(00:59):
and that'll take you to my magazine over there. On flipboard,
might go to hub one stop shop for anything everything
in all things news. So there you go, head on
over there. It's a good place to visit and stay
a lot and stuff. All right, So let's go ahead

(01:21):
and get into it because we're going to be talking
about snap benefits. We're going to be talking a little
bit about the shutdown. Some interesting things that Obama said
back in the day we're going to be talking about.
Let's see, what are some of this stuff we're talking
about today. Holy crap, gotta get in there, all right,

(01:43):
So there we go, voting rights Artic Frost. Yeah, so
those are some of the things we're going to be
talking about today. But first we are going to start
off here with this article from Newsmax headline. US retailers
left short changed as penny production ends. Now, I know

(02:07):
there's a lot of people that, you know, just might
not really care about this. I get that, But as
somebody who used to go into Canada on the regular basis,
you know, for the job, you know, it wasn't I
was going there as a tourist or anything. I was working.
That was why I was going up there. Canada hasn't

(02:31):
used a penny for a while. I don't remember when
exactly they stopped using the penny, and I often often
wondered why we still use the penny, right, I mean
I had wondered that for years, because it cost more
to make a penny than what a penny is actually worth.

(02:52):
I mean, it just it seems just kind of weird,
seemed kind of stupid to me to continue to make
a penny, especially can considering you know, most pennies aren't
even in circulation because most people they'll they'll put them
in you know, discard them. They'll put him in piggybanks

(03:13):
and whatnot, and who knows how long until that penny
actually goes back into circulation again. So, I mean, it's
kind of ridiculous. It's a waste of money, and most
people don't even use them anyway. But for some reason
there's a lot of people upset about this. It's like, oh,
this is really going to screw over businesses and customers
and YadA YadA, blah blah, and it's like, dude, look,

(03:35):
you know again, Canada's been doing it for a while,
They've been doing it for years. But it actually gets
better because they don't even have a one dollar bill.
They have a one dollar coin. Makes more sense, can
stay in circulation a lot longer lasts. It's actually you know,

(03:55):
cost benefit, you know, it's a positive, right. They don't
even have a two dollar bill. They have a two
dollar coin, and oddly enough, they call them loonies and toonies,
which I just love the name. You know, as as
a kid who grew up in you know, the eighties
watching looney Tunes. Just the name of a Looney and
attuny that just cracked me up. I thought it was funny. So, yeah,

(04:20):
they haven't been using a penny for quite some time.
And is what happens is if you are paying cash,
then it is rounded to the nearest nickel slash dollar.
That's what it's rounded to. So I mean, if it's
under three cents, then it goes to the dollar. If
it's over you know, three cents and over, then it

(04:42):
goes to the nickel. And basically in Canada, nobody complains
about it because in the end, at the end of
the day, it all balances out. And I mean, let's
be honest to most people, whenever we're paying for things,
I know, I'm like this, normally you're using a card,

(05:08):
you're using plastic, so I mean it doesn't really even matter.
I mean, this is one of them things where they're
just making a non They're making something out of a
non issue. I mean, that's more or less what it
amounts to. They're making this into a big to do
whenever most people aren't even paying cash anyway, I really

(05:29):
don't see the issue here. I'm just just going to
be honest with you, I don't see the issue. I
think it's kind of ridiculous. Why not get rid of
the penny because it just makes freaking sense. And when
did they actually do this. I'm looking through the article
right quick, and it says something an error has occurred.
I don't care, but I believe this is something that

(05:51):
President Trump talked about doing. Well. I would try to
get info on this, but it looks as though the
place where I would get that from is just being

(06:13):
a pen in the butt right now. Of when this
article was released, I don't know why, but it went
screwy on me. Oh there we go Saturday in November
one ash so this came out today. That's whenever this
article was written. At any rate, I'm still trying to
look up when he said that he was instituting this.

(06:37):
But basically is what it about it to is President Trump,
you know, put out in order to the US Treasury,
the US meant that it will no longer produce pennies.
So there we go. And I guess there's a lot

(06:58):
of businesses that again heard they're kind of upset about this.
I'm still trying to find whenever he said this and
I'm not seeing it anyway. It doesn't matter. Let me
know what you guys think as far as you know
the penny no longer being minted. Do you think it's
an issue. Do you think it's a nine issue? Do
you think it was a waste of time and waste

(07:19):
of money to produce the things? Let me know. Let
me know doubt in the comments. Send me an email
Hoho at the ho Hot show dot com. Let's go
ahead and move on. This next article is from the
American Conservative, and this I'm talking about law enforcement enforcing

(07:39):
the law, because that's what is really going on with
this article. This is again from the American Conservative. Headline
on immigration, Trump is just enforcing the law. I truly
do not understand why you have I mean I do,

(07:59):
don't get me wrong, I very much do. I know
what it's all about. But I don't understand why some
people are completely up in arms about this whole you know, ice,
immigration and everything else. I mean it truly is. You know,
they're trying to label President Trump as doing something horribly

(08:19):
bad whenever, after everything's all said and done, all he's
doing is enforcing the law. That really is all he's doing.
He's enforcing the law. And I know I've said this before,
but I'm going to say it again because it really
is important. If Congress had such a huge problem with ice,

(08:43):
with immigration enforcement, with immigration laws in general, why didn't
they write a different law. That's a pretty good question,
isn't it. Why didn't they write a different law? If
they have a problem with it, why didn't they change it?

(09:06):
And they've been crying about, you know, how long the
immigration process takes, how expensive it is, all of this
other kind of crap. You know, you have people on
both sides that have been complaining about this forever. Ever
since the eighties, they've been complaining about this, and it's like,

(09:26):
you know, and crying about amnesty whenever they feel as
though it's not being done fairly and is unjust and
all this other kind of crap. And it's like, dude,
why are you you know, people like AOC prime example
of this, Why are you complaining about immigration law? Why
are you complaining about the enforcement of said law whenever

(09:52):
you're in the legislative branch which has the power to
change it. So instead of complaining about it, why don't
you change it? Isn't that really a good question? To ask,
you know, if they truly do have a problem with it,
they could change it. And Hello Dave over there in

(10:13):
rumble Land, Good to see you over there, sir. So yeah,
I just I mean, yes, I get it, I really do,
you know, because on the flip side, I got to
give it the other side of that same coin. It's
about one. It's about power, obviously, because it's also about votes. See,

(10:43):
whenever it comes to the American citizen. When it comes
to the American citizen, Democrats are losing their support. They
really are. So what they have to do is bring

(11:03):
in a loyal voting base and in order to make
them loyal slash keep them loyal, they have to give
them free shit. I mean, that really is what this
whole thing amounts to. It's about power, obviously, because you

(11:24):
know the Democrat Party wants to stay in power. But
it's about votes. It's about making importing a loyal voting
block that is only loyal because you give them free shit.
And that's some of the stuff that has come out

(11:45):
with this government shutdown and with DOSEE as well, with
the waste of fraud and the abuse that they've been finding.
That's one of the things that is that's come out
on that, and we'll get a little bit more into
that whenever we actually do talk about Well, okay, so
I guess it is like coming up right now, looking
at my tabs up there. That's spiffy. But yeah, they

(12:06):
want a loyal voting block, those that are so grateful
to the Democrat Party that they will vote only for Democrats.
That's what it amounts to people. That's why Democrats are
so hell bent on maintaining benefits for illegal aliens. That's
why they are so hell bent on denying Ice the

(12:29):
ability to enforce the law and get rid of these
illegal aliens and deport them and get them the hell
out of the country, which is what needs to happen
in the first place. I mean, it really is, because
this is artificially, I don't want to say artificially, that's
not exactly the right word for it. But it is

(12:50):
inflating the market everywhere because these illegal aliens are here
to the you know, like to the number of like
forty million freaking people that many people here, and of
course they're going to safe havens. Obviously, they're going to cities,

(13:14):
they're going well, they're going to blue cities. They're going
to blue states. They're going to blue areas, places that
have things like, oh, sanctuary cities, that's where they're going.
And even people in this you know, in these cities,
in these states, those that are on both sides of

(13:35):
the aisle, both Democrats and Republicans, they're getting sick and
tired of this. They're getting sick and tired of their
tax dollars going to support these illegal aliens, keep them
here and inflate the economy. I know I've said this
before on the program, and I'm going to say it again.

