have the
crime off the streets to where you could walk the
streets at night do whatever you wanted to and not
have to worry about getting attacked by criminals. I mean,
you would think in DC they would want it to
(17:30):
be the utopian that they are trying to build. But instead,
what we see in d C is just more of
the same of what a city looks like when democrats
are allowed to rule over. That's what we're seeing. So
(17:58):
on one head, yeah, I'm surprised. This is where they
go to work. You would think that they would want
their city to be safe, but yet what we get
is more of the same. And like I said, you know,
all these all these people have their talking points in hand.
(18:21):
And I seen this article from the Daily Caller, and
this is another aspect. This is something I seen and
I had to laugh about it. I totally had to laugh.
Headline from Daily Caller Tom Homan torches media for displaying
DC or I'm sorry for downplaying DC crime. He dares
(18:42):
the reporters to walk the streets at night exactly. I mean,
if all these reporters are going to say that Trump
is doing this for no reason whatsoever, it's a fabricated
lie that he is using as a basis to justify
his actions of taking control of the DC least. And fine,
(19:05):
take a go pro, take a camera, go out at
night and walk the streets. Do it. If everything is
so safe, If this thing is a fabricated lie, then
go out on the streets and welcome at night. Take
a camera, live stream it prove Trump to be wrong.
(19:27):
But you're not going to see it. You're never going
to see it. Why aren't you going to see it?
Because all these people know that they're lying their ass off.
They all know that crime is out of control. They
all know it, you know, I mean, I honestly wouldn't
(19:49):
be surprised if, in a matter of speaking, excuse me,
I wouldn't be surprised that if in a matter of speaking,
they don't have in essence, two books, well maybe I would,
you know, one book of the fabricated lie that says that, oh, yeah,
(20:11):
crime's going down and it's amazing, and that they don't
keep track of actual crimes, so they know. But at
the same time, I mean, you know, you have a
lot of people that truly do believe the Bravo Sierra
(20:31):
that's coming out of these people's mouths. They believe the lie.
I've said it before. You know, you really do have
to be careful as to where you get the information
(20:52):
that you consume. You got to be careful, you know,
you really do. You got to be careful. I've heard
it said. You know, if you don't watch the news,
you don't pay attention to what's going on, then you
are uninformed. If you do watch the news, and they
were referring to mainstream or not, you know, legacy news
(21:13):
and mainstream news that if you do pay attention to them,
then you are misinformed because they're lying to you just
like in this they are absolutely lying to you, and
(21:37):
I just don't. I just I don't get their reasoning,
especially in DC. Why would you want to do that?
Why would you want to trash the nation's capital, the
place where they spend quite a bit of time in.
You would think that they would want it to be
this utopian haven, right, But instead all you get is
(21:58):
what you see in most every single city across America,
run and controlled by Democrats and trashed. I don't get it,
I really don't. And after this this crackdown, this headline
(22:24):
from just the News, DC arrests clear one hundred after
Trump's Monday crackdown, this article came out on to do Today. Actually, wow, today,
isn't that awesome? So they've already been working on cleaning
(22:50):
up the problem and have already arrested over one hundred
people in this crackdown, and yet there's no problem whatsoever.
I've read something else that I know. Who was it
(23:13):
that that asked the question? Let me let me find it.
It's a it's not necessarily an article. It is a
a video that you can watch, and it is from
the recount. Benny Johnson asks Carolyn Levitt if Trump would
consider giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Big Balls.
(23:36):
And you know I had to laugh. I really did,
you know what? Okay, the story's tragic, it very much is.
