Speaker 3 (01:44):
My God is really really special and I love my
dad law.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
I'm proud of him and that even though he isn't
here with us, but he died as a true hero.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
I much everything about him.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
And the moment that the officers and I had to
come see the children, my biggest reaction was, I don't
have seven arms. I have seven children who just lost
their father, and I don't have seven arms to wrap
around them.

Speaker 6 (02:18):
I'm Frank Sola, chairman of the steven Sila Tunnel to
Talis Foundation. Our foundation is committed to delivering mortgage free
homes for gold Star families and fall and first respond
to families.

Speaker 7 (02:29):
To not have to worry financially is a huge peace
of mind. The thought of what in the world will
I possibly do to pay the bills? How will I
possibly let the children have a life that feels normal.

Speaker 8 (02:41):
I don't want them to have to quit their piano
lessons or their basketball.

Speaker 7 (02:44):
I don't want them to feel that we have to
move into a little apartment and struggle financially.

Speaker 8 (02:48):
In addition to the emotional.

Speaker 9 (02:50):
Weight, there are one thousand families that need our help.
Punel to Talis is honoring those heroes that risk their
lives by providing them with mortgage free homes.

Speaker 7 (02:59):
Those who so of us and then lay down their
lives protecting our freedoms and our safety. The least we
can do is eleven dollars a month to give them
that piece of always knowing there's a home. There's that
sanctuary when life feels like it's been tipped upside down,
because it has when you lose a parent in the
line of duty, to know you can go home, you
can be safe, there's no risk of losing your home.

(03:21):
That's a peace of mind that I can't believe you
can get for eleven.

Speaker 8 (03:24):
Dollars a month.

Speaker 9 (03:25):
I'd like to ask you to contribute eleven dollars a
month to support their efforts.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
Please donate eleven dollars a month by calling one eighth
four four Bravest or visit Tunnel to Towers dot Org.

Speaker 10 (03:50):
Independence. With that declaration, America was born inspired by a
belief in the god given rights of every human being,
that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

(04:12):
Our government was established to secure these rights and for
the good that comes from exercising them. Well, this is
why the founders of our great nation chose independence, as
do we. Hillsdale College accepts no government funding because independence

(04:36):
makes possible the good to which we aspire. Hillsdale College
pursuing truth and defending liberty since eighteen forty four.

but finding a fun and safe way to do it
can really be a challenge.

while teaching them about history and physical fitness. Plus they're
a blast to play with. So next time you're looking

ready to make some memories.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
And welcome into the finally Friday edition of The Rick
Robinson Show. And yes, Zelda, that song is old, but
to you, pretty much anything would be welcome into the show.
Ladies and gentlemen. I hope everybody's having a great Friday morning.
Thank you to those of you that are starting to
show up early. Unfortunately, we're still having a glitch in
the matrix, so I can't see the numbers until I
go look, so please make sure you are liking and

(11:21):
sharing the feeds because ny ure, I think the numbers
go nuts. Plenty of things to talk about, so let's
get started. First thing, I know I've been I've been
doing the monologue thing again. I got it from it
for a while, but lately there's been there's been needs

(11:43):
for monologues. So normally, especially first thing in the morning,
I try to post something funny, humorous, kind of usually
you know, insightful, but yet causes a truckle. I couldn't
do it today cause there's been something that's been on
my heart for the last few days and I haven't
really felt comfortable getting it out there, but I feel

(12:04):
like I'm kind of over that now. So there's lots
of stuff going on with this shooting in Minneapolis. First
of all, I don't know if anybody's talked about it
much yet, but apparently there may or may not have
been an attempt to do the same thing in the
DC area that was thwarted. We may or may not
get into that later today, depending on if it's something
that Brad has on this topic list when we do

(12:26):
the weekend news round up in our three But I
want to say this, you can take my faith and
tell me that I'm insane, and tell me that that
you know, as I hear on social media and on
the interwebs all the time, that I believe in an
imaginary skuy daddy, YadA YadA, YadA, blah blah blah. But
the simple truth is, if you have a faith, then

(12:50):
you can look at everything that's going on in this
country and realize that some of the reason that things
are as bad as they are is because we've let
them get that way, and it's not because of how
you think the Left has taken empathy and weaponized it.
Because you're not empathetic with your fellow man anymore unless

(13:11):
you think exactly like they do, meaning that certain groups
of people can't take care of themselves and we have
to take care of them for them. Now, there has
always been a group widen that net and say, well,
but you don't have the same advantage as I do,

(13:32):
so I need to help you. That is probably the
most racist BS thing that I've ever heard in my life,
and they couch it as compassion. Now, don't get me wrong.
There are people that will in society that will always
need help. That was the same in Jesus's time, it's
the same today. But the idea that people that don't

(13:53):
have some of these problems that keep them from being
able to hold down a job, or even some people
that just decide, I don't want to be part part
of society today, so I'm going to be a vagabond.
That used to be a thing. I mean, let's let's
look at Middle Medieval times in inaccurate fashion. The wondering

(14:16):
minstrels that are romanticized. Those are people that didn't want
didn't want to conform in life, and just wanted to
be able to travel everywhere. And they learned how to
then they enjoyed playing music, so they found a way
to make money and do a little bit here and
there to get what they needed so they could do
what they wanted to do. That's the truth of it.
We have taken all of these things and romanticized them

(14:38):
into like there's something special when no, I mean hell, technically,
what I do today is the same thing. I make
money off of articles that I write. I make money
off of the streams that we put out. I make
money for producing other people's content. That is not a
normal job. But it's because I got tired of feeling

(14:58):
like I was part of the The problem that we
have today, though, is we have the left has weaponized
this idea of conformity. You have to think the way
we think, or you're not one of us. And if
you're not one of us, then you're evil. And you

(15:19):
see this play out over and over and over again.
You've seen it today or this week with the shootings
and the shooting in Minneapolis. Don't talk to me about
thoughts and prayers?

Speaker 23 (15:31):
Really?

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (15:33):
As jad Vance put it, we pray because we believe
God is listening. Some of us pray because we know
God is listening. And is always there, so why not
lean on him in times of trouble, because if you
have something to lean on, you won't be leaning on them. Now,

(15:55):
I will admit I do shows all across the gambit,
and I started a pretty using a show for Koran
Nimick a couple of months ago. Well, I guess it's
what been about three almost four months ago now, and
originally I was only supposed to be the producer. Basically,
the concept of the show is he pulls one of
his favorite books off the shelf that he's made all
kinds of notes in and discusses it with the chat. Well,

(16:17):
eventually he started asking me to input just to help
the show flow a little bit better on the days
that we have to pre record because dude is busy.
So I was like, first, I'm honored, so thank you. Second,
let me see what I can do. So I will
play Devil's advocate on that show. And there are some
things that we've talked about that I do thoroughly believe

(16:40):
because I think there is more to my faith than
what is put in the books, because man has still
had control of those books, and I've watched the things
that Jesus was able to do and read the scriptures
that say we have those same powers within us, and
yet I see nobody being able to exercise them. So
there's obviously disconnect somewhere. So I think there's more to

(17:03):
what we're being told as far as what our faith
is concerned, and I talk about that every week with Corn.
But the one bedrock of my faith is life matters.
What I refuse to do anymore is listen to people
that are sacrificing children on the a on the altar
of ball And if you don't know that's what they're doing,
then you should probably look it up. Telling me how

(17:26):
important children's lives are. You don't get to make that
argument with me, because you're fine with them being slaughtered
in the tens of thousands every single day. You don't
get to make that argument with me. But Rick, But Rick,
that's different because they're not alive. Yet. I knew you

(17:46):
from the day I knitted you together in the womb.
That's a paraphrase, but it's accurate now in Jewish faith,
faith's going all the way back to the KABBALAHVE believe
that the human soul doesn't enter the human body until birth.

(18:07):
I disagree and I think science now backs that up,
because if you've ever watched now that we have the
ability to be able to see things in the microscopic realm,
if you've ever watched an actual conception, you can see
a spark that occurs the moment the sperm breaches the
egg wall. I personally believe that is the spark of

(18:29):
life as well as the spark of spirit. Just because
we have no memory of the time that we were
in there doesn't mean that we weren't actually already in there.
And that's my belief. You can agree, you can disagree.
I don't really care. But that's how Jewish people have
reconciled the idea of abortion. I can't do that. I'm
not telling you you shouldn't have that you can't have one.

(18:51):
I'm telling you you shouldn't, but I'm not telling you
you can't. That's not my decision. I've made that decision
with every child that I've had, and I've had that
discussion with my wives. I have had two wives, both
of them have left me. Apparently, maybe I am the problem.
I will figure that out one of these days, I guess.
And then with my children who are now having children

(19:14):
and made sure that they understood what my beliefs are
and hoping that they had the same ones. So, by
no means am I telling you what you should do,
telling you what my faith dictates that we should all do,
which is find ways to help our fellow man without
expecting anything in return. I see these posts all the time.
Have you ever given money to somebody with the understanding

(19:36):
that you're never going to get it back? Yeah? All
the time, every day whenever I can. And you know what,
I don't care.

Speaker 17 (19:45):
Now.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
I'm not saying there aren't days that I don't get
cranky about it. I'm not saying there aren't days when
I'm like looking at all the things that I'm doing
for people and going, I didn't need to just nothing,
nothing in return, nothing. But you know what, that's not
why I did it. So I have to correct my
mindset when that stuff comes up, because that's not why
I did it. Given it will be given unto you,

(20:06):
pressed down, shaken, and return without measure. I know I'm
paraphrasing today, but you guys get the gest that includes everything,
your time, your talents, your money. Tithing was never just
about money because there didn't used to be money. It

(20:29):
was about giving the first ten percent the best ten percent.
That includes your time, which is why I donate time
all the time. I know that's a weird sentence to say,
and I should have thought of another way to put it,
but it's just the truth. But all of this has
been on my mind this week because we're watching all

(20:49):
of these people fall all over themselves to blame everybody
but the person with the gun. They want to blame
the gun. The gun is an inanimate object. It cannot
pull its own trigger. Test it sometime. If you have one,
pull it off the rack, put it on the ground,
and ask it to start doing tricks. See what happens.
Not very much. They want to blame the weapons. They

(21:14):
want to blame the fact that we are a country
that believes that our citizenry should have access to the
same weapons as our military, because our founding fathers thought
this grand experiment of ours would last about fifty years. Sadly,
I don't think they were very far from the truth
from the truth, because it started metamorphosizing shortly thereafter, and
it isn't really today what they meant it to be
all those years ago. That's a discussion for maybe second

(21:37):
hour if we get into it. But the truth of
this is if you can look at what's happening all
around the country with all of the people that clearly
have hate in their heart, and not blame them because
it's their choices. We have free will. That is one

(21:58):
of the hardest things to make it anybody understand about faith,
because if God is this all powerful, merciful God, why
do bad things happen to good people? Sometimes bad things
happen to good people because He knows they can handle them,
and there are ways that they become messages later. And

(22:19):
this is coming from somebody who should have died about
four or five times over by now, if I start counting,
it probably freaked me out. I don't know why I'm
still here. My assumption is because my work isn't done.
There's a song we sing in church, the church that
I've been going through recently. There's a song that we
sing probably about one service a month, and one of

(22:40):
the lyrics is if I'm not dead, You're not done.
And that's been resonating with me because hell, my house
just tried to kill me a little over a month ago.
You can't see it, but right back here there's an
electrical panel that's had to be replaced. We were having
a short issue, and for the longest time I was
able to things working again because we had an old

(23:02):
style panel. By jiggling a certain thing one day that
stopped working, so mid jiggle, the damn thing blew out
on me while I had the tool that I was
using to jiggle it inside the panel. There's now a
part of that panel fused to the tool. Somehow, I'm
still here. If I'm not dead, you're not done. It's

(23:27):
pretty simple. It's a simple message, but it should resonate
with a lot of you because most of you don't
know why you're here. Most of you have never even
bothered to ask yourself while you're here. While you're here,
you're doing what everybody did, and I did it for
a long time too. Don't forget. I'm the guy who
ran from everything that I thought I was supposed to
do because of fear. And the funny thing is I

(23:50):
started being steered into career paths that made me get
past my fear over and over and over again until
it was no longer an issue. Several years later, I
was associate pastor at a small church and the youth
minister and the music director. Even though that was something
that I ran from all through my college years. It

(24:16):
took not being able to run to stop running. Some
of you know the story. I'm not going into it today,
but I say all of this to you because this
should be a time where our entire country is doing
self reflection and instead we're casting stones. It's not their fault, yeah,

(24:45):
actually it is. And you know what, I'm going to
say something that is not very popular right now, and
if it hurts your feelings, you know where the off
switch is at. It's the parent's fault too, because they
have plainly seen what to almost anyone else with half
a brain is recognized as mental illness. It's actually in

(25:08):
the book. Gender dysphoria is one of the listed mental illnesses.
And we're treating it as if it did something that
should be lauded, not addressed, because well, Rick, you just
don't understand. Some people aren't comfortable in their own skin.
Yeah you know what. I was one of them. I

(25:29):
moved around all the time when I was a kid,
after being in the same place for six years of
my childhood. Actually it was longer than that because we
moved into that house when I was three. My mom
moved us to another state when I was eleven, So
for eight years of my life, I was in the
same place, had the same friends, went to the same school,
was comfortable. Was the guy who was the kid who

(25:51):
anytime they asked me to do anything, I would do it.
If you wanted me to read the class, I would
do it because I had really good reading skills. Then
we started moving all over the country and I started
being made fun of for various different things, including the
way that I talked, because back then I had a
hell of an accent. I didn't realize it because everybody
around me pretty much talked the same way, just like
the people that were making fun of me for my

(26:12):
accent never really realized they had one of their own.
But I started becoming more and more self conscious, and
for a time I even developed a stutter because of it,
because I was rethinking everything that I was trying to say,
trying to make sure that I wasn't laughed at for
the way it came out of my mouth. And it
was something that I had to deal with, and that
was that was what led to the fear path that

(26:33):
I've been on for most of my life is being
ridiculed for being different. It happens to a lot of us,
and it took me a long time to get comfortable
in my own skin again, to the point where there
were times when I would meet people and I would
be the first one to make jokes about the things

(26:55):
that I that I could that I could see in
the mirror that it happened to me along the way.
The lazy eye that wasn't so bad when I was
a kid, so I never bothered to have it corrected,
and then after having three different surgeries and dyeing on
the table twice, deciding I didn't want another one that
I would be fine with, you know, as the song
goes one headlight, but I really wasn't because I would

(27:17):
make I would make fun of myself before anybody else would.
Most of the time, other people didn't even notice, like
the limp that I have now. I'll be honest. I
had to go through a lot of physical therapy as
a kid. I got past most of it, life gave
it back, so I would make jokes before they did,
not realizing that almost nobody really saw me the way

(27:39):
that I saw me. Because I see all the flaws
every day in the mirror. I see all the flaws
every day as I'm getting dressed. I understand how long
it takes, now that I'm fifty two for me to
be able to get out of bed and do the
things that I need to do. I understand how long
it takes until I can approximate normal human walking because

(28:00):
of how long it takes for my legs to go, Oh,
we're doing this again. Okay, cool, let's do this. But
I say all of this to you because this should
be a time when everyone is looking at the world
around them and figuring out how they can make it
a better place without trying to find out what they
get in return. And there's the caveat. If you are

(28:25):
doing good things in hopes of a return on your investment,
you're doing them wrong. And that's why I keep having
to check myself when that creeps in when I help people,
because I will help everyone if I can, to the
detriment of myself sometimes and then I start getting mad