(13:57):
One of the side effects of deporting every illegal alien
that is here is going to be lowering the cost
of things. Because it's the law of supply and demand,

(14:19):
and it is a law. It's a law that is
as immutable as gravity. It really is. Because as demand
goes down, prices goes up. You have illegal aliens here
in America to the tune of forty million people. Guess

(14:43):
what they're doing. They're living in houses. What does that
do that the housing market makes it go up because
you are lowering supply, the demand is still there, you know,
lowering supply raising demand, I mean that makes prices go up. Food,

(15:07):
lowering supply because the demand is up, makes prices go up.
Healthcare lowers the supply because there's only so many doctors
out there, only so many nurses, raises demand, prices goes up.

(15:29):
That's just how it works. And if you do all
these illegal aliens out of the country because they're not
supposed to be here in the first place, you're going
to have more housing available, You're going to have more
food available. Education is going to get better because you're
going to have fewer students in the classroom, your tax dollars.

(15:54):
Oh boy, I got a sneeze coming. Oh boy, there
we go. What was I talking about edification? Yes, less
students in a classroom, meaning that you can get a
better learning experience hopefully. And of course, you know, like

(16:18):
I said, food, everything is associated to this. This is
going to quite literally affect the cost of everything in
this country. You want prices to go down, you want
inflation to get knocked on his ass, then this also
has to happen. You want your tax dollars to be more,

(16:41):
more good or well spent on the American people will
quit spending that money on illegal aliens that ain't supposed
to be here. In the first place. This headline from
Fox News food stamp benefits for forty two million Americans

(17:09):
in jeopardy day amid shutdown. So Senate Democrats and Republicans
clash over SNAP funding as benefits expire. Now here's the thing.
The benefits ended. What did the benefits end? Okay, so
the benefits either ended yesterday, as in today is the

(17:31):
first day that there is no more SNAP benefits or
it ends today. And I think it ended yesterday. And
you know, because the government's shut down because they haven't
agreed on you know, government funding. I mean, that's why
this whole thing's going on. And I think the even
like the ACA, the Affordable Care Act also known as Obamacare,

(17:55):
I think that's actually in a little bit of jeopardy too,
And you know, it's the same type of thing, you know.
But I think we'll get into that here in a
little bit. But I don't remember. But anyway, Dave put
in here, he goes, you keep on talking common sense.
That's the issue. Democrats don't have that they make emotional decisions,

(18:19):
not practical decisions, you know. But that's the thing. I mean, Yes,
a lot of Democrats out there are making the emotional decision.
Yes they are, you know, they're all about feelings. But
it's the same time, I mean, they know exactly what
they're doing. Like I said, you know, they are fighting
for a loyal voting block because they are terrified of

(18:42):
losing power. I mean, why else do you think that
they are fighting so hard to maintain you know, government, Sorry, well,
why else do you think they're fighting so hard to

(19:03):
keep taxpayer funded benefits going to illegal aliens? They're giving
away free ship. That's all in a mouse do They
are fighting tooth and nail for a loyal voting block
because they are losing the support of average, everyday Americans,

(19:26):
people that are more moderate than they are radical left.
I mean, that really is what a mouse do? You know?
And when it comes to the illegal immigration and illegal
aliens being here, Republicans are I mean not quite as bad,

(19:48):
but they're still pretty bad because you know, the Democrats
want a loyal voting block, but Republicans want cheap labor.
And they've always lied to Americans by saying that, oh,
these illegal aliens are only doing the job that Americans
don't want to do. Bravo Sierra man. That's that's total crap.

(20:09):
That's that's a that's a lie. That's something that they
say to try to make Americans less angry about illegals
being here and taking jobs away from Americans. And oh yeah,
by the way, Uh, there's a lot of crime that
goes on there too, because if they're going to get

(20:34):
a job legitimately, then they have to steal somebody's identity
in order to do it. That's identity theft. That's illegal,
that's criminal. Or they're getting paid under the table, you know,
cash under the table, and of which case, that's also illegal.

(20:55):
That's a crime. And the businesses that hire and employee
illegal aliens without a work visa, work permit, you know
what have you? Uh, that's also illegal. If I said
it once, I said it a hundred times. You want

(21:15):
to kick these people out of the country, then what
you need to do is start enforcing those laws on
the very companies that hire them, because if they don't
have jobs to come to, if they don't have government
assistance when they get here, then why would they stay.

(21:39):
They would leave. Absolutely, that's all that the mounts do.
Data Pannaria goes, it's ridiculous. They won't lose power at all.
If they stop their nonsense. Yeah, very true, there will
be a correction of society and eventually we can get
one step closer to the utopia, like how you did.

(22:01):
Isn't that what we are trying to accomplish, our vision
of utopia, a world that we see that works fairly
for everyone. It's a big concept, you know, in that
that really is the thing. And I really don't I
understand what you're saying. That really is the true aspect

(22:22):
of it. I didn't word that very agin. Oh well,
it doesn't matter. Conservatism works when you put it in practice.
This has been demonstrated to be accurate, to be true
in every instance that it has been tried, unlike socialism,

(22:47):
unlike communism, unlike everything that the left seems to be
fighting for right now, because in every single instance where communism, socialism, fascism,
all this other kind of stuff, every single time that
has been used, utilized, exercised, it's always failed, each and
every time. And you know what happens is all these people,

(23:11):
or at least from one generation or one instance to
the next, that they don't go that, oh well, yeah, okay,
so democracy is crap. Maybe we shouldn't be or I'm sorry.
Not democracy is crap, but you know, communism and socialism
is crap. Maybe we shouldn't do it, maybe we should
do something else. That's not what it amounts. That's not
what they say. They say, Oh, they didn't exercise it properly.

(23:34):
They sucked in their implementation. That's always what the excuse is.
It's not that communism is bad, it's not that socialism
is bad or fascism is bad. It's that they weren't
smart enough to do it properly. But we are. We're
great at this thing. We are absolutely amazing, even though

(23:55):
every single instance where it has been used, even in America,
it's failed. And one of the biggest aspects in this

(24:19):
because this really is an underlying, underlying fact, it really
is okay, the government doesn't want Americans to be successful.
They don't. They don't want you to be successful. They

(24:40):
don't want you to be able to figure it out
on your own. They don't want you to work for yourself.
They don't want you to earn for yourself. They don't
want you to provide for yourself. And the reason is
quite simple, because if you have a strong, stable economy,

(25:02):
if you have people that are able willing to work
to get themselves out of poverty and move up on
the economic ladder. If you have people that are willing
to do that provide for themselves, they do not need government.

(25:25):
And that's what the whole thing amounts to. That's why
they have instituted some of these programs. It is to
trap people into serfdom, is to force people to pay

(25:47):
for other people that don't want to work. It's about
creating a permanent underclass in America because the more people
depend on government, the more government needs to do to
provide for these people, the more power they can take.
That's what it amounts to. It's about power, and that

(26:15):
really is what it amounts to, because they know the
more people depend on government, the more powerful government can become.
Because if you don't need government in your average, everyday life,
then how does government have any power? And of course,

(26:38):
the fact of the matter is government is only supposed
to do a very limited number of things. Everything outside
of that belongs in the hands of the state and
of the people. Government isn't supposed to be huge. Government
isn't supposed to be doing the majority of the things
that they do, which is why they can't do the

(26:58):
few things they're supposed to. I mean, think about it.
They argue and have been arguing for about all kinds
of things. The government shut down. One of the very
specific things they're supposed to be doing every single year
is twelve appropriation bills. But they can't do it. Why
because they're too busy doing shit they ain't supposed to
be doing. That's why we're in this mess. They try

(27:23):
to do things they ain't supposed to be doing, which
doesn't allow them the time necessary to do the crap
they're supposed to be doing. Do you think the Trump
administration feels that way as far as what wanting illegals here?