It has a very serious undertone. Tragic undertone. It's bad, Okay,
it is. But I have heard over the course of
(23:59):
the last week, I have heard big Balls come out
of more people's mouths than what I ever thought I
would hear anybody say it. I was listened to the
events and they even have a song that they did
Big Balls in the song. I mean, and it's you
(24:23):
gotta laugh, right, I mean, you gotta laugh. It's so sad,
it's so ridiculous. It's so like what I mean, how
could anybody believe the words that are coming out of
your mouth? I mean, you gotta laugh. It's just ridiculous,
it really is. But the sad thing is what we're
seeing did happen, right, and it shouldn't happen. I mean,
(24:46):
this is so preventable. I mean, how much are you
willing to bet that the people that were involved in this,
those that assaulted Big Balls, how how much are you
willing to bet that this was a repeat offender. I mean,
it probably was probably somebody who's been arrested before, or
(25:08):
at least the cops knew about them, knew about these guys,
knew what they had been doing. They've got previous charges
or at least have been caught previous times, catching or released,
and we're put back on the street. I mean, if
you want to stop I mean, this is how This
is so basic, right, This is so elemental, This is
(25:28):
so clear as playing on the nose on as plain
as the nose on my face. This is so much
of a no brainer. I don't understand it. If you
want to, you know, at least lower crime, if you
want to stop crime, if you want to do that,
you've got to punish criminals. You've got to make the
(25:54):
punishment for getting caught severe enough that you're like, eh,
maybe I shouldn't do that, it's just not worth it.
But that's what you need to do. If you want
to stop criminals from committing crimes, you gotta punish the
criminals when they commit crimes. If you don't, are you're
(26:16):
going to get is more crime? Isn't that a no brainer?
It's a no brainer to me. I don't understand the
confusion about this. I really don't. And the mayor, I
(26:37):
believe the mayor of DC has even come out because
you got a lot of people, you know, a lot
of these you know, uh legacy newspeople, a lot of
these so called journalists are coming out and it's like, oh,
Trump can't do this, Trump can't do that. YadA yadah,
blah blah. It's an overreach, it's authoritarianism whatever. Dude, Even
(27:06):
the Mayor of DC came out and admitted that, yeah,
Trump has the right to do this. He has the
power of the authority to do this for a limited
amount of time obviously, I mean not indefinitely, but he
(27:27):
does have the right to do what it is that
he's doing, federalizing the police around our nation's capital. And
here's what the ridiculous thing is. And this very much
goes straight out to the people that are you know,
(27:47):
victims of this type of behavior. You know, the the
catch and release, the the non criminalism, the non criminalizing
criminalization of crimes, you know, letting these people do horrendous
crimes and then just letting them go back out on
the street without any punishment whatsoever. You know, these people,
(28:14):
this is going on everywhere and basically what you have
going on right now is you know, these mayors of
these bigger cities going, you know, I don't want help
eliminating crime in my city. That's basically what you have
(28:35):
going on right now. I mean the citizens of the cities,
you know, the victims of these criminals, they love this idea.
Finally we'll get some justice, Finally we'll clean up the
streets a little bit. Finally, maybe I'll be able to
walk the streets, you know, take my dog outside without
risk of getting shot. You know. Maybe I can go
(28:57):
to the grocery store without having to worry about my
carget carjack. Maybe I can drive down the road in peace.
I mean, that's what you have the citizens thinking, especially
the victims of these criminals, and these mayors, these other
city officials are basically going to news media outlets and going,
(29:17):
we don't want help cleaning up our streets. Crime may
be out of control, but you know what, we care
more about the criminals than what we do the victims.
I actually have a a T shirt on my website
(29:41):
Stinkpickle dot com s t I n K P I
k l E dot com. It is a quote from
Adam Smith Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.