(28:48):
when people don't see it as me going out of
my way to help them, and I have to check
myself for that because that's not what I did it for,
or maybe that's what I want to tell myself that's
not what I did it for. Maybe that's why the
thoughts are creeping back in. I don't know, but I
do check them when they come back in. But our

(29:11):
country is in a mess. We finally have an administration
that's trying to see what can be done about it.
And some of it we're going to be talking about
after the break is all the things that they are
doing that are working despite what the media is telling you,
because you know, while we're watching all of this, and
we're watching all of these people who are mad all
the time, who are mad about the past, who are

(29:33):
mad about now, who are mad about things that have
happened to their ancestors, that live in those moments. We
talked about this yesterday. You cannot live in those moments
of pain. And I'll be honest, it's a sci fi
show gave me this epiphany, And not when I first
watched it either. It was after my divorce when I

(29:55):
found myself basically looking back at everything over and over
and over again and living in those moments. And I
started because and trust me, as somebody that's had counseling
experience and as somebody who went through counseling. I am
well aware that some of what I started doing was
a trauma response because I started watching older shows that
I was familiar with because I was comfortable there and

(30:16):
I knew the outcomes. There were no surprises, and I
didn't realize how bad it had gotten until I tried
to watch something new, and then I got anxious because
I had no idea what was coming next. And I'm like, Okay,
I got to turn this off. And that was in
the beginning of this five year journey of mine figuring
out who I am now that the person that I
considered the rock of my universe wasn't here anymore. Who

(30:39):
I allowed to become the rock of my universe just
for her to rug pull me. That's my fault. I
did that, So now I have to figure that out.
But there's there's a part, and I think it's in
I think it's in the very beginning of the I
think it's in the pilot episode of Deep Space nine
and Benjamin Cisco is the first off service ship that

(31:01):
was attacked at Wull three five nine and his wife
dies in the dies in the attack, and he's never
been able to move past it. At this point, it's
about I think three four years after the attack, and
he finds the wormhole outside of beija out in the
in the system of Beijor, not too far from the
well in the Majordan System, not too far from the

(31:23):
planet of Beijor, and the aliens that are apparently occupying
that space pull him in there and they keep saying
to him because you know, they basically materialize to him
in ways that he can understand. So he's seeing people
that are his friends talking to him, you know, like
robots and things like that, because it's not it's not
really his friends, but they're trying to let him see

(31:44):
them in a way that he can understand. And they
keep pulling him back into those scenes from the Sarahstoga
when it's on fire, and they're like, you exist here.
And that resonated with me because at the time, I
existed in my past. And this is what I'm telling you,

(32:06):
what I talked about yesterday, what I'm talking about today
isn't something that I've just come to lightly. It's something
that I've actually had to live through. If you are
living in those moments, if you are focusing on your
moments of pain, you can't see anything else. They color everything.
All of your experiences, your reaction to the world around you,

(32:27):
the way you see the world around you is tainted
by the fact that you are living in your pain.
And some of us do it on purpose. I was
doing it on purpose. These people that are race baiting
and rage ink baiting, they do it on purpose because
it becomes comfortable. Makes no sense when you think about

(32:52):
it from a rational perspective, but that's the truth. Some
of these people that are so caught up in their anger,
their pain, the past of things that happen been two
hundred years ago or even fifty years ago, that really
have no direct impact on them anymore because we've done
everything we can to try to move past it. They
can't see that because all they see are the one

(33:14):
offs when things go sideways. Never mind the fact that
white folks get beat up by people of other colors
all the time. White folks get murdered by people of
other colors all the time. We could be mad about that.
We could live in those moments, but what good would
it do. It's not a race war. Ain't nobody got

(33:34):
time for that. But that's the truth of it. When
you live in those moments, when all you see are
those moments when you wrap yourself in those moments because
they become comfortable because you recognize them. Not only are
you hurting yourself, you're hurting the world around you. Because

(33:56):
whatever gifts you have, whatever talents you have, whatever reason
you're supposed to be here, wasn't about pushing pain upon
other people. My God doesn't do that. Neither. It is yours.
And whether you like it or not, you have one.
All right. I think I have monologued enough and I

(34:18):
need some coffee anyway, So voices starting to get scratchy?

Speaker 23 (34:23):
Did I mention?

Speaker 1 (34:24):
I've been doing a lot of talking this week, So
let's see what's on the list for today For bumpers,
I'm just gonna pull a dealer's choice moment. Let the
computer decide. Maybe, Actually, you know what I will because
this goes into something I was talking about a moment ago.
My name is Rick Robinson. This is my show music

(34:46):
monologue coming at you. We'll be right back. Stay tuned.

Speaker 26 (35:15):
So long ago, I don't remember when. That's when this
said lost mild.

Speaker 17 (35:22):
Friend said she diasy of a broken heart disease.

Speaker 8 (35:28):
I listened to the cementy re.

Speaker 18 (35:30):
Trees I seen the sun coming up and the funeral
little dog long looking on a human ball.

Speaker 26 (35:50):
That would always seemed such a way. She always had
a play face. I wondered how she hung around from.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
This place.

Speaker 16 (36:09):
Kind of time scout something. She said, it's cool.

Speaker 17 (36:38):
It feels like Independence Day and I can't break away
from this parade.

Speaker 26 (36:46):
But the Scots have been open, mean somewhere here in
front of me through this maze.

Speaker 18 (36:52):
Of ugliness, breed.

Speaker 16 (36:55):
Seeing sound saying all this good and nothing that's dead.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Go mon until she said, I got you, man, and till.

Speaker 17 (37:07):
There's nothing that you agen It's just truly.

Speaker 16 (37:11):
No, lad, it's going.

Speaker 17 (37:31):
My man said, that's the soul feels just like a

(38:02):
data truck at the engine, about the engine in.

Speaker 16 (38:08):
What sounds a cheap one cigarette. This place is always
such a mess.

Speaker 26 (38:13):
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch an after.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
I want to feel just like somebody else.

Speaker 16 (38:22):
Man.

Speaker 17 (38:22):
I ain't changed, but I know why hat the same.

Speaker 26 (38:27):
In somewhere in between the city walls of the dreams,
I think that it must be killing me.

Speaker 16 (38:50):
Stop something.

Speaker 18 (38:56):
The body together, TI.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
And Welcome back into the finally Friday edition of The
Rick Robinson Show Live Writing on Klin ready, you don't forget.
I'll be back tonight starting at eight thirty pm Eastern
with the lovely Aguie Rican for he said, she said.
I'll be pushing buttons tomorrow night for the Front Porch
Forensics crew. Hopefully have a few articles out for Twitchy
by then. Also still working on getting substacks set up

(40:40):
for both my rant page that used to be and
exclusive as I used to say, since we used to
post come directly to x also for the digital beacond.
Hoping to start getting content but out there in the
next few days, trying to get back to one. I'm
not there yet. I'm not there yet. With everything that's
that's been happening over the sun and all the breaks

(41:00):
I've had to take because of illness or taking care
of friends and family and my house trying to kill me.
I've been doing about fifty percent of my workload for
most of the summer, and now I'm trying to get
back to one hundred percent. And I'm looking at all
this going how the hell did I used to do this?
But we're going to figure it out. We're going to
figure it out anyway. I want to think the folks
that are tuning in looks like we're over one hundred already,
which is pretty good for a Friday morning, especially a

(41:22):
holiday weekend. Friday morning. I want, I wish everybody that
is going to be able to partake of such a thing,
a happy, extended three day weekend. I may or may
not do a holiday special of some kind Monday. I
haven't decided yet, but if I do, I will let
you know. So let's talk about this because this is

(41:45):
getting a lot of negative press, and first of all,
I didn't even know what happened. So did you guys
know that Biden's secretly extended Harris's Secret Service protection before
leaving office because vice presidents don't get it forever like
presidents do, at least not usually, so apparently Trump has
revoked it. Let's take a look at this. This is
from our friends at town Hall. This is Leah burkis again.

(42:09):
President Donald Trump provoked former Vice President Kami Lama hamasnik
secret Service protection, with a White House official noting the
vps typically only received the security detail for up to
six months after leaving office, per federal law. Keep in
mind that means that we're now into the almost ninth month.
The six month Mark ended in July, but protection for

(42:30):
Harris was extended by former President Joe Biden before he
left office through a directive that was not publicly disclosed
until now per CNN. Did Biden do it or did
Kami Lama sign it with the auto pen Inquiring minds
want to know, so that is actually the order that
Trump canceled. In this letter titled Memorandum for the Secretary

(42:52):
of Homeland Security m dated Thursday, you were hereby authorized
to discontinue any security related procedures previously authorized by Executive
random beyond those required by law for the following individual,
effective September first, twenty twenty five. Former Vice President Kami
Lama likes the de Harris, the letter reads in full.
The Biden spokesperson declined to comment on what led to

(43:14):
his signing the order extending Harris's protection. But what will
now disappear is not just the agent's assigned to guard
her in person twenty four to seven. Secret Service protection
includes constant analysis of threat intelligence and covering in person situations, emails, text,
and social media. Whether detail canceled, Harris ads are worried
they will lose the same access to threat warnings. The

(43:37):
people familiar with her security operations said her home in
the middle of Los Angeles will also stop being protected
by federal agents. Wait, you mean she's gonna have to
live like the rest of everybody in LA. Well not really,
because she's a millionaire, so it's not like she's not
going to find protection of her own.

Speaker 25 (43:54):
In the end.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Harris's Secret Service protection comes as she is set to
begin a book tour at the end of September for
her new memoir titled One hundred and Seven Days about
her failed presidential campaign. And I added the word failed
because the article didn't have it in there. The Vice
President is grateful to the United States Secret Service for
their professionalism, dedication, and nonwaivering commitment to safety. A senior

(44:15):
advisor to Harris told NBC News on Friday, her Secret
Service protection will officially end on Monday. Hey, look, another
cost saving benefit, just pointing that out. So, Kamala Harris
had her Secret Service protection canceled by President Trump on Thursday.
This is from Paul Asble the Szpula, So super I

(44:38):
think I don't know Trump ended the Kamala Harris's Secret
Service stops on nine to one. I would like to
keep in mind, for everybody who's shrieking and screaming and yelling,
she was only really ever supposed to get it for
six months after she lost the election. So that's something
for all these folks that are screaming and yelling about

(44:59):
how we're wasting money. It's funny how when Trump finds
a wayte to save money, they scream and yell about
that just as much. That's not fair, that's wrong, all right.
So I should have done this first, and I didn't.
We're going to backtrack back to the shooting stuff for
a little bit because a bishop is weighing in and
all this stuff, and it's kind of a doozy. So

(45:22):
this is from Rusty Weiss over at Red State. Following
a deadly shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, make
sure you enunciate the name Annunciation, which killed two children
and injured eighteen others during a morning mass. Mayor Jacob
Fray immediately denounced calls for thoughts and prayers. Frey noted
that the victims were literally praying at the time, which

(45:44):
in my opinion was probably a good thing because at
least we know where they were likely going. Just I
know that's a very dark silver lining, but it is
still a silver lining. Bishop Robert Maron rebuked those remarks
as completely asinine, defending prayer as an essential response to

(46:05):
tragedy that compliments action while highlighting a surge in anti
Christian violence and the attacks apparent anti Catholic motivation. More importantly,
he completely dismantled Prey's argument that prayer during tragedy is
worthless by appointing to Jesus's own crucifixion. Catholics don't think
that prayer magically protects them from all suffering, Baron explained

(46:25):
in comments to Fox News Digital. After all, Jesus prayed
fervently from the cross upon which he was dying at
the time. And this is a quote from the account
itself of Bishop Robert Barron, who I may actually be
going to give a follow at a moment. Friends, this
morning there was a shooting and annunciation Catholic parish in Minneapolis.

(46:45):
Please join me in praying for all those who were
injured or lost their lives, along with their families. Let
us also pray for the students, faculty, and entire parish community.
Baron was responding in particular to Frey, though as Red
State colleague. As Red State writer Bonshi pointed out as well,
countless Democrats responded to the tragedy in Minnesota, and some

(47:06):
of the most evil into praved ways one could imagine.
Pray completely mocked people of faith, stating that prayer did
not save these children, nearly echoing some of the sneering
comments of the lunatics. Who the lunatic who initiated the attack?
And don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers
right now. These kids were literally praying, he said in
a tone menta ridicule. It was the first week of

(47:27):
school and they were in a church. They should be
able to go to school or church in peace, without
the fear of risk of violence, and their parents should
have the same type of assurances. Former Biden White House
Press Secretary Jen Circle Backsaki echoed the same mocking tone,
and I quote, prayer is not freaking enough. Prayer does
not in school shooting. Actually, she says, prayers does not

(47:50):
in school shootings. Funny when we talk that way, we
get mocked. Prayers do not make parents feel safe sending
their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back. Actually,
wrote on next enough with thoughts and prayers. Imagine being
that far gone from God that your instinct is to
denounce Him at all times, at every chance possible, with

(48:11):
every breath, when prayers are needed the most. And I'm
ad libing some of this as I'm writing it, because
it's just her. So the Bishop Rithley points out that
in Jesus's darkest hour, when his faith was put to
the ultimate test, he continued to pray. Prayer is the
raising of the mind and heart to God, which strikes

(48:32):
me is altogether appropriate, precisely at times of great pain.
It should happen more often than that, but we do
often reach out to God in moments of pain. And
this is me and not the Bishop at this point,
which is usually a good starting point, because if there's
something that happens in your life that turns your face
back that way, typically you will stay there at least

(48:54):
for a time. And that's a good thing because we
were never made to be alone. Never Our first and
foremost communion was always supposed to be with the Lord.
Our sin took that ability away. Jesus is now the
bridge back to that ability. Now we can argue about

(49:17):
what God is, but even agnostics believe that that while
they can't put their finger on exactly what created the universe,
something had to have. So he continued to reiterate that
when faith is being tested, prayer is needed. Most we
know that God is all good and all powerful, and

(49:39):
yet we also know that there are wicked people in
the world who do terrible things, and so we must
say that just and merciful God permits some evils so
as to bring about a good that we might not
be able to immediately see. God is faithful in his love,
but the way of his providence are often inscrutable to us.
We also know that in Jesus, God portrays journeyed all

(50:00):
the way to the bottom of our suffering, excepting, as
Saint Paul said, even death death on a cross. We
cannot always understand why God permits evil, but we know
for sure that He accompanies us in our suffering. Now,
while I agree with most everything that is being said here,
I will say this, I don't believe that God permits evil.

(50:24):
The universe was never designed to accommodate evil. It was
us that brought the evil into the world. If you
believe the scriptures, it was us that brought the evil
into the world, and by us, I mean Adam and Eve,
because think about this from a logical perspective for just
a moment. Then I'll try to get away from my pulpit.