(27:50):
No about the idea of kicking these illegals out that
will raise or i'm sorry, lower the price of everything
to help out the American people. Absolutely. I think he
very much knows that. He's a businessman, and you know,
President Donald Trump, at the end of the day, is

(28:10):
a pragmatist. He' sees problems, he starts looking for solutions,
and then whenever he finds them, he starts to implement them.
If he's wrong, he changes it, says let's do something different.
This isn't working out, so I mean on those aspects, absolutely,
do I think President Trump understands that conservatism works whenever

(28:34):
it is put into practice. Yeah, I think he understands
that too. And this time, I mean, let's not forget
that President Trump has learned a lot from his first
administration because he's done things quite differently during this administration.
This time around Trump two point zero, he's doing things different,

(28:58):
and quite honestly, it seems to be working, you know.
So there you go. So the food stamp program is
in jeopardy for forty two million Americans amidst the shutdown.

(29:20):
But here is an article from the Economic Policy Innovation Center.
The headline is, one point five million non citizens receive
food stamps. Yeah, Dave put In, he goes, they're stretch

(29:43):
way too thin. Yeah. Absolutely, but one point five million
non citizens ReFood receive food stamps and that, oh yeah,
not wanting us to be successful probably. I mean, here's

(30:06):
the honest, you know, honest take on it. You know,
these people that are in Washington, they are not your friends.
They don't represent you, They really don't. They represent themselves.
They represent the people who give them the money they
need in order to live a lavish lifestyle. In order

(30:27):
to continue to get elected. It isn't about the people
who vote for them. It's about those who give them money.
That's who they support. I mean, why do you think
that they You know, they talk a good game whenever
it comes time for an election, but whenever they get
into Washington, their actions don't match their words, and then

(30:48):
they cry about things like, oh, we're not in power. Oh,
we have to reach across the aisle. Oh we have
to do this, we have to do that. We can't
do this, we can't do that, we can't do what
we're supposed to do. Republican Party is supposed to be
an opposition party to the Democrats, which means less regulations,

(31:08):
less red tape, less government inference, interference, smaller government, less taxes,
things like that. You know, there was a time when
that was the Republican platform. When was the last time
we've actually seen that. It's been a while. The best

(31:29):
that the Republican Party seems to seems to accomplish, you know,
and this is assuming they're even able to get a majority,
which you know, every single majority they've been given or
have been able to take has been a very slim majority,
not really allowing them a lot of leeway to combat

(31:52):
and overtake the Rhino Republicans. But why do you think
the only thing that the Republican Party has been able
to accomplish in modern history is not stopping or rolling
back countering the Democrat agenda, putting an absolute stop to it.
It's only been they've been weak in everything they've been

(32:15):
able to do. They may slow it down a little bit,
they may pause it ever so slightly, but they've never
been able to full on stop it and roll it back.
I mean, take the Affordable Care Act for example. It

(32:37):
was a crap bill. It was designed to overwhelm the
healthcare industry and force the American people into government healthcare. Period.
That's what the whole thing was about, and was the

(33:00):
Republican Party whenever they won a majority after the Affordable
Care Act was passed, was they able to roll it
back disassemble Johnny five? Were they able to do that?

Speaker 2 (33:12):
No?

Speaker 1 (33:16):
They kind of, you know, was able to stop a
couple aspects of it. They were able to in a
matter of speaking, take the teeth out a little bit.
But at the same time, they didn't actually get rid
of it completely. And they've allowed it even though it's
not in full effect as it was when it was
originally passed. It's still done a butt loaded damage. David

(33:46):
Teni goes. I think you're absolutely correct. The more society falls,
the larger government gets, and vice and vice a versa. Yeah,
the government enables poor performance and behavior. Americans that need
more grit aap so freaking lutely we need to be
more resourceful and tougher. Yeah, we're enabled by apps, technology

(34:09):
and way too soft leadership. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, dude,
this is kind of the thing. And I've thought about
this numerous times, and you are, You're absolutely right on this,
you know, But I remember a time whenever I knew

(34:30):
everybody's phone number. There was a time I knew everybody's
phone number. I knew my phone number. I knew my
grandparents' phone numbers. I knew every friend I had's phone numbers.
You know, quite a few different phone numbers, my brother's
phone number. I knew everybody's phone number. I want to
know why, Because I didn't have a cell phone that

(34:52):
remembered it for me. I had to remember. I had
to walk up to a phone that was rotary or
touched to and I had to pick up the handle
and press the buttons and do it myself. I couldn't
just click on a name and then it get dialed
for me because it was recorded like that. If I

(35:14):
wanted it recorded, I had to do it on paper.
If I needed to write it down, remember who it was.
If I didn't remember. But you know, you never remember
to bring those oh what are they called, well, not
phone books, but you know whatever, the place where you
write down people's names and phone number. You never remember

(35:36):
those when you need them, and so you're forced to
remember them yourself. Yeah, apps and all this technology we have,
I mean like, yeah, we have way more access to
information than any other point in history. But at the
same time, it's made us stupid because it has made

(35:56):
us depend on this technology. And the same thing goes
whenever it comes to government. If I've said it once,
I've said it a million times. The whole you know,
don't feed the wild animals? Why don't you feed the
wild animals because these wild animals become dependent on getting
fed fails not false, my bad, but the wildlife becomes

(36:27):
dependent upon intervention, upon getting help, upon the handout. And
people guess what were no different? There are some numbers
that I heard regarding SNAP benefits that are truly eye opening,

(36:51):
and it takes me off. I'm just gonna be honest
with it takes me off, all right. I remember seeing
a video over there on the X and unfortunately I
did not bookmark this. I really didn't. That is my bad,
but I didn't bookmark it. I didn't save it. And

(37:13):
it threw in a lot of information, a lot of
different different information, as in the percentages of illegal aliens
per where they are coming from that are receiving food
stamp benefits, and it was pretty eye opening. But one

(37:34):
of the things that was in there was over half
of all food stamp recipients over I think it was
over fifty six percent of all food stamp recipients are
illegal aliens. And yet they tried to tell us, as
American taxpayer citizens, that our money isn't going to illegal aliens,

(37:59):
and in which case, well crap, it is over fifty
six percent of all money that goes out to cover
these SNAP benefits or going to illegal aliens. Why is
my tax dollars going to people that are not supposed

(38:23):
to be here in the first place. Why is my
tax dollars being spent to do that, for housing, for food,
for health care, for any of it. Worth thirty eight
trillion dollars in debt. And I know that's a number

(38:45):
that is so big it is unfathomable. It's a huge number.
We can't keep this up. We just can't. Not going
to happen. There's hilarious. There's a hilarious stand up comedian

(39:06):
named Does Bishop. He does a whole bit on this hilarious.
It's made up. It's made us stupid and crazy. Yeah,
I've not heard of this guy, so I'll have to
look him up and check out that that bit. I'll
have to do that. Our money isn't supposed to be
going to illegals, especially when we have things going on

(39:29):
here that need to be accomplished. It needs to be done.
We can't do that because we're paying for all these
illegal aliens. And another thing that I had heard regarding
the SNAP program was that like seventy five seventy six
percent of American SNAP recipients are people whom are of

(39:57):
working age, They are able to to work, and yet
they refuse to work. No dependents, refuse to work able
bodied individuals. That consists of seventy six percent of Americans
that are on SNAP. I had to take a drink

(40:23):
of my coffee because I wanted that to sink in.
Three out of four people on SNAP that are American
citizens are able bodied, no dependents that refuse to work.

(40:45):
I go to work every day. I on a regular basis,
will work fifty sixty hour weeks, sometimes seventy hour weeks.
Go into work every day to earn money, to pay

(41:09):
for my own health care, to pay for my own food,
to pay for my own housing, to pay for everything
that I need. Close on my back, a roof over
my head, make sure my house doesn't free and I
go cold, or house doesn't burn up and I, you know,
sweat to death. I have to pay for everything I need,

(41:33):
go to work, spend a butt ton of time as
a truck driver, spending most of my time away from home.
And yet seventy six percent of SNAP recipients able bodied,

(41:54):
zero dependents, refusing to go to work and demanding, not asking,
but demanding that me, as a tax payer, fund their
lifestyle they put in It goes. Honestly, I feel as

(42:17):
if most entitlements should shouldn't exist at all. That includes
Social Security. I told the Democrat that once and he
flipped out. You know, in all honesty, I am very
much agreeing with you, very much, But the only thing
that I will exclude from that is social security because
social Security isn't an entitlement in the same way that

(42:40):
SNAP and these housing benefits and the medicare, medicaid whatever
you know there, it's not an entitlement in the same
way because what social security is is a well one.
It's a government funded, government provided Ponzi scheme, but it
is taken from you as a forced retirement plan. So

(43:05):
I mean, it's not money that I get taxed the
government wants to spend and give to somebody else. It's
money that government takes from me with the understanding that
it's going to give it back to me whenever I retire.
That's what soci security is. And for those that ain't
able to pull everything out of their Social Security whenever

(43:27):
they you know, pass away, that goes to you know,
other people in their family, it goes to you know,
people who can't work with SSA benefits. You know, there
you go. So, I mean, I I do agree with you,
but just not in the realm of soci security, because
that's not an entitlement. But SNAP is an entitlement, It
very much is. But I mean, the whole purpose of

(43:49):
SNAP was to help people during a transitional phase. You know.
It's like, Hey, I unfortunately can't you know, I don't
bring in enough money to help me out. I'm trying
to find another job to get more money, but I
need help in the meantime before that, you know, so
I don't start to death. You know, I'm between jobs.