Let me say that again, Mercy to the guilty is
(30:04):
cruelty to the innocent. And again that quote is from
Adam Smith. You can get that t shirt over on
stinkpickle dot com. And it is absolutely Adam Smith is
completely one percent right in that mercy to the guilty
(30:29):
is cruelty to the innocent, because that's what we see
play out playing out in DC and in most every
major city all across the US, and it truly is ridiculous,
It really is. All Right, So we're going to go
ahead and play a song will allow me to clear
out some of the tabs on here, and we are
(30:50):
going to go into talking about well, let's see, Adam Schiff,
We're going to be talking about the jerrymandering. That's going
to be kind of funny because I've got some new
developments in that one. Holy crap, some ridiculous arguments that
are being voiced by democrats. Was don't make any sense whatsoever,
(31:12):
you know when when it let me, let me just
we'll go out with this one. Anytime you hear a
democrat praising democracy, they're not actually praising democracy. Anytime they're
(31:35):
saying stuff like this is what democracy looks like. Anytime
they're they're they're claiming to that the actions they are
taking is to protect democracy. They're not actually wanting to
protect democracy. That's not what their strive is. I mean,
think about this. President Trump won the electoral College. President
(31:59):
Trump won the majority vote. There was still some cheating
that happened, and he still won. He won every swing state,
So the people are on Trump's side in this. I mean,
I love seeing these little things of like, oh, this
(32:21):
person getting arrested, or this activity is going on, and
this type of enforcement is going on, and then getting asked,
is this what you voted for? Yes? Yes, actually it is. Yeah. Now,
I mean, I'll take it a step further. I don't
just want the criminal element of illegal aliens, you know, arrested, detained,
sent back to wherever it is that they come from.
(32:41):
I want every one of them gone. I'm done. I'm
sick and tired of paying for illegal aliens. I'm sick
and tired of my tax dollars going to that. I'm
sick and tired of my tax dollars being wasted. I
don't just want the criminal element gone, I want them
all gone. That's where they've Is this what you voted for? Yes,
(33:08):
it is absolutely. I actually voted for more, and I'm
waiting patiently. Maybe not quite so patiently, but I'm waiting
to see more. Yes, this is what I voted for.
Absolutely it is. If the Democrats are so supportive of democracy,
(33:33):
then get the fuck out of the way, right, This
is what the majority of Americans voted for. Get out
of the way. If you're trying to defend democracy. If
you're trying to protect democracy, then why are you standing
in the way of what the people clearly voted for.
(33:55):
Get out of the way. Let democracy rule. Know, we
are not a democracy, we are a constitutionary republic. I
understand that. But this is using the Democrats on words
against them. If you're in defensive democracy, then get out
of the way and let democracy rule. Right, And that
where we're at right now. Anyway, just a few minutes
and I'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Sun's beating down on the track or seat, dusty road rising,
no shade or treat worked up. Sweat, Lord, it ain't fair.
Now there's a swamp brewing under there. Boots are dragging

most rated toilet paper found in Uranus and use what
the professionals use, angel Soft. See, I'm just not a
fan of sung toilet paper. Some of them is like
(37:37):
putting a peddal between your nice rosie. Others like John
Wayne toilet paper, it's like using sandpaper. But do what
the professionals use. Use the type of toilet paper that
is the goldilocks of brands. Angel Soft available wherever toilet
paper is sold. All right, and we are back, So
let's go ahead and jump right on endo. This not
(37:58):
exactly right out of time, but you know this is
probably going to take a minute, just because well you know,
these type of things usually do. So this we're talking
about the gerrymandering thing, all right, So just a quick
recap to let you guys know what was going on.
So Texas was going to you know, do some redistricting
(38:19):
in order to make things more balanced as to reflect
what the population actually was in Texas. Legal population actually
was in Texas, you know, unlike California, where they h
you know, have replaced a lot of the people that
were leaving by allowing you know, illegal aliens in order
(38:41):
to vote in our elections, you know, kind of beefing
up the numbers to where they weren't actually there. That's
what That's what happened. But in Texas, they were going
to redistrict in order to you know, kind of give
the population of the legal citizens to where their vote
wasn't being drowned out, you know. That's that's what it
(39:03):
amounted to. In other words, they are supporting and defending democracy.
But the Democrats didn't like that, and so they fled
to various states. Because in Texas, in order to you know,
in order for the Senate to be in session and
(39:25):
to do the job of the people, there has to
be a certain number of senators present, and if they're not,
then they can't do the do their job. Okay, That's
what it amounted to. So these Democrats fled to various states,
one of which being my state of Illinois, which just
(39:48):
cracked me up tremendously. I mean, here you have, you know,
Texas senators claiming that what they are trying to do
in Texas is jerrymandering, in other words, drawing the line
in such a ridiculous way as to benefit one party
over another. And they went to Illinois, which, if you've
(40:09):
ever looked at the district maps in Illinois, is a
clear representation of jerrymandering. Like you look up jerrymandering on
the map and you get Illinois. Well, it didn't quite
work out the way the Democrats wanted it to. This
headline from the New York Sun, Texas Senate passes redistricting
(40:32):
maps amid boycott by House Democrats and actually the first
one is from red state Texas Democrats who fled to
stop redistricting just folded like a bad poker hand. So, yes,
the Senate did pass, you know, because okay, what happened
was was basically this all right, this kind of genius.