(50:45):
Today these two had everything like they had God coming
down and walking and talking with them every day, like
actually having conversations with them and saying, Hey, this is yours.
I'm gonna show you so much that this is yours
that I'm gonna let you name everything here. I only
have two rules. No eating of that one and no

(51:08):
eating of that one over there, because one will give
you knowledge that you're not ready for. The other will
make you live and live forever. And either of those
things are acceptable because you already have a path to forever.
We didn't listen so unfortunately, and and this is taking

(51:30):
into account that I understand God knew all of this.
That's that's the part that I that I don't think
resonates with enough people because we see time as linear,
you know. And one of the best analogies that I've
heard is we view life as if we are on
the side, we are on the sidelines of a parade,

(51:51):
so we basically see every slice right in front of us,
and then we remember the ones that we can't see
anymore as the parade moves on, and then we're on
to the next one. But God sees the parade from
the blimp, meaning from every moment, from the time the
universe was put into existence. He knew what was going

(52:14):
to happen, and he made us anyway. Think about this
from a human perspective for just a moment, so that
maybe you can finally understand the love that we're talking about.
How many times, as a parent have you looked at
one of your children and said, if I had known

(52:35):
you were going to be this big of an asshole,
you wouldn't be here or raise my hand. I've had
that thought. I've never acted on it, but I've had
it because there are times when you're just exasperated with
your kids because you're trying to do everything for them,
and sometimes they're the most ungrateful little shits possible and

(52:57):
you're just looking at it. If I had known, God knew,
and he did it anyway. He knew all the pain
he was bringing upon himself. He knew that we would
be separated from him in ways that we can barely understand,
and he made us anyway because he always had a

(53:21):
plan now again we can argue about what God is
because I'm not sure there have been too many revisions
to too many books that I'll start from the same places.
And there's parts of Eastern mysticism that were mixed in

(53:42):
with Judaism that aren't there anymore. There's the part in
the Old Testament where Jesus starts where people start asking,
or Jesus asks two people after his baptism, who do
people say that I am? And they start naming off
dead people, which means that at that time the Jewish
people believed in reincarnation or they that wouldn't even occurred
to them. So I'm not saying I have all of

(54:04):
the answers, but I am saying this something or someone
made sure that we existed anyway, despite the fact that
most of the time we were going to disappoint them,
despite the fact that we were going to hurt them
almost every single day, despite the fact that they were
going to have to watch what happened in Minneapolis and
realize that because they put natural laws in place, there

(54:24):
really wasn't going to be too much they were going
to be able to do about those things at the
time and still give us the free will that we
are entitled to, because that's the other part of this
equation that nobody talks about. In order for us to
have free will, God has to take his hands off
of most of the steering wheel. Because if God was
actively in your life every day, if you could see him,

(54:45):
see his fingerprints all over it, and you can if
you look, but if it was enough for everybody to
see them, there would be no free will anymore. Everybody
would just be following him because he's all powerful and
they could see him, and they don't want to go
to Hell. It wouldn't be a choice anymore. That's why
there are natural laws in place. That's why there are
things that happen that we don't understand. But just like

(55:06):
everything else, God finds a way to turn those things
to good and it happens over and over again throughout
our history, even Jesus dying. Think about this from another perspective,
and I've talked about this before. As a human, if
you had the powers that Jesus had, would you have
stayed on the cross? Because I have to admit I've

(55:28):
asked myself that question for over what I mean, I
said the prayer when I was nine, but I consider
myself saved since I was about sixteen. That's when I'm
inant it. So from sixteen to fifty two, I have
asked myself that question probably at least three times a year,
and my answer is always I don't know. Because if

(55:50):
I had the ability to not be on that cross
and not have to go through all that pain and
not have to watch all my friends bawling their eyes
out and my earthly mother bawling her eyes out, would
I do it? And I have to say I don't
know the answer to that question. Still, I would like

(56:11):
to say that I would, especially because I have had
a job where I've had to put my life on
the line and I have in fact had to, you know,
run towards bullets and all those things. So I would
like to think that I had that I would have
the ability and the shall we say, stones to be
able to do that. But I don't know the answer
because I don't know how easy would it have been

(56:33):
for Jesus to say, you know what, f this, I'm out,
y'all are done, snap his fingers, get off the cross,
and just make everybody disappear and be like, sorry, Dad,
I tried, couldn't do it couldn't do it, but he didn't.
God loved us so much that not only did he
make us knowing that we were going to betray him

(56:54):
on a fundamental level, and he knew it. That's the
part that I don't think gets talked about enough. He
was walking with Adam and Eve in the garden and
talking to them as if they were his friends and
his loved ones in a way that we can only
imagine today. And he was doing it still knowing that

(57:18):
that was about to end. But he did it anyway.
Jesus knew his time on earth was limited, but he
did all the things he was required to do to
fulfill prophecy. Anyway, when you look at God from that perspective,

(57:39):
then you understand why prayer matters. Prayer takes you out
of the moment, out of the pain, and puts you
somewhere else because it allows you to lay that pain
at someone else's feet instead of your own. And that's
the truth of what we should be focusing on this week,

(58:01):
especially after children were gunned down in a church in
a church, and most democratic leaders responses were, Christians are stupid.
It's probably why Christians are being shot up in churches,
just pointing out the obvious. All Right, I have been

(58:24):
on this soapbox and behind the pulpit a lot more
than I meant to be, But apparently it was something
that needed to be said. That was the one thing
when I was preparing sermons, I was always I had
my notes and then I let the spirit go elsewhere.
It's happened a lot, so I think today's gonna Today's
been one of those days. We'll see where we go
after the break. Hour two. On the other side, stay tuned.

(58:46):
Still waiting to hear back from Brad, but I think
there's gonna be an hour three news round up. If not,
it may be more Rick's pulpit. I don't know. We'll
bear back. Stay tuned. Hello, friends, you have a moment
so that we may discuss our Lord and Savior minarchy. No, seriously,

(59:11):
I'm just kidding.

My dad is really really special and I love my dad.

Speaker 4 (01:00:52):
Law I'm proud of him, and that even though he
isn't here with us, but he died as a true hero,
how much everything about him.

Speaker 5 (01:01:08):
And the moment that the officers and I had to
come see the children, my biggest reaction was, I don't
have seven arms. I have seven children who just lost
their father, and I don't have seven arms to wrap
around them.

Speaker 6 (01:01:22):
I'm Frank Cla, chairman of the steven Sila Tunnel to
Talis Foundation. Our foundation is committed to delivering mortgage free
homes for gold Star families and fall and first respond
to families.

Speaker 8 (01:01:33):
To not have to worry financially is a huge peace
of mind.

Speaker 7 (01:01:36):
The thought of what in the world will I possibly
do to pay the bills? How will I possibly let
the children have a life that feels normal. I don't
want them to have to quit their piano lessons or
their basketball. I don't want them to feel that we
have to move into a little apartment and struggle financially.

Speaker 8 (01:01:52):
In addition to the emotional.

Speaker 9 (01:01:53):
Weight, there are over one thousand families that need our help.
Tunnel to Taois is honoring those heroes that risk their
lives by providing them with mortgage free homes.

Speaker 7 (01:02:03):
Those who serve us and then lay down their lives
protecting our freedoms and our safety. The least we can
do is eleven dollars a month to give them that
piece of always knowing there's a home. There's that sanctuary
when life feels like it's been tipped upside down, because
it has, when you lose a parent in the line
of duty, to know you can go home, you can
be safe, there's no risk of losing your home. That's

(01:02:25):
a peace of mind that I can't believe you can
get for eleven dollars a month.

Speaker 9 (01:02:28):
I'd like to ask you to contribute eleven dollars a
month to support their efforts.

Speaker 6 (01:02:33):
Please donate eleven dollars a month by calling one eight
four four bravest or visit Tunnel to Towers dot org.

Speaker 10 (01:02:53):
Independent with that declaration, America was born inspired by a
belief in the god given rights of every human being,
that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

(01:03:16):
Our government was established to secure these rights and for
the good that comes from exercising them.

Speaker 16 (01:03:21):
Well.

Speaker 10 (01:03:24):
This is why the founders of our great nation chose independence,
as do we. Hillsdale College accepts no government funding because
independence makes possible the good to which we aspire. Hillsdale

(01:03:44):

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):

The following program contains course language and adult themes Listenery.
Discretion is advised.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
You you have people that.

Speaker 22 (01:05:25):
Are going out and doing a job to defend their communities,
and you know, in the back of the mind of
every one of those officers, one of them might not
be going home. And we have seen I have seen
throughout my career. I have seen it here locally.

Speaker 23 (01:05:42):
Where a police officer.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Didn't go home.

Speaker 22 (01:05:45):
They kissed her loved ones goodbye, and that was the
last time I saw him. And sometimes I don't think
we realize.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
The impact.

Speaker 22 (01:06:02):
That this job is heading her families, little on ourselves.
That's a heavyweight. That's heavyweight, the badge.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
It's gonna be a long another graveyardshift.

Speaker 19 (01:06:18):
As he says goodbye to his wife and kids, it's
been here life, just like his dad's.

Speaker 15 (01:06:30):
Driving away under the weight of the badge. You've seen
it all and it's fifteen years watching my back. Here's
a knife field. Lord knows in aim.

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
No easy task.

Speaker 23 (01:06:54):
Given unsee under the weight of the badge. Swore that all.

Speaker 1 (01:07:03):
To protect dancer purses, heart and soul in the both
those worlds.

Speaker 19 (01:07:12):
Lais life.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
On the line.

Speaker 11 (01:07:18):
Line he walks, he's raise.

Speaker 16 (01:07:22):
Or fun.

Speaker 27 (01:07:26):
Every time he goes on. Always like call me or
text me when you leave, because I just want to
make sure he's okay, because I know that it's a
possibility that he may not be sometime.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
That's the biggest way.

Speaker 27 (01:07:38):
And I feel like a lot of times when he
leaves and I give amahaggat to kissobye, I always hold
on to him for an extra couple of seconds, just because.

Speaker 21 (01:07:48):
He said I'm gonna be And there's just sometimes you
gotta fight, and the truth is nothing true.

Speaker 16 (01:07:57):
Goodies.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
I do it for us.

Speaker 8 (01:08:03):
And I do it for them, and I ain't.

Speaker 16 (01:08:09):
Under the weight of the badge.

Speaker 25 (01:08:12):
So for me, the weight of the badge is the
weight of the pager.

Speaker 8 (01:08:15):
When the tones go off, the emergency comes in, and
you're going.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
And at the end of the day, when we get
done with our careers, we go back home to our families. Well,
who are we returning back to their families? But you
still have to leave and go home and take that
badge off.

Speaker 11 (01:08:32):
But after you've had a long day at work, your
heart is still heavy because of what she's thinking.

Speaker 28 (01:08:38):
When you say the weight of the badge, the weight
of the shield. I was holding a conversation the other night.
We're on standby at a firehouse and talking with the
chief and another department, and we're talking about seeing, I'm going.

Speaker 22 (01:09:06):
Of the band.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
And you a going to buckle.

Speaker 16 (01:09:15):
Under the way.

Speaker 15 (01:09:19):
Of the band.

Speaker 23 (01:09:24):
No, you ain't going to buckle.

Speaker 16 (01:09:27):
Under the ways.

Speaker 1 (01:09:31):
Oh the bed.

Speaker 20 (01:09:40):
It's a sense of service, really, that way is a
sense of service to the people I'm very very hopeful,
and uh, I'm an optimist. I think most of us
are optimists in this job because really we want to
do what's right and what's good for the pe people.

(01:10:00):
And stumble and fall, just get up, dust yourself off,
and you keep moving, because that's what life's about, isn't it.

Speaker 11 (01:10:15):
You know the weight of the badge, you know, because
it's really not that heavy until you put it on,
and then for those guys, it's gotta be incredibly heavy.

Speaker 23 (01:10:25):
List this is the teenager.

Speaker 22 (01:10:26):
This is the teenager.

Speaker 27 (01:10:35):
I'm blessed enough to you know, have two like incredible
daughters that they're like beyond their years.

Speaker 1 (01:10:43):
When X uniform comes off, what do I have? I
have my family.

Speaker 8 (01:10:50):
About it?

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
Now, I really go outside until you what is my
friend enjoyed.

Speaker 29 (01:10:55):
One of my Colorados that came off one of my
Ridin uniforms, and I would like to have George straight
have that as a token of my thank you for
for doing this. Uh song, way to the badge and
also a miniature replica of my.

Speaker 3 (01:11:18):
Badge.

Speaker 29 (01:11:20):
That's like I said, it's small, but it's heavy.

Speaker 30 (01:11:38):
And welcome into this special holiday Fridays and Liverbs Joe
it is Labor Day weekend, and despite what all the
left leaning folks are gonna tell you, I'm not gonna
tell you to thank a union for labor.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
So less you're away a while, we have a communist
holiday in this country anyway. But you know, what are
you gonna do? What are you gonna do? All right,
So into the stuff that has been left on the
floor today so far, because I've been on my soapbox.
But I did find an interesting story. Now I'm trying
to look for again because now I can't seem to

(01:12:16):
find it over here over here. Oh yeah, So I
guess while I'm looking for that one, let's get into
this one. So you guys have heard of all the
up people going on with CDC. There's a part of
this that nobody's telling you. The person that's being fired,
who is refusing to step down after first they said

(01:12:37):
they were gonna resign, then they didn't, so they're like,
find you're fired. She's a big pharma bro. So that's
kind of a big deal. So this is from HHS
dot Gov. Susan Manaraz is no longer director of the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We thank her for
dedicated service to the American people and then it goes
on from there. So White House spokes a spokes person

(01:13:00):
Kush Desai offered as a reasoning for the firing that
Manaras was not aligned with Trump's agenda. She had reportedly
refused to resign after resigning, which I find interesting, well,
allegedly resigning. But the thing about it is the reason
she's being ousted is because they have kind of discovered
that she is a farmer bro and Trump administration don't

(01:13:24):
want none to do with no farmer bros. I'm just saying, oh,
where did that dang's story go? While I was on break?
I don't understand what happened. Where did it go? Dude?

(01:13:56):
I swear there was a news story that I was
going to say talk about regarding Bolton, because everybody that's
been talking about, oh, this is all politically motivated. Apparently
there's new information out that's saying that's that. You know,
there's actually other reasons why they did this thing other
than just retribution. I, for one, after watching the left
do retribution for forever, I'm kind of okay with retribution

(01:14:16):
because the only way they're gonna stop is if we start.
So while I'm looking for that one, let's get into
this one real quick. So you guys remember the whole
funding thing with you know, USAID and all those things,
and how an appeals court said, yeah, you know, he
can go ahead and pull that funding if he wants to.
So the so they did that in they did that.

(01:14:41):
But they are the folks that lost the appeal. Tried
to pull, tried to push for an en bonk, meaning
the full bench from the judges because they usually do
like a three person panel and and then they and
or they can do like they do like the whole thing.
The court said no. So the the DC Circuit Court

(01:15:03):
of Appeals has surprised a lot of folks because, contrary
to expectations, late on Thursday, they denied the plaintiffs petition
for a rehearing on bank or otherwise known as by
the full court in the USAID funding case. This follows
a somewhat stunning win for the Trump administration on the
matter two weeks ago, when the three judge panel of
the court vacated the lower court injunctions regarding USAID funding

(01:15:26):
and the prior two to one decision. The appellate court
held the District Court aired in granting the relief because
the grantees lack a cause of action to press their claims.
They may not bring a free standing constitutional claim if
the underlying alleged violation and claimed authority are statutory. Nor
do the grantees have cause of action under the APA

(01:15:48):
because APA review is precluded by the Impounded Control Act
otherwise known as the ICA, and the grantees may not
reframe this fundamentally statutory dispute as an ultra buyers claim either. Instead,
the Comptroller General may bring suit as authorized by the ICA. Accordingly,
we vacate the part of the district preliminary injunction involving impoundment.