(44:10):
I got fired. I'm looking for another job. Unfortunately, I
just haven't found one yet. I need help putting food
on the table. You know. And if that was all
that was used for as a temporary measure to help
people make ends meet while they are working towards making
ends meet, I would have no problem. What's not benefits

(44:34):
or really any of any of these benefits none whatsoever.
You know, I'm not heartless, I'm not cold. I have
a giving heart that desires to help people take care
of people. I really do. I have a giving heart.

(44:56):
I really do care. But to see how these different benefits,
how these entitlements have been utilized by people, how they
have been taken advantage of, and how most recipients who
are receiving it are just entitled pricks that refuse to

(45:20):
do for themselves. That's when it takes me off. That's
when it's gone too far, you know. That's whenever I'm
done given. I don't care. I mean the unfortunate part,
you know, the unfortunate aspect of it is, we've done
this for so long. We've made these people dependent upon

(45:42):
a government handout at the expense of American taxpayers. And
of which case, you can't. You're going to make everybody
suffer for the seventy six percent, David, and he goes, correct,
but if it never existed at all, we'd never expect it.

(46:05):
You're right, we take our money more seriously and maybe
learn how to spend and invest it. You're right, absolutely,
he goes, Okay, I hear you. I think Social Security
is a is a great nationwide neighbor. Yeah, we can
do better with our money if we learn about finances
earlier in life. Absolutely. Most of the Republicans have a

(46:29):
giving heart as well, It's just not perceived that way. Yeah,
you're right. Back to your previous comment in there, our
education system does a very poor job in teaching our

(46:58):
children how to invest, teach them how to become entrepreneurs,
teach them how to take a chance on business, teaching
them about true economics. And I don't want you to think

(47:24):
about that, because that is very true. What our education system,
unless you're going to an education system for the elites,
they don't teach you how to be an entrepreneur. They
don't teach you how to take risks in business. They
don't teach you how to do any of that crap.
But what they do teach you to do is how

(47:47):
to be a reliable and dependent serf. They don't teach
you how to break free and become financially independent. They
teach you how to carry a bucket to trade hours

(48:12):
for a paycheck. I present, you know, I fill up
my bucket with hours, with with time and servitude working
for the company that I do, and then I'm going
to give it to them and say, here, give me
money in return for my hours. That's what our education
system teaches us is dependency, Not independence, but dependency. Yeah,

(48:46):
he goes teaching them to be independent, gritty, and resourceful.
They they coddle kids way too much. I can go
on and on. Yeah, So over fifty six percent of
all recipients are illegal aliens. Of the American citizens who

(49:08):
were on SNAP, seventy six percent of them are able
bodied zero dependents who flat out refuse to go out
and get a job to pull their own weight. So
I mean, as bad as it is, as bad as

(49:35):
it is, I have no tears for people whom benefits
has ended today. It's a shame that twenty four to
twenty five percent of people that actually are in need

(49:57):
of it won't be able to get it. But what
I would like to see happen is limitations being placed
on every entitlement, on every government funded, taxpayer funded, and
my apologies, on every taxpayer funded welfare type of thing.

(50:24):
There needs to be limitations, There needs to be restrictions
because it was never intended. None of this was intended
to just allow people to sit at home play video games,
making TikTok videos, YouTube videos, twitch videos. You know, it

(50:45):
was never intended for that. It was to help people
in need get back on their feet. That's what it
was intended to do, to fill in the gap whenever
you had a hard time, so that this way you
didn't necessarily go without and risk your life. That's what
it was intended to do. It never was intended to

(51:06):
be a replacement for you going out getting a job
and earning for yourself. That's the bottom line. So there
needs to be restrictions, there needs to be limitations, and
it's like, okay, if you're not going to if you're
not going to go get a job and start fending
for yourself, then you're no longer receiving this. I was

(51:28):
listening to a Voice of the Workingman podcast VOTWM dot com.
If I want to go ahead and check him out,
I highly recommend it. It's an excellent podcast. But Matt
Locke hosts that. No, not the same Matt Locke that
is on TV and plays a really good lawyer. Not
the same guy, but Matt Locke over a Voice of

(51:48):
the Workingman podcast. He said something, or he repeated something
that his grandfather once told him. I'm going to paraphrase
this because I don't remember exactly how he worded it,
exactly what he says. I don't remember, I don't recall.

(52:10):
Nothing motivates people like hunger. Nothing motivates people like hunger.
When these people are no longer getting assistance from government
to put food on their table and they start getting hungry,

(52:34):
then they'll go out and get a job. They'll start
providing for themselves, because pain is an excellent motivator. You

(52:57):
want these people to contribute to society. You want these
people to stop being a drain. You want these people
to get off their dead ass and get a job.
And if you're actually trying, and you're making a legitimate
effort and you need a little assistance, I'm fine with that.

(53:20):
If you're making a noble effort, great good for you.
I commend you for that. You need a little help, okay, fine,
But to have the attitude that the world owes you
a living, to allow you to sit on your ass
and do nothing, that is no. I'm not going to

(53:42):
support it. I'm not going to defend it. I'm not
going to cry any tears. When you can't go to
the store spend my money to feed yourself, I ain't
going to do it. Day patientia goes. Our tax dollars
should be going to infrastructure, roads, just buildings and transportation.
It should be going to law enforcement, fire protection, and hospitals.

(54:06):
Absolute freaking lutely, absolutely couldn't agree more. You want these
people to get up and get a job, stop feeding them.
That'll solve the problem. It really will. I remember watching

(54:33):
a cartoon back in the day. I'm, you know, mid forties,
I've got some years on me. I know a thing
or two about a thing or two because I've done
a thing or two. I've been stupid in my youth
then even into my adulthood. That's beside the point. But
there was a cartoon back in the day. It had
a grasshopper some ants in there, and in the summertime,

(54:55):
these ants were working their butt off gathering and preparing
for the winter, and the grasshopper because things were plentiful,
he was like, you know, he was criticizing what the
ants were doing. It's like, dude, you guys are fools.
You guys are idiots. There's food everywhere. It's always going
to be here because it's been here, y'alls and morons

(55:21):
the war, and he sang a song, the world owes
me living. Do do do do do do do? Oh,
the world owes me living. That was a song he sang.
Then winter came, food became scarce. He was cold, he
had no shelter, he was hungry, and he had nothing
to eat, and he was on the verge of death

(55:43):
because of his own stupidity, and what happened. The ants
came in. They brought him into the shelter of their
own home. They warmed him, they got him well, and
they fed him. And at the end of the cartoon

(56:08):
he changed his tune. JFK's famous words ask not what
the country can do for you, but what you can
do for your country. What happened to JFK? Democrats? It's

(56:32):
a legitimate question. Dave put in here he goes he
a very good analogy, excellent analogy. He said, we should
look at money like it's air. If there's a lack

(56:55):
of oxygen, people will feel it and look for where
air is and how to servant. But if we ship
out oxygen to everyone who needs it, then those people
will look will stop looking for air. They're just they're
just sit and wait for the next delivery. Yep. I

(57:15):
like the analogy. That was a very good analogy. I
would like to think that in that story that the
the grasshopper truly did change his ways and didn't just
unfortunately sink back into bad habits the next year and

(57:36):
continue to expect other people to pay their way and
provide for them. But unfortunately, one of the things you're
seeing on on social media, on TikTok on other places,
is you know, and this is one of the things
that really really pisses me off. This is one of
the things that that really makes me like and I