Had to laugh about it, you know, because one of
(40:55):
the first articles that I've seen was, oh, you know what,
what the Democrats did paid off. You know, they're they're
not going to do the redistricting. Yay. So what they
did was basically end the special session, making the Democrats
think that the whole redistricting thing was now off the table.
(41:20):
They they ended the special session and they called him
back to you know, the regular session, I guess, you know,
and I believe it was like the second order of
business in the session was, Hey, we're going to vote
on this redistricting. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I'm like, that's freaking hilarious.
(41:44):
That's that's that's pretty much what i'd heard. I'm like, Wow,
that's that's actually, that's kind of brilliant. That's that's funny.
That cracked me up. You know that that cracked me up.
And you know, one of the things, uh, you know,
I also seen an article from the News and the
headline is Illinois Governor JB. Prisker grilled over how his
(42:06):
states redistricting moves differ from Texas. And that's very much
true because in Illinois, well, okay, in Texas, they're redrawing
the line to give voice to the citizens and take
away the voice from illegal residents, illegal aliens. Okay, that's
(42:34):
what they were doing in Texas. That was the whole
goal of redrawing district lines is to give the citizens
of Texas a voice instead of having their voice eliminated
by the illegals in Illinois. That's not exactly why they
(42:56):
do that. In Illinois. They drew the district the district
map in such a way as to eliminate the Republican voice.
And I know I mentioned this on the last show
that if the district lines were actually drawn in any
(43:18):
kind of illogical this is how it should be drawn,
any type of a way that would more reflect the
voters in the state of Illinois, that it would the
Illinois would be a swing state hands down. And I mean,
in all honesty, I can't even really say that with
any amount of certainty. I mean I hear people say like, like,
(43:43):
you know, fifty to fifty type of a thing. You know,
that's kind of what they're saying is that, you know,
based off of the current voters that we have in Illinois,
that if the district lines were actually drawn in such
a way as to reflect the voters, Illinois would be
a swing state. But I would actually take that a
step further and say, no, no, that's not right, that's
(44:04):
not accurate. As somebody who lives in Central Illinois. I
do not believe that statement is accurate, because I know
that there are a lot of people in this state,
especially downstate Illinois, even further south of me, that don't vote.
They just don't because they know that the system is
(44:26):
already rigged against them, and they don't see the point.
They really don't. They know that it's rigged. They've seen
the district maps, they know what goes on, and they
know that it really doesn't matter. And I would actually
(44:47):
go as far as to say that if they actually
drew the map in a way that truly reflected the voters,
you would see a huge uptick in Republican voters. I
don't even think it would be close, well maybe close,
probably be in the neighborhood of like sixty five thirty five.
I mean, I'm not even going to say sixty forty.
(45:09):
I don't know as if it would quite be as
bad as seventy thirty. But sixty five twenty five or
sixty five thirty five I can math. Yeah, I'm sure
it would be sixty five Republican thirty five Democrat. That's
probably a more accurate separation of Republicans versus Democrats. Texas
(45:38):
is redrawing the lines to give their citizens a vote,
an equal vote, one that actually makes sense to the
population of Texas. ILLINOI drew their district lines to give
Democrats an unfair advantage in the election. That's the difference.
(46:02):
And yeah, JB. Pretsker was called out over that. Let
me get into this headline for a second, so that
this way, I can, you know, like I said, truly
(46:24):
illustrate what I was talking about with Illinois, because this
headline continues or I'm sorry, the article continues in just
a News. Despite President Trump winning forty four percent of
the statewide vote in twenty twenty four, Republicans hold only
three of Illinois's seventeen districts. And that was said by
(46:47):
moderator Kristen Welker, that's how rigged it is in Illinois.