(01:16:13):
So what may not surprise anybody is the plaintiffs in
the consolidated cases filed a petition for rehearing on bank
and sought a stay of the decision, and, as noted
in the prior reporting on this thing, somewhat stalled out
at that point, prompting the Trump administration to take its
case back to the Supreme Court. In light of a
looming deadline regarding fiscal year twenty twenty five appropriations, the

(01:16:36):
DC Circuit issued a series of rulings on Thursday afternoon,
including several correcting or amending the Court's August thirteen opinion.
Most notably, the Court amended the above bolded language to
now read the following new do the grantees have a
case of action to enforce the impoundment to control act
ICA through the APA because the ICA precludes such review

(01:16:58):
and the grantees may not reframe this fundamentally statued story
dispute in an ultra virus claim either. The reframing may
seem a bit murky, but supposition is that it will
be key down the road is the case will inevitably
wind up before the Supreme Court on the mariage, and
the majority of the Circuit Court clearly felt that clarification

(01:17:18):
was warned at the Court's decision to deny rehearing on
the matter is accompanied by a brief concurrence from the
Judge Katsis Henderson, who authored the initial opinion Rowan Walker,
and a rather salty descent from Judge pan who authored
the descent in the initial opinion as well. It's unclear
what this will mean as to the application for the

(01:17:39):
stay filed by the Administration with the Supreme Court on Tuesday,
but presumably it obviates the need for the stay, so
we may see the administration withdraw the application, and I
guess we will find out shortly. But for that to
be coming from the DC Court of Appeals is actually
a little surprising to me. I'm not gonna lie. I

(01:18:02):
I am thoroughly a little shock faced. Thoroughly a little
shocked faced. This is my shocked face, I promise. Anyway, dude,
where is that story? Where did it go?

Speaker 22 (01:18:19):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
I don't know. She was like, oh, there we go
was on? It was under the fold now because everybody's
putting out a bunch of new updates on the shooter.
And I think I've talked about that enough today. So
the John Bolton Reid was politically motivated narrative, Yeah, that
just imploded. So this is from our friends over a
town hall. Matt Vespa is the author, and I need

(01:18:42):
to get back to doing this. Hang on, let me
put out this article so anybody who's following along can
see it. Not to man mentioned the fact that as
I'm using it as a source, I should probably share it.
So that's been done, all right. So former National Security

(01:19:02):
Advisor John Bolton had his home rated by federal agents
last week. Remember when that happened to Trump and he
was all giddy about it. He ain't so giddy this time.
Wonder why it caused us stir among those in the
liberal media who immediately ran with the narrative that this
FBI visit was politically motivated. Bolton is one of President
Trump's most vocal critics. The authoritarian hysteronics. I'm changing the

(01:19:25):
word a little bit that the author used from the
liberal pundit class. We'd deafening, along with some gaslighting about
how Barack Obama and Joe Biden never gave an order
to go after their enemies. Excuse me, this is the
part where we all throw our heads back and the laugh. Now,
now we've learned that the momentum to initiate the eventual

(01:19:48):
rate at the Bolton home started under the Biden administration,
which also hindered the investigation. They could have searched Bolton's
home under Biden, but didn't make sure. Wonder why things
that make you go hm. The investigation into President Trump's
former National security advisor, John R. Bolton began to pick
up momentum during the Biden administration, when US intelligence officials

(01:20:10):
collected information that appeared to show that he had mishandled
classified information appeared to show dude put out classified information
in his book. According to people familiar with the inquiry,
the United States gathered data from an adversarial country's spy service,
including emails with sensitive information that mister Bolton, while still
working in the first Trump administration, appeared to have sent

(01:20:31):
to people close to him on an unclassified system, the
people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss
a sensitive case that remains open. The investigation of mister Bolton,
who has become an ardent critic of the president, burst
back into public view last week when federal agents searched
his Maryland home and his Washington DC office. We're done here.

(01:20:53):
This allegation is that Bolton transmitted sensitive material to his
wife and daughter's emails before he was fired by Trump
in twenty nineteen. An independent magistrate in DC and Maryland
to prove the search warns, no one is above the law. Done,
done done. I kept telling them those words were gonna
come back and bite them in the ass. But that's
the part that they're not talking about. Lucky Loveason in

(01:21:15):
the house. It busy me. Look, you lung time. Welcome
to the show, sir. A great show last night. I
couldn't stay in the chat long because I was working
on other stuff, but I was still listening, and you
did an excellent job last night. So thank you. I
appreciate everything that you do. You actually pushed me to
try to be better at my job every single day.
So thank you, sir. Thank you. All Right, now that

(01:21:38):
the mutual love fest is over, sorry it still had
to be said. Oh okay, so it looks like we
now have confirmation, I guess. So hang on, I'm gonna
kind of skim this with you guys. So remember when
I said that there was a potential shooting incident in
the DC area. It looks like there's another story about it.

(01:21:59):
So it looks like there's now been a bit of
confirmation in that. Carolyn Levitt told reporters of thursday press
briefing that federal law enforcement arrested a juvenile on Wednesday
evening in Washington, DC Ward seven too it threatened violence
against the school. He was found in possession of seven
different firearms and arrested for threats to kidnap, an injury,
receiving stolen property, possession of a large capacity feeding device

(01:22:23):
or high capacity magazine, an unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.
So just so you're not well watching me read it,
let's play the clip.

Speaker 23 (01:22:30):
Hang on.

Speaker 1 (01:22:33):
Gotta get it set up first though, and let's get
my ugly mug off the screen because it's her hotness.
I don't want to share screens with that and Macmila
Gavid words.

Speaker 31 (01:22:49):
Focused on removing public safety threats from our communities, And
in fact, I can share with all of you that
last night in Washington, d C. When arrests were being made,
there was an arrest of a juvenile right here in
DC and Ward seven for threats to kidnap and injure,
receiving stolen property, possession of a large capacity feeding device,
unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition. A search warrant was executed,

(01:23:12):
seven firearms were recovered, and the juvenile was arrested after
an investigation was initiated based on social media posts allegedly
threatening violence towards the school. So this was a juvenile
who was a risk to not just himself but the
community here in Washington, and he was removed from the
community last night because of the law enforcement efforts of

(01:23:32):
this administration. And I would also point to the statement
of our wonderful First Lady that she released yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:23:40):
All right, So yeah, I would like to point out that,
you know, funny that you know, in an area where
they're actually paying attention to crime and trying to get
things fixed, they managed to stop one of those things.
Here's the little quiet part out loud of this part
of the story. There was a bishop who took a
lot of security concerns to the governor in Minnesota. Anybody

(01:24:00):
remember who that is, and they were ignored. So, just
to go into this story a little bit further, authorities
executed a search warrant. Wrong one, there we go, all right,
So authorities executed a search warrant of the juvenile after
an investigation was initiated based on social media post a

(01:24:21):
legending threatening violence towards a school. Levitt revealed that the news.
I'm sorry, Levitt revealed the news after a reporter asked
the Press Secretary about parents in America who might be
concerned about their children's safety in schools nationwide following the
shooting in Minneapolis. All Right, so this is the part

(01:24:42):
where I just keep it real with you.

Speaker 3 (01:24:44):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (01:24:44):
Again, I would like to point out that DC has
some of the most strict gun control laws in the country.
Dude had seven different firearms. Dude had high co pass
any magazines, all of which are illegal in Washington, DC
for that particular person to have, and some of which

(01:25:06):
are illegal for anybody to have within the Federal District
of Columbia. And yet he still had them. This goes
back to the conversation that I tried to have with
you yesterday. Unless there's a neuralizer on the moon that
I don't know about, and somebody can fly up there
and hit the button and say make everybody forget everything
about firearms, you can't ever put that genie back in

(01:25:27):
the bottle. And the thing that I keep trying to
make everybody understand who is looking at this from a
logical perspective rather than an emotional one, is this, as
long as you are putting signs out that say, hey,
there are no guns here, you're inviting people to do
crazy stuff. And crazy people will in fact do crazy stuff.

(01:25:49):
So the options that we have because we can't put
the genie back in the bottle, and if all of
the law abiding citizens give up their guns because the
government tells them they have too. The only people that
will have guns then will be the police and the criminals.
And how often are we still being inundated with the
fact that the police are the bad guys too. Imagine
how much differently our life would have been, because remember,

(01:26:12):
under Barack Obama, there was a huge push to get
rid of firearms, a huge one. Nobody talks about that anymore.
That there were cities and states starting gun buyback programs,
and there was this, and there was that, and then
they started pushing the idea that the comps were the
bad guys. Imagine how much differently our life would have
been if we had all bought into that sheep's line

(01:26:33):
bullshit and given up all of our guns that I
no longer own because all of mine were lost in
a tragic boating accident in twenty twenty one. That's my
story and I'm sticking to it. But what would have
happened if we had all fallen in line and been
dutiful citizens and surrendered our firearms. And then they started

(01:26:57):
the push to defund the police. You have jurisdictions now
where a lot of crimes are reported online, and then
they determine if you're worthy of a report because they
can't keep up. This is the insanity that we live
in today. And then you have parents and people that

(01:27:18):
are reacting emotionally to very bad situations. And for the
parents that are living in those moments, I'm not faulting
you for that. It took me almost five years to
claw my way out of a divorce I wasn't expecting
and a very dark mental hole, so I can only
imagine where you guys live today. And I'm going to
say that we need to allow these people the time
and space to breathe and grieve and find their way

(01:27:40):
back out of it again. But while we're talking about
people that should be being prayed for, start praying for
the first responders that have to show up to these things,
because their lives are forever changed. Not in the same
way as the victims, not in the same ways as
the families of the victims, but in ways that none
of us, well I say none of us, but in
ways that those of you that have never done the
job in any former capacity are never really going to

(01:28:03):
be able to understand. It's one of the things that
pisses me off the most about how things are reported
as somebody that used to wear a badge and a
gun for a living. One of the most the headlines
that piss me off the most is, and it's in
almost every single one officer tragically injured or tragically killed
during a routine traffic stop. There's no such thing as

(01:28:23):
a routine traffic stop. There's none that's not there. So
quit pushing it that way because it delineates what they
do and it takes away from what it is that
they do, because these people are putting their lives on
the line every single day. These are the people that
run towards gunshots, and you guys detegrate them all the time.

(01:28:49):
I say, you guys are not necessarily speaking to my
regular listeners, but I know we have liberals that lurk,
and I know because I still get hate mail from
some of you. What do these say? I'm going to
start reading it live on the air, but I'm afraid
if I do that, you'll stop corresponding. And I'm hoping
that eventually I might be able to make a dent

(01:29:11):
in some of your weird ass thinking if I don't
throw you under the bus by name. Yeah, yeah, no,
we do not need to be nineteen ninety six Australia.
If we become nineteen ninety six Australia, we will have
daughters standing in front of rape games, gangs with axes

(01:29:32):
and knives to protect their children, their sisters. And I
don't want to live in that America. I just don't.
I just don't. But again, look I'm about I know
I keep coming back to this today and I'm really
not trying to beat the same drum over and over
and over again. But the truth of it is, if

(01:29:56):
we focused on the actual problem, and this is something
that started when Rush first started doing his thing low
so many years ago. Do you guys remember the weird
headlines where you know, there was some sort of a
traffic accident and an SUV was involved. They never once
said anything about the driver of the suv. It was
always suv swerves across double yellow line and kills family

(01:30:18):
and minivan like the suv did or not its own.
This is the because they don't like SUVs because according
to them, they're gas guzzlers. They don't like guns either,
because they're afraid of them. When you live your life
in fear, are you living or are you existing? That's

(01:30:41):
That's my question for everybody today. If you decide that
you are that you are actively choosing, whether consciously or subconsciously,
to live in fear. Are you living? Are you surviving?
Because I've had to ask myself that question over and
over again the last five years, because I realized that

(01:31:02):
there were times that I was just surviving. I was
in survival mode. I was wrapping myself in the fear
because it became comfortable to me. I was wrapping myself
in the anger that came from the situation that I
wasn't expecting to be in because it became comfortable from me.
These same people that are screaming and yelling about the guns,
they're doing the same thing. And I'm going to say

(01:31:27):
this right now, and this is coming from somebody who
has to give them oxygen to make a living. For
those of you who don't have to, don't. For those
of you who have carved out your own path in
life that doesn't involve having to feed the crazy, don't
do it. Leave them alone, let them screech in the dark.

(01:31:50):
Let those of us that are shining a light in
the dark places do it.

Speaker 11 (01:31:53):
For you.

Speaker 1 (01:31:53):
You don't have to. That's why we're here. The less
people that pay attention to this crap, the more likely
it is to stop, which is why from day one,
even though I usually have a twenty four hour moratorium
on saying anything too specific, I have gone out of
my way not to say the ass hat's name, because
he doesn't deserve any more. Oxygen doesn't deserve Oxygen doesn't

(01:32:15):
deserve special pronouns, doesn't deserve to be well. I chose
to be a girl. You know what, All your choices
are irrelevant to me because you're dead now and you
took people with you. I'm not going to honor you
by honoring your wishes, whatever they were, and I wouldn't
have done it when you were alive. My one stipulation
has always been this, it's mental illness, but if you

(01:32:36):
are willing enough to embrace it to have all of
the after factory markups, that is the point where I
will honor you and your request. Well, I'll not honor you,
but honor your request. And I've had to make that
decision with Caitlin formerly Bruce Jenner because at some point
along the way there was a timeline shift or something,

(01:32:57):
because the last I knew, dude still had all the
junk in the trunk and everything else. Then at some
point along the way they made a lot of changes,
which is when I started referring to her as Caitlin,
because she now at least resembles it on the outside,
always going to be a dude on the inside, and
apparently dude with huge problems. But if you are that

(01:33:18):
committed to your mental illness that you are willing to
do whatever it takes to have the outside match how
you say you feel on the inside, at that point
I will honor your request, because most people don't do that.
And it's just insane to me that we keep having

(01:33:40):
these same arguments over and over and over again. And
I said this an hour one. If you are somebody
who is actively supporting the sacrifice of children on the
altar of expediency, you don't get to talk to me
about making sure children in schools are safe, because we've
told you how to do it. Get rid of the
gun free zone, signs, all the tea that are willing
to that can pass the background checks and can pass

(01:34:04):
the psychological reviews, the same things cops have to go
through all day, every day to be able to do
their jobs. To get firearm training. If they decide to
do so, nobody's making them do it. And the thing
about it is let them can steal carry, because then
if there's even only one on the campus and word
gets out, trust me, they're not going in there anymore

(01:34:29):
because then they don't get their suicidal ideation. They're just
gonna get murdered. They don't want that. And as if
it was a segue, even though it was unintentional, this
feeds into the next article that I just saw. This
is from Brandon Morris. It is a VIP so we're
not going to go through all of it. I'll be

(01:34:49):
sharing it out in a moment on Legs Feeds for
those of you that want to follow along and check
out the whole thing later, assuming you are a VIP subscriber.
If you're not here in a moment, I'm going to

(01:35:11):

and I'll put that up in a moment as well.
Just for anybody that might want to take advantage of it.
But Thomas Massey has proven yet again that the Left
doesn't actually want to save children from mass shooters. This
is from Red State and put out by Brandon Morris.
Gun free zones are deadly pretty sure. I was just
saying that it's been a simple fact of society since

(01:35:33):
the nineteen fifties, and yet not one Democrat wants to
admit this because the gun free zone is a concentrated
area that represents their entire belief structure around firearms. Again,
this isn't news. The data has been around for ages.
This has been written about at The Blaze back in
twenty seventeen by the same author the Fort Lauderdale shooting

(01:35:53):
that took the lives of five people. According to the
Crime Prevention Research Center, from the nineteen fifties through June fifteenth,
twenty eighteen, ninety seven point eight percent of mass shootings
have occurred on or in gun free zones, with just
two point two percent occurring where citizens are allowed to
have firearms with them. The research was actually updated from

(01:36:13):
a previous figure. In response to an article written by
the gun control advocacy group Everytown dot org, which attempted
to dismiss the cprc's research, saying the gun lobbies claim
that so called gun free zones and danger Americans and
are inconsistent with the evidence. The CPRC says that every
town dot Org are ass hats. Oh they didn't really
say that. I'm adding that part used both incomplete information

(01:36:37):
and used criteria that falls outside of what the FBI
considers as qualifications of mass shootings. And the tradition continues
even now. In twenty twenty five, as Thomas Massey, who
I have a kind of a war god cold relationship with,
and John Lott, the man behind the CPRC research, wrote

(01:36:57):
for The Wall Street Journal the the transgender Minneapolis murderer
who targeted Catholic schools did so because he knew there
would be no way to stop him. So, and this
is a quote from the article, the annunciation. Make sure
you enunciate the word annunciation. Catholic schools shooter in Minneapolis

(01:37:19):
spelled it out in his manifesto. I recently heard a
rumor that James Holmes, the Aurora theater shooter, may have
chosen venues that were gun free zones. I would probably
aim the same way Holmes wanted to make sure his
victims would be unarmed. That's why I and many others
liked schools so much. At least for me, I am
focused on them. Adam Lanza is my reason Lansa committed

(01:37:43):
a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut.
MASSI a lot go on in the Wall Street Journal
article to point out that leftist media outlets like CNN
and the Washington Post all read the same passages they did,
and yet they continue to blatantly skip over the fact
that gun free zones are actually murders free zones. So

(01:38:09):
this is a quote from MASSI a lot, and again
pretty sure I just said the same thing. Arming teachers
and other employees with concealed firearms deprives an attacker of
those tactical advantages. He can't tell which teachers or staff
are armed. More than twenty one million people hold concealed
handgun permits, and in the twenty nine constitutional carry states,
no permit is even required for either open carry or

(01:38:30):
concealed carry within the state of Oklahoma. Thank you very
much for that. Across America, you can stand in a
grocery store. There's a good chance someone nearby carries a
concealed handgun. The same should be true of schools. More
than twenty states and more than ten thousand public schools
already allow armed teachers under various rules Other than suicides
and gang violence at night. Not a single death or

(01:38:51):
injury has occurred in a school that permits teachers to
carry Funny, how that works, Ain't it? How that works?
Ain't it?