(57:58):
don't care anymore. I'm done caring. Is because you have
you know, these women that just got their nails. Did
they just got their hair? Did they just went to
a spa, They just did this, that and the other.
They paid all this exorbit money, and at the same time,
they're complaining how they're not going to be able to

(58:19):
go and get food for their kids or for themselves,
and they are demanding that money be given to them.
And if they don't get it, then they're going to
go to the store anyway and they are going to
steal it because it is theirs and it belongs to them.
That is the entitlement mindset that infuriates me. It's like, woman,

(58:47):
if you didn't go get your hair, did if you
didn't go get your nails, did if you didn't just
spend two hundred dollars at the salon, maybe you would
have money to feed your kids, Maybe you'd be able
to provide for your yourlf and your family if you
didn't waste your money. But oh no, you want to

(59:07):
have your cake and eat it too. You want to
spend your money on whatever you want to spend your
money on, and you expect, you demand, that the government
provide your basic needs for you. Honey, it don't work
like that. The government is under no obligation to take
care of you. Let me say that again. The government

(59:35):
is under no obligation to take care of you none whatsoever.
You don't believe me, read this, prove me wrong. This
is the Constitution United States of America, very very small document,
the whole thing. It's forty six pages, little bitty booklet tiny,
doesn't take that long to read. Is pretty easy to understand.

(59:57):
Let's take a little bit of time. There is nothing
in the Constitution that demands the government provide anything for
you besides national security, besides a functioning government, besides a

(01:00:20):
republican form of government. That is it, to take care
of your cost of food. It ain't in there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
If a state wants to do it, if a municipality
wants to do it, sure, okay, fine, I'm okay with that.
But the federal government, they're under no obligation nor do
they even have the right to tax for me and

(01:00:54):
give to somebody who refuses to provide for themselves. It
ain't in there. I ain't in the constitution. It does
not exist. Holy crap, I can't believe I'll spend an
hour on that already. Holy crap. We're going to go
ahead and take a quick break. When I return, we
are going to be talking about the shutdown. We're going

(01:01:16):
to talk about, you know, a few different aspects of this,
and even get into the nuclear option that government is
trying or I'm sorry that Trump is trying to exercise
in regards to the government shutdown and snap benefits and
different things that he is working on doing. So all

(01:01:39):
of that in a little bit, So just a few
minutes and I will be right back.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Up.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
This morning, Sun in my.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
Reach from my soda, tell you no, lie, soda.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Soda where to go?

Speaker 3 (01:02:23):
My last came and now I'm so soda sold feeling blue?

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
What's some man supposed to do? Fridge is empty, wall,
it's there.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
This ain't living, This is a sun soda soldat to go?

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
My last can Now I'm slow, so the soul feeling boo.
What some man supposed to do you gotta give myself together.

Speaker 4 (01:03:21):
Gotta find a way they ain't right, Gotta make it
to soda, soda?

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
Where'd you go?

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
My last can?

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
Now I'm slow?

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
So the sua feeling bou what some man supposed to do?

Speaker 4 (01:04:13):
Where'd you go?

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
Sorta sorta.

Speaker 4 (01:04:22):
Feel?

Speaker 1 (01:04:36):
Have you ever had an ailment that a normal over
the counter remedy just couldn't fight? If this is the case,
then boy, have I got the solution for you. It's Tousin.
That's right. Tousin, cough, toussing, cold, Tousin, running nose, tousin, itchy,
watery ice, toussin, broken leg, Toussin. Tussin is the ultimate cure,

(01:04:58):
all guaranteed. This stuff, anything that ails you tossin available
wherever OTC's are sold. All right, and we are back.
So we're going to go ahead and dive right into
this and talk a little bit about the shutdown, because
now we are entering the second month. It has been

(01:05:19):
thirty day thirty two of the shutdown. So there we go.
And on one hand, I don't see an end in
sight for the government shutdown. This is, I believe, like
less than a week away. If it isn't already the

(01:05:41):
longest shutdown in American history. And I'm also going to
play for you something that somebody said on the left
about Republicans holding the nation ransom during a shut down
that happened during his administration. I want you to go

(01:06:06):
ahead and take a listen to that.

Speaker 5 (01:06:10):
If Republicans do not like the law, they can go
through the regular channels and processes to try to change it.
That's why we have elections, so they can go through
the normal processes and procedures of a democracy. But you
do not threaten the full faith and credit of the

(01:06:31):
United States of America shutting down the government just because
you don't.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
Like a law that was passed. I have to say, no,
Congress before this.

Speaker 5 (01:06:42):
One has ever ever in history been irresponsible enough to
threaten uneconomic shutdown, to suggest America not pay its bills
just to try. If I had a blackmail a president into

(01:07:03):
giving them some concessions, I will not negotiate on anything
when it comes to the full faith and credit of
the United States of America. We're not going to submit
to this kind of total irresponsibility. Congress needs to pay
our bills on time. Congress needs to pass a budget
on time. Congress needs to put an end to governing

(01:07:24):
from crisis to crisis.

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
There you have it. That was, of course Barack Obama
a clip from twenty thirteen. That's what he had to
say about what was going on then. And it's amazing

(01:07:53):
how the Democrats have changed their tune because that's exactly
what the Democrats are doing. They're holding government hostage, throwing
a temper tantrum to get their way. And what are
Democrats fighting for? Are they fighting for you? Are they

(01:08:15):
fighting for me? Are they fighting for the American people? No,
they're fighting for illegal aliens. They're fighting for people who
cross the border invading our country to get what they

(01:08:39):
wanted out of government. That's who they're fighting for. They're
fighting for free healthcare to illegal aliens. They're fighting for
free food and snap benefits to be given to illegal aliens.
They are fighting for illegal aliens. They're not fighting for you,
they're not fighting for me. They're holding the government hostage

(01:09:00):
to get what they want because they are pissed off
at how effective President Trump has been. In Trump two
point zero, that's what it amounts to. I mean that
truly is the bottom line. But one of the things

(01:09:22):
that Trump is talking about is ending the government shutdown.
This headline from Newsmax Trump time to go nuclear to
end the government shutdown on One of the things he's
talking about doing on this is ending the filibuster. That's

(01:09:46):
what he's talking about doing, putting an end to the
filibuster period. Now, look, here's the thing. The filibuster has
come and gone over the years. It really has. And
what's amazing is you can always tell when the government
is going to in the filibuster and when it's going

(01:10:07):
to start utilizing the filibuster again. You can always tell
whenever that's about ready to happen. Because the Democrats love
the filibuster when they're not in the majority, and they
hate the filibuster when they are in the majority. And

(01:10:29):
every single time the filibuster ruling has swapped has been
whenever Democrats come into or leave power. That's when they've
changed the rules every single time. Look it up. It's amazing.
It's amazing to see the causality of the filibuster ruling

(01:10:54):
whenever Republicans are in power versus when Democrats are in power.
It's very telling. And again, it's about control, it's about
holding the nation hostage. It's the same reason. But even
though I okay, look, here's the thing. I know, President

(01:11:23):
Trump has the best of intentions in mind, of course
he does. You know, he's trying to put an end
to the shutdown and get the government funded again to
pay for those people who deserve a paycheck because they're
going to work every day to get these snap benefits

(01:11:45):
getting paid for. So that this way, you know, the
the twenty four to twenty five percent of the American
people who actually do depend on it and rely on
it to get them their entitlements. I'm going to use
that word. Thank you, Dave. Continue to use that word.
That's what the President is trying to do, so you

(01:12:11):
understand why he wants to do. But the bottom line
is the President is not a member of Congress. He
has no authority nor power to force Congress the Senate
to get rid of the philibuster. Because I mean, you know, really,
here's the bottom line, and I'm going to be honest

(01:12:31):
with you. In all cases, I am actually for the
filibuster because the whole point of the filibuster is to
it's to throw a wrench in Senate moving too quickly.
You know, Senate is supposed to be a place for debate.

(01:12:51):
It's supposed to be a place where people talk about
the issues, where they talk about things going on, and
they make a decision based off of what is best
for the nation. That's what the whole point of it is.