Trump won forty four percent of the vote and yet
only have three seats out of the seventeen districts. And
(47:08):
you're going to tell me that the districting in Illinois
is meant to be democratic, is meant to reflect the
will of the people. Now, it's bullshit, and everybody knows it.
Everybody in Illinois absolutely knows it. We do this. Uh yeah,
(47:30):
okay whatever this from Oh I do not want to
listen to Okay, cool, So it's not actually going to
play anything. It's muted. Awesome. I seen this one. This
headline from CNN. Headline is what gives you the right?
(47:54):
Tapper pushes back on Abbott over calls to remove Democrat lawman.
And you know, I'm going to be honest with you.
I'm all for it, I very much am. I am
all for it? What gives you the right? As Tapper
(48:16):
is arguing with with a grey Gabbott on removing a
Democrat lawmaker, let me let me ask you a question. Okay,
I don't know about you. I can only assume, but
you live in this place that we call realvill right,
the real world, Right, I mean that that's where I live,
and I'm assuming that's that's where you live as well,
(48:38):
realvill real life. Whether you are retired, you would know
if you are, you know, still working, you know, hoping
that you'll be able to retire someday like me currently
in the workforce. And I'm I'm sure that that you
(49:00):
could you could say something about this, right, I'm sure
that you you have a little perspective on this, because
I want you to think about this. I want you
to put your logic hat on and I want you
to truly think about this. All right, You have a job,
you have a nine nine to five, You have duties
you're supposed to be doing in set job, and you
(49:25):
don't show up for work. Where I'm where I come from,
they call that a no call show, no show, no call,
no show, right And in most companies, you know, they
they consider that grounds for immediate termination, but they don't
(49:46):
classify it as a termination. Because this is the hilarious
part about it is if you you know, if you
do a no call, no show, then that's even though
you were fired, whenever you return, it's counted as a
you quit and they don't have to pay unim. I
don't know where you're from, but that's that's how things
are where I'm from. That's that's how it's done. If
(50:08):
you do a no call, no show, it's classified as
abandoning your job. The punishment is you no longer have
a job. You abandon your job. You did a no call,
no show, you didn't show up. That's what these democrats
(50:37):
did when they left, to try to sabotage, because that's
what that's what they were doing. That's what this whole
thing a matter toe They were sabotaging the vote making,
you know, trying to you know, force the Republicans to
relinquish their redistricting. Because even though with the what the
(50:58):
Republicans are trying to do was given the citizens of
Texas an equal voice, try to make it more democratic,
what the Democrats were trying to prevent was the democratic process.
Anytime the Democrats are trying to say this is what
(51:18):
democracy looks like, that we're actually trying to protect democracy.
Know they're not. All they're trying to do is protect
and hold on to their own power. That's what they're doing.
Don't let them lie to you. That's what they're doing
every time. It's not about protecting democracy. It's not about
(51:39):
protecting what the people want. It's not about honoring your
oath and your you know, your office and honoring what
it is we're supposed to be doing. That's not what
the Democrats are in favor of. It's about protecting their
own power. And that's exactly what's going on here. The
(52:05):
Democrats through a temper tantrum and they left the state
because they knew that it was going to be bad
for them. This is what democracy looks like. The citizens
are being able to have an equal voice in their
(52:26):
government as they are supposed to. And so the threat
is these democrats, some of them may get booted from office.
(52:48):
And as far as I know, at this particular point
in time, these are just talks, right, I mean, that's
just the veiled threat that's being thrown around. But I'm
going to be honest with you, I'm all for it.
Every single one of these Democrats should be removed from
office because, in essence is what you had is these
democrats abandoned their post. They left their constituents without a
(53:12):
vote in office. They abandoned their post. They left their
job because they were supposed to be there in session
in their seat to vote thumb up or thumb down.
If you actually love democracy, as the Democrats claim that
they do, then you should have been there let your
(53:33):
voices be heard. But instead, no, they threw a temper
tantrum and they left, And I believe every single one
of them should be removed from office. You abandoned your post.