Speaker 23 (01:39:01):
All?

Speaker 2 (01:39:01):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:39:01):
So I'm still not sure if we're doing in the
hour three. I know we're doing an hour three. I
do not know if Brad will be participating. Last I
heard he was scrambling on getting some of his work done.
We will, Howard do an hour three, because I've already
promised you that, But because we are still doing an
hour three, we're gonna take the musical interlude break and

(01:39:22):
this one will be our military tribute. So hang on
just a second, all right. So, if you're new around here,
just to make sure we're all on the same page.
This is what happens on the Friday edition normally. Our
one is dedicated to you, guys, those of you that
are working every single day to make your lives as

(01:39:43):
the best you can make them. Our two is dedicated
to our law enforcement, first responders, firefighters, paramedics, and even
the dispatchers because they don't get talked about enough. And
then our three is dedicated to our military men and
women who are doing ever everything they can to make
America as safe as possible within the confines of the

(01:40:04):
administration they are currently serving under. I will say I'm
very happy that this administration seems to be happy with
getting the military back to its original created idea, which
is to be able to kill people and break things
should the need arise. We haven't been at that point
in a while. I'm glad to see us kind of
are heading back in that direction. We shall see how

(01:40:25):
long it lasts. But music break coming up, you guys
are the drill will be back in about four or five.

Speaker 21 (01:41:06):
Sons started two three fights as the sons.

Speaker 24 (01:41:34):
Uh the stars, they said, then, so was fer.

Speaker 26 (01:42:06):
Some time to stay.

Speaker 16 (01:42:12):
Shot and shell. Second, it says, some stops the sun

(01:42:48):
here the it's not enough thing.

Speaker 11 (01:43:01):
Of the.

Speaker 21 (01:43:10):
Soups to the songs, cots Fine.

Speaker 16 (01:43:37):
Said, attempted to times.

Speaker 1 (01:44:57):
Welcome back into the program, ladies and gentlemen, try to
do an all fancy transition, and realized I didn't have
my mic open, which means you guys couldn't hear any
of the sounds anyway, because I had, I was muting
it in a very specific place to avoid echo again
and almost forgot. Lutily, it wasn't as bad as the
other day because guys stopped. I still have to fix

(01:45:17):
that one. Speaking of which we're behind on the archives.
Those will be fixed later today. I'm gonna try to
get at least a couple of articles put out for
Twitchy today after we're done here. Also, just so you know,
Brad did just confirm, so there will be a weekend
news round up here in about fifteen minutes when none
other than Brad Slagger gonna eventually see if we can
start adding some more newsy types into that particular panel,

(01:45:38):
especially now that I'm trying to make its own standalone
segment for the weekends, so that we can discuss all
of the things that are being dropped at the last minute.
Is usually happened on Fridays. So one of the things
that has been dropped, and we talked about this a
little bit yesterday, is the fact that they've now had
to revise the second quarter GDP numbers upward, which is
weird because that doesn't usually happen by a full two

(01:46:01):
tenths of a point from three point one to three
point three. Also, there are indicators that have been released
today regarding inflation. And the funny thing about all that
this inflation monster that they get just wait, it's coming,
Just wait, it's coming, and it'll all be Trump's fault
when it does. Except it ain't here. Still, it ain't

(01:46:26):
here because they don't they don't understand how economics work.
If they did, they never would have decoupled us from
the gold standard low so many years ago. And I so,
I guess I need to revise that statement. It's not
that they don't understand how economics work. It's just they
have known that if we make our astronomy, our astronomy,

(01:46:50):
our economy strong again. Is what happens when the word
economy and strong try to blend together in your head
as you're trying to say them, you come out and
say the word astronomy, dune, dune. But no, so if
they knew, if our economy began to strengthen again, because
while it is the strongest in the world, still it
is still a paper tiger. The paper in our case

(01:47:11):
might be cardboard stock, but it's still paper. Trump is
moving us away from that cardboard stock and actually making
us a strong economy again. They can't have that. They
can't have that because that does away with all of
their planning to put you and I or you and me,
depending on whether you're an English major or not, under

(01:47:33):
their thumbs, because that's been their plan for quite some time,
and this has been a recurring theme. I talked about
this a little bit with gen last night. There's an
entire undercurrent to the Civil War that nobody talks about
because we don't get taught history anymore. Some of the
division that was happening was on purpose, and it was

(01:47:59):
folks like from France who were aligned with Mexico at
the time, that were trying to drive the South to secede.
Then you had Canada trying to push the idea of
the North going against the South. Nobody talks about that part.

(01:48:20):
The Civil War, if not for Lincoln coming onto the scene,
could have been the beginning of the end of America
in so many different ways. The problem is, by the
time they were done, it was still basically the beginning
of the end of America in so many different ways,
because we didn't have a federal government before Lincoln. We
had a general government before Lincoln, and we had a

(01:48:41):
loose coalition before Lincoln. He was afraid that because of
the loose coalition status that we had, if he didn't
shore it up, if he didn't make a stronger federal government,
if he didn't pull us all together to change into
a morph into going from these United States to the
unit United States, that we likely wouldn't survive. Whether he

(01:49:04):
understood the time what he was doing or not, only
time will tell, and we're not taught enough history anymore
to know unless you're willing to do your own research.
And I am, and I still can't find any indicationist
whether or not he knew what he was doing was
the beginning of the end of America because it started
the centralization of all of our power, which is bad.

(01:49:28):
What made America work so well before was decentralization. The
federal government existed, but it existed as a general government.
It had three main goals.

Speaker 5 (01:49:38):
That was it.

Speaker 1 (01:49:39):
That's the only thing that was responsible for making sure
we were safe from outside threats, making sure there was
the ability for business, for states to do business with
one another, and then there's one other that always escapes me,
and I can't really think of what it is at
the moment because I haven't had enough caffeine yet today,
and I've been up late every night this week so
well except for two. Tuesday. Tuesday I crashed because I

(01:50:01):
was supposed to. It's my own fault too, because I
was supposed to run Busy Live on Tuesday night. And
then by the time I got home it was like
nine o'clock at night. I had finally gotten something to eat,
and I was like, I'm gonna turn on the TV
for just a minute before I go get that set up.
Next thing I know, I wake up and it's like
four in the morning, and I'm like, holy crap. So yeah,
so yeah, I was up Wednesday and Thursday because it

(01:50:22):
was my own fault because yeah, I was up to
almost two in the morning Wednesday. Then I mentioned I'm
a crazy workaholic in my last meeting was whenever ago. Hi,
my name is R. Crominson. But anyway, but yeah, there's
all these undercurrents and all these things that were happening,
like everybody Lodge Lincoln as this huge proponent for freedom

(01:50:43):
for the slaves and he was, but he didn't like them.
He created an entire nation for them to be shipped
off to and if not for the fact that he
was assassinated, likely would have happened. Now we can make
the argument that part of the reason that he was
assassinated was likely because there were folks inside the government

(01:51:05):
and inside our own union stronger than it may have
been before he got a hold of it who wanted
the still cheap labor. Same argument that's being made today
by guess who, the Democrats. Oh no, I'm sorry. I
thought I thought I made the announcement. He'll be joining

(01:51:26):
us in about eight minutes, so but yeah, he just
messaged me and said, no, no, I'm good, I got
it all done. I'll be there in a few minutes.
So I'm like, okay, cool, and yeah, if not, I
would have sent you the link I was actually about
to when he messaged me and be like, you want
to come bail me out for the hour.

Speaker 3 (01:51:45):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:51:48):
I was actually supposed to have a guest next Friday,
but they just told me they're going to have to reschedule,
so boo. Anyway, all right, so you know what, let's
save the clip that I have stored up for the
end of for the hour. Three.

Speaker 23 (01:52:08):
All right, so.

Speaker 1 (01:52:11):
Take this with a great assault, no matter what it is.
But apparently there's a new poll that shows exactly where
Advance and Newsom would stand in a hypothetical twenty twenty
eight election matchup. And this is a new survey released
Friday showing California Governor Gavin Newsom surging ahead of other
potential twenty twenty eight Democratic presidential candidates. Newsom's twenty five
percent support is a thirteen point increase since June. According

(01:52:35):
to the Emerson College poll, former Transportation Secretary Pete I
love it in the butt Buddhajees trails the California governor
was sixteen percent support, followed by eleven percent for a
former Vice President Kami La Maha Maasnik, who led the
failed twenty twenty four Democratic presidential campaign that lasted one

(01:52:55):
hundred and seven days and blew over a sure what
was it? A billion dollar? Maybe even more than the
hell I don't remember, five percent for Josh Shapiro, four
percent for each Illinois Governor JB that's no moon, that's
my ass, Pritzker and Rep. Occasional Cortex Cortes three percent
for I own three houses, but I'm still a socialist

(01:53:17):
Bernie Sanders.

Speaker 29 (01:53:18):
So.

Speaker 1 (01:53:18):
According to new national polling from Emerson College Polling twenty
twenty eight Democratic primary, Newsom of twenty five percent bootage,
has sixteen Harris eleven, Shapiro five, AOC four, Pritzker four,
Sanders three, Governor Knew some support serge to cross key
demographic groups, highlighted by a twelve point increase among voters

(01:53:39):
under thirty six to eighteen percent, an eighteen point increase
among voters over seventy thirteen percent to thirty one percent
Bzy do something about your folks, and a fourteen point
increase among both black nine to twenty three percent and
white ten percent to fourteen to twenty four percent. And

(01:54:00):
and according to Spencer Kimball, executive director Remembers in College polling,
Newsom's recent gains are driven largely by younger voters from
the ages of eighteen to twenty nine. After splitting this
group in June thirty nine to thirty eight, he now
holds a clear lead forty five to twenty eight. Vice
President jd Vance has the support of more than half
of Republican voters fifty two percent, while Secretary of State

(01:54:23):
Mark Or Rubio Trail with nine percent support in Florida
Governor ron To SAand to seven percent hypothetical matchup between
new Some Advance showed support for the two tide at
forty four percent with twelve percent undecided. This is why
I keep telling you guys, take all of this shit
with a grain of salt, because everybody in the GOP
is acting like it's a foregone conclusion that we're going
to run the table. I even heard it from Speaker

(01:54:45):
Johnson today. I anticipate us increasing our House seat numbers.
That's great. What are you gonna do to get us there? Brother?
Because I'm not seeing it anywhere. I'm just not so
within the margin of error. They are statistically tied as
of right now. Now grant if this is twenty twenty eight,
not twenty twenty six. So take all of this with

(01:55:06):
a grain of salt and focus on them now. Because
what concerns me If you take the individual special elections
that have happened, then they're not Bellweathers. But if you
take into account the fact that ever since Trump has
been sworn into office, every single special election other than

(01:55:27):
I think one that I can think of off the
top of my head has swung towards Democrats. This is
a bad landscape for us, especially when they're less popular
than a hooker with venereal disease as a whole. Exactly.
That's the thing that I don't get, because the Democrats

(01:55:48):
never stop fighting no matter what.

Speaker 23 (01:55:49):
Here.

Speaker 1 (01:55:50):
They are completely underwater, unpopular with everybody other than you know,
a portion of their own group, and yet they're still
managing to swing local seats and date seats, while the
GOP is just like, ah, let's have a party because
we're gonna be lucky if there is a Democratic Party
by the time we get to twenty twenty six and
twenty twenty eight. Stop it, just stop it, all right.

(01:56:16):
So we gotta make way for Brad. So we're gonna
go ahead and take the break a little bit early
so I can get things lined out and notch you
through too much of the hour that we're gonna be
spending with him. He'll be with us on the other
side of the break. My name's Rick Robinson. This is
my show. This gives you a perfect amount of time
to get up, stretch your legs, grab a drink, maybe
smoke a little bit of what helps you think? Unless
sure at work, But then again, even if you are,

(01:56:37):
I'm probably not your boss. And even if I am,
I don't really judge.

Speaker 23 (01:56:41):
We'll be are back.

Speaker 1 (01:56:42):

Speaker 8 (01:59:32):
I don't want them to have to quit their piano

Independence. With that declaration, America was born inspired by a
belief in the god given rights of every human being,
that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

(02:01:04):
Our government was established to secure these rights and for
the good that comes from exercising them. Well, this is
why the founders of our great nation chose independence, as
do we. Hillsdale College accepts no government funding because independence

podcast which usually drops shortly after this show posts all
of our fun little RSS feed drop spots. But I
am joined by my usual cohort in this thing. And
we may eventually see if we can start getting other

(02:05:34):
people to join us too, just because having BZ on
last week was kind of fun. Rad Schlager from town Hall,
from Red State and also right here at Kaylor and Radio.
Good afternoon, because it is afternoon for you, because you
live in the future.

Speaker 29 (02:05:46):
You.

Speaker 1 (02:05:47):
How are you?

Speaker 23 (02:05:48):
We're doing good. We're doing good. It's it's been a
busy and hectic week.

Speaker 1 (02:05:53):
Ah, that's weird because earlier he couldn't hear anything. Now
I can't hear him.

Speaker 23 (02:06:06):
Oh, I'm hearing you're fine too.

Speaker 1 (02:06:11):
Oh yeah, I think we might need to try the
handshake one more time. My friend, drop out and drop
back in, and then let me triple check and make
sure I don't have you muted anywhere. Sometimes I have

(02:06:32):
a bad habit of doing that. I don't realize that
on it. Okay, So all right, so that's weird. I'm
still not hearing that. Well, I shouldn't know. Why am
I not hearing that?

Speaker 23 (02:06:44):
You're getting me?

Speaker 1 (02:06:46):
All right?

Speaker 2 (02:06:46):
Now? I got you?

Speaker 1 (02:06:47):
No, I got you.

Speaker 23 (02:06:50):
First it was video, then it was audio.

Speaker 2 (02:06:51):
What the hell?

Speaker 1 (02:06:53):
Yeah? You know, gremlins, what are you gonna do? They're
a thing, especially when you do things live anyway, So
let's try this again. How are you, my friend? How
are things We're good.