(01:13:13):
So I mean, you know, pro Republican, anti Republican, that's
not really a factor for me. That's the point of
the Senate. The Senate has a job to do. They
are supposed to pre seventeenth Amendment. They were supposed to
represent the states in national affairs. That's what the Senate was.

(01:13:36):
That's why there's two per state. No state has more
representation than another. It isn't based off of population of
each state. Every state is equal because the Senate was
to represent the state on the national stage in the
federal government. That's what the whole point was. So the
filibuster is a a tactic that can be used to

(01:14:01):
slow down any voting in order to force a debate
on the issues that they're talking about. That's that's what
the whole point is. But the President, like I said,
he has no power, He has no authority to force
to to demand that the Senate in the filibusterer I'm sorry,

(01:14:23):
but he doesn't. He just doesn't. Three separate, equal branches
of government. The president has no authority, has no power.
I'm just he's just he doesn't. So I'm not for
the President on this, on this motion, on what it
is that he's trying to do, that is not what

(01:14:49):
I care about. I guess a second tired of pop ups.

(01:15:14):
So there you go. Trump is trying to compel the
Senate to get rid of the filibuster to allow the
government to be funded, at least for a time, and
I believe the number is up to thirteen different times

(01:15:36):
that the Democrats in DC has voted against anything that
will even temporarily fund the government. They have refused. And
in a honesty, I've heard people say that they really
do think that that the shutdown will end soon. They

(01:15:58):
some of them do believe this because they think that
especially with the you know, with SNAP funding coming to
an end, assuming that the President has no authority to
do anything about it. And in which case, I mean
like if I was, in considering the the fraud and
abuse in the SNAP program, I leave it alone. I
wouldn't even fight for it. I'm just gonna be honest

(01:16:19):
with you, and I know that sucks for the you know,
for the twenty four to twenty five percent of the
people whom do need it, do depend on it and
are not purposely gaining the system. I understand that that's
going to suck for them. But at the same time,
with all of the abuse, if I was a president, Nope,

(01:16:39):
I wouldn't fight for it whatsoever, not at all. Hell no,
let it go for for as long as it needs to.
Because this isn't the Trump shut down. This is the
Shumer s shut down. Got an airplane going over. This

(01:17:01):
isn't the Trump shutdown. This is the Shumer shutdown. What
I have heard other people talk about is that after
this weekend, and you know, going into next week with
benefits ending in SNAP, that you are going to see

(01:17:26):
a lot. I mean, you've got potential for a lot
of bad things that start happening. You really do. Nationwide
in every major city, you guys have potential for a
lot of bad things going on because there's enough people
out there and you know, like I've already talked about,
you can watch them over on TikTok, social media and
elsewhere that they feel as though it is the government's

(01:17:48):
job to provide for them that they are entitled to
these benefits, and they have even talked about going in
and robbing stores to get what they feel they deserve
and belongs to them anyway. So I mean, you may

(01:18:09):
end up seeing some very bad things happen in grocery stores,
especially in cities nationwide. So be careful, be mindful, be
careful about going into these various places. Very much so.
But if you do see this type of thing happen,

(01:18:30):
I think that the pressure is going to be on
for the Democrats. I really do, especially considering a huge
majority of the people that are on SNAP benefits. And look,
this isn't an accusation against anybody. This isn't to make
anybody feel bad about being in times of need. It

(01:18:55):
really isn't. I don't want you to get me wrong
on that, but I mean, and let's be honest, the
majority of the people who are receiving SNAP benefits are
supporters of the Democrat Party. I've seen a post on

(01:19:16):
X you know, and it was, you know, why aren't
Republicans up in arms about Snap benefits coming to an end?
And I mean, the most prom prominent response is on
that amount of tude because We go to work every
day and we provide for ourselves. We don't depend on

(01:19:36):
government to provide for us. And it's like, yeah, again,
nothing against those who find themselves in need and need
that extra help and support. Nothing against them. I'm not,
you know, trying to call you out for that. However,
if it does push you to, you know, go out,

(01:19:57):
get a job, work harder there you go to get
off your dead ass and just expect the government to
provide for you and not do anything in return. Well, great,
good unintended consequence that I'm off for and you know,
completely support staring out out there. Anyway, Moving on this
headline I cannot read because it's at the New York Times,

(01:20:21):
and I don't know why I keep trying to go
to the New York Times. But this headline says Judge
permanently bars Trump from requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. See,
that's one of the things that President Trump is talking
about doing, especially in the upcoming midterm twenty twenty six election,

(01:20:42):
and then obviously and of course in twenty twenty eight
he is talking about a nationwide laws for voter registration.
And of which case I don't understand this headline from

(01:21:06):
the New York Times, much like the very first article
that I talked about in the show. Maybe it wasn't
the very first article. Nope, it wasn't the first article.
It was down there a little bit, but it was on.
It was regarding immigration. The President Trump is just trying

(01:21:29):
to enforce the law. It's already illegal for non citizens
to vote in federal elections. It's illegal. So why is
it that a judge is saying that, oh, Trump can't
require proof of citizenship for voter registration? How do they

(01:21:54):
have the balls to try to say something like that.
The Epoch Times even has a similar article, Trump can't
require proof of citizenship for voters. This article came out
yesterday US District District Judge Coaleen something or another, I
don't even care. You can check out the article over

(01:22:16):
there by going to the ho Host Show at dot com,
click on the newsfeedtab and you'll see the magazine over
there on flipboard for today's date, eleven one five. But
that to me just seems absolutely ridiculous, right, I mean,
it really do it? It really does. That's like telling
a cop when when executing a traffic stop, telling the

(01:22:43):
cop that you can't ask for a driver's license or
proof of insurance or vehicle registration. You cannot do that.
I mean, if you got pulled over for a legitimate
reason and the police officers is conducting his investigation to

(01:23:05):
write you a ticket to hold you accountable for breaking
the law, that's like telling a cop that you can't
do that. You can't force a driver to provide the
minimum required documents to prove that you belong on the roadway. Again,

(01:23:27):
if you weren't breaking the law in the first place,
then you wouldn't have gotten pulled over. Right, Like I said,
a legitimate reason for pulling somebody over? How ridiculous and stupid?
Does that sound pretty steak and stupid. I've been pulled
over a time or two in my day for doing
stupid shit. Absolutely, I acknowledge it the officer in that situation.

(01:23:53):
Whenever I broke the law, whenever I does something I
wasn't supposed to do. When I ran a stop sign,
when I was speeding, when I was swerving all over
the road and I had a hard time coloring between
the lines, he had every right to pull me over
and then in turn ask me for my ID to
prove that I've done the minimum required for me to

(01:24:14):
be on the road, and that does get a legal
driver's license, a legal driver's license, that I have, the insurance,
that I have the registration, that the vehicle is legal
to be on the road. How is that any different

(01:24:35):
than this. It's already illegal for you to vote. There
is a lot of people that violate that. Here's an
article from the Washington Examiner. Forty one thousand Wisconsin voter

(01:25:01):
registrations don't match driver ID database. And they are trying
to tell us that fraud does not exist. Right, we
know fraud exists. And really, I mean here's the thing.
You know, if fraud doesn't exist, or if it's so
minute that it wouldn't actually change the direction of an election,

(01:25:24):
then why are Democrats so hell bent on stopping voter ID.
I mean, that's the minimum thing that Republicans out there
nationwide are calling for in order to ensure a free
and fair election that has integrity. I mean, if you

(01:25:45):
don't believe in the integrity of your election, then how
long is a democracy which we don't have. We are
a constitutional republic, But how long is that going to last?
The entry is not very long. If the fraudulent votes

(01:26:07):
are so minute that it doesn't matter, then why are
Democrats afraid an outright against voter id How can a
judge say, you can't do anything to enforce the federal
voting laws, which is well within the president's right to

(01:26:30):
ensure that they are going on to make sure he
is providing the form of republic and government that the
Constitution ensures that we will have. He's enforcing the law.
And yet you have Democrat judges out there going, oh,

(01:26:54):
you can't do that, judges, he can't do it. He
can't make sure that the laws are being enforced and obeyed.
You know, just like as I was saying with you know,
president Trump not having the power and authority to demand

(01:27:15):
to force the Senate to end the filibuster, these judges
has no power or authority because you know, one they
are of a lesser court, not the Supreme Court. And two,
oh yeah, by the way, they're not one of the
three separate, equal branches of government. They don't have the
power to do anything to force Trump to stop doing