You were supposed to be there and you weren't. You
(53:54):
failed your constituents. You should know longer be a senator.
You should no longer be there. You should be removed,
and in fact, you should be removed and you should
never be eligible to run again for any public service
position office. I know that may sound a little harsh,
(54:20):
but again, if you're not going to punish these people
for doing stuff that they're not supposed to be doing,
then all you're doing is welcoming, welcoming more people to
do the same. That's all that's going on. You don't
do something about it, you're going to get more of
the same. That's a problem that we have been seeing
here in the United States for a very long time.
(54:44):
We're no longer punishing criminals. What are we getting out
of control crime? Oh I'm mad about this dad and
the other So I'm going to break into this Apple
store and steal me an iPhone. Okay, I mean, we
(55:06):
really do live in a society where the people in power,
mainstream media, they victimize criminals. I'm sorry, Yeah, they victimize criminals. Oh,
it's not his fault that he lashed out. He had
(55:29):
a rough childhood. His dad beat him, his mom walked
out on him, his dog died whenever he was young.
It's not his fault. They victimize criminals, and they criminalize
the victims. How dare you use lethal force to protect
your family? How dare you? I mean, we see these
(55:55):
articles in headlines all the time, and it truly is travesty.
It really is. You know, we live in an upside
down world right now, and I really hope that very
very soon we see some more common sense things play out.
(56:16):
I really do hope we see that, and I'm hoping
it sooner rather than later, because the fact of the
matter is, even Democrats are starting to wake up to
what's going on. They're not believing the gas lighting like
they used to did. They're taking note, they're paying attention.
(56:40):
Things have been too in your face recently. And the
Democrats are not on the right side of the argument.
They're on the wrong side of the argument. They're losing
their own voting block, and they're terrified, they're losing their
own wheels of power, and they're terrified. They're lashing out.
(57:10):
I mean, there's this possibility that things might actually get
worse before we get better, before it gets better. I
know what you're thinking that, how can it possibly get
any worse? Oh, it can get worse, It can it can.
I'd hate to see it. I don't know what that's
going to look like, but it could happen, you know.
(57:34):
I mean, I'm going to be honest with you about something.
It's I've heard it said that culture is downstream from politics,
or maybe politics is downstream from culture. Yeah, politics is
downstream from culture. You allys know that. A couple of
weeks ago, I went on vacation. Now, one of the
(57:55):
things I did on vacation, I went to an event
close to where I'm at called Mudfest. Actually it was
music and mudfest, and it was uh riding on four wheelers.
I mean there was there was ATV's out there, there
were side by sides out there. There was big old
freaking mud trucks. I mean, I'm talking mud trucks where
(58:15):
the tire is as tall as I am. Big freaking
mud trucks, man, I mean, And it was it was fun,
it really was. I had a blast. I got some
poison oak ivy sumac I don't even know I got.
I got all kinds of crap on there right now.
It's it's ridiculous, it really is. And it's itchy. Oh
I don't like it. It's not poison ivy. I can
(58:36):
tell you that much right now. If it was poison ivy,
I'd had to go to the doctor already and get
me a steroid shot because poison ivy messes me up.
I am severely allergic to it, and it's ridiculous. I
don't like it. So it's either poison oak or poison
seu mac. Anyway, having a conversation with a few guys,
and you know, there was a time not that long
(59:00):
long ago where you know, there's just certain things you
don't talk about in mixed company. You know, you don't
talk about politics, you don't talk about religion. You don't
do it because far too often people have, you know,
their own views, and too many people out there don't
(59:24):
take dissenting views very positively. You know, they can't handle debate,
they can't handle it whenever somebody else doesn't believe the
same thing they believe. And so what normally happens is
you just avoid those conversations, right you just you don't
(59:44):
do it. You don't talk about politics, you don't talk
about religion. Now, I don't know if the same thing
is happening where you're at. I hope it is, because
what I'm seeing happening more and more often, is people
(01:00:07):
are actually talking about politics. People are wearing political shirts,
shirts with political messages on them. You're seeing things flags,
maga hats, you know, what have you, Things that really
(01:00:27):
point as to what they believe politically. And we're beginning
to find out through a lot of different means that
you know, as a Republican, I'm not as alone as
I once thought I was. You know, we believe that
(01:00:51):
the Democrats just you know, considering they had their fingers everywhere,
you know, they have their hand in every single freaking
pie that they are. They that they so outnumber us
that that it's worthless trying to fight them. It's pointless.