Speaker 23 (02:07:01):
We're good. It's been a hectic week, but we are.
We're battling throw it. We're having fun at the same
time too.

Speaker 1 (02:07:08):
I mean, it's the only way to do it, especially
when you do what we do, because you know, I
tell people all the time what I do now isn't
that different than what I did before. I still have
to live in all the bad things that everybody does
and focus on them, and now I get to talk
about them instead of trying to fix them. So that's
a little different.

Speaker 23 (02:07:25):
But yeah, if things are fixable. Basically, what I always
like to say is I'm not trying to beat down
or repair anything. I'm just trying to give everybody the
necessary tools to battle back against the narratives. And it
seems to me working. I gotta say, not that I'm
taking credit, but we're seeing products across the board.

Speaker 1 (02:07:46):
I mean, take some credit. You do a lot of work.
You do a lot of work. I've been keeping up
with you for a while, but now it's just amazing
to me because I mean, again, there's basically been one
story that's sucked up most of the oxygen this week,
and I've kind of done my best to try to
stay away from it until I just couldn't anymore. And
of course that's that's the shooting in Minneapolis, but there's
all the undercurrent stuff that's coming out, like the bishop

(02:08:09):
that was in direct communication with the governor and saying, hey,
we have some security concerns at our Catholic schools and
we're hoping you help us address them, and the governor
was like, no, we're good.

Speaker 23 (02:08:19):
Yeah. It's kind of an amazing development there because they
love to talk up how you know, they all the
work they do in their schools, and the Catholic or
private schools were saying, what about us, you know, we
could use a little bit of boosting as well, and nah, no,
you're on your own. And it's kind of amazing too

(02:08:39):
to watch all the various forms of deflection taking place
they want to The desperation to turn this all onto
the Trump administration has been amazing and they're trying to Oh,
he's battling back against gun reform, but you look at
Minnesota and they have some of the strictest gun laws
in the country. They got the red flag laws that

(02:09:01):
they've been touting and pushing like crazy not to mention
gun free zones, which this school was, and all of
that failed to work somehow.

Speaker 1 (02:09:13):
Yeah, it's funny how when you have all of those
things in place, the only people that really have access
to things that are considered illegal or inappropriate, or the
people that don't give a shit if they're illegal or inappropriate.
It's funny how that works.

Speaker 23 (02:09:27):
Yeah. Well, even saw in the manifesto that was released,
and this time the manifesto came out unlike Nashville. How
about that this time people were able to obtain it
before the authorities could shut it down. So that's actually
out there now. But in the manifesto said that they're
specifically looking for schools that are gun free.

Speaker 1 (02:09:49):
Yeah, that's the thing.

Speaker 23 (02:09:52):
You're putting a bullseye on these entities and they're going on, well, that's.

Speaker 1 (02:09:58):
The part that's absolutely nuts. Right. Oh, Look, even if
you don't want your teachers carrying guns, all you have
to do is put on a press release that somebody
on campus is going to be carrying a gun and
get rid of that gun free zone sign, and I
guarantee you school shootings would diminish substantially overnight, even if
you don't want them carrying guns. Now, at some point

(02:10:19):
somebody may test the assumption and find out nobody's carrying,
and then you're gonna have to make a decision. But
you know, but it's just this whole thing of you know,
when you've got people like me that have been saying
for years gun free zones, they should just change, They
should just change the sign for your safety. This is
a gun free zone, no, because we don't care about you.

(02:10:40):
This is a fish in a barrel zone, is basically
what that sign should say, because that's what they create.
I mean, we've seen this over and over and over again,
even on public private property with public access that's posted
no gun zones, which are usually like moles and public
gathering places and everything else. And you see people that
break that law or rule every single day, and nine

(02:11:02):
times out of ten when they do, what could have
been a mass shooting becomes somebody who can't hit the
broadside of a barn and gets taken out by somebody
who understands how to use a gun. Because you know,
good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns. That's
just the way it's always been it's the way it's
always going to be because and I talked about this
an hour two unless there, unless there's one of those

(02:11:23):
mi ib neuralizer things on the moon, and you're gonna
fly up there and push the button and basically bathe
the whole world in it. While you say, forget everything
that's ever been known about firearms, there's no way to
put this genie back in the bottle. And the idea
can we can put the genie back in the bottle
by making an illegal Please see drugs, please see alcohol,
Please see all the things that we tell people that

(02:11:44):
are illegal, and they should still choose to do them anyway.
That's never gonna work, not in the way that you think,
and it never does work in the way that you think.

Speaker 23 (02:11:54):
Now, you put up a gun free zone in pretty
much these psychotics, or just through jotting it down on
a notebook and saying, okay, there's one, there's one, and
then they'll pick and choose what their next target is
going to become. It's we just we see it all
the time, and they It's funny how that never gets
brought up, because every time you see the media or

(02:12:16):
somebody in the Democrat Party wailing about, Oh, another school shooting.
They never know it's another school that was a gun
free zone.

Speaker 1 (02:12:24):
Yeah, that's the part they always leave out. And it's
just astounding to me. And this is the other thing
that drives me crazy because and as a person of faith,
I'm liable to piss off some people with what I'm
about to say. But I've said it already, so I'm
sure I've already driven the ones out that were pissed.
I don't want to hear any more about how we're
not taking care of our children in schools from the
same crowd that is okay with sacrificing children at the

(02:12:48):
older of ball because that's what abortion does, whether anybody
wants to do it or not. And if you don't
believe that, they believe that, look at the statues that
were outside of the DNC this past year. It's insane.

Speaker 23 (02:13:01):
They're and also too rope in the fact that they're
pushing hard. I mean, they're lobbying hard to have gender
affirming care, as they call it, from minors, to actually
have kids that are not mentally and emotionally developed making
decisions to completely alter their body permanently. They're trying to

(02:13:23):
protect kids. At the same time, it's it's complete garbage
because I mean, these are kids that are too young
to get a tattoo because that's permanent, but lopping off
your genitalia is approved and lobbied for.

Speaker 1 (02:13:35):
That's the other part that that I mean, again, it
doesn't make any sense. And that's a great point. I
don't know how I've never put that together before, but
that is an awesome point because they can't get a tattoo,
but they can either have a subtract, a subtract or
an addictamy surgery.

Speaker 23 (02:13:51):
I see this in the UH. This also came up
in the manifesto of the shooter. They were they were
really flat out talking about their transition and how they
were angry about it and how this was leading to
emotional problems. It's all spelled out right there in the book.

(02:14:12):
The press absolutely could not address it whatsoever, and it
was just disturbing to watch all the media reactions since
that's what I do, and they clearly avoided it as
much as possible. The times they did address the transgender
issue of the shooter, it was making sure they used
the right pronouns and don't attack the trans community, which

(02:14:38):
it's just staggering the blind spot they have. They were
more sympathetic and defensive of the trans community than they
were the actual shooting victims.

Speaker 1 (02:14:49):
Yeah, I mean, let's not forget the same people that
you know, just a couple of years ago were like,
oh my god, every person that voted for Donald Trump
as a terrorists or like, don't lump all the transgender
people in with this dude. And then they started trying
to argue, but, well, maybe he wasn't actually transgender, because
it looks like he was a racist, which would make
him a right right winger. You guys don't understand how
this works because racism is predominantly on you guys's side.

(02:15:10):
And the thing that drives me nuts about this argument,
and this is our own fault, because we put out
all these tests and line everything out on a flat graph,
and it shows the four quadrants, and if you land here,
you're this, if you land here, you're that. It's not
it's just like the globe, though it's not flat, it's round.
If you go too far one way, you wind up
in the other part. And nobody wants to talk about

(02:15:30):
that because all of those things typically meet in the middle.

Speaker 2 (02:15:36):
Left.

Speaker 1 (02:15:36):
But yeah, it's usually when things start moving really far
to the left when you realize that all these people
are kind of thinking the same thing. And if you
don't believe me, just look at what's look at what's
still happening. The Party of Slavery still wants cheap labor.
The party that doesn't it didn't like the Jews, has
managed to harangue most of the Jewish vote, is now
trying to exterminate them through proxy. Because people are people

(02:15:59):
are just they do they do things against their own
self interest all the time, which makes absolutely no sense
to me. But whatever. But this whole idea that you know,
the guns are the problem. I said this earlier today.
If you if you own one and you think a
gun is the problem, go put it on your table
and tell it to start shooting and see what happens.

Speaker 23 (02:16:19):
Well, there was actually a kind of a revealing interchange
exchange that went on with Stephen King and Matt Walsh.
Did you see that one?

Speaker 1 (02:16:28):
I saw bits and pieces of it.

Speaker 23 (02:16:31):
I mean, King just completely trapped himself because Matt Walsh
basically responded to him, He's like, I own numerous guns
and I've never murdered anybody, never shot anyone never used
them inappropriately somehow, and then Stephen King comes back. He's like, well, yeah,
good on you because you're not a crazy person.

Speaker 1 (02:16:48):
It's like, uh uh what you know, Well, actually yeah,
he says, good on you because you're sane. That's not
what you normally say though. But but so this this
was in in that vein, but somebody placed somebody basically
owned Stephen King with his own words, and I thought
it was absolutely amazing because he was talking about the

(02:17:08):
shooting and he said the guns are the problem. So
somebody quoted Randall from the Gunsinger series who basically said,
if if I kill a man with my gun, it's
not the guns problem. I had forgotten the face of
my father, and it is a heart problem. Now I'm paraphrasing,
but it was just amazing to me that somebody had

(02:17:30):
like pulled that and was like using his own words
against him, because I'm like, hey, this is what you
wrote way back in the day when you said it's
not really the guns problem, which is what we've been saying.
We have a heart problem in this country, and we
have a mental health problem in this country. And before
fentanyl came on the scene, and they figured out how
to weaponize all the drugs. I was a grand proponent
of just just decriminalizing all of it so we could

(02:17:52):
focus on all the people that were using these things
to self medicate for mental health issues instead of instead
of putting them in prisons. But now that they're making
these things kill everybody, I really don't know what we're
gonna do because I mean, now you've got people that
buy weed on the black market, at least with fitanel
when they die after a couple of puffs, I don't
really know what to do anymore.

Speaker 23 (02:18:14):
Well, that's uh, yeah, that's that's another issue they didn't
want to address in the Biden administration. But at least
we've got some adults in charge now. Jd. Vance was
a yesterday or a day before, I was talking about
how they need to start going really hard at the cartels,
and it cracked me up too. Is another instance where

(02:18:34):
the media has to take an opposing view. I think
it was Scott MacFarland at CBS News months ago was
upset when the Trump administration wanted to declare the Mexican
cartels a terror group and he was mad about it, like,
what what is even going on in the head anymore

(02:18:55):
when well, how dare we upset those Mexican cartels?

Speaker 1 (02:19:00):
Yeah? Right, well, I mean, and that's the thing. So
I saw somebody, I think it was this week even
I think it was the beginning of the week before
the news cycle got eaten up by the shooting, somebody
posting about how, you know, in Mexico they were doing this,
that or the other to help their citizenry. It's like,
must be nice to have a government that cares about
its people. I'm like, you know that government is run

(02:19:20):
by the cartels, right, You know that, don't you. So
it's not really that they care. It's about good optics.
But yeah, it looks like beezis just putting the chat
a twitty, twitchy article that was written by just Mindy
outlining that very thing. So I'm about to post it
to the x feeds here, so anybody who wants to
read along with it can because yeah, that was a

(02:19:40):
brilliant exchange. And I think it's amazing that he's like, yeah,
but you're saying I'm a Trump voter. I thought you
said we were all in chane. I'm confused.

Speaker 23 (02:19:51):
Well, I just yeah, he gets like very close to
actually having a dawning moment. It's like, wait, you're telling
me that people that shoot other people are insane. It
sounds to me like the gun's not the problem. And
we're seeing this in Europe and elsewhere where they remove
the weapons, and now their problem is people with knives
because the violence is continuing. They've just moved to a

(02:20:13):
different medium and they now want to confiscate butter knives
and such like that. You can't go to a restaurant
without getting plastic tablewhere because people are using knives.

Speaker 1 (02:20:23):
Yeah, next, next they'll be Next, they'll be confiscating the
sport because it might wind up in an eyebel. But
I mean, and this is something and partly a joke
that I've been saying for a long time, and it's
just like you just said that the weapon doesn't matter.
Caine didn't need a gun to kill Abele. It may
or may not have been the first ever fruit cake
that has now been passed around for generations and has

(02:20:46):
been misnomed a rock, but he didn't need a gun
to kill him. So it's just again, we have a
hard problem in this country, and we have a mental
health problem in this country. And Bez did just point
out that Oregon actually did try decriminalsation and it failed horribly.
I hate to point this out because it's going to
make me sound like an asshole, but that's the point

(02:21:07):
where you take all the labels off and let Darwin
sort it out, because I think that's the rise of
mental illness in this country is astounding to me, and
I think part of it's because we are coddling it
instead of figuring out what to do with it.

Speaker 23 (02:21:21):
Well, look at the reaction that we've seen for the
last couple of weeks in DC because Trump sent troops
into battle crime and that was a bad thing in
the eyes of the media and elsewhere. It's like, how
do you oppose that? And then when the success rate
was seen, and this wasn't coming from the White House,

(02:21:43):
this was actually the DC Police Union putting out statistics
showing across the board that they were dropping by double
digit percentage points and robberies, shootings, carjackings were down like
eighty seven percent, and breaking an entering was down across
the board, including almost two weeks without a murder taking

(02:22:04):
place in the middle of summer, which nobody can remember
ever happening in the ever. And they're angry about this result.

Speaker 1 (02:22:12):
Well, I mean even the mayor of DC has had
to come out and say, while I disagree with these
actions and I think it may cause people to have
less faith in MPDE, you can't really argue with the results.
So the fact that that's happened is amazing to me.
And I think if I were Donald Trump, I would
have pushed this a little bit harder because with Governor
jb that's no moon, that's my ass Pritzker coming out

(02:22:34):
and saying you're not coming into Illinois. Fine. You know
what I would have done if I were him, gone
to because you know, you hear Gavinusom all the time.
The states with the biggest murder ratios right now are
actually red. But it doesn't account for the fact that
those are five of the bluest cities in America in
those red states other than California, because it's the bluest
of the blue. So what I would have done if

(02:22:54):
I were Trump to push this home even further is
gone to the governors of those red states and say, hey,
with your permission, I would like to bring some National
Guard in there with your help to clean up those
cities so that people can see that we are well,
then to take care of everything in all color zones
because you've already got after again. JB. That's no ass
or that's no moon, that's my ass. Pritzker saying you're

(02:23:15):
not coming to Illinois. Now you've got people in Chicago
looking at what's happening in DC going we want some
of that. So you should have driven that point home
even further and done it in friendly territories so that
all the other folks that are like they're not taking
care of us are looking at that going again, we
want some of that. And you know how, I know
it's working, even if Gavin Newsom doesn't want to admit

(02:23:36):
that it's working. Did you see what he did yesterday?

Speaker 16 (02:23:40):
Uh?

Speaker 23 (02:23:41):
Newsome, He's been doing so much that I've probably missed it.

Speaker 1 (02:23:44):
But to go ahead and tell he mobilized its shippies
to fight crime.

Speaker 23 (02:23:52):
To fight crime, that's not an issue?

Speaker 1 (02:23:55):
Is that what you're yeah?

Speaker 23 (02:23:58):
Crime?

Speaker 1 (02:23:58):
The same guy who says crimes an issue in my
state just mobilize the state police and select there he
used to help blow our crime. No.