(01:27:44):
his constitutional job, because isn't that what this is. It's
his job to ensure that the laws of the land
are executed. Just so you know, that's the whole definition
of the Exacts Executive Branch. Hello, people, I mean the

(01:28:08):
gall on these on these different judges absolutely astonishes me.
It really does. And since i'm on the uh, you know,
different judges. Here is an article from the Federalist headline

(01:28:37):
Boseburg senate spying gag order violated federal law and he's
actually at risk of getting impeached. I love this, I
really do. This is the same judge. Check him out.
You know, he's one of many low court judges who

(01:28:57):
have shown themselves to be a lawless political actors whose
jurisprudence I don't even know if that's a word, but
it sounds good, is hostile to a functioning republic. Judge
James Bosberg, the lawfair fanatics, serving as the chief judge

(01:29:17):
of the US District District Court in DC, issued in
order intended to conceal the Biden administration's attempted seizure of
Senator Ted Cruz's phone records, and doing so, it appears
he likely violated federal law. The federal law is scrolling
downs like two USC. I think yeah, two USC. Six

(01:29:39):
six two eight is the federal law which is an
ethics thing. It makes it federal law in order to yeah,
here we go, notwithstanding any other provision of law or
rule of civil or criminal prudence. The office of the SAA,

(01:30:03):
Senate Sergeant at Arms, any officer, employee or agent of
the office of whatever, it says that they have to
be notified of any anything that is you know, getting
it's full disclosure. That's what it amounts to. That's what
two USC is. And what the judge said is that

(01:30:28):
you know, this was regarding to the Biden Department of
Justice whenever they try to seize ted Cruz's and others
cell phone communications. According to the Senator, and Bosberg signed
off on a non disclosure gag order on AT and
T that would have kept the telecommunications company from notifying

(01:30:49):
Cruise of the seizure for at least a year. According
to according to Bosberg's order obtained by Cruise, the court
finds reasonable grounds to believe that such disclosure will result
in destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses,
and serious jeopardy to the investigation. Now, I know that

(01:31:11):
may sound all good, and you know, but there's zero
evidence to conclude that Ted would that Ted Cruz would
have done that. And you know, here's one of the
aspects of this that they didn't really mention in here.
But this gag order was not just quite possibly, but

(01:31:37):
highly probable that it was regarding his government issued phone.
And of which case, it's already illegal for him to
destroy different communications and all of this stuff, just so
you know, is kind of stored anyway by the service provider,

(01:32:05):
call logs, text messages and whatnot. And of which case,
if he would have deleted that could have been construed
as destruction of evidence, which is already illegal. And Cruz
is talking about impeaching Bosberg for violating the law and

(01:32:30):
demanding the AT and T have a gag order on
them trying to retrieve evidence. I'm off for it. These
lesser judges needs to be put in their place. Fourth Wit,

(01:32:55):
they have a holier than thou type of thing. They
have my shit, don't stink attitude. They have an I'm
untouchable attitude that I can do anything I damn well please.
And of which case, no, you can't. Just like any
other office in government, including the President, including Congress, including

(01:33:20):
the Supreme Court, you have a lane that you're supposed
to stay in. And whenever you go outside your lane,
whenever you make rulings that you do not have the
authority to do, then it doesn't have to be followed.
I mean, really, here's a ridiculous aspect of this. It's
a Supreme Court for a reason. They are the highest
court of the land. It is ruling by the majority

(01:33:48):
of the Supreme Court justices. But the only court that
can overturn a Supreme Court ruling is the Supreme Court.

(01:34:13):
The only person whom can overturn an executive order that
doesn't get challenged in the Supreme Court is the President
of the United States of America. The only people who
can overturn a law that has been found to be
constitutional is Congress. All it takes is a different judge

(01:34:41):
to rule differently on Bosberg's ruling to render it ineffective, because,
I mean, if two Federal Court judges has different rulings
regarding the same stinking issue, it can't be a nationwide anything.
Because here's the thing that is illegal. You can't do.

(01:35:03):
You can't have a nationwide injunction, especially to stop the
president happen within federal court. They are a lesser Court.
They don't have the power and authority to tell the
tell the the sitting president what they are and are
not going to do what they can and cannot do.
They ain't got the authority to do that. Are they
on par with the Supreme Court? Do they? Are they
one of the separate pardicual branches of government. No, it's

(01:35:26):
a lesser court. That's like a governor, a mayor, a
town aldermen telling the president of the United States of
America what they can and cannot do regarding foreign policy.
It's not their job, it's not in their lane. They
can't do anything about it. Period. These federal judges needs

(01:35:49):
to be docked down at Peger two to be explained
to them what their place is. They ain't got the authority.
They can't do that. And I am all for this
Bosberg being taken back a peg or two. Impeach him,
make an example out of him, Tell the rest of
the judges out there that, look, do your job. He

(01:36:11):
ain't untouchable. Well yeah, and by the way, there's actually
nothing in the Constitution that says these appointments, whether it
be Supreme Court or any other judge, that is just
a lifetime appointment there's nothing in the Constitution that defends that,
that supports that, nothing that they serve during time of

(01:36:37):
good behavior. I mean, that really is the most that
says about it. That's it. So, I mean they're failing
to do the job as they're supposed to be doing.
Then Congress can impeach them, get rid of them, kick
them out office. And they should be doing it. They
should be exercising this ability impeaching of these judges way

(01:37:00):
more often than what they do. And patrim just just
throwing out out there. Okay, so let me see, let
me get into here and see if there is anything
else that I'm really wanting to talk about. We are
coming to the end of the program to do Do

(01:37:23):
Do Do. Oh, yeah, let's talk about this one because
I'll tell you what I am. Oh, that's another good one. Nope,
let's do this one. So I am curious about what
is going to happen in twenty twenty eight. I really am.

(01:37:46):
Whenever it comes to the nominee, whenever it comes to
whom is going to be on the Republican ticket, who's
going to be on the Democrat ticket, It really, it
really does interest me because here's the thing, Okay, here,
here's the fact of the matter, all right. The Republican
Party has a bench, and it is packed full of

(01:38:11):
people that are qualified and capable of doing a good job.
Trump joked not that long ago, of a of a JD.
Vance and Marco Rubio ticket. I think it was Marco Rubio. Yeah,
I'm pretty sure saying that that would be an excellent ticket.

(01:38:32):
We've got all kinds of people who could do the
job well effectively, and you know, even carry on the
Maga torch, several people that can do it. We are
not hurting for people to put out there in the

(01:38:53):
primary for twenty twenty eight. We're not. But if you
look at the Democrat Party, they can't say the same thing.
They can't they can't say the same thing at all.
You've got Gavin Newsom, JB. Pritchker, you got Kamala Harris,

(01:39:22):
Pete Buddha, Jeedge, Gretchen Whitmore, alexandri Acassio, Cortez, Cory Booker,
Amy Klobachar, people whom have done a piss poor job

(01:39:43):
in the positions that they've already had, that are running
their stay into the dirt, that refuse to enforce federal law,
and yet you're going to consider them to be president
of the United States of America like JB. Pritzker, Are you

(01:40:04):
kidding me? Well, what makes you think that he's going
to try that he's going to enforce federal law immigration law?
He's refusing to do it in Illinois as governor? Are
you kidding me? Pete Buddhajet, You couldn't tell his ass
from the hole in the ground or a roadway. I
mean it just the guy was. He didn't do a

(01:40:29):
very good job at his own job. And the question
really is, you know, even with Gavin Newsom, the question
is who does the Democrats have on the bench? They
ain't got anybody nobody worth voting for. So I've seen
this article on justinnews dot com with Newsom and Kamalas

(01:40:51):
showing interest in a run for White House in twenty
twenty eight. Who will the nominee be? And apparently, yeah,
these two people are talking about running on a ticket,
you know, And and the question is that was asked
in this article was who's going to be at the

(01:41:13):
top of the ticket? You know, is it going to
be Kamala Harris or is it going to be JB. Pritzker,
you know. And the funny thing is, I don't see
either one of them necessarily stepping down for the for
the other. You know, Kamala Harris isn't going to put
aside her political aspirations to be number two for anybody else. JB. Pritzker,

(01:41:41):
the same thing goes for him. I mean, maybe you
may see it's a her turn kind of a thing.
And JB. Pritzker does, you know, allowed to become VP
in hopes that the next time he'll have a chance
of becoming president. I mean there's that possibility, sure, but
have you looked at his aspirations what he wants to do.