It's a waste of time. We're going to wind up broken, busted,
just like big Balls. I mean, not the broke part,
(01:01:14):
but the bust apart. That's what our mindset has been.
But we're coming to find out that they don't have
necessarily a loud voice that's been amplified using government money.
They don't have huge numbers. They use illegals to pad
(01:01:39):
the books, and when they can't pad the books enough,
they cheat. We're coming to find out that they don't
have the support that they once had. I mean, think
about it. Ever since this USAID money has drawn ups,
has dried up, what have we seen. The view is
now done. Old Bear is being canceled. There are several
(01:02:03):
other ones on the chopping block. I even heard that
that I don't remember if it was PBS or NPR,
but one of them is going by the wayside. I
don't remember which one, but one of them's going by
the wayside. And what we're seeing is that all these
voices that were just talking heads, all these people that
were just talking heads for the Democrat Party, that they
(01:02:27):
were being subsidized. You know, they weren't there because people
watched them. They were being subsidized by government money. They're
not as powerful as what they wanted you to believe
that they were. They're not. And we're seeing this happen
(01:02:48):
right now in real time. And it does give me
a small sense of victory to see this going on.
It gives me, you know, I mean, it feels like
a weight is starting to lift on my shoulder. I mean, granted, man,
I'm not letting up. I ain't letting up at all.
(01:03:11):
They've got a lot of work to do. We need
to see people being held accountable for what they've been doing.
We need to see people getting arrested for the crimes
they have been committed. We can't tolerate it, and just
to expect and demand better from them is not enough.
We need to arrest them. We need to put them
in jail, prove that they committed these crimes. Put them
(01:03:34):
in jail. It's done, the free ride is over. That's
what we need to do. And I know that's what
I'm demanding, and I hope that's what you're demanding to
But I'm hearing people talk about politics more often. I'm
hearing people talk and in common sense approaches with it.
(01:03:59):
You know, you may not like some of the mean tweets,
but you gotta like what he's been accomplishing. Trump derangement.
Send him is real. Ignore the man, pay attention to
what's going on. You'll be happy. I mean, really, whose economy?
(01:04:19):
Are you happier under Biden's with inflation and everything else?
Are you actually happier under Trump? No? I mean, granted
not everybody's going to have a positive reaction to this,
because I mean, you know, when something breaks, it takes
some time to pick up the pieces and put it
(01:04:41):
back together the way it should be, right. I mean,
sometimes that kind of stuff takes time. It's not going
to happen overnight. It takes some time. Yes, Medicaid money
has been cut, but to cut to medicaid wasn't a
cut to people that are supposed to be receiving medicaid.
It's from the people that are not supposed to be
(01:05:04):
receiving it. Everything else is supposed to be staying in place.
That's not to say that things may not happen. This
thing wasn't broken overnight. I want you to at least
be honest with that fact right there. You know, we're
(01:05:26):
going on two hundred and fifty years as being America,
as being a free sovereign state. This thing we call
corruption happened a while back ago, right, I mean, it's
going to take some time to fix it. It's going
(01:05:46):
to take a little bit of time. It's going to
take some effort. It's going to take some diligence to
get us going where we should be. It's not going
to happen overnight, but it's up to us keep the
(01:06:07):
pressure on. Condemn those that are doing wrong, praise those
that are doing right, and as Dan Bongino used to say,
keep it transactional. These people are not our friends. They
can be a positive, they can be a negative. They're
(01:06:28):
not off. They are not our friends. But keep them
in check, keep them accountable. The job in over yet
we got a lot of work to do, we really do. Anyway,