Speaker 23 (02:24:05):
I did see that one, that headline. I just had
to laugh. And it's kind of the same thing we
saw like from Peter Baker at The New York Times.
He spent two weeks insisting DC doesn't have a crime problem,
there's no need for this, and then the troops came
in there. And the next thing he said was, the
troops are in the wrong place, the crimes happening elsewhere.
I'm sorry, what crime, Peter. And then you know, we

(02:24:28):
come to find out what the crime map actually looked
like from the law enforcement authorities, and it turns out
the troops were actually in the right place. But that's
what we've been seeing. They people keep posting pictures of
you know, like I'm in Union Station, there's crime ridden
hell hole and it's a very peaceful, tranquil scene. And

(02:24:49):
the response is yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:24:50):
Now, but yeah, BZ just made a great point, and
he would probably know better about that than most since
he actually was law enforcement in that area for forever.
He's deploying CHP into crime ridden areas, which, according to him,
there are no crime ridden areas in California, which again
makes that interesting. But in order to do what he's

(02:25:11):
wanting to do, there aren't going to be enough of them,
not even by half. Because of the defund the police
stuff that's been going on for forever. So yeah, it's
just it's just an interesting thing. And I still love
the fact that all the leftists are still trying to
drive the point home that he's not imitating Trump, he's
trolling Trump and Trump's supporters. Again, if you keep having

(02:25:33):
to explain the bit, it means it's not landing except
for anybody but you.

Speaker 23 (02:25:39):
Oh yeah, that's that's been so comical and not of
the intentional sort because the you know, the media wants
to pimp this out and they want to say, oh man,
he's doing a fantastic job, and he's not. I saw
a guy from CNN last week said, you can't find
a single poll that shows Gavin Newsom has a low

(02:26:01):
disapproval number. And it's like there's like three dozen and
if you total them up, his approval is twenty nine,
his disapproval is fifty two. They're in such abject denial
it's a pretty damn amusing to watch. And it's just
let them go. You know, they're praising this social media
pushed by Gavin Newsom. That's an utter cringe fest. Yeah,

(02:26:25):
keep it up, guy, You know, you guys think it's hilarious,
which is a supreme minority. It's amazing to watch.

Speaker 1 (02:26:33):
Yeah, So Beez brings up another interesting point like Pritzker
showing pictures of walking along during the day where customarily
nothing happens in Chicago. But there's another little side note.
Apparently somebody used AI to kind of gauge the shadows
on those pictures, and they said, from what they could tell,
those pictures were taken somewhere between six thirty and seven am,

(02:26:55):
meaning almost nobody was awakened anyway. So that's true. That
would explain a lot kind of like all these.

Speaker 23 (02:27:00):
Show didn't record the security detail that was trailing him.

Speaker 1 (02:27:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (02:27:05):
Right, I hope the brush conference he gave recently where
he showed a pristine vista behind him and he's like, oh, yeah,
I'm living in Donald Trump's mind, and then the cameraman
panned up and he was actually in front of Trump Tower.
Well done there, Fred Flintstone.

Speaker 1 (02:27:24):
See, and again I'm not I'm not trying to tell
the GOP that they need I mean, in my opinion,
they need to. They should have already had the pedal
of the firewall and just putting their knee on the
neck of all of his bs and just staying with it.
But at the same time, the fact that the Democrats
are still running against Trump, who most likely cannot will
not be running in twenty twenty eight is astounding to

(02:27:47):
me because it's another disconnect for their party. What concerns me,
and as somebody who's done this for a long time too,
I kind of want to get your read on this
because what's concerning to me is there was an Iowa
special election again the other day where there was a
state House that was flipped which removed Iowa super majority
for the Republicans, which means they saw a majority, but

(02:28:07):
they don't have a supermajority anymore. What's concerning to me
is if you look at all the special elections that
have happened since January, they're all going one direction, or
shall we say one direction.

Speaker 23 (02:28:20):
It's kind of the you're also dealing with the mid
term reality, and usually the you know, whatever party is
in power loses ground to some degree. But I don't
really I don't think it's a bell weather of larger
problems because if you look at so many of the
other metrics, like the one that came out of a
week or so ago that showed about twenty five to

(02:28:42):
thirty states had Democrat voter registration dropping significantly all the
way in conty California too, but they're still locked in.
I don't think it's panic mode right now. And then
wherever you've turned, the Democrats are just a mess. They
have just this year so far, they're fundraising has only

(02:29:05):
been about fifteen to twenty million coming in. That's the
same total that they've had to spend on Kamala Harris's
election debt. So not only are they not having the
money at their disposal, but their donors are realizing, I'm
going to pay for a candidate and you're just going

(02:29:25):
to use it to apply it to your debt and
doesn't even go to the candidate. And at Blue is
falling apart right now. A couple of days ago, Bill
Gates said he's pulling his funding from his charitable donation
to the Democrat Party and their packs. It's just wherever
you look, the party's in disarray and I don't think

(02:29:47):
they have the Jews or the traction to really have
a big impact on the midterms.

Speaker 1 (02:29:53):
Well, from your lip, from your lips to God's ear, sir,
because I again I have concerns because and I'm not
saying that it's gonna happen the way that I'm afraid
is gonna happen. I'm just terrified because I feel like
the Republican Party isn't doing enough. I mean, I will
say that there's a new poll out in Virginia, which
is one of the places that has been scaring me,

(02:30:14):
and win some series is apparently gaining ground every time
they take new polling, so maybe I can panic a
little less. But at the same time, I'm just gonna
tell everybody the same thing I always tell you midterm turnout.
Midterms turnouts always suck. Make sure you vote, because that's
that's anyway. But I want to talk about this. I'm
gonna put it up on the screen here and make

(02:30:36):
us smaller so everybody can see it. This happened, and
it's it's kind of hilarious. It's a bit of a
longer clip. I don't really know what all's in it,
but I want to let me turn that down a

(02:31:00):
little bit because there's not anybody's talking, and that's kind
of loud. So what's your witnessing? Is jd Vance removing
protesters moment in the sun by redirecting his motorcade so
that they had to rush to try to protest him,
and by the time they got there pretty much already.

Speaker 23 (02:31:19):
Well this, yeah, this just paints another picture of democratic competence.
They're protesting jd Vance like they're going to change jd
Vance's mind about jd Vance.

Speaker 1 (02:31:31):
Well, the whole thing about this is and this is
again one of those things that just makes absolutely no
sense to me when you really stop and think about
it logically, which we know Democrats don't like doing, but
really needs to happen. Still anyway, is this the Vice
president really does absolutely nothing other than tiebreakers when required
by this in the Senate. That's it. That's pretty much

(02:31:52):
their only job outlined by the Constitution. So why are
you protesting this guy? I just I don't get it.

Speaker 23 (02:32:00):
Because he has opinions, he's willing to criticize Europeans, he's
willing to push the agenda of the administration. Go figure.
I just I gotta say though, that video was kind
of encouraging because when you think about it, look at
the exercise that those corpulent boomers were finally getting because

(02:32:21):
they're darting across the grassland there. Well, I'm your heart
rate had been going up for the first time in
a few months.

Speaker 1 (02:32:29):
There it looks like, well, I mean, I'm sure everybody
that's done the work that I used to do probably
has a similar story, because I remember, and this was,
you know, mid nineties, back when there was still I think, yeah,
this was before it got taken away by Obama. So
we're rolling up on a we're rolling through an area
right that we're doing our patrol routes, and at that point,

(02:32:49):
you know, that was when when we had folks available
in the worst areas, we would sometimes roll in two
three cars deep. So the car in front of us,
which was the supervisor, all of a sudden ghost code
three meaning lights and sirens, and we're all radio going,
what's what's going on? What did you see? It's like nothing,
I'm just contributing to the President's physical fitness program. And
then turns the lights back off. And I'm sure that's

(02:33:13):
probably happened more than once, because I've heard other people
with that same story. Like I had an experience that
I thought was pretty unique. There was a there was
a boot they called him now, who had pissed off
his too and dude came back from lunch break and
was basically sent home for the day because he screwed
up that bad. They're like, you know, you're gonna get

(02:33:35):
You're gonna get some time off, come back and think
about it a day or so. When dude went to
go change out of his uniform, there was a rooster
that jumped out of his locker. And I've heard that
in more than one jurisdiction as well. So fun, fun times,
but again very specific right there. But yeah, so anyway, Yeah,

(02:33:57):
I mean, one thing I will tell you is anybody
that's you know done, doesn't work in the medical field,
the paramedic, field, dispatch, field, law enforcement, firefighters, all those things,
we usually wind up having very dark senses of humor
because it becomes a coping mechanism. Now, unfortunately, there seems
to be studies linking dark senses of humors too early
onset Alzheimer's. So I guess we'll find out if I

(02:34:17):
started forgetting shit.

Speaker 23 (02:34:20):
I just I'm cracking up. Though, In like every one
of these anti Trump protests, you can't find people that
are below the age of like sixty. It's just like
the boomers. Last Hurrah going on. I suppose did you
see the video yesterday where they had a group of
protesters at a rainbow crosswalk that was about to be

(02:34:41):
erased or painted over.

Speaker 1 (02:34:43):
Yeah, and they had the geriatric crowd protesting.

Speaker 23 (02:34:46):
One guy's laying down in it, and no fewer than
two of the people are in either walkers or an
actual hove around, all of them white haired, seventy year
old boomers. It's just this is what's all that's left
in their lives anymore. Well, we're retired, we may as
well go out there and be activists once again and

(02:35:07):
relive our glory days of some sort. Yeah, I mean,
this is one of those things protests. Was just that
it looked like the bus let out from Century Village.
It was just nothing but white hairs and holding signs.
Is we hate Kings and fantastic we haven't had one
in two hundred and seventy years.

Speaker 1 (02:35:27):
But okay, we hate Kings, but we love Delvis. This
is when I again say, BZ, do something about your folks.

Speaker 23 (02:35:40):
It's just you can't really get motivated by any of
this though. It's like, what impact are they having, Who's
having their opinion changed by any of this. It's like
these are the default cranks and complainers. You're preaching to
the choir. I don't think a twenty five year old
is going to say, oh wow, Grandpa opposes this now.

(02:36:01):
I think it's cool. It's gonna have the opposite effect,
so keep at it. I guess it keeps you out
of the Bengo halls, So go ahead.

Speaker 1 (02:36:13):
Keep shout of the Bengo halls, and keeps you from
chasing the ladies and the old folks on I guess.
But so I did see a story that has me
a little concerned, and I'm still doing some digging on it,
but apparently Europe is now pushing for the idea of
a soft zone between Ukraine and the rest of Europe,
basically kind of allah the Iron Curtain. I don't know
if I like that idea, because I feel like we're

(02:36:35):
kind of giving Putin what he wants at that point
when we start separating and we're like, yeah, we're gonna
put you guys behind this wall over here and let
you guys figure it out.

Speaker 23 (02:36:42):
Yeah, And aren't these the people that were complaining about
us putting.

Speaker 1 (02:36:45):
Up a border wall, right?

Speaker 23 (02:36:47):
It's like we're hateful for protecting our border while they
do it. And yeah, I point out the people too.
It's like, you want to see a border wall, why
don't you look at the one between Egypt and Palestine, right,
because that thing looks like maximum security prison. Double They
have a double wall. It's about twenty five thirty feet tall,

(02:37:09):
a couple feet thick razor wire up and down the thing.
And this is to keep Palestinians out, who everybody is
supposed to be in favor of, in granting and jealous
statist to.

Speaker 1 (02:37:22):
This just proves that some many on our side don't
even understand the politics of the region. And this is
coming from somebody who's talked to somebody who lives in
the region as a guest when Stacey and I were
doing regular shows, Joseph Levine. And the thing about it is,
the reason these people are hated so much is because

(02:37:43):
they are the descendants of a group of people that
back in the sixties promised to deliver Egypt. Are delivered
Israel back to the rest of them at least, and
they failed. And in that society, failure is a lot
like it was in feudal Japan. You fail, all of
your ancestors are disgraced until you find a way to
reverse the failure, which is why they are continually willing

(02:38:04):
to throw themselves into this meat grinder and why the
rest of the Middle East is like, we don't want
you because your people suck.

Speaker 23 (02:38:11):
And the thing that nobody wants to reconcile. They want
to force the Palestinians on Israel, and you know, they
want their own sanctimony and their Islamic You've got to
respect that. It's like, how come they don't go to
Islamic nations that they're surrounded by and they get rebuffed
every single time. Libya won't take them, Jordan won't take them.

(02:38:33):
I mean, there's got to be a reason for that,
but you're not allowed to address that reason. And it's
the same kind of mentality we saw this week with
the shooting. Not to roll back to it, but the
press covering the shooting didn't want to address the actual facts.
They had to deflect and spin and do everything else
they could to avoid the realities. And it's we just
see this across the board when it comes to our

(02:38:55):
media and the leadership, that they don't want to address
fundamental facts.

Speaker 1 (02:39:02):
And it's just insane to me. And the thing about
it is history bores out the way these people feel
about the as you call them the Palestinians, as I
call them the Gosins, because Philistine was a made up
Roman word that eventually became Palestine. So anyway, the thing
about all of that is this is borne out through

(02:39:24):
history because there have been a couple of times in
history where Middle Easterners were like, you know what, maybe
we'll give you guys another shot. So they let some
of them back in, and then they start causing the
same agitation and everything in the Middle Eastern country that
they just supposedly got refuge from. So this is the
other reason why. One they really don't want anything to
do with them in the first place, because they're all

(02:39:45):
descends of descendants of people that didn't deliver what they promised.
And two a few times they've tried to extend an
olive branch, the olive branch has been met with a knife,
and they're like, we're done with you, We're done.

Speaker 23 (02:39:58):
And it's that's the thing. And nobody wants to look
at history or look at facts because it's uncomfortable and
it interrupts the narrative, so they have to do something
else and spin it. It was kind of like when
was it a month or two ago we saw those
activist groups from America go over and they were going
to save Gaza. Yeah, they're in Egypt, and the Egyptians

(02:40:21):
basically attack this group of activists. Get the hell out
of here. We don't want you. We're not getting you
over there. There's a wall keeping you from getting in,
and we're not helping you out. It's just and they
were dismayed. They were like, how dare they We're just
trying to help. We're goodhearted people and they're like good GTFO.

Speaker 1 (02:40:41):
Yeah, and then you know, who gives a shit? But
it's just astounding to me, and I've been I spent
almost the entire first hour talking about this, the fact
that the left once and basically requires that everybody live
in their emotion, and everybody lived to their reaction to
history in their emotional responses, which is why they're still

(02:41:01):
re litigating things that happened two hundred years ago and
telling you how bad they are. We understand how bad
they are, but we also understand that those things were
two hundred years ago. There's no need to be discussing
reparations anymore. The people that were freed originally had reparations.
Anybody remember forty acres on the mule that was considered
reparations now rand at the time. That may not seem

(02:41:22):
like a lot today, but it should imagine owning forty
acres somewhere today and what the property values would likely be,
because I know I'm sitting on a two acre lot
and by a loan, the land was one hundred thousand dollars,
so multiply and that's in Oklahoma, so multiply that by
another thirty eight I'd be a millionaire.

Speaker 23 (02:41:44):
Well, I just I still laugh at the people that
have to cling to these things from two centuries ago,
and they call themselves progressive. They don't want to address
things in real time, contemporary facts. And it's we see
that all the time in the media too, that the
people that scream about misinformation do not want to address

(02:42:06):
truth and facts. And so when a school shooting like
this takes place, they want to deny that there was
transgender issues. And they even said something like you're gonna
hear it from the MAGA crowd that this was an
anti Trump shooter. It's like because they were an anti
Trump shooter.

Speaker 1 (02:42:27):
I mean, yeah, there's pretty much no way around it guys,
sorry to tell you.