(01:42:07):
I mean, I don't see either one of these two
doing a graceful bowowt to allow bow wow, oh my god,
to allow the any of the other ones, anybody else
on the ticket during the primary to just you know,
take that leap forward. I mean it's going to be
a battle. I mean it really is. And in all honesty,
especially whenever you compare it to a JD. Vance ticket,

(01:42:36):
and I one, I don't necessarily see jd Vance taking
a doing a bad job at picking a running mate.
I just don't. I think he has an idea. I
think this is something he's been thinking about for a while.
And he still has quite a bit of time before
he has to focus on, you know, the election anyway,

(01:42:59):
So I mean, he's got time, but I don't necessarily
see him picking somebody that isn't going to help him
on the ticket. And regardless of that, I don't see
him as having any kind of problem winning the primary
for the Republican ticket. I don't see that being an issue.

(01:43:24):
Day put in her, he goes Kamala is poison. She's dead, way,
absolutely she is, But jd Vance is not. I mean,
in all honesty, I would Okay, I look again, there's
a lot of options out there, a lot of good options.
And this isn't to discredit anybody whom wishes to throw

(01:43:48):
their hat into the ring for the you know, to
be the head of the Republican ticket for twenty twenty eight.
Isn't to discredit or discourage anybody. But here's the bottom line.
This is the truth, like it or hate it, whenever
it comes to the twenty twenty eight presidential race, this

(01:44:11):
is jd Vance's ticket to lose. It's his already, He's
proven himself competent time and time again. He's proven himself
as a bulldog who will fight for the American people,
for the conservative agenda. He's already proven himself it's his

(01:44:37):
to win or lose. And that's just that's very much
how I see it. I mean, how do you see it?
Do you think that this is JD Vance's presidency to
lose or win? And I really don't see anybody that
the Democrats throw at the top of the ticket to
actually be able to special looking at everything really threatening

(01:45:03):
JD Vance's ability to become the president, especially if Republicans
are able to do a lot of the things that
they're trying to do, you know, deport these illegal aliens.
I mean, the biggest thing that the Democrats are trying
to do right now is basically redraw every single election
map to give them as big of a benefit as possible.

(01:45:27):
I mean, that's really what they're trying to do. Virginia
is another one is trying to do that right now.
Day puts in here and goes Kamala is struggling to
stay relevant. She she will eat herself slowly every day
and every way when she speaks and shows up everywhere. Yeah,
will the Democrat Party give her any more money. I

(01:45:52):
that's a good question. I mean, it really is. But
in a lot of though, I mean, here, here's my
honest opinion on it. With Kamala Harris being on the
ticket anyplace, whether it be as the VP or whether

(01:46:14):
it be as the president, I don't necessarily see her
being able to get any funding in the in the
nominee process, you know, in the primary process, I don't
really see her being able to get any funding whatsoever.
She got less than one percent in twenty what was that,

(01:46:40):
twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, maybe it was twenty twenty. She
got less than one percent during the primary process. The
Democrat Party did not want her. She was installed as
the DEI that's exactly what she was. And she did

(01:47:05):
not prove herself capable of doing the job during the
you know, during her time as VP, she didn't prove
herself capable of even running for president for twenty twenty four.
She did a horrible job, you know. Now, I mean

(01:47:26):
that's not to say that if she does somehow ain't
got a victory in the primary, that she wouldn't have
the support of those big dollar, big ticket donors. I mean,
I absolutely do believe that she would. But at the
same time, during the primary process, I don't see her
getting anywhere. I just don't, I really don't. She's proven

(01:47:49):
herself a waste of space. She's incompetent, she's unqualified, she
was a DEI hire, And especially whenever you weigh her
against Gavin Newsom JB. Pritzker, who has way more support
than she does. Already, this early in the process, I

(01:48:15):
don't see her making any significant headway whatsoever. I just don't.
Especially in the primary process, I don't see it happening.
I mean not. Let's not forget. She did not win
anything during the twenty twenty four election. She was placed

(01:48:41):
there by leaders of the Democrat Party. She didn't win
a primary. She was placed there, and like I said,
one less than one percent of the Democrats voted for
her during you know, during polling during the primary process,

(01:49:09):
DeSantis may run. Yeah, I mean, I see him making
another another play at it. You know, that's kind of
like a maybe. That's kind of a maybe. I mean,
I could. I wouldn't be surprised either way how that

(01:49:30):
ends up happening. But I'm going to be honest with you.
I don't necessarily think he's going to try. I don't
think he's going to try it this time. I really don't.
You know, Ron DeSantis makes an awesome governor, but you know,
he tried to go up against Trump and he did

(01:49:50):
not have the charisma. He did not have. He just
he didn't have it, especially going going up against Trump
and him doing that with the you know, the never
Trumpers and the never Desantuses, you know, I mean, he
he didn't at the end of that, when the dust cleared,

(01:50:14):
he didn't look good afterwards. He lost a lot of
political mh during that primary process. You know. As a governor,
he does a great job. But I think that the
writing is on the wall already on who the next

(01:50:36):
nominee is going to be. And if he does end
up getting in, it'll be for a short time to
try to get a VP nomination, and that's going to
be about it. I don't see him making, you know,
trying to do it, to go the distance against JD. Vans,

(01:50:57):
because if he does it, if he tries, and if
he fails for a second time, it is going to
be the end, not necessarily the end of his political career,
but it's definitely going to be the end of his
presidential aspirations. He's not. I don't see him being able
to recover from that. I really don't. You know, he's

(01:51:19):
still a relatively young guy. He's got plenty of time.
Let JD. Vance take his place, and then, you know,
maybe he can try again later. I think that for
him would be the absolute best bet as a governor.
He's great, but I don't see him going the distance
with JD. Vance doing the same type of campaign that

(01:51:44):
he did against President Trump. I don't see him trying
to do that and his aspirations surviving that. I just
don't see it. Could I be wrong, absolutely, I could
absolutely be wrong. Maybe he'll surprise me, maybe he'll try.

(01:52:11):
You know, you could be right on that, Dave. He
puts in here, he goes she will slowly disappear over
the next three years. I believe that she will be
kept alive more by the conservative media than by the
mainstream media. You know, you very much could be right
on that, because I mean, she's you know, she is
not a she's not a front runner. She's not I mean,

(01:52:35):
she's not even on the board. She's not even in
the top five. She doesn't have a chance. And I
really do think that most people, most people acknowledge that
even her book is a major flop. You're right. I
mean she truly has no chance whatsoever. And I mean really,
her making another attempt is going to destroy her political

(01:52:59):
the Her trying again is going to absolutely destroy her
political career. She would have a hard time even getting
elected to dog Catcher if she tries it again. I
think if she tries, she will be so so humiliated.

(01:53:23):
I think it'll be ridiculous, and I really do think
that it'll end up getting, you know, being worse for
her if she does try again, then if she just
quietly fades in the background, which is what she should do,
absolutely all right, let me go ahead and take a
quick look in here to see if there is anything

(01:53:45):
else that I'm wanting to talk about before we close
down the show. Nope, that looks like that pretty well,
pretty well covers it. All right, So that is all
I got for you for y'all today. That is it.
Do me a great big favor and head on over
to stinkpickle dot com That is s t I n
K p I k l E dot com. Pick yourself

(01:54:05):
up some merch That is the best way to support
the channel. Dave puts in. He goes, they should put
DeSantis in the cabinet somewhere. You know that I would.
I would absolutely support that one. I think he would
be a good, a great cabinet pick I really do.
He's got a good head on his shoulders. He is
very smart, very very intelligent. He would be a great

(01:54:29):
cabinet member. He really would be that one. I completely
agree with he. He should do that. Get his foot
in the door, you know, maybe earn maybe earn the
the the respect of the Republican Party conservatives, you know,
on on a national scale, and performing well in the

(01:54:53):
cabinet position could very much help him on you know,
running for president later on in his career can very
much help him. So anyway, that's all I got for
us today. You have yourself a great one, and I
will see you in the next one. This has been
the Ho Ho Show.