Speaker 23 (02:42:31):
It does killed Donald Trump on the gun. I think
it's pretty established what their opinion of the guy was.
But this is what they have to recalibrate and re
litigate it. Just no, no, it's not that. The most
disgusting was ABC News when they were doing the live
coverage of it after seeing the manifesto, they didn't address

(02:42:51):
trans and the I'm still shaking my head at the
correspondent is that and Donald Trump's name appeared on the gun?
Uh huh? In what context Aaron.

Speaker 1 (02:43:04):
All praise hip or Trump had to leave that out
for some.

Speaker 23 (02:43:08):
Reason, I mean literally trying to frame the shooter as
coming from MAGA.

Speaker 2 (02:43:12):
It was.

Speaker 23 (02:43:13):
It was disgusting as can be. And these are the
people that supposedly hate misinformation.

Speaker 1 (02:43:19):
Well, of course they do, unless it's serving, unless it's
serving their narrative. It's all of this is just insane
to me. So there's there's been other developments like I
didn't know. I didn't hear about this until today after
the story broke that it had been rescinded. But apparently
at some point on the way out before walking out

(02:43:41):
of the office, Joe Biden's auto pin extended the vice
president the former vice president's Secret Service detail protection by
like eighteen months. I guess customarily the outgoing vice president
gets it for six months, which I didn't know that.
I thought they were another one that got it for life.
But I guess not. But I guess the auto pen

(02:44:02):
because nobody can tell me it was. Biden extended it
by eighteen months. Trump figured that out and said, yeah,
she's had it for an extra two let's make that
go away. And now the left is pit He're trying
bah bah like, aren't you the same people that keeps
complaining that he's not actually trying to save us money,
and yet every time he tries to save us money'll
yell about how he's trying to do it. I'm confused.

Speaker 23 (02:44:25):
Yeah, they'll they'll docks anybody they can in the administration,
but then squeal that he's trying to get her killed.
Kind of a they have a hard time reconciling so much.

Speaker 1 (02:44:37):
Yeah it's nuts. But yeah, So the other thing that
I found interesting, and this is something that's kind of
making the rounds now after they did the whole Donald
Trump's only going after Joe Biden or not Joe Biden
John Bolton for political retribution. And now all the story
is coming out about how this was an investigation that
was actually started under the Biden administration and then swept
under the rug has has made it back into the

(02:45:00):
common culture and consciousness of America. But it's like, oh,
so it wasn't really about political retribution after all, you
all just liked the guys, so you didn't look into
it anymore. Hmmm, funny how that works.

Speaker 23 (02:45:14):
I've been trying to point out to so many of
them that their use of the word retribution or revenge
kind of carries a certain reality with that. I mean,
if you're saying that this is retribution, law fair, doesn't
that have to then say it was.

Speaker 1 (02:45:32):
The fact that there was actually again Yeah, so that
that's the part. That's the part of the program where
we talk about the fact that words matter. So the
fact that they're throwing around retribution and all these things
basically means that they understand that the Biden administration tried
to destroy an entire family.

Speaker 23 (02:45:52):
And we're seeing this too with who wasn't from the
Fat Lisa Cook. She's uh, you know, she's get bounce
because of mortgage fraud. So is they're complaining about this. Oh,
it's just going after him. It's notable that they're going
after people over mortgage fraud.

Speaker 1 (02:46:12):
It was like, well, why do you suppose I still
freely submit. That's a lot more widespread problem than anybody
wants to admit, because most of the time the mortgage
companies will be like, oh, just go ahead and check
that box. It's fine. Apparently it's not fine. I shouldn't
have done that.

Speaker 23 (02:46:32):
Yeah, yeah, I mean there's gonna be some Republicans.

Speaker 1 (02:46:37):
I mean, police already said they're going to it doesn't
matter party affiliation. They're going after everybody that's done it
because they want they want the mortgage companies to stop
going well, if you check this box right here, we
can get you through the door. I will. I won't
tell you how I know that happened, because I don't
know if the statute of limitations is expired. But I

(02:46:58):
do know what happened.

Speaker 23 (02:47:02):
Like CNN tried to make an excuse too, it's like, well,
we don't know if she did it intentionally or not.
It's like, well, she bought both properties within two weeks
of each other. I think she had a determination which
one would be primary residence. But you know, and then well,
this was a private matter. It shouldn't affect her FED.
Oh so her job of managing finances and mortgages shouldn't

(02:47:28):
be affected by her mismanagement of her finances and her mortgage.
Shouldn't that be Sorry, you.

Speaker 1 (02:47:33):
Shouldn't that be a direct correlation causation kind of thing.
I'm saying. You know, when it's your job, it kind
of matters. But I think we're I think we're about
to live in interesting times because I think part of
the reason why Donald Trump is pushing for all of
this as hard as he is, is because right now,
the FED is Schrodinger's Bank, because depending upon who you ask,

(02:47:54):
it is either an independent banking organization wrapped in a
flag or it is an extension of the executive branch,
And depending on who you ask, it exist is both simultaneously.
Thanks to these pushes and everything that's happening, we're about
to find out from the Supreme Court which one it
actually is. And if it turns out that this is
actually just a glorified bank wrapt in a flag, it

(02:48:15):
needs to be dissolved immediate.

Speaker 23 (02:48:21):
Yeah. That's the thing is, it's always somehow interpretational. I mean,
I saw this from CNN last weekend on another issue
where they were trying to suggest that the DOJ and
others act independently and Donald Trump is not the national
law enforcement officer, And it's like, do you realize that
the DOJ is under the executive branch? And this is

(02:48:44):
somebody who claims to be a ten year lawfair veteran
of DC.

Speaker 1 (02:48:48):
It's like, I, well, I will say this that as
somebody that's come from that background. The common parlance is
the AG is the top cop in the country, but
the AG does report directly to the president, which means
technically he's like, so the AG is like the chief
and Trump is the commissioner. It's basically what we're looking
at here.

Speaker 23 (02:49:09):
Yeah, just I mean it's a matter of you know,
chain of command. I know some of the DC police
officers leadership has a problem with that terminology.

Speaker 1 (02:49:20):
That can you can you tell me how the chain
of command is going to work?

Speaker 3 (02:49:24):
Now?

Speaker 1 (02:49:24):
Can?

Speaker 2 (02:49:25):
What do you mean?

Speaker 23 (02:49:28):
What is that phrase you've just used? That's a curious term.

Speaker 1 (02:49:32):
Yeah, Like the hell, the chief of police understand what
the word of command? You want to talk about? The
d I hire, there's your proof.

Speaker 23 (02:49:47):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 1 (02:49:48):
Didn't you in the chain of command and you're at
the top of it. This proves to me you did
not earn it. Good lord. Oh So the other one
that I'm absolutely loving, and I have to admit I
did some research because I didn't know this till I
looked it up, was I guess because of all the
stuff that's been happening at the train station in DC,

(02:50:11):
DOT is taking it back. They were letting Amtrak kind
of run it. They're like, yeah, no, y'all are doing
a shit job with it. We're taking it back. Everybody's
freaking out. You can't really say it's a federal takeover, though,
because that would be an oxymoron, since Dots owned it
the entire time.

Speaker 23 (02:50:27):
Well yeah, and then well it was about a year
year and a half ago when it was turned over
to me.

Speaker 1 (02:50:32):
I wonder if.

Speaker 23 (02:50:34):
I'm sorry, if you look at the history of Amtrak,
not exactly the most exemplary leadership for an entity that
loses over a billion dollars every.

Speaker 1 (02:50:46):
I mean, Amtrak is Amtrak is the epitome of the
song Monoail from The Simpsons.

Speaker 23 (02:50:53):
Yeah, exactly, and it you know again, it's like facts
to interfere people while there's no problem at Union Station. Well,
I got a headline right here that shows you somebody
got murdered there in February, and also that half of
the shops inside the place have shuddered because of the

(02:51:13):
violence and the crime and the lack of business that
has led to I mean, Starbucks got out of there.
How do you how does starbars?

Speaker 1 (02:51:21):
There's Starbucks on every freaking corner, whether you need one
or not. There's a Starbucks right like, there's a in
in the little town that I'm six miles from, in
an area that has all of these boutique coffee shops
that have really really good coffee. There is now a
Starbucks in the Walmart parking lot in the town that
I am six miles east of. So they're everywhere.

Speaker 23 (02:51:46):
You've got a train station that is a captive audience
for coffee. I'm sorry, these people need caffeine as they're
going to work, and Starbucks couldn't survive there. They had
a Pizza Ria Uno shut down months ago that's been
there for thirty five years. Don't tell me there's no
problem at this place and crime is rampant. I mean,

(02:52:10):
Scott Jennings said he even witnessed the murder take place.

Speaker 1 (02:52:13):
In So this goes back to an argument that's been
happening for a long time, because you know, in urban
areas they talk about these food deserts and things like
that that have been a thing for forever, where you know,
there's no place for people to get fresh fruits, fresh produce, YadA, YadA, YadA.
What they don't tell you is, and this is something
that I've been talking about for almost as long as
I've been doing this off and on, is one of
the reasons they don't have those kind of things in

(02:52:34):
those areas is because when they try to put them in,
they're basically robbed out of existence because they they they're
there's not enough for them to be able to keep
them open. And then Missouri had the grand idea of, well,
let's try this, and they decided to do a government
run grocery store basically kind of sort of not really
but mostly and that shuddered because they couldn't keep anything

(02:52:58):
on the shelves and they were losing money right and left,
kind of like we used to see in Soviet Russia,
where in Soviet Russia you don't shop grocery store. Grocery
store shop you because there's nothing for you to shop
and and this, this is the model that they want.
Here really did and what scares me. And I will

(02:53:18):
say that I'm glad to see that the earlier, the
younger parts of gen Z seem to be turning away
from this, because a lot of the older millennials, older
gen Z are full on on board with communism. Even
in Oklahoma, I've seen people that I used to work
with that are like, we've tried this capitalism shit long enough,
we should try communism. I'm like, maybe we should go

(02:53:40):
visit a communist country before you say stupid shit online.

Speaker 23 (02:53:46):
That's uh, that's the privileged class of this country. Amazingly enough,
you don't see a lot of poor people coming out
and saying we need communism. It's always the affluent types
that are in Ivy League schools like Columbia.

Speaker 1 (02:54:01):
Oh no, I mean here, I'm talking about people that
I know that working call centers that actually are you know,
hourly employees and busting their buds to make into and
they're like, maybe we should try this communism thing for
a while and see if it works any better. And
I'm like, Uh, do you even understand what you just said?

Speaker 23 (02:54:16):
That's sure, there we have history, you can you can
research this.

Speaker 1 (02:54:21):
Yeah, but keep in mind these are from the age
groups where history wasn't being taught anymore. And even if it,
even if there was something akin to history being taught,
they rebranded it to this thing called social studies so
that we could talk about all of the touchy feely
parts of everything that happens around the world instead of
the important things. But anyway, I digress, all right, dude.

(02:54:43):
That's the thing as even before I graduated high school,
I had twenty six social science credits, including like two
or three different types of Civics classes, and you only
needed like eight to graduate's That's that's the political merit
I've always been. I just didn't really understand the avenue
of how to make it make me money until much
later in life. Because I joke with a guy that's

(02:55:05):
about my same age who does a talk show here
and is also he's been the head of the House
the House in House GOP in Oklahoma and has done
political consulting. He actually ran jac Watch's campaign here in Oklahoma.
He's nineteen, and I'm like, dude, if I knew everything
back then that you knew about how to make this
shit work. We probably would have had very similar life paths.

(02:55:28):
But I didn't know enough about all that yet.

Speaker 23 (02:55:35):
It's what you're describing right there.

Speaker 1 (02:55:38):
I didn't have much of that when I was young.

Speaker 23 (02:55:43):
Well, by definition, when you're young, you know everything, and
when you're older.

Speaker 1 (02:55:49):
Yeah, I mean, some people seem to figure out things
sooner than others. And you would think with somebody who
you know, has the retention capacity that I do, et cetera,
I would have been one of those people. But I
really kind of wasn't. I took advantage of the fact
that I could remember a lot of things that just
kind of coasted when I really should have been paying
more attention.

Speaker 23 (02:56:05):
I yeah, pretty much the same here. I've when it
comes to this kind of stuff. I've got a little
bit of a recall ability that I can like, wait
a second, there's a thing that happened, let me find it.

Speaker 1 (02:56:17):
And that's sort I mean, it makes doing this really good,
but it also, you know, at the same time, I'm
like you, if I would have used this memory when
I was younger, there's no telling rare I could have
actually been today Instead of just being I don't want
too because I'm yeah. So I'm one of the reasons why,
you know, in today's society, you know, it used to
be as long as you could pass your tests, they

(02:56:38):
really didn't care. So the teachers didn't really pay attention
to your homework much. I mean they did, they still
graded it. But I'm one of the reasons why homework
has waited because I could literally not do any of
my homework and ace my test and still get to
see average.

Speaker 23 (02:56:54):
Yep, I was there.

Speaker 1 (02:56:55):
I didn't care because everyone's like, you're so much smarter,
you should have a's and b's, and I'm like, I could,
but why I want to go home and play video
games and stuff. And yeah. The only time that did
never work for me was fourth grade when my parents
got divorced, because I didn't even try with my homework,
and technically I still passed. It was with a very
high D. But my mom's like, no, you're getting held back.
I'm like, fuck you, So, yeah, I should have graduated

(02:57:17):
in ninety one instead, I graduated in ninety two because
I literally phoned in everything in the fourth grade and
my mom's like, nope, we're not doing that. You get
to do the fourth grade over again. So all my
friends left me, and then two years later we left
the state, so I guess it didn't really matter anyway.

Speaker 23 (02:57:35):
Fun time, Oh why can identify?

Speaker 1 (02:57:38):
All right, Well, believe it or not, my friend, we
have come to the end of our hour together. So
really quick, anything you see on the horizon that might
be breaking over the weekend. People need to be paying
attention for favorite story. I know I'm making you pick
your favorite child again, but I do ask every time.

Speaker 23 (02:57:54):
Well, I'm kind of right now working on a piece
about the Democrats and just the overall malaise that they're in.
Springboarding off of that Bill Gates announcement that he's pulling
his cash out of the party and some of the
other things that.

Speaker 1 (02:58:09):
Have I meant to get to that and we ran
out of time. That is actually kind of a huge
announcement that Bill Gates is like, no, fuck you guys,
I'm taking my ball and going home.

Speaker 23 (02:58:22):
And it's just it's more indicative of the problems they're having.
I mean, what was it in February or March they
were going to launch this new YouTube channel so they
could get into the Joe Rogan sphere and they managed
the most people that watch was. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:58:35):
I mean, if you look at our monthly numbers, we're
on track for where they were much smaller.

Speaker 23 (02:58:42):
And they have a whole fake news operation going on,
you know, where they operate all these websites for supposed
local news outlets across the country, and that thing's losing
money left and right, and they're begging for funding that
the party doesn't have, and it's just like everywhere you look,
there's another problem for this party. So I'm kind of
putting on.

Speaker 1 (02:59:03):
All I have to say about Bill Gates is until
you give up on this meat his murder thing, I
ain't talking to you, motherfucker, because that's a lot.

Speaker 23 (02:59:12):
Yeah, Gates can just go pound sand and Mike milliight
up a bowline.

Speaker 1 (02:59:19):
Maybe he's gonna try to do the whole Elon Musk
thing and start a third party with all of his money.
That would be entertaining because that will likely pull from Democrats,
which would be very very helpful. So maybe that's what's happening.
That would be nice. All right, my friend, that's it.
That's the show. Where can folks find you?

Speaker 23 (02:59:41):
Well, I'm available daily over at Townhall dot com with
my media column there and also on the front page
of Red State. I've got a twice weekly podcast there
